I'm kind of with you on this one.

I was excited for so long about getting this...fighting tooth and nail to find one...and now that I have it...

...I have no idea what to do with it.

If I'm taking notes on PDFs...I find it cumbersome and end up pulling out paper and pen.

If I am working with docs...I end up whipping out my laptop instead.

Streaming video is very choppy so it isn't pleasant either.

I can use Pandora with my phone.

In fact most things I can do with my phone....so I don't even bother to whip out the tab. If it is for something where I would need more than phone...I would just rather skip the tab and go to the laptop.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akarol:
They're not in short supply anymore. Newegg and now TigerDirect have had consistent stock of them since last week. I think the shortage is somewhat over. You're not going to get anything more than what people would be willing to pay on those retailers. Unless, of course, the people purchasing from you are retarded.

If I were you, I'd return it to the place you got it from for a full refund (unless you are responsible for 15% restocking fee) or give eBay a try.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
Quick question about the HTC eReader. In the reviews and HTC site it talks about purchasing books and the free books to download, but it doesn't say anything about sideloading your own books (didn't see anything in the manual either). Is it easy to do on the flyer? I use calibre on my notebook and so the format is not an issue but I would hate to have to download all the books, etc. Considering that reading would be one of my main uses for this it's something that seriously interests me.

Thanks a lot in advance :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Westfire:
I think if you put you .epub files in /scared/digital editions, they will show up. I haven't tried so I can't say for sure. I just saw that is where the files are located with some books I have downloaded.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
Thanks. That's one step closer to knowing the answer :) Any chance you (or someone else) could try to sideload books to there? I know some readers won't recognize outside books or drm-free books, etc. and it'd be nice to confirm that this won't be a problem.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:
Why not just use iReader?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Westfire:
I did and it works. I downloaded a couple of epub files and HTC Reader imported them in.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
THANKS!! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
I hooked the Flyer up to my computer via USB (a data connection). Then I made the folder scared/digital editions (all lowercase, just as written). (I did not have the folder because I haven't downloaded any books.) Then I copied two epub format books into that folder and disconnected the Flyer from USB.

When I opened the included reader app, it imported the two new books automatically.

Personally, I think this is great! I have a Kindle app on my Flyer too, but I would much rather use this reader because of the way I can mark up pages with the Scribe pen. It is a better Kindle than the Kindle IMO.

I love it now that I know how to load additional books. Thanks for the tip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
So here is my thing, I want a custom splash screen and boot animation but I'm running into a problem. Everytime I try to flash it using

fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565 I get the error (failed: no remote access) or something like that.

I found out it's because my hboot is 2.10......

but I am unable to downgrade from what I have seen because my readout from adb shell is that I have the 40000 block build or something like that and because i have that build I cant downgrade and because I cant downgrade I cant have a custom splash page and boot animation.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It isn't at all true that you can't have a custom splashscreen or boot animation. You can either find a flashable zip of the boot animation you want to use and flash it via recovery, or you can manually place it in the correct folder and set permissions using Root Explorer. The location of the boot animation is dependent on the rom. If it isn't flashable, it needs to be named exactly bootanimation.zip in order for it to work once you've put it in the correct folder. I usually just rename the old one and leave it there in case I decide I don't like the new one.

Splashscreens, and I might be wrong about this because I've never used a custom one, can be loaded as a PC36IMG in the bootloader. I believe there are a small handful of them that can be flashed in recovery.

Hopefully someone that actually knows something about splash screens will chime in, since I'm afraid I may be giving out bad information when it comes to that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Thank you for your insight. The issue I'm running into is I can't figure out how to get into the folder to place the boot animation. With the hboot being 2.10..... it won't let me change anything in there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Your hboot has nothing to do with it, you need to boot into the rom and do it there. You can use Root Explorer to copy/cut and paste the boot animation into the correct folder. Rename the existing one to something else, you'll need to mount as r/w by tapping the button near the top that says "mount r/w". After you've moved the new boot animation and renamed it properly (if needed), you will need to set the permissions to match the old one. You can do this by long pressing the file and selecting permissions from the list. Then mount as r/o the same way you mounted r/w. When you've finished, reboot.

You should see your new boot animation :D

If you don't have Root Explorer, I would suggest buying it - it will come in handy. You can also use EStrongs and I believe File Expert has an option for root access. In ES File Explorer, you have to enable root functions in settings. I don't know if you can mount r/w through the app and it may not operate the same as my directions, but it's free. For root file actions, Root Explorer is just more polished in my opinion and well worth the money.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Thanks man, works great. The only issue I'm having is I can not get any audio. The audio is in the format spc_bootanimation_final.m3 and the bootanimation is spc_bootanimation.zip, any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, that 'man,' is actually a lady, and a good one too. Working on another gold star.

And it needs to be SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3 [yes, its case sensitive.] And try renaming the animation to just bootanimation. Are you on an aosp or sense rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Sorry mam, not man lol. Wish my ol lady was that technical lol.

I'm on sense, I didn't know if I shuld try to rename it to just bootanimation.zip or not since the rom's animationwas spc_anmation.zip and it was all in lowercase as well. I'll try the upper on the audio though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well with gaining the skill, comes time, lol.

Well its been since 'nam since I ran sense, though I keep the kingdom rom as my sense rom. For the audio, with the SPC in caps, that should work, and the same for the just bootanimation.zip as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Ok, so the mp3 wasin format SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3 and I set the permissions the same as the bootanimation. Could it be because it is just the audio file, not a zip with the text file in it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well the audio file is just that, just the file .mp3. It may have been because they weren't formatted/named correctly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
So here is where I am. I have the boot animation working flawlessly and have successfully changed it to 4 different animations without problem. Sound is still the problem. Here is what I have tried.

SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3

spc_bootanimation_final.m3

SPC_bootanimation.mp3

spc_bootanimation.mp3

SPC_bootsound_final.mp3

spc_bootsound_final.mp3

SPC_bootsound.mp3

spc_bootsound.mp3

I have it in the same folder as the animation (system/customize/resource) with the same permissions (Read:owner, group, others...Write: group)

I'm at a loss, everything should work but still no sound.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You should have SPC_animation_final.mp3 in the system/customize/resources folder, and nothing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Nope, nothing. I have played the file just to make sure it has sound and it does. I also tried moving it to system/media as android_audio.mp3 as was suggessted in another thread with nothing. Now boot sound worked with the stock rom, aybe from flashing it, it changed the audio setting maybe? I'm gonna try and change that real quick and see if it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Ok so I'm not getting it, all sounds are completely up. The only thing I ca figure is maybe somewhere in the rom it has been blocked/disabled for sounds at bootup. That's the only thing I can think of.

[HTC Sensation] niftytechster101:
Thats a damn shame Tmobile has to put that ugly damn logo right on the front of the damn phone, put it on the back or something. But enough complaining, this phone is gonna be absolutely stellar and the new and improved htc sense is absolutely terrific, this phone is an instant win
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
great find!

the box is a little different than the vodafone version, but aside from the logo pretty much the same.

Anybody know if mobilecityonline is trustworthy? They have the T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G for $600. 100 more than I think T-Mobile will have it for but it'd be unlocked...
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
why order it from a 3rd party online when you can order it directly from tmo on june 8? unlocking it won't be a problem I'm sure
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
The option for international shipping I think is a big reason.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Aside from the international shipping that Elchemist mentions (I have friends in the US who might be able to bring it to me) I don't know if unlocking is that easy.

Unlockers and repair shops here in Mex tend to be befuddled by foreign phones (one more reason I wish I were back in Canada) and T-Mobile, according to their page, only gives unlock codes to account holders in good standing (45 days postpaid, 60 pre-pay). This leaves the option of online unlocking services which sometimes take a while to appear for new handsets (I don't feel like having a phone for a month which I can't use for calls).
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
solsearch, an easier way would be to use one of the online unlocking sites and just input the code yourself. Now if only S-Off was available...:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
yeah I'm curious why tmo went with different packaging as well. it's the same as their version of the hd2

EDIT:

on closer inspection, the open back shot shows a microSD card of unknown size. The vodafone versione comes with an 8GB card pre-installed in the phone.

[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
the microSD card I speak of btw...
[HTC Sensation] jgarza1004:
yeah thats def. too hidden to see what size it is.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Well, first I'm going to see if my uncle is still with T-Mobile as that'd be the easiest/surest way.

As for the packaging I don't really get why people care, vendors, reviewers, etc. sure as it affects appeal, but for those who already decided to buy it? Does it really matter? Worst case scenario you keep the box at the back of some closet or you toss it, it doesn't affect the device (branding on the device is another matter). Too bad branding is on the screen, if it weren't people who really cared could just buy a different back cover.

And it seems it won't come with a microSD card according to that screen shot (the one of the box). Remember that just because the pics show one in the phone it doesn't mean it'll be included, after all whoever is using it probably would want one in there... I'm slightly disappointed but I don't care too much as I'll be buying a 32GB one anyways. I could have used the 8GB one for less used content but 8GB cards are cheap anyways.

But I think I am definitely getting the T-Mobile US version as it kind of seems like kismet. My birthday's on the 9th and if I'm really lucky I can have this prezzie for myself on that day :D
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
I hope mobiTv, telenav and some other useless apps will not be preloaded. Also hope it will have tethering option right out of the box like G2x and G2. The greatest feature of tmous, wifi caling should be there but just worried about the battery when it comes to wifi calling. It seems to kill battery very quick on my Vibrant and it was also battery hog on G2x. Still very excited for june 8th though!

[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
Thanks for the info!

I had no clue that the HD2 came with 16GB storage and a gel skin. Wouldn't it be nice if the Sensation had the same?
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
i also read that and was like hmmm is it really quadband.. lets hope it is
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
the 16GB is nice, even if it is a class 2 card. Also, both Transformers movies are on it. I personally didn't like the gel skin. Used it for a day & then left it in the box. I like the smoothness of the phone & no rubber, movable border on the screen. My HD2 is pretty tough: I only have a scuff mark or 2 from dropping in on concrete while drunk & no scratches or anything on the screen. The battery cover eventually got a nick in it, but HTC replaced it since it's under warranty. Damn I love this company.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
you mean triband? 1700, 2100, 1900

quad would have 850 included
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
gsm 850 is there
[HTC Sensation] bfspider:
If you can settle with using only EDGE on ATT... Besides, most of the phones that are GSM are all quad band. It is the 3G/4G radio that has always been different.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
ya but why would they include 1900 ?
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
I think it's just cheaper to produce one version than different versions. This way they include AWS in the UK (Europe/Asia) one and the 900/2100 Europe/Asia bands in the Us one. It also means 3G while roaming in other continents (not sure about South America) and not just in Canada. Also this way they only have to put the T-Mobile logo on the screen and that's the only difference. That's one tiny step more and that's it. I'm also guessing it's cheaper to buy the chipset in larger quantities and if not it's still just easier to have one production line for the GSM ones (I read it was coming out in South Korea which would mean the 8660 chipset if I'm not mistaken).

AND I just realized you said 1900... So ignore the above. GSMArena has it as 900 not 1900. Maybe it's a typo. Maybe it's to provide possible interoperability with AT&T in case the merger goes through. BUT if it's true I'd be stoked as it'd mean having SOME 3G coverage here in Mex with the phone for those times that it's urgent (I'll be using a mifi hotspot as I can get 3GB for $25 with that vs. 200MB for $28 on pay as you go).
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I decided to check & the European HTC site lists 900/1700/2100 & says Europe/Asia/Tmobile US but this screenshot shows 1700/2100/1900. Odd, I wonder if that's a typo on the packaging

[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
Generally T-mobile stores get their demo units about a week before launch.
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
May be it is a quad band for voice and tri-band for data? I thought there was a similar confusion for G2x.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Oh no. It separates the two. Our confusion is not over whether it is Tri-band 3G but rather which bands and why.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
I think some people don't know what TMO USA uses for 3G. Most carriers (US, UK, etc.) use just one band/frequency. With that they use half duplex mode. This means that while the phone is transmitting, it cannot receive and visa versa. TMO USA uses full duplex so it can do both at the same time. Reason: Faster data rates on HSPA, better QoS. They achieve this buy using 2 bands at the same time. They use the 1700 band for downlink and 2100 band for uplink. The 1900 band is added for roaming in other countries. So, 1700 TMO Band, 2100 TMO band, 1900 Roaming band. 3 Bands. Hope this helps any confusion.

P.S. Both data and voice run over the same bands when you are on 3G.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Nice to see that TMO didn't bastardize the OS and make it their friggin mySense or Espresso or whatever you want to call it. Looks like pure Sense!
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
ALL US carriers add bloatware to their devices. It will happen no matter how much you complain about it. It's are proven fact via surveys and the majority of people like the extra bloat on it. Get over it and move on.
[HTC Sensation] Kevinik:
Guess some people got it earlier... hence the vids and pics posted recently.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Your explanation doesn't actually make sense as 1900 is for AT&T and Canadian bands as well as other parts of the Americas (though not all I believe). If they are touting the TMO 2100 then that prevents Europe Asia roaming as it is slightly different even though they are both classified as 2100. This is one reason the European version states 900/AWS/2100 so that AWS includes 1700 and TMO's version of 2100.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
It is possible that it includes the entire 2100 band for roaming capabilities. I do know that 1900 is for roaming, tmo usa does not use it. And ATT used to be 2100 but switched to 1900 for spectrum issues. I'm pretty sure that ATT uses all three, 850, 1900 and 2100. It's about what's available where in the country. That is one of the reasons they want to purchase TMO USA. The 1700 band for LTE.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
From what I know AT&T has never used the 2100 band in the US. They include it in their phones specifically for the reason you mentioned: roaming (in Europe and Asia). 2100 was the standard over there from way back in the days of UMTS (and now WCDMA). :)
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
I "might" pass on the Sensation

I know that I will probably be in the minority here, but I am a bit weary of the offerings HTC gives to T-mo. Iast year, i fell for the dead platformed Windows 6.5 in the hd2. This year, the more I read about the Sensation, not only does it not measure up to the competition (Samsung Galaxy), but it is the read head cousin to the evo 3d in critical areas. Look for yourself: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/15/htc-sensation-versus-the-rest-of-the-dual-core-world-smartphone/

Not only does it have a smaller Battery than its cousin, the Evo 3d, but less RAM AND internal storage too? I have seen several galaxy vs. Sensation vids and the Galaxy beats htc by a considerable margin every time in quadrant comparisons. And to add to all this HTC has locked the bootloader - seriously?!" Don't get me wrong, i love htc phones. I am in no hurry to switch to samsung because their phones feel like toys. however, stat for stat, htc's Sensation offering is a third string device behind the galaxay and the Evo 3d. I am not going to rush to get it like I initially was. The chefs have left some really great NAND ROM's for the hd2 until I really feel compelled to move. HTC will come out with something around christmas anyway. We shall see.
