[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
Hello everyone - I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been in contact with Case-mate regarding the 'Barely There' for the HTC Sensation. As we all know our Sensations have 5 tiny little holes on the back that are used for all sorts of purposes including noise cancellation (what do they all do by the way?). The current 'Barely There' by Case-mate does not have the necessary openings:

This is the email I received:

"Thank you for your feedback. I presented your concern to our Product Development Team. We are reviewing the issue at this time and should have an update by end of the month, if, when the re-design will take place."

So I would currently advice against buying the current range of cases from Case-mate as they will likely be redesigning the range.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
It's nice that they replied with concerns. I ordered a SGS2 full body protector from Skinomi, which has a defective design for the battery cover. I gave Skinomi a call regarding a fixed design for replacement but they just said they will send me a replacement and never did.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Those holes are NOT for noise cancelling, they are just for for the gold antenna connectors!!!!

There is only 1 mic on the back and it's above the camera
[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
How come all official HTC cases have cutouts for these holes if they weren't important?
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
well htc did say that those holes should stay uncovered, thats why alot of the case mates are called back..
[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
I don't know how they even released the first lot of casemates without proper testing...
[HTC Sensation] Damonkashu:
HTC said that? where?
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
what the hell htc?

wthell is up with all these faulty, wrongly sized or nonexistent cases/accessories for the Sensation? Screen protectors don't account for the curved glass and bubble up and body glove filament scraping off the inside of cases? this is ridiculous. The phone has been out in Europe for amonth and there are still no credible products for us now in the states. smh@u htc.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
how is it HTC's fault? the case isn't even made by HTC. only maybe if HTC sent them a messed up demo unit.

I doubt you will find a screen protector that covers the curved glass. if it does then the protector wont stick to the surface. you might as well go for those wet-applied soft ones.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
how is it not?

They make the product. They know the production schedule. They know its release date. They know who they "officially" license to create accessories.

If your phone is a multimedia phone and you have no kickstand for the apparent movies/media your buyers are going to purchase the phone for - who is shortsighted one the customers or the manufacturer?

If you have limited to no decent selection of cases - AT THE STORE - where the product is manufactured for, is it the customers fault or the manufacturers?

If your phone, with the same specs and measurements as its European counterpart, is shipped a month earlier overseas and you STILL don't have products available in the states or abroad, who is the culprit?

If I go into best buy and can buy 15 different cases and a host of different accessories for the Evo 3D (besides the selection the have at the Sprint Store) and I have to scour the internet for the same 10 things for the Sensation who is to blame?

If you license a company to make screen protectors that do not stick to the edges of the curved glass screen who is to blame - the customer that blew $15 bucks on a faulty product or the manufacturer?

Hey, if you are happy with what you have found to equip your Sensation more power to you. However, I and a lot of other Sensation owners, are not pleased with the selection and the lengths we have to go through to get decent accessories at the time of purchase. That falls at the manufacturer's feet. No device then no accessories.

Hey, if you found accessories
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I emailed HTC and asked about the holes. Here's the not so helpful response:

"You were wondering about any important holes in the back cover for your HTC Sensation 4G. I would be more than happy to assist you with this hardware inquiry. You have a number of holes on the back cover and there are a few that I would suggest you leave open. Up towards the top of the back cover, you should find the camera and the flash to the left of it. If you look towards the right, you will see a speaker (long rectangular box). The rest of the holes are noise cancelling speakers, which you should be able to cover."

:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Unless an accessory has HTC's logo on it I would highly doubt that HTC approves, licenses, or ever sees the design of a product. Even if it does have an HTC logo it's no guarantee HTC approved it. Anyone can design and sell any accessory they want. Your ire is misdirected.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
LOL...I think the person was trying to say the bottom holes can be covered (the two under where it says WITH HTC SENSE) but the rest shouldn't be. Just my guess.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Here's my translation, don't cover the camera, the LED's or the speaker. All the others don't matter.

Hard to figure how noise cancellation, and the second mic for stereo recording don't matter, but she hit the priorities I suppose. :)

I have a hard time believing HTC went to the trouble of putting those holes there for no good reason. But I could be persuaded by actual facts. Still waiting for them.
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
Apple (IPhone) licenses theirs out for sure. You aren't allowed to put iPhone on the packaging without a license. We were looking into making big bang theory iphone skins and learned that we had to pay them a royalty to put "iPhone" on the packaging. I don't think HTC licenses it out at all. Notice none of these sensation cases have "HTC" anywhere on the packaging, but they do have the carrier model name...
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
Either way, having to flip cases inside out, felt shedding from inside cases, case recalls, death grip enhancing - the works - could be avoided by even HTC providing a case (at the time of launch) so that we could protect the phone. I am still smarting over the fact that I have seen an Evo 3d Kickstand case by htc and none for the sensation that is labeled a multimedia phone with a front facing camera. there is NOTHING out there (besides the body glove one).

hello guys

I just upgraded my milestone to 7.1.0 RC 11 (before I had the RC 10) has disappeared after I updated the settings icon. is normal or not I downloaded it to hurt my phone?

I state that I have also also done a hard reset to see if it solves the problem but nothing. I forgot that I also have appeared two folders with the same file manager. however, it seems the phone and go without any major problems apart as I said that I no longer have the settings icon and I have two file manager. if someone tells me if I have the same problem or if not, how can I solve

I usually do a nandroid before updating a ROM, so I can look whats wrong :P
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
this is a work in progress, and i'd like to get some feedback.

i added an option in Camera > Advanced Setting > Storage > Save to External SD

when checked, images and videos are saved to /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera just like CM7.

when unchecked, they go to /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera

something might be broken. i haven't tested it thoroughly.

flashable zip of Camera.apk (based on cm#73) : http://www.mediafire.com/?o3ohnvct9236b1c

source code patch : http://www.mediafire.com/?zdg48e8101212q0

also included : restore zoom menu in video mode. force to label the second camera and "Front"

status : images and videos can be saved to either internal or external sd

issues : unknown yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aaberg:
Does this contain the patch for higher bitrates on video on the O2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
Haven´t tested yet, but it´s a good idea.

Just read OP again.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
there are two patches related to 1080p 30fps high bitrate recording by LeJay.

one is in the source code of Camera.apk to enable 30 fps at 1920x1088

second is in "/system/etc/media_profiles.xml" to increase bitrates.

first one has been included since nightly #65.

second one can be manually done by editting that file. (may require to reboot to be effective.) there is flashable bitrates.zip in LeJay's original thread. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15290203&postcount=197

which one did you mean ?

the answer is yes on the source, and no on the media_profiles.xml
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
thanks, rori.

well, the idea is not mine. it was a request by someone from nightly thread.

i figured i would take a look and see if it can be done.

the storage location was hard-coded in the source.

i managed to make it work, but it might not be a right way.

so i would welcome any comment, suggestion, criticism, etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
as you already know, cm now supports swapping /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard, therefore it is less useful now.

however, it still could be useful...

but i gotta admit that this would be the last thing in my list for now...

if anybody is interested, i have a necessary patch to do this.

just pm me.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
p990 camera app w/ option to save in internal sd

the patch is still good w/ up to date code.

pastime1971

Hi pastime1971,

First of all, congrats for you great job here. So I've test this patch but i can't save my photos and videos in the external SDcard. I'm running CyanogenMod-7 for Optimus 2X - NIGHLTIES #204.

thanks for your attention e sorry for my poor english lol:)
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
could you elaborate a little bit more ? what happens ? does it just not save ? does it gives you an error message ?
[LG Optimus 2x] adrianogsilva20:
ok, i downloaded camera.apk that you compiled for CM7 #204 and applied the patch via ClockworkMod. I selected this option: install zip from sdcard then i rebooted the phone.

In camera app appears in "Advanced options" to save photos and videos in external sdcard (File Storage - Image/Video Storage) but when i take some photos they were saved in internal SDcard.

There is no error message. Camera app works fine but it's still save in internal sdcard.

My question is...Did i do anything wrong?

Thanks for your attention once more :)
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i see. i will test it again tonight.

but meanwhile, could you wipe dalvik cache and see if it helps ?
[LG Optimus 2x] adrianogsilva20:
hi dude,

I applied the patch again then i wiped dalvik cache but nothing changed :S

More suggestions? If you want i can do more tests to help you improvement this patch.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
ok. compiled the app, and uploaded at http://www.mediafire.com/?40buw7p3afd7ikn

didn't test the old one, but the new one definitely works for me.

here is a screenshot of gallery at http://www.mediafire.com/i/?x0ekcebc1l4515g which shows external folder w/ 31 photos and internal folder w/ 1 photo.

both are named Camera, which are /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera and /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera

btw, if those folders don't exist, i don't know what's gonna happen actually. just in case, create /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera. for me it was already there from the MCR days.
[LG Optimus 2x] adrianogsilva20:
I did the procedure again, i applied the new patch, wiped dalvik cache and rebooted but it didn't work. In my phone the path of external folder is different : mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/Camera.

Before I use your patch I applied another one to mount external sdcard as a folder in internal sdcard: _ExternalSD like in stock ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
sounds like you are also mounting internal as /mnt/sdcard, and then external on top of it, instead of /mnt/emmc.

unfortunately, the path of /mnt/emmc is hard-coded in this one, so it is not gonna work, unless i can figure out how to get the storage location (on the fly) for internal and external in normal case.

but, you can always take the patch, replace /mnt/emmc to /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD, and recompile it. that should work for you, and ONLY FOR YOU.
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
Ηι pastime1971, your mod is giving the standard fps/ kbps like CM nightlies (204)?

Or have you adjusted them too?
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
Same as nightly. This is the storage option mod only.
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
Thanks for the answer and your support!

First of all I am using the camera app that came with 204.

I tried to alter the /etc/mediaprofiles.XML to force higher bit rate and fps with mixed results.

I put the minimum fps to 24, and I took some test samples. In some parts it is ok and in some it seems corrupted. (lost frames and artifacts).

(I would really like to have a camera apk like the one of LG, it worked much better over all)
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
check out LeJay's thread on 1088p 30fps recording.

modifying /etc/mediaprofile.xml was discussed there.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
well, now there is a commit in cm to do the same, http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10840
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Deleted member 3979716:
X10 bootloader has been finally bypassed!

Does that mean our bootloader will be unlocked as well?

Slade, d4rk, etc., say something.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dan53:
We can already add modules to the kernel for overclock and undervolt etc. So whats the point in doing it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coversnail:
Would be able to unlock carrier SIM locks for free.

Use custom kernels for native tethering support

Improved battery life.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dan53:
Ahh yes of course. Overlooked the second one because my carrier doesn't allow tethering :P

We wont get improved battery life, because that comes with undervolting - we can do that already.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ravencz:
Also better camera support for CM7, if I'm not mistaken.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
The most that we can make after "unlocking" the bootloader is that we can boot any custom Operating System.

Yes, not just android but any operating system, but that is totally dependent on our hardware capabilities ofcourse!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Deleted member 3979716:
It's true, death, you're right!

But that's really awesome!

Imagine Android 2.4 (which will come later) or android 2.3 without bugs or windows phone 7 (for the windows lovers). And believe me, a qualcomm processor with Adreno 200GPU isn't low.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Plancton.fr:
Bootloader has been bypassed !

But on the big X10, they can flash custom Kernel !

And custom kernel are very important !

If you run Android 2.3.4 on a Kernel for Android 2.1 it's not very stable !

A good Kernel can save Battery life without undervolting !

With a custom Kernel we can have very good performance in games.

But anyway, SE don't give his Kernel sources so it would never be as good as it can !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Asus got out of the blocks really fast supporting the TF with bug fixes and updates, but seem to have gone very quiet now. Whilst their response is still leagues ahead of the likes of Samsung, I'm starting to feel a little lingering disappointment that issues most of us are experiencing haven't been addressed as yet, namely Flash acceleration and dock battery drain in my particular case, given how proactive Asus seemed to be just 6 weeks ago.

Specifically, where we seemed to have Asus staff contacting XDA users directly a few weeks ago, I'm not hearing of this any more.

If I *knew* that all our issues were being worked on as part of an update to 3.2, I'd be a lot happier, but if they are Asus could do themselves a massive favour by communicating this to their user base.

So Asus, if you are reading this, a little extra "official" communication can go a very long way! I don't expect miracles, and I understand how long it can take to fix bugs, provide updates, and QA them for release, but the comfort of knowing they are coming is important to the consumer.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BulletProofPoet:
Coudn't agree more, mate. A little official communication from Asus would go a long way at this point.

Cheers,

Rich
[Eee Pad Transformer General] philsuf:
it never seems to be enough, is it?

we're miles ahead in terms of updates compared to other honeycomb tablets

yet, we still wanted more... (even though u knew they're gonna come out with 3.2 soon)

what's next, asking jerry shen to officially confirms every updates?

oh well

really sorry if i offend any, cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Daley87:
I think if people were complaining about minor issues then you may have a point but I think the flash playback is a big problem that needs to be addressed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andrewklau:
Sad thing is, their so called support which gets "escalated" after 24 hours.. no reply after 1 whole week.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Thing is, it's basic human nature to believe one's own problems to be big, and the other problems to be minor. Fact of the matter is, Asus has been about the most forthcoming and prompt with fixes of any tablet manufacturer out there, but they can't define Google's release schedule.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'd hate to penalize Asus for having the most functional and updated Honeycomb tablet simply because they've slowed down in the last few weeks. The bottom line is, although we have some issues, only the 720p Flash issue is comparable to other tablet vendors. The keyboard dock charging issue is a bummer, but it's still unique functionality that nobody else has come close to providing.

Consider that the Xoom still doesn't have microSD card support, and here we are with full host mode support on the dock, both microSD and SD slots supported, two full-size USB ports supporting a wide range of devices (including my Logitech mouse, which is cool). I'd say that's pretty impressive support so far.

My hope is that Asus is working diligently on a killer update to coincide with 3.2, and that will resolve all of the major issues we're currently experiencing. If that comes out by the end of July, or even in early August, then I think Asus is doing a marvelous job of supporting this thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I am an eternal pessimist. *IF* they fix Flash video playback. Wifi channels 12-13 in the UK, keyboard lag in the browser, video playback in general (Get rid of judder on video with sound) and possibly better battery performance I will be so much happier. But sadly I don't have that much faith. If they all get fixed in a single update I will eat my hat.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] decepticon:
Couldn't agree more, when the Xoom has a non-functioning SD slot and the Tab doesn't have one at all I give Asus credit there. Some of the issues are inherent to HC in general, don't have a dock so not aware of a charging issue there except you aren't supposed to charge them together.

Asus hit the floor running with the TF and I couldn't be happier, the Thrive being released will lead them to only step it up even more now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
This is the only thing keeping me hoping. That other tablets being released means they need to fix the problems pronto or lose sales!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NisseGurra:
Have to agree.

Had the asus pad for 2 days and i am not to happy about it.

I seems a a very beta sw, heavy lag in ui. Tried all the custom roms and no real improvement.

720P movies stutters a lot, even with high oc. (tried a number od players and 720p movies.

Tegra 2 and honeycomb is not up to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] syntrix:
Mine are charging together just fine. Since you don't have a dock, did I miss this in the manual that came with my dock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Yes, I don't think that's true. I believe it's designed to charge the tablet first when docked, and then the dock. I suppose you'd not want to charge them together if your objective is to fully charge the dock as quickly as possible...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] decepticon:
I recall reading somewhere that Asus doesn't recommend it. If it works then great, one more benefit to when I get a dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JonKyu:
Seems logical to me. What I noticed is that when docked together and plugged in it solely charges the tablet first. Then at around 90% it charges the tablet a lot slower then focuses on charging the dock.
