Sensation Not As Great

Hey I'm new to posting here but not new to android phones and I have got to say I think that the HTC Sensation is a huge let down in alot of areas. Im comig from a heavily modded rooted and unlocked Samsung Vibrant. I find myself regretting purchasing this phone.
HTC Cons
It Freezes alittle too much for a dual core without being rooted and with saying that the premissions have not been messed with.
Its taking a long time for HTC to send the unlock update.
The sorta indestructable glass has allready scratched.
The 4g serice rarely ever comes in and I live in the city.
The Wifi calling is horrible.
Overall not worth getting and I have yet to see a Team Whiskey Rom advertised I may return this phone to T Mobile.
I may just wait and purchase a samsung galaxy s2
I just had high hopes but have been seriously disappointed

Thanks for your stunning insight and valuable contribution to the forum. Did you not watch the video?

I think you should stick around. We got temp root a couple of days ago. I also came from a heavily rooted MT4G, I get the itch all the time. Good things come to those who wait I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned...maybe try exchanging the phone?

Ok...

It bothers me when someone has been around this long and their first and only post is something like this.
Let me guess...no other device has given you any type of issues.

I cant even find the software to unlock the phone.

Posts like this makes me wonder if you even had a " heavy rooted modified Vibrant" WOW!

This post should be removed

I did have a modded Samsunf Vibrant using Team Whiskeys Rom. I sold it on ebay in hopes I was on paper getting a better phone.

TBH after using the Sensation (From a Desire HD) I am also a bit disapointed.
Oh well, there is always HTC nxt phone, which will be running Ice Cream, and will hopefully be an upgrade, not a stopgap like the Sensation.

Good yall don't like the phone ,you can leave now

You had a Samsung Vibrant and you are complaining about the Sensation, SERIOUSLY? You were able to deal with all the issues with the Vibrant and you are unhappy after having the phone for a few weeks, REALLY? I really don't get it when people complain about a phone because the one that they had before was better, especially when all their complains were documented in every single respectable blog (including this one), before the phone came out.
We root our phones because we don't like stock roms, so you have to options: 1. be patient, as you were with your vibrant or 2. return the phone and stop complaining.

It was bought in Europe, the receipt says that much. I bought from a guy that said he bought at the airport and the store have gotten a few xooms that had the US version hardware, he then got an image dump from someone he knew in the states so that device now is Google Experience Certified. A fact that could back up part of the story is that i can only choose from 3-4 languages when factory resetting it, while devices sold in northern Europe usually has all languages to choose from.
I want to root it. Someone that i was surprised to see it was not since he talked about having flashed an image on it previously.
Someone has an idea from this screenshot.
Its a Xoom 32GB wifi only.

[Q] Absurd Overages from verizon (note 2 & s3)

Hey guys, just a little while ago i switched from an iphone 5 to a note 2 (best decision ive ever made) and now have an s3(long story). well anyways, the data cycle that started when i had my note had me using around 13 gigs of data. I was rooted and had data monitors on the device that had me using only 2.38 gigs. I also had never used over 2 gigs in the past when i had any other phone (ranging from iphones to the original galaxy s). now i have an s3 and we are only one day into our new cycle and nothing noticeable has happened , but it is also too soon to say that something wont happen. It basically started when we switched to the family share plan as well. I had done nothing different as of apps and such , and i also closed all my apps when not in use. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i thought that someone here could possibly give me a better reason as to why this is happening unlike verizon. called them a million times and they know less than me about the subject. any halp would be much appreciated, thanks everyone.

I had the same thing happen to my girlfriend's iPhone4s last month, which is on my data plan. Being as the iPhone4s is 3G only, I'm not sure how it managed to to rake in 16GB. Considering she typically uses less than 2GB per month, I suspect something fishy was going on with Verizon's metering. However, you can't really argue with Verizon's highly accurate charts!

gets me angry , especially when you call and they dont do anything . ughh now ive got 40 dollars worth of overages. guess ill have to start thinking about switching to at&t or something. & it happened in the same month for both of us, thats weird. too bad theres nothing you can do about it.

Install a data-usage measuring app, and verify the daily usage numbers against Verizon's:

Upgrade is auto restored to account

Question, are we eligible for upgrade already? Yes we are. I checked my account today. Too bad Sprint doesn't have the Pixel by Google; only phone I'd get.

I haven't returned my note 7 and i do not have an upgrade on my account.
I have tried to return the phone but they deny it at the store. I bought it from sprint.com. i tried after the first recall and after the second. Sprint websites list the stores as a place I can take it to handle the recall.
I'm pretty fed up with this whole situation. I really just don't have the time to deal with it. I bought the phone from sprint this should be painless.
How did you het you're upgrade back on your account? I feel getting my upgrade after i trade the phone in or get refunded is the only way i will stay with sprint.

When the while recall fiasco started, I noticed that I was "eligible for an upgrade" on the website. That never went away even after I got my replacement. When the second recall was announced, I decided to go in and get the s7e. While talking to the manager as he made the exchange, I did ask him about the possibility of keeping the upgrade eligibility. However, he said that it was only active for the recall exchange and would disappear on this transaction. A few days later, I was on the account and saw that I was still eligible. Not only that, but they credited my account about $200 for the troubles and what I had paid onto the n7.

Question [FBS]What provider in usa supports this device?Poco X4 Pro 5G 256GB?

Amazon says its not compatible with verizon
Damn thing has sd slot, 3.5mm jack, bootunlockable.
i want.
USA
What provider in usa supports this device?

Mine is the redmi note 11 pro 5g, but they're the same phone. I connected it with metro by tmobile. it was a deal to connect tho, called once cause the automatic process wasn't recognizing my imei number.
i called once told them it supports their bands and they said they will send a connection request 24hrs later didn't work. Called again they talk to tech support, and said they will force a connection, and it worked, but charged me 20 bucks

I'm having the same run around with metro. Is there anything that you said or or that I should say to get the same thing done? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tell them you did your research, your phone is unlocked and supports all tmobiles bands, and tell I.t to for a connection. they will charge you 20 bucks tho like they did me, and even if they say some network features won't work just tell them it's fine.
My 5g works, volte works (you have to put in a code in the dialer) texting works, calling, all works great

goodluck bro the trick is be persistant and annoy them until you get what you want
(btw i got this less than a month when it came out, so no provider new about this phone here in the us i'm guessing so it was extra tough to get it working)
btw this phone is amazing, i was so scared the first day i got it cause metro wouldn't connect it or any other service provider when i submitted the imei number to test if it was compatible.
but it was all worth the trouble i love this phone
will be tough to switch unless the redmi note 12 pro gets a new game changing feature like wireless charging or curved front glass like their flagships

I've no doubt it was scary. I've had this phone for about a month and I am/was thinking it may have been money down the drain. I am not sure what you mean by curved glass but I had the original lg flex and I loved that phone. Lg really screwed up dropping it. I only gave it up because it was about out of any updates. Most of my apps were staring to not work soook. But kick ass phone. My first xaiomi was the note 8 global and that was all it took.

So I called metro 3 1/2 hour call for the third supervisor to tell me there was nothing she could do and that she would not put in a order for tech support to call me back. She basically said fuq u to me at which point I lost my composure and screamed every last profane name I could out at her till she cut me off. Lol I believe she is still wondering what an inner anal fn zit is. So any thoughts on my next move? Hahaha. I can laugh now but ....

wow, idk my way worked maybe try in a few days again or switch to a new provider?

Yeah I would be totally down to dump metro but I haven't got a clue who I could possibly switch to that will put this phone on their network. Imma gonna try metro one more time I'll let ya know. But thanks for the help seriously I do appreciate it.
