I returned my SGS2 as well and got Sensation instead.

Sound quality wasn't very good even with Poweramp.

I had a big hope that supercurio will come up with a solution as he did with original SGS, but here what he tweeted

I've lost my hope about GS2 will ever be a good music player like SGS.

Next Thing

I fully charged my SGS2 and turned on Google latitude (As i was travailing), my phone was in the belt pouch, after about three hours i pull the phone out to make a phone call i found my phone burning hot and battery was almost drained. Couldn't bare any more.

I came back home after few days, returned SGS2 and got Sensation.

Sensation is so far so good, Over all very satisfied. :)
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
I didn't mean to paint you as a fanboy. By the same token I'm not a fanboy either. Before the disaster that was the G2X my last five phone's were HTCs and I really liked all of them. I had to get the SGS2 because the Sensation wouldn't have been availbale before the G2X had to be returned to T-Mobile. I would have seriously considered the Sensation if that wasn't the case. I'm a phone geek which is why I'm following the Sensation; not to bash it. Both phones are going to have considerable strengths and weaknesses. We should be able to discuss them without threads turning in to page after page of "yes it is," "no it isn't." Peace.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
i completely agree with you.. but it will never happen because everyone has their opinion and that is what causes all of this nonsense. but fair is fair everyone has a preference but to force your preference on others really pushes my buttons. and you do have to admit they are other who go to other threads to bash others for what they want i do visit the sgs2 forums but out of respect i dont post there because i am not at this moment considering the phone but for knowledge i like to read how it is going.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Good decision.
[HTC Sensation] ironjon:
I'm agree with you good decision
[HTC Sensation] paocavallo:
I disappoint... Galaxy S II is much better!

Since 2003 I'm a HTC sure user but now I have to disappoint at all with you and with HTC!

I'm very sorry the new sensation is just considered worse than Galaxy S II but we have to admit this is the thuth!

1) Also if the Galaxy Display resolution (480x800pxl) is lower than htc sens (540x960) its technology is better than htc because is "amoled" and so we have a lower battery consuption, better coulor and luminosity, and better view when there is much sunlight

2) RAM: 1024Mb for Galaxy, 768Mb for htc: no words.....

3) Internal memory: 16Gb or 32Gb (depends by the phone version) for Galaxy while htc sens have got just 1GB! no words still!!

4) cameras: Samsung first one 8mpxl, second one (frontal) 2mpxl; for htc sens is 8mpxl the first one too, but 1.3mpxl the sencond one....

5) battery consuption: with a very similar usage Galaxy SII lasts about 2 full days, while HTC sens just 1/1,5days

I'm very sad to tell it but this time I'll change and I'll buy a Samsung...
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Good decision OP, who cares about SamSux. I'll give give them 2-3 month and all hell will break lose in there. SamSux bashing SamSux, look at our development section phones isn't release and no clockwork mod yet and we have 3 roms already. That just tells you HTC is more superior than SamSux. Untill they change their filesystem, HTC will be prefer choice for dev community. Don't matter what spec they have.
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
I loved the fact that the Galaxy S2 is a very sleek design, thin and light. But the drawbacks - especially in the software area - are very obvious. Their replacements of stock Google apps are, in general, not better but much worse than the original. Plenty of bugs still plague the software - the current version of Music player causes random reboots, data connection is stalling all the time.

Sense (from what I could test on colleagues phones - mainly Desire HD) seems much more thought out and usable to me. I will, still, probably switch to a stock Android ROM, should one arise. But I don't want to be dependent on that.

While AMOLED certainly does produce excellent black levels and saturated colours (maybe even oversaturated), after owning a Nexus One with AMOLED since release I do think the drawback of the technology is the inevitable screen burn-in you get after a few months of use. Nothing that is really bothersome, but LCD technology certainly does have its advantages (besides the higher resolution)

Considering the high RAM usage of Sense, 1GB would have been nice - but still, 768MB should be plenty.

The actual available application memory on the Galaxy S2 is about 2GB, the rest is formated as an internal SD card. In my situation, I typically have about 500MB of app space used - 2GB would have been a nice, but that will still leave me with plenty of headroom once my Sensation is here. A 32GB SD-card will take care of all other storage problems (mainly podcasts, music).

This will vary greatly, but the battery access cover on the Galaxy S2 is very flimsy and uncomfortable to remove. I always carry a second battery for my Nexus One, I will do the same for my Sensation. Changing batteries on the Galaxy S2 (as soon as replacements are available in stores) will be a hassle.
[HTC Sensation] ianst28:
i've done the opposite i've got rid of my sensation and have back ordered the sgs2 the biggest killer for me was the locked bootloader

i know that htc have said they wont lock any more phones but as yet they havent said that they will unlock previous handsets

i know i'm going to get flamed but i really didnt like the sensation it just didnt sit in my hand properly the sgs2 feels better ...... i know it feels cheaper but whats the point in having the expensive feeling phone if it feels wrong in your hand and therefore is difficult to use
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
You may get flamed by some of the fanboys, but at the end of the day it's all about what feels good to YOU and stuff the rest. I again prefer the more solid feel and try to avoid "cheap" plasticky feel, plus have been put off by plenty of users in many forums I've been to who knock Samsung's lack of updates. Hopefully for you they sort this out. Good luck with your choice ;)

I probably still have a month or 2 before the Sensation is available here, and am hoping for some positive news re the bootloader saga.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Who's flaming you? It's your choice and your right to choose which phone that fits your needs. I just don't like Samsux fanboy coming here trash talking.
[HTC Sensation] rd_nest:
Ya, right. What the f**k are you doing here? saving the world?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
There you goes again troll, this man use to have Sensation but dont like it so he bought SGII, I wish him well with his purchase just don't come back here and be a SamSux troll just like you idiots.
[HTC Sensation] Alcoholic:
What do you mean? The HTC sensation doesn't have HSPA+.

I thought they said "runs on 4G network".

[HTC Sensation] dilwaala:
I currently have a G2x as well as the Atrix. Ordered the Sensation and the SGS2 as well. Been using both the G2x and the Atrix for a while now and so far, I'm inclined towards the Atrix even though it has the locked bootloader simply because Ive had too many random reboot issues, freeze issues with the G2x (even though I've returned it twice) and I'm not concerned about the light bleed issue.

Once I've received the SGS2 and the Sensation (This Tuesday woohooo!!), I'll have all 4 to test with side by side. Will narrow it down to the top 2 and those are the ones I'm keeping :) I usually have 2 phones (1 work, 1 personal). If anyone has any suggestions or want me to look at/compare something in specific, let me know.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
It's funny..... These an@l trolls still lurking in our thread searching for every details to start **** up? My my..... Go flash some TouchCrap will ya.. LMAO
[HTC Sensation] :
You wish him well. As if it matters what you wish. What do you think about yourself? Einstein?
[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
That link is for the Sensation 4G, the US version. The one the OP is talking about is simply named the Sensation is for Europe.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Damn...SamSux trolls have just prove my point. Ignorant, stupid, chest thumping biggots. They like to start **** up, they think they're above eveything. NOT!!!
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
I think it's interesting how arguments have started between Samsung and HTC phone users now ALL on Android, when we used to be united against Iphone users. The point about Android is freedom of choice so selecting different makes of Android phone is part of that point. We'll have the unimaginative Iphone users laughing at us if we sub-divide.

However if you are going to compare specs, you need to compare features as well because there are quite a few features on the HTC which are not available on the G2 which I why I went that way.
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
For the guys who tried both phones...is the SGS2 ringtones way louder than Sensation?

I can accept a lower quality screen under sunlight but if the speaker is too low as DHD no thank you!
[HTC Sensation] CandyAndy:
Wow..what has happened to this forum? XDA used to be a great place where you could find useful information and especially the atmosphere was great.

Now here is such a hostile vibe all over? What is this Samsux talk honestly? It is a freaking great phone! Jesus christ guys..

I can understand Iphone vs Android talks somehow, because there we have completely different ecosystem. Android phones are relatives, same family.

Now I have been using HTC phones for many years. I loved them, well made and cool.

My last HTC was Desire and that phone rocked! There was however 3 issues which I couldn't stand. First of all it was hard to read text while being outside and secondly the internal memory was just way too little. I had to be constantly removing apps and doing factory reset. It was a pain in the ass.

Also battery life wasn't the greatest

When they first announced HTC Sensation(Pyramid back then) I was so excited about the phone and I think I was the first person to pre-order it here in Finland.

But then it struck me: Only 1gb of internal memory..double the size of Desire..only double the size of Desire.

Also in SG2 there is bigger battery than in Sensation.

Basically because of this I decided to get Galaxy S 2. And it is a freakin good phone period. Yes it has issues but if somebody comes and says that Samsux sucks booo, then I just have to say that get a life. There is other things you can do in life rather than bash phone from other brands, that is just so childish that I don't know anymore that who has occupied XDA, some 16 years old teens?

The reason I also want to read Sensation news is not to come here and brag: "Hahaaa, only 8/10 points in engadget".

No, I think that Sensation is also a great phone and in some aspects better than SG2 (while SG2 in other aspects is better than Sensation)

Also because SG2 is being haunted by this battery bug, I am curious to see whether or not you guys have it too. So is it a Google related problem or a Samsung related problem. To get more information.

Just don't know that what to fu*k is this all hostility here? XDA used to be such a great forum.

Cheers guys, enjoy your great phone! I hope you don't have similar problems with the battery life as we are having.
[HTC Sensation] dangerousp:
Amen.

I've got the Sensation, but the only troll in this forum is epsix.

Pro's and Con's for both phones. The desire memory issue is not anymore, because the free memory is really 1,09 GB instead of the +/-150 mb free on the desire.

Battery live after few charges is quite good.. lasts for 3 days with little use!
[HTC Sensation] cybermessiah:
Please some moderator... ban this nasty little epsix and his illegable grammar from XDA.

I'm laughing so much.... it cant be good for my health!!:D
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
Old xda...you've been here, under a year and xda's been going for 8...
[HTC Sensation] samnada:

[HTC Sensation] epsix:
I've purchase galaxy vibrant, I've seen people bashing each other like there's no tomorrow. So spare me your crap
[HTC Sensation] cybermessiah:
Ummmm... like I said I have a SGS2????!!!

Duh! I don't, actually.... LOL.

But ur response was entirely predictable! [YAWN!]

Though it might just be worth saying I do have one just to see you shove ur head further up ur ass!:D

Frakin hysterical!!
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
EVERYONE. Let's just collectively agree to ignore epsix until he is banned or some action is taken against him.

He clearly get some kind of joy from acting stupid, and probably gets off to other giving him some kind of attention.

How does that sound?
[HTC Sensation] cybermessiah:
Hehe... Agreed..

But you must admit.... it is quite tempting to wind him up and watch him make a **** of himself.. :o;)
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Hahaa you're right! :D:D

Also that "plastic troll" he said made my day :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] vikas776:
seriously ban this epsix kid

he only deserve ban here

i dont like my current phone , that does not mean i hate htc or i dont have respect who like htc phones

I love to have this phone but seriously this asshole forcing everyone
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
You guys just prove my point. Haters.....
[HTC Sensation] deadnc34:
+1 for this lol..

Btw, I go for the cheapest I guess :D
[HTC Sensation] jRi0T68:
I've been able to peacefully read posts on the Sensation, without having to read the ramblings of a retarded 9 yr old ever since I put epsix on ignore. I recommend everyone do the same.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
If im a 9 yrs old boy, SamSux fanboy must be 1 yrs old infant. SamSux fanboy are so low.. they vote 1 star for our dev in the development section.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
If you guys hate me then so be it. But don't go as low as giving our dev 1 star.
[HTC Sensation] gnan10:
for all of these........

mr. epsix you are banned now from this forum.....gudbye child....
[HTC Sensation] cybermessiah:
@ jRi0T68. Thanx for that info. Done!:D

người ngu tất cả mọi người ghét bạn!!
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
**ignoring trolls **
[HTC Sensation] XPLANE9:
@Epsix

Perhaps you should consider your own "trolling" manner before considering others as trolls. Those "SamSux trolls" as you call them never said anything against HTC or Samsung. Instead, you decide to come in here bashing them and becoming a complete joke of a HTC fanboy.

I come from the Vibrant forum so I am accustomed to trolls, and with such I hope that the Sensation forum does not become reminiscent of pre-Froyo Vibrant forums.

Then again, you will probably come bashing at me now. Welcome to my ignore list. :D
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
MODS HEAR OUR CRIES FOR HELP!!!!

mehh...Ignore list it is. :p
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Your cry?? Please its my cry.. Go to your thread lol...
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
Just out of curiousity, has anyone read a post from epsix that had any thing substantive in it? So far, using way too many words, these are the only things I've seen in any of his posts:

"Samsucks"

"Plastic"

"Troll"

"Fanboy"

So, no matter what the topic, his overwraught responses only contains the above four words rotated in different order. At least if some of the responses were original there would be some sort of entertainment value. Sigh.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Please... in all my posts did you guys see me said anything about Sensation is better than SGII? And i never use profanity against you guys.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Oh my God! WTF is all this hype about RAM? You are not going to run freaking CS3 on it are you?

Sorry lads, just couldn't bear that constant RAM,RAM,RAM.... bull****.:mad:

And, no, i'm not a fanboy, i would have gone for sgs2 if i liked it more than sensation, but i don't.
[HTC Sensation] paocavallo:
I'm agree with you!

All we love Android and HTC would be in anger with HTC and not amoung ourselves!!

HTC leader device hasn't got surely the best avaiable features of the moment!!!

...and still so low memory...so low storage...so short timelasting battery...so less sensitive tapping screen... so unredeable screen at sunlight...

come on, HTC! GO ON!!! I-M-P-R-O-V-E!!!! Don't go slowly!
[HTC Sensation] craigkahn:
I think RAM is something to be seriously considered. For example, have you ever owned a PC with too little RAM? Apps run slowly; the entire machine runs slowly. Double the RAM and it's like having a new PC. I'm not sure the exact same holds true for phones. It would interesting to see some comparisons between two phones with same specs other than amount of RAM and see how much (if any) speed difference there is.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
as you sated double the ram and its a big difference but at such a small number like 256 its not that much noticeable. i have owned and built tons of rigs and even adding 512 more ram didnt make that much of a difference also what really helped was the speed of the ram that was slightly noticeable but in this instance the 256 would look nice but it really wouldnt make a difference.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
From other discussions I've read about RAM/ROM/NAND it's not the present that's the biggest concern. With new OSs (EG: Ice Cream Sandwich) potentially needing more headroom, will current phones be able to keep up? Also, given more headroom, app developers write to what's available making running future apps a question mark too. I think if you're planning on keeping any of the Gen 1 dual-core phones for a year to eighteen months you'll be fine. If this is the phone you're planning to be buried with there might be cause for concern.
[HTC Sensation] yyhd:
NOTE: I read through the first 3 pages of this thread.

Spec-wise, the S4G does seem lesser matched than the SGS2. I have had more HTC devices, but recently got onto the Samsung bandwagon (esp because of the newer HTC phones being bootloader locked). Sometimes I feel HTC has some pretty unoriginal designs. Most of their devices are very very similar.

Either way, to each his own. If someone prefers HTC, that's cool. If someone hates HTC, let him be. I personally am very much looking forward to getting my hands on this hot device, patiently waiting for perma-root, and eagerly wanting to flash some custom roms on this baby!

PS: I am currently rocking a SGS2, which I am totally loving.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
i see you like alot of devices.... nice wish i could be balling like you
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
It's quite a bit different here. Android just shuts down processes it doesn't need when its low on RAM. It's more about how many you can run simultaneously rather than how fast the phone is when you talk about Android.
[HTC Sensation] Philio25:
I've had Sensation just over a week now, coming from the SGS. I was on the verge of sending it back last week because of all the damn bugs and sluggish UI.

In the end I figured I'd keep it for the screen, it's way nicer than the low res SGS2 and great for reading docs and web browsing (at least when it's less convenient to use my Xoom).
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
Re. the RAM 'issue'. I have a Sensation with loads of apps installed and loads of apps. running and and don't have a problem with memory.

Maybe when 'sucky sherbert' (or whatever they call a future version of android :p) comes out it might be an issue, but right now, it isn't.
[HTC Sensation] hassan:
Here is quote from SGS2 owner

I think i made a sensible move and got Sensation too as i had similar issues with SGS2.

Despite the large ram plus more internal storage its solid bulid software which gives you pleasant feel on your daily drive.

At the end its all comes to personal choice. Respect.
[HTC Sensation] :
Threads like this actually have no point and serve no purpose. Everyone here have a set notion. I can say for sure that 99% of people won't change their decision irrespective of what anybody says. We all can debate the whole of 2011, and still everyone will say he has the better phone. People use subtle diplomatic words, but in all it's just a desire to prove his/her point. I am sorry if I sound too pessimistic, but that's what it is. And I am sure my post is also as useless as the thread.

cheers..
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Why is it useless? It's for people's who has the phones either if it's htc or Samsung. They want to reports the problems that they're having. So others will know the difference between the two phones.
[HTC Sensation] yyhd:
I agree. Threads like this may seem useless, but it's very good info for people who are still deciding on which phone to get. By reading posts and comments from people who either own one, the other, or both, people can gain a better understanding of both phones.

Grants, users may already be pre-established in deciding which phone is better. However, for people like me, this thread is a very useful resource.

In the end, it really does come to personal choice.

Hmm, sluggish is because of HTC sense 3.0, i believe. Once this baby's bootloader is bypassed or unlocked, there'll be a whole new world of non-sluggish. hhaaha

[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
I've heard that the Sensation has overheating issues too. Have you tried doing something similar with the Sensation?

I'm hoping to get a Sensation soon. I'm in the U.S., so I've got to wait for the T-Mobile rollout. I'm also a little worried about my credit qualifying, so I might have to pay full price. I had a bankruptcy due to medical bills about a year and a half ago. Since then I've got a credit card, haven't missed a payment on the card or anything else, and even got my limit raised. I'm hoping that means my credit is good enough to qualify for a 2-year contract. Wish me luck!
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
That's why I'm not gonna pre order online. I'm gonna wait to june 8th and buy it at tmobile corporate store, if anything goes wrong i can return it and get another one without having to wait.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
Want a medal?

There is a similar thread in the Sensation forum. It's probably what happens, in terms of something to do with the manufacturing process, regardless of make or screen type.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Go away... babies crying for mod help pathetic.

IGNORE ON
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
If you look at the thread on this on the SGS2 forum the percentage of users affected is pretty small. It's still not appropriate on a high-end phone and definitely a QC issue.

The gradient banding that's been mentioned is a driver issue causing the phone to display in 16 bit (vs. 24 bit) in certain apps. It'll get addressed in an update, probably the 2.3.4 upgrade which should also address the OS suspend process that's eating up battery for some users.

Annoying? Yes. Appropriate in a high-end phone? No. End of the world? Also no.
[HTC Sensation] Andy2.2:
Epsix is such an idiot, that I think he has successfully put me off the sensation.

GS2 here I come ;)
[HTC Sensation] rameel:
I think if an idiot like him could change ur mind into getting the gs2, i think you are more of an idiot
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
liar... you already made up your mind you wanted the sgs2 from the beginning so dont blame anyone for nonsense. see i am different to epsix i go back and read previous post from everyone to see who really is a troll and who isnt
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Im not bashing samsung, i meant every phone is not perfect. There's no perfect phone. Someone post about Sensation have bad signal, where I live is in the boons very bad from tmobile , yes I like HTC but if people think I'm gonna spent 500 buck and have no signal in my house just cause I like htc is crazy hehe. With that info ill make sure I test everything.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
IGNORE the the cry babies :-)
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
well you've certainly changed your tone. Warning from the admins or moderators?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Nope. I'm just tired of you trolls that's all. "Mod Save us hear our our SamSux voices " pathetic crying little infants.
