and their photos are shown in people?
if yes, than try to clear the data from ur whatsapp settings (backup conversations if needed) and reopen it.

hope that helps

Hey guys

My wife has a Sensation XL and it has just started playing up when charging. It will charge for about 5 seconds, then stop charging for about 1 minute, then start again! I have tried a different charger and also tried pulling the battery and trying again.

So far I haven't found this symptom with the searching i've done but would appreciate some advice on what to do to try and fix it!

Cheers

Screen freezing/unresponsive

Ive had my phone since Christmas and after a month the screen froze and became unresponsive. This happened once every couple of weeks but in this last month it happens every day now and about 10 times each day. I have factory reset it about 5 times now and its no different.
Has anyone else experienced this or know off a way to fix it?

till u open ur notifications area

check the market, found some but not really sure how (or even if) they work on XL, like "light flow - LED control" said ur HTC must be rooted to get access to ur LED control!

regards :)

Hm.. weird, cause i was watching led and on my device, and it blinks only few minutes, meybe max 5.. so after "5" minutes led is off and u cant se any notification from sms/call. So i was wondering if there is some app tu adjust led like in bln.

And yes i have had this app, but it seem that led with this blinks whole time, or meybe i set something wrong,..i dont know. So i deleted it.

ah yeah, i really hate notifications so i dont pay attention of the LED light
anyway i just saw the HTC forum regarding this, and found that the time is exactly 5 mins!

Charging only reaches 99%

Does anyone else have this problem? My battery only charges up to 99% and stays on the orange LED.

This only started to happen last week, and at the same time my phone would just suddenly shut off at random intervals.

Any idea on what the problem is?

Thanks!

Have root, but cannot install ROM (red Exclamation mark)

Hi and hello.

So i just rooted my phone, but i can't seem to install any ROMS.

Phone: HTC Sensation XL - With beats audio.

After i unlocked my booter at HTCDEV and rootet my phone i downloaded
ROM Manager, then i klicked on:

"Flash clockworkMod Recovery"
(ClockworkMod2.x)

Then "install ROM from SD Card"

Then i give premision to Superuser...it reboots, HTC logo comes up, then i see green flash drive with and arrow pointing into it, and after 3 seconds i see a black phone with an Exclamation in a triangle.

Is there anything i missed?
I googled a little and someone where talking about deleteing a "boot" file via Root Explorer, but i didn't find that File on my HTC Sensation XL.

Please help me.. =(

Hi guys,
i just bought a HTC Sensation XL which doesn't boot (low price, of course)
the problem i got seems to be solved pages 1&2 but there is one other: CWM is in chinese: can somebody help me mount this phone on a computer by sending screenshots or telling which menu option i should use ?
thanks in advance !

- gogaz

UPDATE: i found the correct menu item but now i don't know how to flash some ROM on the phone:
the phone is not booting, it keeps on the "HTC" white screen, is there any way to
1 - put CWM in english
2 - restore factory rom
??

...CWM is in chinese: can somebody help me mount this phone on a computer by sending screenshots or telling which menu option i should use ?
Probably i would prefer reflashing the whole SXL. Because when there is a chinese CWM in it, there can be more chinese stuff!?
So check if the bootloader is locked (start with step 1.)
or if the bootloader is unlocked (start with step 2.)
Here u can find everything u need

Normally the first 3 steps should be enough...
u can use ICS beneath of step 3, if u want to.
But theres no need ;)

Now i've got a question too:
My stock SXL is rooted and bootloader is unlocked.
I made a CWM backup from this complete ROM.
When i relock my Bootloader now, i can restore this backup and all my data will be back !?... for sure, thats the job of CWM, right? :rolleyes:
1. But do i still have root?
2. can i temp UNroot my device with OTA RootKeper and check for OTA Updates?

EDIT:
Now i tried to relock my bootloader with the htc supertool v3.
All my data is still there (didn't wipe) and bootloader is now *** relocked ***

But i still have CWM installed. So i can't get an OTA update, right?
I need the stock recovery image for the SXL !?
But where to find?

    Hi all one quick question why isn't there a ics version of sensation xl? For xe an sensation simple there is.
    It will come ? Somebody Knows when?


    That is a leaked version of ICS, could be stable, could be buggy but still just for the XE

    all we know for 'sure' is Q1 2012 so anytime from now till March for the ICS SXL release, just keep an ear to the ground for now

    Sent from my Find 5 using XDA Premium HD app

    Thank you so much for helping. :) I'd be able to do this but I can't access any of the menus in my phone as I can't press the home button. How would I go about deleting date from contacts storage without having to go to the settings menu? :confused:

    I'm using clockworkmod if it helps. :)

    Could I delete date from contacts storage by formatting something?

    Yea and real sorry i meant to type DATA not date... Can you open setting from status bar?
