Is anyone else getting slightly poor wifi signal?

I came straight from CM9 to CM10, phone sitting where it always sits and its getting significantly less signal strength?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Telephony and data are handled by the framework, the it may have something to do with the kernel but I don't think it is.
[HTC Sensation] oscarba:
Call me crazy, but I was not having connection problems, just have heavy battery drain... Did the SMS and selected the carrier as automatic... Battery gauge stopped moving. Could this be an issue with the data connection? Is it related? I could not go into the network settings, but did have a connection, working kinda weird though.

My 2 cents... (more like 10)
[HTC Sensation] darkriftx:
What provides the framework the access to the underlying hardware layer? Is it similar to a driver model or something else much like other Linux based embedded systems? I'm curious and want to do kernel development. If there is anywhere I could help out, could you point me to the source? I apologize if this has been answered before.

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] anthonyly:
Uh what Governor do you guys use with Dragun's kernal because i'm using badass since yesterday and major battery drain i barely even did anything..
[HTC Sensation] wi1dfl0wer:
I'm on T-Mobile USA and have never had a data problem.
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
It's not a a real fix because that doesn't always work...had the data problem myself a while back and there were multiple things that "fixed" it like calling myself from another phone, having people text me, sending texts...and they all "fixed" it at least once, but not nearly every time.
[HTC Sensation] big fancy:
No probs and I'm on tmobile USA.
[HTC Sensation] panzival:
I haven't used Bruce's rom in a couple weeks, but I'm using Dragun's PA rom with this kernel and I also have heavy drain. Governor (skywalker, lagfree, wheatly) didn't change battery life at all. Phone dies in about 6 hours and I don't even turn the display on.
[HTC Sensation] j_r0dd:
T-Mobile USA here. One way I noticed it happens for me, but only lasts a couple hours, is if I walk out of my house with WiFi still turned on. It takes a couple hours of data blinking to reconnect. This doesn't do it all the time either. I think it's a framework issue really. Or T-Mobile is f*cking around!
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Hey Bruce, the kernel changes from 9/18 to 9/20 broke hard swap.
[HTC Sensation] VonFalkenhausen:
Yeah, about the same for me, maybe a little worse than a blue moon but good lately.
[HTC Sensation] wicketr:
My experience with the data dropping seems to be related to T-Mobiles network in certain locations. My phone on Bruce's ROM had been perfect until I travelled to Kansas City. The entire weekend I was there I got the blinking connection.

As soon as I got back home everything was back to normal and working for me. I think the reason some of you have problems is because the network in certain cities isn't meshing well with CM ROMs.

If you're having problems it'd be interesting to hear what city you are in. See if we can figure out if there are matching cities and maybe figure out what frequency ranges are having issues, because TMobile owns different frequencies in different cities
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
Had occasional data blinking (fixed by toggling WiFi and data a couple times...idk why) in the 18 build but after flashing 20 build I haven't had any so far. I'm on T-Mobile too.

BTW, after a couple hours of use I noticed my phone lagging a bit, checked system tuner and CPU1 is staying offline..anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Just thought I'd let you guys know that Qualcom just released the benchmarking tool they use to build the snapdragon chips. Its way better and more detailed than antutu and it has an awesomely sleek ui. Its free on the play store. Here's my score with CPU set to 1188 /badass.

HTML5 test score was decent .

This is just weird, I now turned on automatic brightness in the Screen Settings Menu instead of the Wizard I have installed and it started working again!
[HTC Sensation] :
For months, I've been fine at home with various AOSP ROMS, but I suddenly lost data for a couple of days last week, so I don't think that's the issue, unless TMo briefly changed frequencies around here.
[HTC Sensation] Jur1nator:
by accident i switched to the frontcam and had an expectable fc , but now everytime i start the camera apk it fc`s directly because it still thinks i want to start the frontcam, any way around that?

my phone doesn't vibrate when I get a notification anymore. Does anybody else get this problem?
[HTC Sensation] H3llblax:
me on 9/15 build n didnt switch to newer builds coz nothing much added difference.. just the problem is the capacitive buttons light.. But my battery drains really really fast.. Is this coz m using the badass script which bruce forgot to add..? if yes then which governer is the best ofr now to save battery n get a proper performance??

Also are the crt animations working properly only for the source kernel by bruce?? or it works for dragonkurr n tamkore too??
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
If you can get people to do

adb bugreport

it may help you more. It contains a logcat, kmsg, radio log, etc. If its not there then were screwed basically

Yea, checked that twice or more times. It's ok. Guess the Anker is broken or maybe second choice. It happens only between 50 till 65 % capacity.

[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
I've thought this for a long time now. Try to play "ready steady bang" from the market. Its not beatable IMO on this device, while I can beat it on others. The game relies on touchscreen response time

I'd like some sort of Jelly Bean on my da's phone, but I'm sure he'd want the FFC working.
[HTC Sensation] iasellax:
Hi to all. This morning I try FxCamera application available in Google play and with this the front camera work 1or 2 seconds... I run the last build.

@bruce2728 can this discovery help you to fix front camera?
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I get the same, it actually seems to connect and does show an image but freezes which is more than what the stock camera does, but I still think it will still be a kernal/driver level fix.

Would a log cat be of any use or just confirm what is already known?
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I got the same 1-2 second view of myself with the FFC by selecting it from the stock camera menu so nice idea but..............
[HTC Sensation] go2net:
If it is kernal related issue, you can try tamcore kernal, since Tamcore kernal work well on CM9 for FFC
[HTC Sensation] :
I use Inetllidemand. No obvious battery drain here.

sorry, why preferring this before the CM9 rom???
[HTC Sensation] DevourDarkness:
Do I need to download the CamFix file?
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
no if your using 18/9 +i think :)
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
because its CM10, its one better ;)
[HTC Sensation] insestito:
And what kernel is best for this rom ?? the stock or Bruce kernel from the download link
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I don't flash any other kernels, as the one with the ROM is fine for me. The one on the downloads page was a test kernel from weeks back, it doesn't need to be flashed anymore. Just be aware that if you use another kernel and have problems, Bruce can't be responsible for fixing the bugs.
[HTC Sensation] theinmoe:
I am start having problem from 18 Sep rom with data on and off on Tmobile. All bars are white with 3G icon comming on and off. When data is connected all bars are blue with up and down arrows in it. Flashed 20 Sep and still have the same problem.

Is SebsatianFM kernel working with this ?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
No that's for sense I think
[HTC Sensation] DevourDarkness:
Does this have status bar toggles like AOKP?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The data issue is NOT fixed with PA. At least not completely.

I had the data flickering issue yesterday and tried PA and the data flickering was there immediately on first boot. It was no better than any other AOSP rom.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

This is correct. Sebastion's is a Sense Kernel.

And to answer another question, yes this has the notification bar toggles. (AOKP is based off of CM, for future reference)

About the 9/20 build, the battery drain is still pretty huge even wit a conservative governor. It's pretty phenominal with the screen off, where I get 0 discharge even for hours and hours.....but any kind of use t all really drains it quick. I've noticed this since 9/15.

Better battery stats shows the Android System Alarm Manager causeing a wakelock for 50% of the time sinc echarged and an Event log Service from Google being 12%. But those are probably in use with the screen off when there's no battery bleed. I've seen the same results with the stock kernel and TamCore's over the past week. And of course I haven't really let it charge and discharge for multiple cycles yet since I keep updating. Not complaints...just giving general feedback.

Maybe the new JB kernel will be more efficient with the power usage of the screen and processor. Or maybe it's a framework thing that needs to be worked out. In any case it's still getting me through 1 full day without issue (Was getting through 2 on the August builds) so it's still perfectly usable as a daily driver and I'm sure we'll see battery improvement as we move forward and the CM team changes things.
[HTC Sensation] razvanwin95:
and can you recommend me some no-sense kernels ?
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Try tamacores kernels
[HTC Sensation] :
Well then you are the only one... For everyone else its working perfectly ;)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Just an update on this.....

This fixed my data problem yesterday, but I didn't have to do the network operator change to automatic part.

Sending the sms to myself fixed the data immediately with no other steps.

At least for me. It won't hurt to set the operator to automatic, but being abe to narrow it down to just the SMS might help find a cure. Maybe we should hold a telethon to help find a cure! For just 15 cents a day, the price of a cup of coffee, you could help put an end to AOSP data instability. :victory: If we have to we can re-unite the crew that sang "We Are The World" back in the 80's to help the cause. :D

But seriously and still on the telathon topic....everyone who loves this ROM regardless of it's quirks should give Bruce a few bucks. He's more than earned it and continues to earn it.
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Absolutely valid reminder, I always postponed it... :rolleyes:

[HTC Sensation] oscarba:
I'm having the same issue, it's got to be something in the framework because the difference in battery performance is dramatic. Like you, I could go 2 days without a charge with prior to the 9/15 builds. Lets hope that bruce2728 can work his magic and give us the power back... until then the power is in the cord...

I love this ROM...BTW
[HTC Sensation] DragunKorr:

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks a lot! Its appreciated
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
On build 9/20 and cam works here. I didn't need to flash the camfix since the last two builds IIRC.

Did you try clearing the data on the camera under settings?
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
You got that possibility?

Damn T-mobile NL. Get that **** going. :P
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You don't need to flash camfix. It will just fix the rotated preview image you get when you first run the camera. But even then it will take the picture fine and save it normally.

Camfix breaks other things though, like bar code scanners don't work. So it's a trade off as to what's important for you.
[HTC Sensation] DragunKorr:
Bruce if you need help just ask!:D
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Bruce can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that kind of change gets made at the CM commit level, not his compiling level. If there's odd code in the main framework that's causing battery drain (and I suspect there is) it's on the CM team to fix it.

But they will. Just about every ROM goes through periods of horrible battery life in the beta stages. I think CM9 had this problem bad for about a month or so along it's way to becoming efficient and stable. But it got fixed. This one will too!
[HTC Sensation] Hamsterkill:
You got that a bit backwards. On prior builds, the base camera with the rotated preview broke the barcode scanner and Google Goggles -- the camfix fixed those. However, I'm pretty sure the camfix was supposed to be no longer useful as of the 9/18 build since the base camera was fixed.
[HTC Sensation] muzairnawaz:
while i switch to panorama mode screen flickers and camera force closes.. need help

i am on 9/20 build
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
On the 9/18 build when I tested this yesterday, barcodes worked until flashing camfix, then they didn't.

On the 9/20 build which I tested 5 seconds ago, you're right. I haven't used camfix.zip and everything works properly without alteration.

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Welp, my data just went on and off like skipjacks. Sending a sms and then choosing automatic in network settings didnt do anything. Any more insight? Or will I need to flash a Sense rom and back to the 9/15 build?
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
If you've tried airplane mode,2g and rebooting then your best bet is to wait it out or flash sense ROM. It will come back on its own always does.

Also some people have luck flashing the ROM on top without wiping anything.

[HTC Sensation] Euroman28:
When the battery reach under 30% mark then some strange happens with my phone. What happens is that the phone turns off and then reboots now with a battery-level of 11-12%.

Any care to explain this?

Also I have experienced that low battery 12-15% sometimes on even the later versions simply turns the phone off. Is that a Jellybean or CM bug?
[HTC Sensation] moot4prez:
I just want to add to the reports of the past two (at least) releases have had very fast battery drains. I've tried different governors and checking for wake locks. So far it seems like the phone is sleeping fine (almost no drain while the screen is off) but when in use I'm loosing a percent every couple of minutes while browsing the web and using Facebook. I've played with brightness settings as well and they have no noticeable effect on battery life.

Everything seems to otherwise be normal. I'll try combing through my catlog and see if there are any signs in there.
[HTC Sensation] BuTuCuTz:
You should try wiping battery stats.

I would try sending a second message to myself, if I were you.

Also try dialing #766# to turn on international data and then dial #763# to turn it back off.

Since your phone will have to connect to T-Mobile data then it may force register it again. Worth a shot.

I believe that Skipjacks reported the same thing, but just in case he didn't, I do get an error when I try to search for networks. I have to select the automatic option.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Probably just dumb luck. It probably would've come on anyway. Every time this happens it comes back eventually by itself anyway. That's why no 2 things work for everyone I suspect . Next time just let it sit there for an hour or so and I bet it comes back automatically.
