Was just getting ready to reply to the OP. I can confirm 62mbps down in good ole houston tx. Pretty badass.

Simlar speeds in Baltimore

LTE speeds around Baltimore, MD have been pretty similar since I got the skyrocket back in November. Tests over the past few months have been in between 50-60Mbps down, 12-15Mbps up. I'd post a picture but it's telling I can't until I post 8 times since I'm a new member. I get better LTE reception around the edges of the city and it drops to HSPA+ sometimes in the center of the city.

44 down. 23 up just outside of Boston.
[General Questions and Answers] Albert-79:
since I registered because i have a question about this i don't have 10 posts.

But i followed this guide: "[NAND][BETA] Replace Windows Mobile with Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod7.1 [1s March 2012]"

And call me stupid but i'm stuck.

I did the fastboot part first with the .bat and later with command using

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

"Fastboot reboot"

I then thought...Wow this really works until my phone hangs at;

- android_usb gadget: high speed config #1: android.

and it won't go any further untill I remove the usb cable, then it does something until it hangs again at;

- msm72k_udc: usb_ept_queue_xfer() called while offline

When I place the usb back into the phone it hangs at the first one again.

This is without SD

At last i rebooted the phone again WITH SD and it hangs at

-adb_open

then when i stick the usb in it goes on until

- android_usb gadget: high speed config #1: android.

when i pull it out again it says

-msm_hsusb_phy_reset: succes

Can someone help me with this please?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Zercher:
CWM (Indirect's Nook Tab Flasher) Internal will not mount SD card; however the SD Card version will mount the exact same card that the internal version won't mount (Just to keep it straight, the SD card with CWM boot is a different card then the card that will and won't mount. I take the CWM boot card out). To me, this implies that the card is formatted correctly. It is the same 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk card that I use in the tablet on a daily basis.

I have also tried manually mounting the SD card in CWM Internal. Will not mount.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct in assuming the card is formatted correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Edit--Solved--The problem occured because I was using QuickBoot to go into Recovery (CWM). I decided to turn my NT off and use Power + N. CWM booted, saw the SD Card and I was able to Backup.

OEM meens Orginal equipment manufacturer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer

Those batteries seems to bee a little too sheep to bee OEM batteries in my opinion, but who knows....

I bought an OEM battery and OEM charger stand for 44$ the battery cost 31,99 for the battery and it was real OEM.

If it is through ebay u can open a dispute ebay will have u covered from there with either get the refund for u or refund u out of their own pocket and the seller will probably be in deep shiat if they value their account and reputation
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
Those are dirt cheap, I doubt they're legit. Especially for 2! They're probably not Samsung official, but something very similar. I don't know... I have a pet peeve for these kinds of things. I only trust the original batteries, mugen, and seidio.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] leletyM3:
For that price I don't think they are originals. My friend got a set and they last less than the real ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ak3dgfx:
I'll go against the grain

They are from Hong Kong so that will go some way to explaining the cheap price. I bought two genuine Samsung 2500mah batteries off a UK seller for £5.99 each including shipping.

Batteries are cheap these days
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Flaco05:
I've been burned by buying eBay stuff advertised as OEM. Don't believe a word those guys are saying, especially if it's suspiciously cheap. I think what they really mean is "OEM equivalent," and we know how much meaning that really carries.,,,
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
Just to make things clear, I've not got the Sensation ICS upgrade yet - but I've become a lot less enthusiastic about it after seeing the screenshots.

To me, it still looks almost identical. Under the hood I'm sure the changes are numerous. And sure there are some changes to some aspects of the GUI, but it's really not the wholesale change that stock ICS brought in with the nice cool blue holo theme on the Galaxy Nexus. I know HTC want the differentiation in their handsets, but I have to say, for the first time in my Android life, I'm thinking about rooting and whether my next Android phone will be an HTC at all....

It just looks a bit tired and dated. The HTC One X looks nice on paper (although I wish it had the AMOLED screen of the S), but the screenshots when it shows the software are making me yawn.

I'm interested to hear if others feel the same or whether they are still excited about the upgrade. Maybe it's just me!?!

Anyway, I'm off to read about rooting :) I'd be interested to hear what you think the best ICS ROMs are.
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
And it's going to be exactly the same with other manufacturer phones too such as samsung who will do the same and put their software on top.

It brings a lot of nice little changes does ICS and definitely worth the upgrade. If you didn't want Sense then get an AOSP rom installed or buy a pure android phone.

Sense is very good though and feel it adds a lot to the phone that stock android can't do.

Phil
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
Thanks for your reply Phil. I must admit, I was hoping the SGS3 wouldn't have too much crap put on it - it could well be my next phone if it's relatively "clean".

Before ICS, I completely agree - Sense added a lot for me and made the whole system consistent and a pleasure to use. But since getting an Asus Transformer Prime and having stock ICS (pretty much), I've realised that as of ICS, there isn't really anything that Sense adds for me anymore. Google has basically implemented all the Sense stuff I liked, and has moved the interface on at the same time (which HTC doesn't seem to be doing).

Of course, this is all personal opinion....

Thanks for the heads up on AOSP. I think I need to read up on how to do it and what kind of stability it has on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
This is what I thought as well. The UI changes are minimal. A few changes here and there, and everything looks more minimalistic. I was very excited about the new lock screen on Android, but we didn't even get that :( What I do like, though is how much faster the phone is now, and the face unlock screen is awesome.

However, I will never ever use a custom rom on this. Def not worth shortening it's life-cycle.
[HTC Sensation] moshbeard:
I like Sense but it's not very well integrated with ICS, it seems a lot more disjointed than it was with Gingerbread. I'm considering just going with stock ICS for the consistency.

I don't like a lot of the changes to Sense such as the quick launch bar thing on the home screen, I much preferred it before. The shots of Sense on the One X look a hell of a lot nicer though so hopefully that'll make me happy.
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
different people have different tastes.

while ics might not be so captivating to some, but others look at it as a huge step forward from gingerbread. i personally dont look at ui changes and other personalization stuff. i decide to buy or not based on the hardware. OP said the one X is not as impressive as the one S. (if that's what the S stands for) but if u look deeper, one X only hoists tegra 3 while the one S has qualcomms latest krait s4 which is obviously faster than tegra 3. but screens aside, the one S dont amuse me at all. it only has a crappy pentile matrix which carries images that are not so sharp and sometimes blurred edges..

that said, different people has different tastes..
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
really? what was the need to create this useless thread? this is a development web-site/forum that is geared towards tweaking the stock stuff to come up with something different.

are you giving us a favor by rooting or what's the point here? you're not happy with HTC's version of android? go get a different branded phone or an iphone in that case.

this *****ing and moaning is off the gum-line recently. i'm still on a gb build and patiently waiting for the final release. will it be all that great? i don't think so, but has there ever been a "perfect" anything?

your whole post should have stopped right there, where you're missing a period...
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Explain please??? How does using a custom rom shorten the life cycle?????

Can you explain how sense is not integrated? If anything, it seems better than GB...

I really think ICS is one of those things you really need to experience and try it before voicing your opinions on it. I didn't think I'd like it as it looked ugly in pictures, but I can't imagine going back to GB now that I've been using it.

I'll ask my question again as I've never heard this ever, how does anybody think using a custom rom will shorten your phone's life??????
[HTC Sensation] bobdelt:
Just use nova launcher.

I think the ICS upgrade has been awesome so far. I isntalled a script to "remove sense" that was in the android revolution thread in the development section, and it's been great. HTC theme is still there (just no sense launcher/lock screen), and I use the nova lock screen and it seems to me, to be better than stock android in this configuration.

The phone's faster, the chrome browser is great, nova launcher is awesome. I was looking forward to a new phone, but not anymore. The new ones coming out arent that much better.
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
When I was talking about the S being better - I meant the AMOLED screen - and that alone. I can't use the Sensation as a bedside clock because of light bleed, but my old Desire with the AMOLED screen was great at this. The colours were also really vibrant - although a bit less realistic.
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
Actually the development bit would be Sensation Android Development forum. This bit is called Sensation General which is described as: "Discussion about HTC Sensation (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)". The "general chat" bit should give it away if that wasn't clear enough for you.

I'm not "giving you a favor" (whatever that means). And as I said, I may well get another brand of phone - I actually wrote that in my original post. The point of the post was simply to gauge peoples reaction to HTCs efforts in porting ICS - as per the "general discussion" which this forum is designed for.

Thanks for your kind words. Welcome to the block list. Troll.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
It means that if you use a custom rom that is not stable, and it overclocks your phone, the hardware will not function properly for as long as it would with stock rom. If anything is incorrectly "set" it will cause problems with the hardware, and this will eventually damage it. This doesn't concern leaked stock roms.

I've flashed my previous model as it was so cheap anyway,but with $400 phone I will not take the risk.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
The Super LCD2 in the one X is better than the super amoled in the GNex! Search YouTube for one X vs GNex. The super LCD 2 is full RGB not pentile 720p display ( ips technology) with excellent viewing angles and vibrant colours. Watch some reviews and you will see what I'm talking about. I was a fan of Super Amoled until I saw the display of the one X.
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
the sensation is proven to have 2 different screen manufacturers, one better than the other
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
But you don't have to overclock, it's in your control with apps like SetCPU etc. Anyway, it'll only decrease the life if you leave it on a very high clock speed for a long period of time, basically, you'll have likely upgraded/lost/broken your phone before overclocking kills it from what I understand.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Yeah but how many of these people REALLY keep an eye on the phone's hardware and keep changing the cpu settings back and forth? I would guess not too many, unless you know what you're doing. I'm not claiming that overclocking will kill your phone instantly or anything like that.. It'd take months, or even years till that happened (depending on how high you've set it).

But even still, for some models there are some experimental / unfinished roms that have loads of bugs; the phone screen keeps flashing, it reboots randomly etc.. I cannot help but think this cannot be good for the hardware.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Keep an eye on the hardware as in check whether it's overheating or feeling too warm?

You don't need need to change the CPU settings back and forth though, they can just be set to Max 1600MHz and a Min of 384MHz and then select 'Set on Boot'.

True, those probably aren't great for the hardware but who would (or even could) use those kind of Pre-Alpha ROM's for more than a day even?
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I have never heard of a single case of somebody shortening the life of their phone because they rooted and used a custom rom. I know people have bricked their phones in the ATTEMPT to to root or flash a new rom, but that's not the same thing. I just don't buy your theory, sorry. As for the OP, if you don't like ICS because you've used it for a week and prefer GB, that's good. But if you don't like it because of what you've HEARD or read, that's just pointless, as others here have already posted.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
you're so full of fail... this whole forum, as in xda-developers.com is a place for, you guessed it - developers. I don't think chatting about something you haven't even tried counts ;)

you made it sound like it was a huge deal to root a phone, and now, for the first time in your life, you're going to go ahead and start reading about it. We already have numerous threads that deal with "reactions." How can you even have a "reaction" to something you haven't tried?

boo-boo-ka-ka
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
Honestly, I've used every version of sense... 1.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, AND 4. Sure, 4 is great. I do like it, it's a lot simpler than the others. (HTC said they felt Sense became bloated themselves.) However, I do believe that Sense 3.6 is a very nice version of Sense. It's not at all disjointed in my opinion like I have seen others say, I mean... compared to Sense 2.1 maybe... BUT Sense 2.1 didn't have any of the 3D or extra gloss that 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6 have. I feel that they really redesigned the Sense interface rather well for ICS and they integrated all of the things from the previous builds that made Sense great, plus some. I was actually thinking if 4.0 came out for Sensation I might even stay with 3.6 because it's a well built, stable version of Sense. They did a great job with the new button sliders, the new notification area looks, etc. I love it over GB Sense.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
I'm not trying to sell anything, so I don't really care if you buy my theory (that isn't even mine nor a theory lol). I said nothing about rooting, as that's perfectly harmless. Just common sense, but as always, do what you want with your device. :)
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
Thanks, I checked it out and you're right, it's a significantly better screen than the one in my Sensation. As someone else said, there is more than one manufacturer for Sensation screens so maybe I've got one of the poorer ones. It will be interesting to see how black the blacks are in a darkened room. The screen on my Desire had fantastic "pop" to it.
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
I think you've misunderstood what I was getting at. I DO like ICS, I like it very much (and I'm typing this on a tablet running ICS), but from the screenshots I've seen of ICS+Sense, it doesn't look like it will feel different to GB. Of course I'd rather have ICS over GB, it's just what HTC have done with it which I feel is a little disappointing. In other words, take the difference from GB to ICS (stock) and compare that to the difference between GB and ICS with Sense - purely from an aesthetics point of view. You'd be hard pushed to notice the differences in the latter, the GUI is very similar. It's not about what I've read or heard, there are plenty of videos and photos online of ICS HTC devices like the One series.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
The OP is right, even if he hasnt tried the "official" release. Sense based ICS ROMs are virtually indistinguishable from GB ones. Its almost a pointless upgrade since the majority of the features and functions of ICS are covered up by a dated and very bloated Sense. If people like using a phone that feels a few years old, by all means upgrade to a sense based "ICS" ROM. If however, you want to actually get the true feel and functionality that Google intended stay far, FAR away from anything running Sense. Its a shame that HTC decided to layer a few hundred (600Mb if I recall) Mb of garbage on top of a perfectly good OS. At the end of the day people who like sense might as well be using a iphone as it is nothing more than battery hogging eye candy. Since the true AOSP ROMs are still really buggy my suggestion is to try HyperNonSense. Basically everything but the Sense camera has been removed, and all the awful Sense menus have been replaced with the stock ones. The ROM is now under 100Mb, and its as close to getting rid of Sense as you can get at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] tifosi256:
Don't get me wrong - I was a huge fan of Sense - it's just that since ICS, it feels like it has kinda run it's course. Google have taken the good bits from Sense and moved the GUI to a new level, and I feel that personally, the rest of Sense isn't worth it anymore. Under the hood, I'm sure ICS will be an improvement over GB on Sensation hardware. But outward appearance will have little difference. Maybe I'm a sucker for the cool blues rather than greens :)
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
No, you are 100% correct. In fact, Google has now mandated that going forward all phones running Android need to meet certain specific requirements due to all the crap carriers/manufacturers haven been adding on (cough, SENSE, cough...). Google says its to stop the "fracturing" of the Android OS and to give users a "consistent" experience. Regardless of the reason, within the next 12 to 18 months the majority of these terrible overlays (Sense, Touchwiz, etc) will be going away. Basically Google will only allow carriers/manufactures to add 'themes' to the base OS, which should really help get some better devices on the market. People who want dated software, useless animations, and 5 hour battery life need not worry, as Apple will certainly be churning out devices for you!
[HTC Sensation] goggi10:
me too

In this update u whant se much another Android version wich is nicer the biggest disapoitment is because we will not recive sens 4.0. And our devices are capable on runing it. I cant wait to developer do thier magic and they will port fully working sens 4.0 in maybe one month or less
[HTC Sensation] smatthew45:
i personally love sense cuz of its lockscreen, in fact that's probably why i won't ever leave sense, ever since sense 3.0 its been fully functional, not just the basic unlock crap, i can actually have useful shortcuts, brilliant if you ask me

also with ics, htc has finally gotten rid of that useless dock in favor of a more practical and useful 4 app dock, everything seems better with ics sense than with gb sense

and if you don't like something, root it and change it, after all that's the whole point in this community is it not? to customize your device and make it look how you want it to, that simple...

About ICS:

open 1080p high bitrate file @ 2.3.4/2.3.5

flash ICS

try to do it again, watch the results and have fun. :/

I was on 3 ICS roms and 5-6 GB roms. In 720p/1080 high bitrate movies - GB knocks out ICS in every aspect of framerate and playback smoothness. HTC what da f***?
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Mine sharing a link where it states from GOOGLE that this is true? Cause from what I remember reading, Google is going to require manufactures bundle the ICS stock theme in the build. Sense, Touchwiz, all those UI aren't going the way of the dodo bird. It's in Google's best interest.

http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/03/ho...sure-ui-integrity-on-all-android-4-0-devices/

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-can-stop-skins-from-messing-with-their-apps/

Now I know what you're thinking. And you can just drop it right now. Google went out of their way to pour cold water on the idea of a full-on skin lockout:

We have no desire to restrict manufacturers from building their own themed experience across their devices.

Darn. Manufacturer skins will still be around, but developers can opt to not let them touch their apps. On the plus side though, updates for OEMs should be a little easier (and hopefully, faster):

So yeah, you're comment was pretty stupid and idiotic.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Yep, it's just the Holo theme that's required, OEM's can still install their custom UI's but Holo is mandatory.

[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Does stock ics feature the same level of contact integration as sense?

I've tried using the senseless Roms (which are closeto aosp but not completely) and it didn't seem to and I would have had to manually link most of them.

Also I love the way sense allows you to view social info and albums etc from the one place.
[HTC Sensation] emperorsuresh:
My neighbor and I bought the Sensation on the same day last year. Last month, he went on a trip overseas, and in the meantime, there were all these 3.6 based RIMs that started appearing on XDA. The flashoholic that I am, I've not had the same ROM on my phone for the last one month.

My neighbor returned yesterday, and he had with him his phone with sense 3 gb.

I showed him the new ic 5.1.3 on my phone. He asked me if it offered anything new. I ran thru the features in my mind. "Phonecalls, photographs, GPS, music player, videos, games. Hmmm... Nothing in it that sense 3.0 doesn't". All I could come up with was, "hey, this runs Chrome Beta".

Not to disappoint the marvelous developers and their legions of fans... There needs to be some differentiator. Maybe the phone's better off with gb. :confused:
