Most likely getting my Sensation tomorrow! - HTC Sensation

I've really been itching to get back to a 4.3 inch screen after sacrificing my EVO, and I'm finally starting to feel the age of my MT4G. Cannot wait to get into the new dual-core scene, and it looks like S-OFF is almost here! I found one unlocked and brand new for less than $450 (should come out to an even $200 after selling my MT4G), and I get to examine it in person before I commit to buy! Can't wait!

Nice! The big screen def. is alot better, I too came from the MT4G. I think you getting it at the right time, looks like s-off is just around the corner.

Oh yeah another myTouch user to the sensation. Welcome.
The first time you play with the phone, you're going to be amazed at the screen resolution. It took me 2 days to get used to it.

I think I'm going to get one on Friday. I currently have a g2x,but the sensation seems to be all around the better device. And I like bigger screens. Hows battery life been?

Battery lifes great if you tweak the settings and such and then if youre feeling brave you can try temp rooting it. Then disabling all the bloat and sense launcher. Other then that the screen is really nice! Coming from a htc hero the difference is staggering obviously

This thing is fantastic! I definitely need to temp root so I can restore my apps with Titanium.

I can pick up 2 HTC Sensation's tomorrow
Can't await!!!
It's gonna be awesome!!!

I got it! Lol straight up trade for my g2x. This phone is great so far. I just have to get used to sense. Always had a stock android phone.

When's the last time you actually used it? I thought the same, too, until I actually started using Sense. Are you just saying that because it's the cool nerd thing to say or because that's how you actually feel after using Sense?
And Sense is not just a launcher or a skin. It does a bunch of great things CM doesn't just yet.
I bought my Sensation with the intent of just slapping CM7 on it but in a way, I'm glad S-OFF isn't here yet. I would have probably jumped right back into CM and LauncherPro and not given Sense a chance. I'll stick with Sense for now. It's pretty good.

why lot of people dont like sense? One of the reason i like android better than iphone is because of the sense widget. Other launchers do not have widgets like sense. and its funny that no one is making useful widgets like the ones by HTC in the market which is also surprising...

I used Sense on the Hero, EVO (until CM), the MT4G (just for a bit to see what Sense 3.0 looked like when it was released), and now I'm being forced to use it on the Sensation. I can confidently say that Sense ROMs absolutely suck compared to CyanogenMod, and I would never use one given the choice.
Please list the "great things" that I can do with Sense but not CM. So far I've only found the ability to drain my battery much more quickly.

Sense slows down your phone's performance and drains the battery much too quickly. List ANY widget that HTC makes, and I will give you an alternative for use with ADW or LP (which both blow the Sense launcher out of the water in terms of the ability to be customized).

What does cyanogen mod do that sense cant? Apart from giving you an incredibly laggy launcher from adw.

1. You can use ANY launcher with CM.
2. ADW's default settings make it laggy on some phones. Easily fixed by changing them yourself.
3. Here are just some of their advertised main features. Not including things like native tethering, native screenshots, full Bluetooth compatibility, and you can read the rest yourself.

This is not surprising at all. Glacier is using a bastardized version of sense 2.0 anyways, so there's no chance that htc or tmobile would hack a perfectly good version 3.0 just for glacier. Besides with announcement of sensation, tmobile will have a pure sense phone by summer, this would nudge most users to upgrade to the new sensation which what tmobile want anyways to increase sales. Glacier is an ugly step child used to show case video calling with 4g, sensation is the next flagship phone for tmobile.

Sense is more like what android should of been just with out the extra MB. To be honest I like sense better then stock so many things are better. I use cm 7 but use launcher pro. If sense could just make light framework edits like the Guys who make miui alot of people would use it simply it gives a better user exp. When I see stock I go eww. Its boring.

You're lucky you got in the game late. It was agonizing since I bought it at release. I was checking every day to see what developments had been made. I was even the first to post links to the kernel source when it dropped. The original OS was pure torture. I'm just a Vanilla guy.
Besides- Vanilla takes about 90MB, Sense hits about 280MB.
Vanilla>Sense based on sheer efficiency.
Eh, well I guess the myTouch is running espresso so its not like sense 3.0 would change much on espresso. I'm sure when it gets gingerbread we'll see some UI changes tho.

When i saw the Droid X and Droid 2 getting locked down i decided that will not be a "first comer". I want to wait and see how it goes when it comes to rooting.... i don't mind tinkering. But i'm not putting up with a locked bootloader either.
My benchmarks and general user experience between sense vs aosp are barely negligible. Plus sense has all the UI fanciness and Widgets and IMO is just prettier. For as much MB as sense uses vs vanilla I don't see any meaningful drop in speed or experience. That to me is enough to put Sense higher up on my list than vanilla.

I love both AOSP and Sense, but Sense is just so much prettier and has a whole lot more functionalities. I always end up going back to Sense. The FB and Twitter integration on Sense makes it worthwhile for me. And let's not even start on how horrid the caller ID screen on AOSP is
Although it's bulkier than AOSP, I see no noticeable speed difference.
Don't know if anyone has read the article recently, but there's an update saying HTC clarified that some of the older devices will get Sense 3.0. So, there's hope! And since ours is one of the more recent HTC phones, I think there's a good chance we may get it. If not, I think this will be the eventual ROM I finally leave stock sense for!
As others have said, with these phones having the power to smoothly run Sense, I prefer it for it's sleekness and most importantly the awesome widgets. I will say though, that I've fallen out of love with Friendstream because it's so friggin slow!
I hated the first release of sense that released with the hero, but I love sense 2.0, 2.1. Can't wait for 3.0 to be ported to the MT4G. Should hold me over until the Sensation is released.
See, I like both AOSP and Sense. Just depends on mood, but I can see the benefits of both and understand why someone would like one over the other. I just can't make up my mind sometimes.
I Needs It...... I needs my Superphone Fix...Ima have to turn a lot of tricks for the Sensation.

Sense or no sense

So I'm so confused .
I come from using an iPhone .

It's bloated and takes up more RAM. The visual appeal does not make up for its relatively poor performance compared to AOSP ROMs.

Its not as customizable as I like. I like having a dock with 4 apps that I can change and I also like having the ability to change my icons so I use ADW. Purchase ADW EX from the market and you will not be disappointed. Its like having a grand new phone. It will be the fastest thing you've ever seen. Sense has too much eye candy which makes the UI nit as fast as it could be.

You are correct, except the excellent performance of the GS2 comes in a pathetic, cheap candy plastic shell. Personally I got the Sensation because I was a fan of the design, and have a preference for LCD over AMOLED screens.
No phone will be all things to all people The first thing I did was stick LauncherPro on the Sensation. My stock ROM (Telstra version) was horribly laggy, and performance way under what I expected. Now at least it's fluid enough for everyday use.
YMMV of course, but Sense 3.0 to me is way too heavy on the eye-candy and doodads, while offering little in terms of an upgrade over 2.1. The lockscreen is its one redeeming feature

Galaxy S2 - $800+ , have to import, who knows about warranty.
Sensation - $150 with contract, available in store, warranty.
I bought Sensation because of it's hardware and looks. Stock build is utter disappointment to me. I will happily admit that I had less lag with my single core MT4g with stock rom or CM7 rom and, IMHO, Sense 3.0 it it's current form is the only thing to blame.
For me, Sensation without Sense is just not right. I'm not exactly sure what people mean by lags. I've tried AOSP and MIUI roms and in all honesty, the difference between them and Sense is hardly noticeable. On a beast like the the Sensation, now that we have root and S-off there shall be cooked roms with Sense that will simply fly. In any case, the polished look of Sense 3.0 and its fantastic widgets are simply worth any so called lags, which I am yet to experience, from HD2 Android, Desire HD and now Sensation.

I know I'm not along when I say I like pretty much everything about Sense except the launcher. Luckily that's the easiest thing to change and you don't even need root. I installed launcher pro day 1 and still get to enjoy the sense lock screen, dialer, etc.
No Sense for me is like Non-sense

Sense roms are usually well over 200mb. With Sense you're lucky if you have 100mb of free ram with no other apps running.
AOSP roms are usually around 100mb. With cm7 I have 280mb of free ram with XDA app in the background.
AOSP roms fly compared to Sense and I actually prefer the ui of pure Android.

No matter how much the devs optimize sense it will still be much slower, far more bloated and barely customizable in comparison. Having some cute weather animations isn't worth it to many of us who bought it purely for the hardware specs knowing that as soon as root came around sense would be happily replaced with a AOSP ROM.
Coming from an iPhone I can see why you prefer a lack of customization in place of a little eye candy. It's what you're used to and your preference. Some people buy Porsche for its 0-60 time and others because of those sexy curves, It's just preference.

Cm7 is fast and quite customizable.

My old Desire with CM7 on it has never been so fast! It's a really nice modified rom that's fast and doesn't have all the Sense bloatware on it.
That being said, I like Sense. And I'm happy with my Sensation now . But I might give CM7 a try just for kicks.
It's vanilla Android with small tweaks that make it great. You have a small ROM that is fast and made by a team of awesome coders.
CM goes way back with the first google phone. So allot of people know it.

I had an Eris before my current DInc2 and cm is crap for both. They have little to NO support for my phone and every time I run their ROM it fails as bad if not worse than the half assed alphas put there. Sure it has cool customization choices, but on my DInc2 it is worthless in my opinion until it is fully functional.
I (and you) should never settle for less than fully functional for something so "popular"

The one good thing to come from CM7 is MIUI - which I'm quite looking forward to trying (although I probably go back to Sense)
Personally I am more of a fan of the CM7 based ROMs that come after. Each developer gets a chance to put there own unique touch to the cm7 based ROMs. I remember from the nexus one days after cm dropped the ROMS came flying in with everyone's personal touch. The CM7 code provides a rock solid base with all features working.

6 months on and My Sensation xe is

Rock solid,
Beautiful screen

Have no plans on changing my Sensation this year, as it does everything i need.

A very nice posting from my brick
Love the phone! Had a iPhone a few weeks when my sensation was on service (dust inside the display, got a brand new display for free )
After using a laggy iphone, I realized how much i love the sensation.
It's a sensation... Easy as that.
Same here. My Sensation is 6 1/2 months old, it has no scratches and still looks and feels like on the first day. It's an awesome phone, but the ability to run CM9 makes it still more awesome
I am also running CM9 and got it clocked at 1ghz and hahaha even at this speed is super smooth.
I am really glad that we got CM9, it would be hard to get a phone that doesn't get CM9 support to be honest because these companies overlays are full of bloatware and drain battery super quickly.
The real problem with HTC phones is Sense. I got to have it at like 1.7 to be smooth but then the battery sucks really bad. Then if I clock down to about 1.2 which is when I notice a battery difference, it's all choppy and stuttery.
Just yesterday I played with an HTC One S and I don't really envy anything about it.
And I too feel the same way as a previous poster and that is that I don't feel the need to upgrade.
CM9 + Sensation= Fast, Smooth, Great battery life.

Go to the Android development section, the thread is called Open Sensation. Should be on either the first or second page.
Your phone needs to be rooted and S-OFF, and you need to have the ICS firmware. Flash through recovery after complete wipe, and enjoy.

I buy htc solely for hardware. Been doing it since the apache. Using custom roms since the touch pro. Like the hardware. Don't mind sense but would love to do without it.
Plus I hate how sense has to add notes to all my contacts.

Because, we buy the phone for the hardware. This is xda-developers... We'll get the software we want on our devices one way or another.

Because a lot of us are just in it for the hardware. I don't want a Nexus (though I have been quite tempted) in fact, the ROM I *want* to use is MIUI. However, since we do not yet have kernel source that is not 100% ready for me and I also don't want to lose the Sense burst camera.
I don't hate Sense, in fact it was my first Android experience (HTC Aria) when I first switched to CyanogenMod, I thought "Where did my beautiful clock and Facebook widget go?!"
Then I got over it. If one doesn't take advantage of a majority of the things that Sense has to offer, they simply have no reason to keep it on their phone. I fall into that category.
I promise, if there had been a version of the HTC One X without Sense, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. It's the most beautiful phone screen I have ever used, and I like the general design. My only complaint is no memory card slot.
What you're saying is: If you don't like Touchwiz, don't buy Samsung. If you don't like Timescape, don't buy Sony. If you don't like Sense, don't buy HTC, and if you don't like Blur, don't buy Motorola.
It isn't that simple because some of us dislike them all. I happen to fall into that category, but if I have to pick my poison it is definitely Sense.
We buy the phone despite Sense because we know that there will eventually be the opportunity to remove it.
It's great hardware, and Android devices are rarely stuck on the manufacturer's software
Thanks. That sir is a good answer. Ive been asking people y they would buy a phone knowing its sense, and then complain about it. Just funny 2 me ya know. ;-) but i got flamed for asking the question...........even got called a troll!! Ha ha ha!!!!! Funny!!!!! But ya man, thats all they had to say, instead of getting all sad, and calling people names!

Same here. This is the sexiest device on the market by far. A little low on the internal storage, but this is like saying a 10/10 drop dead gorgeous model isn't any good because her titties are only a B cup.
I was hoping we'd have the kernel source by now so we could get some real custom ROMs on here and not just modded stock ROMs. I do appreciate the mods and hacks but I'm talking about CM9, AOSP/AOKP, etc. Very disappointed with HTC because of their constant neglect. Almost thinking of selling this device and getting a Galaxy Nexus again.
Ok maybe i should have asked.......y do people complain about having sense knowing thats indeed what they bought. I love sense, and sense 4.0 is sexy!!!!

Haha once again, pretty much for the same reason.
I think a lot of us expected to be Senseless much sooner. This is my first rendezvous with HTC in quite some time.

Same as posted before, I bought it because it was priced well, and I don't care for any manufacturer overlay tbh. My first android was the original evo, loved it, but then I found cyanogenmod, and loved it even more. That's what's great about android you can get custom roms, and have it the way you like it.
Also sense has changed a lot lately it use to be able to multitask just like default android, but HTC in sense 4 changed that which, imo, is a reason to be able to complain. Why change something that never had a peoblem.

Have you tried a 100% working cyanogenmod, or miui? Your mind might change if you haven't.

Thanks I don't really think there is anything wrong with Sense 4.0 in fact, I like it. I just know that I don't use it.
I'm going to use Apex or Nova Launcher for sure (I frequently swap between the two) then I lose the Sense widgets.
I would rather use Widget Locker so the Sense lockscreens (despite being pretty cool) become useless. (Not using WL now though because of the multitouch issue it causes)
People just want to get the extra memory it uses back. You're right though, Sense 4.0 is pretty nice in my opinion. Not really much to not like, but if you don't use it it turns into wasted resources.
and I think everyone has to admit, the Sense camera is delightful

Shut up. Jesus Christ.
We complain about sense because we don't have the source code and its a memory hogging skin. If we had sourcw code, wouldn't be an issue.
But seriously. You're annoying.

Nope, you're annoying because you quoted the same person on the same post in two different posts and still added absolutely nothing to the thread.
I personally like Sense, definitely a whole lot more than I do touchwiz since I came from a Samsung Captivate. That being said, I am very interested in trying out a complete "Google Experience" with Jelly Bean.
