Anyone gone 7 days or more and not had touchscreen unlock problem?

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.

I've had my sensation for two weeks now... I have had no problems at all with it. It's going great for me so far! (touch wood)

No problems at all with my sensation (since 26th of May)

I have had mine since 19th too and no problems. Other than odd signal drops sometimes

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?

Sensation screen unresponsive for short time after turning on

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?

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.

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...

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.

[Q] please help sensation screen shows only tv static

Hello. i bought the htc sensation in october. It has been working fine...until yesterday the wierdest thing happened the screen started showing tv static on the whole screen. It disappeared after 5 seconds. I noticed it came when i put the mobile in my pocket. It behaved like this several times. I then did a factory reset to try and resolve problem but now situation has worsened it only shoes tv static and nothing else. I have tried charging it rebooting it. I am sending it back as i have a brightex warranty card. I am really worried i have android 2.3.3.4 updated automatically .

Same
Any update? Did you solve it? Anyone else has the same issue? I have the same tv noise, even changed the lcd screen and its the same.

I have the same issue...

Same Issue
Same issue here, i have seen a few threads about it, but no answers. Mine didnt "just happen" though. I had cracked the digitizer and decided to have it replaced. I had read that doing the digitizer seperate was causing people issues so i bought a preassembled digitizer/lcd. The LCD was working fine before i installed the new one. When i booted it up with the new one, there was static on the screen. I tried disassembly/ reassembly and still static. I plugged the origional screen in and still static. I have no idea what to do here, any help would be appreciated.

Screen dying

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem as I am.
Basically a few months ago I noticed a little white line in the middle of my screen. I ignored it until the point that my touchscreen stopped responding.
I sent my phone back to HTC and I got a new screen.
I saw this morning that this problem is back, I will be sending it back to HTC but I was hair wondering whether this has happened to anyone else and what the cause of this could be.

Are those lines dead or stuck pixels? I have an itouch that had similar symptoms, the lcd was showing lines of green pixels, the touch stopped responding, it got extremely laggys so i opened it and without the cover i holded it in my hand, voila. Since the sensation also has a similar problem with touchscreen i guess its caused by static and gronding that could also affect lcd, holding it without the cover makes the trick for me, you should try the grounding pin fix.
My 2 cents.

Looking for informations about daughterboard/ribbon cable issues

Umm... hi
I have two Nexus 5, one which is out of warranty and one brand new one.
So the first one I stopped using because the screen is acting funny.
Meaning suddenly turning black, image flickering, touch not working.
Sometimes tapping on the back of the phone helps, but I do forced reboots alot to fix it.
Also, mic is dead and speaker tends to ask for a tap to make it work here and there.
My second phone was meant as replacement, but after two weeks the backlight
of the entire right screen half started to go on and off several times a day. Tapping helped,
but I just returned to it get it replaced.
On youtube, you will find a huge amount of videos showing how various of those screen
and touch and reception and mic issues can be solved by simply replacing the 20$ daughterboard.
The one connecting the bottom half of the phone with the mainboard. This includes display, mic, speaker
and more. I intend to do that aswell on my broken-af first Nexus, but before that, I thought going to XDA
asking if anyone here knows why this component is so receptible to damage. It's not a moving part
and does not run near the CPU, so I really wonder why this part is failing to incredible often. Anyone can
tell me more about that?
Thanks
