I've decided that my next phone will be a HTC sensation, but what if we could buy a HTC sensation xe back cover, use it on an original sensation, then BAM! Red speaker grill, black back cover and beats audio logo printed on. That coupled with a custom ROM that gives you a beats audio profile will give you a sensation identical to a sensation xe except for the red LED lights and the higher capacity battery( you could buy high capacity battery).
So, what do you think?
I thought this was obvious? Lol
But yeah, I hope I can get a XE cover soon, I want to make the current one brushed aluminum

Had this idea as soon as I saw sensation xe, unfortunately haven't been able to find any back covers for sale
As soon I get the chance, I will do it!
I've heard it won't work. Something to do with the pins or the antenna on the back covers being different. But don't take my word for it lol

I think thats just the T-Mobile USA it applies to, as the antenna is different on the Sensation 4G

Go to ebay uk search 'htc sensation xe back cover' its the 8th or 9th one down it says 'ORIGINAL OEM HTC SENSATION XE BEATS AUDIO BLACK REAR BACK DOOR BATTERY COVER' It might be from hong kong but its a start, only £30 too!
i've been thinking about how to do this with a tmous sensation... and this is what i've found.... the XE back has a spot for the 4g contact... what do you guys think?
You can always purchase the new XE cover from ebay and pop off the top plastic piece and replace it with your original one so you can retain the antenna. The camera ring also pops off. The only difference would be the plastic will be two-tone from the bottom piece like the original sensation.

I guess check if the contacts are in the right place on the pics

My Sensation is a Z710a (Australian model) It doesn't have the contact on the top left but does use 4G. It used to show a H but since changing to Coredroid, it shows 4G. (it also shows up as a Z710e now)If that missing contact is supposed to be the 4G antenna, how am I using 4G?
Also, what are the small contacts on the left about 2/3rd's of the way down? mine has 3
Hey whats up guys! I have T-Mobile and just got my White HTC Sensation housing from ebay. It came with only 3 antennas but just so you know, I still get 4G, Wifi and GPS. It works perfect! Also it actually got rid of the grip of death issue as well.
Heres some links...

nice time for me to get one as well
Hey guys,
how's it going Sensation-ers ?
as it reads, I wanna buy one of them, is the XE worth the extra money?
plus, will Sensation ROMs work on the XE?
btw, i used to be a Galaxy S user, then stupidly enough I bought HTC Titan .. WP7 suck! , big time, failure on both fronts, fun and practicality !,, just an awesome OS design.
If you go Android,, you never go back ! ... Testified !
Thanks
From what i have read they are basically same and there is ROM for Sensation that turns Sensation into Sensation XE?!
BTW, I'm having the same question as you! Sensation XE is 33 eur more expensive than regular Sensation, but comes with good quality headphones i read somewhere? So are that headphones worth 33 eur if everything else is same? Have XE also stronger battery?
Can someone help us to solve this dilemma please?

how about the screen ?? ,, is it as washed as they say in reviews? I'm asking cause i know when you using it daily it's not the same .. so how's it from your point of view?
I have the XE and the screen looks great, although there is some text ghosting when scrolling through settings menu etc. Nothing that concerns me though.

There are 2 type of screen. If you got the AUO acer, then you got the vivid, pinkiest color, gosting issue and no wash a way screen. But if you got Sharp screen, you got screen with no vivid or pinkiest and gosting issue, but you got wash a way screen. Search thread about the two type screen on general section and you will understand it.

Hi - anyone bought one of these, I know there is a White cover thread, but anyone bought the black one with beats audio?
Does it fit the original HTC Sensation? Anyone have pics they can share?

That's for the Sensation XE. Would it even fit/be compatible?
It will work with the regular Sensation, but not the Sensation 4G

There's a standard 3G Sensation?
I thought there was the Sensation which was the Sensation 4G, the XE and the XL.

Are you sure about that? I thought whatever fits the xe should fit the T-Mobile sensation 4g aswell

Yes.
There's the Sensation (The original one), Sensation 4G (for the US), Sensation XE (The beats version of the original) & Sensation XL (Bigger screen, slower processor)

The Sensation 4G has an extra antenna in it to be able to use 4G. (Meaning there's an extra connector on the inside of the battery cover)
The Sensation & Sensation XE are both 3G only phones.

but the sensation "4g" is really just 3g, its HSPA+. I thought I read somewhere that the missing antenna has no effect whatsoever on reception/data.
isnt the sensation xe 4g as well? so shouldnt it work?

Nope.
It's 3G like the regular Sensation.
It will fit on a Sensation 4G but like i said, one of the antennas won't connect to it like the rest.
I've seen a few people say that it doesn't make much difference, but others have said it means that you hardly get any signal. Have a look at some threads that talk about both phones and make a decision based on what you read.
I've had that beats cover on my phone for the last few weeks. I have a TMobile Sensation 4G. It works just fine with it
Any pictures of the black beats cover?
So it does work good on your tmoblie 4g

Isn't the regular sensation called the sensation 4G? That's what t-mobile calls it at least

I have the white one and I get great 4g coverage and GPS wifi still works great. The best thing I can think of is that I don't have creaking on the bottom left anymore. The case fits better

Link for purchase?
Just to confirm, I currently own a Sensation XE and am on T Mobile USA. My son has a Sensation 4g. While true, the Sensation 4g case does have an extra connector in its back plate, I have swapped the back plates and was able to connect to T Mobile's network instantaneously with both.
I wouldn't worry about if I were you.
Ask yourself this..Is it really worth spending $30 on a back cover? I mean if your back cover is missing, then yeah its worth it. Otherwise not so much.
Although it does look pretty cool
haha, i have to agree, my back cover is chipped so bought a replacement on ebay for 13.99, just plain black.
now if the beats logo one was around $15 shipped, i would buy it but not for these $25-$30+ range

Hey everyone,
i've been on these forums for years now and only just have decieded to make an account. Appreciate all the hard work.
Now I had a question as you can see from the title. Will the sensation XE door work on my normal sensation? I was thinking since we have our antenna's in the battery doors.
Thanks!
yes, they are compatible
There is an extra set of contacts on the 4g back covers ...don't know if thats anything important...on side with speaker

I have a Tmobile usa 4g sensation.
I wonder if a htc sensation xe back cover will work.
I know there is a lot of posts but i cant get a definite answer.
Any help would be appreciated
go to the htc website and check out the measurement of the phone, and that should help you, i noticed that the xe and the standard version in the uk are the same measurement. i dont think htc would make to different size version of the phone... who knows.... i hope i could be off help
From what i know the 4G versions have 4 antennas on the back casing... The one i have only has 3 (im in UK) so no 4G for me (Vodafone don't support it anyway)
So providing the new back cover has all 4 antenna then I would assume it would work.
Works for me, I have tmo, and the white senny battery cover
Yes it will work fine for u...I have a sensation xe case on my sen.4g and have no problems at all
