Regarding ICS Roms, particularly InsertCoin and ARHD, does it make a difference if you flash the XE or the Non-XE versions?
Can I flash the XE Version onto my T-Mo Sensation 4g? I am assuming that I could do that and not run into a whole lot of major problems, but I am curious what the actual difference is between the two.
It could just be changing the "identity" of the phone itself? Like when you use the market and what not?
Thanks in advance for any info on the subject.
(for the record, I went ahead and flashed the Non-XE version anyways just in case)
XE had beats
Non XE had SRS
That's it ^^

So then essentially I can just flash either one, as long as it matches the firmware I flash?
Sounds good to me lol
Hardware difference
So to clarify, is 'beats' hardware or software? I thought I read that on XE versions, normal headphones wouldn't work, that you needed special 'beats' headphones. This lead me to believe that there was a hardware difference, but its just a guess.

No, I don't think there is any hardware difference i.e. the Beats feature is purely software.

Dear sensation users,
In the next month i'm gonna change phone.
I think it's gonna be the Sensation XE because of the STARDARD large battery (I have read the batteries from evo 3d etc work) + all the gimmics
Do you guys think that the sensation roms will work on the XE? (i wan't to besure that i can flash leedroid and revolution)
Will HTC upgrade the HBOOT so Revolutionary won't work and we can't flash roms?
If these questions are too early to be answerd i will wait till the xe wil be released...
Thanks in advance!
I'm sure there will be devs to work on the xe to call it a priority for them is farfetched.
From what I read the xe hardware speaker wise doesn't change from sensation 4g. Which is what makes devs like mike1986 capable of creating roms to mimic the dre beats.
This is just my opinion but if your going to change just for the battery. Keep this in mind with ny sensation running ARHD 3.6.1 with bricked kernel_0.91 ny battery is running 20 hours easily with normal use and 8 with constant WiFi.
I do however like the red and black myself.
although I would say that the sensation 4g is on everyone's mind as far as developments goes and it would be ill advised to get an xe at this point. Sort of a lateral move I guess I would say.
Just my thoughts.

Yes, they are physically the same phone. The only difference is the new colour & beats software

Q 24: Why my "4G" icon is gone from the status bar?
A: My ROMs are based on WWE HTC ROMs. It means that there is no "4G" icon but you have HSPA+ connection with "H" icon anyway.

I'm saying as opposed to the sensation xe I'm not speaking in anyway on any other device. Just sticking to the question
Just wanted to clarify
Hi, I have got brand new XE. It is a way cool phone. But the problem is that it is pretty laggy. Then I am scrolling menu, internet pages it is lagging. It is thinking (loading stuff) too long. One time it has even rebooted. I can't understand because everything is stock in it. No custom rom, kernel.
So I want to ask you guys if this ways is the one it suppose to work?
I was using Galaxy S2 before and it was perfect phone for me until it was stolen. It worked perfect, there was no lag. And now in this laggy Xe i can't feel no convenience.

This is xda. We flash our phones as quick as we can. Try to root your phone and flash some other roms.

Thanks for fast response. I know what the main idea of XDA is. But the actual question is still the same. Is HTC putting laggy phones to the market or is it mine phone faulty?
I would like to avoid flashing at this case. I want to keep guarantee. I am aware of loosing it..
Try a factory reset.

1)Phone isn't faulty
2)SGSII has GPU rendering or HW accel.
3)HTC hasn't optimized Sense yet to have HW accel
Sense has always been laggy on stock, this holds true since Sense made its debut on the hero; such a shame that 2 years later the issue is still present in 3.0 . IF you root the phone can be returned to stock too, I'm sure you will prefer the perf boost from root...I use IC(insert coin) and it's extremely fast at 702 w/ smartassV2, and there's a MOD for a super fast rosie to make the homescreen faster. However it's your choice to keep the XE on stock or return it for SGSII.
I just bought this xe 2 days ago..so far, did not notice any lag..yet..
Try factory reset..maybe it will fix it..

I guess ya right. SGS2 couldn't be compered as is has got acc. I was overclocled mine old sgs2 to 1.6ghz and ir was perfect. I thought that 1.5ghz of xe holds some serious power. Maybe it is. However, i really need to root it, its the only way to seek for it.
When I was on stock unrooted roms, I always depend on task killers to keep things smooth. Although it is said that gingerbread has its memory management. Hope it works for you. To each his own. Some feel stock is best. Cheers

You have a Sensation XE. Congratulations. If you want to get the best user experience out of it: flash a cooked ROM.
Whether it's due to sub-optimum policy of HTC or the superb qualities of the cooks on XDA doesn't matter. Enjoy your smartphone.
If you don't want read through tons of messages in order to find stable ROMs: MIUI and CM7 are not ready yet; Hypersensation offers a nice alternative; and in my opinion the best ROM that 'feels' close to stock is SenSEAY 2.1. It's clocked @1.2GHz, so it's not the fastest, but it has zero issues and full functionality. But even at that relatively lower speed it is definitely smoother (=feels faster) than stock (updated OTA to *.4).
best regards
and enjoy (=don't stay sad too long over the loss of your Galaxy SII)
I can't say that my XE is laggy, I'd do a reset as mentioned above.
Hi all! My first post in xda developers forums.
Anyway, I'd like to ask about rooting regarding the Sensation XE. I've seen the tutorials on the forums as well as other sites, and most of them seem to say that rooting on XE is very similar to rooting the normal sensation since both of them have the same software. (with XE just having bigger battery, beats audio etc.)
However, some of my friends are saying that rooting an XE the sensation way gives the phone some problems. For example, he stated that certain functions such as bluetooth, 3G and/or hardware control would be missing, and I would have to choose a custom ROM. (which I don't want to do at this stage)
So, given that many of you here have messages sent from a sensation XE, I'd like to know how true my friend is. Can the XE be rooted the sensation way? Or if not, how else could it be done?
Many thanks in advance! ;D

First, on a slightly unrelated note, you'll probably find that quite a few messages that are signed from HTC Sensation XEs on this forum are actually people on regular HTC Sensations running Android Revolution HD, which effectively makes the phone think it is a Sensation XE. Which is pretty much the truth. The hardware is absolutely identical, minus the battery.
Anyway, back to your question; rooting the Sensation XE, as far as I know, is identical to rooting the Sensation. The only things that differ are the version codes and model numbers. ROMs in the Development Forum work completely interchangeably between the two models.
Go to the development forum, find the reference post on everything regarding superCID, rooting and gaining S-OFF, and follow every step as close as possible, and you will be fine. Pretty much guaranteed.
And head back here if you get stuck at any point.

Hi all,
I seem to be having a problem no one here has ecnoutered, since I've pretty much searched everything and found nothing. Hopefully someone is experiencing the same and maybe even has the solution
Okay so here it goes:
Currently running 6.6.1 NON XE with faux kernel 003 mainline. Everything running smooth, no problems at all. I have also tried 6.5.5 XE and non XE and 6.6.0 all with faux and sebastian kernels. So everything works fine with all roms, except when i make a call using non-stock headphones, without built-n microphone, with the XE rom i can hear myself and all background noise through the headphones. This only happens with the XE rom. When I flash Non XE I don't have this problem.
I'm assuming it has something to do with the minijack configuration in the XE rom, but I might be wrong and I would like to have Beats audio, but not if this causes background noise during phone calls. Just to clarify: It's like an echo, but almost instantly. Very annoying when you're talking with someone.
Thanks in advance.
Come on fellers...help this member with some valuable information
Cheers,
HTC has really gone nuts; they won't give us JellyBean and they encrypted the JellyBean RUU of other portable devices like one S, just to make sure we do not get jellybean on our sensation.
Is there a forum where sensation owners can bombard them with 'dislike' maybe they will change their stupid minds. They want to start behaving like apple even though we are android users.

They won't give us Jellybean - Well thats pretty much to be expected. HTC's method operation seems to be that the phone ships with the current version of Android, and it'll get an update to the next version. After that you're on your own! The only device I can think of that breaks this rule is the Desire, and that Gingerbread update was only via an RUU...
Another thread about JellyBean and HTC are crap? I reckon this is getting locked, there are several already.

Agreed, it's not hard to find those threads anyway, generally they sit right around the top of the Sensation General forum
I can't help thinking though, the amount of time and effort that folks are putting into (fairly ineffectively) trying to convince HTC to release JB for the Sensation is time and effort just as easily spent getting a custom JB ROM up and running for themselves
The issue is not that JB is unavailable for the Sensation guys, it's that you just don't have access to a bloated, branded, messy OTA from your respective carrier :silly:
