Touchscreen death?

I've got a T-Mo sensation 4G. While I've had the touchscreen problems shown in this video, I'm now getting the touchscreen not responding at all. The usability seems to be decaying.

I was having strange crashes:

So I reflashed ARHD 6.6.3 (Super-CID firmware, superwipe, XE rom). Followed the guide and checked MD5s.

I was able to boot and set up the phone. The phone auto-dl'd all my apps, behaved well for about 2 hours then wouldn't unlock. The power button brings up the unlock screen, but the unlock does not respond at all to touch. I pulled the battery and booted to recovery. Touch screen was working in 4ext. I wiped the cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, and rebooted. The unlock screen came up, but no touch response. Rebooted to recovery several times and 4ext sometimes responded to touch, sometimes not. 4ext didn't respond to touch in my last three boots to recovery.

I'm trying the touchscreen fix (pin bend, foil, battery discharge-pull-recharge) now, but I suspect I have a different problem.

Any thoughts?

As a second question: I got this phone off craigslist. Any way to warranty it? If so, how would I get it back to s-on (etc.) with (maybe) no access to the touchscreen?

Skype green is completely gone with 2.18

​

been a big issue for some for quite a while!
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
I reflashed 6b6 and then wiped cache.... see no problems now..... thanks...
[HTC Sensation] GuerillaTech:
Mike, what are your thoughts on including the newer radio and faux's newest kernel (006) in 6.6.4?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Radio comes with the firmware, not the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
@mike1986 :

Been using my Sensation a bit on Adreno 218, and it's doing absolutely fine for me as well, so I'll join the others that confirmed 218 to be working fine (I'm not using Skype, though, so can't comment on that).

Plus it's not necessary anymore to force 2D GPU rendering with 218 to benefit from enhanced performance like was the case on 213.

m5d sum

umm i ran a m5dsum checker on the Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M.rar and it says the m5d sum is wrong....

MD5 Checksum: 833A9ECE6C63F0237F34DDDE99961910 this is the one give and this is what mine comes up with

94B395E0BCOFFB10096876E93B04840E

i used this m5dsum checker http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checker/3000-2092_4-10410639.html

anybody else getting this?
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Same here!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I'm so sorry to hear that, i had the same issue and it was a harware thing (digitizer). I sent my phone to HTC and they send me back a brand new phone. However, at the very beginning this was only happening on ICS and i reverted back to GB and the touchscreen was completely functional :eek::eek: weird, isn't it? couple of days later it just died. If you can send it back to htc do it now! if you don't you will need to replace the digitizer and that should solve the issue

You don't need the touchscreen at all to switch back to s-on. Just reflash your stock gingerbread RUU and run the s-on command following step 5 on this guide.

If you want some more info about this read this thread, i've posted a few links there to my previous posts regarding that issue.

Good luck
[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
I use AudioGalaxy app and stream my 150gig+ of music to my phone from my PC.

Works great!
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Just wondering if support is done here on AHRD or almost as there has not been an update since April 9th? Love Mike and he did great work for us. Just a fair question before I move on the the next phone.

Thanks mike for all you do!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Are you seriously asking if the support here is done? :eek::eek: almost every answer/post get a reply within the next hour or so.
[HTC Sensation] GuerillaTech:
I was thinking more or less about the RIL then.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I just added changelog for 6.6.4 ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Are you are checking the MD5 for the radio.img file or for the PG58IMG.zip file? Don't run it against the .rar file. From the first post of this thread, I believe it is for the radio.img file. Check the Sensation radio/RIL thread for more info if needed.

If you had flashed a different radio, and then flashed or reflashed a different ROM, then you would probably need to flash the matching RIL. Check the link above.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Thanks chef.....
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
I meant new versions not questions jaqiun, calming tones dude.

Thanks mike! Looking forward to the next :-)
[HTC Sensation] Charles Collins:
Cheers Mike
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Will download tomorrow since I'm off from.work thanks Mike for a perfect ROM.
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Well to answer your question, new versions will come up once HTC release them or get leaked and Mike has access to them. But like Joaquin said, the support here is every hour or so when someone ask for help.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Just curious about that "patch" on 6.6.4... is it related with 218 drivers? If so, what's that solving and where to get that? (or only added directly to 6.6.4?)

Just asking by :P
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
compability fix for GPU Performance Patch

Hi mike do you know if the small compability fix for GPU Performance Patch makes any difference while using instagram? because with the 218 drivers we can't upload pictures, if you try to the device will freeze and a batt pull or three fingers salute is required.

Looking forward to this. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Nope, capability patch has nothing to do with it. I'm more and more convinced that I should include 2.13 drivers instead of 2.18...
[HTC Sensation] jjrumph:
Agreed. If 213 works well with no issues then go for it. If they want 218 they can flash it. When it stabilizes you can include in another update.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Just tested camera360, it has no issue with 218, I don't use Instagram, and camera360 was what comes closest to it (applying graphical effects)... Anyhow I have not yet found anything not working with 218, so for me it will be 218 except if I end up running into an issue.

But I believe that 213 for 6.6.4 would be the safer path...

Maybe leaving the option to use 218 during installation ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Well i haven't read any issues with 213 and i've tried 218 myself and i had a couple of strange behaviour and glitches in some apps (instagram not working, asphalt6 shows weird lines and some users have reported the same). I'm now on 213 and everyting is working smooth.

If you ask me, i'd include 213. I don't want the thread to be flooded with "instagram isn't working" or "i have strange green lines".

Thanks for answering

PS: have you read this and this feedback posts about your thread update? Will be great if you could make those changes :D thanks again
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
Which one aplication is this from market?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Try this :p
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
No offense newbie, has nothing to do with new htc version. Was simple question about a 6.3.4

As Mike usually works updates when faux has me kernel. No need for trying to slam for a fair question that Mike responded to. Jees
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi guys,

I will need to take back this part ... :confused:

Been testing around with 218 some more, and since I turned off forced 2d GPU rendering, I felt like either I had now gotten too much accustomed to better performing UI or simply that it wasn't that swift anymore.

Ran AnTuTu 2D Benchmarking, and I had ~150 with 218 ?!

So turned forced 2D GPU rendering on again, played a bit with UI, which felt way better again, re-ran the benchmark and got ~300 again !?

So, since 213 and 218 give similar AnTuTu benchmarks and more importantly similar UI experience, so even if there is a difference in performance, it must be little, and since for both eventually 2D GPU rendering is necessary,

I'd most definately suggest to go for 213 for ARHD 6.6.4

.

My 2 cents... ;)

Btw, dunno why the benchmark and UI was fast in the beginning with 2D forced GPU rendering disabled ... maybe a reboot is necessary when turing 2D GPU rendering off ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Dreamweaver:
6.6.4 on the way... :D
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Which governor are you using to run the benchmarks? if you are using intellidemand maybe that will affect results because of the smart core management. There are so many things that could affect benchmarks, that's why i don't trust that numbers and i find them useless. At the end of the day they aren't showing anything.

Try setting governor to ondemand or performance, reboot and run again
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
This rom just keeps getting better and better with every update! :) thanks Mike! :D
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Running ondemand here, 213 sooo similar to 218...

I also had some glitches using 218, none using 213... (By glitches I mean a suden battery drain of 10% without any explanation, one sense block and some more little problems...)

Definitely recomending 213 for 6.6.4, it's mike's word at the end but 218 has been nandroidred out of my sensy after half day of use...
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
I agree with you... 218 works perfect with my phone... Including Instagram.

It would be great to have an option of flashing either one flashing the new ROM.

My UI is definitely smoother.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Are you sure you've flashed 218? you are the first person i've heard saying that instagram is working, by working i mean being able to take a picture, apply a filter and upload it.

Could you please double check your version using OpenGL extension viewer? thanks
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Quick question about installing the driver, it is independent from rom right like fw? I mean even if i superwipe or do a nand restore i will still have the driver if i installed it once?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
One little question... Today I had to use this ones more:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21648094&postcount=47332

And I have one little doubt... with this fix, I can put pictures on my contacts (mostly I use whatsapp, before the fix no picture showed, after the fix I MUST go to contacts menu, edit each contact I want to see the photo and select the Google photo, can't see the Facebook one :( )

Any idea of why the hell can't I see facebook pictures on my whatsapp contacts even with the fix above? :( It's driving me mad from a long time xD
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I think there is something with whatsapp and ICS or sense 3.6 because since the very first leaked ICS ROM facebook pictures are no longer synced with whatsapp. As you said the only way the pictures show up is setting google pic as the contact pic.

EDIT: i think that chmod fix is mostly for stock messaging app :(
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Damn... never used messaging app actually xD Only whatsapp here, everyone has it so no need to message anyone anymore...

So noone with a tip on how to "solve" this? Will send a mail to facebook, just in case... as they've been quite busy this days actualizing their apps (well, may also try whatsapp people xD).

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
Look at this guys :)

What do you think?

EDIT: Damn app doesn't allow me to upload second pic...

Incorrect jpg...something.. :(
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Mmmm..... Mmmmm.... Mmmmmmmm.... Something smelling mighty tasty in the kitchen. :D
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I was hoping that might bring you out... :D Still crazy busy?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Yes sir. Besides.... I learned that being busy in these economic times is a good thing. What's this I read you had an accident. I hope you are ok. :)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Not me, another member I was talking with in Cincy about getting the new OTA from Cincy Bell since they are partnered with TMO there apparently. He was at the TMO store but was unable to get it from them and transferred to Dropbox or somewhere, and then totaled his car on the way home. :(

Fortunately I was able to get it through user mwl1119, unfortunately it turned out there was no new radio and Mike said nothing new on the firmware side either. :(

True on the work part, someone mentioned it in the office the other day and I said "if we aren't busy, there would be less of us standing here."
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Yess sir... Downloaded the app and it shows openGL Ver 2.0 2184622

I haven't had any issues with it... Including Instagram... Everything's running fine on my end.

Edit: so for some stupid reason I just enabled Force 2D GPU and it crashed my instagram... Now I've disabled it and it keeps crashing... But it was working for the past two days.... Weird!
[HTC Sensation] JPeterson66:
Please help...

Ok i've tried everything but no matter what i do (fresh installs, re-installs, different kernels, the usa radio update) on this ROM i've always had a problem where my phone will be fine and then all of the sudden if im using it or if its in my pocket it will do random boot off's all by its self and then most of the time when i boot it back up it will shut back on within seconds of booting or a few minutes at most... I'm at a total loss at what i need/should do to fix this problem. ANY help would be MUCH appreciated before my brain melts from my ears...

I'm running 6.6.3 XE but ive had this problem since gingerbread ARHD ROM's
[HTC Sensation] jthumanist:
Hardware problem?

[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Did you install any mods?
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:

[HTC Sensation] jthumanist:
I read somewhere that with ICS there is no longer a FB interface because of some issue between FB and HTC. Anyone else heard anything about that?

Sent from my HTC Sensation ARHD 6.5.5 XE. Rockin'
[HTC Sensation] carn2k:
this may seem a bit far fetched but how about backing up everything on the SD Card to your PC, then completely wiping it and try it out for a few days to see if the problem still exists
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Do you have any mods installed??
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
LOL welcome to the rest of the group :D you were the only one who had instagram working fine with 218

It sounds like your cpu don't like to be overclocked, I'd suggest you to flash the stock kernel or limit your cpu speed @1.2 GHz in whatever kernel you are and give it a try for a few days. Also try a different battery, that might be the cause of the reboots.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
I tried this one:

But still i dont have any of the pictures.

I think it would be an extremely good idea if mike includes a fix for this problem in the next build.

UPDATE: it worked!
[HTC Sensation] jthumanist:
I cant believe the OneS. Stupid move HTC
[HTC Sensation] BIGMOH:
Thanks Mike!

Officially 08/05/2012 in Canada :D :D :D looking forward to this in the morning :P

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

it is pure hardware, that's why HTC One X has two flavors, LTE dual core for North America and quad-core for the ROW :mad:

its a shame Mike is only working on the quad-core One X ROM :(
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Can't wait to update! ^^
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
AT&T's version of one X doesn't have an unlockable bootloader yet. Isn't supported by htcdev, allegedly due to AT&T pressure over HTC. Also kernel source wasn't released by HTC for this variant either... that was a low punch.

More info here and here.

Personally, i think i'll get the international version when i can afford it unlocked
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
I've had the same issue before. Tried a lot of stuff with clock speeds and kernels. What worked for me was this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622683

It has worked for a few others and some not. Worth a shot and very simple. I've been going for about 2 weeks with no shutdowns and about a week o/c to 1.8 ghz with sebs kernel. Let me know if it worked for you!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Good point, intellidemand of course ;)

I agree with you, benchmarks are what they are and real life is real life ;)

Though the feeling of lesser speed seemed to confirm the benchmark.

But now I noticed, with 218 and forced 2D rendering, I don't see picture in xda app anymore, just see empty frames that I can't even click...

Furthermore I read 213 was the latest driver for us, 218 was ported from the One X (or so).

I'm going back to 213 and check if xda app is showing pics again.

JP.

EDIT -----------------

Back on 213...

2D forced rendering won't make pics show in xda, be it on 213 or 218.

Hmm ... What to think and what to choose !?
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Just now found that, I already have OpenGL ES 2131267...... I didnt flash anything... How is that possible?? Any idea??
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
We've found out the same yesterday. However if you flash "again" the 213 version you will get the performance boost .. I can't explain why they have the same version number but i can confirm there is an improvement with the "newest" 213 version. Flash the drivers and you'll see.

EDIT: read from here

EDIT2: Drivers thread link just in case you don't have it handy
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
OK, now on 218, 2D forced GPU rendering is off, xda is showing pics again.

But I have the impression that the UI isn't that snappy anymore :(

Just did a benchmark with perf governor and I'm at almost 300 in AnTuTu 2D, which is the fast side, with 2D forced GPU rendering off.

So I come to the conclusion, that 218 with forced rendering off is comparable to 213 with forced rendering on, thus 218 is more interesting, since it doesn't impeed apps like xda to show pics...

Enough of back and forth, I'll now stick to 218 for a while and see :cool:

i would like to downgrade from ics to gb coz the screen keeps dimming n videos n maxthon browser

im using htc sensation hboot 1.27 s-on, flashed arhd with htc dev unlock adb method.

pls help
[HTC Sensation] isherdholi:
I got fed up with buggy MIUI ICS roms and all my friends waving iphones in my face and saying "it just works"

What a load of crap.

Anyway, I just flashed this ROM yesterday - first time I've tried an ARHD rom - I can't tell you how good it feels to have a fully functional, stable and fast phone at last!!

The only thing that drove me away from Sense in the past was the slowness and laggyness - but that was mainly the Stock rom.

This rom is super fast and everything works perfectly.

Thank you very much team
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Guys can you tell me if Advanced Power Menu and Extended Quick Settings mods are compatible with ARHD 6.6.3?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well I flashed Leedroid Tweaks for that reason, using it, they both work fine. For the idividual mods, should be fine but I didn't test them.

Might want to try Leedroid Tweaks (it has other interesting stuff !).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] rloup:
Advanced Power Menu works fine for me, Extended Quick Settings I don't know, I haven't it.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
On the new ARHD version, I think an option to flash 213 or 218 patch would be perfect. I'm sticking to 218 for now since it fixes the green camera on skype. :)
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
how I can go to recovery mode? There is no option in power menu.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hold Power and volume down pressed on boot.

Then choose recovery.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
You mean turn off the phone first and than do the method. Don't you think it's bit long exercise?
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
Or use the Quick Boot app from the Play store.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Yes. But it's how it's done.

Or you can get QuickBoot from the Market (I mean Play Store :p). It's free and works a treat. I put it in my dock so it's available easily and quickly.

You can flash an APM mod from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14191947&postcount=2

You can try LeeDroid Tweaks from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586037. It includes a nice APM (and EQS) as well as tons of nice controls built in.

There you go.

P.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
It won't be slower than using any kind of APM or app, you will just not need to push the two buttons, but the device will reboot in any case so there's not any faster/slower solution :rolleyes:

And you can reboot and hold the two buttons at the right moment, no need to explicitely turn off the phone, even though it's easier not to miss the right moment

if

you turn it off :D

And since you were asking, I supposed you had no APM, and in that case, the two finger method is the closest at hand ;)

BTW, I'm using Leedroid Tweaks's APM :cool:

JP.
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
If you have 4ext recovery, you can do it from the 4ext updater app menu as well.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Good one, forgot about this. Quick, easy, no overhead.
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Does everyone else get "Locations has stopped working" when they boot their phone?
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
Hi. I flashed Leedroid Tweaks and now I am stuck at beats audio screen. What I did wrong? I am using ARHD 6.3.3 with Bricks latest kernel.
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
I suggest you to update to ARHD 6.6.3.
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
Sorry. It's typo. I am on 6.6.3
[HTC Sensation] darKpoiSonend:
no it does not.. XE version is just with beats audio etc.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well you could try this :

- restore a Nandroid backup (hope you did one before flashing the mod)

Else try to :

- reflash the kernel

Or

- reflash the ROM

I had no problem flashing the tweaks...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] javedabbasi:
Yes I restored the backup flashed back faux kernel and flash the tweaks again but the same result. Stuck at beats audio screen. For the time being I surrendered LeedDroid tweaks. Thanks for your assistance.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Yes. I have for the last few versions.

Doesn't affect anything I use, so...
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
maybe a silly question...: did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing leedroid tweaks?
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
I'm always coming to this thread to check for the new update. :D
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Installing tweaks already wipes cache n dalvik
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
I can confirm that Instagram doesnt work with 218 drivers. Dont know the situation with 213. the phone just stop working and i need to pull of battery. Someone told here that if I install 213 again i got performance boost? Really?

[HTC Sensation] baste07:
i see that the driver included is 218, i thought it was breaking some functions in instagram
[HTC Sensation] malybru:

I think he changed his mind ,and will install 213.

He hasn't changed the changelog yet.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Grem135:
no, still looks like new ;)

I thought about melting a f5 key on an old junk keyboard and posting the picture lol
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I love the electricity in the air every time a new ROM is about to be released.

It gets people doing silly things. :p

It's time for me....:) not having any issues at all..it's a mental thing for me.
