***The Official HTC Sensation thread***

I *may* have finally themed the remaining Sense bits on Virtuous Inquisition, but keep finding new bits! lol

If your wanting a AOSP look why not just try CM9?

 

[El Jimben]

Anyone else with ICS notice that the People app seems to be active in the memory all the time? I kill all tasks and 5 minutes later it's back even though I've not even opened it

 

[Bradmax57]

not running on mine with ARHD 6.5.5, ive got about 9 processes running that have been going for 50hours (since I last flashed rom) and am using 419mb with 163mb free

Finally had the OTA update from 3 for my Sensation XE, downloading now.

 

[Bradmax57]

I take it you guys dont want to be able to install custom roms then

Not at all, can't be bothered faffing with ROM's, I like ICS, and Sense if fine. Besides I expect a good OOBE, and I'd rather spend my time doing more useful things in my spare time than perfecting a phone and its UI that will be replaced soon.

Why isnt ICS showing as an available update on my Sensation

 

[Bradmax57]

what carrier?

 

[[TW]Fox]

Available now. Is there a review of the new software anywhere? Dont want to install it, find I cant get rid of it, and find loads of pointless interface changes I didnt want inflicted on me.

I believe this is what you want: www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-sense-4-0-review/ (is the update Sense 4?)

Edit: It seems not.

Some Sense 3.6 stuff:

[Bradmax57]

afaik the ota update is ics with sense 3.6 not sure if sense 4 is officially coming to the sensation?

@ Fox if you do the update again afaik you wont be able to go back as it changes the bootloader and firmware which isnt compatible with gingerbread roms

I've tried pure AOSP in the form of Virtuous Quattro, and indeed CM9 and OpenSensation, but none of them have the stability of virtuous Inquisition as of yet. Plus I'm having fun contributing to the ROM and learning as I go. So far I've only added graphical assets (aosp cursors, check boxes and radio buttons, themed the Sense search function and a few other bits) but I'm working on my first smali mod and really enjoying it

Fox: I'd seriously consider rooting your device simply as a precautionary measure seeing how little time it takes, as thrn you could simply do a complete backup of your initial ROM and then revert back if you dont like ICS.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Too late, its done.

And its broken, I can't get into messages. Just sits there saying Please wait... For ever.

Any ideas?

 

[Robbo]

Have you turned it off and on?

Outside of that I'm not sure what to suggest.

 

[uvarvu]

Might be worth performing a factory reset if the update hasn't already done that.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Turned it off and on numerous times. Can now get into messages but if I try and view a thread it just says loading even if its a small thread with a single message in it.

Effectively this has ruined my perfectly working phone.

Do you use anything to back up your sms's? if so id try a factory wipe and try restoring messages that way, didnt the upgrade totally wipe the phone?

 

[Mr Gimp]

Try clearing Messaging data from Apps. It will delete all your messages, but hopefully you've got them backed up anyway?
