I was playing around with some button combinations, and I found that if you hold the menu button (to the right of the home button) and the back button, it vibrates once. If you wait a few seconds and do it again it vibrates three times. Im sure it changes some settings, but does anyone know what that is?
Lol I never knew it did that... I have no idea what its for

Logcat ...
did a factory reset on my phone through fastboot and now it wont do it any more...weird
Alright i figured it out. The button combo creates a bug report on your sd card. I kept trying to get a logcat though adb, but it wouldn't do it when i had the phone hooked up to the computer. Now I know its because the sd card was mounted.
Hi,
I have a desire S with 2.3.3 and build 1.31.720.2, few hours back I was using it with Gtalk and suddenly it was not responding, not responding as in not able to bring it back from suspended mode. Tried to restart it but get to the HTC welcome screen and then it wont respond i get the HTC jingle but screen has just a backlight no display. Havent done a factory reset till now. Any clue what might have happened yes a tried with battery out also kept without battery for 10-12mins.
It is S-ON
blimey,
I assume that the battery is fully charged? As it sounds like you have a flat battery.
If not plug phone in to charge.
Otherwise, I'd try a hard reset as your next option.
Good luck
Otherwise I'm guessing that it's still well within it's initial warranty.

I finally had to go with factory reset. Good thing is after reset phone automatically reinstalls all the apps saves me a lot of work.
Well I really don't know what might have had happened but just a day before I was trying for a temp root using gingerbreak and I achieved it after that I installed a hacked version of Google navigation from xda, which worked for me... It's just a wild guess that this might have created the issue.

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.

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....

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.

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.
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.

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 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
