Search this thread. Someone posted a way to speed up scrolling. I can't remember how long ago that was though.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
When I was saying wakelock are not real this is why. Almost ten hours of standby and 97 left.

BTW Bruce, can we have your latest kernel without GPU OC ?

11/02 build - running into problems

I moved to 11/02 build from the previous (which was rock solid).,and running into random hangs.

All the 4 lights on the bottom show up and phone just hangs. Anybody else seeing this problem?

Probably time for me to do a clean format and install 11/05 build? Any thoughts?

Also,does the GPS and google maps work?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Search this thread for the word friction. That'll come up with the line you need to add to your build.prop.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

view.scroll_friction=0

That's what I add to improve scrolling. Force gpu rendering in developer options as well.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It's the friction one that works for me.

The rom is complete with some glitches. For instance you long press the home button and select an app while you are in another app. Then click back. You are back to home screen rather than the previous app.

To be honest the rom has less bugs than a galaxy note phone.

The android back button has always been consistently unpredictable. People have been complaining about that since eclair.
[HTC Sensation] Jur1nator:
something like that will never be "finished" and "completed".. even if it were, the next android version would come around and brick some stuff wich would need fixing and it is an everlasting cycle of getting more and more awesome..

but if you are asking if you can use it as a daily driver because everythings works.. yes you can =P

Bruce did you have a chance to check this post out. I'm having a connection pool issue with lots of apps including g+,xda, gmail,search among others but never the browser.

[HTC Sensation] jan.ringas:
I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwGHJJYBs0Q) from this year's Google I/O quite interesting... made me understand (at least I think so) the way the tasks stack in Android is handled and why the "back"-button-behaviour might be seem "consistently unpredictable" in some cases. It's rather long (about one hour), but goes really deep into the topic of navigating between tasks and stuff.

Possible fix for T-mobile data issue

Yesterday my phone ran out of power and turned off. while driving back home I put it in the car dock and turn on gps. by the time I got home it had %5 power with good data. I turn off gps. An hour or so latter, I recalled it was low and went to charge it. The phone was dead. I turned it on and let it charge. At this point I had no data. Data was lost while in the same room. I don't believe it was the stuck between 2 towers theory is correct.

After a few hours of no data connection, as I was about to go to bed, I turned on wifi tethering/hotspot. Almost Immediately or within 5 seconds, I got a stable 4g data connection. wifi tethering/hotspot was working fine, I tested it. I disabled wifi tethering/hotspot and data still remained strong. I encourage other t-mobile people to try it to confirm the solution. Due to the large traffic this comment could be berried easily. Please bruce2728 add it to the first post or something until we can confirm whether this fix works for others or not.

I am currently on Nov 2nd build. Let me know if you need anything otherwise I will update to Nov 5th. I hope this helps.

Ha I had the exact same problem my friend. Changing the APN does nothing, but restoring a backup fixes it. I went back to my virtuous inquisition ROM backup, and then let it sit for a little. Worked right away. Then I did a full wipe and reinstalled JB. Fixed everything and hasn't come back yet. There is something that triggers it, too, because I remember fiddling with a setting and breaking it. Problem is I can't remember exactly what that was
[HTC Sensation] arjuna_:
I had a similar problem where the H would flash for a second and then disappear for 2-3 seconds and then the H would come back. I fixed by changing apn's from epc.tmobile.com to wap.voicestream.com. Hope it works for you too.

GNow is, but I don't think that gapps is. On the other hand, you don't need to re-install gapps with a new build of the ROM, only if you wipe, from what I've heard. Of course I could be wrong, but nothing harmed by re-flashing the latest gapps anyhow.

Can't seem to definitely find an answer. Does flashing 4.2 GAPPS effectively mean it'll be 4.2? Doesn't seem like any announced features were OS specific (though I'm sure there will be).

And if Bruce is stopping updates for this for awhile, can we then assume that 4.2 won't be an incremental update like 4.1.2 was released for this rom (or CM source)?

Works great with Gapps 4.2

I did a clean install and for the Gapps I used the latest 4.2 release (link) on an HTC Sensation 4G (Tmobo) and it works great! This has become my new weekend ROM, I need wifi-calling during the week so I need ICS, but I can't wait till Tmobile-HTC get the wifi-calling on JB.

The 4.2 camera worked fine with the 3D panorama. The only annoying thing was that the gallery could only choose an album, and 4.2 uses a new folder in DCIM called 'camera' minor issue considering that the camera app rocks.

I couldn't see much of a difference with Gmail 4.2, or the calender 4.2. iterations.

Sorry for this noob question but do I have to use 4ext when wiping?
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
I'll just reply to this one as it seems the latest in the most recent shutdown argument.

As I posted about before, I've had and have this issue quite severely. At some point, a few months ago now, it was so bad that this JB ROM didn't even really work at all. When I went back to Virtuous Inquisition, it happened much less frequently. Does that sound like a hardware issue to you?

In the meantime, my battery has been deemed "bad" by HTC and was replaced. This new battery showed pin-marks on the leads after a few days of use already, so clearly the pins are connecting. I have also replaced my simcard.

The day I removed the old simcard and had it replaced, the shutdowns stopped for almost a week. I suspect the return coincided with me flashing the 29 okt build. It didn't happen with the previous 2 builds.

Lastly, and I think this should give any of you pause when you start with the business card and "it's not a rom issue" argument again: Last wednesday I got completely fed up again after experiencing 3 days of almost constant shutdowns. Whenever I pulled out my phone at any point during the day, I was thrilled to see it not having shut down. This, and almost every other situation in which it started happening seemed to coincide with bad signal reception (both wifi and mobile data). When I got home, I bit the bullet and reverted to completely stock with S-ON and an official HTC Sense 3.6 ROM. Guess what? Not a SINGLE shutdown, crash, reboot or whatever since then!

Still convinced the shutdowns have 0 to do with the ROM?

It's been almost a week since I went back to stock so now I'm fairly convinced the hardware isn't the issue, I'll try this ROM again as I'm equally fed up with Sense in that week :P. I see there's a pure AOSP ROM as well these days, so I can try that as an alternative custom ROM in case I get the shutdowns again with bruce's.

A question to Bruce: what diagnostic tool would be most appropriate in this case? So far the issue's been that it usually went wrong when away from a computer or when I was busy. I haven't really been able to fish for the issue to occur when I'm ready to do any kind of logging, but now I'm fairly sure it's not just my phone being broken, I'd like to figure out what's going on here.

All installation instructions are in the OP, including this one 'full wipe needed when coming from another rom' 4ext is 'recommended' however
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
Did you find a solution by searching the thread? (Guess not since you're on the XDA app)

(1) Turn volumes down then back up

OR

(2) re-flash ROM

OR

(3) download ROM again and re-flash...

Good luck! :D

Just confirmed, the USB transfer speeds on Mac OS are normal, however on Windows it is many many times slower. Could this be related to the drivers used on Windows?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It shouldn't be, as my transfer speeds were decent enough before jellybean. Also, if it were the drivers on the pc at fault, then it wouldn't be able to be quick in recovery either.
[HTC Sensation] KennyHage:
Back to normal speed on Linux for me too. Thanks Bruce, great work! :good:
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It's not that we easily dismiss the issue, we're talking from our own experiences. Not sure if you saw my post a few pages back, but basically I tried several different roms, kernels and even batteries, and none of them stopped the random shutdowns. I too initially assumed it was the rom I was using at the time, so I flashed a different rom and thought I'd cured it since the issue didn't return at first.

A week or two later however it started again. I also found that it happened more frequently the lower the battery charge was, especially in areas where I had poor reception and it changed between 2g and 3g. It went on intermittently for months throughout various rom changes, but nothing seemed to permanently cure it, and the only thing that stopped it doing it was plugging it into the charger. So that then made me suspect the battery.

I was already using an anker, so I stuck the standard battery back in. Seemed okay again for a week or so, so I contacted anker and got a free replacement since it was under 6 months old. Then a day after I'd contacted them, the shutdowns even started on the standard battery too. The new anker didn't cure it either once it arrived.

I then tried adjusting the ground pin on the side of the phone to see if it'd help stop the reception issue from causing it, and also wedged the battery in as per that thread I linked to earlier, so it made a better connection with the terminals.

It's honestly been perfect ever since, ZERO shutdowns in months, regardless of the rom or kernel I happened to use. It's not as if we're lying about it, but you can either make out we're wrong and quickly blame the rom, or simply try it for yourself. It may indeed help. My issue was 100% hardware related, it's not the rom otherwise my phone would be randomly shutting down too. It isn't. Yours may be working okay on the stock rom at the moment, but stick with it and sooner or later the fault will return. Feel free to find another rom you're happy with, stick with it for a while, not just a few days, and see if it happens again in time. For me and countless others, it did.

Not trying to tell you how to suck eggs, but just in case it's not clear, all this applies if you're genuinely talking about random SHUTDOWNS, not random REBOOTS. With the shutdowns issue the screen just goes black as if someone has pulled the battery, and it won't come back on without you physically turning the phone back on. Reboots however mean it'll suddenly jump to your splash screen and boot animation and reboot. If it's reboots you're getting, that is more likely to be some kind of software issue, overclocking too much or undervolting too low. But we're talking shutdowns instead.
[HTC Sensation] James1o1o:
Its just strange how speed issues only happen on Windows.

Also the problem isn't related to Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwhich Cyanogenmod9 had the exact same problem, it has to be something in the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Eeroz:
Yes, after doing some research I found out that the Sensation can't power USB devices.. :(
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I was on virtuous before which was ics, but never had the transfer speed issue, so it must be a cyanogen quirk.
[HTC Sensation] James1o1o:
As I said, its a Cyanogenmod issue that happens not only on Sensation but on other devices also like Samsung Galaxy etc.
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
Of course I don't mean to say the opposite of what you're saying. I'm sure it was the issue in your case and that's fine. I'm referring to those that blatantly stated someone was an idiot (or whatever language he used) to think it's the ROM because it's a "known" issue with the battery. Having made pretty sure that is not the case for me, it seems logical to extend that to other people. I'm not unique.

I've frequently tried cleaning or otherwise "improving" connection between contacts of the battery/antenna, but unless I somehow got lucky, I don't know how I could have unwittingly changed something that made the problem go away when I was busy reverting to stock. Tomorrow or the day after I'll probably S-OFF and try a ROM again.

And yes, I do mean shutdowns with the screen suddenly going black and the device starting to boot only when I press the power button. I also actually like this ROM quite a bit so I'm fairly annoyed at my problem being seemingly obscure.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I think it was the other guy calling us the idiots IIRC. And sorry for asking if you definitely meant shutdowns and not reboots, but I've seen plenty of people say one thing but mean the other so thought I'd ask!

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to try it and see. Then if it doesn't work for you then it doesn't work. It does have a pretty good success rate though from what I've read on xda. Hope you get sorted, and if you find anything else keep us posted. :)
