[HTC Sensation] mstyle88:
Hey all,

I’ve been having some issues with the hard drive on my G2 and getting it exchanged through warranty. I’m looking into selling it and picking up a new Sensation on eBay instead. I have a few questions and wanted to get your opinion on the device as I’m a little on the fence. With my G2 I like the stability, screen size and battery life. However I don’t like the thickness, I never use the keyboard and I hate the loose hinge. I like how HTC built the Sensation- it has a larger screen but it is by no means is it a huge phone.

-	How is the ‘out-of-box software’ experience? I’m not one to install a different ROM or root and I’m a Mac user with no access to a PC. I liked the G2 ‘almost stock Android’ software and it was very reliable. Do you find it buggy? How bad is the bloatware?

-	How is the battery life? This is one of the best features of the G2. It can last a very long day with many tasks. I don’t use a lot of battery-draining activities. I generally check text, email, twitter, Facebook, news and Google Reader throughout the day. Will I get a full day with the Sensation?

Thanks for your advice in advance.
[HTC Sensation] dream-merchant:
Much poor battery life. With normal usage, it lasts only around half a day. If your criteria is "at least a good battery life", then htc sensation should definitely not be an option for you.

Sometimes i wanna SUE the HTC :@
[HTC Sensation] osugsxr:
battery life will vary, mine is typically about 2 days with medium usage. Check out craigslist, I picked up mine for $230, unlocked it and rooted before I started using it. Cant go wrong with this phone
[HTC Sensation] whato1986:
You shouldn't speak for all Sensation users.

I've found my battery life excellent, with fair-moderate use it lasts approximately 36 hours for me using CM7 build 4.
[HTC Sensation] beberobu:
He have right man, with normal use the battery lasts around half of day. Mine and to ather 4 mine friend is asame ! And we have all android on it. Windows it keept more of course but default is Android on them and we love it as it is. If u want CM7 on it is your misunderstood desire. But we do not care how you get on your phone with Windows. If I want to take my toy figurines taken from the store of toy figurines, right ?
[HTC Sensation] mstyle88:
Thanks for the fast responses. After doing some searching, it looks like a lot of people have picked up the Anker battery eBay and have seen excellent results extending battery life. I think with that I could get through a long day.

Will rooting/s-off and removing bloatware help battery life? Also, do you need to have a Windows PC to root/s-off?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Flippin_Sweet:
This phone stock is terrible compared to rooted. Almost any custom rom is better than stock, battery and performance wise.

The phones good at stock but fairly sluggish, if your keeping it stock its prob not going to be better than the sg2

Also I think u can root from a mac
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
The stock software is not terrible! I'm not rooted, got launcher pro on it and its very fast! Sense is pretty nice though but lacks when it comes to customising.

You don't need to root to be able to customise the phone a lot. I picked up an anker battery and I like it. With light use I can get 30+ hours. With normal use like you described, texts calls emails facebook browsing the odd game I can easily make it through the day. With heavy use ie lots of screen time you might have to plug it in before bedtime. Depends how long your day is I suppose!

I don't regret buying this phone at all. It's a beautiful device.

[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I am totally stock but S-OFF. In my opinion, you do not need to root or flash custom rom's to appreciate this device. Out of the box, the sensation is already an amazing phone. I don't understand why other people keep saying that it is slow, maybe they have a faulty handset. For me it is very fast! You can't go wrong with this phone.
[HTC Sensation] mstyle88:
Is 'root' and 'S-off' not the same thing?

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Nevermind after some searching, I learned the difference.
[HTC Sensation] Divine flaw:
s-off means security off...... you need to s-off the device in order to write data into the nand as i understand it(anyone can corect me if im wrong.) root gives you root access to the device and with it you can remove or freeze the bloat ware on your phone. two entirely different things

back on topic: i love my sensation. i get through the day at work without charging it. my usuage is mainly text (heavy text) but i do check facebook, and read news and the occasional phone call. im rooted also but runnin stock rom with bloat ware removed and it works just fine for me. just like yourpassanger said the stock rom is not terrible at all.
[HTC Sensation] Flippin_Sweet:
Lol have u tried custom roms? I'm telling you android revolution is a lot smoother than stock. I regretted getting this phone till I rooted it, now I'm glad I've got it
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
Dude, what are you talking about?

And, where in this thread was there any mention of running windows on our phones?
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
You sound like you have a functional brain in your head that actually uses some common sense.

Good.

The phone as I received it is nice,not perfect .... there's no such thing.

Eeyup,there's some useless app's installed,but for someone else they're probably perfect.

I haven't rooted mine because of the warranty factor.

I'm waiting on an Anker battery.

That should make the experience a little nicer.

Let's face it: The more you use the phone like a pocket computer,the harder the processor works and the more battery power it uses.

Therefore,if you use it like a laptop,you'd better be packing some spare batteries or a Mugen 3500.

Otherwise it's a nicely built little phone,with a great screen and good processing power.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
What's a safe level to overclock my phone to? I'm running the latest MIUI (1.9.16) with the lastest Tiamat kernel (1.1.3) I'm at about 1344 MHz right now. Can I go much highter?

Sent from my rooted, MIUI DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
From my testing, I've found there isn't to much to be gained going over 1.6ghz.

For a safe level I keep mine at 1.2 ghz. This has worked out well for me. Try different frequencies and see what works out for your needs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
I'm running JDKernel with the max set at 1.5 ghz, using the smartass governor. When I look at the "time in state" info, it usually shows about 75% of my time spent at 768 mhz. Seems to be working great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Well, I tried bumping it up to 1.6, and I locked my phone and the screen turned off, but the keys stayed on, and it wouldn't come back up. So I pulled the battery and went back to 1.3 like it was before. Now its working great. I'm on smartass v2

Sent from my rooted, MIUI DInc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
If your having lockups, try installing Incredicontrol from the market and bump up the voltage on the higher frequencies 25-50mv, this should keep you from locking up. I do this when I use the performance governor and want to run Quadrant or Linpack .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I've been using SetCPU, cuz I couldn't understand Incredicontrol..... What's ideal if I'm running around 1.6 for voltage?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
On the Jd Kernal, I'll bump it up to 1450 and go from there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
So, you don't know about for Tiamat? I'm using that one.

Plus, would anyone recommend using his Incredikernel as well?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I'll go about the same on the Tiamat. I usually will start at 50 mv over whatever the stock setting is on the kernel when running performance runs.

I didn't know that Chad had done a Kernel for Aosp romed Dinc2's. I know his Dinc1 Kernels were great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
I accidently had my phone at 1.9 for a day running jdkernel, no crashes or anything

Atm when my phone is charging, it gets bumped up to 1.4 and i have no issues at that speed.
[Thunderbolt General] rommel500:
I am running CM7 RC 1.61 with the 0.01.76.0703_2 LTE radio listed from the radio thread. We had LTE rolled out to our city a couple weeks ago and everything had been working great until last Thursday when I just stopped getting 4G.

I did a full wipe of the phone, flash to the newest version of the LTE radio, went to Verizon yesterday and spent 2 hours there to have them switch out my sim, call their tech support which was no help and still nothing. If I switch over to LTE/CDMA mode on my phone it usually switches back and forth between 1x and 3G never switching to 4G. I have a few test phones from Verizon a Samsung Charge and a LG Revolution sitting at my desk and both have full 4G reception all day without any issues.

Anybody have an ideas I can try or something I can check? I am honestly thinking I need to get a replacement phone....?
[Thunderbolt General] OffcerClancy:
I don't run CM, but I believe I saw tosomething on its xda download page listing a way to get 4g to work on CM.
[Thunderbolt General] neomorphix:
Have you looked at this page yet?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057757
[Thunderbolt General] rommel500:
Yes I looked at that page and tried all of the suggestions. Nothing has seemed to fix it. Also the suggestions from that page have a radio version that does not seem to work with my phone.

But I think that page was for much earlier versions of the CM7 RC for the Thunderbolt.

Anybody else have some ideas????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _Burst_:
Cool! More themers!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Also, some luck to you that this thread lasts longer than mine.

I posted a similar placeholder but it got deleted due to lack of content.

Haters...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'm not really sure yet... I like how samsung has done the greens, blues, blacks and yellows in their theme. Although the signal and battery leaves much to be desired... It'll probably end up 2 themes... 1 greenish and one bluish... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
I would love Bluish, thanks can wait to root this gorgeous phone.

Sent from my Super Amoled Epic Touch....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Man I hope that doesn't happen... Actually I've been around since SDX (had the moment and followed your work there too) and admire your work Burst... If they delete you I can just imagine what they will do to me... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _Burst_:
Meh, i wouldnt worry about it. i think it got deleted because it turned into a bashfest.

But like i said at sdx, once i get back from vegas, it is on like donkey kong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
SWEET.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Added Theme...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Appreciate your effort, but the theme looks like crap in my opinion..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
That won't win you any friends here... If you read the original post it states the screenshots are jacked up. Probably due to the kernel I'm using. The colors are actually more like the wallpaper...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
I like it. thanks. the red low battery meter looks good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why are you even here.

Thanks OP.

This looks sweet! Great job!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Would it be possible to have the battery only as a flashable zip? The battery is great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'm not sure it will load correctly without some of the files. Are you just wanting it in the stock theme? I can do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
No i wanted to change phantoms rom... His gingerwiz theme but change the battery to yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Alright here ya go... http://www.mediafire.com/?gbamgyoak1scv34

In theory this zip should work. If it doesn't, just use 7zip to open it and drag and drop these pngs in the same corresponding files in that rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Actually signal and battery.... I dont dig the green pulldown.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
OK.. disregard above post... let me redo the zip. Gimme a minute...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Okay... Thanks. ill wait for the update.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
For anybody who's wondering....this theme will not flash over Starburst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Hmmm thats strange... I read thats its deoxeded too... I am running the Midnight Rom. So thats the rom i tested this on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yeah...it is weird. On paper, it should work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Deleted...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I just flashed this over Starburst just fine... I'm not sure what the problem is on your end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I tried flashing 3 times and nothing was themed. Maybe I got a corrupt download. I'll try to redownload it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thats kind if what I was thinking. Or maybe your recovery is acting up? I dunno... Let me kniw how it pans out though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Sweet, I am about to flash starburst and this theme. Ive been on stock rooted so far.

@ OP, any way you can get this onto our phone?

themikmik.com/showthread.php?7841-Theme-09-20-11-Blue-Glass-(V2.5.4)-for-Mik-2.5x

Ive talked to the creator and he said its fine if I find someone to port it onto our device and to contact him if I have any questions or anything. If I knew how to do it myself, I would... but I don't lol... Ive used this guy's themes with my 2 phones including the og epic. Could you help me out? I'm sure others would love to see this on the e.t. too. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I'm 3 projects deep right now but I will look at trying to port it as soon as I can get to it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Ok well thanks anyways. I have been up all night and I've almost got that theme ported. only a few things I can't get right. Could you help me out with that? I am going to post the theme. It actually looks damn good but needs a few tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
If I can help I'd be glad too. Why don't you pm me your questions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
updated to noCIQ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Yes this was straight stock but switched to the new EpIc VeNuM theme... Apply over any EK02 rom.... Including mine... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
any EK02 ROM? has anyone tried this with Calkulin's V2.0.1a?

also, how do i remove this theme in case i wanna revert back to the stock ROM theme?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
This is the stock theme for my rom... please read the rom thread...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HHx9205910:
Possible Compatability?

Is it possible that you would update this Theme to be compatible with Starburst or Blazer Rom, If you could do that I would send you a handsome donation :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I believe it works for those...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
i guess i wasn't very clear. i'm on Calkulin's v2.0.1a ROM. i wanted to try this theme since you said it would work over any EK02 ROM. i just wanted to make sure it was compatible.

i wanted to know if i could remove this theme and go back to the stock theme on Calkulin's v.2.0.1a ROM if i wanted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Sorry I misunderstood... no there's no stock theme as far as I know... you would have to reflash the rom to return to a "stock" look...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
If you do a nandroid backup before flashing you can restore to that if you decide not to keep the theme
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
gotcha

ha, thanks. didn't even think of that :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I don't use nandroids because I flash so much.. lol. Sorry or I would have mentioned it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KingOfThaJungle:
I love this theme man! Glad you posted it apart from our team ROM, so when Im running other ROMs out there I can at least keep the look :D!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yaboybiggs:
Soo mabey i'm just lost but can I flash this theme over caulkin 2.0.1?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yaboybiggs:
This is my favorite theme out right now but I love caulkins battery saver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] capo_kyle:
Love this theme! Best one I've seen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thank you sir... Have you ried our rom? Is FAST and has battery saver...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
Thank you very much.... We try!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1lazysheep:
what he said
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I believe you can. I don't test on Calks roms but it is an EK02 theme. This was built for my rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
hope to see this updated to EL13
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaybizza:
Crazy cause I said the same thing to your MOM when u were born!!!!

:eek:

IF IT"S NOT USEFUL.....STFU!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] my1zamboni:
Flashed this over Unknown rom and running well and looks great.

Thank you for the work and sharing.

no one test for EL13 calkin yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
I flashed this theme over cal's 2.5 ROM, EL13. All seems functional except every now and then I get a Android system/program force close error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] capo_kyle:
I did and haven't had any problems, phone is running as good as ever. On Calk's 2.0.1.a right now with EK02 but probably gonna try the EL13 modem and move up to Calk's 2.5.1, REALLY hope this theme continues to work once I do

Yeah I heard that every MIUI is built for armv7.

But developers can do anything. For example, most of the latest Unity 3.4 engine games are limited to run on armv7 only. But the guys switch the Unity libs and it can be run on armv6 vfp (like our msm7227). Some games lag, but most of them run quite good and are totally playable.
