I will get a Sensation tomorrow after work it is a warranty exchange..has anyone else come from the MT4G, how would you compare it to the Sensation?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My mom has a mytouch4g... holy hell, I want to kill it with fire. Beat it with a bat, and then put it in a blender. I seriously hate the Mytouch 4G. The sensation is a Bugatti, and the MT4G is a 94 Honda Civic with no v-tec and a super huge muffler that kills all its power..
The biggest thing I noticed on the negative side when I switched from the MT4G to the Sensation was the rounded back of the Sensation.
You can't just lay it on your desk or a table and type on it. It wobbles all over the place. You have to hold it. The MT4G has a flat back so you could pound on it and it wouldn't wobble. Made it really easy to type while it was sitting on the table.
However....the bigger screen is really nice. It's much more vibrant too.
The first day you'll feel like you're holding a tablet because of the size difference. But you get used to that pretty quick.
The only thing I miss from the change is the trackpad wake and dedicated camera button

i had a MT4G before, and compare to Sensation: honestly, i don't feel the sensation is much superior than the MT4G.Even with dual core processor, there is not much different in term of speed. Not like you move from a Camry to a Lamborghini.Instead, you move to an Avalon ^^. The only thing different is the screen size :4.3 inches vs 3.8 inches. And i also miss AOPS roms and MIUI roms alot. MT4G have a great roms collection than Sensation. Overall, Sensation is till a good phone, but you wouldn't expect to much in it.

Are you seriously telling somebody that there are no good custom roms for the sensation??? WTF??
I still have a MT4G and a Sensation, and will switch between the 2. The Sensation has a larger and better screen, 8 MB Camera w/ 1080p Camcorder, and a likely quicker path to ICS, all pluses.
The MT4G had great build quality, dedicated buttons including camera button and slightly better cell reception. I personally think the antennas built into the rear Sensation cover is a defective design; much prefer the MT4G design.
For many other things, like battery life, speed of use with or without Sense, lack of lag, built in memory, 4g speeds, browsing, etc., the devices are very similar if not about the same. Dual core in the Sensation is nice, but on both of my devices I only OC to about 1.2 ghz and they both (with the right GB rom) have the same smoothness and similar benchmarks. Sensation is just like a slightly newer brother to the MT4G IMO.
I miss...
Camera button.
Cm7-so much!
More responsive touch screen when typing.
That's about it.
You will like...
Better camera.
Better/larger/sharper images.
Ics roms.
OK gingerbread roms.honestly,I liked tdj's/royal knights sense 3.5 better than any on sensation,but they are good here too.
Better 3g4g connectivity its faster.
Is it worth upgrading too instead of sgs2? No.Not really.
However,my sgs2 is in the drawer,so,its a matter of preference.I'm just using this one to flash roms.
You will like the phone.but if you can return for sgs2 you will most likely enjoy that one more!

Couldn't agree more about the battery life.
Development is on par I'd say considering the future development and official ICS coming. MIUI is going to officially support the sensation, win.
Also, camera button.

I used to have a MT4G and now I'm on Sensation and I absolutely love both phones.
I was very satisfied with the myTouch only AFTER I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod, overclocked it a bit, it went very fast.
I've had the Sensation since it came out! I love this phone, really powerful, looks great, has an amazing camera and screen. You won't be disappointed.
ROOT it of course stock HTC ROM sucks doodooballs.

Just curious, but which devs did we have who could seriously code? I guess Roman and maybe xboarder, but who else? Both of their roms didn't catch fire around here until they had all but left.

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

My Phone is for benchmarking only, too!
Man put TouchWiz on the Sensation and have a look again! Sense is huge! And the g2x is not faster
Have you used the g2x it blows the sstion out speed wise and i have a sensation its just faster but I don't know why I wanna keep my sensation because like i said the specs are better nobody wants to say it but we all know the Tegra2 has the uperhand ....

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

i just came from the g2x and i wouldnt go back too many problems you have to mod that phone heavily to make everything work, the only problem i have now with my sensation i got today is the video camera? does any mode record in 30fps cause its not working on mine
Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.
Keep your sensation

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.
I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?
It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

I'd say the sensation is a step up but I'm not exactly a non bias party tho.
There are currently no roms containing ics. There is a major alpha Rom under development.
Make sure to get yourself a case and maybe an mhl adaptor. Some nice headphones wouldn't be a bad idea either
Currently the arhd roms for sense 3.0 and 3.5 are very well built and do wonders for efficiency and performance. It just depends what your looking for in a Rom

OK thank you! The big reason is that I personally think a 4 inch screen is too small for me. Don't get me wrong I love stock Android but I always need to change my phones customization that's why I love sense. And I love the build quality of HTC phones. And the g2x's Rom development is dead. Basically.

ya i agree about the build quality and the sense being a top selling point. i love the sensation and with it being one of the few devices getting ICS first (at least as of now) the development should be going strong for at least 6 monthsd from now.
That is a long time in android years lol

i have both phones and have the sensation as my daily. while i like the sensation slightly more i must say the sense is what keeps me. i hated sense until i really started to use it and im now hooked. i also think though that the g2x has a much sharper and nicer screen.
performance wise i have tested both side to side and the only thing the lg wins in testing over the sensation is neocore (nvidia processors). 78.9fps to 60fps. however linpack and quadrant the sensation takes the cake.
generic testing i know. but it does help to some degree.

I have both the G2X and the Sensation and I like the Sensation better. The G2X seems faster and benchmarks faster, but both are fast enough and the bigger screen on the Sensation is my main reason..
I also have a Tmobile Galaxy S2 but I actually do not use it anymore and switched back to the Sensation because the S2 is too big, it is hard to use with one hand and a pain to carry around..
All 3 have custom roms on them and whichever gets a stable ICS first will be my new daily use phone...
the s2 looks amazing and has amazing specs. seeing as you have all three phones is it hands down the best for performance outta the 3? also i love the screen but i think 4.3 is about the biggest id need.
Yea okay I'm definitely switching because the g2x has a nvidia processor and there is no way there going to give the drivers out. So no ICS for the g2x until the official release.

As cool as the one s looks, Idk if I can go with HTC untill they stop locking down there phones. The amaze is a nightmare because although the bootloader is unlocked its still S-on so its only half unlocked.

If you don't like bloat go with cm7 or the now ancient royalginger or faux123's aosp. If you just don't like bloatware gobwith every other sense rom Idk anyone who uses bloat in their Roms. The amaze actually wasn't horrible with battery life, I usually averaged about 14 hours with xboarders roms

It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using xda premium
Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!
Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable
I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.
check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation
I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.

Haha, yeah i'm with you too on an Android vs Apple war =D
I'm not nit picking at you or anything, I was just pointing out something i found funny
Take it easy buddy
Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.

Still BOSS 8)
Rock solid,
Beautiful screen
Great sounds
Does everything
Rooted
Running CM9
Very smooth and fast.
Makes the iPhones look positively dinosauric
Absolutely no need to upgrade either.
ADORE
A very nice posting from my brick
Totally agree
Have no plans on changing my Sensation this year, as it does everything i need.
All these 2012 Smartphones don't really offer anything that makes me want to change.
Had mine for 3 months now and looks like I made the right decision absolutely love it look forward to many more months of awesomeness from this phone

Yes.
YouTube is a bit choppy,
But that's it really ....
A very nice posting from my brick
Love the phone! Had a iPhone a few weeks when my sensation was on service (dust inside the display, got a brand new display for free )
After using a laggy iphone, I realized how much i love the sensation.
It's a sensation... Easy as that.
Same here. My Sensation is 6 1/2 months old, it has no scratches and still looks and feels like on the first day. It's an awesome phone, but the ability to run CM9 makes it still more awesome
I am also running CM9 and got it clocked at 1ghz and hahaha even at this speed is super smooth.
I am really glad that we got CM9, it would be hard to get a phone that doesn't get CM9 support to be honest because these companies overlays are full of bloatware and drain battery super quickly.
The real problem with HTC phones is Sense. I got to have it at like 1.7 to be smooth but then the battery sucks really bad. Then if I clock down to about 1.2 which is when I notice a battery difference, it's all choppy and stuttery.
Just yesterday I played with an HTC One S and I don't really envy anything about it.
And I too feel the same way as a previous poster and that is that I don't feel the need to upgrade.
CM9 + Sensation= Fast, Smooth, Great battery life.

Go to the Android development section, the thread is called Open Sensation. Should be on either the first or second page.
Your phone needs to be rooted and S-OFF, and you need to have the ICS firmware. Flash through recovery after complete wipe, and enjoy.
