[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Hi i have just got my upgrade and got the htc sensation.

i am used to having the desire previously.....

what should i be doing with my sensation to start me off i mean in respect of root and custom roms or is the device good enough out the box running the original rom

thanks
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
If you do some reading you'll find that until we get S-OFF there are no custom ROMs and root is only on a temporary basis. For the most part, you're gonna be stuck with STOCK (which isn't bad) until HTC gives up the codes for S-OFF or XDA devs make a breakthrough.
[HTC Sensation] s0cc3rstud:
The phones good itself

I would not charge the rom, overclocking it will make it faster than it already is, which for me is a huge plus (+)!!!!! also root can make you sd run faster if you use those apps, I have class 10 16gb sd planning on get a class 10 32gb, but those app will make the SD card fun even faster, faster and powerful is better in my book!!!! Root will help get rid of the ads on the free app which make look look bad and the ads sometime slow down your phone!!!!
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
so you would recommend me doing temp root?

also what thing do i use to overclock or is that the method of rooting you would suggest the one that overclocks at the same time?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I have done it once,,, but did not do it again... i am happy as it is... ofcourse, I am awaiting the S OFF to use some finished custom roms!
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
Would you suggest over clocking it and if so how do I do it
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. No I wouldn't

2. Read the relevant thread in the dev forum
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
After spending nearly two months looking at all the various docks and stands and not particularly liking any of them as it's to go in the bedroom, and in an effort to try and stay away from device-specific accessories when possible :p, I decided to splash out (well, a whole £16.67 anyway) on a clingo sound sphere thingy thinking that it could be, erm, interesting.

Received it today and the shape is fantastic - not the colour though - white and grey plastic doesn't do it for me but nothing that some spray paint won't fix (it's out drying as I type - and yes, I did cover the clingy bit before spraying)...

The sphere rests on a separate rubber stand so that the viewing angle can be adjusted to anything (meaning you can also switch from portrait to landscape by repositioning the sphere) and there's also a hole at the back to thread a cable through.

There's only one thing that I don't like so much, and it's that the phone sits quite deep in the sphere making it a tad difficult for me to touch the screen given the length of my nails :rolleyes: ... will have to learn to use knuckles I guess but given that I plan on only using it as a night-stand, it will do the job just fine.

Will upload some pics once it's dry but in the meantime, here's a couple from the clingo website:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] uppon2:
Looks cool. Bit unusual but the shape would produce a nice sound from thew loud speaker :D - Thanks for sharing
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Well it is called "sound sphere" :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] peachpuff:
That would be perfect if it could wirelessly charge the phone at the same time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Yeah that would be excellent, but then it probably wouldn't be under £20 :p I've just tried with the cable plugged in the phone and it fits *just*, obviously not such a tight fit if you're not connecting it. Still, I'm rather pleased with my purchase :) especially now that it's a nice dark purple with a black stand.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] D_Mon88:
looks very cool. wound love to see your painted version. PURPLE AND BLACK! what a fantastic choice of colours!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Small delay I'm afraid... I need to second-coat it but given the abysmal weather I haven't been able to do it yet :( In the meantime though I've fashioned a cardboard extention for the central piece (which is actually a plastic tube that slides into the sphere) so that the phone doesn't sit so deep in the unit, making it much easier for me to use the screen with my nails and also leaves more room around the phone when it's plugged in :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rockambole:
i didn't like it... too ugly imo
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Wait until I've finished the restyling and posted the pictures before passing judgement ... you'll probably like it even less :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NoPompem:
I am looking forward to some photos. Tell me, is cutting a notch or hole a solution to the tightly fitting cable issue?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Right, some (not very good) pictures...

Pic 1: the central piece which slides into the sphere onto which the phone clings and the sphere on its stand... this is what you get in the box, except that mine is now sporting new colours :p

Pic 2: my high-tech cardboard extension to bring the central piece forward. It slides in just like the original piece and also has the same cut out for the cable. Once that's in place, it's just a case of putting the cable trough then sliding the original central piece on top of the extension

Pic 3: extension + cable + central piece in place

Pic 4: side view of the sphere

Pic 5: phone in place, now plenty of room for it to be plugged in without the top of the phone or the cable getting wedged against the sides :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NoPompem:
Nice job, might I reccomend doing a clear coat to make a little more pro.?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
I do have a satin top coat spray on standby (I really don't want a gloss finish), however the weather is not playing nice again today with gusty wind and rain threatening, which definitely aren't the best conditions for spraying... So once again I'll have to wait :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lewipeti:
Whats the sound like when you play music? Have been considering getting a speaker but if this sounded good it could be a good alternative.

Sent from my toilet.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Isadora:
Well it does sound better, though to be honest I'm probably not the best person to ask because when I play music on the phone, it's usually very low as background when I'm reading in bed. So depending on what you're after, speakers might be better - for me though it's perfectly adequate.
[Desire Accessories] grongo:
Hi,

Bought a Bluetooth car-kit speaker from Nexus to my HTC Desire.

Nexxus DriveUltra PRO Solar-Powered Multipoint Bluetooth Car Kit

hxxp://wxw.amazon.co.uk/Drive-Ultra-Pro-Bluetooth-Car/dp/B004FQUSDO

I'm very satisfied with the speaker, it syncs very quick with the phone, the sound it loud and clear enough to maintain a conversation in bumpy roads. One of the best features I found on this kit, is that it has embedded a solar panel that recharges to speaker battery. This feature allows me to recharge the speaker via usb only once in a few weeks.

[Desire Accessories] pittnuma:
Sorry for opening up this old post, do you still have it? I just bought 1 off ebay but without a manual and I cannot figure out what the menu button does.

Any ideas or know where I can download a manual?

Sounds are crisp and clear and according to the wife she can hear me fine aswell, just wish it would auto pair without having to keep your finger on the top button whilst you turn the bluetooth on.

Regards

DC

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Hey guys, I am on tapatlk and did a search but didn't find anything that helped me. I am trying to download from the market and am getting the error "Authentication failed log in to your google account", I am logged in to the account and can send and receive mail. I can neither open the Market or download items from the web version of the market. I have tried wiping data on the google apps, clearing cache and davlik, and multiple reboots. I have even tried restoring the market and its data with TB. I'm running prime 1.5 and I'm out of ideas, thought I would ask real quick for a solution before I reloaded prime. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick addition, i can access the market and install apps with my EVO just fine with the same account if it matters.

EDIT: Problem solved, I cleared data and cache for ALL google apps, setting, storage, accounts, etc, then rebooted to recovery and cleared cache and davlik. Then upon reboot presto everything started working again. Not exactly sure if this actually fixed it or if it was just a fluke, but thought I would post just in case it could help anybody in the future.

[HTC 7 Pro] ScrapMaker:
I can't deal with the missed calls, terrible speaker, and buggy camera software anymore... The UI is still sluggish even with dual cores... I am returning it before my 30 days, but I don't know if I will stick with the Arrive either. I am hoping I will be in love with WP7, but I am a bit annoyed that I will still have to pay the 4G fee, (essentially,) and won't have access to that network.
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Have you played with it in the store for a couple of minutes? It may not be the same compared to using it day to day, but you should still be able to make a reasonable judgment. Start by focusing the priorities of what you want out of a smartphone and look to see how each works/might work your needs.

But in my biased opinion I don't think you'd be unhappy with WP7 at all. Maybe the form factor of the device, especially if you like a big screen and thing device. The Arrive, obviously, doesn't have those. So if that's a big concern stick with your Evo 3D or maybe go back, save your upgrade and hope launches some new Mango phones this fall.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
wouldn't be crazy at all. the 3VO certainly has had quite a few issues that have been mentioned on here and on PPCG. the arrive is a great phone and its even better now that the mango beta is out in the wild. I find that u will not be disappointed with it.
[HTC 7 Pro] ScrapMaker:
I ended up not getting the Arrive either... I like how smooth it is, and they keyboard is great, but I just couldn't live with paying $10 more for no 4G... So I am borrowing my brother's old Palm Pre until the Photon comes out.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
alot of people are misunderstanding the $10 charge it is not for 4G it is for true unlimited data and its worth it considering the great phone the arrive is especially with the mango update.
[HTC 7 Pro] ms79723:
This man is correct. If you have a smartphone on Sprint..you have to pay the 10. I like how they come at people with this 10 dollars. Because they still say their data is 30 for unlimited, then they telll you you have to pay the 10..which looks better than looking at an ad and seeing 40 dollars for data.
[HTC 7 Pro] cardriver:
i thought i had to pay the additional 10 bux to have this phone but i dont. i also am on the old sero plan. the sprint site just let me activate without having to adjust my plan. maybe it will catch up with me but so far i havent had any adjustment done to my account. will provide updates when possible.
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Seriously? They didn't require you to upgrade to Sero Premium?
[HTC 7 Pro] cardriver:
It is SERO Premium. So I was originally on the $30 plan. then they gave me an option to pay 10 more bux back to allow me to use the "newer" devices when the palm pre and hero came out. I opted. so yes i guess i pay 10 bux but for 40 a month. im not gonna complain. now for some reason it appears that any phone i seem to activate on my account via the sprint website i am not prompted to change my plan. unless its a blackberry which of course needs BIS.

So maybe in a sense I am paying that 10 bux but i was told id have to pay additional before but when i tried to activate this phone i didnt get prompted for another change...i dont know maybe i just made it sounds kooler than it was....
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Remind me never to move to America with all these absurd charges mobile providers add on.

It's so much nicer in the UK where you pay what you pay and that's that...upgrade to a better phone and you'll still pay the same amount unless you agree to go up a price plan...
[HTC 7 Pro] Pandaman09:
Much nicer in the UK? In England if you want to watch TV you must pay a TV TAX of $250.00 per yr/household. The govt has people that drive around with devices that can detect if you're watching TV. If you haven't paid the tv tax they can put you in jail! Talk about ABSURD charges!

BTW, PLEASE never move to America!
[HTC 7 Pro] ScrapMaker:
So you don't have to pay a 4G / "Premium Data Fee"??
[HTC 7 Pro] cardriver:
as of right now...no i dont
[HTC 7 Pro] Aleki:
ditto

from what I remember, the extra $10/mnth was a foresight of the new "smartphone/premium data fee". the only thing it doesnt cover is the 4G service; however, you dont find me complaining :D
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Er...the £140 TV License fee you do have to pay if you want to watch live television, yes. In return, we get something called the BBC (oh, you get that too, don't you? We pay for that, remember), and a HUGE amount of broadcasting infrastructure...You can choose not to pay it. It is NOT a tax. They used to have devices that can detect if you're watching a TV, but considering it's nigh-on impossible to determine that with LCD/LED monitors they generally just pop round occasionally now. Unless you offend repeatedly, you are highly unlikely to get a jail sentence, more likely a fine of up to £1000.

I would much rather pay £140 for TV then pay no other costs except for equipment, than a monthly fee. I would also much rather pay £140 for TV than ANOTHER £10 a month for having a smartphone, considering in the US even the basic tariff is more expensive than the UK, AND you normally have to pay extra for the phone.

I can promise you I will never move to America. I'm done with arguing now.
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
You get BBC. We get PBS. Same net effect. We pay for it via taxes and not fees. Same net effect.
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Works for me :) let's close this and get back on track! Sorry everyone...seems the point I was trying to make didn't really come across...
[HTC 7 Pro] ScottSUmmers:
Only on pandaman, but yes back on track.
[HTC 7 Pro] god_forbids:
I hope you don't intend to activate that Pre on your account. It would be subject to the new fee if you did (see Sprint's comprehensive guide).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpdharley:
Posting here since I cannot yet post to the actual ROM forum.

I'm running the Synergy ROM, RC1 and have a couple of issues. First though, thanks to the DEVs for all of their time and efforts, this looks to be a very good ROM!

I've been through most of the 200+ pages on the ROM's thread and did not see any information that may help (except turning off auto rotate of the home screen), but it's possible I missed.

The main issues I have are slow response issues. They are:

Slow response when I pull down the navigation bar.

Slow response when hitting one of the soft buttons (i.e., the + button to launch the app specified by the settings in Rosie).

Very slow response when I come out of a game that was in landscape mode. It takes a couple of seconds for the screen to switch from landscape back to portrait (after flipping the phone to portrait) and then another few seconds for it to put all the icons back on the home screen (home screen is blank when I come out of the game). I did turn auto rotate off and that has helped, but was wondering why there was such slow response without it.

Google apps such as Maps and Calendar that are started by another application, but do not shut down the starting app exists. This, of course, drains the battery and was not an issue on the stock rom.

When I flashed the rom, I did do a factory reset and erased all other caches. My apps and app data (not system data) were restored via TB.

I have also frozen the following apps via TB:

Flash

All live wall paper apps

Stocks

Flickr

FM Radio

News

Stocks

Smoke & Visualization Wallpapers

Voice Dialer

Voice Search

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
When you flash a new rom, only restore Apps using titanium backup, restoring data too will cause problems.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
Absolutely correct. On top of this, the other reason you may be seeing slow response would be the fact that this is a very large rom, and takes up more space in your usable memory than most roms. What I have done to *somewhat* alleviate this issue when I'm running the synergy rom is to move all of the apps that I can (except for those that I use widgets from) to the SD card.

Just my recommendation
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpdharley:
My thought was that when restoring an app, such as WSOP Texas Hold'em, I also wanted to restore the data so it restored games won, amount of money, etc.

Is that data what you are saying I should lose when flashing new roms?

Thanks,

Mike
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpdharley:
Quite a few of my apps are on the SD card. I have 313MB free on the internal storage. Should that be enough to reduce some of the lag.

Thanks!

HELP!!! I flashed synergy rom last night and today, it goes to the boot animation screen and freezes. It just shows the synergy rom bouncing around and wont go anywhere from there. I tried doing a recovery through bootloader, but it wont let me move down from fastboot. Did I just brick my phone or is there any other way to get past this screen? can i plug my sdcard into the computer and delete this boot animation and if so, where would I find it? Please help, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chindogg:
Does anyone else have issues with anything that requires data syncing (Facebook, Twitter, SMS, etc) stopping unexpectedly? It seems to happen at around 30% battery and the only way I've consistantly stopped the problem is to wipe and reflash Synergy Rom.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekidkid32:
Yea Idk what's going on with it after about an hour I would get android.process has stopped and needs to force close. I can't even use any app as that constantly pops up. Great ROM but unusable at this point.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlokos:
Did you do a complete wipe before you installed it. Most of the issues I have seen arise because a complete wipe has not been performed. If you like the rom, do a complete wipe (factory, partition and dalvik) and reflash it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chindogg:
This is after a full wipe, twice. Once the battery gets to a certain point, everything starts crashing and never recovers no matter what I do. Battery pull, full charge, cold restart. Nothing works.

Edit: I've also noticed that the GPS is locked on and I cannot shut it off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekidkid32:
Yea I also did a full wipe two different times. I didn't notice it happening once the battery gets to a point I just know that after an hour or so of use it was unusable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paintboarder:
1. If you use DualRomX2 would that possibly speed it up? Because doesnt it install Roms on EMMC?

2. Im also really frustrated by the slow response on alot of things like right rosie button and notification pulldown.

3. Video recording for me is just awful. Im not sure about actual quality but the framerate for sure is horrible. I compared a video i shot on stock and with Synergy and there is a HUGE difference. Synergy video being much worse.

Great Rom just plenty of little annoyances.

Synergy ROM loading issue

Flashed Synergy ROM last week and was very impressed. However, saw where 3.0 Sense items were missing and realized after reading several other posts that the carousel +widgets.zip should have been loaded with the ROM. So I reloaded the ROM and widgets through AMON-RA Recovery (Followed all of the original instructions I had followed the first time I loaded the ROM). Everything looked fine until I rebooted the system. Now Synergy ROM start-up screen loops over and over. At this rate the fill battery I started with will run out, and I'm not sure what will happen at that point.

Anyone have any suggestions for this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Options:

a) Pull your battery, boot into recovery, format data/wipe cache/dalvik cache/format boot/format system, & flash a different rom.

b) Pull your battery, boot into recovery, format data/wipe cache/dalvik cache/format boot/format system, flash Synergy again, reboot.

c) Pull your battery then turn on your phone like normal.

d) Pull your battery then boot into recovery, wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, then boot into rom.

Edit: I don't use Amon_Ra, when I refer to "recovery" I was referring to CWM. Hopefully someone with experience comments in regards to Amon_Ra recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Yeah I don't have too many issues with it... last night it got kinda squirrely so I fixed permissions in recovery and re-flashed the Warm Theme without wiping any data, it's been all good ever since.

The ROM is my daily driver... I really do think that these issues are app-related. There is something that certain apps do that this ROM is not built for, I'm just not sure what it is. It's been real good to me overall though, battery life and all.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve615:
SlimSnoopOS, as it turned out I pulled the battery and rebooted into Recovery after a few hours, but thanks for the direction. These were the exact things I did. The reason I used AMON-RA instead of CWM is that Synergy says in a number of places that it only loads with AMON-Ra (and I'm a coward!),
