Try it at own risk, I am not responsible for any problems. It worked for me
This is my second sensation with the same issue. I got my second sensation approximately 6 days ago, after my first sensation developed the lock screen issues. Well today I started to experience the same lock screen issues that plagued my first sensation. Well I did a little checking around and I think I might have found a solution to the problem. I have an app installed called mybackup pro. I have been using this app for a while and it has come in real handy in restoring my phone. There is a free version available in the market. I used the paid version. I opened mybackup pro, and I just like to say that I DON'T HAVE anything to do with the app in regards to any monetary gain, basically I just use the app. I opened the ap, i clicked on cancel for the password, clicked on back up, data, local (/mnt/sdcard) check all, and let it back up all the settings. Well I went into my settings/applications/manageapplications/all. i then clicked on the first htc sense tab and cleared the data. You will be prompted with something to the pop up stating that all the applications data will be permanently deleted. I clicked ok and then clicked on the second htc sense tab and did the same thing. You will notice that all your widgets and everything will be deleted from your phone. I rebooted my phone and then opened mybackup pro and clicked on restore, data, local (/mnt/sdcard), data and the most resent date, I ONLY CHECKED MARKED SYSTEM SETTINGS, ANDROID HOME, AND CLICKED ON OK. Let it do its thing and when it is finished it will ask you to reboot your phone. Your phone should be extremely close to the way you had it before (widget wise). And in my case my lock screen is working again. I hope this helps anyone else. Again, It worked for me.
Holy wall of text batman

Please update this thread periodically even if your method doesn't work.
Did this allow sense to operate more smoothly on your device?
I don't even understand what the issue was meant to be in the first place!!
Sorry for the long entry but i was trying to be as specific as i possibly could for everyone, and yes my lock screen responds perfectly.
This post was meant for anyone experiencing lockscreen unresponsiveness on their phones.

I already tried clearing the data from both Sense applications and then rebooted my phone. I didn't make a back up of everything so Sense was back to the way it came from the factory. Long story short. It didn't work for me. I still had the lock screen issue.

also another trick to faulty lockscreen found on another post, when the phone lay flat on table lock seems to be trouble to unlock unless u pick the phone up in ur hands...but if u have it laying on table flat and grab left side of lock and drag it to the left and the up it works everytime for me...seems the left part of the lockscreen is always ok lol (something to do with phone being grounded)
Ok, the only difference is that I restored my settings using mybackup pro. Could that have been the difference.

I think the way the app and ring move together is what causes the lock issue. I think its just the physics of the ring/app moving together causing the issue. Thats my guess. Other than the lockscreen buggy I have no touch screen issues. YOU?
Wifi problem and as of today the lock screen issue started. He lockscreen issue has been resolved.

Yup, I think I agree with that. There are some issues that just don't make any sense though. Why does it become responsive after touching the ring two to three times. It will stay responsive like it should until you turn the display off. I just can't wrap my finger around it.
Could it be something with sense?

Probably is. I seriously don't know why everyone praises HTC. They are going in the wrong direction with Sense. Instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive with SENSELESS eye candy. HTC needs to take a page out of Samsung's book in my opinion. There making there UI (Touch Wiz) less intrusive but still keeping the features that make Android better.
Sorry to say but this 3D eye candy isn't making anything better and it's quite obvious HTC half assed Sense 3.0.

Are you charging this via the stock charger, or via USB pc? If using a wall charger is the outlet grounded or the old two prong style outlet? I had this issue when using the stock charger in an ungrounded outlet when I was at a friends house for the week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes i am using the stock charger
I don't know if this works for you guys .. but I had that lockscreen issue as well. I noticed that when I play with my wifes phone its perfectly smooth and unlocks with a single swipe. And she can unlock mine easily and never been a problem.The only thing difference is that she didn't take off that screen protector. I have oily skin type so I guess it must be my finger getting sticky. Went to tmobile and got a screen protector and it solves all the problem. Sounds silly but it worked for me and I haven't had a single lockscreen issue in four days as opposed to 4 out of five times before. Hope this helps ..

So Im just about to pickup the Infuse because my buddy is gonna sell it to me pretty cheap. He said that every now and then his phone when pressing on an app will not open the app but instead vibrate intermittently and pretty much need to be reset by taking out the battery. Is this a common issue with this phone and if so is there any fix for it (software updates, rooting, etc..) any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.- Im pretty sure I had this problem when I had the Captivate (3 months) until I got the Inspire...
i dont think you will know till you get it, it may just need to be reflashed and what not.
It's totally stock and he said that he's restored it once b4. I'm more looking for if others have had this issue.

If you use GPS, try it first to make sure it is locking and tracking accurately.
Yeah Ik the Captivate had some HORRID gps... My buddy told me that the Infuse was pretty decent and seemed to track ok...is this still an issue?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda premium
definitely not a common issue with this phone... hence, the reason he is selling it.
the intermittent vibrations indicate that the app he is trying to open is force closing - or that something else in the background is force closing.
however, this should not freeze up the phone to the point of needing to pull the battery.
Any thoughts on a cause or solution or what might cause it if it happens w/no apps added?
Idk if it'll happen with no added apps just talking in hypotheticals now
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda premium
i have no clue. it could be any number of things.
you said your friend "restored" the phone once, so maybe he messed up flashing his previous rom, or maybe he messed something up going back to stock.
i wouldn't buy the phone - as i said, this isn't a common issue, and i'm not sure how you'd figure out exactly what the issue is in your situation.
just find a brand new infuse for cheap (i guess they are $50 at target sometimes), especially with the sgsII coming out soon - i'd imagine you can find a pretty good deal if you look hard enough.
He has never rooted done anything to it... Totally stock

Try asking him for a 3 day trial run, then install any custom ROM n see if the issue comes up. If yes, restore stock n give it back to him. If it doesn't u have a good deal.

You said he 'restored' it. He's definitely done SOMETHING to it.
Personally, I wouldn't buy it.
Restored as in factory reset that's in the settings....that way his apps/pics/contacts are not on it...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda premium
that is some type of failure in the app...
when I have an app that does that I clear cache and data for that app, if that does not resolve the issue I uninstall and reinstall the app...
if that still doesn't fix it, I give up on that app
When its doing this... Is there an instant way to find out which app it is... He says there's no fc pop up on the screen

Discovered this by accident.
By coincidence I came to press the power on/off button quickly followed by pressing Home button and the phone took a screenshot of my screen.
It is a non rooted phone HTC Desire S, software version 2.10.401.8 with Sence 3.0, Andriod 2.3.5 ... thought I'd share it with you.
Do not know if it's a new thing, but I did not know that you could take screenshots without root?

Don't take all this mocking to heart buddy... we're all just pulling your leg. I know you feel that this us a super secret that you discovered all by yourself... but this function is stock on HTC sense since version 3.0..... Sometimes its better to just accept such foot-in-mouth situations graciously rather than make unsuccessful attempts at justifying your inaccurate statement. We're all human and allowed to make mistakes...

I don't know if the phone is supposed to do this or what, but it only does it every once in awhile.
I hit the back button or home button, and it goes to the white mytouch screen, and reloads everything. Its real annoying, and takes 15-20 seconds to start back up. Is this a legit problem? Or is this how it is supposed to be.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
Mine does that too sometime. Only when I just got done using a cpu intensive app though usually.
Are u on virtuous quatro
Not even rooted. All stock. It just did it.. lol. It goes back to the mytouch screen for about five seconds then opens the homepage for about ten seconds and says "loading".
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
I hear what you are saying with an "cpu intensive" app, but this is a dual core phone!! I had my g2 overclocked to 1.2ghz, and it never did that.. surely there is a problem with this phone.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
The problem is the phone dont have enough RAM to keep home in the memory, being dual core has nothing to do with it, HTC is still setting some memory options too aggresive so home gets killed out for all the other apps to run. All this is things that can be changed with a little scripting and some build.prop edits

That makes a little more sense. I mean, the cpu in these phones should never be overloaded. The first thing I noticed when I got my phone was that, and wondered why it did it. Surely in testing they had to have seen it, then that leads to the question, why release an unfinished product? They spit these phones out like nothing, with what seems little to no testing. Pretty pathetic, for the people who spend hundreds of dollars on these little devices expecting a superior product. Maybe that's why they are handing them out like candy to all of us g2 owners.

I'd say, root the phone and load up the MIUI port on your phone, it's the most stable rom for now, every other rom i tried, I keep getting these reboots and they get annoying. However, i'm still waiting for virtuous team to roll out a steady and stable rom for this phone
then your on the newest radio...from the latest OTA update.....thats not stable with most Roms/kernels flash this radio http://a.22aaf3.com/doubleshot/radio/10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07/PG59IMG.zip

Factory reset....most likely your kernel wasn't installed properly
I don't think a factory reset re-installs the kernel does it?
I thought it just wipes all the data?

Awwww. I just had a similar experience. I dropped mine down a service elevator shaft... Don't ask. I still don't know how it happened. So far so good on the ROM. I'll tinker more in the morning.
Hi, not is just me but screenshot not working, power+home.
When doing the picture, the keyboard does not show smile icon etc, just dark keyboard. That's all I found so far
LOL I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be the first to try this out. XD

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Yeah, it's a good thing I always keep rice in the house in easy reach. But the phone is fine except that neither camera works. Pretty annoying seeing as the camera is so awesome on the HOS.
Will be definitely trying this, I was wondering, you think this might help my losing signal issues, getting the X all the time it's driving me nuts lol. I am with Cincinnati Bell but i think they work through T-mobile. Anyway thanks for this bud much appreciated.
ROM looks great man, downloading now and will flash tomorrow. Hope I don't have the WiFi issue anymore, reaaally wanna use this
I'm having the same gps problem I have with Viper; when you go to a site thru Chrome that desires location access, gps never turns on! It turns on for Maps and other things when you test it, but not through Chrome. Browser works tho, strangely...

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.
