[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Yes, it's a great phone. I have not had any issues and I came from the G2x.
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
what's biggest improvement from HTC in this device?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
youtube? there are a lot of reviews available....
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
It seems must issues are isolated to a device to device basis . Cause im not having any issues with mine.
[HTC Sensation] HannoSLM:
Apart from the visual effects and animations, sense 3 is the first version able to read html emails from the old exchange. The performance and screen resolution are also important improvements. It is using the last generations softwate and hardware.
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
ok cool ill give it a drive.thanks
[HTC Sensation] henryr934:
nope i return mine yesterday wait for nexus 4g
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
have u guys tested the screen on direct sunlight?if yes,any improvements?
[HTC Sensation] Jackasaur:
In sunlight the screen works better than my Nexus one lol. I can actually see what's on my S4G's screen.
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
now thats a relief.:D
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I never had a issue with cell signal but I did have a issue with the WiFi dropping off when holding it in landscape view until I went into the WiFi settings and pumped WiFi performance to the max. After doing that, the WiFI stays strong when holding it in landscape.
[HTC Sensation] HannoSLM:
Even at direct sunlight you can easily see with 60% brightness
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
thanks guys im charging the phone as we speak(write)lol.;)
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Let us know if you have the deathgrip issue, or any other comments comming from an HD2 to S4G. I just ordered mine last night and already got rid of my HD2, so I'm stuck :)
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
deathgrip meaning no connection if held with both hands on landscape?
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
I have no death grip problem like I do with my HD2.

BTW: the biggest change I notice last night, besides speed and sense 3.0, was the camera. When recording 1080p, the zoom works. On my HD2, I can only use the zoom before I start recording, not during recording.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Cool beans! I hated having the fixed zoom durring recording. So you're saying that your HD2 has deathgrip but not the Sensation ?

Thanks in advance for sharing.
[HTC Sensation] h0llyw00dj0e:
nothing to complain about here yet, except the locked bootloader. :(
[HTC Sensation] KhanSW:
I came from an HD2 and then to a G2x and I like the sensation better but I do have issues with the data connection. WiFi works fine but the mobile data is horrible. The G2x was better in this regards which was a surprise as I thought it was slower than my HD2, go figure. Hopefully a radio update will fix this issue soon, then I will love this phone. Even though I have issues I still don't regret the purchase as its really a fun phone, just fix the data issues and it would be perfect!
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I haven't had any problems whatsoever. No signal attenuation/death grip problems either. My battery life hasn't been great, 8-12 hours usually but I haven't really tried conservative settings yet.

The screen performs well in the sunlight.

The fact that I haven't experienced death grip might have something to do with the body glove case I use which probably prevents my hand from completely covering the radios even in landscape.

My fairly minor gripes:

Front Facing Camera seems to send dark video in video chat, compared to iPhone 4 my brother was using right next to me.

My boot loader isn't unlocked

Swype works just fine for me. What issues are you having?
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
swype is not working duo to resolution compatibility.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Don't need swype htc has their own version.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
HTC's Swype ripoff is whack! I'm using swype and it works just fine, it's perfectly compatible witt the screen.
[HTC Sensation] bearsblack:
i love the phone in every way, besides im experiencing the same problem... dropping wifi when in landscape, and its not hard to do, its more of a natural holding position.... how did you boost your wifi performance?
[HTC Sensation] BoulderGeek:
I guess that it might be hard to find unbiased reviews here, since everyone made the committment and bought their Sensation.

I am about to pull the trigger tomorrow (Saturday). I am waiting to stack SENSATION50 with the Father's Day $10/month data plan credit.

How many bought the Sensation and wished they hadn't?

I briefly had a Nexus One which I got to Froyo when everything else was Eclair. I demoed the EVO 4G for a month last fall. Same with the Sammy Captivate on AT&T. I have an Archos A70 tablet with Froyo and bought a ViewSonic GTablet off of the Woot sale and hacked on that with various kernels and ROMs. My girlfriend has an iPhone 4G, so I am familiar with that hardware, as well.

So, I've seen a lot of good devices, and know the differences in display technologies. I get the potential upside with unlocked ROM loading and the XDA community levelling its resources on this nice platform.

I guess my question is: will it live up to that potential? Any absolute deal killers, before I make a 2-year commitment? I hate contracts with a passion BTW.

Pull the trigger, or walk away and wait for the next big thing?
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
any work around for netflix app?
[HTC Sensation] lessthanjoey:
I also have no issues and love the phone!

Big improvement in all ways from my Nexus One (other than night time dimmed clock - AMOLED was great for that)
[HTC Sensation] lessthanjoey:
Swype works fine for me...
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I had some FC issues with HTC Sense, but that was fixed easy with a hard reset. No other issues since. I have had every phone under the sun, including both phones you have now and I can honestly say this is the best phone I have ever used by a million miles! How should I put this? It has everything you like best about all of your previous phones, but it has everything you wish your previous phones had. Hope that makes sense? This is the way they should have made the HD2 from the start! How can you go wrong with a fast as hell DC processor, FFC, 8 mp back camera with a 1080p camcorder, 4.3" HD screen (a T-Mobile first for Android), a sexy slim design, and did I mention 2.3 Gingerbread right out of the box? Yes, you will love it, yes you should sell those outdated dinosaurs and get this phone! Just did a Quadrant test, the Sensation rated higher than any phone out there FYI :D.
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
Netflix worked great for me two days ago, I'll test again today. And have no problems with Swype. I installed the new Swype 3.0 version that is made for higher resolution.

http://beta.swype.com/

I just tested Netflix app again, and it worked fine.
[HTC Sensation] shivok:
LoL, HD2 is the legend & S4G is the new puppy coming out in town, meaning it needs a lot of work to be done just to shine. No reason to spent 600euro while The Beast is still kickin' ass. Eeh...hey fellas you forgot to port RIM OS to HD2...ROFL :D
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
What version of Netflix are you using? I tried the one here on XDA and I only get errors when I attempt to play a movie?
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:
I finally got to play with a sensation today..wasnt impressed at all..sense and browser were lagging/sluggish..I was also able to check the death grip - was easy by holding it in my natural way of holding a phone in landscape..when I killed all apps from taskmanager the overall performance was better but still ages behind the smoothness of the sgs2..dont know what to do now as I was planning in getting a sensation..

I think there is just not enough ram for better multitasking or the memory management sucks badly..I was impressed by the design..nice to hold and really awesome screen, though the colors were washed out in certain positions (but I dont care about that)..

So,my only concers are

1. Performance (overall, browser!!, sense)

2. Amount of ram (related to performance)

3. Death grip (althoug I set it to best wifi performance)

I really hope some issues can be fixed with a badass custom rom :-) but I still dont get it why htc publishes such a obviously not finished/polished rom on a phone..even my browser on my milestone is not that laggy like on the sensation :-(
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Seems like the Sharp panels are not as good in the sun as the AOU ones
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
thanks got netflix and official swype working now all i or we need is "ROOT" and get to the main business.
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
Appart from battery dying too fast, and I kbow it will get better when I stop playing with the phone 24 /7, I just wish it was vanilla android. Once the phone is rooted it will be the best phone on the market.
[HTC Sensation] grlddawkin:
great phone all around. coming from a vibrant it is a great upgrade. having not had any issues this is the best i've had hands down.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
That's good to hear. I"ll be ordering mine at the end of the week. Also coming from a vibrant.
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Coming from a vibrant good upgrade just miss my root access and all the rooted apps . I'm patiently waiting for htc to unlock this bad boy.
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
I just left my EVO 4G using a MikG rom and that thing was rocking. Now that I have the Sensation I'm loving it more and more every day. Once this thing is rooted, it's going to fly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dudleygb:
Hi all,

i'm so keen to get cifsmanager working on the 10.1v, has anyone managed to get it going as yet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SpenZerX:
I think you need a working cifs.ko. its not availiable yet. I dont now if this files are galaxy tab specific or if you can use the files from other honeycomp tablets.

SpenzerX
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dudleygb:
i managed to find a xoom zip file for rooting, it had the files in there, but I couldn't get them into the system modules directory. Is there a way to install them or must I root my device again? Appreciate the info.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lufc:
Questions should not be asked in the Development Forum as they are not Development Thank you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rainby:
In most case you will need ,I guess, root to be able to load cifs module. Besides cifsmanager from the market, I used another app named mount manager which give you easier parameter setting options for mounting. Again it asks root first..and compatible cifs module
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dudleygb:
sorry :) my bad
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dudleygb:
thanx man, will give it a try

i found this, but unsuccessfully been able to get the .ko file into the kernel....

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-fi-root-now-available-sans-bricking-feature/

whats the best way to get the .ko file into the system/module/lib/ directory, can I just go in via fastboot? I'm a bit unclear, I dont really want to root again and have everything reset again, but if I have to, I will, just want to make sure theres not another way...thanx for responses
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rainby:
there is a cifs module released in a very first coutom rom img in the forum. you may want to give it a try.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FlaTLinE-:
cifs.ko

Looks like SuperCurio just released the source and has built a custom kernel already with cifs.ko integrated. located in the developer thread

[Acer Iconia A500] secularhuman:
When I use Speedtest I regularly get download speeds greater than 5mb/sec but in day to day downloading I almost never get bettet than 1mb/sec.

Why is this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aparanoidandroid:
I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in for those who have had problems with their G2X rebooting or locking up and requiring a reboot. I update daily to the latest Cyanogenmod build and have already been going on strong for 6 days without a single reboot/lockup.

Before this, I was experiencing multiple lockups/reboots throughout the day.

Except for battery life, I'm happy with my G2X now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Ditto.

CM7 is what brought sanity back to the phone for me.

Only reason I reboot is because I flash the dam thing every night.

Can't wait for the RC or stable release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darushin:
I guess I must be a lucky one. I haven't had any reboots or issues like that with my G2x. The only reason I rooted this phone was because I suspected the bloat was causing my Audio to studder. After rooting and installing then Ultimate G2x Rom with faux's stock kernel, I can say this g2x is now one of the best phones I have owned. I can't help but wonder how many issues with rebooting and what not would be solved by removing the Tmobile and LG crapware they put on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Same setup here and no reboots or freezes or anything like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikaden:
I'm running the stock ROM rooted with the faux kernel and I've NEVER had any rebooting or freezing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Same with me, stock with faux. I also applied paul's fix.

Are you using the pre-UVed kernel? Did you UV even more? Right now I'm undervolted -25mV in addition to the -50mV in the kernel
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The only rom that gave me trouble was the unofficial GB leak. Every few hours the phone would be off in my pocket.

All other roms ran like a champ. Been running CM7 since #0, only straying to try other roms for a day. No complaints.

To OP, CM has always been rough on battery life. Try using another kernel and you should get more life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Eagles blood 1.0.5 ftwwwwwww... All great roms out :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Quick noob question...what do i wipe if I just want to flash a kernel over stock?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
just go into recovery and wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then install kernel and boot up....assuming u are rooted and have the nvflash recovery rite?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Yes, I've already installed eagles blood 2.3.4 but went back to my stock setup...I still want to try out other setups to see what I like best...another noob question lol

Can I just backup my stock kernel and flash it if I dont like the custom kernel? Or do I have to restore my whole stock rooted backup? (my nandroid backup I think is the correct term) thanks! Sorry for my newbiness hehe
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea u would def have to restore your stock nandroid backup, because no one has just the stock kernel from lg u can flash, so yes u would restore the backup, then if u wanted to flash the kernel wipe cache and dalvik then install fauxs kernel and your good;).......also and if u dont like it which u probably will, just restore the backup again, and u should really try ebfroyo 1.0.5 it looks just like gingerbread and u have the stock camera app and its so quick, awesome rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Im def going to give ebfroyo a try! Thanks for the help bro! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Downloaded ebfroyo 1.0.5 and I'm looking at faux's kernel's but not sure which one I need to flash...can you point me to the correct kernel? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
well the rom comes with fauxs ext4 kernel on it.... but supposedly people are having problems with ext 4 and recovery so what i did was threw on fauxs ext3 kernel on over it, use the 1.5 one, just wiped cache and dalvik then got the rom how i wanted it then made my backup, this way i know i wont have problems with the ext3 kernel
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
I've been searching for gapps froyo with no luck...I'm on my phone and dont have a computer available at the moment, can someone help please? Sorry, thanks!

[Xperia Play General] zaheerjane:
hiya i have a desire hd and xp play. i play ashpalt 6 on both of them and feel like the display, speed and performance of game on desire hd is lot better than xp play?
[Xperia Play General] Legato525:
Its possible, I don't know the desires specs but the play is not a power house, though I find the experience enjoyable.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Both the Xplay and the Desire HD use an Andreno 205 gpu

Both the Xplay and the Desire HD use a second generation 1ghz Snapdragon MSM8255 CPU

The only difference is the HD has 50% more ram, which, in the case of gaming, maybe the odd stuttering on the xplay
[Xperia Play General] jkr284:
i think the desire hd has a 480x800 screen whereas the play has a 480 x 854 screen which could affect performance
[Xperia Play General] -josh-:
How exactly is it worse on the play? I dont have a hd to compare but the game runs flawlessly on my play, the only place it seems a little slow is the menu screens but the actual game is fine
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
I get major slowdowns in Asphalt on the PLAY.

In fact all Gameloft games are quite bad. Backstab (which I just completed), and even Everybodys Gold stutters.

They should have gave the PLAY more power.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Chainfire 3d is the single most useful thing you can install to stop the stuttering.

It is a mediator between the app and the open gl drivers.

It actually works pretty darn good.
[Xperia Play General] chokonen888:
Chain fire huh? Gonna try that tonight!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
the xperia play uses high speed ddr2 ram where as the desire HD doesnt, that easly makes up the shortfall, also the xperia play has better gpu drivers than the DHD :)
[Xperia Play General] zaheerjane:
the image quality and game loading speed is really which makes me feel like desire hd is good.

i ran chainfire on both and tried 2 thd games fruit ninja , and on xp play loading and animation some times lag, while on desire hd its smooth.

another off topic thing any one know how to stream PC music to xperia play?

on my desire hd i do it through connected media but cant figure it out on xp play.
[Xperia Play General] Scorbion:
is ur desire running a stock rom??
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Cool, good to know.

To be honest I don't notice any major slowdown on the play on any game. In fact when I first tried out the games my first thought was how well they all ran. I found the menu screen to be a tad laggy (button press isn't immediate), but the actual gameplay is just fine.

That is until Asphalt decided to **** the bed...I'm thinking it was my reinstall/update. :(
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Edit: Waaaait, it started randomly working again today! :)

Edit 2: Damn qoute button. I'm used to edit being there. And no way to delete posts???? Gaaaaaaah!
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I doubt the Chainfire 3d open gl settings would make much difference to fruit ninja a 2d game.

Could be wrong though.
[Xperia Play General] zaheerjane:
sorry i am talking about the Fruit ninja THD with chainfire plugin.
[Xperia Play General] zaheerjane:
nope , its running Leedroid OC at 1.8Ghz
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
So, you're telling us that the Play works worse than the Desire HD, and as test devices we get stock Xperia Play (1 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, unoptimized code) against a Desire HD with 80% more clock speed than stock, more RAM (albeit with a lower bus speed) and a much more refined code than stock. Is that a meaningful comparison?
[Xperia Play General] zaheerjane:
yeah sorry i realized this thing after some 1 asked about stock rom. still the reason i asked the question is coz like every 1 else i bought this phone for gaming , and atleast it should run the games smooth and better than other devices.
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
if you device is rooted, install the cifs module from dev section, use cifsmanager to mount share on your pc to your sdcard and stream video,music and photos from any app and make the phone think its all stored on your sdcard :D
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I'd say Let's Golf stutters due to poor programming, not because it taxes the Xperia Play. It stutters when and only when the computer is playing.

[Droid X General] chip0:
Idk if this is a dumd question, but I have fission rom manager lite installed on my phone, n I was reading another forum n it said I can donate and ill get a link to the full version. Does anybodu know the difference between lite and full version? Also how do I donate to get the full one?
[Droid X General] openbox9:
Angdroid had released a newer version in the ROM manager that had one small fix. Otherwise, there's not much of a difference if I remember correctly. Honestly though, Fission development is done (developer moved on). I would choose a different ROM if I were you. Liberty, Apex, or even the fresh CM7 that cvpcs is working on are all GB-based and have more promise than Fission does in its current state.
[Droid X General] chip0:
Ooooooooo, ok lol thanx ill deff check one of those out
[Droid X General] chip0:
Where can i find info on iincluding a dl for apex? Ive seen people mention it in some forums but i havent seen it available for dl, idk mabye i just missed the post. Also which rom is the best in ur opinion? Theres not really alot of roms too choose from with the dx is there? Lol i used to have a hd2 runnin android, i really miss all the htc sense stuff...i wish there was a sense like rom :(

Keep having to restart phone to get wifi working again (Vibrant)

Been having this problem for a while now; Seems like every so often, my wifi will stop functioning and no matter how much refreshing and fiddling i do, the only successful solution seems to be to restart the phone. Once i do that, everything is fine until this issue happens again of course.

I've tried a couple wifi-fixer apps to no avail except for one that did the trick for a couple months i'd say. but recently it stopped saving the day.

I'm a loss when it comes to what kind of information can make my problem easier to solve so feel free to ask. i'll put my phone info here in the meantime:

T959UVJI6
