I did a search in the Sensation main forum for T-Mobile, and didn't find an answer. Please forgive me if I've missed it.
What are the differences between the EU model of the "Sensation" and the T-Mobile "Sensation 4G"? Hardware and such. Is there any real difference?
I had an HTC HD2. There was a forum for the EU model and one for the T-Mobile one for a while. Then they merged and rom developers specified in their threads if it applied to one but not the other. Looking over these forum and rom threads, I see no mention of T-Mobile's 4G being distinguished. Is there no need for this?
I read the guides about S-Off the Sensation, I'm assuming they apply fine to the 4G as well?
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
It's the same thing.
Thanks. And clicked the "Thank" button for you.
Has anybody heard any rumors that T-Mobile might get the black version of the HTC One S? It looks much better IMO and I'm tempted to wait rather than buy the gradient blue version right now.
Yes, several people have heard from T-Mobile reps that it is coming in June. That is subject to change, of course. My T-Mobile rep told me it is coming, but did not mention a date.

I just hope they were able to fix the chipping problem some people have experienced on the international version.

You do understand that T-Mobile exists outside US? There is a thread saying same thing and requesting people to keep that in mind to avoid confusion but people still keep posting assuming tombile is a US thing.

There is no T-Mobile branded HTC One S outside of the one carried by T-Mobile USA. When someone says the T-Mobile HTC One S, they obviously mean the T-Mobile USA version as the only other version of the phone is the international version (unbranded). I don't see how this could be confusing.
Next month, that is IF HTC can get their phones through customs!!!

The customs issue doesn't apply to the One S only the American One X variants.

I wish they'd release either the black or grey without the colored camera ring. ugly, in my opinion.

Did you see the the TMO shipped RUU _DE version here already?
What do you think it is for?
(For my T-Mobile Germany branded HTC ONE S maybe)
I don't mind the camera ring too much. I've got the Droid Incredible and it hasn't bothered me. I'd actually like to have a black HTC One S with the blue camera. That would be nice.

The T-Mobile USA phone actually has T-Mobile's logo on the front, not HTC's. It also has a different case with a separate piece on the bottom of the phone. It's a different model than the global version. That's what I meant. I should have said there are only two models, the T-Mobile USA model, and the International/EU model.

All HTC smart phones are included if they are running Android. T-Mobile just managed to get a bunch of One S's in the door before the date that the hold started; all new shipments are being held at customs.

Also I saw yesterday that Telus is selling what seems to be the T-mobile US One S without the T-mobile branding. In other words, the blue/gray version with the extra cover piece at the bottom. Unfortunately, doesn't look like they will have the black for a while.
It'll be coming some time in June.

What is that seperate piece on the bottom for? The Canadian versions (Bell/Telus/Virgin/Fido) have it too. I prefer the cleaner look of the international version.
It looks slightly off colour compared to the rest of the phone. Stood out like a sore thumb to me.
The red circle around the camera lens is lame

Are you referring to the black version? because that would be fantastic.
If I get the black international version will it work with t-mobile hspa+?

No. It lacks the 1700/2100 AWS band that T-Mobile USA uses for it's 3G/HSPA+ network. You would only get EDGE data.
Hi all,
I'm looking at getting either a One X or One XL, and one thing I'm not sure about with the latter is if ROMs for the AT&T "X" are usable on the international XL. The difference being the AT&T one has 16 GB and the international version (which AFIK Australia and SE Asia gets) has 32 GB.
I should also mention I'm new to ROMs as well - I never bothered with my previous Android phone, figuring I'd play around with that once I got a new one. Wouldn't want to brick the only phone I had.
Also, are stock ROMs from HTC available? Where would we find them? A local user (Singapore) has gotten his phone, and posted on a local tech forum that there's bloatware from all our local telcos on it, not just the one he was using. Figure I might want to ease myself into this by starting with a stock ROM.
Different phones. Please dont cross flash on your phone or you will have a brick. Choose your phone and look at the appropriate forum
I believe all S4 based One X's are compatible with the development going on in this forum.
The only phones compatible with these forums are the following:
AT&T One X
Rogers One XL
Telstra One XL
International One XL
You will probably see more AT&T RUUs here as that is what the majority of the users are using here.
And the ROMs work on any version, but Radios and APN (access point names) you may have to set up yourself (if the ROM says so)

Thanks. Does HTC make the stock RUU(?) available for their phones? I've been looking but haven't found it yet.
HI all,
I am currently using a one x and just discover my phone plan does support 4G and looking to buy a one xl to fully utilise that.
I am going to buy a 16GB version one XL in Hong Kong and it should be snapdragon S4 one. Just got a few questions.
1. Can I simply unlock the bootloader from HTCdev then flash a custom recovery, and get everything I want? Like custom roms, and of coz root. I know there's a sticky thread in development and it is somehow messed up with AT&T version and thus looks more complicated. (That's not anyone's fault but HTC and the carriers, I understand) Just want to have a quick check on this.
2. Did someone try to bring one XL to Japan? Did it work with b-mobile (ntt docomo?)? I brought my one x to Japan in May unfortunately b-mobile didn't like my phone
Obviously one xl has a different radio and chip to handle phone signal, this gives me a hope.
Cheers for any advice

1. Check which version of the One XL you will be getting. If it's similar to the AT&T version, you may have a hard time unlocking the bootloader. To my knowledge, it's only the North American AT&T version that is not able to be unlocked though HTCDev. The North American Rogers and Telus versions are able to be unlocked as is the Australian Telsra. I can only assume that the One XL's from Hong Kong are the same as the rest.
2. Look up the specs and make sure the 4G/LTE radio is compatible with NTT DoCoMo's bands. I think the One XL (all variants) have quad band GSM but not sure about the LTE bands. Japan is a sort of outcast when it comes to mobile bands as they use different bands that are usually not compatible with non-domestic phones.

Thanks for the reply.
Regarding the use in Japan, I checked the carrier does provide 2100 band and one x supported that as well, but for some reasons I was not able to register the network at that time, was using ARHD at that time not sure if that's anything wrong to do with that. One XL support 1800/2600 LTE looks like it does work with Japan band but it may just my "hope".
Anyway thanks for the reply again, appreciated.
I also bought my One XL from Hong Kong and mine is definitely not like the AT&T version. It's standard HTC issue
I used the One Click Root method to gain root, spoof cid to get unlocked bootloader through HTCdev, installed TWRP recovery and am now using ViperXL ROM.
Unless you're buying the phone from AT&T I don't think you'll get their version, you should be ok
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
kahei036, you said you were using ARHD, that rom does not work on the phone this forum is intended for. you have the other htc one x which doesn't support lte.
i would call the carrier to make sure the htc one xl you want to get will work on their network. also ask them why your tegra one x doesn't work. are your apns correct? maybe your using a radio that doesn't work well with your carrier?
I just received the HOX as a Christmas gift coming from the HTC sensation I know my way around the phone, I'm just curious if their are any specific things about this phone that are different and new in terms of functionality and hidden surprises? Happy holidays my fellow one x users!

One very important thing first. Please make sure you are aware if your phone is S4 (dual core, aka one xl) or Tegra 3 (quad core) before flashing anything. S4 is att/rogers/telstra (basically the forum you are in). Tegra 3 is the international version.
In the past, Canadians had what were referred to as international phones (gsm), but not with the one xl.
If you look around you will see that flashing the wrong firmware has been a serious problem.
Enjoy!

Att is gsm
I like the idea of a sim card. Down with Verizon! Lol
Kenny, if you flash anything for the other phone, there is a chance yours will never work again. Don't be a victim

Yes, I know. I was just saying that a with a lot of other phones gsm is considered an international phone.
For example, TMo had the G2, which was cdma, and the Desire Z was the "international" (gsm) model. So in the past, HTC has a history of just the two variants being categorized that way.

Hmm... As for hidden suprises, not knowing if your phone is the dual or quad core will really mess you up (as said above) lol.
The keyboard is kinda cool since you can swipe with it. That was new to me. It's also suprising how fast the phone is once you put jellybean sense on it.
Gotta use twrp instead of cwm.
Screen is kinda easy to break so don't drop your phone.

Concidering quad cores aren't supported on Canadas network, I know I have the duel core model, plus it says it on the box , as for the screen break, I really gotta go get me a case soon lol

Happy holidays.
As far as tips and tricks.
If you love Sense try VenomXL
If you love AOSP try JellyBam.
Those are the best tricked out roms with awesome performance.

I think you are getting some things mixed up. Tmobile's network has never, ever been CDMA. The major CDMA carriers in the US are Verizon and Sprint.
The G2 had WCDMA, which is in reference to it's data and not the voice network. WCDMA is also known as UMTS and is found on many GSM phones.
Point being, GSM does not suggest that the phone is international by any means. Also, the TMo G2 had a SIM card (of course, this was because it was a GSM phone).
G2 = GSM phone = US Version
Desire Z = GSM phone = International Version
Oh, also to clear up any other confusion, the HTC One XL on ATT/Rogers/Telstra as well as the international One X are all also GSM and all have SIM cards.

Ah, you are right. Thanks for clarifying. Sorry for the misinformation. My bad.
Edit: just deleted all that because I can summarize it in one or two sentences.
Some people have the misconception that gsm and international are interchangeable. I was only trying to address that, esp. Because its been a blurry issue for some Canadian users.

There's not much to be jelly about except the storage amount
More storage would be awesome though... I can only keep two or three backups with 16gb, because they're like 1-2 gb themselves... Anyway, to the OP, Otterbox is a great case, and CM10 is an awesome ROM.

one piece of advice, flash a jellybean rom as soon as possible, it kicks ICS's butt.
Do not upgrade to software 2.20. If you have AT&T and your software number is 1.85, stay there! This was my first mistake and now I have to flash boot.imgs manually.
