1 gb will be left for the user to use...just like ye'ol htc sensation w/o them dr.dre

eh?, whats taking up the other 3gb?, impossible for stock ROM + contents to take up so much space...unless they include a few complimentary HD movies and songs.

lol if I wanted beats i'd buy the ones i want, not one HTC give me.

EDIT: Downloading ARHD 3.0.4 at the moment, changelog seems nice, definitely better since he has his own Sensation to toy with =P. Lets just hope my Spectral Soul game will not be affected lols.

HTC is doing very hard in MY market to compete for the top Andoird, no doubt S2 spec is so much better than Sensation.

HTC is better in terms of branding and GPS locking time, and well personally design... after usage for a month notice the sad part is the Batt hope that Battery companies will come out a new Batt pack , so HTC can introduce to current and up coming models.

In SG S2 is much more expensive by 50-100 SGD, while in MY HTC is price higher by RM 200 ->Ori huh

HTC SEnse itself used up a lot of memory space. This phone is still OK in terme of memory space given. If you have used the HTC Flyer - you will be even in for a bigger shock. I bought it thinking what a great 32GB memory will help me. My , was I disappointed as in reality only 21 GB available to user !!!! Compared, my other Galaxy Tab in its 16GB guise, gives me 14 GB space

uh wait, I think you are referring to RAM?, I'm talking about the Internal phone storage....sense UI takes up 3gb internal phone storage?

Speaking of RAM, the special edition model has how much?, or still the same at 768MB?

The price of HTC Sensation has dropped since the EVO 3D was introduced. It's now RM1,999. The last time I checked was the HTC booth at Mid-Vally Gardens.

I am talking about internal storage. the phone , any phone will still take up a chunk of it. Example in my SGS II, I dont see 16 GB - only 14 GB to use , 2 GB taken up by system and 2 GB partition for apps and 12 GB for apps supporting data. Memory 1 GB but only 835 MB available

Funny...for my case it's not all that bad actually. Factory reset for me and fresh install ARHD 3.0.4 (with apps included in ROM) left me with ~880MB free internal storage out of 1GB and 6.8GB free out of my 8GB SD Card.

My personal stuff like pictures, music, videos, recovery backups and Titanium backup folder are all safely in my computer. Perhaps on stock the bloatware is significantly higher?


EDIT:

Now that I think about it, out of my total 9GB storage almost 1.5GB has been taken up already....need a bigger SD card...soon lol

1. Make sure NaviSea folder is at main directory
2. Rename the following folder to 540X960
X:\NaviSea\Organic\400X854
X:\NaviSea\Organic\CHT\400X854
X:\NaviSea\Organic\CN\400X854
X:\NaviSea\Organic\IND\400X854
X:\NaviSea\Organic\MY\400X854
3. Download Spare Part from Market
4. Go to Compability Mode Turn off then on
5. Restart Phone
5. Go to Compability Mode again Turn Off
6. restart Phone
7. Run papago !

You notice the menu bar is abit weird but will get a full screen as X5 android is made max to support 400X854 you are forcing it to operate at 540X960

Map updates & POI is slow on Sygic

Hi Everyone,

I'm new on smartphones and planning to get one. I'd read as much as I could on the pages but not all (95 pages in this thread so far!)

I like to ask 2 things...

1) I'd read alot about htcsense.com not working or working on and off. How is the situation at the moment? Is it better now i.e. the functions as advertised by htc previously?

2) As for the Locations software and maps, does it work well with the phone compass? Does it have well-stocked maps on Malaysia and neighbouring countries (like those on AirAsia destinations)?

Sorry if these questions has been asked before.. and thank you in advance for your reply! laugh.gif

1) Have not use it so can't comment much

2) Location software & Maps is very similiar to google map , so when you travel you'll need to use local data packages else you'll suffer crazy amount of bill cause it will download local map info, another software is known as Navigator you need to pay for the maps of other country.

I would recommend to use Syngic for nice user interface , and Papago X5 for most updated map with POI on MY, SG & TH from MFM. -> a small price to pay for these navigator

Actually I prefer Garmin the most but not available for Android , used Garmin to navigate in Bangkok on my N97 with local data plan (for AGPS) it is so much better compare to Ovi Maps (Nokia)

For my case it works, but I turn it off because it really kills your battery very quickly since data is always syncing and it also keeps your CPU up alot even during screen off. I'd be using it all the time if it wasn't for those problems. Anyway, the function does work, like making the phone ring at full volume. I even tried the wipe data remotely (since I was going to factory reset and install custom ROM anyway) and it does work.

But then again if someone were to steal my phone or something like that I'm pretty sure he would turn it off, so no point really, lol.


I'm using the HTC Premium Navigation (You get a voucher code in the box so you can register for free, maps are updated, because I noticed the recently sealed off road near my house WAS registered in the map, although its not as detailed as Garmin/Papago but it does the job pretty well overall getting you to the area. If you're talking very specific like locating side lanes/back alleys etc its not as accurate as other paid GPS Nav systems out there though.

Once s-off then you can have root access and flash custom rom. Think twice if you want to s-off officially cos that will void your warranty. If you wants to flash custom rom,you may want to s-off unofficially. At least you can revert to stock Rom for warranty purpose.
