[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
I have a big question about clearing out my SD with unused application. Here is the scenario. I switch ROM from Floyo.025 to Froyobread 0.12. After flashing and wiping all data, i noticed that the apps i used before in my Froyo is still in my SD card. My questions are, how can i removed all those files from my SDcard? Should i reformat the SD Card or should i have to re install all that apps from my Floyo to make it work in Froyobread? If i reinstall apps and put it in my SD will it just overwrite the previous data or will it add a new folder again? I really dont know what to do to free space on my SD. I used Titanium backup to restore the apps but it just causes instability in my new Froyobread. I also try to backup the Floyo with xrecovery before i switched to FloyoBread but its not the same when i tried to Restore it, some apps are not functioning anymore. I want to delete all the unused apps and its data in my SD and start a new clean installation again.

A lil help guys. Thanks much. xoxo :)
[XPERIA X8 General] wildjohn:
last time i flashed a new rom i had the same issue but i just formatted the sd (i did it like in an automated way didnt think any other option as i thought its normal)

anyway the point is that i didnt encounter any problem after this
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Hmm i was also thinking that, but i was so uneasy since there is some files i would like to be left in my sd like my openvpn settings, frameworks that should remains in SD root, my media's such as mp3's and images. Transfering it all over again is not a good idea to me since they are big files. I just wanted to removed those application that was installed in my last ROM or maybe if confirmed that if i reinstalled them they will just overwrite my previous datas of that specific apps in my SD.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Having owned a galaxy s, I prefer the SLCD of the newer HTC phones coming out. They are just so much more clear/crisp and the colors look how they are supposed to look.

I've always thought of super amoled screens as HDTV's on display in a store with the brightness and contrast cranked up, and SLCD screens as HDTV's that have been properly calibrated.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'd take SLCD anyday over super amoled. Anyone else feel the same?
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
You aren't the only one. I've played with a Samsung Focus extensively at work, and I honestly don't like it that much. Yes, the blacks are amazing, because they're actually really truly black. It's a really dramatic difference on the black-heavy WP7 interface.

Every AMOLED screen I've used has this pixelated look to it that just kills me. They do not look smooth.

you can see it a bit in this comparison image:

I think it's just a personal preference thing. Some people like the wow factor of the super saturated colors on AMOLED. Some like how smooth a normal LCD looks.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Blacks look great, I'll give it that, but as soon as I started using an SLCD display, I completely forgot about deep blacks. Overall I just feel that SLCD screens are better.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I prefer Super Amoled to SLCD, but I prefer qHD SLCD to a WVGA Super Amoled. Not sure about Super Amoled Plus though.
[HTC Sensation] yamanote:
Super AMOLED Plus = Super AMOLED - all the bad bits.

Bad bits of Super AMOLED:

Oversaturated? You can adjust the color hue from dynamic (color pops out), standard (erm, standard- looks similar to my Sensation) and movie (dull).

Pixelation? The standard (Real-Stripe) RGB layout on the Plus screen replaces the previous PenTile layout (RGBG). It makes the pixels look like any other normal LCD screen's.

Only gripe is the low-ish resolution now.

The Engadget review explains it quite well:

Disclaimer: I own both the GSII and the Sensation. Yes, I'd take a SLCD over SAMOLED (PenTile really bugs me), but SAMOLED+ over the SLCD on the Sensation any day. The higher resolution is really nice though.

And something for all the cynics who undoubtedly think I'm just a sammy fanboy who doesn't actually have a sensation:

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z451/yamanote/Image0050.jpg

Maybe I'll prefer the Sensation when I can load custom ROMs onto it, who knows? :)
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
i think most of us have read the reviews and specs. When I compared them side by side I had to choose the Sensation though. Which is not to say the Sensation's screen is better, just much more to my liking.

IMHO the S2's screen is an acquired taste. Delicious if you like it, but essential you try before you buy.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
The good thing about SAMOLED is it's very very bright when outside. Go outside in bright sunlight and look at your Sensation's screen. That's right...it's very difficult to see anything.

But SAMOLED also draw backs, especially screen burn in. Personally, if there was a qHD SAMOLED screen, I'd take it, but there isn't, and having used qHD, I don't think I could ever go back :)
[HTC Sensation] Droidicus:
No problem seeing the Sensation screen in direct sunlight. The other thing about samoled screens to remember is that they ABSOLUTELY KILL batteries! I've had a Samsung Vibrant for almost a year now and have NEVER had the brightness above 50%. It's usually all to way down so i can get a days battery charger out of it.
[HTC Sensation] Razius:
Agree. <( ' ' <)

I agree. Currently have the Sensation, what kept me getting that over the Galaxy SII is the resolution of the screen. Absolutely amazing and definitely worth it!
[HTC Sensation] Jabbypants:
I have both and the extra resolution is nice but the gs2 screen is nicer specially with the better viewing angles, its when you put 2 together you notice how much better it looks.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung sold 10MM Galaxy S phones last year making it the top selling phone behind iPhone. 10MM people think the screen's pretty cool - flaws and all. HTC started to use SAMOLED (Desire, Incredible) but Samsung backed out of the deal. HTC must of thought it was pretty cool too because it's a lot more expensive than LCD.

Pick what works for you.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Just wait for Sammy to produce the qHd Super amoleds, then redue the comparison. So far some widgets and apps don't fit correctly with the qHd screens yet. But I like the higher res instead.
[HTC Sensation] SousukeUK:
Because its Super AMOLED

I got two HTC Desire, one the original AMOLED and the other one the LCD.

And if my normal AMOLED is anything to go by, I do understand why people would want something like Super AMOLED in there phone.

The vibrancy and the black level just blows you mind away.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
So yeah.

It's just a matter of preference. Some people like having LED/LCD tv's in their living rooms, and others like myself prefer the deeper blacks, crazy viewing angles, and amazing colors that plasma's provide. It's the same with AMOLED vs LCD. Amoled's do tend to oversaturate colors but it isn't a bad thing.

What seems to turn off most people from Samsungs implementation, is the colors that are used in touchwiz. It makes the experience seem a little circus-like. But once you root it and get rid of touchwiz, it becomes an amazing experience. Believe me, if you owned one you'd understand. You'd learn to love how blacks are pure black, instead of a washed out gray. You'd love that the icons pop out at you. I'm getting the Sensation because i'm with t-mo and I have a nasty obsession with new gadgets, and the Hercules can't get here fast enough. ;)
[HTC Sensation] c@rL0$:
I personally like the color definition of the AMOLED screens. Comparing my Nexus One to my Sesation I believe that the Nexus offers better color definition and graphics seem to look crisper as well.

The Sensation does seem to offer a brighter screen and ofcourse who can complain against a 4.3 inch screen.

I just got my viewpad 10, yea the dual boot tablet, Win 7 HP, and Android 1.5 And I upgraded it from Android 1.5 (cupcake) to 2.2 (froyo) and I still don't have market access or some of the basic functions like live wallpapers, I'm not a Dev at all, but I'm learning and I'm good at hacking. Just attempting to start a form that will help me (and anyone who needs help with this device) take more advantage of the whole point of android. ie different home launchers and apps the cause the device to stand out in a croud. Basicly Im putting this together in hopes that a fourm will be started to advance the development of the device, and teach people (like me) more about computer science and hacking, modding and just helping people do stuff that people want to be able to do.

Just Incredible

when i surf or watching movie, the divice generate heat. and battery perfomance is bad i am using 3G.

also last night it's not charging i have turn of get out battery and than turn it on so many times than it charged i don't know the reason....

device is awesome 3D effect is awesome the audio is good but the speaker volium is low.... when it ring...

tell me abt other review.....
[HTC Sensation] crx4xharder:
Traded my g2x and 200 for the sensation. Yes, I REALLY WANTED IT lol.

Two days after trading, heres what ive noticed...

Pros...

Nice screen, in comparison to my g2x, I'd rate them equal.

Battery life, GREAT! 24 hours of light use, about 16 heavy use. G2x was 8-16 stock b4 rooting.

Cons...

Lag, naturally sense ui is going to hang more often that lgs' "stock" framework. With that said, unless my battery temperature gets over 40 degrees c, it runs smooth. After 40 degrees? I have to reboot and let the phone sit to cool down.

Heat, my particular device gets rather hot with heavy use over a period of 30 minutes or more.

Keyboard, the "swype" mod on the htc keyboard really can't compete with swype itself. However, its awesome having a rough hybrid of the 2.

What's with the nonscrolling live wallpapers? Dual core processor and it can't handle scrolling live wallpapers? Confused...

In the end, I am happy with the sensation, but I do wish I didn't have the heat issues so bad... Once s off and root are accomplished, I'm sure cm7 will run beautifully on this phone. Until then, I'll get my sense ui fix. ;-P

got my Sensation 2 days ago, really digging it so far.

love the big screen.

not sure if it has to do with qhd's higher pixel but typing seems lot more accurate... this just could be due to the screen size.

the phone is so sexy... Design department at HTC did a great job.

hands down best looking handset currently out.

battery life seems decent.

speaker could be a bit louder but I guess it's typical of HTC product.

having fun with the phone so far. :)

Hi all I got my sensation 3 days before ..and I am very much happy.

[HTC Sensation] shammanCZ:
Got the phone this Friday and love it ... honestly, i didnt noticed any of those major bugs i saw when browsing throughout the forum xept the white lines someone mentioned but thats problem of like two widgets and not the phone itself. Yet theres one thing, maybe its bug or whatnot, whats pissing me off ... imminent audio muting and call autopickup when using any kind of headset, its very annoying especially when u have a call from a person you dont realy want to speak with (example yer boss on Friday and Saturday night ... dig it? :P)

On the other hand ... iam not realy impressed by the 8Mpix camera nor the so called "fullHD" videos since they look like ass no matter what you do.

Anyway ... on the scale from 0 to 10 ill give it a 12 :D ... where 10 is my iPhone 4 16GB and 3 my lol HD Mini failphone.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I love it based on its potential. Once its rooted this phone be is gonna special. Right now it feels like the software is underusing the hardware imo.
[HTC Sensation] sert89:
Loving the phone. build quality is amazing. you are actually holding a phone and every other plastic phoneish stuff feels like a toy from then. Only con is they could have made the speaker and headset volume a bit louder but when we get root i am sure this will be fixed.

People who are complaining about lags. Sense 3.0 is a great interface and my phone does NOT lag. I know people are gonna say their dhd with a custom rom will run smoother but sensation is on a stock rom so please stop telling about this. Sensation is going to fly with custom roms it is gonna be so smooth that it would slip away in your hand.

I've had the Sensation for 9 days now and it's simply amazing. Coming from the HD2, I'm amazed by how fast it is (one of the few who don't whine about how it doesn't feel like dual core phone?) and so far, everything works the way it should *knocks on wood*

Again, coming from the HD2, I also like how the phone feels when you're holding it in your hand, so much better than the HD2.

And I also don't mind the locked bootloader. Of course, it would/will be nice to have it unlocked, but I can live with having the stock rom on it.

Love the phone so far, except the lack on mini HDMI, battery could be better and of course the low volume, 8 out of 10 for me will see how the SGII stacks up :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaywiTT:
Hello everyone, I'm new to this android world, so excuse any newbie questions. I just rooted my transformer using NvFlash. Now I'm ready to install custom roms and kernels. The questions I have is

1. which kernel should I install? netformer or clemsyn-blades? both can overclock to 1.6 and both some upgrade features. also, which one is more stable?

2. if I install custom rom or kernel, will it erase all the data on my transformer? meaning all my save game data, pictures, etc...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] botzl:
This should help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
Clemsyn-Blades. Netformer kernel is currently for 3.0. Clemsyn-Blades is compatible with 3.1. 3.1 is the ROM you want to be using.

You already have a custom ROM because you used NVFlash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
As long as you don't wipe your data when flashing rom you will not lose it.

Install kernel will not wipe data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
Agreeing with the guys above. Personally I like the PRIME 1.4 rom and Clemsyn-Blades kernal.

Installing the ROM your better off wiping first (but you don't have to... just might lead to other problems) so backup your data. Would also recommend using the [Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 Modded for Internal media version of clockwork so that it won't wipe ALL your data, just the 'installed apps' and OS.

Kernal goes on after the Rom and doesn't wipe anything (though again I would recommend wiping cache & Dalvik-cache before & after).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaywiTT:
thank for the help. good to know the TF community have such good support.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
I think NVFlash flashes that version of Clockwork Recovery. I know it flashes Clockwork Recovery for sure, it's most likely that version but I never went to look.

So OP might have it already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaywiTT:
can anyone confirm on what zephiK said about the CWM version from nvflash is in fact the same as ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 Modded for Internal media

Did you download the latest version of the USB Mass Storage Watcher app from the market? Also, I have found that when I insert a usb drive, I usually have to reboot to see it in the /usbOTG folder.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkboid:
qwerp - "df" ? Is that an adb command? if so I assume I need run it after I have inserted the USB?

okantomi - Yes I installed it, but it does not see that I have plugged in a thumb drive.

A little more info - my USB mouse works without a problem - The light on USB/USBs flash and then does become solid.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
df is the command you run in the terminal to see devices mounted on your drive.

if you are running the latest tiamat kernel, you do not need the USB watcher.

you see something like

/mnt/usbOTG 1G 1G xxxxxxx

also, can you do a "ls" under /dev/block/ ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightydr:
I'm not sure if its a power problem or the unusual way the built-in Sandisk software mounts the drive (it mounts as a "cd drive" in Windows); but Sandisks are problematic.

If you can, please try another thumb drive just to be sure. Preferably, one with no lights (to minimize power requirements) and not a Sandisk or Kingston, which both use proprietary built-in software upon insertion into PC usb ports.

Might be obvious to everyone else but when I first plugged a drive in I noticed two folders called usbOTG, one in the root and one in /mnt/usbOTG. The one in the root is always empty and the one in /mnt is the one I need to access. Again, not sure if relevant but just thought I'd share :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I just looked at my Xoom's file system again, and actually, the relevant usbOTG folder is on the root. It's on the same directory level as the internal sdcard that contains all of your apps. There is also a mnt/ folder that contains the external sdcard as well as another usbOTG folder (among other things), but that one is empty.

I apologize for having given a wrong location for the usbOTG in the past. I was being lazy.

Edit: I don't know, it's possible that your file system may show usbOTG at a different location, but I just checked again, and mine is on the root. Also can completely hot-swap, no reboot needed. (That's for fat32.):)

If your company has OWA, then it has an exchange backend. I have heard that some of the froyo mail client's don't like exchange though. Flash to a gingerbread rom and try it. The ginger mail app is much better than the froyo one in my opinion. Touchdown is a great mail cilent for android. I have been using it since day 1 on my inspire and it works great. I set to poll every 5 min to conserve battery. You can even set Out of Office on Touchdown! highly recommended!
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
My company also has OWA for all its employees. So when it came time to set up Exchange on now several smart phones, I just used the same basic settings for Outlook as if I was logging into OWA. E.g., when I log into OWA I use employee # for user name, and not my full email address. In manual Exchange mail setup there is a field for user name. Also, I have to specify a specific Domain, which is also part of my login on OWA and on site at work. Also, from what I have gleaned, a lot of companies, mine included, does not require SSL encryption, nay, if the option is selected, the connection will fail. Hope maybe this helps someone...
