[Q] Sensation vs XE - HTC Sensation

I'm aware that the phones have the same hardware, just want to know that if I buy a stock sensation, will I be able to use beats and stuff through a ROM, just losing the charming red capacitive keys ? Thanx a lot!

If you flash an XE-based ROM, yes

Have a look at Android Revolution HD 3.6.8
It converts your sensation into XE.

There are a lot of ROMs that based on XE with fully beats audio.

Just last night at geekaphone.com I was reading that the XE doesn't have assisted GPS, I wasn't awared that this was hardware, other than this even though battery is bigger and internal memory is a little more and beats, I don't see the point of getting it.

Hardware sensation and sensation xe

Do you change HTC Sensation hardware with respect to HTC Sensation XE or two mobiles have the same hardware?
Sorry for my bad english
Same hardware, higher clock for the CPU (1.5ghz vs 1.2 on regular Sensation), 4GB internal memory (vs 1GB on regular Sensation), slightly bigger battery (1730mAh) and Beats mod on the music player...
thanks, the roms of the Sensation XE can apply to my Sensation?
Dunno, XE hasn't been released yet, just announced. We'll see
Edit :
Here's some development on the matter : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261911&page=2
Both have 4GB internal storage, you just can use about 1.3GB.
Due to the fact I am happy with my Sensation and there are no real improvements (beside the cpu-clock), I wont change.
Maybe I will buy the XE cover (I like the design) or the bigger battery.
The beatsmod should be software, too - so we can wait for a custom rom.
According to official htc sensation xe page, hardware are exactly the same except for the bigger battery, red highlights back-cover and beats earphones. Oh, and faster rom.

Edit: I also see red capacitive buttons
Is this why HTC under-clocked the original Sensation, so they could release a 1.5 GHz version and say "look we made a new phone?"

I think it was because of the battery. Now when the new one has a bigger battery, they can use normal speed

Not sure if I buy that it was the battery.
1) HTC could have included a bigger battery with the original Sensation.
2) 1.5 GHz doesn't actually use that much more juice since the processor only runs at that speed under high load.

settings say 1.5GHz, but actual speed is still 1.2.
I would say both phones are the same ... but the XE-edition has a bigger battery-capacity + improved HTCMusik.apk ... oh and the phone color is red ...
You can compare it to samsung galaxy s gorgio armani .. it has just a special look
true...wish it was 1.5ghz!
get a red marker pen, buy the ear-in headphones, overclock your cpu and there you are.......sensation xe

The new RUU works with the normal sensation?i was afraid to brick my phone, so i didnt try it i guess revolutionary still works, because its the same bootloader or am i wrong? i dont want to lock myself out
It's the same phone but they dipped the metal bits in red.
what about the speaker? still dre ? .. sorry still the same as in normal Sensation?

beats audio on sensation rom

im am not fully understanding the whole beats audio thing with the new revolution 3.6.x rom.does this actually load software in the phone that makes the phone have this actual feature or is it just there as something to show off to people.im just not understanding it because i thought that one would have to have all other types of internal equipment to add an audio system to a phone.
Well I think its some fancy set of equalizer maybe alithrograms that the music runs through (software side)
I assume on the sensation XE it has the beats amp built into the phone
So really yes you do have beats but only the software side of things
If that's the case you could pretty much get the effects using DSp manager with something like poweramp and vet close if not better sound
Hope this was helpful, I'm going to bed now lol

No.

its basically a software thats included on a rom. if you were to flash any of the roms without beats onto the xe, you would lose beats. this is basically a scheme that htc came up with to promote beats audio. all in all, xe is only a sensation clocked to 1.5 which is what the regular sensation is supposed to be on, and a bigger battery with more red accents
Sensation XE does not have ANY DIFFERENCE from the orignal Sensation ( unless you count cosmetic differences. ) Beats is only software side. Dont fret it.

[Q] video graphics lag

hi...........
i used many ICS sense 3.6 roms and in all rom i have noticed a lag while playing a 720p video..........and games also have video lag...........
how to solve it ????????
please help
I haven't seen this bug, however I would guess that with the system still being Beta, this has something to do with it.

Yeah it's probably due to the 'beta status' of the ROM's.
You might just have to wait for the final release for it to be fixed.
but even 2 mb games gets stuck on this versions
It could also be to do with the qHd of the screen. I know this sounds rather strange, but if you try using a game such as NinJump, you'll find that the application completely locks up. This is due to some applications not supporting the display and I would certainly double check that this isn't the issue you are experiencing.

For video games, disbale force gpu option in development setting.
It depends what you want, but custom roms tend to be better. You have almost unlimited support and the freedom of being able to switch to and from New features.

is skype working in htc sense 3.6 ????

6.6.7 revolution hd w 3.6 sense

Dont they make a regular 6.6.7 and a 6.6.7 xe?what's the differences in the 2 roms.and don't 1 come with beats audio? They both have sense 3.6?so none of Mike's roms have sense 4.0.I'm just trying to figure out the differences and which ones more stable with everything working on them like WiFi,etc.I'm unable to try them all right now because my Internet is down so I can't download them all.any information would be appreciated.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Both roms are incredibly stable, great battery life, the only difference between the 2 is beats audio. The xe has the beats in it. However you can get beats on either with another flashable zip from the dev thread just have to dig for it.

HTC sensation xe radio sinal issues?

Hi everybody. I owned a HTC sensation some months ago. I mean that phone was great! Great size, performance, etc. The problem was The radio signal. I live in an area where the signal is not that good. I had a lot of problems.
My question is if the XE has the same problems. I really love the phone. If there weren't any problems with the radio... the problem I read are the contacts of the aerial which is part of the back cover of the phone in the original sensation. Does the XE have that problem too?
Thanks in advance!

I have to say, YES.
The difference between sensation and the xe are : xe got beats audio, overclocked cpu to 1.5ghz, and larger battery 1730 mah. The others are just the same with the sensation, even the signal issue.
