Well, you actually have to re-flash (or re-install) the build for the changes to take effect...

Now that you have confirmed some of the settings are different, hopefully this will fix it.

Compressed MMS Fix

(still have to re-flash):

1. Unzip the ROM.

2. Replace the default.xml already in the ROM with the stock TMOUS default.xml

3. Re-zip the ROM and flash to your phone.

I have attached the stock TMOUS default.xml file here:

You could also flash the mod that fixes that. i posted the link some pages back. the only draw back for that fix is that you have to wipe before you install it.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
There is no information available.

Yeah, I called HTC and asked their techs the question and they were dumbfounded. They acted like it's a question that has never been asked. They did say it is best to charge your phone with it powered off. And added that it charges better in a cool enviorment. Other from that they said that the battery circuitry controls the charge and discharge and is not governed by the phone. Further research reveals that everytime the battery gets to hot, you lose some capacity and it will no longer hold the charge it did before getting so hot. Also they said that deposits form on the contacts of the batteries over time and can reduce power both in charging and discharging cycles. They said to use a cotton swab with nail polish remover from time to time to remove these deposits. However, be careful not to get the nail polish remover on any of the plastic, they don't like each other and will go to war! That said, I guess it's a matter of personal experience, if it makes you feel better and seems to give you a boost, then so be it. However, I can't find any how to's at the batteries manufactuer's own sites. Google probably does not like me because I use it to much! LOL Peace, V:mad:

Simple Guidelines for Charging Lithium-based Batteries

A portable device should be turned off while charging. This allows the battery to reach the threshold voltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible to terminate the charge. A parasitic load confuses the charger.

Charge at a moderate temperature. Do not charge below freezing.

Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.

Chargers use different methods for “ready” indication. The light signal may not always indicate a full charge.

Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.

Before prolonged storage, apply some charge to bring the pack to about half charge.

Over-discharged batteries can be “boosted” to life again. Discard pack if the voltage does not rise to a normal level within a minute while on boost.

So this rom still has the htc sniffers built in ? tell Htc and htc loggers?

anyway to stop this?

Hi,

Go to camera settings and switch off widescreen.

This will increase your resolution from （3264*1840） to (3264*2448)

:)
[HTC Sensation] ofsinreno:
In my experience you do not have to reflash the rom you just have to replace the default.xml then run the SETUP.apk (it is an app in the drawer) this will not wipe any information on your phone it will just register your device again on your mobile network.

However when you get comfortable with the above procedure it helps to pack the tmous default.xml into your rom BEFORE flashing updates or new roms- then you don't have to run the setup twice.
[HTC Sensation] papao217:
I think calibrating the battery is for the software to be in "sync" with the battery's true capacity so that the software can report the true capacity, and for it to report the nearest accurate estimated levels...

Hi, search this thread for quick_settings as there were quite a few files uploaded. try wiping cache aslo, I had this problem also and eventually stumbled upon correct one for 3.x which solved problem. Fyi if you flashed battery mod it sometimes causes conflicts..

[HTC Sensation] RaptorRVL:
The calibrating process is to a. get a good reading of the capacity in the battery and b. plot a good/better % indication.

(and some more stuff I guess, but let's not get into that)

A Lithion battery's voltage (when discharging) does not go down in a linear way. First it drops fast, then it goes down slow and finally at the end it drops down fast again.

The whole calibrating thing is to avoid this behaviour and give us (as a user) a nice more linear % drop.

That's why you always hear people saying 'When I flash X ROM/Kernel, it dropped 15%-20% super fast!' (or something similar :) ). That's because the % then follows the voltage (simply put).

I also guess the capacity of the battery can be indicated from measuring how many mAh's are pulled from the battery from a full charge (max voltage) to the minimum charge (minimum voltage).

Anyway, I suppose that's some part of the calibration process (it's the same for laptops too, those also use lithium-ion batteries). Perhaps the chip or software also does other things, but this seems like a quite important step in giving an accurate percentage reading :D

[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
With no offense meant to anyone, I think its all voodoo and/or bunk :)

I've never had a need to calibrate/train/condition a battery after any ROM flash.

I also never turn my phone on every 10 seconds after I flash a ROM and check to see if the % has increased/decreased 1/5/50/500 percent :) (and then post about it).. I also suspect that everyone once and a while WIERD-SH!T-HAPPENS and my battery will drain (or even charge) rapidly.. I try to avoid getting excited about these events unless I can repeat them multiple times.

I suspect all of this has more to do with being closer to a tower with better signal (less battery drain) one day vs. the next, etc etc.

Fully agree, charging batteries when cool is a well known recommendation.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
Mike do you have a new base for 3.5 yet?
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
See that's why the confusion need to be cleared. After reading tons of discussions, I am still confused.

So how many battery cycles do I basically need to create such a info for battery spec after flashing a new ROM/kernel?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well, you're absolutely right, but that was not the question (at least in my case). I want to know why my phone rather often displays wrong percentages, like some percentage in one second and after a restart 10% more or less. And that is sure an issue for me, cause it means 2 hours more or less before the need to recharge. And to get to the bottom of that question, I wanted to know what that calibration process really does, cause I think a wrong reading on an instrument most often has to do with a wrong calibration of that instrument. That's all. Don't wanna make a rocket science out of it. Just curiosity.

But as we obviously do not have somebody on this forum that can give really profound info on this subject and it goes more and more OT, I'll leave it to that.
[HTC Sensation] bfspider:
You shouldn't have to be doing battery cycles unless you buy a battery with a higher capacity.

Just flash and go. If you start noticing massive battery drain, it is most likely from a rogue app or bad ROM/kernel cooking/coding.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Can anyone share which overclock kernel works with AR v4.1.0?
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
liked how 3.5 looked, but it seems some of the basics just aren't there like had issues with friendstream and weather, which is fine however since its a leaked version. Can't wait until 3.5 sense comes out officially with all fixes and whatnot working entirely.

Otherwise, great work on your ROM mike and keep it up
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Android takes current voltage, compares it against battery profile in batterystats.bin and from that it arrives @ current battery %. Various things can affect voltage supplied by battery, mainly temperature and previous drain, if for example you play a game for some time (high cpu usage) and temperature of cpu and battery rises so does a voltage supplied by the battery, now when the temp drops (so does the voltage) Android suddenly thinks it has much less battery remaining. The file batterystats.bin contains information on what processes drain battery and how the OS utilizes power and that is why it should be cleared every time you change battery or flash new rom. Charging battery outside the phone has no affect on displayed percentages because once the system is running it just compares current voltage supplied to remembered and displays correct %. To properly calibrate the stats file (or battery as it is the same) you have to charge it to the max (green led + 1 hour in most cases) then delete batterystats.bin file (/data/system/batterystats.bin) unplug phone and use it the way you do normally, and that means all programs you normally use, then as you fall below 2-3% (you can argue that battery must be discharged completely) connect to charger and repeat up to 100% + 1 hour. It is important that charging process be not interrupted and no phone restarts occur (it's best that way as the phone does not know what is happening when system is not running). It's no rocket science at all :)

Hey Mike, I lost the post regarding overclocking to more than the phone can handle.

I'm using an Asian Sensation, OC'ed it to 1.9 on Performance, and it reboots, stuck on HTC splash screen.

I know all this talk about battery life is important, and I know we are all sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting for the next release, but maybe someone should start a battery thread- and hold this discussion there.

Hey Mike,

Don't know if you missed my last request. In this ROM the accelerometer is not working anymore in standby. I used sleep cycle tracks to wake up and they actually do quite a nice job.

I know the shutting down from the accelerometer in standby has got something to do with SensorEventListener.OnSensorChanged()

Is this something in your power to change or is it a kernel thing?

Thanks m8 :)

Last time I posted I had someone basically call me n idiot and point me to a larger mms fix. He was thinking I didn't know about it yet I guess... But the problem is that it doesn't seem to work. After flashing I even wiped d cache

What will work but is wrong is to flash 3.6.1 then flash 4.1.0 on top.

If u superwipe between then Ur stuck with tiny mms.

Flame me all u want I don't fag out and report people for infractions. I would however like to be pointed in the right direction.
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Sounds like you are seeing the same thing I am.

I'm aware that the H = 4G. What I'm saying is that with the stock ROM in a 4G area, it shows 4G at the top. With this ROM in the exact same spot, it shows 3G not the H that one would logically conclude it should be showing knowing that we are in 4G coverage. It switches to the H only after initiating data across the network such as the browser or a speed test. Once concluded, it switches back to the 3G symbol. Without performing one of those actions, there is no way to know whether or not I am in 4G (H) coverage by simply glancing at the phone.

~T.J.
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Did you do a full wipe, flash the ROM and the flash the large mms fix and then reboot? Running this ROM flashed this way on my sons Sensation and it works fine. If you flash it after you have already installed the ROM and booted it up it won't work.
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Will try it like that. Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
To everyone who is confused about this.... It's been covered a zillion times in this thread and all other Devs' threads. Search is your friend :)

The US Sensation 4G, does NOT ever go into "3G" speeds.

It is ONLY 2G or 4G

.

It's very simple really. Most ROMs out there from any Dev (except for the few ROMs that state Tmo US base), are from International or Euro released ROMs.

When our Tmo Sensation 4G shows "3G"....

YOU ARE GETTING 4G

. When it shows "H"...

ALL THAT MEANS IS YOUR DEVICE IS EITHER UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING DATA

. That's all. "H" means data is on the move.

When our Tmo S4G shows "E" (edge), obviously that's 2G.

Hope that clears it up.

3G & H = 4G ALL THE TIME

. E = 2G. The only reason this happens is because the Euro Sensation ROMs dont do 4G.

There is no speed difference.... Even though it shows 3G....your still getting 4G :)

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] daerl:
I think that since on stock it ONLY shows 2G or 4G, it shows the 4G symbol when your on UMTS (3G) or HSDPA (4G); on ARHD it shows G, E, 3G, and H..

EDIT: didnt see previous post :) and i was wrong, apparently
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
That makes sense, but.........

Does a stock rom come with this batterystats.bin file? And if so, why doesn't HTC or the manufacturer of the battery give us this information. Seems like it might be an important highlight if nothing else. Or at least a sidenote. Oh well, I get about ten hours of up time from a single charge. That with moderate use and wifi on most of the time, auto updates about once every three hours; i.e. mail, weather, location. Text, and talk, never auto backlight, I control all of those with power widget and control my mobile data switch as well, always off if I'm inside a building or away from a signal area. Maybe I could benefit a little from calibration like this but I'm happy with ten hours of moderate use. Standby only I get about twenty four hours. I will keep pursueing this for all of us, and when I come across a definitive answer from either the phone manufacturer or the battery manufacturer, I'll just continue to use and charge the phone as I always have. Peace, V:p

[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Thank you, I had tried searching but wasnt seeing much about it. There are a LOT of posts with terms like "no 4G" or "4G icon" in them (not surprisingly)

That does make sense and aligns with what I'm seeing (still have 4G speeds, just shows 3G until I use it, then voila, H pops up). I just think its interesting that rather than display the H (for 4G) all the time it shows the 3G instead, and then rather than use the 3G data send/receive animation, it switches to H and uses that send/receive animation, haha.

It would be perfect for T-Mobile users if that one minor thing was changed :p

EDIT: Maybe this belongs in the FAQ somewhere? Or is it and I missed it?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
NP :)

There ARE mods out there, I believe for 2.3.4 based ROMs, that look as a US Tmo based device should look. It's a matter of changing out the icons in framework.res.....if I recall. Pretty sure you can do it with help from the good ole Kitchen.

I don't think its an option yet for the latest Sense 3.5 ROMs.

Yep...the only difference are the icons....ability to pick up TmoUS HSPA+ signal....still there :)
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I found a pretty bad bug that I'm not sure how to fix. While listening to Spotify on the train this morning a phone call came in but it was instantly declined after the first ring. Then, any time that person called back it was immediately declined by the phone before I could try to answer. It also would not allow me to call the person back. It would ring once then disconnect. This happened repeatedly even though I had full signal on 4G.

Turning the phone off and back on fixed the problem. But then when I tested an incoming call while Spotify was on, the same issue occurred again.

I did not have this issue while listening to Spotify on the CM7 Alpha. I'm hoping there is a fix as I do love this ROM.

Any suggestions?

I've already tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions without any success.
