[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Just did that.. Completely restored and didnt even sign into google and its doing it still , customer service isnt doing ****, im basically f*cked because i ported a line in and they cant do anything except "start a discussion" in tech support .. This is insane , walmart got a bad batch and my lucky self got 2 of them..
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I have two sensations and both of them are cool. Have you tried playing with all the settings ? What is the duration of the videos ?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have made 2 vids about 6 secs long and both recorded and played back without a hitch. Like the guy above asked, how long are your vids? And are you still having issues with viewing youtube?
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Yea tried all sorts of different setting after the initial ones failed..vids were anywhere from 4 secomds to 50 seconds, just talked to tier 2 tech support.. I duno how much bs this is but according to him the ones at walmart are mass produced at a different factory for walmart .. And basically told me there ****.. Again i domt know how much is true but either way im screwed
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Watch my videos i posted.. After the video i try to playback freezes i cant do anything video related until i pull the battery .. No youtube no email attachment videos.. Nothing.. And the volume rocker says media volume instead on ringtone volume once i exit the app
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Kinda sounds like a launcher issue....well to me anyways. Sucks big time that you cant do the simple things. And to confirm you are using different sd cards? I haven't tried using the said phone without an SD card, but have you by chance? I'm just brainstorming....
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Yea.. I tried 2 different sd cards that came with both sensations, and a 2gb card i had laying around, no dice..i womder if theres any truth to the teir 2 tech supports claim of cheaper made sensations for walmart, sounds like it makes no sense to me but ..
[HTC Sensation] mrhahn98:
I have a similar problem before. You should try factory reseting it or remove all the apps installed. It has something to do with the apps. I think one of them is incompatible with the Sensation
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Already did that.. No dice.. Problem still exists
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
My two sensations came from Walmart and they work, that tech was just blowing smoke
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Yea it sounded like bs to me but i dont know , thats not my job so i just told him that sounds crazy to me.. Either way i just got off the phone with walmarts manager he said there geting more in 1-3 weeks so i have to wait that long or in 14 days do a warranty swap for a refurb..i cant believe im the only dude with this problem, on 2 different phones.. What r those odds.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
so upon some more research i see that there are 2 different batches of this phone a tawain version and a china version.. seems like the tawain versions are the ones having issues. where are your guys from ?
[HTC Sensation] droopypillow:
im having the same problem with videos takin with the Qik app.. but my camcorder taken videos are fine
[HTC Sensation] savathtiv:
im having the exact same problem
[HTC Sensation] savathtiv:
i got mine from a tmobile store not wal mart and i did a factory reset still have the same problem
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
with qik or camcorder ? mines with the camcorder playback
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Just found this thread realizing I never tried the camcorder...same problem. I take a video and can't play it back! :mad: I also have the volume rocker stuck on "Media Volume" issue...this is retarded lol

Okay at first it was just opening the video and black screening... I changed resolution to Full HD on a new video and now it actually says "Sorry this video cannot be played" whenever I try to review a video I took.

Btw, I'm using the stock SD card that came with the phone.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
changing the resolution isnt whats making it say sorry this video cant be played.. it just does that after 10 mins or so and a few attempts to play it.. mine did thay after a few mins of the black screen.. where did you get yours from ?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Looking at the back of the box, mine was from Taiwan. No issues with camcorder or its playback. Bought from Wally mart mgf date of 5/27/11 if that's relevant.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Made in Taiwan: 6/01/2011

I bought mine from T-Mobile Store.

I fixed it by doing a factory reset and erasing everything including the SD card. After installing the exact same applications, it still seems to be working...cross my fingers.

Another thing I noticed is that now that the camcorder works, when I press the record/stop record button it makes a "beep". It didn't do that previously.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
your lucky.. i did like 3 resets and am on the second one and its still doing it.. this is a joke.. i love the phone but between all the wifi landscape bull**** and this it almost seems like theres too many issues..
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Looking at it from a positive point of view...it's nothing software updates can't fix. At least it's not terrible screen bleeding and stuff that can't be fixed with root and what not.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
like the wifi issues? im not happy about these problems .. ive been waiting for this phone for awhile and now i have to deal with not being able to take videos of my 9 month old.. one of the main reasons i got the phone was for the great camcorder
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
bump.. have a few people having this issue.. i really think people just havnt noticed yey..
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
is your camcorder still working since the reset? how did you clear the memory card? from the phone or via your computer?
[HTC Sensation] savathtiv:
im still having the same problem factory reset three times erased my memory card switch memory cards and its still doing the same thing nothing i try is working
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Still works, I can record and playback video taken with the camcorder.
[HTC Sensation] savathtiv:
gotzta what exactly did u do and how? i try to delete all my apps but when i activate my google account the apps i deleted are back.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
When I went to factory reset it asked me if I wanted to clear my SD card as well...I just selected yes lol that's really all I did is a standard factory reset
[HTC Sensation] carlsontheflyer:
Same issue here. Already on my second phone. I also noticed that anytime the phone is unable to play the recorded video, it cannot play any kind of video, including Youtube, and audio playback doesn't work either. Also the volume rocker is stuck on "Media Volume", even when on the home screen, and the phone doesn't make any sounds what so ever.

I was searching HTC and TMO forums for a solution to this problem, and someone suggested upgrading the Flash player to the latest version (10.3). They claim that doing so fixed the video playback issue, and the other associated problems. Not sure how it is related, but I just did that, and I will report later once I've tested it thoroughly.
[HTC Sensation] cormelan:
hello mates

I had the same problem with video playback.

I've solved the final purification by unchecking the usb.

I hope to serve you and solve this problem

regards
[HTC Sensation] carlsontheflyer:
Please explain...
[HTC Sensation] carlsontheflyer:
I think I may have found the cause of it all (at least on my phone). This is what's causing my phone not to play back any videos, including the ones recorded on the phone, or Youtube, any audio (basically the phone goes silent), including music, touch tones, etc. It also causes the volume rocker to get stuck in "Media Volume".

In phone Sound settings, if you scroll down to the bottom of the screen (Feedback section), you will see a setting for "Audible Selection". That's the setting, when checked, causes a clicking sound every time you touch the screen to perform an action.

If it's checked, it causes the issue that we are discussing in this thread, sometimes immediately, and sometimes after a couple of video recordings.

However, when "Audible Selection" is left unchecked, the playback issue has not appeared even once. I've been testing it all day, making dozens of video recordings, and this is the conclusion I have come up with.

Can you guys check your phones and play with the "Audible Selection" setting and post here whether it is also the issue with your phones? The sooner we can pinpoint the root of this problem, the sooner HTC will fix it.

Thank me if it worked for you
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
man........ same crap all of the sudden. worked fine before today. No shutter sounds here either

audible selection was NOT on

taiwan 6/02/2011

Solved - Restart with Fastboot off and all is well again

I'm guessing the codecs or related processes are getting hosed somehow but whatever is choking is repaired with a REAL reboot.

I imagine fastboot cheats on reloading processes in order to save time.

edit**6-25

still hasn't returned with or without audible selection enabled
[HTC Sensation] HoOnZ:
Count me in as another person having the same issue. I just started noticing this issue yesterday. This looks like a problem that a lot of people don't realize they have. I'll try the possible fixes here and report back.

BTW Audible selection is uncheck for me so that's not my fix
[HTC Sensation] savathtiv:
i unchecked audible selection and its seems to be working ...i will update if anything changes....thanks carlsontheflyer
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
thats not a solution.. all taking fastboot off does essentially a soft reset like a battery pull which works for about 5 mins then goes right back
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
still no dice here.. not working
[HTC Sensation] S1LVERSNAKE:
Thanks carlsontheflyer! That fixed my playback issue also. No problems since. You saved me the hassle of doing a return.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
let me know if its a permanent fix cause for me it worked for a while then stopped again
[HTC Sensation] S1LVERSNAKE:
No problem. Ill play around with it all day tomorrow and post my results tomorrow night.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I just tested this...Turned on Audible Selections and now I can't playback video :mad: Is this with all our handsets or just a select few? If it's just a select few I'm definitely taking it back for an exchange
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
that happen to me the other day i did a factory reset and it didnt happen again
[HTC Sensation] moonspell360:
After exchanging the sensation three times! I came up with the conclusion that is a software issue that HTC must to fix as soon as possible.

Nothing worked for me and I feel disappointed with HTC, great phone, but with a issue that is annoying as hell.

Now I bought a nexus s, but if the click sound solution works for a lot o people i will try again with a sensation.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
yea walmart just called me back with a new batch they offered me an exchange and quite frankly.. i dont feel like exchanging this again.. i already did it twice..
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
MODS: this is a known issue now possibly affecting all phones, if youd like to make a sticky.

the reason is may seem like its not affecting all phones is because if the person has the audible selection unchecked, things would work normal.. upon checking that box to turn that feature on, the problem exist, htc was able to dupe this issue on 2 test phones over the phone this morning..

UPDATE : i called htc and spoke with a software tech for quite sometime and was able to have her duplicate the issue on her test phone. they are escatalting it to the proper persons and will be calling me back shortly, i will post when i hear back from them.. this issue seems to be taking place when the audible selection box is checked in the sound menu of the phone..
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Good work dude.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
It's worked for me so far. Almost 24 hours and I've made a few dozen videos. Playback is good, shutter sounds are back and that volume media lock bug is gone too.

-------

btw I never had audible selection on and got this bug. I don't know how it could have caused my problem.
[HTC Sensation] dj75728:
Vids/recording works fine on mine. Box date 5/25.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
guys i found a way to make it work again hit the power button and select resart not power off resart will clear all application data and walah back to normal just tried it and called htc they told me to go to setting /applications and clear sound setting data didnt try that but restart works
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Did they say anything about the case i opened yet?
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
they did tell me they were already aware of the problem i told them yeah someone on xda forums called yall about the situation
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Cool.. I actually just got a follow up from them 2 mins ago.. Hope an update fixes this asap so i dont have to return this phone again
[HTC Sensation] S1LVERSNAKE:
Mine still works fine after checking it off last night. Thanks for getting HTC to notice the problem johnsonrod27. That issue was driving me crazy since I got the phone last Friday! Now I don't mind it with the fix. It would be nice to have that click function back tho.
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
I can also confirm this issue. Never really would have noticed it because I never check this box for sound on screen touch. Great find and hopefully they will fix it soon.
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
np guys ill reply once im aware of a fix from htc.. remember the thanks button ! lol
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I gave you a thanks. :)

Anyone else have this problem without having Audible Selection checked off?
[HTC Sensation] fradog23:
I'm on my second sensation and have the same problem with it. The only thing that has worked for me is not enabling the audible selection and doing a battery pull (which is not realy practical). I was hoping the first one i had was just bad luck but i guess not. I'm sorry to say that I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem (sorry guys).
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Yea i think lots of people have the issue but dont know it because of the fact there audible selection is switched off
[HTC Sensation] moonspell360:
My three htc phones I returned had the made in Taiwan logo..what a coincidence
[HTC Sensation] Padroni:
Not sure if this is the same issue based on what I have read but I will let you all know what I have experienced and what I did to correct it and hopefully this helps. I purchased the phone on June 15th the recording worked fine video on my sd card played great. Including some movies I put on there.

Then about 4 days ago I was recording my dog acting like a fool and when I went to play back the video it gave me an error sorry video cannot be played or something like that. I tried to go online and watch a youtube video and got the same error. So powered down the phone pulled the battery let it sit while I transferred what was on the SD card on to my computer. Formated the SD card put the files back on that were on the PC and then put the SD card back in the phone. Its been 2 days since I did this and have recorded plenty of video watched youtube videos and have had no problems since.
[HTC Sensation] moonspell360:
How is your phone running after unchecking the feedback option?

Did you buy it at Walmart or globule store?
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
its been good so far.. walmart
[HTC Sensation] Dandandroid:
same issue here

first when i bought it, couldnt play vids i took.

i think after reboot ( a real one ..) it started working.

no problems since .

glad i bought it, hoping for the root soon
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
This phone is pissing me off .

Now I have the touchscreen issue and have always had deathgrip
[HTC Sensation] hassler:

camcorded and not even able to playback :|

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
Ok So im a noob to all of this . I have root 2 of 3 phones both samsung . I rooted them both using adb cmd lines on my pc. I have also seen one click . and odin methods. I have not yet installed clockworkmod. Not sure what version to install ? my phones are all edo4 froyo 2.2. Not sure what roms are good ? etc... still reading up . Anyway my question is which method is the most up to date and considered the best way to root ? Also what is considered the best way to lagfix ? Still learning about all the roms and kernels . Im like a 3 day old noob to all this. So keep it simple for the stupid guy :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Do you want to root and stay stock or do you want to flash a custom rom as well? And are you familiar with odin and how to use it?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
Have never used odin. I would like to flash a nice clean rom of some sort eventually when i figure out what all the diffrences are. Also have not installed Clockworkmod.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lydar:
Here is a quick guide to rooting if you are still running ED01:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1046855

As for a stable and clean rom, I would suggest the Community rom found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108991

and if you are not on ED01 and don't mind losing installed apps, you can skip the rooting process and install the commmunity rom zip from clockwork mod just by flashing over clockwork recovery. Make a backup in clockwork recovery before you install any rom though, this will save you a very large headache of going back to stock and having to update all over again should anything go wrong.

there is one major thing to always pay attention to:

ONLY use the PDA button in Odin, NEVER use the Phone button (this will brick your phone)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
Also not afriad to do the research and learn to use odin . Especially if this is considred to be the best method for rooting and installing roms and kernels. Does the fact that I have used ADB method affect usining odin. Do I need to Unroot my device and start fresh? and anything special I should know about Clockworkmod?:confused:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Well, here is Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?429fcpdtpckkcea download and install on your PC. Once you have done that, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar to your PC and remember where you put it.

I suggest community rom for you but you are welcome to choose something else. Download this and put it on the root or base of your SD card. Here is the link: http://www1021.megaupload.com/files/2f6ba494eabf66de4d3888ed8fcd3f20/UKB_2_pbj50_fixed.zip This has a slightly undervolted kernel so it will give you better battery life.

Once you have done all of that, power off your phone and take the battery out. Hold the volume down button and at the same time plug your phone into your PC. This should put you into download mode on the phone. Open odin on the PC and Hit the "PDA" button. ONLY THE PDA BUTTON FOR THIS!!! Then find the cwm 3-30-fix all tar and select it. Then hit start. When it finishes you will see a green "PASS", unplug the phone and put battery in. Hold down the volume up and down buttons and the power buttons ALL at the same time and hold them until you see the samsung symbol. Then navigate to wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button. This will wipe your data. Make sure to save your phone numbers first. Then go to install zip from SD card and then choose zip from SD card and then find community rom and then hit the power button. Let it flash and then hit the menu button and you will go back to the main cwm recovery menu. Select "reboot now". The phone will boot and you will be running rooted community rom with an undervolted kernel. ENJOY
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
Ok cool . so im still wondering if the method I used should be reversed . Was it a bad method ? Just trying to learn and understand as much about rooting as possible.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
to go back to stock is super easy.

Odin the stock rom and reboot DONE!

Link to Stock ROM plus How Too!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908451

I love this phone it is REALLLLLY hard to brick.

Basically as long as you DON'T flash a rom, kernel, or Modem from another phone and you will be good!

Good luck and enjoy the phone
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
I believe my rom is currently stock . Im not asking how to root or install the roms. just which is the prefered method and should I revert the root method I have used and start over.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsannes:
Sorry to hijack but this touches on what I'm dealing with now. I had to end up odin back to stock I did the ota back to 2.2. Can use this method to get to ComRom2.2?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
If you are stock now you can use the method I posted earlier.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Don't even know what method you used but if you are rooted then no need to unroot. Just Odin cwm recovery and then boot immediately into the recovery and wipe and then flash whatever rom you have already put on your SD card.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamin4:
I Used ADB application on PC and copy and pasted each command line with the phone hooked up on USB. check this link. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting

Does anyone know the diffrences between this method. Odin and . One click methods ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
No differences really. Just different methods of pushing the necessary files to your phone to give you root access. If you do in fact have root access, then you don't need to unroot. One method is just as good as another. Start doing some research on custom roms and kernels. You change those via clockworkmod recovery.

Hello there, I have been eyeing the Samsung Desktop Dock for a while, and was wondering, does it work ok with CM7 and Miui? I don't care about audio out as i probably won't use it, and there are a million clock apps on the market I can use, but does charging work? might be a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure as CM7 and Miui aren't samsung roms, so there is no guarantee lol

Thanks! :D
[Captivate Accessories] NCARCER8EM:
I can not speak about those two particular ROM's but I have run several ROM's with no problems at all charging in eithe the Desktop Cradle or the Car Dock.

I have had issues with the "Stay awake while charging" with the current GB ROM I am running but no other problems.
[Captivate Accessories] nakedninja42:
Audio out does not work with CM7 (only one i tried). Charging does. If you want audio you can try xcal Dock Sound Redirector, it works for me on Gingerbread but I didn't try it on CM7

Oh alright cool! All i really want it for is charging and alarm, so it should do well then :D thanks guys!
