Finally had it with the G2x -- Got a Sensation

T mobile is a good company to work with. I've traded 4 phones in 4 weeks, and by far, the Sensation is a great device.
The only thing I've noticed is that when using MX video hardware decoding for divx movies is choppy. Software decoding is on PAR.
The other little gotcha is that it has rebooted 11 times since I've started using it. Coming from the lock screen as well as, just in general sitting there ( 2 days). T mobile is sending me another one. (Never does it on Wifi calling is on, which I have noticed...)

Usually reboots either if it's over clocked in anyway or Sense using too much memory. But glad you are getting good service from the folks at tmo. I have to call into service to get such service/answers lol. Have fun!

Congrats! Sensation is turning out to be the best device for me so far.

Welcome to the club! Same story here.
That G2x was the biggest POS ever made.
HTC is soooo much better.

Your sensation should NEVER have to reboot unless you have over clocked it. I saw what LG was about to do like nokia did with the n900 and i quickly jump ship. Wasn't going to be burned again.

Welcome to the hood! the Sensation on tmob rocks in Vegas!

They are really helpful, my sister got the sensation too and was having problems with phone not charging, I took it back and they replaced it for a brand new.

My GF has a g2x and there is little wrong with it. GPS sucks from time to time and the camera is lacking...Thats it.
It has MUCH less issues than my sensation has, thats for sure. Its got great battery life (mine sucks), SMOOTH GLASS (mine feels tacky), and a buttery smooth browser. (Mine is jittery and rough).
Best of all, it was free for her (adding a line).

Cool that tmo is sending you another one. Just curious, are you running stock rom and kernel? Both mine and my wife's sensations used to reboot several times a day on the stock tmous 2.3.3 rom and kernel. The problem went away after I started messing with our phones a bit more.
My MX seems to play fine. Mkvs, avis, you name it, it plays.

Hey Bigmixx, I noticed you from tmonews. You always have good points to make. I too was having issues with my Vibrant, and T-Mobile hooked me up with a refurbished Sensation. I'm sure the problems you were having were with that device only because my Sensation is working well. Now I know what it's like to have a decent Android device!

Im too come from LG..O2X, similar to g2x..haha..really glad i did it..

[Q] ICS App Issue

Hi there everybody. I want to ask you a question. I have a issue with Asphalt 6. It's a cencor issue. When i look it to calibrate the cencor it seems normally. But in asphalt game the cencor is very very uncalibrated. I have to turn my phone nearly 80 degree (almost vertical) to drive it on a line. I am not sure but i think there will be another issues with another games. So any solution?
And there are some issues with other gameloft games too. Example: Modern Combat.
I have an Applanet issue too but it seems everybody has it. So i ignore it.
Sorry for my bad english.

That's an app issue, I've had the problem with my galaxy s running ics too. The app needs to be updated by gameloft to support ics. If I remember correctly, you can get their latest beta (After you buy it!) from their forums by emailing them which should fix the issue.

Emulators

Is anyone else having trouble with playing emulators while HDMI outing to their TV while playing emulators? I tried some different test cases: Playing a mix of the different *oid emulators just on my phone, while using a ps3 controller, and while using a ps3 controller with the output being displayed on my TV. The only case in which I got unbearable lag and stuttering was when I use outputing to my TV through a monoprice MLH adapter. Everything ran smoothly otherwise. Furthermore I ran Cool Tool in the background to watch my cpu usage and even though it was lagging the cpu usage wasn't spiking or getting very high. Is anyone else having problem with HDMI out? I don't know why this faster phone can't even handle something my slower year old Atrix could

I believe most emulators aren't coded properly for ICS. I gave up on them for now. If you want a little boost, try out the dual core mod.

I have also noticed that emulators don't work as they did pre-ICS. My galaxy s2 running CM7 ran bit64/n64oid much smoother than my HOXL does on Clean Rom 2.6.

This is very infuriating. Using it as my phone as a retro game station used to be one of the biggest things I did with it and now I can't. Which emulators have people tried that don't seem to work that well on ICS? So far I know the oid ones at least don't seem to work too well.

Yea from my understanding a lot of emulator dev was being completed a while back, and then everything was taken off the market. A few new emulators are poping up again but they don't seem to be optimised for ICS or JB. A real shame as I too enjoyed the ol Mario 64 and GoldenEye.

I don't have any trouble with FPse (psx emulator) lagging, but then again it gets updates every week. Gotta have my twisted metal!
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2

How many pages back did you have to go to find this thread lol. But really since then I've found on most emulators the games are actually playing at full fps just fine, it's the audio that is lagging which makes playing them unbearable. On all of the oid's I was able to get no slow downs in video just fine. It's just the audio that sounds like crap. The DAC on these phones just seems to really suck.

Download the slideme market, and search "yongzh"
Hehe

The latest update to fpse made everything silky smooth and perfect audio. Runs at 160 fps so I had to use framelimiter in the app settings so everything wasn't running so fast lol

That's what I'm wondering. I have been trying to play FF9 for ages and just can't get it to run smoothly since he started trying to use opengl (started back on my Atrix) and just gave up. I tried again today and still no good.

I don't use opengl on mine. Although it makes a few things look prettier it messes up a lot of the effects in twisted metal, mainly smoke and water. For now I'm content with the default render settings.

Ah yeah well even my Atrix can do full speed software rendering with fpse. It looks so bad though especially the ff games which looked so good.

I have the same problem. Dont know whats causing it other than rockstar havent programed somthing correctly.
Im running a HTC ONE XL, Telstra branded.

Same here - EVO 3D with ICS, sound is crackling

Same issue, att HOX. I thought it was beats audio at first, but even when you turn it off, the crackling remains.

You're not alone, I get the same with Max Payne, with GTA3, occasionally with Osmos HD... Some games are fine, others aren't.

I was having the same issue when I got the ICS update to my HTC EVO 3D. I contacted Rockstar and this is what they are telling me:
"I was talking to some people here in the office and they said that we have had previous problems with sound on the Ice Cream Sandwhich with GTA III Mobile. It looks like as of now there isn't a direct fix. You may want to revert back to your previous OS to fix the issue.
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience"
So yeah. Its all about the game and I dont think an update is coming for this issue. Not right now at least...

Yeah. I have this problem and it's really annoying. Only seems to happen when playing quality sound games like GTA. Doesn't happen in scramble free.
I called HTC support and they said it's because their speakers are too small.

No its not beacuse of HTC, its because of Rockstar and their programming. I was playing without any issues when I was running Andoird 2.3.4, but when OTA ICS update came, the crackling started. Its not becuase of the speakers, its all about the game.
I never tried GTA3 after the update, but it was fine for me when I was on 2.3.4, didnt had any issues, it was running without any issues just like Max Payne.

I'm happy to confirm that this issue stopped for me after installing the stock Asia 2.23 ROM. :good:

I never had that issue on my HOX, but I have on my TouchPad. It appears to happen for no rhyme or reason.

yeah. i played it on my XE too. its not perfect, but its good. just sometimes the accelerometer stops working or something else. the car's steer freezes and it goes at a direction for some seconds and then it comes back to normal. i don't know that it is my phone's problem or the game's.

I have played through the entire game on my Sensation. At first I was hesitant to purchase it because I didn't know if it would run at all. To my surprise it ran reasonably well even on the stock Sense image I was using at the time. However, after playing through it a little there was obvious lag, stutters and just hiccups that would come at inopportune times and cause you to lose the race. I then switched launchers to Nova while still retaining the stock Sense ROM. Things got better, much better actually, but still not good enough. Then I rooted and went to cm9.1 stable + Nova and things were almost perfect! I played through the rest of the game, actually pretty much the whole game, with cm9.1 + stable and there were only a few occasions where framerates degraded or hiccups/stutters messed up the gameplay. I thought what I was seeing was pretty much the best the sensation could do. That was until I recently upgraded to Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang. With that ROM NFS-MW is now running practically perfect. I think the key difference here is the amount of free RAM. With CM10.1 I have significantly more free RAM and can hold open 2 or 3 times more apps than with CM9.1. The Sensation is severely lacking in the RAM department and NFS-MW is a very memory-demanding game. The lighter the OS load, the more RAM is available to the game, the less swapping occurs and the ultimately the more fluid the game plays. Hope that helps.

perfectly running under cm10 by albinoman
if you are running sense, use faux kernel 10b9 or 10b8 overclock it to 1.7 then use intellidemand as governor.
