From Vision to Sensation: First thoughts.

Hey fellas. This is for people who are thinking about getting a sensation. If you don't care about this phone.. DON'T READ. Thanks.
Well I just got my sensation about an hour ago from walmart. I'm really digging this phone. The screen is huge, the colors are fantastic and its lighter. TOO light for my liking honestly. Feels like I'm holding a vibrant. I hate the fact its so light. It feels fake to me kinda. I love the way the g2 feels. Its not light, but its not chunky and heavy.
The build quality is pretty good. It feels FANTASTIC in the hand but I still don't like the lightassedness this phone has. I still prefer the battery door latch that our vision has but its not hard at all to get the back off.
Speed: not even going to lie. Its fast. Pretty damn fast. But compared to our vision is what you guys want to know. And having them side by side having the sensation obviously stock and my vision obviously not (oc'd to 1.2 gigs) I don't honestly see a difference.. at all. Probably after root gets here and a little oc hits this then we will see.
If anyone wants to know anything ie want me to run tests against it etc just let me know. Just for reassurance : THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DEBATING ABOUT GETTING THIS PHONE AND WANTED TO KNOW SOMEONES OPINION. I love reading people's opinions on phones and I always come here to read people opinions on their experience with the phone I want. Just wanted to give back my opinion. Maybe it might help someone, maybe it won't.

How much better is the screen compared to the vision? Does it feel a lil downgraded? Or is it Better In every aspect?

To me honestly I LOVE this screen. very nice and responsive (unlike my vision sometimes sadly) and the colors are better. i am a little biased sure (ive been waiting for a 4.3 inch screen for a while) but the big factor for me at least is that the pyramid is visible outside. i think its a really big step up.

How are data speeds? I know it's a 14.4 device, but a newer radio may be better optimized - also -how is the reception? Battery?
Have you had a chance to use HTC watch yet?
I have a G2 currently and love it, I really like the look of the Sensation though..

4G is insanely slow right now honestly. i think its because the device isnt even released by tmobile yet so im not making it a biggie right now. when its working though, its extremely quick, especially on wifi. and there is virtually no lag whatsoever anywhere especially when using the device. and it gets faster over time. havent used htc watch though yet im sorry. cant make any calls on the battery life. this is still my first run through of the battery.

Will keep a watch on this thread, I don't really have many questions just wanted to thank you for the review

No problem. That's what im here for. But anyone with questions feel free to ask. i really want people to consider this device its really a great buy. Oh and for the 4g issue, made a quick edit to a setting and now its blazing fast.

Does it have the HTC sense keyboard or the gb keyboard?

Looks like it has the Sense keyboard to me. The gingerbread keyboard is black right?
I am also coming from a G2. I love this phone in every aspect. However, I do find myself switching back to the G2 every now and then simply because it has root and a trackpad for scrolling long articles. Thats probably the only thing I miss. A trackpad, never realized how much easier it made things. Would you all happen to know of an app that givesu a thumb scroll in every app like the music app has? I have no idea why htc, or google (whoever's fault it is) chose not to integrate this feature all around.

Well,not here to ask questions as I already bought the Galaxy S II(was between that and the Sensation),but I can tell you some things for sure.
Sometimes,you're gonna miss that extra RAM that HTC for some reason didn't give this phone.768mb on the Sensation with Sense 3 is as pure stupid as the good camera with no flash on the Galaxy S.Second is that,although the Adreno 220 is REALLY good and is bound to get even better with root and,obviously,overclocking,it isn't really the beast that'll handle the qHD screen with ease,especially when scrolling through screens.
For the rest,I still think that it's a hell of a good phone,just not quite the upgrade from my Desire HD.Not comparing or fanboyin' or anything(ALL my smartphones until now were HTC after all),but just HTC could have made it better.I kinda like the Evo 3D though...

I haven't seen any lag on the sensation at all.are you referring to the sense launcher when you say scrolling through screens? Cuz with that, there is no lag either. I knew there was less ram when I bought it and I thought I might end up regretting it but I honestly haven't seen any reason to and this is just stock. I can only imagine afterwards. I don't think I will overclock like I did my g2. 1, for the sake of the battery, and I don't see how the speed could really improve much

Well,take my word with a pinch of salt as I don't have a Sensation.But on my Desire HD with Sense 3 rom(768mb of RAM too),RAM is always less than 200mb free.No lagging there too,but after some use and some 100 apps installed,I think it would show.

i currently have a vision
but im dying either for the sensation or the evo 3d, do any of you hapen to know if theres gonna be a 850mhz version of one of these 2 beauties?

. Just because 100 apps are installed, doesn't necessarily mean they are all eating ram. I do however understand what you are saying. I guess only time will show as I've only had it for two and a half weeks now. I think that extra core will kick in then. From my knowledge, the sg2 has a processor where both cores are on at all times where as the sensation's cores can run independently of each other. I think that will lead to better battery optimization. Maybe the lag, if any one experiences any, is when that second core is kicking in. I haven't had this happen to me, but to comment on the topic in case anyone is switching, my advice would be to absolutely grab that sensation. But keep your g2 if you can cause it was indeed a great successor to the first ever android.

Yeah, I absolutely understand. as we are waiting for root, I really don't have many apps try to try that out. My g2 never really stuttered with like 87 apps so I'm really looking forward to pushing this beast to the limit.

Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.

I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.

I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

Should I trade?????;

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

My Phone is for benchmarking only, too!
Man put TouchWiz on the Sensation and have a look again! Sense is huge! And the g2x is not faster

Have you used the g2x it blows the sstion out speed wise and i have a sensation its just faster but I don't know why I wanna keep my sensation because like i said the specs are better nobody wants to say it but we all know the Tegra2 has the uperhand ....

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

I hardly get the random reboots ever. And currently there are a lot of updates.
And in terms of specs im sure the galaxy s2 is better as it has more ram, alot more storage and the exynos chipset is also faster. It also has super amoled plus.. or are you after the tegra version?? :l I suggest i9100

Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.

I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?

It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

Its about the same weight as the mt4g, just a little thicker.. and the keyboard slide has a very nice feel... wayy better then a droid 3

I have the bad screen and chip. I tried this and they would only give me another MT4G, maybe I will try again next month. Don't get me wrong I have a great device! I just think the MT4G slide development is going to take off now that the source code is released. and dual core, physical keyboard would be great

Any takers? Lol

They keep on wanting to exchange mine for a Sidekick 4g in purple. The build quality on the Mytouch is so crappy. I've done 3 exchanges back to back, now I'm stuck with a washed out screen and a weak vibrator.

if you are concidering getting rid of your mt4g... DONT

over the past few onths i have gone from the mt4g to the sidekick 4g, to the g2x, to the nexus s. what i have learned is that no matter how nice a phone looks it will never beat an htc. the only reason i would ever leave this phone again is for the amaze or sensation.
htc's sense is by far the best ui there is and there is not a single app that can even come close to replicating it. trust me if you get rid of it you will regret it!!

lol why not the HTC Sensation? or even the Amaze?
also +1 on what the OP said, MT4G really is a beast phone. THANK YOU HTC!

Im planning to get windows phone when i bored with mt4g. The only thing i love from sense is its quality of its software. Best GUI ever on android phone. But ithink metro ui is thebest gui ever found on a phone.

Alot of phones look bad ass on paper but suck after launch. Will have to wait a bit to see what the galaxy nexus is made of. The name alone is retarded.

samsung makes some pretty cool phones but i dont need to be near a computer to flash a rom with my HTC. Thats what will keep me an HTC customer. Motorola and Samsung need to get their act together when it comes to root access.

In all fairness, the MyTouch 4G is terrible... until you root it and put a new rom on.

I'd agree with that. The hardware specs allow it to run any custom ROM extremely well, but the stock "mySense" ROM leaves a lot to be desired.

What was so good about it? I know the processor is better but what's so good about that phone?
From what I've seen I dont like the GUI on that phone
I like this phone bc we have a lot of different roms to choose from and its all around a good fast stable phone

It depends on what you want in a phone. Since I don't really consider myself a power user, the MT4G has been close to perfect for me in terms of having fairly high-end hardware (remember, the majority of mainstream phones out there aren't very good even though we consider 1GHz and WVGA to be bare minimum requirements) at an acceptable price point.
What matters most to me is an active developer community because there was no way in hell regardless of what phone I got that I was going to keep the stock ROM. With all this Carrier IQ crap going on now, I had the right mindset all along and also got lucky that the Virtuous team removes Carrier IQ from their ROMs, which is good because I do like the Sense UI. However, I won't call myself an HTC fan. I'm only loyal to a product that works as I expect or want it to work, and I'm not that impressed with what I'm reading about HTC's newest phones. In addition, the Amaze reportedly has Carrier IQ. Fine and easy for people here to remove it, but not for the regular smartphone user.
If you told me to recommend a current new phone on the market compatible with T-Mobile's network for the non-rooter/flasher, I would recommend the Galaxy Nexus for AOSP's lack of spyware, even if that means having to wait at least another week for it in the US.

I agree. When I first got the mt4g I got bored quickly. Then I rooted and I fell in love.

+1 that and +1 the op. When rooted the mytouch 4g is one of the best phones out there. Like other people said the only thing I'd even think about trading it for is am Amaze or Sensation.

I loved my mytouch since day one. in my opinion I don't think its the phone jus more of the software. Sense phones period are the best. Unlike asop, you have the best of both worlds (when rooted that is).

I agree 100%. I went from a mytouch 3G 1.2 to a Galaxy S 4G and even though the Galaxy was much faster and smoother compared to the Mytouch 3G, it was difficult to root and the aftermarket ROMs for it are basically variations of the same stock TouchWiz rom. I found myself longing for my clunky old mytouch 3G.
I agree with the OP that I will never go with anything but an HTC phone from this point forward.
The funny thing about it is that Android advocates are always talking about specs and iPhone people are always harping on user experience because their phones are generally out-speced by the latest Android phones. I hate to say it but the MT4G sort of proves the Apple people right. Other phones that were released at the same time as the MT4G had better specs and even better testing scores but I can say from first hand experience that the MyTouch out performs most of them for everyday use, even with the stock rom installed.
