[Q] Camera not starting and lock screen hanging

Hi there,
I have 2 important questions regarding my HTC Sensation phone, I have this mobile now for like 6 months and it's a really nice phone.. but the last time it's going weird now and then.
I'm still using the stock rom HTC provided with my phone, I updated to all available updates.
My problems are:
1. Camera is not starting anymore
When I try to start my camera app it's going to a black screen and then pushed back to my homescreen. I tried the methods mentioned on XDA already, like shutdown the phone and pull out the battery and pull it back in and start the phone again.
Then I tried third-party apps, like CameraMX. But the program tells me it can't open the camera!
2. The lockscreen not responding sometimes when receiving a call
When I try to drag the ring out of it's position it is not moving. And nothing is responding until I push the standby hardware button on the top of the phone twice and then it is all working again.
These 2 problems are very annoying while using my sensation daily.
I hope someone has a clue!
Because I searched a lot on google and this forum, but I didn't found any proper solution.
Thanks in advanced!

[Q] UI graphic glitches?

So I got the T-mobile US One S yesterday, and I noticed that every now and then, I get weird graphical glitches, be it on home screen or in the app drawer. Anyone else has this problem?
I attached one of the app drawer, the bar under the status bar is glitched.

First reboot if you haven't done it yet. If that doesn't work try factory reset. A quick reboot solves most weird problems

I tried rebooting and factory reset. The problems still pop up for some reason. There are also times when I hit the "Home" button, where the phone begins to spazz, gets a glitchy screen, only a restart fixes that one

Well, you can probably declair it dead on arrival and get a new phone. Go to the store and show them. Unlucky :/

I had the same issue with the t-mobile stock ROM. When I would close the app drawer, there would still be an outline of the drawer shown. If I switched between homescreens, it would go away. I haven't had this problem since using other ROMs. So it might not be the phone itself.

Even if flashing a different ROM would fix it, I would expect the stock device to work since I haven't done any rooting/modding on it at all.

[Q] Sensation 4G Loading Issue after ICS update

Hello,
I've tried searching but I cant seem to find anything about this, I recently upgraded my wife's Sensation 4G to ICS but now the phone suffers from the white HTC loading screen for about 5-10 seconds every time I exit any application. Is there a solution for this I'd like to keep this phone as stock as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Not enough ram. Too much is running so to save ram, the Sense launcher is killed. That kind of shouldn't be happening. Without being rooted, you can try remove some of her applications that are running in the background or factory reset the device and try again.
You can also tell her to hold Home and swipe unneeded applications to the left or right to dismiss them, hopefully this will close applications before the Sense launcher is killed.

I have the same phone and I had the same issue happen to me. What I ended up doing (and believe me it works) is I went to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the green HTC Logo) and click on it and disable that one. Now go back to Settings>Apps>All>HTC Sense (the one with the picture of the home screen but in a tiny version and click on that and "Clear Data" and thats half the problem. For some reason it seems like HTC didnt integrate the "New" HTC Sense with the old one so they keep messing eachother up "allegedly." Well now for the last steps, So now you go back to Settings>Develop Options and scroll to the bottom and you need to uncheck the option that says "Don't Keep Activites" and make sure "Background Process Limit" is set to Standard Limit. Then restart the phone and your phone should be back to normal It took me all day yesterday to figure it out so hope everything works out for anyone having this same issue

Is there anything we can do about push notications on Sense?

I know I'm not the only person to have problems with push notications on sense base ROMs (including stock). I've missed many Whatapps messages, Facebook notification, and more all because the phone won't push notications when the screen has been off for more than 5 minutes or so. I've noticed on CM10 that I don't have this problem. On stock ROM and CleanROM, I've noticed that it does have this issue. Is there any type of fix for it besides using a Non-Sense ROM?

I really don't want to use a jellybean sense ROM until AT&T releases their. They all seem to have issues.

No issues on ics viperxl I get my notifications instantly no matter how long the screen has been off for

I did some testing on my roommate's phone with Whatsapp. It seems when you're connected to wifi, there is a delay on receiving notifications when the screen is off. I've looked into this and saw that you needed to open some ports on your router for push notification to work. I opened those ports and still no luck.
When I'm using my carrier's data, I get notifcations instantly even when my screen is off. I really don't know what's going on. I've switched over to Viper's JB ROM and still getting that same issue. It's definitely Sense related.

I've noticed that if you restore an app with tibu, the push notifications stop working. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the market corrected this

I did some more testing and found a solution. I've noticed that when I turn my screen off and access my router settings, the HTC One X disappeared under attached devices. As soon as I turned the screen back on, I refreshed the page and saw that the phone was back in the list of attached devices to the router.
I went to Settings > WiFi > Advanced > and enabled "Best WiFi Performance". True..this may drain your battery faster, but I'm getting notifications instantly now with wifi on and my screen turned off.

[Q] Htc one x problems

So Ive been having issues with my Htc One X and I decided to send it back to Htc (through warranty) to fix the issues... The following are issues I have encountered with the phone on Jb..
Phone randomly reboots after selecting an app
Background Wallpaper would just disappear and turn black
I would select to use an app such as Instagram for example, and it would pop up for a second but then go back to home screen each time
Text messages would come hours late but say received at an earlier time
Keyboard would disappear when texting
Signal would drop to no signal because the phone is "preparing sim" (like when it first comes on) (which is randomly)
Htc Sense would randomly close along with process com.android..etc. (see picture for screenshot, notice task bar has also diapered. )
After the pop up notifications of Htc sense or whatever crashing or stopping I would have to press ok like 50 times to get it to stop popping up..or try to hurry up and restart before it comes back up
Can anyone explain what's going on??????? I have sent my phone to Htc multiple (at least more than 5) times to be fixed and before this time it was a refurbished device because they messed up my usb port on my original phone. I do not run a lot of apps and even with some apps uninstalled it still continues to act like this and I would usually have to restart.. I wish I could unlock boot loader and flash new ROM to fix it.. but they always send it with Jelly Bean installed from stock.

That's quite a collection of issues! Since the phone is bone stock, I'd just try a factory reset, then installing a minimum of apps, and see if the issues still occur. Or run the phone in Safe Mode, and see how it behaves. If its still acting up, send it back again.

Could not honestly tell you, maybe it is some setting you have on the phone. Or may be it is a genuine hardware issue that needs to be repair or replaced. If you sent it 5 times, you should be able to get a brand new phone. I know with AT&T, after the third time, they will replace the phone with a comparable phone
