Reading about dust under the screen gives me shivers. I went through 3-4 HTC Heros (Sprint) because they kept getting dust under the screen. I now have an LG G2X and from what I can tell the display is similar to iPhone 4 (they provide the screen for iPhone anyway) in that it's IPS and is stuck onto the glass. I cannot see any gap between the glass and the display as I could with Hero and other phones. This gives better viewing angles and no ability for dust under screen.

I'm never buying a phone that has reports of this problem, it used to drive me freaking insane.

that's weird... my HTC calendar works fine with google calendar... it shows what on Google Calendar without extra work.
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
I've been having intermittent data issues since I picked mine up from Wal-Mart yesterday. Despite having 4 bars of 4G coverage, I continually get network error messages or timeouts. If I reboot the phone, my data speeds are blazing fast for a few minutes, then the issues start happening again. I definitely think the problem is with the phone and not the network, as the issue is not isolated to a single tower and I'm in a fairly large metropolitan area (STL).

Other than that, I'm loving the phone.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Your Home launcher (Sense) crashed and closed so Android goes back to the last app you used. IF you had hit HOME at Angry Birds, it would have relaunched Sense and phone would have gone to homescreen. Instead since you hit back, it went through all cached applications (in the order of usage).

This exists even in Honeycomb today!! I always lock my XOOM on the homescreen so if I turn it on and see an app running, I know Launcher crashed and I just hit HOME.

Full Web pages in stock browser

I cant seem to get the stock browser to stop showing mobile pages. I have uncheked the mobile view, and have set the UA string to desktop, but sites still come up in mobile mode. On my Nexus one this worked perfectly. I know I can use other browsers, but I want to figure out how to get the stock browser working the same as I have always used it.

Button lights always on

The button backlights remain on at all times when in the dark, handy when using the phone.

But a real eyesore when trying to watch a movie
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Since a couple of days my simcard keeps resetting.

Meaning that when im busy browsing/playing games or what so ever, suddenly my pincode pops up and i notice in the bar that the simcard aint enabled.

So i tick in my pincode, then suddenly i get a message from HTC Sense. Saying that i put in a new simcard (?!?), while its clearly still the same one as when i bought it 2 weeks ago.

This happened now for atleast 15 times already here and only happens when im doing something on the phone.

My guess is that the phone gets too hot (as the sim is placed directly above the parts that get quite hot when using) and then causes the sim to malfunction.

Temps are around 40-41 degrees Celsius when this happens.

Anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Same here, having issues with data just not working at all frequently, and I'm in T-Mobile USA (and HTC USA's) hometown. So sad. I had AT&T before, and sadly my Inspire 4G got way better speed and reliability on that network than I'm seeing on t-mobile

Combine that with the fact that inside most buildings at work I only have 2G *and* the WiFi only works about 10% of the time, the phone is mostly inoperable. I'm still trying to love it :confused:

Speaking of which, is anyone else having issues with WiFi? It just cycles from scanning to associating to disconnected. Reboot with battery pull doesn't seem to fix it reliably. It's happening on both WiFi networks I've tried it on, both of which are using WPA2-AES, one with a pre-shared key (my home network), one with user authentication (corporate network).
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
Get the handset replaced for sure. My first one had all sorts of issues which I put down to it getting hot like yours. My new one and a mate of mines dont get hot at all, even when on wifi and sat nav, etc. so I think there are quite a number of faulty ones floating about. If it get hot or misbehaved go and change it and save yourself time trying to track down the problem. I've not had any problems since I changed mine
[HTC Sensation] The_Greek:
I experienced the same problem back when i got my DHD. It appeared to be a problematic data cable. After a visit to service, it operates faultless...

I would advise you to return it...
[HTC Sensation] jankyboy:
Same issue here. A reboot or putting the phone into plane mode and back out seems to fix for a while.

I don't have connectivity issues with my T-Mobile Nexus S, although it's not a 4G phone (don't know if that might have something to do with the problem). I even swapped SIMs, but the issue continues now and then.

Hoping a software update can fix. Aside from that, I love the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Glad to hear this. Cause I know for certain mine sensation didn't get hot at all. 4 days in now.

Same issue... This fix only resolved my issue temporarily. Data issue seems to come and go at random times.
[HTC Sensation] all4degame:
I bought this phone yesterday for my sister. I'm currently having the same data issues as jankyboy posted above. Seems like many other are having the same issue, along with the T-Mobile Sensation demo at my local store. 4G icon shows up, full bar coverage, but the data freezes.

TO THOSE THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING THE SENSATION....

I would visit your local T-Mobile store and play with their demo for 20-30 minutes. See if you can get the data to freeze by surfing the internet, downloading apps, and ect. Data will occasionally work, but is very flaky. Once it does work, its about 10-11MBits at peak (Tulsa, OK).

Hopefully they fix this issue soon, otherwise this phone is going back to the store in 12 days.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Tried that but the symptoms return.
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
My first one was rebooting a lot and the report says System crash and tell hTc it happened 3 times and the phone was very slow. I returned it today and got anther one will see how it will work. really Mytouch 4G was more stable than this phone.
[HTC Sensation] blaboy51:
Am i the only one whose battery drains so fast. My battery drains 20% in two hours with the screen off and not doing anything. Then when i have the screen on and i am doing stuff its fine. Might have to get a replacement.
[HTC Sensation] mmeiklejohn:
got mine at walmart today, definitely a little buggy but getting better. i have the same issue with mobile sites even though the box is unchecked and the desktop sites are entered in. definitely having the wifi death grip issue when held tightly in landscape mode. battery life is great, spent the entire day on it out of the box with sync and wifi on. did some light surfing, downloading and mostly customizing. the notification light a bit disappointing, but other than that I think after the first update this puppy should be good to go. is there ever a device that comes out perfect the day of the launch? I am not as happy as I thought, but not panicking...
[HTC Sensation] andbakk:
Had a strange bug this morning. I couldn't play music (songs skipping to the next one all the time), pictures couldn't be shown, videos weren't recognized and there was no sound at all. All the contents on the sd-card showed, but couldn't be accessed. Tried to reboot, but got a bootloop at the HTC logo. Pulled the battery and removed the sd-card. Put them back in again, and started the phone again. This time everything works perfectly again...

As others have experienced, I also have problems with the touchscreen from time to time. Lockscreen not responsive until the third og fourth swipe. Also when viewing pictures in the gallery, I have to press the image twice before it responds. A bit irritating, and hoping this is a software issue.

The phone has been overheating one time. At first charge, the phone reached 62°C (!) before rebooting itself... it has not happend since.

I have also experienced grafical stripes over some widgets, but this is usually fixed with a reboot.

Quite a few bugs, and I am hopeful this will be resolved in a future update. On the plus side, my Sensation does not suffer from the death grip.
[HTC Sensation] andbakk:
Got an issue/bug in the HTC music player lockscreen widget. The "play" and "forward" buttons are blue, and the "previous" button is black. Pretty sure all of there buttons were black a few days ago... Can anyone check this on their phone?
[HTC Sensation] Rick8219:
several issues Htc Sensation

While loading or mininum/maximum using my Htc, my phone gets very hot down at the lcd screen and down on backside of the phone. Also app icons are disappearing and phone does reboot itself sometimes.

Are there any other people who are facing one or more problems from above.

[HTC Sensation] VideoVeteran:
Same here. Sometimes it redirects you to the Market for an app to load. For example it seems impossible to access this forum using the browser. Yet using the browser on my Android Tablet (Froyo), I have no problem.

I installed Opera and it did the same thing.

heat issues & death grip

havent had any issues with the phone overheating (definitely had that on my desire). the death grip wasn't nearly as bad today as it only reduced the signal a little bit at some angles, never a full loss of signal like yesterday. havent had too much data freezing either in milwaukee
[HTC Sensation] lilcleo001:
Screen

I was playing a game for about 10 minutes and the phone got hot quickly. The other issue I have is when touching on the bottom right of the screen it pushes in and I can hear it click in. Definitely a hardware/design issue.

I've had my phone for 2 days. Everything good except the screen lets in dust. That's pretty annoying.

[HTC Sensation] Foirzie:
Hi, I'm new here and after a history of several smartphones this is my first android OS buy.

I have got 2 questions.

First, Is there a way to mass copy contacts FROM my sdcard TO sim. I googled this a bit and i didn't get a clear answer.

Second, I am using the Live Weather Wallpaper. And it only changes whenever I connect to internet, it should changewhen not connected to internet as it has all the hourly predictions once i've gathered them from the web.

Could it be possible however that it only changes once every hour or two? Meaning that if I connect to internet within the hour I force change it by updating?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
Can't answer your first question, but I can tell you that the weather app and associated animations updates at set intervals based on what's configured in the settings. When it updates, it updates based in what it pulls from the internet. You can change the update intervals in the weather app settings.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Go to contacts, menu, import v card from sd...
[HTC Sensation] pigo95:
If no one have ever mentioned this issue , the Sensation would stop the sound of my videos half way in the video
[HTC Sensation] Foirzie:
I have these intervals set to 1/ per hour.

But do i need internet connection for my wallpaper to change? I thought it didn't?

If i have no internetconnection, and only updated the weather app in the morning the weather on my wallpaper en lockscreen will remain unchanged until late at night when it's already dark, it doesn't even change to the moon.

Doesn't work, it says i have no Vcards in my SD.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
Sometimes i wonder if the "normal" extreme hotness that i get on my phone in daily use i.e. above 40 degrees celsius, could damage the touch screen.. i remember a friend left his htc hero in the car in the sun had his touch screen become unresponsive as usual.. erkk.
[HTC Sensation] afhum:
I mean.. Less responsive than usual*
[HTC Sensation] Bootsolja318:
Samething is happening to my phone. Sound cuts out on only videos that i downloaded and transfered from my PC. But if its streaming it plays fine. I even went to walmart and exchanged the phone for another one and i'm having the same problem
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
It is a smartphone, they are built with the assumption that each and every user has a constant network connection. Current weather, is as it sounds, current. It has to get an update using your data connection to know what to change it to, it can't just assume that the forecast is correct (when is it ever?). That isn't a bug, it is like that be design. Not having an internet connection pretty much kills the smartphone experience.

I know that adrenaline CF 2.0 has it but that kernel straight murders my battery, is there something I'm supposed to do in the terminal emulator to change values or something to make the battery life alot better? People say they love it and its great on the battery, it has to be something I'm missing...

I'm using the leankernal extreme right now and love it but the call recorder app doesn't work with it to record calls internally, IV tried other Apps too so I'm guessing it's a kernel issue..... Any suggestions? Thanks alot in advance

Has anyone tried to port the 3.1 version from the Xoom to the TF?

The hardware is almost the same and we have the kernel sources from Asus, so there should be no problems, or?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roach2010:
I think that's a good idea but I don't see the point as we will get 3.1 from Asus soon enough. I'm happy to wait a few weeks with what we have just now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boqonx:
Agreed. Might as well spent the time and effort on optimizing kernel & stock ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
bad idea to port it.

1) you'll lose microsd support most likely

2) you'll lose support for the keyboard dock.

and i'm sure some other things would get screwed up as well.

Asus customized honeycomb to enable microsd, the keyboard dock, and it's USB/SD ports. If you install the Xoom version of honeycomb, you'll lose all those.

it's only a couple more weeks until we get 3.1. This isn't samsung guys, just wait a little bit longer.

Cyanogen mod is a great one. I installed on 24/5 and it took me 1 day to install that. Because i made a mistake installing 1.7 2nd init .

I don't want any others to get into trouble by a small mistake.

STEPS:

1.Install RSD lite.

IT IS GOOD TO FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE ON STOCK RECOVERY BEFORE YOUR FLASH.

2.Download an froyo sbf .I recommend this ( http://depositfiles.com/en/files/tjnmh6d98 ) 3.4.3-11 "The latest 2.2.1".

3.Flash it on keeping your phone in boot loader mode by pressing volume up +power .

5.Dont unplug your phone until you get a good result (PASS).

4.Now skip or configure motoblur and keep your phone ready.

5.Now download gingerbreak.apk and Root your phone (www.mediafire.com/?it8h9z1dbta50i0 ) v 1.20 is the latest

6.Download cyanogen mod (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1033654 )

7.Download Google apps (http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ )

8.Copy both the zip files on to your sd card

NOW U HAVE ROOTED UR PHONE AND YOU ARE NEARLY READY TO INSTALL CM7!!

"DONT DOWNLOAD AND USE 2ND INIT V 1.7 BECAUSE CM7 WONT WORK ON IT"

9.Download 2nd init v 1.4.2 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 )

10.Install recovery on your phone and reboot twice fully till your home screen

11.When you reboot you will be automatically taken into recovery.

IF RECOVERY DOESNT COME THEN PRESS VOLUME DOWN BUTTON WHEN BLUE LIGHT COMES DURING BOOTUP

IF U ARE CAUGHT IN A BOOT LOOP THEN GO INTO STOCK RECOVERY AND WIPE YOUR DATA AND CACHE

EVEN IF U ARE IN BOOTLOOP U CAN ACCESS RECOVERY AND BOOT INTO BLUR

12.Go into recovery --> custom recovery and format data and cache and wipe cache

13.Install zip ---->Choose zip from sd card-----> cyanogen mod7 zip file

DONT WIPE OR FORMAT DATA OR CACHE AFTER INSTALLING CM7

14.Install google apps (gapps) zip by the same method and reboot your phone

15.Go to boot ---->2nd init

NOW YOU WILL GET CM7 LOGO.........WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES UR SCREEN WILL DIM ...........

NOW U WILL BE TAKEN TO YOUR HOME SCREEN OF CM7!!!!!!

IF UR GETTING CM7 LOGO THEN U R !! PASS !!

It's been awhile since I installed CM7 beta6. I followed this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054447

It says:

10. go into custom recovery and wipe data/cache

11. go back to main custom recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard" then go to "choose zip from sdcard"

12. select the cyanogenmod 7 zip

13. go back to recovery menu and repeat step 10, then select the Gapps zip and install (google apps)​

It sounded not logical to me to wipe again after the update but can't remember if I really did that 2nd wipe back then. It's contradictive to this guide. Can someone please explain?
