Up for trade is a perfect condition unlocked, rooted, and modded HTC Sensation. The phone has been hacked to run HTC Sensation XE software ( the newest model ) which means that instead of having a 1.2 dual core it will have 1.5 dual core which means that the phone will be even faster. It also comes with beats audio technology which improves the music listening quality. The phone is in good condition . The phone comes with the usb cable, charger, case, and box.
I believe that for about a second.

Does that mean it's over clocked?

I don't see anything wrong with it. There are roms available that enable the beats audio, and you can also over clock to 1.5

I think the joke here is on the OP!
I think the joke lies in the statement "it now has a 1.5 processor" majority people that dont know root, or know the meaning of it will read it as he upgraded the processor to 1.5, not Over clock it, when you read it in that type of sense its kinda funny

Finally someone with some humor
He's essentially saying the Sensation magically turns into the Sensation XE, b/c of a ROM & CPU bump, when in reality the phone is still a Sensation as before. Such magical transformations are only possible on apple products adding to the irony of that listing.

But the XE is basically a ROM and CPU bump, so that ad seems spot on.
Well considering that the CPU is actually underclocked out of the box. It actually is a dual 1.5 speed chip, so when we bump it up we are actually setting it to the speed it was made for. I see nothing wrong with the Craigslist post.

nothing is funny about that ad at all. xe is basically the og sensation just not underclocked and includes that "beats" technology that they didnt include on the sensation

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

My Phone is for benchmarking only, too!
Man put TouchWiz on the Sensation and have a look again! Sense is huge! And the g2x is not faster
Have you used the g2x it blows the sstion out speed wise and i have a sensation its just faster but I don't know why I wanna keep my sensation because like i said the specs are better nobody wants to say it but we all know the Tegra2 has the uperhand ....

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.
I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?
It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

A new HTC Sensation is on its way with a faster Qualcomm 8260 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, internal storage has been upgraded to 4 gigs and finally it will have a beefier battery by some good 210 mAh (1.730 mAh in total).
The HTC Sensation with Beats by Dr. Dre audio technology will also ship with complimentary special edition headphones with remote control for faster music selection.
The expected price for the device will be about $847, which is a bargain considering that a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones cost around $119.
damn shouldnt have bought the phone first -.-
Thanks for the fresh and exciting news that no one has brought up before! It's really good to have such amazing members to tell us about things that certainly do not appear on these forums.
Again, thank you.
Agreed this is how the sensation should have launched... all of the sensation goodness, none of the weaknesses! I kinda wished I had got this (mostly cause ide kill for some beats dr dre earbuds!

It's the same chip. Only difference is, that the original Sensation's chip was underclocked @ 1.2ghz. Im currently running @ 1.5ghz. What they NEED to do is upgrade the onboard ram to @ least 1gb.

Some devs have left, yes, but that's the nature of the beast. But that doesn't mean development is dead. It's slowed down a bit since there hasn't been any new leaks.
Guys I just want to know which is the best device to go for next? SGSII OR SENSATION? what say?
Sent from my device using Tapatalk
It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment
I will be getting the Galaxy S III!
Honestly...none...
I would prefer htc one x..if you can wait more surely s3...:beer:

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using xda premium
Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!
Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable
I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.
check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation
I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.
