[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
G2X is not a bad phone--the hardware is definitely not lacking and it's running near-vanilla android! BUT the software's been known to be plagued with crippling bugs. If you know you're going to be flashing over CM7 or some other ROM, then G2X wouldn't be a bad choice.

Sensation is overall more stable and better built, but perhaps not as zippy (unless you again flash custom ROMs)

Check out anandtech's review on G2X

update: I'm getting the sensation this friday and t mobile is giving me 30 days to switch out for the hercules if the hercules releases in time... I will just have to pay the difference in price & 50 dollar restocking fee... if I like the sensation, I will instead just keep it tho...
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
You wont be disappointed with your decision. I would've waited for the Hercules too but couldn't wait and not sure the rumors were true.(got phone last month) hopefully cm7 will be released sometime soon
[HTC Sensation] nickmcghee:
So tmonews.com just leaked an. Internal document showing the hercules coming sept. 26. the longest I can wait to get the sensation is the 25th of this month, which means sept 26, is 31 days LATER.... o well... guess ill be sticking with the sensation... not that that's a bad thing :)
[HTC Sensation] Virtue94:
Lol that's really bad timing. They say the HTC Ruby will also be released on that same day and will outspec the sensation with a 1.5 ghz dual core. That could have been an option as well.
[HTC Sensation] mystikal87:
the ruby is an oversized tampon in my honest and humble opinion.

uses same processor as sensation (just not undervoltaged) and got 256 megs more RAM (which is nice) + its fat and white...
[HTC Sensation] :
its actually october 26 not sept 26
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL it's just a white sensation the ram will be unnoticeable the 42mbps looks great on paper and the 1.5ghz probably wouldn't feel that much faster than the sensation.....with all that said I will still probably shell out $600 for it LMBO
[HTC Sensation] nickmcghee:
I stand corrected. The correct release date for the Herc is October not September. But I'm really "meh" about the Ruby.

Hi!

I created this Launcher Pro dock background in Photoshop. The background is 50% transparent, but when i set the background on the dockbar, it's solid black color. Does'nt Launcher Pro support transparency in images?

And how do i fix it if i can?

KP.

Not only Launcher Pro

Okay, so not only Launcher Pro f's up.

Don't forget it'll need to be a gif or png to use transparency.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skyfire1995:
I just recently put an android build on my sd card, and it works fine and everything. But none of my contacts from my sim or sd card carry over. Also every time I soft reset the phone, it goes back to normal windows, and the time and date will be completely off. Is there a way I can get all my information to carry over and have android be the main operating system? Or maybe when I start my phone have the option of windows or android (Both having my saved information)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
To get the contacts from Sim, go to contacts (in android) and press menu. Import from Sim card. There may also be an import from SD card, can't remember. The only way to have Android as the main OS is to completely replace Windows with NAND Android, there are many guides as to how to do this. One thing you can do is download exceller build loader or another automatic build loader (search for these in the forums) which will give options to automatically load Android or to cancel and load Windows at boot. It automates the process of running CLRCAD and Haret, and can launch android within 3 seconds of loading Windows, if needed.

As for the time and date being off, I too had this problem until I flashed a custom Windows ROM. I would recommend OzDroid if you are going to do this, it has an automatic build loader built in and is bare Windows, meaning that the load times are extremely quick.

Hope this helps :)

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.

All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.

I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.

Hope that helps

[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
I'd recommend waiting on the Hercules IF you can.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickmcghee:
I would love to wait for the Herc, but I need to get the phone taken care of by the 25th (long story)...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.

But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] supersilko:
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
The Sensation is a dual core phone...

And I'd recommend the G2X because it has a larger Dev community, considering the fast that the Sensation just got Perma-Root...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickmcghee:
The dev community is also a big deal to me.. I rooted my vibrant and LOVED all the support it had...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickmcghee:
What do you mean by if I'm not good with dealing things? You mean if I'm not good with dealing WITH things? I can deal, just long enough to root and not have to deal anymore, hahaha. Like I did with my vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Don't get the gs4g slower then the vibrant. Pick the sensation or the g2x. I like the g2x cuz I don't have to do all that stuff like s off to perm root my phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Haha, yea, you got me. Well, I guess you are good to go then. Go to the store to see if you like the g2x or not. If yes, go for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Wait for the Hercules as it will walk all over any of the current offerings. Plus it is going to come with 4.5 inches of Super AMOLED + goodness. If you liked your Vibrants display you are going to love the Hercules display.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nickmcghee:
The thing is, I need to get a new phone by the 25th of this month... Can't wait for herc... I would love too...

Please try again dumpstate_app_201108091224_android_process_acore.log has been saved. use *#9900# to copy out log. what can I do to fix this I just have a black screen after it reads the memory cards and can't do anything if I have signal I can get google search to work and I can get online but that's it.. i think I know what I did wrong but not 100% sure can anyone help? Thanks in andvance

Check out S15274N 's noob guide and get comfortable with reflashing back to stock using Odin. Then once you are at stock (you can find all you need in the noob guide) then I would recommend flashing a custom rom.... READ UP on this then research more on this then go forward.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This isn't right... XWKL1 is 2.3.6.

Before you do anything you may regret, sounds like you just got the phone. Try a wipe/factory reset first, to see if that fixes your browser FC issue. Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset.

Your phone has Siyah 2.6.2 on it, which should have auto-rooted your phone. So you should already have root. Likewise, you should have no need to flash a CF-Root kernel. Siyah has all the same features as a CF-Root kernel, plus some.

You self-admitted to being a n00b, so I have to ask... have you looked at the label under the battery? Does the model on that label read GT-I9100 or something similar? I ask because you're on AT&T... most AT&T users of Galaxy SII have the AT&T branded version (SGH-I777) or the LTE version (SGH-I727), but you said you bought this phone used, so it COULD be an I9100.

I've got a GT-I9100 on AT&T, I'll try to help you as much as I can.

The previous owner had cleared it, however, a few of his pics were left over. These have now been removed with the 'Factory reset'

Normal service provider is GoPhone provided by ATT, so far I don't know if there is a difference.
