Do you still have the Captivate? Can you download the files from TB to the Capti, then upload to your computer??

Also, you know you are going to want to root some day, why not just do it now??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessejess87:
Lol I am going to want to root. This is actually the first phone that does everything perfect. It is so fast. And I don't have the captivated anymore but I have all the files on my inspire SD card. All the.folders are there but just can't open and view the pictures
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf181818:
If you just want to backup your pictures.

You can plug usb cable then direct backup to your pc

I have a powermat that I got when my blackberry decided that charging through the usb port wasn't it's thing and it came with an evo back (long stupid story but it was cheaper that way) I absolutely love my powermat and although the evo back isn't as good as the blackberry's it's still a solid charging system. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Makdasamurai:
Its the powermat type of charger
[EVO 4G Accessories] Makdasamurai:
Does it have an actual back for the evo or the little mat you plug in. I just wanna try to eliminate cords now that my gf has an evo too
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crowordove:
It has an actual back :) no cords required although it does plug into the micro usb port
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crowordove:
Here's what the back looks like

and here's where it connects to the micro usb.

nm i see now
[EVO 4G Accessories] alexdogg:
i really dont recommend spending $50 bucks

i have a powermat with my evo 4g and i really dont recommend it...

its a cool device but youl find some definite flaws, you already know battery time is really short, so i needed to charge it every once in a while in the car or at the office so i had to disconnect the microusb thingy from the battery cover in order to plug the car charger or the pc cable, after a couple of weeks the little plastic tether broke so i have to keep an eye not to lose it since its small.

another thing that annoys me its that since you leave it all night the powermat kind of shuts off after battery is full only to turn on again after i dont know when.. the result is that sometimes in the morning i woke up and found out that my charge wasnt at 100% (or even 60%, dont know if its some power management failure or maybe my kernel).

hope this helps
[EVO 4G Accessories] creyc:
I have the same power mat and I agree with most points except the charging overnight bit. yes it does turn off when the battery is full, but as long as the phone is sleeping properly it should be very close to fully charged when you pull it off. mines always been full, so if you're having an issue I would definitely try a different rom/kernel or track down the offending app.

The little charging jumper is a bit annoying when you need to use a car charger, but so far mine hasn't come off it's rubbery tether. my biggest gripe with this charging mat is that the phone becomes incompatible with most cases, including my trusty otterbox commuter. It's definitely a cool thing to cut the wires and it's hard to beat the price ($39) but it does have it's downfalls...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puregreen59:
So, everyother device has CWM, Including my old Google nexus s, witch my girlfriend now has, (saved my poor old phone many times now) Serously dont know what girls do to there phones,

Anyway, back to the point, where is CWM for the SGS2?? :( i saw the "[ROM] XWKE7 1.2 by AngeloM " has it here is the link if you want to take a look, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104385

But before i try that rom, i wanted to do a backup of my current rom incase i dont like it, ... you see my issue, SO anyway while googlin about, AS you do, i came across a post (while drunk, witch is the problem) about CWM for SGS2 and then somthing about useing Rom manager to install it, both ways fail, the first way (non rom manager way) just DIDNT work full stop. the second way witch was to choose the I9000 (sgs1) and it should work, but the problem being here, is that ( if i remember my friend had a sgs1 and i remember him telling me somthing about this, ) it has Recovery 3E not 2e and Apprently 3e cant load unsigned zips? is this correct, if so how to get arround it? i beleave there was a method on the sgs 1 but i want to use a TRUSTED method for the sgs2 (in other words KNOW it works) as this would be a Expensive brick ;D

Hands on and Benchmarks of two MSM8x60 Phones - HTC Sensation 4G and HTC EVO 3D

They say more in-depth testing will be coming.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
What is this?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The HTC ChaCha and the HTC Salsa. Some Facebook-centric phones.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
The Sensation in the review is NOT "T-Mobile" branded, but the back cover does have the extra connector missing from the EU-Vodafone Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] hycian:
Can someone explain why the HTC Sensation is stuttering so much in web browsing, especially with Flash enabled? The GSII just smokes it, is it because of a better browser on the GSII?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAuNsHPnK3I
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
The short answer - Yes.

The longer answer - Yes, but...

The browser smoothness in the SGS II comes from Hardware acceleration - the only feature from it I really wished would come to the Sensation as well.

I do hope a software update would fix it, though I'm not sure whether that's possible. It seems that in terms of performance, according to the AnandTech benchmarks (back on topic), the Sensation has failed.

Badly.

And I'm afraid that although clearly the bloated (though lovely) nu-sense isn't helping that much. A Stock-based rom would make it run better, but then you'll obviously lose Sense, and the SGS2 with its Stock ROM would still be faster.

I won't cancel my order though. I still prefer it to the SGS II.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
wait, so why didn't HTC enable hardware acceleration? seems kind of dumb to me.
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
definitely dumb move from htc...can we port the browser from the sgs2 with hardware acceleration?
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
It really doesn't work that way.
[HTC Sensation] Proz00:
its not cause the sense ? its hogging the resource ?

with hd2 and non sense its running much faster then sense
[HTC Sensation] rd_nest:
I have read this so many times. Many say GS2 browser and TW has hardware acceleration enabled. But I don't seem to find any "official" confirmation of that nor any proof.
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
The disadvantage of the Galaxy S2-browser is the checkerboard-pattern displayed when scrolling (very similar to the iPhones browser).

When comparing performance, don't forget that the Sensations much higher resolution will put a higher strain on the phones hardware. But the benefit is obvious - much crisper text, more content displayed on a single screen compared to 800x480 resolution phones.
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
Of course not but still..it is really annoying that the samsung gs2 has a much smoother browser experience...
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
And GS2 users can be annoyed they have a lower resolution screen, requiring more zooming, and less text on the screen.
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
maybe but I guess they are not...I still dont get it why the hell htc hasnt managed to make a device with a really smooth UI + browser..I hate that...but I like Sense and its functionality so I'm going for a sensation
[HTC Sensation] erp2863:
I'm waiting to get the Sensation as my first Android device (coming from Blackberry), seen the video comparing the "smoothness" of the SGII vs Sensation, and have to ask... what is the big deal here? Excuse my ignorance if I'm missing something. So the SGII will scroll as smooth as your finger across the screen. How often are you reading a web page by continously scrolling, line by line. At least when I read on my BB, even my PC, I'll scroll a whole page down, read the page, and scroll another page.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Only browser test comparison I care about is Dolphin HD on both.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Good selection on your first Android. I'm glad you are getting a flagship. Hate when new Android users pick a garbage device then think Android sucks.

The big deal... to you would be zero. Either phone would blow your socks off. It only matters to those who want that phone that's 2.5% better performing than the second best phone.
[HTC Sensation] KingKuba13:
If you look at the sunspider and browsermark benchmarks you can see why its not as smooth or fast or whatever.

Nothing to do with SGS2 being anything special.

Something is not right somewhere going by these scores.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Why are people comparing the Sensation 4G to the Galaxy S II?

Who cares?

The Galaxy S II does not exist for the USA, and probably won't ever exist for T-Mobile users.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
But other parts of the world can use either or and have a choice. This is a global forum.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
There have been 10K shipped to the U.S. already just through Expansys. It's coming to Sprint in five weeks as the Within and AT&T and VZW as an LTE device soon after. A couple of reviewers/editors for the top phone websites imported them to use as their daily drivers. There are 4MM pre-orders on the books and its only out in six countries. When I dumped my G2X, I had to decide between the SGS2 and Sensation. I'm sure those in the U.S. willing to switch carriers are in the same boat. It's a pretty relevant comparison to all but T-Mobile U.S. users locked in a contract.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
+1 it's relevant. I completely agree!

Even to us TMOUS users just in case the Hercules is mostly the same specs. I've always been an HTC fan but Samsung has impressed me with the GS2 and I want to make my household an HTC/Sammy flagship house now.

Daddy gets his choice of best device of course! :D
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Can you all PLEASE get off this SGS II comparasion bit. I made this thread to discuss the ANANDTECH SENSATION BENCHMARKS. Please lets stick to the topic of

THIS THREAD

.

If you want to talk about other matters, please make a seperate thread.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
The irony Darnell is that even at the Anandtech site the comments end up being about the SGSII and benchmarking that. Brian was involved in those comments too. Almost impossible to read anything about one without the other popping up.

Back on topic... where the heck were the benchmarks? Looks like just a very simple hands on. I love Anandtech and when I saw your post I was excited to read it. First time in a long time Anandtech let me down reading an article.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Huh?

I'm guessing you didn't click the "next page" button? :D

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4416/...8x60-phones-htc-sensation-4g-and-htc-evo-3d/2
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
You guessed correctly! LOL I missed it somehow between the stupid FB phones and the comments.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Haha, all good.

Just remember when looking at the benchmarks that the Sensation has 35% extra pixels to deal with. Every other Android phone on the list aside from the Atrix and EVO3D are running at a much lower resolution.

From the article:

"In my limited time available, I was only able to run Egypt and Pro from GLBenchmark 2.0 (latest build, 2.0.3.1) on both the Sensation and EVO 3D. The graphs are unfortunately again a bit deceptive since we're dealing with 1.35x as many pixels in qHD than we are with WVGA."​
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
sorry, but I believe that there is something terribly wrong...how can it be that the thunderbolt beats the dual core scorpion on the sunspider javascript benchmark??even the motorola atrix with the same resolution is faster..look at the rightmark browsermark..even there the evo3d and the sensation are worse..I strongly believe that one core is doing the whole work and the other is not clocking to full performance...further I also believe that the sensation's software is far from final..sorry, but it seems to me that htc published a beta sensation...I hope the free market version of the sensation is better when I'm getting it...
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
From the article:

"SunSpider and Browsermark are the odd tests here. Performance isn't at the top or even competitive with the other dual-core SoC on the charts, Tegra 2. Instead, the Sensation and EVO 3D scores hang back a little bit. It's entirely possible that at least in BrowserMark some of this is the difference in resolution, but SunSpider just shows some aberrant behavior. From what I've learned at Uplinq (and a story is coming on it soon as well) Qualcomm closely works with OEM partners and the V8 project to optimize V8, the JavaScript engine in Android's browser, for the Scorpion CPU architecture, so we should in theory see better performance.

We still have a lot more testing to do when the Sensation hits our doorstep, and in spite of the curious browser benchmark performance numbers, the both MSM8x60 devices felt incredibly speedy in the hand."​
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
Two thoughts here (and my wife says that's about my limit for the day):

1) Its kind of flattering how the GSII is clearly faster, slimmer, and lighter, yet no matter how badly it trounces the Sensation in benchmarks, the comparisons won't stop. I think people still realize that although the GSII has some advantages, the Sensation still has a character that makes it a worthy competitor to the best phones out there. I think a lot of people also realize that in the real world, its performance is still great. Its like my Mini Cooper - there are lots of fancier, faster, and more expensive cars out there, but I'm the driver with the biggest grin on my face.

2) I'd like to see a real technical investigation into the question of the asynchronous vs. synchronous cores and how they are affecting the benchmarks. Anandtech would be a great source for this. I think once software is optimized for dual-cores (and the Snapdragon in particular) we will see much better performance out of the Sensation. What do the rest of you think? I'm just a noob, so I'd really like to hear what everyone has to say on this.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
I would like to see benchmark tests that do NOT run inside the UI bloated operating system but instead are bootable. To truly test just the hardware. It's what I do with servers in IT. But those tests may not appeal to the masses. The general public needs to know how it runs out of the box without them having to root and ROM. Most of us here at XDA want to know what is the best "under the hood". We know the chances of getting an optimized kernel/ROM are good.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
What benchmarks? I'm sincerely asking here, because Anandtech's recent Sensation article doesn't have the SGSII. An article clearly pitting both head-to-head with in-depth benchmarks would be great, especially from such a trusted source as Anandtech.

Two reasons:

"the GSII is clearly faster, slimmer, and lighter," -- However, the Sensation has a higher resolution screen AND a much better build quality (the SGSII has low-quality plastic etc). If the SGSII had a qHD screen (which it doesn't), that would hugely undercut the Sensation's benefits.

This is the absolute most important point of all: the SGSII is not available in the US, nor has it even been officially announced. If both were available on the same day, I guarantee you that a lot of the comparisons would instantly disappear.

Because 1) then people would just go buy whichever one they preferred and 2) there would obviously be a LOT more hands-on coverage on the internet to help people decide which to go for, rather than just speculation since 99% of the people in the US have not held either device.

The question isn't Sensation vs SGSII. Rather the question is: "Buy the Sensation now or keep waiting?"
[HTC Sensation] DemonoftheMall:
www.swedroid.se/test-av-htc-sensation/#more-38657

It's in swedish but the benchmarks should still be understandable.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I totally agree with you. I want to see more benchmarks that test just the capabilities of the device hardware. I'd like to see how what HTC has put together performs when no other bloat is in the way.
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
I agree. I just wish I had the cash to implement my answer!
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Seeing these benchmarks, I must say it is crazy to see how far behind the Sensation is in comparison to the Galaxy S II.

However, remember the rumors that the US version of the SGSII might have a Tegra 2, rather than the Exynos.

That would mean it would have performance similar to the 2X, which would pretty much mean a huge blow to the SGSII's advantage.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
Lol... I have noticed from your posts you refuse to aknowledge that HTC seems to be falling into its Winmobile days patters...

No way would Samsung release its flagship phone Stateside with the Tegra 2. Tegra 2 was meant for Countries where they need to make the phone more affordable.
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
Aish, the SGS II's benchmark performances are just sickeningly good.
[HTC Sensation] omersak:
that swedroid review was quality. all their reviews are, actually

thank god i don't care about benchmarks or else i'd be contemplating denying myself what is probably the best overall mobile experience out there right now :)
[HTC Sensation] Androidfreakz:
Lmao you people who live and swear by benchmarks are funny. Its like benching a Max high Res computer game vs a low Res one as far as games. Lower Res setting always perform better. Samsung devices clearly imitate iphon cheap plastic phones (my opinion) HTC is clearly better built than any Samsung product in my charge. I don't rely a petty benchmarks when I bought/pre-ordered my Evo 3D $179 wirefly, just from reviews the sensation and evo 3D there awesome phones that will have heavy dev support. The sensation has less ram and run at an higher resolution and manage to score well. There's more to a phone than a benchmark.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
Evo 3D is an amazing Phone.

HTC Sensation... not so much. Great choice on the Evo BTW.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
So you have personally tested the Sensation and the EVO 3D? :rolleyes:

Watch the Gold Cup last night? :p
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Actually, I didn't think anything of it until I saw the swedroid benchmarks. That's what is convincing me that maybe there really is a big gap in performance.

However, I don't know what you mean by WinMo days pattern?

What pattern did HTC fall into with Windows Mobile?

Also, Samsung has not yet stated which countries get a Tegra 2 SGSII. The US could very well get a Tegra 2 version.
[HTC Sensation] ptscon:
Sensation is clearly out shined by SGS2 in pure performance. Maybe it's time to accept that it's not the fastest device out right now.

Screen resolution is a silly argument. It slower in non graphical tests as well. The overall hardware is just not as fast.

Construction is a silly argument. Performance has nothing to do with the build materials.

Where it's available is a silly argument. It just is.

:)
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Disagree. If it supported more than TMOUS 2g I would own a Euro SGSII right now. So it's not silly.

SGSII is THE beast right now. No one is saying it isn't. We all also know very well that Sense, while it looks good, is never the most optimized version of Android. If you ran something like a fully functional CM with custom kernel (doesn't exist... yet) for both the SGSII and the Sensation I would bet you find that both of them would destroy any normal benchmark scores we are used to. The difference between the two would probably be negligible.
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
If the GSII looked like the Sensation id take it and if it were coming to Tmo. In my shoes theres not much choice; but I'm not a huge benchmark guy (on my phone) as long as it runs everything i throw at it without hiccups im good and from the benchmarks here it seems it will.

I think the Sensation got me with the similar lines of my N1; gonna miss that phone.
[HTC Sensation] ptscon:
Silly in regards to performance. Wireless band support do not affect benchmarks.

I doubt Sense has much affect on these benchmarks. Lets not forget that Samsung does not run stock Android as well. Since these are hardware tests, I would be more concerned about drivers.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
Some1 at work had a Euro Sensation.

Played with it a bit... No noticeable difference from my Inspire 4g. Inferior Screen on Sensation (SLCD vs SLCD).

TBH not totally impressed with it.

Evo 3D is much better simply because of the 3D aspect of it and its uniqueness.

During WinMo days what HTC did was basically release devices between Generation that were half decent upgrades (300 MhZ to 500, upgrade to HVGA resolution or upgrade screen size). But they would ALWAYS leave something which was not a big deal, but JUST big enough for every1 to realize it was missing.

Example... 1 generation has Camera Flash... Nxt Generation... Same hardware.. Bigger Screen... No Camera Flash??

Nxt Version... Same Phone with Camera Flash and Higher Resolution.

They basically made 1 change and then removed another feature... Every1 complaint... and then They came out with the HD2 which was an AMAZING Phone.

Another Example was... Releasing phone with no graphic Drivers so we had gimped devices.

I'v said it time and time again. There is NO WAY AT ALL that Samsung will release Galaxy S 2 with Tegra in NA (USA Canada) or major European Countries (unless deemed so by carriers Example Sprint getting GS2 Tegra... AT&T gets more expensive non Tegra 2).
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
i just run the An3DBenchXL test..i scored about 31k wich beats the gx2 and the sgs2

same results in this comparison:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spoaySnabDs

i think the scores are much more fair because they weigh the resolution during the scoring i guess...
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
That's good to see. You should even make a new thread for that, so it's not missed :) .
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Yet it's amazing how much longer it takes the sensation to load the tests. It's hanging behind every other device A LOT.

Besides, nice that it's beating the crap out of the SGS2 in 2 tests. Bad, that it's an epic fail in 2 tests.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
I beg to differ... I think the score is not accurately reflected.

Try smart bench 2011.

Ye... Hence why I think its not an accurate result.
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
lol its perfectly accurate.. while it may take it longer to load (sense slowing it down? )but when its loaded it plays all of those clips smoother than all the other phones even in a higer resolution.. and thats why it scores higher !
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Urgh, how should sense possible slow down loading of data? To me this sounds like you said that a crap graphics card in a computer would affect your data transfer rates.

Sense 3.0 IS a bigger resource hog than Sense 2.1, this weird TouchWiz or default Android UI, but really, with that much power in the back, how should it slow down loading actions like ****? :/

Take 2nd and 3rd test, the other phones beat the crap out of the sensation.

EDIT: Yeah I know, higher resolution and stuff..
