Inspire 4G Vs Inspire

In England this month the HTC inspire is coming out, is there any differences between this and the 4G? Is it just the 4G that is gone? Will i be able to use all things on the developers forum without worrying that i will break the device? Thanks in advance guys!

Well *laughs* AT&T doesn't send 4G (HSPA+) through the Inspire 4G or the Atrix 4G. The only thing that you would need to watch out for is that most of the ROMs use AT&T radios so you would need to find a dev that will make radios for your carrier or you could just flash a radio that would work with your carrier and the ROM. That is how it works between the Bell Atrix and the AT&T Atrix.

Why would they release the inspire there? Dont they have the desire HD already? Its the same phone

I thought that because of the looks but the HD has a 1ghz single core vs 1.2 dual aswell as Bluetooth 3.0 vs 2.1 and has gingerbread with sense 3. I'd rather wait a few weeks and get the inspire. I would probably get the desire HD if there is problems with inspire and the inspire 4g roms.

Ummmm flashing a ROM in recovery won't change the radio. I've changed ROMs quite a few times and not once have I received a different radio and I'm NOT using the stock radio.

You sure the device will be called Inspire? From the specs you name and the release (dual core, in a few weeks) I could bet it's the Sensation / Pyramid pending how HTC / your carrier will name it on your side of the pond

Inspire 4g is just a desire HD without a front facing cam. You described the HTC sensation. Unless the euro name for the sensation is the inspire, in which case inspire 4g is different.

I don't know what the Inspire Roms containt but I know that Captivate Roms sometimes will have a different radio. Some of them with HSUPA.

Evo 3D Rom on sensation?

Could it be possible to use tr3devo roms on our sensation?
And be fully functional? Maybe?, just a thought, what does the forum, think?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I think putting a cdma rom on a gsm device is asking for trouble...and may possibly lead to a bricked device.

There's also unbranded ones, not just the one from Sprint otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to ask
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Why would you want that? Seeing that the stuff that actually differs from a Sensation ROM would all be dependent on the EVO 3D's hardware, it wouldn't be that much of an advantage.

Read, my question, again, is not something I want, its something I wondered, in order to nurture our flashing choices and development possibilities, choices, variety
Despite the 3d enhancement, evo and sensation share hardware similarities, imcluding gsm choises is not only cdma.

[Q] Sensation Z710a becomes Z710e

I have a Sensation Z710a bought new from Telstra Australia.
I have rooted the phone, S-off and installed Coredroid 2.5
All is working well. One unexpected advantage I have found is that my phone is now 4G compatible.
I found that when I download from the Android market, it uses the 4G network.
It also now shows my phone as a Z710e.
Telstra web site says that 4G is only avalible to USB devices, NOT phones as the HTC 4G has not been released in Australia. I rang Telstra and they confirmed this.
(Q) does changing ROM allow 4G to work? Or is it something to do with rooting the phone?
Do I have Australia's only 4G phone?

The Rom you installed is most likely to be US based, so H icon has been replaced with 4g.

Thanks Tinky1, I had seen the H icon and didn't know what it was.
But, there is not supposed to be any phones available in Australia that use 4G.

Sensation VS Amaze

I had an HTC Amaze for about a week and then my wife wanted a smart phone too so I sold it to buy two HTC sensations. The only problem I am having now is that my service where I work is a lot worse with the sensation. I don't know if it is just the phone I have or if it would be the same with any sensation. I found a cheaper HTC Amaze on a craigslist type site here in salt lake and I am thinking of buying it, but I wanted some of your opinions. Should I try to root my sensation and see if with a different radio I get better service or should I buy the HTC Amaze. I have rooted phones before but then I become a flashaholic and I spend too much time on my phone. I like the size of the Sensation but if I don't want to root again would the Amaze be worth the extra hundred I would have to spend over the price I can sale my Sensation for? Your opions and thoughts would be very helpfull.
Thanks
Eddy

Sorry I probably should have posted this in Q&A.

It's. Hard to say because I have nevee used an Amaze and I haven't hhave any issues with my Sensation reception either, someone that have used both might be able to give you their insight.
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

Try another radio, I've heard that can help if you have reception issues.
Personally, I would not change due to reception issues. You are not at work 24/7...

depends on what phone you like better, i think u miss your old amaze lol
youve got nothing to lose just rooting and flashing another radio really

I don't think sensation is better than Amaze. Everthing is the same but Amaze hasa much much better camera => thumb up

amaze has more ram as well

You need to make sure your RIL file matches the radio you are using.With a matched RIL i get HSDPA signal at hom, without it i barely get EDGE.
go to Settings>About Phone>More>Baseband version (radio)
Then get the matching RIL HERE

Well I think that sensation wins
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

The amaze has dual radios so it takes two connections at once resulting in a faster speed

i would have to say the amaze since i did experience some lag on the sensation when i had one.

T-Mobile only uses one hspa+ is still 3g. Only wimax and lte have two radios.

Wrong, on both points.
T-Mobile uses dual channel HSPA+, which is essentially 2 21mbps radios slapped together.
And wimax does need dual radios, but LTE only needs 2 on Verizon. On AT&T, it'll all in one radio.

I thought croandroid was an idiot until this post. It really is all about the dev community. Good call.

The Sensation has AMAZING dev support. Has some REALLY talented folks cooking and coding for it, and in general is a great device.
I own a Sensation and my wife owns an Amaze....
I have had LOTS of problems with my sensation though, I've been through 3 sensations through tmobile, and even sent one to HTC to have it looked at. Phone has never been right for me.
Tmo has just issued me a replacement, it will be here monday, they are sending me an Amaze, not nearly the dev support for that phone, but at least i'll be able to have a running phone and able to make calls.

I went through the same thing with my g2x. When it worked it worked great. I ended up swapping it for the gs2 and its amazing. My gf still has her g2x we got at the same time and it random reboots.

Combing two points is a dual cell. Which is one radio capable of dual channels. Other devices still get affected by the network. None of the other non lte or wimax devices improve non lte and wimax devices. Which are separate radios. Two radios slap together is still one radio.
I'm just wondering how at&t can put lte on one radio when a bigger company namely Verizon didn't do it either. T-Mobile is still using its aws frequency and at&t is using 850 and 1900 frequency. For its lte its using 700mhz. Just like Verizon.

[Q] Differences between Sensation Z710E, Z710A and Z715E regarding flashing ROMS [Q]

Hi!
Im planning on buying a Sensation and because I come from a Inspire, I want to be able to Flash a lot of roms ... but I see that there are 3 models....
Sensation Z710E, I think that this is the T-Mobile version
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation.html#.T2w2UTEge8E
then the Sensation Z710A international?
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710a-sensation-850-1900-3g.html#.T2w3PTEge8E
And obviously Sensation XE Z715e
https://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-xe-unlocked-white.html#.T2w3bjEge8E
I really really want the XE but are all the ROMS compatible with all the models, or the ones for Z710e(a) will not fit in the XE?
Thanks in advance!!

Most of the ROMs you will find here are XE based. They are usable for all Sensations.
Sensation and Sensation XE have the same hardware. There are only differences in the stock software (i.e. XE has audio beats).
Edit: You don't want to use a Z710e(a) based ROM if you can get a XE one

HTC Roms
Hey man. You can put your phone into SuperCID and get any firmware you want.
xl VipeR lx has made a very nice tutorial on how to get superCID.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Please note, you need a rooted phone with S-OFF in order to update your Baseband.

Oh well thak you very much to both of you, now I know that I'll have plenty of Roms to flash.
As soon as the htc one line of phones come out, I expect that the prices for the sensation xe go down... That's when I'll buy the Xe.

If it's for an esthetic matter I'd go for XE, but on any other cases go for a normal sensation! You can flash an XE Rom on your sensation and have a full XE without paying the difference Just did it myself and it works great, Sensation (no XE) with Beats audio

who can tell me were to look to see what one i got i know its tmob but dont make it one vs other i know its not xe

Hey, does anyone know the CID num for HTC-Z710a?
Can't get mine ...thanks
(boot looped and windows won't recognize my device)

Z710e is the International + T-MoUS version. (1700/2100/AWS)
Z710A is can run 3G on 850
Z715e is audio beats. This one is bascially the Z710e but with cosmetic differences and it runs 1.5GHz out of the box rather than the 1.2GHz on the Z710e.

can i flash the stock rom for sensation on sensation 4g after s-off and root since the sensation 4g does not have the sim tool kit.

it also depends on your Rom. My device device went from the 4G to the Z710E after flashing my ROM, so ROMS will also change it too, like from 4g to xe, to z710e. Depending on the ROM. I've noticed this.

Sensation Xe in Brazil
Friends. I'm from Brazil, would like to acquire more Sensation xe saw you commenting on differences of sensations, and that is only the rom. I was watching both use a processor Qualcomm MSM 8260 Snapdragon dual-core processor, Adreno 220 GPU. Only the processor runs at 1.5 Ghz Xe and 710 Sensation works at 1.2 Ghz, this difference is determined via hardware or software? And here in Brazil 3g carriers operate at frequencies 850/1900/2100 Mhz, and sensations working in 900/2100 Mhz frequencies would change the working of sensation to work 100% in Brazil? Sorry my english, I'm using online translator. Hugs and thank you for your attention.

Unless your going to buy the XE just to get the beats earphones, I would save yourself the money and get the normal sensation. I have explained in detail to someone yesterday about the differences in both hardware and software of Sensation and XE so I'm not reposting it here but if you browse through my post history then you should find it.

difference is caused by a line of code in the kernel that detects if the model id is = PG5813001 and if it is then the max_speed is 1.5GHz else 1.2GHz. However this can be overcome by using a custom kernel (bricked, faux, sebastian etc etc).

I bought a T-mo HTC sensation 4g which i believe is the same as the z710e, it's unlocked and rooted. I use the at&t prepaid unlimited talk,text, and data plan. After trying about 100 different at&t apns, i can get the mms to work and send pics thru texts but still can't get the internet to work, unless i use wifi.I read about flashing to another rom and and if i understand correctly that also changes the bandwith, would that allow my phone to connect for the internet if i do that?
