[HTC Sensation] Xzeven:
I've been lucky enough to play with both phones for the last few weeks so I can give you my side by side comparison

1: I've not had the Non-XE version, but from 3 colleagues who do have it, it seem more buggy than the XE. So for me, I'd fo go for the XE version (it was only €15 difference when I bought it), plus the headphones are amazing for Bass (I normally wouldn't care about sound..but still...wow)

2: Yes, everyone I know at work has this problem, myself included. Though in my case (sensation XE) I only have a tiny single spec of dust, barely noticable, but there none the less.

3: The SGS2 screen is Super AMOLED, and I gotta say Samsung wins on this occasion. I was blown away by the quality. That said though after using it for a few weeks you do notice the lower resolution on the Samsung, especially on 1080 movies/TV.

4: The XE wins this match, the sound from the phone itself and from any headphones you use even the included Beat sound by far better on the XE. If you watch any HD TV and films on the phone you'll notice that the XE does a better job of hardware sound decoding, less likely to ever lag. Particularly noticeable on flash and youtube.

5: This has never been a problem for me, I use both phones A - LOT, and have never had an issue. There was one time where Sense reset it self on the Stock rom, but since "Romming" the phone, I've had no problems.

A few other things to point out.

The weight. While the phones are only a few grams different, the Sensation does feel much heavier. This is because HTC love to use metal, which has a benifit. It feels far more sturdier than the SGS2.

Thickness. Again attributed to the metalic casing of the XE, but only about 2 mm, barely noticable you'd think, but it is very obvious side-by-side.

GSM/3G radio No noticable difference while using on 3 and Meteor in Ireland. However in Netherlands very noticable difference, Vodafone on both phones. The XE was only very slightly weaker in 1 location than the Samsung.

WiFi My Friends with the Plain Sensation have had issues with their phones but on my XE version, I've actually achieved better and faster speeds on both a G and N network.

What others say OK OK, owning a gorgeous phone is one thing, but we all deep down like to show off now and then :) In my experience the few people whom I allowed to even hold my phones remarked that the XE felt sturdier, where as the Samsung felt "plastic-y" More people liked the XE's styling, (though personally I prefer the simple and elegant SGS2).

Camera I really couldn't care about this, no-one, in Europe at least, uses Video calling (that's soooo 2003 :D) and for photos I prefer a proper camera, with proper lenses...who really uses a phone for real "photography"??

Overall I like both phones, but if HTC could load up an XE with an AMOLED screen, It'd be my one and only phone :)
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
1) Nope. The original Sensation has the same SoC as the XE and the original Sensation is underclocked.

2) Thankfully this hasn't happened to me.

3 and 4) I can't testify for either of these since I've only got hold of an S2 for like a few minutes :p

5) I have about 50 user apps tops and I store all of them in the internal memory and I still have around 650MB+ free. I put everything else in my microSD card.

Hi Guys,

Trying to have an initial dabble into Android.

I am trying to follow the advice by cyanogen here .

When I try to install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse I get the following error.

I have tried installing it from

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

and

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

And I have downloaded the jar file and tried to install it locally.

Every time I get the same error.

I have installed Eclipse JDT etc. via the Mint Software manager.

Any ideas please?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
Guys,

I downloaded the nAa kernel file (.zip) and i couldnt find the .ftf file in it. Which is the only thing that we have to use for flashing the kernel. Am i missing any thing? or are there any other download link. Please help.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
ZIP? What file have you been downloading?

--> http://minicm.googlecode.com/files/E15_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11.ftf

The link, copied out of nAa's OP post of his thread, clearly links to a FTF - not a ZIP.

You now got the FTF or did your browser download a ZIP again?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
This .zip file is the .ftf file but with changed filetype. Simply change the filetype manualy and everything will be ok ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
Hey thanks man.. can i go ahead and flash this kernel file? i am just asking agian to ensure that i dont brick my phone ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
i am downloading the file from the nAa post where its mentioned to download the .ftf file here.. however which i click on it, it will download the zip file where i see one folder and two other files but no ftf file. So should i change the file type from .zip to .ftf?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
yes. i had this problem problem too :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spevky:
just rename it... and at the end set .ftf
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daveee10:
dont worry.... don't make brick... If kernel is incorrect, flashtool drop error, and no change... The ftf extension is uncompressed zip... simply rename ftf, and flash with flashtool... The extension change is browser bug... I see the bug in Opera... If installed winzip, or winrar, and download a file with non zip or rar extension, but filetype is zip or rar, teh browser rename it...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
WRONG! A FTF (FlashToolFirmware) bundle actually IS a compressed and signed ZIP file carrying a .ftf extension instead of .zip. It's the same as a APK being a ZIP (sometimes even signed) carrying compiled data inside or as a Java JAR being a ZIP carrying Java classes and stuff inside.

All of them are ZIPs, hence COMPRESSED!

You may want to add Internet Explorer to that list ... the 2nd most stupid browser right behind that thing from that Norwegian drama queens who will happily ***** about competition to the EU trade commission.

First make sure you've unlocked your BL...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daveee10:
@B.Jay:

Sorry. You're right. The FTF is signed file, and a ZIP archive, but the compression level is zero. Far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong, because, i don't know all, but willing to learn the more... :)

I don't know people why use the IE... That a dead browser... Almost nothing is not supported
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
They use IE to download another browser :P Sorry for OT :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
Yes, thanks. I have done that :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
Thanks every one.. it was the Opera which converted the .ftf to .zip.. I opened the link with IE and i did get the .ftf file.. Thanks every one for help :) I have flashed the nAa Kernel... ;) but why i am not able to see the kernel version on my device in the settings?:confused: and i am not able to mount my SD card. Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As I wrote in the other thread of yours...

GingerDX is not meant to work with nAa's Kernel.

nAa's Kernel is meant for MiniCM7 (and other custom ROMs based thereon also requiring nAa's Kernel to operate). In there you will find the missing settings.

GingerDX is meant to work on Stock Kernel (with the Stock Kernel Modules AddOn), LinuxDX (the Kernel made by doixanh) and Alfs (the Kernel made by alfsamsung).
[General Questions and Answers] brucem76:
While navigating the hboot menus on my HTC Desire S, 2.3.5 Stock, Sense 3.0, I accidentaly pressed "simlock|"

It reported:

FAT32 init OK

Open MCCMNC file fail

Open CID file fail

It has definitely messed something up: my phone boots, accepts my SIM pin, unlocks my SIM, displays my Mobile Provider as one of the network options to connect to, but fails to register with the network every time.

So it doesn't mention that the phone is locked, or ask me to enter an unlock code or anything... but the sim that was previously working is now not working at all...

Any ideas? Will an RUU or anything get my phone back to a working unlocked state?
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
First of all I would try this: remove SIM card, SD card and battery (everything actually), put them back and reboot the phone to see what happen.

As the last resort, If you don't mind reinstall all your apps and data (it will erase everything), you could simply execute and hard reset:

http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc...77971/how_to_hard_reset_the_htc_desire_s.html
[General Questions and Answers] brucem76:
Thanks - did that - but no luck - the phone totally reverted to factory settings, but the SIM is still not registering on the network... it seems a change has taken place at an even lower level...
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
The error that you wrote gives you "fail". Doesn't look like it has been done something to the phone.

Do you have any other option in hboot?

How about turn off the radio a couple of times (airplane mode) then reboot?

I found this by the way:

http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/05...not-allow-a-connection-to-this-network-error/

I remember I solve it by playing with airplane mode and turn off the phone few times, with my friend Desire S.
[General Questions and Answers] brucem76:
It definitely did something - for 4 hours, no ability to get onto mobile network. Seems it mayt have actually modified the SIM card. I managed to get it working again - I put the SIM in another phone, booted, and then put it back in my phone and it's working again - do you think that's possibly what fixed it?
[General Questions and Answers] ExMM:
Could it be.. you never know..

That's interesting thus, looks like the SIM card got somehow "resetted" by the other phone.

I'll keep this in mind for the future. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bienvenu01:
Hello,

I'm new in this forum and also in the smart phone area.I'd like to submit my problems, and enjoy your advices.I am in China,and recently purchased a HTC HTC EVO 3D type X515m WCDMA.

Problem 1: After I installed android market from apk (I thought it should be installed!), can not download any application.Android market closes just after download start and I have got this following message: "The Market application (process com. android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close ".

Unable to download through PC. Help!!

Problem 2: I wanted to root my phone for use some applications but the phone should be S-off (this is the same meaning as unlocking the phone? Or unlock the bootloader?). My HBOOT is 1.49.0018.I've heard about change of CID( what it is and where and how to found it?), about downgrade my HTC.

I do not know where to start!

Thank you in advance for your answers.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
Well the android market comes installed by default, so it seems you installed a market that isn't for your phone. It sounds like you're going to have to do a factory reset. Don't install apks from the web for apps that come preinstalled on your phone.

As for your second problem, I can't help you, I'm on Sprint in the US, but I bet there's threads in the GSM development section for the Evo 3D detailing how you can obtain s-off and root access.
[HD2 General] B3N0S:
Hey guys just wondering if there is anybody in Melbourne or Australia or anywhere for that matter that may have a old broken HD2 (preferably T9193) that i might be able to use for spares ?? I currently have one and have dropped it and now it's colours are up the sh*t i have done a screen and digitizer replacement and without any luck the problem still persists any ideas would also be greatly appreciated :D

Ps. if i twist the phone in oposite directions the problem goes away which leads me to believe that something has come away from the board itself i have looked and cant see a thing any suggestion would be greatly appreciated :cool:
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Maybe mainboard connector, have you tried applying pressure to connector socket/ribbon with it stripped but screen, mainboard rigged up with battery & bench test it while applying pressure to mainboard connector/ribbon with insulated/earthed tool.

maybe abble to fix it if can find out exact point of problem but most HD2 faults need replacement parts to cure faults long term ...

What are a good durable pair of headphones for running?
[General Accessories] iphoneking83:
Skullcandy's are always duriable and sound great!
[General Accessories] D2Dchris:
No skullcandy's aren't great at all!

I can't agree with that. Have you ever compared a skullcandy headphone to some other headphones in the same price range? It's just a good brandname but it has no sound quality.

For running i would recommend a bluetooth headset (dispite the lose of sound quality). I would recommend the AKG K830BT. I tested this with some other BT-headphones from philips, sony and sennheiser. I was overwhelmed by the amazing sound that came from the AKG headphone! Never imagined it would be posible to get such great music quality over bluetooth.
[General Accessories] jonas2295:
Beats by Dr dre :) but quality increases the price..
[General Accessories] Rom-Addict:
Koss plug, sound great and are cheap ......,..

[General Accessories] thebigcheese44:
I wouldn't use full headphones for running. Use plugs. But, Sony's Studios are pretty good, and you can get them for like 20 bucks at an electronic store near you ;)
[General Accessories] seejoshplay:
I love my Klipsch S4a image for general listening, and i go with seinheiser addidas (whichever one you like) for running.

Klipsches are great for the money.
[General Accessories] rizdog23:
Get Sennheiser CX250's....i believe thats the number at least...they are supposed to be 90 bucks but for some reason FYE sells them for 20. I have those and Beats In-Ears and I can attest that they are almost identical in terms of quality/bass/loudness, but for a fraction of the price.
[General Accessories] thr33s1xthr33:

Not a bad price either considering they're what nearly all sound engineers use, you've probs seen camera men using them on tv
[General Accessories] TommUK:
Klipsche, as said before are great, I owned a pair of S4's and they were very good for my morning runs as they are so small yet have a great fit

However, they somewhat lacked in sound quality, I opted for a pair of Zion midnight earphones from the New Marley range for $130 CND dollars and these do the job for me, also the Braided lead eliminates that 'thudding' sound when hitting against you during a run.

[General Accessories] rcmestrinho:
Sennheiser and Beats by Dr. Dre. Any brand is a great choice!

Don't have a specific recommendation but I'm against buying these brands, brands I feel spend more on advertisement, style, and status than r&d.

1. Bose

2. Beats

3. Skullcandy

Beats are horrible for the price.

Skullcandy in general is horrible.

Bose is overpriced Hype.

Check Head-fi.org for real headphones.

I have Beyerdynamics 880 250ohm, they sound great but are not for portable use.

I have some budget portable headphones from monoprice.

Check out these reviews. I personally love the $7.11 8320s. The DJ headphones are nice but they can't compare to my Beyerdynamic 880.

[General Accessories] Skv012a:
Sony PIIQ line, almost any Shure buds, V-Moda. I'd go for a cheap pair if I were you, just so you don't cry over it when it breaks.
[General Accessories] gullz:
Koss Porta Pro is the best headphone I had so far. Further more it's classic. ;)
[General Accessories] Kaasrol:
Skullcandy? Bose? Beats?

Are you trolling?

It all depends on what you want for a sound. For all-around sounds I'd advise you to get Sennheiser cx300s, they're all-around ok.

If you don't care about spending a bit more money I'd recommend you to check out head-fi.org, they're the pros and can give you more in-depth advice.
[General Accessories] KindofBlues71:
Another vote for checking head-fi but you can easily get lost on that site with all the recommendations and cool stuff available to audiophiles. If you're running anywhere with even light traffic I wouldn't use "traditional" headphones or IEMs (In Ear Monitors) because you won't hear any outside noise. Personally, I'd go with some earbuds and read the reviews on head-fi to help decide which ones.
[General Accessories] Bunglechunk:
I use Sony Ericsson MW-600 Bluetooth Headset and have done for about 3 years now with no problems or complaints.

Can't really be beaten on price or quality.
[General Accessories] deeken:
I completely agree. Beats and Bose headsets are grossly overpriced headsets that are catered towards the naive (sucker) clientele that believes he/she is getting a high quality product. If people took the time to research Beats and Bose they will find out that these companies spend millions on advertising to create a false sense of "quality product".

Buying a pair of Bose or Beats headsets is like buying a pair of Air Jordans. People buy them to be seen in them. You are not getting what you pay for. There are MUCH better headsets out there that cost a fraction less.
[General Accessories] smacko:
after owning a few different pairs of sennheiser headphones, i made the switch to ear-canal phones and couldn't be happier.. i have a pair of Shure and Nuforce. They are a lot more comfortable for long term use and isolate sounds much better... i'd recommend giving them a go!
