After owning my Sensation and hearing about all the issues on here. and having one or two myself. im having mixed feelings about keeping the sensation over my Desire HD. Anyone else feel the same way
Just wanted to really know how many people own a sensation now or keeping it or selling it off.
might help me make a decision. or see how other people feel.
After all it is potentially £450 ($600) daily part of our life
Hell Yeah im keeping it :-D! I like it better than my Desire HD and still on stock rom. Imagine the joy when it gets unlocked!

me too, i have noticed that my network signal is not far behind from my dhd. sometimes it sems better but majority of the time it is the same or 1-2 bars lower than my dhd. its easier to deathgrip the sensation.
but dhd does suffer from deathgrip too i tried it.
Also im thinking the problem may be cured a little either by HTC or if different radios are released and roms.
So far, im very pleased with mine. Great screen with realistic color reproduction and resolution, Sense is nice for stock and i really enjoy the shape of the curved glass. The phone feels slim in your hand because of it's palm friendly shape.
A winner

I must say I am keeping mine. the full price @ 648 isn't worth it but I'm a phone addict. This screen and sense 3.0 is beautiful. If you put your hand at the back of the phone to have the audio come up and it bounces off your hand then the speaker is loud but unfortunately it shoots out in the whole room and its low if you don't do that. The phone gets hot sometimes but not as much as the first day. It's was burning up. Beyond that, the memory isn't an issue!

Lovin it.
I thought i'd never see a phone that felt better than the Nexus One. Then hearing it had a 4.3" screen, I thought it would be a behemoth like the HD7, the only other 4.3" phone i've owned. But it feels much smaller and natural to hold. And i've always been a fan of Sense.
Unless some bugs start showing up, this puppy's staying.
I've decided on the evo 3d. Bye bye sensation

I love mine, but the internet connection is very slow most of the time. If I'm not on Wifi, it's pretty bad. Maybe a custom ROM will help, or new radio, etc. But yeah, definitely keeping it, barring some tragic accident or malfunction, in which case I would just buy a new one lol
I own this htc sensation just for a day.. I am very dissapiont with the wifi signal wifi signal can block by one finger! this is unacceptable. I don't think I can keep it, I want to exchange with a samsung galaxy s 2.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
i like but facing lots of probs....
when i surf or watching movie, the divice generate heat. and battery perfomance is bad i am using 3G.
also last night it's not charging i have turn of get out battery and than turn it on so many times than it charged i don't know the reason....
device is awesome 3D effect is awesome the audio is good but the speaker volium is low.... when it ring...
tell me abt other review.....
Traded my g2x and 200 for the sensation. Yes, I REALLY WANTED IT lol.
Two days after trading, heres what ive noticed...
Pros...
Nice screen, in comparison to my g2x, I'd rate them equal.
Battery life, GREAT! 24 hours of light use, about 16 heavy use. G2x was 8-16 stock b4 rooting.
Cons...
Lag, naturally sense ui is going to hang more often that lgs' "stock" framework. With that said, unless my battery temperature gets over 40 degrees c, it runs smooth. After 40 degrees? I have to reboot and let the phone sit to cool down.
Heat, my particular device gets rather hot with heavy use over a period of 30 minutes or more.
Keyboard, the "swype" mod on the htc keyboard really can't compete with swype itself. However, its awesome having a rough hybrid of the 2.
What's with the nonscrolling live wallpapers? Dual core processor and it can't handle scrolling live wallpapers? Confused...
In the end, I am happy with the sensation, but I do wish I didn't have the heat issues so bad... Once s off and root are accomplished, I'm sure cm7 will run beautifully on this phone. Until then, I'll get my sense ui fix. ;-P

got my Sensation 2 days ago, really digging it so far.
love the big screen.
not sure if it has to do with qhd's higher pixel but typing seems lot more accurate... this just could be due to the screen size.
the phone is so sexy... Design department at HTC did a great job.
hands down best looking handset currently out.
battery life seems decent.
speaker could be a bit louder but I guess it's typical of HTC product.
having fun with the phone so far.

I just got mine Yesterday and I love everything about it. Its an amazing phone
Got the phone this Friday and love it ... honestly, i didnt noticed any of those major bugs i saw when browsing throughout the forum xept the white lines someone mentioned but thats problem of like two widgets and not the phone itself. Yet theres one thing, maybe its bug or whatnot, whats pissing me off ... imminent audio muting and call autopickup when using any kind of headset, its very annoying especially when u have a call from a person you dont realy want to speak with (example yer boss on Friday and Saturday night ... dig it? )
On the other hand ... iam not realy impressed by the 8Mpix camera nor the so called "fullHD" videos since they look like ass no matter what you do.
Anyway ... on the scale from 0 to 10 ill give it a 12 ... where 10 is my iPhone 4 16GB and 3 my lol HD Mini failphone.
I love it based on its potential. Once its rooted this phone be is gonna special. Right now it feels like the software is underusing the hardware imo.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Loving the phone. build quality is amazing. you are actually holding a phone and every other plastic phoneish stuff feels like a toy from then. Only con is they could have made the speaker and headset volume a bit louder but when we get root i am sure this will be fixed.
People who are complaining about lags. Sense 3.0 is a great interface and my phone does NOT lag. I know people are gonna say their dhd with a custom rom will run smoother but sensation is on a stock rom so please stop telling about this. Sensation is going to fly with custom roms it is gonna be so smooth that it would slip away in your hand.

I've had the Sensation for 9 days now and it's simply amazing. Coming from the HD2, I'm amazed by how fast it is (one of the few who don't whine about how it doesn't feel like dual core phone?) and so far, everything works the way it should *knocks on wood*
Again, coming from the HD2, I also like how the phone feels when you're holding it in your hand, so much better than the HD2.
And I also don't mind the locked bootloader. Of course, it would/will be nice to have it unlocked, but I can live with having the stock rom on it.
Battery an issue
Love the phone so far, except the lack on mini HDMI, battery could be better and of course the low volume, 8 out of 10 for me will see how the SGII stacks up
I have a desire but plan to get the sensation next week. I have been following the threads on here and there seems to be a lot of issues:
3 types of screen some good some bad,
Poor build quality, creaking handset,
Data issues, cutting off,
WiFi issues, cutting off during screen off,
Sense keeps rebooting.
Would you advise anyone to get the sensation?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I think it was worth the upgrade from the DHD, so definitely worth it from desire.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I also agree it was worth the update from DHD
Go for it. I'm well happy with mine. No real issues at all. There is slight creaking but it's more to do with the outer shell which houses the main body of the device. Overall its a solid piece of kit.
Sent from my brain
I have had majority of new handsets and to be honest the sensation is my favourite
I had the galaxy s2 yes screen is better and a lot faster (3200 on quadrant compared to 2032 on sensation) but the computer software is buggy and that's how you update any firmware pushes , its hard to get videos to play if they are on memory card
I've had iPhone 4 to and the sensation is better also updates are ota

I've recently upgraded to an unlocked Sensation on Orange from an HD2 and just love it; it doesn't freeze, creak, get hot, reboot, leak light or have a grainy screen. It just sits there, urging me to play with it and enjoy it, like a kid in a toy shop.
All I've done is play games, download music and silly Apps and I've even managed to read some threads here and download the Terminal Emulator to find out which screen I have.
I really enjoyed the HD2 and now have that for work as they supply some postage stamp sized Nokia thing and at 48, I can't see the blighter!
For me, the Sensation was the right move and I hope to enjoy it for many months to come. My son has the DHD and he's sniffing round mine, with his roms and talk of bootloaders!!! He can bog off and buy his own!
I upgraded to the sensation a few weeks ago from the Desire and to be honest the only thing that is better on the Desire than this is having root and s-off. Go for it

Yes.
Asked a similar question in the [Q] forum. Just picked one up.
After hearing approval from my N1 brothers, I concur.
Its worth it.
I read the complain threads here on xda and most of the time the issues are not as bad as the posters make them out to be. I have an Incredible S right now and before that a Nexus One. The Nexus One got so many complaints, but after I brought the phone it ended up being one of the best phones I owned. Same with the Incredible S. As for the Sensation I'll probably get one this summer.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Yes it's worth it for me! Upgraded from an HTC Wildifre so it's pretty much night and day with the Sensation!
Internal hardware wise the SGS2 are better but OS software implementation Sensation are the best plus the higher resolution support are way good for videos on Sensation, I recommend the sensation over SGS2 anytime. I gave u 1 example on just the lockscreen, with SGS2 u have to drag the whole page right to the top just to unlock it and that is irritating enough for me but with the sensation it unlocks the screen just with a bit slide. So it is still up to u again on what to buy in the end. U have to try it both before u buy any.....goodluck

Jasand the phone is bound to have a few glitches with software which HTC will fix in firmware updates the only glitch I have is the free RAM which is always around 129mb despite the phone having loads built in ... But I have run a few things at once and not had a slow down just use the built in task manager if your worried but to be honest android does a good job at managing background stuff for you
The only other issue is battery just use juice defender
What I would do however is buy from somewhere reputable as a few of us including me have had faulty handsets (hot battery and I mean HOT)
Good luck in your quest

Hey guy im confused between two phones Sgs2 n Sensation

Ummm ur asking in the sensation forum..... so opinions will be heavily biased . Optimus 2x user here. But I think galaxy s 2 is a better option. Sure the build quality isn't amazing, but the hardware will blow ur mind. Also, dev support is much better than what the first galaxy had, as cyanogenmod and aosp is making its way to it really fast whilst sensation is still bootloader locked. But I really like the build quality of HTC. I wish Samsung improved the shell of the galaxy series

As for the built quality, I think a lot of people forget that there is a reason behind why a phone is built with light materials....to keep the phone light as possible. The rear cover on the SGSII may look thin and cheap, but you know that it can flex from end-to-end without breaking right? There is a reason...
I've dropped my SGS4G so many times and it endured...it's far from cheap.
The bigger and heavier it is the harder it'll fall...

I have em both, and must say.... The battery life is much better on sgsII. The camera(with or without high quality fix) is way better, no lag (except wake up 1sec) on sgsII, easy root sgsII. Build quality is almost same, if you think about the weight. And most of all screen on the sgsII is way better in all aspects. And in direct sunlight it rocks in comperment to sensation, witch is almost impossible to see.
For the sensation, the sense 3.0 is GREEEEEAAAAT... Lockscreen sweet, dlna is better. Its better in hand. Software is better overall.

Same thing I was wondering. The SGS II comes out in Canada next Thursday and I'm still going to be within my 14 Day return period. Its been like 3 days and I already got that annoying "dust under the screen" issue. The phone is great, camera takes crisp pics and all and Sense 3.0 is beautiful no doubt, but there are things that I'm starting to question.

The Sensation is an okay phone.....just nothing special. I still prefer my rooted Vibrant that I handed off to my wife!
I would wait. Play with them all in the store, and choose the one you prefer or suits your needs.
I just upgraded from my HD2 to a sensation and I'm not regretting it at all. Got tired of waiting for the GS2 and Acer Iconiatab A100. By the time they come out something else awesome will be coming out. I also have faith that the full potential of this phone will be unlocked soon enough. I love the stock Rom too so I'm not hurting for that to happen right away anyways. Best phone I have owned. Awesome bettery life too!

Actually, in general Sensation has improved all the mentioned things compared to previous HTC phones. Soooo, just bad experience really, it's not common.
Sensation over HD2? Well, i came from Desire, and expected something out of this world, so got disappointed. The only MASSIVE improvement ove hd2 is the screen, the rest of it, well, an improvement but not the one to die for.

Definitely not. I will never buy a LCD screen phone again, simply because LCD screens are worthless in sunlight. I certainly appreciate the qHD resolution that the Sensation has, but as soon as phones start coming out with improved SAMOLED+ (meaning fixing some issues such as odd colors) screens that also have good resolution (qHD or up), I'll be looking to switch.

Smartphone unlimited most definitely does have access to the new network. All T-Mobile data plans have access to all network speeds. They just don't want to give the apn to continue using it and fed you that line of bull to force you onto an "android" plan. Try calling customer loyalty and getting this plan:

Had hd2 also, upgraded and its alright. You can definitely tell the smoothness of the sensation. But the HD2s screen was spectacular, the small bezel was amazing. It made the phone look so much bigger. The colors are better on the HD2 as well, the sensation has a red Hue.

They are big. I personally think its much higher quality than the Sensation.. (Just because its aluminum doesnt make it a better build quality) infact i think that about Samsung compared to HTC anyways.. Sammy makes strong light devices.
Even with a lower resolution the Amoled + screens are far superior to the LCD screen HTC uses and the Note has an HD version of the AMOLED + Makes me really want one.

Dude its sensation general, general topics connected to sensation, and in this one a sensation owner has its eye on a note and wants to see if he is alone. I dont know how can this be bad or why would i miss an old xda, its just general
I dont have hard time carrying the sensation in the pocket, its light and thin (reasonably) i couldnt be more satisfied with the phone, but tht 5.3" screen, the specs, stylus and a HD super amoled screen sound sooooooo damn appealing... It really makes me wanna sell the sensation.. am i alone in this dilemma guys?

Why would you let other people decide for you? These kind of threads pop up over and over again...if you think another phone will make you happier, then go get it.

Or in this case, get a tablet. Id rather spend the $600.00 on a tablet rather than a new phone thats only edge on my current one is a larger screen. That is exactly what I did when I saw the GN. I got an Ipad. Ive got my Sensation on my hip and my Ipad in my lap. Now I have it all...iOs and Android.

Yeah, it's very good. It just simply, works. No waiting for this or that to come out for it or waiting for some dev to fix something that apple should have fixed long before releasing only to have that one dev go buy a completely different device and forget about you.
Android has better hardware but piss poor work ethic from the manufacturers.
Apple has much nicer looking products with lesser hardware, but they make damn sure that your never notice the lesser hardware. This iPad 2 is fast! I am typing this on the on screen keyboard. Something that was a pain in the butt on my dads toshiba thrive.
Android needs to finish what they start. I got tired of waiting for others to make my android devices what they were advertised to be. I got tired of having to devote most of my time learning how to do something on a forum that was supposed to work straight out of the box.
I love my sensation, but not all the drama that I have gone through to get it to where it is today. A lot of buttkissing devs and being *****ed at for eta asking has pushed me closer to apple. If it weren't for tmobile having me by the balls, I'd have an iPhone. People will say to go get what you want, but that is so dillusional. We wind up stuck with what we have and then have to deal with the issues. I was disgusted to see the sensations early problems needing fixing and then watch Htc come out with four clones of the sensation each new month rather than fix and finish what they started. Finish what you start!

Samoled is amazing, better than Sensation screen but also takes up that much more power. Sensation screen is also great not take away from that. 5.3" is a bit much dont you think? I had the vibrant it felt bigger than our Sensation with its 4.0" . Also I didn't really appreciate the plastic but it was/is really sturdy. I don't anyone had their phone break. I also have to say if the Note's glass is anything like the Vibrant's then you will be happy. That screen is almost impossible to scratch. You could literally take a key to it without a screen protector. Wish our sensation glass was like that. And lastly, touchwiz isn't bad at all. Give it a chance, with all the modded twiz launchers and alternatives its a fun device. Also theirs a sense look alike launcher I used for a couple days on my vibrant. So all in all it comes down to preference. But I have to say one thing, Samsung sucks at updating android versions. We got froyo 2 months after gb came out. And its not about to change either.

Agreed.
One thing I do notice however .... the phone seems to be the benchmark the other manufacturers shoot for or want to beat.
Then there's the guys who like to say they have a better option then the Sensation.
It would seem this phone set a new standard.
This is a phone... That is a phone... They do pretty much the same thing. Why make so much of an effort for a bigger better screen with a juvenile u.i. Atleast wait for something like a quad core and impressive games/apps exclusive for the quad. I swear i dont see anything that the sensation does which the desire hd couldnt. IMHO, these frequent minor updates dont make much sense and also ruin the fun after updating to a much more capable phone which is just better at everything.
