[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopers1222:
Are you talking about 'headphones' or 'headsets'? Headphones don't have any microphone components while headsets do.

Most any normal set of headphones with a 3.5mm stereo connector should work fine with the X10.

The only thing to be careful of are the noise-canceling type of headphones. The 3.5mm connectors for those can vary in design that may be specific to whatever device they ship with. Incompatibilities can then be no sound from the headset or sound from just one ear bud when plugged into a different device.

If you're referring to headsets, then those can also have compatibility issues too due to product-specific differences in 3.5mm connector designs.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Yeah they were both headsets I tested actually. So regular headphones would work fine? I don't have any lying around so would have to buy some.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadevelopers1222:
Yep. Regular stereo headphones with a 3.5mm connector should work.

I just upgraded my phone to WOLF tw gingerbread. I did everything with xrecovery and so. After that I had to flash a .tft bundle for baseband and kernel. After the install of the WOLF rom I tried to do that. But after I take out my usb cable and put it back in it says: please install of reinstall device drivers from drivers folder. I found some solutions on the web but they don't work for me. Does anyone have a clue?

My gratitude.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
Repair phone using pc companion. This will give you stock 2.3. Then root and install xrecovery using flashtool. Then flash wolfs rom through recovery and you are done, to need for the .tft business.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimcr7:
Install latest x10 driver, or install latest SE PC Companion.

Or open flashtool folder, then drivers folder, find x10 driver, extract it and install.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budokay:
Thanks for the help with the drivers. Worked like a charm.

But now a second problem has appeared.

It starts flashing and after a few lines it says.

turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

I can't because I can't start the rom.

Any Ideas?

Kind Regards

Edit:

Got it working

I was on revolutionary and rooted and went back to s-on, not rooted, flashed the new RUU GB 2.11 but i'm not getting good 4g.

Can I now flash the MR2 radio thru hboot? If so how do I do it?

Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
You are s-on? If so no you cannot flash radios.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mig1234:
There is no way to stay on 2.11 and get another radio with s-on then? TY.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
You need to have s-off the flash a radio, my suggestion would be to get back your s-off and root and then flash your modem, also you can use stock and still be rooted/s off just need to download the rooted version of the ruu.

From xda, unless you have to take the phone in for service theirs no reason to go back to s on
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
Also the 802 radio has been great for me on 2.11 are you using that radio? It also vastly improves battery life

I currently own HTC Desire HD and I love it's camera. Video is top notch and photos quality is simply awesome.

Due for an upgrade soon and want to get your opinions which phone has the best camera which is better than my Desire HD?

Ideally would like an android phone if possible. Dont want a Symbian one for sure.

Thanks :D

[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Actually the myTouch 4G Slide has the best camera, it has a 8MP with burst, HDR, and panoramic and many other features, it has zero-shutter lag too. HTC says it's the best camera on a mobile phone. Think it's much better than a iPhone 4, Sensation, or the SGSII.

http://mytouch.t-mobile.com/4g-slide/hd-camera-advanced-features
[General Questions and Answers] pmcqueen:
+1... I've used all of the phones posted above with the exception of the SGSII, which I imagine has a pretty stellar camera too, and the MT4GS wins hands down. a lot of the reason why I chose the MT4GS over the Sensation was the camera (of course, the keyboard was a big consideration for me as well). my second pick would be the iPhone if you were buying based solely on the camera.

99% of the MT4GS camera awesomeness is the software... the cam features on this phone are really second to none. it has completely replaced my point and shoot.

[General Questions and Answers] iPwn_:
Probably the iPhone 4S or Amaze 4G or MyTouch 4G Slide.

Anyone of those three will blow you away.
[General Questions and Answers] SuperL0L:
You can't buy the Amaze 4G or MyTouch 4G Slide at Amazon this Smartphone are build for T-Mobile.

And i don't want to pay more then 300€ for a Smartphone under 200€ would be perfect.

Couldn't see this posted anywhere else.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_...cial-edition-with-beats-technology-exclusive/

If this is true - more powerful battery was the eye-catcher for me :rolleyes:

maybe it will hit all markets?
[HTC Sensation] NardVa:
It's gone cost more to with beats audio speakers and earbuds.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, and it's basically a minor refresh to the Sensation. I wish they had done more.
[HTC Sensation] Sketchy McSketch:
wasn't the sensation supposed to have nfc support in a q3 re-release too?
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
That's what caught my eye too. you beat me to posting it though.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
My thoughts are they put the bigger battery to overclock the phone to 1.5. However i believe it is the same hardware inside. Can someone confirm the Processor?
[HTC Sensation] bluemoon737:
Actually the processor is a native 1.5 but HTC downclocked it to 1.2 (I would presume due to battery life concerns). With a larger battery they can now bring the clock speed up to where it is designed to run.
[HTC Sensation] TheEyes:
What caught my eye was, well the main feature of the article: the audio. Will HTC finally manage to make a passable speakerphone?
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
Yep the CPU listed is the same one that is in the current Sensation (Qualcomm 8260).
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Its just a ploy to sell headphones to people...I wouldnt be one bit surprised to learn that our phones are exactly the same and that HTC has the "upgrades" all hidden from us. That, or the specs are wrong...

I mean, why make another so similar and so soon?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] jparity:
Well... it would have been nice if we have 4GB memory on board.

Hopefully the new battery would fit into our sensations.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I can't believe how fooled some people have been. If you guys actually read the article and look at that details sheet, it's pretty clear that they only mention Beats Audio headphones and nothing about onboard audio actually being improved. I would bet a lot of money that it has the stock speaker, and that the only "Beats" part of the package is the headphones.

"Multimedia super phone, now with beats headsets to enhance your music experience."

"Beats in-ear headset in-box for superior acoustic performance, making sure you get an uncompromised multimedia experience. Also comes with remote control so you don't need to take your phone out of your pocket to adjust."

"High-fidelity audio experience -- the phone is fine tuned to work with the Beats headset to automatically optimize sound quality."

Noticing a pattern? Any time it describes audio, it only describes the headset. The only time it describes the actual phone in relation to audio, it's to note that the phone is "fine tuned" to work with the headset. Nothing about onboard audio or if the crappy stock speaker is improved.

Just wanted to point this out because I feel that just because people hear "Beats Audio" they instantly assume onboard sound is Beats, when the sad truth may be that they're just pairing the phone with Beats headphones (and know that by marketing it as a Beats special edition or something along those lines people will think the onboard audio is improved).
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
Do you think we will be able to get the battery from the special edition, flash the rom and have our processors clocked @ 1.5Ghz?
[HTC Sensation] runderekrun:
You can already buy a 1700 mah battery that fits in your case and overclock your Cpu to 1500.

Lame "refresh".
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Apparently the special edition is supposed to be a bit thicker to fit the battery. So you probably can get the battery if you also get the thicker battery cover. But who cares anyway since we can get the Chichitec or Anker batteries that are 1900mAh (whether or not you think they get the full 1900mAh, tests have shown they at least get 1730mAh). We can't yet overclock (I'm talking true dual-core support overclocking) properly, but we should be able to soon. So basically, we can make our normal Sensation's into these special editions by getting a higher capacity battery, getting nice headphones, and overclocking once it's available (the only thing we can't match is the internal storage bump). Hardly a special edition if by adding accessories and mods to your standard edition you can make it essentially equivalent.
[HTC Sensation] juggaknot77:
Man that's some straight up bull**** for real..
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
The current OC kernels don't properly overclock both cores.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
This reminds me of the MyTouch Fender Edition. Same phone, different case, $200 more.
[HTC Sensation] runderekrun:
Ahh well I'm sure they'll figure it out by the time this special edition comes out.
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
The battery 1730mA is the same as the evo 3d... AND YES IT FIT... IM USING IT RIGHT NOW

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict i've been sober for 1 month now ='(
[HTC Sensation] robotnoize:
Fender edition repeat for sure haha! It would be dumb if they really didn't include beats technology in the onboard hardware.
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
The only thing possibly "cool" here is if they included built in Beats hardware. Like if the phone had some super Beats speakerphone action going on. However, you know they're just tossing in some $100 headphones. I think I'll pass... I already have good headphones, and a bigger battery, and a giant micro sdhc...
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The Sensation technically has 4 GB of on board memory, but only 1 GB is user accessible. I'm guessing it's the same thing for this phone. Really all they did was keep the CPU at its original clock speed, put in a bigger battery, and are packaging the phone with some Beats headphones.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
This is essentially what the Sensation should have been from the beginning. I still don't understand why the RAM and memory card are still so low though.
[HTC Sensation] drumsforjs:
I got my chichitec battery for 13 bucks 1900 mah I'm fine thank you very much. :) just wait till we can properly overclock our dual core processor and we will all be flying. :)
[HTC Sensation] skeamznz:
Im running a 1900mah battery, with my cpu at 1.5ghz now, even tho the clock speed is higher im gettinng longer life due to the battery. I highly recommend doing this.

If the normal sensation has 4gb onboard but its locked, does that mean it would be possible to unlock the extra 3gb?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Not sure. If it is, people haven't been able to yet.
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
It appears unlikely that beats audio tech is in the phone as far as the speaker goes. It says the phone is fine tuned to work with the beats headset, which doesn't mean anything. Likely its just the headset. The CPU is the same, just clocked higher. And it's just using an Evo battery. The only thing different is the greater storage. Nothing to worry about at this stage.
[HTC Sensation] woostar88:
Well said.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Ah screw this. Beats isn't that good anyways. Other than that it should be the same.
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
Nah its emmc protected.
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Beats audio is ****e anyway. Whenever I see someone walking down the street wearing beats headphones I laugh at them.

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] dhiral.v:
I hate it when HTC does this, why didn't they just do this with the original Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
It's all about the money money money ~
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
Seriously don't be upset - it's just a pair of headphones and 3gb more internal storage. Everything else is obtainable for existing Sensation owners as far as the extra battery (purchase) and CPU speed goes (custom kernel).

It should be easy to grab the kernel from the special edition on release and use it in roms.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
HTC bought Beats AFTER they released the Sensation.

Also, there aren't any real changes. The processor is the same, MSM 8260, its only running a different speed, the original speed of the processor. We will definently be able to run the same speeds using the same ROM.

Battery: Its simply the Evo 3D'd battery.

Memory: its the same. the "regular" Sensation already has 4GB, but only ~1.1 GB is accessable to users for apps.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
what do they use the other 2.9 for?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I couldnt care any less about the onboard storage. Not when I have nearly all of it available and half of my 8Gb SD still available. How many apps can you possibly need?

I also couldnt care any less about those headphones. Its all just a way to sell their headphones.

Now I WOULD care if they were coming out with 13MP cameras that were originally supposed to be on our phones, as well as more RAM and a better processor!

EDIT-A Chrome back would also be a nice addition...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
The only people they can really trick here, are the newcomers that like "Beats". I rarely use headphones with my Sensation, most times I just connect it to my auxiliary in my truck. As far as space, I have a 32GB card, space is fine. However, it would behoove HTC to offer an extended battery.
[HTC Sensation] The_Green_Android_Robot:
LOL. same exact phone, different speaker, bigger battery. how does that justify a massive price increase?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
sounds like they are using the philosophy of apple ...lets change one or two small things and remarket the phone and make more money on it.. only htc is taking a couple months to do it rather than having it be their next huge yearly release (aka ipad 2 and iphone 5)...but at least they're not making it thinner! (oooo, ahhhh)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
They're targeting the Dr Dre/Justin Bieber fans ;)
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
I doubt if the speaker is any different. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Hell yeah.

Next year..."HTC Ga-Ga Phone"

(don't saw I didn't warn you):rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Guys, beats are in all 1.45 iirc, Damo unlocked it.

Extra space... Hmmm, different partitioning maybe? But who needs it if all the media goes to SD.anyway.

1.5 is more interesting, if hardware is the same, which it is, it means we will get superb 1.5ghz kernel with proper acpu support when it leaks.

Let's put it this way, we are only missing kernel really from SE, and once we get it every user on xda is going to have super special edition ;)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
+1, cant wait to get this kernel because we know it will work safely and properly and presumably not be buggy
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
so the 8260 is native 1.5ghz?

does that mean a custom rom running 1.5 ghz 24/7 in the sensation would have absolutely no drawbacks other than lower battery life? what about the c.p.u temp? and how much of a boost could one expect with the "overclock"?
[HTC Sensation] formula91:
The drawback is the battery life. Going back to the G1, Magic 32B days, the processor was downclocked to 384 mHz because of battery life concerns when the processor was native at 528 mHz. Catch my dig?

On the positive side, the devs might learn faster to overclock both cores by looking at the difference of the sys files for the same CPU with different clock speeds.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
so other than the speaker and headset, are there any difference in the hardware "sound card"?
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
i really doubt that
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Don't see any real change, beside the CPU. Most changes are the bundle accessories.

The new battery has the same capacity as the one on the EVO 3D, which we already know works for the original Sensation. It remains to see if there is any hardware change in the audio department beside the bundle Beats headset and maybe some custom software (which I assume will be dumped here as soon as it is released).

It seems that Qualcomm has improved their Snapdragon yield and is now able to clock them with slightly higher stock frequence (1.2Ghz v 1.5Ghz). HP did the same thing earlier with their TouchPad by announcing a 1.5Ghz model just a few weeks after the 1.2Ghz model was launched. Most people don't seem to have any problem OC-ing their Sensation to 1.5Ghz though.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
I doubt that. Hardware revision is not that straight forward. If their were to go through all the troubles to change the hardware audio chips, they may as well just redesign the phone or do it on a new phone, since HTC refresh their line-up every quarter anyway.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
MSM8260	45 nm	ARMv7	1.2-1.5 GHz Dual-core Scorpion	Adreno 220	Single-channel 333 MHz ISM/266 MHz LPDDR2	GSM (GPRS, EDGE), W-CDMA/UMTS (HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+), MBMS

There we go, looks like msm 8260 is 12.-1.5mhz native.

And more...

[HTC Sensation] Garrett92C:
That's the main thing I'm looking forward to! I already have an Anker battery and really don't need (or want) Beats headphones. :)
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
yeap, and with 100% compatibility.

The new sensation will have the same hardware layout at component level. Not a single resistor would be made different. The reason is very simple in fact. Also, by having some years experience in designing pcb's and various devices, i have a pretty good guess on why the 2 phones are practically the same thing.

Designing a new circuit board takes time and has a big price tag. For every component you change you must retest the whole board, redesign the pcb tracks, inner layers etc. If, let's say you change the flash chip with another one that has different pin layout/functions, you must redesign the pcb tracks connecting the chis chip, remove and reposition some other components that are in the way of the new tracks, retest the whole board for EM interference, PCB design efficiency etc. You won't be doing this only to change a flash chip or replace some 2-3 components. It's bloody expensive. Then the new product must undertake a visit to the FCC to get approval, you must reprogram your production line to manufacture the newer model, pay people to design a different firmware, test it, issue new service notes to the authorized service centers about the new model etc etc

Nobody will do that. The flash is the same, cpu is the same, phone is 100% the same. It runs different software, has another sticker on the packaging, a new pair of headphones and another battery.
[HTC Sensation] lc235:
Exactly which beats headphones are included. Because that would meant that the remote is fully functional with the phone. It seemed impossible for me to find earphones with remotes that are fully functional with android, so I would really want to know about the one included in the special edition.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
They didn't even increase Ram....LAME!
[HTC Sensation] ciaphuas:
I agree with everyone that the only possible upgrade is the beats audio processor. The rest should of been stock on the Sensation 4G. I pointed the minor differences on my site.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
It has more internal memory... Other than that I can't see anything I would need.
