[HTC Sensation] Dlocc3o3:
Its pointless if you already have the Sensation. Just flash an XE rom.

the only cool thing is the Beats Audio equalizer thing.. and the red on it looks nice too.
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
OK, i've read the whole thread and i'm amazed...

The people talking about hardware issues... do you have a Sensation???? the dust under the screen is something that happened to the first batches of the phone, and if you have it you'll get a new phone if you want (just call HTC)

The screen digitizer problem was solved time ago... just update your phone because it was a software related problem.

The short live battery... update ROM and check you don't have bloatware running because it's not bad.

The Death Grip: I promise the signal drop is really small (and only with wifi), and wifi connection is great ALWAYS, death grip won't drop your connection unless you are already risking the drop because of low signal, and wifi speed is really great!!

If you have updated your phone to latest official HTC ROM and still have problems then root your phone and put one of the wonderful ROMs in the dev section. Problems solved. I recommend the Insert Coin ones (2.2.5 SSE or 2.5.2) with bricked kernel @1.5 Ghz will give you more battery life and no problems with the screen digitizer. And also a much faster phone, of course. I have mine at 1.78 Ghz with IC 2.5.2 and zero issues with good battery time. And 2.5.2 is based on the Sensation XE ROM leak (it is much better than the official XE ROM)

Now that i've cleared those things up...

The 1730 mAh battery of the XE is the same as Evo 3D's battery, and the Evo's battery fits and works perfectly on a standard Sensation.

The XE back cover is the same one we have in the Sensation, but with some red colour on it.

The XE official ROM, and I mean the RUU.exe from HTC works with regular Sensation (see how different they are? :p). And the kernel of that leaked version is an old 2.3.3 which is crap. And show-p1984 has just released his new 2.3.4 kernel which overclocks great and it's the only one without the 3D games problems that came with HTC's 2.3.4 kernel (yes, every Sensation running 2.3.4 has this problem, HTC screwed up big time with the kernel, just play Cordy and you'll find out)

XE and Sensation have exactly the same hardware, just different ROM, battery, headphones and back cover with different colour. The Sensation HAS 4GB internal memory like the XE, but only 1.1 are available for applications. No difference here either.

So, what are we arguing here???? the XE might be an option for some people but not for owners of Sensation because IT'S THE SAME PHONE, DAMN IT!

No one should expect to see any improvements in the hardware because there are none.

Doesn't anybody remember the "music editions" of several nokia models?? Same phone with different ROM and accessories (and price, of course)

If you have a Sensation and want the XE... just flash the ROM, buy the back cover, the Evo3D battery and some good headphones (or the Beats crap) and you'll only miss the red backlighted buttons. By the way, i think red buttons don't look as clear as white ones and will look horrible if you ever decide to change the red theme for something different like the standard green or a blue one. So... XE? NO THANKS, I ALREADY HAVE THAT PHONE!.

It's over clocked to 1.5 there and some of us sensation owner's are over clocked to 1.6 and 1.7 stable hell you could even get insert coin and it will over clocked to 1.5 or ever higher so yes rooting and flashing rom's are much better because we get to decide what we want and what we don't want

Has anyone had any issues with booting into fastboot after the OTA gingerbread update? I've tried multiple times to boot into fastboot to no avail. I've powered down then powered up while pressing the volume down button, then pressing up to start it. Just says "Starting Fastboot protocol support" and will stay like that forever it seems.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
...isn't that all it's supposed to do until you run fastboot commands via USB?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Yes

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

DDUUHHH... I'm special :p just busting your balls man.
[Atrix 4G General] Bell_Atrix:
I had this same issue yesterday...

You need to update your ADB drivers and ensure USB debugging is enabled on your phone.

This should install the correct drivers. You can get them from the motorola support website.

google:

MotoHelper_2.0.51_Driver_5.2.0.exe

Good Luck Sir!
[Atrix 4G General] yourboy:
Oh... wow. Didn't think the drivers would change. I did the downgrade to 2.1 stock from ginger blur, then upgraded to 2.3.4 stock. So I had the drivers for 2.2, I guess the drivers changed when I upgraded.

One more stupid question: Keep the phone connected via usb (in debugging mode), power down, then power up while doing the fastboot button sequence?

Don't know if you could tell or not but kind of a newbie.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
What's with all the hating seriously I know the background of what happened, but that is a battle between the dev's why is the community getting involved in this. Many of the good developers threads are being rated low and I know its is the users who rate them badly all the synergy threads were rated low and at one time they were 3 stars, the AOSP port which is flawless except for sound and camera is rated 4 star! C'mon these people take their time to build these things for us and this is how we repay them? / rant [my opinion is that they should all be 5 stars]!
[HTC EVO 3D] vortec87:
I agree that people should not hate on devs or takes sides based on the dev alone all the devs here are great and work very hard for the fun of it. However, some roms deserve better ratings than others, otherwise why have a rating system.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Try to use punctuation to separate your sentences. I can't understand what you are saying when you deliver it in stream-of-consciousness.

Why do some people need to be grammar nazis lol is it really that hard
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
That post is a joke right? If your going to correct, how about you stay on topic. First rule of school is make sure you write about what the subjuct matter . The subject matter is NOT grammer...duh.. you can't critize when you break grammer rules also.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
lol happy, there fixed it for those who . . .
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
true, but all the synergy roms are great, and also the AOSP port. Some got rated low after all the drama before that they were five stars. Just saying, I'm sure this bothers some of the developers [rating system]

Lol thanks for the laugh
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
Looks like the wait is over... for everyone excited about getting the US version of the optimus 3D you will be happy to know there will be no more delays...

I visited the radioshack store where I placed my pre-order weeks ago... the manager informed me they just recieveid word from att to expect their shipment for the Sunday release..

The delays were apparently due to three factors if I remember corectly.... one as noted by several phone reviewers there was a small defect on select devices rendering a yellowish hue on the bottom of the screen... also LG was supposed to have a manufacturers deal with Corning, the makers of Gorilla Glass... the deal was somehow last second at risk and LG was pondering having to raise the price on the phone... finally they were going to give the Thrill an OTA update to Gingerbread... but decided on releasing it with the latest OS right off the bat.

Those of you who may remember LG promised about the optimus 3D that the gingerbread update would contain the ability to give any app created with OpenGL to take advantage of the 3D glasses free display... even if it had not been programmed to do this from the app creators... hopefully this ability will crossover into the identical cousin the Thrill...

So great news for all you patient upgraders and smartphone junkies... your wait is over!!!
[LG Thrill 4G] pamaguin:
I have an upgrade available and currently still debating on weather to get this phone or wait for the SGSII....:confused:
[LG Thrill 4G] aohus:
they're selling it for $29 at Costco at some locations in the South.

YMMV though.
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
Stopped at radioshack where I preordered it... I was the only one... haha they could sell it to me today but I left my giftcard at home... I will pick it up tomorrow... it still had froyo on it and it was surprisingly thin and lightweight... I really liked it... superr fast!!!! Everyone in the store wanted to play with it hahaha...
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
I picked one up at radioshack (target kiosk) today for 49.99
[LG Thrill 4G] pamaguin:
is the screen gorilla glass?
[LG Thrill 4G] gentzleon:
costco 29.99 and free accesories...I picked it up 2 days ahead of time...I think the gingerbread release will make the phone better.It feels slugish compared to my inspire..but love it...I know custom roms will make this greater...
[LG Thrill 4G] topsales:
Looks good to me. I may get one. I have an upgrade due.
[LG Thrill 4G] baudilus:
Wait for the SGS2 (supposedly coming in two weeks on the 18th) then play with both in store.

I came from a Captivate and had an Infuse for two weeks before returning it for the Thrill. I was contemplating the same thing, but there were two factors that did it for me.

Memories in 3D - I took a test picture of my daughter at the store and was sold from that moment. She's two years old, and while handsets with better 3D capabilities are forthcoming, she won't be two forever. Since I'm pretty sure all TVs in the future will eventually be 3D capable, having these pictures is priceless to me, even if the pictures aren't the best. While the SGS2 will definitely be a "hot" phone, it can't ever have 3D capabilities.

Sufficient Specs - While it's not a "beast" in terms of hardware, I thought long and hard over what I really needed. 1GB of RAM on the SGS2 versus 512MB dual channel on the Thrill. I wanted the 1GB of the SGS2, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that for today and the coming months, I would probably never use that much memory. Heck, my Infuse wasn't really experiencing any slowdowns, and that's single core.

So in the end I decided to sacrifice "cutting edge" (which in reality is still like 6 months old) for 3D capabilities.

I'd recommend that you try them both out, if you're not in a hurry.

I thought I'd miss the screen of the Infuse a lot, and while it was a great screen, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Your mileage may vary.

From what I'm told, no. The AT&T store had a pack of three screen protectors for $10, so I picked them up along with a case when I returned my Infuse.
[LG Thrill 4G] JonGarrett:
Got my LG Thrill yesterday and I hoped it would be a replacement for my iPhone 4. I like it so far but compared to my iPhone 4 its about the same.

I too want to see a Thrill section as well.

thnx.

Thanks for clarifying that it is not gorilla glass......time to get a screen protector ;)
[HTC Desire S] PaddyShepherd:
Okay, I'm running Launcher Pro Plus home screens, and WidgetLocker lockscreen, with the Pacman Slider unlock (as shown), set up so that Pacman > Ghost unlocks the phone, and Ghost > Pacman opens sms. I recently downloaded an app called 'Fake broken phone', which shows the broken screen as shown, and would like it so that when Ghost > Pacman, it opens this, y'know to scare my friends if they do it haha, which is easy enough, BUT, when I attach it it changes from the Pacman ghost, to the application's icon, and I can't seem to change it back. I'd also like to turn the sound off this app, as when it opens it makes a sound making it sound sooooo fake. Could anyone help with any of these two things? :) Thanks alot. (Sorry if this question is kinda nooby, i'm new to android. Also please note my phone is NOT ROOTED, as I was having trouble turning S-Off, and don't quite want to void my warranty yet as it's a brand new phone).

[Verizon Droid Charge] caesus:
So I have two Samsung Droid Charges on my account.

One of them is completely stock, very minimal apps because it is a work phone and has to comply with provisioning standards for my company.

One is my personal phone, which I have rooted and have used various versions of Gummy and Humble, currently running Gummy 2.0 with the EP1Q radio.

While I absolutely love the screen and form-factor of this phone (even the hardware buttons), it seems to have a fatal flaw that I cannot abide. Verizon and Samsung both seem to be oblivious to the issue, but I have experienced it on both phones in several major markets (Atlanta, Charlotte, Norfolk, Richmond, etc).

Occasionally, my phone will simply lose all signal. It will display a 4G/3G/1x icon depending on my coverage area, but the bars will be empty with an "X" and I am unable to make phone calls or send text messages.

At other times, the data connection will simply disappear for no reason, even when I have solid coverage. There are areas where I know I have good service (my office, my home) and I simply lose data for no reason.

Each of these issues occurs randomly as I will have one phone sitting next to the other with signal or data, while the other one does not have it.

Sometimes switching airplane mode on/off will work, but usually I end up having to reboot the phone.

I am posting this to see if there are others experiencing these same issues because Verizon is giving me some push back, insisting that I go through the replacement process (receive a refurb Charge), despite the fact that one of the phones is already a replacement and one was a retail unit off the shelf, indicating the issue is - if not widespread - certainly not isolated.

If there are more people notifying Verizon, they may make it easier for those of us who experience these issues and cannot wait for a software update for which Samsung is notoriously slow at releasing.

(Side Note: The issue seems to be way worse in 3G coverage areas, but it also happens in 4G areas.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
its a known bug with the modems a lot of people have data drop problems. hopefully when GB official is released it will have a better modem
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
We would've had GB a LONG time ago if Sammy wasn't fiddling around with the stupid Galaxy S2. They neglect every other phone on their lineup just because the Galaxy S2 sold so well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] eric2112:
I had 'spotty coverage' with my Charge with some of the older ROMs, however, since I have been on EP1Q (Stock debloated) I have had so few issues that I am perfectly happy to use the ROM as my daily driver.

The radio is fantastic as are my DL speeds. Auto brightness works again as well as the hardware key backlights. The best part of the ROM is the absolutely fantastic battery life! I take my phone off the charger at about 7am every morning and still have 50% left on the battery after almost 15 hours. Throughout that time, I send and recieve alot of email and text messages, make several short calls to colleagues and of course there is the innevitable round of Angry Birds while on the can.

All in all, I love this device!!!

~E~
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
It happens to all of us. Go try getting a new SIM.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jarnoldsr:
I had the problem with my Thunderbolt I bought on the first day fought with version constantly they replaced 4 of them before they sent me this charge, and guess what same issues. I am not a expert but I believe it's the network. Lte has problems and Verizon isn't saying anything for fear of looking bad. They have invested their future in it but there are issues and holding signal is one of them. Battery life is another that has to improve Apple can't release a phone until this is worked out unlike android you can't pop another battery in after 6 hours. BTW 3g had the same issues in the beginning
[Verizon Droid Charge] pice:
I was having the same problem as you. Would go from 3g to 1x to nothing. Sometimes it would return in a few seconds sometime i would have to toggle data on/off/on or airplane mode and sometimes it would take a full rebot to fix the problem. I also would lose voice too but didnt happen no where near as often.

Ive had the problems from day one on stock non rooted EE4 and all the rooted roms ive ran. I didnt want to replace my phone with a recert phone so i got the verizon tech to just replace my sim card. Also updated my modem to the newest one the day after i got the new sim card.

Ive been running the new GC 2.0 FE for almost a week, along with a new Sim card and updated modems and have yet to lose voice or data at all.

As another suggested try getting verizon to replace your sim and/or reflash the newest modem. Hope that helps you it did for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
give the EP1Q modem a try, my signal has improved immensely in the few crappy areas around here
[Verizon Droid Charge] caesus:
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm already on my second SIM card and I've experienced the issue on both my stock Charge and my Charge that has been on Gingerbread (currently GC 2.0) and has the EP1Q radio.

I'm just going to head up to VZW next week, show them the threads and hopefully have one of the phones flip out while I'm there and not leave until they either offer a lateral replacement or give me a real time frame for a software fix.

Dude.. That's an excellent point about the IPhone.. Once you Die.... Your Dead! God I Love me Droid Charge !
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
Actually, it's not. My wife has an iPhone and the battery lasts FOREVER in that damn thing. It irritates the hell out of me.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my gummy charge and would never buy an iPhone but her battery life is WAY WAY better than any Droid phone. Sure, you can't replace the battery but hers never fails to make it through a day of HEAVY use anyway so she doesn't care.......

[Verizon Droid Charge] rami98:
Some of my friends have iPhones too (the dumb ones :)) and the only thing im jealous of is the damn battery life. It has a 1420mah battery and easily lasts twice as long as an android phone. The iPod Touch (i happen to have a 3rd gen from before i got an android phone) lasts for a whole week with a 950 mah battery. i want you to get that galaxy player wifi and try getting that thing to last a whole week. I know that there are much more proccesses running in android and real multitasking (not the **** apple feeds to there customers on a white pretty boxed platter) but still, thats how they get that battery life, by limiting functionality. I am not pro apple or completely anti-apple, more pro android and google :), but one thing apple has got in the bag is battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
An Android device can run just as long if not longer than an iPhone, it simply depends on usage. I'm pretty sure the way Android handles multitasking compared to iOS and push notifications play a role, too.

Regardless, my Nook Color can idle for a couple of weeks with a custom Froyo ROM and kernel. My Droid Charge has lasted me over a day with moderate usage, easily. With heavy use, I get 12-16 hours pretty easily. If I turn off data completely and only use my phone for texting and voice calls, the phone lasts two days, no problem.

Usage is key, and is often misunderstood and judged improperly/subjectively.
[Verizon Droid Charge] afmracer6:
But at the end of the day. My droid charge is out of battery and my girls iphone is at 70 percent. I remember reading somewhere that apple has special patented battery technology too. Android needs some special battery technology. I will gladly pay more for a better product.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
It's because the iPhone doesn't have that obnoxious hog we call the LTE radio. If you set your phone to CDMA(it disables 4g) you can effectively double your battery life. I disable mine if I'm going somewhere and I know I won't be back in 10+ hours. Or if I'm going somewhere that doesn't have 4g, the battery life with 3g only is CRAZY.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
You fail to describe how you and your "girl" use the phone. My money says that you use your phone more heavily than she does. As another poster mentioned, how you use the phone and what apps you are running make a big difference. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the results were quite a bit different if ya'll switched phones for a day, but continued using them the way you would normally use your phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
You can't compare your gfs iphone to your Charge if you're using the LTE modem. Completely different animals. Once iphones have lte, then you can compare away.

Besides I get incredible battery life from my Charge. I can easily last 20 hrs.

Back to topic however, yes I too have problems with connectivity regardless of Roms or modems I've flashed. If I had to guess, I would say its a network issue with LTE phones... anybody know if the Revolution has similar problems? I believe the TBolt does as someone mentioned earlier, but nobody seems to talk about the Revolution.
[Verizon Droid Charge] caesus:
Well just to update, I had a pretty serious situation that was caused by this issue. Verizon is unable to provide a firm timeline for an update and won't even confirm that any forthcoming updates will resolve the issue (which they have not yet officially recognized).

That said, the situation I encountered was significant enough that they are issuing a credit toward my bill and the GM of my local corporate store is working on having my phones replaced.

As much as I absolutely love this phone (as one user said in another thread, SAMOLED+ is like the heroin of phone displays), having a phone that is unreliable in important or emergency situations is just absolutely not acceptable to me.

If they do allow me to change phones, I will do my best to move to another 4G phone (not the tbolt obviously) and I will report back on whether or not it appears to be a network issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jarnoldsr:
You will find most of your problems will follow you from one 4g phone to another. There are already a few grumblings in the bionic forums radio staying locked on and battery and that is a huge battery
