Just a fun little poll. Nothing else really going on anyway since this hasn't been released on tmo yet . Do you keep your screen protector that comes with the phone on? take it off and have it naked? or go out and buy a good screen protector?
At the moment mine its makes. No one has a good protector yet. But tomorrow tmobile should have some

Same here, desire hd screen is still in good nick. Also i use my leather pouch that came with my HD2 two years ago , sold the phone but kept the pouch, i knew it would come in handy one day and the sensation fits in it so nicely.
This phone is so beautiful, it'd be a shame to cover it in screen protectors or cases
i still have the stock protector on..lol. waiting for tmo to have theres
bought the HTC one from tmobile and it is fantastic,can't even tell it's on
I have the HTC protector from T-Mobile. Pain in the butt to put on and work out the bubbles. Looks ok, but scratches easily. Oh well, better it than the screen.

Is a screen protector even necessary?
I was at the T-Mobile store last week, looking at a G2X. I've been shopping there for years, and the manager knows I root and everything, and that I want the best phones when they're out. He also knows I'm hard on my phones, so he demonstrates the G2X's gorilla glass by bashing his keys into it. Nothing happens. He smashes the keys into the screen of the phone, beats the hell out of it, digs them in, everything, and nothing, not a scratch. Then, he latter goes "ooh, ooh, let me show you this cool phone we have in back" and he pulls a Sensation out of the back. I instantly fall in love. Thing is, I really am hard on the phones, and the gorilla glass would be a great benefit for me, as I've broken a few screen before now. I asked him if it had gorilla glass as well, he said he didn't know.
So, I went home, and looked online, and everywhere I go it says it does have gorilla glass.
My question is, after that long rambling rant, if these phones really do have gorilla glass, why bother with a screen protector?

I guess it's the extra care you want to put into the phone. I personally don't want to put a screen protector on but I have been placing them on my phones for the past 4 years. I don't want to take any chances lol
gorilla glass/sensational screen
while i think the GG definitely provides added protection, i would never advise being reckless like that. the one thing i did want to say which i havent seen anyone post yet was how clean the screen stays. i have had the phone since 6/12 and havent used a micro cloth once. while using outside i definitely noticed some streaks due to warmer temps and sweatier fingers, but they literally have disappeared. has anyone else noticed this? incredible self cleansing screen or dumb luck? ill take it as an added bonus. the phones getting better every day.
But if it has gorilla glass, you really aren't taking any chances. Have you seen this stuff?
I just bough some screen protectors and a case for my phone from T-Mobile .

I'm using incredible S screen protector at the moment. A little bit bubble on the curve side up and down the screen. But it fit well and i'm cool with it temporary

I'm going up to t mobile later to see if they have some cases. For those who have it naked: you guys are able to use swype with ease? I find it alot easier with a protector on. And I hate smudges and fingerprints and what not.

Well I bought that with the screen protectors and they gave 20% off both things. It was 16.99 before the discount and 13.59 after. Its pretty nice though.

My sensation has a wifi bug where if I turn it sideways, wifi completely turns off. Can I return it to tmobile if I bought it from walmart? And if not, do I have to go back to ths specific walmart I bought it from for an exchange? Or can I go to any one?

1. Coming from my mytouch 4g running sense 3.0 the sensation is a bit more laggy
2. Data has random dropped out issues
3. Wifi has terrible drops in and out
4. Screen does not seem as durable as my preivous HTC devices had it for 20 hours been babying it and has a scratch
5.battery life is horrible but that is to be expected
I have owned all HTC since g2 and never have I had this many issues thinking of returning it to t-mo and getting my money back any idea's

What did you take a diamond across the screen? The thing is Gorilla Glass and it's doubtful you were babying the screen and got a scratch.
Never had those problems
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Working great!
I can say after owning it for only 24 hours so far it is a blast. I haven't had any problems. There was one instance where the data stalled, but it hasn't lagged or reboot, or even heat up since I have had it on. Been running great for me!
My sensation runs great lol glad I didn't get a dud get a replacement and if that don't work maybe u just expecting something that this phone can't give you goodluck but ill send back asap if I was you

It only takes one grain of sand ( quartz ) in your pocket to scratch it. More of an unlucky thing than a failure of the gorilla glass .
None of those problems here.
Wifi calling works great.
I like Sense UI except for a few small things like accuweather db bull****
Browsing is nice and fast.
Trying to figure out how to get the stock car home to install.
My power button is too loose and will sit crooked sometimes. If I can get them to send me a replacement before receiving this one I may change it out.
I think ill take the advice and exchange I'm in a 4g area with full bars and it took like 3 mins to log onto xda. Thank u all for your comments

The data lag that you're referring to is an issue. Exchanging your phone will not resolve it. I found a fix (at least it works for the most part) that I posted in the developer section. As for the other problems you named, I'm not having any of those issues.
Got a Problem with watching divx movies... After a few minutes sound is gone ... This is my second sensation with the same problem can anyone help me?
After killing video player and start again sound works but turns off again after some time
Yo you saying that is wierd because my first sensation came from Walmart and it had every bug imaginable, got one from tmobile yesterday and its running like Bugati!!! Walmart be running some shady business tactics. $148.88 is in place for a reason. Real talk.

I thought I was the only person that had the crocked power button. Everything else is fine except the speaker rattles when playing music loud and with bass and that's pretty much and it heats up when charging and using it.

I had the exact opposite happen, I'd recommend Walmart over Tmobile. Why would you want to pay the full retail price tax instead of the Walmart price of 148.00? just sayin...

I despise walmart but I found humor in what you wrote. So you're saying that Walmart opens the devices and fudges them up, then sends them out "all whack yo"? You don't think it's more likely that it was just a bad device? The real reason why wally world can sell them so cheap is because it's bait to get you inside the store. Once inside, you're likely to do your shopping there and hence Walmart turns a profit. Most of these other retailers sell it at almost cost and make their money on screen protectors, and cases.
According to tmonews, starting 7/4 TMo will be offering a 50% off accessories coupon via their facebook page. Just print and take to a tmo store. For those that prefer instant gratification in exchange for paying a couple extra bucks, this offer is a great deal.

Slim pickens at 2 stores, only have the Body Glove case. So I'm waiting on them to get more...
Don't dare waste this on a $30 case... get a bluetooth headset or something else big ticket!!! If I pick up the new Jawbone headset for $60 I could easily sell it on ebay for $100 in my paypal. How many cases could you buy with that?
I just returned home with the docking station for my G-Slate. I would never have purchased it for $70 but couldn't pass on it for $35. I saw a Sensation case there that is also a 1500mah Battery. It seemed pretty nice, even if thick, so it might be worth taking a look for some of you. Mine lasts too long to justify the battery at this point but I'll go back if I change my mind.

Have a tmous sensation. When i put my hand on the top of phone i can cut wifi off completly!!!! When i type on its side my left hand stops wifi because its really the top. This wouldnt be so bad if it didnt do it while typing. Do you think i should return this phone and get them to give me a new one or will the new one probably do the same thing? If i do get a new one will they know if im rooted with s-off. Do they even care when its a hardware issue that was out the box? Really love this phone besides this one issue. Ive tried to deal with it but find that its bugging me a little more each day.

Join the club buddy. It was a pain at first but I just started holding the phone differently in landscape. It's a big phone so there is space for adjustment.
If you have a direct line of sight to the router however, this won't be a problem at all.
Me personally, i wouldn't waste my time with a replacement.

I just got 2 small questions. Couldn't find any topics about it in the forum.
I cracked my screen of my sensation. The LCD is fine but the digitizer is totally broke.
The local telephone repairman asked 180 euro's for it. He said he won't be able to just replace the digitizer but that he had to replace the lcd too. I found that a bit strange since I can buy a single digitizer for 60 euros online. I'm quite handy with stuff so I could do it myself.
Today I called HTC in the Netherlands to ask what they would ask for it. They said they couldn't give me a price for the repair.
Do any of you know how much it will cost, or at least give me a close indication? Preferably a dutch person because prices may be different in other countries.
And what do you suggest I choose?
Thanks in advance guys!

Did it crack by it self? Or due to fall? If it was not your mistake, why not ask for warranty?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
It fell when I was taking it out of my pocket when biking to school. So I don't think warranty will help here
Why not just say you dropped it in your house? kitchen floor maybe?
In the UK you could claim accidental damage from household insurance and you'd just have to pay your excess, typically £50
Not that I am advocating such action (telling lies) but it has worked for me in the past ;P
Doesn't work that easily here. You got an idea about the price HTC would ask for replacing the digitizer?
