HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile - HTC Sensation

Here are some pics of the new T-Mobile device
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/t-mobile-branded-htc-sensation-4g-in-the-wild/

Thats a damn shame Tmobile has to put that ugly damn logo right on the front of the damn phone, put it on the back or something. But enough complaining, this phone is gonna be absolutely stellar and the new and improved htc sense is absolutely terrific, this phone is an instant win

great find!
the box is a little different than the vodafone version, but aside from the logo pretty much the same.
sigh... I knew it was a long shot but was secretly hoping that t-mo would somehow get a bicolor version back

I can't wait! June 8th is taking forever

Anybody know if mobilecityonline is trustworthy? They have the T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G for $600. 100 more than I think T-Mobile will have it for but it'd be unlocked...

why order it from a 3rd party online when you can order it directly from tmo on june 8? unlocking it won't be a problem I'm sure

The option for international shipping I think is a big reason.

Aside from the international shipping that Elchemist mentions (I have friends in the US who might be able to bring it to me) I don't know if unlocking is that easy.
Unlockers and repair shops here in Mex tend to be befuddled by foreign phones (one more reason I wish I were back in Canada) and T-Mobile, according to their page, only gives unlock codes to account holders in good standing (45 days postpaid, 60 pre-pay). This leaves the option of online unlocking services which sometimes take a while to appear for new handsets (I don't feel like having a phone for a month which I can't use for calls).

solsearch, an easier way would be to use one of the online unlocking sites and just input the code yourself. Now if only S-Off was available...

yeah I'm curious why tmo went with different packaging as well. it's the same as their version of the hd2

Does anyone know what types of goodies the sensation is coming with? (the contents in the box)

what was shown in the link was headphones, charger, USB to microUSB cable and battery.
EDIT:
on closer inspection, the open back shot shows a microSD card of unknown size. The vodafone versione comes with an 8GB card pre-installed in the phone.

Well, first I'm going to see if my uncle is still with T-Mobile as that'd be the easiest/surest way.
As for the packaging I don't really get why people care, vendors, reviewers, etc. sure as it affects appeal, but for those who already decided to buy it? Does it really matter? Worst case scenario you keep the box at the back of some closet or you toss it, it doesn't affect the device (branding on the device is another matter). Too bad branding is on the screen, if it weren't people who really cared could just buy a different back cover.
And it seems it won't come with a microSD card according to that screen shot (the one of the box). Remember that just because the pics show one in the phone it doesn't mean it'll be included, after all whoever is using it probably would want one in there... I'm slightly disappointed but I don't care too much as I'll be buying a 32GB one anyways. I could have used the 8GB one for less used content but 8GB cards are cheap anyways.
But I think I am definitely getting the T-Mobile US version as it kind of seems like kismet. My birthday's on the 9th and if I'm really lucky I can have this prezzie for myself on that day

I hope mobiTv, telenav and some other useless apps will not be preloaded. Also hope it will have tethering option right out of the box like G2x and G2. The greatest feature of tmous, wifi caling should be there but just worried about the battery when it comes to wifi calling. It seems to kill battery very quick on my Vibrant and it was also battery hog on G2x. Still very excited for june 8th though!
Edit: just saw mobiTV on the box, dang it!... T-mobile we dont want your bloatcrap on the phone!

I own the only AT&T Touch Pro I know of :O

Haha, this is all over google when I search "AT&T Touch Pro"... Oooh I'm big time now!
Update: Phone is legit, despite what engadget tries to say. Does work on AT&T 3G/HSDPA with no issues.
-----------------------------------------------------
I own the only AT&T Touch Pro I've ever seen, US version that works on 3G over here!
...I did pay $900 for it though.
I'll probably feel stupid when I realize it has half the specs of the Euro version... But whatever, what I can't fix with cooked ROMs I'll deal with. Having it sooner is worth it to me.

How's picture/camera/flash quality man?
It comes in the mail on Tuesday, and you can bet I'll have a full review of it then. Might even post a view pictures/videos on here for ya.
Please please please!!! I can't wait to here what you think!
Well, at least this is some consolation to those AT&T users who want one... It IS coming, and it can't be long since there's already a working version out there! Sit tight guys!
Very nice, but I wouldn't pay that much for a phone. Congrats none the less!

For $100 you can browse 1 web page for 2 minutes, for $150 you can make a 5 minute call as well. Hah ;-)
lol, he drives a hard bargin
I can't wait for it to come, so I can see it's actually for real... Only thing that sucks, there won't be much tech support available. ;-)
the only thing i dont dig about it is that the Dpad is on the right side and I use the stylus with the right hand with my 6800 and the dpad with the left. I do alot of copy and pasting (which you can't do with the iphone lol) but im sure i will get used to it.
I have dropped my 6800 and it needs to be replaced so im going to try to get sprint to exchange it. I know im gonna have to haggle with em but hey....its worth it.

That doesn't bother me as much, but the thing that bugs me is that the 5 row keyboard is changed so the numbers aren't on top. I loved the idea that it had the same layout as a PC keyboard.

I know what you mean, but I'm more then sure you'll be able to re-train yourself. It's the same thing I went to when I went from the PPC-6700 to the PPC-6800. No idea why they switch everything around and the 1st couple of day it was annoying, but with anything, after a certain period of time I got used to it and was able to use it without going back to the old habit.

That does seem weird that they changed the numbers around.. I thought one of the selling points was that you could type just like on a computer. Oh well, hopefully it's just the AT&T version where they did this.
what's up with the keyboard doesn't look like anything from the htc site, hopefully att hasn't gone and tried to jazz things up their own way. The default keyboard for the touch pro is nice, with the single function digits on the top row.
The only thing that annoyed me with the touch pro from looking at from the images were that the pickup, hangup buttons and the home, back buttons should be switched or to be extended. Extending allow the user to comfortably press those buttons easily and not have accidental hangups when pressed against their face.
btw: op, congrats on the phone.
no AT&T Branding...thats weird...you sure it will work with 3g on AT&T? it would suck if you paid that much and only got GSM Service. Im waiting to see if EU versions can be flashed to work 3g with AT&T

[News] Confirmation - Android Gingerbread version is 2.3

Strange that no one linked this earlier, been posten ouround at different blogs the last few hours.
Anyway great to get it here as well, and maybe somone can dig up something more.
I find it good that Nexus one is running it, then I might be able to get a port for my HTC deisre
Great finding, thanks!
and this quy arrived a few days ago as well
*edit*Outside google HQ
All the screenshots so far have the notification bar cropped out, Google must be cooking up something so big with the notification bar that even the leakers can't bare to reveal yet.
One bad thing though, if the rumours is right then Google will release a new phone around Christmas. I guess this will be with more powerful hardware which will be able to run honeycomb or something.
So then requirments might increase siginficantly to 3.0, which means i need a new phone soon
Well our Nexus's are ready now for Ginger & co.

It's not a rumor, Nexus Two (or whatever they call it) it's going to be announced probably
in November 8th. Manufactured by Samsung. It's the same phone as the Galaxy S
but a little thinner and with a curved back.
Eric Schmidt: "Initially, Google felt that they needed to build a device to help Android along so they worked with HTC to create the Nexus One handset. Schmidt says: “The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn't have to do a second one. We would view that as positive but people criticised us heavily for that. I called up the board and said: 'Ok, it worked. Congratulations - we're stopping'. We like that flexibility, we think that flexibility is characteristic of nimbleness at our scale."

Bollocks! I knew I should've waited!! I loved my Nexus One until it was stolen. I loved the fact that everything came there first, as far as updates etc. It was so obviously Google's own phone. I didn't like that I had to use Dialer-One and Launcher Pro though (not crazy about stock Android dialler).
I love my Galaxy S's hardware, but I'm not loving this RFS stuff. How can I recommend a phone to people if they're going to have to lagfix it.. How do I know some OTA update isn't going to break it a year down the line and then they all start phoning me ?!
A Galaxy-S Nexus would be cool I reckon ..

Google Running Home Testing

Google through some company named GfK, have sent me some random letter to my house saying I have been randomly chosen to participate in random testing concerning the way I use TV, Smart phones, Computers and tablets with benefits and a tiny little payout..They also included a REAL $2 bill as "incentive" I guess. They don't know that I own any of this so I assume they "maybe" would be sending me these things. (I already own 2 Xooms, A Kindle Fire, 2 laptops and 5 Android smartphones but how would they KNOW this?). Just kinda odd and random I guess.
Anyone else got one of these or can provide me with more details as to what it is? has anyone here ever done one of these and what is it? i'm uncomfortable with it because it was random. So I thought I'd ask my homies here on XDA.
I did Google and find this too. http://www.google.com/landing/screenwisepanel/
I attached a copy of the letter.

Hey Freshly_Snipes, this is a interesting little letter you have received. I am going to keep up with this thread, please keep us all up to date with what becomes of this.
Sucks we can't sign up to get the black box anymore, cause that would of been perfect. Honestly, unless you're a terrorist, child pervert/sexual predator. There is no reason not to sign up.
Not sure how one gets on these lists, but I have gotten letters like this from time to time for other tech companies (usually they come with a $5 bill, lol). They are legit but usually require more effort than their merger pay out is worth. You must track and report a lot of info (sometimes you even allow them to do the tracking via certain devices), giving out a lot of private data in the process and spending a bit of time to do it. I usually pocket the $5 (in this case apparently its $2) and move on with my life.

I did not realize we need kernel source for this to work!! My apologies. but when kernel SOURCE does drop this will work! So consider this a future plan and if kernel source never drops?! I'll be selling my phone and have a cheap 64 gig usb flash drive for my ps3/comp! loL So I'm good here!
I wasn't happy when reading that the one x has only 16 gb in storage(technically around 11!)I have over gigs backup in titanium alone! so I looked all around and found a solution that is gonna work for me and it will only cost around 40 bucks USD for all parts needed and will give me an extra 64 gigs to have on me all the time!
First your gonna need one of these or something simillar. My plan is too always have this storage either in my truck or pocket ready to go when I need it!

There are alot smaller and lighter drives out there but I wanted cheap and packs alot of storage so this was a good fit for me!
Now in order to access this drive on the fly your gonna need something like this as well or they also have just the fitting without the cord you just gotta look around a little. I prefer having a little bit of cord personally but up to you!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221018356464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and this will pretty much solve my issue of not having enough storage. Both pieces are small and like I said the cord and drive are so small you can keep it in your pockets and the best part is you won't need pc access nor working wifi to be able to get to your files/unicorn porn! :laugh:
I hope you guys can make this work for you as I'm quite satisfied with this solution and will work with alot of phones not just the one x its just a matter of if you dont mind carrying 2 things in your pocket/vehicle/desk drawer/ass etc all the time! :laugh:
Intresting!
I can't see using 16gb of storage on a phone honestly.... it's a phone LOL. It's definitely not a replacement for my tablet.

Like I said especially if you play games? those games sometimes add an extra gig of data after all is said and done.A couple big games and your space is done. I don't personally own a tab just a pc and phone. Don't really see the need for a tab as of right now and can't afford one either!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we still waiting on the kernal source for the AT&T HOX to enable USB OTG? It might be working by now for the international version but all I've read so far is that OTG isn't (yet) enabled for the AT&T HOX.

Well I just briefly checked google and that may indeed be the case. Oh well it should drop soon and when it does this will definetly work but I will change the title to state "once kernel drops solution" for now if this is the case. I'm brand new to the one x so not sure. Thanks for the info guys!
Damn this is awesome! I can't wait for kernel source even more now, the future looks bright. I can have every game I want installed to that, my whole music folder for long car trips and movies for flights! This is working already for the international hox? I don't want to get ahead of myself, I just want to make sure this will become a reality for our phones.

Well you don't have 16gb you have 9.9 after partitioning. I don't put any music or movies on my phone,I stream those and I've filled this internal card without blinking. A couple of nandroid backups, a rom zip or two, titanium backup backup and pics and vids from a 8mp camera will fill er up fast. This is the worst fail about this phone. C'mon a 32 should've been no question when you don't have add on capabilities.
when I do need to access my huge music library or my movies, and under certain circumstances, I use my seagate 500 gb wireless drive I got for my iPad. http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/wireless/goflex-satellite/. That's if I don't have 4g or wifi available for streaming from my pc.
The jury is still out. We don't yet know if the usb port provides power. I hope it does.

Would powered USB hubs provide a workaround if it doesn't? I did a quick search on the international HOX dev forums for anything USB OTG-related, and found an experimental kernel that required you to connect a powered USB hub in a particular way such that the hub power brick was plugged in near the end of the process. I have no idea how it relates to the AT&T version, but shouldn't the int'l HOX give us some indication of what we can expect from the USB port?

Not sure. We won't know squat until we get source.

LOL wow I feel like an absolute [email protected] now! Time to change the title again or maybe just delete this thread entirely Nah it still may be useful I'll leave it for now but if a mod thinks this is premature or a go nowhere situation??? then by all means feel free to delete it!
It's definitely an interesting solution nonetheless.

Only thing I could think of besides cloud solutions but now theres alot of factors such as if that port is even gonna have enough juice to power peripheral devices/flash drives. I would think it would?? but who the hell knows companys are always out to screw the buyer more and more every day! Plus like I also said even if it doesn't end up working?? you definetly can use that flash drive on other devices and for 50 cents a gig you cant beat that!

DESTROYED it yesterday :(

I officially just destroyed my phone yesterday. I was riding my motorcycle and forgot to take it from my pocket to my riding bag. When I got to the gym I noticed it wasn't in the bag and didn't know if I left it home but just FELT something was wrong. I used my nexus s (which is now an MP3 player for the gym) to remote install googles find me service. After a while it finally popped and said it was half way from the gym to my house. I rode back and found it. Someone actually picked it up and brought it into a deli.
Anyway the screen was shattered.... like SHATTERED.
This didnt bother me since the glass was already cracked and everything else seemd to work okay UNTIL I went to make a call.
When making a call and putting the phone up to my ear the screen goes black and it takes a LOT of playing around to come back. I get NO AUDIO when using in handset mode. Like no one hears me and I Cant hear them. I can use it fine in speaker mode oddly.
I took it apart and everything internally looks fine. No boards cracked the speaker looks fine, headphone jack fine. My guess is maybe when it fell the headphone jack and/or speaker maybe popped out of its socket and its confusing the handset when not on speaker.
ANYWAY
I can buy a new screen for 80$ on amazon. Do you guys think its worth it if Im not 100% sure thats the full issue. I could buy a speaker and headphone jack for like 4$ a piece which is nothing but then I was wondering if the light sensor got messed up (which I dont think so) and thats actually fully soldered to the board. I can solder but cant find that part so I think it would require buying a whole main board.
Im using my S4 WHICH I HATE for now and miss my Nexus . Like I feel naked without it, and honestly want to fix it because it was a gift from my girlfriend for x mas cause I wanted it so bad. I feel horrible because this is the FIRST phone Ive ever had something like this happen to. Lucky it had a good spigen case and aside the screen everything else looks new still.
What would you guys do?
If you bought it from Google Play, take advantage of Google's offer to replace/repair all cracked screens for free.

this is true. I wonder why? Think it was the biggest market of phone purchasers? they are an american based company though.
Should I unroot the phone if possible you think? Or do you REALLY think google will care?

Google don't care. They even accept rooted phones as RMA for warranty. Only LG care, for non-play store purchases

Google does not care if you rooted your device. Its a "hardware issue" (if you can call a shattered screen like that ) anyways so it wouldn't make a difference wether the device was rooted or not.
SERIOUSLY ALL OF YOU

Hm, maybe they only have US models? (Or maybe too many US customers RMA'd for "loose power buttons" so they have too many "refurbished")

funny thing is I also JUST RMA'd for the loose power button right before then never sent it in. Being lazy and complacent finally paid off once cause they said if I had any other RMAs I might not have qualified cause tis case by case
