[T-Mobile LG G2x] whmcal:
All this talk about reboots with gs2 - not doubting, but NEVER had em... I guess some 3rd party apps might be contributing ...or could it be faulty batch of phones?

I think choice of phone is heavily down to personal taste. Phones r phones - just that. I had 3 htc phones before buying sg2. Bought sg2 because of the reviews, specs n as it was a breath of fresh air from my Rainman-like htc run. I agree htc hardly fails when it comes to quality BUT, imho, both sensation and gs2 are outstanding in their unique ways.

Anyway, one thing's for sure, in 12 months time, who's gonna care :-D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Probably more than just one bad batch. It's more like who's gonna care in 3 months. Haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
So once a phone is rooted its no longer worthless?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I agree. If it can't be rooted and customized then forget it. What the hell good is Android if you can't do what you want? Everyone knows Android needs attention and love from the community to get the most out of the hardware.

My Nexus One was 1000x better then when I first bought it running CM7 and the latest version of Android.

Most of the bugs were fixed in XDA. I couldn't stand having a phone or computer that couldn't tinker with and make better. Screw sitting on your hands with a buggy phone while you wait on the manufacture.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Bugs get fixed faster here in xda then the manufacturer does

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
+1,000,000,000 lol ... XDA community is better than any company's official support in my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Xda will have an issue fixed in one week or less. Companies will bring it up at a board meeting and discuss it for a month then decide which ones are worth fixing, 6 months later a release is pushed ota, bricking your phone or making it worse, therefore needing an exchange which will net you a refurbished pile of crap that will not work longer than a month.

So yea, even xda makes a pile of **** like the G2x an awesome device

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yeah I would've never bought this phone if it hadn't been for the support I already knew I'd receive xda.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Yea. I was lurking on this section for about 2 weeks before buying it.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Again, nobody makes IPS panels for LG, besides LG. LG is the largest manufacturer of IPS panels (panasonic is just entering the market for HDTV, to replace the shrinking Plasma line)

AUO can subcontract for anyone, but not IPS, they don't make IPS. The make MVA at best, and tons of TN. AUO is not making a single IPS screen for any phone...get over it.

When you buy a LG with an IPS screen its going to be LG. When you buy an HTC its like a Vizio, they subcontract with all sort of vendors. The Sensation uses a Sharp and an AUO screen.

The G2x is available from any number of sources, regardless if the website is out of stock or not. Most phones are sold locally, by far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Don't forget about the Sony displays in the Sensation. Confirmed yesterday.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
A few years ago I dated a TMobile dev. I met her for lunch one day in Bellevue Washington...their headquarters....I had an HD2 at the time. She had something, that was not released yet. We started talking phones...and she was so proud of her phone, and the apps she was part of. She pointed at my HD2 and said ..how do you like...such and such. I don't remember the app name now. I said, no idea...I removed it. She was shocked....she said why????? So I told her about bloatware and its impact on the performance of a device. She was unconvinced.

The next day she called and asked to meet for lunch again. I agreed. With her she brought a couple of people...some PM's for the HTC account. One guy was introduced as the person who signs off on the phones, when HTC hands them over. With them they carried the stock HD2's. We started talking and comparing phones. I showed them the performance of the phone without the bloatware...the ROM I was running simply had the bloatware removed...nothing else.

They were shocked. Of course they did not believe me. But they made notes...played with my phone the entire time, asked to borrow it....which I replied...only if you offer me a replacement phone to use during the time you have yours. They declined. But a few times throughout the years, I've heard from those PM's....I'm sure they recognize there were issues. Their placement of apps appears to have gotten better....but not totally.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Lol@Killa (how did you come up with such a creative name?) Did you mean ridiculous?

Like you know crap about the failure rate of the G2x. Go ahead and provide the numbers big guy. I have no idea why people feel the need to spout off when they have no clue to what they are talking about and are incapable of backing up their silly talk. HTC is a nice manufacture but their phones are buggy as hell also. The sensation on top of all its other problems has gone cheap on a bunch of the screens. Luck of the draw if you get a POS or a good one. Sound familiar?

So can all the Sensation fanboys go to the actual Sensation forum? You have a lot of work to make the Sensation a good phone. Better get to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
So how do you tell if you are getting the crap version or the good one before you buy? Or do you keep swapping ala the G2x and hope the HTC gods smile on you and you get a decent screen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You don't know if your getting a ****ty screen just like you don't know how much backlight bleed your going to get with the G2X. I returned 3 G2X's to get one with minimal bleeding and would do the same if I got one of the Sensation displays I don't like. Of the two most popular displays on the Sensation (Sharp and AUO), some people prefer one over the other. It just depends on you eyes I suppose. The AUO display has better contrast and vibrant colors (almost like a AMOLED) and doesn't suffer from the wash out when viewed from a angle. One of the downfalls of the AUO display is that it's letters aren't as crisp as the Sharps. So far, I have and other people have confirmed two different looking Sharp displays. The first Sharp display washed out at the slightest angle and didn't have good contrast but the second Sharp display I received was probably one of the best displays I have ever seen in person. It has the vibrant colors of the AUO with better contrast while still keeping the crisp looking text. My wife has a Sharp display as well but mine is the better one. I posted pictures of them over in the Sensation forums and it's quite obvious the whites are whiter, blacks blacker and it doesn't wash out at slight angles. It also performs better in direct sunlight than anything else I've used.

In the end, everyone is going to have a different opinion as to what displays looks better and each one has advantages over the other.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
The amount of returns needed to get the screen you like on the Sensation would probable be equal to the people who want zero screen bleed standing in a closet looking at a totally black screen on a G2x.

Call quality and reception, Screen Quality (IPS, S-TN, Amoled) , Speed of OS, are all very important to me. I very much enjoy the colors, and off angles of the G2x. Especially if its off to the side playing a video whilst working on my computer.

I hate the panel lottery when it was with Dell Monitors, and when it is HDTVs and now Phones. Dell was really bad because they put out a IPS, got all the reviews in, then switched to a PVA, that on Paper had better or equal specs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I know what you mean about the panel lottery. I used to be a Sony fan when it came to my TV's but I had to return two Sony LCD panels due to them not looking like what they should. One of them actually turned green when viewed from a slight angle. I switched to Samsung when it comes to my TV's. I have 5 of them (3 LCD's and 2 LED's) in my house right now (22in LCD in Kitchen, 32in LED in bedroom, 40in LCD in Living room, 37 in LCD in den and a 55in 3D LED in the basement) and I haven't had to return one of them due to picture quality. Lately, it seems like all of Samsung's displays from phones to TV's have been very consistent with good quality. To tell you the truth, I will probably never by a different brand TV ever again. Now, don't even get me started on Samsung Blu Ray players. I have had nothing but bad luck with them. I have went back to Sony for those.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Thanks for the good summary of the situation. I think I mentioned to you last week about the poor quality of the demo in my local store. I intended to walk out with one, but was so disappointed in the screen. I will take another look. I was hopeful a certain manufacture date would have a certain screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
Sensation sounds a lot like my Mytouch 4G. Wow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Go check out a different store. The same location probably has the same Sensation on demo. I think the Sensations that were shipped early on had the ****ty displays.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:

Edit == wrong forum. Sorry
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:
hi im not a noob to android had loads of phone but i am to sense. i dont like htc's sense for some reason such as the pagnated app drawer i want a continous ''fling'' if you get me, but anytime i change launcher i cant us the PERSONILIZE settings in the setting or htc widgets.. so my question is , is there anyway to get just a app drawer without a complete launcher or have a launcher that will allow the personilize setting to work :) thanks
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:
not that i'm aware of, until rooted and roms can be pieced together. but some of the launchers are very impressive (like launcher pro myself) instead of a dedicated customize button you'l rarely use you can choose your buttons and hit menu to customize. btw, not a good idea to give out your email address to everyone in the world
[HTC Sensation] Cymruan:
Hi,

i've been looking around and haven't seen any confirmation of when the voda exclusive is meant to come to an end. But I have found that three.co.uk are now selling the Sensation on their 'The one plan'.

I've ordered one, and it is due to be delivered saturday. Also once I found it, I found that if your on quidco you can get £130 cashback for taking a smartphone out on 3 on the one plan.

Managed to get it for £37 a month for 2 year contract with stpuid amount of minutes and text, and proper unlimited internet, even tethering etc. and in theory they should have signal where i am :) coming from gingerbread HD2 on virgin, it will be nice to have signal at home again.

if your not on quidco join here http://www.quidco.com/user/1040444/

Has anyone found a solution to the download loops? I'm sick of them now as I cannot use any purchased apps..

I purchase apps from the store and they get stuck in a download loop.

There has to be a solution for this. I've tried clearing the cache etc for the market, download and gmail AND have rebooted and cleared the dalvik cache etc to find nothing works...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
Sometimes cancel the download then hit install again..this wor for me...let it alone then..for big ones I do this and leave it alone..for smaller files as soon as I hit install..it already downloaded just did not install for some reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] v0kal:
Happens to me often. If it gets hung up hit the back button and go to my apps in market go to the bottom of your apps on the left where it shows apps waiting to install and click on it. accept the permissions and install works every time for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Evostance:
Not for me. I've tried clearing all the cache's, even booting into CWM and clearing the cache and dalvik.

Still nothing..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
If you click install and nothing happens, power the tablet off (hold in the power button til the menu pops up, then select to power off). When you restart and go back into market, the app will install correctly.

*Don't* cancel and try again. While this will usually, eventually work, it will also often result in apps not appearing in the My Apps list, or appearing as uninstalled when they're already installed.

If the powering off trick doesn't work, you've probably already upset market to the point where it is corrupted by doing repeat installs. I had the exact same problem myself, and after wiping my tablet and starting from scratch, all is fine with the powering off method. I still get ~50% of my app installs doing nothing initially, but 100% (20-ish apps) have then correctly installed after a power cycle.

All this said, it is a really, *really* annoying bug that I hope Google fixes soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Evostance:
Didn't work. However I upgraded to Prime 1.5 and all my problems went away
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
I notice that the pressing the home button while in an app works differently for different apps

For example in Google Maps, when I press the home button, it exits the program

However in the default browser, when I press the home button, it goes to the home screen but the app doesn't exit (it's still visible as running in the task manager)

How do I close the Browser? there's no option to exit it either :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Press back button until you get to home screen. That's how you exit most of the applications. If you press the home button, most of the apps will keep running in the background.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
This applies to the browser as well?

Wow if I opened up 5 windows, I have to back all the way til the browser closes! :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Yes, it applies to browser as well. You can close tabs before pressing back if you don't wanna press the button too many times :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
Or use dolphin browser which you can exit with only 2 clicks..press menu and select exit..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kannan.Balasubramanian:
Another way of closing browser in 2 steps can be, open a new window and hit back button.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanefox:
Or just hold home button > task manager > exit app you want
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XpLoDWilD:
Why would you exit it anyway ? Android is made so that you don't need to actually exit your apps. Especially Browser.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
Do you mean to say that when I go back to the home screen, the browser cuts off data usage automatically?

(Sorry, coming from Symbian, I'm a total Android noob! :p)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XpLoDWilD:
Browser is put into "idle" mode, so while the app is still kept in memory for quick resume, it doesn't use any CPU power or data.

If your device needs RAM, Android OS will automatically shut down the app to release some memory.

Check out this post for some more details.

[Verizon Droid Charge] el_brio:
I pre-ordered the otterbox defender. Looks a bit bulky and won't be out for a month or so. I want a holster type holder but it needs to protect the top edge of the phone. (I learned this lesson with my blackberry holster... if any part of the edge is uncovered, you will inevitably drop the phone on that edge). The official samsung holster has the top edge exposed. The edge plastic on the top of the Charge is super delicate. I really want something that will cover it and my screen while in my pocket.

Any other options?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
I don't think other than the shell/holster combo at verizon that leaves the top and bottom edges exposed there are any other cases of the such available. I'm using a basic silicone case until the defender releases. I dinged the battery cover within a week of having it due to a harness I wear at work on power equipment

[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Hello everyone!

I've got a quick and simple question for you: what themes do you want?

Name a theme you like, and I'll let you know if I can port it. If I can, I'll get in contact with the developer to get permission, then it'll end up here as a Clockwork-flashable .zip file.

Easy, simple, painless.

And, as a special thanks to anyone who donated previously, send me a PM if you've got any theme requests or special changes and I'll see if I can make it happen!
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I don't know about theming, because I've always used a custom launcher and kind of dig the dialer they gave us on the Revo (it looks like the one on Go Launcher), and the power buttons in the taskbar being stock is kind of cool too.

But I kind of always liked the circle battery taskbar theme along with the ability to throw the percentage in there. I think the former is an actual theme part, and the latter is part of CM?

edit: and as far as donations are concerned, after all you've done for this community, and the time you spent on this device, that you don't even own, you don't owe me anything (I and this community technically owe you) ;) I'll make requests from time to time, but don't feel that you have to meet them. Just suggestions.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I used to use NexTheme on my droid but any theme that has black (or dark background) with white (light) fonts will do. I just think that contacts, email, messaging, etc should have the same color scheme as the rest of the phone interfaces/apps (i.e.: settings, alarm clock, calculator, etc.)

Why do I keep going Verizon? Axing their unlimited plan, highest rates of any carrier, and inferior phones compared to lower end competitors.......

If you already have their unlimited 4g plan then you arent going to lose it. You are grandfathered and to change your plan would be to break your contract. Same things happened to me with other aspects of the plan. I pay 5 bucks a month for 1000 texts to anyone not verizon and unlimited texts to other verizon, I have had this plan sine 2004 and they obviously stopped it back then. I just havent edited my text package and therefore still have the same plan. Same concept different part of their service.
