If HTC was the manufacturer instead of LG, what changes to the device do you think they would make? Do you think it would make a huge difference?
Doubt it would be stock android and would prolly have a locked bootloader.
Honestly it wouldnt exist because of the Sensation.

Only thing I dislike is the body..
Think its ugly and too skinny
Should be a little wider and not the huge black bar on bottom
And personally I liked my mt4g hard buttons
Can't stand PURE touchscreen

when i had the nexus s and went to the mytouch 4g it felt weird having to press physical buttons. i like the capacitive buttons better. no wear ands tear
It would look exactly like every other HTC phone, would be made with metal (I actually like high quality plastic better as it can absorb shock better), and would be running sense. Probably would have a locked bootloader also.
(I have nothing against htc phones, I have one myself, just stating my honest observations)
HTC already manufactured G2 (with keyboard).

First, I'm guessing that LG was looking for a U.S. carrier to sell the O2X and couldn't find one. With the Sensation, SGS2, Bionic and all of their variants coming, the U.S. carriers probably didn't need another high-end dual core phone. Especially from a company new to high-end phones. T-Mobile probably said if you strip out the UI we'd be able to find a place for it in our G-line. I'm sure part of the deal revolved around T-Mobile carrying the G-Slate. I'm also sure that LG would have rather sold the O2X as is rather than having to develop and support another version of s/w.
Carriers don't just randomly pick phones one-by-one across vendors. They sign multi-year commitments worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That's why LG and Motorola find it so difficult to place their phones. LG was vanquished to the low-end and Motorola sold its soul to VZW. Trust me, there's little passion and emotion at the HQ of any carrier when it comes to an individual phone unless said phone can make them lots and lots of money (EG: iPhone). It's all about the Benjamin's.
So if HTC made a dual core successor to the G2 I'm guessing it would be Sensation-like spec wise without Sense. I for one would camp outside a T-Mobile store to get one.
Have u seen all the issues the G2 has!
No thanks!

If HTC made the G2X, they would use:
1) ****ty Speakers like all their phones
2) Bad molding process, creaking here and there
3) Dust under the screen
4) Somewhat not centered Front face camera.
5) Tape, glue, double sided tape here and there to put the phone together.
Sorry i'm done with HTC phones.

Exactly... Other than the hd2s build quality. I hated my htcs.. Hardware issues left and right with them.. Even the n1 used a cheap screen and had mad dust..
I don't know why people complain so much... Build quality is amazing on the g2x, I've had no reboots like others and the bleed issue isn't a issue for me.
Trust me people, there are good ones and I got one... Actually 2 with no issues..
If HTC made the G2x it would have...
A. only came with a 1250 mAh battery (they skimp on battery size BAD).
B. it would have sucked any extended battery you bought for it dry in mere hours.
C. it wouldn't have had a Gorilla Glass screen (HTC uses a glass that they make which is supposed to be as good as GG, but fails miserably).
D. it would have had that same earpiece speaker that every single other HTC device has (don't get me wrong I've always liked HTC designs, and I know they're attempting to BRAND their phones... but it's getting old IMO).
and
E. We wouldn't have vanilla Android (or Google Dark Ale as they like to call it) on our G2x, we'd have Sense UI. And while Sense may well be the best OEM launcher going, I still prefer not to skin Android and just let us choose our own launcher instead. Every skin creates some lag IMO. With my vanilla Android G2x, I've experienced zero lag to date.
And loving it!

Thx someone who knows about phones, I just hope people understand what quality means in a phone and take HTC down the.pedestal.
HTC fanboys seems to worship HTC crap like apple fanboys do.
Please understand a cheap die cast piece of metal along some bad plastic is not quality and certainly WEIGHT /= QUALITY

After owning my Sensation and hearing about all the issues on here. and having one or two myself. im having mixed feelings about keeping the sensation over my Desire HD. Anyone else feel the same way
Just wanted to really know how many people own a sensation now or keeping it or selling it off.
might help me make a decision. or see how other people feel.
After all it is potentially £450 ($600) daily part of our life
Hell Yeah im keeping it :-D! I like it better than my Desire HD and still on stock rom. Imagine the joy when it gets unlocked!

me too, i have noticed that my network signal is not far behind from my dhd. sometimes it sems better but majority of the time it is the same or 1-2 bars lower than my dhd. its easier to deathgrip the sensation.
but dhd does suffer from deathgrip too i tried it.
Also im thinking the problem may be cured a little either by HTC or if different radios are released and roms.
So far, im very pleased with mine. Great screen with realistic color reproduction and resolution, Sense is nice for stock and i really enjoy the shape of the curved glass. The phone feels slim in your hand because of it's palm friendly shape.
A winner

I must say I am keeping mine. the full price @ 648 isn't worth it but I'm a phone addict. This screen and sense 3.0 is beautiful. If you put your hand at the back of the phone to have the audio come up and it bounces off your hand then the speaker is loud but unfortunately it shoots out in the whole room and its low if you don't do that. The phone gets hot sometimes but not as much as the first day. It's was burning up. Beyond that, the memory isn't an issue!

Lovin it.
I thought i'd never see a phone that felt better than the Nexus One. Then hearing it had a 4.3" screen, I thought it would be a behemoth like the HD7, the only other 4.3" phone i've owned. But it feels much smaller and natural to hold. And i've always been a fan of Sense.
Unless some bugs start showing up, this puppy's staying.
I've decided on the evo 3d. Bye bye sensation

I love mine, but the internet connection is very slow most of the time. If I'm not on Wifi, it's pretty bad. Maybe a custom ROM will help, or new radio, etc. But yeah, definitely keeping it, barring some tragic accident or malfunction, in which case I would just buy a new one lol
I own this htc sensation just for a day.. I am very dissapiont with the wifi signal wifi signal can block by one finger! this is unacceptable. I don't think I can keep it, I want to exchange with a samsung galaxy s 2.

I have a desire but plan to get the sensation next week. I have been following the threads on here and there seems to be a lot of issues:
3 types of screen some good some bad,
Poor build quality, creaking handset,
Data issues, cutting off,
WiFi issues, cutting off during screen off,
Sense keeps rebooting.
Would you advise anyone to get the sensation?

I think it was worth the upgrade from the DHD, so definitely worth it from desire.

I also agree it was worth the update from DHD
Go for it. I'm well happy with mine. No real issues at all. There is slight creaking but it's more to do with the outer shell which houses the main body of the device. Overall its a solid piece of kit.

I have had majority of new handsets and to be honest the sensation is my favourite
I had the galaxy s2 yes screen is better and a lot faster (3200 on quadrant compared to 2032 on sensation) but the computer software is buggy and that's how you update any firmware pushes , its hard to get videos to play if they are on memory card
I've had iPhone 4 to and the sensation is better also updates are ota

I've recently upgraded to an unlocked Sensation on Orange from an HD2 and just love it; it doesn't freeze, creak, get hot, reboot, leak light or have a grainy screen. It just sits there, urging me to play with it and enjoy it, like a kid in a toy shop.
All I've done is play games, download music and silly Apps and I've even managed to read some threads here and download the Terminal Emulator to find out which screen I have.
I really enjoyed the HD2 and now have that for work as they supply some postage stamp sized Nokia thing and at 48, I can't see the blighter!
For me, the Sensation was the right move and I hope to enjoy it for many months to come. My son has the DHD and he's sniffing round mine, with his roms and talk of bootloaders!!! He can bog off and buy his own!
I upgraded to the sensation a few weeks ago from the Desire and to be honest the only thing that is better on the Desire than this is having root and s-off. Go for it

Yes.
Asked a similar question in the [Q] forum. Just picked one up.
After hearing approval from my N1 brothers, I concur.
Its worth it.
I read the complain threads here on xda and most of the time the issues are not as bad as the posters make them out to be. I have an Incredible S right now and before that a Nexus One. The Nexus One got so many complaints, but after I brought the phone it ended up being one of the best phones I owned. Same with the Incredible S. As for the Sensation I'll probably get one this summer.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Yes it's worth it for me! Upgraded from an HTC Wildifre so it's pretty much night and day with the Sensation!
Internal hardware wise the SGS2 are better but OS software implementation Sensation are the best plus the higher resolution support are way good for videos on Sensation, I recommend the sensation over SGS2 anytime. I gave u 1 example on just the lockscreen, with SGS2 u have to drag the whole page right to the top just to unlock it and that is irritating enough for me but with the sensation it unlocks the screen just with a bit slide. So it is still up to u again on what to buy in the end. U have to try it both before u buy any.....goodluck

Jasand the phone is bound to have a few glitches with software which HTC will fix in firmware updates the only glitch I have is the free RAM which is always around 129mb despite the phone having loads built in ... But I have run a few things at once and not had a slow down just use the built in task manager if your worried but to be honest android does a good job at managing background stuff for you
The only other issue is battery just use juice defender
What I would do however is buy from somewhere reputable as a few of us including me have had faulty handsets (hot battery and I mean HOT)
Good luck in your quest

I hope Costco has a sensation sale soon I wanna get one
This thread might seem unnecessary but I'm making it anyway.
I recently acquired a sensation and it had the touchscreen lockup issue that had to be solved by returning it to HTC. Ofcoursre HTC had to be a **** and charge me 160 to fix the ****ty phone saying warranty seal was broken. So simple. I went with it. Haven't gotten it back yet.
Whatever the point is this mytouch 4g has served me the longest without any issues whatsoever for the past 6 months. I dropped this phone on the subway six times now without any noticeable damage and I don't use a case. The build quality is exceptional and I can't thank HTC enough to design the metal ring around the screen.
I'm grateful to this community and HTC. But this sensation will be the last HTC I own. And this mytouch 4g, I'm never gonna sell it. Ever. Its the best phone I ever had. People who has problems usually speak up like this so I thought this would be a nice addition.

I adore my MyTouch 4g. This is my first Android phone and I've compared to many other models that I have seen and continue to. I have to say that I have yet to find another phone that I would hands down say is superior. The cpu is amazing. The amount of RAM is more than I have ever needed. The size of the phone is perfect for me. And development has been phenomenal.
Are the front and rear cameras off center? You bet. Does that affect their operation or in any way slow this beast down? Nope.

They are big. I personally think its much higher quality than the Sensation.. (Just because its aluminum doesnt make it a better build quality) infact i think that about Samsung compared to HTC anyways.. Sammy makes strong light devices.
Even with a lower resolution the Amoled + screens are far superior to the LCD screen HTC uses and the Note has an HD version of the AMOLED + Makes me really want one.

Yeah, it's very good. It just simply, works. No waiting for this or that to come out for it or waiting for some dev to fix something that apple should have fixed long before releasing only to have that one dev go buy a completely different device and forget about you.
Android has better hardware but piss poor work ethic from the manufacturers.
Apple has much nicer looking products with lesser hardware, but they make damn sure that your never notice the lesser hardware. This iPad 2 is fast! I am typing this on the on screen keyboard. Something that was a pain in the butt on my dads toshiba thrive.
Android needs to finish what they start. I got tired of waiting for others to make my android devices what they were advertised to be. I got tired of having to devote most of my time learning how to do something on a forum that was supposed to work straight out of the box.
I love my sensation, but not all the drama that I have gone through to get it to where it is today. A lot of buttkissing devs and being *****ed at for eta asking has pushed me closer to apple. If it weren't for tmobile having me by the balls, I'd have an iPhone. People will say to go get what you want, but that is so dillusional. We wind up stuck with what we have and then have to deal with the issues. I was disgusted to see the sensations early problems needing fixing and then watch Htc come out with four clones of the sensation each new month rather than fix and finish what they started. Finish what you start!

Samoled is amazing, better than Sensation screen but also takes up that much more power. Sensation screen is also great not take away from that. 5.3" is a bit much dont you think? I had the vibrant it felt bigger than our Sensation with its 4.0" . Also I didn't really appreciate the plastic but it was/is really sturdy. I don't anyone had their phone break. I also have to say if the Note's glass is anything like the Vibrant's then you will be happy. That screen is almost impossible to scratch. You could literally take a key to it without a screen protector. Wish our sensation glass was like that. And lastly, touchwiz isn't bad at all. Give it a chance, with all the modded twiz launchers and alternatives its a fun device. Also theirs a sense look alike launcher I used for a couple days on my vibrant. So all in all it comes down to preference. But I have to say one thing, Samsung sucks at updating android versions. We got froyo 2 months after gb came out. And its not about to change either.

One thing I do notice however .... the phone seems to be the benchmark the other manufacturers shoot for or want to beat.
Then there's the guys who like to say they have a better option then the Sensation.
It would seem this phone set a new standard.
This is a phone... That is a phone... They do pretty much the same thing. Why make so much of an effort for a bigger better screen with a juvenile u.i. Atleast wait for something like a quad core and impressive games/apps exclusive for the quad. I swear i dont see anything that the sensation does which the desire hd couldnt. IMHO, these frequent minor updates dont make much sense and also ruin the fun after updating to a much more capable phone which is just better at everything.
