I say get the Sensation, its a great device with some flaws (nothing major tho) but Evo 3D is useless, that 3D stuff is just a gimmick. As for the waiting...well you said you're a poor student (just like me :D ) so I think it doesnt matter, whatever HTC shows at MWC wont be cheap ;)
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
If you like cm you will only have cm7 for now. The AOSP ICS support for this rom is pretty lacking. If you want ICS you will have to settle for sense.
[HTC Sensation] fabi280:
The problem is that those prices are just offers with limited time.

And the Evo doesn't have that much Roms available :-(

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Can you tell me more about the flaws?

Is there any hope for CM9 for the Sensation? And is it already confirmed that the Sensation gets ICS?

OH, just a quick thought, how much internal space does the data partition have? My legend has a 512 mb rom, so not much space left for apps (I'm using data2ext)

[HTC Sensation] norazi:
i dont know if that is a good price since i am in the US but the biggest issue i have with my Sensation is AOSP/Cyanogen dev support. if I could go back I would probably go with a Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S 2 X (very similar specs to Sensation) since they have much better dev support
[HTC Sensation] yousuc:
sensation is a great phone. I also own an evo3d. I prefer my sensation over my evo3d. Sensation has more devs and stuff going on than the evo. Though if you wait for the latest and greatest I am sure it will cost a pretty penny. Though another thought if you buy the phone from him and get service I believe you could get a new phone at your carrier but you would have to verifiy that with your carrier of choice.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
WiFi and signal reception can suffer death grip issues (easily fixed if you get a case ) , Sense sometimes crashes for no reason and you can notice that it slows down the phone from time to time, battery life is average. Again nothing serious but it can be frustrating , software problems are genrally fixed in custom roms if you're willing to root it

p.s it has been rumored that we will get ICS after MWC , probably in the first week of March

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
So I've been trying to get more life out of my battery, I get decent now, but not the 18+ hours I've seen other people getting. I think the main problem here is, if I go view the Applications -> Battery Usage screen, the "Wi-Fi" and "Awake" bars are always full blue, even when the phone hasn't been touched in a couple hours.

Does anyone know what actually causes these to now sleep? Is it push email? Or some other setting I'm missing?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Look and find out you can start by turning off wifi if not using it post your screen shots of battery use someone may help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pojieps:
Try Menu/Settings/Wireless and Network/Wi-Fi Settings. Then press Menu/Advanced/Wi-Fi- sleep policy.

Play with those settings. You are probably set to "Never". Folks have actually been reporting better battery life with this setting (powering on and shutting down the wifi eats up battery) You can play around with it to get your own results.

Hit thanks if this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Ah...yes, it is set to never. So leaving it on "never" gets better results, say if you're at home and always have a wifi connection? Also, if the wi-fi is on, does that mean the device can't sleep I take it, that's what's keeping the device awake with screen off?

Thanks for the tip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
I've heard both sides to this argument, and frankly I don't think most people understand why changing it does, or in other cases does not help.

I suspect that the answer to your issue isn't going to be found here. Here's the theory:

- Setting wifi policy to "Sleep - Never" results in better battery life for some; it's likely because these individuals have a fairly low 3g signal, which tends to draw more battery when periodic updates/synchronization occurs (e.g., gmail, calendar, facebook, etc.). By leaving wifi Sleep set to never, the wifi (which THEORETICALLY uses less power than 3g) can do the work instead.

- Setting wifi policy to "Sleep - When Screen is Off" can result in better battery life for a number of reasons, many of the underlying issues being hard to identify. For example, if your router tends to send a lot of 'noise' and wake up your phone, having wi-fi disabled will prevent this. Location services in the OS - which you've probably permitted to 'help locate you faster' - even when you are NOT connected to a wifi network - will periodically ping wireless networks around you to help facilitate faster geolocation. This uses battery as well.

But don't confuse the generalities that have spawned from people's anecdotal situations with what could be a very different problem.

Was your phone primarily located in one location during most of the 'awake' period? If so, then it was probably connected to the same router most of that time. If so, it really

shouldn't

matter what the setting was for Advanced Wifi - the phone should still sleep.

If you turn off wi-fi on the device, and the device then sleeps, then you've narrowed the issue some, but that is not a solution, because what are you going to do, not use wifi?

You've got to dig deeper; your issue may be any of the following - rogue app that keeps a wakelock, rogue app that updates too frequently, wifi modem issue, router issue, OS issue, etc.

In short, you need to figure out what's keeping the phone awake. Get CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats to help you get insight into what's keeping the device awake.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Thank you for that very informative post. My phone was on my desk all day today( worked from home ) and wi-fi is set to always on, and it never slept, not even once.

I'll try disabling wi-fi( should have done this earlier to be honest and checked ) and then I'll download those apps, I just got Badass Battery Monitor, I'll check out the two you recommended as well. Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Your phone should still go into deep sleep with wifi on. If it doesn't then you have something else wakelocking your phone. However, if wifi is set to never sleep, and wifi is enabled, the bar on the battery chart will always be solid blue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
So just installed CPU Spy, it looks like IM+ is the biggest user of wakelocks. I like to always be signed in to my accounts, but not at such a huge cost of battery, does anyone know of a better multi IM client that will push updates to you? I used to have IM+ on the iPhone( yea I know, just switched two months ago, and never looking back ) and the push on it worked great. The 'push' IM+ says it has is awful, most of the time I never get my IMs sent to me at all.

Also have skype signed on all the time, not sure if that is wakelock'ing anything, I'll have to keep an eye on it, it didn't show up on CPU Spy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Try IMO, free from the Android Market. Its a multi-IM client that combines most common clients including Skype. I've used it. It creates some wakelocks, but not sufficient to wake the phone. I don't use IM very often so I'd be curious to hear how it works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Thanks ... Giving it a try today, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
So been trying IMO the past couple days. Seems much better than IM+. Haven't seen any disconnects, I get my IMs about 30sec - 1min after the computer gets them, which is fine, and the wake-locking is extremely minimal. IM+ was awful with the wake-locking.

So that clears up the Always awake issue, flashed Blazer 3.8 last night, so can't comment on battery too much yet, also calibrating today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it helped, and I now feel a little more confident leaving my IM 'on' more often.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Outstanding!

For a first edition beta - this is awesome.

I'm a PAL tv owner in UK (LG 720p 32" LCD) - stvpal, stvpaln, stvpalm all appear very clear on the TV screen, nice job :)

As well as the known issues detailed in OP first usage for me illustrates the same 'incorrect' aspect ratio on my TV as your Youtube demo.

By incorrect I mean the horizontal/width is to wide (slight cut off on both left/right side), however the height seems fine.

Very nice Tballer :)

[* PyroIce ICS on DS/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
thanks for testing. Were the original roms tvout picture fitting perfectly?

i hope someone with ntsc or older tv (crt) can test this, but the real fun is to have it on hdtv. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
The original stock rom would output the correct apect ratio to the tv (no cut off) perfectly - adjusting portrait/landscape appropriately.

On stock, the output to tv would reflect the correct persepective from the phone. Hence portrait mode on phone comes up portrait on tv (hence central on the tv screen). Again if phone is in landscape mode this is then reflected on tv screen by filling the tv screen in landscape mode without cutoffs.

I am using a HD TV, if that's what you mean.

[* PyroIce ICS on DS/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
i wont struggle with the portrait mode, its pretty much doesnt make sense to have it. but i will look at correcting the ration, although that means loosing data...the tvout device has a bigger screen to fill in horizontal resolution, a shame its not fully displayed on the tvs... :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I agree, Portrait mode is perhaps not needed, unless some gamers play some games with preference in portrait mode.

Ratio, frame rate & glitch is all that's desired I guess.

I'm unsure as to why the output to tv is cut off slightly, but I'm sure some tweaking on your end will make good ;)

Edit:

To make usage of this feature a little easier for users, I've created the necessary gscript scripts to fire up your 'tv out app' from either within gscripts or even better - add a homescreen 'gscript widget' for your appropriate tv standard (ntsc or pal/n/m) using the appropriate script for your tv.

The download below is a zip containing a gscript folder itself containing 4 scripts. Unzip this to your root sdcard such you have the gscript folder on your sd then install gscript. (Alternatively extract the individual gscript(s) and place into your pre existing gscript folder if already installed.)

Enjoy ;)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
What resolution are you getting once you are connected to an hd tv? This capability always seemed pointless to me. I don't understand what the point is since I would expect bad quality on red/white/yellow cables going into a tv
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
720x576 in theory. pointless or not, its fun to play games on tv either way. I wish we had the MHL chip, but we have no way to have that confirmed yet... and by default jack tvout is the only option now.

[* PyroIce ICS on DS/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Far from pointeless I think.

Having my slingplayer & plex servers through my phone to any tv under wifi worldwide is nothing but super rich feature.

Nonetheless ;)

Fair play its not mhl but its better then watching lenghty streams on device only - options is what this feature provides.

[* PyroIce ICS on DS/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
I've already got my laptop streaming 1080p on my 40 inch for game emulation, porn, and youtube =)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Oh but havn't we all ;)

I personally don't take my lappy with me everywhere I go... Hence i like that this device can feed any tv with your sdcard vids, youtube, youjizz, pron collection, slingplayer & plex servers allbeit in SD quality.

I have a spare AV lead in my car, for if whenever I'm out at a friends or wherever and we may want to watch some youtube or watch an entire series or movies from my plex servers or my slingplayer via my phone to pretty much any tv.

Point being we don't tend to go everywhere with our laptops. Your scenario illustrates home usage. Where as my angle/perception of this tvout feature is that the device is capable (ok not at 1080p HD but rather SD) of general playback & streaming in an utterly 'mobile manor.'

Which is the feautre rich aspect I refer to. Rather then the loss in signal quality you're stumbling on, I'm more for this feature as an extention to the swiss army type phone we have.

We use our phones in different ways ;)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Progress, good going :)

[* PyroIce ICS on DS/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Just tried on my Sony crt, and same effect as on my lcd.

The width is cut off.

I've tried changing the aspect ratio on both lcd and crt, thinking shrinking the output on the tv may show the entire feed from phone - but those tests failed, hence the cut off is present across the board.

(By width I mean - rotating/opening the phone in landscape mode, the far left and far right sides of the screen of the phone screen are cut off from the output signal to the TV.)

(Basically I get the same results - aspect wise - that your youtube demo illustrates with either my hdtv or my crt tv.)

Hope this helps diagnose somewhat ;)

[* PyroIce ICS on dShot/MT4gS *]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:

Already a comment on youtube, "will this work on samsung", hehe. No, it works for this device only out of the box. It needs tvout capability through jack, and the app is specifically written to this device's resolutions.

I hope mt4gs users know that the original factory rom has tvout... But this app adds the possibility for custom roms now.

wow, ive found out that busybox has a program called "nice" covered.

"nice" is a unix/posix command you might be familiar with that serves to raise or lower the Priority of a native process. (busybox is a very nice app that lets you get to the linux kind of commands that by default android is not shipping with)

This means that I will be able to try raising the priority of the tvout process. I hope it will help to make the framerate more fluent. It's quite fast now but occasional lags happen, this might help! Cant wait to get home to tv and try...

Bruteforce TV-out app Update 1.2 beta package

Changes:

Added busybox process priority tweak. Result: frame rate improvement of the tvout

tvout process will get a -15 nice, which means the kernel will favour its execution quite a lot. The videos now play much more fluent (not perfect in all conditions), games are much more fluent as well.

All rooted ROMs with busybox installed should benefit from it, but if you don't have it installed, it will start the tvoutd without busybox, so you can use it anyway. Now we really reached the frame limit of this application.

Check it for yourself, as I see it on my phone it's not 100% but 90%, which is much more than i've expected from this method used in this app (not overlaying through GPU)
