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

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 ..

problems with messaging

I have this weird problem, whenever i text with friends, if i respond back within a minute and the time is the same, then my message will go above my friends message. But if i message back like 1 minute later then it goes below. So i only have the problem if i manage to message back within a minute and before the clock change.
Anyone else have the problem? I allready updated my phone to newest.
And after i did update my phone (did it through the post in the forum here) it wiped my phone complete, so i guess making another reset wont work maybe.

Yeah that's weird, doesn't happen to me at all, no matter when I reply

My friend told me he had the error too on his HTC Hero when he used that.
So i guess it's either a Android or Sense problem. But i'm not sure what to do to fix it, if it's even possible lol.

I also read that sometimes the SGS1 would do that too, but there was no fix that I saw for it. It had something to do with the way the phone time-stamped the messages...
It is "inconvenient" but is it really a big deal? they are just messages after all...

Well no it's not that big a deal, since i have had it for some time now. But it can be annoying sometimes.

Got this problem on my wildfire. Not a big problem.

Neither of those threads have anything to do with the OP, bowers131.
Both of those threads have to do with the weird occurrences of SMS messages being randomly sent to other people, nothing to do with the placement (chronologically) of the posts which are in fact going to the correct person.

I also have it and had it with multiple phones also on wm phone:-o
I think its a operator thing

Mine definitely does this. I was thinking it might be related to me having a huge number of messages from one person in particular. Are most of you experiencing this working with a large number of messages.?

Have you tried SMS Timestamp Fix from market? It usually fixes it, since it's usually a sense issue, been going on like that since the HD2 WinMo. And some desire builds I've used.

Sensation restarting

I'm having problem with this phone. The phone will restart constantly especially during calls, which becomes extremely annoying. Anyone know a fix or a reason why this is happening?

Hi,
You need to provide some information,like:
ROM
Kernel
Radio
Mods
Themes
Etc.

Everything is stock I haven't rooted or anything.

Hi,
Sorry then.
Not much that I can suggest,because you cannot get "under the hood" as it were ,without root.
I would be dubious about rooting the phone or anything,if it's not working properly out of the box.
You might consider sending it back.

When you say restarting, is it just stopping everything and showing the HTC screen before loading sense again? If so, it's because the phone doesn't have enough memory. Delete some apps, and if that still doesn't help, download a different launcher from the market.

I never had any restarting issues, but in the past three days the phone has restarted itself (completely restarted, not just the lag getting back to the home screen) randomly at least six times that I know of.
Other than the Amazon App Store, I'm not aware of any software updates that I've downloaded or installed in the last week. Anyone else have this issue just crop up in the past couple of days?
Mine has randomly restarted while it was in my pocket, and twice as I moved the unlock ring to the middle of the screen to use the phone.
Edited to add: I'm running a stock phone from T-Mobile with Android 2.3.4.
HTC Sense version 3.0
Software number 1.45.531.1
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g3422292

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?

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

POOF!

POOF!

I've been waiting for this. Thanks. I will report back soon! Downloading now. First!

Awwww. I just had a similar experience. I dropped mine down a service elevator shaft... Don't ask. I still don't know how it happened. So far so good on the ROM. I'll tinker more in the morning.

Hi, not is just me but screenshot not working, power+home.
When doing the picture, the keyboard does not show smile icon etc, just dark keyboard. That's all I found so far

LOL I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be the first to try this out. XD

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Yeah, it's a good thing I always keep rice in the house in easy reach. But the phone is fine except that neither camera works. Pretty annoying seeing as the camera is so awesome on the HOS.

Will be definitely trying this, I was wondering, you think this might help my losing signal issues, getting the X all the time it's driving me nuts lol. I am with Cincinnati Bell but i think they work through T-mobile. Anyway thanks for this bud much appreciated.

ROM looks great man, downloading now and will flash tomorrow. Hope I don't have the WiFi issue anymore, reaaally wanna use this

I'm having the same gps problem I have with Viper; when you go to a site thru Chrome that desires location access, gps never turns on! It turns on for Maps and other things when you test it, but not through Chrome. Browser works tho, strangely...

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.

I think I may have found the issue with Chrome...I believe I deleted a ChromeBackgroundSync apk on accident. This may be causing the issue...maybe not, but I'll put it back and test. If it works I'll release an update tonight...if I'm not lost in Double XP Weekend on Black Ops 2
