[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
After exchanging my g2x about 6 times I called the retention center and told them that I would cancel my account since I needed a working phone and the g2 was definitely not a comparable device. As soon as I mentioned the cancellation he told me I could get the sensation as an upgrade ( even though I just opened my account 5 months ago) so I just paid the $250 and got a sensation on the mail. So far, I absolutely love it :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
What is the number for corporate or retention departments?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
Just call customer service and ask to be transfered to the retention center
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Easiest way to get to customer retention is to tell the computer voice you want to cancel your account. She then says, "Ok then, Ill get you right over to someone who can help". Boom, your at customer retention.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
I called the corporate number that someone had posted in an earlier thread - you should be able to search for it. Keep in mind that this number is NOT customer care, or even retentions - I had no luck with either of those departments. When you call the corporate number, ask to get transfered to "Executive Customer Relations" or something like that. You will have to leave a voicemail and they will call you back within the next couple days.

I explained my situation after getting a call back. I, probably like others that have received this deal, have been a customer for a long time (~10 years), so I'm sure that weighed heavily in their decision.

Eventually (a few days later), I was shipped a Sensation (account credited the full cost of the phone after I mailed my G2X back to them), paid no upgrade fees, and was even credited the cost of shipping. They did have me agree to a new two year contract, but that was fine given the service they provided.

Just remember to be courteous and calm when explaining your situation - doing so can go a long way. Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Which thread!?! I need this number!! Thanks for helping us out here!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
Removed upon request.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jomaxwel:
Please remove the number from your post. Now some kid has started whining saying he called corporate and they wont give him a sensation and he knows others on xda have been given one. If anyone who's not completely lazy or stupid wants it they can find it.

Sorry I also was feeding the fire but I removed my posts after reading that crap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Damn, I would have thought corporate would have given you a better deal than what the retention department gave me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
I bit the bullet. Since I have been a customer for so long, they gave me a 1 year discount ($402 and change). I had my 2 day old G2X up for sale at $300 for maybe 20 minutes and already have a guy coming tomorrow to buy it. Out of pocket $100 bucks isn't too terrible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Man. My experience ia this... Had g2x, sold g2x for sensation. Hated the sensation all 3 had horrible wifi and screen weirdness. Not to mention two types of screens.. Now I'm back to the g2x. It may not be perfect, but its a heck of a lot better than the sensation imo..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RevenG:
I am still debating on whether I should keep my G2x, get a Sensation, or just wait for the MyTouch 4G Slide.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] josepr07:
Better than what!!!!! Stop using those drugs, is against law.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Only thing I am hating on the HTC is that I loathe non-vanilla Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Called the I use wifi crack pipe and the sensation has horrible wifi...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
If that's all I need to worry about, I'm fine. I have a router on each floor of my house.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Except my Sensation? :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Not all of them suffer from the WiFi deathgrip. By the way, it only occurs when holding it in landscape. A lot of people have it and a lot don't. Mine nor my wife's suffer from it. I even made a video for Smashpunks proving I didn't have it. I walked all over my house on opposite floors the router is on and outside of my house. Mine doesn't drop a single bar when switching to landscape and it gets full bars throughout the 3 story house.

One more thing. If you get the Acer display, keep returning it until you get a Sharp panel. Its a better display with the clearest text you've ever seen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Thanks for the info! After having so many issues with other things (GPS not locking, reboots during calls, etc), the fact that the screen bleed was visible on EVERYTHING with this current unit, I got fed up with the G2X.

Note: I was a strong believer that the screen bleed was overzealous people. This is horrid though.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Ever time I boot I see during boot the message Drive mount has been denied super user. Any ideas. 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
You might have accidentally denied DriveMount Super User access at one time or something...etc

start up Super User and you will see it listed the many programs that has been granted or denied... You can select DriveMount from the list and choose "forget" option...

Reboot... or start DriveMount again...

You should now be prompted to give SuperUser access to it...

remember to allow and choose to remembered the permission

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
That took care of it, thanks.

Thanks, it woked fine and added to my Knowledge.
[Acer Iconia A500] dj_coolish:
i have another problem. i can't access the superuser app in my htc sappire

is really annoying when i try to use any bluetooth application like "bluetooth file transfer"

what should i do? is there a way to update super user or just remove it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Hi, my cousin's arc is acting weird. It doesn't happen all the time so it is hard for me know what is exactly wrong.

1) When the battery was at 40%, the phone shuts down. This happened once when I was playing with it and I thought maybe I mistaken 4% for 40.

Then a few days later.

2) My cousin noticed the battery was at 40%, he left the phone in his pocket and it shuts down. So now I think last time when I was playing with it, it wasn't a mistake.

Then when the phone is pluged in, it will be low on battery e.g. 4 percent. He doesn't use the phone a lot so it should last a day or two before it need to be charged again from fully charged. But the phone just shut down at 40percent today.

So now it is hard for me to know what is wrong with it. Is it due to battery being defected? Problem with the phone itself? Or might be some apps that caused the problem?

It is running on 2.3.3 Rogers firmware. Stock, not rooted etc. He had the phone for a week and it happened 2-3 times already.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
You could try repairing it via SEUS but you will lose all data. Make a back up.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
It could be that the phone has stored incorrect limits for the battery - a factory reset should solve this.

However, it seems more likely to me that the battery is faulty.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Thanks for these suggestions. I have searched the forum quite a bit last night and there were a few others looked like the problem I am having. So going to try out those methods first. Then the suggestions in this thread.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TanMak:
Has he tried running the phone flat, then take out the battery and charge it with the phone off till completion. Mine used to shutdown anytime after 20% ; after doing this it never has again. Shot in the dark ... worth the effort.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalesh:
Any update??

Was the issue resolved? What all things did you try?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Nope, the best I got is 20% then to 1% then shutdown. It is in repair centre now.

I have tried repairing, reflashing, battery widget etc, everything I can find on xda and it didn't work.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Updates

It came back from the repair center and did not get repaired, it was phone being sent only. It still had the problem.

Then sent it again (good thing it is just 20 mins drive on highway) and left the phone and battery there.

Now got phone back, battery is replaced (since I think it was battery being faulty). Now it is at 29% percent and looking good.

I will update this thread if I got more. I am leaving this thread here so others who have this problem and tried all the suggested methods on xda and failed, it means that your battery is faulty!
[Android Software Development] Blackdalhia:
Hi there !

I was working on an android 2.2 tablet and moved to Iconia android 3.0 and encounter one issue when using flash plugin :

- I bought a custom development on freelancer: the app is very simple, it launches my all flash website in full screen. It was working perfectly on 2.2

- Now it does not work on 3.0 : I get a blank screen.

This is all the more strange as the default browser (Chrome) can launch my apps without any problem....

Since the developper is not answering my email anymore, I need to fix this by myself. Anybody would know why my apps would not use the flash plugin while the default browser does ?

edit : I installed dolphin HD and it is the same : it cannot use the flash plugin !! really strange. Hence my question : where is the link between browser and flash plugin set up ??

thanks for any hints, I don't know where to start ....
[Android Software Development] Blackdalhia:
Up !

I fixed the issue with dolphin : just needed to enable all plugin !

I thought : the default browser of the Iconia tab is chrome, my app is using the android default browser, so the issue must be to enable flash plugin in default android browser... but I have no access to its settings !

does anybody know how to launch the default android browser ?

thanks in advance, I am dying on this one ...... any help much much appreciated !

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] METDeath:
So while I don't like the Sense launcher and the over abundance of... stuff. I have come to rather like the Sense Email app as it actually forwards email attachments where the AOSP Email does not.

I did a simple copy of an early Gingerbread HTC email apk and that didn't play nice at all could not install it with Root Explorer or adb (what few tricks I know).

Anyone have any tips?

Edit: Further learning (adb -d install blahblah), says that I'm missing a library, how can I find out what library I am missing?

Edit 2: Increased googlefu has found threads on other forums of XDA that says the Sense programs require the Sense frame work, so I basically need a De-Sensed Sense ROM as I prefer ADW by far for my launcher...

But I still hope someone has a solution for putting a Sense email client on AOSP ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
not possible. sorry.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-heineken:
Yeah..not possible. It's sad...I really like the Sense dialer (type numbers and contacts Names and numbers are searched). And yes, I know 3rd party apps exist that do this...but they're unattractive and buggy :(

I would like to know the same, how do i root stock HC 3.2, I could not get the 3.2 update to work via CWM so I used fastboot to flash 3.2 image files. I'm on stock 3.2 but need to root it so I can restore my Titanium backup:confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
If you're *already on* stock 3.2, flash CWM and then apply teh su zip? Why would that be a problem?

On the stock launcher, I remember there being some options to change it to a squared look. Any idea of why that option isn't present on the sensation?

Well we all know sense is fat and slow. It looks great. But we want speed. Or at least i do. I use adw at the moment. I think its pretty good. Have any of you tried launcher pro or something else that you think is far better than any other. Lets take a poll. Im interested. Thanks

[HTC Sensation] examitas:
I'm a fan of Gingerbread Launcher by MoRaVia. Simple and snappy. Also, it is free.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
ADW EX. I'll never use anything else. The hidden dockbar is just too good. Fast and clean and nothing else comes close for customization.

Also used Launcher Pro, but ADW wins.
[HTC Sensation] marclais:
I have always used adw on my other phones with CM7, but it didn't seem to run very well on the sensation. I just tried Launcher Pro starting about 2 days ago and that is where I am staying until something changes.
[HTC Sensation] pinhead:
I haven't GoLauncher EX is the only one that wasn't slow on my phone...ADW was great on my G2 though.
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
I thought the same until I found wave launcher. I still swap from launcher 7 and adw ex, but I no longer use the hidden dock.
[HTC Sensation] genetic714:
I've had both Launcher Pro and ADW Ex. I liked ADW Ex better than Launcher Pro. Both were definitely faster and snappier than the Sense. But I put Sense back on cause of the looks.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Had ADW EX for a little while but then switched to Go Launcher EX. I actually find it more customizable. Both were fast for me. I don't think I'll switch for a while.
[HTC Sensation] PDY05:
Sense is fine for me. I think it's just as quick as the other launchers stock for stock
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Same as close as your gonna get to stock android.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
cant get away from sense : /

i love customization of adw ex but i always end up missing my sense widgets.. now if someone can develop some sense widget replacements ill be set
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
I use Go Launcher. I tried Adw and	launcher Pro ex but I just think that the customization in Go Launcher is better than anything else, at the moment anyways. I also like the transitions and the" wrap around" home screens. I keep the other two installed just to check for updates.
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
I wouldn't mind a faster launcher, but I really like the ring lockscreen scheme on Sense.

Twlauncher seems nice too. I'm using it today.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Do any launchers support the qHD wallpaper like Sense does? I've tried Go Launcher and ADW and can't get them to not crop my wallpaper photo too much. The form factor isn't right.

Also Go Launcher dock icons are too small on this screen, and don't seem adjustable.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
Tried using ADW and Launcher Pro PLus for some time....

I realized, Sense 3.0 is the best :)

I use launcher pro and you still keep the sense lockscreen. One downfall of sense is that it only takes gives you a 4x4 layout. I have 5x10 layout using launcher pro means you can fit more on your homescreens. Plus you can resize widgets.

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
I switched to ADW EX, as the Sense launcher is much too laggy to me, and it also has the irritating problem of being much too bloated. This leads to the launcher having to restart everytime you use somethin heavy, and its not a quick process.
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
I never cared for sense. Launcher pro plus is my fav, but I haven't been using it lately. Go launcher with colorized widgets for me, for now
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
I am using go launcher. there is no other better choice.
[HTC Sensation] choppstixx860:
I tried a lot of launchers but i couldn't seem to find one that will support pictures taken from the camera to fit the whole entire screen. It looks bad when its zoomed in on only part of the picture, unless someone knows a way around this?
[HTC Sensation] nikzDHD:
I miss the sense widgets, so launcher pro is a replacement for me but still not as good as some of the more useful sense widgets such as friendstream.
[HTC Sensation] :
I just updated to the latest launcher 7 and its more fit for the qhd with its recent update.

Any typos are due to this being sent from my sensation 4g with the xda premium app....

ADW

I have been using LauncerPro plus on all my prev phones, but then tried ADW on Sensation and I can see that its much faster. So will stick with ADW for a now

I like sense and its speed was never an issue but having a 4x4 home screen on a 540*960 screen is a crime, so will never use it unless I can change it to 5x6
[HTC Sensation] eyan15:
Why don't you edit the pictures to 1080x960 and if you are using ADW enable Wallpaper Scrolling under General Behavior -->Animation and effects

HTC Sense stock launcher ... if i would want different one i wouldnt buy HTC phone, using different launcher is like changing OS in iBook from OSX to Windows, it just doesnt make any sense at all. Just saying

Actually it does make sense. You get a really nice hardware and a really nice os when you buy a Mac and use Windows.

Back ot.

totally disagree. This is android, variety is what makes it great. And htc did make the g1 and nexus one. No htc sense. So for me, I trust htc hardware, and that's why I like them. I can handle the rest. But again, its preference, and android gives u options

go launcher ex worked real smooth. ive tried adw and launcher pro too, but in the end im currently using the gingerbread launcher

lol'd

Well iam buying HTC phones because of HTC Sense, since theres like gazillion Android phones out there, now even simmilar or better then Sensation's params, like Galaxy S2, yet iam not looking for Android phone, but something more ... hence the comparison with Apple, people dont buy iPhone for its hardware, but Darwin based OS which one makes iPhone iPhone, just like Sense (iam not talking about ersatz for Sense like SPB shell or whatever lolstuff) makes HTC phones HTC phones. Have to agree on fact that this is very individual and my motives may differ from other people motives. And my post went off-topic i guess :)
[HTC Sensation] I-Heine-I:
Used Launcherpro on my old phone because it was the only launcher with reasonable performance on that ****ty device. Still using LP on my great Sensation :). It just offers the smoothest experience in combination with good customization. But is it just me or is LP not completely optimized for the Sensation yet?, I sometimes get glitches and the app dawer fade in seems laggy. Still the best launcher though :P
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
I run live wallpapers with ADW and it's fast and smooth.

Elixir widgets let you put up to 7x7 (49 icons) on one home screen. I love Elixir.
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
Launcher pro is the best imo. I loved using it on my older phones (mytouch3g and g1) because it was super smooth an responsive. I used it a couple of time on my sensation but like someone said in a earlier post it doesn't feel quite optimized on the sensation yet so I just returned to stock sense. I hated adw it lagged on every phone I ever used it on. I used to hate when the older versions of cyanogenmod came with it installed on it.
[HTC Sensation] Williamli:
i think so much peoples are using the ADW more then GO & launcher pro in XDA forum =)
[HTC Sensation] :
im thinking the same thing, i tried all three and adw seems really smooth to me
[HTC Sensation] ptit developer:
I expect in a "Home" a lot of personnalisation, because i use it all the time and i need to have what i want on it at every moment.

I tried a lot of "Launcher" since i have Android on my Phone, so more than two years.

I liked the "ADW Lancher" just for the "ADW Themes", but that is all for this one.

My favorite is the "Launcher Pro Plus", except the fact it do what all others do, he has more system personnalisation, for exemple about the drain battery.

Just read all of thing in the "Settings", and edit it if you understand it, in oder to ask on XDA. i can say you, you have a beautiful "HOME" with effets, and no enough battery loose.

And for people who likes "ADW Themes", "Launcher Pro" can load them.

After this, everybody can prefere what he wants, it is depend on what do you expect of it, and your phone.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I've just started using ADW Launcher EX yesterday, I'm liking the amount of customization options and the themes, just wish sensation had all the default Android widgets installed
[HTC Sensation] YoMama78:
I'm using Go Launcher EX. It's fast and smooth.

I like the effects it has. With the combination of Go Launcher EX Notifications it's what I was looking for.

I also tried ADW and Launcher Pro Plus, Sense 3.0 is a great piece of software but not as much as customizable as I would like.

Go Launcher EX is the best in my opinion for sensation. all these effects, app drawer, dock, gestures are to name few. get it and you will love it just like i did.

Go Launcher pro here, its the smoothest out of the lot, Sens is nice but it shuts down and restarts everytime you want to do anything with the phone other then look at it.

[HTC Sensation] Locusta83:
I use LauncherPro and I'm very satisfied :) Maybe a n00blike question, but are there roms (for Sensation) who use this launcher instead of Go laucher, Sense, etc? I was thinking of Cyanogen mod, but I just noticed that it is using ADW launcher.
