I didn't see a thread about anything like this, so i thought i'd make one.

Basically it's for videos that you can use to "show off" the qHD display in your Sensation.

I'll start off with a few suggestions, and i'd love to see what everyone else thinks.

To get the best quality for Vimeo videos i'd suggest you download each one and then put them on your phone (Each Video has a download link that is accessible when using the Desktop version of the site)

Vimeo

Timelapse - The City Limits http://vimeo.com/23237102

And for anyone looking, here's a simple tool to help with downloading the videos for offline use...

Nothing to install, the site does all the work for you.
[HTC Sensation] sto0ka:
Let's try
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Thanks very much.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Vimeo has a built in download function on their website (on the right)

Anyone else have any videos that help show off the screen?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Streaming Vimeo over wifi works fine for me.

Everyone else probably knows this, but I was really unimpressed using auto brightness. Overriding to a brighter setting made a huge difference, from blah to wow.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
But YouTube does not... :)
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
I hope you don't actually think qHD has anything to do with the quality of the screen/ videos..
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Only in the sense that HD video fits the screen perfectly, rather than having black bars as on non-qHD screens, so you get the full resolution of the screen.

Just as a side note, I also have a Vibrant with the SAMOLED screen. I haven't been using it for a couple of weeks since I got the Sensation. Turned it on the other day and was shocked at how bad the colors looked. Oversaturated and the color balance looked way off. I always thought it was a great screen, but the Sensation looks much more natural to me now.
[HTC Sensation] iGoOsE76:
i hope you guys don't think the sensation is full hd

HD only specifies the resolution, and not the display type. qHD = quarter of full HD.

Full HD is 1920x1080 so a quarter of that is 960x540.
[HTC Sensation] o0o Wiggy o0o:
I hope you don't think..........:D
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
No, we don't all think that. The form factor (16:9) is the same as HD, thus HD video fills the screen perfectly, without bars. HD plays at the full resolution of the phone's screen, whereas on a SGS2, for example, you only get a portion of its lesser 800x480, or the video must be cropped to eliminate the bars.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
True... i was just pointing it out to save people time :p

It's a thread for videos that look good on the qHD screen....

Yes, We know the Sensation has a Super LCD & qHD is the resolution.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Thanks! I made this video my wallpaper on my sensation!

Via Video Wallpaper app on the Market. And if you view this thread on your sensation, when you watch the video, it gives you an option to download it. God I love this phone. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] jim13524:
The best video I've seen on the sensation are high profile h264 videos at 720p or 1080p. Noticeably better than those Vimeo and Youtube videos.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Please check out this thread i made where i actually make this video's into a live wallpaper.

I'd still suggest that everyone downloads the HD versions via a pc or the pc version of vimeo, to get the best quality.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jellygoos:
To all frequent Flashers:

I wonder what are the options to backup your phone-settings before flashing a new ROM. I used Titanium Backup pro to backup all my apps and app-related settings which worked like a charm. However since it's not recommended to restore system-apps & data (?) I wonder how you do that. I am talking mainly about:

- Contacts including favourites and Call Logs (that one was a pain in the *** because the Google-Sync thing just didn't work for me. It didn't restore my contacts!)

- APNs

- eMail settings and Google Account settings

- Global systems settings like Notification Sounds, Haptic Feedback settings etc. pp.

- Alarm Clock settings

I recently flashed JVP (my first time, woooot) but am planning to upgrade to JVQ for some glitches and quite bad WLAN reception. Maybe I'll try out some Custom Roms. However if I have to restore all of the above manually I'll reconsider.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anfearg:
Titanium Backup or Nitrality should do the job for apps you install. It is not really recommended to restore the system data that you are talking about because things can change from ROM to ROM that might impact this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jellygoos:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Not restoring system apps with TB makes perfect sense to me, yes.

However, I still wonder how to backup and restore contacts, call logs and sound/notifcation/sync settings...

there must be a way, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anfearg:
This will backup your Call log, sms, and mms but I'm not sure about your system settings. - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result

You can export all of your contacts to your sdcard by pressing the menu key while in your phonebook.

TBH, I write down my notification settings before I flash because I havent been able to find a way to back them up successfully 100%. It only takes a second.

Hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ponpadour:
Just to share my experience, the restoration is not always a good idea, it causes sometimes some error if you restore in a totally new version of the ROM (like from 2.2.1 to 2.3)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ferparedes:
This is how I do it:

Apps + their data: Titanium Backup. Never backup/restore system data, only apps data!

SMS: An app called SMS backup/restore it will create an xml file of your SMS on the external sdcard

Contacts: Google Sync

Call logs: Never really wanted or needed to. It depends on what you want it for: If you want a true historic log of all your calls, I should recommend using calltrack: https://market.android.com/details?id=app.calltrack&feature=search_result - This cool app will record all your calls to a Google calendar (go to calendar page, create a new calendar called logs or something and point calltrack to that calendar. Then just hide it from your web calendar so it doesnt clutter up the view. Nifty!)

If what you want is to retain a log so you can use it to redial or call back, I don't know what would do.

Those are different from the ones I posted the part numbers for. AND the second thread you listed was created by me lol.

These are different, supposed to be a harder shell.
[HTC EVO 3D] awesomeindeed:
I had the black one... it didn't really impress me. There were fitment issues around the volume buttons (case was loose around that areas and bowed out on the side) and it collected lint like no other. If it were a tighter fit I would have loved the case and dismissed the lint issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] sshark:
Nope. these are silicone cases just like other Silicone Smerge Case thread going on. I have seen and handled these cases in RS and I actually prefer Amazon/Dotted Silicone Smerge case compared to this RS Silicone case.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwymore:
I have tried to flash my nook several times. First with deeperblues honeycomb and then with cm7. On the honeycomb flash it just hangs on the android_ screen and with the CM7 it hangs on the cyanogen splash screen.

Have tried with different versions of CWR and different SD cards. have tried formatting boot and without for the Honeycomb. Always formatting cache, data and system for both cm7 and honeycomb.

Each time, i flash back to 1.0.1 stock, then root, then try to flash the mod again.

It always works returning to the stock 1.0.1 using the cwr complete restore found on the nook color portal. And the autonooter always works as well.

This is frustrating me as im not amble to install any cool mod on the nook. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my NC is resisting any change i make to it other than root stock 1.0.1?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STaria:
It sounds like a symptom of not wiping data, but you said you're doing that...

Just to be clear, before flashing, you're doing "wipe data/factory reset", then "wipe cache", then "wipe dalvik cache"? Formatting /system shouldn't be necessary but I guess it wouldn't hurt.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwymore:
I have tried the wife data/factory reset option once when trying to flash honey comb. Still gave me the same issue. All of the how to's i read had me formatting the data, cache and system, and depending on the how to sometimes the boot partition as well. Have been following those to the letters. This is the first time i have heard of wiping the dalvik cache, is that different than wiping cache under the mounts and storage?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuul4nook:
Was there a color sticker on the box of your Nook?

Also, have you tried doing an SD only install rather than flashing the internal?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwymore:
Not sure about the color sticker on the box when i bought it. It was right after it came out so going on a year ago. I have tried the SD only install, that works with honeycomb at least, thats the only one i have tried, all be it laggy because i only have a class 2 card at best.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwymore:
I did some searching and i think what your eluding to is maybe my partition is the new style(although like i said i bought it within about a week or two of it originally being released)? would running the repartition in CWR make a difference do you think?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STaria:
The option to wipe dalvik cache is under "advanced" in CWR. Try that in conjunction with a data and cache wipe.

As for the partitions, I don't think it should make a difference. It also sounds like you're on the old partitioning scheme which is the better one to have. You could try flashing the repartition/reformat zips just for the hell of it. Personally I went with the custom 2/4 setup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonwymore:
Will try once with wiping the delvik cache, data, and cache. I wont wipe the system or the boot. If that doesnt work, il try the repartition and start from scratch. If anyone can think of anything else please let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbilko:
I have noticed a very weird problem with my TF101.

When I dock the tablet into the keyboard, the sound stops coming from the internal speakers.

This includes all notifications, screen tap sounds media etc.

As soon as I undock it comes back.

However, if I plug headphones in while docked and playing media with sound it can be heard fine through the headphones, and once I unplug them continues to play from the speakers.

If I then stop and resume the playback the sound goes away.

Have I missed some magic setting somewhere?

This problem has persisted after a rom install and rooting, and installed apps seem to have no effect.

I DO use tasker to control the tablets sound, but nothing is set to run on dock apart from a request to change the keyboard.

Any suggestions from the masses?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubelmort:
Im now getting that problem as well. Though I noticed while docked if I put pressure on the tablet that I get sound, but once I release the pressure or put the tablet at a different angle that the sound goes away.

I'm thinking its a connection issue with mine though.However it just started this after I plugged a mini HDMI to it and hooked it up to a tv, I wonder if its a setting now...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JirkaX:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbilko:

I never got it fixed. You sure its the dock? If i only have to rma the dock i might aswell.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbilko:
I have a totally new B80 tablet, new software installed etc.

I have tried hard resets etc, but no solution.

I want the dock updated to fix the battery drain anyway, so its worth a try

[HTC ChaCha] Zomer:
Hi guys

I am about to buy a chacha. However now the custom Tom fun seems to take off, I'm afraid to get a chacha that doesn't have S-Off and therefore makes me miss all the fun. Is the a place that is known for selling S-Off units? Or should I not be conserned about this at all as it might also be possible to turn a s-on unit into a S-Off unit?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
You need to have luck to get your device delivered in an S-OFF state. You can however turn it from S-ON into S-OFF, by buying the XTC Clip from here It costs about 50 dollars, so it's not quite free.
[HTC ChaCha] Zomer:
I think I could be willing to spend the 50 dollars on that xtc. The only thing that would make me hesitate is that HTC might just unlock that bootloader as it with the sensation. Or would you think that that would be unlikely?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Seen that there are no custom roms yet, I wouldn't buy it yet. Two parties might release a free unlock: AlphaRevX and HTC. Though I doubt HTC will unlock the chacha, it is one generation behind the Sensation.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I'm going to get an xtc clip tomorrow,

I would say people could post me their chacha and I'll s-off for a small fee. But not sure I would post my phone to some random bloke on the web (i could be anyone!)

Then again the payg version is only ￡22 on eBay anyway.

I'm getting the full one as some people at work want theirs done.

The thing I want is to be able to use the uot theme kitchen like I had on my legend...for that I'll need clockwork mod.

In that case, I got you covered ;)

[Xoom General] spielnicht:
Is it just me or does Gingerbread on the phone seem faster and smoother than Honeycomb on tablet with exact same specs?? When my Atrix only had Froyo, I always noticed it performed the same as my Xoom and apps were either fast or slow the same exact way. However, now that I'v gotten Gingerbread on my Atrix, I've noticed apps are much, much smoother...iOS smooth (hate to use that as reference, but...). Take for example the Dish Network app, scrolling through the guide was (on Atrix-Froyo and Xoom ) horrible, but now with Gingerbread on the Atrix, the guide scrolls like butter.

Thoughts???
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
Hmm... well, the Atrix has very similar hardware to the Xoom.

Gingerbread is a phone OS. It is lighter weight than Honeycomb.

Xoom has a screen that has just short of double the number of pixels that the Atrix's has.

If you're upset with the Xoom's performance, download Tiamat Kernel with overclocked GPU and jump the processor up past 1.5 GHz. The thing screams.

EDIT) I'm from DC too.
[Xoom General] dshearn:
Apps are mostly made for the phones.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
I was just about to point this out, although I honestly have no idea how much that affects the GPU/performance in terms of "2x laggier" or however you want to describe it, but actually be twice as laggy in numbers and not just "what it feels like."

I wish someone would find out how the Xoom would benchmark if it had lower resolution, just out of curiosity.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Mainly because Honeycomb is still a work in development, an ongoing project. The Android phone OS has had a few years now to get everything worked out, figured out, and made to run smoothly. The Honeycomb tablet OS on the other hand has had only a few months now of ongoing development. It's progressing and in due time will turn out how the Android phone OS did, amazingly solid! Do you think that when they released Android for the very first time a few years ago that it was perfect with no lag issues? No. Same goes with Honeycomb as it is their first major release for the Android tablet world.

Our next major release will be Ice Cream Sandwich, which should be a game changer for everything we know about the Android OS. So expect performance boosts with the next big release along with a whole slew of new goodies. :)

I expect ICS to be like when you are coming from 2.0 Eclair then updating to the latest 2.3 Gingerbread in terms of speed, stability, and features. That's a major jump in the update department! That's how I feel ICS will be when it launches. I feel that any lag issues experienced by the users will be worked out by then, giving us a super silky smooth OS that runs on both phone and tablet alike! That's what we wanted all along, right?
[Xoom General] Arun01:
well I don't know how many people here have tried it but ADW Launcher makes the Xoom fly...until the lagginess goes away I'm sticking with that launcher...try it!!
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Agreed! Been using Adw Launcher EX myself since day one on my Xoom. It hasn't had anymore Honeycomb specific updates in months, but it's still a rock solid launcher to use as a replacement to the stock one. I choose Adw over the Honeycomb launcher any day.
[Xoom General] BrokenPixel:
Main difference will be screen res, Atrix is pushing 384000 pixels while the xoom pushes 926720 pixels (rough amount) so its like having 2.5 atrix screens put together, for me that explains all :)

I work with 3ds Max and 2 monitors, when I had only one screen 3ds max moved smooth as butter, but since I dropped a second screen 3ds max is not the same and I bet it crashes more often. I think there is a similar situation on these devices. Someone needs to port gingerbread to the xoom :p and see how it performs against the atrix.
