[Eee Pad Transformer General] alphamancer:
So I've made a bit of a discovery that leads me to think the unit is defective.

When I use the method you mention I hear a clicking sound which I think I've correctly identified as the tablet turning off. Once I hold the button 2 more seconds, Windows recognizes the tablet and has installed the proper drivers so the tablet is on at least at some low level.

The screen however remains black even in a dark room (no backlight visible). I have looked but I cannot seem to find an Asus tech support number for this tablet. Also because I can not get the screen to turn on I can not activate debug mode so I cannot get into ADB.

Try Nvflash, should fix any brick. If Nvflash doesn't work it's pretty much a DOA for sure.

Hai..

I have a GS2, which is my first android device. Now I'm woundering, is it possible to purchase apps and pay with the phone bill?

Since I dont have a credit card :(
[General Questions and Answers] KyleBryant:
The last time I checked it is entirely possible. Just buy the app in the pc version of the app market and when you click purchase, I think it gives you options. At least it worked once for me, not sure if it still does.

[EDIT]

It might only be for app's specified by your carrier though, not quite sure.
[General Questions and Answers] bruflot:
Hmm.. When I sign in on my account, and tries to purchase the game, clicks Continue and then nothing happens!
[General Questions and Answers] Babydollll:
In the US ( I noticed your not from the US, but I can only base my answer on the US, since I live here/there) T-Mobile US will only allow you to purchase apps that are in US currency. If an app is paid for in another currency the Carrier option won't work. Check that the app you want to purchase is in your currency and/or call your carrier to ask their policy. (FYI just because an app displays the price in your currency doesn't mean it isn't processed in a different one. Use Titanium Backup as an example, it says in the app description that it uses Swiss Francs)
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
Hi All,

I'm new to Android/Rooting. I used the SOC root method to root the phone, and now I have some questions I'm sure more knowledgeable folks can answer.

First and foremost, I know a recovery is in the works/testing phase and will soon allow alternate ROMS to be loaded. Until that time, I need to know what apps/processes I can safely remove from my phone without bricking it.

I know I can and have killed Bing and BingVoice. As well as stupid apps like Blockbuster, CityID etc....

What about things like VCast Apps? Verizon Media manager? Widgets?

There seems to be a lot of processes running in the background that I have no idea what they do.

I know each phone has different bloatware, is there a list for the Revolution?

Also what is the difference between uninstalling and freezing an App? Is there a free way to freeze an app?

Thanks for any advice
[LG Revolution] kwiggington:
Yeah all the vzw apps can go
[LG Revolution] kwiggington:
There is a thread about this already in the general section they have a list there

Sent from my Revolution
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
Thanks. I was unable to find such a thread before I posted here. Can you please point me to it?

Is it better to freeze an app or uninstall it? Are there free apps to freeze an app?

Anybody having an issue with using Google's voice search, or the keyboard's speech-to-text feature?

When I first initialize these features, they don't seem to turn on the mic. I usually have to hit back, and try again. Seems like a software bug; a delay in the mic initialization.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I haven't noticed any issues, and I use them quite frequently. That said, I also don't pay much attention because it doesn't always work well for me, so I frequently need to try again. Will try to pay more attention as I use them.

I just want to state here that I am a newbie to the Android world. However, this wonderful site helped me 110% to root, install custom recovery and flash my LG Optimus one ( P500 )... in just a few hours!

I now know so much about the Android OS and just can't thank the founders of this forum enough!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ashokabs:
Fund of knowhow from xda forums

I agree with you. After buying the LG phone on a whim I was reading about various possibilities of modifying Android phones and I came across XDA Developers website. Soon I was hooked. I was reluctant to root at first then I got over that. After rooting what? Then taking the bull by its horns I flashed my first ROM - Megatron. I must have messed up somewhere during setting up recovery to do this as my phone got stuck in the Android loop at startup. Managed to recover by going to Emergency using 3 finger salute and then reflashing using KDZ then rooting etc. Finally I had Megatron and it was quite an experience to see the improvement in performance and overclocking. Then on reading a lot it was devoid v5 and v9 kernel. Moved up with this to new Devoid and kernel 16. Some of these worked fine upto about v13. Thereafter, there was a kind of maniacal rush to upload kernel after kernel - some of these were not properly tested before issue and I found that v16 and its variants gave me problems with random reboots and some hanging.

Finally got hold of the 2.3.3 version (leaked ROM v20A) and have been running Gingerbread for 1 week. Everything is smooth in performance but some things like phone app are slow in searching for contacts. Much slower than on devoid and kernel 16. All in all am reasonably satisfied. Now waiting for the official release and the sources so the hackers can get busy with tweaking the ROM and Kernel to death. We can then look forward to screwing up our phone as well .. as we get more adventurous it gets more and more dangerous that we will brick our phones...

Hi,

Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?

Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options. :D

The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.

http://www.unlock-network.com/

Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15

http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html

I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?
[HTC Sensation] raegae2000:
I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Congrats! ;)

Was it unlocked for $590

If so that seems like a very reasonable price.

How much was the shipping?
[HTC Sensation] raegae2000:
Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.

Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD

Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:

[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
any updates on any of those unlocking websites?

which ones cheaper/faster/etc?
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
So a quick update on my end.

I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.

Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.

With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)

Its supposed to come unlocked.

Here is the link... expansys.ca

if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)

Will update once I get it ;)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.

still looking around to find a way to unlock it:(
[HTC Sensation] sonnysekhon:
If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.

They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.

Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years :)
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge? :mad:

So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?

Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

death grip issues?

Can you tell us which store you bought from in p mall?

Also, there have been rumours of a deathgrip affecting wifi and bluetooth if you hold the top of the phone, especially holding the phone in landscape. Any experiences with dropping of wifi and bluetooth?
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
The death grip issue you mention I assume is similar to that reported by GSMArena?

There is a thread covering that issue on XDA check it out for more information. From what I gather its a hit or miss issue. Not everyone is affected, but it is also not unknown.

GSMArena has also updated their post regarding this, and they are questioning if there maybe different versions of the phone. They showed a picture where their phone was missing a set of antenna contacts.

I honestly am staring to wonder if the site got a Hexed unit. Their battery tests on the sensation also produced poor results. Reading the forums here, people seem to fair much better. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Another update on my on going story.

So I ordered from cellworldco for 529 + tax + shipping ~ $622 total

That was 3 days ago. Payment cleared right away, since I used paypal. The order is still sitting in "processing" status. I called them yesterday and they knew exactly the order. Even identified it as "the HTC Sensation Order", then assured me it would ship yesterday. So far no tracking number.

I will contact them again today, and if the order is still not shipped I will try another company.

So far my experience has not been positive, so I would NOT recommend dealing with this company.

Canada post is on strike! mine has been stuck in their warehouse for more than a week now because of the strike:(
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
It has nothing to do with Canada Post. They still have not shipped the phone.

Also I paid for UPS Express shipping. Which is next day.

I called them again, today and the product still has NOT been shipped, the line I was given this time is UPS went to the wrong location. I am now assured that it will be shipped Monday and I was offered some crappy battery to make up.

One last chance, with this company.

I can't believe its so difficult to spend $600.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
ur lucky then...i dont think ill get mine anytime soon...
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Lets hope the NDP stop screwing around and let the Back to work Bill go through so you can get your phone. Taking mail/parcels hostage... seesh :rolleyes:

I will only believe mine has shipped when I get a tracking number, until then I am no better off than you. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
OMG I guess with blood rage eyes I missed your post, thanks so much for the offer. :p

If I don't get a tracking number for this package on Monday I may take you up on your offer.

What are the particulars? price/shipping method etc?
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
already did, @ launch, paid $700 BNIB off craigslist for the sensation 4G starters kit.

upgraded from the TMO HD2, with imilka froyo sense 2.1, and its like i have 3x the phone now :) im only disappointed that TMO cut the performance in half with 2.3.3 >:(

also, just took off the stock screen protector, noticed dust and a dead pixel or 2, and ive already emailed HTC about how i can exchange a US TMO fone from canada...still no response, not looking good...but other than thats its a sensational phone! (pun intended)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
keep us updated on the exchange/repair status plz...a lot of us will have the same problem i assume.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
for sure, heard a lot of ppl who are doing returns everywhere else are going to where they bought em, or mailed to the provider...hopefully HTC doesnt ignore the HUGE customer base up in the great white north...ive had 6 HTC fones now, last one being the phenomenal HD2 (only issue was the power button/digitizer, which was fixed surprisingly easy with minor DIY) but this is the first HTC fone ive had with dust/dead pixels...apparently this fone's first 2 batches suffer the most...the worst part is that the "dust" under my screen is clearly a persons fingerprint :/ will upload a pic when possible
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
STILL no response from HTC, i think they are leaving ppl who buy the phone out of region high and dry...when i had issues with my HD2, i got a response in 45min, and others are saying that HTC tends to respond within a day or 2...this is very disappointing, but i will wait another day or so before sending the same request as last time :/

the funny thing is that they emailed me a incident tracking # right after i sent the request, but there is NO WAY to track or input that information...

is it just me, or since HTC got huge, their customer support has gone down the drain? lol HTC fb page is the perfect example :P that, and a lack of community support here, and no unlocked bootloaders, especially for the EVO 3D, which was supposed to come with S-OFF out of the box o.O
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
I bought mine from a Wind mobile store in Vancouver that imports unlocked Sensations into Canada and then sells them for $550 + tax ($613 in BC).

Their site is a little "meh", but all the info is there:

http://www.cellworldco.com/

Only go to their main "head" office on Kingsway.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
Htc finally replied, nut with a generic email template, so I called them and got a MUCH better response. The do honor the warranty for 12 months after the MANUFACTURE DATE, not the purchase date...the only downside is that they require a credit card to process the repair request incase there is any physical damage outside the scope of the warranty...

Also tried to squeeze some info from the tech support, but even at tier 3, they can't disclose an ETA or the list of devices that will receive the bootloader unlock :/

The good news is that if you speak to tech support and request a follow through survey, an automatic survey will call you the next day, and at the end of it, you can leave a detailed voicenote with your grievences and that goes straight to the top of the tech support food chain!

htc sensation death grip update

picked up a phone from p mall. no problems with wifi. while still in the mall i turned on wifi. picked up handful of networks. covered the ends of the phone in various ways. weaker networks would drop but stronger ones dropped a bar or so. i think this is normal when you block the antenna of any phone. nothing significant.

there seems to be some debate on the 2 contact vs 3 contact issue. mine is 2 contact international version. version with tmobile branding. no wifi issues with 2 contacts.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
I have just gone through the totally opposite experience with this company.

I ordered the phone last week for for $529, for almost a week they kept on lying to me on the phone, first was "we missed the ups pick up call time, we called yesterday and they will come today". Next day, "UPS went to the wrong location, but we will ship it for sure on Monday, we have it right here for you." Called today, "oh we can't ship it because your shipping address is unconfirmed by paypal".

If it was really an issue with the shipping address why was I not told this the numerous times I've called? And it wasn't like I was just dealing with a worker who was in the dark. Each time I called I was put on hold while the rep "checked on" my order.

Week of my life wasted, the experience of buying a new and exciting phone ruined, and damn right I'm getting a refund.

I will never deal with these people again. :mad:

Mainstore? That was always the number I called.

Since that time the price of the phone has gone up to $550....

I bought mine from http://www.welectronics.com.

Has anyone successfully ordered from Expansys? I was too excited and quickly jumped on ordering, only to find out afterwards that there are tons of horrible reviews regarding Expansys' processing delays and horrible customer service.

Hi !

I'm sorry if I'm not posting in the right category, but I still not have the right to answer or post in the HTC Desire section.

My question is related to the downgrade tool. I have the same problem as a lot of people ... My Desire is stuck on a black with the white HTC logo and an exclamation mark in each corner of the screen (picture in attachment), and when I unplug the USB, it displays the second image of attachment.

To be able to execute your DownGrade tool, I have to enable USB debugging, but since my phone doesn't boot, it seems a bit difficult :confused:

Could someone tell me how can I enable USB debugging mode with the Windows or the Linux terminal ? Or another manipulation to get my phone working again ?

My phone is bricked for 3 days, and it's becoming embarrassing. I tried the solutions proposed by many tutorials (including one about the downgrade tool) but none of them helps me :(

Any proposal or idea for me? :D
