Amen. Desire HD FTW.
i think galaxy is better than htc hd. but samsung should really work hard on their upgrade and other bugs.
HTC Leo
Is it´s capable of boot Android and WM
If only Android I would choose Desire Z
It's your own opinion realy ...
But yeah Desire HD ftw
I would also say the Desire HD.

Have to agree,
(very) Large screen, capable of running
WM6.5,
Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4 (sort of),
WP7,
MeeGo and
Ubuntu.
Now who can beet this....
only downside is the lack of RAM on EU model..
I believe that you should ask yourself two questions.
1- how much money I'm welling to spend.
2 - wich characteristics must the phone have.
And then pick a phone from the available ones

For me Personally, I absolutely HAVE to have wifi calling on my phone due to the crappy signal I get in my house, 2 doors up or down I get 5 bars and full 4g, but in the house I barely get edge and get 1 bar that comes and goes. With that being said T-mobile is the only one that makes wifi calling on some of their newer android phones. I presently own the Mytouch 4g witch I love, but If I have a bunch of cash I'd run out and buy the G2X, that looks really sweet.
Enjoying the HTC Incredible S, but I'm drooling over the Atrix and the new Charge from HTC
using lg optimus 2x with cm7
it's really fast
another vote for desire from me!
I would say anything BUT the LEO(HD2) if you do not want to change the OS. I've had the hd2 for a while and I truly despise the bugs in WinMo 6.5 ...the features are well intended but it just does not operate well after using it for a while. Android on the LEO/HD2 is fantastic though and the screen size is unbeatable.
The G2x, Nexus S are the best phone because they aren't skinned and offer and a pure Google experience. If you want a used phone then nexus 1 or the Motorola Droid for its keyboard.
Even though the HTC Desire is getting on a bit now, it's still looking good as news even though I use it heavily everyday. Running the Oxygen Mod so it's using one of the latest Android versions, Gingerbread (2.3).
There are a cool new Android phones around this year such as the LG Optimus 2X since it's dual core. The Sony Xpheria Play looks interesting too since it's designed for gaming.
I can see why but I think the Galaxy S is SOO undervalued it's not true.
With 4 inch Voodoo Color, you get best screen for now with tweaks. Obviously, without voodoo color, the SGS II 4.3 with Super Amoled Plus would win the game.
As far as SQ is concerned, again, Galaxy S with Voodoo sound, Galaxy tuner/DSP manager and powerAMP, it's up there with Sony and Cowon DACs which in my opinion as an audiophile, it absolutely great since I don't like carrying two devices.
Adding onto this, the ROM devs with CM7, MIUI AND sense as well as optimized Samsung ROMs which have NO lag at all, the only flaw in my SGS is the build quality. Actually, quality isn't so bad, it just feels cheap because it's too light which in this case is a bad thing.
Oh btw, codec support is amazing and I may be wrong but is one of the best in terms of codec support as well.
Come on people, SGS all the way if you want all round phone (Or Nexus S cuz it's basically the same now.)
Galaxy s II
HTC Inspire 4G FTW!!!!
The G2X or Nexus S are good to go...or a used phone like the Nexus One (Android Development phone).
HTC sensation vs. SAMSUNG Galaxy S2
imagine htc sensation without clock and weather widget,
and weather effects in home screen?? so, what is htc sensation for?
haha
samsung galaxy s2, you can add weather and clock widgets,
but no weather effect...right? but samsung galaxy s2
is better screen and lcd..
...
but, these 2 smart phones are android os running...
iphone ios goodbye...hehe Freak.
anyone can help me? what is the best phone ? galaxy s2 or htc sensation...
help guys...
you can't really compare the two, you should either be comparing the Sensation and the Vibrant 4G or the S2 and the Amaze (pretty much the new Sensation)

But Sensation is a dual core phone, Vibrant or SGS4G are single core phones.
Oh, and yes, SII is better.
yes sll is better
choosing a phone..
Ive had an HD2 running NAND roms (cmylxgo,hyperdroid...) and really liked it. Touch screen went out (i ordered a new one to try and save it).
Just bought Galaxy s2 for wife and Sensation 4G for me-tmobile 14 day trial will allow me to exchange the one I like the least.
Heres the problem.
My rooted HD2 seemed FASTER internet, CLEARER video streaming, better BATTERY (Yes, I said it!) and overall better than Galaxy 2s and Sensation 4g!
**Is it possible that the rooted ROMS are that much better than the stock roms on the newer phones?
a post above also states the Amaze is probably the better choice than the Sensation anyway? True???
Ive got 9 days left!!!!!!! Am I crazy? or, once I remove all the clutter by rooting the new phones, they will crush all others???
I did not try any Samsung smartphone, but from my experience with HTC, I would say "If it is not broken don't change it", for me Sensation rocks.
I think that HTC is better)
for me i would get the htc sensation and not the samsung, i like sense more than touchwiz
GSII runs smoother stock than Sensation. Better screen, and much thinner and slicker
S2 for a smoother more efficient experience .
$1 gets you a reply
Easy answer. Wife keeps the gs2, I keep sensation 4g. We can switch in 6 months!

I've tested both, and I liked Sensation better. It may sound weird, but it was mostly because the S II seemed too light! It was very thin and light and because it was rectangular in shape, I found it difficult to hold in my hand (and I don't have small hands, I'm 6'3").

Totally agree, I've found that I just can't hold the SII in my hand in a confortable way because of his size and shappe. Sensation feels way better in my hand, and also is great phone.
Samsung has better screens but lower resolution. Id still go for samsung though cuz the screen does look awesome
Lets see. Sensation has a crappy speaker, slower than sgs2 (still the fastest in the market today), a volume rocker with shoddy build, no internal sd memory unlike the sgs2 which comes with 16gb or 32gb, crappier cameras and sense ui which runs slower and I have to unlock the bootloader to do stuff. Also sgs2 is unbrickable due to odin.
Hmmm what would I pick. Only htc and sense fans would pick the Sensation over the sgs2.

Or people with smaller hands like me
I have to agree in all of that, 'cause I switched from a SGS4G to the Sensation 4G and man, I miss AMOLED screens jaja.. But Sensation does pretty well too. I'm ok with it.
Sensation :-D
I chose Sensation, because compared to Samsung its' quality is superior. I mean, plastic may be cool for teenagers, but I prefer something more elegant. Well sure, SII is a little better tech-wise, but if I'd need a mobile game console, I'd buy PSP
small hands
I would have to say the SII - love mine - and nearly everyone puts a cover on their phone and by the time you do that the SII is the perfect size for bigger hands im 6,4 and find no problem with it - plus it looks dynamite
Hardware wise the Galaxy will be superior. But only in hardware. For reliability and software, the Sensation will be superior.

Hey guys. Greetings from the Vibrant community. Im eligible for an upgrade. Ive been lurking around here and the SGS II forums, trying to decide on a new phone. I know the SGS II is a beast, but havent seen any custom roms that just pop for me. Thats not a knock and the devs, I have a ton of respect for what they do. On the other hand there are several polished roms here. So are you guys still loving your Sensation's? Sensation or SGS II ?? Any input would be great? Thanks.
I think the Sensation is superior now.
QHD always over an aging 800x480 resoltion. Blacks are not that much better on the GS2 and would take QHD everytime. This is the main thing for me.
Faster processor
Better built
Resolution for me always wins. I don't need ultra black blacks on a mobile device, overrated difference anyway.
What are you using your phone for? What are your priorities?
Sensation fits mine the best. (screen resolution, audio quality, design, price - 100 EUR cheaper than GS2 here)
Yeah, I do love mine

Greg,
I just switched from Vibrant to Sensation and I love this phone a lot. The GPS works great unlike vibrant. There are lot of sense roms available. CM 7 is at alpha stage. Currently, I am on TMX rom which I really like a lot with great battery. I tried muiu but had few problems. Eventually, I will get on CM 7 when they are on nightly. I had CM 7 nightly on my vibrant unfortunately, I had problems with incoming calls which was due to hardware problem.
Honestly I use my phone to talk, text and surf the web. I dont watch movies or put music on it. The GPS on the vibrant wasnt an issue. I kept it off anyways. You guys are making me want a sensation! Thanks for the input guys. Nice to see its civil in here!
Tbh i owned two and i just sold my sensation because the sgs 2 was the sensation + more!
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Imo the cost difference isn't worth it for the sgsII over the sensation this is honestly just my transition phone till I get something worth upgrading too hopeful early next year! But I am disappointed with the slcd over samoled but... The higher resolution really is nice

you can probably get a used sensation for $250-260 off craigslist or ebay if you search well, $300 easy. an SII is going to cost at least $425. all things equal i'd probably pick the SII (as i'd prefer having an awesome camera and SAMOLED over moderately more high resolution screen), but only by a hair. with the difference in cost i chose the sensation and don't regret it

I prefer SGSII if the phone is not going to be modded. (e.g. S-off, root, custom rom, etc) cause the touchwiz is very nice. i like how SGSII looks and the functions inside.
Well Htc sensation is aniother choice for you if you're using the phone more in entertainment purpose. Beats audio included, 720p video recording, etc. and there's different kind of roms too, you can mod your phone in the way you want. Btw, I'm having a Htc sensation xe.
I'm a media head so actually the sensation works out for me. I wanted a SGS II but wound up getting my Sensation for free (business account) so I went the Sensation route.
Having it modded with Beats is nice, but I never use the HTC Music app (actually will be soon), I watch movies on it every so often (mostly because I got the 10 dollar credit on HTC watch for being a Tmo customer)
I surf the web, text, use GPS ALOT (I never turn it off), calls, emails, and more. Coming from a Moto Droid X2, I fell in love with QHD and felt the resolution on the SGS II was a downgrade.
The audio part is HUGE for me since I have the klispche ear buds they just released for Android Phones (Overrated when using the app for them, but the audio quality is GREAT)
So, I would say it is what you use it for. Me personally, my eyesight isn't great at seeing what the difference is color wise. So deeper blacks never existed for me. Battery life, build quality, and more are. I don't want to hold a phone and feel like I am holdiing a toy.
Lol, faster processor? They're the same.

Faster Processor? I was under the impression that the GSII's Exynos is the best in the business.
The T-Mobile sgs2 has a 1.5 Snapdragon. Exact same as the Amaze. Sensation has essentially the same but its underclocked to 1.2. Both are in the S3 line of snapdragons. I also believe both have the adreno 220 gpu.

Sensation appears to be the winning choice
Looks like I have a tough decision to make. The one thing that scares me is that I'm not familiar with rooting htc's or their recovery or s-off.

Then it sounds like a toss up tbh. But do you surf the net in landscape mode? Deathgrip can be really annoying if you're not right next to your router.
Cool thing about htc is once rooted and s-off, you can download and flash a new rom all from your phone. I believe you need a PC with samsungs.

Honestly I go where the cyanogenmod is. Seriously.
HTC phones always have the best rom support and GPS locks in seconds. Literally.
HTC quality control blows though. Dust under screen, light leaks, different screens, bad emmc chips, the list goes on.
All that said I currently have two HTC devices. Glacier and sensation and love them both. The g2x just didn't do it for me.

HTC rooting is easy once you're up to speed and fastboot is nice. But odin can and will be a lifesaver sooner or later, lol.
At the end of the day if you want to run cyanogenmod sooner rather than 6 months later than everyone else (ahem, vibrant!) then HTC is the only choice.

To the OP:
i got my sensation as a warranty exchange from the vibrant. just wondering why you are thinking of sensation or gs2, i would think you would be thinking the Amaze or the GS2...
if you are buying used it makes sense as the sensation would be cheaper, but if you are getting it for signing a new 2 yr contract, why are you contemplating the Sensation over the Amaze (which is updated and has more Ram)?
I'm looking for a good pre-paid smartphone that I can use my t-mobile 4G sim card in.any suggestions.I would like to stay around $100.00 if possible.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Are you getting rid of your sensation? For the price range you have I'd stick with the sensation. You will have a much lower quality device than the sensation in that price range. Why not wait a bit and add another hundred or so and you can get a good quality device. After coming from sensation I doubt you will be satisfied with something of lesser quality. Look possibly for used devices and see what deals you can get. I wish you the best.

Your best bet is going to be something like a samsung galaxy vibrant. It's a large step down but it does have a couple great jelly bean roms out for it that I've been using. If you're really lucky you might be able to pick up a LG G2x for close to that price on craigs list, but you'd have to get pretty lucky. I lucked out and got my sensation for $150 so you never know.
Like realsis says though you are going to be getting an inferior phone for that price, but you can get something usable and reliable. I keep my vibrant as a back up phone just in case I fubar my sensation so I know how you feel.
People say the Samsung Exhibit II can be had around that in the used market. I've never used one myself but a friend has one and likes it. I'm sure in the single core world, there's probably something better to be had for the money though.
Yes, the G2x would be a "good" choice if you can score one for that cheap. People hate on that phone for software issues. But its sibling might be getting ICS soon (I might be wrong), so it may be in its future unofficially as well. Problem is no nVidia drivers so no hardware acceleration for the roms now.
I would go for the HD2, thats a windows phone, but there is android for it (even JB) windowns phone 6.5, 7 and 7.5 and meego, or try the galaxy s, thats a good phone to!

Anything newer than a Hero really, You want it to have its own GPU and not just a CPU. Angry birds on the hero lags horribly and even facebook takes ages to load!
Let me describe my almost 1-year long experience with mentioned devices.
HD2 was the nicest phone to work with. No S-OFF's and ****. Just flashing hspl and bootloader from RUU and you are on fully unlocked android (one-time job). Everything else is fastboot and CWM. N1 roms just need a diff and they are ported to HD2 in no time. Only problem I had were hardware buttons. they get squashed after time and eventually they can damage display's ribbon cable or just stop working (about ~1.5 y and you get problems).
Galaxy series (or vibrant in US) is typical samsung-you will get tons of RIL issues due to poor baseband implementation. Missed calls. After time it also develops pink spot on camera, and gps shouldn't be on list of features at all-it bearly works on open field. Mic disorts and noone can hear you on the other end. Only thing good about it is the screen.
I also had SE Arc which is also cheap, but it's camera cannot focus closer than arm's lenght (macros are mission impossible) and it had same cheap feeling of S, but it's screen is in 2008 netbook range (no group watching of photos on this phone is possible) and resolution of 854x480 which confuses many apps. Plus it's hard to unlock without voiding warranty and speed is comparable to HD2.
I have got the Sensation a few days ago for 180 euro but it's by far the best used phone you can get on cheap. just sayin'. I S-OFFed with Juopunutbear and I'm unlocked without loosing warranty. S3 kicks even GN's ass (omap4) in terms of speed and gpu power.
Look on eBay. Some phones are still expensive (e.g. iPhone) but others are stupidly cheap (e.g. pre)

So money isn't a huge problem. My birthday is coming up next week and I can get a new phone...I want the galaxy note but i know asking for that expensive phone will cut into bigger gifts
I've seen the HTC Amaze, Samsung galaxy Blaze and the sensation on sale off and on throughout August and right now the Sensation is free on two year contract...
Is this a good buy?
i don't care about the latest and greatest with the processors and all that...I just want to know from Sensation owners
1. Is it a good buy and are you happy with your Sensation now in August 2012?
2. What is a good free texting App that allows texting through data? I heard Google voice is good but it does not allow MMS?
3. Should I hold out and see if maybe the Amaze or the Galaxy S Blaze will be back up for sales? I own a Nexus S 4g right now and I am not too fond of Samsung due to this crappy phone.
I missed the web only special for the Gs2 that was on sale for like 3 hours at midnight so I am not sure which to buy....
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
Micah!
In short, no.
The screen may be sharp but the viewing angles are bad and its colours are quite washed out. Also mine, like many other sensations, has loads of dust under the screen which makes it hard to use in sunlight.
The stock ROM that comes with the phone is full of crap and lets the sensation perform to around half its full potential - there is very good dev support however so u can flash a better rom if u so wish.
I know u said that u dont care about processors but u really should.. we are on the verge of a new processor architecture for android phones (A15) so tbh this is not a great time to buy any phone since it will be outdated in a few months time. At least go with something like snapdragon S4 though (found in htc one s) which is probably the best out atm - about equal with tegra 3. The sensation has snapdragon s3 which is now pretty outdated.
Also the stock battery is terrible in the sensation and u will probs find urself buying a 3rd party battery after a few months.
In my opinion go with an HTC One S... similar form factor but loads better. If u wanna spend less look at the galaxy s2.
Good texting app over data is whatsapp (u must of heard of it) its free on all smartphones.

Thank you for the feedback!
Yeah the ONE S is Free On contract as well(with a 50 buck rebate)....I am so mad I missed the sell for the Samsung Galaxy S2 on Contract!
So you recommend the ONE S? Would the Amaze be a better fit than the Sensation or are they on par with one another? I heard the Amaze has a beautiful camera
Same question
I haven't any dust or battery problem...
But it true that the stock ROM isn't very good...

IS this the same phone that when you press home button it will always go back to the white HTC screen?
Don't get one s(I have it..in short it sucks.) Don't get HTC. Get the Samsung galaxy 3. You won't regret it.
do you absolutely NEED a new phone? or can you hold out a bit longer?
reason being, HTC One X+ is coming to T-Mobile this fall/winter and its a beast

I love the Sensation, only problem I have with it is the speaker quality and the antennas are built into the back case. Also if you want faster download/upload speeds, the Sensation is capped at 14.4 Mbps while most other phones now are 42 Mbps
Here's my 2 cents.. I think, if you don't have much of a choice and you aren't able to get the one s. you should just go for it.. Buy the sensation, root it, get a good ROM. This phone, although it is 1 year + old already.. Is still pretty awesome.. If you love playing games, you need not worry as most if not all games on the play store works absolutely fine on the sensation.. Watching videos are awesome and very much clear. But the only downside to the sensation is as fredcorp above have said.. The battery is horrible.. Thus, it is likely you would need to spend an extra 30 dollars for new Anker battery..Thats about all you need. I used to own a SGSII but sold it to get my sensation. Not regretting.. Again this is only my opinion. To me, build quality matters.. The sensation has got it. In terms of community (development) people are alot more willingly to help on the sensation threads and there are a ****load of ROMs, MODs for you to try out. cheers~ do update us on what you got. Enjoy.
Get the sensation for now, then upgrade later. I've had no issues and enjoy my S4G!
No, I have one and it is a battle against lag. Get the S2, it is butter smooth with the Exynos processor. I love sense 4 and will get another HTC phone in the future for it. I recommend the international One X.

What is great about the Sensation is the Dev support. If you like running different roms the Sensation is the way to go. You can choose Sense 4, Sense 3.6, ASOP, AOKP, etc. it never gets old.

In all my electronic devices, the Sensation is the only one who performs better today then the day I bought it. Yep! It gets better every week. Loud speaker is very weak, but other then that I enjoy my phone and it is performing so well that I don't feel the need to update my device yet. I have 2 Sensations and 1 Amaze and I really prefer the Sensation in the end.
Development thread is huge and support is stellar.
The 2 years contract is certainly the turnoff of your deal, otherwise you will enjoy the phone.
Development : sensation
Stock and fast stock : amaze

Battery&camera
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
I've owned The Amaze, Sensation and the S2.
The amaze is fast when it's on stock and yes, the camera is amazing. If you don't mind having sense 3.6 and somewhat crappy battery life then go for the amaze
The s2 is also a great phone but the screen resolution is pure crap ! Yeah it has beautiful saturated colors but Everything is just so huge and pixelated And the screen does get scratches a lot easier than the sensation and the amaze . It does lag a lot with the new OTA ICS update. Although, rooting it makes it a great phone to own u can change the screen density so things won't be as huge and it does have a great development thread lots of great roms to flash. It also has a big battery. So it is a great phone, only if you root it and load a custom rom.
As for the sensation it is my DailyDriver. It has a Beautiful QHD screen that i love sure it's not no super amoled plus but it has better resolution wich is a + for me. The stock rom is ok. It does lagg here and there. But the development on this phone is great ! Lots of roms to flash. It shouldn't be long for us to get a stable jellybean rom. Battery life does kind of suck though.
Thats just my personal experience from owning these phones.
I would get the One S though, it's a amoled display with a qhd resolution wich looks great ! And it has a very very fast processor. Rooting it and loading a custom rom should make it a even better phone to own !
