Hi there,

As i was in holidays cut off from fast internet, I spent a little while using the 14/03 release with the 1.0.6 kernel version.

Just to mention it, that combination was really stable, i might have experienced only one reboot in 2 weeks ! (for the record as i dont have any logs...).

The waking up of screen was happily fixed with the 1.0.6, battery life was really good.

Only spoted a couple of issues :

i was unable to use voIP calls on Line app (cause immediate FC)

there was a delay on video recording (which is corrected in the latest version :good:)

So now i switched to the 25/03 release since last week-end

Here is what i noticed :

Issue with Line is still present however it doesn't crash the app, calls don't work that's all => I will try to provided more details of that, however reproducing the issue is quite straightforward

There is a *really* heavy distorsion on internal speaker during calls. You get that at the very first volume levels, even if the sound level is not that high already - or i am really becoming deaf :) Could the new audio drivers be at cause ?

In car GPS mode (waze), plugged on USB charger (fast charge), it's quite hard to keep a good level of battery, seems that the power consumption is really important, the device overheat too => anyone experiencing this too ?

Once again, thanks a lot for the work done ! :good::good:
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
I experience the last point, too. When I use Maps for navigation, my phone is really really hot. But still the battery level doesn't drop extreme fast, like you would expect when a lot of energy is transformed into heat.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Hi everyone!

First again thanks Sultan for your hard work on giving our beloved Sensation a long life! :)

One question to all of you, using Google Maps for navigation. When driving on the highway, my GPS seems to be too slow to follow my car. The little arrow doesn't move continously, but jumps every few seconds to the actual place. This happens mostly, when driving faster than approx 100 kmh, but not that hard, when driving slow in the city.

Maybe it's an hardware related problem, but I just want to ask, if I'm the only one, with this problem.

I'm on 09/03, clean flashed, but had this behavior on older releases, too.

Thanks for feedback! :)

[HTC Sensation] martix90:
Nope, I have this problem, too.

In addition, i have the feeling, that the compass doesn't work that well.

When I use navigation in walking mode, the arror is very often ~45° away from parallel to the street I'm walking on.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
OK, that calms me a bit. ;)

And I remember, that I had similar problems with compass/navigation when using the device for geocaching.

What release do you use?

[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
I've had this issue for some time now and reported it a while ago (too lazy to search for the post and link it now on my mobile). There was a suggestion how to fix it but as I haven't used navigation for some time I can't tell if the issue is still there for me (it was many releases back) but maybe search my post and try the hint I received as a reply.

I guess, this is the hint you mean, right?

OK, I'll give it a try and hope this will fix the problem!

Thanks anyway! :)
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
Yes exactly, please tell me if it solves your issue ;)
[HTC Sensation] BeriBGood:
Try app called GPS status; in the menu go to tools and compass calibration and follow the instructions.

Faulty compass sometimes happens to me because of my handy cover with magnet.

No Wi-Fi or data

I've waited a while before updating but have to say that I'm among those who have issues with data connections with the March 25 build.

No Wi-Fi, no mobile data. Seems to work but won't connect. Using GravityBox, my icon remains orange and never becomes white.

The phone gets an IP address and connects just fine, but no data is getting through. I have searched this thread but only found problems, not solutions?

It's not in the kernel btw; I can update to kernel 1.3.1 without issue, on the March 16 build.
[HTC Sensation] xboxbr:
no more updates?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
God forbid I don't post an update for 2 weeks :p. I was on spring break when I made all of those builds; spring break is over now, so I don't have as much free time during the week.

I was also trying to get PMEM camera working on 3.4, but that didn't work out, so I'm going to go back to working on this ROM instead.
[HTC Sensation] fierah:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] awesome rom :D I had a quick question, I didn't see the multi phase ondemand governor from the senny 3.4 rom on the change list, are you going to do that for this ROM since you did it for your 3.4 one?

Thanks for the awesome ROM and good luck at school, junior years hard :P
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Junior year is a killer :p

I was actually planning on removing that multi-phase Ondemand governor because it was so sloooooooowwwwwww. There's no way I'm going to add something that laggy as the default CPU governor to this kernel.

[HTC Sensation] DJ Scooby Doo:
This ROMs is top notch, it's running perfect for me. Amazing the Sensation can run KK, and still be buttery smooth. You got it bro, you're epic for making this. Thanks!

P.S. I love how KK does this now when media plays. It makes my phone stand out, and it makes it that much more personal.
[HTC Sensation] marco1962:
Hi everybody;

There is a big problem with all stock ROMs, you can test and assure by yourself.

That is Audio in all JB and KITKAT (that is so wonky), but with following ROMs everything is Okay;

​

1- Team Venom presents: ViperS 5.1.0 - Nothing is impossible!

​

2- Android Revolution HD 7.3 | ICS | High Quality & Performance

any way to solve audio problem on kitkat.

:rolleyes:

Got to state that this is the most stable and best release ever. Running 03.25 with pure kernel v1.3.1 since four days without a single reboot, lag, bug or anything else. Bought a new Anker 1900mAh, this makes a big difference. No need to improve anything, now I can easily wait for the Nexus 6. [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] you're the best! Donation will arrive in the evening (GMT ^^).

[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
I also have to thank you, Sultan, for this ROM. It's performance and stability are outstanding compared to any other ROM I've tried on my Senny.

The only issue I'm facing is the distorted sound, even on lower volume but nothing critical.

[HTC Sensation] huzaifah29:
Hey is this just from the speaker or can you hear this using headphones as well?
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
I haven't tried headphones yet because I rarely listen to music on my Senny, I noticed it for ringer and notifications sounds in every volume level.

Swyped from my HTC Sensation via Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
Yes, level is even but it takes a lot of time to increase.

I switched back to 1.0.6 in order to crosscheck. Using waze, battery level slowly increase as well, however the main difference i noticed is the temperature of the device. From being really hot - almost burning, it's only hot.

I will come back with some actual values, using temp monitor or equivalent

Edit : i monitored the temperature on a 1 hour charge (USB fastcharge eq AC) using waze and moving, unfortunately even if the phone was quite hot in the end, it seems the anker battery sensor is unaccurate or unexistant, as the battery temperature stayed at an unexpected 25 degrees celcius.

Are there other sensors (cpu ?) on the phone ?

Edit : found an app system tuner which is able to read cpu temperature. GPU temperature would have be really interesting IMHO

The SPEAKER volume is yet way too LOW! Even on full volume in a silent room, I can hardly make out my phone ringing!

Pl fix this ASAP.
[HTC Sensation] Ricardinho_xda:
The ROM 25/03 is just amazing. Very fast, stable and has really a low memory usage. My concern at this moment is the battery drain. It seems to be at this moment as to high. Radio is consuming on standby mode and draining the battery quite fast. Another issue to investigate should be also the battery management / status on charging and draining. One time my device was not able any more to shut down correctly on low battery before the battery was finaly drained out. So the device was not able any more to shut down correctly, it was a hard shut down. (The Device and two different Anker high performance battery's where verified and are in absolutly fine conditions)

I have a solution for you. Use your home theatre and plug your phone. Voila, the volume just went up. Your "silent" room will be no more silent
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
Well after flashing my phone w/this ROM from the earlier carbon ROM has made significant changes in the speaker volume. The output has become low w/ grainy unclear sound.

W/ ASAP I meant that the issue needs to be looked on priority!

Clean battery contacts or buy a new battery since your old battery isn't able to supply the necessary amount of power (hence the reboots).
[HTC Sensation] Fas1h:
Under-clocking the CPU can help? Well it does help me... I can't go higher than 1.2 ghz. On values above 1.2 flash doesn't reboot... worse... it turns the phone off.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Try viper4android makes a difference. I don't have any problems with loudness. Besides that, your behavior is quite rude.

See the answer from Bastaerd:

Besides that, the battery management shouldn't be investigated, but your usage should. Investigate by yourself which apps are draining the battery or keeping the phone awake. I'm getting magnificent results with a new Anker, consider buying a new one too. You'll be surprised. There is no drain built in the ROM, it's usage, configuration and last but not least the battery health.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
This ROM uses a 3.0 kernel, whereas that ROM uses a 3.4 kernel. I'm not really maintaining the ROM with the 3.4 kernel anymore because the 3.4 kernel has an issue with the PMEM camera drivers where using the camera crashes the phone sometimes; had I known it had this issue, I wouldn't have released it :p

This ROM is newer.
[HTC Sensation] Burth67:
Rom with 3.4 kernel

I am very sorry to hear that you are not going to maintain the rom with 3.4 kernel. Can't you used 3.4 Camera Drivers and libs from [MENTION=456600]Flemmard[/MENTION]. :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Why not then use Flammard's ROM?
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
Did I miss the launcher choice during the setup config (full wipe)? I seem to have been deposited in a Google launcher and I don't see a choice for Launcher3 or Trebuchet with today's release...
[HTC Sensation] :
I did not get a launcher choice either. Since I'm running on limited bandwith, I'm downloading the google apps package second. When I installed the ROM standalone, there was no launcher present, therefore I could only access settings via the statusbar.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Whoops, I didn't notice that CM removed Launcher3 from the default manifest. I guess that means Trebuchet is ready for prime time.
[HTC Sensation] bastei:
Since I'm using the ROM without GAPPS I experienced the same. Flashing Trebuchet from here was the solution for me. You can replace the Trebuchet.apk in the zip-file with a newer one from here. Works nice!

Encryption works like a charm again! That's nice! :good:
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
One word for the latest release: Perfect.

Thank you Sultan!
[HTC Sensation] heini_66:
hi,

frist of all: thumbs up and a big fat thxs for your work on this nice rom.

but:

with 1.4.0 kernel, i got some strange problems with my wifi.

1. it won't find any networks with wifi-analyzier app

2. can't connect via wifi to a freifunk.net node, with older build's working like a charme. ( connecting to a normal wifi net is working )

and: yes, i wiped my cache & dalvik.

cheers!
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
Hey Sultan,

For upgrading the ROM from 25th March to 13th April, do you recommend a full wipe or a dirty flash?

All those who've flashed this update - can you fellas please share the difference in experience, if any.

Also if I need to update the kernel, then I suppose the only way is to Do a full wipe, no?
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
Dirty flashed as usual, no issues here whatsoever. Not even the issue with wifi analyzer above your post. Works fine here. No you don't need to update the kernel. Since the new Tom.was.released at the same time with the new kernel it uses the new 1.4.0 kernel already. And for updating the kernel alone, no you don't need to do a full wipe. Simply flash the kernel zip and done. Ya only need to do a full wipe if coming from a different rom.

[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
Thank you so much!

Tom. ? I didn't get that and w/flashing the zip you mean to go to the recovery and installing the zip file - likewise for the ROM update, right?
[HTC Sensation] The Seeker:
Hello,

I've an old version and I'm interested to flash the latest one.

I see you speak about kernel upgrade, do I need to download another file and flash it too?

I'm sorry I'm a bit of a noob, I thought the file cm-11-20140413-Sultan-pyramid.zip had everything in it?
[HTC Sensation] CRACING:
Yeah its a ROM which includes Sultan kernel Pure v1.4.0. You can also flash only the kernel v1.4.0 but you will miss latest ROM changes as well as may face issues.

Better to download whole ROM and do fresh flash.
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Does the audio distortion still exists on latest build?
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
Yes;)
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Battery Drain

The ROM is smooth and stable but the battery drains because it won't sleep. When I used Viper, the drain is -1 mA sometimes even 0 mA.

On this ROM, it won't go to deep sleep (or perhaps it is supposed to be this way?). Any thoughts?

* On the side note. I got the stats from an app called battery monitor widget.
[HTC Sensation] CRACING:
Reboot the device and check deep sleep in wakelock detector. I faced such issues where device stops deep sleeping after charging device for few percents and used to sleep again after reboot.
[HTC Sensation] aminarmani:
Should i wipe cache and dalvik before or after apply update?
[HTC Sensation] engrbm:
I don't believe it matters. Cache and Davlik are filled when the ROM first boots. During flashing they are not touched.
[HTC Sensation] xboxbr:
I always wipe and that works fine for me
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Is there any chance to fix the audio distortion? Flashed Audiofix from other thread doesn't fix

[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
The stats you see is actually from a reboot. Here is what I did:

1.) Flash ROM (not a dirty flash) w/ GAPPS

2.) Let it run down and recharged it to 100%

3.) Installed two apps, titanium backup and battery monitor widget, and restarted.

4.) Went to bed at 11pm --woke up around 3:30am to take a piss and saw my battery drained down to 45% from 80%.

* Side note, I have a new anker battery.

I have them off by def. And dont want any stupid 'beeps' when i press anything on my phone:D

[HTC Sensation] CRACING:
Sorry, I missed two points to tell you. Enable status after unplug in wakelock detector settings and after reboot, let the device sleep for few mins then check deep sleep. Whether it works or just sucks at 0.

But as you say, the issue still occurs after rebooting then it could be different problem.

Or is it the GPS issue because I have seen people facing wakelock after turning off GPS. yes turning off GPS.
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
I lost you at "enable status after unplug in wakelock"? Also I haven't played with the GPS, and I am assuming it is off by default.
