Chev: I'd never get upset over something like that, I know the risks involved the second you jailbreak the phone! :-) I'm giving it a try right now...will let you know.

Do you have any feedback on my backlight issue with the buttons below the screen?

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

OK...note to self and others: Never remove an SD card while your device is powered on...you will FRY IT!

BTW: I upgraded from an HD2 to this Sensation 4G.

I have to say I like the HD2's hardware form factor a bit better (taking the battery out is a pain with the Sensation 4G!

Success!!!!!!

Obsessive compulsively superwriting & formatting the SD card and a fresh install worked! I have my widgets and can move apps around now! Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Hopefully someone can help me with my backlight problem also!
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
UPDATE: (and FYI) I narrowed down the reason that was causing the Widgets and Apps to disappear: In Settings>Developer Options>Apps: If "Don't keep activity as soon as as the user leaves it" is checked, THAT is what is making the Widgets and Apps disappear.

Wow, I read UPDATE and I thought: Energy Sense 4 is here!!! :(
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
ROM update for the Amaze leaked yesterday and has WiFi calling working. So perhaps we'll get some bits from it to get everyone's WiFi calling working 100%.
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
Maybe we don't see new 4.0 before everything on it working:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
The only selectable feature that I can seem to find that would have anything to do with your capacitive backlight behind the bottom 4 buttons is in leedroid tweaks, of course. But all I can see is that it is either set to default, always on, or always off. I suppose you already checked that out, otherwise you wouldn't be frustrated over it for no reason. You superwiped and formatted sd card, complete new clean ROM install and the backlights still do not work as they are supposed to. Have you already PM'd the Leedroid Tweak's inventor; or developer?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] -DC-:
energy will be the last rom with sense 4.0... but i think it will be the best. I still hope we can see it before sensation becomes a piece of crap... (

[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Chevy: I am going to message him right now. What version of Firmware are you using on your TMOUS Sensation 4G? I am starting to think maybe its a firmware issue. Is it worth switching to something else?

The first one I ever flashed on there was "PG58IMG" which was all directed from the Energy ROM's installation instructions. Someone else told me to put version "Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M" also however I am not seeing a big difference between the two.....

I wish someone else could shed some light on this as it seems like you are and Chris are the only ones that read my post or mentioned anything about it

[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
LeeDroid tweaks that comes currently with engery's rom is causing your problem with the back lights. Simply download the latest version of the tweaks from here: install through recovery and that will sort your issue for you!
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Ghost: Thanks a million for the reply! I knew it had to do with Leeroid Teaks but I wasn't sure if it was a version issue or a FW issue or what!
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
No problem. As long as you have the latest firmware: Hboot 1.27 you'll be able to run ICS. You can download the firmware from here:

With that Hboot you'll be able to run ICS with sense 3.6 like this rom and sense 4.0 roms!

Oh and my back lights are now back to normal with the new version of tweaks! :)
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Ghost: Thanks again for all your tips! Unfortunately I cannot find the download link anywhere in that thread your directed me to! I did a general search of the entire board also and couldn't find the direct link anywhere (If I overlooked it, could you point me in the right direction?)

Thanks a million again!
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Which download link. Is it the one for the firmware or the one for the tweaks. If it is for the tweaks, you go to the 5th post and download from there!

Chris:

Baseband Ver: Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M (For some reason the U on my phone is a P instead).

Build Number: 3.32.401.5.CL309896 release-keys

Originally I had flashed it with the version that was in "PG58IMG" but then I saw a post from another ROM that indicated that the one I am on now is better for TMOUS users on the Sensation 4G.

Another observation: The ROM itself is causing this lack of backlight on the touchpad keys because when I go into the bootloader and then run 4-EXT recovery...the backlights work (they never go off and stay on all the time....but they work). Another thing is that on the older version of Leeroid Tweaks I had, the ROM would boot up with them totally off and when I opened Tweaks, you could turn them on and dim them there, but they still do not work the way they should. The lights should come on when touched and dim after a certain amount of time when not touched. (It has been so long since they haven't worked, I can't remember anymore!!!!)

I'll give a kidney to the person who can figure this issue out!!!!

[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
This might be a little off topic but want to share...

I have been reading up on a lot of reviews and opinions on the HTC One S from T-Mobile on this forum along with cnet, engadget, and others. I was just toying with the idea of getting a One S to play with but use my Energy based Sensation still as a daily driver. When I called T-Mobile they were, I guess, nice. I was going to get the phone at a discount, but! The t-mobile representative, a long story short, convinced me to wait until the next HTC phone comes out due to the One S lacking a lot of features that the Sensation has. He made it sound like I would be somewhat disappointed if I got that new phone. He said HTC should be releasing new phones in anywhere from 2-3 months up to 6 months that while have a lot more features that the One S lacks of right now.

I am not advising anyone what to do, those who may actually be in the market for the new phone. Just wanted to inform you of what I heard from T-Mobile themselves about the phone.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Chev.....I might not know tons about ROMs and such but take it from someone who used to work for them (and not in a store either)....

They want to sell you a more expensive phone!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
They want to sell him this. And if it has a removable battery + MicroSD slot, they might even sell one to me :D .
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
I had no idea about all that. I wouldn't doubt it one bit that they want to hold me out for that phone when it comes out. It makes me wonder, why on earth did they decide to bring the One S out to the market when they will be releasing the newer version of One X later in the near future? People will be pissed that they are stuck in that damned contract and wish they would have known to wait for the better phone.

Oh, by the way. I have dropped my Sensation onto concrete several times. It still runs like a charm! They will have to come out with something similar to the Sensation 4G for me to switch daily drivers.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Some people already feel like that regarding the Sensation, given the Amaze came out just afterward. But, the leap from One S to a true One X type device will be much greater than the differences between Sensation and Amaze.

Gotta keep your ear to the ground these days. I knew the Amaze was coming when I got my Sensation, but I knew the differences were no big deal.

The days of being able to enjoy owning "the best" a carrier has to offer with one purchase a year are over. Everyone will either have to learn to settle in with what they have or buy a lot more devices :D .
[HTC Sensation] odes:
And now with the Samsung Note possibly headed to Magenta (so rumors suggest) what will we all do? Whatever comes out will hopefully get an Energy Rom for me! Unless they build in a remove bloat and tweak everything option, of course. :)

I too have dropped mine several times, with stock rubber case on, not dings, no problems.

[HTC Sensation] anarchychris:
Please note all firmware updates are contained in "PG58IMG" files. This is how the bootloader identifies it as an update.

If you are running the latest energyROM ICS I would recommend installing firmware version 3.32. As i am not currently running this I can't confirm the baseband version details. Maybe someone else can clarify.

Please refer to the below firmware update forum link posted by ghost for further details

Always confirm md5 before flashing firmware.

I don't think this is an issue with the ROM because I installed the latest energyROM ICS without the issue you are experiencing.

You could install firmware 1.17 and use the latest Gingerbread EnergyROM Feb 6 2012. It is as good as GB gets and a much better option than going back to stock.

That's good advice!

I'll keep that in mind if I seriously consider downgrading like that but I am not giving up hope!!!!!

I really am starting to think its an issue with the ROM itself because when I boot into Recovery, the touchpad lights come on (they never go off) but they at least come on. I have no idea about the other sensors since it is just in Recovery mode.....no real way to test them.

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

I downgraded Leedroid Tweaks to 4.0.0 and it at least brought them back to light up....they stay on all the time though.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
What version of leedroid tweeks do you have? In fastboot what do your hboot and radio versions show as? I have hboot-1.27.1100 radio-11.22.3504.07_M. You have a sensation 4G or ex? I have 4G tmous sensation
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
I started out with 4.1 and the lights came on but NEVER went off. I installed 4.2 and NO lights worked.

Now I put 4.0 on and they are on again, but ALL the time which is a battery drain.

I'd rather put up with that than NO lights at all which is what happened in 4.2

Its just really frustrated because I find similar topics all over the site but no definitive answers at all....

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM ----------

Chris, off the topic. Do you know how to remove a bootscreen when you turn the phone on? I installed a core droid ROM previously and its been stuck on that one and I want to change it to something else....any tips?
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
What about the rest of the info? You got you fw updated correctly right. Boot animation can be replaced at any time. It's in system/customize/resources I believe
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Hey Johnson: What do you mean the rest of the info? I installed the second version of the FW I found and it changed my readings a little which I put in my previous post. I am assuming that this is the correct FW for TMOUS users?

Mario, sorry to chime in and you've probably done this (but I've slept since I've read that) but, have you done a total wipe and reinstall of everything? I don't have the TMOUS version but I am running Energy and have no issues and nobody else has said they have this so I'm thinking there is an issue with your setup. Corrupted if you will. The only way past that is a full strip down and start over.
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
We've already done this.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
I can do it again for ****s & giggles. I really don't trust any of the backups I make in 4EXT or CWM because they are a direct backup of everything including any corrupt data that might be causing any weird behavior.

A dude from another thread suggested installing this App called Keyboard Backlight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.kblight&hl=en

It actually works great, however, it is a band-aid on top of the real problem. I have to go into Leedroid Tweaks and turn the lights on, then AFTER that the Keyboard Backlight Controller APP takes over and dims the lights on/off according to the LCD screen. Both are taking Superuser permissions at each point of turning on/off.

Better than NOT having any backlights at all I suppose, but the OCD engineer in me always has to fix the root of the problem.... LOL

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

johnson8cyl suggested I play around with various Kernels....but for some reason that scares me a little, unless you guys have another opinion on that....
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
@ Mario. Have done some thinking on this and it might be complex so here goes.

Lights come in in Recovery which is independent from the android os. That means it's not a hardware prob. Also means the recovery trips the capacitive backlight.

Show-p integrated a slide to wake feature in his kernel and the backlight comes on when you touch the home key to start the slide which tells me the kernel might have control too.

Tweeks can control them judging from leedroid tweeks options.

Android also seems to control it natively through the power save feature due to the fact that when your battery gets low and it goes into power save mode it prevents the capacitive backlight from coming on.

Could be mistaken in some of this but that's my logic. I'm wondering if you might have a rouge app interfering with the power save feature of ics on the level of the backlight? Any task killers? Battery saving apps such as juice defender? Any mods on top of the rom? Just a shot in the dark but an idea. If you want to try a kernel we can point you in that direction as well but no one else here has this problem and have been on different kernels as well as the one packaged with the ROM?????????
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
I think everyone is at a loss for words tbh. This is isolated just to you. The task killer that comes with the build is also on stock and is fine. Only kills tasks when you tell it to do so. I would suggest you get rid of the third party task killer. Tons of info on them causing more harm than good. Android takes care of the task management fine natively. If you are going to start from scratch I have a few suggestions.

I remember you saying you had something like a boot screen left over from something else so maybe you didn't have a clean install to begin with. I would copy everything from your sdcard to your pc and reformat it through 4extrecovery. Then copy everything back over. Use superwipe then wipe everything manually. Then install fresh rom after verifying the md5 is in fact correct. If you use rom cleaner then flash that right after the rom before booting but nothing else. Maybe something will get rid of this major glitch.
[HTC Sensation] JaxChris:
Random Vibration?

Haven't seen a resolution posted about this yet.

I have noticed two things about this vibration, on my device:

1. The vibration does not happen at 12am/pm, or the first time it is awoken after those times. This past 24 hours, for example, it happened at 4pm->3am->1pm.

2. Almost every time this happens, my non-push email accounts stop checking on schedule (or if it's manual at night, it won't start again when it is scheduled too).

This makes me wonder if this vibration is actually some type of indicator that a process has crashed/closed unexpectedly. Below is why I believe this is some type of feedback to a crash event, similar to the Strict Mode warning for long operations under Developer Options.

If I go into Settings > Send & Receive > Update Schedule, and right back out, it will activate the update service again and resume checking email without my intervention. I have 3 non-push accounts and I only need to go in and out of the schedule for 1 account and they all begin working again.

I'm going to Enabled ANR messages to see if there is a direct correlation to this, but it seems to be bugs in particular services that HTC hadn't resolved yet in this build that are causing it -- and not a native task killing script (unless HTC & ICS are conflicting on memory/task management).
