So a few months ago I dropped my phone and it landed face down. Cracked the screen (which sucks because I even had a case on it) and since then the vibrate function on the phone comes and goes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it does work it's usually very weak. It has to be a hardware problem of course.. I've even restored my phone a few times since the incident and nothing has changed. But what would I replace to fix it? I'm about to replace the glass digitizer so I figured I'd do both things at once but I can't find a vibrate motor or anything related to it for this phone. Is it possible when I dropped my phone it caused a connection to my motherboard to loosen that is causing this?
Either like you said, the connection is loose or the motor just died out.
I'd say when you take apart the phone, test the motor out with a battery. A simple negative and positive wire connection should do.
I don't think the motor is connected to the mainboard instead has contacts to the board where it draws its power from. Then again, that's back when I used to take apart iPhones. It could be different.

I have same problem after drop, no vibration. I sent for warranty and they fixed it. They told the the problem was just software issues, not hardware.
I try to reflash a few time but don't solve the vibration issues, don't know how they solve this.

I would do the same, but I have to remove the warranty stickers to replace the digitizer and I'm sure they'd deny me warranty service with a cracked screen. Did you tell them that you had dropped it?

I bought my sensation XE off ebay last week and it arrived with no vibration at all. tried loads of settings and wiped the phone and started again but nothing worked. So i was about to tell the ebay seller that i was sending back becuase it wasnt working correctly.
but before i did that i read around on various forums and found that a few people had, had this problem from new with their sensations. i read quite a few responses saying they had dropped their phone by accident and the vibration started working again for them. So i sat on my floor and dropped it repeatedly a few times from about a foot (30cm) off the ground - and heypresto... it works now!!!!!
I havent accepted it might stop again but i guess ill just drop it again a couple of times if it stops again.

I took that back cover off and lightly banged my phone against my knee a few times and it started working again and was working very strong for a few minutes. I guess I'll just deal with it. Does anyone know if this will work with my phone? It's a T-mobile Sensation manufactured 5-31-11. I don't know how to find the model number to see if it's compatible but I've heard if you don't get the right one specifically for the T-mobile version of the Pyramid you'll run into problems.

I want to try and establish the extent of this problem. Is everyone getting it eventually or should I return the phone? Please do not reply if you have had the phone for a day and not had the problem. It seems to only appear after a few days. It took 4 days for it to happen to me.
Having the exact same problem. It's when you're trying to unlock it while not in your hand. Really annoying. Also couldn't answer a call once when I had it in my pocket before, I assume the latter had something to do with heat, as it was pretty hot that day.
Anyone else?
Iv had mine since May 19th . I had loads of problems and had my first sensation replaced after just a few days. My second sensation had some memory problems till I did a factory reset and now its spot on. But I have never had any unlock problems.

Same here.
Think I may return mine then. Just thought the problem may be inevitable but it looks like it might not.
Quick question for those with the screen problem... Do you have a plastic case, one of those that sit round the back cover? Have you also tried cleaning with a microfibre or other such cloth?
No case or anything, stock ROM. A reset has got rid of it for the moment but for other people it seems like it just comes back again and gets worse. Screen is clean. Has been cleaned just to check. Reset fix and delayed onset suggests a hardware issue to me.
Got mine on 20th May. Not a single problem at all. Used it already also during a trip abroad. Great handset, the best I have ever had! (The only issue is the locked bootloader which makes it impossible to Root and thus not able to use Mybackup Pro and some more apps)
Question for those who have not had the problem. Do you reboot your phone often (full power off). It occured to me that the reason some people may not have seen the problem is because it is rebooted (which seems to help) before it occurs. If you have had your phone on without a reboot for a week I think it is safe to say your phone is not effected.
+1 to having nothing but reception now and again

My current up time is 347 hours, according to battery stats. That's about 2 weeks. Before that, it was about a week. My phone has never crashed or rebooted by itself. I only rebooted because I ran out of battery.
more than 2 weeks now..now problems whats so ever with the screen or the lock !
My Sensation's touchscreen developed issues after about a week. The problem affects not only the lockscreen but also the scrolling in the application drawer (and elsewhere) and typing.
Changing the lock screen to anything that loads from the microsd seems to slow it down or render it unresponsive. Ie.. the photo album lock screen. Micro SD may be too slow or faulty.

It only happened to me once, but I was using an external battery charger that also had a usb port on it for charging the phone at the same time. It was for my Mytouch slide, and only if the phone wasn't in my hand. Using the charger I got with the phone I have yet to have the issue even when it wasn't in my hand.
Do the people that have this issue also have the wobbly screen issue where if you press the left or right side of the screen it compresses a little bit then bounces back?
Hey guys.. So I've had my inspire for about 2 or 3 months now, and this thing is driving me apeshhh. Here is why...
For a few weeks now, the phone would randomly restart in the middle of doing something, always random. Sometimes while writing a msg in the stock facebook app. Sometimes when browsing market, sometimes when browsing using the web browser. Today I wanted to download Astro to see if the music I put on the phone went to external or internal SD. As soon as the download finished, the phone restarted. After it booted back up I looked through apps, and it never installed. I went back to market and searched it, pulled it up, and it shows installing.... let it sit for 5 minutes... nothing. Restarted, same thing. Pulled the battery... same thing... I can't cancel it, or try again. It will now no longer install anything else.
I figured maybe it needs to download something that it just doesn't have the network speed to use, and trying turning on wifi. IT WONT EVEN TURN ON. Under the settings menu to turn it on, it says error. When i tap on it, the error msg just goes off then comes back right away.
Anybody else experience this? I really wish SOMEBODY would come out with a decent f**king phone on the AT&T network.... I guess I can now add HTC to the list of people that can't build a decent phone. Just below Samsung... (What a POS line of phones they have released).
Anyway, phone is stock, not rooted, nothing turned off, completely stock.
How does the warrenty work now? I bought the phone outright, cash, $500... for this....
Thanks for any help.
Could be your phone mate. I've had this phone maybe about three months and haven't experienced those issues. Just might be a lemon you have. Where did you purchase the phone?

Back up your stuff and factory reset. If that doesn't work then either Root it and try a different ROM or get a replacement phone.
You might want to look at the thread in here about random shutdowns. It looks like the batteries on these phones can be the culprit. My phone randomly shutdown, sometimes restarted. I thought it was a ROM I had loaded at first. The problem got progressively worse no matter what ROM I used. It would do it maybe once a day & then within less than 3 weeks I have to keep it plugged in all the time. It happened when I opened a power-intensive app like navigation or a game. The battery is covered under warranty.
This issue seems to be rather uncommon, but it does exist.
Nothing compared to what Captivate owners went through.
Lemons do happen, but as suggested, I'd try another battery first. If that doesn't solve the problem, there shouldn't be any issue with getting a warranty replacement.
And that warranty replacement will, with near certainty, be a good one. Again, unlike the Captivate.
I've had mine for about 3 months with none of these issues. HTC phones for me have been great. Even their customer service and support if their products. And I have had Samsung,motorolla, and LG none at the same level of build quality. If you continue having problems get in touch with the HTC support they will help if not let u know if you can get a replacement.

I am a former captivate owner. That phone was so bad that it destroyed it's own internal memory. Every app continously force close, every process, upon startup one day. Restored a backup, got nothing, reflashed, got nothing, mounted it and formated it then ran a memory checking utility on my computer with it, and it showed like 46% of the sectors being bad, after then 2nd test somewhere in the high 50s. I promtly punched in the screen and folded the phone in half, and tore it into 2 pieces... So i think that may be why I'm relatively patient with this phone.. (that was also my 3rd captivate replacement). (Debating using a picture of the phone as-is in a DIY to fixing captivates and post it in that forum... get all your frustration out and buy a new phone.. ha ha.)
I will call HTC and see talk to a rep, maybe they know more about the problem and will be able to determine whether the phone or the battery is at fault.
Also, factory reset did not fix the wifi problem. Instead of immediately going back to error under it's status, and spent about 10 seconds trying to connect, then came up with error. This leads me to believe it's hardware related.
I will most likely push for a replacement phone then. I do have a concern with that though... My phone has never gotten wet, and only has a small indication of falling out of my pocket while sitting in a stadium chair (maybe a 12 inch drop onto concrete). Will this void my warrenty? The scar left behind is hardly noticeable, but if they looked for it, it will be seen. Another thing is, when I pull my battery cover off, there are 2 screws along the side, one is covered by a sticker that reads VOID, black sticker with white text. Is that some kind of indicator of water damage? I'm more familiar with white stickers turning red or pink from water damage... and as said, this phones never been wet.
Thanks again for the help.
At&t is usually good about replacing defective phones and will be faster than dealing with htc. You obviously have experience with at&t warranty having owned a captivate.

Those stickers are intact right? As long as their intact and not "punched in," which would indicate a screwdriver has penetrated in order to get the phone open, you should be good, as far as that's concerned.
Uhh well bad luck for you... I dont think this is a common problem...
Im guessing the iphone is on top of your list xD

I have just replaced my digitizer (was dust under the screen and also a scratch on the digitizer itself, along with the fact I damaged it removing the sticky tape) and the whole screen is almost completely unresponsive. Brand new, but wont work fully until I touch the screen for a bit or give it time to sit after activating the lockscreen.
Once it is through it's "warmup" the screen works flawlessly. It just acts like a slug before that... Also rendering the quick launch lock screen completely worthless. Anyone have any ideas what could be the culprit?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
I too replaced a broken screen on my sensation, and i am experiencing the exact same problem as you. Only for me it's only the lower left part of the screen that 'takes time to warm up'.
Did you find any solution?
Not yet. I have another digitizer on order, and fingers are crossed. If not, ill be biting the bullet and waiting for the nexus prime. I have this feeling that it is something other than the digitizer which is extremely sensitive. If people are claiming responsiveness issues after a week or two of use, and while on their sixth or seventh sensation... It sounds like something is slowly deteriorating or building up.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I don't think it's the digitizer either, probably something else ont he phone. However i don't think it is the same problem as everybody else is having, since they experience their screen being unresponsive in general rather than just after turning on.
I am though going to try some of the fixes suggested, i.e. improve the grounding by placing some aluminum foil under the cover and see if it helps.
What does "turning on" mean? Cold boot up? If so, then the CPU on the phone will be busy doing stuff. If you mean waking up from sleep, then that's another problem.
for me it's both cases, both when booting the phone and just when turning the screen back on. What's strange is that it is only the lower part of the screen that's frozen :-S after 10-20 seconds it suddenly springs back to life just as nothing had happened and works flawlessly until i turn the screen of. Then i see the exact same problem again.
I also noticed now that the screen also freezes after calling somebody and when you hang up :-0 I really don't know what is wrong with the phone!
If the phone is unsecured (never sleeps) it will work flawlessly. As soon as I click the top button to secure the screen, or take a phone call, once I try to unlock/ use the screen again... The problem comes back. The left side of the screen is the most responsive, usually moving my finger around for about five or ten seconds will restore full sensitvity. I received a new digitizer in the mail, just waiting on tape. Interesting note; they are different digitizers. The original was HTC/ tmobile brand while the replacement is simply HTC. The ribbon cable also reads different. My original: pyd v1.0, sw-10 94v-0, e3082521117. The new one reads: pyd v1.0, e21954-1, ruICACichia, 94v-0 1112. The current digitizer replacement is also a standard HTC label... I wonder if it is because it isn't a specific model replacement.

Alright so i tried doing all the fixes related to the grounding issue, and i didn't affect anything at all.
I'm going back to the repair shop today (have a three months warranty) to tell them to have a look at it again and see if they can fix the issue. Maybe they have a spare digitizer they could try instead of my current one. I will let you know if anything helps!
Sounds good. I am betting its either an incorrect digitizer for the model of phone (us/eu/whatever) improper mounting or damage, or just planetary alignment or something equally stupid. I'm really hoping someone figures out this problem... It is frustrating to spend more time figuring out how to fix a phone than you actually do using it.

True, had i known from the start i would probably just have bought a new phone, rather than spend on the money on getting the screen replaced :-S
Well, I replaced the digitizer for a second time. Seems to be the same thing so far. Different initial responsiveness spot (looks like the right side might be more sensitive now) but I didn't have high hopes. I wonder what it could be...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
So i went back to the repair shop and got it fixed. I guess they weren't in the mood for scientific inquiry, because they simply disassembled the phone and installed a new digitizer. After that everything is working fine, altough i will never know if it was the digitizer itself or some faulty wiring somewhere :-S
Worked for me
I have had exactly the same problem you all have experienced. The first digitizer I ordered from a company on e-bay gave me huge problems at the unlock screen. Bought a new one from skalshop and it works perfectly. I even tried it without tape to make sure it worked before I glued the thing together and it worked perfect.
I lock my phone and about 10 mins later I go to unlock it and the phone powers up meaning that it has been turned off. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charge of the battery but it keeps doing this. The other week the phone wouldn't respond for about 5 hours I would touch it and the touch screen was completely dead. I locked the phone and then the screen went black and the touch buttons at the bottom lit up and that was it the phone crashed so I needed to restart it and it just wouldn't work. 5 hours later when I woke up it responded and Bare in mind I ran about 5 ruus to get the phone back to stock so it wasn't a software problem. So has anyone else experienced one of these problems. The random shutdown is my issue at the moment. I'm considering returning it for repair because isn't it true that htc have a 2 year warranty in the uk?
Sounds daft but I'd put a piece of folded paper on top of the battery to ensure it has perfect contact and isn't able to move at all.....I have heard of others who have experienced this issue.
I would also see if you could get another battery for a short time and try that just to rule out that it is an issue with the battery.

My phone used to shut down randomly and I searched and found out that it is due to the bad design of battery placement in this phone. All I had to do was put a small piece of paper and it has never shutdown till then.
I'm definitely going to try this, I've been getting lots of resets and I'm relieved it's not a rom issue
edit: how many times did you guys fold the paper over?

i had issues with my phone turning off too, had it slightly wet at one point so i took it to a phone repair joint, they replaced a few things charged me and it had the same problems afterwards, a test battery proved it was the bloody battery all along!
the tech there let me know our batteries have a soft edge that when pushed up hard against the battery slot it slightly deforms, seems like a bad design if you look at the battery up close you can see one where the edges get pushed in a bit, (well on mine anyway) the test battery i borrowed didn't have the edges pushed in.
Had this problem too. Paper did the trick.

hi have same issue on my htc d820ts so i flashed it with new firmware and check the battery connector or power supply area its ok but phone issue is same so please if some one have any idea help me
Hello everyone,
I have a fairly new HTC One S z520e (2weeks old), running stock 4.0.4 update, no root etc yet.
Lately I am experiencing problems with the capacitive buttons acting like crazy, I remember before owning the phone that I had read some cases that users had similar problems but did not find the threads.
While typing, suddenly all three buttons start acting weird without getting pressed and sometimes the buttons do not work at all. In some cases if I switch off-on the screen sometimes it gets fixed, but most of the time it doesn't and I have to wait a long time to get it to work as it should again, or restart the phone.
I sometimes had this issue with my HTC Desire and typing,but after I cleaned the screen it worked immediately, but this does not happen in this case.
It might be a static electricity issue but I am still not sure.
I have a screen protector and I also thought that this might be the cause, since when I removed the protector from my Desire I never had this problem again.
Is it a software bug or hardware flaw?
Do any of you experience the same issue and have any solution??
Thanx in advance,
T.
Warranty replacement. If you aren't rooted not much you can do. If its that new I wouldn't tolerate it. Get a new one

I wish it was that easy. In my country I can only find the z560e and I was lucky enough to find from an independent dealer a z520e, so if I try to get it replaced in warranty I am sure that I will get back a z560.
