I tried this on my lock screen and it worked.

Try it at own risk, I am not responsible for any problems. It worked for me
This is my second sensation with the same issue. I got my second sensation approximately 6 days ago, after my first sensation developed the lock screen issues. Well today I started to experience the same lock screen issues that plagued my first sensation. Well I did a little checking around and I think I might have found a solution to the problem. I have an app installed called mybackup pro. I have been using this app for a while and it has come in real handy in restoring my phone. There is a free version available in the market. I used the paid version. I opened mybackup pro, and I just like to say that I DON'T HAVE anything to do with the app in regards to any monetary gain, basically I just use the app. I opened the ap, i clicked on cancel for the password, clicked on back up, data, local (/mnt/sdcard) check all, and let it back up all the settings. Well I went into my settings/applications/manageapplications/all. i then clicked on the first htc sense tab and cleared the data. You will be prompted with something to the pop up stating that all the applications data will be permanently deleted. I clicked ok and then clicked on the second htc sense tab and did the same thing. You will notice that all your widgets and everything will be deleted from your phone. I rebooted my phone and then opened mybackup pro and clicked on restore, data, local (/mnt/sdcard), data and the most resent date, I ONLY CHECKED MARKED SYSTEM SETTINGS, ANDROID HOME, AND CLICKED ON OK. Let it do its thing and when it is finished it will ask you to reboot your phone. Your phone should be extremely close to the way you had it before (widget wise). And in my case my lock screen is working again. I hope this helps anyone else. Again, It worked for me.

Holy wall of text batman

Please update this thread periodically even if your method doesn't work.
Did this allow sense to operate more smoothly on your device?

I don't even understand what the issue was meant to be in the first place!!

Sorry for the long entry but i was trying to be as specific as i possibly could for everyone, and yes my lock screen responds perfectly.
This post was meant for anyone experiencing lockscreen unresponsiveness on their phones.

I already tried clearing the data from both Sense applications and then rebooted my phone. I didn't make a back up of everything so Sense was back to the way it came from the factory. Long story short. It didn't work for me. I still had the lock screen issue.

also another trick to faulty lockscreen found on another post, when the phone lay flat on table lock seems to be trouble to unlock unless u pick the phone up in ur hands...but if u have it laying on table flat and grab left side of lock and drag it to the left and the up it works everytime for me...seems the left part of the lockscreen is always ok lol (something to do with phone being grounded)

Ok, the only difference is that I restored my settings using mybackup pro. Could that have been the difference.

I think the way the app and ring move together is what causes the lock issue. I think its just the physics of the ring/app moving together causing the issue. Thats my guess. Other than the lockscreen buggy I have no touch screen issues. YOU?

Wifi problem and as of today the lock screen issue started. He lockscreen issue has been resolved.

Yup, I think I agree with that. There are some issues that just don't make any sense though. Why does it become responsive after touching the ring two to three times. It will stay responsive like it should until you turn the display off. I just can't wrap my finger around it.

Could it be something with sense?

Probably is. I seriously don't know why everyone praises HTC. They are going in the wrong direction with Sense. Instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive with SENSELESS eye candy. HTC needs to take a page out of Samsung's book in my opinion. There making there UI (Touch Wiz) less intrusive but still keeping the features that make Android better.
Sorry to say but this 3D eye candy isn't making anything better and it's quite obvious HTC half assed Sense 3.0.

LOL, Well comming from 6 G2X this is an upgrade. Hahahaha

Hey, I came from 4 G2X's. Then again, I'm on my 3rd Sensation. Hopefully it doesn't make it to 4.

Are you charging this via the stock charger, or via USB pc? If using a wall charger is the outlet grounded or the old two prong style outlet? I had this issue when using the stock charger in an ungrounded outlet when I was at a friends house for the week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Yes i am using the stock charger

I don't know if this works for you guys .. but I had that lockscreen issue as well. I noticed that when I play with my wifes phone its perfectly smooth and unlocks with a single swipe. And she can unlock mine easily and never been a problem.The only thing difference is that she didn't take off that screen protector. I have oily skin type so I guess it must be my finger getting sticky. Went to tmobile and got a screen protector and it solves all the problem. Sounds silly but it worked for me and I haven't had a single lockscreen issue in four days as opposed to 4 out of five times before. Hope this helps ..

White HTC screen after exiting to home

As the subject says, whenever I exit an app or the browser, it goes to the white htc screen and then it says loading for abt 15 second and it'll take me back home. Anyone know what causes this?

Are you using a task killer?
Sounds suspiciously like rosie is being killed by something every time it goes to the background.

it's a RAM issue! I solved it by uninstalling the new Market App (I cannot use the new functionality here in Europe, anyway) and other services that I didn't used that I had running in the background!
Problem solved!
With all the love I have for my Sensation, I feel HTC should have gone with more memory!!

How can I get the old market back?

I would have to say it's HTC's over-bloated Sense that is the problem. With CM7 I always have 300-200 Mb of unused memory. I can run games, videos, anything memory intensive and still never use it all.
As for the white screen when hitting home... It's a memory issue with Sense. I would get that back when I ran stock ROM.

Multitasking?

Hey guys. I've noticed that although the ram on my phone is pretty good multitasking is absolutely appauling. An app will stay open for ten minutes. Approximately maximum before it just ends up closing although it still shows it as running. I want multitasking like ios where once you open the app it will stay open forever until you manually close it. Is there any rom or kernel or anything that will provide me with such a multitasking experience. I wouldn't mind the battery I have an anker 1900.

If u push back while ur in the app it will close...u have to make sure u push the home button.
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G

I do but just a few minutes the app will close in the background. I was browsing the web and switched to email. To send three and the Facebook. Altogether about 8 minutes and when I switched back to the internet it had to reload and went to the homescreen. The multitasking in the HTC sensation is awful.

Not sure what to tell you... that's not my experience at all. I find that when I start the browser, it is left at a page I had looked at yesterday! It seems to me that thinks almost never get closed...

Back button leads to mytouch startup screen

I don't know if the phone is supposed to do this or what, but it only does it every once in awhile.
I hit the back button or home button, and it goes to the white mytouch screen, and reloads everything. Its real annoying, and takes 15-20 seconds to start back up. Is this a legit problem? Or is this how it is supposed to be.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

Mine does that too sometime. Only when I just got done using a cpu intensive app though usually.

Are u on virtuous quatro

Not even rooted. All stock. It just did it.. lol. It goes back to the mytouch screen for about five seconds then opens the homepage for about ten seconds and says "loading".
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

I hear what you are saying with an "cpu intensive" app, but this is a dual core phone!! I had my g2 overclocked to 1.2ghz, and it never did that.. surely there is a problem with this phone.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

The problem is the phone dont have enough RAM to keep home in the memory, being dual core has nothing to do with it, HTC is still setting some memory options too aggresive so home gets killed out for all the other apps to run. All this is things that can be changed with a little scripting and some build.prop edits

That makes a little more sense. I mean, the cpu in these phones should never be overloaded. The first thing I noticed when I got my phone was that, and wondered why it did it. Surely in testing they had to have seen it, then that leads to the question, why release an unfinished product? They spit these phones out like nothing, with what seems little to no testing. Pretty pathetic, for the people who spend hundreds of dollars on these little devices expecting a superior product. Maybe that's why they are handing them out like candy to all of us g2 owners.

I'd say, root the phone and load up the MIUI port on your phone, it's the most stable rom for now, every other rom i tried, I keep getting these reboots and they get annoying. However, i'm still waiting for virtuous team to roll out a steady and stable rom for this phone

then your on the newest radio...from the latest OTA update.....thats not stable with most Roms/kernels flash this radio http://a.22aaf3.com/doubleshot/radio/10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07/PG59IMG.zip

Factory reset....most likely your kernel wasn't installed properly

I don't think a factory reset re-installs the kernel does it?
I thought it just wipes all the data?

Aokp home button acting up

So today my sensation running aokp started acting weird, basically whenever I touched the home button it makes a click noise and the screen goes white then back to the app I was in. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot it.
Does anyone know why this would happen and how I could prevent it?
Thanks in advance for your help

Bump. Does no one know why?
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app

looks like a software bug.
if u use a custom rom try reflashing after backing up ur data.
a nandroid is also recommended.
if u are on stock... send it to htc
