Nope. Doesn't have a cellist problem... Where did you here that from?
However, I am affected by the WiFi issues though.... I found it is A LOT worse with my leather case... I really really strggle to pick up a signal with the case on..
There are some fixes floating around the forum, but not to sure of their effect.

No problems here with phone signal
Yeah, I have a rooted phone runnig Hyperion ROM - much much better than a stock phone.
Boot to the bootloader to check if its S-Off. (Power off. Then press volume down and power button. It will tell you whether it is S-ON or S-Off)
Youcan easily unlock yourself via HTc dev or alpharevx
Hope I helped

So I have something funky going on. When someone calls me my phone rings. Do you think its defective? Should I return it? Also my power button is crooked and slants over to one side. Its a moving part and moving parts shouldn't do this right? I mean buttons shouldn't have any play right?? :-D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Hahahahha

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone
Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect.

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.
I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!
I dont know how this happen... Now every time i hold my phone by the bottom right hand corner or tap the search button my phone creeks like its not in place i goes a slight bit down... I dont know if its cause of the heat sometimes this phone puts out or if its the back housing... Could it be both can anyone help

Mine is same thing I saw a thread before suggested to put a post-it note between the phone and back case. It helps a little, but it's not a permanent solution.

I honestly think its a combinstion of the way it opens and the heat warping the case

It's because it's a case full stop - things always get loose after a while. Not a lot you can do about it tbh. Doesn't bother me
Can this issue be fixed?

take the back cover and sqeeze it in a little on both sides top and bottom not to hard though
That's what happen when you open and close the back cover too much. The back cover is made for one purpose only. To insert your sim card, SD card and battery. Once its insert, it should stay insert and no need to access the back cover anymore, unless if really required such as your phone hang which need to take out the battery. Others than that, you should not open the back cover. If you continue too much open and close the cover, of cause eventually, wear and tear will happen!! >.<

You can always contact HTC and explain what is happening and request that they send you a new back cover. many people on here (including myself ) have done this..

Just call HTC and tell them the problem they will send u a replacement back cover for free but u need to return the defective one or else they will charge u for the cost of the back cover. It also happen to my phone and I did call them and they sent me a replacement back cover now I don't have that creaking noise or whatsoever. I've been using it for a month now. Try calling and take advantage of ur warranty instead of doing a quick fix that someday the problem will come back.

From what I've heard:

-A Larger battery can help this from happening.
Mine comes and goes but its not doing it as of right now so im good for now if it happens again ill either try the post it or the little bit of bending its not a big deal

Replace the battery cover, which is the entire back. It might be that the "button" isn't making contact properly.
Remove the entire back cover, and where the "button" should be, press down on it with your finger.
Do a battery pull and then try it.
I don't think it's anything to do with the phone, it was doing the same thing on mine. I had to pull the battery numerous times a day.
Until I flashed a rom with a stock kernel, and now it's fine again!

First off, what chris is trying to say is, that when in Recovery menu, you can use the capacitive buttons infront of the phone to move down and up and also select items in recovery menu. The search button can be used to select items that you would select with the power button.
Ugh..nightmares of the problems I had with my n1's
the phone is gone... thank youu everyone for your advice. when the power button stopped working first thing i did was take the case off and try with my hand still to no avail. so back to tmo it went
Hello im Andy from Austria
I got this phone now since 1 month and its my first
android phone. But i have to say that this is not the phone i expected... It all started when i got the first deep sleep on FIRST day. I thought it would go away after some time but it didnt stop. Then i read this things about flashing etc. I tried flashing many firmwares, custom ROMS and kernels... Nothing helped against the deep sleep.But this is not the only Bug the phone has. Sometimes when i want to call someone i cant hear anything. I have to call like 3-4 times to get it work (very annoying). Sometimes i cant do anything (freeze) , 3g doesnt work , cant boot without putting battery out and in again and even more things. No wonder why the phone got out of stores. Currently im on NeoRom 1.0 . But i read some posts where people got their phone dead randomly, and so i want to revert to default config like i got it from shop. The problem is my binary counter is currently on 4... Is there any method to get it to zero without paying? And another problem is maybe because i have removed simlock from it so i think warranty is gone anyway...
Maybe i try to completly reset the phone and then sell it to someome to get some other phone...
We also dont have any CM and i wonder about this because many unknown phones do have CM... Like Galaxy Y or etc...
It would be better to get some GS2 or GS3.
At least there are no deep sleep issues.
Greetings from Austria,
Birki

First of all:
Deep sleep is not an issue! It's a good thing, it's the state when your CPU rests and save your battery. The problem you mentioned is called "sleep of death" (when device becomes unresponsive after screen off)
You can reset your counter with USB-jig (if you have Odin protocol v. 2, if you have 2.1 it's a way more complicated))
It sounds stupid.....but did you change the WiFi sleep policy to never ?

Hello guys ..I m going through auto touches many a time..
Firstly I used to think that I m the only one who is going with this problem .But,in recent time many of my friends using Explorer had reported me the same ..
What it actually happen..
The screen gets tabbed automatically.Although,you won't touch any where ..
Examples:The screen gets zoom in/zoom out when your on browsering something
If u are on fb app,it likes the automatically without you hitting the like button
& many other time
& if u wanna get to it normal ,just press the power button on/off
It becomes normal
If u feel its a Rom bug,then it happened with almost all Rom based on gb/cm9/cm9.1
No help from service center guys too..
Can anyone please help me out
Thanks!:thumbup:

I had this issue too .... (Changed my Pico) .. it was happening only while charging or when the mobile data was on. I had searched a lot... It's not only Pico. Other HTC phones have this issue too. It's device specific.. no ROM change gonna help.. happened to me on stock.. thought root and change ROM will help solve it.. rooted, changed so many ROMs. I found no solution except lock/unlock the phone.. one day got a good deal and sold my Pico.. bought another one.. this one has updated radio (1.80.18.80) and hboot version (1.07.0000).. this one doesn't have this problem.. using from about a month and half.. nothing like that happened and not gonna happen..
