Hi,

If I were you ,I would uninstall SetCPU and just use Daemon Controller.

That would reduce the confusion.

[HTC Sensation] elgrego4:
Do you use sw or hw? I tried playing a 720p mp4 of cars 2 and the first few times I tried it, it wouldn't play but then it did.
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
It depends of the movie/format if i look less than 30mins Brrip I look sw-fast other dvdrips in hw,try in either settings..

It's down to res.and quality..

But MX is douing just fine ;)

Hello,

I just installed Android Revolution HD 3.6.8 and so far so good. My question is where is the boot into recovery option. I tried in quick settings and power and it just shows restart. No option to go into recovery.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] wolfpack612:
you need advanced power menu. mods are located on the second post.

GTA3 working well !

Here it is finally out:

GTA3 10th anniversary by Rockstar, on the Market, at about 3.80 euros !

It's working on our Sensation, with 3.6.8 for me, and Chainfire3D to let the game believe you have a Tegra 2

It definitly takes the max out of our Sensation, CPU clock over 1.5ghz is not vain here!

...and it's not 100% smooth at 1.7ghz I think (maybe 90% very playable anyway, and I haven't looked for videos on a Tegra2 to compare smoothness), but so far I didn't try to reduce the texture quality or other settings in CF3D, it can improve smoothness without loosing much quality, just have been enjoying playing the PS2 game on my Android !

3.6.X is definitly the ROM for gamers, as 4.1.X won't support CF3D
[HTC Sensation] plocri:
I flashed it right after 4.1.8... seems fine now, if you need something in particular, just let me know ;)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
So far:

- Some battery drain but nothing awful. Been on it for oh 4 hrs now and down 20% (though could be a battery misreading as it goes up usually after a reboot)

This is with 4 emails, checked 2 websites, made 1 10 minute phone call and about 10 GTalk messages (Anker1900)

-No lag what so ever (192000/1296000)

-Read that the power button issue is gone (I didn't test but on Faux forum others did)

-Faster wake time it seems. Not so sluggish at first.

**Update: May possibly be just me but my phone seems to be getting rather hot. And I am not rendering video or playing a game.
[HTC Sensation] nPHILLY:
Just flashed last nite. Seems to me the phone signal is weaker. I have the correct radio. I have a friend that feels his signal has decreased also. I'll post later.
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Thank you wolfpack612. It was there and flashed simple.. I think this guy is going to be very happy with his phone. :D
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
It's been in my phone for about 8 hours. Everything works.

I can't find any difference between this and 2.6r. I am told the power button problem is solved, but I can't confirm as my power button always worked correctly.

Speed is fine, battery looks good so far, signal strength and data speed are exactly the same as before.

[HTC Sensation] gewit:
New kernel..So far everything works great,from the beggining there wore some glitches but after re-boot everything seams to go away..Try to do quick test and i got a feeling that is a bit quicker,apps are launch faster and so on..Nead some more tests and will report back.

Edit:while playing Modern combat phone doesnt heat that much,.

nead a bit more testing to see how is the battery..
[HTC Sensation] tony yayo:
So I forgot that a couple updates ago the default minimum setting in Daemon controller was raised to 384400. I set it back to 192200 and now I'm at 18 hrs with 36% left! My phone was using TWICE as much power as necessary while sleeping! If you aren't getting 12+ this could be why!
[HTC Sensation] dj-darkside:
Why you use Chainfire3D?

Tegra 2 not required.

GTA3 runs also with another CPU´s

This game runs very Smooth on ARHD 3.6.8 without CF3D on 1,5Ghz
[HTC Sensation] supendal:
So far so good. I think we have to do a full charge to see how it does with battery.

Do you have it? Mine (bought on the market) refuses to work if I don't use CF3D :confused:
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
About all that sense overhead

I am very happy with ARHD 4.1.8 with Faux 2.6r (now testing 2.7b1, even nicer). Everything is smooth, no lags, applications open quickly and I'm not feeling limited by phone performance.

Now, I use my phone for communications -- keeping in touch, I am not a gamer. Maybe I'll play a little Fruit Ninja while waiting for something, but my phone is how I keep connected.

But, I read about how Sense is slow and laggy. The overhead is ridiculous, the OS is too big, blah blah. It definitely sounds logical, so with that in mind I spent some time experimenting.

I tried two AOSP and two Stripped Rosi-less Sense ROMs (one 2.3.4, one 2.3.5) to see what performance advantages I could get.

Ran each for a day, did some testing. Even tried the new Trinity stripped down kernel on Senseless ROM based on newest RUU.

Results: Meh. Maybe a little faster, maybe not. Nothing I'd notice in day-to-day. If I saw a big performance boost, I could live without the attractive Sense format and functions. I didn't.

Sometimes the grass is greener, sometimes it isn't.

ringtone volume keep dropping him self..every time should i volume up ringtone volume :mad::confused::(
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I think your conclusion is right. Performance gain is no reason to drop Sense. Not on such a powerful device.

Not liking Sense is a totally different thing however. Taste is subjective.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I always enjoy how on Sense phones they try to get AOSP. Then on AOSP phones they always try to get Roms with sense.

MIUI is in its own playing field.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well, the reason for this is probably that some ppl (including me) select their phones for their hardware and then try to get the software of their choice running on them. I also have a MacBook Air and NEVER would run MacOS on it. ;)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Really right.

At the very beginning of ARHD, maybe, No Sense was a little faster.

Now, I can't see any difference (I try Sense after each new flash, just to see if it was improved) , but I always remove it mainly because I don't really like the launcher, especially the bottom bar, and prefer Launcher pro + beautifull widgets, to somehow re-create a "Sense taste" but more transparent, and in my very-own opinion, a little smoother with home-screen transitions.

Just a question of taste, but I agree, performance-wise, no difference now

PS: I tried AOSP too, I'm a real performance addict, and still using ARHD 3.6.X edition, both because I don't like ROMs with included themes, and also because it is faaaaaaasssssssssssssttt !

openvpn

Hi all,

I just upgraded my phone from Desire HD to Sensation XE.

Was nice to see openvpn connecting without any additions rather than "OpenVPN Settings", but for some reason openvpn server doesn't route the traffic from the phone.

I can connect and route all traffice from my home computer using windows 7, and I can even ping from my computer to the local ip address that my server gives to my phone.

I had the same issues with my DHD and I went around it by changing the iptables file from another ROM to revolution hd. It looks like the traffic is not sent to openvpn server and instead uses the phone provider gateway/dns etc...

Is there anybody routing all traffic trought openvpn without mayor changes?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I did give one of the alpha ICS builds a go for a bit and I gotta say I did miss the sense ui, I like sense and in a nice polished rom like ARHD there's no performance issues. Looking forward to sense 4!

I need a time machine cos I hate waiting!

I did spend years making a time machine but of never worked, waste of ly life. If only it had worked I could go back and not have wasted my time on it....
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Tell me about it.. I have to go to Poland and kill my doppleganger of Kohr-Ah who time traveled 3 days ahead of me.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Does he only stop to cook Roms for xda O.o
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
If you haven't tried it already, the Self Kang CM7 ROM is very, very fast. I'm using it as a daily drver at the moment because when flicking between apps, it's seamless. Sense needs a couple of seconds to get its act together sometimes and CM7 is just in a league of its own with that kinda thing.

Faux's AOSP kernel is highly recommended though, as well as Go Launcher EX. ADW + stock kernel is pretty juddery.

does any one know if battery mods drain battery when the screen is off ?

[HTC Sensation] layercake87:
game works just fine, there is no need for chainfire. but unfortunately it's only playable so there are some framerate-drops sometimes (runs very fluid on the sgs2). i think it's a driver-problem of htc since they don't can manage to put out some good driver for adreno-gpu or adreno is really slow :-S

Help Please!

Hey guys so I have an issue here. I recently sold my rooted Sensation on ebay, and I shipped it with the latest version of the Android Revolution HD rom. Well the buyer has received the phone but they messaged me with an issue. The buyer says:

"When I am on the phone talking it goes out and doesn't come back on or the screen freezes. I wanted to contact you first to see if you knew how to troubleshoot before I left feedback, as I like the phone; however, this is a hassle."

Now obviously since I don't have phone I can't see what the problem may be. I used Android Revolution before and it worked fine, so I'm not sure what is going on. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the issue?
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
which version of arhd did you have on it? latest at the time, 3.6.8 or 4.1.8? any mods? kernels? i feel like this issue was discussed before on a few updates ago
[HTC Sensation] ArcticWolf91:
3.6.8

With the 4G icon mod. Everything else is stock...
[HTC Sensation] sherrypizza:
Ive downloaded it in my ARHD 4.1.8 without CF3D, and its working perfectly, smooth without any lag....
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Yes, it just seems that having CF3D installed + "fix market" function lead to the fact I downloaded the Tegra2 version of the game (I've read that there are 3 different versions on the market, a device will only see the one compatible for it)

It's smooth if I reduce textures to 16-bit, and according to the videos I've seen on youtube, the non-Tegra2 version is similar: 16-bit textures (32-bit are darker)

I'll delete CF3D then GTA3 and get it again from the market, just to see if it's faster without using CF3D

I'll keep 3.6.X and CF3D anyway, because I have other games that are Tegra2-only (galaxy on fire2, trainz, my first train set, Hardwood solitaire, Riptide, Pinball and Shadowgun-I've seen a non Tegra2 cracked version of this latest)

Not to mention that PSX and N64 are faster with 3.6.X than 4.1.X, or at least requires less overclocking

ringtone volume keep dropping him self..every time should i volume up ringtone volume

[HTC Sensation] vcoolvin:
Even i have observed the same thing, and i was under the impression that i must be doing it by mistake, but its happening too often specially after calls, and because of this i have missed a few calls.
[HTC Sensation] Rolando88:
Dude does it matter ghehe..

Sometimes im missing calles even with max sound its too crazy soft!?

Everybody loves Desire HD when it first came out!..

Then when they had it there were much complaints about the sound and battery life..

Now with the Sensation it looks like it even got worse :S
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I think that was not the most intelligent decision you ever made to sell a mobile with a custom ROM and not in stock condition :(. You will end up troubleshooting that device for ages. You better take it back, flash it to stock and sell it again. Whatever you tell the buyer now to troubleshoot will certainly require some flashing and you have no clue what he makes out of that. He could end up with a bricked device and you will be the culprit :o.
[HTC Sensation] vcoolvin:
Hahaha thats so true and you know what i use a ringtone that i dont like much but have to use it as its loud and irritating by that atleast i cant make out my phone is ringing somewhere far away even if its near me.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
totally agree id take it back, flash it back to stock and send it out again, maybe point him here just to show what device can do, or maybe let him know its got custom rom on it as it runs better, he might be into flashing etc..

be careful u dont brick the device turning it back to stock tho!
[HTC Sensation] Zlyc:
I'm on 4.1.8 faux 0.2.7b1 kernel.

I realize that my whatsapps and emails aren't pushed immediately when my phone is asleep. Like after screen off, I'll need to open my whatsapp before it sends me a message that was sent 30 minutes ago or some time ago.

Any idea why this happens?

I was on the default kernel 0.2.6 and it was the same too.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
On Wifi or data connection? Probably you have set it to "off" when asleep.
[HTC Sensation] Zlyc:
Missed that info, on both Wifi and Data.

No I haven't got Data or Wifi to off when asleep.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Agreed. Most people here know what they're doing and are familiar with custom ROMs; end-users on eBay? Not so much.

Hi. For all those who experience wrong governor readings in Daemon Controller I have put out a new version. I cannot test it personally as I don't own a Sensation and the three devices I test it with works flawlessly. Anyway here is the link

Edit: Please provide feedback to my thread. So that I can Iron out errors and bugs with your help of course :D
[HTC Sensation] gibbs1984:
My data connection speed seems to have slowed, I used to be capped at 1.8mbps but now I can't get over 0.9mbps, no matter where I am, could this be a ROM problem or could it be a T-Mobile problem cause they have done it before where they capped it at 0.3mbps until I had an argument with them to up it.

Just wondering if they're playing silly buggers again or whether there's something in the ROM that could change this?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Hi Sybregunne,

new beta works after a reboot :)

Can you please make it possible to undervolt with our roms (faux kernel)? :D
[HTC Sensation] ArcticWolf91:
You're probably right. And I even said on the listing that it is rooted and that it would come with the ARHD rom, so they cannot blame me for that.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I have an unusual problem which ive had since updating to 4.1.8, ive tried a few things like re-downloading location files but no luck.

The issue i have is that the phone cant detect my current location for weather etc. it just says united kingdom which i feel is a tad broad.. has anyone else had this? i have all the location setting stuff ticked in settings.

any suggestions anyone? :(
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Same here Hawke.. Its not just us, its every where! As long as i am connected to my home wlan, i only get the weather for germany. If i am connected to the 3g network, it tells me the right location. If you google that, you will see that lots of people have this problem! I have it with my desire too and nothing was changed on it.. I have this since 2-3 days now.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Working fine here on 4.1.8 in London. On wlan and data.

Thanks.

And I've got to drive to Bristol today. :rolleyes:

[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
I also have OpenVPN running on my phone and it routes traffic over my vpn perfectly.

Did you add the redirect-gateway to your config file or "push redirect-gateway" to your server config file?

Oh and if you are using WiFi on your phone, check that "Fix HTC Routes" option under advanced.

[edit]

Oh, and if your provider (like Vodafone) adds a proxy to your mobile network settings, try to disable those.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
its strange ive never had this on an ARHD build before and its suddenly happening, even on 3G network its most of the time just saying uk, although it does decide to work sometimes... i might nandroid and titanium backup tonight and see if it fixes it.

malybru is it actually settling up there? Brighton we had snow storm this morning but nothing settled, just bloody freezing! i dont wanna get stuck at work for the weekend :(
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
Hi there guys! :)

How's going....long time,no see! :D

I just wanted to say that i flashed newest faux's kernel (0.2.7b)

It seems to be faster,a lot faster! :)

No problems during an update,everything is as it's supposed to be! :)

Cheers...

P.S I'll let u know about battery in couple of days! :D
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
We had a fair snowstorm this morning (I'm about 40 minutes north of you) because we're so high up but yeah, it didn't settle and on the way to work it just stopped completely. I doubt we'll get any more for the next few days :)
[HTC Sensation] jaybea:
I've been having this problem over the last 24 hours on the original stock ROM, so it may be nothing to do with ARHD.

I'm going to flash ARHD later - I was hoping it would solve the location problem with the stock ROM!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
It depends on the weather service you are using. On my phone the standard weather says "Germany" and the weather from Beautiful widgets locates my hometown. So, no ROM-Problem, but a problem of the weather service I suppose. Started yesterday evening here.

Edit: I think even the weather data are localized to the hometown, cause temperatures and so on are identical to the ones in beautiful widgets. I think only the "Hometown"-String that is sent from the weather-service to the phone is wrong.

Hi,

No settling.

Don't use task killers on a Android OS.

It will just slow your system down and yes it will eventually drain your battery faster.

How about average current voltage (mA) when idling ? I'm getting around 38mA feels like still high lol. My previous android on HD2 was around 3-4mA or this current voltage are just for show & battery consuming too ?

Sorry for the noob questions :(

Tested with 3.6.8 and i dont feel that much improvement, i think is because this is an xe based rom so maybe it works better with 4.xx series in which volume is decreased by default. Thanks for the hint though
