Nope, not just you. Please remember that cm7 is still beta that is why i am not complaining. So far the main things i wanted in it. BT and A2DP works so i am happy but the battery life and Wifi signal really sucks and yes i am NOT complaining. I have being waiting patiently and this morning i see they released v7.1 and our beloved Sensation is NOT even on the list. Well i will just wait and see what comes of it this week and next.

No, just cleaned application list in SU itself. No did as you said, fixed the permissions again and.. VOILA ! It worked !

Thanx for your help !

Here's an explanation from Google on the meaning of the green/grey bars:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/some-cool-android-tips-and-tricks.html

Basically, it's green if you have a full, uninhibited connection to Google. Grey is usually a sign of trouble (or you're not signed in to an account).

I'd check your data connection/router before reflashing.

is there any mod that allows the camera to record in 1080p?

Haaaaahahahaaa!!!

Seriously though, cm7 alpha 7 is nearly perfect. I am waiting for the camera to get a SERIOUS overhall before I come back. I am rocking ARHD 3.6.2 since I like the camera so much more...Other than that, I miss CM7!

I love cymod, but i switched back to a sense build because of battery life. I literally get 50 faster drain on cymod. Ive got weeks of testing and switching back to prove it. Does anyone have a theory as to whay is causing it? Im thinking of turning off all mods and slowly adding back to see if one is causing this, like quiet hours, notification tweaks etc. Anybody find the leak?

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
No...

You guys remind me of the Ten Commandments! Moses goes off for a little while (to get the Ten Commandments from God) and then everyone goes ape **** crazy...Even making their own idol!

You guys need to remember what Moses did in the movie when he got back. ;-)

(They got poop in their breakfast)

Matt
[HTC Sensation] aiinjylls:
Yeah, I don't mean the actual cam, but the features - like panoramic, burst, etc.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
What esincho meant-- and I think may have been covered elsewhere in this thread-- is that all Sense-based camera apps require a bunch of proprietary bits from other places in Sense besides just HtcCamera.apk.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the basic AOSP camera, too. But if a port of any Sense camera were realistically feasible, it would have happened long before now :(
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It's for the HTC Wildfire.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
yeah find me a camera that doesn't suck with panorama for cymod and I'll eat my own hat.

[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
They were lockscreen improvements, not a new lockscreen. They fixed some behavior and a bug in the way the ring lockscreen was working.

These are some of the biggest commits to fix the ring lockscreen issues:

There was also one more commit to enlarge the app icons when they are hovered over, but I couldn't find it in 15 seconds so I gave up. ;)

Can't view contact descriptions or add new contacts without a force close. I'm sad. Went back to writing chicks numbers on napkins.

I realize 1080P recording causes a soft reboot, but how the heck do you set the video camera to 720P, and why every time I playback a video (at any setting) it looks all distorted and weird???? I thought 720P works perfectly? Can anyone assist? I really want to go back to this ROM ASAP. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
Not happening to me. Therefore a full wipe shall fix
[HTC Sensation] rugburner:
I agree wholeheartedly. ARHD 4.1.2 Is great and the camera app is amaze-ing!
[HTC Sensation] pablo1215:
Happened to me too but I did not do a full wipe so for now until I back up some apps I'm just using go contacts and its working just fine.

euro sensation, can't pick up mobile signal. repeating FCs (com.android.phone) each time it registers on mobile network. full wipe and all that. will flash again.
[HTC Sensation] player4lifeov:
The rom is really smooth but the camera and web browsing performance is sub-par.In other words the Camera in Sense 3.5(HTC Amaze Software) and browsing performance in any of the sense roms are way ahead of CM7. I wish they did a major overhaul (camera) as mentioned above. I love CM7 but baadnewz and Mike1986 have done a tremendous job with their versions of sense!
[HTC Sensation] xstormli:
will wait for a stable version.

all i've ever tried are sense based roms,

looking forward to experience more in the android world.

great work bro.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Thanks for the laughs buddy.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, camera is still pretty bad at focusing in. I'm even having problems with touch to focus now.
[HTC Sensation] killerloop04:
Settings are ok. It seems was a bad flash... After full wipe, it works:)
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
Mine works, switched to WiFi and back and it doesn't work and lost connection, I had to switch off mobile internet and back on again to work. Reception is bad. Only single bar while other roms gave me full bar and this is while I'm out in the open.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Hey, all y'all complaining about the camera. Did you forget that in the third sentence of the first post it said that CM7 will never be like Sense? Remember CM7 is AOSP, and their objective is to be lean as possible. I'd love to be wrong, hopefully the people working on the Camera MODs in the other thread will be able to port it over.

No need to fully wipe. Just wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, then flash over the top.

I haven't wiped since Alpha1, and I've not had any of the problems being mentioned at all (except the 1080p issue, obviously).

Many thanks to those involved for all the effort being put into this ROM! :)

[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
This sadly is a known bug in all CM builds, not just for the Sensation...

Increasing sd read ahead cache helps a bit. You can do it via system tuner or there is an init script around somewhere. Try googling it. Can't be bothered finding the link myself right now because I'm in my phone.

I've a write speed of about 11,5 MB/s without any tuning (class 4 or class 6 microsd.. I don't exactly remember).

Try it again when used as a USB Mass Storage... That's when you have extremely slow write speeds...

But that is how I tested the write-speed: by coping a large file (ubuntu iso) on my microsd using my phone's usb mass storage functionality :)

Wifi calling question

Ok, Im ot sure if this problem I just had was because of the Ver 8 or if my wireless router is messing up. I just got ver 8 all done and everything loaded back on like i like it and tryed to make a call and it rang, she answered and said hello, I started talking and she hung up. called back and she answered again and said hello again with a noticeable growing annoyance. after yelling hello three time she hung up.

The other day on xboarders cm rom I tried to call my work and when I got to the automated spot to type in a extension it waited like i never punched in any numbers. after trying that a few times and rebooing my phone I thought that maybe my wifi calling couldbe the reason this was not working. after all I call extensions all the time on my sensation for work and never a problem.

So, has anyone else ever had any problems making calls on wifi calling in ver 7 or 8 or do you think its my dying wireless router??

any help would be lovely. thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
Go into application settings and clear data from the settings app and contacts app. See if that helps.

Still a no go..getting "the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again". Guess I'm going to have to play with it a little more.

not quite true. i'm going to wipe and try again for a third time to see if i can fix my inability to register on my provider's network. i really didn't want to flash a different radio and i'm not sure it will fix the problem.

can any other euro Sensation owner confirm they are having zero issues with A8? any fellow Thailanders, by chance?

Facebook Contact Photos

Is anyone else having problems syncing facebook contact photos? It seems like only some of them sync. It was working fine on alpha 7

This is coming from a fresh install of CM7.1a8. I've uninstalled facebook and re-installed it but still no dice. Any ideas?:confused:

[SOLVED] Uninstalled facebook with Titanium Backup, rebooted, Re-installed facebook from market and signed in, Fixed Permissions, Reboot. All is right in the world
[HTC Sensation] qip:
im euro user, no problems at all with alpha 8
[HTC Sensation] anotherdroid:
here is something interesting... i'm the dumbass. i didn't realize it but, i was running TitaniumBackup to restore contacts and SMS junk. didn't realize i was erasing the APN settings.

what i previously thought was connecting to WiFi killed the mobile signal, it was actually TB that was restoring my WiFi connection, but also deleting my APN settings at the same time. so, once TB was complete, i would grab my WiFi signal and dump the mobile signal.

so... my bad. APN settings were being deleted.

I went ahead and downloaded go contacts ex. its working with that anyway. It's a quick fix for now until I find out what the #$^& is wrong.

I flashed Alpha 8 and my car bluetooth disappeared from my BT device list so it won't pair and the phone can't find it to repair. I haven't had any bluetooth issues at all with the previous alphas. Anyone else having *new* bluetooth issues with it?
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
No problems here. Alpha 8 is very smooth. I haven't done a full wipe since Alpha 1, and I've been on every release. The problems people are having are isolated and/or affect some phones randomly.

Have to remember, as with all forums, most posts will be from people seeking help with issues or venting frustrations (this goes for anything: cars, phones, housing, reviews, etc.). When things are fine, people are less likely to post their experience. This is why I don't let a few posts about bugs scare me away and try it myself. There's always nandroid backups.
[HTC Sensation] Griff 2112:
is anyone else having an issue with data with alpha 8?

i can receive texts and make calls, but my data is dead.

i just did a speed test (which connected me to the "closest server" in west virginia, when i'm in Texas?") and i'm getting 2022 kbps, when it found a server one lucky time.

after trying to find a server again, my phone won't even find one.

i've done a full wipe. twice. i've flashed the rom multiple times. still getting the same data errors.

lol, and now i'm getting 2.27 mbps download, and .11mbps upload. i'm beginning to think it may just be my local tmobile tower? is that possible?

i'm running the recommended radio.

Question/confirmation:

Just to confirm, which version of GAPPS should be installed? I have gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip but noticed when i installed it is says "For Android 2.3.5".

Thanks for the guidance.

ok, everything seems to be running quite well. *except*... LauncherPro. it FCs my .acore. not sure what that's all about. was running fine and then after adding some LP widgets, i get FCs and have to wrestle my way into TB in order to freeze it.

tried both a new version from the market and a version from TB restore. both cause nothing but havoc.

Is anyone else experiencing poor call quality? I've made 3 calls since flashing this. Reception is fine but there us some added distortion or static I would say. I wiped cache/dalvik before flashing & fixed permissions. And it only seems to be on my end, not the person I'm talking to.

Also having issues with bluetooth. Struggles to keep connected to the headset, and when connected, audio doesn't come through the headset. Haven't tested to see if mic is working. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic.
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
Getting Bluetooth issues too... Can't even connect to any of my a2dp headphones anymore.. They were working perfectly on alpha 7... I tried unpairing and repairing but once paired it just plain won't connect.. Keeps saying it is a pairing request and asks for the pin and once entered still won't connect. This is even though it is already paired.. Is it an issue with permissions not allowing it to save pairings properly?

Worked for me. I just did a 30sec HD recording and it worked. Last week this did not work for me at all and in fact it rebooted like you experienced.

I think for all these ppl having issues. Please do a CLEAN wipe and try again. DO not restore any system apps.

on a side note: i am no longer going to use Launcher Pro. I get some weird FC every now and then and none so far on ADW.

ok, heres my report.

on alpha 8, updated from alpha 7, no wipe just cleared cache and dalvik.

also running faux kernel 0.2.0, and sony sketch font.

no force closes or anything so far
