[Nexus S General] rentaric:
You definitly got a point. A recently cleaned Nexus S is almost a guaranteed buy (or sell, whatever pov :D). One of the best looking phones while in stand-by.

--

If you care about getting the latest android within a few days after being released, NxS is the only option. Beside that and the pretty looks I think Arc and NxS are pretty much on the same level. If you can't decide because of looks or the immediate updates, compare the price, still no winner, flip a coin, I think you can't go wrong really between NxS and Arc.

--

Btw, the non-720p videos (scaled to 720p) shot with NxS look way better then most 720p vids from other smartphones.
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
Thats good to hear about the camera. It really is one of the few things holding me back from the nexus s vs the arc.

I do care about the updates, it seems SE has been doing better since the whole thing with the X10. But who knows how long that will last!

I love the looks of both phones. They are totally different looks wise, but both appeal to me. I think making these threads is actually making the decision harder for me! lol, I thought for sure I was going to get the arc, now I am on the fence again...
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
that's what i'm talking about, have you seen atrix 1080p videos?! it's awful.

that's a pic with an atrix:

e that is the same thing with an iphone:

what do you prefer?! =oP

edit: posting smaller imgs!

well, just post same thing in arc forum! =o)

[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
after read it, i wanna buy a arc too!! lol..

seriously, whetever device you choose, you'll be fine! just pick one and don't look back... =o)
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Worst thing to do when you bought a technical device. The moment the money has been spend stop looking for alternatives/replacements, that's a vicious circle :p

--

Lol @ the guys on the Arc forums, didn't ease the question for the OP :D
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
I know!

I think I am going to go tomorrow to play with both phones, I still have a week or so until I can get either one...I am becoming obsessive..
[Nexus S General] gunstar3035:
Don't make the MISTAKE I did...choose the Nexus S for the love of GOD. Do NOT buy the Arc.

I walked into a Rogers Store thinking I knew how the Arc would handle and feel, playing with a dummy phone WRONG. I bought the thing cash for $700 after tax and a $19 case.

I go home, fire it up and instant regret.

I will list everything wrong with the phone in my opinion:

1. Multitouch is retarded. When you try it out go into gallery and try to pinch to zoom around pics...it will not behave correctly.

2. If you can access the browser, go to a web site that allows you to pinch to zoom and just set your finger tips on the screen motionless...watch as the screen vibrates and goes crazy.

3. Screen is too thin and long. I found typing to be really bad, and SE removed speach to text from the Arc stock keyboard. Also the Arc keyboard is not multitouch.

4. The build quality is much worse than the Nexus S. The back door creeks and makes noises almost everywhere you touch it.

5. The screen IMO looks washed out, but sharp.

6. On 3 bars I dropped a call 5 times in the same call! WTF is that?

7. Arcs screen SUCKS. Its mineral glass with a thick plastic "shatter proof film" on it that not only gets scratched up too fast, but makes the screen a finger print, smudgy mess. Horrible.

Anyways the Arc is so bad I actually took my Arc (that I just had dropped $700 on 2 days before) and traded it for a used/mint Nexus S and I could not be happier. My only regret is that I did not buy the Nexus S first.

Sure the Arc has some nice features like HDMI out (I found useless really) and it does Video nice (I find the Nexus S takes better pics personally)

Go Nexus S or you'll be sorry...I can PROMISE you that...
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
Wow, this kind of things is always in the back of my mind when thinking about either one.

Do you think it was the firmware you were using? Not saying you are wrong, but just wondering.

The camera thing intrigues me, on the gsmarena camera compare tool, the nexus s did look a little better at 100% crop. Check it out.

The arc seems to be fuzzier, there is a loss of detail in the 100% crop.......

I will check all that stuff out when I go to physically use the phones, hopefully today.
[Nexus S General] mr_raider:
I hesitated and I finally went with the NS. Reasons:

Unlocked bootloader means custom ROMs

Always up to date software

Fast smooth UI with no carrier or OEM crap on it. I'll load my own crap thank you very much.

This phone will be useable long after SE ditches support for the Arc and relegates it to the scrap heap.
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
:) I don't think you will regret it.. the general attitude I see, and share, is that once you own a Nexus device you really don't want to own anything else. I came from an Epic 4G for example, so the hardware between that and my Nexus S 4G are literally identical. However, the Nexus S runs circles around the Epic which is crippled with the TouchWiz framework.

You really just can't beat AOSP the way Google intended.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyork:
Rom manager was not meant for the tab as is. You need to flash a proper recovery first.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timwarner:
confused

UHG! I am so confused, ok, gonna do more reading... there are just so many differences in tabs and roms and kernels and bootloaders and flashes and ... ok, gonna try and figure it out.

at least i will stop spinning my wheels with rom manager... I guess I was confused because it has the option to flash clockworkmod recovery for my specific device Galaxy Tab - Verizon.

off to do some better research... throw a link or two at me if you feel so enticed as to throwing something :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] glgehman:
So is it me, or is the autocomplete / auto-correct on my Asus TF really a lot more ignorant than similar systems on other devices? I have a Nook Color and a G-Tablet and a HTC Evo phone. Of them all, the Evo is far and away the smartest prediction engine. But basically all of my device at least know how to /add words/ to the user dictionary and learn through use.

I have not found that TF learns anything. And it even misspells its own name (I typed Transformer perfectly and when I read back the reply to my email, I find that what went out was: 'Tr abandoned.' WTF?

I like the Asus keyboard, but am switching to the stock Honeycomb keyboard to see if it behaves better. Maybe it's as simple as that.

Anyone know how to tweak the settings to make the stock keyboard more accurate or learn better?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
I just tried the sensor test using the dial code..proximity sensor shows 0..but as soon as i put my palm about an inch from the sensor..the whole screen changes to green, phone vibrates and prox sensor value shows 1...i also noticed that the light sensor value changes as i am moving my palm to and away from the light sensor.

Anyway..if you are having a phone call and when u put the phone towards your ears..the screen goes blank..that shows prox sensor is working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mc0815:

In my case, unfortunately, does not the value 0. The screen is not green.

This is the Senor does not work, I noticed on the phone. The display stays on constantly.

[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Issues with touchscreen being unresponsive.

Important Isuue usually appears at least after a week of owning the device

Quick test:

Lock device. Unlock, launch camera app in the lockscreen, take picture, try pressing back button, see if it responds straight away or with a delay. Test it with all apps on lockscreen.

Issue unlocking ? I.e dragging circle to the middle?

Bottom of a screen not responsive sometimes.

Back button slow to respond.

Apps launching when you try to change screen, i.e. phone registers swipe as a press.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/06/06/is-your-htc-sensation-having-touchscreen-problems/

CAUSE Grounding pin not touching back cover, which causes (by the looks of it) build up of static which messes up touch screen.

FIX Best to use in conjunction with fixes below.

POSSIBLE FIXes if above doesn't work, which it should, but don't expect immidiate results.

1.Shut down phone and pull battery out for at least an hour (i recommend overnight). Press power button as to turn phone on, which in theory should discharge all the left over current in the hardware.

Give it a go and let me know if it works.

2.Letting battery discharge till phone turns off,put on charge and don't touch it till it's full.

I want to thank abrown0809, eliteone, stuart0001(legendary patience :) ), zmfl, maschenazi, nugzo and all other people i forgot to mention for sticking with me while trying to work out FIX. Thanks to all the posters too.

I take NO credit for the fix. :)

Poll is here to show how many people have this problem to HTC, not to work out what percentage of users have it, as it will definitely be incorrect.

Vote yes if you EVER experienced touchscreen problems, even if its gone now.

PETITION for HTC to admit that there is touch screen problem.

[HTC Sensation] Neville.Holland:
HT15HV80XXXX	6/1/2011

HT15BV80XXXX	6/8/2011

HT15EVXXXXX	6/13/2011 Current Device

Had big problems with the first two, both returned... Third is an improvement, however:

Seems to be a problem with the application data screen (where you can move to SD etc...) all of the data goes mental and the buttons flash sometimes causes a crash that only battery removal cures...

Back button seems to forget to work when the screen unlocks, normally returns to normal after several actions

Unlock screen is hard to unlock sometimes... helps if you are holding the device...

Screen is sometimes slow to respond

SD app icons on home screens do not regenerate after reset...

Only real bug is that non HTC widgets sometimes get flickering rainbow coloured stripes but they are strictly attached to the widget and vanish once I replace the it. So this should not be a display problem especially as the HTC widgets are never afflicted.

HT15RT, may build and ship date

all of the above in terms of problems. unlocking problem, bottom of the touchscreen not being responsive, swipes registered as taps fairly frequently, issues with wifi cycling and never connecting, and it has ruined the SD card it came with (do the point that it gets detected by my win7 computer but crashes explorer, and on my mac it just isn't detected) as well as the 16GB microsd I foolishly swapped in from my DSLR.

Did I mention that I still am absolutely in love with the phone?

Hmmm, still a bit random.... We just need to find a common factor. If anyone spots anything in common, just mention it, even if you are not sure.
[HTC Sensation] cirrob:
I appreciate this thread. I am still considering purchasing this phone but the two major hold backs are the wifi signal deathgrip issue and of course the touch screen. I kinda went through this debacle with the mt4g and don't really want to go through the hassle again of finding a working model.
[HTC Sensation] xSDMx:
Did those with or without problems use a screen protector?

I left the stock screen protector on my unit and it works beautifully. Maybe because the touch screen unit is slightly displaced, static build up on the gorilla glass causes issues with some unit?

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
What version of Sense is your desire running? I know its not 3.0. The problem lies within the new version of Sense because once I put ADW on the Sensation, it becomes faster than my G2X. I just wish these manufacturers would just stop using custom UI's or atleast make sure there optimized. Samsung made sure there custom UI was optimized but HTC dropped to ball with the new version of Sense.

[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
I flashed a Sense 3.0 rom on my desire and I can tell you that it was the same as fast as the Sensation and the homescreen animations were smoother. Surely, this doesn't make sense because the Sensation is a lot more powerful than the desire spec-wise. How can the desire, with its Adreno 200, be smoother than the Sensation (on Sense 3.0 always)? At the moment, I see the desire as a better Sensation without the problems and the big screen. I just can't see why I spent 600 euro to buy this phone and get all these touchscreen issues and problems and laggy ui. It just doesn't feel like a flagship phone. Do you think our beloved devs over here will fix all these or should I just sell it and keep the desire until something better comes out?
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I think a Sense 3.0 ROM would be coded differently than the stock Sense 3.0. In my opinion HTC's drivers always suck. It's almost like they don't give a **** what type of performance there devices give its customers. I don't care what materials Samsung uses for the outside of there devices, in my opinion they are now the company to beat.

I've have been having the ring unlock issue and laggy touch commands (either typing or home, menu back or search). The touch screen issue regarding the ring unlock comes and goes but I have found that performing a G Sensor Calibration usually fixes it at least for a bit of time. However, the lock ring issue did come up twice in one day so I'm not sure what's going on.
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Possible fix: G-Sensor calibration

[HTC Sensation] timmiii:
I just found this when I was messing around with my keyboard settings. There's an option to calibrate your screen for touch sensitivity. I've tried it out and it seems to help some what at least now when I type it feels less sluggish as well as touch commands.

Hi

I have a HT15A Sensation with Sharp screen and I was having the issue.

It was difficult to unlock with the ring, but was more difficult to use the lock pattern. It looked like it didn't feel my finger constantly.

Trying to use the "carousel" thing was impossible, and typing was sometime missing letters.

I removed the battery 5sec and reboot. And it is gone... for now.
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
Don't know if it's software related,but i installed multitouch test from the market,the soft only recodnize 4 fingers (i think this is normal).

The thing is that when i remove my fingers from the screen,the sensitive keys do not respond anymore...

The other bug is the same that was having the desire...
[HTC Sensation] Gurkburken:
Heres more info to the pile:

SN:HT15KV

Have had the phone for just over two weeks now. Did not have any notable screen issues until a couple of days ago. I went on a vacation for a couple of days and after a couple of days i got hit by a sluggishness that drove me mad. Carousel was impossible and it almost didnt register swipes at all. (it registered them like i pressed an icon like others have had).

Tried removing battery - no luck. Tried different launchers - no luck. Almost tried throwing the damn thing full force into a wall - havent tested yet.

I got home yesterday and was thinking id return the phone today but when i woke up and got to work i noticed that the phone was behaving like normal again(!). The only thing that i can think of that differed was the power outlets.

When i was on vacation i was at an old house with non-grounded outlets and at home i have grounded outlets. I'm totally ignorant when it comes to how electricity works but since ive been reading about it being a grounding issue...

I always charge my phone over night and im thinking it might have released that electrical tension when i got home and used proper outlets (?).

p.s i forgot: I also connected the phone to my PC via the USB cable to do some stuff when i got home. Perhaps that might have grounded the phone(?). Assuming it is a grounding issue.
[HTC Sensation] brocksie:
Have a16T and had the lockscreen and touchscreen issue also had a charging issue were phone would take forever to charge ...I changed chargers to my old Belkin cable and everything seems to be working fine...strange!
[HTC Sensation] seepa:
Sorry to debunk your theory, but i had the exact same thing happen to me. The only difference is that after i got home and charged the phone overnight, (in a grounded socket) the problem was still there and still very annoying.

Called customer support of the place i bought it from and their answer was that they are going to service it first, which is bullsh**. They can service it all they want, but having read through all the threads concerning the issue, it's not going away just by doing a hard reset on the damn thing. I guess i'll have to waltz in there and try and reason with them. Maybe someone at the shop is already familiar with the issue... Hoping for it, at least. Sigh.
[HTC Sensation] st1g:
I have to say that it also happens to me after being plugged into a "different" house (during vacation). There was also non grounded outlets but as the charger is not grounded either.. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
For me it happened just after a charge during the night at the hotel. Now I charged it on my PC and the problem got away (for now at least). It starts to seem like a hardware issue...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Hardware...hmmmm, maybe... But not sure about it though. One thing I noticed that the lower the battery %, worse it got. Current unit i have charges to 4212mV, and no issues so far. Previous one with issue charged to 4197mV. Could it be that there is just not enough power after wake up as device ups battery usage?

I checked my battery specs and right now, 4215mV @ 99% 32.7deg C. Haven't really noticed a huge correlation, however, I did notice some strange activity when having the phone plugged into the charger while swyping.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Something definitely wrong with the charging of this device.... I'm not using the included charger to see I'd I have issues.. I think stock charges are causing static electricity....
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I am a betting man and I am betting that this is a charging issue. It's probably not a software issue since resetting the device doesn't seem to do anything. I'm thinking that the device is getting ****ed up by static electricity build up. It seems like it takes a couple days to a couple weeks for this issue to start happening so what else would cause it to happen after days or weeks.

We need an answer from HTC NOW!!!
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
This exactly what I think.. so far using vibrant charger only things are good... Another reason how people issue disappears. Maybe they use a different charger and the static slowly disappears. Definitely a wacky charging deal.
