yes, you do need s-on. To find out if it's a softwaer related problem (I doubt it is) you could do a factory reset.

I tried, but it didn't help.... I change rom as well.
Hey Everyone :crying:
I've had my HTC Sensation since around late October 2011, and thus far it's been a pretty great phone, however an hour or so ago my phone stopped doing what I was doing (playing Need for Speed) and let out a very high pitch squeal and the screen went black, it just stopped responding to anything I did. It wouldn't turn on, It won't charge, and the only thing it does when I plug it in to USB is play the external hardware sound on my computer.
When I first heard the high pitch squeal the phone was insanely hot at the bottom, I understand that the CPU/Hard drive/Charging components are stored at the bottom of the phone so I'm praying nothing down there is fried, but I thought i'd get some opinions from others before I went down the contact HTC Warranty road.
The battery was quite hot when I took it out but it cooled quite quickly and so did the phone itself. The phone wasn't on charge when this happened so I'm not quite sure what's going on here.
Being without a phone is a big burden to me and I don't want to have to send it in for repairs unless absolutely necessary, so any advice would be appreciated.
And yes, I have tried the volume-down and volume up and power button press, it gave off a vibration once during this process which I repeatedly tried over the course of an hour, I've taken the battery out, I've tried a spare battery, I've left the phone and battery disconnected and untouched for an hour and repeated processes above but to no avail, I've tried a spare back cover, checked all contacts are making a good solid contact, I've tried everything that people mentioned on the site, so I'm pretty much just trying to figure out which piece of hardware has packed up on me and how screwed I am
Oh, and I have the phone rooted. It's running Elegancia Sense 4 v2.7.0 with SebastionFM 1.5.2 Kernel.
:crying: :crying: :crying:
If it recognises your phone as in download mode when you connect to pc then its bricked and not recoverable.

Doesn't HTC have a once year warranty? Then send that puppy in because that's a hardware issue if I've ever heard one. The only other time I heard about someone with a Sensation's phone making that noise, they had to send it in.
Sorry bud. The intensity of the heat you're saying was applied to the phone's components (through no fault of your own unless you were overclocking) might have fried something inside.
It could easily be that something has unbinded from the motherboard

Yes by the phone making that sound I would agree you need to send it in for repairs. As mentioned your motherboard likely has a problem. I wish you the best and keep us posted on what's happening with the repair. Good luck.

Sounds to me like yet another case of sudent hardware failure. I hate it happened to you my friend but as others have mentioned send it in for a warranty replacement. The hardware is fried so HTC will not be able to tell that it was running a custom ROM.

I sincerely hope not as my handset has already been repaired once this year already having several major components replaced.

When i do "the wire tricn 2nd touch phone stays on a blank black screen and does nothing.... oh and the sdcard is not recognised after doing this and the phone keeps going to QHSUSB_DLOAD
I'm sorry to say but I believe that QHSUSB_DLOAD is a true brick. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! but I believe your device is truely
bricked. You can however try the unbricking project. I believe you can find the guide in android sensation development. I do wish you the best and sorry to be the barrer of bad news. Hopefully the guide will work for you.

no no its not a brick !!!! the phone went to deep sleep state. QHSUSB_DLOAD can be achieved million ways and it not always corresponds to true brick
OP..
remove battery , sim and sdcard and charge the phone via power outlet for 6-7 hours then the phone should boot up (be sure to have a good charger ..or the original htc charger )
Ok thanks I was thinking that was what they called a true brick. Thank you for correcting that.

Thanks, device is NOT bricked as when i get blank screen after 2nd wire touch if i remove battery and reinsert and reboot phone it goes back to temp root status bar screen ready to run juopunutbear S-OFF, i just do not seem to be able to achieve S-OFF as each and every time i do 2nd wire press it goes to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, i have now been trying to S-OFF for over 8 hours following instructions to the letter. so basically my repaired sensation is useless as it is simlocked and has horrendous bloated orange firmware on it :crying: :crying:

Well to keep you updated I have today spent a further 5 hours so far trying to unlock bootloader and S-OFF with the wire trick... :crying:
I have tried a paper clip and multicore and single core ethernet cable and when ever I seem to get the timing right for wire trick on the 2nd touch it sends my handset into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
I know it is my timing that is at fault and not the software, just getting square eyes from watching the wire trick video, (I sort of have been trying to say "half, 1, 2, half) which when I watch the video back it looks right but all i get is a totally black screen and no led lights, if i touch a 3rd time it goes into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode and a 4th touch brings it back to temproot status bar screen.
What would be helpful was if there was an audiable tone to know exactly when contact is made in the video as the finger kind of blocks the view (just an observation as the timing is crucial) or is that me just being picky as I don't seem to get the timing right lol
I'll keep going till I get it right as the phone is useless in it's current configuration to me with a locked bootloader and S-ON with bloated Orange firmware.
Just a thought, I have an old version of the Orange RUU which was gingerbread I believe, if I was to flash that would I be able to reverse bootloader to 1.17 ?

That's sad man timing is failing it seems.. Or the wire is bad.. Did you reduced the wire trick timing phase like this?
0.5 sec tap - - 1.5 sec pause- - 0.5 sec tap
Btw you can't use a ruu to downgrade as long as you are SON man

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 ????
Hey pal,,online update dont change the rom-it updates your software version,,,u have to change your rom to 2.3.5

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.

my phone screen got broken by accident ,and i got the screen from on-line and send it to a local (not htc) mobile repair shop . he disassembled it and re assembled it and then after reassembling the WiFi started to work , i asked him how he said the WiFi connectors might have gotten loose while phone has dropped and while reassembling he might have connected them properly again ,i lot lucky
it might be that you need a new back piece
so would you sugest taking the phone apart

Hi there!
I just figured out that in "WCDMA Preffered" mode, in call time signal strength reach 16-17 asu makeing screen go crazy, than I simply set "WCDMA Only" and signal strength has stabilized with 12-13 asu or less in call time. The issue dissapear..
You can set it up eighter entering "Test menu" (*#*#3424#*#*) or in "Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode - (WCDMA Only)
NOTE: The setting persist after reset so you don't need to reapply it every time.
Later edit: My test was made in a high signal area from my carrier. Now I'm testing in a lower signal strenght area (neutral zone) and my asu is 6-7 and this is great.
Enjoy your HTC One S
Soo far the issue gone. Keep this up (vote and say thx)
Hi again, after 3 days testing my theory the issue seems to completely gone. I reactivate long press home button eveything is normal.
Ohh.. just a little thing forgot to mention that doing this you lost 2 lines of signal. No more helicopter but -2 lines cover and probably this ain't so helpfull those with allready low cover in some areas. BUT this seems to be the only way to get rid of this issue.
My final decision!
Edit: Please pin my topic!

This issue manifest most often durring calls when gsm signal interact with capacitive sensor. So you can test it very simple by makeing a call even to your free carrier number, put on speaker and tri to browse the web durring call or just play with the menu.. open / close apps..
Up topic
Its 9 days for me since the issue gives no signs comming back.
UP topic , Please pin my topic!

The problem is only repressed... when you are in an area without WCDMA/UMTS your phone is dead...
Indeed... I sayd before..on 31 jan but at last is an improvement when no one comes with any solutions, I did..
Since I've updated to official update 3.19.401.102 the problem seems to of gone.
I have switched back to gsm/wcdma auto with no problems so far.

My One S is not rooted yet and as every one knows HTC didn't update nothing for us. Before knowing about this issue i though my phone have some problems and i need to go to a service or something.. after i heard about the issue.. i was thinking.. mabe HTC will develop some update, but now that i realize that HTC will never do such a thing i was looking for something to stop the issue without doing any sofware changes.
Please keep me up to date about your ROM and if the issue is not comming back, i'll think about a software change..
As a fact you can give us some fresh links with your ROM

Helicopter still happens with the update but not as much.
Hi every one!
I did managed to Unlock / Root / S-OFF my HTC One S, i had some issues with the CWM untill i got a good recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-villec2.img but i still not receive any update from HTC..
Finally the issue is continue to manifest so.. the only thing we can do at this moment is switching to "WCDMA Only" as i sayd before.
This is a hardware issue that i read about .. there are 2 HTC One S models (probably motherboard series) and one of them has this issue.. so do what i did and stop searching for answers, this is the only way without risking of bricking your device or void your warranty searching for a better solution.
Enjoy it as it is or.. buy a new one if you can't live with it the setting !
Could a software update not solve the problem? I thought htc knew about the issue.
If you look at this link it seems htc know about the issue
http://community.o2online.ie/t5/HTC/HTC-ONE-S-Home-Button-Problem/td-p/547346
Yea HTC know about it but it doesen't do nothing .. coz they don't have nothing to do.. you think will HTC knock on your dor .. and say "hi, this is your new phone" or "helo, please let me change your phone board" this will never happend.. probably they want you to walk over this and buy the new brand. its commercial s**t
