Reportedly WiFi Calling is working over there. Don't try to flash anything you might download from there, it is not likely to be healthy for your Sensation. Mike will come up with something from it if there is anything useful to be had from it, no worries. :D Just relax and wait a few days. And no, it wasn't a stupid question, a lot of us really want WiFi Calling to work again
[HTC Sensation] vgpclife:
I wasn't thinking of flashing anything from there, so no worries with that. What I did with my browser was to grab the browser.apk file out of an AOSP rom, renamed the old one to .bak, copy the new APK into the same /system/app folder, change the permissions to mirror the old, restart and WHALA, working AOSP browser instead of the HTC one. My thought was to do the same with the Wifi calling apk HTC-DPM-GB.apk. Still no go ya think?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Well, I personally am waiting, if I had to have wifi calling for my job or something then I would probably still be on 3.6.13, but it is convenient. I am not sure that is all there is to it, but just the .apk probably won't break anything. Make a nandroid first obviously. ;) Seems like the file should be named HTC-DPM-ICS.apk if it is an update? Also, as I recall, wifi calling is loaded from a module kineto_gan.ko.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
The WiFi calling on Amaze.

The WiFi calling on the Amaze works differently from the Sensation. It is built into the control panel and is not a separate program. So when you go to settings/networks/WiFi, there is a check box there to enable the feature. No icon in the app drawer and no splash screen with on/off function. So I don't think it can be ported from there to here, I could be wrong, but I guess time will tell. Peace, V :cool:
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Not as simple but as mf2112 points out not dangerous as long as you backup before hand. The complexity is that there is at least one module file required for the app to work and that I believe is compiled from c and not java so compatibility would be rare.
[HTC Sensation] vgpclife:
I saw a post that said something similar, and the guy even took a screen shot of it. However, I noticed the same Wifi calling app icon sitting in the bar across the top which made me think there could still be a way.

With that said, I should report back that I did give it a try. I needed to satisfy my own curiosity, so I found the "CapRomBeta" ROM for the Amaze and took a peek under its skirt. For anyone whose curious, there is a WifiCall.apk/odex files but when viewed through 'Root explorer', it only has the default Andy icon. I did find some additional files in an etc/wifi folder also. I pretended like I knew what I was doing and renamed the Wifi folder and the old wifi apk and copied the new stuff in. Changed the permissions and restarted and..... guess what? NOTHING! lol. So curiosity satisfied and I'll go back to waiting. :D
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
ARHD 3.6.11. Yes I superwiped. I took all the options, T-Mobile, Sony Bravia, Supercharger, HQ camera, and faux kernal. So should I reflash kernal now and exactly which?
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Just another report on standby battery life.

Went to sleep yesterday at 06:00 (yeah, my day off :D) with 78%. Woke up around 15:00 with 76%!

I had data/wifi off and only bluetooth on, however I hadn't seen that low of a drain since my DHD days. Judging by the fact that on every GB rom I had I was losing around 5-8% per 9 hours (with same config, only BT on), I guess it's pretty epic :D

(for me at least)
[HTC Sensation] jthumanist:
I just accessed my pull down menu from top of screen without unlocking (moving the lock ring up) my phone. Should it do that?

Sent from my HTC Sensation ARHD 6.6.3 XE. Rockin'
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
That happens to me only when I haven't set a screen lock with password, pattern etc.

I think it's supposed to do so (when you don't have a password lock) in order to be able to view notifications or recent apps without unlocking the screen.

It also happens if you have set to lock the screen after (for example) five minutes, and you try to unlock it before this time is up.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Can someone gave me a link where to download the latest flashable ota that mike included in 6.6.3

TIA
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Here you go.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
thanks for the link:)
[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
Sure. Thanks for your reply.

When you get an SMS, in the notification bar, you pull it down and can see the preview of the message. however if you get 2 SMS, it will group and no longer can see the preview.

I want to see if there's a hack or registry tweak that will allow me to ungroup those notificaitons and when i receive multiple messages, they would stack up on top of each other so i could see the preview of each individual message.
[HTC Sensation] spdrosin:
I don't know if this has allready been mentioned, but what I have noticed on 6.6.3 is that auto Wi-Fi/Network Data has been fixed. Maybe it's the new "R" base (from previous ARHD ROM allready). The thing is that for me it doesn't exist anymore.
[HTC Sensation] darkony:
maybe you should take settings.apk too ?
[HTC Sensation] Addel:
Hey guys,

sorry again, but after attempting to re-do this procedure, I still managed to get that constant reboot.

Here's what I did. (I have done CID btw)

1. Coming from 6.5.3., I downloaded and installed the firmware 3.32.401.x for 6.6.3.

2. While updating, it started to reboot constantly without going to lockscreen (I couldn't remove the firmware). So I took my wife's android, swapped the SD card, deleted the firmware, and added the Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU back into the SD and swapped it back then it worked perfectly.

3. (I'm not sure but I did it anyway)Superwiped, Installed the 6.6.3. with Beats and it worked, but I want to new firmware, does it make any difference at all? I haven't installed the new radio as well for 6.6.3. because last time I did it, it said something about "FAILED"

Sorry if I'm being a noob here, don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for your help. I'll thanks everyone to anyone who quotes me just because I'm nice like that.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I would suggest taking a look at Joaquinf's excellent guide.

If you were on 6.5.3 then you should have already been on the 3.32 firmware.

The "FAILED" message during attempted radio flash means that you have a locked bootloader, which means you don't have Mike's 3.32 firmware currently. You can still flash radios in the PG58IMG.zip format, but really you need to correctly install 3.32.

The phone should reboot once in the middle of a 3.32 firmware install after flashing hboot. After the reboot it flashes the radio.

Definitely go through the guide. :D

One other thing, after flashing the rom, go through first boot/setup before rebooting and then flashing mods. Flashing mods immediately after rom flash is known to cause bootloops.
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
I woke up this morning and my clock is late 2 hours??? Dont know why. I tried refreshing time and now is late 20 minutes?
[HTC Sensation] Addel:
I've gone through the Joaquinf's Excellent Guide, did every step, installed the 3.32 firmware and it still does the bootloop. I didn't install the mods either after flashing rom. and it keeps going. I didn't flash the 3.32 firmware after rooting and flashing to 6.5.3. is that why it keeps rebooting?

radio is at 11.22.3504.07_M
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
That could explain it, you should have flashed the 3.32 firmware before 6.5.3. That is the recommended radio that should match the RIL in 6.5.x or 6.6.x.
[HTC Sensation] Addel:
what do you think i should do? should I download an older version of ARHD then flash the new firmware?
[HTC Sensation] Toxicology:
Beats Beats Beats again :)

Someone wrote (maybe 100 pages back or so) that Beats in ARHD has some issues...well, I use the XE-Version since 6.5.1 and there was never a reason for me to wonder, if beats is working well or not...until that post (100 pages back or so :D). I use to listen a lot to music with my Sensation XE - so after that post (remember 100 pages back or so!!) I put an Eye on that issue, and I also have it. I mean, when I start HTC Player, with plugged headphoes of course, the "red" Beats-logo appears in statusbar...so far so good....but when I turn beats manually off and back on again, the sound is a bit better in comparison to the sound when beats automatically starts. But above that: when I listen to music and receive a sms while listening, the music stops for the notificationsound to appear, and then the music comes back much much louder than before the sms and with much more bass...the sound is like what I expect from beats-mod!!! But when I turn the player completely off and back on again, the sound is again a shame...even though beats is turned on! Turning beats off and back on again gives a bit more better sound...and after receiving any Notifications-sounds, the player-sound is brilliant afterwards. How can this be???:confused:
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Im still having problem with the sound every tym im listening music with headphone and i recieve message the volume increase by it self its stil in 6.6.3 xe
[HTC Sensation] d_matt20:
hey i was just wondering what firmwire is required for Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) + Sense UI 3.0 + Beats Audio thanks
[HTC Sensation] Toxicology:
+1...and what I wrote some posts back!!
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Does anyone else get "Android is upgrading" after every reboot? I also loose my sync with Facebook contacts, I need to re-long into various accounts, apps act like its the first time they're ran, etc.

That only occurs whenever you wipe cache, davilk cache.
[HTC Sensation] ccfahrer:
Hi,

is there noone, who could test this?

Thanks a lot.
[HTC Sensation] huy_lonewolf:
+1 to this. The same thing happens to me as well.
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
What's the best kernel according to you guys? Pls tell me the best one in your opinion. :)
[HTC Sensation] jonsharky:
Media volume vs ringtone volume adjustment related?
[HTC Sensation] Stickster42:
My personal preference is faux123's kernel has been since gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
Faux123 v005 :)
[HTC Sensation] kongmyy:
finally someone who has the same issue. its sad to see no replies done. i never really cared about notifications..i can notice it straight if i pause my music and play it again. the sound is so much different than before.
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
I'm currently using faux kernel..battery life is superb with this kernel although also good on Sebastian kernel.. I did notice a few lags and hiccups on this kernel as compared to Sebastian. So if I were you, and if you were a heavy gamer I would go for Sebastian as it doesn't lag at all..as for faux, battery life is superb but like I said above hiccups here and there, especially when playing games.
[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
I use stock kernel with no beats mod and if i turn "off and on" beats, I have the same volume with no difference of equalization.

The only problem i have is the latest described with notification, after an sms notification i have a volume boost.
[HTC Sensation] mobilkungen78:
I had some problem connecting to facebook after flash in the setup,:D but after a second wipe and flash all is great..No bugs yet to report so..

Thanx for a superb rom
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Using faux kernel but battery life is not very good /:
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
hi sorry for the late reply

well the only way I could do that is with the GO sms app from the play store, that app has a setting to set each individual a icon and ringtone. so every time you receive a msg it will show in its own icon with or without preview. hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry I didn't answer last night, I was passing out on the keyboard yet again and had to drag myself off to bed. I guess I would suggest first just a redownload of the firmware and validate the MD5 checksum, then reflash once verified. You can do that without wiping or reflashing the ROM. I think you are already on 6.6.3 but I could be wrong.
[HTC Sensation] Dreamweaver:
just my and 3 friends opinion:

faux123 kernel is way much better than the sebastianFM-Kernel. 50% more battery life. I think it depends on what you do... if you are a gamer you should use the supercharger script, the bravia engine and the sebastian kernel. If not - just install the faux123 kernel and you will be fine :)

[HTC Sensation] xCALLmeKING:
I am a lil confused about the "Restore HTC Lockscreen" option.

A few pages back a user flashed 2.1 +no-sense, and asked if there was a way to get the HTC lockscreen back. Mike stated it was in the works, and after a little wait it is there! However, it clearly states not to mix it with the no-sense script. Can someone clarify this for me?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
"Restore HTC Lockscreen" MOD is mainly to revert "Remove HTC Loscreeen" MOD. It can be flashed over no-Sense as well but you wont have possibility to customize shortcuts on the lockscreen.
[HTC Sensation] xCALLmeKING:
Ahh...Got it. Thanks for the speedy response sir.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You're welcome ;)

OK guys, off to bed now ! Long day tomorrow, kernels section must be finally sorted for new base. Hasta la vista :D
[HTC Sensation] lavcoles:
does this rom include RIM files or a radio? (in the basic flash) So basically i have a decent radio and I'm wondering if this will change that?? and before you tell me to read the first post i already have (skimmed). But i didn't see anything so im good right?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Every rom has ril libs. My rom has libs for recommended radio which is in the first post but not in the rom.

Faux has just release version 6 beta 1 of his kernel today...

http://t.co/wpxDEs95
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
There is nothing in the ROM that would lead to extra battery usage.

Faux kernel is very, very, very, very battery efficient.

1. I would flash Faux's 005 kernel again (get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16608447&postcount=1)

2. Run your phone for a few days while battery reporting stabilizes.

If you're still having problems, you have a rogue application. You need to track it down.

Anyone who understands how Android (and Sense UI) works, wouldn't be jumping all over this "I just flashed XXX, and now my battery usage is awful". For the most part it's impossible. It is almost never the ROM or Kernel.

It is the fact that battery reporting gets out of sync because of new ROM or kernel. A few cycles is all it takes to get things back on track. Your battery usage isn't changed, the reporting is.

P.
[HTC Sensation] lamusician:
I would just recommend calibrating the battery.

Get it to completely die where the phone shuts off and then charge it from the wall until it gets to 100%.

Is there a solve?

Faux has just release version 6 beta 1

Installed today and appears to work very well,going to give it 24hrs to check battery life.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
The screen may be the single biggest drawer of power, so I usually suggest disabling auto-brightness and setting the brightness to a level you can work with, for me around 25% works. I also edit my build.prop and change the supplicant timer from 120 to 900 to prevent WiFi from pinging my remembered networks as often, turn off open network notification, and run the mobile network on 3G instead of 4G since it uses less power.

Some other things to do include turning off pocket mode under the sounds settings and disable vibrate feedback.
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
How is it? have you tried the latest Faux beta? is it stable? :-)
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Alright. Will heed your advice. Not trying to say that the rom or kernel is the source of my terrible battery life. Just curious that why my battery life is worse than many ppl. No offence was intended. :D btw, what's that dinik dialer and no bkg clock mods in your signature? :)

Gmail Sync Issues -- Possible Fix

Give Gmail a full reset:

Go to Settinngs

Select Apps

Select All

Select Gmail

Push the "Clear data" button

Push the "Clear cache" button

Additionally, if this is not the Google Account you setup your phone with, you can remove it and then set it up again.

Please note that your signature and all other non-default settings will be removed. For me, I use a note application (Catch for instance) to copy/paste my signature into so that I can easily add it back after this.

I have had issues with this in the past (as well as failure to send and/or receive) and this has always solved it for me.

How do I keep the Sense from getting booted from memory?

[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
A disposable future?

Off topic warning: Yes with phones that have permanent batteries there is built in obsolescence, which hurts not only the environment but also keeps phones out of less fortunate countrymen's hands and stops global progress for all to have access to information first hand of world events. Not good for an open source platform. But there are so many that do not care about such issues that it will take a great deal of information/awareness to correct this downward spiral trend. Let's hope people and manufacturers come to their senses and show some concern about those less fortunate and the environmental concerns we all should share in. Peace, V :cool:

Ps: My HD2 is still running great and is being used gratefully in a land very far away. What a great legacy.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
To me it isn't an upgrade and I will NOT give HTC money to follow Apple's foolishness. I could live with the sealed in battery after the update to ICS based-ROMs gave me a big enough boost to avoid buying an extended battery, I don't like it but could live with it, but no SD (or XD!) slot means no sale.

Hi!

1.Full wipe script.

2.Begin installation.

5.Flash stock kernel.

After this set up you will not have any problems. This rom is fast enough even with stock kernel. With this set up I am streaming radio and the charger is connected too. The phone is only a little bit warm. Battery life is great, about 20 % more than Gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] khizerk:
Can someone tell me whats the normal discharge rate in deep sleep mode for a sensation? I read the topics linked to in the first thread and they said 3-10 mA. Though the forum is for a Desire HD.

I logged mine (on a phone which is brand new, new flash, nothing installed) and mine would hover around 40-60 mA mark at night when under deep sleep. Yet my battery drain was low (in %) at that time.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
For a Sensation 40-60 is about right. I got better results after uninstalling all battery/current monitors and widgets when I realized they were part of the problem and not part of the solution, and I just started tracking my actual usage time when doing the same types of activities.
