Is the Sensation Worth Getting?

I have the HD2 right now. Is the Sensation worth the upgrade? There is obviously not the HUGE dev community behind the Sensation in comparison to the HD2...

Easily worth the upgrade due to the much, much newer architecture. Even locked it has *AWESOME* written all over it.
There's no development on Sensation right now, as the means to unlock it has yet to be released.
This is (along with the Evo3D) HTC's new flagship, so it's bound to have proper development in time.

I never pay attention to sig's. Maybe I should do so. Haha. But I guess we will have a large dev community behind this phone now?

I would suggest you go for the Samsung galaxy s2 unless you are a die hard htc fan
I had a hero and HD7 and thought I d jump ship and see how samsung phones work
Quiet happy , won't say its all goody but you can easily update to new firmware without the need to root via a software called ODIN
Already on 2.3.4 and never been happy..
Also I think the camera is slightly better than sensation
Just my thoughts
If possible go in a store and play with them both, you may get a bit of any idea of which one you fall in love with

TMobile USA doesn't have the S II yet unfortunately, and to be honest, I'm not sure if they're even getting it. I could get it off NewEgg or eBay but from what I hear, all I will get is Edge, not 4G.

In a few months this phone will have a lot of roms. No need to change.

So wait a bit for the Sensation?

GSII isn't worth it without 3G. If it were on T-Mobile then I would say get it instead of the Sensation. I know I will hang up my Sensation if it ever gets to T-Mobile.

I don't have HD2 or owned one, so i don't know if it's big upgrade. Maybe someone else can answer that. But the Sensation and the EVO3D are the 2 new flagships of HTC. So there is a good chance there will be a huge community, and a lot of roms and other stuff for both of them.

Im not sure about the GSII but everyone knows about the Hercules. It might have a 4,5 inch display and a different chipset but nobody is really sure yet. Its actually rumored to have the Adreno 220 which will probably be a lot faster than it is on the Sensation due to the ****ty HTC drivers and not having a UI with useless eye candy.

Maybe so, but it all depends on how u use the phone. If all the apps and games are still running good, why upgrade. That would be my thought. It's all personal.
But if you want to upgrade, because you want to download stuff a second faster or load apps/games a second faster, or whatever reason, this phone will be a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I mean the HD2 supports 7 meg HSDPA, but I usually get about 2...The thing that attracts me, is the better camera, and dual core CPU.

I was using an Android flashed HD2 up until I dropped it last week and shattered the screen. I had ordered a new digitizer from fleabay but when it arrived it was damaged so I got impatient and ordered a new Sensation instead. I just got it today and, even though I was more than happy with the HD2 and had no plans to upgrade, I have to say I'm very glad I did. The HD2 was is a very awesome phone but after using the Sensation it now feels like it was v rough around the edges. The Sensation is silky smooth - and that's while we're still running on stock!!
I say upgrade. You'll not regret it.

Thanks for the input. And with TMobile planning to upgrade nationwide network speeds, maybe it's not a bad idea. Part of me still wants to wait to see if I can get the Galaxy S II...
Decisions decisions....

I've gone from HD2 > Sensation. Got the HD2 as soon as it came out.
The Sensation is fantastic...a huge leap from the HD2...obviously much faster/slicker...much nice to look at and hold, screen is so much better than the HD2 it's not funny.
Development will come soon

Samsung Galaxy Nexus or HTC Sensation

Hey guys, every one knows about the Nexus now. It looks AMAZING. But it's still plastic. What do you think about it? Should I stick with my Sensation or get the Nexus in exchange by November? Both are 1.2Ghz dual core monsters, the Nexus has the A9 processor and 1GB RAM. The best part is the Super Amoled 720p display - 4.65" - Just amazing. What do you say?
Oh and the worst part is the camera. 5 megapixel? What the..? But anyway, the sensor matters more.
What do you say guys?

If it was an easy swap, id do it. Im not going to swap though as it would be costly and I dont see the nexus being light years ahead of the sensation either.
The sensation will wind up doing the same stuff as the nexus once it also gets ICS.
If I were out looking for a new phone, Id choose the nexus...
Matt

Hmm. How much would the Nexus cost? UNLOCKED.

No idea, but id plan on at least $599.99. Thats far more than youll get for your Sensation.
I dont see anything groundbreaking that the nexus does over the sensation, ICS aside. No reason to jump ship for this phone. Ill stick with my Sensation and wait for next upgrade's phones, which should be groundbreaking by then.
Matt

Damn! Okay, it's a hard decision to make

If I didn't own a Sensation already, I would get the Nexus, Pure Google! I don't regret getting the sensation though.

Loving the nexus, and so very much want the dev support of the nexus, love that everything first thing and how quick it moves because all the devs on it.
But i'm torn, sensation is awesome but slower on devs. I have a hard decision to make very soon. My point being, I can't decide myself, so I can't help you decide lol

I'm sticking with my sensation!

The single most pushing reason to make the jump would be the 4.65" 720p AMOLED display (zomg!!! ). U just can't beat that.
The rest... meh. I guess with ICS and proper dualcore support, the Sensation will finally take off speed wise. Or at least I hope it.
If I was you, I'd swap it for the new Galaxy Nexus. You will always have the newest Android distirbutions at your disposal

Yeaahh! The main reason i WANT to swap is the screen! Damn awesome. But .. it will be damn expensive. Plus, I just asked somebody how much they would buy my phone for, they said - 390$ that's IT.

Yea...So it boils down to SELLING your Sensation and paying another $300 or so to get a screen with better resolution...For what though?
Just months ago qHD was all the rage. I still dont see whats so special about it???
I doubt a 720p screen will be worth the trouble and extra $$$. Now, if you need to upgrade and can get a deal on the Prime, then hell yea.

Hmmm.. I agree

I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus as soon as possible. Not because I think it is far superior to the Sensation but for the simple fact that I am on my 3rd Sensation now that is ridden with dust under the screen. It is such a stupid problem to have with such an expensive phone.
The fact that so many of us have the issue and HTC refuses to admit that it's a known problem has really made me ready to jump ship from HTC without any plan on coming back.

I just like the look of the galaxy nexus, sure the 720p resolution screen is going to be nice but I want the galaxy nexus for the additional hardware like nfc and barometer sensor (because I'm a tech junkie like that). I'm alright with having a dual core processor because Android will not be optimized for quad core for a while. Plus android 4.0 ice cream sandwich has hardware acceleration. I am probably going to keep my sensation though, haven't had any problems with my sensation yet.

Easy answer if you're looking for a new phone right now from an older phone. It would be ridiculous to get a new Sensation right now; it is becoming so outclassed in so many ways. If you already have a new Sensation, it depends on if you think the $ will be worth it. I personally have a good amount of dough saved up and will seriously consider the Nexus Prime because it is an upgrade in every way over the Sensation (the whole 5MP thing is a non-issue because that is not what determines the quality of pictures; also I don't give a crap about plastic construction because living with the Sensation has made me value a phone that is fast and performs well over a phone with an aluminum build).

Some help please lol

Well I have a g2x atm, and let me tell you if when had more support from lg this phone would be on the top of the list but back to reality lol; I'm looking into getting a new phone and I'm stuck on the htc sensation and the the nexus s for t-mobile, now I need some help on this decision. How's the stock roms? Battery? Like just some feedback from you owners. Thank you for anyone who responds

Take a look in sensation android development and see roms support urself
There are lot of roms available for sensation and sensation having dual core processor as compared to nexus single core ,cam of sensation is also nice....8mpx ....
Sensation is definitely more powerful than nexus s.
Stock battery is 1520 mah and backup is gud not xcellent lol.
Sensation also support mhl hdmi support ,go for sensation its better than nexus s.

Well that would first depend on two main topics; whether you want HTC Sense or Vanilla Android.
The Nexus S's stock ROM is smooth, elegant, quick and stable because well it's pure Android.
The Sensation is a power house of hardware, HTC Sense has a lot of customization yet the stock ROM is sorta laggy here and there. However, if you root it, there are AMAZING Sense ROMs out there for you to flash it.
I went with the Sensation because it has a better processor, camera, more RAM, and it just looked awesome to me!
hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

Personally, I would wait a month or 3, as new phoens will be released. The Sensation is now a relatively old device, and HTC will be releasing some new ones in the coming few months
The Sensation is fantastic, I love mine, but it's "standard" with specs....nothing is outstanding.

Thanks guys your really helping me, when I make a list of pros and cons for both phones this is what I get
Sensation pros
4g
Dual core
8mp
Under t-mobile so I can always report my phone lost
Cons
I hear that battery isn't great
And I hear a lot of bad about the Prosser
And the stock roms which I would really like some feedback on it because I love both sense and stock so if I could flash either and they would work fine I would be so much in love with this phone lol
Nexus s pros
Updates lol
Super almoled screen
Cons
5mp
3g
Not under t- mobile
Single core
And this doesn't matter so much about waiting for a new phone I'm due for an upgrade in July and I'm not trying to waste an upgrade on a phone that isn't going to get love lol im going to use the upgrade when I see the phone having great development

Id go this route unless you insist on having a rooted phone with minimal wait time for development. The downside of being first to get a new phone is WAITING for anything to be done with it.
If it were me, Id stick with a rooted g2x and wait for something better to pop up. ICS is out and about and I am sure that any new phone that has good hardware will wind up being great with the addition of ICS.

Then he'll be waiting forever because there will always be new phones. Seriously though, While the Nexus S is smooth, ICS will make this phone one of the best available. The latest leaks are already butter 90% of the time, and they're just leaks.

After the Sensation what?

So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?

after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love

Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.

Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.

I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

Im keeping my sensation for a good while the nexus doesn't worth it 3hours screen on time max bad reception camera isn't great however great display and i have ics on my phone so the gnex isnt so special ...

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see

yea i guess u would need a heat sink or some kinda fan on the back of a quad core device too cool it down....

Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.

I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)

[Q] Is Sensation worth to buy?

I am xperia neo user and want to move on, and buy a new and more powerful phone.
The question is,
1. Is Sensation still worth to buy?
2. Is Sensation get official ICS update from HTC?
3. Is Development here better or worse than neo? At least from cyanogenmod.
4. Could someone give me a reason why sensation is still worth.

Way too many problems after ICS update, also the device, no matter how good it is, suffers same issue as any other electronics ... is getting old and Sensation is old. Maby you are one of those who like to tweak and fix your phone, if yes Sensation is great for you - i buy phones to be actually able to use them normaly with not that much effort put into that. Sensation just needs way too much of my attention with every new update to check what was fixed and what was ****ed more then it already was. Sensation is great piece of hardware - no doubt about that - with crap system and crap software released by a company that dont give a jack about its customers. Thats my experience with Sensation and actually any HTC so far.
But this is very specific, subjective, yet based on reality, point of view. Good luck with deciding anyway.

Sensation is great piece of hardware - no doubt about that - with crap system and crap software released by a company that dont give a jack about its customers. Thats my experience with Sensation and actually any HTC so far.
But this is very specific, subjective, yet based on reality, point of view. Good luck with deciding anyway.

Way too many problems after ICS update, also the device, no matter how good it is, suffers same issue as any other electronics ... is getting old and Sensation is old.

You sound bitter. The Sensation doesn't have any real issues for many, many people. Plenty of roms to choose from and the S3 processor is more than capable of handling ICS, Sense or not. It's a great phone.

Any chance it will get jelly bean?
I am tired to exchange my phone every three months.
Just bought my neo three months ago and now i should change it cause the hardware is getting old and battery life not that good.
What about battery life on sensation? With normal usage (stock and CM).

I came from an Xperia Play at the weekend. The Sensation is superior in every way. The UI is much more fluid in every ROM, bigger and nicer screen, much better build quality and camera. Loads of roms and kernels to choose from. Overall I'm very happy with it

I am xperia neo user and want to move on, and buy a new and more powerful phone.
The question is,
1. Is Sensation still worth to buy?
2. Is Sensation get official ICS update from HTC?
3. Is Development here better or worse than neo? At least from cyanogenmod.
4. Could someone give me a reason why sensation is still worth.

I found mine very slow after I got ICS OTA upgrade to GB and was going to change phone (I only ever had about 60mb RAM spare).
Then I spent some time here learning about rooting/custom ROM's and went ahead and rooted/install custom ROM. I now have over 300mb RAM spare and my phone is nice and fast....now I like my Sensation again

I'm still using a 524MHz phone with no GPU, OC'ed to 710, so a Sensation should be easily fine with ICS (and yes, I'm on ICS too)

I think at hardware side its still one of the most powerfull phones. That official Android 4 is maybe a little fail (Home screen falls almost every time when you close some biiger app) and camera has really bad quality, but with custom roms these problems disapears. For actual price i would highly recommend you to buy this phone.

Thanks guys for your opinion, i think i'll get my sensation soon.
Wait for me

Sensation is an old device but yet if u can't afford to wait for a newer device or simply can't afford it....then the sensation is a great device to buy !
