[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
My quad core PC can, CPU temp increased by 6C to 42C when the fan died over the summer during a mini heatwave, which I thought was pretty impressive :D

Sensation is currently running at 43C having been charging and using wifi at max range.
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
haha imagine a first gen p4 running without a heatsink and fan, fried eggs anyone?

but on a more serious note they had to replace the main board on mine.... so even if this is is normal.. the phone should never fail due to this... and i know intel have had some issues with the architecture over the years and recalled some cpu's that melt... ya never know
[HTC Sensation] :
Overheating

So I put my OEM battery back in my Sensation last night and I was still noticing the bottom of the screen get hot to the touch.

I checked the battery temp and it was 39.1c this felt hot in my hand and all I doing was browsing the web on 3G. I have emailed HTC support to see if this is normal but I have a feeling it maybe judging by all the posts on various forums about the sensation overheating.

I have also notice the same issue this morning whilst sending a long sms with not data connected the battery temp was reported 36.8c.

Should I be concerned about this?

Thanks

Nik
[HTC Sensation] :
It is normal. :)

But every machine degrades coz of heat over a period of time.

Changing ROM can helps, I can feel the temperature difference.

Custom ROMs really helps, but you still get hot phone if you play your game over half an hour. I don't believe someone can play a game over 45 minutes, the battery could die by then.

Oh, dun let the battery completely die tough.
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks for the reply, it sets my mind at ease a bit.

I post the reply from HTC if I get one.

Nik
[HTC Sensation] gugi_sat:
lets see what they (HTC) say.... mine is getting hot anyway as mention before just as i get the temp by clicking the battery widget on home screen and its about 42c but its seems more warmer than it says ...nay way what you guys think that the max temp should be before it damage the phone...

thanx

Hi Guys

Well I got a reply from HTC this morning and it seems the phone shouldn't be getting this hot. They have asked me to send it to them for repairs.

Dear nNik xxxxxxx

Thank you for your email regarding your HTC Sensation.

we can arrange for your phone to be repaired. We provide this service for our customers through our Repair Centre in the UK. Please read the following instructions carefully.

We can arrange for UPS to collect your device from any address in the UK, Ireland or any other EU country, from Monday to Friday, 13:00 to 17:00 except weekends and public holidays.

The current time-scale for the repair is 10 working days from when it arrives at the HTC Repair Centre.

If the fault is found not to be covered by the warranty then the repair will be chargeable and a quotation for the full cost of the repair will be emailed to you. Should you choose not to go ahead with the quote; a £20 fee (approx) will be charged for the return of the device in an un-repaired state. This covers the shipping, evaluation, testing of the handset and VAT. If you choose not to pay the quotation then the device will be disposed of after 30 days.

Physical damage and Wear & Tear in the device is not covered under the warranty, and the repair centre may decide that the repair will be chargeable if damage is found.

If evidence of water damage or liquid ingress is discovered then the device will not be repaired. We can either return the phone to you un-repaired (at no charge to yourself) or we can dispose of it for you. It is un-economical to repair liquid damaged phones as the cost to you may be more then the cost of purchasing a brand new phone.

For more information on the Warranty please visit our website at this link: http://www.htc.com/www/support/warranty.html

Please backup your data prior to sending the device to us (if possible.) HTC are not responsible for any loss of data that occurs as a result of the repair.

If the phone has been unlocked please provide a copy of the email or letter from the mobile operator that confirms this. Failure to do this could result in the phone being returned to you locked once again to the network.

By proceeding with the repair you agree to the terms and conditions of the repair service. If you would like more information please follow this link: http://service.europe.htc.com/terms&conditions.pdf

If you would like the phone collected sooner then please call our helpline on 08458900079 (within UK) or on +44 (0)1279 206906 (outside UK) to arrange your booking.

stock s-on and send it back...
[HTC Sensation] :
thats the plan

that's the plan mate, although they say I'll have to wait for 10 days ish without a phone. Althought I do have an old Samsung D900 lying around somewhere...ewww the thought of using it makes me sick.

I'm just waiting for an answer to my question post in the Dev section in the guide to S-OFF

if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
[HTC Sensation] dfairlite:
Same problem. but it's not so hot that I feel like its dangerous, usually around 34c. my desktop is almost double that with a big ass heatsink.
[HTC Sensation] gugi_sat:
I Rang HTC today and they going to collect my phone on 19th and told me 7 working days to repair so lets see...
[HTC Sensation] :
This temp issues seems to be quite common.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Assuming you bought the phone from a retailer, take the phone back to them and get them to submit it for repair/replacement (legally it's their responsibility not HTC's), that way if HTC say "no it's not covered by warranty" you can turn around and say that's irrelevant, sale of goods act states that items must be in working order and fit for purpose, and getting so hot it's awkward to hold is not fit for purpose, so the retailer either has to pay for it to be repaired or replace it.

It'd save you £20 and give you more protection legally than going to HTC directly.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Dont send it to HTC unless you bought it direct from them, There is a year warranty from the retailer you got it from.If HTC said its faulty then the retailer is obligated to replace on the spot.After all, you shouldnt be without a phone as its not you fault!
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Update

Just to update on my original post:

First of all, the bottom of the phone heating up is NOT due to intensive use, it happens as soon as the screen stays on for a minute or longer.

Second, the screen (apart from the very bottom part) and the battery (checked by touching it with the cover off) stay at normal temperature.

Third, for the past 3 weeks I have observed battery dropping like a rock whenever the bottom gets hot - which is to say, whenever the screen stays on for more than a minute.

Fourth, THE SAME HAPPENS IN BOOTLOADER - so it is not a ROM issue (and I've tried loads of custom & stock ROMs) - I don't think it's the CWM either because the problem initially started on stock with S-ON.

Conclusion - because of 3) I will return my phone for repair.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Did anyone that returned their phone get it back yet?

For various reasons I haven't gotten around to returning mine yet for repair - so it's been about 3 weeks since the bottom part of my phone started heating whenever the screen is on.

By now the battery life has gotten so bad that it won't even last a working day with light usage (7 hrs with 1 hr screen on for SMS, browsing). Also, the last 2 days it started randomly rebooting once battery got below 40%.

Hopefully will return it tomorrow.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Phone "repaired" under warranty

In case anyone's still following this thread:

After waiting for a bloody month for my phone to be repaired under warranty, I get it back - and the problem has NOT gone away.

I will be returning to the store very angrily tomorrow, demanding a fully functional phone within 2 weeks max!

Solution:

1. Buy tazer.

2. Open phone.

3. You know the rest.

[HTC Sensation] krnchonnom:
Okay i was repairing this phone before and i can tell u that it is the issue with the lcd screen and the board.

The lcd panel gets hot towards the bottom where the leds light up.

So in turn that heat can transfer onto the mainboard of the phone and make it seem like the board is heating up.

I dont think brightness is not the factor. As i can use the phone in lowest brightness and it still heats up.

I also know the mainboard heats up too. I would turn it on without the lcd panel and you can feel the phone heating up on the motherboard.

I thought it was the water damage from moisture, but the phone works. I just thought of it to be the affect of moisture.

I acquired another sensation in new condition and that heats up too. So it wasnt the moisture but the phone itself.

So i have no clue if there are any fixes for this or what not.

Letting you guys know what i have found.
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
I have the Abner battery and it makes my phone have a weird vibration. Should I call HTC and try to get a new back cover or try to get another battery? Or do people know of other fixes
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
First I've heard of this. I am assuming that you are saying when the phone is set to vibrate it sounds or feels different. The anker battery is slightly larger than the stock but I don't think a new cover will change anything unless your current cover is somehow damaged.
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
Yeah me either. Thanks for your input. I ordered a new back cover and I'll get it sometime this week, I got a warranty exchanged one. I will see if that fixes it, and if it doesn't... Then I guess I'll have to order a new anker.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shurafa:
I just flashed Overcome 3.1 on the my ATT Galaxy Tab 7. The rom is super smooth. Everything appeared to go flawlessly however once completed I was unable to establish a proper data connection.

Its shows 4 bars and says connected to ATT as the "Network" under the Status menu. However the "Mobile Network State" is listed as disconnected.

If I go into the Mobile Network Settings. Under Network Operators ATT is listed under Auto Connect and if I rescan it accepts the choice and then says Registered on Network.

I cannot browse the internet. I called ATT and they were able to send me a SMS so there is some sort of connection. We could not troubleshoot any further as there systems are down.

I did a vanilla Overcome Install. Is there a post install step that I need to do? I seem to remember a similar issue with my Dell Streak that involved modifying my APN settings. Here are the APN settings for the device. (these are the Overcome defaults i believe)

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: blank

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid2Froyo:
I read this on this forum somewhere, and has always worked for me when reflashing. This is ONLY for the Pay as You Go data service to my knowledge. Your mileage may vary.

I changed my APN to the following EXACTLY:

Name: Broadband

APN: Broadband

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

User name: blank

Password: blank

Sever: leave blank (Will read: <not set>)

MMSC: not set (delete whats in here)

MMS proxy: not set (delete whats in here)

MMS port: not set (delete whats in here)

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: none

APN type: internet

I always get a connection this way. No MMS, but I don't use it anyway, that's what my phone is for. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The "broadband" apn is only for the sim card that came with a stock at&t tab, and not for the sim cards we all took from other phones.

For the former phone sim cards, wap.cingular or isp.cingular apn's.

The setting should be to "auto".

You didn't mention your modem - baseband.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shurafa:
Baseband: I9000UGJK3

Modem: I am not sure how to verify this on the device (Im an n00b). I did follow the wonderful guide on Team Overcome and it recommended using "JK3 Modem" During the install. I would assume this is what I am using. How can I verify this?

PS. I wapped in my phone SIM card and everything works just fine. I can even make phone calls!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shurafa:
This did the trick! I used these settings with the replacement SIM card they gave me at the ATT store...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Good job. The baseband is the modem, so you are using JK3 - that's the best choice for you.

Hi everyone,

Lately while working on GingerDxv12 (w/opt.hotfix)

The screen tends to blackout after couple of minutes while its idle,

pushing the power button yields nothing, same for the operating 3 keys.

But when sliding the keyboard up, it makes the unlocking sound (but not always) ; as it seems that the phone got somesort of a coma, the only way to fix it for now is plugging out the batt.

Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Edit: Oops! just found out this is the X8 forum (how'd i got here anyway?) can anyone move it to X10 forum? Thanks again and sorry :)
[HTC Desire S] Rich196:
I have a desire s on Tmobile and want to debrand it to see if this solves my problems in failing to receive texts and phone calls.

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this, and can i rebrand the phone if I need to send it back?

Links or a how to guides would be great thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
De-branding alone won't resolve errors on your phone, but will void your warranty.

If your problems are reproductive and not just intermittent then I'd suggest that you return your device under warranty and seek a replacement.
[HTC Desire S] Rich196:
Iv had 2 desire s from tmobile now both have done the same thing, I am sure its not a hardware issue I think its a problem with the tmobile software, or whatever enables it to use orange signal aswell
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hmmm....?:confused:

I can only take you at your word....but, my wife has a branded T-mobile desire s which functions fine and has done for over a month now.

Where as I have a non-branded desire s which also runs on T-mobile but is unlocked and runs customs ROM which also runs fine.

Failing to receive texts does sound like a network issue not a device problem?
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
I also have a t-mobile desire s and all works fine, am on custom rom at the moment and have tried most of them and not had a problem with any off them. Also all worked well when it was stock rom.

Are you sure all your apn settings are correct.
[HTC Desire S] Rich196:
Im not sure could you tell me the correct ones please?

Balloon Gunner 3D[Free]

Balloon Gunner is a full-on-action 3D shoot'em up with a "steampunky" flavor.

The islands of your Empire have been invaded, and only you and your war balloon can save them!!

Tilt and swerve your phone to fly your balloon through an array of different missions and enemies. Use cannons, missiles and bombs to blast your way to victory!

Features:

* Stereoscopic 3D visuals on LG Optimus 3D, LG Thrill 4G and HTC EVO 3D handsets.

* Full stereo sound effects as your enemies buzz around you and attack from all sides!

* Simple, fun, addictive gameplay. No tutorials and complex controls - just point and shoot!

* 40 levels spread over 4 different environments.

* Even runs on older, lower-spec devices such as the HTC Desire.

Explanation of required app permissions:

* WAKE_LOCK stops the screen from switching off if there's a break in the firing.

* INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE are used by both the in-game ads and analytics, which are common app features.

If you spot any bugs or if the app doesn't work for any reason, please let us know. We can't fix things we don't know about! :-)

Note that the HTC EVO 3D supposedly has a general problem with random rebooting, so if you play Balloon Gunner 3D and this happens, it's the phone, not the game!

Also, there's an issue on some tablets where you'll just rotate endlessly instead of being able to control your balloon. The fix for this will be in the next update.

If you'd like the see Balloon Gunner 3D in another language and you can provide free translations, please get in touch!

As an American living in China ... I'm hoping that SOMEONE here has experience / advice on how to:

and flash the ROM

for my Motorola XT882

Yes, I know it's only sold here in China ... and it seems cool - except it won't be anywhere near cool if I can get the d'mn thing flashed.

There's no market, no ability to add a Google user account, and a ton of crap software that motorola only intended Chinese literate people to use .... the applications were developed in Chinese ONLY regardless of the OS setting.

Really hoping someone can tell me ... can I use the ATRIX root process?

Can I use an ATRIX ROM?

Thanks
