[Q] suggestions on getting less heat from phone - HTC Sensation

im on ARHD 3.6.2 ,
after couple of minutes of playing games but phone is super hot i mean i cant even touch the bottom part of the phone (where the home button etc is at)
anyway i know there are some solutions or think there are solutions ,
i would like to know which one you think is the best?
solutions that i think will help:
1. run the patch to down clock to 1.2 - in mike's first post
2. run the thermal patch on faux kernel's thread
3. change my kernel to bricked kernel
also i got anker battery if its important.
if you have other suggestions it will be really good to hear them out.

I ran the thermal patch and it has worked pretty well for me. I haven't had my phone get as hot as you were describing earlier however, it was uncomfortable to hold even through my case.

Happy flashing!
Edit: Don't forget to clear your cache partition and your dalvik caches. And remember ALWAYS back-up prior to flashing, just incase.

Got the same issue. CM7 a8 taimat kernel.

The faux kernels and patch is based on HTC source code for the above patch. The patch you want to use for CM7 can be found at the link below.

you guys might want to download faux clock apk to help with the manual set up of the kernel specs.
just a suggestion. always helps to know exactly what your working with and be in control. its a little more detailed than say oc daemon.
side note: remember to try and uninstall if you have issues in the future trying to flash new kernels.

i will give a try to the thermal patch..
but i dont holds to much hope for it to work...
unless it some miracle patch
my phone getting really hot.. its really weird what is the reason

Would this patch work on the stock kernel?

What ROM are you running?
Edit: Yes, use the top download.

What setup do you have? Currently I'm running Android Revolution HD 4.1.3 with faux kernel 0.2.2 beta 2 and I am getting no heat problems like I was when I was running 0.2.1 final. I also have amaze camera, modified bootanimations, EQS, APM, custom battery icon, and the 4G symbols added on. Only thing I did was switch my kernel. The patch helped with the 0.2.1 final faux kernel some but not as much as I would have liked so I switched kernels. I would recommend giving this kernel a try. Link below

No need to cool it down.
If it gets that hot, there is a problem with either sw or hw, it's not normal. So instead of healing symptoms you should look for a cause.

i cant think of any cause,
as my phone worked great before i rooted it and installed ARHD
after i got mike's Rom each time (no matter which version) i ran a game (most likely angry birds) for more then 10 min the phone start to get really really hot.
so.. any ideas? its must be a rom issue which need to be fixed but i got no clue what to do next

Mike's ROM over clocks the CPU and that can result in generating a lot of excess heat. Use the Daemon to put the CPU back to the wake max setting of 1188000.

Also, make sure to do a 'full wipe' before reflashing. You may also want to consider 'downgrading' superuser right now. The current version is bugged and causing issues like you've described. Just a suggestion...

Full wipe means use superwipe? Or use the wipe factory/system data option from cwm? And how to check which version of superuser I have ? Thanks and sorry for so many questions, I know that there's a thread to answer all these by its like digging for a treasure to find the right thread.

Hi,
A super wipe will clear all the necessary caches and data for a clean install.
To check an app version,go to settings >applications>manage applications>all>superuser.
I cannot understand why you are still not getting a smooth experience from 3.6.2.
I put up a super user 3.0.2 on THIS POST
Good luck.

Thanks. I actually also don't know why I still have glitches when using 3.6.2 version but its way better than 4.1.3 that I flashed the other day. I'm sure there's something I did or should have done so I will not get this glitches like unstable signal, apps force closing.

If your rooted and on a sense 3.5 rom, try a custom kernel. Ex: Bricked or Faux123's kernel. It removes that cap.

Battery&camers
Go into settings and turn off power saver and that should fix that. I had the same problem and I have discovered when you have power saver turned on it won't let you use the camera when the battery is @ 30% and no you don't need to be rooted to do this It's just a matter of going into settings and untick power saver however rooting the HTC sensation 4 is strongly recommended and flashing a ROM along with really good kernel you will increase your performance and battery will last longer

Still doesn't work for me.
I have rooted and flashed ARHD 3.6.2.
I have disabled Power Saver mode in settings.
The phone still prevents me from using flash below a certain battery threshold (seems to be around ~30%).

Really? I mean the sensation xe. I'm asking bc I want to know how its running at stock 1.5 so that I can use this on my regular sensation. Yes I know there are custom kernels that give this option but would rather run 1.5 on stock configuration

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
It's the same processor, HTC just underclocked our CPU to 1.2ghz at the time to save battery.
But with the XE having a much bigger battery, they can evenout the battery life and run the CPU at it's intended speed.
understood, but the question is HOW. If they both have the same hardware, there is something (kernel related maybe) that is making the XE run at 1.5 . Nobody has been able to figure this out as of yet (at least from what I've read).
Correct. Question is why same firmware runs at different clock speeds on the same hardware on two different models
edit, what it's XE CID?.

GPS problem

Hey all I new here
I have a HTC sensation it broke twice so has been sent of for repair loads
Iv recently ft it back with the GPS not working it comes up with the flashing
GPS icon in notification bar but doesn't lock.
So I decided to root it and install fash Rom to se if it could fix the problem
But sadly hasnt.
I realy can't be bothered to send it away again because they are crap at repairs
U always get it back with something else broken lol.
Is there a place were I can buy a GPS receiver and replace mine?
Hope to here what you guys think.

It's not a hardware issue. Download GPS status from the market and clear the GPS cache. Should fix your problem.

Is that worth doing whether your GPS is actually working or not? As it seems to imply it'll see more satellites...

For the most part it should work. Usually whenever gps shows sats but doesn't lock it mostly has to do with kernels, ril/radio combos, and the version of superuser one is on.
I had an issue where the gps would not lock at all, but after a lot of troubleshooting, I ran into those issues. I just flash whatever rom I want, make sure the ril and radio combo works. Do not mess with the kernels for now and test for gps. If it doesn't work, try crypted's fix.
Thanks guys ill that. If it doesn't work can I jus flash a diiferent kernel and dif version of superuser if so what would you put on a HTC sensation on o2?

Did you reboot? And what kernel are you using? And have you confirmed that you have the correct ril/radio combo working with that rom you are using?

Just a fyi, I have always had problems with faux kernels and running gps. Is that kernel the bundled into the rom? Is there a more 'stock' kernel you can try?
Also use file explorer/astro to the system/etc folder. Make sure you just delete the suplrootcert. It's not needed to run gps at all. Totally optional file the gps.conf file uses, but I delete it anyways.
yea it was a bundle i think there was a stock rom. what rom and kernels are good for sensation.

Shut down the phone and take the battery out for 30 seconds. Put it back in and then turn the phone back on. That fixed the problem for me, and it also worked for a number of other people. It might work for you, although there is only one way to find out!

[Q] anybody got android 4.01 roms?

Hello. I'm semi-bricked so I cannot use android 4.03 roms. They just don't work for me. I loved arhd 5.01 because I thought it would be awful but it isn't. It has epic speech recognition problems though, it just says unfortunately voice search has stopped. It says this for each of the voice needed applications. Does anybody have any other 4.01 roms? Preferably sense but I don't mind
You could try hypernonsense, so smooth, fast and stable.
Is it android 4.01 or gingerbread
Please stop flashing your phone until you know what you are doing. I would think after all of the trouble you had previously after flashing firmware being stuck with s on and your phone being in an unusable state you would have stopped messing with it.
Go back to stock and leave it alone. You are eventually gonna brick it. You need to do a lot of reading so you are not asking for help all day, everyday.

I'm furthermore 'sorry' if i have angered you experienced users but i have not really asked for help with my phone for a while now and i dont intend to. I wasn't posting this to be annoying, I just needed help finding android 4.01 roms and incase anybody else needed them.

Yes I flashed it. I think you should :
1. Flash 3.32 fw
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe davlink cache
5.Flash virtuous 4.0.0
6. Reboot
Then if it work you can flash addons, kernels
