[HTC Sensation] Makzinations:
Dear XDA members,

I've purchased the HTC Sensation (non-4G) in July 2011 from eBay UK. After receiving the phone, it was branded with an Taiwanese stock factory firmware. The phone is from the UK, but I think the UK eBay seller bought it from the HTC factory(?) because it's Taiwanese branded.

After the devs achieved S-OFF and custom recovery I started flashing ROMs and everything went perfect.

Just 1 week ago, I was listening and recording some internet radio to my SD card using TuneIn Radio Player. I started recording radio in the evening, with my goal to record it the whole night to listen in the public transportation the next day. After the whole night recording, I woke up in the morning, tried to grab my Sensation, but it was so freaking hot that I said OUCH! within 2 seconds of holding the Sensation. The glass from the screen, the rubber back and aluminium back was so so hot! Also the battery should've been fully charged, but it was stuck at 65% with the notification LED blinking green and red like:

Green 0,2 seconds

Nothing 0,4 seconds

Red 0,2 seconds

Nothing 0,4 seconds

Green 0,2 seconds

Nothing 0,4 seconds

etc etc etc..

I pulled out the battery inmediately let it cool of for about 20 minutes and put the battery back in, and booted up. Everything seemed fine, it started recharging without problems. Also the strange LED lights were gone.

But that same day, the phone lost WIFI, was greyed out on status: Turning on Wi-Fi, but keeps greyed out. 3G mobile network was lost (no 3G/H icon, just nothing), returned after rebooting, but got lost with many other roms after the heat issue. - Phone randomly turns off, hard-poweroff. Just the whole phone power off from sec to sec, like pulling out the battery...

So all and all many issues, which in my eyes is caused by the extreme heated phone from that night. I want to revert it to Stock by removing ROOT, removing ClockWorkMod Recovery and restoring S-ON, to return it back to HTC for warranty. Followed the tutorial here in the DEV section, but got stuck at running the RUU.

I've downloaded the Taiwanese RUU again, ran it, said: 1) Removing user data (or something), Sending......... but gives me a Error 131 - Customer ID Error. I've readed a lot about making a goldcard, but in my eyes this isn't needed because my phone is unlocked, not carrier branded.. correct me if I'm wrong.. Also I can't find how to make a goldcard from an Sensation.

You can send me a message on WhatsApp for any question, which I preffer for the fastest reply: +31 6 41 73 11 58 Phone works correctly.

Best regards and thanks a lot in advance.

Anyone ? #Bump
[HTC Sensation] bubu782001:
Do you make SuperCID to your phone?

CID = Customer ID

If not, better do it.

WRITE SUPER CID (allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier).

1. Install HTC Sync (install all drivers from HTC Sync for YOUR phone)

2. Activate "USB debugging" on your phone, from "Settings -> Applications -> Development".

3. On "C" drive from your computer create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it.

4. Open command prompt and type "c:" enter, then the path to your adb folder "cd adb" enter.

5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it to USB in charging mode.

6. Enter the command "adb devices". (will show "List of devices attached" and YOUR serial number)

7. Enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (device WILL reboot in bootloader)

8. Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" (it should show your actual CID - write down YOUR CID in case you need to go back)

9. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (write as CID 11111111 - this mean SuperCID)

10. Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboot the bootloader)

11. Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" (it should confirm your new CID is 11111111)

12. Enter the command "fastboot reboot"

13. Now you can now flash any ROM you like.

Note:

To return to your original CID, repeat steps 6 to 11. On step 8 use YOUR ORIGINAL CID instead "11111111"
[HTC Sensation] dschidschei:
[ERR] Command error

> 9. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

On a MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL I'm getting the following error when executing step 9:

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

Is this to be expected? Any workaround? Thx
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Would anybody be interested in a stockish ROM, with many minor modifications that keep it running fast, smooth, great on the battery, and doesn't over heat? On top of that doesn't lag, lock up, or reboot It's self.

Comes with a personal custom skin, to give it a themed look.

All i want is stock rooted with sprint hotspot hacked. Thats it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I know that is something many want, but I won't put it in my ROM, as I'm not looking for any trouble since Sprint is now looking into tethering more. I wouldn't mind helping you get it though. :-)

[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I dont see a difference in the hack and almost every rom has the tether app built in.

Why do so many people like the sprint hotspot when wifi tether works just fine?

[HTC EVO 3D] Akasa Fox:
Try using Barnacle? That's the only one that worked for me on stock, and cracked hotspot worked on another rom.

OP, I'd love a rom like that, honestly. I need better battery life by far, or at least some way to undervolt with hboot 1.50.

I'll post it and let you privately test it if you'd like. It's also.great on memory space.

[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I've been using the tether app since my hero and personally I don't like that it randomly quits working. I get started with errors to often. Also my wifes nexus had hotspot hacked and I took the ota and broke root (on purpose) and even unrooted the hotspot still works. I'm hoping if I break root somehow in the future I can be saved with that same concept. Other than that I love the tether app because it also has 4g
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Because sprint hotspot has. Quick toggle button thingy that you can just press and turn on. Unless someone can get the WiFi tether to work on the quick settings then I prefer the sprint hotspot.

IMO

[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I remember this used to be an issue, but doesn't happen to me on the newest version.

Also, I understand the convenience of tethering being in the quick settings. I'm interested in looking into changing it to use the WiFi tether app. LOL

Hey Rydah, I've been lookmg for a ROM with MODs of course but totally in working order. It u need something tested I'd love to give it a spin. U can PM me if ur going to keep it private. Thanks bro
[HTC EVO 3D] blakklanta:
Please add 5mb mms limit to the rom. I want that in my stock rom now lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Right now I set it to 2 mb, since other carriers dont accept 5 mb mms messages, but I can throw it in.

[HTC Inspire 4G] gregrey:
I backed up my rooted Inspire and I swap different backups of different roms but the question i had was if my phone was lost would i be able to just restore a rom to a new phone or would i have issues becuase i did not have the original microsd card. In other words do you have to also backup your microsd card separately to a computer just incase you had your phone lost or stolen to restore a backup image?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Wouldn't work, or at least I don't think it would work as you described it. The new Inspire (or old one other then the one you lost) would also have to be rooted. If it wasn't rooted you wouldn't be able to get in cwr to restore the back-up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
If your phone is stolen you can get a new one root it and install your backups from cmw onto that phone no problems.

Not Gunna happen, beats is built into sense
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QNBT:
If your looking for the audio-profile that they get you should really consider using DSP manager or the inbuilt equalizer on some musicplayers. I personally like to use both the PlayerPro DSP and the DSP manager. Not audio quality wont really get better by using 2 but I'd like to get a stronger effect, to separate the bass and the clear tones (and almost eliminate the mid tones).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junpeikawada:
thanks for this man. I hope the Beats software be open to the public. I'll try Ice Cream Sunday next month.

[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
I'll post everything I've tried and everything that's gone wrong here.

So initially I purchased this phone off of a friend nearly brand new, the screen had broken and had been replaced. Otherwise the phone is in perfect factory condition.

I unlocked the phone, and am using it on Rogers. APN settings working perfectly.

I installed GOLauncherEX on the phone as Motoblur wasn't doing it for me.

Battery life was crap (lasting hardly 3 hours and dying while I sleep). I found that Motoblur HOME had been running alongside GOLauncherEX. At first I simply uninstalled the third-party launcher, but then opted to grab LauncherPro+ and HomeSwitcher. This dramatically improved battery life.

Lately, I've been having issues once in awhile again. Mostly if I leave the phone unplugged while I'm sleeping (fully charged when unplugged) and we'll use the timeline 3am - 11am. It would either die completely or drop to around 15%.

As long as I could have enough charge to last me through work, I was fine with this as it was way better than what had been happening before.

This morning something extreme and unexplainable happened.. and it's the first time I took a look at the battery usage meter to see what had happened. Picture is below.

If someone could offer some tips or help that would benefit me even the slightest, it would be very much appreciated.

My bad for sneaking a link in, but it was the only way to show the issue.

Oh and also, phone is rooted, bloatware is frozen via Titanium Backup Pro.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Have you recalibrated?
[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
Do you have any suggestions as to what to use to calibrate?

I'm not keen on flashing any new roms if that makes a difference.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Calibrating is something you may need to do after flashing a ROM, you can search and find a guide or you can use this app.
[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
I have not flashed any new roms and I don't intend on doing so, but I'll check out the app you posted.

Thanks for your help,

any new ideas are still welcome.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
The benefits of battery calibration are not limited to only if you flash a new ROM. Battery calibration should be the first thing you try if you are experiencing battery troubles imo, and there is allot more in depth information in the guides you could search for.

There is one more thing I can think of you can try, download Watchdog and see if there are any malicious or poorly written apps burning up your cpu/battery.
[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
Thanks for your help, grabbing Watchdog now.
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
Maybe unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom? :)
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Go into account and sync and shut off background data. I was getting. 10-12 hours battery life and now over 30 by just doing that. Worked for a buddy at work too.
[Atrix 4G General] sky007:
Radio is key. After I flashed radio 1.77.30p, my phone can easily using 3 days without freeze anything.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Do not use 1.97 radio and don't use task killers. 2.3.4 gingerbread does a much better job of killing tasks than Froyo did and it's unnecessary. Also, turning off background data is not necessary.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
I would say it is. Apps including google will try and update and locate your phone via 3g and gps when its sitting there idle. Its not necessary if you only install apps that dont use background data, or disable them individually but some dont allow it.

I still was able to get 15 hours with data enabled and over 30 with it disabled. There is a huge difference there. I just have to open my yahoo now to update it which I dont mind.
[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
While I appreciate everyone's replies and help, has anyone actually looked at the picture I posted?

As much as I am most definitely interested in prolonging my battery life, that picture is showing a sudden drop from 70% to completely dead, idling, screen off, while I'm asleep.
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
I would purchase a new battery from Motorola, It looks like your battery has one or more bad cells in it. Only thing that really explains it. Even with everything turned ON as far as data - the battery should not drop that far that fast.
[Atrix 4G General] Routaran:
i'm not entirely sure whats going on with the charge level dropping so sharply. Either something is draining your battery big time or the readout when it says 100% is incorrect.

I had issues with the battery up time as well. In my case, the battery wouldnt last more than 8-9 hours. I had to charge it two times a day. Once overnight so its 100% when i go to work and again as soon as i get home. If i charged to 100%, unplugged and went to bed, it would be at 15-20% when i woke up.

The last time i went abroad, i left the radio turned off completely. I noticed that the battery held its charge for about a day and a half.

Now i did root, unlock the BL and install CM7 on my phone. It seemed better but not that much. After i setup the phone to NOT use my 3G data connection while my wifi was on, i noticed that i was getting great battery life when i was at home but still rubbish at work.

I'm doing a test right now to see if this makes a difference or not. I have turned off data on my phone all together this morning. I charged it to 100%. Normally after 6 hours at work, my phone is at about 30-35%

Right now its sitting at 75%

the 3g is whats killing the battery, on my phone anyway. I will see how long the battery lasts without turning on my data at all. Then i will compare that with how its like with background data turned off.

I would suggest you try re-calibrating your phone's battery, i use battery calibration from the market. Then either turn data off altogether like i have or just turn background data off as the others have suggested and see what kind of a difference it makes.

While i realize you dont want to, it may help further to have a ROM like CM7 installed as it wont have all the bloatware that can further reduce the performance of your phone. You should definitely give turning the data off a go to see its the culprit before you go spend money on a new battery which may or may not fix the problem.

Best to isolate the root cause before you spend money on fixing it. If turning off the data doesnt do it, then you very well may have a battery problem.
[Atrix 4G General] SL1VR:
I'll definitely try everything you've mentioned, I did calibrate my battery since I first started this topic. I'm not sure if there's a difference, if there is, it isn't noticeable. My phone died last night, and I charged it overnight again so I haven't had a chance to see if what happened the other night will happen again. Soon enough, I'll post details if I notice anything peculiar.
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
Since you said you bought the phone off a friend I would like to make sure you have the right battery.

The battery "must" be of the following to show the right charge level, otherwise it might appear the battery discharging very quickly.

The part/model no.: SNN5893A

Manufacturing Date: ??/April/2011 or onwards
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
In regards to the poster above who mentioned shutting off background data, my phone lasts 17-19 hours running CM7 with nothing frozen, background data on, and I record quite a bit of video + pictures every day. I don't use task killers either. So I'm thinking that maybe the background data thing is either actually covering up a radio problem, a carrier issue, previous ROM information leaking through, or a faulty battery as stated above that could possibly need replaced.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] murse:
I sync music from my Mac to my Vibrant and found this app to work great for that purpose. I'm sure there are other apps that also do this, but iSyncr has worked great for me. They have versions for PC and Mac. They also have a wifi add-on, which is what I use primarily. There's a server component that runs on the computer and the app on the phone. You can set it up to sync automatically based on a schedule. Every night at midnight, my phone automagically syncs playlists AND uploads any pictures or videos from my phone to a directory on my computer (automatic photo backup, which I was looking for as well). I tried Doubletwist but it took way too much effort.

I'm not affiliated in any way with the developer, just a satisfied customer. It sucks to experiment with a bunch of apps to see what works, so if someone finds this helpful, great!

I'm also looking for a Custom ROM that allows us to connect to these kind of networks. Now, I can't test them because, as we are preparing our exams, we don't have to go to the University, so I don't know if ROMs work with WPA Enterprise or not.

GingerDX v021: it didn't connect to the 802.1x PEAP network.

FroyoPro v2.3: it connected twice. The second time was a bit hard to connect, but it did. After that, I couldn't connect to the Eduroam network anymore.

OK, I've tested GingerCruzt v8.5 at my University and it seems to connect to a 802.1x network (PEAP and MSCHAPv2) correctly (I did it manually). I haven't been able to test it a lot, but it didn't seem to cause any trouble.

I think it is because it has 0.6.10 version of wpa_supplicant or something like that. I supose that this ROM and any other based on MiniCM7 (including this one) would work.

I will continue testing more and more ROMs. Furthermore, I will try to make GingerDX work with this kind of networks, trying to update wpa_supplicant.
