[Q] Strange USB Problem on the Sensation XE - HTC Sensation

Hello everyone.
I have a sensation XE, with firmwire 3.33 from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
I am on hboot 1.27 with S-OFF. My problem is that the USB does not charge (and will not detect for SDcard access) when I boot up on my phone on the AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean KANG ROM, or the Android Revolution HD 7.3 Rom. However, if I switch the phone off and plug in the USB cable it charges OK. Also if I go into CWM, I can mount the SDcard via the USB with no problem. So I am assuming this is some sort of software issue I am having? If anyone can give me some advice I would be grateful. Thanks for your time.

I have the same issue. Only work around is to download kernel tuner and toggle off USB otg on misc tweaks. I have to toggle it a couple times to work right.

Thanks for the suggestion elheat77, when you mentioned the kernel, I remembered that in Android Revolution HD you had a choice of two, so I choose the Sense Faux Kernel instead of the other one, in the chance it might make a difference and now everything works.

Sleep mode enabled???

My Sensation 4G TMOUS has been randomly giving me a notification in my status bar saying "Sleep mode enabled" "Networks are disables when screen is off"
I can't find any option to turn it off! When I press the notification it takes me to the "Power" settings, but there is nothing there that references sleep mode??? I also can't clear it from the status bar...
Anyone else get this?

I get the exact same thing after it has been in the cradle charging all night.

Its so strange and annoying! I foud the only way to get rid of it it to open up settings then open task manager from the drop down quick setting and kill all processes. I hate doing that.
What ROM are you running?

Same problem here...only a kill all process fives me back the internetz
I am running arhd ..I see other 2 people running the same rom and having the same issue
I'm running stock rom, and have also recently gotten these notifications. It comes and goes a couple times a day... Strange.
I'm having this issue too. I hate it. Did you guys tried downloading something from market while having this notification via wifi?
I realized that when I get this notification I can't download something on market although I can browse without a trouble. I can only download app via mobile network when I get this notification.
I hope we can find a solution.
Same here after installing CoreDroid 2.5. Even going back to a backup I did 4 hours before first notification occurs doesn't help - notification comes 15s after boot.
So I had to restore a different rom...
Any idea ?
Update: flashing over the same rom again solved my problem.

I tried this, but not working for Pyramid3D v8.1.0 XE from CdTDroiD.
Any changes people?
It seems the European based rom have this feature in the power settings. I've been running insertcoin and RCMega Mix and am able to turn it off.
I think the setting got enabled by flashing other roms, and just stuck no matter if I went back to stock or at TMOBUS rom.

I just started experiencing this issue yesterday. I flashed a bunch of roms then came back to ARHD 3.6.2. No matter what rom or kernel i try now I still get the same message. I make sure to flash super wipe every time so I don't know why I'm still getting this message. Any one know if it actually does put the phone in sleep mode the when screen is off or is it just an error message?
Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
Since installation of P3D 8.2.1 the issue is back, even when restoring CD2.5 which was running a few days before without this issue. SuperWipe or FullWipe and manual cleanup of SDCard didn't help too.
So where is this setting stored ??? Maybe activated by a Sense 3.5 ROM in Radio module ? Where else may this setting remain when clean system, data, cache and sdcard ?

Seems to be correct, AFAIK CoreDroid 2.5 and P3D 8.2.1 are on European base and shows this issue.
Energy Sense 3.0 based on TMOUS (pls correct me if I'm wrong) seems not to be affected by this works fine in my case.
Update: Bulletproof 1.4 doesn't have this issue too (TMOUS based too ?).

Even when You install a Sense 3.5 ROM ? Energy Sense 3.5 (my favorite) has an option for configuring exact this parameters in power menu, I think other Sense 3.5 based roms too.
Same problem here. ARHD 3.6.5.
I had this when I woke up this morning stock European ROM I did some googling and the only way I found to clear it is go to task manager and kill all tasks since doing this it hasn't returned

I think it only comes up on sense 3.0 roms cuz it doesn't have the performance extra option in the power menu. But I never had the issue it started after I switched to a sense 3.0 from a sense 3.5 rom.

My opinion too, but - cuz they had been working before - there must be a stored setting which still resists a full wipe. Where could it be ?
On the other side: BB 1.4 and Energy Sense 3.0 are not affected... What's the difference between them and the other roms (regarding this issue) ?

Not sure. In my case I used the super wipe script each time after trying a bunch of roms. I was thinking maybe I should try just wiping cache, dalvik and everything else? What method did u use for wiping before flashing. It seems it's not getting wiped and reset completely for some reason.

[Q] Need help (noob)- need to know some fixes about phone (if possible)

I need help figuring out how to fix some of these problems on my htc sensation 4g, its rooted with the android revolution hd, has andriod version 4.0.3, sense 3.6 and, running 6.3.0 software. My question is, if possible,how i can fix the wifi, camera app, and bluetooth, it says error when i try connecting bluetooth and wifi, camera app is just blank black. anyway to solve this, any type of feedback is welcome. just dont go too harsh on me im new to this and want my problems fixed.
Well, you could try reflashing the rom. Download Mike's Super Wipe from the ARHD thread and super wipe before installing the rom. Then install, and you should be set. I'm on ARHD 6.3.0 and everything works fine.
Yea tried that a while ago and nothing happened, everything stayed the same
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
You might need to install the right firmware package (different from the rom). Find the newest version from the link in the ARHD thread (i think 3.30) and install it. Also try reflashing the rom (don't forget to suprwipe) and if you use Titanium backup make sure to not restore system data, as it will cause problems when transferred among different roms.

Yea tried it this morning...no luck everything is still the same...camera has black screen and WiFi and Bluetooth have error over it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
You could try using an RUU to restore everything back to stock before reflashing. Also, use recovery to wipe (format) the partitions to ensure nothing is left when flashing. If everything works after running the RUU, then try reflashing (double check the guides to make sure you followed all the steps).
Don't forget to check all md5 checksums after downloading files, as occasionally they download incorrectly.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G running Android Revolution HD 6.3.0
ok, im not gonna lie, even though im new to all this, im a little precautious of what im going to do to my phone.. so can you please post some steps on how you are suggesting i should try fixing it, i dont want to do things all out of order and end up bricking my phone. it would really help if you would post some steps on how to do this so, i aoppreciate it alot.
If you want to go the route of restoring to stock (which I recommend), first you'll need to download an RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Find the one that matches the carrier/region of your phone. If you are unsure, post your CID and I can help you choose the right one. You can find your CID by searching the CID checker app in the market.
Don't forget to make a backup in recovery and backup any important data from your phone. The RUU completely resets and clears all data from your phone (excluding SD card).
Once it is downloaded, simply run the exe, plug your phone into the computer, and follow the instructions it gives you (all you have to do now is press next several times).
After this your phone will be completely reverted to stock. If you still have problems (very unlikely) then you need to send it in for warranty as it is most likely a hardware problem. If everything works, you can either stay on stock or reflash whichever ROM you want.
If you have any questions about the process, please post them and I'll post more detailed instructions.

i downloaded it, now i just open it on the computer while my phones connected, right? Had a security check on it and it may harm the computer, is it safe to open it up on the computer?
i just opened it, got thru to the update, then it gave me an error, says update cannot be applied, does not compute with my phone, update rom is too large, please downlaod correct rom and try again.

[Q] WiFi won't turn on

It's a while that my Sensation got this wifi issue. It simply stay with the "Activating WiFi" message all the day. I've already tried to flash a ruu, custom kernels, ril, radio and everything i can imagine.
I got a S-OFF sensation (coming from a previous Revolutionary), then unlocked with htcdev method.
HBOOT:1.27.0000
Radio: 11.22.3504.07_M
FW: 3.32
I really don't know what to do..
Really thanks in advance for those who answer!
I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!!IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING AND NOTHING WORKS!!!
Since you said you did htc-dev unlock, when you are about to flash a new rom, in your recovery(mine is ext touch)go to tools and select smartflash and then flash rom. Please report back! Apparently if you have revolutionary s-off we shouldn't be having this problem. I think mine is a hardware issue
wifi problem with HTC Sensation
I domehow have the same issue with all ICS ROMs. I used to have GB ROMs and they were ok with WIFI. After installing 2 ICS ROMs, I can't get WIFI to work. When I turn it on, it shows available networks for 4-5 seconds and then nothing! I have to turn off, and then turn on again to see the wireless networks again, but only for 4-5 seconds!
The problem is for sure not a hardware one, as I can use WIFI Hotspot without a problem, so the hardware should be ok!
Any idea?
Guy's keep it simple and flash another kernel the kernel is breaking your WiFi I had this problem in the past and thats how I fix it the kernel is over clocked to high and that Will break your WiFi every time
Sent from my Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Maybe flashed the wrong kernel ? Try flashing a new Rom with the latest recovery. If that fails then relock your bootloader with fastboot (fastboot oem-lock) then install your ruu, then usr the HTC dev unlock tool

it works after tons of tries.
1. Take off the sim card
2. Use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766
3. Check if it works (maybe after a reboot)
4. Switch the WiFi OFF
5. Put the sim in
6. Try the WiFi now
this worked for me.
it has been a hell!!!

I already tried changing kernels. Why whould devs package a kernel that breaks your wifi?

Common problem phone shutting down in ARHD and Venom

Hi all.
I am facing a problem since i rooted my phone and installed ARHD XE on my NORMAL sensation.
Everything was fine for first 10 days after custom rom. Then suddenly one day the phone started to switch off and only after two or three reboots at the Htc screen does the phone successfully boots. This started to happen randomly.
Then i installed viper with all the default options at 1.5 mhz badass kernel and the problem has come back with the phone switching off. To sucesfully restart sometimes i need to remove the battery and reinsert.
I am on 3.32 radio with s-off and 4ext recovery.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

I'm on ViperS from Venom since last 22 days...I had not faced any issue...
Try to re-install the ROM. Keep everything as default..and must follow the HBOOT & RADIO versions as provided by Venom(If u want to install ViperS then)
And do not change the Kernel..

Thats 3 of your posts that are useless and promote the team venom rom now, how much are they paying you again? STOP ADVERTISING AND PROMOTING OTHER ROM's.
If someone wants to use venom rom they will, if someone doesnt then its their choice so can you stop trying to promote that particular ROM please. People are perfectly capable of making their own minds up.
Have you checked to see if you're battery has a wiggle or is lose at all?v if it is you can reestablish contact by putting a small piece of paper in the bottom of battery to stop the movement . This establishes contact again and prevents the rebooting .if the battery is stable it is another issue. By any chance are you under volting the CPU? Sometimes that can also cause the issue? If none of these things are true perhaps try posting on the roms developers site. Perhaps it's a issue and the developer or other users know of a fix . Hope this helps .

You might have a bad battery.
Thank you everyone for your inputs.
I have reflashed Venom with all the default settings and have crossed my fingers !!!
I doubt this relates to battery since only after installing custom roms this has started to happen. Before that i had used this phone as completely stock for a year and never faced this problem.
Thanks everyone again.

Is there a solution for the WiFi issue?

It's been some time since I posted the problem. I searched around and didn't find any new information, so I am just hoping I missed something, like a possible thread that has a fix.
I have no WiFi, have gone through the book trying to fix it, to no avail. HOWEVER, I left the phone un used for about a month, battery had died long ago. A few days ago, I grabbed and and just decided to give it another shot and install revolution hd on it. For whatever reason, it installed successfully and the WiFi was working perfectly. So I updated the 4ext and had notice that a new version of HD had come out, so I decided to update it, and well, back to square 0, WiFi no longer works. So I tried to back pedal and repeated the steps leading up to the WiFi working, Super Wipe with smart flash enable, reboot, installed HD with no smart flash. But this time it did not work. Strange that it worked before though, I wonder if it being out of battery for so long had something to do with it.
did you try to flash the boot.img of your rom?
also if you are S-ON when flashing a rom always enable smartflash

I too had the wifi issues for quite some time. After updating my kernel it got fixed.
Probably you could do the following:
1. If your HBOOT is S-ON, make sure you follow the above two posts while flashing ROM
2. Ensure that the latest firmware is being used.
2. Try changing the kernel (mine is faux 009b4 now).
I am S-OFF, like I said, I've tried everything.
Just seem odd that out of nowhere it flashed correctly, I should of just left it at that, maybe if I leave the battery inside the phone drained for a while I can repeat the successful flash.

I faced with same issue. I use ARHD 6.7.1 and i have no problems with wi-fi , but when I try to install sense 4.0 roms for sensation, I always have wi- fi problem.I live in Almaty and I use Beeline for mobile carrier, My device is Revolutionary S-OFF. I live in Almaty and I use Beeline for mobile carrier, and also I have one sim card for Turkey, AVEA, when I use Beeline wi-fi doesn't work but when I use Avea wi-fi works completely. I tried wifix manager. But I can't find solution :/
Same thing happened to me when I updated, go to tools in 4ext before flashing and enable smart flash, I'm pretty sure this will help
