I'm considering switching to the sensation from the g2x....anyone have any thoughts?

The quality of cm7 on the device is the most important factor for me, so if someone could provide observations on cm7 on the sensation it would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
There are a lot of people here *****ing and moaning about the "slow" development of CM7 for the Sensation but, from my perspective, it's nearly perfect as-is. The only things it doesn't have that I'm still awaiting are HDMI-out and 1080p video recording (720p works great if you modify the media_profiles.xml file). I'm coming from the MT4G, which has had nightlies forever, and I'm having no problem patiently awaiting nightlies for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
This rom on my sensation runs better than the nightlies on my g2x. You'll be happier here.
[HTC Sensation] djeddieone:
Anyone having problems with flash video? I can only hear it not see if

Any fixes anyone?
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
i am with you on this one. I VOW NEVER to by any other phone other than a Nexus phone. I am not angry at the dev's at all but at these manufacturer's and carriers. Both are to blame for these so called fragmentation and all the mess we find our self in. Also we have some fault here as well..... Anyway as soon as i can get my hands on the GN i can care less about any Quad Core or what not. I am really done with these manufacturers...
[HTC Sensation] epicroot:

[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Not really, They're just about tied. (rooted)
[HTC Sensation] tinason:
I was so intent on getting the Nexus Prime (as it was known then) when it came out, but once I heard it was made with the finest fisher-price plastic Samsung has to offer (read: cheap build quality), I had to change my mind. I can get a near similar vanilla ICS experience from a rooted HTC phone (which feels like a cadillac with their awesome build quality!).

I really wish HTC had made this Nexus.

:(:(:(
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
The rumor is HTC Zeta supposed to be the next nexus phone by Google will come with ICS. HTC Zeta will have 2.5GHz quad core CPU and 4.5-inch screen. Can’t wait for next year…

Nexus⁴ :D
[HTC Sensation] kennyo112:
...........I can't speak for the Sensation vs another device since it's my first Android phone (came from blackberry), but I have been using cm7 as my daily driver since alpha 8 - the only real issues I have are the one detailed on the first post (known issues). On rare occasion a bunch of apps/processes will all start to fc, but a quick reboot and things return right back to normal. Definitely makes the phone run a lot snappier and I love the features.
[HTC Sensation] dnlsmy:
Where did you get this from? Smells like utter bull**** to me, why would Google go back to hardware buttons after eliminating them in the last two versions? (Honeycomb/ICS). Hey, I would love to see the reincarnation of the Nexus One, but let's face it, Samsung has the processors and screens to blow away the competition, HTC only has metal, unibody designs. No matter what you say, the HTC Sensation is no match for the Galaxy S2, and the HTC Zeta should be no match for the GS3.

IMPORTANT: I don't want to debate unreleased phones because I think it's ridiculous, but this is what the pattern shows...
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Not to be offtopic, but an optimized OS on the Sensation is exactly on par with any SGS2 ROM...

Its just that Samsung does not bloat their ROMs and are much closer to a clean ROM, like CM7 is...
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
Can anyone running on the bricked kernel tell me if the occasional unresponsive power button bug is still there?

[HTC Sensation] SyLvEsTeR20007:
Where does it say I wrote it destroys the competition??? I said it whoops other devices. Im not talking about some silly quadrant score, im talking about non synthetic benchmarks. Web page loading times, the responsiveness of apps. I dont quite understand the testing methods but I do know enough to state that I believe in my humbled opinion that they were fair.

When I posted that comment I forgot there were little forum trolls out there looking to snap at other people just for the sake of adding another post to a forum page and putting another notch on the posts belt. Who gives a rats ass about the SGS II anyway, sensation forum here dude....

BTW, the reason you have only 5 thanks against your name dispite some 280 posts is because your posts are most likely that of trying to flame people and start fights... I on the other hand have only 148 posts but I'm sure that my 43 thanks are because my posts are not aimed flaming others...... Yes I know, its hypocritical to say that and then write this... but im in a funny mood today. :P

cm7 alpha 10 / render effects -> reboot

When I try to enable the render effects, nothing happens. But soon after that (some seconds), the device just reboots.

Regards, Thomas
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
Same here, except the reboot, just nothing happens.
[HTC Sensation] Rcommander:
So does this have HTC sense?

jk.. good job guys waiting for CM7 stable.
[HTC Sensation] hanlence:
Have you ever experienced that:

during a call, either turning on or off (backlight sensor causes) the screen will cause the device vibrate.

Don't know why. Gone after restore to a previous backup.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
For a lot of apps on the market it says they aren't compatible with my device? Anyone else getting that? I've already cleared market cache and data, no change....
[HTC Sensation] zyonee:
You probably changed the dpi setting in /system/build.prop.

Make sure it's 240, reboot, install/update the apps and then change it back to whatever you like. Then reboot again.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:

I'm about to try installing CM, MIUI and Sense to be used with Boot Manager, for the funs sake. Please let me know if you know it's a bad idea.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Thank you!

So you're trying a triple-boot? Interesting.... report back.
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Anyone know why order and chaos worked with sense I download from market go to play and tells me my device isn't compatible
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
I have been able to dual boot with boot manager, pretty cool app.
[HTC Sensation] player4lifeov:
Wow you took some time to really try and put me in my place. I suppose there is some truth to your accusation but I'm definitely not trolling. ALso you do realize that comparing ICS device to a gingerbread device is not a fair comparison. This is a Sensation forum so the Galaxy Nexus should have never been brought from the get go, just saying.
[HTC Sensation] SyLvEsTeR20007:
I'm a fast typer and thinker, Its perfectly fair to compare the two units if what your trying to do is get some idea of how well the new OS runs. True, its a sensation forum but provided the Sensation is at the heart of comment your retourt is nothing more than nit picking to try peice together a responce while grasping at straws. But fair do's...
[HTC Sensation] mikeschevelle:
Im sure this was covered but i couldnt find it in a search, I cannot find out how to get vibrate on incoming sms/emails
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Settings / sound / set vibrate to "always". Set to vibrate only on silent as default.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Strangely it changes back to silent only when I turn off my phone.
[HTC Sensation] bburke88:
Damn can't wait to try this. I'll be waiting till its a little more stable though.
[HTC Sensation] daerl:
Triple boot

Ive done that with those 3 roms, sense as my main, and CM7 and MIUI as second and third. works fine :)
[HTC Sensation] septix:
If you turn of your phone it wont ring anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] tsch:
Hi,

i tried boot manager, but could not get it to boot up with it's 'special' boot.img.

After flashing the 'resue' image generated by boot manager I could boot back in the phone rom. So no 'real' problem, but multi-boot did not work for me...

Will try again later, when it's more stable :-))
[HTC Sensation] mattykellyuk:
will our lack of stable or rc release hinder the speed in which we will get ICS?
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Probably not.

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Boot Manager worked flawlessly for me, I can recommend - also I didn't notice any noticeable performance decrease with virtual partitions on sd card.

In the end I decided to do few nandroid backups instead and switch between them as I ran almost out of stock sd card space after couple of virtual partition installations. Should got a good 32GB card, but not until I know if I'm switching to Nexus or not. :)
[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:

---------- Post added at 03:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

Yeah exactly. I bet i could leave my phone and it will survive for days. Regular use is about 8-10 hours.. I work in a basement and I have the phone set to 2G and it survives about 8 hours.

Problem with service

I have a US Sensation (with modifications listed below). I am currently in the UK, and am unable to connect to any provider. The list of mobile providers in the area shows without problem, but it hangs at "Registering on $PROVIDER" (be it T-Mobile, Vodaphone, et cetera). I'm not sure if this is a phone issue, a ROM issue, or a user issue. Is there anything that I need to do to get my phone working on T-Mobile UK?

Thank you preemptively.
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
You have to call T-Mobile if you haven't done so and have them unlock your SIM to allow for International roaming. They lock it to keep people from internationally roaming without knowing or for the, for lack of a better term, idiots that would roam and complain about extra charges because they don't know any better. This way everyone has to call and T-Mobile can tell them extra charges will ensue.
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
Does anyone here know the number under "voicemail settings?" I've trying to figure this out with no luck. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I figured it out for Tmobile its +18056377243

[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
Thank you sir for that. I didn't figure it out till i checked out my other stock phone settings.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I have a question... I tried search, but this thread has gone out of control haha so search is not our friend anymore:(

Anyways, I was wondering if there is a fix for the sound, when using Aux out. It plays well for a little while, and then it goes to left side playing only. Its fixed after a reboot, but I cant stay there and reboot my phone every 10 minutes haha :D

I know its a known issue, I was just wondering if there is a fix already for it, or we are still waiting for one.

Thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] hawkeyexp:
Hi kmobs,

i hope we will see a newer release of gingerbread this weekend ! i know you are working on ics but please give us a newer gingerbread - hopefully with fixed batery-drain :-)

thx
[HTC Sensation] allen099:
I'm 100% sure he's working on this. I agree though; the ROM is near perfect and I loved using it for the past 6 days, but even after multiple calibrations, my battery dies after about 5 or 6 hours of minimal-to-medium use. Also it would be great to get the phone to detect my mic from Shure headphones, but that's not a priority. If battery is fixed, I'll be more than satisfied.

Thanks for your hard work, kmobs!
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
I have suddenly been getting amazing battery life. Now I'm not positive, but I THINK it may have to do with the gallery app. If you reboot your phone and NEVER use it, see if battery is any better. I have recenrly been getting a day and a half with HEAVY usage, when I used to get 8 hours.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
By AUX out are you referring to hooking your phone to a sound system using the headphone jack? Please describe your setup as using the headphone jack does not produce such an issue.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Check your cable, nobody else has this issue.
[HTC Sensation] hawkeyexp:
it's not the gallery - i removed it for testing :-)
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Wipe data again and let it sit for 10 mins on first boot. This allows everything to settle and makes a big difference in stability. My buddy gets 16 hours no problem.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Well, he's also working hard on ICS.

I wasn't saying it to knock it. Sense just has the features I want and the newer version is pretty snappy to boot. I just wish I could get the wiimote on it. Emulator gaming with it is so sick. Im an old school type of Guy and I miss it. Anyone know how to get it working with sense?

havent even tried this,,,, u lot are going on like this is a beta or rc... its to show progress so stop getting all *****y about it and if a feature is missing or broke go back to another rom and wait for the bug list and feature list change... 500+ replys of mainly absolute crap saying about gapps. shows how much of a noobedemic is occuring...
[HTC Sensation] jjdeveau:
Okay so.. For all of you who want a better camera. Here is the miui camera apk.

DO NOT JUST INSTALL IT!

#1 Open rom manager and Back up your Rom

#2 copy to system/app replacing the stock one.

#3 change the permissions but tapping and holding on the app and going to properties then hit change make sure the permissions looks the same as the other aps in the folder.

#4 open app let it install.

#5 I had to reboot phone then it showed up in my aps as miui camera.

The downside is the camera zoom still does not work and it does not support the front facing camera. tap to focus is working as well as the stock effects. it also has the panoramic view and is about as close to the sense camera as you can get right now.
[HTC Sensation] fejker:
Didn't care to fully read and understand my post about battery life, did you? :rolleyes:

No need to reflash, just charge the battery fully, then go into CWM and clear battery history under advanced. This worked for me and am now getting normal battery consumption. I took it off the charger at around 16:00 and it's 20:30 right now, the battery is at 97% with a longer phone call and some data usage.

What you can try is enable "left-hand mode" under call settings. Haven't tried with this setting off, but with it on I don't have this issue.
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
Gonna have to agree with you on this one.
[HTC Sensation] :
I wouldn't go out and say that this is BETTER... it's lacking FC and people on here are going on and on about the gtalk video chat app... it's just an alternative. However, thank you for the attempt!
[HTC Sensation] Elemenopee:
What calling bug? I've been making and receiving calls all day yesterday and today and I haven't notice anything.

It's working great for me so far. Small bugs here and there, but it's a nice daily. It isn't as fast benchmark wise as ARHD 3.1.1, but i have high hopes for this ROM. Looking forward to seeing a Faux123 kernel :D

For all those with horrible battery life, are you using Locale? My battery life was dire. Maybe 8 hrs a day. I tried all kinds of experiments to find out what's going on and i finally noticed Locale has some issues with finding location using wifi. It seemed to keep switching the wifi on and off a few times a sec and it was killing the battery. I switched to tasker and used cell phone tower location and yesterday I had 16 hrs use with 61% battery left.

I'm not sure if this bug affects other apps, but keep an eye on the wifi even if you think you aren't using it if you have bad battery life.
