Sensation Flash on low battery at 29%!!

my sensation rooted and s-off is at 29% and it says flash cant be used cuz battery is low!? is there something wrong? or is my battery not calibrated yet?

No, it's that way for me too. It's dumb but yeah.

Damn. That suks. Any way to change that?

I don't think so unless a custom ROM has changed the setting.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".

it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.

Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.

oh alright then

It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

Any Solutions Yet

Have you tried disabling power saver?

i always have it disabled

I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...
huh..

it would be great if someone can build an apk or a patch for it to force the flash to work when the battery is low

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.

Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.

I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.

why does my sensation feel sticky?

Since the last update the phone has played up.
I got stock rom, latest version.
Now when i use the phone its sticky when i slide through pictures or randomly unresponsive.
I only have @ 120mb free of memory when looking at settings even after i kill all processes.
Any ideas?

Dude go with android hd 3.11 definitely the fastest version

There is no "best" ROM. It all depends on personal opinion.

try removing any apps you don't need/use
I'd also recommend getting S-OFF/ROOT and installing a custom ROM.
There is a guide on how to do all of this in the Development section

Wasnt so intetested in rooting.
I have reset phone, and still the same? Its only been like it since last update, i guess i will have to suffer it for now?

Get an overclocking app and set it properly,if you dont have one itll run at the stock speed for that kernel

Meaning? Could you explain a bit more please?

not to scare you, but you might be a "victim" of unresponsive screen on sensation. i'm having the same issues also. check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129272

Download CPU Master (its the only one that has worked on all OC kernels for me) open it>Allow root permissions>max speed (set to over 1000) >min speed (set to 192 or above)

Lagging while multitasking

Hey I'm running ARHD 3.6.8 and my phone runs smooth when single tasking but when I start doing 2-3 things at a time it starts to run real laggy and running smooth...its running at default 1.5ghz with ondemand scaling....is there anything I can do to make it run better cause I know my phone is more than capable of doing what I was smoothly

What things are you doing when you do 2 - 3 things at a time. Can you give some examples.

Hmm, just had a quick try.
Music in the background, then:
- Open Browser and do a Google search;
- Start and browse XDA;
- Play Jewels;
- Open App drawer and scroll the apps.
I didn't notice any lag in particular. Just my usual network issues.

Tried flashing a different kernel?

I'm seeing the same exact things with Sense 3.5 on InsertCoin w/ Bricked kernel.
I'll switch from Facebook to Twitter to Messages and will see that black screen for about 1-2seconds before it actually loads up the app.

I'm using faux123 0.2.5b4 on CM7 and likewise no issues with his Kernels from what I've tried. I did try Bricked some time back and had a few reboots so back to Faux.

I usually don't install any extra's before the 1st boot but hey if it works it works!

Another problem appears
The temperature remains around 40C(104F), How come?
(using Faux's 002 kernel ) setcpu: 982Mhz

The processor is being overworked for some reason. Also, SetCPU causes problems with Faux's kernel, you really shouldn't use it...that could be part of the problem. Another part is that you are lowering the device's max CPU threshold, which means it takes longer for your phone to carry out simple tasks. For a different CPU controller try No-frills CPU instead.

Yes, SetCPU is for SebastianFM Kernel ... and works very well ...
Try to flash again with SebastianFM option during install, for me work very well with or without SetCPU settings ...

Great! After No-frills is installed, the temp gets back to 30C. However the temp really is higher than stock Kernel. Is it normal?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

I wouldnt worry too much about that, 30C isnt too hot.. The phone is bound to heat up if you are playing with the CPU speeds. Plus running a custom Kernel, And even a case can keep the heat in..
Providing it doesnt get hot to the touch you should be fine.

My sensation starts to warm up... 40 degree again..
I worry about it because some energy loses to surrounding through heat, thus battery drains much faster.

40 is still normal. But if it worries you too much. Try sebastians 1.30.2 1.512ghz kernel. You can use setcpu to clock it down to like 1ghz or 1.2 and see if it works for you.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

The processor in the Sensation is the same one that is in the Amaze. This processor is designed for 1.512GHz. On the Sensation, HTC underclocked the processor to 1.2. Increasing the clock back to 1.512GHz is not a true over clock, it is restoring what the processor is designed for.

go into power or battery I don't remember... then uncheck fast boot
and use system tuner instead

The only time you should be worried about the device is when it gets between 50-60C/122-140F. Even then it still isn't high enough of a temperature to harm the device.

XE and Sensation uses the same CPU?!! Got it
I flashed a new kernel-Faux123 ~
How to use system tuner? it sounds difficult..

Have you installed it yet? Everything is pretty much self-explanatory. Undervolting also help the cpu run cooler. Mine is undervolted -100mV. Very stable.

Installed
After I adjust the voltage in system turner, then...hand & restart.
1000mV for 1.51GHz, ok?

New problem found!
The fauxclock always gives a error message after adjustment...even underclock.

vipers 1.5.2 camera crash and wifi weak

hi all,
i have a clean and fresh rom... wipe wipe wipe... everything seems work great, except the camera and wifi lil weak....
when i take 5 pictures in row ( no burst mode) , auto facing off . the camera exiting... and i have to click on the camera again. and i tried another five shots and happen again.........
the wifi a little bit weaker this time..... im sitting next to the router and gets unstable signals. sometimes full and most time less than full in one or two bars.... the range is 3 feet from the router... i used to gets full signal on 1.4.0 for 12-15 feet from the router:silly:
i did search very very hard and tried every possible fix, but i failed....
thank you guys for the BESTEST OF THE BEST rom ever :victory::victory::victory::good::good::good:

Are you completely on viper stock? No custom kernel? Memory tweaks? Undervolting etc?
As for the wifi, try forcing enabled wifi n in the viper tweaks. Might do the trick..

yes im completely on viper stock... no custom kernel, no no no other stuff.
but i tried today faux kernel, its solved the camera and wifi but i start get reboots and sometimes the phone freezes after or during the calls.
EVEN WITH FRESH INSTALL
and i tried sebastianFM kinda fixed the wifi but same problem with camera. but the phone feels lil choppy....
im guessing its just a kernel issue, cause the camera missing hardware GPU and can't handle fast and high quality pictures a the same time.
well thank you so much guys for all your hard work and time
