Mine does also after a few days of uptime. A restart fixes it for another few days.

Mine are not working properly, can't get any readings from them. Hardware is fine, checked the chipsets myself. I tried some fixes from others but nothing works correctly. I even ran the HTC RUU of ICS (From EU) and supposedly reset the phone back to 100% default....same ****. Something in the 3.32 firmware is killing the sensors and its happening with TONS of people I know on here EU and US also.
I regret unlocking the phone now :-(

I do not know why it does this.....

I am having a little bit of an issue here. I don't know if anyone else is having these issues, but if anyone can help that would be great. Everytime I get a phone call, I answer it and it answers directly to speakerphone. I don't know if maybe I changed a setting without knowing or something I am confused hahaha. Again, any help is appreciated.

What rom and kernel are you using? It might be a combo of them.
I'm actually not rooted at all that's the odd part.

I had that happen to me once. A reboot of the phone solved it for me... haven't had the problem since.

I had the same problem. My phone had gone in and out of car mode, and I'm assuming that had something to do with it. A restart fixed it for me.

Lockscreen issues

anyone else having lockscreen issues? It was working fine but now of a sudden I have to move the ring like 4-5 times before it unlocks.
Yeah man, well known issue in the forum check out some if the other threads about screen issues. There is not really any real fix except to pray htc sends out their update lickity split and this issue is addressed. Seems most people have this issue after having their phone right around the 1 week mark.

Actually they are still in talks with HBO.. Looks like CBS Studios is offering more money so the mini-series will likely wind up on Showtime.

problems with messaging

I have this weird problem, whenever i text with friends, if i respond back within a minute and the time is the same, then my message will go above my friends message. But if i message back like 1 minute later then it goes below. So i only have the problem if i manage to message back within a minute and before the clock change.
Anyone else have the problem? I allready updated my phone to newest.
And after i did update my phone (did it through the post in the forum here) it wiped my phone complete, so i guess making another reset wont work maybe.
Yeah that's weird, doesn't happen to me at all, no matter when I reply

My friend told me he had the error too on his HTC Hero when he used that.
So i guess it's either a Android or Sense problem. But i'm not sure what to do to fix it, if it's even possible lol.
I also read that sometimes the SGS1 would do that too, but there was no fix that I saw for it. It had something to do with the way the phone time-stamped the messages...
It is "inconvenient" but is it really a big deal? they are just messages after all...
Well no it's not that big a deal, since i have had it for some time now. But it can be annoying sometimes.
Got this problem on my wildfire. Not a big problem.

Neither of those threads have anything to do with the OP, bowers131.
Both of those threads have to do with the weird occurrences of SMS messages being randomly sent to other people, nothing to do with the placement (chronologically) of the posts which are in fact going to the correct person.
I also have it and had it with multiple phones also on wm phone:-o
I think its a operator thing

Mine definitely does this. I was thinking it might be related to me having a huge number of messages from one person in particular. Are most of you experiencing this working with a large number of messages.?

Have you tried SMS Timestamp Fix from market? It usually fixes it, since it's usually a sense issue, been going on like that since the HD2 WinMo. And some desire builds I've used.

Sensation restarting

I'm having problem with this phone. The phone will restart constantly especially during calls, which becomes extremely annoying. Anyone know a fix or a reason why this is happening?

Hi,
You need to provide some information,like:
ROM
Kernel
Radio
Mods
Themes
Etc.
Everything is stock I haven't rooted or anything.

Hi,
Sorry then.
Not much that I can suggest,because you cannot get "under the hood" as it were ,without root.
I would be dubious about rooting the phone or anything,if it's not working properly out of the box.
You might consider sending it back.

When you say restarting, is it just stopping everything and showing the HTC screen before loading sense again? If so, it's because the phone doesn't have enough memory. Delete some apps, and if that still doesn't help, download a different launcher from the market.
I never had any restarting issues, but in the past three days the phone has restarted itself (completely restarted, not just the lag getting back to the home screen) randomly at least six times that I know of.
Other than the Amazon App Store, I'm not aware of any software updates that I've downloaded or installed in the last week. Anyone else have this issue just crop up in the past couple of days?
Mine has randomly restarted while it was in my pocket, and twice as I moved the unlock ring to the middle of the screen to use the phone.
Edited to add: I'm running a stock phone from T-Mobile with Android 2.3.4.
HTC Sense version 3.0
Software number 1.45.531.1
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g3422292

Words with Friends on HTC One S is PAINFULLY slow

Has anyone tried playing Words With Friends on their new One S yet? It works, but as the title suggests, it's painfully slow when trying to return to the game from the ads after taking my turn (if there was a paid version I would buy it to avoid this). And it even tries to force close! I'm using the most recent version - 4.83.
Just curious if anyone else is having the same experience?
Thanks y'all.
It's probably an issue with the app on ICS rather than your specific model. I haven't played it yet on my phone but I remember even on my SGS2 it started to get annoyingly laggy!

Thanks unclespoon. I have to admit - I never considered for a moment that it was actually a problem with the One S. That phone RULES. I just wondered if others had a similar experience.
Hopefully it will get optimized for the One S and other ICS devices sometime soon.

It doesn't ever sort of stutter or time out on the way back in from the ads? Do you have the newest version of the app? Maybe I'll uninstall/reinstall?
Anyone else out there?
Try going to app info and clearing data/cache. Never seems to stutter at all for me.

Tried this. It's somewhat better, but not smooth. It was never perfect, but it didn't try to force close either. Got one more force close this AM after clearing the data/cache. Still stumped on this one.
I picked up the One S a few days ago...same issues for me, including the FC when it gets tired of waiting. Definitely not the phone--the phone is sick as hell. It was the one to finally knock my HD2 off its perch, and I haven't looked back yet (though I did keep the old girl as CM9 and ICS are still being developed at a nice clip for that device).

Couldn't agree more. It's definitely not the phone. The phone RULES! At everything except WWF, apparently.
I am still waiting for my 1s but playing on my sensation with ics I had the same issue making me believe it it's the OS not the phone

That's an interesting point that it might be that it's bad with ICS - not the phone itself (which rules).
Thanks!
