[HTC Sensation] 90teggy:
I just was curious to see what you all thought of the sense integration with android. I have had many android phones, this is my first HTC phone. Whenever I got a new android device the first thing I would do is customize everything to the way I liked it. This always started with a Google search on rooting it to get a custom rom. Mainly cause I could and I liked the differences.

I have to say that I am happy with this phone. I have been using it the way it came out of the box. I think that the sense has made the already good android system even better. Perhaps its gingerbread doing its work as well for a good experience. This phone plain and simple just works. Multi tasking is very reliable unlike most of my expierences with other android devices (COUGH...G2x...COUGH) No issues to date. The phone and the phone interface is excellent IMO. I don't even think I will root it when its able to be done. Perhaps only to have recovery option available. Thumbs up too HTC!!
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
hate it. ADW launcher FTW.
[HTC Sensation] nextonline:
I like sense, but it seems really resourse intensive, pretty sure u can achieve the same eye candy less power hungry. Still need root, to remove the crapware that came with the phone.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Sense 3.0 is a LOT better than previous versions, only other launcher worth looking at is LauncherPro IMO
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Sense suxs for me...like other launchers much better!
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I like certain aspects of Sense like the text app, contacts app and clock app but I think HTC is going in the wrong direction with its UI. They are digging further into Android and in my opinion, adding to much eye candy.

I never though I'd say it but Samsung is moving in the right direction with Touch Wiz by minimalizing the nonsense animations and adding slight improvements to Android.

I loaded ADW onto the Sensation and haven't looked back. It made this phone faster than my G2X.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
I like Sense 3.0 though I do wish they would optimize it a bit.
[HTC Sensation] Element515:
i like the way sense works. I had a galaxy s 4g for a little and i didn't like the interface as much as sense. Only thing i liked better was the better looking messaging app. The htc one looks so cheap and boring.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
I really like sense and I wouldnt buy an android device without it at this time.

I believe that sense will get better with time and with the fact that HTC in releasing the sense SDK
[HTC Sensation] v155449508:
I like sense~~~beautiful!!~

but seems that it has a big power consumption
[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
Personally, I don't like Sense. It's the biggest reason I want a custom rom on this phone. I agree with jrwingate6's comments on TouchWiz, but I'm an AOSP guy.
[HTC Sensation] boardwak:
Sense 3.0 is definitely an upgrade. With previous versions of Sense, I couldn't use them on my HD2 because of the pocket call answer / decline problem (I would always decline calls because my leg would slide up on the screen when I pulled the phone out). I like the Sense lockscreen and the widgets, however, I'm using LauncherPro Plus right now. I can't deal with the inability to resize widgets and not set the number of rows / columns on each screen. Running LauncherPro also seems to have sped up the phone considerably.
[HTC Sensation] SykesAT:
I am not a fan of sense, though I do like the lock screen, app draw and running apps in the notification. I find that the additional animations sounds and other beauty aspects really hinder the performance of the phone. I am currently using golauncher.

Can't wait for root to de-bloat and remove a good portion or all of sense.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
After never having an android phone that had sense on it, I have to say I like it. It's different sure, and it might be a little over the top, but I still like it. If you're going to have a skin on your phone i'd choose skin over any other in a heart beat. That's just my opinion though.
[HTC Sensation] leo876:
I love the aesthetics of Sense but it is too much of a resource hog and apparently very glitchy. I like what HTC did with the mail client, SMS application, weather and a few other standout features but the UX overall just doesn't seem optimized for the dual-core processors.

I also notices something today...I replaced the stock keyboard with another one I found on the market and guess what, the scrolling speed has dramatically improved! I use ADW launcher and now my app drawer and home screens scroll just as smoothly as my HD2 with Hyperdroid android 2.3. Go figure.
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
For the most part I really like sense. The weather clock, the contacts widgets, the notification tray with quick settings and running programs. The camera ap. The contact/social networking integration. Much of the skinning they do. Features like putting the phone face down to turn on the speaker phone. Adjusting call volume in/out of the pocket, when th ephone is moved, etc. All that I really like.

The sound fx for the weather I hate. I also hate they waste screen real estate with the stupid "customize screen" button. Just let me long press on the screen if I want to add an icon or change the wallpaper. I'd love to be able to use that button for something else. I much prefer the customization that I can get from a 3rd party launcher like ADW Launcher.

I just wish I could use Sense widgets on ADW Launcher and I would be happy.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I like it, but I think it's waaaaaay too much. You can see this by the lag (I have it, sadly :( )

[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
I'm missing my MIUI from my Nexus one, the 5-way lockscreen on MIUI is pretty awesome.

On principal I like Sense 3.0 as it does look good and would be great if it wasn't such a hog. I'm more a minimalist though and obviously Sense 3.0 is the complete opposite.

I have disabled just about every sense feature i could and removed all sense widgets except for the weather as that is kinda cool looking if nothing else.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I have always loved the eye candy of sense but never used it on any of my phones because I like my phone to be as snappy and fast as possible and sense always seemed to bogg the phone down. In fact, this is the longest I've gone leaving sense on a phone. Usually right out of the box I root it and install a non sense rom. I really am liking sense 3.0 I think it will be better once they get the kinks worked out of it. It still is a resource hog but my phone doesnt appear as laggy as older sense versions/phones. While I cant wait until we get root and s-off to install a non sense rom/kernel I think I will miss 3.0 a bit. I've tried using adw ex on my sensation (used it on all my phones and tablets and LOVED it) but I keep going back to the eye candy of sense 3.0 :)

This time even with s-off and rooted I might stay with a sense 3.0 rom and just overclock that ***** :D
[HTC Sensation] 90teggy:
Nice!!
[HTC Sensation] wrench115:
I'm only on my first day with it. So far it's....pretty. Going to give it a full week before I toss ADW Launcher on it. All in all I love the HTC widgets, theme changer etc... Phone just feels waaay more sluggish than it has any reason to be.
[HTC Sensation] ROM_Guest:
RE: Keeping Sense 3.0

Yep, me too i think. Never thought I'd say that.
[HTC Sensation] Brixyl:
As an utter noob to smart phones it's apparent to me that Sense 3.0 is easy to learn and graceful. It feels just right--which is no small accomplishment. It's a slick, fun design schema on a phone that has enough power to pull it off.
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
Sense has come a LONG way since I first used it. Personally, I am loving it on this phone. It dooesnt seem to affect performance as much as it did on older devices.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I'm probably the only person on earth who actually liked Sense 2.0, and wishes it came stock on this phone honestly. I think HTC tried to hard to make 3.0 better, and while doing that ruined it for me all together. To me 3.0 just looks cheesy with the carousel thing, and the cheesy full screen weather animations. I used to love the Sense 2.0 ROM's on my HD2. I always came back to them too. My second choice, and likely my first choice on this device once it's rooted, will be a nice clean 2.3 AOSP ROM. I love the ROM my wife's Vibrant has on it (Team Whiskey Bionix GB Themed 2.2), it makes me jealous!

I give Sense 2.0 a 8.5/10, I give Sense 3.0 a 4.5/10.

Please someone root this dirty little b**** already, so I can waste away hours of my life flashing ROMs again!!!!
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
I like Sense, that's why I opted for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] trill12:
Despise everything about Sense. I got this phone because of the potential when rooted.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It's visually appealing but it's such a resource hog. Plus 3.0 is very buggy in its current state.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
The best android skin imo.
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
Coming from a Nexus One, I don't like it, and would prefer to remove it when it becomes possible.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
for all you dont like sense again why did you buy it knowing it had it and dont give me the crap about how you like the phone design, if it wasnt a such thing as root and unlocking bootloaders would you have still got the phone because you like the design ,most dont even know about root and bootloaders so deal with it or get a sgs2 or sell the dam thing or wait and try to put cm7 on it wich is not that good as people think just my opion
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Lol, Ummm, ok. I'm not a fan of sense, I don't use the launcher ever. Go launcher and launcher pro for me. But this is the best version of sense rom I've seen. I'm running evil's version of it on my mt4g
[HTC Sensation] imblacklife:
I like the idea of sense not the way htc just throws it as us. It's just a lot and resource heavy. It looks visually appealing also if that counts. Htc should just throw all is widgets and stuff in the htc hub and let us download it at will.

Sent this sensational message from my sensation
[HTC Sensation] Cass67:
Yeah hated sense until I got the sensation, now I find 3.0 to be very nice and unobtrusive. I like it very much.
[HTC Sensation] SurrealNetworks:
Sense blows! The widgets are pretty but the dock is hideous. Launcher Pro resolves the launcher issue but the annoying dialer and contact handling remains. It makes the phone sluggish, I can't wait for AOSP ROMs combined with Launcher Pro.

p.s. I love the physical design of the phone and hope the amazing CM7 ROM gets ported to the Senseless Sensation. ;)
[HTC Sensation] bryanthomas007:
Sense 3.0

In spite of the fact that Sense 3.0 is a ROM hog I really love the graphics and customization.
[HTC Sensation] Triune:
Sense is okay at best. The customization isn't worth the lag in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Okay.. Pretty simple. ROOT.. problem solved. I'm sorry but you must be a noob to not realize that sense has been known of reeking havoc on battery life(and sense is just slow) on all of HTC's phones that have sense.. but it doesn't take away from outstanding hardware.. Just thought i'd lash out a little of the ridiculous comments and everyone being "disappointed" at a really good phone. I can see many updates on this phone, and once we get root it will get better. Remember the Evo? That phone was HORRID with battery life. Once developers and the community achieved root it SAVED that device.. k bye.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Well Said...Root will launch this awesome device to new heights!! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
The best thing about cm7 was stability,but GPS sucked ass ,this version of sense is pretty cool and once rooted and s-off I'm sure there will be some badass themes and speed changes for it , looking forward
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
not a big fan but its fine for now. Coming from vanilla android it feels like a step back. Its not bad looking but feels outdated and it eats too many resources that even makes launcher pro a little laggy.

However its my favorite compared to sammys or motos crap so i guess its tolerable.

Oh, and the new slide screen is great so give sense props for that.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
I'm usually a minimalist, so I wouldn't be using Sense given the choice. I wouldn't mind it so much if it was better optimized--the phone doesn't quite "feel" like a dual core phone. I've seen G2X in action and that thing FLIES where I feel like this is still a single core phone. I only went with Sensation because I have more faith in HTC and I love the physical aesthetics.
[HTC Sensation] wideasleep1:
Don't like it, at all. Using LPro, and can't wait for root.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Hey guys and gals, just seeking your thoughts on the Galaxy Tab Wifi, not looking to start a versus thread. I LOVE my Xoom but I don’t love the size, the weight isn’t an issue, I think I could go for a smaller screen size though. Still not totally convinced a tablet is for me but I think I would use it more if I could slide it in my back pocket. So here goes:

1)	I see a lot of Roms for the Galaxy tab but they seem to be geared towards certain versions; CDMA/GSM, etc. The same for Kernels, will these Roms/Kernels work with the wifi-only tab.

2)	What do you guys think about the Galaxy Tab in general? Any deal-breaking issues out there? Nothing seems to stand out from scanning the forums.

Thanks. Looking forward to your comments.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
As far as custom roms and development on the Tab goes, you're best bet is a GSM based Tab. I love my Tab (Sprint) for what I use it for. I do wish there was more options for custom roms/kernels but for my purposes (other than to keep me from flashing my phone as often) my stock rooted Tab works fantastically. The 10" tablets are just too big for my liking. Like you said, it's better when you can just slip it in your pocket and go. Not sure that the GSM or CDMA roms/kernels would work with the wifi only version, you'd probably run into the same brick issues that happen if you try and use a GSM rom on a CDMA tab and vice versa.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
As a guy that went from Asus Transformer (gave it to my mom) to a Gtab Euro GSM, it's awesome. I love the smaller size of the GTab. Like the poster above me, I would recommend you get a GSM or CDMA GTab, then hack it to be able to use it as a phone. Why? Just cause but it's up to you. If you have an unlimited data plan, then why not, right? All the ROMs are for GSM/CDMA, so I got one. No point in getting a Wifi only when there are no ROM's & Kernels for it.

Hope that helps & best of luck in your decision.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Thanks guys. That helps a lot. You're right, there are no roms for the wifi version, just searched through the development section. Think it's time to start shopping other versions... Don't want to add a second line to my plan though.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
You don't have to add a second line. Buy a Verizon GTab on Craigslist & only use wifi. I only use the phone function to show off to my friends to get a good laugh, I'm always using wifi.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
I have the refurb Sprint Tab that was on w00t a couple weeks back, and while I am a sprint user, if i want internet on my Tab, I can just tether it to my phone. Always on wifi with it otherwise. Don't see a need for a 3g data plan on it myself. If you keep your eyes open, there's deals on them all the time. For a while At&t was selling refurb Tabs for $250 and no contract, it was a month to month data service you could cancel whenever.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Cool. So I can get one for a specific carrier and I can use it as wifi only and not bother with their data plans?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveSlimer:
That's right.

Also, the carrier ones have a better processor and gpu as well.

Call Tmobile, they have an Even More Plus plan that is no contract and they give you the tab for $300 (if you sign up for a $40 plan), just cancel prior to the second month and you have a GSM tab for the Wifi price.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you are interested in chopping and changing roms then the GSM tab is the way to go... More developers and greater chance of new roms to try, CDMA has a more advanced version of Honeycomb (still Alpha though) but GSM version seems to be catching up...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure I want the galaxy tab due to its size and dev community on the GSM version. I think I'll go the pay as I go tmobile route. Time to move my beloved xoom....

How do you avoid the $200 early termination fee?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
If there is no contract, wouldn't mean there is no early termination fee?

One way to avoid it is to buy BNIB from Craigslist.org. That's where I bought my Euro T-Mobile GTab from. Anything $300 or lower is a good price.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsc:
No contract seems to be $499, at least as of today.

It was an option when I got my tab a week and a half ago. Maybe it's only because I'm a current customer.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded to reproduce the original digital data. Modems can be used over any means of transmitting analog signals, from light emitting diodes to radio. The most familiar example is a voice band modem that turns the digital data of a personal computer into modulated electrical signals in the voice frequency range of a telephone channel. These signals can be transmitted over telephone lines and demodulated by another modem at the receiver side to recover the digital data.
