I've wiped, and than installed the TMOUS stock rom but sadly, the touchscreen is still unresponsive.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
That is very wired and I would say it's hardware but you said in recovery the touchscreen works. kind of out of option to try how about recovery. did you start from scratch including fresh install of recovery?

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] Nilsb7:
Yes.

Also 1 out of 100 times when I touch the screen after turning it on, it recognizes a touch (which would lead me to believe it's an hardware error aswell), but it's way too short to slide during this millisecond of time it responds.

btw I know for sure it's only the touchscreen "freezing" because I use an app called Cool Tool which displays a graph in the notification bar which gets updated every second.

Update by a helpfull reddit user:

"Some of the Sensations shipped with faulty digitizers. Mine did, and I had an experience somewhat like yours -- touch would work but would be kind of erratic, except in recovery it'd be perfect.

If you're still under warranty, I would recommend restoring everything to stock and doing an exchange. If you happen to have anything that looks like dust under the screen that's a known issue and a quick route to getting a replacement."

My thanks to everyone in this thread (don't worry I've hit the thanks button plenty of times today) who tried to help.

I have given up on trying to fix this issue through software solutions. Time to contact Customer support.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Just flash the Europe ruu and return it. That's what I did 2 times since I had to send away for repair (2 times dust between gorilla glass and screen) on my Voda NL Sensation.

Good luck :)
[HTC Sensation] Nilsb7:
Allright I'll try this in case I have to.

I've found a possible solution over here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239238

1. Discharge the phone all the way (until it shuts down).

2. Remove the battery and press the power button (as if you were trying to turn the phone on).

3. Leave the phone without the battery overnight (or for at least an hour).

4. Put the battery back and charge the phone without touching the screen.

This seems plausible to me since I've had a very strange issue yesterday where I got shocked while charging my phone over USB connected to my PC at a friends house. Not sure how this works exactly but the possible sollution seems worth a try.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Hope it works for you.

Getting electric shocks from your phone is not good. Something could have been fried which could be causing your strange problem.
[HTC Sensation] Nilsb7:
Yea what's weird though the touchscreen malfunction started the day after, maybe I've hit the phone to hard while sleeping, who knows...
[HTC Sensation] uw748:
Hey, donno if this helps but my touch screen was not responsive immediately after waking. So I flashed a matching RIL for my radio and now I can easily slide the ring to unlock (before it would just let go of the ring if I slid it slightly to the right).

My radio came with the 3.32.709 firmware which is the 69A, so I matched it with 4.0017 (afaik opensensation recommends firmware 3.32.401 w/ radio69 and RIL4.0013).

Check out the thread for your radio/RIL match and see if it helps.

I think I'm going to read up on how android actually works because I have no clue where firmware/radio are saved an why they don't get reset when you wipe all partitions except the sd-card.

Thanks for the hint.
[HTC Sensation] BookCase:
No data/no wifi!!

Doing a full wipe of the phone and re-installing the latest nightly did not fix the data issue so, i reverted to the 06/18 nightly and my data came back. All was great for a bit, then I was in 7-11 and the guy that works there was asking me about the S-On/S-Off and boot loaders and such. I rebooted into the boot loader to explain some things to him and then rebooted again from there, now, the data will not connect again. Not sure what is causing this but, it's very aggravating.

**Update: Wiped Cache + Dalvik to no avail. Did full wipe + format of all but sdcard to no avail. Flash back to the 06/15 Nightly to no avail.

Did full wipe and reformat f all but the sdcard, flashed a whole different ROM (17|6 Extreme Sensation Power™ |LightningAOSP|Fast|Stable|CM9|Responsive|Apollo) and still, have no data connection and no wifi. Please, HELP!!!

***UPDATE 2: Wiped Everything, Flashed "ELEGANCIA™ Rom Series-Sense 4|v1.0.0|", Re-Flashed Firmware + RIL - Now Everything Works.

I'll just wait for the RC, I suppose. I need my data.

And, out of curiosity, What is the issue with Superwipe and why not use it?
[HTC Sensation] waltthizzney:
my touchscreen did not work either with this build…. works fine in recovery tho… is it the build or the kernal? can i use the kernal in the main Open Sensation build?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Touchscreen driver issue or something similar?

You mean TamCore's kernel? If so, append mpdecision and thermald with *.bak. Although the updater script should take care of it. As a precaution you should also make a nandroid just in case. Better save then sorry ;)
[HTC Sensation] Vorbeth:
Nothing has changed in relation to touch screen for month's

Either in the kernel or device tree's

All Pyramid AOSP kernels are using the exact same touch screen code.

As for it working in recovery, last I knew that uses an older GB kernel (IRC), it also has basic drivers implemented to allow touch screen use (no multi-touch etc)

So you can't compare recovery function with rom function.
[HTC Sensation] uw748:
Hi Vorbeth, so could the RIL file have anything to do with the touch screen? Because I noticed a matching radio/RIL solved my issue for unresponsive touch screen immediately after wake.
[HTC Sensation] soza971:
Does anyone tried this "Adreno_ICS_Update" with this rom?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
The newer OpenGL extensions/driver?

Been running 1.18v2 on OS with no problems. So it should work on CM9 as well. Note, I don't use videocalling/instagram.
[HTC Sensation] soza971:
yeah it's the last one i gonna try it right now, about kernel wich one you guys using?
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:

Anyone know why the nightly build is broken (not downloadeble)? The latest is from 21/06/2012 ?

No, its 23/06.

[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
For some reason only downloadeble via jenkins (last link) BUT I don't know is a good version. These nigthly's are auto builds ...
[HTC Sensation] Ultramanoid:
Yup, only Jenkins delivers. Will know soon enough if the build is good or not... :eek:
[HTC Sensation] daddoso:

[HTC Sensation] soza971:
i dont like torrents , i already downloaded it from jenkins site
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
using torrent and it's just sitting there.

EDIT: scratch that, it's now working. just took 10 minutes :D
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:

fresh start

Hi,

I wiped my phone and started from scrach ... this is what I did:

Factory reset/full wipe (via recovery)

Installed CM9 nightly build from 21/06/2012

Installed latest gaps

Installed bricked latest kernel (see here)

:good: working like a charm !
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
It was likely coincidental.

I can't receive MMS with this rom is that a known bug? ( i use go sms)
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Anyone else losing mobile data the rom works great until a few hours then data drops I wiped caches and rebooted to even more problems... Post edit my ril and radio were not matching up... Get ril app from the market rocks btw
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
wifi sleep

Anyone know how to get wifi to sleep.

I've already tried the WIFI advanced settings that allow WIFI to go to sleep when screen is off but this has no effect.

Is the WIFI sleep handled by the kernel or CM9 ?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Wifi sleeps fine for me.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
RIL has NOTHING to do with touchscreen, never will. RIL deals with radio.

Might want to google ;)

MMS works fine for me, provide a logcat or no help for you!
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Does ril change with rom ? sorry if this is off topic
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
How do you check this ? dmesg or something else ?

[HTC Sensation] joe.attaboy:
Worked fine for me. Flashed it last night.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Can you share your compiled RIL as I cannot solve this issue. Maybe even push it to the CM git. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Should already be in the nightlies? (Unless blahblah made modifications, which I doubt)
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Read back to the post I replied to. This issue persists even after a full wipe. Seems to only affect T-Mobile US users (maybe even select handsets). Tried everything from a full wipe to enabling settings in the build.prop.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
I did but thought blahblah meant the signal is better with the ril coming with CM9.
[HTC Sensation] lowsnamebrand:
I'm on tmo and I think your right about select handsets because I haven't had any issues(knock on wood)

[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Well you did say that you were looking into it and it seemed a compiled libril.so works better. This lead me to think that you compiled a new one that was working better. Currently right now, no libril.so is able to fix this be it CM9 or other.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
To be honest, nothing is different than the one that tamcore or vorbeth compiled in their builds. Maybe the difference I had was that I included back the build.prop lines just to match shooteru.

You can check if it's different by the size maybe. Mine was around 97kb not sure

[HTC Sensation] Whyzor:
I don't have this device yet, but to those who say the touchscreen works in recovery mode, but not in ROM sounds like a HW problem. Are you referring to the CAPACITIVE soft buttons on the bottom as the touchscreen? Those two are separate hardware and drivers.
[HTC Sensation] dakdroid:
Had it running unwiped a day still buggy. After wiping and reflashing i didnt have any audio routing prob since then. Maybe i didnt trigger it but i was using the phone just like every day. Thanks for the wiping advice.

It depends when they froze the code base for RC, but I'd say more or less exactly the same issues. It's still a nice milestone to fall back on if the nightlies introduce some quirkiness though.

Agree, no 1080p yet which is a pretty big issue.

Tis sad and a little odd.

Obv does nothing to dispel the Samsung preference rumour.

I'm back on ARHD as I think CM9 is just a little rough and buggy atm. I suspect its not going to improve much..
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Nevermind after a few tries it finally worked:)
[HTC Sensation] rstonex:
Wanting a decent CM build has been the worst part of owning a Sensation. We got a shoddy CM7 that had battery drain issues and wasn't updated again, and kmobs teasing of a CM9 build that never appeared. Now, we've got a RC that doesn't deserve that status with the bugs that it still has, and maintainer politics seem to be another thing holding it back.

Frustrating, because the hardware is really nice.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Reason why as soon as tmobile puts up the 1900 frequency and it's approved I'm going iphone. I love the sensation but the fact is we probably won't ever get the support needed by the cm maintainers

Been running cm9 rc1 for a day. So far so good, quite stable, hadnt had any battery drain yet. Phone running at 1.5ghz w/bricked. Currently 60% left with 2 hours screen time. Total time is 10 hours.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
If they want to be mainline CM devs, all they have to do is communicate with one of the higher ups like Steve Kondik. They post requests all of the time for devs to openly communicate with them through the proper channels.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Ive been having terrible data problems with RC1 and the latest os nightly, idk if its the roms or T-Mobile's network anybody else having issues like this?
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
I was but then my issue went away today and I have no idea why. I'm currently running the 06/25 build with Bricked 1.31. Might be T-Mobile as only a few users are affected.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Yeah ive heard:) i was thinking the same thing because it does and can happen so hopefully T-Mobile is working on a fix asap!
[HTC Sensation] Vorbeth:
Blame HTC for using crappy drivers.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
He did not sell and is currently not doing any dev work for anything.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Exactly and while Vorbeth has it working in OS, it doesn't stick with CM/Google standards. The idea is to build code that will be forwards compatible and will not cause apps to break unnecessarily. Quite frankly, as someone who has used CM since version 3 this is only going to be the first of many release candidates before going stable. Please keep in mind that not all phones will reach stable at the same time.
[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
I've been recently using the nightlies for the past week or two and now I have quite a few apps in the Play Store saying they aren't compatible, especially live wallpapers. I just flashed RC1 today and still have the same problem.

Can someone point me to a fix or reason for this?
[HTC Sensation] joe.attaboy:
I've never had this happen, but you might try fixing permissions in the recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Vorbeth:
It's caused by a missing permissions xml.

It's fixed in OS but I have yet to push it to gerrit for inclusion in CM.
[HTC Sensation] joe.attaboy:
I'm a bit baffled about the amount of complaining in the last day or two about the development on this device. Maybe my approach is different, and maybe I'm just old and set in my ways, but I've never had an issue with where CM9 development is or is going. Hell, I dropped CM3 or 4 or whatever it was on my old T-Mobile G1, and once I realized i didn't brick my phone, I never looked back.

Look, it's a phone. It's just a cell phone when you get down to it. There are lots of devices that use this ROM, and a lot of people voluntarily trying to keep it alive. The fact that vorbeth and others keep making the little tweaks and changes makes me appreciate them and the phone a lot; those of you who have tried to survive in the iPhone "walled garden" know that Apple hardware users have to jump through a whole lot of hoops just to be able to do what we do on Android devices.

If you're not happy with the phone, get something new...you have the choice, right? Again, the Apple lemmings don't have that the way we Android geeks do. If you wish something worked better, learn to develop and fix it. I'm a developer by trade, but I don't have the spare time (or the gear right now) to be able to do it myself. I'm glad there are people who do, and if getting something fixed takes a while, so be it.

Hell, it wan't that long ago that I was dropping 35mm canisters into the back of a camera to get a lousy 36 pictures, which I had to have developed, crossing my fingers that I created something worth looking at. IMHO, the camera on the Sensation works pretty well most of the time. If you want better, buy a dedicated camera, right?

I just appreciate that we can do what we want with these devices. Sense, no Sense,

CM stripped bare, OpenSensation, nightlies, whatever. I'm always looking forward to the next tweak.

OK, mild rant mode off. Just had to say it.
[HTC Sensation] xCALLmeKING:
I think people are getting miffed at how long CM9 has taken to get here. I have been doing this since JesusFreke made the G1 famous. I remember when the reins were handed over to Cyanogen.

I personally have found it impressive to see the Sensation go from ARHD/LeeDroid/InsertCoin, to NonSense/NoSense, to Hypersensation and to finally see the light of CM9/AOSP/AOKP and their iterations. What a ****ing journey man...

I for one appreciate what these developers have done. They have done their best to bring us the CM9 experience. Has it taken long?...sure! Six months ago people were saying we wouldn't even see CM9. Soon they're gonna be wondering when CM10 is coming...
