Been Testing The New Phone .. - HTC Sensation

Did you get your new phone ?
I thought I would give it a try ..
Its OK .. Nothing That Great I Think.
However seems everything works lol
Whats Your Thoughts ?
Found a few things I do not like ..
1. Volume Not that great - notifications kinda soft.
In-Call Not that great for a old fart like me.
2. The screen is a tad smaller then the hd2
So everything .. the icons and text are smaller
hard to read ;( Again for us old farts
Like CMY'S res on This ROM WAY better! 240 I think.
Also Because Of This The Keyboard Buttons
Are Soooo Small You Cant Hit The Right Letter!!
( I have Big Fingers! ) Swype Is Even Worse! Dam It!
3. The Screen is not as bright as the hd2 LOL
And Seems Not as Good! As The HD2!
Un-less you crank up the brightness!
4. There is no call history icon ??? FFS
What Really ???
5. The Icon For NEW Text Message is WAY to small!
Open New Messages and there is a icon Upper right
corner .. tiny ****ty Little thing. ( Big Fingers! )
6. There is a Program that comes with called Mirror
The Front Camera Looks Like **** !
However with all that said .. Its Mostly Seems Fast ( Kinda )
And everything I have Tried Seems to work and WIFI calling is nice.
Every program I have installed works well.
What DO you think ?

With all due respect, but did you have to start new thread for that? What about initial thought thread?

I think the moral of the story is to get booked in for sight and hearing test ASAP!

You do realize that the screen size is identical to the HD2 right? Items onscreen appear smaller because of the vastly increased resolution.

ashasaur, i told him exactly that in another post he started, but it seems people don't bother reading these days, only post new threads.

If you hit the settings button you will see call history. Not mention every call activity is log right in the main phone app screen.

Not true.
HD2 screen = 5,6 cm x 9,4 cm
Sensation screen = 5,4 cm x 9,5 cm
I have both phones and have measured the screens on both.

The screen is smaller width ways so it can be a 16:9 aspect ratio, instead of HD2's and Desire HD's, which was 5:4.

why do old farts like you get this kind of phones then ? small icons and textures hahah ur funny

The only thing missing now is an app that kill old peoples farts.
The size of the screen is what it is, but i love it

WarlockW: How about testing the device before you buy it?! For me in this case it seems it's not the phone that's the problem....
Reminds me of a story at a local dealership: An lady in her 60ies came in with a high and device with some problems. The shop owner looked at it for five minutes, than looked at her and said: "It's not ment for old hags like you!" True story!

1. Your ears are clogged from your old age.
2. Your hands are too fat due to low metabolism because of your age, and your eyes are too old and is not as good when you were young.
3. Again, your eyes are way too weary nowadays. I heard they come with age.
4. Your brain is too old to pull out short term memory.
5. Again your fingers are too fat and eyes too old. Age related issues.
6. Uhhhh....When I look at mine a reflection of a gorgeous guy is staring back wrinkle free. You are a tad too old to be using it. They have wrinkle creams and surgeries nowadays....They can certainly help you.

I see 'respect your elders' never was beaten into an idiot like you...
The volume IS low vs the HD2, the screen is narrower and harder to type on and see, and the front camera does have a crappy resolution. Those are facts, and he was merely pointing them out. You just had to be the arrogant ass that had to post to make himself "look cool."

Keyboard sounds?

I'm looking for an app that will add typing sounds of some kind while using the hardware keyboard on my G1. I'm coming from a modded, OpenTouch flashed and overclocked HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing which had the option to add sounds for hardware button presses. I'm a big guy with BIG hands- my two thumbs placed together stretch from the "A" to the "L" on the G1 keyboard. The G1's keys are smaller and don't have the healthy, positive feeling "click" that my old Wing/Herald did, which makes it hard for my big ass thumbs to register if I've depressed the button. I end up backspacing a lot to correct double typed or missed letters. Having sounds would help sooooo much. Even the same sound you can set for screen touches would be perfect.
Does something like this exist? Could an app be made?
~edit~
Just realized I should have posted this in the apps forum....sorry! Move if needed!
hmm good post. I would like to know this as well, would be a great feature addition.
maybe someone can create a sound not when it opens but when ever the screen is rotated?just a thought

no offense, but that wouldn't really help the OP
and it would be a nice feature. god knows how you'd do it though
This would be an absolute must have app for me....I'd pay for it without a second thought.
ttt....
My hope is that some super secret squirrel developer will see this and whip out the appropriate app and beam to my phone in 3.2 seconds. lol
i was wondering about this also!
jealous of my friends sidekick..
i dont care what anyone says i find noises to be entertaining..

its quite possible to do it. i dont know how though
in the coding, there is a keyboardhidden and keyboardexposed recognization...
we just need to find a dev interested in it
i would like this also!
i love using the on screen keyboard because of all the sounds and the different ones for space and delete and if i could have it on my hard keyboard also i would most definitely pay
You guys know about Haykuros keyboard mod? The one that gives the hard keyboard predictive text? It also gives you key pressing sounds like the VK does.
can you link us to this?
if you use haykuro's HTC IME you can tell it to make typing noises when you click the hardware or software keyboard.

Hope that this helps.

Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.
yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

[CONCEPT] Google Nexus III

Hi, everyone! I have created a concept based on a joke with Apple copying some android features for the ios5 (wich i think was a step in the right direction). So, the "next google phone" looks a little like the iphone and the fiction-ad plays with the taskbar matter. By the way, the new taskbar i introduced is a concept too. It would replace the hardware buttons with a second monochrome display, adding more functionality and saving more battery power.
Well, enough talking.
Let me know what you think about it.

Maybe the pictures did not shows enough.
Well, it actually would act like the current normal hardware touch sensitive controls, displaying the same signals: back, search, options and home, just like the current ones.
But...
Once the screen is off and you are listening to music, it can act as the player controls, or even the unlock slider without need to power on the screen all time. It would notify you about new email, sms, missed calls when screen is off. But once the screen is unlocked, it get back to it's normal four button functions. Touching the notification unlocks the screen and takes you directly to the related app. Touching the back symbol on the right, marks the notification as "seen". Its more or less how it should works.

Poor touchscreen sensitivity?

I don't know if it's just me but I found out while playing Draw Something that the touchscreen on the Skyrocket is not sensitive enough. I don't know if it's the phone's problem or an if it's an Android onTouchEvent() problem.
While playing Draw Something, I can touch the screen lightly and a dot appears when I am drawing. The problem occurs when I touch the screen and drag my finger a little; however, when I do this, no "ink" appears until I drag my finger a certain amount.
On my previous phone, Palm Pre, there was a homebrew patch that decreased the touch drag radius. Is there anything similar to this on android or am I stuck with this problem?
Sorry if this question has been asked before!
Edit: On the iPhone, this problem does not exist; "ink" shows up immediately when I drag my finger.
Edit2: I am Using TouchUtil and the touch screen is reading my finger's 'down' action, but when I start dragging my finger, it jumps exactly 16 pixels before the 'move' action registers. (screenshot attatched)

It's the way android is made. You can't fix it, the OS has a lower IRQ than touch (exactly like desktop).
On iOS and WP7, the touch has a lower IRQ, giving the smoother impression...
I think it was Andy Rubin who explained this?

shows us your Xperia 5 homescreens.

I'll start I guess.
Lockscreen. Home, left and right.
Redid my home and lock. Same ****.
Just new icons, and background mountain, lock wall is still likewise above, just with a background mountain so still fits.
I'll later today, remove the navigation bar all together. And going all gestures. For more seamless setup and controll. Just don't have any adb on my Macs and don't get it, as on Windows. Lol.
Edit** Added lockscreen and homewall.
It's no right, none did a setup yet, phone is on Monday a month old. ?? Come on all ?
I redo mine like at least ones a day ? can't show em all, just what I fall back to. Otherwise I'll be spamming ???
Wauuu really? Is this the community of Sony, 76 ppl locking, not one says, u suck, God knows what. I did not make a mistake, buying this, but the community is like non-existent

Sold both xm3 and Xperia 5, as I couldn't stand any of em.

I disabled Ambient display on the Xperia 5. Seems to work much better. @ Android v9. I wonder once Android 10 is stable and fixes bugs in 10 will the new home button make things easier?

I thought that Sony's gesture actually works. But wasn't quite enough for me. And way of topic
And how better? My only real complaint was FP. And had 3 updates in 3 weaks, didn't fix, so I sold. The phone it self. Had no issue with. Besides. My year elder op6 preform better besides 21:9 :good:
Oh. Yeah. Sold to a company. For more than I gave. So no loss. I tried.
But let's hope. They'll fix stuff in @10, like systemwide dark mode :fingers-crossed:
I'ma fraid. Cellphone is not where Sony put their money.

What is that clock/weather widget, that's sharp
A new cell phone is just a bunch of radiation.
the Xperia 5 has an advantage over wider phones, but the top of the phone is too heavy and will tip over. Also, the bezel material is unlike the Xperia Z3, which was metallic and unique among Xperia flagships.
