[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
So you don't believe HTC will launch a super hot phone in Q4 2011?

I really hope so! Although my plan is finished in August. I am still breaking my head which phone to take? HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy SII.

At this moment I am wondering if there is better to come this year, Worth waiting...

Or should I make a choice? Don't forget I am still owning a HD2 with Android NAND.

Can't wait for both to come to the market and then hear what people say about the phones!!!
[HTC Sensation] touness69:
Samsung Galaxy S II is already out in UK mate, you can check feedbacks at GSII forums. From what first owners says, it seems perfect really. It's almost fishy as it ticks all boxes.

I have pre-ordered it and will get my hands on it in a week or so, I'll also give the HTC Sensation a shot on may 12th as I'm due to an upgrade so I might give you some feedbacks then
[HTC Sensation] turt:
Well apparently there will be a better super hot phone in 2011, according to Eldar Murtazin (Mobile Review) the Samsung Galaxy S III should be released in autumn and is the mother of all phones (iPhone5 competitor).

Don't expect anything but minor improvements/variants from HTC this year as compared to the Sensation.

So if you're not in a hurry, wait for the Galaxy S III. Otherwise just get the Galaxy S II now (it's released in UK and South Korea, other countries to follow shortly) ;)
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
Thanks for the info. HTC should be the one to bring out the follow up phone for the HD2. They not really did that yet and they know that HD2 was a big succes. The HD Desire is still oldskool. The next generation phones are all with dual core!! I must say: I really hope HTC brings news about some asesome phone coming this Q4 2011.

I really believe in this.

Samsung Galaxy II is already great... can't see III coming soon.

HTC is letting me down at the moment, My girlfriend has the galaxy s, I still prefere HTC though... what to do?
[HTC Sensation] saveferris:
Yep......I couldn't have said that better myself
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
So I should forget about HTC and HTC SENSE...?

I think touchwizz 4.0 is not so cool as sense 3.0.

HTC is so good in simplicity. They bring their product and the phone is really made to suit you. See all the videos they made for HTC sensation!
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
HD2 is not a device like other, it's really a computer!

Do you know any phone that can dual boot wm7 and Android?

They could even put ios it wouldn't shock me :D

HD2 was originally dedicated for wm6.5 only, so if HTC want to launch an HD3 it will be officially for wm7.

I think you mean you want a replacement for the DHD
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
I want a super android phone!!!! But I don't think their will be better phones this year!

I still thinking, what should I do? My heart says buy the sensation but my brains say buy the SII.... So what to do?
[HTC Sensation] DSensation:
well I think HTC "gave" us the phones for this year.. maybe in the end they will have something new, but what'll be better? maybe 1GB Ram and w/e.. I mean, even the heaviest games to Android dont really need 1GB to work really good.. just keep your phone clean and 768MB and great Sense will do the work.

Also in my opinion, the SGS II is ugly compared to HTC . (Some of the phones of HTC.. like the Desire and Sensation).
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
I agree for the design, the sgs2 is a pale copy of the old iphone while HTC have their own design and more specially I love the rubber feel at the back
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
The pro and the cons... between the 2: Samsung wins.

But I just have to wait to see what people say about those phones!

I think I would still go for the HTC Sensation, but if I don't like the design in real life well then it will be the SII.
[HTC Sensation] Hero Yu:
Htc France did confirm that an Gsm version of the Evo 3d would be available but gave no dates. Hopefully it will arrive Q4! Fingers crossed
[HTC Sensation] touness69:
As I said earlier you can check feedback about GSII from now. For Sense UI it is better than touchwizz and if it is the only thing that makes you do a compromise when considering the GSII then well a little birdie told me that there may be a solution to fix that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzhtziHD7IY ;) (it is an alpha and it is already running smoother than any HTC to date because of the better hardware of the GS)
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
SII still beats the EVO 3D. So it suppose to be a new phone from HTC. I need a leak!! Hahaha somewhere it must be clear what kind of phone they will bring out in Q4 2011.
[HTC Sensation] Hero Yu:
Perhaps the newly leaked HTC kingdom and rider will defend the android crown :)
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
Say what? Kingdom and rider? do you have a source?

Please tell me!!
[HTC Sensation] Hero Yu:
It's on the xda news page, and reported by many other android fan sites
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
HTC seems to make one "superphone" per carrier per year. So if you don't like the Sensation, get whatever else makes you happy or you will probably be waiting another year or more.

I'll be enjoying my Sensation. We each have preferences, and the good thing is that we have various devices we can choose from. Get what you enjoy and be happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] alesscam:
"By the end of the year will come on the market with its first quad-core chip with frequency up to 2.5 GHz with dual and quad core GPU Adreno. The SoC Snapdragon MSM8930/8960/8270 APQ8064 and, in addition to full HD and 3D, LTE networks will also support, Dolby 7.1 channel audio and up to 20 megapixel cameras. Qualcomm says a performance boost up to 500% and reduced fuel consumption by 75%."

I think I'll wait ;)
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
And you'll probably be waiting till 2012. They do this same hype every year. As one is on the market, say the next is just around the corner, but it never really comes till the following year. Once all the people who purchased the last are ready to upgrade. Qualcomm has done this same thing every year.

And by the time quad-core devices really are out in 2012, they'll say 8core chips (or something of that nature, something far better than quad-core) are going to be out later the same year.
[HTC Sensation] Realplayer-88:
Thanks for all your feedback guys.

Now I am gonna check the info that is leaked on I-net for the Kingdom and the Rider.

The best deal should be if we all buy the Samsung Galaxy SII and get the Sense 3.0 UI on it !!! :D GREAT !!! What do you guys think about that?:P
[HTC Sensation] :
Unless some one wants to take that task which is a lot I doubt it sense is closed source
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Yep although the SGSII is capable of running Sense since it is NEON based, it might not get very far. The Sense port for the original SGS is still only half baked, with no working radios and stuff.
[HTC Sensation] silverwind:
Do we really need a phone with this super specs?

For what? Gaming? Audiophile? Complex computation?
[HTC Sensation] alesscam:
Maybe you do not, but most user will probably :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
I would, PERSONALLY, NOT purchase the Sensation.

The Iphone 5 will come out, and after that Phone manufactures will release phones that are better then that.
[HTC Sensation] alesscam:
HTC seems to be building a new superphone for Q3 2011 ...

HTC Sensation is already old before the release :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] joeyklatzko:
I'm so torn between the Sensation/Galaxy S 2. Sensation: better resolution, MHL port.

Galaxy S2: Better screen technology, thinner and sleeker.

All the other specs are comparable.

For me it'll come down to CyanogenMod support.

This will hold me over until the next Nexus device. I hope it contains the Nvidia KalEl chip :D
[HTC Sensation] gauner1986:
I'd also look to build quality.. Which is way better at HTC side.. Samsungs usually just are a piece of plastic, which makes them feel like pretty cheap.. HTC builds in some aluminium.

I don't care about the specs being better at some point, which is just minimal at best/things i don't need. For me the resolution and build quality are the deciding points.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fumanchu12:
with the latest rom i've tested

(RCMixS08) i've got a strange bug with an app (radio streaming):

with wifi on, everything works,

with 3G, the following occurs :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service com.cambos.mediaPlayer.PlayerService: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost

/etc/hosts look ok (127.0.0.1 localhost in there), so what now? probably mess with the 3G network config? how to do that?

thanks everyone for your advice

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
No. Probably even Samsung themselves don't.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy25000:
It has never been announced, but even if it was, you would probably have a new phone before they release it.

I recommend CM7 rom because it's built on gingerbread and freaking amazing. I'm using it and not going back :p

I've done most of those things over the course of the last week and I just got a little over 24 hours on my last charge.

Those tips are legit.

Great job! I've been getting about 20hrs of battery life using some of these... now I have more tricks to add =-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wildchld:
Good job! I'm almost done withall the tweaks and have say it helping. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Great tips. I was doing most of those, but have added the calibration software as well as watchdog. I have also found Juice Defender to be a big help.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hanged_man:
this is still not acceptable for a phone in 2011 to still have that kind of battery, most people out there aren't really concerned about tweaking their phones or dont even know about it. Im not gonna use setCPU or anything else, i expect things just to work flawlessly out of the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Marcus Ryan:
Tasker can be a friend in this whole deal too.

If you can automate your radios & screen brightness to exactly what you need when you need it you can save significant battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
If your WiFi calling app can't stay on wifi, you need to fix your wifi network and not your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wotornot:
With all of these changes having a toggle for haptic feedback I assume would help a ton...considering its a touchscreen and a retardedly fast phone. Otherwise it vibrates on every damn user input. Just curious what others think about this. Anyways, thanks for this post....the forum is getting congested.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
Yeah, but on the flip side your an early adopter for technology that literally JUST CAME OUT and so there is no perfected system for it. I mean the version of android we are running right now doesn't even truly support dual-core! So yes this is the price we pay, and if dual core had been out for two years I would completely agree but it hasn't. This is what android has always been built on a semi flawed system but top of the line technology and thanks to the great community we have we can push the limit of every device out there even the g1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
I meant this for people like myself who live in an area ( or college like me) where you are constantly moving in and out of wifi range and that would take a drain on your battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
I think the reason we have so much haptic feedback though is because we are lacking physical buttons and the small vibration gives us the sense of a solid keyboard even though as you stated everything is a touch screen. Well that is my 2 cents anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
I will definitely look into tasker and check it out personally and add it to the list later! Thanks!

Update: I have seen programs or apps like this before many moons ago i used a program called wisyncplus and basically it is just profiles. This I guess could be used to increase battery life, but in my opinion apps like this and Juice Defender and what not are simply 1) too much of a hassle - cause you have to usually set up each profile individually 2)This is more of a convenience - It doesn't actually increase battery life it is just a manager almost like a widget.

Than back to your argument about the screen brightness my auto-adjust does just fine depending on the lighting and honestly in less your watching a movie, playing video games, or doing intense web browsing your more than likely not even gonna have your screen on that long. (and to those of you that say the Auto-Adjust doesn't work remember that this is an LCD screen it is lit from behind so it is gonna seem brighter unlike the Nexus S which is lit in the screen making it viewable with less brightness)

Than for automating radios honestly there is already widgets for that. The stock rom comes with a Wifi on/off widget so no complaints there, and elixir(which is a free and very useful app) comes with a apn off/on widget which is really all you need cause in my experience unless my internet is on I see no difference in battery life being GSM preferred over WCDMA preferred.

So in less you really do have a tight schedule, or just don't wanna mess with changing settings manually(and with widgets), Yes, Tasker is perfect cause it basically does everything for you.(even though i am pretty sure there are free apps exactly like Tasker)

(Sorry if this came off kinda rude I don't mean to flame at all just trying to say all of my opinion and back it up as best i can)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayohwhy:
if this is the case, i don't think that an open-source phone is for you. the beauty of android is that anyone can personalize it and tinker with it.

the g2x is sort of like a muscle car- it has lots of [dual core]power, but the trade off is trying to manage battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wotornot:
For the sake of min/maxing battery drain I would think toggling the vibrate after every input would help. I actually like the keyboard without it pulsing all the damn time. And my hearing might be a little sensitive to where I dislike the fart sounding vibrate motor. Haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
Couldn't have said it better myself. This is exactly why I am a huge android supporter/early adopter, a car fanatic, and a Mechanical Engineering major. Because I love the individuality of it all and to be able to own something that can be unique to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
I dont think turning off haptic feedback will really make to much of a difference in terms of battery use.

Our phones are dual core phones, in every test run dual core phones have less of a battery draw because two cpus is better then one. When dealing with a multicore phone/computer the device can have more power without using more energy because there is less stress on the cores. The old way was a bigger battery drainer then this because 1 core would have to use more energy to produce equal amount of power that a 2 core setup would. As spencer said and we have all been saying its more of a software issue then a hardware issue. Imagine loading a computer with 24gbs of memory and have an core i7-Xtream chipset and using windows 7 32bit its pretty much a waste. I believe a lot of the issues that everyone is experiencing will be fixed by a software update or the dev team when roms of the gingerbread nature come out.

Spencer nice post btw!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] garyg2k:
Is there a Marketplace forum for me to list my accessories for sale or can I do it here? I was looking forward to this phone so much that I bought my accessories before I bought the phone. But between the Atrix's locked bootloader and AT&T's foolishness, I'll probably never own the thing.

I have a Otterbox Commuter case and a genuine Motorola car charger both new in box to sell. And when I say new in the box I literally mean that I haven't even opened the box that they were shipped to me in. The case was purchased directly from Otterbox and the charger from Amazon.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Blue Puma:
You might as well keep the car charger; any phone you are likely to get will use microusb. Plus, that is a good one and they are cheap as dirt.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Gvndeb60:
Yeah, not to be a buzz kill, but genuine chargers are on Amazon for $4ish. Probably not worth the shipping...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] garyg2k:
Yeah, I agree about the charger. I am really looking to get something back for the $30 case I bought and never used.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Hello!

I have actually an Arc though it's rooted for a while it seems it will have poor custom roms support (actually zero) while I was a custom rom addict on the N1 :o

I am waiting now for the Sensation because of its upgraded hardware over DHD, better screen,better cpu,better battery?,better speaker and of course the infamous SenSe 3.0

BUT

I have already all these upgrades on my Arc (only cpu dual core) and if I am already bored of my Arc its mainly because it doesn't have roms yet and will never have as much as a DHD.

The Sensation could be locked as tight as the incredible S which is of course a big problem for custom roms...

So DHD can still be the best HTC phone for a custom roms lover like me right?

I am only afraid of battery life, if it can be as good as N1 I don't care but if it's like the nokia n95 one...:eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You can expect about a day's worth of use depending on ROM, kernel, radio, CPU settings etc. on the DHD with use.

Some people say the get 8 hours, some say 16 hours, some say even longer. Really depends on what you do to the phone (software and usage).

Personally I'd wait for the Sensation. Where there's a will there's a way and here at xda the will is mighty indeed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoorvajsh:
Custom ROM support is all about popularity - the more people own a particular phone, then the more custom roms there will be for it. Sensation will definitely be more popular than the arc (though never as good looking!)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
That's why the Desire HD is still attractive, everything is here: MIUI, ported IS and DS roms, CM7,Modaco...

I really preffer the Sensation above all other devices but if it will be locked like the IS...:(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
IT´S a time question that the sensation protection falls....time to the time... Let's not go forward that still is not developing in XDA hahhahah:D:D:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Yep I know that sooner or later any device can be unlocked, the X10 is a good exemple but in that case it took 10 months to do it :eek:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
It's simple. Do you want the best phone spec wise or do you want the phone that is currently the most customisable?

If you want best spec phone now and don't mind a potential wait for root solution then get something like the Sensation.

If ability to gain root asap is priority then get DHD or equivalent.

That's it. Make the decision.

The only reason I've started using sd-ext is because I was getting the dreaded installation failed due to not enough space message, or something to that effect, even though there was plenty of space reported on the phone.

How long should it take for the phone to boot up after the no-wipe method?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
On a really terrible sdcard I used last night it was upward of twenty minutes, but I was watching a logcat to be certain that it was moving forward and not looping. As long as the boot animation isn't restarting you should be alright. Using a slow sdcard will seriously degrade performance though.

Run a logcat during boot if in doubt, or run ddms.
