[Thunderbolt General] mastibeta:
Does anyone have 100% stable wifi tether with any tether app? I tether to my ps3 for netflix and gaming. It is fine for a bit then mobile network just starts cycling. From that point its worthless.
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
I use it often for netflix or other video or music playing, anything that can buffer, and it works fine but I dont think I would trust it for gaming.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
stable and wireless dont go together
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
Geez....get cable internet.

[Thunderbolt General] NickWarner:
I think this hits it on the head. Buffering is your friend on mobile/wireless networks, more so on a mobile connection shared via a WiFi connection. There are just too many variables there for latency-sensitive applications.

I'm not entirely convinced it's your tether, though. You say that your LTE connection begins cycling. What ROM/Radio are you on? I've never had trouble with leaving the connection open for long periods of time. Sometimes it drops, but it's never begun cycling.
[Thunderbolt General] mrslax:
I game on the 4G usb modem from Verizon in a 3g area... Works fine
[Thunderbolt General] dms76:
Doesn't gaming require very low latency? I thought Mobile Wifi hotspots had extremely high latency?

[Xperia Play General] blonqe:
Hi all, i've been all over the internet including the gameloft forums and cant find a fix.

Gameloft support are useless, every time i ask a question they send a free game (yes i'm complaining), without an answer.

I want NOVA 2 to work.

The game crashes after the intro video, i see a loading logo music starts then it just closes, not warning error or nothing.

Is it just my Xperia Play? i know other people have had this problem but its seems to be small majority.

I'm in the UK.

I have a sim free Xperia play with a T Mobile contract.

I have Version 1.0.2 of NOVA 2.

2.3.3 Android

I am not rooted or unlocked.

All my other gameloft games work fine.

Could it be another app causing the problem?

Any advice or help would be great, i am going slightly mad with this problem.

Blonqe.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Play another game
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Works ok for me.

The look control sucks anyway. What the hell? We have to slide it like a track ball. That sucks badly when some is shooting you in the back.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Yep. Gameloft need to sort the look controls to work like a control pad and not a touchscreen for all their fps games.

@OP Downgrade to 2.3.2 and all Gameloft games work fine.
[Xperia Play General] blonqe:
Not true, I bought it first day of release and back then I was still on 2.3.2. Same problem as I still have today!
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ok.

Solution then -

When you see nothing but black screen, hold down the home key and then select Nova 2.

Or hit the home key to go to home, then hold the home key and select Nova 2.

Gameloft black screens are fixed simply by reselecting the game without actually exiting it.
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Rainbow 6 is a good game
[Xperia Play General] blonqe:
Thanks for the solution, unfortuantly I have tried this, works for modern combat 2 but not nova 2.

Like I say the game loads I hear some music while the loading screen is on, then it justs knocks off!

I'm clueless and I think gameloft are too, thise forum was my last go at finding a solution :-(
[Xperia Play General] mastertiti2000:
I have the same issue, I've found any solution: uninstall, reinstall, reset settings of the phone, nothing. Crash after the video intro and go back immediately on the home screen. I have a play in 2.3.2 with gingerbreak.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
If you publish the logcat of the whole process from opening the app to the FC, there may be a chance to see what's going on.
[Xperia Play General] blonqe:
Dorry to be a complete noob, where do I find the logcat and hoq do I obtain it?

Step but step would be appreciated.

Cheers

[HTC Sensation] Idle Mind:
Really after a case to keep my phone in pristine condition but seeing as no shops in town have accessories yet I don't really want to buy completely blind online.

How many people have bought a case for their Sensation? If you have would you be able to give a link to which one you bought and a quick review of it?

Mobilefun has just got 2 different case-mate options in stock, I was thinking of going for their 'barely there' case for £15.95 - anyone ordered one of those yet?

My other two options are either waiting for the official HTC TPU case to come in stock or mobilefun have their own case which looks quite good for £10 - just called 'frosted back cover' but not sure if that'll be as good quality as the others.

Any recommendations?

I'm after something a bit rubberised but not floppy like silicone ones, quite a moulded fit round the back of the phone and preferably without adding too much bulk.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Bought mine from ebay, gel case under 2 quid. I am satisfied with it.
[HTC Sensation] OneStepAhead:
Here is a preview of our Smoke GeoTPU case for the Sensation, going live today. Thoughts?

Also just got in from the factory high gloss black and high gloss smoke (no pattern). Clear GeoTPU and High Gloss Grey will be coming later in the month.

All of our Sensation cases have a cutout for the power button and a molded volume rocker. Thin, lightweight... weigh about 21 grams, raised wrap around edges. :)
[HTC Sensation] OneStepAhead:
And High Gloss Smoke (no-pattern)....
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Thats pretty nice-looking! Hope it will be available on amazon germany soon. I like the pattern on the back.
[HTC Sensation] OneStepAhead:
I do put them on Amazon but I only have US shipping options on there. I had done worldwide before but Amazon gives customers an estimate of I believe 14 days for First Class Mail, and in my experience MANY packages take longer then that to certain destinations depending on customs. This causes customers to be very upset when they dont have their case after 14 days. Not good for feedback :)
[HTC Sensation] Idle Mind:
Looks nice, but I'm in the UK, preferably after something with more of a matte finish too
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
Those are exactly what I want. I'll be grabbing a black one when they go up.
[HTC Sensation] azeli73:
Very nice! Just put my order in for a smoked one. ;-)
[HTC Sensation] ToneyEricsson:
Case mate Tough from mobilefun.co.uk or similar site
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
@OneStepAhead can you show me pics of the Sensation with your case on from all angles please? thanks
[HTC Sensation] andybess22:
Are you the maker of those? I just bought one on ebay. I love TPU cases.
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
Interesting. I have a very similar looking case (but not an official tpu one).

Mine doesn't have any of the small circular cut-outs near the camera and the speaker on the back, nor for the double small holes near the bottom of the case.

What am I missing out on?! :p
[HTC Sensation] phi11ip:
I've bought an official one on Play but at this rate I'm thinking it's going to be closer to Christmas before I see it. I'm more interested as to whether it will actually add something to the phone and make it easier to hold. The phone just seems too thin and slippery at the moment; I don't trust myself holding it!
[HTC Sensation] tuto0503:
http://shop.ventev.com/buy/accessories/cat/1173/model/1171_326546/accessory/863594

I would love a case like this for my sensation
[HTC Sensation] dgwphotography:
I ordered this on Monday, and it already arrived today. It looks and feels great on my phone. thanks!
[HTC Sensation] zahashingo123:
You guys should be careful with these hard tpu rubber kind of cases. I bought on from eBay and I thought it was perfect

It fit really nice and felt good but when I took it off and looked at my phone

I saw some very very small almost invisible scratches from the edge of the case where the lip touches the edge of the glass on the phone

On my phone on the thin black piece that goes between the glass and back casing.

So I decided to buy another case but got a soft silicon case just to make sure it wont scratch my phone
[HTC Sensation] navillos:
Should have left the power button covered. I like it better keeps the button finish from wearing. too bad I liked the case but oh well.
[HTC Sensation] jparity:
Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if there's any advantage of getting a case for the sensation at all?.. Since unlike other phones, the battery cover of the sensation is practically the shell itself. So why not just get a replacement battery cover for ~$50 on ebay when your original one is scratched and save all the hassle?
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Just received my case today. It's looking really great and feels good.

In my opinion the volume rocker is very hard to use, I can't press it like I used to. There seems to be a certain position where it can be used easily, may take some time to get used to.

Also the power button is a bit hard to reach. having it covered, like the volume rocker, would probably have made it easier to press.
[HTC Sensation] Idle Mind:
OK, so while I wait to find a case I really like I ordered a cheap TPU type one off ebay, not got enough posts to include links but the item number is 350470739354.

Got it this morning and while I'm more after something with a matte finish it fits pretty well, doesn't add too much bulk and seems like decent protection.

One problem though - it kills my phone signal! I guess this is related to the whole 'death grip' thing but it just confuses me because I can't make the signal drop by covering the bottom of the phone with my hand no matter how hard I try. As soon as the case goes on at home I was dropping at least one bar of signal and several times I pulled it out of my pocket and it was showing the 'no service' lockscreen which I've never had without the case.

I've ditched it for now and am just being careful with the phone, will try some cases out when they're available on the highstreet and see if they give the same issues.

Anyone else suffering from this?
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
This is what I plan on doing! :)
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
sorry, please delete. I found what I was looking for in another thread.
[HTC Sensation] joeyklatzko:
Yeah same. I think using a case ruins the hand feel experience.
[HTC Sensation] leetl90:
I have been watching online for new cases and chanced upon this. Doesn't seem to available on other sites. Shipping starts on 6/27 though.

Looks like a really cool case, with all the cutouts for the holes. TPU + Leather :D

Amazon Case

If what you are looking for is barely-there-case, you should try this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHW1Y

I just got mine for $5.95. They also sent two screen protectors for free. The case is very thin and it lets you see the phone's back, which is great. This might not be the case for someone looking to FULLY protect the phone, as it doesn't cover the top and bottom of it.

Now it is only $1.99 plus S&H, it doesn't gets better than that. Although not related to cases, you should also try this car charger:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA

I got it for my N1 and it works great with the S4G.
[HTC Sensation] Nivek91:
Yep, that's the same exact case I ordered. Such a great price too.
[HTC Sensation] The Illest 619:
Body Glove

Bought the body glove case from tmobile just to have protection from the start. A bit hard to take off the first time since I was being careful but now it only takes seconds. It does leave some minor marks on the back of the phone which I could have done without, but it not that big of a deal.

Hoping more products come out soon.
[HTC Sensation] hisuperman:
korea case,and nillkin case
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
Is it hard rubberized case or silicon?
[HTC Sensation] SplitCold:
I bought a TPU case its like silicon but a little stronger/stiffer and doesn't cling to dust & lint. Cost me $8.00. The big picture shows you how the holes line up and its the same on mine, not perfect but it does the job.

[HTC Sensation] dennis_co01:
My TPU case still causes wifi signal to degrade so i bought this bare-case from momax. It looks the same as the ones posted but without branding at the back. Its good now that wifi does not degrade, maybe because of the plastic material. I also bought a momax 1700mah battery and a very thin screen protector.

Need to protect this expensive phone.
[HTC Sensation] :
I purchased a Case-Mate 'Tough Case' that I'll be using on my replacement handset when it arrives.

Seems quite sturdy and also happens to be rather aesthetically pleasing.
[HTC Sensation] cgjjaf:
It is a hard-rubberized case, it is very thin and light, and I think one of the best looking cases out there.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Reminds me of a case I have on my OLD Sony Clie NX70 LOL now thats old skool for you hehe....

Besides the reminisce factor, it is nice. Looks a little bulky as well though. But it will be well protected.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Im looking at a white one but I can only fine this one on ebay. Keep in mind this one is a bit different whereas it has the holes to match the back of the phone. I am not sure if that is a plus or minus in this case (no pun intended lol).

what do you think of Case-mates Barely There

looks nice ..
[HTC Sensation] tkdsl:
Did your TPU case have the extra Holes in the back of the case for Wifi on it ?

the little ones on the back of the phone.
[HTC Sensation] hisuperman:

[HTC Sensation] emzed:
Personally, I would not get this case. My Sensation fell exactly on the spot which is left uncovered by this case, shattering the glass.

When I get it back from repair, I'm looking for solid all around protection case, but it should preferably still fit in my car holder.
[HTC Sensation] Dandandroid:
how hard was the fall ??

i thought gorrila glass was unbreakable, or at least hard to break ..

now im dreading the day it wall fall for the first time .
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hmmm wow... I really wish we could have seen some pics of that.

You don't often see Gorilla Glass shattering like that.... I have friends who have beat their Gorilla Glass phones to death, but the glass is PERFECT....

Must have been a nasty fall?? Sorry to hear....
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
LOOKS good, but I see one VERY big problem with their design...

ALL of the holes on the back are covered...that is NOT good at all.

I called HTC on this subject and they, with out a doubt, said those small holes should be uncovered.

Not sure why Case Mate would do that??
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have been trying to figure out the threads that reference the holes. I know most are vent holes with copper contacts there. But what are they actually for? The manual makes no reference to those other holes only the mic's.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
This "Barely There" knock-off case has openings for all the holes.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110706056708&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I've ordered it but haven't received it, so can't provide any personal info on it yet.
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Hey guys, I got this case from HTC Depot and I gotta say that it is a really nice case, love the smooth feeling on it, fits perfectly. Here are some pics:
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Very sleek and elegant...like it! Still for the life of me can't find a case I actually like. I'm using the rubbery gel one that came from T-Mobile that doesn't have the cutouts for the holes on the back cover. It's fine for now, but it attracts so much lint and dust that my screen is littered with the stuff!
[HTC Sensation] ITMedCEO:
I don't know I like the BodyGlove two tone one... it was available in my Tmobile Store!
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Looks great in the pics and has very good protection! Might try it out once I decide on a color...cool
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
I got a case from ebay, looks the same but cheaper only $5 free shipping. It lso protects my phone really good.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Seems to me that you may have just a couple bubbles in that factory screen protector. :)
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Yeahh.. lol, I ordered some screen protectors:)
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I got the case from Amazon linked somewhere in this thread. The case was $5 and shipping was about $5. It doesn't have the holes in the back, but I haven't noticed any degradation in performance. Although it's labeled as "black" it's more of a transparent smoke color.

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/SENSATION-RUB...39OPNPYJWZFY1&s=generic&qid=1309546099&sr=1-1

Case Pics: https://picasaweb.google.com/113703...authkey=Gv1sRgCJvx-d2cuJG4_gE&feat=directlink

It feels nice. Super thin. Good grip - not too much, not too little. Won't attract dust. Probably not the best case for someone wanting ultimate protection, but it does okay to keep the nicks and scratches to a minimum.
[HTC Sensation] methodz:
OMG WTF!!!

Does anyone have the official HTC case? I ordered mine from expansys usa and when I ordered it said "usually ships in 9 days" I went to check my order today so see what was up and it now says "usually ships in 49 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I just clicked the link in my invoice and the product does not even exist anymore!

Anyone actually have this case, it looks amazing and I'm going to have to ask for a return and need a good place to order it from.
[HTC Sensation] Eng_Hassan85:
nice cases ..looks like ZAGG
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Black rubber case from ebay...

3 USD not bad IMO, compared to the 18 bux spent on the defunk bodyglove kickstand case that marked up the backing....

Here is the one I got from china today

Before I put it on the phone
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Nice case, I got one but in mesh style..
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I also got that case today. Only problem so far is the USB charger cable doesn't seat all the way because the black part of the cable connector hits the edge of the hole. This causes a disconnect if I put the phone down when it's plugged in. I may try to widen the hole on the case, but for now have to remove it to charge the phone.
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
only prob with that case is that it doesnt protect the bottom of the phone which is the only part that cannot be replaced with a unibody backcase. Its really only good if the phone falls on its side or for you to better grab the phone because the damn thing is slippery as hellp.

I also ordered the HTC TPU and i think that it was a mistake because its gone and it says it will ship in 50 days lol.

I think I am going to stick to the smoked TPU case I just ordered...

I dunno why its so damn hard to find a back matte TPU case.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I agree. I use it primarily for the grip aspect. I also find the bare phone too slippery. The problem I have with cases that cover the bottom is they also wrap around too much on the front, so there's a ridge all around the screen, which prevents me from wiping off fingerprints easily. There are trade-offs no matter what you do.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
That's my thinking as well. I've had a bare case with only the screen protector since the body glove kickstand case marred my back of the phone. I didn't want much bulk and like the poster above, I don't like the idea of covering the front lip of the phone. But I do also agree with the statement of the bottom lip not being protected. Thank you for freaking me out now lol.
[HTC Sensation] mofoahh:
got a picture of it? and where did you get it. would love to see it.
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:

[HTC Sensation] picachux:
I just picked up a nice black tpu case + screen protector for $7 bucks. Should be here in a couple days, I have a similar version for the MyTouch 4G. I loved the protection, added grip with minimal added bulk.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I just got this one as well.. pretty swanky :) Loving it...
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Any pics? Are you using a screen protector?

I want to go with a Zagg but I'm not sure it will pinch the edges.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
With pics

Excuse the quality... stupid BB... but the case fits perfect and looks quite posh... Doesnt add bulk to the phone... hugs nicely... not too soft like those cheap silicon ones..

i hope it doesnt scratch the back of my baby as mentioned with some other cases in other posts..

Yes I use a screen protector.. normal matte finish.. had it from the first day... Look at pic 2... the screen protector settles nicely...
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Thanks, That look freaking beautiful. Looks like I will be very happy with the case once it arrives. Cheers
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
It is!!! he he.. the only case the justifies the back design of the sensation.. the others are plain!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Noticed a funny thing with the case... the mic at the bottom is probably being blocked.. i mean the case is cut out to show the mic... but the other person is not hearing me properly...

Could be a superstition as it has been a stormy day here and that it could be that just the reception is bad..

can someone who has a similar case, see if they feel the same?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Can you let me know when yours arrive.. ref the post above..
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Just got the same case. Did a few calls it worked perfectly. The people on the other end said they heard me clearly.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
*phew*

must be the reception then... its quite a bad weather today!!

Was thinking about cutting out the cover (more wide) where the mic cutout is... think i am gonna hold on..
[HTC Sensation] Paticakeman:
Case mate tough case... I'm a believer in you get what yo pay for. It doesn't have all the hole cut outs in the back but I haven't been able to tell any difference in performance.
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgNgMgq0K7Q
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ok got the white phone case today. The holes match up. But they are not the same areas like the black one I got. Also the usb seems to seat better with this case too. Maybe they cut the opening to the port a lil bigger than the black one. I did get these two cases from different seller. I also got a free screen protector as well.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
You need some of these pants to go with those cases. :D

http://uk.loudmouthgolf.com/index.php/men/trousers.html
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
It's a hard case.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Does it protect it well? Does it add a lot of bulk?
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
It does fit perfectly, doesn't dance around the case or anything like that, very sturdy. Bulk? not much really, I don't really have experience with other cases to maybe tell you exactly how bulky it is.

Here's a picture I just took for you to see the lip it adds on top of the screen.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
The tpu case hasn't my WiFi at all.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Thanks! I think I'll give that case a shot
