To the European sensation owners who updated their sensation's firmware to stock 2.3.4, have you noticed any special improvements?
Any info on the following issues would be appreciated.
1) Does your touchscreen respond better to fast swipes?
2) Did it resolve your deathgrip issue (if you had it)
3) does sense feel faster?
4) Any improvements in the browser?
5) Any other bug you may have come across, is it resolved?
Other than that please post any noticeable changes you may have observed.

Hi
1) The respond is little more better
2) I have no deathgrip issue in the prev. version
3) Little more faster, but if you use live wallpaper the change is not worth mentioning
4) The browser is still good enough, no change
5) Yeah, i have a little bug in keyboard, sometime unusable, not respond, many errors when hit the button
It was not enough time to test, but keep trying
sorry my bad english

1. Yes, Sense seems much more responsive. Swipes seem faster, and certainly when swiping through the home screens or through the application lists.
2. I did not have the deathgrip issue. That is to say, I never hold the phone with my palm covering the whole end of the phone.
3. See 1.
4. Not noticed specific improvements in the browser so far.
5. I haven't had the reboot when using the camera with geo-tagging yet. Hopefully that's fixed but I won't know until I've used it for a few weeks. The gain of the stereo-audio is still set too high, causing clipping when doing video recordings... hopefully they'll fix this soon :-(
6. In The Netherlands, the Watch application now has the ability to purchase videos.
I had the deathgrip issue before. I don't normally hold it in that position, but if I did, I'd loose all my WiFi signal. It still happens on 2.3.4, but not nearly as much.
Sense feels faster and I don't get the touchscreen not being responsive anymore.
They still apparently need to fix the stupid speakerphone issue. I mean hell my phone is reasonable volume when it rings or plays media via the external speaker. but when you get a call and hit speaker or while your on hold with someone and turn on speakerphone, its pointless
1) Haven't had any issues, but feels somewhat snappier now.
2) Only had moderate signal drop with " death grip" before ota, and it seems about the same now.
3) Sense definately runs smoother now, the "carousel" didn't look smooth before, it does now. olling also much smoother.
4) Haven't noticed any improvements.
5) Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but screen capture with power + home now works! Never worked for me before the ota.
Everything is more responsive. For everybody that ditched the sensation you should have had more patience.
Can't wait for 2.3.5

More responsive and better battery life
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Waaay more responsive. No lag now.
I see no difference in wifi signal.
Not sure about the touch screen issues yet. Will have to test that...
Agreed with everyone, smooth like butter. I would also like to add that battery life is improved. WiFi calling for Tmous is not hogging battery anymore. Standby battery usage is way better. I am using stock Tmous radio.

No you don't need to flash new radio. In fact I tried the new radio for a little on my tmous sensation then reverted back to stock radio.

The speaker quality during playback (e.g. of Watch trailers) is fine, the stereo-audio recording during videos is still clipped. As far as I can tell, the gain is set too high on the mics, and this has not been corrected in 2.3.4, nor is there a way to manually set the gain lower. In other words: still waiting

1. Cant tell, it has always been good to me.
2. Didnt have it before
3. Yes, alot, its really snappy now. No lags what so ever.
4. Havent noticed any.
5. Have a screen related issue, came after I got 2.3.4. Se my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16634483#post16634483
1. Didn't notice any issues before.
2. Didn't notice any issues before.
3. Sense is now much much smoother!
4. Browser does feel a bit snappier to me.
5. No issues as such, but it seems that the 'get more space' option does not work any more. When I select it from the storage settings menu I just get a little dialogue box saying there is no application available to handle it.
Maybe 2.3.4 has a different way of handling cache so the function has been disabled? Please could someone else confirm this?
Overall my sensation is now how I had imagined it would be before I got it - really fast and smooth. An excellent update.

5. Same here.
Forgot to say that internet runs smoother. I dont use the stock browser, but browsing in Dolphin is much more fun
looks like a promising update
thank you for your responses.
well it looks like the update seems good. I was particularly concerned with the app drawer touch response since my sensation has just developed it and feels really irritating. Hopfully the update should take care of it. Cant wait for the ota to hit indian shores, i guess itll take a couple of weeks.
It is very very smooth. Never had the deathgrip issue. My lock ring problem has gone also.
CM10.0 stable was released a while ago on the HTC One S (S4). I've used it for a week nown and thought I'd write a review. Basically, I'm trying to create the thread I wish I'd find before I flashed CM10.0 Stable.
I came from stock 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1, so whenever I make comparisons, I compare it to that.
The Good
- Stability. I've really only encountered a single bug. That's actually better than stock for me. Definately stable enough to use as a daily driver. I am really impressed by this.
- Speed and smoothness. Everything flows really well, making the interface a joy to use.
- Battery life. For me, it has been notably but not dramatically better. I get about 3.5 h screen time (I got about 3 h on stock).
- The interface. Everything is prettier than Sense. I could never go back.
- The settings. The number of settings isn't as large as CM7 (which was a bit insane), but larger than stock. You can tweak more or less everything you care about.
The Bad
- A bug making volume wake unreliable. It's on the tracker: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6720
This matters a lot for me since my power button is quite unresponsible. But it probably won't matter to most users (although I'd argue that waking the screen up with volume buttons is more comfortable than the power button)
- While it's great that you can cutomize the lock screen shortcuts, you can't move the "unlock". It's always to the right. You can install another lock screen if you want, though. It's a very minor issue.
- The contacts app doesn't seem to work with Facebook, so if you (like me) get all your contacts' pictures from there, you're out of luck. Slightly annoying. Third party apps like Haxsync can fix this though.
- The timer and the alarm are found in two different apps. And the timer app is a bit wierd, coming from stock. But it works.
Other notes
- Camera quality seems good enough. Taking photos is really fast, much like stock, but you can't just hold down the button to do burst mode.
- I don't miss Beats Audio. The DSP Manager, an included app, let's you activate bass boost in three different levels. For me, this gives more than good enough audio quality.
Conclusion
A great rom. Don't stay on stock
If you want me to add anything else, just ask
Us villec2 users are stuck with laggy sense. Really hope that since cm10 on the s4 is now stable, a kind dev would port it out for us. I don't even have 4.0.4 yet!
Awesome review!
Great that CM10 is now good to go!

Is it possible to shoot 8mpx widescreen pictures like in the stock rom ?
And is the battery life really better than stock? I've read that some users got a worse battery life on cm..
Did you experienced any wifi/2g/3g connection issues?

Sense roms don't take 8mp widescreen shots. To achieve the widescreen, they just crop the photos to something more like 6mp.
Battery life really depends on how you use your phone but for me its better on CM.
Other than the occasional disconnecting from wifi, everything is fine over here

thanks for your answer, didn't know this cropping thing.
hm, maybe I will switch over to cm too
On Sense, the "8 Mpx" pictures are 3264 x 1840. On CM10, they are 3264 x 2448.
Also, I haven't had any WiFi issues yet on CM10. I did have a few random disconnects on stock Sense, though.

Echo
Do anyone of you have noticed that the phone call receiver hears an echo? I do not hear it myself but anyone I call hears the echo and hang up. I switched to stock Sense ROM and the echo disappears.
The echo comes back on CM10, I might try some more ROMs and see
Hello!!
As far as Facebook sync the best next thing is Haxsync in the market... Sooo worth it and it works great on CM10.
Can someone tell me how much the radio take effect on the battery life?
I'm on stock Rom with radio 1.06es now
Or will a new radio be flashed with during the flashprogress of cm 10?

I can confirm that Haxsync works really well!
I installed cm10 two days after i received the phone. There are a few annoyances, but i get good battery life, can run almost two days.
gsm and 3g works perfect, call quality is good, 3g speeds are decent, in my area i get about 1.1 mb/s down and 300 kb/s up.
System runs smooth and fast as default.
The things that annoy me is the bug where volume rocker doesn't wake the device, mentioned on first post.
Some sounds are too low, Alarm sounds compared to my Desire are lower, unlock/lock sounds as well.
When playing music, all info on lock screen is hidden, so you can't see time, weather or scheduled plans.
When you pause music from the lock screen, after about 3 seconds of silence, it'll play another 2 secs, then go silent again.
But, overall i'm happy, a few kinks which i'm sure they'll fix. It runs really well which is nice.
I liked using this but something didn't feel right (too buggy for my tastes) and prefer sense, but I love cm on my nexus 7 its amazing on nexus devices

I've been using this for a couple days as well.
Battery life seems worse than the available Sense ROMs but not horrible. Although I can't say for sure that its due to the ROM. I did flash a different radio at the same time.
Also the sounds seem a little lower quality. Not sure if this is due to the lack of Beats Audio or what?
"Snapiness" feels about the same as Sense IMO.
I do agree that this is definitely usable as a DD

How would you compare photo quality between CM 10.0 Stable and Sense 4.1 ROMs? I understand that CM 10.0 cannot access the HTC ImageSense chip because it's proprietary but is there a noticeable difference in taking pictures between the two ROMs?
just installed this.
for some reason the contacts app doesnt have a menu so i cant get in the settings to change my voicemail.
music playes for a few seconds after it has been paused.
currently in the process or wiping and reflashing stable to see if the problem persists

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I experience visual artifacts when using two-finger rotate in Google Maps, also Photoshpere is really acting up... the images flicker...
Not all devices have it, as a matter of fact there are few of them (reported). Let's try to collect as much data as we can in order to find the cause of this and maybe a fix. I'll start.
HTC One S
Color: Gradient Blue
HBOOT:1.14.0002
Radio:1.06es.50.02.31
Jun 11 2012, 14:36:28
It's recommended to attach a logcat with the problem.
The problem allways happen when try to rotate Gmaps with two fingers, and photoshpere gets crazy especially after taking 1st photo.
It seems like an accelerometer problem, but accelerometer utilities seems to report the sensors working fine, so maybe a GPU driver problem.
C'mon guys, let's get this fixed
For the flicker have you tried changing debug.composition.type=dyn to debug.composition.type=gpu? I also had the same issue with that camera but only tried it when it come out, have you tried other packs that have it?

I've tried many packs... i will try those and report back. The thing that scares me is that this happens on Virtuous Rom also (which is almost stock build with HTC jb libs), and this may mean that i will never have fully working jb not either from HTC.

Keep in mind the camera is for 4.2, not 4.1, and I doubt we'd ever get stock camera on official Sense.

ok, that's not a problem, i can live without photoshpere, but the fact is Google Maps also have this problem and I need GMaps...
I know that at least 3 others reported this problem (and i'm sure that are many others who didn't test for it) I wonder where are they now...
I started this thread hoping that if other users reported it, the devs would try to solve this, but i think i'll just have to wait for HTC to give us JB and see if i still have the problem (but I am really concerned that I might have it). What's wrong with this One series? so many bugs (and not minor): cases chipping, helicoptering bug, sound issues, performance issues (one x), this problem....
I reported in another thread that I have this problem and I do, when using photosphere, I've seen it, although if I keep my movements nice and slow and steady, it seems to hold together.
I haven't seen any problem in Google Maps though, what happens to you in there?
Cheers

when i rotate the map with two fingers i get visual artifacts
I have the same problem on photospere, on maps I have no graphical problems, but the magnet sensor seams to change it's direction sometimes. Had this on CM10, and now on 4.1 Sense+.
Edit: I mean I have the orientation problem on photosphere. My screen does not flicker.
I have this same exact problem with an HTC One XL. I have not found a fix for it.
I've tried flashing every flavor of jellybean there is. It oddly seems to not happen if I use a sense version of jellybean. But I hate sense and want vanilla android.
AOKP, AOSP, modded, unmodded, doesn't matter. I get this annoying graphics glitch when I try to scroll around using maps or photosphere.
I hope it's not purely hardware related, and that there's an easy software fix for it.
Hi,
I just got a free tab 2 with a Samsung camera, and have given it to my son to use, playing Agent Dash it often lags to the point where its not really playable, but sometimes its fine which is bizzare, anyway I'm considering rooting it and putting a custom rom on which I'm guessing will help???
Question is If I put some rom on and custom recovery etc can I go back to a stock Samsung recovery and firmware and reset the flash counter should I wish?
Thanks in advance
edit. Also are there any roms which look similar to the Samsung stock one with touchwiz that would perform better?

I"d say you won't get any improvement. Sounds like a app problem. I"d send a note to the developer. There is little difference if any in performance between CM based JB and Stock. Are you on the stock JB ? There is a difference in performance between ICS and JB.
And no , there is no stock ROM that performs better. IN general I'd say the tab performs very well. and problems you see are usually poorly written apps.of which there are a lot

Yeah updated it as soon as I got it yesterday its on P3110XXCLK7, I had another one earlier in the week but that came and the box was smashed up so got it swapped, I only briefly tried that one but it seemed to play fine, I restored this one last night thinking that might help but its come back, I was playing it myself a few hours ago for about 20-30 mins and it was fine, put it on charge and then took it off charge and tried again and it started to lag big time.
If I flash the stock rom via odin over the top it wont affect the flash counter will it? Maybe something got buggered during the update? Having said that it only appears to be this app

Falshing stock ROM by Odin will not affect the counter.
I never experience lag on this tablet, but certain apps will mess up any device. If you are having a problem with only one app , check with the developer. if you are not sure what's slowing things down try a cpu analyzer and see what is eating your resources up..
A lot of games now access the web during the game to provide interactive play or offer to sell you things, that can often slow things down.

hey guys... i've searched on this for a bit now but havent found people with similar issues
Got my 727r ... which is using CM10.1 nightlies... been updating once a week since january
the one issue that drives me nuts is that i cant use my front camera... in stock camera app if i switch to front camera gallery crashes and then i cant open the camera app at all anymore... if i use another camera app i just get black feed from the front camera.... i have the latest Gapps and currently the latest nightly build...
if i revert to 10.0 the camera works again.
anyone else running into this?

Ok... Finally had some time to do more investigating on the issue and things only got worse.
I do a full wipe/clean install on all my flashes.... that means wipe all caches, wipe the isd cards, and factory reset
anyways... flashed with the official stock ROM for rogers in Odin and the front camera seems to be broken in there too now... so just to to test i then wiped everything, and installed CM10 to see if it still works... no dice... now the front camera is broken in all roms ive tested, and non standard camera apps exhibit this behaviour too... I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue which would really suck.
All in all i'm out of ideas short of taking it to someone who can look at the hardware.
