I have good news for all of you experiencing problems with light and proximity sensors.I just flashed ARHD 6.5.4 ROM from mike1986

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

with faux123 kernel instead of SebastianFM kernel and everything is working just fine so far!

Flash faux123 kernel and give it a try and report here please.

PS: also hit "Thanks" button if this helped as i don`t have any yet!
[HTC Sensation] stillbeer:
Trying right now.

Will report tomorrow.

Thanks !

No,not working....

It did for a couple of hours.

Same here.Very disappointing as at seems there is no solution for this issue.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
I have the same problem but I think mine is hardware. I was first time snowboarding with my Sensation with me. Very dumb. So i falled at least 100 times for two days and I think the crystals (these sensor are crystals right?) have been dislocated. So my proximity sensor used to work sometimes but now it isn't working at all. And lights sensor still works whenever it wants. You can't return my phone and wait another month I can live without the sensors for now. But could you recommend some fix or workaround?

Ndokami: The minute you unlock it all and load 3.32FW and start using any ICS ROMS you will be back in the same boat. There is no point in sending it back or paying anything as it is NOT a hardware problem. Trust me on this because I have spent weeks isolating the problem......

DANOFDANGER: My Capacitive lights, and all sensors are NOT working since I unlocked this phone and loaded FW 3.32 and ICS ROMS. There are NO successful fixes around either......I regret doing any of this now as nothing is working. I can't see what buttons to press on the touchpad in the dark, and its even worse making a call because my face touches the screen and activates buttons......

I am so frustrated with this, I am willing to pay someone $$$ to fix it!

dzhoshkun: EXACT same problem with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
same here

same bug here.

tried every ICS firmware from userfriendly, superwipe and virtuous, stock and miui. ambient and prox sensors sometimes work after boot, but will soon die.

androsensor reports either "waiting for event" or "failed to start: unknown error". Miui settings report a lux value of -1 on ambient sensor.

Im all out of ideas.

Will try going back to GB if I can find the older files somewhere.
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
now working

This is the strangest bug.

So I wiped, formated, and wiped again, and installed the universal 1.17 firmware from the userfriendly fw thread.

Then flashed MIUI v 1.12.30 from the miui pyramid archives.

upon booting, the sensors sort of worked, a bit laggish, and then died. a few boots later the sensors started to come back to life. light sensor became more and more accurate, and prox became responsive again. on day 2, they both were stable and responsive, also after rebooting.

Feeling lucky, I flashed to universal 3.32, and miui ICS 2.6.15, and what do you know?

Sensors are stable and responsive, day 2 on ICS.

update:

sensors started to fail again 3 days later. did a couple of reboots, and sensors died completely.

flashed to 1.17 and miui 1.12.30 again, and sensors are now, once again live. going to stick to miui 1.12.30 for a while now.
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
Nope, never mind.

Both sensors died again today.

I cannot see how this can be a software issue anymore.

Sigh.
[HTC Sensation] pawel_podgorski:
Am stuck in same point. Can't afford for new one so it have to be what it is.

I found one men on xda and he have some solution so I flash this file and sensors complitly down. Anybody try ruu back to stock ? To me it still look like software problem. One time works one time not
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
I tried the ruu back to stock earlier this year and it didn't work for me. I ultimately ended up getting a replacement from my insurance company that costed me 130$...

*note*

This was back before the official ics was released so they might have found a fix for the bug.

Personally I think it might be an hardware issue, possibly water damage.
[HTC Sensation] monopoint:
fixed it with spray

As I mentioned earlier, I suspect my case if this bug was not software related.

So I digged up some WD-40, and gently covered the prox sensor with spray, using the tube nozzle.

Within the hour, after a reboot, I started getting readings from both sensors. The light sensor read a too dark light level, so the screen always dimmed to dark. I guess the spray cleaned up but also distorted a bit. But at least I got readings again.

During the next few days, the light sensor signals were getting more and more accurate, and eventually got as good as new.

Its been several weeks now, and both sensors have been stable and working perfectly.

Will definitely spray again!
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Guys: These are all strange hardware errors that the model generates. I tried EVERYTHING, all the way down to the chipsets on the logic board of the phone. If you have insurance, you should be able to swap it out because it is defective. I am not sure how it works with other carriers but with TMOUS, you are able to get a refurbished replacement via UPS in like 3 days, and then you send the old one back. T

This was the ONLY way I was able to fix the problem long term.
[HTC Sensation] HD Brian:
I know this is an old thread now, but I just wanted to state that I have never rooted my HTC Sensation 4g but I have the same problems. I did a factory reset and it still will not work, so I think this proves it's a hardware issue.
[HTC Sensation] burn_the_house:
the WD-40 method works

the same problem with both sensors i had on my sensation xe - sometimes they worked sometimes they don't,or one of them worked, anyway it has been around a month since i have used the WD-40 spray on the proximity and light sensor and i can confirm you guys that they work just fine! you will notice the difference in about 4-5 (or more) days after you apply the spray, at least 4 me it worked ! good luck (sorry for my bad english)
[HTC Sensation] ReaperManHK:
I hate to bump an old thread, but I've tried every fix that I've scoured the internet for. I'm utterly shocked, but spraying a tiny bit of WD-40 into the sensor, then rebooting, instantly fixed the sensors. It's as if something had accumulated inside the body of the phone and the WD-40 cleared it away. I have no idea...

I won't be surprised if it fails again, like people have reported, but it was still a shock to see it work.
[HTC Sensation] rio911:
The way I clean the proximity sensor is this: With corner of the page you clean the gap on top of the sensor(gap between the screen and the phone base). Page corner is getting in 2-3 mm. You clean it from dust and any other dirt there. You clean from sensor outwards. When you pass 5-6 times with the page over the sensor and you take out all dust, you can use can with compressed air to blow in the gap over the sensor. I did it this way. Also you can use straw to blow yourself or maybe even vacuum cleaner to take the dust out. Now my sensor is working fine, before it only showed 0 cm when tested with Android sensor box or Sensor test. 0 cm means dirty sensor, sensor thinks there is something on top of it. Light sensor was working OK. After cleaning sensor is showing 9 cm, as it needs to be. When I cover it it then show 0 cm. When you clean it with the page, you pass one time, take corner out ,clean it from dust and with clean corner clean again. I tried many ways to resolve the problem before that, but when I found out there is gap and page can get in, the problem was resolved. WD-40 method is working the same way, but I would prefer not to spray it on my sensor. So, cleaning the sensor takes 5 minutes and less. The idea is to take out the dirt and have opportunity to spray air directly over the sensor. Most of the times dirt does not give you to do it.
[HTC Sensation] tyborall:
I used CWM Recovery the whole time. I cannot say when my sensors stopped working, it was not with JB or ICS, but I have flashed TWRP yesterday and I have Kit Kat and now my sensors are working like a charme! So, if you have CWM Recovery, give TWRP a try!

I found this out, when flash ARHD 7.3, just to test if it helps. It hasn't, but when used the Shortcode *#*#3424#*#* I found out, that the sensors worked with it, but not inside my ROM. So I decided to flash another recovery (TWRP) and voila, it works! In CM ROMs the short code isn't working, but with ARHD the original HTC program behind that shortcode was accessible. If you try the shortcode on CM, you will see nothing! Trust me.
[HTC Sensation] room311:
There is no solution for problem about proximity sensor?
[HTC Sensation] tyborall:
Have you tried flashing ARHD 7.3, then TWRP and then, without deleting /boot, flashing an actual CM ROM?

[HTC Sensation] room311:
yeah i agree with you , android1234567 said :

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to do a standard full wipe (factory reset, system, cache) if you are coming from a different ROM, then install the ROM and gapps for Android 4.4
[HTC Sensation] tyborall:
you have to do a standard full wipe, but don't do a superwipe! it will delete /boot.

I just don't like thw TW launcher as much. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I wish it had more flexibility. TW 4.5 has some of those, but then it lacks some from the official TW3.

So now I am aiming for stock i9100 + Nova/Apex launcher :)

I like Samsung based over aosp based too. But development on both fronts helps make for an overall better experience for anyone who likes flashing and tinkering with there phone.

As far as tw launcher, it has gotten allot better, but no matter whether I run asop based or Samsung based I always seem to find my way to go launcher or adw.

Once ics is working well enough for me to keep it on my phone longer than a day or two, I'm going to spend some time checking out the nova launcher.

I partially agree. I don't really care about ICS, but I'll probably update to it when it comes out. I am perfectly happy with the setup I have now. I dont't understand why people are acting like they "need" it.

I also like AOSP and its simplicity, but I love the media format support provided by Samsung roms. Full 1080p wmv's @ 10mbps? Yes please. I don't care for Touchwiz launcher itself though.

I find you need a balance between constantly flashing and having a functional device.

For me it goes in spurts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
How can you have an Android phone, or any device really, that DOESN'T just work? You like having something that's constantly broken?

My phone is a communication device primarily, a personal organizer and music source for my truck, and sometimes light gaming device.

It'll never replace my desktop, and it'll never replace my HTPC + 55" Samsung LED SmartTV. I just can't stand watching video on such a small screen.

I like all the advanced things my phone can do, I just want every feature to always work, 100% of the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] k1ska:
1.) Flashing ROMs doesn't mean one's device doesn't work. It simply means they want a change from stock/whatever they decide to change from.

2.) Flashing ROMs doesn't disable your device as a communication platform. AOSP based ROMs (With ICS, at least) have a better calendar, camera application, and are compatible with virtually every app you currently have now.

3.) Not trying to sound like a ****, but if you just want it to work and aren't concerned with flashing the ROM or anything, why are you on XDA Developers?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You're obviously new here if you question why roms are released that are WIP's, many people will put up with these until they get fixed. If you don't want to, that's your choice but don't disrespect the devs, this is their site after all. They are aware of what is and isn't working and are working hard to fix them so stop requesting everywhere. They know people want it fixed but not everything is instantaneous. I'm not wasting anyone's time except my own
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
you are not very smart and obviously have ego problems. I have used android since 2.0 first came out. I have never seen so many people releasing roms that have no idea what they are doing. I don't know where you live but in my country we are allowed to speak. I have not insulted any devs in their threads. these threads say everything fixed etc and it is a lie. so look here little boy I am 34 and I am not new. so take your little words somewhere else. I answered the thread question. run along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Very few say "everything fixed" most of them say "everything specific to he at&t version fixed" which is completely different. Also, does not matter whether or not you insulted them in their threads, the fact of the matter is that you're insulting them. Unless you can do better you really shouldn't say things like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
1) I'm more referring to the flashing of a brand new rom that still has tons of bugs and non-working bits. People obsessively flash to these roms and then complain when it's broken. I'm personally tired of that cycle.

2) AOSP roms, IMO, don't have better calendar, camera, contacts or dialer apps than stock Touchwiz4 ones. Hell, AOSP roms don't even have native social networking built in. That, in and of itself, partially breaks my device as a communication platform.

3) I'm here because I'm looking for ways to make my device better, PLUS I like the community (though I'm seriously beginning to question the latter. No offense to you k1ska).

This is what I'm referring to. When ICS roms were starting to leak, and be ported, NOTHING worked right on them, yet people were flocking to flash them. It boggles my mind that they would want to flash something that broken to their device. I stopped chasing that a long time ago, and now I only flash roms that their creator considers "stable" or "finished" I didn't even flash Unnamed till it was version 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] k1ska:
You're an idiot. "Everything is fixed" means all of the major issues concerning usability are no longer a problem. There will be bugs with a kernel that was made from the i9100 source until Entropy's genius ass fixes everything because he's an i777 God. I don't know where you live but here if you show disrespect, you get disrespected.

If those who are releasing ROMs are doing such a ****ty job, where's yours? Do you have a ungodly and perfect one for us to enjoy? If not, shut the hell up and move along. The REAL developers are aware of the issues and are taking care of it. It takes time, you know, because ICS won't be official for our devices for a good 2-3 months.

Also, just because you're 34 years old, doesn't mean you're inherently correct. You're still being disrespectful, and regardless of age, that is NOT how things are here. Honestly, you need to learn to pick what you want to comment on and form a more polite way of going about it. This attitude of yours is going to end up getting you removed from the community if you don't change it.

Well, I understand your points and while some are valid, I disagree with your stance on the ICS ROMs. If they didn't release it, they wouldn't have been able to find and fix certain issues that were plaguing the initial tests. At least, not for a long while afterwards. The test ROMs help the community because the devs are working to fix the issues that the people who flashed them inevitably find, which in turn gets a real working ROM to us sooner. :)

Again, in my initial post I wasn't intending to sound rude or disrespectful by any means, nor in this one. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
Sorry children, but fighting time is over.

Fact is, devs do this for free, and users accept the risks. If you don't like the fact that roms are coming out with bugs, MAKE ONE YOURSELF. It is one thing to report a bug; it is totally different to start demanding. I promise you, if you keep that up, your time around here will get short....

Hi,

I need some words about model numbers. I want to install a new ROM but I don't know how to tell if a certain ROM fits my phone.

I have a SGS2 XXLPQ with stock ICS. Is "XXLPQ" saying something about my phone hardware or the kernel? Can my phone run ROM's that are designated something else (LP7, whatever)?

How does all those model numbers work?

A before B 3 after 2

LPQ is the year month and build version .

If you search you will find the codes as the question is asked time after time .

Kernel is part of the firmware not the firmware .

A better idea is to start at the beginning and read the FAQS and GUIDES FIRST .

Just found the search thingy works .

Kernel codes etc .

[General Questions and Answers] Shivy17:
hey all, thanks in advance for helping. I'm a total noob

okay, so i rooted my htc sensation successfully with revolutionary.

i had access to my phone when i checked file manager and astro so i assumed it worked. i could also run titanium back up

next, i tried to install the stock ICS ota update from these forums. it said i had to first flash PG58IMG.zip. and i did that, however, when i did this and it updated, after it said update successful, i pressed power to reboot and i was stuck in a bootloop! i tried getting back into recovery and that worked and i tried to restore a back up but i was still stuck in a bootloop (black screen, white screen and green htc, quietly brilliant, black screen . . .)

so i did some reading and someone said a fix was to rename the rom.zip in the ota file to PG58IMG.zip and update that... which is what i did

that seemed to be a mistake though, because now when i boot my phone i get the white screen, quietly brilliant, then a black screen with a phone and a green thingy around it (doesnt stay on for very long) and then a black screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it and it just stays on that screen. i don't mind losing all my data as all my apps and stuff have been backed up onto an external hard drive.
