More and more threads about this.

I notice all like gs2 because of the speed .But what about looks and Tuch Wiz sucks.Yes it is faster then sensation but on sensation you have more fun and it looks nicer too it is not all in speed of the phone .. Am i right?
[General Questions and Answers] UniqueNate:
looks are a personal opinion. Touchwiz has better utilization and really isn't all that bad . Sense is nice but a lot of bloated widgets that take up the entire screen.
[General Questions and Answers] Catic:
Nothing personal i hate ppl for likeing samsung cuz of the speed ... Are they blind it looks bad and tuchwiz is bad .... Idk about speed of the phone ......
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Touch wiz doesn't suck, it's accelerated at least, while sense still lags. Anyway fock sake, it's just an interface, you can flash a stock rom in it. Hardware wise sgs2 is twice as fast as the Sensation, the samoled+ is better by a mile, the tegra soc is better by a mile. You may not like sammy's materials but sensation is a really frustrating device, it lags, it has no custom roms and not even root...
[General Questions and Answers] Catic:
So you say in all fields samsung is better?
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Well i like htc build quality much better, but hardware wise the difference is just too big not to care about it...after all i would use a tpu case anyway so the plastic on the samsung shouldn't bother me much...at least it's light.
[General Questions and Answers] itsluy:
Depends on what you like / need.

I love the lock screen & camera on this phone.

I can snap a photo within seconds of hitting the power button.

Htc sense UI 3.0 has many goodies, I was always a hardware keyboard advocate until I tried the HTC.

Speed wise I haven't ran into a single lag ... Yet.

Have had the phone for about 3 days coming from an LG revolution.
[General Questions and Answers] Matt_Williams:
I saw video about it and I must say that Galaxy S II looks better.
[General Questions and Answers] timothyjohnmora:
Sense still lags?

Sense still lags on the sensation? Really? Even with all that power? That's kinda sad. I'd still go for a sensation though. I actually never thought touchwiz was any good. (I also don't like stock, BTW, so that's really just me) Best android moment of my life was when HTC gave my magic sense somewhere in the middle of it's life cycle. Definitely for sensation over S2, just 'coz of sense. I'd rather get something smaller though, somewhere around the desire s is my limit. I still want something smaller, but the wildfire phones are just too fat. A Mini Pro it is then!
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Actually the Sensation is more pleasing for me. I much prefer Sense 3 to TW. And the look and feel of the Sensation is much better for me.
[General Questions and Answers] timothyjohnmora:
Sense does feel more refined than TW, doesn't it? Some people really don't like all that fluff though... I'd say they could occupy different (sub) niches.

Well,I do agree that TouchWiz lacks compared to Sense,but that's my personal opinion after spending two years with HTC.On my Galaxy S II I had to install/buy some things,but I finally made it appeal to me and function as well as Sense used to.Don't miss Sense much anymore.Although a Sense 3 port on the GS2 would be a killer one! :D

[General Questions and Answers] mryellow19:
Well one reason why I got S2 rather than Sensation is because of the build in internal storage. ;)

my sensation makes me smile! its htc all the way for me. not really experiencing any lag issues and the build really stands out!

i like the fact that in touchwiz you can re-size widgets but sense is a better over all experience.

someone mentioned something ab the sensation keyboard, it truly is very responsive and had made me forget ab my physical qwerty keyboard from my last phone.

Anyone know if someone's been able to port android on the iPhone 4? S2 might have hummingbird(edit: does it run on hummingbird?) speed but i'd definitely like to see android on retina.

Back on topic: software has to count for something, especially if your the type to wait for your warranty to expire before you root or flash roms. And the sense contacts app is really something.

[General Questions and Answers] mikestevens21:

[General Questions and Answers] karendar:
Having gone back and forth between SGS2 and Sensation for over 3 months, I can say that I like this from my SGS2 as opposed to Sensation:

Look of the phone itself, I prefer it over the Sensation.

Performance of the phone, Sensation is sleek but Sense seems bulky to me.

Screen I didn't really compare side by side, so I can't say. Both have their merits and downfalls (SGS2 = Super AMOLED+, Sensation = higher res)

Touchwiz is a very basic launcher, but who except alot of HTC and iphone users stick with stock launcher? :D haha (No offense guys! Just a joke!)

Last but not least: 2GB for app storage, 16GB onboard + a microSD slot makes for lots of... "storing"... Crap. heh.

What I hate about my SGS2: STOCK LOCK SCREEN!!! I envy all you Sensation folks just for that. I LOVE the Sense 3 lock screen.. ;)

As alot have mentionned, it's all a matter of taste... If HTC would sell their widgets as apps on the market though, I'm pretty sure everyone would be REAAAALLY happy.

I'm one day hoping Verizon will get the SGSII, I'll be over it.
[General Questions and Answers] itachi1609:
Sentaion its good but without the sense take a lot of memory. SGS2 very fast and reliable
[General Questions and Answers] :
Simple really. If you want Sense, Sensation.

Sensation Pros:

*Better build quality.

*Standard LCD display at qHD resolution (more natural colours and more space, slightly).

*Sense UI if you like it.

SGS2 Pros:

*Lighter (though worse in build; the flimsiness of the battery cover is truly shocking).

*SAMOLED+ display (great in sunlight, low battery usage, but less natural colours, though they are better than before). Better for reading and movies, merely because you won't kill off your battery life doing so.

*Probably better support from the modding community as it was received well (the locked bootloader and currently slow performance of Sense at stock slowed sales).

Overall, personal choice. If you go with the Sensation though, don't worry; mike1986 will look after you with ARHD :)

Luvin the Sensation 4G now that we have at least Temp Root! Removed the bloat & it flies! The developers are on the fast track to get Perm Root...then let the Flashing begin :)
[General Questions and Answers] justwondering:
SGS 2 all the way.
[General Questions and Answers] androidrockz:
Nuh UH! Samsuck can't roll out updates, makes high end beasts, but low end crap. At least make something that CAN work, my Transform is horrible, I wish I went with the EVO Shift. Samsuck rolls a glitchy update that messed up my laptop, causing me crazy in the head. Just get some Tegra phone or anything else. I tell you the best on each carrier.

Verizon: HTC ThunderBolt

T-Mobile: HTC Sensation 4G

AT&T: Motorola Atrix

Sprint: HTC EVO 4G and/or 3D

Notice NONE are Samsung, they dress to impress, but whats inside that matters.
[General Questions and Answers] jlt220:
Honestly anyone who thinks touchwiz sucks has not tried touchwiz 4, 3 was rough and everyone wanted the "GOOGLE" experience and would complain about. I almost always use touchwiz, and the samsung email app has a much nicer interface than the stock google one. I personally would rather have touchwiz over sense, and samsung tends to release a lot of updates for their overseas phones even if US ones lag behind which means you get ports here. Though the sgs 2 is currently only available in other countries. I'm using it and love it, it is just a more refined captivate which i really liked. The plastic is nice in my opinion, i'd use a case either way so at least this way it's light and i can choose a case that i like

[General Questions and Answers] Da Big D:
Though SGS2 beats Sensation in the hardware side of things, I don't really like its design. Never liked the original Galaxy S design either, so that's a pretty big minus. Don't care about the software they come with, I'll be using custom ROM anyway and Sensation is close enough to perma-root. Sensation is unfortunately not available in Turkey yet, but I'd prefer it over Galaxy S2, simply because to me, it looks better.

[General Questions and Answers] matistight:
We'll you got to remember, with all that power, why release just another product with sense? Gotta have more things you can do, which slows it down.

My major "why the f did I buy this??" Is the fact there's no root :( and that it lags lots of times for me. Battery, blows. I have two backup batteries (not OEM, but similar battery life as OEM) and get through 2 batteries easy.

Reason I bought it was $250 with contract that my parents pay, or pay $600-$700 on eBay for a Galaxy S 2. They need it for T-Mobile! I need the 4G's!

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G, in need of a permaroot :(
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Popped to CPWH this evening on the way to get a new belt for my dyson and had a play with the Sensation.

Not a huge difference between it and my HD2 running MCCM HD V4.5, the size is still nice and it felt good in my hand.

I'd checked out a review of it before I left, and it said the screen gets washed out at greater than 45 degree viewing angle, I didn't notice this, nor did I notice any lag.

I'm looking to get a new phone when my contract ends in November (or upgrade in August if O2 stop taking the mick with their new tarriffs and match Vodafone - I really don't want to leave O2 but for £144 less I can get the same phone) and so far the Sensation looks like the one for me.

It will take a while to get used to using the phone button on the home screen (I'll miss the HD2's hardkey) but with the power button on the top I shouldn't keep waking the phone up in my pocket.

One thing I did notice about the app list, on my HD2 it scrolls continuously, whereas the Sensation flowed page by page.

can someone help me i loved the samsung galaxy s2 up until the moment i did a hard reset of the phone by typing the reset code and from then my phone has really been laggy and has put me off using the phone quite a bit, i got annoyed as i realised it had lost all the optimization the phone previously had, smooth scrolling of the menus etc, everything feels really laggy, has this always been the case or am i just getting paranoid, i feel as if its not performing to my standards like it used to so i was gutted about that. Things like the scrolling on the android market is pretty bad, very laggy and its had mini freezes before :/ Please help!

HTC Sensation is using the A8 dual core and GSII is using A9 dual core, there is a big difference between A8 and A9 CPU, A9 CPU is much better on multitasking.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarden:
Hi there! I've been using an Epic 4G since it was released, but I'll be switching to a Sprint Nexus S 4G on Wednesday when it arrive. Just wanted a change of pace until this Nexus "Prime" or an SGS2 comes out or something.

Typically I do my own research, but for this device there seems to be a bit of info fragmentation or maybe I am being dense. I appreciate the interest and responses in advance.

1. While I saw a few mentions of Odin, it was definitely not all over the place... I take it no one really uses it with this device? I did pre-setup the ADB/SDK/Fastboot stuff so it is all ready to go. Was just curious.

2. What are people using when they say to use the "latest" CWM? Most posts link to 3.1x, but I saw a thread for 4.0.0.2 that included an NS4G build. I'm a little thrown off by all of the NS4G stuff in the NS Dev section that isn't also in the NS4G dev section. I have to remember to explore both consistently.

3. What are people's feelings on Rom Manager? I've never used it before, it was a no no on the Epic. That said, it seems to be acceptable on the NS4G and if so I'll probably buy and use it to support the dev.

4. In reading about CWM sticking and not sticking... what is it about the NS4G that has these two styles exist? Is there a reason to go one way or the other? On the Epic you installed CWM and that was the end of it.

5. With the memory all being internal, when does that get wiped automatically? What are the scenarios (i.e. I read Fastboot is one) where this memory will be wiped and I should be careful to backup to PC first?

6. Is it safe to restore (via Titanium) some limited data? I don't want to restore much, but maybe some saved game data (lol Angry Birds, Fieldrunners, etc).

I think that's it for now... if anyone has personal opinions/recomendations on ROM/Kernel combinations, that'd be cool too, though I'll probably play wth several over the next few weeks.

Once again, I appreciate the interest in advance... looking to be as informed as possible when it arrived on Wednesday so I can hit the ground running.

Take care.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarden:
Lol..., my questions are boring.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
I also came from the epic, and also loved odin. Haven't used it yet on my nexus but the only thing I've seen that is close to it is that samsung factory reset tool which is posted in the dev section

I am currently on 4.0.0.2 and love it. I believe the member who posted it built it from source and it is not the "official" version. That being said it works great and I definitely recommend it.

Not a fan of it personally. I figure if you know how to install your own recovery and flash your own roms it really doesn't serve much of a purpose. I never got really into using it but I really can't say anything bad about it... it does what it's supposed to do.

I don't really have a great answer for you here. I never had an issue with cwm sticking on my nexus while others have. If you check the "etc" directory there is supposed to be a file called "install-recovery.sh" If you have it, rename it and then cwm should stick.

Yes, fastboot causes the internal "sd card" to be erased, other then that I haven't come across any time that it happens. Obviously I would say YES backup your data anyway... you never know!

I did when I first got my phone, didn't have any issues. So yeah I would say restoring your game data after installing the game should be fine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmoreman:
dmarden,

I came from Epic also, and love it, not looking back. Even having trouble manipulating daughter and hubby's, they are slightly different, slower, and bigger!!

To answer your questions, one word of advise - watch, read, and re-read, then maybe ask before you download something. I am finding it VERY hard in these forums to distinguish which Nexus, gsm or cdma, and what applies. I made the mistake of unlocking bootloader (and I had a tough time) with a gsm, had not idea, and bricked it. Sprint wouldn't touch it, but found the Odin for Samsung's programs and got it back - but it seems no one here uses it.

I'm on my second, haven't unlocked it yet, but as far as customs roms go, no one from Epic is here except ShabbyPenguin (ACS) and none have done roms, just see them yacking and supporting. The only thing I miss is Roam Control (vacation home at edge of service).

I am really enjoying stock on both, no rom changes. The phone is super fast, has fantastic battery life, and no issues. These are the reasons I had to hack and rom the Epic. And it is also wonderful not to "update" and "maintain" the roms. I always had little issues, now I have none.

So my advise, try vanilla for awhile, add what you liked and used and see how smooth it runs. And love the smaller, more comfortable feel of the phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarden:
Yeah, perhaps I need to get out of the custom ROM mindset for a while.
