Hopefully we get this in CM8

I'm really liking the new lockscreen as well as the new multi-tasking ui it has. Wish I could have been that lucky person that got that phone

I read on the cm7 thread that xda said it was fake.

Either way, that guy got lucky...or is one hell of a faker...the honeycomb multi-task and new lockscreen were very convincing

Our sensation should get it right? With Htc 18 month support policy, we should get it. Furthermore, ours is dual core. I did not see any problem to upgrade OTA interm of hardware n software wise should be no problem. Only time will told..

ics coming from htc means its gonna come with sense. they better make sense amazing otherwise i rather just wait till cm8

I kinda hope that video is fake. Idk it looks cool but I was kinda expecting more.

Afaik its fake because Google doesn't write Android version codenames in products

Contemplated the iPhone, but I don't think i can put up with edge.
Sent from my Sensation

yeah, I was in the same boat.
I was greatly anticipating Iphone 5 but, it turned out it did...
if the 4s came out with a bigger screen and larger ram I might still have thought about the switch.
of course I would have jailbroken it as soon as I got it to liven it up a bit.
iOS as it is is a pretty much a snorefest.
but now with ICS coming, think I'm sticking with Android.
have too much invested in Google's products anyway.
anyway, good luck with it mate. come back and visit us.

wow.
iOS is so bland. I hate the boring blue UI.
its so 90s

can we see your thread form when you left the iphone first?

OP - I see. I also owned iPhone before I moved to Android and must admit that iPhone has got it´s magic. But I personally can´t imagine moving from 4,3" to 3,5". I play with my colleague´s iPhone 4 and the display looks so tiny

No meaning , no message, no objective treat..useless i think! If OP asking for opinion choosen between ipone or senny, then i can accept..but now OP already make decision..so, where is this treat will lead us to???? Flame of cause...

We all need a good cry sometimes...Especially us guys! Makes me feel better when I get turned upside down and then break down into tears...As long as no one saw.
All the iphone has going for it is looks and ease of use. Nothing looks as nice as those iphones do, and nothing is as easy to use. That ease of use ALSO is what makes it boring. It spoon feeds you.

boring ios

New to sensation!

Just got the sensation to replace my LG G2x and first thing on the list of things to do is ROOT! I plan on following the stickie on this forum to do it so wish me luck! I switched from Verizon using a thunderbolt so I feel right back at home with this phone!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

welcome to the sensation "thing" lol. Atleast there are more people getting the sensation even though there are new phones coming out.

Welcome...i'm also new in here...
Good choice with htc sensation,you won't regret...belive me...cheers
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

yeah its a lot lighter than the Thunderbolt but its the same phone! I just love it! I haven't rooted yet and am freaking out. I always feel so overwhelmed when i look at the whole step by step process because i look at the whole picture instead of the little steps....AHHHHH

Welcome aboard, enjoy your great new device, and happy flashing!

Welcome dude!! Before u purchase senny, did u do all the research first and read xda? If yes, then good for you. If not, then dont feel regret later!! and please dont compare it to SGS2..thanks

Consider MIUI for Sensation! It's pretty awesome!!

I also came to the Senny from the G2x. It's a much better phone. Rooting is really not hard at all.

Keep an eye on coredroid. And careful flashing
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Gotta ask - Why do you need to root? Have you even tried to use the phone as it is?

I always root my phones....just something I have always done.

One reason for root : Adfree

Great phone! Until the GN is released which will replace my Sensation. Happy flashing!!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

One more reason for root: it's YOUR phone. Welcome back home.

I run Android Revolution HD v 4.1.x
Sense 3.5 interface - If for no other reason, Root so you get Sense 3.5.
Cant get sense 3.5 on Sensation without Root (yet).
In my opinion, 3.5 is a big step up from v3.
Keep on rooting boys !!

Just got myself a sensation as well. Coming from a line of samsungs, most recently the sgs4g. Man there are so many options with this phone as compared to the sgs4g.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

many reasons for rooting: speed and awaken 3D and 2D gaming power!!
was really upset with stock sensation XE.
But ARHD ROM (Cool), Amaze Cam Mod, Bricked kernel 1.5r1 beta 1(fixed 3D & 2D issues and no freeze cam after applying Camfix) and ARHD Radio....
It's A Superior Master Piece!!!!

I don't mind stock I just loved my titanium back up and can't have it unless I'm rooted. Still haven't done it yet....still overwhelmed lol
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

lets just say, all the fun stuff happens when its rooted

I love amaze cam. And also titanium backup and Mybackup are reasons to root. i couldnt imagine a phone without my backups

Suggestion for a new mobile

Hi folks,
I know this is not the right forum to ask a question like this but I have been using my desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

If you are a flashaholic would you not be better off going for the Galaxy Nexus?
At this stage you would probably be better off getting a second hand Sensation or SII as long as it is in good condition, would be much cheaper.

s2 will be better then sensation, sensation battry really sucks!! AND my suggestion is XPERIA S!

Don't buy a sensation, buy a Sensation XE. Better battery, 1.5 GHz processor. The ROM's you flash will be the same though.
S2 is a wonderful and fast phone, but I personally don't like is design. It has 1.2 GHz....but I guess it's a little above your budget around 27k I presume..unless you get a nice deal.
Evo 3D and Xperia P are 25k in the market. Both are pretty awesome. Xperia P just looks so elegant though
Best of luck
Although I wanna know...how did you manage to break a gorilla glass display ?!?!

I can grab sensation xe and s2 for around 24 k.. But dunno which has a very good dev community
Nexus is very much big for my hand that's why haven't got it into picture.
Since I have been using Desire S for the whole time Build quality and ui of s2 worries me a lot but it's development forums are more than just healthy compared to sensation xe so tooo confused on which one to select

You are also in the same mind set as mine build quality and the ui is the only thing that makes me lean towards sensation xe but htc is having a bad time releasing source codes so em a little bit worried as if after some 2 good years I will loose my help from dev community
I like Xperia P a lot but dunno how for their dev community is????

Yeah, there is no better UI than Sense. And is just looks so good. If you get XE for 24k then is wonderful !
Although I'd like to point out that HTC of its really slow with updates. I got ICS mid easy through July. On top of that there was some problem in the update and I don't have a working Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll have to go to the service centre and install a 'solution' to get it fixed. This however hasn't happen to all XE's. Only to some unfortunate devices. (For more information on this check my thread about it on my profile...I don't want to troll too much here)
About Xperia P...Sony devices don't have rapid and consistent development as far as I know...my brother had Xperia Arc S and its kinda slow.
About the screen now I know what not to do I punch my wildfire even often :banghead:
Don't mind I'm travelling and I'm bored so I made this long

Hey, I had the desire s for just over a year too and I've just got the one S. I recommend it. Takes a while to get used to the super amoled screen but when you get used to it, it's a fantastic device. It's got a great size screen. 4.3 inch is much better than 3.7 and I think 4.8 is a bit too big. It's also the same size screen as the galaxy s2 and it's a super amoled display so you're getting the greatness of the sgs2 screen on an HTC. It's got a fantastic processor as well the snapdragon s4 is incredible powerful. im getting quadrant scores of about 5000 which is higher than the quad core one x! So get the one s and then you're staying within the HTC community. I've picked up the sgs2 and I just don't like the build quality of their phones. It's like they have expensive hardware chucked in plastic! Doesn't make sense to me and touch wiz is horrible, no problem if like you say you are a "flashoholic" I'm not sure if it's in your budget but it can't be too far off considering it's dual core and the s3 model is cheaper I think

He is right, I guess if you can manage getting One S at even 28k buy it blindly...I didn't recommend this because it's above 30k in the market.
Something I learnt is never by a flagship phone if you are after the next flagship phone is announced or out. I got Desire HD in august '11 and sensation was announced in September. One X was announced as soon as I bought my XE. They just ditch the older one and concentrate upgrading the newer.

Still, is it the s3 or s4 version, because with the s3 you would got more or less just a overclocked sensation without sd and removable battery.
