[HTC Sensation] Yorickm:
So, after e few days of ICS on my htc sensation I thought I'd share my thoughts on it;

As I can tell till now, the phone is running stable and even when using GPS for a long time (navigation) the phone still doesn't heat up as it used to be when on ADR 3.6.x, though it is underclocked (1,2GHz, and gpu rendering is on) it works rather well.

Another big plus is: battery life. With ADR 3.6.x i could only make it a day and a half with normal use (music, wifi, mob. network, whatts app etc etc.)

Now with ICS I can easily go without charging for at least 3 days :D

improvements:

- ICS runs stable

- no excessive heating

- battery life improves alot

- wifi and mob. network connects a lot fast and connection is more stable

But, I do have some issues with ICS on my sensation;

- gallery app is not working, despite the 'solutions' I've all tried.

App starts up, sees all the different maps (as in camera shots, photo's, videos, etc.)

But just shuts down before I can do anything. No error message whatsoever.

- Camera isen't working either. Stock version that came with ICS didn't work, installed Amaze camera V7/8. It will start, and for half a second it shows me 'live camera footage' but then just stalls and shuts down --> message: 'Camera has stopped working' .....

- No beats audio mode/icon. Don't hear it to.

- I get from alot of apps the message: App has stopped working. 'Wait' or 'Stop' I can choose between. Either one I choose, app keeps working....

For now all I can come up with.

I do understand this is a pre-release version, so I'm glad ICS is running stable, I can make call, sends SMS/MMS and use mob. netwerk/wifi :D

Don't know if my issues are common among other ICS + sensation users ?

I do hope there are solutions for it, perhaps there are already a few, but I just don't have the time to read all posts up here, as new ones seem to get up here every minute.

Especially the camera app, as it are holidays now I'd love to shoot some photo's/video's of my family and friends :)

If there are, I'd be very thankfull if you can qoute me on that (get a message via mail).

Thank you all,

A very merry christmas and happy newyear to every one!

I installed 5.0.0 / 5.0.1 a couple of days ago and had a number of odd issues like yours and ended up rolling back to 3.6.8. I have just installed 5.0.2 tonight and so far it hasn't skipped a beat - I installed 65 apps that I have used previously and, although I haven't used them all, I haven't see any issues yet.

What I did different was to wipe cache and dalvik and run Superwipe in recovery, then installing 5.0.0, 5.0.1 then 5.0.2 altogether before first boot.

Interesting read (his blog, that is). Can't say I disagree with the guy.

oh sorry I did not think it was a trial I thought it was the updated version 3.6.9 I understand! you're right! then will I communicate so what are the errors that I find installing this rom! Mike & Co helping to work the best!
[HTC Sensation] djigane:
Really love 5.0.2, will stay on it until next update.

Found another little (very little bug) : can't access to the weather apps parameters.

When you press on the app, it close itself after few seconds (but the widget is working on the home screen).

Hope we will soon have mods like APM, Rosie 6x5, UOT, etc.

i try to use faceunlock but it seems after i set it up, the battery drain is fast, and got weather is not responding, htc.bgp not responding. right now when try to wake up, the screen is blank with showing time, battery (at the top), i still can slide down notification..:(
[HTC Sensation] ukjm2k:
Ditto!

My "up time" mode is almost as high as the "wake", around 80% or so, even though my actual wake time is closer to something like 20%...

How do we counter this wake battery drain?

I suspect it has something to do with WiFi sleep policy. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] brutusss:
Exactly, this occurs only when WiFi is on and connected, at least in my case :)
[HTC Sensation] ukjm2k:
I will turn WiFi off for now and only switch it on when needed.

Not a good solution, but dont know of any better. :(

So a quick question in case we cannot buy system tuner pro and force the CPU1 ON

is there anything else we can do? Any advice on as to how to force both cpu-s online?
[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
That's difficult to say on such short notice.

My experience: after the first 48h (and a well timed batter stats wipe) battery life is at least acceptable since I get past the 24h mark with moderate use which in my case includes reading on it for +-90' and watching video for +-30', mailcheck every 10', listening to music with cabled headset for about one albums length, wi-fi constantly on and connected, no bluetooth, no gps, constant radio reception, playing a game for 15', no weather, no stock, apart from agenda no widgets, sense otherwise intact ... juicedefender installed and battery mix installed to sniff out misbehaving apps.

Whenever you want to really evaluate a ROMs energy consumption, you will need to see it through a few cycles and ignore the first day.

best regards

you might have same issue as me, if u connect say laptop via bluetooth the media server keeps the phone awake. and u cant disable media in bluetooth. still got 14 hrs yest out of phone.

So just not leaving laptop connected at min
[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
:-) It is normal that most users post about the problems they are having. So I'll join your effort and post more on the positive experience of the 5.0.x ROM.

Even though I don't have your execellent battery life. It runs fine.

GPU rendering is incompatible with a few apps. In my case I've switched the 'forceing option' off again. There is a small lag to pay for when starting something, but not while scrolling. It is noticeable.

HTC Gallery as well as AOSP gallery work perfectly for me. I've tried all functions that I could see in the menu. I've assigned pictures to contacts from the people app as well as from the AOSP gallery

Beats: I'm under the impression that I hear the beats enhancement on my XE. I was switching between ARHD 4.1.8 and MIUI just before installing 5.0.x so my ear definitely hears a major difference to the non-enhanced sound on MIUI (=without tuning DSP manager). True, the icon is not there.

Plus, when listening to music in HTC music and picking "Disable Beats Audio" under menu/Sound Enhancer I definitely lose the punch, depth and everything else that made me buy an XE. :-)

When I try to do the equivalent in AOSP music, then I suspect beats is not used/active no matter what sound enhancement options I pick.

Funny: when recording a video while my headset is plugged in I get a (huge) beats notification icon :-).

I had a few apps that won't work with 5.0.x regardless of the state of forced GPU rendering. CamCard is the only one I remember.

Camera itself works correctly in every way that I can think of.

Would you happen to know exactly which values to change in the build.prop so that my phone appears as a sensation 4g? Xe breaks order and chaos.
[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
I've just tested with a 1080p file and no forced GPU rendering:

1. Smooth playback in moboplayer, es mediaplayer, AOSP view video and Sense view video.

2. Zooming as smooth as thinkable.

3. There might be a minuscule lag before playback starts. If any I can state it's less than a third of second (because that would be a reasonable error in reaction time when using a stopwatch).

I've done the same with forced GPU rendering and I don't see any difference.

Edit: MoboPlayer shows it's "Hard Decoding" in both cases, so that explains the lack of difference there. I wouldn't know how to check that in the default video playback apps. But is should be the same case since the setting in build.prop should enforce it.

At first, Happy Holidays! I hope that you are happy as we are with your work!

I just installed 3.6.9, coming from LeeDroid. I did the super wipe, format data, system, chace, davlik and everything. Complete clean install. I am using the default kernel and recommended radios. (I even tried different radios)

I havent installed any app except facebook and whatsapp.

I have few questions.

- Can I use SetCPU to underclock my processor to 1Ghz? I really dont need 1.5 or 1.2, but I need extended battery life. Will this conflict with the Deamon Controller? I tried reading about it but I did not get it.

- My phone is overheating. Just on this ROM. Whatever I do, even if I just turn the display on and not do anything on it. Its most worm in the down right corner if display is face up.

- My battery drain is huge, I lose something like 10% on hour just by leaving my phone sit on my desk. I hope this will get better by time with the battery callibration script.
[HTC Sensation] yongwk:
Anyone has any mirror the the roms?

When you first install a Rom the drain will be high just give it a few cycles and you will see the difference.

You need a custom kernel in order to manipulate your CPU. Check out the list in the op

There's an option to have the WiFi stay on while sleeping ONLY if it's plugged in. It turns off WiFi if you're phone is sleeping and not plugged in. That's what I'm using and it works well.

Go to your system settings, open up your WiFi (where it shows all the available networks), hit menu, then go to advanced. Change the sleep policy to the middle one. Definitely saves power.

You also may want to look at the build prop tweaks thread.

5.02

Hi,

Just to recap the issues I'm facing off until now :

1) scroll a lot better but not fluid

2) cannot add a new number to an existing contact

3) gallery used from other apps just FC

4) browser engine buggy : try to load desktop facebook and show your messages ...layers are not handled in a right way hopefully 4.03 may be better

5) using exchange give FC to the security setting

6) desktop shortcuts cannot be changed to avoid random FC of desktop

7) volume very weak ( flashable zip to increase the volume on sensation seems to work but add too many basses)

Not talking about bars. I'm talking about in settings under battery. I rarely ever got green before and now it's almost continuosly green. Maybe it's just making my phone THINK it has a perfect signal which is fine with me cause it's saving my battery BIG time.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
After seeing the posts from others on the ICS version, I think my battery drain issue is tied to my heavy use of wifi. Anytime wifi is available and I plan on being there for a while, I switch on both airplane mode and wifi. I don't want wifi to turn off when the phone sleeps/screen-off, because I depend on emails and my company depends on me responding to them promptly.

Just my theory, but I did give it over 2 full cycles and saw zero improvement. I'm really excited at how fast Mike is moving on this new leak though. For now, 4.1.9 + faux123 0.2.8 is my daily driver as I can get a full day driving it.

Just have a question for custom kernel. I'm now running ARHD 3.6.8 on my HTC Sensation and it says Android 2.3.4 with 1.73.401.2. In the first post:

Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) - latest official HTC RUU 1.73.401.2

This might be sound stupid but I never changed kernel and I do not want to end up with a bricked device so I go down the first post to 'Downloads' and I click on 'Custom Kernel Section'.

Ending up here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16419842#post16419842

Then at the HTC Sensation / HTC Sensation 4G / HTC Sensation XE header there are all different versions of kernels and behind that there are descriptions as for example:

For 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4)

or

For 1.35.401.1 (Android 2.3.3)

.

But none of them is saying: '

For 1.73.401.2 (Android 2.3.4)

'

I assume this means that the kernel will

replace

this to the version which is underlined in the description in the custom kernel section? (So actually downgrade it from the default 1.73.401.2 to for example 1.45.401.2?)

I just don't wanna end up with a bricked device or something :)

Well as long as you use a kernel for "Sense ROM" than you will be alright.

But if you want to use ROM like CM7(Cynogenmod 7) or AOSP(Android Open Source Project) based rom than you will need "CM7" tagged kernels.

If you want to change the kernel for your current rom you can use

[Kernel]HTC Stock[2.6.35.14](v0.2.7r)OC~1.73GHz/UV/SLQB/ZRAM/Power Saving[Dec-17]

or

[KERNEL][NOV.04]Bricked-Kernel|2.6.35.14|v1.5|OC@1914/192|3DFIX|BATTSAVER|ZRAM|CCACHE

I used both and I'm now using faux123's kernel(which is on the first link). It is up to you. Hope this helps.

The RUU version doesn't equal the kernel version. RUU is ROM Update Utility and is a way for carriers / manufacturers to deliver ROMs in an executable package that Joe Public can run with no real knowledge of how it works.

If you are on 3.6.8, then you have a custom kernel already - can't remember the version but it is developed by Faux123. Unless there is some specific feature you need or you are having problems with performance or power, it may well be worth staying on that. Having said that, flashing a kernel is easy enough (just make sure you check the MD5 checksum first).
