You having problems with the data signal after making ROOT and S-OFF???

Researching and reading some homeowner concerns of htc sensation, I have observed that a large number of users after making root and s-off a large majority are having problems with the responsiveness of the data signal on the phone, even do not know that usually this problem if the custom ROM or made S-OFF, so if we know the problem is there, if you have the same problem post your complaints here.

people forget to match up radio versions and corresponding rils. i haven't had any issues with the properly matches rils/radios.

Here's what you want, but I tell you that I tried everything and still does not solve this problem, I combined the radio and RIIL and versions anyway and I have not been able to solve this problem

So your still stuck with the same problem as me? Or did you just go back to out of the box stock Rom? I was thinking of just go with the stock, since I've been having problems mainly on signal issues after I flashed arhd and I can't stand having to turn airplane mode on and off everytime to gain signal.

Root and a off don't relate to signal, but what you flash after that does. Easiest solution is to use the same radio and ril combo as was included stock, whichever ROM you're using. Newer radios can give some improvements, but also can cause issues

Meaning the radio that comes with the out of the box stock , radio that comes with the phone when I first got it?

I forget which was the radio I had my phone when I was stock, but I will install the 2 stock rom Asian version and then see what works best for me, my phone is the international version with unlock factory...... HTC Sensation Z710e Asian.

Im starting a thread after my 8 post probation regarding antenna location, I have had a problem with signal since i got this phone. my galaxyS i9000 has 2 bars more always

[Q] Signals Issue - Looking for Reasons and Solution

I am recently shifted from MyTouch4G to Sensation4G and performed all preliminary steps i.e. S-OFF, Rooting and Super CIDing.
While searching for ROMs to flash.. i saw that my device's firmware also needs to be upgraded.. so i did a little search and flashed 3.33 universal from Kohr-Ah's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767)
Now i am facing couple of problems..
1. First i installed DarkForest which required 3.33 however it wasnt booting up so i trashed it and flashed Team Venom's Viper which booted up pretty well and started using it. Anyone can tell me why darkforest wasnt booting up ?
2. I usually dont get very good network reception on ground floor at my home still Mytouch4g never lost signals but since i have moved to Sensation4g, signals' reception is very dodgy on the ground floor.. it comes and goes.. Can anyone help me by suggesting the best radio/ril for my handset or give me couple of suggestions so that i can hit and trial.. PFB my current radio/ril
RIL - 4.0.0037HMQ [2]
RADIO - 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Looking forward for input...

Hi there. With radio and ril it's very difficult to give a recommendation because we all live in different reception areas. But you can start with the generic Ics radios and rils and do some experimenting and see which gives you the best signal. Read the radios carefully and make sure their Ics and for your country. I also upgraded my radio and the generic Ics worked well. Let me give you the link for the radio and rils. Hope this helps out. Best wishes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 scroll down. And you will find the links to radio and rils. After you read.

I don't have a very good reception either. It's much worse than my iPhone. I have tried everything, from changing ROMs to kernels, radios, rils. Nothing changed. So my conclusion was that the Sensation has an awful reception and there is nothing you can do about it. Just live with it

@[OP]
Hi,
"GetRil" from the market may help you to find the best radio/ril combination.

I changed my radio and ril and I have five bars on H reception. It's really good. So no, not everyone has really bad reception. Mines much better than it used to be with new radio and ril. Hopefully you also will get positive results!

Hi,
Use "GetRil" from the market.
It will tell you the best combination for you.
Unless you live in the same place as realsis,then, his combination will not necessarily work on your phone.

anyone?

hi unfortunately i can't suggest a combo for you due to the areas we live in are different but i can help with a place to start. I'm going to send a link for generic ICS radio and rils. on link please read instructions carefully and scroll down then look carefully and you will find the ics radios and rils link. try out a few and see if it helps. i was lucky, the first one i tried worked for me. also keep your old radio number so if you want to return to it you know what it was and can find it. you will flash the ril like a rom, however radio must be flashed differently. place the pg58img file at root of sd card. pull battery, put battery back in, press volume down and power, when it boots into boot loader it will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update. press power for yes. once the update is finished you MUST delete the pg58img file from sd card or in boot loader it will continue to try to update over and over. so make sure you delete it. Hope this helps. here is a link to radios and rils. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
hope this is helpful for you.

[Q] HTC sensation no signal

Hi everyone , i've bought a secondhand HTC sensation recently , then found out it was rooted, it was running under android gingerbread , so i've unrooted it to update to ICS . but since then my signal keeps getting lost . so i rooted the phone again , and got HTC revolution HD , same problem encountered . please someone can help ? TT

Have you tried changing your radio and ril files? Start with the generic ics radio and ril. I'll give you link. Please read the instructions carefully. Also I believe you must be s off to do this. I had signal problems and changed my radio and ril and it's been good ever since. Here is link. Again read instructions carefully.hope this helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

I think so, the phone isn't mine.
I'm sure only that is s-off with hboot 1.27.
I've flashed the latest htc stock version: RUU​_PYRAMID​_ICS​_HTC​_Europe​_3.33​.401​.6_Radio​_11.76A​.3504​...
I try to downgrade to 1.50 and 1.28 but give me the same error (I hate android, it give me only the message error...what kind of error?!).

I start over:
- bootloader unlocked
- new recovery (recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img)
- root (via su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
- flash Extreme Sensation Dream™ 4
- start wifix and install succesfully.
Try to start wifi and got the same error.

other metod same issue:
- new recovery (4ext)
- 3.33 firmware
- this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941&highlight=4ext+recovery
always wifi error
If I read the info, under Wifi MAC said: not avaiable, maybe is a kernel problem?

Try a new kernel instal ARHD ROM might work ...
Try to connect on diff Wi-Fi connection
If I hve helped you press the thanks button ...

The last chance and the ABSOLUTE one, is fixing permissions.
After searchin a lot n talkin with whole lotta peep around the world, when i found no solution, eventually when i was cycling thru the tweaks, i tapped fix permissions n now it works quite awesome!
Go into your recovery (as u said, cwm touch) n go to (i think) tools section, then "fix permissions".
Press thanks if worked.

I try arhd 6.8.0 with faux123 kernel.
Try fix permission.
No wifi.
After all this maybe is an hardware problem, wifi module broken...

Somethings wrong

Hey guys
My brother got the sensation a while ago, so i took it, rooted, and flashed a new rom.
I also think I updated the firmware because its running ICS(used to be 2.3).
Anyway, the phone is very laggy and slow plus when I get a call most time it reboots.
I flashed cyanogen rom (4.2.2) and through the set up it rebooted.
I wiped every thing before I installed CM.
Has any body experienced this before? any ideas?
Thank in advance m8s:good:

Provide more information. Post your bootloader details here.

lol, thats the problem i guess. Its not lagging on 4.2.2 but when I get a call it reboots..
any ideas guys? could it be a hardware issue?

guys after flashing CM10 the phone works great but it over heats a lot and most of the time when I get a call, I answer, it reboots..
Whats the problem with this phone

I don't think it's a hardware issue. You could try a stock ROM or an RUU to see if the problem is fixed. Try clearing the cache and data from the phone app and see if that fixes it.

Before installing CM10, I cleared the cache and date, rest to factory and wiped dalvik cache. I always flash roms on my oneX and DHD but never experienced this problem.
I noticed something, after booting in CM10 for the first time, the prior venom wallpaper was there which was awkward...
could be this the recovery? Im currently using CWM flashed directly from play store.
PLZ help guys this phone is becoming very annoying, almost every call I receive it will reboot

Hmm...I am running out of ideas. I think you need to somehow re-install the phone.apk, but this is coming from a semi-noob. You might need a pro to help you on this.
One more idea... Did you try putting a piece of cardboard by the battery to keep it in properly (although it's only when you open the phone app)

Hi
Which developer rom are you using and also which kernel you are using ... Try to change your kernel ...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2

Flash 3.33 firmware. Try a Rom with sense 3.6. Elegancia works well. Then try different kernels. Lets see if u still have these issues.

Thanks guys. I will try different roms and kernels and ill post back.
Ill also try the card bored thing because I thing it reboots when I move the phone vertically.
Ill post back when I find the right solution.
Thanks again

Here it is...
As I mentioned in the first post that my brother uses the phone.
Sorry to disappoint you but the problem was from the battery
I dont know how i did not think about it.
I folded a piece of paper and placed it behind the battery and since then it never rebooted
THANKS GUYS!!!!
