[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
My sensation has never lagged although I did turn this off. The placebo effect doesnt really apply to electronic devices. I think it would be pretty obvious if your phone stops lagging. The mind is a powerful thing, but its not going to fix your smart phone.
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
Placebo effect doesn't apply here. Your mind can heal your body but not your phone. Get over it.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
My point is that it's all subjective - show some benchmarks (any) with Tell HTC turned off and then on and show a difference that's outside the error range. that's how you know it actually does something and not what you're imagining.
[HTC Sensation] div3r5ity:
wow thats crazy, mine is running much faster now
[HTC Sensation] kevsteele:
Tried it - zilch improvement.

I didn't have a problem to begin with, though, and the phone is just as responsive and fast as before.

Dunno if it's a placebo, carrier-specific thing, or just the reboot that fixes things for some, but it made no difference at all in my phone.
[HTC Sensation] StructuralHazard:
I also noticed that the launcher and the panes are, in general, smoother when being swiped.

Just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I made sure to navigate the phone and did indeed see some choppiness all around the interface before switching it off. After disabling, its slightly more responsive and less choppy.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
How about I show you 340mb a memory free with it turned off and only 300 with it turned on?
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Having more free memory can't make your phone faster if it isn't using it. That's like having a bigger gas tank means you can go further, but only if you use it all.

More free doesn't help you in any way. The less free ram the faster a computer can run because its using it for things like caches and preemptive paging. Sorry.

Why does everything posted in XDA turns into a 'who has got bigger penis' fight now a days.

Doesn't hurt to try this, see/feel/imagine an improvement then I say keep it or else turn it back on.

Why does this matter so much?

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
To be honest,I think it has to do with the different carriers and areas the phone is sold in.

In my situation,I specifically told my carrier to turn off data usage with my phone a long time ago.

I'm not paying a fortune for internet on my phone....period.

With that said,it *could be* that the OS is configured to transmit error problems back to HTC freely on some carriers and not others.

Some carriers might not like the phone freely using data bandwidth to report errors.

Just another thought:

Maybe later versions have been made more "sensitive" to the functions of the OS?

My version is 2.3.3 - HTC sense version 3.0.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
It doesn't matter. I think people sometimes just spend so much time tweaking their phone and task killing that they don't even spend any time enjoying the phone. Just saying that on Android you should never worry about memory since the OS manages it excellently. With this HTC Tell thing it may make a difference or not but you don't have to do it to enjoy the phone. It's like battery threads where people say to turn off every feature and radio to extend battery life.

The HTC tell feature is quite important to leave on as it will send error logs and dumps to HTC so they can fix bugs with releases. You're free to turn it off but then don't ***** when they don't fix bugs you have.

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Did you even read my post? I never said more RAM made my phone faster. I was simply stating that "Tell HTC" is using up quite a bit of memory.

Its not placebo as to many people are reporting change. By the way, you never answered my previous questions. Stop beating around the bush or just believe people when they say there lag is gone for the most part.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Your on the XDA forums and asking yourself why people tweak there phones to much instead of enjoying them? Quite a oxyMORON if you ask me. This is how most people here enjoy there phones. We tweak them constantly. Secondly, you do realize that the average person who owns a Sensation isn't turning this feature off, right? Those of us on XDA who have a Sensation probably make up about .5% of total Sensations sold. In that case, I think HTC is getting all the error reports they need.

I love how you go from saying its a placebo affect to it might work but don't turn it off and enjoy your phone instead. Make up your damn mind already.
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
turning that **** off actually fixed my.. lockscreen problems.. weird
[HTC Sensation] djcedric:
no tweaks,completly original with latest 1.35 rom with lockscreen problem,for me also i have the feeling that i don't have the lags on the screen anymore since i have disabled this ****,i feedback any change :) thanks
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nonsence, you just think it fixed your lockscreen problems. Its the placebo affect kicking into high gear....(sarcasm)
[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Lets be really honest here. I highly doubt that htc is going to be fixing your personal bugs for you on your phone. When they cant even fix s-off for so many people. I was glad to end the on going useless data that was running behind the scenes on my phone. You really want to speed things up. Stop running sense. Go download adw in market.

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Exactly, he's just mad because he was wrong about the placebo theory. I didn't even think about it using data. Loading ADW made my Sensation as fast as my G2X in the UI. Its always been faster in apps and the browser.
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
I'm using ADW ex launcher and everything is fast and smooth.no lag what so ever.
[HTC Sensation] Running Sloth:
Well said lol.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
I can confirm my 3vo does not have anything of the sort. No tell HTC at all.
[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
The Android 2.3 keyboard is way better than the stock keyboard on the sensation. Thanks for the info.
[HTC Sensation] rockky:
To me you have to

1.ditch Sense to speed this up.

Launcher pro Advanced Settings has three different speed setting...the max settings really get things flying on this device ...not as well as Evil 3d...but way faster than stock.

2. Get this fully modded to increase memory .
[HTC Sensation] rockky:
Amen. S'way worse on 3d forum.
[HTC Sensation] Bildi13:
Did anyone,who solve problem this way, tried to turn "tel HTC" on again and notice issues come back?

[HTC Sensation] keithleyson:
I find that the best way for me to speed up my Sensation is to not use the Sense 3.0 launcher. Instead I am switching back and forth between launcher pro plus and go launcher.

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
QFT.....I've tried all of the launchers and in my opinion ADW EX is the quickest most responsive one. Plus it has more customization options than anything else. I love being able to change single icons, app names, re size widgets and the ability to add more columns and rows to the home screens.
[HTC Sensation] Jimx2:
I do actually notice an improvements. I use to get 14-15hours of battery on Moderately heavy use, but since I turned this off.. I've been getting 18+hours on Moderately heavy use. Oh I would also like to point out I'm using the Extended Anker battery, which is another reason why my phone last long.

I unplugged it this morning at 4am. and its currently 11pm so yeah. xP
[HTC Sensation] Spekko:
i had a MINOR lag in my lockscreen but it was noticable, after turning this off its PERFECTLY smooth :) thanx
[HTC Sensation] JRaffel:
Didn't work for me...

I tried switching the Tell HTC setting off. On my Sensation. All that happened was Sense restarted every time I backed out of an app. Best solution to restart is to reset phone to factory setting & then only install apps you really need. Use a backup tool to backup texts, call lists etc...
[HTC Sensation] cistokrvni:
Well, this does reduce data usage a little bit, but it's not worthy enough to have it's own thread... You want do speed up your phone? Find a suitable ROM!

[HTC Sensation] YEK1907:
interesting, so i will try :)
[HTC Sensation] rasor99:
probably Works

Not sure about it but my it seems a bit faster
[HTC Sensation] touristas0:
Best way to speed up Sensation is to transfer as less apps into SD card as possible. non-Sense ROMs helps do this better since they give more internal free space.
[HTC Sensation] amaulana:
Nice, try also by deleting non-sense (bloat) apk.
[HTC Sensation] zyetonysmith:
LOL it seems legit

:p:p
[HTC Sensation] palm_pilot:
Worked for me! My sensation slowly wound down to a crawl. Turning off animation and fading worked too. Still not as fast as my desire on Cyanogen, but Im getting there.

Thanks again!

Very very happy. Hell I just saw a article on the g2x having issues, mentioned screen bleed which I don't have, reboots which also don't have and battery heat issues.

Lol id rather have all of those vs the sensation dust, dead pixels, unforgivable wifi, screen not responding to fast swypes, way hotter than the g2x, two different screens which wash out baaaaad.

G2x ftw. Only issue I ever had on ny last g2x was a few reboots out a month. Meh no biggie
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
And ya know what smashpunks alot of people dog the **** outta this phone but for LG and there first big android phone I think its beautiful. Everything about it. Yea they should have this update out and definitely should have did more qa. But for being LG it is not a bad phone at all I know some peeps are sour about the g2x but I have no complaints never really did I love my phone and I'm super happy. **** HTC is known way better then LG in terms of phones and even tho the g2x came out 2 months earlier it was still a better device. Which is crazy cuz we all know how fast new phones get phased out......think about it

I think people were just too hard on LG cause it was the first high end smartphone of theirs. Again the sensation issues wow. I think its cool if not many more g2xs are sold, kind of gives us that love it our own special place.lol but for real, the sensation features had me at hello, but once those wore off the performance just degraded and I missed my g2x. I sure love mine. Especially with cm7. That brightness in the scroll bar like the vibrant is genius ...

I had a n1, people dogged it non true MT screen, and now look at it, still big. People dogged the vibrant, look at it, still strong and part of the elite screen club and its gourmet wow., now this, dog it, but it flunking flying.

Long live the few g2xs left and strong.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
What weather widget (and skin) is that? I like the shelf.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Since I'm an attention seeker...

Something new I did last night. There is a dock there at the bottom of the screen...I've just hidden it by cropping a copy of the wallpaper image and using it as the dock icon. And my dock simply opens up a window with categorized Folder Organizer links, so no need to see specific dock icons on my home screen. I wanted to be as minimalized as I could get.

And when I wanna get fancy and hide my status bar, I touch the 'home' button.

I'm using a Beautiful Widgets live wallpaper along with my custom background, so the clouds move and are interactive (I can make them explode by tapping). And the sun, clouds, etc, change depending on current real weather conditions. The theme is Team Carbon's Steel Blue with Metamorphed lockscreen.

Sorry for the spam, please let me know what you think, as I am still very new to this sort of thing.
