Bluetooth stereo audio is of very poor quality. Compression noise on my Sennheiser MM400 headset is really bad for high pitch sounds. With my old HTC Legend, the stereo bluetooth output was indistinguishable from a cabled connection. The strength of the bluetooth signal is excellent though, and has a really good range.

I hope this one is fixed soon as it is driving me mad. The HTC Legend received a dodgy update once which reduced the bluetooth quality (HTC fixed it with a later update).

It's because in search boxes Android doesn't predict text. I guess because a lot of the time you're looking up names or brands. Took me a while to figure out why trace wasn't working, especially after Shapewriter on my N1 worked fine everywhere.
[HTC Sensation] phi11ip:
Erm... What time is it on your phone? Mine says 1732 which is about 5 mins fast. Could this be a Vodafone issue though?

- Judy unticked and reticked the auto time box and it reset. One to keep an eye on there!
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
I just noticed that! Wonder why that is...
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
I'm starting to think this is all overheating caused by the radio. Today, for no reason, it got very hot, 48 degrees according to the app I'm using, it should be around 33. There was a runaway process (HTC's Sense version of facebook) that seemed to be in a look trying to update itself. It became very slow and then crashed. It was very very hot. I've had network connection problems since I bought it which Voda say is their issue at the moment but as the phone is desperately trying to connect to something, it's heating up, then you do something like the camera and it's just too much for it. Anyway, I'm changing both the handset and the sim tomorrow morning for a second and last attempt, otherwise its over to Samsung and I've used HTC phones for the last 5 years.

Contacts - Default Action

EDIT: Found the cause... you need to add the contacts (in my case my favorites) to the Starred in Android group on the web based google email account, then the defualt actions stick.... cant see that being mentioned in the help guide! Must be something to do with the sync process. :-)

I'm new to android, so dont know whether this is a common problem with the people widget but the "Default Action" does'nt stick... for some reason the options are lost after a few hours or when the phone is re-strated.

Is there a work around for this???

If not, can anyone recommend another good contacts widget that do have default actions and perhaps scroll and have large contact pictures??

Cheers

Vodafone need to sort their network time out. Now running 8 minutes fast. This probably affects at least all of their android customers. You'd think a network the size of Vodafone might use an NTP server.
[HTC Sensation] phi11ip:
What's the temperature app called? Mine got very hot using Facebook the other day too. Maybe it's linked.
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
It was one of the battery monitor apps actually but has temperature on it too. Battery Indicator Pro (not free) and I think quite a few battery ones show temperature somewhere. Quite handy. It rest at about 26-30 but when its playing up (trying to get a signal I think) it goes up to 46-47 which is alarmingly hot. When I use it as a satnav in the car on charge, you actually cant touch the bottom half of the screen its so hot.

Its going back today for a replacement handset anyway so we'll see.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Now running a whole 10 minutes fast. I thought I was late to work! :)
[HTC Sensation] bloke:
That's strange, my DHD was running 15 mins fast yesterday afternoon. By the time I'd driven home it seemed to sort itself out... I'm on O2 in the UK. Probably a time sync error somewhere
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
To get the temperature you can also do that (it works on every android handset):

Open dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*

Then tap Battery Information and it should say the temperature on the bottom.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Found a small bug yesterday:

If the phone rings whilst headphones are plugged in, and the call is rejected, the call is successfully rejected but the ringtone will continue playing through the headphones for anywhere between 5 and 10 seconds.

Can anyone confirm?
[HTC Sensation] phi11ip:
That would involve me having friends who want to ring me. :(

I'll try this weekend if nobody else does.

What is going on with android time settings. My friend's Desire has now gone 12 minutes fast - on 3uk!
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Umm, well, there may be some problem with the time servers htc's phones are syncing with. Never had any problem with time on my Desire though :confused:
[HTC Sensation] FrameworkTraining:
Anyone having problems with mp3 playback? The stock music player, full version of PowerAMP, are silent. The progress bars on the playback screen don't move. also Solo Lite (guitar chords thing) fires off the vibration, but no sound (have checked Media volume level!). RD3, a synthesiser, plays fine, as does Youtube.

It's like the mp3 codec isn't installed or something. Any ideas?

Edit: haha, forgot the golden rule of tech support: "have you tried switching it off and back on again?"

Working now :D

cant put in postcode to contacts

i cant type in a post code apparently this is a common fault when i rang htc he found the fault to however he used the word "feature" and then said we may fix it if it is important... i said i type in 2 addresses a day i need to be able to type a post code as i have 2000 names and addresses in my phone

atm i have to type the post code into state and at the end of the day log into my exchange and copy it over to post code and i cant even do copy and paste on the phone because the field is locked to numbers

avi sound problem

also have you found if you watch a avi file on the phone the sound cuts out after 2 mins if you move the time slider it comes back for two more mins
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
Is anyone seeing distorted lines going through some of their widgets....I get lines going through BBC widget and some android widgets like translator. Anyone else getting it?
[HTC Sensation] ehrine:
The time thing is a known fault to do with syncing with time servers. They're working on it (it's across most HTC phones running sense, not just the sensation).
[HTC Sensation] skpManiac:
I had this too

Delete the icon, and redo it

the error is caused by you moving the app after install

Anyone know what to do to get Google video to work or make video calls?
[HTC Sensation] Lucas0511:
I thought I make a quick note here, if someone has a similar problem. I tried to connect Sensation with my Netgear DGN2000 router with MAC access control list activated. I took the MAC address that is shown in the Sense screen where one enters the WPA password. But it would not connect. I then deactivated the MAC access control, connection was immediate. But when I took a look at the list of connected devices the Sensations MAC address was totally different from the one shown in the Sense page.

So it seems better to trust the MAC address shown in the Hardware info page, or what your router is showing, but not Sense setup.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
are you sure the first one you put in was the wifi address? it might have been the bluetooth address. look at the MAC address that your router address is reporting & see if that's listed anywhere in the wifi settings on your phone. your wifi & bluetooth addresses will have the same first 6 letters/numbers (identifier for htc)
[HTC Sensation] Lucas0511:
Actually, the Sense WiFi setup dialogue shows the MAC of the router you want to connect to. I thought this was a new feature, silly me, Sense showing you your Sensations MAC address during setup so that you could conveniently use it for your routers access list. This not being the case I guess one still has to connect any Android mobile to the router with access list de-activated until one can access the settings info page with the hardware info, containing the actual MAC address.
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
Anyone else who wonders why the sea forum at the top sub-level, like sensation general, isn't smooth? Had the same on my HD2, but only on default browser of stock android or sense. Opera was fine, though I didn't test that on sensation yet, but that should be as smooth really.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I haven't used Android yet, but I doubt you have to connect to the router without MAC address filtering on before you can see the wifi address of your phone. You should be able to turn on wifi on the phone & in the settings find the address in there. That's at least how it's done on my HD2 with WM6.5 (and all previous WM versions)

[HTC Sensation] Lucas0511:
Relax. The essence for Sense 3 noobs is that the Wifi setup dialogue in the initial startup shows the router MAC, and not the one of the Sensation. One still has to revert to the phone settings to find the correct MAC after the configuration of Sense and the phone. - Closed -
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
If WiFi is enabed you can actually just check your WiFi MAC address in about phone -> hardware information. At least that's where I find it in my dutch version, it even mentions mac address etc in the subtext of the menu option. Confirmed by comparing reported client MAC address in the router with what's reported on the phone.

To come back to my previous post, not sure what I wanted to say where i said subsea, but it's odd that sometimes something is smooth and sometimes the same thing isn't.

My "Event" last night

Had a bit of an "event" this morning...

Had my alarm set for 3.09 as I have had like forever on my Nexus 1:D

Put the phone on charge and put it to sleep.

At 02.55 the phone wakes me up with Angry Birds Rio running and playing the music.

I closed this and the music player started playing the last song I was listening to before i went to sleep.

I closed this and the contacts list popped up.

I closed this and it opened Facebook.

Closed that and no more opened - the alarm went off at 3.09 like it should.

Strange thing is that all the screens and apps that opened "of their own accord" were the last ones that I was using the previous night:confused:

has anyone experienced this or care to take a stab at what might have actually caused it? Really cant have this happening

every

night.....

cheers,

J.

^^^ this happens to me all the time, the whole phone cuts out with sound forcing me to reboot.

Sometimes im even getting distortion in icons and home screens.

Plus i dont seem to be able to play tv series mkv files with sound (software gives low fps but sound, hardware give smooth fps but no sound.....)

Other then that no bugs so far.

For the MKV, it contains this:

Tried with 6 different players and NONE where able to playback with sound when hardware encoding was on (software has horrible fps)

Not so much a bug but I have had two sensations within a week and both have let dust in under the screen, I picked my new one up just yesterday, no dust, today I have one piece of dust under the screen. Now considering I purchased off contract to the tune of £529 I would not expect dust under the screen, anybody else noticed this or am I the most unlucky guy in the world?

[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
Two issues with my Sensation:

Firstly, the battery cover does not fit on right. The screen wobbles when I push it on the right or left side and it makes a creaking noise.

Second, the touchscreen occasionally stops functioning correctly. It misses the first press, and it can't handle fast movements. This makes it really difficult to scroll through lists like my app drawer or tweetdeck. Instead of scrolling smoothly it skips around and sometimes just presses one of the entries. I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.

http://doublejump.eu/video-2011-06-05-11-40-13.mp4

Here's a video of the touchscreen being weird in multitouch visualizer. Unlike an earlier poster, I get 4-pt multitouch but it lags a lot when you move quickly. Rebooting solves the issue temporarily but it always ends up coming back.

By contrast, on the Galaxy S II:

http://doublejump.eu/VIDEO0014.3gp

Anybody else getting strange behaviour like this?

Also, I noticed in build.prop that screencaptures was commented out/disabled. Wonder what the deal with that is.
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
I have noticed the camera one, but what is happening to me is the screen ain't responding all of the time to touch commands, I will click and app and it won't do nothing it will usually be the second attempt it will start the app, when typing on the keyboard, I will miss a letter I I'll touch the screen, but I will nit receive any feedback

I had the wrong link, fixed now. If anything the two videos should show the difference in video recording between the SGS2 and Sensation. Focussing is better on the Sensation since it has touch-to-focus in video recording :)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Right, just remembered camera problem. Wouldn't always respond to shutter button. Now we need to work out wherever its software or hardware problem.

Thing is, these problems normally occurred after wake up or reboot, if that helps to narrow it down.

When I have phone in freeze mode - it's 2 hours

When I have phone Powered-off (switch-off via power button, remove battery, wait 2-3 minutes, battery back in, no powering-on ang chargning without switching device on) - it's 2 hours,

I didn't try to charge when phone is on, beacouse I charged two times now. As we all know (or not :)), battery haveto be formatted (meaning charged 3-times on phone freezed or powered-off) to make it better :)

Deathgrip (loss of signal when holding landscape) now dust under screen!

Yeah you are right on the money about dust under screen.

there is a gap between the top glass and the LCD panel which coz the dust under screen problem.

iPhone4 if you look from angel you can see it looks like its pasted to the top glass.

maybe that's why they don't have dust in screen.

I am having weird issue where randomly the phone just goes haywire. Mainly when I am trying to enter text, it's either ignoring what I am typing or just randomly typing in letters. Then the menus and different options would pop up and get activated as if a ghost was controlling my phone. After resetting the phone it might be ok for a while but it already happened several times and i only had the phone since last night....

Do I need to go and exchange for different unit???
