We will potentially be releasing a second alpha tomorrow (provided we can fix one remaining bug). The new alpha should fix the remaining sound issues, the wifi calling FC, and maybe even the screen-off ril issue. I have seen the ril issue before on glacier, but we are taking a different, less hacky route to fix it.

All in all, blame HTC for their hacky methods ;)

Also, excuse the bold + color. this thread moves fast and I wanted to make sure people saw this.

Just gotta write this again. CM7 on my USA Sensation, no OC'ing, doing the same things i did when i had stock sense on it, same apps etc. and I'm only getting 8-9hrs of battery life with light usage. Battery calibrated with CM7 too.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

You should edit the first post and put it on top then? :)

Keyan, how's your battery life? I'm getting 8-9hrs with my usa sensation with CM7 with light usage. I got over 10-12hrs with stock sense.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
I'm getting over 24hours with light usage. Sounds like you might have a rouge app running in the background. Battery life has been better than stock Sense for me. Thanks CM7 + KMOB!!!
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
Sounds good, thanks for the update.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
My cell signal and wifi reception have been weak compared to stock Sense. Hopefully as CM7 matures, these issues will be rectified.
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
Do you have everything turned off or something?

I have all my synching set very conservatively. Facebook/Weather every 4 hrs, Google account is set to sync, and that's it.

I really don't know why Android System is taking up so much, something is definitely wrong.

Here's my batt stats:
[HTC Sensation] superg81:
no issues here...at all
[HTC Sensation] androapps:
Thanks for the info, I'll let you know if it works on my bt later today :)
[HTC Sensation] jomaxwel:
Battery life is better then stock and with moderate use my results.
[HTC Sensation] vitusdoom:
thats quite low. only 8-9hours? and lite usage? I fully charge my phone yesterday and got to work 7am. lets just say it starts 7. I got home around 6(wifi connects automatically at home and i have never turned off my wifi), played with the thing until 8-9ish(cm7,adw stuff downloading stuff from market that would make the thing look rough and nice). after that, I installed star legends and played until 10pm. I stopped because I had a red battery(6% battery). and it kept bugging me to plug the device. :)

So, the whole day, just got the social media apps going. a lil music here/there. kept calling my wife(5-6times with roughly more or less, 5-8 mins the most) and a couple of sms.

I'm not sure if you can rate this as lite or medium use but surely, it gives me more than 12 hours. :)

I'm not sure if I did some stuff experimenting with the codes/previous roms i dumped on the device and some apks and all. but I'm just happy im one of those who's pretty much, happy with the device :D

EDIT: I charged it last night(10-11pm) and plugged it off before I left the house for work somewhere around 6am. But i'm not using the phone right now as much as yesterday but I got my wifi on all the time, 3 calls, couple of sms, internet, email and "facebook" (haha) I have 6:48 hours of battery and 77% battery remaining. :o
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
can someone using this radio please post a screen shot of your download speeds?
[HTC Sensation] one8s3v3n:
Wow this is the most stable alpha build I've flashed to date. Awesome work. Thank God for cyanogenMod. No more looking for that perfect rom and no more sense.

I did however noticed I can't send mms and as other ppl have notice CPU setting are a no go. I know its a small and insignificant bug but is anyone having the mms bug? Oh and I can't seem to calibrate the battery correctly. It will show 4137mv at 100% but wont go any higher. At 99% shows 4200. Tried calibrating it at 99 but doesn't ever reach 4200 at 100%.

Side note: I applied the supercharger script to this build and OMG can u say nitrofied......lol
[HTC Sensation] MoeKz:
Hey, uh, what's the supercharger script do exactly? :)
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
What was the Bluetooth problem again? Just tested mine and it's all fine.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
No sound when using phones for calls. Weird thing is i recall having sound yesterday and have tried everything to get it back.

Maybe the GPS will work with that radio... I'll give it a try.

Ok, deffinately still some Bluetooth issues. I can pair with my Nissan, but absolutely no sound. Besides that this is an amazing build, although without bt it's un-useable at this moment for me.

[HTC Sensation] nexicon:
I have an honest question. How long do you think until we'll be seeing the release candidates or stable build? How long does it take on average, if there is one? I haven't used CM7 before so I'm kinda new to it but have been waiting way too long for it. Thanks in advance.

I've been using it since yesterday and the only thing not working for me is GPS. I'm also using the Faux kernel.

I believe, judging by how complete and relatively bug free this alpha is, that we'll see a stable build fairly quickly.

I have two questions.

How to I remove apps from the drawer? I've tried freezing them in titanium. Backup. But that doesn't seem to work... Ive also tried holding my finger on them and dragging them into the bin but again, that does work.

Is there a battery % mod available? Also an old market mod or can I safely use the others that are floating around?

No. I like CM but everyone is complaining so it's making me nervous about flashing. Im downloading now.

You have me confused with that other guy.. LOL but its cool bro. I forgive you. Our names were similar.

Edit: Flashed.. No issues at all.. Tmobile version and i didnt flash and RILS or any radios either. Used it just like it came and it works really well.

Has this been posted already?

Someone over in the cyanogenmod forum posted a link to a file which should resolve the proximity / call drop issue

Confirmed, it is working on mine.

To install:

Extract the zip file to c:\

adb remount

adb push c:\libhtc_ril.so /system/lib/

adb shell

chmod 644 /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

chown root:root /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

reboot

It's not exactly the answer that you are looking ofr, but if this release is near to stable I hope that the next one will be very usable and stable.

[HTC Sensation] joeyklatzko:
I had an odd bug today. On two occasions my phone told me that the "SD Card was Unexpectedly Removed". It was unmounted in the "SD Card & Storage" menu under settings. First time I rebooted and it was fine for a while. Next time I just opened the back and popped the SD card in and out and it was fine. Both happened hours apart and I can't seem to reproduce it at will.

[HTC Sensation] Arsenal23:

[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
tried that- last time i didnt do the chown root:root thing so i did it this time but it still kills all 3G reception.. i have to push the stock one back to get it working again

Huh? what's this meant to mean? That CM dev's aren't good ?? do you understand that this is an AOSP type rom and that pretty much all sense features depend heavily on HTC framework and thus cannot be made to work on a non-sense rom without hackery???

CM will not use propietry stuff as they once got in trouble for doing that and all their stuff is compiled from source.

I also prefer the sense camera, but the rest of sense apart from the lockscreen suck big time imo.
[HTC Sensation] klaus27:
To be honest, I don't care about 2G/3G unless I am able to receive calls. But you are correct, I lost data connectivity....

Ring and notification volume issue

Here is a bug I encountered:

Plug in headphone jack and play music using build-in music player. While playing, pull out headphone jack. Then music paused as expected. However the ring and notification volume became so low, that you can bearly hear! After you make a sound through apps, like resuming playing or playing a game etc., the ring volume returned to normal.
[HTC Sensation] Mquinteiro:
mmmmm, near 50 post talking about it.

you can:

1. - Go to Settings

2. - Go to Cyanogen Mod Settings

3. - Go to Sound

4. - Scroll down and find "Always play on speaker"

5. - Check Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms

or you can:

This patch also solve the wrong speaker selection for notifications/alarm/and ring tones after a call.

I am loosing 3G connection as well - regardless which radio I use. On the other hand it fixes the call drops.
[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
after 3-4 charges i think my battery 's settled down. (i use stock + 2 chichitecs and charge all of them on a wall charger - never charge with either usb or the charger of the phone)

for example i am at 16hours 22m 54s with 55% left. (8 hours of which i was asleep but still). i think battery 's beyond fine, compared to stock, maybe not against other custom roms. (best battery conserving rom for me has been senseless extreme (probs beast too since its the same), since i 'd gotten 36 or so hours of moderate use.. anyway, cm7 alpha and look at us we 're all pumped, excited and happy about it.. can't wait for nightlies so we can actively contribute upon bug reporting/fixing as well. :)
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Unbranded?

I'm on Tmobile using out of the box and works perfectly. I don't OC or do the ril/radio flashing.

I don't even have the audio problem otgers were talking about. I'm completely 100% issue free. Thank you CM Team.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
I can confirm this. It seems trying to update radio libs wipes APNs and there's a bug where you can't save new APNs. I had to Nandroid restore to get data back.

[HTC Sensation] tunamloohnah:
Hey guys, if you're like me and the camera on cm7 really gets you down, flash an MIUI camera! I flashed one for the HD2 and it looks much better :)

hey, since you suggest something this good, and its possible that you 're expressing the view of a great portion of cm users, provide people with a link or a zip.
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
It's been 60 pages or so so I guess I can say my previous post is officially buried.

After running this ROM for a while (An hour, a day, depends), the phone will suddenly turn off the screen, light up the capacitive buttons, and won't respond to the power button. It just hangs there until you pull the battery. After it happens the first time, it starts happening more frequently (A few minutes after booting up, an hour after booting up, again depends).

I'm using T-Mobile's Sensation. I've tried it stock and with Faux's kernel. I've tried it with titanium backup, without titanium backup (on stock). It keeps happening. For me, this ROM has no stability.

I used to get this running custom Sense ROMs as well. I kept moving on to new ROMs, and eventually it stopped happening when I tried Senseless Extreme and the original MIUI from Trip. The new MIUI based off CM7 has the same problem.

If anyone knows if there's a fix, or why this is happening, please help ._. I've tried searching and found nothing relevant in the results.

Odd man... on T-Mobile US Sensation and have never had that happen to me.

[HTC Sensation] whato1986:
Can someone please explain to me in simple language why with this cm7 alpha build do we have to recondition our batteries in order for the battery to last as long as it did with sense?
[HTC Sensation] SCossio:
Can you advise. Where we can get it or post the file please
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Uhhhhh you sorta have to recondition the battery with every Rom flash not just cm7

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:

[HTC Sensation] juggaknot77:
I had this same problem when I had the CM7 on my Sensation.

When I went to sleep on Monday night in the middle of the night I wake up to go the bathroom and to find that the capacitive buttons on my Sensation were all lit up and the the device was non responsive. I don't how long it was like this but It must've been like that for a long time because it was extremely hot If I hadn't gotten up to use the bathroom I imagine that my device might've burnt out over night due to the extreme heat, IDK but at this point I'm waiting for a stable CM7 release before I go back to it. Just my opinion I'm sure there's folks who will say they haven't experienced this issue..
[HTC Sensation] :
Roms have different kernels

Roms have different apps

Roms have different framework/file structure

Some roms are ext3, some roms are ext 4.

These variables lead to differences in how each rom behaves, not just CM7. Therefore, your battery is effected due to different apps running differently between different roms... etc.

It's really not so much reconditioning as it is simple logic... we flash a new rom, we play with it non-stop and are surprised when the battery dies in 4 hours... lol.

As we let the battery cycle it starts to act normal, not only because it's "reconditioning" but because our usage also decreases, allowing the battery to operate normally.

Therefore, it's wise to charge fully, wipe the stats, drain and repeat...
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I get drop calls all the time now. I can hear the other person for like 3seconds and than the phone loses all connection.

This is pretty annoying :(

Moderate usage like some web surfing. Some downloads, downloaded new game called words. Played for about 15 minutes. Made a bunch of calls. Used maps and GPS spent a lot of time reading this thread constantly refreshing it. A lot of SMS

Its 9am next day I have not charged it what so ever

[HTC Sensation] LupusHD2:
Never had it, i 'd say i it's a bad flash. try re-dl 'ing the files and check the md5 sums before you flash them, and follow the procedure closely and report back. (i know that as you said you tried diff kernels and w/ and w/o titanium restores but still..)

its not just CM7, you have to do it with any rom. not so much condition the bat, just allow a few full cycle charges before you can make any assumptions on battery life that's all.

[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Would it anyway be possible to use the MIUI AND the AOSP Camera? I like the aosp one cause you can use the volume buttons and power to take pics and what not, but miui has the better focus.
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
I checked the md5 sum, it's correct. It's not a bad flash, there's something wrong with CM7.

I'd be more inclined to believe the black screen bug was a hardware issue if it wasn't ROM dependent. Stock, Senseless Extreme, the original MIUI (from Trip) don't have the problem. It's only an issue in a few ROMs (CM7, MIUI based on CM7, a few Sense ROMs)
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Show me.
[HTC Sensation] :
I honestly don't know. Anyone else have a take on this?

1) Logcat's to the dev = fixing issues (not busting your balls by any means, just saying)

2) Saying something is wrong with an Alpha release of anything is the same as going to a high school football game and saying they aren't ready for the NFL yet...

Point being? It takes time to perfect a release... if it's not working, flash something else and wait for a stable release. Otherwise post a logcat and contribute to the bug tracker for a correction

Since third camera app can be downloaded on the market, why not this one ? try to rename the camera.apk like cameraMIUI.apk and then install it with root explorer, maybe.... but just an idea, i'm not dev :D

and DON'T forget to make a backup before ;)
[HTC Sensation] :
the problem, i think, is that the apk knows the directories of where to replace/update files... and it updates the existing directory. Whereas third camera has it's own special place it goes to... it would be a matter of rewriting MIUI camera to install into a different directory?

I could be totally wrong, i'm going off an assumption

[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Yep, I'm honestly glad it's released and understand it's an alpha. It wasn't mentioned in the bug list and no one else was talking about it so I thought I'd bring it to attention. If/when I can get it captured on logcat, I'll submit a bug report.

I was more curious if someone had already fixed the issue. It happens on some Sense ROMs too, so it's been around for a while.
