CONS

the Tmo/HTC removal of apps like car panel - found it and it sucks so Im using Car Home + Car Mode.

The app drawer sucks.

Not being able to uninstall the T-Mo garbage sucks.

DUMB ASS HTC ACCUWEATHER DATABASE BULL**** - 3yrs after the Touch and I still can't get local information right unless it's a larger city or capitol. At least now it pulls the weather info accurately but just uses "Current Location" instead of city names. That's annoying but since it works not sure how legit a con this is.

PROS

It looks great.

Probably the best looking phone I've ever seen.

It feels perfect in your hand.

The screen is beautiful.

DLNA is sweet.

I have to give Sense 3 an A+. It has a ton of features that I've had to find other paid apps to provide. Built-in features include a timer, stopwatch, lock screens, notification pull down system controls, calendar widget, email widgets and more.

1080p video is nice.

Polaris Office included for viewing and editing MS Office documents.

The free ringtones and themes are a nice touch.

Built-in album art app!

Wifi calling is great.

I've used more minutes this week than I ever used in a month before. It's an easy switch to a new unlimited minutes contract with a 3gb reduction in data before throttle. I rarely go over 1gb since I'm on wifi everywhere. Plus now that I can make and take reliable calls I get to actually use my phone as a phone a whole lot more.

Haven't dropped a call yet.

Summary

I love it.

Like with any other version of Android I've had apps crash and bring the rest of the OS into a slowdown. I really don't see the rush to installing cm7 or anything else on this but stock gb. I'd like to run this rooted but that's about it. I can't handle the bugs most roms bring with them. I'm coming from a stock rooted ROM N1 with Zeam as the launcher.

My N1 had faster r/w sd speeds on my 16gb class6 cheapo Memorex microsd card were 7mb/24mb. I'm getting 5.5mb/20mb on the S4G. But that's also without using SD Speed Increase.

I don't know what to do about a case because this thing is so damn nice looking it deserves to be shown off. I still have the screen covering it came out of the box with on it.

As far as I'm concerned this is the Nexus 2.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
^I also liked Zeam on my N1...I wonder if Zeam will work on the Sensation? Can u turn off Sense?
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
I too am coming from the nexus one. Overall I am very happy. I like the screen, I think it looks great.

I miss my trackball! :) Mostly for being able to put my cursor where I want it from texting. I keep moving my thumb down there, and no track ball. :D

Then I have the odd problem where the touch screen is really wacky when I'm charging and the tmobile gel case is on.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Zeam works well on it but you can't use the Sense 3.0 widgets in it which made me ditch it. When I left out of Zeam, Sense had to reload so it seems to be turned off by the system when running other launchers due to memory use.

The screen is so accurate that I haven't missed the trackball yet. Haven't hit a charging problem yet. Maybe that's a static problem that people are talking about.
[HTC Sensation] XPLANE9:
Is the dust in the screen issue happening on most units or it is just a select few? I too had a N1 but the dust inside the screen drove my OCD to the extreme...
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
No dust here or anyway I see for it to get there. I have no separation between glass and screen either. No sticker action. I think many reports were bull**** trolls, sammy fanboys and competitors.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Getting used to the screen.. :) qHD really is worth the hype, I must say!

LauncherPro is smoother than Sense launcher, but for some reason it's not as smooth as LauncherPro on my N1.. might just be an issue that LP's dev needs to tweak.

The notification pulldown is very smooth after a reboot, but after a while it starts getting a tad choppy as well. Kinda weird.

nothing a custom ROM won't fix though. :P

HTC did a fabulous job with the usability.. besides the laggy launcher, the rest of Sense 3.0 is wonderful. Very impressed.

bottom line: this phone is a keeper!
[HTC Sensation] mer6:
Also coming from an N1. I agree with most of this post (except I feel the screen wasn't really as bad as you portray it to be).
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
I'm getting used to not having it... I'm just one of those perfectionist texters and I like to go back to fix errors, etc., so having that trackball to go RIGHT where I want is handy.

The charging thing stopped, after I moved to a different outlet. And it stopped again, when I went back to the other outlet. Who knows, maybe it wasn't plugged in fully, or I had some built up static myself? :confused:

@LayherDaddy @igotadroid load a p05img with a recovery in it, but not the hboot. Then root/use rom manager to get recovery reloaded. #ifitwereme

which p05img should i use then? from what i read i need a p05img with recovery but no hboot? is that right? total noob here.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MONKY_1:
U trying to flash a radio?

And if ur stick in a bootloop by a micro SD card adapter and just delete the file then u can go to recovery mode. And be all set. That's what I did.

And if ur flashing a radio or the MR2 to leak just flash it via Hboot. If its a radio flash it through Hboot.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Varrykat:
I am running:

Samsung epic 4g from sprint opened from box on monday,

Syndicate Frozen Rom 1.1.1

Twilight kernel 1.1 (came with it)

have restored to stock 3 times (due to bricking)

setcpu and profiles (specific details if needed) but am only clocking to 1.0 not 1.3 Ghz min of 100 mhz

powermanager full (bought NOT hacked) with battery saving profiles similar to the suggestions made on youtube.

process manager as recommended by the same source.

normal apps and buffoonery expected of people with smartphones.

My problem!:

After many trial and error goofs I have a stable version of Syndicate Frozen 1.1.1 (all system related downloads came from these forums)

I have two problems.

1.(most important) My screen has 3 times today turned black as normal when it locks from being idle. But i cannot wake it up and no lights come on.(not even the keyboard) It's like it's been turned off but cannot wake up. I have to remove and replace the battery to wake it back up. This is a major problem. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

2. I have not noticed any performance or even the slightest of battery improvement after jumping through many hoops and spending literally till dawn every night this week to install reinstall, uninstall.. fix.. then install these systems. If i'm "doin it wrong" or have some magic button to press, or if the electronic gods just hate me, I'd like to know.

[/B]

EDIT:I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT!

I'm an idiot and anyone making my same mistake can find their answer on the 5th post of this thread (the frozen rom 1.1.1 thread)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091680

It says that using setcpu with a screen off profile (like mine ) might cause it to not wake up @_@.. common sense really but it was saving me plenty of battery power XD'

I can only assume it stalls the processor. SO! to clarify.. no screen off profiles if this happens!

Thank you to QBking for all his incredible help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] riqjuan:
So according to Samsung themselves, the official weight of 10.1 is:

Wifi = 560g

3G = 565g

that's quite a bit lighter than originally speculated @ 595g (and 40g lighter than iPad 2)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06XCmy_cELE
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Diversion:
Samsung did this tablet right.. if you want to mention how much further they pushed the envelope.. You can add:

Thinner than iPad2

They shoe-horned a 7000mah battery inside to boot.. iPad2 has a 6900mah, or was it 6950mah.. Either way, Samsung still has bigger in a thinner, lighter package.. Very impressive.

Didn't Sammy provide the battery for iPad1 and 2? They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't put something greater in their own tablet, afterall.

Edit: I will also mention in all fairness iPad2 has better battery life/management compared to a factory bought Tab10.1... But after custom roms and kernels are released for Tab10.1.. It's a much different ball game.

P.s. need to convince fiance to let me buy this tomorrow.. wish me luck :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xavierdylan:
I would like to see what the actual weight of the tab is. if some one could weigh it and report the weight that would be great. the 10.1v was listed as 595g but was actually 565g.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OneStepAhead:
My IO is 565g, just checked. Thats with a body guard too so subtract a couple of grams.

Edited because my first weight was wrong. 565 is correct and i bet the rear body guard is 5g.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OneStepAhead:


You are right about that, the first charge on my ipad 2 lasted 3 weeks and i used it daily for about an hour and just let it sleep. The Tab isnt bad, I need to charge it probably every 10 days.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mars224:
My droid incredible is currently rooted and I have used Nils Business GingerSense which has languages other than English and Spanish like French or Italian. Are there any roms that have numerous other languages? I read that a number of rom developers remove the language features in the interest of memory but there must be another rom with multi language support?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
What kind of languages are you looking for? What you heard is correct, most devs remove other languages for space reasons.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mars224:
I am actually looking for a ROM that has Russian as a language choice. I just realized that Cyanogenmod 7 also has multi language support but I should clarify that I am looking for a Sense ROM. Is there an add on that I could flash Russian to a stable Sense ROM so that all of the menu items are in that language?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I haven't been stock in so long, does it have Russian to choose from? My guess is that if the Incredible didn't come with Russian, it's probably not ported to be in Russian especially because this phone is only available in the US.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mars224:
That is what I thought at first too when I rooted but Nils Business GingerSense and Cyanogenmod 7 ROMs were able to get Russian among many other languages to be used for the menu items of the phone(not just English and Spanish that is limited to the stock). I know the developers remove the language but I wonder if can provide the option to add them back or maybe a particular language back?

Ha! Nice to hear. I had a Quite similar problem.. As i Got my New phone it was just the opposite. Mobile Network worked, but telephone and messages didn't work. And After a time it disconnected totally from the service. My solution: I turned off the pincode security of the Sim. Once it asked no longer for The Pin, i had a stable connection without disconnections. Maybe this is gonna help some1 too :)
[HTC Incredible S] you_eeeeeediot:
Not that it really matters, but why wouldn't you have just deleted this thread if it took you less than 10 minutes to find the answer? It's not like there aren't already a bunch of threads discussing APN settings for carriers... or better yet just link to the thread itself if need be?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
There are many posts with people stating their bluetooth is no longer working.

When activated, it trys to go on for about 10 seconds, then stops, and it never activates.

My fix was strange. After getting out of space messages when trying to install Angry Birds Rio, I moved many apps to the external SD card. That still did not fix those messages, and I had plently of space in any event. There's an app on the market that supposedly address this issue...we'll see.

And I had noticed that my bluetooth stopped working. After moving all of those apps back to the phone, bluetooth started working again. Don't know what app(s) caused the problem, but now all is fine with bluetooth.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoob8000:

[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
Hiya, I just purchased the 3600 mAh Mugen Power extended battery and the case it came with doesn't seem to have an antenna built into it. Would it be possible to fix on a thin strip of metal to the case and have it touch the connectors on the phone? If so, which metal would give the best reception or are the antennas more complex than just a line of wire? Thanks for any info!
[HTC Incredible S] goblinIT:
mugen power accessories are really bad quality... i would buy it. if you do it yourself you can damage yourbdevice by short circuit...
[HTC Incredible S] madbw:
Nice fail from mugen. No more calls with extended battery. Airplane mode will extend battery life even more:D
[HTC Incredible S] RicarduZonta:
I think you should claim for a refund. According to your description their product is useless.

Thought Mugen was a high end battery supplier, but this is really an unacceptable major fail.

Thanks for sharing.
[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
Hmm I need to rectify this mistake. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. After the initial few days of no responses I stopped monitoring this thread. I was at the beach when my roommate let me know the package had arrived. I asked him to open it and that's the conclusion he gave me when I asked. In the photos on the website you can't tell exactly so out of frantic worry and to find a solution I posted on here via my phone.

The truth is it's a pretty damn good battery. There is an antenna in the back cover and I'm not really sure why my friend thought there wasn't. Reception seems to be the same even though the antenna is bigger? Or maybe its around the same size if the stock back cover has it hidden in the plastic. The Mugen Power back case covers it with black tape. That aside, the cover feels fairly sturdy, though it could be improved a bit. Maybe some self modification would resolve that issue. It makes a bit more noise when you squeeze it than the stock cover but it doesn't feel like its going to come off or fracture.

As for the battery it seems to last me on average 40 hours before I feel the need to charge it. I'd say it isn't used heavily, more like my old phone where I just sent texts all day, called a few people and listened to music for a good number of hours. The longest I've had it go was 57 hours after letting it completely die. All in all I am quite satisfied aside from a few minor complaints about the case.

Once again I apologize about this, I jumped the gun. Also, the website I purchased it from http://www.pdaphone-battery.com will deliver if you order from them. I was worried it was a scam site since it looks extremely ghetto and no confirmation email or tracking number was sent to me after purchase. But as I said the shipping was speedy and they did send me what I ordered. They don't use https though which bugged me, however the paying part used PayPal so that was acceptable.
[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
One more picture for better reference. I'll post a comparison picture of stock vs extended batter cover sizes if people are interested.
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
@Flappyraccoon

can we see inside the back cover/door...part of the signal ...TQ
[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
You mean the bare antenna under the tape? Sure, I'll try to get pics up later today for ya.
[HTC Incredible S] wlkoff:
Sorry but looks like a brick. What´s the weight of it now? Hope you´re satisfied.
[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
I only pulled it back far enough so you could see what the antenna was made out of. Hope that is enough for ya. As for the second picture, when you look at it and feel with your fingers the antenna (I'm assuming its made from the same thin metal) is laid out in the path of the red line. It ends at the yellow line.

As for the phone brick, its not much heavier at least in my opinion. It also fits into my hand and doesn't wiggle around as much. This is because it fills in the gap between my hand and the phone. For me that is wonderful, maybe not for you ;).
[HTC Incredible S] deep771043:
Thats great news!

But I'm more excited about another battery - HLI-DesireZSL. It is originaly made for Desire Z, but MUGEN guys say its perfect in IS! It has 1800mAh, but use the standart HTC cover.
[HTC Incredible S] wzu7:
yoobau brand is another great battery ! but not come with higher mAH yet !
[HTC Incredible S] andybones:
OMG is that a brick or the incS, how the hell do you use that!
[HTC Incredible S] Flappyraccoon:
It's not bad, and the 50+ hour battery life makes it worth it. Plus, that was before root and s-off ;). Now with an undervolted kernel and a debloated rom I'm hoping its a lot more ^_^.

Sent from my Incredible 2
[HTC Incredible S] Voilenteraser:
O.o Where can I buy a better battery that lasts the longest with the same old battery cover? Someone point me in the right direction? Nice battery life btw.
[HTC Incredible S] LowFire82:
Same place, Mugen has a slim 1900mAh

I have it in my DInc2 and it last much longer than the OE one
[HTC Incredible S] Voilenteraser:
Thanks, I'll look into it.
[HTC Incredible S] nednednerb:
Been using the 3600 Mugen for almost 3 weeks. I agree with Flappyraccoon that the phone fits into my hand better and feels less flimsy. I've dropped it less and reception difference is unnoticeable, but I live in a decent service region.

But the thin stock case does give me the appearance of having more sleek technology, and there's nothing like a dying battery at the end of one day's use for an excuse to stop talking with my girlfriend :$

I get about the same time out of it as Flappyraccoon. So much more comfortable using my phone whenever I want without worrying about later that evening. Easy to do a daily top up still but at my convenience, not the phone's urgency!

[HTC Incredible S] Madchilli:
where do you find it?

I only find the 1800 one
[HTC Incredible S] capitanlerry:
bad quality accessories..
[HTC Incredible S] miguelca:
IMHO I must disagree with that comment. Mugen accessories are nice but a little bit expensive. If I want cheap crap there are plenty on eBay that announce lots of mAh but when you test them correctly you see that it's false advertising. Bought a "Li-Polymer" battery there with 2430mAh announced and it almost couldn't reach 1700mAh! Of course that eBay has interesting stuff too and I buy there some times.

I already had a Mugen slim (normal) high capacity battery on a HTC Desire (original) and it definitely was worth the money. Almost 35% more capacity without changing the cover. :good:

Recently I had a HTC Wildfire S and bought a Mugen dock/desktop stand for the phone with a compartment for charging an extra battery at the same time. Excellent build quality, fast charge times (on the phone and on the compartment) and as a "bonus" it came with a USB pass-through port for PC connection. Nothing to complain about.

Maybe some of us didn't have luck with Mugen but that's no reason to generalize.
[HTC Incredible S] capitanlerry:
Yes, it's true. Generalize is wrong.

But my experience with the mugen batteries (3600 extended battery) is not very happy because is too big respect the increase.

However i agree with your comment.
