Wordaround for Viber?

Hi,

I tried to place and receive calls with Viber, the screen would go white. The app is dead but not system. Meanwhile, Tango works well.

I switched to Bricked kernel and Viber works. I prefer Faux123's kernel to Bricked kernel. Is there any known workaround for Viber ?

I'm using latest 0.2.9 beta.

ywliu
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
No issue with 0.2.8r here, maybe try this version first? :)
[HTC Sensation] alex.bat98:
Hi, guys! I can't download this kernel. I can't also visit multiupload( has anyone the same problem?) So, can anybody give me another link?
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
here you go buddy. included latest beta too, which is supposed to fix battery drain. although i was getting the same battery life as the latest release. i know it says b3 but its the same exact one as the final release
[HTC Sensation] ywliu:
Yeah. Tried 0.2.8 1.56Ghz. Still no luck. Viber still doesn't work. Maybe this is a ROM-related issue? Mine is RCMix3D 7.1.

Hi!

New to this kernel after having issues with Bricked. After 12hrs of usage it works way better but I've had two spontaneous reboots. One maybe 1 minute after booting the phone the first time and one while having the phone idle in my pocket after maybe 3hrs.

Phone is HTC Sensation with stock rom and I downloaded the Pyramid-Kernel-028b3-M-sense-1.56GHz.zip kernel.

Known issue? Known workaround?
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
After ca 47 more hours, no more reboots. I've had better battery stats than I have ever had before!

Seems to draw next to nothing while idling :)
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
In a month,I've only had one issue, once. It was a failure to wake. But, I may have accidentally hit the camera app when I put the phone down, so it may have gone to sleep with the camera on.
[HTC Sensation] maf-few:
Im running ARHD 4.1.13 with your kernal 2.6.35.14 and i was wondering if the CPU speed could be upped to 1.5 from 1.2?

Dont know why i want to but i just do :)
[HTC Sensation] Croandroid1996:
I can
[HTC Sensation] hackos:
Any mirrors for download? Megaupload is not working for me in Greece.
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
LOL?

Don't think they have an issue with Greeks :P
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
I've had 3-4 spontaneous reboots, and 3-4 times the phone wasn't possible to wake up. I'm afraid I have to go back to stock now, too bad.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
No need, not just yet. After your next random reboot, go to /proc directory using root explorer (or any other explorer with root access, I also recommend File Manager) and get your last_kmsg file. Upload it somewhere and post the link here for faux to take a look.

The waking up issue, could this be caused by the camera accidentally staying on when you press the power button? This is a known issue with the camera, you have to close it (back or home button) before pressing the power button.
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
Here is one from last time...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg1

and a bit funny, just after I had uploaded that file to Dropbox the phone was idling and rebooted again.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg2

Two times today the phone has restarted when in a call.

About the wake up, some of them was that but not all. One time yesterday the bottom leds were lit but the screen wouldn't wake up. And at that time I was sure I hadn't left the camera running. All times the phone responded to the "three finger salute" though.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
same prob here im sorry for what i say but by my hears its treu:

america why do you block sites that are sharing online files? u know that the piratebay still exists but you first go after the smaller with some free shared stuff mega and multi upload?!?!?!

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

that prob i had just hold power button like u wanna power down after a lil time it will return outta the "deeper sleep" dont need to enter pin just unlock like normal
[HTC Sensation] dirtyreturn:
Does anyone have the first time kernel.zip for sense 3.5?
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
Latest reboot. Was partly active writing a sms when it rebooted:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg3

Edit: One more, just answered a call.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg4

After +10 reboots thats it for me, going back to stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Sorry I've been very very busy recently + I was sick for about two weeks from a very nasty flu. I will try to find the files and re-upload them tonight.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I've read both logs unfortunately I can't find the kernel panic or any type of kernel errors in them... Without errors, I cannot diagnose the issues. :(
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
Thank you faux. I was looking for these files.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
OP updated.. kernel 029 is out!

Mainline is also @ 1.73 with ZRAM enabled.

Ultimate is @ 1.73 with ZRAM, ZCACHE, GPU OC @ 320 MHz...

I've lost MANY THINGS to Multiupload/Megaupload :(
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
I tried 0.29b1 before giving up.. didn't have any better luck with that version though.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg5

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg6

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg7

Is there any chance that 0.29 final is going to help me?
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Maybe source will be released fire ics soon... Thanks faux
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
Just tried it, my phone won't boot on this kernel (mainline). Just a white screenwith hTC-logo.

After install I have cleared cache, dalvik & also tried a second time including fix permissions.

I think official ICS is close now so maybe we shouldn't worry too much.. :)
[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
Wait so this kernel does not work with ICS? it was a great one for sense 3.0 back when I used that. Faux is a boss.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Been asked and answered for like a million times, use the search function to get your answer.
[HTC Sensation] Sk1985:
Same problem here my phone also won't boot.
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
Same here. Wont boot.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Are you all perhaps running ICS roms?
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
I'm not that noob. I'm using ARHD 3.6.13 by mike1986.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Sorry, I was very very tired last night.. the files were corrupted... Updated and verified the new files. Same name... re-download again!
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
Installed & working.. thanks for that. Now I'm hoping that it will run without reboots.

I have set max clock freq. to 1.35GHz, min 384Mhz, governor conservative (via No-frills CPU control). Is that good for long battery life? I practically never need a fast CPU, no games or playing video.

Maybe I should also do some undervolting?

To get a clue on the different governors I read http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt which was a really good read.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

After 1 minute of idling the phone rebooted :) Guess 0.29 wasn't any better than the previous ones I've tested.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2387311/last_kmsg8
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Again, your log showed NO errors caused by the kernel. I would suspect the ROM or App....
[HTC Sensation] Konstigt:
Had the phone for ~ 6 months and have had 0 spontaneous reboots IIRC. Then installed this kernel and had ~ 20 reboots in one week. I will go back to stock kernel now and see if the problem persists..
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
Installed again last night and everything working. No boot loops etc...

So far so good.

Thank you...
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I posted this earlier but I don't see it. This happened on 2.9b1 too, but I am getting a data stall. The up arrow illuminates and stays on, and apps say there is no connection. Then signal disappears completely and comes right back, then it works, or sometimes just the data turns off for a second and comes back on, then it is good for a while.

Btw, I am using 2.9 ultimate
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
the kernel does not affect the radio signal. I am not sure why data stalls would happen. maybe get me some dmesg logs if you suspect the kernel is the culprit.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Ok, I want sure. Maybe t-mobile is doing upgrades in my area. I notice it first switch to edge from 4g nearly as much as it did before, so maybe that is the culprit. Thanks for the reply.
[HTC Sensation] efebe:
[Q] Big one!

When u flash a new kernel into your device, the OC speed is set at 1.73GHz by default? ... or the frequency said is the max one that the kernel supports? ... please, enlighten me. Also, if its set by default... underclocking wouldnt be a problem, but i have a question, everytime u have to underclock u need to undervolt too? or they go in hand? ... Thanks, and im sorry if this has been asked before, i searched a lot of places but couldnt find any similar question/answer
[HTC Sensation] dcaples002:
When I tried to flash either of the Kernels I get a bootloop. Yes, I flashed the first time zip that's posted.

This is my first post in the Sensation thread :-)
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Are you using stock ROM?
[HTC Sensation] asesino:
Hey Faux been running ur Kernels in all my phones and this is the first time I run into this,every time I make or receive a phone call the phone will reboot only happens while on a phone call.

I'm running stock rooted with ur ultimate kernel np other mods have been done to the phone.Any ideas of what could be causing this?No UV and Max frequency is set @ 1.51.Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
GO Nag HTC via their tweeter for ICS kernel source!

[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Had another random reboot just a few minutes ago, hadn't had one for literally a month.

Happened right after I closed the stock browser. Didn't change anything on my config, plus the last kmsg looks kinda weird :/

http://db.tt/3mIfsdxt

Any ideas? :)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It appeared to be a storage corruption. ie, bad sector on MMC or SDCard.
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
Faux, I know you are a busy man, but a legend none the less. Care to cook us some ICS kernels?
[HTC Sensation] Jur1nator:
"LOL just woke up from my afternoon slumber to @htc sensation ICS kernel source. I guess it's time to work ;)"

he wrote this on twitter 15minutes ago.. so i guess he will be cooking one
[HTC Sensation] seadersn:
nope, he won't :(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah I will :D

I am doing something completely different this time for ICS :D I will make some major changes for ICS kernel. It may take a while, but it will be well worth it :D
[HTC Sensation] mrxjhsnx:
Eagerly waiting :D I tried to thank you but ive reached my thanks limit, Da F*%k

? lol
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Great news faux...I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Will your ics kernel have the call recording patch?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Hold your horses ;) Step at a time...

I am doing major re-org for my code this time around to make it easier for maintenance later on. the preparatory work will take a while but it will make my kernel easier to maintain and cleaner to hack later on...

BTW, my github has been setup for ICS (private for now, will be public when first release is out!)
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Missed the faux kernel since I started using Ics. Take your time with the prep work and look forward to see what you have in store for us.
[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
What he said. Loved your gb3.0 kernel faux.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Faux is back :cool: !!

[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
Aaaawwww yyyyeeeeaaaahhh
[HTC Sensation] kdm06:
Your kernel was one of the reasons I held off updating to ics for so long. Glad to hear there is going to be the complete package soon. Perfect.
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
Could you look into the battery % issue? I askedseb but he don't know
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
What battery issues, don't assume I know everything... I've been out of Sensation for MONTHS!

List the problem and describe them here!
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
Problem is with battery % in statusbar

It work fine down from 100 to 26 but instead of going to 25 it will jump back up to 31 even though true battery % is 25

Hope you can help...
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I was just curious. I haven't even been using ics, so I can wait:)

Sensation ICS Sense 3.6 Kernel 001 Open Beta build 1:

http://faux.androidro.ms/Pyramid-ICS-sense-001b1.zip

OC'ed to 1.73GHz

Boots @ 1.51GHz

Added Global UV table

and bunch of other optimization.. more details to come later on...

Enjoy and have fun!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Once the second core falls asleep and is woken up again (or thermald disables it) it will be reset to max frequency available by mpdecision.

So upon boot you will have this:

1,51Ghz both

CPU1 goes dark

CPU1 is hotplugged

CPU0: 1,51Ghz, CPU1 1,73Ghz

Just a friendly hint ;)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Hence my comment about mpdecision :rolleyes:

[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
Ever since i got this phone (which was when it was released) i have been trying to get bluetooth to work with my ps3 controller so i can play games with it and have done nothing but tire myself in this endless mission, only hope i ever got was with the original gingerbread cm9 rom which was never a stable one to use.

Now from my research it is my understanding that it can now be fixed from the source release of the kernal ICS and i would like to know if you could look into this for me. Someone from the desire hd dev section managed to get this done so i know its possible.

If you want or need the forum for this i can get it for you, all help appreciated.

yes but, no mpdecision, no more cpu1 turns on.. of.. have to force on..

No need to force anything on or off
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
with ics and your b2 kernel (insertcoin 5.1.6) i have core1 always off when screen is on, i see it in system tuner.. always off even i use stability test :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Both my CPUs are on all the time when screen on....both being used too, I had setcpu installed but now uninstalled it and its still the same :( any ideas ?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Same here without setcpu installed ever and as i see its by design ;)
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
hmmm faux ... since i used setcpu and noticed cpu 1 is forced online all the time i noticed also something else ... i hope you will look into it or fixed it already but .........

when i used setcpu core 1 was always online and i recognized or felt mikro stuttering when wiping through homescreens or the app drawer ...

its something most people wont notive but i do !!

most people maybe dont care ... they just care about benchmarks or smth... idk

but it defenatelly disappeared when i uninstalled setcpu ...

i will try your beta kernel now and will report back ! hope the stuttering is not there. and guys ... please test it for yourself

i dont know why its stuttering a bit... maybe its a mpdecision thing which want to turn cpu 1 off all the time but it doesnt work you know :D that causes cpu time and the stuttering i think

edit: i think i overread smth... you disabled mpdecision ? (so ... did you already notice any stuttering or lag)

wow: i knew it ... my phone is stuttering like crazy with this beta 2 kernel ... faux dont you notice that ? or is my phone broken or something ??

and only 46 pts in linpak multithreded test ! faux maybe you have to overthink your mpdecision cpu 1 online thingy i think ! (but who am i , im just a user, just a tip )

and i am just reporting guys ... i know its beta !

another notice i made .. it was stuttering ... and i looked into system tuner . cpu 1 was off . hhmmm ... installed newest setcpu and it was online ... now its not slow anymore ... strange..

aaaand i think at the moment there is no stuttering

but faux ... one thing ... i tested it myself ... i deleted mpdecision some weeks ago and turned on cpu 1 online all the time ... and the battery life was just half as good as before. i dont know ... maybe you fixed that or did something magic again in this kernel to improve batt life ... so keep up
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
When listening music (through the headset), the system lags a lot. Everywhere it lags. But, when not listening to music, it is very very fast.

I'm using beta2 on InsertCoin 5.1.6.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Will test battery life today, I just charged it
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
as i said !!! forcing core 1 to be onlline all the time isn that good für the UI performance i think ! and mpdecision is a good thing after all

as i said also i tested disabling mpdecision a few weeks ago ... and i came to the conclusion that this isnt good at all. i think when disabling mpdecision only work when you optimize the kernel too much to get it run smoothly all the time in the UI

forcing 1 online is maybe good for benchmarks but not for the UI.... i think ICS cant decide which kernel to use ... and that causes lag

in my opinion ... leave mpdecision... one core for UI and its smooth like butter

leave the second core for games and other high end stuff

period :D

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I have experienced zero lag. This has been the smoothest experience ever. Right now I have music on and I'm typing this and It's completely smooth :( there should be nothing forcing the 2nd core on or off except during deep sleep. I on purpose didn't reveal exactly details for my kernel changes to get unbiased usage.

Again, just as before, list the details for your setup. Ie, ROM, oc daemon enables, etc...
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Why don't you wait for a response before stating you observations over and over. You reported it, now wait for a response. Don't waste time posting another similar post only. Few after ur original question.

It's beta, chill out a bit. There's a lot to work on, the method of handling the two cores being on that list.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Thanks, I figured you were trying a blind test to see which works best (unbiased sample). Too many people fussing over cpus online instead of focusing on overall performance and testing of general functionality
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
chill man ... i added more stuff on my second post ... so thats ok ... and sh*t up .. i only want to help here

my rom : ARHD newest : base 3.32

setting clocks with system tuner. newest pro version

tried sebastianfm kernel and its simply smoother when wiping through homescreens and app drawer. cause core 1 is off

when i force 1 online even with sebastians kernel is has little stuttering when wiping through screens... hard to see for people who dont want to see it

same with your kernel faux and your way to force it ! disabling mpdecision and stuff . it simply just causes minimal stuttering and i notice that

and i know its beta damn it ... but i tried the same thing faux is trying at the moment weeks ago ...
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
I was experiencing heavy lag on InsertCoin 5.1.6 with airplane mode, music and screen on. Then suddenly the whole system lags and it didn't stop.

So I thought: maybe it's the combination of airplane mode and music, so I disabled airplane mode but no luck. Still lags etc..

Set-up: SetCPU v2.3.0.2 running 384-1512Mhz ondemand governor.

Screen-off: 192-810Mhz conservative.

I wasn't running a heavy game or something, just playing music.

Before the beta2 kernel I was running bricked v3 with the same SetCPU set-up.

I wiped cache/dalvik cache and fixed permissions afterwards.

Then waited 15min to let the system stabilize and so on.

The first 2 hours went normal: very fast and responsive.

Then it happened.

Now I'm running SebastianFMs kernel 1.30.2 and it's all fine.

Can't wait to try a new Faux kernel ;)

Thanks for your hard work!
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
ok haters gonna hate ok ... thats your problem ...

but i promise this is my last post to this !!!

i hate myself but i cant resist :D

i would suggest or recommend to drop the mpdecision thing and focus on other stuff
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
LOL your all over the place, "Chill man" and then "!!!!" in the next sentence. Im perfectly chill, man. No "!!!!" every few lines or never-ending sentences here. When I saw chill , i mean go play w/ your phone for a while and wait for faux, etc to work on this issue.

That's fine that ur sharing and trying to help, but you now mentioned you've deleted mpdecision 3 times now. Its def understood, as well as your results, now if you just follow your own statement and let the devs work on this. I guarantee we'll see progress.

Adding the same feedback numerous times doesnt do anything, no matter how many !!!! you add. Let others add feedback. If ur haing an issue, other are most likely having it also.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
as i said ... it was the last time :D

and by the way .... the whole mpdecision thing ..... ahhh just kidding ^^
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Testing kernel on openSensation cm9 atm, looks good so far.

Hope you can include the BT fix for AOSP/CM9. Is there anyway to increase SD Write/Read speed (buffers or something) since i noticed alot of phones getting lots higher speeds.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Bump... I'm mainly looking for battery life feedback :D The speed of this kernel should be fantastic (if you run everything default, NO CPU Profiles, NO OC Daemons, no other funky tweaks etc). There are many cool features already built-in for this open beta but I do NOT want to reveal them as yet to get some unbiased feedback and opinions (like Morphic's cryptic kernels ;) )
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Okay Faux, I'll try it again without SetCPU etc.
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
Still 3D stuff like Games and Benchmarks Lag and the phone gets hot :(

Didn't had this problem back in the day when i used your CM7 kernel, it was really fast and smooth :?
