[HTC Sensation] lu1gj3s:
I have had the phone since the end of December and I am very pleased with it.

To answer your questions:

1. I like the beats audio, I also have a HP TouchPad and you can tell the difference. Although the quality of your music should be at a good standard (i.e. 320 kbps).

To be honest, I think the headphones that come with it are very nice, but they are no different than my old Sony Ericsson headphones that came with the SE Walkman phone. I expected a microphone in the headphones to cancel noise, but instead it seems to be just the rubber things that you stuff in your ears that cancel noise, but I might be wrong.

2. Unfortunately I cannot answer this for you as I only have the iBeats.

3. I think the battery life is quite good compared to the iPhone 4 I had before this. I had to charge my iPhone 4 mid-day to last all day. With the Sensation XE it will comfortably last 16 hours.

As an indicator for usage:

- I have JuiceDefender installed, using the aggressive profile (this disables data connection when screen is locked and enables every 30 minutes);

- I text my wife throughout the day, we have a lot to talk about, so usually about 2 texts an hour;

- I use Kik Messenger often to chat with mates;

- I have a Facebook (every 1 hour) account, a gmail (push, every 30 mins due to JD) account and an exchange account (push, every 30 mins due to JD);

- I tend to play a game at work during lunch for about half an hour;

- Browse the internet here and there;

- When I get home, I diddle with my phone all night, android market, games, Kik etc.;

- When I go to bed at night I tend to watch a film (1 1/2 hour) or 2 millenium episodes (at 45 mins each);

- Then I turn it off and put on charge overnight usually with about 10% juice left.

During the week, I get up at 7 AM and I come home at 6/7 PM. I usually go to sleep at 11 PM.

Please note: reception in my house is rubbish (2 bars) and have no wi-fi at the moment, but will have it again at end of month. So data loads painfully slow and this also sucks the life out of the battery.

As a light usage example, last night I came home with 70% left. Awake time was about 3 hours, standby obviously 11/12 hours. I assume you can draw your conclusions from this, when the phone is idling the battery is fantastic and only seems to drain at about 1-2% an hour, when its awake (i.e. being used) the battery seems to drop at about 7-10% an hour for me at least.

At the moment its (with medium usage) 12:11 PM for me and battery has 80% left, so 5:11 on standby and 01:20 awake. pretty good :)

I myself went for the XE because of the headphones that came with it and also the larger battery.

Some people seem to go for the regular sensation and then flashing the XE rom onto it with an overclocked kernel and buying a better battery.

I hope this helps you to make your decision.

If you want to know anything else, please let me know.
[HTC Sensation] BeatsByMessi:
Thank you all so much for your views on this phone. I was originally 70% sure about getting this phone, just needed a few things clearing up but now after all your positive comments regarding this phone I think this is definitely the phone I'm going to get.

well I'm about 99% sure about getting this phone (obviously you never know what phones may be announced in the near future)

But again thank you for your replies, my decision has been made a lot easier :)
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Really? I can't tell the difference from my touchpad
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If I'm being 100% honest I wouldn't recommend the Sensation to anyone now I've got my Galaxy Nexus. I love HTC, have had 3 phones back to back until now, and still have my (currently bricked) Sensation but the GN just works and the battery lasts the day easily. I've not once had to worry about it running out.

With the same apps/usage as my Sensation I can go to bed on 60% battery whereas my Sensation would be <40%

HTC have their work cut out to climb back up the mobile ladder IMO
[HTC Sensation] alphaze:
I was gonna write pretty much this exact post. My Galaxy Nexus is much better at battery than my Sensation ever was, even with the extended battery. I would literally not touch it until noon. Between 8am and noon without use it would already be at 70%. No bueno. I loved HTC, but I need a phone that I can rely on.

Beats is just an EQ setting that you can't change...most people don't really notice either. I noticed it was more bass-y, but at the expense of the mids which to me isn't worth it.
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
Just a quick look at it. DONT LOAD THIS!

[YOUTUBE]wb24znzg2GM[/YOUTUBE]
[TouchPad General] L33t Masta:
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't load this. Other than wifi not working, you might as well if you want. It's super stable and fast as hell.
[TouchPad General] samleung:
Is it just me or is the launcher the one from the phone? I don't see the standard "honeycomb/tablet" style launcher besides the status bar.
[TouchPad General] L33t Masta:
When you tap on the time it brings up the tablet launcher with all the notifications and settings.
[TouchPad General] samleung:
Long pressing the homescreen doesn't bring up the overview and widget dragging utilities.

The app launcher is very reminiscent of the phone ICS builds.
[TouchPad General] L33t Masta:
Ah. I'm sorry. I misunderstood the feature you were talking about.
[TouchPad General] Realistpm:
you forgot to warn us to mute the video
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
Sorry. Originally, I wanted to avoid the chatter in my office so I did an audio swap. That was a horrible idea. I turned it off, but youtube is taking forever to remove it.
[TouchPad General] samleung:
No worries. Also note that there is a phone app in the build- this seems to be a mesh of the tablet ICS and phone ICS.
[TouchPad General] L33t Masta:
Yea. It seems like it. Kind of like some of the GB builds we have right now. Hopefully those things can be removed before a full release.
[TouchPad General] scariola:
No wifi

No SD storage access

No side loading apps

No market

And whole bunches of other reasons you SHOULD wait for CM9.
[TouchPad General] reverendkjr:
I'm currently removing this from my Touchpad.

Making room for CM9. :D
[TouchPad General] B Dizzle:
I would not recommend this to anyone who is not planning on doing some Dev work. As stated there is a lot of work to do and not much is working right now. If you guys want to assist or keep an eye on progress check out https://github.com/Evervolv/android_device_hp_tenderloin.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
I have it on good authority that evervolv and XRON are teaming up.
[TouchPad General] Bear gri11z:
That is sad news to me.... I think I just found a buyer for my touchpad :(
[TouchPad General] rigocalin:
Side loading apps is working!!!!

I actually have market and all other google apps on but no Wifi for now.

Also adb is working so Side load apps its possible :).

Wifi/SD still not working.

You just need to install the driver manually and adb will work.
[TouchPad General] sahhar1993:
leo fix sd card you can work with him
[TouchPad General] mr2sweet:
adb driver

what driver did you use to get adb working? can you pm me a link to the driver i need?
[TouchPad General] nimms:
http://bit.ly/wJ4fm0

This is the p4 version.. Working fine n smooth for me.

Just flashed on Xron after full wipe.

SD mouting to PC is not working in all ICS versions.

Wifi works fine, Market is fine, HD videos on SD card work fine with MX player(with armv7 codec), Side loading is fine too..

Had error, then booted to WebOS then restrted to Evervolv ICS fine (or just use http://classicnerd.net/betas/update-remove-MOBOOT-Entries.zip to update entries) Had to flash ICS twice.. YMMV

ok tried kies , but that does not work with my phone cant upgrade or emergency recover it . if i just use odin with stock ROM will it lose my root and everything . i want it as close as i can get to when i turned the phone on 1st time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
?? If you want it back to as close as you can get to when you turned it on the first time, you won't have root anyways. Just flash whatever firmware from Intratech's thread you want.

First you need to flash your original firmware

[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
As per the thread title, I am looking for a battery charger for the TG01. I need one that will simply charge the battery (will need also a spare battery) - and just swap out the batteries as I go. I can't work with an external charger that connects via micro-usb (as I'm having issues with the micro-usb port and can't charge the phone! Therefore need another means of charging ASAP - and will come back and look at how to tackle fixing the micro-usb port at a later stage).

Anyone know where I can get such a thing???

Struggling to do so - so far in my www search....
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
You mean like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...700?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a6e594a7c

"Universal mobile battery charger" is what I looked for.

You can get better one's with digital readouts, but that is EXACTLY what I bought a few days ago to try and save my TG01 from a bad wm6.5. Just waiting for it to turn up.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
@Scougar: Yes - I managed to get one in the end - off ebay. Hopefully it will arrive before the week is out - as I'm currently phone less!
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
Not good! Mine arrived today btw... Annoyingly no instructions on what the LED colours mean on it, or which terminal is positive and which negative.

btw.. mine says 850ma on it, so not the full 1000ma, but I can live with that.
[TG01 Accessories] MIKEs84:
I bought this on eBay - can´t paste the link here - look for - 1500mah Micro USB Back up Battery Charger + Cable for Toshiba TG01 TG 01

I am very satisfied when need to power battery out not having power adaptor. However I have totally 3 batteries and purchased also the solar power adaptor with internal battery.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
I had the same problem re. instructions - but have got the hang of it. However, it's not a sufficient solution for me. It seems to take an absolute age to power up a battery. I have a spare battery - and even this isn't going to be enough.

I guess it's because of the way I use the phone - with connection to usb keyboard - to write emails...even though I remove the cable the moment the email has been written, it absolutely drains battery resources - RAPID!

I will have to try and get the micro-usb port fixed somehow. I've contacted toshiba to see if - first of all there is any warranty cover on the phone (i bought it off ebay - so not sure if covered or not).

Even if not covered, I'm unsure where to send it - or who can really fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? I am based in Ireland. Do Toshiba have a list of approved service centres??
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
You will just need to get a higher 'ma' rated charger then (so battery will charge faster).

BTW.. sounds stupid.. but have you tried another micro usb cable (a proper charging cable, rather than just a regular data transfer micro usb one?)
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
Ok, thanks. IF i have no option but to keep using an external charger, may look at gettting another one.

I have tried a number of cables - that had been working at one stage but no longer work. However, they work when it comes to connecting to my usb keyboard.....just not working to charge the phone...

MICRO-USB Repair.

I'm a bit concerned about this - as someone has suggested to me that this can't be repaired - that it's 'terminal'. Can this really be the case????

Seems an awful waste of a phone if that's true....
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
I'm not sure what "burn's out", so I wouldn't like to speculate, but the repair of the actual 'port' surely wouldn't be that hard even for an amateur solderer? Maybe it's something in a charging chip that's burnt out? Given that you can pick tg01's up for £50+ (I really am guessing here.. I've been drinking).. it probaly isn't worth the cost of a repair unless you do it yourself.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
The ruddy thing cost me €200 back then....can't remember for sure when -I think 9 months ago. Just checked ebay and they range from €110-€180. Pretty poor form - if they can't do the job for a couple of years at the very least.

Not sure where I stand as regards warranty - still waiting to hear back from toshiba support.

I don't feel that buying another one is the way to go - if they are flawed in this way. Furthermore, it makes me wonder about investing in a good phone - if they all have a point of weakness in terms of the micro-usb slot. Had a quick look at the nokia lumia at one stage last week....but if I'm using that port heavily (which i am - constantly swapping out between cable (for keyboard) and usb power cable....will the same thing happen?
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
If you are worried about over working the port, then just get an extension cable or try using a powered USB hub so you won't be swapping it out so often.

The micro usb port design is probably 'weak' compared to the mini USB port design, but it's what we are pretty much every phone on the market is now using. You could also use a USB keyboard.

I would only have considered about £75 for my phone (MODS: I can't sell it , I've bricked it... or as I like to say "I'm between operating systems at the moment" ;-) ) Point is, you can probably get one cheaper than you are seeing on ebay.

I think you are either better off with another phone, or getting a bigger battery, they question is whether you want to invest in the TG01 anymore, or get something else.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
How can I use the powered usb hub exactly? I can plug the usb keyboard into it -then run a usb cable between the hub and the usb to micro-usb adaptor that then connects to the phone...is that correct?

This is what is also dampening down my enthusiasm for investing in another phone. It's a situational thing - and I don't really have any other option but to use a usb keyboard (I can't connect via bluetooth).

That's a savage rate of depreciation!

As regards moving on to a new unit, I don't really want to go down this road for two reasons;

1. I don't think I have got my money's worth out of the spend on the TG01 - and while the work arounds are far from ideal - I am otherwise happy with the phone in principal

2. I fear making another big investment - only for the same thing to happen again (given that I will continue to use micro-usb port heavily

A bigger battery - I don't think is a possibility?? I know there was one oversized battery on the market for that phone - but it came with a new back cover for the phone also - as it was thicker than normal. It was expensive - and it's not really the route I wish to take. What I might do - is buy another battery. Then - with 3 batteries on the go - just keep charging them up on rotation at home.

Mickey mouse approach - but I don't see any other feasible way of handling it.

IF I did get another phone, I don't think it would be the TG01. It served its purpose at the time (and It will continue to do so - although more awkward now). However, I don't think this sort of failure should happen - and support should be better. Very hard to get a hold of someone in support - NO support in ROI - and necessary to mail the phone in to their UK service centre. In addition, just discovered that it's out of warranty.
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
There are some internal pictures of the TG01 floating around, it might be worthwhile trying to dig those up, and see if you can get a look at the USB connection points, and see if an amateur repair is possible.

EDIT: If you go to the following thread you will find internal pictures :-) It looks to me like the port could be repaired if you have a fine enough soldering iron, or taped it up well enough. (As long as the problem isn't a 'trace' being burnt out... and we assume that the port itself has broken/come loose or needs replacement).
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
Can someone recommend a good quality external charger

Only a couple of weeks - and the external charger I got off ebay seems to be flaking!

Can anyone recommend a

GOOD QUALITY

external charger that I could order up - that will work well with TG01 batteries??
[TG01 Accessories] Scougar:
Have to say... that one I bought isn't the best quality. connection is 'iffy' now it seems.

Product review: 4/10. d'oh.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
I;ve been trawling the net - but they all seem the ruddy same! What would you buy if you had to go again?

Right now - at this moment - the charger is working again - but I spent half the day trying to get it to work up until now! I don't have great faith in it - and if it goes, I'm sans phone once again.

If I could get a reliable charger, I would be fairly happy. I've got into the routine of charging alternate batteries - so that system works (so I can squeeze the outlay on the phone back out of it - before I go and upgrade at a later stage).
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
The only other type of external charger I could find was this.

So....i've ordered one up....will post back whether it actually does the job or is another piece of sh1t!
[TG01 Accessories] tcampomanes:
I bought this charger a few weeks ago, works perfectly.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
Delighted to hear that. Hopefully this will provide the ultimate solution for my TG01 - and I can go on and use it for the next 12 months and get my $$ back out of it!
[TG01 Accessories] tcampomanes:
when I bought the charger the seller sent me this message:

Dear friend:

Do you know how to use the charger?

I'm sorry I don't have technical info in English.

How to use?

1/ without power put the battery in the charger, you can 360 rotation

the charger to fit your battery (no matter your battery is big or

small.)------------------- if the battery put well in the charger, the

light will go on blue.

the charger can Automatic detection of positive "+" and negative "-", so

just connect the "two pin" with "+" "-" of the battery.

2/ with power,(connect it with power)

Charging--------the light is red

Full charge-----the light is blue

--

When you receive the charger, if have any problem about "how to use" or

other problem please contact me and I will reply within 24 hours.

Thank you.

the seller was very helpful and sent to Spain was fast, 10 to 14 days.
[TG01 Accessories] borderfox:
I used that charger in combination with a couple of batteries - up until a few months ago. Trying to use the TG01 this week - as backup - just need it with a different sim in it.

However, either the batteries can no longer hold any charge or the charger isn't charging them anymore? Anyone have any ideas on this?? I leave the battery in the charger overnight. It's got red light when I slot it in and blue light when I take it out (which in theory is the way it should be). However, when i slot the battery in, it's dead within literally a couple of hours!

Anyone know whats going on here?
[TG01 Accessories] juzz86:
Sounds like your cells are stuffed buddy (based on the fact you do get a couple hours usage (not zero), plus the LEDs on the charger seem in order). How long have you had them? Usage patterns while using the TG01 as your primary device 'back in the day' can wreak havoc on cell holding capacity over longer periods of time. If you 'cycle' your cells down to about 10%, then recharge every night, your cells last longer. If you're like me, and put the thing on a charger every chance you get, your cells suffer somewhat. Not noticeable in day-to-day usage, but over time the effects are magnified :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xavias:
First off, forgive me if this was already answered, I tried searching for about 15 minutes before I decided to post this.

As the title states, I'm having an issue with my gnex where I get this high pitched and crackling sound when receiving SOME incoming calls. I can't hear the person, and whenever they speak, the noises get louder so I can't hear them at all.

I think it's software, rather than hardware, since it doesn't happen on every single incoming call. From what I can tell, actually, it's totally random. But if I call the person back it is fine. They could even call me right back and it's fine.

My friend who also got a gnex from a different vzw store has the same issue. His also appears to be random.

Do you guys think it's just network, random phone problems, software issues, or all three?

Info: Verizon Wireless CDMA Galaxy Nexus running fully stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dizavis:
For the record, I too am experiencing this issue. I also have the issue via 3.5mm jack and during other audio playback. At first I thought it was just my low-quality aux cable I was using in my car, but then I experienced it on a normal call. I was thinking software for this reason too as it happens via the jack as well as speaker... (Also happened watching Netflix, so that covers all audio output but bluetooth.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xavias:
Are people on custom roms experiencing this? I wasn't going to root this phone as I didn't see too much of a need, but I will if it will get rid of this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
if by crackling you mean it almost sounds like a fax sound, squealing, similar to this description, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453769 , then yes I had this when I ran stock but now that im running francos, AOKP, and the 4.0.3 radios(which arent included in most 4.0.3 roms), i have not had the problem.

My GF had a problem where her mic was bad, about 50% of the time i got a call from her she would sound muffled, almost as if underewater. She exchanged it at VZW and haven't had any problems since.
