Hey peeps,
I've noticed that people complain they cant understand/hear what I'm saying to them when I'm in call and holding the phone in between my shoulder and ear (you know...like using both my hands to do something else while on the phone)
I was curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue because I'm ready to send my phone back to T-Mobile and have them replace mine. Oh and my battery life is terrible. Not sure if that is due to the ViperROM or just from using and charging the phone for the last several months.
Please give me some feedback. I know I'm going to have to reload the stock android rom on my device before sending it in if I do

I had a similar problem, everyone was telling me that they couldn't hear me or that it sounded like I was on speaker phone. Turns out some gunk had gotten into the mic hole. I cleaned it out with a needle and my problem was fixed. Might want to check that.
ill also have to see if its the cheap $7 plastic casing i have around the phone. gosh this mic hole is tiny and is covered by the casing
the hole is down on the bottom right of the phone right?
Bottom right is correct. You might try drilling a small 1/4" hole for a mic opening in the case.

That is actually a good idea. I'll try it if I isolate the problem to the case. I'm using my phone casually without the case now to see if its the issue.
My hands struggle to grasp the tiny phone now lol, the case is small but the phone itself is slick and smooth metal. Loved this phone when they first set it in my hand at the kiosk

Does anyone have this slight problem? When pressing down at the bottom of the phone near the search symbol you hear a cracking sound? It looks like there is loose space.. hard to explain but it is annoying me, good enough reason to go back tmobile store and get a new replacement?
i have slight movement in that corner, makes a creek slightly but not a crack.
I also have this on my current phone. Mine is bad and with a couple of other issue I have a replacement coming today. My worry is the problem is with the back cover and if they send the warranty replacement without the back cover it will not fix the issue.
However if I get a perfect device and this is the only issue I might try to put something in the case to fill or tighten up this area and I can live with that.
I have similar issue. I just don't feel it solid.
If I push at any side of the phone, I will hear the light cracking sound.
I put some tape on the cover. No more creaking
pictures?
I get annoyed when I press the touch button, I hear the creaking noise.
damn.

The creaking on my Sensation is more towards the middle-right. Really annoying.
Got my thoughts and results on the issue here:
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/HTC-Sensation/The-creak/td-p/815521
wow another problem i dont have
I didn't at the start to be honest, just one day when I went to the local Voda store to get a new sim and I started feeling it, either way gone with the new back, or gone with the old back and lots of sticky labels.
Will be nice to have a scratch free back up down the line I guess.
there's a thread about that here somewhere. my first one had it, my current one doesn't
I had a cracking sound near the corner. However, I removed the cover and put it back on and it's dead silent. There is still some movement possible but no sound anymore. The phone I currently have is quite good only there is a scratch on the back of my screen so I have to return it. I really hope I get a good phone back.

Here are the pictures. Very simple, just put several layers of tape where the creaking is.

I did the same. Fixed it
Weird thing was I never had this problem when i got the phone...
I'm just going back to the t-mobile store and exchange it for a new one.. i wonder if they would give me a new one right off the bat~
my previous unit had the same issue, and i hated it. i returend it prompltly and my current one is perfect, nice & tight.
I went to the store today, They just exchanged my back cover and its working perfectly now =)
great to know. I will ask the store to have it changed.

You could give the place where your phone has been assembled, it could help identifying possible faulty batches.
f.
I added a couple of small pieces of thin foam tape inside the case near the bottom corners. Snug as a bug, and no more creaking
Received my replacment Sensation yesterday and noticed it made a slight noise when I touched the bottom right corner area of the screen (near the search button) After using it today for an extended period the creaking became louder and louder and also has moved up so that it will creak if you touch the screen on any portion from the middle of the right hand side on down.. The creaking noise is steadily increasing in amplitude. I have checked to make sure the cover is on correctly and it is . I have pulled the back cover off numerous times and it was of no help. ,has anyone else experienced this issue? I just got off the phone with T Mobile(they could hear the sound as I touched the device,it is that loud) and they are sending out another one.

If you are doing a warranty exchange they will not send the back cover, which is likely the problem. If you have nothing else wrong with your phone I would not risk getting another one with potential other problems. Call HTC and get them to send you a new back cover instead.
I called them and told them my paint was peeling off the back cover and they are sending me a new one for Free. I'ts worth a try and even if it doesn't work you will have a extra back cover.
In the end it should not have this issue, but 3 of mine after a few times opening and general usage gets loose. Others have said putting some tape on the inside of the case solved the creaking for them. There is another thread on that here as well.
Double post???? or you just get all excited??

Thanks so much for the kind and informative reply. I did a couple of searches on screen creaking etc and nothing came up similar to what I have experienced. would you have a link to that thread or the search verbiage I might use? Would it be "cover loose or screen noises" ? Thanks so much.

Creaking on mine is pretty bad. I had to put tape all over the cover to stop it. But I'm not going to exchange it.

Hey guys,
I want to check if anyone is having the same issue as I have.
When i use my headphones (Bose QC15), as soon as the heaphone jack moves a tiny bit (as when the phone is in my pocket and I am walking), it cuts the sound in the left ear. I tried with several other headphones and have the same issue.
I sent the phone for repair three times and every time it came back still faulty. I finally got sent a new phone yesterday (which by the way has a flat screen rather than the old curved screen) and the problem is still here, even though it's not as bad as with the old one.
It seems like the headphone jack makes contact with the unidoby casing and that is what cuts the sound from the left ear.
Anyone can confirm it they have the issue or not???
Yes, all of them have that.

Really??!!! That's ridiculous! Come on HTC sort your sh**t together!
Has anyone found a way around it? I was thinking of using a rubber coating for use as electrical tape and insulation and put it on the case around the jack.
I wonder if that would work.
I'll try and report.
If contact with unibody is the problem using some clear non-conductive nail polish, gently applied around the jack hole, should fix it. And could be also reversible, maybe with some cover paint losses.
That's a great idea, now I just need to find out what kind of nail polish is non conductive?! Do you think they all are?
Hi, I was curious if other owners have a clicky noise when they press on their battery cover? Its really irritating. I took off my battery cover to see what the problem was and found out its either a loose screw or just the design itself. If I touch anywhere in the "RED" location of the picture I will hear a popping/clicking noise. I was thinking I might need to tighten one of the two "GREEN" screws. But I dont have a small enough screwdriver. Just curious if anyone else noticed this? If Im the only one I was going to pick up a Glasses Repair Kit.
Thanks for any response.
I have no noise when I press on that spot...or any other spot.
You are not alone on this. Most people dont see it until the back cover has been removed several times. Mine started doing it after removing it about half a dozen times. The most common and simple suggestion to fix it is to take a post it note type piece of paper, cut it down to size to fit under the cover where the noise is originating at (where you are touching it to produce the sound). If it doesnt work, try it again. My phone is almost completely silent now. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much. I'll give it a try.

My GNex did that directly under the camera cut out on my battery cover. I got the OEM Samsung extended battery and that fixed it.

Give the slip of paper trick a shot. I know its a dirty solution, but it sure beats hearing that creak all the time and being reminded about it (and its also free).
Mine did that too but it was on the top right hand corner if the screen is facing you. I replaced the back cover with the Samsung flip cover and it eliminated the noise for me. It also made the camera recessed into the back cover which I was very happy about. Maybe it will keep it from getting scratched so easily.

hi guys .i got this phone about 3 days ago and overall im amazed . gots all i need great speakers great display and great battery . im not a camera guy so camera iis fine for me 2 . such an amazing phone.
MY only issue :as i was holding my phone with one hand i noticed with my finger a soft spot in the back cover, in the ''idol'' logo to be accurate. so i pressed it and it made a clicky noise. like a clicker or something...that means that there is a noticable gap between the plastic cover and the battery ... the whole back cover seems solid but the spot that idol logo exists there is a gap... which worries me . has anyone noticed that ... if you havnt test this and info me plz . .. i wanna know so i can decide if i have to return the device for another one or not ,,ty in advance
edit: this was going me crazy so thought if i could press down some seconds the plastic could stick back again ... so i pressed down the idol logo for about half min ,, its seems more solid now the click sounds almost gone... so assume that was a glue problem,,,so if anyone has this kind of issue try to aply a power pressure for half secs its shoulb be good (for now)
The clicking noise you hear is just most likely the adhesive sticking and then peeling back off. The tape must've just peeled off in that one spot. Mine does not seem to do what you described so it's just a minor defect. You should get it replaced if it will bother you that much or just buy a hardshell case.
