Also having audio cut-out that requires reboot

I've also had a long-standing audio issue that might be related to the string of reports preceding this post.

In summary: After I use the Spirit FM radio app, all audio playback is disabled and I can only get it back by rebooting.

In detail: Booting up Spirit FM to start playback works normally, until I turn off the screen by locking my device. Playback will return if I turn on the screen (not necessarily unlocking the device-- just turning the screen back on). In order to have playback continue while the screen is off, I need to return to Spirit FM, then pause and restart the audiostream from within the app.

Once I do the pause/restart within the app, radio playback continues whether the screen is on or off. However, once I perform this "fix", I can no longer play any sort of audio on my phone whatsoever. Even if I power off Spirit FM normally or forcibly kill the app, no other sound playback works on my phone. That includes media, ringtones, system notifications, etc.

The symptoms sound a lot like what others are reporting (somewhere along the line, an audio stream is passed between system/apps, and then fails to be restored to its normal working state?), but the presumed source of the issue seems pretty different in my case. Hopefully my issue report is related and useful, though!

Well I am thinking it is phone, sim, or acct related.... I just restored me orignal backup, unfroze all frozen bloatware, cleared any VMs that were waiting, and left myself a test message..... still no VM notification. OK off to the T-mo store after work to see if they can do anything.

Does anyone else have an issue when using the camera app, taking pictures force closes, but video will record?

I've had this issue since Alpha 3 or so.

Different camera apps will take allow for picture taking.

Try to:

- swith to front camera

- immediately switch again to main camera

- shoot

it works for me, even if it's non s final solution.

I have a similar issue. Going to rollback my radio in a minute when I switch to Alpha7. I'll let you know.

Oh, sometimes it'll lock, but most of the time it won't.

Is your battery low? I found that under 20%, the flash will not come on no matter what.
[HTC Sensation] colemanimal:
thanks, il give this a try after work.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Just tried taken photo, no problem.
[HTC Sensation] Straightflush:
I know people ask this question too often, but have you been doing straight upgrades or have you wiped? It may be an issue with alpha 3 which is carrying over. If anything wipe twice before flashing. Good luck
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
Can't remember it happening like this when I first rooted and flashed ARHD. Even on stock roms before revolutionary the battery was iffy, though.

I do think I figured out why it jumps in certain situations. Last weekend I was away from home and even with some use I still had over 40% left after around 1d15h. When back home I used the phone heavily (remote desktop over wifi) and dropped the battery to 27% in half an hour or so. I then rebooted the phone and expected it to have almost no battery left like I usually see when I reboot, but this time it actually showed 36% after the reboot.

It all comes down to the voltage that is measured. When charging the voltage is slightly higher and thus it shows a higher %. So when you reboot while charging, it shows 100% way too early. If you unplug and reboot again, it'll drop quite a bit and after a few minutes it will stabilize. Conversely, when you stress the phone the voltage drops a bit (bit like Vdrop observed for Vcore on overclocked CPUs, it seems). This is all pretty easy to see when using something like Battery Monitor Widget with history turned on. I suppose the % shown is directly derived from the voltage of battery, so it's a bit inaccurate.

I'm about to flash kang 7 (the above was on 5) so I'm not sure how relevant this still is on 7, but in general I advise anyone to not reboot while charging (either on AC or USB).
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
I've just been updating, wiping the caches only. I haven't done a factory reset since I started with cm7
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I havent wiped since alpha1 and everything is working just fine..

but a good way to track a bug, if you have one, and specially if you are the only person that has that issue, is to wipe everything and do a fresh install.. That usually takes care of the bugs :D
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
I haven't done a data wipe either. However, a cache/dalvik wipe when flashing a new build I believe is a must. Never had a problem :)
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Some may never have a problem without wiping data, but it can help alleviate issues.

I had the issue where bluetooth would not connect automatically when wifi was on, and I ended up doing a data wipe for an unrelated reason, and it fixed the issue completely, as well as a couple of other issues that I was having.

I'd say try a wipe every 3 to 4 builds, especially if you're having issues that nobody else has reported yet.

But if you don't have any issues that bother you, count yourself as lucky, and don't bother wiping. :)
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Well yeah, you have to wipe them 2 always..
[HTC Sensation] dobah:
Has anyone used Bluetooth a2dp? With my Motorola Bluetooth headset the audio works for about a min then gets choppy. Also when I use Bluetooth my battery seems to drop pretty fast. It went from 99% down to 77% in an hour. Playing music through wired headphones is consistent and my battery life is around 75% in about 45 min.

Ran a second test at night for 2 hours and my battery dropped from fully charged to about 88%.

Ok, So I'm upgrading from alpha 6 to 7. I did a full wipe and when it came up I went to log in to my network but it already knew my credentials! This is creepy so I did another full wipe AND did the ARHD Super Wipe. And the same thing happened. I selected my network and it immediately logged in without prompting for credentials.

Any idea what's going on with my Sensation knowing what my network credentials are?

After running getprop in the terminal I noticed we have this RIL 2.2.0159HMQ but I have the latest radio 10.56.9035.000_10.14.9035.0. This RIL and radio don't match. So I decided to flash the proper RIL 2.2.0169HMQ that will match with my radio and when I booted I had no service... so I went back to flashing the original RIL to get my service back. Is it ok if the radio and RIL do not match or will I experience unusual problems later?

Edit: any help would be appreciated, thank-you.
[HTC Sensation] inks:
thanks kmobs.

modelid_cfg.sh is great too, saves us from having to manually remove kineto / wifi calling.

I noted two minor things in build.prop though

modelid_cfg.sh doesn't remove gannet0 from mobiledata.interfaces=gannet0,rmnet0,rmnet1,rmnet2

ro.sf.lcd_density is defined twice

for the rest...

You can delete MS-HTCDP-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk (wifi calling) manually if you're not on T-Mo [it was supposed to have been deleted automatically for you]. The libs and build.prop entries are already automatically removed so you can safely do this.

If you grey-imported a different Sensation model onto your T-Mo network you will probably have to manually install wifi-calling.

wifi working for me (WPA/WPA2 AES + SSID broadcast)

market working for me

no FCs (data wipe + clean install)

A data wipe prior to installing the update-CM7 zip should be considered mandatory if you are moving from sense framework roms (including sense-stripped roms like senseless, superlite, etc.) to prevent FCs. If you ignore this, then you should at least wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions immediately after installation.
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
Nope, it's enabled.

Just triple checked, the WEP Key is correct. :( My issues so far:

WiFi not working

Bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager) will pair but no audio on calls (though the other person could HEAR me.. odd).

CALLS are silent if I've tried to use my Bluetooth... no audio no nothing until I reboot.

I'm super psyched that CM is on the move for the Sensation and appreciate the team's work, but I may end up restoring till some more kinks are worked out. This so far is unfortunately not daily driver material for me. :(

CM7 alpha7 working fine for me. No probs with camera, GPS, market, net, phone, audio. Smooth as butter, looks great and feels great. However, all CM7 versions so far have much worse battery life than Sensation stock or other alt sense ROMs like InsertCoin. Barely gets me through a day (12hrs=20% left). Tried faux123 kernel hoping UV would help but it doesn't much if any. Will see if battery life improves after a few more cycles.

That's about what I get with my use. I think cm7 gives about the same battery life or better. Funny thing is that I have the anker battery and have to charge after 12hrs. A lot of it has to do with how you use your phone. Going to flash alpha 7 and see how it goes tonight.

Download the radio from there, put it on the root of your SDCARD, and then reboot to bootloader, press the volume up when it scans and finds the file, then wait for it finish updating and it'll say press power to reboot, then press power and it'll reboot.

Now if you get stuck on the HTC screen, remove SDCARD, then boot up to recovery again and wipe cache/dalvik, or you can use adb to reboot to recovery to wipe those and you'll be back in the rom.

You should look at your battery usage on spare parts. I found that there was an application actually killing my battery life, which didn't show up under the battery usage on settings. I uninstalled the app and that fixed the problem.

Oddly enough, I've had this issue with a version of the MIUI Camera that I've installed on every CM7 Alpha.

In my case, opening up the settings menu, then going back to the camera interface fixes the blacked-out portion. I've never used Vignette before though, so I don't know if that is a relevant workaround for you.

Is this something caused by the Alpha? Or since it's for third-party cameras, are we out of luck like I had assumed?
