Signal Problems - HTC Sensation

I have had signal problems with my 3g network lately, my signal displays 5 bars with an "R" above, and my network shows an "E" all the time.
Youtube seems to be slow, the browser is a little slow aswell - noone of this happens on wifi. I have checked the backcover and all the goldcontacts for problems, noone of them seems to be broken maybe a little worn though (the ones on the backcover).
I'm running the newest ViperS rom, could this be the problem? My browser and youtube is fine when I use WIFI, I can't open the Sim Toolkit app, I have no problems with network on my desire.
My calls are fine I can hear people and they can hear me. It only seems to be the network affected.

You can try and change your radio and ril and see if a different radio will help the signal. You will have to experiment a bit to see what's most effective. You can start with generic ics radios and rils. This might solve your issue

Well I flashed a ril and radio which didn't seem to fix the problem, then I flashed a CM10 rom which did fix the problem.. it seems like I am forced to turn my back on ViperS Damn this phone. I loved the rom though.
Thanks for your help though

Strange case.
Can not really believe that the rom is causing the problem...

In any case glad you got your issue fixed

Well I can't believe it either, but it have to be the rom, because I hadn't installed any apps that could have affected the connection, and I didn't have sync turned on and the connection have been fine before I flashed ViperS. I'm not s-off tho so it might be due to that..

If you're not s-off then you didn't flash a new radio like you think you did earlier. So that might still be a fix for you.
You can also try a full wipe and clean install of Viper and see if the problem replicates itself. It's not only possible, but very possible, that something got goofed up in your previous set up that hurt the signal strength. Starting over with a fresh flash of Viper could easily solve it. It' snot guarenteed, but it's very possible to work.

Well, I'm not S-OFF and I have decided not to do it so far. Viper worked fine with 3g at the start, but then it managed to screw up. I have decided to only run cm9/10 and aosp roms so far, I will most likely change to a sense rom later.

[Q] why wait after flashing radio

it was mentioned to wait 24-48hrs after flashing a radio to see effects of battery life, radio signal, etc... but i have yet come across the reason.
i just reflashed the same coredroid + suggested radio/RIL after something wrong happening to my phone. however i noticed before i had full bars of signal and now i am down to 1 or two bars.
is that because the flash was just complete?

The reason is because the effects of a radio change aren't necessarily going to be so drastic that you'll be able to tell after five minutes. If they are drastic in a bad way, it may be because you have a mismatched RIL, need another reboot, other types of little adjustments to get the radio going....They take time to settle in.
And the difference in battery will probably be even more subtle.
Let it "smooth out," then you can better gauge whether it was an improvement or not.
For your low bars issue, try reflashing the radio, sometimes a double flash of the same radio has been known to help. Reboot twice. Same thing... Another "voodoo" radio fix.
Like I also said above, make sure you have the right RIL for your ROM/radio.
And it's not because of an "incomplete radio flash." It either flashes completely, fails to even start the flash, or if you have really bad luck, your phone bricks.

Now... that's what I call scary eeks!
I 100% recommend the double flashing of radios. In two separate occasions i've had problems with download an upload speeds and NOTHING seemed to fix the problem except for reflashing the radio. I tried flashing different radios, rils, roms and only flashing the same radio twice fixed my speed problems.
I'm no expert in any of this nor can I guarantee the same results but it's also something to keep in mind besides the settling of your radio for a couple of days.

Kernel Change Not Fixing ARHD 3.6.5 Battery Drain, Any Other Ideas?

I've been following the battery drain issue with ARHD, and I've tried changing kernels from the stock Faux, to Faux123 0.2.4.r, Bricked 1.5 and even Bricked 1.4r. None of these has fixed the drain problem for me.
When I look at Battery Monitor Widget, it shows between 100mA to 150mA when the phone is sleeping, so I'm pretty sure this is where the drain is coming from. Is it the rom or a "rogue app?" I turned off wifi, mobile, gps, bluetooth, etc. and the drain stayed at the same level while the phone was sleeping. What can I do to find out what the problem is?

yup am in a similar boat, would love to know the answer
Do you use facebook etc. How often does is sync? Do you have IM programs running such as Meebo or anything of that nature? What is your brightness at (hopefully not Auto). Does your radio get good signal (Menu > Settings > About > Battery > Battery Use > Click picture of battery drainage up top and is the phone signal section green, etc)
There are many things that can factor into this.
I do not use facebook, I have sync turned off, and I also have wifi, mobile, gps, and bluetooth off. For brightness I use the dimmer app, so it is on its lowest setting. Taking your advice, I looked at my radio signal, and using the recommended radio for ARHD, it showed the radio was not green but grey.
So I reflashed the radio to the one in your signature, and now that bar is yellow. I'll monitor this and let you know if this fixes the problem. Is the radio supposed to be green? Is there another radio I should try if this doesn't work?

Make sure you flash the matching RIL files to match the radio (when you do this in Clockwork Mod or 4Ext mount /system first before flashing the zip) to give best radio signal.
Green means you are getting good signal, yellow means decent, red is awful. Grey I honestly have no clue.
Different radios give different results for different people. I am not sure where you live to know the best radio to suggest but any changes make sure you match the RILs for that radio.
@ Kohr-Ah
where do you get the matching RIL's from ?
say I tried a different radio on my phone, just to try to get a decent usage from my battery, where does the RIL come into the equation ? what exactly is a RIL and what doe it do ?
Oh, I'm in the UK so if you have a good radio suggestion that I could use on the O2 network, feel free to let me know
Same here, sometimes it gets as low as 40mA but just stay like that for 2 minutes then it's back at between 90-180mA in sleep mode. I'm on ARHD 3.6.5 with Bricked 1.5... Stock gave me about 2 1/2 day of normal use, now I'm down at about 10-12h... Seems to me it's a ARHD problem and not Kernel cause I tried a few Kernels as well.
How about giving the stock kernel a try? Along with what everyone else is saying of course.

Matching RILS (Just match to the radio you just installed)
MUST MOUNT /SYSTEM before you flash. Otherwise they don't install.

That explains what the Radio Interface Layer is and does. Basically communicated the radio portion and telephony portion of your phone (if you don't want to read a techinical site)
Thank you so much for your help so far. I'm on Tmobile in the USA, what radio would you suggest for that, and where do I get the RIL files from?

I've had a good experience so far (in terms of both battery life and data reception) with the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M radio and HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ. I tried the XE radio before that (10.15.9035.02_2 and HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ), and it was also pretty good, but it seems like battery life and data reception is a bit better with the first radio+ril I pointed out.

Cause stock can't record calls... But I'll try that for test purposes and post the result here. I'm also going to try a different radio and perhaps a different ROM (maybe both Stock and cooked).
I installed Faux 014 last night and it worked really good (50-55mA in sleep) until I sent a text, after that it was back to "fake' sleep mode with 90-180mA. I guess this can still be Radio, ROM or Kernel... The search continues.

Click the word faux in my signature. That gives you 0.24 final. 014 is ooooolllddd

I have the same problem with both faux as bricked kernels. I never had this problem until I recently upgraded the ROM.
In sleep mode it takes about 6% battery per hour, with background sync off this is reduced to 4 - 5%. I usually lost about 1% and 2% max when it was sleeping. Didnt install anything new... And this is on my Anker 1900mAh battery. I really dont want to know how fast it will burn through my stock battery

Are you using the stock kernel that came with your Rom? If so try the one in my sig (click the name) and set OC Daemon to Bypass 192000/1560000 Intellidemand. See how that does.

Ok, I'll wait 3 charges and report back. During say when you first flash a new kernel, have you looked at the battery monitor app to see the drain? Like I've been saying, when the phone is asleep its draining over 100mA when this should be around 20mA or so. What could be the cause?

[Q] [SOLVED] Random shutdowns / turning off.

Hey guys,
The topic of this thread has change slightly since I started it. Please disregard the first few posts after this one.
The problem is that when I install a new ROM, it works perfectly for an hour or perhaps even the day, and then I start getting random shutdowns. These seem to start out of the blue and I cant work it out.
When installing a new ROM, I always check the MD5 and perform a superwipe before starting to use the ROM. Ill put back a few apps using titanium backup pro.
I don't use any hacked apps or task killers.
I have searched but cant find anything useful.
Currently using Insertcoin Sense 4 RC5. Firmware 3.32.
I have tried three different kernals (Bricked, Sebastian and RCMix), all with the same problem.
Update: tjamaican has kindly sent me a fix he found of the forums, its for a battery fix that worked for me on insertcoin's ICS Sense 4 RC4.1 ROM. However I have just moved to RC5 and the problem is back even with the fix.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2a8837bcatym1ju
I am going to try and set a lower CPU level, already down to 1.2 Ghz with max screen off at ~500Mhz. Seems stable for now, been running 24hrs - no restarts.
This is interesting because I had a GB Rom running at 1.5Ghz with no problems, maybe its something to do with ICS.
Any ideas?
[SOLVED]
Sent the phone off to htc and they have replaced the motherboard. Its all fine and dandy now!
They dont know why it happened or how to avoid it in the future...useful, but if you're still in warranty then send it off, it took exactly a week to get back to me (Monday to Monday). Good luck!

Well no need for factory reset. Superwipe? Yes.
What roms cause this?
What firmware is ur senny on? Ex: 1.17? 3.24?
Phone have physical damage?
Has it been wet?

Thanks for your reply.
No, the phone is basically new, but as I said this has happened before.
Running this ROM on 3.24:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683
But this does happen on other ROMS too, they work perfectly for a while and then slowly begin to develop problems. At this stage I usually install the latest version of the ROM but I'm actually happy with the ROM at the moment and dont want to have to keep changing it!
I've been running Darkforest ROM since early stages and have had no problems so far. Maybe try that one. It's on v 5.1.5 now and it's very fast and very stable, moreso than many other ROMs i've tried.
Could be a defective device possibly? Are u using the kernel that comes with the rom?

Could possibly be an app try removing all your apps and install 1 by 1 give it a couple of weeks see if it happens again, I got a problem from juice defender pro (payed for) worked alright for few days then my launcher started force closing all the time took me ages to figure it out but got there by removing all my apps and installing them 1 by 1 long and time staking but worth a try

its not a problem, its with network connection
I've had this problem since ages and couldn't fix it yet. First thing, download LTE switch and change the value from wcdma preferred to gsm auto. see if it avoids the restarts. Another thing you can try is, change the sim card (I havent tried it yet). Or, if possible, change the back cover. But I'm pretty pretty sure its the problem with the network.

Could be a kernel issue. I tried flashing faux AOSP kernel which might have caused it, as my wifi doesn't work either. Will try reflashing previous kernel later as battery is to low now.
I was running Inquisition 4.0.1 too and I didn't had this problem with WiFi. The only problem that I had and I have is that when I am connected to a WiFi and I turn off the screen the connection is lost and I have to reconnect but I think that this is a general problem of the Sensation. Isn't it?

I'll chip in my 2¢ and say that I do have the same issue, running Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2. That said, I keep VI as so far it's the best Sense-less ROM I've used, and I simply keep wifi off; I cannot say for certain if the wifi issue is a Virtuous thing or not, but I have *not* noticed it when playing with other ROMs.

Hi! I'm using VI 4.0.1 for 3 months now with Socali's underclocked kernel. Didn't have any problems with WiFi or with WiFi hotspot. As the guys said you should try reflashing the ROM or a different kernel.
It's worth trying to fix it, VI being a very nice, fast and reliable ROM.

As much as I've played with prepackaged ROMs, I haven't done much playing with kernels yet... I may try another one (if I'm feeling bold), or just continue to live with WiFi off unless I need it.
It's definitely not just a "reflash the ROM" thing, as I've done that a number of times on two different Sensations...

try this.
a piece of cardboard or a toothpick between your battery post.
as you can see on the picture.
perhaps there is not enough clearance between your battery and the connection points.

not that I know
I would take a good look here at the xda forum
Are you over or under clocked ? Sometimes if your under clocked if it's too much the device will shut down randomly. Is it possible that that's what is happening? If you Are under volted change CPU back and see if the reboots after that. Under bolting is another reason that the device would reboot if its not battery related. If your not undervalued do an experiment and try a different Rom and see if the device is still rebooting.

im on stock rom. just rooted only. flashed back to stock after theres problem with other roms as well
Mine has been doing this for about a week now. Something is draining the power from the battery and making it shut down. Flashed ARHD ROM again and still doing it. I'll try the firmware next. Where can I change the clock speed at.

You can get a app called set CPU in store and adjust settings that way if you like. Hope this helps.
