[HTC Sensation] npoc:
As I said the big reason I had to return it was poor reception.

Being a t-mo customer you are not guaranteed anything over the next 2 years. AT&T is trying to acquire t-mo to repurpose some of t-mo's spectrum. What part of their owned spectrum is anyone's guess

I agree that all the firmware issues are fixable, but they are still annoyances that I shouldn't have to deal with. I don't know how long it will take for HTC to unlock the sensation's bootloader or for someone to get root on the phone, but I had 14 days to make a decision on whether I wanted to be stuck with a 2 year contract. The speakerphone is a firmware deal-breaker for me atm, as I do have to use my phone for conference calls.

As for me my current plan is to find a recent boot-loader unlocked AT&T *cough* 4g compatible phone on craigslist, and then sign a contract on ATT or VZ when the right phone comes up.
[HTC Sensation] woldy2:
in settings, there is an option to what you want it to do...cell preferred, wi-fi preferred, or wifi only
[HTC Sensation] npoc:
You completely missed the point. Wi-fi was preferred, but it leaves the cell radio on which drains battery. Better luck next time.
[HTC Sensation] relic419:
I get pretty good service even though I live in a basement (I was barely getting any bars on Sprint and Verizon before that). However, I still use WiFi calling to maximize my battery life (and it's working), and I use a Tasker profile to automate turning on wifi, turning off cell radio when it detect the cell towers by my house and my wifi ssid.
[HTC Sensation] npoc:
Good suggestion, I will have to use that if I ever go back to T-Mo. Still, T-Mo should have made that a setting in their app.
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
I am about to return mine after 4 days of use. I love the phone and will be exchanging it for a new one.

Mine has started randomly making calls while sitting on my desk charging, The unlock ring started bouncing around the screen when I unlocked it and I had to turn off phone to get it to stop, it can charge all night long and still only show 75%, and I am dropping calls. Not what I want from a $600 device. I hope my second one is up to par. I have never had to exchange a phone with Tmobile before for these reasons.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
A few notes.

If you used WiFi calling you wouldn't have to (nor CAN you) turn off the radio. It doesn't drain the battery in WiFi calling mode, you know nothing about how it works.

I upload to Picasa no problem.

Speakerphone volume is always low, the speakerphone sucks.

AT&T support and/or customer service is horrible. If you are speaking with a regular T-Mobile rep (one that does NOT introduce themselves as Android or PDA support) for phone issues you are speaking to the WRONG representative.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
I couldn't ever see my self going back to a G1, may as well get out the bag phone again
[HTC Sensation] akkidy:
I'm coming from Sprint and switched to T-Mobile primarily because of WiFi-Calling, and secondly because of the HTC Sensation. Not a single carrier has signal inside my apartment unit. Sprint gave me an Airave which works well for about a year, but recently started giving me problem where I cannot hear the caller, but the caller can hear me most of the time. With T-Mobile's WiFi-Calling, it works all the time. The sound quality may not be the greatest, but acceptable enough that I can have a conversation using it over an hour. On a full charge, 0 bar signal, using WiFi-Calling for almost half an hour, I did not see a drop on my battery charge, not even 1%, last time I checked.

I'm sad to leave Sprint, but T-Mo's WiFi-Calling is unbeatable, specially when travelling overseas.

Dear all

I try to root my eeepad 4hr ago.

With NVFash, I can install the nvflash usb driver.

If I force to install it, I get a '!' in Device Manager.

Did others meet this issue?

I had try my Win7 desktop PC and lantop, and also a XP PC.

Could everyone tell me how to root my eeepad.

Thanks a lot!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
It seems my eeepad can not get into APX mode.

Cause I got "unknown device" when I connect eeepad with PC through USB.

After trying any methods after google,

I had no idea to solve this issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:

3c. Open Device manager, scroll down to "Other Devices" (might be named something else in xp or vista) and you should see APX something with a small exclamation mark in a yellow triangle.

3d. Right click it, select "Update Driver Software..." -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> "let me pick from list ..." -> click next -> "have disk" -> Browse -> navigate to the downloaded tf_rootkit_31 folder, open usbpcdriver folder and select "NvidiaUsb.inf" -> open, and all it to install, Ignore the unsigned error, let it install anyway.

You can get the inf from here

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N5JDHIWK

I rooted my device a few mins back and it worked for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
Thanks, I will try it right now !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I got two problems

1. ... and you should see APX -> I had no APX device, but unknown device

2. After I force install the driver, I got and usb errror code 10.

so I can't flash any thing on my eeepad.

This does not work for me !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Which OS do you use ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
Windows 7 32bits ...

Both my desktop and EeePC had same problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Are you sure you installed the Asus USB drivers from the their support site before starting this process ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I had tried it.

The PC can't recognize my eeepad,

So I can not be able to install stock ASUS USB driver.

Even official driver was still fail !!!!!!!!!!

What happend ??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
Try removing all drivers and reinstalling them. Reboot after installing drivers. I had a problem while rooting and rebooting the laptop made it go away.

May be a stupid question... Are you sure you are running Win 7 with Admin rights?

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I found a free PC.

After removing all usb devices (beside the mouse), I run a quick boot with Ubuntu 11.0.4 (newest) by CD-ROM.

Then I type 'lsusb' in cmd.

Oops! I CAN NOT get any new USB device in list.

After boot my eeepad into APX mode, seems the same.

I think I got a broken USB cab or eeepad.

SO ...

DOES any one have other way to root? I need CIFS function really ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
After trying for all day.

I quite!

Before new root tools, I can only use stock version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
I went to Asus maintain center for testing my eeepad today.

After some small trying, we confirmed that my usb cable is un-functional.

Now, I am waiting for the new cable, it is all free.

Any way, I can root my pad few days later.
[HTC EVO 3D] Curb71:
After getting the software updates installed and the phone rebooted I noticed the left lock screen shortcut which I believe was "phone" is gone. I tried to add it back but am unable to. "phone" does not show up however it does on my evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
From what I've read is that this happens after an OTA you have to do a factory reset and it is supposed to come back.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevank:
From the home screen if you hit:

Menu Button --> options --> system updates --> HTC Software Update --> Check now.

It should show some updates to install. One being an update to the HTC Lock Screen. Do the updates and reboot your phone.

That will correct this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] Curb71:
I checked for that last night and there was nothing. just checked again and there it is. an available update that specifically says lock screen. sweet!

hey, where'd the thanks button go?
[HTC EVO 3D] kilik64:
thanks kevank, i was getting SUPER pissed trying to figure that out...
[HTC EVO 3D] DeMiNe0:
So... I just accidentally discovered this AWESOME feature. On the otterbox belt clip, if you pull the actual clip out as far as it will go(opening it as if you have a REALLY thick belt), a little clip on top will latch the clip open acting as a kickstand. Works PERFECTLY for me!

[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
I got my Otterbox Defender for free. The Sprint Store Manager was trying to sell accessories. The store was having a like accessories sale or something and then when my family and I were getting our phones he came over and offered 3 BT Headsets, and 3 cases for 43 dollars.

My parents aren't the sharpest when it comes to phones so I started haggling with the guy. Swapped out the three BTs for an otterbox and a screen protector and the manager gave it to us for free.

Highlight of my day besides graduating High School lol.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya I miss a hard case and holster the leather cases are nice but don't off much protection against the daily use :D I like keepin my baby clean and shiny :D
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
The holsters I speak of were all plastic or plastic/rubber with belt clips. Not the cheap leather cases I hate. They had the defender, and I think the other brand was platinum or something that looked very strong and similiar to the Otterbox cases. They also had the case with the kickstand thats been posted everywhere. I think they had 1 or 2 others as well. I was actually pretty amazed at all the cases they had.

My OtterBox has always done a good job protecting the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Tinderbox (UK):
As the evo 3d is an old phone, I bought the otterbox defender for under £3 delivered but it adds too much bulk and weight, so i ordered the otterbox commuter under £3 again and it is much lighter the phone weighs 200g now, not certain what it weighed with the defender, I also got a 10 pack of screen protectors for £1.25 as i am crap at putting them on, or i just hate it when i get dust underneath, but i manged 1st time and it looks great, nice an slick to the touch.

[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
i recocmend u try a dual boot its actually really easy if u follow the instructions.

i installed ubu about 3weeks ago and i love it because u can customize it to no end and it really dosnt have that many bugs.

i installed inside of windows and did a 20gig partition so its defiantly not my daily, but its still fun to mess around with.

and if you need help with the installation feel free to pm me.
[General Questions and Answers] naturist:
You can try the live image, to test if it suits your purpose. Also, you can use virtual machine to install ubuntu with Windows to test it.
[General Questions and Answers] ApplesRevenge:
Id reccomend the liveCD or as mentioned running in a virtual machine if your pc can handle it.

This will allow you to explore Ubuntu without any major bugs or chances of wiping your hard drive

Personally i prefer Windows for a development environment, but Ubuntu has its advantages.

man the geek radar just went off the charts with that one lmao.
[General Questions and Answers] bstevens23:

[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
it is what it is, its a love hate relationship with me i love the open source like android but i hate how it looks.

i would definitely recommend running it in virtual machine to try it first before you do any hdd partitions.

if you like mac youll probably like linux since mac is pretty much linux on steroids lol.
[General Questions and Answers] Mayazcherquoi:
LinuxMint is based off of Ubuntu, but, is much more user-friendly for beginner Linux users (comes will all codecs and what not pre-installed, saves having to play around with the Package Manager, etc).

With Linux, there are several different desktop environments. KDE, is the Windows look-a-like, so, choose a KDE version if you prefer and are used to the Windows layout.

I suggest to the OP to go to http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php and download the DVD edition. Burn it to a blank DVD disc, put it into the computer and restart, and start trialling Linux from there (yes, it's that simple). To get the best of both worlds, dual boot (we can help you with that if you're having difficulty :)).

It's entirely up to you though. There are advantages and there are disadvantages for choosing one over another. But, there is a learning curve to Linux. It isn't like Windows and you'll just be asking yourself for a recipe for disaster if you just go straight in and expect it to be the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
man i almost crapped myself the first time i installed ubu i did it without anyones help and the first time i did it i did what u said and restarted with the dvd then hit escape for options then somehow crashed my system it seriously took 2hrs for my computer to restore its self after that one but thankfully it did. once it fully booted again i just popped the dvd into the tray and ran wubi installer on my desktop and i was done in about 5min i was seriously punching myself on that one lol.

also if u dont have any blank dvds laying around im pretty sure you can use daemon tools to mount the iso if your installing inside windows like i did.
[General Questions and Answers] Turducken:
If you have to ask then I suggest Windows 7 (if you have sufficient hardware). If you're interested in getting to know Linux then Ubuntu, Mint or any other variation of Ubuntu would be best. Granted there are better distros out there but they require a fair bit of knowledge.

Someone suggested Arch to a noob!?! Why not Slackware?? :D

I'm running Lubuntu on an old machine only because XP is too heavy for it. Bottom line as a Desktop I still like Windows (let the hazing begin...)

just out of curiosity has anyone got tethering to work on ubu 11.0.4 because for me itll recognize the ssid but will never connect to it usb tether works fine though.
[General Questions and Answers] etp:
Hi, everyone has his/her own taste of OSs (and any other things :) ), so I suggest you should answer by yourself.

In my oppinion, there no bug in Ubuntu. One difficult thing when using Ubuntu is: it cannot run our Windows software (for instance: MS Office, IDM, WinRar, etc)

You can try Ubuntu by use Live CD (download from ubuntu.com) or install it in dual mode. This way you can use Ubuntu w/u effecting your Win 7.

Enjoy.

I have the tmobile contact backup turned off & set to not sync. Every time I look at my phone though it is shown in the notification bar as "Checking Status". Does this happen to anyone else? I don't want this damn program running at all!
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Mine doesn't seem to be running. i went into manage apps, cleared the data and turned off sync. I still check it every now and again to make sure it's not syncing behind my back. I don't trust it because for the first few days it seemed undeterred when I'd tried to stop it.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I'll try that
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Also I would advise you to delete your tmobile contacts form your phone, and just store and sue the google contacts, so that you can be sure if the Tmobile contacts syn has reenabled itself after you disabled it.

I can't wait for Root so we can get rid of this stuff!
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I don't want to sync my contacts with google simple because it'll add any email address that you email. I use Outlook to handle them. I did clear the contact backup data & haven't seen anything happen since then
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
For some reason when I got the phone it added all my contacts about 5 times each... I had to delete everything from the phone itself, then resync with tmobile back up because of all the crazy linking of phone numbers. I don't even store contacts on my phone anymore I purely use the tmobile backup list and facebook contacts.
[Atrix 4G General] madnav:
The proper lcd density seems to be 270 for this build.

download 'LCDDensity for Root' by Elviss Kustans from market and set density to 270dpi.

solved the weird positioning of shortcuts and widgets on stock launcher :)

alternatively you can edit the build.prop

I chose this method to quickly find the proper number ;)

NOTE: The Change in density is required for the stock launcher of 2.3.4 HKTW rom. The device is otherwise crisp at default with other launchers.. So do not bother incase you dont want to use stock launcher. :)
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
I'm still trying to decide between 270 and 275.

Build.prop says 275 is correct for qHD screens, but 270 fits a little better.
[Atrix 4G General] madnav:
content on the right edge goes out of the screen

add some 4x1 size widget so that you can compare the space left on both edges.. 270 looked perfect
[Atrix 4G General] aver2one:
IMO 260 is ALMOST perfect

Wow that is really good news! I always wanted to make everything a bit bigger as I thought the icons always looked a tad too small on the qHD resolution. That alone makes it worth upgrading!:D
[Atrix 4G General] Nottach:
Off topic but if you use the stock launcher simply for the new app drawer then this tip may help.

It is possible to use the new MotoBlur app drawer with any launcher. Simply replace the new launchers app drawer with a shortcut to 'all apps' app group.

Dear ladies and gentlemen :)

I need a little help in A2SD +.

I had formatted my SD card with the rom manager one month ago.

512 MB, 0 MB swap, everything works fine.

SD-Ext, created with rom managers would have to be a ext3, right?

Today I flashed AmonRa ([RECOVERY]RMD Recovery v1.0 (Based on AmonRA 2.2.1).

There is also an opition to convert/format to ext3 and 4.

What is the difference between 2, 3 and 4?

And can I use ext3 or 4 at all with my MIUI 1.4.17?

I think MIUI is using the Darktremor scipt right?

As you can see I have some knowledge gaps in A2SD + :rolleyes:

Thank you for your help and have a great weekend
