[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallnSaint:
The wife has an epic & I sport the shift, we hate each others phones. For me the epic is sluggish & not as responsive as my shift so I end up double tapping a lot, kinda like driving a sports car then hopping into a minivan. I have rooted both & must admit the one click root for the epic is much less involved than the shifts root method (2.2 anyway). Having said that, the roms available for the shift are much better than the epics. However, the quantity on the epic side are far greater than the shift side. Quality over quantity? Cpu on stock gives the shift an advantage, even though it is clocked lower, it kicks the epics a$$. Overclocked the shift screams by the epic, topping out at 2 ghz, whereas the epic struggles at 1.4 ghz. Graphix on the epic definitely put the shift to shame, maybe shame is a bit strong...

Point is, for me, the epic feels cheap in the hand compared to my shift. I like to push a button and go, not wait for the system to process. Either way you go, get a custom rom installed asap, and never look back.

You're going to be stuck without another upgrade for two years. You should buy an Evo Shift outright or off cl/ebay, then sell it and upgrade to a shiny new faster phone when one with a keyboard comes out. The Shift is going to be sorely outdated long before another upgrade comes around.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Wow! Ummm ok :p . Funny. I heard the same statement from someone when I bought my EVO4G a few years ago. It seems to me that statement turned out to slightly incorrect :p . Considering the Shift outperforms the OG EVO in just about every category. I'm going to have to disagree with your statement.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Thanks so much for all your input guys! I was already pretty sold toward the Shift. As you can see in my sig I have a MT4G and I love HTC! They make the best phones. She has the Moment right now and hates the hell out of the thing. Even rooted the thing just sucks ass. It runs slower than my MT3G did. So I was worried about getting her another Samsung. You guys have definitely helped a lot! Thanks again!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illaparatzo:
Uh, the original evo is only barely over a year old and had brand new hardware when it came out, so not sure why someone would have been telling you that back then. The shift is nearly a year old at this point and will be nearly three years old by the end of a new contract. Not quite the same kind of situation.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicksimmons336:
If you root it there are plenty of ROM's and many more coming for the Shift so it will not be out dated anytime soon. As of now you can overclock the Shift to 1.9 ghz and there is no phone capable of doing this and wont be so it doesn't matter what the upcoming phones have on them because there will be a ROM that gives him/her all of that.

So to the poster I would go with the shift it is a great phone i have had it now for a few months and used my upgrade on it. So far no problems and personally i would recommend if you root it to run Synergy Rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yeah sprints network is getting worse by the day. I used to get 1 megs Down on 3g a year ago when I first got my epic. Now on going about 300-400 kbps on my original epic and my epic touch. It seems so slow.

I bet your neighbor is using tethering and downloading torrents just to see how much data he can use in a month. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jobryan26:
This could very well be possible. I have heard that this is actually why Epic 4G Touch users have been suffering from the dropped voice/data, because Sprint has begun updating their towers. I heard this I believe it was on the Android Central forums by someone from Sprint. I'm too lazy to try to find it but it was a topic regarding the random radio drops on the E4GT. I thought the rep was referring to LTE upgrades but it might also be Rev B. I know they are killing off IDEN next year so who knows.. Sprint doesn't even know what they are doing half of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LexLuger82:
Nerdy ass xda members ****ing up the network doing that dumb ****, smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkflame:
My data usage sucks during the day. Just more people on the network LOL.

3AM data speeds (home) are about 800-1000Kb/sec

3PM data speeds (home) are about 90-240Kb/sec

4AM data speeds (at work / airport) are abut 800-1100Kb

2PM data speeds (at work / airport) are still about 500-900kb)

Where I live at home there are about 200 buildings all like 20+ floors in probably a mile radius. Wifi channels are cramped so I tend to run my wifi routers at the end of the channel spectrum since most people by default are killing channel 6.

It's really a tower to population issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michael_W_L:
My friend is an avid iPhone user and doesn't even bother looking at other devices really, but took a look at my omnia 7 and stated that while the interface looks far better, the home screen contains LESS information than the static icons with numbers next to them...

How do other users feel, do the vast amount of icons with numbered notifications, i.e. 20 icons on page 1, feel like more useful data than having about 6 tiles which can potentially hold more data overall and have the data be dynamic, more than just that there is a change in the app.

So simply, large amounts of static data or smaller amounts of dynamic data?
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
you open up a can of worms :p

it's personal taste I believe. I personally prefer the tile UI. I have relatives who currently own an iPhone and are very impressed with the WP7. The OS is only a year old and can only grow in user experience and performance. iOS seems to be an outdated OS IMHO. Very often it's what you got used to that works best for you and it's difficult to change to something new. iOS dominated the smartphone market for a long time. Give it 2-3 years and WP7 or WP8 will look outdated....

A poll in a Forum topic dedicated to WP7 that asks which UI is preferred will not provide any insight because most of us here decided to use WP7 for the very reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michael_W_L:
I like both, though, if the double sided tiles are used properly, tiles will win in my eyes. Having only a number as a notification got bland quickly to me, I liked that I knew exactly what had updates, but to do anything, I had to open an app. Tiles allow for you to see something, see if you want to reply now, or just leave it.

Smaller tiles woildn't work though, tiles will always have less items on the main display than icons.

I guess that it depends on how quickly you want to access your apps! I mean there are only about 5 notifications I can think of that are important tbh. App updates(that can rather be on the lower segment, news possibly weather possibly, messages, IM app email phone.

I was attracted to wp7 because of c#, and the panoramic UI, the tiles were a non-sequitor. At least it was fast, unlike the home screen of the 5800 I usd, which gives me nightmares still!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The iPhone home screen isn't static icons. When you get notifications in, there's a ticker by the application icon similar to the stars that appear by icons on a Blackberry. Android skins like TouchWiz 4.0 and Sense 3.0/3.5 use similar tickers.

It really depends on how you look at it, TBQH.

Tiles are big so you cannot see as many application icons/tiles on one screen in WP7 as you can icon on an iPhones, so if they have all their most-used applications on their home pane, they may very well see more information on their home screen than you do.

*Most* WP7 "Live Tiles" are nothing more than a number that appears on the icon.

iOS5 will have a completely revamped Notification System, though, so things get interesting when you look forward. Heres to hoping Microsoft gives us a useful notification system cause Tile Counters/Live Tiles and Toasts aren't nearly enough. Apple seems to have found that out, so hopefully Microsoft will - eventually.

Not voting in the poll cause the options are ignorant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michael_W_L:
I see icons with tickers as static data. I see tiles with just numbers in the same way. Sadly alot of tiles are just oversized icons with tickers. Double sided tiles should make for more active tiles, but I completely agree that most are just basically icons with tickers.

The poll isn't wp7 vs iPhone, the poll is static data vs dynamic. The static data type gives consistent data which can be viewed in only one way. This is a nice general type, combine that with the ios notification system, or bada's current one and you have glanceble data with the possibility of seeign it all quickly.

Dynamic data on the otherhand would be like pinning a person and seeing their latest updates OR their latest pictures. Multiple possible data types which contain more information immediately. But it uses far more real estate as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Next version of apple's os will steal android's notification system so its a moot point imo. Tiles are cute, but as the cornerstone of the wp7 notification system its pretty terrible. I'm still in awe that they did nothing to improve notifications in mangos. I just cannot believe it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Its personal taste (as someone else said). For me the best notifiactions system came with WebOS, I also like the android system and the WP7 system. I don't like the current ios notifications (on my ipad) but I guess when ios 5 comes (with android style notifications) that will be OK too. For me, the main plus point of WP7 over the other UI's is the simple uncluttered view. I am forever "losing my place" on my ipad screens, it was the same with my Android Desire too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
How can you lose your place when you have dots that tell you what pane you're on?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Could never remember which pane I had pinned an app on, my eyesight is not brilliant and the small app icons (even on the ipad) are difficult for me to pick out sometimes - like I said though, it is a personal thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
One thing remind me.

Windows Phone 7 + Apple's Store apps = WIN.

Apps is one of the main reason people choose iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
And, unfortunately, one thing that is starting to come out more and more in customer surveys is that most people who own iPhones are reluctant to switch to another platform because of their investment in their apps. Not only have they paid for them, they spent the time to learn how to use them (and let's face it, most apps behave differently on WP7 than they do on iOS, because of the differences in the OS itself).
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yep and developers give ios versions preferential treatment on top of that. Faster feature updates, bug fixes, etc.

EDIT: And this is a big issue since developers do not allow you to transfer licenses you've already bought on one platform to another. With some apps costing $9.99 or more in some cases (really once you get to $4.99 people start feeling locked in if they have to repurchase), this becomes an issue quite quickly.

Bought 10 apps over the span of 2 years on another platform that you use a lot. When you move to another one, you have to repurchase them immediately. You don't get 2 more years to do it, unless you want to cripple your usage patterns for inordinate amounts of time. That can be anywhere from 10 to 100 bucks, more in some cases, right off the bat.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davepermen:
One thing that isn't true with mango anymore, and I love it, is the one to one mapping from app to tile/icon.

Now I only map the content that I care about from apps to my main screen. Even multiple things from one App. Instead of having just huge app Icons.

So for the first time, Tiles start to be really different to being just big App-Icons. They start to be Content-Tiles. It's a huge difference, and something the iPhone right now does not provide.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Yeah, i still remember the version of Angry Bird on Android and iOS are free. and we have to pay for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's unbelievable how cheap people can get to see this as a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Most people (as in, the overwhelmingly vast majority) don't have unlimited disposable income. They get their phones on contract, so they can get heavily subsidized prices. Further, most people aren't thrilled at the prospect of paying a second fee for their apps, just to move from one phone platform to another. Purchasing a second license to add a second device would be a different matter, but that is not what we are discussing here. It would be paying an additional fee simply to maintain what they already have. When faced with that choice, most people will stay where they are. It is basic human nature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gentry33:
So if purchased apps keep someone glued to a platform Microsoft must be betting on getting the lion's share of users coming from a 'non' smartphone; like me.;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Unlimited income? We're talking $10-100 here, and since you mention subsidized handsets, "first world" countries. I understand that people don't like paying (twice) but this isn't money we're talking about, it's pocket change.

What a world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
That's the thing, iOS notification on the home screen isn't changing. It will still be static little bubbles. Live tiles could change how they work, what they do and show, they already are animated and double sided and get push notification. And I have mango and some changes on how they work is great to see.

I have my tiles set up like this: phone and alarm tiles on top, messaging and people hub, my personal linked email accounts and then my work, xbox hub with 7 more tiles of the games I am playing, Zune and resco radio, calendar, ie9 and maps, arkwords, weather apps with live tile, and so on. 40 tiles in total, and all of the info I need on one screen that scrolls smoothly. I love it ^_^

Android killed your home screen app to save ram. You probably have to many app running at once. Also nice Jordan retro 5's
[HTC Sensation] the1n0nlykingd:
Oh ok thank you.. What can I do to keep the apps from running when not in use?
[HTC Sensation] john21511:
I use superbox from the marketplace. It let's you force close all the craps and it has some other stuff with it too. I close stuff and normally have over 300 mb free of ram for the day.

Ok I'll download that
[HTC Sensation] john21511:
If you need help using it shoot me a pm.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
i've got exactly the same problem. i can't find superbox in Market either.

Is there a way to avoid Android shutting down Sense?
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
I also noticed you are using antivirus , its not really necessary but that app takes lots of RAM and CPU time, which also discharges your battery faster. If you are really paranoid about viruses at least get an antivirus that doesnt run in the bakground all the time :D

Dr. Web lite is a decent app
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
Ok, i will remove the antivirus app. Read it before that it's not needed :-)

Thanks for your input.
[HTC Sensation] Genericcitizen:
Had the same problem with an anti virus program - removing it fixed the white screen probelm for me also.
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I removed anti-virus and hope it'll be better now. Thanks for the reply !
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
With Yoo many apps open it happens again. Must be a memory and closing sense-problem. Is there no possibility to select programs like Sense and 3g-watchdog to remain allways open?
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
I think it's also related to Sense 3.0 being a bit heavy, doesn't ICS + 3.6 fix this?

I also experience the same when using alot of apps at the same time, just software-related
[HTC Sensation] Koenhen:
I don't know... I've got only the updates from htc .....

where can i find Roms?

Where can i find custom roms for HTC Sensation xe?
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
Go over to ARHD thread and all about the supercharge script, installing that keeps you from getting that white screen.

Swyped on HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Keito Tokunome:
I tried several antivirus caused me the same, finally i decided not to use any.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Well now you should just try using a custom rom, extremely rare that sense will restart in one of those unless you have messed it up. Don't forget to .make a backup of your current setup.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Your question is in the wrong thread. You should check the Sensation Android Development Section for Sensation/XE/4G stock/custom ROMs.

My videos are on the phone's memory and not on an external sd and I don't have a LOST.DIR on my phone.

If I go to folder details and check last modified date I notice that all folders, from which videos have disappeared, have been modified at the same time.

I uploaded my backed up videos but after one week they were deleted again.

I don't think it's a resolution issue because I have two similar videos, one disappeared while the other is still there.

I have the same problem and it only affects video files. It happens after reboots or after remounting my sdcard, so I suspect it is related to the mediascanner.

By the way do you have Vitamio installed? I seem to have this problem after installing this but I have no concrete evidence that Vitamio is causing the issue. Managed to capture a logcat when the videos disappeared could find nothing conclusive.

For now, I have uninstalled Vitamio to see if the persist (so that I can eliminate Vitamio as a culprit). Shall report back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmaskedemperor:
yes i have vitamio installed.

do you have smart lock installed? we need to see what is common between all of us.

please report back. thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desean:
smart lock no.

as i said, the problem is related to the mediascanner which makes vitamio a prime suspect. however i am still trying to confirm that.

you can try to uninstall vitamio and see if the problem still persist for you.

fyi, I have just wrote to the developers of Vitamio (email: service@vov.io) to investigate (and validate) the issue based on my testing and observation. I have also provided my logcat to them. I have also provided them a link to this topic as further evidence.

Let's see what response we get from them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vovio:
Hi all,

I'm the engineer from VOV IO, we investigated Vitamio's code and found the problem was raised by Vitamio.

I'm very sorry for that and will provide an update to this library.

However, Vitamio doesn't collect any personal information, the mediascanner is designed to provide the same interfaces to developers with Android's MediaScanner.
