[HTC Sensation] Sillysod:
I like this phone a lot but it will come down to the processor benchmarks vs. Galaxy II (not that I will get the ugly iPhone wanabe but very good Galaxy, though I want a mega phone!)

Also why have they decided to go with only 768MB RAM and 1GB Internal storage? Don't want to have to be forced to mess about with App2SD etc.
[HTC Sensation] MrHassell:
Nice phone, not breaking new ground..

HD2 and later HD7 were actually good in running Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7 and Android as dual boot options, actually made them quite ground breaking devices.

Q: What is ground breaking about the Sensation?

A: Sensation 4G - HTC Watch service for premium movie and TV shows. wow..

The next generation of high end smart phones are dual core and run Linux. Sure I'm doing this (running Ubuntu) on a Sony Xperia X10 and so are many other devices, but check the Motorola Atrix with it's webtop and dock.. kind of blows this and any of the others in terms of innovation - imho.

From what I understand the Pyramid ROM has already been ported to the Desire DH... :o
[HTC Sensation] :
Sorry to say the webtop dock sucks. The full HDMI mirroring is more useful then buying a dock for a phone which is unstable and over priced. Its a good idea but not implemented well. Sense is more or less about making it easier to the user.
[HTC Sensation] Araf:
same question from me...

I hope Sensation is more open and easily to be rooted, like other "old" HTC product (desire, vision, dhd etc). Because my Incredible S still can not be rooted up till now unless you get S-0ff mode from the first time you open the box.
[HTC Sensation] divinewisdom:
someone explain what the instant camera capture? are they finally fixing the delay between the snap and actual picture capture? its been bugging me for the longest time.
[HTC Sensation] :
Snap soon as you press no wait time anymore. Instant capture. Funny since soon as cyanogen sees it he will add most likey.
[HTC Sensation] nxdu:
The website I read said that it's "faster" but not instantaneous, the video I watched also show that it's a lot faster now (1 second), but still not instantaneous.
[HTC Sensation] divinewisdom:
wonder why they just cant make it instant. the delay blows when trying to take a picture of a specific moment; espcially kids. thats something I miss from the iphone.
[HTC Sensation] TechAnimal:
The iPhone isn't instantaneous either. Just quick...
[HTC Sensation] ericc191:
Is the g2x being pretty much written off because it only has 512mb of ram? I honestly feel it is the best of the three.
[HTC Sensation] dangerousp:
The sensation is even faster as you can start the camera app allready in the lockscreen, and from the video I've seen the captures are made in tens of second.
[HTC Sensation] vinokirk:
Well for me it's the dual core CPU and the qHD screen

The sensation is dual core and runs an OS loosely based on Linux.

If its part of the camera app built into Sense then it may be difficult if not impossible to add to CyanogenMod as they use different frameworks.

job benifites

hello xda,u know cuz dad works for htc,these things run by , all these info are just of the upcoming device,as dad said that htc might change the amount of ram(higher),might add a graphic processing unit(maybe nvidia), but in the end,the device is fast like hell.....all hail sense! all hail sense!
[HTC Sensation] ljwnow:
too bad its t-mobile exclusive in the states
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
It's available in EU, Asia market also
[HTC Sensation] sdlopez83:
Im returning Atrix tomorrow. Def want this. Too bad we have to wait for so long. Ps webtop is sick. No one actually has the dock. Its hacked. To just plug the hdmi straight into the phone
[HTC Sensation] sabo2000:
Everyone is wanting the best phone out there ( agreed) well, in three months there will be something better, get what you like...i want a Sensation! Samsux build quality is horrible
[HTC Sensation] alistairfang:
can anyone explain this?

from htc website

Internal Memory

768 MB RAM, 4 GB Internal Storage (1 GB user addressable)

it looks like, to me, it has 3G for apps and 1G for user.

compared to Atrix with 2.5G for apps and 13.5G for user, it isn't really that bad from apps perspective.

am i reading it wrong?

[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
My pre-order will be here on 01-06-2011 :D

Can't wait :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
You are absolutely right. There is a really huge lack of internal memory for the Sensation. You're going to have to rely on your microSD card for basically all media that you put on your phone. I don't know about you but that may be a huge deal breaker for me. I've already burned through 25GBs of space on my microSD which is sure to grow to an even larger amount in the near future. I need room to grow and if the Sensation isn't going to give it to me, the only other option is to either get another microSD card which is annoying or get another phone like the SGSII which has a ton of internal memory that's available for use.
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Can't wait gonna be epic. Now not getting the g2x...

[HTC Sensation] darksulfur5:
I don't know guys. The Sgs 2 seems to beat it on every aspect other that the qHD (drools) screen and instant capture. Build quality its arguable. But idk, more ram, better camera, way more internal storage, possible NFC, samsung processors seems to always outperform their qualcom counterpart and its light as hell. Im on the fence on this one =/
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Better spec on paper don't mean nothing to me, I'm in it for development even though Sensation is lock but i believe it can be unlock. Look at the Samsung and htc section tell me which has more dev? Plus its TouchCrap ew... And plasticly.
[HTC Sensation] darksulfur5:
I wouldn't even consider the sgs2 if it weren't for the super amoled plus display, samsung usually getting better battery life and 16 gb of internal. I love htc phones and sense, but recently, it seems like htc is releasing semi-substandard or the same phones again and again instead of the innovative ones I love them for (ie. Nexus one). And the dreaded locked bootloader will be a huge pain in the back for someone like me who isn't exactly a pro but still wants custom roms and mods. Help me out guys.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
I own a Vibrant before, super armoled lcd plus and Slcd ain't much diferent... A phone is a phone I have Computer for playing games plus SGII is 200 to 300 more than Sensation. And with htc you'll get build quality and Sense 3.0 more dev, plus clockwork recovery not some lame odin, kies crap. Also pointing out that Samsung uses totally different file system. They can't even port TouchWiz to Nexus S and it's the same manufacturer what a joke, talk about porting sense? Hell they've been doing it almost a year still half baked. It's just TouchWiz recook, rebuild over and over again.
[HTC Sensation] harveydent:
The SGS 2 has an unlocked bootloader and Samsung has RELEASED THE SOURCE CODE. Which one will developers go to, you think?

I'm in the same boat, I've been with HTC since their WM days, and would prefer an HTC phone, but their recent releases have left me a tad wary
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
What are you gonna do with the unlock bootloader? FLASH TouchWiz over and over again? MIUI? CM7 if you're lucky.
[HTC Sensation] darksulfur5:
I was expecting more helpful replies rather than sarcastic kneejerking comments on this forum. Guess thats too much to ask sometimes.
[HTC Sensation] darksulfur5:
Yeah, same here. I guess Ill have to wait till both comes out and go solo on this one.
[HTC Sensation] Longcat14:
It's funny how you bash Samsung like that, when they already released the full source code for the GS2, so you can put whatever you want on there. I'm sure CM7 will come out for that phone as soon as there's a US release.

And the fact that the sensation will have a locked bootloader, will probably make dev's go over to the GS2.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Why its intresting for devs to go to the easier phone?

Its intresting to hack complex things and the Sensation will be the better phone, for developers too. Because HTC is HTC :D Sense 3.0 will kill your hardware specs :P
[HTC Sensation] MartijnMM:
Most will go for the Evo3D/sensation, thats a fact.

But i have to say that Samsung scored big with this device,

still don't know why HTC didn't put abit more memory in their

device.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
You don't get it do you? SamSux uses different file system, plus tw 4.0 is totally different from old tw. You know how long it takes to get cm7 on G series? Heh... Good luck... buy what ever you like. I stated above spec don't mean crap to me. I'm in it for development.
[HTC Sensation] darksulfur5:
I guess its important to all of you developer guys, but to many of us, we just want a phone that works out of the box. I've been with HTC Since 2002 or so, and don't get me wrong they are great, but recently, its as if they started losing that shine that's been attracting me to them and the lockdown doesnt help either. Its as if they are releasing the same things again and again. Sure sense 3 and instant shot along with qhd is going to be great, but its also going to have battery issues, a problem htc phones had for a while. If I'm getting a phone, I'd rather have one like sgs 2 that just works (I'm not saying the sensation will be non-functional by any means). Cause face it, the only reason many of us mod our phone is to make it work right/better to begin with. As much as I want to get the sensation, I'm going to go with the sgs2 after much thought. Samsung has been trying hard to improve their pr, which really means better for the end user. If I'm paying 500 for a phone, might as well get the one that has the better battery life, better camera, more ram and I really do love super amoled plus. Just my two cents as someone who is a tech enthusiast and nothing more. You guys are more than welcome to state your own opinion and try to see it from my point of view or your own.

P.S. Might go with the Nexus 3 if it exists or comes out on time.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
Lol, someone needs to send this thread to HTC and have them look at it.

Do any of you think they will have more iternal storage on the sensation in the US release? If you look at more phones from HTC the UK versions have less eternal storage and other stuff.. maybe thats why they are taking so long to release it for tmobile? because just think of how many people WONT get it because of that, it makes me almost say no.. 32gb sdcards arent cheap unless you buy a crap one from ebay.

Also, i am not seeing anything about the Atrix on this thread, just samsuck.

Wouldnt the Atrix be better than this phone with the sense ROM? (besides the camera)

Hoping for US version to be better than European version

+1 That's what I'm hoping for now, that the US version has a bit more ram and a bit more internal. SD cards are not cheap, specially higher capacity or good quality ones. If not, then the SGS2 it is. Oh, and an unlocked bootloader wouldn't hurt either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pavaccar:
Im trying to find a rom but I cant I want it to have OC and Sense and have Gingerbread can anybody help me out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
there isn't one yet. All the sense based gingerbread roms, are based off of the leaked desire hd/desire s rom, and source hasn't been released yet, hence no kernel development.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pavaccar:
So is there anyway to port a Desire HD Kernel to Inspire 4g?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
They are ported for froyo not ginger.

[Defy General] FFU5y:
Hi,

I (foolishly) tried to upgrade to Telstra Defy (build #JRDNEM_U3_2.26.0) to Pays-Rom ([ROM] Pays-ROM Defy v5.1 Froyo with Ginger feeling [3.4.3-11 based!]). I played with it briefly, couldn't get Clockwork Recovery (defy version) to run, and so wanted to go back to the original Telstra soft (from http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy)

I've used RSD Lite to restore that telstra soft before (from Chinese froyo) and it worked fine. However, when I do it now (after having used RSD to apply the 3.4.3-11 Motorola SBF from this thread ) then I get a blank screen - not even a Moto logo - when I try to boot (like this guy I think).

I reflashed back to the 3.4.3-11 Motorola SBF and the phone is booting happily again. However, I don't really want to be stuck on this - particularly since I can't actually get System Recovery (i.e. Clockwork Recovery) to go so can't seem to install Pays-Rom.

The magic question is: by upgrading to 3.4.3-11 from the Pays-Rom pack, have I removed my ability to go back to my original rom? If not, can anyone think what I may be doing wrong with my downgrade to kill the phone?

Cheers.

Was asking why system recovery was not working - answer was because I had failed to disable USB debugging. Oops. Main problem remains though.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
If you flashed a full SBF, then you can't go back to 2.1. It's not bad as you think, since 2.2 in every country is about to be released. When this happens you will need only a nandroid backup...
[Defy General] samorgs:
I have done a similar thing, flashed 3.4.2_155-002 and now cant downgrade back to the default Telstra rom. Not to concerned at the moment as I am using Color ROM from here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021742. It is based on this SBF, 3.4.2-155-2 deblur. Just follow the installation instructions and you should have no trouble. Very fast and deblurred. every thing works fine on my Defy, including clockwork recovery.

Only problem I may have is not being able to downgrade to stock if the phone has to go back to telstra for anything.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
I flashed the EC01 rom and modem early on Sunday and did the usual *228 stuff. 5 hours after flash I get a voice mail notification but no missed call (here we go again). So sadly I find myself back on the DL09 modem.

Signal on EC01 modem at home -91dBm.

Same place 3 minutes later on the DL09 modem -79dBm.

It sucks that I'm happy with everything else on this device except for what it is intended to be. (A F'ing PHONE). So your millage may vary just keep that old modem handy.

good day.

Doesn't work for me. I was having missed calls issue on EB01 and had it on EC01 yesterday for the first time. Right now I'm in the process of full DI01 restore to get EA28 OTA. EA28 works the best for me, shame that we don't have EA28 modem files so full restore is needed when something is not right with new modem.

[General Questions and Answers] SoreThumb:
Here's the scoop.

I have a friend who's Japanese, but living in America. After his time in Japan, he's been wanting a smart phone.

Downside, as you can guess, he needs to interact with Japanese media a lot-- EG: Twitter, forums, e-mail, projects, etc.

So as you can guess from the above, he needs the ability to input Japanese text on a mobile device, as well as read it.

Keep in mind that I've rooted a few android phones, as well as flashed a custom rom on them-- so I have a bit of experience if I need a ROM out there that'd do this.

On the other side, though, I've heard iPhones do this already. Is this a compromise he'll need to make with regards to provider? I think I heard Blackberries may have the same strength, too..

Thanks for your help.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Omnichron:
Do you guys remember the droid 2 I found a while back? I installed GB 2.3.3 on it and was thinking of using it as a mobile minipc so to speak. wifi only. It has 16gb internal total memory and storage. It's blank.. don't know what happened to it there is no number to call whatsoever. So I wiped it clean and loaded gb 2.3.3 on it for fun browsing at home and hotspots. Is there an app for permanent flight mode too? I foind it very useful in saving battery and using only the wifi feature on it.:D

[Eee Pad Transformer General] drummr8:
I was able to sell my G Tab on ebay this past weekend for $345 shipped with Skinomi screen/back protectors. I only lost like $10 compared to what I paid for everything. Kind of a bummer since I only owned the G Tab for like a week lol. But oh well... I think the Transformer will be worth it.

Probably best to unload the G Tab now anyway, before it quickly starts to lose value.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidHam:
Auction just closed, got $335 + $15 shipping, came to $339.50 after paypal fees. After I take my MAC bluetooth keyboard back to bestbuy ill have (hopefully) ~$410 which should put me close to the Transformer, i hope.

It was a blast to use my gTab, now its time to move on to something new and let someone else enjoy the goodness =D

[Eee Pad Transformer General] drummr8:
It worked really well. Fitment of the back piece was kind of crappy (holes didn't quite line up) but for the most part, I was happy with it. It made the screen more responsive and improved viewing angles a bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
Thanks for the feedback.

I found a few others posting that the back pieces didn't fit quite right, but still worked.

Another member in the gtablet forum actually cut some carbon fiber backs for several of us so I'll have to see if he's still "in business" for this one. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drummr8:
Yeah the guy selling his own custom carbon fiber backs is a little bit more expensive though. Seems like it may be a higher quality product, but I'm not sure. The Skinomi kit comes with pieces for the sides of the tablet as well though.

Just go to your local Pawn Shop and look for a iPhone 2G. I did so and found one after visiting TWO pawn shops. Many pawn shops have a 24hr cash back return policy.

So what I did was purchase the iphone and took it to starbucks(Because there was no wifi in the store) activated the phone and called att to confirm that I was on the old Iphone 2G plan. Once that was over I immediately took the phone back and got my money back with NO questions asked.

Then I went into a AT store and had it switched to unlimited smartphone data..It took me less than an hour and it didnt cost me a dime!
