[Q] htc sensation performance on gaming - HTC Sensation

Iam planning to sell my galaxy S and replace it with HTc sensation, is htc sensation a good phone to play HD games and other heavy aplications? considering its more powerful hardware compared to the galaxy S, will I get huge boost performance on games? I play games a lot btw. thanks

Well, as far as gaming is concerned, most games work on the sensation without any difficulties. The only games unplayable is games for.tegra 3 phones. But all in all, changing from a galaxy s, its a big step forward. Do click thanks if i helped in any way;-) cheers~

you will enter in a new world...really...this phone at 1.2ghz runs games without any lag, it's incredible!!!! you can kick up the cpu at 1.5 or max at 1.7 if you want more performance....I prefer the lcd screen instead the led, colors are great, images are really good!!

yes, this device is awesome at gaming. and supported by all HD games.
unless, those that are tegra 3 specific.
i can tell it won't be any time soon that this phone looses it's hardware capabilities. adreno 220 is pretty good

thanks for your feedback guys,no longer hesitated now . gonna buy sensation soon

playing games consumes a lot of resources (you know it )
i have a htc desire hd... has a 1ghz powerful snapdragon processor, that if you "root" your device and installs a new kernel you can speed up to 1.8ghz!!!!the only thing that can not agree to you is that his big display (4.3")is only an LCD screen.
seems well for gamming but i recommend to you WAIT for thE htc SENSATION.. it´s cool because has A DUAL CORE processor sooooooo powerful!! and has a LED DISPLAY and the best resolution (comparing htc phones)
sensation has more than 1 gb of ram memory....
b
ut xperia play is the most comfortable phone for gamming... 1ghz processor overclockable of course... has the buttons like PSP...and the lastst android version 2.3.3 gingerbread..
But the graphical environment is the worst comparing it with desire hd, galaxy s (galaxy s have better proccessor than desire hd but the same speed) and certainly the sensation
xperia play has a super LCD display. (poor performance comparing with LED panels)
It's better with dual core phone for gaming I guess.. try galaxy s2..

the quality of the processor of SGS is better (arm cortex)and counts with GPU technology for better power and battery administration..
also the SGS has better display than DHD, sgs is a superlcd retroilluminated by LEDS (called SUPERAMOLED)
DHD display is a simple LCD DISPLAY (MADED BY SHARP certainly)
and the processor of DHD iS a QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON...It has less quality than ARM CORTEX...
CONCLUSSION: SGS has better H/W than DHD..
htc Desire HD is my choice
Xperia x10 with any gingerbread rom or xperia play

[Q]buy nexus s or wait for dual cores ??

Help needed!!!! I am really confused what to do , whether to buy a nexus s now or wait for dual -core phones .I just dont want to buy something for 20k that might be outdated soon.
Nexus s will pretty much run anything out right now.. Don't play the waiting game, get it if the price is right? It's technology.. Every few months there is newer and more expensive **** out

If you want to play the waiting game, wait for the next Nexus. I wouldn't ever buy or recommend a non-Nexus Android.

Ya...thats what.Even i dont want to wait because my budget was around 18k, i stretched it to 20k(current price of nexus s in inr)...the budget is so strict that i cant even stretch it to buy sgs i9000(which i dont feel is worth buying when compared to nexus s)...and my requirement is that heavy (gameloft-ish)games should work smoothly ...which i think nexus s with its 1ghz humming bird procc & PowerVR SGX 540 would handle quite well atleast for an year or so ..and plus there is a chance that nexus s will be getting ICS ...so i think i should just buy it now ...and 20k for nexus s is a steal i think !
The nexus s is an awesome phone for the price now (320 € in Germany). I wouldn't spend almost twice as much for a double core.
Btw, I'm not sure where you're from but in the states when you say 20k that k stands for thousands. So $20,000 is a bit much for the Nexus S. I only paid $200 for mine

Gaming? Nexus S is never your wrong choice. Haha.
You can use Chainfire 3D on Nexus S to play Tegra 2 games,
you can overclock your phone using Trinity 1.576 kernel to maximize your game experience.
What more do you want when the 1.576 kernel give a same quadrant score (or even higher) than duo core phone such as Optimus 2x ang SGSII??
In conclusion, get me to help you when you got your nexus, I will give you all the necessary file/kernel/rom/apps for maximum gaming experience
I am a gamer (only when holiday,LOL) with 24 hours charging my phone
after personally trying both optimus 2x and atrix for more than 2 weeks each. " brother has atrix and i got optimus 2x from my friend to use it since he doesnt want it " got galaxy s2", i would go for nexus S
the reason is simple. this is all marketing bs. there is nothing that can run on galaxy s2 or atrix or optimus 2x that cant run on nexus S . everything runs perfectly fine on nexus S. no lag. perfectly fine.
the only thing that wont run are the nvidia games. but as far as i know. they are all been ported to other phones.
however. what broke it up was skype. to know that skype was released for video chat only on 4 phones and nexus is one of them. made me note something. i have to get that phone. not because of skype. but because clearly. its a dev platform. when skype tested their video call. they tested it on nexus. even with the mods. skype till now cant run video calls on optimus 2x and tegra. do to the fact tegra cant read some codes. i think mods are looking into it but i dont have high hopes at all. because this is not the first time dev get stuck on something like that. " same code "
if you are talking about dual core phones as galaxy s2. then this is another story.
GS2 is superior phone. there is no doubt about it. better and bigger screen. thinner, faster. but u will also get stuck with 2 things
- google updates... u wont get any till samsung give their blessing
- some problems running some games " again. some issue with reading codes. while this is being sported out by devs here, its still not perfect. "

where i can download chainfire 3d ?
also. i dont advise overclocking your phone. it shorten the lfie of your cpu/gpu.
i would definitely choose the Nexus S .. its a powerful beast ..
1, 1ghz processor is enough for everything
2, gpu 540 - can handle all the games - much stronger than the most used adreno 200 or 205
3, updates directly from google! - how fast your phone is depends also on the OS ..
4,you get comparable scores when you tweak your phone vs dualcores -sometimes even more
5,the chipset used in Nexus S has one of the best audio chips used in a device - regarding that Voodoo Sound - it seriously killed my ipod, my Hi-Fi at home .. i just use that ..
6, you want more? you can play 720p MKV on this hardware - you cant do that on most dualcore - coz they miss the hq mkv profile - diceplayer
7,skype video calls? here we go
8, NFC - the future is already there
u know google decided to make "the phone" and when they do one .. they mostly put all the best stuff into it from that "time frame" ..

I agree.
NVIDIA Tegra2 dual core : Video decoder is too bad...Hard to play H.264 High profile.
Snapdragon dual core : Video is not so good but can play 720p MKV using diceplayer.
Exynos dual core : GREAT Video decoder. it can play 1080p High profile.
if you have HDMI-out cable, your phone turn into video player.

CPU won't clock at fullspeed...

Hey guys,
I noticed that there was some lag when i was playing for example Riptide or Shadowgun..then I installed System Panel to monitor my cpu clock speed while i'm playing shadowgun and this is what it showed:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43585032/2012-04-11_22-52-02.png
This processor runs barely half the speed of what its capable of. this is causing fps drops..
Does anyone have an idea of whats going on there? Are you suffering from the same problem?
Edit:
SuperPi seems to stress out the dual core properly:

Why don't the games? Is this why the games aren't optimized yet or is this a system-issue?
greets,
ossy1337
Aren't those optimized for the tegra 2/3 or are they readily available apps?
Yes they're tegra optimized but they ran flawlessly on my Galaxy S2..
Hope the games will be optimized in the next few days/weeks

I think it has more to do with ICS.. the Galaxy Nexus only runs at half clockspeed most of the time as well. Hell when I had mine it ran at the lowest clockspeed the majority of the time, and only when playing N64 could I bump it up to 700mhz. But hey if it's not lagging who cares (in the case of the Nexus)
I installed setcpu and decreased the up threshold to 40% ..before it was on 90% which means that the cpu only clocked up at 90% cpu load.. now it does at 40%. this solved my problem
+1 sounds like the best solution. Battery life may be sacrificed but hey, 90% is pretty ridiculous
If you weren't using tegra based games use shadowgun and riptide. Used the playstore ones you would get no frames drops. Mostly likely chainfire 3d developer would need an one s as it a vastly different from s3 processors. I personally have both on a SamsungGalaxySII with s3 processors with no frame drops. GPU configuration might not play nice with Krait.

[Q] Purchasing Question

Dear Sensation users,
i am planning to purchase sensation due to these features
- Can be upgrade-able to 4.0.4 pure ics(non-sense)
- can be overclocked upto 1.6ghz
- can be battery life improvable
- can be gaming machine
Does it is worth to purchase Htc sensation ?
to all of that yes
I have some more question,
Does its rooting process is complex ?
I saw two phones.Sensation and sensation 4G,what are their differences ?

no differences at all.just only 4G
I bought mine in November and have been happy with it. FWIW, I have a stable overclock at 1782 MHz on core 0 and 1728 MHz on core 1. Mine was already S-OFF and rooted when I bought it, so I didn't need to mess with that. Unlocking, updating firmware and whatnot was simple. Mine also came with an Anker battery and no stock battery, so I'm not sure how they compare. Battery life with the Anker is fine for my needs and better than my last phone. There are two things I can think of that I wasn't totally prepared for when I bought the phone. One is that the speaker is pretty ****ty. There are instructions here on how to increase the volume to a more reasonable level, but the speaker is still pretty lousy. Also, these phones get dust trapped under the screen. I can't see it in a dimly lit room, but it is noticeable and a bit annoying under bright lighting. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

What about its gaming performance on CM9/10.1 ?
gaming
The gaming is pretty awesome. I would suggest rooting the phone and flashing CyanogenMod 10.1 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520 )
Android 4.04 may shore some signs of lag, but with android 4.2.2, the lag is gone ( thanks to project butter )
I would suggest 4.2.2 for gaming. Also, I can over clock my phone to 1966 Mhz.

Does its CPU is will be fry ?
cpu overclock
Sorry. Its not 1966 MHz but 1944 MHz. I never had an issue with the CPU being too hot. I have the app setCPU installed on my phone and that's how you over clock it to 1944 mhz. You never really need your processor at that speed for games though. I usually set my CPU at a max speed of about 1600 MHz because it uses a lot of battery if you set your CPU too high..
Sensation users,
How was the stability of the phone ? (such as touch,performance,gaming etc)
Honestly, I own a Sensation and it was a great phone when it was released. But nowdays, I find it a bit hard to understand why you'd still recommend it to anyone.
-It most likely will never get Jelly Bean from HTC
-the hardware doesnt get any younger
-if you're unlucky you get a device with the dust-under-screen problem

I would rate the touch screen 4.8/5 because it rarely glitches
Performance 4.2/5 its good enough for me except for the ppi and video playback
Gaming 4.5/5 the games perform well...occasional lag
Overall i would rate the phone 4.5/5. It's a nice phone (one of the best when it came out) but nowadays it's not a tier 1 phone. There are phones like the Samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC one (m7) that outclass this phone.
The biggest disadvantage to this phone is probably the tiny 1520 milliamp stock battery, but otherwise it's nice if you root it and flash your custom ROM ( I have CyanogenMod 10.1 based off of android 4.2.2)

- Touch screen can be improved with any tweaks
- Video playback can be improved with bravia engine II installed
- Gaming can be improved also with overclocking
and yeah SGS IV and Htc one is an full horse powered phone.Battery problem is a kinda real problem for me,does it has any expanded battery ?
You can get a power skin for the sensation(1520 milliamp) or an anker replacement battery (1900 milliamp)
By the way, how do you install bravia engine II?

PS: in htc explorer.its touchscreen is runs as fluid.
so this is normal on every sensation series have a touchscreen issue?

Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) - Games Focus

Hi all, for those of you interested, I shot a video focus on the GT-I9505 performance while running cpu/gpu intensive games like Real Racing 3, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Asphalt 7, Dead Trigger, etc
http://youtu.be/Ibj_o5YahhM
Ciaoooooo
Very nice video!
One concern that I had, and now after watching this video is an even bigger concern, is gaming performance. Overall all games are somewhat lagging, I believe that this is due to the high resolution, that not only it has to process more pixels, but also requires additional video memory, which I believe is shared with the system memory.
I got very excited to buy this phone after S4 GE announcement, but now I'm skeptical, I have seen the Nexus 4 running games a lot smoother than this and I'm worried I will have to upgrade again soon in the future for a phone with a better GPU like Adreno 330 to be able to play newer games in 1920x1080 while the Nexus 4 could still play the same game smoothly.
What do you guys think? are you also disappointed with gaming performance?

Frankly speaking, I'm disappointed for the whole performance experience with my GT-I9505. The whole system it's not perfectly smooth and there's some stuttering here and there. The same issue obviously happen during games, although it's not so noticeable.
To be honest, any device I tried with the recent Qualcomm architecture (I mean both APQ8064 and APQ8064T Snapdragon 600), screen resolution apart, was not completely smooth during games like NFSMW or Real Racing 3. And, just to give a term of comparison, I had: PadFone 2, Nexus 4, Xperia Z, Optimus G, HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). On Android OS, I could just see the Galaxy Note 2 (Exynos and Mali of course) running almost perfectly smooth Need For Speed Most Wanted. Then, I wouldn't be that worried about games and even more about general performances of GT-I9505. Samsung it's relatively new to APQ8064(T), then I guess it can only get better in the next updates.
Any game not running perfect on this phone just needs optimization that's all. The soc is relatively new in most regards, and aside from the mali-t6, has the most capable graphics card out there. The mali 400 used in the s2 through the note 2 handle every game just about prefect.
Swyped from a minimalist S2
how abouti9500 one and is it better:? they gave me this version im so sad and i forced to chose this phone
I think octa is more for gamming, gpu have more Power, some games really need optimizations

Dont think so
The 320 is on the same level as the power vr , according to some sites , the adreno is little bit better

Playing real racing and fpse and had never a lag and a slow down.
Most people which say s4 is slow use the crappy touchwiz interface.
I can tell you guys its not the phone or the hardware which is laggy,its just touchwiz.
Get rid of it and you will never have a lag,launcher redraw or a slow down anymore
Edit:
I run a superslim deodexed and pre rooted 4.2.2 rom and have no lag and perfect battery life.
Just try it guys

Yeah I think it's this and a combination of the Touchwiz interface and other bloated apps / processes.
optimising games for the phones hardware will increase performance in terms of average fps and that sort of thing but these random dips and microstutters we see are caused by background processes and services. Touchwiz is the main culprit but not the only culprit.

The 9500 uses the Octacore. It's a little bit more powerful than the APQ8064T you can find into the 9505.
On the other side, you will just have HSPA modem, not the LTE one. Only in korea for what I can remember, Samsung release an Octacore version together with an LTE modem.
If you don't need or you can't use LTE, you should have a slightly better device than the 9505.

Both have their advantages. Power VR can push out more FPS but the adreno has a better hexagon fill rate. The adreno 320is the newer chip and unfortunately many games are not optimized for it yet. The power vr on the I9500 is older and thus why some games will play more smoothly. If you try a game like real racing 3 you will see what I mean. However, a game like asphalt 7, both devices should handle well.
But why should Asphalt be no problem? I played it and it plays smooth Like it should. The game Epoch is running smooth but a simple game as carmaggedon has frame drop. Epoch is unreal powered and looks awsome.
Could this be because of optimizing games? I sure hope so. I love the device.
