Sensation or DHD????

Ok I just got the Sensation and already own a DHD I am torn as to which one to keep. I love the Sensation but noticed the battery gets very hot compared to the DHD . I have read the forum and there is no solution to the hot battery yet.. So now I am torn between keeping the Sensation or the DHD. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

The sensation is dual core. Every dual core device gets a little bit warmer then single core devices.
If your hands are to soft to deal with it, change it back. ;-)
Btw. under normal use my sensation doesn't get really hot?!

I was playing a game on it when I noticed it. Did you get a different battery for yours? How do you like it so far?

In games that's a absolute normal behavior.
I ordered the chichitec 1900mah but it's not there yet.

Yes games will make it much hotter than under normal use because of the fact that they use much more power. As for battery life it is worse than most single core phone because of the fact that you have more to power. The ability to flash custom roms to the device will enable much more optimized roms. This will "hopefully" make batteries drain slower. Also if you look in the accessories section you will see a lot of suggestions on different batteries.

I had a Desire HD since release date and it was a great phone (best i've ever had) but then i won a Sensation from HTC Australia, so i thought i might as well use the newer phone and sell the DHD (which i've gotta do soon).
After using my Sensation for about 2 weeks , i'd have to say it is definitely a better phone. It's faster, has a brighter (& higher res) screen, the batter has been lasting longer and feels better in my hands. Although the DHD is still an awesome phone with heaps of great feature.
If i was you i'd keep the Sensation and sell the DHD. Unless you need the extra money then sell the Sensation & keep your DHD

Thanks I will take a read through.

The Desire HD is still a capable and modern phone. If you have any issues with the Sensation then I would say return it. You can always get it again later on (or get any other, newer phone to come out in that time). You might even be able to score a better price if you purchase it later. So, again, if you have an issue with the Sensation now, then return it and buy it again later, especially when development matures a bit.
If you can't return your Sensation and have to sell it as used instead, then I say just keep the Sensation.

Thanks the sensation is actually brand new just got it unlocked and played a game on it to check the battery heating issue issue I was reading on it.

Get the Anker 1900 mAh battery for sensation from ebay for $10 and it doesn't get hot like the htc battery.

Ok I've just realize watch way to much sci fi..... Looking at the thread title all I could think of was Sensation or Dial Home Device lol (Stargate reference).
Time for a break

Due to the fact that the Sensation is rootet there is no question. Generally it is better than the DHD apart from the "heat".
So you have a newer faster phone

Return or exchange defective sensation?

My sensation gets too hot, and it drains my battery. I even bought a new battery and still my phone runs way too hot.
With that said, has anybody had experience returning the phone to TMo for an exchange for a new sensation or even another phone (would like the TMo SGSII)?
I have insurance on the phone, i bought it when it came out this summer. Should be under warranty right?
Is it an easy process?

Try Android Revolution HD rom great battery life and if didn't like battery life in Android Revolution HD u can buy Anker battery 1900mAh 10 dollar

Take it back and ask for an exchange, there's obviously something wrong with it.

I have tried every ROM... it doesn't matter. I converted my phone back to S-on and i am going to return it.
I just was wondering how easy it is when dealing with Tmobile.

About to go in & place an order - my Anker seem to be draining a bit too much lately, plus the charger that came with the batteries broke - one of the connectors that charge the battery is mysteriously missing.......

Interesting I'll probably pick some off Ebay as they only come in a pack of two. Does checking I assume this will work with the Sensation XE as their all the same phone...

So did you guys end up trying the batteries? Did you like them? Because I'm not too happy with my anker

Been hearing these cause problems. I would recommend you just have two original battery and replace once one drains.

It would be nice if someone could report back on this?

This is great.
But i wonder if this battery is compatible with Sense 4.0 roms...?

any updates about this battery?

I would recommend a HTC evo 3d battery 1730mah vs sensations at 1520mah . I bought one a few weeks ago and have been very happy with it. And I know were it came from so I don't have to worry about it leaking or frying out my sensation. It won't last you three days between charges but should be good for full day.

How long have you used your Anker - what is the lifespan ? is it daily usage? stock ROM, overclocked? full display brightness?
thanks for the feedback.
I agree, ROMs have no issue with whatever battery you use on your phone.

I have used Anker for the past 3 months. Lifespan I don't know as of now but so far so good. I use it daily, I don't switch batteries. I'm running Virtuous Inquisition rom (great rom in my opinion), overclocked to 1.5 (comes with the rom), auto brightness. Anker isn't horrible! It last me an entire day with moderate usage. 7am- 9:30pm. Which is good. I'm just a hog and prefer longer lasting batteries such as this AceSoft battery. So I guess I'm just asking for too much. But definitely get Anker over stock battery. I'm probably going to buy AceSoft once when I get my paycheck next week and give it a shot since no one else is replying back with results.

I caved in, I'm getting this damn phone

I couldn't wait any longer, didn't want to wait for HTC's 2012 flagships, didn't want to wait for the official T-MoUS Galaxy Nexus, didn't want to wait for Huawei's Ascend P1 S, even if it is 6.69mm thin. I decided to go for this phone, I'll have it by the end of the week. So, of course, besides rooting it, murdering Sense and having some fun with Virtuous Inquisition, what else should I do? I need some ideas, because once I get the phone I'll pretty much forget everything I wanted to do.
So, what do you suggest?

Case and a screen protector?

While having virtuous inquisition, flash HTC music app, then Beats. stick witch the HTC camera app, it's way better then aosp one. Also, I recommend flashing SebastianFM 1.5 oc/UV kernel. System tuner pro also come in handy to set everything up. Don't forget to use 4ext recovery beta 8

Try out the hypersensation rom. ICS + our camera + zero compression makes for great photos.

If you're getting the normal sensation you have to buy a bigger battery. I bought the mugen htc evo 3d 1950 mah, and it works great!

Sad to say but first thing you should do is see how hot it gets while running GPS, just to make sure it wasn't a defective unit like mine. Then obviously root, recovery, and have a ton of fun

Sensation = good phone with very bad battery....

Battery isn't that bad but the Anker and Mugen ones are slightly better. I've come to accept that smart phones need to be charged every day. Anyone who claims their phone lasts 2-3 days actually means "luckily I have no friends so I never need to actually use my phone" or "I left my phone at work over the weekend and amazingly it still had 10% charge when I got back in on Monday".

+1. I have had 3 androids with 4" or bigger screen and the battery only lasts a day if you actually use the phone. Might just scrape 30 hours on my sensation which actually I think is a good battery life.

That's the 1st thing we should all do after buying Sensation. Ofcourse 1st u need to buy 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSDHC card. I have it, and it work great, and don't believe that 4 class cards are better, that's bull****. On 32GB I can store lot of porn, haha And with 10 class it's quite good to record own

Not as far as I'm concerned. I originally bought the Sensation cash, then a month later I qualified for a free hardware update from my carrier. I opted for the Galaxy Nexus 16Gb, but after using that it for another month I sold the GN and kept the Sensation.
Other Samsung models may be different from the GN, but if the GN is any indication, the Sensation is a very good choice.

I can guarantee u won't be disappointed with this phone bro. The qhd display is an awesome step up from the mt4g. Im running ARHD 4.03 with sense 3.6, oc kernel 1.7 and all I can say is damn lol..

Man,you should've waited for the Xperia S instead.I myself am selling the phone after 6 months of usage because of the mediocre screen and speakers.As fast as it is with ICS it's no use if you can't use it under sunlight and you can't hear it ring when it's in your pocket.

They're not that bad. There's just one undesirable thing is almost every single phone of theirs. The Galaxy S II has a freaking HDPI resolution, I mean qHD wouldn't have killed them. And T-Mobile's version is tainted with Snapdragon. The Mali 400 is awesome. The Galaxy Nexus is nice, but the camera... ugh. I wouldn't mind the 5MP, but the sensor is awful. There's noise all over the picture, and the ZSL seems more like a rushed photo than a good picture taken carefully and quickly.

Well, Class 10 cards are generally better for large files i.e. films while lower Class cards are better for normal phone usage.

Considering this phone does full 1080p recording, Class 4 doesn't seem sufficient. I don't take videos very often unless I am travelling, anyway, so even a Class 2 microSD would cut it.

1730mAh battery

Hi guys,
I ordered a Evo 3D battery with 1730mAh. This one works great with our Sensation. It is original HTC and costs 14€ at Amazon.de.
Battery life looks Nice. I will tell you more after a few loading and unloading cycles.
Have a nice day,
