Problems i have with the sensesation

1. Coming from my mytouch 4g running sense 3.0 the sensation is a bit more laggy
2. Data has random dropped out issues
3. Wifi has terrible drops in and out
4. Screen does not seem as durable as my preivous HTC devices had it for 20 hours been babying it and has a scratch
5.battery life is horrible but that is to be expected
I have owned all HTC since g2 and never have I had this many issues thinking of returning it to t-mo and getting my money back any idea's

What did you take a diamond across the screen? The thing is Gorilla Glass and it's doubtful you were babying the screen and got a scratch.

Never had those problems

Working great!
I can say after owning it for only 24 hours so far it is a blast. I haven't had any problems. There was one instance where the data stalled, but it hasn't lagged or reboot, or even heat up since I have had it on. Been running great for me!

My sensation runs great lol glad I didn't get a dud get a replacement and if that don't work maybe u just expecting something that this phone can't give you goodluck but ill send back asap if I was you

It only takes one grain of sand ( quartz ) in your pocket to scratch it. More of an unlucky thing than a failure of the gorilla glass .

None of those problems here.
Wifi calling works great.
I like Sense UI except for a few small things like accuweather db bull****
Browsing is nice and fast.
Trying to figure out how to get the stock car home to install.
My power button is too loose and will sit crooked sometimes. If I can get them to send me a replacement before receiving this one I may change it out.

I think ill take the advice and exchange I'm in a 4g area with full bars and it took like 3 mins to log onto xda. Thank u all for your comments

The data lag that you're referring to is an issue. Exchanging your phone will not resolve it. I found a fix (at least it works for the most part) that I posted in the developer section. As for the other problems you named, I'm not having any of those issues.

Got a Problem with watching divx movies... After a few minutes sound is gone ... This is my second sensation with the same problem can anyone help me?
After killing video player and start again sound works but turns off again after some time

Yo you saying that is wierd because my first sensation came from Walmart and it had every bug imaginable, got one from tmobile yesterday and its running like Bugati!!! Walmart be running some shady business tactics. $148.88 is in place for a reason. Real talk.

I thought I was the only person that had the crocked power button. Everything else is fine except the speaker rattles when playing music loud and with bass and that's pretty much and it heats up when charging and using it.

I had the exact opposite happen, I'd recommend Walmart over Tmobile. Why would you want to pay the full retail price tax instead of the Walmart price of 148.00? just sayin...

I cant play back video i take and no one here is helping me .. I habe my own thread amd have no help , im on my second one and its still doing it, can anyone here help please??

I despise walmart but I found humor in what you wrote. So you're saying that Walmart opens the devices and fudges them up, then sends them out "all whack yo"? You don't think it's more likely that it was just a bad device? The real reason why wally world can sell them so cheap is because it's bait to get you inside the store. Once inside, you're likely to do your shopping there and hence Walmart turns a profit. Most of these other retailers sell it at almost cost and make their money on screen protectors, and cases.

Htc Sensation touch screen issues have stopped for the time being.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I owned 2 sensations and both of them i returned for that same problem.
No matter how many resets or messing around with settings the screen woldnt register my touch after about a week and a half.
Im going for the mytouch 4g slide now and pray it works fine lol

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.

Touchscreen problems start when you use the phone while on charge. Go to my thread, and read a bit.

I haven't seen this at all and I use the phone while charging all the time although I don't use the stock charger,I use my Nexus One wall charger due to the sweet length on it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

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.

Cracked screen putting in the battery!

My wife was changing the battery on her sensation and didn't get it all the way in. When she was putting the back case on the pressure caused the screen to crack! I admit it is dissapointing that this happened with such little force. My theory is that without the back cover the screen has very little support... Anyways I just thought I would put that out there into the sensation knowledgebase so people hopefully can avoid this mistake. I have never seen a phone this vulnerable to changing a battery!

I thought it was pretty obvious that the back cover isn't only a cover but the actual frame that accounted for the majority of the structural integrity of the device.

I just think its a shame that you can crack the screen by changing the battery.... My wife and I have had a total of 7 different android phones and I have never seen one that was vulnerable to changing a battery! Just thought people should know to be MORE careful with this particular phone because of the design.

Yes I had dust behind my screen too, it was like a 'jet' of dust, a spray of it, starting at the left hand side and getting wider as it went about 1cm across my screen. Luckily it happened in the first week of my contract so Orange swapped it for me. I've heard HTC will sort it free of charge too though. No problems with the current one so far. But read a lot of people had a similar problem.

I have a few specks of dust under mine, guess I never checked it well enough when i changed my digitiser. I will just pop it off again sometime and clean it.

thats strange mine was on the left handside to thin at first then got wider
well got all the prices from my local shops to fix it and they went from £50 upto £100 then i remember i have instrance through my bank for such a thing as acidental damage and they only going to charge me £30 excess but lose my phone for a week on the plus side will probs just get a refurbished one as everyone in the shops i asked all said that there is no garantee it will work prooplerly again.

Sensation takes a fall...

...and lands without a scratch!
My gf dropped my phone tonight while taking a picture at dinner. Phone fell from about 1.2m, hit her leg on the way down and hit the hard tile floor screen side down with quite a bit of force.
Phone was naked and is still in perfect condition!
Whew! and Woohoo!!!

the point was to show how resilient the phone is!
at least i didnt post in android development forum, can i at least get credit for that!? lol

Mine falls 3 times, from 1,5m, 2m... even when running for bus, on brick... no scratch at all, except small scratchen on back

Mine fell once completely flat with the screen facing down. I was at a store and the crash sounded so bad that even the cashier made a bad face. The phone looked fine but seems like the vibrate motor came a bit loose.

Yeah, I think my vibrate motor became loose after a bad fall too. Now every time my phone stops vibrating, I tap the bottom back of the phone, but I might need to tighten it somehow D':

Well, mine was in the breast pocket of my suit the other day when I was shot. It took the bullet but the force still threw me backwards into a busy road where I was run over by a bus...not a scratch on me or the phone. No, wait a minute, none of that happened ; )
I will say that the screen is far less scratch resistant than my old HD2 which didn't need a screen protector, whereas this one definitely does. Corning's gorilla (Gerald) obviously had a bad day when he made the glass for my phone.
