[HTC Sensation] montez.061-:
I think all this debate and back and forth is due to one thing.... The sensation is still a fairly new phone, yet it feels old when you check out the development of it. We just got our phones a couple of months ago.... And so many have come along since that seemed to have leap frogged us, Devs jumping ship, and we seem to be a side note on CM. It kind of feels like I just got here just in time to see the train pulling off. That's not a good feeling for me.... But that's the nature of the beast, and it is what it is. Hot today forgot tomorrow.... But what concerns me is that we have no idea why we aren't in the tree, what is it about this phone that makes it so sorry that inferior or equally specc'd phones are in but we're out??? I'm sure there is a great reason, but it only makes sense that people will wonder. I think all the complaining and questioning is really just people trying to figure out if we made a mistake in choosing this phone. But I feel both sides points as both are valid and I'm glad someone pointed out what a regular user can do to help because CM threads are rough, and alot of times I don't even want to ask anything just because of some of the attitudes in here. So if we not willing to help as users might as well move along.... And the Devs have to understand that there is a community concern as far as AOSP development on this phone. If nothing else, it could be the worse.... We could all be on sense ROMs. UGH
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Yeah but then again the Sensation has been out since May internationally and June here in the states. Plus i would guess it would be easier or faster to work on since there were both International and US Sensations out, but then again that's what can make it difficult because of different radios, network or just the bloatware and the different system settings between the two.

P.S. Just my thoughts people so im not ranting just stating my opinion even if im way off or not:D
[HTC Sensation] joe ferreira:
HC source has not been released

only the gpl and lgpl modules that we already had.

i.e. kernel source.

[HTC Sensation] ManCityFC:
Christ, all the bickering on here about the pace of development is bloody hilarious. All you ungrateful dicks that want a perfect ROM, just reflash your nandroid of your stock ROM and bugger-off - you impatient sods. As an Alpha this isn't that far away from the nightlies on my Nexus One. Yes, the camera is a bit ropey, but I use this as my daily driver and I'm a salesman. I spend hours on my phone and email and it is fine.

Chill out and enjoy it or flash one of the other more complete ROMs out there that flash a lot and eat a lot of battery. If the devs gave you a gold bar you would complain it was to heavy!
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
Love that quote :) Well put.
[HTC Sensation] djice000:
Can someone tell me where I can download the stock kernel?? Much appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] mytouch990:
Hopefully this is ok for me to ask. I just got
[HTC Sensation] mytouch990:
Sorry, I just got my sensation xl is this ROM will be work for my phone.
[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:
it should work..

you dont wanna take any chances tho so u shld back up your current ROM before installing it..
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
So I was able to play order and chaos with sense builds but can't with cm7 says my device isn't compatible after already downloaded
[HTC Sensation] mytouch990:
Thank slimldj
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The XE will work with this ROM, but the XL will not.
[HTC Sensation] djice000:
I'm using the sensation XE and I miss beats but I love cm7....any way to have both?? Lol
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
You can try to use the dsp manager and the eq to recreate the beats sound profile.

I am sure you can tweak the eq to please your ears.
[HTC Sensation] djice000:
So no way to have the official beats software then?? Lol

sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
No. It's apart of the Sense framework.
[HTC Sensation] djice000:
Ok guys, no worries :) thanks for the advice, appreciate it :)

sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] cargobr151:
If you have a Sensatin XE and using CM7, you have no Chance for BeatsAudio...:D

only a ROM with XE "support" will will 'satisfy' you...:cool:
[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:
battery while charging boils like boiling water tho.. whys this please?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
My battery was fully charged, I made a 6 minute phone call and then surfed the web for 20 mins and now my battery is at 14% this is bull

[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Did you try restarting?
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Now this is awesome:D Stay tuned folks hehe

Edit: This is just an AOSP/ICS rom being worked on. So NO its NOT stable or even a daily driver yet. At the moment it has lots of bugs and things not working so don't get to excited yet:(
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Whaaaaaaaat?

Wheres that??

[HTC Sensation] einmus:
How's that even possible. Sure, ICS source code is released. However, the kernel source code haven't been released. AFAIK, android 4.0 uses 3.0 kernel...

[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
On CM7alpha10, how does the Bricked kernel compare to the Faux123 0.2.3b9 one that I'm using. Just interested in unbiased feedback, the Faux123 one is working fine but I realise he's stopped developing kernels for the Sensation, which is a shame.

EDIT: I should have added that I'm UV and UC.
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
But there is only v1.4 in the OP.

I'm looking for 1.5 beta, who has been tested for the 3mA standby drain.

By the way: How to measure the drain best? Battery Monitoring Widget reads ~250 mA all the time even when screen is off, which is impossible because I get through the day with one charge.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Try further down in the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19406130&postcount=365

I'm using CurrentWidget and I needed to check the box that Forces logging in sleep mode. Is there a similar option in Battery Monitor ?

EDIT: I was going to add that these battery/current applications seem to show an approximate value. I know some time back that when I tried Battery monitor it has all sorts of "getting the right value" settings. I gave up and use a consistent app/settings and measure changes against all of: usage; expectations; and what the "tool" reports. FYI, on Current Widget, screen off with CM7/Faux123 0.2.3b9 I'm getting 25-40 mA drain.
[HTC Sensation] knuhkles:
Hey guys I got one bug I just found but only pertains to power amp 2.0 users. When listening to music when screen turns off it stops the music. I went to the forums and it stated it had to do with opengl and to contact Rom makers.. anyone else experiencing the same?

[HTC Sensation] SleemLDJ:
you should calibrate your battery first..

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Easiest method of battery calibration when you're intending on flashing a ROM:

Ensure battery is fully charged according to the OS. Switch phone off, unplug charger and plug back in. Once light is green, leave charging for another 30 minutes (light goes green at approx 95% charge).

Switch on, flash ROM. Allow first boot to complete.

Shut phone off. Disconnect charger. Remove battery. Replace battery. Place on charge, light green, leave charging another 30 minutes, yadda yadda. Switch phone on, boot immediately to recovery. Wipe battery stats.

Boot phone up. Now would be a good time to install JuicePlotter. Use as normal. Do not charge, let the battery run down completely. When the phone shuts itself off, power it back on. Repeat process until it won't switch on anymore.

Remove the battery. Put the battery back. Turn the phone on. Repeat until it won't turn on anymore.

Now charge the battery on the mains to 100% while the phone is off, keep charging for 30 minutes after light goes green. Power on. Voila, fully calibrated battery.

The last part, run until completely dead and charge only needs to be done once in a while (this is calibrating the battery innards, not the battery stats)
[HTC Sensation] telecon:
Why? All it does is mess with the EQ.
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
Just started using my sensation as a wifi adapter for my desktop that i dont want to buy a wireless card for or run a cable to..it seems like there is a problem while using the wired tether while the screen is off. When the screen is off the data speeds are considerably slower than while the screen is on. For now ive set the screen to stay on while charging so it works fine. using aplha 10 and faux v0.2.3r+ Also seems to do it with the stock kernel any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
do you have your CPU set to a lower speed when screen off? Try to remove the throttling.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
There is a setting that allows the wifi to sleep when the screen shuts off.

[HTC Sensation] dcrin3:
I got mine with bricked to achieve 2days 3hrs and 15% battery left.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
+1 I got three days without charge and still could have gone more but I put it on charge by mistake. I'm getting between 3-5mA on standby a lot...

[HTC Sensation] Fealakwen:
Hi, big problem with this ROM.

I just bought an SDXC 64 Gio. CM7 doesn't recognize it.

So, I turned back to my stock rom from HTC, with Sense. That rom recognizes perfectly the card.

Then, I made a back up to CM7, without putting out the card. And now, CM7 reads the card!

But each time I pull out the battery, the phone loses the card, and I have to:

-turn back to stock rom.

-recognize the card with that rom.

-put CM7 on again.

Any idea?
[HTC Sensation] ilbulgaro89:
with which settings in UV and OC?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I used 1.4 bricked, it was all good, battery and all, but wifi calling is unusable :-( you can tàlk fine when on speakerphone, vut if you put it on your ear and the screen turns off - you cant hear anything. It has something to do with either screen off or proximity sensor..

It worked fine for like 10 mins, and ever since that - it wont. Not even for a minute.

It does the same on miui + bricked1.4

So if you _NEED_ wifi calling - dont do bricked 1.4 and wait till this bug is fixed.
[HTC Sensation] the-Mike_D:
As Googa said, the reason it is slower is because when your screen is off your phone is sleeping. The cpu will slow down so that you'll actually have battery when you need to actually use your phone. You could change the way the kernel works to make it not throttle so much but then your battery life the rest of the time will suffer. The way you are doing it by just keeping it plugged in with the screen on (even perhaps lower screen brightness to charge faster) is actually the best solution.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
Using v1.5 beta with all default setting. SetCPU and System tuner is install but not using at the time. Just even now I turn the screen on and it is at 3mA.

\Regards,

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

I use bricked v1.5 beta and even with 1.4 I had no problem with wifi calling. I use wifi calling all the time as I live in the country and I get no service in my house.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Weird, it happens to me on both cm7 and miui.

Only 4eturning to stock kernel fixes my issues..

I was using FauxClock to uv and oc.. maybe thats where the problem was..
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
Also I notice if the wifi signal is little low like too far from the router the wifi calling will crash or FC. I have extra range extender router installed so I get good signal all throughout the house. I also have my wifi setting to never sleep. I'm using HyperSensation v0.8 base rom with bricked...

redeang i've not understand...sensation will be in cm tree for cm7.2?

Thanks xD
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
i do wonder what kmobs meant when he posted the following on Google+

Uh oh.

Install system fs image: out/target/product/pyramid/system.img

The optimist in me says it's ICS..

The realist in me says it's CM7.x...

Survey says?
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Don't set your hopes too high. ICS would be more than a month away before we see it merged in CM.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Realistically I believe it's 2 months away after looking on their twitter feed. 7.2 will drop before that. Mind you it didn't explicitly say Sensation/Pyramid, it was a more general comment.
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
I was asking for your opinion.. not for you to manage my expectations.

But thanks anyway.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Well, if past experience is anything to go by, it could possibly be ICS. In the past, CM team members have often done a quick unsupported port of the code before starting on turning it into CM...

Fingers crossed anyway :-D
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
I'm pretty sure we'll see nightly releases before then... :-)
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Can anyone test Wind-up Knight on there phone and tell me if it lags. I have tested it with faux and bricked kernel but they both lag.
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Its usually taken about two months for any major update to aosp for cm to merge and release nightlys
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
Why does everyone assume that what kmobs (or Koush for that matter on the NS) is doing has anything to do with CM?

I don't half wonder if there's not a little bit of a competition going on between them to release a working ICS ROM for their respective devices.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Guys, is it just me, or did the gmail client kinda mess up?

I cant send emails anymore, its just stuck on "sending..."

When i read a new email it shows it as read, but when i get to a pc - it still shows it as unread mail.. and after a while it shows me that i have new emails but it doesnt load them.. when I get to a pc I see that 8ts the emails that ive already read on myvsensation...it started happening right after they updated the look of the gmails site...
[HTC Sensation] techenthusiast:
Anyone having issues with playing videos, can only seem to get 15 mins before any video player crashes
[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
I had the same issue with gmail not syncing completely. Mine was after restoring a nandroid backup. Go into manage applications and clear the data from the gmail app. Once it resyncs it was back to working fully again.
[HTC Sensation] ManCityFC:
Mine does that every now and again. Go into applications and clear data in the gmail process. Usually corrects it for me. In fairness it used to do it on occasion when I flashed the CM7 nightlies on my N1.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Yep same problem here.

--------------------------------

Send via the XDA app
[HTC Sensation] MAMeingast:
Same here as well... Heavily seems to depend on the player used how soon it crashes... Some players don't play the video at all (only the audio) for many videos (Dice Player), others work fine most of the time and only crash after quite some time (MX Video Player). Extremely annoying! Also, this problem didn't exist on earlier versions of this ROM. Any ideas anyone?

Anyway, I want to thank the developers for providing us with this otherwise perfect and truly awesome ROM! :)
[HTC Sensation] telecon:
wipe gmail data in manage apps.
[HTC Sensation] Basil3:
That was a prob I reported aaaages ago with one of the earlier versions and it was the only reason I couldn't use this ROM as I was trying to marathon thru The Shield at the time

I highly doubt it because kmobs is at droidcon but he did say that it would be merged before 7.2 which should be soon. I just hope they release another alpha this week c:
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
Can someone help me on how to make the Android market recognize my device as a sensation 4g on T-Mobile please I would appreciate it!
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
It's rather take the source being merged
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
If you super cid then it's the reason for that. Just rest the cid to the Tmobile one and you should be good to go.

I forgot what the Tmobile cid is though
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Try to not and overclock the CPU and try to lower the voltages from system tuner. It should help. Also depending which CPU app your using. Set screen of to the lowest possible clock
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
If I'm not mistaken, this is it: T-MOB010

Yes that's it
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
Thanks! ! Just to make sure, I won't be able to flash other non T-Mobile Roms right?
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
I'm able to. I believe it's just stock roms that you won't be able to but I might be wrong
[HTC Sensation] bvr127:
Running recommended kernel. Any other sugestions as to which one is better?
[HTC Sensation] bvr127:
All settings are on a bone stock CM7. No changes have been done to any configs.
[HTC Sensation] bvr127:
Also don't have any CPU tuners installed. Wanted to feel it stock first the

N play around with the settings. But it gets damn hot
[HTC Sensation] Floris-k:
After some positive posts in this tread, I've installed the bricked V1.5 beta kernel. Didn't make any changes in the settings.

Result :

Losing 180 mA per 5 minutes with WiFi off and my mail isn't synchronizing.

Went from 100% to 81% in 8 hours of standby.

Surfing for 20 minutes now with Dolphin HD en its on 65% now. :(

With the latest faux and uc + uv I had -140 mA with WiFi turned on
[HTC Sensation] deadite66:
Now ICS source is out i guess that means CM7 for sensation will likely stay as unfinished.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
I don't mind as long as we get a working CM 9.
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
I set a pattern unlock on my phone, but the slider lock screen is still enabled. So now I have to slide the lock screen and the input my pattern, is there any way to disable the slider lock so I can just have the pattern?

Also, SetCPU is being granted access every minute. I've never had this happen to any of my phones using SetCPU before. Is there any way to fix that? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Sorry if these have been asked before ><
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Don't use setCPU. Use cm settings instead.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
So you dont have to use the slider, go to Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen > Unlock options and check the box for Skip on security.
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
But the CM settings don't have profiles though x.x

Usually I set it to the lowest speed setting when the screen is off to save battery.

Ah, thank you so much! I'm overlooking things too easily ><
[HTC Sensation] techenthusiast:
Mine is freezing cold all the time, running stock kernel and no overclocking
[HTC Sensation] Brajin:
I still expect to see cm7 development. ICS source will def take some time to develop.
[HTC Sensation] nonmindo:
nope Cyanogen stated in a tweet that while they are hard at work on ICS they still plan on working on the 7.1 releases, I know this isn't an official build here, but I'm sure dev will continue
[HTC Sensation] SyLvEsTeR20007:
ICS on Sensation

I dont know if anyone noticed this but... Keyan Posted on Google+ "ICS Booting on Sensation. No Graphics yet though."

Its a promissing post too see.

Feeling the Sensation Love.. :D
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
YESSSSSS :D

That is so good to hear!

I think ICS will beat the cr** out of Sense overall...
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
You really think so? *rolling eyes*
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
I am just being enthusiastic... :D

CM and Sense will always have its strengths and weaknesses
[HTC Sensation] SyLvEsTeR20007:
Guys, While I do love some good old banter, I am at work today and board off my rocker waiting for Dell to ship me pair of switches..... not that thats of any interest to anyone here... but I was reading about some good benchmark done with ICS Galaxy Nexus vs Other phones and along story short, phones that have almost identical hardware (CPU GPU ect) 2.3.x vs ICS, ICS whips the back side of Ginerbread devices, It would seem that Kristopetho's comment is somewhat justified, which is good to know. I love speed and if ICS has had some good work put in to recode it and strip it back from some of the old legacy code from 1.6, I think it will be a great addition.

However, what I was happy to hear was that KMobs is still doing some work on the sensation thus the development is there all be it in a different direction. I personally dont mind chilling with release 10 if it means we get CM9 sooner. I know that sooner is a relative term as if were realistic, were not seeing any CM9 until 2012.

But you never know, a little new years gift (on the first of Jan) like us old HD2 owner woke up too with MagLDR.

Guys, chill, enjoy and look after your Sensation so its ready to look good when its rocking ICS. Its going to come, its just a matter of time and patience.

I mean, I just got my Sensation back from O2 today after I sent it back for issues with Dust under the screen.

I have also bought some black silicon to seal the edges around the screen as I dont want to send it off again. (some good videos on youtube of the process)

[HTC Sensation] Renarudo:
I've learned my lesson - despite the awesome hardware on the Sensation, the device took a while for the community to be able to wrap hooks around it. Furthermore, there has been lackluster support from HTC.

Also, these devs have lives and prior obligations, so we can't sit around acting like they owe us anything. It sucks, but that's the way life goes. Especially when only a handful of people who have things like studying to get into medical school still try to give back to the community.

So the conclusion from having an awesome phone bloated with Sense and left in a daily, but occasionally buggy state is this:

Nexus phones, regardless of the hardware specs, are the best way to go for a user like me.

I don't care if there are quad-core phones coming as soon as February.. I'm not going to buy a phone with the excitement of rooting/modding/theming, only to be stuck with Sensational-bloat for 6 weeks.

Then again, I got spoiled on the MT4G with nightlies, lol..
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
Just my thoughts! But I'm still going to consider keeping my Sensation... it just bugs me that we cannot follow how the developement of CM is progressing for our phone. Guess I'm also a bit spoiled by the great community communication by mad-murdock & Kali- on DHD and codeworkx & atinm on GS2. It just makes very difficult to forecast level of developement on Sensation because there is no place to follow the things are being done and problems that are to be solved.

I don't even know who actually has Sensation anymore of the people participating in current developement. All I know is that one person of the four was commented away on CM Sensation Wiki page some time ago.

Anyway I'm still excited and extremely thankful for all the developement already accomplished.
[HTC Sensation] player4lifeov:
Galaxy Nexus does not destroy the competition as far as benchmarks go. Galaxy S II owns that crown, even with Gingerbread.
