Have a strange issue that I think may be kernel related...?

When I turn the screen on and unlock it, it appears to be very slow and laggy and jittery for about 10 seconds...then it goes back to normal and smooth.

I'm running the 1.8GHz kernel in InsertCoin. I use Super Tuner Pro to set clock speed. I've tried setting max to 1.8, 1.7 and lower, but it always seems to do it.

It only does it when the phone has been turned off for a while.

It never did this on the previous kernel base. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

EDIT: Went back to the old 1.5GHz OC/UV kernel and it's gone.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Flash isn't set back to 10%
[HTC Sensation] spdrosin:
No because with 1.11 modified kernel everything was ok, so I thought that something from 1.20 made things like this. Anyway. I 'll try it. ;)
[HTC Sensation] ozzy28:
Every single time when I flashed something new I had problems with GTA. Best solution is to copy save files, uninstall app and install it again. Works for me..

Woo hoo btw I havent been on XDA for few day and I'm in shock Oo so many updates from you sebastian and from baad xD
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Did you try with raising the min value, as you don't state what you have the min set to.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Just want to add something to what I said earlier about GTA III: It works on Sense 3.6. I think Sense 4 is the problem.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I understand that, but if it was because of my CPU not being able to handle it then why would the only problems I saw be software? I'd be getting it running hot, reboots, crashes, etc. Not just the inability to read the default ringtones folder.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
You don't notice it, but it's here, just sometimes your car goes crazy, or your character doesn't react as intended and you think it's the game.

Well, look at this, try it, you'll see that you have the multitouch bug, like everyone here;

http://youtu.be/30ogIc_Yib0
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
no I haven't notice that. Never go crazy and I know its not a game becouse I played game on desire s. But I haven't notice bug or its just to little
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
I noticed that the file transfer with this kernel is only 780kb/s - 1mb/s
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Did you check speed on stock kernel before you reported this issue?
[HTC Sensation] blessingme:
Thank you so much Sebastian! This is very amazing! KERNEL ICS only HTC Sensation 3.0.13 kernel with 1.5 GHz is a ROCKET!!!!

Wonderful!
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
I actually don´t remember. I have used so many roms and kernels now. But it is around 4,65mb/s in recovery mode.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
That's the point stock kernel is very slow transfer with phone switched on but ok from recovery
[HTC Sensation] foggydew88:
Does it support the 2-ways call recorder?

Slán.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
lol lol lol NO...
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Works

Works with "stock" RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.06.401.101_Radio_11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16_M_test_231336 as charm . Thank you mate
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
After loading this kernel, it seems that the screen won't shut off with the 2 minute timer. Only if I hit the power button or the screen off widget. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, it doesn't matter if I am plugged in or not.
[HTC Sensation] magic_man:
With this kernel the gpu seems to slowdown. Using nenamark I was getting scores in 43 fps range with stock kernel. With this kernel I am getting 32.7 fps, but all the other things seem faster.
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
Just want to say thanks for this fantastic ICS kernel! I'm running LeeDroid 5.0.1 ICS and while it wasn't slow persay, it was noticeably slower than Lee's last GB ROM. This kernel made things FLY! Battery life seems about the same, maybe even a little bit better after about 24 hours. I plan to let it settle for a few days before making a judgement but it's pretty good so far. Great work!!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Yes, it does. I'm on ARHD 5.0.2. I've recorded a few calls today, no problems.:)
[HTC Sensation] mrew42:
A couple of days away from XDA and look what happens :)

My jigsaw is now complete. Thanks Sebastian for the Kernel, my Sensation is as quick as ever it was with GB and is just simply so stable now :).

God I love this place :)

With the new Firmware (and new Radio), ARHD 5.0.1 and finally this Kernel I am in a very happy place.
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
Thanks Seb kernel is working very well.

Just a question could you provide a flashable zip with the stock kernel? Just in case it is needed.
[HTC Sensation] Levraimatt:
Very impressive. Yes a stock kernel would be good to have just in case...

I'm getting 6291. This thing goes like stink !
[HTC Sensation] petrosk73:
+1 for a stock kernel just in case! :)
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
Stock kernel flashable zip. Tested on InsertCoin 4.0.6 and working.

As usual be carefull and made a backup.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
Please users of this kernel try to run nenamark2 benchmark and tell if you could get more than 40 fps with it. thanks
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Um, no.

NAND, flash and test what is important to you.

This is a cooperative community, not a service.

P.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
You can. Playing on Insertcoin 4.0.6 with kernel@1.5Ghz and ondemand governor.

Not a service but if someone tests he/she can share their scores :)
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
OK I notice this bug on test just tryed, but in gta 3 I haven't notice.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I fail to see how that would cause problems, since it still knows where your fingers are at all times. Fair enough the order of presses is shown to change, but games don't look for which button was pressed first, it just looks for which ones are pressed. Your car or character would only "go crazy" if your presses were bouncing all over the screen. They aren't, they're always being registered in the correct places, and doesn't matter what order they're in.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Not true. If buttons swap, some games may think the button was released.

Also what I didn't show in my video is that after the bug occured, one, or both buttons, may remain sticky sometimes up to 2 or 3 seconds (but usually a second or about), so an action you want to stop may continue.

And you don't need to bounce all over the screen, tapping at the same place also makes the bug happen.

True GTA3 is not the game where you can see the bug at most, mainly because driving it crazy (who cares hitting a wall loool), and shooting + moving is a real mess too.

But try EVERY video game console emulator, or try a real racing game (without using the G-sensor of course) and you'll change your mind. Or simply watch the end of my video, what I show on F-Zero happens on 90% of racing games: the car stop accelerating AND steering until you release both fingers.

Wanna play a plateform game? Don't jump too often! Wanna play an First Person Shooting game? Running + tapping quickly to shoot fast will result in stop running, not shooting, continue ti run instead or taking left, etc

Nevermind, even if it's the only important bug of this great kernel, let's stop talking about it here, there's a thread for it.
[HTC Sensation] jasisoft:
yes, you're right. You can see this multitouch bug in market free game called Zombie Dash.... Still shooting and trying to jump is sometimes a nightmare....

sorry for OT...
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
does this have the gpu overclock?
[HTC Sensation] sly68:
Hi,

Which version rom have you ? Very nice benchmark results, everything work fine with this kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
No, they aren't being registered in the correct places. Try it for yourself before telling us how it is.

Also, I don't think this is kernel related. I've been using Sebastian's ICS kernels since they were available and about a month ago this bug was happening on and off for me. On the same version of Inquisition (3.0.0 I believe) the bug was not present at first then within days and after a reboot it came back...odd, but never changed the kernel once flashing Sebastians and had these back and forth results. The kernel used was for 3.24 based ROMS, if I'm not mistaken.
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
is there a way I can mod gpu frequency up to 320mhz?? I used to use the old sebastianfm kernel with gpu overclock and it worked great, anyway of getting this back?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Actually, except for a quick message from Baadnewz (saying it's kernel related), no dev said a single word about it, so all I can only guess that it's kernel related, since I had the exact same problem using CM9 ROM, that only have the kernel in common I think. (or does it have other ICS drivers in common???)

I may be wrong about the fact it's kernel related, I'm not a dev, but devs remained silent, I hope they could tell more about the origin of the bug, kernel or not kernel?????

All that is sure is that the culprit is HTC
[HTC Sensation] bigkris74:
I agree. Camera flash complained once battery went below around 50%.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I have already tried it smartarse, I wouldn't have said anything otherwise. Yes the order of the presses can switch, but the presses themselves don't shift about, they're always exactly where I actually press on the screen. It even shows the behaviour exactly as I describe on the video that's floating about. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Hey guys, anyone can provide me the HTC kernel (like those) but at 1,2Ghz for max ? thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Just pick a kernel, and then lower the clock speed with system tuner or setCPU if you want to restrict it to 1.2ghz.
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
Kernel 1782Mhz v 1.20 works flawless Sebastian :D, I only noticed one thing. The flash of the camera isn't set to 10% in version 1.20 ;)
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
i am using 1.5Ghz on Insertcoin and it works great man :D you did a brilliant job ;) keep up
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Currently not. I tried to modify GPU frequencies but phone was unstable after this. I must wait for the source code.

Sorry, I didn't check if it works properly in v1.20. I'll try to fix it.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
sebastian did you adjust bandwidth and l2 cache settings in kernel 1.2 yet ?
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Not yet, currently I'm working on the UV feature.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Im looking for the 1.2 kernel i dont want to use setCPU because it enables dual core all the time and system tunner dont work great after reboot or set always a core at max frequencies, anyone can hep me?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I can't say I've noticed those issues, but if you don't want to overclock just go for the 1.5GHz kernel. 1.5GHz is what the CPU was made to do, it was just underclocked to 1.2GHz by HTC as a marketing ploy to make the xe version look like a better handset when in fact they're technically identical.

If your only concern is battery life, like I say mine lasts a day at 1.7GHz.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
After many test i can say that no applications can set our cpu properly lol, btw we have a smaller battery than the XE for this reason :p but im looking for an Anker Battery :D
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Mine lasts roughly a day on the standard battery mate. I get a bit more with the anker, but mine appears to be causing my phone to turn off randomly. Not happening with the stock one and I'm still getting a day just about.

If you want to buy an anker battery, you can get them on amazon for about a tenner.
[HTC Sensation] DarthJonathan:
Guys will this work for firmware 1.35.707 ??? THX and sorry for noob question hehe
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Yeah and hell its not expensive at all :D

You think anker is a little bad quality because of reboots ?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Not sure mate, I don't know how many other people are having the same issue as I was. I'm going to stick with the standard one for a few more days, then put the anker back in and see if the issue returns. If it does, I'll return it since there's a 6 month warranty on it and I've only had it for half that.
[HTC Sensation] drakexpl:
1.20 seems stable as hell, waiting for next version which (I hope so) will include GPU overclock because on ICS I can't watch 1080p movies where on 1.50.401.1 1080p was liquid smooth. I don't know it's HTC base or android version related but for test I was on 1.50.401.1 for 2 hours now and 1080p samsung demo was brilliantly smooth, now I'm on stock 3.32 and it's laggy. :/
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
So if you watch the end of the video, you can see the direct consequence in a game: vehicle crashing into a wall because controls don't work anymore after a few quick press left/right

Sure, GTA3 is not the game where it's the most visible! But for maybe 90% of the games I've tried, buttons swap means controls stop working (and my Mario doesn't jump but keeps on running into the hole, my soldier stop shooting and runs straight into the enemy, etc :p)

Nevermind, some mails were sent to HTC, let's hope they give a better kernel so that SebastianFM can play with
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I'm not disputing it affecting the game, as I too can replicate the issue now I've seen it, I was merely answering back about me saying the presses aren't registered all over the place and that guy making out it hadn't tried. The presses don't bounce about, they simply switch order. That's what he quoted before saying I was talking ****, so that's what I was replying to.

One thing I've thought of though, is this only happening with the emulators, or does it also happen with proper android games? Just wondering if it's simply an incompatibility issue since the emulators haven't been tweaked for ics, only for gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] androholic:
I've been using the anker 1900 for about a week with no reboots. I'm on 3.32 firmware running virtuous 4.0, but I haven't messed with the clock speed, I've left it at the 1512 it comes as default when I flashed 4.0.

I'm considering flashing sebastanFM's 1.72 kernal, has anyone had any issues or does it cause a serious nose dive in battery life?

I thought when I flashed virtuous 4.0 I would be able to up the clock speed, but it tops out at the 1.5 speed. I don't think I necessarily need faster, but I like having things super powerful you know, LOL....
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
My battery was fine at first, but a few weeks later it started turning itself off. Tried different ROMs, kernels and firmware, and nothing sorted it. All that's left is the battery, hence why I'm back on my standard one at the moment to try proving it's at fault. Don't know how common an issue it is though.

As for the other kernels, battery life wasn't noticeably different on stock or overclocked kernels. There'll be a bit more drain of course, but not enough for me to notice.
[HTC Sensation] androholic:
Your probably the fourth person I've heard report this issue with the Anker 1900 for the Sensation, I found it on eBay on sale for 6.99 with a wall charger, so I purchased two figuring I couldn't go wrong at that price. I've also read very good reviews of it that did not report this issue. Perhaps there is an issue with some of them that has to do with not stopping the charge when the battery is full? The issue almost replicates symptoms of over charging that would happen in older battery technology? Just a guess???
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Not sure mate, all I know was the random shutdowns tended to happen most below 50%, and only plugging it into a charger seemed to stop it shutting down.
[HTC Sensation] jasisoft:
on 1,72GHz and cheap eBay Gold battery with 2450mAh written on it, my phone last for more than 2 days of normal usage. After one day and about 50 medium calls, few wifi downloads (around 10 MB) I still have got about 78 percent of battery....
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
You're right!

presses bouncing all over the place is a different bug, that affects the Galaxy Nexus, and that is supposed to be solved in Android 4.0.4

That's what makes me fear the worst for our Sensation, our bug must still be unknown by HTC.

It affects emulators since we play racing games, platform games, where the bug is really visible.

But it also affects native Android games, just many of these games don't really require to press fast enough, except for racing games mainly.

As for emulators, as I can talk about Fpse, no Fpse user repported such a bug with ICS and another device, I think it's really Sensation-specific
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Can you replicate the bug on fpse too though? If not, then like I say it could just be because the others like gensoid and snesoid haven't been tweaked for ics.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Yup, happening in fpse here.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've just tried and it's perfectly fine? I can replicate the issue on the 16 bit emulators though, so I think it's down to how they've been programmed to register presses.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
admittedly it isnt as bad as say, dead space, but i am getting frequent sticking of controls and times where if you are holding an arrow on the dpad presses on one of the face buttons won't register.

It's annoying because i would have thought i could leave this problem behind with my old desire!
[HTC Sensation] kdm06:
Hey folks, i am just looking for some advice on setup to balance battery and performance.

At the moment I have system tuner limit max to 1512max and 384 min screen on with interactive governor. Screen off is 384max and 192min with conservative governor. Does this sound about right as a setup for a daily driver? I am getting some battery drain... New Rom though. It might need a few cycles. Overall the kernal is great by the way. Thanks for the hard work. K
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
I would recommend giving ondemand a shot for your screen-on governor. If you do not notice any performance issues with it, you will get better battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Tungst5n:
Fantastic kernel. Using it with HyperNonsense. I'm curious about what you mentioned about SetCPU keeping the second core on. I've noticed that with system tuner, the second core is always offline. Will the activation of the second core have significant improvement??
[HTC Sensation] stanlyyy:
You have Set it to perfomance govener when u want it on all the time, but the Probleme is both cores will be running at Full Kernel or the Max speed u set and i hope u Know what that means.

I dont think both cores can Run for example at 382mhz GHz at the Same Time.

What would be use for that? only burning battery.

Corect me if im wrong.

[HTC Sensation] Tungst5n:
That goes beyond my knowledge, which is why I asked. I do see the point though
[HTC Sensation] stanlyyy:
What u can try is what the 2 guys over u have posted.

Im trying that too and it looks good so far Core One goes to the Max what i have Set when needed but Most of the Time or when im here typing it is at 192mhz and and only when the second Core is needed it activate itself.

[HTC Sensation] ObiWan_C:
Hi,

Where can I find a flashable

stock

3.0.16-gda3fdfc kernel?

I trying to figure out why the cifs module is not working.

I have the last v1.20 OC to 1.5Ghz, and I can't get it to work.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
You're right, it's better on Fpse than on 8-bit 16-bit emulators, in a race game, it seems to keep on accelerating, just some steering freeze, like if button swapping was not a problem for Fpse, but sticky press (that happens really less often) is here

Seems to be like in GTA3, when one of my native Android racing games suffers from buttons swapping (stop accelerating+steering freeze)

Weird, but you raised something interesting here: games react to the bug differently: some don't care - or not so much - of buttons swaping but have to face sticky press, some are really sensitive to buttons swapping

Thanks for investigating mate!
[HTC Sensation] mobilkungen78:
Hereś my bench at 1.56ghz with latest kernel and ARHD 6.5.0
[HTC Sensation] FordSierra88:
Hi Guys,

Run the Kernel too the RevoHD 6.3.1 XE ? :)

Thx
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
When will I be able to use the latest kernel without having the blue tint issue? I've had to keep going back to the 208 one thanks
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Is possible that the latest 1.2 kernel don't allow to use camera's flash under 30%? because on older version it worked but now seems not
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Possible silly question, and I can't find it searching (probably using wrong search terms) but does this kernel change the details listed in the build.prop? I change it to show the proper chipset but once running it just says '1.5 GHz dualcore'
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Not quite sure what you're asking.

Running 3.32.401.5 and this 1.5 kernel (v1.2) on my sensation i had to edit my build prop to display 1.5 Ghz dualcore instead of 1.2 Ghz if that's what you mean?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I edit my build.prop to say either '1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual-Core' or '1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual-Core' but after adding this kernel to my build (which works fine btw) it now only says '1.5GHz dualcore' even though I changed it as above
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
OK i see now. That is strange. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] djigane:
Hello, Seb'

Thanks for your amazing Kernel. Using v1.20 1728 MHz on my ARHD ROM 6.5.0

Is it possible to patch or mod your kernel for it to be used with this application : Callrecoder ?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&feature=search_result

Sorry if the question has been asked before...
[HTC Sensation] Stickster42:
This is just a hex edited stock, the stock 6.5 Kernel works fine with callrecorder on my sensation can hear both sides of conversation fine, the app says kernel isn't patched but works fine
[HTC Sensation] stanlyyy:
Does someone know how to disable "wale up" on Volume Key?

I dont wanna reflash Rom when it is possible without it.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio mit Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
I can't fix it without having source code.

I'll correct this in next release.

In HTC ICS the processor name is taken directly from the kernel, not from build.prop.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Furry muff!! Any chance of you renaming it then? ;)
[HTC Sensation] vincentshjuan:
Just get back android.policy.jar for default ROM and put it back into /system/framework, reset permission like the rest and reboot.....
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
But I renamed it, each v1.20 kernel has modified processor name with maximum available frequency.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Only shows '1.5 GHz dualcore' in my ROM
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Sebastian,

It's 100% the same as in 3.32.401.5 :)
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Ok thanks Mike for the info, didn't look @ it yet :)
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Will there be an undervolted version of this kernel anytime soon??

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
Only then when htc will relise source code. Before dont even think about undervolting
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Not really, Seastian did binary mods for UV on previous kernels. He very well may do them again for present ones.
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
why need to hurry, not long for offical ics relise on sensstion, so w8 better for official and then mod that, its deem safer
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
The version is official/almost official - the same 3.32 base is downloadable from OTA as final Sensation ICS version. So waiting for modding is kind of pointless. Custom kernel OTOH will require source code and that may/may not be released soon.....
[HTC Sensation] niccuany:
Does your new OC version 1.20 not allow flash below 30%? Because its not letting me use my flash below 30%.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Sebastian, can you update the OP please as every page has someone who refuses to read the thread.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
Yes but only with an only version, if i'd want to chose my undervoltage, i can't for now..

In my undervoltage i put 1.075Volt on 1.250Volt @ 1.56ghz

Stable ;)
