Thats quiet a difference!

I wish there was a good uk radio like this... anyone know one??
[HTC Sensation] dLeTe:
Does it affect battery?

Are there any negative effects to the battery? Currently on Virtuous 4.0 with recommended firmware and radio. My battery life has been crazy bad to say the least. Calibrated full charge to full drain 3 times now. Fully charged, left overnight, 7 hours later it had only gone down 2%. But an hour after my alarm goes off it dropped down to 72%. A few hours later and it's down under 30%. At which point it stabalizes for a good few hours. So overall i get 12+ hours. And it might just be how it's being read that I'm getting those large drops. But I'm looking to flash the tmous radio and hope it won't have an adverse effect on my already poor battery life.
[HTC Sensation] zeroprobe:
Thanks for this spectacular rom.

no offence but how is this not more popular than Android Revolution? Sense ruins ICS.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
and yet there are hundreds of "HTC's" fake skins in the market and even Sense gets ported to Galaxy phones/Nexus.

Sense aint that bad, now with ics it aint laggy for me at all. Always been running AOSP so Sense is quite ok for a while i guess.
[HTC Sensation] iJchen:
I got a Sensation JUST FOR Sense.

The only reason why I'm running AOSP right now is because vanilla ICS looks better than Sense 3.6. However, at the time of purchase, vanilla Gingerbread looked like crap compared to Sense 3.0.
[HTC Sensation] snguyen0730:
My battery would be at 33 and when I reboot. It'll show at like 55. Help?
[HTC Sensation] Chronzy:
I tried the radio from Mike's thread that everyone's raving about and got nothing but a steady E. Reflashed 3.32 unlocked FW and i'm back to 3g/H. :rolleyes:

That's pretty much it. Sense makes things look pretty, which people like, but doesn't add what I would call anything great in terms of functionality, especially when compared to ICS.

I don't not like Sense - I've always purchased HTC phones and always used Sense ROMs. The Virtuous Inquisition ROM is the first non-Sense ROM I've used and that's basically because ICS looks great in its stock form and Sense doesn't give me anything ICS doesn't.

At the end of the day it's a personal preference and the majority pick pretty colours and graphics over simplicity when it comes to a GUI.

Total Buzz Kill.....!

Been rocking along with VI for a while now... and I just now am experiencing a serious issue...

process com.android.phone has stopped

then I hit ok.... and guess what?.... it comes right back... over, and over, and over, and over
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Issue has been discussed a multitude of times. Try searching the thread.
[HTC Sensation] wmurphy1975:
Yeah that's happened to me before. Make sure you've updated to the latest firmware and the latest version of VI. After doing that the problem went away for me.
[HTC Sensation] christolew:
Just re installed and started fresh... oh well
[HTC Sensation] wmurphy1975:
Sorry for the noob question but how do you do a "three finger salute" on Android?
[HTC Sensation] christolew:

[HTC Sensation] rgawenda:
It's device dependent. In Sensation you must press the three physical buttons at once for some seconds. Yes, up & down volume together.
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
Hold down the power button and both volume buttons simultaneously for a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Same here. Approx 2mbps more than usual.
[HTC Sensation] exxpired:

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
It's been addressed many times. You can first try clearing the data from menue-settings-manage apps-all-downloads...and clear the data. And if that didn't work, incidentally didn't for me after attempting to use a quadlock. If you flashed a mod, you may have broken the framework on the dialer. Reflash the rom with a dalvik and cache wipe and flash over your existing rom.

Or revert to your nandroid and start over. Did you come from a previous build and did you do a wipe with a script and then flash the rom?
[HTC Sensation] Alex530:
Mine just happens out of the blue. The messaging thing does get annoying.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I'm having this exact same problem. Can't figure it out. I'm going to try doing as many.drains and recharges to full as I can, since I haven't been fully draining it lately. Because its weird that other people are getting crazy good battery life and we're not.

Are you using a car charger? I get poor battery life if i use my car charger. After a full drain and charge with wall charger my great battery life comes back.

I was hoping that the new HTC base would fix the poor battery driver, but no. The symptoms you describe are only slightly unusual, I use the percentage left only as a rough guide. I know I will get about six hours screen on, so I always compare screen use details against percentage remaining to get a better idea of what's left.

To the guy who'd percentage increased after a reboot - that is entirely normal on the sensation, don't worry as it will drop back to the previous reading within an hour.
[HTC Sensation] Ankhwatcher:
Thank you so much for posting this! It worked!

By the way, here is the LogCat output for when my com.android.phone process was restarting over and over.

That output cycled continuously.
[HTC Sensation] MisterRio:
Same here. Also, phone crashes/turns off/reboots A LOT since the latest update. This is getting really annoying.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
I can definitely report that my android.phone.com crashes were related to the installation of beats mod!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I am having no reboots that some report here. Did you come from a previous build? A different rom all together? Both these scenarios require the updated firmware and complete wipe with a script then flash the rom.

Mine has been perfect with G23's repack where he has the 1.2mhz kernel bundled. No slowdowns to report in both stock and dolphin hd browser.

I do need to free up my memory from time to time. I get 100+ memory free after I browse, open a few apps like tweetcaster and such. Not too sure if it's the third party launcher (TSF shell) or not.

And I for speed reports on day 2 from Mike's thread and recommended tmous radio:

First tests (about 3 speedtests) was a 4-5 mbps at full 4g/H bars at d/l.
[HTC Sensation] asesino:
Hi,First of all thank you for putting this great ROM together,the only issue that im facing is that my phone will not connect to wifi.If theres a fix for this and you or any other member can point me in the right direction I will appreciate it.

But 4EXT Recovery Touch will not notify you of Virtuous (Inquisition) updates, will it? This is what I'm looking for: a way to be notified of updates (and if possible, install them directly via the tool instead of downloading it manually and installing it with Rom Manager/4Ext Recovery Touch)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
No it will not. You need to either go to the Virtuousrom site or this thread to keep updated. There is no "automated" way at this point.
[HTC Sensation] zero324:
The only issues i've had since doing a clean install of G23's repack is random reboots when streaming any type of bluetooth audio. It use to be specific to streaming Pandora and would do it after playing 3-4 songs. Now it will randomly reboot no matter what music program I use. I've even tried doing another superwipe and reflash but with no luck.

I also get lockups when music is playing while using navigation and I receive a call or attempt to make a call. I use to never have that issue before.

As far as reception mine has been full 4g/H bars and 4-7 mbps d/l .
[HTC Sensation] asesino:
Yup,tried that wifix.apk and still no go.

Edit:Already found out what the problem was.My CPU needs to be clocked under 1.5 in order for WIFI to work.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I hate to say it, but maybe the SD card is going? Have you reformatted the SD card yet? Or try another to test out the random reboots?

I use A2DP to and from work pretty much everyday since the rom's inception and had not ill effects to report. The only issue I would see that affect bt would be the custom kernels people have been using. I have using the bundled kernel from the start.
[HTC Sensation] zero324:
I acutally thought the same thing and bought a new class 10 16gb sd card right when 4.0.0 came out and I made sure to format it then. I may try reformatting the sd card tonight and see how it does tomorrow. I'm almost starting to wonder if it could be the phone itself.

[HTC Sensation] VonFalkenhausen:
I flashed the T-Mo radio from the ARHD thread, and I can say that it is definitely not slower. I can't really quantify an improvement, but the seat of the pants feeling is that it is faster. I got consistantly good speeds as high as 7+mbps while driving to work this morning, and in some quick and dirty testing at home before and after flashing, it was faster. Wireless speeds are too inconsistant in general to be banked on without extensive testing, but I am feeling pretty good about flashing it.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Nova works great for me. I tried Apex but it really didn't offer me anything more or less so I went back to Nova, which I paid for anyway.

[HTC Sensation] mitchello:
Finally got this working this morning, haven't used it too much yet but it's bloody smooth so far! Chrome browser on it absolutely flies.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I don't, because for me everything is running faultless as it is, installed over 3.5.0 with no wipe, using one of SebastianFM's older ics kernels, 1.7GHz, undervolted, gpu 320MHz overclock, with no issues whatsoever. I'm also getting a full day at least per charge with moderate use, and I'm still using the standard battery.

Any little issues I've had have been fixed already by various mods put on this thread by others or me changing for older versions of some apps. At the end of the day this is a phone, so I still need it to function as one at any time. I use this as a daily, and simply don't have the time to flash newer ROMs on a daily basis. I can't stand it when devs release a new ROM straight after you've only just finished setting everything back up.

The only things I want now is CRT animations and maybe the amaze camera and that'll do for me. The only slight issues left in my case are the touchscreen swapping issue which is on every ics ROM currently available for the sensation, which can't be sorted anyway unless a newer version is released from google/HTC, and the market not listing absolutely every game my phone can do. And I'm in no real rush for these to be resolved since I have my pc and console if I want to play decent games anyway.

This is a fantastic ROM, and don't see anywhere it needs any improvement to be honest other than the few minor things I'd like adding. Why make frequent new versions when there isn't much wrong with the existing one?

Rmk, I would say keep up the good work, but I don't honestly think you have much left to do! Other than adding CRT animations of course. :D
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
+1. This rom is amazing. There's not much room for updates. I mean what else do you want? It's super stable and don't know why it's not more popular than ARHD roms.

+2 Well I attribute the popularity of other roms like cars. Why do so many people buy Honda's and Toyotas? Where you can get great cars for not much more like VW's. Come on German engineering! :P Ok not such great examples but the point is that it's just hearsay and the popularity I think stems from just the volume of people using it.

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I rarely use my car charger, it isn't related to this issue (someone posted that as a cause for bad battery life), and battery life isn't really my issue anyway. I went for 15 hours today on battery with heavy use. Unplugged at around 6:30 AM, and then at around 11 AM or noon the phone locked up and I had to do a three finger salute and when it came back, I was at 7% (not really though). It said 7% until about 5 PM and then dropped to 5% and then slowly dropped down normally until it died at about 9:30 pm. I have battery graph screenshots if it would help. It literally looks like a stairstepped graph in places. In my question thread about it someone said maybe my battery is fried, but I doubt that. I didn't do a full wipe from 3.5 to 4.0 because it said I didn't need to but maybe I'll try that.

Got any widgets that are constantly in the background? Also, do you turn off your data/wifi while not using it? I know most phones battery life go poopy because they're constantly looking for a signal and in the area it is in it's hard to lock on.

Sounds like a battery issue honestly. If you haven't invested in an Anker 1900MAH battery I suggest you do so, it's much better than the htc made one, which is pure crap I hear.

Looking at the graph you posted in your other thread you have a problem I've never seen. Your mobile signal is awful, which may account for some of the battery drain, but the straight line average is terrible - even ignoring the huge steps in percentage.

I would try wiping the whole thing and flash the firmware again, next replace the battery.

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
You can't have been watching too closely since this thread is rather busy! And the ROM has not been ditched, there's just hardly anything left to fix so why bother releasing new versions for no reason? Also don't forget the developers lives don't revolve around us, so it's perfectly acceptable for them to take a break if they want to.

If you'd rather have a slower and less stable ROM with several pointless updates every day or so then I suggest you try insertcoin instead.

I can see your point, but your second paragraph is bang out of order.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Is love to hear your justification for your 2nd paragraph. In what way is insertcoin less stable because I've been running it with no issues other than those inherent in the base.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've tried insertcoin on and off ever since I was rooted, it was great on gingerbread, but the ics version was always unstable for me. Frequent reboots even on the stock kernel, sense constantly restarting due to poor memory allocation, the apparent inability to move any apps to SD without making the ROM unstable, benchmarks about half what I get on virtuous, etc, etc.

And nearly every day there's a new version available, so as soon as you do a fresh install and set everything back up you're already out of date. At one point a few weeks back there was three full ROM updates in one day. Not for me thanks, I'd rather use a ROM that simply works no matter what I try to use my phone for.

No your best bet is to use something like widgetlocker to add shortcuts. But if you like the quad lockscreen you can try that. But even the quad doesn't let you add shortcuts.

That line needs to be updated. No longer holds true for the VI ICS ROM.

i'm actually still experiencing quasi-random lockups in both the stock browser and chrome; running vinq 4.0.0 basically stock (except for the g23 repack), using system tuner pro to underclock back to 1.18ghz. i installed mike's radio from the ARHD thread (expecting no change to system hanging and receiving none, as expected) yesterday, but this has been occurring basically since i installed vinq4. i made very very very certain to wipe everything and flashed the rom clean. there doesn't really seem to be any rhyme nor reason, either; it'll happen on pages with or without flash content, with or without multiple tabs open, static text html or bloaty css ajax content. other than that (and the not-virtuous-teams'-fault multitouch issues), i truly adore this rom. :D

i couldn't imagine another update to this rom unless we get a finalized ICS with touchscreen kinks ironed out or TMO finally unleashes working UMS wifi calling ;)

I know, I've never had something like this happen before. I the only widgets I have are some music control widgets and Google Voice and Google Calendar. Only two that connect to the internet at all and they haven't caused any issues in the past. I'm going to try and wipe everything and see if that fixes it but if it doesn't I'll invest in that Anker battery. That'll give me some good life anyhow. And yes, normally I turn off data and sync while I'm at school because there's horrible signal there (and I'm there for 6.5 hours, that's why you see such awful signal in the graph), but I left it on yesterday to try to get the phone to completely die so I could do a full cycle. It still lasted 15 or so hours. I'll see how it fares today.
