I'm really liking the new lockscreen as well as the new multi-tasking ui it has. Wish I could have been that lucky person that got that phone

I read on the cm7 thread that xda said it was fake.

Either way, that guy got lucky...or is one hell of a faker...the honeycomb multi-task and new lockscreen were very convincing

Our sensation should get it right? With Htc 18 month support policy, we should get it. Furthermore, ours is dual core. I did not see any problem to upgrade OTA interm of hardware n software wise should be no problem. Only time will told..

ics coming from htc means its gonna come with sense. they better make sense amazing otherwise i rather just wait till cm8

I kinda hope that video is fake. Idk it looks cool but I was kinda expecting more.

Afaik its fake because Google doesn't write Android version codenames in products

I doubt we get this in any update. We will more than likely have to rely on one of the custom ROMs here for this. Keep in mind, I haven't read anything about it either way, that is just my opinion.
it's uggly..sense 3.0 so much better
Dont like the unlock ring

There is one rom in the dev section with 3.5 included.

link please>?
Check out the latest CoreDroid rom
I.m running CoreDroid 2.3. They put together a sweet rom w/ (As the dev put) "Sense 3.5 Goodies".
In my opinion I think it looks pretty good with maybe the exception of the home screen rosie dock. not a fan, but I suppose a rom, or even a theme could fix it. It looks like its running pretty smoothly too! I likee
I got the inside word that its already been booted on the Desire HD looking forward to that
I am sceptical, don't see the about phone screen which tells you the sense version, wouldn't that be one of the first things you would show, even photoshoped to look authentic ;-).
I have seen moded phones already that look similar to this, that are sense 3.0
its been ported to htc desire HD!! if we wait a while im sure to see it on sense devices

Ice Cream Sandwich on the Sensation?

I saw googles video of Ice Cream Sandwich running on a Nexus S, I'm guessing this means our device will be more than capable to run it?

We will most likely get it, not sure when HTC will push it as they will need to have Sense on it. Custom ROMS will most likely be soon after release

I am new to HTC. Do they normally take a while before pushing major updates?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
You will probably get updates on XDA far faster than you would OTA. But just chill, it'll come. It's not like our phones can't handle it, and we have a handful of talented devs trying to get some beerz for their hard work.
As soon as the developers get their hands on the rom it will be ported to the sensation and many other phones shortly after. Relax and worry about more important things for now.
They have to honour the agreement with Google. Therefore yes, we will get all Android updates till like 2012..

The phone has to be kept up-to-date for 18 months after release. Google imposed this rule on manufacturers a while ago.

Google imposed that, AFTER the sensation was released. Not to say the sensation won't get it, but just stating..

Ics update

So I saw an article on tmonews stating htc will update the sensation and the amaze 4G in the beginning of 2012. what I wonder is how the hell they updating a device that came last like the amaze 4G and not the mytouch slide that came out way before? Smh yea it will get updated but not in the time it should. Watch us get an update really late on mid 2012.

It's all moot if you're rooted, really, cause we'll most likely see ICS well before that time!

I was on the fence regarding rooting for about a week. The phone was just boring after while. ICS will be nice to see when it makes it to us.

Yeah but here is the thing...what will HTC add with ICS...remember in all actuallity the OEM system is now Gingerbread but mysense added to it...your user expirience is the redheaded T-mo branded version of sense (which I hate compared to the real one) So is HTC going to release ICS with sense 3.5 or will it be like the phones released early next year with sense 4.0? So yeah while we will have probally Cyanogen 8 and maybe ICS AOSP I can't wait to see a ROM that is ICS with Sense....
I work for HTC. We haven't finished announcing what devices will receive ICS.

Well I seen a story posted on the web by AndroidCore about the HTC devices and the Doubleshot was not on it...but one question was since t-mobile branded it from HTC wonder if it would be up to T-mo....there should be no reason the doubleshot would get overlooked it is a new device now...
Well looks like it was front page here...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/
The decision is a combination of HTC and T-Mobile. More importantly, you should simply focus on the fact we aren't finished announcing devices that will receive the ICS upgrade.

New to sensation!

Just got the sensation to replace my LG G2x and first thing on the list of things to do is ROOT! I plan on following the stickie on this forum to do it so wish me luck! I switched from Verizon using a thunderbolt so I feel right back at home with this phone!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
welcome to the sensation "thing" lol. Atleast there are more people getting the sensation even though there are new phones coming out.
Welcome...i'm also new in here...
Good choice with htc sensation,you won't regret...belive me...cheers
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
yeah its a lot lighter than the Thunderbolt but its the same phone! I just love it! I haven't rooted yet and am freaking out. I always feel so overwhelmed when i look at the whole step by step process because i look at the whole picture instead of the little steps....AHHHHH
Welcome aboard, enjoy your great new device, and happy flashing!
Welcome dude!! Before u purchase senny, did u do all the research first and read xda? If yes, then good for you. If not, then dont feel regret later!! and please dont compare it to SGS2..thanks

Gotta ask - Why do you need to root? Have you even tried to use the phone as it is?
I always root my phones....just something I have always done.

Great phone! Until the GN is released which will replace my Sensation. Happy flashing!!!!

One more reason for root: it's YOUR phone. Welcome back home.
I run Android Revolution HD v 4.1.x
Sense 3.5 interface - If for no other reason, Root so you get Sense 3.5.
Cant get sense 3.5 on Sensation without Root (yet).
In my opinion, 3.5 is a big step up from v3.
Keep on rooting boys !!
Just got myself a sensation as well. Coming from a line of samsungs, most recently the sgs4g. Man there are so many options with this phone as compared to the sgs4g.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
many reasons for rooting: speed and awaken 3D and 2D gaming power!!
was really upset with stock sensation XE.
But ARHD ROM (Cool), Amaze Cam Mod, Bricked kernel 1.5r1 beta 1(fixed 3D & 2D issues and no freeze cam after applying Camfix) and ARHD Radio....
It's A Superior Master Piece!!!!
I don't mind stock I just loved my titanium back up and can't have it unless I'm rooted. Still haven't done it yet....still overwhelmed lol
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
lets just say, all the fun stuff happens when its rooted
I love amaze cam. And also titanium backup and Mybackup are reasons to root. i couldnt imagine a phone without my backups

This is ICS behaviour - it replaces the pop up that appeared when you long pressed in a text box component on earlier Android versions that allows you to configure your input method.
If you test and/or use alternative keyboards or other input methods that shortcut is a blessing imo... if you don't need them, it could be annoying but you get used to it almost immediately.
Ohhh...well why no blue battery bar....that's lame

That's the smallest thing htc had to do! A phone that comes out with a certain version of android will always be updated to the next one... The problem is when htc has to update the sensation to jellybean... Imo the sensation won't ever receive an official jellybean update unfortunately

So we're paying for updates now? God forbid we actually enjoy the phone, but screw that noise, can't enjoy a great phone if I know I've only gotten one major OS update.
Get real. Who cares? The phone launched with 2.3, you got an update that bumped it all the way to 4.0.3, I'd say that's plenty.
We will get Jellybean someday...that's why we have XDA!
No seriously but I have to admit, HTC have no quality control. HTC sense looks pretty, but slow as hell, even with tweaks.
Touchwiz 4 is so buttery smooth, even if it isn't as attractive it is efficient and when i payed for this phone back when both came out I expected some decent usability and speed.
Timescape UI is also so refined. My dads Xperia arc runs smoother on a single core on timescale compared to dual core powered sense. This was my first and last HTC device

Yeah the Sensation will never see an official Jelly bean in my opinion. But there really is no doubt that the Sensation will have ROMs with the next I would say two too three Android OS versions. It just has the hardware specs to be a device that will handle future OS updates.

You have a point, but I personally feel like the Sensation has the ability to continue to get every new Android versions like the HD2 does. The development community for this device is pretty outstanding in my opinion.
Oh and remember the Sensation, as well as all Android smartphones, got locked out of Android 3.0 as it was just for tablets. I mean Google did finally drop the source code on it when the released ICS. But with ICS being for both phones and tablets, I do not really see anyone making the effort to get 3.0 running on a phone now.
I don't see fully why not. I know for a fact it will be able to handle it because the desire c or whatever will definitely get it along with the one v and they are single cores. HTC brought ics to the desire s, why not jellybean to the sensation?
