It does have AWS, but doesn't say 1700.

HSPA/WCDMA (900/AWS/2100 Mhz)
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Camera's not as good as I had hoped :S
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
that's really supposed to be 8mp!!! :(
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
That's what we need. Where did you buy it?
[HTC Sensation] Cheeze[iT]:
Man if this has aws and is t-mobile ready might as well get this instead of waiting for the t-mobile version right?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yes, if you are willing to ship it back to the UK for warranty service.
[HTC Sensation] NardVa:
If you have Tzones or Web2Go you might be able to use this phone with the cheap data plans.

If you already have a regular data plan with Tmobile then it would be best to buy it through Tmobile because it will be cheaper straight up and on contract.
[HTC Sensation] brian6685:
It will work with 3/4g on T-Mobile?

G2X & Nexus S
[HTC Sensation] NardVa:
Going by the box it should work with Tmobile US 3G/4G. Not a surprise since Tmobile US is getting their version of the phone in a few weeks.
[HTC Sensation] brian6685:
Is this confirmed anywhere?

G2X & Nexus S
[HTC Sensation] Bloodflame:
T-Mobile uses an AWS network. This phone supports AWS bands.

Therefore, SIM-Unlock the device and you're good to go.
[HTC Sensation] brian6685:
Where can I get it from if I live in the states? Its not on ebay either...

G2X & Nexus S
[HTC Sensation] Bloodflame:
Honestly, your best bet is to just wait a few weeks. T-Mo will have it on June 8th. If you could find an online dealer in the UK, chances are it would cost more for the device, shipping would cost ya too, and you'd still have to wait for it to arrive. By the time T-Mo has it, you can save yourself a few bucks and be satisfied knowing it's coming directly from T-Mo.

Since I'm in Canada, there's been no word of when it's coming here. Luckily my carrier is also AWS, so I'll be importing mine from the US :D
[HTC Sensation] brian6685:
Yeah good point :)

G2X & Nexus S
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
How are you planning to unlock it if I may ask? I would also prefer to import it from the US as it'd definitely be cheaper but I am worried about the SIM-lock while the UK version, though more expensive, would be unlocked...
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
Huh? That's 720x540, so it's not 8Mp.
[HTC Sensation] Bloodflame:
Well SIM unlocking is easy as pie, at least when compared to unlocking the bootloader. I don't know the exact process, but once you find an unlocking service that supports the device, pay them $5-10 and get your unlock code. Quite often, those little private kiosks in malls that sell chargers, cases, and other phone accessories will also offer SIM unlocking. They don't usually advertise the service, but feel free to ask them.

I'll probably try buying mine pre-unlocked to avoid that small hassle. Typically in Canada, unlocked phones can be found a dime-a-dozen (figuratively) on Craigslist. I also know of a couple resellers of my carrier who personally import them from the US and SIM-unlock them theirselves. Of course, there's a small premium to pay for this convenience, but honestly, I'm happy to do so just to have the exact device that I want. Why limit yourself to what your carrier offers you when you know there's better phones available that are completely compatible with your network? :D Case in point, my Nexus One. My carrier doesn't offer it, but I bought mine imported from the US already unlocked (then again, it was never locked in the first place ;))
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
my bad. assumed that was maximum res. Can a full 8mp one be uploaded please. :)
[HTC Sensation] danfard:
Here are some full-res photos from my Sensation - not as good quality as I was expecting.

These were taken using standard settings (although I did use an in-phone effect on the second photo which I quite like), and no digital zoom applied.

The photos seem quite heavily compresed & lack detail. Also not as vibrant, but you can modify the saturation settings for that.

Dan.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
1) wow. that seems like quite a let down for 8MP, but then again I haven't seen many 8MP shots before.

2) that effect is pretty damn cool.

3) is that a desire I see there!! wooo!
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
3264 x 1840 = 6,005,760

You sure you've got it set to 8MP?
[HTC Sensation] danfard:
samnada: Just noticed that myself! I had the 16:9 option set, which takes the resolution down to 3264 x 1840.

I've now taken a few more shots at 4:3, which is the true 8mp resolution.

They're all in upper medium light (indoor, near a large window on a cloudy day) on auto settings. The kitchen utensils is in quite low light (despite appearances) & without flash.

Photo 1

Photo 2

Photo 3

Photo 4
[HTC Sensation] danfard:
1) Check out the new photos I've uploaded - these are true 8mp resolution, and look slightly better than the original ones.

2) Yeah, there are a couple of cool / novel effects on there, good fun :)

3) Yep, I believe it is - it's my flatmate's, and I've just replaced a HD2 (with Android on of course).

Overall, I'm really happy with the Sensation - looks great, feels great & is the perfect upgrade to a HD2 (and probably Desire HD, but I skipped that).

Cheers,

Dan.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Ok. Understood.

Photo 1 is 2456x1909=4.9MP

The others are 8MP.

Can't see the ISO in the metadata on #4, but very low light has never been good on phone cameras. Maybe try with the flash.
[HTC Sensation] danfard:
Hi samnada,

Unfortunately, imgur is resizing the image but the original was 8mp, so you get the idea.

Thought I'd take #4 at lower light just to see how it handled it, which wasn't too bad. Coming from the HD2, the flash seems capable too, unlike my former phone which over exposed / blue tinted all flash shots (more to do with the fact android had been hacked onto it, rather than the original phone's software).

I don't think anyone would buy a HTC specifically for it's camera capabilities, and it may be something that's improved with firmware updates. I think Sony Ericsson lead the way in terms of photo quality (sensors, processing & lenses), but the instant-shot ability of the Sensation is very good & I can't complain about the image quality too much.

Regards,

Daniel.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Ok, that explains the sizing, and likely the compression artifacts in #1.

2 and 3 look good, and for low light 4 is as you'd expect.

I carry a camera when traveling anyway so don't expect a phone to replace that anytime soon, if ever. So far what I've seen of the Sensation samples it's at least competitive. I'd like to see a GSMArena camera eval but they don't have it up yet.

Appreciate you posting the samples.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Hi Daniel. Are you sure that you choosed "best" on quailty settings? 8 MP photos should be much bigger than that. If you're sure then we have problem with camera with an HTC phone again.
[HTC Sensation] :
Will wait for more shots. Would be great if someone can measure the lumens of the LED. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] danfard:
There aren't any other settings I can see within the camera application that would improve the quality.

In terms of filesize, the photos are coming out at 1mb - 2.5mb, depending on image complexity.

Unfortunately, the photos I've posted aren't exactly the most attractive. I'm sure if I had some nicer views to capture, they'd be a lot more impressive.

Dan.
[HTC Sensation] Tung_meister:
rather disappointed with those images. They seem heavily compressed to the point that the images might as well be < 2mp, looking at some shots I took with the iphone 4 when I briefly owned it they are far superior sadly.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
I'm hopeful this might be something that can be fixed via software. For me, the main problems are jpeg artifacts and poor backlight compensation.

Taking a photo of a skyline with cloud cover, for example, makes bright white clouds look like storm clouds.

I know the flash is good. I think the sensor itself is OK - just needs some tweaking.
[HTC Sensation] MatMew:
Get QQPlayer from the market, great media player. Supports MKV flawlessly on my Nexus S.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
my total RAM is only 558, showed on 'Task Manager'.

Does anyone know why? thanks.
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
HTC Seriously could have done a better job by not adding so much compression disappointed, Root/ External apps should help solve it though
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
Lol those pics looks awesome. People are really digging in for stuff to not like. Hey, dig and dig and u shall find
[HTC Sensation] mmeyer4663:
Try Opera Mobile. Would like to know how it does on the 16x9 display anyway.

Will only launch Flash content if you choose it.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
that's how much free ram you have. It has 768MB, but 210MB is used by Android/Sense/"the stuff that needs it that you don't have access to" 558MB is the actual USABLE RAM for apps and stuff.
[HTC Sensation] thisguy10:
Not sure if anyone has asked or mentioned, but does this phone have any type of LED indicator for text messages and missed calls? This is one feature that I will miss about my N1.
[HTC Sensation] Black_Tiger:
Multitouch

I'm curious about the multitouch screen, could someone use this and find out how many "touch points" the Sensation can handle please? :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Yes, it does. It's a small led indicator beside the earpiece. It works in the following manner (taken from the manual):

The notification LED shows a:

§ Solid green light when HTC Sensation is connected to the power adapter or a

computer and the battery is fully charged.

§ Flashing green light when you have a pending notification.

§ Solid orange light when the battery is being charged.

§ Flashing red light when the battery level reaches very low.

That means text messages and missed calls will manifest themselves with the flashing green light.
[HTC Sensation] Antonios76:
Can someone inform us about the consumption of the battery ?.

Can someone inform us about the GPS signal?. We must enable the 3G in order to get the signal quickly or it can lock sattelites easily without it ?.

What about the wifi signal ?. It still drops >88db ?

Speakers...better or worst than the DHD ?. Ok, version 2.3.3 have corrected in some way this issue.
[HTC Sensation] mkouk:
So HTC hasn't improved their manufacturing process since they released the Nexus One? :confused::eek:

This is disappointing.

The N1 was plagued by issues with dust under the screen and they never changed their manufacturing process. The only thing they did is support fixes through their customer support if users actually noticed the dust under the screen.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
Very odd indeed. You would assume that if they're churning out these premium handsets (which feel soooo good) there manufacturing process would be something similar.
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
I'd like to know this too. The desires screen sucked at multi touch.
[HTC Sensation] wouwout:
O no, a notification LED. I hate it, I have my phone next to my bed charging. Is there a way to turn of the LED completely?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
could you upload a video with some voice action please ???
[HTC Sensation] raj2022:
how about that front camera?

has anyone tried video calling on skype/fring/qik?

or taken any photos with the front facing camera?

The htc website specs sheet says its VGA but at the roadshow the demonstrator told me it was 1.3MP and the incredible S has been listed with a 1.3MP front cam too.

Seems odd that HTC would downgrade the camera on its premium device...

(Although tbf they did downgrade user accesible ROM, so who knows?)

thanks
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
2 questions from me:

1) Which classes of microSD are supported? Is the new Class 10 supported?

2) Can the ui animations be disabled or reduced to a minimum?
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
New threads should really be made with all these new questions. Otherwise no one will see them
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
My old N96 supports Class 10 (Lexar 32GB), and surprisingly it even manages to get to the maximum speed while transferring files to it from my PC.

I can see no reason why it wouldn't be supported by the Pyramid. Yeah, hate me - I think Pyramid is a better name! That's why I'm getting a Pyramid, not a Sensation :D

Also - there's a setting in all Android devices to minimize menu animations, however I doubt that it would stop the fancy sense stuff on the Home screen. You could always use a launcher to disable it.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
I don't know if it can be disabled but it shouldn't be a problem. The LED is quite small and not that powerful, it shouldn't wake you up or upset your sleep. It's there more to be able to see something's waiting for you without having to turn on the phone.

The time has come to fight your greatest enemy: bubble wrap. The question is: how fast can you PopIt? You have 60 seconds to pop the whole table and set new records, but be careful: don't pop the same bubble twice or you will receive penalty!

This game was developed in 72 hours by two students, as part of an educational project. It is fully open source (as of version 1.0 right now). Don't expect anything big, this game doesn't want to be more than it really is: a way to waste some minutes of your time :)

Second, you should change the sound: it's a plastic bubbles not a typewriter :)

Whoops, thanks for the tip... Corrected in the post, will correct in marketplace when we push out an update :)

As for the sounds, they were created by me and the current pop sound is the best sample I managed to record. If you have any sound that's public-domain, free, etc then I'm interested ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
I don't have time for that. Use google, u'll find a lot (no, a LOT! :-) of public domain or low costs ($1-$2) sound effects. But just try to play 'em on handset first to be sure they are sounds realistic (I believe it's very important for games like yours).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
No there is no safe mode that i am aware of, you'll have to boot into recovery then do a full wipe unless someone else knows an easier way....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidcarp:
Yes there is a safe mode.

I somehow found it this morning.

Phone was off in my suit pocket, i turned it on whilst in the pocket and when I took the phone out (around 5 mins later) it was in safe mode.

Now how do I know this, well it was quite clear.......at the bottom left of the screen it actually says 'SAFE MODE', this appeared on every screen and I noticed that certain apps on my home screen were then missing too.

To get rid of it, i turned the phone off, took the battery out and then restarted the phone.

EDIt--- found it.....power on phone and hold menu and back at the same time:)

Hi guys, does anyone know the order of the pins under the battery cover for charging? my usb port is very close to death but I don't want to pay to get it fixed when i've got my upgrade in less than a month so I figure i'll just adapt a charger to charge via these.
[HD2 General] huggs:
Same here, bad usb port. I have looked everywhere trying to find out what voltage/polarity to apply to each of the 3 contacts under the battery cover, and even tried applying all possible combinations of polarities to the 3 contacts with a low voltage, all to no avail. My best advice to you, which has worked very well for me, is to buy an external battery charger and an extra battery. I got the battery and charger for 16 usd for both from ebay and they work fine. Good luck to you :)

I'm using Android on my HD2 since summer 2010 and flashed many, many times! Now I'm using MDJ's latest Gingerbread rom(2.3.3).

Since I'm using Android I was looking for some Google Analytics app but was very disappointed by the offer. So I created a new app and the response is very, very positive.

The app is completely developed on my good ol' HD2, still one of the best phones out there!

(developed in Eclipse of course, fully tested and optimized for the HD2 ;-))

Besides the standard Google Analytics features like visits, pageviews, browsers etc. this app offers some unique features:

1. It houses a special section for Android developers who integrated Google Analytics for Mobile into their apps

2. Social filter, see how manu traffic you receive from social networks, based upon the top 10 social networks of 2010

3. adWords section, for users who have linked their adwords account to their GA account

4. By using a default profile, you can access your stats within a single click from you homescreen
