hi
i upgraded my phone to another ROM and also upgrade to higher firmware, everything works great except the speaker(the small one that is closer to the ear) i tried to change to other roms and also tried to use different radio version but it still doesn't work.
if i plug an earphone or i push the loud speaker than i do hear the conversation but when nothing is plugged and i want to use the default speaker so there are no sound at all
what should i check?
where can be the problem?
thanks!!!
First have you tried downloading the firmware again? Could be something with the download.you said you have tried different roms and the issue still persists? Some roms I've noticed make my volume lower than others. Have you tried viper Rom? My volume is very loud on that Rom. If the issue still persists then I would guess it's a problem with the device its self. Perhaps take it for repair in a local shop.or send it and use warentee. Try downloading firmware again? I wish I knew of a better fix but I don't. And if the problem persists on several different roms, then my guess would be its device related. Sometimes for issues your better off finding a local repair shop, they usually repair same day and you don't have to send your device away. My local shop has fairly reasonable prices for repair. I'd look into that if no one else knows of a fix ...I hope this helps and best wishes to you! But do first try a fresh download of the firmware incase the first download was corrupted some how. Make sure it's a new download don't use the old one. Then try the different roms, if it still persists take for repair.

still doesn't work
I tried installing again the firmware and the viper ROM but the results are the same.
I also disassembled the phone and checked the vibrator engine and the speaker and they both work (I took a AA battery and wired it to the vibrator and it rotats and the speaker make noise, so the hardware is o.k)
I took it to the nearest shop and they also dont know what is the issue about.
everything worked fine before i upgeated the firmware and tryed different roms.
what else should i try?
maybe i should to downgrade the firmware? how should it be done?
no
why no one answer?
is there any problem in my post?????????
Hi I suppose you could try to downgrade the firmware but ics must be ran on 3.2 or 3.33 .to change your firmware you would do the exact same procedure as when you upgraded it. So to change to 3.32 from 3.33 you put the pg58img file at root of sd card. Boot into bootloader by pulling battery insert battery and then press volume down and power at the same time. The device will recognize the file and Ask to continue, press power for yes . Remember once it's up loaded to remove the pg58img file from sd card or device will continue to try to update in bootloader. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

This is doing my head in to the point I have borrowed a new HTC Sensation only to find the problem exists on this phone also.
When using the Camera App If I hit the power button the screen turns off. I am then unable to switch the screen back on - It appears the phone crashes.
Behaviour some times differs depending whether I have taken a photo or not.
The following behaviour is observed:
The lights stay illuminate on the soft keys at the bottom of the screen.
The phone can receive calls how ever it doesn't ring and I unable to answer them.
This problem is confirmed on 2 seperate devices which have been flashed with:
Android Revolution HD 3.6.12
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio
I have also run super wipe on the phone before installing the HD Rom.
Please help!?
Ive also had this problem on a few diffrent roms.
But i flashed amaze camara update, and not had any prob since.
Im now running the latest ICS with sense, with what ever camara software came with the rom. And not had any problem

Having the same issues on both mine and my wives phones, both running AR 3.6.11 along with lag and other issues! Pretty fed up - and considering a different ROM. How is the ICS ROM, any issues like the 3.6.11? Is it hard to install?
I would try Elegancia ICS. Maybe a little pain to install, if you need to update your firmware.

You may have to superCID if the firware dont work. Also easy todo
See post 4

Have a read of the last 10 pages or so of the ICS thread for superCID info if your stuck, but it is easy.
I will give it a try! Do you just download the zip firmware and flash it?
It's not a rom problem, it is faux's kernel problem.
You can flash bricked kernel to solve.

Put the img zip directly on the SD card, not in any folder.
Boot the phone in to bootloader Power on volume down same time.
Just follow the instructions.
DO NOT POWER OFF REMOVE BATTERY ETC.
You will have to remove file from memory card before rebooting.
If you fail with the upload, then you will have to superCID
My Htc sensation 4g is rooted and i have a Rom on it. I have been using it for a while now. But just recently i wanted a new ROM and i saw an ICS one. I read that i needed to update the firmware first before installing the ROM. I tried to install the firmware via H-BOOT but i dont think it worked and so i flashed the ROM and it wouldnt boot. I went back into recovery so i could restore to the previous ROM and it worked but one thing changed and that was on the H-BOOT and it said ****LOCKED****. Everything was fine until i tried to fix it and so i tried to fix it by downloading the firmware again and try to update it again. When i did this it seemed to update fine. Then i rebooted my phone as it prompted and then all of the suuden it turned off and i tried to turn it back on but it wouldnt work. It has not been able to turn on sense then. Even when i plug it up the charger it still doesnt do anything. PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!! Comment below with suggestions.

well,, sorry to say,
but that seems a brick.
make sure your battery is full
try to
pull battery - boot. if that doesnt work
pull battery - hold down volume down and power, if that doesnt work,
then its probebly bricked..
the only thing that can fix that is returning it to HTC
simply tell them you had a OTA and when it was done it wouldnt boot up again.
dont say it was rooted or you know the site XDA
dont say you had hacked software on it
Im currently in the middle of uploading a video to youtube to try and show the issue but its like my phone is possessed, i actually bought the phone from a recycle place so I have a 60 days warranty with the phone but I was wondering is there a diagnostic or service mode I can get into on the handset to see if any faults are found
One thing is I thought I was getting an Orange handset which I would have thought would have had some branding on but it didnt and it also didnt have any orange bloatware on but not sure if they do or not on Orange UK handsets? even though i've supercid would it matter if it wasnt an Orange one that I used the orange firmware for 3.32?
It seemed fine when it arrived yesterday on 2.3.4 GB rom but since changing to ICS nothing but bother

Had this problem with Darkforest 6.0.0 and also ARHD 6.5.1 and currently virtuous s4x b3 which has been the worst of the lot and the one in the video
Ok so I flashed back 1.17 firmware and restored a back up of my GB 2.3.4 rom and its working perfectly so my guess is my phone for some reason doesnt like firmware 3.32? which means im going to be pretty much stuck on GB?
Hey, it looks like a sense 4 rom that is running in the video? All those roms are ported from another device.. I'd recommend to try stock ICS with the new firmware, see if that works any better than the ported roms
Ive tried 2 3.6 roms too and they did the same, used the newest firmware

Sorry yeah i am and thanks, just not sure which tests i should be looking at, anyway im now on virtuous_inquisition v4.0.0 but using firmware 3.24 its had one little hissy fit which seems to have gone away when i restarted, also when it starts acting usual screen of and on seems to sort it, its just odd it works perfectly in GB which makes me think its software and not hardware issues?
Just to confirm im doing everything right, was it ok to jump from firmware 1.17 on GB straight to 3.32 for ICS with 3.6?
Method im doing
flash firmware in hboot, pull battery delete the PG58IMG file, put battery back in boot into recovery, full wipe in ext4, then run the superwipe script and then install rom, everything seems to go ok until I begin having the issues as shown above in the video clip, I know that was a sense 4 rom but its done the same in 3 sense 3.6 roms now
Did you tried to flash a stock kernel? Not OC'ed? My bet if every ROM does the same, that there is an issue with the hardware.

Hi
I havent as yet, however when I first had problems on darkforest I did try with the 1.2ghz option during flash.
Any recommendations on which to try? So far it seems on on v inquisition v4
Seems to have been ok then this morning I put the phone on charge as it was about 20% remaining, left it charging went back 30mins later or so to check it and it wouldnt wake, not sure if this is a common issue or if its related to the previous problems ive been having?
Ive requested a return from the place I bought it so will see, ill have to make sure I can get it back to how it was, fortunately I have a backup, but ill have to read up on the s-on procedure aswell as getting rid of 4ext
gawd this is doing my nut in, just flashed Android Revolution 6.5.1 using the stock 1.2ghz kernal doing the same so I just have no idea now, going to put firmware 1.7 back on and do a nandroid recovery and see how that goes for the next few days, just wondering if anywhere in the rooting + S-off, unlocking or supercid somethings gone wrong that I didnt see, but afaik it all went fine
format sd card, place only the files you will need.. i.e. firmware and your choice of rom.. reboot phone, flash this firmware "Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618.. after you flash the firmware, remove the sdcard while the phone is still on, reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, put the sdcard back in, then flash whatever rom you wish to use, just make sure that it supports the firmware, after flashing the rom, remove the sdcard again and reboot phone.. once the phone is booted, turn on usb drive and remove the firmware that's on the sdcard and see how things go.. if things are still messed up, then go for an exchange as at that point, it may be hardware related...
I don't think it has anything to do with superCID or s-off as I can see that you're able to flash any rom to the device.. same with s-off...

Thanks, ill give it ago! the only bit is where yousay after flashing firmware remove sdcard whilst on, then reboot into recovery. The only option I get is to reboot no option to reboot into recovery?
anyway
flashed insertcoin 5.1.4 so will see
in order to boot into recovery after flashing the firmware, power off the phone, yank the battery and sdcard, then put the battery back in and power on with the usual power down + power button with the sdcard still out. once in recovery, you will notice that recovery counts down until the sdcard is back in so slip the sdcard back in, give it a sec, then choose the zip file you're going to flash.. flash the rom, remove sdcard and boot into rom.. slip the sdcard back in one final time.. once booted, go into the sdcard and remove the firmware so that it doesn't keep wanting to update everytime you reboot...reboot once more to make sure all is setup and see how it goes.. I'm sure there are easier ways of doing this, but this is one method I've tried and all worked fine... hope this helped..

Still the same, flashed back to 1.17 and did nandroid recovery and it works perfectly in GB oh well, the closest Ive had it working on ics was with Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.0. The problem im going to have returning the handset is that it works perfectly as it was sold to me and if I start going on about installing ics roms etc they are likely to refuse a return.
yay!!! think ive cracked it, well not me but at least I think what ive found what the problem was
Spotted this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Thought what the hell, and long story short its worked, not a single issue like before, which leaves me to believe that for whatever reason 4ext recovery wasnt working correctly when flashing firmwares on my phone as when I used it to restore my original backup it worked fine. Installed the rom above that was packaged as a PG58IMG.zip file and it worked great, might try and reinstall clockworkmod and see if that helps as I never actually used it
Fingers crossed its now sorted but so far so good, not a single issue after installing all my apps again
Basically, the GPS on my Sensation wont find any satellites. I tried OpenSensation and ARHD and the GPS doesn't work on either. I read on Google that someone flashed the appropriate RUU for them and reflashed their custom ROM and the GPS started working again. I was going to do the same but was wondering if I flash the T-Mo ICS RUU, will it lock the bootloader? If so, how would I unlock it again? Also, if anyone has any tips to fix the GPS, any help is appreciated.

RUUs are ideally last choices.
Also, I'm assuming you are HTC Dev unlocked (you need to confirm this), if yes, then did you enable smart flash in 4ext recovery before flashing or flash the boot.img manually?
Try performing a full wipe/format before installing the ROM.
If you are S Off, then try installing 3.32 base firmware
If all of the above fail, use my guide to find & flash the correct RUU: www.tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
I am unlocked through revolutionary, I don't know if that is HTC-Dev, but I doubt it. I don't know about smart flash either, what is it? I full wiped and installed 5 different OpenSensation builds and the T-Mo ARHD version with no GPS on either. I also flashed the 3.32 firmware from the official ICS T-Mo firmware. Radio's too, went from 11.69 to 11.72. I want to flash the RUU to reset all the radios, firmware and such. But I am worried the bootloader will get locked down again.
My plan is to flash the RUU, test the GPS, then restore my clockwork backup of my current ROM and go from there. Would it be easier to just flash a Gingerbread RUU?

Here's what happens after flashing the RUU:
You will lose all data (except data on SD Card)
Your bootloader will be locked, but if you're S Off, you will remain S Off (You can get back to Revolutionary bootloader by flashing 3.32 base firmware from firmware thread.)
You will lose custom recovery if custom recovery is installed (this can be re flashed if you are S Off )
You will lose root if you are rooted. (this can be re done)
I recommend you flash the normal 3.32 base firmware from the firmware thread before flashing RUU.
i used to have the same issue as yours...
i tried this fix ..it works for sensation too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12764930&postcount=1
i used method 2 to do that ..method 1 failed for me
but be careful when using dd commands..you need to be extremely careful while typing that
also the fix..messes up your splash screen ..but you can easily flash the splash screen again
I tried the wiping thing, but it didn't work, I'm going to flash the RUU. If it doesn't work, it's borked, I guess.
Nothing, I flashed a Gingerbread RUU and the ICS RUU with no change. I am going to take it to T-Mobile in a few days. Any final, shot in the dark, tips?

Yes. Open up the back cover & check if all antennae are making contact. If not, apply aluminium foil. Take a strip, fold it till it's the right size, but ensure it isn't very thick, just a little more than enough to make contact & not tear.
First of all, Hello.
I don't want to make another GPS topic, so i write it down here. The thing is that i bought a used HTC Sensation XE and everything is working great except the GPS. I have read all the sensation threads about fixing the problems with GPS and i think i tried most of them without any luck.
I installed the free GPS apps from Market (GPS Status, GPS Test and the fix named FasterFix). It just won't find any satellites and that's it.
It wont lock on nothing and it wont find nothing.
* At the beginning when i started FasterFix it showed that the conf. is set to America. I live in Europe. So that really made sense, that if i change it to Europe, then it should work because the conf. is just wrong.
I have tried all kinds of fixes (FasterFix, modifying the gps.conf file), tried the Sensation topic named AGPS patch and flashed the gps fix .zip.
Tried all kinds of gps.conf files and putting the right server names in there Europe, Estonia. Tried the wipe and format and reinstalling Locations.
I didnt want to root the phone and use custom ROM, but nothing seemes to help fixing the GPS problem, so in last option i rooted phone, did the S-OFF and all the stuff so its unlocked and tried custom ROM.s. I was fingers crossed and hoped that the ROM change will magically fix my whatever errors with GPS but nothing. I tried :
* [ROM][Sense 4.1][20.01] Team Venom presents: ViperS 1.6.3
* [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][4.1.2][09 JAN]
Yesterday after i did full wipe and tried the vision wipe fix (Method 1) + Reinstalling Locations. I went outside and started up the GPS, i used AGPS fix configuration file. So i started GPS Status and waited for ~30sec. it magically found 5 sats and after waiting couple minutes or so, it finally locked up and managed to get the right position. I was so happy and thought that i finally fixed it after tried everything in 2 days. So later on that day i went driving with my car and wanted to test the GPS in real. I fired the sucker up and NOTHING. No sats, nothing. And here i am, again searching for help.
I really like this phone and i need to get that god damn GPS working. Please any help is welcome. What else can i try?
Can it really be the GPS unit itself what is defective? Well it found sats and locked up on them yesterday, so i think something has to work but there is some error somewhere.
------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
OOh my god! I managed to FIX my problem! What a relief and of course im telling you how.
My problem was that antenna contacts didn't give a good connection between the housing. I played with the housing and watched the GPS Test software, so if the connection was OK, it automatically detected sats and if i moved the housing again, they disappeared.
I tried the aluminium foil trick and it helped but i didnt much like the idea of some loose foil inside of my phones housing. So i checked up the antenna contacts and tried to figure out what the heck was the problem, because if there was a cap between the housing and phone itself, there was a signal and as soon as i locked the housing to the phone - Baah! nothing, the signal was gone. I opened the housing and took a scalpel. Next i really carefully bended the antenna contacts, so if first they were shaped like "/\" then after the bend they looked like " L ", with that trick applied they now get a good contact with the housing and the GPS is working as it should.
I hope it will help someone, who might have the same problem. The phone is Sensation XE with beats audio.
The easy was is to first try the foil trick, if it helps then you know it's the contacts.
The GPS antenna contacts are located between the camera lens and the battery. At least these contacts worked for me, after the bend.
Hello all,
I have a HTC Sensation XE with beats audio running Cyanogenmod 9.1.0
I've had this ROM for about a week or 2 and had no problems with it but not my phone won't ring, sometimes it will vibrate tho.
I updated to the latest nightly build earlier to see if this would fix it but to no avail.
I have checked all settings and my phone is set to loud with ringing & vibrate.
Even when I go to choose a ringtone it used to preview the tone for me but now it doesn't even do that.
I can play music through the speaker and everything else works fine but the ringtone for calls and texts.
Can anyone please help me, thanks in advance!
Hi there, have you tried doing a FULL wipe and reinstalling the Rom ? Download could have got corrupted somehow. If you do this make it a clean install with full wipe. If that does not work you might be forced to go to another Rom. You might want to flash another Rom just to make sure phone will ring with that. Just to check. If it's not ringing with another Rom its a different issue within the device itself. If it does ring with different Rom it's likely related to the Rom you flashed. Do some experiments and see what this stems from. Rom or device. If its Rom related try the clean install. If that won't work as I said you will likely be forced to use a new Rom until the issue is worked out. I hope this helps out. Best wishes

Thanks for your reply!
When you say clean wipe, do you mean super wipe?
When I reinstalled my rom earlier I just did a dalvik wipe using ROM manger to install the rom.
Do I need to do a date wipe also?
