I think you could make the Moto Cliq sound amazing. You just made me so excited to have this phone.

What a phone.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
remember dude, new phones come out every 2+ Months.. And every 6 Months to a year the technology in the phone will increase and become the norm.

Best phone of all time still is handed to the iPhone 3gs

Best android phone of all time is still the Nexus One

Best Graphics phone is the Sensation

Best Power of the CPU is the Sensation

Fastest Phone: Thunderbolt

Best Gaming Phone : Tied Sony Xperia Play / G2x
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Nice try, HTC Sales Deparment. :p
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
hey, I'm really open to commission if anyone is offering :)
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
looks like a 1980s list :)

Sony xperia play -come on - no review says that ....
[HTC Sensation] BBOOZE:
I would definitely own the Sensation over the iPhone 4, any day of the week. It's not even close. To me, that's a significant statement to make given how the iPhone has pretty much dominated.
[HTC Sensation] omnianick:
Hey,

I've just come from having an iPhone 4(had it a year, and got bored), and this is my first Android phone. I must say i am happy with the phone, but the best phone ever? Not yet.

The iPhone has a great Retina screen and its build quality is great. But you have to jailbreak it to get some basic features, like bluetooth, customising themes, tethering etc.

The Sensation is great out of the box, not a snappy as i anticipated i think due to sense. But i has everything i need as stock.

Sound is a bit low, and crackly sometimes. But i am impressed.

Cant wait to root it and unlock the real speed of the phone

nick
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Yeah like the other dude said, this list looks... off a bit.

Sensation is beautiful but the best graphics?

3Gs the best phone ever? Really?

Nexus One, the best android phone ever? Maybe only to the dev community.

Fastest - Should read fastest data speeds, then yes I would agree with that one. In terms of overall responsiveness, then no.

Gaming phone - could be any Galaxy S1 (Power VRSGX540 is still a beast), GS2, or any tegra2 device out there. The Xperia play has an Adreno 205 GPU which makes it decent at best, physical controls and all. But it lines up with the rest of Sony's product lines - They make a lot of good stuff, just never the best.
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
Your lucky i didnt mention the N-Gague
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
I feel the same way but..... give iPhone 4.3" screen and T-mo bands and we'll talk again. I don't like apple, SJ or their nazi ways but there's something fascinating about having a device that just. works. out. of. the. box. Mind you, this is coming from Android follower since day 1 (Got G1 on the day of the release). I'm sick of rooting phones just to make them work and I thought that Sensation will be the phone I can live with. I mean it does sound great on paper but in real life - software on it is big heaping pile of ****. I truly believe that HTC is getting too comfy being one the biggest names in Android game and they are cutting corners left and right. Guess what - it shows.

Can't wait for S-off and CM.
[HTC Sensation] brianbrain:
Couldn't agree more! This phone has made, by far, the best first impression (and continued) of any new device I've purchased in years.

I'm not sure why the 3GS was brought up here - I went from the 3G to the 3GS and really didn't feel it was worth it (it was a free upgrade through work, so what the heck). The original iPhone can get a mention, but I wouldn't give any of the subsequent models anything special.
[HTC Sensation] DSF:
I was a htc fan for a long period of time. Now i'm cured..

OP: go to youtube and watch some comparison videos between sensation and galaxy s2.

How can you claim that? Damn, some people just cannot accept the reality.

How much free usable ram do you got? Can you play full hd videos with flash?

Strange...
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
the galaxy s 2 is faster but perhaps new htc software will make it up

however the margin is not worth it compared to the terrible build or Fischer price os
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
That's a d*ck move you pulled there. Go back under the bridge from which you came. The OP didn't once claim that this phone was better than the GS2. He was merely stating that he's in love with his phone. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone already knows that the GS2 is superior performance wise. Now go back to your Samsung forums and leave us be.
[HTC Sensation] DSF:
Then what's this?

Smart reply what can I say..

@colonel, well sgs2 feels solid in hand. No cranks, etc.

I'm posting here just because I don't like when the true is distorted. I could easily chose the sensation but for me the sgs2 wins (raw performance, ram, storage, etc).

Have a nice day.
[HTC Sensation] brianbrain:
Before you come out here looking like a complete *ahem* ...wait, too late... I was ABOUT to say that you should probably take into consideration that at this point in time this IS the best phone ever available in the United States. For any of us living here, it's a no brainer. As far as the rest of the world - can't people be allowed to enjoy anything anymore?
[HTC Sensation] BBOOZE:
I agree about how nice it is that the iPhone works out of the box but I have to say I was able to get up and running in no time on my new Sensation just by entering my gmail account info...boom everything was there.

As for Sense I never liked/used Sense before but IF I got stuck with it on the Sensation I wouldn't be ready to kill myself. Frankly I think CM ROMs are waaaay overrated...so they are faster, great, but half the time stuff like GPS don't work. That said I will root this baby the second I get the chance.
[HTC Sensation] (•.•):
......NOT !!!

ps: ok, maybe the best htc phone of all time.
[HTC Sensation] topkop:
GS2 is definitely more powerful at the moment. But after software update, hopefully the Sensation will show big improvement. I mean Sense 3.0 runs very smoothly on EVO 3d, so there's no reason why Sensation couldn't.

Sound and camera quality on HTC, however, need to be a lot better. Samsung have this, as well as sheer power and speed covered. But of course, HTC have an upper hand in the aesthetics of the phone, both hardware and software.

While I long for GS2's unstoppable power, I really cannot stand its big, non-matchingly-colorful, unpolished interface (I don't mind the plastic build). Same with the Sensation - unbelievably beautiful look of the device and UI, but things like dust under screen, dim screen (compared to EVO 3d), whispering speaker volume and average camera quality turn me off quite a bit.

So, I'm gonna stick to my good, old blackberry and wait until HTC or Samsung

address their weakness.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Pff, you told us. High five, large font dude!
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
This is definitely one of the best phones I have ever used. And as far as the Galaxy S 2, Touchwiz ruins the entire phone for me. So I don't even consider it.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL funniest thing I've read today :D a blackberry user bashing an Android device ? LOL
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Lol, I missed that one. I'd rather use smoke signals and a carrier pigeon than go back to a blackberry. For all of the leaps and bounds they've made they're just barely giving the G1 competition. Welcome to 2008 RIM.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
LOL, thats hilarious :D
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
I'm with everyone who feels like this ,samsung gs2 is an ugly device for starters ,they really need to get over the iPhone look at Samsung,that's why Apple is about to sue them ,and a crappy OS is not worth the .2 seconds that the galaxy is faster than the sensation,ill stick with this beauty and reap the rewards later ,I'm sure the galaxy will have a pile of its own issues
[HTC Sensation] nextonline:
Before actually getting the sensation, I was looking at 3 phones: iPhone 4, SGS2 and Sensation (duh). I don't regret a single bit that I bought the Sensation. The only few draw backs I found so far would be, no landscape on the home screen, some games crash (but who cares, I have xbox 360 for actual games) andthe phone can get slow on occasion (I'm guessing it's sense's fault, but I'm sure S-OFF will fix that). Other than that, size, materials used, screen, camera, battery life, sound are just amazing!
[HTC Sensation] pixel-painter:
Not a hater, in fact I love my sensation... Only irritating thing is the placement of the volume rocker in combination with buttons, especially the power off button. Because the screen is so sensitive, I find myself opening apps and things by barely brushing over the screen when I want to unlock it. If I try to rotate the view or put the phone down somewhere, I often start an app by mistake.

However on the flip side... I am super impressed by the hydrophobic nature of the screen and how easy it is to wipe of smears and prints.

[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
The best phone of all time......is the G1.
[HTC Sensation] :
Best phone ever???

Helio Ocean 2!! j/k :p

*runs and hides from oncoming flames* lmao
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I just wanted to post in this thread to say I'm LOLing at some people in here who consider a phone that runs touchwiz to be the best phone ever.
[HTC Sensation] topkop:
Why is that funny? I'm on this board because I think Android is awesome and I'm waiting to make a switch. But just because I'm using a phone inferior to yours doesn't mean that I have to blindly praise Android devices and rush out to buy phones that I know I'm not gonna be perfectly happy with.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Best device I've ever had.... I would take this in a heartbeat over my ladies Iphone 4 or any other Android device that wasn't at least 4.3" WITH the qhd resolution.

I don't think I could go down in screen size ever again....or res for that matter.

ALL devices have MAJOR issues for some people. For me...this display is tops and I absolutely love the eye candy of Sense 3.0... People talk about speed, but for the love of gawd....unless your a freak of nature, this device is PLENTY fast.

Oh and also.... 1080p @ 30fps in STEREO....I'll take that over higher "benchmark" scores ANY DAY :p

Love it! :D
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Very true.... I go to wipe it down every so often and realize....I don't have too.

I've never used a screen protector on this...not sure why anyone would with GG. Especially since it's probably the most gorgeous piece of glass to ever cover a phone... with the curved edges and all.

Gorilla really does stay incredibly clean and unless you have horrible luck or are incredibly hard on your phone....Gorilla aint gonna scratch.

No better way to ruin a phones sexiness, than with a crappy piece of plastic over the top of a beautiful sheet of GG.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Dude I was once a Blackberry user :D I can personally guarantee that you would be happy with ANY android device with at least a 600mhz processor over any Blackberry..... seriously LOL an old G1/MT3G is better than a Blackberry Torch :D There is no way that you are "perfectly happy" with your blackberry....I have phones in my top drawer collecting dust that are better than any Blackberry on the market....:cool:

That phone was awesome but the Nexus One was EPIC
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
Thats your opinion not a fact, my sister switched from a torch to a andriod phone and hates it...everyones different, stop acting like what you like is a fact
[HTC Sensation] johnsonrod27:
As for my opinion the phones great minus a few flaws,

1. The antenna atenuation problems are a big issue

2. Batt is ok, a bit bigger would be nice

3. Few software bugs
[HTC Sensation] jeremy480:
I'm still on the fence whether or not I want to keep my Sensation or trade it in for a Galaxy S2. For me the main benefits of the Galaxy S2 are the battery life and Super AMOLED plus screen (love those deep blacks and wide viewing angles). I just wish the build quality was more refined like HTC.

I don't really care much for sense or touchwiz, I'd rather have a pure Android phone. Perhaps I should just hold out for the possibility of a new Google Nexus phone...
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
Agreed. Besides, after the Galaxy S, Samsung and "BEST" don't belong in the same sentence.
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
quit multiple posting!

the LG2x is completely out of the race, just look at the problems in the forum

The benchmarks for core cpu are meaningless due to sense3D

no screen bleed here!
[HTC Sensation] :
No, ram and battery life let it down.

I'm liking the phone, but battery in this thing is a joke from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
I'm finding the battery life the same as the Desire S, ChaCha and Wildfire.

A bit longer then the Desire and the HD

I am resigned to the fact that i have to recharge a smartphone every night, unless I am not using it much, in which case I get two days at least.

For general rules, applying to all Android phones:

1. Remember to set all syncs to manual. This includes: HTC Sense, Google, emails and other things, e.g. facebook

2. Turn off GPS on position finding until you need it

3. Don't use active wall papers.

4. In areas of bad signal better to switch to 2G and "permanent data connection" off
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
The G2X is most certainly out of the race - literally! T-Mobile seems to have taking it off the shelves until LG resolves all the issues.
[HTC Sensation] :
But doesn't that take away the point in owning a smartphone? My battery is draining 4% an hour without use. Soon as I start to use the phone the battery just melts away. I must have a problem in my battery stats or a defect battery.
[HTC Sensation] iunlock:
This post and some of the replies....unreal....had me cracking up.

Sensation is nowhere near a throne holder.

Overall the fastest and best android device to date is the samsung galaxy s 2.
[HTC Sensation] BBOOZE:
Every smartphone is like that. I've had every iPhone and if you used the device at all during the day you were charging it every single night. I've seen zero difference between the battery life of various smartphones I've had. It seems like manufacturers set these things to last one day and that's it.

The only "smartphone" that consistently has a great battery is Blackberry but look at what you get for it.
[HTC Sensation] :
I dunno my iPhone 4 is great for battery life, last me over a day.

I've turned off gmail sync, facebook sync and HTC HUB. Hopefully its one of these which is draining my battery. Like I said, I'm hardly using it. I have Juice defender and a task killer installed.
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
no

you just have to charge every day

this is a problem with all smartphones
[HTC Sensation] colonel:
fastest, yes

best, no

why troll ?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL what's wrong with charging your phone every night? :confused: seems like the purpose of a mobile device is to be usable when you are on the go? when you are home presumably at night charge the phone :confused: guess I'm just weird. When I'm at home I charge the phone, when I'm in the car I charge my phone, when I'm at work the phone sits on my desk on a charging dock...:D
[HTC Sensation] nucentury08:
O so because some people have bleed means now the g2x stops being dual core right noobs smh
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Why thank you. I think the samsung guys are regretting their purchases and are wandering into our neck of the woods. I loved my SGS1, but man did that phone have major flaws. Wondering if the SGS2 is also cursed. It looks like it was made to conquer benchmarks, and made for benchmark junkies.

"ZOMG your phone thuckth becuth my phone getth a bathillion in quadrant. PWNED in your fathe!"

Sorry for the excessive use of "TH". I assume that all bench junkies have a bad lisp and are lonely.

The only thing I wish the sensation had was a SAMOLED+ QHD screen. I can live with everything else. I don't 100% agree with the OP about this being the best 3vAr, but I do think it's a great device and is up there with the G2X and GS2 no matter what the other guys think.
[HTC Sensation] topkop:
Well, maybe "perfectly happy" might be an exaggeration but seriously, my 9700 functions fine as a phone (phone only). It doesn't do much, of course, but it does simple things very well.

If it looked like I was bashing android, I'm sorry. I've been waiting to switch to Android for so, so, so long and I really thought that the Sensation will be "it" (Nexus One came close). So I guess I'm just frustrated and disappointed it has so many problems. Hopefully, most problems will go away in a couple months, so I can finally own something more exciting than a Blackberry :D
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
The issues mentioned are overrated. I haven't had any issues and I'm sure there are more people happy than unhappy with this device so come join the Android family :D
[HTC Sensation] Ayocuz:
Soon as we're able to root this boy, this is going to be a phone to be reckoned with
[HTC Sensation] RoosterX:
I honestly believe the Sensation to be one of the best phones of all times, although i must admit there are things i am not a 100% satisfied with(mostly camera), but the rest of the phone makes up for just that!

It's really a loveable phone. :)
[Thunderbolt General] sweetleaf1351:
hi, i have a thunderbolt and the batterylife sucks. any suggestions for a rom and kernal for the best batterylife? thanks
[Thunderbolt General] Rearless:
IMHO there are no black and white answers to this. It depends on how you use your device - more for voice/text or more for data, where you are in relation to the towers and how often you are moving between 4G and 3G.

The one bit I will attest to through experience is that the Gingerbread Sense ROMs chewed through battery a lot more than the Froyo ROMs. (Except Cyanogen Mod 7 but there are radio issues with that. Ones I have learned to tolorate as it is my DD.)
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Regardless of rom, you will get max battery with imoseyon's kernel, battsaver mode, 1ghz max + whatever min your phone can handle. Froyo roms get marginally better battery than GB roms. I have not tried cm7 but I have read more than one person suggest it gets less than Froyo or GB.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
Froyo 1.66 Stock (plainjanev3 I think is the rooted version). Guaranteed best battery life among the whole bunch. with moderate use, you can go a full day.
[Thunderbolt General] kpj313:
Never had any problems with any of the BAMF ROMs
[Thunderbolt General] jmin9012:
I am going to build a solar powered charger. All supplies bought from Radioshack for around $30. This way, I can carry a charger with me anywhere I go. ;)

However, I am running gingertheory, and battery life has been pretty good. Can go all day at work and lose about 60% with heavy use.
[Thunderbolt General] ilovesoad:
I'm going to second this one, The gingersense roms total kill my battery, but cm7 sips it slower than any other rom in my experience. It's totally functional for me, with the exception that I can't receive vcards in MMS, and the MMS issues are well known. It's my longest running DD currently.

I received the 10.1 tab from amazon and installed the xda app (free version) from the market. The system is in original retail version, no root, recovery flash whatsoever.

However whenever i click the post from inside XDa app, the app crashes..

I also noticed most of the post here were from "GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App" , wondering is this just an isolated event on my side, or actually premium App works perfectly in 10.1?

thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.

I figured out what is the problem and modified the XDA app, now it is working fine.

The problem is the tablet return getDeviceId() as NULL and the XDA app need this ID as part of password.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/22/motorola-xooms-in-android-3-1-update-that-activates-microsd-card/

You know that microSD card slot that's been laying dormant in your Motorola Xoom? Provided you don't reside in the US, that'll be getting activated soon as part of the tablet's Android 3.1 update, which is starting to roll out now and should have all of Europe covered within the next few weeks. Motorola explicitly identifies this as a firmware update for "non-US" Xooms, so Canadians would be well advised to check their software update utility, though the big question is why didn't the American 3.1 update include microSD support as well? What tangled web of intrigue lies behind this selective activation?
