Meh If I was not on sprint I would be on Verizon just for reasons of coverage. Though id love to be back on a GSM carrier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Did T-Mobile cover your needs? If so, just go back to them. I know they're on par with Sprint as far as pricing goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah if I chose a postpaid carrier I would probably go with Verizon for CDMA or T-Mobile for GSM.

For prepaid I would probably go with straight talk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thepickles:
After going through some of the choices I narrowed it down to the following:

HTC rezound

Droid razor max

Tmobile version of this phone

Any others I should be taking a look at? I only root and run vanilla OS.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I would go RAZR MAXX if you dont mind the locked bootloader, just on size and battery life. But being the tinkerer I am I would end up on the GNEX in the current selection sadly.

How about Boost Mobile that way you can still possibly keep your phone. I know they are affiliated with sprint but I don't think they will hate on you because of that. Question what was the reason they terminated your contract?

I pay 106 a month without discounts. Anyone else paying this amount?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
That explains AT&T's higher priced plans. IS that why the OP already called them evil empire.

Definitely find the coverage and plan that fits you but I always tell people to pick the phone that you know you will like. Settling for a device that we use for so many things even before rooting is not going to end well.

Good luck.

At least any of the other major networks will be a huge upgrade over sprint in data speeds. I came to sprint from T mobile and I really regret it. Though I think my sprint phones are awesome, they are crippled by an awful network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
Actually, here's the reason for AT&T's high priced plans. Randall Stephenson compensation Now for a point of reference here is the compensation for the POTUS

Randy had AT&T buy his house when Corporate HQ was moved from San Antonio to Dallas. He and his family enjoy free health care for life.

So who are we supporting through AT&T, the management or workers?

Actually, as a member (unemployed) of local 613, I do understand labor union priorities and politics. I don't have a problem with unions in general but do not for one second proclaim their method of operation as a universal fit for everyone. It isn't.

As someone who is working (cue scary voice) non-union, I shouldn't be criticized for doing what is necessary to provide for my family in both where I work or whose phone service I select. (getting back to the topic of phones)

That attitude is a large part of how Apple operates (trying to stay on topic) and since we are h4x0rs, we must recognize that sometimes the universal fit, is not for us.

Hi

Just installed the Ultima ROM by Riyal and I find that every time I try to open an app in play store (pardon my noobness here, first time android user) after searching, I get a Force Close error....am unable to access any app or download anything from the play store by searching for it, updates to existing apps are working fine though. Any thoughts/help please? I really love the way the phone is working after installing the new ROM but the market not working handicaps me in a major way!:confused:

[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Hey guys!

I'm coming from the T-Mobile LG G2X, and I'm wondering about some things.

In terms of contrast, which phone is better? The Sensation, or the G2X..

(I heard there is 2 different panel, the AUO and the SHARP) Which one is better? Which one have better contrast, and better color?

This processor is a S3, is this S3 similar to the Amaze S3, but the sensation is downclocked which can be OC using a custom kernel.. Am I correct?

Is Qualcomm Snapdragon more open source than Nvidia Tegra 2? One of the reason I'm jumping to the sensation is the Tegra 2 is pretty CLOSED SOURCE.

Edit: How much free ram on ICS do you guys have?

Edit2: I'm getting headaches just by reading how to get S-OFF, CWM, Etc... Anyone wanna simplify it for me?

How to get CWM on it, than install custom ROM (ICS), and than install a custom kernel.... Can I install CWM w/o S-Off?
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Sorry for many questions...

Say I use the HTC Dev unlock..

Can I flash custom rom, custom kernels? Because that is pretty much all I need.

If I use the revolution S-Off, what advantage does that provide? I also saw HBoot 1.27 can not use Recolution S-Off...

Expiation will be great.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
well, it all depends on what hboot your device has. if it is from 1.17 - 1.18 i think you can use revolutionary s-off. which aside from the usual htc dev unlock gives you full write access to the nand, so you can flash kernals, remove sim lock, gain supercid ect. if you have a higher hboot you can unlock using htc dev and then use jupuntubear to s-off afterwards. htcdev = you can do recoverys and some roms, depending if they have the same baseband as you. s-off can unlock everything so you can flash what you like.

one you are s-off you can flash a recovery using the pg58img.zip to hboot method or by using the control app for 4ext. once thats install flash the superuser zip and your rooted and ready to go. as for specs in not too sure :P
[HTC Sensation] musa91:
welcome to the sensation forum it's very good choice u made by switching sensation its a very cool device...

for being new to sensation i suppose u need to read here

then here

then download any room and flash u will be pro if u didnt get ics ota update yet

if u get it u should do htc dev unlock and jaubuntu bear method to do s-off

good luck :cool:
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Thanks guys!

I'm not on sensation yet, but I'm thinking of getting one in 2 weeks.

Say I use HTC Dev, than I can ONLY flash kernel and Rom with the same RUU Version or w.e right? Say I'm on a ICS RUU, I can't flash a GB.. Correct?

If I get Revolution S-Off or the Bear S-Off, I can flash anything I want.

One question, I can't seem to find is, what is SUPERCID?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
SuperCID means you can flash any variant of the stock ROM. It's pretty irrelevant in my eyes.
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Ahhh. Useless for me...

So if I use HTC Dev, I can only flash the rom with the SAME Rom version, and kernel version... Eg: Stock kernel with modified stock kernel, stock rom with modified speedy rom.

If I use S-Off the beer way, I can flash anything I want, right?

How hard is this phone to brick on a scale of /10?
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
If you can choose between the two, go with revolutionary, HTC dev will void your warranty and then afterwards you have to do junoptobear to get the same benefits that you get from revolutionary. Also Id reccomend 4ext recovery.

Also supercid is relevant because there are devs here from all over the place and it will be less worrisome if you just supercid, it only takes two command lines :)

[HTC Sensation] toreone:
After reading a few posts "bricking" is fairly easy to do. So be careful and read everything carefully..do not do the HTC Dev unlock..I have read a lot of people having problems that way us the revolutionary method. that is what I used.

I basically followed this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

and upon reading everything about a hundred times and asking a few questions...I managed to get s-off, CWM and root!

Hope this helps...I stayed with a GB ROM not an ICS some people have been having problems because you have to flash a new ICS Firmare and there is risk of bricking with that as well.

I suggest using ENERGY GB ROM 3.5 I love it and it has a better camera in it..i think it is the amaze camera driver.

(I heard there is 2 different panel, the AUO and the SHARP) Which one is better? Which one have better contrast, and better color?

Yes but they both have same contrast and res just different manufacturer and a batch of one of them got dust.

This processor is a S3, is this S3 similar to the Amaze S3, but the sensation is downclocked which can be OC using a custom kernel.. Am I correct?

Yes the only difference is the clock speed I believe.

Is Qualcomm Snapdragon more open source than Nvidia Tegra 2? One of the reason I'm jumping to the sensation is the Tegra 2 is pretty CLOSED SOURCE.

Well theyve released drivers and gls for ics but I don't know how it is on the g2x.

Edit: How much free ram on ICS do you guys have?

Depends if its sense or asop, or are you talking about stock?

Edit2: I'm getting headaches just by reading how to get S-OFF, CWM, Etc... Anyone wanna simplify it for me?

How to get CWM on it, than install custom ROM (ICS), and than install a custom kernel.... Can I install CWM w/o S-Off?

There are plenty of helpful guides on here some of them already linked to in this thread. :)

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
S-off=All partitions have read write permissions

HTC Dev=Only System partition, boot partition, and recovery partition have read write permissions. Plus you have to use 4EXT Recovery and enable smart flash, or flash the boot.img manually of the ROM you want to use to flash the kernel.

Super CID=You no longer have your carriers ID on your device so you can flash a ROM with any carrier Id on it, it does not have to have your carrier ID.
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
SuperCID, so say It's TMOUSA, I can flash a rom from TMOEU?

And....

So with S-OFF, I can switch between GB and ICS, and any kernel I want..

With S-ON, I can only flash certain roms, and certain kernel...

Man, anyone know where I can get a HBOOT < 1.18?

Edit: Say I'm on GB right now, and I want ICS, but I have S-Off.. Do I still need to flash the ICS firmware 3.2 to use ARHD?

HTC makes it so confusing compared to Samsung and LG Devices.. X_X

Thanks guys! I really appreciate you guys helping me.
[HTC Sensation] JesusFreak316:
I made the same transition and much prefer my Sensation. While the G2X devs are certainly talented, Nvidia's driver policies got in the way of decent ICS roms. Qualcomm, while not as good as TI or Samsung, still does a much better job of releasing drivers and sources relevant to development than Nvidia. As for bricking, it is easier to brick than the G2X, but generally only in select instances, such as when trying to go back in s-on or formatting your sd card in an aosp rom (now fixed). The G2X screen is probably a little higher quality but the extra screen resolution on the Sensation makes it better in my opinion. Overall, what I prefer most about the Sensation is that the dev support is fantastic, second only to my HD2. (Nothing will ever beat that though.)
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Few question, Why would we go back to S-On? Except for Warranty.

And if I'm on GB with CWM S-Off, do I have to install the 3.32 base to install ICS Custom roms?
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
Mainly just for warranty or if you want to sell.

And yes but flashing a firmware isn't had you just put it on the sd card, go into bootloader and let it flash, take fw file off sd card after finished then flash an ics Rom :) I know you're used to cwm but 4ext is the standard for a large amount of roms and mods here, if you install with cwm it will usually work but you'll be missing out on some stuff. If it helps, 4ext is based off cwm. Sorry if it seems like in trying to shove 4ext down your throat....

I thought modifying this phone was going to be really challenging compared to my old LG but once I had it in my hands I was running ordroid in less than 2 hours :D

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Thanks!

Alright, one last question. How often do you have to flash a firmware to flash a custom rom? (Do you have to flash the firmware even with S-Off?)

I see people say flashing other rom makes them stuck on boot screen? Something aobut firmware...

Compared to my LG G2X, this is like making me jump through hoops..

Any btw, <1.18HBoot is GB, and 1.27HBoot is ICS mostly for ppl that did the ICS update, right?

Just want to sort out everything before I buy this phone.. :p
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
If you want an ICS ROM, then you'll need the ICS firmware, it's pretty simple really.
[HTC Sensation] DonPhelippe:
Just once. After you get your 1.27HBoot (I assume we are talking about ICS upgrades and ROMs here, right?) then you should proceed to flash the 3.32 firmware (there are excellent threads with a metric ton of instructions on how to do this) - after that point the ICS world is yours (at least that's how it went for me: I used the noob-proof tool from the stickied thread in Android Development section, then went to determine which firmware I need, flashed it, flashed 4ext and now I enjoy the latest and greatest both in stock Android and in HTC specific (i.e. Sense 4.0, kudos to OrDroid)

Honestly, it's kinda of a shock when you go through it initially but the stickied threads are very good, the one-click tool is effin amazin and after you go through the "zomfg I void me warranty me wants me mommy" stage then you are good to go - plus if you really don't like anything you get, you can just flash in the original ROM, right?
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
I'd reccomend soffing before upgrading to ics, because once on ics the only way to soff is through HTC dev

Thanks guys! Say I'm on boot 1.18. Than I s off and than update firmware to 3.32( this won't make it back to s on and make it 1.27hboot right?) But if I do s on, can't I still flash from and kernel?

If I have s off can I not flash the 3.32 firmware?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
hi and welcome! I'm just learning all this stuff too" you picked the perfect place to learn! Everyone here is wonderful, smart and talented! I just rooted my device and so far flashed two roms. I am just learning the how's and why's of stuff! This is a excellent forum! They will help you so much"! I wanted to say welcome to you and tell you you won't be sorry once rooted! You will love it! After I flashed my first Rom I got

Better battery life, better network signals better faster smother experience all together"! Oh I was hooked from then on! Don't be afraid you will love it! I'm just greatful for these wonderful people who work so hard to make Roms for us! I try to donate to them when I can! With their donations button. I really appreciate all they do and I think you will also! Well, again welcome! :)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
As for your question, no flashing 3.32 firmware won't make you s on again. You will then be able to flash ics based roms. They take the 3.32 firmware. If you want a gb based rom you would need a different firmware. Hope this helps as I'm just learning myself. But this much I do know. I wanted ics based roms so I flashed the 3.32 firmware. Now I can use a ics rom. When picking your rom read through what it can and van not do.its very helpful. So far I'm using virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2. I like it because it suits me but there are so many great roms I'm thinking of trying another soon. With Virtuous everything's fuctional and I like that but different roms suit different people! That's the fun of it! Trying new things" I wish you the best and I'm sure you will enjoy which ever rom you choose! Again welcome" :D
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
If I use SUPERCID, do I still have to flash firmware 3.32?

If S-Off and S-ON, still need to flash firmware for changing roms, what's the benefit of S-Off?

Ok, I think I got this.

eg: Say I have HBoot 1.18, and I make it S-Off, and I want to make it run ICS, I need the firmware 3.32.. Which in turn will make my HBoot 1.27, but it will stay S-Off..

Am I correct?
[HTC Sensation] se1000:
From what I understand....

SUPERCID is just the designator to indicate what OEM the phone was intended for. Has nothing to do with the functionality of S-OFF or firmware, other than if you don't have SUPERCID, you will need to get the exact firmware for your particular CID.

If you have S-OFF, and flash the correct firmware, you will stay S-OFF.

I recently bought a Sensation and went through exactly what you're going through, here's what I did:

1. Revolutionary S-OFF

2. SUPERCID (Optional, but it's a 1 line fastboot command, so I decided to do it)

3. 3.32 Firmware (highly suggest the user-friendly firmware from this thread)

4. Flash 4ext recovery via fastboot

5. Flash ICS ROM of your choice.

This should land you with S-OFF, 1.27 Revolutionary H-BOOT, 4ext recovery, and the ICS ROM you've chosen. Again, SUPERCID is optional.

With that said, I LOVE my Sensation. My MT4G was acting funny so I looked for a replacement. ONE-X seemed too big and doesn't work on T-Mobile. Hated the pentile display on the ONE-S. I think the Amaze is just ugly, and don't really see the benefit of the hardware features over the Sensation. Sensation was just right for me, relatively thin, looks great, good performance and great DEV SUPPORT!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Of thanks se1000. Compare to the lg g2x the sensation is like making me jump through fire hoops

Can I flash all the from here without supercid? And updating firmware to 3.32 will make my phone stock ics and and have a boot of 3.32. Right?
[HTC Sensation] se1000:
No. 3.32 is the firmware, not the ROM.

Think of firmware as the foundation to what the ROM will run on.

Yes you will be able to do this without changing the CID but it will be slightly more difficult.
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Few last questions...

The firmware 3.32, comes with the Hboot 1.27?

Can't I do the same thing with S-On?

Flash rom, install EXT4, custom kernel, and all that good stuff?
[HTC Sensation] se1000:
you could... but why would you want to do that? You're just making your life more difficult.
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
Yes you're overcomplicating things

Before going to ics in this order

Soff

Flash recovery

Supercid

Update fw

Flash Rom

Enjoy :)

Don't freak out if you update the fw and get bootloops when you reboot before flashing a new Rom. Just boot into recovery and flash an ics Rom at that point. It's insane the amount of people that freak out after updating fw but before flashing ics then they do something in a hurry to try and fix it only to make it worse. Just take your time and read the directions from the guide and youll be fine :)

[HTC One X] HoundDK:
Considering the One X/S as my next device. :)

I read somewhere that htcdev.com registration (and bootloader unlock) will void your guarantee forever, and based on experience I will need HTC service at some point.

Did I understand it correct, that in order to unlock the bootloader and root, I would need to register at htcdev.com. There no other way?
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
From what I have been reading just unlocking your bootloader won't void your warranty. But HTC will be able to tell what software you have installed in your phone according to this post HERE

So it's really up to HTC whether or not they fix your under warranty if you ever decide to use custom ROMs.
[HTC One X] HoundDK:
Hmmm...spooky!

So even if we manage to unlock and root without htcdev.com, HTC cache what roms we use in a hidden folder that cannot be flushed. I'm sure HTC is not going to use such information at my advantage. :-)

If that's really the case, I guess HTC is no longer an option for me?
[HTC One X] ranger4740:
When I used htcdev to unlock my htc legend I was required to send what is a unique device token to HTC before they send me a unlocker binary file, obviously to me that device token tells HTC exactly which phone has been unlocked and is stored in a data base somewhere, so if you send it for repair, even if you do manage to get your phone back to stock again before, the records will show that the phone has been tampered with.

That's what i believe anyway.

sent from my legend, currently using zeubea ics beta0
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
Well I'm not sure about that. Maybe with S-OFF we can clean the cache, but not really sure.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Sending the token means you may have unlocked your phone. They don't void warranty for just unlocking your boot loader.
