[HTC Sensation] mista.maja:
had the choice between the SGS2 and the Sensation. even though i hate my current phone (HTC Touch HD) and despite having sworn several times to never buy a HTC phone again i went for the Sensation. it felt better in my hand, plus i wanted the qHD res and i read a lot about people hating Samsung's TouchWiz UI. my alarm bells should've gone off when i compared the UI smoothness of both phones but for some reason i still went with the Sensation (tbh, i was already hoping for snappier custom ROMs later on). i'm hoping to get the new phone within the month (contract running out in august) but after reading about all the technical issues people are having with their Sensations i'm beginning to think i should've picked the SGS2...

so i guess my question is, are you still happy with your Sensation? if you had the chance to go back in time and get a SGS2 instead, would you keep the HTC?
[HTC Sensation] MisterDonut:
both are good phones. i personally hate the way the galaxy looks.. plus samsung phone is so unoriginal.. everything is a ripe off the apple. its one thing to use a proven design, but its another to be exactly like the other company with a different OS.. Trash

Things like design, type of display, UI, and like/dislike of a particular manufacturer are all individual preference and aren't really part of a "performance" discussion.

[HTC Sensation] RandyN:
I switched to the Sensation from a Samsung Vibrant. The hardware was decent, except for GPS, but Samsung's support was terrible. I've sworn off buying anything from Samsung for a while.

If in doubt, go with your gut.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I love my sensation. I think it looks like a sexier device, but then again looks arent everything right? ;) At least you in Europe get to choose. If us Americans want a sgs2 we have to switch to ATT since the sgs2 doesnt support tmo 3g/4g bands. It seems in terms of performance the sammy blows the sensation out of the water based on tests so far.
[HTC Sensation] mista.maja:
thanks, good to know the samsung's not perfect either..

let's hope that changes with future updates...
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Yes, lets hope :)
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
All the Sensation needs to be is fast enough. No phone will be the "fastest" for more than a few months.
[HTC Sensation] mista.maja:
true. coming from a Touch HD, any recent phone will probably make my head spin in terms of UI responsiveness and ease of use. tbh, i don't really care about benchmark results but i'd appreciate knowing the phone i decided to buy stacks up well against the competition ;)
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Most of these problems people have are user error with the exception of dust under the screen. There are just too many idiots these days. These are the same people who have problems with every phone they buy and continually return them and then experience the same problems over and over. I came from a Vibrant and swear by Samsung, but I'll avoid them in the mobile world for a while. Awful phone stock, their software developers are clueless. Rooted was a must to make it useable because of their poor proprietary file system.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Bare in mind current 'benchmarks' don't take into account the increased resolution of the Sensation, nor do they work both the CPUs in the Sensation due to both not running at the same time.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
I'll never own a carrier subsidized phone again. The crapware they add and the hardware and software changes they demand add no value and in some cases screw up the phone. We'll see how long it takes T-Mobile to push a Sensation update after the international version gets a new ROM. To your point on the Vibrant, it's hard to single out the manufacturer when the carrier dictates a lot of what ends up happening with the phone. Other Galaxy S carrier phones weren't nearly as screwed up as the Vibrant.

I have a sensation made in china I am in the uk.

I wanted to know if there was any difference betwee the the Chinese make and Taiwanese made. Is it same quality?

If every could list all the problems they are having with Chinese make and Taiwanese make.

I have loudspeaker problem buzzing/rattlle/ crackle noise when useing loudspeaker to listen to music and when listening calls. Also the touch is very laggy always.

I have a Taiwanese version and I'm starting to have issues. I think it's case to case really.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
There is no difference. They use all the same parts, those 2 countries are just where the phones are assembled. I'm not saying all parts are the same in general (hence the AUO and Sharp screens) but you can get either screen from either country.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] best boy:
Pixel binning is a mechanism to use 2 (or more) pixels of the camera sensor to create 1 pixel in the final image. Pixel binning is basically trading resolution for higher sensitivity. This significantly helps to reduce sensor noise in low light scenes.

The video camera of the SGS2 seems to make use of pixel binning when recording in 720p. The sensor resolution is way bigger than the video resolution of 1280x720 and so sensor pixels are "combined".

Now I'm wondering, if pixel binning could also be used for the still camera. While the camera can take great shots at day light, it has (as most digital cameras) significant noise issues in low light scenes. The still camera could really benefit from pixel binning to create well exposed and less noisy images. I for one would love to have the possibility to trade some mega pixels for noise free, low light images.

aspect ratio | normal resolution | possible pb resolution
4:3 3264x2448, 8mpx 1632x1224, 2mpx
16:9 3264x1968, 6.5mpx 1632x984, 1.6mpx

Does anyone of the developers see a way to enable pixel binning via a (software) mod for the still camera?

[7 Mozart General] faroutdude:
I downloaded touch test from the marketplace and discovered that whilst im charging my my phone the points on the screen jump all over making the phone very difficult to use. Anyone else have this problem or know any fixes?

This is my first ever post sorry if im doing it wrong, go easy on me.

My phone is HTC Mozart running mango. Any help is appreciated thanks.
[7 Mozart General] normubin:
Happen to me too, when using:

- Wall plug USB adaptor

- Some wall plug charger

It's Okay on PC's USB though.
[7 Mozart General] shockem:
I think its because when your phone charges it gets hot. As the phones use capacitive touch screens which detects heat, it detects the heat from the battery and it goes all over the phone. Thus it goes haywire. This is what I think and I don't know if its correct. Hope this helps:)
[7 Mozart General] faroutdude:
Appreciate your replies guys
[7 Mozart General] faroutdude:
Erm i thought that capacitive touch screens worked from electrostatic energy getting conducted though finger tips. Rather than heat/tempretaure. So i dont think the temperature of the battery would affect it. Im not an expert but thats my understanding of it correct me if im wrong. Ps i dont mean to sound like a know it all.
[7 Mozart General] ronslow:
I have the same problem. HTC Mozart 7, using wall charger. Australia (so 240V).

I do not think it is a heat issue, as the problem starts immediately, and there is no sign of heating.

With one charger, the touch screen does not respond correctly .. touch one place and it act as if touched somewhere else. scrolling jerky etc.

With another charger, the reaction is worse, the phone behaves as if someone where pressing, dragging, pinching etc at random over the screen. If will exist apps run other apps, etc etc. So I have to turn it off while charging with that charger.

No problem with a PC (or other device) USB port.

I imagine that there is something causing a build up of charge. Because it is ok with PC USB, I don't think it is a short in the phone or cable. *Perhaps* is may be related to the DC from the charger not being clean (ie not a steady 5V, but varying at the 50/60hz)? Or maybe the voltage or amperage is too high/too low.

But I'm glad to see its not just my that is suffering :)

Hopefully someone with the technical expertise can at least tell us

1) what is going on

2) is it harmful to the phone

3) is there a fix.
[7 Mozart General] tatalor:
Fix : open charger and put a high voltage (1kV+) not polarized capacitor (Y1 (ceramic!?) - I saw some schematics with 2.2/4.7n) between the "-" of the 5v (output GND) and at the "-" after the bridge rectifier from the mains. Basically, you create some sort of grounding between the primary and the secondary of the transformer. I don't know the capacitance value (I took one capacitor from a dead charger and put it to one that did not have this and had the problem with the phone. I did not check the label, but I am sure there are some schematics around. Maybe you can take one from a dead PC psu.).

PS: I have done this a few minutes ago, while trying to change a dead charger with another one (which I had it as junk) and it works.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
So when I go to the local Sprint store, they recommend the PDANet app as a way to tether for free. Great. I use it on the laptop. Works fine. But if I simply want to eliminate the USB cable and do exactly the same thing, they charge a dollar a day to eliminate the USB cable? I can't be the only one who thinks this is excessive!

So what are we really paying for when we pay for Sprint Hotspot? Whenever someone mentions rooting and using free wifi tether, there's always the "but you're stealing from Sprint" excuse. How can that be? My free wired tether (officially recommended by Sprint employees) is using exactly the same amount of Sprint's 3G bandwidth as it is when I use a free wireless tether app on root. So we know it isn't the data we're paying for. We're paying Sprint $30/mo for the privilege of not using a USB cable? I know it's possible that several (potentially many) devices could connect via a wifi access point, but technically if you know what you are doing, you can share an access point on a laptop easily too once you've connected the phone via the USB cable.

So I guess I don't get it. What am I missing? Why couldn't Sprint at least offer a single-connection hotspot option for FREE? It's obvious that Sprint wants to be seen as the "unlimited" provider. Giving the option to at least wirelessly tether a single device would put them in the lead. DO IT SPRINT!

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
You probably got the one either retarded, or just nice and down to earth rep. Spring does not sanction the use of any tethering app, that's why they charge to use the built in one. Whoever told you that shouldn't have done so.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
The app is in the market and doesn't require root. If they have a problem with Google's market and the apps within, then they should not run the Android OS. Sprint is just trying to sucker people by charging for this free feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
While this is true, they still don't condone tethering without paying for the hotspot. It's not unheard of for Sprint to drop customers over excessive data usage due to tethering.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
How would that work legally? It is a free app in the marketplace.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
Sprint, and all other ISPs, have to pay for the bandwidth we use. When they offer us an "unlimited" plan they make a calculated guess as to how much data we may actually use and price their plan accordingly. They then hope we don't use too much.

However, the ability to tether throws the isps for a loop because of the potential for using so much more data. So they charge us an additional fee to cover the "excessive" bandwidth costs!

Of course they will never admit that the cost is for bandwidth since we are supposedly getting "unlimited". Its a catch-22 of lies for everyone.

Frankly, I get that bandwidth costs money. But I think its BS for a company to sell us unlimited data and then charge extra if we actually use it.

Either way, once this thing is rooted we will get around it.

Richard
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
Sprint's terms & conditions specifically prohibit tethering, unless paying for a plan that specifically allows for tethering. A Sprint rep telling you that you can tether for free doesn't suddenly change this fact. It might give you some leeway if you're caught tethering, but you're still against the T&C of your service.

I would prefer legitimately being able to tether without paying extra, but Sprint has the right to charge for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
PDAnet isn't free, you have to buy the app or at least the full version. And Sprint can't ban the app because it can be used on many platforms and many devices so how do you think Sprint can ban it from the Android Market, Sprint doesn't own the Market, Google does.

Your whole argument in this thread is invalid. Sprint has every right to charge for its services and if you don't want to pay for them don't. If there are legit ways to get around the charges than do it. Don't whine here.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Good points and that's kinda why I brought it up. You have to wonder about both the present and the future of paid wireless tethering. I'm hoping soon that Sprint will lead the way to free tethering by announcing that they are the only company who now offers free wifi hotspots. Imagine how many people would switch THEN!

For now, we have free wired tethering that Sprint employees are (maybe "unofficially") supporting but yet you have to pay to do the same thing without the wire. And then there's the Nexus S which can do free wireless tether right out of the box as a standard feature. Sprint sets those up for you too, activates the phone, and you walk out of the store with a phone that does for free what they are charging us Evo 3D owners $30/mo for.

You gotta wonder WTF is up with the status of wireless tethering here.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Jackietreehorn:
They charge you because they can. There is no other reason. They set the price as high as they think they can and still get a decent number of people to bite. The only reason the Nexus S does it for free out of the box is because Google didn't let Sprint tamper with the software and disable the feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
AT&T & Verizon (from what I know) do in fact have tethering apps filtered out of the market on their service...

...I recall hearing that Sprint had a non-anti-tether-app policy, officially. I'm pretty sure I heard that on Androidcentral, but don't remember specifically.

Just don't abuse your tethering.

Though, truth be told, I could saturate that wimpy 3G connection with pandora and basic web surfing--on my phone....so I don't see what the big deal is...and 4G isn't metered by Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
I say keep tethering, hopefully Sprint will overcompensate for the extra bandwidth people are abusing.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
I've used the wireless tethering before sprint even started charging for it so screw them. If anything they're stealing from the devs who made the original app by charging such a ridiculous amount for something that's available for free.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
That's some jacked up logic, dude.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotmoobs:
rofl your on their network though and you sign a contract stating you won't.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
Bottom line is this: There is only so much bandwidth to go around. You can't just pretend that the airwaves are limitless and "corporate greed" is the reason we can't go nuts with data usage. Fact is that if everybody did this, nobody would be able to have decent quality of service. It would be like trying to have a hundred people squeeze through a door at once. It's just a matter of physics, it can't be done.

Right now when it comes to wireless tethering, sprint is simply looking the other way. There are many things that they could be doing to stop it, and they are aware of these things (verizon and at&t implement many countermeasures) but they don't use any of them. Why exactly this is, I don't really know, but I'd wager to guess that they want to appeal to users like us who don't want to go to other carriers just because of the little things like this.

However they can't go to the opposite extreme and outright allow it, simply because if they did this, people WOULD go nuts with their data usage, and sprint couldn't afford that. So this is their middle ground: saying don't do it, but looking the other way when you do, and if you go overboard, they tell you to go with another provider.

And personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, and I give props to sprint for doing that.

Sprint can ask Google to hide the app from sprint users, much in the same way that at&t and verizon asked google to hide the wifi tethering apps from their respective users, and google did exactly that.

if you need justification to pay 30 bucks, good luck. You will never get it, atleast not from sprint. Everyone does it, atleast sprint gives you unlimited for 30 bucks.

That's not a factory ROM or even one designed for the Captivate. It is a custom ROM based on i9000 Gingerbread.
