Mine is getting that temperature when i am playing Shadowgun or Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus. With FIFA the latest one i got barrely 39C. I think that this is a normal issue.

And no that isn't just with HTC. It is with all phones out there. Except if you got down clocked it. But then again it can't be 29-30C all the time...
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
But doesn't it affect the battery? this morning i used it for browsing and listening to music, also i did youtube streaming for about 30 minutes(it took so long for buffering). it drained faster than usual,

or is it because the place i used it for browsing was in low signal? so it drained more to get the signal.

Anyway thanks for the telling, i was thinking of changing the phone, but since the others also have the same problem, i will not change it and stay with my SXL :D
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Bad signal is the main battery drain problem of all. I was once on a cabin in the woods, i got to tell you man the battery was like Kim Kardashian's ass....big volume less durability :laugh:

Have fun with the big white boss ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Okay :D

I am thinking to root my phone, and maybe will downgrade it and later may try a custom rom.

But if i do such thing as install custom rom, unlock relock bootloader, will it format everything include the phone storage or just the internal storage?

Since it has no external sd card so i am not really sure of it.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Just unlock and relock the bootloader wouldn't wipe your data. It is good though if you do backup from the current rom after root. That way you can't loose your data ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
But what if i install custom rom?

I have to wipe those data, cache, etc.

Will it wipe everything include phone storage?
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yes it will! So backup your data ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] xbiggyl:
Root your phone while keeping the stock ROM.

Install Titanium Backup.

Make a backup of all the apps you wish to keep.

Flash a new ROM.

Reinstall Titanium Backup.

Restore your apps.

IMPORTANT: make a nandroid backup before you flash your new ROM, to be on the safe side.

Titanium Backup (FREE)

[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Hi, the heat issue is still bothering me, do all phones start to get hot(39-4* Celcius) in just a few minutes(about 5-10 minutes web browsing)

My SXL does it and the battery keep draining.

It surely bothers me that i have to charge the phone twice a day and an uncomfortable feeling in my hand.

Considering the phone's battery is 1750mAh it will be able to last 3-5 hours, isn't it?

But my battery monitor says 1hours 25minutes remaining in 44 celcius.

*Web browsing only reaches 43 celcius

Web browsing + music last time reached 44 celcius.
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Something is wrong , my sxl is max 35 celcius no matter what but in normal use it is 30 degrees like now :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
I just tested my SXL

it was in a very cool condition because of the fan on my desk

29 celcius at 21.49 o'clock

i closed the fan and i tried to do a web browsing until 21.56 o'clock it reached 35 celcius

i didn't really hold the phone, and my room has an air conditioner.

I don't mind if the max is 35 celcius, but mine can be more than 35...

How about if i send it to HTC service centre?

I heard the service centre review was so bad.

also am i able to get the warranty back by flashing it back into stock rom?
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
No you can't. Because if you relock the BT it will be "RE-Locked" in the BT menu, not "Locked". But if you go trough with flashing a stock rom.......then you are lucky.

But just tellin ya, they do not give a ratsa** about the condition of the phone after they return it to you. You can get it back with scratches or worse.

Keep that in mind...
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Overheating is a problem on most laptops and phone during heavy usage/load. I had a friend that used to put his iPhone 4S in the fridge after playing a few hours some games, so nothing to worry about this, also, my Dell Streak used to overheat when i was playing games, browsing and streaming videos on WiFi and charging it, but nothing to worry, it's normal, if your phone doesn't randomly reboot then there is no problem to it, all hardwares have "safety switches" that underclock the processor (laptops) on the fly or reboots/turns off the processor (phones and pretty much everything).

:)
[HTC Sensation XL] H-Streety:
Well, maybe it's because you are very attractive person. :D

No, really. It's a common issue.
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Just as i thought

:(

Seems like i have to deal with this phone for awhile

I have no idea what i have to do with this phone if i change another phone.

But my SXL temperature raises to fast, i use mobile network, and only web browsing in a few minutes, it becomes hot

i think it is usual if heavy usage, but i only web browsing for a few minutes. it just my phone uses auto brightness so it is so bright( it think usually about 30-50%) when i use it. i tried to turn off the auto brightness and lower it but seem no change at all.
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Hhahah :good:

in just a few minutes web browsing can reach 35-41 celcius is also common?

does your phone like that too?
[HTC Sensation XL] H-Streety:
Yeah, even when I'm just on Facebook, I guess that we just need to live with it.
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Ow, how about your battery life?

Seems like it drains 1% every minute when i am using it.

Another phone also like this? How about the phone with snapdragon s4?

Ever tried it?

Replying this made my phone reached 40 celcius.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Well we had that discussion already. You can find it here. I am very glad with the battery life of my SXL.

The One XL that i have...with S4 is almost the same. Nothing different about temperature etc......
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Hm, may i ask your battery life?

I think mine can only last 1hour 30minutes browsing without stop.

It drains 1% every 1 minute
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
:eek::eek::eek::eek: If i play shadowgun or fifa 2012 i got almost 4-5hrs before i charge it.

I can't stop thinking that you got some app that drains your battery......i don't know.

I got that once with a battery disc app on my phone. 1% every minute. Some faulty app can cause the drain. Maybe you have some task manager which kills the apps and they start again and again. I don't know. Have you tried to wipe everything i mean hard reset?
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Yes, i have, everytime i install the rom i wipe everything first.

The only task manager i have is the stock one.

And i noticed stock browser drains more battery.

I have ever played Shadow Gun when i just bought this phone but i don't think it could last 4-5 hrs.

I tried playing Dead Trigger

maybe 10minutes, it drains about 20%

Seems like i have to try playing game on another phone for 30 minutes to see how is it

:D
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yup. Moder Combat 2 Black Pegasus i play almost every day, online! And i got to tell you the battery is holding up normal.....
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Seems like my phone really got problem

Do you know your temperature after you finished playing Modern Combat?

Mine got into 43 celcius after about 10 minutes playing Dead Trigger.

I plan on changing my phone, but what to do with this phone :(
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
The lowest temperature which i got is with fifa 39C. With Modern Combat i got about 41-42C after i end playin. And it is kinda normal because of the single core. When the game is graphic intense you can't hope for 33C all the way.

But to lift every doubt you can give it to service and hope for some solution ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
I think so, but my phone gets hot too quickly.

You can play it for more than an hour right? i played Dead Trigger for 10 minutes, my screen had become warm, back side became hot, and my palm was wet of sweat.

Even if i don't really hold the phone, the phone also gets hot quickly
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
What do you think about my phone?

When your phone is in 42c does it feel HOT that makes your hand uncomfortable? or only warm?

:(
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
I got silicon case on the back of my phone and even with it, i can't complain about the temp ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
So seems like my phone got problem?

I bought this phone in Singapore, i read their HTC Care review, it was so bad, and my warranty has void too.

I wonder how if i replace the battery, will it help?

i have read that extended battery doesn't help much as it only charges until 80% due to the kernel right?

My mobile network and auto brightness always turn on.

never kill apps, no widget.

I think except auto brightness, the rest are okay right?

how about your phone? how you use it?
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
I don't wanna spam again...... I have brightness always on 100%. The built-in task manager for apps. Mobile network and wi-fi always off when i not use them. 3 home screens. And always uninstall apps that i don't use. That's it!
[HTC Sensation XL] Riaes:
Ok, thanks for your telling

Now i am sure that my phone got problem

Hi XDAians

I used HTC One X of a friend, and I am thinking to have Sense 4.0 on my HTC Sensation. It's running stock ICS ROM.

So please suggest me which custom ROM should I install? That is most bug free and good in performance.

I appreciate your responses.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi there, I highly suggest trying out SEVERAL different roms for yourself to form your own opinion. I like lightning Rom because its proven to be fast smooth and very STABLE! But it all depends on your personal likes and goals. You will get all sorts of different opinions with this question. I suggest you read each developers change logs As they are very up front about what is working and what is not. There are many different roms for different tastes and goals. I like sense 4 personally this is why I like lightning. I like to have stability and speed and customization. Lightning Rom gives me all that. But opnions differ. This is why It's always best to try them out for yourself! Remember to make nandroid back ups so you can restore your current Rom without problem if you don't like a Rom or it doesn't suit your needs. This is the fun part! Trust me don't just take sometimes word you MUST try for yourself! We all are different and its wonderful that the developers have given us so many great choices in Roms so go shopping and try out to see what you like best ! With my Rom it has the newest camera and over the air updates which makes it so nice. Your alerted when there is a new update or mod available which is a wonderful feature! Not every one has the time to check for updates so this makes this feature so nice. When there is a update you don't have to download from your computer you do it all on your device. It is very convenient . But I still highly recommend you trying out SEVERAL and see which Rom suits you the best. I hope I've helped! Happy flashing!
[HTC Sensation] GreatSudoku:
The Viper ROM, imho feels the most complete of any sense 4.0 ROM for the HTC Sensation. There's so many UI and performance settings that Viper allows you tweak that other Sense 4.0 ROMS just don't have.

That said there are a few other decent Sens 4.0 ROMs worth trying. The SmartDroid Daemon is a close second, RMS Blue Sense on the list for looking the most visually pleasing, and some people like the new LIghtningROM. I'd say try out all 4, Start with Viper, use it as a basis of comparison against the others. Back each ROM so you can restore it later should you want to go back to it. I've tried all the Sense 4.0 ROMs out there for the Sensation, most of them are indistinguishable from each other, these are the four that really stand out from the crowd.
[HTC Sensation] tahirakramch:
realsis thanks for an insight and motivating me to flash my phone. I am looking for scroll speed and efficiency with the white interface of Sense 4.0. I have started my hunt and reading changelogs. I hope I will get some thing that I want.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Your very welcome! I'm sure you will find the right Rom ! This is the fun part! The experimenting! :) have fun and remember to do your backups!
[HTC Sensation] lieudusty:
I personaly like the Android Revolution HD rom. Its fast and I haven't had any problems yet.
[HTC Sensation] Tim_ofzo:
Android Revolution is a Sense 3.6 rom ;)

I suggest Virtouos S4X. I think is the best

Installing ROM

Hi Guys!! I'm new to this site and I am new to android too since i used to own a i-device (I know...mistake...i had to try the enemy first before judging it!) Anyway, I have some experience with Jailbreaking and unlocking and stuff but I am new to rooting. I got an HTC Sensation (factory unlocked) just like the you guys and I wanted to install the Team Venom's ROM on my device. So I was wondering, how harder is it to root your device compared to Jailbreaking for instance? Cuz my phone is still on warranty and i dont feel like messing it up already! Thank you very much for your support!!!
[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
I personally prefer Viper. It offers a lot of customization options, and is quite fast too.

@sches741: It's different for each android phone. It isn't super hard on the Sensation, but I think jailbreaking is easier (I have an iPod).

You'll need to use HTC's unlock with 1.22.651.3

where do i find the unlock? Sorry i am fairly new at this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
You'll probably get flamed for not searching, as this is a common question. But anyway, go to htcdev.com and on the right side where it says choose device, look for 'other devices' or so me things similar. Also read a lot about rooting, everything you need is in the dev section. If you get stuck let us know

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] champ052005:
What others have said. Just wanted to add in that your warranty will be void if you unlock with htcdev

To some it matters, to others it does not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
This only voids your HTC warranty. When was the last time anyone has used that?

It does NOT prevent you from getting repairs through sprint or insurance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
HTC's warranty is lame anyway. You have to send your phone to them and it could be gone for a month.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrjasenr:
This is funny because my already htcdev rooted, and reverted back evo is now in Texas for my camera repair. No mention

yet that I have voided my warranty, we'll see what happens. They better not say rooting fuk'd my camera, it went out gradually.

NOW FIX MY F"N PHONE!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johntash:
The disclaimer said that it may void parts of the warranty, so I'm hoping they'll still fix hardware issues like that. Unless they want to start making claims about rooting breaking things at a hardware level.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
Not sure if you have rooted a phone before, but i just rooted my phone for the first time last weekend this way and it's really easy. Best of luck but i don't think you should have any issues figuring it out though.

This is the way i did it though. Having the written instructions and the video really helped. http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/

S-off

If you root your phone on 122.651.3, it must be done through htcdev and you still could file an insurance claim with sprint?

Is there a way to S-off the phone...I will not touch until I can do both!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloak.n.dagger:
So, my predicament is a little different. Prior to the OTA update (not sure what the OS version was at that time) I used the one click script root method to root my phone, it worked perfectly. With root access, I installed GooManager and installed TWRP recovery. After that I used the Panda S-Off method to get to s-off. With all three pieces in place, I never flashed a custom ROM (primarily becasue they are all Sense based ROMs and I am looking for a way to fix the multitasking issue) because I realized that I didn't clear out my Google Wallet settings prior to rooting my phone. After reading a few threads on the NFC sensitivity I decided to RUU my phone back to stock to try to recover my NFC/Google Wallet functionality. After RUUing my phone, I was surprised to see that the bootloader was still reporting s-off, but recover was back to stock and I had no root access. I was able to recover NFC and get GW working again. At this point the OTA came out, so I decided to take it. Now I am on the latest OS version 1.22.651.3 and there is no root method available except the HTC unlock. I'm just wondering if there are any "unique" options for me since I have s-off, but don't have root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] strangemcd:
Really? I don't know why but I was under the impression that if you were HTCDev unlocked that it would invalidate any repairs or replacements through Sprint as well. I figured they had an agreement to communicate this to one another. Have you had personal experience that can validate this?

[edit] I suppose you would just relock the bootloader and then unroot and Sprint would have no idea you ever did anything? Is this correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Sprint does NOT care if you are rooted. They will still repair the device if it is not rooting that directly caused the issue. Its a company wide policy.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Yes, you can can unlock via HTc dev and still get an insurance claim.

No you cannot get S-OFF (although the past S-OFF method worked even if you were already unlocked, so it may not even matter)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
So the moral of the story is if my phone is completely stock and I want to eventually fully root it either s-off I need to ignore the 1.22.651.3 update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Theres no reason to wait. S-OFF wont wipe your data or anything like that. Do it while you still can. You can S-OFF the device and run the bootloader customizer so it shows S-ON and locked.

Sprint will never know you rooted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
the last time I rooted a phone was when the evo 3d dropped. so everything since then is over my head. since Im still on 651.1 I'm trying to figure out what steps I need to follow and what different options/ways of rooting there are. What's the best way? I see this way http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 and the regaw and the lazy panda and I think a few more. I just want the phone fully rooted like my evo and evo 3d were. but I'm reading about google wallet, rooting, unlocking bootloader, s-off, custom recovery, I thought this was all done in a step or two before...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
It is pretty much 2 steps

Use this first (STEP 1):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577

Then lazypanda (STEP 2).

Everythings automated. When you get S-OFF you can flash a custom ROM, or leave the one you currently have. Just remember to never take an OTA

I'd suggest running the bootloader customizer too once S-OFF has been achieved. Once again, all automated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] strangemcd:
Appreciate the reply. It's been years since I was a Sprint customer, last phone I had with them until now was a Blackberry Curve 8330, so their policies with various Android stuff is still new to me but I'm glad to hear it's not a big deal. I think I may actually htc unlock this weekend then and finally give some custom roms a test run.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mortabo:
Use the RegawMOD root, its automated and easy and he updated it to the 1.22....3 version, only problem I had was installing the root.zip in TWRP at the end of the install, there are real good instruction on pages 81-83 of that forum to help if you cant locate the .zip file. Worked great for me and am rooted, no s-off though will have to wait till there is a reliable exploit, the lazy panda method is too risky for me right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rclai:
Yes, do use Regawd's unlocking/rooting tool, it is very easy to use, he has updated it for the new OTA. Just make sure you read the last few pages of the thread because there is a step in which you do have to look for a zip file that is in your computer that the tool plants and you have to manually get that zip file and copy it in your phone.

Anyway to root without erasing everything?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmmc:
Hi All,

First off, thanks for taking the trouble read my post!

In the attempt to root my I9100G phone using Odin and GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar, I stupidly followed the wrong instructions at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679778

I didn't have ICS - only GB - so I was completely wrong. Whilst Odin said success, the phone now only boots into Recovery Mode.

1) I can't enter Download Mode - I've tried but the Download screen just blinks and then CWM-Based Recovery Mode reappears.

2) I have tried wiping the cache

3) I have tried wiping data/factory reset

4) If I try to plug in the USB cable whilst in Recovery Mode, Odin does not recognise/detect the phone

5) The only way for me to shut down the phone now is to pull the battery out

I have also tried following Phistachio's Guide on "Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G" but since Odin does not detect the phone when I plug the USB cable, I can't get past Step 3.

I'm a noob so according to the XDA video, I hate myself for messing up! I would appreciate ANY help - as I'm such a noob, please try to speak to me like you would to a 5-year old.

Thanks

------------------------------

Dear All,

I'm happy to report that by the grace of Jesus Christ alone - after trying multiple times to quickly press the Volume Up key when the Downloading screen blinked, Odin suddenly detected the device - and I immediate proceeded to flash it with superatmos_I9100G_kernel_v3.2.tar

The phone has now started up and I'm in the process of restoring backups.

Thank you!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tefanym:
so u can boot into recovery mode.. why not flash another kernel through recovery mode

1)just pull out your SD card and connect it to ur computer through any SD reader

2)download the .zip file of any custom kernel u like and the put ur SD back in ur phone and flash that kernel and install that zip file from your recovery then wipe cache and data and see what happens

Note : u can do that also with a whole rom ( cwm flashable )
