[HTC Sensation] marcopolo:
I flashed firmware 3.33 yesterday and the phone ran very well all day today however it has stopped booting now and even won't take me to the bootloader to access anything.

It happened just now after I took Titanium Backup and then tried to reboot into recovery to backup current ROM however it failed and instead landed me into the Bootloader which didn't allow me to go into Recovery.

The last thing I remember is that it was showing "Bootloader warning" overhead just below -Firmware-3.33- title on which I choose to turn it off.

After turning off, I tried switching it on but failed. Tried many times but nothing worked out. Waited and thought the phone might boot up after keeping phone and battery separated however no luck either.

Did I just bricked my device for no reason?

Sorry for the long post but I am having some strange issues with my Sensation XE and after spending almost US$300, I am not happy and want to enjoy this device :crying::confused::(

I purchased Sensation XE from eBay last month and it got delivered to me by the Feb 15, 2013 since then I have been struggling to get experience on this phone.

Not sure if these issues have been posted/reported before, I couldn't get anything hence thought to post it anyways. I am still keeping some hope :D

I have been facing some very strange and some rare issues with my Sensation XE, after week long research and self testing, I thought to get help from community.

Battery Discharge: [Known and common issue] - My phone's battery gets discharged very quickly... it does not survive even 4 hours in standby time.

Phone Heating: [somewhat abnormal and known issue] - The phone keeps on heating when it's on and is in sleep. The heat is always at the bottom of the phone due to which it sometime heats to a level when touching this area is impossible without burning my fingers.

What's abnormal and strange is that the

phone keeps heating even when the phone is turned off

and the battery is inserted. Not sure if anyone else have encountered such a problem.

Battery Back Door: [Very Abnormal and Strange Issue] Well, as it sounds, it is a very abnormal and rare issue I have encountered so far. I am aware that the battery backdoor has 4 antennas built in to boost signals for both Voice and Wifi however it is sending my phone into Sleep of Death (SoD). The phone works fine (except issues mentioned above) until when I put the battery back door on, then the phone either stops responding and freeze else it goes in SoD. I don't know how to fix it.

Signal: [Know issue] I have very poor signal on my phone. It sometimes keep my phone reported as "Switched off" and no visible signals at all. Sometime switching Airplane mode makes it work but most of the time does not.

I face the same problem with Wifi wherein the phone catches very poor signal from my router wherein other devices have 90+% network. This happens even when the phone is placed right next to the wifi.

So far, these are the the problems I have noticed on this phone. I couldn't do much because the phone never gives me that much time.

I have been active on HD2 dev forum for long but these issues are not common for me, neither I am a dev.

To fix these issues, I have tried different ROMs, Kernels, OC'd and UC'd the phone, still no sign of relief. I once again apologies to post any repeated issues and for posting such a long/lengthy post.
