Ordered online on the 1. TMobile. It says backordered till 8th. Did for mine too but they shipped the next day. Not sure if I just got lucky. I know a couple of my friends have it too now.

Has anybody had a better experience with battery life using sultan kernel over stock?

I'm getting absolutely horrendous battery life with the stock setup on 3/5, can literally sit here and watch the percents drop!
[HTC Sensation] starbuck79:
Unlucky my daughter drop my phone and the touch doesn't work for now. I'm waiting for new screen and touch, for testing the new update.
[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
Mine is complete stock 3rd may build.

Wait for some cycles. It should get better. Except if your battery is old or damaged.

I'm using anker 1900mah 5 months old.

I can confirm downloading apks from the web do not work on this rom
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
confirm? I wasn't aware it was a problem. apk files download and install just fine. (do you mean they dont download or you cant sideload apks?)
[HTC Sensation] aliamin86:
No I download apks but the when I try to open it it says can not open file
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Not the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] rdmay20:
My only issues are that the phone doesnt keep charging I would plug my phone in at night wake up to 70% then i would clear any notifications and itll start charging again.

and my life depends on which battery I use.

Lastly notification Leds are either orange or green always random.

but still love this ROM thank you very much for the hard work!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Notification LED: orange for missed calls, green for notifications, and alternating between green and orange or orange blinking (depends on the kind of notification) when the phone is charging.
[HTC Sensation] aliamin86:
I'm on another rom and its working fine
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It might be the ROM but I haven't tested it much on other ROMs. For me, when I download basically any kind of file through the browser (today I was successful with .txt files), the downloaded file is 0B (corrupted).
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Which browser and was it over mobile data or WiFi?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Happens on both WiFi and mobile data and it happened even when I tried to download the file through Script Manager (I originally tested it on the stock browser).
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I've downloaded multiple files using Opera Browser and it works just fine. Maybe the stock browser has a bug, but that's not a ROM bug.

To the guy who can't install downloaded APK's, did you check the box to allowed the instalation of 3rd party apps? If not it will only let you isntalled apps from the Play Store.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Anybody?

When i freeze user dictionary, contact storage started hogging mem.
[HTC Sensation] Rhian:
I don't think you should really care about how much memory x, y, or z uses, unless you are running out of memory. I'm using the very same ROM on one phone, see my dictionary service occasionally go up to nearly 60Mb, but down as well to around 20Mb. It's how things work. The temporary "it goes way faster when I kill x, y or z" is just that: temporary, until another app, service or what-have-you takes over the 'available' memory, until another app, service, whatever-else needs it.

Remember Android != (not equals) Windows in how it handles memory. For an interesting read on the subject: RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care

I suggest reading up on Android's memory usage, then look into other settings that might give you lag. (Wrong scheduler, wrong governor, etc.). Using the ROM without tweaking anything gives me no lag at all.
[HTC Sensation] Yannick1988:
Hello,

Does anybody have problem with MMS?

when I try to send a picture the SMS /MMS app is crashing.

Thx
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Thanks very much for your reply. I didn't say i have lag. OK m on the other side in the process of making multitasking better. Sometimes i don't agree with all these theories. As I have experienced, without killing any app running by system or user app(moderated app list ofcourse, most social app stays in memory most of the times), if we have around 200 mb free then the rom gives 200 mb worth multitasking performance, as in 4 heavy apps running at the same time. Samsung s2 performs that at any given time. However.. When i have 150 mb around, i get 3 apps.

I would never get lag on this rom, unless i **** it up. But im after BETTER PERFORMANCE IN TERMS OF MULTITASKING.

ANY OF YOU USE UBERSYNC? CAN YOU PLEASE CHECK WITH STP IF YOUR CONTACT STORAGE OR USER DICTIONARY EATING RAM?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
For better multitasking performance, you can use my modded services.jar (attached), I changed memory/app priorities according to the SuperCharger script.

Newbie Question

Hi Really sorry for newbie question b ut did a search and couldnt find the answer

i am currently using a Viper rom but want to try CM10.1 aosp 4.2.2 rom however it says i need the latest firmware, i didnt s-off my device as i couldnt but found a work round using 4xt

can i just load this last firmware then the rom or do i need to do more

Im on Pyramid PVT Ship S-on RL

Hboot 1.29.0000

it says unlocked at the top

once again really sorry for newbie question :confused:
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
This is realy nice ROM, but the only thing that keeps me away from everyday use is weak wifi reception (like every other JB rom). Maybe I'll keep it when HTC release kernel source.

And that will be....hm....never? Shame on you HTC! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
The wifi isn't weak, it's just the symbol shows it as weaker. If you change it to the display the signal strength instead, you'll see it's still the same.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Excuse me? No it is not.

If this THIS ROM is providing bad battery life, it is an issue and clearly the best place to mention it would be THIS ROMs thread.

Stop trying to be a mod.
[HTC Sensation] df186:
Hey.. I also have a Samsung SII Skyrocket in addition to my Sensation.. and i just updated it to the lastest CM and the same thing was happening all week last week.. I wiped it and reformated and reinstalled two times.. and it was still doing it.. the last time i factory wiped it too.. and its a little better now.. but it still freezes and then reboots.. but i have to pull the battery out to get it to boot up..

anyways.. thought you should know so you dont kill yourself trying to figure it out..
[HTC Sensation] Firetribe:
Excuse ME, sir, bad battery behaviour was discussed several times, albinoman even wrote a quite long post about it, and it's NOT a development topic, ergo it shouldn't be in a dev Thread. That's why a certain Q&A-Thread was mentioned. Calm down, and read the thread or just think about advice you get before complaining. There is a Q&A, you will get answers there.

FYI, I'm getting about three and a half hour screen on time with Anker on the latest build, so it's probably no ROM issue...

[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Actually this rom doesnt have the batt probkem. Otherwise there would be atleast 1000 users reporting.

Aside, can you flash fresh with no restore and run fir two days atleast? Dont reboot your device in the middst and try to full charge in a row. Report back with screens please.
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
It is weak and I don't care for display strenght! I lose wifi signal when I'm in apartment, 7m away in the hallway but with NyperNonSense (or Elegancia) I have good/very good signal. Also at work I have good signal with Sense based ROM's at my workshop but with this (or any other JB ROM) I'm not in range.

So it's

not the same

. It's kernel based deficiency. I don't blame this or any other JB ROM, or CM10. I blame HTC and I think that Sensation is my third and last HTC.

If you don't believe me, flash HNS (with SebastianFM's kernel) and try reception. Just for fun.;)
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
That's why so many people are leaving HTC. Anyway, did you try a clean install? Even my battery life is better after my last clean install
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
This ROM does not provide bad battery life. This ROM has been proven to provide fantastic bitterly life. Perhaps your use patterns and settings are hampering the bitterly life. But its not a rom issue so battery life and performance questions do not belong in this thread. Period.

They result in endless discussions that always result in the answer being that the user needs to make changes to improve battery life. The ROM is fine.

The developer has asked REPEATEDLY for people not to discuss battery life in this thread because it makes it impossible for him to find posts about actual bugs. There is a question and answer thread linked in my signature where we will be happy to discuss battery life with you until the cows come home. There are all kinds of suggestions and tips and tricks. But not in this thread.

Please respect Albino's repeated requests about this.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Fairly confident it won't work on my s4, sorry. :-p

Besides, hyper non sense is based on sense iirc, hence why it shows it as stronger on the symbol like I said. Set it to display the strength rather than the symbol for a short while, and then flash the other rom and get that to display the strength instead. Then compare it.
[HTC Sensation] aliamin86:
Yes I did I enabled unknown sources
[HTC Sensation] Rhian:
Perhaps you should try WiFix? That is included in Elegancia, I don't know about others. I'm quite sure you'll get a better signal.
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
Look, I don't care for symbol. It is just a symbol. Same hardware, same place, same conditions, different rom, different reception. I can't connect to wifi and I don't look at symbol. I want connection.

I'm not some noobie. I have a lot expirience to see the difference between JB CM10.1 and Sense based ICS. Flesh them all! I even try with cleaning antena contacts.

But I allways flash back to HNS. After this post I'll do it again. :D
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Yes, in that case thanks for the very contributing post... not.

Next time, please use the FAQ thread in the Q&A forums for such discussions, as you are obviously the only one with this problem (which leads directly to a user caused error). Besides that, you don't need to tell anybody in here which ROM you are going to flash next, as it's just rude to the dev and useless to everybody else. kthxbye
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Country code has absolutely nothing to do with signal strength. This will not do anything.
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
Look, I explain what is my problem and why I allways flash back to "XYZ" sense ROM. I try

all

JB CM10 ROM's with

same

result. I even write (possible) reason for my problem and

not only mine

cause I know two more people with same weak reception of wifi.

And I'm not rude to enyone. Especially to developers. I have deeply respect to them.

"User caused error"? Are you kidding? Read my last posts once again but I'll repeat:

1. same sensation with newest radio (same was with older too)

2. same position and measuring app (but I realy don't care for measuring - results is what I want)

3. same routers at home and work

4. four JB CM 10 ROM's vs. three Sense based ROM's (with three kernel, but one is SebastianFM's overclocked and two are based on Sebastians kernel)

6. Sense ROM wins in every situation

7. flashed almost every update of this albinomans fantastic ROM (of course clean flash on cleared and partitioned device for every single ROM I flashed)

8. and I'm

not

the only one. Some people are just ordinary users who don't flash few times a week.

9. and finnaly, I blame HTC and their "support"

I allways go back to "xyz" ROM but also flash every new update of albinomans ROM cause it's the best (IMHO).

Cheers. :)

One bug I noticed voice search force closes
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Oops, didn't mean to thank you for this!

Looks like you are using Google Now.

Or maybe in a very poor reception area. Maybe far from your WiFi router, too?

In any case, 27 minutes is not really "massive" is it?

See if this continues.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Okay man. Then this ROM isn't for you if the WiFi signal is an issue. You said yourself you tested all the cm10 ROMs and got the same results. And that all the sense ROMs have better results. Great! Problem solved. Sense is better for you.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
it's you. :)

Seriously...repeatedly? All the time? Can you get a logcat of it happening? Because others are not reporting this.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well its 22 minutes of wake lock in 10 hours and 28 minutes of up time.

That's hardly a massive wake lock. But if that is a problem for you turn off the location provided in settings. That's the thing that tells Google where you are.
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
Yeah, I noticed that. And I'm not nagging about that. You missed the point. Maybe you guys don't notice that problem because of good signal coverage. I have two location on my work with weaker signal coverage (far away from antenna and sick architecture of building) and JB CM10 ROM's don't catch signal very well.

And for you is ok to tell me that problem is solved if I stick with Sense based ROM? Why? I do not need or deserve JB ROM? Now, you see, that's rude. Instead of this behavior ask yourself how can we all help albinoman to make even better ROM. If nothing else, I at least give you an insight into the specific problem.

notification bar

my notification bar disappeared today any idea i tried cleaning davlik and cache and re installing on top of it but the notification bar is still missing... also i was just wondering if this is just me but when switch the processor to badass i get glitches over my screen...

[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
When you start giving Albino something to work with to improve wifi like code suggestions or ideas about what the difference between sense and aosp jb are, then maybe we can have a talk about helping him improve it.

But all you have offered is an anecdote about how wifi wont connect at 2 weak signal spots in your office. How is that supposed to help? What can we possibly do with that information?

Its not like albino can just magically make the wifi more sensitive but changing a value in the build.prop. The wifi drivers are built into the kernel, which for the sensation is somewhat patchworked as no official jb kernel has been released to build off of.

Do you get the wifi drop out in your weak spots (and keep in mind those wifi weakspots are your weakspots, not the rom's weakspots.) when trying aosp ics roms? Those have a more stock like kernel and might offer better wifi signal.

But wifi signal strength overall isnt a glaring problem on this rom. Its just not. If you have a way to make it stronger, hey great! Share it! But dont expect developers to do all the research to try and blindly improve your ability to get a wifi signal in some random corner of your office that none of us will ever go to.

If having wifi in that corner is super important to you, use sense. Or do the research yourself on how to improve wifi in aosp and share it with albino. Do not just tell us that its anecdotally weaker for only you in one little spot and expect albino to rush right into fixing it.
[HTC Sensation] spogz876:
i must have accidentally checked that thank you very much
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
Disable location in google maps (Maps > Settings > Location settings > Location Reporting). Or better yet, install greenify, and add maps to it.

[HTC Sensation] FA4DK:
Yeah, go to Settings and then at the bottom, Performance.

[MENTION=4424069]skipjak[/MENTION]s

Look man, I'm not the developer and I don't have solution for that problem. And what do you think? That I'm some freak who sniffing for a weaknes? It's not whining about some weak spot. I talk about whole area with weak signal coverage. In that area Sense based ROMs have better reception of weak signal. Signal from wifi antenna decrease with distance and that's what I talking about. With Sense based ROMs this distance is greater. I repeat, my opinion is that problem is in kernel or some driver because HTC never release JB based kernel. I think that will help our developers to make even better ROMs.

When someone tell me that my device from production does not work properly I try to simulate problematic conditions and try to understand what is going on and fix if I can.

Well, I think that's all I can say. Now I'll stop this discusion. I rest my case, but I'd like to here what Albinoman think about that. If he have the time.

Bye.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Like I've repeatedly said, change from the symbol to the actual signal strength reading. Make a note of it in that area on both roms, and then if it really is that different, share it on here.
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
Isn't there an app that will show the WiFi signal dB? Maybe then we can put this constant debate to rest

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.wificls

I get -56dB 4m away from ****ty 3G router, for reference :p
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I was under the impression that in the rom itself you can choose to see the reading instead of the symbol, but I suppose I've tried a lot of them over the past few years so in fairness I could be thinking of the wrong one. Can't check as I don't have my sensation any more.
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
From my poking around only cellular signal can be displayed as text which shows the dB.
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
The thing is, none of the other users are reporting this issue. Just for kicks I flashed revolution, official CM10 and albino's latest build. When measured in dB I got readings within 0.19dB, near enough to not make a difference. The most sensitive rom was CM10 (official). But not by much. Maybe try Bruce or official CM10? It'll get you JB.

PS. BTW, I didn't go hard out to disprove you or anything. I was trying to pin down an issue my phone has with bluetooth, (another story), decided that while I'm jumping between ROMs, I'd do a test for you. My router let's me dial in the signal strength so I can simulate poor signal conditions. Of course, these results only really apply to my phone, take them with a grain of salt.

Best of luck, sounds like you've got an idiosyncratic phone.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Sorry to quote but I thought just in case it was related...not sure so no flames! ;)

I noticed that my phone now shows "Searching for GPS" in the notifications. Never did that before. It's constantly there, including being stuck on my status bar. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it related to what others are reporting in terms of the location wakelock?

Not a huge battery drain or anything like that, but the GPS never got stuck on before like this so I was just wondering...

EDIT : Forgot to mention that it just kicks on and stays stuck on it's own. I'm not using anything that would make the notification look for GPS. I used to only get this when I opened something up that needed GPS (like Waze). Now it comes on on it's own and gets stuck! Oh and even if I turn off GPS in settings, the notification is still there! Yikes! Anyone else? Bug? My own dumbassness? Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] earlgrey_44:
I've been seeing a flashing icon for gps search since the rebase of the rom in April. It's related to my transparent clock widget. The widget dev says it's not supposed to happen, but...

I can see no noticeable impact on battery. Looks like just an annoyance.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks for the report earlgrey! I've actually never seen it until the most recent release...but maybe I just wasn't paying attention...;)

I'm using the cLock that's included in the ROM. Are you using something different? If so, probably different problem?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
cLock is probably just checking your location so it gives you the weather for where you are instead of China or something :)
[HTC Sensation] nocturnoz:
... yeah, still would be nice.

Maybe albinoman could take a look at it now, cause all major-bugs are wiped out. :D
[HTC Sensation] Greg1964:
I'm trying to find development in the setting.I went to setting,apps then I can't find development. Someone please help me out here. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
True 'droid 1-7, but I'd like to find out if others are having the perpetual GPS searching icon as well as notifications I'm having. It doesn't go away! I could be wrong, but it's the first time I've ever noticed it since I started using this ROM. I wonder if something changed?
[HTC Sensation] Coco@CCS:
Your solution is at OP, read carefully.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
If you're talking about Developer Options, you need to go into settings ->About phone->Then keep tapping Build Number about 7 or so times until it tells you you've unlocked it. Go back to settings and it should appear between Accessibility and # Superuser.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
When in despair, make a nandroid and do a full wipe :). I have cLock on my lockscreen and I don't have the GPS icon in my status bar.
[HTC Sensation] Greg1964:
I'm trying to figure out if debugging is enabled that why I'm trying to find development.
