Been using nokia before I switched to htc. So being a hardcore htc fan, for me sgs2 will never beat sensation. Also sense ui is better than touch wiz or even motoblur. Tw is too much like iphone that it robs the android-ness of the phone. If you want iphone ui get an iphone.

Galaxy 2 and Sensation are very close spec-wise that it will come to personal preference rather than performance. Try both at the booth or borrow a friends and make your own decision. for most htc owners sensation would have an upper hand.

So, apps that I am liking is:

Elixir
Hyper Jump
Aldiko (yes, I read lots of e-book)
Swype
Ulysses Gizmos
Freedi youtube

all those r not official yet.. can consider as rumors also la then.. Nexus the 3rd is in the making but by whom or the specs are speculated greatly now.. lets just see.. but its safe to say that maybe not only the company who will make the nexus is preparing, few other manufacturers might also is in the works such as the leaked picture of unknown motorola without buttons etc.. few months left to wait, android 2.4 is not long ahead.. be patient smile.gif .. still, waiting game is such a pain.. Nexus device also damn late officially available in Malaysia

Rumours are the spice of life. I was on d way to buy htc IS when I read abt sensation on gizmodo. Terus cancel and waites for it. Damn worth it. If next nexus is htc made, I'll buy it in a flash.

Since the phone is by HTC anyway, would the non lens based camera function like sweep shot, clear shot hdr and burst shot be ported over to sensation once there is a software update? Sensation is suppose to be the top htc phone right???

i got the problem juz now..my google widget is distorted..i got it right after i installed angry birds rio and played with it awhile..regardless i remove and replace the widget and its normal again
*
Got same problem. Some say its because the widget was installed on the sd card. But some of my app is on phone memory. By removing and replacing the widget it became ok again. But 2-3 days later same thing happened again. So now, I just ignore it.

Anyone has this experience? My SD card suddenly unmount itself. Then when i restart, it says I have a blank SD card. Have to take out, clean the card with alcohol only then it works again. This is like the 3rd time it unmount itself. The previous time, restart the phone would solve the problem...

This is getting annoying...

There are Four places you can go:

1)  Funan IT Mall

2)  Sim Lim Square - like our Low Yat

3)  Lucky Plaza - Lower Ground and Ground Floor (last choice as most prices here are tourist price...)

4)  Suntec City Mall

Thanks, will stop by sim lim sq tomorrow. Will update here if there is something interesting there...

I spend 5 min reading the guide and I decided to close the tab. Too much for me and I graduated so that I dont have to learn coding anymore. Will wait for 1 click root like hero last time.

my death grip issue is solved after using case mate tough.

talk about death grip, i noticed telco network reception is much improved with my Sensation as compared to my previous SE and HTC Aria. Tested at my office tower's lift bank where i'll lost signal (no coverage) all these while.

Surprised me when i'm using Sensation, i managed to have 3 bars of signal at the same place.  blink.gif it's either the telco improved their coverage or purely cos of Sensation? not sure if any of you experience the same?
*
Cool, well, noticed the same too compared to hero. But still annoyed that there are some places where i didnt get reception but iphone does.

@cyberman2: you're most welcome. sharing is caring =)

btw i experienced another problem with my sensation. phone went mute with all the sound clip even the media volume is not muted. =( first happened yesterday, so i restarted the phone and solved the problem. it happened again about 10 mins ago. ishhh... after restart, all the applications' icon is showing default android application instead of the application's icon shortcut in all my folders. got to re-add and remove those icons one by one.. headache
*
Same with my phone but I just restart it and normal icon comes up. Lots of icon to remove and add so at times didnt bother. Sometimes it mutes itself too. Kinda like having a mood swing. So better to take a let her be approach, if not for sure stress giler.


Added on July 3, 2011, 1:12 pmFor casemate tough users, did u guys notice the speaker phone volume, ring volume and alarm volume goes higher than normal? Normally I can ignore the alarm, but this time its too loud that I have to shut it to continue sleeping...

u just have the starhub tv or all the apps i stated ? its been hiding in sense, once u change to laucher pro, adw or go launcher, all the apps its out and it was running in background.

All of it. I found it when I listed all the apps using appbrain. My M1 is the bigest at 1Mb, the rest are less than 20kb so not a drain on memory space..


Added on July 3, 2011, 1:42 pmOn the old forum board, someone mentioned they have maxis apps on their phone... but there is non on mine, just these indonesian and singaporean telco apps.

Guys,

Are there any earphone that comes with a controller to scroll thru songs, accept call and increase decrease volume on the controller. Tried using a-Jays Four but doesnt work on Sensation, even Beats Tour is not compatible. Seems all controlable earphones only work on apple products. Any suggestions?

I guess your Desire HD still very sexy. I went to Digi and tried out desire HD and Sensation. Both are good phones and of course Sensation is faster. I would suggest you wait for next year and you will see big improvement of next generation of HTC phone.

Also I am thinking your can do a lot of modification on your Desire HD to make it same as Sensation. Check XDA developer forum and you will find a lot of fun to modify and improve your desire HD.

I am with him. Wait for a faster phone to come up. Yr phone still have 1 yr of fun left. Mod it if u want, play around with different bootloader. As good as sensation it, it is still not the best htc can put out.

Display wise, i'd hope and think qHD would be the standard for android. For me it make sense (pardon the pun) as most tv programs are in HD resolution. As for processor, dual core would also be the pinnacle as quad core phone seems a bit overkill and will consume more batteries. 3D for me is a fad, its nice to have but for what it is worth, one will not use it regularly.

So, enjoy yr DHD, push it to its limit, and once a new dual core somes out (2ghz dual core maybe) jump on it.

Where do you guys go for wallpapers?
I found this site : http://www.euphoricarythmia.com/forumdisplay.php?f=74
But, the qHD wallpaper is 1080 x 960
but for Sensation, the qHD is 540 x 960
Apparently android qHD wallpaper is suppose to scroll but i know sensation doesnt scroll like the old sense.

Figured out why sometimes when app icon load up, it shows the android icon and not the app icon. Its either the sd card or sd card port f-up. This would likely happen to u if u purchased new sd card instead of using the one that comes with phone. Cant afford to buy class 10 to test out theory.

So when this happens, just unmount & mount sd card and restart sense/launcher. Works for me on sense 3.0
