Yea, exactly. They say it can reach that standby time and that's based on the conditions of their own testing. And of course they use the most favorable conditions, meaning they turn everything off. So you can't actually expect to use it as a phone and get 300 hours standby :D . You'd have to turn wireless off and have the device a hair from 100% off.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Glad we could help.

Thanks for getting that questin Gtj94

anyone can answer?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Guys, please, this is a bricked-kernel thread!

Battery life depends on a hundred things (not to mention ...). The kernel is only one thing from it.

For chat or the competition in battery life, open a new thread, please.

[HTC Sensation] iba21:
are you using demon controller? what's you ma in standby?
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
I am using the v1.5 kernel on the NRGZ themed rom with sense 3.5. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the phone freezing on occasion when using the camera or galley or youtube? It has only happened twice, once with youtube after I watched a video and went to close out of you tube and also after I watched a camcorder video and went to close out of the video.
[HTC Sensation] parapent:
I have from 12ma to 200ma in standby :) (not as low as my HD2 min 4ma)

I use ARHD 3.6.7 with bricked on ondemand
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
200ma is in normally use with screen on at low retroillumination

thank you for your answer
[HTC Sensation] gvego:
Show-P,

Thanks for lowering the lowest voltage setting to 0.8V!

:D
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
Hm. 1.6b2 seems a bit slower than b1

Is it possible to tweak auto brightness in the kernel so it goes even lower in darker conditions? I've tried about every auto-brightness adjuser app on market and they doesn't seem to cut the cheese well enough for me.
[HTC Sensation] bm150:
good idea. Its good combo. Today I got 18hrs, and I am on 48% as I write this. Xe battery.
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
I get < 20mA with 1.6 b2 while asleep/standby using: Bricked + Energy.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
ok, thank you, maybe it's the rom, i'm using ARHD 3.6.7
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
My max is 118 I am able to go up to 178 but there really is no point to push it that far anymore
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
Not sure if it's a kernel or a rom bug, but when I am in the camera app and I press 'back' key, the phone completely freezes. I can only pull out the battery to get it working again!

Running Sense o Maniac 1.4.9 with Bricked v1.6b2 + camfix and AmazeCam v7 (shipped with that rom) + BR camera mod for Amaze
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I believe the br mod for amaze is for the amaze phone. Not the amaze camera addon. I think that is your issue.

Sent from my HTC Sensation in UR-Quan subspace.
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
Are you sure of this? Lots of users uses it on their Sensation and they have no issues. And also I read around that many people are getting their sensation frozen when quit from camera app.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
There is a BR for sensation and a BR for amaze. As long as you flashed sensation one you should be OK. If not then that may be why

Sent from my HTC Sensation in UR-Quan subspace.
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
Uhm, I flashed BR camera for AmazeCam Mod on Sensation.. I think :/

EDIT:

I flashed this on Sensation: BR CameraMOD - Sense 3.5 Amaze - v2 40mbps

Is it the right version? I have Sense-o-Maniac, Bricked 1.6b2, camfix 1.4 and AmazeCam v7
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Ah OK yeah I see what you mean. I think you flashed right one.

I already did this twice, phone still freezes quitting camera.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Would like to know this as well
[HTC Sensation] guinhill:
I use FauxClock 0.9 with the Asop kernel and it works well, so I would assume this is the same for the Sense Bricked Kernel.

Just install it, it's not like you will brick your phone if you have trouble with it.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
I can't even open it. It just keeps force closing.

How to report a kmsg? I'm having trouble with both camera and phone reboots.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
Do this steps after your phone reboot or If your phone freeze don't pull out the battery. Press vol up + vol down + power (All of them together) Until your phone reboot. Then use root explorer\es file explorer to browse your phone root. Go to proc directory. Then copy the file last_kmsg to your sd card and then to the computer. After that paste it at pastebin.com

Love this kernel, i'm on 1.6 beta 2.. dont know why but, sometimes, 29ma on standby.. on web browsing, 200-400.. when.. the other.. about 400-500

No freezes for now
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
When will you finally learn to open an issue at the issue tracker located at google code (just as written in the first post)? At least, most of the posted issues here in the thread already exist there. So you could just read at the issue tracker, if you find your issue there - use the comment function to add your logs there.

It's not that hard, is it?
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
I didn't know about that, sorry. Mea culpa.
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
Using 1.6b2..izit normal the lock screen is very choppy n laggy?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
One word: no :-)

Swyped from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
But mine yes le..any solution?
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
What governor RU using? And what are the set speed for sleep and awake modes (min and max values?)
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
using ondemand max frequency 1.3ghz and min is 384mhz..screenoff no changes
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
i lost 0% battery on 1.6b2 overnight with wifi and data off :)

but while using the phone it does drop quite quick.

might try 1.4r as people saying for battery its the best.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
You mean that you have 384-1.3Ghz for sleep?

Maybe try 192-384 for sleep (ondemand too).

I know it sounds counter-intuitive but that's how I have it set and I have no problems. (IC 3.4.3 and bricked 1.6b2).

Also try to freeze/uninstall any and all overclocking apps (having few of them installed may cause some strange effects when they compete for control over CPU speed settings). Bricked by default uses ondemand governor @1.5Ghz awake and 192-384 for sleep ondemand. Tell if it helps :)
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
does wireless n work on this kernal?
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Yes, I connect @65Mbit every day @home.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
mine dont seem to connect at 65, my PC connects at 65 while my Laptop connected at 54 but my Senny connects at 54 only.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
If after 8 hours overnight % shows zero drop as soon as you start using the phone it will plummet, it's just catching up with the misreported 8h no drop inaccuracy
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Well, must be some strange setting in your router config.

Here works quite well.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
It did not go down much too quick. dropped 1% as soon as I put screen on.

but all kernals I tried start to loose battery as soon as you use any apps.

doubt its my router as my PC connects at 65mb fine.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
I had a cheap router Linksys WRT120n and on the old firmware 1.0.04 I could only connect @54 with Sensation and when I tried to set my router to use only N connection I could not connect at all while my PC connected @165mbit. After flashing version 1.0.06 I could suddenly connect @65mbit with my Sensation. Try checking if when N connection are forced you can connect at all or try to find new firmware version :)
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
my router already has latest firmware :(
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Did you test forcing N? 20 and 40Mhz channels, maybe it does not like high channels, play with them both ways.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
Its got o2 firmware on it so cant force wireless n.

never mind thanks for help.

i'm wondering if u can mod the battery stats like faux's which i really need.. his can display every specific time app and game cost while others (inclu. stock one) put nearly all apps and games into the DISPLAY category...

edited for limited online storage and getting the reply.
[HTC Sensation] vivmar:
someone?.....
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Are you sure that this is not a rom thingie? :D

Haven't wasted a thought about that till now ^^

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

It underclocks before that to 384Mhz. If you manage to get your cpu that high with that clock, then you are either a very hot girl, or you are baking it. Which wouldn't make any difference :D

EDIT:

It was tried a few posts back. I think it didn't work. You may try it and report back though.
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
This kernel is just amazing, stable fast and unbelievable battery life for me. Running 0.7 just as it is. No system timer or setcpu and cfbench is giving me 11700 to 11800s

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Ofc, get me the sources and I will do it. But if you read the article, you will see that they are going commercial. So i doubt it will be available opensource. ;)
[HTC Sensation] trail1091:
I'm sure it's not the ROM issue cause i'm always using IC since sensation's S-OFF. I tried all the available custom kernels and only faux's can display battery stats like this.

Anyway thanks for ur reply;)

mate it's on all roms (stock too)

just go to settings/About Phone/ Battery /Battery use...

Well done for kernel show-p1984 : no bootloop since 0.2 lol
[HTC Sensation] LarsN:

Installation text of Bricked 0.7 #1 talks abt 0.6

Thanks,

I know, forgot to change that ;)

After I had seen that I thought: It's only in the installation so screw it ;)
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Thanks again for the great kernel, show! 0.7 is running great! What I like is that we get great performance with awsome battery life. Heres a screenie running InsertCoin SSE with your current kernel. I'm just running it with no OC app installed! No lag whatsoever :D
[HTC Sensation] LarsN:
With the long zip file descriptions only differring between versions at the very end (disappearing in the right margin in CWM) picking a file to install is sometimes a (slight) gamble. I first thought I picked the wrong one.

How abt using reasonable abbreviations in filenames to shorten text string?

Rgds
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
You can always see the version number. All after it may not be visible in cwm, but everything up to it is definitively visible.

Furthermore I think my filenames are reasonable, at least as reasonable as they can get without introducing cryptic numbers, where everyone would need to come to this thread to see what they mean.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Hey bro, you thought of keeping the 2.3.4 & 2.3.5 kernels seperate? Might be easier for you? Just cause you where saying about it hard to make it stable for both at the same time.

[HTC Sensation] -Howard-:
Errm I don't want to be overclocked silly question I know but will using an app like set CPU to go back to stock clocks effect both cores so they both run at stock speeds?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Make sure you are using WPA2 for your encryption settings. Wireless N spec requires WPA2 for higher speeds, not WPA or WEP. You should also be using AES encryption, not TKIP.

Annoyingly this is not common knowledge - even the Cisco APs at work (yes, the really expensive ones) don't point it out until you dig through the documentation.

If your PC is definitely connecting at 65Mbps then it's unlikely to be this, but it's worth checking. Remember laptops have dual antennas which wrap around the entire screen, whereas your phone has a much smaller antenna which won't get as good a range or speed.

What's the signal strength like to your router?

You also want to check that you're on channel 1, 5, 9 or 13 (for the UK) that's as far away from other networks as possible. Wifi Analyser (free from the Market) can show you what's nearby and causing problems.

Only set 40Mhz channels if your airspace is uncongested- 40Mhz channels on 2.4Ghz will cause serious issues with other networks around as it takes up a great deal of the available spectrum. The Sensation doesn't support 5Ghz Wifi (which has a lot more space for wider channels) so 20/40Mhz channels aren't a huge issue for you unless it's causing problems.

[Edit] Hmm, this is a total thread derail. My bad.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
Yes a set cpu type of app would affect both cores, they may run at different frequencies at different times but they will both adhere to your clock limit settings
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
yup it is set to AES and no other channel is clashing with mine.

Guess I got a buggy phone as my PC conencts at 65mb using a cheap usb wireless dongal.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Still going massively offtopic here, but hey ho.

While you may be on your "own" channel, channels overlap. You generally want to be as far away from other networks as you can.

See the first page of this for reference.

Lastly, unplug your dongle and try again. I bet it's interfering with your phone, but it's just a guess at this point without doing proper diagnostics.

[Edit] Wait, you've got a PC at 65Mbps, a laptop at 54Mbps and the phone at 54Mbps? That to me screams low signal or interference. Remember, wireless broadcasts in all directions; you don't have an individual link to a router like you do with a cable. You've got three radios talking to the same AP in the same place, and that will cause signal degradation on home-user or cheap kit.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
no

I have a pc at 65mb and laptop at 54mb fine but when with its just laptop on at 54 my phone only connects at 54mb.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
can someone please post default frequencies and voltages for this kernel? i tweaked it thru system tuner but it doesnt let me reset them so i sort of lost track of how much i undervolted lol. thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Mmmm, the paid version of System Tuner has a reset button to go back to default values.

Don't know if the free version has this possibility unlocked or not, but the paid version has it.

hey, how can i undervolt w\o using system tuner? I heard about some file that must be created, hm?

p.s. and btw... does system tuner override ram settings?
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
you can create an init.d file, or use the one attached. Unzip it and place it in /etc folder. you will need to set permissions and make sure permissions are: -

Read: T T T

Group T N T

Other T N T

T=ticked, N = not ticked

Enjoy. Note this will also set your phone to 192M Min, 1.5G Max, with On Demand governor
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
or this one which wont affect anything other than the voltages :)
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
another way, which wouldn't affect scripts in init.d-folder (192/1536 ondemand is also already set with this kernel) would be an init.post_boot.sh-script. if you (-DC-) would just have read the thread (or at least used the search function, took me three minutes to find it), you would have come here:

if you start reading here and go on for the following ~3-4 pages, you will get how it is done. just to let the discussion not start again :)
[HTC Sensation] -Howard-:
So i can use an init.d file to control the speed of the cpu? Instead of using an app? Never knew that... Is that right?
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Yes, you can set the speeds you like using the init.d script. Just change the numbers.

@smint86

....the search function is crap. if you eventually find what you need its useful, mostly you dont. people should stop harking on about using the search
[HTC Sensation] -Howard-:
Could anyone throw me together a init.d script with stock htc speeds? Its okay if not ill wait to be at my comp.

Anyway... Kernel is great super smooth with the insertcoin rom :)
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
here. if you dont want to undervolt, remove the bottom half of the file. Instructions in post 3810 (back one page). I just changed 1536000 to 1188000

Does anyone know when exiting the camera or clicking on the gallery icon in the camera started freezing the phone? version? I was able to get it in 1.6 beta1 and 2. I cant remember if 1.5 had it or not. Love the features but need stability. Also, this is not caused by undervolting right? i only uv -25 which isnt much anyway. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Alganon:
HI tinker2000,

thx for this usefull post.

I have been working on I script to controle CPU without any app on my own.

there is one thing I have been wondering for a while now. Since our sensation has 2 asynchronous cpu's, shouldn't we apply this scripts to both cpu's?

In your script like this:

[...]
chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo "1536000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo "192000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

[B]echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online[/B]
chmod 666 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[B]1[/B]/cpufreq/scaling_governor
