Guy at work got the Orange branded Sensation today - I noticed it was S-On - I guess new models aren't coming out S-Off'd? are HTC rolling out updates to remove it in the near future, or will they release a dev tool to s-off perhaps?

From what i saw they'd changed the boot anim, the shut down anim, the mail app, the internet app (or at least buggered around with it) installed a few random apps like 'my orange' and that's about as much as i've seen so far...
let me know if there's anything specific you want me to find out..

That's enough Orange crap on the ROM to convince me to upgrade via Carphone Whorehouse, unless by some miracle someone comes up with a way to debrand it within the next 5 days...
Lots of crapware added...
some orange apps, the orange account one is useful, the rest rubbish. There are paid ones, like Maps, traffic etc, and also 4-5 rubbish games, a MSN messenger which only works on 3G and not WIFI, etc...
In short the usual Orange ****up!
Cant wait for the unlock, to slash and burn through this mess!

Definitely CPW for the upgrade, they only stock unbranded handsets so its where I got mine from
Was gonna do the same, esp since my local CPW guys are really great, BUT they can only do standard upgrades, whereas you always get a better deal by calling orange retentions direct. And they only send you direct from Orange stock, I asked if I could pick it up from CPW or even the local Orange shop, and they said no, it has to be posted.
In the same postion myself, due my orange upgrade, but dont want the crap. However i cant use carphone whare as they wont do a standard orange upgrade for me - as i still get free home broadband from my old orange contract i dont want to loose that!
But does anyone really believe that orange/tmobile will allow the htc updates in aug/sept to allow s-off - i for one suspect they will not allow this.
I will prob take the upgrade from orange, ebay it new and buy network free from elsewhere.

I doubt very much that Orange will allow s-off on their handsets. They are branded for a reason, and that reason is to **** people off. I only got the Desire once I was certain that it could be de-branded, and getting that Orange crapware off of it was the best thing I ever did to the phone.
I would have to be offered a very good deal to accept an Orange branded handset again, especially if it couldn't be de-branded, and at the moment it looks like the Sensation can't.

Hello, my first post, awaiting delivery of the eagerly anticipated handset.
Just to let UK owners know, the HTC Sensation is now available to order on o2.
Thanks
I wonder how bad their branding is? I know they've got a later ROM than Vodafone
really, i didnt know that!!! what is missing or late about it?
Later as in newer. The Vodafone ROM is 1.27 whereas the o2 one is 1.34 so should have some bug fixes in it
ahh, i see, soryy for the confusing myself there.
any one out there who has a handset from o2? does it come with the S-OFF?
mine is at home charging whilst im at work
My 2p is to say it'll be S-ON but I might be wrong. Vodafone ones are S-ON
I've had my Sensation on pre-order since May through buymobilephones.net (21.50 pm contract) and £80 for the phone.
Mobiles are charging £220 for the phone on the same contract.
I just hope they deliver...
I'm getting mine tomorrow too (in theory at least!) - will update!

I quoted O2 the same deal over the phone and the best they could match without me bartering too much was £102 for the phone. Which to be honest, after 30 mins on hold I was ok with. It's been shipped, hopefully arrive tomorrow.

Hi,
Is there any branding on the phone?
Thanks.
No branding at all.
So far, very impressed. Apart from when sense decides to 'not respond' so a quick 'on and off' does the trick.

You caught me Hope you don't mind , I though my sig looked a buit Naff with nothing in it, lol
but yea, I wish voda would let the OS be, yea ok maybe add an app thats of use, but messing about with stock apps, thats not what I am paying for. I am hoping that rooting s-off will get rid of this vodafone restriction.
I a ( and have asked in the QA section) if it was possible to do what you could do with the old nokias, and thats edit the phones product code so that it would install the offical OTA update (i.e the Eu standard) rather than the branded one.
Also for Ireland
Also now available for Vodafone Ireland. They're possibly the same version of firmware though.

I don't mind at all mate!!
The gold card that worked on previous HTC handsets would've done the job here too but seems it doesn't with the Sensation at present (which worked in much the same way as old Nokia handsets in that it hid the phone real product code)
hopfully they are working on the gold card, I have seens ome threads regarding development and testing of the gold card, but I assume this is more likly to work when s-off has been achieved.
Once we have S-OFF we can go custom so stock RUUs will be pointless. Just use a custom ROM based on the stock ROM!
Have they done anything sneaky in it that will effect s-off later or is the H-Boot the same? I know the last update for the Legend from Vodafone made it a lot more awkward to root it and at the moment neither Htc nor Vodafone have said if Vodafone will allow s-off. Just a bit scared to update and be ****ed later.
well i asked this on the vodafone forum and the mods replied stating that they don't see why Vodafone would not allow the s-off update to go through. I guess its a good sign when you dont just get the generic 'We don't know at this time'
also I am guessing with a modded rom, this would be better than a stock rom, yet how would you go about getting updates for a modded rom? Just wait for a modder to release an update, also with a modded rom, do they just use the base rom i.e euro standard.
So there's already been one update for Euro and now today people are getting 2.3.4 on Euro Sensations? WTF? I paid $600 USD for my T-mobile Sensation 4G...I should have just bought the Euro one so I would get updates.
I don't understand why HTC hasn't even released a maintenance update for T-Mobile Sensation to fix some of the bugs. Frustrating.
Relax guy, you've had the phone for what, 6 weeks? The phone came out first in Europe so its perfectly reasonable that they'd get the updates first. Be patient.
T-Mobile is horrible at pushing updates.

I've been tempted - I've rooted all my previous phones including my G2X that I still have but the problem is I now have work email/calendar on my Sensation via Good For Enterprise. That has a root check that will disable it if you're rooted - there's ways to work around it but it's a bit of a pain. Also I'd rather not root or touch my Sensation if I can get the update from HTC - having done this with many phones, while it's not always as fast the stock ROM on phones is usually the most stable/reliable (big exception is the G2X )

Good for Enterprise does not have root check. I have rooted Samsung Vibrant with CM7 on it and Good works no prob.
I had a great conversation with a lady named Monica at HTC call center in Indiana while processing my back cover exchange...She said they are indeed working on the update now and it is in a testing phase...She said that once it clears that then its up to T-mobile to push it out and we have like 3 updates she said. Why so many? IDK but she was very informative and nice.
So in theory she says they have a team that is ALWAYS working on every phones updates until that phone can no longer be supported anymore. So she said not to worry that it is coming and we should see at least 2 by September. Take it with a grain of salt, but I see no reason to not believe her.
Sounds more like a g2x forum with all the update stories
You guys should try baadnewz 2.1 rom which is based on the european 2.3.4. Sense is a pleasure to use on 2.3.4.

Just entered internal testing phase at TMO. Won't come this month. HTC said they would release it by end of this month and THEY did! They released it to TMOBILE. It is now up to TMobile to verify, test, and push out, and I'm sorry to say they have promised nothing in the way of time frames. IF all goe well with internal testing, look for the release in the second half of April to first half of May.

What you have to remember is, when HTC promises a timeframe, that does notnjnclude the timeframe it takes the US carrier to release and update (phones that have the same model, but sold both internationally and in the US).
So as to when T-Mobile will push an ics update, well it's really impossible to tell.

T-Mobile ICS upgrade
My suspicion is it's going to be a long time, if ever, before we see an official T-Mobile USA ICS upgrade for our Sensations.
Reasons being:
An ICS OTA upgrade will result in a huge bump in calls to T-Mobiles support lines. Having worked in a call center the last thing they want is more calls as more calls mean more $$ going out the door.
An ICS upgrade for the Sensation might undercut sales of the upcoming HTC One, which T-Mobile definitely doesn't want to do.
It would not surprise if the upgrade doesn't come before the fall or even if they blow it off completely. Just my opinion.

Yeah, what you said is not gonna happen. T-mobile upgrades phones all the time. They upgraded the mytouch from froyo to gingerbread, so why would they not upgrade the sensation from gingerbread to ics. They will get more calls to cs for not upgrading it than If they upgrade and have problems. But it will take a little longer, because they gotta get their bloatware working with it.

I think he was just referring to the other guy above, no quote just a bit confusing!
You people are so positive! I think that they are simply working to make their bloatware compatible with ics. The first thing I would do is delete that junk.
The tricky thing might be getting Wifi calling to work on ICS. I know some of the Rom developers were having trouble getting this working.
HTC Confirmed that the "Sensation 4G", which is T-mobile's branded version will get ICS, so I certainly think it is coming.
I am just worried their marketing team will push it off till after HTC One and Galaxy SIII launch so they get a bunch of people upgrading/renewing for pre-installed ICS phones...

Yep, my Sensation just updated to the newest Play store - v.3.5.15 along with a slew of apps that needed to be updated - some good, some bloated; among them Flash player 11 and slacker radio. So maybe these updated apps push may have something to do with ICS incompatibility.
Regardless, T-MO will eventually send out an ICS update. I'm hoping next week, but realistically, sometime in April. May would be a complete joke.
No ICS anytime soon...
Today T-Mobile started replying on Facebook to inquiries regarding ICS on the Sensation with variations of the following "T-Mobile USA Oh you're sporting the sensation, nice! right now we have done some tests with what HTC has provided us for ICS on the Sensation and the results were not exactly what we needed so HTC is currently working on fixing the bugs so we can roll that out. ^KM" In short they are saying they've run into problems and sent it back to HTC for review. Don't see this coming out anytime before the second half of the year.

I was speaking with a HTC customer service today with a basic support issue and while i was on the phone with them i asked about android 4.0. I take most claims like this with a grain of salt but being that this is from HTC tech support I assume that it is a reliable source. According to HTC, the ICS update for the T-Mobile Sensation
4G was released to be pushed YESTERDAY with the initial push starting today through April 1st with a schedualed upgrade completion by the end of april. I know there are a lot of naah sayers that will want to attack this post because they believe that it will be summer time or never or after the release og the HTC One S and to counter those comments before they happen i want to say very blatantly "I DONT CARE".
Man I hope whoever told you that was not BSing you. That would be great cause I want to wait for the official update before I S-off, flash a custom recovery and then a custom ICS ROM to my current Sensation.

Well to be honest it does make a difference, the difference being that I want to wait for the OTA. I have that right right you know. Not to mention I rather like the Visual Voice Mail app.
Don't get me wrong I tried several of the very first alpha and Beta ICS ROMs on my original Sensation. It was S-off and Super CID with a custom boot animation that I had made for myself. But it crapped out on me with total shutdown, it would not charge or turn on. And it did this very suddenly. So I had to get a replacement from T-Mobile and I want to keep this one stock until I get to try out the Official OTA for the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G. I am doing this just in case I want to request another replacement for any reason, oh and did I mention my replacement had bad dust under the screen so I am really considering replacing it anyway. That is another difference it makes. So as you can see you did not know all the variables and really should not have said something so arrogant. And it does make a difference.
Last night around 10:00 pm T-mobile sent a text and it said OTA UP three times, so I believe something is up......
Last nite I did the *#*#checkin#*#* thing and it came back with updates for almost all of The tmobile branded preinstalled apps.

I got a simple update for Gingerbread. My software number is now 1.50.531.1 before OTA it was 1.45.531.1.. Perhaps it's a prerequisite update ahead of the ICS OTA?

A little late to the party I see.
HTC Sensation 4G w/ Beats Audio
Doubt it
On their Facebook page the last couple days T-Mobile has been responding to inquiries about ICS on the Sensation with variations on the following theme "we are currently testing ICS on the Sensation but it isn't the experience we are looking for so HTC is working on our feedback before we send it out and we don't have a time yet. " Doesn't sound like it will be out anytime in the next few weeks. It sounds like T-Mobile and HTC will end up pointing fingers at each other leaving us waiting till at least the second half of the year for our ICS.

Well to be honest it does make a difference, the difference being that I want to wait for the OTA. I have that right right you know. Not to mention I rather like the Visual Voice Mail app.
Don't get me wrong I tried several of the very first alpha and Beta ICS ROMs on my original Sensation. It was S-off and Super CID with a custom boot animation that I had made for myself. But it crapped out on me with total shutdown, it would not charge or turn on. And it did this very suddenly. So I had to get a replacement from T-Mobile and I want to keep this one stock until I get to try out the Official OTA for the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G. I am doing this just in case I want to request another replacement for any reason, oh and did I mention my replacement had bad dust under the screen so I am really considering replacing it anyway. That is another difference it makes. So as you can see you did not know all the variables and really should not have said something so arrogant. And it does make a difference.

Well when you make a vague statement that doesn't really make sense to anyone but you.. You kind of invite people to say something...
I for one, feel invited.

Man I hope whoever told you that was not BSing you. That would be great cause I want to wait for the official update before I S-off, flash a custom recovery and then a custom ICS ROM to my current Sensation.

Really, I mean really! Was any of that necessary, no it is just something to feed ones ego with. I think that XDA senior member kingston73 has it right, XDA " Could be even better without the egos...".
It will get here when it gets here. To be honest, I don't think tmobile is in any rush.

Idk why everyone is so impatient for T-Mobile to release ics ..I have T-Mobile USA and for example....gingerbread (stock from T-Mobile) was terrible
..wait...horrific! compared to what our friends here at XDA did. ..what makes u think ICS from T-Mobile extra inflated with all the bloat T-Mobile adds in is going to be any where close to the ics roms we have on xda already?
