Unlocked Bootloader OTA in August

Well, it looks like HTC is gonna make me eat my words.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150305151453084
**We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.**

How about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread about this? Like the other 3 don't get the message across?

It's not that. That HTC post went up hours ago, why in the hell do people think they're gonna be the first to post about it this late after the initial post.

Lol this is true.. and op I'm not being an asshole just stating the facts. There are at least 3 other threads on the topic. We really don't need another one. It just clutters up the forum with redundant information.

I agree, it's like these geeks sit in here all day and just wait to flame people. Maybe they get some erotic pleasure from it. When its warranted cool, but when it's just to be mean, not cool.

How did I flame him by saying to use the search feature and telling him we really didn't need another thread on this topic because there are at least 3 already that were created before his? Umm that's not flaming.. I wasn't rude or nasty. I just said "how about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread on this topic? Like the other 3 didn't get the message across?" How is that flaming him? I didn't name call or put him down in anyway, just it seems in this forum(sensation) people create more duplicate threads then the other device sections I frequent. It clutters up the forum with redundant information and makes it tougher to shift through all the same crap to find a useful thread.

Geeks stay pissed off, not there fault Just the lack of female attention can be over baring to some on here. Flame on geeks flame on.

You know I have noticed more and more rude and sarcastic and flaming remarks as of late. I wonder if short tempers and faultfinding could be attributed to the following:
1. Locked Boatloader ( No definite time frame for resolution)
only vague promises and comments
2. No permanent root(temp root only)
A. No S=off for the majority so no custom roms etc.
3. Htc making vague statements and time frames(even the last blurb gave no real time frame for the US Sensation) and no realistic end in sight.(Hypothetically at least 2 months or more away, at least) Which leads to Feelings of hopelessness..
4. A great phone but many many issues(lots of returns and replacements)
5. Indecision as to whether to keep the phone or not.
Just some thoughts I know I have felt this way and if some of the above were addressed and accomplished I would have a better feeling about keeping the device and a better outlook about the situation in general.
Lets not take the circumstances surrounding the phone out on each other.

The frustration is coming from pushing the valuable info further away into the thread and on the first and second page we have 5 topics about the same thing. Xda should just take the search button away since no one uses it lol.

The point was good, the netiquette questionable. People just don't get "text" is NOT fully expressive. What do they say about not being able to have a picnic w/out ants?

Roms for S-off Sensation

Am I wrong, but they all seem 'less' than spectacular, it's not like getting the buzz from the HD2 after winmobile. I guess I expeted better performance, experience, it's not there yet, but grateful the devs are trying...

We only got s-off a few days back, and you wanna come here and complain in the wrong damn section already?

Between my wife and kids we have had about 10 android phones between us and I have rooted them all. For S off just being released and i have already flashed 4 custom roms is pretty Damn impressive.

1 week is fast enough for us to be developing into a major performance of roms... like kernels new roms being updated quite frequently camera mods boot-animation all that just in a week... i guess it is more than enough items for you to test it out... developing stuff takes time... damn i wish i knew how to develop stuff... HAHAHA

Idk man I'm running Android Revolution and it's ****ing awesome. They've updated it twice in a week. What more do you want?

Hey man always give props to the devs making our device possible !

I for one think you're wrong if you're asking? great thread though.

I think you droidskulls missed my point...S-off has been out a week and my point IS, that there's been no time to HONESTLY develop a better rom... Oh and I've probably owned more phones and probably have more kids than most... I stand by my post, the Sensation roms at the moment are not ready...just my opinion...and I do appreciate folk developing these things...

N00b saying hi!

Hi all,
HTC virgin here - upgrading from an iPhone 3G S to the HTC Sensation in a couple of weeks, after four years of being an iFag.
Great site here, loads of info, as soon as I get it I'll be S-OFFing and flashing Revolution HD 3.1.0
I'm keeping an eye on the camera mod too - the video quality improvement is looking good, I'm hoping future versions will also reduce the compression in still images too.
Thanks for all the great info on here!

Hey what's up, buddy? Welcome to XDA.
I see that you have been reading some info already but make sure to read the guides that are all around the HTC Sensation forum before messing with your phone and you won't have any major problems.
Hope you have fun with your new toy

[mod edit] I love cats!

Welcome to Android, welcome to HTC, welcome to XDA and most importantly welcome to endless development freedom :-D

Cheers for (most of) the welcomes
I never think of any post saying hello to fellow enthuiasts as a useless thread, but everyone's entitled to an opinion.
I've been jailbreaking iPhones since firmware 2.0 up to iOS5 so I'm well aware of the risks, especially as Andriods don't seem to have a DFU mode... which any iFag knows means "Damn, F***ed Up"!

Just Want to say Thanks to the Developers.

the myTouch 4G was my first smartphone. I was scared to root but once the perm root came out for this device I did it and I've loved it ever since.
I've loved pretty much all of the ROMs i've used for this phone (even though I have a hatred for Sense).
I JUST made an account on XDA (I had one before, deleted it, etc.) but i've been lurking on the forums here for a while. This phone has been awesome.
BUT, I'm moving on to the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II. I'm still gonna keep my myTouch and probably still lurk around here to play with some new ROMs.
So this is basically me saying Thanks to all of the developers for this phone. you've made me actually like it lmao.

lol you do know that i made a thread just for thanks right?

Thank you all for the best XDA community!

I usually wouldn't make a post like this but this has been by far the best community I have been a part of since having the EVO 4G a few years ago. I don't always post replies but I'm constantly reading the posts and all of the great advice and tips all have posted have been great. Also the amount of maturity and professionalism is top notch here as well! I hope to see you all on the ATT One forums in the near future!

Yeah - I've had a few different devices and been in a few diffeernt XDA forums and his one is pretty good.
We can thank developers like utkaar099, turge, scrosler, bpbear and rohan (amongst others) for taking the time to provide excellent support for the roms they create. Guys like exad and redpoint73 are also very patient and helpful in spreading their knowledge and advice.
Enjoy it while it lasts though - I think we might lose a few to the HTC One......

I have to agree . I thought those guys on the captivate and Atrix HD forums were good , but the guys on the one x forums have taught me so much , not to mention saved my phone twice !

OK I am having Happy Gilmore flashbacks. "I AM GOOD! You know what? You're a lousy kindergarten teacher! I seen those finger paintings you bring home and they SUCK!"
Alright seriously though, I have only kicked around the HP Touchpad and HOX xda forums and both of them are great. The TP dev'ing is slowing down just because its an older device but the thing didn't even come with Android so its a miracle that they even got it up and running. The fact that CM10.1 is currently semi usable is amazing.
For the HOX dev folk, its great(er). I have people ask me all the time what handy dandy new phone they should get but I keep telling them to get a last gen phone and come to XDA like I do. The HOX devs pump out so many great rom choices that can be used as (and are in my case) daily drivers. Sure I bounce around a bit but thats because I'm an unrepentant flash whore. With the inclusion of pie controls, ribbons and most recently HALO, the amount of customization is... alright I ran out of adjectives. Suffice it to say, THANK YOU dev community!

I can beat you all. I came from the htc vivid forums. Nuff said lol
