not sure what you are after mate? dialer options?

I personally hate the sense dialer. I use Dialer one or go dialer/contacts. same T9 options but a lot more...

top 3 in the following search are all good options:

So went back to CM7 using Faux's kernel. Used Master CPU to set it back to 1.2Ghz.

I'm still getting only 8-9hrs of battery life :(

Also just reading RSS feeds using Feedr, in about 20 minutes, my battery went from 80% to 66%!

I really don't know what's going on. I don't have anything running in the background, my Google account sync is on, other apps like Twitter and Facebook sync are turned off, weather updates, news updates, etc.

Also my battery temp right now is 41°C!

Again, no issues when im on Stock Sense.

I've got the latest radio, 10.15.

Any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation] chchang1:
As said before, Faux's kernel and cm7 aren't a good pair, they kill the battery together.....
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
Heh, and several days ago, everyone here told me they get best battery life with Faux and CM7.

Anyways still getting 8-9hrs on faux with cm7 and stock cm7. So something is wrong with mine since I get 10-16 stock sense.

Sigh.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Don't know if you did, but i just learned something new on XDA and other forum. Wiping battery stats every times you flash a rom KILL the batterie so much (not killing the battery itself, but the battery life)
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
I've only done it twice.

Also few days ago, when I went back to my Nandroid of stock Sense, my battery was great, lasted long.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I was always wiping battstat but know i don't. So after like 4-5 days that i've not changed the ROM and no wipe, battery is REALLY good.

Btw, i don't tell this about my Powerskin, battery without the powerskin is good too ;)
[HTC Sensation] R-Rizzo:
So....

GPS was working, then I flashed Faux 0.1.4 in an attempt to get Bluetooth to work. Now GPS IS broken. Is the original kernel floating around somewhere? Or what would be the easiest way to get back to it?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
I get awesome speed and good battery life considering i wiped battery stats like day 1 so had a few days of adjustment by now
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
To those who want WiFi Calling back (TMOUS users)...​

Xboarder56's latest WiFi Calling Patch (1.0.5 as of this post) fixes it! It pushes the latest APK and other files from TMO into your Sensation.

One reason for the battery draining quickly is because for those of us who leave WiFi on, our 3G/4G radio also stays on. What you want (TMOUS users) is to use WiFi Calling when on WiFi so that you don't have both radios sucking up battery life.

EDIT:

Note that flashing Xboarder56's patches (depending which) might change your build.prop. If that happens, look into your ROM's packaging and push the build.prop from there. for instance, in ROM Manager, after flashing the WiFi Calling patch, it said under "Check for ROM Updates" that I had Xboarder Hybrid when I really have CM7.
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reflash cmkang. won't lose any data and the original kernel gets flashed with it. ;)
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Did you have a gps icon? Are you tmous? I use GPS a lot and on stock an DB faux I can't get GPS, tried restarting GPS with gps status, no luck
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Yup, wifi calling all day and battery life is awesome
[HTC Sensation] klaus27:
Again, the issue was there with the latest TripNDroid. This is another CM7 rom and again, it showed the exact same behavior. I flashed a kernel update and the issue disappeared. Likely that it works on CM7 as well.

From what I know, the issue is there because CM7 uses another way to put the phone in sleep mode and this screws the radio interface layer (ril). So using another way to put the phone in sleep likely fixes the issue.

Putting phone to sleep is most likely done within the kernel.

Getting a sense kernel to work on CM7 will probably fix the issue as it did on TripNDroid.

This is a good read probably: https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3155#c4
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
What kernel are

you using now
[HTC Sensation] :
ummmmm......23+ hours and near 30% utilizing CM7 and Faux's kernel.

I had 20+ hours yesterday and it was 48 hours after installing faux's kernel. I'm at 1.138GHz and -50mv.

Charge, go to recovery, wipe battery stats... wait...

You'll see a reflection in the change on the actual rom after 48 hours of usage if not longer...Don't jump the gun and don't make outrageous statements like "its been said before"... you don't speak for everyone, no one here does.
[HTC Sensation] e46ci:
pardon the ignorance...

for the install instructions, when you say 'WIPE', does that mean factory reset or just davlic/cache wipe?
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Wipe data, cache and dalvik in CWM recovery.
[HTC Sensation] :
If you are installing for the first time...

1) Launch clockworkmod recovery

2) Wipe/Factory reset

3) Wipe Cache

4) Advanced > Wipe Dalvik

5) Flash Rom

6) Flash Gapps (search)

7) Enjoy
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
Agreed! ...
[HTC Sensation] bigxie:
Just to elaborate on why wallpapers lose a lot of quality when set by the default 3D gallery (sometimes) is because the AOSP gallery from which CM7's is built uses only 16 bit color. This has been the case since its introduction in 2.1 (or was it 2.0?).

So it's really not too apparent unless there are gradients in your wallpaper. But if there are, because of the 16 bit color, you can see that the transition between colors is not smooth and there are actually "ridges" in the gradient.

Anyways, the way around this issue is to use a market app like someone said before in the thread. I guess 'Crop Wallpapers' is a good one.
[HTC Sensation] R-Rizzo:
Yeah' Faux killed GPS for me but fixed Bluetooth... re-flashed CM7 back "stock" kernel and Bluetooth is borked again, still waiting to test GPS
[HTC Sensation] e46ci:
btw, what does the gapps flash accomplish?

(i found the download link but i'm just not sure what it does and why i need it)
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
Installs your standard Google Apps (Market, Talk, Gmail, etc...)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
This is the Google Apps like Youtube, Gmail, Android Market, etc : )
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
besides the market, I have to go in and manually install each of those regardless of flashing gapps
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
I just use Titanium instead of manually doing that, makes it easier for me.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Ok I've searched in this thread a bit and I'm under the impression that it's mostly, if not only, non-US devices that have no GPS at all, like in the icon not even showing up.

So far I've tried:

-3 different radios.

-faux's 0.1.2 and 0.1.4 kernels.

-Wiping with a superwipe script, wiping with the options in recovery and also both methods together.

-Clearing caches.

-Fixing permissions.

-"gps.conf" fix.

I think that's all.

Don't get me wrong I know this is still an alpha and I'm not posting this to complain. I guess I'll have to wait for a new release for this to get fixed but do you guys have any other ideas I might try? I'm going out of town tomorrow and will need the GPS but I really don't want to go back to a sense ROM for GPS even for one day...
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Pretty sure there's a fix for this...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12097495

My only question is, does everyone else's wifi calling disconnect when your screen turns off. I never use it but decided to turn it on since everyone was saying how awesome battery life was with it on. Every time I turn my screen on, the wifi calling icon is gone & then it reconnects.
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
look at your wifi settings, press menu, select advanced and see what the sleep policy is listed as. you may need to select "never" if you haven't already
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
That worked perfectly. Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Its already been checked. Its checked that way by default. My wifi doesn't turn off. Just wifi calling does
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
2) does wipe both cache and dalvik so 3) and 4) are totally unnecessary

[HTC Sensation] e46ci:
performed all steps and i got it to install fine.

trying to read through the entire thread to figure out why i can't get sound when someone calls me. I hear phone ring, i answer, but can't hear them speaking on other end. Also having trouble communicating w/my car bluetooth :/
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
Not correct. Out of those 3 only the market is in gapps. Other than that it's carhome, quicksearchbox and talk as well as all the Google framework files required to run the Google apps import Google calendar, market updater etc.

Gmail, YouTube and such have to be installed from the market.

Running CM on an Asian Sensation (that usually costs you know ;-)) with zero GPS issues.
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
Mine wasn't on that by default.. It was set to 'When Screen Turns Off'

I switched it and I have never had any issues with calls getting dropped(But I don't use wifi calling. Seems pointless to me... You still use minutes. But I'm blessed with good coverage everywhere I go.)
[HTC Sensation] Mquinteiro:
battery

¿?¿?¿ Look this charts, the big battery drop is only a reset!!!!!

The batt, drops from 64% to 24%, and after that long periods of 0mA (this phone on) of comsumtion and mV going down and up.... crazy/lazy/liar batt???

off course all of this without charger pluged.....

Can someone explain this?
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
I only decided to try it when I saw all the praises for battery life with it. No big deal. Just thought I would give it a shot
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
well it actually isnt pointless since i use it and it doesnt use minutes(even more +). Since im always in good wifi ranges this feature helps me alot as i barely use any of my minutes and as a plus, downloads are much much faster on wifi and dont use up all my data
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
That happened to me too, but it became normal after one or two days so don't worry.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I have 0 reception in my house. Without wifi calling im just lost :-( I hate tmobile for that, but am happy for the wifi calling.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Let the rom sit for a while, everything should go back to normal.
[HTC Sensation] Mquinteiro:
My room was installed tree days ago, and my battery was stabilized two days ago, but suddenly, in a reboot, goes mad...
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
A lot of people don't realize batteries have chips, too. It tells the device it's powering how much it has left. The device on the other hand reacts depending on what data the battery gives it. For you to get the most accurate reading, those two has to communicate properly --calibrated. Let the battery settle in, try full charge-full discharge cycles, wipe battery stats in recovery, etc.
[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
but don't overdo it with wiping bat stats cause that's exactly what you 'll prevent from happening ; the battery settling in and calibrating.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yeap,

All the battery chip is for is to prevent overcharging. Over charging these batteries can have explosive consequences, literally!

The phone does the charging and the ROM does the statistics. When you see near 4.12v on the battery (use a multimeter if you have to) then it is charged.

Amusing, lol. On another note, has anyone found a sound profile for CM7 that isn't distorted on the louder settings yet?
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
nvm fixed it by running the Super Wipe script from the ARHD thread and installing InsertCoin 2.5.2 ROM and letting GPS Status run for about 30 min and finding 8-9 satellites. Then I ran the Super Wipe script again and restored my nandroid backup of CM7, rebooted to bootloader, flashed the radio to 10.15.9035.02_2 and the GPS is now working.

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yup, and 99% are about GPS or wifi calling. Ill bet if you google either, this topic from THIS forum will show the first 20 hits. Ugg...If a ROM didnt work for me, like that, Id just flash back rather than pollute.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
someone in the first few posts needs to edit them with the fixes... then we can all point them to that post:D

ie

GPS - not a region specific issue (i have a EU sensation in australia and mine works perfectly)... ensure u wipe caches before flashing, better if you use super wipe script before... ensure you fix permissions after flashing

Radio - persain said they were working on the RIL issue... personally i havnt changed my radio and it is working fine... i would recommend leaving the radio you had previous to flashing the CM7.. then see if you have signal, etc... if not, then worry about flashing a couple different radios to see what works, again it was stated they are working on the RIL fix but for now you need to make do until it is fixed

Wifi Calling - if you are in EU, or anywhere else or just dont like wifi calling... when the ROM first boots and you get crashes, DONT WHINE.. if it's shot, just freeze it with titanium backup, or uninstall it completely if you are EU sensation and then reboot.. crashes will be gone, wifi calling = gone.. deal with it for now

Edit

CPU Controlling: I can confirm these working personally with the paid versions

CPU Master pro - Used on Stock kernel and faux's kernel

System tuner pro - using right now with faux's kernel (he recommends it and it does work really well)

I feel lucky, my GPS works perfect along with everything else!! Kinda weird how everyone's phone varies.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
I've also been lucky enough never to have had any difficulties with GPS on my phone. In light of the multiple touchscreen manufacturers and assembly locations of our Sensations (as can be found in the General section), is it possible that there is a similar issue with the GPS units?

I know they're a little more complicated than the touchscreens, but is there any easy way for us users with working GPS to provide some system data about why ours are playing nicely while others' aren't?
[HTC Sensation] knuhkles:
Same here.... got problem with getting off phone call and audio starting up and it sounding robotic.... but, a screen off and on fixes the issue.... I must say very good alpha release.... great job cm7 crew...

GPS is a little slower then it was on Stock Sense but it works so I'm not complaining....

[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
ok i need serious help now :eek: :confused:

i was on sensation/cm forums and reading the gps related thread, cause my gps wouldn't work. the guy who started the thread then said he had ran the following ruu

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed

to get the radio from (he felt more assured running the ruu instead of just flashing the radio.

to test if the gps on his sensation would work with that radio, and it did alongside this ril:

HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ

so i flashed the radio he said he 'd installed (not the ruu) and now my phone wont boot up. also flashed the latest radio on top, with the same luck.

what should i do next ? run an ruu, flash another radio ? if any of those, which ?

i m on unbranded sensation (eu)

if i go on CWM recovery and attempt to restore my backup of either stock rom or cm7 would i be able to boot up ? or that would have nothing to do with the radio thus i won't avoid the issue of the phone not booting up (actually being stuck on the HTC splash screen)
