i don't wanna bet money on it. The ICS launcher I've seen looks a lot like it. It may also just be a custom rom ... I kinda hope that android does more with ICS than that actually *fingers crossed*

a couple of wifi answers

With too much time on my hands last night I undertook to try different combinations of radios and RILs to see what the differences were.

- I tried each combination with a full wipe

- I used only the alpha7 stock kernel

- radios were:

10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 (newest)

10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 (previous)

- RILs were:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ (newest - matches .15 above)

HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ (previous - matches .14 above)

- tested wifi and data speeds with speedtest.net

- I'm a Tmous user in Minnesota.

- wifi router is a Linksys WRT54G

First off, I can tell you that the HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ RIL simply doesn't work with either radio. When this RIL was used, my APNs would disappear. No signal at all. Big fail. Therefore all tests were done using HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ. Fortunately, that's the RIL packaged with alpha7.

The .14 radio data speeds seem a little better than the .15. (I'm not terribly close to the nearest Tmo tower - about 2 miles over hilly terrain). I was able to lock on to 4G speeds more often with .14 than with .15. Speeds tended to be ~1600kbps with .15 and ~2800kbps with .14. I performed at least 3 tests with each to the same Chicago site. While wide variations existed with all the tests, speeds for .15 never exceeded those of .14.

Wifi d/l speeds on .14 were terrible. They would never exceed ~1000kbps and were usually lower. Wifi speeds for .15 were pretty good, always over 9000kbps and a couple tests were over 10000kbps.

For me, the easy answer is to stick with the newer .15 radio. While sacrificing a little in 4g and 3g data speeds, the wifi performance more than makes up for it.

Fwiw, both the .14 and .15 radios locked on to GPS quite quickly, usually within a few seconds. I didn't check accuracy.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Im on the previous radio and get wifi speeds of 15Mb/s at my university, and 10Mb/s from my wifi at home.

[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, I get 14-15 Mbps down for WiFi. No issues here.
[HTC Sensation] jab1972:
Is anybody else having problems with GPS?

Getting this on both Sensation CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 6 and 7 and using both radios 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2.

GPS will fix and drop after approx 30 seconds. When this happens the GPS icon disappears.

I get this with both Co-Pilot and Google Maps.

Sorry if asked before but couldn’t find any reference to it.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Hm....XDA just said it's a fake... it's a honeycomb ROM and moded for XDA... Let, we will see : )
[HTC Sensation] ArcticWolf91:
Yes, GPS has been a little iffy for me as well.
[HTC Sensation] Sammydr10:
Every time i try flashing a new radio, my phone never boots -_-

anyone know why?
[HTC Sensation] xanderdad:
Flash the radio. Reboot into recovery and clear the cache partition. Reboot and you'll be good. You'll likely have to remove the SD card before you boot into recovery if you flashed via hboot.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
The reason for this is because the RILs are wrote by the CM team since they have to talk to the hardware different then the Sense roms do. Flashing any RILs will require you to reflash the ROM.

I would like to get kmobs to comment on this. But no SENSE mods or files are compatible at all even the RILs
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
As I mentioned, I wiped and flashed anew for each and every radio and RIL.

What could possibly be conflicting with my camera settings? I never changed a setting between when it worked fine and when it didnt..

Also, Whenever i try flashing a radio in the H-boot menu i get a soft brick, do i need a ENG H-BOOT to flash radios?

Its just so much clutter in this thread, that the important and somewhat new bugs are being absolutely lost in tons and tons of questions that have been answered over and over and over again.

And that wouldn't of happen if people just used that neat Search option, or were just reading some of the information, that is all over the place..

Anyways, dont get this as an attack to you, its just something thats been bothering me a lot, and decided that its time for me to finally say something about it.

Glad you got your problems solved :D

Ok I hope no one here rips me a new a** hole for asking.. but where is the sense...

Just kiddin im not that big of a moron.

So i tried to move over about 2gigs of music to my sd card 8gig class 4 (stock sd card) My write speed is only about 133 kb/s and is going to take 4+ hours to transfer over. Is this due to the kernal or the rom? i just switched over from ARHD 3.6.1 and my god this is sexy and the only real bug i can find is that. Anyone know of a fix i checked the fix thread and searched this one but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem..

using newest radio and rom.

I guess the only thing I can say is to do a nandroid...

-Wifi calling app crashes upon bootup and fails to run, always force closes (I have a USA Sensation)

-Dialpad is a bit small (scaling issues noted in the first post)

-I wish the camera app for both photos and videos shows resolution sizes! Especially for video I'd like to take videos at qHD (the screen's exact resolution)

Also there's only 1 option for 'HD' I'm guessing that's 1080p? what about 720p mode?

I've got a WEIRD graphical glitch/issue.

I have a background wallpaper and a part of it is completely white, when i tap the app drawer (all black) the white part shows for half a sec then disappears.

[HTC Sensation] ramsrocker:
you'd think that it would be in the bug list right? Is this well known? and is there any way around? i mean at this rate i could upload it to THE cloud. and download it back off with dial up and it would be faster.

whoa sorry about all my typos there...that was me typing at an odd hour in the morning and being way over tired.

I kept hanging up and it kept happening so I gave up and then I called my friend and it was fine. Right after I called my Vm and it was fine. Seems really random but frequent enough that I'm considering waiting for something more stable. What kinda phone can call itself a phone if it can't make calls :D

All aside though I love the battery life and speed of this rom...really impressed.

Best way is to boot in to recovery and use the option to mount USB storage. That way the speed is normal.

When I then go back to adb push the build.prop, everything works just fine...

Its my understanding that you cannot change or tweak the build.prop till CM7 officially releases the final version.

[HTC Sensation] dsp4774:
I downloaded the high version and installed through CWM. I wiped cache and Dalvik, fixed permissions, and rebooted. I can say that HD recording does not work at all and that trying to use it ultimately led to a FC. Is there something more to this that makes it work?

No, I read what you wrote. Perhaps I didn't understand your reply. Or perhaps your reply wasn't clear. But I definitely read it. :-)

I understand now what you wrote. Assuming you're correct, and I have no reason to doubt you, it would explain why I couldn't flash and use the previous 169 RIL with alpha7.

It's interesting that the alpha7 RIL version as returned by getprop would be identical to the flashable version. One would think it would be identifed differently, since you're saying it *is* different.

Also would the radio have anything to do with battery life? I have yet to apply the recommended radio in the first place. Should I? I'm running with T-Mobile in California.

Thanks for any support!
[HTC Sensation] dsp4774:
Do you use wifi alot? If so, you may want to tweak a setting.

Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> menu button -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy: Never

As crazy as that may seem, I think it's responsible for my fantastic battery life. If you're a wifi user, give it a shot.
[HTC Sensation] j0hnnyn:
Unfortunately i'm not on wifi that often.
[HTC Sensation] kusotare:
Some basic tips for you:

1. Limit services that do automatic check-in. If you're not going to be using one, make sure to kill it.

2. If you're going to be in an area that has no signal, turn on airplane mode. The phone constantly checking for signal is a huge battery drain.

3. Calibrate your battery. Let it run until the phone shuts off. Power it back on repeatedly until it wont turn on anymore. Put it on the charger and let it charge while OFF until it's fully charged. Then let it sit for an hour or two more on the charger. Turn on the phone, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

4. Remember that a lot of these people who are reporting ridiculous battery life are very causal users. I can easily pull 2 days off the charger if all i'm doing is checking my email and maybe making a couple short phone calls. If I'm doing heavy browsing, using the camera a lot, texting, checking maps, playing games, etc, as I usually do, I'll be lucky if I get 10 hours on a charge.

Play smart with your phone and it'll last a good while. Just remember to take the "OMG IM GETTING OVER 9000 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE" stories with a grain of salt.

[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Number 3 is bad advice. You should never completely drain a lithium ion battery.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Ya, completely draining a lithium ion battery shortens its lifespan. Just use an app to calibrate the battery or wipe the battery stats in CWM.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I believe that the battery has built in under/over voltage protection built in to keep you from damaging it. My battery cuts out around 3.4v and I believe that damage takes place a little below that.

EDIT: A quick google found that this is true. Any GOOD Li-ion battery will have both UV and OV built in. UV is from 2.3 to 2.8v and OV is around 4.25v. That is about what I thought, and should mean that there is no way you can harm your battery unless the protection circuit fails. So, seeing as mine cuts out at 3.4v or so, it would BENEFIT to have this value lowered somewhat and let the battery discharge more than we are getting away with.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Correct. That's why turning it back on after auto shutdown isn't the best idea. The :)

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Not quite...It depends on what your battery voltage is at auto shut down. Our phone does the charging via programming. The battery has its own circuit that ONLY kicks in in the event of OV or UV (less than 2.5v or greater than 4.25v).

If your phone decides your battery is dead at 2.5v or so, then leave it alone (charge it). If it shuts off at 3.4v then there is likely an issue with the charge program. Same goes for over voltage. I need to check my GF's g2x battery voltage and see where it cuts off at.

Ill bet our battery life sucks because they are being pre-maturely shut down, but there isnt anything you can do if the phone feels that 3.4v is too low. It will just keep shutting down. We need a way to lower this threshold some, but without getting close to the battery's OWN protection circuit triggers).

Does this happen to anyone else? I have Pandora or Spotify BT streaming in my car. I make a phone call, once I hang up the Music app hijacks the audio and I am unable to close out of it.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I don't think the camera focus functions are working except for touch to focus. I can't get autofocus to focus, nor macro, or anything else. I have to use touch to focus if I want it to focus on anything other than standard focus distance. Is this because I have prefocus disabled in the advanced menu?

Edit: Not because of prefocus being disabled. But I either have to use prefocus or touch to focus. Autofocus works fine in apps like Goggles or Barcode Scanner, but not the camera application, unless I use prefocus and wait for it to focus while it takes the picture. I would much rather be able to take pictures instantly though without the focus delay. It shouldn't have to do that.
