Maybe you aren't getting good ground to the case

I remember seeing this article (h/t addictivetips.com) about poor ground connections on the Sensation and the fix was to open the back cover, and to first clean the ground connection with a cotton swab and alcohol first. The one for the keyboard is on the side and is a little silver square. If that does not prove sufficient, then GENTLY, VERY SLIGHTLY take a toothpick and bend the little silver square on the side of the body outward as well.

I believe I also read somewhere that this works for poor radio reception sometimes, but instead bend the little golden pins in the body outward so that they would make a more solid connection with the body.

Be Careful and Good Luck! :eek:

Mike, have you seen the "jumping" issue with the battery where it seems stuck on 100% forever and then takes a big drop? I know I have seen it on every ARHD version since 3.1 and this thread purports to have a fix, which is also reported as being seen by a number of senior members.
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
You said you used wifi for 30 minutes, was your screen on?

If so, then it could be the screen drained your battery life more than wifi did. Either bricked or faux kernel has huge battery drain when screen on.

BTW, checked high performance wifi feature will definitely drain more juice. Turn on the feature will result in more stable wifi connection but could possibly reduce the data speed.

@Mike1986, Please Check this out!

Mike, have you seen the "jumping" issue with the battery where it seems stuck on 100% forever and then takes a big drop? I know I have seen it on every ARHD version since 3.1 and this new dev thread, h/t V6-Maniac and jug6ernaut purports to have a fix, which is also reported as being seen by a number of senior members and fixed by this patch. I am not sure if it is a kernel or ROM fix, can you please check it out?

Thanks,

battery drainer for 3.6.4 hope kernel will be fix soon. going back to 3.6.1 waiting for the next update 3.6.5 with fix kernel....:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
For the tenth time.... You can flash the beta version of the Kernel that Faux posted a couple of days ago. It will fix the battery draining issues.

the rom will work with any radio. wont guarantee service 100% of the time. because the rom has the RIL file for the ex on it which matches the recommended radio. you can change the radio just make sure to change ril to match whatever radio you flash. You can find rils and radios in the development forum

What kernal is v3.6.4 using? Changelog says faux 0.2.3_16; is that the same as faux 0.2.3_r3?
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
if you use the bricked kernel it will not lock up on you, however then you can't use the sports burst option
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
No, the version included in the ROM is 0.2.3_16 and that was one of the beta version for the final kernel, which is 0.2.3_r3, as you mentioned. There's also the latest beta 2 of version 0.2.4, you can find that one quite easily with search in faux his thread.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
Thanks for the reply, so it's better to flash the 0.2.3_r3 then eh? Since it's the final (so it should be more stable eh?). Or should I stick to what mike has set for us?

okay i see i see :rolleyes:

i think i will uncheck high performance wifi then, because me and router is 1-2 meters only :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
You don't need a proxy eh; you never need to set proxy settings unless you want to be behind a proxy for anonymous reasons.

However, you do have to set the appropriate port number in your APN settings. Usually, the default network-provided port number should work though.

In any case if you have the correct port number, then you should try disable/enable mobile data, reboot your phone, as well as change your APN to another, then back to your original.

In other respects, are you running a battery-saver? Such as Green Power or JuiceDefender?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Flash the last beta of 0.2.4 (b2) or bricked 1.4r1. The 0.2.3_r3 has solved the drain not for all users. Sticking with the provided will not help you, cause it's faulty.
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
jotha, there is 0.2.4 beta 3, which seems to be snappier than b2...

I'm English mate :D

Sent from my HTC Sensation running Android Revolution HD using the XDA app.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Oh, haven't seen that. Using bricked :D. Still the faux betas in the last time were rather shaky, so as b2 seems to have no probs I wouldn't take a chance if I'd not be an experienced user :).

I would advise to read the last pages of the corresponding kernel thread anyway before flashing. So you get a glimpse of whether the choosen kernel is stable or has issues.
[HTC Sensation] piplewis:
Jotha, i would just like to say thanks.

I've been lurking on this thread for about a month reading and learning and you have answered almost every question I could have asked.
[HTC Sensation] mustibabu:
mobile data connection

Thanks for the feedback! Not running any battery-saver. No port number was provided by the mobile carrier, so I haven't set any. And what 'other' APN should I change to? I have already tried numerous times abling-disabling mobile data & rebooting; nothing works.

There's got to be something else that's amiss here.

Ok guys I will do a very minor update today, mostly because of battery drain issues which seems to be top priority now.

thanks mike.

is the update just going to be kernel change?

im seeing issues on latest faux beta on 4.1.5. currently trying with different radio..

Works like a charm. Continues to be the best 2.3.4 kernel for me (:
[HTC Sensation] Nelthalin:
But the vibration also works with the cover removed when you have no ground. I will try to clean it anway :)

I have notices that same battery issue! you can lose like 3-5% in a blink.

With the Bricked 1.4r1 i have less then 1% batt drain in 1 hour. (5% in 8 hours last night). I'm using the 4.1.5 rom.

Hi everybody

Is the bricked kernel better than the stock one? & Doest it work with amaze cam now?

sorry if it has already been asked, my netbook is slow :/
[HTC Sensation] incident:
Going to check it my bro!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you use faux' camera-fix on bricked-thread and bricked kernel everything except burst mode will work.
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Tried it, heavy battery drain!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
You can't say that yet. It's been discussed over and over that after rom/kernel change it takes 2 or 3 complete charging cycles to get the battery working completely.
[HTC Sensation] Nelthalin:
Doe you mean HTC stock or the stock kernel included in ARHD? because ARHD uses a faux kernel.

The faux kernel is similar in performance compared to the bricked 1.4r1. Currently the faux kernel had a battery drain issue so i'm using the bricked kernel now.

Amaze does work if you install the camfix 1.4.
[HTC Sensation] n4sa:
I don't see how you could have tested it properly.

1.5 is basically v1.45-test #509. Myself and a few others have been heavily testing the last few 1.45 test builds and have been getting 30+ hours usage on both ARHD and IC roms. Try it again! :p
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Sorry for my noobisch around the Sensation, just got it...

When i use the original kernal from Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.4 XE currentwidget shows 20ma when screenoff with no other apps running on the background.

When i patch the bricked kernel currentwidget shows ~100ma.

So i'll do 2 or 3 battery cycles and it would go down?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
First thing is that the Sensations reports to battery meters are absolutely unreliable. It's known that most battery meters report higher mA with bricked as with faux. But in the end the bricked lasts much longer. So No, the SEEN drain will probably not get better, but the REAL drain will a) not be as high and b) go down over the next days. But be advised: As soon as you flash a new ROM/Kernel, the process starts again.
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
jotha thanks for the nice reply! Just installed the Bricked kernel and will c what the results are! Greets!
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Am on faux 24.beta2 and 3.6.4 rom. On most standbys I can get 2% down in three hours. This is after slightly more then 1.5 days of testing. Really efficient kernel there. However please note that I undervolt by -75mv using fauxclock. I did not try brick extensively to report/comment.

So, so far very satisfied with faux's beta!
[HTC Sensation] TheEyes:
Is the "other thing" related to the Wifi Calling app? I've noticed that seems to be taking up more and more of the battery lately; in my case this shouldn't happen, since I have wifi calling off permanently (performance is terrible in my area for some reason).
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
Yes that's true. Judging the battery performance of the rom/kernel just a few hours after flashing isn't quite fair...
[HTC Sensation] youngquazy:
Upside Down FFC

So can anyone explain why when using third party video chat apps, the FFC is upside down to the person I'm video chatting with? This didn't happen on stock roms.
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
Hello Mike,

I've been reading for many days now on XDA and own a Sensation XE for myself a couple of days now. Before I did get it I already descided that I would put on ARHD with Sense 3.5. As I got my phone this was 4.1.4 at the moment.

I see a lot of people complaining about draining batteries. I don't think I have those problems as by using Greenpower for controlling my 3G and WiFi and system tuner for undervolting by 0,75mV and underclocking to 1,18GHz my battery lasts for about 46 hours with normal use (I don't call very much, about 15 minutes a day on everage).

So my phone lasts for 2 days which is enough. This said of course I want to get most out of my phone and also out of the battery time. In your ROM you use the kernel Faux made. Reading all posts I see a lot of people switching to the bricked kernel. Also I see that most people are finding bricked kernel the better one looking to battery usage and speed. So I changed to bricked kernel 1.4r1 and now to 1.5 and experienced for myself that speed and battery life is better with those bricked kernels.

I'd like to ask you why your choice of kernel to include in your ROM is Faux's. Of course when you started building this ROM at that present time the Faux kernel was the best out there. But for now it seems that bricked kernel is better. Do you just still use Faux's kernel as you started with that one or did you do a test yourself and give bricked kernel a try recently?

I'm not related to either of the developers of ROMS or kernels but simply follow a lot of threads to get the most out of my device. Maybe you gave bricked kernel a try and experienced a different speed and battery life then I did but for me bricked kernel is giving me more at the moment in comparisation to Faux's kernel. So if you would try and have the same experience you could include bricked kernel instead of Faux's in your new ROMS.
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
It is a fact that Bricked kernel has served most of us better, judging from the posts in this thread. Simply proves to be much more reliable and stable.

However, the reason it is not the default kernel is more out of personal bias, which is quite sad given the community feedback. Don't think this will be changing anytime soon so don't hold your breath :/
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
I'm not a developer but I can imagine that when a ROM developer creates a ROM for a device he (or she) tries to make it perform the best for both speed and battery life.

So if Mike doesn't make (or change) a kernel and uses one of a different developer I would think that he would look into different kernels so he can choose the best one to work together with his ROM. In the end everybody who uses a custom ROM would benefit from it, and also Mike himself to.

Cause a better performing ROM+kernel = getting more users of his ROMS = getting more thanks = getting more beers :)
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
Well believe what you want. But it has been said before on this thread by the dev team, that the reason Bricked is not a recommended kernel is simply:

Because they say so.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Not important to read from start.

It's not important to read entire thread, read from where the current build as been released, most issues are always addressed, at least once even if they are carried over from one version to the next. You can do a search for the desired version and find the start page for that version, then read and get up to date, and then reading is minimal and may not even be required unless you have a problem or want to be of service to others with problems! Peace, V;)
[HTC Sensation] access9:
Flashing any of the 4.1.x (I'm using v4.1.5) I loose my status bar. I did wipe cache and dalvik cache as well. A simple restore of the original SystemIU.apk fixes it back to stock.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Yeah, let's start kernel discussion over and over again.

Use what ever kernel you want. But why bring up the story over and over again. Flash a different kernel is only taking 1 minute. So what's the problem anyway.

It's simple, Mercedes comes with dedicated engine, they don't change engine manufacturer because BMW builds a better one.

It's just a matter of loyalty. What would you guys say if we hop kernel manufacturers every single release because mdjee has the weekly winner, or bricked has the monthly bonus.

Like i said, you are free to use what ever you like.

We even give support on it if needed. But please,, stop the arguments.
[HTC Sensation] mobilkungen78:
Can you please clean up this thread please...ARHD rocks but bricked is best for some of us and faux for some..If you have kernel issues go to the dedicated thread and take it from there:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
As Mike would use the HTC Stock kernel your explanation is correct. But in his ROM there is no Mercedes motor but a Volkswagen. So cause he isn't using the HTC stock kernel I think my question about comparing is relevant. So why Volkswagen and not BMW as the last one is better at this moment. Of course maybe Faux's kernel will be better then bricked kernel in the feature. My question is about this present time.
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Nope, its not my dedicated forum as a moderator, also out of "conflict of interest" it would be bad if we do that huh.

Iam not going to do so, iam just saying it as a member of the ARHD Team
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
How do we know if Beats actually turns on when plugging in non-beats headphones?

(btw there is some sort of beats mod in the OP but the link is broken)
[HTC Sensation] mobilkungen78:
Ok i get the point ;)
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
I believe I have mistaken the reasoning behind your initial argument.

Going to have to disagree with you there. It's simply not feasible for a developer to continually switch kernels to suit whichever one is better. It's not as if he's making ARHD incompatible with Bricked.
[HTC Sensation] mbatson:
+1 Given that you can download the kernel, run a back up and flash the kernel in under 10 mins, what's the issue? Just flash the kernel you want and be done with it
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
I'd just like to jump in and say that I've been testing the latest faux 0.2.4 b3 kernel and its working nicely so far. I don't see why people have got anything against a dev using one kernel over another. Faux's kernel brings more new tech to his kernels than others imo. They might not be the best at battery life from one build to another but that's like building roms, they get better with each build.
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
I agree on you with that, but Mike made a choice before by adding Faux's kernel to HIS ROM. At that time that was possibly the best choice. But reading through the whole thread it could be possible to gain more of his own ROM.

Now in this thread there are a lot of battery issues where people are telling about. Of course most of them are related to the kernel so Mike can't do anything about them, except using the kernel with more performance and less problems at some time when Mike will upgrade or update his ROM. A lot of kernel related problems are asked also in the ARHD ROM thread.

So if Mike would compare kernels who are out there once and a while choosing from good competitors as can be read in different threads he could make a better 'total package' so less people will have problems and tell or complain about them in this ROM thread. In the end I think that especially Mike wants to make the best ROM out there for several devices. I'm using his Asus Transformer ROM to and find that the best one also. In that ROM the kernel is the Asus stock kernel and the Clemsyn kernel is the one I've chosen which gives me the best overall performance. While Mike is adding a customized kernel already in this ROM I think he should look into the best kernel at some time and include that one in his ROM. So this could be bricked kernel now but in two months it could be Faux's again. I know that Mike is also reading those threads and also can see the pro's and con's for the kernels out there. For his own good it's better to oversee things then sticking his head into the sand. Mike isn't the kind of guy sticking his head in the sand, in fact he's sticking his neck out (hopefully you can understand what I mean, I think that's a dutch saying).
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
Understandable but you see, best kernel is very subjective. There ARE people who prefer Faux's kernel. His kernels usually give me poorer results but all phones are different so if it works for someone else, why not?

Unless there is a consensus as to what is the "best", there is no logical reason to switch over.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Please do as whiskey says. This discussion is fruitless.Mike uses Faux. Period, Get over it. :o

As Whiskey said, flashing another one takes a minute. You see in my signature that I use bricked since a long time, cause I think it's superior, at least atm. But believe me, I'd change in a second if I'd be convinced that it would be better. So you can also change as often as you want. For Mike it would be much more complicated to adapt his ROM to another kernel every so many days.

Additionally, if you have a close look on the first post of bricked kernel, and I mean a thorough look on the way the programmer arguments, boasts and expresses himself against other developers, I can pretty well understand why Mike does not want to work with him.;)
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
enough of the tickle fights and consider those who look at the recent posts seeing a petty little fight over kernels. Some like them and some don't. I've noticed lately tons of the same questions being asked over and over and over again to no avail. I recommend like I've seen in Energy's threads before when I was on the HD2 a firm no answer policy or redirection to the front page which nearly everything is in, in an FAQ that more or less covers all. Which would be nice to see instead of having to go through pages of the same question all the time everyday
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
Well in real life there are some people I also rather not work with, but if they are better in what they do then I will choose them except when the would do things which I could not live with.

I'm not saying that I can't be done to flash whatever kernel you want, thats obvious. I'm just saying that it would be nice to include the kernel that is clearly better at a certain time and causing less problems. Of course everybody can use what they want, but it would be helpful and contributing to his fine ROM.

About Mike; As I'm NOT gay I can say I love the guy on a manly kind a way :p

So I don't want him to think that I'm arguing his ROM.
[HTC Sensation] promonr1:

Why bringing BMW into this? xD

AMG or Brabus could suit better ;)

But anyway good point.

If someone want to use different kernel, just flash it... Only because of this stupid discussions it wont be changed anyway.
