[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
I've been considering getting this phone, and I think I am pretty close to getting it. I was waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S2 release date and price information, and since it is going to be about $230 or higher with a contract, I'm more leaning towards the Sensation.

My main concern with this phone is the battery life. Some people say the battery life is awesome, and some people say that the battery life is pretty bad. Is it just hit and miss? Obviously, since I'm on this forum, I will be rooting and installing custom ROMs on it, and I'm assuming it would help with battery life.

Other than the battery life, this phone seems best for me because of its looks, performance, and size. A 4.52" screen seems like a bit much for me.

I can't wait to get rid of this MT3G.

Thanks!

get an anker or stock evo3d battery and youll be good to go. with juice defender app, moderate usage and my evo3d battery i get 30+ hours everytime. with lighter usage ive hit 40+ hours. hit 48 thi morning. I am however slightly underclocked, and undervolted.
[HTC Sensation] Ravaged0ne:
I personally get great battery life on almost every ROM i've used. If you ever notice you run out of battery fast because you're a heavy user then grab a 1900mAh or higher battery that will -definitely- increase your battery life.

I use an Anker and have been blown away.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
There is a great article on the xda home page take speaks on secondary batteries. Some can cause potential harm. An issue they've found is that the slight larger size knocks the ground pin loose on the device causing the touch screen to malfunction. There is also a great thread that teaches you how to track down your juicers and eliminate them, thus maximizing battery life on the ARHD thread first post. Check these things out before makeing a decision on how to improve your bat life.

I have now ARHD 3.6.1 with bricked 0.91 kernel and I get 20 hours with WiFi. So it can be done.

Just some of my input
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
reall?

in what section is this located? thanks in advance.

if you can wait until mid October I would suggest you go with the Amaze. It comes with a + 1700 mA battery vs. the 1500 -ish Sensation. Now, it is clocked at 1.5 gh vs 1.2 of the Sensation so I don't know exactly how that impacts the the increased battery size, but it is bigger. Plus the Amaze is better spec'd than the Sensation. If the Amaze has the same size battery as the sensation there are several aftermarket batteries that will increase its life. I use one.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
I would say ..Yes, it is hit and miss.

I think some people have dud stock batteries (Those who get 10 hours out of the stock battery then amazingly 18 hours out an Anker battery with slightly more juice in it).. and more commonly some people get dodgy handsets.

The dodgey handsets are the ones that wont get above 10 hours use even when everythings turned off pretty much, and no matter what battery they use (eliminating the possibility of a dud battery).

The problem with randomly getting a dodgy sensation handset with poor battery life is exposed in a review by TechRadar here...

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-sensation-943466/review?artc_pg=9

Certainly hit and miss , which is also obvious after reading forums like this one.

...Luckily mines a Hit! :)

Just got our htc amaze in, its 1730maH, same size as stock EVO 3D battery, same part number, except battery contacts are on the left side on the amaze, and on the right ont he evo 3d, which is why sensation users have to flip it. The htc amaze uses the same chipset as the htc sensation (s3) processor type, and the sensations is rated at 1.5ghz, but downclocked to 1.2 due to 1500mah battery... Only difference REALLY between the two is sensation has 768ram amaze has 1gb, htc sensation has vga ffc, amaze has 2mp. and for the ffc you can totally see the difference. stand in front of a sign, and you'll easily see whats better. but the amaze.. psh.. that thing is way heavier and the screen rises out of the unibody. sensation is sexier.
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get the Sensation. I'm just going to wait until the SGSII comes out, so I can see both the Sensation and SGSII in person at a T-Mobile store.

Regarding battery life, I saw this thread, saying that HTC was upgrading the battery in the Sensation. Is this true? And if so, if I went and bought a Sensation from T-Mobile, would it have the newer battery?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
I'm having trouble charging my device.

For some reason, after updating to the new 3.2.1 my tablet win not charge either from the adapter, usb pc connection.

Tried rebooting to no avail.

:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] apprentice:
I don't think this has anything to do with the update. Mine updated and charges ok.

I did however have a problem charging once (before the update) and I searched the web for solutions. I think you will find it's a problem with the mains charger. It overheats and the thermal cut-out fails to reset. As mad as it sounds the solution is to pop the charger in a plastic bag and pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes. It worked for me and countless others and is worth a try.

Good luck though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Canadoc:
had same issue. seems my charger was not well seated with the clip on plug.

Non issue
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xufuchang:
gotta try this.mine already can't charge about 1 month ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Wow! I tried to google search on unable to charge after updates, but could not find any meaningful matches.

I will try this fridge trick, although it's another example that asus really rushed this entire project out! We have been beta testing an unfinished product.... But I guess that's the norm these days.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
I find that sine the latest update, the battery drains faster and I have to plug it in and out a couple of times until I see that it's charging..Also, all of a suddent the touchpad (not the keys) will wake up the tablet when it's docked
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thor_Asgard:
The touch pad will not wake up the tablet if you turn wifi of MANUALY before putting the tablet in sleep mode !

It's how I fixed it, waiting for Asus to fix it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
Hmmm..I tried that but the touchpad still turns on the screen
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BuPe:
If it bothers you then you can always disable the touchpad... I'm still on 3.2 but the touchpad always intefered with my typing so I have it disabled by default.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boonkui:
Same problem for me :-( I found that a reboot will solve this until it happens again. Need ASUS to fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thor_Asgard:
Hopefully yes, a reboot fix the situation. Today, i'm trying to not disabled the wifi (or, turn wifi off manually each time), and i'll see if the USB/SD disconnet again !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
It's not really a bother, but it shouldn't happen. Turns out the tablet, with the new 3.2.1 update is not able to sleep. I think it's something to do with the new wifi "improvement". Using cpuspy, the tablet is not sleeping at all unless I manually turn off wifi and reboot. This needs to be looked into and corrected by Asus, unless I'm incorrect or have an isolated incident.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thor_Asgard:
no, it's note an isolated incident, i have approximatly the same situation here !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
Thanks for the feedback! It's annoying but not life changing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Not the case for me. I had all sorts of sleep/reboot issues with 3.2 (using custom roms and kernels), and nothing resolved them other than a complete return back to stock with a full bios wipe.

Since updating to 3.2.1 and then to Prime 2.01 (sticking with stock kernel), my tablet is turning wifi off when the screen goes off, and is going into deep sleep as evidenced by the fact that it is only using around 2% over 9 hours while not being used. I was concerned that like others I would have sleep/reboot issues when docked as this seems to be a problem, but tested that issue last night and when I checked today after not using it for 10 hours, no reboots, no ramdump.log and battery life used was minimal in line with deep sleep.

I truly believe that the solution to all these issues is to completely return to stock - including the part where after you have removed CWM (if you have it), you start the tablet holding down power and up to enter the asus startup mode and then select the option that wipes everything. But YMMV....

As for my original issue when I started this thread, it turned out the charging issue was indeed a problem with the charger overheating as pointed out by another member (THANKS), as a quick 30 minutes in the freezer seemed to reset the internal thermostat. From now on I unplug when not using the charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
^^^ That's cool that yours is under control, but mine is stock, unrooted. Don't really have the inclination or motivation to root this thing..But it appears that it is a definite issue for stock, unrooted Transformers, judging by response
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thor_Asgard:
Same here, stock, unroot ! But I prefer waiting for Asus inseed of turning back to custom ROM...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Killerabbit:
Solution to this is unplug your transformer, keep it as tablet only, press and hold the power button for over 30 seconds, plug in and then switch on.

Worked for me :D Asus says the issue is a static build up on the device with having external devices plugged in, like hard drives, not sure if thats accurate, but the fix has been solid for me!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skyrim:
My Tablet and Dock have the same issue since the last OTA, charge doesn't works. PLIZ ASUS FIX THIS ISSUE ! :mad::mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
8-10 in the freezer and my tablet off for those 10 mins worked for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skyrim:
The fridge trick is not working for me, you guys think this issue is caused by the last OTA?

If i plug the charge wire to the transformer, the transformer turns on, i dont know if my charger is defective, or the last updated is buggy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] regP:
Same problem. Freezer didnt work. Gonna have to call in a replacement. This sucks.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I don't know if im just tripping but does the X2 seem choppy when sliding between home screens? Im using Launcher pro i was comparing to an iphone and its a night and day difference when sliding between home-screens. I have a lot of icons in screen the background stays clean but the icons get choppy...it doesn't lag between slides just looks kinda crappy.
[Motorola Droid X2] knipp21:
Yup that's moto for you.

I find the MOTO Droids to be very laggy. My Eris was as fast as the og Droid..
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Motion blur? If that's the case, this screen is great for that! The qHD is great but the pentile display is guilty of being crap. I've gotten used to it..
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
lame....

I remember back in the day when moto was great my dad had the first gen moto car phone on the 80's where if you used it without the car on it would kill that battery, that thing would get reception anywhere we could be in the middle of the desert here in California 100's of mile from anywhere and we had full signal all the tims. It cost like 10K but it was awesome....I still have it in a box in my garage the provided was Bell South i think...good times
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Seriously? You were able to clock the Eris to 1.2GHz? :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] knipp21:
Nope 768mhz and it was smooth as butter with launcher pro.
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
Iv'e had 4 different DX's and now this DX2 and it's my experience that a complete wipe/factory reset is needed every couple of months or these things start to lag. I'm due for a wipe/reset on theis DX2 currently just hate the PITA it is to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Just so the people that actually wanna know whats going on yes we are rebuilding miui not because the other port was a bad port there was just to many issues with thee rom (eg fix one thing break 40 more things...) SO the decision was made to just start from scrach porting it from the vibrant using the latest gb leak and rebuild everything back up for the sgs4g. Yes this is still a port but just at its base. Everything will be edited and working for the sgs4g. It wont be released tell its stable enough and all the features people need are 100 percent solid. (visual errors excluded that can be quickly fixed har :P )

Anyways Me A few members from rootz and eventually desexton for the speedtweaks are working on the rom :P we will use this thread to communicate updates to you all as we see fit and when we have stuff for you to read thats worthwhile...

Thanks for your understanding.

Please note if you plan to toll this thread be warned it will not be tolerated and posts will be reported promtly to the mods stay on topic enjoy...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Thank god this has started from scratch. Looks good. All these issue in the old rom didn't work, even after much experimentation. Scratch build is better. This already looks stable enough for daily use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 2nafish:
Is this just a theme on 2.3.4 gingerbread?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
OK, gingerbread for this phone, is now 2.3.5 not 2.3.4, and on that note, MIUI is a rom, not based on samsungs 2.3.5 at all. So, do some research before you ask questions like that.

This is not trying to be mean, just a heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
I am happy there is still work going on ...but although u said u will not release until stable ...but I love this rom soo much ...not problems but ring...if u did fixed it already just post it ...

Man how this is testing my patience. Lol. From getting daily updates to now playing the waiting game. I been itching for an update.lol its cool tho. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j3.cole:
A stable release is well worth the wait. We got a taste and this news is awesome. Thank you guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
I think waiting for a stable rom, hopefully an almost final, release would be better than releasing a stable rom with lots of issues... for example a beta. I mean, Raver does have the phone and he knows most of the issues. Sooo for me it keeps the thread clean and he doesn't waste time helping people solve miscellaneous problems. Bottom line: there's no point in beta testing when dev has the phone. Just sayin'.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
when its done not before then
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 2nafish:
the miui rom I see for this phone is based on 234

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jorge89:
Thank you for working on this, will there be a feature to undervolt the processor? or would that require me to flash a custom kernel on top of this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
I have some scripts that wouls be able to lower voltages i believe
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
the major issue with the rom atm isnt the lack of it working it works lol..... the fact that so much of it is based on having a custom cm7/miui kernel that to satisfy everything most of it has to be completely rewritten...... which is a longggggggg processes to make it work 100 percent right with the stock kernel...

and desextons tweaks will work with the rom for uv etc...

that and translating it so its in English also

also atm im working on beautiful sgs4g ...... something i been promising for ages and haven't done... so miui can wait honestly...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pudgybunnyBry:
Make it a donate to use ROM, imo lol

You. Will. Obey. XDA Premium

honestly i would never do that... i dont expect payment for any work i do... dontations are greatlly appreated but i dont expect them
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pudgybunnyBry:
Yeah it was kind of a half joke haha

I wouldn't ever expect to have to pay to use any of the ROM's you or the others create, though I don't mind donating to the cause!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SMASHERSONLY:
That actually sounds good I would. Be down for that the only thing that sucked about the rom was the no ringtone other than that I loved it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Raver is amazing. Btw android is open source. You cat ask someone to donate for something which is legally free. It is illegal for paid roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
You can ask for donations for them if you like. Donations do not equal charging.

[LG Optimus 2x] oliverh72:
Hi all,

I'm pretty much a noob here, though I'm trying to read and figure out what I've done wrong.

I was on v10c and had rooted my O2x using superoneclick, easy-peasy. Had SU going, and TiBackup. Backed up my files to Dropbox, decided to go ahead with the LG update, not realizing it would remove my root.

I had frozen a bunch of apps with TiBackup, and those seem to still be frozen, so that's all good. Everything is mostly working well, except I can only move some apps to SD, some just say it's full, even though there's 3gb free. Oh well, it seems to fix it if I un/reinstall, but I'm not so short of space that it's a big deal.

The annoying thing is that SU keeps popping up saying I'm out of date and of course I can't update it without root and I can no longer use TiBackup. I've tried using Superoneclick again but it thinks I'm still rooted. So I tried un-rooting it, but that didn't do anything as when I rebooted and went back in, Superoneclick still thinks I'm rooted.

Any ideas? Also, please explain it as though I'm dumb, cause for these purposes, I kinda am. :P

TIA

Oliver

btw, at the mo, I have no interest in custom ROMs or whatnot, just want to be able to backup & restore stuff. :)
