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.
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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
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.

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!

Greetings,
I currently have a Sensation 4g on TMOUS. It is unlocked, rooted and S-OFF. I was running Revolution HD 2.3.4 with beats audio on my phone. Works perfectly.
Today I tried to upgrade to Revolution HD 4.0.3 with beats audio but I cannot get past the booting screen. I've super wiped and then installed the custom rom but it wont go past the first boot. I even waited 30 minutes and nothing happens. It just shows the beats logo. I have the same problem with the 4.0.3 without the beats audio. Any ides on how i could make it work? Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thank you,
Radu.
Sounds like its a firmware problem. What firmware is the Rom you want to download require and are you updating that firmware in your Hboot before you install the rom?
Find my post in general will help you out

Great to hear..you will have fun and enjoy the many options you have with sensation developments. Cheers mate
Edit. Don't forget to delete the firmware file off your SDcard once you updated it. If you leave it on there everytime you do recovery it will want to do a update.. just some advice..

It seems like all my phones are having problems this month.
Anyways, Sensation XE got updated to ICS in India a few days ago and i downloaded the update after which this WiFi and other wireless issues started.
My phones WiFi shows disconnected when i turn it on and when i turn it ON it says connecting and then gets OFF on its own. I tried forget network and the connected again but still the issue. Also my WiFi-Hotspot doesn't work....it reads 'turning on'...stays for a long time and then 'off'. Same thing is there with the Bluetooth. I re-booted, still nothing.
My phone is not rooted, S-ON and stock ROM....so i have pretty much no idea what to do. Tried reaching HTC via e-mail but no reply. So i turned to the best people in the job :highfive:
P.S. I dint have any problem with the phone when i was using Gingerbread.

I did a factory reset...it didn't work. Still have the Wi-Fi issue and all the other issues.
why is this happening ?! the phone was perfectly fine before the update...not most wireless things dont work.
Im sure it isnt hardware related because i havnt dropped or even bumped the phone in 6 months since buying !

Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.
