Battery perpetually charging?

Hello everybody!

Loving the latest release of OpenSensation. The Sweep2Wake is brilliantly geeky. Love it.

Has anyone else had any problems with their Sensation thinking the battery is always charging even when it's completely unplugged? I first noticed mine doing it a couple of times a few months ago, but it was very intermitten and could be fixed simply by plugging it in and unplugging it again.

Unfortunately, it's now it's doing it pretty much all the time and no matter how many times I plug it in and unplug it, it still thinks it's charging. Only rebooting will snap it out of this state. The most annoying part about it is that it never gives me the low battery notifications, presumably because it thinks it's already charging, and will simply switch off when it runs out of juice.

I figure it's much more likely to be a hardware problem ( time to revert and dig out the receipt? :( ), but just want to ask the forum if anyone has had the problem while running OpenSensation or any other CM9 ROM and if they've managed to fix it? Maybe apply some contact cleaner in the micro-USB socket?

Thanks.

Bad week for Bluetooth

Sometime during this past week's Nightlies, Bluetooth stopped working. Fortunately, I had a nandroid from a date when it did work (06/11) so I decided to try and determine when it stopped working by performing a full-wipe install for all of this week's Nightlies. Here's the results:

cm-9.0.0-OpenSensation-12.06.10-pyramid.zip - Works perfectly
OpenSensation-20120611-NIGHTLY.zip - Works perfectly
OpenSensation-20120612-NIGHTLY.zip - Works perfectly
OpenSensation-20120613-NIGHTLY.zip - BT won't turn on
OpenSensation-20120614-NIGHTLY.zip - BT turns on but won't discover device
OpenSensation-20120615-NIGHTLY.zip - BT turns on but won't discover device
OpenSensation-20120616-NIGHTLY.zip - Phone won't boot
OpenSensation-20120617-NIGHTLY.zip - BT turns on but won't discover device

The kernel used for this little experiment was whatever was natively included. So something bad happened after the 06/12 nightly. I'm including a couple of logcats (06/13 and 06/17) to hopefully help detemine root cause.

The radio I'm using is 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2. My BT device is a Motorola H17 BT headset.

Fixing the wakelock has caused a few issues with bluetooth, it is being worked on.

Small update for you all.
I'm going to be stopping working on OS. Waiting 190 minutes for each compile just to test a small fix is getting too much.

I thank all those that previously donated, I was able to get a used q6600 PC, however that didn't last and the CPU fried. (Probably why I got it cheap was that is was on it's way out)

I've asked TamCore if he will take over on OpenSensation.

I have enjoyed the time I spent in doing this, however with work I don't have time to work on this during a week now, as the last few updates have shown working on it during the week, staying up while it compiles results in a few bug's.

The repo's as they are now do suffer from audio routing and I will try to re-port the routing fix over the next few day's, but that will be my last contribution.

Am I correct to assume that the audio routing fixes will not be merged officially with CM?

Well, that's a sad news. Thanks for your great work vorbeth.
Nope, let's hope that cm9 Development will not die and that this rom will stay good and functional. Don't want to go Back to sense.

Vorbeth, with your hard work and through the work of your fellow developers, you have made our Sensations and their owners much happier. I know I tried to go back to a Sense ROM last month and my Sensation hated me for it. ;)

Thank you sincerely!

Just so everyone has a working updated build I'll upload mine
It doesn't have the audio fixes since it kept giving me no signal at all
Wifi works
Bluetooth wake is still there since there seems to be issues stated by Vorbeth
Gtalk is has working audio
LPA is enabled
Wifi-calling is included

http://d-h.st/RFY

Included a zip in attachments to remove wifi-calling (Un-tested so backup first)

15 minutes to go

Other than the kernel change for Bluetooth wake and WiFi calling that's the state my repo is in now. (dont use WiFi calling here so didn't include it, was going to make it a flashable pack)

Cm devs are looking at the audio routing issue as it also effects some Samsung devices too.

You want to take over the thread blah?
If so ill try to get a mod to give you ownership of op and 2nd post.

    This thread is about OpenSensation and not about my kernel!!

    Disclaimer
    Your warranty is now void.

    I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
    Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    Known Bugs / Fixes
    • MHL doesn't works as expected
    • Bluetooth may not work perfectly on every device
    • Not compatible with SuperWipe.zip
      • Use 4EXT's full-wipe function
    • Your bug is not listed here?
    Difference between OpenSensation and CyanogenMod
    • we have 1080p, they don’t
    • we have OTA Updates, they don’t
    • we have PDroid patches included, they don’t
    • we have removed RomManger and Terminal Emulator (bloatware, still available in Play Store)
    USB-OTG
    The USB-OTG stuff is a little bit tricky. It looks like some Sensations have a self powered USB Host port which allows them to use an USB-Stick without external power. But most Sensation don’t have it.
    You need
    • USB-OTG y-cable (like this)
      • (or a normal USB-OTG cable if your attached device has it’s own power supply)
    • in case you’re using an USB-OTG y-cable you need an external power supply
      • I recommend you a mobile battery with a female USB-Port
    This ROM will mount the first partition of your attached device (fat32 & ntfs only!) to /mnt/usbdisk. If you wan’t to use more partitions/devices I recommend you to use Chainfire’s StickMount App
    Requirements
    • HTC Sensation (XE and 4G sould work, too)
    • custom Recovery (I recommend 4EXT)
    • 3.32 or 3.33 Firmware (ROM is tested with 3.32 firmware, so use 3.33 at your own risk!)
    • S-OFF (ROM should work without S-OFF, but you might need 4EXT’s SmartFlash to properly flash the boot.img)
    • SDCard
    Download
    FAQ
    • Can we have XYZ from Sense?
      • NO!
    • “Is there a way to have FM Radio?”
      • No, there is no way to build it from source. Try Spirit FM.
    Thanks & Credits
    • Vorbeth, intervigilium, elelinux and cretin45 (for bringing CM9 to the Sensation)
    • intervigilium, faux123 and showp1984 (for the kernel)
    • blahbl4hblah (for his tutorial to compile OpenSensation which brought me to where I am now)
    • aquariumsoft (for UpdateMe)
    • SebastianFM (for his USB-OTG patch)
    • pastime1971 (for the updated PDroid patches)

    What's the current status of LPA?

    Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

    In a few hours after I compile, it will be enabled & audio routing band-aided

    leaving just bluetooth, mhl, full HW acceleration & a few wakelock issues to be fixed.

    Hell, I started out on this laptop, so may as well finish on it.
    i'll stick around continuing to work on this for a while yet.

    Guess I just got that pissed off waiting one night I thought "f**k it"

    I will continue until such a point that cm and my repos have exactly the same functions.
