[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
So I finally opened up my phone as I was sick of the power button not functioning as it should (sometime one click recognized as multiple clicks, etc) so I opened up the phone, pulled out the tab covering the button and discovered whats used as a switch for the phone. To my amazement, all it is a concaved metal circle piece which makes contact with two metal plates (making a full connection to be registered as a click when this concave piece is pressed down). Obviously, if this very flimsy metallic circle piece wears out (which I assume is very quickly) it will cause an issue for your button.What's worse is that its not even secured tightly to the phone, All that is used to secure it to the phone is the pressure of that piece of plastic tab everyone is accustomed of seeing. i'm furious to discover this about the build quality of htc phone and will double think the next time I make the purchase.

This should help debunk some of the theories that its from a software issue rather than hardware issue.

Edit: uploaded the photo, the white circular thing is the metal piece and the black dot is the thing sticking out, the yellow piece attached to the black dot is the piece of plastic sticking on to the concave
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Nice finding. Thanks for this info. You have the guts to do that & void your warranty?? :D
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I don't know why they'd think this design would work.
[HTC Sensation] dave927:
I suffer the same issue...

[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
ya warranty is not gonna happen, bought a refurbished unit from a seller on ebay who lives in the states (i'm in canada). I did clean out the contacts a bit and Mcgivered the button a bit and my current observation is that at least its still usable. Honestly though, a design like this where one of the most important button on the phone is governed by a thin metal flake is just ridiculous. If you've seen it in person, you would be surprised that the phone lasted longer than a week.
[HTC Sensation] triStateMindgate:
That's just plain sad. This is my first HTC device and all the hype about build quality.... I'm personally never purchasing another HTC device, not until maybe they come out with something jaw dropping.. Between the power button issue which gotten worse over the past 2 weeks, dust under the screen, touchscreen issues, I'm done. Getting my warranty exchange Monday, selling it, ordering the GS...

Thanks for the find and info
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
No.

No.

No.

If you still believe it is a hardware issue, then someone PLEASE explain to me why you can install the InsertCoin ROM on the SAME exact hardware where the issue IS currently present, and then suddenly it will magically disappear?

While you're at it, you might as well explain why this issue wasn't present in some of the earliest stock builds.

Now I'm no developer, but I believe there is a very very small detail that was changed in one of the firmware updates, relating to how the device registers the power button click, that is the root of the issue.
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
i've tested it out throughly. Basically, when the metal flake doesn't bounce back up (or comes up slowly) after its pressed, the phone think it's being pressed multiple times (screens rapidly turning on and off). Obviously, developers can code it in their software to only recognize one press followed by a delay in ms before another press could be recognized, that's probably how your new firmwares fixed the problem. Otherwise, as these metal flakes wear out, this problem will sure start to occure more freqently.
[HTC Sensation] triStateMindgate:
I've heard that the issue emerged with the 2.3.4 firmware, recently I unrooted, reversed S-Off and all that to get it ready for my warranty exchange, and of course original RUU brought me back to 2.3.3.. While I never had a problem at the start, even with CM, when I reversed 2 days ago, the Power button issue emerged, so my take is its hardware, my opinion but I could be wrong. Giving how stupid the design is, I'm not surprised if it is.. I mean really, The effin back cover has to make proper ground contact for the touchscreen, of course its going to get worn out eventually, one of many issues that piss me off with this phone.
[HTC Sensation] musmos:
There is nothing wrong with the concave metal plate.. its called a tact switch and its been used in many digital electronics..

And by the way, it will not wear out that easily.. you can google about it if your in doubt..
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
I took mine back to the HTC service centre here in Singapore and they said that yes it was defective and then replaced it (took 48 hours and they even couriered it back to me at work)

Certainly seems to be a known hardware issue.
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
That's why HTC replaced the "upper board" in my Sensation.... B/c it's software... Not.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Can it be a mix of both?
[HTC Sensation] Basil3:
Well I don't have a problem with the power button on any sense based ROMs, only AOSP/CM7/MIUI ROMs so I don't need to pull my phone apart to tell me its software based (at least in my case)
[HTC Sensation] UNDFTD:
Same, I don't have any problems with my power button either :)
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Update: I just flashed the new 1.11.25 MIUI build and the issue isn't present in this rom either :) Btw, this thing is smoooth.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Well, this person already prove it was hardware problem by sending to htc. How about the person that claim it was due to software problem? Have you send to htc & did they claim & agree it was ota 2.3.4 bugs?
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
My phone had no issues before the update where the screenshot feature was enabled. The button started misbehaving immediately after the update. That's all I have to say, but to everyone else who would like to have their own opinion about it. Well to each its own. It's your device your money .. fiddle as you please.

[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
Hey mumos, the thing is I expected to see a tact switch design with everything built in place, not just a piece of the switch lying on top of the contact point, when putting the "button" back in place, I also noticed that if its even slightly misaligned (it's not even sitting in a hole or anything, it just lies ontop of it), button presses become messed up, this could be the cause of the problem for some users too. from normal usage, the switch might've simply moved a bit causing problem to the button prese sensitivity.

Anyone got an idea on the battery?

Lets see how battery performs against Affinity and RCMix!

Gonna give it a show last 3.5 rom was laggy as hell

you can see feedback in desire hd thread :)

no lag

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cafein:
do we need a swap partition on this rom ? Is it necessary ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mohammadsp:
no my friend

no need

or maybe there is something that I don't know about Desire Z? yes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cafein:
our devices has 512 mb ram (desire Z) but Desire HD has 700+ ram .Thats why ı am asking for swap partition :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Downloading for a try now. Coming from g lite. Is this rom able to be oc'd?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noneabove:
Quite frankly it would shock me GREATLY if it A wasnt already and B couldn't be more :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
Have been running it for almost half a day now. Not bad, definitely the best 3.5 rom for the DZ, dont really know about other devices. But sure it has been the smoothest for me.

But of course it still isnt perfect. It be nice if it could be even less laggy. But i havent even setup swap yet on this rom. Even with 500 facebook contacts syncing rom is still decent.

Battery life...I flashed this rom at around 6:00pm at 81%. now after moderate use like setting accounts, and 1 or 2 texts im at 44%. Its definately better than RCMIX.

But coming from Galnet MIUI, battery could still improve.

But I do realize this is Sense. Hopefully the PVT Team puts more work into this so it can be a great daily rom for all.

Thanks a lot team!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
I think the dz hboot helps with that. Pretty sure anyways.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Your hope is flawed. :)

DZ HBOOT is only intended for ROM partitions (to make it possible to install Sense ROMs), but not for RAM extension. We only have 512 Mb RAM on board and nothing we can do with that. SWAP is helpful, but decreases sdcard's life.

Unfortunately, HTC Desire Z/T-mobile G2 was built for earlier SENSE ROM - v.2, but surely not for Sense 3.0/3.5. It is developers' afford (thanks them all a lot) to make it possible that our device can run SENSE 3.0/3.5 due to some RAM tweaks + in some cases active SWAP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sebastianlow:
Does swap give more ram?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
Now that's how you do an OP. I'll probably give this a whirl as a change of pace here in the next few days. It certainly looks less absurdly garish than the latest mEDroId eyesore. Thanks for including all the helpful links for tweaking. It is much appreciated to have all the working modifications collected in one place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
If you're talking about mexdroid, that's kinda mean :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s09227:
It does give you 'real' ram but 'virtual' one. Which means for example, you kill apps and it shows the amount of ram left, after swap there will be no change in that amount but instead you can better "performance", so this is what I mean.

Sorry for the bad english, and I am not sure if I am rite.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sebastianlow:
So, it takes the 256mb swap on my sdcard and uses that space as "extra" ram, am I correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Psycho-Nemesis:
I had the same issue, reported it earlier but didn't get any responses, when I reflashed from 2.whatever i had to 3.0 it worked fine.

Although now to be honest the rom is slugish and I am finding very unbarable, I had it on 2.whatever really fast lots of free ram, now roughly 65 - 80 mbs of free ram and its just really sluggish. I am either gonna have to try reflashing again or just give up on this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vicente fernandez:
This update made my phone really slow! lags with every move!

I did do the full wipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mohammadsp:

however we are working on newer bases

one more thing

do not wipe manually

let the rom do it itself

Go to the end of the post and download "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC4.sh.pdf" and if you don't know I'm posting the instructions:

First install busybox installer by JRummy from the market. It has both free and pro versions. I use the free one but you can download the pro one if you want.

Now run it and install Busybox v1.18.2

Next place the downloaded file "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update9_RC4.sh.pdf" at the root of your sd card.

Now install "script manager" from market and run it. click browse as root and you'll a screen something like this:

Now click the script and run as root. The screen you would see would be something like this:

Now run the script and follow the on screen instructions and you'll see something like this :

512hp settings are recommended since we have 368mb of available RAM. I personally prefer option 6 which is "balanced" as choosing option 5 which is "multitasking" freezes your phone when you play high end games since apps are not thrown out of memory when RAM is required which results in lag. So, unless you don't know what you are doing, just go for option 6.

Read whatever is coming on the screen and in the end "superclean and Reboot". If it doesn't appears on its own, choose option 30.

After reboot to check if the script is running or not, again run the script as instructed above. and if you see that the Prior V6 minfree values and current minfree values matches then the script is running fine.

The following screenshot may help you understand:

No more updates to this rom?

Ok the problem seems to be the permission.. infact if I reset my data and try to re-sync my facebook account, it appears a message saying: "HTC authorisation" and a windows appear.. but I can't aitorize HTC because the windows disappear immediately and than appear again (so it appears and disappear, appear and disappear.... Boring!)

Well the app works anyway,but if I try to put the widget, after a second the home restart.. and when I return to the widgets it says" user don't have permissions on Facebook for HTC" (or something similar)... :-)

3-ics theme -> boot (nice ics with status bar,wifi,batery,setting,was ics)

4-rc tweaks v2 -> boot (some ics theme gone,that is setting(mybe because rc tweaks need to be placed at setting),wifi and battery are htc icon,and fb cant be update(resolved by uninstall using TB and install with market)

5-TP wake beat v3.0

Done...

Boot smoothly with v6 supercharger and 256mb swap script. :D

But why some ics icon like battery and wifi gone?
