So with all the new shiny duel core phones that have just come out, I was wondering how many of you are planning to junk your mt4g and upgrade, or are you content? Personally I have no reason to upgrade just yet. A rooted mt4g with aosp runs so smooth and the battery lasts so long I couldn't imagine switching. Plus with all the new sense roms out there, it just doesn't seem like I have a good enough reson yet. So I'm just curious!
I want the nexus prime(galaxy nexus for everyone else). Never owned a nexus phone,really want to try it out
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
I tried to upgrade with trade up with t mobile they wanted 170
with my phone to get an sensation blaspheme !

Yea i can tell your determine it would be nice to have that phone or any decent phone with a dual core processor

Yea the nexus prime is the one phone that seems tempting to me. IV never used a nexus either just because I have always loved sense. But now since using an aosp rom for the past few weeks I'm hooked and since nexus is Google's flagship, it seems that it will get more support but well see how ice cream sandwich looks!

I am sticking with my MT4G lol until the end of at&Tmobile merge (acquisition by THE Death Star) or if I go out again with GF and get so fked up that I lose it.
The failed attempt of silly 3D or dual core (not yet) appeals to me as cpu1 is not fully utilized by the OS yet as mostly done on cpu0 so far on SoC. Mostly ill just wait and see as my MT4G is fully modified beyond XDA.

Ics will be completely able to utilize both cores,its gonna have hardware acceleration(changing tasks or switching screens won't be choppy) that uses the gpu along side the cpu,correct me if I'm wrong. This new os is completely rebuild internally from the ground up,if my memory serves me right. There's probably some stuff in Ics that we don't know about or will never know.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
Correct, but don't just get it cuz its what kids are babbling about. Fact is if the device is named on XDA people like me won't get it as normally I get device 4-8months before it even comes out to the carrier.
Got HD2 (Leo1024) 6-7months before it came out to TMo and got MT4G 3months before on TMo. Due to our access management and resource development. We can get it before its out to general public after its adopted by and for the carrier, sometimes its branded and sometimes its not. But at the cost of $600-750ea.
At this point I paid $550 for MT4G, $50 for Seidio case+holster, $25 for ClearCrystal (DQC) based screen protector, $150 for Patriot LX 32GB C4 mSD, $47 for MP 1650mAh stock size battery, $40 for VMSS Bass based headphones and $30 for dual sim based male chip. That's just the hardware lol if I go in detail of the dev/hack of the software some is outside the scope of our XDA.

So we found out the truth and the rumors are true and the HTC Sensation (pyramid) is upon us. Many of you have been waiting months for this rumor to pan out, know it finally has. With claims that its is a "sexier" Nexus One with a similar design incorporating the Nexus S's curved screen all in cased in an aluminum unibody design. What do you guys think? Discuss all of your thoughts and concerns here. Personally, I am going to buy it. I don't care if this is the last year of T-mobile, at least i am going out in style. Besides Att is then forced to buy me a bad ass phone. LOL
For those of you who voted to wait for something better, will this change your mind?
Here is the official promo video from HTC

Kind of similar in some respects but not really at all the same.

So most of you probably already know this but the rumored "HTC Pyramid" doesn't seem to much of a rumor anymore. On top of that there is indications that it may possibly be the next Google dev phone. Biggest hint is the lack of the htc sense logo and of the pics saying Google not with Google. I am not making this thread to discuss the supposed specs so lets try to refrain from that and go with what is rumored.
1.2 Ghz (in some reports) dual core processor
4.3 S-LCD qHD Screen
8 Meg camera
768 Ram
Android 3.0??? (not sure if thats even possible with along with a good user experience)

Its dual core it uses qualcom new 866 chip which lte,hspa+, compatible highest they said it runs is 1.2 dual core. I don't think it will have honeycomb its a sense phone and Google said no overlays on honeycomb. They also trying to end the difference in hardware. So they can get rid of fragmentation. It should equal specs to that of the evo3d. So most likely 1 gig ram. 4 gig rom.
Why is everyone I know excited about the thunderbolt I had it for months on T-Mobile

Tmonews reported a rumor that the Pyramid was possibly going to be on T-mobile, if that is true, it will be my next phone. Not that i would get rid of my MT4G. I just have been waiting for a 4.3 screen ans HTC android to come to T-mobile.

There is nothing that's vanilla or aosp about it really. Most of the build and components underneath are actually HTC stuff not standard aosp. Like that of the nexus one and nexus s. Basically T-Mobile took a HTC sense phone and threw up vanilla on to it. Cause what the g2 has on it is not true aosp.

That doesn't make it sense or not vanilla. Its vanilla because there is no overlay just stock android. Its not a sense rom because there is not a sense overlay.

Sorry its late what I'm trying to say is that this phone runs off a whole bunch of HTC drivers not real stock android aosp ones. What T-Mobile says its stock android is not true. Its just a build poorly threw on a phone not true vanilla.

Well, lets hope its the next dev phone then
it would be cool if the pyramid became the mytouch 4g+ 3D/mytouch 4g 3D with full 42mbps support, and dual-core with those killer specs
The G2 is really a sense phone. Saw Kmobs talking about it on Twitter, he says once you delve deeper into the G2's ROM you'll find sense frameworks and libs. He said it's basically a sense rom with an AOSP theme.
But anyways, obviously the Pyramid is going to be a much better phone than the myTouch 4G, but I don't think I'll be getting it. There's no app or game currently out that will even come close to bogging down this phone with it's 2nd gen Snapdragon and 768mb's of RAM. Something it gonna come out in Fall that will destroy the Pyramid anyways. I'll ride out the full two years of my contract till I get something else. With technology of these phone's exponentially rising there'd be no point in me constantly trying to get the best phone every 4 months or so when something even more awesome is around it's corner, unless I became rich! Lol, but that won't happen.

Imho, I don't think anything will come out that beats the pyramids specs anytime soon. I have a feeling this is the third gen top end specs and we will have to live with them anywhere from a year to a year in half. The omap5 isn't expected on a phone untill the second half of 2012. Who knows if u wait for a dual core until then, you may only get a couple months to play with it LOL!
Looks similar to a Nexus One but no track ball.
I hate that !
Thats the main reason I returned the Nexus S, no track pad.
This is what I want. A big screen, nice clean classy look and dual core? Oh I am so ready to put up my mytouch on swappa. I can't wait for CTIA to start already.
I hate the way the mytouch looks, even though I use all my phones without cases, this I had to put on a solid black tpu case on it so I just wouldn't see it. Love the specs of the phone, but hate the looks
I personally love how the mytouch looks maybe because I'm 16 but anyways lol the pyramid looks so cool so futuristic I hope it becomes the mytouch 4g 3d with the new sense and no espresso

I think it will be a mysense phone the next my touch think about the order of previous g series and mytouch series releases first was g1 then mytouch then mytouch slide then g2 then mytouch 4g next is the LG g2x which is vanilla Android so next should be mytouch line why would they release two vanilla phones so close to each other as the 2gx is the next Google phone
Edit: it will be espresso T-Mobile will never do regular sense

So I have a G2x sitting in my shopping cart on tmo(not upgrading paying outright so no contract extenstion) and I'm faced with a huge choice. Do I buy the LG now or wait for the sensation? Like sense but always run cm for speed so every phone that I had that came with sense stock always was replaced with cm. There are pros and cons to both phones
htc sensation:better display and bigger(I actually like smaller screens)
g2x: more internal memory but less ram
htc is 1.2ghx and the g2x is 1.
It's such a hard choice to make. So my question is for those of you who got the g2x why did you get it instead of waiting for the sensation? What reasons did you have on going with the g2x as opposed to waiting for the htc? I really dont know if I should get the g2x or wait it out a bit. I am itching to hit that "complete order" button on the g2x though
I'd be coming from a mytouch 4g

I don't own a G2X, only played with one alongside my NS for a bit. I don't really know that you're going to notice a huge difference in speed coming from your Glacier on CM7 at 1.5ghz ...it's a really fast phone. Are there some other features you feel like your missing with the Glacier that you could get from the G2X?
Edit: I don't have a G2x in my cart, but I'm itching too as well...!
I was waiting for the Sensation....but I only made it 4 hours on the 15th before giving in and ordering online.
Only thing I like better about the sensation is the qHD display...but the G2X screen is still nice.
I also didnt want a huge screen phone that hardly fits in your pocket, the G2X size is good.
Well, I guess I'll just list my reasons out.
1. I, like you, don't like 4.3" screens, 4" is perfect for me and the display on the G2X is fantastic, even at 800x480 resolution.
2. I figured the .2 difference in ghz wasn't a big deal considering the resolution difference in the phones, 960x480 vs 800x480. As we've all seen, the G2X smokes the Atrix because of resolution alone, despite the 512mb ram difference.
3. Ram isn't going to make the phone run any better as we've already seen in Atrix vs G2X. It will help if your running tons of intensive apps at once, but it shouldn't be making much a difference 90% of the time.
4. A lot of devs are on the fence on supporting the sensation due to locked bootloaders. Even Cyanogen has said that they may not be supporting because of that very issue. And dev support is VERY important to me.
5. HDMI Mirroring on the G2X. This feature may also be on the sensation, but I haven't heard of it yet.
In all, I'm very happy I got the G2X. It runs like a champ and that's on Froyo. I can't wait till Cyanogen7 comes out.
P.S. The Optimus 2X has already been overclocked to 1.3 and 1.4 ghz if that means anything to you.
Hope this helps man. Good luck with whatever you get.
I never want a phone that has Sense on it.
Simple choice.
Well I got it because I'm a phone junkie. And I will be getting the sensation as soon as it drops. The G2x is a great phone much better than the vibrant and when it get GB it will be better than the nexus s.

Thanks for that man! Is that true that Cyanogen really might not support the sensation? Dev support is also very important to me. I never rely on carriers, always the community. I too am iffy about a 4.3 inch screen. I think my screen on my mt4g is pretty big enough for me especially since I have two android tablets for when I need a bigger screen android experience

Every sense phone I have had has only had sense on it for a first few minutes out of the box. I love sense for it's eye candy but it's such a resource hog. So I always replace sense with CM
Overall you guys are happy with the g2x? build quality is solid? any issues like bad displays or any nonsense like that?
Im in the same boat. im kinda leaning towards waiting though. The g2x is an awesome device but the larger and higher res screen on the sensation is enough to make me hold off.

if this is indeed true then i would get the g2x also. higher res screen (960x540) is nice but not as important as dev support. Btw, where did you read that cyanogen might not support it?
I'm still going back and forth if I'm going to order it or wait.. part of me really wants to just click that order button.. god I think I've made much more important decisions quicker than this one..

He said it on his Twitter. HTC already announced it will have a locked boot loader. Most devs aren't going to deal with that ****. Poor decision on HTC's part because Samsung has already announced there Galaxy S II will be wide open.

Honestly the g2x is an amazing device and couldn't see myself using the sensation for the sole reason of just sense. I had a mytouch 4g for about 2 days and returned it for the g2 all because of sense. Now from the g2 I'm on the g2x and couldn't be happier. It's a choice you have to make but to completely honest it will be one you won't regret

So all these hours that I've been deciding... I decided to do it. It was in stock when I first put it in my cart, when I went to check out it said it wasnt available for immediate shipment. I looked at the main site and sure enough, it was out of stock Guess I will be calling the closest store in the AM seeing if they have any in stock. After looking at some vids of the sensation I think it's just too big for me. I think the biggest I would go is 4" Hope I can pick one up tomorrow
Hopefully! I'll tell you now my store was pretty well stocked and I was there about 2 hours after they opened. Funny thing is the sametime I was going in I counted about 5 or 6 other people going in for the same thing...good luck! =P

anyone want to buy a mytouch 4g? hahaha
I'm personally waiting on the sensation I have a g2x its a nice phone I only use it for HDMI mirroring only use for me. I'm not scared of lock bootloader just be harder to crack. People said the g2 was unhackable and look at it now. Motorola signs thiers and uses encryption. The thunderbolt was hacked as well. If their is enough support it will be broken. Alot of developers are going still get this phone. The evo3d will be hacked as well once either phone is hacked well have an opening.

Your really not waiting for the Sensation since you already jumped on the G2x. By the way you must have the worlds greatest will power if you have G2x and are still using your outdated Glacier.....rolls eyes.

For what its worth here are the benchmarks for the sensation g2x and sgs2 looks like sense is too bloated for the hardware

hello everyone. coming over from the galaxy s forums.
i recently jumped ships and bought an htc sensation 4g (tmous) and i rooted it yadda yadda yadda flashed insert coin, leedroid, and revolutionhd nonsense.
now coming from a galaxy s vibrant running bali 1.8.8 kernal, bionix v 1.3.1 and lcd density set at 192 which all worked so good for me.
i need you guys to tell me this is a good phone and i should keep it bc i want to give it a shot however all the roms i flash for the sensation are slow for me.
im looking for a clean no sense build and revolutionhd no sense is that rom. when i run a quadrant the phone gets about a 850 900 on revolution hd. i kno quad scores dont mean much but the phone feels sluggish and slow.
can someone direct me on what im doing wrong and why this phone appears to run so slow? i mean really slow. is this how htc phones perform? my last htc phone was a mt3gslide running cm6 at the time
Try revolution HD 3.0.1, 3.0.2 was kinda slow on my phone but 3.0.1 is mega fast. If its not fast enough, then this might not be the phone for you, but for me and most others its fast enough. Also, quadrant doesn't even utilize the second core.

I'm regretting my switch from the galaxy s as well.. Hopefully things will change soon with new rooms or something.

thats what i figured about quadrant. is the cpu1 being used at all on revolutionhd?

true story. i went to take it back and tmobile wanted me to pay a 50 dollar restocking fee which is ridiculous. its listed locally for 400
il straight trade for a nexus s
Before trading it in, please try the 2.3.0 version of Leedroid.
High benchmark scores (check thread), superb battery life (1,5-2 days with light-normale use) and very smooth.
The Sensation should be the best phone there is atm considering the hardware. Unfortunately HTC didn't optimize the ROM + drivers for it.
Also damn you HTC for being so ssssslow in releasing the 2.3.4 kernel. Lot's of people could do magic with it
i have a few pms about trading for a nexus s. im sorry guys. my heart belongs to samsung. i gave htc a second try and realized it wont work between us.
yes she looks good wrapped in that metal but samsung phones are just down right a dirty girl
if you ever owned a galaxy phone you will understand this and agree
Making me miss my captivate.. but i still love my sensation
phone runs great for me on... MT-S4g v1.1.2 (tmous 2.3.4 tweaked stock looking though)

First aosp rom is done. It will be posted within 24hours. Flash that one and please tell me what lag.

If you're willing, wait till ROMs come out that have proper dual core support. Not this madness where you force once core to be on all the time, but a ROM that intelligently manages both cores to maximize performance/battery life. Also ICS should bring better dual core support. If you can't wait, then jumping ship seems like the answer.
I would wait to jump ship. It's a new phone, New set of hardware. The dual-core is still being delta with. For the most part, I think this thing fly's. Small bugs, but time will heal all. If you trade now, two months from now your gonna kick your own asset around for trading. Just saying. Good luck to you

Okay eww on Samsung, I had (still have but dont use) a Captivate, they don't have working GPS, TW is so laggy, samsung makes great tv's, ****ty phones. Good luck. I love my Sensation, maybe I got lucky, I have none of the issues I read about on the forums. I am still on stock because, as of now, it's perfect out of the box. I tried a few ROMe but without kernel source for 2.3.4 they are full of bugs. Maybe it's perfect for my daily use, idk, so far, it's been a great two weeks.

hear hear! it its a really good fone, but SOOOOO different from the sgs/sgsII when comparing hardware/software...
the processor is far too advanced for the software to actuaal make proper use of it, aSync is a little tricky, but the devs here are doing some AMAZING work to get both running at the same time (bear in mind this processor is NOTHING like hyperthreading for dekstops, its practically like 2 physical processors on a single chip)
it will get much better before it gets any worse, and my saving grace is that this fone launched almost 6 months before the iphone 5, and the specs are STILL better take that jobs/cook!
I came from an SGS with custom roms which was pretty smooth but I have to say the Sensation with P3D Neon rom is a lot smoother and the Sense animations are very fluid. I also find the browser to be a lot better than that on the SGS especially with the extra qHD resolution.
Hey guys, every one knows about the Nexus now. It looks AMAZING. But it's still plastic. What do you think about it? Should I stick with my Sensation or get the Nexus in exchange by November? Both are 1.2Ghz dual core monsters, the Nexus has the A9 processor and 1GB RAM. The best part is the Super Amoled 720p display - 4.65" - Just amazing. What do you say?
Oh and the worst part is the camera. 5 megapixel? What the..? But anyway, the sensor matters more.
What do you say guys?

If it was an easy swap, id do it. Im not going to swap though as it would be costly and I dont see the nexus being light years ahead of the sensation either.
The sensation will wind up doing the same stuff as the nexus once it also gets ICS.
If I were out looking for a new phone, Id choose the nexus...
Matt
Hmm. How much would the Nexus cost? UNLOCKED.

No idea, but id plan on at least $599.99. Thats far more than youll get for your Sensation.
I dont see anything groundbreaking that the nexus does over the sensation, ICS aside. No reason to jump ship for this phone. Ill stick with my Sensation and wait for next upgrade's phones, which should be groundbreaking by then.
Matt
Damn! Okay, it's a hard decision to make
If I didn't own a Sensation already, I would get the Nexus, Pure Google! I don't regret getting the sensation though.

Loving the nexus, and so very much want the dev support of the nexus, love that everything first thing and how quick it moves because all the devs on it.
But i'm torn, sensation is awesome but slower on devs. I have a hard decision to make very soon. My point being, I can't decide myself, so I can't help you decide lol

I'm sticking with my sensation!
The single most pushing reason to make the jump would be the 4.65" 720p AMOLED display (zomg!!! ). U just can't beat that.
The rest... meh. I guess with ICS and proper dualcore support, the Sensation will finally take off speed wise. Or at least I hope it.
If I was you, I'd swap it for the new Galaxy Nexus. You will always have the newest Android distirbutions at your disposal

Yeaahh! The main reason i WANT to swap is the screen! Damn awesome. But .. it will be damn expensive. Plus, I just asked somebody how much they would buy my phone for, they said - 390$ that's IT.
So i'll stay with the Sensation..

Yea...So it boils down to SELLING your Sensation and paying another $300 or so to get a screen with better resolution...For what though?
Just months ago qHD was all the rage. I still dont see whats so special about it???
I doubt a 720p screen will be worth the trouble and extra $$$. Now, if you need to upgrade and can get a deal on the Prime, then hell yea.

Hmmm.. I agree
I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus as soon as possible. Not because I think it is far superior to the Sensation but for the simple fact that I am on my 3rd Sensation now that is ridden with dust under the screen. It is such a stupid problem to have with such an expensive phone.
The fact that so many of us have the issue and HTC refuses to admit that it's a known problem has really made me ready to jump ship from HTC without any plan on coming back.

I just like the look of the galaxy nexus, sure the 720p resolution screen is going to be nice but I want the galaxy nexus for the additional hardware like nfc and barometer sensor (because I'm a tech junkie like that). I'm alright with having a dual core processor because Android will not be optimized for quad core for a while. Plus android 4.0 ice cream sandwich has hardware acceleration. I am probably going to keep my sensation though, haven't had any problems with my sensation yet.

Easy answer if you're looking for a new phone right now from an older phone. It would be ridiculous to get a new Sensation right now; it is becoming so outclassed in so many ways. If you already have a new Sensation, it depends on if you think the $ will be worth it. I personally have a good amount of dough saved up and will seriously consider the Nexus Prime because it is an upgrade in every way over the Sensation (the whole 5MP thing is a non-issue because that is not what determines the quality of pictures; also I don't give a crap about plastic construction because living with the Sensation has made me value a phone that is fast and performs well over a phone with an aluminum build).
i loved my htc sensation but i found the nexus too hard too resist at $465 and better dev support
i will be selling my singapore htc sensation (works with $5/mo tzones), any idea whats a good going price for it in good condition?
if anyone is interested in the nexus, its still available for $465 at mobile.dailysteals.com
If in mint condition, flawless screen, 300 dollars.

i hate sense.... so the only roms that were of interest to me were trips/vorbeths cm9 and virtuous inquisition... and all 3 are still buggy as of today
Saw that sale too, so tempted.
I played with my friend's Verizon GNex and it didn't blow me away though.
Quite similar to my phone running Virtuous Inq.
The difference wasn't great enough to warrant me spending so much money, even if I did sell my Sensation.
Getting a galaxy nexus this far into 2012? The thing is 6 months old already! Cortex-A15 beasts (Galaxy S III) are right around the corner, why waste money now?
Don't get me wrong guys, the screen alone makes the Nexus better than the Sensation - hands down!!
It's just that stock Android, where it was at first nice and new, pales in comparison to Sense 4...might sell mine and get the One X

It isn't even known if the Galaxy S III‘s Exynos will be A15. You could assume so but the doesn't make it definite. Look at the Tegra 3 for example.

I jumped on this deal too. I love my Sensation but need to get back to stock Android, and I agree, the current AOSP/AOKP ROMs for Sensation are buggy or missing core functionality. Development seems to be moving along at a snail's pace. Not a complaint, just an observation.
I'll still keep my Sensation just in case, but eagerly awaiting the GN.

Care to elaborate? I find this hard to believe considering it's a brand new Nexus device, and even the N1/S are still getting support (N1 got an update just September of last year, and the S was recently updated).
Are you saying it has stopped for now or it has stopped entirely?
Sensation has enough power to run cm9 super smooth.
Not that impressed by Nexus Galaxy, then wait for a Quad Core phone.
One X quadcore gets 4750 in Quadrant (might not be optimized for 4cores yet?)
know its not about all about numbers, but cm9 feels good
cm9 opensensation (bluetooth working, only camera not recording yet and some other bugs)

Officially the GSM Nexus is on 4.0.2. There have been more updates since then - 4.0.3 (which all new ICS devices will be running) and 4.0.4 for the CDMA Nexus. Google aren't looking like doing anything else at present and I hope we'll get a new update come I/O but in a Dev sense all the ROMs are the same.
OK, MIUI is now out but bar that there's not a lot to differentiate between ROMs
Though most roms seem the same (the sense ones) Have tried alot of AOSP ones there awesome waiting for miui to be stable(r) lol
The first chance I get I will get the Gnex. I will not look back. I have a couple of manufacturers that I will NOT buy their phones again. I can care less if they put a big battery or have some cool feature... the one thing I care about is UPDATE. What good is a $500 phone if it never gets an update or better yet they let the phone out with hardware issues that can not be resolved with software update. I have watched android evolved only to see what manufacturers of phone and carriers do to it. As much as I hate apple, they did it right and for Google to just sit idle while they butcher they product I just don't get. Anyway enough ranting... gnex is my next phone, hopefully before summer.

Have non of those issues im not being biased. Ive been modding since jesus freak days. Ive been around since the beginning of android. Your comment is biased.

If you do go through with jumping ship be ready to pick up an extended battery and cover.
The GNEX is pretty abysmal with battery life.
