Morning all !

Remember a few posts back, i.ve asked people around here if they have lags after installing/uninstalling apps after flashing the latest AR 1.1.5/6 ... ? Well i know that android does slow down a bit when performing such a task, but my lags ( and i assume yours also ) were a bit too much ( i mean for 10 secs i barely could use the phone ) - which was nothing like the stock rom ( sorry mike, didn.t want to say this before i tested a little bit ). And i DID, and what i THINK, is that this lag was caused by TITANIUM BACKUP ( i.m not sure ! ) but i uninstalled some of the apps that i did backed up with TB ( mainly the ones running all the time ... status bar, always on running service ) and voila ... lag was gone. So to be sure about this, cand someone with a fresh install of the rom , BEFORE USING TITANIUM BACKUP , try and install an app from the market and see if there is any NOTICEABLE lag ?

One other thing i found: When you manually set up brightness let.s say to 20% and use the camera, after you close the camera app brightness sticks to 100% ( it.s random, but it.s there ) - sometimes i have the bug, sometimes i don.t ( could be htc-s fault here, i don.t know)

Other: Fluidity: My best results were with Demon Controller + SetCPU ( usage AND benchmark scores - mainly in usage and not only sense, i tested with a quake 3 emulator, which till now uses the most resources from all the apps i have ) - i set Demon Controller to the default CPU speed ( 1188000 max ) and use SetCPU to OC if i really want to. I always get a huge difference this way, compared if i use only Demon Controller or SetCPU, separately )

And the last: BATTERY IS A *****. Never was great, but with this it drains like hell ! I am not OC-ed and i use Juice Defender and i can barely make half the times i was able with stock rom...

So, can anyone, with the spare time, test these things ? 10q

Hi Bro,

I have never used titanum backup, and i do not have any lag issue when installing apps.
[HTC Sensation] eliteone:
evo9,

The ROM is better than stock that's for sure :) but you have to remember these are the early days of s-off for us so there are some small issues.... But run a nandroid to back up your stock ROM and try for yourself ;) if you don't like it return to stock. But all I can say is a nice healthy 1.8 ghz overclock is quite the boost in performance :)
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Did you experienced any lags at all, while using the rom ? ( assuming u used it for a while ) - benchmark problems slow-downs etc ?
[HTC Sensation] eliteone:
Ruu stands for ROM update utility, and flashing an Ruu is not nessesary in order to change your radio.... Just look for the radio thread in the dev section and follow the directions there. Its really quite easy, just make sure your phone has a good charge so it doesn't turn off during the process, and don't disconnect it from your 'puter and all will be fine :)
[HTC Sensation] longdi:
sorry i dun run any benchmark and i don't play games......

I use my phone mainly for phone call, sms, corporate exchange email, calendar, ebook and occasional surfing.

When i use it with sense or go launcher ex, there is no lag at all. Perfectly smooth.

However, when i try launcher pro and adw launcher, i find it laggy when wiping between home screens. Apps drawer for them are jerky too.

It does not take me three days, normally one charge and everything works as it should.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
im guessing its just a 'wait and see, give it 5 mins to settle in noobs' type answer rather than people flashing, 5 mins later complaining about battery life. i would guess 3 cycles is plenty long enough for things to settle.

although saying that i dunno if faux has some kind of battery management / cal script in his kernel..

some people on the faux kernal thread saying the new kernal breaks the camera.

is this true on ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i dont think thats what they are saying, i've not had any issues with it, just dont press power button when in camera app and dont try and use burst mode in the amaze camera mod (if u use that)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
lol, give him a beard too! :D

u like mine? im not very good with photo editing, i can just about use paint :(
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
ah ok

il probs try it once I flashed new version of the ROM.

Im using SenSAY atm as im getting far better battery life on it.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well, that has one simple (and rather stupid) reason:

As you might know, Mike has that auto-calibration script in his ROM. It automatically calibrates battery when first time 100% Battery is reached (actually a bit more than when 100% is shown). So as a lot of users remove their phone from charger the second it reaches 100%, that battery script often did not get activated until maybe the second or third charging cycle, when they let it on the charger longer (over night maybe) :).

So many ppl made the experience, that their battery got only calibrated after some charging cycles and this myth was born. And you know xda, there are a lot of parrots that repeat the same thing over and over. ( I must admit, I also used it when trying to tell ppl to give their battery time to calibrate :p). Of course that is nonsense, especially when only changing kernels, because there the calibration script does not work anyways. If you get the battery calibrated after the first charging cycle, automatically or manually, you should get the standard battery life after that. If you don't, it will take longer. That's the only thing that really matters. No matter whether Faux or Bricked or whatever kernel.

Myth busted :p.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i might have miss-understood though, ive not been on the new kernel for long but i can only really go on what ive seen. so far its good, ive not had any issues.

battery issues tend to be more kernel related than ROM, u could come back to ARHD with the newest faux? :D

3.6.7, faux 0.2.6r mainline:

Camerbug seems to have taken a different path....

When I turn off the screen with camera still on, locscreen comes back on when i turn the screen on again.

But when I slide the ring to unclock, only my wallpaper shows, leading to"three-finger-salute".

Have to test it a few more times to confirm, but thats for later. I need some sleep now... Work tomorrow. Nite guys

oh soon to be released, nice!:D:D
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Nice indeed!! Hanging out for 4.1.8 so I can do super wipe and flash the ROM and hopefully fix my force close issue. :D

Loving the speed and battery life I'm getting out of it. It's just these bloody force closes. I hope it isn't related to something like GO Launcher though. That would suck. :eek:
[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
Thank you for the quick reply. Appreciate it. Guess, ill go ultra.

I have another question.

I have facebook and Whatsapp. Facebook profile pics have been linked to contacts. So their pics are shown in contact picture.

However in Whatsapp, the contact pics dont show(yes they are linked to their contacts).

Any idea ?

I was on Virtuous and was working. But on 4.1.7, it is not.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Have you tried using the "fix permissions" action in recovery? That's resolved any FC issues for me. I also use GO Launcher EX and have not had any out of the ordinary FCs.
[HTC Sensation] alexander_sibags@mail.ru:
Mike! Hi! I'm from Russia and we all waiting your's 3.6.8 XE ROM :)

And tell me what difference between 3.6.7 and 4.1.7? What speedly and bugless?:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] smashmix:
Done both of tricks, no lucky.. actually I didn't have any cache in HTC Sense app.. Even fixing permissions didn't work for me :-)

Any thoughts about that..?
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
I had run fix permissions from within ROM Manager two or three times and that did nothing. Earlier today I actually booted into recovery (CWM) and ran it from there. In a day or two I will know if running it from recovery instead of ROM Manager does the trick.

Good to know you have GO Launcher though and not having any issues.

Thanks. :)
[HTC Sensation] superman63:
having trouble with my 4ext think i might haVe lost root flashing around trying to find a 3.5 that didnt have some issues. bet we get 4.1 sense before we get 3.5 fixed lol these guys have done a great job with what the had. ok so did mike say a time frame of the 3.6.8 because i need to completelywipe this phone bare and probably reformat my 16gig? if its mon or by wednesday i will wait if not i will go ahead next upgrade should be awesome have enjoyed all of the 3.0 sense roms and mods
[HTC Sensation] smashmix:
Huge thank!!!
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
i just got a new sensation xe yesterday. rooted, super wiped, flashed 3.6.7

what's bothering me is the wifi range. previously, at my room, i can get at least 2 bars of wifi strength using desire HD. my new toy cant even get any wifi signal from my room. i have to walk to around a meter from the router before i get a signal. is my current set faulty? or am i missing something?
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Go into Wifi Settings, Menu, Advanced and select Best Wifi Performance. Personally this didnt make any difference for me but it's worth a try.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok guys, big day today :p Will post new updates in the evening, need to drive to another city now...
[HTC Sensation] alexander_sibags@mail.ru:
umm?:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
it appears to be worse. so is it just my device?
[HTC Sensation] luka1002:
done, S-off ,rooted and flashed with Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.7 XE !

Works good ,except battery. I use battery from XE model and still 12h life.. :(
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Try to charge to 100% and let it on charger another 20 Minutes. after that it should improve. I have the same battery and get about 30 hours with light use and 16 hours with moderate/medium use. If you really use the phone most of the time, 12h is a good result, you won't get more whatever you try.
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
My phone just weird about the battery life,

When my phone is charged to 99%,

it just stay on 99%..

but after i restart,the battery life turn back to 100%.

I have done the battery state wipe but it seem doesn't help.

Is this normal??
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
After each reboot my phone is unable to connect to my university's WPA enterprise WiFi until I enable "use secure login credentials" or something (Sichere Anmeldungsinformationen in German.) In the security settings. It's disabled after each reboot.

Is there a way to modify this to keep the setting or set default to true? maybe in the build.prop or something?... I'm on 4.1.7

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
3.6.7 is sense 3.0 and 4.1.7 is sense 3.5 and in 4.1.8 sense 3.5 is super fast :)
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Try reflashing the ROM again. Try taking out the casing if you have one.

Did you try the Wifi signal before you flashed the ROM?
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Mike you say 3.5 is super fast in 4.1.8 but is it as fast as Sense 3.0 in your other previous roms?

Really appreciate all your work btw - great job! Do you have any idea on when HTC are planning the official release of 3.5?

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

It could be your device but mine isnt great either. Did you have the same problem when you were on stock?
[HTC Sensation] haruryu:
You can also try Battery Calibration from the Market. install and follow instructions. It will fix the 99%. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I dont use sense 3.0 since a long time so cant tell :)
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Lol ok fair enough! Guess i'll have to find out for myself. Always been hesitent to swtich to 4.1x roms because speed is really important to me. Anyone else with experience of using both Sense versions?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That is a pity.

If you ever use it again ,you might want to use this:

:)
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
I've tried both and honestly I couldn't tell the difference. I ended up going with 4.1.7 sense 3.5 in the end. Very happy with it overall.
[HTC Sensation] hamyg84:
I find 4.1.7 a lot of force closes, once the new 3.6.8 is out I'll change back, any one else having problems with 4.1.7 or do you prefer 3.6.7
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
Hi guys,

Really annoying problem!!!!

I'm using this latest 3.6.7 4.1.7 sense 3.5 with a bricked 1.5 kernel

Everytime I press the top button to shut the screen it turns back on again!!!

Any fix's???

[HTC Sensation] ein777er:
Hi, mf2112!

... I think, you have to look at -/+ buffers....

regards
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I use both versions a lot and there are no GREAT differences.

It is just a question of how the ROM FEELS for YOU.

Do a nandroid backup and try them both out.

Each has their own particular virtues and qualities.

There is NO "better" one.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
I've been having the same issues with force closes using 4.1.7. I've just tried fix permissions from recovery (CWM) which is meant to fix the issue. Maybe give this a go yourself. I will report back in a day or two as to whether or not it has actually fixed the problem.

Apart from that, I really like 4.1.7.
[HTC Sensation] superman63:
very nice u shyd get jotha to add it to post 2
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
Hey guys...good morning to all of you.

One question...

Is latest faux kernel released? Where can i download it?
[HTC Sensation] I AM M07S:
Anyone else excited because of the suspense mike is thrusting upon us for the update .

IT'S KILLING ME :D
[HTC Sensation] superman63:
IMHO both are killer. i keep a recovery of 4.1.x but use 3.6.7. im not sure some apps are ready or running correctly with 3.5 sense but if mike says the new one flies you can bet it will smoke. maybe he has worked out some more kinks but everyone has their own favorite anyone with doubts try both
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
If your running Sense 3.5 then you are not using 3.6.7 as this is a Sense 3.0 build.

I havent experienced this issue but you could try a different kernel. I have the Faux kernel that comes with the Rom - works well for me.

can't tell no diffrence...yet :D

i'll let you know guys later! :)

Thanks Faux123!!

EDIT: Seems to be a less free memory in task manager? :/

Is that normal?
[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:
In some cases yes. It broke mine and all I had to do was pull the battery out.

Sometimes it refuses to wake the phone up with the power button
[HTC Sensation] beowolf:

Mine is still the same issue of "if I turn the screen off while in camera, I have to pull the battery or press both volume buttons plus the power button"
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
what version are you using?
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
The differences between the versions are mentioned in the thread.

Mainline: 1.56 GHz max.

Extreme: 1,78 GHz max.

Ultimate: 1,78 GHz max and GPU oc @ 320 MHz

I usually use the mainline edition, since it is fast enough for everything I do.
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
I think the less memory doesn't mean anything,RAM in android is not the same as in PC,there the more RAM that you have,the better will be PC performance,with android is opposite,RAM is used by applications so they can be launched faster etc.with latest Faux kernel my device is ultra fast..

I dont use Task manager Ever
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
I disagree with that...when my ram goes down nu phone is getting laggieer, so after i clear everything t is running smooth again ;)
[HTC Sensation] oFcAsHeEp:
147 free on my phone... With World War in background and CK Zombies installing their SD Card content....

Although you shouldn't worry yourself with memory much, I've never run out so far... Only when playing ShadowGun (very demanding 3d shooter) I noticed that the system removed even the Sense UI from memory to make space for that thing...but in the end, worked perfectly, just that Sense started from scratch every time upon exiting the game...

On normal use, I average about 100 mb free ram and very rarely does it go under 100, which is still PLENTY...

@Korrell

Android system handles RAM very differently than PCs do, people keep thinking that RAM works on Android same as it does on PC... If your phone is laggy, it's probably not because of the RAM, but most people confuse Android with PCs and suffer from a placebo effect...

Phones usually get laggy because something is hogging the CPU...if you kill everything, you probably killed the CPU hog aswell so your system is running smooth again, don't confuse that with free RAM :)

There's a good explanation of how Android RAM works somewhere, I don't have the link but I'm sure Google will help you in finding it... Search for "Why Task-killers are a bad thing on Android" you'll be amazed :)

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Words more true were rarely spoken :D.
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
There is useful Thread about using taskmanegers on xda,(will post a link)

All games which require lots of resources they all kill background process so they can work properly,you can use simple test to see how RAM Helps to run everything faster,try from homescreen go into phone,or sms,or anyother app,than use taskmaneger and reapet all that and you will see how longer it takes to launch same apps.

Cheers man..

im not sure =\ i rooted the moment i got my phone. im too confident in ARHD since desire HD. so do u guys suggest that i go back to stock to find about my wifi? is the range of the wifi of everybody's phone roughly the same as mine? i just got my white set, it is really very disappointing.

[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Well the only way to find out is to go back to stock and test it. Make a Nandroid backup of your current system, flash the RUU and see what happens. It will only take 2 mins to flash the recovery back then you can restore your backup.
