I had the phone for two days and got the phone permrooted and simunlock, I was so pleased with the phone until I see the paint on the metal frame is started to peel off. I have to admit I never had good luck with HTC phones. I've been using htc phones since HTC Magician, from WM5 to Android 2.2, none of them worked right out of the box for me. Previous HTC phones I owned either LCD had lots of stuck pixels, scratches on phone, phone won't boot, or dusts under screen. This time, the paint peels out on the mytouch's metal frame. I guess I will send it back for a warranty replacement... maybe in a month or two. I wonder if HTC is just not good at quality or its me having bad luck with their phones. I'm not angry or pissed at all, I guess I got used to this happening on me with HTC phones now.
If it has an obvious manufactor defect then why not revert to stock and take it back, all states have buyers remorse time. It just sounds dumb to hold on to defective device
Yea I know... but I got the phone from a good friend of mine who works at T-Mobile authorized dealer. He knows all about the history between me and HTC phones and he warned me about it. I insist to get it anyway. So I just don't want to bug him to return another HTC phone for me this time.
Mines not pealing and I even dropped and scratched the chrome trim right by the genius button.

I'm not sure I'm grasping the point of this topic. Was it it simply to say you think HTC makes poor phones? What is the point?

Agreed, this should be deleted.
I have ran HTC done the wing and I ran it over with my Durango. Nothing happened to it. And my mt4g went swimming flash on in the toilet. So don't try to convince me they lack quality.
Just return it.

No I don't think they makes poor phones. I don't see it happen to any other mt4g phones but it happened to mine.

Like I said earlier, I admit had bad luck with HTC phones, I don't see how difficult is that to understand. If I do think they make poor quality phones, I wouldn't get them in the first place. If you think this thread should be deleted, then we should start with your posts. Don't convince me that HTC phones never had manufacturer defects. If you don't like it then move on.

Mine isn't peeling but I do notice the chrome trim to be very sensitive.
I don't encounter much problem with HTC products...
US SDA (metal frame peeled off)
US MDA
6800 Sprint
TP Sprint
TP2
HD2
nexus one
MT4
Most of them worked right out of box and I don't/didn't have much problem.

My chrome bezel chipped off in one small area too. I don't care; you can barely see it. Which product nowadays is without a flaw? You get what you paid for....

you don't have to return it to t-mobile. you can go to any t-mobile corporate store and they will exchange it for a new one, right out of inventory. you don't even need your receipt.
This may be a dead topic but I personally am ripping apart my phone and custom painted it. Going with some chameleon paint or pearl paint, stuff you use on cars and going to professionally spray it. Tired of black and it's peeled off on the back and bezel, looks ugly.
Why get a new phone when your current phone works fine, just change the rom out or port a rom from a phone that you really want, save up and then get the dream phone. But by then.. a better phone comes out
That's what started happening to my MyTouch4G. I got it from my cousin since he didn't use it anymore, and before you know it, the paint started chipping. I wanted my phone to look nice and not janky, so I just ordered a new body and had my friend it it all back for me and voila! It looks brand spanking new. You can either do what I did or paint over it, or go to t-mobile and they will replace it if you're still under warranty.
Is anyone having a problem with the screen, well the phone, clicking when you touch the corners? Over the past few days it seems like the actual phone and back cover are not connected tightly resulting in a click sound and feel when typing on the keyboard. I have tried to re-seat the back cover with no luck. I am going to try and get an exchange today but the whole design around a uni body phone worries me long term.
I've posted the same thing and you're not alone. What you can do is put a paper inside the case and it'd resolve your problem for now

There appears to be some build quality issues with some devices out there last night I discovered that vibrate doesn't work on my phone.
check out my 1st and 2nd post in this thread just called T-Mobile and they're overnighting my phone, I love this phone but this is the first phone I had to exchange twice
Mcp,
Unfortunately I have to go threw hell to get mine replaced since my wife is an employee.
Bad vibrations... lol
I noticed on mine the vibration is very mild compared to say the MyTouch 4G.

I have it to, actually dont know if I should take it so seriously.
Yhe it clicks a little but nothing serious.
Yup, my one day old sensation also clicks and make that noise when I press on the bottom right of the screen, just like yours. Also, the capacitive buttons are unevenly lit. This is my second unit, and I am very disappointed. I returned the first one because of a wacky battery. Build quality on that one was perfect. I might return this unit also.
Any other folks with the same issue?

I already talked to them and they were ready to overnight the replacement phone but they said they couldn't because I'm in my buyers remorse period
the bottom right corner seemed loose for me too, but i din't care that much and now, after using it for about 2 weeks it fits tight. don't know what happened.
anyone with loose buttom right corner and now its tight ???
what did you do ??
mine is loose too !!!
thats my second unit too... the first one made crackling noises when typing messages. this one is better ... but with loose corner !!!

Yes, my first unit was flawless, I would have kept it if not for the wacky battery. This one annoys me every time I press on the right lower portion. I'm weighing my options, I only have 3 days left to exchange/return it to walmart

Got the same problem.
Tomorrow i am gonna switch back covers and see if it is the issue.
I think when you take the back cover of to many times the right side will show this problem.
Greetz.
Happens to my phone as well only if I press the right point. That sounds come from the battery. Pull the backcover and press on the battery then you'll hear some clicks. But I couldn't figure out how to solve that. Even putting paper didn't help.
Hi there , brand new Sensation and i liked very much the Sensation's XE back battery cover.
Does anyone know where can we find it?
It's not even out yet so I'm guessing nowhere
I like the red accents on the camera and the speaker grill. Just don't like the beats logo on the bottom.
Don't like the red at all personally, plus it'd look weird with the white buttons on the front as opposed to the XEs red

Thats a damn good price if its a genuine HTC cover and not a cheap replica.
HTC sell them for £40.99 in the UK on their website
As an owner of a European version I can confirm this looks like an original back.
The antenna contacts are on the inside as can be seen on the second photo on Ebay.
I still wonder if the XE back cover has the same antenna contacts with our current one or not....
Damn ok so my volume rocker fell out of the back cover, apparently that happens when you open it up alot to do battery pulls, well anyways I called htc support and they covered it and sent me a new cover but I have to send my defective one back or they charge me $50+7$ shipping and handling. I also asked if I could buy a spare or preferably buy the sensation xe battery cover, they told me they dont sell them in their store or thru their support. And they dont have anything to do with the Xe since it hasnt been released in the states yet. So the only way to get one from HTC is do a warranty for the battery cover and not return the cover ( if its functional) and let them charge you the 57$. Well if you want an official one that is.
I had the 'famous' touch screen lockup issues at lockscreen. Well, I tried everything members here suggested and everything failed. So i decided to send it to HTC and i get a phonecall in the middle of my Calculus ii class giving me a quote for *(**$160 DOLLARS to repair the "LCD" reason being that the warrantly sticker was torn???!!!??? I checked before I sent it it!! It was still intact! I mean I know that LCD is not the issue but I kept a straight face and let them charge my credit card.. Now Im just waiting to hear from them and see how much they failed.
HTC u disappoint me.
Dispute it!
If you claim it was under warranty and that the sticker was not torn, first fight them BIG time. If they won't budge then you need to dispute the charge on your credit card stating it was under warranty. (BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE PHONE BACK!)
If there is a will there is a way!
Next time take pictures of the phone before you send it anywhere! Its always nice to have proof of the truth if something like this happens

There is only One void sticker on one of the screws on back... Remaining don't have that sticker... Do you guys have it on all screws or one?
that void sticker is so prone to get unstickied and thrown off when u hold phone without back cover.
There must be other ways for sure to check if phone has been opened or not..
btw ..won't u get dust under the screen when u open those screws?
I never opened the phone and clearly remember the void sticker intact. Its so small and HTC want to you send the phone naked without cover and such. I bubble wrapped it very tight. The sticker could get torn when they opened the package.
I wish I had taken a picture. Facepalm.

I saw one only. no worries though. Learned my lesson the hard way. I have had iphones/itouches get broken and apple gave me new ones no questions asked or no excuses given. Just like that. Wish others would step up cause I dont like Apple too much.
My old HTC sensation had signal issues so i sent it for repair, However they did not fix it because I had coloured in the void sticker !!
I had a digitizer replacement on the phone about 2 months before this, And before i sent it off for repair i noticed the void sticker, I assumed it was there because the phone had been opened so i coloured it in lol.
Turns out it was supposed to be there, I had just never noticed it before now, So if i never coloured it in, they would have fixed it !!
Im surprised the void sticker was still intact after having the digitizer replaced, surely the repair guy would have had to remove it to get to the screw underneath ?
Anyway i really shot myself in the foot with this, But luckily enough when it came back from repair centre it had a broken screen So i wrote a massive complaint and they sent me a brand spankin' new one
They couldnt prove how the screen broke, so they also shot themselves in the foot.... But it wasnt me that broke it honest....
Anyway ive got a new one now so il be more cautious with this one, The old one is still here waiting to be sent back... But i think i will keep it a little longer in the hope that they will forget i have got it lol.
when it comes to repairs id rather just do it myself now, sending it in is alot of hassle in itself,

Well first off, why the HELL did you colour the void sticker? I mean how bored can you get, until you open back the back of your sensation (which is a nightmare) and start colouring in the sticker.....
PS: Listen to other people and go to the local shops. As long as you can pay, they will ask no questions.
Have a nice day mate!
Their repair service sucks. I sent it a couple of weeks ago and they only fixed half the problems it had and broke WiFi Bluetooth and the vibrate motor. I'm definitely getting a Samsung or the next iPhone when my contract is up :/ sucks cuz I really like htcs phones

I coloured it in because i thought the void had shown up AFTER the phone had been opened, I never noticed it before.
I thought if i colour it in, they will never know it had been open, I coloured it black to match the rest of the screws lol.

holy **** that is funny.
at least htc is better then samsung.
sent my infuse to them and after 14 minutes of them receiving it (according to their update **** that they email you everything they do to the phone blah), they determined it was water damaged (never once did it see water, and all the indicators, even the inside one was still stark white) it was sent back with a nice new red (always red/non liquid reactive) sticker dead center over the IMEI label.
contacted them to no avail. never buying another samsung product ever
Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks
Off course HTC will repair it, but it'll take longer and probably charge you a lot more than what you can it fixed for.
Out of curiosity do you/your girl not put the phone in a case or something?

Haha, no i did not.. But as soon as i get it fixed im gunna invest in a bulletproof / bombproof carbon kevlar box and keep it locked inside it !!!
Was it bought through a carrier or sim free? Could always take it to your carrier and see what they suggest, although they're not normally the cheapest, but at least it should get done properly.
Yeah i got it through vodafone, I think i will give them a call and see what they say.
I was considering taking out insurance, then in a few days call them and tell them its broken, This is risky.... what do you think the odds are with me getting away with it ?
Do you think they would notice the aftermarket digitizer ? It is an exact replica with HTC on it....

No, you won't get away with it, and it's dishonest, anyway. Don't make yourself a criminal over a cell phone.
Now, that being said, check Ebay. There are lots of vendors in the UK and elsewhere (lots here in the US) that sell replacement screen kits, many of which include instructions and tools.
If you're handy with small tools and careful, you can do this yourself for a fraction of what it will cost you to have it done. I learned this when my kid's iPod battery died some years ago. They're not user replaceable, and Apple wanted some outrageous amount to do it, plus you had to send it away. I found a guy on line that sold batteries with tools and directions, and in 20 minutes, she was good as new.
Pays to do it yourself.

I totally agree with you !! i do not want to result to fraudulent behaviour... BUT, i dont want to pay approx £80 for parts and make the whole situation worse by possibly making more damage.
BUT i also dont want to pay approx £150 - £200 thinking i could of fixed it for much less by doing it myself.
I am good with stuff like that and am very gentle and careful..... but i dont believe in myself lol
I recently replaced mine. Its not too terribly hard to do. But you have to get it just right. Currently the digitizer is a bit slow and unresponsive at time but I think i didnt get it in there completely right. So I'm going to dissaimble is again today and get it suck in better and see of that helps

Since the Sensation screen is made by two different manufactures is it possible to mix and match them or do you have to replace the screen with the same one with phone came with? I have a Sensation that needs a LCD that I have not taken apart yet. Im wanting to get the better screen but im not sure if I can just put the better screen in it if thats not what it came with in the first place.

Well it's much better to replace it with the same display just to be sure it's going to work. There's also a side by side comparison of the Sharp and Acer (AUO) displays
That said, you can check what panel you have using the instructions on this thread:

The display on my phone is completely destroyed so I cant use terminal emulator to look it up :-(
EDIT: I was doing some research on the part numbers on the back of my screen and I found this thread...

Post #8 has my same part number as mine (74h02057-00M) listed and in the same sentence AUO. So I have to assume it had the AUO screen which kinda sucks.

If somehow you can get it to get recognized by adb, you can issue the dmesg from there by using 'adb shell dmesg'

Ill let you all know how it turns out....
Well I got the screen and digitizer from the link above today. Installed it and its perfectly fine. No lag anywhere, registers touch like the stock one did. The LCD panel seems to be the same quality as the AUO panel but thats fine with me since im pretty sure this phone came with the AUO from the factory. If you do decide to replace your screen and digitizer i suggest getting them as separate pieces. Having them attached to each other made it sorta difficult to get back together cleanly.

Hey guys, New to the HTC sensation threads (its my Girlfriends phone)
Got her this phone about 6 months ago - 1 week after having it she dropped it and broke the digitizer anyway i got that fixed at my local phone shop with aftermarket digitizer - it worked well but you could tell it was not genuine.
anyway the other week i dropped it and broke the lcd screen yet the digitizer is fine and the phone is still 100% useable - except the display looks awful.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, is it worth fixing myself or taking it to the phone shop - Im embarrassed to go back and explain how it has broke again lol.... But i need to get it fixed, Im so close to having my wang removed by my girlfriend.
I was wondering whether or not HTC themselves would repair it ? and maybe replace the digitizer too, I dont mind paying the extra £££ for genuine parts and to be fixed by genuine HTC repairmen..
Any ideas how i can get out this mess ??
sorry for the long post.
Thanks

You must of dropped that phone from ten stories lol.. I rarely seen any lcd screen break or crack on the sensation. Being its made from aluminum and the screen is Gorilla Glass.. its tough stuff.. but sorry to hear that

well the day after i got it fixed i knocked it off the side onto tiled flooring, it cracked the lcd but not the digitizer... so weird lol
anyway since then i have had some signal issues with my provider, they have established that the handset is faulty, they are collecting it to repair it.
I still havent had the screen fixed so im just going to see what happens when they go to repair it, Maybe they will think they broke the screen and fix it before returning it to me. Or maybe they wont.... if thats the case i will argue with them that it was fine before they took it away from me
after all, they must have 100's of these phones in boxes gathering dust in their warehouse(s) so a little arguing and im sure i will get it fixed / replaced.
Shhhhh Moms the word !!!

Lol yeah I bet they do..but most of the insurance phones you get after your device breaks are refurbished. Cheap beat up and abused.. then recycled.. lol that sounded like a lifetime channel movie. Well I hope your back up and running again..and how'd that tile doing? Cheers mate
