Mine does also after a few days of uptime. A restart fixes it for another few days.

Mine are not working properly, can't get any readings from them. Hardware is fine, checked the chipsets myself. I tried some fixes from others but nothing works correctly. I even ran the HTC RUU of ICS (From EU) and supposedly reset the phone back to 100% default....same ****. Something in the 3.32 firmware is killing the sensors and its happening with TONS of people I know on here EU and US also.
I regret unlocking the phone now :-(

Words with Friends on HTC One S is PAINFULLY slow

Has anyone tried playing Words With Friends on their new One S yet? It works, but as the title suggests, it's painfully slow when trying to return to the game from the ads after taking my turn (if there was a paid version I would buy it to avoid this). And it even tries to force close! I'm using the most recent version - 4.83.
Just curious if anyone else is having the same experience?
Thanks y'all.

It's probably an issue with the app on ICS rather than your specific model. I haven't played it yet on my phone but I remember even on my SGS2 it started to get annoyingly laggy!

Thanks unclespoon. I have to admit - I never considered for a moment that it was actually a problem with the One S. That phone RULES. I just wondered if others had a similar experience.
Hopefully it will get optimized for the One S and other ICS devices sometime soon.

Works fine on my Ville..

It doesn't ever sort of stutter or time out on the way back in from the ads? Do you have the newest version of the app? Maybe I'll uninstall/reinstall?
Anyone else out there?

Try going to app info and clearing data/cache. Never seems to stutter at all for me.

Tried this. It's somewhat better, but not smooth. It was never perfect, but it didn't try to force close either. Got one more force close this AM after clearing the data/cache. Still stumped on this one.

I picked up the One S a few days ago...same issues for me, including the FC when it gets tired of waiting. Definitely not the phone--the phone is sick as hell. It was the one to finally knock my HD2 off its perch, and I haven't looked back yet (though I did keep the old girl as CM9 and ICS are still being developed at a nice clip for that device).

Couldn't agree more. It's definitely not the phone. The phone RULES! At everything except WWF, apparently.

I am still waiting for my 1s but playing on my sensation with ics I had the same issue making me believe it it's the OS not the phone

That's an interesting point that it might be that it's bad with ICS - not the phone itself (which rules).
Thanks!

Crazy Backbutton

Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint
Hit the thanks button if i helped

Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.

Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..

I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved

I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

What kernel were you using?

It was not the Kernel!
Changing the radio solved the problem.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:

Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.

CMX Hangs

Every once in awhile I'll notice my Sensey's soft keys are lit up and I can't do anything on the phone. pressing the lock/wake button does nothing and I need to do a battery pull to get into my phone again. Holding the lock/wake key doesn't even reboot at all.
Is this a firmware or kernel problem? Any fixes?
(I realize that I worded that terribly, my apologies.)

It could be a software issue, I say this because this has happened to me on different roms, then when I flashed a different Rom the issue was solved. I'm not sure other than flashing a different Rom, how to remedy the situation. In my case this is how I fixed it when that happened to me. You might want to post this on the Rom developers site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. Perhaps they might have a fix if it's a known problem. I wish you the best ! Hopefully you can remedy this situation easily. I'm fairly certain flashing a different Rom will cure the issue. At least it did in my situation. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Um...I'm sure you're new to this.
The bug aren't fully fixed yet. Reboots and hangs are obviously expected.
Nothing wrong with Kernel cuz there's no jellybean kernel for us YET.
So the ROMs are still buggy.
I suggest you wait a week or 2 for all bug fixes.
Meanwhile, try a Sense ROM or an ICS aosp based ROM. :sly:

Alright, fair enough.
I wouldn't consider myself new to this at all. I've had my sensation since September last year and I've done my fair share of flashing and helping others out. I just thought I'd ask because I didn't see it discussed anywhere and thought I was the only one having this particular issue. I searched the ROM thread and found nothing and I searched this Q&A forum and didn't find anything so I thought I'd ask. Is that so wrong?

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off system sounds in the settings option. Just turn all the sounds off and you should bee good to go

Cm10 is a beta work in progress. This is a known bug, not something you are doing wrong.
Be patient as the rom continues to develop.
