[Galaxy S II General] harrists:
I'm using the AccuWeather Wideget, and I found that disabling the "Enable current location" on AccuWeather causing the high power consumption service "Wifi Sharing Service" disappear from Battery Status list, it used to take 30-40% of my GS2 battery.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
I'll try this now. If it works, you would have solved a problem that has been bugging me since May!
[Galaxy S II General] bothfly:
Well I've been running Launcher Pro and went back to TW4 today, I had the Accuweather widget running all day with the check mark on Enable Current Location and I have to say my battery life was much better than running Launcher Pro. I didn't use the phone that much today, sat on the desk at home, but push email from K9 was running all day a few text messages ect and for at least 3 hours it showed 100%, right now its at 95%. Thats with WiFi Bluetooth and Sync ON.

When I'm on LP I use Beautiful Widgets, I like how that widget updates your location and weather, but maybe thats whats draining my battery faster than Accuweather.

But exactly what does Enable Current Location do in Accuweather? It doesn't detect my Current location thats for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] harrists:
Please also disable the following functions beside AccuWeather Enable Current Location:

Voice Command & Voice Talk (preloaded on GS2)

Uncheck Settings -> Use location
[Galaxy S II General] harrists:
As my understanding, the Accuweather will keep detecting your location in certain interval to make sure it reporting the weather on your current city and display on the widget. When you have your WIFI On, and you have "Use wireless networks" checked in "Location and security", it will wake up the "Wireless Sharing" service and Accuweather or Voice Command / Voice Talk will use that "Wireless Sharing" service to keep detecting your location, that's why most of the time you see that service drain your battery for 20%-40% daily. Maybe I'm wrong but proved on my phone this method really work.
[Galaxy S II General] harrists:
Thanks Sleepycat, please tell us the result! :) Hopefully the solution can temporary fix on every GS2 phones' battery problem before Samsung releasing the new firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] bothfly:
I think I might have figured out the Enable Current Location feature, it looks like it uses the GPS. Now I'm not sure if it updates on its own like Beautiful Widgets, which btw doesn't use the GPS since I always have it off.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Tried this and WiFi sharing still appears. So your fix doesn't work for me.
[Galaxy S II General] rishap.shah:
Does Accuweather have live weather wallpapers as in go weather.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I don't they do. However, there are two stock live wallpapers that have live weather. I'm using the windmill one currently.
[Galaxy S II General] vegetaleb:
But this Live wallpaper is not in Cognition roms :(

I am using Blue Skies which is awesome, it just need that its dev link it to weather...
[Galaxy S II General] leeboy22001:
Theres an auto refresh option that 's turned off by default
[Galaxy S II General] rishap.shah:
How do I use them and will they show me the wallpaper with updated current weather info
[Galaxy S II General] rishap.shah:
How do u activate it and does it accept the weather info from accuweather and changes accordingly
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep_madahar:
does accuweather live wallpaper really work with weather update plz let me knw coz mine is not working on GS
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
My live weather wallpaper is also not updating/showing changed weather now. Once or twice it did, and should also show day/night but now it just stays at its current setting.
[Galaxy S II General] darrenjdoc:
Click on the widget and change the setting on auto refresh to what you want.

Mine works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] vegetaleb:
Go weather app is nice and close to Sense 3.0 weather system, if only we can get rid of the ''go weather'' boot page
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Hmmm... after my KE4/KF3 firmware update, the in-built live windy weather wallpaper seems to have started working (updating itself) again.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
I have somewhat same problem as last 2 or 3 users. The Accuweather Live wallpapers are not getting updated, However the Accuweather widget is showing the correct weather.

Its raining here, widget shows this correctly but those two Live wallpapers are showing bright sunny weather. Any help or fix? :\
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I have lightning on my wallpaper, when it is either raining or sunny. It is simply not changing from lightning (I even updated the news/weather app) over several days. I have given up for now and using the microbes one. It greatly improves the battery life as well. Once official 2.3.4 is released, maybe I will try again.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
^^And mine is stuck on Sunny only.

Is there any other weather app that supports Live Wallpapers, which actually change according to the weather?
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
Mine didn't work properly on 2.3.3 but since going to 2.3.4 it works perfectly.
[HTC EVO 3D] tonyh703:
The main reason I wanted to take the OTA update is so I could test out the green hornet. This was not worth possibly giving up a future chance of root, so I played around a little bit and got the movie to work without telling me there was an update.

Open Watch > Hit the button on the bottom left to bring up the menu before it has a chance to tell you there is an update.

voila, the green hornet is available.
[HTC EVO 3D] mail2n:
Nice....gotta give this a try.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Or add the HTC watch widget and open it up from there
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Whoa nice find dude, it works!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
so...... is it worth watching?

heard so many bad things about it i haven't even bothered trying.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Helpful thread FTW!

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] tonyh703:
its not that bad. not great but sweet when you're too hungover to get up and watch TV and need something to watch lol. kinda cheesy but I didnt finish watching it (not becuase it was bad though).
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
The movie itself isn't really worth watching, but it is a nice demonstration of 3D on a phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
Thanks, I wasn't ready to update yet either.
[HTC EVO 3D] tonyh703:
you can click the thanks button if you want ;-)
[HTC EVO 3D] stacktrace:
Thanks for this. I can't get past downloading the license though :(

It just sits there spinning... "Downloading license"
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Does same for me too
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
got the license downloaded, won't play in 3d though
[HTC EVO 3D] tonyh703:
I think you have to be on 3G to d/l license... are you on wifi?
[HTC EVO 3D] killa2009:
Not working for me either
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Worked over wifi for me
[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
You could watch Hornet without the OTA update. It started working on Thursday morning. The problem was when you opened it, it was trying to get the DRM rights from the HTC server, but it wasn't up yet.

I'm guessing this patch just put the DRM file on the sd card to curve the traffic to the server.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
mine started working in 3d after a reboot.

btw I'm playing it from my cl6 16gb card that I copied everything to
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
No you can't. When opening htc watch or the green hornet from the apps menu a pop up comes up saying you need to accept the ota because it contains an update to htc watch.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mayonesa:
i got my 3D on the 22nd and i was able to watch the movie on the 23rd and i havent done the update... stock all the way

did nothing special and i can watch it with no problems now
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
^^ This

It's a great demonstration of how good the screen can output 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
It worked prior to the Watch patch. I had the phone since Wednesday and it didn't work all day Wednesday. The next morning it did. Somebody mentioned that HTC was aware of the issue and the reason being that the DRM license for the movie wasn't up yet.

Something in the 1st update made Watch sync your account all day. The latest update eliminated that issue. You should be fine installing the Watch update even if you're scared that you'll the non-existent root because it just updates the Watch's code. It doesn't change any code in the OS or bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] JayH1980:
From what i understand it does change the version of HBOOT 1.30 to 1.40 which could screw with root when avaible.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
I thought the movie was very funny and well worth watching

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
I tried this on the 3rd EvO I had and it worked but now on my fourth and it's not working. Just spins checking license, if I hit the back button it spins buffering. I even did the OTA apk posted in the themes n apps section...no go :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Kilmar:
Am I the only one who's wondering why HTC would choose a fake 3D movie to showcase the device? Green Hornet uses post-processing 3D and was not shot via a 3D camera during filming. I admit the 3D effects are pretty good, right up until you see a movie (re: Avatar 3D) that was filmed in 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
Just accept the ota and update watch. Sheesh
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
I watched it yesterday morning without accepting the update, method still works
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
Didn't HTC say in a number of emails to users that they were working on releasing on an ota with an unlocked bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] taygutta:
all I get is the please ota screen
[Wildfire General] dragdusan:
First of all, I want to say that DK rom is super-cool :)

Here are some things that are not working as it should:

1. no wallpapers in HTC wallpapers section

2. no scenes

3. HTC Peep won't connect to twitter, nor official Twitter app from market

I'm at CWM 3.0.0.6 and DK rom 4.5

P.S. there is also a stand-alone theme about no HTC wallpappers, so I hope that solution will be found eventually :)

Thanks in advance for any suggestion about these problems,

Cheers
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
This seems to be some issue with getting S-OFF with AlphaRev X and then formatting your device (?). I don't think this is ROM related.
[Wildfire General] dragdusan:
My suspicion was also related to AlpharevX, I mean people did their best to S-Off wildfires for free, and we can't blame them... anyway purpose of this thread was to gather all experiences from different users, and then we could try to find a solution.

I installed alpharevx, no problems with that, did factory reset from original rom, just before gone into CWM, and did the nandroid backup... seems to me that after installing AlpharevX wallpapers were gone, but I didn't pay attention... (stupid me.. :))

Also after alpharevx I just can't receive nor send mms messages, like before, just generic network error appears again, and again... setings were exact the same as in stock rom where everything was fine, Wifi off, but it can't receive...bummer :)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
From what I have read from other members reports so far, it seems if you factory reset after getting S-OFF, only then you experience a lot of errors, typically similar to the ones you are seeing. Also, if I am not wrong, it seems to affect only Sense ROMs (?)
[Wildfire General] dragdusan:
So... is there any way to correct this.. for example flash ruu with goldcard and then s-off without factory reset, like I did???
[Wildfire General] undertherain:
I have HTC Wildfire with AlphaRev X.

It seems there is a problem with X AlphaRev causing non-functioning send / receive MMS.

Someone AlphaRev X installed and was able to send / receive MMS?
[Wildfire General] dpockets:
I used alpharev-x and I am not facing any such kinds of problems I have flashed many rom from then
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tngal22:
I transferred a mov file at first but that would not play so I compressed it to a wmv and it still won't play. I have 2 other wmv files that play just fine. It does not have a thumbnail so I moved the one I had along with the file but still no luck. I have tried saving it to the external sd card and to the android itself. No luck. I know the file is not corrupt because it will play on the computer...even from the phone when connected. Any thoughts?

I am running Cog 5 Beta 2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
You can't compare what will play on a PC running Windows with full codec support to what will play on a phone running a Google OS with limited codec support. Also, there are several different flavors of WMV and not all will play on Android. Your best bet is to convert it to a format that Android likes, like MP4 or just MPG. I have no issues with my videos in this format.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
After upgrading to 2.3.4 and having a few issues with it, I wanted to get back down to the 1.83. However when I try flashing with RSD Lite, it fails. I have a CWM backup from right before upgrading to 2.3.4. Can I restore that with recovery mode or is there some other way I need to do it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
I attempted to fastboot flash my system.img from my CWM backup.

It flashes the system.img but the bootloader isn't the correct one for 1.83. Any suggestions? I would really like to get back to 1.83 until the retail OTA comes out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kraize:
I had the same problem earlier! What I basically did was go to the Firmware thread [here] and then downloaded the 1.8.3 full (it doesn't work with the service one) and flashed that sbf file through RSDLite and it went back to Froyo. You said it failed though, so maybe try an older/different sbf file?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Does it just fail to reboot when sbf flashing? Load to fastboot and type 'fastboot -w'
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeRmiT80:
i went back from ginger

rsd full 1.2.6

rsd unlocker

fastboot cwm

update.zip my own 1.8.3 modified ota

no problems at all
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Ive been waiting for the 1.83 full to download but its taking forever. I tried the 1.26 but it fails after flashing some of the code groups. I think it almost makes it to 100%. But Idk. I'm gonna keep trying cause I'm having too many issues with GB right now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Got it working.

Flash the full 1.83 SBF (flash says it fails but it actually finishes), flash unlocker SBF, root, install the old CWM recovery and restore CWM backup.

[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
has the bootloader unlocked ????

thanks
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
We have to wait for someone with an unbranded EUR device to try it out and inform us of bootloader version.

My EUR sensation is coming on wednesday....
[HTC Sensation] dk_iceman:
anyone tried the new europe rom ??
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i have a sensation 4g unbranded, i'm on vacation, but i'm downloading the file...
[HTC Sensation] Selech:
Downloading now! My phone should be EU Unbranded, so will try it out as soon as its done :D
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
Very interesting indeed..

Although you do have to consider, maybe htc have patched up possible exploits in this instead of bringing us an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] dk_iceman:
Im downloading now.. anybody now what has changed ?
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
if your rom version is 1.xx.401.1 then you can flash it
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
how i know the version i have ???
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Go to settings, about phone, software info
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
Hehe I am downloading it at a rate of 1.00MB/sec (I know a website which allows me to download at full speed). It will be done in under 2 minutes.

I will extract it and see if there is a new bootloader version. But I am a bit wary of flashing it, want to know a bit more about it before I make irreversible changes to my £500 phone..

EDIT:

Done downloading! will upload screenshots of contents in a min...

EDIT2:

Image uploaded.

EDIT3:

Uploaded the new HBOOT (bootloader). Maybe this is useful to someone who knows what they are doing...
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
my version is 1.28.707.2
[HTC Sensation] prcek15:
Settings-Phone info (last row)-Software info ;)

BTW, I'm downloading it too and I will tell you, if bootloader S-OFF. :)
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
no good u got asian rom
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Looks like the same hboot as the Orange rom so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

also when you say it contains lots of new goodies, all pyramid roms have had those files so I don't think you can tell that looking there.
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
I have 1.28.401.1

What do i do next?

I can search the forum on "How to flash a rom" :)
[HTC Sensation] lge73:
HBOOT 1.17.0011

S-ON :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
Yes you are right :o forgot about that, unless we compare previous ROMs with this one we cant actually tell whats changed..

i cant update ? :( with euro rom ?
[HTC Sensation] w3by:
I get asked to enter the password before the camera app shows up.
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
Wi-Fi seems to be better with this one. Or maybe it's because of full wipe, but it's better for me now. It doesn't drop as easily as it used to on original ROM/Radio.
[HTC Sensation] w3by:
Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but this rom fixes a problem that some apps (like the Talking Tom Cat) had - after running an app, after exiting it, the sound would go mute until you restarted your phone ... well, not anymore! :)

And so we cannot flash a branded htc sensation ? (SFR/Vodaphone in my case)

Can anybody confirm, that this version will receive future updates?

My mind says YES, but my stomach is still skeptical.

The unbranded x.xx.401.x will get all updates HTC release so yes it will get more
[HTC Sensation] moLA:
Hi,

Is it possible to "down-grade" from ROM version 1.35.401.1 to 1.28.401.1 ?

Perhaps this is a dumb question but HTC Sync won't let me....

Yours Morten
[HTC Sensation] altugk:
Just flashed this a couple of hours ago.

To be honest I did not see any improvements over 1.28 I had before.

Everything functions the same as the previous one but no improvements over my issues:

- screen and overall interface is still laggy.

- using the keyboard to type is not fun because sometimes it does not register the touches and I have to press the keys firmly.

- I still can not sync my calendar with exchange server, continues to give me socket timeout error. (whereas my galaxy tab has no issues at all with exactly same settings)

I don't regret that I flashed this but maybe I should have bought Galaxy s2.

I hope the next upgrade will make it better.

I really don't think my phone performs as it has a dual core cpu and that strong hardware.

All suggestions are welcome.
[HTC Sensation] sodaman:
i can only say that before installing this rom i was about to sell it and keep my galaxy s2 tho i install this rom today and WTF! all the problems i had they are gone, sense is faster, voice quality (i had issues with "metallic" voice) is perfect now and till now it didn't auto-reset everything (till now lol). :D also wireless signal is REALLY improved!
[HTC Sensation] sodaman:
@altugk try to full wipe.. i did the same and i have no problems at all!!!
[HTC Sensation] altugk:
Thanks Sodaman.

I did a factory reset after I flashed the new rom.

What else am I supposed to do for full wipe? Please let me know I will try.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Glad to hear mate
[HTC Sensation] elektrownik:
I have question, now I know that sensation have 4GB of ROM but only 1GB for user, 3GB is for system, updates, etc, so maybe files which are unlocking bootloader are there also ? Peoples were searching them only on sd card, but maybe someone with s-off and root can look into this 3GB and check ?
[HTC Sensation] j32olger:
android-info.txt

I ran the RUU and copied the extracted files from my %temp% directory. Included is a rom.zip which contains a file called android-info.txt This file has the following contents

modelid: PG5813000

cidnum: HTC__001

cidnum: HTC__E11

cidnum: HTC__032

cidnum: HTC__102

cidnum: HTC__Y13

cidnum: HTC__203

cidnum: HTC__405

cidnum: HTC__A07

cidnum: HTC__016

cidnum: HTC__J15

mainver: 1.27.401.3

hbootpreupdate:12

DelCache:1

What I am wondering is if I change one of the values in here to the output of my getprop ro.cid which is VODAP001

i.e. cidnum: HTC__J15 to cidnum: VODAP001 and repackage the zip file will this allow branded users update the rom. I know I could try this myself but can't afford to brick this device at the moment and hopefully there'll be somebody on here who has previous knowledge of this.

[HTC Sensation] sts_fin:
Contact your Exchange administrator and check with him that the sensation is on the allowed devices list.

flashed to 1.35.xx yesterday, and notice that sync has to be canceled manually, or it will be stuck. Also, the browser force closeda few times. Haven't noticed any improvement over 1.28.xx regarding data transfer speed/ latency. Not too many issues either.

Well today my phone has started with the sticky ring as I like to call it, when finally get it to unlock I can open an app but as soon as I try the back button it is unresponsive for a good 5 - 8 seconds, not done anything different just started out of the blue today. Very puzzled as I've been using this phone for a week with no issues.
[HTC Sensation] route00:
QUADRANT SCORE 2360. Charging the battery from 0% to 100% for one hour and fifteen minutes.

[HTC Sensation] altugk:
I was not seeing any improvement after flashing 1.35. I factory reset the phone, flashed again and right after did another factory reset. Now I see huge difference in overall responsiveness and battery life seems to have improved.

No screen issues observed so far.
