Hi All,

I found out that I only have this issue when I use other charger than HTC charger. It happened when I "borrow" my colleague BB charger to charge my Sensation. Once I plugged in, the touch screen become unresponsive and all the problem as mentioned in this thread but it only happen when the phone on the table not when I am holding it. No issue when I switch back to the original HTC charger...

Try the SEARCH function 1st as there has been NUMEROUS threads addressing this issue. Click my sig & hit thanks.
[HTC Sensation] crajay:
is this problem worth exchanging? i also have the death grip issue
[HTC Sensation] robotnoize:
Exchanged mine at Walmart for this reason and a scratch on the display. New one seems to be working flawlessly so far. Will report back here if things change.
[HTC Sensation] alxr31:
Same for me, I can confirm the same, unit comes from the US Date on back cover is 14/05/11 and is from Malaysia. It comes and goes and i cant find a pattern except the fact that when is fully charged is alot better. Any news from HTC for this issue guys?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Unresponsiveness on unlocking and keyboard really need to be fixed. Getting annoying when I try to write a message.

It happens especially when I go to outside. Maybe high temperature or pressure on my pocket may cause this. Don't know.
[HTC Sensation] hellzlegend:
mine also stopped working after a few days.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
What do you mean by stopped working? Is it completely useless right now?

advanced task kille

Hi i had all of the above problems with my sensation and i worked out thart it was advanced task killer causing it now i have removed it all works fine again! dont no if that was really the problem or just coinsidence but worth a try :)
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
Well I started having this issue. But what I realize is if you put your finger on the ring and wait just a sec and than swipe it unlocks without a fuzz.

I read all the messages and what I wonder is if this can be corrected by some screen calibration. Does anyone find a way or know how to calibrate Sensation's screen?

I'm asking this because I think phone's screen wrongly interprets the touches. For example if I put my finger nearly touching the soft keys it unlocks instantly. If i put my finger on the ring it tries to move the icon above it like mail or camera depending on which angle I put my finger.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Well I've had my phone for almost 2 months no problems now yesterday I'm having the same issue.. I will mention I used a tmobile car car charger on the trip to the shore about 2 hours .. and now its funky
[HTC Sensation] file4friend:
I also had Lock Screen and other touch screen problems yesterday after two weeks of using this phone.

Phone sat in my pocket and it was a very hot day and by the evening Sensation was very warm, espessially the bottom half of it. ALSO, I used friend's car charger (this phone had not been previously charged by any car charger) but I don't recall if Sensation started having issues before or after I charged it for just couple minutes.

In addition to the LockScreen, "return" button acted funcky, could not hang up calls, basically the whole botton part of the screen felt warm and did not function properly. The only way to unlock was to touch the ring and very slowly drag it up or drag an app into the ring.

Removed phone from the silicon case and it was back to nornal after it cooled down a little.

I agree with some of the opinions that it is heat related. And car charger probably another way this phone heats up by charging.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
buddy try screen calibration...
[HTC Sensation] diosys:
congratulations....today i became a victim of this...after two weeks this is exactly what is happening...Though did one thing posted somewhere here and for the past 2 hours it is working fine here (touchwood !!!)

1.) Choose a new theme fro HTC hub.

2.) Select that and install.

3.) Restart the phone.

and Viola my started behaving normally (atleast till now)...

try it guys...some people have found it working some not...
[HTC Sensation] pa3e:
I had the same issue for a long time on my sensation..

The troubleshooting guide on htc web site advised me to boot up the phone in the safe mode.

I haven't had any issues with touchscreen in safe mode!!!

And the most important part!! After restarting the phone... touchscreen start to respond perfectly!!!!

I've installed touch test apps to see how the swiping works..

Everything is perfect as it should be!!! ;)

Hope it will help to you!!
[HTC Sensation] willumpie82:
when the touchscreen seems inresponsive, try to touch the alu part of the phone, the capacitive screen needs a reference to work correctly, therefore when you hold the phone by any metal part, the phone is sort of grounded and the touchscreen responses are far better. i noticed this not only with my Sensation but also the HTC desire and the HTC hero
[HTC Sensation] cristy7610:
i have the same problem

i have the same problem with sensation from this morning,the phone was buy from vodafone market monday last week and now the touch screen is very slow specialy with the unlock ring.i try hard reset and allots of tweeks but without any resaults.i read above that if you do a safe boot is posible to get rid of this problem..how can i do this..i hope that somebody will find a answer for this problem
[HTC Sensation] cristy7610:
i made also in boot safe mode but don't fix the problem..i think this is a major problem like iphone 4 when was launched first time and have problems with drop signal..i guess we have the same problem and is hardware...mybe i"m wrong .....is so many costumers with this problem and i hope somebody tell as if is software or hardware
[HTC Sensation] alxr31:
Hi guys, Ive posted a 2months ago and was having all the touch related issues and now all is back to normal. The problem came 10 days after I bought the phone and was coming and go constanly. After 20-25 days ago with the problem the phone is completly back to normal. I believe that is a hardware issue (probably grounding) and that after a while it will go for everybody. I think that is something with the antennas conections (pins) and after a while they find the proper fit. I really hope this will stay from now on! :) I will post for any updates. Cu
[HTC Sensation] pLAYdOPE:
After trading in my first Sensation for dust under the screen, my second Sensation has these "major" touchscreen unresponsive problems (swyping, typing, unlocking, tapping instead of swype) after about a week.

Screen calibration and draining battery to less than 10% then fully recharging phone helped alot. Phone is more responsive BUT still not as smooth as butter like how i remember. My wife's Sensation works perfectly fine (her phone is never in a pocket, only purse when we're out)

Could it be a combination of heat and static building up in our pockets? :confused: I use a hard rubberized case and so does my wife.

Things I've tried but problems still exists:

- factory reset including clearing SD data

- removing case and screen protector :mad:

- restarting and powering off

- removing battery
[HTC Sensation] tonnytech:
dont have a sensation yet but find all these issues extremly worrying, that being said the heat thing could be possible seen similar things with htc desire when its gets hot ... ie screen becoming unresponsive.
[HTC Sensation] gingerc:
Guys,

I've got a dust streak down the right side of my phone and am awaiting replacement (details in another thread!)...but wanted to post in this thread about screen responsiveness:

This morning I came into work and bunged my Sensation onto the mains charger (HTC supplied charger) but with my black mesh case still on...and I noticed the screen was completely unresponsive. By that I mean I couldnt pull the ring, it was sort of stuck at the bottom unless I pulled it slowly and methodically, when I did get in to the homescreen random apps would start as I swiped over them and I couldnt scroll up or down on Friend Stream, the unit was just generally unresponsive and erratic.

So...

I pulled the mesh case off, plugged into charger again and lo and behold all OK!

I saw someone had mentioned grounding...perhaps this is the answer. Well it was for me anyway :-) Hope this helps someone else too.

HTC Sensation screen problems screen lag

Hy guys,

In just 2 days after unboxing my sensation I noticed the screen problem: unlock screen after 2-4 attempts, I couln't get the carousel, very lagy in pinch to zoom, so I Googled this problem and what I have read about it made me angry BUT what really catch my attention were 3-4 posts on xda: 1 guy told that he is at his 6'th device (they changed it with brand new ones because of this pb) and athers told that the problem simply dissapeared after 3-4 days so I wrote to HTC, asked them about it, but they can't say if it's a hardware problem, suggesting to get intouch with the service company wich I didn't. I was very frustrated for 4-5 days about it but I decided to keep it for 2 weeks and after that to send it to service.

Today, I am very pleased to tell you all that after 2 weeks -1 day, the problem is simply gone. I dind't made anything special yesterday, just left it as it was. In the first day I have rooted it, burned a stock ROM, when I noticed the screen problem I tryed a lot of things like screen booster app,.. but yesterday I just left it alone and today it's OK.

DON'T SEND IT BACK if you have this problem, live with it for 2 weeks and send it after that. Better with it for 2 weeks than without the device for just the same as long.
[HTC Sensation] jools5431:
Me too,

I've got the same screen problems on my second phone.

I won't bore you as I think everyone else has covered all my symptoms in their posts.
[HTC Sensation] nick1979123:
Same Problem here,.. After two weeks with perfect responding touchscreen, I also have problem with unlocking etc. BUT... I did some testing, and found out the following : When NOT holding the phone (laying on table or cauch) I have to swipe over the unlock ring up to 6 - 9 times to finally unlock the screen! BUT when i am holding the phone in my hands (Touching metal back-plate and squeeze a bit) I discovered that unlocking works almost every 1st attempt !! Anyone else with touchsreen problems have the same behaviour?

However yesterday was cleaning out my drawer and found

the stock HTC plug-in charger .. Well I needed to charge fast

was leaving in a few .. so i used it ..

Well Guess what ? Right after charging with the HTC Charger

I couldn't un-lock the screen!

I have been charging it with the computer usb and not had this problem

since i used the "fix" ..

So it seems the HTC Stock charger DOES Make the screen unresponsive!
[HTC Sensation] NoebNoeb:
Hi guys also having screen problems, and after reading through these pages i tought of the following:

Doesn't there seem to be to seperate problems?

1) Screen generally unresponsive, including lock screen

2) Phone unresponsive only on trying to unlock the lock screen, after that things run smoothly

Might these not have different causes?

I had problems with touchscreen becoming unresponsive while in lockscreen, but then i flashed a new ROM and problem solved:-)

it is really bad when u pay for a phone like that.

i never never assume this kind of phone will have this problem

HTC is not doing anything about it

thats what make it worse !!!
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
For me the issue of screen was never there, it only appeared yesterday (its been more than a month since i bought my sensation). Yesterday i was playing a game and the battery was at 8 % so i plugged the charger and kept playing for another 15 minutes. When i exited the game and then after 5 minutes i checked i found that screen's bottom portion was heated up and not working properly. Launching other applications and doing weird stuff. I checked the temperature and it was at 40, i let it cool down and when temperature reached 37, the screen has become less hot and it started working properly and is fine since then.

The only thing that i m worried abt is if that heating might have caused some permanent damage to screen.:confused:

Try restarting HTC Sense, i had similar issue (single on top going horizontally on one of the screens). This was only there on this screen and not in any other app. I restarted HTC sense and it was gone.

sensation help

Sorry to reopen this thread but I have been having this issue for 2 months and I really need help

My main issue is my sensation won't hold touch, like when I click and hold an icon the phone it will automatically drop it. Or when I am playing games and I have to hold the button it will stop and I have let go and hold the button again.

Everything else is pretty straight forward screen unlock stutter, txt sometimes skips input...

I tried pulling the pin, flashing different android Rome, nothing ever works, if you have any more solutions I really could use ur help lol

Still same problem my 2pence worth...

Phone HTC Sensation - Tmobile - Unlocked - Soff - Rooted...

(not able to get the ota update , fails as I guess phone rooted?)

1.34.110.1

2.3.3

Dont think I had the problem before I had my screen and digitizer replaced (I got water under the screen)

So once phone put back together found this problem people have , need 3-5 swipes of the ring to unlock. At times not able to hangup phone either or answer calls.

Reboot Phone no difference

Foil under case appears to work for half day

Reboot No difference (cold reboot , not quick one)

Factory Reset phone - works for little while (half day? or day) then problems again

wipe davlik & cache option in clockwork (5.0.2.0)appears to fix problem for short time (this only worked 1once, so prob not)

Connecting phone to charger appears to make the problem worse but then removing the charger it has the same problem

format SD card, factory reset phone , all working straight away ! well for a short time then problem appears gain.

Flashed latest rom from elegancia (04-01-2012) rom phone working great , then after a few hours / next day back to same problem

wipe davlik & cache option in clockwork appears to fix problem for short time

Ran some screen test application and all 4 finger traces on screen worked perfectly , I guess that all works once you can unlock the crap.

Anyway quite annoying to the point of throwing phone in bin and buy a Samsung Galaxy. (not going to buy a HTC if this problem is not resolved soon, my ZTE phones work better)
[HTC Sensation] woris:
same problem

since a few days I have that problem too, first I noticed it while typing a Text message, phone is not reacting on input or even responded with a false letters. I have went through the whole threads about this topic, I installed new firmware and the latest rom, no change. I think it even gets worse every day. Can't arrange or delete the Apps on home screen. Good timing right after end of warranty!
[HTC Sensation] usju:
I know this is an old post, but this is the exact problem I am facing and till date have not found a solution. Namely, my screen becomes responsive if i simply sleep and wake the phone using the power button. :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Hey folks. I'm hoping to get through this in one piece, with one walkthrough.

I recently messed up in flashing a Rom to my Captivate. It cleared the phone of firmware and left me with the AT&T splash screen.

I bought a jig, and am now at the "Downloading..." screen and am trying to take this slowly to ensure a properly functioning phone (I've been without for two weeks now).

I've read through the sticky post [link]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364[/link] and have most of the downloads. The Odin link is dead, and I don't have the proper version (I used a version I later found out was bad).

What I'm hoping for is to get someone to show me where the proper version of Odin is, and maybe give me a quick guide to doing this for a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate.

I hope I'm not coming off as lazy, but I tried this solo, and it went awry. Thanks for any help in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMaximus7:
This is the link for Odin. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

You want to Open Odin, then use the jig to put the phone in download mode, connect usb to your computer and wait until odin recognizes your phone. Click Start and sit back and wait. You should then be able to put whatever rom you want on the sd card and flash
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Okay. I got the proper download, and used Odin. It reported success.

I haven't unplugged the phone from the computer yet, but it's also not showing as a drive on my computer. I'm at the stage where I'm supposed to root the phone after using Odin and before flashing.

Should I unplug the phone, or is that going to send me back to square one?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
If you used that Odin 1 click you will have the AT&T version, it will work but you will have the AT&T boot up screen. After it is finished your phone should reboot by itself. If it didn't try pulling the battery and then turn it back on.

Driver Installation Issue at Fault?

Okay, so I'm starting to wonder what's going on with the communication between my phone and my computer. I have the drivers, but when I try to install them (64 bit, for a dual-core, right?), it claims to fail.

I think maybe that this is the reason I can't get the computer to recognize the drive. Also, when plugged in last time, it said it failed to install drivers again. Even when the phone was operational, I had issues with that.

So . . . I'm wondering if maybe I solve that and the issue becomes seamless. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, as it seems I'm stuck until I get the phone to register. Even Odin won't see it now, although I've already passed that step. F-Bomb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steph2:
Did you get the drivers right from samsung web site if not thats why they wont install i had same thing when i got my cappy.

Just because it's a dual core processor in the computer doesn't mean you have a 64 bit OS.

You might want to know what version of windows you have...just a thought.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Okay . . . I can't seem to resolve this driver problem, nor can I move forward in the previous issue of getting my phone back to a functional state.

I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong that everyone else managed to avoid. Could I maybe request some one-on-one time with an experienced Rogers user? Just to recall the exact steps they took in order to successfully UNSCREW their phone.

Again, I appreciate all the help. Every post is making progress. I'm just frustrated at my ineptness with solid state installations.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
I'm still not able to install the drivers or get my computer to register the phone as a drive. I did a bit more reading, but I've found nothing but different driver links. Has anyone else had this installation failure?

I have had driver problems before...try plugging up phone; on computer control panel, device managment , go to were it has device (just click then till se something about samsung) then uninstall drivers, next unplug phone, reinstall drivers that are on design gears (developer) thread for odin one click, next plug up phone sbf it will say new hardware and install drivers then see if that works...
