[T-Mobile LG G2x] erosgulo:
Everytime i have tried flashing a CM7 based rom, and i've tried almost all of them, once the screen goes to sleep it won't wake up. i think that's called sleep of death (SOD), pardon my n00bness if i'm wrong. the odd thing is that when i press the wake button, the phone and even the digitizer wake up because i can hear/feel the phone unlocking when i make the sliding motion on the screen, but the screen itself will not wake up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? or better yet any ways of preventing/fixing this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Do you have this issue on stock?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
What kernel r u using? If u flashed uv kernel try to use stock voltage, some devices don't work well with custom uv kernels
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodles2224:
I have this problem with all 3 kernels, stock, oc UV, and oc stock voltage .. I've had this phone for a month now, this is what makes it a waste of money for me. Even my girl has this problem with her g2x, yesterday I put cm 7.1, hers started doing it too.. and she's had 3 replacements..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Did u wipe ur data and format system before flashing? Try to fix permission too. Only guessing but maybe the battery is bad, as far as I know u not getting new one with replacement, so if u had same issue on stock rom that could be a problem.

I had 2 replacements but had that problem only if undervolt too much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodles2224:
Well, I don't think its the battery dying but someone mentioned here before that if you look at the battery where the connectors are, there's 4 on the battery but 3 on the phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erosgulo:
No this issue only occurs on CM7 based roms, OTA 2.3.3 based roms work great

I haven't purposely flashed any non-stock kernels alongside the roms, unless all the roms i flashed included UV kernels....but i've flashed almost every CM7 based rom

I did wipe data, format system and even fix permissions and still same problem occurs, I don't think it has to do with the battery tho because stock OTA based roms don't have this issue...it must be something particular about the CM7 base

Also, could it be the fact that i have the WIND mobile optimus 2x? it says p999-DW on the back though

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulc426:
Hello All... i have recently flashed crazy 8 and now my facebook sync will not work. Any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem is?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
Goto settings, then account sync, click on facebook and make sure all the boxes are checked and time interval is set to your liking. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulc426:
Thank you for the reply fear! The problem I am running into is once I try to set up the sync for facebook it says the session has expired and I have been logged out. Then it says the sync has experienced trouble and then there is a red exclamation point I believe. have you seen this and is there a certain thingi have to do to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanhbinh_lth:
Goto settings, then account sync, click on facebook
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulc426:
That is were all this is happening!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
I had that problem. If you have the Facebook app installed, you will see two FBs under Accounts and Sync. Use the app to sync, not the build in service.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulc426:
It's weird!! I fixed this by removing the facebook app and then reinstalling it...very strange but everything is working good again!
[Acer Iconia A500] dwallen:
I downloaded the 3.2 update with the intention of saving to PC and installing it later. But where the heck is it???

Also, will deleting the file from the tab get rid of the install nag dialog?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
It doesn't store, and you can't save it. Look at your log file for the URL and you can d/l it that way. A simple search on this forum will give you details.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dwallen:
wow. If i knew enough about Android to actually understand your reply, I wouldn't have had to ask the original question.

I don't know where this log is any more than I knew where the OTA file is.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
And my guess is that you don't even know how to use the search function in this forum as already suggested either?

Click HERE.

It's exactly what you need to fix your problem.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dwallen:
Such a helpful guy...

Actually, I do know how to use search functions, but with every browser I've tried on thee Acer, the search dialog doesn't function. Since I'm not near my PC searching isn't an option.

But, never mind. Someone asked the same question on another forum and got a real answer, not a half-baked one.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Search function works fine on tabs here. All you have to do is click "advanced". This pretty much confirms the link I sent for you ;)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I'm trying to decide which mobile to buy and I've narrowed it down to the Sensation and the Galaxy S 2, I've had the HTC Desire which was fine but more recently I've had and returned 3 HTC Incredible S handsets. All 3 suffered with signal drop on the O2 network here at my home (the Desire seemed OK).

After looking through the Sensation forum, I'm getting concerned that HTC may be loosing a grip as far as standards go?

Now that you've owned your Sensation, what do you think? Would you still buy the Sensation if you were once again in the Market for a phone?
[HTC Sensation] Razius:
Not really

What only makes me ever say I regret buying it is the spec increase only mere months after it's release. I love the phone, a few software problems, but that isn't a deal breaker. I was an early adopter and haven't really had any problems with it. Screen is great, no scratches, feels great in the hand. However between the two I wouldn't know what to pick. I love my Sensation and also want a Galaxy SII. It is really up to which one you can get your hands on. From what I can tell there is a better screen on the SII, but I prefer the resolution on the Sensation. However the Sensations speaker isn't fantastic, but I use headphones anyway so no big deal. Battery isn't too bad on the Sensation. I can easily get a days worth out of it. So to answer your question no I don't really regret the purchase.
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I have no regrets. I have had to return two of them but the third one was perfectly fine. I had no problem returning them cause it never costed me a dime and I was never without a phone. If I were in the market today I wouldnt get it though. I would go for the Amaze. Also I am not a fan of Samsungs. They feel too light and cheap for me. I like my phones to feel like a solid piece of hardware and Samsungs just dont.
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Thanks for the replies so far, much appreciated. I did actually post a similar thread in the Samsung forum a day or so ago.

I also posted my list of pros and cons over at the Hotukdeals site, would you say it's a fairly accurate list?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Nope, but I wouldn't get one right now.
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
My Battery life is just fine. Never had dust under my screen. The viewing angles are actually pretty dang good. Bright whites was out to yellowish but all the others hold fine even to extreme angles.

The SAMOLED screen on the TMobile GS2 is bigger but lower resolution causing everything to be really big. Perhaps root will fix that.

I am SERIOUSLY loving InsertCoin 3.2.7 which is a Sense 3.5 rom. The only Rom I've ever tried that was nearly as smooth and fast was an AOSP Rom on my mytouch 4g. It's like buttered silk AND I have 200mb free ram.

My ONLY con now is the app storage or lack therof. Even the low volume speaker was fixed via ROM and Volume+
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I don't regret it. Too bad I have to say goodbye though....its a solid device with a lot of ongoing support and tweaks.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] Krisbo:
My main gripe about the Sensation is Sense 3.0. I've owned a heap of HTC devices and I'm just not sold on the new sense. There's an SGS2 on its way to me right now so I'll offer a more objective opinion when it arrives.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
No regrets at all and it continues to rock with the Developers!
[HTC Sensation] crking1980:
no regrets here at all. i have gone through alot of android phones through tmobile. i must admit this has been the best phone i have owned. If i was shopping for a new phone today i would go for the amaze over the sensation only bc of the higher specs. besides that this phone is amazing especially with CM installed. it felt like a brand new toy once i installed it
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
There is absolutely ZERO reason to get a Sensation right now (or ANY phone really), until the Nexus Prime details are (officially) revealed.

That being said, I also have zero regrets about purchasing the Sensation. It was hands-down *THE* absolute best phone for T-Mobile at the time and I've certainly loved using it for the past 4 months.

Bottom Line: If you're looking to purchase a smart phone in the near future, it would be foolish to not wait until the Nexus Prime is officially revealed. It has the potential to change the Android landscape, and while we don't regret OUR purchase of the Sensation, the Prime might make YOUR purchase an instant-regret. Just wait :cool:
[HTC Sensation] krayziebydaflesh:
I have to say yea i regret purchasing my Sensation. Not because of all the new Phones that are pretty much updated versions of it... but because of all the manufacture defects i've encountered.. such as dust build up around top and wedged in between the front camera that cannot be removed, Also randomly unresponsive screen due to static build up between the battery cover and pin. And the worst, a Screwed up headphone jack that decides to pause/play/skip music as well as make random calls whenever headphones are plugged in. Pisses me off that i need to carry an extra device (ipod) just so i can listen to music..

Im really conflicted as to what to do with my phone or whether i should switch to another device..

Samsung Galaxy S 2 has some great specs but the cheap flimsy plastic is a killer. (former Vibrant owner and hated the cheap toddler toy feel)

The HTC Amaze looks sexy as hell but at it turns out it has the same Battery cover design as the Sensation which will most likely lead back to Dust and unresponsive screen issues..

Hopes the Nexus Prime comes to tmobile and really hopes samsung doesnt screw it up by making it out of plastic so cheap that it makes a McDonald's toy look like a quality build
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
I'd definitely buy it again - I was also worried because of all the griping on this forum, but my Sensation's been perfect and it's the best HTC phone I've owned. Feels a lot better in the hand than the Galaxy S 2, has a better aspect ratio and (to me) a better, less over-saturated screen.

Plus, Sense 3.0 (with Android Revolution HD) is a dream to use.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I cant tell you how much I regret buying mine. Awesome hardware specs, huge screen, but HORRIBLE build quality and constant ongoing issues. In addition, Sense is just terrible and I do not think I will ever buy another Android phone that isnt bone stock with no carrier modifications. Its honestly not worth the headache waiting around for people to mod a ROM just so it can finally be up to par with a vanilla Nexus type phone IMO.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
I bought my Sensation when it first came out in June. I have zero regrets buying it and it has been a great phone to date. I haven't really had any issues, although now I believe I have some dust under the screen. With that said, I still have no issue buying it then as it was the best phone on the market at the time. There is also tons of development for it - which I really like. I was actually looking at giving my wife the Sensation and upgrading to either the GS II or Amaze. I went and checked out both of those phones today and have to say I was underwhelmed. The GS II is big and has a plastic feel to it. I also noticed a lot of lag when scrolling thru the home screens and felt my Sensation (running ARHD ROM) was more responsive. Also, not really a fan of Touch Wiz. The Amaze is nice, and it is very similar to the Sensation. However I am not sure if it will get rooted (quickly) and the amount of development that it will get. Not sure if it's worth the upgrade.

My 02¢....hope it helps.
[HTC Sensation] Macklessdaddy:
curious as to why you haven't gotten a replacement
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
F no! And many ppl sayig manafactuer defects, I just think bad use.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Absolutely regret it. Sense was nowhere near optimized for the Sensation and it shows in the way that the fastest custom Sense ROMs for us are still a little bit slower than the newest stock HTC devices that run Sense 3.0. I will never buy a LCD screen phone again because it is worthless in the sunlight and is in general washed out in light. The speaker is bad; ROMs or Volume+ apps that barely increase the volume do not fix the fact that it is a hardware problem.

That said, I do enjoy tinkering with and using my Sensation. I still think it is perhaps the most beautiful looking device of the year, I enjoy the fact that we have decent dev support on here, and the screen res is enjoyable. I'm also really waiting to see what this phone can do with ICS and when CM7 comes out of Alpha or whatever (I'm very nitpicky and will only install full on ROMs that only have minor issues). In that sense, I'm enjoying what I can with this phone even though I wish I would have waited for a better one (but heck, I was put in a hard position because I had to get a new phone at the time the Sensation came out and it was the best Tmob phone available). But, if I was in the market for a new phone right now I would absolutely wait for the Nexus Prime. The SGSII seems like a good step up, but I would hesitate to get a phone that isn't a 100% upgrade over the Sensation (some things like the screen res are a step down).
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
I regret it. If I knew as much about this phone as I know now... I would've keep my Glacier.

Thing is a piece of crap, really. Sure, it has top specs... but software is a mess and build quality is dissapointing. I wanted to love it but I can't. Ready to sell if for whatever I can as soon as next Nexus device drops.

Sorry HTC, you really dropped the ball lately and I'm going to speak with my wallet from now on.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
ZERO regrets.

I love this phone.

Amaze might be a slightly better hardware but it's ugly as F to me.

only thing XE offers is the headphones basically. Software we can get, no big.

having said that, if you are in the market now for a new phone I'd say wait til Nexus Prime is officially announced.

we don't know the full details yet but it should be a beast.
[HTC Sensation] messer19:
Some regrets here right after purchasing. Especially software (random reboots, laggy Sense etc.) Shame that HTC didn´t care much about software tuning. But thanks to awesome devs from this forum and their awesome ROMS my phone is running as has been meant to. I have zero problems now.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
I don't regret my purchase at all but if I were going to buy one today, I'd probably hold of until the nexus prime. Fact is I'll probably get a prime anyway but at least I'll have had a good 4 months out of my sensation.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] SoulTemptation:
Quick answer: No, I dont regreet

Long answer: I was in the same situation as you. Comming from the desire, had to decide between the Sensation and the SGSII. I took the Sensation (obviously).

I took the Sensation because of the Software (Sense, love it) and the the looks of it. I also like the weight of it. Some people say its heavy. But I think the SGSII is to light ^^

In my humble opinion, the SGSII has the better specs. Battery is bigger (1650 mAh), better screen, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, better speakers, better camera.

So its a decision between software/"hardware looks" and "hardware specs".

But I would also wait for the nexus prime. But if you say that it needs sense, then go for the sensation (or the amaze).
[HTC Sensation] anri69:
I love this phone!

I bought it because I fell in love with Sense. qHD resolution was a major factor too. I am not a heavy user and i get one and a half day of use easily with stock battery (GSM only, brightness 15-20%, all syncs off).

Rooted , using CoreDroid 2.4 with all animations on and I am really happy. The only downside is the speaker in my opinion. Volume+ helps a little.

The iphone-like SGSII looks ugly to me.
[HTC Sensation] vszulc:
Heh, saw your thread and I'm also coming from the Desire... Amazing how many of us there are, eh?

I had the Sensation for a few weeks, and now I use an Evo3D as well as a SGSII, so I'll give you the opinion of somebody who have both phones.

(Hardware-wise the Sensation and Evo3D are very similar. Same CPU, same GPU, same screen, same Sense...)

You're pretty much spot on regarding pro and cons... The Evo/Sensation has a heavier build and feels more solid, though I wouldn't call the SGSII finish 'cheap'. It's really well balanced and you gotta love how thin it is. In the end though, it's a matter of preference. Some like their phones heavy, some like them light.

Regarding resolution and the screen, it's again mostly a matter of preference. The SGSII has that glorious vibrant SAMOLED screen, but some people don't like how vibrant and artificial the colors look. The Evo/Sensation has an advantage when it comes to resolution, and believe me... Once you tried QHD resolution you'll miss it, and easily notice that its missing when you use phone without it. It especially makes a difference if you surf a lot on the net, or read a lot of magazines/books. It's just so much more easy to read, and you can fit a lot more of the page onto one screen.

The last point I have is about speed and user-interface. It's again a matter of preference whether you prefer Sense or Touchwiz, but one point where the Evo/Sensation can't compete with the SGSII is speed and how fluid the UI is.

Usually you can't complain about the speed of the Sensation/Evo in daily life, but every now and then, usually once or twice a day, there is a slight lag.

(Try going into the Manage Applications option in Settings to see what I mean)

You don't get that on the SGSII at all. It's completely lag free, and as smooth as an iPhone (Only WP7 can beat it IMHO). As fast as the Sensation is, you also see the difference in stuff like flicking the screen back and forth. The SGSII is just buttery smooth, compared to the slightly less fluid Sensation/Evo.

(Now granted, the difference isn't big. You gotta look for it to notice)

So do I regret getting the Sensation? You bet... That's why I got the Evo, lol! But the difference between the two flagships is pretty small, and each phone has a couple of things where it has the edge over the other phone.

Which is why I went for both, I guess. Couldn't make up my mind, lol...

But the thing is, which is the better buy? If price was equal, it's up to your personal preferences which one to get. But you can get the SGSII quite a bit cheaper these days, than the Sensation. (100$-200$ where I live) so if it's the same situation where you are, the SGSII gives you better value for money, IMHO.
[HTC Sensation] cozmic1988:
The Samsung Galaxy S 2 feels like a toy. Too light, bad WiFi signal and boring interface. I sold it and stuck with my Sensation. I had a Desire beforehand and am amazingly happy with the Sensation. Death grip never been an issue for me on Three.
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
I agree completely - I picked up the S2 and the Sensation (even had a go on the salesperson's S2) and it just felt like something I should give to my son to play with :)
[HTC Sensation] shafez:
I had the S2 for a month and sold it and got the sensation.

The S2 feels faster because the touchwiz is not as heavy as the sense and very limited.

But the screen was really getting on me and I could not stand the color saturation.
[HTC Sensation] gerryjoson:
I bought another Desire HD after selling the first to get a sensation, reasons...

Lag and jerky scrolling/panning, ridiculous with it's spec

Don't like the narrower screen

Don't like the recessed screen

Like the shape and meaty feel of the desire better

The 1080 recording is nice, but not worth the cons overall for me
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
It's going to be a tough decision between the two, it's never straight forward is it? :-)

I have to say that the death grip or possibility of suffering from dropped signal is a big concern, but having said that, if the SG2 has poor wifj range!

Re the Nexus Prime, I don't think that's going to be a realistic option for me, I expect it to be quite expensive. I want to buy a sim free phone and really I'm aiming to keep the price around £370 or less if possible, I'm trying to stay married. :-) I only recent blew £400 on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I've hardly used it.
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
SGSII has a 8 MP camera why would the prime go﻿ backwards to a 5 MP? pretty dumb
[HTC Sensation] cbutters:
sensation

Would buy it again,

Some background, I've had pocketpcs since 2000, used to be what would now be called a ROM developer for the casio BE-300 a LONG time ago, Ive had Axim X3, and X51v with a VGA display way before PPCs combined with phones. I've owned a PPC-6700, Sprint Mogul,HTC Diamond, 3GS, Nexus One, iPhone4.

I purchased my Sensation last week through T-mobile, coming from an iphone4 and sick of only having edge speeds on T-mobile. I purchased the sensation against the recommendations of my friends and family, who claimed the G2x was much faster and didn't have "that crappy sense interface".

Well, I knew I could figure out how to root and strip out the sense if I didn't like it, and I wanted the qHD resolution more than the gaming performance specs of the tegra2 since I don't play games. I read a lot of comic books and webpages, and coming from the retina display figured I wouldn't want anything lower than qHD.

For my usage, especially coming from a retina display, I think that the sensation was an awesome choice, I have no issues with the resolution, the large screen is great, I don't have any issues with build quality of the sensation, feels nice and responsive, the touch screen is responsive as well. Doesn't get super hot like my nexus did. First thing I did was root and install Revolution HD ROM. I may eventually try out the NO-Sense version, but will probably just hold out for ICS.

Nexus prime might be just around the corner, but who knows when it will actually be on t-mobile, and you can always just sell your phone to make up the difference. If you need a phone now, don't hesitate on the sensation. I might change my recommendation to the galaxy s2 if it had the higher resolution screen, but it doesn't... so
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Nope, I don't regret my purchase at all, was a huge improvement over the Blackberry I previously had. That being said, if the Nexus is as great as everyone is making it out to be, then I'll jump ship after it's had significant developer support. But that's a long ways from now, maybe in 6 months or so.
[HTC Sensation] stormster:
I don't regret buying the phone. Its just perfect ( with small glitches but you can't have everything...) Now I am trying to root+ROM it... No success whatsoever... And trying to change the lockscreen - priority #1
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
One more thing to remember is that the SGS2 apparently has very poor EMI shielding - have a look here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/13

The audio review is written by supercurio of this very site.

What you should listen to is the sound sample about a quarter of the way down- you can hear CPU and EDGE noise coming through the headphones jack. Now I don't know if you'll ever hear it with standard cans or buds, but this kinda switched me off the SGS2 pretty quickly.
