Researching and reading some homeowner concerns of htc sensation, I have observed that a large number of users after making root and s-off a large majority are having problems with the responsiveness of the data signal on the phone, even do not know that usually this problem if the custom ROM or made S-OFF, so if we know the problem is there, if you have the same problem post your complaints here.
people forget to match up radio versions and corresponding rils. i haven't had any issues with the properly matches rils/radios.

Noob here, i just want to ask how to check if i have matching radio and rils, i have flashed the arhd 4.1.4 on my phone and the radio that matches with the rom. I tried going back and forth to different arhd versions and i still ended up with unstable signal mainly on my carrier, wifi and data is fairly good. any tips and tricks u could share with me to fix this problem.. thanks in advance

Here's what you want, but I tell you that I tried everything and still does not solve this problem, I combined the radio and RIIL and versions anyway and I have not been able to solve this problem

So your still stuck with the same problem as me? Or did you just go back to out of the box stock Rom? I was thinking of just go with the stock, since I've been having problems mainly on signal issues after I flashed arhd and I can't stand having to turn airplane mode on and off everytime to gain signal.

Root and a off don't relate to signal, but what you flash after that does. Easiest solution is to use the same radio and ril combo as was included stock, whichever ROM you're using. Newer radios can give some improvements, but also can cause issues

Meaning the radio that comes with the out of the box stock , radio that comes with the phone when I first got it?

Hey all I new here

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.

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!

Same here, but with occasional wifi calling FC's. I did find with mine that GreenPower caused a low wifi signal for some reason. Turning that app off immediately increased signal strength.
I got the phone already rooted & the only ICS rom I tried was ARHD. Everything was good & all but I just couldn't never get my WiFi connected. I don't never use WiFi calling.
No prob here, I'm using ARHD 6.2.1. Previous version had a wifi problem. I also have wifi calling available.

The reason I ask is because there is two ways two s-off your phone one of the ways seems to be causing wifi issues, according to some users. Doesn't sound you know what method was used to s-off yours but sounds like it was with the htcdev site.

do you have any issues with wifi calling? Because I have the same setup as yours and the wifi calling connection drops every 5-10 minutes even if I'm not on the phone. Yet the WiFi maintains its connection with my router...

If you have a WiFi problem you may need to:
Extract the Rom file on the pc and it may have an unsecured boot.img file. If so then download adb and put the boot file in the same folder as the adb file. It has to be the same folder. Then hold shift and right click on the folder and press open in command prompt. The phone needs to be in fastboot, go into hboot and click fastboot and have it plugged in. Then on the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img , after that is done type fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot reboot. This flashing should be done after the Rom has been flashed, I do it before the first boot.

I've tried using wifi calling on at least 3 or 4 different ICS roms and it does the same thing dropping the call within a few minutes. I don't even bother trying it anymore, too bad as it would be really nice to have. Maybe when HTC releases a final version but I'm not holding my breath.
I found a ROM that works...thanks anyways.
Yeah, no problems here on V.I. 3.5.0
I'm just curious. I'm running the newest elegancia 4.1 on 3.32 firmware. What exactly is the difference in 3.33? Would there be any noticeable change in operation or performance? Mainly just wondering if its worth the effort to change firmware as I'm not seeing any bugs with the Rom/firmware I currently use.
Also, I dropped my phone recently and my WiFi will no longer turn on. I'm assuming I somehow physically broke my WiFi, as I've tried restoring a backup and new rom and still nothing. Any other ideas?

The difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is that 3.33 updates your radio to 11.24 (you can check what radio you have by booting into the bootloader).

Actually it's radio 1.76 in 3.33. Also it changes the ril and hboot. But saying that there's not that much difference all roms that work with 3.33 work with 3.32 also

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.
