My battery life is not the best, but it's not horrid either. I keep 4g on all the time, auto data sync on at all times (2 pop 3 email accounts, 2 push email account, yahoo mail push email account and gmail) plus it updates my weather, facebook, twitter every hour. at 4pm edt today I was at 100%. and I listened to 2 hours of music, sent a few emails and texts and 5 hours and 48 minutes later I have 27% left. 71% of that is the display!! If I hadnt listened to music for two hours (streaming via google music skipping around a lot) I would have a lot more battery life left. I think that 27% will last me the rest of the night as the rest of the night will be lighter usage

hmm I havent noticed this issue on mine. I know the other dude said he did, but mine was readable

Were your APN settings different on the unbranded one? I'm curious is mine are jacked. lol I saw the phone had one already, one for TMO Data and one APN for TMO MMS, but I didnt check those settings. lol Mind posting the settings so I can compare?
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Interesting how your first picture you posted earlier looked as if the AU panel was better, Now that I see it on the angle and another shot I think I might have to change that, the sharp does look better, especially on the side angle. And you can REALLY see the lines on the AU screen especially through the numbers on the clock
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
that's weird. I have a Sharp and it's readable.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I just responded to that as well.. I do too and it's very readable
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Yep, glad I have the Sharp screen!
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
out of curiosity how do u check it? i just got the phone =/
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
read the OP ;)
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
+1 squared
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
Theres a hit to the quality but its still very easibly readable
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
terminal emulator < is that in the market place?

also um.. is your power button slanted? i cant ever seem to gps my location while my iPhone does it in seconds.

hmm mine isnt the sharp screen.... RETURNING THIS TOMORROW >.<
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I have a Sharp screen, but I can see the "LINES" as well... :mad:
[HTC Sensation] xSDMx:
Rofl. I kind of like the contrast.
[HTC Sensation] datboililp:
ok so whats the consensus here

sharp = better?

auo = worse?
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
i got a sharp, absolutely no lines here.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I think so far that is.. although everyone has said that standing alone(not side by side) they are both great displays.. so it wouldnt be right to say better or worse.. just different. Some people have stated they prefer the AU screen. after the pics posted I think the sharp looks better, but that's just my preference :)

Let's try not to say one is good and one is bad, they are just different. Because then everyone will start creating "Oh I have a defective screen" threads when that's not the case.. it's just.... different.. ;)
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
All I got from that post is that sharp is better than the AU screen.

:D
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Lines...bad camera, but I think you can see it

Also have some issues with ghosting/text scrolling which is strange because I've only read that from the AUO owners, not Sharp
[HTC Sensation] jonathan3579:
My first unit had a slanted power button however my second one has a slanted volume rocker. This is clearly a design flaw from the back cover/shell.
[HTC Sensation] martinchavez90:
So

Auo - has better contrast and more vivid colors and good viewing angels

Sharp have more crisp display but more washout color ...
[HTC Sensation] kevin2sick:

No problems here, TMOUS Sensation, 5/29/11 on box
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
That pretty much sums it up....

Just read all 17 pages.... This thread shows one thing very CLEARLY.... There is absolutely no concrete proof which screen is better.

I have the Sharp screen and I have no idea how it could look any better? Crisp, clear, great contrast, perfect viewing angles (for any consistent strange angles, which is rare as 99% of the time I'm looking straight at it) etc etc. As far as most people on here with the Acer...seems they feel the same way about theirs....go figure :p

To my eye its as crisp and gorgeous, just much bigger, than my ladies IPhone 4.

Again....as in most cases, most devices....its personal preference.

I love my Sharp made SLCD!
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Nice way to sum it up. I agree, it's personal preference and as I have said neither should be looked at as a "good" vs. "bad" or "better" or "worse" display. They just have subtle differences. before starting this thread I heard a lot of chatter about the sensation having the same issue as the MT4G screen differences, So I think it's clear 1. There are two different panel manufacturers and 2. While the displays have subtle differences they are both very nice and one is not bad or worse than the other.. just different :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Indeed...well said.

Forgot to add.... Date on box is 5/25, Taiwan.

Additionally, this is my 2nd Sensation. First one had dust under the screen, but looked equally as gorgeous as my new one. The date on the box of the dusty one was one day newer, 5/26. I didn't know the make of that display.

I hope this one stays dust free. I believe there's a thread about manufacture date and dust, but I'm not sure if display manufacturer has come into to the dust threads... That would be interesting to look into.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
The AUO screen seems to have color temperature issues, washes out more and it is just not as nice as the Sharp screen..

Both could be better by S LCD standards.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Sounds like you know.... Guess I'm glad I have Sharp.

Now I hope I don't get dust in this one. That is my sole concern about this beautiful display ;)
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
this is exactly how I feel after owning both versions. Especially the wash part as the green android men on the bootloader screen dont turn yellow when you change angles on the AU they remain green as compared to sharp screen I had which they turn yellow.

Side note they both work well under direct sunlight.
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I have the AUO_NT and it looks great. I am coming from the Vibrant so I was kind of expecting to be disappointed in the screen but I am pleasantly surprised. The contrast is good and I can use it at a low screen brightness in almost all situations. Off axis viewing is really good. I have it lying flat on my desk and as I move down I can read the time all the way to the point that the screen is obscured by the TPU case.

I don't see "lines" in the numbers on the clock. Of course, I haven't taken a picture and blown it up to 50X it's actual size to analyze it. I don't generally use Photoshop when I check the time so I would say that it's perfect. :)

As for battery... I got 15 hours yesterday and that was including a solid hour and a half of playing around on it while I was waiting for tires to be installed on my car. I listened to the FM radio and MP3s while surfing the web, and then flipped over and watched some YouTube videos. I unplugged it at 7am and when I plugged it in at 10pm I had 7% left.

I am impressed with this phone. Those of you returning the phone because of some perceived problem that you created in your mind due to someone's post on the forums (mostly to make themselves feel better about the version they happened to receive) are a little off your rocker. :)
[HTC Sensation] jankyboy:
I have the AUO screen and no complaints. The phone is fantastic and the display looks far better than the one on my Thunderbolt.
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
Yeah, you can't get past that 100%. I mean how many pixels would it take before it was smooth as glass no matter how close you looked, LOL... but I noticed the Acer has lines that seem to be all horizontal, while the sharp has more of a grid of lines.

I see the same funky scrolling text when it's white text on black on the Sharp as well, it's just a bit worse on the AUO.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
So has anyone else noticed the pixelation around the launcher I find it pretty noticeable ok the launcher's rounded edges. I have the sharp display I don't know if any other people with the sharp display are having this issue as well. It's noticeable with the phone pretty far away from my face.
[General Questions and Answers] maizkee:
I got this phone as a hand me down from a good friend... I already did a hard reset on it, and was trying to configure the WIFI to connect me to the internet...

After following thoroughly the new user manual, I got myself connected to my WIFI connection... It says 'connected'...but I cannot go through the internet... everytime I open the internet explorer mobile, it just kept saying 'the page cannot be found'... but i believe everything in the connection setting is accurate...

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thank you so much

Hi all,

I am on [ROM][Sense 2.1+3.0mix][02 June]RCMix S v2.0 CM7.

I've been using this rom for a couple of days and its brilliant, but.....I have an issue which I can't seem to figure out.

All of my pictures have disappeared from the gallery. I have a backup which I put back into the DCIM folder but a couple of hours later all the pictures have disappeared again. My music and apps are all ok but my photos have all disappeared.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
Help? Anyone?
[Desire General] dislplin01:
I don't use the ROM but that's really strange a any other mods???? Its there anything else you are doing
[Desire General] dislplin01:

[Desire General] Arkangel786:
I've now tried 2 different SD cards and am getting the same result on both......all my pics disappear after a few hours. Can anyone help??
[Desire General] dislplin01:
You should really post this thread in your phones forum and also ask in the forum of that rom
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
I can't post in that thread until I've reached 10 posts.
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
Only a couple more to post now, lol.

Done.
[Droid 2 Global General] longtune:
There is a guy in Shenzhen,China offering the unlocking service.

I dont know how to unlock the phone.But I received the unlocked phone in the price of 200 yuan(about 31 dollars).

Now,I can normally use it.;);)
[Droid 2 Global General] the-light:
did u had to give him the phone physically?
[Droid 2 Global General] XtriFe:
"unlockable via unlock code Droid2 Global had been unlocked"

I imagine you meant non-unlockable via unlock code. Any more info available ?
[Droid 2 Global General] longtune:
I don‘t think the phone was unlocked by unlock code because the imei code had been changed.

Now the imei code is "00000XXXXXXXXXXX"

and it should be "31412XXXXXXXX"
[Droid 2 Global General] michaelmenavargas:
Hi can you give more info i want to unlock my droid 2 global but is bad esn plase help me?
[Droid 2 Global General] longtune:
You had to give him the phone physically.

He use a special device to unlock the phone.

If you are not in China,you'd better use turbosim because the shipping fee is too high.

You may cost 60 dollars for shipping and another 31 dollars for unlocking.
[Droid 2 Global General] xploited:
Do you have his contact information? How can we get in touch with him?

Does he speak English?
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
I've moved on from T-Mobile to Sprint.

I got the Evo 3d. I have never ordered a phone this way. Usually its only through carrier or in store.

But I figured Id try wirefly.

No deposit.

Went well.

But I have silly worries because im anticipating this phone so much.

Anyone that has used them before?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scoop003:
I've used them a couple of times, and had no problems. Nothing to worry about. I decided to go the Radio Shack route, but that's because I want to make sure I have it at 9am when they open. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapSilicon:
just wished you'd of posted that you were looking to get the phone before jumping on wirefly tho

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Wirefly

They have a pretty good reseller rating over the last 6 months, but it looks like their customer service is crap.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I had a problem getting my HTC Hero from them (although it was back in '09?). I called, answered all information (literally took like 2 hours), and the sales rep continued to try to sell me accessories even though I had said no countless times. Then, the next day, they tell me to email them my SSN for security because Sprint rejected the upgrade or something. I cancelled and ordered straight from Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
Well fingers crossed.:-)
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
They said ill have it the 24th. I hope that's right. Anyone ever pre order from them?

Did you get the phone on release day?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dukester619:
I ordered my wife's Epic from them for $149.99 ($100 less then the Sprint stores launch price) and was very happy with the customer service and fast delivery time. Although as someone above stated they did try to push accessories and insurance on me, no big deal, I just turned them down.

I ordered my EVO 3D from them about two weeks ago for $149.99 with no shipping or tax (of which Sprint charges the full retail price of the phone for), so that was a huge savings. I was concerned about shipping times but after a recent call to them I was told it would be shipped on the release date of the 24th, and I should have it in 2 business days.

I will let you know how it went after I get my phone, but right now I feel pretty comfortable buying from Wirefly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Don't know if anyone saw, but the "HTC Store" is taking pre-orders too.

http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=39065

I just noticed it today. I was hoping to find accessories, but stumbled upon this instead.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
So this is what I found out about wirefly. They were great. Great service. But one thing. I was robbed of my shipping fee.

How you say?

I paid 7.99 for 2day buisness. A couple different reps told me the phone should arrive friday.

It will not be here till Monday. Fedex is taking its sweet time.

It makes no since to pay that damn 2buisness day if you know damn well you wont make release.

I mean unless wirefly had it to me on friday. they should have told me it would make no difference with how they ship and saved me the 7.99.

Yes 179 is nice for the phone. But you add 8 bucks and 188. Or 199 and have it friday.

So in my view if you are intrested in which way to go. Just go to sprint. Or a walk in dealer.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrsvictoriarich:
For future reference of course.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chuckenfoot:
I currently use SPB as my launcher but some other launchers have features I want....the main reason I use SPB is because of their folders. Is there a way to use SPB folders with another launcher somehow?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] treUse:
Try simi folders, you can customize them the way you want, and if my memory serves me right, they're of the same stule as SPB.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chuckenfoot:
They aren't even close....I've tried every folder option out there...the spb folders, for me, are the absolute best....I guess there is no way to extract them to install then separately...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chuckenfoot:
I really can't believe the lack of good folder options...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] treUse:
I guess you're right, and while I somewhat agree with you, why aren't the stock folders sufficient? Just curious.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Greg Tolan:
Try "folder organizer". Much better than simi or the spb folders.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chuckenfoot:
I tried folder organizer....I don't know that its better or worse...it just doesn't do what I want how I want it. My question still stands, is there any way to extract spb folders to use with a different rom?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deejaylobo:
What do SPB folders do that makes them so special?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] treUse:
Not that I know, sorry.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
Eye candy probably.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chuckenfoot:
No...not eye candy. Its hard to describe really but you can make the folder bigger than a 1x1 if you want and make certain icons in the folder clickable without opening the folder. There are 3 different size options. I use a lot of folders and these options really are handy.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
Those options are built into the SPB framework and they are more then just normal folders, they act like some kind of widget. This is a SPB explusive feature and you won't find anything like it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deejaylobo:
Circle Launcher is pretty...and nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dinc2010:
Im sooooooo excited! I have been waiting for the extra $ since the TF was talked about and was finally able to get it today at Toys R Us!

Its charging now so don't want to play with it till its fully charged.

Question is:

What do you recommend I do the first few hours after is being charged? Any particular applications I should try? Should I root right away? If so what Rom should I install? What defects should I be aware of/check?

Any other suggestions will be appreciated ;-)

I know its a silly post, but I kinda got overwhelmed/intimidated the first 10mimutes after I turned it on!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
You would be wise to never root until you are SURE that you have a good unit.

Check the speaker balance.

Go into a dark room and put on a total black jpeg and this will allow you to look for major light bleeding or white "blobs" in the middle of the screen.

Update to the newest Honeycomb ( 3.1 UNROOTED FOR NOW )

The play with it for a few days. If you are happy

THEN AND ONLY THEN

should you root and heap the full benefits of the Asus Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
1. Look for dust under screen, light bleed (particularly on corners and the lower left) and dead or stuck pixels. Make sure you ramp up brightness to the max before checking.

2. You might also want to note sound quality (is one speaker louder than another) and overall volume before applying any updates.

3. Now go and check if there are any updates using the Check for Updates option in the Settings.

4. Afterwards, check sound again. Note any changes to overall volume and balance.

5. If by this point you've hit none of the issues so far, I guess someone else will have to help you as to what you should do next. I haven't gotten this far since I had to send mine in to get it butchered within the same week I got it.

If however you find any of the issues above, cry and keep it to yourself or bring it to TRU and hope they do an exchange. Some fanatics on here will tell you QC issues don't exist and you're part of a conspiracy to pressure Asus into adopting better QC. :rolleyes:

Toodles! :p

Labs?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
There are certainly issues with every product out there, including the Transfomer, but I think sometimes they get overblown a bit. Like the light bleed, mine has just a little, but is it enough to bother me? Nope. In fact, from what I can tell almost all IPS screens suffer from some amount of it (look at the iPad 2), it's just the way it is. Mine has been awesome, and I haven't had any major issues, maybe I just took more time out to "smell the roses" ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Google Labs-

http://www.googlelabs.com/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
I can accept light bleed if it was about a 2-3mm line of gray on a black background on the edges of the screen but in my case the band was inches, not mm. That's not overblowing it, that's reality. I don't overblow things, I call it as it is. Inches of gray screen on a black background is bull****! It kills the image quality and ruins dark movies.

If you haven't had that you wouldn't understand and of course the people who do have massive light bleeding look like crazies to the people who don't who think they're seeing the same thing we're seeing. I assure you it's different. How do I know? I have a friends unit to use as reference and the level of bleeding on his pales in comparison to mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Relax there amigo, nothing personal was met by that, and it's just a device, no need to get so worked up about it :) I'm sorry yours is so horrible, mine isn't, I hope you can find one that you like soon. Surely I can't be the only one who is enjoying mine though :)
