No, 1080p is actually still bugged

Those claiming HD recording now works, please just read the changelog. It says it's still an issue and I just tested it by actually letting it record until it rebooted after 1:20m instead of stopping after 30s and claiming it's all fine.

Just select High (30m) for now.
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
Interesting.. I tried mine on my sennheisers and moto s10hd.. Might try another wipe and reinstall.. After taking mr 2yo to kindergym :-D
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I am also noticing a lot of lag from the lockscreen....What was wrong with it from version 7 anyways? Seems it went from working to broke?

I also notice that the camera wont take macro shots. It focuses and then immediately goes out of focus. :(

Been using this rom for a day. Everything is stable and working (haven't tried the camera). Though it doesn't really seem any different than Alpah 7. Thanks for the update though, keep up the good work guys! :D

Plantronics Voyager Pro

Cant connect to phone, unpaired, and now it wont even pair. Worked great in 7.

edit: Reflashed to A7 and as soon as the phone was booted, the headset connected. now lets go back to 8 again to see what happens!

Ok it will not connect on A8... Back to 7 gotta have the headset in this state..

Anyone made theme for this?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Tons are out. Check cyanogenmod forums.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
No it isn't. If you upgrade your Cyanogenmod from a previous version without full wipe, the installer script will keep your gapps intact. If you full wipe first you still need gapps.

Battery drain

Anyone else experiencing massive battery drain on 8?

I did a full charge at night, went to bed with 92% battery. (wifi/3g/data/gps everything off) Wake up in the morning, only 19% left!

Now i'll try to do go through a few charge/discharge cycle. but the drain seems weird to me. any idea what could be causing this?

I hope I can post a stupid question here...

Wiping before the installing the alpha... does it mean "wipe data/factory reset" or "wipe cache partition" in recovery or both?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
both :)

[HTC Sensation] j_rahman07:
Still not getting any service after flashing any help is appreciated
[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
did u use titanium backup to restore apps / system data ?

if u did, try doing an only - apps restoration. avoid settings/data. see if it did any difference and report back :) that means u have to reflash. follow the procedure that was described both in the 1st post, and some posts ahead.

happened to me too, but after a reflash and a meticulous restoration with TB everything works like a charm now :D
[HTC Sensation] Kybic:
Dropped calls

Can anyone place and receive calls? Whenever I put the phone to my ear, some notification sound is played, call is dropped and network connection is lost. After second or two everything goes back to normal.

It like as if tripping proximity sensor disrupts the call.

I've followed the installation instructions by the letter. Before installing CM7 I had been rom hopping, from android revolution -> beastly -> senseless -> MIUI experimental on modaco.

The device is european unbranded and hasn't been tinkered with, except installing s-off, and recommended radio for android revolution.

Thank you

Edit: logs attached
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Which faux kernel version are you running?
[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
are you sure its the sensor and not a radio / ril compatibility issue kind of thing or a bad restoration of titanium ?

(i guess we should all avoid all restorations of settings with titanium btw.. most issues are caused by it :/)

so yeah, you might wanna check your radio / ril and a possible reflash without titanium restoring settings/system data.

i m no expert / dev, just a heavy end user, so these 're my 2 cents.

cheers brotha.

[HTC Sensation] inks:
Actually, no. "Data wipe / factory reset" will wipe /data and /cache (and app2sd partitioned sd cards). In the process of wiping /data, /data/dalvik-cache also gets wiped.

tl;dnr - Data wipe / factory reset" by itself is sufficient

Also having issues with dropped calls when putting next to my ear.

Did full wipe etc. etc. No restore.

Can any uk users NOT experiencing this issue tell me which baseband they are using? I am on 10.56.9035.00p_10.14.9035.01_M
[HTC Sensation] inks:
Go mount the partitions yourself in recovery and do a data wipe. look at the output and double check the partitions. you'll note that cache automatically gets wiped too. go investigate if you wish
[HTC Sensation] Kybic:
Installation is clean, so it has to be mismatch. I've never worked with rils so I assume that I should check whether my radio and ril forms a valid pair, referring to this list, yes?

I am using the same radio.

Edit:

Getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" returns:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ

getprop "ro.baseband" returns:

10.14.9035.01_M

Mismatch is confirmed.
[HTC Sensation] jacksparr0w:
Well I can tell you the RIL that was provided with CM7 is not the right match for the latest radio. I flashed the original radio ( 10.11.9007.15 ) so it would be match the RIL with cm7 and I did not notice and issues. Every thing is running smoothly. :)

Whats people saying about a new lockscreen ive nothing new than alpha 7
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
The new ring lockscreen introduced in Alpha7 has been enhanced (or ruined, depending on your point of view) in Alpha8 by featuring a slower unlock animation featuring a "zoom in" effect on the ring. Looks better, IMHO, but others are hating it.
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
Funny, i stopped recording at 1:30
[HTC Sensation] neo0815:
Hiho,

everything working great.but Bluetooth is still sucking my battery empty :-)
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:

[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Anyone having issues with recovery? Every time I tried to wipe cache or dalvik recovery would reboot itself. Freaked me out because of all the emmc failures over in the glacier forum.

I just reflashed with rom manager, we'll see what happens....

It rebooted itself once and now appears to work ok....
[HTC Sensation] aiinjylls:
Is it just me or is WiFi jacked in 8?
[HTC Sensation] PENKO956:
just you.

wifi works perfect!

do a full wipe if you still having issues.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
Quick summary of my experiences:

I did a full wipe at Alpha2, then have only wiped caches through 3-8.

Wifi - No issues.

Bluetooth - I don't use A2DP, but for voice calls with my Moto T325, it works great. First connection after Alpha8 install required me to turn BT off, then back on.

Camera - I recorded a 3:05 video on HD mode. Autofocus is only working with Touch to focus, and not at all in video mode.

Audio - The only audio glitch I still encounter happens when I am listening to audio on the headphones, and a phone call comes in... the audio pauses for the duration of the call, but when the call ends, the audio resumes playing in a garbled way. Pausing for 5 seconds, or pulling the headphones, or ended the app and restarting it all correct the problem.

Otherwise, things are great!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
After re-flashing v8, it looks like the camera IS focusing in MACRO mode when there is enough light to illuminate the subject. So thats good. Now I can stick with cm7 a little more. :cool:

Also, cm7 beats the pants off arhd in benchmarks for some reason, despite all that fancyness going on over there.

Now, if CM team can just fix my AC, then ill be happy as a clam!

[HTC Sensation] :
That's funny I'm using alpha 8 and It's been off charge since 7 this morning although I did quickly plug it in via usb to add some music earlier so the the time on standby is wrong should be around 8 and a half hours and I havent had GPS, mobile data or wifi on all day but did listen to some music for about an hour.
[HTC Sensation] saxmfone1:
Anyone still having A2DP problems?

This has been a problem for since Alpha 1, and it seems like it hasn't been touched.

When I pair my phone with my car's bluetooth and speaker system, I can listen to music from the Music app, and I can make calls.

However, I get no sound from any other app at all. It looks like it *thinks* its playing over bluetooth, but it is silent.

Also, if I play another app, say Amazon MP3, while the Music app is playing, Music will stop playing and I will hear about 3 seconds of the Amazon music and then it goes silent. It still is playing on the screen, but nothing out of the speakers.

I had CM on my Nexus One prior to this and never had the problem, and I don't have this problem with stock. I miss CM desperately and this is the only thing holding me back :(
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
I use PowerAmp and Rockplayer to play music and videos, and when connected to my car's speakers using bluetooth, all play fine. What car bluetooth system are you using? I'm using Nissan Connect. Call audio and bluetooth audio work fine, at least to the extent that I've used them.
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Well you should expect that much batter life when there's no data in use.
[HTC Sensation] :
Not quite, coming from previous phones the HTC Desire and SGS2 both lasted around a day and a half with data off maybe more depending on how many calls I received. This will last 3 days plus with no data in use...
[HTC Sensation] faeArai:
My phone is unplugged for about 8h and the battery indicator shows 94%. At that point my push notification is enabled and I'm permanently connected with Google Talk. So, no sir, I can not confirm any battery drain issues according to V8.

[HTC Sensation] anotherdroid:
do you have any rogue widgets/apps installed?
[HTC Sensation] DynamicRam:
for me i find the ring lockscreen to cause faster battery drain so i am back to the sliding tabs and all is good now
[HTC Sensation] malcontent510:
Do you have a hypothesis as to why the ring-style lock screen would cause faster battery usage versus the standard sliding tabs lock screen? It doesn't seem logical. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] DynamicRam:
usually my battery drains at a rate of 2% per hour , with the ring lockscreen it is just doubled (same usage , same brightness . . . .)
[HTC Sensation] malcontent510:
Weird. Based on your simple yet startling observation, you seem to have found an important issue. Let's hope someone in this thread can follow your trail of breadcrumbs to the genesis of this particular battery drain issue. Thanks.

Yup, massive drain. I've been unplugged 5 hours and am at 15% now. 1.5h of phone calls, 6 text messages sent.. nothing else. Been connected to WiFi with Bluetooth running (but disconnected).

In the attached screenshots, the massive dips are during phonecalls. I have full signal (4G) where I'm at, so no network switching or reconnections have occurred.

Been running Alpha-8 real hard for a little over 24hrs with no issues except for Video soft reboot and crazy static/feedback if im using a headset after i hang up a call.Battery still draining a little quick.Other than that everything is flawless,this build is def quicker.Havent done a full wipe since A-1, i just wipe cache/dalvik flash update.Strange how so many are having issues...

I then tried to grab an app off the market and had the exact same experiance, My fiancee's phone that was on alpha7 and updated through ROM manager also is working 100% fine.... Is there a fix for this or should I wipe and reload?

I have cleared the download manager app data also with no improvement.

So Ive had the paid version of ADW around in my apps for a long time. Decided to throw it over the version that came with CM7 only to find out its a lesser version? The version in CM7 bears a striking resemblance to VTL Launcher which I also have the paid version of because it makes ADW look like sh*t. So whats the deal with the ADW that comes with CM? Why is it so much like VTL when my ADW Ex still looks like sh*t?

And not to be mean, but if you guys like ADW enough to put it in CM, you should consider replacing it with VTL as it does everything ADW does and more. Everyone loves more options and VTL has them. Its also based on ADW source.

rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, reinstalled ROM from SD card (did not do factory reset just reinstalled ROM on top of alpha8), fixed perms rebooted..... went into Market, attempted to download an app and instantly recieved "The process Android.process.media has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again." so no love clearing caches and reloading....

unless someone has another suggestion I will blow away the phone tonight and start fresh and clean again.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Nothing is supposed to be changing. Its the same old CM7, just with a whole bunch of bugs fixed.

You can always go to settings -> about phone and see what version are you running.

But to answer your question - the one in the first post IS v8 :)
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Too many apps installed on the SD card causes freezes (as opposed to reboots like in v6 and v7). This is after ~300 apps.

Otherwise, perfect!

Ok, well im still showing 2.3.5... is that correct?
[HTC Sensation] hev88:

[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
With the Sensation being one of the higher end devices available why are we on alpha builds and a crap device like the xperia gets full releases?
[HTC Sensation] sinisin:
Because its taking time to build from scratch. As far as I understand this isnt a ported version from another device. Also the screen resolution and HD camera are still buggy. Cant call it a stable release with so many bugs.

Thats what Im getting at. We have a new high end device and are almost the last to get a stable full release.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Because Sony supports the CM7 project outright so it probably gets more attention.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/sony-ericsson-xperia-support

[HTC Sensation] vitusdoom:
for "your" topic which doesn't involve development of this rom, sensation is quite new, thats just the thing with development really, you just don't go and get a new device when you still have problems with other devices "or" maybe they just didn't get the sensation. just sit down and wait. I think there was a cm7 thread in general that you can ask all other people about all the other things connected to cm7. its ok to fight, we have our own beliefs but the thing is, this is not the place to fight. that would just result to a dev reading the crap and turning their heads and say "this is lame. no more sensation development".

lets all stay on focus and keep the other stuff away. by that i mean you can talk all you want on the general section please.

just chill down and "IF" really you can't wait, just grab another device so you won't have all that anger towards others. :)

OnTopic: I would disagree with the battery drainage(on my side anyway) I could say this one is better than the previous. my phone survives for a day and half now (not heavy usage) can the kernel be blamed on this one?
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Battery life does seem better to me too... but then again ive had fauxs kernels the majority of the time on the previous builds so that could be one reason for the improvement on my end at least.

I decided to stick with stock kernel to have the full CM 7.1 experience
[HTC Sensation] vitusdoom:
exactly. you guys should try different kernels aside from the stock and experiment from there. see what best you can use as it seems that all sensation seems to be different. @_@ (dont know why) but yeah, just give it a go and try to get the best from combination :)

So stock kernal works better for battery life cuz I was just thinking of flashing faux
