hey guys one week ago i just bought my sensation and i found out it was made in china behind the phone box and i googl'd about it and figured out that alot of people who got sensation was made in taiwan...did i bought a fake phone?...
It's legit. I bought two from T-Mobile directly from their website.
Both says Made In China.
oh really?so why some people got phones who was made in taiwan?

Because HTC is a Taiwanese company.
Apple is a USA company in California, all their products are Made In China... so all Apple products are fake?
If you bought your Sensation at a legitimate place and it's Made In China it's fine.
Unless you have other suspicions, your phone is legit.
ok thanks more comments please just wanna be sure ;o

WHY!?!?!??! Seriously.
If there is nothing that makes you think it's fake other than "Made In China"..... why do you think it's still fake. sheesh.
You know what, nevermind, I just thought about it more, everything Made In China is fake. Everything. Have fun.
You could give HTC in your country a call, they will be able to tell you if your phone is legit based on the IMEI or serial number under the battery.
P.S. I don't think it will be fake unless its slows have a crap screen and two sim card slots or you brought it for $100.

check HD camera
check hboot version

HTC Complaints managers words to me were
"i apologize i can confirm there are two different versions of the handset being sold, one is chinese, one is taiwanese"

You can calm down as well.
Since I stopped laughing from earlier, I'll tell ya my S4G is also made in China and I've verified with HTC that it's legit. By verify, I mean they looked up my serial number and sent me a new back cover. Can't get more official than that.
This S4G was purchased directly from Tmo.
Do you feel better now?

Looks like somebody is selling a HTC Kaiser!
I want this phone bad but should I trust that this guy is for real?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290119898443
Someone posted this kind of listing on Ebay before the WIzard got release and most thought it was a scam but ended up being legit...
Most likely a pre prod version with bugs. But who knows

Wouldn't trust it! Inaccurate information. Shows "also known as the HTC P4350" It's actually the 4550!

Qualcomm CPU? That'll be interesting.

Have you noticed how quick HTC & Sprint are to fix the issues with the Evo 3D?
Evo 3D has had 2 updates already. 1 before and 1 right after launch.
T-Mo on the other hand does nothing..and the Sensation has way more issues than the Evo 3D.
Let's weigh in and see what you guys think the reason is.
Personally i think it was just a bad batch or 2. Each device seems to have different versions of different problems. most people are only complaining because they go looking for an issue most times. Dust can only be seen if the screen is off is not anything honestly to complain about to me. A couple dead pixels? yes. Lag and things like that can be fixed i think.

T-Mo likes to put out collective updates that fix multiple things, rather than two small updates that might lead to other issues...
There aren't many major issues with this phone either...most of the ones complained about are hardware (which must be replaced) or user error. There are alot of clueless people complaining about problems that aren't even problems here.
Agree with the above post.....
People have to keep mind that the Sensation is, for a vast majority of owners, a problem free device.
Other than a speck of dust on my first one, my second one is just about perfect....hardware and software.
It's a VERY small % of Sensation owners that ever even look at any forums, let alone post on forums. Even then, the people who are on this forum and have major issues over and over are in the extreme minority.
As far as updates and s-off and all that stuff....wasn't it just a month ago that the CEO of HTC said they were going to change their policy on bootloaders? Thats not long at all...gotta give corporations time to get their ducks in a row.
For me and a VAST majority of owners of this device.....its great and doesn't really need anything that's urgent or absolutely necessary....
Oh....the OP should add one more poll question..... Is everything great with your device? My answer would be yes!
Htc has already "leaked" an update for their unbranded sensations...

IDK how to edit the questions..I tried...but i dont see a way to edit my posting other than what I typed.
Have you seen the reviews on tmobile.com? This phone has 5 STARS. There's 2 reviews that have 1 star. Probably from an apple fanboy who created accounts to spam.
I picked up my Sensation today, and the only thing that bothers me is the dang voicemail icon that's always there. Other than that. This phone is pretty awesome, and T-Mobile's network speeds compared to what I was getting with Sprint makes me wonder how in the world I stayed with Sprint so long.

Yeah. I don't understand why we all can't get along. We all have the same passion for the same devices. I guess newbies ARE annoying..I can agree on that. But flaming for no reason is so rude and nonproductive.
So far I'm quite happy with my Sensation. Best device I've had and I've had quite a few. However, it does seem that the Sensation is being pushed aside. At Bestbuy today there were plenty of accessories for the 3D including the Otterbox cases but absolutely nothing for the Sensation. Why? I'm not sure but its becoming rather annoying as this seems to be the case everywhere so far.

Those cases were pulled. They HAVE TO have the holes in them...So they got pulled because they didnt fit properly and they were blocking some signals for some users.
IDK when they're coming back though.

Can't be true. 1930mAh was bad and this is same outlook, just bigger numbers... I had the 1930mAh for few days and it was bad... Pretty close to stock but still worse than stock.
Please PM me if your sensation has been cut off by your service provider. i need to run a test. this is safe and trust me you'll be VERY pleased.
Many Thanks.
this Will be VERY MUCH worth the 1minute it will take.

Are you sure that is not what you are doing? Because you had a thread yesterday about how you can show anyone how to change any phone's imei number.
And when you are looking for network blocked phones to do testing on a day later you have to admit it seems a tad suspicious.
