Stick with sensation or amaze? - General Questions and Answers

So I'm getting an amaze on Tuesday and I'm back and forth to keep it over my sensation here is my dilemma, obviously the amaze specs wise is a better phone there is no question faster data speeds which I seen from doing side by side test with my friends amaze, better camera, more storage, better front cam, NFC, bigger battery. Now most people by now are thinking its a no brainer, but there is a downside, there are very few devs on the amaze forum I'm back to sense 3.0, ics seems a bit farther from daily driver status no where near the sense tweaks are available. I'm really stumped because I made the mistake of letting my hd2 go before it got really good with all the Roms there are to flash now, android, wp7 etc, n I'm afraid to do the same with the sensation now since there is a lot of devs supporting this phone what do you guys think? Oh and also there is no s-off for the amaze the bootloader can be unlocked through HTC but no s-off.

No WIFI calling on Amaze yet, that is a shame too, t Mobile signal can be **** in my condo.
Amaze has that annoying kid, Revolution the kanger, he is a big reason I haven't checked out an Amaze.

Lol that annoying kid? The devs are good actually but just not as much as far as I know xboarder, nrgz28, crackeyes, some guy from the epic forum and revolution, WiFi calling is no deal breaker because the devs already got it working on the amaze Roms actually and I also don't need WiFi calling I got 4g all the way from home to work and most areas I am usually at

How do you feel about sense?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I like it it only leaves speed to be desired but some of the features it provides are quite useful I perfer it over cm7 or aosp. I always tend to like the manufacturers UI improvements I mean I bought a Samsung for touchwiz and a sensation for sense, that may change with ICS but I've yet to get a good taste of what ICS is like fully functioning

Dedicated camera button and extra ram. That's it. Personally I'll stick with Sensation until cm7 or cm9 are available for gs2 or amaze.

HTC will eventually make a phone with a high quality camera, it is still not as good as the iPhone can yet.

Every single is great. You go the pop up SMS. You got themes. You got smoothness. You go no sense. You got opinion of launcher. And the world is open for more.

Should I exchange it?

So I bought the sensation for T-Mobile yesterday. After coming home with it I saw news of the HTC amaze 4g coming out in a few days. Should I exchange it for it? Is it worth the extra money? Thoughts?

I agree. I love the sensation but the amaze just has better specs. Its everything I wish the sensation was from the get go
Do you guys know if there will be a restocking fee? Also I just bought a case and the anker battery off amazon...what a waste of money. I wish I knew about the amaze earlier

I think the Anker will work in the amaze. Case not so much.

Sensation is really good but not perfect. I still have problems with random reloads and screen shots. Get better phone, amaze or galaxy s2.

what about for the s2
I would trade for the T-Mobile S-II in a heart beat.
I would keep the phone for you. I just traded the mytouch 4g slide for sensation 4g. And I like it but I also like the mytouch 4g slide also. so it was a hard decision to make cause really there the same phone inside so your not losing much there. Just think about it do what's best for you. Tell you the truth the guy that I traded with also wants the sensation back but I don't like Indian traders. It's only a phone so do you and get back to us and tell us how it's going

Ok now i wanna trade the for s2

I'm talking about Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC amaze. No one would ever trade you for those devices. Sensation is a different story.

Actually its fact. Both those phone a superior in every aspect vs this device. If someone would trade you the device is most likely stolen or broken. So ya. Who knows one idiot with no techinal knowledge might trade you. And I almost forgot, for sale items in general section is against xda forum rules, mods have been notified.

Are we ever gonna have touchwiz

Are we ever gonna have the full touchwiz ROM on the sensation
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Why would you want either touchwiz or sense?, just go with stock Android, that's where the good stuff is.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
i hope not. touchwiz sucks
the best UI besides stock would be sense

If you wanted touchwiz why didn't you buy GSII?

I just want to see how touchwiz works and is it smooth or not
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I have found HTC Sense far more beautiful, better and smoother then Samsung's TouchWiz UI..
If you want to experience TouchWiz, its better to buy any TouchWiz enabled Samsung mobile.
i can't find the dislike button
I like the touchwiz on the gs3 that's why I wanna see if we could get it for the sensation

no we wont, its owned by samsung and its closed source same as sense is. chances are very unlikely...

Then I wish you good luck but honestly its not worth the effort. Have you seen the number of sense ports to other manufacturers handsets around? They are not anywhere close to being stable and its going to be the same story here, you will probably get something booting, maybe with calls and WiFi, but I doubt Bluetooth, data, camera and 99% of other things

I'm sorry saying this but why are so many people up to this touchwiz UI? It might be just me but I think it feels so cheap, quickly drawn up cartoon UI with some ugly icons... No offence at all, do not get me wrong! I know many people like touchwiz and we have launchers and themes ...etc but I still swear to pure android UI or sense by htc. I did try many samsung devices including the S3 and the Note range as well but I just don't feel I could live with that after I owned 2 htc handsets. In my opinion there are reasons people are buying htc phones and one of them is the sense UI. But anyway, Good luck with porting this, if you succeed that proves how amazing the sensation developers are!
Flash any flavour of CyanogenMod 9 or 10, then download TouchWiz theme from the market.
