Replaced today,got a sharp, let's see what this does...
Is this the problem you are talking about?
I have the issue where the touchscreen will stop responding at random times. Is that your issue? It is very annoying I got my phone at walmart 3 weeks ago.

This is the only issue I have:
I started seeing the issue with using the ring to unlock my Sensation a couple of days ago.
I found that if I wait about 2 or 3 seconds after pressing the power button to come out of stby, using the ring to unlock works fine.
This is on the TMO US with the AUO screen.

It's odd 4 days into having my sensation I was experiencing issues mostly on the lock screen.. they have somehow seemed to correct itself. I'm thinking an app, or setting or something is causing it. I've changed so many settings and added/removed apps the past few days it could have been anything. But oddly I havent had any issues with it for like 3 or 4 days now
i do not have the TOUCH SCREEN ISSUE
On my first set of sensations, my wifes phone had touch screen issues from day one and mine was fine for the first week then started all of a sudden. Now on the second set, both phones are pretty much useless when plugged in to charge. Both phones purchased here in Tucson. Same store, different build dates.

I have issue with my device bought from expansys USA and also with another one from Expansys, two more from an ebayer (SEA version).
The issue was with all three which i have sold and the one iam using now..
One odd thing i noticed. When you have difficulty in unlocking while the device is locked (Happens) mostly when the device is not in your hands, try touching the phone's body and unlock. It works.
Seems strange.

Never had any touchscreen issues with my Sensation. I did have issues with my G2x....but a factory reset cleared that up if I recall.
Does it still do it after a factory reset, fresh, with NO 3rd party apps installed?
If so, ya got a faulty device.
Well, I'm coming from the G2x, so I know from speed - but I have NO touchscreen issues.

Out of those, who are from a speedier device like Desire HD, Incredible S, etc, feel it. Those who did upgrade from less speedy phones like HD2, Blackstone say they don't have issue.

Thats a load of bollocks. I don't have any touchscreen issues, and I came from the g2x, which is a speed demon.
In fact I have virtually zero issues with the sensation.

Not sure how to vote. I have no issues swiping fast however I can never get it into that carousel mode where the home screen whirls around real fast.
Lock screen....the lock will not move to unlock all the time...and it will not let me click over to answer a different call....

How about we try to stay away from the generalizations.... I DO NOT have any touchscreen issues, and I came from a G2X...and it doesn't get any faster than a G2X.

Same here, i had this issue on days 5 and 6, then it just disappeared. I didn't change any settings and i didn't install/uninstall any apps (that i could remember). Only thing that changed, i drove to summer home on day 5 and it was very high humidity in house when i arrived...
Poll needs another option: Yes, but it fixed itself.

I had this problem with my launch-day evo 4g. If you had it on a table where the phone wasnt grounded, the bottom half of the screen would not respond. This was really evident with a drawing app. I dont have time to experiment with my pone today but maybe someone else can try that.
Here is a video about that. Post here if you unlock the phone only you hold the ring from its left side like on the video.

Actually i had problems with 2 devices i bought from a ebay seller which are singapore versions (SEA) and 2 from Expansys USA. Out of those one from expansys is what iam using now. I have sold the other three.
May be the problem is not for all devices then like what i thought with my experience. May be some batches???
no issues here everything works perfect ,actually almost too sensitive

....oh boy......here we go again.....the same thing was said about the nexus one....people constantly whined about it having a "grounding issue"...then an update was released and the "issue" people had with "grounding" was gone......
There is no "grounding issue" with the phone. Simple as that.
Hi people, I got my desire s a few months back and it seems that it has developed a few faults.
1: the hapatic feedback on the keyboard and the capacitive buttons has gone quite weak. I have 2 work mates who also have a ds and this doesn't happen in theirs.
2: the messaging application force closes quite frequently. Tried factory reset but problem still persists.
3: the rubberised panel on the back of the phone (the one that surrounds the camera lens and flash) seems to be lifting on one side.
Has anyone else encountered these issues?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
No one else experienced these issues? Sorry to bump but need to know if it is a problem or a setting I'm not understanding correctly.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I wish i could help you, but my phone is pretty new.. have like 1 month, and i dont have any of the issues you mentioned.. so i cant tell.
The only fault I have experienced is the Messaging app forcing to close a lot. That's why I want a custom ROM ASAP!
I have also noticed that the text messages do not appear in order when looking at a thread of a certain contact.
I came from the G2X because that phone was riddled with problems, but now it seems like I may have made a huge mistake. That phone's problems were nothing compared to the problems that I'm having with this phone and it seems to be getting worse.
The power button issue where at least two or three times a day, the home button is turning into a screen capture button. VERY annoying to have to deal with that, then go and delete all the stupid screen caps from the photo album.
Inability for the camera to focus on anything in macro/close up. I can't use any barcode apps, which I used to use all the time.
Complete loss of signal for no apparent reason until I toggle on/off airplane mode or restart about two or three times a week. EXTREMELY annoying and makes me miss important calls.
Phone freezing for no apparent reason in middle of a phone call.
The internet lag, which occurs when you're surfing and it takes 4-5 seconds to just connect and start downloading. I've never seen this with any previous smart phones.
These are only the major problems.
Are they planning to fix any of these problems? I have had some bad RMA issues in the past and would prefer not to get a crappy refurbished phone that's going to still have most, if not all of these issues (which all seem pretty wide spread).
Since I know that many of you are having these issues, what are you doing about them?
I don't have any of this issues and you should definitely consider getting an exchange for another Sensation.
I used to have a G2x too and 200% more happy with my Sensation.
What software version are you.running?

I have never had any of these problems with my Sensation, I had a Galaxy S2 for a while before and couldn't be happier with with changing to the Sensation.
Does sound like a faulty phone to be honest.

Unfortunately the problems you are describing are just part of the "fun" of owning a Sensation. This was without a doubt one of the worst purchases I have ever made, and I still cant believe HTC produced this phone. Its almost as if they fired the entire quality control department just to get these handsets out the door. Regardless, I feel bad that you (likely) spent $600 on an awful device like I did. I would suggest you try and sell it on Craigslist and then buy the new Nexus device next month. However, you will then need to deal with knowing you sold some poor sucker a total piece of sh*t....... Its really a 'lose/lose/ situation buddy, I feel for ya!
I came from the g2x as well. After two g2x s and the same problems with both, no GPS locking and **** battery life ( dead by 5pm ). This phone isn't the best but it's been an amazing phone for me. I think you just got a bad one.

Problem is then you are stuck with a crappy phone, AND you cant return it when it fails (again).
I think we have a possible lemon Sensation and a Nexus troll.
My phone is totally stock, and I have none of these problems. It purr's along like a 911 Carrera.

update your rom ota. that's the first thing i did with my phone. def. sounds like some software problems.
You definitely have a faulty unit and need an exchange.
The Optimus 2x and G2x are the worst Android devices of 2011. Riddled with random reboots, reboots by charging and battery pulls, quite frankly how anyone can see it differently is nuts.

That is VERY bad advice. The most recent OTA update actually caused many of the problems people are now experiencing. More specifically, the newest OTA update now causes random screenshots (when pressing home) and makes the touchscreen very unresponsive. If I could go back to the previous version I would, however you do lose some functionality by doing so.
As before, dont just take my advice. Spend a few minutes on this forum and you with find thousands of other users pulling their hair out after purchasing this phone. Regarding the issue that occurs after updating via OTA, I point you to the following thread.

Wow. After having my Sensation for a few months I'm shocked to see you're having all these issues. I've had a ton of smartphones dating back to the Treo 600 and this is the best I have ever had.

I had thought I would be raving about this phone to be honest. I was a blackberry user for well over 10 years, going waaay back to the RIM 850 (I bet most people reading this were YOUNG children when that came out!). In the early 2000's I began importing the original HTC windows mobile handsets for sale on ebay, and I have tested, sold, and used almost every "smartphone" released since then. About a year ago I finally came to the realization that the Blackberry platform was showing its age, so I began looking into Android. After a few months of going back and forth I bought the G2, and then a few months later I "upgraded" to the Sensation. BIG MISTAKE!!! Between the sluggish, battery hogging monster that is the Sense OS and the HORRIBLE build quality of this phone, nothing good has come out of this relationship. For the few that have had no problems with this phone, just wait, they will develop! For those who are toying with the idea of buying this phone JUST WALK AWAY. Unless you can get this phone for free, and unless you don't mind sending it back for repair (over and over and over) then looks elsewhere for your Android fix.
nothing wrong wit mine. completely stock but rooted. i love this phone....
You have a faulty handset. I have none of these problems. This phone is nothing short of amazing.

Faulty phone. Mine has none if those issues. Rooted running stock Rom.

My camera on sensation won't focus, this happened gradually, firstly it was getting harder to focus(take longer time or must change between models), then it can't focus totally. If I use the offical camera software from the offical rom, I tap the screen nothing would change. If I use the camera app from MIUI rom, I set it to focus on long press, it won't focus either. I've tried to flash back the original rom, the same. Even after I bought the camera and change it, it still can't get focus. Now the back camera with 8M pixes even can't take picture better than the front camera.
So I want to know if this is a hardware problem or software? I have searhed on the internet, it seems that only I have this problem. Do any of you guys have suggestions or ideas of what could cause this odd problem?
ps. I can't remember clearly if this problem happens before or after I change the rom, it has a greater chance that before I change rom, this problem has emerged.
Send it back for warranty claim. Look like hw problem to me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
But changing camera won't work, so what's the hardware related to the problem?
I bought it in mainland China but it's for HongKong, there is no warranty here. Thank you, anyway.
So, I was listening to Google Music, playing Words With Friends, and all of a sudden my phone's screen went a little crazy. Wish I could have grabbed a screen shot, but the best I can describe it as is it got "blurry" or "fuzzy" looking. I was able to click and go to other apps, but the screen was still not right. I managed to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? My first instinct is to take it back to AT&t and try to get a replacement, but I don't want to take any drastic action if this is something that is already a known issue (thought I couldn't find any posts about it) and might be fixed in an update, or if it could have just been a fluke...
What would you guys do? Everything else about the phone is fine (working wi-fi, no light bleed, etc.) so i'd hate to get a replacement that has issues, but at the same time if i'm going to keep getting this issue every so often, I'd rather replace it...hmmm, what to do???
I would try getting a replacement but good luck getting one with the current apple law suit.

had a similar "screen" experience when i tried to use Ivona Voice for TTS. when i selected Ivona Voice as my TTS option, the screen would move up and down like i was scrolling up and down. i removed and reinstalled the app only to see the same behavior. i removed the app and have not had any screen issues since then.
fyi, my phone is rooted and i'm using the 1.82 RUU.
I get the odd graphical glitch using the stock keyboard. Pretty random sometimes

I noticed after using the camera on the black and white setting, gTalk was stuck in black and white until I quit and restarted it. It only happened once and I've been unable to duplicate it.
I'm wondering if this might actually be a problem with android 4 and sense 4. I have noticed the weird graphical issues but have never been able to duplicate them. I came from the HTC evo 3d and was rooted running newts HTC one port. On that phone I was having the same issues. Screen flashing randomly while texting and a couple other weird things. Just a thought to chew on

This is 99% likely not a phone issue and is software related. Too many people immediately returning phones without thinking or investigating. This may be free to do and is your right to do but it just drives up costs for everyone in the long run. Just my two cents.
Edit: sorry, I know you are trying to investigate now...I'm mainly referring to the peeps that always instinctively recommend exchanges.
