Hi guys, loving the sensation xl minus one thing. The panoramic mode on the camera. The problem is I press start, it goes green, but when I try to move it to the next stop, it freezes or moves a bit then gets stuck. I can only stop this by moving the phone really quickly but this results in badly stitched photos. Anyone else having this problem? Seems like HTC didn't really finish the feature and just put it in at the last minute.

No problems with mine. Have you tried factory reset? If so, and the problem still exists, return it as faulty.
Tried f/r. I've heard other people complain about this. I'm going to contact HTC. No doubt they'll be as useless as ever

Not had that problem on mine, then again I made a schoolboy error when taking a shot and brought the camera closer screwing up the pic
If you need good Panorama then i suggest JB Camera+ from market very easy to use and Panorama works perfectly in my phone and it takes very good photos also

I know usualy when htc launches a new phone they make a press conference where I can see videos from prezentation of sensation xl?
I searched nobody asked again here.
There was a big launch party for the XL in London I believe - I'd assume there were some presentations given at it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyPSALvdb80 might cover what you want to know

Hi all
I've scoured the net for an answer to this, but all I seem to get is root/flash/mod stuff that I honestly don't fully understand.
QUESTION: All I want to know is WHY IS MY PHONE RUNNING SLOW(er) than my old SGS. That was rooted and flashed with 2.2 when I couldn't get an update but knocked out my WIFI and bluetooth so I won't be doing that again.
When I open task manager, I have 591MB available RAM (should it not be 712MB as advertised???) - 500MB of which is constantly in use. Therefore, leaving me with on average 100MB of RAM for useage. I have pretty much removed every app I have downloaded, turned the phone off and back on, removed the battery but to no avail. Even stopping running processes doesn't speed it up.
FYI I have also turned off all settings humanly possible (which is pretty much limited to animations and auto brightness)
All in all, with a 1.5ghz processor as opposed to a 1ghz processor on my SGS I should expect flawless performance, especially after such a good run with a lower spec phone.
Apologies for the rant but I want to give as much info as possible and I am sick to death of this phone already (i'm 3 or so weeks into my new contract)
Any help would be greatly appreciated (i'm sure one of you h-core android users can point me in the right direction)
Thanks in advance.
which rom you using right now? firmware or custom?
and what do you mean by "slow" ?
slow perfomance? slow response? not smooth enough?
my XL works perfectly fine and very smooth, and i am using RcMix's rom, no problem at all.
I dont think a normal XL has such issues that you mentioned, it could be your hardware's problem, try send it back for fixing, or just replace a new one if your warranty is still on.
712 MB, no. some of it is not user accessible, so it's not shown. perfectly normal. and 100MB spare should b plenty. That amoutn that is in use alreeady includes the sense UI.
Network branded?
Widgets on the home screens?
Mine only has 400MB used, and that's with loadsa crap installed and the music player running...
But don't fear the custom ROMS, if the Wi-Fi and BT went, either it was a dodgy ROM (or it was still being done), or something went wrong during the flash. These things happen but can usually be fixed.
Thanks for the replies. I am currently running stock firmware pre installed, have removed all widgets bar weather clock/power bar/YouTube bar and only have 2 home screens. Thats about it! but you really shouldn't have to on what's considered a high end phone, no?
It's slow between screens (animations are off), loading apps and the music player is choppy. They're the only real gripes I can pick off the top off of my head.
Do roms make much of a difference?
Am I expecting too much from a "high end " android?
I'm on o2

I hasten to add the question: Do you need to effectively "wear in" such devices? I do recall a speed issue with my old laptop before I gave it a good few hours with multiple programs on the go.

If u are talking bout the animation, yes its abit laggy when i got mine but i don think its big issue for me
Perhaps the next ICS will improve if u plan to update firmware
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using XDA App
Animations are always worth turning off.
Bear in mind that any widget you have running will have the program running in the background.
the fact you have so much in use suggests maybe O2 have installed some crap maybe?
Have you got it sycnhing for email avery five minutes or so?
Yeah, i suspect there's some bloat installed maybe?
Just reset mine and am showing 581 total, but only 309MB used, over 270MB free.
i have stripped a few bits out of my ROM however....
That was a good shout with the email sync. Have changed it to once a week but it still hasn't made much difference. Chances are o2 have installed ****e on here that I can't access, they're not as good as I previously thought.
Ifi don't get any joy by the time I've installed the march release of ICS I'm getting rid and going for the SGS2. I don't trust roms anymore.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using XDA App
custom roms are smooth, u might want to try it.
I wouldn't let one bad experience put you off. I've been flashing and doing stuff since the old Qtek S100 back in 2003/2004. Yeah, occasionally things go a bit awry, but it's rarley not able to be fixed. I've never had a bricked device yet, although one or two may have been run over....
I didn't brick my sgs luckily. I just knocked out WiFi capability which really annoyed me. But funilly enough, today my phone seems to have sped right up. Now have an average of 170mb free ram which is almost double. I dont know what I've done, bit it seems to have worked. I reckon I just needed to wear my phone in like I did my laptop. Im fairly impatient with loading times etc haha.
I think I'm gonna wait til march when ics is released and if its crap then I'll revisit mods again.
Thanks for your help and everyone else who posted.

Sounds like a dodgy ROM to me.
for it to do that suddenly, I wonder if you had signed into HTC Sense....that thing takes DAYS to do it's first sync sometimes.
hard resetting will solve this prob//
i have problem after factory reset is solved ,but as soon as start using dailer app ,phone restarts after dailing ,if use wifi for browsing etc in aeroplane mode every things is simply fine .
had tried flashing few roms already ,has any one solved this isssue ?
i have found that the phone sometimes "bottlenecks" and goes stupid for a few mins, but killing all running apps, and locking and unlocking the phone, makes it act normal again!
I.have no problems. Only facebook gets stupid and stays loading and loading I.have to go into applications and force stop then fb works fine. Not sure what it is ...camera its so so. I mean it uses same rezound camera and rezound takes better pics

yes both problem mate,
phone restarts regularly, and heat up on charging.
thanks for reply
I think it is normal to heats up a bit when on charge.My phone does the same when I charging it up or when I play games. Don't know why restarts.

i know its heat up during charging , but phone behaviour is not okay ,
just wanna clarify its hardware problem or can be fixed via update firmware,
thanks
Try to update, if keeps doin it will be better to take it to service i guess. My opinion ..... It's not normal to reboot without reason!
dear all,
yesterday my Sensation start also to rebote, from no reason, it start show HTC logo on boot and he show screen for entering PIN, and than rebote, so I don't have time to enter PIN.
At the moment he run rom Android Revolution HD rom.
- Iflash again radio
- firmware
- format all and clean cache
- instal also new rom Insert Coin, but same thing. he come until PIN screen and make restart.
what can be the problem, is it possible to get any logs for these problem?
or it is hardware problem?
also I make factory restore, but nothing...
any suggestion ?
Mine does the same, going to wait till I update to ics to see if that fixes it if not ill take it back
It seems like not everyone but most of the phones can't handle the rom's.
I hope soon we'll get the solution.....
Its hardware problem , mine repaired by reheat processor same like hd2,
me too

it is happening with me also
it heats up and after that restart by its own
i think it is a safety issue to kill all application and restart
but i am not sure

Sounds like a thermal issue with the CPU. Do phones use thermal paste? Maybe you need your CPU's reseating.

As i know from my expirience paste sometime do more harm then good. And i don't think they have used on mobile CPU paste....
Mobile CPU no need paste. But some services giving special paste for it. Its giving the same results like without. Anyway the problem guys is realy only for serwis. Flash stock ruu and sendit. New mobo is very expensive

Tell please what ROM are u using. That happened to me a lot with Alexs runnybliss 1.2 ROM. Cuz in some ways my phone could not handle that overclocked kernel. I am circuit board engineer and know how to measure temps on board areas. So my temps was more than 78 degrees by Celsius. And friends SXL burned with big flame during night charge. We could not get to exactly what happened but he's SXL also was running alexs runnyblis 1.2 He send back to warranty and luckily was given new one. Some chips can't be clocked I think cuz they all are different. Be carefull with this and try some stock kernels. Mine is doing just fine now with ANDTopix Rom. No heatups and no restarts anymore.

Hey guys, I have problem with photos at night,or dark conditions. They all are blurry. I mean, I have Galaxy S4 ,S3 ,Note 2 and when is night,tap on the screen means, light on camera turn on and object at dark is focused. While HTC One cant do it. Tap on the screen at dark does nothing and photo is blurry. Is there any solution how can I do perfect photos like Galaxy series? I also tried Camera FX ,but its the same. Still cant focus with light
Maybe is user error. Simple as just not doing it right. If not we need more info than that... Like come on how can I help you when all you say is "I'm a newbz and mah camera won't focus"?
Give me rom, kernel, camera app settings and maybe someone would be nice enough to help you.

All stock, not rooted.
Lol, this is not only my problem, but every user of HTC One get this problem. Im asking for solution. Just try that. Try taking picture at night, when on One is only black screen. How can U make a photo, which is not blurry? Tapping on the screen to focus is useless, cause it cant focus.. Its weird and sad. If I could do same as on the Galaxy, tap on the screen uses light and that means it will focus on objects at night, so U have great picture. But One, which has better picture at night cause of ultrapixles, cant do that?
Enough to know whats the problem?

Stock 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 because there has been quite a few updates that increases camera performance. Maybe some pictures could help.
If you are properly focusing on something after pressing your finger on the screen it should say "AE and AF locked".

Yeah,if I tap on the screen,it says ae and af locked. But it doesnt solve the problem. Try it. U will have blurry photo too. It just cant focus at night
So, I found on the internet same issue..Everybody got this problem, I think all HTC devices, but lot of people dont know about it..There was no software update which repair this..One guy got third part app, which using light-torch ,so it can focus in dark too..But he said its bit laggy, not as HTC's camera app:-/ He also tried different ROMs, nothing works..Shame on HTC..Dont understand why they cant do it like Samsung..
me too am having the same problem. am using vipers 5.2.1 and night pictures are just bad even with the powerful dual flash on the sensation
I went to a concert last night, and I recorded some video, and on the first video I recorded, the audio was perfect, as always. However, on all the following videos, the second microphone which this phone uses for capturing the louder audio never turned on, so now all of my videos (except the first) are in mono (with only audio coming from the left speaker, and the audio quality sounds like ****, like every other phone.)
I have a Sprint HTC One, and it's 100% stock. When I got home, my phone died due to no battery (maybe it just needed a restart?) and now it's working fine. What gives? Has this ever happened to anybody? I hope it was just a random software glitch, that's what I'm assuming it was.

I imagine it probably was. The thing with software is sure the testers may test for everything they feel is necessary. But it is impossible to test for every scenario out there, so every once in a while a bug may slip through the cracks, usually its a minor nuisance but in any case yeah it was probably a minor bug with the camera software or something.
Hey just letting you know, you're not alone and it doesn't happen because of battery. I have same issue and some others reported in the international thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660313
First video is always fine with stereo recording, subsequent videos only capture left channel audio. A reboot will allow you to record in stereo again, but just that one time.
If you can test and post there would be great because I feel a lot of people would be affected by this, they just didn't listen on a computer or through headphones yet.

Thanks, it an annoying bug that no one seems to be complaining about too much. Probably because if you don't move the videos off the phone or listen through headphones, you won't notice.
Somehow we have to get the attention of HTC to fix during next update.
If you can post your examples in the international thread, there is a thread created over there, that would be good. My fear is that now the M8 is out attention will be there for HTC.
