[Q] Is this phone even out..? - HTC Sensation

Hi there,
I see that the threads on HTC Sensation are thriving, yet whatever site I look at the phone seems yet unreleased.
For those who have the phone, at which countries has it been released? Or how did you buy yours / where can we order one?
Thanks in advance.

It's been released on Vodafone UK. Not sure where else.

Also with VFR in France I think

VF-DE released the phone a week ago - Friday 20th.
Mine is on its way - i hoped it would arrive today, but it seems i have to wait until monday.

And on Vodafone NL.

[Q] Will uk vodafone be locked?

Ie Could I buy sim free and put O2 sim in it??
You won't be able to buy simfree from Vodafone, but once it's out at places like Amazon, you will be able too put any SIM card in you want, yes.
It won't be sim locked. they say none of their phones are.
I thought all of Vodafone's devices were locked. Great news if it's unlocked.
I bought my HD2 directly from the Vodafone UK website about 18 months ago and it's unlocked.
But my DHD is locked to t-mobile
Vodafone haven't locked Contract phones for years now. PAYG however...
I ordered mine from Vodafone today, are we expecting this to be a standard version or a Vodafone infected version.
Vodafone rom, with their super fast update schedule- not. Without doubt.
Thanks for reminding me on that one. Im definately waiting till when I return from honeymoon in mid june. If I buy it, definately getting it sim free with maybe a 3 mobile ayce sim. Vodafone lag way behind official updates.

Given the speed it's coming out, I kind of expect a stock ROM.

Having said that mate, Vodafone have an EU release clause with HTC, so when an update goes live in the EU, it goes live in the UK too. Not like other carries. Vodafone got the official GB release before anyone else on the DHD

I'm also betting on them sticking to stock ROM to get the initial batch out as early as possible.
Even if it's a branded ROM I won't mind too much as Vodafone have recently been getting HTC ROM updates out before unbranded updates (as crazy as that sounds) and their bloatware seems to be reduced as of late too.

The only 'bloatware' my original Vodafone HTC Magic had was a Vodafone Live! app, which only ran if you wanted to use it.

If my new Sensation arrives with no bloatware, I will make an effort to thank them on the Vodafone eforum. I like to let them know I appreciate it

Given how fast we are getting them, I bet they will just be direct from HTC to the customers! I hope so at least!
Re: rom updates. Can only go off when hd2 got released. We had to wait a fair bit for updates. Cant comment on other handsets. Sorry

Silly question perhaps, but even if the vodafone handset is unlocked, will we still have to wait for vodafone to release updates or will we get them straight from HTC?

Pretty sure if this is the case then the updates will come straight from HTC, but I'm no expert.

With the Desire, it had to come from Vodafone unless you debrand it and flash a WWE RUU via Goldcard. The initial batch were unbranded though. There was much noise made when Vodafone delayed the Froyo update and initially released firmware which had a branded splash screen and various other useless bits and pieces (eg links to dating services, Vodafone Live, etc etc). It was then retracted and an unbranded Froyo was subsequently released. This whole fiasco was even reported on TechRadar UK
I think Vodafone pay monthly phones are all unlocked. It says so on their website. If I remember correctly, their phones did used to be locked but you could request an unlock code once your contract was up (or I think pay a small fee). The only exception was the Blackberry Storm, but let's not reopen old wounds I think I threw mine hard into a brick wall

OTA Update

Did anyone else get an update message today?
No. What update? Proof?
That's a big no here, and checking for an update doesn't give any results either

There has been OTA updates in Europe. I'm from Denmark and I have received it. Also heard that UK has got it.

I'm from Germany and I received it, too.
It's an update from the Vodafone Stock Rom 1.27.162.1 to 1.35.162.1
are the ota updates dependent on the kernal and not on your location or the mobile network?
I got an update notice (t-mobile, Missouri), but it was just some silly application update. Nothing cool. My wife got the same one at the same time. Maybe this is what you got?
Same here - just some application update. No sort of FW push if that is what you mean.
Holland got ota too.
Here in Holland we got the OTA on branded and unbranded phones too.
Same in France a few days ago. French people using Sense say it improved Sense. Some with touchscreen issues say it's better.
As I use Launcher Pro and never had touchscreen issues, this OTA is just a vast joke for me, nothing new.
This reminds me of the South Park episode where Randy Marsh kills an alien, galaxy police ask him if they've seen anyone,
France: "Nope can't say that we have"
Germany: "Anyone? Nope nobody."
followed by a bunch of other countries.
Offtopic, apologies, hilarious how ironic these threads are, specifically this one...

anyone got this update and having trouble with perma temp root?
i cant root it ever since i update my htc sensation with this.
i tried removing superuser and reboot, and run the perm temp root again, but still not working
Not sure what my version is as I bought it in China and comes with all asian language versions (so maybe a generic asian version), but I'm on 1.28 and tried an update check which came up empty.
I just got updated to 1.35.707.1. I am from South Asia- Bangladesh

HTC Sensation Z710A - AT&T 4G Compatibility

Hello everyone,
Quick question about the HTC Sensation Z710A Which can be found here: http://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710a-sensation-850-1900-3g.html
Essentially what I am wondering, is that I know that this phone has the correct bands to be compatible with AT&T 3G, but what I'm wondering is if this is compatible with AT&T "4G" as well (HSPA+)?
I just want to ensure this and clarify, and maybe even someone who is using this phone on AT&T can chime in and let me know. Thanks in advance
Hey Boktai, the answer is yes. The Z710A being a 4G device and with the ATT bands, will get HSPA+. I ran a few speed tests, and my best run was 6.8 down and 1.3 up. The worst was 1.8 down and 1.1 up. It seems to vary, but I'm getting 4G speeds. Depending on the time of day of course. Hope that answers your question.
Wow $700.00 for the sensation!!!
Use coupon sb35offjkh for $35 off on orders over $400. That should bring down price to $663.
Canadagsm has them unlocked for I think $575 CAD (585 USD). Got mine a few weeks ago on sale for $549. Their customer service isn't all that hot, but the price is good.
I can get one for 500 to 550.00 as well in canada

Would the one from T-mobile will work with ATT 3G if I unlock it ? I am afraid it will only show EDGE.

Unfortunately it will not AT&T 3G only edge. That's the Z710E model. Your best bet is to find an unlocked Bell Canada Z710A. It's what I have.

Here is the one I ordered:
http://www.canadagsm.ca/phone_details.php?product_id=snp1764 It was $549 Canadian
Note of caution though, their customer service is not that great and since it's off carrier HTC does not warranty it as of now. If there are problems with the device, you have to go through Canadagsm who are also known as SNTraders and they send it on to HTC. Kind of a mess.
rejoice!
htc sensation in Bell-RockstarMobile on ebay....search for it, its like 485 ca
kinda cheap....me thinks.
can't paste link sry.
Does anyone know of any more good links? I'm trying to find a Z710A for AT&T under 600$. Can anyone help?
Edit....... nvm
Hi all, what the diff between the Z710A and Z710E?
Tks
EDIT: i guess the difference is on the 3g network right?
Z710A 850/1900
Z710E 900/1700/2100

I've read that the UK version will get 6GB ram bump up from 4GB and 128GB storage over 64GB elsewhere so if you see one look out for a 6GB version.
Only 6GB ram version is sold in HK
Do you know if the radios will be any different?
I am also interested in this, particularly if a HK handset will covered by HTC UK warranty?
If you guys want buy in Hong Kong, I am happy to assist you.

The U11+ selling in Hong Kong are eligible for local warranty only, so think before you buy.
Thanks for responses I have picked one up in HK. Radios should be all good. Warranty is local but I knew that before purchasing.
Love the phone so far. Some great battery life after day 1.
How to buy U11+ in Hong Kong?

I really need U11+ in my life!
