[HTC Sensation] stefan75:
Hello everyone, I have a quick question for y'all. I have a rooted sensation on T-Mobile US and after I flash a rom my hardware buttons (back, home, menu, search) don't seem to respond well. I have to keep pressing them a bunch of times before the button works. Is this a problem that HTC can fix? Or am I sol? And if HTC can fix it do I need to unroot to send in my device?

I am using my Nexus one for now until I resolve this issue.

Thanks in advanced.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I suggest you revert back to the ROM that was working fine.

If it is an hardware issue,the buttons won't work on the old ROM either.

And ,yes,if you have to send it back,you have to unroot it,and return it to stock.

:)
[HTC Sensation] stefan75:
Thank you for the reply. Is there a way to unroot that won't brick my phone?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is always a risk when returning to "out-of-the-box" state.

No it is absolutely not possible because Beats is only for Sense 3.0 and the link above this post is only for Sense 3.0 devices. :(

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
I went for a genuine SIM-FREE one (at extra cost), so the bootloader can be unlocked.

What does this mean with regards to getting updates and rooting the device?

Can I download the latest OTA update when I boot the phone, and by doing so, will it lock me out of doing anything? (i'm guessing after taking the latest OTA, I can still request a bootloader unlock?)

I have seen some posts suggesting that once you unlock the bootloader, you will stop getting OTA updates, which would suck, as Android 4.0 is out soon(ish), and I wouldn't want to prevent my phone from being able to get that.

I'm sorta tempted to get the latest OTA and then leave it for a while until I understand the pros and cons of unlocking the bootloader, and rooting the phone.

Sorry to sound like a Newb, but all phones are different, I have a HTC Legend, and know all about that one, ditto for my Asus Transformer, both are rooted with CWM recovery, but only once I worked out what the pros and cons are.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
If youve bought one sim-free (and thus unbranded, good call) then you should (as of, like, yesterday, good timing) be able to root without unlocking the bootloader (see this thread for how).

Thus the only reason for you to unlock the bootloader would be when you want to install a custom rom, and if youre running a custom rom youre not really going to be wanting OTA updates blatted on top of them :D

As far as getting OTA updates when rooted - so far OTA updates have worked fine on rooted arcs (and have maintained root). But, with this new rooting method we dont yet know what the outcome would be with an OTA update. However, when 4.0 rolls around you should still be able to flash it via SEUS unless youve also unlocked the bootloader, which stops SEUS from working. Also - if you do unlock the bootloader DO NOT ACCEPT any OTA updates, this can brick the phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
Thanks, for the moment, i'll hold off unlocking the bootloader, accept OTA updates and then root it (or should I root it for and then update?)

The unlocking of the bootloader is only really of use when SE stop supporting the phone....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Not really, even while SE continue to support the handset, some people will always prefer to be able to flash custom ROMs - CM7 offers a lot of nice features, some of which Google have actually copied in ICS.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlz:
Imo the arc s is a very good phone that needn't be rooted or boot loader unlocked unless you want themed or roms. Now if there was a mod for the stock camera app to give lower compression images, I'd root straight away.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
The reason I root is so I can use AdFree and MyBackup Pro , which both require root, there are also some other handy root-required apps....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
LOADS of reasons to root.

Crapware removal, titanium backup, drocap2, button saviour, root explorer, SE panorama app, appwidgetpicker, transparent dock... the list goes on.

However, not everyone needs/wants these things. Horses for courses innit?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] b4d5h0t:
Hi all, ive had my play for a few months now and im having problems with battery life as most seem to have had at some point. Ive tried a bigger battery but it turns the phone into something from the 90s lol....so i then tried some task killers but ive noticed they seem to kill a few tasks, then 5 mins later the tasks have started themselves up again so i spend my time going in and out of the task killer hitting optimise which is a total pain and im thinking pointless? Ive heard these newer builds of android manage tasks anyway but i think there are still some tasks/processes i could do without... My question is, would it just be better to uninstall the task manager and then manually force close tasks/processes i dont need and if i do do this will they stay closed/killed till i manually open them again or reboot, or will they automatically restart themselves? Im mainly talking about preloaded stuff i dont need like timescape and data monitor and other battery eating rubbish.

Rooting is an option but now being on 2.3.3 and awaiting 2.3.4 it seems like alot of agro just to clear some running bloatware (downgrading to uk generic firmware 2.2 then gingerbreak then upgrading then removing bloatware then reinstalling removed bloatware for every update, sigh)... If the damn tasks would just stay closed im sure my battery would last a bit longer...

So any difference force closing tasks manually vs task killers and would it help with battery life?

This is a great phone with 2 flaws one is battery life the second is small internal memory... Rooting seems to help fix these problems from what i have read. Why cant sony release a small app/program to let us clear the bloatware without the hassle of rooting.

This has turned into more of a rant, whoops!

Any ideas...?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bubblegumballoon:
Theres no way to remove the bloatware without root access. I rooted my xplay yesterday using the new zergrush method, you dont need to downgrade or anything you just type in a bunch of stuff in the command promt and its done.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Just to add on to AndroHero's post. In short, Task Killers actually REDUCE your battery life. Just leave it alone, turn off bluetooth and wifi, etc when youre not using them, keep your text message conversations low, and your email inbox clear. Thats about all you can do.

Also the battery life may be related to your coverage area. My phone will last all weekend at home, but is dead in 8 hours at my office due to all the interference and poor cell service coverage, its always searching for signal.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] b4d5h0t:
Very interesting thank you for the detailed explanation and tips. Im gonna remove my task killer and try watchdog if i can, to keep an eye on my cpu. I am also going to look into rooting my phone, its just the constant android updates and horror storys of rooted phones with removed bloatware bricking after OTA thats putting me off.

I can understand how having an app in memory ready to go keeps your phone quick (in the same way a cookie in your browser cache makes a page load faster?) but if the app is monitoring data or connecting to the net then they are using some cpu and need to be terminated or stopped from starting. It looks like the only way to do this is to root and then as said in your post ill beable to stop them starting up in the first place.

Thanks again for your time and info
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Rooting is not going to do this for you. Rooting WILL allow you to remove apps that have no use to you whatsoever. But apps, even ones you aren't using are still going to behave like this. Not only that, but those actions are part of what keeps them snappy. And if you kill them, all you would be doing is making it harder and slower to run them when you need to as it will do all those things you wanted it to not do while it was in the background. That drains the battery more. The path you are following with this isn't gonna solve your problem. Android manages its memory on its own better than any of us can.

As I mentioned about coverage area, for example do you have poor service where you are? If you have WiFi keeping it on will prevent the phone from searching for data service which will help.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
You may also want to try a minifree manager like autokiller in the market. Rather that acting like a task killer, it can edit androids built in process manager you can change how much ram is allocated to background and foregrounds apps and also how much memory android cache's, the cache is the minium amount of ram that android allows to be free, you could set it to 150mb if you wanted, then android will never let your free ram go lower than 150mb. :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] b4d5h0t:
Nice one ill look into it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheCraig:
Just let Android manage itself, My Xperia play will last an entire day with a lot of use such as wifi, Bluetooth and other things.

[HTC Sensation] dedo.93:
2G < 3G < WiFi

Isn't right?
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
your mobile data consumes more when it's actually working. it consumes less when the phone is in standby.
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Wifi is a killer, when used.
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
3G uses more power when in use.

Wifi uses less when in use.

Leaving wifi on and idle uses more than your data on at idle.

Think about it. Wifi only works up to a few hundred metres and 3g works up to about 30 miles!

[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
In my experience. Wifi and leaving it on always uses less power. I avoid 3g whenever possible.

Workaround

Happens to me occasionally. It is irritating. You can do what I do and just send yourself a message. When you receive the message, the 1 remains (instead of incrementing to 2), and should go away once you read your own message :p

Also, I had this happen the other day, and was rebooting for an unrelated reason, and it STILL hadn't gone away afterwards, but the above workaround has never failed for me :)

Im not sure if Android 3.2 has this function intergrated it the system and it was only disabled, or some Devs here have to implement it in the OS.

Android 4 would be the better option to switch.. ;)

Android 4.0 ICS is two in one. That's what i want, 5.3' screen and vanilla ICS. If i could be certain that vanilla ICS will be ported to Note, i would buy the Note right now. But nobody knows this for sure, so i guess i end up buying the Nexus.
