Yes. Gps has inconsistent issues. Works perfect for some people. Some cant get it to power on at all. And some cant get it to power on after using wifi.
[HTC Sensation] wolfxwinds:
does the 03 version require i flash the buildprop fix?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
No

GPS Fix

One thing that I have noticed with my Sensation is that the antenna contacts inside the back of the phone tend to get dirty quickly, especially if you do battery pulls a lot.

Try opening the back, and cleaning the contacts with some rubbing alcohol.

These hardware problems are my least favorite aspect of the Sensation.

Has anyone experienced audio dropping intermittently through the ear-piece when on a call after updating to the 31/08/2012 build?? It goes on and off, but If I put the speaker I can hear them.This has happened multiple times today with different callers so I know its an issue on my side.Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] cclaxx:
Bruce i noticed that the weather widget doesn t always appear in the notification bar (even if activated)...maybe gnow could be the cause why the status bar crashes? PS beautiful ROM;)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

On a similar note,when I am listening to music through the headphones,and I receive a call,the music does not start up again when the call has finished.

I found that long pressing the button on my headphones calls up GNow.

When I cancel that, and short press my headphone button,the music will start again.

I too,would appreciate a solution to this ...

0831 version.

Logcat? :p
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
There is no point posting bugs for an old ROM version.

If I said to HTC that I was on 1.45.401 and something wasn't working what do you think they would tell me?

Edit, I'm not saying your bug is fixed in latest version, just that its not helpful to me, please only report bugs for current versions as that is the base I will be working with for the next update.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
LOLcat

:D

Hi,

Sorry,I should have mentioned that this has been happening in all versions.

I will update tonight and see...

:)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
That maybe the case, try using the old gapps without updated gnow to see if that fixes the problem, still not happened to me once though.

Could it have something to do with different displays? Mine is an Acer I think.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Installed 9/3 this morning after leaving the 8/31 build for a day to try out the new vipers rom, and it seems a bit laggier, almost like project butter isnt doing its job. Full wiped and reinstalled and its still the same. 8/31 build was totally fine when I was on it though.
[HTC Sensation] Freaknik:
Bruce do you have any ideas on how to improve scrolling? I flashed the framework zip someone had made here but that gave a boot loop. The scrolling seems to stick too much. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Also seem to have some sort of hybrid ICS/jb camera where I can't scroll right from the camera to get to the last image taken but I can scroll left from the gallery to get to the camera.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
The only time mine doesn't show up is when I have sync turned off.

Did you try fixing permissions through recovery .8/31 build was slow for me until I fix the permissions and then it was normal. And 9/3 rebuild seems to be faster than 8/31 in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Sorry, but fixing permissions does nothing to affect lag.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
How can you tell which screen you have? Did they switch at a certain date that I can cross check with my manufacture date?
[HTC Sensation] cclaxx:
Till the weather was on I had crashes.. after a reboot it stops working (don't know why) but no more bar crashes! Sync always on, I'll flash old gapps

mine is a sharp, but I've never had an issue with anything on my phone. only thing remotely close is instability in xe based roms which doesn't apply to ASOP :D

edit, it's funny that when we first got s-off everyone wanted a sharp because we didn't get the blue tint
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I guess if yours is sharp and ours is Acer and none of us have the status bar freeze then that's not the problem.
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
It's not the problem. I have a Sharp screen and I'm starting to have some of these issues being constantly discussed (especially the status bar freeze) whereas I hadn't had them before :D Who knows....

I have Sharp display and I'm not having any of the issues mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Well the screen won't effect all the issues but it could effect some of them. Like for example the camera isn't due to the screen. The status bar could be the screen but since someone just said they flashed the older gapps and said it's not a problem anymore I assume it's in the coding of the gapps.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
This is the new cm quick reply messaging app in apk format if anyone has the old one. It has the quick reply button in the notification shade if you turn off popups. Just install like any other app and confirm overwrite old app. All text and data will remain. You can search for it on xda or use this link to my 4shared.

FYI Haven't tried it myself personally
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I have it installed and it works fine. But it does seem that they haven't fixed the bug that brings up the messaging app behind the popup on some phones.

Edit: reboot and quick reply is fixed.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Do we need gnow? Or will uninstalling it break other things due to the app containing important framework or something?
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
I just installed it and it still has the bug that it pulls up the messages behind the quick reply.

One thing I've been looking for is a tethering app besides foxfi. I use my mobile Internet on my nexus 7 and that's why I've been on the stock rom for so long. Foxfi uses bluetooth DUN which in my opinion isnt as good as wifi tethering. Anyone have any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] runnerman4:
You can go into GNow settings and disable it, that's probably your best bet. Hopefully you see improvements, I know I did when I disabled it.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Nevermind I rebooted and quick reply is working perfectly
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
This sounds just like my GPS problem. GPS works fine until you use Wifi, then GPS is broken until the next roboot.

Suddenly today I'm having this same issue with data connection. It turns on, but blinks on and off rather than staying steadily connected. I haven't waited 4 hours yet to see if data comes back on it's own. But I've got a sneaky suspicion that there is a wifi conflict that is affecting a handful of devices inconsistantly. This is now 2 issues that people have said only occur after Wifi use.

Is there any other cure to the data blinking on and off problem? I've been searching for a sollution for about an hour now. I can't find anything. Please excuse me if it's right there under my nose.

I did get a new sim card yesterday. I didnt see any increase in connection speed despite replacing a 7 year old card. And now my data is borked. Could I have a bad sim card?
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
Is anybody seeing the status bar freeze after unlocking? I only seem to get the freeze when I try to pull down the bar from the lockscreen. I had this happen about 4 times today, but ONLY from the lockscreen.

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Currently on the 03Sept build and also flashed the 830 gapps this time around. (I was out of town lol)

My "H" is constant, but I do use get ril to make sure the baseband matches the rils. And everytime I flash the new update, I need to use the getril app. Not sure if it's related, but that's my OCD procedure in flashing this rom lol. But I just tried out the data without wifi, which I am on most of the time anyway. And the data doesn't come on and off. I admit i did about 3 builds ago, but was corrected quickly by bruce within a day. :good:

So far, this build is solid IMO. Youtube works, cam works...anything else to check?
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Have you tried wifi tethering so far I can't get it to work
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Do you have it turned on in settings cause mine works when I ask the weather or for a definition. Someone posted earlier about the tts settings also. Search for tts and find that post if its already turned on.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ah...you are correct sir. I cannot get it to work either. No biggie IMO, I don't use it. lol
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Just wanted to let you know roms never contain RIls so that's just your OCD when you check after a new install :P

[HTC Sensation] avplaya:
I am on the Sept 3 build and everything is great except two minor things:

1. I use HD Widgets and every time I reboot the widget fails to load. I have to re-add it from scratch.

2. The alarm will only vibrate but no sound. The sound setting is fine and I'm getting sound on everything else. I checked the Ringtone list and nothing I press will play a demo tune. And I can't choose the list of sounds I have installed in my SD card - I get a list of names like Barium/Cesium/Coperium etc which I've never seen before. None of them seemed to be a legitimate sound file. What am I doing wrong here?

Go to settings/sounds and toggle all sounds all the way up ,down than back up

Anyone experiencing a YouTube crash when adjusting the volume during video playback? I'm running the 9/3 ROM with the 7/26 Google Apps, and I my phone is on the 3.33 firmware. As soon as I get home, I will post a logcat.

Just one more detail: the volume bar pops up and allows for volume adjustment, however, in the background a message box appears that says YouTube has stopped, even though the video continues to play until you hit OK.

YouTube

Great rom. I just flashed the 9/03/12 build. Everything working for the most part. I just have one complaint and I know this problem has been mentioned before, but I didn't see a solution for it. The YouTube app has a black screen. The audio plays just fine but all I can see is a black screen.

I searched through the thread and saw some people have mentioned this problem in the much earlier builds of this rom but there was no real solution that was posted that I saw. I did see that bruce posted a .xml patch but I am not sure what to do with that or if it'll help. Can someone help me resolve this issue as I use YouTube daily.

Also, I cannot find the quick message when I am in message app > settings. This isn't a huge concern, but if anyone could inform me why I don't have it or could help me get it, I would appreciate it.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you and keep up the good work on the rom.

su in ADB

Can everyone else get superuser access via adb? I hadn't tried until the previous build, but on that one and the current I just get permission denied. Just me? No superuser request pops up on the screen, and permission denied just pops up immediately.

su

Permission denied

Skype Calling

Does anyone else use Skype? How is your reception? I use it where i live and person i call can hear me fine but my reception is very spotty. Anyone have a possible solution that may be able to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
How'd you get the built in wifi tethering? Did you just pull it from the stock rom and side load it?
[HTC Sensation] websiege:
I use Skype and on WiFi is pretty decent and in some cases can even hold on to a video chat. Otherwise on the HSPA+ you'll be lucky to have an uninterrupted 10min call. I'm in supposedly area with top T-Mobile signal too.
[HTC Sensation] rickadlee:
With issue 2, I had the same issue. Fixed it by playing one of the demo tunes and using the volume rocker while it should have been playing. This enables the sound again.
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:

[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
If you ask an actual question, I'm sure you'll find plenty of people here who will be happy to help ... is there a specific issue you're having with the installation instructions from the OP, or a point where you're getting stuck?

When I was on ICS I had no issues with Skype. I understand cmx is beta so there will be issues. It would be nice to have a clear call.
[HTC Sensation] wicketr:
This is probably more of a CM question, but how do I get the phone/people apps to display the Facebook photos like in Sense?

As for the status bar, I am 100% convinced now it has to do with the bar attempting to update while its being pulled down. Haven't had a problem all day and at the exact moment I got a Facebook message and attempted a pull down at same time, it locked up

Is that the same thats in the play store? Your file didn't allow me to install.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
No it is not the same as the one in play store. It's modded and bug fixes "Skype_2.9.0.315_v17"

You may have to uninstall the one from play store first. It's worth a try cause it is working fine for me on cmx.

Keeps the contact pics in good quality also. Very nicely done app.
[HTC Sensation] misha:
Google Talk all of a sudden started acting odd. On some contacts the app states: "unfortunately talk stopped", but not on others. Tried going to build from 8/31 same behaviour, same behavior in 9/3. Latest gapps. Attempted to fix permissions but that did not resolve the issue. If others voice call or video call to me, that works, but if i select same people out of the list i get an error stated above. Any ideas? Greatly appreciatiated.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Not sure if anyone else has reported this. I use SwiftKey instead of stock keyboard and when I reboot my phone it restores back with the stock keyboard as my default and the SwiftKey one is disabled in the settings.
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
go to recovery, wipe system, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash rom and gapps. :)
[HTC Sensation] jan.ringas:
Do you have it installed on your sd-card? Moving a keyboard to the sd-card leads to the faulty behaviour you described.

Another reason for your problem might be the same that paid apps with widgets (Beautiful Widgets, Tasks, ...) have. Have you tried backing up SwiftKey with Titanium Backup, uninstalling it via Titanium Backup and finally restoring it including data (so that it gets installed on the data-partition)? I did so with Beautiful Widgets and Tasks and their widgets aren't disappearing any more.
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
This wasn't directed at me, but I tried this technique for a couple of paid apps with widgets today. It seemed to work at first ... they survived a reboot, and mounting the SD card via USB (that makes them disappear also), and I thought it was all fixed. A few hours later I rebooted again ... I actually forget why, and they have disappeared again :( Gargh! I'll try and get a logcat of a reboot when they disappear in case it is of any use to Bruce.
[HTC Sensation] ac_utd:
Can anyone advise whether I can add beats on this ROM? If yes, a link would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
No I didn't move it to the sd card but I did just use titanium backup and followed what you said I'll see if it worked when I do my next reboot
[HTC Sensation] Labersack:
You said you connected your phone to USB for this test, so its loading the battery.

If the current in the widget is a postive value without the '-' in front of it, it shows the current which 'flows' into the battery, so if you use more tools & display, the CPU & light needs more power so less power is going to the battery.

As I understand the tool, it behaves as intendet.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Finally caved in after following this thread obsessively and flashed this ROM and its fantastic.

Bit of background, I have a Sensation XE and had the following:

Originally android 4.0.3/sense 3.6

Firmware 3.32

Hboot 1.29 (so did the wire trick to get s-off)

Flashed Virtuous inquisition (been running for a few months)

Full wipe in 4xt, installed bruce's ROM (03/09) and latest gapps (haven't changed kernel or firmware)

Seems to be working flawlessly so far (with stated known issues FFC/volume levels), snappy and smooth, its more like the finished product than a beta, (reminds me of changing from sense to CM7 on my old Desire!) I thought VI was slick but this is definitely faster all apps/functions I use appear to be working fine, wifi signal maybe seems a bit weaker but switches on/off without a problem. I had created a nandroid of the VI rom with the intention of checking this out and flashing back, but really cant see me changing now as this is so good. Will be reinstalling apps and testing normal usage throughout the day, if I encounter any issues I will of course submit a logcat. :)

Many thanks for your work and time Bruce, much appreciated! :good:

Good to hear, will try this later at home. As I streamed music to a home theatre system with my old Desire and it worked perfectly. It bugged me when I then tried it when I on my Sensation and it was really poor, choppy/dropping out even when you set the phone on top of the receiver.
[HTC Sensation] ROCKSTAR XS:
Can anyone advise me on something that's been bugging me? You can filter the contacts to "contacts with phone numbers only" but I can't on this rom.
