I've tried custom ROM's cooked from this version, and I've been using this official release from HTC for a couple of days... there is no difference at all in battery drain, and I would even suggest that this official ROM is smoother and speedier than some of the cooked ROM's I've tried! Each to their own
The main HTC website will not accept my serial number - is there any where else to get this rom?
cheers
New HTC ROM..

Spot on. I think the other poster never tried the latest official rom because it is faster and the battery is slightly better than most of the custom roms I have used. I think this one is keeper just for the faster Manila 2.5 (faster than any custom rom using the Rhodium/Topaz friendly Manila). Navigation is much more fluid.
thanks for the link looby.
Is this rom network unlocked? as my current one is sim free and works on any network?
cheers
New ROM..
It is and it is exactly the same as the one on the HTC site..
ok, i think i go update to this rom and see

I'm in Australia (part of Asia Pacific)- which ROM should I use??
New Topaz ROM..
There is another thread on this ROM upgrade if you search. I saw this on it I don't know if it is what you are looking for..
Asia WWE 2.53.707.4 is now available: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNe...15&news_id=599
HTC tell me my serial number is an eastern-european handset. Does anybody know if I can still use the WWE Rom?
Is this the same exact ROM which Htcpedia posted long time ago?
Can someone confirm if adding words to T9 works, does it remember?
can anyone confirm that this is an Asia and UK rom only? as i understand it, this update is not available for North America, correct?
As far as I test on this new ROM, I think the only slow part is the home tab, it may probably cause by the buttom shortcuts, if you hide them, the performance will be better.
Other than this small issue, I think generally it perform much better than the previous official ROM, not just the major improvement of the user interface, but also the program running performance.
Can someone advise as to the version of WinMo in this upgrade? Is it 6.5 or have HTC moved to 6.5.x? Am debating whether to go for this or stay where I am.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Balders
According to Settings it's just 6.5 Professional.
Hope that helps.
It does thank you...but it is a shame that they have not taken the opportunity to advanc the version of WinMo...but then I suppose that we should be thanksful that they have taken the trouble to offer a Sense update.

This is not hTc fault. This is T-Mobile fault because T-Mobile has to agree about everything hTc want to do with the device.
Update seems to make sense more stable! Hope it stays that way. Very responsive and fast like it was when it was new, but like I said hope it stays that way.
Wow! First we hear that s-off is close, then a system update? Merry Christmas in July
Downloading now, anyone else notice any differences?
My phone seemed faster at first, but now it's back to good ole Sense induced lagginess.
GHasgy%^&#ERRFD. At least we got some good news from AlphaRev.... hopefully soon....
The update was just for stability as far as I know. Regardless I notice everything working a lot smoother since the day of purchase.
The battery seems to last a tab bit longer. Nothing super duper but enough to notice some increase as well as increase in overall system performance.

What is the hboot version after the update?
This is the same HBOOT after the update as I said : HBOOT : 1.17.0011
The 1.35 OTA is only minor bugfixes.
I dont see any changes
I dont really see any changes, oh well
This is someone's post about the 1.35 update:
http://www.sensation-devs.com/index.php/w4lth3r/378/leaked-1-35-update-review/
After a month of working with version 1.28, 1.35 leaked last weekend (thanks Football), so I flashed it right away!
This version was for 'unbranded' devices only, that means it has been made for devices without customization of carriers. This unbranded devices are normally called 'vanilla'. The nice thing with unbranded devices is that you can flash the newest software update from HTC without waiting for your carrier to approve it. In practice the carriers release the updates months later than HTC because they have to put their customization (bootanimation, apps etc.) before they release them to the customers.
But ok, back to the update...
We are eagerly waiting for the update by HTC that will unlock the Sensation. Unfortunately, nothing changed after this update, the Sensation is still S-ON. This means you can only flash software made by HTC, no custom roms can be flashed yet. Too bad for the development community...
The new update brings a lot of improvements that you won't see but feel.
HTC seems to work on optimizing the software to get the maximum performance out of this device. Besides the cosmetic improvements there are also some differences under the hood. Just to mention some, the agenda, camera, contacts, gallery, twitter and Sense have being improved, and there's a new version of them on this update.
HTC Sense has been improved a lot, not in the looks, but in its performance.
Sense first consisted of several so-called modules, that were loaded separately depending on what the user did in Sense. This meant less memory usage, but more memory fragmentation. In detail, memory fragmentation increases the battery usage and can slow down the phone. Because people were complaining about the lag on Sense, HTC redesigned Sense and made it into 1 module instead of several separate modules. This results are positive, and Sense is now faster and a lot smoother.
This update includes a new, improved, radio.
After purchasing the phone, I wasn't really satisfied with the signal strength. While any other HTC device had enough Wi-Fi signal to chill in the garden while browsing the internet, the Sensation was not getting any signal at all. Happily enough, HTC did a good job on the latest radio and now I won't lose my wifi connection anymore when I'm moving far from the router. Despite this improvement, I still think they can do better with it.
Battery life - a hot topic now that smartphones become increasingly powerful and consume more power.
The battery life was good before the update, and now it is even better. Sense has been improved and optimized to use less power and the new radio manages the wireless connections of the phone efficiently and saves battery power. Also, charging is much faster now.
All in all, this update is worth the shot. Do not expect vast improvements but it will make your phone snappier, improve your Wi-Fi performance and make your battery last longer.
The full potential of the Sensation will be unleashed once we get root and S-OFF. Everyone is looking forward to custom roms, and I hope we can flash this beast soon!

I havent received the ota,why?
I'm in china,and I use local 3g sim card.could that be the reason?
Does anyone know if this fixes the battery percentage to show full forever and them drop dramatically?
India got update 2.3.4 update with software version 1.45.720.
Till now I have seen change with
1) icons clarity.Icons look very fine now.
2) 130 MB RAM free most of the time time (stock ROM)
Let me know if any one know more changes ..bcoz I don't see any surprises
I am on a Custom ROM. HTC will take ages to make their stock ROM as good as the custom ROMs available on this forum....Try one of them...you will also forget the stock ROMs.
@ mathrania but will i loose warranty ? And when i tried rooting my sensation it was not detecting my cell on 1st step only if u can help tht will be much better ..It say waiting for phone though it is connected
You loose some to gain some. Go for insert coin 2.2.5 sse with bricked kernal .5 and see results. Superfast ROM and very good battery.

I also observed the following:
new Facebook app (updated to latest I guess. I am using stock HTC Facebook app)
its noticeably smoother now
battery consumption is worse. I will do battery calibration again this weekend and then if it still remains as bad. Earlier I could go upto 1.5 days with moderate use and still have 20-25% juice left. Now it was like after 8-10 hours of moderate use I was at 45% level.

I hvn't updated to 2.3.4 yet, I'm still on 2.3.3, but I still get around 150-200 MB free RAM. So ur 2nd point has no relation to 2.3.4 at all! Also check ur google Talk app., ur HTC Sensation might now hv the video chat feature. HTC made only subtle changes via the 2.3.4 update, it basically includes a few bug fixes & a few visual fixes. Also the sense crashes might be reduced now.
I'll update my phone in a couple of weeks, I'll be able to answer this better after updating.
can you check to see if your camera's macro function is now f'ed up?
I've almost had it up to here with that and the constant home button/screen shot issue. I almost threw my phone yesterday in frustration.

It's been eleven days since Android Police published this story detailing the discovery by Trevor Eckhart of some serious security issues within HTC's more recent software. Three days after that HTC responded, and now, a further week or so later, we are seeing reports of an "important security update" being pushed to HTC Sensations throughout Europe.
Now this update is available in India from 29th Oct 2011. While HTC does not specify exactly what the ~9 MB update addresses, the timing seems right to relate to the preceding story. Besides alluding to some positive-sounding "performance improvements and new features", the update description does not mention any further details, and HTC certainly doesn't dwell on the nature of the security update itself.
Quick Update - After you install the ~ 9 MB file. Check for update again you will get a ~400 KB update as well not sure what that is for...
Has somebody in India done this??
Will check any improvements and post the same....

The next update was probably an application update. I had noticed that the "make more space" under "SD & phone storage" in the settings showed an error (something in the lines of "no action attached"). After the application update, its working fine.

Hi,
I’ve had a Sensation XE for a few weeks, and just noticed over the last few days that the phone has started to reboot itself. It’s done it whilst I’ve been using it, and also whilst it’s just been sat on my desk in standby.
I have removed all of the programs that I installed before I had the phone, and that doesn’t seem to solve the problem. Factory reset doesn’t seem to either.
I’ve noticed on some other forums that people have had restarting problems after installing the recent update, but I’m not sure how relevant that might be. Has anyone else encountered the same thing, and if so were you able to solve the issue?
I had restarting problems with my Desire HD and switched to a custom Rom, which solved the issue. Can the Sensation XE have custom roms installed in the same way, or is there a different method to installing them? If anyone has any suggestions on the best custom rom, that would be appreciated too.
Any advice would be great,
Thanks
It can be because of an update. But then more users should have that problem.
I have had my fair share of reboot loops because of software i installed that did not work well. And the phone would not boot anymore
For your Sensation XE you could try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
It uses XE clocks for normal sensations. And the 3.6.4 is based on a XE rom.
Sounds like it might be worth trying a custom ROM. Thanks!

Hi, was wondering if you'd tried the "Android Rev' HD" ROM yet?
I've had the XE for about a month, applied s-off and root immediately and then resisted any modding until last night. Applied MIUI.us 1.10.28, all good initially, then encountered a continual loss of network.
Tried reflashing ROM, different radio's, updates still no joy. Really don't want to go back to Sense, any feedback appreciated.

Hi,
I can strongly recommend ARHD ROMS .
3.6.4 for a 2.3.4 based ROM using Sense 3.0
Or the one I'm using:
4.1.5 which is a 2.3.5 based ROM using Sense 3.5
Or you could wait a little while because he is going to update the 2 ROMS today.

Do you still have that problem? I have the HTC Sensation and random reboots as well. I tried different ROMs (ARHD, Hypersensation and now the cm7 alpha10) and I always experienced random reboots I tried to track it down by studying several logcats or to reproduce the reboots, both without any results... However, I never had reboots while the phone was plugged via usb.
The annoying thing is that the reboots sometimes happen a couple of time right after one another
I think it might be the hw powermanagement, either the battery or some other hw parts.
Best
You’ve had a Sensation XE for only a few weeks, right? It is HTC's responsibility to ensure that their product should work in good condition. Therefore, bring your XE back for repairing or replacement. Don't void the warranty.

Hi all,
I am new to this forum, I do not know this is right place for this question. If not please forgive me and correct me!
I use htc sensation 4g. Then I flash to mike (3.6.4)rom, it seem smooth for every usage except its boot itself exspecially after skype calls or when its hot. So I flash again for clock to normal (means 1.2GHz). Now its less heat but sometime still reboot itself(but lesser now).
I've one stupid thing need to be add before I install 3.6.4 should I wipe user data? its upgrade from 3.6.3 xe rom.
Is there any advice to solve it?

Hi,
What you are experiencing is a poor kernel.
You can go one of two ways.
1.show-p1984 who does bricked kernels HERE (do not be alarmed by the name )
2.Faux123 kernels HERE
His latest is 0.2.3.r3,but I find his beta even better.You can find 0.2.4.beta7 in my signature.
If you want absolute rock stability,choose bricked 0.9.1(best for any 3.6.x ROM)
Good luck.
Hi there,
I had HTC sensation XE UK version, then I installed Middle East Rom to receive an Arabic update after changing the device Cid. Since I bought the device I noted that sometime it reboots after installing some new programs and also sometimes -NOT always- after removing certain programs, REBOOT sometime after I free the memory using "Super Tool Box" program, and rarely after exiting from other program that I could not classified!!!
I have contacted HTC support service, and they advised me to try the safe mode if the issue disappeared, this means it was related to some programs I have installed. This issue does not exist on the safe mode and despite removing >70 of all programs especially the system and tool programs on the regular mode, still I'm experiencing the same issue from time to another.
Currently, I'm just waiting for the announced upgrade to Ice Cream to check whether this issue is normal with the sensation XE or an issue to be fixed!!! Anyway, I was just thinking that it might be a good idea to share with a REBOOTING issue I had. Cheers…
Did you guys use some kind of Task Killers?
i had one and from that time i had serious reboot issues.
i looked up on this site and and after removing the Task Killer software i haven't seen this problem anymore...
Had that problem with the Sense 3.0 Virtuous Sensation ROM. Once I changed ROMs it has not done it since.
Clear your cache and dalvik from recovery and you should see none or less reboots.
Hey Guys
Im also experiencing similar issues
My sensation runs fine during the day then at work whilst my phone stays on a desk mostly it suddenly powers off whilst screen off
I have to reboot and it can happen again immediately after inserting my pin and unlock pattern
Im on a custom 2.3.4 rom (LeeDroid) and sometime it happens on stock kernal and sometimes on custom kernal but more less
Ive being reading about abit and it seems it could well be a 2.3.4 bug, but Ive also tried sense 3.5, android 2.3.5 and it's still an issue now and then, but thats expected with 2.3.5 being a leaked unofficial release.
Think I'll put up with it as much as i can until we get ICS or I might just return to HTC and see what they say or do.
I hope this is not a major issue. Im just going to upgrade mine to xe ;(

Hi Guys
I also have the rebooting problem.
My phone is original and unrooted,unbranded from Tmobile.
IT had gingerbread and was rebooting all the time.
Following HTC i got a new simcard which did not solve the issue.
I now upgraded via OTA to 4.0 and problem seemed to have improved,then few days after the phone started to reboot again and now seems to happen more and more often.
Going off when very warm or just not using it,i can't find a path....i also hard reset it when on Gingerbread but no luck...
I will send this back to HTC asap....Bummer!

Hello, everyone!
I have a Nexus S from Rogers, Canada.
The Build number is GRK39F
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
I'm running 2.3.6 and I'd like to know if anyone here has updated to ICS successfully with this phone. I want to force the update but I'm in doubt if it is currently working well.
Anyone?
No official OTA for the I9020A yet, but you could always flash a custom ROM from the development section if you are rooted.
Still waiting for the official OTA for my Nexus as well, but I think I am going to try CM9.
I9020A ICS Update
My experience with the AT&T/US version is that I was on 2.3.5 and would not get any other OTA updates.
I did manually update to 2.3.6 and did not experience issues with it.
I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted. No change to experience.
I then flashed the official full 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T (at my own risk!) and then flashed a compatible radio and did not have any serious functionality issues, but did experience quite a performance lag.
Based on this experience, my take is that there is much to be done for the official I9020A ICS ROM with acceptable performance, and if you are going to wait for official, you are probably going to be waiting for a while.
I have been very pleased with the performance of a custom ROM dedicated to the stock ICS experience along with the recommended custom kernel. Blazing fast compared to my short experience with the official. I have done this all at some risk, but the XDA community is pretty awesome and with a lot of reading of feedback put me at ease and made it very easy to experiment.
I feel your pain
Same situation as you, forcing the checkin doesn't work because there simply isn't an OTA yet for the 9020a
hope it get's here soon!
Cheers,
JM
Worked for me
I have a Nexus S from Fido and I'm using ICS.
I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20456900&postcount=1
I didn't have to flash a different radio or anything. It all seems to work great. Should be the same for Rogers network.
Hope that helps.
ICS on Rogers 9020A
I did the same as ProfBurz yesterday. So far so good. no issues with battery life of reboots. Having some fun with my work exchange account right now but I'm not sure that has anything to do with this ROM.
My exchange account works
My work email is functioning fine. It didn't work the first few times I tried though. No idea why, I rebooted the phone and it worked.
One thing I notice is my contacts with pictures show up pixelated when someone calls. Wrong image size or something? They look fine in text messaging, just show up enlarged when calling.
I have a i9020a on AT&T and here is my ICS info:
Verision: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9020xxKB3
Kernel Version (stock): 3.0.8-gb55e9ac; [email protected]#1
I am also running Nova Launcher (beta 13).
My experience with this has been very good overal. I had some initial problems with data speeds with an earlier radio (can't remember which one), but with the new one (XXKB3) I'm getting about 2mbps down and 1mbps up which is good for the area I am in. I was watching last night at work and I got about 10 hours on a battery and I was only at about 46% then with moderate use (internet job searching some pandora streaming ect).
And just for clarification, this is the 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T, as mentioned by the_real_nwags.
The few complaints I have are minimal and forgettable, but the app drawer takes a few seconds to open (slight lag), but once your in the drawer everything is silky smooth. The other issue I have is Google Wallet doesn't seem to work. Now whether that is my fault or not I can't be sure . The only other issue I have is while streaming Pandora, sometimes it will get stuck "Loading" the next song, but that usually happens right before a comercial, it normally goes right to the next track without a pause.
There is a slight lag to the system, but nothing horrible... I have used worse. So if your interested in trying ICS, this is a good start. I am thinking about trying a new kernal for increased cpu speeds, but I don't know about that yet.
I have a nexus s i9020A on rogers and as long as you flash a rom with no radio, like CM9 or cyberGR. I also have the AUCKF1 radio and 4.0.3 and all is well make sure to download the auckf1 radio just in case your radio goes wrong somehow. Good luck!
