Another bug to report with the new OTA. If you missed the first one, here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226052
Multiple users have told me that they have this problem also. I thought it was just me at first, but since this seems to be an issue for others, attention should be drawn to it.
I have a phone-lock issue with the phone now after the update.
Basically, the phone doesn't register my first power button click to put the phone on standby.
I have to hit it twice for the phone to drop to standby.
At first, I thought it was a hardware issue, but I never have a problem waking the phone from standby. Therefore, it's not the power button. It's a problem with the update.
Anybody else have this? Any workarounds? Solutions?
I'm actually having the opposite problem. I sometimes have to press the power button twice to wake it up. And my battery life is so much worse now, other than that, I haven't noticed anything else for now.

Can't confirm haven't received my ota in Asian region yet.

I do not have any such problem on mine. It's the European/International version, though.
I seem to be having this issue now. Never noticed it prior to the update. First few times I thought I missed the button or something.
I have the same as problem as well which sucks as I also have the phone bug. Does flashing a new rom fix this?

Have you tried doing a master reset- with the new update? It might clear out some of the bugs? I did the update today and I don't have those problems.

I'm having the same exact problem. I sometimes have to hit the button twice to unlock and my battery life is getting worse than what it was..
I'm having the same problem with lock and unlock.. takes sometimes 2-3 clicks for it to process.

I am definitely having that problem as well, looking for a way to just turn off screenshots until needed.
I´ve no problem at all after upgrade. My sensation was untouched before OTA message came and it was installed smooth and fast.
Battery usage are not known yet but after 6 hours it´s act like normal !!
None of mentioned issues on my Sensation after OTA (Central Europe - stock ROM, never rooted/S-OFFed/whatever).
To be perfectly honest, my Sensation went only better in all ways
I am having this same issue- but after the second time i hit the power button to wake up, the phone reboots. Is anyone else experiencing this??
Its dont it like 2-3 times today....happened a couple of other times since i updated a week ago.
Not had these issues at all. Did with my old Desire funnily enough, though
It has something to do with the home screen capture feature I'm pretty sure. If you press home in between the lock button taps it'll keep on takin shots. Random

I have got the same problem, i have to press the power button twice to put it into standby and also sometimes i have to press it twice to turn the screen on, it's wierd, i thought it may have been a hardware problem, but it clearly isn't if quite a few of us have it? Also I am running a custom ROM, Android Revolution HD 3.0.0, which is based on the WWE 2.3.4 rom.

Yup, if you try taking a screen shot with home and power button, then try to put it into standby, the phone definitely does show this problem.
I have the same problem. Power button is very buggy and doesn't turn the screen on every time and likewise, doesn't turn it off everytime. Screen comes on by itself at random times and sometimes when you press the power button, screen goes off but comes back on immediately.
just a question, is this a problem with sensation owners who went for the OTA from stock or those from S-OFF then installed the OTA, etc.?
no asian OTA as of the moment, i hope HTC pulls out a fix right away

As you all know when ya go to power off the Sensation, there is the option to "restart" the phone.
This is my 2nd Sensation that does not like that feature one bit.
Power off works fine, but when I hit restart, the phone shuts off and will not turn on by itself? In fact, it goes into a little mini hibernation and wont wake for a few minutes no matter how long I hold the power button down.....very strange.
It's no big deal...just strange to have it act the same way when choosing "restart" on two different units.
Anyone encounter this on the Sensation?
Thx!
It happened to me in the first few days but now its all ok. It restarts fine.

I had exactly the same, give it few days and it seems to resolve itself.. Give it a bit.

Hmmmm, strange indeed.
I've had this 2nd one for a week....guess ill try it on day 8
That's weird, mine is working fine. Have you tried to hard reset? pretty sure it is a software problem.
Mine works and worked fine right out of the box.
Right on.... No biggie. Everything else is perfect.
Yes, I've done factory resets, battery pulls on both units....same thing.
I just won't use the restart feature.
Thansks guys!
Mine works fine. I only use it when I charge my phone completely to reset the Uptime & Awake time. If not, It keeps running on the same timers I powered it off with.
I'm on my 2nd sensation and neither of them actually restarts. They just powered off
I had no problems with restart, but noticed it wouldn't yesterday?
Cool...probably just a random software bug. Maybe HTC will fix it over time.
Stupid question - are you waiting after the phone shuts down for the reboot? At first I thought mine wasn't working either but then I just waited for about 10 seconds after the shutdown and the startup starts again.
It's probably faster to just shut it down and then power it up.
Works great for me.
Mine didn't work until I turned off Fast Boot.

Yea it happen when I'm in a phone conversation
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Works for me, although it seems like the boot was slower than normal. I didn't time it, but subjectively it seemed so.
Also, had one instance earlier where a "power off" actually rebooted rather than shutting down.
It's all been fine since that odd instance.
Mine does tmo sensation....
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Mine is from o2, arrived yesterday. Reboot doesn't work for me either. Same as you described.
I'm my case, fastboot needs to be enabled for it to restart properly.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
mine works perfectly fine, no problems with restart
So I found a bug where in I was able to take screenshots when pressing the home button. But it would happen everytime I pressed the home button so I kept taking screenshots all the time. This happened when I just sent a message on Gtalk, the keyboard was still active and pressed home and it said something along the lines of screenshot saved. The only way to stop this was to turn it off then on, but the first try to press the power down button, it did not want to turn the screen off.
Anyway, just letting the crowd know out there what they could expect. Seems more bugs that I've personally come across than before the update.
This is annoying the hell out of me!
Since the update I did earlier this has happened numerous times and the only way out of it is pressing the arrow key.
It goes back to normal after a few minutes then acts up again...
VERY odd.
Just checked out some other forums. This seems to be a pretty common error. The update did provide the ability to take a screen shot by holding the power button and hitting the home key.

Mine was doing the same, hitting power made it stop.
Hi there. Im from Russia and I had this bug for a several times too. I have original non-operator version of Sensation 3g, so I don't think the reason is your operator or 4g ability.
Freaking hate this bug!

Mine only does it when I use gtalk with sound or video. Other than that it never happens. To get rid of it I have to restart the device.

If interested, there is a temporary workaround if you are rooted.
That is, edit your build.prop file (/system/build.prop) with terminal or file explorer with root privileges and look for the line "ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true".
Either comment this line ("#") or change "true" to "false" then save build.prop and reboot twice.
THIS WILL DISABLE BUILT-IN SCREEN SHOOTS!! But it will also get rid of this bug.
Now go grab an app from Market if you need to take screen shoots, but don't like this bug.

I have this bug too and it's VERY annoying. I would rather HTC fix it than me having to disable a function of the phone!
I have the same problem!
Also the power button doesn't always turn the screen off and vice versa, it doesn't always turn it on. The screen comes on by itself at random times and sometimes when you press the power button, the screen turns off but then back on by itself.

I've not rooted unfortunately
Has anyone heard more on this? My girlfriend's phone is doing it and she's afraid of voiding her warranty by rooting it.
Is there a way to stop this bug without the rooting of the phone ?
Mine just did this for the first time today. I didn't even know the Sensation was capable of taking screenshots until the home button just randomly started snapping them today. That was annoying.
Hello guys I was wondering if anybody else is having this problem, sometimes when I press the back key on my att nexus s it freezes for a couple of secs then it goes back to normal, it won't matter what I am doing it could be anything from visiting the marketplace to browsing the web its really annoying me a lot at this point.
If you know anyway how to fix this issue please let me know thanks.
I have the same problem, but it also happens with my menu and search keys. The individual backlight will dim and the phone freezes for 4-7 sec.

Not having this issue.

Is the phone freezing or is just the back key randomly not responding to touch? If its the latter, then you need to do an exchange. Common problem.
I used to have this issue but it eventually went away. It happened after they replaced my screen.
I used to have this and assumed it was a hardware thing, changing roms sorted it.
I have no idea why this is the case and when someone else said as much I thought it couldn't be the case but I'd suggest you flash a different ROM and see how you get on.
I have this problem also. Mine will go dark and exit out of anything I'm doing as if I was pressing it. Gets old sometimes

I started getting this about two months into the life of my Nexus. In the process of exchanging mine now in the hours that I get an unaffected unit.

My first one did this constantly so I exchanged it and so far so good with the new one.
Looks like a bad batch of ns4g's went out. Mine is doing this too. Not very ofter but enough that I notice it.

Actually it affects all Nexus S models. I think it is touch panel driver bug.

On my sensation stock, it has to be for work, when and if I hit the back button and the home button in that order my phone takes a screen shot. Sometimes all I have to do is hit the home key. Help me. Make it stop.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Mine did that following the update too, I couldnt wok out how to turn it off. So I did quick reboot and it stopped.
I'm sure there is a setting somewhere for it, but I was too impatient to try and find it.
There's gotta be a fix
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I also had this one, but after a reboot it stopped. Usualy you get this functionality by pressing Power+Home.
And as far as I know there is nothing that can be configured.
A lot of people seem to have this problem. It started happening on my GFs sensation and i dont know how to fix it. Any ideas? System restore maybe?
Hey guys I have been having a pretty serious issue the last couple of days. Was running a CM 10 teamchopsticks nightly from a few weeks ago, which worked perfectly up until three days ago. Then it started crashing randomly, the screen would go black and it would vibrate every few seconds, a battery pull would fix it. I updated the phone to the latest nightly, and now I can't run the phone for 5 minutes without the same type of crash. When I battery pulled and tried to turn on the phone, it would immediately crash about 4/5 of the time. This bug is rendering my phone unusable. Not sure whether this is a Rom issue or something else, thanks in advance.
Not sure what kernel I am running.
Hearing it may be a hardware issue, anyone agree?
Could be, try to odin stock jb or ics. If you still have the problem then it's probably hardware. Unfortunately the rocket is getting old. I'm having some old age problems with mine too. Mostly stuck power button.

I don't Think you have it. Take your battery out and then put it back in. If it boots at that point then that's a sign that you probably do. Or if you try to try to power off you phone but it reboots then that's another sign

Could be a stick power button then, that's almost a sure sign. Mine is intermittent. Some times it's ok, others not not.
