Every since the OTA update, whenever I'm in an app and I press the home screen to get back to my home, the screen goes white and shows the green htc logo. After that, for about 15 seconds, I see my apps on my home screen but I get the loading message. When its done with the loading screen, sense is ok again until I go into another app and I press home and the process repeats. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you'd fix it?

The update stopped mine from doing this. master reset is prob the going to fix it.
Mine does it too after the update. I figured that it was putting sense to sleep to conserve energy.

Mine used to do it after I played Plants vs. Zombies and still does, and now it also does it after using Netflix.
a hard reset fixed it guys. thanks.
Tried the factory reset, but still remain the same. just installed 12 app (no games) all in internal storage, but still remain problem. Need help! Thanks!
I have been having odd power button issues since updating to 2.3.4. It is almost like it is getting stuck or something.
Sometimes when I hit the power button to turn off the screen, the screen goes off for half a second then comes back on. This also happens when going from off to on (i.e. flicker on then back off), but it seems rarer.
Sometimes when I hit the home button (and just the home button), it takes a screenshot like I am hitting the button as well even though I am not.
All of this is fixed by just hitting the power button a few times.
Needless to say it is annoying. I thought it might be something mechanical, but I took the case off the back and the issue still occurred. It also seems like the button is clicking then unclicking (i.e. not getting stuck). I had no issues prior to updating to 2.3.4.
Anyone else had this happen or know a fix or workaround?
Yes! I have the same exact problem after the update!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one.
It's very annoying.
My backlight turns on by itself randomly and often if you press the power button to turn the screen off, it goes off then comes back on or flickers on and off. The power button doesnt always turn the screen back on either.
It also gets stuck where I press the home screen and it keeps taking pictures.
HTC better fix this!

I have the exact same problem too since upgrading! I have disabled the screenshot function in build.prop but that only stops the repeated screenshots part of the problem. The main problem with the power button still persists.
I'm having this too, its come and gone to different extents - pretty sure it was happening a bit before the update though.
I'm worried it is mechanical, I couldn't get it to happen with the back cover off but it could have just been coincidence. I can live with having to press the button again every so often but the screenshot thing annoys the hell out of me!
Since the update I've experienced an issue with my power button as well. Sometimes when I hit the button to turn the screen on, nothing happens. At first I thought it was just me but it happens at least a couple of times a day and never happened before the update.
I don't normally turn my screen off by pressing the power button so I can't report on that. Guess I should count my blessing that the screen shot function is not acting up.
Thanks for posting cause was beginning to think it was just me.
FIX!
I found a fix for this, in your build.prop remove the framework line for screen shots and then go in recovery and whipe cache partition twice as well as dalvic twice!
Cheers!

I've just tried this twice but the problem still persists. Sure the screenshot issue is gone but the powering on and off the display is still intermittent.

I was having the same problem with the power button and was thinking it was hardware thanks for the heads up..
am I like the only one without this problem >.< lol. lucky me
I have this same problem too, I believe its connected to the screenshots but i don't know how to turn it off easily (how do I get into build prop?)
This is definitely after the update, I had absolutely no problems with the power button prior to the update.
I don't have any power button isues at all on my European Sensation (2.3.4 still S-On yet). Playing around it just for a week. But the Screenshot thing is a feature not a bug!
Just press <power button> + <Home> to take a screenshot. I like it.
I just starting having this issue yesterday too. Thought it was my power button getting stuck but good to see it's not a hardware problem and hopefully HTC fixes this.

I think you're right. As a test, I used AntTek App Manager to freeze "Scribble" which is also known as com.htc.mysketcher and I haven't had the issue yet. I believe this component is responsible for monitoring for the key combo for taking screenshots. Certainly, after freezing it, the Power+Home combo no longer works for taking screenshots.

I have just tried this but I still have the issue. Sometimes the power button won't wake up the screen and sometimes when I power off the screen it only stays off for a second and then lights up again.
I have this issue too, but I don't think it is software related problem.
It is, as the phone sometimes recognize a power button click as 2 clicks (screen goes off and on).
To see what I mean, go to Recovery and try to navigate through menus - when you're clicking power to enter any menu, sometimes you jump back, as if you were clicking "Go back"...
So, if the issue is even in Recovery mode, so it is not software related. I even restored my stock 2.3.3. soft and the issue is still there. I think it's a mechanical defect

I have noticed this too now in recovery.
Same here, I never had this issue before, but now after upgrading to this new 2.3.4, I'm having the same issue .

The strange thing is, I even downgraded to 2.3.3 and I still have the problem. I have even flashed stock HBOOT and Recovery but the problem remains. I just don't understand it because it certainly wasn't happening before I upgraded.
Add one more person to the screenshot-club. Haven't had any other problems, but sometimes the phone just keeps taking screenshots when I'm pressing the home key. Extremely annoying, but luckily this is usually solved by tapping the power button. Ofc afterwards you have to clean your gallery of useless pictures... Argh!

I use a rooted sensation and I have experienced that same problem on one ROM. If the problem is really that bad, try going the rooted way.

I had got a HTC ChaCha last month but founded that the system reloading itself very frequently, especially the first few slide after the screen lock is released. This happened since open box.
When i said "reloading"...i refer to 2 observation.
1. the phone went black off and then restart back as it is restarted from power button. It show HTC home screen (the one with HTC logo when the phone is on) and then LOADING is shown in the middle of the screen with inactivated Phone's home screen as background .
2. Similar to 1st observation but it doesn't reload from the HTC logo screen.
I uploaded a clip to visualize this. But was not allowed to post external link yet.
Please search in youtube for "lynessmy ChaCha"
Is this a problem? Any solution to this annoying "problem" or should i just accept as it?
The problem you are having is a HTC Sense bug. The Sense is crashing at some point, failing to wake itself up, therefore HTC Sense (only) restarts. That's the reason you are seeing the top status bar with the clock and stuff. Get the latest SW or a custom mod.
A couple of weeks ago, I installed the ICS update on my sensation.
Initially I was impressed, nice look, New features and so on.
Now I'm really starting to regret performing the update. So far I have found the following issues.
1. On boot the "Upgrading Android... Optimizing applications" message appears every time
2. eBay app forgets login details & settings
3. Internet browser is slow, zooming & panning is choppy and random browser shutdowns
4. "Process system is not responding" error message often shows after booting
5. Ringtones & notifications keep returning to default
6. Backlight becoming stuck at max, this still occurs with log graph brightness tool
7. Battery life is considerably worse than before, I'm now lucky to get a through an 8 hour day with the phone just idling in my pocket plus the occasional call or email.
8. Sometimes phone will just shut down when battery charge is around 50%, will not fully restart, when plugging in to charger and booting battery level is 2-5%, this often happens when launching Draw Something & sometimes just web browsing.
As you can imagine this is somewhat annoying. Having owned HTC phones for a long time, having had bad experiences with a touch pro2, I started to loose faith in HTC, then I got the sensation, it was brilliant, now since installing ICS I'm beginning to loose faith again.
Anyone know what I might be able to do to sort this out?
My handset is for the Asian market and I'm on orange UK, it has the stock Rom & has never been rooted or anything else like that.

My mate had exactly the same issues. I advised him to do a factory reset which he reports has resolved all the issues.
I advise you try the same.
Thanks, today the phone became almost unusable unless plugged in to the charger so I called HTC support, they advised the same, which didn't fix it, so I called again and was advised to clear the cache partition. It seems to be fine now, although the browser performance is still a bit poor.

I have the same problem, my sensation get random shutdowns after charge goes below 50%, nowadays it is totally unstable at low battery levels.Also even if battery level is more than 50%,phone shuts down if i take a photo with flash on.I wiped out the 'cache partition' as described, but the problem exist, please help.........
Ok its been a while since the problem first happened & I should probably have posted my findings. I found the problem to be caused by using cheap aftermarket batteries from eBay, on switching back to the genuine HTC battery the problem seems to have been completely solved.
I've since tried to use the aftermarket battery & it started dropping out again.
Hope this is of some help to you all.

The reboot issue may be solved by sliding a piece of paper between the top of the battery an phone. It's a loose connection issue. Aftermarket batteries tend not to fit as well. There are guides as to how to do it. I can't link them as I'm on my phone. That *should* solve reboot issues.

I am a regular visitor to this forum, and for the first time I have registered and in need of help. I am having an issue with the Samsung i727 just bought used on the internet.
It has kernel: 3.08
Baseband: I727UCLF6
Android Version: 4.0.4
Build Number IMM76D.UCLF6
My problem is that each time I touch the power/lock button, it does not take me to the home screen. It takes me to the Security Page. This also happens if I am surfing the web, sending or reading a message, even on a phone call! Everything else is working normally.
It is so annoying, can anyone help?
What do you mean by security page? Screen lock perhaps?
FYI, pressing power usually turns off the screen for me and pressing it back turns it back on right away, and holding down the power button for about 10-12 seconds totally shuts it off.

I clearly understand that. Even if I am watching a movie on the phone it just pops in the security window or page. Please see attached image.
Sounds like your button mapping is off. I'd go here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 and restore fresh to stock and see if it corrects your issue. I know that you're already on stock firmware, bit it seems as though the seller may have modified the button mapping and didn't revert it before selling you the phone.
