Gues, from your experience of using it, do you have a case in mind that suits SG2 well? I know there has been many cases but, is there any that do ot attract much dust?

Also, is it advisable to have SP? I am thinking if I should get it...

I find it rather amusing... why i see so many topics in handphone section ..u trying very hard to swap ur sensation for sgs2 ..but nobody wants to ..LMAO ..

Guys, how is your GPS, I saw in a review that its GPS bad compared to HTC Sensation..

He finds Sensation is so great but the thing is why he wanted to sell of ? Repair motorbike ? Poor rempit =/

if i remember correctly last time he also pre-ordered a sgs2 from aliemin

After taking quite some pictures. when opening gallery it takes a long time. why?

New User reporting in here as well.

Just got the S2 from the Maxis outlet in MidValley - 2nd floor. The one at the road show (concourse) is obviously from a different dealer as when i was getting my accessories from them, i see people paying deposits to reserve phones. lost of "sad" faces but at the same time i can see the eager in them to owning one.

Go to the roadshow for the accessories, but if you want the phone go get from the maxis outlet at 2nd floor, opposite Machines.

He is need some anger management classes . SGS II /SENSATION is too expensive for him . I bet his motorbike is better than my plasticky Civic =P

cant disagree with you, reviews did say htc sensation is better than the rest, locking time is the same but accuracy htc is higher up to 5m compared to sgs2 18-20m.

budden here's my real life experience, the gps works great, i dont see myself placed somewhere far from where i am.

if u plan to get a phone for the gps, then go sensation, this i will agree with you

for those has defaulted a launcher, in order to clear the default,
try go to
setting/Applications/Manage applications/
choose the launcher program, then go to Launch by default, then touch the Clear defaults button.

im the one.

Do u actually owned two of this phone and gave such comments?
I think a lot of peoples that choosing between this two phone might interested to know more but based on your comments you are actually misleading them.

I owned this two phones, let me give my personal experience of the actual usage of these phones, this is not another xxx vs xxx .

hold the phone also signal can drop
You must hold your phone in very odd way to see the signal drop, in fact when i do the test i need to use my whole palm to cover the back of the phone to see the signal drop, I believe you won't hold your phone by using your whole palm to cover the phone right?

battery life so bad
Not at all...in fact Sensation is at least on par if not better....(Sensation on stock rom vs SGS2 on Villian 1.4)

fiz thing ppl see is the screen and sgs2 pwns sensation in that
In my personal experience, Higher resolution LCD in Sensation is much practical than SGS2 S.Amoled+, My phone usage is mainly reading news, web browsing, facebook, email, WhatsApp. On SGS2 Color is so vivid and contrast is very good but this didn't really help much when reading text in normal environment, on the other hand Sensation text is much sharper and can display more info in any single screen.

it's internal memory is only effing 1GB! i install eternal legacy ad need 2gb la , even my old n96 got 16gb internal
I don't use my phone to watch movie, listen MP3 or play games so for me even just 1GB i will never able to fill up half of it, but generally the more the better, so in this case SGS2 is better but if I'm not mistaken the internal storage on SGS2 is only 2GB usable for App.

the camera picture colour so dam flushed
No doubt SGS2 is better in this area not matter front or back camera.

bootloader is locked, need to s-off s-on, so dam troublesome
Sensation can't even s-off at the moment. need to wait official release. but I won't think it will be troublesome ....i think it's more troublesome to flash different rom everyday.

so conclusion sensation sucks
Really? I don't think so.


My other experiences of these 2 super phone:
- Overall SGS2 run more smoother then sensation, App launch faster in SGS2.
- Those who use email a lot..Control is much better in Sensation and it's faster than SGS2 Email client too.
- Contact Management is better in Sensation.
- SGS2 Browser is much smoother then Sensation
- HTC widget is better than SGS2.
- HTC Keyboard is better then SGS2. HTC keyboard can switch to chinese input without even need to switch the input method, in SGS2 need to download google pinyin. But always keep in mind a lot of other options in the market.
- Sense3 got more useful feature than TouchWiz4... a lot of peoples comparing the launcher part of these two customization but it actually consist more than that for example lock screen or even the way to u select text also consider part of the customization. So don't just compare the launcher part only.
- Sound quality is much better in SGS2.
- GPS accuracy in better in Sensation, tested with papago and google map.
- SGS2 feel good in hand, it's very light and so thin, Sensation also feel good in hand, very solid feel and the shape of the phone is just fit nicely in my hand, personally i prefer sensation.
- Sensation re-charge faster than SGS2


Some of my point I only mentioned in very general way, if you interested to know more in detail pls let me know.
I really like these 2 phones ...until this moment i still can't decide which to use as my primary phone.

Excellent share

and u so rich

+1

That's y i said dont b a fox and said the grapes are sour

Personally for me the dealbreaker was NAND and 2GB storage for applications.

Sensation is still using slower SD memory hence why the benchmarkes are so bad compared to the SG2 even when both are dual core. It has very little to do with the CPU as both are equally matched. Also the reason why SG2 is a lot smoother and snappier than the Sensation.

The bootloader is not a big problem but it doenst give you the option to update in the future once HTC decides to end support. This is a big let down actually.

For Samsung its easy to flash if you wanted it and it is a nice option to have and with the jig, no issues with warranty or bad flashes

i posted that to troll celcomaxiata but u kena instead

k la i reply u nicely since u reply nicely also lol
1. usually i do use my whole palm, nearly 3/4 is covered, dun wanna drop it >.<
2. like i said, fiz thing other ppl see is the screen, they dun care it's sharp or not, they will only wow at the brightness and the colours. of coz practical use i got no problem la, but different ppl have different 'eye stamina'
3. the 2gb is for installing those small apps, but these can be easily moved to sd card. what i meant was the sd data that some games need to download first to play, usually gameloft games and they're very big and u have to place them in the internal memory to work.
4. yea camera is good, except for the pinkspot problem, htc sensation no pink spot right?
5. bootloader i just say oni lol, i know htc going to release smtg to unlock the bootloader later la, i know it's troublesome bcoz a few of my frens had htc and i see they root take a lot of time...well i'm actually a big fan of changing roms, one big reason i bought sgs2 is coz i could customize and mod it as a hobby u can say
6. battery life based on reviews at gsmarena, sgs2 is better tho, maybe the roms/screen brightness plays a part

anyways nice comparison u have there

Guys

Just need some input on 3rd party launchers.

I have tried LPP for quite a long time, and now considering to get a new laucnher to replace the default SGS2 launcher.

Any recommendation? ADW or GO Launcher....etc
