Now we know why there is no ATT One X available.. This is ridiculous
See theVerge for the news
Sorry for no URL, new User !!
I don't care one bit, I already have my One X and I'm loving it
It is absolutely ridiculous though, especially considering that this is a core feature that practically every smartphone on the planet is expected to have. I think Apple is just pissed that Android does it better than iOS.

What's funny is almost every os does this . Actionable links ... Windows, linux, OSX, android , webos ... Confused ? Apple sucks balls . Glad I have my one x

I'm so glad I switched to this phone from the iPhone. If you can't beat them sue them.
My first smartphone
I am loving my phone as well, bought it launch day. Its been great going so far.
Although I do like apple, this is just ridiculous !!
PS: In XDA, you always get recaptcha when posting a reply or its a newbie thing ?
Ive noticed a lot of complaints about the links etc not working on this device... Youtube opening up web link instead of the player for example. HTC attempted to fix the complaint The things you are allowed to patent are amazing..

Bugs? What bugs?
Love it or hate it...without iOS, there would be no Android or any finger-based OS at all...
It amazes me that people forget that resistive touchscreen was the hottest thing available until Apple's hardware and software changed everything...
I guess only people that used WM5/6 can truly understand how much things have changed.
And yes, I do think the lawsuits are pointless and stupid. However, it goes both ways. Heck, Motorola is "winning" against Apple right now. No push email for Germany users lol.
so i wonder what's gonna happen. Will they drop the one x?

You forget who Apple drew inspiration from...namely Palm (lots and lots on inspiration) and the LG Prada with its capacitive touchscreen. But Apple did do a good job combining these two.
I wonder if HTC saw this coming and wanted to get some hardware through customs before the deadline. Could explain a few of the bugs...
I am confused though. There's a thread about clickable links in email not working.
However, my links in my messages and emails click just fine and open in my default browser...
So is it possible that an update will cripple these functions in the future?

You have to manually fix it. If you want YouTube links to open in the YouTube app, you have to remove the HTCLinkifydispatcher.apk in Systems/App and reboot
You can try disabling it. Since I am rooted, I just deleted the apk and rebooted and all YouTube videos/links open the YouTube app
Just ordered mine by calling at&t

Beta is out, if its ok I will post.
Got my invite as well. So far looking good. Nice GUI plus response. I find it WAY faster than Trillian Beta, although some Skype and Video exchange might be good for next release
The end of the email reads:
"Also, please understand that the build is only for folks who have registered with us for the beta program and is not intended to be shared with any one. "
So now I ask you. Do you think its ok to post it?

That's cute, but why should someone have to Google something that someone's advertising. Obviously if you announce that something out its to garner interest, no? With that being the case, ways the harm in typing even a one sentence description? Seems pretty common sense.
And I just realized that the last two responses before that post could've been a simple description as well, but acting like someone doesn't know what Google is in an Android forum seems to take priority over posting something useful.
Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, it's a messenging client for multiple services. I love things like trillian on my pc so ill be waiting for this one
I'm on it now, it rules. I just pray that it doesn't become a permanent beta like the wm version

Have you noticed how quick HTC & Sprint are to fix the issues with the Evo 3D?
Evo 3D has had 2 updates already. 1 before and 1 right after launch.
T-Mo on the other hand does nothing..and the Sensation has way more issues than the Evo 3D.
Let's weigh in and see what you guys think the reason is.
Personally i think it was just a bad batch or 2. Each device seems to have different versions of different problems. most people are only complaining because they go looking for an issue most times. Dust can only be seen if the screen is off is not anything honestly to complain about to me. A couple dead pixels? yes. Lag and things like that can be fixed i think.

T-Mo likes to put out collective updates that fix multiple things, rather than two small updates that might lead to other issues...
There aren't many major issues with this phone either...most of the ones complained about are hardware (which must be replaced) or user error. There are alot of clueless people complaining about problems that aren't even problems here.
Agree with the above post.....
People have to keep mind that the Sensation is, for a vast majority of owners, a problem free device.
Other than a speck of dust on my first one, my second one is just about perfect....hardware and software.
It's a VERY small % of Sensation owners that ever even look at any forums, let alone post on forums. Even then, the people who are on this forum and have major issues over and over are in the extreme minority.
As far as updates and s-off and all that stuff....wasn't it just a month ago that the CEO of HTC said they were going to change their policy on bootloaders? Thats not long at all...gotta give corporations time to get their ducks in a row.
For me and a VAST majority of owners of this device.....its great and doesn't really need anything that's urgent or absolutely necessary....
Oh....the OP should add one more poll question..... Is everything great with your device? My answer would be yes!
Htc has already "leaked" an update for their unbranded sensations...

IDK how to edit the questions..I tried...but i dont see a way to edit my posting other than what I typed.
Have you seen the reviews on tmobile.com? This phone has 5 STARS. There's 2 reviews that have 1 star. Probably from an apple fanboy who created accounts to spam.
I picked up my Sensation today, and the only thing that bothers me is the dang voicemail icon that's always there. Other than that. This phone is pretty awesome, and T-Mobile's network speeds compared to what I was getting with Sprint makes me wonder how in the world I stayed with Sprint so long.

So far I'm quite happy with my Sensation. Best device I've had and I've had quite a few. However, it does seem that the Sensation is being pushed aside. At Bestbuy today there were plenty of accessories for the 3D including the Otterbox cases but absolutely nothing for the Sensation. Why? I'm not sure but its becoming rather annoying as this seems to be the case everywhere so far.

the point is Android is open source while WP is not
Yes thank you I understand that. Winmo 6 and earlier were not open source either. It didn't keep people from doing all kinds of amazing stuff with it. I know that as of now there's no real way for people to get wp7 onto android phones but it doesnt mean it won't or can't ever happen. Personally, I don't really care as I think it kinda blows anyways but I'm all for people hacking whoppers into McD's restaurants.

Hi everyone!
As of today, I am no longer an owner of an Android phone. Yes, I have gone over to 'the dark side' (Apple) and gotten an iPhone. Many of you won't recognize my name, but I wanted to thank all of the Infuse devs for their hard work and generosity! I've been a part of (at least lurked) a few android dev forums on XDA, and I think the Infuse dev section is probably the nicest and most friendly one I've encountered. This isn't just for the devs, but for everyone else - THANK YOU for your friendliness, helpful attitudes, willingness to post and answer questions! This is somewhat of a model for how other forums should treat its members and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
Thanks again everyone!

Not gonna bash in anyone's options or choices ....but I came from an iPhone 4s ....don't get me wrong they're amazing phones...really good phones...amazing display camera apps etc...
But it lacks customization even jailbroken...which is I came back to Android ....but all is well that ends well so have fun with it and best regards
Have fun dealing with itunes. Poor bastard.
Have fun with it; that includes and IS limited to: one keyboard, one browser, one rom, one theme/icons set, one..er..no widgets or app drawer, one clock speed, 3G speeds, and timely updates/itunes. (can't totallly bash lol)
Regardless of how AT&T brands the 4S, its still 3G (Don't let the name confuse you as it has some of my friends)

Android is for ppl who like to change up their phone; when I get tired of looking at a certain set up, I change it and boom, its like a new phone. iOS is just a solid OS that's easy to use, that's what a lot of ppl want.

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).
To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .
