[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I'm on the Sep 10th build.

I've taken 12 phone calls today and have spent nearly 3 hours on the phone. The battery life is pretty good. I'm down to 57% right now, which is pretty good considering that 3 hours of phone calls would normally drop the battery more for me. I'd expect to be at 30% by now. Plus I've had lots of text messages and voice mails left.

I noticed I'm now having the same issue as others with the call volume. The rocker does literally nothing as far as call volume. I had to move the phone away from my ear for a few of the calls because they were simply too loud with no way to adjust the volume.

The phone is stable and fast. Charging off USB seems slower than normal, especially when the screen is on. But turning the screen off or charging by AC seems to be normal. Maybe the screen is eating a lot more power than before.

Video playback is good. Haven't had any random reboots like I used to while playing video. I haven't tried youtube yet. But playing video with local files (MP4s and WMVs) seem fine when playing with MX Player.

I still hate restarting because I have to keep resetting my widgets, but there's only 2 so that's not a deal breaker.

I noticed that sometimes GNow doesn't initialize right away. Yesterday I waited a good 20-30 seconds before it let me speak. I told it to navigate somewhere and it just kept doing a google search instead of opening maps to the address. Normally I don't have this trouble, but it just wouldn't do what it's supposed to. I don't know if that's a Gapps issue or what, but it was rebelling or something.

Finally, I don't know if this is JB issue or a T-mobile issue, but the visual voice mail doesn't work. I can't get it to sync or download the voice mails; manually or automatic. I've been dialing into my voice mail for the time being. I'm currently assuming it's a T-mobile programming thing.

So basically:

Fast and smooth

Video works

No random reboots

Call volume doesn't work

Battery life is good
[HTC Sensation] runnerman4:
You should have google voice run your voicemail, I like it so much more than the TmoUS Visual Voicemail...
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Can confirm call volume doesn't work. In fact I noticed something else. If you make a call and hit the volume rocker then expand the volume list, turn them all up to 100% then drop 'speaker' right down, 'in call' volume drops down a notch on its own?

Getting crashes from the camcorder after filming then trying to watch said video in 'video player' right away. I'll try and get a logcat of it, if no one has already?
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
When you make or receive a call try tap the loudspeaker button and tap again, the volume will get lower. The volume buttons still won't work but you can move your phone close to your ear again :)
[HTC Sensation] TheUndertaker21:
no sound when set up alarm ? that is weird
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Turn the alarm sound down then back up again
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Yep, just tried this.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
SystemUI working good too? That's the only thing pushing me away from this.
[HTC Sensation] Sensation-al!:
I haven't had issues
[HTC Sensation] Deegan87:
Through Google Voice, or is ygere sine ither method of which I am unaware?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I wish T-Mobile allowed visual voicemail for prepaid but they don't. They won't even allow Google voice to transfer it.
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Logcats during and after the camcorder crash. It's coming up with "cannot connect to camera"...
[HTC Sensation] tellyizking:
Volume Settings for media don't stick after unplugging and no front camera sorry to be rude but i think all is good enough to be focusing time on front camera or your great kernel

Best ROM for sensation ever whatever your decision I'm sticking with this ROM thanks forever Bruce
[HTC Sensation] kypeth:
**** the front camera, cannot say it's a longshot to assume that the dev does not need your shining illumination of where you determine his time to be most valuable.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
They're are no modifications in SystemUI its straight from the source. I've decompiled the SystemUI several times and there is nothing wrong with it.
[HTC Sensation] muzairnawaz:
which kernel is better for this ROM??
[HTC Sensation] bord1er1:
Waiting for a update can't wait

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
:crying: Oh my goodness. Just use the one that comes with the ROM and give it a fair shot.

Surely this will make Bruce work faster now that he knows ;) pfft.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Its called being spoiled:p
[HTC Sensation] bord1er1:
It will light the fire under his ass hahaha :D

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
There's 3 pages of open commits I want to test, I'll wait till they are merged though in case they break anything, but it looks like they are making big changes
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Yeah I noticed the same thing:)
[HTC Sensation] deboopi2:
I had the same issue before, now updated to 9/10 release no changes, updated firefox to 15.01 and problem solved, so I think it was a firefox issue.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Which is why I'm perfectly fine on 9/8. I don't doubt 9/10 is better but I've seen what's being put out and I figure it's only a matter of time. Plus I'm enjoying tinkering with the framework and SystemUI.
[HTC Sensation] takuhii:
Why are 99% of the commits aimed at Samsung, or does HTC just use a LOT of Samsung hardware in their phones?

Sorry this is a little off topic, but Bruce is about the only JB developer that talks about and highlights the commits he's using ;)
[HTC Sensation] insestito:
what custom kernels can i use ? i only found "DragunKorr" for CM 10.

Thanks! :good:
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
You could try this one http://files.tamcore.eu/android/?dir=tamcore-kernel

I use it purely for the sweep2wake function.
[HTC Sensation] Maheshwara:
Is this information still valid? Can I flash this CM10 over my CM9 without doing a full wipe?

Only found the info that full wipe is necessary if coming from another ROM - but is CM9 considered as "other ROM"? Don't know...
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Cm9 is ICS 4.0 and cm10 is JB 4.1 so of course a full wipe is needed
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Because Samsung gave the CM team a bunch of phones so everything gets done for them first.
[HTC Sensation] Maheshwara:
This was exactly what I thought... That's why I wondered about Bruce's lines cited by me...
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
lol ... sure you can do that, if you want to be a cowboy, expect things to go wrong, and don't want any help from anyone!

But hey ... if you want to be a guinea pig, you never know, maybe everything will "just work" :)
[HTC Sensation] zoomol:
I am having ringtone and notification issue. I've searched this thread and solutions given aren't working for me :(

I've picked custom ringtone, notification tones and assigned couple of rings to some of my contacts. Still having no ringtone while someone is calling. Only vibrations. As come for SMS/MMS - custome tone doesn't work, while SMS/MMS is received phone gives only default tone set in "sound" menu.

My settings:

Latest ROM by brce (20120910), no custom kernel (using provided in ROM)

Settings => Sound:

Volumes - everything full

Silent mode - OFF

Volume panel style - Expandable

Quiet hours - OFF

Safe headset volume - OFF

Phone ringtone - custom

Vibrate when ringing - ON

Ascending ringtone - OFF

Default notification - custom

Dial pad touch tones - OFF

Touch sounds - OFF

Screen lock sound - OFF

Vibrate on touch - OFF

Volume rocker music controls - OFF

I don't know what's wrong. When new ROM by bruce is coming, I'm just doing nandroid backup, then flash new ROM on top of previous, wipe dalvik+cache and reboot. Please help.
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
Yeah, the different tones seem a little hit and miss in each build. A few builds back everything was working great, but now everything seems to be reverting back to the default tones again. My ringtone has always been ok, it sticks with the one I have chosen, but all the others seem to ignore what I choose.
[HTC Sensation] DragunKorr:
Sweep2wake works with my kernels as well bro!

Release the Kraken!
[HTC Sensation] zoomol:
Thanks for reply.

I tried some stock ringtones, but that doesn't help...
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Your kernel is TC's + new governors so it's in the line of expectation ;)
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Hey... does 10 sep fix the screen does not light up after the call bug? It sais fixed badass so i don't really know...
[HTC Sensation] foongwk:
I flashed the ROM and its super speed. Only one issue I'm facing is the brightness can't be set to auto, set to auto brightness it'll still remain the manual setting set.

Anyone can assist me?
[HTC Sensation] insestito:
Youtube not work... only sounds, black screen in app and in chrome, etc
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Here's a sight for sore eyes...

Just for you!
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
i dirty flashed it and CMX worked fine...
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Yep, that's what I did ;)
[HTC Sensation] CrazyOlli:
Yeah after i thought it was fixed until 7th September rom.

Since 8th September Rom my battery runs very fast empty.

3 hours without doing anything it reduces from 80percent to 30 percent. After rebooting the same happens...

Can i use another kernel?

CPU Settings set to Minimum 384 Mhz - Maximum 1296 - Badass Mode

Maximum changes after reboot. Tryied with 1020 and preselected 1566

Thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] VivaLaCam92:
Try updating.. I was running the same build yesterday and before I flashed sept 10 I unplugged from 100% and dropped to 36 in 45 min.
[HTC Sensation] tr1gg3r.man:
hmmm, I know on the other ROM I was using with Jelly Bean it would FC every now and then, but with this ROM it FCs every time I attempt to visit a website. I've been using SkyFire as an alternative solution until this is resolved. Prefer Firefox as my browser though...
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
on 10/9 stock kernel I'm seeing two weird wake locks. "power manager service" and "deleted wake locks". any clue what they are?
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
I've only been using the stock kernel and have NEVER had the issue you're describing. Been using badass, 384-1350, cfq for i/o scheduler.

Even when having the screen on the entire time on my train ride (about 45-60 min depending on the day) browsing the net, xda, twitter, playing a couple games, sms, etc... I usually only use about 7-10% and still have 90+% when I get to my office.

On weekends when I'm around the house most of the day and on a solid wifi connection.. with medium use... sms, email, games, maybe a short call or two.. I easily stay unplugged all day (we'll say 10am until midnight) and am still in the 70% range. This is across the board since I started using this rom on (I think) the Aug 21 build.
[HTC Sensation] deboopi2:
Is this behaviour new for the 9/10 release?

I don't know since when it goes wrong, I've just noticed that my phone does not connect to my car bluetooth when the phone is locked, once unlocked it connects fine.

Anyone else with the same issue?
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
The 10/9 build seems to have better battery life! Yet it is smoother! Awesome work Bruce!
[HTC Sensation] VivaLaCam92:
I've always used the stock kernel as well and never had this issued until i flashed the previous build.. just yesterday though i got that huge battery drain. flashed the sep10 build when i made it to work & currently i'm sitting at 2 hours, 13 min. @ 91% where it's been setting at for the last 30 min or so after i got done with a quick game of fruit ninja.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
mine connects fine while screen off
[HTC Sensation] runnerman4:
Update the rom, and try tightening the battery by adding a small piece of paper/card stock on top of the batter to make it more firm. I was getting some of those same reboot problems as you, and I thought the paper trick wouldn't help, but it really has. Vastly improved!! Do it!
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
hey Bruce, whenever you want to screw around a bit you should look into this..

OTA UPDATE CENTER

:P
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
e:\ cant read from SD

Hey everyone,

please excuse my noobish questions, im actually doing this for several years now, but I just won´t get the zip to install. It always aborts whit a message reading like this "e:\ can´t read from SD ..." "filename.zip (bad)"

I redownloaded the file two times, third attempt following (with checking md5). Can anyone tell me, if this has happend before to someone?!

Second question: I never did a full wipe without a superwipe script (why isn´t it recommended by the way?) while using 4ext. What is the right way to format my phone, coming from ICS?

Thank you so much in advance!

Edit: Ok, I just saw, that with the newest version, I got a missmatch checking MD5... will download again, when I´m home. Internet at the place I am right now is crap.
[HTC Sensation] TomorrowSpace:
@Sibbi This happens to me if any part of the file has changed. It doesn't happen that often but sometimes you'll have a particularly finicky file and you'll need to download it straight to your SD card from your PC with your phone plugged in. Then reboot into recovery and install the file from wherever you downloaded it to without doing anything to the file. Don't even open it in explorer.

Good luck hope that helps.

Proud supporter using XDA Premium app on one of my devices.
[HTC Sensation] Diamondback:
Please stay on topic guys :) Whether or not CM makes more builds for samsung devices is very OT here ;)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
To fix in call volume, delete audio_policy.msm8660.so from system/lib/hw then reboot.

Not sure if it breaks BT audio as I can't test it.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Confirmed that this fixes in call volume. I will test BT in about 4 hours when I leave work if no one else has yet.

Also, I didnt delete the file. I just added a .bak extension in case I need to easily put it back.
[HTC Sensation] huzaifah29:
Does video playback work in gallery now and do we still need to use S/W decoder as stated in FAQ? About to download this ROM but do I have to flash camfix after gapps?
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
You may flash the camfix anytime
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Certain formats will play with hw decoder but not avi. I'd recommend vlc beta for videos, its been working quite well for me for the last few weeks.
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
I can confirm it does not break BT
[HTC Sensation] guags99:
I am on the Sep 10 build now, but I've been running the latest build of this ROM as my daily driver for several weeks. While there are little issues that everyone discusses here I'm very happy with the speed and am thankful for all the hard work.

I'm wondering if others though are having somewhat regular reboots? Best I can tell is it has something to do with wifi. I was getting reboots often when driving and I recalled a similar issue I had with a device a couple years back and it was WiFi related. So now when I'm in the car I shut off wifi. That has made things pretty stable for me. However anywhere from every other day to twice a day I get a reboot. And it always happens when wifi is on, being toggled, or I am moving around where I might be getting advertisements from many APs.

Anyone else? Just wondering if I'm alone.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this project. It is the best I've had with my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] tzolov:
I have only one issue with 09/10 release. My facebook notifications has gone :} Any suggestions :? Should i install build.prop fix after the rom and gapps?
[HTC Sensation] CrazyOlli:
That sounds great - i watched in browser now 45 min appl ekeynotes with 30percent display and battery goes from 89 to 14 percent ;/

Thats not normal. with build from 10th.
[HTC Sensation] pike2hc:
+1

While the phone rarely sleeps, I only have battery drain when display is on, I have seen 10% go within 5 minutes of screen on.

Other than some odd battery drain, I have no problems with rom. I am lovin JB! :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] huzaifah29:
Hey sorry for jumping off the topic a bit, but my titanium backup is "skipping" some apps when 'redoing backups for modified data' and then when it has finished, it (instead of displaying 0 apps to redo) shows the same number as before the apps were redone. Any quick solution as I'm going to install this ROM and the titanium team are hard to get to.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Its skipping them because it doesn't think there is modified data. Its basically saying that the existing backup of that app contains the most recent data.
[HTC Sensation] huzaifah29:
Okay thanks, I forced redo all apps just in case. JB here we come :D
[HTC Sensation] Cubed Guru:
Confirming that this fixes the issue. However, with Bluetooth Stereo Headset, it works with media player, but it now states "(no phone)" next to the paired devices in the bluetooth settings.

I had changed the extension to .bak so thought that was the issue, so deleted the file and still the same prob. At work and utilize my LG 700 Stereo Bluetooth headset extensively....so trying to wipe cache and dalvik and reinstall and see if it works. Will report back if it works.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
I was curious as to if there was a reason Google never included a stopwatch/timer and came across a Reddit thread mentioning that CM10 is soon including a stopwatch/timer built into the DeskClock.apk. Found a CM10 build for the GNexus with it included and have attached it for anyone that wanted it.

Screenies here: http://i.imgur.com/wI0cB.jpeg

It's works just fine but a bit laggy but I'm OCD when it comes to having unnecessary apps installed on my phone. Remember to set the permissions correctly and save the old apk as a .bak just in case. Works nicely with the notification drawer too! Figured doing this was easier than badgering Bruce to include it ;D
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I've been watching this on gerrit, just waiting for the bugs to be ironed out then I will add it.
[HTC Sensation] cosmicsnake:
This increase the call volume ?

Thanks

Regards
[HTC Sensation] antonyslater:
I've taken the plunge....

I have given this fix a go and it did indeed work for the in call volume and my Plantronics bluetooth headset did as suggested then stop working...... I unpaired the headset and re-paired it to see if that would make any difference and to my surprise it does appear to have worked. I use PlayerPro as my music player but have also tried it with the Apollo player which also works with the Bluetooth headset again.
[HTC Sensation] pike2hc:
I tried the fix as well, renamed to .bak and rebooted. iKross Bluetooth stereo headphones connected right away, played music and made a call with no problems. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I get an error saying "no phone" in tge bluetooth connections menu after the audio policy fix.

No big deal. Id rather have working in call volume rather than bluwtooth for now until cm fixes this
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Chrome working too:)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Just seen you put a .bak to the audio_policy

You have to delete it for real, otherwise the system will still be able to see this file and bluetooth won't work :P
[HTC Sensation] Tabtoub:
Can't waiiiiiiit awesome work bro:) thank youu
[HTC Sensation] pike2hc:
Odd, I renamed the file, didn't delete it. In call volume works, bluetooth headset works...
[HTC Sensation] cclaxx:
Hi bruce, i've had again status bar freezes with 10/9. I finally understand that the causes are Facebook messenger or beautiful widget, any solution? I wouldn't uninstall them.. thanks again for your work;)
[HTC Sensation] kypeth:
They are not related to those apps, I can reproduce the error on the same dated build with no apps installed on besides the gapps package
[HTC Sensation] alpha_dro:
I'm loving the battery life of this ROM, Bruce! This is only after the first full charge cycle after calibration (deleting battery .bin file), from what I've read the battery life is only suppose to get better from here on out!
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I had one such freeze and logcat showed beautiful widgets went into a loop. I uninstalled it and switched to "one more clock" and haven't had a freeze since.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
odd, I've never had an issue with the chrome browser
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
ROM updated.

md5 - 5f80984fa576dc76f3b0f915c5c1aac8

I'll upload to goo in the morning use the 'I AGREE' link for now
[HTC Sensation] opethfan3:
Are the new Scorpion optimizations kernel dependant?
[HTC Sensation] SK1LLS:
Hey guys the CRT works every time for sure only problem if u do it on the lock screen it shows the CRT animation and turns on the screen but shuts it off again. Can anyone else confirm this?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Yes they are but tamcores should have it if that's why your asking:)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Quick updates on 9/12 build....

Still very smooth.

Mms is still broke. I can send mms but not receive.

Volume change during calls is still broke.

My goofy gps problem that only a handful of people have is still present.

I dont know if you tried to fix any of these things yet. If you havent, then Im obviously not telling you anything you dont already know! Hahaha!

Thank you for the work no matter what!!!
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
The build.prop zip is not needed in these new versions correct?
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
I've run out of thanks for today, but just wanted to send you a huge generic THANKS for all the time you put into this. We all appreciate it Bruce :)
[HTC Sensation] opethfan3:
:) fantastic, thank you. That'd include Dragun as well I presume.
[HTC Sensation] daniel1823:
I know this is way off topic but I have been with android since it first came out. I recently decided that I want to help develop android. Can someone help me by telling me what code and language I need to learn. And give me pointers at were to start. I really want to help out as much as I can.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Yes it does for a split second, cm9 does too
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Not needed
[HTC Sensation] euplio:
Is linaro optimization included in this rom?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It's mostly c++ and java.

You should look into kernel development, the sensation could do with more kernels.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Its built with GCC 4.6
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
If you update to latest build and still get the reboots, doing the below will help Bruce out the most, I stole this from Darkobas' signature:

COLLECT LOGS and LAST_KMESG:

1. Install Lumberjack http://goo.gl/gbTQx

2. "convert" it to a system app... either with Titanium backup or move it to /system/app with a root file manager. (For this, after copying the apk, make sure you change the file permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot)

4. launch lumberjack and click on logs. give it root access.

4. When u experience a crash, go to the lumberjack app and export last_kmesg or logs.

5. paste to pastebin.com

6. stop beeing nub u know now an easy way to collect logs and kernel msg on jb
[HTC Sensation] law16:
any word on notification bar getting stuck bug? thought the issue was solved but i got it with the 9/10 build going to try 9/12
[HTC Sensation] daniel1823:
What all do I need to know about kernel development? Is it something easy to start out with?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I'd wouldn't say its easy, if you Google it you will find a lot of guides.

I have nothing to point you to as I just dived in and got on with it, never used a guide.

You could start by learning to compile cm, blah has a guide in the dev section.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Looked at the changelog but didn't mention if in call volume is fixed with 9/12?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Just got to delete audio_policy.msm8660.so from system/lib/hw to fix it, I left it in because a couple of people said it messed with their BT headset.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Perfect since I don't use BT. Downloading now. Thanks
