No issues on any of the custom roms I've tried.
hm.. srange issue. I didn't noticed any of this while watching videos..
Happened to me today while whatching a video with MX Player. But nothing in Youtube app.
Also another backlight bug: I have my backlight set at 2/3. After I exit camera it doesb't go back to 2/3, it stays at 100%. If I try to set it back from the Sense widget it just acts weird. A lock/unlock does the trick.

the whole ICS thing is weird, Go Launcher went nuts and keeps freezing, Android Widgets PRO doesnt work, battery is dry in no time, cant catch any radio station anymore, mobile podcast doesnt work, contract groups duplicated, this ICS is acting hilarious ... at least by me
Yeah, tried stock ICS in unrooted ROM. The backlight will suddenly brighten up on me.
Stock Sense based ROMs have a few bugs with autobrigtness. This bug has existed since this device ran gingerbread.
Did you check whether you cover the light sensor with your hand while in landscape watching videos?
Edit: you said you do not have autobrightness...sorry :banghead:

So when you open your camera the brightness doesn't crank up and stick for a while?

This is a feature, not a bug. It becomes a bug if/when it turn automatic brightness to full brightness and you have to re-set it on automatic in settings like it often happened on GB. Didn't notice this on ICS (ROM in my signature) 'til now.

When I was using GB, brightness turned to 100% when I opened camera and went back to my setting when I closed it.
Same thing in ICS except it goes back to my setting only when I lock/unlock the phone.
But the brightness turning to 100% when I pen the camera isn't a bug. It's supposed to do this. Not going back to my setting is a bug.

On both gingerbread and ICS builds it would not revert back to the previous brightness level for me. I was experiencing a bug. I KNOW it is supposed to crank up the brightness on certain applications. NOT reverting the brightness back is what was happening.
I'm experiencing exactly the same thing as the first poster. After the update, video playback will lose brightness and colour contrast and then magically "pop" back when I try to reset the brightness (even though it still shows as maximum, i.e. dropping brightness from an indicated 100% to 99% will cause it to become brighter!). I emailed MoboPlayer to ask them whether it was something wrong with their ICS implementation before realizing that it was happening on every player.
It's really annoying! (Maybe it's time to CyanogenMod it ...)
Stace.
I have experienced this with ALL ICS ROMS. Sometimes is happens, and sometimes it doesn't. Only bug I have in ARHD.

Im having the same problem as the original poster. Happens with 720p videos.
HTC says every sensation has this issue and its normal.Unfortunately i cant post. Here is a link to two videos. goo.gl/ nHNG4 (no space). One is of my sensation playing tricks on me and the other is the video i played. Can someone confirm that they have the same issue playing this video? Note that you have to set brightness at maximun. I tried other players and SD cards and still the same issue. I have ICS 4.0.3.

Friend, i dont have this problem on youtube. Only in certain youtube videos the brightness will barely change which is hardly a problem. When you play the video i included in the file do you have the same issues as me? Do you have 4.0.3 too?

The autofocus on the sensation is not working for close items you want to photograph.
An example:

Did you use the close up mode?? Mine focuses just fine..

I've had the opposite problem (tried to take a video of some paragliders), close ups are really sharp though. The automatic settings are a little bit unpredictable, might need to set the mode next time.

That makes it even worse. I called HTC and they suspected a firmware issue.
Im running 1.28.401.1
Yeah, I've had some issues with autofocus with close-ups, with the camera set to macro mode. When you tap on the object to focus it will go through its range of focal lengths and miss the subject. The only remedy to this is to move the phone further away. So it seems that the phone's lens/es are more capable of macro shots than the focussing system currently allows.
I called HTC and they said it might be software related and will probably fix this in next update. Let's hope so!
Having the same issue. It manages to focus fine but locks focus at the wrong moment. Glad to hear they'll fix this.
I definately not. Close up works better for me the autofocus does take a little patience but is worth it after its taken. It blows the g2x cam out of the water that's for sure!!

dude get a can of compressed air & clean out your PC. it'll thank you for the cleaning
I've got a similar problem, it appeared like 2 weeks ago, I cannot focus up close objects I've tried everything, it's as if the focus is stuck on something and never changes no matter what I do. I have changed the mode (close up or macro) different light and so on .. but I can never get a focus It doesn't even attempt to focus. It used to work before when I played around with the setting if I would switch on/off some of the things the camera would magically "wake up" and start focusing, any Idea ?
It's one of the things that HTC broke in the 2.3.4 update. Macro mode worked great before that (i used to use it for bulk barcode scanning, but that is impossible now).

If anyone wants to know the roms or anything I did, just msg me I don't wanna badmouth any roms or anyone.
Has anyone noticed that the HTC Sensation's screen continues to change it's brightness automatically (in a bad way) continuously? I will set it on auto brightness and if I open the camera or go outside and it's really bright, it will change from auto to full brightness and won't dim unless I alter the settings again.. Bug? It's annoying.. Is there a fix? If not we need to notify HTC for a required update.
This really should have been posted in the "General" section instead of here, maybe a mod can move it...
I have noticed this as well. What's a little more annoying is when it dims down it doesn't do it gradually like my HD2 did (and many other HTC devices). Instead it goes from bright to dim very abruptly and tends to jump back and forth often.
I actually haven't noticed this at all. Got my Sensation yesterday. I will keep my eye out for it now, but maybe it's a bug...

Does yours gradually get dim when the screen is about to turn off or does it adjust abruptly?

Not that I'm aware of, my HD2 gradually gets dim which is nice. The last device I owned that did it this way was my HTC Blackstone (HD).
Pretty sure its a feature of the auto brightness. It adjusts to its surroundings. I uncheck mine and set the brightness level to where I want it so it doesn't do that.
Mine sometimes abruptly changes too. My MT4G was a LOT smoother with screen brightness changing. Yes it is annoying when it happens.
Mine dims as smooth as my girlfriends butt. But when i installed juicedefender it jumped instead. Had to activate screen dimming in troubleshooting for it to go smooth again. Also it doesn't go as low without juicedefender

there's a thread in the general forum discussing this. it has to do with the widget not knowing what to do on qHD. search for the thread there since I'm too lazy right now to find it & give you the link directly
Isnt Auto Brightness supposed to do just that? Automatically change the brightness? The thing is in a lot of custom roms it never works properly but that's how it should work. It uses the light sensor..In lower lights it will automatically dim, the lower the light, the lower the brightness will be. in brighter lights it increases the brightness so you can see the screen. So if you're inside and it's dim and step outside into the direct sunlight of course it will become brighter and it will seem like a drastic change because you just made a drastic light change. If you had made the change from being inside to outside and the light gradually got lighter the screen would still get brighter just not as quick
EDIT: opps nevermind. I misread the OP. I didnt see the part where he said the brightness wouldnt return. lol reading too many threads at once.. lol

I have three stock HTC Sensation 4G's in the family.
Initially, I thought my wife was messing with the settings which is why the Auto settings for 'display brightness' was constantly getting unchecked. I asked her about it and noticed that the same thing is happening on all three phones.
So looks like this is a bug on HTC's side. I am already peeved that it's 3+ months and there's no sign of 2.3.4 with Google Talk video yet.
Hey everytime I'm watching a video on YouTube through the YouTube app, it makes the phone incredibly slow, the video and sound runs as it should, but the app it self runs slow and when I lock
and unlock the phone, the silver "unlock ring" moves really slow, it can't even catch up to my finger...
I've tried running full flash content from the browser, and that works well.
Anyone else got this problem?

I don't think this is an issue with the phone. I think it has to do with too many RayWJ videos.

He was just being silly.
I watch a ton of youtube on mine and it operates very well. Always high quality also. If I lock the screen... sure it might give me some lag unlocking. Same thing if I do it during a 3d game. I wouldn't consider this unusual as the youtube or game was properly sucking up all the system resources it could handle.
I don't know what you guys are talking about. It doesn't lag for me. Check Task Manager to see what's running and end all applications besides Youtube.
Yeah, keep your mouth shot. But seriously, it's just you dude. Try rebooting your phone.
I can confirm the OP's findings. I too experience the same issue when using YouTube to listen to some random songs. I lock my phone after the song loads. When I try to unlock my phone it is very laggy and it feels as if the phone is using a lot of memory when it really isn't.
You Tube
Being watching lots of clips using You tube no issues. I have an issue with the sound quality. Anyone having this issue?
Tonight I made a little video of the phone running in slow motion while playing a YouTube video.

To stream and buffer your phone IS using memory. Where do you think it stores the data? Videos aren't small.

Anyone have their display setting reset to max brightness after taking a picture or exit out of the camera app?
Sometimes when I take a picture with flash the phone will shutoff. When I turn it back on the brightness is at 100%.

Tasker is an app in the market
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I just wanted to add that it also happens when the phone comes out of a low power state. So if you have your low power profile click in at say 25%, then charge your phone above that, your brightness will be back to 100%.
I am also using tasker to set the brightness to auto-adjust every 2 minutes. Tasker is $6.95 in the market (but very useful for other things too).
Have had this happen a few times. Never knew the cause, just remember being blinded in the dark, lol

I have this same issue. Driving me crazy! Thanks for suggesting it might be the camera app. I think this is true. I'm going to try to remember if I ever open the camera to go into settings and reset Auto Brightness. Very annoying, but I do seem to think its related to the camera app.
