I just got the sensesation today I had a mytouch 4G and loved it. I was really looking forward to the sensesation now that I got it I'm not happy with it I'm little disappointed. When I'm on the phone and turn the speaker on it is so low that in order for me to hear I have to put it up to my ear. Maybe I'm not giving the phone a chance and once we can root it then it will be awesome. But I need some opinions if I do trade it in what phone should I get instead of it. I've heard a lot of talk about the Samsung galaxy s. I'm thinking I might just go back to the mytouch. Oh and also the speaker part is not main reason why I'm disappointed in the phone

What is it that you find disappointing?
My loud speaker for calling is functioning OK. For me its as loud as my Desire HD.
Hmm I'm not if it's just my phone or what but the speaker volume is so low I don't even bother using it now.

the mytouch 4g started this way too. Just wait for root and enhancement. In the mean time try using player pro. Its plays the music through loud speaker louder than the stock.
But if your dissappointed the go back to your mt4g. I personally found it to be a nice upgrade over my mt4g.

Don't get the Galaxy S, wait for the S2 if your going to return it. Before I got the phone I kept reading the speaker on the phone is bad, it's actually a very good upgrade from the one I had on my HD2. I'm loving the phone! Give it some more time
Go to menu>settings>call>check the "hearing aids" box that amplifies all volumes

I am looking to trade my inspire for a moto atrix 4g because my dad is going to get the thunderbolt and i want a front facing camera to video call him.
I m looking for a almost new/ no scatches atrix. My HTC inspire is in a Otterbox from the beggining and has no scratches. Is used for 2 months now.
Don't do it. The front facing camera on the atrix sux...very poor quality to the point where its not worth it. And chances are, much like most atrix owners, you will find yourself trading it back in for an inspire. You might as well save yourself the trouble.

Ohh ok. So i may need to see if i can change it to an iphone or other android with ffc
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
You my friend are in a pickle. With att, at the moment, if u absolutely need a front facing camera, its either the iPhone or the atrix. I wouldn't go with either. Instead, if I were you, I would wait for the realease of the Samsung infuse and see how its ffc is, as well as the phone itself.

Yup, don't do it, just 'cause he sais so. Or just go in the att store take the atrix and open the camera app, switch to front cam and you'll be pretty pleased with the quality. Is more than enough for my atrix and especially for videocalling over att's 4G network.
Edit: btw, both iPhone and Atrix have same resolutions.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I would honestly get the iPhone over the atrix . Go use both for an extended period if you can. The lag of the atrix is annoying as hell and yet to be cracked. The iPhone runs smoother and you can jailbreak it, it also has amazing games and the battery lasts longer. Try them both and get what You like. also you will ne amazed at how much you DON'T use the facetime/videochat. At least most people I know don't use it.

why trade for sth worse?
Sounds like a good excuse to get a tablet lol but I have heard too many bad things about the atrix.

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 sensation I'm thinking of trading for nexus. Which would u guys rather?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
I've had the Nexus S 4G since launch and at this point, it's going to take a lot to pry this phone out of my hands.. It is still easily the best god damn phone I've ever owned and with ICS coming there is really no end in sight for exchanging it for something else.
In ur case, EVO 3d?

Speaking only for myself, not a chance. I love this phone.
I think you really will enjoy the Nexus. Its a great phone. I hope to always keep a Nexus in the stable.
I feel the same way, I will most likely always have a Nexus variant if not collect each one.
I wouldn't trade my nexus for anything other than the galaxy nexus. I got mine on the launch day last year and still loving it.
You should definitely trade. I have both and except for the dev support and screen, the sensation is better in everyway. And sense 3.5 on it is BADASS. ONLY carrier overlay that is worth a **** IMO.
I have both the Nexus S AND the Sensation. I like them both almost equally. Although, I do like the way the Sensation feels in my hand a little better. But....YMMV.
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
I wouldn't, it's a marginal hardware update, and then there's sense, which in all of its variations I just don't like. I follow there cm7 though, looking fairly stable at this point. That's a plus if there's one. This is just my opinion, not trying to start a flame war or anything

So true, I'll never buy another bloatware-laden locked down phone evar!!!!
I broke my HTC Desire HD, and as I had to buy a new device, the best and cheapest choice was the Nexus S (LCD here in France, far better than amoled picture wise).
There is only two thing the Nexus S is better than the DHD, its screen with better colors and backlight, and the useless but funny toy: nfc chip. Ah, another one : easy device unlock and rooting !
If I could afford it, I'll buy a Sensation or Incredible S, or even Desire HD any time.
Better alu case, better overall feeling with HTC devices, better camera... More Ram, and so on...
Maybe worse in benchmarks, but overall use experience much smoother and less laggy.
Now HTC devices are again unlocked, so MIUI is again available on theses rigs, so if you have to choose between a Sensation or a Nexus S, I'll choose the the HTC every time!
As you already own a Sensation, from my point of view, you are going a step down, maybe two...
But it is only my opinion.

Agreed, I hate all those custom UI's, AOSP FTW!
i think i would swap
but im waiting for the next nexus if i can hold out. i realize i need dual cores. i multitask way to much.
i also want a rock steady gps and the nexus s is flaky at times
i also need a better camera. after the epic i have been spoiled
i might not find the camera portion in the new nexus. i will hold out for the gs3 if i have to get it shipped.
This thread might seem unnecessary but I'm making it anyway.
I recently acquired a sensation and it had the touchscreen lockup issue that had to be solved by returning it to HTC. Ofcoursre HTC had to be a **** and charge me 160 to fix the ****ty phone saying warranty seal was broken. So simple. I went with it. Haven't gotten it back yet.
Whatever the point is this mytouch 4g has served me the longest without any issues whatsoever for the past 6 months. I dropped this phone on the subway six times now without any noticeable damage and I don't use a case. The build quality is exceptional and I can't thank HTC enough to design the metal ring around the screen.
I'm grateful to this community and HTC. But this sensation will be the last HTC I own. And this mytouch 4g, I'm never gonna sell it. Ever. Its the best phone I ever had. People who has problems usually speak up like this so I thought this would be a nice addition.

I adore my MyTouch 4g. This is my first Android phone and I've compared to many other models that I have seen and continue to. I have to say that I have yet to find another phone that I would hands down say is superior. The cpu is amazing. The amount of RAM is more than I have ever needed. The size of the phone is perfect for me. And development has been phenomenal.
Are the front and rear cameras off center? You bet. Does that affect their operation or in any way slow this beast down? Nope.

Is there any issue whit the headphones itself like the original sensation one ? Which would skip tracks itself and randomly call someone...

It depends on what kind of music you listen to If you listen to Trace and Rap and stuff it's good for you because beats have enhanced bass
If you listen to Rock and Metal (like me) I'd suggest you to buy Akg earphones..
or you can buy some Sennheiser earphones which are really good for every one
P.s make sure you're not buying fake ones
Hard to say. I am sure it was my fault though I used them for work. They did last about 6 months

You will enjoy the beats earphones. I know alot of people are antibeats and alot of people (especially on this forum) think that its a ripoff to get em.. But hey for $30 its a darn good price for good quality earphones. I own em and im happy with it. It serves the purpose of what i use it for (jogging, work, gaming, etc) perfect earphones. As for the htc earphones. Not sure what to say man.. The ear piece is too big so it could hardly fit in my ears..plus not good for jogging cuz it would always fall off.. Other than that though, the sound is pretty good. Cheers mate~ hope you enjoy your new earphones.

hmm, $30 for Rezound beats, not a bad price if you love bass-heavy sound signiture.
If it is around $50(some place mark it as $50 or even higher), there would be lots of better products.
