I played A LOT of Real Racing 3 and got new cars, switched to them, etc.; I think the GPU issue is fixed.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
That's actually strange... Can anyone confirm one of us?

Because I played flawlessly on Inspiration ICS ROM, but when tried on yours, same old, same old... :(

[HTC Sensation] MSTRoyal:
Hey im running r44 and noticed something strange...

Today i checked my battery stats with betterbatterystats, because i had the feeling of a battery drain and it showed me that my cpu was running @1,94Ghz for a couple of minutes

Never set it so high! Actually i set it to 1,67 htc ones asia default not shure if it's a missreading by bbs or something went wrong with kernel settings....

Is it even possible to overclock our cpu that much?
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
In R44 there are some thermald issues that Android1-7 is trying to sort out. Here is a comment on the matter.
[HTC Sensation] MSTRoyal:
Ok thx for ya reply, will go back to r42 for now, that one feelt like the one with the fewest problems for me so far...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Though instead of a cheap workaround I'm going to make a real fix. Another problem with show-p's thermald is that it restores the same frequency to both cores, so if you chose a different max frequency for each CPU core then both cores would have the same max freq after thermald finished throttling the CPU.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
R44.5 uploaded :) I went through the thermald code and fixed a lot of bugs, so now thermald should be working perfectly. I listed many of the thermald fixes in the changelog but if you want to see the whole list then you can look at the commit history in my kernel's repo in drivers/thermal

Also, Goo.im isn't letting me upload right now, so r44.5 is only available through the mirror (d-h.st).
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
I'd proudly like to state that apparently the freeze in RR3 has gone to the dogs. :)

Right on, great job! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
I'll wait until you upload r44.5 to goo.im as dev host link doesn't work on my device :(
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I can't upload to Goo.im because Goo.im is upgrading. Read the message on the homepage: http://goo.im/

I'm now using Tapatalk.

By the way, [MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] can I somehow change my softkeys' hold duration? For example if I wanted to kill an app after holding the back button for like 1.5 sec?

[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
Thanks for the drop box link. And for the XDA app, it's time to install xda premium or Tapatalk.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
That would be a ROM setting but I don't think any version of CyanogenMod lets you select the hold duration.

ARGH I hate it when the XDA app does that! Just installed Tapatalk and so far it seems a lot more polished than the XDA app. Just have to get used to the feel of it and the fact that the whole app doesn't randomly close when I press the back button :p

weird batt drain on standby on r44.5. i still think r41 is the most stable
[HTC Sensation] a9999:
here it is

I'm not sure that helps as I think I set LogCat to YES

let me know
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
The significance of this statement is about zero. There is no proove or whatsoever. What about partial wakelocks? Have you made observations in better battery stats? What is the screen on time? What is the awake time? What about the used cpu freqs? And so on...

Besides that, I can't confirm it and haven't made observations like yours.
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
Damn i flashed the newest KANG ROM (28 oct) and the newest kernel and back is the flashing problem :(. When i use the flash on my camera the phone is rebooting again...even though i have +30% battery, 36% to be precisely. Hope you can fix that easily.

thanks

[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Well I tested it and it apparently brings the famous RR3 freeze back... [MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] would you mind investigating?

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I have done LOTS of RR3 gaming; when the GPU bug still existed, dmesg reported lack of memory to kgsl and the bug would occur during the first or second race. I have done several races in a row without issue. Remember that RR3 consumes a lot of memory; what are your minfree values set to?
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
I played with the last kernel r44.5 and medium minfree without getting the freeze, but with the new gpu drivers and the same minfree, I got frozen hard before entering a race, as I couldn't even kill the app, so I pulled battery.

Sent from whatever isn't something to be locked at, the thing is that it is sent.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
RR3 needs slightly stricter minfree values because the LMK needs to kill a lot of apps to make space for RR3. If you are using my CM10.2 ROM then choose the minfree option that says Let the ROM manage itself
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
Are you saying that the freezes in RR3 came back after you flashed that supposed fix or were they already there without it? If they were caused by that flash it has nothing to do with the kernel...
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
It was okay before; and it surely has something with the kernel; as I flashed the kernel again and played RR3.

[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Real racing 3 runs fine for me, with minfree medium, no lags or anything. The map fix maybe even flashes some stuff, which won't be reverted due to kernel reflash.

I was try your kernel from version 42 till 44 why when i play games real racing 3 my phone getting freeze. Maybe not in every event in the game my phone getting freeze but some event in the game like ferari event my phone freeze i things the problem become from gpu coz anothers game hd like call of duty going smooth. Can u fix that or u have a solution about the gpu setting

Thanks a lot, your big fans rom
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
It seems my frequencies just sticking up at the max. I got 1134mhz on both cpu and It seems when i look into the cpu spy almost all the time my frequencies capped at 1134.

So basically If i wake the phone it will always be 1134mhz no matter what i do. What's wrong here?

When i try to change the governor then it will scale the frequencies for a while after the screen off. If the screen off and i turn it on again the frequencies will be back to the max again.

See how it goes.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Are you undervolting? Also, what ROM are you using?
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
It is still not scaling android1-7, all i do is just wake the phone and keep it awake with tapping the screen a few seconds without opening anything and it is still sticking to the max. It never touches other frequencies except for deep sleep. That's all
[HTC Sensation] damagedbits:
Mine too. Plus, I set the maxfreq to 1.5Ghz and at times it'll scale up to 1.6Ghz. Unfortunately I have logcat disabled so I guess I can't provide anything useful; just saying. Lol
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It's working fine for me (all my other frequencies are being used)... If you're using a governor like Lagfree then it is normal for the CPU to be at max freq most of the time. Which governor are you using?
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
Using the smartassv2 and if i just change it, it will scale around. Just until the screen off. Then it won't scale again unless i re change the governor again
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
These are Watchdog barks, not random reboots. Watchdog detected that something hung the kernel and instead of leaving your phone frozen, Watchdog rebooted it.

[48710.450012] arch_reset: restart command `Apps-watchdog-bark-received!'.

These kinds of reboots can be caused by a number of userspace factors. Which ROM are you two using?

Ianoob, the stacktrace in your last_kmsg says that the kernel was commanded to reboot while trying to access your SD card.

Reddvilzz, seems that your reboot was caused by WiFi.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Use Ondemand. SmartassV2 is very aggressive.
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
I use the carbon rom 25/10, any chance this will happened again in the future? Is there any thing i can do to fix it?

Oh okay i'll try ondemand and see how it goes. Are the smartassv2 and ondemand have the same battery efficiency? I feel like using ondemand drains a bit faster.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It could be a problem with Carbon ROM itself or it could be because my kernel isn't used for building the ROM. The only ROM that's built around my kernel is my CM10.2 ROM; you can try that, or you can ask your ROM's maintainer to try using my kernel (again, I'm not sure if the problem is being caused by the ROM itself or the fact that the ROM isn't built around my kernel). I only use my ROM and I don't have these Watchdog reboots, so I'm not sure of exactly what's causing them for you.

Ondemand is probably going to drain your battery much less than SmartassV2...
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
I'll keep watch again and i will try and see the ondemand governor. If the reboots happened again i'll let the rom dev and you know about the condition.

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Your ROM, 10/18 version. I think I was trying to open Facebook when it crashed.

FYI, I found my battery drain. When the screen shuts off, both cores lock at a fairly high frequency. See the plateau in the screenshot.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Hmm actually it's probably happening because the ROM isn't built around my kernel. The default kernel in Carbon has a very old WiFi driver; the WiFi driver in my kernel is 1 year newer and I got it from Google's 3.0 kernel source.
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
So there are literally no way to fix it in the carbon rom itself?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
What was your phone doing while the screen was off? I played music on my phone while the screen was off, fired up ADB shell, and saw that both cores were at 384MHz.

As for adding back 192MHz, I'll consider it.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Absolutely nothing as evidenced by the valleys in either side.

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I don't think so. Nobody in my ROM's thread has posted a last_kmsg with this issue (and I don't have it either) so I'm guessing it's a ROM issue.
[HTC Sensation] damagedbits:
I'm using ondemand set to 1566mhz max. I'm on albinomans cm10.2 ROM but I would think its close enough to yours to avoid any problem like that. My battery life isn't any worse than before, if that counts, but I just think its kind of strange that ondemand is acting like performance gov with r44.5.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Random reboot.

Yesterday I experienced a couple random reboots on r44. I'm 99% sure that it was caused by my battery, and I've attached a battery screenshot to show why I think so, but just to be sure I attached the last_kmsg as a zip.

Also, the screenshot and kmsg were from directly after the first reboot, not the others.
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
Okay i'll see if the reboot still persist or happen frequently. It is not a big of a deal if it happens not so often
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It isn't the battery. A battery issue would cause your phone to shutdown without rebooting. Also, please upgrade to r44.5. Which ROM are you using?
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Okay thanks, will do. I'm using the 10/25 build of Carbon.

And I have to say, aside from these reboots, this has been the best setup I've ever had on my phone!

BTW, where did you start learning how to build android? I want to, but don't know where to start. Also, I have windows 8, is Linux necessary?
[HTC Sensation] ukiya16:
i am merely stating my observation. chill. :D
[HTC Sensation] kukuthejak:
i havent faced any random reboots but i have faced FC after 15 mins of playing Dead trigger 2..and i guess this is due to low RAM, as only 30 mb of RAM was available when the game FC on me. Everthing else works fine.
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
Someone help me out here? Its very annoying that after taking a picture the phone reboots :(
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
Old battery perhaps?
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
The battery is a bit old but still works great. I'm able to do more then a day with it
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
Old batteries are usually the problem with flash reboots. You can try cleaning the pins on the battery and body.

My previous battery (1.5 years old) lasted a bit less than a day, never had reboots with it but it started swelling. Glad I replaced it.
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Before the Sensation is replaced by your N5, could you please consider to add 192MHz back in again android1234567?

44.5 is running very solid, but I'm convinced 192MHz were not the reason for some reboots I've had.

I just dislike that my phone is wasting some battery with twice the CPU clock while doing absolutely nothing when idle. :confused:

No need to make it the default setting, maybe even make people have to unlock it in Aroma before seeing it in any tweaking apps, but any way to use it would be appreciated. Thanks. :)
[HTC Sensation] Bomberlt:
I have the same problem. Sometimes when I take a picture with flash phone reboots.. Using Anker® 1900mAh battery, bought ~year ago. Maybe pins are not in good condition after replacing battery to original few times a week in a bad weather xD

Any suggestions how to clean battery connection pins?
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:

If you're careful, you can use a pencil eraser. Works wonders, but I'm not responsible if you bend/break your connectors.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
I've had 2 random reboots where it got stuck in a boot loop. Needed to pull the battery to get it to start. And terminal emulator says there's no last_kmsg to put on the SD.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Correct, a battery pull will not produce a last_kmsg
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
Almost every day my phone completely hangs at least once. Only thing i can do is pull out the battery and then boot it again. It's happen during all kind of task. A few moment ago it was when i tried to call someone, yesterday when i was checking my mail in the outlook app, sometimes with my meditating app, etc.

Is this a know bug?
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Same here, sometimes mine got hangs when I do basic function like when scrolling, opening apps, also when I urgently want to use camera but it hang this kinda freaking me out. I'm using default kernel without mods.
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
Yeah this still happens in latest version, just tested yesterday and it froze for like 30s and then "came back to life".

Went back to 31.5 version, this one is pretty stable, had over a week of uptime until I needed to reboot the phone to test something :)
[HTC Sensation] tibbyke:
Yes, I also face this problem!
[HTC Sensation] dingers01:
+1
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
And when will this problem be solved? Any idea? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] dingers01:
Not sure to whom you are addressing your question, but in my opinion it will be whenever the developer finds the time, information and inclination..

I am the first to admit that while my +1 adds weight to the issue, it does nothing to actually help find the cause.

If the dev needs any information (log files etc.) he now has one more person to ask.

I can add a little more info which may be helpful though: I have only encountered these freezes shortly after waking the phone up to do something (say within the first minute). Yesterday I used the phone for hours and kept it continuously awake (developing a program in tasker) and it didn't do it once.

Finally, it seems that compared to my previous ROM (the last Sensation XE CM10 nightly, no mods) that bluetooth volume is quite low. If this is a known issue or even better if there is a known fix I'd be grateful to anyone who could point it out.

Cheers..

That's not correct. He released a new CM10.2 ROM with PMEM as well (11/17/2013), which comes with r45 kernel (ION obv not enabled).
