My camera makes a whining sound when I turn it on and sometimes when I focus it. It seems to function ok from macro to ∞. I'm just worried that it could be breaking down. Does anyone else hear this? :confused:

I take it I'm the only one. Lucky the ebay seller is letting me return it. Here is what it sounded like:

Where the FREAKIN CRAP can i find this phone? it doesnt seem to exist on ebay or anything O_O. the only one i found is 560 dollars O_O. is it really that expensive lol ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
Go onto eBay UK. You can probably nab it for around less then £100 excluding shipping.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tfn:
If you want I'll Sell you mine for £100 ;) rooted and running gingerbread :D let me know And I'll put it on Ebay

Hey,

I was wondering, is there anyway to gain temproot until we have full root? Am I right in thinking that temproot allows programs requiring root access to work e.g. AdFree?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] charmz2k2:
There's an app called gingerbreak which works on the S E Arc (it roots anything on Gingerbread) so I wonder if it will work on the Sensation?

I'm waiting to get mine at the moment...

Hopefully tuesday :D

[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
credits to this guide: http://www.zenilshroff.com/how-to-root-htc-sensation-android-2-3-gingerbread-smartphone/

1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.

2. Save on your computers desktop.

3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)

4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.

5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.

6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.

7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.

8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.

9. After installation completes, open the APK.

10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?

11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.

12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!

13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.

In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Yeah, but does it REALLY work?
[HTC Sensation] drspikes:
Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Yeah, I'm not really willing to believe it works either mate.

If the guide has some proof (i.e. a bootloader photo) then I will try it. If not, it's all just based on theory, but nothing practical.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Somebody has to be the guinea pig.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.

It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
It would be great if we could get this partial root. I personally don't mind not being able to flash custom ROM, but it is very important to me to be able to use some apps that require root permissions like adfree or titanium backup. From what I understand, this 'half-root' should not be very difficult to achieve cause it is not needed to mess with the bootloader for this purpose. The only requirement is to be able to uninstall htc sync for some time.

Here also a link detailing the differences between root levels and clarifying vocabulary. I am posting this cause it has been very useful for me to help understand, so it might also serves others..

http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/329819-no-need-panic-about-locked-bootloader.html
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Thank you for trying it. I think you should now do a full factory reset, to totally get that thing off your Sensation. It does not do what it's supposed to do and who knows what it might be doing behind the scenes. Yea, be very suspicious!
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Yeah, doing a full reset was in the back of my mind. Think I will go do that now :)

I'm not optimistic thought. They who owns the website emailed me (I posted a comment doubting it, and it was deleted, so I reposted, and he emailed me), to say the guy who posted it hadn't got back to him, so he was removing it from the site until he had confirmation that it did work. I am still VERY sceptical of it. He said, uninstall HTC Sync from the PC, as that causes problems with root? VERY random thing IMHO.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Well, a factory reset and trying to run GingerBreak right after hasn't done a thing. It says to reboot after it doesn't succeed after 10 mins, and that this happens a lot. But EVERY attempt I have been rebooting after 10 mins.

If the guy who "discovered" it can't even post proof, it sounds like a load of ****.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea, if they discovered it they can prove their claim with a simple photo.

This speaks to not only the lack of credibility of the person who posted it, but also to the site that allowed it to be posted and remain till the complaints came in. A very untrustworthy source is how I view them because of this.
[HTC Sensation] pulser_g2:
Gingerbreak won't help you, as there will be a nand lock, and the fact the kernel will be patched...
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Yeah, I didn't think it would work to be honest. That really as wishful thinking. The person who posted that seems like a proper idiot :(
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
this will work once we get s-off to perminate root and then you can flash the recovery from fastboot or rom manager
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Given your confidence, we'll let you test it first.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
Even the website states we need s-off so when that is achieved it will work and i will test it once we find a crack for the radio to get s-off/nand lock.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mac208x:
Hey I was wondering which Rom in it opinion is good I'm asking dis coz I just don't feel like flashing 20 different roms so I just wanna narrow my candidates down.

Sent from my dying HTC Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Sense or no sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
U should get coredroid when they realead update 6.6 I'm waiting on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djzikario:
I use Leedroid with its own kernel will run nice and very very easy on battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] superspuds86:
I second leedroid. I've literally tried Android revolution hd, coredroid, and leedroid, and leedroid seems to be the fastest, smoothest, and stable as far as I'm concerned with the ability to o/c up to 1.8ghz if you're into that sort of thing. Thanks developers!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Every rom will work differently for everyone, best is to try which works best for you. I am using TB Fusion 1.1.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheJokah:
i find Gingerbeast to be best on battery, as well as really stable. If you don't want sense and want Gingerbread 2.3.4 the way Google meant it, this is your Rom. Quick, smooth, and reliable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mac208x:
How is cm7 on the inspire?

Sent from my dying HTC Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Cm7 is marvelous
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
i have leedroid...first rom i have tried and it seems very stable and quick, im also using leedroid's kernel

cant say too much about battery life yet, but it seems pretty good

8 hours 48 mins.... from 98 to 67% with light usage...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scotsman828:
I'm using CM7, and my battery lasts almost twice as long, with just a few apps running. IMO, HTC Sense is the problem causing massive battery drain. But I tend to like Android as it was intended to be.:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
CM7 or anything based on it is great. It's ran the smoothest for me.

Sent using my Cirrus 6-string
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
are you guys using cm7 or cm7 nightly?

whats the difference anyways?

yea ill admit im trying to get my post count up, i could search....but i want to leave feedback in the dev section sooo....
[HTC Inspire 4G] h-visual:
I have found these 2 Roms the best for battery life.

Cleardroid and CM7 (not nightly)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmeans2:
Nightlies are updated pretty much every day. Not "stable" and experimental. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 84 (downloading 85 right now) and i have pretty good battery life using LordMod's UEv2.0 VIO kernel with -25 script. I jumped on board the CM7 Nightly train from Android Revolution 5.1.5 (now 5.1.7) to try out Netflix, which works great. Though my battery life with ARHD 5.1.5 and I think it was Apache's kernel was fricking amazing. I could go two days between charges with normal/light usage.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamm513:
Men there are many roms, i thing the Best is CoreDroid v6.6 Even leeDroid (Reboot issue)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jrmendia:
Inspired ACE 1.0.1 + MDJ's Kernel V19

This is my Inspire after moderate use, always WIFI ON.

FaceBook+Twitter+Weather // Updating Data every Hour.

I tested every single Rom (I have 3 Inspires) this is THE BEST combination I found for battery life. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] cstayton:
+1

I have tried so many different ROMS and have always come back to Inspired Ace 1.0.1 I have it heavily modded with lots of Sense 3.0 components and still the battery life is more than exceptable for me and the performance (even moderatly overclocked to 1.21) is clean and smooth.

i do have to say though that if you dont want the Sense experience then CM7 has to be the best out there. but for my taste i like the frills and bling theat Sense provide.

P.S. keep in mind that overclocking, even moderately is not recomended. And since all hardware reacts differently your inspire may not tolerate being overclocked or it may tolerate it even better than mine. Battery life as always is not an objective reference but subjective my use may be far less than yours and it all depends on what you are using it for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
so many to choose from, i keep going back to cm7 based personally. Recently been using mdj cm7.1.0 v1.4 with the latest lordmod kernal PUV. The rom can be found in the Desire HD section. Just flash the audio fix after flashing the rom. So fast yet has the least battery drain. On standby, I hardly draw any juice at all! TPGB is a great choice as well!
[HTC Inspire 4G] TaterTot85:
I have my wife's inspire running Inspired Saga (100% stable) using the 12.35..... radio and juice defender app. She avgs 1d 4hrs on a single charge. And yes that includes a few hours of angry birds. She has been running it for the last month. And i have yet to do anything to it since flashing the rom. No fc's no reboots etc. It runs flawlessly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] datrumole:
Gotta +1 on the gingerbeast, I avg 18-20 hours on days of heavy use, on light, I've gotten 1d 10h.that's at full stock, no juice defender or any undervolt script. And this thing is smooth as heck, and not buggy like cm7, which its loosely based on, if ure flash happy and are constantly waiting for updates and fixes, then stay away from the beast, but if u wanna enjoy ure phone and actually use it, give it a shot
[HTC Inspire 4G] Trevorhimself:
I'm another for LeeDroid, if not a Rom a kernel at least. Currently running TB 1.0.2 with LeeDroid Kernel 3.1.2 and highly recommend it!

Rooted with attn1's hack kit

another ROM another day
[HTC Inspire 4G] Yenupuri:
+2 on the Gingerbeast. Smooth, fast and makes the battery last much longer compared to stock. This is not a SenseRom... so if you like HTC sense .. you would probably want to look at ClearDroid or TB. Both have worked well for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
+1 on the Gingerbeast

+1 on Android Revolution 4G 5.1.7
[HTC Inspire 4G] Yenupuri:
Oops.. yeah, Android Revolution is rock solid too!!! Looks like the OP now has a list with a couple of non-sense ROMs and a couple of Sense based ROMS to fiddle with :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fiasco:
CM7 is great on the inspire. Stable, fast and great battery life. I love it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mac208x:
So I have decided on cm7 like I did on nexus one and its sweet! It runs way better than it did on my nexus1 holy cow lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] cordell507:
i get the best on MIUI and Mdeejay after that
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Cm7 ftw, helped battery quite a bit. I use my phone VERy heavily.
[HTC Inspire 4G] InspiresMe:
Everyone is raving about CM7 BUT my question is what would be a good ROM where i would not have to update all the time. Sounds like gingerbeast or android revolution. CM7 seems like its constantly having bugs fixed even though its great. At the end of the day. Almost anything is better than stock.

From those two im unsure.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fiasco:
If you use the Nightly builds then yes you will be updating all the time. However we are referring to CM7 Stable Mod (currently at version 7.0.3), not the nightly build versions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kurpaige:
I'm currently using leedriod but want to try something non-sense so from what i''m reading so far CM7 with gingerbeast a close 2nd?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
+1

Try gingerbeast 2.1. Good battery life, plus very stable too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I would like to give some feedback for leedroid, but I need more posts so...

I usually had absolutely no service at school. Zero. Now with just changing to leedroid s Rom and kernel I get full service edge!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumrt562:
I have flashed all of them... The stock update attn posted, with ingersoll's' kernel, undervolted a decent amount in the init.d slot... good battery life + great call quality, camera, and upload/download speeds, consistent signal.

I am in L.A. County(East) and get spotty service on CM7, MIUI, Gingerbeast etc, and my downloads never go over 3.7, middle of the night, open sky. With the stock ROM, im getting 6... Rant Over.
[HTC Inspire 4G] InspiresMe:
Just flashed gingerbeast and for some reason i had to pull the battery a couple times and it was freezing on me. Not sure why. I always do a full wipe before i switch to any rom. Gingerbeast is setup real nice though.

I like the no-sense roms. Easier to use since everything is so straight forward.

Back to ingersoll though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
+1 for Ingersoll.
[HTC Inspire 4G] InspiresMe:
Have been experimenting a bit. Wanted to share.

I flashed ingersoll but got rid of all the sense and the battery is amazing. Thats with me playing Gangstar most of the time while at work and being on the internet a lot.

Got rid of all the sense and installed ADW. Phone is amazing. Really smooth, no glitches. Faster than its ever been before.

I just wish the sound quality was better. The quality really stinks on this phone. I thought i'd be able to use it as an mp3 player and play music through AUX in my car but i switch back to a CD....yes i still use cd's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Johnn_ares:
have you installed the tinny audio fix solved a lot of my issues and removed the far-side echo on my phone? I used the DHD to Inspire patch because I'm running LeeDroid
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fiasco:
I can't say I've had any issues with sound quality on my Inspire.

However, the stock music player app (non-Sense) blows. I use Poweramp player and it sounds great!

I'm on CM7, with the original stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] InspiresMe:
...anyones g sensor freeze on them from time to time?...
[HTC Inspire 4G] 3GOD:
Loving Gingerbeast! With the phone sleeping overnight (wifi on and underclocked to 245 MHz with the screen off), it used about 1% every 2 hours! Pretty awesome battery life and super smooth as well!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
You mean screen rotations? I had this happen before I was rooted on occasion. About 4 times in a month (before the HSUPA update, so that might have had a couple other tweaks in it too). I have other friends with Stock non-rooted Inspires who have that issue on occasion as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Yep. I have had that problem before I rooted, but i can not verify if it was the root or the fact that I uninstalled the culprit apps when i rooted. Certain apps (like the older versions of GunApp 3D, Jedi Lightsaber (oh yeah... the ultimate nerd app) and iLighter) that used the accelerometer tended to lock it at times, but a simple force stop through the application manager solved the problem instantly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] InspiresMe:
So i found the tinny audio fix. I'll mess with that later. I want to get this screen rotation thing sorted first. This forum has everything but i havent found much info on it.

I think maybe some apps may have been deleted being that im running no sense and flashed with a couple files to remove sense. Sounds like if i was to update, it may fix the issue.

Instead of force stop i'd have to restart the phone or put it in hibernate then it will be back to normal or i'll be in landscape mode all the time.

Quick noobish question. If i was to check for updates in my phone will i loose my root or rom.....Pretty sure this has been answered before sorry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Awkilles:
CM7 (stable) has been best for me.

If you want sense then Coredroid
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Well, at the end of my first day rooted, here's my findings... I've been unplugged for 11 hours with the display on doing things for about 8 hours of that, and I still have 25% battery. I'm running inspired ace with mdj's kernel using set cpu with a minimum of 245 mhz and a max of 1400 mhz. I'm extremely satisfied.
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Auto brightness?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Yes, with the manual slide set to about 50% (I'm convinced that the position of the manual slide determines the max to which auto will go).
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
I'm running this one and radio is super... and battery life compare to stock OTA is awesome

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042

That's the radio I'm running (along with matching ril) as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
Auto brightness works fine for me
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Yeah mine does too I was just curious for comparison with my battery life as that is the same ROM kernel combo I use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Frikkinwolfie:
hey guys this is my first post here, just want to say glad I found this site, has helped me in so many ways so thanks to all of the existing members for that.

As far as the current thread is concerned, I have been playing around with a few roms that are on here, so far I've found LeeDroid has given me a HUGE boost in battery performance, I've been using setCPU on the "smartass" mode and it is working awesome, I would say it has about doubled my battery life by changing roms and using setCPU. Gotta say this has to be the biggest benefit to me rooting my phone so far, I was so disappointed at the battery performance in these phones and looked around for extended batteries at the start and didn't find much of anything that really looked promising, using LeeDroid along with setCPU and keeping my screen brightness at auto has helped tremendously.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
wow leedroid seems to have a pretty solid following even though it doesnt seem to be as popular as cm7 or miui...

anyone have any feed back about android revolution??
[HTC Inspire 4G] Awkilles:
I tried revolution for a day or two and it was fine. To be honest by just using any custom rom, radio, and setcpu you are gonna gain battery usage no matter what.

Just try different set ups. And you will like one of them

[Thunderbolt General] ZBoater:
My wife and I both have non-rooted TBs which started experiencing random reboots after the OTA. We went to the store and they ordered us two new ones. They'll be here Tuesday.

Yesterday my wife's TB rebooted, and got stuck at the HTC logo. She was unable to turn it off. I did a battery pull, and again, stuck at the HTC logo. I swapped my battery since hers was low, nothing. It's dead, Jim.

We called the store and they wouldn't swap it since one is already on order. My wife is a doctor, and being without a phone until Tuesday is not an option. So I loaned her mine. (Sigh).

I tried reflashing the latest signed ruu I got from another thread. I downloaded it onto my SD card, swapped cards, and I was able to hboot and the install seemed to go fine. However, it had no effect. It still gets stuck in the same spot.

Tried factory reset, recovery, nothing. Every time I reboot I get stuck at the logo and I need to pull the battery.

Out of curiosity more than anything else, any other things I can try?

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
Unfortunately, the only thing I would've suggested would be flashing the signed ruu.

You could try reverting to the pre-OTA firmware, but I'm not sure you'll be able to use ADB if you're stuck bootlooping. Check out the "NOT FOR ROOT USERS" section.
[Thunderbolt General] ElectroFetish:
RIP poor TB :(
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
How long did you wait for the screen to clear?

Just curious because I know usually when I do any type of update or rom change, etc, since you normally wipe the data and cache, the boot up can take quite a long time on the initial boot up.

I know some people report as long as 10 minutes or so to get past the screen. I don't think mine ever took that long, but there have been times I think it's stuck and then a minute or so later, it gets past it.

Just my two cents.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
This has happened to a few people already after the update. I don't know what is in this update but HTC screwed up majorly.
