Use your jig to get into download mode, the use the heimdall one click unbrick in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153310

It will reboot your phone from download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby98989:
I'm certain the JIG would work, if the phone would power on. Without a functional power button (or a rom that auto boots when powered like CM7), I don't think I can get to DL mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
You don't need use the power button to get into download mode. Just plug the jig in and your in download mode. also if your phone has captivate bootloaders just hold down the volume up/down buttons and plug in usb cable to a pc wait about 3 seconds and you should be in download mode, no need to touch the power button to get into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby98989:
Ah, well I get no power up from JIG or USB cable hooked to PC holding vol up, vol down, neither or both. Nothing on the screen at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
plug your phone into a wall socket to charge the battery and leave it for a while, the come back and check to see if you can feel the battery getting warm. If it does get warm try the jig again. If it doesn't get warm you may have something else wrong then just the power button.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
If there is nothing else hardware wise wrong with the phone besides the power button and your boot loaders are not corrupted (and as long as nothing is wrong with your jig) the jig should put you into download mode every time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby98989:
charged phone, battery didn't warm, but area just above it did. Tried booting with JIG and USB cable and all combinations of volume buttons, to the same black screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Sounds like you should go ahead try with your warranty replacement.

But, if i were you i would try an going to an att store or service center, sometimes there with a hardware defect like your power button they will swap the phone right on the spot quick and easy. if not, the worst they will tell you at the store is to send it in for a warranty replacement, no harm in at least trying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby98989:
Yeah, I went to the store and best they did was watch me talk to the warranty people on the phone.

The disconcerting thing with the return is that they send me a phone, then I send them mine and if they have a problem $400 magically appears on my bill and there's nothing I can do about it.

If I can get it warrantied, great. If I can't, I'd rather spend $400 on a newer, better phone (instead of a factory refurbished version of the same phone).

I'm surprised there aren't more people with returns experience here...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
I did a return for my wife's captivate at the att store. Her phone had random soft reboots. They did not even look at her phone, and just swapped it out with a new captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UGART3:
My cappy was bricked because Odin failed while flashing the boot-loader.....so no boot-loader or anything was on there. I went into the att service center and told them I realized it was off and I couldn't get it to turn back on. Every question they asked me I just said I dunno im not sure. The guy said let me trouble shoot this to see whats wrong....lol he came back and they gave me a new one on the spot.

It seems that you really don't know whats wrong with it so there is no morality issues........IF there were any before lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
I've had two actual experiences. The first was a soft brick. This happened before anyone really knew about how to build a JIG. This happened within the first 30 days. I was basically in your boat, I had a bunch of crap on the internal SD card and I even still had some i9000 firmware still loaded to the phone. I exchanged it last October and never had any backlash.

The second time I messed up /efs. I was able to flash it back to stock and master clear the phone to remove traces that I had done anything to the phone. This time I dealt with samsung directly. They paid shipping both ways, made sure my phone was not water damaged and actually ended up replacing the mainboard (they seem to do that to fix a ton of issues).

Both experiences I mailed in my phone. I never dealt with a local service center.

[HTC Sensation] superNES64:
Should I get the Sensation or the myTouch 4g Slide? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] F033x:
Sensation hands down.

That is if you can deal without a keyboard.
[HTC Sensation] superNES64:
Why? And besides, the new myTouch's keyboard is supposed to be terrible. But otherwise, why?
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
The only differences (as far as I can tell) are...

-Camera (supposedly myTouch's is advanced, but I have 0 issues with Sensations. They're both 8MP?)

-Keyboard

-Screen size (4.3 vs 3.7? I forgot what myTouch was)

-Capacitive buttons on Sensation vs. non-capacitive (also including "genius" button on myTouch)

-Aesthetics

I personally hate keyboards, don't care for camera, and much prefer 4.3". On top of all that, Sensation just looks so much better and I also prefer capacitive buttons.

Go into a t-mobile store and see for yourself. Everyone has different preferences. The same way you (probably) shouldn't ask your friends to pick your future spouse for you, you should decide for yourself. Analogy may be terrible, but you get the idea.
[HTC Sensation] isaster1:
I think the QHD screen is much nicer then the 480x800 the mytouch will have. Coming from an iPhone 4 with retina, the sensation is the next best thing in terms of resolution and dpi.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Pros for Sensation

4.3" screen (could be a pro for some people, con for others)

qHD resolution

Aluminium unibody

Not a customized version of Sense 3.0

Pros for myTouch 4G Slide

Best camera on an Android phone (most likely)

Keyboard

Latest version of Gingerbread (2.3.4)

Hope that helped.
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
The four big differences are screen size, keyboard, resolution, and Sense.

4.3" v 3.7"

Physical Keyboard

qHD (960x540) v wvga (800x480)

Sense 3.0 v Sense 3.0 / Espresso mod

Personally, 4.3" beats 3.7" any day. qHD is absolutely beautifyl, and I especially like the 16:9 aspect ratio. The screen is plenty big on the Sensation to overtake the physical Keyboard desire. I could care less about the version of Sense, although the MyTouch does lose the amazing new lock screen. Still can't figure out why they did that.

The Sensation's camera is fantastic. I probably won't even know what I'm missing.

I also really like the aluminum unibody on the Sensation.

Hope that helped.
[HTC Sensation] superNES64:
Thanks for all the replies!

I really really want to get the Sensation but I'm hearing all of these issues people are having with it. Namely, the Wifi Death Grip, Overheating, Lag, and Screen Responsiveness. Are they really that bad? Also, when looking through threads about the problems, I see people talking about their 'third sensation' meaning they've traded it in three times. Have you traded yours in yet?
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
Weight is also a factor. The MT4GS is almost as hefty as the original Droid.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL I have yet to have an issue with either of the two sensations that I purchased. You have to remember that the majority of sensation users aren't on xda plus people such as myself who haven't had any issues are less likely to start a thread... I've always felt that reading the complaints on a forum are overrated especially the "death grip" bs I have held my phone in every possible position with one hand and two and have yet to notice a drop in signal strength....a lot of people are simply idiots and post issues stating their phone is lagging but don't mention that their battery is low and they have 10 apps running in the background and the phone is on "power saver" mode... :cool:
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
I'm very interested in the mfg date on your sensation. It's right on the box.

I can say without question that the death grip is there, have tried everything including a case (which helped) but I still lose signal after 5 minutes of use.

Personally I don't care much for the screen size since you lose 90% of it when typing in landscape mode making a long email a PITA.

**********

I thing the mt4gs is a good choice if you:

- need a good speakerphone (s4g speakers suck even with Volume+)

- want a keyboard (i rdp/ssh a lot and keyboard shortcuts are clutch)

- want WiFi that *works*

- want a phone that comes with s-off

My other complaint with the sensation is the heat/electrical issues. While plugged in and tethering the screen goes crazy and is unusable.

I've been on the sensation for almost two weeks and seeing how many people are also having these issues is leading me to believe its not just my phone.

Hardware can't be fixed as easily as software so I'm jumping ship now before I get stuck for 2 years.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Keeping my sensation. Had the mytouch yesterday and took it back. it isn't real sense 3.0. The only advantage is the camera is faster than ours by like 3 seconds.

I'll wait for the unlocked bootloader and we will overcome. :-)
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Not true def lighter than the og droid. I say its the same weight as a g2x by a little more. I'm just not interested in keyboards anymore.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Mytouch slide has s-on but there most likely is a hack here that will off it.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Manufacture date of 5/25/11 and I am using wifi right now....and where has it been proved that the mt4gs already has unlocked bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
I'm not 100% on s-off just what I've read around here.

I have the exact mfg date and can't get through a game of zynga without it dropping.

Also WiFi on this phone is weak as it is, my droid 1 picks up signal and connects from 4 doors down while the sensation doesn't even see them.

Maybe I got a bad one?
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
Also mt4gs is running 2.3.4:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3812c1acf93b482f

Many goodies but specifically gtalk w/ video is making me giddy just typing about it.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Video chat for Google talk does not work on the MT4GS

[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
That's pretty lame. I'm within my "remorse" period so i'll get a chance to test 1st hand.

Even then my usage relies heavily on a hardware keyboard so I'll probably switch regardless.

Also I'm beginning to notice the s4g screen is too big. For example I can't add a browser tab without overextending my thumb.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL you should definitely stick with the S4G IMO slide out keyboards are annoying not to mention at some point the keys tend to stop working or get stuck then you will be using the touch screen full time..S4G will have the better display and 4.3" is perfect. Software wise it's the same but whatever floats your boat dude :D
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
Had droid 1 for two years never a problem with the keys.

Having a shift key and dpad saves a ton of time (instead of fidgeting with txt selection). So do keyboard shortcuts like menu-x menu-v.

It all depends how you use the phone I guess, I use it for emails mostly.
[HTC Sensation] ridingonfumes:
So what you sit 10 feet from your router or what?

I'm about 50ft from mine and through 2 walls and I can tell you the death grip is real and it sucks.

My G2 never had this problem, I'm starting to really hate this sensation
[HTC Sensation] sniper1087:
tell me about it I lose Wifi signal all the time in my own house, the signal blows thats the main reason I probably will be switching to the mt4gs also the fact the QHD display is relative since more screen, more pixels are barely noticeable, also the more pixels on the screen the more stress for the processor consuming more battery as well as sloeing down the phone, well anyhow performance wise from what I seen it is a little faster than the Evo 3d and the Sensation of course, the lags and reboots are a pain and if you checked the Sensation it gives you a total Memory: 558 mb while the mytouch 4g slide has total Memory: 576mb which it will make it better in my book.
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
Just realized the mt4gs doesn't have a d-pad :(
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I'm pretty sure the mytouch 4g slide isn't dual core.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
The 4g slide most definitely has a dual core:

[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
What's the indentation under the four hard buttons on the front, if it's not a D pad?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
You my friend should obey the golden rule of not speaking unless you know what you are talking about....
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
I am definetly suffering from the WiFi death grip. I just started holding the phone differently. Not a big deal imo. However sometimes I do feel the screen is too big (can't Swype landscape for this post for example). Plus I'm having major physical keyboard withdrawal ever since my touch pro 2 (best keyboard ever designed) died. Nonetheless I don't think anyone can recommend one phone over the other without having tried both. So hit up that T-Mobile store.
[HTC Sensation] ptaylor09:
But it does... Its basically the mt4g with a dual core processor, 8 MP camera, keyboard and a 3.7 screen instead of the 3.8. Yes its .1 smaller. And let me tell you there is a huge difference between my s4g and my mt4g. Usually they go up in size but I guess HTC is thinking since there is a keyboard it should be in the 3.x range. Which still Idk y they didn't jst make it 3.8. Hopefully they don't make the mistake of have the good screen bad screen issuse again.
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
Thanks for pointing out the front dpad, I've grown used to it being a part of the keyboard on the D1 but I could easily adapt.
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
So its the same size screen as the D1?
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
My only complaints about my Sensation are:

1. Locked bootloader.

2. Crappy amount of RAM.

3. Crappy WiFi performance (not death grip. Just a crappy RIL, could be fixed)

4. T-Mobile insisting on giving us updates months after its been released in the rest of the world >:(

5. Locked bootloader.

Oh and the only thing I'd like from the Slide is the camera. Yes it's also 8MP, but it has a very wide lens, f2.2 or something like that,which actually puts it on par with Nokia's N9 :O. Very high quality pictures and great low-light pictures.
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
I must say the camera on the mt4gs is living up to the hype so far.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I'm not gonna by a phone for one publicized feature. The phone doesn't impress me I'll stick to my sensation. Keyboards are 2005 lol.
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
Should you get the Pinto or the Ferrari? Check prices online, particularly Craigslist, you can pick a mytouch4 up for less than two hundred, try a sensation for less than $400...enuff said?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Mytouch 4G SLIDE is what this thread is about not the non-keyboard MT4G lmbo
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
Well, I too have owned a lov HD2...but the Sensation blows that and every phone I've used (iphones/G2X/Nexus S/Galaxy ad nauseousness...the unlock will come but the Sensation is the best outta the box phone ever made imho... camera/video/dispaly..maybe I'm lucky but my device, kills...
[HTC Sensation] itsluy:
I'm still getting used to this keyboard its shifted to the right a bit much.

I don't need to sell anyone on a qwerty but if you do systems administration like I do its a must have.

As a sys admin almost everything you type isn't on the dictionary. Certain apps (namely AndroVNC) are impossible to use without a keyboard.

I'm digging the mt4gs so far, this seems like a phone I could keep for a long time

Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide in landscape mode from a spot where the sensation couldn't hold a signal.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Enjoy your sidekick
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
Nahhh. HD2<3 best phone HTC ever made. I still prefer it sometimes over my Sensation. :S

About the Mytouch, I just like my Sensation better. :)

[HTC Sensation] statuzz:
i love the S4G... i think is one of the best phone ever but the wifi issues turned out to be true, i cant understand how my phone now wont connect in the room being next to where the router is at. now everything else is working well so, what a problem :confused: i think that in my case the best thing to do is.....2take the phone and the router with me all the time while at home :cool: :eek:

both phones have nice specs....whatever works for u better
[HTC Sensation] natehoch96:
It honestly comes down to personal preference. Do you want the better camera and the keyboard or do you want the better screen? Also something to keep in mind, just because the mySlide 4G has a better camera, doesn't mean the Sensation has a bad one. The Sensation definitely has a nice camera. Each phone has their issues, exp. the Sensation has reports of some people having wifi issues and some people do not like the keyboard on the mySlide 4G, also the mySlide is a bit bulkier. Go into a T-Mo store and try them both out, then decide which suits you. Although judging by the date of your post and mine, you probably already made your mind ;)
[HTC Sensation] LemurLad:
I haven't been on xda since 2009 (when I got my HTC TouchPro), but now that phone is on its deathbed so I'm looking to upgrade bigtime. The overarching goal is to replace my old P&S camera, my mp3 player, my laptop(kinda junky) and my phone with one superdevice.

The Sensation and the MT4GS are both fantastic devices, but I'm leaning towards the MT4GS because of its hardware features, particularly the physical keyboard. The Sensation has that monster sized display which makes it just a tad too large for my hand, but it is undeniably gorgeous and I'm sure I could get used to the onscreen keyboard/swype. There is that unfortunate wifi problem though.

Here's the real sticking point: dev support. Some devices get the spotlight, while others are largely ignored. And the Sensation has the MT4GS beat. Very badly beat.

For example, there are 40x the number of posts in the sensation dev forum than the MT4GS. I know these aren't all devs, but it still means that a crapton more is happening for the Sensation. Also, Cyanogenmod is in alpha and from what I gather that is the rom of choice for many. I was looking at MIUI as well which will probably come soon after CM.

The MT4GS is still hoping for Cyanogenmod support. Not that the few other roms out there aren't good, but CM is something I was looking forward to when switching to Android. Physically though, the keyboard would probably make playing some emulators a bit easier(n64oid I'm looking at you), but more and more new games are touchscreen only. That said, the screen is definitely big enough to enjoy touchscreen games.

Another minor difference between the two is that the MT4GS is 150$ while the Sensation is 100$ (at Target this week).

Basically, what do you guys think... Will the MyTouch 4G Slide live in the Sensation's dev shadow forever? Or is it really not that big of a deal?

(As a disclaimer, I'm a noob with Android. I've been stuck with the Touchpro and WinMo6.5 for however long, so a lot of the new phones seem like shiny gorgeous magical explosion superdevices to me.)
[HTC Sensation] gclawson:
If you plan to Rom it then it would come down to screen size and physical keyboard. and true the mt4gs does have a slightly better camera.
[HTC Sensation] itzsnookums:
I own many HTC devices (T-Mobile HD2, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro 2, Desire HD, and The Sensation).....and i believe that whatever phone you choose between the sensation and the Mytouch 4G Slide, remember this....XDA isn't going anywhere and will always be making your phones better then they were designed and it really doesn't matter what HTC device you get, they are top of the line devices and they are the best devices to customize on this forum....don't believe me, look it up...The HD2 Realesed late 2009 early 2010 is the MOST MODIFIED PHONE in this forum....it can run any O/S you can throw at it, and the Desire HD is another amazing device was the first to run Android 2.3.3 w/ Sense 3.0 before the sensation was even released (oh and i think i forgot to mention so can the HD2)....so what i think i'm trying to say is pick either one of these phones, they both are amazing and great phones and can only get better with the help of everyone in these forums.....

Thank You
