[HTC Sensation] Soween:
Hi,

If I understand correctly, if I buy a HTC Sensation locked with BELL I will be able to unlock it, right? Will not be free, but around $20?

$10 if I read correctly, is it still available at this price?

I just want to be sure, because I'm selling my Captivate (too slow, too small, not enough HTC), and I'm on Rogers, so...

Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] nakadm:
The truth is that is hit and miss with Bell IMEI for sensation. I have one that nobody has a code for. I am stuck with a locked phone for two weeks now!

And if one place tells you code not found, don't bother trying another unlocking site. They all have access to the same database from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] mipepim:
www.htcimeiunlock.com waited 10min. and unlocked for 29.95$ T-Mobile
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Yepp i just unlocked my bell sensation @ cellunlocker.net... Paid @530pm got the key 730pm for 10buck don't understand why you guys are paying more... Thank you for the coupon code now I need my cyanogen!

[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
In the same boat let me know if you find a place to unlock yours and I will do the same.
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:

[HTC Sensation] bob7770699:
I tried doing the 10$ thing but they set me an email giving me a link to the sensation 40 $ unlock page, and refunded my order.
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Well... Sorry it's worked for me... Still use the 50% coupon

I tried this and they sent me my Sensation's unlock code without any problems.

Thanks for the coupon code glhturbo!

Yes thank you amazing deal!

[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
How do these people get these codes anyways? Is it like a keygen that some pirated softwares have or do they just steal HTC's database.

I thought the iPhones just unlocked with a software hack
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Still no dice here imei still not found
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
Tried three different sites and I haven't been able to get one either. Seems like w ehave to wait a few weeks til the new codes come out. Going to try and call Bell to see if they might hand it over.
[HTC Sensation] nakadm:
Same here, and don't use HTCSimUnlock site, they have not refunded me!

It has been three weeks for me now! I really hope we can get another method to SimUnlock like gfree on Desire HD
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Thanks for the heads up.... all sites I tried refunded me right away. Hope the wait is not too long otherwise I will sell the phone as is and get a virgin version as those can be easily unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
I used mobileincanada.com, cellunlock.net and cellunlocker.net and all gave refunds right away. Bell only released the phone on Friday, I'm sure it won't be long before we get the codes.

Just found this on Kajiji for anyone with a Bell version in Toronto, might want to give it a try. I'll give him a call this week and post back.

[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Ok keep us posted
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
Decided to call and find out what he could do. I was told Bell has shipments delivered in stages and the newer ones might not have codes available, which is mine I guess. Only way to find out is to run the IMEI by him for a check. I wasn't able to do it when I called.

My guess is since online sites can't there is a pretty good chance he can't either until the new codes become available.
[HTC Sensation] MohElShafei:
A Happy News :)

I just unlocked my HTC Sensation 4G in just 15 minutes using HTCimeiUnlock.com

It was really brilliant. Fast, secure, and really takes no time.

It costs 25$

Hope this benefits you!

Mohamed
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
Who was your Sensation locked with? I don't think it was Bell.
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
Finally unlocked my Bell Sensation with HTCimeiUnlock.com for $25.
[HTC Sensation] MohElShafei:
It was locked on USA T-Mobile
[HTC Sensation] Arorams:
You can unlock your HTC Sensation using unlock code.Recently i unlocked my HTC mobile using this way.I bought unlock code from theunlockspot.com Here they asked my mobile model no,country,network provider.After that they sent my unlock code via e-mail.So i easily unlocked my mobile within a day.
[Dell Streak 7] rcrh:
So, I've just picked up a Dell Streak 7 and so far I'm not overly impressed with the Froyo OS. If I keep it I'll likely look at one of the custom ROMs here. But I'd like to know if after flashing to a custom ROM if I'll be able to return to the factory setting? I'm asking because I'm within the store return policy so if I really don't like the tablet I can return it for a full refund.

Thanks in advance.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Everything you want to know is in the custom ROM threads and in this section. Happy reading!
[Dell Streak 7] rcrh:
Thanks, I think?

I guess I'm off to wade through them.
[Dell Streak 7] cdubbs684:
To my knowledge, there is no going back to the wifi only version after trying honeycomb. I installed DJ_Steves and successfully got it back to a TMobile 4G image.

You then just have to disable the Cell Standby process by renaming two of the key .apk files.

I used another tool to replace the TMobile boot animation after rooting it, and removed the TMobile apps.
[Dell Streak 7] rcrh:
Thanks for this.

I'm actually giving up on the Streak. The screen just isn't up to snuff.

I think I'm going to pick up a Nook Color and play around with it.
[Dell Streak 7] cdubbs684:
No problem man. This device works perfectly for my application but I cannot recommend it as a general use tablet based on the screen.

I use it docked in the center console of my car through a custom fabbed mount based on the multimedia dock. Screen looks good on my desk when docked.

I personally think that they mounted the panel upside-down. If you are in an application that will rotate, just flipping the thing in landscape mode 180 degrees mitigates all the screen issues with having it on a desk.

The cheaper dell monitors suffer the same color drop off from below in landscape mode but most folks don't notice because most of the monitors sit on the desk at or below eye level.

I would have paid $50 more for a 1280x800 IPS version @ 8" or less.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
The screen is fine except for a single angle. As a Galaxy Tab and iPad user, I can say without reservation that the screen issue is blown out of proportion. It's a budget screen, sure, but it's still as good as almost any laptop/netbook screen. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 it isn't, but it's a far cry from bad.
[Android Software Development] t3chn0v1k1ng:
I see how many people with HDDSLR cameras set up for filming video have to buy a 6" monitor which is connected only by a mini hdmi cable.

I know my EVO 4G has a micro HDMI port, so why not write an application that turns my evo into a little mini hdmi monitor for my DSLR video rig?! Right?!?!

Does anyone know if it's even possible to use that micro hdmi port as a video input? I know there are several apps out there that offer video mirroring or video out to TV, but I haven't seen a video IN for any of these phones yet.

I've never written an android application before, I have no idea where to start, I just wanted to open up the discussion.

I know I'm supposed to just buy the video monitor for the camea, But I know that with the power of android, I can see this DIY solution come to life.

If anything else, I want to do it because it would be fun.
[Android Software Development] lopez.am:
HDMI port in all phones is ONLY OUT. Sorry but your idea isn't factible.

[Acer Iconia A500] jonlewi5:
Hey all,

Seeing as the 3.1 update seems to be doing the rounds, i thought id go back to my backup made by cwm when i first rooted the device.

It seems i am constantly getting md5 mismatch! when i try and flash the backup,

wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] MurderCity420:
Sounds like the backup is corrupted.

I am not 100% sure about this, but I am assuming that when a backup was completed, the backup app did an MD5 hash. When you go to restore it, it does another MD5 hash to make sure the backup hasn't been modified or corrupted. The MD5 hash is different, so it has been changed/corrupted and is no longer usable. Sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] jonlewi5:
thats what i feared.

Oh well, ill have to make a new one now and try it, just outta interest, maybe my SD card :mad:

GingerReal2 R1.1.9 Release notes

This build comes with some more ICS theming.

The nicest thing is the dialer from ICS.

The red marker is the video call button. I made a one pixel to aim.

Because 4 buttons breaks the nice dialer I made it this way.

Change between diffrent dpi's

Now GingerReal supports multi-dpi I made some simple scripts to switch between diffrent values.

The values that are supported by the rom are 240 - 220 - 200

Get terminal emulator from market and type the commands

For 240 dpi type

su
240dpi

For 220 dpi type

su
220dpi

For 200 dpi type

su
200dpi

[HTC Sensation] dipdeol:
I've only used vanilla android devices (nexus one, g2), and I'm thinking about getting the sensation. Other than the obvious differences in the UI, what else is different about sense devices like this? I've read stuff about them not automatically syncing contacts with Google. Is that true? Can I replace the launcher with one from the market?
[HTC Sensation] MathiasMcMurray:
I actually far prefer Sense devices, although you can download a different launcher from the market, none are as polished as sense is. One of the greatest things being sense's widgets. As far as syncing with contacts I might be biased but I think sense actually handles this a little more flawlessly than most devices. It will sync with pretty much any major account you might have, email, twitter, facebook, google etc. I love the sensation, I came from an htc mytouch 4g which was also an outstanding phone. Do it and if you don't like sense you can pretty much find any kind of launcher you want on the market, although I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
If you get S-OFF and start playing with custom ROMs there are a few AOSP ones out there. CM9 for example. Virtuous Inquisition has Sense backend but has had the UI de-sensed as much as possible.

At the moment I'm playing with CM10 Alpha/Beta.

I have never had an issue with syncing contacts with Gmail, stock or custom ROMs. I think the issue you refer to is that as standard with sense you can say where to sync the contact when you create one, Phone, Gmail... The Phone contact can then be synced with Outlook etc. via HTCSync and not with Gmail !
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Sense has a few apps and Widgets that other launchers dont have.

No that's not true, Sense can sync contacts with Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Yes you can use any launcher from the market.

Hi,

On my optimus s I rooted it with gingerbreak and I have clockwork mod manager and I made a backup of the rom. I want to reset the phone without root, can I just go to privacy then reset? I don't want to brick my phone or screw it up. Also from rom manager I said go to recovery mode and it doesn't take me to the android recovery screen. How do I reset to defaults?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I've tried all three and they all just look weird, text doesnt look as smooth as Sense UI. Has anyone else noticed this? text just looks blurry when scrolling.
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
Hi, it seems that for the time being, some alternative launchers are giving some problems to users with the Sensation. Some have problems showing text, others make weird lines appear on screen and things likes that. It seems to be a software problem and hopefully it will be solved with future updates either of the launcher programs or the video driver, don't know which (remember that Sensation's screen resolution is pretty unique now among Android devices). I got this from a spanish forum called HTC Mania.

Hope I helped you. :)
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Thanks for your reply. Do these launchers even support qHD?

The smoothest one is Go Launcher. But for other things I can't decide. I uninstalled ADW immediately because I get extreme lag in app drawer

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Hmm my app draw is super fast using adw ex using the vertical 4d style app drawer. Honestly I have tried them all. The transitions are better and smoother than any other launcher. I would say launcher pro (paid) is 2nd. I only tried go when it first came out so can't comment on that one, zeam was cool but again I like screen transitions and adw ex is my choice for that. Especially the inverse cube transition. I've heard a lot of people say adw was laggy for them, and I do think the free version is not as polished and most people I have heard that say its laggy in my experience have been people using the free version. As opposed to the paid ex version.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Here is a quick youtube video I just did showing my app drawer and showing it's not laggy.

Honestly, all your video did was show me how laggy ADW ex really is. There were multiple times you swiped your finger and the home screens lagged and the widgets lagged.

I guess I owe you a thank you for making me realize I don't even want to give ADW ex a try.
