[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Article from tweakers.net (source):

HTC provides users of the Dutch Sensation, Sensation Sensation XL and XE soon an update to Android 4.0 ICS. On March 1 also appears that a white Sensation Android 4.0 already installed.

To update existing devices called HTC no period, the manufacturer has only said that "soon" will take place. The update was on the air offered to users. It is still unclear whether the devices with the update to ICS also immediately be provided with Sense 4.0.

About new features in Android 4.0 version of HTC Sense is still little known, HTC has just announced that shortcuts at the bottom can be adjusted by the user. Recently there appeared images of the new version of Sense, showed that the appearance, colors and screen animations differ from both Android 4.0 and the current versions of Sense.

HTC Sensation spent the last year in June from 2.3 with Android. Last autumn there were the Sensation XE and XL on the Sensation. The Sensation runs on a Qualcomm MSM8260 dual-core SOC running at 1.2 GHz. The GPU is an Adreno 220. The phone has a 4.3 "LCD with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The camera has a maximum resolution of 8 megapixels and shoots video at 1080p with 30fps.

The manufacturer will this spring, next to the white Sensation, presumably releasing new models. These will most likely at the Mobile World Congress telecommunication fair, which takes place later this month in Barcelona, ​​are presented
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Nevermind, HTC has clarified that the phone will be coming with 2.3 and will be upgradeable to 4.0 ... lame.

Thank you! This'll help tell me what rumors are fake sooner!(assuming the site isn't providing us with false information!) It'll be a long wait :( However, ty devs for sharing the leaks. They work pretty damn good so far!
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
This would be awesome, as they would release kernel sources with this phone which might be compatible with the original Sensation/Sensation XE... which would allow better custom kernels for ICS :) which is the only thing wrong with ICS@Sensation at the moment! (apart from the *few* minor bugs ;))
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
I wont hold my breath that it will be soon
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
There will be not ICS on 1 March, on XE White. R u blind all? Read!
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
C'mon...when it goes live, it will...

Counting will make you nervous and nothing else...root it and have it right now... :)

And, be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it...
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Yes how retarded of people not pre-emptively predicting an updated article.

Take a chill pill.
[HTC Sensation] drivexcore:
Im seriously not impressed with the way HTC are masking ICS, AOSP ICS is a beautiful thing, so can sense be, but htc have gone about it all wrong with sense 3.6 and 4, I think im steering away from HTC slowly but surely, and can almost guarantee that I will be going AOSP ICS when it is stable!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Oh man, there is 3 threads about "1 march ics", and one opened after 1st etc... noone sees that article is updated? Or even that some thrads r arleady open with updated information? Please...
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
You can say that again...

I like sense functionality, unlike its skining...it would be nice if they keep sense with AOSP design...
[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
I like the ROM's that are already out there, and as posted above as soon as AOSP is stable I'll be going to that.

On the other hand I wonder what's taking HTC so long, we have devs that do this for fun and they're releasing great ROMs and here you got a major company that you would think have lots of professional devs that do this for a living and they take forever.
[HTC Sensation] xyqtt:
A chef here has to make a rom which is pre made and stable and tweaks it. If it works for 99% of the users it's good. Htc has to release a rom which work for 100% of the users.
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
You forget that it isn not just a phone software that they need to update and polish, they need to sort out all cloud services that their ecosystem is all about (eg facebook for HTC, watch, hub, likes etc).

I would rather wait a few weeks to get a finished product, than have unpolished system that has memory leaks or whatever...

You forget that average user doesn't want to mess with rooting and flashing and they even don't know about that alternative (and/or care) so they cannot and will not flash new "xda" software when official rom "breaks"...
[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
Very true, didn't think about that.:D
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
well, you can press thanks button so i can open new thread sooner :D
[HTC Sensation] kloenie:
hope they release it soon..

I and my wife have an rooted firmware now.

but somethimes the phone reboots...

i don't care, but the wife don't like it hehehe.
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
U can always change your wife. Maybe developers from XDA can make some new RomWIFE. But... how to do wipe then?

No point in this...

As far as I know that's only available in custom ROMs however I'm not familiar with Checkrom V4.

Please post in the Checkrom forum and ask over there.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futurama:
Hi Guys,

I have flashed my Note for the first time, I've gone for Rocket Rom V21.

all is working fine, however I had to do a wipe for the rom to work, so I'm missing all the text messages, app/settings, and calendar dates.

I do have a backup from yesterday done with CWM.

My question is, how can I apply or retain all of the above on my newly flashed rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novastorm17:
I think that the backup you made is localised to your ROM. So you may be unable to use the backed up data in the new ROM. Or you might have to modify/move somethings. Best of luck
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futurama:
Well I have restored my backup sucessfully just to check it, because people always reccomend having a backup of your working system if you are going to flash new roms.

The backup is functioning perfectly with all my texts and calendar dates in tact.

So I have an opportunity to back up these items, so what would you reccomend to do this?

Should I be using Titanium backup?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafreaking:
Titanium Backup will backup all Apps and Settings. I believe the newer versions of titanium Backup can extract backed up files from nandroid (CWM) backups.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
if you wipe then it wipes the internal memory (dont confuse this with the 11gb storage space) you need to back up the messages with an app that will allow you to do this

if you have root then i use mybackup root if you dont have root then there are plenty of apps onthe market that will backup and restore your messages
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonzenDroid:
I suggest you restore the previous ROM; install Titanium Backup and execute a backup of "all user apps + system data"; flash again your favorite ROM, then restore the apps + data you want.

Hi everybody

I have a problem with my MiniCM7 Pro - V20 sometimes i don't receive SMS messages (signal full), i don't receive them latter or at all.

I tried to reboot but the sms is not delivered to the phone ever, but i get SMS afterwards for a while. :(

The sender receives the delivery report that reports delivered.

So now i'm never sure if sms was sent to me!!

Any solutions? :confused:

Could anybody help me?

Thanks

It's strange.

I've had similar troubles with stock SE 2.1u1, but changing to MiniCM7Pro (v20) has resolved it...

Would You like to give to MiniCM7Pro v21 a try?

hi,

i'm with MiniCM7 Pro since V6

but with V20 i have all things working for the first time (wifi, battery time is good)

this SMS seems to be the only problem for me in V20.

i will try to upgrade to V21 and see if this behavior will continue.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaillum:
Hi guys sorry for the several topics in my subject line but there are several questions that I have.

So I just signed up because I'm a bit confused and I'm quite new to the scene. I actually posted this on another forum which I'm already a member of, but I felt it would be better posting here since this is obviously more specialised.

After reading the rules, I've realised that it's quite hard to do a search for existing topics with my questions. I've already tried to do individual searches on each topic though, with varying success.

I've just rooted my Nexus S (i9023, AUS version) for the first time simply because I wanted to be able to use DroidWall (to only allow certain apps to use data).

1) If I manually update to ICS, will I lose root?

2) Does installing a custom ROM cause you to lose all your data? - I've done some searching on this and it seems to depend. Some do and some don't. I don't quite get it though.

3) Kernels - seem to control battery life and how the operating system runs. This slightly confuses me because it makes me think, what affects battery life more: the kernel or the ROM?

4) Most people like to overclock their phones in the interest of power. Would it be reasonable to underclock it in the interest of battery life? Sometimes I don't think I really need 1GHz.

5) It seems like the OTA for ICS for i9023 has not been released yet but has been for i9020?

I'm trying to find the best 2.3.6 Custom ROM from here but none of these are 2.3.6 based! All of them are 2.3.4 or older. I'm hesitant upgrading to ICS for three reasons:

1) Hasn't been released OTA officially

2) Worried of app compatibility

3) Worried of shorter battery life

For these reasons, I'm looking for a 2.3.6 based custom ROM otherwise I'd be happy to look at ICS custom ROMs.

None of the ICS ROMs seem to have any distinctive features about them, especially after watching the video reviews. It's all pretty much "it's a great ROM that doesn't lag when browsing the web and it's fast". Nothing really distinguishes one from another.

Sorry for the mildly long post, but I'd rather ask as many questions as I can at a time rather than making a couple of threads for each. Hope I can get some help =)

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colocynth:
I bought 9023 in hk. Upgraded to ics by ota.

If you want, you may do it manually. Flash the rom by yourself. Ota is no longer available. Check it out at nexusshack.com

I don't have battery problem. But don't know why. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Lots of words, i'm getting a little confused up there. Anyway, if you are rooted (and i assume your bootloader is unlocked), there is nothing to worry about as long as you backup. I personally love ICS and have no issue with it, as do many others. A minority of people however tend to have some problems, whether its battery or force closes. My experience so far has been that a proper wipe fixes most of these anyway.

ICS is still new. Once Cyanogenmod 9 is officially released i'm sure we'll see much more variety than the same look and feel, as alot is based off their code. And also, practically no phones have ICS yet. I've not found app compatibility a problem though, i think the main gripe is viber (which should work soon).

I hope this can help you, just let us know if there is anything else you're after. Also, there is a TON of information around the site (and Nexus S forums in particular). A good amount of reading and going through a couple of pages of some of these threads can go a long way. That is why you came here after all, isn't it? ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaillum:
I got the OTA for ICS back around 20th Dec 2011, but I chose not to update it because I was going to be away from a computer for a few days and had no backup phone. When I wanted to update it a few days later, the update had disappeared from my phone so I looked it up online. Apparently the OTA disappeared for Nexus S's due to some bugs or incompatibility issues. I've never seen the update come up on my phone since. Even when I go to Settings->About phone->System update, it says "your system is up to date". So I've always been under the impression that ICS for Nexus S (at least for my variant, i9023) has never been re-released to us OTA.

Harbb, thanks for your answers. The only one I'm not so sure about is the underclocking one. It seems a little beyond me in terms of technicality. I am definitely interested in doing it though. Would you be able to tell me if adjusting clock speed requires an app?

I am rooted and bootloader is unlocked (I thought you could only root if bootloader was unlocked?).

So does that mean all these custom ROMs around at the moment are mostly based around Cyanogenmod, which is why they're very similar? As I was saying, I was looking at getting a custom ROM installed and noticed most of them are ICS custom ROMs, and the video reviews all say "this ROM is fast and does not lag when web browsing. It's a great ROM and it's fast and smooth."

The custom ROMs just don't seem to be "promoted" too well because I can't see what makes one better than the other, or what features of one custom ROM are intended to be the standout ones.

I notice you (Harbb) are using Stock ICS 4.0.3 (according to your sig) - so you are not using a custom ROM? Am I able to install a custom ICS ROM without first installing ICS? I am still running 2.3.6 at this point.

Viber does not work at the moment? That's not too bad. I can live with that.

I've done quite a bit of reading so far. It has certainly helped, but still a long way to go, but thanks for giving me a great start!

I will start backing up my apps using TB and CWM (Nandroid)!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Best line i've read in days :)

I have tried several custom ROMs once they started surfacing but i didn't feel like they gave me anything special enough to switch to right now and Stock is setup and running very nicely. Stock ICS colours are fine and other apps now can provide Notifications Widgets. I havn't noticed any particular differences in speed either.

Brainmasters ICS tweaks, custom kernel and Flavours of ICS runs beautifully. The OTA varies with where it shows up. To force a check, type this in dialer: *#*#checkin#*#* [AKA, *#*#2432546#*#* ]

If you are rooted it won't work anyway. Just update manually. There is no need to currently on ICS to flash custom ICS ROMs. I would advise that when going from GB to ICS though (and often between some custom ROMs) that you go into CWM and do a factory/data wipe and format /system. After backing up of course.

At the moment most are not based on CM9, however several do use bits and pieces of code (ie. notification power widgets) from it. Not sure why most ROM descriptions are the same :p

First thing i'd consider is getting a custom kernel, and then the NSTools app (market). Lots of stuff to mess around with and full control of the CPU (governors, IO, overclocking, undervolting, etc).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colocynth:
agree with u. for 4.0.3, stock is my favorite, sad to say that.

for 4.0.4, while stock for NS not available, IMM26 ROM ported from NS4G seems good, if you like the stock rom feel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaillum:
Hmm I bricked my phone.

I've done the Nandroid and Titanium Backup and have it sitting on my computer ready once I recover this damn thing. Following the backups, I attempted to manually update to ICS with the zip file on this page: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich

Now I'm following these two threads to try and recover the phone:

Hopefully I will get this back up and working. I'm still confused as to why it got bricked though. Updated via clockworkmod "update from sdcard" and then rebooted system. After that, it just bricked. Can't get any lights to come up on the device whatsoever. Plugging it in to computer, wall charger, pressing all the buttons, taking the battery out and putting it back in.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Odd. Best of luck getting it working, i'm sure the resurrector will work for you so don't stress too much. That's the right file so i'll probably just put the issue on a bad flash or bad download (wise to hash check before flashing). At this point i'd say it's wise when you get it working again, just flash the Full OTA file, and do a wipe of /data, /cache, /system and /boot beforehand.

Sad to hear about your troubles buddy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaillum:
So it looks like everything worked out for me. I managed to restore my phone with the help of the threads above. I have to admit though, the guides given on this forum aren't too "complete" - there's always a step or two missing from the guide that the reader has to figure out themselves. And not all the files are provided in the topics either! I'm also kind of concerned why it seems so many people ended up bricking their phone like that. Quite concerning.

In the end, I managed to reflash the stock ICS ROM for i9023 Nexus S which I found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445635

So I scrapped the one that I downloaded initially from Android Central. The difference in size was surprisingly roughly 30MB (160MB instead of the 130MB Android Central one).

I'm just using stock ICS, but rooted. Downloaded a few apps which require root, but haven't tried adding any mods or kernels. I might look into that later. But it seems like with 4.0.4 coming out, there might be some interesting new additions!

Thanks for all your help!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJavaJunkie:
Congratulations on resurrecting it! Are you guys saying that there is a risk of bricking a phone, while installing official update? I did a manual update, 3 weeks ago, unrooted, and ICS has been nothing but amazing for me.

I have a question. In case, I ever brick my I9023 (hope not).

I've noticed when playing video that lines/edges get really jagged and look aliased.

My videos are all native resolution (1024x600) and look fine when played with software decoders (like MX Video Player SW mode) but stutter and/or waste battery when using SW.

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to tweak the hardware decoder so that it produces correct output (not aliased or oversharpened or whatever it's doing here). Any ideas? GL tweak? Maybe some config files in /system or something?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm rather shocked at the video quality, and really want to love my KF, but coming from iPad land, I'm very disappointed by the jagginess of sharp edges in video playback (most noticeable on sharp edges/curves/text in videos).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] alidsd:
Hi All,

I have been using 'Battery Monitor 3C' from a long time but on my Htc phones, now i installed it on Galaxy W, but amazingly its not reporting the correct current consumption values in his log.

Very random values are there, in idle mode it shows from 10mA to 200mA which is not correct. When the screen is ON , it shows 30mA or 50mA that is also not correct. I have checked none of my application is consuming current that can justify these values.

Moreover battery percentage is also not correct. i.e , It jumps from 55% to 25% and stays at 25% for a longer time period.

So hence my conclusion is that Stock kernel doesnt give the correct values for mA and % to applications.

Anyone can give details that is it the problem with Kernel or the Battery Monitor 3C ?

I would appreciate if anyone has used the current monitor on Galaxy W and he thinks that the reading are correct.

Thanks
