Hello anyone
1st thread posted ever...utter noob needs help.
I have managed to root my Sensation and can now easily load custom ROMs.
But one thing I have noticed since I rooted my phone is that the screen will not turn black when I answer call and put the phone to my face. I think this is also connected to the fact the buttoms dont light up if I cover the sensor.
I have searched everywhere I can and cant find anything useful. I dont think it is a problem with the hardware as it was working before.
Hey Mr. Price, thanks for the text. what rom are u using?
well if it was working when it was stocked, have u tried to flash stock RUU
Hey man, cheers for all your help so far. Just found something odd. The home buttons do light up but only when I change the brightness of the screen (i changed it via power widget) they stay on until I press the power button, then back to square 1. Still no joy on the proximity sensor though. Do you have link on how to put everything back so I can start from scratch? Think I was on a different hboot but don't know if that makes any difference.

As i said, go to my Guide, in post 1, at the bottom of step 4 it tells u to flash ruu. with a link to it. just download it to your phone, connect your phone and run,
Hello and good morning..:crying:..my Nexus s I9023 with JB 4.1.1, stock, had a frozen Display and didn`t react to the powerbutton so i pulled the battery....and guess, what.....it doesn`t turn on anymore!! I had the battery out all night...nothing! ...put it on the charger...nothing!....eaven the pc does not recognise my Nexus...! ...what can I do?? btw....searched the Forum and did this "plug in USB, press volume up and down, slide in Battery, hold for 5 sec. ....nothing!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not an expert, but it seems a serious hardware problem.
As far as I know, there are for ways to switch on the nexus s.
1) ordinary power button
2) power button + vol up
3) vol up + vol down
4) plug in USB charger
The third method puts the phone in download mode, and Odin needs to be used. You have to look for the thread on how to restart the phone with a broken power button
Best wishes

if it is still in warranty send to the seller and if u are lucky u can have a new nexus s
....if there is no other option i will do that!!
If the screen does not turn on displaying the battery icon when you plug the charger to the usb, it may mean that they battery is completely flat or that the contacts are not working.
If you know someone who owns a nexus then try with another battery and another charger.
In any case, it is definitely better to give it to a service center for warranty replacement. They know how to make it work
Good luck

Exact same thing happened to me this morning! I just tried to send a text, my display blurred and the phone froze. When I pulled the battery it wouldn't turn back on >.<. Hesitant to send in for repairs though. I was running AOKP jb-build 1 and Air-kernel #201. It isn't being recognized by USB so I can't even flash it again. Tried to use the unbrickable resurrection program, but it doesn't get recognized, and I don't want to void the warranty further by opening the phone.
Any suggestions??

are you overclocking the cpu? This happened to me a few times until i finally clued it in my head. I was overclocking at 1400MHz and sometimes when i was using my phone for a while it would get hot and the screen would be all colourful and blurry and then it would freeze and I would have to take the battery out and reboot it
I was overclocking for a bit at a stable 1200 MHz for months, and usually hard resets fixed it. But if I remember correctly, I started using stock voltages and stock speeds with lazy governor a while back. It was stable until today. Usually the hard reset fixes it, but now its not even turning on or being recognized by USB
...wanted you all to know..just got my NS back today...they put in a New mainboard on warranty.l had to update Form 2.3.4 to ics and then to JB..........now i am happy:thumbup:

The 15 august of this year i had the same issue, 20 days later i received back from the seller my phone all fixed! I was a board problem, the board fried.... and here i am using my nexus to awnser u
Looks like I have been having nothing but problems lately.
First I was having the problem with the screen going all black (not off) where I had to press power button twice to get back to work.
Now I am getting this random locking of touch input until I press the power button twice.
Here is a video I just recorded of the monitor locking up and not reacting to touch input correctly.
Should I return this to Samsung? I don't have many days left on this refurbished warranty? Or could this just be a an OS glitch?
I did load a custom rom on here: Android Revolution HD 5.1
Should I just flash back to stock and root it and see if the problems occur?
Is anyone getting these?

No idea what's causing that but if you were going to take it back under warranty you would have to be using stock rom not custom anyway. So I would start with that and see if it's the rom causing the issue and if it's not and you've flashed back to stock rom then you may as well take it back under warranty.
Man I recently had this problem when I was tinkering with my note, but a reset fixed my problem. I have heard that this type of thing can happen if you flash the wrong recovery. Not saying thats the case, but more my two cents

Happens to me alot as well and mine aren't even rooted. It's usually when using LectureNotes, but maybe that's because it's the only app I really use the SPen with for longer periods of time. However, for me as for you the solution is just to quickly press the power button once and since it doesn't really appear that often that's fine by me.

@Axel_: Probably you know that already, but I received several reports by LectureNotes' users that the problem you describe does no longer occur after disabling Samsung's `AirView´.

Has anyone else experienced an issue with the sensors(gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, magnetic sensor) not working? The sensors will start working every now and then like once a month, for a couple of days. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

What ROM are you using? Can you exclude that this is a software error?

This problem has persisted on every Rom I have used, from Stock, to TrickDroid, to PACman. When I first installed PACman the problem went away for about a month, I thought it was gone for good. I think its a software error since it starts to work every now and then, but I don't really know.

Hmm interesting. Do you still have warranty ? Its a known One X problem so try the following:
- Calibrate your sensor in the settings (will not solve your problem i think)
- Reboot your phone and hold your Power+Volume Up Button at the same time (WHILE reboot,hold them down). Let it bootloop a few times. 4-5 times should be fine. Then release the power button but still hold down your Volume Up Button. Now let it boot. It works for some users without any real explanation.
Good luck

I don't think I have warranty---I never paid for it when I bought the phone. Yeah calibrating the sensor does nothing for me. I tried the second option but I'm not sure if i'm doing it right. The phone doesn't keep rebooting unless I let go of the power button after it turns off. And thanks for the help so far!

You got 2 years warranty on every HTC phone (in Germany. But it has to be 1-2 years outside too). Me neither,i got it for free from a marketing research program and it was ok to send them a copy of my receipt. Anyways, i will help you tomorrow its late here.

Thanks a lot! If this ends up not working out I guess I could just use the warranty
Try to boot in safe mode and then try to calibrate your sensor via settings. Completly shut down your phone and then push the power button until the screen turns on. When you see the HTC logo,hold down the Vol - button. You now should be in safe mode.

I'm on PAC rom...I don't there is an option to calibrate the sensor, but I tried this while I was on stock and it didn't work.
Normally there has to be an option. Are you sure? Look under Display Settings. Try this out: Sensor Calibrator

There would be an option but there isn't on the custom rom that I'm on. That app is for the Proximity Sensor...my proximity sensor works, what doesn't work is the gyroscope, accelerometer,compass, magnetic sensor, and orientation sensor. I think I'll just have to send it in and use the warranty.
Hmm that really doesnt sounds like a simple software error... Hope you still got warranty

I guess I have HTC warranty cause I haven't had the phone for a year yet, the only problem is that I bought the phone online with T-mobile, I didn't get a receipt, so I don't have a proof of purchase. Thanks for the help!
it's a hardware issue guaranteed

I am sure you got an e-mail from them about your purchase. Or call them and ask if they can send you any proof of purchase. Good luck!

I'm not an expert but is a really strange bug.. maybe if you install some rom like FlyonGB in the development part, it will be fixed.. I'm not sure but you can try...
Make XXKPE full install without root or diodex and check again....if you still face this problem there is a big chance it's related to the hardware
Btw, I am not an expert.
I got mine fixed by replacing the cable flex it was a hardware problem
