I don't notice any lag that I can say bothers me. I do set to Supersmooth Rosie in the new Sense 4 Tweaks app. That does help to speed up rosie as it flattens the 3d effect when scrolling. I also don't have tons of widgets on my screens.

First of all, callibrate your battery. After that, use BetterBatteryStats to see what's eating your power...
[HTC Sensation] EdinM30:
Prolonging battery pack life

By Wikipedia...

Avoid deep discharge (depletion) and instead charge more often between uses. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last.

Avoid storing the battery in full discharged state. As the battery will self-discharge over time, its voltage will gradually lower, and when it is depleted below the low-voltage threshold (2.4 to 2.9 V/cell) it cannot be charged anymore because the protection circuit (a type of electronic fuse) disables it.

It is frequently recommended to store batteries at

40%

charge level.

The rate of degradation of Lithium-ion batteries is strongly temperature-dependent; they degrade much faster if stored or used at higher temperatures and may even be stored in a refrigerator.

Remember this next time you "calibrate" your battery ;)

I didn't want to say nothing before to anyone suggesting to discharge the battery to 5-10% because what you do with it is your problem i only hate when people suggest rom or kernel faults before doing research that maybe it's their fault battery is dying ;)

Now to the battery drain that can be a lot of things since most people like to see their phone as a PC and play games and surf youporn with it 95% of the time there is an app running in the background that prevents your phone going into sleep mode. BetterBatteryStats is one of the apps that can help you find the problem. As of the discharge when the phone is turned off, that's your fault. Get a friend of yours that has similar phone get his battery and test it if it's the hardware on your phone that's making a short on the battery if not then buy a new one.
[HTC Sensation] PedroKantor5234:
What battery monitor app do you suggest I use?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Try BetterBatteryStats, this can show you if you are getting either Partial or Kernel wakelocks and will show which apps or processes are draining the battery

Question has anyone had any issues using Google maps I tried using maps last night and every time I tried my phone crashed it would reboot. every time I tried moving around in the map it reboots
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Go back to the previous version of google maps ... the latest update causes issues ...

My phone (not me :confused:) had a deep sleep issue. He did not go into deep sleep at all. This was the case with the default kernel that is provided with the sense 4 version.

After I flashed faux kernel "Pyramid-ICS-XE-008b12" (I love his work :good:) my phone is going to deep sleep.

Now I can sleep again ;) and does not have to worry about battery drain issues again.

Is this a know issue with bricked kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Blitz 1.1 was wonderful with that base.

Is up to you if you want to be 4 version behind but if that's what you want you won't be disappointed.

Hi everyone,

facebook notifications just stopped working after 2.7 update. Was working fine before. Anybody else noticed this? I am on Blitz 2.7.0. Already tried to clear all data, resync, reset everything to no avail. Any help welcome. Thank you!

Have a bunch of questions :)

1. Read about wifi in n-mode, so our Sensation won't work in n-mode? I understood correctly?

2. Anyone knows software for blacklisting contacts? In Samsung this is built-in in dialer, also I saw some kind of modified XDA dialer when I had my Samsung Spica?

Thnx.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
A bunch of answers :

Answer 1 : Your half correct. N mode is available on 2,4Ghz band but not on the 5Ghz band, it is not built for this. Remember this, if your network detect a slower device then N mode, then you will be cap to 54Mbps or 108Mbps if your router has the Super-G mode.

Answer 2 : You just have to long press the number you want to Blacklist and select it in the menu. You have to do this in the incoming historic calls IIRC.

Can you do a nandroid of your actual rom, full wipe then flashing without choosing to remove any app in Aroma and test if it works? This rom is known to be working a 100% so probably something has been broke via Aroma installer.

Let us know.
[HTC Sensation] Ulverinho:
1. My router is strictly setup in n-mode only, WiFi analyzer says it's 2412 Mhz, 6 ch, but phone can't connect. I'm on 2.7.0 Pegasus, Seb's kernel, so far no luck in connection. Saw some threads about "clear" n-mode and device's support and ppl have a lot of problems too...

2. Oh thanks, would have never found it there :good:
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Nice but I would rather buy the app to support the developer. For anyone installing the apk I would encourage you to still donate to the developer!

Thanks for the link to the developers thread!
[HTC Sensation] sszz:
Hi,

I did not remove facebook or any other app in Aroma originally, so I do not really think this is an issue. Is there anyone here who can confirm that facebook PUSH notifications indeed work for them as intended? Thank you.

I've been away for a while but I tried searching and found afew other posts about google maps, is the update causing issues for everybody or just a select few?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Welcome back :D. Seems like it's only for some. I played around with Maps for a while on my side and didn't get any reboots. Give it a try and if you get reboots then simply uninstall the update
[HTC Sensation] rhapsody01:
Blitz 2.7.0

Stock Kernel

I too have random reboots on Google Maps since the last update.

Today it even happened on Google+ for the first time. Now I wonder if it is related to Maps update or my phone.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Uninstall the Maps update and see if it happens again.
[HTC Sensation] mehrdadp:
hello!

this add on doesn't work on sense 4 ROM!

http://www.mediafire.com/?dqmjo7bzm1xcrmo (google play store _ no country restriction):confused:

please update it!:silly:
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
You could ask in a more polite way. But first lets see what the problem is.. How did you install it? Did you uninstall your current google play app first and clear data in your google account? We would love to help but by you just saying something doesnt work don't give us much information. Also try taking a look at our FAQ on the first page, the Q and A section can clear up quite a few things easily. Here to help!
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Thanks! It is definitely the update. I was on a trip and needed directions and open maps, input directions, and the phone reboots. Do it again and same thing happens again. I tried to think of what I'd changed on my phone and remembered the maps update because it changed the icon so I uninstalled it and everything's been working well since. I wonder what google did and why it only affects some of us? I'm on Pegasus 2.7 if that makes a difference, using faux b11 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Can you at least take the time to link something useful? A link to mediafire doesn't serve this development thread. You should have a read at this post it will help you get more answers to your question.

Well I didn't specify Facebook. Did you removed applications via Aroma? If yes, can you tell us which ones? I have read every post of this thread and in the last 10 pages or so, I don't recall having seen someone mentioning this issue, I can be wrong on this but you are the first to mention it.

Can you specified what have you tried to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
I cant believe someone actually wrote this...there is also now a video you watch when you signup xda!!!

I will try in a bit to recreate I am trying to get a good log on betterbatterystats right now, It seems though that I have also not been recieving notifications sense upgrading to 2.7.0. On 2.6.0 I got notifications although they were turned off... Anyway I will check it on nonsense 2.7.0 Apex launcher and give my results.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with your comment about providing more detail I believe the mediafire link is the same link as is in the Sense 4 Add-ons on the 1st page.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
That's fine Paul. I am using Friendcaster instead of the Facebook app and I receive notification correctly. So I don't have this push issue via Friendcaster.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I know, but the asking presentation doesn't help anyone. Why he didn't mention it? I do know he didn't have bad intention when he wrote this, but there is a minimum a person should do when asking for a solution, being the most precise as possible when asking is one of them.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
As I said, I agree :D

Hey, how does the 4 rom differ from the 3.6 rom.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Whilst there are not any major changes between Sense 3.6 and Sense 4, there are things that are different and personally which I prefer, but thre are also others that say they prefer 3.6. Take a nandroid backup of 3.6 and try out Sense 4, you can always go back if you don't like it
[HTC Sensation] wiswis:
I mean does sense 4 have anything not working that 3.6 does? In sense 4 does thed camera work fine?
[HTC Sensation] Sidewindr:
Exhibit one why such things should only be attempted by people who know what they are doing .. :rolleyes:

If you are just looking for updates watch the first post of the thread, no need to read the rest of the thread unless you want to or have an issue :)
[HTC Sensation] brett_c:
I just tested on my phone and got several reboots - using Blitz 1.0 and Stock Kernel. Definitely related to the Maps update, as I haven't updated my phone for months.
[HTC Sensation] wiswis:
N i flash this rom with CWM or is 4ext MANDATORY
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Sense4 works just as well if not better than sense 3.6.....wait did I say this. Check the changelogs in the OP for news and info about all the elegancia builds you will find answers to most questions there! Yes camera works fine!

Use 4ext otherwise your experience will be sub-par.
[HTC Sensation] 1t5_Luc1f3r:
To get the best install it is best too use 4EXT to flash this ROM but it will install using CWM.
[HTC Sensation] wiswis:
So what can I gain from using 4ext
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
All of the aroma install options will only work with 4ext. You will get a themed recovery one you can use from within the rom. You will be able to choose what kernel to flash what apps to use what apps to delete, location stuff gps, etc...the list goes on and on. If you dont want problems take the time to install 4ext it is included in the rom anyway and highly recommended.
[HTC Sensation] wiswis:
Whats the best version of 4ext to use?
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Signal 5 Bar

Here is a 5 bar signal mod for sense4 should work fine for any sense 4 rom. Thanks to Lozone for the graphics and thanks to the villian team for the villian theme flasher.Flash through recovery!

Thanks, but I still don't really see how this helps me solve my problem. I am aware of the basic tips of how to extend my battery's lifespan (no deep discharges etc.) and I've starting to use better battery stats to start monitoring my kernel and partial wakelocks. Could you please elaborate what you mean by the discharge when my phone is off as 'my fault', and how could I go around this? (other than borrowing another battery which I'm working on)

I can confirm that my facebook notifications ARE working I also do NOT get any reboots using the google maps. I started with a full wipe and formatted my sd card.

Gotta make an error fix on some info i gave someone on here and gave credit to the wrong person. Don't know if it was noticed but just had to give credit where it's due. The other day i was speaking of a battery mod with somene and I pointed him into the direction of the ones made by saugbaer and accidentally said it was made by hd2neuling, i think it's spelled that way if im not correct. Im pretty sure as it looks aka paul makes some but the older ones i was speaking of that i accidentally said was made by hd2neuling, was actualy made by saugbaer. Sorry for the mix up in you all's work guys. My mistake.
[HTC Sensation] EdinM30:
You know i wish i could grab your phone have a look at it and say here is your problem but when it comes to the battery you say DAMN. At the moment we can't do anything to stop it from discharging when it's off, you need that other battery to test if it's hardware that is causing a short and depleting your battery or is it the battery itself that can't hold a charge no more.

It will take a few days to find out but be patient, i had a problem with my wifi speed beeing slow and fixed it in 2 days i'm sure you'll get to the bottom of this :)

hey guys i have this same auto sync issue of friend stream every where, i have tried 3 differents roms sense4 to test it but it seems that there is something wrong on my phone that breaks the friendstream auto sync ,it does not update automatically and there is no way to set it.

i have not removed anything to see if the problem was there ....

i don't see what going wrong .....
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Hi Cat, I'm still not sure what the problem could be. Have you tried clearing data from Friendstream and perhaps even your accounts from Accounts & Sync. On my OneX things update but not always on what seems like a regular basis. There is of course always the option to refresh the widget by pushing the refresh button at the bottom. Have you also tried an app like Friendcaster?

Here is a Screen Shot with Sense 4.0 v2.7.0 using Faux123 v8b12 running at 1.728GHz.

This is an Antutu Benchmark score i did just the other day. I can say these #'s truly describe how smooth my phone works. It is very snappy and works real fast.
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Cat try delete data from google account facebook twitter friendstream etc. Then delete facebook app. Reboot rom with data wipe and dalvik and fix permissions. Once phone reboots log back into google acct then configure accounts through friendstream acct. Set sync, reboot again and test. If that dont work you may want to try setting up device without restoring data just to test, your data backup might be the fault, it happened to me a while back with wifi notifications and friendstream sync. I did a clean install and started from scratch and all good now.

[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
I understand your frustration. I used BetterBatteryStats for a while to assist me. It is a very good tool. After finding out that location was on for maps and duplicate FB apps running, I still thought there was more to be done. My main issues after that were that in sleep mode the phone was loosing battery life and there seemed to be an abnormal drain after I used an app. I did some searching and found an article that directed me to use System panel for help. I posted this a week or so ago and it go no responses or traction, but maybe it might help you. The monitoring function is really good to see what is peaking when your screen is off and when the phone should be sleep. Happy hunting.:good:

Task manager is your friend. depending on what apps i use i will get down to 60-100mb's of ram but i use TaskManager throughout the day and when i kill my tasks i get about 250-300megs of ram open.

i have never had a RAM issue.

Hi cat....nice to see you still here...Have you anything to report yet with your sync issue?

I am using v B8 as well, I guess I will have to see if I have same issue.

I second that!!! :D

Hmm I am pretty happy with B8 but I might have to update just for testing purposes.

Here is a screen shot of my current battery with faux vB8 with sense 4 senseless...Pretty good but I am still testing kernels for my best battery stability and smoothness...
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I'm sorry I should've asked this sooner...

Do you use the default faux or yank's aroma? Also, can I ask what settings you use during the Aroma installation? I like faux but have never found the sweet spot for battery life and performance.

So far Bricked has been the best balance on my phone. I know YMMV but I'd like to test out to see if the newer faux is better. faux seems to update a lot! I wished Bricked did so as well...but on the other hand it works so I guess "don't fix what's not broken"? LOL!

I just installed the Sense 4 de-sensed over the weekend (still need to update my sig) and I'm really loving it. I was using shnizlon's AOSP theme on ARHD with Nova launcher previously and thought that was the best I could get as I had been running that through numerous ARHD updates. But after the 3.33 base came out, his theme no longer worked so I was searching for a replacement.

The only thing I recommend for the already amazing install experience would be a more protective de-sense set of steps. Coming from shnizlon's theme, I was used to having the option to select the Sense or the AOSP version of the different apps. Shnizlon's approach helped make it clear if there was an AOSP alternative available, but my first pass with this install left me without active-sync. LOL. I'm so glad I tried a fresh install with all sense enabled as the 4.0 version of mail really is a great improvement from even 3.6!

My last tweaks to make this perfect for my own taste will be replacing all of the HTC green with ICS blue :cool:

Big thanks to the ELEGANCIA™ team!
