[Q] suggestions on getting less heat from phone

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.

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.
Remember to backup and clear caches before flashing.

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.

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.

Thanks for the advise mate. I tryd GPS status still no lock on any satellite.

Many users thought it was helpful, it helped me too!

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?

Hey all I have tryed that fix flashed with adb didn't work sadly. Is there a command using adb that could state wat the GPS is doing. I tryed GPS status is said no satellites found and non in use.

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?

I rebooted. And I used the radio that was recommended. And I'm using [email protected] Thank you for the help mate

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!

Download turbo gps from the market and see if you getting NMEA strings,if they are empty take the gps.pyramid.so file from system/lib/hw/ and replace it with the same file from sense rom. This solution fixed my gps issues on aosp roms.

Trouble With phone. What is the cause of it?

I Have a HTC Sensation. I had revolution hd on it, but got bored of sense so i installed virtuios inquistion with the stock ics. After a month of using it on that rom. My phone will randomly turn of through out the day. If I tried to turn it back on. It will start to boot up, but turn off again. If I did manage to get it back up, my battery will be drained to like 10 or 5%.
I went back to my old rom, revolution hd and I still have this issue. It makes it quite annoying when u want to use your phone, the moment the screen turns on, it shuts it self off and drains the battery. it always picks a random time to do it. once it does it hard to get it back and running after that unless i give it a fill charge.
Is it my battery, kernel, or my phone? any ideas.

It's probably the kernal you have did u try to return back to stock
Sent from my Sensation Z710e with beats audio using xda premium

I just did factory reset and the problem is still occurring. Any more ideas?

A factory reset won't fix a kernel issue. Reflash the universal 3.32 firmware. If it is kernel related you will be back to the stock kernel.

Hi,
Sounds like a kernel problem to me, go to the below thread pick one of the kernels (I suggest using either Bricked or Faux) and flash it in recovery. If that does not work let us know.

random rebootd

Hi all,
For the last few weeks my sensation has been rebooting without any apparent reason. The paper trick didn't work. Wat todo??! thanks
sent with a spoon, a towel and a rooted piano running opensensation

Are You under clocked at all? If so could be under clocked too much . If under clocked adjust and raise CPU. This should help if under clocking is the issue. If not have you experimented to see if the reboot issue is still present with a different Rom? Do try and see if problem still persists. Hope this helps.

Thank you for anwsering. Raising CPU didn't help. Can you recommend me some AOSP roms to try, I don't have much experience with anything other than cm.

I have the same problem, but I tought it is the battery :/

Well, I have seen a lot od posts from people whose sensations reboot randomly but sadly that isn't the case with me.
On the bright side I made a factory reset and a clean install and no problems for now. ;D

USB OTG with bricked?

I know that Sebastian's kernel provides this function, but what about Showp's? Is there any way to make bricked suport it, or has anyone tried modding bricked to support usb otg?
I love bricked battery life and sweep to wake
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2

if sweep2wake is indeed ....the only cause that you didnt went to seb's kernel ..try grogg's kernel ..in his ROM thread ..the kernel he compiled just has SEB's + sweep2wake + USB fast charge
BTW if using viper rom ..then its absolutely fantabulous ...im using the same kernel with viper for past month or so
seems like he removed them ..
i got the kernel uploaded here..if you want

You can turn on sweep to wake in most kernels by using kernel tuner. Just go to misc. Tweaks and scroll down you will see where it will say sweep to wake off. Simply turn it on from there. I hope this is helpful to you. I too like sweep to wake and I discovered this function the other day! Super easy. Hope this helps.: )
