This has been requested a 100 times in this thread. If you had searched the thread, you would have known what the dev has said about CRT animation. Because of your incompetence, you have been added to my ignore list.

Congratulations, you have also been added to my ignore list.
[HTC Sensation] CactusProtist:
I really don't think they care that much about your ignore list, bro.

I install this rom this morning.. so far I haven't seen anything wrong with rom ....I like it very much
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Ok this issue has bugged me quite a number of times. Whenever there are notifications while I'm playing music with Poweramp, the music stops and the notification plays, then the music cuts back in. Anyway to ensure that the music doesn't stop and the notification sound is interleaved? My old Cyanogen-ed HTC Hero was able to do that. I've played around with Poweramp's settings to no avail.
[HTC Sensation] GoreTan:
just want to say thanks for this amazing ROM rmk40!

super smooth, sexy, stable, just pure awesome.... :)
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Put your notifications on vibrate and when you get a message while music is playing the phone should just vibrate and the music won't get cut off.
[HTC Sensation] ameilius:
my only issues seem to be with tmo wifi calling

if my phone was asleep, and i got a call when wifi calling was active, i couldnt answer the phone - it was like the mic and speaker didnt activate - then i tried some update apk, and now it doesnt work at all lol

so im just waiting to see that 3/22/12 change ;P - i check daily
[HTC Sensation] :
I switched from v4.0.1 to v4.0.2 to get the com.android.phone crash fix.

On v4.0.1 my WiFi was working ok but now it's broken again :(

It just says its turning on but nothing happens, does anybody have any ideas?

I've noticed I now have a different kernel
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
Thats a hassle compared to how easy it was on cm.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I guess I'm already on it since I didn't get quoted! Woohoo, my life is now complete! :D
[HTC Sensation] JonnyZaggi:
I Had The same Problem ans couldnt fix it. I switched to aokp
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Did you do a full wipe or just upgrade?

If you upgraded, I suggest try using ARHD super wipe script and flash the full ROM. Make sure MD5 hash is correct too. :)
[HTC Sensation] jaZzyjeff818:
I've heard so many people talk about how great battery life is but why do I feel like mine is crappy? I'm even using an Anker battery and I barely get 5-7 hours, if that, with only about 1.5-2 hours of actual screen on time..
[HTC Sensation] eilu1183:
Tried it, no dice. Still won't move to USB. I guess I can live with it.

Have you tried wiping the battery stats?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
There's no point since they wipe themselves each time you charge it up again. Try using an app called betterbatterystats to see what's wasting your battery.
[HTC Sensation] H3llblax:
What does wiping battery stats mean?.. does it mean to charge to 90%+ so that it gets caliberated and shows a new battery graph?

Low battery for me.. 2 hours of screen on at max.. and is that app on the market which u are talking abt staurtthefish?..

Also sry to repost but how to send a group msg from a group i have already made in contacts?

You cant send it from the groups from contacts(no option of new msg there) nor u can add a group by typing group name in messages .. is there someother way or u just cant send in this version?
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
That is very crappy battery life, I get two days use with 7hrs screen on time from my Anker.

I'm using Socali's patched kernel to achieve this, but I don't think this will help you much. I would guess you have either very poor signal or a rogue app draining your battery.
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
are you have 24/7 data connection on your phone.... data is taking alot of battery juice... you must live near your charger all the time is you are using data connection.. just use wifi, not eat alot of your battery juice...
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Try faux's 004 kernel.

EDIT: Or the newest 005. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2527-sen...idemandpower-savingapr-22/page__fromsearch__1
[HTC Sensation] gbakabg:
this is what i got so far with my battery
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
I notice 57% on screen. You on max screen brightness? I notice much faster drain with full brightness rather than half brightness.
[HTC Sensation] gbakabg:
i notice that too..but i always keep it on auto brightness... i have no idea why its a 57%
[HTC Sensation] jaZzyjeff818:
But when I was using CM9 I was getting great battery life. What kernels do you recommend?
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Try setting it to half-brightness...it's on auto but maybe auto is keeping it max brightness majority of the time.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
The kernel is not your problem, unless you have both cores running at 1.8 all the time - you have a bigger problem.
[HTC Sensation] gbakabg:
im gonna try that and see what happens...:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Jay2487:
Wifi has been working fine, but as of last night won't hold a connection. Like I'm trying to download files, but it partially downloads and loses connection, cancels the download, then connection comes back. Anyone else experience this? Have a solution?
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Cool, hope it works out for you :cool:
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
I've also wondered about this behavior. I believe the term is audio focus, but I'm not positive. In any case, I've noticed that notification sounds break through a lot of apps, but not every single one.

For example, FM Radio fades out completely whenever any sound is played-- including screen lock sounds and, worse, keyboard sounds if they are enabled.

But other apps like TuneIn Radio handle everything just fine.

Is there some sort of ROM-related root for the cases where notification and system sounds silence all media sounds? Is there any way we could change this behavior? Or is it all app-dependent?
[HTC Sensation] :
The Virtuous dev said an upgrade was ok so that's all I did.

Guess I could try a full wipe but I get tired of setting my phone up from scratch on a weekly basis!
[HTC Sensation] swish2125:
Maybe this is a noob question but I was wondering if it is worth it to move the applications to the memory card...does it make anything faster?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Is there any way to force wcdma only on this ROM? I want to stop it dropping onto 2g but can't find the option on virtuous. I know it used to be there on sense.
[HTC Sensation] KRHairston:
Downloaded 4.0.2 last night......with this upgrade I have not had any freezes at all. Prior to this I had to reset my phone 3 times yesterday. One of the biggest games that would freeze was Temple Run, played it around 30-45 minutes total without a problem. Seems to running a lot smoother also.

Before updating to 4.0.2 I just wiped the cache & davlik and wiped battery stats. That was it.

Great update because I was getting very frustrated with the freezes having to reset at least twice a day.....was on my way back to Sense....Wheeeew!!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
No, not faster. Only benefit to moving apps is space, but that isn't a problem I've found with 600mb free and over 50 apps installed.

Apps moved to SD stop working if the card is removed and some apps won't move - don't bother unless you run out of space.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I just read the changelog for 4.0.2, and it reckons zram isn't recommended and it's been disabled. Sorry if someone's already said and I've missed it, but why exactly is zram bad? Or is it just the way it was implemented on this ROM that was the problem? Zram wasn't enabled by default for me, but I've enabled it via a script and experienced no problems with memory.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
You can change it by dialing *#*#4636#*#* which will take you to phone settings...
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
+1 I too am wondering about this as I use ZRAM on Bricked kernel.

Also, moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jutt69:
It is always better to wipe. With the right apps and backup methods setting up should only take a few minutes.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Thanks, I forgot all about that! Is there any way to make it stick on reboot though?
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Upgrades work... sometimes. There are a lot of things that can affect the upgrade path though. Sometimes it works flawlessly, other times not.

I've always done a full wipe before installing any ROM and when a new version of that ROM is released, it's a full wipe again.

Using Titanium Backup you can do a batch backup and restore of apps.

Most launchers (I use Nova) come with built-in backup facilities as well so you don't lose your app and widget positions or the launcher settings in general.

SMS Backup & Restore and backup and restore SMS.

Once you've got a good process in place, doing a full wipe, clean install of the ROM and a restore of apps and launcher settings is a breeze and it eliminates the issues that often come from upgrading.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Well, being the people who make the changes to the ROM, we know whether the changes require a wipe take effect. Quite honestly, there are a lot of people (and devs) who require wipes out of concern for voodoo magic, when in reality it's completely deterministic so long as you are tracking your work and understand the inner workings. Virtuous ROMs are managed in revision control and we know exactly when settings are written to various DBs.

In short, it's not magic, we can state conclusively whether a wipe makes a difference or not for a given issue. When we say no wipe required, we know it will make no difference if you do or not.
[HTC Sensation] jaZzyjeff818:
I haven't messed with the CPU, I like to keep it at 1.2ghz just like it came on the Sensation
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Searched the thread and couldn't find an answer...so here goes. I left my house earlier and turned WiFi off...upon turning WiFi off I noticed that I wasn't connecting to data and my signal bars stayed grey to signify I wasn't syncing with Google. After 2 reboots the issue remains. I also can't make phone calls when I attempt to I get an error saying, "Not registered on network." I have also tried to go to Network Operators but it also just hangs at searching. This happened all of the sudden out of nowhere...been using this ROM for almost a week problem free up until this. Anyone experience this? Any ideas to fix it? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] swish2125:
That happened to me once and I later found out my data transfer had got disabled, go to settings then mobile networks and make sure your data is enabled. See if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Yes my data is enabled I checked this as well.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
I'm not having a go at your work or even questioning it - we all know it's excellent. But for some reason, that no one can foresee or predict, upgrades tend to produce issues - not just with VI but with any ROM.

Whether it's something the users themselves have customised that interfere with the upgrade or otherwise is irrelevant. My point is that by doing a full wipe and clean install of the ROM you eliminate, or at least give yourself a much better chance or eliminating, issues.

Loving VTS by the way. :D
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
Im still on 4.0.1 and im suddenly having a couple problems, like no vibrating when i turn the phone on and ringtones being changed back to htc ones
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
It amazes me that a significant number of users on XDA with the title "Recognised Developer" are blatantly people who take other ROMs and just use Notepad and Winzip to "make their own".

It's a pleasant change that talented people such as Virtuous Team, socali, Vorbeth (in the OpenSensation thread) and others are actually proper developers, and I think that makes a world of difference to the quality of their work.

Anyway, I digress...
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
I'm actually testing 4.0.2 (B1) out of sheer curiosity. I had quite a few issues with 4.0.1, but I'm happy to say that this update is a massive improvement thus far, with stabilty, battery performance, and Smoothness.

Bravo to the Team, it's looking good.

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks for this, I feel reassured :p

So....the fact that my WiFi stopped working between 4.0.1 and the 4.0.2 beta, is that more likely down to kernel issue as I'm not fully S-OFF?

I notice that now I'm on a Sebastian kernel and when I was on 4.0.1 I had 3.0.16-ga462f5f htc-kernel@u18000-build-144#1 (and my WiFi worked) ??
[HTC Sensation] Kezzainc:
Guys ive had a problem for a few weeks now and thought the new Beta may of fixed it.

My phone crashes... and crashes a lot. I've reinstalled everything firmware up and not new to this game. It is because it thinks the battery is flat - like 0 no shutdown screen nothing. Even in the first few secs of the phone turning on at times it shuts off. If I remove the batt for a min it will start and say it has juice in it and sometime good for an hour.... I have tried 3 battery's now so not that. Quick 5min charge holds me for a while crash free.

My question, has anyone else had this because when i installed the new rom it was stable for a few battery cycles ... I was a happy man as shows not hardware etc but only the rom has changed. Now its a crashing mess again. I read the rom has a batt script but thought that was on first boot ? Im over resetting batt stats....

Can anyone help me or show me some light cos im stuck. lol
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
I'd guess you either have a corrupt driver/system/kernel file or a hardware fault.

To remove the possibility of hardware, try returning the phone to fully stock - which you'll have to do anyhow for a warranty repair - see if the shutdowns still occur. If they don't then flash the firmware, ROM then kernel in succession, testing at each stage if the problem occurs.

I have read of some units that won't work with the latest firmware, reverting to the previous version cured it.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
So is it actually crashing, or simply shutting off randomly as if the battery was pulled? If it's shutting down, mine does the same, and has done ever since moving to ics. Apparently it can even happen on the stock ROM, but I've not gone back to try since I cba.

It's not a ROM issue because I've tried others and the issue remains on any of them. I suspected the battery at fault but I've tried three now and made no difference. It's not a loose connection otherwise I would struggle to turn the phone back on, but to me it does seem power related since as soon as I plug the charger back in it stops happening. Rather frustrating, and seems to happen more frequently the lower the battery level is.

Someone suggested it's to do with it changing from 2g to 3g, so to try forcing wcdma only so it never drops onto 2g. With this ROM, you have to dial *#*#4636#*#* to be able to change it. Time will tell if it works for me, I only set it last night so we'll see if I keep having the issue. It's not ideal though and I would like a definitive answer and fix if possible. But like I say it isn't the ROM, it's not the kernel since I've tried others, and I've also changed the firmware and radio a couple of times too. It's a mystery to me.
[HTC Sensation] :
update:

:confused: I flashed a stock ICS kernel but despite saying it was successful it didn't work and I still have sebastian kernel...why?
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Which recovery and version are you using?
[HTC Sensation] :
CWM 5.0.2.0

I've flashed a bunch of other stuff ok with it.

If there's any logfiles on my phone I can post up please tell me where to find them if it helps...

my backup plan is to restore a nandroid of v4.0.1 that had WiFi working (after I manually flashed boot.img), then flash Socali's com.android.phone patch. That at least gets me working again even though I'm missing out on v4.0.2.beta1
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
For what it's worth, I've been using 4EXT Touch Recovery for the past few months. I've seen what you're describing on both recoveries, though, where something flashes "successfully" but isn't really applied.

After you flash something, stay in recovery and take a look at the various logs in /tmp via adb. If you see anything interesting, drop them in pastebin and we'll take a look.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Rmk, why do you say zram isn't recommended?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Beta is working great & it's faster so far! Only wiped cache & dalvic & fixed permission's. Really like sebastions kernel & nova launcher in this rom! Nice work to all the chefs in the kitchen!
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
Anyone else have to restart their phone to get the phonecto be "fully charged"?
[HTC Sensation] uberberben:
Hello there, i have one question. Is there any way to get log of something that happened just before phone crash? Logcat provides logs starting from system boot.

I'm asking that because my phone is getting weird restarts when trying to wake it up with power button. I tried Bricked's and SebastianFM's kernels and they both acts the same. It happens rarely, but it's pretty annoying. I did not undervolt etc.

Here's what exactly happens:

1. Phone is sleeping, screen off, nothings working in the background (ex. music etc)

2. I try to turn screen on, nothing happens, after ~2-3 seconds phone gets restarted.

I think before restart you can see that phone got waken up, but backlight is off. Can't reproduce that right now, cause it happens randomly. Happened like 5-6 times for me. It's weird because it can happen 2-3 times within 5 minutes and after that there's a few days without any issue.

Has anybody else had simmilar problems?

This happened on VI 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 beta, testing InsertCoin now, but it's to early to judge. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Sounds to me like it's not randomly rebooting, but simply turning off instead. Then when you press the power button to unlock it, it's actually just turning the handset back on. See my post about it a bit higher up this page.
[HTC Sensation] uberberben:
I think it might be restarting, when I hit power button fast enough I can prevent this from happening (lock it again before it restarts itself). Then I can unlock it without any issue.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Using 4.0.2 beta, the speaker phone wouldn't work while plugged into power. I kept pressing the speaker button but it didn't use the speaker. But the button showed it was switching on and off.

Sent from my... phone.
[HTC Sensation] socali:
Sorry for the late reply for these.. I was out sick for the past few days..

SP4 is for VI 4.0.1 only. The VI 4.0.2beta1 already includes SP4 fixes.

Quadlock v3.5 can be used with VI 4.0.2b1, although you might want to wait till this coming weekend, as I'm going to fix a bug in the install script.

---

I've noticed that delay for a while now, but was blaming my car's bluetooth system which I believe used to do that with other phones as well. I'll put that on my to-do list but cannot guarantee anything.

---

My quadlock v3.5 lets you choose enable/disable at flash time, but better wait for the new version.

---

The only WiFi related changes in VI 4.0.2b1 could be in the kernel itself, none of the rom fixes were in the WiFi area.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Version 4.0.2 has been released. Fixes many of the nagging issues with 4.0.x. Enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] kayosinc:
yeah same problem here, been running the from for 1n1/2 month, very good. the problem just cropped up one day, doesn't go away by cache wipe, or re installation. at last had to filly wipe the device, reinstall, ran for a day , still. device is clean as I was not free enough to reinstall titanium backup, the only things I did was Google account and mail, after one day the problem is still there.seems there is a file in mmc which is creating the problem.
[HTC Sensation] tegezan:
Glad You not leave us... :)
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Thank you very much to all that contributed to this release. :)

I'll wait for a few others to try this though before I go playing with it. My phone is running too damn sweet to go messing with things at the moment so I'll base my decision to update (and by update I mean a full wipe and fresh install of ROM) on user feedback. :D
[HTC Sensation] sid0101:
Radio for NYC

Currently I am using 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. And while I get great speeds when I am connected fo 4g there are plenty of times I drop out of 4g range. In particular, I'm in NYC and if I'm in lower manhattan the signal isn't that great as I would imagine. Especially at the PATH train site in lower manhattan. What radio are you guys using with this rom and are you yielding good results? Mine would be okay at best, but when it drops to edge it destroyed my battery.
[HTC Sensation] remizik:
3 Sensations here at work with 4.0.1 and we can't use USB modem or Wifi Tethering.

Let's flash 4.0.2 and see, be right back ! :D
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
I'm using the radio that came in firmware 3.32, works great for 4g (H) here in the middle of rural Dorset, UK - if that's any help to you.. If I loose line of sight to cell towers then 3g is adequate, pretty much what I've experienced on all my other phones to date.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Wifi tethering working fine here on my 4.0.1 installation, once I'd got over the adhoc and infrastructure issues to allow a gingerbread tablet to connect.
[HTC Sensation] remizik:
it might be a combo of our provider + VI4.0.1.

but for my other collegues with Desire(MIUI) and Sensation(StockRom), tethering is ok. (Same provider)

I installed 4.0.2 b1.

Is there a need to reflash final 4.0.2 over this?
[HTC Sensation] remizik:
4.0.2 installed on two Sensations,

still no working Tethering (usb or wifi)

we're in France, "SFR" Provider (vodafone)

(same APN than our collegue with stockrom, which is working)

we do have IP resolution though ! but no ping to www.google.fr for example, and no web browsing (obviously..)

:(

edit : same issue with ARHD ... might not be the rom afterall ^^'
[HTC Sensation] :
Full wipe/reset then flashed v4.0.1 - Got my wifi back :)

Flashed v4.0.2 - wifi gone again :(

Restored v4.0.1 nandroid backup - Got my wifi back :)

Contemplating full wipe/reset and flashing v4.0.2...

[HTC Sensation] androholic:
I've been on virtuous for a couple months now, & I've been experiencing occasional freezes & resets. I've been looking through the thread for possible answers & I've found that there were ram problems amongst a few other fixes that can be flashed. I'm wondering if now that I've updated from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 do I need to flash any patches/fixes? I like the feel of the rom very much, but these bugs are something I need to get corrected.

Thank you to any & all who can advise.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Full wipe. I'd almost be willing to bet it will fix your wifi issues. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

I didn't see it in the changelog but was SuperSU included in 4.0.2?

I thought I seen rmk post on Twitter a while ago that it may be included... or maybe it was mike that said he would include in ARHD. I can't remember now. :confused:
