strange problem i have never been able to find a solution for - HTC Sensation

so, i have actually made a lot of reading and i have never been able to find anything. I may be looking on the wrong direction, but here i go trying to describe my problem.
after actually months of trying to replicate the problem, i have done it. It only happens when i get a notification, actually, it only happens when i get a sms notification. the notification bar just freezes, and becomes transparent? i know it sounds weird, but it does, if i do the gesture to pull i down the screen becomes unresponsive because the notification bar is down, and if i do the gesture to pull it back up it, the screen works again.
also when it happens, like i say, the screen works, but if i try to reply to the message, everything i write does not get written down.
and after a while, the notification bar either disappears, or just stays there frozen, and the wallpaper changes to whatever default wallpaper the rom comes with.
it has happened with almost every jelly bean rom i have ever tried.
here is my phone as it stands now:
rom: jelybam_pyramid_jb-paokp10-3.3.0-20121229
kernel: 3.0.53-g099c572 [email protected] #1
if anything else you would like to know, let me know. in advance, thank you for any help :good:

Quite unstable? Quite incorrect.
I've been using JB ROMs for months and have never experienced your problem. I can pm you the link to some more JB ROMs if you'd like.

Did you try Bruce's ROM or the official CM10 nightly? Those are the most stable.

[Q] Please help me identify this icon...

It's the one to the left of the wifi signal.
It appeared after I installed Insert Coin.

Hearing aid icon....
You must have had the hearing aid option ticked before flashing. You can check to see if that setting exists in that rom or not, I am not sure. You'll have to speak to the dev or someone in the thread to see how to get it off if the setting isn't there.

I bet your right. I did have that enabled on the stock rom. I do not see it in the settings now.
I wish I could get rid of it.
Hearing aid...most people enable that have issues with the sound being low

Ok, this is driving me crazy.
There is no option to disable "Hearing Aid" in the Insert Coin Rom.
Here is what I have done so far trying to get rid of the icon:
Installed Revolution HD, Flashed " Superwipe" etc. The icon showed back up after initial boot.
I then restored a nandroid of the stock rom, when to settings-call and unchecked the hearing aid option.
Next, I did superwipe again and did a fresh install of Android Revolution HD 1.18 and the icon is back.
Any suggestions?

Did you do a titanium restore to restore your settings as well as apps? If you restored the system settings, you could have restored the hearing aid setting inadvertently.
Try another rom first. I used both virtuous and now running leedroid. I still have the hearing aid options checked but they removed the icon. I see it flashing on and off. Anyone using your rom have the same issue?
Yep. Same issue which I previously thought wasn't a issue. Just thought it was related to something else as ROM has been the only stable one by far.

Weird, I read somewhere that certain devs removed that dreaded ear icon lol. I ran both virtuous and leedroid and I know for a fact that the hearing aid option is still on. Not sure what else one can do, sorry.
What version of virtuous where you on? Last one I tried was 1.3

Not that I'm aware of. It doesn't matter which rom that I install, how many times I wipe or super-wipe, it has always returned.
I seemed to have gotten rid of mine. I restored to stock ROM, shut it off, then super wiped and installed Android revolution. And its been gone so far.

I've been wondering how to get rid of this icon as well. Nothing I've done seems to get rid of it. I'm using Android Revolution 3.0 and everytime i do a boot the icon comes back. I did disable the hearing aid icon before I installed the ROM.
I wish one of the devs would chime in on this issue. I wonder if they are aware of it?
Did you try to disable Google backup before wiping and while setting up the new ROM.

ViperS Rom

Sense 4.0 keeps crashing, and I can't do anything
I am S-off and hboot 1.27.000
//Ignore quoted text, it was the OP
Hi,
I have just installed the ViperS rom v1.1.0.. well when I say just, I mean about 2 hours ago.
Its still busy booting... at the screen where it says HTC Sense and then animates to HTC Sensation with the snake that moves out, and also has the beatsaudio logo.
is it supposed to take this long?
I used most of the default settings when installing, apart from removing a few apps, ie twiiter, flckr, etc.
Also changed the GPS fix to South Africa, as that is where I'm from.
Thanx

hmm ok, so eventually got the rom working...
however sense 4.0 keeps crashing... so I cant do anything.
Any suggestions?
I was using viper and my device kept freezing. I kept having to pull battery to get it to un freeze. The older version never done that. Perhaps it's the Rom It's self? Many people use viper without issue, but for me it continued to freeze. I did fresh install, wiped, on newest firmware, just can't figure out what's causing it? Last version ran wonderfully! This version had to pull battery around 5 times a day to un freeze .....

I am going to flash the older version now v1.0.1, to see if my problems are sorted.
Do you know if I need to change my kernel or anything for mine to work?
is it just me or is the aroma installer buggy?
No it should work fine with default kernel. It's bricked. Never had a problem with older version. Ran like a dream! Just new updated version brings issues...

hmmm flashed older version now and still does the same... sense 4.0 perma crash
the sens4 crash might be a firmware issue. Or it may happen if you did not do a full wipe.
Strange because older version was solid .but the new version I can't use. Too many issues with freezing. Have you tried the new ROM lightning? It's also sense4 and seems fast and smooth and has tweaks and aroma installer.? I'm trying it out now. Seems good and solid.

i ever used viper rom older version
but when i tried to connect to my office's wifi, when the wifi ask identity and password, the place for input the identity and password is keep disappear.
i don't know where is the problem, and i never post it in the developer section, because my post is not enough yet hehehe
After flashing 1.2.1 (and .0) as well, I can record 1080p videos only in default app.
Dailyroads and blackbox (recording video in case of car accident) are not working - recording just crashes. Performed full wipe. Anybody has similar problem?

Mobile network on Non-Sense Roms

Hello, I'm having a problem with the mobile network on aosp , cm9/10, miui, and aokp ROMs. The Hspda comes and goes as soon as I try to use the phone. It's really starting to annoy me because the only roms I can use without this problem are sense roms.

Weak WiFi on jb ROMs?

I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.

Navigation crashing on jellybean roms

Is this something that can't be fixed? I've tried different roms, complete wipes, everything.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Its actually a problem with jelly bean.
I've looked for a fix but couldn't find any we just have to wait until Google fixes the app
There is a quick fix all you have to do is click on the compass on the top left hand corner, it will change the navigation from 3D to 2D but locked facing north
Its not the best solution but at least it stops from freezing all the time
I hope I helped

It seems that the problem is only on some phones. People claim it us a Google issue but I doubt it. The reports I have seen seem to be on Sense. However I have been unable to determine for sure whether it is only Sense custom ROMs or also stock.
It seems to be a google issue for many phones on 4.1.1. It is a GS issue that they have to fix in the app itself.

I'm so happy for you, but your experience is worthless considering the number who have reported problems.
No need to be rude. Most of the issues happen during the set up of the Rom. You have to allow apps access. Just because he or myself have never experienced this issue doesn't mean we are open for attack.

No, his post is not worthless. I too have never had this issue across a few different JB ROMs. So yes, its a known issue, but its not "just because its JB" like some have been claiming. There is something else going on besides just being on JB (and "waiting" for Google to fix it), and that was kitten's point.

Waze seems to do the trick, but if you trying different ROMs, be sure to delete the waze folder on your SDCard in between installs or it will FC constantly for some reason.
I'm having the same issue with Google Nav not working. Currently using CarbonROM 1.7 4.2.2 AOSP. Phone is S-OFF on 2.14 hboot. Can't wait until someone figures this one out.
Someone reported that their nav works now on a sense 5 Rom 4.1.2 Magio Rom. Maybe for the affected users(including myself) this is behind us now.
