[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Using Sensation for 2 weeks now.

Below are few annoying things that i want to get rid off.

1) Loudspeaker volume for calls is very low. I cant use it. (For music, its passable though)

2) Contacts scroll - usually when i scroll on the right side, the contacts scroll based on alphabets. it does not work anymore.

3) Photo of Contacts appears blurry in the call screen no matter how good of a photo you assign to a contact.

4) The incoming call number font is so small. This is pathetic. I expect it bigger and catchy because thats what i will be looking for in a incoming call screen.

5) The overall lag (with 1.2 ghz dual core and 756MB Ram, i was expecting the touch and scroll experience close to iphone.. but its not.. its same old sense + android experience.. this will never change???)

6) the app drawer bounce effect when it reaches the end is choppy.. the bouncing effect in overall is choppy.. it simply don't work.

7) no unicode support for complex languages, this is a deal breaker for me - (iphone do this best. my language is 'tamil')

8) e-mails in html format is not showing up in 'overview mode'. Its always zoomed out. I am not sure if there is an option. Compare a HTML e-mail in iphone and sensation, you will see what i am talking about.

9) the people widget in sense does not make a call when i click it, instead, it takes me to that person contact details. This is even after i assign a default action. Sometime it works and sometimes its not. very inconsistent.

10) Need to disable a lot of 'syncs' to maintain battery drain.. its like 'there is a feature but i cant use it'..

things i don't care about but still issues...

1) wifi death grip - i dont grip the phone in that way

2) touch screen issues - i actually dont have one

3) no HDMI out

4) lot of apps are not really qhd.. its like watching SD content on a HD tv..

but i still like the phone and waiting for root....
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
there are already a ton of threads on this.... was starting another one necessary? :confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
My contacts scroll by alphabet? You need to scroll down a little until you see the grey bar and then grab it with your finger.
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
If you have solution for any of these issues, please provide. Otherwise, ignore this thread..
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Thanks pal. I just tried and worked. Looks like i need to scroll a little and catch the bar..
[HTC Sensation] trill12:
All things that will be fixed once S-OFF is obtained and newer builds start releasing.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
No problem, also there is HDMI out. You have to buy the micro usb -> hdmi dongle. Or you could do DLNA if your tv/bluray is capable.

If you go to call settings or sound settings there's a setting for hearing aides that you can enable to make your speakers a bit louder.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
For me 5 and 6 are real problems. And I care about death grip and it's really annoying to me :mad:

[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
The blurry contact photos and small font of incoming numbers are a bit annoying. I'll learn to live with them I guess.

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Thanks again pal. I heard about the dongle but it would have been nice if the phone itself has HDMI out considering it shoots 1080P videos. How nice it will be to just connect the phone to the TV and watch the videos you shoot.. but anyways, i will buy the dongle.. its worth it..

i tried the hearing aid, it improved the in call volume but not thru the loud speaker. Its still the same..

thanks for the suggestions...
[HTC Sensation] xsardax:
Blurry contacts images are only due to Google Contact Sync. I do not sync contact with Google, just with MS Outlook with HTC Sync, and pictures are great and sharp.

The only REALLY BIG issue I'm havin' is problem with WiFi death grip! Damn, I don't know how to solve that.
[HTC Sensation] Xaroth:
I think this is also largely dependant on what you put on your phone... I've seen dozens of people who install every app they find even mildly interesting on the market, and as such having them sync and whatever even though they don't ever use them... have you tried removing stuff you don't use like unused widgets/apps you don't use (and are allowed to uninstall..).. this should help with that a lot.
[HTC Sensation] Castle5665:
This was annoying me as well. I went to my Gmail contacts from my laptop and put everyone from my people widget in the "starred in android" group. Reassigned a default action and all have stayed assigned since.
[HTC Sensation] xsardax:
This has nothing to do with sensation or sense, it's due to Google Contacs Sync.

I've used to have same problem while I've used to sync contacts with google, but when I've disabled it, it works like charm, and contacts have hires pictures.
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Thanks dude! i agree some and disagree some.. but it doesnt matter.. i followed some suggestions and the phone is getting better.. the root is on the way and i am now waiting for it.. thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Castle5665:
So, do you still sync your contacts with anything?
[HTC Sensation] magnum_touchpro:
honestly the phone just feels like a regular 1ghz android right now, feels like the dual core is just slow or laggy.. idk but its not as snappy as i thought it would be
[HTC Sensation] xsardax:
I sync them constantly with Microsoft Outlook on my laptop, home PC and business PC. Google Contact Sync is disabled =)
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
Question with regards to pic quality and syncing.

I have two issues. 1. In messages the pics often don't show up sometimes. Very random. is this because of of the google sync and fb (from Sense) clashing?

2. when pics show up during phone calls they are ALWAYS pixelated even though it is pulling the pic from fb (which I believe is attached to Sense). any way to make these clearer?

Thanks. in advance.
[HTC Sensation] swiftinmotion:
maybe if you posted in one of the many threads about this you can find solutions..? Im just sayin :cool:
[HTC Sensation] xsardax:
FB pics in contacs are some smaller resolution than regular pics added by you for each contact. That is normal. I have under Accounts and Sync 23 accounts that are constantly syncing. Mails every 15 mins (peak), FB, TW, LN, SKype, Viber, Tango, ... every hour. I dont care about battery, because, if I'm in a car, its plugged in charger, in office also, and at home also =) It's allways full ^^

All in one, this is great phone!
[HTC Sensation] xsardax:
I just wish that Skype is working in Portrait mode :(
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
my ONLY problem with this fone is when im listening to music (or any media for that matter), thru the speaker or headphones, and the screen is locked (off) the volume buttons on the side still adjust volume...its really annoying if im sitting on hte bus or go to take it out of my pocket and crank the volume, or turn it all the way down...

never had this issue with any of my other HTC phones (WinMo or Android), and as a result, i have to consciously NOT hit those buttons, which can get annoying, but cant do anything about it until an OTA adresses the issue, or a new kernel (or maybe OS ver.) is available to flash
[HTC Sensation] Beanerico:
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but when i plugin the phone to charge, it kind of starts to be a little unresponsive. Like when I use the keyboard (slide feature also) it picks up letters the I'm not even going over. But this is only when I'm charging it. Any suggestions?
[Legend General] pirate81:
Hi,I guess then you know then new version of Aplharev X is realesed to wide beta and HTC Wildfire is supported for s-off with hboot 1.01.0001 and 1.01.0002 so i was wondering if it may work with my rooted HTC Legend with hboot 1.01.0000???What do you think?I have no knowlage about the difference between this version but it seams promising to me.

I already tray to connect it with the Alpharev X and it recognise the device but i am scare to press the enter jet.

So let me know your opinion...thanks:D
[Legend General] bonesy:
Not sure if they will support the legend as there hasnt been any mention of it yet try to contact them and ask?
[Legend General] pirate81:
I was thinking then it is about Hboot version which is actualy supported.There is no any forum or discusion.I can not believe then people with HTC Legend and Hboot 1.01.0000 are not interested about this posibility.anyway thanks.
[Legend General] pirate81:
Well..to end this story..I conntact Alpharev and IT IS actualy about the Hboot version but my device is not supported...interesting...maybe if they give a tray and test it...it may work.i dont see why not.(i am probably wrong but...)we will see.let as hoppe so they will do that for as with S-ON HTC Legend becouse the phone is worth it....:D thanks

12:59 <@kmdm> a small one

Here's your answer. Still a small chance is better than no chance, so cross your fingers, light some candels and pray, or simply donate to these guys and lets hope they'll gonna get it working.
[Legend General] SnipeAlott:
anybody tried it yet on the legend with hboot 1.01.0000? Im a bit scared to try it, what could happen if it doesn't work?
[Legend General] bonesy:
Best donation you can give them is a damaged Legend so they can test it,like the wildfire that was donated to them with a broken digitizer
[Legend General] cyRq:
Well unfortunately/fortunately mine is still ticking :P
[Legend General] pepijn499:
I asked about this to the AlphaRevX team before, they do have a legend to work on, but due to difficult coding and mistakes at HTC's end, the chance to s-off 1.01 is very small for the legend. But atleast they do have a Legend to test on.
[Legend General] qzem:
So anyone tried the AlpharevX method?
[Legend General] smilingguy07:
What is the main benefit of turning the security off, I have the phone rooted and can run custom roms already, so what else would i be able to do with s-off?
[Legend General] maksimilian:
Edit /system in rom, not in recovery like s-on users. That very useful for rom developers and some users who want to remove system apps.
[Legend General] smilingguy07:
So for example could it be used to remove some of the stock applications like the friend stream app, or would it be easier to remove it from the rom file then flash it?
[Legend General] maksimilian:
yes, or you may do that, or you may flash rom and the load into recovery thenremove it from there using adb and your computer
[Legend General] kakarot_22:
Will HTC open the Hboot from the Legend 1.00.0000 ? (in august)

what do u think about it?

or is the legend a forgoten phone?
[Legend General] maksimilian:
I think they will open but in a year or more, maybe even with 2.3 or just some fixes to 2.2
[Legend General] Hitmax117:
I hope they open it

But in reality it's not going to happen, hboot 1.0 lays in alpharev hands (or anyone who can)
[Legend General] Hitmax117:
I just talked to the guys from the revolutionary team and this is what they said

<Hitmax> I just wanted you know if there going to support htc legend hboot 1+, i'm not asking for eta here just asking if youre going to support it. grtz
[20:42] <fifarunnerr> Hmm...I donno, but there's root for it isnt it?
[20:43] <@[COLOR="red"]hyuh[/COLOR]> Hitmax: unlikely.
[20:44] <Hitmax> yes there is, but i'm missing my s-off i had before
[20:45] <Hitmax> to bad to hear that, is the hboot on legend so f**ed up by htc then?
[20:46] <@[COLOR="Red"]hyuh[/COLOR]> Hitmax: if it's not on the list currently that mostly means it didn't pass alpha testing
[20:49] <Hitmax> is it possible it's still in alpha stage? and if not, how come hboot1+ is so difficult (you can go technical on me)?
[20:50] <@[COLOR="red"]hyuh[/COLOR]> Hitmax: 1. No ; 2. off topic here
[20:52] <Hitmax> thanks anyway, now i know for sure s-off hboot 1+ isn't going to come ;)
[20:53] <fifarunnerr> Hitmax: Don't say never, there's always a little chance
[20:55] <Hitmax> if it's not going to come from this team (alpharev and revolution), chances are really low tho

bad news tho..
[Legend General] homi3kh:
no s-off for hboot 1.0+ peroid :( just like the name of our phone it's just a legend now:D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaine07:
Hey Folks,

I was wondering if with Handcent SMS it is possible to have group conversations. I know that you can select more than one contact to receive a particular message but is their anyway for it to host conversations. With BB(I know a shame to compare) I had an application and if I sent a text to say 5 people, all 5 people seen each others replys as the phone forwarded one persons reply to everyone else and added their name. Is their anyway to get Handcent to do this? To host like a chat, if you will. It was super handy on BB being able to text 5 people, and all 5 of us carry on a conversation.

If this is something Handcent can not do, is their any other good application recommendations?

Thank you very much,

Blaine
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang302LX:
They claim to support group sms but like you said when people reply it goes into their own individual thread from my experience. Damn shame they can't get it working properly like on BB and iPhone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaine07:
Well as dissapointing as it is thank you for confirming it wasn't just my ignorance. Such a shame though. Have you found any alternative applications that can do it?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang302LX:
Actually I just gave up and said forget it to group sms for now. I emailed handcent but never got a reply.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaine07:
That's just not cool. It would really be handy for me. Weird Handcent never replied.

OT: What year car do you have? Foxbody?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
Handcent has a group sms plugin on the market. Never had a need personally but it may be what you're looking for
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaine07:
I've downloaded tthe plugin & well...I still haven't figured out exactly what it does lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
after searching "handcent group sms" on the market, multiple packages showed up, so far I count 9 plugins for group SMS. I'm gonna screw with it a bit. You may need to have everybody you're texting in the group running on the same SMS client... I'll see what I can figure out with it
[General Questions and Answers] sheherezade:
I started downloading the update after the LG phone support tool notified me that there was an update available.

About a third of the way into the update, a popup emerged saying that there was a problem with the connection between the computer and the phone, and to disconnect the cable, remove and insert the battery, power up the phone and hit restart to try to update again. The second attempt ended just like the first. When I tried for the third time the program asked for the phone's imei and serial number, ran a "check" of some sort, and after that I was notified that updating was no longer possble due to a fatal error. When I now try to run the update program it just says that the phone has the latest software already.

Meanwhile my phone is stuck on the "S/W upgrade. Please wait while upgrading" screen. Any advice?

A little birdie said netflix should get a few 3D movies that can be watched on 3D tvs and glasses free devices....no time frame though.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Am I the only one noticing problems with this phone? I'm already on my fifth brand new Inc2 in a month. Faulty speakers, loose and falling apart charging ports, vibration device not working, and now the light up home buttons on the bottom have bright white circles around them clearly visible through the black cover.

Am I expecting too much from these phones or is the quality just going to ****?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AngelsPunishment:
My speaker is quiet and I hate it. My charging port isn't loose but the housing around it is. My vibration is fine. And only my search key has the white circle.

Its going to ****.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
My battery cover clicks a little bit, but it doesn't bother me much. Other than that its a great phone IMO.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
Yup I have all that and more. I try to look past it all until the Incredible 3 comes out. I think Verizon likes killing phones by turning them global *cough* Droid 2 *cough* or maybe HTC suck at making a sequel for a phone. Then again this phone was meant to be incredible s not 2 that was Verizon's fault. Honesty I played with the Evo3D and it made this phone look like yesterday's garbage. This phone is 3 steps forward and two steps back from the original. Oh btw WTF why does our front facing camera suck more than a year old Evo I noticed this comparing my friends Evo while checking out the Evo3D

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
And by the way, the CLNR phones they're sending out are brand new not refurbs
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nachobass25:
Damn dude, I must have gotten lucky. I'm still on my first DInc2 and its holding up better than any phone before it. feels solid, only a slight slight rattle in the usb port thats barely noticeable, and i have no such white circles around my capacitive buttons. I love this phone!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Speaker works fine.

Charging/USB port is slightly out of spec, but is not loose and works fine.

Vibrator is smooth, works fine.

Backlight on softkeys is a little wonky, but nothing annoying.

As I mentioned in another thread where you mention all these things, you somehow keep ending up with the short end of the stick. Most of these problems you have are not common. I've seen people that go through replacements a lot because of legit problems but they are pretty rare. I've seen it happen on all devices I've owned, and I still have my original first purchase devices in my desk drawer (I should really get rid of them).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigslam123:
Mine works perfectly, is built solid and is the best phone I have owned to date. I cant think of one thing that I would want to complain about, in regards to the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Damn, you guys are lucky. I just keep getting the shaft when it comes to quality control.

I was very happy with the last Inc1 AMOLED refurb I got. Perfect. Then that stupid ass gingerbread radio had to go and kill it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
I'd also like to mention I'm not crazy or just coming up with ****. I love this phone and just want it working correctly like everyone else's Inc2 around me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Loudspeaker on back ain't great but not bad either. Vibrate isn't as strong as I'd like it to be but that was true for my Eris too.

I couldn't be happier with my phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
I'm on my second DINC2. The first one had a really annoying buzz on calls in the earpiece speaker. When I was at the store getting my replacement, I immediately noticed a difference in the vibrate feedback. The new one was a LOT stronger.

I probably would have never noticed the circles around the buttons. Mine only has the circles around the search and back button. I guess that it doesn't really bother me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I believe you. As I mentioned, I knew someone that went through something like 6 or 7 Dares before getting one that worked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
My Dare was my favorite phone before moving to Android. No replacements on that one.

Yeah the white circles are prominent and around the search and back buttons.

And honestly I wouldn't care about the white circles because the speakers and vibrate work but I have the opportunity to get a brand new Inc2 with potentially none of these problems. This might be my only chance before settling down with this phone for two years.

The vibrate was VERY strong on my last Inc2. So strong that it started to shake itself loose and rattle.
