LTE just when live in my town on Monday at for the past two days the bars fluctuated from 1-4 frequently when the phone was in the same location. Today I flashed AOKP B29 and have noticed my phone holding onto 4 bars without any drops all day even when I move around the office. Does this have to do with 4.0.4 or the fact they are probably still in the testing phase since it hasn't been officially announced
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Ignore the bars, they're meaningless between OS versions. They can program the phone to give full bars in crappy signal, which is kind of what they did here, basically. You get more bars for the same level of signal. So you're not imagining things.

However, try not to use bars here. It's just not helpful, generally. Go into settings>about phone>status and give us the dbm readings from signal strength (you can ignore ASU, it's basically the same thing as dbm). That's far more relevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theherodrownd:
-92 dbm is what its showing right now. Doesn't seem to be moving from that number.

Now -88 is showing 2 bars

If you have a lower version than that RUU, you should be able to. If your software version is higher then no, you'll have to follow the downgrade guide.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jshields1986:
so I received an 8gb in a contest that I won, sadly I dont believe I can exchange it for the 16gb model...as Im unsure i think im stuck with it.

anyways

currently running stock 1.4.2 and unable to buy a sd card atm and from what ive been reading I can download the android apk so I can sideload android apps and games, is this true?

if this is the case where can i find the APK to download on my nt?

anyone know of a place that has NT wallpapers that dont look like crap?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] myl0h:
With the 1.4.1+ updates, you are not able to sideload apk files. The thing is, 8gb is shipped with 1.4.2 so there is no way to revert even if you wanted to.

There is a method to root your 8gb NT, credits to jichuan89

I personally never tried it, I have the 16gb one :P

hi there i am i girl who loves gadgets now need some help with the OTA to android 4

i have a sensation which my ex rooted and de branded for me (he was the one who did all these type of things as i'm not geek enough to do myself ;)) it was orange and now it's stock 1.45.401.2 with a CID of orang001. Before we broke up he said he was going to update my phone to android 4 but never got round to it, now on the HTC facebook page i see some people have got an OTA update but why haven't i?

i live in the UK and thought i'd we would have it by now. when i go into setting and search for update the phone says it's up to date

when i power it down and hold the volume down the screen goes white and says

HBOOT 1.17.1111

Radio 10.14.9035.01_M

S-Off

what am i doing wrong? i want android 4!!!

if you can't simply answer my question have you got a link to your post?
[HTC Sensation] benyben123:
The best advice you can get is probably this: wait a little longer for OFFICIAL ICS which will be pushed via the update. Since it will be official, and via the update, it will be delivered ready to go straight from HTC.

Beware: if you start delving into these forums just to get ICS, you are in for a ride of your life. If you are not into this kind of "fun", i would recommend just waiting for official, which is just hours/days away.

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I think that if your s-off and rooted you will not be able to upgrade official ics

Which might cause a soft brick not sure perhaps someone confirm this..
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
No you can't ota but you can update follow my post and you'll be fine
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Not at all. It's pretty easy:

S-Off/Root

Flash new Firmware

Flash New Rom

Each step has detailed guides and can be accomplished in 20 to 25 minutes each - the firmware only taking 3 minutes. Just make sure you follow directions, carefully. As in, really, very carefully. If you're unsure of something, don't do it.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
That's reach, guys......

So many replies and none specific.... Why to bother answering at all???

To get ICS OTA you need to be stock. S-off does not matter, root also.

Has to have a stock recovery and 1.50.401.1 for original or 1.73.401.4 for XE.

Although, if you want to install custom ICS, you have to read Dev section for specific requirements of the ROM of your choice....I read a lot good reviews for almost all of the ICS ROMS.

And here is something to keep in mind:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23427200&postcount=1

Otherwise EddyOS will be really upset...LOL

Have to find a RUU for your particular phone and flush it to bring everything back to original condition (will be un-rooted, but S-off will remain).

Good luck!!!
[HTC Sensation] craven667:

I like gadgets but I'm in no way interested in plugging cables in my phone and doing the technical stuff. Don't tell me to read or learn from the forum's. I have no interest in it. I just asked a simple question...

Also don't sent me private messages either professing what a guy like you could do for me for me, have some respect. I won't name and shame you as unlike half you horrid little no-lifers, I have what's known as class.
[HTC Sensation] Sushifiend:
Not sure you're doing anything wrong. As far as I can tell, only Vodafone sensations in the UK have had an OTA update. The rest of us who still have stock ROMs are not-so-patiently waiting.

[HTC Sensation] Drewstein:
Bottom line, you can't update to ICS unless someone follows some steps on the forum to either A: Return the RUU to stock or B: Flashes an ICS Rom for you.

He sounds like a smart guy, too bad it didn't workout.

You may have someone in a circle of friends that's familiar with rooting etc. Hit them up to do the labor.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
That's awesome man. So many people think this stuff's hard because they didn't read the guides.
[HTC Sensation] hot gadget girl:
I have a question... my phone is stock the RUU as you've called it is from HTC. I downloaded an app "CID Getter" from Play/Market and it tells me my ROM is 1.45.401.2 which if I'm correct is official. My CID is orang001 then as i scroll down it says main CID HTC_001 so why has this not updated to 1.50.401.1 for example?

For all the time I been here, I asked maybe 5 questions..... when I got real brain dead and couldn't figure out on my own.... So, read, read until your eyes bleed.... and then read some more....LOL
[HTC Sensation] Rackfoo:
Agreed. It is really not that difficult if you are willing to take your time, READ and learn. I went from a complete noob to a crackflasher in a couple of weeks. Most of the XDA community is extremely helpful and will walk you thru almost any problem. I don't really understand why people would be on this board discouraging you from learning about your phone. The only way to learn is to take a chance and try to modify your phone .

Btw- make sure that you Super CID and install 4EXT recovery before you flash a rom. There are multiple guides that can walk you through everything step by step. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
You created the screen name "hot gadget girl". That's straight up creeper bait.

You really didn't think that you might possibly attract some creepers on this forum with that name? Come on. Ha!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, that sounds like you're on the EU unbranded ROM but (as you know) not the latest one. Now I'm guessing the phone was originally from Orange (hence the CID) but it the CID now HTC__001 or HTC_001? (if the letter then that's why it won't work as it's not the right CID

You need to use two underscores with the CID to be the correct unbranded CID, otherwise my guide I posted will tell you exactly what you need to do BUT will mean losing all your data so I can understand why you don't want to go down that route!
[HTC Sensation] hot gadget girl:
Well the CID does look to be HTC__001 (a double underscore) but this is the main CID but I have another which is at the top of the screen which is ORANG001

I also installed terminal emulator and typed in getprop ro.cid and that also says ORANG001, so what do I do next?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The apps will show the original cid but if you check using fastboot and it shows 11111111 then you have super cid

Just looked, harder, at Prey and installed it on my dinc. Had heard about it, but never really messed with it, but upon hearing that it has SD card encryption I decided to give it a spin. Then I got to thinking. What if Prey also remotely ran Droidwall, in addition to changing the lock screen pattern? Revoke all permissions in Droidwall and hide the icon? Would basically render the phone inoperable, cutting off the data connection completely. And Droidwall doesn't advertise when it blocks a packet, you have to go into the app and look at the log to see it's activities.

So, am I pissing in the wind, or is does this sound useful?
