I have recently purchased a HTC sensation and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
After this It says "No signal" Which is 0 Bars
Is there anyway to fix this???
Thanks in advance!
I know this might seem silly but make sure all the gold points on the back cover are intact and meet up with the appropriate points in the phone. They are external antennae and you won't have a signal if they are bad.

They look good to me.....
Is there any way to see if they are broken?
Thanks!
Edit: I think if I change network It will be better, I am using giffgaff and whenever I go into network operators it says "Your sim doesn't allow this network".
Will it help trying a new network?
It could, make sure that they network you use is supports the frequency that the Sensation uses.

Try glancing around Google, I'm from the U.S. but it looks like several sensation users have had your same issue. http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/He...ection-on-my-HTC-sensation-phone/td-p/5396016
It looks like there were a few suggestions as to how you could get internet on the sensation.

I will try this out!
Anytime, let me know if it works. I'm curious as to why the network would behave that way.

He FOUND this phone.
His sim is probably inactive, that's why. Only in the US are the carriers required to let you on their network without service just for 911 calls. Other countries, not so much.
tried three different sims(active) but still with the same problem.
wifi works just fine etc
i belive its blocked.

Either the radio is busted, or you are in a country where they block stolen/lost phones.
I belive that is the case....
is it a way to unblock ?

Ill pay for your troubles.
You could call the carrier and try to find the owner. If you did that then you'd catch less heat on the forum and you can make a bid with the carrier to get it un-banned.

I believe that would be the correct answer.
thinking of coming back to the inspire but i want to make sure there are no cell signal issues with the inspire. have you all had any probs? how was it fixed?
Thank you
Why would u ask that? Did you?
I've never had any signal problem... I hardly have 5 notches out of 5 though even with 2 I m able to speak with no loss of quality...

gees...
Yeah, the signal strength with the stock radio for me is sub par as compared to the slew of other phones I have laying around here. Its always way down as compared to every other phone I have, even my iphone, which was the reigning king of crap signal. Maybe its possible to get a better signal with a different radio, I dont know? Its mainly just affected in building call performance, and definitely data performance. BUT I love this phone and am going to live with it. I have even thought about trying to rig up an antenna of some sort to experiment. I might try to solder a coil of wire onto the lower antenna/cover, probably wont work but I its an easy experiment.
btw I have tried different roms and reflashed the stocker a bunch of times experimenting with little to no change minus my gps randomly going away after some flashes.
Are we back in high school? What's with all these back and forth comments? Why not help the OP instead of going off topic?
And to reply to the OP, I personally haven't had any (cell) signal problems. The area you are in and how congested it is also a major factor.

I have had issues with the AT&T Microcell dropping calls using an unrooted, carrier unlocked, stock HTC Inspire. I have no resolution at this time.
Hey guys, I'm new to the Inspire sub-forum.
I was handed down this phone by a friend of mine, (phone only. no box) and it is a bit banged up. Enough so the wifi hardware is failing. (I'm assuming so because it doesn't work.) My question is, how do I go about repairing it? Should I take it to an AT&T store? Also, I have not yet rooted it.
Thanks in advance!
Try to reflash the stock ROM. Look for RUU in the inspire 4g forums.
Or, you can call HTC and see what they say. They might be able to do a warranty swap. Not sure if it'll work since you are not the original owner. Worth a shot though.

Thanks Kirk! Although flashing the stock ROM didn't fix it I appreciate your help. I will try calling HTC and hope for the best.
Is the battery cover damaged or broken in anyway? WiFi connector is bridged or built in to the battery cover as an external antenna I think ..
Whenever I removed the cover I get no WiFi..and you can see some gold colored contacts

There is some damage there actually. My volume rocker won't toggle down only up, but I can't really see any physical damage. Any ideas for a fix or am I SOL? D:
I'll post pics in a sec, camera is charging.

By the way I really appreciate you guys helping me out!
Edit: I should mention WiFi automatically turns itself off after it says "Unable to scan for networks"
Try bridging those connectors with a piece of coppee or a paper clip. See if it changes.

Then that might be serious internal problem that might require taking the phone apart to see whats broken.
Also, HTC will not honor the warranty cause of the fact that theres physical damage.

Considering the phone will not have warranty, I probably will take it apart later and find out what's going on.
Also, it's time to root and flash a ROM.

Thank you, now I just need the tools!
Also, I managed to connect to my router some how.. perhaps that smack I gave the phone did the trick
There is still an issue though. I just ran speed test and am getting low speeds so I'm not 100% sure it's using my WiFi connection. I'm not familiar with sense at all so can you tell me if data connection in the notification bar disappears when WiFi is connected?

The wifi indicator on the Inspire looks very similar to the iphone wifi indicator.

Easy enough, turn on airplane mode then turn wifi on. Let it connect and then try to browse the internet. That will 100% tell you if the phone is using wifi and not the cell signal.

Ah ha! I see now. And surprisingly my WiFi is now working 100% right now and I am very happy! Thank you guys again for the help! Now I'm just paranoid about every little bump that might disable my WiFi somehow
This could just be extra precaution/I'm not sure if HTC would help you out, but you could ask for another battery cover. I hear on these forums that you can get replacements pretty easily...
so i happen to be in the wrong section for the HTC One X (International Verision) and i was reading a thread where alot of people were having wifi connectivity issues. So i tried to do what they were doing to replicate the problem (even though nothing happend, Pressing the back of the phone, checking for a faulty connection) Now that i tried doing it and they told me it has the LTE radio there instead of the wifi one, will my LTE suffer now that i tried it? i fear that i actually bent the connection pins.
Are you in an LTE area?
Didn't you mama ever tell you don't mess with things that aren't broke?

i will be back home tomorrow so yes, i will be. and yes my mama did. but like i said i was in the international section, and i thought my phone would be affect too.
The at&t one X only has one radio its built into the chip so I would say that if you have signal at all you didn't hurt anything.
If you get good LTE signal and speed when you're back in the LTE area, I wouldn't worry about it.
Makes me think of the old joke:
Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that

The radio itself is built into the snapdragon S4 chip. It's the antennas you need to worry about

Hi there,
I've made a search about the issue, and there are a few loose threads about this subject, but without convincing answers and definite solutions.
With that in mind, my problem is that the GPS in my HTC Sensation has not been working properly for some time now. It can be switched on, and it may remain searching for a signal for endless periods without success...
As anyone experience the same problem? And if yes, how have you sorted out the issue?
Also, it's important to say that I want the GPS to work in the absence of any data transfer from the network provider, for those occasions where I am "out in the wild" and want to check where I am on maps... and yes, it can be infuriating to be walking and waiting for a signal and nothing....
So, to all those who have the sensation, have you experience the same problem? And how have you managed to fix it?
Thanks
(also, I am using the CM v10-20130526 , the 4.1.2, with kernel version 3.0.53)

Oh boy, that is because all and none of those work. Depends on the individual phone, location, rom, etc. Try a few and check.

What change was made to make GPS work?
Hello, I hope someone is still subscribed to this conversation.
I have an HTC Sensation XE with an non-functional GPS.
My phone is a UK phone that I am using in California. The phone function works fine and other apps but cannot lock on any GPS satellite.
The US uses Eris GPS, not the same in Europe. Has anyone changed the software to make this work?
