Hey guys!! So as you might be able to tell, or can already tell, I'm a noob!! I've had my HTC Sensation 4G since September with everything in stock as I received it when I bought it. I'm completely new to Android so I don't really understand the rooting, flashing business.
But my question is about the HTC Sense. Right now, I'm on my 3rd replacement device from T-Mobile. I started having HTC Sense as it would keep freezing and restarting. I even did a factory reset and still after that I had the issue. So T-Mobile sent me a replacement, and I had same issue with that so I got a replacement for that which is what I'm using right now. And with no surprise, the HTC Sense issue started again. It's not as frequent, but it happened a few times today. So at that moment, I just turned the phone off and turned it back on after 20 minutes and since then no issues.
My question is, is there any fix to this HTC Sense issue?? I mean I'm sure it'll come back, but it's just sooooo annoying!
Root and flash android revolution man.

hey my wife just got this phone; it's a real good phone. it flies with opening and closing apps. there is one problem tho....it does random reboots for some reason. have any one else had this issue? i'm almost considering exchanging it for a new one, but it may have the same results. anyone else relate?
I got a couple randome reboots. I am using ADW launcher so im trying to blame that. Im just hoping that once these devices are rootable new software will make a big difference.
I'm running everything stock , no other launchers and I've had the same issues, not sure what's causing it though but people like steffan definitely aren't going to help with their unnecessary and rude posts. On the other hand I've sent a few bug reports related to this issue and hope that HTC addresses them if not once the bootloader is unlocked we should be able to address it then.

Hell no I won't help in this thread because this same exact thing is being discussed elsewhere and this new thread is starting from square one with absolutely nothing relevent or pertinent in finding a solution of dissecting the problem to its root cause, so no I won't help but continue to flame/bash/troll new threads like these...
Oh yeah my name is spelled Stefan

Not to get in a flame war with you as that would be counter productive, but instead of posting 2 unnecessary posts now it would have been more helpful to have linked him to this thread you mention instead of treating him the way you did.

I agree there is absolutely no reason to react that way to the OP. If you don't like his thread then DON'T RESPOND TO HIM. It's really that simple. When people makes posts that I don't think they should have, I simply say nothing and let the thread die.
Now back on topic: OP I have not had a random reboot at all yet. Thus far my phones have been perfect from a stability standpoint (I've had 3 different ones so far). In case you're wondering, I had 3 different ones because I was offered better deals at different places.
Already 11 days since bought this babe..nope, no reboot problem so far. A little hot 40++C, but normal i think since its never reach 50C.
Really another threat?
Link please?

Same issue here I bought my HTC Sensation when it launch on the bell network July 5, 2011. The first one (and yes I said first one) kept randomly shutting down the day I got it keeps restarting and says and I quote " This phone has just recovered from an abnormal reset. Would you like to tell HTC about it? " Now this was happening like 3-4 times a day so I took the unit back and got a new one fresh out the box and...you know where I'm going with this...same issue so how can I fix this problem? Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or flash the unit?
I had that problem . some apps kill the system .
one of the apps i noticed that did this was Task Killers
My phone rebooted once when I was browsing the forums, but that's it. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Mine randomly reboots. Seems to happen mostly when I'm listening to music. Or maybe thats when I notice it.
I was thinking of sending it back but I wonder if my sd card had something to do with this issue. I did not reformat it when I took it out of my blackberry.
The very first day I got my sensation it rebooted itself twice, since that it never do it again, and I hope it will not.

I had this issue with my first phone, I called HTC and they just told me to return it for a new one and I did. No problems now.
Quick question.. I know most of us are being plagued by the annoying touch screen issues.. so my question is:
Users that are using root/custom firmware.. are you still experiencing these issues? This will be the deciding factor in whether or not I root this phone seeing as there's not any release dates for any software updates.
I bought the S4G on July 9th. For the first week or so, I had a problem with the touchscreen where dragging the unlock ring up would rather bring an icon up. It would take 3-4 tries before the phone would really pull up the unlock ring.
After the first week, the problem went away for me. I have been S-OFF since the first of August with perm root and the problem still hasn't come back. Not sure if this is the same issue as you, but the problem seemed to fix itself.
What exactly is S-OFF? And what does it do for you?

My phone used to that at one point and it drove me crazy! Since then I did the whole rooting thing, flashed Civic's back2basic rom and I've haven't had any problems since. It's running super smooth. Did two other sensations with no problems, lag or reboots yet

Not sure if my problem is the same. On my Sensation, when my screen is turned on, it's not responsive in all places for the first 6 to 7 seconds. After 10 secs or so, it's working flawlessly. It's especially annoying when answerring or cancelling a phone call.
Do you think rooting and S-off would help this issue? I'm now on OTA 2.3.4
S-OFF, ROOT, custom rom etc. does NOT fix touch screen issue. That's what you were asking about, right?
OK, thanks for clearing that out.
The thing is, that I only have this issue after getting the phone back from repair (shattered glass). The repair guy couldn't find anything that could cause this issue. But due to the repair this touch screen vulnerability was triggered. Can't go back to HTC now, due to the repair. So I'm stuck for now.

If you haven't come across it yet, give this thread a read.
It does not. I used the Touchscreen Booster from the market. Works fine.
Rooting helps you to control your phone. You can try different roms and see if the problem goes.
Rooting doesn't but flashing a 2.3.4 ROM will solve ur issues more than likely. I'm using LeeDroid and its great no lag no dead spots.

Hi,
I've been having a lot of problems with my sensation, the most annoying at the moment is the fact that my alarm doesn't always bother going off in the mornings. I'm fairly sure it has to be a software bug, last time the phone went back to HTC for repair they replaced the motherboard and its still doing it every now and again.
Since nobody else I know of with a sensation is having the same problem i got to wondering if it is related to the Vodafone rom on my phone. My question is: Is there a way of removing the vodafone software from my phone and making it behave like a stock UK/European Sensation such that it will still receive any OTA updates etc directly from HTC?
Thanks
As you are still looking for the OTA updates, I recommend a factory data reset before you do anything esla
From stock then run the phone with no extra downloads for a week or so and If the alarm is OK, then sadly the problem was/is what you have downloaded/settings you have changed

Sent from my Sensation XE
Hi,
since some time after I updated my sensation XE to ICS (stock) I have a problem with the launcher. Nearly every time I leave an app and sometimes even right after unlocking I get a white screen with only a green HTC logo, then after some time I see a "loading" note until I can finally use my phone. Sometimes the launcher restarts again right after it just came up.
I have looked for solutions and it was suggested to turn of fastboot and stop forcing hardware acceleration, which I did. But the issue still persists. I have quite a lot of apps installed, but I don't run many simultaneously. My first bet was juice defender ultimate, but deactivating that did not help.
The task-manager shows only the following active apps: Business Calendar, Contacts and Google services framework. The battery life is also pretty good so I don't think it's a problem with too many parallel tasks.
The phone is a European sensation XE running stock android 4.0.3, 3.32.401.105.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Just use a third party launcher and disable htc sense, I had the same issue on an asian "hk" sensation xe i got from amazon and use on tmobile us. It runs a lot better now and scores 2900 on quadrant vs 2370 with sense.
as far as I am aware that would require me to root my phone. Does anyone have a solution that would not require that?
Mine does it all the time, that's why I hardly ever use sense anymore. I run sslauncher and it never happens now. I'm sure it's a bug in sense.....

I had the same problem.
Go to:
Settings/Develop Option/Apps/Background Process Limit/Standard Limit.
That fixed the problem for me.

The issue seems more like a software problem to me...
My wife haqd the same issue on her O2 supplied XE, a quick unlock and flash of ARHD and it is all fixed.
This does not help you though if you don't want to root

I have just contacted htc in the matter, let's see what they say. If they can't fix it then I will probably root and switch to trebuchet launcher.

Update:
I shut down the phone and removed the battery and the micro sd card, since I wanted to try something. When I inserted the sd card and started it again my Problem was gone. I changed nothing on the sd card.
I've had this phone for about 3 months and never had a problem with it but out of nowhere it stopped vibrating and I have no clue why. All my vibration settings are on but still no vibrate for anything at all. I've been running smokins Sick Sense Rom and never had any problems till now. Plus I just tried installing cm10(switched back to sense) did a full wipe but still no vibrate altho when in cm10 I didn't check the settings for vibration. It's seems like its a hardware issue but that makes no sense because I have not dropped the phone once. Any help would be appreciated.

Return to stock and if it still doesn't vibrate return it to the carrier/store where you got it.

Restore back to stock ruu and see if you experience same problem. If you do then call att for replacement and make sure you re-lock the bootloader and have stock ruu before u return .
