I believe it depends on the supplier you're gonna get it from.

For example? Can you expand on your answer please?
There are two versions of the Sensation.
The Z710a and the Z710e. Make sure you are getting the one that you need.
I see, not sure where i should look to now... I use giffgaff which runs on the 02 lines in the Uk, so I need to find out what model is compatible with their lines, right?
If you buy it from an individual store, it would work anywere, but if you buy it from T-Mobile, it will work for only T-Mobile SIM cards unless you get the unlock code from them.
My Sensation was from Saudi Arabia, from a normal store, and it worked in Egypt without any problems.

HTC Sensation vs HTC Sensation 4G
The 4G mobile doesn't seem to support the real 4G talking about the internal radio. Look at the frequencies, they are almost the same just an extra one which is only available in Canada (as mentioned in GSM Arena). I believe the internet speed is almost the same on both phones.
The real difference to me seems to be in the Internal Storage, which is 4gb in Sensation 4g (Z710a) and only 1gb in the first Sensation (Z710e).
Good luck with your search xD
Edit2: AT&T and T-Mobile consider HSPA+ as 4G which obviously is supported by Sensation 4G. Now I'm confused hahah

No. They both have 4GB with only 1GB usable.

every now and then i see people saying "this rom is compatible with the sensation and sensation 4g" do is there really two different sensations and if there is, could someone put a pic of both of them in the comments cause i dont undersatnd the difference
They are the same thing.
I think it just means that if you have a T-Mobile 4g that you will get the wifi calling and other T-Mobile specific apps. And if the rom detects that you don't then it won't install those apps. But I'm not sure.

International Sensation vs T-Mobile US Sensation 4G. US version has different radio that operates on the "4G" band that T-Mobile uses. Not really any hardware difference other than an additional antenna for TMOUS. Some ROMs may only have support for the international version, others may only support US version. Most ROMs support both though.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
All roms work on either phone but tmous stock roms have extra apps which are network specific like wifi calling. If anything it's only a users choice of radio that makes any meaningful difference to compatibility.

I have a Sensation Z710a bought new from Telstra Australia.
I have rooted the phone, S-off and installed Coredroid 2.5
All is working well. One unexpected advantage I have found is that my phone is now 4G compatible.
I found that when I download from the Android market, it uses the 4G network.
It also now shows my phone as a Z710e.
Telstra web site says that 4G is only avalible to USB devices, NOT phones as the HTC 4G has not been released in Australia. I rang Telstra and they confirmed this.
(Q) does changing ROM allow 4G to work? Or is it something to do with rooting the phone?
Do I have Australia's only 4G phone?
The Rom you installed is most likely to be US based, so H icon has been replaced with 4g.

Thanks Tinky1, I had seen the H icon and didn't know what it was.
But, there is not supposed to be any phones available in Australia that use 4G.

Don't live in the US but don't Verizon use LTE and CDMA and T-Mobile USA use HSPA + which is GSM?
So I assume the actual hardware would be different which means you couldn't just flash the Sensation to Verizon?
Jar curious because I'm getting one for free
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I have not heard of a CDMA Sensation, so my answer on this question would be a no, as the Sensation is traditionally a GSM device.
No. Not possible at all.

I have an HTC Thunderbolt which has a SIM card for verizon 4g LTE and I have a sensation 4g (t-mobile) i got used for a steal and I can put my sim card in the sensation. the previous posts dont help me because Im a noob and am confused
Please help
Doesn't matter if you can put the sim card from Verizon into the Sensation, it's not going to work. The Sensation does not use LTE, so an LTE sim isn't going to work.
ok, thank you. Can I unlock it or will it still not work?

Hi!
Im planning on buying a Sensation and because I come from a Inspire, I want to be able to Flash a lot of roms ... but I see that there are 3 models....
Sensation Z710E, I think that this is the T-Mobile version
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation.html#.T2w2UTEge8E
then the Sensation Z710A international?
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710a-sensation-850-1900-3g.html#.T2w3PTEge8E
And obviously Sensation XE Z715e
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-xe-unlocked-white.html#.T2w3bjEge8E
I really really want the XE but are all the ROMS compatible with all the models, or the ones for Z710e(a) will not fit in the XE?
Thanks in advance!!
Most of the ROMs you will find here are XE based. They are usable for all Sensations.
Sensation and Sensation XE have the same hardware. There are only differences in the stock software (i.e. XE has audio beats).
Edit: You don't want to use a Z710e(a) based ROM if you can get a XE one
HTC Roms
Hey man. You can put your phone into SuperCID and get any firmware you want.
xl VipeR lx has made a very nice tutorial on how to get superCID.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Please note, you need a rooted phone with S-OFF in order to update your Baseband.
Oh well thak you very much to both of you, now I know that I'll have plenty of Roms to flash.
As soon as the htc one line of phones come out, I expect that the prices for the sensation xe go down... That's when I'll buy the Xe.

If it's for an esthetic matter I'd go for XE, but on any other cases go for a normal sensation! You can flash an XE Rom on your sensation and have a full XE without paying the difference Just did it myself and it works great, Sensation (no XE) with Beats audio
who can tell me were to look to see what one i got i know its tmob but dont make it one vs other i know its not xe

Hey, does anyone know the CID num for HTC-Z710a?
Can't get mine ...thanks
(boot looped and windows won't recognize my device)
Z710e is the International + T-MoUS version. (1700/2100/AWS)
Z710A is can run 3G on 850
Z715e is audio beats. This one is bascially the Z710e but with cosmetic differences and it runs 1.5GHz out of the box rather than the 1.2GHz on the Z710e.
can i flash the stock rom for sensation on sensation 4g after s-off and root since the sensation 4g does not have the sim tool kit.
it also depends on your Rom. My device device went from the 4G to the Z710E after flashing my ROM, so ROMS will also change it too, like from 4g to xe, to z710e. Depending on the ROM. I've noticed this.

Sensation Xe in Brazil
Friends. I'm from Brazil, would like to acquire more Sensation xe saw you commenting on differences of sensations, and that is only the rom. I was watching both use a processor Qualcomm MSM 8260 Snapdragon dual-core processor, Adreno 220 GPU. Only the processor runs at 1.5 Ghz Xe and 710 Sensation works at 1.2 Ghz, this difference is determined via hardware or software? And here in Brazil 3g carriers operate at frequencies 850/1900/2100 Mhz, and sensations working in 900/2100 Mhz frequencies would change the working of sensation to work 100% in Brazil? Sorry my english, I'm using online translator. Hugs and thank you for your attention.

Unless your going to buy the XE just to get the beats earphones, I would save yourself the money and get the normal sensation. I have explained in detail to someone yesterday about the differences in both hardware and software of Sensation and XE so I'm not reposting it here but if you browse through my post history then you should find it.

difference is caused by a line of code in the kernel that detects if the model id is = PG5813001 and if it is then the max_speed is 1.5GHz else 1.2GHz. However this can be overcome by using a custom kernel (bricked, faux, sebastian etc etc).
I bought a T-mo HTC sensation 4g which i believe is the same as the z710e, it's unlocked and rooted. I use the at&t prepaid unlimited talk,text, and data plan. After trying about 100 different at&t apns, i can get the mms to work and send pics thru texts but still can't get the internet to work, unless i use wifi.I read about flashing to another rom and and if i understand correctly that also changes the bandwith, would that allow my phone to connect for the internet if i do that?

hii folks , soon i am going to buy Htc Sensation . but i found two different models
HTC SENSATION
HTC SENSATION 4G
Is there is any difference between two ?
Can i use GSM network on 4G ?
Can i install custom roms which are made for Sensation on Sensation 4G ?
Same Questions for Sensation and Sensation Xe
I believe that the 4G is more or less the US model of the standard Sensation.
Sensation vs XE do have different processors:
1.2GHz Dual-core vs 1.5GHz Dual-core
and different size internal memory:
1GB vs 4GB

the sensation 4G is of US tmobile one...it is same as normal sensation except for extra antenna to support the t-mobile 4G speeds ..if you want to use it in india..doesnt matter what you got..as at the end we have only 3G
rgarding GSM network each model works fine ...no probs at all
as for Xe...except for the mesh being red..and beats logo on back..its the same as sensation but with overpiriced/hyped beats ear phones...the earphones are good but they are completely over priced
the software which supports beats audio in XE ...has already been ported to sensation via custom roms
EDIT: as for speed sensation XE processors are clocked to 1.5 GHZ and even though sensation processors are same they are underclocked to 1.2GHZ ...but you can over clock your processor using custom RMS/kernels
Also sensation XE got better battery than sensation
you can flash any custom rom made for sensation XE on sensation(4G too) and vice versa
thanku very much Prototypen and Ganeshp

Actually, I remember reading here that some people found a document or something that claimed that the fourth antenna on the Sensation 4G is for A-GPS. I can confirm this because I purchased a white Sensation XE case that lacks the fourth antenna and have zero speed issues. I have noticed slightly slower GPS locks, but only by a few seconds.
