T-Mobile Sensation 4G running latest Venom ViperS 5.2.1. Flashed the recommended 3.33 RUU for S-OFF before flashing the ROM. Neither the stock FM radio nor SpiritFM give me anything more than random, drifting audio and usually just static. Bluetooth on or off. My wife now tells me it's been that way since it was stock (basically, that the radio hasn't worked for a long time).
Could this be a hardware issue? Is there any particular contact or set of contacts that might be bad between the phone and the case? Thanks.

First time poster, please be gentle.
Encountered an interesting problem but can't seem to figure out how to fix.
Been using various custom ROMS: IC, LeeDroid, ARHD and MIUI on my HTC Sensation.
When I use the app in 3G/4G/H it does not connect to the secured server. But it works fine in Wifi (which is of little use when you are trying to pay for parking at the meter).
What I have found is that IC, LeeDroid and ARHD have this issue, but it works on MIUI and stock. I've even tried different kernals (faux and bricked) to no avail and it seems be ROM related.
Been looking at the build.prop files to see if there is any clue as to why this is, but nothing there.
Currently on the 10.15 Radio and matching RIL.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Hi there!
I using HyperSensation 1.0 ROM, which is fantastic. Except my GPS locks instantly to some bogus place (it's completely off, in the ocean for example). I get no satellite locks. I even set my gps.conf to North America (I am in Toronto, ON Canada) using FastFix
I want to try to fix this by getting a new radio, as the dev of HyperSensation said to use the "newest" radio found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143 but I'm sure we have different kinds of Sensations. And I hope newest radio refers to the last item on the list, ie. "From the 1.72.401.1 RUU:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
md5: 722549b642a1374964798cc82100855e".
My current radio is 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M ..
Is it a good idea to update to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2? Will it work with my T Mobile Sensation Phone in Canada using an AWS network on Mobilicity?
And would this be the only thing to flash, or do I need to flash the corresponding RUU/RIL? If yes, which one works with my rom and phone?
I really appreciate any help! This GPS (and slow speeds, may I add) is fustrating me.
I've looked around the forums, and haven't found any good problems related to my particular issue.
Well, I couldn't be happier. I went ahead and flash my tmobile to that new Radio and everything is working fantastically!
Im so glad I did this, my gps works! It didnt work on stock, nor coredroid rom, nor hypersensation until i installed this radio
cheers for anyone that may have a similar issue
(my device wouldnt boot up after i installed my new radio driver. but i found out i had to remove the .zip file from the sdcard... that scared me, thought i bricked my phone! )
Hello all, I got a question.
I recently bought a car, now the good thing is that it has a sony bluetooth radio (Handsfree calling). However I cannot get my phone paired to it, it won't recognize devices.
Radio: http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/373396/Sony-CD-tuner-MEX-BT3900U/0304001&ref=list
Phone: Sensation 4G
Rom: OrDroid 9.0.0
Would anybody be able to help me?
I'm having problems with Bluetooth audio too. Though, it solved itself.
Maybe a reflash will help.
all sense4 rom have problems with bluetooth audio i think...
try viper, thats based on the newest RUU and overall similar to Ordroid...
Hi guys, i've got the radio included in the 2.21 update (1.06s), now that the 2.31 ruu has been posted i don't know if it's worth to update it to the latest (1.06es) or not (i use cm10 and have hboot 1.14 so i have to use the ruu to install the radio, it's a fairly long process).
What do you think?
If your signal and data are fine don't do anything.

i got 1 extra bar by upgrading by radio
I have used all the recent radios on CM10 and no difference. Also, some folks have had issues with the latest radio on CM10. The problems with having your hboot upgraded are not worth it. Unless, as mentioned, you have specific radio/wifi issues that dramatically impact your phone's perfomance.
Nope, never had issues with this radio, i'll stick with it, thanks!
I've never had great reception and I'm hoping that a radio change will help that.
I've had a total noob brain fart. How do I check for my HBOOT version?
I'm on T-Mo in the US. On the older radios, my connection would randomly drop, both WiFi and Data, then would come back within a few seconds. Very annoying when downloading files. With the newest radio, I have had no crashes at all. Battery life seems just a tad better for me as well. I recommend you update the radio. It is different for everyone. I only updated b/c it was easy for me as I have an older hboot.

And which are you running now? 2.21 or 2.31?

Had faster data download speeds with 2.21 radio compared to 2.31 radio, connection stability was about the same. I ran RUU on both times.

Recently I installed new ROM and the voice quality is really bad. It echos a lot and sounds like a broken record. I tried many different ROMs with HTC sense 4.0 and its the same. On one ROM it was good initially but after updating the ROM the voice quality went down. It only does it if I am listening through the ear piece (phone) but its fine with the speaker and bluetooth.
I am using HTC Sensation 4G.
I think its something do with the Kernal but I am not sure which is the right one.
All help highly appreciated.
As far as I understand(I might be wrong) but the kernel won't have anything to do with voice quality. The echo in my experience is caused from the connection. What might help would be using a different radio and ril. It could change your signal for the better. It can take a few trys before you find the correct radio and ril for your area . Once you find the correct one to improve your signal I think your issue will also be much better.. best place to look would be the generic ics radio and ril .I changed mine and that echo I used to get stopped. You can give it a try and see if it helps. In my case it did but it depends on the reception area you are in. Every area is different so a specific radio can't be recommended because all our areas are different. I really hope this helps. You can try out a few and if no joy then return to your original radio and ril .it worked for me. Best wishes.

Did you ever resolve your ear piece problem on your Sensation? I'm having the same exact issue.
