TIA

This is not true, when I first bought my sensation, it came with gingerbread sense 3.0, and the flash stopped working at 20%. Now I am on ARHD 6.51 and it's the same exact thing, Under 20%.
EDIT: I was checking my flashlight when I said it worked above 20%. Now that I checked the actual camera app it seems like you are right.

lol of course it is a standard HTC feature... Its the same on most Android phones

I guess you can edit the settings somewhere and get it to work with 10%

That is standard HTC feature..
and most of the smartphones have the same..
But some custom ROM may allow flash until the battery drain..
Hit thanks,

Light / proximity sensor

Anybody else have issues with it just stop working? Mine only seems to work on occasions now which is both strange and annoying. Any suggestions on how of fix it? Thanks in advance....

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 :-(

Is this normal? (New to at&t after many years)

Ive been on verizon for years and made the switch over to at&t to get the one x and have to say Im loving it. At&t has really made big improvements to there network as far as everywhere around my area goes.
Here is whats going on though:
Every now and then I can pull my phone out and turn the screen on to see it show full bars E then 5 seconds later it will change to full bars G then another 5 or so seconds full bars 4G. Its not a big deal but just wondering is it normal?
Another thing Ive noticed is when I leave my driveway of my house and get out of range of my wifi it will go to no service then to 4g. Its fairly quick but I dont remember it with any other phone Ive owned.

Could be signal issues with your towers or a sim card issue .

Its not the service its the phone. It takes a while to realize the data connection has changed and therefore updates it slowly. You should be fine its just annoying as hell if you are watching it all the time.

I have never seen that on any of my devices ?

Yeh its more of a mental thing than anything. It hasnt every caused me problems as actually using the phone but watching it cycle through E-G-then 4G a few times every day is starting to get to me. Ive tried all the radios also and Im currently on 1.88 as it seems to have the best speeds. Maybe I should try a new sim.

Did you ever get it resolved?

While this does sound like a bug could it also be a power saving feature designed to put the phone in the lowest power state when there has been a long rest in data or another source, WiFi, is available?

It went away with the vivid when lte went active...

I was having similar issues until I upgraded to the 1.88 RUU. Now I'm running CM9 with no data issues. I think it is the phone or rather the software. Data would stay on E but there was no signal. Had to reboot the doggone phone ever so often just to connect to data.

Hello im Andy from Austria
I got this phone now since 1 month and its my first
android phone. But i have to say that this is not the phone i expected... It all started when i got the first deep sleep on FIRST day. I thought it would go away after some time but it didnt stop. Then i read this things about flashing etc. I tried flashing many firmwares, custom ROMS and kernels... Nothing helped against the deep sleep.But this is not the only Bug the phone has. Sometimes when i want to call someone i cant hear anything. I have to call like 3-4 times to get it work (very annoying). Sometimes i cant do anything (freeze) , 3g doesnt work , cant boot without putting battery out and in again and even more things. No wonder why the phone got out of stores. Currently im on NeoRom 1.0 . But i read some posts where people got their phone dead randomly, and so i want to revert to default config like i got it from shop. The problem is my binary counter is currently on 4... Is there any method to get it to zero without paying? And another problem is maybe because i have removed simlock from it so i think warranty is gone anyway...
Maybe i try to completly reset the phone and then sell it to someome to get some other phone...
We also dont have any CM and i wonder about this because many unknown phones do have CM... Like Galaxy Y or etc...
It would be better to get some GS2 or GS3.
At least there are no deep sleep issues.
Greetings from Austria,
Birki

First of all:
Deep sleep is not an issue! It's a good thing, it's the state when your CPU rests and save your battery. The problem you mentioned is called "sleep of death" (when device becomes unresponsive after screen off)
You can reset your counter with USB-jig (if you have Odin protocol v. 2, if you have 2.1 it's a way more complicated))

It sounds stupid.....but did you change the WiFi sleep policy to never ?

My SGR touch was also not responsive, installed stock rom and took it to service. Now working fine.

So there are galaxy rs that work fine?!
Some said it needs new motherboard. How can i check if i really got a screwed phone?

I agree with pudup . You should visit your service, and explain to them your problem, but even this does not guarantee that you'll get a replacement of motherboard. Maybe you can ask for refund than

i think in austria there isnt even a SSC.. :'(

did u checked handset at service centre? if yes, then what was their ans to this issue?

Had the same problem. Go to setting-battery and see if Android OS drains more then 50%. If it does one of your applications is responsible for that. Fastest way to solve problem is to reflash stock rom, you have tutorial on this forum how to do that.

It happens to me too alot of times.. It happens when apps consume too much of power. Try disabling some of the rarely used apps with greenify

It's literally impossible to get so much heat from phone in just the first week of purchasing! Seek Samsung office for assistance.
