Does your sensation come with the Sharp or Acer screen, from what Im able to tell by the photo its the Acer.

[comicGeek]

Sharp screen. checked it using terminal.

try putting widgets on the screen. doubletwist, winamp, etc. then play a high def game like modern combat HD or asphalt adrenaline hd. Usually it happens to me after playing I go straight to customizing widgets.

I can see alot of people experiencing bugs on Sensation over at XDA forums. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Better get the SGS2.

Now that you mentioned the bugs, based lang ni sa akong research. This may NOT hold true for all units released, all of this material is from XDA coz I was considering the Sensation sauna.

Kudos to you for not being an HTC fanboy and defending it to death ( I know others do this with HTC and another brand )

Heres a short list of issues;

Touch screen sensitivity, sometimes it jitters/fails to recognize input
Acceptable to horrible backlight bleeding
inconsistency of screen among units ( 2 screen types, several issues like washed out colors/grainy image/yellow tinting )
overheating issues and battery life problems
design allows dust to somehow find its way behind the screen

Please dont quote me on this, basa lang mo sa thread then decide which device is worth it for you, so far between the dualcore phones the SGS2 has the least of the issues and is the fastest.

...having that said, hmmm i might get an SGS2..if nokia still delays with their infernal fw update sa ila current hi-ends...

Problems personally experienced with HTC Sensation:

1. Fast battery drain
2. Slow battery charging (a little faster using iPad charger 5.1V -- 2A)
3. Washed out color screen
4. Screen tearing on non HTC branded widgets
5. Random, eratic app crashes
6. Gets hot if used for a few minutes
7. WIFI looses signal if held in portrait mode (ex. watching youtube videos)
8. Apps stored in SD card looses icons after reboot (need to force close HTC Sense to make it load again)


Ang screen sensitivity somehow na solve na sa akong unit. power cycle og disable alot of stuff which contradicts with purpose of buying said phone if you can't use all the features. Thankfully wala dust sa ilawom sa akong screen ang i dont use any screen protector, casing, or the like. Washed out lang gyud ang colors. Sad kaau. Nag email nako sa HTC support regarding the problems plauging this device and so far wala pa gyud ning reply ang mga karajo.

Ang main gyud nako nga gi problema is ang battery drain og very long charging time. I want to turn on all connectivity feature of this phone - wifi, gps, 3g - all the time with brightness set to max. Nabag-uhan lang ko aning HTC nga dali kaau mo drain and battery. Coming from my iphone 4, in which I always turn on everything, with LockInfo constantly downloading new RSS, Twitter, Weather data plus reading news while listening to mp3 on an hour train trip wont drain its battery to 40%.

If you post those issues sa TCP forums, you would be bashed as none of them daw has any of the issues mention in XDA as in NONE. Typical fanboys defending a brand.

Pag bantay diay anang 2A charger, not all batteries are made to be recharged that fast coz 2A will heat up the battery thus reducing its life span. 1A to 1.3A morag ok pa kaayo, regular chargers are at 0.5a or 0.7a

Sakto gyud ka. That is typical. All gadgets have flaws. But some have nagging flaws like a pebble inside your shoe. Know what I mean?

Sakto gyud bai mau nga gi agwanta nalang gyud nako ang stock charger sa kahinay mo charge. Ganina buntag nag charge ko from full drain last night, after over an hour og charging 20% palang ang solud. Sad kaau.

Samok kaayo ning nagging flaws, its like a mental torture but some flaws really prevent proper device usage like sa imong uban examples.

Most of the time sa PC usb port rako mo charge coz its limited to 0.5A, kung naa palang lagi masaligan nga 0.3A nga charger with micro-USB mao na akong gamiton just to extend the lifespan of t he battery.. good for overnight charging.
