But for now can we use stock kernel for 3.0.4 ?
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
I will try this. I'm aware of the battery not actually being full when it says 100% but I will stress on it more to see if I get better cycles.

I still think your battery is a lot better than mine. I realize that if a person doesn't take the necessary procedures during first week of owning phone can cause bad battery life in the long run.
[HTC Sensation] daftdrew:
With the 3.0.3 my battery life was excellent, since installing 3.0.4 my battery life has taken a real hit. Think I will have to go back to 3.0.3.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I go to bed with 60+% battery left, and this is with a lot more browsing/calls/SMS/emails in the evening. I should also add I'm on WiFi wherever possible (Home, work, pub) so I try not to use 3G much
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
I never judge a battery's goodness by the time I get on it compared to others... Doesn't mean much as comparing one phone's setup (app, tweaks, kernel, oc) and usage to another is quite impossible!

So I usually go in standby/plane mode first to check battery consumption, should be between 1 and 5mA. If not, somethings wrong: an app keeps phone running, a component is still on (wifi, gps, etc).

Then I check in standby with everything on (better have wifi policy to turn off), should be below 10mA with WIFI automatically shuting down or 20-50mA with WIFI really on all the time!

Then when using the phone it's a whole other story! A LCD consumes 240mA+ and a LED from 80 to 300mA! So you may read an email for 1 minute while another person will use 10 minutes! Hence getting very very different battery time then!

That reminds me of comments I saw on Android Market! If you can't make it work, no reason to release your anger here, everybody would have been happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
lol will do
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
hey mike its not that i want high quadrant scores but it its that games are lagging to and having fps drops so the low quadrant score is saying the same. the interface performance is really superb but as said games are running bad :(
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm pretty sure it's kernel related because I did no changes that could affect games performance. You're saying that with SetCPU games performance is good?
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
right on set cpu with your newest rom games are running as they should (no lagging at all) and if oc'ed to 1.7ghz gives me fake or no fake (dont know about this kernel matter) quadrant scores about 3200 on your rom too! but deinstalling setcpu and letting de damon do the work results in quadrant about 1000 and laggy and lows fps in games
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Are you using any goves or profiles with SetCPU?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Ace thanks man :)
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
changed it, went from 248kb/s to 2.17mb/s. Thanks man. Anyway to beef it up a little bit more or am i just pushing my luck :)?

*EDIT* went back down to 300kb/s .. : /
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
just ondemand for normal use and performance for checking some benchis :D

ondemand on setcpu is working normally too

and on quadrant scores about 2500 and games run really perfectly smooth
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok then try 128

/system/xbin/echo "128" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Try playing with governors with Deamon Tool. Try interactive and performance while playing the games.
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:
I can confirm that I have this behavior also... with SetCPU, Quadrant score easily hit >3000 but without it, the score varies from 900 to 1400...
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
go to settings>about phone>software information>more
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
So in user interface O/C Daemon is winning but when it comes to games SetCPU behaves better... that's strange but I will do my best to investigate it :)
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
tried that already but no matter which governour i set on the daemon tool the performance still stays laggy. also even i set really low frequencies (about 500mhz) quadrant stays at abouut 1000 but the interface is getting laggy too so i think setting frequencies works

exactly thats the issue. As i am not gaming that much at the moment i will continue using the daemon as the interface performance is really great :)

even though i set the damon to 684mhz it stays smooth too on the interface!!! thats really amazing as in stock rom it started lagging under 1000mhz already. Great work though on this rom i really like it :) gonna buy u a beer if u can fix that issue on low gaming performance :)
[HTC Sensation] madmarinero:
excellent ROM ...thanks Mike ...quadrant score : 2872 (1.5 OC daemon) ...smooth ...no lags in apps or games ...battery life incredible (45% right now after 6 hours of web browsing / games / phone calls /video camera surveillance and a 5min HD sample played with Dice) ...everything's working fine (I don't care about flash :p) ...I will definitely stay with this ROM for a long period …my donation is on the way ...once again thanks Mike ...you saved my Sensation (I was tempted to throw it away and buy a SGS2 after 5 years of using exclusively HTC phones) ...BIG THANKS once again
[HTC Sensation] jermx:
Mike, any sneak previews on what is your plan for next few versions of ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Out of interest, are you using Chainfire 3D for your games? Maybe this can improve performance?
[HTC Sensation] madmarinero:
As I promised ...the donation was done ...confirmation no. 5AX62196Y6816051G ...thanks Mike ;)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Who is using daily the cpu OC ? I mean, have low frequencies when screen is off is good for the battery.

But OC CPU will kill your battery and a 1,2Ghz Dualcore isn't enough...for now of course :p ?
[HTC Sensation] kaospiloten:
First day with 1.1.3

Used it alot today with Spotify and my BT Plantronics headset, CoPilote GPS, calls, mail, camera (w/o flash :D ) Quadrant score is 2392 with Daemon OC to 1500.

4 hours since last charging, calls 50%, screen 40% and have 55% left on battery.

I have no lag and its super smooth, but I pulled my battery 3 times last nite to make it stable. Really happy with this ROM. Thanks Mike
[HTC Sensation] miro_i:
I cannot get 24h with 1 charge, the 3.0.1 was much better as i had 36-48 hours - same usage. Phone gets really hot just for 5 minutes screen on, how else to comment this rom release then?

Who needs these overclocks (including GPU) while battery drains so fast?

It was fail, that is.

Edit: Forgot to mention - charge from 5% to 100% takes 3+ hours, it was faster before.
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Agreed! ^^

Well I'm definitely going to do some more testing myself with the troubleshooting tips you provided above. :)
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Maybe you should try asking for help and troubleshooting tips?

That's what I'm doing. It's a lot easier believe me. You're not going to get anywhere on XDA by *****ing.
[HTC Sensation] miro_i:
It is waste to ask for help as no one could help. O/C eats battery, I prefer more juice than getting above SGS2 in benchmarks :D
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
Hey guys is this battery safe to buy? http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Momax-X-Leve...659348?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e66241414 :O I've been wondering since many have replacement battery issues only with the 1900mah batteries, what about the 1700mah ones?
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
So do I, but there are people here that have their phones at almost the exact setting I have and yet they have extremely better battery life than I.
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
'OC' to 1.5ghz is ok though :) after all our phones are meant to be running at 1.5ghz. underclocking it is imprisoning potential ;)
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Totally mate! :D
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
Same problems here!

Fast draining and a hot phone
[HTC Sensation] RucaNebas:
Mike,

Do you thing that this issue will be resolved with the new kernel?
[HTC Sensation] romskii:
hopefully in the next version are no temperature problems :) so is 2.3.5 coming or do you stay on 2.3.4?
[HTC Sensation] TcG71:
Stripes on display...

Right after flashing 3.0.4 (full wipe before installing 3.0.3 a few days ago, now updating 3.0.3) I've got stripes on the home screen [especially on second screen]. May be OC complications ?

After flashing stock kernel the display seems ok again...
[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
I keep getting a black screen other than the status and app title bar and buttons lite up.complications from a mod?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
How else? You just did comment it in a more useful way than just 'epic fail'!

Who needs OC is the wrong question: who wants it is less judgmental. In any case the kernel section includes stock kernel, why don't you try it?

Mine charges in 2h15 minutes as before! So maybe you installed some bad apps consuming more than it should or simply it's a bad flash?!

Did you run good full calibration cycles? Did you check your wifi setup and any components that does impact battery badly?

Before blaming anyone/anything I'd rather try to investigate the real source of the issue, certainly when I see so many happy users around.

Haven't seen you actually ask for help either. And forget it no-one will ever go above SGS2 benchmarks, except considering a stock SGS2 maybe, but what's the deal anyway?

Maybe time to ask yourself the right question: do you want/need a custom ROM? Then go where you find happiness? Does that make sense?
[HTC Sensation] NeoBlade:
Must admit standby/idle battery life on 3.0.4 isn't as good as 3.0.1, however I'm sitting on it as there is some great work being done on the kernel side! Once more is known about how to control the dual cores then battery life will come back.

As with others I've had quite a few black screens but will live with it. Great work all round though from Mike and Faux ^_^
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
New ROM coming today with new kernel. Already in tests.
[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
Thanks mike this one seems rather temperamental...maybe its one of the old mods or no lock screen app I use
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
I'm very excited about this! :)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Yeahhhhhh I'm starting to shiver, I need to flash!!! :D

Will this include a coffe machine and a 3d holographic beam? No? So I wonder how you will improve your ROM further, it's already perfect for me!!!
[HTC Sensation] miro_i:
I installed 3.0.4, i do not want install any kernels. I wanted to use the rom "AS-IS", 3.0.1 worked perfect.

No bad apps installed, everything is like my 3.0.1 install (i did not wiped and .4 started with same apps as .1)

I did a calibration cycle, however Mike says it's not needed.

What to check about wifi? Same settings as 3.0.1 - i set it to never sleep, but anyways i do not leave it on when not needed.

Reading a book with FBreader for 5 minutes makes the phone hot and battery drains with 2-3%, it was not like that in 3.0.1 rom. Reading a website makes the phone even hotter and battery drains faster - could be the wifi in the new rom. Old one was working better.

As you see many people have same issues, if you keep your phone sleeping in your pocket and turn it on to check the o/c performance - this is not how the other people including me use their phones.

3.0.4 is just a fail, that is! I prefer to explain these issues instead if listening to your advices about happiness, this is called progress.

Keep your phone in the pocket and be happy how fast and stable is it ;)
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
3.0.3 used Stock Kernel ...

3.0.4 has faux123 0.1.0

stock kernel has better battery life but faux123 0.1.0 is a better kernel.

Wait for new release that Mike is prepping ... new release is based on new kernel sources for HTC ...

You won't die of charging your phone more often than usual :)
[HTC Sensation] code_monkey74:
Very cool. Curious what other changes besides new kernel.....
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
For me it was the CRT Mod 0.1 causing black screens.
[HTC Sensation] romskii:
first time i've installed this ROM i got errors and errors, cause i had setcpu und advanced task killer and crt animations.

Now without them and a fresh flash procedure everything is great, only the phone gets even after thermal patch a little bit warm, but not hot anymore, waiting for 3.05 :)))
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
+1, hard to wait :D
[HTC Sensation] grieflar:
Any way to do screenshots with this ROM? (Power + Home)?

What's the recommended kernel as of today? Performance with stock kernel is far from good.
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Sweet dude! Now i can get my flash fix again today, started to shake already!

Looking forward to all the fixed issues :)
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Awesome, that's quietly brilliant! Hehe, are you using the stock kernel or does faux123 let you use his unreleased v0.1.1?
[HTC Sensation] xenoman:
concerning some radio-related-questions:

first used the recommended radio and had random call aborts which was very bad! then switched to radio 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 and never had call aborts again. phone never got very hot, too. but battery life never was very impressive.

are there other people out there using the european sensation with the recommended radio but without call aborts? what about their battery life?

or are they using a radio that is not mentioned in this thread but which is also very good in combination with ARHD 3.0.4?

thanx for any help.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I thought the thermal daemon limited the max temperature to protect the CPU, not raised it for performance.
[HTC Sensation] Floris-k:
Just had a black screen lock like others posted before.

Had to pull the battery for a reboot...

Looking forward to the new ROM
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
I am using the radio mentioned in this thread and so far looking good: 6h 40m and at 83% now.

Faux123 Kernel

Version 0.1.2 (Coming NO ETA, Official GB2.3.4)

Re-Based on HTC MR release!

Introducing Joe's RCU (designed for aSMP architecture)

Re-patched HTC MR release 2.6.35.13 to kernel.org 2.6.35.14

GPU 2D/3D is now same as stock (due to screen tearing issues experienced by some users)

CAF msm: clock-8x60: Refresh PDM and TSSC halt bits at boot

CAF msm: 8660: Add barriers to SMP boot code

CAF msm: clock-local: Add memory barriers for later move to _relaxed accessors

CAF ARM: SMP: Make resched-ipi-while-offline warning less verbose

CAF msm: clock-8x60: Vote for mmfpb_a_clk at 64MHz

CAF mmc: core: put eMMC in sleep (cmd5) mode before suspend

CAF msm: clock-8x60: Don't disable clocks in reg_init
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
everyone want better battery life just underclocking cpu from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
None of those, it limits CPU frequency when temperature limits are reached.

BUT the stock thermal config is so limiting that it was very hard to reach the OC'ed frequencies of faux123 kernels! So removing it or tweaking it released the CPU to use those higher frequencies for longer period of time!

With stock config, I often noticed the CPU going down to 972MHz only! Thus getting lower performance than a full stock ROM!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Already on my device. Runnig sweet :D

[HTC Sensation] mbatson:
Loving the ROM so far mike, fast, stable and good battery life! Give us 3.0.5 already :p
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
That's probably why HTC clocked the stock kernel at 1.2 GHz. The new :confused:exclusive:confused: version of the Sensation with free headphone will have better bat. and will run at 1.5 GHz...
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I don't understand all this negativity. 3.0.4 is a good product. It is even more so considering the experimental nature of the kernel.

It flashed with no isssues, ran well from the first, and has been fast, smooth and stable for me.

I did find a few occasions where I ran hot, so I tried stock thermal daemon and lost jobs of speed. I got rid of that and ran for about a day without with no issues, but I don't actually play games or anything.

Put Faux's modified thermal files in and got everything I wanted.

Looking forward to new build and kernel, but I wanted you to know that not everyone was dissatisfied.

Ps. I called my wife at lunch yesterday and a man answered. Is this ROM or kernel related?

P.

New Kernel Sources

I'm glad to hear that HTC released the new kernel source. I hope this release is a good one.

Time will tell :rolleyes:

Mike and Faux123 will mix together and bring us a beauty once again ...

Thanks for the hard work.
[HTC Sensation] TcG71:
Update: same problem after installing P3D - seems only my two non HTC widgets (MultiCon & SmoothCalendar) shows this problem. Running IC 2.4.2 last time even using faux123 kernel (without OC daemon) doesn't show this kind of problem. May be OC daemon related ?

Spontaneous SD card unmount

Sometimes I see that my SD card is getting unmounted without any reason. Android is showing a warning about safe removal... I saw it at least twice running Dead Space and it is not always reproducible... In order to mount it back I need to reset Android, since I cannot do it from Settings page and physical switch off/on of the SD does not help...

Could it be related to the ROM or that's a bug with SD?

I have the same. Did not see it with 3.0.3. Actually I had 2 widgets glitching,, but I removed and added the first one and that's cleared the problem. I need to check it with HTC Energy widget...
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
1) You need Bootloader S-off by Revolutionary OR ENG-OFF

2) You have to deinstall htc sync,

only left htc drivers installed

.

3) Then you can flash Radio with adb.

ARHD 3.0.4 issue

Hi,

With 3.0.3 the PC Internet passthrough was working well, but not with 3.0.4...:-(

Any fix pls?
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
There isnt only quadrant benchmark you know? Besides, quadrant has became the most inaccurate running on any Gingerbread device.
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
This is due to the kernel, should be fixed with new kernel source in 3.0.5 coming soon today :)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I could have sworn seeing a 4000 on someone's OCed quadrant....

Anyways, its BS for the SGS2 people to constantly call things in LARGE favor of the SGS2 when the Sensation is STILL waiting for GENUINE and PROPER support for its special CPU. I mean seriously, how fair is that? The SGS2 came out WORKING the way it was supposed to work, not rushed for the masses like the Sensation was.

Ill bet money that when its all said and done, the Sensation will either match the SGS2 or only fail it in benchmarks. (Who gives a crap about benchmarks when they fail to match actual use?)

Enough SGS2 people, your phone has little room left whereas ours is still being developed.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yeap, Quadrant is a turd. Never the same score twice!

CF bench gave me a 7111 with 3.0.4 + faux v10 1.5Ghz, but usually its in the 6900 range. The web browser seems to be where the speed has gone. My stock browser is fast as heck! Since I use my phone mostly for web browsing, Im happy as heck! ;)
