T mobile is a good company to work with. I've traded 4 phones in 4 weeks, and by far, the Sensation is a great device.
The only thing I've noticed is that when using MX video hardware decoding for divx movies is choppy. Software decoding is on PAR.
The other little gotcha is that it has rebooted 11 times since I've started using it. Coming from the lock screen as well as, just in general sitting there ( 2 days). T mobile is sending me another one. (Never does it on Wifi calling is on, which I have noticed...)

Usually reboots either if it's over clocked in anyway or Sense using too much memory. But glad you are getting good service from the folks at tmo. I have to call into service to get such service/answers lol. Have fun!
Congrats! Sensation is turning out to be the best device for me so far.
Welcome to the club! Same story here.
That G2x was the biggest POS ever made.
HTC is soooo much better.
Your sensation should NEVER have to reboot unless you have over clocked it. I saw what LG was about to do like nokia did with the n900 and i quickly jump ship. Wasn't going to be burned again.

Welcome to the hood! the Sensation on tmob rocks in Vegas!
They are really helpful, my sister got the sensation too and was having problems with phone not charging, I took it back and they replaced it for a brand new.

My GF has a g2x and there is little wrong with it. GPS sucks from time to time and the camera is lacking...Thats it.
It has MUCH less issues than my sensation has, thats for sure. Its got great battery life (mine sucks), SMOOTH GLASS (mine feels tacky), and a buttery smooth browser. (Mine is jittery and rough).
Best of all, it was free for her (adding a line).

Cool that tmo is sending you another one. Just curious, are you running stock rom and kernel? Both mine and my wife's sensations used to reboot several times a day on the stock tmous 2.3.3 rom and kernel. The problem went away after I started messing with our phones a bit more.
My MX seems to play fine. Mkvs, avis, you name it, it plays.

Hey Bigmixx, I noticed you from tmonews. You always have good points to make. I too was having issues with my Vibrant, and T-Mobile hooked me up with a refurbished Sensation. I'm sure the problems you were having were with that device only because my Sensation is working well. Now I know what it's like to have a decent Android device!
Im too come from LG..O2X, similar to g2x..haha..really glad i did it..

I got the game 'Spirit HD' off of the market for 10ยข today. When I'm in the middle of playing the game, the whole game will freeze and I have to back out and kill the game before I can come back and play it. Is anyone else experiencing this? The developer told me that someone reported the same problem as I did, but said the game works perfectly fine on the Sensation's stock software. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Nope, I've been playing that game from stock, to insertcoin, to pyramid3d neon thingie majig, to ARHD, to MIUI, to CM7 and now ICS.
Never experienced this.
Works great for me with CM7, sense 3.0, and sense 3.5.

Well the dev told me to try an adb logcat next time it happened to see what process was causing it to freeze, so I guess I will be doing that.

Hi I'm currently using ARHD 6.5.5 on a sensation XE.
There comes a time when My Music Player has sound/audio but when I go to Video player/Internet Browser/Apps , audio seems muted and when I put the Media volume to Max, still no sound. my only solution is to restart but after a while the issue repeats. don't know what triggers this. Anyone experienced this?
Thanks
Yep, i've had the same thing happen.
Fixed it with a reboot. Dunno what caused it either.
Try fixing permissions. If it keeps happening after that just reflash the ROM
Got this issue also. But i experienced this while using youtube. Sadly i stopped using arhd because of this. First time using it got a bug like this, really saddened me. Went back to hypernonsense 1.5. No issues at all. No sense also though

Try insertcoin roms , bug free awesome fast stable , rocking just try best
Hi there,
I have radio number 11.69, on 3.32 firmware, running virtuous inquisition. One issue i have is with Bluetooth audio playback, eg listening to music over bt with a home theatre system. It's not a major problem as everything else works so well. It used to work great using my Desire, but the audio is choppy and cuts in and out which is still disappointing as it worked flawlessly previously. Could anyone recommend a radio or had a similar problem? It may be just a case of trial and error with different versions but thought i would check first.
Thanks

Rumors...is it true or false? Does camera work?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2
Even if the rumors are true this rom will be unusable just like the other two from viper... It's ridiculous that after few days the phone lags like hell, and the phone is unusable when installing apps from play store.
IMHO

I can't say that ViperS 1.6.3 lags as hell, but 3.0.x versions are unstable, true.
ViperOne ROM will be for HTC One only. And ofc, that phone will have working camera.
ViperS project (i believe) will have sense 5 version, because ivicask booted it.
Working camera depends on all our sensation's developers. We lose them because our device is relatively old.
nvm...
