Are the ergonomics on the Sensation? - HTC Sensation

After having a lot of ergonomic issues when I had a GS2 for a little while, I was wondering if the Sensation was better in this respect as it's still a fairly large handset.

Depends on your hands though right? For someone like me who liked the Galaxy S series and felt the 3.7" phones are too small for portrait at least. (I can't type portrait on a iPhone). I suspect you'll have to go to a smaller phone :/

I have small hands and it feels fine. Thanks to the curved shape of the back it fits quite nicely into my hand.

I have fairly large hands I would say but no real issue when using the Arc, yet the GS2 I had a lot of issues with. What the screen ratio on the Sensation, is it 16:9?

Yes, 16:9. The phone itself is almost the same size as SGS 1. Not too big

The problem with the GS2 is it felt rather big & boxy, and overly wide.

You could go to a store and hold one just to get the actual feel of the phone.

I did that with the GS2 before I purchased one and the problems didn't emerge until I had been using for some little while.

I have medium sized hands and they're just fine.

Comparing them in the shop the Sensation is noticeable smaller than the GS2.

Actually the sensation is slightly bigger at the longest points but the curved edges create the
illusion of it being smaller.

I've held both and i have to say that the feel of the sensation is one of the things that made me choose it! Not only it feels like a more premium device, it has better ergonomics too! I've been using it for 3 months now! GS2 is a great phone but it could have had better build quality! Cheers!

I have long fingers, and it wasn't until I got my Sensation that I noticed how cramped my hands were around my Nexus one. I honestly think I could use an even larger phone...
But to answer your question, IMO the Sensation has a very good feel to it. Its very comfortable for me. I would recommend it to anyone.

When I compared the width of it & the GS2 to my Arc, I was disappointed to note that to the naked eye the Sensation seemed to have just as much extra width as the GS2.

The way the Sensation is shaped makes it feel smaller in the hand and gives you a lot better control over the phone.

Sexiest, best feeling phone I've ever held! Period!
So much so I find myself holding it sometimes even when it's off. I try not to caress it... but it's hard.

[Q] Do you own a HTC Sensation? Are you keeping it?

After owning my Sensation and hearing about all the issues on here. and having one or two myself. im having mixed feelings about keeping the sensation over my Desire HD. Anyone else feel the same way
Just wanted to really know how many people own a sensation now or keeping it or selling it off.
might help me make a decision. or see how other people feel.
After all it is potentially £450 ($600) daily part of our life
Hell Yeah im keeping it :-D! I like it better than my Desire HD and still on stock rom. Imagine the joy when it gets unlocked!

me too, i have noticed that my network signal is not far behind from my dhd. sometimes it sems better but majority of the time it is the same or 1-2 bars lower than my dhd. its easier to deathgrip the sensation.
but dhd does suffer from deathgrip too i tried it.
Also im thinking the problem may be cured a little either by HTC or if different radios are released and roms.
So far, im very pleased with mine. Great screen with realistic color reproduction and resolution, Sense is nice for stock and i really enjoy the shape of the curved glass. The phone feels slim in your hand because of it's palm friendly shape.
A winner

I must say I am keeping mine. the full price @ 648 isn't worth it but I'm a phone addict. This screen and sense 3.0 is beautiful. If you put your hand at the back of the phone to have the audio come up and it bounces off your hand then the speaker is loud but unfortunately it shoots out in the whole room and its low if you don't do that. The phone gets hot sometimes but not as much as the first day. It's was burning up. Beyond that, the memory isn't an issue!

I thought i'd never see a phone that felt better than the Nexus One. Then hearing it had a 4.3" screen, I thought it would be a behemoth like the HD7, the only other 4.3" phone i've owned. But it feels much smaller and natural to hold. And i've always been a fan of Sense.
Unless some bugs start showing up, this puppy's staying.
I've decided on the evo 3d. Bye bye sensation

[Q] Which 1 to buy ? SGS2 or Sensation

Hey guy im confused between two phones Sgs2 n Sensation
Sgs has some problems like Yellow tint , pink spot and some other issues plz can u guys help me in selecting the phone ? does sensation also have these kind of problems ??
Ummm ur asking in the sensation forum..... so opinions will be heavily biased . Optimus 2x user here. But I think galaxy s 2 is a better option. Sure the build quality isn't amazing, but the hardware will blow ur mind. Also, dev support is much better than what the first galaxy had, as cyanogenmod and aosp is making its way to it really fast whilst sensation is still bootloader locked. But I really like the build quality of HTC. I wish Samsung improved the shell of the galaxy series

As for the built quality, I think a lot of people forget that there is a reason behind why a phone is built with light materials....to keep the phone light as possible. The rear cover on the SGSII may look thin and cheap, but you know that it can flex from end-to-end without breaking right? There is a reason...
I've dropped my SGS4G so many times and it endured...it's far from cheap.
The bigger and heavier it is the harder it'll fall...

I have em both, and must say.... The battery life is much better on sgsII. The camera(with or without high quality fix) is way better, no lag (except wake up 1sec) on sgsII, easy root sgsII. Build quality is almost same, if you think about the weight. And most of all screen on the sgsII is way better in all aspects. And in direct sunlight it rocks in comperment to sensation, witch is almost impossible to see.
For the sensation, the sense 3.0 is GREEEEEAAAAT... Lockscreen sweet, dlna is better. Its better in hand. Software is better overall.

Same thing I was wondering. The SGS II comes out in Canada next Thursday and I'm still going to be within my 14 Day return period. Its been like 3 days and I already got that annoying "dust under the screen" issue. The phone is great, camera takes crisp pics and all and Sense 3.0 is beautiful no doubt, but there are things that I'm starting to question.

when using some apps that use the gpu and cpu, the phone gets very hot, but not so much that it's annoying or a deal breaker.

They are big. I personally think its much higher quality than the Sensation.. (Just because its aluminum doesnt make it a better build quality) infact i think that about Samsung compared to HTC anyways.. Sammy makes strong light devices.
Even with a lower resolution the Amoled + screens are far superior to the LCD screen HTC uses and the Note has an HD version of the AMOLED + Makes me really want one.

Yeah, it's very good. It just simply, works. No waiting for this or that to come out for it or waiting for some dev to fix something that apple should have fixed long before releasing only to have that one dev go buy a completely different device and forget about you.
Android has better hardware but piss poor work ethic from the manufacturers.
Apple has much nicer looking products with lesser hardware, but they make damn sure that your never notice the lesser hardware. This iPad 2 is fast! I am typing this on the on screen keyboard. Something that was a pain in the butt on my dads toshiba thrive.
Android needs to finish what they start. I got tired of waiting for others to make my android devices what they were advertised to be. I got tired of having to devote most of my time learning how to do something on a forum that was supposed to work straight out of the box.
I love my sensation, but not all the drama that I have gone through to get it to where it is today. A lot of buttkissing devs and being *****ed at for eta asking has pushed me closer to apple. If it weren't for tmobile having me by the balls, I'd have an iPhone. People will say to go get what you want, but that is so dillusional. We wind up stuck with what we have and then have to deal with the issues. I was disgusted to see the sensations early problems needing fixing and then watch Htc come out with four clones of the sensation each new month rather than fix and finish what they started. Finish what you start!

Samoled is amazing, better than Sensation screen but also takes up that much more power. Sensation screen is also great not take away from that. 5.3" is a bit much dont you think? I had the vibrant it felt bigger than our Sensation with its 4.0" . Also I didn't really appreciate the plastic but it was/is really sturdy. I don't anyone had their phone break. I also have to say if the Note's glass is anything like the Vibrant's then you will be happy. That screen is almost impossible to scratch. You could literally take a key to it without a screen protector. Wish our sensation glass was like that. And lastly, touchwiz isn't bad at all. Give it a chance, with all the modded twiz launchers and alternatives its a fun device. Also theirs a sense look alike launcher I used for a couple days on my vibrant. So all in all it comes down to preference. But I have to say one thing, Samsung sucks at updating android versions. We got froyo 2 months after gb came out. And its not about to change either.

Agreed.
One thing I do notice however .... the phone seems to be the benchmark the other manufacturers shoot for or want to beat.
Then there's the guys who like to say they have a better option then the Sensation.
It would seem this phone set a new standard.
This is a phone... That is a phone... They do pretty much the same thing. Why make so much of an effort for a bigger better screen with a juvenile u.i. Atleast wait for something like a quad core and impressive games/apps exclusive for the quad. I swear i dont see anything that the sensation does which the desire hd couldnt. IMHO, these frequent minor updates dont make much sense and also ruin the fun after updating to a much more capable phone which is just better at everything.

My dream phone will have a big screen with minimal bezels..

one of the main reasons I am keeping the sensation is that it has a big enough screen (4.3") and at the same time the phone itself isn't too big. I think the only other phone of similar size that has a 4.3" screen is the GS2.
who else here dreams of a 4.3-4.5" screen phone with minimal bezel? now that the 4 buttons could be replaced in ICS
That's too big. 3.8-4.0 is the sweet spot. The Defy almost had it right.

Yes, 4.3 is perfect for me. Been in love with that size since my HD2. My Defy is to small for me. I wish HTC would make a 4.3 inch waterproof phone.
4.3 is my sweet spot not to big, still light and fits into my pocket, and most of all with my ageing eyesight I don't struggle to read anything

You should check out a company called Liquipel (had a booth at CES 2012) that can waterproof anything by putting a nano coat over the phone. From what I understand it only costs like $60 to do a phone.
i remember my HD2 which i got at release... everyone was mocking me about how HUGE my phone was now its standard.
to be honest, 4.3 is perfect! everything above is to big to hold, anything under is to small/not optimal.
HTC needs to make thinner phones though... to thick in general. HTC Ville will be grate, but worried about Edge :/ (sensation could be thinner)
I think my last phone, the Incredible S was just about the right size at 4". At least it seemed right in comparison to my XE.
I find the sensation 4.3 screen just perfect, the screen is quite big, but it easily fits into my pockets. I dont like the s2, its kinda ugly lol.... i dont like how its so thin and plastiky. The sensation is thicker, which many people hate, but I adore >< Feels great to hold.
Sensation screen size and amaze screen size is perfect. 4.3, bunp up to 4.5, too big. Bump down to 4.0, too small

I have to agree I've was testing the Galaxy Note 2 last few days and whilst the display on that is an improvement over the SGS3 it was still Meh compared to the HOX.
Sure AMOLED has better contrast and blacks but SLCD2 is just sexy. Crisp text and sharp. Whites are better, colours are less over saturated, brighter, and my god SLCD3 is supposed to be even better!

I really can't tell the difference. I used my friends gs3 yesterday and it looked perfectly fine and usable to me.
I know we get better viewing angles but during normal browsing i'm fine with either.
I completely agree. My girlfriend has an S3 and the blue tint is incredibly noticeable to me. The One X has the best screen of any device I've ever owned, by far.
I'm not thrilled with HTC or at&t nowadays.
I'm considering switching to Sprint within the next week.
But all the mass marketing doesn't warm me to the SG3 either.
Sorry but the bawdy home button and ugly camera and sensor holes are butt ugly.
Lots of cheap feeling plastic, roundy corners, and Touchwiz - all with a bluish tint display that's horrible in sunlight?
No thanks.
SG3 has never been on my shopping list, and won't be.

Had a lot of time with both. I couldn't agree with you more.

Not to mention the fact that it gets hot when idling... Maybe it would be nice in the cold winter months ahead
After owning an iPhone for 4 years straight, I vowed to never purchase a phone with a physical home button again, and I will stick to it! Samsung dropped the ball with build quality on the SIII, anyone who argues in favor of it over a HOX simply hasn't had enough time with both devices.
