Hi Yank...both phones are sensations and I had v2.6 on the previous sensation without any issues. Before I took a nand backup on the previous sensation, I wasn't having any issues. Before making that backup, I never messed with the vsync settings as previously discussed in the thread. I just went with the settings available in the aroma config setup menu.

Since I was intending to replace the previous sensation hardware with another sensation (due to broken volume button), I simply thought that I would just restore the nand backup from the previous sensation onto the new sensation. I, of course, rooted it first and flashed identical radios on the new sensation that were on the previous sensation before restoring the nand backup.

Everything seems to work very stable on the new sensation except the pixel salad issue from time to time on the new sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I don't think that you did any mistake in your logic, I did the same at the time when I had 2 HD2s, one daily and one dev, and that worked pretty out of the box...

I don't want to bring you bad carma, but maybe a hardware issue on the new one ? :(

You're still on 2.6 or have you updated to 010b4 ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Love your humor Yank :)

I'm still on 2.6.

Also just remembered that I the previous sensation was using ClockworkMOD recovery (non-touch) version and when I setup my new sensation, I flashed the touch version of ClockworkMOD recovery. I wouldn't expect there would be any issues like this, but maybe I should try flashing the 'non-touch' version of that recovery to rule that possibility out.

After that, I think I'll consider updating to 010b4 as well...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I've been using 4ext recovery on my Sensation, at first I was a bit disturbed by the "other" recovery, but I learned to love it, and now I miss it on my S3 and I hope the dev will soon be done with rewriting it so I can enjoy it on my S3 as well, on which I had to go back to conventional CWM and that was like getting back in your previous car, awkward feeling ;)

[HTC Sensation] Balikesirli:
I would like to describe a phenomenon:

If I set in Venom Tweaks -100mv, then I have random reboots.. but if i set in aroma installation -100mv, then it s stable .. :D

so:

Venom Tweaks -100mv and faux aroma installer 0mv -> not stable, random reboots

Venom Tweaks -100mv and faux aroma installer -100mv -> have fun :D

Venom Tweaks 0mv and faux aroma installer -100mv -> stable, works fine
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Strange, should in essence be the same (except if you both of course :D)...

[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Most of the time, rebooting does no good. Pulling the battery is equally as ineffective. Sometimes I just have to wait and it will start working again.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Is your problem while trying to wake the phone, or putting it to sleep using s2w ?

If it's while waking, consider raising your screen off max frq. that is a known issue for s2w.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
I haven't been using s2w even though I did enable it while flashing the kernel through the aroma config menu. The problem occurs while trying to wake the phone up using the good old fashion power button in the upper right corner of the phone and not s2w. I will try flashing the kernel again with a different config where I will try disabling sw2 and I will raise the max screen off max freq. I'll let you know how it works out after a few hours. Thanks for the suggestions.
[HTC Sensation] chlap:
I did reboot, and it works now. See later. Thanks anyway.

try to decrease GPU clock from 320mhz to 300mhz or 266 267mhz

[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate your suggestions. Unfortunately, I tried 266 yesterday, but no luck.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
I tried higher values for screen off and less undervolt, despite those settings worked fine with 10b2, but still I had reboots.

So I reverted back to 10b2 and none reboot so far!

Edit: Yank I was thinking that actually not only linux kernel changed but also GPU overclock, lowered to 300, maybe this made the kernel more unstable in 10b4

I just noticed you're still on 010b2-300, so if reboots start happening on 010b2 and 010b4 it may not be related to kernel, maybe a ROM issue ?

There are still mmc_blk_issues in your kmsg (maybe related ?) :

Are all of those experiencing reboots on a new ROM lately ?

[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:

[HTC Sensation] serio22:
It won't be disturbed, I used it like that before ;)
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Or maybe related to 300 version? With 10b2 320 no problem here.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Everything is possible, but I think it's quite unlikely. But certainly worth a try to use faux's binaries to rule it out.

But I use the same toolchain and Linux base system to compile as faux does and the only difference in the code are just a few lines of code where "<variable> = 32000000" is changed to "<variable> = 30000000"...

Here's the commit : https://github.com/yank555-lu/msm8660-htc-ics/commit/cab5bb672ed02eb45ff5146b2cbf838dc0ad6b67

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Yes, but maybe is the 300 mhz value to be, under certain circumstances, more unstable with sensation and some Rom. I wouldn't drop 320 version for the future... Maybe we could also give a different try with a 10b4 320, if it existed.

[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Managed to grab some logging data....see attached. Phone was working fine at one moment. I shut off the screen. Roughly five minutes later, without touching it during that time, I turned on the screen and the pixel salad was there. So, I immediately plugged into USB and grabbed some logs to share. The logs were fetched roughly 5 or 10 minutes after the mysterious event occurred that causes the pixel salad.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Can't see much in the logs :(

What you could do just to rule out any apps / mods etc :

1) Nandroid

2) Full wipe

3) flash ROM clean

4) don't install anything, just test if the pixel salad is still there

If it is, I stick with my assumption it may be hardware related.

If you don't get any pixel salad, flash the kernel and nothing more, and test if the pixel salad still happens.

If it appears, then it is kernel related, if it doesn't, then I'll blame some app or mod.

But this will take you some time, and I don't know if you can spare it...

Hey I was using Faux 10b4 without aroma for a while, and I would press the power button, then when I tried to wake the phone up, it wouldn't open, then it suddenly went to the splash screen and it booted up as normal.

[HTC Sensation] guidogsbn:
Hi m8,

this happened to me -with aroma- by undervolting -100. Then I changed it to -25 and everything is ok now. I tried this kernel for the first time since yesterday and I love it.

Touch sensitivity, speed, lower temperature an until now excellent battery power . It seems that I get used to it.

Thank you ( to the developer / s)!!:good:
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
@ sy224048 : Correct, I forgot to mention undervolting, which can very well also be a cause, raise it a little in case you lowered it...

Undervolting is nice in general, but will only give a very small benefit in real overall battery drain, so it's the last thing you can do to spare that last little drop of juice of your battery, but at the cost of rendering your system unstable, which is a high price for the very little gain if you ask me.

So you'd need to figure out at what undervolting your device still runs

reliably

on and stick to that, 'forcing' another 25mV lower doesn't really change much and may bring reboots / freezes.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Sorry just checking...

I heard that there was a new version of Linux? Does that mean that this kernel will get another update soon? Or are the changes not worth it? Sorry I know nothing about the process...which is why I have to ask! :D

I AM always amazed at the support and forward movement of this kernel. Thanks in advance to faux123!!!

Also to Yank555 for always being on the ball in terms of support questions and creating a user-friendly Aroma version quickly after faux does his magic!

Kudos all around! :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Followup post on this issue to share with others that might be following it.

Did a full factory reset and wipe, reinstaled the ROM without installing this kernel and the issue was still there a few hours later. Definitely not a kernel issue :)

This reinforces just how well this kernel has been developed.

Yank, is the hboot firmware responsible for screen display issues? Wanted to run a thought past you for some peer review. Since the display has an issue both in recovery mode and after it boots, what do you think about me trying to reflash the hboot? Which version would you recommend, and do you know where I can find it?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well, you caught me off guard on that hboot topic :o :D

Only considered this topic once, on day one when I rooted and never looked back / changed it, so couldn't say honestly, but don't think it is related, I consider it to be the boot loader, the bit of code that handles booting the system, like LILO or GRUB on Linux, but I could be mistaken here.,

If you have this issue also in recovery, I'd still tend to say it has to be hardware related, as recovery is just another Linux system (like a dualboot on a PC), totally independant to main system.

Never had this good battery life on my sensation ( after 21 hrs still 40 % rest battery by using telephone, bluetooth, wifi for google-play and some mails).

[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
Is it true that you should not charge the phone if its at say 80% for example?

As this will cause the battery to drain faster to 80 and then go back to normal until you do a full charge.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I tend to avoid it, mainly because I'm probably of the NiCd rechargable battery generation that had memory effect ;)

But sometimes I do because I have to, never noticed anything like what you describe so far... (on any of my devices)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
Present day cell batteries have no memory effect. Typically you charge to 100% for at least a half hour, then remove charger. Removing the charger extends battery life, unfortunitly cyclic chargers are not being used to date, probably due to cost.

I'm using this kernel (Faux 10b4) with ARHD 6.8.0 + LeeDroid tweaks on my Sensation XE and never had any problems.

I'm using no undervolt (0mV undervolt).

from my experience, if you're having problem with s2w sometimes not working (have to wake the phone using old fashioned power button), then set the screen off max frequencies to 702.

I always love this kernel from the first time I had my sensation.

am i the only one who gets crazy battery jumps on this kernel? any restart will cause it it to read battery level 10-30% higher than before. dont have this problem on bricked. other than that everything is perfect
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
crazy battery jump is normal, dude :)

remember, you are using ARHD ROM which has a script named battery auto-calibration script. it may increase the change of causing battery jump but not so frequently

it would happen with every ROM in every situation either with or without the battery calibration script with every kernel because this is not a kernel-related problem. You said you never have this problem with Bricked because you haven't experienced this :). I have seen it sometimes in all kernels

don't worry about this. It just a wrong battery read from the system. Your real battery level is not affected. Still the same
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
It's normal and it happens with bricked too.. don't worry it goes back to normal readings after a while
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
sorry forgot to change my signature. ive been on venom rom for a while now. been using bricked from ARHD to venom until a week ago. never had such big battery jump. with bricked its always within 5%. with this kernel however, its a different story. will try to wipe battery stats after this full charge and see if it gets better. if anything ill go back to bricked. these two kernels have very similar performance and features so im happy with either :D

also its kinda funny because it doesnt drop very quickly back to the last reading, so it seems like i get more battery life from restarting it lol

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
The problems were not reported now (when I shot too fast adding it again and uploading the kernel), but at the time faux introduced this mod in the first place, that was around may 2012 and users back then started having issues, so faux deemed the mod to not be worth the risk and removed it again.

Show-p, who had added faux's mod didn't remove it and still has it in his kernel.

So if that mod is so important, well then there is only one option.

I won't start remaking a Yank version just for that mod either, having two versions created way too much confusion with people even starting comparing and finding differences when the code was 99.99999% the same and only GPU OC was 300 in my compile instead of 320 in faux's.
