Good point :D (now that I reread your post I can see that it was more a suggestion than a question ;))

The wiki's are still around - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Sensation but are not being used fully. They just link back to the normal forum for any information on the Sensation and I never see users being referred there either, so I guess for all intents and purposes they are pretty much dead.

I'd love to see even more added to the FAQ:

- What's a RIL (and why do I care)?

- What's an RUU (and why do I care)?

- How is the Sensation's dual-core CPU architecture different than other phones... and what does this mean if I overclock?

- How can I search for answers in XDA?
[HTC Sensation] tictac0566:
Sorry, no offense, but those questions/topics are indeed completely "basic", valid for any kind of (HTC) smartphone, not only HTC Sensation. That is why you might want to do some research on your own.

Google helps, as well as the search function of the forum.

Back to your questions:

- RIL corresponds to "Radio Interface Library"

- RUU corresponds to "ROM Update Utility" (used by HTC mostly)

- Dual core vs. single core, check Wikipedia. Overclocking may brick the device.

- Use your common sense for selecting search terms
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
I wasn't looking for the info myself but rather suggesting content for a "FAQ," which is this very topic. I would hope that someone doing a search as you suggested, would be pointed to a topic just like this one.

So, your answers are good if you're looking for a 2-second answer and acronym definitions, but it wouldn't answer the questions that someone might have if they're "New to this device" (which, again, is what this topic is all about).

I'd love to see a FAQ and topic area that I could point my grandma to, for example. It would have all of the terms defined, wouldn't assume any previous knowledge.

I personally find myself answering the same questions over and over again and would love to point people to a thread for them to get started.

I'll see if I can suggest updates to the FAQ that can be included in the OP.
[HTC Sensation] sinisin:
I saw it somewhere but can not find it again to save my soul. What is the irc channel for the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] tictac0566:
OK, understood.

The thing is, even xda-wiki does not fully explain the acronyms.

As most of these terms are not really specific to HTC Sensation only, imho it might be an idea to add such information to the xda-wiki - and there you go with an easy solution to point somebody to. Maybe at the end of the day, it would be helpful for FAQ threads like this one just to be able to point to the xda-wiki for basic terms and explanations, not just acronyms spelled out.

I actually wrote such an FAQ in another HD2 forum, explaining all the terms you might encounter during the whole flashing process. It indeed cleared out almost all questions, but then again, some notorious users never really take their time to use the search function.
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
I am going to flash my radio on my htc sensation. But i better check i know how to do evrything before i start.

How do i back up my stock radio from my sensation ?

What is the md5 checksum ? as says this in the radio link

Remember to check MD5 Checksum before flashing !!! this is the part i need a tad more info on.

thanks gary
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
You should be able to find your original radio here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178143, so no need to back it up.

MD5 performs a check on the download file and allows you to compare to the original source file to ensure you get a complete download. Flashing the radio is one of the few instances where a bad flash can brick your device so it is vital to check that the file is not corrupt. You can use an app like Hash Tab to check. It adds a tab into the file properties pop up box and you can copy and paste the MD5 from the file into the box and the file will compare the 2 for you.
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
where do i find out the version number of the radio installed on my sensation. before i update ?

gary
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Settings>About Phone>Software Information>More>Baseband Information (Don't worry too much about whether it is a P or U after the first set of numbers, that can vary depending on operator and settings in the rom. Eg mine is 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
mine is the same as yours.

back to the check sum.

downloaded hash tag, went to the radio image and clicked the tab and got this number.

CRC32: 4C023249

MD5: B804DBC6484915C5A710EB630A353F6F

SHA-1: 1D2A63D937D0CC82641A9181E29AF42A435471A2

but still dont understand how i check its correct. or compare it

i do now i get the checsum nimber from the downloads discription. copyed the number into the check box.

box gave green tick.......

says in the download this.

--=[ How to flash a radio ]=--

This guide is for Windows users only! Your phone must be ENG S-OFF. Radio S-OFF is also highly recommended.

Requirements:

- HTC Sync

- A Windows PC

1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled

2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open

3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"

4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"

6. Done. Enjoy!

how do you get radio s off ? i have s off as i have installed the rom but what is radio s off.

where do i get htc sync from ?

what is a black command prompt ?

sorry for all the noob questions gary
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It's easier to get the radio from here - it is in PG58IMG.zip format, so you copy it to the root of your sd card and boot into bootloader and install it the same way you installed CWM Recovery.

To answer your questions though. You should be able to install HTC Sync from the sd card that came with your phone, or else download it from HTC.com.

If you've done the Revolutionary s-off it also allows you to flash a radio, so radio s-off is not necessary. The black command prompt is opening command prompt on your pc (ie Start - Run/Search - cmd.exe)
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
last question i hope. you say to install the zip to the root of my memory card. then install zip from sd card, coose zip, install.

but the link you said use yasy do it like this.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Sensation.

Make sure the filename is PG58IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

Connect the HTC Sensation to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

Code:

adb push PG58IMG.zip /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip

adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip

is the way you say o.k to do ?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
No, I didn't say to install it via CWM, I said to install like you installed CWM, ie copy PG58IMG.zip file to root of sd card, boot into bootloader and when the file is detected it will ask if you want to update. Press volume up to install.

Those instructions you referred using adb are just to copy the file to the sd card and to check the MD5 hash. On that orignal thread if you see the steps below that, that will show the steps as I now mention above
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
yes done it via clock work. the install asked if i wanted to update the radio. said yes.

now says buildband version says 10.58.9035.00u-10.15.9035.02-2 under about phone info.

thanks gary
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
That's via bootloader not via clock work ;), but glad you got it sorted :D

My touchscreen stops being responsive! Whats going on!?

It seems to be happening to everyone after about a week of use, me as well. We think maybe an ota will fix it. But to do a quick fix of it just turn the screen off for a few seconds then turn it back on. it usually fixes it whenever it stops working.

some reported that it is because of hardware issue the back cover has poor connection to the pin ( need to be left up a little ) , search xda for lot of pics and solution for that problem .... fixed as they say

i think in the new update ,it is said that it fixes a bug in touch screen , i don't actually remember

Need to return to stock for a warranty replacement. But the link to filefactory for stock roms isn't working for me unless I pay for a download account. Any chance there's a mirror for a stock TMoUS ROM that you're aware of? Thanks so much!
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
all the links in file factory works, don't let it take you to the paid screen , if it does , close the window , and open link again , right click the file and download it with a file manager

use a download manager

you have to wait for sometime for a free slot

usually i wait 30 min to one hour then the download starts

i use jdownloader , it keeps checking until a slot is free
[HTC Sensation] lokofan:
Hello to all!

First of all I am sorry if I repeat the question but I've just got my Sensation from US (T-mobile) and going to root, flash recovery etc.

But the ***Locked*** at the BOOTLOADER screen (see the picture) confused me. What does it mean? My phone is not sim locked, it does work with local carriers.

Just want to be sure not to brick the device after rooting etc.
[HTC Sensation] OllieArmageddon:
LOCKED just means you cannot flash new roms as the partition is Locked, during the root process it will unlock it, or the instructions will say unlock with HTC method, instructions will tell you everything you need to know
[HTC Sensation] lokofan:
All right, thanks for help!
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
locked bootloader is different than Sim unlock ,

when your Sim is unlocked " i.e use sim card from any carrier " it is done once and it is

permanent

, no matter you do you will be sim unlocked

locked bootloader comes with official Software " i.e S-ON " , But when you do S-OFF this bootloader is replaced by unlocked bootloader during S-OFF which is good

S-OFF is different than using htc dev to unlock bootloader , S-OFF is much much better

when i say unlocked bootloader i really mean unlocked hboot " this is the right way to say it " but i used the above term to explain to you in a simple way

you have hboot 1.18 which is supported by revolutionary which is very good

to S-OFF first try Revolutionary and it will work if your software version is not too new " i guess this is your case , if you have software version 1.45.x.x "

go to my thread Downgrade S-ON New firmware and GB OTA for Successful Revolutionary first time S-off ( Sensation ) here

Only

follow this title

and Nothing else

" Revolutionary Method and Precautions ( Gingerbread ) " to avoid errors when using revolutionary and better watch the video " note the video is for htc Incredible 2 but the procedure is similar except when you choose Sensation and hboot 1.18

if your software is too new " revolutionary will say .. Zerg .... failed to get root " , you will use tacoroot to S-OFF here [Guide] Fix for Revolutionary S-OFF fails on OTA S-ON update , before you use tacoroot

fully charge your battery

and

don't let it die while you are in bootloop

, the whole process of S-OFF should take only very few minutes

i added you to my contact to PM me if you have difficulty , good luck
[HTC Sensation] yajo:
when i try to flash a new radio.img via fastboot, i get Remote: not allowed error.. i looked it up and found that my Hboot is locked.. so i searched some more to see if i could maybe unlock the hboot, to no avail, but found that i could downgrade my hboot version to an unlockable version? my problem is, i'm running Android Revolution 6.6 which supposedly requires a hboot of 1.23 and up, which is what i'm running.. so.. what should i do?

btw, yes i know i can use the PG58IMG.zip to update the radio if i wanted to, but i just think it kind of a hassle and would prefer full hboot access..
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
ARHD 6.6 requires firmware 3.32 which included

unlocked

hboot 1.27 that you need to solve the problrm " remote not allowed " ,

so why you are using hboot 1.23 that was included in old firmware 3.12 , the only thing for it to be used is that you have a bootloop that couldn't be solved by other ways except by flashing that hboot 1.23

so you should flash firmware 3.32 according to your cid if you didn't have the above case that i described

i am. wondering whether anyone successfully use some alternative desktop apps (for example , dxtop) on 10.1.

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] rainby:
good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] rainby:
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] dagaetch:
using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] GuestK003:
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] rainby:
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] dagaetch:
It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TheBigSaxon:
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] SolusCado:
I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.

The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Does anyone know for certain whether the US Sensation will operate at 3G internationally? I know it's got the 2100 frequency, but it appears that the phone may only connect in 4G or 2G mode. If I get a local SIM in France or Italy, for example, will it operate at 3G data speed, like my Vibrant does?

Has anyone actually verified this on the ground in Europe?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
It'll do 3G. Tmobile's 4G is actually 3G/HSPA+, but thanks to their wonderful marketing, they started using the 4G name to get ahead of AT&T.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yeah, I understand the marketing overhype in the naming, but I've seen a bunch of posts that seem to indicate the phone is either operating in 4G or 2G mode. I happen to live in a weak 4G/3G location, and all I've seen on the phone display is 4G or 2G. Is the 4G icon being displayed when it's really connecting 3G? Has anyone seen a 3G icon on this phone?

I called both TMO and HTC tech support but neither one could answer this question with certainty.

I may be over worrying, but I really don't want to get to Italy later this year and be stuck with EDGE the whole trip.
[HTC Sensation] foldingspaces:
It's got the 2100 frequency for WCDMA, so you should be fine in europe.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Some of us are under the impression that Tmobile locked it to the 4G icon on the phone. They did the same with some other phones. When root is achieved & you are able to swap out the icons you'll probably see a difference.

[Atrix 4G General] wookiebush:
I know there are lots of threads about problems with the Atrix including rebooting. What I haven't seen is any consensus on what to do about it. Mine reboots randomly 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes when I'm on a call or using maps or just sitting idle.

Its happened on and off through all software versions. I'm currently running latest OTA (rooted) but otherwise stock. Is it a software bug to be fixed? Is it bad hardware? Should I seek replacement?

I love my Atrix and am really looking forward to Gingerbread next month. Is it too much to hope that this next update will solve the rebooting issue?

Flame away!
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
What launcher are you using? I ask because Now that I've swapped from LP+ to ADW EX I rarely get a "reboot" anymore. On the other threads you may have read that its possible you are experiencing a graphical shell crash and not a reboot.
[Atrix 4G General] wookiebush:
I'm currently using apb 3d shell. But also occurred with LP. When the reboot happens, it goes all the way dark and proceeds through the whole boot animation. Seems like a reboot to me.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
yeah mine randomly reboots too... its happened more lately -- but still only once a week maybe..

It happened once when I had GPS on -- my only guess is there has to be something with incoming/outgoing data where the phone resets itself to clear something out? i dont know jack sh1t about smartphones, but I do know that the times Ive caught it rebooting I noticed the phone being very sluggish and data trickling in even though I'm in a good service area.
[Atrix 4G General] iceman4357:
wait for the GB update, it is supposed to fix the issue according to the reports. I personally have not had a single reboot using ADW EX.

I had the random reboot issue when I first got my phone in March. The beginning of April I reflashed stock sbf updated to latest version then got gingerblur (currently running gingerblur 4) haven't had a random reboot since I started using gingerblur maybe try that? I don't know that's what fixed it for me I just know it never random reboots since I did this. My two cents take it or leave it ;)

I've been looking at some reviews including a very lengthy one from a couple of years back on Youtube where he tried about NINE different brands (Including anti-glare or crystal from the same manufacturers) and he tried pretty much most of the known brands including Zagg. He did miss out Martin Fields and a few others though.

I've seen the XO skins are pretty easy to apply wet. Much easier than the Zagg.

Large shooutout of various screen protectors. But it's a couple of years old and for a tablet PC rather than pads.

http://www.youtube.com/user/tonkabui#p/u/0/9XdVHL1M7vM

I am going to continue looking. But if anyone finds the perfect screen protector let me know. That XO looks easy to apply. But I want anti-glare and anti-reflectin as well as anti-smudge and 0 bubbles (in other words eacy to apply). Protection from scratches is actually pretty low down my list of wants.

If anyone can post their experiences (good or bad) of various screen protectors please do so here.

Also someone called MFX is making one as well as Martin Fields and SGP Steinheil.

I bought two of the (as far as I can tell) unbranded screen protectors from ElectronicCrap.com. Other than the non-existent directions, I'm quite happy. Not terrible with the fingerprints, reduces the glare, feels and appears quite durable. Price seems a tad steep (given that you can get whole packages of universal ones for like $10) but these fit perfectly edge-to-edge with the cutout for both the light sensor and the camera. It didn't come with directions of any kind but it's a screen protector - it isn't rocket science. I'd say overall it's a keeper.
