[HTC Sensation] deejayry:
A couple of weeks ago, I installed the ICS update on my sensation.

Initially I was impressed, nice look, New features and so on.

Now I'm really starting to regret performing the update. So far I have found the following issues.

1. On boot the "Upgrading Android... Optimizing applications" message appears every time

2. eBay app forgets login details & settings

3. Internet browser is slow, zooming & panning is choppy and random browser shutdowns

4. "Process system is not responding" error message often shows after booting

5. Ringtones & notifications keep returning to default

6. Backlight becoming stuck at max, this still occurs with log graph brightness tool

7. Battery life is considerably worse than before, I'm now lucky to get a through an 8 hour day with the phone just idling in my pocket plus the occasional call or email.

8. Sometimes phone will just shut down when battery charge is around 50%, will not fully restart, when plugging in to charger and booting battery level is 2-5%, this often happens when launching Draw Something & sometimes just web browsing.

As you can imagine this is somewhat annoying. Having owned HTC phones for a long time, having had bad experiences with a touch pro2, I started to loose faith in HTC, then I got the sensation, it was brilliant, now since installing ICS I'm beginning to loose faith again.

Anyone know what I might be able to do to sort this out?

My handset is for the Asian market and I'm on orange UK, it has the stock Rom & has never been rooted or anything else like that.
[HTC Sensation] sbdags:
My mate had exactly the same issues. I advised him to do a factory reset which he reports has resolved all the issues. :)

I advise you try the same.
[HTC Sensation] deejayry:
Thanks, today the phone became almost unusable unless plugged in to the charger so I called HTC support, they advised the same, which didn't fix it, so I called again and was advised to clear the cache partition. It seems to be fine now, although the browser performance is still a bit poor.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Cache partition? how?
[HTC Sensation] deejayry:
Here's the instructions sent to me by the HTC tech support guy

Clear Cache Instructions

# With the phone turned off, long press the Volume Down key, and then briefly press the Power key.

# Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the Volume down key.

# Press the Volume down key Once to highlight Recovery, and then press the Power key.

# The Device should then restart and you should be able to see a picture of your phone with a red exclamation mark

# Once you see this screen press and hold the Volume Up button, and then briefly press the power key.

# Release the volume UP Button and then press Volume down four times to select CLEAR CACHE PARTITION.

# Press the Power button once to select this. The device will then go through and delete it, after a minuet or so a New menu should pop up.

# Press the power button once you can see Restart phone.

I tried custom and stock roms, ringtone issue is a big fail for google.. randomly changing notifcation and ringtone volumes to default.. and sometimes ringing with a weird tone which is not default, I have never heard lol..
[HTC Sensation] geov03:
ics bug

I have the same problem, my sensation get random shutdowns after charge goes below 50%, nowadays it is totally unstable at low battery levels.Also even if battery level is more than 50%,phone shuts down if i take a photo with flash on.I wiped out the 'cache partition' as described, but the problem exist, please help.........
[HTC Sensation] deejayry:
Ok its been a while since the problem first happened & I should probably have posted my findings. I found the problem to be caused by using cheap aftermarket batteries from eBay, on switching back to the genuine HTC battery the problem seems to have been completely solved.

I've since tried to use the aftermarket battery & it started dropping out again.

Hope this is of some help to you all.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
The reboot issue may be solved by sliding a piece of paper between the top of the battery an phone. It's a loose connection issue. Aftermarket batteries tend not to fit as well. There are guides as to how to do it. I can't link them as I'm on my phone. That *should* solve reboot issues.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSLWRTHNUx:
Hey guys. I made a video showing what I mean but that didn't work out. I'll try and explain it the best I can.

So I have an HTC Evo 3D rooted with Revolutionary with S-Off. The phone was working fine until recently. I have ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0

When I go into CWM (power + volume down), it loads fine but won't let me access any menus. When I scroll down and select any option, the list just goes away and the CWM logo is all that's on my screen. If I click power again, the menu comes back. No matter what I select, this happens, even power down. The only way to reset my phone is to pull the battery.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? If there is an issue with the version, is there a way to upgrade/downgrade versions?

I would really like to load things from my SD card again.

Thanks in advanced,

Kyle

Hi, I have bought the htc evo 3d three months ago and I rooted it at May...yesterday I've tried to install a rom and then it stucks..the clockwork mod doesn't work and now I can't power it on....what can I do???Is there way to fix that or not?? Please find a way....

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantweta:
I have exactly the same problem with my ZTE Blade, CWM5.0.2.0

I can navigate through the home menu OK, but selecting any option only results in a blank screen with the CWM logo in the middle.

A button press takes me back to the home menu again.

Any ideas anyone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
My phone started dieing overnight and I was really confused because I could've sworn I had a lot of like left when I went to bed. So I did a test tonight...

Charged to 100% at 10:30pm

All background application closed, ram cleared

Wifi and GPS off

Results: after 8.5 hours of doing nothing, I lost over 75% battery.

Screenshots are below...WTF is happening with my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Looks like something is keeping it from deep sleep. Download cpuspy and see if that is the case. When you click on phone stand by what does it say?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Like this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
It just says Time on 8h XXm XXs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Looks like Google talk is keeping it awake. Never used GT before so not sure if that is normal. I am having similar (but not as drastic) with ms exchange keeping mine in awake state. I am using ics alpha 2 Rom and did not have this issue on stock GB. What Rom are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
It also looks like your cell signal isn't all that great so it's constantly pinging. Not sure about that though. Do you need data all the time? I use 2x battery so it severs data. Saves a **** ton of battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I noticed the Google Talk but I never use it, and it's installed on my phone, but I can find a way to uninstall it anywhere. It also doesn't give me an option to log out either.

Oh and I'm running the ICS alpha 2 ROM. I don't recall having this problem with GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HIR3D:
I use the ICS -1 Click Odin leak (In progress of getting a better ICS loaded) but I have noticed that I run into a lot of Battery life problems when I am sleeping... If I leave my phone unplugged overnight it always dies, I have to charge it. It's weird... Because I can be on it all day with amazing Battery life, then it just dies over night with a full charge of not even being in use...

I probably need to run some analytics to see what is killing it in the first place... I always force close my apps though...

This happens on any OS, GB, or ICS...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I had the same problem which is why I went back to GB. Remember this is an ATT leak of an unfinished ROM. they have all sorts of unfinished code and debugging running that it's bound to cause these issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
BINGO!!! Just checked some screen capture from battery stats from GB and my cell strength was no ways near as bad as it is on ICS. Need to see if any fixes are out there. It almost all tan for signal strength on ICS vs all green in GB. Same locales for both samples.

by the way, i was getting between 1 day to 1.5 days on rooted GB oc'd to 1.84 with 4 hours screen time. Did not ever see exchange using any noticeable % of battery. Now getting 15 hours with 2 hours screen time and exchange using 6% of the battery. Not going back yet because the pro's out weigh the con's. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
Well that would suck if the ICS radio is a step backwards over the GB radio....

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Yep, it seems like the partial wakelocks are getting you.

It will go into deep sleep but then go up to 384 off and on.

Gtalk looks like the biggest culprit.

Like I said if data is off it shouldn't have wakelocks.

Another test you could do tonight is the exact same but put it in airplane mode.

It shouldn't budge much.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I managed to find a way to log out of google talk, so I'll test it under the same conditions tonight to see if that changes anything.

Airplane mode overnight is not an option for me since I need cell service in case of emergency calls. Generally, I do notice slightly worse reception of the previous GB ROM, so the modem might be questionable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
Understood about the calls. You can get calls and texts without data though. That's why I was recommending 2x battery which is like juice defender I think. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en

I realized I really don't need data unless I 'want' data. I do push my emails but they won't push until I turn on data. Saves a lot of battery, especially when on LTE.....

It works well for me because you can set a delay for the data. So you can turn on your screen (not unlock) and see if you got any new texts. If not, put it back in my pocket. All without data coming on. I do these quick checks all time...

Then there is a delay time you can set after you unlock.

I have mine set to 3 min. If I do get a text, I will unlock, read it and maybe respond quickly, then put it back in my pocket. As long as its not mms that's all done without data.

If I need to get data prior to the 3min there is a notification to connect the data.

I'm coming from the thunderbolt and we had to REALLY find all the tricks to save battery life. As it given to us by HTC and Verizon it was unacceptable.

At any rate, sorry for the wind there. If you're wondering, I have no association with 2X battery. I just like to spread the word when I find an app that is useful and has helped me out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I used to use juice defender but a couple things were a deal breaker for me:

1) First was that it rendered Cerberus almost completely useless. I could not get the phone to connect using the web interface at cerberusapp.com since the phone had no data with the screen off. Sure I could have used the SMS method of activation, but I don't have another phone to text from and it just isn't as flexible as the website.

2) Every time I unlocked the phone, I had to wait 10+ seconds for data to fully reconnect before I can start using stuff. When I unlock the phone, it's usually to check something very quick, and if I'm stuck waiting, I'd rather suffer the battery loss than to wait a bunch of times.

I suspect every battery saver app has this issue, and they can probably be configured to work to my needs, but I just don't have the time and patience to be tinkering with stuff like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
JD Ultimate has an option that allows foreground apps to force enable/disable data, which is an easy thing to set. Also, my experience with JD is that data reconnects as soon as I unlock the phone and before I can launch an app. Battery saver apps are definitely frustrating, but I find that the correct settings fix 95% of the annoyances.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I hear ya on the time thing. Just thought I'd over up that tidbit. I don't seem to have much of a delay. 2x does allow for whitelisting apps you want to run like Pandora.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Google Talk is like any other VoiP service, it will have a heartbeat that needs to talk back to the mothership every so many seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
Yup, that's exactly why I don't want it. If I rarely/never use the app, I don't want it constantly connected wasting my battery and data. I wish there was an easy way to turn that off. I've been reading on Google and there were posts from 1-2 years ago that said signing out of gtalk doesn't help with the wakelock, so we shall see tonight when I test it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Actually, there is (sort of). Purchase an app called Autostarts on the market. Open it, wait for it to finish loading, hit the menu button, then tap the 'group by application' option.

Then, scroll thru the list to Google Talk and tap it. This will expand a bunch of different conditions that Google Talk automatically starts under. Disabling every condition will cause the app to never automatically start in the background (but the app will still launch if you manually launch it). Since I dont currently have root, I cant see what the conditions are, but you might need to leave one or two enabled if you need to receive incoming calls.

Reboot your phone after making any changes.

I should also mention that if you manually launch the app, you need to remember to manually close the app if this is what you assume is causing the battery drain.

If nothing else, you can use Autostarts to help determine if Gtalk is what is causing the issue by just disabling everything for it and watching battery drain rate.

I also use another app called Battery Widget Pro by 3c which will tell you everything about the battery and what exactly is causing it to drain.

What I would do is disable everything unless it looks like its something for receiving calls (if you need to receive calls that is) and reboot the phone, then test it by using another phone to call your Google # and make sure it works.

The point is tho to disable everything you can. I personally use Autostarts to disable every user app that doesnt either have a widget or a scheduled process that needs to run in the background to perform its task. Helps a crap ton with battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
So looks like signing out of google talk did not help anything :( looking at more detail in the better battery stats it might be google maps that's causing all the wakeups
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
In 'my locations' do you have 'use wireless networks' checked on?

As I recall that has been known to cause battery issues.

I leave it off because i really don't need it for my use. If I need maps, I turn on gps and use that. Other apps that might use it aren't important to me.

I'd try the test with no data next. That would let you know if the cell signal alone is the (or a) culprit. Although I couldn't see it being that problematic.

I'm following this thread because its always good to find out about battery life.

Yesterday I got about 3.5 hours of screen time with 15% left. That is with a few reboots because I was trying to fix something. I'd be happy with that but always wanting to extend it a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
Enabling Latitude will cause some wakeups, but not drain battery like you're seeing. Something else is going on, IMO. I assume you've double checked your CPU speed and governor?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
I am still havingissues with exchange
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ahmarchi:
Mine is being weird as well....lost 11 percent I'd 19 minute of using...this is insane I'm on gb saurom 7.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Going to try one more wipe everything (starting with factory reset within ICS). Flash again. Then factory reset. Then back to cwm and wipe all cache again and see what happens. Looks like exchange and email are not ice cream lovers:-(. This will be 4th flash with different attempts at wiping everything. First time resting from within ICS. Crossing fingers as this is the only thing melting my ice cream.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reclaim:
If that doesn't work, try downloading an app called "battery eta". It will tell you if your battery is in good health or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I'm willing to bet at this point the cell signal is the problem. I am tonight I'm going to turn off data only and try it again.

I'm starting to think it's the location in my room where I put the phone overnight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
I noticed a big difference in reception from GB to ICS also. I flashed the old UCLA 1 radio from GB and now I'm starting to not drop do many calls. The main reason I switched to AT&T was reception at work since sprint didn't cut the mustard. Try flashing old radio, it helped me out a lot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
That would suck if it is the signal....I know on my last on VZW I couldn't lay back on my bed and talk on my phone. That end had interference but the foot of the bed didn't. Just plain weird that a few feet did that.

I couldn't see any 'other' interferences that would have caused it. Not sure if I've tried this on the note (ATT) yet. However, every time I check the signal in usage it's green all the way across. I'm still stock GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
3 different batteries. All new. All getting over 1 day use with up to 4 hours screen on time and usually 2 to 3 hours of listening to music (which keeps it out of deep sleep) on GB. Flash ICS and now get less than 15 hours with less than 2 hours screen on. It is something to do with exchange and some to do with signal strength. Will do wipes and see. No change then restore from android backup and check battery life. If no difference then will try the app you recommend. Finding it hard to believe that all 3 crapped out at the same time though.

Edit: currently on 5 hours with 30% battery left and exchange running amok......here we go on the reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Ok reFlashed and somethings were different after the flash. First thing was on this flash i got a pop screen asking me which launcher i wanted to use: apex,tw or milock? ???? This didn't happen once on any of the other flashes. 2nd the initial tw lockup never occurred. and exchange setup went a lot smoother/quicker on download. with this battery usage after 2 hours. Will evaluate for a while to see what happens. Just glad there isn't any exchange related battery usage showing like it used to Not show on GB. Exchange was the first thing i set up after flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
After the flash, I only downloaded my most commonly used apps (like 15-20 max)...and re-did the email setups along with the SMS restore stuff.

After several days, battery life seems to be about the same as when it was still on stock GB.

However, the signal bars does seem weaker, but I never actually lose reception (like it seem it should).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
Well I messed up the test by leaving WiFi on overnight but noticed something interesting. WiFi on had not so much drain, but for some reason WiFi quit breifly this morning (router does this sometimes) and the battery dropped after that.

I'm convinced its the signal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
When wifi dropped to did it switch over to 3g/4g/lte (wherever you are)?

I've always read that wifi uses less juice.

It is a weak cell signal. Does a weak data signal consume more juice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Well so far so good. Over 17 hours battery with heavy use. 4+ hours screen time. Plus flashing, download of apps, and 2 hours of music play while mowing my yard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I think tonight I'm going to try leaving my phone in another spot (WiFi off) and see how battery life works out. Then tomorrow I'm going to flash the gingerbread modem and see if it helps at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edaley:
my battery is awesome on ICS

Probably could have ended up with close to 2 days usage but i like charging it everyday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
If your stock the radio should be good, do you have a lot of background services going like email Facebook weather etc? That stuff can be a huge drain. I work 12 hours a day and it is in my pocket for 14-15hrs and I still have above 40 even when I check my phone through the night, the screen is the biggest drain for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
That's just it, I actually avoid any apps like that in general because of it's affect on battery life. The only service I'm actively using is Gmail.

At work or even around the house, battery life is great, maybe even better than gingerbread. When I put it down next to my bed when I go to bed (at 100%) it is HORRIBLE! That's whats making me think the location of the phone is an issue for phone signal. It's right up against a brick wall on it's left side, and kind of under my bed on the right side.

how do you flash gb modem?
