battery

what do u guys have for standby drain. using 3.6.4 and faux 123 v16.

and what are your settings regarding power.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Of course it's qHD.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I will check it.
[HTC Sensation] gibbs1984:
I cant' get my mA down to zero, it's at 100% now and it's at 363mA, it was on charge all night, woke up and it was on 80mA, should I just do the battery recalibration anyway?

I'm now running the Bricked v1.4r1 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Okay, sort of fixed it. Also cleared the entry in superuser, and reassigned root access and now it's working again.
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
hmmm, is there a setting or something that I missed? My wallpaper is different (same photo) in the XE vs non-XE ROM as well as everything else looks bigger.
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
This may be a silly question but I need to know.

How do I know which RIL I'm using? I only ask because I just flashed the 10.56_10.14 radio back on my phone. I wanted to know if I need to flash a new RIL too. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I'll do it once, while this is a question for Q&A Forum, not ROM related :rolleyes:.

There are different kernels that can be used with your phone. Different programmers have made custom kernels. Mike uses the Faux-Kernels in his ROMs. Another often used Kernel is Bricked Kernel, yet another one Unity Kernel. They have their own threads here in Sensation development area, as has Faux. You can download either kernel there and flash it like you flash Roms. So, to be short: A kernel is part of the ROM, but can be changed individually. But every ROM Flash will bring back the Kernel that is chosen by the ROM-Cook.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

If you haven't changed it, you are having the RIL that belongs to the radio that was recommended by the ROM-Cook, cause he has integrated the corresponding RIL in the ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

If you mean the 4.1.x ROMS with "non-XE" ROM, then yes, Sense 3.5 shows a little larger graphical elements than Sense 3.0 in the XE-ROM and the wallpaper is cropped differently. If you meant Stock Sensation ROM with "non-XE", then NO, it shows the same sizes as Mikes XE-ROM.

There isn't even a possibility to change that (or the resolution) for the user AFAIK.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Actually, after v1.41r, working great, there's also a "v1.45 test #427" that is compatible with Sense 3.0 ROMs. This one is not in the OP, read about the 5 last pages of his thread.

It's stable and a little more powerful than 0.91 !!!

But I found the included kernel from Faux123 stable too, not sure I used the camera with it, but for the rest, it was better than his previous beta.
[HTC Sensation] Neowilson:
Thanks mate.

:eek: dang HTC. Was thinking of buying the XE for 3 things - improved CPU (which is not really a big different to begin with), the slight visual changes (red) and the earphones. Not really a fan of Dr Dre but combined with the above 2, I was inclined to buy the XE for $100 more expensive :rolleyes:

Guess I have to think again :P
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Last kernel means, that I used the one included in 4.1.5 by default. If I don't state anything I mean I did not change anything, that would be the "reasonable" way to understand my posting, but thanks for your useless criticism. :)

But seems like drain is still there. Last 4 hours took me ~20% at 1.2GHz and .23 new kernel from today, ondemand. 4.1.5 still using.
[HTC Sensation] guyd:
If you are using the 10.56_10.14 radio (as am I) then you should flash the matched 169 RIL. Search for it. You will find a nice thread with all the RIL's for download.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
When you flashed the new kernel today, you really can't judge its battery drain before at least letting it charge/discharge 2 times. And at least once charge to 100%.
[HTC Sensation] avi018:
I'm having a weird problem :( everything works perfectly but I cant see any icons on the lockscreen. also when I select any clock lockscreen its not coming. all i can see is the metal ring and the wallpaper. can u tell me whats wrong ?? I have full wiped and installed the 3.6.4.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Did you check lockscreen settings to show the icons?
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
running bricked v1.4r1 and It has tamed the battery chomp that is occurring with faux. It is very smooth
[HTC Sensation] gibbs1984:
I had that problem on 3.6.3, the only way I could fix it (with some awesome help from the forum) was to do a Super Wipe, Flash the ROM again, and then install all my apps again and not restore any data, or at least any system data.

Basically the lockscreen icons were there and when I restored the data they disappeared.
[HTC Sensation] avi018:
yes i have :( using titanium backup i came from 3.6.2 to 3.6.4. restored missing apps+system data, is that the issue ? is there any way to solve :( ?
[HTC Sensation] gibbs1984:
Well, I must admit I did go to the extreme and started again from scratch but the problem did happen everytime I restored my back up through Titanium.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is your problem.

You restored your old system data on your new system.

You can restore apps plus data, but not system data.

Wipe everything and start again.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I already wrote that more than once: Do never restore data of system apps after flashing. The system app might be changed with the flash and the data don't fit the new app which results in errors. You can restore market apps/installed apks with their data, cause here the data fit the apps, but never system apps-data. ;)

Additionally it's very hard to trace the reason for the error then, cause the restore of the data is often the last thing you think about when you search for it.

Now its back to start, reflash, and NOT restore system data. :o
[HTC Sensation] izark201:
Flashed 3.6.4 with the latest faux kernel 0.2.3_r2. Everything runs smoothly and battery is awesome. The only problem is that if the phone went into sleep while in camera mode, it would freeze and cannot wake up. Needed to remove the battery in order to fix. There was a previous post on this issue, but with 4.1.5. Any idea on how/what to fix?
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Well the mA drainage measured by BMW should be correct anyway as I don't really think it's depending on any "cycles".. Anyways, the phone was fully charged at the very moment when I flashed the kernel. :)
[HTC Sensation] avi018:
thank u doing that . is there any way to use amaze camera in 3.6.4 ?? amaze camera is awesome, used it with sense 3.5

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

this is the first time i faced this problem , every time i restore with titanium , it is a lifesaver.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

As far as I know, amaze camera is only available for sense 3.5.

:)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Yup, it's a problem. My solution (really a workaround, but effective) is to use Keep Screen (free app from the Market) to prevent camera from going to sleep.

You have to set Camera in Keep Screen settings as a controlled application.

P.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Not looking for a slapfest, but again, how does anybody know you're on 4.1.5 with included kernel?

I'm getting good battery, but some weird reporting. Best course of action is probably to charge to 100%, wipe battery stats and monitor usage after that. Faux has some power management that could be messing up reporting until a recalibration.

P
[HTC Sensation] wallendiaz:
Dayum my phone gets so warm that I can't hold in my hand, I'm using 3.6.4, anyone has any idea about this???? :S
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
You have to know how mike's autocalibrating works to understand what I mean: After flashing the ROM there runs a script that checks in periods whether the battery is at 100% (and here really full, not only 100% in display). Then the script calibrates the battery by deleting the battery stats and stops running. So, even when you had a "rather" full battery at the moment of flashing, after flashing its not "totally" full (you get what I mean?). Thus the autocalibration does not take place and the battery readings are not absolutely correct for whatever application until the next 100% loading cycle. That is also the reason why they say you should let the phone on the charger for some additional time after reaching 100%, cause it's not yet totally full when it shows 100%. You can see that with the battery calibration app.

But this of course must not mean that the kernel would not have a high drain (it has in my opinion too, that's why i dumped it). I just wanted to say that a fair judgement is not possible after such short time.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
3.6.4 is great so far

Battery life seems good, I was able to get past the video recording problem with the new Faux123 .23r2 kernel. The only issue is the game Tank Hero from the market force closes immediately upon starting.

"The application Tank Hero (process com.clapfootgames.tankhero) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

It worked fine under all prior ARHD version from 3.1 through 3.6.2. I tried clearing the data, uninstall/reinstall, no luck. Using the all in one mod from 02CWRX and the SmallFonts mod from VladNosferatu. Not a big deal, just a fun quick game if I have a few minutes of free time so I have uninstalled for now. Maybe they will put out a new update for it sometime soon.

Thanks to the ARHD team for another great ROM!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Flash bricked kernel 0.9.1 its by far the best kernel for sense 3.0 trust me
[HTC Sensation] frans-jan:
so why doesn't mike use it?
[HTC Sensation] shadowillusions:
I'm getting random reboots since 3.6.4 (up to 6 times a day!!!)

Going back to 3.6.3 with faux 0.22.

Brilliant rom by the way :D

p.s. my sensation became very warm when i was visiting heavy websites with flash banners and such. I never had that before with this rom.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
This is a loooong story.

Let's put it this way: Mike and show-p (the programmer of bricked) will not become close buddies in the overseeable future. :D:D:D.

If you look on the OP of bricked thread you can get the impression that show-p is a bit of a controversial type of guy (though in my opinion his kernels are unsurpassed atm). So it's not always on the base of quality that such decisions are made (though mike and many others really feel faux kernel is the best as he states).

But we users are of course free to choose.
[HTC Sensation] frans-jan:
I understand
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You're free to use whatever you want. There have been some issues going on between faux and show and mike decided to include faux's kernel in his work and honestly i don't think he will switch to bricked that's why its "recommended kernel" not "mandatory kernel" so its up to you.

My advice is after trying loads of different kernels for me the best match with sense 3.0 roms has been bricked 0.9.1 ... just saying
[HTC Sensation] frans-jan:
lets try it then. but which one, I see two. 1 normal? 2 with gpu 320?

sorry if I sound stupid
[HTC Sensation] PJTOUCHHD:
I had this a couple of times in past - i got around it by going into 'Apps', find the 'Setup' app and run it, go through the setup stages and it should return - did for me anyway.

Like to know if this works for you.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I'd try the normal one.

But one additional advice: You better stop posting those non ROM related questions here. You have to ask them on bricked thread. This isn't a kernel thread and absolutely no "bricked kernel thread " ;).

Really those are the kind of questions for which the "sensation Q&A" area is made (or the thread of the product you want to ask about).
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
That's an excellent explantion! It's all clear to me now, thanks.

I'll try the recommanded kernel and see if the battery gets better.. If not I'll decide what to do then! ;)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
It's been said many times before, but I guess now is a good time to say it again.

New ROM and/or new kernel needs some time to settle in. Battery may drain oddly, phone may run warm. It has to do with battery reporting.

You can't actually know what is going on until you've been through at least a couple of battery cycles.

Every time you decide you're not happy after a few minutes (or hours) and flash another ROM and/or kernel, you're going back to square one. It is self-defeating.

P.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
This is so true!!
[HTC Sensation] bongie1:
Guys I have a really strange problem. I flash 3.6.4 and then rom cleaner. Everything is ok except that I don't have the people widget. Is there someone else with the same problem?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Maybe you removed it with ROM cleaner?
[HTC Sensation] cozmosland:
So im also now noticing a battery drain for no reason except its displaying a very low ma usage.. :S

3.6.4
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Did you use your own usertext file or standard one?

The supplied one does eliminate most of the sense widgets.

You can restore it from Titanium (if you have a backup), or you can reflash ROM and ROMCleaner script after editing the usertext file. Full instructions are in the ROMCleaner thread.

P.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
Well looks like were all having battery drain issues with this rom or kernel. I fully charged my phone last night and left it for 9 hours and it lost 28% doing absolutely nothing (no sync, wifi, gps, etc.). Giving bricked v1.4r1 a try now, if not then trying v0.91 like people recommended, then last resort switch roms
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well it won't come to the last resort cause it's not a ROM Problem. But don't forget the post about 7 above yours: After each Kernel change it takes about 2-3 full charging cycles until you get the true drain-level (though with bricked you'll have much less drain from the beginning, gonna post some graphics showing that tomorrow)
[HTC Sensation] sp5it:
It sucks battery like a mad.

Mike
[HTC Sensation] frans-jan:

[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
im all for progression and change and moving forward but i reverted to XE base and it's just so damn much faster... less features but better Beats mods... im gonna stay for awhile it will be alot better when we get an official optimized from HTC since our beloved dev doesnt actually mess with hardcode to optimize the ROM on that level... thanks for what you do Mike once again...

[HTC Sensation] ataf:
Since 3.6.4 I can cook eggs on my device

Battery life is horrible

I will use bricked kernel with this rom, faux kernel is unbalanced everytime
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you look on the last about 50 posts, you'll see that this issue is already posted about 20 times. There are some suggested solutions. It's really not necessary to report the same issue over and over again.

Battery Life

Has anyone noticed a SHARP decline in battery life after updating to 3.6.4? I've been busy working all weekend and have hardly touched my phone. With display time of only 6 minutes my battery is down to 23% in 20hours :eek:

I did the usual battery calibrating, erasing battery stats, etc, but still seems to be the same heavy drain in standby.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Nearly everybody has noticed that. Just read the last pages. Seems to be Kernel related. Try Unity or Bricked or another Faux kernel. The kernel in this ROM-version seems to eat battery.
[HTC Sensation] wallendiaz:
Dammm!!!! now I can fry a steak on my phone, is super warm, I will install bricked kernel and do a test, I can't toch my phone now.

[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
What I did was rename the new file to 1SystemUI.apk on the storage card. Then using root explorer copy the file to /system/apps. You have to make sure you are in R/W mode. Then change the permissions on the new file by longpressing and select permissions. Set the permissions the same as the original file. Now go and rename the original file to org-SystemUI.apk. You will get a force close but you should be able to still continue. Then rename the new file to SystemUI.apk and then power off the phone. Power back on and you are done.
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
if you guys get it to work or u know how to make it work id love you guys dont the like E G H.

EDIT: nvm my question is answered
[HTC Sensation] triStateMindgate:
It's actually a little over that. The ROM is so fast it actually travels back in time. But if you we're to explain it simply as a number in quadrant, you'd get a number reminiscent of 22 divided by 7 ......
