Well... I am not sure why they are experiencing lock up problems, i tried all different kind of scenarios myself and I can't get it to lock up... including USB, Charger, rapid on/off, etc etc...
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
yes i know, so i didn't reset the kernel...

i was connected to a/c power, but it was kinda random. i can't actually reproduce it myself :(

oops, phone was just frozen for one more time. i didn't do anything to it, but it didn't turn on.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

i'm leaving the office soon. see if this happens again when unplugged.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

oh, the phone just died again when unplugged. i haven't even left the office yet.

still good, at least we can say there's nothing to do with power supply.
[HTC Sensation] davedes:
Just tried beta 11. Did a camera test and when trying to exit the phone froze. Didnt have this problem on beta 10. My opinion is beta 10 is the best kernal so far for ARHD 4.1.4. Also getting 50 -65 mA on standbbye. battery is on 85% after 6 hours with normal use and syncing.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
This time I was totally stuck, unable to wake the beast or reset it, so battery pull off... I was at lunch, so I didn't use my phone for an hour or so.

Which file do you need to identify the problem ?

hi faux! how about this on 0.2.3 kernels? :)

Why not just unlock 2.3.3 with AlphaRev then update to 2.3.4 from there?
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
Anyone know where I can find 0.0.7?
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:
H E R E mate... please try...
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
It was mentioned that a stock recovery is needed for update searches to work

So if you flashed a custom one in your unlocking process maybe go back to stock to get the OTA

Or if that doesn't work re-flash 2.3.3 and grab the OTA before unlocking (i.e. stock hboot and recovery)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Thanks for the help. What a nightmare... I followed the instruction and still failed. The problem was the instruction said I can use "similar" RUU to restore back to stock, but in reality, I needed an EXACT RUU in order to do so. Luckily, I was able to find the RUU for my phone specifically, the RUU listed in football's thread DOES NOT match my phone :(

Anyways, after several hours of struggle and Google Fu, I have finally updated my ROM to 2.3.4. I just loaded Mike's hack for 2.3.4 and now I am stuck at the htc white screen :p...

This is now a kernel/ROM issue... I am finally past the stupid OTA upgrade nightmare.
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
Thanks Bro.... Will let everyone know my findings!
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
Just noticed this is not compatible with 2.3.4 android revolution HD 3.0.3! Any chance of that being done? If so, eta? ;)
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Come on mate read the thread, like two posts above yours
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
You must pimp 3.0.3 with faux 0.0.6 (Mikes patched version) first.

After that, you can flash faux 0.0.7

It´s always a good idea to make a nandroid before...:D
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Don't you need his ROM for this to work?
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
I think you need ARHD 3.0.x, not stock rom, but i´m not sure :confused:

EDIT: Just read, that it´s the same for ARHD and stock rom:

1st flash 0.0.6 (@ARHD modified version, @stock original faux version)

2nd flash 0.0.7
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
If 2.3.4 OTA uses 2.6.35.13 and you are building on 2.6.35.14 I'm not understanding why it's not 2.3.4 compatible

[HTC Sensation] LittleMerc:
Hi, just want to check... I tried searching ups and downs but i can't... Can anyone point to me where to download the 2.3.4 stock kernel which is completely stock, meaning no smartass or any modification? Thanks a million!~

Then I assumed Faux pulled them due to issues. From my experience v9 and v10 arent any better than v11 right now, they are all still open beta and im sure v12 will be here soon. These are open betas, remember.....they are quick, report feedback, try again. There is no reason to keep old betas around if they have issues/

OK but with -11 i have random freezes... When receive a call... When try to unlock... The -9 or -10 were better for my phone... I've tried to reflash Rom and kernel, same issues... With old betas i can't shot photos... Bad situation :-\

[023-build-11] [ROM: ARHD 3.6.3]

My phone keeps (crashing)/not waking up:eek:

Here the last_kmsg message

http://pastebin.com/6gLzw73H
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Blame HTC :mad: The sleep / slumber code worked exactly as it should, but waking up from it is a different story!

Geek talk below:

Normally, you should ONLY have 1 path in and out of suspend / resume states and all requests should come through Power Management, but apparently HTC has some hacks where it can enter or exit from suspend state outside of Power Management.

The current Slumber code assumed all suspend / resume code paths come from power management, so when another event outside of power management requested to resume from slumber, the updated resume code would ignore the request and continued to sleep ;) (as in real life with annoying alarms)... But unlike real life this is bad, because right after the request, the system assumed that the GPU was ready for work and started giving it tasks to do while GPU was still sound asleep.

My Plan:

Because of HTC's hacks, I need to patch the code so if the requests come from outside of power management, I need to wake up the GPU immediately (as in the original code).

thanks for the explain, other than that, im really enjoying beta 10, im on around -40mA drain which is basically amazing!!

My Sensation runs quite hot using Faux Kernels used with ARHD v3.6.x.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I've narrowed my camera issue down, seems to be when leaving the camera app. I.e. driver close. Faux does that help?

[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
are you guys flashing first/reset kernel before actual kernel ?

'cause with it camera along with everything else works just fine

[arhd-4.1.4] [23-beta-11]

update: nope, it doesn't
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Well, here's some more geek talk :D

Anyways, as I investigate the GPU resume issue, I have discovered another HACK by HTC.

HTC was trying to be clever with power savings, as much as I do, but the way they did it is hacky way and is making things difficult to work around.

As many of you have experienced with a few of the Open Betas, the Camera sometimes have issues when exiting the app. As it turned out, the Camera is one of the main causes of my power management headache. The Camera app is EXTREMELY battery intensive because:

1. The camera sensor draws power,

2. The display is set to high brightness in order accurately represent what the sensor is seeing,

3. 2D GPU is in high gear due to real time image capture and display,

4. VFE and VPE engines are running in case of special effects and post processing,

5. Flash light in case you need to enable flash.

however, the 3D engine is NOT used. So in order to save every last drop of battery, HTC decided to put part of the GPU engine into suspend, but they do so without power management's knowledge... So when Camera App exits, HTC camera app explicitly called resume to restore the GPU (again without power management's knowledge). This conflicts with my slumber code, because as I mentioned before, slumber assumed everything goes through power management, so when HTC called resumed explicitly, that request was IGNORED by the slumber code, so as you exit the camera, part of GPU is still sound asleep (this also proves that UI uses some elements of 3D engine, esp the lock screen ring, that's completely drawn in 3D) which causes the UI to be frozen. There's no way to wake up the UI afterwards because power management has no clue that all of the above have taken place, so battery pull is the last resort.

With my own private build, I have fixed the Camera Exit freeze by allowing resume code to be called at any time even during slumber, so when the camera app exits and calls resume explicitly, the GPU will be awaken from its slumber. This solved the Camera App issue. I am testing for other cases... MOAR to come later ;)
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Hey faux, is it possible you could implement audio boosts in your kernel? The sensations speaker really lacks in that department :)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Honestly, best "status update from a developer ive seen in a while...... Informative, technical, couldnt ask for more. Thanks a lot man! :) Anxiously awaiting the next technical finding.....

I couldn't agree more. Faux, you're the man!! Thanks for your sharing.
[HTC Sensation] aftab565:
im on ARHD 3.6.3 and running kernel 0.2.3b+ by default.

i used the recommended settings as mentioned on the first page for 0.22 /

On Sense 3.0 ROMs, < 022r >

1. My CPU clock is set to 1.08 GHz

2. CPU Governor set to Conservative (default)

3. GPU I/O Fraction Set to 50

btw / i used fauxclock nd set everything same above nd found my phone a bit less responsive nd it becomes hot first while playing game .

i changed the GPU I/O Fraction Set to 33 (default) . cpu clock to 1.188 // it is fine now / but im not satisfied //

i want to know what will be best settings for performance nd battery saver ??

or should i go back to default settings ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
In order to track down the wake up issue, I reverted back to original NON-ZSL driver for build -12 to make sure ZSL driver is not the one messing up the new power management capabilities I've added.

Once again, I bring you the latest cutting edge technologies. I have ADDED many SMP optimization which will be even SMOOTHER than 022 at an incredible clock of 1.026 GHz ;)

All 3D apps will work including all NenaMark benchmark apps (Avg FPS 56+ for Nenamark 1 and 36+ for Nenamark 2 all @ 1.026 GHz)

Kernel 023 Open Beta build-12: (NOTE: NO SUPPORT will be GIVEN for ANY OPEN BETA KERNELS from me, but you can still report problems/issues, THINK CM7 Nightlies style).

Make sure you start your post by saying [023-build-12] [ROM: ARHD 3.6.xx]

As always, 1.566 GHz version ONLY, don't even ask for any other versions for Open BETA!

1. Make sure your INSTALL my first time / reset kernel for your ROM base (3.0 or 3.5) from my OP before beta testing!!!!!

2. Install the latest beta from here

http://www.multiupload.com/N23J1VSZR0

Version 0.2.3 (Coming NO ETA, Official GB2.3.4)

<01~04>

(internal test versions)

<05>

CleanCache (zcache disabled due to incompatibility with mpdecision, blame HTC :( )

ARM Patch: Use CTR for the I-cache line size on ARMv7 (better performance)

lowmemkiller: make it swap friendly (better performance)

Enabled inline locks for ARM (performance)

SMP CPU workqueue optimization (limit some workqueues to single thread)

Conservative Governor minor tweak but OnDemand made default governor

patched qdsp6v2 to Set tx and rx flags based on current device

patched display to avoid staging up two pipes at same mixer_stage

ZSL Driver backport (part 2, EXTREME ALPHA!!!!)

<06>

Added GPU slumber (whenever screen is off, GPU is set to sleep)

Added idle wait support for SMP

Fixed AXI clock bug in GPU

Fixed L2 Cache Synchro bug

<07>

Fixed GPU slumber not waking up issue

<08>

Revert back to NON-ZSL driver

<09>

Fixed GPU slumber code paths... (the original code was too aggressive, it forced resume code path to slumber as well, this may have caused some incompatibility when you really needed to resume from suspend).

<10>

Using another GPU slumber code path.. <09> effectively disabled slumbering due to the fact that any background events/interrupts can bring the device out of suspend and into resume :(

<11>

revert back to my 1st ZSL hack rather than 2nd ZSL hack, camera should be fine now.

(burst mode still not working, but it's because we don't have real source for our phone)

Fixed a couple of coding derps regarding slumber :p

<12>

Modified slumber code to allow resume commands outside of power management to bring device out of slumber/suspend

Over half of your total RAM is free and you want more for apps to run? Even when fauxs latest additions provide even more "RAM" than we actually have? >_> Meeh, sorry, I don't get your problem. Maybe the RAM is already used by some apps.

[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
Revert back to 0.2.2.

I just revert back to 0.2.2. as both 0.2.3. 9b and 0.2.3. 10b gave me issues about awaking and using the camera.

Just received a call and couldn't awnser the phone nor see who called. After this I decided to go back to the 0.2.2. Faux kernel and wait till the 0.2.3. kernel version isn't beta anymore.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Beta isn't for everyone :D Good decision.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
You have TONs of RAM with my kernel. You have 100 MB extra ZRAM (with 2:1 compression ratio). So in effect, My kernel has 568+100 ~ 668 Total RAM (more THAN any other kernel for this phone) and that's including ALL the extra kernel features such as CIFS+UTF8, TUN, GPU Carveout (which all uses RAM), etc etc :eek: If this is still not enough for you, then you need to buy a phone with 1 Gig of RAM :D
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Guys, should check the thread.. No reason to continue posting issues about beta 9 and 10 when faux just released beta 12 :)
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
then I don't get, why shock htc browser still unloading background tabs.

and if I switch to another app, browser gonna close unavoidably.

that's really annoying, and I'm just trying to localize the problem.

can it be that some apps don't use ZRAM, or I'm saying stupid things?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Regarding the stock web browser, it could be that HTC has done its own optimization assuming the limited amount of RAM in the system. There are browser alternatives out there, give them a try.

Application has NO control over ZRAM. ZRAM will be used regardless.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Ok on beta 12 reflashed camera app and seems to work ok, no crash so far so anyone with camera issues give that a try...

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah... HTC tried very hard to tweak their ROM, but top to bottom approach IMHO is not good, they should have done it from bottom up with kernel tweaks rather than app/framework tweaks. Right now I am fighting a tug of war with all the Sense framework / apps...

I don't think they can. They have too many phones to support. They have to use the top down paradigm.

The bug is still there. My screen only shows wallpaper. Must touch it to get screen pull ring.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
kernel hackers are not easy to come by. Getting one to work only on one device is not going to make a manager happy.

Their primry focus is their UI .... Kernel work doesn't translate to sales immediatly.

So they will be happy with a basic working stable kernel that is relatively unoptimised.

The GUI is their front man the thing that makes them the money.

B12 was smooth responsive, no issues wake or camera. Trying b13 now.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
GiTS forever !
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
nod... I agree, because that's how we work for atrix-dev-team. I built a stable kernel first, then we concentrated on the bugs for CM7, then we come back and tweak the kernel some more after most of bugs are squashed from the ROM...

;) GiTS is well ahead of its time... Its writers were simply amazing...
