Sensation is horrible

Ive tested my dads sensation and it was very good the first few days. After about a week or so it lagged and became unresponsive. Whdn I ever I tried to flick the screen for tye corossal tye screen didnt move it all, it sometimes just moves a little and goes back. The lockscreen ring becomes unresponsive. When I pick it up it bounces back down. I know this a vibrant, but I just had to say it.

The phone is pretty good, but after a week it slows down and becomes unresponsive drastically. There are barely a few third party apps installed on it.

Ive just tried to use the phone app and after I type in a number it took a while for the screen to respond to it.

I ve had absolutely no problems with it at all.. I did learn to turn fastboot off because if you dont, when you power down your phone, its like its in hibernate instead of actually turning off. I think this is the majority of peoples problem with this phone.

I guess you should root and install custom ROM then use it for a week.

cmon, is it really that bad after a week with those specs? i know its the first batch of phones and all. maybe a simple reboot may help once in awhile but i can't imagine all the phones being unresponsive after minimal use.

No problems here either ;-)

No problems with my Sensation.
No problems with my Sensation. It is super fast. You may want to try turning off fast boot and rebooting the phone. I've had it since day 1 that has been available and has been super fast ever since. No lag whatsoever.

HTC ranting
me and one of my friends were on HTC's facebook page blasting them and on they responded to our ranting.

Correct. Turned off fastboot and the system started behaving the way it should. I've had mine since Friday and don't regret it one bit. I think this thread is not titled correctly. I love my Vibrant, but i'm liking the Sensation even more. The Sensation isn't a huge jump performance wise from the Vibrant, but it overall feels more powerful. It doesn't get bogged down, and browsing on it feels nice and solid. I'd buy it again.

Hows the size difference compared to the Vibrant? Meaning is it a huge difference in size or just minor. Haven't had a chance to lay with one and wonder if its too big.

I had both side by side same size, sensation is thicker but it is round and you don't feel the thickness it feels better in hand than vibrant I hate screen on sennsation colors are washed compared to vibrant and vibrant is lighter and a lot cheaper too.

Lol, the last thing you want to do is to compare any non-SAMOLED screen to a SAMOLED. I miss the vibrants screen (not pixel density), but by itself the sensation does have a nice screen. It's black aren't as black, and it's viewing angles are the best but it's still good.

I liked the sensation when I played with it. That sense3.0 or whatever looked pretty cool and I'm not really a sense kinda guy.

Why ruin one of the thinnest phones with extra unnecessary thickness? I thought I'd use the Epic keyboard, but I use Swype. Swype is faster for me. If the Nexus was out when I got my Epic, I'd have gotten that.

Well, can't say for sure, but if the current Galaxy S2 sold outside the US is any indication, this is what it should have...

Agree. One of the reasons I went with the Epic was because of the keyboard (coming from TP2), but once I started using Swype I have never gone back to the keyboard. I occasionally slide it open to clean out the pocket lint, but thats about it.

Have you grown used to the Note's size?

I have...lol Doesn't really seem like such a HUGE phone anymore. Just seems normal....lol The only time it seems huge again is when i pick up other peoples phones. My wife's Vibrant seems small now.....and the other day i picked up a iphone and damn near cried....lol The last time the Note's size amazed me was the first time i booted up GTA 3...lol I honestly NEVER see myself going back to a smaller screen i can tell you that. I'm so used to it that now when people freak out when they see it....it's almost annoying/old.....i'm like get over it...this should be the standard...lol

I'm used to it now more or less. Only had it for 3 days now.
Its awesome for gaming. Just the weight and size. And the screen is gorgeous as we all know. I can even use it one handed amazingly to write all kinds of text input. So yeah I'm used to it. I've got medium to small hands by the way. Have not touched my nexus or transformer ever since I got it.
I showed it to a few people at work today and they were all shocked...lol.

Took me a while to stop thinking of it as huge, but now it really doesnt feel so big.
Just feels about right

It took me quite a long time to get use to my Galaxy Note to be honest. Probably a couple of weeks, but I am quite a small person with small hands. Now, I kind of forget it's huge, but people's responses remind me. Some have found it odd, others seemed quite interested. It's funny because people were always saying how huge my HTC Desire HD was and now that seems tiny in comparison. I admit initially I had some regret but now I'm really getting use to my Galaxy Note, although I do miss being able to use a phone with one hand

It's the ideal device for prompting "That's what she said!" opportunities.

Had my Samsung Galaxy Note for a full day now and I'm still getting use to size. The only problems I'm having with is one-handed use as well typing in landscape mode. I noticed I had to slow down my typing, so there wouldn't be any typos. Hopefully I adapt or find an app that gives me a smaller keyboard, so I don't have to reach as far to hit the letters.
Another thing I should be getting use to is having random strangers ask me what is that thing? Is it a phone or is it a tablet? IT'S BOTH! That's how I respond.
Other than that, I love the big screen size! Great experience.

I go with the suggestion in the article that it's a bad Photoshop job. Besides the screen being unrealistically larger, look how close the top sensor is to the display which would be physically impossible to manufacture. If it were real I'd take the Korean mock-up in blue without question.

That looks like some bad photoshop work.

Haha that's for sure Photoshop. Notice exact same battery levels and also blurry graphics.

[Q] HTC One (M7) or HTC One X +

Hey everybody! I want to know whether buying the developer unlocked M7 from HTC is worth the $649 asking price or is the HTC One X Plus the better option being generally $200 cheaper with its 1GB Ram and 64GB internal memory and quadcore chip? I must admit the non-removable battery has me leaning on a Sammy Note 2 but is there a way to restart these devices without removing the battery for those of us who customize our devices? In other words, from a frozen state or the need to reboot the device, is there an iron clad way to restart the phone in these conditions...and I don't mean give it a dunk or a bat or use to skip on a pond. For those of you who have in your possession a M7...is the hardware living up to the specs? Thanks!

You can reset it by holding the power button, like the Nexus 4, or any iPhone. You don't need to ever remove the battery. I never once removed my battery in my Note, Note II, or S3. People act like it is such a big deal, it really isn't.

I'd say go with the One. It is a bit more expensive, but you'll have the highest end device currently available (to prevent any flaming: this is my personal preference. The Galaxy S4 is also great, but I dislike the design of the SGS4 and really like htc Sense) and you will most certainly be good to go for another 2 years minimum. The X+ is also great, but the tegra chip and battery life disappointed me greatly on the One X. I can't say anything about the Note 2, but I've heard good things about it. What I dislike about it is the giant screen, but that's again personal preference.

No. No, you don't. It's an opinion and has precisely zero to do with any "logic" that's actually veracious. Try again.
Your rationality behind why it's better (notably the AMOLED) is laughable. Why don't you add hyper-contrasted colors to that list since it's a widely held belief? Or the fact that most people find Samsung's UI ugly as sin? Or that the argument between 8 MP/ 4 MP is a total understatement? Or that you'd have no real way of speaking to the battery life of either device since they haven't even been in the hands of consumers yet?
These questions are, of course, rhetorical.

Just out of interest have Samsung solved the loose battery problem in the note 3, you know where the device will switch off if it gets a knock? I know that wedging it in with a slip of paper helps but why should you have to do that in a high end device?
