Hello! I had a problem this weekend with my sensation. I am from Europe, Romania, on Vodafone. I went to a cabin near the mountains with my girlfriend and she has a SGS. My htc sensation is full stock with the latest firmware 1.45.410.2. The network was set on WCDMA/GSM, and I usually tick Mobile Network when I check my e-mails, keeping it off the rest of the time.
The problems started when I received my first call. I could speak with the person for 10 seconds, after which the sound was cut off on both sides, but the phone kept counting the seconds as if nothing had happened. Awkwardly, when I placed the call there were no problems. So only if I received the calls.
The signal was kind of oscillating, there were times when it was full, and then it fell to 2 bars. Meanwhile my girlfriend with her Galaxy S that had the exact same settings (WCDMA/GSM and Mobile network on only when she needs it) and had absolutely no problems.
After I gave it a thought I turned the radio to GSM only, and had no problems at all. The inbound calls went through very smooth and there were no more problems.
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a fix?
Thanks!

I had this also two or three times, but it seems the Sensation has weak signal generally... also WLAN is not as good as my previous phones...

maybe any update can provide a solution for the incoming call issue

Take care of the death grip.
Search to know more about it. But to sum up, it's a problem that makes you signal drop because of your hand covering the location where the antenna is.
