I used Talkatone as well with my last phone. It was the only solution that worked reliably with that POS phone. But the Sensation's native SIP client works just great, so I've been using that.

On my first charge with the Anker battery, I've logged 8h11m so far, with the screen using 53% (1h29m), voice calls at 8% (7m), and 41m of music streaming over 4g. Lots of screen+4g usage from my extended lunch break today.

Still at 41% so far. I did notice that it stuck at 100% for over an hour off the charger today, and then dropped very slowly until I started using the phone. Is this typical of the Anker battery? Not calibrated yet? Or is it really that battery conserving when in wifi calling + sip mode when there's no major partial/kernel wakelocks in effect?

Need to find a screenshot taking program sometime, or upgrade to a ROM that has native support, preferably from the power menu.

That won't allow you to switch up to 4g to take the call though. Don't think latency with EDGE will be completely acceptabel for voip.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
I use pbxes and Google and get about 8 he's of battery and then switch it out unless I go out
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
ouch, craven. That must be a ton of usage too?? I hammered my phone fairly hard (as hard as I ever normally would without knowing I'll have access to a charge or have extra batteries on hand).

13h with 2h screen time/data usage, half an hour of streaming music, half an hour of sip calls, and am at 18% on the first charge of an Anker battery.

I think I might be able to live with that. Will try to see how it does with wifi off and sip set to receive calls, all without much screen usage. Most likely will need to wait until honeymoon period is over.

How much drain does wifi on have? How about wifi on but no connection? Haven't installed any battery/wakelock monitoring apps yet in case they affect actual results without them.
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
What sip service do you guys use, I use grrove ip but I'd prefer to use a native app, links? :D

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Native app as in the internet calling feature of android starting with 2.3. It's a native sip client, so you'd need sip service that's trunked to Google Voice.

I've been using a pbxes account with great success recently, although I'm looking to implement my own server soon with some added perks.

The easiest way to setup a free pbxes account is to download sipdroid and use that app to sign up for a pbxes account. The free pbxes account is technically not supposed to allow trunking google voice, so this is one way of getting it to work.

Once you sign up with sipdroid, you can delete the client and use the native client. Or you could install csipsimple, a much better client than sipdroid. You could play with your pbxes account and setup hold music, etc (native client does not support hold, but csipsimple should).

You will need to login to your pbxes account and fill in your personal information or they will delete your account after a week.

There are other solutions as well. Let me know how it works.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Well I switch out battery cuz I need alarm in am lol scared it won't be on lol ill run from wake up till night and post info
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
Thanks for the suggestion, however when I install sipdroid I am not given the option for pbxes on the bottom, Ive tried different versions on my old gb phone any ideas on how I can get this to work or where else to get a sip account?

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
My friend just tried this and it still works. It might not say pbxes on the bottom but there should be a button to sign up on the bottom of the sipdroid app?
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
Not for me ill give it a few more tries tomorrow

I just installed sipdroid on my sensation. There's a button on the main screen that says "New PBX linked to my Google Voice"

This is version 2.6 beta from the market. i-p-tel gmbh

Looks like they've improved the app recently. Wonder how it compares to csipsimple now.

An Honest rant from an android lover:

So the GSIII was announced today and my first reaction when I saw the pictures was “oh god please let this be a joke” (P.S you’ll hear me comparing the GSIII to the One X a lot in this post, but that is because that’s another top dog of android right now.) This is my opinion about the GSIII. Yes it is true I do not have the device, but this is my reaction to the press shoots.

Some of the things that ticked me off the most:

The super ugly looking camera on the back, I don’t care much it freaking looks like a pebble. It’s my phone, not a freaking rock use to throw at someone. The GSII camera looked great; the nexus S camera look great, even the galaxy nexus camera look pretty decent. That freaking ugly looking lump of cancer just looks horrible. Take a look at the HTC one X camera; it looks great even if it sticks out a bit. Putting the speaker phone next to the camera? Seriously? I understand symmetry is important but that is just stupid (and did I mention it looks ugly?).

The long home button is a disaster. I don’t need a long home button; my fingers are not that fat. That thing sticks out like a sore thumb, an ugly cancer ridden sore thumb.

No on screen buttons

I never understood the point of soft touch buttons. Ever since I got my first android device I question the point of soft touch buttons. It’s not like one can physically feel them. From what I understand, why anyone would put soft touch keys in the days of 4.0 is to increase the usable screen size. But you screwed that up too. What is up with that space between the button and the screen? That just adds to the length of the phone. The One X has soft keys, but its evenly spaced and not a mile away from the screen. It also doesn’t stick out its home button.

That plastic looking shell is ugh… god save me. If HTC can do polycarbonate shell, why can’t you Samsung? Huh?

Everything an android specs geek loves in an ugly shell.

microSD, removable battery, NFC, Quad core processor, wireless charging, big screen with 720p display, thin and light weight. It’s (almost) everything anyone can ask for, but dammit Samsung the thing is ugly.

I never thought I would be the one to hate on the GSIII. As a proud owner of the Galaxy Nexus, I’m truly disappointed.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
The camera isn't that ugly. It's alright.

I do agree on the spacing of the home button. It's just to much space that could have been removed or used for screen size

No need for a new thread, there's plenty of righteous hatred here already
[Galaxy S III General] lamenramen:
Strong opinion follows:

Wow, shocked.

The Galaxy SIII uses a pentile matrix, while the SII does not. The HTC One X does not either. The presence of a pentile matrix is something that most people dislike, for those who are new to the terms. It refers to a for lack of a better term, pixelated effect/screen door/slightly blurry/piezzo electric type of effect. People have a hard time describing it, but know it when they see it.

The HTC One X, a direct competitor to the S3, is receiving heaps of praise for its screen. In fact, many sites are calling it the nicest screen that they have ever seen on a smartphone (Anandtech and many other reputable sites).

I have seen the HTC One X, and it is without a doubt the nicest screen that I have ever seen as well. The iPhone 4/4S is STILL equally good, but it's just that it's 3.5 inches.

Anyway, I can not believe that Samsung would seemingly go backwards. In choosing the pentile matrix, which even before today had clearly been positioned as a less expensive screen, Samsung has sealed the One X as the phone to get for smartphone afficionados. Maybe not for the general public, but in my informal testing, everyone has noticed the pentile matrix.

As you can tell, I really loathe the pentile matrix, even at 1280x720p. I've used an iPhone before, so maybe I am spoiled, but I don't think it's too demanding to ask for a nice screen if you're willing to pay for a flagship device. After all, these devices are 90% screen. It's what you stare at and what you touch all day. I've also felt that the Samsung screens are too vibrant (not a big deal to me), but also too dim. As such, they probably could get better battery life purely b/c the max nits in the SII was only 300 nits vs 500 nits for the iphone 4 and one x.

Maybe Samsung has something else up its sleeve, but the S3 is to me no longer the phone to get. The One X with the Snapdragon 4 is definitely the way to go.

For Samsung's sake I hope that they did some market research regarding the effect of a pentile display on their flagship phone before deciding to cut corners.

I was all over the Galaxy Nexus until I saw the pentile. Waited for the S3 b/c surely that would have a premium display.

Sorry, self edit: there are more important things in life, but not as far as smartphones go :>
[Galaxy S III General] Gilg@mesh:
well, I also hoped for non pentile screen but it seems that right now it's not possible to make HD screens with non-pentile, if it was possible to make HD screens with real RGB then they would do that... and the One X use Tegra 3 not S4.
[Galaxy S III General] AllGamer:
if you have used pentile before like on the original SGS1 or the Galaxy Nexus, (old HTC Desire, or several Nokia phones) and you liked it, then you'll love it

if you did not like it back then, you will not like it now, as simple as that.

I was hooked since SGS1
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
its it possible to notice the difference between non pentile and pentile screens at 720p?
[Galaxy S III General] AllGamer:
it's a lot less noticeable, due the smaller concentration of pixels

but people with sensitive eyes for Green / Blue will still get annoyed by the pentile screen purplish, bluish or greenish hue, which i don't see it unless i put the screen 45 degree to the left or to the right
[Galaxy S III General] lamenramen:
My opinion:

Definitely noticeable by everyone. Without question.

What varies is how much the effect bothers you, but will you see it, yes. Even on a 720p display.

If they made two identical versions of the S3, one with and one without the pentile, and cost was identical, service plan was identical, and let people see both before buying, my thinking is that 10 out of 10 people would choose the S3 without a pentile matrix.
[Galaxy S III General] awesome-member:
yes it is at a close distance. it sounds all good in spec but at rendering videos i don't know why Samsung always gets it wrong with pentile display. every time its supercurio who we have to turn to due to Samsung's incompitance.
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
Took the words right out of my mouth.
[Galaxy S III General] skr_xd:
Deal breaker. Check in galaxy note forum for pentile screen issues, banding & black clipping/distortion in videos.

I.switched to one x from note especially for black clipping in videos.

For info, Note is also using pentile hd screen.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
why not wait for an official review/comparison before judging by ourselves?
[Galaxy S III General] olyloh6696:
Major killer point for the SGS3 IMO. Not impressed with Samusng. So much hype for this phone. And it disappoints.
[Galaxy S III General] GuestK00431:
Its not Samsung who dissapoint its the press and fans who do that for themselves. Same thing happens with Apple for each iPhone. This phone will sell in the millions regardless, its the iPhone of the Android world now.
[Galaxy S III General] webjunky:
i think if the One X hade a removable batterie and a SD Card it would be a SGS Killer
[Galaxy S III General] chaki-:
But the One XL uses S4 ;) Just forgot to say it :D
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
This is a super phone. The Note had a great screen. If that's what you call pentile, then it's a great screen
[Galaxy S III General] shadow65781:
I don't notice it.

But some do, they say once you see it, you can't unsee it, but since I don't, it won't be a factor in my decision.
[Galaxy S III General] Jonnyredcorn:
The features of Samsungs touchwiz is what is going to set it apart. I played with a one x today and was sold it is an extremely solid phone, however im gonna wait and see what the AT&T gs3 is like before buying. I also want a phone with a large dev support/community.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
at resolution as high as these, they're not that noticeable

Pixel density is too high

[Galaxy S III General] spridell:
Yes Its on my Tab 7.7

Probably is too expensive.
[HTC One X] the_monolith:
Hi

I've had my HTC One X for amost a month and I absolutely love it.

However, I've encountered a few issues with my phone.

Firstly, whenever I restart my phone or power off and turn it back for some reason the icons of some of the apps that I've added to the homescreen either display the green android icon in its place or the icon of the app is showing what it should but the name underneath the icon disappears. On eway to overcome this problem is to delete the icon from the homescreen and re-add but this becomes a bit tedious after awhile.

The other issue I have is the multitasking. More often than not, when I'm switching between apps it often restarts the app rather than leave it where I left off. This is quite irritating at times. When I had my HTC Desire, which served me well for 2 years, I never had this problem. Apps will stay open and not restart. Is this an ICS, HTC One X or is there something wrong with my phone.

Has anyone else had the two problems that I've outlined.

My phone is Grey, HT23. Fortunately I do not see the corruption banding problem on my screen.

Thanks in advance
