My first android phone was Nexus One and after a year in December i bought Nexus S. Now i feel that i need a new phone or a tablet,right now i m little confused between samsung Galaxy s2 or Htc Sensation.
There are many forums on the net but the reason I m posting it here is that all the forums I've read and people are saying galaxy s2 is the right choice but I feel that sensation is better so I want u guys to pull from sgs2 to sensation's side.
Or
Should i go for Galaxy tablet or Asus EEEpad?

You're going to have to make that decision on your own after handling both. Both are powerful phones, and can do the same things, but the rest is up to your tastes. The SGS2 might be the most powerful phone in the world currently but that doesn't mean that the sensation isn't also really good. I have not personally seen the SGS2 in person so I cannot speak of it's build quality, but if it's anything like the original SGS then it leaves quite a bit to be desired. I never truly liked the plasticy feel of the phone, and always thought it felt cheap. SAMOLED + is also a feature that you have to decide on whether you like. I personally love AMOLED screens, but it's not an option for me right now. The screen on the Sensation is quite sharp and is no slouch either. Then there's the choice between Sense and TouchWiz. Both have their pro's and con's but it's also matter of your tastes. Sorry if i've been no help, but I still think only you can make that choice after handling them both.
Since you have a nexus s, and if you are happy with it, i'd go for a tablet. Which one? Don't know, never really looked into them enough to give any valuable advice.

I've seen a couple of videos and tests also (ie:quadrant advanced,neocore,linpack) in which sgs2 and "LG G2X" wins cmon,I've seen the stock phone is pretty laggy specially the browser and sense 3.0 helicopter view.
I m sorry I m saying whatever I saw no hard feelings please thanks

Agreed. If you have a Nexus S I would just go with the Galaxy tab 10.1
It's currently the most powerful and physically appealing android tablet on the market right now. The SGS2 and Sensation are amazing phones but i'd go with the tablet.

You asked, and we answered. Odds are that you already knew what the benchmark scores were, and already saw those youtube videos and if that's the case then stop trolling. What i'm saying is this. If the SGS2 is a Lamborghini, then the Sensation is a Bentley. Might not be as fast, but it sure looks damn nice.
What about the custom roms are increasing the performance I mean the browser lag and the sense 3.0 lag

I am xperia neo user and want to move on, and buy a new and more powerful phone.
The question is,
1. Is Sensation still worth to buy?
2. Is Sensation get official ICS update from HTC?
3. Is Development here better or worse than neo? At least from cyanogenmod.
4. Could someone give me a reason why sensation is still worth.

Way too many problems after ICS update, also the device, no matter how good it is, suffers same issue as any other electronics ... is getting old and Sensation is old. Maby you are one of those who like to tweak and fix your phone, if yes Sensation is great for you - i buy phones to be actually able to use them normaly with not that much effort put into that. Sensation just needs way too much of my attention with every new update to check what was fixed and what was ****ed more then it already was. Sensation is great piece of hardware - no doubt about that - with crap system and crap software released by a company that dont give a jack about its customers. Thats my experience with Sensation and actually any HTC so far.
But this is very specific, subjective, yet based on reality, point of view. Good luck with deciding anyway.

You sound bitter. The Sensation doesn't have any real issues for many, many people. Plenty of roms to choose from and the S3 processor is more than capable of handling ICS, Sense or not. It's a great phone.

Any chance it will get jelly bean?
I am tired to exchange my phone every three months.

What about battery life on sensation? With normal usage (stock and CM).

I came from an Xperia Play at the weekend. The Sensation is superior in every way. The UI is much more fluid in every ROM, bigger and nicer screen, much better build quality and camera. Loads of roms and kernels to choose from. Overall I'm very happy with it

I found mine very slow after I got ICS OTA upgrade to GB and was going to change phone (I only ever had about 60mb RAM spare).
Then I spent some time here learning about rooting/custom ROM's and went ahead and rooted/install custom ROM. I now have over 300mb RAM spare and my phone is nice and fast....now I like my Sensation again
I'm still using a 524MHz phone with no GPU, OC'ed to 710, so a Sensation should be easily fine with ICS (and yes, I'm on ICS too)
I think at hardware side its still one of the most powerfull phones. That official Android 4 is maybe a little fail (Home screen falls almost every time when you close some biiger app) and camera has really bad quality, but with custom roms these problems disapears. For actual price i would highly recommend you to buy this phone.
Thanks guys for your opinion, i think i'll get my sensation soon.

from last 10years i was using Nokia (3230, 5130, 2700, 5230 etc) This year i bought Micromax A100 and this is my 1st android device. After using 10 days i felt ANDROID sucks. Its laggy after installing 30-40 apps, RAM always show 50-90mb free. After minimizing opera min, dolphin browser and switching back to that app makes reload page again.
I think ANDROID is made for those high end cellphone which have higher hardware configuration i.e: 2GB RAM, 1GB DUAL CORE proccy etc.
i was very happy with old Nokia 5230
Try a different Android

Not quite sure who sold you on the Micromax A100 but you picked a horrible device for a starter Android experience. The reviews are horrible and if you are coming from a cooked down Nokia environment, then you will be disappointed with a device like this.
I do not know your region or carrier but there are much better devices running Android from Samsung and others that would be around the same you paid for the Micromax A100... ranging from free to $99.
Switch to ios. Next

Dude, you can't just buy some low end device and then complain about its lags. Cheap devices are not meant for smoothness. They are meant for general use. And I can still bet that this Android micromax is faster than your Nokia 5230

He totally said he was a decade long Nokia user... no iPhails mentioned.
But i must agree... this forum was never for what you hate... it is for questions, news and things you NEED/WANT.
you bought one of the WORST seriusly i mean it WORST mobile phone.
it has android ICS with Adreno 200. Ics is not meant for such phones. Dont complain for lag when you buy such a bad phone.
You could buy a budget device like xperia live with walkman it cost about the same. (maybe lower)
Just search before you buy.
As a lot of other people have stated in the thread, the Micromax A100 is a pretty terrible device that's not even optimized for the android version that it runs. The gift and curse of affordable android is that 99 times out of 100 it won't be a super duper fantastic experience like say... getting an iphone would, but the good part about android is that there are affordable devices that do most of the same things. Not all, like higher end games and all that jazz, but most. If you want to have an amazing experience with a phone in general, you're looking at spending at least 400 smackers on a device with all the right specs running the latest possible android version.

Download a root checker app? I know some are really easy to root, but I wouldn't trust something of I didn't understand what it was doing in the fist place.
I don't really know what you can do to make your phone "faster". Maybe there are custom ROMs for it that could help a bit, removing bloat, et cetera - but they are things that will make small differences, not huge ones.
You can't add more RAM, so re-draws and such are inevitable unless bloatware is taking up a huge, huge part of that.
And, yeah, an OS and the hardware are hugely connected. You could put Windows 7 on an underpowered machine and watch it lag and freeze and struggle - but can you really judge it from that?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
As a fellow Nokia lover, try the 820 or 920. Beats any prior Nokia device and walks all over android.
Since you have rooted already , uninstall any micromax bloatware that your phone might have been shipped with. Use opera mini instead of dolphin browser. Get rid of most of the widgets that you seldom use. I used Samsung Galaxy 5 for a year on gingerbread , I know what you are talking about.

My phone has worst specs than yours and it doesn't lag. Mostly its the ROM its running and any stock ROM on any phone is slow and laggy so just root it and put on a new vanilla custom ROM on it and problem solved. I did and my phone is running alot smother and better.
learn, read, find forums here or search for forums on google regarding the handset that you are using and try to make it into the smartphone to give you a better experience...that is the fun about android my friend....and also if you are not happy with your current phone why not just trade it for something else..many entry level android handsets out there that are realy good and will give you a good android experience...need any help feel free to hit me with a PM...and guys mind your language here..we all here to respect other members and still help others who have difficulty no matter how they feel about android

You chose one of the worst phones available. Your phone is the equivalent of a NES console where a galaxy note is the equivalent of a ps3. (not that the nes isnt epic its just old hardware,..) We have games that can rival consoles in terms of graphics and game play now and true 1080p hd resolutions backed up by quad cores and 2gb ram etc. Your phone sucks plain and simple not android. My G Note flys. Its as fast as my computer and normally have cmore than 400mb ram free our of the 1GB lol

3rd: Yeah our battery is not the biggest but damn..it's a 170 euro phone go get yourself a 3650mAh battery (might look a little bulky but will surely last longer) also you could buy a couple of spare same 1700mAh batteries and carry them with ya?
4th: The is no yet official jelly bean, now yeah you will tell me that MC8 is branded and shyt..yeah still I highly doubt that this is in any way a final firmware (This means that bugs are STILL expected)
5th and last: I won't lie to you samsung has very bad support for their mid-range devices and even on higher end ones so yeah, if you are an update maniac get yourself a nice nexus phone which is on a ridiculously low price right now on amazon.

I have to say, I don't love my ACE 2 but I like it alright.
Good cheap phone. I dont have lag's. Battery life is good, nice camera, good display, JB runs smooth with mc8/The Italian Job, games(most of them) works without major problems, only thing that i dont like on him is lack's of more custom roms. That is the only disadvantage for me. For such a cheap device is pretty good.

Then just buy a different device - how simple is that. For me this phone has everything I need. I'm not gamer and making pictures not often. General use for me is internet. Screen size is just right. So will it be good device or will it suck is defined mainly by your needs. For me it covers my needs compeletly so it is good device.
Regards!
This is my favourite Android phone so far (I think I've had 7 or 8). I prefer it to my Nexus 4. Size, speed, battery life are all just right. Still not as geeky as my Nokia N900 or as cool looking as my Ericsson T39, but no Android phones are!
I suggest you one thing: go to your local resell and buy another phone; I think is good, and I don't trust your opinion..
No one cares If is good for you or not..
Can someone close that thread?
This is provocation.
It may not be the best phone but its worth ur money. Plus we got the jb we asked for. The onlu thing i dont like about this phone is the lcd bleed on the top of my screen that creates a fog on the side screen sometimes. And the lack of cm10 makes me impatient.

I'm junior too, damn...
I bought because of freedom for modding.
I had an iPhone and I missed mod features, even with Jailbreak.
Junior or senior is not a subject
Only matters who help
I have not bought android for development but now is in this section for about 2 months

I originally moved from an iPhone 5, to an HTC One X. I loved the hardware, but HATED the software, AND getting root was taking a while. Then, I switched to a Nexus 4 and loved stock Android!
Now I have a Samsung S4 in CM10.2. I AM LOVING IT!

I get grief from dozens of iphone users around me daily so I've gotten used to this.
I think half of it is just having it from the start, so I am used to it. (But I don't say that). I think Widgets, customization are what keep me coming back. And my life is completely integrated with the google suite of products, so having that so seemless is a huge boon to me.
Bought an android because I've been using Linux for 18 years. Dropped micro**** 15 years ago, and will not look back. Since I dropped micro****, I won't buy into i****. Simple as that

Because you can do every kind of personalization without so much efforts

Honestly? The big screens. And the free apps.
I really don't have much use for visual customizations, and iPhones don't need to be overclocked to play games, so long as you have a newer one.
Because it's Open Source. And because they sell user experience, not fancy brand name like Apple does!
Just for experimentation..!!
All my life i have been using symbian devices, and still do. Infact my primary mobile happens to be a nokia 5233 & the second one is an android (celkon A200).
I absolutely love the simplicity of the Symbian devices, and bought an android just for experimentation, college projects and the sheer fun of customising it...
:laugh:
I own a galaxy s3 mini. Well i got it to have a great phone thats not too large. Rooted and flashed a custom rom it works great

I bought android device mainly because i want to learn to make mobile application in android..
One reason - Hyperdrive RLS
My love for Google.
I bought SGS II because it's good phone(pretty powerful). There was so many good feedback about it, lots of free apps and easy to modify.
And my nokia only had bugs, turned off without reason, touchscreen didn't respond well and it was slooow!
I'm really happy with my sgs2 running on PA 4.3, Alpha.

I bought android phones because its very customizeable.
I'll be making the switch in a couple weeks. List of my devices and where I am now.
Droid X, Thunderbolt, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 Razr Maxx HD and back to iPhone 4.
iPhone 4 has been great and dependable with amazing battery life. But Android is coming on stronger than ever and has me wanting the change for good. Plus, the looks of iOS 7 is ugly and new features seem outdated.
I bought an android phone as it is highly customisable and gives you freedom to mod which you dont get on any other os.
I've wanted to make the switch for a while now. After my iPhone's screen (finally) busted after 4 years of use, I decided to use the opportunity to switch. iOS just made me feel too locked in, even jailbroken (which was always quite a pain - getting the right OS version, the right tools, making sure you don't update baseband - ugh), and I really hated the fact that the only way to sync it is via iTunes - terrible for a person like me, who spends most of their time in Linux.
I have to say, I couldn't be happier - I've actually been thinking about throwing other people's iPhones on the ground, so that they can join the fun :laugh:
