Please help - HTC Sensation

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?

I would get a Sensation 4G. G2X has to many problems, and the SGS4G is kinda dated.

Sensation. Easily the best choice. Dual core, 768mb RAM, great looks, reasonable battery life, great overclock.

G2x. All of em are good now!

I am really torn... know they are all great phones... the SGS4G has an amazing screen, the G2X has stock AOSP so no need to root, but the Sensation has the rocking hardware and great screen size....

g2x = problems, problems

Lg can't make a phone to save themselves. I've said many a time they should just stick to tvs.
G2x is awesome on paper but as stated above is very buggy.

Sensation for sure. Yes this is a bias opinion.

Hahaha thank you Master Jimmah. Actually I'm kind of leaning toward the Sensation, mostly for the screen size. Not sure about the locked bootloader, though.

Not just screen size. A higher resolution than most. Being rooted is exploding atm, new **** everyday. Htc can make a phone, that's for sure.

G2X is not a bad phone--the hardware is definitely not lacking and it's running near-vanilla android! BUT the software's been known to be plagued with crippling bugs. If you know you're going to be flashing over CM7 or some other ROM, then G2X wouldn't be a bad choice.
Sensation is overall more stable and better built, but perhaps not as zippy (unless you again flash custom ROMs)

Lol that's really bad timing. They say the HTC Ruby will also be released on that same day and will outspec the sensation with a 1.5 ghz dual core. That could have been an option as well.

I'm sorry but does that make any sense at all? You said the GS2 wins and then you state the 2X is better.
And in reality, the SGS II is obviously a more polished product than the 2X.
Yeah. I realized were on the brink of a whole other level of phones.
The gs3 will be worth the upgrade.
I'm definitely keeping the g2x over the sensation.
But I would have loved the gs2.
I don't see how anyone could rate the sensation over the g2x

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Yes the Thunderbolt is sturdy...until the kickstand peels.

Point is...HTC suffers from launch bugs and jitters like any other manufacturer.

Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.
I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.
I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?

I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.

G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.
You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.
May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G
Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.
But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out.
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.

Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.

Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.

Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.

Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.
They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.
All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.
I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.
Hope that helps

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.
But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.

Mt4g still alive and well!

Has anyone besides me noticed, that with all the newer handsets that are coming out, the mt4g is still comparable, and not really outdated! I am still loving mine. Best handset is have had to date. And believe me, b4 I got laid off, I was changing phones every 3 to 4 months...

The specs for the MyTouch 4G are great. If I hadn't rooted it, though, this phone would be crappy.

Lol, well I wouldn't go that far. But yes, it does put it right up there with a step behind the Sensation group.
All thanks to these devs.

IMO the sensation really isn't anything special. The screen on it sucks and its not that fast for it being a dual core phone. I played with the epic touch gs2 yesterday....and now that's a phone to drool over. That right now is the only phone out that's worth an upgrade from the mt4g. Again this is just my opinion.

I've heard some bad things about the Sensation, but I think the sluggish speed is caused by the async Snapdragon that Qualcomm made. Both CPUs won't be on unless they're both needed and I'm guessing that doesn't work really good in Gingerbread, so perhaps on 1 core is active. When the Exynos or Tegra 2 the cores are both on all the time, so they should be faster, although they still clock up and down as normal. The screen in lacking, but it's no S/Amoled or IPS or Retina. HTC doesn't really produce nicer screens like the competition, they use S-LCD or LCD in their phones, not sure if they have any other tech ATM.
Well, I can agree on this. I've never been a fan of MyTouch models, but T-Mo forced me. I've been from a T-Mo G1 (Dream), to a T-Mo G2 (Desire Z), then to a samsung Galaxy S 4g and when it got stolen, the assurant would only leave me with a MyTouch 4g. Really can't compare the screen, but hey, I'm more than pleased. I'm quite impressed this phone doesn't have that much of a great feedback from T-Mo. :/ Oh well.
Yeah I've had a bunch, came from an epic and I have to say this phone is good stock. Unity is boss though. Omfg.
Edit: one other thing... This community is so chilled and friendly compared to the previous ones I have been a part of. Thank you people...

Do you wish you had your SGS4G still, or you happier with this one?

Totally happier with this one. SGS4G relied TOO MUCH on the screen~ and it was just annoying sometimes. I got used to physical buttons because of my last phones, so I felt like using an iPhone not an Android. And besides, the SGS4G's front facing camera was just sad.

You didn't like the ROM's for the Galaxy? I would think their FFC quality would be better than the MT4G's.

DhD, TB, and MT4G is last 2GS single core proc of HTC and with even DDR1 768MB we are set for long time. Keep in mind with custom mod hack (script, tweak, rom, kernel) if you know what you doing your set now until we have need for dual core.

Sorry was it hard for you to comprehend?
DhD = Desire HD (GSM)
TB = Thunderbolt (CDMA)
2GS = Second Generation Spandragon
So technically Inspire HD (GSM-US) is equivalent of Desire HD (GSM-EU). Since we real pro die hard SmartPhone user know HTC owns Moto and SamSUX, so that's another subject of its own.
Now the point I was making is as you being home user you yourself do not need or dual core mCPU yet. So MT4G is same spec as Thunderbolt (yes I'm aware of the screen and nand diff). Thus last of its kind not failed attempt to upgrade us to dual core when Android framework so far utilizing only cpu0 as cpu1 thread is most not used as OS and App is not using it yet.

Most likely, never had the chance to check. The phone got stolen a month after bought so I could barely play around with it. It's not usual of me to root a phone the same day I get it; I stay with root for a few days, and in this case, a month. Now with the MT4G, no way I was gonna stay with stock for a month, no way. |: hahaha.
Hi guys, I've move to the Sensation its nice and all,but mytouch4G seems better and faster to be honest I miss my mytouch4G its a great phone. I'm thinking of selling this Sensation and get HTC Amazed or SGII. But I love Sense but the speakers in HTC sux,gonna be a hard decision.

I'm new to smartphones, got the MT4G in Feb and love it. I just rooted last month and put Virtuous Unity(2.3.5 and V9 unity kernal) on it and it outperformed the Sensation in quadrant and just "feels" better.
The MT4G forums here are great! Even this old man has learned alot.
This is my first smartphone. Rooted and S off the first week. Been impressed eversince. My girl got a g2x it seems sluggish compared to mt4g. Battery life is much better also.
