stock htc battery on sensation is a piece of defective **** lol it overheats and complete drains the battery and causes phone to turn off

once replaced with an anker battery my battery life on sensation is much longer than mt4g with stock battery.
[myTouch 4G General] Snakecharmed:
Nobody believes in hard buttons anymore. In fact, nobody really believes in any buttons anymore—see phones with ICS stock.
[myTouch 4G General] Ababyloon85:
Huh thats funny, thats the one of the reason I got MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] sunlaw2:
Dude.get the sgs2.I'm on a few devices.

The sgs2 is the best.

Sensation is OK,but to me,IMO,its better,but not worth the upgrade.

Amaze is definitely worth it,but hot daaamn.

Once you go Hercules,nothing compares.

IMO.

Get the sensation.the 2smoothest phones I've tried are the infuse and Hercules.

HTC is fun to play with,but once you get used to the sgs2,its the best so far.

Running it stock debloated,efffin great.

Get the Hercules.
[myTouch 4G General] madmanmostafa:
The SGS2 is a good phone, but I wouldn't get the T-Mo variation (T989). If you go onto their rom development, they're behind even us, and our phone is ancient by comparison.
[myTouch 4G General] sunlaw2:
Its awesome.for a phone that is.find me an international version and yes its better.but whatost of us can get our hands on is tmo version,soo...

Best available phone on our carrier.

Wonder if 4g would work on unlocked inter version?

Development is lacking,thus I haven't flashed anything,not even tdj's yet.

But I find it to be just like cm7 less the lock screen mods.

Adw ex on top,and its like cm7 for sure.

Now the sensation is hood,but all the roms are the same.

For that matter,across all devices what do we really have?

Cm7,miui,and sense,which t989 has,minus sense.

Ics ?not there yet.

What do we really miss?

Nothing except crack flashing is limited.

Gotta believe cyanogen had his hand in the Samsung functionality of touchwiz,but probably nothing to do with touchwiz.
[myTouch 4G General] madmanmostafa:
Hm.. I extrapolated a few things from that..

4G Does Not work on international devices. CM9 isn't supported but there are some CM7 based roms for the SGS2 T989.
[myTouch 4G General] sunlaw2:
What I meant is this...

Although,touchwiz is the stock is on Hercules,it seems to be (to me) influenced by cm7 as far as functionality.to me its better,but not terribly exciting.Therefore I prefer cm7.

Cm7 on Hercules is a question as I have not tried it.

On mytouch 4g the new cm7 is very good.

On sensation I found an soap rom that's good,but lacks the updated screen transitions of ice,which made cm7 so sweet.

The sensation is better than mytouch,but if you have an upgrade,why not get the best(sgs2).

Sensation has alot of development.but until I looked closer,I didn't realize its all the same ****.

Mytouch Roms are better.

Except no sense ics.

In other words...I miss the mytouch!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatherjack360:
Hi All

The USB port on my handset seems to have died for all purposes other than charging. The phone is detected as an unknown USB device or no device is even detected in device manager. The phone simply reports 'MTP Connected' when the cable is attached. Tried with 3 cables, numerous PCs and a Mac, uninstalled/reinstalled kies and drivers but nada. There is no change if the phone is in download mode.

One of the first things I did to try and fix this was do a factory reset using the dialer service code. Sadly this removed my root as I was using stock XXKI4 + Zerg exploit. Even though I have a Samsung official signed rom on here it seems a wise idea to return it to my mobile companies version before attempting a return for servicing.

As I don't think it is possible to get root access back without a working USB port, is it possible to flash the official carrier branded firmware tars (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928) using the 3E recovery or are those specifically for odin?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Try cleaning the port contacts with a little alcohol first.

If USB still not working;

Why lost root, do you still have superuser app. If not, enable USB debugging and reinstall superuser from market. You may have to reinstall busybox too. Use root check basic app to check for root access.

Use Mobile Odin app to flash firmware packages directly from sdcard. Official firmware from Intratech thread will remove root and restore to near factory condition. Factory reset etc and Check for any evidence (and remove) any previous root apps.

USB jig to reset Barry flash counter

Edit: then back for warranty

Edit 2: not sure if the jig will work for ki4 firmware, maybe try flash a earlier package before ki3, provided you can get this far.....

Best of luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamik5:
This seems to be also my problem with the difference that I use stock firmware. See my previous thread. Any help would be appreciated.

if his usb is not working he can't use Jig to reset counter.

his best bet is to buy a new usb with flex from ebay and change it himself it is pretty easy to do so.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatherjack360:
I think it terms of the counters I am ok because the only thing that has been flashed is the signed XEU KI4 which had the old bootloader inserted by Intratech, no custom kernels. On closer inspection I found the root was still present so have been able to get back to stock with mobile odin ok. Sadly made no change to the issue so fear it is hardware.

Hey guys,

You guys remember the days of touch pro2, now that was an awesome keyboard phone. But, now with the age of slim being the new trend. Would we see more phones that resemble the keyboard of the touch pro2. So, let's begin the discussion on what you think the future of keyboard phone is. I wish htc goes back to those key features which made it so great....

sorry, if there is another thread like this....

They might disappear eventually, but I think some heavy texters still prefer physical keyboards. With Swype I can almost meet the speed of a physical keyboard, but it's not quite the same. Optional bluetooth keyboards that attach in some way might start to become more prevalent, though.

[General Topics] hedgepigdaniel:
It seems like its only a matter of time before software keyboards get better - there just isn't space to put a physical keyboard on a phone. the swype system seems to be the best currently but anyone might dream up newer and better ways. speech recognition is also getting better all the time.
[General Topics] Archer:
Tactile screens will probably bring about the real end to physical keyboards as they're the only way to really replace them. It'd be the best of both worlds as well. Imagine a physical keyboard that's context sensitive!
[General Topics] JesseMT4G:
I don't see them dying completely. I know a lot of people crying when Blackberry is brought up, but there are still quite a few people over there that won't give up on a physical kb.

I have even contemplated it myself with a 9900. If not for the bricking issue....it really is an amazing phone, IMO.

I'm a fan of the Droid 2 and 3's keyboard, but I rather have a touchscreen now.
[General Topics] htc fan89:

[General Topics] gres83:
Touch screens are annoying sometimes, on keyboard phones you always hit right button, anyway I prefer touch screens (dictionary is very helpful while typing). Today I had a chance to play with speech recognition on iPhone and its preaty cool...Someone should start doing research on mind keyboards, just think instead of typing :)
[General Topics] AgileAssailant:
I agree that there is still a market for keyboards, but with phones becoming thinner, there's really no way to have a real keyboard anymore. I'm personally all for touchscreen digital keyboards, but I understand some people don't like change.
[General Topics] atljatl:
The strongest point against physical kb is the space issue. Period. It is literally a waste of space. I was on bb for a good while and swore I'd never leave, so loved the keys blah blah blah. Swiftkeyx made me just as fast, and the tech, as everyone has mentioned, is only getting better

I could live without physical keys while typing (even though its a struggle) but nothing is ever going to replace physical buttons for playing games.

Agreed. Not only do on screen buttons take up space, they aren't as easy to use as physical buttons.

[General Topics] adelmundo:
I love my Epic because of the keyboard. For long emails and typing in terminal mode where I have to type a lot of symbols and and numbers, you can't beat a physical keyboard (don't have to keep hitting the symbol key and alphabet key just to switch between symbols, numbers, and letters). Also, while playing emulator games like Street Fighter II, I can use my Game Gripper and it feels just like a controller. Also having that extra half screen of visual real estate while typing does help as well.

I must, absolutely MUST have a hardware keyboard. Its not a preference it is a mandatory requirement.

if there were no more Android keyboard phones made I would be forced to revert back to the Dream or Vision or whatever is available.

If anyone thinks I am being a *****...

then I challenge you to make a phone call with angry opposing attorneys over contentious issues using the relay service with a screen keyboard. its just not possible unless the keyboard knows what your saying without typing.

you guys use your ears and your minutes to make phone calls.

I use the keyboard.

Very true, often had trouble if I didn't look at the keyboard. Also, I wonder if they ever fixed the hinges which was a very huge flaw at launch.:confused:
[General Topics] tliebeck:
I personally like the ability to compose large emails from a phone, and that has kept me on the Motorola Droid line. As a developer I have a dozen Android devices sitting on my desk at present. I've tried using soft-keyboard phones form time to time as my personal phone, and even with the Galaxy Nexus, I just can't do it.

What's killing keyboards in the Android space is a lack of good phones with good keyboards. As a for-instance, recall that the Droid 2 and Droid 3 were antiquated compared to the competition when they debuted. "Motorola issues" aside, the Droid 4 seems to a very competitive offering and the keyboard is seriously good. This is the first time since the original Droid 1 when a US carrier has offered a state-of-the-art keyboard device. Assuming it turns out to be a decent device and its keyboard "wears well", I can imagine (perhaps only hope) that it leads a resurgence.
[General Topics] ebioman:
I dislike as well a lot this new trend (not so new anymore).

I had now over the past 3 years two phones with touch screen + keyboard and

really dislike the feeling. Therefore I just ordered 2 weeks ago on ebay an old

Nokia E71 (yes, go o laughing) which is like an ancient model already.

But I found that typing longer texts is just way better.

I am additionally located in Switzerland and need the funny German and French special

letters which are just much faster found on a real keyboard.

A little bit off topic; the physical keyboard was as well the one point why I finally bought the

Asus transformer. Typing blind with a on screen keyboard just does not work and makes long

messages a nightmare...

I really do hope that there will always be at least a small proportion of people with this preferences, forcing the industry to offer at least one or two models with the real thing ;)

I have to have a physical keyboard. Was intrigued when 2-ways first started doing it, interested when Nokia put out their first capable models, and tried it out when LG dropped the V a few years back and it's the only way now. I love that Motorola and others have put out sliders that don't compromise screen real estate at all and many provide a quality experience.

Swype is great for quick messages, but it's far too annoying to use for anything at length. It's also nice to have the entire screen viewable when entering commands in script and in terminal emulator, etc.

I'm looking forward to the Droid 5. Hoping for a removable battery for an extended bat, and a full HD screen.

I would still be rockin it if i wasnt in need of new hardware & software since ms dropped the ball with the tp3 n iphone clone 7. Im rocking the mytouch 4g now....its koo but i so miss the tp2s kb n titling screen. Im surprised htc hasnt released a android with the same form. I think all da complaints about battery life will help physical kb lovers in da long run since weight wouldnt be an issue.
[General Topics] blackchides:
Regarding soft keyboards, it's definitely just a matter of getting used to. I just can't go back to hard keyboards; it's just so much easier to use a soft keyboard due to the lack of resistance. You can just fly on a good soft keyboard like Swiftkey X.

Sadly I can see them dying eventually. I love my Epic 4g with its keyboard. I use the touch screen for quick messages but I prefer the keyboard for longer messages and for emails. I don't mind the little extra bulk as I have bigger hands and I usually shell out for the extended batteries on my phones anyways so that adds some bulk as well.
[General Topics] Dja357:
I used to like a physical keyboard, but then decided not to bother and make do with the touchscreen. Using Swiftkey X I can type pretty quickly. You get used to it after a while, it just takes a bit of practice to begin with.

Let's face it, the future is touchscreen so you'd better get used to onscreen keyboards now because you'll only get left behind.

I definitely hate not having a physical keyboard anymore. I went from a Droid to a Galaxy Precedent to save money and I regret not having that keyboard. I'm actually looking to buy the Optimus Q just to get that keyboard back. I don't mind the on screen keyboard per say, but I hate losing screen real estate when I have to type and it's near impossible for me to use PhoneToMyPC with an on screen keyboard. I can't see my desktop anymore when the keyboard pops up. As long as there is a market, I don't see them going away.
[General Topics] wutang69:
although i still know some people who prefer physical keyboards due to them being more quick and comfortable with it, i believe they are going to remain a minority forever, because those people make up for a minority. i don't think it will become extinct though, as long as there is a market out there for it
[General Topics] Edge1978:
I honestly cannot go back to physical keyboards. If it's not a touch keyboard LOL, I just can't.
[General Topics] Best Bomb Tech:
I think that the physical keys will continue trending away in the future in favor of smaller devices with more screen real estate. But I think there will always be a demand for physical keys which means that the market for accessories will see a nice boost in physically attachable as well as wireless, i.e. Bluetooth, keyboards.
[General Topics] RoyHinkley:
I haven't had a physical keyboard on a touchscreen phone since my LG Voyager and I don't miss is at all. The first "real" touchscreen I had was the iPhone 3G and once I got used to it I didn't want to go back. I once had a Palm IIIi (I think) and I remember buying a small thumb keyboard that connected to the port on the bottom of the Palm. That might be an option - removable keyboards.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rasdabess:
What is the most recommended 2.7 gingerbread rom that offers great battery life even with hard cpu usage.

Also do kernels that offer the same speed still differ in battery life consumption? and could I get one recommended plz

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deleted member 4128896:
I'd recommend either singh miui as is with the stock cm7 kernel it comes with, or eagleblood 2.7 with morfic's trinity kernel, you can either use the ELP version which OC's to a max. of 1.1GHz and is more battery friendly (i.e. undervolted) or the T15 version for higher OCing which is still pretty good for battery life.

I'm personally using eagleblood 2.7 with T15 trinity kernel.

P.S. of course all other roms, and kernels, available in the development section of this forum are great and each has it's unique touch. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference as well as what works best with your device seeing as to how performance fluctuates so much from one G2x to the other.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
From my personal expetience cm7 nightly + faux kernel give the best battery live. I've tried Trinity and it is pretty good but lasts 2-3 hours less, at least for me

<As a workaround, I am aware that I can delete her cell number and retype it. Just looking for an easier way!>

Question #2: Is it possible to have the default text phone number be different from the default dialing phone number?

Press and hold the number that you want to make default. A menu should popup saying "Mark As Default", click on it.

1 widget does both

it is not hard to just delete the widget then long press on screen select widget then select contact quick task select contact (your wife),then on home screen click the + button for phone, select her name, pick which number you want it to dial then hit done, then do the same for text click the + button for which text number(can even be a different phone number) you want to text to, hit done and you will have a widget that you can do either phone or text her from the home screen.
