Well I can tell you my Sensation remains at full bars of WiFi all throught my house and outside of my house. Look back through my posts and you will see a video I made, showing the power of the Sensations WiFi. I also hold it in landscape, showing there is no death grip issue with mine. Yes I was 2 floors away from my router when shooting this video and it was proved in the video. Every manufacture makes buggy devices. You can't expect to get a perfect device anymore in today's market. My past 5 phones had to be returned multiple times a piece just to get a device with none or minimal bugs.

On the other side of the table. My wife had the G2X as well. She then saw my Sensation and wanted it so I sold her G2X and bought her a Sensation. She couldn't be happier and hasn't reported any problems to me. Trust me, she knows what bugs are and she will tell me about them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Uhhh for the longest time it was indeed OFF OF TM's site. I just checked yesterday and it wasn't on there at all. Now it's back on, therefore, it's ironic that I happen to be at TM Corporate store yesterday talking with a guy from Corporate that happened to be there and he did specifically mentioned that, (paraphrasing) "regarding the G2X, there are many reason for why it was pulled off before the launch of the sensation. It wasn't due to any hardware related issues, more software actually. The G2X was actually the fastest selling phone nationwide, which supply and demand may have been a contributing factor for it being pulled for a while. He did mention the improvements on the screen for the newer batches of the G2X, which is another reason adding to the why's...."

It was a good 10min convo...all paraphrasing of course, but at any rate, it doesn't take too much brain power to realize the reasoning(s) and in the G2X's case, IMO it's all pretty practical rather than theory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
:D Not super secret info, but yes...did converse with someone from corporate (the real corporate) in person at my local TM store for a while. It was a good chat.

I too had both phones, before I returned the Sensation yesterday. I agree, it's no slouch, but then again there are more areas than one where it really lacks the smoothness like the G2X. Taking and browsing photos especially.

In the end, it's all a matter of personal preference. Like a few people already said, I'm not tied into a contract and am fortunate enough to buy every phone as they are released, so being biased is not in the equation for me as I'm sure for others who are not tied down as well...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I just checked at 2:29pm (1429) PST on Tuesday...still there....wonder what that means...makes no sense at all to me....this post that is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquaitious:
Bunch of whiners?

I'm sorry, but paying 500 bucks for a phone that lacks a decent GPS, has constant rebooting (or shutting down completely) problems and serious screen bleeds are NOT made up.

Call up T-Mobile yourself and find out that these are all facts. All three are known issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Your Sensation wasn't smooth when taking pictures? I think something might have been wrong with your device because when I snap a picture its instant. It takes gge photo the second I press the shutter button since the camera is constantly focusing where as my G2X needs to focus after u press the shutter button resulting in a 2-3 second delay. Recording video in full HD @ 1080 is also very smooth. I've never seen the slightest bit of lag when using the camera on the Sensation. Wish Sense itself didn't lag but I'm not really a Sense fan anyway. When it comes to the quality of photos and videos, I also think the Sensation has the edge. Especially when it comes to recording due to it recording sound in stereo rather than mono. Playback on you TV or computer sounds perfect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
I posted this yesterday after you made this thread, are you telling me it magically re-appeared around 11pm or later? Why would they update their website that late?

Anyway, every time I hear people say its off the site I check and it's always there, this is the third time ive checked. It says out of stock, but so does the sensation. So are you going to tell me that the sensation is gone now too or what?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Off wouldn't be the proper word. I was meaning that it was N/A...I know huge difference, heck I was tired when posting.

Folder Organizer is the free app on Amazon today. Just wanted to point it out because some people were missing the desktop folders, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JosepiOT:
For a folders app, it wants waaaaay too much in the permissions area.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Mean Sixteen:
Personally I use "smart shortcuts" works great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] aatrek:
Well, it needs the phone calls permission so that you can direct dial from the contacts folder (if you use that).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] darkonex:
Folder Organizer ownz your face
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
if u use this make sure u use simple theme and normal icons, the others kills the fluid scrolling speed and looks like crap
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Bought this app two months ago. Sad to see it going free, but I highly suggest buying it from the market. Cheap app and the dev updates the app frequently.

Amazon is meh when it comes to updates via App Store.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
I have noticed this in some instances too. However, it looks like the Amazon version and Android Market version are the same in this case. Happy downloading to those that don't have it yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] aatrek:
It's just free for the day, I believe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Yup that is correct. Offer goes away 12 AM PDT (3 AM EDT).

@Artood2s: Yeah they're the same. It's just Amazon has to approve the app of being updated (etc) via its App Store. It is most noticeable for Angry Birds.

It also sucks for people who bought SwiftKey on Amazon. The app has been removed from Amazon and no signs of SwiftKey X being available.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Artood2s:
Don't get me wrong. If price is the same/close on both markets, I'll buy from the Android Market everytime. Much more likely to get updates first. Just pointing out that for now, Folder Organizer is the same on both. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
if it wasent for the free apps amazon appstore wouldnt have a chance
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Yeah I'm not arguing you with on there. It's a good deal.

@cowballz69: Agreed... that and exclusive app launch such as Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies, etc.
[HTC Sensation] ashandarey:
Hi there,

dunno if anyone start thread like this but I wanna ask can someone recommend me a decent solar charger for my sensation. I google it a lot, but I wanna know yours opinions and experience

Thanks a lot
[HTC Sensation] leighaus:
Waste of money mate. Barely get any charge from such a small panel
[HTC Sensation] the-bobcat:
powertraveller.com/iwantsome/primatepower/powermonkeyextreme/

Of course they have cheaper smaller versions too, but I would recommend this because of the ample capacity of it's battery.
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Waist of money, but if you have some small soldering skills, you could do what i have done, one of this :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200617398704&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

And one :http://cgi.ebay.com/5V-700mA-Solar-...ltDomain_0&hash=item3368ecd49f#ht_7577wt_1037

Solder this up, and you got yourself a charger that is nearly as powerful as the mains charger in sunlight, and still being able to charge while its cloudy! :D
[HTC Sensation] ashandarey:
this looks very good, thanks
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
Get the - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dynamo-hand-crank-cell-phone-emergency-charger-3669 instead :D
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Oh that one is rubbish, i have one myself :p but do as i did, and make your own, it charge it full in 3 hours! :D
[HTC Sensation] EssexboyRacer:
I've got one of these. They are one of the few solar solutions that can actually work. Can only be bettered if you go for a DIY solution as suggested but if you want something neat out of the box this is the way to go!
[HTC Sensation] Curious!:
Be careful with solar chargers on ebay and dealextreme. i ordered two for my old inspire 4g. First, I made it wait for 10-12 hours in sun to charge its internal battery. Then i plugged the charger to the phone. It just charged for 1 min. Then, i thought something went wrong and i looked inner parts of the charger and I was shocked. The battery was a cheap-old-used nokia battery. There is nothing about to be trustworthy. The other charger had some different battery but it was also some cheap-crap. I am going to test the pannels for the output current and voltage. I will combine them to get a good current but i dunno if are they working. I will test them in the lab
[HTC Sensation] qw_haoyun:
agree with you
[HTC Sensation] coniferous:
I've found that unless you are in super bright sunlight on the middle of the beach when the sun is directly above you that solar panels usually give off less then half of what they are rated for. When you put it through a booster you loose a bit of that too.

I think a better halfway point would be to use the solar to charge up a rechargeable battery then put that through to boost converter. Kinda of like done here: adafruit.com/blog/2010/07/09/how-to-make-a-solar-mintyboost-a-solar-power-charger-for-your-gadgets/

that way you don't risk loosing power every time a cloud flies overhead.
[HTC Sensation] ukbt:
I don't have much money
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
You won't loose power with my solution :) as it will still charge when its cloudy ;)

Its cheap too!

Hi all,

I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] savacs:
I have managed to brick my X10 mini pro by trying to instal CWM Recovery, and now am stuck at SE logo screen.

So far i've tried:

1. Seus - it says my x10 mini pro is up to date and no update available

2. PC Companion - i tried the repair option, but in the end it doesn't let me repair

3. FlashTool - tryed flashing original kernel, new kernel, 1.6android kernel.... and after flashing it keeps getting me to reboot it, and activate debugging mode, which i can't because i'm still stuck at SE logo screen

4. Omnius - payed for a 1 day licence. I can flash it, but still nothing happens. I can't flash read my SE, and can't find any repair option in it...

Is there anything that can whipe it clean, and put the original stuff back again? Or any other solution?

P.S. I can't turn of the screen, not even with home+backbutton+power, only if i get the battery out.

I never thought the repair option in PC Companion wouldn't work if i ever bricked my phone, but ... as I can see for myself it doesn't :(.

Thank you in advance... hope to get it running, even if it costs me some money:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kormatoes:
And once again seus ! But remeber seus is not pc companion

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Hey there,

If you take out your battery for over a minute and then put it back in, it should stop trying to boot up.

Also, when u connect your phone to the computer while keeping the back button pressed, SEUS should be able to install stock software/firmware regardless of it's opinion that u already have the latest.

This thread is very detailed about unbricking your phone too --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040149 (helped me lots before as well)

and you might also wanna install the file added to this thread's openingspost --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030902

Goodluck with your phone
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onclebob:
Hi,

I experienced today a strange behavior:

I used my nook, turn off wifi, let it in my bag for 1 or 2 hours and when i tried to wake it the screen didn't turn on.

At first i though it was SOD but when i looked closer to the screen there was something on it, it was the CM7 boot logo (the tony hawks droid :)

The logo was not very visible, most like old "ghost image" on CRT screen when he same image is displayed for long periods of time.

I should have taken a photo, i will if it reproduce.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
Kinda sounds like it was rebooting without turning on the backlight. Could you see the arrow circling? I've had "n" turn on the backlight with no image, but tapping power turns off the backlight, then tapping it again turns the screen on properly.

Sounds like somebody's state machine has a leak...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onclebob:
i will never know (i pressed power 8s, if it was booting, i just stopped it)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
Hey, this is my first boot and down animation for the HTC Desire HD.

It's made to match the splash screen which i made available here too.

**PLEASE NOTE. I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong. The install methods below are not mine, they just worked for me**

Boot Animation Preview

Boot Animation preview - actual animation is a lot smoother than this

Down Animation preview - actual animation is a lot smoother than this

----------------------------------------------------------------------

bootanimation.zip goes in /data/local/

easiest method is:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

or copy bootanimation.zip to your sd card and move the file to /data/local/ with Root Explorer

----------------------------------------------------------------------

downanimation.zip goes in /system/customize/resource/

easiest method is to copy the downanimation to your sd card and use the following:

adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system/customize/resource
# cp /sdcard/downanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
# chmod 755 /system/customize/resource
#exit

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the instructions here or hereto install the Splash image.

I have also attached the wallpaper to match. Hope you like it :) The wallpaper can be saved from the preview image, all other files must be downloaded from the attachments
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] hXc71:
Hi,

Downanimation can be copied as the bootanimation, using Root Explorer?

Thx ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mattmiller:
What do you set permissions to?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
You can try, but it might look a little weird when on boot up the animation says shutting down :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
I just have both set as 755. Not sure if it makes a difference!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mattmiller:
I mean once you use file explorer, what do you set the read/write settings to? Ex:rw-r-r?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
rwxr-xr-x is what mine is set to.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] kscheah:
Hi,

How exactly can do that?

Any step by step guide?

Sorry if this question is too noob to be answered.

Thanks...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
Is your phone rooted? and if so, do you have Root Explorer?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mattmiller:
What's the x's? I no option for x's
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mark_1000:
R is Read, W is Write, X is Execute. What file explorer are you using?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] lostarchon:
I hope there will be an Inspire version of this :D For now, I'll still use it~
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] GiZmo80:
Reboot screen is now black....

Any issue?

Did it 100% as u explained above

bootanimation and Splash1 wrks great only downanimation won´t

EDIT:

Got it... i´v typed chmod 777 instead of 755....

Now it works like a charm

THX
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Twinspark156:
No need for commands on Downanimation...

just copy it to the root of your SD card

open root explore mark the downanimation.zip and copy to /data/local overwite if the file already there .. agin mark the downanimation.zip the choose permissions and in read mark owner - group - others.. and in write just mark owner.. then push ok and its saved.. :-)

worked for me .. sorry for my bad english :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] lenn0nade:
You don't need to use adb to push the file into /data/local.

It can be copied directly using the terminal application.

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local

The same can be done for the down animation :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] taam:
nice animation, installing!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
Hey Mike, any chance you could do a "Boot Animation" that says Desire S? :)

[Galaxy S II General] akira888:
Hi guys,

I have raised my problem of booting into CWM recovery mode in the sticky post where instructions of getting into various recovery/download modes are shown.

I reckon it is more appropriate that I seek my help here 

I think I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4. Because I can use all those goodies that require root access such as setCPU, Titanium Backup, etc.

However, I do have a problem of booting into CWM recovery mode via the button combination of VOL UP+HOME+POWER when the phone is off. Whenever I follow the button combination, I would go to the Android stock recovery mode. Even though I use the “boot into CWM recovery mode” in the CWM manager app when the phone is on, it still goes into stock recovery mode.

When I was in the stock recovery mode, I saw the followings:

---Appling Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to ' /system/scs/VAU/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC

And in the CWM Manager app, the current kernel is “Unknown”.

Have my phone got properly rooted?

Much appreciated for your guys’ help.

Cheers
