Everyone, I am starting this thread with one purpose and that is to see if others have experienced this problem. Also if so how many people have and if it is a major issue or just a freak thing that happened to me.
Ok my Sensation was running the stock ROM for the TMOUS Sensation which was the recent OTA update. This also means I had reverted back to the stock recovery too when I went back to the stock ROM well over a month ago. My Sensation was still Super CID though as far as I know. Now that should feel everyone in on the software that was on my Sensation.
Now for the problem, I was typing a text message to a friend this morning and as I was typing my message my Sensation froze up. This alone was odd as my Sensation had only federal up once before sense I purchased it back in October. Anyway I knew I had to pull the battery to reset my phone. But I was on my morning break at work and break time was over so I just put my phone in my front sweater pocket and walked the 5 minute or so walk back to where I was working on the job site. I pulled my phone out of my sweater pocket and noticed the screen was black. I pressed the power button expecting my phone to wake up but it did not. I pulled the back cover off and pulled the battery out for a full minute and reinserted it. My phone still would not turn on. Also to add my camera flash flashed once when I reinserted my battery. Anyway I repeated this process several times and still my phone did not turn on, but the flash only flashed that one time.
I got home and tried my wife's battery from her Sensation but still my phone SD not turn on. I tried my battery in her Sensation and her phone turned on fine with my battery. So I concluded my Sensation was screwed and proceeded to call T-Mobile costumer service and spend about a hour on the phone with them until they agreed to send me a replacement Sensation.
If anyone else has experienced or experiences this in the future please post here in this thread.
Edit: Thank gosh I still have my HD2 as a back up device.
Edit 2: I came across a post that lead me to a thread started by XDA Senior Member namila007. It had other XDA members that report their Sensations dieing in the same manor.
Happened to a Desire S once. Froze, remove & re-installed battery the phone did booted to the splash screen only, but not any further. Replaced complete board under warranty.
Well this does not happen to most people but you should go for a new one under your warranty but sorry I do but know how to fix the problem
Nope, but I can say, that I am did the same thing as you did. Like reverting back to stock, and still having supercid. I've done that 2 month ago? Nothing wrong with.
That sucks man. I had that happen to a vibrant i had.
sent from my Sensation on CM7 Alpha#10
Yea, this happened to me too. I was playing some xbox 360, went to check the time on my phone...Wound up a few hours later feeling like a turd and waiting for a replacement from Tmobile.
No idea what happened. The last thing it did was make a noise when I plugged it into my laptop, prompted my computer to install drivers (failed) and then mentioned that dreaded message that implies the phone is needing to be flashed by the factory. (QHSUSB_DLOAD)
If you see your computer mention QHSUSB_DLOAD, then your phone is 100% bricked.

Just wanted to say thanks for the replies to all and thanks for everyone that has viewed this thread. And just in case anyone missed it in the OP, I am currently waiting on my replacement Sensation from T-Mobile. It will not arrived until the 25th of January. Again thank goodness I still have my trusty HD2 or I would be without a phone until the 25th.
Now to the post above me, I have not even tried to connect my Sensation to my computer because it will not even power on what so ever. The charge indicator led does not even come on when you connect the charger. So I highly doubt I would even get anything at all if I connected it to my computer. But I might just plug it into my computer out f curiosity to see what does happen.

Hi,
Hey,I am really sorry to hear about your phone.
It is very rare that people report total failure like yours,so I would imagine that it is just a freak situation.
I am also glad that you are getting a replacement without any problem.
Other than that ,hope all is well with you.
I assume this is quite a common problem. I received my sensation xe just a few days before the new year it was constantly over heating down the bottom where the touch buttons are causing it to shutdown / reboot this was when doing basic tasks like browsing the web. I then had my phone completely die a couple of days ago.
I took the phone into a vodaphone store yesterday and they exchanged it with a new handset.. I haven't had any problems yet.
I was reading through the Sensation Unbricking Project thread and found the below quoted post. I thought I would add it here as it matches what happen to my original Sensation

Ha ha thanks but I have had my replacement phone for at least a month or more. I actually revived this thread because I finally found another post by another member that claims to have had their Sensation. I feel like they way my Sensation died is a pure hardware failure.
I started this thread in hopes that others that had the miss fortune of this happening to them could find this thread and know that it had happen to someonelse. Also so maybe a fair consinsus of what may be the cause, if it is just random, and some kind of idea of a percentage of devices it happens to.
I see that namila007 also started a thread about his Sensation dieing in the same way. It is a copleofother people that have posted in his thread saying that their Sensation deied in the same way. I am going to up date the OP with a link to his thread and post in his thread as well.
what to do :/ i also think its should be a hardware failure . im going to contact htc coz im still under the warranty

Interesting. I just got a brand new one and it has this same problem!!!!
I'll have to get it swapped then, shame as apart from this, there are no problems
I saw this case yesterday on a demo unit, both cameras had the problem. Had some pictures on the phone - older ones were OK, newer ones were with lines.
I had this issue happen to me this weekend. Weird green and red lines. You could even tell in the 2 pictures I took with the camera. Not as prominent as when I took the picture, but I can still see some areas of discoloration
Currently the lines are gone. I haven't installed or uninstalled any apps so I don't think it was anything to do with something that's incompatible.
Not sure if I should get it replaced or not.
I had the problem too...i took pics though and they weren't on the pics after viewing in the gallery. I did a reboot with a battery pull and it went away. Only happened to me once.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127658
I did a thread about this issue, but got no feedback on it. Any thoughts?
Here is a thread of mine with embedded videos: http://androidforums.com/2830694-post1.html
Same here. At first green lines did not show on picture, then they did. I was able to reboot the phone by Long pressing the power button and the problem went away. Not only that, but the camera looked so much better. (seemed much clearer.) I also noticed some videos streaming from the web also had green lines. Can't say its related yet.

I just noticed I had this issue today and found this thread. I tried just a shut down and then started the phone again, that did not help. I shut down, pulled the battery, put it back and started up again, problem solved.
Someone else has also made a video:
Since the issue has gone away and seems to be fine now, I'm not going through getting a replacement. If it occurs again, I'll just do a battery pull to fix it again. It seems the fix holds for some time, although I don't know how long.
I called HTC to get a ticket on file. The guy I spoke with said even an HTC employee in his work area had the same issue once. A battery pull fixed it and they have not had the issue since.
They might get back to me for more information, but today I had to give them phone number, e-mail and IMEI.
They said they're investigating.
I had the same issue with mine the day after I got it. I turned off the phone pulled battery held down volume - and power and selected factory reset. Have had no problems since then. Sorry if someone already mentioned this solution but I'm at work and didn't get to read everything every one posted just trying to help

Your "solution" goes a bit too far. There's no need to do a factory reset and lose all data/settings. Just shut down, pull the battery, put the battery back in, turn it on. Problem solved.
Just pulling the battery didn't work for me so I did the reset. Just trying to help

I just purchase mine on Sunday from Telstra store $792 outright, working fine Sunday night, then Monday morning started getting corrupted lines on Telstra News and Sports. On Monday afternoon went to use camera out on site, and camera had all green lines on screen, took 3 pics and they have the lines as well.
Tues morning take phone and whole kit back to Telstra store where I purchase less than 48hrs ago. Asking for a replacement, they advised they cannot without sending it to repair to check on water ingress !! WTF ! My new phone has not been anywhere near water. All I asked for is a replacement after parting with almost $800, now Im left to wait for Telstra to send away for 7 business days to then decide if I'm entitled to a replacement ??
It appears from all over the net the current fix is to only remove the battery and re fit . After me removing my sim card and memory card, my green lines had disappeared however the shop employee did get to see the fault.
Dam why should I have to wait ! They have $800 of my money and I don't have what I paid for !
Come on Telstra.
GASM
This happened to me. Its just software. Mine did it for a day when I first got it but then disappeared and I haven't seen it happen since.
My friend has the same problem, Except when he restarts the lines go away but they come back after 2 days or so. It's really bothering him. The other thing is he doesn't want to send it to HTC as it will take forever to get back.
Hi, all.
Here is the situation....
In the past week or so I been getting update notices for .....45.....
Message was so brief that I haven't had a chance to get all numbers..
After accepting an update phone was hanging on the exclamation mark doing absolutely nothing over night...
Of course, I have my phone S-off and rooted. Nothing else was done yet, same stock ROM with no alterations. Now the tough part. Since that attempted update battery life was awful... Needed to charge almost twice a day...
NOW!!!! Does not take the charge at all... Charger works, charging my HD2 + USB computer charger nothing works. When plugged in and I remove the battery, insert it back it gives me an amber light for 5 seconds, then goes dark. Cannot boot with power cable plugged in..... Bunch of crap...
Did anybody else ran in to the same problem? Was that update meant to kill the phones with S-OFF? Or it's just my phone crapped up or battery?
Please give me some guide... 3 week old phone and so many problems.
Thanks all!!
No problem to bump my post.
Phone doesn't charge at all
Never, really never install an ota on a rooted ROM, even if its stock. I guess you should start by reinstalling stock ROM and wipe before. The charging thing is a known bug due to recovery. An update is available which you should install. You will have to manually charge the battery with a cut charging cable. Instructions can be found in this forum.

hey ev1
yesterday i was using my sensation without problem. ate a dinner in the shopping center and after that i tried to call someone but when pressing the power button on the sensy nothing happened. then when i went to the car tried to charge the phone but no led light came on (orange charging led). I'm unable to power on the fone since then.
anyone experienced the same and was able to solve the problem without taking the phone to warranty?
i had android revolution hd latest rom. and my phone is from ebay, my best guess is that it's unlocked but not from the factory, and that voids the warranty in my country, so I'm not sure what to do.
tnx for helping in advance
remove battery for little while, place it back and try charging again
if it doesn't light up, just leave it there a little while ... 15mins? 30mins?
try and power up after. gd luck
I think it's CWM (not charging when off)
¤Violets are red,
Roses are blue,
Wait, what?
I have no idea what I'm saying,
But you lost the game¤

did something like that, charged it for whole night but no success...
if the battery is totally dead would the charging led light up? or the phone powers up?
Try plugging the phone in via usb or ac. Then try the battery pull and power up. You may need to either buy a battery charger or another battery to power up so you can get into recovery and flash a different clockwork version.
It sounds like the clockwork charging issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198585
Once you get it started make sure you have the latest recovery. You can update using Rom Manager.
well it seems its not the battery. put an evo3d battery inside which is fully charged and it still won't turn on phone into the trash i think
or you have any other ideas?
Not into the trash, back to HTC or send it to me! ;-)

I repair phones for a living and I have personally seen 4 sensations come in for this exact reason.
it seems, even mid-use, that it powers down for some reason, and just doesnt come back. It happens to rooted and non-rooted alike, and I threw my entire arsenal at these things and they dont respond again. it jsut seems to be a factory defect. One that I really hope doesnt happen to mine :[
sorry to say, but in my professional opinion, theres not a lot you can do
I seem to have the same issue.
Did a Reboot, and then no more.
Had the Charger cable in.
Now the only thing that happens when i connect to USB, is a QHSUSB_DLOAD device ( Unkown device , no driver found. )
I only had it for 1 day...
Edit: now i have to wait 2 to 5 working days for a new one. poor me.
Put a multimeter to the battery, 4,6Volt so no problem there.
I had rooted my friends Sensation and running a Android Revolution. The same thing happened to her phone I'm trying to boost the battery to see if I can get some action but, it's not looking good.
She had insurance on the phone and said she lost it, so she's getting a new one, but I'm glad to know that it might have happened anyways. I wasn't overclocking the phone, and I didn't flash a new radio (which are two things that can cause bricks right?)
Is there anything else I might try? Use it as a paperweight? lol
Edit: To clarify, the phone was working fine, and just randomly rebooted and then became completely unresponsive. My friend battery pulled as it was completely frozen, when she put the battery back in, nothing happened. No LED when charging, no booting, nothing.

Hey so did you or your friend manage to fix her phone or find the cause? I've been flashing Windows Mobile Roms before and Sensation is my first Android phone, I definitely want to flash Custom Roms on it too, but these random bricks are putting me off for now.

I work for the bestbuy group and i can tell you that if it was bought in the uk, it should be absolutely fine to send back, so long as it hasn't got water damage it would be cool to send off.
HTC decide if it's under warranty and whether or not it has liquid damage.
An engineer won't touch it (in carphone warehouse) if they're not qualified.
If your in the UK, call this number 08719090109 it's a lot quicker than going into a carphone warehouse, you'll wait 2 weeks if you go in store, 4 - 5 days if you call that number and ship it yourself.
Some carphones have fools working for them, but believe me lad, i'm no idiot.

A bad idea, the person in the shop will do an ESN check and see that the phone wasn't even bought from them, or a return, ppl try these things all the time, they don't get away with it, unless the consultant is an absolute mushroom.
My advice, just send the thing back to HTC.

Shouldn't make any difference, are you in the UK? We're they from the UK? You will have to send it back to the place where they bought it from, it's less than a year since the sensation was released so it is certainly under warranty.
Just send it back after you've tried everything, and it seems that you have.
Did you try boosting the battery? Sometimes this has an effect, although it would seem from what you've said that something a little more difficult to fix has gone wrong.
Hope you get it sorted.
PS: Don't go into a carphone and tell them that you bought it from them, because they'll check and you'll look like a div, find out where the person on ebay bought it from and send it back to there with the advice sheet / receipt you got from ebay to HTC or at least call / email to see what's required to send it back.
Good luck m8.
I came from the G2X because that phone was riddled with problems, but now it seems like I may have made a huge mistake. That phone's problems were nothing compared to the problems that I'm having with this phone and it seems to be getting worse.
The power button issue where at least two or three times a day, the home button is turning into a screen capture button. VERY annoying to have to deal with that, then go and delete all the stupid screen caps from the photo album.
Inability for the camera to focus on anything in macro/close up. I can't use any barcode apps, which I used to use all the time.
Complete loss of signal for no apparent reason until I toggle on/off airplane mode or restart about two or three times a week. EXTREMELY annoying and makes me miss important calls.
Phone freezing for no apparent reason in middle of a phone call.
The internet lag, which occurs when you're surfing and it takes 4-5 seconds to just connect and start downloading. I've never seen this with any previous smart phones.
These are only the major problems.
Are they planning to fix any of these problems? I have had some bad RMA issues in the past and would prefer not to get a crappy refurbished phone that's going to still have most, if not all of these issues (which all seem pretty wide spread).
Since I know that many of you are having these issues, what are you doing about them?
I don't have any of this issues and you should definitely consider getting an exchange for another Sensation.
I used to have a G2x too and 200% more happy with my Sensation.
What software version are you.running?

Unfortunately the problems you are describing are just part of the "fun" of owning a Sensation. This was without a doubt one of the worst purchases I have ever made, and I still cant believe HTC produced this phone. Its almost as if they fired the entire quality control department just to get these handsets out the door. Regardless, I feel bad that you (likely) spent $600 on an awful device like I did. I would suggest you try and sell it on Craigslist and then buy the new Nexus device next month. However, you will then need to deal with knowing you sold some poor sucker a total piece of sh*t....... Its really a 'lose/lose/ situation buddy, I feel for ya!
I came from the g2x as well. After two g2x s and the same problems with both, no GPS locking and **** battery life ( dead by 5pm ). This phone isn't the best but it's been an amazing phone for me. I think you just got a bad one.

The Optimus 2x and G2x are the worst Android devices of 2011. Riddled with random reboots, reboots by charging and battery pulls, quite frankly how anyone can see it differently is nuts.

That is VERY bad advice. The most recent OTA update actually caused many of the problems people are now experiencing. More specifically, the newest OTA update now causes random screenshots (when pressing home) and makes the touchscreen very unresponsive. If I could go back to the previous version I would, however you do lose some functionality by doing so.
As before, dont just take my advice. Spend a few minutes on this forum and you with find thousands of other users pulling their hair out after purchasing this phone. Regarding the issue that occurs after updating via OTA, I point you to the following thread.

Enjoy, and 'caveat emptor'.
Wow. After having my Sensation for a few months I'm shocked to see you're having all these issues. I've had a ton of smartphones dating back to the Treo 600 and this is the best I have ever had.

I had thought I would be raving about this phone to be honest. I was a blackberry user for well over 10 years, going waaay back to the RIM 850 (I bet most people reading this were YOUNG children when that came out!). In the early 2000's I began importing the original HTC windows mobile handsets for sale on ebay, and I have tested, sold, and used almost every "smartphone" released since then. About a year ago I finally came to the realization that the Blackberry platform was showing its age, so I began looking into Android. After a few months of going back and forth I bought the G2, and then a few months later I "upgraded" to the Sensation. BIG MISTAKE!!! Between the sluggish, battery hogging monster that is the Sense OS and the HORRIBLE build quality of this phone, nothing good has come out of this relationship. For the few that have had no problems with this phone, just wait, they will develop! For those who are toying with the idea of buying this phone JUST WALK AWAY. Unless you can get this phone for free, and unless you don't mind sending it back for repair (over and over and over) then looks elsewhere for your Android fix.
nothing wrong wit mine. completely stock but rooted. i love this phone....
You have a faulty handset. I have none of these problems. This phone is nothing short of amazing.

Hi, i didn't want to started new thread but after spending 2 hours of searching i gave up Something weird happened with my device. When i press power button i can see Sense unlock screen, i can see that i have network signal even wifi connection. I can even plug device to pc and there is a connection. But when i try to unlock device there is no response, no vibration nothing at all. Does any of Ya had the same problem. I'm on a stock HTC Rom with official ICS update so nothing special (my device is still on warranty )
Can you give it a battery pull, wait about 20 seconds and pop it back in and see if it starts up?
because your STOCK and still under ware tee I would bring this to the attention of your provider or who ever handles the warentee issues for your device. Perhaps they can offer a fix OR replace the device through warentee. I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems going through warentee. You have not altered your device in anyway so you will be good. I would contact them asap and see what they have to say. I wish you the best and hope you get this resolved soon. Let us know what they say. Likely you will get a new device . Good luck!

I live in Norway so as You know Scandinavian countries recieved ICS update as first. I was running my device without any problems since then, nothing at all and then yesterday evening this **** happened Yeah but i can try fixes or tommorow i will get Nexus Damn i hope those guys at the store aint gonna make any problems (i spared money for 6 months to buy this phone and now that :/ )
Finaly today i got my phone back. They just flashed new Rom into it. You can imagine how happy i was (let the customize begin ) When i came back home the first thing i've done was installation of ADW Launcher Ex then suddenly i see that my volume button is missing (FUUCKK) I've found it on the carpet. So i've tought that i'll read about it in the internet. Everyone was complaining about HTC's Customer Service. But i've filled the form, attached two photos and after five minutes THEY called me. The guy was verry nice and only because my device is six months old i don't have to pay for the cover BUT suddenly right after we end talking a LAG came back. SOME FUUCKKINNGG DISASTER !!! So my friend have called me and i was able to answer the phone. I think it's because of ADW Launcher because right after i've unnistaled it everything works fine. Such a shame, i really like this launcher. Can You guys give me some tips about launcher similar to ADW. Cheers
Just take the plunge and root the phone and stick a rom on there.
