[Fix] Sensation Proximity and Light Sensor

Hey guys,
now, those Sensors dídn't worked for me on any ICS Roms.
After hours of flashing, googling and trying useless thinks I have finally found a way to fix this.
For me, I was on ARHD 6.5.5 (Base 3.32.401.105) I had first to SuperWipe everything with mike1986.'s .zip and then install a STOCK hTc Rom through the Recovery. Then started the Phone, installed all my Apps, correct the Settings,
shut Fastboot Off and Restarted Once. Then go to recovery and flash without Wiping/SuperWiping the Rom with the Same Base, for me it was ARHD 6.6.0.
And now, I have restarted it many times to test it, AndroSensor is showing them as working, I think i found a workaround about this problem.
Steps:
1) Make a nandroid Backup (just for Sure)
2) SuperWipe everything in Recovery
3) Install the correct Stock Rom (Base 3.32.401.105 for me
4) Restart and Set the Phone up
5) Restart without Fastboot
6) Flash in Recovery your custom Rom with the same Base
7) Restart and post here if worked for you!

Please post if this walkaround had worked for you or not, maybe there is another way to do it!
All links are by mike1986. Thanks also goes to him!
If you appreciate my work, you can press the Thanks Button!
Later I will add Links to the different Stock hTc Bases
Good Luck in Fixing!

And sometimes those Sensors are not working, which is annoying.

I had the same issue and it drove me crazy. I got mine to work by fixing permissions... but have to do it every time I update.

i'm on hypersensation right now and having problems with my light and proximity sensors not working. what stock rom do i have to flash in order to have sensors working again with hypersensation rom?

tessut: Is that MMI code for O2 in DE only??

- flash Extreme Sensation Dream™ 4
- start wifix and install succesfully.
Try to start wifi and got the same error.

If I read the info, under Wifi MAC said: not avaiable, maybe is a kernel problem?

Try a new kernel instal ARHD ROM might work ...

The last chance and the ABSOLUTE one, is fixing permissions.
After searchin a lot n talkin with whole lotta peep around the world, when i found no solution, eventually when i was cycling thru the tweaks, i tapped fix permissions n now it works quite awesome!
Go into your recovery (as u said, cwm touch) n go to (i think) tools section, then "fix permissions".
Press thanks if worked.

WiFi problem

I was asked by a friend to s-off, flash Rom etc for him. I have already done two phones that went fine. This one would not s-off with wire trick. I tried over and over again. In the end I gave up and returned it to him with the orginal settings.
Now the there is a WiFi error, it won't turn on. The only thing that I did to his phone was:-
Dev unlock bootloader
Temp root
Tried to s-off (did not work)
Un temp root
Re lock bootloader
Any ideas on the WiFi?

I am having the same issue... What is the output of your logcat? Mine is saying Failed to Load Driver!
I have tried every combination of rom, kernel and even reverted to stock (as if it had rolled out the factory) and still nothing. I ahve even extracted bcmdhd driver and the bcm4239 driver from working kernels and still nothing... at my wits end. Was working perfectly right up until I updated my Rom nightly

reflash stock boot.img...do the unlock of boot-loader first though ..then flash boot.img of the stock (controlbear will backup boot.img when you tried to do SOFF ..check there ) ...then relock again

When you say look in controlbear exactly where do I look and how do I flash it?

My sensation had a hardware failure. The only thing that was wrong was wifi stopped working. Hope thats not your issue, it is a known issue with sensation though. Maybe check your back cover make sure it makes contact in all the spots its supposed to, you could have a bent contact, maybe see if wifi works with a different back cover.

It's not that. It's pretty much since I messed about with it. Can't understand why s-off wouldn't work. Anyway like I said I gave up and in temp rooted and left it as it was but the WiFi has an error now. There was one strange thing when trying to s-off. When I set it back to stock it would recognize the sd card, formatting only worked doing it through 4ext and even then I had to partition it first. Maybe thus info may help you find me a fix.

PROBLEM>SOLUTION touch problems on JB

Hi, first sorry to create a new thread in development section but I would be sure every one who's facing this problem can find this solution.
On JB Sense roms (viper & revelation & aosp) some users have touch problem when scrolling or when open notification bar etc
After a lot of researches I tried this:
I changed the LCD DENSITY from 240 to 250 and rebooted. AND WHAT? NO more lagging and problem with touch responsivness !!!
- Tried on viper 3.1.2 just after full wipe and installing the rom, you can try on any JB rom which give you this issue.
- I came back to 240 and the problem was back so I'm sure the problem come from LCD density even if I have no idea AT ALL of why it's related but maybe devs can give some lights.
- You can find LCD density changer on playstore or in viper rom in tweaks.
Hope this has helped.

That is going to make things larger on the screen right?
Its a bummer for me as I always change dpi to 213, I got used to it and now 240 is too big for me lol.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z715e using xda premium

And changing to 213 has solved the issue for you? I changed to 250 but not tested with others dpi, so anyone can confirm with other dpi if it works or not. Thanks

You can change density in build.prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
Changing density simulate different screen size.

It's a re-calibration tool which I uploaded myself, that's in my mediafire account. It wipes /data and calibrates the touchscreen.

Camera unable to start

Hello guys, my sensation is like 18 months old and several months ago the camera just stopped working. When I try to open it there is a message that says "unable to start camera".
I'm sure that it's not a software problem, I switched roms, wiped everything, restored, anything. Another weird thing is that every once in a while the camera works for few minutes or more, and then the problem returns. I'm considering buying a new camera from eBay and install it myself but I'm not sure it'll solve it & I'm afraid to ruin the device. Any help please?

Hi,
I have same problem. I did system format and the camera worked for a while. But now even if i do system format, camera doesn't work. I also think it is a software problem. Sometimes camera comes back even when i clean dalvik cache.
When i first noticed camera is not working, i had 4.0.3 android. This is when mobile network didn't work, i restarted phone and network worked, but this was when camera did not start first time.
I have CM 10.2 albinoman887, base band 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M

Just flash official Rom using RUU.exe....problem will be solved...I hope so

i checked my firmware and it's 3.33.401.53. i saw that yours is only 3.32.401.5. can it be that this difference cause the camera not to work? though i saw that mine is also for htc sensation.

why? ruu contains all kernel that controls camera? if yes, what if later i want up to date rom like CM 10.2 rom which will overwrite kernel? actually, i flashed stock rom once and for my biggest surprise camera still didn't work there.
Sometimes camera still come back if i do a dalvik cache wipe and reboot and something, i've never could remake these steps to identify the cause.
do you think i should still flash official ruu? or firmware difference makes any difference? i.e 3.33.401.53 or 3.32.401.5 for HTC sensation.

firmware has nothing to do at all
besides you have the latest version
also the only difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is radio upgrade
if you are on S-OFF and supercid you can use any ruu.exe
otherwise use the one which corresponds to your region(same firmware or higher) and cid
then we will see if it is software issue or not

I used this RUU exe:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed
Camera and flashlight didn't work
then I used this RUU exe:
RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.53-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-280871-signed
flashlight came back, but camera still doesn't work.
Do you think that sd card format would help? It seems to me that dalvik cache contains something that prevents my camera running.

you could try but after 2 ruu.exe and still the same then consider it as a hardware issue

Thanks for your help anyway. I expected that. I have one concern though, front camera doesn't work either.

Still didn't give up
I checked my logcat and found an error message (logcat: mm_camera_init: controlfd is invalid) about camera that I also found here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782456
From what I understood there, it is not a hardware problem, but maybe I'm wrong.
Can you say anything about it?
