Hi people, since Nova's 3 release, i've been wondering why our Sensation version has no full video effects (like blur, depth of field, hi-res textures and improved shaders...), and another phones like SGS 2, have it. Take a look over Youtube and search S2 gameplay and Sensation gameplay; youll be able to see the difference. Why is it possible? If I use Chainfire 3d I can see the full effect mode, but in certain part of the game (sometimes at first load) game stasrs to turn the screen to black and show glitches and artifacts that ruin the game because they do it unplayable. Anyone has the Sensation and can play nova with full effect?
Rrgsrds!!
on my galaxy tab 7+ the gameplay is like ps3 but on sensation it is like nova 1
how did you get it to play? it refuses to download on my sensation because "it is not compatible"

I just bought it on Play Store. I'm using ICS AOSP (sense based) ROM - Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2.
Anyone else have tried it and want to conplain? We can write emails to Gameloft. It's not too fair paying 6 euros by a low end version.

Here same as you. Probably its due to Adreno 22x processor architecture or something like that, because the HTC One S has this problem too. But the matter is... Its likely that Gameloft fixes the One S problem soon, but Im afraid the HTC Sensation won't be that lucky. Gameloft develop a low version for the Sensa and avoid working on it because it isnt new like the HTC One s. Bussiness matters...
What do u think guys?
ya i play nova 3 on my htc sensation with full effect
I play N.O.V.A. 3 without put Chainfire 3d , and the game i perfect with full effects . I'm with Elegancia Sens 4 v.2.2.0 and everithinh is perfect , it's fly

After suffering the screen turning black issue, i have had some success. I am running the elegancia sense 3.6, 2.5 rom with the sebastian kernel, and chainfire drivers. I checked the box to hide CF running, and disabled the mapbuffer emu, in the settings and am using the powervr plugin. this is working really well with no issues so far.

If you hide CF, you play the low end stock version of the game for our Sensation, because the game doesn't detect the cf driver, so you are not enabling the advanced effects. The question is... why doesn't gameloft enable the high graphics to the Sensation? It posseses a high end hardware like Adreno 220. Why?

Hey guys, I though we can do some list of known issues in latest 1.45.401.2 HTC official base. It would be good idea if later as many people as possible can report the complete bugs list to HTC so that they hurry up with the update and we'll make sure they are aware of all the issues so that they wont be present (hopefully) in next build.
Confirmed issues:
Broken 3D engine,
Bottom dock edge is not smooth (for all 3 skins),
Language issue: (Polish) In HTC e-mail app after selecting unread message the button "Oznacz jako przeczytane" (Mark as read) have text cut in a half,
LMW.apk is missing by default so we can't use "Make more space" in SD card settings,
The phone doesn't always register first power button click to put the phone on standby. It has to be hit twice for the phone to drop to standby,
Zooming in a picture in gallery and pressing the back button doesn't zoom out to the original level,
Phone is embarrassingly slow and choppy as for Dual-Core 1.2GHz device. Especially scrolling through widgets is very laggy,
Phone is getting warm even when scrolling through the desktops,
Not confirmed issues:
Other things to report:
Still missing correct kernel source for 2.3.4 ROM,
Write you suggestions and propositions of better description to the issues. Also report your language issues like missing translations etc.
Nice post Mike, the RUU has been on shipped ROMs for the past week but my broadband has been down
Had the HTC reps in work a few days ago and got one of the guys to esc the 3D issue to their tech/dev team with a detailed description, hoping for a fix soon

This is very good news Lee, hopefully they wont brake anything else lol. Do you have some suggestions for the list?
Not sure if it's an issue but scrolling in whatsapp conversation is unbelievably choppy and laggy.
Hell even if the GPU wasn't working, the dual core should be able to handle it. But no.
Really weird (My HTC G2 is 10x smoother).

Is there no way for these to be manually updated?
Or would it need a whole new release by HTC?

Yes, you can flash libs from 1.35 base but only with custom kernel. But it's not a fix, just a temporary solution. It must be fixed by HTC.

my phone is still stock, I could not put a permanent root yet, but I think I'll do to better performance.
Coming from PC Graphics if the display is doing that it looks like a fault with the GPU, possible over heating, not making contact with heatsink etc. Perhaps the game is making you phone overheat? I'll have to try the game myself and see if it does it.
Happened since the 2.3.4 update.

Wow seriously? Wtf is up with HTC? They are really dropping the ball with this one.
Mine force closes samurai if I don't have wifi on ever since the 2.3.4 update. I just uninstalled samurai for now until htc fixes the problem. I don't really play games that much so it doesn't bother me. I do watch a lot of movies on my phone, so as long as it plays movies fine, then I am good.
Other games work fine. Gameloft games, battleheart, zombieville. They run on the unity engine, like samurai ii

hi...........
i used many ICS sense 3.6 roms and in all rom i have noticed a lag while playing a 720p video..........and games also have video lag...........
how to solve it ????????
please help
I haven't seen this bug, however I would guess that with the system still being Beta, this has something to do with it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
Yeah it's probably due to the 'beta status' of the ROM's.
You might just have to wait for the final release for it to be fixed.
but even 2 mb games gets stuck on this versions
It could also be to do with the qHd of the screen. I know this sounds rather strange, but if you try using a game such as NinJump, you'll find that the application completely locks up. This is due to some applications not supporting the display and I would certainly double check that this isn't the issue you are experiencing.

For video games, disbale force gpu option in development setting.
It depends what you want, but custom roms tend to be better. You have almost unlimited support and the freedom of being able to switch to and from New features.

Since i flashed the new ARHD 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849) and updated firmware,any other rom i flash, i've got low fps on many games (e.g. fruit ninja, dead space). Only ARHD runs these games flawlessly.
Got any ideas what might be causing that?

I flashed InsertCoin and enabled force gpu rendering as you told me, but it drops frames like before. It should be something else causing that, because low fps on fruit ninja isn't supposed to be even on a stock rom, right?

Insert Coin user here.
I too had the frame rate problem with Fruit Ninja (the paid version). I was curious so I installed the free version of the app, and it didn't seem to have those problems. I think the problem with the paid version is that is hasn't been updated since Feb. 2011, which means that it could just not be compatible with ICS or something to that effect. Ironically, the Free version of the app has been regularly updated, much more frequently than the paid one. Just my observations.
