[HTC Sensation] simms22:
your first mistake.. the nexus s is not a downgrade. not even close. just because it doesnt have a dual core cpu, doesnt mean anything. as a matter of fact, my nexus s doesnt know that it doesnt have a dual core, and im not telling it :eek:

i have a friend thats very disgruntled with his sensation also. and for pretty much the same reasons that you gave. the only thing that i can say to ease your pain is that morfic, the creator of the Trinity line of kernels(for the ns/ns4g), has just received a sensation to develop on. im hopeful that the sensation will be seeing some great kernels in not to long of a time span. so, heads up :)
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
lol, that's why I put downgrade in quotes, everything about the phone in terms of specs is worse than the sensation, but I think it's a better over all phone. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll definitely keep track of this this morfic guy.
[HTC Sensation] tehgeekguy:
I fully agree with this. My friend had a Sensation, and even though the specs look better on paper, my phone could out-perform his easily, especially with Morfic's or Ezekeel's kernel.
[HTC Sensation] morfic:
It is a slippery slope.

the 1.35x higher resolution skews 2D and 3D benchmarks.

benchmarking sense roms with the unoptimized libsqlite implementation drops IO scores

so it stacks up quite nicely now where i can actually benchmark a sensation hands on

flashing cm7 alpha10 on sensation right now to do some further test on a more familiar platform.

user experience is great on sensation so far btw
[HTC Sensation] chewbz:
I'd wait till the ics OTA drops for the nexus s. Right now ics roms are pretty stable but they are no where near as smooth as gingerbread roms. No one knows how well ics will transfer to single cores, so your sensation may be better for the long run because of the duel core.
[HTC Sensation] tehgeekguy:
For sure. It's a gorgeous phone, and I've always liked the Sense UI. I think it's the best OEM UI out there. I think once the phone gets some more attention it'll definitely be a nice piece of hardware. Honestly, if I were in the OP's position, I would probably hang on to the phone if I could... but it seems it doesn't meet his needs.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
I actually disagree about the ux on sense. There are a lot of little things that really bother me. The way that the notification drawers sometimes takes a second to slide down for no apparent reason, the unlock animation, the lack of a bookmarks button in the browser (you have to hit menu), and the choppiness of the app drawer to name a few. imo, cm7 is a much more pleasant to use os, but that has been really buggy for me on my sensation. Sense is definitely a love/hate affair, and I really hate it lol. (Which is strange because I actually liked sense 2.x quite a bit, 3.0 was a step backwards imo.)
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
I am definitely going to hang on to it for at least a month or two, I just wanted to see how you nexus owners like your phones as I don't have any friends with them.
[HTC Sensation] tehgeekguy:
Just curious, which ROM are you running? Not sure if you're on stock or a customer Rom, but when I had my Inspire I ran Android Revolution most of the time (when I wasn't on CM) and the performance improvement over the stock ROM was amazing. I talked my friend into throwing Android Revolution HD (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849) on his Sensation 4G and he keeps mentioning how much faster it is now.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
I'm on cm7 right now. I have tried arhd, but that gave me really bad battery life, no matter which kernel I used. I tried a few others, I think insert coin was one of them, but none really felt as snappy as cm7. Some were smoother, but multitasking and opening apps is much quicker in cm7. I'll take the buggyness of cm's current state on the sensation over sense any day.
[HTC Sensation] contradude:
My ns4g with aosp's ics ROM is incredible. Probably going to take a break from my EVO 3d and use it as my daily driver for a while once the OTA drops
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
First why in the he'll would you get an HTC phone if you didn't like sense, dumb move, should have got the g2x. It will get better for aosp, quit crying..

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
I think you're asking a bit much there. CM for Sensation is being done by one guy. One guy with a real life and a real job and real commitments that don't involve coding an OS for a bunch of - quite frankly - ungrateful users. KMobs is an utter perfectionist, but he has good reasons as to why we don't have nightly releases for the Sensation yet (a9 is just about perfect but a10 introduced a bunch of bugs... and to be honest, I'd prefer he focused on getting CM9 alphas out the door).

The real fact of the matter is that the Android market is much broader than it has ever been. Two years ago, we were looking forward to the Droid and Nexus One as our saviours from the 528MHz MSM720x-infected designs that were around. All we really had to choose from was the HTC Dream/G1, Magic/MT3G and Hero, which all shared basically identical internal designs. Nowadays you can point at just about any brand of phones and they'll have a truly lustworthy Android handset competing for your dollars and marketshare, so therefore the developer base has splintered accordingly. It's therefore only natural that handsets will have less 3rd-party developer support as time goes on.

OK, this interests me. I haven't had these issues. In fact, my Sensation has far better reception than my two previous phones (LG Opitmus 2X and Samsung Galaxy S). I've definitely not noticed any ghosting or scanlines on my screen. Dust under the screen, yes. Power button funkiness, yes. At the risk of sounding like a Sensation/HTC apologist, I'd suggest that your phone has some kind of fault and you should get it looked at.

GS Owners? Well, I assume you're addressing Sensation owners here ;)

I'm very tempted to upgrade to a GN. I won't though, mostly for the following reasons;

Removable SD Card - GN only has internal memory, muddied by...

USB Mass Storage - GN uses MTD which is a suboptimal ux, IMO. In a nutshell it means that all the writeable media on the phone presents as a single unified area with the user accessible /sdcard/ just being a directory rather than a separate partition & device as it is otherwise. It's probably The Future, but right now I hate it.

Offscreen buttons - I hate capacitive buttons as they are, but at least they're not taking up screen real estate

Build quality - The Sensation feels glorious. Samsung devices tend to feel cheap.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Just FYI, there are 2 other guys that are working on Sensation from the CM team. Not gonna post links since I don't care if you believe me or not, but you can find them on kmobs g+ feed. They just don't post on XDA, and don't release things until the next build has enough to warrant a release. They've been saying we'd go into nightly status soon, but either there are a couple of problems that they haven't found solutions to, someone is busy with their lives, or someone got pregnant (joke).
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
I wouldn't mind knowing who those guys are actually; so I can follow them myself on G+.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
It looks like some dumba** mod didn't read my post and moved it from the nexus s forums to the sensation forums. The point of the thread was not to complain about cm development on the sensation, I realize that it's a labor of love and that the team working on it is small, the point of the thread was to ask galaxy s owners whether they feel proper CM support and stock OTA updates are worth the downgrade in hardware.

And no, my phone is not defective, it has one of the auo screens which have been confirmed to have scanlines and poor pixel response times.

@the guy asking me why I bought an htc phone: htc phones have always been famous for having great cm support and their hardware is really nice.
[HTC Sensation] ninetwozero:
I feel that my Sensation is a bit slow sometimes, but I'm trying to tell myself that it'll all be great when ICS comes out (either via HTC or CM9). :)
[HTC Sensation] Babydollll:
I have both. I love my Nexus S and my Sensation. It's the best of both worlds in my eyes. :D
[HTC Sensation] morfic:
Are you on a Sense 3.0 rom?

Would you care to try the kernel on www.derkernel.com?

Both Pyramid3D and BulletProof V1.4 are extremely smooth with it, even if BulletProof lacks the smooth launcher mod.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
Yeah, I think I might end up going that route too if the used prices for the nexus s drop to the $200-$250 mark. I'd hate to part with this beautiful piece of hardware.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
My issue is not so much with the smoothness of the launcher as it is general sluggishness and weird ui quirks that annoy the hell out of me. Thanks for the recommendation though. Is that your kernel?
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Ah. That explains it then. :)

It has? I have an AOU screen and it's fine. A bit dusty (not enough to complain about though), but otherwise fine. Strange.
[HTC Sensation] morfic:
Indeed, It is.

Mind if I paste a swappa listing here, when I finally do list my nexus s?
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
Sure, that would be great.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
Just read through the thread on the topic and it seems that not all auo screens have the scanlines, but the only screens that have scanlines are the auo ones. So I guess I do have a bad sensation.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
What scan line? Mine acer screen, but not notice any line on screen. Could you direct me?
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
I think op made a terrible choice of phone, if all your looking for in a phone is pure speed then this is definetly the wrong phone for you go for a nexus s. I personally would consider the nexus s a downgrade the picture quality is not as good, smaller screen, single core, and the software differences which are actually inconvenient, the sensation is great if you like sense and there are good things about it like the dialer, the quick settings, the music player, the lock screen, etc. Sense is known for being polished feature wise and looks cm7 can add a lot of good features to a plain stock Android phone which is good but it doesn't add everything. I'm probably within the few that get a phone for its software but my phones I've chosen based on there software when I had the vibrant all the touchwiz mods were dope and it was a rom heaven device so many different ones to try that being said it sucks lots of devs are leaving the sensation for other phones but if its not the galaxy nexus its not really worth the upgrade I'd rather wait for the first ics running devices to launch from HTC or Samsung
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
OP, I left my Sensation for a Nexus S that I already had and never looked back. I eventually sold the Sensation and I don't regret it one bit. My Nexus S ran better and was more consistent than my Sensation. Whereas it seemed the Sensation would get progressively slower after about 5 days of uptime, I never experienced that on my Nexus S. I was going through the same thing you were and what pushed me over the edge was when I started having the power button issue. That did it for me, and to the Nexus S I went. It was so nice going back to a smooth phone. Sense bogs the Sensation down so much the the single core Nexus S runs circles around it. Then there's the google wallet flash you can do on the Nexus S and use your phone as a credit card (at business that have paypass). I've used that feature quite a bit. After going back to the nexus s it reminded me of why I like vanilla android so much. It's way more stable and much quicker. I have since decided from now on, I'm sticking to nexus devices. Since then I sold my nexus s and imported the galaxy nexus which I am in love with. Simply put, jump in the nexus s pool, you won't regret it. It's simply a better phone than the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] amd_203:
If you're really considering getting a Nexus S - I'd recommend it for sure and support that decision. The Nexus S is an extremely great device with some amazing developers who push out some awesome ROMs. Everyone think that dual-core phones are literally twice as fast as a single core but that simply isn't true.

Dual-core CPUs most certainly have their advantages and when it's better supported well much for much better performance overall but at the moment, there isn't much difference that I've seen between my single-core device and a dual-core device. Everything loads up just as fast. But... once you get a custom ROM like Oxygen or Bugless Beast on there with let's say the franco.Kenel it's a beast and it's fast! I got 2800 on Quad with 1.3ghz overclock and 110 LiveOC. Plus we also have Ezekeel who makes some amazing mods like deep idle, and liveOC.

All I can say is if you get a Nexus S, you won't be disappointed. Are ICS ROMs are the most stable out right now as well but still no where near as fast as Gingerbread, but worth a try if you want.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Off topic, but I'm glad to see we have another kernel dev in morfic. Hope to see your CM7 kernel soon. :D
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
Do you think I'd be better off keeping the sensation and waiting until around the summer of next year when the Galaxy nexus is a bit cheaper? Or is the nexus s so much better than the sensation that it would be worth just going for it now?
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
I'll say this, I went back to my Nexus S from the Sensation and used my Nexus S for about 2 months until the Galaxy Nexus came out. I didn't miss the Sensation one bit. The Nexus S runs better than the Sensation IMO. Don't let the single core thing scare you, it's a very capable phone. Not to mention it will have official Ice Cream Sandwich very soon, whereas there's no telling when it will come along for the Sensation. I'd recommend the Nexus S over the Sensation. I will warn you though that, vanilla android (on the Nexus S) will need a bit more customization than you had to do on the Sensation. That of course will change on Ice Cream Sandwich however.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
Thanks for the advice. I've been running cm7 alpha so I know what to expect as far as customization is concerned.
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
To all the nexus owners who replied: how is the screen? Is the fact that it's a pentile display apparent? I'm a fan of the: pixel density of the sensation's screen.
[HTC Sensation] amd_203:
The screen is great and vibrant. The fact that it's pentile isn't apparent for me unless I literally put the phone up to my face. You'll see it mainly with white text like the clock in the upper right. But besides that the screen looks great, text is clear and voodoo sound + color makes things even better. With color you can tweak the screen to your liking.
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
Yes you can see the pentile effect if you hold the phone closely to your face. Overall the screen still looks better than that of the Sensation...ESPECIALLY the viewing angles (which are a bit subpar on the Sensation). The Sensation gets sharper text and can show more on the screen (due to higher resolution) but that's where it's screen advantages stop. The Sensation's screen is a lot more washed out looking, the viewing angles need improvement, the contrast is poor (there's no such thing as black on the sensation...just dark grey). The Nexus S on the other hand has great contrast (perfect blacks), excellent viewing angles, and vibrant colors. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you can, go into a Sprint store and take a look at one of their Nexus S displays. That will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

[HTC Sensation] kooskoos1814:
I'm seriously thinking of that too...

The Nexus S is an incredible phone !
[HTC Sensation] billobob:
Honestly, it sounds like you're mostly mad you bought a phone with Sense and don't have perfect cyanogenmod support. What did you expect?

As for the screen, I had an S on sprint and the sensation screen blows it out of the water. The camera on the sensation is better (even on the CM7 alpha) and running CM it does seem to be a bit faster for me, as I'm someone who uses a decent number of widgets. The Nexus S destroyed it in battery life though, although I've gotten much better battery life in the brief time I've used trips ICS.

The fact is that these days Samsung phones get better CM support because they tend to release fewer major phones than HTC (e.g. x variants of the SII vs Sensation, Amaze, Incredible S, MT4G, etc etc.). It's hard work for devs when HTC has so many phones that are all just different enough to require a decent amount of work to run AOSP roms. That said, the CM7 alphas are quite good aside from browser force closes (which mostly went away when I applied a flash fix listed on here).

Hello.

I'm using stock 2.3.5 and would like to get access to some network shares on my home network.

When CIFSManager try to mount a network share it returns error: "out of memory"

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thank you.

I just flashed Virtuous Affinty from Unity and for some reason my sense for facebook is not on my account listing. I checked my apps to see if it is installed and it is. Anyone have a suggestion?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
Try viewing a contact card... I believe there you will see the facebook info that is linked to sense
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_hunter:
With Sense 3.5 (which Virtuous Affinity sports), Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense have been merged together. When you log into Facebook, you log into Facebook for HTC Sense.

That it does. If it was like $100-200 off without a contract, I'd be interested.
[Member-Found Deals] Gnoop:
Isn't this basically the same deal they ran for Black Friday?

Plus, yes, the 2yr contract is a deal killer.
[Member-Found Deals] abowlby:
Sorry man, ill never over expose a deal again.
[Member-Found Deals] Gnoop:
I wasn't referring to you. It was more the lack of originality from Verizon :D
[Member-Found Deals] abowlby:
Haha, yeah the only thing better is Apples $.14 off Black Friday "deal you've been waiting for all year deal."
