I don't understand and am fed up with reboots.

Hey!

I am a long time user of the ARHD sensation ROM. First ROM I've installed on my sensation and still am using. A little addicted to flashing.

So, what I have learned during these few months:

When I was on all stock, it was fine. When I switched to ARHD, everything was still fine. Just a few random reboots.

But now I am fed up with them, so I'm looking for an answer.

When I install a ROM, I usually upgrade the FW, if it is necessary, then do a superwipe, install ROM. After that comes Google account and Apps.

But the thing is, no matter what I do, I always get random reboots.

So now I did the same exact thing: Superwipe, ARHD 6.6.2. no bravia, stock kernel, camera mod, no supercharger. My phone is clean of unnecesary things but I still get random reboots.

When I pull out the battery and then turn on my phone, it is fine for some time and then again - random reboots.

So, my question is: Where and how can I find out what is causing my phone to crash? Is there any file I can share with you that will pose at least a basic understanding of the cause of random reboots? If there is, where is it located?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

if u google u will see that other phones / ROMs (also AOSP) have the same problem. the bug is somehow related to google+. if u uninstall google+, it should be gone. maybe try reinstalling google+ from market then.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
has anyone encounter this problem every time i receive a text message while im listening music with headset the volume increase
[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
I realized that also but I probably found a solution:

Go to the SuperSu application and then check desired application - click it - and choose Access - Grant.

Then it wont ask that every time again and again because that application.

I hope I answered correctly :o
[HTC Sensation] grega_slo:
Good news, new OTA is here (Settings update).

Will you include it Mike?
[HTC Sensation] Charles Collins:
Just wondered if anyone else has an issue with creating a shortcut for 'Directions and Navigation'. Normally when I type in an address it searches my contact list but it isn't doing it now so I have to type the whole address. Also the 'save' button is greyed out. Navigation works well apart from this.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Yes, I've seen that happen before. And the volume lowers again if you receive another text.

Sense 4.0?

Will Sense 4.0 will be included in the new rom?

There are allready some roms out there wich contain the new sense 4.0, but i prefer the ARHD roms so it would be great if the new sense version will be avaiable in this rom.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Mike will make a Sense 4.0 ROM when he has the HTC source.

Maybe later this month.

:)
[HTC Sensation] spazoid:
Have the mirror for that version??
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
thats what i see also in the 6.6.X
[HTC Sensation] pacman2009:
is it posible to revert back to, say 6.6.0 from 6.6.2 ?.

i think iv read you can some were in this thread you can.

but theres so much to read and take in, i can not be sure now..

thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] jchee81:
Have you given this ROM a few charge cycles?
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
actualy not yet but every time i flash a rom i see to it im fully charge and calibrate the battery. maybe it depends how i use my phone
[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
I added 2, let me know if you want them removed
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,just restore the nandroid backup you made.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jchee81:
Batt life gets a lot better after a few cycles for me. Try for a couple of days and see if it changes.
[HTC Sensation] ahassouna:
i had the exact same thing, and yes my 1st rom was arhd aswell till now

here is what solved it for me.

1-format SD card "and this sir is the big secret, maybe some resident files that cause this - i have no idea why" - remember to copy your files to PC/laptop 1st

2-flash firmware "again"

3-superwipe

4-flash arhd with stock kernel

5-flash firmware again

6-flash whatever custom kernel you want

7-when copying back your stuff to sd avoid copying the default folders, just copy your apks, music, videos...etc

8- using titanuim backup/restore tends to make loads of problems and FCs so try avoid using it in this process.

at first i was going crazy but doing this gave me better battery life, smoother performance, faster read/write on sd card (however you can set cache to 2MB or 4MB and will get even better speeds on sd card)

hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] pacman2009:
thanks...

i thought so. wow fast moving thread hard to keep up :D
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
First of all, would just like to say that ARHD is the best custom ROM around and i have been using it since 6.5.1 with no problems what so ever...Just have a quick question.. i flashed 6.6.2 and flashed the HQ camera, can't seem to see any differences though. :-)
[HTC Sensation] erikzenx:
What usualy helps for me is flashing the kernel again after flashing the new rom:

Clear cache + dalvik

Install rom (i normally choose with custom faux kernel)

boot rom

reboot into recovery

flash latest version of the (faux) kernel

reboot rom
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
I've added a step above which can help, I think.

When you flash a kernel, it writes it to /boot

Depending on the kernel and the method you use to flash, you may get some leftover files in there, conflicts, etc

Formatting /boot gives the kernel a clean slate to install.

I always do this ... but would like to know if it's necessary, i.e. does flashing the kernel from 4ext wipe /boot first? Anyone know?
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
difference in what? the ROM or the Camera mod?

where did you check if there's a difference in Camera quality? in the phone? have you check the file size? did you change quality to max? have you checked in a PC? do you even have a file to compare the rom with and without the HQ camera mod?

:D

installing 6.6.2 XE on 6.6.2 - possible?

hi,

first, thank for this AMAZING ROM. just upgraded from GB to ICS and i'm amazed!!!:)

I have the "standard" sensation and flashed the 6.6.2zip. i wonder if the 6.6.2XE is only for XE devices or maybe it is compatible also to my device? (so I'll enjoy the beats audio...)

if yes - do i need to run a full wipe when "moving" from 6.6.2 to 6.6.2XE

thanks again for your replies and for the brilliant ROM!:o
[HTC Sensation] milo77:
Yes. You can install XE version over Regular HTC Sensation.

I'm sure that will be ok without full wipe.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
You can do it from Gallery. Browse to the picture you prefer, tap on the picture and hit the "More" button and choose "Set as" and then Wallpaper.

[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
Re-flashing firmware has helped several people. you don't need to wipe.
[HTC Sensation] solski:

You can't. It's a HTC bug and there isn't solution for it yet. It's at the moment same as Your wallpaper.

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Just a word about "battery life".

Mike's ROMs are based on Stock HTC. They are tweaked and optimized, but version to version on the same (or similar) base will not actually change battery usage at all. There is nothing in 6.6 that makes it better or worse than 6.5 or 6.3 or 6.0. Sorry, it's just the facts. If you're using the same kernel, CPU speeds, and firmware and running the same apps, any difference you're perceiving is just that, your perception.

When flashing a new ROM or kernel your battery reporting loses calibration.

Your battery life doesn't actually change, it's just that it takes a few cycles for the reporting to normalize.

Flashing a ROM (or kernel) then complaining about (or praising) battery usage is just absurd.

In addition, it is very difficult to actually gauge battery usage unless you can absolutely gurarantee that you're comparing apples to apples, exact same amount of screen on, exact same amount of data moved, etc. An extra 10 minutes of screen on in a day will make a huge difference in current drain.

The only thing that makes sense is to use your phone normally for a week or so and see where you're are at the end of each day.

So, instead of perpetuating this superstition about minor changes in a ROM having a big effect on battery life based on "feelings" and short term use, we should all calm down and be more critical in our observations.

P.
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
Quality posting.
[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
Great post!
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
That's not strictly true though... Even though you run the same apps, each new ROM usually contains updated apps such as Google Play, Maps, etc, and who knows what these apps are actually doing behind the scenes different to what they did in the previous version. They may now run a background daemon taking CPU/battery that wasn't there in the previous version of the app.

I doubt it would affect battery to any noticeable levels though.
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
And there's something else..

The key points are it needs a few charge cycles over a week, but ...

6.6.2 - 10th April

6.6.1 - 6th April

6.6.0 - 3rd April

6.5.5 - 29th March

6.5.4 - 27th March

6.5.3 - 24th March

6.5.2 - 20th March

;)

We've not had much chance to do a few charge cycles since 6.5.1 before the next release comes out and resets it all! (Not that I'm complaining about the release schedule.. the more the merrier!)
[HTC Sensation] ahassouna:
definitely agree :) wait till we get 4.0.4 or sense 4 or whatever makes us happier lol
[HTC Sensation] boroboy69r:
the updates are good some people just need to let the rom settle in or wipe battery stats after a new flash and a full charge imo thats what i do and my battery is an anker and it lasts aprox 16 hours aday under heavy usage on all arhd rom versions
[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
Like I said before. I think Mike is more addicted to cooking roms than we are to flashing them!! :D

3. Mike, do I need new firmware to flash this on my LG Windows Phone?

4. Where is link for ROM?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] marcusgolden:
Man, I really hesitant to asking questions, because I feel at some point they have already been asked and I've done a poor job at searching. I figured if I don't get a single answer, at least, I can get links to point in the direction of stuff to read.

First of all, I use my phone basically for phone stuff (phone calls, messaging, and occasionally surfing). My problems could be that I don't use my phone enough. But I like playing around with it in an attempt to make it as efficient as possible.

(1) Kernels

- to my knowledge, I have never gotten a reboot or freeze(battery pull required) while using any of the kernels(stock, SeBas, or Faux), though I haven't use Faux 004 final and any of Bricked yet. My question is what should I be noticing with the different kernels? Does each kernel have strengths and weakness compared each other? If I had lag, will it be noticeable? It just seems that no matter what I do, everything seems the same. I just feel so numb with every change I make to my phone.

- I don't notice an difference in speed of the phone, whether the kernel is set at 1.2, 1.5, or 1.7. Maybe if I had games install, i would see a difference.

(2) Radios

- I live in a pretty terrible place (Oxford, MS 38655) for data speeds for T-Mobile. 4g is not an option here, basically Edge. The phone signal is decent. With that being said, I'm I wasting my time trying different radios? I tried the (Dish2/Dish3) file with matching build.prop on the "_M" radio, but found little difference between the two Dish. I haven't tried the "_M2" radio.

(3) Battery

- I can't really comment on battery life since I really only use my phone about 2-3 hours a day.

My phone works fine with whatever ROM, kernel, mod, or firmware I flashed as long it is done properly according to instructions provided. However, I would like to know differences in things, so I can contribute my experiences to the forums and maybe help others. I never notice lag, reboots, freezes, or etc but I constantly reading posts from other users having these problems and they are using to same ROM, kernel, and firmware that I am using.

After all that nonsense above, here are my two questions:

(1) Where do I go (if any) to see what are the official data speeds for an area so I can see if my tests compare? That way when I try new radios/firmwares/Dish, I can see how they measure up to the standard as well as each other.

(2) How do you know what kernel is best for your phone's setup? Are there some rules of thumb occurrences that I should be noticing?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the length!!

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Which other firmware version?

(Also no need to post the same question so much)

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Reflash the rom ontop of itself and choose sebastions. No data loss and then you know all the files you need are there.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Kernels will help affect battery life and performance it he main things for me. Since you don't use your phone a lot you may notice it comes out of sleep faster. The UI is smoother and simple things of that nature.

If you don't have 3g/4g available there and get good signal for calls and edge (which is the normal for you if reading right) I'd say no reason to try.

If you are getting bad signal then worth trying.

I usually just base it off the results of speedtest.net (there is an app in the market)

If your phone works, is smooth, have great to good levels of battery? If so then you are good. Different kernel devs make them different ways. Some for speed. Some for battery. Some for features. Some everything they can. etc etc. As a person who barely uses their phone besides basics I'd say unless you play games just whatever makes your UI smooth, good battery and no issues. Then you are doing fine.

I think the experience i get from this ROM is better than what i can get from the stock ROM. First of all, stock ROM, htc sensation is just htc sensation.. no beats audio software.. thats a reason enough for me. Other than that, ever since i have used this ROM, i haven't had any problems at all, just like you said everyones experiences are different from one another.

In reference to the bug where on wake up, Wifi signal appears to be 1 bar but Wifi performs perfectly well.

Switching labels made no difference. Also, it is not just a display bug. When this happens. WIFI calling refuses to initiate because it says "poor wifi signal".

So far to fix it, I have been putting my phone to sleep/waking it again. However if I get an incoming call and it is in this mode, WIFI calling may be disabled because it thinks the signal is too low!
