That feature is provided by Bricked Kernel, which is available for HTC Sensation( i know because i had HTC sensation before and already tried it. However, i don't know if it available for others devices or not.) It is really cool and convenient for big phones like 1S, sensaton cause it is hard to reach the power button, which is located at the top of device. "Bricked" just a name, i believe.
My brother has the HTC sensation and 1s and sensation both 4.3 inch but The one s width is a lot more than the sensation so in fact harder to get to the power button one s long and thin sensation small and fat don't take it the wrong way lol if any1 got anything similar to swrep2wake pls upate me on here thnx

I`ve been looking everywhere to find a solution but didn`t found one. To be more precise, both sensors (proximity and light) work occasionally,sometimes they work just fine and then suddenly stop working.
I`m using Andro Sensor to check the sensors and there is "Waiting for event" message for both light and proximity.
I don`t think it`s a hardware problem as they were working when bought the phone and they still work occasionally.My phone is rooted and i`m on latest ARHD now with Sebastian kernel.Maybe someone knows how to fix this as it`s very annoying (automatic brightness and capacitive backlights not working because of this as well).Any help would be much appreciated.
You mean like this?
Lol same issue here.
I contacted htc and they wanted me to send it in for repair. But they said it may be due to water dammage. (I never gave my phone near water and the sticker under the battery is still white.) The rep told ne if it is due to water damage it may be expensive to fix. What I'm gonna do is just pay the 130$ deductable to my insurance company and get a new one.

do your capacitive buttons light up as well ? or is it just the sensor thats the problem ??.

They light up only if i`m forcing them with LeeDroid Twekas mod or when the sensors work again.But when the light sensor is not working they will light.

...will NOT light.sorry
Yep why i ask is because it happens to me also exact same problem, i had a temp work around with ICS 3.6 roms with putting tinfoil or something under the shell and covering the sensor, this would present a low light signal to the sensor and some how enable the capacitive lights but still ****s the sensor and or proximity.
Sometimes it will work depending on the boot, it will either work on boot or not never changes while the rom is running.
Now i must try the leedroid tweeks as i can stand my capacitives not working but yes must be a widespread problem if people are having the exact same issues.
found it, bummer its for 3.6 only.
I have the exact same problem as you described, but since 6 months. It really sucks to pay 430€ (~650$) for a device which isn't working as it should. I don't want to send my phone to repair and wait for it 3 weeks. So I have to cope with it.
That's a plus for the S3 to be my next phone.

It`s very frustrating as it`s an known HTC issues and no one can do anything about it.To send it back and wait forever it`s ridiculous.
Thats why i refrained from sending it myself, i need a phone cant expect us to wait and wait for a repair. Should be a straight swap for being a known issue.

Sadly this is my thought as well. And I was a huge htc fan. I used to boast how good the phone is / was but now it starting to feel more of a burden.
My issues
1. Proximity / ambient light sensor doesn't work properly anymore.
2. Usb stopped working? Wtf still charges though
3. Design flaws. (Ok this used to be one of the phones biggest assets. But going through 3 back covers because the stupid volume buttons keep breaking is crazy.)
4. The tinny sound when you are recording video.
5. The blutooth stacks don't allow connection with the ps3 or Wii controllers.
Hate to turn this into a rant.... :banghead:

Why I'm going with the insurance way rather than htc. Those MFs told me that I have to pay for both shipping and recieving, plus is if there is any sort of damage outside of what they cover its gonna cost me starting around 85$ or something like that. Than it may take a few days to get it back to me.
While I can just pay like $140 and have a new phone in like 2 days.

what are you claiming it as, accidental damage etc ??. With my insurance company i would have to get proof of the damage via a qualified technician and get a certificate from him.

My insurance company is asurion and I filed my claim online. I think I clicked malfunction or accidental damage don't really remember did the filing a couple days ago. All I have to do is send that to old phone, and they will send me a new one.

Same problem here to,
Tried everything,and yes it depends on boot.
Try to do factory reset in TOTAL dark.
It worked till next boot...
I think i maybe got it after Sebastian kernel ?
Still puzzeling....
And same problem here with ARHD 6.5.3 XE...
Maybe later I'll try super wipe and different kernel (I got sebastian's currently).
EDIT:
In AndroSensor I got "waiting for event" instead of "failed to start". Someone knows what it means?

Same here.Very disappointing as at seems there is no solution for this issue.
After Flashing CoinDroid 5.0.2 I noticed that my capacitive buttons no longer activate when I directly press them. The triggers for each button seem as though they are between the screen and the correct location of the buttons. I have tried reflashing the latest firmware, superwipe (the zip file and from 4ext), and other roms. I have run out of ideas. I have attached a picture showing where the buttons "appear" to be. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Is your screen broken there at the bottom? Could be that...

[Solved] Warranty Covered this Issue
I sent the phone back to HTC. They will cover this under warranty. Make sure to flash the stock RUU that came with your phone if you are going to send it back.
Hello
I am new to the skyrocket and I like it so far ... My only concern is the longevity of the power button coming from a bad experience with a previous Samsung android device Nexus S regarding the power button failure , So :
Completely bone stock Skyrocket on 2.3.6 , unrooted ... I don't use any PIN or style to unlock , my unlock pattern is NONE or immediate setting...I don't care about locking the screen as I use this which is absolutely perfect :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5kcm9pZG1hbmlhLmxvY2tzY3JlZW53aWRnZXQiXQ..
What is the best tool/widget/app (in term of function,no ad,consistency,and not eating my battery) that can UNLOCK the screen without touching the power button ? it's fine for me to just bring the screen on by vol rocker maybe or the proximity sensor...
Thanks

Hi,
My HTC HD2 Hardkeys have a little problem. exactly CALL key button. when you press it, it doesn't pushed in and you should press harder to work it.
At the latest months the HOME button has the same problem, but it repaired autoself! in the other word it go backed in its place! FINE!
I want to open my phone and repaire it myself. but need a video for (dis)assemblying it...
There is many videos about how (dis)assemblying completly, but i want one specialized for Hardkeys, not more! for example in a video the phone (dis)assembled in too parts, and the Hardkey was the latest parts!

Thanks

First of all I'd like to know if the only solution to touchscreen problem is screen change...
In this case I'll try to change it alone, I saw some youtube video and It seems to be easy....
ach sintech touchscreen .... 70 euro....:silly::silly:

Change touchscreen and screen both. You can destroy the display very easy. So the 70€ are a good price for good quality.

Guys... I believe I found a little piece of software (on another forums) that might make all of our troubles go away
This is from Lignja (earlier comment):
if you have touchscrean and swipe problems on your sensation, download SGS touchscreen booster from market, install it, press on super optimized, and pull first 3 collums on end left, and 2 last on end right, then press apply... your sensation will worke like a charm, you wont have any swipe problems or locking ring... then you can test it and turn back ond defult or uninstal that application and it will still work... hope it helps you like it helped to me... soz for bad english..
I'm testing it now... so far it's working... fingers crossed
