The CPU in the sensation and the xe version are the same. 1.5 ghz

Sensation runs it at 1.2ghz

Xe runs it at 1.5ghz

Also unless you are running a CPU to an extreme under or overclock, I would not worry about it.

If you shortened its 'life' by 50%, and it only lasted 3 or 4 years, would that matter? Would you be using the same phone in 3 years?

My guess is you will be running the new 8 core 10ghz version in 3 years ...

I am sure you get the gist of what I mean... I :)
[HTC Sensation] andyboo:
Hi artymarty

I noticed in your signature that you're running coredroid on the z710A, i want to do the same thing, however, me being a complete noob at this, i don't know where to start ( i actually do not know where to start, i've been told i need to S-Off first, but then not really sure where to go from there) and have some worries (bricking it, unable to get reception).

These two are my biggest worry, I am with telstra because of there awesome coverage. My z710a is stock from telstra. I'd was wondering if you're able to lend me some of your knowledge?

Thanks in advance :o
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Well, I was initially told by HTC that my phone would be repaired to seal the screen and stop more dust getting in (it was already my 2nd Sensation with the dust issue).

But I got my phone back today from Fonebiz, and they have replaced it with yet another one. HTC tell me this one should be ok, so maybe it's from another batch. 3rd time lucky!

Carefully read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 ;)
[HTC Sensation] Marteni:
Good luck with that mate, I'm on my third replacement Sensation and it's developing dust too. I have an awful feeling that this may just be the nature of the beast.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
My third has been ok since I got it a few weeks ago. If it happens again, I certainly won't accept it and will keep pressing HTC for another replacement or upgrade.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
A thread full of Aussies. Sweet! :D

I got my Z710a a couple of weeks ago off ebay and am very happy so far. Running ARHD 3.6.2 with a couple of mods. Over-clocked and under-volted - performance and battery life are good. OK battery life is OK but certainly better than my old iPhone.

Thanks for the stock Telstra ROM BTW. I totally forgot to rip mine off before I got started modding.
[HTC Sensation] tangcla:
Hi guys, I sold my Sensation and have my original battery still, if anyone wants to buy it for $30 incl postage, let me know. It's only had about a month of usage, maybe two.
[HTC Sensation] matm:
My wife and I have had ours for about a month without any dust under the screen. Is it just a matter of time, or does this not happen to all screens?
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
No dust under my screen (and I get heaps inside the battery part so it's not like it doesn't encounter dust)

Have however scratched the screen from a key or coin which is a bummer. Gorilla glass my ass!

Wonder if I can get a swap out for that... What do you think?

yeah the Gorilla glass is more of a marketing ploy. A single drop and my phone screen is shattered... sigh

Guys is there a Telstra patch to increase the mms size that works with the latest InserCoin 3.3.1?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Edit the file yourself before flashing the ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17247908#post17247908. That's what I do

But note that you'll have to either wait until a new FULL ROM comes out and edit it inside the zip file prior to flashing, or wipe your data for it to be effective.

Has to be a full ROM, not one of the IC minor ROM updates.
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
Hey guys, also a whirlpool user lurking around here (thedr)

I have a telstra htc sensation.

I am an absolute noob when it comes to doing anything fancy with my mobile.

I'm sick of waiting for the 2.3.4 update on telstra.

I am after the most stable, up to date rom that I can put on my sensation...WITH sense.

and nice DIY instructions would be awesome.

any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Well I'd recommend the insert Coin ROM. It's 2.3.5 with the latest Sense 3.5. I can't fault it at all...haven't had a single issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198684 (with that one, you need to flash 3.3.0 which is a full ROM, then 3.3.1 which is only a small update)

You'll need to s-off your phone, to allow you to flash a custom ROM.

Read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

You only need to do step 1 and step 2 from memory. Easy enough, just make sure you read it carefully. Feel free to ask here if you need more help.
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
thanks mate, will try it and post when I have problems
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Love your optimism :D

I'm a fan of Android Revolution HD 3.6.2. Fast and stable.
[HTC Sensation] matm:
I've recently finished integrating the Telstra OEM customisations in to the InsertCoin 2.5.5 Update 2 base. You get the best of both worlds, but it's on a slightly older ROM (based on official RUU 1.73.401.2).

Doesn't have the new flashy stuff, but it's based on released stuff.

If you're interested, I can post it?
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Are you able to post the Foxtel Mobile app? I've just been searching for it and it seems you can't download it.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
you mean this one?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.foxtel.epg&feature=search_result
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
I've had a look at both roms and am quite liking the HD android one. What kind of info do I need to note down in terms of telstra OEM stuff.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
No, the actual TV watching app.

Edit: Or am I missing the point and the 'app' is just a shortcut to a web site?
[HTC Sensation] matm:
I did a comparison of the closest stock ROM to the Telstra customised and dumped out the differences, such as the model ID (Z710a instead of Z710e), the boot animations, themes, TelstraOne app, etc.

There's also locale/regional information and MMS config (as mentioned earlier in this thread).
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Ah ok....yes, those are all just shortcuts to the website on the Telstra stock ROM..no apps :)
[HTC Sensation] wchiri:
So how do I get the process started.

From reading the guides and FAQ I believe the first thing to do is s-off.

Then I'm lost.

What is ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on , and do I need to do those?

And also for warranty purposes if something goes wrong with hardware etc, am I able to go back to stock ROM? (and how).
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
OK cool, thanks. You wouldn't happen to have those shortcuts handy would you?

Everything you need is here. And yes, you can roll back if you need warranty service, etc.

That's what I've been reading, makes little sense in terms of which steps I actually need to do.

I have a Z710a and I flashed a different radio 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 and not sure if it supports 850mhz. has anyone else flashed a newer 850mhz radio?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
All radios support all Sensations...
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
You just need to s-off, then install the recovery (Clockwork). Follow the steps. You dont need to worry about supercid or s-on.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
I'll try and paraphrase for you but please do try and read that thread too - really, please do read and try to understand everything as I don't want you to brick your phone. I can't be held responsible for any issues you have.

1. Download the revolutionary utility from http://revolutionary.io/

2. When you start the download, you will be prompted with entering your model, HBOOT version and serial number. Get your HBOOT version by powering the phone off, then holding volume down and powering on. In this screen use vol +/- to navigate and power to select. Reboot once you have noted the HBOOT version.

3. Plug your phone in and set it to HTC Sync mode.

4. Run revolutionary. It should detect your phone and ask for your beta key (from the web site). Copy past the key in.

5. When prompted to install recovery, select N.

6. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 from here and save it to the root of your SD card.

7. Power off and reboot in recovery mode (vol down and power as above). When asked "Do you want to start the update?" select yes.

8. When done, power the phone off and on and boot into normal Android. Delete the PG58IMG file from your SD card.

9. Download Clockwork Recovery from here and save it to the root of your SD card. Reboot into recovery as above.

10. IMPORTANT: Backup your existing ROM by navigating to Backup & Restore in the menu.

11. Select "Install Zip from SD card", then "Choose Zip from SD card", select su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, then Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.

12 Once finished, Go Back, the Reboot. now you are rooted and ready install custom ROMs.

I've been a bit scared of flashing the radio for fear of ending up with nothing! But are you saying worst case scenario is that I just get crap network performance?

I read that the radio should always 'match' the ROM, though I seem to be doing fine on ARHD 3.6.2 without touching the radio.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yep...as I said, all radios work with all Sensations. I've been using 10.58 since it was available.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Sweet thanks.

I'm going to run some benchmarks, then flash the radio and see what it does :D
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
OK so I've done some (fairly limited) testing with the stock radio and 10.58 and while not conclusive, it seems to show 10.58 is a little slower for me. I tested using speedtest.net on wifi and NextG. It also seems to show that 10.58 produce more uniform results (less variance between tests).

When you get that fixed, do they give you a new phone? A refurbished one? Or take yours away and fix it and send it back?

Reason is I have a bit of a scratch on my screen where it had an argument with my keys in my pocket... Could be handy to get some dust under my screen... Wondering if it will be worth the effort?

[HTC Sensation] andyboo:
Hey Guys!

I've had my sensation for about a 2 months now, when i first got the handset, i was terrified that it would have the "death grip" issue, however to my surprise, there was no such issue on the stock Telstra rom.

Then i decided to s-off and install a custom rom such as coredroid, insertcoin etc. By doing so, i've noticed that i actually get the "death grip" problem!

Has anyone noticed this at all?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
That seems strange, and doesn't really make sense. The death grip comes about because the back case is part of the antenna.

have you tried upgrading to the latest radio? (10.58)...
[HTC Sensation] kris.sh:
Cool, thanks. So it removes the revolutionary watermark bit too?

Also just confirming RUU_Pyramid_Telstra_WWE_1.34.841.6_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197682_signed is the RUU you used? IE flash that, use ADB for s-on as per the other thread?

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] andyboo:
Yeah I know the back case is apart of the antenna, thats why i was worried about the death grip issue. But when i first got the phone with the telstra rom, i covered the entire back with my palm and no death grip issue at all.

However, now with the custom rom (coredroid 2.5) i get the death grip issue when i cover the entire back with the palm.

I will upgrade to the latest radio and will report. Current on coredroid its 10.43a
[HTC Sensation] matm:
I am not aware of a particular watermark that Revolutionary sets or anything (I've read that the HTC official unlock method does, though) but I know that running the RUU first and following the S-ON instructions should remove any signs of modding.
[HTC Sensation] kris.sh:
Well at the moment above the s-off stuff mine says revolutionary, so that should go away?

Also that should be the right ruu? Sorry for the newb questions, a bit scared of bricking lol :)
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yea, the bootloader watermark will disappear.

Thats the correct RUU to flash. It's the only available Telstra RUU.
[HTC Sensation] matm:
Ahh yeah, righto. Mine doesn't have anything about Revolutionary on the boot screen, so I must be on an earlier version. But yeah, that's fine, the S-ON will replace the HBOOT so it will go away in that case.

And yep, that's the right RUU, thanks to the_scotsman

EDIT: ^ I was too slow.
[HTC Sensation] kris.sh:
Sweet, thanks heaps guys

It'll say Z710a under the battery if it's an 850MHz phone.

On the phone dialpad dial *#*#4636#*#*, then Phone Information. Now you can force the network type to connect to. Select WCDMA only to see if you are on NextG.

Or check under the battery as the_scotsman says ;)

Not sure why all of the enthusiasm for this.

The interface is cluttered and has changed the market app from one that provides a means to access useful extensions to your phone to a billboard for Google's offerings.

I tried it, uninstalled it and then froze the market updater so it won't DL to my phone automatically.

If your phone is rooted you can't view the movies, but instead of checking this in the market app and then disabling the rentals there Google allows you to rent a movie that the player then will not allow you to view.

There are no settings to turn off movie and book ares if you don't want them cluttering up the interface.

For those who want to try this. I copied the apk linked to in the first post to my sd card and clicked on it in a file explorer to install it.

To uninstall I went into manage applications, tapped on the market line and then tapped on Uninstall updates. This reverted me to the base market that came with the phone. I let it update automatically to the version that was on my phone prior to testing the new one. You will want to make a backup of the version you have if you like it to make it easier to return to.

If you decide you do not want this version to be automatically installed by Google you can freeze the app called Market Updater.
