Apart from the visual effects and animations, sense 3 is the first version able to read html emails from the old exchange. The performance and screen resolution are also important improvements. It is using the last generations softwate and hardware.

now thats a relief.
I never had a issue with cell signal but I did have a issue with the WiFi dropping off when holding it in landscape view until I went into the WiFi settings and pumped WiFi performance to the max. After doing that, the WiFI stays strong when holding it in landscape.

Let us know if you have the deathgrip issue, or any other comments comming from an HD2 to S4G. I just ordered mine last night and already got rid of my HD2, so I'm stuck

I have no death grip problem like I do with my HD2.
BTW: the biggest change I notice last night, besides speed and sense 3.0, was the camera. When recording 1080p, the zoom works. On my HD2, I can only use the zoom before I start recording, not during recording.

Cool beans! I hated having the fixed zoom durring recording. So you're saying that your HD2 has deathgrip but not the Sensation ?
Thanks in advance for sharing.
So after the GB update i was like man can LG be anymore "dumb", but it turned out they're not.
I hate the GB stock camera and liked the froyo version better. until i figured out that LG did that on purpose, not only they didn't want to waste time on rebuilding the camera app to GB version but they are hopping to make more money on selling their LG camera app. i found it on the Market and it's called "LGCAMERA PRO" and of course theres a free version but on the internet you can find the pro for free *wink *wink.
Make sure you get the most up to date version cause it fixes the rotation bug.
And this works with GB?
Yes it has capability of 2.2 and beyond..... it even has more options.
does the GB video camera have autofocus?

I assume you are talking about this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&feature=search_result
Which is definitely not made by LG.
There's a manual focus, and a forced auto focus, don't ask me what that means" for the camera. And for video has a lot more options like video bitrate up to 20mps and downgrade and upgrade the video guality.
Its not being sold by LG. But it looks like a promising alternative.

Just tried it...IMHO Gb camera takes a better pic... I use my camera alot.. For work and personal use and right after installation I took a pic with it and compared it to a pic I took with the Gb cam... LG wasn't too good ...

forced auto focus? How do you do that?
For forced auto focus go at the very bottom of the menu and youll see it... side note stupid me found out the app is not made by lg ;p but it is a better camera app rather than the gb stock

hmm. i guess that option is not present with cyanogenmod.
Open the camera app and press your menu button, than scroll down to the common settings option and it'll be there for the forced focus
there's the option checked off with the green check mark alittle advice is to uncheck that option while recording a video cause it'll not auto focus while video recording

As stated before, LG did not make this. Here is a link to LG's market apps which encompass a whole 3 user guides for specific phones and that's it.
Maybe tantan20171 is or is friends with the Dev.
But is it 1080p?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
No I'm not just an average Joe trying to find an alternative camera apparently that gives us the option the option of having a full 1080 capability because right now we lost that spec and this apparently gives us that option
Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.

CM9 already has 8MP enabled, look under the settings menu in the camera app. what youre probably referring to is the UI, which makes the picture look smaller when taking pics/videos but in reality theyre the regular size. I, however, dont use CM9 camera app as it sucks. use UCam from the play store, great camera alternative

Looks like he got it from the Windows Phone 8 launch event. They gave away a bunch of those phones in that box there.
Hey can you open the HTC clock app that now appears by default on the Start screen? Is it a new version of the HTC Hub app? Anything new or different? Does the time on the Start screen update in real-time?
How much do you paid? Or was ist for free? If yes then why?
thx in advance

You're correct on where I got it. The HTC clock app is new, but the features are pretty much the same as they've always been. So far that's the only "new" app in the HTC section of the market.
Edit: Actually, there is one new feature that ties in with WP8 and it allows you to use the HTC app on your lock screen. So you have a clock, and weather on your lockscreen, as well as a new background.

That's kinda disappointing if its the only app. I know its got Beats pre-installed, but what about stuff like HTC's panorama camera functionality? Flashlight still there and working? Attentive phone?

Hmmm, couldn't find the panorama function. Flashlight is there and pre-installed as well as attentive phone. I must say the wide angle front lense is pretty nice. Can't wait for the new Skype to be released.
Also, a feature that I hadn't seen or heard about before, is that in the camera you can install "lenses" so you can switch between using the "bing" lenses and using it to scan bar codes and such, to switching to apps such as "camwow". All within the native camera app

Performance is great, as always with most Windows Phone devices. It has a 1.5 dual core cpu for a OS that only really needs 1 core so it flys along. Build quality is great, the unibody and slim curved body feels great in the hand. Reception wise, I have full bars where I live so I can't say. And sense? There is no sense.... this is not Android....

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can. Maybe through Skydrive? Not sure though. Interesting side note, is that on WP7 there was Adobe pdf reader, and now its Microsoft's own pdf reader (the same can be found on Win8)
Wow! You're right! I just got finished installing Windows 8. I hadn't even opened a PDF yet so I checked it out. Yup. The default reader is completely different, as are the PDF file icons. I found a couple of traits I don't like in the new reader, but, just as I have been able to circumnavigate most Windows 8 issues by returning to the trusty old desktop, in looking at the tool bar in the top of the folder containing the PDF, there was an arrow beside the word "Open". This allowed me to open the PDF with the old reader, which worked as per normal on my network printer.
Back to the subject. It is a total screw-up that we STILL can not send a PDF with a WP8. This was a well known shortcoming in WP7. When are they gonna' fix this?
Aaaaaaargggh!

Someone told me that pdf files now show up in the Office hub so you can email them from there.
Here's a video that shows how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FE1xh1VF8v4#t=150s
Also, one additional question: If you forward an email message, can you edit the original email text? Thanks.
Can you possibly test the speed and reliability of push notifications? One thing Microsoft does not talk about is how or even if push notifications have improved. Test Facebook, Twitter, something. See how quickly notifications arrive, or if they even arrive at all.
