[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
Hello all,

Been looking at this phone for a while, want an upgrade my desire as

it just lags bit much more then i like and battery not as good.

My question is:

What is the vodafone stock levels like? Where is the best place to buy i.e. shop , online , phones 4 u.

Ive been looking forums and seen people saying online have been having stock issues , so was just curious?

On a side note , has anyone upgrade from desire/similar and can

say its worth the upgrade? I worked out it only going to cost me around £100 to

upgrade which I'm happy to pay - but is it worth it? (After i sell the phone and cancel my current contract etc..)

Also , how much internal memory has the desire got left to use on first boot?

Not seen a deffinate answer yet? I've heard around 1gb?

Any plus/minus is worth knowing to help my decide?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
I've heard it's a great phone, with few issues.

But I've heard from some Desire users and DHD users that it's not much of an upgrade, in that you could pass it off as a "Desire-PRO." The feel will be pretty much the same, just with a better camera and touch screen buttons at the bottom. I've also heard that Sense 3 is not that much of a big step up. (the homescreen has a different animation, though)

In my opinion, from a Desire, the only thing your really upgrading to is the new lock screen, speed improvements and more storage.

(There's more RAM, but you get left with 197MB actually available for apps to actually use. On my Desire, I get 155MB left available for apps)

Of course if you a HTC fan, and that's what your looking for, then by all means it's a great phone, after all the Desire was pretty amazing.

If you fancy a change, you could look at the Atrix or GSII (or one of the optimus phones)

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I don't actually have a Sensation, but have been intensively reading the forums for the last month or so. (I'm in the process of deciding what to upgrade as well)
[HTC Sensation] saquib:
If the QHD screen is not the killer feature for you, you can quite easily run Sense 3.0 on the DHD, as many people are doing already.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
I agree. qHD is a "failed" technology. It's pretty damn good, but it's an "inbetween technology." It'll be around for 4-6 months and then we're going to have ultra-high-resolutions in the market, which will simply triumph all other displays.
[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
Thanks for that useful stuff!

im seriously thinking now. I think i would love the bigger screen size and quality ,

im agains the samsung simple for the feel of it, i hate the galaxy s , as i class the feel of the phone as one of the most important (as doesnt matter how good a phone is, if you hate the feel in your hand then not very good)

Im confused about the quote, you mention ram at the start then say only

197mb free for apps,

do you mean there only 197mb internal memory spare for apps?

If thats true that is a big minus!
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
No, by 197mb RAM i mean that, that's all you have for apps to use - RAM is not storage. RAM is Random Access Memory. Basically the more RAM available, the more things the phone will be able to do WITHOUT lagging up and getting slow.

In the beginning i was referring to 1GB of space of internal storage to store all of your apps.
[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
Cheers for that -

Heard any issue with stock? ideally i want to walk into a shop on Friday and pick one up, might ring first just in case
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
Hi Phil,

I got mine yesterday from Phones4U, they had no stock problems as far as I know.

It has around 600Mb+ free for app installations (plus the 8Gb SD card of course). As previously mentioned, there is about 200Mb RAM free on boot too.

Only lag I've had today has been when updating the Vodafone settings (data plan stuff) which needed a reboot, but I'm guessing it was just a glitch with one of the apps using the connection at the time, as otherwise, its been as fluid as a, erm, fluid thing.

Battery: pretty much constant web, market and facebook chat usage on 3G, plus a few 3 or so minute calls = down to 12% battery by about 2pm (unplugged 7am)
[HTC Sensation] LadFromWales85:
rp-x1 - Does your Phones4U Sensation have Vodafone branding or is it running Generic Europe firmware?
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Plus Bluetooth 3, plus twin-CPUs, plus HDMI out ........ :D

Dave
[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
Thanks useful stuff coming from someone who brought it !

And yer the screen and speed are my biggest wants . 600 mb is plenty so that sorted that problem!

Im edging towards it closer and closer! Specially as my desire battery seems to be dieing , i was one first to get one before the release date so had it 15 odd months and battery life getting worse and worse.
[HTC Sensation] RaymondScrott:
Also thinking of upgrade from Desire to Sensation but worried about losing the optical joystick (or whatever it is called). I seem to use it a lot for close up fiddly movements of the cursor. Does new software cope without it? Do any new phones still have the hardware?
[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
I was worried the same untill i played with my boss's desire s (without the trackpad)

HTC/android has some new little arrow buttons you can use to be more accurate which is why the trackpad has been removed on all new phones.

Takes a while to get used to it but it made me happy not getting a trackpad
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
Hi, it has Vodafone branding, but can only see the Vodafone logo on boot and a 360 app in the list. Otherwise it 'looks' largely untouched

I started a facebook EVO 3D group. I'd like to invite any facebookers to join. I constantly ad links to androidcentral.com and XDA-Developers.

Type in "Sprint's HTC EVO 3D"

I'm waiting for the EVO 3D to come out. I am constantly on the threads and AC to see when a price and release date will be announced.

I'm currently an EVO owner and I love it. But I love the fact that the EVO 3D is the EVO and then some!

[Vibrant General] oka1:
FYI

For those who missed it

Remember a Kies update was pushed 10 days ago (for those who actually use it)

Well the UK has been getting the 2.3 JVO version update for the last 4 days

http://www.techwafer.com/2011/05/18...-upgrade-for-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab/

Also the source code for GB was posted on the http://opensource.samsung.com/ ..... for the gt-9000 (euro galaxy phone)

Who knows when we will get it......... here in the USA
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Wasn't there a thread a couple of minutes ago about a supposed official announcement from Samsung about GB on Vibrant? Was it deleted? :D

Anyway, As was already announced in the recent conference, we should be getting GB by the end of this month so...
[Vibrant General] 啊喔鹅咦呜鱼:
all galaxy s series?

include T-mobile vibrant?
[Vibrant General] timmyja:
did it state vibrant?
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
The whole SGS line is getting 2.3, just the North America variants later than the I9000. The SGS of the article is the I9000.
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
The international version of SGS has no provider crapware. This is why they get updated ahead of the T959. I don't think TMO will let it out because if it does, their new android phones will not sell. Why would you want to buy a new phone that has 2.2 when you can have 2.3 on a already powerful enough, georgous looking phone?
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
True but I with the new enforced Google decisions on Android updates , that T-Mobile was part off, I can't see them delaying this any longer. We'll see the official GB by the end of this month me thinks.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
End of this month? I doubt it.

Next month? Probably greater chances.

They give about 1-2Weeks of OTA/Kies updates usually.. so yep
[Vibrant General] jdm4u:
well considering for 2.2 sprint was rumored to get it first, then all of a sudden t-mobile came out of no where with the update first. That's what i'm hoping will happen with 2.3. Sprint already has some leaked builds of 2.3 for the epic so we can only hope. But definitely should see it by the end of this month. If not we should harass google.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
as i said before most of us will be on sg2 or hercules or other phones before we get gingerbread..the funny thing is i might be right
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Wow I've been running gingerbread for almost 2 months now.

That's okay though when it does finally officially get released or even leaked for Vibrant we'll have every last bug out of Simply Honey while most others are just starting to dev on GB.
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
I'd be more apt to say .........July!! :cool:
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
End of the month has next to no chance of happening.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I still think it will be released by 2012, or maybe late 2011.
[Vibrant General] Berney:
need a long time...
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Ya I would have to go with 2012 I mean that gives tmo all the time in the world to load this puppy up with old magenta and hell by then something new they think is needed:D
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Knowing in the end that the only thing they added is a damn wifi calling and it took them 6 months.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Speculating on when we are going to get Gingerbread officially from samsung is pointless, it will happen when it happens. Until then we should just continue supporting our devs that have been working so hard to bring us 90% working gingerbread roms such as Simply Honey, Asgard, or CM7, and any others I may have forgotten.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsisnametake2:
Hi all,

I noticed now in Gingerbread the sms and htc mail icons no longer hold their unread count display after opening and closing the app (without reading the messages/mails). Is there a mod anywhere to change it to how it was in Froyo? Ie always display unread count apart from zero...

Cheers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsisnametake2:
No one else having this issue?

I found that SMS Unread can replace the SMS widget ico - the icon is not the correct size tho. Displays the unread permanantly tho.

Can't find a workaround for the HTC Mail tho. What with this and the fact that Exchange Sync syncs non-stop with Gmail in the HTC Mail app. Bit annoying.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekayman:
that's one annoyance with the gingerbread update ... really wish it would show the actual unread count not just the unread count since the last time you went into the app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idool:
I have the same issue.. Very anoying indeed!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTP:
Anyone ever figure anything out on this one. Just gone to Gingerbread on Desire, and it is somewhat annoying.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsisnametake2:
Never got it figured. it was too annoying so i went back to froyo, which i'm very happy with. a friend of mine just got a Sensation. it has the same problem. crazy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PretoriaZ:
How did you downgrade to Froyo?

I'm planning to do that same and unable to figure out how... The only reason is unread count not getting display in the mail app....

Don't want to be the party pooper, but doesn't this need to be on an HTC device due to the HTC infrastructure? Seems like a high order to get ported. Just food for thought. Although I would definitely rock it if it came to G2x.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Sense is heavily rooted deep into the OS, at least it was when I made Windows Mobile roms w/ Sense.

I think the biggest part comes from needing drivers. I don't believe the source of Sense is available and I think "ports" come from similar devices.

The HTC infrastructure can be replicated (partitions). My Nexus One had Sense roms but required changing the partition table.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] katiepea:
Thanks for the thoughtful review, I can really tell you're an intelligent guy. There must be thousands of morons all over these forums who keep installing sense roms even though they suck. Its amazing htc even sells phones at all given how bad you say they suck. Sense is a lot more than just a launcher. It has a level of integration which a LOT if people like. So next time you feel the need to give a review, try being informed of the subject material before you end up having to wipe your mouth after you speak.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WorldWide60:

Sense = Dumbed down version of Andriod. My 12yr old daughter loves it on her mt4g my grandfather loves it on his thunderbolt. Being that I'm an "intelligent" guy I prefer an AOSP-ish rom I don't need friend streams or animated weather widgets... Sense is the "call of duty" of roms so easy a cave man can do it......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] katiepea:
Good for you for taking the hard road man. Hats off. Lord knows adding user friendly options is always a bad thing right? Wait, no it isn't, its great that you love aosp roms, you know what's so great about aosp, it's open, open means choices. So lets not belittle other peoples preferences just because you feel the need to be leet.

I personally love both, I have a gingerbread sense rom on my nexus one that is much more enjoyable than stock. Dialer is better, contact pictures sync at a high res, theme options, sound profiles, improved lockscreen, better multitasking, better mail client, better sms app.In fact you can thank sense for making android so popular in the first place. Sense sells a lot of phones,

Enough with the bashfest.

The beauty of Android is that it can be whatever you want it. While I may not be a fan of Sense, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. Just not my cup of tea.

Anyway, to the OP, I'm sure a port is possible. With the N1, there were a ton of sense port that ran flawlessly on it. One of the biggest hurdles I remember was the kernel as that was key to getting BT/wifi working. Just need a developer willing to spend the time to make this happen.

This theme is my interpretation of how Gingerbread should look out of the factory.

GB: The way it should have been v13; now known as New Wave GB: DOWNLOAD (t-mobile theme .apk)

This next theme is very minimalist-It only themes the settings images, notification power widgets and some of the taskbar images..

Note: The profiles icon has since been changed to match the theme.

Making Sense: DOWNLOAD

Instructions:

Install via android package manager :D

Open theme chooser

Select the newly renamed NewWaveGB theme

reboot

Maybe someone can help with the problem I am running into.

I rooted the Xoom after the 3.01 update using the one click method and had no trouble flashing BRD's kernals. After thr news of the 3.1 update. I ran the SBF files to return everything back to bone stock. I had no problem installing the OTA update.

Here is where I ran inro the problems. I tried to play a video thru Google Video app and received error 49. My device was SBF'd and unrooted so wtf could the problem be? I just installed the OTA so why won't my video app work?

I started tinkering and thought maybe. the sbf didn't relock my Xoom so I ran the fastboot commands to relock and I got the dreaded LNX 0x0004 error at the boot screen. After about an hour of freaking out I managed to get my Xoom to fastboot protocol support and unlocked and it rebooted and works properly but I still can't watch videos and I now also have the movie studio app back when it had disappeared after the OTA.

On how to root or unlock my htc evo
[General Questions and Answers] scotty1223:
the evo 4g from sprint is a CDMA phone only. sim-unlocking it will not let you use it on GSM networks,as it has no GSM radios. the code unlock mentioned above will likely not work. the sim in the evo is for 4g only,and may allready be unlocked,for what thats worth.

if your phone has allready upgraded to 2.3.4,then you will need to downgrade to a rootable froyo. if your hboot is still s-on,then the process will be more difficult,but still possible.

google is a good tool-quick search brought up this:
