Anyone else's wifi signal poor or below average? My wifi has also been turning off randomly, mostly after midnight. Is there a way to disable that smart sync that turns it off?

Also what is the number code you have to type in the phone to be able to set the phone to 3G only? My phone keeps using EDGE when i know there is 3g available (even if its 1-2 bars where as EDGE has full bars)

Okay here's something new on the broken data flicking on and off issue that might help.....

I was on the 9/18 build. I had data working perfectly fine 30 minutes ago. Was working all morning.

I did a full wipe and installed the 9/20 build clean. Data was broken immediately upon first boot.

I reverted back to a nandroid of the 9/18 build that I made all of 45 minutes ago.

On first boot with the nandroid back up and known working data.....data is still broken.

Something got changed during either the full wipe or the flash of the new ROM. I don't believe the timing was just a coincidence.

What could have been altered in that process that would break data so badly that a full restoration of a nandroid wouldn't fix it?

Keep in mind that cell tower connections in general are fine and stable. Voice calls are not affected at all.

Feedback from 9/20

Hey all,

I've been running this ROM for quite some time, as my daily user (I like to live dangerously). Found that cleaning up the cache and data from the apps that are acting up or re flashing resolves most of the issues.

Way to go Bruce!!!- Probalby tired of it already

Since 9/15 build haven't been able to get decent life out of my phone, looked at the battery stats and today maps shows up with 10% and Android Core apps with another 10%. I haven't used any maps today but I guess that is also the location services.

I've been using the same config for CPU (192 - 1566) Badass and I/O CPQ. My wife has the same phone to I changed batteries with her just to test if there was something physical and I get the same performance (both batteries are Anker) also switched back to standard and it eats it up like there is no tomorrow (exaggeration). I don't remember which ROM it was 17 or 15 (a week and a half ago) where I got to 11 pm with 60% left.

I have seen many posts with apps to log battery use, which one do you guys preffer?

[HTC Sensation] :
I didn't do a full wipe before my data problems started a couple of weeks ago. I did do a full wipe when I moved back to 9/18 after trying out Paranoid Android for a couple of days, and my data has been working fine. *knocks on wood*

I still can't get my build to work with Bruce's repos, so I can't do anything with that right now. And Bruce has said that he's been busy, so I don't want to bug him.

This ROM is amazing. It's so fast and smooth. I know I will get yelled at for asking, but any ETA on adding wifi calling yet?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
At least you know you'll get yelled at for asking. That's a step in the right direction.

It will be available about 20 minutes after T Mobile releases a JB ROM with WiFi calling working. Not a second before.
[HTC Sensation] HF299:
FYI

I was not amused about the randomly unexpected reboots.

But then I got this experience:

Only when I used the Anker battery my phone reboots sometimes without putting my hands on.

It never reboots automatically with stock battery, never. Isn't that strange?

This happens only when I'm using CMX ROMs and the Anker battery. But not on any sense or CM9 ROM.

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I'm using cm git now, that's why mine hasn't been updated
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Just for laughs I tried running a Paranandroid build just to see if flashing it would fix the data.

Data is still broke in the latest Paranandroid. I know it says that it's ixed, but it's not. Right from first boot data was bouncing on and off just like it does for any other AOSP ROM you try while having this problem.

How in the hell can something that breaks in 1 rom still be broke in another ROM?

It's not a hardware issue because data works perfectly if I run a Sense ROM. It works perfectly in Sense from the first boot, and will continue working no matter how many times I reboot, turn data on and off, or anything else I try that might break it.

But flash back to AOSP, ANY AOSP, and it's broken again until it randomly decides to fix itself.

The only thing I can think of that changes with a fresh install after a full wipe is that the fresh install puts those extra APN's back. Could the SIM be registering with those alternate APN's then because it was registering with them, T Mobile's main APN no longer wants to connect because it feels like the SIM is registered with another network? (That's just completely random spitballing....and it doesn't explain why a perfectly working ROM that has all 3 APN's suddenly develops data bouncing out of nowhere.)

I'd done this previously. It didn't help at all. It's a good thought though.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
If it was a WiFi problem I would say its a possible boot image problem because WiFi is dependant on boot image but I don't think that affect regular data.

REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU IN ANY WAY, IT'S POLITE AND APPRECIATED.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well wait a second now....

Doesn't the phone not differentiate between mobile data and wifi as an internet source? Maybe boot.img is involved not as a driver for the mobile data hardware, but as an internet gateway.

Though wouldn't flashign a fresh ROM overwrite boot.img?
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
I haven't had the data issues in Cincinnati, but I flash the tmous dish3 every time. Might be worth a shot
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
Do you have a link for where to find this?
[HTC Sensation] :
I haven't touched my SD card because the comments seemed to indicate that the SD card didn't make a difference. Also, I had data bouncing regardless of whether or not I even had my SD card inserted.

Must've just been luck, then, that it worked for me when I switched to PA. But now that I recall, the netmgrd that DragunKorr posted also didn't do anything for me. So if that was supposed to be the "magic bullet" for data by itself, then I can confirm that the fix is, at least, incomplete.

I used to flash DiSH3 every time, as well; I only got lazy when I came back to Bruce's 9/18, but I'm not having data issues (at least not right now), anyway.

It was deffinately worth a shot. But I tried it to no avail.

First reboot, data issue is still present.

This data thing is pissing me off not because I absolutely need data, but because I feel like there's something REALLY simple that could fix it that we're not thinking of.

Here is everything I've done.

To fix this I've tired the following...

Check 2G networks only and switch back. Problem remains, and still blinks E on the EDGE networks rather than being solid on them.

Updated the radio. Problem remains.

Updated the entire firmware package. Problem remains.

Superwipe and flashed Sense, verify data works well. Then regular wipe and flash a fresh install of CM10. Problem remains. (This is how we KNOW that it's an AOSP issue and not a hardware issue. And it doesn't matter what AOSP ROM I flash to after getting data workign in Sense. It won't work.)

Flashed clean version of CM10 and fixed permissions. Problem remains.

I've turned data on and called the phone....doens't help.

Made calls from the phone. Doesn't help.

It's not related to Wifi at all because I've created the error on fresh installs of CM10 before ever turning Wifi on.

Formatted SD card. Problem remains (and just to be sure I got the error while the blank formatted SD was removed from the device)

Checked the APN's 100 times. They are correct.

Spent an hour on the phone with T Mobile. Their tech said everything looked good on their end. He cleared the SIM and reactivated it. Problem remained.

Could this be a SIM issue? It connects fine on Sense ROMs. I just don't see how the SIM would care what ROM I'm using.
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
Only issue I have actually run into, is Wifi disconnecting itself.

No sweat though as I have set some tasker profiles to toggle it and fix it.

For your info, I did a full wipe

Have you tried to go into wireless settings > mobile network settings > network operators and set it to manual and then back to automatic. Also enable or disable roaming settings.

anker might just be loose. try to shim it yet?
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
The reason the same things are broke in different aosp roms (ie data issues) is they all use the same device tree. I suspect the revert to legacy ril my be playing a role.
[HTC Sensation] Hamsterkill:
Haven't had the infamous data issue, so pardon me for asking details I'm sure have been answered about it, but does the data issue still occur when only using EDGE or GPRS? Does it occur when using WiFi? Is it affecting other devices or just ours?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I'm doing it now. When I click on 'Network Opperators' it starts 'searching' for about 2 minutes then gives an error message that says "error when searching for mobile networks".

I'm then dumped into a menu that says Search Networks (which will restart that process of getting the error message) and Choose Automatically (which I cannot switch to Manual)

I selected Choose Automatically and it said I registered with teh network, but data didn't improve.
[HTC Sensation] j_r0dd:
The only thing that has fixed my data issue is going back to sense for a couple days. Immediately after restoring a sense nandroid my data returns. If I try restoring a nandroid of aosp or doing a fresh install of aosp the data issue comes back. The data issue fixes itself temporarily but returns about once a month or will act sporadic for a couple hours. It is an issue with aosp.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It occurs no matter what data speed you're set to. The E blinks just as much as the H.

It does NOT occur when using Wifi.

I have no idea if it affects other devices.

I agree that it's something in the AOSP device tree. It just baffles me that only affects some people, and that it happens randomly, and that restoring or fresh flashign a ROM doesn't fix it.

For the record I wouldn't make such a big deal about it in this thread if it was only me who was experiencing it. I don't want to louse up the thread for my problems. But since it's a significant number of people who have the issue intermitently, I want to help fix it. I'm probably less reliant on mobile data than anyone who owns a SmartPhone anywhere in the world. But I know a lot of people raelly need it to work and Bruce's ROM is just too f'ing good to give up on due to a pesky little problem like this.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I don't think that returning to Sense roms actually fixes it. I think that it just takes a couple of days to rectify itself no matter what and that spening time on a Sense ROM just holds you over until the AOSP problem naturally remidies itself.

I've noticed the same thing about it takes a couple days to repair itself. But I've stayed on CM10 during that time and it still just came back on it's own.

Strangest thing is going on for me...all of my rintones, notification tones, and alarms are missing from the Media Picker. I checked in RootExplorer, and they're all still there in the folder.

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
@Bruce, I compiled my second build last night. I used the audio folder from your git and the display folder from intervigilium's git. I also used the config.xml from febycv in device/htc/pyramid/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values. It seems like the build is pretty much on par with yours.

Mic works fine for calls, but nothing else.

The 3.5 has no output, I tried it with two pair of headphones and my external computer speakers. Probably a driver or routing issue, I hope routing.

Bleeding effect on notifications, only occasionally not every notification.

Video playback is not visible but you hear the audio. Player plays in portrait and landscape but no visual video output.

Hi Bruce,

First of all, THANK YOU for the work on this ROM, it is awesome !

Second, I think you can move the ROM form Alpha to Beta...

Third, I found a bug in the sound, every time that I disconnect the headphones, the volume jumps back to about 60% (every time I need to "volume up")

Can someone confirm this ?

thanks...
[HTC Sensation] jadashouse:
Hello I love this ROM but does Navigation work? I don't see anything about that anywhere.
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I have a feeling this is related to the "Safe Headset Volume" option under Sounds. It is supposed to keep you from blowing up your eardrums or your speakers from having the volume too high when connecting your headphones.

It is probably also engaging when disabling your headphones too.

It works perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] jadashouse:
Thanks but I cant figure out how to use it there is no Navigation icon and Google now only shows web results.
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:

[HTC Sensation] j_r0dd:
"Fixed" was a bad term to use. Let's just say data works fine on sense. The data issue is a major issue which gets overlooked. Maybe Intervigel can track it down. Curious if this is a sensation specific issue or if other 8660 devices have it as well.
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
@ Skipjacks

Not that this is a fix, more of a work around but might give some insight into what the problem actually is. Have you tried sending yourself a text then selecting "Choose automatically" under "Network operators"? Worked for others and me on Paranoid, haven't had the issue on Bruce's build since I tried on Paranoid so I don't know if it will work here or not.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well I think it's getting overlooked because the developers who are making the changes don't have the problem. And I don't mean that in a negative way at all....but how can Bruce track down the source of a problem that can't replicate at all that may only exist on a mobile network that's 3000 miles from his house on another continent? (That's assuming this is mostly a T Mobile USA issue, which I THINK most of us who have the problem use)

The answer is that he probably can't. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to fix it, but if it's relating to a network problem that he has no access too...I mean he's not a miricle worker despite what a miricle his CM10 builds have been.

Again, just to be VERY clear on this point.....no one's blaming Bruce for not fixing this and I don't think any of us could possibly be more appreciateive of all that Bruce has done.

Also, if you love this ROM, give Bruce a few bucks! Stop being a cheapskate! He's earned it!
[HTC Sensation] gjunky:
I had the data issue on a previous build and started to see a number of messages about it here. I had the exact same behavior as described here. Since I couldn't use my phone like this I restored a previous ROM (from recovery restore). I didn't name them and it ended up being a CM9 (non-sense) related ROM. Data worked fine again. I waited for a few more days and ended up installing CM10 again. I think I flashed right over the CM9 ROM (no wipe). This was at least a week ago and I have installed new builds (no wipe, no clearing of cache) a few times since. Data is still working for me. Not sure if this is a coincidence but if you happen to have a CM9 restore handy, perhaps you can try it....
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You miracle creating son of a b----! :highfive::good::fingers-crossed::D:victory::laugh:

After all the crazy stuff I've tried, that worked immediately. I'd sent texts to other people and gotten texts for other people and that didn't fix it. But texting myself....I never would have thought of that....I mean who does that?

Now that should put this issue well on the road to recovery. If we know that cures it, there can't be more than a handful of things that could be causing the problem in the first place.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I've deffinately noticed the trend of the problem only occuring with people on T Mobile USA.

I figured there was nothing you could do about it. But knowing that a text message to yourself fixes the problem has to narrow down the possible causes.

Thank you for at least trying to figure it out! You're the best!

[HTC Sensation] darkriftx:
To anyone having data problems...it is a kernel issue. The only time I've ever had data go out on my phone was with a version of the Bricked kernel in an InsertCoin release sometime back. Not everyone had the problem either. A kernel fix was released a few days later and the problem was solved. Please remember that the kernel is the most complex software piece and the only place services such as Bluetooth, WiFi, data, calling, GPS, and other core phone hardware features are exposed to the user portion of the operating system. The kernel also interfaces with the lower level firmware. The problem could be coming from there as well.

Bruce, thanks again for the great ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Hamsterkill:
It's still not everyone that's on T-Mo USA either, though (since I've never seen it).

I wonder, did you ever try pulling the battery for a couple minutes? Did that help at all? The text message trick might help track it down (though honestly, the fact that that worked baffles me a bit more -- SMS shouldn't even need to use a data connection), but its persistence through ROM flashing makes it seem as if the modem is getting screwed up in hardware where a hard power loss might help reset it, too.
