Dear Mike

Feedback for 3.1.1, it still works without any issues on my device, battery drain is amazingly good and even after heavy playing (angry birds) i have no issues at all. Not even one single unplanned reboot or such thing.

Great work!!
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I've gone to the XDA thread and developer's website and the last entries there are from months ago.

I like a lightweight phone, running as little as possible but the functionality is interesting. When was this updated to support newer kernels like Faux's and how?

Thanks.

P.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Actually XDA thread was updated yesterday! Same for web site. and there's recent activities on both as well!

Updated a couple of days ago with dual core support and this morning with new undervolting UI.

Now wondering about what you mean by 'how'... Coding for one, publishing an APK on Market and using a Sensation myself.

EDIT: XDA thread OP updated with latest list of features. And web site too.

Battery life has really improved, that's for sure!

using Faux 0.1.3 kernel, 1.7ghz edition

35h52 minutes of use, my battery is still 54% full :eek:

screen: 32%

gsm:26%

calls:3%

multimedia 2%

CF-bench: 2%

....and 12% of gaming!

My CPU is set to a max of 1.3ghz when screen ON, except the 2% of using CFbench where is was set to 1.7ghz, and 12% for other games set at 1.5ghz.

I'm pretty sure my battery will start decreasing much faster now, but it's already very good in my opinion!
[HTC Sensation] the_real_fosgate:
Hello 3c,

is undervolting possible in your "Free-Version"?

Or only in the "Full Version"?

Faster than htc Sense 3.0
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yes, I will be releasing ROM for Sensation based on Sense 3.5.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
hah thanks mate! :D
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Will HTC really release Sense 3.5 on our Sensation? Any date for that?
[HTC Sensation] Fab30:
Hi mike, When cen we expect new ROM? Will be based on Andoid 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? Thx
[HTC Sensation] musicTR:
Wow, after 35 hours of usage you still have 54% battery... That's amazing, I get maximum 12 hours with moderate usage. Under volted to -75000 and lowered the maximum CPU to 1.350 ghz. Hope that helps. What else I should do? :(
[HTC Sensation] baco200:
I asked about this before but got no anwser.

I have problems when I want to unlock my phone.

The ring of the lockscreen doesn´t work well.

I have to pull it up a few times before it comes up.

It seems that the touchscreen is less responsive, when I´m scrolling through the menu´s it workes perfect.

I had a screenprotector and it got a little better when I took it off, but still it´s not like it was. I first had this problem on arhd 3.0.3. after a few days I noticed this problem.

When I flashed 3.0.4 it was gone but came back after a day or 2.

I did a full wipe before I installed 3.11

Is this a hardware problem?

Does anybody have an idea?
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
what the .....

35 Hours ? thats like almost "impossible" :eek:

I'm only getting 12hrs on first day of 3.1.1 before hitting 0%

today is slightly better, with 12hrs usage i still got 49%

i hope mine's calibrating itself
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Do you still have the problem after a reboot?

Does the problem start after you charge the phone? And, if so, do you use the phone when charging? This is just a theory, but I think there may be a problem with current leakage when connected to the charger (I feel a tiny current leak when I rub the case). Having the phone in your hand when charging (connecting the case to the screen with your hand) may do some strange things to the touch-screen. If my theory is correct, then it should be corrected if you turn off your phone (fully, no fastboot), then restart. It may also be corrected by grounding your phone/screen after you remove it from the charger. If that doesn't work, shut off the phone, remove and re-insert the battery, and restart. Give it a try and let me know the result.
[HTC Sensation] miro_i:
Hey guys, what is your battery drain (measured with Battery Widget) when screen is off? Mine is 130 - 150mAh, i think this is too much.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Please check my sig...

:)
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
You need a patched/updated version of Battery Widget. The Sensation reports the wrong mA amount, and you need a version of the app which will compensate for it.

Mines coming any minute~ What should I do?

Hey guys, my sensation will be here any minute, fresh and out of box, what steps should I follow. Been reading this thread from the start and I'm only one third of the way through! Did Mike finallly get sensation. Should I let the new sensation update or will it lock me out of being able to use ROM? Please, PM me, for it will be a while until I'm caught up with the end of this thread and until I read full thread I will not flash phone, but I will be using it and need to know what not or what to do. Mike, I always make donations if the ROM brings me joy! Let me know, thanks, help very much appreciated. Peace V;)
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Screen being at 32% means you hardly ever use your phone. It must of been in standby for atleast 30 outta 35 hours. My screen level has never been below 70%
[HTC Sensation] JayBachatero:
To those getting excellent battery life, what do you have syncing? Do you have sync enabled for HTC Sense? On average I get about 12 hours worth of moderate usage. I only have the weather/clock widget and the battery widget on my screen also.

Htc sync - contacts issue

Hi all.

I'm not sure It's related to this rom or is a general issue with HTC SYNC...

Also this is my first experience with Android.

Just installed this great rom, I've synced with Outlook using HTC SYNC and it wont sync all contacts I have, but only 60 % of them (1200 out from 2100) !!

Any Idea of what I can do to have all of them synced ??
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
You did say 'Epic Fail' without further explanations... So you were only spamming... But hey my friend, that's what you do when you fail to make something work.

You did it again :D

Fact: you know nothing... :D

So you do things perfectly, all others... :D

Proof: super wipe does remove some secure data on SD card, which can quite mess up a ROM flash! But you know better to not follow recommendations!

I could pick all your posts like that for days, so hilarious! Good luck my friend!

PS: Sorry for spamming this thread a little. Great ROM, have been using this with Lee's kernel for days now. Not a single problem! Great work Mike!

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

So as mentioned before, need to upgrade to 1.85 and apply 'mA corrections' which implements a work-around to HTC's bug.

Check the files in /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current and /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_attr_text

It contains the mA reported by the kernel! On all other devices but the Sensation this data is very accurate in standby! NOT on the Sensation.

Now you did learn something today.
[HTC Sensation] tissimo:
38% display? how much screen on time, 20 minutes?

I say this over and over again, when listing time off charge, list screen on time as well. You can easily get 24hrs on a charge with it just sitting on a desk, or probably as little as 5-6 hrs with 5 hrs of screen on time.

On average I get about 14-15 hrs on a charge with about 2 hrs screen on time. Normal texts, forums reading, couple calls, occasional youtube vid. This was on 3.0.3 with Faux 0.1.0.. Flashed 3.1.1 last night, but assume itll be about the same.

[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Totally agree, maybe we could use Battery Monitor Widget and the graphics it can display, such as the one attached!?

By the way a good friend opened this thread, so we can discuss battery times there instead of cluttering this thread? Just an idea anyway?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
I read about that we have to turn fastboot off ?

I think I never heard about turning it off ?

Is it useful to turn that off ?

Where can I do that ?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Settings -> Power

I always keep it turned off. Fastboot hibernates so when you switch off and on again, it comes out of hibernation rather than doing a full boot.

When I turn my phone off, it's usually because I want to restart into recovery ;) or change the battery (in which case hibernation is lost anyway). I almost never switch my phone off otherwise, so fastboot is basically useless for me.
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Search for large mms fix, and flash the file via recovery. Follow instructions in the thread, otherwise it will not work.

"How do I reach these kids"- Cartmen.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
Ah ok ... So it doesn't mean I have to disable it in recovery or another place ? In boot manager maybe?

Mmhh ok ... I thought I missed something.

Btw: I use Rom manager to boot into recovery :)
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
I hope we get sensation second edition too ... I think we can easily use the kernel from it then which runs at 1.5ghz

And I hope for better overall system performance too.

Does anyone know when it cones out?
[HTC Sensation] miro_i:
@3c, Mike stated there is no need of super wipe after installing from 3.x.x. I'm just following the instructions. Do you know it better than the rom author?

Woah where did you get that? 0.o
[HTC Sensation] supendal:
You usually have to wipe if you're experiencing problems and others are not.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
It means exactly what sowen said. Just untick the box in power and you're done
[HTC Sensation] JayBachatero:
Notice tho that he had 37% of voice. So it seems like they balanced out.

I'm interested in seeing if anyone has good battery life with HTC Sense sync enabled.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
I always wipe. Less problematic not that hard to do.

I find HTC Sync a very frustrating program to use,but unfortunately,it's a necessity.

Whenever it plays up with me,I uninstall it,then re-install and it generally cures any problems.

Try it,and see.

[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
I know this will come off sounding extremely stupid, but for some reason I have brought myself to a confused stupor. Does the -75 undervolt the most cause its taking it down 75, or is the -25 the most undervolted cause the 25 indicates it running at the lowest of the voltages? Silly sounding I know, but thought I'd ask.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Just flash over, it simply replaces the file that sets uv settings. Won't take effect until reboot
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I always wipe because I use ROMCleaner script.

The script reinstalls all my apps and mods after flash. All that is left is to sign on to mail and google accounts, set lockscreen, wallpaper, then redo my 7 screens. Takes about 5 minutes.

It may be excessive, but all you have to do is read all the posts with issues people have after a flash. With a fresh, clean flash, I have never (so far) had any problems whatsoever. No freezes, no reboots, everything works, data connections perfect.

Maybe I'm ok with it because I used to flash CM nightlies on my old device.

Different strokes, I guess.

P.
[HTC Sensation] BIGMOH:
Do a factory restore, from boot and then re flash the new ROM from zip on SD.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
-75 is most uved , -25 is the least. The zips cannot be "combined", flashing -75 then -25 will not set a -100mv uv, it uses whatever the last flash was so this example would result in a -25 uv cause the -75 mv setting was overwritten by the -25. hope that's more clear
[HTC Sensation] WillardZ:
You might try stock kernel. That fixed it for me.

Edit: Maybe some of our processore don't like OC. At least mine doesn't.
[HTC Sensation] baco200:
This didn't work for me, I took of the silicon case and that seemed to improve. When I touch only the screen it's not working. When i hold the phone in my hand it works. Maybe it has something to do with the back cover??

I have been trying to read through this entire thread, even though I find it frustratingly long. My sensation will be in my hands any minute and I';m still miles away from where these post's are appearing. And if anyone would take the care and time I am, and respect for the person that is cooking this ROM, probably months of hours, to read all this, probably a good four or five days of reading for about four hours a day, they would not be asking this kind of question, for even I know the answer to this one and I'm not even half way through all this thread, Really please, don't donate, don't read, let everyone else suffer your impatience and blame the ROM when you have a problem. Very hard to read through posts like these and I've already seen plenty, just saying. Still waiting for the PM from mike, my sensation will be at my door any minute and I don't even know if I should turn it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't want to cause anything not to be able to flash........... God probably won't see the information to this post for another couple of days, but I'll keep on trucking through this drama of a thread, wish someone would just make it into a movie!!!!!!!!:p
[HTC Sensation] ch4kk:
hi boys, i was just wondering - since the screen uses the most of the battery, will undervolting have a significant impact on battery drain?

my battery stats regularly report the screen using upwards of 70%, so any batt savings from undervolting would be confined to the other 30% (in my example, at least).

adding the potential stability issues... i dunno... is it worth it? make no mistake, i'm not knocking the idea, and i'm truly appreciative of all the devs have accomplished... just thinking that sometimes, we might get caught up with all the nitty gritty details, that we might miss the big picture?

Thoughts?

I've had my HD2 for almost two years and never used any screen protection and to this day it remains without the slightest scratch! And while thinking about it, is there any way to really remove all the finger grease from these phones, I mean yes I use a cloth to smear it around and it looks fine directly but if held up in a dark room with screen off you can see that the grease is just spread more evenly around the screen but not eliminated. Just wondering, back on topic, where ever you guys may be, hopefully I'll be there soon. Hope this phone don't do anything stupid while I get caught up on this long azz thread!:)

Hey guys! I undervolted my phone by 75mV and I stress it with StabilityTest, I use the scaling test between 384mhz and 1566mhz. It reboots after about 10 minutes, did it 2 times. So I guess it's not stable...

Then I undervolted the phone by 50mV and I did exactly the same test, it took 38 minutes before it reboot, I also did it 2 times, it took exactly the same time... Do you think in this case I can consider the phone being stable?

I'm gonna try with undervolt of 25mV to have an idea
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
Maybe it´s a thermal reboot?
[HTC Sensation] Masrawy:
Okay undervolting by 25mV took 39 minutes before reboot... I don't know what was the temperature at reboot, but 10 minutes ago it was about 38 or 39...

I don't have any thermal patch, but I know with other kernels, I could go up to 45-48C before it reboots!

do you think the thermal patch will help?

Looks like it hasn't been asked for a while but anything you can tell us about what might be in the works? I reverted back to 3.0.1 to have the WiFi calling work correctly and to get better stability. I guess for some the custom kernels aren't ready for prime time.

Battery

I had bad battery no matter what rom since ARHD 3.0. I did all the tricks in the faq and what not. I did a super wipe before i updated to 3.1.1 and my battery is last forever. had my Anker in for almost 20 hrs(untouched for 7 hrs) my stock htc battery is lasting longer too. Note on this install i did not do any of the battery apps\widgets to monitor it. I have exchange and 3 pop emails hitting every 15 minutes and other than that nothing else other than normal use i.e. calls, web, games etc... no a ton of usage on it yet but the battery is at least double what it has been since i was on the 3.0 ROM. Just my .02

Hey,

Just wanted to say mike, 3.1.1 is great, this first time i used revolution and I will not be switching to any other rom now... its fantastic.

Been using it for the last 2 days now and no issues, battery life is great too:D

To the other posters, I have been trying out lots of roms, and everytime i do it, I always wipe all cache's, except for factory restore, including the davik (under advanced), and then to a full wipe, and for every extra zip file i install, and wipe the cache's again, and then once more after, and I never had any issues...

But im sticking with his rom!!!
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Yeah. Not that hard. Wer'e just the end users. What the devs do is hard. I wiped and set up probably 4 times working with patric diagnosing a few things with the ROM cleaner yesterday.

If you want an easy way to uv you can delete the virtuous_oc folder from system/ect and remove the daemon controller then grab system tuner from the market. It has option to set the CPU clock and uv very easy
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
If you're upgrading from an AHRD 3.x.x version, then, after a wipe, you can also just restore the Sense screen data using Titanium Backup. Provided you've also restored your apps, then the screen layout will be restored (with the exception of the widgets).
[HTC Sensation] meteor999:
^ Could you explain how
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
+1

This is the best my phone has ever run.

Using Daemon Controller @1.512, UnderVolt 50mV, ROMCleaner to get rid of lots of unwanted stuff.

Phone is dead stable, smooth, fast, runs very cool and battery use is very good. A normal day, normal usage 100% > 25% takes 15 hours or more, so 6am to 9pm without worrying about battery. Heavy use gives me 12 hours or better.

Menus and applications open instantly, Browsing is almost like being on a wired desktop computer.

Thanks so much, Mike.
