[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecooce:
With the screen being about 70 -75% of the battery drain, and the radio's (3g/4g/wifi) being about 10% (this is true for most people that use the phone, not idle) OCing maybe accounts for 2% on light use (not playing games movies) and maybe 5-7% when maxing out the cpu or using performance settings; So in short I wouldn't worry about it, and those percentages for battery drain I gave for the OCing are on the high side, actual #'s are lower for 95% of users that OC ;) I'm serious when I say that, so don't worry about OCing draining your battery...

Yeah, so far I can't notice a difference, I was just curious, thanks for the input.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtbencomo:
The high capacity battery I bought died at about the same rate and time of day as the stock battery? Am I alone or is there some sort of noticeable difference? I only ask cuz someone mentioned a hi cap battery
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Some of the hi-cap batteries bought off Ebay come off a non-reliable production line. I bought one and it works pretty well, but others just have crappy batteries. YMMV and not all batteries are created equally.

Also, charge to full and wipe battery stats in CWM. Give it a couple days and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
It can be worse than that, quite often the claim is just an outright lie. A good example is a battery that claims to hold twice the capacity, while retaining the same size, for 20 bucks... the reality is likely that it's a worse battery than the stock with a false sticker appended to it.

If you don't need a larger back door for your high capacity battery, then it's probably not what it claims to be. Likewise, the legit high capacity batteries still are generally not as good as claimed.

I don't personally overclock, but it obviously can put strain on the battery more-so than normal. But if you're not overclock gaming non-stop, it's likely negligible. More to the point though, if you can safely underclock your phone when the screen is off, then you can save battery!

:D
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
As the title says, I can't decide whether I should keep my 1 week old sensation or return it and hope the Hercules comes out by the end of Septemer. In case anyone missed it, the Hercules is the dual-core version of the AT&T Infuge 4g. Here's the spec:

4.5-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus display

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

NFC support

Category 24 HSDPA (42Mbps) and Category 6 HSUPA (5.76Mbps) for extremely fast HSPA+ support — faster than any HSPA+ phone currently sold in the US

AWS plus 850 / 1900MHz compatibility for support on AT&T’s “4G” network if the merger succeeds

16GB internal ROM, 1GB internal RAM, external microSD up to 32GB

Qualcomm 1.2GHz dual-core APQ8060 application processor

8 megapixel primary camera with flash and 1080p video capture, secondary front-facing camera

What do you guys think? :D
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I think you'll be forever playing the waiting game :D I do it too, don't worry...
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I'll just sell my sensation when that comes out. And get it if it looks nice.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
LOL ;)

I mean, seriously, this is the only thing holding me back from keeping my Sensation. I love the interface and all, but it has its disappointments: poor battery life, very low speaker sound, washed out display from angle, low ram. I am sure that the Hercules would be better in all aspects than the Sensation in those areas, judging by the Infuse 4g and Galaxy S2 reviews so far. I just love the form factor and display on the Hercules. Did I mention the ram!
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
+1 If you wait, by then they will be talking about the other phone just over the horizon. Almost played the waiting game when it came to my tablet. Getting the xoom, then selling it.. deciding to wait for the transformer, then thinking maybe waiting until the galaxy tab, if I had waited.. I'd still be waiting.. :-P
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
So true with any technology now adays.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Yeah I think the best way to go now days is to buy an sell...That way you get everything you want! Especially since it is so easy to sell things online through various means.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Honestly battery life is going to be an issue with all dual core phones. My g2x had bad life as well (even after it got better) My mt4g had decent battery life. The phone tech is moving faster than the battery tech. I think battery life will continue to be an issue with any dual core phone until battery technology advances and is available to the Gen public

As far as ram, The G2x has 512 which concerned me coming from a MT4G that had 768 as well. I noticed NO difference performance wise.. Was my available ram lower? sure.. on my G2x I would only have 70-95 mb free, with my mt4g sometimes I had 250-300mb free, Dont really check on my sensation as often as my other devices though. Android is great at handling it's own memory. Someone once said, if you have 200-300 mb of free ram on a phone at ALL TIMES it's wasted ram and I agree. I mean yes more ram is good for opening many apps and running tasks but it even with all that going on you will still have free memory. Like I said I was REALLY worried going from the Mt4G to the g2x because of the ram but never noticed anything, no extra lag or anything like that.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Good info, I mean battery is not that bad, its just that I was expecting better, coming from a non-android(HD2) un-optimized device to the latest state of the art Sensation. But a battery is battery, and tech. on that front has kinda stalled, so I dont think its Sensation's fault entirely. Once custom roms and kernels come along, it will get definitely better.

As an example of battery life, I'll let you all be the judge: 14 Hours off the charger currently, 2 hours display was on, during which I browsed XDA app, took 6 pictures, 2 minute HD video, 4 minute phone, 8 minute GPS run. Currently its at 40% . What do you think?

edit: did i mention 2 complete reboots done on purpose during this time.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
I thought dual cores actually help battery life...

my S4G hs better battery life then the old MT4G.

the Sensation has around 300mb Ram free most of the time(read from settings>app, not task manager)... so I guess it's wasted even at 768mb... lol

anyway, back on topic.

OP, you can play the waiting game or pick something and enjoy now.

the Hercules looks like a nice phone though.

good luck with your choice.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Honestly, I dont think that's TOO TOO bad. With my MT4G I would average around 16 hours a day (running cyanogen mod 7 and custom kernel overclocked)

If I get 14 hours out of a battery I'm pretty happy :) depending on how much I use it. The most I've seen from my Sensation is a little over 10 hours but that is constantly playing with it every few minuts even if it's just to turn the screen on and look at the pretty weather animation. lol

With my G2x I first got 6 hours of use!!! then it was 8, then it went up to about 10.. and after a few weeks it actually did last over 12 hours with moderate use.

Plus I leave everything on at all times, data, 4g, have gmail, 3 push emails accounts, two pop that check every hour, plus FB, twitter and weather updating data every hour

the only thing I toggle on and off is wifi when I'm out of wifi range
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
After a week with the Sensation, that right there is what makes me not want the Hercules. qHD or higher, no turning back now.
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
No qhd on a 4.5in screen. No thank you. Get the sensation, september is a long way. If I was to wait that long I would wait for the new nexus.
[HTC Sensation] whitefolks33:
sensation

I would keep the sensation hell its way better than any Samsung honestly. I say this under personal experience. HTC is always great with the build and the software on there phones and the only good thing for Samsung is the super AMOLED Plus displays.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Indeed very true. I really love the build quality of the sensation. Samsung's design is kind of bland but I guess it's internals are where it really stands out.
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:
I have had the sensation almost a week and I am almost ready to return & wait till july when the Galaxy S II comes out!! All reviews put the SGS II way ahead of the Sensation. Hell my heavily Modded MT4G will smoke my stock Sensation Hands Down and it is running sense 3.0 allready.
[HTC Sensation] hurrpancakes:
Coming from a Samsung Vibrant, the build quality of the Sensation is leaps and bounds over the Vibrant, and most Samsung phones in general. qHD is awesome as well. I don't think traditional 800x480 will look good on a 4.5 inch display.

Although I do miss that AMOLED screen, I'm loving this phone and the 4G data.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
By the time the Hercules is released the Nexus Quadcore will be announced, and many many more phones for T-Mobile. If you play the waiting game you're gonna always be playing it :) Go for what you want if it fits in with what you need.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
What's hilarious is we have NEVER announced that this phone is actually coming. It's all internet here-say over a leaked road-map. That's not even the phone in that picture..Its a photo-shopped picture of the Infuse that one of those websites put up for pre-orders...Get the Sensation bro.

Nothing is ever etched in stone with T-Mo..If I work for T-Mo and im telling you that please just believe me bro..lol...Like a previous poster said, dual-core will be obsolete almost by the time this phone drops.

Roadmaps don't insure a release as things change internally..Don't do the waiting game..Just sell your Sensation and get what you want when it comes.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Agreed. We all play the waiting game. Just 3 days after the Hercules comes out nvidia announces a quad core something or other with 2GB of memory. Looks like a great phone if you don't mind waiting a few months.
[HTC Sensation] DoogieDC:
I agree with the others - buy the Sensation, then sell it to get the Hercules. The nice thing about the ridiculous $700 retail price of the S4g is that it should have significant wholesale value left in September. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat if too.

"Instant gratification takes too long. " -- Carrie Fisher
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
I'm starting to wonder whats the point of getting phones now adays since they go obsolete so fast. Honestly, the only reason why i settled on this phone was because of the Resolution upgrade which is actually a GOOD upgrade. With all these internals getting better it seems every few weeks, its starting to be pointless in buying these phones if its going to suck a few months later. I've been waiting for this sensation and i love this phone honestly.. especially since ive been wanting a 4.3 inch display for so long. But now, its going to be 4.5, then 4.6.. etc etc. IT WILL NEVER END. Playing the waiting game is pointless to me.

Also to the above poster, i'm 18 years old and i want to work for t-mobile.. think you could PM me on how to get a job? I obviously love android so i'd be pretty useful i think in customer service of some sort for people who have problems with these devices.
[HTC Sensation] EmceeGeek:
If its something I decide to get I'll sell my phone and buy it like I do with every other phone I have. Pretty sure I won't hold my breath for it though.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Like others have said, buy now sell later is the best bet. waiting will always be waiting... Better to just run and gun. :D

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I still prefer HTC over Samsung, Sense is just way better than Touchwiz, and HTC devices have way more dev support then samsungs, check out the SGS II threads, hardly any roms in there and compare that to the DHD threads.

some big things will be coming for the sensation :P:D
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
QHD makes a difference. If the Hercules was going to jump up to that it might be up for discussion.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
The problem with the Hercules is that its Samsung, the best thing they make are TV's ,their phones feel cheap and in my opinion touchwiz sucks , sure sense makes the sensation a tad bit slower and I mean a tad ,from all the videos I've seen its really not that big of a difference, I like all that sense offers , its a little more up keep bit its worth it and once the bootloader is unlocked you'll be able to put just about any thing you may want on the sensation, 4.5 is a tad on the too big side for my taste ,the 4.3 is about perfect. My HD2 spoiled me in that reguard....good luck

i have the stock cm7 4 bar signal meter and would love to get the one on this phone

its the signal meter on the huawei ascend it shows both 3g and 1x at the same time, i read somewhere that in the build prob file you can change hd_new_doublesignal=1 to hd_new_doublesignal=0 and it makes it only show either 3g or 1x depending on what its using. could that be reversed to make it show both on the desire? but my build prob doesnt even have the hd_new_doublesignal line.

EDIT: i added ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=1 to my build.prop file rebooted and the bars are the same, so theres more to it than just adding that to the build.prop :( anyone know what i would need to do? i have my sisters ascend here to pull any file i need off of it to do it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thedayismine:
Hello, I've been searching XDA forums but I couldn't find what I'm looking for. Can someone please help me out =)

I have a HTC touch pro. I am having trouble with the.. 'touch experience' while using this phone (sorry, I don't know how to word it properly).

Pretty much, when using an iphone, or xperia x10 (or other new phones with good capacitive touch screens) the touch experience (i.e. easily 'flicking' through photos, book pages, etc, WITHOUT the phone opening an app in case I touch it while flicking) is wonderful. With the HTC 50% of the time when I try and 'flick', it simply doesn't work (because it's a resistive screen) and 50% of the time I end up opening a program or the menu pops up or something / some app opens (things I have no intention of opening). Is there a program that both increases the sensitivity of the resistive screen so that it requires less force AND ALSO, VERY IMPORTANTLY, does NOT open an app when I try to 'flick'. For example, can the program integrate a "if else" function; in order to open an app on the phone, the finger must touch the app for 0.5+ milliseconds (0.5 or more), IF ELSE flick screen in direction the finger moved.

The only program that I came across that might be what I'm looking for is “advanced_configuration_tool_v3.3" I was wondering if this program can do what I'm saying, and if it can, can someone please show me HOW to do this with this? If this is not the program that can do this, is there one that can?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thedayismine:
can someone please give me a hint to whether this question is

a) a stupid question that's been solved elsewhere.. (so I can go look for it) orr

b) there is no solution as of the moment?

[XPERIA X8 General] samf:
Hi,

Having a bit of trouble with the baseband on my rooted x8, had to update the baseband to accommodate hackdroids froyobread v0.30. I flashed the baseband in flash tool, I have a 'a' version of the x8, so I used the X8a - E15a Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976538

The issue is, my phone boots, wifi works and so does edge, however, I can't seem to get 3G. Im aware that 3g loss can occur if u flash an 'i' baseband to an 'a' phone (or visa versa), however to my knowledge I have flashed the right version. I live in Australia and am on the Vodafone AU network, any suggestions to fix this issue?

Thanks for the help
[XPERIA X8 General] skylinestan:
Are u using the one that on same post from lmppy stated on post 2?

Thanks for the quick reply,

No, im using Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6 from the first post, I downloaded the file that imppy put up however its 117mb, which leads me to believe that it's a ROM, rather than just a baseband, should I install it anyway?
