Good afternoon,
I'm thinking about buying an Android device to try and walk since the beginning of the month to choose one ...
I had seen on vodafone HTC Sensation, but a few days ago I saw that HTC released new models sesantion, including HTC Sensation XE.
Like to have your opinion on what I choose, in terms of quality and price, preference the phone that last longer without needing to change. have more support.
I have the chance to vodafone HTC Sensation for 350€ and Sensation XE unlock for 550 €
sesantion specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation-3875.php
sesantion xe specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_xe-4164.php
witch one i choose?
Thanlks
There the same phone the sensation is undrclocked to 1.2 where as the XE is clicked to 1.5 the XE looks slightly better in my opinion and has a bigger battery, the headphones are also rrp£79 with the XE
The hardware is exactly the same, if you plan to custom rom take the sensation if not take the XE

I'm also still not sure if I should pick the Sensation XE or not, I sure like the red colors in the case

You're suggesting to pick the normal Sensation if he plans to install custom ROMS, why do you have the XE then and install CM7?
Because its cheaper... duh.

So for your experience for the diference of the price the Htc sensation is better choice than sensation xe? or the sensation xe is better and much preference of sensation?
Thanks
Get og sensation. With the money you save buy a bigger sd card and headphones of your choice then root and flash xe rom and bam you have beats edition for a lower price. However i prefer cm7 with dsp manager or power amp

Sensation (1st model)
I got the HTC Sensation -
now there's a Sensation XL!! (White!!) Goodness, I think HTC got APPLE virus, "What comes in black, must turn white!"
I agree with some users here. Get the Sensation & root it. But my question:
1) XE model & XL model have bigger internal memory I think. But the RAM is at 768Mb... that's quite unfortunate.
2) Battery life - yes they are slightly larger = 1,620mA (Can't we buy that as a second battery ? - I would. But my battery life looks alright for the 1st month (after rooting, but I realise the charging to 100% is very slow.) I reckon it could be the voltage or the plug. I actually use the old plug with the new Micro USB cable.
Comments?
That will be your charger,
The xe and sensation are the same phone.
The xl gas 1gb of ram a singlecore processor 16gb internal and a bigger screen

So if i bought a regular sensation and put a custum rom, i have a sensation xe?
The normal sensation runs at 1.5ghz and got the beats audio? or just the speed processor?
You can have both, tbh the beats software is pants power amp is better

1GB RAM and 16GB internal? You sure, im buying it next week, all speces show 4gb(1gb usable), and 768 RAM, even on HTC web, gsmarena..and so...
EIDT: Sorry didint notice you wrote XL, its all OK
XL only supports 720p video recording and lacks a card slot. I have just got the XE and I'm super impressed with it.
i like my sensation don't think the other models are worth it.. unless you like red and the headphones...
I was always a Sony Ericson man, then got the Desire - fabulous!
Next I upgraded to the Desire HD and now have the Sensation XE - brilliant, fast, good looking. Great sound & free headphones. Amazing phone... go for it
Are you guys using custom roms on your XE? I should be getting mine in the next few days.

I have a bit silly question : Is there any difference between the Sensation XE smart phones from UK version and US version? or they are the same ones.
Thank you.
cm7 for sensation xe
Is there any stable cm7 rom for sensation xe yet?
if there is, where do i find it? in the ordinary Sensation forum?

sensation XE
If they are built with the same specs sensation cm7 should in theory work with xe version
I currently have the DHD, and I was kind off interested in the sensation XE as a possible upgrade, finance is not an issue, but i was really discouraged after reading about the sensation's ''Death grip'' issue.... I have looked around on the internet but couldn't find any suffiecient responses regarding that issue....
1.do you guys know if the death grip probs are still being reported by sensation XE users???
2. if no, do you recommend me upgrading my DHD to XE??
**motives for upgrade== better specs, better battery life i.e more movies, more **games etc. , better music experience, and last but not least to possibly get **the new version of android and htc sense
p.s plz feel free to recommend any other device for a possible upgrade (excluding Galaxy s2 )
Ive just upgraded from the DHD to the XE and i couldnt be happier! I havent noticed any issues with a 'death grip' at all.
Dual core is smooth and havent had any lag, beats sounds amazing (although i know they have a runnymede port on dhd anyway), the headphones are pretty good and phone feels the usual HTC quality. The thing i noticed the most is the better screen resolution, and as it has gorilla glass, there's no need for a screen protector!
All in all a very decent upgrade and id have no hesitation in recommending it!
Just wait off there are better phones coming out soon

If you live by that policy, you would never buy a new phone. Or a new PC. Or a new car ......
I've had no issues with death grip on my Sensation. Couldn't be happier that I made the right choice.
thank you guyz for the responses.....it really helps
And this members opinion I'd learn to ignore. Just for future reference .

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 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 the dust under screen problem, which is a fault but orange say its not their prob its a HTC warranty issue. Consumer direct says the trader (orange) is responsible. Don't know what to do.

I'd say it's HTC's problem. I'd try contact HTC and see what they say. It's a defect with their phone hence they should be responsible.
There was a thread on the dust under screen problem and I'm sure people have sent it into HTC and got it sorted.
I feel nothing but dread from all the hassle people had when I had the hd2. That's why I'd like to avoid htc
