[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
I'm absolutely amazed with my Sensation's screen. It looks so much better than my MT4G's good display, which was already miles ahead of my G2. I'm not even going to get into how much sharper and more accurate with color it is compared to SAMOLED...

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
It's a good screen and the large resolution/aspect ratio is pretty nice, but there are some drawbacks. The screen flicker has to be the most annoying one and I've found the problem to exist on the AUO panel and the Sharp panel (not as bad as AUO, though).
[HTC Sensation] Bluecharge:
So you are sitting totally alone at home with your Sensation? I´m sorry for that. Because sometimes it happens that another person wants to see a photo or sth on the screen, and perhaps you can imagine that the viewing angle is not perfekt 90° (even if you like that person very much to be close at her :-)

To be serious, I just don´t accept the display of HTC´s new expensive flagship to be that crappy in relation to the cheaper Incredible S or any compareable device.

It´s not the kind of high-quality I expected. That´s it.

Anyway, thank you for the hint with the different display-suppliers!

Even if that makes it not better for me... :-(
[HTC Sensation] Bluecharge:
As you mention text clarity: The screen flickers enormously with scrolling, so if you enter the option menu with white capitals on black background the font is just not readable while scrolling slowly down. A friend of mine has a _very_ cheap smartphone with same effect.
[HTC Sensation] debully:
that weird scrolling effect knocked me back when I first saw it. Thought it was just a rom issue. I have had HTC's since the canary and never been bothered by the screen, this one is crap for scrolling tho. That said, it does ok for video's...
[HTC Sensation] fridaycider:
screen quality

i 100% agree, i have a desire amoled at the moment and decided to take the plunge and get a sensation. i have used it for about an hour and it's going back in the box. the screen is terrible in my opinion,mind you the rest of the phone just is not worth the name sensation,because it just isn't sensational. my friend has an incredible s and the screen is alot better to look at than the sensation.it's alot richer in colours and clearer and the blacks are better,the phone seems to respond alot quicker in daily use and nicer to use. i showed a few of my mates who also have htc's and they were not impressed with it at all. so not just my opinion. think incredible s will be my next choice...
[HTC Sensation] Mercvtio:
The fact is the Sensation doesn't have an Amoled screen (like SGS2 has), but a SLCD. As a result, colors are a lot less vivid, black is less deep, contrast is less important, and it does look like the result is dull. Ho, and because of that, it behaves a bit worse under sunlight.

But in fact, the SLCD screen is far more accurate in rendering real colors : what you see is more or less what you would get on your computer screen (provided you didn't push contrast and saturation all the way up on you computer screen).

So in the end, it all comes down to this : do you want a bright screen with a bit of a toonesque feeling, or are you happy with a more realistic, yet duller, rendering ? As for me, I'm perfectly happy with my screen.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
the op is comparing the screen from sensation against that of incredible s.

incredible s has also slcd. It is not a battle between OLED and SLCD.

Even for OLED, I believe quite some people will rush for htc OLED version sensation if there is for all OLED benefit. At least I will.

Honestly I haven't heard a person who stated the reason he bought sensation was because the screen is SLCD.

I have very negative experience with this phone together and service from telenor Denmark. considering the next phone must be non-htc.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Sorry to hear that. You must have the AUO panel because my Sharp panel does not do this. I have heard of people with the AUO panel encountering this.
[HTC Sensation] Bluecharge:
Ok I think you are right with that. But it doesn´t make it better for me and is evil behaviour from HTC to bother their customer with this variation of quality.

It is like you buy an new Audi and got an old MPI engine with less power and more fuel consumption instead of modern FSI. But Audi won´t tell you and demands the same money from you. What would you think?

I hope many many people will return their Sensation. It´s the only way to tell HTC "I don´t want to be cheated by what you call your flagship!"

Let´s see what happens :-)
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I'm not going to return it because I like the performance with mine. I read mostly on my phone and its the clearest I've ever seen text. I do however agree with you that HTC is lacking in quality lately. They should have stuck with the same display rather than using two different ones. I can tell you that as soon as I see a GSII stateside I will be buying it. Everyone always complains about Samsungs quality but my Vibrant and Nexus S have withstood some serious damage. They have both gotten wet from multiple fires and have been dropped at work numerous times. The displays in them are still in mint condition and the plastic they use to build them has never broke. Sooner or later people will understand the reason why Samsung uses plastic is because it makes a mobile device that goes in your pocket lighter and also is least resistive to a cellular signal and wifi signal. Just because there light, doesn't mean there cheap. Their actually solid unlike the Sensation which multiple people have reported volume buttons falling off and creaky battery covers. Samsung has also been great lately with updates and optimizing their drivers. They have devoloped the most powerful mobile processors for the past two years and also have the best on board memory found on mobile phones. Samsung is becoming the HTC of 2009 and HTC is becoming the Samsung of 2009.

[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I totally agree with you on this analogy. Luckily, I have the sharp panel :D
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Not a problem.

I have the phone with an Acer panel and I'm not seeing any of the issues you're encountering.

I should also mention I prefer the panel over the "cartoonish" Samsung panel.

Too surrealistic in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] daewond3r:
My Sensation looks like your Incredible S as well. My MT4G was more like your Sensation, but probably worse.

It sucks that HTC can't get this right (among other things), but there are methods of getting it fixed and/or replace if it really bothers you that much. Good luck!

Hi,

I have followed all of these steps theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/[/url] up to VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image. After I shutdown the phone I hold the volume up and press the power to go into fastboot however when I press recovery, the clockworkmod does not save and just boots the stock recovery. Once I type in adb shell

cd etc

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh I get mount: Operation not permitted.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks to whoever is reading this.

You can use an anti-glare screen protector, which they do make for the infuse, and it should remedy the watermark/bubble issues.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
I have the black one with the clip, its too big to put in my pocket for work. I would suggest that anyone with this case use a screen protector on the phone itself. I've noticed that stuff, (dust, trash, etc) can get in between the case screen protector and the phone. I use the anti-glare anti-fingerprint one. No problems with bubbles or anything. Great case by the way, I tested a drop from 10ft onto concrete, no damage, not even to case. Although it almost gave me a heart attack, and i had to change my shorts. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fortmax67:
I had the black ballistic case and switch to otterbox, the ballistic case is not well built, the rubber is not always in its slotted hole every time i took it out of my pocket.

I wish i waited a little longer and get the otterbox,its just a much better case than ballistic.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
I've been looking at playback volume issues. I notice that the Android maximum volume on the gen8 is lower than the maximum alsa-supported volume. So one can boost the maximum playback volume a bit by using alsa mixers.

I have a little script that does that, but it uses a modified version of amixer from the alsa-tools package. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a way to build amixer outside of the giant gen8 buildroots package, which means that due to GPL issues the only way I can redistribute is by including the giant gen8 buildroots. That's annoying. If anybody has a better solution, that would be welcome.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fly_us:
trust me, you don;t want to boost the volume due to the speaker of gen8 is very weak and fragile, even the default maximum volume could break it without much time. I RMA once due to play music at maximum volume, and a lot of other people experience the same thing.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
How about the headphones? Can one play through them at max volume? The archos ones seem very quiet.

You could always get one of these (or similar):

http://amzn.com/B002V5M5E6
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
True. But a software solution is preferred.

I might just tweak my little hack so it boosts only headphone volume, not internal speaker volume.

A smarter procedure would be to do digital range compression within alsa, and boost the apparent volume without actually boosting the maximum sound output. There are alsa filters for that, but I don't know how easy it is to insert an alsa filter.

If you're able to do this, would you post how?

so new lapdocks are $299 while refurbs are $175.

why... do many online retailers and such show lapdocks at more than $299?

should they not adjust their prices to what the current price from the manufacturer is?

i understand that people sell their items for what they want.

but it just doesn't make sense to overprice something that you don't want to keep. it's like when you buy a car. as soon as it gets driven off the lot, it's worth less. it never increases in value.
