I know one of the rule's is not to ask for an ETA, but I'm wondering are they not going to work on the rom for the sensation until ICS comes out? I'm just wondering what's going to happen to the development and if they're ever going to make it official and not Alpha anymore.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Well, since ics source won't even be out until at the very least November, and on cyanogenmod forums, the sensation is making it's way into being a nightly, they will still be working on this device with CM7 code for a bit.

Has anyone else tried alpha8 with the latest Tiamat kernel; I'm getting insane data signal drops. It tries to use 4g but then drops down to 3g, stutters for a second, then tries to use 4g again.
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
What it is I have the XE and I'm struggling getting the battery usage down I was, my battery is 1730mA and the stock is 1530 just wondered if the kernal would need a tweak so my phone knows the size of the battery, my phone discharges from 100% to 91% in 5 mins and whilst switched on won't charge past 91% i've calibrated a few times to no avail

Hmm, it shouldn't be doing that. I know the sensation has quirky battery stats but.

How many times have you just let it charge, and discharge fully through normal usage ? Also what's the Voltage at full charge, should be 4.2V or close to it. Mine is 4.191 :-( If not switch the phone off and charge fully, e.g. overnight, then boot into CWM and wipe battery stats. Then just use the phone normally for a few cycles.

No, he's right. Running alpha 8 here with no issues aside from 1080p recording and HDMI out. Never had any problems with CM7 here. Since the first alpha I've just wiped cache and dalvik cache before each flash (full wipe is a complete waste of time) and everything has always worked perfectly. People experiencing problems are definitely doing something wrong. Sorry.

The phone still (since around alpha 6) acts like power_down was pressed when releasing the power button. So every time I press the power button the phone turns off the screen (like it should) and then turns the screen back on. This happens in Recovery too, though. x.x Is it a hardware defect? On MIUI, others are reporting the same problem.

Afterthoughts

Coming from the Stock/Leedroid/Revolution to Cyanogenmod.

Stock was just bloated beyond belief and therefore slow and battery hungry.

Rooted/S-Offed and what not...:p

Then I checked a lot of threads and decided it's time for a 'slimmer' Sense ROM because Cyanogen ist not yet officially supported and has some minor/major bugs (depends on what you thing of a non-working HD cam).

Leedroid was OK for some days, but it's just overengineered (Leedroid everywhere - even on the lock ring). Othwise it did quite well.

Then I tried Android Revolution HD and it was incredible, sorry: sensational:) (even out of the box). Battery life was fantastic. I had 24h with the stock battery and low/medium usage (some SMS/Calls, accidential browsing, taking some pics and checking mails).

But still, it's Sense. The calendar just sucks :mad: and the eye candy is just boring after a few days. I wanted back my BLACK and MINIMALISTIC cyanogenmod - which I had on my Desire (before I got the sensation).

Tried it and it's not bad - but not good either. The HD cam reboots the phone (WTF), the front facing cam (which is most useful in portrait mode) inverses the picture (WTF again). And battery life just SUCKS balls! The rest is FANTASTIC - i had no FC's or Browser/Market problems at all and boot time is - compared to a sense rom - UNBELIEVABLE :D!

So - what should I do? Wait for the bugs to be fixed or back to sense again? It's a hard decision.

What is your opinion?

Is another kernel for cyanogenmod battery life better (faux/bricked?)

Are other CM-Mods better (I would not dare to say so, but what do you mean?)
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
hihi,

I have the Bricked-kernel and that is great.

[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
audio quality is greatly improved... I no longer need the EQ or the DSP enhancements.

i can even play fruit ninja and listen to my own music while sound effects play properly... without a hitch.

still a few hitches on game play but nothing awful... game colours screen white sometimes at the end of zen mode... before ads are shown... i suppose its my network speed...

still sucks about the default fm radio tho... major bummer...

browser still fc'ing for some reason

re-flashed to make sure it wasn't the phone.... yep the browser... something isn't quite right... but each persons kilometers will vary.

battery still sucks compared to ARHD 3.6.2 with faux kernel.

Will try with a faux CM7 kernel later.

I also feel that having ICS (or a variant) on our Sensation will bring it up to the Prime. The Prime is just a small upgrade to the Sensation, so I doubt there will be much difference.

Seriously people...Its not a quad core...It isnt HD 3D...Its just a bit larger screen. It will still scratch and still smudge too. It seriously looks like the GS2 with a bit better styling. Ill bet it does a bit better on the benchmarks. :rolleyes:

CM7 - Alpha9. Faux kernel 0.2.0. Clocked to 1.5ghz max.

I'm running out of bugs to complain about... Battery life is good for me. Audio is now working 100%. Performance is awesome. FM Radio works great, although it is REALLY loud even at min volume.

Issues:

- Camera works, but isn't great. Long discussed so I'll leave it at that.

- Bluetooth audio dropout. My T325 speakphone pairs, connects, etc without issues. However, while using it after 10 minutes or so, the BT audio will drop out and revert to external speaker/headphone. On the phone's call screen, unclicking/reclicking the BT icon fixes it. I've used 3 kernels (including the stock one) and seen this issue with all of them.

As always, if a dev needs a log or other info, just let me know.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:

[HTC Sensation] doalittledanse:
I'm still having bluetooth pairing issues. It doesn't automatically pair since alpha 7. I have to manually do it from settings every time I get in the car. This wouldn't be a huge issue but for some reason the track controls only work when it's paired automatically.

As soon as I reflash 7 its fine.

Maybe i need to try a different kernel for more than a day.

This Rom i feel i'm always on the charger no matter what build I use. I came from MTouch4g getting a day & a half to two days on one charge with cm7.

I fully charger my phone last night, woke up at 4am and took it off the charger, turned it off and back on to make sure the reading was correct. 100%, woke up 4 hours later at 8:15am and it was at 25% WTF!?!?! I drained 75% in 4 hours on standby?

WOW.

I really hope they get the battery drain ironed out, because I otherwise LOVE CM7

Thanks for the update
[HTC Sensation] _zygo_:
I am not sure how you can say that. I am getting excellent battery life with stock kernel. In fact, it's twice that of ARHD (both versions.)

I think CM has addressed previous, and I believe obvious, battery drain issues. So now, battery performance is subjective and is largely dependent on personal apps and use.

It's one thing to note a specific defect, such as if the device crashes every time you open contacts. It's quite another to say battery life sucks in general. I've had great battery life through 7, 8, and 9.

If you are going to report horrible battery life, qualify it and quantify it. My phone would be dead in four hours if I played fruit ninja or had a bunch of dumb widgets constantly syncing and running background processes. If you are tethering, using Gchat video, sending a thousand texts a day, your battery life is going to be considerably different from mine.

So, to counter your post, battery life is awesome (in my all-business, no jacking around, use.)
[HTC Sensation] btbuck1:
I set up and configured my sensation with cm7 EXACTLY how i did on the MyTouch4G. Same widgets, same everything... I lost 75% battery life in 4 hours on standyby. Not playing games, not doing nothing... I was asleep, and I woke up and was at 25% down from 100%. I used to get 1.5-2 days on my MT4G with cm7 with moderate use, if I left it on standby it'd probably drain 3-4% overnight 8-9 hrs. Not 75%. Again, same apps, same widgets, same settings. This rom or kernel, whatever at this time...has SERIOUS drain issues. Not ready for prime time IMHO. I'm getting inifinitely better better battery life on the stock rom with faux123 kernal 2.1 (undervolt and zram patches)
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:

[HTC Sensation] _zygo_:
One of us is doing something wrong if I only lose less than 10% battery in six hours with moderate, non-jacking around use, and you are losing 75% in the same period in standby.

I am going with the problem being on your end, with your configuration and use, not mine. I see no battery drain whatsoever.

Perhaps you broke something. Haha
[HTC Sensation] tsch:
Battery life with alpha 9 seems much better now. Steep ramps on heavy use, but otherwise just great.

So far very smooth, for the little I have used it so far today.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
To those seeing poor battery life:

You need to go through some real charge/discharge cycles before things will calm down. This means starting with your battery charged to 4.2v (or dang close to it) and then letting the phone nearly die. Charge it back to 4.2v and repeat. Each time you do this, you will notice the battery lasting longer.

Also, from my experience, DONT restart the phone while doing this.

This is a GREAT time to go to town with benchmarks! Drain that battery like its your job!

I just had a 4 hour battery life after flashing. I am on my second charge cycle and now am seeing 9hours. Soon I will be on my 3rd and plan for it to be settling much better.

This seems to be random. Some versions of CM7 cause poor life to start, while others dont. Charge/recharge cycles fixes it (for me).

Remember, charged means the VOLTAGE is 4.2v (not 100% or 1580mA).
