Well I unfortunatly thought the same about my phone after having dropped it a couple of times and it surviving unscathed. I was in my kitchen and I lost grip of my phone, sending it plumetting down to the hard tile floor. It fell about 5 feet and landed facedown on the top right-hand corner. The end result was a spread of cracks along the top of my digitizer. Moral of the story: sensations are NOT indestructable. Resilient/mostly scratch-proof? Yes. But a bad fall on a hard surface WILL result in moderate-severe damage. If you feel that you can adequately keep your sensation safe and hate cases as much as I do then the risk might be worth it, but if you hope to keep your phone completely unscathed no matter what, get a case.
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
You sir, are way too lucky. I decided not to use a case (AND THIS IS THE ONLY DAY I didn't want to use a case *big sigh!*) totally forgot my phone was in my pocket. Took it off to put on another pair and of all places... I was standing on hard floor. Thank goodness the screen didn't crack! The cover however, is already replaced. Thank goodness it's that easy! (I just with the antenna's werent there)

Just a bit of damage, the rest seems like dust. but there's mine :(
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Not nice... :P

I buy a TPU case & use it since bought senny. So far after 5 month, never drop yet ^^
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
I don't have a picture as I quickly sold mine. I got a brand new sensation a while ago and within less than a week, I found a scratch on the so called scratch resistant gorilla glass, the worst part is that I don't even know where it came from. I've taken good care of the phone within that one week period and have never dropped it or anything. At that point, I quickly bought a screen protector and bought a new phone considering the cost of replacing a cell phone costs less than replacing a digitizer. Moral of the story, always use a screen protector if you don't want scratches, the advertising for gorilla glass being durable and scratch resistant is drastically exagerated.
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
Im from Serbia, and getting case for phone here is VERY hard..

I got my own Teracell (copy of capdase) for sensation. But i hate it cause my phone feels fat and big (when you are holding it in hand.. i know this sounds weird to weirdo' people :) ).

So i bought Hard Shell .. link.

Its not same as Teracell protection but it has better looks..

As far as screen protectors - some one told me, here in Serbia, that due to curves on the edges of Sensation screen, it is impossible to fit any good screen protector..

Can u recommend any to me ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] fiz3nigma:
@KAwAtA Ooh that looks nasty. Glad to hear the glass was intact. When it dropped the frame didn't pop out from the main phone body I assume? And looks like just scratches and no really major dents to the frame. Thanks for the photo btw!

@Laynee I agree with you, I don't see many screen protectors marketed to work specially for Sensation, and my guess is also due to the curved glass. But I have never been a fan of screen protectors (and phone cases) anyway. My previous Hero survived 2 years without visible scratches with normal wear. Pretty happy with the Gorilla Glass so far.

@Radio_Dude how was the scratch, was it actually very clearly visible? I've honestly not seen phones with Gorilla Glass scratched and I'm intrigued. My old HTC Hero had Gorilla Glass and it took quite a lot of punishment being in my pocket with various other items; the glass was unscathed but the metal frame didn't fare too well. So far so good with my Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] fiz3nigma:
@Marioag_0412 That sound really painful, I really feel sorry for that! 5 feet does seem pretty high. Like you I hate cases too, and dropping phones seem rather inevitable. Hopefully if it does fall, it won't be from such a height and on a rather forgiving surface.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Why people resist using cases and screen protectors is beyond me. They're cheap, and there are PLENTY that are virtually unnoticeable on the device but give better grip and protect better.

Be smart. Protect your investment with a case and screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
fiz3nigma: believe it or not, it was quite noticeble especially under light. When I moved my nail over it, I can even feel the presence of the scratch. I heard that gorilla glass is especially prone to being scratched by sand (being made from silicon and all). Nonetheless, i'm playing it safe now and have put on a screen protector as soon as I got my replacement sensation.
[HTC Sensation] d-iivil:
Here's mine after dropping it to the asphalt from 0,7 meters.

Repair costs were about 270eur.
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
aiaiai, that looks bad dude!
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
Hey d-iivil, why don't you just buy a digitizer from the internet and do it yourself. Here in canada, there are stores that are willing to do the work for 70 bucks and buying the digitizer separately cost around 30 bucks from ebay. that's only 100 canadian, who ever is charging you 270 euro is obviously ripping you off, for that kind of money, might as well put it into getting a new phone
[HTC Sensation] d-iivil:
Because of the warranty :)

In reality I had to pay only 30e since the insurance company paid the rest, that's why I also didn't want to do the job myself. Htc repair changed the digitizer and lcd.
[HTC Sensation] silverballer:
@d-iivil

man that is just nasty! *off to buy a hard case*
[HTC Sensation] RG1F:
Wow ! I bought mine 270 euros,without carrier contract !
[HTC Sensation] d-iivil:
Yeah, but that's what it costs at official htc repair company here in Finland...

I would have changed just the digitizer myself if I didn't have good insurance :)
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Man!! Today was a very horrific terrafic (is that a word?) and dangerous day for my senny!! It just drop 3ft from air into flat floor concrete and bounds and then it flip 2 to 3 times before landing quietly on the floor :'(.. thats is the sad news..But the good news is my senny wearing TPU case!! Im sure its had absorb all the hit while its drop and bound on the floor!! Lol..lucky me, so far, no physical scratch what so ever..i try all the functioning, gps, web, camera and so far so good, all functining well..

Its scare the hell out of me!!

Maybe i should buy the hard cover and ignore the bulky thing as long my senny save :"(

I own senny for already 186 days and today is the 1st time i drop it!! Its officialy, all the phone i even own had been acidently drop by me at least 1 time..haha :P
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Anyone else facing their senny drop moment time? Lets share your experience in this thread. Its do feel a little bit better when knowing other person also facing the same feeling when their "baby" drop! lol

It just realease my tention when read and then had to comment my experience in this thread. Thanks to OP :D
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I once dropped mine at the ATM machine late one night. Went to take it out of my pocket and it slipped and fell onto the pavement. Right after I ordered a tpu case too. Of course it hadn't arrived yet though. Just got a couple minor scratches on the battery cover and that's it. I thought for sure there was going to be more damage.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Aoouchhh,,scratch?? If happen to me, i will not just buy the tpu. I will also buy the back cover also,,lol
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Its worth buying hard type tpu case for such soft drop like i did. But for such hard drop, i dont think it will going to be survive! I need to buy otterbox, case mate or ballastic type..uishh..another costing i need to deal with..*sigh* ;P
[HTC Sensation] cmhee:
i haven't experiencing the fall of my phone, by the way give my htc a cover protection. i believe that youtube can get a video that people actually doing drop test for their device...
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Oh believe me I have looked into it. Thankfully with the TPU case I dont have to see it so it doesn't bother me enough to pay to replace it.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Lol..just got my Tough Case by case mate today!! The price just RM100 after negotiate with the seller ^^ nice salesman!!

[HTC Sensation] :
I've dropped it a few times, zero damage. I won't use a case either, or a screen protector actually. I feel that cases make my high end smartphone feel like a twenty dollar silicon square :D.

Screen protectors sometimes distort screen colors and can decrease touch sensitivity, I hate that.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
You will not be always lucky.

Better make protection than nothing.

Once its happen, nothing you can do unless regrads it forever :'(
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Well its an item we use everyday, its like buying a new Bentley and then putting rubbers around "uuhh i don't want it to get hurt"

Even a bentley gets dents/scratches from riding on the highway or w/e so i guess if you ever own one you prolly never drive it :D

But you can use protection.. you like to play it safe ;)
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Dude...its not the same. Its depend on the usage. If you use rubber all around on bentley, of cause you could not ride on it. But for our senny, if you put it, you can still use it right?
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
imagine this rubberband around a bentley

bet it works if applied correctly like cases around iphones for better signal strength

but lets go ontopic again :)
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Lol..pardon me. I miss understood you. I though all around like ball shape..haha..
[HTC Sensation] DaHorse:
Hi chaps... ;)

I'm a clumsy ****er so first thing I have done after I got my senny was order this of Ebay: <bugger - can't post links because I'm too fresh on here :mad: >

Anyway, it's one of these leather flip-open cases...

Might be fat and ugly but sure as hell it already saved my baby a few times... ;)
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
My volume rocker complete and randomly fell off. Its made of 99 cent plastic if anyone was curious about their build quality on their volume rocker! :D
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
I have the otterbox commute case and its saved me. I have near perfect screen sensitivity. I can't complain.
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Tried to put it in my pocket and I missed :p

¤The statement below is true.

[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:

[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Meh, could be worse. Thinking about getting a case now...

¤The statement below is true.

[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
My dad dropped his from the top of a dump truck on accident, luckily it was in an otterbox commuter and was perfectly safe. It fell right onto asphalt. I have no idea how it still works but it does, not even a scratch on the case lol.

I have a case mate tough and have not dropped mine yet. yet...
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
I would like to but it's not possible and i don't want to prove myself wrong with a hammer. :-) i do have 2 little scratches on the case from dropping it on cement so i always have my gel case on. WORTH IT.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

I still have my first Tmobile G1 which i dropped down the stairs and has a completly cracked screen. I mean DEMOLISHED screen, guess what, STILL works. lol. That was one well made beast.
[HTC Sensation] orouborus:
i have been using htc phones since 2007 and used screen protectors on my phone replacing them as soon as the screen protector gets worn out. but with my sensation xe i am thinking of not getting a screen protector for once, htc keeps telling m i dont need it and when htc held an event in our country with their marketing manager, he was laughing that everyone in the event had screen protectors on their phone, he said the phone doesnt need it. had difficulties applying a screen protector with it. never had i any problems except for this one with its contoured glass. :D

for non screen protector users, how is the screen holding up?
[HTC Sensation] lenn-_:
Horrible, in the first week the first scratch appeared on my screen...

The glass is just tempered, not invincible! Just get a protector, the only thing why the marketeers of HTC are telling not to buy screen protectors is just to make people buy a Sensation, since the glass should be way stronger.

It is just overrated quiet a bit!
[Desire General] dropmagilla:
Everyones perfect ROM is going to be different, so here are a list of things I wanted before i set on my search for my ageing desire.

1. Smooth and responsive UI, not fussed about quadrant speeds etc.

2. Good battery life. I'm quite a heavy user, so never gonna get more than a day anyway. Screen is always the heaviest user of my battery.

3. Stability, who doesnt!

4. Plenty of free space to install loads of apps.

I was already a big fan of Go Launcher/SMS/Contacts/Keyboard, so sense isnt a big issue for me. So I tried loads of roms and during the process found some other things I just couldnt live without.

5. Sense weather lockscreen. Love it, swinging the ring around the screen makes a great stress toy!

6. Sense quick settings, the full list not just a handful.

7. Extended power menu, booting straight into recovery is great.

I'm currently using Sebastians Runnymead v5 rom with ad2sdx and ticks my box in all areas. There is a slight question mark over stability tho, i had a couple of freezes on v4.8 and some corruption on the ext4 partition.

Hopefully these have gone in v5.

I have an HTC Desire Amoled Soff, 8gig Samsung class 10 SD card (with only a 6Mb/s write speed, wtf? but 20+Mb/s read.) 123MB free RAM, 485MB free ROM(love it!) and 40 apps installed.

Can anyone else suggest a better ROM for me?

Thanks.
[Desire General] danarama:
AOSP is always going to be a good choice but you say sense is not an issue, but from your list of requirements, it is...
[Desire General] m_usmanayub:
does USB-mode work for u on this ROM?
[Desire General] dropmagilla:
Lol, very true. I was using Oxygen for a while and had no complaints at all, until I found my bluetooth headset and wanted to press the button and say the name of who i wanted to call. Not sure if that feature was implemented, but I never could get it working.

Just tested it and yes it does. However, I do seem to recall that I had problems with that a couple of days ago, although it might have been on a previous release.
[Desire General] 00Scott00:
Try LeeDroid 3.3.3 HD port. I'm loving it... Ticks all your boxes with the sense 3 patch.
[Desire General] smartybones:
My perfect rom...

I love the speed of CM7.1 and its clean interface. very slick, and would have it as my permanent ROM if if had the D2SD scripts that supernova 2.4.0.0 has.

I do love some of the things sense has, like the gallery app that connects to facebook and the clock, but if CM 7.1 had the integrated d2sd that supernova has then I could east live without sense...
[Desire General] danarama:
You know you can add data2sd to most ROMS anyway?
[Desire General] smartybones:
yeah iu know, but i really dont have the time at the moment to mess about too much.

i like how starburst just works "out the box".....

maybe when i have a little time i will look into it and put together my own custom rom....
[Desire General] $@39@:
Redux v2.0 for sure my friend. It's stable, fast and very smooth. Very good battery life and no fc's. I'm using it for the last months and before this rom I was on redux 1.2 Just give it a try. Some tips are dalvik to ext, launcher pro plus and fancy widget 1.3.0 if you like Htc clock widget.
[Desire General] manuz1200:
I try Evolutionary Sense and is very good rom. Fast, stable whit many apps from the market, rich of all kind of widget.

The gingerbread 2.3.3 based on ACE kernel is most usable than the stock rom.

For me it's the best.

I'm sorry that this ROM has no update for over 2-3 months.

Than i used CyanogenMod whit good impressive but, i think, the Desire without Sense is about a thing like donut without hole. !:D!

Now i test MIUI-XJ from 2 days. It's too late to make a review but i see the good stability, speed and very nice.

Bye.
[Desire General] sp1ke11:
You must to try MIUI. Seriously.
[Desire General] cronus101:
lol...my 8gig samsung class 6 hcsd has the same read and write speeds...
[Desire General] danarama:
Well yeah as the desire was initially only designed to work with class 4-6 cards, many class 10's only perform as a class 6 too.
[Desire General] cronus101:
reallly? well you stopped me from buying a class 10. thanks.
[Desire General] danarama:
Some work. Terepin here reports A-Data class 10 gets class 10 speeds.

I can report that Kingston Class 10's only get Class 6 speeds.

Although class 10 is a good investment for the future though, but probably cheaper then anyway :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ts_firehawk:
Hello guys!

A few weeks ago I got my phone bricked while I was playing with some custom ROMs. I don't know exactly what happened, but after I flashed openOptimus One the phone became weird. At first time, I thought it was just me that didn't liked the ROM (which was true), so I decided to flash void.forever again.

I'm not saying that the brick reason were these ROMs, but just telling what happened. So, the phone became a nice brick when I tried to reflash void.forever. I've sent it to LG on 10/13, so it should be returning today or tomorrow (they took a lot of time to recieve the board to repair).

My question now is: what I shouldn't do to it doesn't become a brick again? I actually don't care about rooting, custom ROMs and all, and this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322663 caught my attention.

Any advices?

Thanks!

lol, I meant I don't care on lose my warranty by doing this, not that I don't mind if I have root or not. Root is almost needed to me.

Hm... something tells me that my mistake was about cache or something. And what is the advantage on partitioning my SD? I've read about it in almost all ROMs, but never understood exactly what it is or for what it's for. Can someone point me?

Still hoping for a way to do presentations from a Galaxy tab.

Anyone has a pointer to potential wireless to vga ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ThomasClancy:
If you have a PC connected to the projector (or networked), all you need to do is use an app to connect to PC VIA wireless network and have the PC output directed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
That would output the PC screen; I think he wants to show the tablet screen; unfortunately I've never heard of wireless video transfer from any mobile device. It's a good idea, but I don't see it happening for a few more years.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ThomasClancy:
Not quite.... what you need is an app that allows one to control the tablet, ergo, the view on the PC desktop would actually be of the tablet, and therefore could (in theory depending on your setup) be output to the projector. There is such an app (for allowing PC to control tablet) but I cannot recall name. Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] bigtom5000:
...or use Samsung GT HDMI adapter together with Wireless HDMI adapter :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
The Samsung multiport doesn't ouput power, so external solutions couldn't work (unless you've found a way to produce radio signals without electricity...).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] psedir:
You can always use a external power source, like a battery. I use one and works fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PeartFan40:
To "unroot" the device and get rid of the exclamation mark, use Odin and flaah stock kernel. I did that myself and was able to restore original Galaxy S 2 splash screen (and kept root). Remember, in order to use Odin, you must first put the phone in download mode by simultaneously pressing and holding volume up and down amd power buttons. If you need more assistance, feel free to PM me. Good Luck.

But if he's going to exchange the phone, recovery mode will still show the flash counter > 0 if they wanted to get nasty. You need the jig to fix that.
