[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Again true, but I'm not necessarily blaming cLock. Just something earlgrey pointed out for his phone but I'm not even sure he uses cLock. He just mentioned "transparent clock".

So I'm not really sure why the GPS icon comes on on it's own...and stays there...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If that gps problem isnt being caused by the clock its being caused by another app. The rom isnt turning gps on,an app is. Try freezing the clock using system tuner of titanium and see if that fixes it. If it does, at least its isolated. If it doesn't try freezing every app you have updated recently. Worst case freeze all user apps and turn them on one by one until you find the naughty one. Its a pain to do that, but its an app. It might even be an app that was mistakenly given location permissions by its developer, one you wouldnt thi k would have anything to do with gps.
[HTC Sensation] earlgrey_44:
I'm using the Droid 27 Transparent Weather Clock - see the market if interested. If the GPS option is off in the widget, it shouldn't be flashing the GPS icon though, should it? If I remove the widget, the GPS flashing icon stops. This started happening a couple of weeks ago. I forget exactly when. The widget behaved fine prior to that.

Not necessarily the same as 69gm's problem, since I understand his icon is there all the time - not random flashes.

The widget dev said the rom dev broke his widget - ;) :D
[HTC Sensation] spogz876:
does that provide a longer battery life?
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks Skipjacks, that's definitely an idea! But would that account for the icon still being there even after turning off GPS completely? Or does the icon come on when an app tries using it even if GPS is off...hmm, saying that out loud makes me think it's the latter...:o

Great idea though! Thanks!!!

You have enough information here as well as in the OP. Yes?
[HTC Sensation] Ebojager:
Wow great ROM, Ive been trying abunch of other 4.2.2 ROMs and I think yours is the only one that plays back mp4 video with no artifacts! :)

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] jndrfq:
The best *touch wood*

I officially declare May 2nd build as the best ever ROM, LPA will obviously make it perfect !! I was very close to buying the HTC One but this ROM has confused me again :)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If the icon comes up when you have physically turned GPS off (not just the app using GPS off) then no, that's deffinately wierd. Something is borked up.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Yikes, good to know...I guess...LOL!

So, nandroid, dirty flash again and if still having problem, full wipe with clean install?

On a side note, I actually haven't seen it since I wrote about it! It was happening all day yesterday (AFAIK) and this morning. Now that I finally got a chance to report it, it's not happening! LOL! I think my phone is afraid of you guys! LOL!!!

I'll continue to monitor and see if it happens again...thanks for all the reply though!!! :good:

[MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION]: can i request a feature please? can there be an option to disable quicksettings and replace the quicksettings icon on notification pulldown with settings icon as it used to be in earlier versions of android??
[HTC Sensation] BlackDex:
You van disable this via the settings > system > quick settings panel.
[HTC Sensation] 84Guzz:
I get this as well. Even removed battery cover.

Only way to get rid of it is to reboot.

I'll try to get a logcat next time
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
A few clarifications, please (N00B here ...)

Hi there. I would like to try this ROM on my Sensation, but I have a few questions, just to be sure.

I live in Europe so my phone has nothing to do with T-Mobile (which I see referenced often both in this thread and in the thread for the 3.33 firmware).

My phone has stock rom (ICS+Sense 3.6) and 1.27 firmware. It is rooted+S-OFF already.

Questions:

1) If I install firmware 3.33 (required for this rom), would I be able to go back to stock, or to try other roms (I'm thinking of Elegance rom, as a backup plan, if this rom doesn't fit my needs, for whatever reason)?

2) Full wipe refers to: wipe user data/factory reset; wipe battery stats and Dalvik cache; format everything except SD card. (I prefer doing this by hand that with some wipe script: I suppose that's OK).

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] anderl78:
Seen the same... I got GPSlocationProvider wakelocks too. Tested with cpu spy, the phone didn't go to deep sleep in this time. As expected I got bad battery life...

At first I thought about a dirty flash issue, but after a clean flash the problem was still there.

From my testing I guess it comes up after using a GPS app (in my case Google car home, car home control and google navigation) in combination with my HTC car dock.

Perhaps its a problem with this apps, but a problem in locationprovider is perhaps possible too.

Could be the reason for the battery posts in the last few days?

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

For me too...
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
1) yes. 2)yes.

Re t-mobile, it's referenced because some users have problems with it. The ROM is carrier agnostic.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
"Massive" was the wrong term to use, you're right. I was just wondering. On the other side, something really is odd, if you check another bbs screen from approximately three hours after the first one:

As you can see, the device is awake way more then the screen is on. I completely believe, that for 99% it's some kind of misconfiguration, but there is still this tiny one percent, you know ;)

Google now is disabled btw. WiFi was on all the time, good reception.

I'll give greenify a try, looks and sounds very good, for other apps as well, not just maps.

And if you don't like JB for whatever reason, I can definitely say Elegancia is a great choice. My favorite ICS Sense ROM, just like this is my favorite JB ROM!
[HTC Sensation] cool_scorpion:
GPSLocationProvider issue

Hi all. I installed the 3rd May rom - however, been facing significantly high battery drains (running with a 3 month old anker replacement battery so that is surely not a problem - also, no such problem with a previous rom). Charged the phone till around 11PM yesterday, and then left it on. Now,. after 12H 25M, I am down to 4% battery ! I can see in better battery stats GPSLocation Provider as contributing to 12H16M and 101.8% !

My location services have been switched off completely, and I do not use Google now or any other app that has anything to do with location.

Can any one suggest a way to resolve this please?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
Hi, I like JB, in general: I have it on a Wildfire S and at home we also have a Nexus4.

This is the reason why I would like to have JB also on my Sensation, however, being this my primary phone, I want to make sure that "everything" works well.

The main reason for me to drop the stock rom is that it is not very stable. The UI reboots every now and then and lag is noticeable at times. I also think that the auto-brightness is fundamentally broken on Sense 3.6.

There are also some fairly annoying "features" of Sense 3.6 which - frankly - make it look like a half-ass job (it probably is a half-ass job).

On the Wildfire S I had to try several very nice roms before finding one where everything (that I need) worked well. Everyone uses the phone in a different way (that's the beauty of smartphones, isn't it?) so a rom that is perfect for someone may just not be good enough for someone else.

Anyway, I'm going to start flashing the firmware, do a Nandroid backup and then flash this rom: wish me luck!
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Wow, sounds like lots of people are having the same issue as me..

Albinoman, any thoughts?

Just when I thought my phone was okay, my GPS icon decided to pop up again and say "hello". LOL!
[HTC Sensation] jesterpaul:
I came to this ROM from a beautifully performing and well customized Venom Viper 1.6.3 ROM. Vipers gave me great battery (also on a 3 month old Anker).

At first I had the same massive drain issue. As an additional factor I nstalled Turbo boost as well (3 partitions, same as on Vipers). After a few days I'm getting quite decent life from my battery.

I would give it a few charges and discharges before passing judgment.

i'm not talking about quick pull down... what i want is complete removal of quick settings...which means when i pull down notification bar, the only button present in the top right corner takes me straight to settings... this was the case in 4.1.2 ROMs... recently DennisBold has made this feature optional in his slimbean ROM... i wish albinoman887 too makes this optional...
[HTC Sensation] BlackDex:
If I'm correct this is something in cm10.1. Don't know if albinoman887 is going to alter cm10.1 stuff. But it's clear what you mean now :).
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Are these both in the same location where you experience the weak wifi? Just you said it was at work, and your first screenshot was taken just after midnight?
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
No, I'm not at work. I'm home on sick leave. Screenshots are taken at

same

position in my hallway (some 9m from router, around the corner), same hand....Only two things are different ROM (JB CM10.1/ICS) and my clothing (pyjamas/sweatpants). Both are fresh, clean flash.

Look, I'm not some jurk who wants to fool you. I don't said that this Albinomans ROM is guilty for that. Same situation is with official CM10.1, downloaded from Cyanogenmod site. This is AOSP/AOKP problem and only reason I asked that question on this thread is conversation with people who uses same ROM and device as I (well, I try to). What else do you need? Two witneses and notarized? Cmon!
[HTC Sensation] kyler084:
Hi there, great Rom , absolutely loving it on my sensation , however is it just me or is the advanced reboot menu missing ?? Many thanks
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
It is but just go to Settings -> Developer -> Advanced rebot.
[HTC Sensation] FuPete:
I cant say for sure, but it seems like I got a weaker Wifi signal, too.

When I was lying in my bed this morning, it disconnected a few times and switched to HSDPA. I cant remember that happened before.

However, (like I said) I am not sure atm. I will see these days.
[HTC Sensation] rdelar01:
For a second, I had to wonder... Are the pajamas fresh, or the install? ;)
[HTC Sensation] sudy:
Both! :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
Went to bed with 100% battery. Woke up with 27%. Gpslocationprovider held a wakelock for 8 hours. Running may 3 with T-Mobile data tweak enabled.
[HTC Sensation] rainversion13:
Help me. Everything's working fine except for incoming calls. I can hear the other people talking but they can't hear me talking? What to do?

Sometimes too, if I'm trying to call someone, it automatically says "call ended". It's not like this before. Help. Thanks in advance

Btw, im on the latest build.
[HTC Sensation] harsh.deep:
Great rom. Pretty fluid with the performance!! But the battery life. Moderate use lasts for 5 hours before draining. Any suggestions to make it last long?
[HTC Sensation] faultytowersdude:
Just had lots of crazy graphic glitches couldn't see anything had to reboot phone
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
There's a q&a forum regarding things like battery drain with this ROM. Ask or search in that thread.

the basic things apply, check what app is causing the drain. Uninstall or force sleep with greenify or similar app.

[HTC Sensation] elyts:
These are my battery stats with moderate use and stock kernel. If your battery life is horrible, its not the roms fault.
[HTC Sensation] rainversion13:
Additional details is that google now recognizes my voice and I can record my audio in the sound recorder app. So I don't know what's causing the microphone call issue. really need your help.
[HTC Sensation] massokenny:
This is amazing, I can barely reach 1h of screen time. Could you generate a detailed list of the hardware you have on your phone? Example screen type, Bluetooth chip-set and so on? I can try to generate the same hardware list to see what are the difference so that everybody will be able to have such a great battery life.

Are you using default kernel settings? Are you on 3G/4G all the time or are you using juice defender or similar?

Now I cannot give you my hardware list because adb teels me my phone is offline. Strange never happened before.

[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
I was trying to update,

I format cach and dalvik cach, then install the last version of the rom

Now im stuck at the htc logo
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
If you really believe this, please try to solve these "problems" personally (via pm) or at least in the FAQ thread in the Q&A forums! It was stated multiple times, by the dev and by MANY users - there is no "general" battery life problem at all. 1h screen on time max? Either your battery is almost dead or something is borked at your side. Definetly user error. No need to move on with this discussion in this thread.

PLEASE: Don't reply to this post! Nobody! Just stop it!
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
sometimes it will stay on the screen for awhile after update. (or is it the spinning CM that will stay on screen for awhile?)

Assuming when you say update that you've already had a version of Albino's rom installed, I'd guess you just downloaded a bad download, I'd suggest re-download, battery pull, boot into recovery and try re-install.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
And,

even more important

, switch to this thread: [FAQ] FAQ and Troubleshooting Help for Albino's CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 ROM

This should be the thread for EVERY user, who's got some INDIVIDUAL problems which are not common and not dev related. Hopefully at some day everybody will have learned it.
[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
Well, i did all this, except for "bad downloaded"
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
What am I missing?

Hi again, I have installed firmware 3.3.

The phone is rooted and S-OFF.

HBOOT is version 1.27.1100

I placed the two .zip files in the root of the SD card.

I start the phone in recovery mode: the options I have are:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

If I go into "Recovery" the display shows the image of a phone being updated (the green arrows indicating an update) and quickly locks up with a red triangle.

I am definitely missing something ...
[HTC Sensation] massokenny:
I think that you need to ban me from the forum if you want e to stop. I was not complaining about battery life, I was trying to collect info about software hardware to solve mine, and also somebody else problem. If you look I am not the only one that have some trouble and not all is due to users making mistakes (there are different phones with different hardware) and if I found a correlation between hardware or settings giving good battery and hardwrae giving bad battery I can work on that.

Please if you want to cite me again and ask me to stop posting battery related issue do as you prefer but as I told you before don't expect me to stop replying unless you ban me.

[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:

[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Yes. Discuss this in the Q&A thread.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Review (not here) how you flash RUUs.
[HTC Sensation] ceyo14:
This happens to me with viper 3.. Just keep trying... Or switch to a different build
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Rob,

It is the dev who requested that battery life not be discussed here. Discuss that, 3rd-party software, and other non-development issues in the Q&A thread. Please.

Understand that we are trying to help you by referring you to the best resource available.

You are also free to search this thread. You will find that the issue has come up many times, always with the same answers - e.g., do at least 3 full charge cycles before drawing conclusions.

This is a very popular ROM, always attracting new users who don't realize that a ROM that is basically 4 months old needs serious development discussion. For the basics, it is not demeaning and is, in fact, simple courtesy to refer to the ROM's Q&A thread!

Yrs,

dkephart

[MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION] Are you using the pyramid_defconfig as the build-linaro.sh script suggests from the Team-Hydra sources (as detailed in the OP)? I don't seem to be able to produce a viable kernel...
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
The dev asked nicely many times to keep battery life related question in the FAQ thread, respect his wished. The link is in the OP
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Weird, it compiles fine for me using that script. Even after some modification.

Which distro are you running? Do you have the necessary packages installed?

Edit: If my memory serves me correct, dastin made a commit which broke the kernel. I forked the repo just before the commit so that's why I might be able to compile and you don't.
[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
There is no HTC logo when booting up this ROM. Did you come from a Sense based ROM and not do a full wipe before flashing? You need to wipe everything except the SD card when switching from one ROM to another.
[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
i tried different build, same

i really don't know whats going ob

i updated my sultan kernel too, from r20 to r23
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yes there is, unless you've changed your splash screen. The bootanimation should have changed to cyanogen when this rom was installed though.
[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
htc logo come first then i got cyanogen logo
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Please ask these questions in the FAQ thread. This thread is not for tech support. We will be glad to help you in the other thread.
[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
i will try to change the kernel, what are recommended kernels other than sultan?
[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
Mine has always had a "SENSATION" logo before the CM logo when on this ROM.

Anyways, have you checked the MD5 sum of your download?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Are you S-ON? If so use 4ext smartflash or twrp dumblock.
[HTC Sensation] Ebojager:
I have noticed this as well and I cant get it to re-connect unless I reset my router. Then its good for a couple hours.

I decided to try the Sultan r24b5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035897) I think kernel thats listed on here and its been working better. I might have set too many options in the aroma setup as I like chose best performance on almost all of them 1512/384mhz 266mhz 2d 300mhz 3d, no UV and no swaps, only the 2048 SD read ahead.

I did not have good luck trying to install any that had the bcm4329 driver. The phone would hang at the HTC logo.
[HTC Sensation] duck0:
It does compile, but it runs "weirdly", I can't really explain it. Starts slowly, and sometimes just hangs. If I were to guess it acts memory starved.
[HTC Sensation] alik713:
Quick q.

I've got original HTC Sensation headphones (with mic), and every time I use them, the person on the other end of the line tells me that it sounds like I'm either under water or have put him on the speaker.

Anyone has recommendations as to which headphones (with a mic) work?

Thanks!

And thanks for a great ROM!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Search the accessories forum. There are numerous topics on this. This hardware accessories question does not belong in a development forum.
[HTC Sensation] alik713:
I had no idea there was an accessories forum.

Thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] DBGT_87:
oh, i did nothing, now the phone has boot normally
[HTC Sensation] qsmyle:
This is my last post in this topics. I sell my dear Sensation and get a S3. I think share my impressions about the device and the rom.

Last friday I installed this rom, and changed the good old [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][4.1.2][06 March] what I used before.

I'm watching the battery drama about Sensation and this rom. I bought my htc half year ago and the battery life was terrible. Yes, definitely I had to purchase one better. I get a htc battery, 1730 mAh. This solved the huge battery problem. I have tried many roms here, and three monts ago I stucked next to Kang 4.1.2. A smart phone could not have enough stand by time and battery life, but I found the best rom in reliablity, andurance and battery life. Next to my choice I always read this topic I was very inqusative about the development of 4.2.2 rom. May brought the day, I decided. There was the time I backed up my whole application arsenal with Titanium. Full wiped all of my partitions except SD and done a clean install of this. Yes, the rom is very cool and smooth and usable. I was very happy. I made a battery calibration and started to use day by day. This had been only two days, and It come over, I had to charge my phone twice a day! Listen music or give a facebook scroll eat my battery, more than 4.1.2 rom. I don't know why. I didn't do any other stuff than before. Just use it. Today I went back to 4.1.2 and I will sell my phone with it. S3 has a very good hardware with battery optimization. And my front camera went wrong a few month ago. Htc goes down, I was thinking about Htc One but it has many restrictions compare to S3, I don't know how people think go out a flagship phone without card slot.

I'm very glad to see you guys here, and read many good stories and see developements. I hope the best for you all! ;)

[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Got a logcat of WiFi not turning on and phone freezing after a while + reboot. I just got home and used SwitchPro widget to turn wifi on but nothing happened. In wifi settings I saw the message "wifi is turning on", so I grabbed a logcat with Kernel Tuner. After some time the phone got frozen and rebooted. Logcat and kmsg are attached. Sorry for the kmsg beeing so long. Don't know where to cut it off.

Had the same bug more often on the dirty flash. Clean install was performed on the 1st Mai build. Since then I dirty flashed the updates.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
This is the issue I get too, all you have to do, is go to settings, and then turn WuFi OFF (which apparently is ON) and then without the slightest scroll reboot the phone, then you'll see WiFi OFF normally.

Afterwards, open up WiFi advanced settings and gi to region code section and then select one except europe that is selected already. Then go back to WiFi page and turn it on immediately without going former. By the way, be careful that you will not turn the phone off or reboot it while wifu is on, hereafter.

Alsi, you have to select a region code everytime you boot up, before turning wifi on.

I asked Albinoman887 as well, about that where is the regiin code located that I can makebit still, or let it never change and he said he'll look into it, but not seen yet. :(

EDIT: i have to go to typing class, a whole lotta mistypes! Please alter between i and o yourself, til you make up the word that is unknown. :D

Spit out from an HTC Sensation XE, a revived device while was dying due to lack of support, with TeamVenom, and other astonishingly amazing developers' benignity...
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
I think it's due to the LMK settings. Free RAM drops below +/-70MB, it lags for a bit then restores itself (+/-150MB RAM free).
