[HTC Sensation] Mattybomba:
I went for the sensation because of the size. I'm glad its not bigger, I even would prefer 4" but there are no good phones in that size.
[HTC Sensation] tanman1975:
Neither.

Hold out for the HTC Ruby.

Ruby appears to be what the Sensation should have been.

//that said, I'm not disappointed that I didn't wait. Sensation was well worth it. Very happy with thus far. But as my phone is still in pristine condition, I'll probably sell it and get the Ruby when I can.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Nah, the Ruby is only slightly better due to more memory and faster data speeds. Who really needs that much more memory? And, who has a data network connection that can provide 42Mb/s?

I would hold out for the Nexus Prime, IF I were to hold out. I came from the Mytouch 3G WITHOUT the regular headphone jack. Yup, the FIRST one. So I was ready to upgrade to the Sensation on its launch date! :D

If I was on the fence, I would just skip to the Nexus Prime as I hear it will be neat. (May even try to sell my Sensation to get it)
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
I was implying I want to see ANY device that has it. :)

I like SAMOLED+ when it's not that blue hue, and if the color saturation is turned down a touch... but I like qHD more. I would just like to see a good merge of the two.
[HTC Sensation] DaClowns:
WAIT!

I have the sensation, however I really would hold off until the Herc arrives.

I switched from my Galaxy S Vibrant for an HTC Sensation, as I wanted to try something new, an HTC phone. The Sensation looked good, so I sold my vibrant and got the sensation.

Sure, the sensation has it's pros, but honestly, it has too many little things wrong with it in my opinion.

The hardware is bad. It creaks and is so light I could crush it in the palm of my hand.

The phone however, rooted with InserCoin ROM is faster than I could ever imagine. No lag at all, and gaming is smooth.

Some games that is... I'd say ever 1 in 10 games I download do not work on the sensation.. the screen is too big or something and the game just fits 1/4 of the screen and controls are messed up.

I loved my vibrant so much, and although it is older technololgy, I think it was much better designed, even though the HTC is a much more new and fast phone.

Im my opinion, the phone gets 6/10 stars.

If I were you and I had not already bought the phone, just wait. The Herc is going to be amazing it looks like, and I'm probably going to switch to it in the future.

If I helped you, please take the 2 seconds it does to hit thanks!

(ALL OF THIS IS MY OPINION)
[HTC Sensation] AllGamer:
that is very interesting, about some of the games not stretching properly to the full screen, i wasn't aware of that bug on the Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
I haven't had that problem. To the OP, I think both are awesome devices. I would still choose HTC over Samsung for build quality. Sensation still is IMO the best T-Mobile phone out, even after the Hercules is released :p
[HTC Sensation] AllGamer:
the LG 2X is not bad at all once loaded with CM7 or any of its customized flavours

it's a very decent phone, and it can be OCed to 1.7 Ghz, but i'll stay at 1.6 Ghz to be on the safe side ;)

only the stock ROM from factory sucks arse, with the random shutdown, and all the other problems reported by the users.

I was considering getting a 2X as well, until i saw news about the upcoming SGS2 from Telus / T-mobile, same $ but lot more hardware & power to go
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezegm:
Do we get that backup thing in the settings? Because I'm using CM7 and was wondering if that would work when we finally get it or not because the official will have Sense and this is stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Backup to Google's servers? If I remember correctly, this wasn't in our original rom (I haven't been stock in ~1 year). I don't know if they'll add it. Check out the Gingersense leak that rmk has posted and see if it has it there!

Actually if you press the Options Key (Left One) you can organize the log... but thats not what we are searching :( maybe it helps i dont know? :D
[Galaxy S II General] bert3227:
yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....

We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not... :)
[Galaxy S II General] vtec303:
it is really annoying, may be a dev can help us get rid of this
[Galaxy S II General] sunwee:
i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.

Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
Hello people,

I recently installed GalaxySense Rom (Search "oozeroo" on Google) for my Samsung Captivate AT&T, and it was working fine, until I changed a few settings, then it said it was going to Hot Boot, so the hot boot worked fine. Then, I turned off my phone and turned it back on, and it does not boot. I tried some stuff (check the Situations). My phone is stuck at "Galaxy S Cyanogen(Mod)" (Picture Included!!!)

Situation:

-No Download Mode

-No recovery mode

-Flashed this rom with rom manager (wiped dalvik cache only)

-TRIED installing Clockworkmod recovery, but wont work (not booting into recovery)

-Only an internal SD inside phone, 14 Gigs.

(Ask me for more info if needed please)

Thank you so much, and please help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
What key combo are you trying for recovery? You have a JIG laying around? If not, I'd go get one regardless of how invincible you think your phone may be. Maybe you could try Adam's one-click unbrick. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 I don't know what conditions need to be met for it (your phone) to be recognized, but I'd give it a shot anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
I am using:

take out battery, hold both volume buttons, plug in USB, then put in battery, all with both volume buttons held the whole time.

No, I do not have a jig, I want to get one though

-I do not care to erase everything I have, I tried using Odin3 one click downloader, it worked for me once, when my phone actually went download mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
remove sim and microsd. You have to have your batt back in before you hold volume+- and insert USB :P

what recovery key combo you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
still nothing buddy, tried your technique :(

thanks dude

i did try returning it, but they didnt accept it (costco), NOT because I had another romm installed... but because it wasnt booting!

-although, I do not have the battery sign show up, it just has the circle, then it goes to galaxy s screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
Dont have linux :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
post as much as you want on this thread, i dont really care

any other ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Well..... has galaxysense been actually ported to the captivate yet? I doubt this'll work but.... try vol down + home + power. You could vary vol down with vol up for recovery mode as well. Like I said.... doubt they'll work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
It has ported to captivate, there is a captivate section on website

Home button? you mean the touchscreen/virtual home button? When do you press it:when it lights up?

-btw, i tried the brick fix thing, but it didnt recognize my phone, because it was only booting
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
There's a reason I didn't think it'd work lol. Those are i9000 key combos lol. Get a jig imo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
what are the sgh-i897 combos?

can you go into safe mode with this?

and my home button question please?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Yeah I meant that virtual key. cappy combos are vol up/down + power for recovery mode for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
no recovery for me :(

actually, at first, I had no recovery on my new rom, so... (I dont want to tell you this!) but I looked for a stock recovery, and I put it over the old recovery file in the system.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Do you know if you flashed 3 button? try vol up vol down power. hold those while inserting usb
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
nothing dude yet, i did not flash the 3 button fix, (oops!)

i did notice that, when the phone is booting up, and I connect, the phone is half recognized with computer, and yes I did install drivers.

If i go to device manager, it says Captivate, but with a yellow exclamation mark
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
have to go to, talk to you tommorow morning!

thanks buddy, i appreciate it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
I wonder if it'd be recognized by ADB if you install Nexus S drivers. try using that as the drivers for the marked captivate in dev manager. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#

If it changes name to Android Composite ADB interface, then you can ADB into recovery and reflash. I don't see how but if you don't have a jig.... might as well try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
(just raised your thanks meter!)

can I cut off an old charger that fits the captivate, and use that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
For a JIG? Possibly. You have to jump pins 4 and 5 with 300k worth of resistors. if you look in my sig, there's also a guide to just making one without a USB. Regardless of how you apply the resistance to your phone, you still need 301k. There is a window. I've seen 294k jigs work, so just as long as resistance is in a certain range across those two pins, it will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
ok, thanks

I tried adb rebooting, but says error device not found

(same thing happened when my device was working and on)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
I think my computer is confused, because it has sense on it, but is a samsung

(because this rom is a port)

-also, if i cut off the old wire, will the wires still be inside the casing of the connection portion?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
You can't adb reboot download anyway if galaxysense is really based off of CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
how many ohms are the resistors? lot of websites say different things!!

- what if i use the basic 128?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
The norm is to use 3x 100k ohm. just as long as your bridged resistance is ~301k. You honestly don't even need a wire or end. Just some steady fingers lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you are using cheap Radio shack resistor with 5% tolerance isolate where you are holding them. First time I gave it a go it keep trying to boot up and not go in to download mode till i used some black tape to isolate my fingers. On how much resistance the correct number is 301k Ohms though it should start working ~286K to 307K.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
can i use three 100k ohms, tie them together, and connect to 4 and 5 pin?

btw, i ripped off the usb portion from a universal car charger that came free with this (i dont use car chargers), and this is what it looks like: (attachments)

(I want to use 100k, because there aren't any 300k at radioshak.com!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Thats what i used 3 100kohms and 1 1kohm resistor from radio shack
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
Hey check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128

You think that will work? It is without cutting up USB.

-Please reply ASAP because I might go to radioshack today
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Ya it should, though I wouldn't start jamming resistors in the usb plug on the phone, done wrong it can damage it. Depends on your level of confidence and how steady can you keep your hands. Id still recommend getting a usb plug else where and working with that, but that's just me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
so, if you are steady, it is ok?

Dont you need 301k, not 300k?

Should I isolate my fingers, or something like that? -Can i wear rubber gloves? regular tape on fingers?

Do you need to put the tips at 4 and 5 pin?

and is 1/4 watt resistors ok?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsilvan55:
If you are patient you can get a professionally made one off of ebay for like 8 bucks ;). Oh and when i flashed CM7, my computer also recognized my captivate as Captivate with a yellow ! but then i downloaded the nexus drivers and clicked update drivers on the "Captivate" and redirected it to the Nexus drivers folder and then it worked
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:

From froyo, did u flash CM7/MIUI? Then boot into recovery wipe system, data, datadata, cache as told in the thread i made? I switch between a private ROM of mine, GalaxySense, GalaxyComb, MIUI, and CM7, all the time without going back to stock. So there is recovery and there is download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
i went on galaxysense, and just flashed that, from stock, i used rom amanger

i canreinstall sense.

actually, i have a captivate, but can i install galaxysense

can i flash back to stock if there is no download mode? but the phone actually boots?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Flash CM7 or MIUI, after wiping what i have said several times. Then u should go into download mode and flash stock and start fresh. And ask if u dont know what to do so u dont brick ur phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Dowload AIO toolbox and install drivers from tht program, works wonders!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
the sense went fine, but i tried installing cm7 through recovery, it said success, so i reboot, and there is a boot loop.

it shows the galaxy s cyanogenmod, then goes to some recovery message, and quickly goes away
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Um flash sense after formatting all the places i said, and then try going into download and flashing stock, sometimes u have to connect and disconnect multiple times from the computer(i do) b4 it works
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
what button you use for download mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Either try

1. Volume up and down, plug in USB cable

2. Volume down and power

Cant remember which one it is
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Did they work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I wouldn't do it couse u can damage your phone's usb connector. BUT ya gloves or black tape would isolate, and yes you need to make sure your touching 4th and 5th pin and ONLY those 2 pins else it wont work. As for the resistance 301k ohms is the recommended but i read somewhere it should work anywhere from 287k-307k ohms. Again you should consider getting a USB plug somewhere else so u don't damage your phone's connector.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvasavda:
No, no download mode :(

So yeah, after the phone came back to life I did install sense, that worked.

Then, I went into recovery, and installed zip from sd for:

Cyanogenmod 7 (latest build) nightly captivatemtd.

Then, the installation ended at the BMT/ECD check, whatever it was called?

After, it just said installation complete, so I rebooted my phone and, viola, it went into boot loop.
