Heya all,
Just got a call from my girlfriend that my old inspire i gave to her started randomly buzzing when she plugged in the charger? It's a new inspire battery not a cheap chinese one so i dont think its a battery problem ...
1. Phone is dead
2. buzzing when plugged in
3. i'd rather not buy her a new phone so any help is appreciated
I'm having this problem when calling people... but its only me lol my friend used my phone to call and it didn't do it for him -.- but when. I hit the call button it vibes twice and random does it :/

it may be a hardware problem. if you still have warranty, then i would go check with the store u bought it from
bad cable, bad charger. try replacing those first. and just cuz a battery isnt cheap doesnt mean it cant fail, so dont rule that out simply cuz it was expensive
Inspire battery is a cheap chinese battery.
Sounds like a hardware problem. Have you tried calling htc?

Connected to the htc charger the phone wigs unless touching the phone while touching the screen. Connected to my vibrant charger it works fine without issue,no need to ground it.
I know people said connected to charger it has issues but its specifically the stock one (atleast in my case,hopefully you too) and the charger itself causing the issue. So get a new charger. Htc will have to make new ones cause these are junk.....

Crazy ,anyone know how or why that's happening inside the htc charger?
I had the problem with.the charger if the phone was on its back laying somewhere and I tried to use the Screen it would go crazy. My replacment charger comes in on Monday. Hopefully they have fixed the problem.

I think they made a bad batch.. cause that's just wack ..
Its what made me exchange my 1st phone. No issues with the new charger.

Yep, I have no issues while charging the phone with the stock charger/USB cable.
No issues so far. Charger, no charger, holding it, not holding it. Never any problems with screen responsiveness. But I've only had it 3 days, so we'll see. Knocking on wood while typing...
Dude, you might actually be on to something. I have come to the conclusion that whether anyone believes it or not. The touch screen issue IS NOT a software issue. I really do think that over time, the device is holding on to static electricity which is causing the issues. My old phone that was doing this would stop after I pulled the battery for 1 hour but would start to act back up as the day went on.
Plus, this is the first Android device I've used where the battery starts acting up if you don't use the cable included with the Sensation.
I had the exact same issue. I use my MT3G charger now, as I like the shape much better. I hate how the Sensation charger sticks out so far from the wall.

You exchanged the whole phone for a bad charger? That seems..... excessive

It had touchscreen issues in general. The whole charger thing just put it over the top.

I can't believe it
I too have this problem but not with the stock charger. Since I got my phone I have been using the same old no name charger with no name usb cable. Until I came upon this posting and tried to unlock my phone or type something while it was charged it would go crazy. I even touched the phone as in the video and tried to use the touch screen but it didn't work as normal. Now I have to try and use the stock charger to see if its the phone or the charger it self.
**used the stock HD2 charger and cable and no problems**

I was thinking this exact same thing.... About the static electricity...
Another weird thing is that even when you plug in the wionky charger, the first few swipes are golden, then about 3 swipes later, wonky.
I've used my old BlackBerry USB cable to sync it and have had no problems. It's really surprising to see so many people with problems...I was actually going to return my Sensation because of the WiFi death grip issue but I don't want to run the risk of getting another one of these issues.

Maybe the stock causes issues like mine and another charger is fine .... Just checked again my stock charger makes it crazy..
And don't exchange for WiFi issue.. they all have it. Well the three I've had..
Haven't had any issues with the stock charger but I mostly use the Nexus one wall charger due to its awesome length,imo It's the best charger htc has provided with a device

And yea, what's up with this two foot charger junk..lol. I feel like I'm humping the socket using it while charging..
I can certainly say that it the problem affects more devices than you think. I'm not totally sure what causes it but you guys should see my zune hd.. It will literally control itself. Play music by itself, go in and out of menus (super fast by the way). If you guys want a video I can upload one if I can find it... It freaked me out when it first started to happen keep in mind, the zune is perfectly normal and works fine. The charger was one of those cheap chinese stuff.. So it could be a quality issue. I have yet to have the problem on my myTouch 4g though. I had it in a vibrant, hd2, I think even a G2 .

My Nexus1 used to do that on some chargers. Had to turn the screen off and back on to get it to clear up. Figured they were just slightly out of spec chargers and tried not to use them anymore.

IF you can return it back to store for replacement as it looks like it is hardware issue.

I am experiencing the same issues this evening, and have not had any problems before this. I am going to exchange it tomorrow.
Thanks for the quick reply guys...All this while i was thinking to be a software issue
This actually happened to me earlier today. Once I had to remove the battery. Another time the phone eventually rebooted by itself and had some message in the taskbar saying something about an unexpected reboot. It wanted me to send a report to HTC. I have never seen that on any HTC phone I have ever had. Luckily this is a phone I have to return anyways, this just adds to the list of things.
unfortunately the list is increasing by the day
1.) S-Off
2.) Death grip
3.) Shut downs and reboots
4.) Battery woes
Its getting onto my head now...Seriously thinking of switching to SGSII
sorry to revive this thread....Just curious to know if there is anyone else also having this problem and any solution found by anyone ???
having this problem again...had it twice in three days now...
anyone else also having this kind of problem ???
How was the battery level before it started doing that?
Generally the battery has been near 100% wheneve this has happened... It happened yesterday night again..

I'm trying to reply to all threads with the fix for that...... the battery is the issue, aparently the original is sensible to all our needs, it's only a 1500 mAh.
buy another battery, I personnaly bought a 1900 mAh Anker battery from eBay with $12.99 and all my problems are gone.
After having problems of randomly shutting off and having to take off the battery and put it back to turn it on, my phone got to the point of not even turning on even if I pull and reinsert the battery.
The phone was less than a month old.
I searched over the internet and found that the problem could be the battery so I bought a pair of new batteries (hyperion) from amazon but that didn't work.
I don't live in the US so my question before giving up and buy a new phone is... Is my Inspire 4G dead??
Call HTC its still under warranty

HTC does not warranty phones out of the retailing country. Unless you know someone in the US that can make the warranty claim for you.

Man that sucks... he should at least try, HTC is a great company to deal with, if he explains what happened. Worth a shot?

Have you tried powering up while plugged in to charge to make sure if its the battery or not?
Not living in the US
By chance are you a US citizen that is a student, federal employee, or U.S. military? If so you might have a reasonable chance of getting them to honor the warranty being "out of country" as you are. If you are a foreign national, try one of the methods mentioned above. It sucks that your phone is having issues.
You won't believe what happened.....
Suddenly my phone started to work. I reinserted the new battery and the phone started to charge it. The phone was off but the animation of the battery appeared (htc battery widget). I left it charge to 100% before turning the phone on again.
I had removed the original micro sd card (I forgot the thing in my office), so I inserted another one that I had in home.
The phone worked, finally!! But suddenly it started to show error messages with android sense and other stuff so I decided to do a factory reset.
When I did so, the phone stayed in the screen with the screen that shows the 3 android figures on skates and I thought it had frozen, so I pulled out the battery and now it doesn't turn on again. :'(
Going back to my original question.... is it dead now???
It seems no one else has a vibration issue with their sensaiton when using the Anker battery. When I use the Anker battery, my vibration sounds a little weird. Its very obnoxious sounding and I would like to fix it. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
Its not my back cover, I got a replacement and it did not fix the problem.
Is got an anker 1900 battery and haven't noticed any strange sound. When you say you fit a replacement do you mean a replacement back or battery?
Do you notice if the back does not fit properly onto the phone with the anker battery? Have you put the stock battery back on to rule out that it is indeed not the phone body or backing that is causing it? Care to describe the sound better, more info is always helpful...sounds like a buzzing sound, or a ringing sound or something else...
I would say buzzing sound. And yeah i've replaced both the anker battery and back cover of the phone. Neither fixed it. This does not occur with the stock battery, but my battery life with my anker is just so good I would rather keep using it
I could use some help! I'm sure someone wants a rise in their thank meter!
Am i allowed to bump myself in. This? Lol
I'm getting a replacement phone for funky vibration lol
The whole casing vibrates, I tried my wife Sensation back cover, didn't fix it and btw, I'm using stock battery.

About an hour ago I tried charging my phone because I was going to flash a new Rom and it wouldn't charge. The LED Light doesn't even come on. It was at 15% when I first noticed it doesn't charge. I tried multiple chargers and USB cords but still no luck and me turning the phone on and off constantly trying to diagnose the problem caused the battery to die. I haven't dropped my phone and it doesn't have water damage. Please help
Still on contract may warranty it its sounds dead if you tried diffent plugs and battery
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Thanks for the response I appreciate it... The battery works it just won't charge. What do you mean when you say it sounds dead? I don't know if I can get insurance from it because I traded my old phone for it with a friend. I have insurance though. Do you still think I should warranty exchange or use my insurance?
i had the SAME exact issue 2 weeks ago and made a post about this with a weird story to it. But there is nothing that I could of done and luckily I had insurance so I got a replacement and I suggest you do the same.
Warranty may still be good though. Is it rooted?
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Yes it's still rooted but I'll find a way to brick it and take it to the T-Mobile tomorrow. If they won't replace it I'll just use my insurance. Luckily I still have a Samsung highlight from like 2009 I can use for the time being. Thanks guys I really appreciate your feedback.
Flash radio, remove battery halfway through should kill it.
try adb reboot with battery in before you brick it, you never know
