[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
hello

i will buy a new android phone and i don't now which phone i should buy it

Sensation

786 RAM it's a problem ??

1GB for apps it's a problem ??

sensation have nice screen ??

i can overclock sensation to 1.5GHz without problem ??

anything else ?
[HTC Sensation] aim1126:
I got rid of sense so RAM is not a problem at all. Idk if RAM is an issue with sense running since I took it off the first day.

Have over 70 apps and still plenty of space left

The screen is nice but there are two types one made by sharp and one made by auo. The sharp one is a little sharper but not as vibrant the auo is pretty vibrant but has a little bit of ghosting issues. I have an auo and I'm pretty happy with it.

Currently running at 1.7 with no issues
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
which one is better and faster ??

Mali 400 (GS2) vs Adreno 220 (Sensation)

sensation cpu vs gs2 cpu ??
[HTC Sensation] aim1126:
Supposedly the adreno is more powerful than the mali. Exynos is better than snapdragon though
[HTC Sensation] nraudigy2:
Where is the benchmark that says Adreno 220 is more powerful than MALI 400? I really haven't seen one yet.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Me either. Everyone just keeps saying its better on paper. To bad real world use doesn't take place on a sheet of paper. Bottom line. Samsung is on fire right now and nobody can put them out. Its hard to deny that they know how to optimize their devices and create good drivers along with having super fast NAND memory and insane display panels. Oh and lets not forget. Engadget gave the GSII the award of having the second best camera in history only trailing the N95.

People can hate on Samsung all they want but their is a reason why they sell a **** ton of Android devices. All the Samsung haters can sit back and watch the GSII break the sales records for Android devices to date.
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
Might be getting a gs2. Though, not saying the sensation is a bad phone. In fact I love my phone.
[HTC Sensation] mythe:
I feel like the sensation is built better than the SG2. It feels a bit more solid in my opinion. The screen is sort of a toss up, the Samsung's does have better colors and stuff but the Sensations's has a better resolution.

The SG2 will probably have better performance in its unmodified state than a sensation, because of the lower resolution and the Exynos chip.

Personally, I would have preferred the SG2, but I ended up getting the Sensation just because the SG2 hasn't been officially released in the US yet. I ended up paying just under $400 for a new sensation without contract while the absolute cheapest I could find a SG2 for was $650 plus tax.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i will buy htc Sensation and i will installing custom rom but first what i should do ?? unlock bootloader from htc or what ?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
SGS2 is ugly, cheap made and Touchwiz is horrible. The Sensation feels better built and Sense 3 is fantastic. RAM is NOT a problem. The higher resolution screen is beautiful.

Personally I used http://revolutionary.io/ S-off to unlock the phone.

If you use the HTC unlocked bootloader, you are basically telling HTC you have voided your warranty. But with http://revolutionary.io/, it can be revered and HTC won't know about it.
[HTC Sensation] tissimo:
I've heard this from a lot of people, I came from a Galaxy S, and prefered TouchWiz to Sense, many great features over it imo (not the launcher or widgets, actual apps.. contacts, dialer, calculator, email, etc). I find my self craving AOSP apps with the sensation.. and absolutely hated any rom with aosp apps on the Galaxy. Sense 3.0 feels clunky and less refined.

Just my .02

Comparing hardware, HTC feels better. But the Galaxy was super lightweight, and super thin and ergonomically better imo (side power/lock button) but has a 'cheap' feel to it (because made super light and thin), but was very sturdy. Super Amoled screen looked good, but qHD beats it imo (extra real estate makes up for any lack of prettiness and then some). The camera on the samsung was superb and will really miss it. And comparing phone speed, as long as the UI is smooth and its quick opening apps, its fine. I'm not transcoding movies or anything crazy like that or running crazy intense graphics so every last drop of score in a benchmark is pointless to me.
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
Galaxy s 2 I wish I got one.
[HTC Sensation] nunomeneses:
Well I had Galaxy S2 and at the moment have a sensation. While I had s2 I had 2 issues. Yellowish left side screen only noticeable até gray background and pink spot on photos and i replaced the unit, got rid of yellowish and almost gone pink spot but then had hd video recording frame rate drop at low light conditions... Well i thought, I payed 500 euro for this? So traded with sensation and this is the real thing that happened, even with the new 2.3.4 super fast ROM it doesn't compare with the speed of s2 but ok, is fast enough... Had touch screen issues already not responding to my command and having force closes with everyday apps and even now phone reboots itself when trying to play a game... Also phone calls sound thin and low volume, having a little distortion, audio recording also too thin. Already asked for a replace going back to S2 and pink spot and video problems since the rest just feels quick and perfect...

BUT I love sense, if anyone depends on it, don't go wrong, sensation and sense 3.0 is just so easy and complete, beautiful and with new update 2.3.4 no lag at all! I hope I had HTC build, responsiveness and speed of Samsung and sense... About the screen at the beginning I thought samoled+ was way better but now I think is a matter of taste and what we get used to...

Hope it helps

type in "sensation review videos" and/or "galaxy s 2 review videos"

???

profit

I'll just go ahead and say it like a douche--do your part and read the damn reviews. This same question gets asked day after day, and there are tons of review articles/videos done by the professionals.

Would you let your friends decide for you what car to buy? Or would you rather do your due diligence, perform your own research, and make your own decision?
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I can't definitely say since I've never used a SGS2, but I would have gone with it if it was available in the US at the same time the Sensation came out. I don't get why a lot of Sensation owners like to hate on it. It's made out of plastic? OK. Tons of electronics these days are made out of plastic (just taking a 270 degree visual sweep of my room I spot a primarily plastic TV, a primarily plastic Xbox 360 with plastic controllers and network adapter, a plastic multi-effects pedal for my guitar, and a plastic alarm clock). It bothers me when people make it like plastic build quality is such a big deal, especially when it's in fact better for reception and consequently makes the phone better at its purpose. It's even worse when I see people moan about plastic build quality and then later I see them posting in the accessories section about the best cases. If you put cases on your phones why would you give a care about the build material? You don't feel or see it when it's in a case.

There are only a few things that I think the Sensation definitely does better, and those are screen resolution, UI, and build quality. The screen resolution isn't that big an advantage because the SGS2 counters it with better brightness and more vivid colors, the UI isn't that big an advantage because Sense was inherently finished poorly for the Sensation (lag city), and the build quality isn't that big an advantage because it has the negative side effects of the deathgrip and reception problems (and let's face the fact that "unibody" was a joke all along). The SGS2 outspecs and outdoes the Sensation imo in most areas. Easily the better processor, RAM, internal memory by a long shot, camera, overall performance, battery life, speaker by a long shot, etc.

Just my .02. The Sensation is still a good phone and I'll be keeping it till at least the end of the year, but I'm mildly disappointed with it. It's not that I regret it, because as a TMOUS guy it was the best option available to me at the time.
[HTC Sensation] matistight:
I'd choose sgs2 or g2x, I only keep my sensation for netflix
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I hope you realize you don't actually need any specific model to use the Netflix app.
[HTC Sensation] aim1126:
Hence why I said supposedly lol
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Same here. I actually love Touch Wiz. It looks exactly like any of the launchers most of the people here put on their phone. Its a lot closer to vanila Android than Sense is and its also a lot less laggy. The Samsung clients such as email, messages and contacts not only look better but they function better as well. I love how you can swipe on a contact to initiate a message or phone call. Touch Wiz also has better Facebook and Twitter integration. The only thing I think Sense does better is widgets but I don't use them anyway.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Yea I chose Sensation because it had a nice screen. Hercules is gonna be a beast when it debuts tho. I always see the S2 win at speed tests, but frankly, I don't care.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Arthur Hucksake:
I still own both phones, here's my opinion.

They are both great, you shouldn't have buyer's remorse owning either of them.

Pro's and con's.

GS2 has a brighter screen, more vivid, but the resolution lets it down. The icons don't look as sharp. The screen on the Sensation has crisper icons and looks closer to an iPhone 4 display for example. The viewing angle is also better on the Galaxy S2. Personally, I prefer the crisper higher res display on the Sensation.

Camera? The camera on the Galaxy S 2 can potentially take a better shot with tinkering, but the auto tracking and fast snap shot capability of the Sensation, it works better out of the box. It just seems to lock on and snap quicker and getting good results first time.

UI? Sensation wins here, Sense 3.0 is perfect since the 2.3.4 update. Not as fast as the GS2 but that's to be expected. Touchwiz is closer to a vanilla feel.

Battery life. Not sure either way yet, but the GS2 edges it. Think that's down to a more simple interface.

GPS? Far better on the Sensation, by quite some margin. Locks into Google Maps near instant, and the tracking for navigation is some of the best i've seen on a phone yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnzw_rui:
I've been wanting to get a WP7 for a while now. I recently saw the LG Quantum (no contract) for $225 from Newegg. Really tempted to pull the trigger now but with Mango being released and perhaps some new devices coming out soon am I better off waiting?

I'm still trying to decide on what OS to switch to on my primary phone. Since I needed a couple of back-up/emergency/car phones, I figured instead of buying a $50 dumbphone, I might as well use the opportunity to test drive Android and WP7. Already got an Android (LG Thrive, $150 Amazon). Now all I need is a WP7 one.

P.S.

Buying a phone from Amazon or Newegg only and $250 total (inclusive of 10% tax and ship) is my upper limit on device price.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george232:
There are rumors that at least Samsung and HTC are planning WP7-related events on September 1st, which could mean new phones will be announced. Nevertheless, the current phones are a fantastic value, and if you get Mango on them, what could you possibly miss?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loco5150:
To me WP7 phones are really cheap at the moment. I mean 200 for Omnia 7, thats a great piece of HW at a great price!

Unfortunately I couldnt live without a kb so I had to get the Htc 7 Pro, but that was only 280 even though I didnt search much for best deals, just wanted the phone fast.

Of course prices are probably so down because they are not selling...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1mr0dwp7:
my advice is: buy yourself an omnia 7 or focus its a beautiful piece of hardware you wont make a mistake!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnzw_rui:
Thanks for all the replies. Alas, my tech fund got raided with the purchase of 2 HP TouchPad's this weekend so looks like I'm going to have to wait. I was watching the Nokia Sea Ray leak on YouTube and it looks to be a really nice phone. Methinks I'll wait a bit until new devices pre-installed with Mango get released. I should have my tech fund replenished in another couple of months or so.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I was wondering if there are any 4G WP7 devices to be soon released on sprint.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hextor_PL:
There will be Noka See Rey with Windows Phone 7, but i'm not sure if it will has 4g.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I have my upgrade rebate available in October. I am currently enjoying my View tablet so I thought I might try something different for my phone. Prior to android I used a WM device and I enjoyed it. I also had a zune hd so that part of the WP7 is not unfamiliar to me. I had thought about giving the new WP7 a try but I really need the 4G. Well hopefully they have something they have been keeping under wraps.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] knight4led:
Just got my replacement tab yesterday and when I checked for an update, it had one, but that just seemed to get me to 3.1 or something and didn't get me Touchwhiz.

I'm on a custom ROM for now, but I'd rather be on stock.

Anyone seen this live in the last day or so?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kritonas:
And again. Firmware update stuck at 13%. Tried with Kies. Failed. Tried with Kies emergency firmware recovery. Failed. I can only boot to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue page" and the odin3 mode. Very, very disappointed with Samsung.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvertigo:
I really have no idea what is going on with the phone. The phone is amazingly fast and snappy normally. I'm running [ERA]EPICUREANv7 EGgs22, with EC05 modem (I believe I read that staying on EC05 would be fine, correct me if I'm wrong).

It started happening once I transferred my old files from my old SD card to my new SD card (this is my second epic, first one died without any explanation). It began freezing within a minute of a reboot. I then took the SD card out, and it was fine again. I deleted all my old music and pictures for a clean SD, and the problem went away.

The next day it froze again, and the day after that (today), it froze again just now. It seems to happen when I am running a new program (happened once when i installed and tried out miren, happened once when I opened google music for the first time, happened once with powerAMP, etc) but I'm not sure if that is the cause. I'm starting to wonder if there is a common factor between these freezings and how my old epic became a brick (not really a brick, I odined it through download mode to stock, but flashing any rom now causes it to be unable to boot as far as I've tried so it's perma stock now)

Does anyone know what is going on? Is there any kind of diagnostic app out there that will tell me what is causing the freezes or high usage?

Thanks in advance!

i flashed xboxmod win7 rom and i want to get back to stock or android at least can someone help me out?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Stephen:
Download the rom that is for your phone from HTC. Extract the contents of the exe file. Then take the .nbh file should be about 150mb and rename it to leoimg.nbh. Put that on your SD card.

Next restart your phone while holding down the volume down key and it will go into the boot loader. It will then prompt you to restore your phone. Follow on screen instuctions.

Make sure you get the right rom for your phone! This will bring it back to full factory settings. You can then reinstall hspl and start again. Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] dude772:
How many did you use?

The past 3 months I have an average of 22 gigs per month used on my Rogers bill. I got a promotional 3 months of unlimited data.

To test how unlimited it really was I stopped using my laptop and only used my Atrix for EVERYTHING! Having tha lapdock made that easy. Torrents, videos, browsing, streaming online radio. Anything that could use data.

According to 2 reps at Rogers its the most they have ever seen. Makes me proud! haha
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
i'm sure your fellow rogers customers would like to graciously thank you for HOGGING bandwidth just because you can. congratulations.
[Atrix 4G General] al3xx:
That's not TOO much...Last month I used about 15 GB on my Atrix, only tethered a few times when necessary plus my normal usage. I've heard of some ridiculous people, however, that have managed to use 60+ GB of data in a month. AT&T promptly told him to stop using that much or else he would be cut off completely.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
This its the first month I've broken 500 MB....usually around 350. 22GB...damn.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
I've yet to go above 50mb/month. Partially because there's wifi most of the places I go, and partially because I use Opera Mini with images set to low quality when there's not. I wouldn't even have a data plan if AT&T allowed me to go without one.

You grandfather'ed unlimited users are lucky. I know I'm always going to be terrified of using my phone away from wifi no matter what my cap is.
[Atrix 4G General] rusreid:
And people wonder why providers want to cap and throttle our usage. Thanks a lot a$$holes.
[Atrix 4G General] defnow:
10 gb last month...about to hit another 10 his month. No tethering.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
You're not an asshole if you use 15 gigs the legit way man.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Yeah, it certainly isn't because they want to do as little as possible to improve their infrastructure to support such amounts of data properly.

Not to be rude, but there's a lot more to the situation than what the carriers are trying to make us think of it. If theres something to be blamed, its the lack of any real competition, not users using a network in completely expected (on a consumer level) ways. If their contract says unlimited, then they get unlimited. End of discussion.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Back when I had T-Mobile with unlimited data plan I used to push just how far I could go with it. I would tether and download huge files constantly. They didn't seem to care, but then again, their speeds don't match what im getting now on at&t
[Atrix 4G General] defnow:
Can I buy you beer?
[Atrix 4G General] jamaa124:
Hell, i thought that using 1.5 gigs was a lot...
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
mobile data is now crack for the masses and the carriers are holding all the crack. the biggest and smallest crack dealers are trying to merge. just what gsm needs in america. a global standard with no competition. if i wasn't getting a decent discount because of my employer i probably wouldn't have data, and they did away with discounts on text, and are fixing to give us the option of all or nothing. and then they whine about we're not making enough profit, say their infrastructure is great and fast, shove 3g+ down our throats as 4g and the guys in red are considering putting android on the backburner for apples.
[Atrix 4G General] whatsaqazza:
I use 2gigs a month only because its my cap... and I have to force myself to be conservative at times... wish I had unlimited data. Back when I was with Verizon I'd do about 10gigs a month
[Atrix 4G General] Obartuckc:
Glad to know I won't be in the top 5% of unlimited users to get throttled! =)

Never say... never...

I never used it :(

Sorry :(
[Atrix 4G General] gravewormx:
Yeah but the guy saying he used 22gb was also downloading torrents! And just pushing it. I understand that it is unlimited data but shouldn't abuse it because of it. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate it that carriers are limiting the data. But it really is people like this that drove them to that. I mean can you imagine if the other 95% of data subscribers also tried using 22gb or even the 15gb stated? I doubt any wireless network in the world can maintain stability under such demands.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
The most I've done was 10 gigs. No tethering.. it was all streaming music with rhapsody and movies with subsonic. I can see doing 20 gb if I streamed movies all the time. I currently average about 4 now

[Atrix 4G General] dac1227:
I for one do not mind in the slightest when users push the boundary of practical usage. If every att data subscriber stayed clear within the norm of data usage, and no one strayed beyond it, where is the motive for a carrier to expand or increase the network capability, or offer larger data plans or better rates? (hypothetically, of course.) I'm a 500mb per month user myself, however if I could hit such usage without the autonomous fees, I certainly would. I respect the heavy user! Besides, a handful of people using such data amounts are not affecting the majority of 98,000,000 MILLION USERS.
[Atrix 4G General] getyroks:
Life much???
[Atrix 4G General] dude772:
I'm sure no one minds if I let my torrents run over night while they all sleep. I was mildly impressed with the speeds that I got with my downloads too. I had to get the paid version of the torrent app to unlock the download cap of 250kb/s.

After my 3months of unlimited use I am back to 500megs. But testing the limits of the network and the phone was really entertaining. If they see a demand for larger amounts of data with these unlimited trials maybe they will offer an unlimited plan or more data for your dollar?
