I've had that too, wait a couple of minutes and it becomes responsive again. But I am most of the time too impatient and just reboot the device haha.

HTC Sensation XL will run ICS too afaik.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
yes it will but we gotta wait for HTC to write HTC sense around ICS. they keep saying early 2012. cant wait!
[HTC Sensation] Jambone:
Well, I have to say, 4.1.7 and Bricked 1.6b1 is definitely the best battery life and less glitchy than faux. I will say that 4.1.7 is not as smooth as 3.6.7, there is some definite lag on unlock screen, accessing menu, and also apps seem more prone to freezing/crashing on launch, overall very nice though.
[HTC Sensation] smartamazing:
Hi guys can you post your best settings for camera of htc sensation please...
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i use the amaze camera mod on auto mode and it works quite well, good colour fill etc. depends on the situation what sort of f/stop, shutter setting, white balance etc you need. but auto on amaze seems to do a good job on all photos.

macro seems to have some issue but if you move the camera away a bit from the subject then zoom it comes out well and more in focus.

Hi

I just installed radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 with the HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ.

I heard that uses less battery and it was working ok before I came to ARHD.

When I update the ROM to 3.6.8, I will need to re-flash the corresponding RIL for my radio, because ARHD comes with a different RIL, isn't it ?

Just want to be sure...

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
That's right,when update comes,there's allso recommended radio to flash,but flash the ROM first and than see I know some useres weach didn't flash the radio and they have rally good performance..
[HTC Sensation] ndavidetnt:
Hi guys! I'm new to sensation, coming from desire hd (an ARHDed desire hd ahahah).

I just have some questions for you:

1-why choose sense 3.5 roms and why sense 3.0? your experience

2-Is overclocking a real benefit (on desire hd I rarely noticed diffference).

3-is there a way to have panorama mode in sense 3.0? (i had on desire hd even I hadn't sense 3.5 nor amaze camera).

thanks in advance for all the answers!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
1: 3.5 newer, nicer,better camera possibilities, leaner original apps - 3.0 a little bit faster

2. YESSS if you play games with the phone, not so much (but still feelable in rosie), if you don't

3. not with stock camera, but with apps

Sooner or later you'll have to go to new base anyways, so if you don't have serious speed requirements (3D-Gaming) you should prefer 3.5 IMHO.
[HTC Sensation] craigspc:
Hello,

I'm a relative noob when it comes to rooting, but after spending the best part of a week reading through all the forums, I finally went ahead with the S-OFF process and installed ARHD a couple of weeks or so ago. I'm pleased to say that ereverything went without a glitch and I'm really happy. The interface is much smoother and I was finally able to make use of OpenVPN (my main reason for wanting to root in the first place)

There is, however, something that doesn't quite make (complete) sense to me:

The instructions for this ROM suggest that you need to install Clockwork Mod, then flash ARHD to the phone via recovery mode. That's fine. However, as soon as you flash ARHD, the recovery 'system' is changed to a new one (EXT4 recovery I think).

I understand that this is normal and I don't have any trouble using it. However, if I want to play with another ROM for a while, what do I do if their instructions also tell me to use Clockwork Mod recovery? Is it safe to ignore this instruction and use EXT4 recovery anyway?

I suppose the confusion comes down to my inability to understand the link between the OS and the recovery mode. I thought that they were two entirely seperate entities and that recovery mode would help if a custom ROM failed. Clearly that was a very dangerious presumption to make.
[HTC Sensation] ein777er:
Hello!

I'm on 3.6.7 with faux final, and there is the voltage table ...

[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Welcome to sensation ARHD!

1 - im on sense 3.5 i like to move with progress, there are some nice little functions on 3.5 which i like over 3.0 and ive got it running nice and smooth. sense 3.0 seems to be smoother for some.

2 - no real benifit unless playing games or doing lots, 1.2 seems to work well for people and keep things nice and smooth. give it a try though and see what works with you.

3 - no not as far as i know..

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Hi, yes this is fine, EXT4 is a replacement of CWM and is slightly better, more options etc. you should be able to find everything you need, however post here if you get stuck :)
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
4EXT is fully compatible with CWM. While it's installed along with the ROM, it will still be available if a custom ROM fails. The two are entirely separate entities, but recovery is simply updated at the same time as the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
No, you are right in principle. CWM and 4ext do the same things. 4ext is another recovery program that is used by the ARHD Team because it's much more powerful than CWM and is programmed by a member of the ARHD-Team. In the OP there is the instruction to flash the ROM in CWM simply because most people have CWM installed on their phone. ARHD then installs 4ext.

The recovery and the ROM are totally different entities. You could remove 4ext from the ROM-zip-file before flashing and you'd be still on CWM afterwards without negative effects. Other way round you can use 4ext recovery with any other ROM around :)
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
As you're all talking about recovery right now: Did CWM allow me to go through the menus with my "hardware" buttons on bottom? Noticed this a couple of days ago in ext4 rec and I really like this.. home "up", menu "down", search "ok" - muuuch better than using vol+ vol- and power for those.. (considering the power button issue as well.....)
[HTC Sensation] The_Worst:
Now with all the CarrierIq stuff hitting the news again, is ARHD free of rootkits? I thought I read somewhere there is a rom that has removed all references but is it ARHD (aswell)?
[HTC Sensation] oFcAsHeEp:
I believe you just made my day...

Yesterday, I was wondering what the "fix permissions" option in 4ext recovery does so I clicked it...long run, did nothing to my system...but now I checked and my pictures were also gone...

Now they're back :D

I was happy with everything finally being in order and working as intended so I really didn't want to reflash AGAIN :)

Thank you sir!

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Exactly! :D

Remembered, thanks a lot :)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
no this function didnt exist with CWM, only with 4EXT, it is a really good function, love it, makes life a lot easier than keep pressing the buttons, and as u say considering the power button issue some have..
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Just wait another few days :D. There's something very, very nice coming in terms of 4ext-recovery (I think :p). Don't wanna tease like Mike, but it's gonna be worth the wait :).
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Can't even remember how often I've clicked "NO" by accident.. - okay, my button clicked it itself.. "by accident" :).

me gusta ext4.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
I've been through the ROM looking for CIQ stuff and I haven't found any trace of it yet. There's certain libraries to look for (.lib files) and they don't appear; neither do any of the running programs.

I don't wanna say "definitely not" because I'm not an expert by any means, but I haven't seen any evidence of it myself.

[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yes but none of that stuff is CIQ, or Carrier IQ. That's the seriously nasty stuff that logs keystrokes (even if they say they don't, there's a video showing that it really does) as well as logging HTTPS communications (because it grabs it before it's encrypted and sent out).

Someone on Slashdot brought up a seriously good point- if CIQ can see/log all input before it's broadcasted out of the device, that means credit cards are not safe, and neither are things like banking etc. It's also a HIPAA (I think that's the right acronym) violation as well, amongst others.
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
:D Don't you start again with 4ext :D

I asked Max in his thread but he wouldn't say nothing :mad:

I don't know who's worst about teasing, Max or Mike...
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
With regards to CIQ, here's the two files that you're looking for:

libiq_client.so

libiq_service.so

They live in /system/lib/

You're also looking for two running applications that have "IQ" in the name, neither of which can be force-closed. I think one of them is HTCIQ<something> and the other starts with IQ.

None of these things exist on ARHD.

This app also purports to find CIQ if it's installed on your device.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well, I can understand Max, though I don't believe somebody could steal from him, he's so far ahead of the crowd. Well I can't tell you that there's gonna be smth new, but I can tell you it's running really nice on my phone :D:D:D. Ooops, sorry...

FC Camera when take photo

Hi!

I hope this hasn't been asked before...

I've 4.1.7 with Faux 0.2.5r

Just suddenly Amaze camera mod starts give me a FC. I can take videos normally but when I am trying to take photo --> after taking photo -> FC.

I tried install mod again and I ran Fix Permissions couple of times without any help.

This worked me very bell at least couple of weeks... Any hints?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Try v7.

some chars
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
CIQ apps and libs are already removed from my ROMs :)
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
:mad: This is much more than teasing.... aahhhrrr
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
I thought as much :)

I also just checked the Desire HD we have for one of the senior people here (totally stock, bought SIM-free a year ago) and there's no trace of CIQ on it either.

I'm beginning to wonder if people are right, that this is US-only. Someone commented that the EU would never allow this, and perhaps they're right.
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Omg the benefits of advanced user status!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Nope, that's strictly personal :D. And it's the other way round. The status comes from that :). Somebody has to find the quirks, lol. Don't ask me how often I removed battery or used 3 fingers in the last weeks. But let's change topics ;).
[HTC Sensation] smartamazing:
Amaze Camera? But Im on ARHD 3.6.7 I think its not compatible with my ROM right?
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Nice. Its thanks to you guys that every release is as stable as rocks

Here in The Netherlands it is confirmed that none of the HTC Phones has CIQ shipped. It's probaly only in the US (with providers Sprint and Verizon).

I'm going to flash a new radio in the morning to see if it makes a difference, but my data connection has sucked since flashing 4.1.7. I never have full signal and even in wifi apps will take 5+ minutes to download. I'm currently running the recommend radio and have tried reflashing it multiple times.

Hi, no problem :)

im using the anker 1900mAH battery and after a day in my pocket, then an evening of use on wifi i tend to be down to about 50% and charge it up overnight. i think it could prob go for a good 24 hours without needing a charge.

im happy with the battery life, doesnt bother me, feels similar to other smart phones.

if you dont have an anker battery i would highly recomend it, it does seem to make a difference!
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
nope,default battery in it...

i'm gonna check it out! ;)

thanks again m8! :)
[HTC Sensation] craigspc:
If you are using ARHD 3.6.x and the standard camera app, you might want to try disabling the Auto Enhance feature in the menu options. This is actually the equivelant of enabling/disabling noise reduction on a standard camera, but on the HTC Sensation - noise reduction can be so great that you could confuse the results with high JPEG compression. This is most visible in High ISO Evening shots without flash, where NR goes into overdive.

As someone that likes photography, one of the first thing I noticed when I bought the Sensation was the image quality. I wasn't overly impressed, so I tried a copy of Camera Zoom FX from the Market to see what difference it would make. The results were notably better and brushed up quite nicely on my PC. However, if you open the standard camera app and disable Auto enhance, the results are literally identical in both apps.

So the issue was Beats related: when I tried to play video using Gallery (from Amaze cam) and headphones there would be a FC. I think Gallery looks for Beats and when it is not there it malfunctions. I installed a Beats mod and now the video will play, although I have opted not to use it as a sound enhancer.

Your battery life is close to amazing...if you use full brightness, and actually USE your phone, not keep it in your pocket with everything turned on and phone in sleep mode...

I never got more than 10 hours of such usage on my stock battery...

And I rarely get such battery life from my ChiChiTec battery...

I'm curious, what are your settings? Could you post a screenshot of your battery usage screen? :)

Considering you're from my country, I'd have figured you got the same quality phone I did...apparently it isn't so :)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Hi, im assuming you meant to quite my answer to his post?

i basically turn my phone on at 6:30am, and it sits in my pocket all day at work, not really used unless im on the throne. email set to update every hour, facebook and weather every 4 hours. get home and im on about 80%

get home and im on xda, brownsing web on and off, some skype calling normal fiddling.

by about 20:00 im down to about 50% ish.

brightness set to auto.

let me know if you want any more specific info.

anker seems to be a really good battery, i cant praise it enough!

[HTC Sensation] mikef:
HIPAA is the medical privacy act. What they could be violating is Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and/or Payment Card Industry (PCI - run by Visa, MC, AMEX, some big banks). PCI violations can get your ability to process credit cards removed and that would be a big blow to a carrier.

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
on your phone you can do the following in terminal

su

then post the last_kmsg off your phone.

(I am sure there is an easier way this is just the way I do it)
[HTC Sensation] pimp1310:
now i use this kernel :

2.6.35.14-sensation-faux123-v0.2.5r+

no, where can i find the file?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yeah that's the one. Obviously I'm not familiar with US laws and stuff =)

I suppose they could violate HIPAA quite easily through monitoring emails about patients etc.

I'm just curious to see how far this blows up- because, by all rights, it should do.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
if you go to the root directory of your phone using es file explorer, then going into a folder called proc

in there theres a file called last.kmsg

so proc/last.kmsg

if you can save that to your SD card, and zip and psot it here we can (try) and tell u the reason for the crash.

note it wont work if you have to pull the battery. if u get a freeze hold down vol buttons and power button to reboot.

HTC Trace not suggesting well/finding words

Has anyone else noticed that HTC Trace seems to be, well, a little dumber? I don't know why on stock it seemed to suggest all sorts of words that were close to what I was typing in, but for some reason when switched to this I have been getting things saying that there are no matches, even when I take the special time to trace slowly.

I did export and import my dictionary and it still seems, dumb. Is there something I might be missing?
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
Yes! I have noticed the same thing. I use to use it exclusively but Trace is almost unusable now.

I installed Swype and it is more intuitive but I hate the keyboard (among other things). I wish we could combine the two somehow.
[HTC Sensation] wingman1487:
Ok, I thought I was loosing it, or something. What could have changed from stock to this ROM that may be causing it to not be as intuative as it was?

I'm with you on Swype, I don't like the keyboard at all, and really did like HTC Trace.
[HTC Sensation] ConviK:
Yes me too, swype buttons are too small on this phone. I like HTC trace because it is good for touch input and swyping but something is wrong.
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I don't know what could have changed that caused Trace to have a stroke. Maybe Mike can put the original back int the rom for us?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
But there is default HTC_IME.apk in my ROM mate, nothing I changed there...
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
That is surprising. Something is definitely different in the way it determines what word you are typing. It use to be relatively accurate and now it is frustrating to use.

Keep up the good work. :)

Edit... Also, trace isn't available in all text entry boxes ( it was before).
