[HTC Sensation] whymewho:
I've never experience having a reboot with a super wipe then flashing a custom rom.. i do it almost everyday.. maybe its already a hardware since software installation (roms, and kernels) are clean when you do the flashing.. Has your phone experience some accidents? like fell on the ground?
[HTC Sensation] Frazzy:
Not that I know of.

I'm not new to flashing and I'm a real flashoholic. Nothing ever went wrong with flashing. Where other people would have problems with a certain ROM I could always enjoy the Rom without trouble.

I installed the eu version of the shipped roms. the problem seems to be different again. Nof it shuts down far less then before but I have to pull the battery to get it to boot up again.

I hope I have enough time today to S-on the phone. Does anybody know if the box states which version number it was shiped with? I know it's EU but there are different version numbers. (or is that not impotant)

Thanks for your help everybody.
[HTC Sensation] Mains:
I think the problem is the battery. I bought a new battery, the evo3d batery and so far I have not had this issue again.
[HTC Sensation] Frazzy:
Problem is solved. I got a free board swap and now everything is working again. So it was a hardware defect.

Thanks for the help all.
[HTC Sensation] BelfastLad:
I just got my Sensation after jumping from the "magick Kingdom of Apple (tm)" and an old iPhone 3G.

I'm so pleased with the Sensation, the screen is amazing and so responsive but - since I'm used to Apple's - "My way or the Highway" approach, some of the freedom has me totally confused.

On the 3G there was one mail app - I see I now have GMail and HTC Mail and that's before I go near the Market.

I had a simple contact app but now I'm pushed towards HTC People which is flooding in my facebook contacts and their posts when mostly I just want folks names and numbers to phone or txt them. If I want facebook I'm happy to start a Facebook app, other than that I really can't be ar$ed reading the piles of crap that too many "friends" are putting on.

I read that I will have some things sync'ing via Google "automatically" and the phone keeps pestering me to sign up for an HTC Sense account while online forums are saying don't have a Sense account running as it will eat up your battery...

Maybe if HTC provided a manual with more than 10 miniature pages to start explaining all this!!!!

Can someone please explain in noob friendly English what is the best combination of general apps / syncing to get mail, contacts, SMS and calendar working so that they are automatically backed up but without trying to sync every 10 mins and running the battery down quicker than my car drinks petrol (which is pretty damn fast!). I don't care if its the HTC apps or Google Apps, I just one to be running one mail client, 1 calendar etc and be able to get all that data back should I need to.

I'm not a complete idiot by the way, I ran the 3G JB'd and unlocked for 3 years through every update Apple put out and I am here because I will root and load a custom rom eventually, but I'd like to learn my way about before doing anything too adventurous.

Anyone offer me any advice or point me to a website offering a class in "HTC Sense 101".

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] cbutters:
I second this question, starting new on a sensation this week and.... somehow my facebook wants to link with my HTC facebook.... wtf? Didn't realize the sense account was wasting my battery... should I disable it?... Basic configuration theory regarding all this Sense stuff would be useful... thanks.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Gmail is the official google app for Gmail. By default, Gmail will show your google account stuff when you first sign into google account and link it to your phone.

HTC Mail is a mail client that you can configure to show any of your emails. For example, I have my Gmail specifically for my gmail (I could funnel my hotmail and exchange account to my gmail, but I don't want to), and I use my HTC Mail specifically for my Exchange account.

Now, with Facebook. I linked my Facebook account with Facebook for HTC Sense. You don't have to do this, but if you like using Friend Stream instead of the official Android app, do this.

If you go to settings > Accounts & sync > Facebook for HTC Sense, you can sync live feed, calendar, and/or contacts.

I sync my contacts so that my Gmail contacts come up with facebook pictures.

With the official Facebook app, it'll ask you if you want to sync contacts. I choose no because it funnels ALL of your Facebook friends into your contacts account, something I don't like.

If this is all confusing, you can just go to contacts, hit menu, hit view, scroll down to options, and uncheck the Facebook so that they don't show up in your contacts.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you want more info.
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Just use the gmail app for email (assuming you only use gmail) go into accounts and sync, add your google account and it will auto sync your mail, contacts and callendar. Dont worry about battery drain gmail uses push email.

Unless you want to use the htc fabeook or friend stream widgets I would avoid facebook for htc sense, just add your facebook account in accounts and sync, it will import your facebook friends into your contacts (if you want), shortly after youll get a notification about matched contacts and you can link your existing contacts with your facebook contacts, so all information (phone, email, address, facebook etc) is under a single contact. This same process can be done using your twitter account.

As for calendar there are several calendar apps on the market, I personally use Jorte calendar, it will sync with your goole calander and has some nice widget options and nice UI.

The only things I have auto syncing on my phone are google, facebook and twitter and weather. Like I said, unless you want to use the htc widgets I would avoid syncing anything "sense" related.
[HTC Sensation] BelfastLad:
Thanks for the pointers so far

Thanks to the Mod who helpfully moved my thread. I'll watch that more carefully in future.

And to the guys who've posted some good helpful advice, much appreciated.

By this time next week I'm sure I'll be well sorted. The week after I'll probably be getting itchy fingers to get rooting!

Thanks for the help but I'd still echo the 2nd posters comments. A guide to initial set-up and recommended first tweaks would be great if some "expert" could ever find the time to write one.

- Any takers?????
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
You COULD read all the long posts above about how to get Sense working....or you could do the simple thing and just use CM7. I say rather than trying to get your feet wet with Sense, just jump straight off the deep end and S-OFF+root your phone and flash CM7. With CM7 you experience Android as it was meant to be experienced by Google. No extra nonsense, no crazy background syncing hogging your battery, just pure, silky smooth Android. Facebook just syncs your contacts with their picture and any phone numbers or email addresses listed on their facebook profile. You can also combine them with your Google contacts, so say for example you meet some girl at a bar and get her number and put it into your phone as a contact. Then later you become facebook friends with her. You can combine her facebook with the contact you already put in at the bar as one unit, and now in addition to the phone number you put in before, you now have her picture from facebook associated with her in your contacts book as well as any email addresses or other phone numbers from her facebook. This is all extremely simple and easy to do with the vanilla no-sense UI.

Not to mention the rom in general is lightning fast and smooth like warm butter :) It also has CPU management built in as well as tons of other features. It's the perfect combination of performance and simplicity.

Having ruined my eyesight reading the cyan post above, it wasn't worth the effort. Seriously, I like Cyanogenmod as much as the next guy, but it's not answering the OP's question.

To the OP: Have you had a look on your SD card? When I got my Desire there was a proper manual on there in .pdf format. I've not checked on my Sensation because I put the SD card from my Desire into it when I upgraded. Failing that you can download it from here: http://www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-sensation/#download
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
I'm running a sense 3.5 Rom and would like to clear the mail app cache. But in settings, the option to do this is greyed out. So is it possible to do this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
If the option is grayed out, doesn't that means there's no cache to clear?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I take it like myself you do not use the mail app? Have you tried using Titanium Backup, >Backup/Restore, scroll to Mail app, tap it then select 'wipe data'. You can freeze it as well which should stop it collecting data and make it invisable in your app drawer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meister_Panse:
Yes, it means that there is nothing to clear !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
The wipe data function in titanium does the same as clear data in manage applications, not clear cache.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
I'm trying to download either Voice Actions Infinity or Voice Actions Plus from my phone, currently running Hurricane ROM 1.6. I can find it fine in the web market, and I try to install it from there, but nothing shows up on my phone.

I also try to find it on my phone's Market and it just doesn't come up in any search I do.

I don't have problems downloading anything else, nor have I ever hit this issue before.

Any ideas? Maybe has to do with running the EH17 leak?
[Epic 4G General] greezestain:
Initiating the install from the web market didn't work for me, but I was able to find and install just fine via the Market app on my phone.

You can't even find it? This may be a dumb question, but did you search for just "voice actions" ?

(I didn't try Voice Actions Plus because I didn't want to spend money just to test. Infinity worked fine though.)
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Yep, I tried "Voice Actions", "Voiceactions", "Voice Actions Plus", "Voice Actions Infinity", "Pannous" (the developer), etc. Apps come up, but not what I am looking for.. I get Google Voice Search, etc.

I downloaded Appbrain and found it through there, but it says the app is not compatible with my phone... my girlfriend's stock EC05 Epic can download it just fine... hmm...
[Epic 4G General] greezestain:
I'm on an EC05 rom too, so I'll bet that's it. Maybe it's Froyo only, or maybe the Market doesn't like EH17.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Dunno. The app's web market page says it supports anything above Android 1.6... and I never hit this issue before, except when very explicit (like searching for Tegra games on my non-Tegra phone, etc.).

Oh well. I wonder if I can install the free version's .apk file in the mean time... but I can't find it :(
[Epic 4G General] oliver7:
it's called "voice agent".

I am on the same situation, a running. Eh17 and a can't. Find the application. Can some one please. Help my

Let me get this straight. You were too lazy to make your own card, you bought one already made and now you come to us to see if you can essentially rip off the people that make the N2A card so you don't have to spend any other of your tightfisted dollars? I hardly think so!

Maybe someone on here will forward this to the N2A people in case you were dumb enough to use a screen name that was close enough for them to identify their customer......
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
You're not ripping anyone off. You purchased the N2A card. Now it's yours, you can do with it as you wish. You're not burning it to sell to someone else. Hey, maybe you want a backup of your card in case the one you have messes up.

You can either use WinImage to back up the whole card and burn the image onto the new one.

Or if you have a mac or linux box, you can use the "dd" command to do essentially the same thing.

You folks are not reading her post. She wants to clone it to use on another Nook Color. That is called piracy. In fact, it is prohibited here in the forums....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divine_Madcat:
Mod time:

So, this post was brought to my attention, and is a very interesting one. At the surface, this act looks as if it is a warez post, but a little background makes me think otherwise (perhaps putting it in a grey area).

The n2a card, is actually little more than CM7 preinstalled on a new(?) SD card. Because CM7 is an open and free project, I do not feel that cloning a purchased card is actually stealing anything... indeed, the same result can be achieved with the user putting CM7 on the card the same way as n2a does it. Additionally, places advised that you really paying for the card, with the convince of having cm7 already on it.

For now, I am leaving this, but will note that tis is pending further review and discussion, and things may change...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCrid2000:
I don't think that would be piracy any more than making your own card. N2A doesn't do anything special to their cards. You buy the service off putting Android on the card, that's it. N2A owns nothing on that card.

That being said, it still would probably be easier to follow the directions in this forum and make a new card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loriski:
Okay let me set you straight I had a adata card and tried to make one and I failed maybe it was the card brand??????? So no I was not lazy.

Anyways I bought one that the guy said was paying for his time to put the free software on the card that was a sandisk brand. He said he does not own the software. So if this card does fail and or I want to use the free software on another nook I don't see a problem as I paid for the guys time already. Now if I'm wrong I'm sorry.

Thanks for your time,

Lori..
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loriski:
Thanks for your post. I wish it was easy I failed so I bought one. :( Maybe the card brand bad? I think I will try a sandisk card and maybe I will get it figured out.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loriski:
Delete please. :(
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Ok, I admit I over-reacted in my original post. I've always felt the selling of the N2A card was a bit of a ripoff of all the hard work put into CM7 by the developers, especially since there was never mention of any proceeds going back to support the developers. $34.99 for an 8GB card, $49.99 for a 16GB card and $79.99 for a 32GB card ...... really? Then to see someone buy one card and then simply want to clone it to use in another NC (her daughter's if I recall correctly) just did not seem right. But, I defer to the moderators...... :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loriski:
Hi Again,

I agree with you totally on the money being sent to the people that developed the software. I don't have a issue with that part. ( I still don't know why they give it away for free?) If the CM7 people sold the card I would have bought from them. This is not my fault that the N2A ripped those people off. I just felt I didn't want to send N2a anymore money for something I already bought and if software is Free didn't think that was wrong. I was not going to do this to make money like them. I just need a backup for use in another one or maybe in case this one messes up somehow. I tried making my own at first but with blue dots and other items I got so confused what to do and didn't want to mess my new refurb CN up. :( Maybe after my chemo treatment effects subside I will feel better and can try again with a sandisk card this time. I would also like the moderators to just please delete all these posts.

Thanks

Lori
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrblanche:
I think any number of people have tried with the instructions here and failed to make a usable card. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's because of the plethora of conflicting instructions. Maybe it's the links to outdated software, or dead links. Maybe it's just the "simply do this, then this, then download this that may not work with your OS, so you might have to do this, then be sure to hold the buttons down just this length of time," and so on, but I tried twice and gave up.

So, I bought an N2A card, inserted it, and my NC booted up immediately and it all worked. That's certainly worth something. I now have the fairly nifty Android tablet running Jelly Bean that I had hoped to have almost a year ago, and despaired of every successfully setting up. I don't think the payment to N2A was out of line, considering the time I had spent trying to do the same thing.

I'm not sure I'd pay them for a second card, if the first one died and I had a backup.

So I've went back and forth from CM7 to Sense countless times and I finally realized that CM7 just isnt my thing. Sense although is much more battery and memory aggressive, is just more flashy and user friendly, which i like. And as 'one of those guys' I seem to like to stay on top of sense, so which is the best sense 3.5 rom in your opinion. Could be bliss or runnymede, I don't care but just let me know.

I got my GS2 not too long ago, and from the start, it's had issues connecting to my house router. I've tried the wifi elsewhere, and it works just fine.

I have about 7-8 other devices that connect to my router in my house, and they all work. Why doesn't my GS2 work? It's still on stock rom.

I have Verizon FIOS and the plain router they give you, if that matters. Looking for answers before the 30 day window if possible.

Clockworkmod keeps giving me a cache recovery error and won't allow me to restore any backups, flash roms, or wipe cache. It happened to me before running stock rooted 2.3.3 and I just downloaded the stock RUU and flashed it in HBOOT. Last night I flashed CM7.1.0.1 and tiamat 1.1.4 and after it booted i rebooted into recovery to flash gapps and it booted up fine but froze after about 20 minutes. I pulled battery and it locked up on HTC boot screen. Rebooted into recovery and I got the cache recovery error again so I wiped data and redid the PG33IMG process this time with no luck. I have tried all day and it won't get past updating SPlash1
