Nothing I appreciate more than honesty.

If the folks in the TMO call center are discouraged about owning this phone that's a big red flag.

As you well know having to get 3 or 4 replacements for an electronic device is very abnormal. Red flag #2.

The rumored update better come quickly and resolve many of these issues, or I'll be bailing. Real shame. It's a good phone when it works, which for too many people isn't often enough.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Take everything elvis says with a grain of salt. I spoke with a T-mo support guy who is a sensation owner and has had zero problems. He hasn't even had any calls regarding problems but he has heard of some of the sense issues. These forums would be flooded if it was trash. The Tmo forums would be flooded if the failure rate was that high. We are phone whores here. We notice stuff many users never do. I can't imagine the failures being as widespread as we believe they are without a huge customer backlash via twitter, facebook, reviewers, etc.

That said, Sense 3 is a buggy piece of **** and I'm tempted to never buy a htc device again over this.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I realize full well there's a very skewed view here, and the percent of complaints is bound to exceed the overall population. Plus there's a lot of egocentrism, if my phone is perfect then all's well, and if I've had 3 bad ones then they're all bad. I've posted several times we have no real idea what the failure rate is. But there are some patterns that aren't encouraging. I'll see how my 2nd phone turns out and decide if I want to try a 3rd if it goes south.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I've just had it myself. I was going to go for a third but to hell with it. I can't even change a ringtone and get back to the home screen without Sense having to reload. I realize my N1 is a senior citizen now but it flies compared the Sensation. Of all the time I've spent on my phone at least half of it has been reconfiguring it, troubleshooting or on the phone talking to T-mo about replacement. I realize many of us are power users but damn man I don't believe I'd be having this issue with an iPhone or SGS2. Maybe I'm wrong.

This goes back tomorrow. HTC just lost a customer.
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
i think tmobile is just really slow with their updates...

im mean look how long it took them to get froyo on the mytouch 3g. they confirmed it like a year before they started rolling it out.....
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Some things that need to be considered, but I think that they rarely are on XDA:

(All of the points below are my personal points of view, please don't flame me :D)

XDA is a very unfair and biased sampling of cell phone purchasing T-mobile customers. People on XDA tend to know more about their phones, and therefore expect more from their phones. I think that most of the complaints that people are having stem from unrealistic expectations for a phone. Having said that, I admit that there are some issues that people will have with phones, but these issues are nowhere near the majority. That brings me to my second point...

If people are going through 3 or 4 phones and still having issues, then the question has be asked if they are going through the T-mobile defective handset exchange program.

If they are, it's possible that they are getting a refurbished handset that was sent in for a repair by another customer for an issue such as dropping signal, bad screen, dust under screen, etc. I can understand how a handset can pass HTC quality control with any of these issues, as HTC QC is probably not going to be nearly as picky as a finicky XDA user. The passed phone then gets sent out as a warranty replacement to another customer, who then thinks they got a brand new phone that has issues. A situation like this will definitely skew the number of defective handsets that we hear about on XDA.

If, however, most of the people on this forum are returning their handsets within their buyer's remorse period, and getting a brand new one in the box that is defective, then I will concede that there is a serious problem.

I don't work for HTC, nor do I work for T-mobile, but from personal and professional experience, I do know something about how technology companies operate and deal with issues. The above points are just some things to think about when complaining (and reading complaints) about how crappy the Sensation is and how EVERYONE is getting a device with a problem, or how even 1/3 of the devices are defective and with issues.

Having said all that, my first thought when I read the poll in this thread was that there should be another option: "There aren't really that many SEVERE problems with the Sensation that would require an update to be pushed out to every single owner, and I think that's a good thing."
[HTC Sensation] alodar1:
There is something basically wrong, with ANY phone, where you can write "My first and second phones". This is appearing in so many forums now....the requirement for a replacement. In 15+ years of mobile phones, I've had 1 replacement. yesterday I ordered a replacement for my sensation. Reading here and over on the G2x forums, replacing phones is like a past time... or merit badge. My Gtx did not require a replacement. My sensation does.

The companies putting out phones now a days....pitiful...just ain't right.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Too many models pushed out much too fast. These devices are way to complex to be rushed and expect them to not have flaws. The market pressures and potential rewards (3 million SGS2 phones sold in 55 days, before it's even been released in the US) are so great the development and QA schedules are being compromised. We are suffering the consequences.
[HTC Sensation] :
Would appreciate if you don't come in my thread and start with the negativity about " grains of salt"...I speak from MY perspective and never do I watch your threads just to come in them and say rude things to you.

If my group of call center friends and fellow employees think it's bad then that's my small group and does not represent the whole call center or employees as a whole by any means.

Now I extend my hand in a truce and ask that this "Elvis bashing" stops now. If so I thank you in advance as you can see I never try to be rude.
[HTC Sensation] :
Post of the day. I tilt my hat to you on this post. Exactly. We are a small percentage of people. So we don't count in the big picture of non-educated end users out there who dont know what is wrong or even what Sense 3.0 is. So I agree with you totally.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Dude relax. I wasn't rude at all. I actually have defended you recently. I'm not saying you're a liar. I just suggested that your remarks may need some extra consideration. I mentioned that since you sometimes make assertions about technology and events that are either highly subjective, incorrect or lack evidence. I'm not saying you are a person of low character. If you were to adjust how you present information to others on here you might find that information questioned less.

Nobody is bashing you and if they are- it's the interw3bs - to hell with them.
[HTC Sensation] wideasleep1:
'Tis a good idea to take EVERYTHING said on the interwebs with a grain of salt...including anything I say, as well! :p Elvis, just grow a pair, accept that negativity will occasionally happen on online fora, and keep at it! :)
[HTC Sensation] fuzzy075:
My Sensation has been great, working 99.9% of the time. The only quirk with the phone is the occational Sense Force Close message.
[HTC Sensation] :
Good to hear. I am glad to hear that.

I'm sorry you are having issues with your device also. Wish I could help you but we're in the same boat...However if there is anything I can advise you on as far as where I work to prevent you from leaving I am more than willing to assist you.

and to that other guy..I got a long pair buddy. PAUSE lol
[HTC Sensation] byrdman164:
Just an update...my second sensation started acting up with the touch screen issue. Today it started acting normal again. I got to use it last night for the fireworks and whatnot taking pictures and videos, and it only failed to respond once. Which isn't bad considering there's been times where it just ignored me all together.
[HTC Sensation] ntrujillo:
Yea I freaking luv my new awesome Sensation! Only issue I had was for some reason certain spots on the screen get super hot and caused the screen colors to sort of bleed and now I have permanent black lines on the screen but TMO is sending me a new one. It was killing my battery too! But overall I am absolutely in love with this phone and can't wait for my replacement!

I've tried reflashing cwm using Odin, but I get the same errors. I have a feeling cwm isn't the issue. Did I do something wrong when flashing the MIUI rom?

Any help is appreciated!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
There are several posts in the MIUI thread that explain how to get to the proper CWM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weblexa:
Thanks, I searched but didn't find anything. I'll check again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
You have to access the CWM either through terminal (su <enter> reboot recovery) or from adb,
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weblexa:
Thanks! That worked.

Sorry for asking something that was probably already answered many times, but I've looked and looked and couldn't find anything that worked.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aPiso:
I'm sorry if somebody already posted that, i swear I had a look :P

I have a SIM unlocked AT&T MB860 Atrix with gingerblur 4.5, and I would like to try some real gingerbread goods, which means bootloader unlock and 2.3.4 HKTW.

Do I have to flash back to 1.8.3 stock sbf before actually unlocking and installing gingerbread? I heard people saying is not safe to flash sbf for SIM-Unlocked Atrix because it can cause Wi-Fi problems, is it still the case?

Second problem: I had my phone rooted, but now I don't have an external micro SD card, so I wouldn't be able to root with gingerbreak-similar methods, is this a deal breaker or there is another way to complete the process all the way through?

Thanks a lot :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
As a general rule, it's best to flash back to stock before flashing anything else. Because Gingerblur requires Tenfar's recovery to run, I believe this will be the best way to do this. If someone else could chime in about the SIM-unlock/wifi issue, that would be great.

As for the rooting method on 2.3.4 HKTW, it works by installing a ZIP through recovery. In my own experience, it only seems to read external SD cards. If you can make it read the internal somehow, then you should be able to root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
i was on GingerBlur 3.1 (rooted via GladRoot), and did the following over the weekend

- flashed the unlocker SBF (still on 1.8.3)

- flashed the new CWM onto the phone via fastboot

- flashed GingerBlur 4.5 using that CWM, just for a few days

- flashed the 2.3.4 IMG using the Windows x64 guide in the general forum.

ran into no problems, and the GB build was already rooted when it booted up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
Good to know, thanks!

Did you clear data or anything like that after flashing?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
oh, right, forgot. i did do the fastboot -w beforehand.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
i have simunlocked atrix as well, it makes no difference.

I went from Greyblur straight to GB with no issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aPiso:
Thanks guys :)

This is worth a try
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwann:
If I wanted to return to the stock ROM after flashing 2.3.4, all I have to do is RSDLite flash 1.8.3 back correct and then restore using CWM?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
I just did this tonight, and for some reason, I had some problems flashing the 1.8.3 SBF directly. So I downloaded the 1.2.6 (shipping) firmware and just did the updates.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DrCharlieM:
I'm happy with CM7 on the NC but the Nook Market app is a huge step backwards - it seems designed to frustrate tablet users. In addition to the tiny, unresponsive buttons, the online dictionary is useless when you don't have wifi. Strangely, the iphone Nook app is far more intuitive. This Android design manages to cancel out half the reason to own the thing. I know others have had the same complaints.

So here's the question. Has anyone been able to resurrect the stock Nook ereader software (along with its dictionary) and make it work on CM7? I don't want to go back to a simple rooted Nook or boot from an sd card. To be honest, if I didn't want working bluetooth so badly, I wouldn't have bothered jumping to CM7.

Apologies if this has come up elsewhere - it didn't appear in my search.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NCKevo:
I second this; I would love to see an actual usable android nook app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dustrho:
I was just about to post the same thing here, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the NOOK app for Android sucks. It's so bad that I would consider buying all my books through either Amazon or the store that Aldiko uses, because those apps are far superior. Everything about the NOOK app is bad, especially when you try highlighting words/phrases and you can't highlight exactly what you want (it jumps around). I want to support B&N because I love the original NOOK and NOOK Color, but their app is so poorly made.

If the NOOK app doesn't satisfy people here, which app/service have you gone with as a replacement?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] darien87:
I actually like the Nook app WAY better than the Kindle app. The Kindle app doesn't do the page flip animation that the Nook one does and it keeps your spot by position numbers not page numbers. Sorry, I would rather see I was on page 22 than position 715.

I do like the native Nook software better than the app though.

What is everyone's thoughts about Google Books? I think it's pretty cool that it syncs your last read page in their "cloud," so it'll be at that spot either on your NC, your phone, or their website. The Android app itself has gotten bad reviews, but I kind of like it. Haven't purchased any books through it yet, but it looks promising.

Still not a big fan of the NOOK app.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fcjr77:
I am okay with the app if I could just get the magazines to work. I can see the books, but I primarily like to view the magazines. Is anyone else having this issue? If I could get this fixed I would just stay running the CM7 off the sd card to not void my warranty. If not I might just install on EMMC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] darien87:
I looked at Maxim real quick when B&N came out with the update that had magazines working. Worked fine for me. What problem are you having?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fcjr77:
When I try to download a magazine it tells me that the file type is not supported. I have tried it with different magazines and I get the same error.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] stolenmoment:
Which file type is it?

Is this a magazine bought from B&N? I'm subscribed to both Asimov's and Analog and they work great.

BTW, using an overclock kernel really helps the Nook app speed.

I finally blew away stock and installed to emmc after a few days running OC, makes things tolerable, but I really wish it would resume what I was reading when I open it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fcjr77:
It says it on most of the magazines, like Men's Fitness and GQ. I can run them off the stock but not off the app. I finally installed CM7 on the emmc and tried it then, but still not working. I tried moving it to the SD card to see if that may help, but nope.
[HTC Sensation] SykesAT:
When you first open the sense gallery app, you see album folders with a thumbnail on top. For me this is always the oldest pic or vid. It would be much better if it always showed the newest. Also when you open a folder the items are listed from oldest (at the top) to newest (at the bottom).

Both of these just seem backwards to me. Is there a way to change it so that the album thumbnail shows the last pic taken and when opening the album you start with the newest pics at the top?

L2TP VPN connects fine from Galaxy Tab 10.1 with built-in Settings>Wireless & networks>VPN Settings. I can RDP by IP and hit my router's config page in the browser by IP, however no DNS resolution is occurring. using adb, "getprop net.dns1" reports 192.168.1.1 which is correct (my router's ip) but no domain names are loading in browser. Same VPN connection on iPhone works across the board and resolves names. What's the deal with DNS and Android's VPN implementation? The only difference in settings is the iPhone's "Send All Traffic" checkbox.

The design is to blame for the wifi issue. IMO the G2x rebooting problem is less severe than this. I use wifi 90% of the time and ive had 3 units which all had this issue.

The others that dont, I dont know how you got lucky, or if you got a bad ass N router and thats the trick, but I cant take it. I cant even play a online FPS game in my room without losing signal. Anyone want to prove me wrong in that there are a few good ones? and if so please post a video?

Death grip here also. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

However, there is one good thing. HTC can release a cover with a design that won't have the issue (they won't, but I hope there will be some 3rd party ones)

[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
"Deathgrip"? WTF is that. the iPhone disgusts me, thanks for this.. now it's running rampant all over the internet even when it doesn't make sense.

There is obviously a problem with the WiFi signal strength and yes it's a design/hardware issue. Exchanging the phone won't fix the problem.

I solved it by moving up a WiFi router in my room that repeats the WiFi signal from my main router. I had the secondary router already running DD-WRT software which is required for this type of thing.

yeah. i have been with mine for 2 weeks and since about just a couple of hours ago the wifi wont work. it was working fine all day then i was going to check fb and it said that there was no connection. it clearly had full signal. i restarted the phone and worked well. then later i was going to access the camera app directly from the lock screen and it froze, it wont do anything. pulled the battery and turned on the phone. after turning on the phone i turned on the wifi and it will not connect. it detects the signals and tells you all the info about it but it wont connect. it stays in a loop saying obtaining ip address, disconnected and scanning and then goes back again to obtaining ip address and so on. i have done 2 hard resets and restarted the router and nothing.btw the router is in the same room just a couple of feet from me.

EDIT : i think i jump the gun too fast. tested my ps3 thru the wireless network and it connects like 50% of the time. again the ps3 is in the same room as the router. went to my cousins house and the phone conected to the wireless effortless on the first try. i dont know if it is the phone or the router.i dont know what to think anymore.:confused:
