Omg I don't care how or what when but that in my eyes looks ****ing sick its crazy nice. and finally sense is super hooked sporting a fewer cooler looking options. Its like they read my mind and put it into the phone loving the freely customized lock screen for getting to different apps and also opens the damn phone. IMO I love the little things that is what makes it different then all the other duals out there can't wait to see this in action.
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
Absolutely Amazing. I am sure those numbers for the SGS II can go higher with a few tweaks here and there.
[HTC Sensation] android_master:
Don't know regarding SGS 2 going even higher,but HTC Sensation will definitely go much higher,1163 can't be a final score of the retail product
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
Yes that is for certain for the HTC...

I also hope that the Delhi Event doesn't bring any disappointing news today. Only 2 hours left.
[HTC Sensation] ryude:
Hey look the HTC Atrix 4G!
[HTC Sensation] MikeyMike01:
My Captivate has gotten scores that high before. I don't put much stock in quadrant scores, unless it's the paid version that shows the individual scores.

540 x 960 slcd VS 480x800 Samoled

Thats what i think about.

Will i miss 540 x 960 if i go with Samoled ?

And in a Hand-on with Sensation they was very positive about viewing angles.

So is the only thing better on Samoled better blacks ?

SGS2 only have 269 White, cd/m2 at 100 % brightness.

iPhone 4.. 483 cd/m2

Is that anything we will notice ?

Is SGS2 like an old plasma that cant show a white picture in winter OS like a lcd ?

Sorry for my bad english but i hope you understand what i mean :-)
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
Now you know what to choose..........
[HTC Sensation] moparman:
Very good...But i dont want to look like a fool when my friend takes up HTC Sensation and my display is grey and his is crisp white and higher res
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
You cant win them all buddy.

The whites will be better on the SLCD, but the colors will POP on the sAMOLED +.
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
If you both gonna look only at the homescreen and do nothing else you could be right... (i personaly don't think SA+ screen are that bad compared to the Sensation one)

But if you both use the same thing on the phone, i bet your friend thinks his one is broken;)

edit: Just watched some Sensation movies and there was one question in my mind:

Did they contracted someone from Disney for the design of the new sense.....????
[HTC Sensation] moparman:
I hope so :-)

Sigh...Im going crazy with this wait.

I need it now.

Or atleast a good review to read
[HTC Sensation] EinPaul:
For Sensation the official confirmation is in HTC's press release, too. I meant for SGS II.
[HTC Sensation] -A-P-M-:
I had HTC phones in last years, right now I still have HTC Desire (for a year now). HTC Sensation is OK, but I think I will get Galaxy S2, because it has better hardware in a smaller package (much thinner). Also Im a little bored with Sense. Still before it will be available in my country, Im sure there will be a few Galaxy S2 vs HTC Sensation comparisons.
[HTC Sensation] rdy2go:
I would never give up my Samsung sound quality for usually crappy HTC loudspeaker and noisy sound output in general. Crappy, washed out colors and blurry focus are HTC trademarks compared to excellent photo quality of Samsung since Omnia days.

BUT...

The most important difference is for geeks, flash addicts, HTC has enormous advantage here.

Coming back to my HTC Desire for a while (waiting for my SGS2) I see the total gap between SGS and HTC Desire in terms of custom roms, kernels, especially Cyanogen Mod support.

If SGS2 appears to have crappy firmware as it was the case with SGS (one) before 2.2.1 update it will hurt a lot compared to HTC experience, where modders will port Cyanogen mod for instance in 2-3 weeks to enjoy pure non-bloatware experience.

Pleas consider these factors before making your own decision.

My own is to go for SGS2 'cause I believe more and more in Samsung software quality based on my excellent experience with stock latest froyo firmwares for SGS (one).
[HTC Sensation] moparman:
I hope there will be alot of devs supporting SGS2.

Maybe if HTC is locked and SGS2 is not.
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
Well I wouldn't expect to see custom ROMs for the Sensation within the first few weeks, the bootloader will have to circumvented before that...
[HTC Sensation] kbkrogs:
Any one know if Samsung changed the file system in SGSII?
[HTC Sensation] -A-P-M-:
Yes, filesystem in SGS2 is EXT4 and not RFS (also RFS isn't supported in Gingerbread anymore).
[HTC Sensation] sixstring:
Will the full internal storage (16 / 32 GB) be useable for apps on the SGS2 ?
[HTC Sensation] faddys123:
Wait the senseation is 4gb internal n comes with a 8gb SD card
[HTC Sensation] rdy2go:
Solid stock experience is my primary concern, hopefully developers will help tweaking the device not "repairing its crappy software as it was with lag fixes for SGS (one) at the beginning (Eclair 2.1 before famous JM1 ROM update).

Early adopters are always some kind of guinea pigs, to help test device further.

Release time pressure is enormous, software can always be fixed, hardware - rather not.

That's why I chose SGS2 over HTC (anything HTC) - crappy speakers and camera are so sad these days :)

I wonder if SGS2 GPS experience is going to surprise us negatively but I "feel" under my skin Samsung learns fast on its mistakes and it's going to be perfect.

Which is contrarty to HTC, they repeat the same mistakes over and over again (camera/speakers/too many devices).
[HTC Sensation] android_master:
3Gb reserved for Sense & other works;) Only 1Gb for apps
[HTC Sensation] -A-P-M-:
1gb internal
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
You can use only 550mb of that gig ;)
[HTC Sensation] sixstring:
Is that true ? :eek:

What about the SGS2 ?
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
SGS2 has 1,68GB

[HTC Sensation] d3sm0nd:
Can only agree with you! I was a loyal HTC customer but now I'm changing.
[HTC Sensation] sixstring:
Why do they do this ? :mad:

I think this is one MAJOR drawback in comparison to the iPhone which allows you to use almost all of the internal storage for apps....
[HTC Sensation] EleCtrOx666:
Since Gingerbread, A2SD is far more better, apps are really very small on internal storage when moved to SD.
[HTC Sensation] sixstring:
Yes, I know. I'm currently using a Nexus One...

But I still think it's stupid.

I have a lot of apps moved to SD, but I am still running out of space all the time. :(
[HTC Sensation] touness69:
Of course RFS is supported by Gingerbread... it's an android as another one, nothing different in terms of restriction

BTW the 2.3.3 update for the Galaxy S is still using RFS
[HTC Sensation] rdy2go:
Rfs is not bad in itself, ext4 is not magic cure. Previous problems with rfs were caused by flawed kernel modules, Samsung obviously screwed it. But now it's fixed and rfs or not rfs simply doesn't matter for regular users.

I can imagine flawed ext4 implementation as well. It's more reliable because whole linux os community is behind it, rfs is Samsung proprietary.
[HTC Sensation] Mikulec:
any sources on that statment?

EDIT: found this: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-galaxy-s-2s-filesystem-confirmed-ext4-d.html

I hope its true.
[HTC Sensation] celinae:
Really like the look of the HTC Sensation.

Sorry for the newbie question but does anyone know if it has a retina equivalent display or not? I think this might be an iPhone killer but the thing I love most about my iPhone 4 is the retina display.
[HTC Sensation] unnddd:
The PPI is not the same: the iPhone has a smaller screen and a higher resolution. The resolution of the display is not the only thing that matters, though, and the HTC Sensation beats the iPhone in almost every other way when it comes to hardware.
[HTC Sensation] celinae:
Yeah - I have been reading about HTCs and I am 100% going to get rid of my iPhone now. I'm so fed up with it. Can't wait to get my hands on a HTC and start customising it properly.

If the display on the Sensation is still high that's good enough for me. Was just wondering if it was retina display quality because I love the crispness of it on my i.

How about the limit for 550mb or whatever it was (mentioned earlier in the thread) for Apps? Is that actually going to be a real issue? I can't believe they would put such a restriction on such a capable phone.
[HTC Sensation] XDA mark:
I'm also trying to decide between the GS2 and Sensation. That Sensation has a QHD display, which is a pretty good thing.

I think holding both devices in my hands once will help me decide. I will see how they feel in the hand, how their build quality is and how the screens are. Is QHD really that big a difference? Or does that 50% boost in sub-pixels on the GS2 make the difference almost unnoticed?

One bad thing I have just learned is that damn 1,7 GB for apps limit on the GS2 -.- How do you think we will get iPhone like games of 800MB if there is so little storage? I know there is APPS2SD but still.. why only 1.7 GB?
[HTC Sensation] golf2vr6:
You know what is bad....550mb limit like the Sensation ;)

And why do you think you can't use the 16/32GB that comes within the SGS2?
[HTC Sensation] XDA mark:
Yeah that's even worse :P

Well I read on the previous page that there will be only 1.68 GB available for Apps. Now I assume the Apps2sd enabled apps will use that of what remains of the 16 GB. But you know, why not just let ALL the memory be used for Apps? You know, like the simple way on the iPhone. 16GB, for your apps, music, videos and all the other crap you want to trow on there.

Anyway, it will be a huge improvement over my HTC Desire :D

ps: Im kind of pissed now so I may be looking at the bad sides of things xD

Ps2: Wow look what I just found: http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-scores-an-initial-3-000-on-quadrant

Really it's either sense or touch wiz and Samsung are really getting it right this time but I want HTC sense but if we could get sense on the galaxy s 2 :-D
[HTC Sensation] rdy2go:
HTC sense launcher desperately needs major revamp. Sense apps are okay and better then htc but I prefer touch wiz apps with launcher pro as launcher.
[HTC Sensation] Brambo84:
For those who wanna have a sense like feeling on their Android they might consider mobile shell:

engadged: app-review-spb-shell-3d-for-android/

it´ll cost 15$ But i used to have it on my omnia (the first one with wm6.1) and it used to be pretty good.
[HTC Sensation] android_master:
OK,friends have made up my mind,getting extremely positive feedbacks from everyone whoever have used or using SGS 2.

Eldar has said regarding 50% more battery improvement in SGS 2 compared to SGS:eek::D

This is really great news,also almost all of its benchmark are very good.

So getting SGS 2 in May;){there are already reports of its launch in India around the same date as in Korea,25th April to be exact}
[HTC Sensation] cvenk:
I'm getting SGSII . it's 8.5mm vs. HTC S 11+mm.

I have N1 now, and must go thinner.
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
Looks fantastic bro. I was hoping that the battery life is talked about to give us a heads up.
[HTC Sensation] touness69:
Either this phoe is the phone of the year or this guy praises it too much . Or is it just me ?
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
I would like to think its the Phone of the year. ;)

just cause I dont want to Jinx the device I am getting!
[HTC Sensation] XDA mark:
From the way I see it:

GS2: Best screen (real blacks, beautiful colors, energie efficient), best processor, more storage, probably better camera, probably better battery life (larger battery + screen is inproved to use less energie), thin and light, NFC for future

Sensation: Sense 3.0, QHD screen (a higher resolution, how much sharper will it actually look?), HTC Build quality is usually good.

Now considering we are on XDA, most people will use custom ROMS. So for me, the Sense 3.0 vs TouchWiz 4.0 doesn't really matter. There's a big chance I might end up using a Stock Gingerbread ROM.

Either way, they are both amazing devices. We sometimes forget the many, many people with a simple Nokia/BlackBerry. Only then do we realize, Galaxy S II or HTC Sensation, we are using amazing devices :)
[HTC Sensation] vinokirk:
the qHD on the Sensation does it for me. The lack of NFC is a bit worrying as rumours are, its all going to kick off this year.

I just hope the bootloader is cracked sooner rather than later.
[HTC Sensation] vinokirk:
Lol, my old Nokia 7650 is an iphone killer!
[HTC Sensation] sckc23:
1.7GB is more than enough IMO. I managed to install 150+ apps (inc. ~50 games) on my HTC Desire with only 140MB internal memory to start with. Though it seems ridiculous that Sensation only has 550MB:confused:
[HTC Sensation] dinan:
I think the Sensation has NFC as well even though it wasn't explicitly stated. If you look at all the pics of the battery cover it has similar contacts to the nexus S indicating an NFC antenna.

Anyway, as for energy efficiency I think that only applies when darker colors are used. SAMOLED is extremely inefficient at displaying whites and even an 18% power reduction will still make it inefficient compared to an SLCD displaying whites. But I agree, I'd rather have the nice blacks and contrast. Also SAMOLED viewing angle and glare have always been better as well as pixel response time which is MUCH better on SAMOLED - too much ghosting on LCDs.

For me, it's the SGS2 hands down. I have faith in the quad core MALI and adreno GPU's have always seemed to lag behind the competition and I don't think the adreno 220 will be that great especially compared to the iPad2's dual core SGX543's.
[HTC Sensation] xXNCHAMPXx:
You all say the SGSII is the phone of the year, but I would wait with that till the iphone5 is released ;)

Not that I like iphone, but its a bit early to say the SGSII is the phone of the year ;)
[HTC Sensation] dhruvmalik:
The SGS II might become the phone of the year in the Android World.

iPhone 5 will have its own glory I am sure.
[HTC Sensation] DVC1985:
I'd think the winner would depend on how it is judged. Popularity vs technological achievement. :p

Here in NL SGS1 was phone of the year 2010....no no for iphone4;)

Guess the same is gonna happen to SGS2 and iphone5.
[HTC Sensation] Master05:
Honestly I don't are about popularity, here in germany so many people walk around with their stupid overpriced (yes, I say that knowing the SGS2 isn't cheap at all but you get something for what you pay!) iphones...so I'll have a damn nice phone that will be at least as good as "Ipaybigmoneyfornithingphone 5" plus it's a spot on as not everybody's having it :)

I know I'm just going to buy which ever one comes to Canada first :D
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
qHD

qHD on 4.3in screen will be brilliant. Just look at different high res images or even 1080p video on a qhd screen or higher pixel density (retina)...

the only thing i miss about iphone 4 was the pixel density when viewing pictures it was breathtaking (great for people that actually use photos to examine every small detail) QHD is close and with a 4.3in screen its a no brainer for me..

I love AMOLED with my nexus s but make me a amoled with qhd next year perhaps? i wont go for something that is 480 800 just going to blow up my current 4in view a little bigger pshhh

for now im going to go for the qHD Sensation this yr boysss
[HTC Sensation] android_master:
I think,it will also come down to which becomes available first,which in all likelihood is SGS 2.

But then the new Sense is even great,i am still on MicroMod 2.2 Froyo Sense Rom on my N1 just for the sense;)
[HTC Sensation] zok-star:
far out those batteries have got to go!!!
[HTC Sensation] viny2cool:
HTC launches 5 phones to beat the competition and Samsung release one phone....like Samsung Galaxy s was most selling Android Device ever...

Even in this comparison between HTC sensation and SGS 2,......I think Samsung beat HTC again......Even tho I dont know how good TouchWiz 4.0 will be...But still it will be better then HTC sense...And I am hoping it will be easy to root and Custom Rommed as Current galaxy S series...Looking forward to buy this phone...
[HTC Sensation] sabo2000:
Sensation all the way!

I can not do the Samsung, sorry after many years of their horrible build quality I just can not do it, and the lack of support from Samsung is abysmal. Everyone is post quadrant scores those are so easily faked, do not get me wrong GPU and CPU I think the Samsung is better, their screens are really good, beyond that I can not say much for them. I will stick to HTC everyday. A2SD for me makes the storage issue irrelevant. NFC will not take off for at least a year, possibly two. By then the QaudFour CPU's will be out and we will all be using our phones to fly! Lol :p

The wifes Vibrant has had to be replaced under warranty after a slight drop, my Sexy Nexi has been dropped many of times and still looks flawless, as well as MyTouch 4G.

Love HTC

Screw Samsuck!
[HTC Sensation] smartsreenath:
everyone is talking about its specs.what about boot loader ? i think it is pretty same like incredible s signed boot loader .so rooting will be far .....i am pretty sure galaxy s2 will ship open/ unencrypted boot loader,so developers have vivid opportunity in developing or porting famous cyanogen to miui to mobiles.

i don't think so quadrant is optimized for dual core processor from both mobs ,so we will have to wait for launch and some brilliant develop have to check the two powerful gpu and hopefully their mobile comes first :):):) .[i love htc but the boot loader stick me to buy gs2 :D:D:D ]

note:android_master @personally i love your signature.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
For me I don't really care if either phone has a locked boot loader or not. More interested in comparison of performance of the OS etc.
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Only one BenchMark test is made for testing dual-core processors => SmarBench 2011.. Bootloader will crack...I hope..
[HTC Sensation] smartsreenath:
ok .............then don't check the sensation android development thread[ its for rom and related thread] after buying :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] Spl4tt:
why is nobody discussing HTC Sensation vs HTC Evo 3D?

would be far more intresting than vs Galaxy S2....
[HTC Sensation] itskapil:
I think SGS2 still wins thanks to super AMOLED display and I have more faith in Samsung's own Exynos dual-core processor than Qualcomm's dual-core units. But it goes without saying that HTC Sensation is the best phone after Galaxy S 2.

And I think inside news about Sensation is the reason behind Samsung upgrading the SGS2 to 1.2 GHz dual-core processor when it was about to release as scheduled, and thus, postponing the release. But it's for good, eh!

It will surely be lots of fun as and when both of these gigantic gadgets hit the streets. The latest HTC phones are releasing in India sooner than ever -- nearly the same time as they hit Europe -- so I think HTC fellas will launch Sensation too soon once its released globally. SGS2 will definitely launch soon too, I just love Sammy for that. So, it will be incredible that we -- in India -- will get two dual-core phones this summer (or a little bit later -- which is okay).

Awesome!

P.S. I hope Moto and LG take Indian market seriously, atleast now!

We could try to make a kind of black list for the O2X with the freeze problem.

Plz, post your serial number (remove battery and you'll fin it) and tell us if yours freezes.

My one does:

Serial:

103KNPYXXXXX
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
why ? whats the purpose of such list ?

Firstly I see no reason to have my phones serial no. posted in a public list like this.

Secondly whatever issue you are refering to are not phone/hardware specific thus a serial no. are completely irrelevant

Its an issue caused by software, either something installed by the user or a bug in the LG software - either way the cure is to find and fix the software - not to make a "blacklist of serial no's"

If its a user installed software then the user needs to find it and uninstall, if its a bug in LG software it will propably get fixed with the next LG update.

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] lmerega:
I spoke with LG Italy. They told me that it could be a stock of failed Mainboards.

If you remember, same thing happened with HTC Desire.

So I m trying to help other people to understand if there is a sort of black and white list.

Moreover I am an hardware producer and in millions of boards, sometimes whe have several hundreds failed because of a failure component.

So it's not so strange.

BTW, your serial number is not your credit card number. Sharing the first 5 or 6 chars cannot put you in any kind of danger :D
[LG Optimus 2x] nukleuzN:
What harm can a person do with the serial no?!
[LG Optimus 2x] lmerega:
He could try the luck with Bingo :)
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
You dont know my creditcard no - could be the same as my phones serial ;) J/K

sure there could be a batch of failed motherboards - however its not very likely, and if it was you are not going to identify it from getting serial no's from a few handfull random users on a messageboard having users from all over the world - you be lucky to even hit 2 users here having phones from the same batch of motherboards and you wont really be able to identify that from the serial no alone.

Furthermore inputs from users are flawed - in that in most situations whatever issues users have are user generated software issues. So even if you do get some saying they have similar problems - theres litle chance its caused by the same problem (hardware or software) or even that its actually the same issue.

Finally what would you do if you get a list of 20-30 serials - hand it over to LG claiming theres some hardware error based on that ? if you are a hardware producer you know that really doesnt make any sence.

:)
