[Q] Does the Sensation blow, or do I have a Faulty device?

I have had my sensation for a couple of weeks now and it is proving to be one of the worst HTC phones I have ever owned. I am beginning to become concerned that I may have a faulty device, as my complaints about the phone are really starting to mount up. I will list a few off the top of my head and you can tell me if this is normal behavior:
Unlocking the device: Sliding the ring up to unlock the device can take as many as 3 or 4 attempts at times no matter how deliberately I attempt to do so.
Bluetooth Audio: If I connect to my car for both phone and music, then disconnect, then connect to my bluetooth headphones, then disconnect, then get back in my car, the phone bluetooth will connect, but not the media. This is solved by long clicking the bluetooth connection under bluetooth settings and going into options,then unchecking and rechecking the media box. (annoying and not a problem on either my nexus 1 or MT4G)
The phone is slow: Like way slower than either my nexus 1 or MT4g
Restarting the phone: When I long press the power button and select restart, the phone will turn off... but not back on without several presses of the power button.
Data Connection: I have, on more than one occasion lost my data connection in a 4g area to the point where all data is lost. No 2g, no g... nothing. No icon in the status bar. I have tried entering and exiting airplane mode to restart it, among other things. Reboot seems to be the only solution.
Call Waiting: The phone has, on more than one occasion, refused to let me switch calls when I receive call waiting.
Force Closes: I have received more force closes on this device with a variety of applications, than I have on any other android device that I have owned. To the point where I did a factory reset of the device to see if that would clear things up. It did not.
Line through non HTC Widgets: I get seemingly random horizontal static lines through random non htc widgets sporadically. Sometimes a reboot rectifies this, other times the widget needs to be removed ad readded.
That seems to be all I can think of at the moment. I eagerly await your responses.

Yeah, I'd get it exchanged. That's not even close to a satisfactory experience.

I also get a few unlock attempts.
The data network its extremely slow like 3g our less while on 4g outside with full strength in signal bars.
I also don't get a restart when selecting that and I just sts off completely and have to hold the power button to turn it on.
do you hear a noise if you press in the screen with a bit of effort? I don't know if its just my phone our a common sound.

I've had the Sensation since June 8th, I've had the static lines in the Widgets but none of the other problems. My lock rings works every time. I also came from the Nexus One so I never had Sense, I think it's a bit laggy but my apps open up just as fast as the N1. My phone fully shuts down and restarts everytime (I do it daily, it's a carryover from the BB world lol) Bluetooth works great too.
If I were you, I would get a new phone, something doesn't seem right with yours.

I have been keeping silent about it for the most part but I'm in the same boat with you on a few of those things. I don't use bt so I dunno about that nor do I have the line through the widgets issue. But my touchscreen sucks balls. It takes forever to unlock the phone, it just doesn't register my swipe up no matter how slow I go. Also in general my touchscreen is just weak. Tons of my swipes are registered as taps so apps or links are opened. I also have the data stall issue. I have read through the supposed fixes for people with similar problems but nothing fixes my issue. The lockscreen issue started a week after getting it, and happened until I did a factory reset. It then worked for another week before the issues showed up again. My sister has a sensation too and has the same touchscreen issues as me. I have been holding off, hoping htc would send out a big fix update, but damn it is depressing. I have already mentally prepared myself for giving this to my wife in september and using her upgrade to pick up a Hercules. I really hope some updates change my mind.

Can someone please let me know if you can hear the plastic parts of the phone rub when you press down in the screen? I have noticed if I press around the screen with about the same force of scaring snapping your fingers or less the phone makes a sound of what I think is the source between the screen and the edge frame of the phone. I first thought that was the reason why the unlock took a few tries.
either that or I think maybe a small air pocket caused by a spec if dirt was why the unlock want working since its almost right on it. It also works better if I grab the left side of the ring then the right that has that tiny pocket. But still I noticed the huge end call and call button I have to press on it a few times to get a response. I press it far left but near the air bubble that's why I didn't think that would cause any touch problems with the unlock ring.

I am having the lock screen issue , my 3rd phone, all three did it after a few days to a week. I do have the Bluetooth problem as well. I have a jawbone jambox and i can only get media to connect after initial pair. I always unpaired and paired again to fix the problem, i'll try your method next. I think the reason you cant change calls has to do with the touchscreen issues. I am waiting also for an update. The really really messed up thing is that HTC says they know nothing of theses issues, so a fix could be a long way off.

Thanks for the responses. I have had the phone for about 3 weeks and have been holding my tongue. The OP is a copy of the e-mail I sent to HTC that I have yet to get a response to. I will post HTC's response as soon as I get it. I was happy to see that some other countries received an update that fixed a few things, but really I just want to see if CM7 can rectify most if not all of these issues. I have been playing the waiting game, but might just throw in the towel and return it before my 30 days are up (CA).

While I do notice most things are slower than on my Nexus One, some things are just incredibly faster. Theres no denying that web browsing on the Sensation is some of the best I've ever used.

well, first full reset and retest. if it persists, then ya exchange it. my lock ring is so smooth i pull it up and play with it while bored. spin circles around the sun (weather lock screen) then either let go to unlock or put it back at the bottom. can do the same with all 4 app shortcuts. one flick up with 3/4 of the ring revealed and its unlocked.
edit: phone is 3 weeks old, multiple widgets and full of apps, stock launcher.

Random WiFi Drops

Hey guys.
I've recently bought my HTC Sensation (a good month ago now) and so far, its a brilliant phone.
However, there is one issue thats bugging me. The WiFi on my Sensation seems to keep dropping when the screen is turned off. The only workaround is to keep the device awake.
I've set the WiFi Sleep Mode to Never, still doesn't change it.
I don't think any of my programs are doing it. I used to have connection checker installed but I've since deleted it.
I'm sure this might be the fact that the phones from Asia, and would be running Asian Radio versions of the Radio drivers? I'm probably wrong but I would love someone to tell me what the hells going on!
Thanks in advance!

Having similar problems but with my HTC Dream. It's usually after it's on sleep mode for a while. Temporary fix: Uncheck wifi then turn it back on again... I'm too trying to look for a permanent fix. It's starting to get very irritating.

When your screen is off for a while, do you still receive emails/updates etc?

If you're talking to me... then no i don't receive emails.. Although it seems that the problem stopped after I switched the ROM from cyanogen to SuperE!

To the one with the sensation...is the phone on its back with the screen off? I put my phone down quick to do something and watched my wifi go away completely...its blocking the signal on its back.try putting it face down and see if that helps

Also make sure that best WiFi performance is checked, and set the sleep policy to never in settings/wireless/advanced. It will eat more battery, but it should help a little if this isn't already done.

Potential WiFi issue?

I'm here writing on tapatalk and browsing and have noticed that all of a sudden the WiFi will go off, drop out and restart. I hadn't ticked the : best WiFi performance, which drains more battery, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I also have he app: power manager and I'm not sure if there is an app doing that to the WiFi.
Anyone else had this issue?
Edit: definitely having this issue. Best performance or going manual on the WiFi Settings seems to have settled it. Hope HTC comes up with an update for it...
sent using HTC1S

I also tested the static rather than the automatic solution for the WiFi, and it tend to drop equally. Only way it doesn't drop seems to be if I use the: use best quality WiFi, which reduces the battery life tremendously!
By the way, this is not happening during te phone's sleep mode, but during normal operation.
sent using HTC1S

Not sure if it's related, but there are definite wifi issues with the one s. Mines completely stock, no power managers etc. It locks onto wifi points that that have always worked well for me (work, home etc.) with my desire and never disconnects. It seems in this mode it uses much more power and even gets a little warm. I can have left home for 4 hours and it still thinks it's connected and then has no data connection. The only solution seems to be to disable and enable wifi again. It doesn't seem to be able to roam from ap to ap without getting stuck on one of them

I think this may be an issue with Android 4.0. I have a Transformer Prime tablet running 4.0 and I get the same thing. WiFi drops out for a few seconds and quickly reconnects. I have noticed that it only happens in the first 12-24 hours after my tablet has been restarted though. After about a day running solid it doesn't happen.

I had a Nexus Running 4.2 and the wifi was great so probably not Android , more radi problem as discussed on other threads

I'm getting mine replaced tomorrow just to see if that will improve things. Unfortunately I was not able to make sure that the handset's serial number

Looks like first impressions that its stable but having said that,y sim card is still on the other handset. I don't know if that has anything to do with it...

Mine is opposite where I have no issues while using the phone, however, when phone goes into sleep mode, it loses wifi. Comes on auto when using phone again.

Exactly the same symptoms on mine (stock Orange UK). Hopefully we will get a fix soon, as its a pain.

Update.
The WiFi signal on this current phone seems to be spot on. No signal drop with any case on or covering the top of the phone. Signsl doesn't go to sleep along with the phone being on idle and overall really pleased.
I must also add that this new phone seems to have a remarkably better battery life as well. With my usuall use of web, tapatalk, a couple of photos a bit of WiFi, continuous account sync etc, on auto brightness, im at 13:20 and I have the phone on 83% battery when on the previous handset with the WiFi problem I was eating up the battery really fast. Usually I was at about 60% by now

I had exactly the same issue. Since I have changed the "option" / "wifi"/ "settings" / "extended" / "keep WLAN active in standby" = "never" (I don't know the correct terms in English), I haven't seen that problem anymore. I seems that the issue is standby-related, WLAN rescan won't start properly when waking up.
However, I don't think that this issue is related to the issue mentioned by the TO - it's the opposite.

I just noticed this issue when I left for work this morning. I have "Best Wi-Fi Performance" enabled, which was mentioned as a fix in previous posts, but it does not appear to be helping. When I leave for work and get into my office about 5 miles away it still shows as being connected to my home wifi network, when I try to use data like going to a webpage etc, it says "Data Connection Lost". Its like the phone doesnt know how to disconnect from a wifi network. I have the latest update to 1.84.531.2 710RD and still seems to have this issue. Have there been any updates from HTC or T-MO on this issue?

To follow up on this issue, I have called HTC and T-Mobile to find out if it is a known issue. They both told me that they were aware of the issue and that HTC is asking the carriers to report the issues customers are having back up to them. HTC said they are working on a software update that resolves the Wi-Fi disconnect issue. The T-Mobile rep said to have anyone else who is experiencing the issue to either call T-Mobile if they are your carrier so they can report the issue, or call HTC directly.

Been having this issue too. Called up T-Mobile and since I'm still within the 20 day window for return, they are sending me a new device. The girl that helped me didn't even want to talk about the issue or if it's been happening a lot. She didn't even ask if I had tried any trouble shooting. Just sent out new phone with free standard shipping. Works for me I guess, just hope it's hardware related, though I suspect it's software. We will see.

I did a factory reset on my phone and have been having much better luck with the WiFi issue. I think its definitely software related.

Not here. Factory reset was first thing I did (and always do) after applying the latest update.

I just noticed that on my phone as well. If I set it to beat performance the WiFi signal goes crazy. So I uncheck it and it works "normal"

I also disabled best wifi performance and have not noticed the issue since. I dont know if its because of the factory reset or because I have disabled best performance. I have also changed "keep wifi on during sleep" to never and that may have contributed to fixing the problem. I really have no way to tell, and now that it appears to be working correctly, I dont want to mess with it

Problems with the June OTA update

I haven't seen a thread for this yet so here goes.
My 4g connection is completely unreliable if I'm using GPS or bluetooth. This didn't happen with 1.53.x
I've found that since updating if I'm using either for more than a few minutes that my data connection will go 2g or disappear entirely until I stop using gps or bluetooth.
Anyone else seen this>

Me 2 but with different problem
My HTC One S got an upgrade while I'm at school. Then I press update...........
While update in progress. I'm horrified to see the page where you can do wiping roms.............................
I pressed reboot system............
After it rebooted the Wifi is error
Sad.......................................................................

I also just upgraded and now I have the wifi error. I'm sure HTC has been notified of this bug and are working on it, but it seed like a lot of people before me got the upgrade a couple days ago and didn't run into such problems... I'm in Houston, Texas if that helps any

That's not the exact same problem if you're losing wifi. So far, only mobile data is dying for me.
It looks like Tmo or HTC fubar'd the radio with this release.

If you have WiFi problems, get WiFi fixer from the market, it will say it was unsuccessful then reboot. it should work,after, even though it said unsuccessful.

Still not okey.................

My Wifi is still completly dead. Are there any other ways?

WiFi working fine for me. Will test data tomorrow when back in coverage.

Well, I spoke too soon. My wifi is unreliable too. It seems to disconnect very frequently when the phone is sleeping even though I have 'always on' checked and have toggled it off and back on just to make sure.
thanks a lot tmo. I had a reliable radio before this update. I should have listened to that little voice telling me to wait.

Here's an exchange I just had with tmo support.
Customer Chat
%Mary G: I apologize for the inconvenience. What is the issue with the update? I can help with that.
michael harrison: I've had my phone almost two weeks and had very reliable 4G (Dallas area) and mostly reliable wifi. The only problem with wifi is that sometimes I'd get back home and it wouldn't automatically connect. I'd have to turn wifi off and back on. Except for that, the radio was solid.
Bluetooth was also reliable though the range was only about 20'
Since the update, 4G, wifi and bluetooth are very unreliable.
Mobile data drops out for no reason (I can be sitting in one location and it will completely disappear), wifi is turning off or losing the connection frequently while the phone is sleeping (I have the option to keep wifi on always turned on) and bluetooth has a range of about 4'
%Mary G: I see that our Engineering is working on this issue for the HTC One S. If you want to go back to the old version, we can do master reset for the phone.

Please select the appropriate voice prompt and your call will be forwarded to a representative for assistance. Thank you for choosing T-Mobile, we value your business!
Master freakin' reset?!

I noticed that my 4G seems to go to sleep and does no work until I for a lack of a better word "Wake up the phone"

One more for the radio-problem pile...
It appears that if I'm on Wifi and I start a GPS app (like my tracks) and drive out of wifi range, I'll never get a mobile data connection. Wifi cut off (at least, the icon disappeared) but even closing the app (and verifying that the gps icon went away) doesn't result in mobile data coming on line.
I had to go into airplane mode and back out. The I ended up with a 4g connection.

Is it just me or does the throughput speed now suck AFTER the update?
I used to get 12-14mbps down and 6-7 up, and now im getting 4.5 down, 1.5 up.

Funny you blame T-Mobile as they are NOT software developers. You need to be pointing that finger at HTC.

can't shut off the phone after update
I got my new HTC One S yesterday and the first thing I did after activating it was a manual check for updates.
I knew I should have checked the forums first but I'm an update junkie.
I guess I have been running CM7 for too long and I forgot about how bad the HTC OTA to 2.3.3 on my Inspire 4G was.
I haven't seen a post yet about not being able to turn off the phone after the update.
I press and hold the power button on the top and the Shut Down/ Airplane mode/ Restart menu comes up.
I select Shut Down and the phone does what looks like a Fast Boot restart instead of shutting down. I checked the settings and confirmed that Fast Boot is turned off.
What happens is after I select Shut Down I get the T-Mobile good buy animation and then I briefly see the previous shut down menu and then I get the T-Mobile Android rocket animation and then I'm back in the OS. No black screen, no white screen with the HTC logo and it all happens very quickly.
I tried a Restart and that does a normal full shut down and restart where I get the good buy animation and the screen goes black for a second then I get the white screen with the HTC logo then the rocket animation then the OS. All very normal looking.
Holding down the power button for about 10 seconds to force a power off does shut down the phone but it turns back on 3 seconds later with a normal looking start up.
This is a brand new phone that had the factory shipped ROM and no apps even installed. It was able to be powered off before I installed the OTA.
I tried this with the case on and off to make sure it wasn't the case putting pressure on the buttons.
This isn't a huge deal as I don't normally leave my phone off but I can't take this on an airplane as some carriers still make you turn off all electronic devices during take off and landing.
Update: I was going to take eminembdg advice and go to a Tmo store and try to get the phone replaced after work today. But after showing the nifty shutdown reboot bug to a few friends the phone now actually shuts down correctly and stays off. I guess it's like when you take your car to the mechanic because its making this funny noise and then it stops making the noise just as you pull up in front of the shop.

My data speed got slower too.

Still wifi issues

I've had wifi issues since I purchased my htc one x for AT&T in may. I have had the hone replaced and the issue was never resolved and I'm kid of fed up with it for the fact that everyone I know who has an android device other then a one x don't have these issues. Issue seems to be Interment but happens a lot actually all the time.
Basically my issue is I have wifi turned on sometimes I lose connection.i notice this due to delayed alerts at times and when I'm using the phone such as on the play store, Facebook or any app that uses the I telnet every once in a while ill get a connection loss message and have to wait for the Internet to come back, usually comes back quick but still very annoying. Another ways can tel is when the phone is in sleep mode is when it happens the most. For example ill unlock the screen at times then all of a sudden I receive all my alerts such as gmail, google talk and any other alert that never came through b c of loss of connection. I also notice a lot when I open google talk right after I unlock my screen that it says I'm offline, then after a few I see it come online and if I had any google talk messages they then come through. I also see the time stamps when this happens, like emails come in and google talk messages and they can be anywhere from like 2-15 mins delayed at times.
I have also performed various of tests when the phone is asleep and I s end myself an email or google talk message and it does not come in until I unlock the phone. FYI this is Interment does not happen all the time but happens very often.
Are you guys still having issues with wifi ? Will getting a replacement possibly resolve the issue or sis this a known issue that cannot be fixed? I love the phone but sick and tire of not receiving all my alerts in real time. This is the first android phone with this type of issue and so frustrated.

Have you checked your wifi settings to make sure it's staying connected while the phone is asleep?

Yes of course checked all bases including forums for the last couple of months. Please note as per my op even when I'm using the phone sometimes I get lost connection errors even while using the Facebook app etc like google play store and other apps. So although while asleep seems to happen the most it also happens during normal use.

This is a known issue with many HTC phones. Even if you have WiFi to never sleep, when your display turns off the WiFi goes into some sort of battery saver mode. It doesn't turn off completely so you get your alerts eventually. I have not found a working solution short of flashing a custom Rom. HTC knows about this but hasn't fixed it. They think it is working as it should...

Thanks for clarifying this for me. If you flash a rom like for example cm10 or other rooms it can resolve this issue? Funny bc if wifi is shut off on just data works good, but the whole point is to use wifi as much as possible since I only have 3gb limited. I was thinking of upgrading to a one x+ but I'm afraid it will have the same issue as the normal, one x. This makes me want to go with a different company such as Samsung etc.. Anyways thanks for your help.
