Apart from the visual effects and animations, sense 3 is the first version able to read html emails from the old exchange. The performance and screen resolution are also important improvements. It is using the last generations softwate and hardware.

now thats a relief.
I never had a issue with cell signal but I did have a issue with the WiFi dropping off when holding it in landscape view until I went into the WiFi settings and pumped WiFi performance to the max. After doing that, the WiFI stays strong when holding it in landscape.

Let us know if you have the deathgrip issue, or any other comments comming from an HD2 to S4G. I just ordered mine last night and already got rid of my HD2, so I'm stuck

I have no death grip problem like I do with my HD2.
BTW: the biggest change I notice last night, besides speed and sense 3.0, was the camera. When recording 1080p, the zoom works. On my HD2, I can only use the zoom before I start recording, not during recording.

Cool beans! I hated having the fixed zoom durring recording. So you're saying that your HD2 has deathgrip but not the Sensation ?

Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.

Is there no way to make it portrait instead of landscape?
Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.

I see no difference, but I haven't tested much time. I can't pause the video recording, which is supposed to be one of the new features, so maybe there is something else to update, not just the camera apk

Ok, just got the OTA and installed it..........I'll have to revert to 4.4.2........this version is still buggy, for instance, camera does not have a on screen option to switch between cameras, so I'm stuck with the front camera.......not a big fan of taking selfies. Beside that, the slow motion recording is gone. IMO it's not worth to upgrade yet.

I have installed the apk above (from the 4.4.3 firmware), and I have those options (I'm still on 4.4.2), but as I said before, maybe there is something else that determines the camera behavior

Okay, after thinking it through and chatting with a tier 1 tech from Motorola(which didn't help), I've decided to flash TWRP again and picked up a flashable 4.4.3 from the XDA community, voila, it works and I'm pleased.

Thanks for posting this...however, I don't see any difference in usage...maybe behind the scenes is better?
As Motorola said I didn't find pause button while video recording... In 4.4.3
Works fine ....the results are much better in low light confitions.
Thanks for the download link

Nice pic I JUST took with the 4.4.3 one. (Still on 4.4.2)
I tested the pre-update and post-update camera and it seems that there's no difference with picture quality at all: the front-facing camera's low-light horizontal streaking still exists.
Motorola must have done the camera fix in the system's root with the 4.4.3 update, which may be why we don't see any difference with the camera. The exposure, low-light streaking, and flash coloring don't seem like things that can be fixed with an app update. :/

Have any of you tried using the Google Camera APK with your U12+ yet? Since the Pixel 2 has only one lens, I wasn't sure if it would be able to function correctly. Haven't tried yet!

The big difference that I can see is on the portrait mode on the front camera. While HTC's camera app results in mediocre and inaccurate pics, Google Cam (even the aforementioned one, with a terrible preview refresh rate) produces excellent, crisp selfies with great bokeh. Unfortunately, portrait mode on the rear cams does not work on this Gcam version, so I cannot compare.
Question about this. Since this is just software, 3rd party at that, if in any way it corrupts whatever in the stock cam app, a factory reset should resolve any problems, right?

First of all, it's a separate app. Why do you think it will corrupt a different application (stock camera)? It's like you saying Facebook will corrupt Viber.
So to answer your question, NO.
Has anyone found a working version where portrait mode (front and rear) aren't pretty much unusable? (major lag)

This. If you take a look back on this thread you will see that I am looking for the same, because GCam for portrait shots is leagues ahead from HTC's camera app. I have tried most of the versions, and most of the ones made for dual- lens phones (S9+, G7, OP6) crash on startup, while some older ones work but the lag on portrait modes makes them useless. I also failed to find a general forum discussing GCam here on XDA (which makes sense, as all versions are phone-specific). I think the only way to find a working version is either by luck or when/if a developer works on a version specific to U12+

Worked, but after each shot, was receiving error of a hexagon failing......so reverted to the older 1b in case of unreliability - anyone else tried? This version did have night sight - didnt get a chance to try.
