[Q] Some questions (Plz help) - HTC Sensation

I have got HTC Sensation XE.(it is rooted,revolutionary s-off,super CID,unlocked).
My old ROM was ARHD 3.6.9 and i was really satisfied except it was a bit laggy so after witnessing people's admirations of this new ROM (ARHD 6.6.3) i decided to upgrade.
After all i installed the ARHD 6.6.3 but i have these new problems now:
1.My mobile screen turns on and off involuntarily what should i do?
2.Battery drains too fast in comparison to my previous ROM(ARHD 3.6.9) e.g today with only 3 calls and no other actions(no video and audio usage and no internet browsing)2 P.M in the afternoon i had only 23 percent juice.
Of course i think one of the main causes is that screen turn-on and off.
3.Wireless doesn't work at all sometimes it finds the wirelss networks and sometimes not.
After finding the net it can not connect and shows this message "not in range"
4.Before installing this ROM i succeeded to connect to my mobile through Adb and make it SuperCID but now adb does not recognize my mobile what has happened?
So i couldn't install the Radio.But in "About" option my Radio version reads 11.69..... is it still necessary to install it?
5.There is not any options in menus and settings for enabling GPS or i could not find the one.Of course after opening Maverick program ,GPS started but it is very laggy and after about 8 mins it found the location .Before this it was very speedy about 2 mins it could connect.So what should i do to bring that speed back?
6.Maps program does not work and steadily a message shows up "unfortunately Maps stopped"
What's the problem?
Some of my other programs does not work as well and this message shows up after trying to open them.
7.After these all i am really regretful and disappointed of this ROM.Why should i upgrade and face these all problems even i thought to sell my phone and change it.
8.Is there any way to downgrade or use main kernels from HTC to solve all of these?
I tried to downgrade my HBOOT from 1.27 to 1.17 and bring my old ROM back but i couldn't.
After flashing the old firmware(1.17 HBOOT) the system hung and couldn't start and only 4EXT recovery touch removed and Clockwork recovery recovered but the HBOOT version was still 1.27 and the system could not start.
Excuse i really bothered you people with my long questions.

1. Settings > Display. What does it say under sleep?
2. It take a few days for the battery to reach its full charge after flashing a new ROM.
5. Setting > Location > GPS Satellites or put a toggle widget on your homescreen.
6. Update maps?
7. If you really dont like it go back to your old ROM.
Personally ARHD 6.6.3 works perfectly for me.

i am a noob but i think i have answers to your questions
2) kernel problem? if you're using faux123 kernel, download System Tuner by 3c from market and make sure governor is intellidemand (it was ondemand by default for me for some reason), or reflash faux123 kernel
havent test with sebastianFM yet, sorrry
3) ICS WiFi bug?
5) Setting > Location > GPS Satellite, install GPS fix tweak?
based on my experience, gps lock speed varies by apps
for example, Sygic locate gps fast than HTC location most of the time
6) clear ur old map from ur SD card
Settings > Storage > (under SD card) Make more space > Maps

No GPS after firmware update

Hi,
I recently installed the new official HTC Firmware Upgrade on my Touch Pro.
ROM: 5.05.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 01/22/09
Radio: 1.11.25.01
After installing, i cannot seem to get a GPS fix, have been trying for last 4 hours. I did all the usual, ran the Quick GPS etc. My external TomTom receiver works fine and TomTom then runs ok on the Touch Pro.
GPS set to COM4 as before
Has anyone else had any problems since upgrading to the new firmware?
Thanks
The fix problem might be temporary. Try again tomorrow at different position
Hi Darfri,
Funny enough, i tried this morning and got a fix in about 20 seconds! So could well have been just a temp thing.
I did uninstall GPSED in between, i'm sure that was not the contributing factor, will reinstall it and try the GPS again on the way home.
M
me too
did u mean the htc's website ROM upgrade?
i did it too, and my GPS is not running, i tried it saturday and did not get sucess, i am trying today again and the same problem is ocurring, i would need my GPS working, i use IGO8, the raphael locates the GPS signal, but on the map it doesnt work
does anybody know the soluction?
Yes, i do mean the HTC website ROM.
I tried again on the way back from work after reinstalling GPSED, it is still working. No idea why it refused on the Sunday.
Try obtaining a fix in an open area for a start, once it gets its first fix after the upgrade, subsequent ones should be easier.

where did u get?
I have the same problem. Yesterday I flashed my Touch Pro with a new Radio and a new OS Rom (not the official one). I used the newest Radio Rom version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2822877&postcount=2 (1.11.25.01)
Now I'm trying to get a GPS fix with Google Maps or HTC GPS Tool, but both does not work.
I hope anyone could help.
Thanks!

Same problem here, flashed 5 days ago, intermitent gps signal (like a pulse fix / no fix) or none at all. Even try with different radios (Radio 1.02.25.32 / 1.02.25.28) and the baud rate to 57600 in my apps.
I can't be sure is due to new ROM because I flash it on my newer Fuze and never try GPS fix before. I have to say that I own a Touch pro almost a year ago and at the same time side by side get a fix in cold 10-30 seconds and warm 2-5 seconds (with a cooked ROM from "jespi2005" Radio 1.02.25.32)
Hi,
I think I have a solution.Download the HTC GPS Tool (e.g. from here http://rs276.rapidshare.com/files/84815853/Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)
-Check if you have AGPS disabled (e.g. with Advanced Config)
-Update QuickGPS
-Install HTC GPS Tool
-Run HTC GPS Tool
-Check the Correct Com Port (Settings - > External GPS)
-Set Baudrate to 57600
-Press open
-Select Cold Start from the Dropdown list
-Mark the Repeat Selectbox
-Press Nav. Init.
-Now It can take 1 or 2 hours
-Check the status via the satelit tab
If nothing works, press Close, reset your PPC, select Clear Memory from the select box, press Nav. Init. and wait about 15 Minutes and reset your PPC again. Repeat the procedure above. You can also try the other options in the drop down box. I don't know the options I used anymore, but now it works.
My problem was, that I was to impatient and thought, that anything must be broken. So try this method and I hope it works.
I found this solution in the german forum www.ppc-welt.info (direct link for all german speaking people: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=133565)

Firmware I5800XXJPA - Discussion Thread :)

LATEST FIRMWARE:
I5800XXJPA for I5800 EUROPE (November 2010) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)
Please feel free to discuss about JPA firmware
Ciao
Just installed and restoring my apps. No bugs found yet.....
Compared to JP8 (the firmware I was using befor):
- Standard SMS is fully functional, but because of the beter groups sms functionality I will use Handcent again.
- Video (tested with an Divx file) is working again.
- Less lagtime.
But sill no good flash player....
Quite stable firmware. Most likely the official release coming soon.
Some bugs,
- the application file size displayed as number without the respective "Mb" or "Kb" unit. Ex. 4 megabytes displayed as "4".
- proximity sensor not working. When phone lifted off the ear, the screen display won't resumed back to dial pad. Probably not the sensor but some setting to be corrected.
- GPS still need small adjustment
- Powering off still take quite some time
- At times, the phone will be sluggish for no obvious reason ( but not common)
- 2.2 JIT built-into this release? Seems like not much speed improvement. I get an initialisation failed when i do adb shell dalvikvm -help
I am about to upgrade this on my i5801 (Asia), any suggestions? Please?
Last time I upgraded with I5800XXJP9 ## and used it, then after a restart my phone never started. I again had to install I5801DDJG6 # !
just fully charged my galaxy 3 and after 1h doing nothing with phone my battery have only 80%
I have some bugs:
- when somebody is calling the phone freezing, and the network is restarting, and i don't know who called me
- i don't can exit from Contacts, just with the Home button
- the phone don't receive the text messages
before i update to I5800XXJPA not hard reset the phone maybe this make the problems maybe not, i don't know
/Sorry my bad English/
Installed JPA. No problems found.

any suggestion for gpsfix of this jpa firmware?
the only way is rooting (with superoneclick, z4root and others didn't seem to work) and then use fasterfix ?
i have also a galaxy s and I used SGS tools to fix that (plus lbstestmode). does it work on galaxy 3 ?
thanks
ps: jpa is a good fw in my opinion

JPA works fine until now. 2 hours of testing. No wifi drop error, no freezing.
No GPS though..
I'm exactly in your position, got an SGS too, so if u find out anything pls send a PM.
Thanks.
If you are in the europe region, most likely you don't have to fix the gps.conf. Just run the gpssetup2 and finetune some of the parameters. Else, you have to get rooted and use fasterfix or edit gps.conf manually.
Not too sure about the SGS tools.

I noticed a very critical issue with this JPA release. The phone will become unstable or hang when loading more memory intense apps. For example, i tried loading a trace.txt file, after exit, the phone became sluggish and not responsive.
If you are normal usage, probably not a concern.
try hard reset again. I encountered this before, after hard reset, set the APN entry right, it will be alright.

You got any idea how to finetune it ?
i tried
Dail: *#*#3214789650#*#* --> settings --> Parameter Settings --> SSL --> I disabled it and changed it to Google Server. After that I changed Start mode to "Cold Start" and restarted the device.
Again dialed *#*#3214789650#*#* --> Commands --> Get positions, and wait 30 sec for an fix.
Back to settings --> Parameter Settings --> Start mode --> and changed it back to Hot Start. Restart device again.
i installed GPS Test and it got connected to satellites but is the a navigation software i can use ? I have iGO Amigo in my SGS 800*480, but on 400*240 i didn't find anything.

Yes I did change with this secret code, but I must switch off and on the phone with enabled GPS - then it works fine. But it takes time to switch off and on the phone. Any suggestions ? I've tryed also OCTY application and others.
One day after installed:
battery at 80%
problem on restoring apps from Titanium backup
sms works ok
wifi works ok
good speed
gps buggy like always

Can anyone confirm that proximity sensor still sucks? I mean sittuation when we finish call...

Hi, i use Ndrive, it is good on my opinion. Almost a perfect replacement for the iGo.

help, i flashed arhd 6.5.1 on my xe sensation

Everything went fine. Except that I don't hear any boot sounds ,, I also did restore to factory settings, now I lost the beats audio boot up, htc quietly brilliant is still existing though but without sound. Could anyone help me on this? I'm just new here, that's why I couldn't post on mike's arhd thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated ^^,
im also running ARHD and dont have a boot sound.. I guess there is no boot sound included in the ROM everything works flawlessly.
dont panic.
If you really want the boot sound, download the attached .rar file, extract it and place the "android_audio.mp3" in System/Customize/Resource.
there is no bootsound on arhd
thanks for the help, it's fixed now but I have another problem.
My WiFi Signal is not reading correctly, its stating 1 bar on mu notification bar, but on the wifi options its full bar. There's no direct impact on my internet speed, but I'm wondering why its reading incorrectly, but when I restart my phone its reading correctly for the first 5 mins then it will stay at 1 bar again.

did u flash leedroid tweaks or any other stuff?
Nope, this is my very first ROm
I only followed all the instructions provided to flash this Rom, I haven't attempted to flash other stuffs yet. Though the signal meter problem is pretty random , sometimes its not reading correctly, sometimes it does, even though in like 3 steps away from the wifi router.
Google Maps is Missing in my ROM
Google Maps is Missing in my ROM, Im currently on ARHD 6.5.1 XE. I can't seem to Find Google Maps, I can only see Locations. I looked on Playstore cant find it either.

Google Maps is called "Maps", may you just searched for the wrong App Name.
You can look in ES file browser, after check the boxes in Options to for root partitons, if in data/data the folder com.google.android.apps.maps exists,
if it is not there, Maps is not installed currently.

No sync after radio update

My adventures with the HTC One S just dont seem to end. Here is a short history:
First thing I did when I got the phone was flash over CM9 as I dont like Sense
All was good until the home button issue popped up, this was at that time my only issue and sync worked just fine
I flashed over CM10 when it was stable enough, this didnt fix the home button issue though
I then flashed over the new RUU with radio 2.21 and directly after that CM10 again (I still dont like Sense)
After the first flash I had a lot of grey signal bars (either bad signal or no connection with Google servers) so I flashed CM10 again.
The signal bars where blue after that and the new radio (2.21) has improved the signal a lot and therefor minimizing the home button issue
But since the new radio I'm experiencing a new problem, just as much annoying. My phone wont sync when the screen is off or wont sync at all unless I do it manually.
This is what I have tried so far:
First cleaned cache from Gmail, Google Services Framework and Market -> no fix
Rebooted the phone with airplane mode on and enabling data connection afterwards -> no fix
Factory reset from recovery, flash CM10 again and restore apps with TB -> no fix
Factory reset from recovery, flash CM10 again and no restore of apps but just vanilla CM10 -> no fix
I have ran out of options so I could use some help here. Why are emails not pushed to my phone when the screen is off?
I had all kinds of sync issues with that radio until I flashed Trickdroid 7.1 which is built off the base which included that radio. Can't figure out how, but it's like they work best together though my best guess is that TD just maintains more free memory, so whatever process syncs the phone doesn't get killed. You can even desense TD as part of the tweak pack if you want to try it

Hmmm ... thanx for this info. I hoped the problem was not related to the radio and I missed something stupid. When I have some time I'll make a nandroid backup of CM10 and will give Trickdroid 7.1 a go, see if it fixes things.
Another solution I was thinking of was buying Tasker and schedule a sync job. When set up right it might even save me some battery juice.

I tried Trickdroid 7.1 today but spent no longer then 5 minutes on this ROM. Although I selected all options of going back to stock and removing anything related to Sense in the Trickdroid Tweaks it was no where near the AOSP feeling I like best. So I didnt like Trickdroid at all.
Didnt properly test the syncing but in the one test I did I received my email instantly. So I guess there is indeed a problem with the new radio and CM10. I'll report this in the CM10 support thread.

Hi all,
For Signal, Small arrows do not exist but the gray or blue signal color indicates that the data connection works
no HotSpot, the data connection is initialized but can not have an IP.
4ext says that i need root, but couple second after that message, i get in recovery, and it shows me Backups
:silly::silly:
Has anyone else had a problem with the ROM restarting everytime an app crashes? Also, tried everything I can think with the battery. Is there another solution for the irregularity issues(turn on -> 99%, turn off - turn on -> 7%, turn off - turn on -> 33%, turn off - turn on -> 72%, turn off - etc)? I've tried reseting the battery stats, draining it and fully charging it countless times, charging it without the phone(in a dock).
Thanks
Wi fi connection issues
I have noticed some random problems in connecting to wi-fi. I had to reboot my phone in one instance to get it to connect to a wi-fi access point. Other than that, I have not experienced any major problems on 10.2. I'm currently using the Aug 21 build of android1234567's ROM. I'm very impressed, so far...

Please delete. Put this in Q/A
Ok. Updated to latest release(battery still funny so going to order one on payday). Email app opens but doesn't go past sync for Hotmail or live accounts. .
Thanks
