You're right... they have nothing in common.

Pay attention to his question vs. his statement. He asked about flashing ROM's not about achieving 3G speeds. Like I already mentioned, settings w/in the ROM itself can lend to lower data speeds.

Now... let's talk about marketing and data plans. T-Mobile cannot legally market "up to 3G speeds" and cap users at 118Kbps. Those are EDGE, or 2.5G, speeds. 3G speed is UMTS.

You also cannot assume that it's the OP's data plan that was the problem, as he didn't state internet speeds were an issue before getting this device. Given that he's now complaining of this, it means that he most likely didn't have this problem before and can therefore see a difference in performance.

you're welcome.
[HD2 General] xterminater07:
guys guys :\ I didn't want this to turn into an argument at all :( I have the $40 plan, yes the rom works fine... and I believe I am getting edge, and I don't think I have been over the "limit" since the lady said it's "unlimited" and in their service agreement no where it said it will be throttled after x amount! I am calling them now and complain.

Thanks to the guy to let me know that it has been throttled and getting his "tweaked" to true 3G speed. I will certainly bring it to them.... will let u guys know. I set up the apn ten different ways, with proxy address and without and none is working properly to 3G speed.
[HD2 General] xterminater07:
backlashid, can you show me what setting you use in your apn, and what rom are you using to get the full 3G speed? Please help us as well because I don't want to pay $40 and get only edge speed.
[HD2 General] anseio:
Have you matched your settings to these:

[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
I have prepared a PG58IMG.ZIP for those who are looking for the firmware package that was included in the 12/7/2011 T-Mobile US OTA update for the HTC Sensation 4G. I have successfully flashed the PG58IMG.ZIP with no issues running a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 10) and recovery. Power button issues appear to have been resolved, but due to their intermittent nature I cannot confirm 100%.

IMPORTANT: This does NOT flash a ROM and will NOT update your version number or any other settings you will be able to visually see. However, it DOES update your miscellaneous firmware partitions to the latest versions that were included in the OTA. These updates may be required to correct the power button or other miscellaneous issues with the touchscreen that people may be experiencing.

Please post your results or findings after flashing this package and whether or not your power button issues have been corrected. Also, please post other information about your phone setup - ROM, radio, kernel etc.

Release Notes for the OTA are as follows:

New Features
Software stability
Improved battery life

Improvements
Improvements to Trace dictionary
Screen unresponsiveness resolved
Device taking screen shots resolved
Lock screen shifted up resolved
Icon pixilation resolved
Improved Wi-Fi connection
Green lines on photo resolved

Additionally, the OTA firmware.zip includes the following:

boot.img

hboot_8x60_1.18.0000_20110802_signedbyaa.nb0

pg2fs_spcustom.img

rcdata.img

recovery.img

tp_PYD_CYP340F0C.img

My PG58IMG.ZIP has removed the hboot, boot.img, and recovery.img so you will be able to flash this on any ROM without reverting back to stock.

Flashing instructions:

1) Download the PG58IMG.ZIP from the link below

2) Place PG58IMG.ZIP on the root directory of SD Card

3) Reboot into Bootloader

4) Select Bootloader

5) A prompt will ask to initiate update

6) Confirm update

7) Press power button to reboot when prompted

[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
The file is 71 KB... are you sure this is the tmous 14mb update?

And how is it an upgrade since CM7 is 2.3.7 and this is 2.3.4?
[HTC Sensation] marcos600rr:
Did you loose root? Or its safe to flash it mate?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
It's not the entire OTA - just the firmware.zip included in the OTA. It's made into a bootloader flashable zip.

You will not lose root, it does not affect the ROM/Recovery/Hboot in any way.
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
The file is only 71 kb, maybe a bad upload?
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
should pretty much everyone install this?? It can only help right

And I don't think we should worry about the size because if it's just a change to firm wear it's probably just changing text values inside the software. is that right?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Nope, that is the entire file. It's just miscellaneous firmware that is installed on different partitions of the device.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
I'm going to wait till the file is actually 10mb which is the specific size for the radio
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
You realize this OTA didn't include a radio right?
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
I'll wait till football releases this

Thanks though
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Just flashed in hot boot file works fine Thanks
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
I thought the power button issue was kernel related.
[HTC Sensation] robertgibson:
Just flashed it and everything went fine, but phone says it is running software 1.45.531.1 not the newest 1.5
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I think some people are missing the point of this.

It's not the whole OTA. It's the firmware aka stuff that you would get from flashing an RUU or OTA, but can't get from simply flashing a ROM. There's a lengthy thread somewhere started by rmk40 explaining this. I'd link it, but can't search on the XDA app. Your software version will not change from flashing this.

Sdobron, thanks very much for extracting this for us.
[HTC Sensation] sir*mez:
It failed for me. The TP file said fail-pu. I didn't even see the rcdata being updated.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Did you supercid?

If you did just put back the T-mobile CID and your good to go
[HTC Sensation] robertgibson:
Well I did not super CID it said it worked, but did not show the updated software version. I tried to flash a second and third time but got errors each time.
[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:
Can i flash this if am running an E

XE ROM? Would it beneffit from it?

Thanks in advanced.

No super cid. Its still on tmo's id.

I have a (maybe) stupid question: this firmware is only for T-Mobile Sensation 4G?

I have a Sensation 3G with screen problem and I have read that this update can solve the problem but I'm afraid to SuperCID.

So, can I use the zip from the first post?

Thank you very much.

I definitely noticed better battery life stronger Wi-Fi and faster locking gps. Love this update.

[HTC Sensation] laferlec:
You must update the firmware after flashing 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2.

I had the same problem. My phone updated fine, then my wife's needed to update to 5.1 then flash the firmware update. I did need to superCID and now all works!

Excellent work Mike! Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] FuzeItUp:
I just got the update icon tonight and that prompted me to check and see if it was flashable. Flash went well and the power button problem seems to be gone! However, the system update icon still pops up. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? S -off rooted, stock rom, hboot 1.17. Thanks.

I am having an issue flashing this on my Sensation. Currently I have tried it on two of them... my friend's phone accepted it just fine, but this one gives me PU-Fail on the first section and passes the radio install.

I have restored to stock RUU, tried again with no dice... even tried to push install through my computer. Is this a bricked partition? or something I missed? I have superCID set as well... and have tried multiple downloads from different locations.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
^^ i think that's why i like my current sensation better. that update did seem to help quite a bit.
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
I just got this phone from my friend he has had it about a month is there any way to check if I already have three update or not before I flash??? Also while I'm here is this the update I need to use a ICS ROM???
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
is it rooted? if not, just check for an update. if yes, then ask your friend if he flashed it with the new stuff.
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
I rooted it and s-off yesterday also installed a custom gingerbread ROM my friend never did anything to the phone is brand new out if the box?? So I will do it I just want to know if I do this can I use the ICS ROM cause they all say you need the updated firmware I was wondering will this work?
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
this is not the right firmware for ics. you can flash this first, if you're still on a ginger bread rom, then start on the ics stuff. make sure you have a good understanding of what you're doing.
[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
Ok cool thanks yea I got a pretty good understanding I just always like to double check and ask questions before I do anything new out side of simply flashing a ROM will press thanks when I get to my PC
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
lol no worries.
[HTC Sensation] rustyxj6:
Well I took a gamble and bought a used Sensation off of Craiglist. The seller clearly stated that there was a problem with the unlock screen that it took a couple of tries to unlock it. It had few scratches on the battery cover but other then that it was in good shape and at a low price. I decided to buy cause I need smartphone to try out T-mobile's new $30 unlimited internet prepaid offer. I'm coming off of page plus using a Droid 2 and I'm familiar with Android and flashing.

So I tried it when we met and he was right that unlock screen took a few tries to unlock.

Once it was unlocked however it worked fine. So I figured and really hoped that it was a software issue. I asked the guy if he had flashed the phone and he said yea.

I tried doing away with the lock screen by using an app from the marketplace. However the screen will now freeze whenever I woke it up. It took a few pushes on the screen for it to respond.

I looked at the rom and it seemed pretty recent a senseomaniac rom with sensen 3.5. I was bummed because I figured that this rom should have taken care of the issue if it was hardware issue.

I looked online and found this thread on another thread that talked about a grounding issue with the back cover. I tried taking the cover off, grounding the pin on the phone to ground and the issue would not go away. I finally flashed this files to my phone and it works!

The screen problems that I was experiencing are gone. Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
hey.is there any way to intsall that T-Mous 14mb update without going back to stock recovery??? :S
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Delete the recovery image in the zip and you will keep your current recovery after flashing.
[HTC Sensation] CZroe:
OK, the OP doesn't tell me how to get into the bootloader and because this isn't my phone I had to look it up. IOW, the steps aren't explanatory enough. :)

Anyway, this should be a stock locked T-Mobile phone with Gingerbread. When I hold Vol - and Pwr from a powered off state it takes me to the bootloader menu. When the PG58IMG.ZIP file is on the root of the SD card, I see that it automatically says something quickly and disappears, leaving me back at the normal bootloader menu as if there were not even an SD card at all. By repeatedly picking FASTBOOT then BOOTLOADER to trigger the flash of info repeatedly, I managed to piece together that it is showing something like this:

SD Checking...

Loading...PG58DIAG.zip

No image

Loading...PG58DIAG.nbh

No image or wrong image!

Loading...

PG58IMG.zip

[New Screen]

Checking PG58IMG.zip

This is a stock Gingerbread ROM that hasn't been booted since sometime this summer when the owner shattered the glass and damaged the LCD, in case that helps determine how up-to-date the software might be. I just repaired those other issues and and noticed the terrible touchscreen responsiveness and hoped to fix that too, but I can't use the T-Mobile update considering that I have no SIM card (in owner's other phone for the last several months). :)

I'd like to have this taken care of before I return his phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Somehow got the OTA update over WiFi and the screen works great now. Thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
is the phone still s-on? you don't need the sim to get the official stock update. connect it via wi-fi and download/install it.
[HTC Sensation] CZroe:
Thanks. That's exactly what I did (see the edit). I don't even know what S-ON is but I imagine it has something to do with flashing ZIP files that are modified. As far as I know, it was completely stock and any kind of validation was still required. The instructions did not mention needing any kind of modified recovery or what to do if you needed to update on a stock ROM/recovery in the event that you had no OTA capability for no other reason than not having service. :) Yes, I discovered that it would update "OTA" through WiFi but that isn't the case with many other providers/devices. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
s-on is, like you said, a stock phone with all the security stuff still intact. we root our phones to gain s-off and the ability to flash different roms, radios, recoveries, firmwares, i.e. fun stuff :) glad it worked for you!
[HTC Sensation] PigProtist:
Just got this phone and would really prefer to not mess anything up and brick it, as I'm coming from a Samsung phone. Can I restore my phone back to 1.50.531.1 using the RUU and then flash this without a problem? Or does that RUU include this, as well? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
are you stock? if so, don't worry about this particular thread. update via t-mobile.
[HTC Sensation] PigProtist:
I'm not anymore, I'm on Reverted AOSP v1.1.0 now. Just wondering in case I were to say, flash ICS firmware and want to go back to stock.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
i believe this firmware was extracted from a ruu and made flashable for people with s-off. i think we have some threads that cover the going back to earlier gb ruus. never done it myself, so wouldn't know for sure :)
[HTC Sensation] dupsatou:
I can actually say that this firmware by itself does not go back after ICS. I flashed 3.32 and then an ICS ROM. I had previously been on 3.12 with GB ROMS because I needed wifi calling and I didn't have a good one to go back to other than 3.12. I think 3.12 was buggy so I wanted to try a true GB firmware and tried this.

So to summarize, flashed 3.32, booted ICS, reflashed this, restored backup, and got stuck in a bootloop. Found 1.17 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and flashed that and it fixed my bootloop issues.

Hope this helps somebody else looking to do something similar.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Both of these links are dead but is this considered old information and files anyway since the release is now 3.32.401.5 or do I need to apply this also in addition to the 3.32 FW.

Since I flashed this version I have lost any functionality with my capacitive backlights on the touchscreen below the main screen and also my proximity and light sensors.

I am looking for any answers anywhere I can get them because I have scoured the entire site and there are only problems reported by users and ZERO definite answers!

I NOW HAVE THIS:

Baseband Ver: Radio_11.68.3504.00P_11.21.3504.13_2

Build Number: 3.32.401.5.CL309896 release-keys

This is what was installed BEFORE (as in 10 mins ago):

Baseband Ver: Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M (For some reason the U on my phone is a P instead).

Build Number: 3.32.401.5.CL309896 release-keys

I am running the following ROM:

Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.6 ROMs ICS or GB ¯´·.¸¸. - March 15, 2012

PLEASE NOTE: All the sensors and capacitive lights are NOT working and have never worked with either versions that I installed above.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
blahbl4hblah: I was just curious and wanted to ask something since you are a TMOUS Sensation 4G user (and we are also both in L.A.) and more importantly that you are a recognized developer.

I got this phone and unlocked it, loaded FW 3.32 and installed an ICS ROM. Since I did this I lost all functionality of my Proximity Sensor, my Ambient Light Sensor, and my Capacitive backlights for the touchpad buttons under the LCD. I have elliminated the factor that it is a hardware problem because I found a few other threads that give some tips, but do not offer any real solutions.

I am really at the end of my rope here because it is NOT a hardware issue, and I have tried various FW's and ROMs and the problem remains the same. One thing I did do that brought them all back to life was when I fixed permissions in 4EXT Recovery. After I did that I booted into the ROM and they were fine. I rebooted just to see if the fix would stick, and it did not.

Do you have ANY tips or ideas on what this could be? I tried different ROMs and it is the same problem. Is it a FW problem?? Right now I have 3.32 and am using a ROM with a stock HTC Kernel and still nothing.

Do you have any advice you could give a semi noob on this? It seems that only me and a handful of other people are having this problem...I really really really am at my whits end here on this because I want my hardware fully functional :-(

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!
