Is it worth getting. I never owned a Samsung phone but I'm considering it. I'm tied of htc and the craps quality jobs they do with their phones. The dust, the reception, death grip, sense slowing down the phone and also keeps reloading everytime I hit the hone screen.
no dont do it!! now the prime that might be something that could draw your interest
If you have the sensation getting the s2 is a downgrade.

because i own an htc sensation and im very unhappy with it and i know if i ask this in the gs2 forum their just going brag about how good the phone is. So id prefer to hear it opinions from someone who owns the sensation also
For your sense issue, you might want to try another launcher like launcherpro or adw

That doesn't mean it will remove the sense from your phone.
I suggest using aosp roms from xborder or cm7.

im already using launcher pro but its very upsetting that i buy htc phobes because i like sense but yet it slows down the phone and having to reload sense every tine i hit home key to get out of an app gets quiet frustrating

My advice would be to go to a store and try it out for about an half hour, then take a decision once you tried it.

My two previous sensations weren't but with this dust issue I have had to keep getting them replaced and now I'm stuck with this one which is slow. I wish we had gotten that 1gig of ram like the Evo 3d did

If you are unhappy, sell it, return it, whatever. No one should decide for you.

No it's not.
Going from the Sensation to the Galaxy S II is in fact a huge upgrade.
I'm not saying the Sensation is bad, i'm just pointing out that the Galaxy S II is pretty much better than the Sensation in almost everything.

my sensationwith ARHD 4.1.3 is running perfect.
Please explain only upgrade is the 4.5 screen which isn't that much of a upgrade because its wvga with lower resolution then sensation qHD

The NVIDIA chip has a better video system than the Qualcomm.
The LG GX2 has faster graphics than a sensation.

its a super amoled plus screen, 1gig of ram,, 2mega pixel front facing camera, 1.5 dual core, i dont much about the phone im just going by the specs on the site but so far it seems to have better specs then the sensation.
I currently have the DHD, and I was kind off interested in the sensation XE as a possible upgrade, finance is not an issue, but i was really discouraged after reading about the sensation's ''Death grip'' issue.... I have looked around on the internet but couldn't find any suffiecient responses regarding that issue....
1.do you guys know if the death grip probs are still being reported by sensation XE users???
2. if no, do you recommend me upgrading my DHD to XE??
**motives for upgrade== better specs, better battery life i.e more movies, more **games etc. , better music experience, and last but not least to possibly get **the new version of android and htc sense
p.s plz feel free to recommend any other device for a possible upgrade (excluding Galaxy s2 )
Ive just upgraded from the DHD to the XE and i couldnt be happier! I havent noticed any issues with a 'death grip' at all.
Dual core is smooth and havent had any lag, beats sounds amazing (although i know they have a runnymede port on dhd anyway), the headphones are pretty good and phone feels the usual HTC quality. The thing i noticed the most is the better screen resolution, and as it has gorilla glass, there's no need for a screen protector!
All in all a very decent upgrade and id have no hesitation in recommending it!

If you live by that policy, you would never buy a new phone. Or a new PC. Or a new car ......
I've had no issues with death grip on my Sensation. Couldn't be happier that I made the right choice.
thank you guyz for the responses.....it really helps
And this members opinion I'd learn to ignore. Just for future reference .

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Pros: good built quality, htc sense, qHD resolution.
Cons: size is a bit to big for my hand to use phone while walking, battery time, not very good stock ROM.
That's just some things that I can say now for using this device for a few months.

Not even. I owned a g2x and switched to sensation because of how bad a devise it was. Sensesation stock from is way better than the gingerbread on g2x too
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
I came from a gs1. I didn't have very big hopes and I was conscious of the possibility of not having such a great performance on the sensation.
But I bought it used, the price wasn't high and I wanted to play with Sense.
PROS
. Performance is actually very good, much more than what I expected. The phone is fast and you can easily get +7000poins on both Antutu and CFbench. @1.5ghz is more or less on par with GS2.
. Battery (with ICS) is really outstanding
. The phone looks good, the dimensions are perfect
. There's a lot of development
. I don't have dust under the screen
. qHD is great, you'll see the difference when you go back to a WVGA phone lol
. GPS is great
. Sense is pretty great and scrolling between homescreens with ultrasmooth rosie tweaks is probably the smoothest - iphone like - experience I've ever seen
CONS
. The LCD is ok, but I still prefer superamoled (by far)
. The power button is a little flimsy, it feels like it could break easily and for some people it does. I always use a wake up with volume button mod just to be safe.
. Sometimes there are some touchscreen issues due to grounding problems
PROS:
Well built, feels good in the hand
Camera is ace, screen lovely.
Design is good, the slight curve on the screen is a classy touch
It's speedy, very responsive and the best handset I've had (coming from a HTC Hero, Moto Defy then an Xperia Arc S (which was great too))
CONS:
The battery life. Oh god the battery life
I've found the volume rocker on the side to be very sensitive. Find myself pressing it by accident of you hold the phone in landscape mode, or when you're taking pics you zoom in by accident
I also thought the outer case, while durable and looking good, was FAR too slippy to hold sensibly. It felt like it was going to squirt out my hand every time I held it.
Overall, I would have no qualms about recommending it (Although the Sensation XE is probably a better buy now)

Thank you all for your input. I have been looking through the forums but its difficult to tell which are actual issues as opposed to user incorrect flashing. Your pros and cons are very helpfull. I just ordered my sensation and should have it within a week. Might be a nice change from my love/hate relationship with my g2x.

guys i have the option to get a new phone and im looking to get either the sensation for free or the one s. i just dont know if the one s is really worth the upgrade it or should i just stick with the sensation thats free till a better htc phone comes out?
im worried about development for the htc one s cause the sensation has a lot of support in this forum and a lot of roms and im scared the one s isnt gonna get as big as the sensation.. what are your takes?
thank you
I personally don't see any upside to the One S honestly. No storage extension, a non-removable battery, not a quad core. If you're looking for sense 4 the sensation has some stable and fast ported roms from the HTC One S.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
thank you man thats what i was thinking as well. i just dont know how stable the sense 4 for sensation is but ill look into it.
I just tried CoinDroid as my first Sense 4 ROM today - so far so good! No stability issues at all, and the camera's burst shots is DAMNED FAST.

Both are still qHD. Amoled or not is simply a matter of personal preference.
The One S not having quad core is in fact better. (S4 > T3) Pretty much the only thing that appeals to me is the S4 in the One S.

Well what are the disadvantages of qhd super amoled? It's just so eye popping, you can't see your reflection on the screen when in use, better in light, less power consumption, larger optimum viewing angle, what isn't there to love about super amoled?

i currently have both the sensation and htc one s
and i have to say that HTC ONE S IS FRUSTRATING when trying to root , backup, restore or anything
the sensation was so good to me.
but the htc one s is faster than the sensation.
there is one bug with the htc one s when rooting and flashing to a diff rom is that wifi doesnt work. and i need my wifi.
if u r thinking on upgrading dont go for the htc one. SUCKS honestly.
stick to the sensation!

Between the two the non-removable battery is a deal breaker...
just my .02
One S has much better camera if that is important to you. I mean the actual sensor itself. Great in low light situations. However you're stuck with about 10 gig of user space and that can be kind of crippling with no external sd card. With the Sensation I have a 32 gig sd card which is great but I wish my camera sensor was better. Especially in low light.
HTC really likes to stick us between a rock and a hard place sometimes!

You guys do realize that this thread is almost a year old, right?
Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug
In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

It does lag but its interface seems even more bloated than HTC sense. Also, the 3 d requires more power.

I think the phone is good. Though its pretty outdated with all the new phones being released with better stats. But with the custom roms we get here it still manages to keep in the fight.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics
I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.
Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!

Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.
Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.
The BAD:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
The GOOD:
*Everything else
