Mostly home button for me.

In ICS, when you press the multitask button. Does swiping away an app also kill it?
[Android General] Zappescu:
I personally use the home and back button at the same rate.

In my online app I've seen a lot of people using the home button instead of the back one. I would tell 85% home and 15% back.
[Android General] garychencool:
I spam the back button until the app closes
[Android General] crazycatlady:
When I check my recent apps list in ics against the running apps, it doesn't seem like they keep running just because they're in that list under the multitask button. Seems more like the list is a shortcut to recently used apps. Swiping them away seems to only remove them from the list.

Yes it does. There was a thread on a guy confirming it... If I find it I'll link it. Rest assured knowing your tasks are killed! (You can check the manage tab in your settings for further proof) :)

@ crazycatlady --- Nono they close the process. Just checked by opening the Camera, Gallery, and Messaging app. They were running, then I swiped them and they disappeared under the "running" tab.
[Android General] crazycatlady:
I see. None of the apps in my list were still running, but it was a while since I'd used them. Seems like the system kills apps itself after some undefined amount of time??? Swiping them did however kill the ones I had opened recently...the apps at least, but not the processes supporting them, such as email. Guess that should be running anyways.

[Android General] 309041291a:
Apps don't kill themselves using undefined times. They were cleared because your phone needed the extra RAM and the apps were no longer required to run. Androids good with their process management like that. And yeah most system services will remain running cause hey have to :P
[Android General] MysticMi:
depends on the app but i do use it.
[Android General] galaxytab1:
One has to use home key in apps like browser, back key just loads previous pages, how long can you go pressing back? (yeah, some of you spam i saw that)
[Android General] HenryJe:
i use both of them, it's depend on your purposes, are you really thinking that using the home button can break your phone, lol
[Android General] ardy:
I tend to use both, the home and back buttons.
[Android General] phxshadow:
only use when i am copy and paste to other apps. or when back button does not work.
[Android General] maktama:
Depends on app. But usually use the home button(except the 3d games).
[Android General] Pentocrator:
As my device (moto atrix) has enough RAM to keep in memory most of my application, I use to display the homescreen by pressing the home button, so I guess it's the button I use the most.
[Android General] Vermaat:
I use it alot, I try to use the back button but something in me makes me press the bigger button (:
[Android General] Dorpse:
Exactly how I use my home and back button. (:
[Android General] yash_p90:
i use the back button more than the home button
[Android General] holgalee:
For me, the back button is used to exit an app, and long-press of the home button to recall the most recently launched apps. I also used the home button when an app seems to have hung.

I need both buttons and get antsy when there are no back buttons (fruit gadgets) or home buttons (Samsung tablets)!
[Android General] nebregg:
For closing apps, it's a faster way for me.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Hi, I'm planning on purchasing an HTC Sensation now that I've gotten rid of my iPhone 4.

I do have some issues regarding the purchase. I've seen threads commenting on dust collecting under screen and a poor battery life. Are these issues common on the phone? And if they are, is it possible to clean out the screen when the issue occurs? I've heard about a 1900mAh battery so I guess that's a better fix for the battery.

I'm on a T-Mobile family plan with no data plan. If I purchase an unlocked Sensation, will T-Mobile automatically add a data plan to my line? This happened to me when I used my iPhone 4 I got as a present on my AT&T line.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] aLlamaWithARifle:
Not had my phone for all that long so I can't comment on the dust under the screen issue yet. But for battery life there are a few things that can be done, if you root your phone you can get SetCPU and underclock your phone when it's screen is off to extend the battery life or get Juice Defender, which disables wifi and data when the screen is off but turns them back on every 15 minutes to allow it to sync and will then turn them off again to save battery.

But even without a rooted phone, although the battery life certainly isn't good it will just about get you through a long day. But obviously you can also get a 19000mAh battery or even a further extended one as well as an external battery that can charge your phone up providing you don't mind carrying one around.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Also, can the Sensation play flash videos natively? I've heard some mixed claims regarding that.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
I have had the Sensation for quite some time now and I don't have one spec of dust under my screen. And battery life is good. It last me through the day but I bought the Anker 1900mAh battery because it is so cheap and so amazing lol.

I would recommend the Sensation to anyone.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Anker 10,000 maH battery......

I purchased the Anker 10,000 maH battery. I had to...... I use my phone all day long. So I really don't turn on my main computer everyday. Especially since I installed a terminal emulator on my Sense. Now I can correct code, and scripts on the fly. :eek: I can re-charge my phone 5 times with this brick. Fits in my shirt pocket, and it takes an hour from 10% battery to 100%. Not bad.....
[HTC Sensation] swoope:
wow,

douche early?

to the op. just swap out the sim card and dont change a thing.. you will be fine.

picked up mine slightly used. no issues.. am running the 1900 battery.

great phone..

beers
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I have an XE, great screen, no dust and good battery life.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Dust under the screen is a common issue, but it's only a lot more common than it should be - the number of Sensations affected is still a very low amount. The safest way to take care of it is to go through T-Mo or HTC and they'll clean it out. Trying to do it yourself will definitely void the warranty cause you'll have to dismantle the phone.

Battery can be terrible, but a chichitec, anker, or mugen 1900mAh battery along with a good rom/kernel/clockspeed combo fixes that. I'm on Android HD 3.x gingerbread with the stock kernel, clocked at 1.5Ghz when the screen is on, 768Mhz when it's off, heavy user and I can make it through the day. The other thing to consider is how you use the phone. The Super-LCD looks crazy crisp, and it is, sunlight visibility is great and color reproduction is nice - although it's no SAMOLED. Here's the problem though, it's a mega power drainer. If you listen to a lot of music on your phone or maybe stream Pandora comedy, you shouldn't have any issues. If you're an all-day facebooker or constantly texting/emailing, that screen will destroy your battery and I couldn't recommend the phone, as much as I love it :( Don't get me wrong, you could do it, but you'll probably need a spare battery or a charger with you.

With the 1900mAh battery, I can have the screen on constantly and texting/emailing/browsing for about 3 hours straight. If I keep the screen on and play games, 2 and a half hours. Not much difference even though one is a lot more intensive than the other. The S-LCD panel is a huge battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I haven't had any problems with dust under the screen.

Battery life great for the amount of time i use the phone everyday (screenshot attached).

If you're up for it i'd suggest you flash a custom ROM to use the full potential of the phone. Personally i like Android Revolution HD, but it's all down to personal preference. Try a few different ones and use what you like the most.
[HTC Sensation] slovoflud:
Hi guys!

First things first:

Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm thinking of an upgrade (from HTC Vision & iPhone 4S) and looking at Sensation as an option and I've got a few questions regarding that.

My main concern is it not to late to jump to a Sensation? are there good developers still around? I remember RMK jumped from G2 to sensation, and he's still here, how about others? Any rumors or plans to abandon Sensation? I'd imagine alot of them getting the new GN, I can't really be bothered, rather have an option between Sense and AOSP.

My other question would be is the hardware acceleration fully functional on current ICS roms?
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
I'm running RVHD 5.02 and its still running at 1.2 GHz.. I haven't figured out why. I'm running super tuner, and setcpu. It's running quick, but not at the advertised speed.
[HTC Sensation] slovoflud:
uh, sorry I wasn't clear enough - I meant Video acceleration
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
It's "there" but it doesn't run very well. Barely feels like its on. Just wait a month or two, and stable ICS will be released.
[HTC Sensation] slovoflud:
thanks!

what abouts this?

any thoughts?

My main concern is it not to late to jump to a Sensation? are there good developers still around?
[HTC Sensation] aspot72:
Despite having GNexus I would recommend the HTC Sensation. Had it before gnex and it's very good phone. Had two small issues :

1) battery under heavy use drain fast :( - bigger battery recommended.

2) random ringtone/notification change (this could be related to 2.08.401.1 ROM, which isn't officially released, but is a test ROM).

Other than this is VERY good device and won't let you down.
[HTC Sensation] slovoflud:
Thanks!

on a side note, what's so disappointing with GNexus?
[HTC Sensation] aspot72:
Disappointing? Nothing :D . Only issue I had, was the "volume ghost", but after flashing 4.0.2 all OK. It's different device and as I was hard addict to Sense, I'm surprised how quickly get used to GNex. Love it :D
[HTC Sensation] cgxygd:
i have no dust on my screen yet. i buy it 3 month ago.

ps:i come from China.hah
[HTC Sensation] gamezone94:
The dust problem is annoying, but it's no problem to get a new phone when the first one has dust under the screen. The Akku is okey for one day full use, when you load it every night. When you need better akku there are good ones with 1900mAh, on Amazon Germany for example the one by Anker.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Thanks for the input everybody!

Regarding the data plan. I currently have a family plan with no data. When I purchase my Sensation on ebay or any other auction site, and then use my T-Mobile sim, will I automatically be added a data plan?
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
Not automatically. You'll have to add a data plan in order to use the data services provided by T-Mobile. You can use local wireless in the mean time, but not having a real data plan severely limits the capabilities of the device.
[HTC Sensation] tatico28:
With all the development going on with the sensation and the hardware involved, there is no need for a GN (in my opinion) ; and when you get a taste of ICS, there's no turning back :D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lazcoreaedu:
I just got mine and was wondering is it worth rooting becausr stock is already fast and stable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danielblakes:
It's always worth rooting.

Right now, the performance increase isn't the biggest reason, because this phone can handle anything we through at it with ease.

The root_only features, however, definitely are.

Backups, tethering, painless restores, themes, ad hoc wifi, and all the other goodies that custom Roms provide really make a big difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Diekrupt:
You really should check out the juggernaut rom and also faux123 kernal. I can't express how much faster the sg2 runs and no stuttering or lag. The phone also has much better battery life it's really amazing. Also no spying carrier iq, no bloatware etc. you can free wifi tether. You can over clock or under clock. My phone has never worked so good.

Definitely recommend the following:

Load cwm recovery

Install latest juggernaut rom 4.1

Install latest faux123 kernal

Not required but also install latest modem kl1

If you do then install swype beta keyboard

I use go launcher highly recommended.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
DOOOOOOOOOO it!!!! You'll love your phone twice as much. There are some awesome themes and roms. You can make it even smoother than it is. Go to dev section after and try gingersnap with either kernel. Smooth as butter
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] inpherknow:
How do you install the modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GBGamer:
Why install the modem? Also, I think you should try Launcher 7, made myself use it for a few days, and I love it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
That's a tough question mate. There really is no best. Its a matter of figuring out what you want and what roms do that the best. I recommend trying them all. Personally I'm a cyanogenmod fanboi and I try to run it on pretty much everything I own.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HRodMusic:
main reason u should root and install a custom rom is BATTERY LIFE! lol u more than double your battery life, get all the bloat out of your phone, CIQ etc, plus you do get a performance increase, and its more stable than stock.. hands down best thing you could ever do to your phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
I am having trouble believeing it, but it's true. I JUST got off with a supervisor at ABES:

Just got off my THIRD call with Dishonest ABE.

They don't have a SINGLE KEYBOARD DOCK IN THEIR WAREHOUSE OF EITHER COLOR!!! I don't know about tablets, but I had:

Call 1: "Processing" should be all set

Call 2: "Uh, we ill have them in 4-6 days, should go out Tuesday Wednesday of last week" - This was where I get REALLY concerned.....

Call 3: - Supervisor: The guy TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE THEM, but it fell through, and we don't know WHEN we are going to have them."

"Then why did you put "AVAILABLE" on your site, instead of Coming soon, pre-order - 4-6 days, etc..."

"Cause he said.... " I was like oh **** YOU I am so sick of these BS lies. You put AVAILABLE when you HAVE THEM... NOT BEFORE ****head!!!

It's BS. They either have NONE or got a few and freaking oversold just like Amazon, Best Buy and the rest of the free world. Is Asus distribution channel run by insane asylum escapees or WHAT????? The one common element here os ASUS. Certainly all of these retailers didn't go eveil overnight or something (though some ALWAYS were, BestBuy)

I am LIVID... Now out comes my poison email to ANOTHER CEO AND CORPORATE OFFICES... WHY must I go through this

The rude **** ended with, so: I'm gonna cancel your order anyway, even if you tell me not to (I said, you want to repeat that for my recording, I want to make sure it's clearly heard.

Sorry, I double posted, but wanted to help stop people from ordering here. We have had enough of ths from the rest of the channel, no need to stay bent over for more... MAN!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Same here. About a week, they said. Cancel, I said. Bastids.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Wish I'd seen this before I ordered.

I just got off the phone with these liars. I told him the order page is back to saying 2-3 days, he apologized for the misinformation said it'd be about 1-2 weeks.

Think I'm going to find another source and cancel on these vermin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
As far as I can tell no merchant has them in-stock right now so it's really ASUS who's slow on the delivery of these. They obviously weren't shipping keyboards in conjunction with the tablets.

My order status changed to "sent to warehouse" last night. Having no idea what that means, I called, and was told that they have it, it is being prepped to ship today, will be sent tomorrow AM, and I should have my dock on Wednesday.

Sorry some of you got shafted, but they do/did have some in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DowntownRDB:
Now says:

Availability: Available in 8-12 Days
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
my order status still says 'In Process', ordered early in the morning last Friday back when the Availability said "In Stock".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Fwiw, I ordered Thursday, immediately after seeing the "in stock" thread. That is likely the difference. I do not understand this manager saying it is not there though, uless he meant that it is coming in today, and the OP's place in line didn't make the cut for place in line versus items received. The swearing probably didn't help either, even though I fully empathize on the frustration level. :-\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kohawk09:
Just got an email that the orders exceeded their shipment... Awesome. Ive cancelled and gone with amazon. I guess it will get here when it gets here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Just got the email too.

Don't know where to go from here. No body had any in-stock last I checked. Gamestop had no date, and neither did Amazon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Like a few others, I ordered late Thurs night when the status was "available ". My credit card was charged Friday, I was notified it was "in process" for 1-3 days, now today my status shows "shipped to warehouse ". I am confident in will get mine in a day or two. Am I pleased I paid $40 for express shipping and it's going to take 4 or 5 business days? No. But I think did not read where it clearly states it cn take 1-3 days to process so that is on me.

I'm sorry for those of you who ordered when it said "available " and aren't getting yours. I blame their stock tracking/ordering software more than the company being "dishonest ", I really doubt they tried to intentionally screw anyone. They actually seem like one of the few able to make deliver and are being up front about when they will get future stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Hate to tell ya, I ordered exactly at 9:10 pm est, Abe's website stated it was Available when I placed my order.

I just got two emails saying they oversold over the weekend. I couldn't give a **** about what they did over the weekend, I ALSO ordered asap on Thursday night.

Its looksto be ANO GO even if you ordered Thursday evening. Sorry....lol

What is the status of your order, was your cc charged, did/does it show as shipped to warehouse?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mongocain:
I bought my pad off of newegg.com last thursday. They have been showing up periodically, only when they actually have stock availible. In most states they don't charge sales tax and they ship very quick. I'm seeing only the grey docking station listed on their site at the moment but it is out of stock. All you can do is keep checking periodically as they will show up but sell really fast. But at least if you see it's in stock and buy it, you'll get it. This is one of the most reputable sites on the net.

No idea, I just called them and told Mike ( I guess...ext. 2 from the email) I wanted to cancel...

Abes ...what's your order number

Me....give him order number

Abes....hold (6 minutes)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No "oversold" email yet and it shows shipped to warehouse.

It's not like I'm out anything if it does cancel - I've not seen any others available or I would have ordered more for friends/backup anyway. If it gets canceled I get my money back and continue the search and wait. If I'd ordered the damn Grey to begin with this wouldn't be a problem, I would have both from BB, but I ordered champagne.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
don't cancel, you probably are going to get it.

I never seen the "shipped to warehouse" status, I only got "In Process" when I ordered.

I'm not canceling mine either despite receiving the two emails that they oversold. In part because he still gave an end time of when they will get more in, while the other online retailer don't provide any info when they will get more in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
perhaps us over here in Blighty are not so hard done by after all!! Whilst we are yet to get the TFP we will get it with the dock and our retailers do not normally tale 2-3 days to process an order as we can order of some sites up until 8-10pm and still get next day delivery.

Now I am seeing the positives of living on a "small island" as Bill Bryson would say.

ps by the time we get ours; ICS will allready be installed and we will be looking forward to jammy dodgers, jam roly poly or Javvarisi Avul Payasam :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Underwater Mike:
I NEVER order from Abe's. I almost bought a very high-end dSLR from them a few years ago, until they started with backorder BS and trying to upsell me on junk accessories. I go with Amazon, Newegg and (for photo gear not stocked by Amazon) B&H.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oakvnl:
I ordered 12/29 for the dock and 64gb tablet. Dock was showing available, and tablet showing 2-3 days then.

I got an email today saying it was oversold over the weekend. I ordered it before the weekend. Oh wells. I cancel dock and tablet, since Amazon is shipping my dock out before the ETA which was Jan 25, but now Jan 4th. Tablet, 64gb, Gray is still showing Jan 25. Abes told me their ETA is 2 weeks, unsure since is it is called "ETA" That is great that some of you guys got a shipping to warehouse. All I ever got was in process. And again, we wait... Everybody and their momma wants one, darn! I hope some more ppl cancel their amazon order to move my order up, :D Even though I have an order with Expansy and fry's. Does anyone know if amazon charge taxes?? My frys order charges taxes, and its a lot!! Im so tempted to cancel that order.
