Nothing wrong with it...
The lag in this version of android market is absolutely normal and is a problem of the app itself, you have no problems. Even the first row's little blink after the swipe is a common issue and is not involved with the sensation itself. We are just hoping in a new and better coding for the new market from google wich can solve all this lags and glitches

We all have this issue, at least i think so. Will be nice to know if anyone hasn't those glitches.. until that, i'm in the opinion that is a all-user-wide problem
Does it for me, not an issue, don't really care
Absolutely not an issue. The main problem of this version of the market for me is the incredible lack of smoothness in the user interface and the incredible slow loading of first page. I think it should be at least halfed.
Note: maybe i overstimated the problem, is not a big issue to wait a second or two after the launch, but the overall user experience is ruined (IMO) by this waitings everytime you load the market. I hope in a fix soon.
I know that this really sound bad commimg from a experienced user such as myself. But I have really tried to find how to update the market on my Sensation. But for some reason I can not figure it out. I have looked for a box to check to allow for automatic updates for the Market app. I have searched the internet for a working APK for the updated market. But none of my efforts have allowed me to update my market. I really like the layout and the added features of the updated market. I used it on my HD2, and had expected it to already be on my Sensation stock ROM. So my question is this, how do I get the updated Android Market on my Sensation?

Here it comes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272077
Download the .apk from that topic, install it and in manage applications clear market data. Reboot and enjoy. If you have some problem or want to revert to your version just uninstall the market updates from the manage application menu
Very tempted to get a HTC Ville when it comes out. Problem is it will run Sense 4.0 on top of ICS. Always have run vanilla. Played around with Sense enough to know I hate it, but never actually owned a Sense device so my knowledge of it is limited.
Question is, how well can I 'hide' it without rooting, since that won't be an option right away? I know I can do a lot by choosing alternates for the launcher, email, sms and contacts apps etc. but can I make Sense effectively unnoticable? Or does it permeate everything too deeply? And will Sense still be lurking around hogging system resources?

Yes you can make sense unnoticable to the eyes by using alternative launchers and widgets. But, the overlay will still be there sucking up resources and battery life.

That's wrong you can get something like absolute system control for root and deinstall sense that's what I did with touchwizz. There'll also be Rom's without sense.

But I won't be able to root until the Ville is cracked and reliable, daily-use ready vanilla ROMs are developed. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to trash Sense until then, without root.

No buddy, it was not wrong. Read the OP. He said without rooting. And with absolute system all you can do is uninstall widgets. Sense is still there. The only true way to get rid of it is root and flash an aosp ROM....not deleting some widgets.
First of all those you think official ICS update is awesome can close this thread for those who are interested to know why it SUCKS and how HTC really blew it read below
Almost 1 month ago when the update was available on Elevate XDA and non XDA members found some annoying bugs and notified HTC. However, nothing was fixed and this half baked update was pushed to the devices...
1. Music app is completely f***ed up! Not only its slow as hell to change tracks its UI became useless. If you look at overall design scheme it seems like big buttons at the bottom (just like in GB) are available almost everywhere (main menu, email client, personalize selection area) but not here WHY? because this app wasn't finished.
2. Native widgets are not updated, if you check the version some of them still show 3.0 build numbers. Again they didn't optimize them. Music widget flashes each time you change the homescreen, calendar's agenda view is not updated, it refreshes each time you flip home screen
3. Camera app doesn't close properly. if you enabled auto-brightness and opened/closed the camera it still keeps highest brightness level (only fix is to lock/unlock the device)
4. Stupid spelling mistakes such as develop option , Last OTA update fixed all spelling errors expect this one
5. Lock screen wallpapers doesn't change when you set a custom one, ringtones dont play properly. UPDATE: After you manually set your ringtones this problem is fixed
Overall I'm really sad that they did this, I really thought HTC genuinely cares about quality and its customers.
When Sense 4.0 ROMs become stable and rock solid I'm going to flash my device and never expect something from HTC again
[/rant]
While i agree there are a few bugs in ICS that need sorting, overall ICS on the Sensation is much better than Gingerbread.
No doudt HTC will sort out the bugs with a few small updates in the coming months.
@Pikabat, you’ve got a UK phone haven’t you? So you’ll only just have updated? Have you really given it enough time to give that sort of judgement? Besides the issue you’ve given aren’t life threatening are they? They sound like niggles. Apart from those issues does the phone run more smoothly? More responsive?

I have not updated to ICS the official way, but I think I have (thanks to mike1986) what who updated waiting until the very end of march has.
I want to say that I am a little bit disappointed too, because of the "beta release" to the elevate members that became the final release to everyone even if it has some bugs.
But I didn't notice all the bugs you are mentioning and you didn't talk about a very annoying one I really hate...the browser.
These are the bugs I actually have:
1. there are stupid spelling mistakes in italian too, but the music player, widgets and lockscreen wallpapers work well;
2. Sometimes the autobrightess when you exit the camera app stays to the maximum (same thing happened with GB);
3. the most annoying one...the browser not opening links from other apps, but opening the last visited page at the first tap instead, forcing you to exit and re-tap the link to have finally it loaded (a flashable zip by liamsstears fixed this).
4. Multitouch switches touches between two fingers when one stays on the screen and the other taps somewhere else.
So, after the browser fix and SebastianFM kernel that fixes the multitouch, I can say I have a really nice, fast and stable ICS with Sense 3.6 on my Sensation, thanks to HTC releasing it and to developers on xda fixing the embarrassing bugs HTC left in.
Do a hard reset, works wonders to allowing the OTA to 'take' so to speak. Not had any of the issues you've experienced (except the glaring spelling mistakes, but HTC are already aware of them)
What updates..don't think there be any..HTC has a habit oaf this new phones comes pit the forget about the old ones. Guess its time to forget HTC.

How come I don't see any of these spelling mistakes you people talk about? I mean I can't find "aerplane", where is it? And "Personal storage" is properly capitalized also.. I can only find "Develop option", but to be honest I'm not too sure that this really is a mistake, though english is not my native language. And widgets are fine too, including camera, no other issues also.
Is it possible that there were two OTA updates? One that was unfinished and was released by mistake, and the other one is 'final'?
I installed mine ICS through the official OTA way, followed it up with a hard reset and the only problems i share with you are the spelling mistakes....may it be worth doing one of these to see if it clears it up?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
I already did hard reset but issues are still there.
I listen to music on my phone very often that's why I know about all the small details and annoying things. Anyone knows another music app that I can use?

Yes I've upgraded today but I spent couple of hours to setup everything so I can pass judgement on the quality

As I said when you select custom wallpaper for lock screen it doesnt change. Cant take a picture of that but trust me its broken.
And 3 different writings for the same function

What do you call blinking? The artist name updating?
Yes, but that's minor compared to the delay that happens every time you skip a track. I can hear an odd sound similar to the one that you hear when you unplug headphones. I dont know how else I can explain that one

It seems that this specific thing is not working for me too. However there are no grammar mistakes hmm
Can you compare the software version page?

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
It is the same. How is this possible? Maybe HTC hasn't marked the beta version as beta before the leak so that there exist two different OTAs but with the same naming? I mean it would not be too surprising, after all, the unfinished final version wasn't supposed to be released at all.
My OTA update screens looked like this, earlier I did two screenshots of the updating process, just in case:
http://i41.tinypic.com/ick9b4.jpg
http://i39.tinypic.com/2j6a1bn.jpg
I see that it differs (the size for example) from the early leaked one in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536630
However, I didn't do a reset after the update, but it shouldn't affect the GUI text, should it?
I have no idea what is going on here Maybe you are right. What is your cid btw?

The OTA is not beta, it's just a few spelling mistakes in certain locales - they'll sort it out eventually

The One S is my mom's first touchscreen/smartphone. She's having a hard time to getting used to the phone. Is there a way to simplify things? I'm planning on rooting it and maybe seeing if there's a stock ICS ROM because Sense is so crowded, way too many options laid out. It's horrible. I actually don't like it myself.
Hey,
you can root it and use the rom cleaner script (in the theme section).
The script will remove all the bloatware and useless sense stuff. Maybe that is what you are looking for?
Trickdroid with the tweakpack gives also the choice to remove a lot of unwanted stuff. (development section)
But the basic functionalty stays the same. You can also just try another Launcher (Like Apex) and look if this works better for her.
it's mainly the Sense dialer and Mobilife app that I want to get rid of.
The Sense dialer isn't very friendly compared to TouchPal and exDialer. But I'm not having her use those because clearing the call will bring her back to Sense's call history.
Mobilife just makes it difficult to keep track of contacts. She has over 300 and I'm syncing them with Google, sometimes a contact shows so many different values to change (mobile #, home #, address,etc). I'd rather have Google take care of this.

Well that's why sense is good. You can just start typing the name of the person instead of the number, and the contract entry comes up.
As far as simplifying it...why don't you just get ADW (or another launcher which lets you edit your screens) and delete all screens but 2 or even 1, if easier. Then put her only needed applications on the dock for her and then lock the screen (again this may be an ADW feature) so nothing moves and gets lost accidentally.... Then let her use it for awhile until she is comfortable, and gradually introduce her to more features as she is ready?

I know i'm newb but I've tried looking/searching and cant see anything labeled ROM CLEANER in the theme section, could someone point me in the right direction as I want rid of the bloat that HTC and Orange have put on, but without losing any of the functionality or stableness of the stock I have as I need my phone working and do not always have good access to the net or a computer for that matter.
Also any other suggestions or tips would also be appreciated as coming from an non tech background alot of this can be quite confusing ^^
oh an my appolagies for the slight hijack of the thread but I'm kinda in the same boat so thought rather than starting a new thread asking more or less the same thing

It's 2012 and the One S is one of the most advanced smart phones on the market.
How about your mom step up her game? Also there are many choices of android phones so maybe the One S is not the one for her.

You're right, the One S is one of the most advanced smartphones. It's also why I decided to get it to future proof her instead of a dumb phone for the same price.
I played around with exDialer and have decided that this dialer is the easiest app with easy to read colors (after applying the SGS2 theme). I'm actually using it myself. I will have to root her phone to get the dismiss missed calls to work, but that's no problem.
Sense crashes on me constantly. I tried the fix suggested where you go unclick the activities setting in the development area, to no avail. Can any Cleanrom users tell me if this is problem for you (AT&T) after you rooted and installed CR on your phone?
What do you mean by crashing? Is it force closing or just reloading (get the loading circle)
If its reloading its because of HTC setting aggressive memory management.

I could have worded that better - I mean to say that HTC sense, on my vanilla AT&T rom, goes down a lot, and when you press the home button, it says "loading" for upwards of 20 seconds.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214, however while this seems to fix it for some folks, it does not fix it for others. It's still happening to me, sadly.
I am considering returning this for a SGIII, but I got to wondering if I root it and install CleanRom, maybe that fixes the issue to, in addition to removing the AT&T bloat.

That would be the aggressive management that HTC put into the phone same reason that the browser reloads the page after you close it.
If you find a ROM that locks sense into the memory then it should solve that.
I only have the t3 hox so I can't recommend any for at&t

bumping, in case some Cleanrom users can reply. I got really frustrated yesterday - set up my screens and launcher and folders all nice, just the way I like them, nad Sense reloaded - all of a sudden, the screens I had removed were back, my icons were all over the place, and my folders were not on the home screen. Super frustrating!
Hold on, it actually goes back to default layout after reloading as well?

Almost - I had five screens again, my folders were all bumped to the last screen (so I had to move them back to the home screen before I could delete the extra screens), and a bunch of icons appeared out of nowhere, all over the place. So, it didn't go back to default but it did jack everything up.
It may be something that never comes up because most people do not remove all the extra screens.

I doubt you're going to get many replies from CleanROM users over here, since you've posted this in the international (Tegra 3) subforums and CleanROM is for S4 devices so no-one here will be using it. You'd probably get a better response asking here (or you could maybe ask a mod to shift the thread for you).

WHOOPS! Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Well hello Welcome to the correct forums xD
CleanROM has many multitasking improvements, from what I've read, so it should help quite a bit.
And if you still don't like the multitasking, AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 or AOKP have perfect multitasking (I've been able to get up to 7 apps running with AOKP)
CleanROM 4.1
Using the latest version of CleanROM on the AT&T One X, I have none of the issues that you speak of. Multitasking is night-and-day (granted that you flashed the multitasking mod in the AROMA installer), battery life is stellar, and everything is rock-solid stable.
I've never seen sense reload on me but I don't play games much. Are you a big gamer? I've been using clean rom since it was introduced.
I haven't had Sense reload on me once since flashing CleanROM a month and a half ago. I play a ton of RAM heavy games too like NOVA 3 and as I said, not once has it happened.
I mostly use the web on mine, Google Music, and a couple minor games like Words By Post and Temple Run. Thank you all for the replies, this makes me feel a bit more hopeful. I'm a bit anti-Samsung at the moment, so I am glad to hear that maybe flashing a ROM will fix my problems. I was pretty close to just returning it.

Trust me man, flash CleanROM and you will fall in love with your HOX. The ROM is amazing and the dev is awesome. It is the way HTC should have shipped these things.
