I'm seeing nothing but complaint topics, but my G2x is perfect. I've actually had two G2x's since launch and both were perfect. No rebooting, no freezing, no sluggishness, very minimal screen bleeding etc.
I dont have any issues people are talking about here. Here's a list:
Screen bleeding: none
Rebooting: only once
Battery: yeah a bit... but not BAD like some describe
BlueTooth: Doesn't like my Ford SYNC and one other user has reported same
Touch Problems: none, works like a champ
Data / WiFi issues: No not really, seems to be ok
Not having any issues. My biggest issue is battery life. Everyone wants to play with my phone so the battery dies! Lol

Not me, had for 9 days and I love this. Had a n1, hd2, and vibrant still, and this blows them away...
Nope to be honest blast my other phones away. MT3G, MT4G, Nexus 1, n Nexus S. Its amazing with
No screen bleeds.
Battery running optimally - Pulled out bloatware and other battery consuming apps. PS read - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054420
Graphics are great
Speeds are good.
Reception is good too.
ave of 5.1mb down 2mb up
Runs like a champ.
best so far
Nope this is the android phone i have had so far... g1>mytouch>n1>g2>nS>g2x...
Battery life last 1 day as with any other smart phone. Bleedling backlight hard to notice... I probably would have never noticed until everyone started complaning.
Some issues with the 4G dying after Wifi, so I just killed Wifi altogether (Tmo 4G is pretty much just as fast anyhow) and haven't had an issue. Battery life is about on par with what is expected (around 24 hours), Gingerbread should help out there.
All the problems seem fixable via software (sans the bleeding. Of which I have very little)
for those of you that claim to not have any screen bleed. please prove with name in the picture. thanks.
I have minimal screen bleed but to be honest I usually dont spend time in my closet with a black screen and brightness all the way up so I don't notice it at all. As for the other issues I have not had any myself.
My first G2x had random reboots, screen bleed and eventually the screen starting flickering on and off constantly.
I promptly exchanged it for a new G2x and since then I haven't had a single problem. Not even 1 reboot!
Thing is lighting fast. Chews through HD video, awesome build quality and I really enjoy the crystal clear display. All in all, a great phone.
As far as the battery drain goes, I'm noticing that the cell standby is eating up tons of battery but I imagine that is a software issue that will be fixed once CM7 comes out.
Very happy with the phone! I'm coming from a Mytouch Slide.

Everything is great on mine. The only complaint I have is the cell reception and I think the update will solve that. Its not a hardware issue.
I figure there's some folks on the fence about whether they should get rid of their g2x for the Sensation, or some who have to make the choice between the two.
I owned the G2X from launch day until this week. I've had the Sensation for 24 hours.
I have to admit up front I'm biased in terms of design- I prefer the look and feel of the Sensation over the G2X, no matter the performance of the two.
Initial impressions:
-Look and feel-To me, the Sensation wins this hands down, which is really saying something, because the G2X felt great in hand also. But the shape and design of the HTC is something I dig a bit more than the iphonish slab.
You may prefer the g2x as this is simply preference.
-Screen: call it a slight HTC advantage. The sensation has a higher resolution, which is obvious immediately, and has a slightly bigger screen, but lacks some of the eye popping color of the G2X.
-Speed: The G2X is a bit snappier, but I have yet to miss that extra snap because the rest of the experience is so good. Don't misunderstand, the HTC is also plenty fast, but I have been able to slow it down on occasion.
-call quality/sound quality: about the same in terms of calls, but the sounds (ringers and notifications, speaker phone) are all lower on the sensation, unless I'm missing a setting)
-htc sense/almost vanilla g2x: I prefer vanilla, but htc sense has surprised me..it's laid out really well. In the end, I rooted the g2x, and I'll root the sensation, so I'm not too concerned. If you're not the rooting type, the G2X is for you (though it's so easy to root the hell out of you might as well dive in)
-Battery life: This is the biggie for me. I immediately noticed how much better the HTC is compared to the g2x. Last night, I got 7 hours from the Sensation, and the screen was on full brightness (screen on time-5 hours, 55 minutes), wifi and wifi calling were on and so was facebook, gmail and email syncing. I was trying out everything for those 7 hours, too. Today, having unplugged at 5am, I'm now at 65% 11.5 hours later. This is with minimal use for 8 hours, and moderate to heavy use for the past 2 or so. The G2X either has the worst battery, or the worst battery drivers, and either way, I don't care anymore. I would lose 8% per hour while it sat in my pocket with the screen off. The Sensation lost about 1.5% per hour while the screen's off, today anyway.
Now, if both phones lose the same amount when in use heavily, the Sensation still wins by a wide margin as the idling % makes up for it. Simply put: it saves the juice when you're not using it.
-Bugs: G2x has seemingly 50 crippling bugs, but the most glaring is obviously the battery issues. There are reboots, freezes, factory resets and batteries that just turn off when charging because they're so hot. I'm talking hot to the touch. The LG dbag I spoke to in the tmobile store was awfully smug about these issues, another reason I was looking to jump ship.
Also wifi and data issues were pretty prevalent until I flashed a rom.
The HTC: pending, but nothing as dumbfounding as the mess I dealt with, with the LG. I tried the death grip and checked my screen for dust, and all the popular complaints, but haven't noticed anything yet.
Verdict: The Sensation feels like a Nexus One in hand, has a small led notification, gets much better battery life so far, and just feels more polished, inside and out. The LG is a hot rod with no restrictions, but horrible gas mileage and a slight pinging sound in the engine. If the Sensation were rooted right now, this would make the call way too easy-Sensation hands down. Since it's not currently, I say go with the Sensation if you don't own either one yet. If you own the G2X, I might wait for the update and see how it responds. If you're like me, a Nexus One freak, and you don't mind waiting for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or one of the brilliant minds here!), then the Sensation wins.
Hope this overview helps some people.
I honestly don't get the battery issues that people are having with the G2x. The rest of the issues.. most certainly. I am on my third due to the rest of the issues, but battery... yeah, no. It lasted 17.5 hours yesterday with 3 hours 45 min of actual screen on time + a few calls. And that was with WiFi on continuously but only having connection for 8 of those hours. I have a hard time finding issue with that. There IS a bug in the wifi calling which will eat your battery, but a simple check with "wheres my droid power" will show you that and let you kill the process.
All three of my phones have had issues (the second just loved to reboot randomly and repeatedly and once even factory reset itself) but battery has never even been close to being an issue.
I DO run Juice defender (the free version). If thats of importance. I am currently at 94% at 4 hours 39min since unplugged. GPS and WIFI on, no wifi signal.
Edit cause I had typos! lol.
i just returned my g2x from lots of issues from batt. to wifi calling issues, then to finalize it suck on LG logo, so i returned it and got a mytouch 4g whic right off the get go it aint no dual core but the 2nd gen snap dragon is good and not loosing bars every minute went from 1-3,4 all the time (g2x) so have to love htc phones
i will see if how this phone treats me maybe jump in there next wk and get the sensation..
I loved my MT4G too. I REALLY wish I had skipped the G2x. I have such fingers crossed for the Sensation.
You feel your g2x was snappier etc.
WELLLL WAIT till the bootloader unlocks and the devs start on this beast. faster roms and overcloks your looking at a sensation laptop or tablet not a phone. looool

Same here, my MT4G ran smooth, great signal strength, wifi, battery life was good...etc. This nightmare I dropped the MT4G to get is making life miserable. I'm on my 3rd G2x and all the same problems with each, just in differing degrees. I've been trying to decide if I should hold out and hope for the best or call up Tmo and make them take this crap back and give me a Sensation.

And in reality, real clocking since the Sensation is actually underclocked (the chip is actually a 1.5 GHz chip) I would guess to save battery life?

Wow, I did not know that. Pimp my cpu is just begging to be used in my app tray.
I am totally biased towards HTC I have loved everyone of their android devices!!! The g2x simply sucks period! the screen was nice and that's about it! I am debating whether or not to sell my g2x or just keep it in the top drawer dungeon with my other forgotten cell phones. After 24 hours of playing with my sensation I absolutely love it. I am using adw launcher and for the most part htc sense isn't getting in my way. I love the lockscreen and the ability to instantly start my favorite 4 apps without technically unlocking the phone. I know that after my first 24hrs with my g2x I had already popped my sim card back in my mt4g...... so if you are on the fence about which to purchase GET A SENSATION!!!!
Well I've played with the sensation. I liked it. Was noticeably slower.
But felt great.
I'll be waiting for Nov to mar when the quad core chips release.
I just didn't find it justifiable to switch.
But it is a nice phone.
So is my g2x.
No problems.
Love the the gaming on the g2x

Nice review, thanks. I agree with almost everything you stated. I had the G2X and had to send it back. Terrible battery and the Bluetooth would never connect after the initial pairing.
This is my 1st HTC phone and I really like it. The battery is much better than the G2X. I was concerned about not liking Sense, however, I have been pleasantly surprised. IMO, this is a much better quality/build of a phone than the G2X. It will be even better once it's rooted.
I picked up a Sensation today and it is sitting next to my G2x. So far I have observed the following:
Sensation--Device got very hot immediately after powering it on. It has continued to stay at 101 to 111 degrees if used at all. If it idles it only drops to 96 degrees.
Touchscreen becomes unresponsive at times and a noticeable lag appears while trying to load apps. After charging to full capacity it has dropped 17% in 15 minutes of very limited use. The screen is very nice and it is a very attractive phone. I am not a fan of Sense (although this version is much better than the previous ones) Speaker phone volume is relatively weak (in my opinion) The build is great, although I have found a sort of dent in the upper area of the battery cover. The GPS is one of the best I have ever tried. All in all a very very good phone. The heating issues which started immediately and the touchscreen's lack of responsiveness make it hard for me to consider keeping this phone. I could probably just send it back and get a replacement but I do not want to get on that merry go round again. Unless the over heating ceases or gets better and the touch screen responds on all areas of the screen, it will go back and I will be staying with the G2X. Make no mistake though the Sensation is a GREAT phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I charged my sensation fully before I ever powered it on and I have not experienced any over heating issues. I absolutely hate the g2x lol
I bought my phone a month back. I've noticed a lot of problems.
1) Battery drains like crazy. It's similar to the way I drink beer.
2) The phone heats up. Recently it reaches 46°C.
3) Lot of force shut downs on Htc Sense.
Some one please help me.

I have the same problem after I flash ARHD 3.6.0 - the battery charge leaks during 2-3 hours of intensive load and smartphone becomes extremely hot even during internet serfing.
I suppose is not normal, my phone get a little hot just when i use it plugged in the A/C adapter layed on my bed's sheet, and one time this spring when there was 43°C and i put it in my pocket forgiving to lock the screen and i found it half an hour later extremely hot with the camcoder active.
Normally is pretty cold and i like it, coming from a galaxyS which was all the time ready to burn up my hand as soon i stressed it a litte...
I'm using the beast rom by Melvin. Before that I used cyanogenmod 7.1.

Since getting my Sensation I've never been happy with the battery life.
Been running custom ROMs from Day 1, tried various ROMs and various Kernels and have the same issues.
The issues have been
1) Periods of instability and reboots followed by long periods of stability
2) Poor battery life
3) Phone turning off/dying when using the camera flash in low light
Especially because of the camera flash issue I thought the stock battery had gone bad and wasn't able to provide enough power, so I bought an Anker 1900mAh battery.
This seemed to solve all the issues. Battery life went up to over 24 hours. No camera flash issues and a much more stable and usable phone. I was very happy.
That lasted for a few months and now I'm getting back to where I was with my original battery, poor battery life, more instability and camera flash issues but with the Anker battery.
Has anyone seen anything similar?
I really feel like getting rid of my Sensation even though I love the phone, these issues make it painful to use.
Currently running Faux123 v007 kernel with ARHD 6.6.7.
Wow never heard such of an issue you might have an faulty sensation?
Swyped From My Sensation.
I agree with above post. My anker battery is still going strong after almost a year ! Check your settings and see if something is giving you such a extensive battery drain. Also check your applications carefully. Make sure your sync is not syncing every couple of minutes too, this can really strain a battery. In fact I turn off most sync and only sync email and make sure that's not syncing every minute. Turn off .notification led lights and feedback vibration too. These things drain the battery fast. Make sure in keyboard the vibration is also disabled during typing. I completely disabled led notifications It's waste of battery in my
Opnion. Carefully check All these little things that can pull off your battery. Also disable automatic screen brightness and turn way down to the lowest you can tolerate. All these little things will help save your battery. See if this helps. Remember to check application settings as well. Hope this helps out. If you cannot find .Anything draining it and you have done these things try another new battery. If that continues to drain consider warentee exchange. Best of luck.

Yeah i heard of this one too sometimes in some sensations the anker doesnt fit well and it doesnt go right into the +/- contacts you might want to fill in the gap if there is one...

Put a piece of paper on the opposite site of the battery contacts do that the contacts are pushed harder to the phone and clean them before. This resolved the same issues on my sensation.

ant_thomas, I've experienced the same issues with ARHD 6.6.7 specifically. Battery readings would be wildly inaccurate, sometimes saying that it has 40% left, shutting off and refusing to turn back on completely, leaving me to go into recovery to find that the battery is at 2% actually (might be that battery calibration script). It would also turn off if i used flash about half the time i did use camera flash about half the time. To me, ARHD would be a good rom if it actually read my battery correctly, and didn't give me a functionally half-broken camera.
I'm kind of new to the Sensation, but I've been rom hopping for a few weeks, and I think that's enough to give my amateur opinion. If you're into stock-look, I would recommend Elegancia's stock 3.6 sense rom, Blitz 1.0 (I just upgraded from 3.1.1), or HyperNonSense if you're into AOSP (sense-based, but really lightweight in comparison to VirtuousInquisition). I've had decent enough battery life in comparison to Sense 4 roms or AOSP/AOKP/CM9. But then again, different strokes for different b̶l̶o̶k̶e̶s̶ phones. I can't guarantee anything, as your phone might have the off chance that it's suffering the same symptoms for different reasons, but I hope at least I've helped. Good luck with your phone!
TL;DR: Ditch ARHD - battery read broken, camera flash broken. Elegancia Blitz hasn't betrayed me yet, maybe it won't betray you either. (HyperNonSense by SpIder if you dig AOSP)
Thanks for the replies so far, very much appreciated.
Whilst the battery didn't feel loose at all I have managed to fit in a piece of paper to ensure that it's definitely fitted completely tight.
I am also going to try another ROM or two (definitely going to try Elegancia Blitz) and I'll be very specific about what apps I reinstall after.
I do have some syncing of various services on but I had turned them off in the past and it made no difference, so I thought I may as well have them on.
Invalid stats are HTC's fault, not ARHD's. Sensation simply has broken battery readings.
Sometimes battery dies when it's on 20%, because it was actually on 1%. Reflashing the ROM fixes this. I'm guessing wiping battery stats would help as well.
Anyway, in addition to that piece of paper, I suggest you install Watchdog lite. You can easily follow what is using your CPU, and if an app is "misbehaving" you will get notified
I was having the same issue a couple of months ago while we were still on gingerbread. I sent it for a warranty exchange and none of the issue were present. But a couple of weeks ago it started again with the new phone ,and its gotten worse the last couple of days. It reboots when I use flash sometimes, battery stats are all over the place after constant random reboots, battery takes over 5 hours to charge. It seems I'm not the only one with these problems. It's really annoying and has gotten to the point where the phone is unusable.most of the time.
I have tried many things and nothing works. I tried to get a logcat but these things never happen while the phone is connected, I tried to use alogrec to record it from the phone but won't save before it reboots. I've read many threads with these issues but never saw a true solution:/

It is really tempting just to sell up and get a Samsung Galaxy S3 even though I'm going to make a large loss on the Sensation since they're not going for all the much on ebay these days.

I have had about 8 warranty exchanges, all of them keep getting dust, dead pixels, shutdowns, etc. One of them died and didn't turn back on.
Those who defend HTC for their quality are perhaps blind? I do like the design and materials but design and build quality are two very different things.
I am looking forward to get rid of my Sensation at this point, for a Galaxy S3.
The Sensation is a good phone but too many hardware problems.

Same Issue
I have ARHD T-Mob 1.2 installed. I didn't have any issue with 1.1 but now I get weird battery readings, my phone restarting when I get a call and battery shows around 50-60%
One thing I noticed, it didn't do this until I played angrybirds but it may just be a coincidence.
I may try another rom. Anybody got it remedied by changing to a different rom?
Was just wondering if anyone else had experienced random heating up from the sensation and perhaps managed to pinpoint its cause?
The reason I am so confused is because it doesn't do it all the time so its not that the phone just runs hot, the other day I was playing gta 3 for an hour and the phone was barely warm and now as I type this after some casual web browsing out and about its getting so I can barely touch the bottom of the phone, I saw someone mention something to do with mobile data causing more heat than Wi-Fi which could be the case for my example but can anyone shed anymore light on the issue?

Yes for me when I was using a stock BATTERY I would experience this quite often.sometimes my device would get so hot I could barely touch it. I was actually in fear of melting my SD card! I solved my problem by purchasing a long lasting battery called Anker. My device has never done that since the battery has been installed! Sometimes if I'm playing a intense game I'll get some warmth but Nothing like what was happening before. Before the battery change I could barely even touch my device it was so hot ! The Anker battery solved the problem for me and gave me much more battery time! It was a win win situation, no more overheating and more battery time! That's what worked for me. Hope this helps you out.

My device got some warmth but not that blazing hot. My guess is that you using mobile data a lot without giving it a rest. I'm using the stock battery but it seems quite ok. But sometimes I play HD games and my sensation turns really hot but i could still hold that

I often get decently hot even with my anker battery, but I usually just ignore it and it goes away, I would use "battery indicator" from the play store to see what your battery temp really is, because my phone has felt hot before even though the battery itself was at a fine temperature. If its the battery then think about getting a new battery, but if it isn't then there no reason.

For me my problem was definitely the battery, ! My battery also was giving me only two hours then complete drain. Each issue can be different. But new battery solved the over heat problem for me but I'm certain -my battery was defective.

I'm using anker batteries and after some more testing I've found that it is related to mobile data, after playing games such as Max Payne, gta 3, and minecraft all pretty demanding for a few hours the phone got no more than slightly warm and then I turned mobile data and syncing on checked emails and Facebook etc and the bottom of the phone near the buttons got very hot even after like ten mins, pretty weird.

Constant data usage causes it to heat up. But I also UV'd my phone, which only exacerbated the problem. Once I removed the UV, the heat issue was nowhere near as bad.

i often felt heat phone
i think common ics build problem.
htc have to release some about heating phone.
i go back to gingerbread. it is little heating phone.
i recommend to gingerbread.
The phone gets so hot due to a bad layout on the motherboard, even with an Anker battery I have actually burnt my thumb tip on bottom of the screen.
One way to help the problem is by getting an Anker battery, the only problem with these is they do not have a built in temperature sensor as it was removed to expand battery capacity. So any temperature app will say approx 25.2'c
After some researching I found that the app System Tuner can read CPU temps in realtime, get Pro and the CPU Temp icon pack and you can have alerts that are fully customizable.
