[HTC Sensation] stratax:
agreed, and i dont even have any issue with the power button after i installed insertcoid. and the camera still flys past any moto device :p

also people look at the price difference. the GSII goes for like $400 on CL and the sensation you can get for about $250. and the only better thing the GSII has is camera(s), RAM. thats ALL. really, you people are going to pay that much more for these upgrades? lol its not even that much more RAM, with ICS it will run so much smoother and wont need as much RAM. so its rather pointless

and may i add, samsung has horrid customer support while HTC has had a record for GREAT support. if you have a defect/issue your phone will be replaced asap. after my behold 2 im never touching samsung again (phone wise). and you all samsung fanboys should look at the thread about the battery exlosion in the SGSII. :)
[HTC Sensation] yacbos:
1- what good is an android phone if you wont flash it ? right, custom roms, personalization, kernels, OC.... all these great try outs

2- battery is a major issue on all current smart phones (android, ios, even BB)

3- you still can buy a custom made battery (Mugen or Anker..)

4- just from the outside finish i would buy an HTC over any samsung phone for its built quality and finish

5- if you hate HTC that much go buy an iphone (apple are control freaks so it will be like buying your own phone and they would tell you what to do with it maybe that will help you ;) )

well you can still change batteries and delete the batterystats.bin :D and recalibrate each time lol if you have that much time ;)

[HTC Sensation] scstryfe:
I feel lucky, too. Not experienced any of those problems mentioned at the beginning of this post. I like the build and design of the Sensation and can only see ICS improving it. I'm looking forward to the official and custom ICS ROM's that are soon to come!
[HTC Sensation] 2FR35H:
Tsk tsk

My sensation is the best phone I have ever owned the build quality in regards to the toughness of the device is amazing. I have ran my sensation over a while ago by accident when I looked at it there was a dirt tire mark on the screen protector the actual screen still remained unharmed though the camera lens cover shatter but still worked flawlessly I do however hate the poor performing speaker only true problem for me aside from lockscreen malfunction everything else it performs better than my sky4g did better than my nexus s did in certain areas
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
Complainthreads are getting really annoying. Sell the damn phone and buy an iPhone instead. No one cares.
[HTC Sensation] monkeytown:
well, i don´t think ics will remove the "dust under display"-issue or improve the speaker or increase the ram or increase the storage.....so who cares?

so the only things that keep me from buying this boy are all hardwarewise :confused:

little scared of all the "issue this, issue that" threads
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
U still fail to understand what I mean. Of course I knew my Sensation would be outdated by the time ICS arrives. If u're gonna wait for better tech u're gonna wait forever, and I already waited 3 months for the Sensation to arrive instead of getting a Desire HD. I just want them to make the most of the technology inside of it which is not the case here.

What I was trying to say is this: The Sensation could be a nice phone if HTC devoted more resources to it's Software/driver developement. My hope is that ICS will magically transform it into a pocketrocket. However, seeing how HTC even now seems to forgo Sensation development in favor of newer models I am doubtful if they will really put enough effort into making the phone use all it's potential with ICS. With 2.3.3 the phone was unusable, dead after 12h slight use and always getting hot. 2.3.4 Improved things A LOT. Still not perfect, so I was hoping for further software improvements that don't seem to come anymore and to be honest, the devs here can do only so much if HTC isn't provding proper original drivers.

Anyways it seems I am alone with my concerns and issues, which is fine. People get way too worked up in this thread. If me complaining about problems that, apparently, not all but many do have/notice, angers you so much, why do you even read and post here? AFAIK I am allowed to speak my mind and exchange experiences with whomever I wish and I force no one to come and read here. If you love your phone so much you have to go trolling on people who don't, go make love with it all night, but don't get aroused over ppl who don't have a sexual relationship with their phones.

I hoped we could discuss what ICS could possibly improve as there certainly is room for improvement. Instead 90% of posts is like "Go sell your phone you whiner". :rolleyes: Not cool.

I'm sure Putin said something simillar to Medjedew after watching all the Russian protestants on the streets.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I have no dust under my screen, storage is enough with a 32gb card and Ram could be more but honestly I have newer experienced problems/conflicts because of too little Ram (always more than 100mb fee/unused).

My only issue is the sub-par overall performance which I think is due to poor software design from HTC.

Also, the power button will ultimately go faulty after few months. HTC fixes it with a software workaround in the kernel, but only HTCs and show-p's kernel have the fix. U will still have it in CWM or AOSP Roms/kernels.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
I had the same problem with my stock battery so i decided to get Anker one (1900 mAh)as you all know 1520 mAh is not good enough , i was rather surprised to find out that readings are similar e.g. " 37% left and after rebooting its magically up to 49% os something like that." It is something that doesent bother me enough, rather amuse me on daily bases. So something is fishy with my Sensation... But still i do HOPE that ICS will sort this problem out

In regard to tones, i find solution for it, Volumed_Tones_Sensation try it and you'll be amazed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287058&page=4
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
It's really sad how much people develop a gang mentality in order to censor opinions they don't want to see. I've seen this in many many forums where talking at all negatively about the product at hand is basically the third rail of the forum. It's like people think that if they collectively claim that a complainer is a troll, he is, no matter how legitimate his reasoning is and how sincere he is in desiring a discussion.

Let the guy speak, he's not the only one who feels this way (I think the sensation is a 7/10), and attempting to censor complaints just makes it seem like you were regretful about your purchase and are trying to hide that you feel the same way.
[HTC Sensation] razvanwin95:
I think ICS will make my sensation much faster. I can't understand ,why others people are thinking that sensation is a bad phone.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
I like my sensation,i just cant have ics without htc sense.ics by it`s self is ugly, i dont care how fast it is,it looks like it`s for kids those icons are **** ugly.
[HTC Sensation] :
Interesting, that's the first time I've heard that. Most, including myself, think Android 4.0 looks great and has a clean, upgraded UI. The name is childish though, so I'll keep calling it Android 4.0.
[HTC Sensation] Euler MD:
Meh

I don't know about you, but I run CM7. Its pretty decent and fast. When I originally got the phone, I wanted to get a Galaxy SII, but in all honesty, its just speeds. In a few months, a phone faster than the Galaxy SII is going to come out, and an even faster one after that. The HTC Sensation is a good phone, but HTC doesn't bother to polish its OS so it works in sync with their phones.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
I like My sensation very much. I still think it is the best phone out there. Yes, there are other phones with better specs, but I find them ugly. I never considered the sensation as slow, laggy or buggy. Other than the dust under the screen, I have no complaints. I am liking the htc edge design and spec though, but not too sure about the size just yet.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Just voted thread 5* just to make up on injustice. C'mon guys, OP was only stating his opinion. Don't act like kids, it's his opinion, and it's a right one for HIM.
[HTC Sensation] :
I voted it 1 to offset that. Sure, he was stating his grievances, but he did so in a long, drawn out douchey way. He said our Sensations have sluggish performance. Sluggish? Seriously? That new LG Nitro HD is sluggish. The G1 is sluggish. The Sensation? A bit of lag every now and then. So OP feels he should take that and exaggerate it negatively in a forum literally full of Sensation lovers. Not a good idea.

Same for his battery jumping issues. That's caused by users improperly charging their batteries. That's his fault.

This pisses me off a lot. Just because it lacks some features like burst shot (as the OP stated), it's suddenly less than decent? Take away 50% of it's features and it's still "decent". Plus, as the OP said, you can easily install a different camera apk and fix the issue entirely, so now the OP is just *****ing to *****.

Oh, and the last issue I feel like typing out, calling it half-baked. Seriously? It has a few issues for a few people, and we're gonna call it half-baked? Please. I have no issues with this phone, and I run AOSP. It's fast, graphically appealing, and I've had none of the OPs issues. Even when I go back to any of our awesome developers' Sense roms, it's smooth and fast. No issues, whatsoever, yet it's "half-baked". Just, no.
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Trip just posted the stablest ICS build. Alpha 007, next 2 builds are gonna be BETAs followed by a RC. If you really wanna check out how ICS is gonna be like, flash Trip's ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
maybe? however, I love ICS camera settings + effects. However, I don't know what will happen with abdobe flash and battery life :(
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
"This pisses me off a lot." Really? I mean srsly, you get pissed off by someone u don't know saying something on the internet about a phone you own?

I just had to double check I'm not in the Apple Fanyboys thread, but it still says "HTC Sensation > Sensation General" on top.

Oh well you made my day bro :D Have a nice one!

@ arzbhatia: Thanks, I might give it a shot! However, this probably still uses the same old Firmware/Hardware drivers just with a nicer OS on top. Dunno how much improvement there will be
[HTC Sensation] :
Not really pissed off, no. But enough to click twice to rate this thread one star, yeah.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I totally agree with you(OP)! I also was a HTC fanboy, but when I had the choice to buy either the sensation or the SG2 even tho they said that the sg2 was better. I bought the sensation, and what a surprise I got.

It is rubish! I mean it seems that HTC wanted to make some plane easy money, because the Sensation is great in a few weeks, but after that it just goes down. The issues with the sensation is just massive! And the worst part is that it seems that HTC doesn't give a S*** about it. But what I did was, sending my phone back, luckily the power button issue is gone now, but for how long?

I also agree with you that HTC is too busy being one of the BIG companies that produces many good phones. But the only thing they have done is, make many phones that just plane rubbish. I am not sure, but the sound issue, when you record with the sensation is still even in the newest HTC phone (the rezound). AND only that makes me want to HTC in the balls, I mean honestly, It's okay to make a mistake, but not even listening to the costumers and made the sound better is just plane dumb.

What HTC have done is lost a fanboy, and I am sorry, but this phone is just so wrong. The only good thing about it is the build quality, but also that have it's issues. The wears out fast! I got that casemate on, and what it have done is wear out some edges on my phones original case.

I even fell sorry for my parents spending those money on my birthday present, but I am gonna keep it and hope for HTC to do something about it. I am gonna wait for the SG3, I hope it is well worth the wait.

But for now I can say that this is my very last phone from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] stewarta13wsb:
OK for me

I'm really sorry for those of you have have had these issues, but for me, all I can say is that since I ditched years of Sony Ericson for my first HTC, the Desire, moved up to the Desire HD and now have a Sensation XE all I have experienced are well built, reliable, fast, efficient phones. Solid, quality phones with great specs.... and not a single issue :)
[HTC Sensation] down4life:
Dont know is this cf bench reliable, but here is some ss minute ago :)

btw, its sensation :)
[HTC Sensation] kooskoos1814:

btw, to be misunderstood, just wanted to share result with people.
[HTC Sensation] flamechamp:
If you have such problems, some of them are not sensation's fault, so don't judge it carelessly like that. ICS won't bring fix to hardware issue for sure, but sluggish performance can be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
If we have different phones?
[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
I love the ICS port on my Sensation. The stock ICS desktop is awesome. I hate sense and always use a desktop replacement, but with ICS, it reminds me of how i set up my desktop on the replacement. So, yes i think ICS improves our Sensation's.
[HTC Sensation] ySchaub:
link to ICS port pls!

[HTC Sensation] alyoder:
When did you buy your phone? As someone who bought a few months after release, I have a grand total of zero of the problems you describe (the volume issue may just be because its not an issue for me personally, though)

In fact, though I need to update my signature, I actually went back to stock because it performs SO well without any bugs introduced by custom development. Even at default cpu speed, it runs fantastic.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Very well said mate. People value different things but god beware if your opinion is different then that of some... haters gonna hate, that's about it. Imagine we people with problems would invade their threads and spit on all owners who describe how happy they actually are with the device :rolleyes:

Other than that, a friend from my band has the same phone and is on stock. He has it for 4 months now and no power button issues at all. I Guess around 1/3 of these phones are lemons in SOME way, be it dust under screen, power button or whatever.

I will now return my device for repair and hope they will replace it. It's actually just the power button thing but I will also tell them I have touchscreen issues (they are gone now but still...). Seeing that most XE users are happy my hope is that with recently produced models they fixed at least some flaws. Well and the performance thing, I guess it's the same for all units and if anythign canfix that at all, its ICS.

Oh and I'll sure try the ICS port, thx for input on that.
[HTC Sensation] ish05:
I hate the load speaker

It needs a better loud speaker. I would like it to take pictures as fast as the iphone. But My girl and I love the camera quality.
[Fascinate General] JJ5150:
So anyway, I'm after what everyone's after, and I've been following this link on GeeWiz 2.3 ROM.

Not too bad if you like close to stock options... but, I needed more.

Decided to go back to Stock Froyo ED05 Unrooted, and start over.

(I'm looking for the Froyo look and feel in Gingerbread.)

ODIN This: CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5

Then I decided to check updates through Verizon. There was a 2.3.5 update, so I downloaded and installed.

Then I went back and grabbed the KGB Kernal from the above post.

Now this sucker FLYS!!!.

1st Bench ran 2040.

2nd Bench ran 2334

3rd Bench ran 2430

4th Bench ran 2433

5th Bench ran 2433 (in Quadrant Standard)

Awesome!!!

I know have the status bar from Froyo, and the Speed of any Rom out there.

This shot is BEFORE Tytanium Backup to remove bloatware... I'm impressed!

Just Braggin' :D
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Hmmmm... A custom kernel on a Verizon OTA stock ROM, all for the purpose of bragging about a high Quadrant score... Our favorite Uberdev would be proud :D

I've been following tons of threads on these forums... to which are THE BEST... and I've been flashing the hell out of my phone since I got it. I've tried every ROM that would run on my phone. I'm kinda happy now that I've got what I want...

... didn't mean to show my n00bness for all to see. :o

If anything, I was hoping to show the dev's that this worked for me, and/or what I'm looking for in a ROM.

Plus huge props to the dudes that made the Kernel right!!!

So yeah... just call me n00b if yaz want... but I'm not a troll. I don't start fights, and sry if this post looks like that.

ok... i'll go hide in shame now.

[Fascinate General] JJ5150:
I was wondering how I can make a downloadable ROM out of the setup I have? I've searched but nothing... I'm even wondering if it's worth doing that for the devs?

It's definitely gingerbread, but some how it allowed me to keep the froyo stock battery icon, which is what I wanted from the get...

The only alternative to that it seems is either an app or run CM7 which doesn't like my phone... or I don't like it.. i forget which
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
2.4? I see no 2.4 anything here.. :(

This thread is covered in sad sauce. You're running 1ghz. You're phone sooooo slow... I bet it has no voodoo doll inside. Without little voodoo doll, within a week your phone shall screech to a halt.. :(
[Fascinate General] JJ5150:
just a Bench dude... i'm sure it's not actually going to run that fast. But I thought the Kernel has voodoo. Since i'm a n00b I couldn't tell ya, but I have voodoo in my root directory from previous ROMs... ok.. that sounded so n00b.

I'm running at 1300/400 pretty smoothly... no glitches or freezes yet.

I'll take any suggestions... that's why I'm here... TO LEARN!!!
[Fascinate General] JJ5150:
BTW... Rooting with SuperOneClick 2.3 didn't work.

So I put Superuser.zip on sdcard and Odin'd CWM recovery, and rooted thru SU.zip.

[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
You are just running stock eh03 with KGB kernel..

Both of which are available easily to everyone in development section

Root is easy with adb method posted in the eh03 Odin thread or flashing a rooted rom
[Fascinate General] JJ5150:
Yeah... I didn't think it would be too important... I was just wondering if it would help at all.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
I know it was a bench.. But why did you put "2.4ghz" ? g means giga or 1 billion, and hz is a unit of frequency

However, you scored a couple thousand "score" on a benchmark

Just stating that those are like 2 completely separate things

Anywho..... I have scores of 3300 on that benchmark while overclocked to 1.7ghz

And there is a super dev on the fascinate named.... Well... I should not have to say it.. Everyone knows him.. anyway, his super fascinate gets 10,000 on that benchmark. And he's gonna post his work in 4/3 days, right after he finishes his packets.... If he don't forget that he wrote that uber code before that estimated time frame i started above...

Good day

Hey man... The super dev i referred. Is really just someone who steals work and calls it his own. Song with a lot of other dumb things. He posts work with no links, no source, and no credit to others. He makes ridiculous claims with no proof and no results. He don't take advice or constrictive criticism. So now he gets trolled hard. And we all get Lulz. When you posted this thread everyone was in troll mode from all the laughs and comments from his thread and we spilled over here a little. It was nothing personal, just good fun. But it probably is not Tue best way to welcome someone new who is not up to speed on the recent trollish ways here..

So now with all jokes aside. Read the stickies and don't be afraid to ask for help. Just have a semi educated question or the troll may show up lol.. welcome to the fascinate :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
After all the awesome help from devs and users here, I've figured out the process of rooting my m250s. Now, I HATE touchwiz, so I decided to try and load a ROM that I could enjoy to get away from the stock ROM.

My problem is that when I loaded a new ROM (in this case it was MIUI latest GS2 ROM), I lose all data (let me rephrase, I lose all mobile network data, wifi still works). It shows full bars for phone calls, but the actual data connection is gone. When I go into the about phone section it shows baseband as M250S.EI21, which isn't wrong (although the latest baseband should be EJ04).

Does anyone know of a way to fix the data connection so I can still connect to the data towers but use a I9100 ROM (instead of having to modify the ROMs every time I install one, which I have no idea how to do)?

Thanks for your help guys, so far I've been very happy with all the resources XDA is providing, especially for a korean device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyre31:
i'm not sure about this but since your baseband is still saying m250s i'm guessing you haven't changed your kernel yet. try installing an miui compatible kernel(i suggest siyah) then try connecting again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
If hate for Touchwiz is your reason to install ROM, why dont you try custom Launchers instead of installing a whole new ROM? There are very good launchers like Go Launcher EX, AW Launcher, Launcher Pro etc. Try them, once you get bored of these launchers, go for ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
Good point, but I really like the interface of MIUI. If I can't get this to work then I will probably go ahead and resort to different launchers and try to find other things to use instead. Thanks.

I will try that now, once I find it. Thanks.
