HTC Sensation XE screen not rotating - HTC Sensation

Hi guys, can anyone shed me some light here? Auto rotate is checked but yet everytime after I insert a simcard, it doesnt rotate anymore. Without simcard it works fine. I have tried reinstall stock roms its still the same. S-off, unlocked and install a CM9 rom its still the same. Is it some hardware issue? Can anyone point me to the right direction where I should look into? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to calibrate your screen? Just go to settings and htc calibration.. place your sensation into flat surface and click calibrate.

I cant calibrate. Whenever I did a calibration, it always gives me "Calibration Aborted". When I play Teeter, the ball isnt moving.

[Q] G sensor not working

I have a HTC inspire that is rooted and the g sensor didn't work when i bought it and after the hacking it still doesn't work right. anyone know how to fix this problem?
I believe it would help if you are more specific. How do you know it is not working? What specifically are you experiencing? Will the phone not go into landscape mode when using the browser? Have you tried to calibrate in settings?
Well i bought the phone new and it worked perfect for a day then when in landscape mode it get suck to the left. I calibrated it and it still sticks. So my friend said that was a problem with the inspire and if he changed the rom it would fix it. It worked for one day and the same happened. In landscape mode it sticks to the left but i can flip it up and down and in normal mode it sticks up.
Any help would be much appreciated. Oh and its running coredroid 2.3.3 i believe
The only fix I would see is turning auto-rotate off. Until I find a fix for you
thanks for the help

[Q] Proximity sensor not working

Let me explain my issue.
My proximity sensor stopped working (it would work occasionly) when running HyperNonSense ICS. I tried installing the DHD proximity sensor app, but that doesn't support the kernel. I have recently flashed virtious inqusition, and the sensor now will not work at all. I have tried the DHD app again, with the same issue, and I have tried pointing a camera at it whist calling voicemail, however there was no responce. I have also tried a proximity sensor app (http://goo.gl/TlTa8 and http://goo.gl/9gf4V) however both show no reading.
I guess I am going to have to send it in (I don't want to be without it!!!) Unless anyone has any suggestions.
EDIT: Sorry mod - didn't realise I was posting in general!

I believe this is a hardware issue as it is probably with mine.

According to the user manual, the proximity sensor is in the top left corner, under the glass of the screen, do you have a full size screen protector on, it could be blocking it.

I always thought that the proximity sensor and the light sensor were in the same area, but regardless both of mine seems to be messed up. The led lights at the bottom of my phone don't even come on anymore. :-\

Same problem here.Any solutions so far?
If sending it back for a repair will fix it,that means there is actually a way to fix it,so why no one knows how to do it?
It`s a HTC secret or something?!
Mine just died today fully. Phone would turn on over the last couple of days then when it goes into stand by the screen would freeze. A pull of the battery and reboot would not get it to come back on. I then treid a couple of adb reboot commands and it got it back again.
Then today it just died. Not getting battery light or anything. All it will do is power on and vibrate then nothing. As I am custom rom I cant send it back or they will charge a fortune, so just bit the bullet and ordered a new one arriving on Saturday
Let me just clarify - I have no screen protector on - Just this case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005B3OEV2/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details - I have sent the phone in to carphone and will report when I get it back

When you plug it in to your PC, is it coming up with QLOAD USB or something like that?

@brilldoctor: I have been struggling with this for WEEKS! It is NOT a hardware problem. It's an upgrade to ICS and get stuck with this **** problem! I tried other threads and nothing successful. My capacitive backlights for the touchpad under the LCD's dont work either WITHIN a ROM. In recovery they work fine. Another run-around was to Fix Permissions in Recovery also and then boot into the ROM and sometimes they all worked, sometimes they didn't. Another one was to SuperWipe and start from scratch down to the Radio flashing level.....same ****, lights, sensors don't work.
I'm still going crazy trying to figure it out as it is NOT a hardware problem!!!!!!
Hi guys! I'm having the same problem here, my proximity sensor is not working at all, I'm on Virtuous inquisition 4.0.2 and tried different kernels but nothing! I just wanna know if it is a hardware problem or something else??
Do you guys found a solution or an explanation to the problem? Or still using your sensation without the proximity sensor?

Same thing with prox sensor here
Weird thing is that, when I take the flashlight and point it to the prox sensor (with light) andro sensor Anrdoid Sensor Box reports that proximity sensor is working (0.0 cm -> 3,5 cm).
That would definitely mean that it's a software, not a hardware problem.
Maybe some kind of calibration for proximity sensor would fix it, but I can't find one (there are for rezound and zte, but no for sensation (pyramid)).
How can I just disable it?

Its the update that brought these problems. I've helped many with this same problem.
When you boot your phone, cover the sensor with your thumb. That is all.

got same problem with elegancia .... no proximity and light sensor... sad , i tryed to serch every post in google... without luck.
Some1 got some ideas , exept send to warranty. So long i cant go without phone.
and wagedroid cover dont help :S huh , so unhappy :S
I have the same problem as all of you guys. I tried everything I found as a possible solution on the web, but none of them worked for me. The funny thing is, that they work sometimes, and sometimes don't work. But what I found out, is that they are not working when the battery charge is 30%-100%, and when gets less than 30%, they start working perfectly. I tested it for about a week, and it was the same everytime the charge was getting less that 30%. So may be some of the developers might know where this problem could be coming from, since on a low charge the sensors work just fine.
If it matters, I am using my stock battery, but it is the same with my other battery.
My current ROM is ViperS 1.6.3, Sense 4.1 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547&highlight=vipers

Are you using a stock, or custom ROM?
same here
Yes, I have the same problem, occurred exactly right after the Android version upgrade of my Sensation.
I'm in touch with HTC support, but of course like all support channels, it's very hard for the guys to understand what the symptoms are. I keep telling them that I can't see any networks to try to connect and the guys keep telling me to disable mac filtering on my access point...
Anyway, I'm on it. If I can reach a solution, I'll let you know.
update
OK, here we go...
I have removed the SIM card.
I left the microSD inside.
I did a factory reset.
WiFi works perfect... After one hour it is still OK.
I shut down and insert the SIM card.
The auto-config for APN starts and triggers the 3G connection.
3G is fine.
But WiFi is dead.
Again, it detects the APs nearby but then it shuts down in one second...
Then can't detect any APs, of course...
I shut it down and remove the SIM card.
No luck, WiFi is still dead.
I have updated the guys in HTC support...
Let's see what they'll come back with.
Here in Andorra, we´ve the same problem After Update.The same problem. Its something about the Country Of the SIM. Here, if you put an Spanish or French SIM, WIFI OK. BUT if you use an Andorran´s SIM: WIFI DEAD...
I have the exact problem.......
I expect it solve in a week or two by HTC otherwise.... No more HTC after the XE
I have the same problem. The problem appeared after upgrading from GB to ICS. When I returned to the RUU - the problem still occurred. In general, helps clear the Dalvik cache - but after a while the problem comes back.

Sorry was travelling and did not see the posts. It was such a major problem not
having wifi while travelling. Lots of the airports had free wifi and i had to keep
pulling out my PC to tether
I am on stock ROM.
Any solutions yet??
Same problem here. Wifi stays stuck on "turning on" and will never turn on. Sometimes it says error. Also, bluetooth exhibits the same symptoms, except it gives up after a while and just goes back to off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah I have the same problem.
Hboot:1.27.1111

I've tried many different roms, wifi works sometimes. Then it will turn on and off continuously, getting my hopes up then leaving me frustrated. I can't believe I'm considering getting another phone because of this stupid wifi issue.
Do you also have problems with getting notifications when wifi is on? For example whatsapp or gmail?

It's like it will work for a few days perfectly, then this intermittent behavior happens. My EDGE connection kicks in and I get notifications alright but my plan only has 150MB per month. (please don't laugh as I live in China, and don't laugh that my 4G phone is running EDGE). So I need WiFi to work all the time.
same problem i try manny roms but cant get the wifi to work did u guys find any solution?
I found a solution and you're not going to like it, I sold my Sensation and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sorry HTC, byebye to you.

[Q] Took screenshot - phone froze

Has this happened with anyone else? I was trying to take a screenshot (what's on my screen not taking a picture with the camera) of my Sensation 4G in horizntal view and the phone just froze on me and the screen went black and it wouldn't respond to any input whatsoever. Had to do a battery pull. Everything is working fine again now but you would think that the phone can handle taking a screenshot... I am running stock software straight from HTC. I will also note that I was also running google play music at the same time but still I don't think thats an excuse for this.
No I've never had the problem, try taking another screenshot or two. If the problem persists then install leedroid twerks so you can take a screenshot from the power button. Another way to take a screenshot is to swipe from the search button to the home button.

Very strange that's never happened to me or I have I ever heard about it. Did you properly wipe, our phone before installing the from and are you using any kernel other then recommended ones for your ROM
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Weird, never experienced it at all either. Maybe it just coincidentally occurred, there's a chance that it will happen that once. Don't let it get to you. Try to do it again, if it doesn't freeze maybe it just happened that one time, if it happens again, then from there you can tell something is wrong.

[Q] Unlock-touch Problem

Hello,
My htc chacha worked almost pefectly within its warranty period. But after that,it started with it's touch screen not responding well. Now it has come to the extend that,the ring that is needed to be pulled up to unlock the screen is also not working. The unlock ring is kind of flickering when attempted to be pulled up. I can't even see the phone main menu! Guys please help me out here.
Regards.
got the same problem... please help
It is most probably a hardware issue. You need to replace touch screen digitizer. The same thing happened to me. The top half of the screen didn't respond to touch.
Thnx a lot. But do u think unlocking the boot loader will help in any way? And there's an another issue, when I attempt to check for updates online, it says that my phone is up to date, whereas my phone's Android version is 2.3.3 ????

It don't seem to be a software problem... check your Touch Cable and if your problem also continue, maybe you should change your Touch Screen.
