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.

Hey Guys
Thinking of coming from my old Galaxy S to a HTC Sensation. But there seems no forums for this device ! Can I use the ROMS here on the XE or not? I know it may be biased but there pretty much the same and I prefer the look of the XE plus those Earphones and sound! Is it worth the money to go for the XE model? and where can I find a forum to flash and root ect
Thanks
Kind Regards

Hi,
The two phones are essentially the same in the hardware department.
You can get all the information in this forum.
You can flash the same ROMS . S-off and root is done the same way HERE.
Whether or not you should spend the extra on the XE,only you can decide to fall for HTC's outrageous marketing scam.
You get a larger battery and a excellent pair of headphones. Keep that in mind

Hope to join the community soon and get a HTC Sensation
the XE is overpriced and by the looks of things the normal
sensation can be overclocked and preform the same if better!
I got the xe and tbh no different now the the guru's can produce great Roms you.end up replacing the stock XE Rom anyway, and most people have the sensation on here.

If you use your own headphones or have a separate music player and you are willing to buy the larger capacity battery (or anker) then yes go with the original sensation.

I like the sleek black look of the original Sensation more, but like the XE's official beats implementation + headphones.

IMHO the difference between the Sensation and Sensation XE is just the urBeats earbuds, ROM, battery and the battery cover - all swappable!
Where I am, the XE is now coming right down in price, to the level where it might be cheaper to buy the XE and sell off the urBeats earbuds, if money's really tight.
Otherwise, the regular Sensation is probably easier and cheaper to buy upfront and you can get the white Sensation XE with Beats battery cover if you like it, plus higher capacity battery etc when required.
These forums are great since we can get feedback on batteries, vendors etc and usually find the good upgrades.
I have the Sensation, white XE with Beats battery cover and am hoping to get it onto a reliable beta ICS ROM (once usable, HW accelerated and not crashy).
Let us know what you get!
I have a Sensation z710e - perfect condition/original box, flashed with ARHD rom to become an XE. Must admit the integrated music player is a bonus of the XE rom.
PM a price if your keen.

Agreed, the phones sound quality is pretty hot, and who can turn down a higher capacity battery with the voltage it's going to crank out...
XEbeats to be customised
Hey guys just a quick Q. My beats head phones that came with my xe have died does the headphones come with the same manufacturer warrenty that the phone is classed in? I bought brand new from eBay and didn't select warranty so just hoping the manufacturer warranty does. Also, if it does how would i go about sending them in?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this
heavy metal man
Just noticed I am in the general section, could someone move me please to q&a if it is more appropriate, thanks

Will HTC Sensation XE get official Jellybean support from HTC?
If it will, can someone please provide a source ? Has HTC confirmed Sensation XE support?
and if yes to jellybean
will it be sense 3.6 or 4.0?
nope
I think yes.
The official german htc Facebook Page told, that it will come!
I dont know, wich Sense but they said, it will Come
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Until we see an official statement, announced by HTC all these facebook and other site sources are just speculations and rumors. Jelly bean will come along with the new HTC One X+ and will also be received by the ONE X and ONE S first. After these devices are updated HTC might decide to do something with previous phones as well.

I doubt that page is an official HTC page, it says in the article that the link was posted that it wasnt an official statement.
I think no, mainly because Football says we wont and also because of some other reasons that I posted in the sticky thread in Sensation General.
It ever our phones will not have official jellybean. I might be thinking of rooting it after my warranty expires

Hopefully but not likely
i don't believe that there will be official support, but i found that some htc one s have snapdragon s3 processor (the same of htc sensation), so, when it will be updated to JB, probabliy there will be some kind of porting to our device
This is BS. I'm really struggling to think of a single good reason to stick with HTC when it's time to refresh my phone and this is a big reason why. Support for the XE was dropped hard after only a matter of months. Samsung's stellar market share rise is in part due to their much better support.
How can we trust HTC any more knowing if we buy another HTC phone, support will be dropped after 6 months and even that's pushing it? I bought my XE back in February this year when it was still a 'flagship' phone so I fell pretty cheated by HTC right now.
My wife currently has a HTC Desire Z (keyboard) and I'm moving her on to Samsung now, my experience with the XE being a big part of the reason why.
Not happy HTC! Why don't you just release a FEW phones and SUPPORT them rather than a gazillion un-supported phones of every possible variation? Didn't Nokia try that strategy? And look where it landed them, they are not even on the charts any more!
Well... I wrote to the support and they said: maybe, but for sure there won't be official Sense 4.x on sensation.
Sorry to say it's extremely doubtful, highly unlikely, that we will ever get official jelly bean. HTC had forgotten about the sensation. To them it's to old. They will just say our device can't support jelly bean or some B.S. like that. My guess is NO. NEVER. even though we're not yet two years old we are forgotten. I'm running a great jelly bean Rom right now thanks to our wonderful developers! Don't know what I'd do with out them!

Htc says on his official site that they will try to make it available for our phones and if they do they will bring with it 4.x sense. I hope so :fingerscrossed:

I seriously doubt it at this point. HTC have left the device behind and im just waiting for my warranty to expire before putting some JB roms on it.
in the philippines htc official facebook page. the htc is saying that they are currently working on a jellybean update for sensation. hoping its real
No there no way the sensation will get J.b.

I don't think so because the 4g version won't be getting it anytime soon so. I don't think the XE will
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app
If HTC drop support for what was a flagship device this quickly, I will never buy HTC again... Samsung all the way from now on!! I hope HTC pull their finger out and re-consider their policy of dropping support after six months, for the sake of their own survival.
Lame... Samsung all the way when I get a new phone... way to lose loyal customers you idiots..
Finally yes
I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "
I thought I didn't like sense at all and was always using Nova Launcher, until i rooted and flashed vipers from sense 4.1 and now I think i will miss if I go pure google.
The question is for those that don't like sense and are always rooting to get stock android..would you give up your beloved sensation for the nexus 4?..
Consider the specs updates and tempting low price tag it comes with.
I searched the forum but if someone already said this please delete thread ASAP!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda app-developers app
On our Sensations, we have the option of Sense or pure AOSP, so I would stick with the Sensation just for that flexibility. Every time I try and switch to the latest CM10 or other ROMs I end up coming right back to ViperS Sense, I love how all the features just work. And the Sense contact linking is great, my only gripe is the low-res contact pictures.
Without a second thought.
Why would I not trade a year and a half phone for a new phone that will get updates directly from Google? First of all, we don't even know if the Sensation will get JB.
And that's before specs are even considered.
I'm with you on this, I don't want to go back to the "pure google" experience. It feels to raw and the custom sense roms we have around are very good these days...
With the price being low on the Nexus 4, why not have both? That's what I'm doing
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Not even, what for? Dual boot if you want AOSP. Going back from sense is hard lol, truly

Nexus 4
I've always wanted a Nexus phone. I got my Nexus 7 tablet the first day it was offered, and I love it. So, yes. MY Sensation is going to be retired as soon as I get my hands on a Nexus 4.
Of course. Except the Sensation 4G isn't even worth half of what the Nexus 4 is worth on the market, that is, given it's still in mint condition.
Will be getting the N4 and selling the S4G on eBay.
For me the upgrade doesn't make sense unless I can sell my sensation for $180 or more
Sent from my HTC Sensation running Bruce's CM10 using XDA Premium
Would trade it right now.
The Sensation is the c**ppiest phone I've ever owned. I had it replaced once and now it's sent again for repairs, for the 5th time.
if Nexus lacks SD slot as i have readed somewhere then deffo not, if there is a sd slot ... well ... no either way, i would go for SGS3
I think I'll stay with Sensation. There is a lot of ROMs for it and that's the cool thing. However I'm planning to buy Nexus 10 as an addition.
I don't care for LG phones. The galaxy note 2 looks more appealing to me.

The bought my sensation XE in January for £400 plus £50 for one year insurance simfree and trading it for 140 plus another £100 to just get N4 then insure it as well..so I think I will buy the nexus 7 for pure and keep my sensation right now..otherwise I'm seeing a major loss.

well from reading articles online and friends' experiences, LG has apparently bumped up the build quality of their phones. I havent had any personal experiences with LG devices, but the N4 does look good. the only real downside for me is lack of SD card (I carry around a lot of music files), but now that Ive switched to the unlimited data plan I stream my music a lot more through Audiogalaxy
benefits of sensation over the nexus 4:
1. removable battery (only an issue for very few)
2. microsd (also only an issue for a few who need more than 8-16GB)
3. SenseUI (only an issue for the noobies who prefer sense over AOSP/CM/AOKP)
nexus 4 is much better in every way as long as those 3 arent a problem for you
also, LG hardware is usually solid, its their crappy software that turns people off.
either way, all the reviews say this is a solid device. the Nexus branding will help LG make a name for themselves, the way it made HTC known in the android world, and the same way it made samsung known. its more about getting out there than it is about profits.
I would spend my hard earned money on a Samsung phone, won't touch an LG phone after my Vu experience.
Sgs3 and Note 2 are 2 outstanding android phones. Sorry HTC, my experience with sensation will be my final adieu to HTC.
