I read a reply in a thread which explained that the current ICS leak runs the CPU full speed, instead of scaling it, whenever the screen is on. This was the member's explanation for why some people notice their phones running hotter than on GB.
Is this true? And to the extent that it is true, is it true of the preceding leaks as well? I guess what I'm wondering is whether this is something that HTC might be hoping to resolve before going live with an OTA.

Your guess is as good as mine and I too read that same reply. I've been trying to figure this out since the leak came out. Some people aren't having any problems and some people are having all sorts of problems. I haven't been in the Rezound thread long but I'm not new to flashing and I've been going back on forth on doing the leak or waiting for either the source for kernel help or the official ota. I was thinking maybe it was "noob" mistakes but from alot of the posts it seems that experienced flashers are having problems as well. Scott has a kernel thread in the Dev section if you wish to follow that, if you aren't already. I know that all phones are created equal and there are some built better than others. So far I've been pretty fortunate in my phones. I've never had to take a phone in for repair that I didn't eff up myself.... Obviously, I'd like to think by the time we get the official ota all things will be resolved but you never know. When I had my Evo 3D it took the latest ota to solve alot of battery issues that we had. I know I don't answer your question but I too have similar ones myself. Be well.
The current leak/kernel that is having problems is part of a release candidate, we can only hope HTC resolves it before the update is finalized. I wouldn't be surprised if another leak/release candidate shows up in the near future, each one has fixed more issues found in the earlier leaks.

If I was in your shoes I would not take the leak. My phone is worse than bricked.
I can put the .11 GB kernel back on the phone with my old software, but the WIFI doesn't seem to work with the ICS radio firmware, and the thing's running hotter than ever.
I had no heat or battery life issues on the current GB -- all my problems began when I flashed the .22 leak. And as long as I'm stuck with these radios I don't think they'll get better. Your mileage may vary, but if it was up to me I wouldn't get in that car again.

Thanks for the heads up. From past flashing experience I have never seen a leak with a radio and firmware update. It's usually just a rom. With a leak this close I'm sure the ota isn't too far off and I'll just keep hanging around and root and flash once that drops. Thanks again.
I know if I were HTC/Verizon/ATT/Motorola... I'd be leaking any new builds right here on XDA. You couldn't find a better group of knowledgeable testers anywhere. In my mind, these leaks are on purpose, and I'd also guess there will be future releases that fix the issues the group here has found.
im running the latest leaked version and i have no heat problems whatsoever. i play hd games, on youtube for hours, etc...hottest its gotten was 120 degrees thats it. im running stock. as far as im concerned GB is dead to me
My phone doesn't get hot playing games on the leak, but you put that mofo to stream some music and it about burns through my pants in class, and then half my extended battery is gone. It is definately due to the scaling issue
Yea I see a lot of people saying they have heat and reboot issue but they are the same people asking newb questions if ya wipe everything, check the md5, flash the ruu, and do it right you will not have problems 99% of the time. Don't be afraid to update just because a couple user experience problems its not like some guy in his mom's basement made this leak its a leak from google got out god knows how but still built with their algorithm, software, and knowledgeable engineers. I would update sense 3.6 is way better than 3.5 and ics has a lot more backup options and a better user experience. I recommend you do just make sure to do a backup before you do so you can revert back if need be.

So i decided i wanted the new radio 3.39.10 so i flashed the leaked sprint rom. Didn't have enough time so I just kept it on my phone for a few days. One thing i noticed with this rom was everything was QUICK. Even icontact was smooth with no lagging or jittery scrolling. I also noticed memory consumption over a days time was very minimal. I would not be under 20mb free after an entire day.
That said, I've always liked dcd's roms and they always seemed faster than sprint roms. So i decided to flash to his newest 3.1.6. At first boot I had 25mb free compared to 22mb free with sprints. That was a plus, but i also noticed with the same applications installed on both that icontact was not smooth on scrolling anymore and my memory usage throughout the day would drop under 20mb easily.
Is it just me or does it seem like the sprint 3.49 rom has graphics acceleration and better memory management?
It's not just you..
everything runs faster on 3.49. Apps respond quicker and fewer hang ups and lock ups as well...

For Test Not For Sale
I installed the leaked Sprint ROM, and I did not have time to test it because I like DCD ROMS, so I tried 3.1.6, but it was not a good experience for me. I kept loosing and gaining signals, at some points it will not get the signal at all.
Till the day it just did not, and all my contacts were erased and my soft keys stopped working. So I reverted back to 3.04 which for me has been the most stable for me, with NO PROBLEM.
But please I have a problem, ever since I tried that Leaked Rom, and Flashed back to DCD 3.0.4, I get the message "FOR TEST NOT FOR SALE" at boot up. How do I get this message off please. I hate seeing that. I have flashed 3 times and it is still there

I'll chime in here too
The newest Sprint rom does seem much faster, I'm not sure if there is a pool size diff or what, but they take about the same ammount of time to boot up, and give or take a meg or two, about the same free mem.. The Sprint rom has a bunch of ugly sprint crap and themes(easily changed) but there is something to be said with having a nice new clean rom. Unfortunatly, I wouldn't use the 3.1.6, it seems to have too many issues with cell sig.... I was happiest on a rom called "________ Sexier Rom" But it had issues w/ AS. So right now, I'm sitting with the Sprint rom again.
You guys never cease to amaze me...
I don't know what probs you guys are having with 3.1.6. but everything works fine for me that sprint rom don't have no pizzaz!
gc14.....add some insight to this if you do not think its true. I'm going by actual usage though and have yet to have a rom as fast as the new sprint one.

This thread should be closed because everything said in it is moot. Since 3.1.1, these roms have been based off 3.49 and cleaned. Any differences are simply placebo.
well someone's acting a bit smug, aren't they.
gc14, many things go into DCD building a custom rom, often much more than just "cleaning up" a leaked rom. He's been in there in the XIP tinkering about which can cause night and day differences as far as performance and free memory from the "stock" leaked Sprint rom.
I'm not agreeing with anyone here (I haven't compared the two roms, right now testing some of no2chem's direct draw from the diamond support), however I felt the need to point out that your comments are neither helpful nor properly informed.
Unless you've conducted a test and posted your own thread about it that we don't know about, I'd write off your comments as mere speculation.
Someone asked for my insight...I gave it to them, period.
I know exactly what goes into building a custom rom. I didn't feel the need to go into all of it in this thread. As far as "tinkering in the XIP" goes, well, we'll just leave it at that.
Don't ask for me to post what I think, then get all bent out of shape when I post the truth. I won't say anything else about it, though trust me, my "speculation" isn't coming from nowhere and is very well informed.

Actually, you were technically asked to explain your cryptic condescending one liners.
You started with "You never cease to amaze me" and "This thread should be closed", without any explanation as if this was the memory leak, bluetooth, or some other bug that already have a million threads dedicated to it.
These are legitimate concerns that whether are placebo or not, deserve to be discussed and analyzed if people are noticing it.

Really? Because if you're saying that nothing has changed from 3.1.1, I really don't think you do. Do you even know what the XIP is, or what changing components into modules means?
I haven't posted in XDA much lately, so I'll give you the benefit of thinking I'm a n00b. Since it appears we haven't met, I'll assume you also didn't know that dcd and I go back to before he was releasing roms, and we've kept in touch behind the scenes, often part of a group that gets to test and debug before he releases new ones. Dcd has told me what he's done to these releases, and I can honestly say that he's changed it enough to barely resemble the leaked rom, far less match its performance verbatim.
Your comments are not only baseless, but juvenile.
I recommend that you control your sarcastic tone and don't post unless it is somehow constructive to the thread. Otherwise, you're going to piss off some people who won't want to help you when the time comes.
As far as whether or not this is true (dcd's being slower than leaked "stock"), I don't know since I haven't performed any tests. It is possible that something he's tweaked to free up memory has effected performance elsewhere in the rom (similar things have happened in earlier roms). The drivers should be similar, however, so its most likely not an acceleration issue.

there could be a slight difference due to cache sizes. people wanted more free ram, so i reduced cache. this reduces speed (but i didnt think it was noticable personally)
i did benchmark the 3.35 oemxipkernel vs 3.49 and found that 3.35 was actually a tiny bit faster, so i'm still using it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that was the first question you asked me during testing, whether or not speed was reduced due to the cache changes. I didn't notice any difference either.
Is there anything i need to know to minimize the shock of the adjustment? I'm just curious because the TB was epically developed for, rezound seems to be at a much younger place in the regard. Are there any other things i need to keep in mind?
you wont have much of a problem at all i feel... i had a Dinc and once u understand that u need to use amon ra recovery and the difference of using hboot to flash kernels i think u will be fine
So, if I am understanding the situation correctly, The three main things are:
Amon Ra is our recovery,
htc DEV to unlock is necessary (ie, your warranty is void)
Kernel through hboot (for now).
Just came over from a galaxy nexus myself but everything yojoe mentioned covered my initial confusion. The kernel through hboot really threw me off at first as in the past I had only ever used it for radio updates. As for dev scene, I came from an official google phone so I expected less development but as you stated it's really early for this phone anyways. Already though I'm loving the Sense based ICS roms (running cleanrom pro, personally) and Cyanogenmod 9 has made much progress if you are a fan (though no working ril yet).
Well i think everything will pick up for the rezound once the official ICS drops (devs can take it apart to learn how stuff works) and once S-Off is released.
I just left the tbolt for the rezound. The hardest thing to get used to (and its not that hard to get used to) is flashing the kernels. Other than that, this phone slaughters the tbolt.
I started with the evo 4g, which is a great phone. (Has the biggest dev following out of all of the phones i've had, thats the biggest thing I miss about the 4g)..then to the evo 3d, very nice phone, just not as many devs.
Then to the tbolt, very nice phone...but a major step back after having the 3d for awhile.
Now I have the rezound...hands down best phone I've ever had.
1 thing to remember though, from what I have seen you don't want to upgrade to the ICS ruu....I almost did this to run some of the newer roms (the ones without the patch for gb) But I have someone strongly advise me against this due to people having issues with the ruu, then wanting to downgrade back to gb. But you can't downgrade back to gb after upgrading to the ICS leak.
Just do some research and you'll figure it out.
I always wait a week or so after getting a new phone and let it run stock so I can see what it is like before I root it. But thats just me.
I'm actually glad I read this, as I was thinking about flashing the leak, and I hadn't seen that yet. I just flashed nils with the patch, so I don't want to be stuck on the leak if there isn't a way to downgrade yet.
OP, I went from the Tbolt to the bionic and now the rezound. So far I really like the rezound. Although I have only been using it for 2 days now, I do really like it. It seems like the main thing that is a "shock" to learn, so to speak, is the flashing for kernals compared to the Tbolt. But the trade off it ICS, which you couldn't daily on the Tbolt, or the Bionic. The bionic had a working RIL, but since you can't flash kernals there was no hardware acceleration or anything.
The locks on motorola devices is why i chose to stay with HTC. the TB was my first phone, but i think it was an awesome phone, just poorly supported by Verizon. My usb port is coming undone so i got a unused, new in box ReZound on ebay for 200 bucks (lucky auction). Lets just hope it doesn't have any issues hardware wise. Really cant wait to get the chance to run AOKP on this bad boy.
The previous posts sum up the differences well. The hardware on the Rezound is a huge improvement. I flashed the leaked ruu and have had not problems, but most of the ICS roms now have patches so you don't have to.
I just did the update to the leaked ICS and I couldn't be happier. First of all it was so easy to do. It's like a whole different phone. So fast and smooth. I think since our phone has the same specs as the skyrocket but with more pixels to push the note is hampered quite a bit. ICS I think makes better use of hardware acceleration and there fore speeds up the phone quite alot. Btw, since this rom isn't rooted will it still get the ota update when it comes out?

i tried the leak as well, did not like it at all, full of bugs and other issues. not to mention I lost root and my radio as well. tried to go back to Saurom, ended wiping out my external SD card aw well. so my Titanium and CWM backups were gone too. worst of all, it soft bricked the phone. that was likely my fault, but what an ordeal.
yeah, i'm gonna wait on a real DEV port, leaks, not so good for me.
I just find the battery life sucks on ics.
I liked it too for a few days until my touch screen started to become unresponsive. It got so bad i had to touch icons 2-3 times to get anything to work. I didn't notice a difference in battery life, but I wasn't looking for it either. I went back to stock ( after a struggle) and then back to Saurom ROM, which runs every bit as fast for me as ICS, and without the problems I experienced. I got 3500 quadrant scores on leaked ICS, and thats what I average on Saurom without over clocking.
I also ran into the problem of a few apps force closing with ICS, and others not being compatible. The whole experience was actually good because it taught me how to root and flash my phone, and I learned much to the terminology from this forum. This is an awesome site.
Is there any benefit really of going to an ICS leak vs staying on GB kernel with ICS ROM ( Axiom AOKP ICS)? (If I do flash to ICS leak at this time I'd stick to the ones where I can still fastboot to 181.) I am leery of anything that gets me stuck, because I'm still under warrantee and also afraid I mighty not be able to ota to the official release once it happens (certainly not holding my breath that it will happen today). Just wondering if anyone has a quick idea of what I would be gaining (and losing) if I went to the ICS leak after using this ROM. I know I would lose ROM control, which sucks, but I don't really know what I might gain. Thanks so much!
Edit: in particular, is hardware acceleration better on the leaks than on ICS roms not running on the leaks? Mostly: Does Netflix work with any of the leaks? Thanks

Hard to believe nobody has an opinion on this with how many posts I see about the leaks! Your opinions / advice will be greatly appreciated
Personally I avoid the leaks. They could be the official release or full of tons of bugs. My first priority is a functioning phone due to work, the bells and whistles are put on the back burner.
When ICS officially releases I don't want to lose my chances getting it by upgrading to a leak. Al though I'm sure the community will find a way to receive the OTA regardless of the current state of your phone, I'd rather not spend hours upon hours reverting back and forwards firmware-wise.
If you can deal with bugs and such then by all means go for the leak
At this poit in don't think is worth tring a leak, ics will be realeased soon (oh well not sure but i hope that is it XD) in the worst case waiting about 15 days is ok

I REALLY don't think that 15 days is the worst case scenario..
But anyway... Thanks for your opinions. However, I'm really looking for information from people who have tried the leaks.. Especially whether or not Hardware Acceleration is working better on leaked ICS vs ICS ROMs on GB Kernel. Those who have tried the leak, do you see any real benefit to running it vs running any of the ICS Roms that can be flashed over non-leaked firmware versions (.181 mostly)? Thanks
The dangers of the methods people are using to get these leaks running aren't worth the trouble in my opinion. 209 works pretty well from what Ive seen, but the BP tools thing seems to cause intermittent problems. Its a matter of how far you are willing to go to have it now.

Hello xda developers, i am new to this forum. Even tho i've used couple of guides from here i wasn't registered. So here is the thing:
My phone is the AT&T variant and is currently running GPe android 6.0 with OTA updates. When i was on sense 6/7 (i dunno) and 5.0.2 lollipop ( being rooted, unlocked, s-off) i was not experiencing any kind of casualties. When i proceeded to install the GPe, everything was perfect. But then i happen to open the camera app (Google's) and it starts making the buzzing noise and cant focus at all. my first thought was, maybe is the camera app. So i installed the latest version of htc one m8 camera and saw that it had the same issues. I'm starting to consider that this is a hardware problem. A friend told me to re-install everything as it was before this happend. Considering doing it but first i would like to ask you guya your opinion.
P.S: the front camera is just fine. The problem is on the rear one.
Change software (back to Sense) to eliminate the possibility that its a software issue.
Much easier than trying to eliminate the possibility of a hardware issue. Only way to do that, would be to replace the camera module.
Besides, if it worked fine on Sense, than suddenly doesn't work on GPE, its pretty suspicious.
It looks like it is a Hardware problem. Went back to sense and still the same problem.
I'm starting to think that this issue might have been triggered by the overheat during the software installation and it's many consecutives updates. It really did overheat a lot.
But anyways, i guess ill send it to someone to check just in case its not just the camera. It also happens to make the same static/buzz sound when i open the flashlight alone.

How did you go back to Sense? I'd suggest full RUU to stock, before concluding its not a software issue.

What does that mean "overheat a lot"? Folks often think the phone is overheating, when its not even close. It would probably have to burn you to hold it, before it did any actual harm to the electronics. Temps of over 60C (140F) are probably needed to do any damage.
The phone has safeguards that shut it down, well before temps that would cause permanent damage.
Well first of all, i didn't find a full RUU to stock. I used a custom rom. Do you mind leaving a link below so i can download the RUU?
my phones CID and MID are changed too, did it so i could go GPe. i didnt write down anywhere what my old MID and CID. Im just saying because i dont know if it would affect the instalattion process of an official RUU of sense to stock.
And about the heating topic, i don't know if the phone activates those security measures in case of overheating when you're flashing a rom or downloading/installing the updates you get via OTA. I installed the 5.0.1 lollipop (maowdroid's guide from youtube to convert htc one m8 to GPe) so, i had to go through like 3 updates downloads/install and the phone really got hot and never shutdown.

Wrong CID and/or MID will cause the RUU to fail (although SuperCID is fine). Finding the proper CID and MID is not hard, if you just search around the forums.
You can also try the current GPE RUU (and why didn't you just run that in the first place, instead of all the updates?). But my gut tells me to return to true AT&T stock for your device.

I see no reason why it wouldn't. Its a basic safety measure, so its probably enforced at all times the phone is powered on. HTC engineers are plenty smart enough to know that updates cause heat.

Again, saying the phone "really got hot" is not at all quantitative, and means little. Folks say stuff like this a lot on this forum; and when prompted for more info, its almost always the case that the phone was not even close to any excessive temperature. These devices get warm when under CPU load, all computer devices do. They are designed to tolerate a significant amount of heat, shutoff long before any damage is done, and heat damage is unlikely. As mentioned, it probably would have gotten too hot for you to even hold, before it can cause any actual hardware damage.
I'll be looking forward for a stock sense RUU but there's just something that i don't understand. How come, everyone who fallowed the guide to convert to GPe with OTA updates haven't experienced that problem? And if they do, im sure they were just a few. That's why i think i am more convinced that it could be a hardware issue.

How come, everyone who fallowed the guide to convert to GPe with OTA updates haven't experienced that problem? And if they do, im sure they were just a few. That's why i think i am more convinced that it could be a hardware issue.

Things often don't install correctly when patching by OTA. Especially since user data is retained, and as you mentioned multiple OTA updates. Folks frequently complain about random bugs after OTA updates. Sometimes, these are cleared by doing a factory reset, sometimes not.
RUU is a much cleaner install, and completely wipes/re-writes every single partition (around 41 of them).
Which again, makes me wonder why you did an RUU to an older version GPE, than 3 OTAs; instead of just RUU to Marshmallow GPE.
That's an interesting fact i didn't know. Very good point.
Well, in the end it was not a software problem.
**** me.
I'm facing the same problem right now
same here, phone buzzes/vibrates when torch is activated?? any ideas??
