I'm am no such thing... I think perhaps you should first watch the Video titled:

'You are a NOOB on XDA-Developers'

before you post anything. This issue must have appeared 100s of times on this forum. It would be sensible to use the search feature in future to prevent the forum getting clogged up with the same old topics... I mean it is taking an age now to find anything which is new and worth reading on the sensation forums.

It is not my intention to cause harsh feelings towards other members. However, it's just sometimes easier to convey a point with a slight bit of sarcasm (a concept I know some folk find difficult to grasp) than doing what I am now and stating the obvious about the fact that you should search the forum before posting. IF your issue isn't already in the forum, or it is not particularly related, then you need to post a clear and decisive thread, detailing all of your issues. However I can assure you this has been posted many times in the past week or so and I'm getting sick and tired reading the same old thing!! I'm sorry if I upset you or dented your ego; you'll survive :)

I hope you continue to enjoy the forum, just as I intend to do myself

Thanks and again I'm sorry for portraying 'stick up my :eek:' behaviour (perhaps a tad extreme response from yourself), just my way of communicating a message; which in future I'll bear in mind because I now know it can cause irrational responses from people, something which I personally do not aspire to cause.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Regards,

Hayden

p.s.

I have no intention of being a Mod - to much hassle. I would like to note that many Mods on this forum would have given a similar response that I just have - USE THE SEARCH, it's there for a reason!!
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Well said hayden. he is right noobs. I think you should have read the forum rules first laid out by the mods. Read other threads. If your issuer isn't there then post and we will be more than happy to help

Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
Search wasn't working earlier. I looked through the first four pages with nothing similar to either of these posts on here.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
search has been down but teh googler works nice
[HTC Sensation] hurrpancakes:
Back on track... I have the same issue as the op (putting my palm over the top of the phone with my fingers on the back causes my wifi signal to decrease) I noticied it before reading this thread because the wifi calling notification would randomly show up while connected to wifi
[HTC Sensation] ITMedCEO:
Hmmm... this may call for a Recall by HTC... in return for Unlocked Bootloader Sensation Replacements.
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
Mine will be delivered tomorrow so I cannot do any testing right now but by any chance is there a way to change the power setting on wifi? If it is in power saver mode or something similar it could be more susceptible to interference.

Different phones but my HD2 had some weird quirks on Wifi till I forced it to full power on wifi.

Might not help but its something to look at perhaps.
[HTC Sensation] sly5789:
No problems on wi-fi, so far so good, after unlock it will be perfect.
[HTC Sensation] nxoc01:
power boost

Yea, 10332007 you nailed it... I went to settings > wifi settings > Menu > Advanced and turned on "Best wifi performance" and then it would only drop one bar. (previously dropped 3). battery sucker, but it does decrease the severity of the issue, besides I'd expect some drop in signal with my meaty paws in the way.
[HTC Sensation] pixel-painter:
No real criticism intended, but I would like to point out a slight flaw in your argument. I am not what I would consider a noob, and I am searching for the very same answer.

Had you actually been nice enough to help this person, you would also help others that are searching for this information too. We all have to wade through a ton of false leads when trying to hunt this type of info down. I find there is quite a bit to sort through sometimes, and it is people that are kind enough to answer these questions (noob or not) that also help so many others.

It seems that this is the spirit in which this community was built upon, I see so many angry and irritable people around this forum these days... it is such a shame.

In this situation, you would not only have helped a noob, but you would have saved time for all the other folks that are trying to locate this info and read the title of this post. :)
[HTC Sensation] durps:
I think he gets it now, guys.

This was his first time posting, relax. Hopefully from now on he'll use the search feature, but for now the least you can do is just help the guy out AND advise him about the search feature. Let's not scare away a new forum member.

Wish I could help you, but I am only getting my Sensation next week.
[HTC Sensation] kurtis.austin2:
I don't have this problem at all. Have tried and tried to replicate it, but can't. Glad I don't have this problem.
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
My WiFi constantly is getting dropped. Even when it's just sitting on my desk in front of me. So I'm not even touching it (not death grip related). I'm about 15 feet away from the router. Anyone else having issues?

Here's the distance I am from the router: http://twitpic.com/5che9y
[HTC Sensation] cirrob:
Do you guys read this board or do you come here, close your eyes, and then post?
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
Search was down, and I didn't see anything on the first four pages.
[HTC Sensation] HaydenE:
How about the rest of the internet?!?

Every good tech site has reported possible problems with the Sensation having 'DEATH GRIP' issues...
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
I'm not touching my phone and the wifi is going out. Not death grip related.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Check this out

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sensation+death+grip
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
Yeah, check this one out:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=oHg5SJYRHA0&l=1
[HTC Sensation] ramses99:
well mines death grip related. but still notice drop now and again next to router also. But this isn't my first HTC that the radio and wifi antenna aren't the greatest.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
You made me do this :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
hahaha. Yeah, I haven't been on active in about a year or so, but not so much a noob :). First thing I did was a search (which is down right now) and hit the first few pages to see if any topics had anything in the title. I guess I could have done a google "site:xda-developers sensation wifi" search.

So.... How many out there are having non death grip related wifi issues?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
LOL

Yes there are and will be a influx of newbs because of this phone but it won't be the last time either....

Back to topic.

Some may have wifi issues and is warranted. No I am not talking about the death grip issue, just that there is an option on the phone to increase reception by going to the advanced menu of the wifi setting. There is a toggle that reads to the likes of wifi best performance.

This is probably for some instances where wifi is weak but some should try and report back if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] allholy1:
Yeah, I've got that sucker checked, and am still having the same issue.
[HTC Sensation] bendotson:
Yes! I have posted another thread about this somewhere in the last 24 hours. I am having wifi issues. My download speeds seem to drop to <10% of normal and the only way to fix it is to cycle wifi off and on. Upload speeds remain the same. This problem is definitely not death grip related since the phone is on a table for most of these tests.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have read recent threads to see if tmo has your correct IMEI on file as well as an updated SIM card. I did both yesterday. I activated the sim I had that came with the phone and confirmed that the IMEI was indeed correct on tmo's system. I did this via live chat.

After doing that, my data has been pretty constant. No hangups here. I use wifi both at home and at work and connect without a hitch.
[HTC Sensation] Turbo Brian:
same issue here. phone is on my desk here at home about 6 ft from my router and it just drops randomly. its quite annoying. im not touching it so its not deathgrip. though it has done it while im holding the phone vertcially (that is, not holding the top where the antenna is). for some reason i have a hard time getting anything other than edge in my house so i have the wifis on all the time.
[HTC Sensation] bendotson:
Wifi. Not the mobile network. IMEI has nothing to do with it.
[HTC Sensation] Turbo Brian:
well, since i have the option, i decided to try another router. i was using a linksys/cisco e3000 with dd-wrt firmware. the 2.4 radio was the only one on and it was set to g-only. i still have my old linksys wrt54gl sitting around so i plugged it in a little bit ago. obviously 2.4 g-only mode and this is also running dd-wrt. ive been fiddling with my phone here in the same 6ft range and ive not had one drop. perhaps its a router specific issue? i dunno. ill see if i have any more issues tomorrow
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
I made a thread about my wifi issues a week ago when I got the phone, but I'll join in here too.

My phone just refuses to actually associate with a network most of the time. Stellar signal strength, something else is going on.

the WiFi status menu accessed by dialing *#*#4636#*#* may be able to help some of you.

Mine will say the following:

then

Network State: Disconnected

Supplicant State: SCANNING

Network State: Disconnected

Supplicant State: ASSOCIATED

then:

Network State: Connecting to [insert name of wireless network here]

Supplicant State: ASSOCIATED

then back to:

Network State: Disconnected

Supplicant State: SCANNING

When it is in "ASSOCIATED" state, it lists a signal strength, BSSID, link speed, and MAC address of the AP. No IP address of course, it doesn't get that far. The scan results shows about 30 entries (half a screen full of tiny text) all the same SSID, one per AP and the APs are all over (big tech company with a very solid network).
[HTC Sensation] Turbo Brian:
just to update, ive had my sensation running on my old router for about 4 hours now (with the "best wifi performance" option OFF even) and not a single drop, even holding landscape. it seems the phone and either the e3000 or the version of dd-wrt on the e3000 have issues working nicely together.
[HTC Sensation] eltodd:
I'm experiencing the issue where my wifi bandwidth drops to a very slow (roughly 300 kbs) rate after spending some time on my wifi network. Restarting wifi on my Sensation immediately resolves the issue, only for it to crop up again sometime later.

On the topic of it being a router issue, my home network is 2 WRT54GLs WDS'd together (running Tomato) that offers no issue for any other computer or phone.

I returned my first Sensation that was experiencing the issue and received a second, which acts in the same manner.

Quite frustrating, as I rely heavily on wifi at home as even my cellular reception is not the best where I live, forget data, and use wifi and wifi calling to get by.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I use wifi all day and haven't had any speed problems. Just did some tests and speedtest app shows some fluctuation but no degradation over time. Using a Medialink router.
[HTC Sensation] eltodd:
It seems to me to be correlated loosely with wifi-calling use.

It certainly isn't instant, but I've been testing it off and on and it seems that if I turn wifi calling off and then restart my wifi the gradual slowdown doesn't occur, but if I turn wifi calling on, then it does.
[HTC Sensation] The Illest 619:
think im having the same problem many others have.. while on wifi if i hold my phone a certain way it drops dramatically if not all together.

never had a problem with a phone and "death grip" until now.
[HTC Sensation] s10shane:
well i just got my sensation 4g today and right off the bat i got wifi issues. i noticed without my case it gets about 2 to 3 bars in my kitchen and as soon as i put my case on its down to 1 or the little dot lol. then it disconnects. but yet i got my gfs mytouch 4g next to my phone and hers has 3 bars and doesnt have that issue. idk whats going on but it bothers me a bit. lol
[HTC Sensation] ctscloud:
Same here, same problem...I tried the suggestion on the faq no go :(
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:
I also got the same problem...

But try this: Settings - Wireless & Network - Wi-Fi Settings then tap MENU button at the bottom... Tap Advance...

So at Wi-Fi sleep policy, I set as NEVER and tick for checkbox Best Wi-Fi performance...

Now I can get a rid this problem....
[HTC Sensation] samomamo:
I had so may phones non of them had any problem connecting and staying connected this is the only phone that is dropping WiFi its getting on my nerves I'm thinking takin it back . This is frustrating any phone we buy this days have some **** not working.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobhilton6969:
Not sure if this is the place to ask or not but I'm going to try....

and the search feature still is not working

"Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes."

Setup:

CM7-06152011 (RC0.6)

1.16.00.0223r

Kernel 2.6.35.13 CM/Slayher

I understand this is a "Pre-Alpha". I really don't understand why though. It runs freaking smooth, I've only found 2 bugs.

What I'm wondering is this....

I use QIK Video Chat with my wife

Wifey has HTC INC2 (Stock)

When we do the vchat it all works and looks great on my screen,

but on hers I'm flipped upside down. She sees herself just fine, im just flipped.

If I switch it to the main camera, its right-side-up and good.

Back to the Front-facing-camera, im upside down.

Now I've seen a setting that said something to the affect of "invert camera", but I cannot for the life of me find it. Is there a setting that anyone knows of?

Or is this just a known issue? I went back about 4 pages looking for threads but no luck. (and search is down)

It did work just fine when I was stock, so I know it has something to do with CM7....

Thanks for your help!

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
What does the bootloader look like on it? I'm guessing it's locked but I haven't seen anyone say for sure one way or the other.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
It is S-On there are a couple pics people have uploaded in the general section somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It looks like the same hboot as the leaked ruu so I take it the rom is the same too? If not then that means htc probably could have shipped it with an unlocked one but didn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
good point and a very important question!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
What happened to the ENG bootloader you guys got in the other dump though????
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
+1 and did the old dump have 1080p recording?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Can't really do anything with it until the phone comes out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
8 days and counting, can't wait.

I spent a good 6 hours last night prepping my Evo 4G for trade in, unrooted it and installed the stock 3.70 RUU, which finally gave me the 4.22 OTA update as well. Had the "main too old, update failed" problem for the better part of 5 hours, solved it by re-doing the mtg-eng.img through adb, the 3.70 RUU went on just fine after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
android 2.3.4 please say yes? lol
[HTC EVO 3D] zeks:
2.3.3 in the one I saw.
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
hmm i was pretty sure evo 3d shipped with android 2.3.4
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Nah it ships with 2.3.3. Kind of lame, but the big question is the bootloader in the 3vo encrypted.
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
darn.......it probably is like the htc sensations is but it will be unlocked with an ota or ruu most liekly
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
True, but it will nice if HTC did not encrypt the bootloader. If the bootloader is encrypted, it all comes down to HTC keeping their word.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubed Guru:
Sorry but I did several searches and am unable to find a straight forward answer to my question.

Q. Is there any way to extract a certain APK from a Clockwork Mod Backup done on a Nexus One?

Supporting Details:

1. I am not trying to rip off developers of Apps. I am a regular purchaser of Paid Apps and support Developing.

2. I need this APK from my Nexus One Backup and install it on my Sensation 4G.

3. The App was a free app, still available on the Market, but due to uncompability of my "newer" device, I am unable to it to download.

4. There is no Q & A sention on the Sensation Forum, and as I still have a Nexus One, I think I qualify to question it here.

5. Most importantly, if this does not belong here, feel free to move/delete it.

6. And just to re-iteriate again, the APP is a free app and thus I am not pirating in any way.

Thanks a lot in Advance.

P.S. The files are as .img files. Would I be able to pull Apk using a Mac/PC?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jetpack101:
Ok so not a big problem but one I'd like to get sorted.

Can anyone tell me how to get mms working on meteor ireland.

I have put the settings in as told by meteor but still can't get it working.

Every time I try to send an mms the little 3g or h icon disappears. And the message just sits there with the words sending. I have tried everything but still can't get it to work.

My sgs is currently runing on darky 10.1 extreme rom but I don't think that is the problem. I think its a meteor issue.

The problem is, on meteor I can't receive an mms until I send one first. Apparently that's how it activities it.

Only a little problem but it's driving me nuts.
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
I'm really really excited...! This is my dream tablet, I've been waiting for this for over a month. And now its finally mine! But there is a problem, since I've no WiFi network in my house(for now), how can I install applications. I know the android applications are .apk format, but I don't know from where to download them. I got the file manager HD .apk file but I don't know how to install it. Please help!
[Acer Iconia A500] gravyplaya:
Youll have to root your tablet then you can install apks locally. Alternatively you can try easy installer. You will need a internet connection as its required by the Market to install apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I don't think you have to root to install apps locally... as long as you have the unknown sources option checked, you can install apps from wherever you want. If you have a desktop with internet that you can get to, you can download the apk's from various torrent sites, and I think there is a web version of the android market? I'm sure there are other places as well, just search on Google. :-) anywhooo, then just transfer the file over to your A500 via the USB cable or flash drive, and open the file through the app manager option that pops up when you tap on it, then click install.
[Acer Iconia A500] csi15:
I have had no problem download APKs onto my desktop computer and then putting them on a Micro SD card to use on the A500 without having to root anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] Glebaka:
u can use Docs to go to navigate to .apk on your tablet and launch instal from there. Thats my way)
[Acer Iconia A500] tazm0n:
Congrats on getting your Inconia!

For apps like the filemanager you could just download them from the Android marketplace, then they would install themselves. Otherwise, place them on your sd card if you're downloading to your PC first. Apps will also install if they are in your download folder on the tablet (say for example, if you download from the dev's website or email them to yourself as an attachment).

One thing you might have to do first is check the setting that allows you to install "unsigned" third-party app. I believe it's: Setting->Applications->Unknown Sources.

From what I understand, there's not much concern of installing something harmful anymore (for which this setting was designed to protect against), but I could be wrong. Just be careful who you are getting the app from if it's not from the market, a dev's site or a reputable person here at the forum.

That's my $.02 :) Have fun!

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to make the atrix vibrate on call connect and call end?

My old Nexus S did and I like the feature.

"Callend Vibrate" is one choice.

[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:

[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Try callVibrate (novaeye) from the market, is the best one for me so far, vibration on answer and end call.
[Atrix 4G General] ronak47:
Thanks guys...

I found that callvibrate worked best for me.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
You're welcome.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
I use Vibralert, its a root app, and offers customizable vibrations on: outgoing answered, incoming answered, outgoing failed & active ended. as well as an in call alerts option.
