Sorry guys but i wanna ask a question...
Does HTC Sensation....normal one....not Sensation 4G....
Does it has GG? Gorilla glass? I saw some website....some said got some said none....but it doesn't make sense....cause all the previous htc phones...almost all got GG, impossible Sensation got none......
Any idea?
Thx
Yes, it have gorilla glass.
yea it does, i got drunk the other night and started taking keys and bottle caps to it to test it out, not a single scratch or scuff lolol.
Is there a sensation other than the sensation 4G? I don't know, I gave up trying to figure it out. Some websites say it does, some say it doesn't, when I got my screen protector applied at ghost armor, he said he didn't think it had it, HTC says it does, who the hell knows. But in the day or two between getting my phone and getting the screen protector, using it normally living in my pocket it didn't get any scratches
I have it to. But my phone is not from gorilla glas.
Gorilla glass is a gimmick. I had the original iphone for 3 years with no protectors and never had any scratches. Had my sensation for 4 months and a rivet on my jeans put a scratch on the screen very easily. Only one though

Yes and no. This is the answer I have been given, so sorry if it is wrong.
As I understand it there are two versions of the Sensation, the Z710e and the Z710a. The "e" is sold in N America by TMous where they have called it the Sensation 4G. It is also sold in most of the rest of the world where it is just the plain old "Sensation" with no 4G in the name. Same phone, slightly different name.
The "a" is sold in N. America by certain carriers and uses different bands to the "e". So it is a slightly different phone, but I think it is called the Sensation too.
So same phone with different names and different phones with same name. But I may be wrong; and I am certainly confused.

Be careful with gorilla glass
All I have to say is be careful with the screen on the sensation. I've only had my sensation for about 2 weeks. I've been pretty careful with it. I have a dedicated pocket for it. I have a case on it but no screen protector. The other day I bought the incipio case and put the packaging in the same pocket as my sensation for about 15 minutes. A few hours later I found a big scratch on my sensation. The sratch is very visible when the screen is on and very hard to miss. I ended up getting a ghost armor now the scratch is almost invisible when the screen is off and hardly visble when the screen is on. I've had many other devices in the past which I wasnt even careful with and they never got a scratch. My previous desire had gorilla glass it never got a scratch on it even though I didn't take care of it.
The htc sensation does have gorilla glass:

.. to join team HTC Sensation XE!
I'm going to exchange my Samsung Galaxy Nexus this week with o2 due to the HUGE palava going on with the volume/rf interference issues.
I had an HTC Desire previously, so I get the feeling the Sensation is pretty much it's big brother?
Are there any issues I should be looking for upon receipt of the XE? Or were things such as dust under the screen sorted out for the updated handset?
Is it worth rooting the XE? If yes, why? What are the benefits?
In hindsight I wish i'd just got the XE, it was my first choice but the samsung launch won me over. I feel dirty
There is a lot of issues mentioned here on forum, battery, dust, and so on and so on...
But none of this happened on my XE! and battery is bigger, so just give it a try
I rooted it in first day, just because stock rom drains battery faster, on custom rom I having 2+ day's without charging.
And I love my XE
I had desire before too, you'll love your sensation
had dust under screen within 3 weeks of usage , phone was in soft gel case with a screen protector. Id defintly advise to check screen i looked at 3 before purchase and there was a massive difference in 2 of the 3 like night and day
Good luck on your purchase i would have liked to keep this phone becouse i bagged a great deal on it but i just couldent be bothered swapping again so just canceled contract. Im back on my htc desire and couldent be happyier ill be waiting for the next round of phones before looking again
wouldnt do it.
galaxy nexus = awesome screen.
and my backcover-unibody has issues so my screen is not in the unibody correctly..
seems u cant open the phone a few times, bcause of the unibody..
hey mate
i dont have any issues with my htc sensation . I've got it as a free upgarde from 3uk and doesnt have a single defect.It appears though that some people they do have , allthough this didnt stop me from getting my sensations and honestly i love it! except the battery life .... but then again my htc desire didnt have better ....lol
For me get the htc sensation nice looking ,speedy lots of custom ROMs.excellent build quality.
Good Luck with your choice
To be honest, Samsung's response to the volume issue on the nexus hasn't filled me with confidence.
It IS a beautiful phone but just feels to thin, and it's not too comfortable for my girly hands to hold.
I got the Sensation XE from O2
Not a problem with dust etc and the screen is excellent . I may upgrade in March to the Nexus when all the issues have been resolved , if they ever do !
To be honest though , its dual core running at 1.5 Ok could have come with more user available RAM but I have no slow downs etc .
If you get the O2 version can you dump the ROM fist as I have made mine fully stock now and would need the O2 version of the ROM if I ever needed to take it back.
Yep I know I'm a Numpty for not backing up in the first place
The nexus fix is software related and in on the way according to the "androidauthority" site, that goes for the European nexus ,u can have a look on the article if u like .I can't post any links because I am n00b here

I have my Sensation for almost 2 months and no dust, no touchscreen issue, nothing. Just wifi deathgrip, which is not a dealbreaker and rarely the screenshot capture bug (also not a dealbreaker); but I wouldn't exchange a Galaxy Nexus for a Sensation (only if you really like Sense), I would wait for the volume bug to be solved.
Already exchanged it, prefer sense as i've come from an HTC Desire. I'm not one to get my nerd on about cutting edge tech specs etc. Much happier now (and that's what matters, right? )
ICS is gonna rock on this phone!

Love my sensation.. but id have Definitely gone with a 720p display. I admit I love sense .. it may not be super fast but its responsive and is awesome to look at (for me anyway).. maybe the rezound?? It looks promising and would get ics but I'm not too sure how the adreno 220 would work on a 720p display. I would not recommend the galaxy nexus cause as far as I have heard that ti processor uses the old galaxy s g.p.u Fail. Wait, does 02 have that?

Really? Loud clamor about this volume issue (which is all relative because only a small number of people have this issue anyways) only started to come up a few days ago, and Google has already said that they are working on a fix. They addressed the issue and announced they are working on it literally only a few days after angry Galaxy Nexus owners took to the internet. How much faster do you want? Of course we don't know how long the fix will take, but at least they've already acknowledged the issue, and I'm assuming the fix will come very quickly as they will want to have it spotless before it hits the U.S.
To be honest, HTC's response to serving Sensation owners half-baked Sense software, low volume problems, dust issues, and death grip problems hasn't filled me with confidence at all, because they never did respond at all.
At the time I wrote that, Samsung UK had up until that point not even issued a statement of acknowledgement and been deleting posts from their Facebook page! The phone should never have been allowed to be sold in the state it was.
The fix seems to be a software solution to a seemingly hardware problem (long thread on the G Nex forum..). Is this just going to be masking the problem?
I also had a fault with the phone powering off when it was plugged into usb charging and had reached 100%.
The Sensation XE was the phone I originally had my eye on, before the Nexus was even launched. I was won over, but when I actually had the handset, the faults and the physical dimensions and FEEL of the phone just weren't things I was prepared to work with. The XE is more comfortable for me to hold, I was actually getting aches in my hand from the Nexus. Probably because being female, my hands are smaller than that of an adult male.
I had 14 days from purchase of the phone to swap for another, no questions asked. I had to make the decision this week as I personally don't have time later in the 14 days to return it.
So there we go, I don't see why I have to justify my actions but oh well. I've made the right decision for me. The Galaxy Nexus is a bloody fantastic phone but I just didn't get along with it.
Honestly, what's the point of having an awesome phone if you're not 100% happy with it?

i agree with everything you said, i too would probably have made the same choice as you, some people are just obsessed with having the newest/latest and as everyone "should" know, thats not always the best choice or best device...

Yeah I wouldn't do it either. The Galaxy Nexus's volume issue will be solved soon - and it's a better phone on paper. Funny, I love the Sensation (XE/XL) but I'd still suggest the Nexus over it.
Edit: Read OPs post about hand cramps and whatnot, I read the first post and assumed it was only the volume woes, but I see it now. Definitely go Sensation.
Wasn't it tough to go back to a qhd from a 720p display?

owned my sensation since August and so far there's no problems with dust or anything like that. loving it!
No issues with mine at all.
I like GN but since ICS is coming to Sensation I see no point in upgrading.
I do not like sense on it though. This "3D" scroll is nothibg but pissing me off. I wont root as I develop apps so stock is the way for me to go.

Hi guys!
I'm using a Motorola ATRIX at the moment. I've been offered an exchange with a HTC Sensation 4G.
I've had HTC devices before, the last of them being the EVO 3D. Now... let's get to work.
I hear the only difference between the Sensation and the 4G one is that the 4G version has tri-band 3G (and possible 4G support in the future - I'm not sure & I hardly give a damn). But I take the bootloader, radio and firmware HAVE GOT to be a bit different...
Can anybody shed some light on this? Would the same Sensation radios work on the Sensation 4G? Would the same ROM's that work on the Sensation work on the Sensation 4G, as well?
-----
Oh, the tri-band 3G isn't really something I need. I live in Romania, and dual-band 3G has been enough so far... so if I were to lose tri-band 3G support in non-Sensation 4G ROMs, I wouldn't complain...
-----
Another issue I want to know about is the notorious death grip. I play games that require internet connection (Pocket/Star/Dark Legends, you may know them), so... landscape mode + Wi-Fi = no Internet, lol.
-----
And last thing... Did ICS fix/improve anything on this death rip? Also, perhaps some of you guys bought a case to protect your phone (I know I do - MOMAX iCase Pro, they rock)...?
Well 4g just depends on your networks and where you live. If its the USA and you are on tmobile you'll be able to pick up 4g but I have no idea how long it will take for 4g to spread worldwide.
As for the death grip, you just kind of get used to it and you can still hold it on landscape but just in a slightly different way. Ics would never be able to fix death grip I believe because it is a hardware issue.
There are quite a few good cases out but it's not a Samsung, it won't break easily. Also you can buy a white housing cover for the phone which just makes it look amazing.

Makes sense.
When I had the HTC Desire, I remember how I had to hold the phone with my left hand in order to play Pocket Legends... it wasn't comfortable at all but still doable, lol.
How about the bootloader/radio/ROM part? Or I shouldn't worry about that at all?
Are you going to be rooting your device? If so they have some wonderful information here on that. If not, no to answer your question, those things are involved in rooting. But if you are look at the thread that will explain about that. It will help you understand that process
I think you will be very happy with your sensation! I know I love mine! Good luck to you! Enjoy your new device!

You don't say
If I weren't to root my Android and install a custom ROM every once every two weeks or so, I would've be a retard and bought the shiPhone instead.
I thought the Sensation 4G and Sensation have different drivers etc. (like the EVO 3D - GSM and CDMA). Turns out I was wrong (made some extensive research). It's not necessary anymore, the Sensation that guy had wasn't 4G - dumbass, Vodafone ain't selling 4G units, lol.
This guy's phone had loads of dust under the screen (he advertised it as being barely visible - NOT effing true). You know how a supernovae looks like? Cut it in half and put it in the middle of the screen; each half on each edge on the screen. Spraying dust much? Stupid bas..... got my hopes high.
I also tried to hold the phone in specific ways to test the death grip... It was definetly there, even with 3 different cases on, and I definetly hated it with my guts. Looks like I'm sticking to my ATRIX

If you wanted to ignore the death grip a case is the worst thing you can do. Ever.
It will constantly weaken your signal.

Hi!
I'm about to switch to a newer phone from my beloved (and dead) desire S. I was thinking about buying a Sensation (XE maybe?) instead of a One S (due to battery replaceable and sd card slot). What do you think?
So far i loved HTC and Sense (even if they're so slow in updating SO). I don't feel like moving to Samsung, should I?
I have no main use for the phone: I use it (obviously) for phoning, for games, I changed rom often on Desire S, watch videos (TV series too), listen to music, social networking, e-mails, and so on. Like it was a laptop!
I think you should go ahead for the one s the sensation is getting somewhat old..
I found sense on this phone a little bit slow/laggy however everything else is good except battery life and horrible speaker... And of course death grip.

More cons for Sensation:
The antennas are integrated into the back cover, which is removable. This translates into crappy signal in fringe areas.
Wifi deathgrip is very prominent when covering the top of the phone. Landscape browsing? Better learn to hold your phone with one hand or your fingertips.
I've learned to accept my Sensation's flaws, so I'll live with it until contract is up. But if I was buying something new right now, it definitely wouldn't be a Sensation. Probably jumping to the Samsung side next year.

Its funny how a few ppl are talking about he should get a Samsung. I wouldn't do it. All their phones feel so cheap and flimsy. There is one Samsung I will get and it the galaxy nexus and that's only cause it a nexus, it also helps Google is selling it unlocked for $350. If I was the op I would get that or an amaze. I love the sensation but I know there is alot better out. I know the amaze is only slightly better but for me it has more ram and faster hspa. The one s is very fast but the non removeable battery, amoled and no SD card really kills it for me

Gonna throw this out there right now, it's my reason for NOT getting a One S... My niece got one like three weeks ago... Spilled a TINY bit of water on it and since it has no removable battery, etc.. She dried it IMMEDIATELY, turned it off and placed it in a bag of rice... Worked okay, however, the internal memory was DESTROYED... It would corrupt the system all of the time and so forth, long story short... She ended up having to get it repaired. I will NEVER own a phone without a removable SD and battery now. (She was told by repair that it was damaged because even though she turned it off, since the battery couldn't be taken out there was still a current running through it.)

I'm gonna tell you this right now, I've got a Sensation 4G and I'm using the XE back with one less antenna and I have had NO death grip issues. I'm not just saying that, I've had the best signal with this phone opposed to any of my others. (Maybe the others were REALLY crappy? Lol.)
Anyway, I just got a replacement Sensation sent out to me from T-Mobile. It'll get here Monday. They offered me the One S for free and I turned it down. (They said I could call back if the new Sensation doesn't work out.) However, I really feel the Sensation will be the phone that I stick with until HTC comes up with something new.
Ganesh, the sensation does have the death grip issue. I've had one for the last 1 year and can confirm that first hand. I just love the phone but a few niggles pointed out by users on this forum like the death grip, horrible battery life etc are very much existent.

The Sensation is a great phone fonpacific, as is the One S. They both have their flaws, all phones do. Personally, I think you'd be better off with the Sensation till HTC comes up with something better that has a removable battery and microsd.
That's the other thing about the One S... I forgot... It's advertised as 16gb but you only get like 7-8 usable for pics/vids/music. (My niece was SO upset about this.) I've got a 64gb card in my phone.

Gosh! That's the reason why I hated my Desire S! Though I learned to live with it, I'd like to keep far away from such devices...
Thank you for answering in my shoes!
My Desire S died after it tried to snorkel in the sink...
After this last comment I'm inclined towards the Sensation XE, but the death grasp.... It's an hell of a decision!

Well actually the sgs3 is made of the same plastic the one s is made off. I can't say anything about the sgs3 but the one s and one x feel really great and well made. Maybe Sammy stepped up their game idk

I apologize if there have been threads like this in the past, search is currently down.
I, wondering if the three sensation models' (Sensation, TMO 4G, and XE) are all interchangeable. I'm going to be getting a cracked screen t-mobile sensation tomorrow (if all goes well) and I definitely want the replacement digitizer to be unbranded, or maybe an XE one just to throw in some special flair.
Will that work? I would think so as they're all three the same phone just branded differently, but I just need to be absolute sure before I shell out the cash for a replacement.
Thanks guys!
I've stayed on the Sensation spot if the XDA-Developers forum for quite a while now. I've seen people with Tmo digitizers getting replaced with unbranded ones. Not sure if anybody has done it with the XE digitizers.
You should go take a look at that thread named "Broken digitizer? look here" because it's not a branding issue if I recall correctly but there are specific digitizer models and people had trouble when they happened to get a replacement part but wasn't the same number as that of the broken digitizer.
Good luck :good:
My XE would not work properly with a standard sensation digitizer.

Alright, so I should just go with the standard unbranded?
I don't really like the red keys anyway so that works for me

I wish I had seen the above thread before ordering an unbranded digitizer. I have a Tmo US 4g and I just replaced my digitizer over the weekend with an unbranded one and it's horrible. The phone is barely usable. I have a branded "OEM" one on the way now. Hopefully I have better results with it.
