[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
and people are going to forger what Microsoft has announced during CES.

Kinect for PC.... Are they trying to sell Kinect for PC by have it run on Windows 8 metro?

I have just recently thought about it.
[Windows 8 General] Award Tour:
I work in the digital media space - live in Adobe CS and IDE's. When working I use my keyboard + drawing tablet. When we browsing I tilt the screen and just browse via touch. It works and metro apps will extend the latter use.
[Windows 8 General] filipst:
Finally, someone telling it like it is. Whoever claims that Metro is good design really has no idea about graphic design. Metro looks pretty much like DOS programs. There's absolutely no design to be seen anywhere. Just ugly colored rectangles for everything. UGLY. DISGUSTING. And poor, poor design.

And Metro apps are a completely retarded idea on a desktop. Fullscreen applications? Really? Really? And people call this good design and easy to use interface.

And how about the fact that you can't close them? I don't care about how they supposedly don't take any memory if they're in the background. Even if that's true, if I want to close it, let me close it. This way it will end with the retardation on Android with apps made to easily close other apps. At least that's on a phone/tablet... but on a PC? Why the hell would I want my PC turned into a phone?

And before some smartass starts claiming that I'm a macfag, I assure you I am not. I despise Apple and everything they do. And I don't like their interfaces either.

Anyway, you could see from Windows 7 that Microsoft is going the wrong way, with the pinning programs to the taskbar and highlighted icons to show what programs are open. But at least you can get rid of that crap and actually make it usable for people who have more than one program open at a time.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
Well that's your opinion which your entitled too, my opinion couldn't be further from yours, I think it's great, simple clean and efficient.
[Windows 8 General] kainppc6700:
With you all the way there. I actually kinda liked the fancy icons on the bottom in W7, but you've got a point on everything else there.

+1

I know it's not the same thing. If you want to know why Windows Mobile 7 really sucks, we'll play a two turn game. First round: try to tell me something of remote use that "Windows Mobile 7" can do that the real Windows Mobile couldn't.

Imagine a user watching live television on his computer plugged into the telly and wanting to change the channel - he'd have to get off the couch, walk up to the screen, "flick" some screen nonsense to change channels, and then finally sit down. It's the 1960s all over again.

[Motorola Droid X2] Mr One 2:
I have searched and searched... so any help would be appreciated. I was running eclipse v5, and decided I wanted to go back to rooted gb. I sbfed back to stock gb, than used one click root. Phone achieved root and I went to market to dl titanium to restore my apps. Got error "insufficient memory, unable to dl" or something like that. So Using bootstrap I restored using my nandroid backup. Everything restored fine. Except the fact im getting the same error in marketplace. Im reaching out as a last ditch because I generally like to solve my own problems and every fix I have seen is not working. Have wiped cache and app data for market, uninstalled and restored using tb, restored nandroid 3 times, and a few other things. Any help would be appreciated if anyone has had this problem before. I am now on my eclipse v5 nandroid backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
It's because on Eclipse, your SD cards are flipped around. So your external card (mine is my 16gb from my OG) turns into your internal memory. It's not like this on stock GB, so when you restored from TB, it tried to put your apps in the same place. Since your 'internal memory' is now the standard, partitioned built-in SD card, you don't have enough space. Go into preferences in TB, and there is an option you can uncheck that restores apps to their original location. Do that and try again.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr One 2:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
I have a SGS4G with a 16GB external SD and just the standard fat on it. I just got a new 32GB card and since I have to do copying anyway, I'm wondering if I should take the opportunity to partition it into an ext2 + fat.

As some background I've always been plagued with low space problems on the internal. I've already moved all the apps that I can to the external (fat) with Titanium backup. I'm satisfied with the speed, so thats not a motivation for partitioning to use an external ext2 for the apps instead of the fat.

The only thing that would motivate me is increasing the effective space on the internal.

Does partitioning buy me anything in that direction?

I was at my local sprint store today and on their demo SGSII it had a battery notification on the left hand of the status bar with the percentage. Is this a stock notification or a market app? The battery looked just like the stock battery icon on the right side of the status bar.

If you want an icon that will be in the left hand side of the screen and give you an exact percentage of what battery you have left, download Battery Indicator from the Market. The free version is fine, no need to do the paid version.

[HTC Sensation] kingofthebraves:
I have a SGS2 right now and it's the best phone I've ever owned but I'm BORED :))

I know the sensation is slower in all aspects but have the issues like the wifi death grip, laggy software etc been resolved with custom roms?

Samsung may have the best hardware but HTC still makes the most exciting phones

You do what you want to do. Both phones have their pros and cons and you are aware of them.

[HTC Sensation] luan87us:
I'm thinking about switching from my Sensation to the SGS2 actually haha. Just waiting for it to come out on Tmobile. My sensation isn't bad but the SGS2 just seem like it has better build quality. Not sure will have to try the SGS2 first once it comes out.
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
GS2 better build quality? Dude...LOL
[HTC Sensation] leehopley:
lol samsung build quality is no where near on parr with HTC lol... samsung use cheap plastic... lol in my opinion anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] Divine flaw:
agreed

[HTC Sensation] kingofthebraves:
Samsung's build quality is top notch, they just want it to be the lightest and slimmest phone hence the plastic. If you've toyed around with the sgs2 you'd be pretty amazed how they were able to make the whole thing.

What I do miss from HTC is the different amounts of roms available. With samsung you only get stock, CM is crap even with the old sgs.
[HTC Sensation] hardensm:
Samsung generally makes devices which will work, but will break at the drop of a hat. Really depends what you class as build quality, Where as HTC generally makes devices which work (maybe not to the extent of samsung) but are very hard to damage and are easily modded. Really depends on what you want from a device to which suits you more.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
Pare, I have toyed with SGS2, believe me, it is nowhere near the feel of the sensation in your hands. The sensation just feels solid and robust compared to the SGS2 which is too light and feels flimsy somehow and ugly. Grab a sensation and play with it and you will know what I mean. It's nice to have 16Gb of nternal memory though and 1Gb or ram with SGS2 :)

Edit: The nice thing about the sensation design is that you can replace the whole back cover if you damaged it and it will be like brand new.
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
My bro owns a SGSII and I own a sensation...and HTC is a one way phone I believe..i mean you can come from SGSII to Sensation, but you will not be able to go back... try it dude....you will remember my words .... the slow sensation can be made faster enough by lots of ROM available on XDA itself.... by looks, by build quality... by UI...i always feel sensation is the BEST...

-----MY OPINION------
[HTC Sensation] dav08094194:
i must say i disagree with the above post (no offence) but stick with galaxy s2. all the htc sensation can offer you is htc sense apart from that there mostly identical, and also dont be drawn in with the qhd display, its fantastic none the less but it wont put a dent on the s2. i know this as i own both of them, and also be patient as someone's working on a port of htc sense for the galaxy s2 so im sure that will cure your boardness :D
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
Put it this way. If your going to do a straight swap, then go for it. But if you have to fork extra dough just to get the sensation, then just keep your SGS2 because it is probably not worth it.
[HTC Sensation] daftdrew:
I had the sgs2, I had it for 17 days and my friend lost it (long story), to be honest I am kinda glad they did lose it.

The sgs2 is a stupidly powerful phone true. But the build quality is bad, you always feel like it will snap in your pocket if you sit down, I think it's also too thin (i know people like it thin, but it feels awful in the hand).

It's personal preference but the HTC sensation feels awesome in the hand and it looks sexy. The screen on the HTC sensation is also just so nice. Granted the super Amoled + is pretty gorgeous too.

On the whole the galaxy is a lot faster, but as far as build quality, looks and feel in your hand you will not be disappointed with the sensation.

But yeah personal preference, both are great devices.

My previous phone was a iPhone4 and coming to the qHD screen made me so happy. Higher resolution is the real future.

The only thing i would like to take from SGSII is its battery life :)

Else i like Sensation...i sold me prev sensation and had to buy another phone...i had a very good look at my bro's SGSII and eventually decided to get Sensation again...

Yes, display for SGSII is more brighter and colourful, but qHD display is even better in Sensation .....

I know this about tmo but just letting you guys know what I see from manufacturers plus the evo 3d has its own issues as well but mostly software too

**** yea
[HTC Sensation] reorx24:
Haha, both phones are currently the top dawgs in the Android world, but like everything in the tech world, the next big thing is already looming (Galaxy Note, for one)

Unlike a pc, how fast do you really need a phone to be? Will the yellow bird in angry birds accelerate any faster? will the FPS in Backstab or Need for Speed improve? Custom Sense Roms have eliminated all lag issues, and i personally have never experienced a grip of death, whether for wifi or phone signal.

But i get where youre coming from pare, the grass is always greener on the other side. Since I own a Sensation, i find myself curious about the SGS2.

If youre serious about a swap, just PM me, maybe we can work something out:p Looks like were both from Metro Manila anyway.
[HTC Sensation] jeff880522:
agreed 100%. Thats y i choose sensation. love it. lolz
[HTC Sensation] focmost:
the phones you mentioned are really nice and excellent for routine use.

audio ss better

photo s2 better

taking video ss better than s2 a bit, however some time seems no difference

if you think you won't flash the stock rom, you just want to use stock rom , then

I think s2 is maybe more suitale for you a little. But if you don't like the user interface SamSumg provides, ss will suit for you.
[HTC Sensation] pete777:
Using metal instead of plastic doesnt mean its better build. My sensation is squeaking when you push display slightly. Also screen has really bad ghosting when scrolling text, most visible when scrolling white text on black background. Sensation is definately better designed, with better ergonomics, better materials, but quality control is bad..so if you are lucky you will have better experience with sensation..anyway I'm waiting for nexus prime:)
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Dude, keep your phone. The Sensation is nice but it'd be a downgrade. Yes, the screen resolution is higher, but it's also smaller & has worse viewing angles. It has way too many fatal flaws(like the death grip, dust under the screen, & the ridiculously bad bluetooth range) for me to recommend it. What HTC was thinking when they built the antennas into the back cover I'll NEVER understand. I'd rather have an ugly plastic phone that works right rather than a gorgeous "solid" phone with tons of glitches. Plus, I use cases 24/7 anyway so I could care less what it's made of. The S may seem nicer but it suffers from some serious quality control issues. I honestly regret getting mine, I was disappointed with it & I'll be getting a SGSII as soon as it comes out on T-Mobile.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Dont get me wrong, I love my sensation and wouldn't personally swap it for a GS2. I prefer the looks, the feel in the hand, sense UI etc, but....

And its a big But. Build quality? Sorry. But just because the GS2 is made of plastic doesnt mean the build is poor. I know someone who owns both phones and he swears the GS2 has the better build overall. Lets look at a few facts about the sensations build before we start bragging about how well our beloved phone is built.

Many owners have creaking back covers that dont quite fasten flush at the bottom causing movement and creaking.

Many owners complain of dust getting stuck around the edge of the display which looks pants when it happens.

60% of users who voted in a poll on this very forum have unresponsive touch screen issues apparently caused by poor grounding on the display. Clearly great build quality there!

I'm not trying to put the sensation down, and as ive already stated I wouldnt swap my phone for a GS2, ive also been lucky and dont have any touch screen issues on mine at all, but the sensation clearly isnt that well built.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
I currently own the sensation, previously had sgs2 and my wife still has it. Both are great phones but I don't agree sgs2 is of poor quality. It is definitely not made of cheap plastic and I have dropped it couple of times with no damage. There is a reason why Samsung uses plastic, suppose to give better reception and light weight. In fact I read an article couple of weeks back that HTC is also moving towards plastic instead of metal. I can digg out that article if anyone needs.
