So those who have had Multiple Sensations - HTC Sensation

Have you notice any difference with the screens. similar to the mt4g issue?
Im coming up on the end my remorse period thinking about doing a exchange because of the unresponsive lockscreen issuei had yesterday. Just want to make sure there isnt a bad screen version out there.

All I can say is ask for one thats made in China. But Most HTC phones are made in Taiwan and the screens they use there are made from the brand Sharp. And the ones made in China are made from Sony. I might exchange it too. My mytouch 4G that was made in China had better viewing angles, deeper blacks, and the colors being more vibrant. And everything opposite from the one I exchanged that was made in Taiwan. If you do exchange it, take pictures first. Then compare it to the new one. Make sure u ask if they have some made in China. I feeling they do. Post your reseults after comparing them.

mine is made in Taiwan and the screen looks great.
good viewing angles.
no problems.
made in Taiwan vs. China was MT4G issue, not sure if it follows on the Sensation.

I am on my third one and there is an obvious difference.in screens and overall performance.This last one has much better viewing angles and more vibrant picture. I had the Mt4g for a short time and it took five of those to get a decent screen. This device screen reminds me of the fiasco that took place with the Mt4g Seems HTC just cannot get the displays consistent. Mine is from Taiwan made on 6/3/11. So far except for a couple of minor glitches this one(the third) seems good. I really do like this phone, I hope it continues to function flawlessly so that it is a keeper. I probably would not go for a fourth go around.

Seems like most of the devices that has a shipping date starting in June is better.. mines has the shipping date of 5/24 and I have the crazy WiFi issue.. now I know what date to look for. Thanks guys.

Mine was shipped 5/30 from China and I have no problems with it. Great WiFi signal and a beautiful display that is extremely bright in direct sunlight. It's actually there best display I have ever used in direct sunlight. I thought the Super AMOLED was supposed to perform better in sunlight but my Vibrant didn't look any where near as good. The G2X I compared her to couldn't hold a candle in direct sunlight.

OK I'm exchanging mines for a China one. My screen has bad viewing angles. And the whites don't seem white. But more of a yellow tinge. :-(

So if yours was made in China, it confirms what the other person has said: that the Chinese made screens are better, because it could be a different supplier, maybe Sony. I just hope that if I go back to Walmart to exchange mines, they have some from China.

Just exchanged my Sensation because as I said in another thread. The battery was not charging. When I traded it in they gave me a Taiwan version and I do not notice a difference in the display besides having a dead pixel so I exchanged that one as well. The one I exchanged that one for was lag heaven so I exchanged that one. I just got my 3rd one today and they were all made in Taiwan.
I can tell you guys this. While the screen might not be different besides defects. The sped of the device differs. I have had 4 of them and all 4 have ran different. This 4th one is the fastest one I have gotten so it's a keeper.
Anyone else find this strange?

Save it for HTC support. If they say it's defective, have it replaced through them.
I called my local t-mobile store because my device has legitimate problems (like wrecking SD cards, the touchscreen only working when it feels like, and a general inability to associate to any WiFi network) and they said they're out of stock because a lot of people have exchange theirs and they have to send them back to the manufacturer.

How do you know if it's made in taiwan or china/

How do you check where and when your screen was made?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

if u look on the back of ur box on the white sticker it tells u where the phone was made

The box my phone came in says Made in Taiwan. Does that mean my whole phone, screen included, was made there? My screen is gorgeous, no complaints here. I had the bad mt4g screen and the viewing angles blew. For people who say their screen is made in China, how do you know? Does your box say China? Or Taiwan like mine?

[Q] ***Day Dreaming*** What If HTC Made The G2X?????

If HTC was the manufacturer instead of LG, what changes to the device do you think they would make? Do you think it would make a huge difference?
Doubt it would be stock android and would prolly have a locked bootloader.
Honestly it wouldnt exist because of the Sensation.

when i had the nexus s and went to the mytouch 4g it felt weird having to press physical buttons. i like the capacitive buttons better. no wear ands tear
It would look exactly like every other HTC phone, would be made with metal (I actually like high quality plastic better as it can absorb shock better), and would be running sense. Probably would have a locked bootloader also.
(I have nothing against htc phones, I have one myself, just stating my honest observations)
HTC already manufactured G2 (with keyboard).

First, I'm guessing that LG was looking for a U.S. carrier to sell the O2X and couldn't find one. With the Sensation, SGS2, Bionic and all of their variants coming, the U.S. carriers probably didn't need another high-end dual core phone. Especially from a company new to high-end phones. T-Mobile probably said if you strip out the UI we'd be able to find a place for it in our G-line. I'm sure part of the deal revolved around T-Mobile carrying the G-Slate. I'm also sure that LG would have rather sold the O2X as is rather than having to develop and support another version of s/w.
Carriers don't just randomly pick phones one-by-one across vendors. They sign multi-year commitments worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That's why LG and Motorola find it so difficult to place their phones. LG was vanquished to the low-end and Motorola sold its soul to VZW. Trust me, there's little passion and emotion at the HQ of any carrier when it comes to an individual phone unless said phone can make them lots and lots of money (EG: iPhone). It's all about the Benjamin's.
So if HTC made a dual core successor to the G2 I'm guessing it would be Sensation-like spec wise without Sense. I for one would camp outside a T-Mobile store to get one.
Have u seen all the issues the G2 has!
No thanks!

If HTC made the G2X, they would use:
1) ****ty Speakers like all their phones
2) Bad molding process, creaking here and there
3) Dust under the screen
4) Somewhat not centered Front face camera.
5) Tape, glue, double sided tape here and there to put the phone together.
Sorry i'm done with HTC phones.

Exactly... Other than the hd2s build quality. I hated my htcs.. Hardware issues left and right with them.. Even the n1 used a cheap screen and had mad dust..
I don't know why people complain so much... Build quality is amazing on the g2x, I've had no reboots like others and the bleed issue isn't a issue for me.
Trust me people, there are good ones and I got one... Actually 2 with no issues..
If HTC made the G2x it would have...
A. only came with a 1250 mAh battery (they skimp on battery size BAD).
B. it would have sucked any extended battery you bought for it dry in mere hours.
C. it wouldn't have had a Gorilla Glass screen (HTC uses a glass that they make which is supposed to be as good as GG, but fails miserably).
D. it would have had that same earpiece speaker that every single other HTC device has (don't get me wrong I've always liked HTC designs, and I know they're attempting to BRAND their phones... but it's getting old IMO).
and
E. We wouldn't have vanilla Android (or Google Dark Ale as they like to call it) on our G2x, we'd have Sense UI. And while Sense may well be the best OEM launcher going, I still prefer not to skin Android and just let us choose our own launcher instead. Every skin creates some lag IMO. With my vanilla Android G2x, I've experienced zero lag to date.
And loving it!

Thx someone who knows about phones, I just hope people understand what quality means in a phone and take HTC down the.pedestal.
HTC fanboys seems to worship HTC crap like apple fanboys do.
Please understand a cheap die cast piece of metal along some bad plastic is not quality and certainly WEIGHT /= QUALITY

[Q] Do you own a HTC Sensation? Are you keeping it?

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.

This debate (which I just replied to in the General forum) reminds me of exactly what my Nexus S display looked like after the Gingerbread update from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3.. Lighter, less rich colors. However, after the update to 2.3.4, the colors were SPOT ON and solid.
Also it was not all nexus with the problem. I see them doing an update to fix the color temperatures like they did on the Nexus S

AUO screen, haven't had a reboot in over a week of owning it. Should be getting a sharp as a replacement because this AUO has a smudge underneath the gorilla glass. Will do some comparisons and post them. In the meantime to make this thread more meaningful, the people who have this issue should post their box date and the date in the inside of the back cover.
Having an AUO I did notice some lines on the status bar as well as the icons. As I said I will have a Sharp tomorrow and will post some indepth comparisons.

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.

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.

finding it hard to use other phones with sub par displays

The HTC one x, may not be the fastest phone, or have the best battery. But after I browse the web with it, its hard to go from superlcd2 to any other display
Its like a joy to browse the net, whereas on my galaxy s3 (its faster) but its meh
Anyone feel the same?

Go figure ... On the HTC forum people think HTC phones are better. Geee ... I wonder what the Samsung forum thinks is best ...

I don't recall a past full of drool when phones were still shipping on 1.85 ... And seem to recall a recent exodus in a certain direction ...

I have to agree I've was testing the Galaxy Note 2 last few days and whilst the display on that is an improvement over the SGS3 it was still Meh compared to the HOX.
Sure AMOLED has better contrast and blacks but SLCD2 is just sexy. Crisp text and sharp. Whites are better, colours are less over saturated, brighter, and my god SLCD3 is supposed to be even better!

I really can't tell the difference. I used my friends gs3 yesterday and it looked perfectly fine and usable to me.
I know we get better viewing angles but during normal browsing i'm fine with either.
I completely agree. My girlfriend has an S3 and the blue tint is incredibly noticeable to me. The One X has the best screen of any device I've ever owned, by far.
I'm not thrilled with HTC or at&t nowadays.
I'm considering switching to Sprint within the next week.
But all the mass marketing doesn't warm me to the SG3 either.
Sorry but the bawdy home button and ugly camera and sensor holes are butt ugly.
Lots of cheap feeling plastic, roundy corners, and Touchwiz - all with a bluish tint display that's horrible in sunlight?
No thanks.
SG3 has never been on my shopping list, and won't be.

Had a lot of time with both. I couldn't agree with you more.

Not to mention the fact that it gets hot when idling... Maybe it would be nice in the cold winter months ahead
After owning an iPhone for 4 years straight, I vowed to never purchase a phone with a physical home button again, and I will stick to it! Samsung dropped the ball with build quality on the SIII, anyone who argues in favor of it over a HOX simply hasn't had enough time with both devices.
