Review interface "Sense 4.0": a qualitative shift actually

After a lot of the criticism directed at the company HTC because it faced assigned "Sense," which is a characteristic fixed devices company operating system Android has approved HTC that there is a problem in this interface, and promised that he will be working in earnest and quick to correct this situation and, indeed, as promised by the company Taiwanese the response was rapid over the new version of this interface. Version 4.0 and bearing the number will be unavailable on the latest devices such as the company (One X, One S) and since these devices is currently available it was necessary to use one Romat devoted to the device (HTC Sensation) so that I can experience the new Sense ....

Sense 4.0

No more slow and gravity:


Perhaps the criticism of the basic and most frequently between users and sites specialized technical alike is that the interface Sense were causing slower and heavier remarkable on devices that carry this interface, but that some users were resorting to Romat custom flavor (AOSP) so they can get rid from the problem of slow and gravity.

This situation apparently has become of the past for two main reasons:


HTC has redesigned the interface and make it lighter credit the principle of simplicity to the farthest degree.
Specifications of devices the current is so high that there is no longer a possibility that the processor or RAM is sufficient for the operation of this interface smoothly.

Let us move to review the most important aspects of the interface:


Lock screen:


There is little new about the previous version, we have four shortcuts that can be customized to run the program directly from the lock screen, but she looks a little softer in addition to the possibility of withdrawal of the upper tray alerts even when the device is closed and has found practical advantage in some cases.

Course of the features of screen lock in the Sense that it is presenting some news and a large screen lock such as a picture caller of missed calls or text short message received, or even controls the music playback if the user is listening to music on the device and all the above is subject to the allocation of .

Add that feature to open the device by the camera are available and operate smoothly.

Sense 4.0

The splash screen:


We find on the splash screen and the widget clock and weather famous, dating back to the beginnings of Sense on the devices Windows Mobile, but note that the Launch the old have been replaced by a band new, more effective and MCSE customizable as the tape the old contained the three buttons, one of the phone and the other for drawer applications and the last of the list allocation, while the current one of which contains five fixed drawer and they are programs and other buttons are all subject to change based on the desire and the user can add a shortcut, one for each button or a folder containing shortcuts.
Of course, all of which have become shortcuts supports indicate the number of alerts for that program (as in the iPhone operating system).



Tray alerts (list of alerts)


Underwent this part of the Sense also to redesign large as it was to dispense with the principle of two parts separated, who was in Sense 3, and the adoption of part one with a shortcut to the Settings menu at the top next to the Scan button and all alerts, added that the alerts can be scanned individually by dragging them either to the right or to the left, I do not know why was the cancellation of part vB fast from the tray alert as I was considered very useful and I used to use it frequently, perhaps because the Android 4.0 provided the possibility for developers to make applications can be integrated with a list of alerts and offer the same settings, rapid, and starting to like these applications are already growing, and can be installed from the market for to get the same characteristics.


Applications


Sense of the most elements 4, which underwent a redesign, start by making the pages slide horizontally instead of vertical direction in the previous versions.
Then observe a three-dimensional effect when moving between classifications in the picture below (all applications, the most widely used, applications that reflect Tenslleha by the user) of course note the attention to detail are characteristic of HTC as these classifications on the bottom can be customized too (the order or even remove ) and this possibility is available across all parts of Sense, which contains the same buttons (rankings).

Of course there is the possibility to control the order of programs, management, with shortcuts to the market for and the search at the top and there is a new addition, I really liked it when you are pressing and holding on one of the programs you get on the options the first is the normal drag it to the start screen and the second is new you can drag it to the top so that you delete directly from the application without questions and confirm interfaces which I find endearing and very practical at the same time, knowing that such a feature in Android 4.0 and Sense interface is not limited.


Widgets


Of course it is the essential ingredient for Sense was obviously to get its share of change and this is what was actually, many of them got on the operations of cosmetic checked out a lot of Mkontaha Triple dimension has been replaced by parts of a more simple (within the scheme HTC to make the entire interface is more lightweight and smooth ), in addition to some Widgets got the possibility of changing the size as shown in the special textbox widget.

Striking is the interface Widgets add a completely new, considering that HTC felt that Widgets do not put in the drawer Google applications, as it did in the ice cream version, if it was necessary to provide an interface to add Widgets all features possible and this is what happened.

You can add any widget to any screen, then continue adding process of Widgets without departing from the same interface. Something beautiful and very practical like something to offer its services in Samsung but with improvements.


Things sporadic


Switch between open applications and recent applications has been modified to resemble the way the entire Windows ships (3d preview) while maintaining through the clouds to shut down the application from a ice cream, but has become a drag towards the top and not to one side.

Of the (instant synchronization "push sync") or synchronization based on time intervals.
In the browser there is a lot of improvements, apparently, give them a smart appear when you reach the end of any page with options that might be useful to the user, in addition to the reading mode button which coordinates the page facilitates the process of reading.
Added a new effect to the end of a list instead of the default, which is an increase in color, and this marked the HTC encountered and moved away from the rebound effect, which was the subject of a dispute between Apple and Samsung.
The HTC Drop Box service integrating Dropbox with the system and devices will give users of the new 25 GB of space cloud for two years.
In the end, it remains to recall that the device user is Sensashin normal and Roman is Roman experimental and thus there were some problems and Alaabob in the interface that will most likely fix it in future versions, in addition to HTC said that the interface Sense (4) were not available on older devices, which Cncashin them.
