I've recently purchased an HTC Sensation 4g and noticed that I have a hard time feeling the vibration when it is on vibrate. Most of the time, I don't even notice it at all especially if I'm walking with the phone in my pocket. I have my phone on vibrate often when going to classes and such and I find myself missing many texts and calls. Does anyone else have a problem with this? If so, any suggestions to make the vibrations more noticeable? I'm currently running a Sensation 4g on T-Mobile on stock Android version 2.3.4.
got this problem 2 im on CM7 latest also had it on ARHD
man mine goes crazy.. sitting in a quiet lecture room the lecturer hears it vibrate lol
somewhat weak here also. any suggestions? i've def. noticed the home buttons vibrate a lot weaker than that of inspire.

REALLY??? There are far more worse problems we could be facing. Enjoy what you have, and find ways to enhance it, not nit-pick the hardware.

When you're talking on the phone with someone, the phone know when your holding your phone next to your ear or not. Theres like little sensor thing to the left the speaker and when its covered up (by your ear) the phone sleeps, and when you pull the phone away to like dial a number it wakes up. I just realized that. I'm not sure if other phones have done this but I'm impressed. lol

Okay so I was having all kinds of touch screen issues,with the lock screen and in general the display wasn't recognizing swipes and was constantly opening Widgets and apps on the home screens.So I went to do a warranty exchange and took off my Tpu blue argyle case and after a reboot everything went back to normal so just thought I would post(even though this probably won't help anyone)there is a chance that it might.Please post your responses whether this helps or not and if your phone has been naked all it's life and still having problems.I usually always have my phone naked in a Nexus one pouch as I bought a bunch of them and like the protection they offer.

Thanks for contribution, but this is NOT a fix, trust me. Not for most people anyway.
Your a little to late to the dance my friend. This has been said multiple times over the past 6 weeks. Works for some and not for others. A lot of people also report that after a while, the problems come back whether the case is on or not.

Right on no biggie,that's why in my post I said this most likely wouldn't help anyone I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed a difference and if it came back,and like you said it does so thanks.I just thought it was odd that a case was causing problems,I was also having wifi problems and since I took the case off those too have been resolved so I guess I have to wait and seen if there is a direct correlation or couincidence as I didn't have any issues pre case.

The case is blocking some of the WiFi signal. I know its not much but a piece of rubber is enough to **** up a already weak signal.

No matter how many resets or messing around with settings the screen woldnt register my touch after about a week and a half.

I no longer have the problem after removing bloat ware and putting on a screen protector. Not sure which one fixed the problem. Try both!

Right on,thanks for the apology and I appreciate the info,your right it's common sense and it's just I have read of sooo many people complaining about this phone (death grip,poor wifi,touch screen issues,random reboots)and I hadn't experienced any of them until last week when I bought a case and for the last week I have had problems until today and when I took of the case off presto all MY problems disappeared.Which is odd since my wife has a similar case and has used it since launch and never had any issues.I just normally never use a case with any of my devices and haven't for a few years.

There's some things I would do if I were you just for precaution.
1. Turn "Tell HTC" off. Its a setting under "About Phone". A lot of people have reported improved touch sensitivity and speed.
2. Take your battery out and keep it out over night.
Those two things seem to be fixing the issues the most.

I encountered the laggy unlock ring problem about 2 weeks after I got the phone. It lasted about a week and then went away. I haven't had any problems for almost a month now. I've never put a case on my phone, but I did disable all HTC syncs and disabled most HTC and Tmobile apps.
Had it a few days now and I have a problem on incoming calls.
When I press answer it takes at least 3 seconds before I can hear the caller. Sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Its like a delay in activating the speaker/mic...
Tried rebooting and a custom rom (Coredroid) Still have same problems.....
Any help guys?
did you buy it from UK, carphonewarehouse? (or under e2save or mobile.co.uk)

It seems other devices with 2.3.3 are affected by this. So it cannot be a hardware problem its just a simple fault with gingerbread. So we just need to wait for an update
BTW, which deal did you buy your DS from? The _£25 a month for

By finally offering me a HTC sensation exchange. I tried to love this phone...
Came from sensation. Screen resoultion, size is amazing. But I must say color on LG g2x is way better even though mine have light leak problem. I don't mind.
I hope u get the good one. Sensation have 2 types of screen. One is good one is washed out. And I hope yours doesn't have dusts under the screen. Oh and I hope the you get the good digiziter too. Lots of sensation comes with touch screen problem. Like being unresponsive. Oh and don't break the phone digitizer. You can't fix it by local shop cause after you fix it the digitizer becomes unreponsive ffor 15 sec everytime you turn on the screen. Yes, I'm a troll. Trololololololol

Quoted for truth
1st G2X would freeze charging and reboot all the time in my pocket.
2nd G2X would freeze charging also and I'd find it black screened in my pocket every few days.
3rd G2X would reboot and have issues switching from data to wifi. It would show both but default to mobile data which has the worst signal at home.
Went through 3 batteries also.
I use my phone as a HTPC remote and alarm clock so these issues were pretty annoying. CM7 fixed most issues but there was still the APN issue. Looks like it's fixed now but oh well, the Sensation has been great thus far.
Based on what I've seen LG's QA process is utter ****.

I don't know about calling them retards, as that's a touchy word. However, ignorant and misguided, yes.
This phone is truly the future. It has so many capabilities. The S Pen may be seen as gimicky by some people, but I feel that they are just jealous or uninformed that it is more than a stylus. The big beautiful screen may seem unnecessary to some, but I guarantee that if they actually used it for a while, they would see that there are endless benefits to it. Unless you wear girl jeans or some serious nuthuggers, the Note is definitely pocketable. And if you're wearing those types of jeans, you should also be carrying a purse, which makes pocketability a non-issue. Also, using a device one handed is nice, but is it really necessary? When is a time that you should REALLY be using your phone where you can't use two hands? If your hands are full, I'm sure you can either set the stuff down to answer a call, otherwise I'm sure that text or email can wait.
People complaining about the pentile display are just stupid. Yes, on lower resolution devices, it was annoying. I could clearly see the pixels on my Cappy, but I dealt with it because it really isn't that bad. However, on the Note, the resolution is so good that from a normal using distance, you really can't see the pixels. Anybody who thinks this statement is ridiculous, go play with the thing and see for yourself before bashing pentile.
Also, for those who are self-conscious about holding the Note up to their head for a call...really? People are more likely gawking at how awesome of a phone you have, and curious as to what it is, not judging you for using such a large device. And since when does what a stranger thinks about you matter so much to people? You're likely to never talk to them, and I'm sure if you did, the Note would be a great conversation starter, rather than a point for them to criticize you on.
