I need 2 degrade my 6.0.2 XE ROM if possible without flashing it once again, so can someone be so polite and attach link for Sebastian Kernel 1.2Ghz or show me a path to do that.

Reason behind that is few reboots of my own.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] elgrego4:
Is anyone else having problems loading YouTube videos?
[HTC Sensation] Lennydk87:
Im having reboots after every second call im having, and just random reboots and freezes, and I get FC on when I switch to navigation in Maps, and also sometimes in the browser (stock android browser).

Running 6.0.2 @ 1.5 ghz kernel and sony bravia.

Im going to flash the 1.2 stock kernel, im tired of the phone rebooting so often.

But damn it runs smooth, im looking forward to some custom kernels. :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
No problems on my side.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Just flash the ROM again and choose 1.2 GHZ

[HTC Sensation] PeaterG:
generally very happy!

Anybody got any ideas about the fullscreen streamed video going green in default browser issue?

-after a day I can report battery life is best its ever been!

Add about 4 hours to the time on this - I rebooted about 1pm GMT!

I have had 2 sense reboots throughout today - no obvious cause though.
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
That's for if they don't show up at all. My pictures show up, they just don't show up in my sms for some reason.

But ICS is different. Remove or freeze Lookout and that line will reappear.

[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try a different cable? If you boot to bootloader, does it show Fastboot USB?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I un-installed Lookout. The whole "Device Administration" area is missing from my security tab. I don't have any other apps installed that would do that. Do you know of any others besides "Lookout, Exchange, etc. etc..."? I was hoping for a quick terminal command to allow .apk's. I haven't found it yet.
[HTC Sensation] vasujahagirdar:
yes i did that many times still no syne,even i noticed it with insertcoin rom.do not know the problm

[HTC Sensation] TheByteSmasher:
I have been trying to figure this out... Any opinions would be great. Does the Rev. HD rom w/beats enable the phones speaker to be louder? We all have said that the sound is low and pretty mediocre but it is also very quiet. I'm asking not only about music but ringer, alarms, speakerphone etc... Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] ndbubbles:
I had beats activated for about 10mins. Turned off though.

made my audio quieter plus not clear. I prefer to use Dolby.

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Thanks, everything is fine now. I booted to bootloader, fastboot, then plugged USB and got fastbootusb.

ADB found the phone. Now it always sees the phone, running, recovery or bootloader.

Weird, but everything is the way it was now.

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I think that all the "beats audio technology enhacement" has nothing to do with the speaker and is actually not available when playing music without headphones. And lets be honest, can you really expect studio quality from a cell speaker phone? volume and loudness is one thing and quality is really different.

You're right when saying the speaker sucks but you can't blame beats though, isnt intended to improve the speaker volume or quality
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Gremlins! :o

Read this review on Beats Audio, and let me know what you think.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/13/htc-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio-review/
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
I don't think this fix works in ics. Another member and I tried it and it screwed up the phone. Android phone proces would not load, had to do a clean install.
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
So I re-flashed the ROM without the bravia engine hoping that was the culprit for the disappearing sounds but I was wrong. My entire phone just went into mute again. No ringers, notifications, volume level sounds, speakerphone and I also can't even hear out of the regular speaker unless I pull the battery. Its time to get away from 4.0.3 until this is fixed. I honestly don't think it'll get fixed because me or anyone elses knows whats going on. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I've had read this before, quite a long time ago :D .... and what i tink is what i've wrote in my previous post to you, that i can feel an improvement when beats audio is enabled (using headphones obviously) but i prefer poweramp because i can tweak the eq and get a better outcome.

What i'm trying to say is that this has nothing to do with the speaker phone ... it is crappy, yes, but beats audio wasn't implemented for improving loudness and quality of the speaker.

This is my opinion though .. some people can have different experiences with all this beats thingy

EDIT: i've read somewhere that someone post a fix/workaround to actually increase the volume in non xe roms comparing two files and changing some values but i can't find it right now. That could help you to increase your speaker volume, i'll try my best to find it :D but if anyone have it handy its very much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I understand what you're saying. I sent away for an external speaker for the phone just to test it out. I received it today. The output on the external speaker is just as bad as the internal speaker. This makes me believe that the limitations on the volume alone are the fault of the mainboard (motherboard) on the phone. I always wondered why the sound on my BlackBerry Bold was so good, compared to this phone. But I found out it's all HTC phones that have bad output.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
For the low sound levels, I remember reading a post a while back, I think here on this thread that I forgot to bookmark where someone showed how to modify some .csv files and increase the volume levels but I can't seem to find it now. It was a long day so my search-fu is a bit low I guess. Actually Google is pointing me to a page here on XDA which I think was edited by the author. It looks like the file was tpa2051_cfg_xc.csv, unfortunately Google cache won't show everything. Hmmm.

I think this is the same thing I was thinking about. I remember the change was like 0x50 to 0x55, and 0x56 was too much, it had to be changed on several lines. Checking my phone now for the .csv file above.

Good to know that, one more thing to blame on htc :D i guess is something we have to live with
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Yep, Google just found it for me once I had the filename. Checking the file, it look like Mike has increased the volume levels in ARHD 6.0.2, and I can't say I have any issues with it and haven't really wanted to increase it yet.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
I just went ahead and deleted all my messages and clear data on the Messaging app. Now some contacts show pictures, and some don't. Weird.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
That's right, thanks for the link :D
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I'm doing a comparison from Mike's to this other one.

EDIT: Some of them are different. He has a value of 5A, whereas Mike has it at 56.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I think I flashed the XE ROM last time around so I guess my values are at the XE levels instead of when I saw that thread originally when I was on 3.6.something and the set levels were at the sensation values that I remembered. So yep, they could go up some more. But mine seems pretty good so I might not mess with it again.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Wow...... It actually worked!! It's not my car stereo, but it is definitely a little louder, and clearer than before. That's amazing.......:eek:
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Oh yes, I definitely know that it worked on mine, now he even has a flashable zip which is nice, but I got a bit too much distortion at the higher levels beyond like 58 I think. Plus it uses more battery.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Yup.... I know about the battery drain, but I am using in unison with Volume+. That is simply amazing! I can hear my ringer now! What in gods name is wrong with HTC. I use my phone to play music while I work out at the gym. This is so sweet.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I'm actually able to load YouTube videos a lot better now. Before I didn't even have a chance in hell loading a video on edge network (thats the best signal I Get at work)

No they load and play with hardly any buffering. Thanks mike

I'm mobile right now
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Glad it worked for you, i remember updating those values and having some sort of improvement
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I was actually contemplating taking out the speakers of my Blackberry Bold, and try to find a way to hook them up to this phone. The only thing is the Bold had two speakers. It was true stereo. This phone is in mono. Only one speaker.

Totally amazing! I have the volume up half way, and I can hear it perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
That doesn't sound right. These are still only .png files on ICS.

Try the link in my sig if you still can't see contact pics.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Which settings are you using? Did you flash the mod or change manually the values, im tempted to change them because of your feedback lol
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Follow the link in my sig to contact picture heaven :D
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I used the flashable zip. But I used the SoundBoostICS zip. Not the regular one. It's totally amazing man. I believe it's the 5A on the output that makes it louder. The value 56 is not as loud.

EDIT: I'm loving my MusicBullet now. I just bought this, and I received it today. Playing real nice. https://www.getmusicbullet.com/?refcode=1002&ot=tm
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Not all!

Not all HTC phones have bad output, The Amaze has great clear and loud output and my wifes Sensation is mediocre at best but still workable. She is using the latest stock firmware and seems to be happy with the volume, she'd like the speaker phone to be a bit louder when on conference calls but other from that, she's okay with it. Peace, V :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I went into the Cellphone store after i bought this phone. I wanted to compare other phones volumes compared to this one. I found the Samsung's sound system played louder than the HTC. So did the Motorolas, and the BlackBerry's. I probably would have went with the Samsung had I not bought this one first. But I'm seeing the expansion future of this phone. I'm learning to like it now. I'm ready to install Ubuntu Linux through VNC on this phone. That way I would have a full operating system on it. The expanded SD 32, 48gb makes it possible.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
The volume levels in the ARHD 6.0.2 Non-XE ROM are still set to the default Sensation volume levels. Flashing the XE ROM will increase all your default volume levels to the XE levels which are higher than the Sensation levels so a free volume boost there. :D
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I don't know about that. I installed the XE version. Volume was still low. I just installed this SoundBoostICS zip, and it made a difference. Check it out....

Sent from the land where Pigs fly
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I just checked the Non-XE 6.0.2 ROM and the volume levels are set to the default Sensation levels, which are lower than the XE level, so I do know about that. :D Like I said, on mine when I boosted it beyond the 58 range, I got some distortion. Every speaker is different, so YMMV. :D
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
You got it...

That's exactly what it should look like :)
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Could be also that the XE model has better speakers than the non-XE. I know they are basically the same with a flash of a rom, but there might be something to that.

Ya its not in there. Is this a common bug? Is there any way around it or some sort of fix?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Welp.... At least I wasn't imagining it. I was actually scouring Google looking for the terminal command to hit the switch, but I haven't found it yet. If you have Lookout, or Exchange installed..... I was told to remove them. But it still didn't bring it back on the menu. When I find it, I will let you know.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Elixir2 Admin can do this, Lookout can do this with the Enable Missing Device settings, and MobileIron can do this. Disable the device admin permissions and the menu option will reappear for non-market apps. BTW, Elixir2 also caused personalize force closes for me until I uninstalled it. There are undoubtedly other apps as well, those are the ones I know of.

Also, once you set the non-market app setting as you like, you can re-enable the app with device admin permissions and the settings will hold. You just can't access them.

Has anyone noticed that launching the camera from the unlock screen will always unlock the phone but doesn't always launch the camera application?

For bug reporting - I too get Spanish wifi notifications even though my selected language is English and battery usage always shows 100% for the screen as someone else pointed out earlier today.

HTC Sensation 4G

ARHD 6.0.2 @ 1.2MHz

Mugen Power 1950
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Reinstall the ROM over the top of the current install and choose the 1.2 kernel. You will keep all your apps and settings and homescreens. You will only have to re-flash any mods you have now.

I normally don't ever unlock the phone that way, but I tried it 10 times and it went to camera every time. 3 or 4 times though, it seemed like it started to go into the camera app, then flashed to the homescreen quickly, and then back to camera. Never had Spanish notifications for WiFi either. This last time though, I did not restore any data, I loaded 6.0.2Xe and reconfigured everything without restoring anything at all.
[HTC Sensation] Phantogenic:
Well I flashed the 6.0.2 Rom this morning, runs really well. Titanium backup Pro won't freeze any applications and Friendcaster Pro won't even open, and I can't seem to find any log files to find out what is causing these problems.

The camera shuts down while switching from video to still shot and I can't use any of the built in effects without it shutting down also.

Now I'm guessing most of these problems have already been reported, I'm just +1 to let people know.

As far as the rest of the rom goes - i don't have any problems. But at this stage, I'm going to stick with the 4.1.12 as it does everything I need.

Massive props to the ARHD team, you guys are great. So many people out there who complain and whine about things that are being made voluntarily and given out for free. You should charge people for the honour of running and testing your roms. This stuff is great, I wish they had this stuff when I was at school.

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking to give 6.0.2 a try. I'm running 3.6.12 atm.

Now I know that I need to set Super CID and new firmware.. but what I haven't read is: is the new firmware also compatible with 3.6.12?

I'm asking this as I need to be sure that I can always go back to 3.6.12 when/if the 6.0.2 is unstable...

Sweet thanks, odd that I've had no issues with data/wifi or radio reception since going back.

I am running the wifi kernel fix however.

[HTC Sensation] oFcAsHeEp:
There is really no need to force the second core online... Also, I think the improvements are mostly placebo...

6.0.2 is buttery smooth without any special tweaks anyway...

Oh and "force gpu rendering" in developer options is also a widely misused option, useless because mike already added gpu rendering to the ROM, and activating this only creates problems with certain applications.

My recommendation for new people is not to touch the development options. Really not needed with 6.0.2

I'm gonna link you an article I read a while ago when I'm not mobile... Can't find it now... But basically, forced gpu rendering just uses more memory and creates compatibility problems in 90% of the cases... Very few app can actually use this option.

Not the original link i had in mind but it proves the same point :-)

Hi, I am using 6.0.2 XE rom and have just stumbled upon this exact problem for the first time since using it for about a week, hugely frustrating.

Going to try rebooting the phone and hope it doesn't happen too much between now and the official ICS release, it's either that or revert back to 3.x.x.

This issue along with the lack of A2DP is making it hard to stick with this otherwise awesome rom release. As I understand it though, these are problems inherent with the BETA base and not fixable until the official release.

I used to break stuff. I used to ask a lot of questions. I didn't know what the heck I was doing. Then a guardian angel guided me to the ARHD thread and taught me to embrace something that was invented a long time ago, "reading".

And so I read, and read, and some more.. then followed all the instuctions and BAM! Everythings works fine.

Once I got ARHD on my phone, I didn't see a reason to look somewhere else. It's when you try and combine all kinds of stuff, especially without proper reading before doing so, that you start getting problems with your phone. Find a ROM you like (the one with the longest thread should tell you which one is best) and stick with it. ARHD hands down, by far the best of the lot. Thanks ARHD team for such an outstanding work.
