I'm just curious. I'm running the newest elegancia 4.1 on 3.32 firmware. What exactly is the difference in 3.33? Would there be any noticeable change in operation or performance? Mainly just wondering if its worth the effort to change firmware as I'm not seeing any bugs with the Rom/firmware I currently use.
Also, I dropped my phone recently and my WiFi will no longer turn on. I'm assuming I somehow physically broke my WiFi, as I've tried restoring a backup and new rom and still nothing. Any other ideas?

The difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is that 3.33 updates your radio to 11.24 (you can check what radio you have by booting into the bootloader).

Actually it's radio 1.76 in 3.33. Also it changes the ril and hboot. But saying that there's not that much difference all roms that work with 3.33 work with 3.32 also

Remove the back cover and look for broken contacts at the top of the phone there's a thread on xda but don't remember where if you discover broken ones try replacing the back cover as this is where the antennas mobile at TBS bottom and GPS WiFi at the top I think

I've looked. They seem fine. WiFi won't even turn on, just sits at turning on and drains battery or errors out.

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.

Noob here, i just want to ask how to check if i have matching radio and rils, i have flashed the arhd 4.1.4 on my phone and the radio that matches with the rom. I tried going back and forth to different arhd versions and i still ended up with unstable signal mainly on my carrier, wifi and data is fairly good. any tips and tricks u could share with me to fix this problem.. thanks in advance

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?

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
Guys I see a lot of roms that tells you what firmware is recommended but it dowsnt show you on how to know which firmware you have.
I recently got this phone sensation 4g from tmous. came with ICS.
I rooted it, s-off it, and hboot 1.27.1111
how can i know what firmware do I have? and I guess I need to be on 1.33
and another question is anybody still using super wipes in here? seems like the more ics roms dont tells you that you need to do a super wipe
and can I still use superwipe when flashing new roms?

Their is a firmware thread that gives all the firmwares with unlocked bootloaders. Also a rom will state if you should super wipe or not. But as a rule of thumb do not super wipe when installing a aosp or aokp rom. Only sense roms seem to be compatible.
Also since you have ics as stock It would be safe to assume you have the 3.32 firmware as this is what is linked in most if the s-off guides I believe.

so the 3.32 is based on stock ICS for the sensation 4g then why some says to update to 3.33

Because 3.33 is the newest firmware and what some devs recommend for there roms. Even though 3.32 is the same as 3.33. So if you have 3.32 your ok.The only real difference is the radio. So if you just update your radio. You should be fine.
you can update to 3.33 but right now you dont have to. eventually maybe. setting > about phone will also tell you firmware version on phone, or maybe just the firmware of the rom, not sure. If you read the firmware thread then you will understand firmware and settings and not make a mistake. end up with reboots or tac nyan or some ****.

Finding out the firmware version is one of the most basic information you need to know. Hint: Bootloader has nothing to do with it.
Odoslané z HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio cez Tapatalk 2
What he's trying to tell you is if you get to your boot loader (by pulling battery putting battery back in pressing volume down and power at the same time) the information about your device will be there...if you want to upgrade to 3.33 you flash the v pg58img file. You put on root of sd card boot into boot loader the way I showed you then it will ask to update press power for yes. Then DELETE the file! If you don't delete it it will continuously try to update. That's all there is to it. Hope I've helped.if so press thank you. Have fun updating.

Same issue
I had the same issue with my sensation. I reflashed everything. I Flashed arhd 6.7. With beats and it works quite well now only issue so far is mobile Internet Speed. I'm reading through all the forums because usually every issue has been addressed and solved somewhere on this website. This is one heck of a Site. I'm going to try to do my part the best I can
I got the same issue that indresh88 said in the first post.
And i've also tried the fix that Echo237 suggested.
So.. i'm now with fw 3.33 with stock ICS rom and i've also flashed the root and tried wifix manager from the market.
Nothing is working. WiFi won't turn on, just remain with the message "Activating Wi-Fi..."
Any idea about what i can do?
try going back to stock again by using flashing a different ruu I have 3.32 and its with sense 3.6 it my work for you at this point its worth a try and keep it on stock for a while and monitor the WiFi but before you flash the ruu make sue you relock your device and then fastboot OEM writesecureflag 3

Man don't give up what is needed is the steps you went through before flashing the ruu and after I my self have downloaded 5 ruu's and I was only able to flash two out 5 but I figured out how to do it and I manage to flash the old ruu that comes stock with the hboot 1.17 and then I s off via alpharevolutionary installed 4ext custom recovery installed super su and then did a back up and then upgradeed my hboot to 1.27 and then up graded my firmware to 3.33 then flashed my new custom Rom done and set running smooth as silk and no reboot's or shut down's

Okay this is not what you want to...keep this as a last option but, if nothing works out...go to the HTC customer care...I'm pretty sure Surat has !
I had gone to the customer care when I had this problem and didn't want to root then but I rooted eventually which solved the problem as they kept saying "kaale aavjo, today our server is down so couldn't download the firmware"....the guys won't ask for money. But just say that this happened only after ics don't circle around.

Hmm. So I was having even worse data/wifi issues after updating. Like I said the speed test app wouldn't work, wifi calling wouldn't work. So I found the newest ruu which is posted here in the [email protected] section, like 2.85 or whatever. Ran the ruu and I'm having zero issues. Something with taking the updates ota didn't agree with my phone. If you're having issues after the ota I'd suggest just running the ruu. Seems flawless now.
