I gotta tell you my gut feeling says its a hardware issue to me. You may have no choice but to return it to sprint and have them fix it. I would as a suggestion flash the ics ruu file for now and return it so they won't give you no crap about the phone. You can always take it to one of there repair shops and tell them you do not want any additional software added to it. Best of luck to you.

That's what I'm thinking, too. I may just deal with it until my contract is up in May

Hello, for example i took the SteelSeries Siberia (In-Ear) and i connected it to the Sensation...

Well the sound is okay, but if i get some bad headsets in 1$. the sound will be kind same.

and then i connected the Siberia In-Ear to the Iphone (4S), and the sound was so good!

The volume and the quality was away higher.

Why? I really wanted to bought it, but its not worth it because the sound is bad that it connect to my Sensation.

Can I fix this?

Thank You, Adar.

[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
The sound quality depends on the rom/kernel.

Beats Audio

well buddy you should had posted the ROM details.

Preferably, any of the ROMs with beats audio should be good.. these days htc ville is comming with good sound mixers.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Also at play here is the DAC the Sensation uses and the amp to power the headphone jack.

The beats is just an EQ and sound horrible IMO get dspmanager and flash bricked kernel it will be good then..

I know that I must have missed a step in these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397

I am using an rooted EVO lte, with S-On (why I followed this thread with specific instructions with work around instructions)

I downloaded the zip file and was able to open up FlashImage and flash the zip file (the software found the correct file after indexing the .zip file). I rebooted the phone and held down volume down to get to the bootloader screen.

The only options I have are:

Fastboot

Recovery

Factory Reset

Clear Storage

Simlock

Image crc

Show Barcode.

I have tried Fastboot, recovery, and factory rest but all just restart the phone. When I try to restart the phone, it cycles through the HTC loading screens and then reboots again.

Is there anyway to save my phone?

Thanks in advance; your threads have been really helpful in the past.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Relock and run an RUU from the fastboot menu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
If you use flash image you don't need to hold anything it has the option to boot recovery, it is only for the kernel, from there you boot to recovery and flash the rom and that should be it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The phone wont boot, so flash image GUI is useless. Exactly why I suggest people dont use it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
The op never stated whether they actually flashed the ROM, for some reason they booted to the boot loader manually?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The way I read it the phone will only boot to the bootloader
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
The thread linked is cm9 op states after flash image they rebooted the phone and held volume down, and get to the boot loader screen but stops there no where is it mentioned cm9 ROM was flashed which leads me to believe they never jumped into recovery to flash rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spikedupclay:
I believe you are right. I tried to follow this step but could not verify it was done correctly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
The ROM is flashed seperately from the kernel, as soon as flash img is done it gives the option to reboot directly into the recovery, this is because the ROM is flashed next. Since you are going from sense to aosp you need to clear dalvik, cache, factory reset, then system wipe and then install and select your rom. Anytime you install a different ROM sense or aosp, you need to wipe the phone. Take a look at my guide, I go over the various issues that could happen and do my beat to explain why. I also list a ton of info in android in general
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spikedupclay:
Thanks; do I do this all from the bootloader screen? I don't see all of these as options.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You need to select recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spikedupclay:
I think I am missing where I have the option to install/select a ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
After twrp shade rolls away its the first button
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spikedupclay:
When I do that it quickly reboots, and goes directly back to the same screen with the options:

bootloader

reboot

reboot bootloader

and power down
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
OK you need to flash recovery, do you have the adb tools package?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spikedupclay:

I don't know anything about photo editing, but wondered if it was possible to resize a photo that is wider than its length, to longer than its width. For example: Turn a 800 x 480 img into a 480 x 800 img. Phones are taller than they are wider today. I don't know why they don't make wallpaper that will fill the entire screen instead of just the middle section of the phone from left to right.

The fact someone claims to have done something doesn't mean it is actually true, people troll a lot this days, and when someone says "Google this, that" they aren't giving an answer either, and helping is in fact the spirit of this forum, not trolling or pointing other people mistakes in a rude manner.

And btw, I know my ways around image editing software so I might help you out, but you will probably get some sort of stretched areas on your image.

I think you need to better describe what you want the end result to be.

I can turn a 800x480 image into a 480x800 image in the gallery by rotating it.

If you want an exported jpg file, that is different than taking an image and cropping it for a wallpaper. The app referenced will take an image, crop it and apply it as a wallpaper. Just long press the photo in the app and choose set. Crop portrait with no scrolling chosen at the top will let you choose the area to crop, and apply the wallpaper full screen. But, that app will not export the edited image. When using the gallery to set a wallpaper you will get different results. Starting with a 800x480 image and cropping out the middle and scaling that up to 480x800 will give you a really low quality photo.

And finally this is not the place to make anyone (especially forum mods) prove to you what they say is right. The burden is on you to show what you tried, and show where it is falling short. So, try the app, and post a screenshot of how it didn't work.

My original post wasn't to try and prove points. It was a yes or no question. He answered cocky, so I asked him to show me. I hoped he proved me wrong so I could know how to do it.

Thx. That's kind of what I thought. I just wondered if there were any tricks to eliminate that stretched look as much as possible.

I don't want to crop it. I want the entire picture to properly fit on the screen without as much stretch as possible. It doesn't have to be the exact reverse dimensions of the original photo. For example, turning a 800 x 480 photo into a 600 x 800. That's what I'm talking about. Obviously, most wallpapers are built for desktops. And desktop dimensions are always wider than taller (1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200). What I initially asked is what is the best method, or is it even possible, to get a decent quality pic without cropping by taking an original pic like in the dimensions described above and make it slightly taller than wider. The GS2 is 480 x 800, but any wallpaper you find on Zedge or Wallbase will be 800 x 480, or 1600 x 1200 etc. always wider than taller. I wouldn't be asking these questions if there were an abundance of wallpapers out there with taller than wider dimensions.

Who said anything about making forum mods prove what is right? He said I didn't know what I was doing. I challenged him to show me after the fact. Isn't that how it works in the real world? That's like accusing someone of something they did wrong and instead of bring evidence to back up your accusation, you sit back and wait for the accused to come forward first with evidence to prove their innocence. lol. Why would I post pics of how it didn't work first, and how would anybody know what I was doing wrong? Sounds easier to me if you know how to do something, post how its done. Or if you don't want to contribute, then don't. Otherwise, don't act like a know-it-all but not follow through. And I don't know why everybody's gettin all butt sore when it doesn't involve you (other than the obvious fact he's a moderator and I'm a "noob" ,which I assume, like most forums, are not worthy of respectful replies. Everybody was a "noob" at some point.)

But Thanks for everyone who DID provide some useful knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
If you don't want stretching you have to crop the photo. That app will stretch full screen, or crop and scale to full screen. If you want a blend of the two, to stretch a little and crop a little you probably need to use a computer instead of an app on the phone.

I still don't understand your goal, if that app doesn't do it. It does exactly what you described. It will let you take a picture that is wider than tall and select the area you want as a wallpaper, crop the picture and apply the wallpaper.

This isn't the criminal justice system. It also isn't the XDA help desk. This site was built by and for developers. No one here is paid for their time to spoonfeed people with a sense of entitlement. No one here is entitled to anything. Noobs get what they give. Mostly they don't give respect, so they don't get it back. Yes, everyone was once a noob. Generally the noobs that don't give respect leave because the forum is too scary and mean. The noobs that give respect stay and become l33t members on the board. (Unscientific anecdotal observation) These members grow tired of the sense of entitlement that makes its way to this board. That sense of entitlement is destroying this board slowly, driving the devs away.

You are asking for help, and have been told what you want to do is possible with Wallpaper Wizardrii by several people on here. So, we either don't understand what you are saying, or we are all involved in a conspiracy to misinform noobs. While the latter sounds like a great book, I think its most likely the former. So, help us help you. Show us what you tried, and maybe looking at what you show will help us understand what you really want to do.

Thanks for the lecture, dad, but clearly, I stated several times that I was looking for a way to resize a pic without cropping or sacrificing quality. So apparently you/they aren't paying attention, or are really here to misinform noobs. While the latter sounds like a great book, it's probably the former.

P.S. I really hope you're not a developer, and just a brown-noser.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I'm just an appreciative member.

If you want to resize a photo without cropping or losing quality what you want is a real Wizard or a time machine. There are no apps that can zoom the picture out to get parts aren't there to give you different proportions without cropping or stretching the photo.

EDIT: You ARE a ninja, you slipped in there while I was adding the addendum to my lecture.

http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php/1590-Wallpapers-100-HD-Wallpapers-My-private-collection

Those are high enough quality to be cropped down to a taller proportion and still look great on the 720p screen on the One X.

I grew up with two English parents so wit and dry humor are ingrained in me. I'll try to stick around, I apparantly over stayed my welcome in the Thrill forum after I got the i777. The One X forums also don't seem to appreciate dry humor fused into assistance either. I miss task's thread ...

Never been to a convention myself, and I do doubt I'm old enough to be your father. But, if you're ever in Utah I do enjoy Apple juice.

I seriously was trying to help. But, it's hard to provide assistance when you don't know what the end product is supposed to be, or where the issues are.

I have worked in call centers for an evil Credit Card company and an evil Bank (as an American I believe I am legally obligated to say all financial institutions are the root of all evil), both massive companies that really do care about the service customers receive. In Retention, Customer Service, and Online Fraud you deal with people at their most stressed and belligerent. You have to pick up a thick skin, and be able to laugh it off. Its just funny to me after all these years, it takes much more than name calling, mimicry, and sarcasm (just one of my many talants too) to get under my skin.
