[HTC Sensation] smudgelab:
Hi, I've just got a Sensation xe. I came from a HTC HD2, then a Desire, then a Desire HD. As I always pass the handsets to my completely non tech' savvy family who are not delicate with their technology, I've never rooted / flashed and always remained on stock just in case of warranty requirements. I love the extra on board memory of the Desire HD / Sensation Xe and look at each phone as step in the right direction. They're always familiar and do everything I could possibly want of them (except last 2 or 3 days on the battery) so I'm more than happy with both build quality (and warranty work by HTC, can only speak form experience but very slick when I needed to use it) / Sense etc. The only thing and it is minor, is I just wish I could get the Desire HD keyboard onto my stock sensation xe and despite what all the figures suggest, the screen in the xe definately "seems" skinnier than my Desire HD.

Evolution not revolution as they say and each small step is one in the right direction. (For me anyway). Each to their own but I can understand your feelings if you expected to go from Space shuttle to USS Enterprise!:D
[HTC Sensation] plasmafire:
Yeah dude, I get what u're saying. the desire is the same sort of device as the sensation, can run the same software. So not much of a scope for improvement in the user experience.

Let's see what's up for grabs in 18 montths when my contract expires. :)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I came from a Desire too, my XE has plenty of internal storage and a larger screen which is good. On the down side though, my phone signal is pants in comparison.
[HTC Sensation] 325i.:
Thanks for the reply, as you say hopefully ill get used to it.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] insomniac74:
I also came from the Desire and feel a bit underwhelmed. At first the biggest disappointment was the screen, that seemed washed out compared to the Desire's amoled screen. After about seven months with the Sensation these things are a bit of a let down:

- There is not enough RAM. Ever so often I get the white htc screen when pressing the home button. Anyone know if ICS / Sense 3.5 will consume even more RAM?

- The phone hangs from time to time - mostly while installing / updating apps ( Also RAM related?).

- Radio signal seems to be very unstable, jumping constantly between 1 - 5 bars ( even when on GSM only). It will also often skip between 3g and H, which never happened with the Desire (always either E or H).

Another issue is that there is a spot (~1x2 mm) at the center of the screen that is brighter than the rest. It's most visible on black/dark/medium dark screens, but also appears as a grey speck on a white screen. Its not visible on light grey background.

I'm consider sending the phone back for service/repair, but I'm not keen on restoring all my apps and settings either.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
My friend got a Sensation on upgrade and intended to sell it to get a new turbo for his scooby but made the mistake of playing with mine before selling it.Now he has sold his desire and says that the sensation is way better than his desire ever was.Runs games sooo smooth and being the XE he loves the headphones included
[HTC Sensation] JoRJoo:
A 4 months ago i passed my Desire to my GF and get Nexus S... in 5 days I changed with Sensation.

I never expected something revolutionary .. but it`s better phone next generation.

With more memory, faster dual core CPU, more adequate battery life (I used my Desire as a second phone due the need of changing 2 batt`s during the office hours. Now my Sensation`s battery is lasting about 10 business hours... and 2 days @ weekend)

There is still a tons of ponts that can be upgraded.. but it`s a technology/pricing, marketing, sales .. and so on decision.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
and you don't consider those as major improvements? i do

the Desire was sexy, the Sensation is sexier
[HTC Sensation] alireza.plus:
I was like this :

lg optimus one > desire > incredible s > sensation.

liked incredible the most, but sensation is much better regarding the dual core and bigger display. better memory performace, better cpu and graphics

(ICS is also promissing)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I'm not so sure, in hindsight I think I was happier with my Incredible S. The 4" screen was just the right size for me, the camera was much better out of the box, although the HD recording was only at 20fps and not 30. But to be fair, what phone has a good HD camera?
[HTC Sensation] snakeeyes21:
I've just come from the trusty old desire to sensation.

Rooted, s-off, ICS Rom etc etc added within an hour of

it being delivered :o

First impressions are looking good, nice to have a bigger

screen, feels a lot snappier, internal memory is a major

plus point.

Sitting the desire and sensation side by side you can clearly

see its an 'upgrade' not in massive ways, but an upgrade

non the less.

I've just put the desire back to stock to send away for a fix

before selling it, and to be honest I hate what it was out of

the box, how people ranted and raved about the thing ill

never know.

Think ill be sticking to HTC from now on, the desire was a

workhorse, solidly built, unlike other brands which feel like

toys, the sensation feels the same in that regard, feels solid,

looks good, specs that will no doubt be fine for the next year

or maybe 2, seems to be a good community behind it, like the

desire.

Yes the sensation hasn't left me thinking wow, what great phone,

but let's face it, coming from the desire, which is still an excellent

phone and is still holding its ground, I really don't know what could

be added to a phone at this point in time that would give the same

'wow' factor as the desire gave.

I think the 'smartphone' has come of age, anything from now on will

just be gimmicky, and slight upgrades to this and that, I don't think

anything is going to be 'groundbreaking' in the next few years atleast.

So IMO desire > sensation is a worthy 'upgrade' when you look at the

whole package and compare it to what else is available at the moment.

But I guess only time will tell..
[HTC Sensation] GuySmiles:
I also came from the desire, then desire HD, now the Sensation.

I will usually wait until about a few months after a new phone has come out and then buy it on ebay or craigslist, then sell my old one. It usually only ends up costing me about $40 to upgrade.

While I am really happy that there are ICS roms for the Sensation, i'm not as blown away as when I first moved from the desire to the desire HD.

I do prefer the quality of screen on the sensation compared to the dulled out desire hd, and love the multi touch capabilities of anything above the Desire. Though HTC will have to up their game a bit as my next phone will be coming with a contract renewal, and if samsung puts out anything like the Galaxy SII X again with a quad core I might be jumping ship.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Only happened this morning to me. Was trying to buy an app and it kept sayin Error occured try again later. Only happens for paid apps. Can download free apps. Before i flashed kezra rom it worked fine. After it i installed a few free apps no problem. Checked pretty much everything and even tried flashing the rom again afew time to no success. Everything else was working in order like when i first got the phone

Emailed android centre about it. But i just said i restore back to original rom 2.3.5 and see if that worked and it did. Anybody else have this problem
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Try to login to your google account again then reboot your wonder

If it happened again

Try my stock rom

http://blacknotes.weebly.com
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
First of all what rom is yours based on?? And also can i use clockworkmod to flash it as i have that on my phone now... And i rebooted my wonder 4 times now and still no luck so back to my stock rom 2.3.5 gb.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
XXKK1 as a base firmware

I'm still using RZR recovery

I put CMW for the next ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Ah well i couldnt get rzr to run so used cwm instead
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redcupsmash:
so ive tried some of the options others have put on the website for what i thought was a bootloop that i was stuck on, but i cant even get the thing into the right recovery that i had

i had clockworkmod recovery running CM7 and was in the process of changing it back to my old stock rom but my phone turned off

when i tried getting it back into the recovery mode it sends me to RECOVERY SYSTEM UTILITY 3e instead and the power button wont allow me to select anything

the only options are

Reboot system now

- Apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

but like i said i cant even select any of them just highlight them

can someone help me

i think i have i have a soft brick on my hands

Anyone else having this issue or know if there are settings I could tweak to stop this?
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
[Motorola Droid X2] 03civicdx:
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.

As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
[Motorola Droid X2] hamburgerman:
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.

On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:

Productivity: 3395

Gaming: 2581

After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:

Productivity: 1776 avg.

Gaming: 2383 avg.

I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.

Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?

Just curious.

Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.

Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.

You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! ;) I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.

Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that

Hello, ive tried searching but i had no luck. I was wondering if any of you happen to know if there is a rom out there that is just stock vanilla for the 4G? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanyou :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
No Vanilla in this forum. I think we like the tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
RaverX3X posted an ODIN flashable 2.3.6 stock ROM in the Developer section. It's the same files that came from Samsung via Kies Mini. It is not modded at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I believe the OP is talking about Vanilla Android, no skins like Touchwiz etc...Airfluip's AOSP may be the closest visually, but to my knowledge there is currently no actual Vanilla Android.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well the OP can always get a 3rd party launcher with an AOSP theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Vanilla Android, as I understand, is what is straight from Google and doesn't have customized interfaces or apps that the carriers put on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Exactly....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I thought vanilla is part of ics...

You can get raver's odin 2.3.6 and use fbi251's debloater to take out The T-mobile ****.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Ah, misinterpretation on my part. Was thinking stock, not vanilla per-se. Thanks for the clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Vanilla Android = AOSP

with the way samsungs ROMs are built, we probably won't have a true AOSP rom, but Airfliup has done a pretty good job at making a ROM that looks and feels like AOSP. It's in the dev section, so check it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dblock:
Thanks for all the responses guys. Yeah, im looking for a true vanilla rom and i tried using the stock gingerbread launcher but it seems a little laggy to me ontop of several roms that i have tried. You would think since the nexus s is so close to our family a vanilla rom would be easy to port over. Oh and do you guys happen to have a link to Airfluip's AOSP? I tried searching for it but came up with no luck. Thanks again guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
There really has to be something wrong with your search function...

Not to mention it is on the first page in the Galaxy S 4G Android Development section -

AOSP Style 2.1

Yeah i saw it right after i got done searching. I went browsing through the development forums and it was on the top ha ha. Thanks for the link though :)

Dear members,

When my battery is empty ( phone falls out ) i start recharging my phone. But it says its rechaging from 26%. Thats wierd because it was completely empty. Anyone know how i can fix this problem?

[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
The phone and the Li-Ion and LiPo batteries have a safety measure implemented by the manufacturer to prevent draining to 0% (which will destroy the batteries). Therefore your battery will never be 0%, even if the phone says so. It will be around 5% or so.

I bought it from Gigavolt while they still had supply. It said so on the site it was a foreign language phone.

PS still no update here.

Solution

I had this issue when I was using the phone the first few weeks. The phone - always when inactive - suddenly played the restart melody and briefly rebooted, though not as a complete reboot, many time every day.

I tried various solutions and one finally worked. The Accuweather widget was on the desktop. Removing this widget solved the problem! It must have adversely interacted with something else or the system itself.

I haven't had the issue once in the months since removing the Accuweather widget from the desktop.
