[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
I have been getting about 12 hours out of it for moderate to heavy use - 5+ hours streaming music etc. Today I haven't used it much at all, 8 hours off the charger and I have 65% battery left.
[HTC Sensation] sxrsxrsx:
If it's like that I have to say it's too bad for me to use. May be I have to carry to charge it twice a day....
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
Heavy use = charge every night (the same goes for nearly all smartphones though, unfortunately)

Light-moderate use = charge every two nights

This is a very rough guess but you'll get at least 20% more battery performance out of a Sensation than a DHD, more so when they sort out custom roms and everything.
[HTC Sensation] sxrsxrsx:
Are you sure? My DHD will lose power very quickly when I use WIFI to watch videos or movies. It can cost about 60%-70% power in about 3 hours.
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
I'd have to test it to be 'sure', sorry. It's certainly better than the DHD though, no question about it.
[HTC Sensation] sxrsxrsx:
Sorry for the stupid question, but I still not clear about it. On the official site(I mean HongKong Site), the time DHD can be used is much longer than Sensation did. Have you actually compared them? or you just take a guess?
[HTC Sensation] madnish30:
Sensation has higher capacity battery. PLus, if you use 3G it will consume more - if you talk alot on the phone it will finsih sooner - if you browse on wifi all day it will end sooner - it all depends on you - if you just sens 20-25 texts a day + an hour of wifi - it will easily last you 36-40 hours.

If you call a lot - lets say 5 hours a day - browse at least 5-7 hours on wifi/3G + videos/songs then it will unlikely last you more than 12-15 hours.
[HTC Sensation] sxrsxrsx:
Thank you very much for your detailed answer, I guess the official site may have made a mistake. Again Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] madnish30:
No problem, or maybe they just hyped the battery life - as they usually tend to do :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
Sxr, you'll get better battery than the DHD. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] icebike:
When connected to Either Windows or Linux I can't see the Add-in MicroSD card in the Acer.

The annoying Acer Sync app launches, and that will show me only main memory, not the expansion card or any usb devices plugged into the standard sized usb port. Linux never shows anything.

I know I can move things with a file manager, but Calibre can't move ebooks to a device unless I am able to map a drive letter to it, and Calibre for Linix at least has to see the device.

Under linux it simply never shows up.

Is there a setting in the Acer to tell it to simply show all storage?
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Why so determined to move books to EXT-SD?

I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but why are you so determined to put your books on the external SD drive? You have at least 16 gig internally, and most books take up VERY little space unless they are in .PDF format. Even a hundred books would take up next to nothing of the 16 gig.

Let your books stay on the internal drive and put the really big stuff - music, pictures, videos - on the external drive. If you do that it is unlikely you will fill up the internal drive any time soon, if ever.

Besides, your reader app probably wouldn't find the books on that drive anyway. We are hoping for some better functionality with the upcoming 3.1 release.

Have fun, and download File Manager HD. It works with network shares, making the USB cable almost unnecessary.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrotftw:
Too soon. Way too soon to tell something like this. I'm pretty sure that Google hasn't even released Honeycomb's source yet, so I'd expect it to be awhile before anybody gets any real respectable ports accomplished.

Until Google releases Honeycomb's source code, most plans have been paused since few things will work without being able to implement the SC.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forums, just picked up a mt4g yesterday. After some reading I see that you need 2.2.1 to root your phone with visionary. I'm outside the US and can't do the OTA, is there a way to root a 2.2 version? Or get 2.2.1 on my phone?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laazyboy:
I the same issue. Go to big sticky in mt4g dev section and look for a guide called "force update to 2.2.1" or something. It was my first time using adb so the direction could be a little confusing for you as well. If you have any problems with the guide, feel free to ask and ill get back to you when I can
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Just root via gfree. You won't need the update. Follow this video for gfree.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
BE CAREFUL with your phone.The ./gfree method will root phones with bad and good eMMC chips. You should hop over to the "post your serial number" thread and see if you have a good one or a bad one. neither one is fool proof. But the bad eMMC chip is pretty much a ticking timebomb.

anybody else having this issue? i synced it yesterday and had about 180 mb free, today i synced it and added only one song and now its saying i only have 77 mb free.

and i noticed last week i was adding songs and i had 2gbs free, but when i tried to add more it said it was filled to capacity so i removed alot of pictures and maybe 5 albums to free up space.

is the bar at the bottom of zune supposed to be completely black when its filled? anybody else having these kind of issues with zune?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
Reverepats...I downloaded two different MikG Roms and neither worked, I also tried Kings Alliance it had the same error. When I ran the Rom I was running before, SalvageRom, it worked. I see you are running MikG, where did u download from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I'm assuming that you've tried reflashing recovery? Or possibly switching recoveries?

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The file corrupted, and you just need to download it again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
No Plainjane, I didn't try flashing recoveries. I am currently using Amon RA's recovery v 2.3 I believe. Is there a newer version? If so, where do I find it to flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
2.3 is the latest version. If you choose to reflash just do it via PC36IMG; though I'm positive its just a bad download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
teh roxxorz, I tried the download from HTCEVOHacks.com and MikMik Website and they both failed. I think both were 250MB, which was bigger than usual so it is possible, but I also tried flashing the Alliance Kingdom Rom from this site and got the same error. That's why I figured it was something with my phone. I got an (Oops Error, something went wrong, when I tried to do a Nandroid Restore also. I was able to reflash Salvage Rom and it worked perfect. SO CONFUSED...LOL!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well the bad zip [can't flash] means something is wrong with the zip file, the 'oops something went wrong,' means that the backup became corrupted.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip

Download that [ra recovery] place on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader, then apply update, reboot; and amon_ra 2.3 will be reflashed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
I really appreciate your help!!! So this flash will enable me to perform my Back-up right. I apologize for all the questions, I just started flashing and I am learning the basics.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You're straight, and well, potentially. IF the recovery backup itself is corrupted, you'll get the 'oops, something went wrong' error; if it was the recovery. Though you will be able to create and restore backups. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
Cool, downloaded the Amon RA Recovery you posted in the link. Flashed it and it went through. Will try to perform my Nandroid backup and post results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
OK, it went more than the first time, but then got the same error:

Oops... something went wrong!

Please check the recovery log!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, unfortunately, that backup is corrupted, and you'll have to scrap it. :( Hopefully you have another one, or in a position to create a newer one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
Can I just Reboot and go back to what I was using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you reboot, you'll be on whatever you were running before; as long as the backup didn't restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corey140:
Cool that's what I will do. Hopefully I can get one of the new Gingerbread Roms here(MikG Preferably) with a .zip that is not corrupted. Since you and Plainjane are pretty sure it is the file that is corrupted. THANKS for all the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I'm certain it is. :)

IF all else fails, go to the link on your evo, then download the zip from your phone, make your backup, do a full wipe, then locate it in the folder when you flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I'm almost certain it's an issue with your SD card. I've seen it before, but just recently remembered what the problem was. Sorry for the late reply, I was at work.

Backup everything on your card to your computer, this will erase all of your files. Also try to have a full battery, this could take some time depending on the size of your SD card, the class, and the number of files. Then, boot into recovery and select partition SD card (I can't remember where it is, sorry). If you move apps to your SD card - which I think is kind of necessary with the ginormous Sense 3.0 roms - use a larger size for the Ext partition. I never move apps to my SD card, so I set mine to the smallest option other than zero. For the swap size you can use the default 32mb - you may want to look into this more to see if there's a more recommended size.

When it finishes partitioning, go back to the main screen in recovery, plug your phone into your computer and select USB-MS toggle. This will mount your SD card so you can move files back to the SD card. If you're using Windows, it may want to scan and fix the card... just skip it. If you want to save time and/or battery, you can power down the phone and use a card reader instead. Then you can try to restore/make a nandroid backup or flash a rom - it should work.

Good luck, hope you get it fixed!

Download MikG 1.04 from http://dev-host.org/lv6fjpxaq9x4/MikG-Sense2.1-v1.04-signed.zip

After downloading the file, get an MD5 checker application such as this one: http://getmd5checker.com/download

The MD5 sum for the zip of MikG 1.04 is: fb81c61a19b5db6d4fa67acbfb17907f

When you run the MD5 check on the downloaded zip, it should match.

If it doesn't then the download is corrupted.

If it does match but you're still having issues flashing it, then there's a pretty good chance that it's the SD card. MicroSD cards are a dime a dozen nowadays so it should be pretty trivial to get some other card that you can pop in and try to flash with.

[HTC Sensation] juami:
SW decoding Player : vPlayer is the best for Sensation.

vPlayer is multi-threaded app. it can use full dual core.

but other player - rock , mobo , vital use only single core.

HW decoding Player : Diceplayer is the best.

Rock/v/vital/mobo/qq can't use hw decoder ( if file is not supported from system)

if file format is mp4, all player can play HD.

but file format is MKV(+DTS), you can see huge lag.

only diceplayer can play MKV(+DTS/FLAC) HD movies.(+longer battery life )
[HTC Sensation] modife:
thx for your post, i tried Dice player and its playing well mkv files :)

I'm one of diceplayer dev team.

Unfortunately, we do not have sensation. we are unable to tune for sensation.

we have 1.5 Ghz Dual core snapdragon equipped devices (only available for korea) they play 1080p flawlessly.

and i was suprised that it work great even with 1080p movie (cars 2 trailer,

but may be it could have some lags with other movie ?):)

Dice works great. Plays most mkv and divx with no lag.

For some reason Dice also has beter picture quality then the rest... It tends to be bricky on the others (Rock, Mobo, etc).

Thanks for the reply!

Actually you dont need to have Sensation, let me ask my question with this way:

while you watching 1080p video on the device you have, what is the fps you are getting?

Thanks

we've got 30fps..

we are working for crash problems and honeycomb version.

Video playback issue

I figured that this would be somewhat related...

I recently uploaded a movie (La Vita Bella for those curious ones out there) about 1.1 gigs in size and in mp4 format to my sd card assuming I'd be able to watch it on my phone. When I try to watch it my phone either lags to the point that I need to force close the used app whether it's the native video playing app or one of the many aftermarket apps I've tried such as Diceplayer, mobo player, etc. I was wondering if there's any solution that would allow me to watch it successfully.

Also, I can see thumbnails of the movie and when i choose certain parts it may grab an initial image of that part but nothing else occurs although the player is reading as if a file is currently being played (as opposed to a paused video). I am also to play a video of much higher quality (albeit a significantly smaller size). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
I am using rockplayer and quite happy with it. It supports more formats like rmvb.

I convert my movies using dvdcatalyst and it formats the movies perfectly for viewing on the phone or using the MHL to my tv. There isn't a profile for the Sensation yet that I'm aware of, but I just select the Xoom profile then modify and change the resolution to 960x540 if I plan on watching on phone or leave as is if over MHL. Lately, just been leaving it on default Xoom profile and only slightly larger file size than the lower resolution, but I have a 16GB card so I'm not going to run out as long as I maintain it. I use it to fix questionable avi and flv as well since I mainly stream my library over my server. I highly recommend this product for sure. Great customer service too.
