It's OK. I won't fall out over it.

It isn't a false thing to put across - just an opinion.

I'm a bit out of the loop, but is the Sensation the successor to the Desire HD?

Anyone know if the Sensation plays MKVs natively?

Sorry if it did go a little OT(T) but you have to agree, calling something flimsy when it's not is kind of a false thing to put across!

I also think it's flimsy (but agree there isn't any flex in the device).

Has anyone else got theirs yet at all?

Im interested to know if anyone else has got the SD Card slot issue....

Nope, no native support for mkvs. Maybe 3rd party players are mature enough to work with snapdragon hardware acceleration?

Anyway, 1080p comparison failed yesterday as I was pre-occupied but tomorrow!

This is a good one... the official Thor trailer (It's a great 'real world' test, thanks to flash not using any video decode hardware yet and the cpu/media processing engine taking the strain

)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOddp-nlNvQ

Here's the current standing,

360p = OMAP3630@1Ghz+ (64bit NEON, VFPv3 not pipelined) 480p+ failed with occasional lag. Hummingbird phones too?
480p = Snapdragon@1GHz (128bit NEON, VFPv3 pipelined) 720p failed but it was v.close (slight audio lag etc)
720p = Tegra 2@1GHz+ (No NEON, VFPv3-D16 pipelined) and 45nm Snapdragons, DHD/Arc? etc.
1080p(?) = Does the SGS2 play it smoothly? [email protected] (64bit NEON, VFPv3-D16 pipelined)

Either the sensation will have identical performance to the DHD/Arc @ 720p (using one core only) or it'll play 1080p amazingly well...

I have. What SD card slot issue? And do you have the camera lens issue?

The SGS2 plays that vid in the standard browser with a very slight audio lag @ 1080p. Video is pretty smooth tho.

Cant get an SD card to slot in, it just pings out again.... :confused:

Surely its just slot in and push in to eject? .. but mine just goes in "so far" and just hangs out...

Camera lens issue?

Nice

Thanks Kona! (That audio lag could be sorted out with better flash optimisation or a good'ol o/c?)

Roll on MHL adaptors!

@Kerplunk

Try using RockPlayer, I'm sure I used to play some smallish mkv files on my Magic, pretty sure it was this one

Mine went in fine.

On Vodafone forums there's a thread about someone getting his Sensation returned because there isn't a piece of glass over the lens that is flush with the surrounding of the lens. There's apparently a gap where you can stick a little finger or something like that apparently. Not sure if its meant to be like that or not. Might ring Vodafone in the week and check. I'm also not sure why the whole phone has to be returned, surely a new case back can be sent out. Far easier and cheaper to fix than to return a whole phone.

Jabbs · 22 May 2011 at 20:04

Wrong forum lol

Mine hasnt got any glass on either lol, im getting a replacement on Tuesday anyway as Vodafone said it sounds like mine is faulty with the SD card issue

Can you upload a pic of the back of your Sensation? There is some glass on mine but its recessed within the camera hole. There's nothing to make the surface flush with the surround. I don't want to ask Vodafone for a new back cover, or even a new Sensation, if my phone is all OK, especially as my SD card is in OK.

Kerplunk · 22 May 2011 at 20:53

I can put the pic doesnt do it any justice, as you cant tell at all

It just looks flat, but its not

Lol, OK.

I'll check the Vodafone forums to see if there are any pics there.

Does anyone know how you turn of the vibration when using the keypad?

Ive turned off all the vibration settings I can see, but it still vibrates on each key press... ?
