Either XCal's latest re-oriented stock, or the latest Talon.

As anyone around here will tell you, there is no "best" anything. What works best for you, won't for someone else.

At the moment there is a certain dearth of Samsung compatible 2.3.X kernels. Back in the day we had a number of different 2.2.X kernels, but for now, Existz is kind of keeping everyone alive with his Talon kernel.

There are also a few developers working on CM7 kernels, but those will not work with Samsung derived 2.3.3 ROMs (which everything that's not CM7 is).
[Captivate General] sailzfast:
I have noticed the same.
[Captivate General] mrsouders:
Which version of 1.2 is it? I've always used CWM to install kernels.

is there a command that will tell me which lens i have? i'm color blind and cant tell or is there a app or some other way of telling thanks.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
just take a picture (5MP), and if its less than 1MB you have green lens, if its around 1.5-2MB, you have red lens (of course this only works if you havent applied any camera patches!)
[Defy General] hackergnome:
1.7 mb MOST of the time i have red 1 wat is better red or green?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
not quite sure, but green is better, but motorola couldnt figure out a way to make it work properly with this cpu, so defy-wise the red is better :)
[Defy General] simon211175:
Just picked up this thread - my images are around 500KB each, so I'd be on a green lens (in fact looking at the lens does prove this, just in case I preferred to do a simpler test). I've not had any issues with my camera though - what problems are there with the green lens?
[Defy General] nepotu:
There is no problem with the green lenses. The only issue is that for the moment (or maybe forever) you cannot apply a patch to record HD video (720p) which works only on red lenses. However 720p is not officially supported by this device so ...
[Defy General] mussio:
Most of my pics are around 1.5mb but I have a few close to 1mb and none 2mb or higher. I think I must have the red lens
[Defy General] zakoo2:
720p@60fps video is supported by the green lens (ov5642), just look at the datasheet (or the iphone 4, which has the same sensor)! i dont know about the red sensor, havent figured out the exact type. btw, if you have green lens, you can improve camera quality (decrease compression, hence clearer images), and get about 1.5MB pictures too! :) Just read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966800
[Defy General] 2Pints:
My lens is clear plastic, and the visible bit underneath the circle is black.

there is nothing coloured either red, green, yellow, or anything else.
[Defy General] nepotu:
I'm familiar with that thread but I'm not interested in patching the camera as I didn't buy Defy for his camera. For best results you should/could use a camera; even the cheapest will have better results than Defy. Now related to HD video mode maybe I should have mentioned that it is not supported officially by Motorola.
[Defy General] farsight73:
But most of the time we don't just carrying around digital camera. So with the Defy's 5mp camera is a good thing to have if there's sudden need to take beautiful naked lady on the run... :) So having it tuned (decreased compression to improve picture quality or some patching) should taking into consideration.
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Throw in faster shutter and iso control and you can get a perfect naked lady on the run pic without motion blur :)
[Defy General] farsight73:
Yea, it would be awesome to have it. But I wouldn't ask more as my Defy already working the way I wanted it to.. :D

* And I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola decided to push the next Defy2 or DefyHD with some kick-ass features. :eek:
[Defy General] arpit982:
Can someone explain... why are there two types of lens on the same defy..?? Is it a region specific thing..??
[Defy General] trikpa:
I want to know this too :)

also, what about blue lenses? my friend has it blue....mine is red, but I don't see any obvious difference...
[Defy General] xblosa:
There is another thread which gathers statistics about green/red lenses:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103993

In general it looks as if the newer ones (bought since march ?) are mostly equipped with red lenses. But i would think that it depends on the distribution channel (country / provider ...).
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
does the red lens have the capability to record in 720p in RC0? If so, what is needed to do this?

I have HD setting on video mode but the record button does not work, any ideas?
[Defy General] evilinheaven:
CM7 here... On HD mode the screen goes black, and when i try to record, it crashs...

I think that i have a red lens...
[Defy General] GooGell:
I have done the update to 2.2 from Motorola. And now i must have the 720p option, but i don´t can change to that. The best record that i can do is in VGA. And i have red lens.
[Defy General] farsight73:
Probably its an improvement move from motorola to change from green lenses to red lenses, otherwise it would be the same.

As we know, red lenses supported 720p recording via flashing update patch and red lenses currently supported leak gingerbread 2.3.3. Red lenses also having higher picture captured size. Older Defy uses green lenses obviously having compatibility issues that pushes motorola to made the changes.

But I know our XDA Masters usually can sort out issues, so not worries... :)

When is Asus going to start selling OEM parts ? I need multiple sync cables etc.. I would personally tear mine apart and goto town with meter but with out a way to purchase a new one this seems like a dumb idea :-P. I also am looking to make a cable that can attach to dock out, so that i can use it with transformer with out having it docked. Not that it maters but my reason for this is because i am making a custom install using the transformer as the head unit in my ford F-150, and i want to build a swing out keyboard out of center council (for when stationary or for passenger to use of course)

Any how my purpose of this is does anyone know any info on when replacement parts will be made available, or if they have released a pin out on the 40 pin anywhere so i might start building my own? I have tried reaching them on twitter but i have never received a response, on a side note has anyone got the transformer to show up and mount storage on a linux machine ?

I hate windows and so far other than adb push and pull, windows seems to be the only system that works with it

If you want to probe the cables, tearing apart a USB 3.0 extension cable and exposing the wires will allow you to tap into the Cable connection

Only thing i could probe was voltage and amperage with my multimeter

I really wish Asus used PDMI connectors :(

Now that this phone has officially launched, I'd like to get an idea about the audio quality of the Sensation through the 3.5mm headphone jack. Audio quality is a huge deal for me when it comes to purchasing new phones so please be as detailed as you can.
[HTC Sensation] rawr4dj:
i to would like to know, im coming from the Nexus S with the one hack i forget what its called havent use my Nexus S since like March, damn o yea its called Voo Doo sound. And it sounds ****in amazing excuse my language its just that great in ear headphones with voo doo. I would like for the Sensation to be better or @ least on par with it.
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Also, someone who has the phone can tell us about the quality of the external speaker and if it is any better than that of older HTC phones. The one on my desire really sucks in comparison with the Galaxy S or the iphone.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Someone said it was an improvement over their previous HTC phone (I think it was sjgore saying it was better than the Desire HD)l
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
I can honestly say the sound quality is good and clear. Lacking bass though and not loud through the speaker
[HTC Sensation] Beowulf_pt:
I'm also very curious on this as I'd value such a device as an audio player to use with audiophile headphones (some of the ones I have are low impedance IEMs, others I'd use with portable amplifiers like the Meier Corda Move), mostly to play flacs.

I've owned the Samsung Galaxy S and the audio quality was pretty decent, flat, black silence and so on. Wondering if this latest HTC is better than previous HTC models.

I only care about the 3.5mm jack audio, not the speaker.. don't use that for music. :)
[HTC Sensation] Tim_Bert:
sound

And as the whole quality of sound on Sensation? Slightly better Desire HD or well?
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Im more interested about the speaker quality when you talk to someone thorough the speaker phone.. can you hear the person loud and clear? can he hear you clearly?
[HTC Sensation] rawr4dj:
yea like the guy 2 or 3 post above me said, im wayy more interested in the Sound Output from the headphone jack. Ive heard that the Thunderbolts external speaker is absolutely amazing like the HTC Surrounds so if the sensation is on par or even better than those 2's then itll be great for internal speaker. But im not sure about external output to the phone
[HTC Sensation] m1r4j91:
The sound quality is great on the phone, it is louder than a stock DHD and the quality and bass is perfect through the headphones especially with the SRS effects. The headphones I am using are Sennheiser cx400, it would be wise to use a good pair of headphones ;)
[HTC Sensation] beautyangel:
Audio quality TI Audio chip v/s Wolfson 8994 ???

HTC Sensation if "TI Audio chipset" then crappy sound.

If HTC sensation comes with "WOLFSON 8994" then amazing sound.

Still looking for the HTC sensation internal motherboard pics or plan.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Are you talking about the sound quality through headphones or the loud speaker? I could care less about the latter.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Wrong. Preamps dictate the sound signature of the phone. DACs don't matter as much as you think they do. As long as it's clean, we're good.
[HTC Sensation] beautyangel:
Preamps

If preamps Over rule on sensation, thats a great news. Thx for the correction if the Sensation is carrying a preamps.:)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
+1, except that I'm using Sennheiser CX 300's.
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
can anyone comment about the loudspeaker quality when talking to a person? can you hear him well without distortions and vice versa?
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
Wrong.

Crap in crap out, if the source is low grade, the OPA will do nothing to change that. I'm not saying that DACs are the most important thing, but they are definitely at the beginning of the system. Of course, the very very beginning would be the sound file in question.... FLAC(which stock android wont even support), or low bitrate MP3.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
I am aware of that fact. But us users can actually do something about the source files that we play. FLAC and ALAC support is included with certain apps like PowerAmp so it can remedied to a certain extent. Audio hardware however, can't be modified so easily; you're basically stuck with a certain audio setup once you buy the device. So am I right on point this time? :)
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
Well my point is, while the DAC is definitely not the most important part of the system, it is more important that the OPA(optical parametric amplifier), which you said was more crucial than the dac. :p.

This fact is only applies for 99.99% of circumstances though, you could be the oddball with the full sized headphones that are hard to drive... but really, if you're going to spend $200+ on headphones, you might as well get a portable amp along with it.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Lol I am that oddball :p And I do have a portable amp btw. I just really hate walking around with it since it isn't very portable.
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
lol

That's like buying a Ferrari and installing automatic transmission on it when you have the full stick shift kit already.....

If you really did buy headphones that are hard to drive and you are purposely driving them strait out of a phone when you have a portable amp AND you start grumbling about the onboard OPA in the phone...then...well.... I don't really know what to say.

HTC's mission here is to make everyone(majority) happy, not to satisfy the 0.01%.... DAC>OPA in cell phones.

Oh and phones dont have preamps, optical parametric amplifiers(OPAs) are completely different from preamps.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Well from what I understand, even if I were to use a portable amp, it would still be somewhat affected by the quality of the OPA (thanks for the correction by the way) since there is no usb support for bypassing the audio circuit.
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
USB Support? What you have is a portable DAC(+ maybe small amp) not a portable amp.

USBs are only ever needed if bypassing the onboard DAC in the phone and using an external one.

And as long as the onboard DAC is good enough quality, you wont be effected by the onboard amp much.
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Well thanks for your advice. Still fairly new to the audiophile community and I'm sure I have a lot to learn. :o

How good is the sound over bluetooth?

The DAC in phones have usually been pretty poor in the past which was always a good reason to own a good bluetooth headset, but this also had problems with the stock bluetooth stack shiped with the phone. Poor linespeed / bitpool used to make the audio sound like arse but this fixable with custom bluetooth stack or custom ROM.

So how does the stock bluetooth sound?
[HTC Sensation] omersak:
Was really hot on getting the SGSII but it's poor SQ meant that it bit the dust, for me.

And i'm really glad too because i'm really psyched about the sensation and its aluminium sexiness now, regardless!

Any updates? Anyone else want to chime in on it's SQ? i'm not expecting SGS + Voodoo quality here, just something decent i.e - punchy, clean output free from any background hiss, noise or distortions (really gets on my tits). I've had the hero and the desire in the past and, well, it's a pretty big ask from an htc phone since they dont care to focus much on this
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
I've mentioned this in other threads but no one seems interested. Bluetooth stereo is rubbish at the moment. Range is excellent but bit-rate is bad. High-pitch compression noise spoils music on my Sennheiser MM400 headphones. At the moment, the sensation is simply blown away in Bluetooth quality by my Sony A series mp3 player.

I had this problem once with a stock ROM update on my HTC legend before and it was fixed by HTC's next update. I'm hoping a future update does the trick on sensation too.

Nice feature is that srs enhancement can be used on Bluetooth (although useless until the bit-rate improves)
[HTC Sensation] Toysrusie:
I reckon you'll be more than happy with Sensation SQ. I've also come from Hero and am blown away by the improvememt. I'm using it through Klipsch S2s (cheap + cheerful) and love the sound. The Hero hiss is gone and it replaced with crystal clear, detailed sound.

It's worth mentioning that I'm not quite so impressed with the SRS + Equalizer. Both have a horrible effect on the sound and the equalizer only has a number of presets, where a custom setting would be much better. They are also only available within the HTC Music app so have no effect on DoubleTwist, RealPlayer etc. It doesn't compare well to DSP Manager from my Rooted Hero. Perhaps these setting work better with the stock HTC headphones?

Dissapointed by HTC Sensation sound quality

Hi all,

since I have HD2, DHD and now Sensation I was able to subjectively test the sound quality. In case of HD2 we all know what was necessary to get the great sound, one additional sw package.

In case of DHD Dolby Mobile and SRS was included in the stock. And it rocks!

Also the PowerAMP added SRS support.

And then came the HTC Sensation, expectations were quite high, I personally needed at least DHD quality, but I am dissapointed fully, SRS is not even close to DHD, I can't tell you what is the reason but the quality is really bad.

I use Senhheiser IE8i, one would say a bass monster, yes but only with HD2 or DHD, Sensations is a disaster.

Did they save on manufacture costs by using a low quality sound chip?

Anybody knows?

AA

PS PowerAMP still doesn't support Sensation SRS like with DHD.

I have to say audio quality through headphones is the best I've heard through a phone, and would rate it the same or higher then an Ipod but lower then a Cowon. I use mid/high end headphones as well (Klipsch s4 and creative aurvana 2) either way I think this phone will be my primary mp3 player from now on, I have a cowon which has the best audio quality but will prob just use that for the gym. Overall the audio quality exceeded my expectations make sure you have a decent pair of headphones which will help audio quality as well.

As far as speaker phone I think its average to below average, you can hear people but I dont think its loud enough, I cant imagine using the speaker to listen to music or watch a movie: I recommend going on amazon and checking out X-Mini II's which is a $20 portable speaker which works extremely well hopefully that helps a little

My audio quality through headphones are pretty awesome didn't expect this from a phone love it :)
[HTC Sensation] Amartier:
I'm coming from the HTC Incredible S, which had amazing sound when using SRS Enhancement. The most notable thing was the amount of bass it gave out. It was also supported by PowerAmp. The HTC Sensation sound awful compared to the Incredible S to me though. The bass sounds cheap and hollow, and there's something about the vocals that make it sound horrible. I use the app "Equalizer" to try and replicate the sound as best I can. However, when run in the background, the phone lags in the UI performance, and in games.

The Sensation's speakers are awful, but headphones with SRS turned on are great. I've also played with the built-in equalizer, but in the end turned it off and just stuck with the SRS enhancements.

I've used Volume+ to help with the speakerphone volume levels, and it also has a good bass enhancement feature. Might want to check it out in the Market.

Guys, the sound in headphones is not very good. If you want to listen to qualitative music of course. Although Sensation have a loud back-ground noise. Too incovenient to enjoy music. But normal for audio-books.
