HTC Sensation users, what will your next device be after Sensation?
For me it will probably be a Samsung phone possibly the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5, unless HTC puts out a solid, well build and thought device with consistent quality materials across their devices.
I did realized that HTC Said that they'll cut down in the amount if phones they put out since they realized they were not focusing on one phone and therefore why so many flaws in their last models.
Example: two screen manufacturers.
What will be your next device?

Definitely another HTC. Maybe the Ville.

iPhone 5, because I've already owned Androids(the Sensation is my second one), Blackberries, and Windows Phone but I never owned an iPhone & I always want to try new phones after a period of time.
P.S. I love Android phones the most & this Sensation is the best one I ever used (besides the sucky battery life).
Depends on what HTC brings out, I dunno if the Ville will be enough to bring me over
Well since I am on t-mobile my choice is limited since they never have the best phones out.
I will probably get whatever htc <4.3 inch screen phone is out
Definitely getting the GS3...I hope its quad core

STRICTLY the Nexus device....
I honestly dont think I will ever buy a non vanilla Android device again. The "features" the carriers/manufactures load up ruin the experience and limit the people who care to develop for the device.

As much as I hate samSUCK I think I might have to agree. I really wish HTC made the Nexus devices...
My wish list:
- size of the Desire or something in between the Desire & Sensation.
- hard buttons like those of the Desire.
- quadcore
- powerful battery to last.
- beats tech or better of the Sensation XE
Thats it. Not much to ask from HTC huh?
Maybe the HTC Ville
as long as its dual core with 768mb of ram or more and a nice 5 inch screen ill buy it.
softkey only devices for me
quad core definitively
HTC first priority altho i want it to have AOSP & Sense Roms lol were having a really tuff time bringing AOSP ICS
if not ill go with the next nexus, 5MP camera stopped me from getting it really
This time, I'm going to for an Samsung device, none of those horrible dust issues, and I really want to own an phone with an AMOLED screen.
Quad core isn't needed. I think a strong dual core (think at least 1.5Ghz) with a >3000mAH battery and a screen between the sensation and note with proper resolution (~720).
Am I the only one who thinks the AMOLED screens are overrated? I personally love this sensation screen and think it rivals the iphone, but the AMOLED samsung screens just look like the have a blue/purple hue over them..
anyone else planning on holding on to their sensation for another year at least, probably 2? Im thinking once CM9 comes out the phone will rock. I am not dropping another 500$+ on a phone until something that is truly next gen comes out
Waiting for MWC.. I really hope they have something up their sleeve..
I really like HTC but they need to bring out something top notch.
2011 wasn't a good year for HTC and they know it. They need to get back on top with one badass machine.

You're not the only one. I think they do look stunning but the colours are too rich IMO. This is one reason why I chose the Sensation over the GS2.
On a related note, I think the Galaxy Nexus is quite overrated. Apart from having a 720p screen and being a Google Experience device (and therefore having ICS), there isn't that much else that's amazing about it. Still a great phone but not worth the price (ATM).

Got Nexus (Prime) and have Sensation since day one. Honestly... I am not buying any other phone for next 2 years. When got the Sensation didn't see a big difference and should stick with XL... Anyhow, I don't think there could be added more "features" (unless you playing games).
As for the Nexus... Many people saying its crap, underpowered atc... IMO these people NEVER had Nexus except in their dreams. The Nexus performs superb.
So my answer is : no other phone for 2 years as my current phones are the very best...
Sony Xperia S looks pretty nice.

HTC build quality is much better, plus I'm an HTC loyalist. HTC phones always feel more solid and sturdy than the plasticky samsung phones. They're too light weight almost and feel like I could break them with my bear hands. I like the aluminum frame of the Sensation. I'm very happy with my sensation. SAMOLED screens are better in most cases, but I had a friend who owned a vibrant and that screen had an annoying blue tinge, as do most of the samoled screens I think. The screen I have has very pure whites and surprisingly dark blacks, and is fine in sunlight, especially compared to my old phone. I can read texts just fine in bright daylight, this screen is very bright. Plus the resolution is higher. I love the qHD screen.

Sgs2 is Samsung galaxy uhh woops. Its sg2 lol.
The sgs4g was the virbrant plus flash and 4g. Single core.
Sg2 is dual core.
I like sense and I have feeling sense will only.get faster with upcoming roms but if it doesn't seem to get much better I'm definetly going sg2.
I'm not saying sense roms are slow now. They are really fast. Just not lightening fast.

Why...
Are people on here so addicted to new tech that they will jump to another phone as soon as a new one comes out?
I got the phone I wanted on a 2yr contract knowing that in less than 6m it would be surpassed by something newer but not neccessarily better.
I like the Sensation and can't see me changing for the S2 espec as I would not be able to cover the cost of a sim-free version.
If I had wanted the S2 I would have got it and then lived with it for the life of my contract
The Sensation is not a perfect phone, but it's a darn good one (better than the iphone 3g) I came from.
I dont think the phone will be any faster than the sensation considering its not shipping with the exynos SOC/
So outta curiosity how truly good is cyanogenmod? Someone who really knows his stuff.
Cause I tried it on sensation just a bit ago and although yea it is quick it didn't blow me away. Went right back to sense.
Also deriving from what I mentikned up there I saw someone post something about a new nexus s being faster then cyanogenmod??
I mention this because one of my friends whose a girl and knows nkthig about phones had soooo much crap on the nexus s. It was the sprint version I believe. And with like three messaging apps all running, many different browsers, and seriusly a whole lotta crap the phone was sooooo fast.
I literally was stunned. It was stock and every single thing I did on it was instantaneous.
And u know when u see bunch of stuff in notification bar and u just kinda know it ll lag a bit. I felt that but was surprised with zero lag.
It sadly has me thinking...

The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, and that hits performance because the phone has to push data to more pixels; also the Sensation and SG2 have similar processors (as you pointed out) but the Sensation runs at 1.2 MHz and the SG2 runs at 1.5 MHz.
ROMs aside, the SG2 is faster on paper.

I agree with you I have always like the HTC build quality but performance wise they have been lacking and the debacle the caused with the so called Bootloader unlock then say screw you no warranty was the icing on the cake. I came from a Evo 4g to the Sensation to the Epic 4G Touch resolution not a problem for me. the performance and smoothness of the OS what's going to appeal to the OS faithful that may come running seeing that Apple decided to give them nothing. this year basically all this hype and they got what would be a 3GS to the 4g lol.

I will give you that. I love HTC Sense as well but I believe that as of right now its to bloated and holding back what the processor is really capable of.

well i got play with the Amaze a couple days ago and i can tell you for a fact that the processor is definately snappier in stock form , i was getting 2700 quadrant scores with it stock , now with that said i think the SGS2 will be alot faster running a more vanilla android, I am planning on getting a SGS2 and i cant believe im even saying that ,reason being is that the sensation is falling apart on me , the glass coverig my camera lens fell out and that wasnt a big deal to me until the rocker on the volume button fell off , now i dont know if flashing three thousand times already has something to do with it but im a little dissapointed by that. all being said i just want a bigger screen and thats the main reason plus it gets the better processor and front camera
Not me
I wanted an SGS2 bad enough to almost buy one from overseas unlocked when they first hit the market. But since Samsung decided to release it here last, there are new phones coming out before the end of the year that by far surpass the SGS2. America is the largest consumer of High-end smart phones (yes, i researched it) mainly because we constantly upgrade to the newest and best. Samsung was stupid to release it here last. If someone gave me an SGS2 in trade i'd do it, but it's not worth sinking more cash into a new SGS2 when quad-core is literally right around the corner. Plus phones like the Sharp Aquas and the Note (can't remember which company is making it) will be out in a few months and they surpass the SGS2 in speed, display, screen size, etc. (and these aren't event quad-core as far as the specs ive seen, but still better than the SGS2).
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I'll be waiting for a Quad-core device with Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus, the PS vita is quad-core and you can make calls from it Better than PS3 graphics in the palm of my hand! Talk about a gaming device! hahahahah
Time for my upgrade and looking for a new phone, should I wait a few months or go for the Galaxy Nexus> perhaps the blackberry bold 9900?? lol

The dual cores we have now are fast enough to run every game in the Market smoothly. Just don't go for a Blackberry. Those things are waaaay slower than any modern Android smartphone and there's less things you can do with them.

Sure, they can't do as much, but saying they're slower is biased. The 9900, the one he mentioned, is as fast as any high end android and faster than many others. Blackberries are for people looking for a specific set of features, let's not be mindless bigots.
i'd wait. nexus' are still expensive, and with the new phones coming out soon, it will drop in price significantly. it'll always be a catch-up game, like with anything else that is mass produced. there will always be better things in a few months. ultimately, it's up to you what you spend your money on.
To be fair, Blackberry is for business folks that are lost in a world of technology.
There will be a number of quadcore phones (by HTC, LG, Samsung, probably some others - of course all with custom overlays instead of pure ICS), announced at MWC in two weeks. And it will take some more time (in some cases even months I suppose) until you can buy them.
The next Nexus with a quadcore chip is almost a year away. So you must decide if you want a Galaxy Nexus (pure Android, fast updates, nice screen, NFC - but a mediocre camera and no SD card slot) or wait for phones like the Galaxy S3 with better hardware and an overlay.
But in terms of Sense, TouchWiz etc: If there is a phone with lovely hardware but an annoying skin, there's always the option to install CM9 e.g.
Wait for the HTC Endeavor (or Ville) !
id say go for the nexus, if some say dual core is an overkill, quad core is an over over overkill, concerned bout the battery

I might be wrong but shouldn't battery life actually be better with the Tegra 3? This is because of that 5th core that's used for less demanding tasks and the others 'come alive' when needed.
Sensation xl..
Just read that the Galaxy Nexus 32GB version may well not arrive. 16GB of memory fills up pretty quick with a few Gameloft games, some music, a couple of ROM's, some backups and data from other apps so do consider this when buying it.
If I were you I'd wait for some of the new devices.

From what I have experienced with my previous Tegra 2 phone is that NVidia are not open source which means they don't give out their source making it harder to develop.
Don't get me wrong though, Tegra is super powerful but developments wise, not so sure.
For these reasons I will say that Samsung might get more development support in 2012.

Absolutely right! HD2 is the most supported phone ever with 5 different platforms (windows mobile, windows phone, android, ubuntu and meego). So u say galaxy nexus? Are you crazy
I also had it and sold it to buy a sensation. It made me taste all these different os' with only one phone. Absolutely the best phone ever.. Thanks HTC and XDA
Excluding the HD2, I'd go for the GS3. The Galaxy Nexus will be well supported too.

Yeap, assuming that Samsung keeps innovating and assuming that they use their own processor and keep releasing their code source which btw, it is most likely a yes to all of the above , I think it will be the next big phone for development and consumers.
Samsung reputation in the mobile world went really high in 2011 and for what I have seen HTC and other companies could see themselves losing a lot of loyal customer if they don't step up their game.
Anyway, I don't deny the fact that the HD2 had been and still is one of the most supported devices but I am also stating that the Galaxy Nexus has the most active development going on at the moment.

For the following reasons:
Decent spec.

it's Samsung.
the kind of person who is going to buy that kind of hardware is likely to be passionate about it and probably going to want to make the best out of it (e.g.: Devs)

I was not aware the HD2 had so much support, but it's pretty much guaranteed that the Galaxy Nexus is and will be a safe bet. That said, I had the GN 16Gb, and I was not impressed with the hardware, at least from a cost standpoint. I switched back to the Sensation, half the price for very similar specs.

So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?
after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love
Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.
Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.
I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

Never had a Sony Xperia phone but have heard that they have some of the best optics and Sony is developer friendly. Too bad the good ones hardly come to the US.

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see
Quad core ? I hope you guys gonna hold whit you 20 extra batteries during your day ! dual core isn't good imagine quad core

I love HTC and I love Sense and I will be getting the One X on Sprint. The Galaxy Nexus looks appealing but the camera is garbage and since I have a 4 year old the camera is very important to me.

nice...
yea i guess u would need a heat sink or some kinda fan on the back of a quad core device too cool it down....
Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.
I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)

A lot of us here on XDA have been anticipating this phone's release. Turns out the specs are almost the same as our old MT4GS. Let your anger out here if you wish OR are some going for it anyways? Also, looks like Tmo USA is getting the Note 2. Are some gonna just hope on that instead? If any touch screen device can replace a QWERTY, its definitely the Note. Plenty of screen real estate for typing. What do you guys think?
UPDATE:
Seems like tmobile made a mistake. Surprise surprise!
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/t-mobile-confirms-snapdragon-s4-chip-inside-galaxy-s-relay-4g/
Still lacks a decent camera (I know MP don't mean everything. Lens quality and image processor matter much more.), extra ram, etc.... I may wait for the Note 2, the alleged 5 Nexuseseses, blah blah blah before deciding for sure. I still am enjoying my DS especially since CM9 runs butter smooth and flawless now
I don't see any advantage on this other than having support from tmobile & has official ICS ROM. Also does this have FM Radio? I only hunt phones with qwerty keyboard and FM radio prebuilt

I agree... guess I should have clarified in the op that the original guess/rumor was that this phone would have 720 HD 4" screen and a S4 processor. That's why I posted the release info cause it was such a downer plus a few of us had been waiting on confirmation here. I'm not sure if Samsung normally has FM radio though. I'm using stuff like Sirius XM/Pandora so I hardly touch that FM dial anymore. It seems like this is a lower mid range model instead of the SGSIII with a keyboard that it was rumored to be

galaxy S Series has FM Radios built into them that's why I asked.
difference in performance between s3 & s4 processors is just 15%. The 1GB RAM & 4inch display seems to be catchy but keeps me thinking if the 15% processing power + 250mb addin ram would convince me in spending another few hundred bucks?
The 4inch screen is a turn off for me I find 3.7 perfect already.
Also what about the camera?
And regarding NFC I don't find it very useful(at least in our country where most people are still stuck with no OS phones.
So... For me unless I render my phone unuseable or a new phone has something which would make a big difference compared to my current phone I guess I'll be sticking with my current one.

Hehehhe! I hear ya... I was more interested in the S4's power saving/gpu improvement vs the cpu performance. I've heard that range from 15 to 30% I guess it just depends on each application, really... I think 4" is the perfect size for a qwerty. I'd might even like to see bigger lol! (Probably would a huge ass brick, right?) Yeah, I don't know much about Samsung (had no idea about the FM on the Galaxy models) but as long as HTC keeps the attitude that qwertys are dead... Samsung is my second choice, I guess. I'm still liking my DS for now. My contract is up in October and this was gonna be my upgrade. Oh well... I'll hang around for the next or pick up that Note 2. NFC hasn't really picked up anywhere even in the old USA. Well, maybe a few of the bigger cities use them more so... I don't know.
I might still want to jump ship to the Samsung slider.

Since my MT4GS is less than 1 year old, I'm going to wait until the next Nexus debuts. I've decided that from now on I will only buy Nexus products. I'm sick of the bull**** from HTC and other manufacturers and their lame-ass excuses for not producing an update. HTC can suck my ***. I will miss Sense UI, though. I'm one of the few, it seems, that prefers how Sense works and looks.
I will probably getting the Note. Now that my phone got bricked about two months ago by the faulty recovery and all HTC has been doing of late is churning out excuses instead of making updates for this device.
I will shelve my brick so it works as a reminder that I shoudl never buy another HTC device again.

Thanks for the PM. I understand. I am actually just disappointed in HTC for making devs jump through so many hurdles to get anything done on this device, and further frustrate them by not releasing source. The only reason why their sales are suffering is because they don't listen.
I have been reading up on the problem and looking through the forums to see what other devices used to fix this problem. And with Samsung it was simply restocking with odin or using heimdal tool.
I will definitely be sending it because I love its camera to bits. It really takes good photos. Once my friend put his OneX up against my MT4GS and it ended up taking better close ups than the OneX because it seemed to have a better auto focus.
I will be saving up for the first note to replace my G2(which has seen better days) if I manage to get this fixed.

I'd say the Photon would be the qwerty to beat, but our camera sorta owns most, if not all, mobile devices right now.

This device is pretty epic. I can live with a 5mpx camera no problem. It's a really nice looking device. I've grown tired with Sense, and HTC in general. BUT Walmart is now selling the TMO version on GSII. It's off contract, and only 300 bucks. That's a deal.
update!
Hmmm... Seems like the specs are conflicting still. Check this out: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T699DABTMB-specs It clearly shows the MSM8260A as the processor type which is a S4. Confirm that here: http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon However, David (tmonews editor) is still claiming that both his press releases (tmobile and samsung) show the device having the S3. Someone screwed up big time lol! I feel that only a S4 makes sense at time but I guess its still a mystery?!
I am very interested in this new keyboard Galaxy, hopefully an GalaxySIII variant with S4 or Tegra3 chipset.
two key reasons: the Doubleshot is a rare device and never sold outside USA, so here in the UK I'm living on luck in terms of support of UK/European 3G operators.
secondly: five row keyboard.
also hoping for good performance without battery compromise. I am actively using my DShot for about three hours a day (starting about 7:30am over breakfast, on the bus into work and back, and a while in the evening before bed at 11:30pm) and the battery is usually exhausted!
If you're still using the stock battery that's at least part of the problem. If you were to get an Anker or Mugen battery and run a debloated version of the stock ROM so you could keep your original camera and it's functions you'd really see a difference. I sure did.
Having a 5 row qwerty again sure would be nice.

imo, the only reason why the DS didn't do so well is because HTC didn't release an international version.
Well people would have complained about the keyboard, but eventually would have gotten used to it.

Totally relevant! It's nice to see my old brothers in the G2 section lol! And I couldn't agree with ya more... this device would have been huge with the dual core processor qwerty and bad ass camera (that is STILL one the best around!)
It will be quite some time, before dev action pics up on that device (if ever). So jumping into that phone right now would be a bad idea, unless you want to dev.
It's been a little more than a year since the DS came out, and we now have many roms to choose from. So think of how long this will take
Does anyone know if the internals of this new phone are based on the internals of another Galaxy phone? That would make porting a lot easier and also speed up devving.
But by the looks of it, I am liking this phone design a lot. Has everything I need, including a trackpad. Now, as long as they keep the physical size down, I may consider getting one.

The phone is not yet released so can't really say. But judging by the hardware specs. It looks like a SGS II.
Regarding development support... There's already SGS III which obviously is 1 fold greater than this device + relay 4g is also a tmobile exclusive. I don't see any samsung devs downgrading just to support this device(except maybe dedicated community devs like cyanogenmod etc.). For all I know the only persons which will be attracted on this device are keyboard enthusiasts like me. But I just got a mt4gs & relay 4g isn't that of a big difference with mt4gs anyways. So I'll pass on this phone for now. And if ever I decided to go samsung with qwerty I would rather choose samsung captivate glide instead. At least the specs are far more superior than relay 4g.
Tegra 2 = Cortex A9 Processor
Snapdragon S3 = Cortex A8 Processor
It's like a 1.5ghz celeron processor vs a 1ghz Pentium 4
And by the way Samsung captivate glide isn't even officially supported by cyanogenmod. So relay 4g being a much lower spec'd device do you think they'd get alot more support than captivate glide?
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4914&idPhone2=4071
See what I mean? Captivate glide is also getting official ICS upgrade anyways.
