That's really interesting; even though I said I don't want to mod my phone anymore, that sounds like something worth done.

I just read on gsmarena that HTC wants to make the following changes for Sensation 4G: overclock to 1.5ghz, change the battery. So if HTC will upgrade the non-4G models also I will get a Sensation without second thoughts.

Another plus for the Sensation: Sense UI; way better and more smartphone-like than Samsung's childish iphone-like touch-wiz. But in performance terms Samsung is simply better. I gotta decide if the performance plus matters that much to me...

Thanks for your opinions:D

By the way - I forgot one important thing: the phone must be updatable to ICS; SE confirmed that the Arc will receive ICE, Samsung didn't say anything but for sure they will update their flagship. HTC also didn't say anything but will there be a reason for Sensation not to receive ICS?
[Off-topic] 22VIN:
SGS2 is for the moment out of the question. As I said, I have other plans with my money and I don't think that a phone is worth it.

So, I want to make a decision: Arc or Sensation? Is the not-so-fast Sensation worth over the excellent-looking Arc? Price difference: 50eur, so not a big difference. The Arc has an excellent camera, excellent display, gorgeous design and great build quality. The Sensation has the dual-core advantage but it's actually not so fast in real life; sometimes it behaves like a bad 1ghz single core. And there's a thing that bothers me: I closed all the running apps and the remaining RAM was still 150mb (tried on 3 different devices and also saw it in a review).

The only thing keeping me from buying dirrectly the Arc is the 320mb internal memory.
[Off-topic] terratrix:
Get the Arc then, its almost guaranteed that it will get ICS.
[Off-topic] IamIrene:
its already confirmed that all SE xperia phone(2011) will get ICS

[Off-topic] terratrix:
Its so fugly
[Off-topic] 22VIN:
Nexus one is kinda old. I want a new gen phone. If I wanted an older model I would have gone for the Galaxy S Plus which is only 159eur.
[Off-topic] 22VIN:
Just bought the Sensation, really loving it right now:D

In a way I regret the Arc but this is a phone that will last better in time (considering the specifications). Dual-core phones will get real support and I will be prepared for it :p

Thanks again for all your help and keep the good development for the p500 (my first Droid so I won't forget it :) )

to TS, anyway, happy with your sensation :D
[Off-topic] 22VIN:
Really happy, after I updated it to 2.3.4 and flash to 10.3 I managed to play flawlessly a 1080p YouTube clip (gsmarena said that it would crash on 1080p, totally not true). The display is great, now the p500 display looks funny :))

Later Edit: here are my toys :)

o.O, luckily is happy

@OP: tl;dr, hence SGS2.

Reasons:

1. Plastic case? Only the exterior, friend. The insides are pretty solid. I tried to bend it, but it just wouldn't. Yes, I did. No, it was too harrowing to post a video.

2. SGS probably has the best internal specs. Bar none.

3. SAMOLED+
[Off-topic] Scabes24:
SGS2 and Sensation or both good devices, but why not wait for one of the upcoming releases? Like say.. the HTC Holiday or the Samsung Galaxy Note?

[Off-topic] Scabes24:
If I needed one right this minute I'd go with the SGS2. Mainly because I have yet to own a non-HTC device (9 total).

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Give it a shot. Samsung has come a long way since, and I'm quite satisfied with it so far.

One thing that differentiates me from other users is that I always insist on a good case for the phone. I'm currently having a solid chrome/aluminium two-toned polished/brushed case. It's good.
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
Not sure when this happened, but I have only just noticed. The Video Unlimited app has been updated with a preview (at least here in the UK). You have to download an update of the app then you have to download the Sony Network Account Manager (it prompts this automatically and links through to the Market).

Currently there are only a few ****ty films available for 99p rental.

As you can see the UI looks very similar to that of the PS3, so if lucky we might get an update similar to the one they are getting....

[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
This was available a week ago

Waiting for it to be fully opened similar to Xperia handsets, as I found it to be useful to watch high definition movies using the micro HDMI through my tv

It's a shame that Tablet S doesn't have HDMI output

Hope Sony will find a way to add it even with an external dock, DLNA is not available in all TVs unfortunately
[Sony Tablet S] adubrovs:
I'm a little disappointed that they are charging 99cents to rent this crap. They should not be charging anything for a preview. I think that's going against the definition of a preview.
[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
It's a full movie for 99p to rent, not a preview for 99p to watch
[Sony Tablet S] Vancelot:
I just watched the trailers and I was impressed with the quality. I have seen all of these or I would try out a full movie.
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
Sorry I didn't realise, plus I hadn't heard anyone mention it so I thought others might not know. Sony probably wont start shouting about it until the full catalogue is up.

The name suggests there will be an all you can eat plan (like Music Unlimited) but I doubt that will be the case, does anyone know otherwise?
[Sony Tablet S] adubrovs:
I know, but it's a preview of the service. Typically, when you get access to preview a service the content is free, so you can preview it before signing up and paying for it.
[Sony Tablet S] jonnyboy_merritt:
I am told that a free preview service is coming soon in the uk at least
[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
Nope, it's not a preview of the service, the service is already available in most sony products(Xperias, TVs, PS3s and Blue-ray players)

They just haven't optimized the whole app for the tablet yet. Maybe they must assumed that everyone knows how good the video quality so they didn't provide any samples or free movies (the quality is amazing by the way, tried from my Xperia Arc to my TV) anyway, since they haven't complete the tablet app they should at least put something free to cover it up. I guess that's what you meant in the end :p

previews are available in Xperia handsets by the way. For some movies you can see trailers and watch the quality of the film.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubuntop:
The signup process to get an account for this was painful.
[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
If your a psn user it was easy!
[Sony Tablet S] Vancelot:
So, video unlimited opened up today some. $1.99 for a tv episopde? I can watch the same thing free elsewhere.

Movie rentals are reasonable though, even though I can get a dvd from redbox for $1.

What do you think?

Edit:

Went to check again and only see the five preview movies. I guess they were teasing me with a brief glimse of what is to come.
[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
Lol someone might hit the wrong button there and made it available :-P

Everything can be free elsewhere, from movies to tv shows. True you can buy DVDs for the same price or sometimes cheaper, but the quality in their movies is much better than a DVD, that's what makes me interested in renting or buying,

Already bought some movies with my SE Xperia Arc, Alexander for example is much better in quality than my DVD version, even when I connected my Arc to a TV it still was amazing.

Only if HDMI was available in Tablet S :-(
[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
By the way Sony just made Video Unlimited available

Just in case if anyone missed it ;-)
[Sony Tablet S] SCIONTX:
Keeps asking me if I want to perform an update. Select "Update" and it downloads something (I install it), but still keeps asking me.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

The app's not showing for me in the Market. Can't even uninstall and do a fresh install. Says device is incompatible!
[Sony Tablet S] Vancelot:
Finally got it to update. Still think prices are too high. We should get a discount if we already bought the dvd/blu-ray. Not going to pay for it again when I can just rip it.
[Sony Tablet S] SCIONTX:
Working now. The shortcut on the desktop was causing the problem. Accessed it from the app draw and it worked. Should be $2.99 to rent a movie and $.99 for tv shows.
[Sony Tablet S] adubrovs:
I think with the name like Video Unlimited it should actually be unlimited. I was hoping for a monthly pricing for unlimited videos (similar to Netflix). Since Sony Pictures makes movies they can offer them for free if they choose to since they don't have to wory about licensing and distribution fees.
[Sony Tablet S] SCIONTX:
The Video Unlimited service is a sad joke. You only get 24 hours to watch a rented movie after you press play. They're charging $3.99 for this ridiculous limitation. Why not give us 7 days? That's reasonable, particularly for folks who travel and want content to watch that's not streamed. 24 hours simply is not long enough. Charge $1.99 for this.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

*delete*
[Sony Tablet S] MJ_QaT:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it will give you 30 days to play the rented movie, and 48 hours to watch as soon as you hit the play button

I read this when renting a movie in Xperia Arc, but it could differ in Tablet S
[Sony Tablet S] SCIONTX:
Nope according to the Terms and Conditions (in the upper right hand corner of the app) you only get 24 hours after pressing play. Maybe it's a United States thing. You are correct in that 30 days is given to actually play the content. You don't even need to read the terms. Just select "Rent" and you'll get the notice.

[HTC 7 Pro] Ineedtoys:
My HTC 7 Pro seems to have a hardware fault or memory leak.

In Nodo after a few hours it stops opening certain applications with either

a) Black screen and "loading..." message for ~10 seconds before returning to the home screen, or

b) All tiles on the screen wobbling /shimmering for 2-3 seconds on tapping an application then nothing.

Some apps still work but it gets progressively worse until nothing will run. Applications affected vary each time.

Tried flashing Mango RTM but it was much worse - it all seems to work initially, then some applications won't load as above, but the biggest difference with Mango is that browser will lock up after viewing half a dozen pages and the whole phone will slow down to a crawl.

Switching the phone off and on, or if it has locked up, pulling the battery, will fix it for a while.

I suspect there may be a RAM issue so need to find a quick and reproducable way of proving this before I send it off for repair. Is there any hardware test routine or app available on the HTC 7 Pro?
[HTC 7 Pro] xandercom:
Are you running with the stock memory card inside, or have you manually upgraded that at some point?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lightninjay:
I had a Seidio Innocase Rugged (now known as the convert) for my old OG Inc and I loved it.

When I went to Seidio to look for a case for my Inc 2, I noticed they didn't have the Innocase rugged, so I figured the Active had to be the next best thing, right?

I was SOO wrong.

I dropped my phone about 3 feet this morning onto CARPET, and the phone screen is shattered. The front lip of the case does absolutely NOTHING to protect the screen from a fall. At least with the Innocase Rugged their was a hard shell that also had a lip to protect from a fall.

I will be replacing my phone with an insurance claim and will be purchasing a new case within the week. Just wanted to alert any who were thinking about purchasing the Seidio Active for their Incredible 2. It is not exactly suited for an actual active lifestyle.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
3 feet? Really? I can WHIP my phone 9 feet onto my carpet without a case and I'll be good. I don't think you can blame the case.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] K3nDroid:
Ive dropped my phone twice getting it out of my pocket, while walking, and dropped it on the concrete, and I dont even have a case (makes a big phone even bigger, and thats why I pay for insurance). The phone is perfectly fine.. You got some bad luck ..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mystery252:
I'd say your phone probably had an issue.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Yeah my phones done a faceplant from about 3 feet onto pavement with no case. Not even a scratch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I have the active case and no complaints what so ever.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] VA_Joe:
Sorry to hear about your phone.

I really like the active. 3+ feet onto asphalt with no damage.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rmiles7721:
Mine too

I drop mine all the time and I am extremely rough on my phone. I work in a restaurant and wear it hanging out of my pocket so I can hear it. Have had the Active for several weeks now and never had a problem
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FinalAssault:
It's a great case, aside from being a dust magnet. I returned mine though because it unfortunately wouldn't hold my new 21500 mAh battery. Somebody misinformed me. :[

I'd recommend it. I dropped it a few times and no dings, shame it didn't work out for you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
That's a big battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
The only problem i have with the case is the fact it seems to be leaving scratches on my phone's screen protector now as well as it keeps leaving scratches on the phone itself.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
I think he meant 2150, there aren't 21500 mah's for cell phones lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FinalAssault:
Wow, I can't believe I missed that. That's pretty bad, and I think I have to worry more about that battery than the case not fitting it.

And it doesn't fit a 2150 mAh battery either.

I am curious about some statistics of our Xoom 3G userbase and how many have actually received the 4G LTE update. Verizon reps claims they are actively being made. Many including myself have yet to see or hear of a single instance. I have personally been lied to by verizon reps in store and through direct customer service.

Please take this quick survey and pass the link on to everyone you know through facebook, twitter,G+, and any other means to get results. Hoping for enough to expose Verizon and Moto for their poor customer service and devious tactics.

Thank you!

I have a couple tweaks that I want to make to my status bar and could really use some help. I'm new at this and have yet to try my hand at XML edits or the like and have only completed simple image swaps to date. The following are the two things I'd like to accomplish:

1. I want to remove the battery icon (not insert a transparent icon)

2. I want to re size the signal strength indicator. I have a custom image that I'm using, it works great and i have re sized the .png to where i want it but when i flash it, it is auto scaled to fit the original width of the previous image. I'm assuming that this is an XML edit? Along with re sizing this image, i'd like to center it on the status bar if possible, but this is not that big of a deal.

Name: One Thing

Description: Have you ever remembered something important only to forget it an hour later? You MUST REMEMBER to do the laundry, or your family will go underwearless! But then, of course, you realize six hours later that you forgot. You MUST REMEMBER to send that important e-mail later today. Oops! It's tomorrow already and you forgot. You MUST REMEMBER to stop for milk on the way home. Uh-oh, you're back and the refrigerator is empty.

That will never happen again, thanks to One Thing. Using the reminder functionality in Mango, One Thing will send you up to 20 reminders, ending at a time of your choice. The reminders can be presented evenly distributed over time, with an early bias, or with a late bias. Furthermore, they can randomized within these distributions. The idea: intermittent reinforcement, known from operant conditioning theory to induce the strongest conditioned response, will help keep that ONE THING YOU MUST REMEMBER on your mind until you actually do it.

You can also post your one thing to Facebook with a MUST REMEMBER tag, so that your friends, who are hopefully less absent-minded than you are, can help you remember the crucial item.

I wrote this because I have had this experience hundreds of times. Never again!

[Thunderbolt General] arh2o:
Can't say I'm surprised: http://support.vzw.com/system_update/thunderbolt.html

No voicemail notifications and FFC issues. Wonderful. How did this pass VZW testing again?
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
Nothing against you but people have een crying about other devices getting GB first and how we are getting screwed and blah blah and now GB is finally just around the corner and people are going to complain again. Can't be pleased it seems. Just root and run a custom ROM that runs better than stock and it's smooth(er) sailing!
[Thunderbolt General] arh2o:
I am running a custom rom. My point is that it's been how long since we were promised GB? 4 months? Weren't we supposed to get it in June? You'd think they would at least be able to iron out the bugs with this long of a delay. It's the end of September and they can't fix voicemail notifications which have plagued every leaked build for months? That's a huge bug (especially since voicemail is a Verizon feature) and it hasn't been fixed yet. Come onnnnn.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I see your point but I guess it all boils down to is GB worth not being notified of a VM especially with the other alternatives that are out there. With that said I do agree they should of made VM notifications work but I guess that means they will put out another update to fix that and other issues soon (hopefully).
[Thunderbolt General] Jacquestrapp:
I think what it really boils down to is the fact that VZW is releasing this buggy version as an OTA update, which will be rolled out to lots and lots of people who have never heard of ROMs or rooting or anything, and they will be stuck without voicemail notifications or a properly working front camera until VZW (I'm guessing) releases *another* OTA update later on to fix those problems. That's pretty bad customer service. I think they're just releasing it so they can (finally) actually stick to a release date, even if the release is buggy.

People who run custom ROMs won't have to worry about it too much but we are a small minority of all the people who have Thunderbolts.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
This is true but nothing anyone can do about it. VzW will have to deal with all the customer service calls they get for lack of VM notifications then and that sucks for them.
[Thunderbolt General] *Madmoose*:
Actually, people who run custom roms WILL have to worry about it. Custom roms do not fix this problem. Using this phone for business it will be a HUGE problem...a liability problem.
[Thunderbolt General] MrCapcom:
I doubt they VM problem will be in this build thats pushing out whenever.
