[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
That phone has HDPI resolution. Sensations have qHD resolution, which means different density.

HDPI= 800x480 and qHD=960x540
[HTC Sensation] boakun:
my battery is doing odd things since flashing this, ill be at 93% then 60%, removing battery or simply rebooting brings it back to 87%
[HTC Sensation] trickinit:
So is mine.. it usually won't charge up to 100% either when it's left on the charger all night. The other day it dropped from 76% to 46% in a matter of about 5 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] boakun:
try removing your battery and putting it back in then see if its higher than 46%
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Hmm weird...my phone has rebooted three times today.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Voicemail notifications aren't working that well for me either. I also use Google voice.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
+1 on the battery issue, but I've been having that issue on more than just this ROM. I was having that on ARHD 4.1, so maybe this is an android 2.3.5 issue? Rebooted once and battery went from 42 to 14, rebooted again and it was at 11, took the battery out, put it back in, back up to 46.
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
BUG ? bottom launcher disappears after 1 day of usage :confused:

reboot solves it but it'll disappear again after 1 day
[HTC Sensation] boakun:
kernel issue?
[HTC Sensation] chewwy420:
same here, google choice doesn't seen to be updating to notify me of voicemail or voicemail. Worked in stock rom.
[HTC Sensation] sheetmetalninja:
anyone that changed their density on CM7... do you have issues with market apps not being compatible with your device alluva sudden? or is it just me?
[HTC Sensation] aiinjylls:
The only app that gave issues was wifi calling (FC). Other than that, none that I've encountered
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
I didn't say anything for a couple days now, but I have this also. I was thinking my battery was going bad.
[HTC Sensation] trickinit:
Me too. I've been trying to experiment with it and see if I could find a resolution. I've tried recalibrating it but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
[HTC Sensation] ArcticWolf91:
Yes. If you change the density some apps will say not compatible.
[HTC Sensation] Babbar Sher:
+1 on battery percentage decrease, I don't think it happened on version 6
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Does the speaker become distorted for anyone at random times?
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Had a bit of an odd thing happen yesterday. I cycled home from work (takes about an hour) and my phone was red hot when I took it out of my bag, and the battery had dropped from about 75% to 35% during that time.

Looking at battery usage in Spare Parts and sorting by partial wake time, there was nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected. So I wonder what on earth was using the battery?

I've now got SystemPanel running to monitor detailed battery usage in case it happens again.

Running Alpha 7, BTW.
[HTC Sensation] techenthusiast:
This seems like it may be a stupid question but here it goes.

This rom comes with ADW launcher, can the rom be used without any 3rd party Launcher?
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
i dont think so ?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
ADW is the main launcher on CM. So if you delete it, you "broke" your phone. Btw, you can install the stock gingerbread launcher.

Why this question ? :p
[HTC Sensation] Chelsea FC:
You can use any launcher mate. Only deinstall adw after you've installed the new launcher.
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
I can't see "Market" any 1 can give me the link of google addon..?
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
googled it and took me all of 5sec to find it: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
how do i know which md5sum suit for me??
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
huh?

just go for the 2 most recent (1 only has the newest gtalk in it)- 1st sept 2011 i think is the date on them
[HTC Sensation] imkr1:
But now i can't even see the Market "icon"...
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
did u flash both files? vending.apk is in one of them... reboot between flashing each maybe
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Damn, you were right. Impossible to see. How about this?
[HTC Sensation] h4pppy:
The modifications are only needed for such 3rd party desktop cradles like the one here: http://shop.brando.com/htc-sensation-2nd-battery-usb-cradle_p06120c0199d005.html

As I looked for a cradle for my Sensation the HTC homepage linked to exactly this cradle but at Expansys. (In the meantime that got replaced by the HTC cradle CR S490 - the one I was looking for in the first time.)

I modified my cradle because it didn't switch my phone into any dock mode. Puting a switch with a 10kOhm and a 47kOhm resistor in it lets me switch between car dock mode and desk dock mode. Both worked fine on the stock rom, and both still work fine on Alpha 7, so every dock switching a stock Sensation to a dock mode will switch a Cyanogen Mod Sensation to a dock mode.

The cradle I linked above needs a modification for this. As I read the official HTC Sensation desk cradle CR S490 and the official HTC Sensation car kit CU S490 put the phone right away into the dock modes, of cause without any modification needed.

EDIT: I don't now what the USB-Audio-Mode-Thingy is, so I didn't test that with Cyanogen / Stock and my cradle (just to be complete here ;) )
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Hey Mr. Banana! What cpu speed is that? Which kernel? Thats pretty good! Do you notice the performance in your every day use?

The only thing left for me to want is smoother web browsing.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Using faux's latest kernel @ 1.78 GHz and, yes, this phone is crazy fast and browsing is as smooth as can be. I'll post up some browser benchmark scores soon. They're in the 80-90k range, I think.

Actually, close to 100k. Here you go:
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
Loving cm7 on my sensation..every other phone i have owned had some version of CM on it. The only problem I have is when I am switching songs there are some artifacts in the sound. Almost sounds like scratching a record. Anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
I was running the faux kernel for awhile too, but in regular usage I couldn't feel a performance difference between the faux and bumblebee kernels. Definitely faster on benchmarks for faux though!

I've gone back to the stock cm7 one, just because it makes updating to new builds easier.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
How does it make anything easier? There's no difference when updating.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
Just that you have to flash the kernel again after a cm7 flash... After you check that faux is compatible
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
You probably swiped it away, just swipe up on the bottom of the screen, happens to me too.

I have never heard of the word "deinstall" until now, must be a British thing lol.

Fastboot is the recommended way, so what you're doing is fine. I also had a little camera issue yesterday, I took a few pics in succession like within a few seconds of one another and it FC on me but doesn't happen every time only when trying to take a few together.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
That's post upgrade. It doesn't have any impact on the upgrade itself.
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
are you using the fauxapp too? if so what settings are you using?
[HTC Sensation] creonx:
Where can i get a pure cm7 for my Sensation? Im coming from arhd 361... But i dont want the random reboots anymore :( and it tooks too many power from the Akku. Is cm7 a good against this problems ? I want no more issues...
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Um the thread title says alpha so don't expect it to be without any issues but my experience is that they are relatively minor and this ROM is stable enough to use as a daily driver. I've been doing so since the first alpha.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] creonx:
Is there no last stable version available? Only in alpha stadium?

Edit: I need all functions working fine and stable. WiFi, cam, GPS. I read, with this alpha rls, there are some issues with WiFi, GPS and cam.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Not yet. But I have been using it since Alpha 1 - and I can promise you that you will not be disappointed :) This baby can easily say stable, but because it has a few bugs (camera and such) - its still alpha :)

Go for it, try it, and if you dont like it - go back to what you are coming from :) Its that easy, thanks to the whole "nandroid backup" process :D
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Stadium? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
Use it, for me, this is like a stable version. The only real issue is the 1080p video recording bug, it reboots after a couple of minutes. But 720p works fine.

[german]Nutze es ruhig, ich hab seit es raus gekommen ist keine nennenswerten Probleme damit und bin top zufrieden.[/german]

Stadium = state ;-)

In Germany, we call this "Denglish"
[HTC Sensation] blackstarnino:
What radio are you guys using?

Im on 10.56 and speeds are awesome but after a reboot its very slow to show data. Between 1-2 min after boot.

Anyone using 10.58?

I also drop to EDGE a lot at random times.
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
Don't read too much into that. I've tried other roms supposedly 'rock solid' which had more issues than this CM7 'alpha' has. Different cooks, different standards IMHO. :D
[HTC Sensation] blackstarnino:
Help

Well i just flashed the new radio through bootloader and stuck on splash screen.

Flashed old radio- stuck on splash screen.

Trying Restore now.......

Does a restore restore the old radio or am i in trouble?
[HTC Sensation] KrisHilbun:
Battery seems more consistent on alpha7, also when would unlock screen on previous alpha would hang for a really short time then would unlock. Haven't had the problem yet, noticed in previous to 7 I had issue with launcher lag when turning device back on.. Off animation? Dunno not happening anymore works like a charm.

Still low volume for ringtones and notifications tried volume+ didn't notice much of a diff any suggestions? Read somewhere could change db of the ogg files to make louder.

Otherwise amazing rom, daily since alpha 1 and I'm still enjoying!
[HTC Sensation] KrisHilbun:
Remove sd go into recovery clear cache and galvik, fix permissions works fine
[HTC Sensation] casanovafrankenstein:
I had that too where it won't let me run apps I've restored from titanium backup or redownload. Like audio manager. But they just fixedwith the most recent update. I think it's due to using 2.3.5, not LCD density
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
You just need to clear the dalvik cache...
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
Not sure if this is where I can report bugs but. when I'm playing a YouTube video and accidentally press the power button, the screen off animation is slowed down and when I hit the button again to turn it on, only the menu buttons light up. Had to remove battery to be okay. Well not really a big deal just thought Id share a finding. Other than that great rom love it. Not sure why my anker battle drains quick tho.
[HTC Sensation] nik.taylor:
I think I have an issue that hasn't been reported yet. I've been following this thread since day one so feel free to shoot me down if this has been reported. I get random hang / slowdowns. I've seen it about 3 times since alpha1 (cant tell you when it started happening). The last time it happened, I was playing angry birds and the frame rate dropped to about 1 frame every 3 secs. After a min or so, it came back to normal. I grabbed the dmesg with os monitor and it looks like it's related to CPU1. I posted part of it where I 'think' the slowdown happend. I'm on completely stock CM7 alpha 7. No replaced kernel or anything. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Yes. I forgot to mention that the leader of the cm7 project for our phone, persiansown (also known as kmobs) is somewhat of a perfectionist. He will not call it stable until everything works properly. It is stable though, just no camera zoom, fm radio, or 1080p recording yet it still ****s bricks all over sense.

For the fm radio, I use the third party spirit fm with great results.

[HTC Sensation] nbturbos:
The same thing was happening to me when trying to install faux's kernel, I would be stuck in bootloop with either one of his kernels. Anyone else experience this, or know what could solve the issue for me?
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Never cleared the dalvik cache. Just a standard cache wipe and I was up and running.
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Clear dalvik cache. And if you were trying to install the 1.78 oc try the 1.56 your chip might not be able to.handle higher oc
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
For the low volumes, go into Settings/CyenogenMod Settings/Sounds and at the bottom change the "-6bd" to "0db". It should make things a lot louder (It does for me...) :)
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
So your saying those settings are not just for headphones as stated? Because I don't notice any difference at all.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
For me, it makes sounds overall louder...

Is GPS working fine for you guys? Today after about 30 minutes the GPS started acting up... It lost signal and took almost a minute to find again, and it did this every couple of minutes...

I was in the clear with no buildings to dampen the signal.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] apeiron6:
Gps working fine. Only battery indicator shows wrong percentage after charging. I have to reboot the phone to show percentage correct value. I wiped battery log.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Yes, and I actually thought it had blown my speaker (still not sure actually lol)

Havent noticed it too much in alpha7
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
Everything workingfine just had a couple random shut downs today though also sometimes in calls I get a weird cracklingsound in the beginning causing me to call again and then works fine.. also still issues with Bluetooth as it works and sometimes stops on a2dp music until restart
[HTC Sensation] BobbyHill:
I am still having GPS issues. I thought they'd gone away after I'd installed the latest radio, but it is still weak and doesn't maintain a fix very well for me.
[HTC Sensation] ArcticWolf91:
Yeah I'm having some gps issues too. No worries though, I'm sure they'll fix it in an upcoming update.
[HTC Sensation] Bsketball:
Zoom doesn't seem to work for me in camera or camcorder, even with the volume buttons set to zoom. Also, is there any way to remove the lock screen? It's unnecessary for me.

Otherwise, great rom!
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Is Google Goggles force closing for anyone else after the latest update?
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
I think its under tablet settings
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
Settings -> CM Settings -> Tablet Tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen to be specific
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
The lack of zoom is a known issue.
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
Happy that hands free calling is working with A7 and my car radio. Plus Faux's kernel is so fast. Great combo! I didn't even try the stock kernel so it may be good too?
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Hmm-- I just tested a couple of scans with the latest Googles update and it seemed to work fine for me. That's weird.
[HTC Sensation] brd912:
I've became very confused after going through so many phones lately. With the radio zip,do I flash it via recovery? Boot into hboot and update? Or do I need to do it through my computer?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Unistalled and reinstalled, works fine now.
[HTC Sensation] jiggaman508:
Download the PG58.zip, put on root of SD card, flash via hboot, then reboot. If you get stuck at splash screen, pull battery and SD card, replace battery, boot to recovery and wipe caches. Then reboot and replace sd and you should be good.
[HTC Sensation] :
Not sure if this has been said yet but zoom works for front facing camera
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Its just a ****ty digital zoom anyway. Better to just take the snap and blow it up using Photoshop or gimp or something.

Last night something strange happened...

My battery was at ~70% when i went to bed. This morning my phone was off and i couldn't turn it on again. Then i plugged in the charger. Charging led turned on for a few seconds and then turned into flashing. Then i pulled battery, put it back an wasnable tu turn the phone on. Battery was at 3% then. Battery log is saying the same. From 70% to 0% instantly...

I have noticed that if I use google maps, the battery will drain rather quickly until I reboot the phone. I could probably just force close it from the apps manager as well. It doesn't seem to close some apps properly though.

The battery is draining with the phone in my pocket while I am at work, only checking it once or twice a hour. So far it seems that the day after I use google maps for something though, my battery will drain quickly until I reboot it.

What kind of battery life are people seeing? I've been getting 15 to 18 hours with 3.5 hour screen on with faux kernel and anker battery.

I can confirm that too - if i use latitude - battery drains like theres no tomorrow. If i dont - i actually get a good battery life

By the time I get to bed I'm down to 30% with average use. If I use wifi for an hour or 2 I have to recharge after. I'm on cm7 kernel and stock battery. The only gripe I have is that the camera sucks.

Im seeing decent battery life, and with the stock HTC battery. I got 18 hours yesterday with moderate use. (40min of phone calling, lots of email checking, music, lots of benchmarking, and plenty of web browsing)

This is WITH GPS ON and Background data ON. (Did a tiny bit of navigation too).

I just let the battery charge to 100%, then let it discharge each day. No wiping battery stats. My standby current gets as low as 5mA/Hr.

I am using Alpha 7 with faux's kernel. Speed is 1.56Ghz and I have undervolted by 37mV or so using System Tuner by 3c.

Give it some days guys, it will get better. Mine is always bad (8 hour life) when I flash a ROM or a new kernel. Each time you change the program some, it seems that your phone needs some time to "re-sync" with things before it all works right again. I know from digital logic, that you need to consider your signal's timing when doing even simple things like writing to an LCD, so I would imagine that this all must be greatly complicated by changing a ROM or a kernel.

well I do love Swype but the keyboard design is so ugly :( doesn't fit cyanogen at all. So I kept going back to the cyanogen keyboard because I love the design. But then I miss Swype because it is so much easier to type and so much faser ! I spent like 20 hours with Photoshop redesigning Swype to look like the cyanogen keyboard. Had to basically do everything from scratch since many of the Swype keys don't exist in the cyanogen keyboard. I found the font that was used to make the keyboard so that helped. Now I have the best of both worlds :D Had to create 22 different separate keyboards for that.. normal, shifted, caps lock, symbols, symbols shifted, numeric etc etc. and everything twice because I use qwerty for German and qwertz for English and all keys have different secondary functions on all keyboards o_o

So yeah I have qwertz and qwerty all done. Don't think I will be doing azerty.

Don't know if or how I'll post this tho since Swype is considered Warez on xda if posted as apk. It has to be modified and resigned.

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I have been getting average battery life. With pretty low use, meaning 1-2 hours of screen time, mostly texting and internet browsing, no maps or gps usage, and maybe 10-20 minutes of phone calls, it was at probably 25% when I plugged it in before bed, after 17 hours of being on the battery, maybe 18 hours. I had the same battery issues where it would drop from like 50 to 10% and then die. Flashing the faux cm7 kernel seemed to fix this. I'm using the fauxclock app to undervolt, I globally undervolted by 100 mV, the max the app would let me undervolt. I don't know how, but it's perfectly stable, which makes me think the app isn't actually undervolting the phone, but my battery life difference begs to differ.

Edit:

Damnit, I jynxed it. Not even 10 minutes after I posted that I had a low voltage collapse. I went soooo long without any problems too. Oh well, with subtracting 100 mV from every frequency I probably should've expected it.

Nevermind, I was right, the app isn't changing the voltages. But it is causing a freeze and reboot every time you exit the app and change the voltage again. I don't know why. And then when I reboot, mobile security asks me to re set up the app, and I lose all of my fauxclock cpu clock settings. Very odd. I replicated the crash 4 times with a logcat, and the logcat stops feeding before the reboot, so it doesn't show what specifically is causing the hard reboot. The last thing it shows is always a dalvik think.
