Technically it voids your warranty but if you send in a phone they don't even look to see if your phone was rooted. So really it doesn't void a warranty :D and yes this phone is bloated to hell. I made a complete list of safe bloatware to remove in the dev section.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mcdeezy:
I really don't like having to deal with all of it on here. Like you said, Google handles everything these bloatwares do. It's just redundant.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
I asked in another topic. How do you get rid of the bloatware.

I have revolutionary with its recovery. Are there any instructions on how to get rid of the built in stuff?

With my G2 I had CM7 and was not able to delete the file manager app (part of CM) for example.

I was trying to delete it from within Root Explorer.

I am not a developer but like to play around with my computers under the hood.

Thanks.

In this forum is an app that simply gets rid of the bloatware. It needs root and superuser. I installed it and it also wanted busybox (which I thougt was already there) and linked to the market where I got it.

After those two minor bumps, I no longer have some of the junkware.

Breaking into root access ***DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY***.

All it does is it eliminates your right to SOFTWARE SUPPORT.

Read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act to understand WHY your warranty remains in effect.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
Many thanks! Many, MANY Thanks!

I'm not worried about software support, I always provide my own anyway. :D

You have a link to the text on that act?

You can start by reading the wikipedia interpretation of it, and I'm sure there is a link to the actual text from the wikipedia article.

Hey Everyone,

Here's the backstory. Got the NC in August, rooted in September. Was running fine and then it autoupdated to 1.3. It started behaving weirdly, so I decided to unroot it and bring it back down to 1.0.1 and start fresh. I did so, but now my PC is no longer recognizing my NC. It shows up as removable drives F and G. Also when I go into settings, it says my internal memory on the NC is at 0.000 and I can't redownload the books my wife had purchased. What gives?

So Im about to install the latest version of ARHD and I know there is a recommended radio but I read through some posts on that page stating that if your on TMOUS then that radio doesn't give the best speeds battery ect. What radio would everyone recommend? BTW This is my first rom im going to flash on my Sensation and I want a good daily driver.
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Same here bro, I flashed the ARHD 4.1.3, tried 4.1.4 even the XE with beats, my signal has gone from good to bad after i flashed the suggested radio and im on Tmobile US. I was thinking of just going back to stock and root my phone to remove all the bloatware. Speed on the ARHD and the stock out of the box rom for me seems to be almost the same, i cant even really say if the speed has been upgraded when i flashed ARDH...and not to mention the "LAG" arhd has on my phone. Maybe its me who made a mistake on the steps of flashing, but anyhow ill just might go back to bare stock out of the box til i can find a good rom that will give me a good signal and better speed plus the sense feature.
[HTC Sensation] bobbymokie:

[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
So, my girlfriend's D3 went for a

brief

swim (but, any swim is too long a swim) a few weeks back. She immediately snatched it out of the water, took it apart, and put it rice for, roughly, 48hrs. I took it out of the rice, put it back together, and booted it up. To her/our relief, it worked fine. Zero issues with it. So, she's been using it (and LOVING it, it being her first Android phone), without issue, up til today. For some reason, when she hits the power button, the screen comes on, but she can't unlock it. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. She can't answer calls because of this. I installed No Lock from the Market, but the screen still won't respond to touch input about 50-75% of the time. So, D3 Gurus, what could be the cause and can we fix it?

P.S. She just updated her phone today, OTA, if that might matter.
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
The ota update wont matter. There is still water in there. This same thing happens with the ipod touches and iphones, water damage then screen turns on but no response.
[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
But, it has been working fine for weeks since it took a dip.
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
It may have not come in contact with any critical hardware until now. That's all I can think of. Try a replacement screen, battery, anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
A verizon rep told me this morning the ota could've caused my phones ear piece to stop putting out sound. Idk if that's true but I completely denied the possibility water could've got into it and she thought it was the ota until I told her I reprogrammed it like 3 times. Then again it was a woman.. hm.
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
Also check the phone and batt for water detectors. a un damaged phone/batt will be white or white with red x's. A damaged phone/batt will blead a red die onto the white square
[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
The water detectors are definitely goners, but we've known that since it happened. I just don't see why it worked perfectly for roughly 3 weeks, then all of a sudden decides to sh!t the bed today.
[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
No one else have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
Well, it had gotten to where it would respond to input at all, so I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. It seems to have helped, at least somewhat, because now the screen will respond again, but still not always.

To try and clarify: when she wakes the phone up, the screen will either respond 100% to each and every input (like a good screen should) or give us the middle finger and refuse to acknowledge any inputs, leaving her stuck at the lock screen. It's feast or famine. All or nothing. Once she gets it to register that first touch, it's golden...til she locks it again, then the cycle starts over.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Does she charge it through the wall or usb plugged into a computer? I have an issue where if my phones connected to my comp the touch is all over the place and I basically can't unlock it or drag the notification bar down unless I disconnect it.
[Motorola Droid 3] stick1300:
Wall. I'm not sure if she's ever even hooked it up to her Mac. lol
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Lol okay. Sorry I had no advice. That's something I experienced w/ my d3, tho.. other than that never had the issue. But I also never gave my d3 a bath. I'm surprised my girlfriend hasn't given hers one yet.

[HTC Sensation] flipper2006:
I have a question, since there is no Amaze forum yet i figured this is the closest to it with the Sensation. I currently have a Tmobile Vibrant with a custom Rom using GB 2.3.5.

My question is if money isnt an issue, should I get an Amaze or Gal S2?

One of the biggest differences is LCD (Amaze) (4.3 screen) Superamled (S2) (4.5)

With the vibrant from day 1 i have had a problem with GPS not really working and Samsung/Tmoible not giving a crap. So I figured I would get a Sensation, but after the annoucment on monday about the Amaze in a week, i figured that is better choice. But after reading all the comments in this forum about people would rather have a S2, its kind of throwing my thinking off.

Can i get some input here, remember it doesnt matter on the price, its a corporate deal and the phones are free as part of the incentive.

I read with the Sensation, that you can get a better battery from Amazon so i would assume (but no one really knows yet) that its going to be simular battery.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Iphone 5:D j/k both have qualcom chipset. I love HTC but damn...their speaker sux balls. I've Sensation now...who knows i'll probably wait till november and see if Iphone 5 release for tmobile true or not.
[HTC Sensation] Havoc1127:
My wife gets one more phone discount for the year so we are going to get one or the other. I was all for the S2 but im digging the Amaze. Build Quality, camera, bigger battery and the Internal storage I think is going to win me over to the amaze. I had a vibrant and loved it but it took a lot of work to get it to where I was happy with it ( thanks to team Whiskey). I love the white back as well with the amaze.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Definitely the Amaze, no question.
[HTC Sensation] flipper2006:
What about the screen size, does the qHD screen cause any problems with apps that dont use the full screen? Example: lcd density when set to 180 on the vibrant would be 540x965 (or something very close) and some of the apps only used a little bit of the screen. Is that still true with the sensation? Obviously since the phone isnt out yet no one would know, but you guys say the speaker is terrible on the sensation, is it really that bad?
[HTC Sensation] crking1980:
These threads always crack me up when a new phone comes out
[HTC Sensation] GoogleFan:
I'd get the s2,The amaze looks like a mt4g slide w/out keyboard and the specs ain't that much improved over sensations,plus I can tell you coming from a vibrant super amoled is better looking then any other mobile display bar the retina display.I've heard the s2 for sprint has no lag and tmo's is supposed to be faster,I love my sensation but like

Epsix said the speaker sux,HTC always had bad sound,my g1,mt3g,3g slide,now this .
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
I agree. I currently own both the Sensation and the International version of the SGS2, and without question, the SGS2 is on another level. I try and can't get my S2 to lag, with the Sensation, it lags just by looking at it. The only intriguing aspect of the Amaze is the new camera. But most people don't get a device merely for the camera. Anyway, I'd recommend the S2 over the Amaze. That being said, both get released the same day. Go into TMO and play with both and see which one you like most.
[HTC Sensation] skyhigh2004:
Yeah but isn't your international gsII a whole different anaimal? I mean the tmo gsII has the same processor as the sensation right? If that's the case the lower Res screen and same processor make our tmo gsII a lot less intriguing sadly.

Yes, sadly, the processor is similar. The difference is that SGS2 is clocked @ 1.5ghz out of the box and will support TMO's 42mb network. The question is whether Samsung did a better job matching the hardware and software (i.e true hardware acceleration). We will find out soon enough.
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:

[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
I'd like to see a full review of the Amaze by Anandtech. HTC's camera is decent at best, and the Sensation falls in that category. No comparison to the quality of the pictures used by the SGS2 sensor. The Amaze has some neat functions but that's irrelevant if it doesn't take high quality pics. Curious to see how they've done in improving 1080p recording.

By the way, how was the call quality of the Hercules? Was it better than the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
This phone was supposed to be HTC's breakthrough from their seriously crappy (and that's an understatement) speakers with what was marketed as Hi-Fi! audio or something like that. My goodness they still suck balls. I always thought I barely use the external speakers anyway so I wouldn't care, but I have been needing them more than previously thought (mainly for watching random YouTube videos). The camera is also crap compared to what photos on an SGSII look like =-O

The only thing the Amaze would have over the SGSII would be the qHD resolution, imo. Those are things I would look over though in return for an AMAZING camera (there is no question Samsung phones have the best cameras out there), an AMAZING external speaker, and the reigning champ of displays aka the Super Amol... you know.

It's a no-brainer dude. Wait on the SGSII.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
They are using the same sensor, but the Amaze (using the same one as the myTouch 4G Slide) has a wider lens. The speaker on the SGS II isn't that great either according to Anand Tech. Just slightly better than the Sensation's.
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Really? The speaker on my Vibrant was miles ahead of the one on my Sensation. I doubt they would take a step back from it..
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yep...

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Here's the part about the camera:

So we now know that inside SGS2 is either a Sony IMX105, or Samsung S5K3H2YX sensor. This is basically the same exact camera lottery situation that the MyTouch 4G Slide [same as Amaze 4G] is in, as it in fact has the same two exact sensors listed, though F/2.2 optics. Both are basically the same on paper and should offer similar performance - 1/3.2“ size, 1.4µm backside illuminated pixels, and 8.13 MP (3264 x 2448).

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/9
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Hmm.. That seems to just rank speaker volume not overall quality and I remember being impressed by the SGS's speaker quality over that of my previous N1, yet the N1 ranks above the SGS on that chart. I guess it comes down to preference.

The camera part does sound good though. I'm glad HTC is stepping their camera quality efforts up.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, they do say that the SGSII performs well with notification sounds and navigation, but just isn't loud on calls for whatever reason.
[HTC Sensation] navillos:
If a phone requires more than 20 updates theres definately something wrong with their software engineers.
