Only phone that will make me jump ship.....maybe lol also if u read we are getting the monster 4.5 inch screen
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
Dog by the time it drops 1.5 ghz will be here.. Won't really be cutting edge any more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea true, but dude 1ghz and 1.5 ghz is only a little noticeably different, what I mean is g2x is sick quick how much faster can we get? lol ya know, still got some mean specs tho and I'm guessing cuz of the overseas version everything should be pretty easy to port over
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
To me we have reached the zenith of specs in the android world (albeit that will be for a short period of time). Will it have active development is the real issue to me. This phone has proven you can have killer specs yet little interest from the developer community. I wasn't here in the beginning but I have a feeling all the problems the first batch of this phone had scared everyone away and scared anyone wanting to get it away from doing so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
I thought exnos doesn't support 42mbs which is what Tmo wants, so it'll be qualcomm...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Just an odd question - Why so much discussion on the SGSII in the G2x forum?

Not that I'm not interested in that phone, just that it seems out of place.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Yep, T-Mobile wants to brag about speeds no one will get to use even if it means destroying beautiful hardware in the process. No wonder the company is struggling.

How does this phone have no interest in the developer community lol. Do you not read the p999 specific commits in cm? We have mui builds, some of the most gifted kernel devs. Sensation has a bunch of similar roms with asthetic changes and no cm.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The Exynos is the cpu. The speed of data is controlled by the baseband. You'll have to wait and see what baseband chip they use in it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
The problem has something to do with the Exynos using the Intel modem which doesn't support 42Mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
This is what I read. Probably easier to just swap in a different processor than to create a compatibility between Exynos and a new baseband chip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
There are no baseband chips that support 42Mbps. The fastest one that I know of is the Qualcomm baseband used in the G2X which support 21Mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
The tmobile rocket modem supports 42.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Just what I was thinking. It's tempting to get the phone, but Prime will come soon after.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
Unfortunately, if T-Mobile is really pushing the 42mbps feature on this phone, it'll be using some variant of the Qualcomm chip, either 1.2 ghz or 1.5 ghz dual-core (some folks at the Galaxy S4G forums allegedly was informed by a rep that it will be sporting a 1.5ghz chip from Qualcomm).

If it is indeed a Qualcomm chip, I strongly suggest you guys pass, cause I know I will. If I'm not mistaken, all these phone chips are all-in-one, meaning that the GPU on the T-Mobile variant will sport some form of Adreno, maybe the 220 as found in the Touchpad?

What made the european version of the GS2 a beast was the custom drivers written by Samsung for the Exynos and its GPU. GPU-acceleration! If they swap over to Qualcomm, I'm not holding my breath for Samsung to spend money writing a custom GPU driver to push for GPU acceleration under the Qualcomm framework. If anything, to compensate for the lack of GPU acceleration, they're likely to just chuck a 1.5 ghz Qualcomm chip in there (which lends some credit to what the other guys are saying at the Galaxy S4G forum).

Just some of my thoughts. It's looking like the T-Mobile variant of the GS2 might be the weakest of the lot this time around.

Exynos > Snapdragon any day, week, year.

P.S. I've also played with the European version of the GS2 for a couple of months and boy is that phone awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
I really hope if it is a Qualcomm crap CPU that the sales are extremely poor. Sadly though the general public knows squat and it will most likely still sell well with the galaxy name attached to it, even though it really doesn't deserve that title.

DT is apathetic. They don't want T-Mobile anymore. Period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DECIM8:
800 x 480 resolution on a 4.3" screen is failsauce. The SGS2 has a lot going for it but that is an oversight, anymore anything over 4" should be qHD IMHO. 800x480 on a 4.5" screen and eliminating GPU acceleration would be dumping a bucket of failsuace into the mix. I would take GPU acceleration over 42mbps any day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Oh ya bro this device has fail written all over it, Nexus Prime is the way to go now

I'd prefer the Qualcomm over TI. But i'd want Tegra2 for gaming.

Not really impressed by the SGS2 tho...the only phone that would make jump ships is the Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC.

Seriously? The Arc? :eek:

Man that sucks guess ill be waiting for the prime, when does that land?

I know right :confused: idk...it just looks so appealing to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquaitious:
Not to be a jerk, but T-Mo, is there really an advantage of having a 42mbps phone, when many people are averaging 2/3mbps on their 21mbps G2x?

I think the most I've heard people say was like 5/6mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Agreed. Over the past few months T-Mobile speeds on ALL my devices has went to ****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
This is what I mean, they butchered the best Android of 2011 to be able to brag about theoretical speeds no one will ever hit.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea I was just gonna post that I mean its not definite but its not a snapdragon, and it is featured in the HP touchpad at 1.2ghz idk I bet its pretty mean
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Lol, hopefully is better or equal to the exynos otherwise alot of people will be dissapointed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
Its too bad the benchmarks does not show the Exynos 1.2ghz chip. At least the 1.5ghz is getting 38 on the scale compared to the LG Optimus 2X at 25 which is the same phone as our G2X. I'm thinking that might even put us ahead of the Exynos 1.2ghz chip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
It's likely confirmed now.

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/09/sams...cidentally-spills-galaxy-s-ii-processor-info/

What a crock of bollocks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Other than the. 00001% of us that are informed on XDA, people are gonna buy it regardless. Sucks cause T-Mobile will think it's ok to pull this BULL****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea it sucks we should have got the exynos version but that qualcomm processor actually isn't too bad and is blazing fast it is only in the HP touchpad rite now......maybe T-Mobile did something rite this time, also it is the latest Gen qualcomm chip and will be the fastest in the states at the time which equals fastest galaxy s2....u decide....I heard the HP touchpad is blazing with that processor
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
I highly doubt the Qualcomm will outperform the Exynos. Also, what are the chances Samsung rewrote the code for the Adreno to add GPU acclerated browsing and UI? I doubt it. We will have to wait and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Exynos would have been ok, but think about it people that chip is already showing it's age. I'd rather have a newer faster chip and qualcomm is a worthy contender to be put into GS2, they already messed with the phone size anyways(and i prefer the bigger screen anyways) so what if they put a newer chip in that's clocked higher.

I have been waiting for this phone since hearing about it back in april/may but even now after selling my g1 to get a mt4g then selling that to get the G2X i might even wait it out a little bit longer till the quadcore phones or even the 28nm krait dual core phones ship in early 2012.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
What do u mean y wouldn't they rewrite it? Its there flagship device plus I think it will be more of a priority with this chip and modem combo for tmobiles 42mbps, idk man I think this thing is gonna fly the new qualcomm chip is no joke either a snapdragon so I'm a little excited to see how nice this thing performs....and don't get me wrong samsungs exynos chip is where its at but....it is a little outdated now. In today's phone standards....and like I said atleast it ain't a snapdragon (sensation), (evo3d) mehhh
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
LAWL.

Have you even USED a Touchpad in its stock format? It is ANYTHING but blazing.

I managed to snag one 32 GB. It was played for maybe 2 hours. It's been collecting dust for the past week or so?

That's how bad I found it to be. I kinda wasted my money on the product. Lawl.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea my friends brother has the HP touchpad and he had everything under the sun and he said it is quick real quick and can do multiple things at once, no problem idk u should take urs. Back maybe???dude plus the chip will be in a phone, and clocked to 1.5... guess lets see what happens rite
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The MSM and APQ 8060 are the same chip. The latter being bare bones with no inbuilt Wi-Fi or GPS support. It's a native 1.5 GHz chip under clocked to 1.2 GHz in the TP and Sensation. All the performance issues experienced with the Sensation will be replicated with the Hercules. It's certainly not going to be an Exynos killer. A saving grace might be Samsung's ability to do more to optimize the hw/sw integration and include browser hardware acceleration. And TW is about a quarter of the size of Sense.

http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/specs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea hopefully its not a fail, and being that tw isn't as big as sense the phone should do OK especially if they add in accelerated browser.....sweet!! Well it would be lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Even if it was possible (it isn't) there is no way Samsung would allow this device to outperform it's own Exynos processor that they were boasting at the launch party. Which should be clear now that they kept it under glass because it is inferior to the other 2 devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
I am seriously considering skipping the Hercules and getting the 5.3 inch Samsung Galaxy Note. Even if i have to dump T-mobile for *sigh* AT&T faux 4G.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
I see what ur saying but listen to what ur saying, so ur saying a chip that cameout 6 to 8 months ago will always be better then the newer processors that Samsung put out? Idk exynos is nice but they wouldn't put out this specific qualcomm chip because they want there. Exynos chip to reign or never be forgotten dude in the mobile industry todays phone is tomorrows old news, i just think the specs are nice Lol dude admit the qualcomm chip is f*cking killer with the specs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Things like make me wish everyone was technically educated. All 98% of T-Mobiles customers will see is 1.5Ghz vs. 1.2 Ghz and 42Mbps vs 21Mbps and they will think "wow! this one is the best of the bunch!!" which couldn't be further from the truth. I hate DT.

You do know this processor is the same exact processor as the sensation and evo3d. those are also apeced at 1500 just either binned down or underclocked.

the rest of the processor is the same . only difference is the evo3d and sensation have radios on the chip and this version does not.

other than that sorry its the same chip.

Until any of us see what Dual Carrier HSPA can do, don't know it. This isn't regular HSPA+ with an increased hypthetical bandwidth.

This is actually a unique modem in here, which in the real world, may very double the data speeds you get know. Go google DC HSPA. This isn't like the jump from 7.2mbps to 14.4, this is an entirely different animal with real world implications.

Whatever they call it marketing wise, it's the Nexus Prime and VZW has the U.S. exclusive for it for some period of time. Being CDMA/LTE it obviously won't work on T-Mobile. If the international version supports AWS bands you can import one from overseas. The T-Mobile SGS2 (Hercules) supports AWS plus all the other bands so the international Prime might too. It might be available in Canada too.

What is the possibility that the 1.5ghz dualcore Snap processor would run better and more effeciently on Samsung's Superamoled plus screen? All the benchmarks run on HTC phones with this chip had way higher resolution screens than 800x400. The benchmarks run on the Hercules display model weeks ago showed benchmarks over 3000 which would be on par with Samsung's own chips. The HTC phones with the 1.5ghz chip gets around 2200. Looks like Samsung already released the kenel code for their Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. They "should" do the same soon after the Hercules release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I don't think this Snapdradon has 60fps limit that Exynos does. So Exynos benchmarks could be higher.
[HTC Sensation] Ethel the Aardvark:
Hi all,

I have searched the threads as best I can so I post this...apologies for the legnth...

It is assumed that the wifi adapter in the Sensation will connect to the strongest signal to give us all the best connection experience possible, however with the proliferation of open wifi signals now on offer in the UK (Openzone and BTFON etc) it is now causing havoc when I don't have BT as an ISP.

The problem:

Currently the priority of the Sensation's wifi radio software seems to be connecting to an open signal first. The strongest is second.

Unlike an alternative Apple product, I haven't found any settings to set a preference for remembered wireless networks and to only apply the other default rules AFTER those preferences.

The Apple product also never connects to a network without the okay from the user. The HTC/Android software connects irrespective. Finally the "forget network" option doesn't work either, as it rescans, picks it up again straight away and because it's "open" connects again.

This always happens in my home as the BTFON signal from next door's BT router is actually stronger at the front of my house that my own router signal from the back. Before anyone says "get another router or position it somewhere else", I can't without spending at least £60+ for a SKY ANYTIME+ wireless receiver (which I refuse to do).

Is there another hidden option for "stock" phones? or perhaps there is a ROM?

What I want it to do is:

1) control which discovered networks I allow my phone to connect to automatically.

2) set a flag to ignore other found wifi networks, regardless of signal strength.

I know these fly in the face of the original idea of the Sensation and HTC, which was to produce a phone that connects to any network as silently and quickly as possible. HTC's "Watch" app and service launched specifically with the Sensation wouldn't have been so great without it.

Has anyone else spotted this with BTFON signals out there or fixed it?

EtA

(Vodafone stock Sensation on 2.3.4)
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
I've got a stock O2 (2.3.3) Sensation and the Forget Network works with BT Openzone, which is good as I've never been able to get past the "enter your phone number" registration page with BT Openzone. Mine also doesn't automatically try to connect to open networks.

If BT wasn't such a scummy internet provider they wouldn't have their home broadband routers broadcasting as BT Openzone providers.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
On stock as well and yes the phone automatically detects the network again after "forgetting" it, but does not auto connect unless I go and tell it to connect again. Not to sure why you're auto connecting after forgetting the network...
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
You know, this sounds like FUD to me. One post and a non-existent problem no one ever reported.

Forget network works just fine. The phone wont' connect to an open network at random.

If this is real it's got to be be user error.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
More than likely just another PEBKAC error...
[HTC Sensation] Ethel the Aardvark:
I'm laughing my socks off at your attempts to belittle me and my issue.

So you both think you are experts do you? How?..based on the number of posts or thanks you have received?

One post of a problem no one has heard of before is how a forum starts off.

Trying to be "clever" with acronyms is childish.

I have posted my issue to HTC and rec'd a sensible response. It is now being looked into.

But then you don't care because its just operator error.

I suppose you never knew that you couldn't input British postal codes into the 'people' app until the bug was spotted. I wonder you raised that first to HtC and then it got fixed...That's right...not you guys either. Too busy belittling members.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Wish more Vodafone users had posted their experience, as I mentioned my O2 2.3.3 only auto connects to known networks and once connected to openzone I can't get past the page asking for my phone number :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Ethel the Aardvark:
As an O2 customer don't you have free Cloud membership?

I used to with my iPhone...Go to McD's and whilst sitting inside connect...I'm sure it's still foc after popping in your phone number.

I thought I could use BTOpenzone as it is offered with Vodafone, but I have to pay seperately otherwise I can't get past the screen you mention either.

I do remember though that even with Cloud coverage my phone would at least download email. It was only browsing that would require passwords etc. Not sure wy this happened really though...seemed to be offering a cherry to tempt buying the cake I suppose.

BTW ...HTC have responded again saying that they are aware there are issues with Wi-Fi connectivity, specifically with baseband (radio) 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M and software 1.45.161.1

They say they will issue "stability" fixes in the next release to vodafoneUK customers (and others UK carriers I presume) in the coming months...

Thanks for this.

Trouble is, that I don't have this application on my phone, although I confess I did at one time but that was two restores ago although it could I suppose have residual data on the SD card. I will check.

I have had a call from HTC Customer Support today as I gave my call experience a bad customer feedback score.

The issue will now be raised further for investigation the developers and they are going to inform me as to when the next update will come out...or at least that is what the guy said...I run a Helpdesk myself at work, so I realise the situation...but we'll see.

HTC have been honest and fair to me in the past so I have good expectations.

I'll report back...

BT Openzone issue

Had this problem myself. If you are on Vodafone then go to the "My Vodafone App", Click the WiFi Finder tab, press the menu key (next to the home button) and click settings. Untick "Enable BT Openzone" and your Sensation will properly "forget" BT Openzones.

Let me know if this helps.
