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?
Hi
just want to ask if anybody have encountered my problem with htc sensation.
my phone reboots and/or shuts off intermittently.
i had it fixed on the service center but still the problem persist.
i ask what action did they do, according to them they just re-flash it.
after a week the problem re-surfaces, would like to ask about your opinion on how to fix it. thanks in advance

are you running custom roms?
Got the same problem and i know one other Person who does. Problem stopped appearing for some time and now its back worse than ever with random shutdowns even during calls. Running Stock HTC ROM not rooted or anything. Found some clues on the internet that it might be caused by a SW Update that came from HTC. Nothing for sure though. All i know is that i am seriously looking for another device at the moment. HTC and Android devices are annoying me more and more lately. No Official Updates (or they take 6 months), Compatibility Issues... The list grows longer every day. I used to love Android Phones, especially the HTC Ones but they appear to be stuck.

you have just been unlucky...i'm running custom roms and sometimes i get random reboot but now it is all ok!
send it back!
I had exactly this problem, phone kept turning off at random. Mine was totally stock, first time I sent it back they re-flashed but it started turning off again after about 2 weeks. I sent it back again, they changed the motherboard and its been working fine since then (touch wood!).
Also had random shutdowns. Got a new battery and the problem was gone. But now 4 months in on the new battery same thing starts to happen again. Beginning to thinks there's something wrong with the power management.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
there is actually an issue on the power management, which is fixed with the ics update. If you can wait , you'll get an update from htc
if you cant, go ahead and flash a custom ics rom
I had the same problem before I bought a new battery and i hope it wont come back when the battery gets older. The problem was with 2G networks. If you turn the mobile network to WCDMA (3/4G) only in the settings, the phone shouldn't shut down. I hope the ICS update completely solves this
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
I had the same problem as well. I flashed ICS and it would still shut off. I noticed it wouldn't ever shut off if it was just sitting on my desk except one time it shut off when on my desk and someone called and my phone vibrated. Turns out the battery connection wasn't tight enough and when moved around, it would lose power. I folded a small piece of paper to make the battery fit tighter and it hasn't shut off since (about a month)
Hi all, I have gone through this problem... I have done all troubleshootings S-off S-On different roms new sim car everything even flashed by service station not helped...on solution for random shut down for me was changing motherboard and after they changed my motherboard I haven't faced single issue... get board changed.
Issues
1) random shutdown
2)while calling some shuts down
3)If it shuts down it will again shut down imd. on 2-3 attempts then start properly.
4) when screen is off and u push power button u find phone down
5) Random shut down some time imd or it will not happen for for next 8-9 hrs.
Get mother board changed.
I was experecing the same issue.
Random reboots or random shut down !
Never when my phone is charging, only when it is on battery.
But I'm trying something, the auto brigthness ! I desactivate auto brigthness, for the moment no ramdon reboots or shut down anymore, was testing 2 days now ! Perhaps try this solution !

Try to remove micro sd card,test the phone and if it does work ok change the card,that was my solution.
3 users in my office are seeing this
3 sensation users in my office are seeing this too, the UE "powers up" when you attempt to wake the screen i'm taking logcat but i'm yet to determine if the phone is powering off at some time when the screen is off or when you attempt to wake it.
i am seeing the battery stats are all over the place after it boots up.
this does not happen when it is being charged.
the logcat from my phone sometimes say a process has crashed (latest 03-06 17:06:18.995 I/ActivityManager( 321): Process com.htc.ereader.drmengine (pid 2742) has died.) but not in the majority of my logs they just appear to stop,
if anyone is proficient at logcat analysis i can share a log taken of a failure.
the 3 users in my office have:
1X S off and ICS ARHD
1X S off and ICS (trips)
1X S off GB unbranded
any help would be gratefully received
**EDIT**
having just pressed the power button to wake the screen(19:00) the phone booted again i was able to check the logcat log file and it stopped logging at 18:02 so it appears to be crashing when going into sleep or when in sleep mode rather than when the wake command is issued
also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500966 looks like the same issue.
Same problem on HTC Sensation with ICS
Hi,
Sorry to crush your hopes for ICS solving the problem but I'm running Android Revolution 6.5.0, a custom ICS ROM, on my Sensation and I'm having the same problem. Never had it with the stock ROM, though.
Also, it's never happened when plugged-in or when the battery is full. Seems to me that it shuts down more frequently when the battery level gets lower.
Anyone experience it the same way?
Anyone solved the problem by replacing the battery?
Cheers,
Stefan
Hi
any news about this?. Is this problem caused by a hardware failure finally?
Thank you!.

Well I got my battery replaced. Worked fine for about 3 months. Now the issue is back. I think it has something to do with the power management on the phone wearing down the battery. When I plug in my charger I feel electricity in the back cover and a humming sound in my headphones. Somethings wrong with the hardware. Going to send my phone in now

I get a weird humming feeling too, like a vibration as you run your finger over the back. Whats also weird is that if im holding the phone and then someone runs their finger on my hand, they also feel the static/vibration feeling. However as soon as I put the phone down the vibration feeling goes. Its so weird, if I send the phone off I'll be phoneless for weeks!
Very simple solution
Hi guys,
Most of us (myself included) are sometimes blinded by our knowledge of custom roms to not try the most obvious fix for this finally very simple issue...
I have a park of about 20 HTC sensation on my company and had the problem on several of them (mine is running a CM9 nightly , but all the others are stock). Had the motherboard/battery replaced on some of them, tried many settings (and on my phone, different roms) but it only offered a temporary and random improvement. I found the solution on a forum and I'm ashamed I never found it earlyer as it's so simple:
Remove your back cover and place a spacer (the thickness of one or two visit cards) between the top side (right part, just opposite to the connector) border of the battery and the chassis. This will ensure that the battery presses a bit harder on the connector. Without the spacer, you may notice that the battery is in a slightly skewed position, not totally parallel with the compartiment and therefore not pressing hard enough on the connector. We never had an unexpected shutdown since then !!!
So a few months ago I dropped my phone and it landed face down. Cracked the screen (which sucks because I even had a case on it) and since then the vibrate function on the phone comes and goes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it does work it's usually very weak. It has to be a hardware problem of course.. I've even restored my phone a few times since the incident and nothing has changed. But what would I replace to fix it? I'm about to replace the glass digitizer so I figured I'd do both things at once but I can't find a vibrate motor or anything related to it for this phone. Is it possible when I dropped my phone it caused a connection to my motherboard to loosen that is causing this?
Either like you said, the connection is loose or the motor just died out.
I'd say when you take apart the phone, test the motor out with a battery. A simple negative and positive wire connection should do.
I don't think the motor is connected to the mainboard instead has contacts to the board where it draws its power from. Then again, that's back when I used to take apart iPhones. It could be different.

I have same problem after drop, no vibration. I sent for warranty and they fixed it. They told the the problem was just software issues, not hardware.
I try to reflash a few time but don't solve the vibration issues, don't know how they solve this.

I would do the same, but I have to remove the warranty stickers to replace the digitizer and I'm sure they'd deny me warranty service with a cracked screen. Did you tell them that you had dropped it?

I bought my sensation XE off ebay last week and it arrived with no vibration at all. tried loads of settings and wiped the phone and started again but nothing worked. So i was about to tell the ebay seller that i was sending back becuase it wasnt working correctly.
but before i did that i read around on various forums and found that a few people had, had this problem from new with their sensations. i read quite a few responses saying they had dropped their phone by accident and the vibration started working again for them. So i sat on my floor and dropped it repeatedly a few times from about a foot (30cm) off the ground - and heypresto... it works now!!!!!
I havent accepted it might stop again but i guess ill just drop it again a couple of times if it stops again.

I took that back cover off and lightly banged my phone against my knee a few times and it started working again and was working very strong for a few minutes. I guess I'll just deal with it. Does anyone know if this will work with my phone? It's a T-mobile Sensation manufactured 5-31-11. I don't know how to find the model number to see if it's compatible but I've heard if you don't get the right one specifically for the T-mobile version of the Pyramid you'll run into problems.

Is your phone in warranty?
can you give us some basic information? such like rom & kernel version, wether you rooted and ade using cputuningtools or something like that.
if you are under stock rom(original samsung & all further updates over kies) and u have done nothing unnormally so far i would recommend use the warranty too; )

Agree. :good:
I'll wait for a few weeks or till the phone is usable for the kernel 3.0. :fingers-crossed:
If not then no other option but create a Rs.5000 hole in my pocket. :crying:
Same case with me... Bought the i9003 March 2011.
I'm on DDKP3 and around the same time as the OP, my touchscreen started to act strange... responsive only when charger is plugged in. Tried factory reset, but problem came back after some hours!
If this is a product-wide issue, then I guess sammy should replace it for free, even if it's out of warranty... too busy to go to the nearest service cenrter, will check later.
Till then, please keep me updated how it goes for you.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
Just wondering, if a reflash of DDKP3 via ODIN or any custom ROM would solve the issue... please suggest.
I guess the sensitivity settings (or something like that) has changed without you knowing. Don't know if it is the same as s2 but in s2, sensitivity of the phone not plugged in the charger and plugged in has different settings. So maybe the settings for it in your case (unplugged) has changed but not on the plugged in settings. It's all in the kernel btw.

Same problem!!!
It happened last week when my phone surprisingly started showing this problem. After unlocking the phone the screen becomes unresponsive. In my case it is just 1-2 secs after unlocking the phone.
It lasted for a day, I tried flashing different ROMs. I was on XXKPE when it happened. And than suddenly my phone started working fine until yesterday when this thing again happened and the problem still persists (I am still on KPE). I dont know what to do.
I think it can be some software problem as the screen and touch keys do work for some time before becoming unresponsive and even the logcat shows no problems for the touch screen. I am going to try more ROMs now. Will keep you posted.
Possible solution !!!
Friends, I think I found a possible solution for this issue. Though it seems to work for me... I have to keep the phone under observation for some days until I can say it's the final solution.
A similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695149
The possible cause for the touch screen going unresponsive seems not to be a hardware/software glitch; but environmental issue! And it doesn't depend on the ROM your'e running.
I noticed that most people from India having this issue say that this problem started in June, when the rainy season starts and it gets humid and damp.
In fact my phone showed this issue when it had rained for the last 2 days and it was very damp and humid inside the house.
You can do the following:
1. Take out the back cover, memory card, SIM and battery.
2. Place the backside of the phone near a hot air source (on top of a running CRT TV/monitor, hairdryer, laptop fan vent) for sometime.
3. Reassemble and check if the problem has gone away.
Do not panic if the handset gets a bit hot in the process!
In my case, I left it on the top grille of a CRT TV for a day which ran for 8hrs.
Do let me know if this works for you...

Touch Screen non-responsive Problem
I had the same issue and when i dismantlement the thing, came across a small batter. could this be the reason? Cos while charging this battery is not used but when running with battery, this small dry typed batter can be in use.
Found Any Solution
Could any 1 find a solution for this matter?
If so pls. update. Mine is still there.
I can't get rid of it.
So my Nexus 5 (a couple months ago) has started to just randomly go black. I get notifications and stuff, and the backlight but no display. Not sure what to do or what part to replace. Would flashing/rooting help at all?
Appears to be a hardware problem.
Was the phone every dropped or exposed to water/moisture? Possible loose connection inside?
No way to tell for sure if the phone needs a new screen unless you are able to test the motherboard in another N5.

It's been dropped a couple times but not like any major drops or anything. Im pretty sure I checked all the connections inside and they were good. Im starting to figure out that the phone has to be off for a little bit then I have to charge it and turn it on and it works again
Sounds like it could be a damaged lcd or lcd connection. If it can work after being charged while powered off, could be battery or USB flex cable issue.

Ya I figured out I have to reboot it a bunch of times then it will work
I think it might be the battery because this is my dad's old phone so it's been in use for a solid 3 years.. I wish I knew for sure though
So I have discovered that if my screen is on for a while the task bar at the bottom starts to shift up and down
Have you found out more about this? I think I have the same problem. My phone never turns black while I use it. But when the screen is off/sleeping, it sometimes won't turn on again. So a force reboot fixes it. Sometimes this happens a lot, some times it works fine a whole day.

OK!
I could also mention that this happen every time I unlocked the lockscreen on stock ROMs, and custom. But nameless ROM for some reason got it to this point at least. If any one have black screen on unlocking the block screen, try nameless rom...

So what your saying is to try the rom and see if it fixes it? Can I have a link or something, I don't know much about roms

Maybe, I don't think so. My phone was useless, black screen on every screen unlock. But namelessrom took that away, so that tip about nameless was for those who have the same black screen I had earlier. But now I have the same black screens as you do. Anyway, if you want to try it out, nameless-rom.org

Happens with my nexus too. The screen goes blank randomly ..... But i have managed to deal with it.
Its happan to me also, with 4 nexus 5 of my family.
Is a firmware problem?
I'm trying to buy a new flex cable to see if it will help I'll update when I find out
You're replacing the USB charging flex cable? If you are, be careful with cheap third-party replacements as I have read reports of people having issues with charging, signal, or speaker functionality after installing the cable.

Have you found out more about this? I think I have the same problem. My phone never turns black while I use it. But when the screen is off/sleeping, it sometimes won't turn on again. So a force reboot fixes it. Sometimes this happens a lot, some times it works fine a whole day.

Ya so i sent it to LG finally and the diagnostic said that it was a flex cable issue which I was sure that it was anyway but I have a confirmation now
I've had a similar problem when my display suddenly started failing. First, there was colourful bands over the working display, then colourful static only and then black with backlight only. Bought a new phone, left it for a year and today after digging in the phone for a while I found a fix. The connection between the motherboard (the top bit) and the daughter board (the bit below battery with USB and connection to display) was somewhat loose and when pressed on, the display worked beautifully. I stuffed the insides with some tape to maintain pressure on the connection and phone works great.
Might not work for your problem, but it's worth a try if you're out of warranty and have tools to disassemble the phone.
