6.6.2 Update problems

Just want to say thanks to the team for awesome roms! I just updated my phone from 6.5.1 to 6.6.2. 6.5.1 worked perfectly but since the update my internet is slow and my phone does not want to recieve all the calls everything takes long to load like webpages. I tried going back to 6.5.1 but no luck. I also flashed the newest sebastian kernel 1.4.1. Nothing wants to improve the situation. I am thinking of doing a sim swop maybe it is the sime card but i have tried 2 sims and both do the same!

Can anyone please advise me or give me some advice on what can be the problem? Will really appreciate it!

Thank you!

U can but best move is to backup important stuff, photos, music etc and format it then put your stuff back on. Basically just to remove the android folders created by the sensation to be safe from any potential issues.

Enjoy the one x :D
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Upgrading without superwipe should *generally* be ok, but I would suggest doing the superwipe and fresh install with these types of issues. Obviously make a nand backup first, you can use SMS Backup and Restore to save your messages, Titanium Backup for Apps and App Data ONLY, no system data.

Ever try to play it on the sensation?
[HTC Sensation] mhkritzinger:
Thanks for the reply! I did do a clean install by using superwipe. Installed the new firmware patch as described in the guide.

Sorry if this has been mentioned. I can't send mms with 6.6.2

Any ideas?

[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
the point of tweaking

Hello,

Unless you love tweaking for the sake of tweaking, you should start from what you need.

From your post it is obvious that you are already satisfied with the speed, stability and battery life of ARHD6.* regardless of which kernel you use. You are however looking for better reception and network connections.

To me it would seem like a good idea to focus on radio choices first using stock kernel and check the respective custom kernel threads to look for posts on impact on radio behaviour. If you find one that has been optimized for a specific radio, try it out. Otherwise you can ignore kernels.

For me personally ARHD6.* has passed my expectations some versions ago. Everything works, nothing crashes (unless with beta kernels). I need to use my phone quite artificially to stress test, because my daily usage is so 'normal' that I am fully satisfied. Speed is faster than what I require, battery life is better than what I need. 40hrs instead of 33hrs still means I have to charge it every day.

We're lucky :-)

thx Mike
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Mine worked fine with the 8g SD that came with it. Did you format the smaller card in the phone first?
[HTC Sensation] steve36:
cant format it in the phone the phone doesnt c it mate at all
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
format it to fat32 on your pc
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you can't even see it through recovery mode then I guess I would have to agree with hdjx20 and suggest formatting it FAT32 with the PC, but if recovery won't even see it then I would suspect that SD to be bad. Worth a try though... :D
[HTC Sensation] ijob:
I have yes, the settings are all there and have worked previously.

[HTC Sensation] PeaterG:
even if you fall flat on your face you are still moving forwards...

Is there a thread I can look at about this mod?

Yeh man - thanx team ARHD!

I have been getting the same laggy response and even the dreaded touchscreen problems since about 6.5.x - Have tried other kernels - things improve for the first 20-40 hours and then the bugs come back...

I am seriously curious - why not backup some sys data with Ti-Backup?

I wanna keep all my wifi passwords and mail accounts and sense desktops - serious ball ache to redo all of this stuff - whats the problem with restoring a ti-backup of these items?

...I have downloaded ARHD 6.6.2 tonight, verified the MD5 checksum, will be swapping out the battery for the one i have fully charged when I get home and superwiping and flashing...think I will stick with the Seb kernel incl. in 6.6.2 and see how I go...

Thanks in advance ;)

Thankyou for the hard work, without dev's I would be stuck in the land of gingerbread still!
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
Which sys data is the desktops?

A very nice posting from my ARHD XE
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Restoring system data can cause serious issues. The data belong to apps that are (or might be) exchanged by the rom update. So those data may not be totally compatible with the updated apps and therefore produce unpredictable results.

If you want to keep wifi settings and mail accounts, you should consider using ROM-Cleaner (Link in 2nd Post). It can backup your settings before flashing and reinsert them automatically (NOT restoring, but simulating new entry) after flashing. Also Sense settings as far as that is possible. Widgets are not totally restorable, neither with TB nor with any other tool.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I don't know the original post for that, sorry, it was yungyeh that compiled it from several other mods.

You can feel free to back up system data with TB, however little but headaches will come from restoring it. I know exactly what a pain it is to set that stuff back up from scratch having done it many times, and it is painful but preferable to fighting a ROM that is acting funky due to the restored system data. Go ahead and try it if you wish, you might have better luck than most people but relief will be just a wipe and reflash away.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Bookmarked and added next to the missing unknown sources answer :D

Also my battery life sucks when I play games all day and when are we getting sense 4?

Would you mind adding the possibility to flash Bricked kernel by show-p1984

Don't think this will happen anytime soon...Make a Nand, then flash kernel separately. Just make sure u install stock kernel first when flashing ROM for the first time.

HEYYYY!!!!! Right! The other games didn't do this for me !

I started playing the game, everything was fine, then suddenly, the bug occured!

Worse=> going back to my home screen, I saw the bug was still there! Even APM to reboot the phone was messy

I tried to play Samourai II longer, to see if playing long could make the bug happen, but no, it didn't

Nice joke from HTC with their 2.3.4 OTA ???

O/C Daemon

Hi mike, since i used youre ARHD-1.17 for the Sensation i'll never miss again this fabulous O/C Daemon!

But i upgraded to 1.1.8 and there i missed it, it was not anymore included in your rom. Now i thought in your new 2.1.0 this should be fixed, but still no O/C Daemon and no folder called virtuous_oc in /system/etc/....:(

Can u help me...?

Installing O/C Daemon app and flashing frequencies-pack does not work as well...
[HTC Sensation] joshua:
ROM version 1.1.8 and 2.1.0 are build with stock kernel...

tats y installing OC Daemon app doesnt work...

u need to flash a custom rom to have the ability to OC...

Cheers mate
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
There is no OC for 2.1.0 by default mate.
[HTC Sensation] jonasPR:
so i just should flash an other kernel, right?

and then install O/C Daemon App & Scripts...?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Nope :) For now wait until I update kernels section :)
[HTC Sensation] jonasPR:
ok...thx to you mate...! :-)

[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Do a back up and try his kernel...

The self proclaimed best dev placed a comment on his thread about he fixing something bec mike didnt do it properly... Supposedly.... So i suggest do a backup and try his kernel
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
In this case that is good advice since the report that is produced is huge and not as helpful as targeted troubleshooting. This is something that TMO or HTC support might ask you to do and send in if you called in with a problem so one of their second level people can search that report without having to go back to you for any other info.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Guys when is sense 4.0 coming?

And why my battery lasts only 5hrs?

:D

But seriously, I'm frustrated.

With every kernel I've tried, I've experienced issues. Sometimes I only get a "Process System is not responding" message on boot (which usually goes away but I know it shouldn't be there and that bugs the hell out of me), other times it's the same message followed by a reboot in the next one to two minutes. This happens every time, with faux and sebastianFM kernel (the ones included on every rom release), even when I underclocked to 1.2GHz-1GHz. I also got no last_kmsg or no other indication on what exactly was causing this.

I flashed the rom again with stock kernel and no mods and then began flashing and testing my mods one by one. Everything is ok for now, so that probably means it was the kernel/kernels which caused this. With the stock kernel everything is superb, nice speed, smoothness and battery life (even without waiting for 4-5 full circles), plus I finally set up my device the way I wanted.

I'm kinda reluctant to begin testing again, so I'm not going to try any newer/different custom kernels for now. But for the sake of argument I know that every device acts different, so:

a) is it possible that my device just doesn't like those/custom kernels? Emphasis on "my device", I'm not dissing the kernels, I know they're top notch ;)

b) anyone else experiencing similar issues with every kernel except the stock one?

The only issue I have with stock kernel is that sense freezes on boot while loading the apps stored in SD. And by "freezes" I mean just the clock, somehow the system ui is fully functional, I can switch between homescreens, go to sense settings etc, just the clock loses one to two minutes and then catches up.

But I guess that's normal with 90 apps stored to sd :)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Maybe your device doesn't tolerate overclocking. If you try one of the customer kernels, clock it down to 1.18 or so which is what the stock kernel should be giving you on a nonXE device. Edit: Doh! Sorry, just re-read your post and realized that you had already tried as I suggested. Sorry. :o 90 apps to SD? that might be causing some lag and issues.
[HTC Sensation] Big-O:
This latest update is very nice, my only issue is I don't see "unknown sources" in the security menu, which means no side loading apps...
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Don't worry man :)

Yeah I tend to keep a lot of apps (there's probably a psychology disorder with my name somewhere) and the only way to do so is to push some of them to sd. I get a lot of lag on boot, but since I reboot once a week or so that's fine with me :D

BTW, this also happens with just 70-80 apps installed, so we can cross the number of apps off the "dafuq is going on" list :D

There's a mod to enable unknown sources on OP, try this.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
You have an app using device admin permissions. That removes the option for unknown sources from the security menu. Here is the list I have been building up.

Screen Off FX can be run as an application instead of a widget to avoid the device admin permissions, takes a little longer to turn the screen off.

Elixir2 Admin needs device admin for the same reason, to use the screen off widget. Can't get around it there.

Probably any type of screen off app needs that permission.

Lookout can be used without device admin by avoiding the extra missing device settings.

Mobile Iron seems to require device admin. Might depend on the settings from the administrator of the MobileIron system.

Exchange can require device admin depending on the settings picked by your Exchange admin.

Got-Ya! seems to require Device Admin to activate the camera remotely.

70-80 installed, or moved to the SD? Are all these apps designed to run from the SD? On the Sensation generally apps that can run from SD will install there, so if the app doesn't go there automatically there is a fair chance that it wasn't.

How many apps do you have? I have 75 now and none are on the SD and I still have almost 500 megs free for more apps.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
On device, while testing I installed a about 100 apps after the first boot, removed (uninstalled, not moved to memory) those which automatically went on SD and then rebooted. BAM, "process system decided to troll you" message and then reboot.

All of those apps worked without issue on GB and were downloaded from market (not restored, all working on ICS). Plus, if something was wrong with an app or the number of apps, I think they would keep generating issues even with stock kernel, right?

I've got about 240 apps. Even now, I get no issues, I used to reboot every +10 apps just for testing. Hell, on my DHD I went up to 450 apps with no problem whatsoever :D

(yeah, I'm one of the few out there who suffer from compulsive application hoarding :D)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Well, you have done everything so far I was going to suggest, except maybe for ROM Cleaner :confused: Have you tried it? Maybe cleaning out some of the bloatware might help?
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
I thought about it, but seems to complicated for me :)Gonna give it a go when I have a lot of time to experiment :D
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It is actually pretty straightforward, but normally really needs to be done immediately following the ROM flash before the first reboot.

First you download and flash the latest FolderCreator.zip through recovery, which only has to be done once then you can delete the FolderCreator.zip file. Copy the latest ROMCleaner.zip to the root of your SD.

Then you download the posted romcleaner_user.txt file Patrics has posted on their thread, and edit it with Notepad++ so as to not mess the Unix formatting.

All you have to do is add the # sign in front of apps/widgets/etc... you want to keep, and remove the # sign in front of apps/widgets/etc... you don't want to keep. Most of the "bloatware" stuff is probably already set without the # protecting them from deletion. Save the file, and copy it to the /ROMCleaner folder on the SD card.

I can superwipe, flash the ROM, flash ROMCleaner.zip, go through first boot and make sure to sign into Google during that sequence so your apps get auto-reinstalled by Google, restore app data on games and such using TB, restore SMS messages using SMS Backup and Restore, then set up home screens in about an hour generally.

Now, they do have some other cool utilities for backup and restore of settings, one-step mod install, but you can use ROM Cleaner without all of the rest.

Forgot to mention, if I flash a ROM update like 6.6.2 without superwipe, I just flash ROM Cleaner right after ROM flash using the same romcleaner_user.txt file without changes to avoid potential Sense issues.

Thanks,
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
A Titanium Backup of system data is always a good idea, even if you never actually do a full restore, which would be bad.

You can individually restore bits, and I've noticed a handful of them are listed in green rather than red with a Titanium icon. These always seem safe to restore.

The ones I always restore after a superwipe, with no bad effects ever, are:

Bluetooth Pairings

Contacts

SMS Dialer Storage

Internet Bookmarks

SMS Messages

Bluetooth Settings

User Dictionary

Wifi Access Points

It's just so much more convenient to restore all these in one go from TB.
[HTC Sensation] DrAgKurt:
yes, you can. no need to do something. :)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:

What is a differences between kernels from 6.6.2 ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Stock is well stock

Sebs kernel is a hacked version of stock, so closer to stock.

Faux's uses latest linux kernel rebuilt from the source code. so newest with newest tech but potentially less stable. that said ive had no issues with faux.

hope this helps :)

faux and sebs can both go up to higher clock speeds. for me i like fauxs feels smoother and he does quite regular updates. give each a try and see which feels better for u :)

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

i disagree, ive had best battery life with Faux
[HTC Sensation] Zer0r:
I disagree also. Battery life is much better on faux due to turning off second core and reducing first core frequency while in sleep mode. Consumption on faux in stand-by mode with wi-fi off is less than 10mA (accordingly to Battery Monitor Widget).

[HTC Sensation] huy_lonewolf:
Personally, I don't trust the battery reading on the Sensation, it has the most broken battery reading system I have ever seen. For instance, restarting the phone alone can create fluctuations in battery percentage. However, what bugs me most is its unequal distribution of battery percentages: it takes me around half an hour of listening to music to get the battery to drop from 100% to 99%, but a few minutes later it will drop from 99% to as low as 90%. I guess it is a well known problem with the Sensation.
