That's my whole argument. HTC ruined this phones performance by adding to much useless eye candy to Sense when in my opinion should have taken a minimalist approach like Touch Wiz. Sense is fine once we get hardware acceleration but not right now. By what HTC has been saying, it looks like the Sensation isn't getting root until September which means we wont have a stable CM until late October and by that time, the Adreno 220 will be outdated hardware. Tegra III will be right around the corner and so will Samsungs next beast of a processor. Bone stock, Samsung ripped the competition with the Hummingbird and there doing it again with Exynos....I'm just calling it like I see it. By the wsu. What happends when the GSII gets a stable CM? I think Samsung gave him a GSII for free. That right there is what I'm talking about. Samsung is giving great DEVS free phones while HTC tried locking them out and only folded to this community's pressure. They shouldn't have done it in the first place.

You are part of a research group with this attitude?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I'm not an Samsung fan boy or an HTC fan boy, but you have to be a little delusional to think Samsung doesn't take design cues from Apple. Look at the proprietary connector for they use for their tablets, even.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I doubt the Adreno 220 will be outdated by then. It's a really powerful GPU (can push up to 88 million triangles per second) and when developers start developing for it, you'll be able to see the true power of it.

To add to my point, last generation GPUs are still relevant today. They still develop games with the Adreno 200 in mind. Some of the more popular phones still use the second generation GPUs (SGX540, Adreno 205) today (Infuse 4G, Droid Charge, Thunderbolt, Desire HD, etc). ****, the GeForce ULP (GPU inside of Tegra 2) is technically a second generation GPU and you can argue that the SGX540 is at least on the same level on it, if not better.

Just because the newer generation processors will be out by then does not mean phone manufactures will start using them so soon. The Tegra 2 came out in Q1 2010 but the first device to utilize it came out almost an year later. The MSM8x60 came out in Q3 2010 but the first phone with it came out in Q2 2011. Don't worry, the CPU inside of the Sensation will have a decent lifespan.
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
I personally really think HTC hit a home run with the ALU body of the Sensation. My Galaxy S was a nice phone, but I was getting sick of the plastic feeling TBH. Now my wife is using the Galaxy S and she seems to like it a lot more than the G1 she was using!! :D

I could have waited for the GS2 but for how long? I was also wondering HOW MUCH better the phone was hardware wise, because honestly I don't need the power that the Galaxy S had let alone the flagship dual core phones of today! ... and until we have an android phone that is running EXACTLY the same OS without an overlay or anything, we shouldn't be so foolish to bench them against each other!

My point is that it's pretty useless to argue over which phone is "better". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you can't change that. Just go with what you like! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Dont get me wrong man I dont know your actions personally just kinda morphing some observations together. I agree with you about how HTC did this. 1st phone I was giddy. 2nd very pissed off. Now I'm happy again since I finally got a phone with a good speaker and other hardware. My only problem with the SGS2 is the appearance - too iphonish- and materials. I believe you that its more polished. Sense3 is like having a beautiful wife who loves you with all her heart but is frigid and stupid. Someone should go to jail over releasing that crap.

All that said - my phone is a porn star with immunity to all stds and AIDS.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
lol thats what hightech phones are for - hiding the fact that you actually are still getting *****. I'm not mad. Just sad to see healthy young retards arguing over **** as arbitrary as their favorite color. :)

PS - learn how to use quotes on forums tough guy

not flaming here at all just jokes
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I've had a significantly different experience from most people on XDA with my latest phone and between the three I've had. First one was decent but Sense was unreliable and the power button was broken. Second had a screen flaw but was good. The current one has a great loud speaker, insane battery time, flawless operation, no connectivity issues. It's pretty much perfect. I dont use Sense though. If I heard myself describing the experience while I still had the first phone Id swear I was bullshitting. I'm not sure what the average user's experience is.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Mine's pretty good.

You're saying that each time you got a new phone,they performed successively better?

There's one thing I'm wondering and it's a firmware programming issue [IIRC].

It used to screw up certain computer processors until they implemented changes [both AMD and later Intel].

I wonder if it's buggering up the performance of the mobile processors as well? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
After having the vibrant wit all the issues it had I'll try my best to stay away from Samsung. No complaints wit my Sensation, does ME fine and long as it does more than the iOS I'm cool.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Each one got better with the exception of the glass flaw in the 2nd unit. The first unit was very buggy OS wise even after factory reset. The 2nd was so much better I wondered if there was a processor or memory qc issue. The 3rd unit confirmed it for me. It's such a different experience with the phone I have now that it can't be software/config related. All the same apps reinstalled from the market (much better with that than my N1 stock too). Same config. I had experimented with alternate launchers with the first phone and I'd still get Sense crashes when changing the ringtone. Battery performance is also much different. I would lose 30% configuring notifications and ringtones over 25 minutes on the first 2 phones.

That rush to market took this phone down a few notches. Right now I'm happy so I will swap build quality* for some benchmark points on a phone that isn't available. If I waited for a US SGS2 I'd end up waiting for a Nexus Prime.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I've had 4 Sensations and each one has performed differently from the UI responsiveness to the display to the speaker. My latest one that has a date of 6/4 and have been using it a month has been the best unit by a long shot. I don't have the wifi deathgrip nor have I encountered the lock screen/touch screen issue like I did on my last 3. I don't use Sense because I never really liked it and I'm not about to start liking the worst version of Sense yet. I like more customization so I use ADW which also makes my Sensation as fast as my G2X.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I don't get the quote thing.
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
Well samsung has been sued by apple two times, that I know of, because of how much the galaxy s 2 resembles the iphone. There's 2 reasons...
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
It *sounds* like yourself and GorillaPimp are experiencing what I kind of suspected when I first started reading this board.

I think HTC rushed this phone to market in an effort to beat the competition out making adjustments along the way - hence the need for "Tell HTC".

I see the new Samsung,LG,Apple,etc. phones coming out and it makes sense.

I can even see a new dual core coming from RIM,but don't quote me on that one.

It's just too bad HTC doesn't know how to run a dual core processor.

You MUST have been drinking when you posted this. There isn't a single (other than MotoBlur but thats a different discussion) UI available on a Android Cell Phone that is FURTHER from Vanilla Android. It looks NOTHING like, acts NOTHING like vanilla android.

Do you even know what Vanilla Android looks and feels like? I'm not talking about CM, I'm talking Vanilla since that is what you brought up. Think G1, Mytouch3G, Nexus One, G2. Those are Vanilla. If you do know it, how can you even come close to saying it looks ANYTHING simalar?

These are just Home screen desktop pictures, not the actual OS itself. Yeah, they are close. Sorry HarmonyK, stole your picture and edited it!
[HTC Sensation] bubigrega:
I like this comparison girl -> SGS2, woman -> HTC Sansation (or boy / man). As I'm already 34 I prefer refined all round more experienced and polished adult.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I think its the closest UI to vanilla and so do a million other tech blogs. It doesn't give you the ****ty ass eye candy that Sense gives you and the screen transition effect is not altered. There is less going on with TW which makes it closer to vanilla. It is also why TW performs better than Sense. There is less going on. It doesn't have to look exactly like vanilla android to be the closest to vanilla Android. Even though it looks more vanilla like than any other UI. Do you think Sense looks more vanilla like?
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
your response was inside of my comments that you quoted

just bull****
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
never used tw but its not surprising that it's lightweight considering how they iPhonesized the interface. The memory usage discrepancy between NonSense3.0 and TW is probably enough to account for most of the lag. Add in optimization and its no contest. Samsung has their **** together. Although I am happy with the S4G I'm pissed that HTC is pulling the same ol crap with hardware not being used to its potential.

I think I'm going to ask the CEO of HTC whether or not they are going to update the S4G with accelerated apps and better drivers like the SGS2.
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
If this is the case, which I highly doubt it is, it certainly took them long enough to finally make it happen! ::coughcough::Behold 2, Galaxy S::coughcough::

GorillaPimp, please don't take offense at this post. It's just that based on my personal experience, Samsung most definitely does NOT have its **** together.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I think he meant drivers and optimization of the SGS2 is way better than what htc did to the sensation. SGS2 design sucks big time though. I'd buy it if it weren't so ugly! :eek:
[HTC Sensation] r0cky0790:
Non Biased-

I don't even belong in here because I own a E3D and of course very similar to the sensation. I once read in the very informative XDA forums (or what's left of it) that the SGS2 is faster because both of the cpu's are always active, oppose to the E3D/Sensation, it only uses the sencond CPU as needed. If you guys want to argue in regards to 'stock' I would have to go with the SGS2. Yes a very non attractive device, but when it comes to performance it is what it is. On the flipside, when root hits for both the sensation and E3D I think it would leave SGS2 in the dust. Just because we will be able to utilize both cpu's @ the same time. Even though benchmarks really doesnt matter, I hang on the SGS2 a** and im overclocked at 1.8 ghz with launcher pro. Sense can be a memory hog, but every phone has its gripes. Never actually used touchwiz so I really can't say much on that but like I said before the design isn't really that good on the SGS2. It kind of looks Like that Samsung phone that US cellular had a few yrs back. So when it comes to looks, I'm riding with HTC.

if i wanted an iphone id buy one , i dont care how many milliseconds faster the sgs2 is ,its an ugly ripoff of iphone and apple is currently suing samsung becaues of it ...my sensation is the best phone in the world because it is the one i use to make phone calls

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
The Behold IJ was the biggest phone **** up in the history of Android. The Galaxy S was a good phone minus the GPS. If memory serves me correct, didn't its Hummingbird CPU blow the doors off of the Snapdragon at the time? Also don't forget about the Nexus S. That's a good device aswell. Samsung has improved tremendously since the Behold II fiasco and started listening to its customers. Instead of making Touch Wiz more intrusive over the years, every iteration gets less intrusive. Unlike HTC which makes Sense more intrusive with each update. Not to mention they have added this nonsense eye candy to appease to the masses.

Ooohhh...I want that Sensation girlfriend. It looks pretty and does all those beat little things on the screen.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Sorry. Sometimes when I quote in my phone and tap the display I tap it in the wrong place.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Not offended :) just a convo - there's a lot I don't know and I don't mind becoming better informed

^^^^That -

Cosign all of that. Some people don't mind Sammy's physical design so I viewed that part as a matter of personal opinion. If their phones have other problems people aren't talking about I haven't heard of them. I do remember their upgrade lies from a yr or two ago.

If the SGS2 looked like the Sensation I'd be buying it.

No I was not plugged into the usb, I have also tried rebooting, I rebooted into the recovery and cleared both cache files. I also tried repair permissions.

No luck, I am pretty sure this started when I got stuck in a boot loop between builds then I had to odin back to stock and wipe data.

Afterwards I restored from my miui backup then this occurred.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
I highly suggest Amazon. It's $398 there also and if you have a prime account you get free 2 day shipping.

Amazon has by far the best customer service out of any supplier I have ever purchased anything from. If you have any problems at all the CS takes care of it fast and easily.

I tend to get as many electronics as possible from Amazon because they give me an ease of mind should anything go wrong with the device I know there won't be any hassle to return it.

Also, there is no sales tax (at least here in texas there isn't not sure about where you are located) making the price almost equal to the bestbuy deal I believe.

Optimus Prime offers the best advise. Buy it where you have the best return policy. I am on my second TF and some members have returned theirs multiple times for different issues. My screen died and the new one I replaced it with has worse screen light leaks than the first one and I would like to return it if it gets any worse. Get yours where you will be able to return it without any hassels if you need to. On the TF, I would probably advise buying the 1 year replacement insurance from your retailer so you don't have to box it up and send it off to Asus repair facilty in Texas after your standard 30 day retailer warranty policy expires.

You do not need to install CM7 stable. You can go right ahead and flash a nightly.
