Is this an issue where the SD card randomly unmounts and then won't remount without a reboot?

Do you know what the nature of the corruption is? Like is there bad code in the file or was it just broken somehow and included in the ROM?

Do you know which file in that directory is bad?

And how did you determine that there was a bad file?

I'm not doubting you because I know this is an issue on a few phones (including mine). But those details might help Bruce target the problem and fix it if you really have isolated the problem.
[HTC Sensation] mymeatb18:
Thanks where can I find the battery saver zip. I searched and cant find it

Also I found the kernel thread but it says its not recommended for jb
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Google Tamcore's kernel. You'll find it in the first link. Download the 3.0.53 kernel and scroll down and download the battery saver.zip. I know it's not recommended but battery life is freaking amazing! If you think I'm joking: check out my screen shots.

Oh and if you have anymore questions pm me. We don't want to spam Bruce's thread anymore than we have done now.
[HTC Sensation] meoluoios:
awsome rom, i have no reason for come back ICS rom :D

waiting for completed built
[HTC Sensation] Neutrino22:
Yes, you are correct and there comes a point where a voltage value cannot maintain a set mAh value - in this case 1520mAh and when that voltage dip occurs the mAh is compromised.

Please forgive me, but I couldn't see how the chart was relevant to a voltage/mAh relationship.

I bought a new battery and I'm still having problems. I just rebooted when the phone was on 63 percent, after reboot it reads 73 percent.

I'm going to try and flash 6th January build.
[HTC Sensation] thebosssfst:
my phone wont connect to wifi. When i try to connect it gets stuck on saved! what do i do?
[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
You should rename the kernel zips

The dates of your kernel files mess up the order in which they are listed. I'd suggest you change it so the date format is standard: kernel-bruce2728-YYYYMMDD-GPUOC.zip.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I can't find the download link for battery saver zip for kernel 3.0.53.could someone list it for me or pm it to me. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
English might be your second language, but that came across kind of rude. How about a please and thank you thrown in there? You know bruce can pretty much name them whatever he wants, right? Just sayin'... :D

Try this in WiFi list: menu > advanced> region code

Select a region and see if it connects.
[HTC Sensation] ninjabadger:
Recent apps looking good!

Any difference between sliding up or down off the screen?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] sim17on:
Yes, that's the case.

I started to think if there's something wrong with the card and started formatting it in win7. Well, it seemed that every time the phone had lost the card, Windows offered to fix the card for me. There was this one folder (\Android\data\com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs) which contained only one file (mine was named just "1357676750955") with zero size that caused the error.

Concerning that the error comes from pictures, I removed all pictures and started to put them back to the phone by folder (vignette photos, vignette originals, regular photos etc). I had two pictures on the card that were taken with Canon EOS and resized in Photoshop to be used as contact pic and wallpaper and when I removed them, I still haven't had a SD eject error. Whether it's a coincidence or not, I guess the SD eject problem seems to be related in gallery and thumbnail creation.
[HTC Sensation] sharukins:
thats neither a problem with the battery nor with this ROM, it's an android issue ;)
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
To go ahead and grind this battery discussion on to its ultimate death, bad battery % reporting is not an android issue, but a battery driver issue that falls under HTC's responsibility. :silly:
[HTC Sensation] doncompadre:
i have random reboots, around all 1-2 days. can i install the standard kernel, if yes where to get it. if not can i change any settings to get aware of the reboots?
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
What settings did you change? Use default settings. They're sure to work.
[HTC Sensation] doncompadre:
i didnt change anytrhing but the cpu max speed back to 1296 . i thought this is the normal speed right?

rom is that from 06.Jan
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Yes. That speed is fine.

Did you install Pimp My ROM, Kernel Tuner, System Tuner, Seeder or something similar?

Let's not derail the ROM thread. Answer that on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443587&page=859

Another thing... pull a log and post it here.
[HTC Sensation] doncompadre:
no i installed nothing like that the only thing is the es taskmanager, but i didnt use it till now. i will have a look if the 1.2ghz setting will help.

how to pull a log?
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
No difference
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
That's interesting. And good research!

I had the same SD card ejection problem shortly after moving to he 1/3 build. I had thought it was because I also upgraded to a new SD card at the same time. But I reverted to the 12/21 build and the formatted the SD card on my Ubuntu PC and the problem hasn't come back since. I updated to the 1/6 build and haven't had the issue for the past 2 days now.

If you are right about this, formatting the SD card didn't help me because I restored the exact same contents from before the format. And because the corrupt file you refference wasn't on the SD card anyway.

Try updating to the 1/6 build and see if you're still getting the problem and if that file is still corrupted.. I looked through the changes on GitHub and didn't see anything about this, but I could have easily just missed it if this was something that the CM team did correct.

It's also entirely possible that you just got that corrupted file due to a bad install and I coincidentally had the same SD card ejection issue caused by a bad factory format of my new card. So same issue, difference causes. It's certainly possible and wouldn't be the first time.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Regarding Alarm Manager Wakelocks attributed to the Android System....

This is on the 1/6 build.

9 hours since unplugged, 5 hours of AM Wakelocks caused by Android System.

This is not news in itself. That's been an issue for ages.

But I unplugged my phone last night and it's sat unused and undistrubed for those 9 hours.

I just checked the battery stats graph and thought this to be insanely interesting. Look at the 'awake' bar. The pattern that's showing has to be useful in figuring out what the cause of this is. That's WAY too regular to be some hard to find random code glitch. That alarm HAS to be something that's easy to find and disable, or at least shorted the duration of. (At least that's how it works in the perfect imaginary universe in my mind :D )

I included a logcat as well that shows that entire 9 hour period. I know that's long, but it might help in finding the pattern.

Or it might not be useful at all, in which case....oh well.

I just feel like this alarm manager thing is a glitch and not purposely supposed to be doing this. On my Galaxy Tab 2 that's running CM10.1 (granted it's Android 4.2 and not 4.1 like this ROM so it's not a like to like comparison) if I sat it down for 9 hours I'd have 9 hours of completely deep sleep with no wakes at all. All the graph bars would be black. Better Bat Stats would show no activity at all. So I feel like this is a glitch.

"CPU boosting interface" means:

Add CPU boosting hooks

* Boost CPU to max during scrolling

* Boost CPU to max on activity start/resume

* Inspired by a patch from CodeAuora.

[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Had some crazy problems some minutes ago, you could call it a "random reboot session". It started when I wanted to read a mail, phone did a random reboot. After that, I could barely finish entering my PIN code after booting up, then the phone rebooted again (or even faster). This was repeated 5-6 times, now it's running well again.

I could (obv) only get the last_kmsg after the last reboot.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/keo39qi9z7gz1ul/last_kmsg

ps: I still was using 01/06 build, I'll update to 01/09 now and hope that this won't happen again. IIRC I had this problem once at night, when I was drunk ^^ So I don't really know.. Maybe some of you could get some information from that last_kmsg.

Denitely a Keep

Thank You to The Developer on this fabulous built, I'm enjoying every bit of it. Speed, battery life and the prompt response specially when on the road, the web is fast and very smooth. I have flashed every ROM built for The Pyramid and this one is definitely a keep, thank you and keep up the excellent work.

now my phone is complete.:good:

[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
For some reason my lock screen shows "no sim" and "T-Mobile". It should be one or the other. Phone and data working fine though.
[HTC Sensation] sim17on:
I'm running the 1/6 build now and still got the SD eject bug going on. It has definitely something to do with the gallery and/or thumbnails - at least on my phone. The Vignette camera app uses the card to first save the original picture(s), then in batch runs the effects desired to the pics (VIE). I've had a few sd errors using Vignette and stress loading the camera/gallery apps, I guess now it's 1/9 build time with some logs to catch.
[HTC Sensation] ArionRickAllen:

With a new day release, I should flash a ultimate kernel in this link ?? but which one?

What is a different NOGPUOC and GPUOC??
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
The NOGPUOC has no GPU overclock so;

3d @ 266mhz

2d @ 200mhz

The GPUOC has a GPU overclock;

3d @ 300mhz

2d @ 228mhz

In the rom of bruce is the NOGPUOC kernel standard
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
In the 1st post Bruce tells us we can flash a new rom over an old without wipe..

I know the installation instructions of another rom p.e. where it is highly recommended to wipe completely, even with a special wipe script.

Maybe it's the the same here. I don't now. Only an idea.

A lot of work, but if you wipe and install complete new ?
[HTC Sensation] Cadetto Entusiasta:
Thank you!! I think I will try to overclock GPU kernel!!
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
If there's a

SOP

(Standard Operating Procedure) to flashing custom ROM's, it's this:

If you dirty flash and you have problems (and let's hope you made a nandroid prior to this step), then go back with a clean install. THEN, come back to read/search for others describing the same issue. If nobody else is reporting the same issue, THEN submit a logcat regarding said issue :D
[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
My sincerest apologies to all who were offended.

rojovilla is quite right.

I was unnecessarily blunt when wording my suggestion of renaming the kernel zips and could very well have phrased all of it in a more polite manner.

mea culpa

Thank you for your suggestion, xenios.

That worked like a charm.
[HTC Sensation] thebosssfst:
still doesn't work :(
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Did you by any chance flash a kernel that was meant for ics or sense?

[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
It would be helpful if you provided additional information (diry/clean flash, build date, restoring apps+data, etc.). BTW, your post came across rude :D
[HTC Sensation] pterion:
Sorry, I did not intend to sound rude.

It's a flash of 20130109 over 20121221.
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
Also on 1/6, full wipe. It's never been an issue for me. We might've had this conversation previously, I'm not sure.

For today, my phone is showing 12h 7m on since boot. Deep sleep = 11h 4 m. AM = 39m 8 s. Screen = 9m 50s. 71% batt remaining. I didn't use it much today, just checking pages and email. But I did turn on wifi tehtering for about 30 mins. Tethering seems to be my biggest batt drain. I sync 9 Google services and MS Exchange. GPS is always on as is Google My Location. I do use Badass throttled to 1188. 1.5 yr old original battery. Couldn't be happier. I don't think there's anything wrong with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] johnnyham89:
Anyone know why my apps might not be restoring automatically though the Google Play store? I think it might be related to me having to sign in again to my Google account right after the initial set up and initial log in to my Google account. It is like during the initial set up of the ROM my Google account isn't being recognized/saved which requires me to sign in later after the install and not have my apps restored.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
That's very weird, I like it. Try clearing cache in recovery? If that doesn't work, remove SIM and boot without it, then try again.

I like weird bugs like this, they're fun. :)
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
It clears itself up with a reboot most of the time. Haven't had the issue with today's build yet but I've only rebooted once.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Had that.

Removing the account it not enough, clear all app data as well (Edit: both Email and Exchange apps). I think I even got the extra mile and cleared dalvik+cache. I just got tired of entering all the damn credential info over and over.

BTW, if you wish, and won't mind breaking corporate regulations, there's a mod for an exchange without password locking.

[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Awesome work Bruce, been using this ROM as a second driver and about to promote it. It's so smooth I hardly miss sense anymore!

Quick question, seems that some of the builds (as the 1/9) are small upgrades compared to the prev one (read: small in diff size, not minor importance). Is there a chance for an 'update pack'? I ain't asking for an ota, just so we won't all have to download the entire ROM.

Thanks bro.
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
With the jan6th build (old build: 21dec) i have an amazing win on battery time. Right now my device is on for 2.5 days and still 40% remaining. i never had that before.

The sensation is going to be a really good device again. Whats up with the new nexus? is it still such a battery eater?

Bruce, i really want to say thank you and the CM team for your fantastic job on this build.

I have no sound for in calls only vibrate I'm on 20130109, I have sound for notifications, but not phone calls!!!

Does any one have this problem, I tried 20130103 and 20130106 builds and have the same problem, came from OpenSensation2

Apparently in builds 20130106 and 20130109 have VOIP problems, everything is fine if I replace this files audio_policy.default.so, audio_policy.msm8660.so, from the 20130103 build.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] :
I had this when I first flashed the ROM and came from HTC stock rom. I then flashed 06/01/13 and it worked all fine again. Did you do a full wipe as descriped in the second post when coming from another ROM?
[HTC Sensation] l3ullseye:
Well if I remember correctly it's really not a different ROM, it only has some extra tweaks, so I have done this before back and forth and never had this kind of issues
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Sorry about audio guys, hard to test with no speaker or radio, I'll have my sensation back after the weekend so will fix it then.

For now just take the audio_ policy.msm8660.so from Jan 3rd build.

I'll upload a patched build later if I have time.
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
yes - I totally agree. similar behavior on my phone. I use 21122012.

regarding wakelocks I reboot every time after a full charge, this does not take much time. if I dont do so, wakelocks are increasing with the days. as a gut feeling, i did not investigated this in detail.

also usefull is an app which is able to kill all tasks but those marked in a exception list, p.e android tuner.

I'm happy with the rom. great performance. great battery live. it brought my phone back to live. thanks, bruce!

I dont say, that there is no problem, i just want to say: there are devices without a problem.
[HTC Sensation] Omertron:
I get this with both Acast (podcast player) and Google Music.

Once a fortnight or so, there will be a loud "whine" through the speakers, the phone will lock up and reboot. Then everything is fine for another couple of weeks. I'm never able to get a logcat because I am usually driving at the time, but this has been happening since October time.

Can't complain about the ROM otherwise though ;)

Battery Life

There has been a lot of talk about battery life in this thread.

I just got a new battery. Holy cow! It solves all your problems.

I'm at a 36 hours since charged with 52% remaining. (Granted, not heavy use during that time, but the stock battery I had that came with the phone would have drained to empty by now without me even touching the phone.)

This is with the Anker 1900 mAh batteries. But even a new stock battery probably would have given me serious improvement.

I consider this ROM related because of all the talk about battery life and rapid draining that has been attributed to the ROM lately (including my own posts!). New batteries are cheap, try one out and I'll bet you that it cures your battery drain problem. Stock batteries are like $8 on Amazon. extended capacity batteries are $17 and up. Not a lot of money to stop battery drain and prove that the ROM isn't the problem.

I regularly get 50 hours+ with an Anker I bought in September 2011 :D
