I have just got my new xe and its nice however it is extreemly slow .. i was under the impression that the phone was a dual core 1.5ghz
i have run quadrant and only get 1254 max .. i am showing 1.09gb available memory so memory isnt an issue as i havent loaded anything yet
quadrant runs through really slowly and takes around 3 mins to complete .. ive had the note and it flies through really quickly .. so im wondering is there a hardware fault with the xe ?
can anyone help please i can return back to amazon if there is a fault ,,
surely quadrant 1259 is really slow for a phone like this
thans
I have around 2200, with normal sensation.

You shouldn't trust benchmarks... Yesterday i got 3659 with my sensation and today I can't reach 3000

Do you change HTC Sensation hardware with respect to HTC Sensation XE or two mobiles have the same hardware?
Sorry for my bad english
Same hardware, higher clock for the CPU (1.5ghz vs 1.2 on regular Sensation), 4GB internal memory (vs 1GB on regular Sensation), slightly bigger battery (1730mAh) and Beats mod on the music player...
thanks, the roms of the Sensation XE can apply to my Sensation?
Dunno, XE hasn't been released yet, just announced. We'll see
Edit :
Here's some development on the matter : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261911&page=2
Both have 4GB internal storage, you just can use about 1.3GB.
Due to the fact I am happy with my Sensation and there are no real improvements (beside the cpu-clock), I wont change.
Maybe I will buy the XE cover (I like the design) or the bigger battery.
The beatsmod should be software, too - so we can wait for a custom rom.
According to official htc sensation xe page, hardware are exactly the same except for the bigger battery, red highlights back-cover and beats earphones. Oh, and faster rom.

Edit: I also see red capacitive buttons
Is this why HTC under-clocked the original Sensation, so they could release a 1.5 GHz version and say "look we made a new phone?"

They didn't even increase Ram... LAME!

I think it was because of the battery. Now when the new one has a bigger battery, they can use normal speed

Not sure if I buy that it was the battery.
1) HTC could have included a bigger battery with the original Sensation.
2) 1.5 GHz doesn't actually use that much more juice since the processor only runs at that speed under high load.

settings say 1.5GHz, but actual speed is still 1.2.
I would say both phones are the same ... but the XE-edition has a bigger battery-capacity + improved HTCMusik.apk ... oh and the phone color is red ...
You can compare it to samsung galaxy s gorgio armani .. it has just a special look
true...wish it was 1.5ghz!
get a red marker pen, buy the ear-in headphones, overclock your cpu and there you are.......sensation xe

The new RUU works with the normal sensation?i was afraid to brick my phone, so i didnt try it i guess revolutionary still works, because its the same bootloader or am i wrong? i dont want to lock myself out
It's the same phone but they dipped the metal bits in red.
what about the speaker? still dre ? .. sorry still the same as in normal Sensation?
I know that sometime our sensation gets hotter when used for highend gaming or while watching HD movies for long times. But my Sensation gets way too hot.. I mean scary hot.. it becomes almost dificult to hold in hands and feel as if its going to go BOOM!
i am on Hypernonsense 1.5 rom now, which btw is underclocked(1.08ghz) rom. Usualy ARHD roms(1.5ghz) makes my sensation hot even while surfing through internet. i found the hypersensation roms to be the best rom that keep my sensation cool.
the point is if dual core heats the hell out of phone whats the use of it? i mean i used to play same games on my single core android devices like galaxy tab and on my nexus s as well and they used to get hotter after hrs of usage. while my sensation starts gets hotter in like 5mins and by 15mins i have to quit gaming, because of the insanly increasing temprature...
is there any solution to this? i hope my sensation doesnt need micro-liquid-cooling kit! lolz.. Does usually all dual core devices behaves like this?

yes me too....one question...i have problems with mc3..it wont load on time compared to my desire hd on multiplayer and it hangs a lot...do you have the same problem...??
I would talk to HTC about it. They may be willing to help.
ROM?
Btw when you guys were playing games on your Sen, what rom were you guys on? I have never been on stock rom. The moment i got it, i started playing around different roms..
Since ARHD ROMs have OC GPU set up by default maybe it might be heating up the phone. Specially the bottom back side heats up as HELL!! Also the battry sucks up like 5%/min. I was playing Gun Bros Offline and my battry was about 30%, and after completing a few levels i.e. about 5/10mins of gaming the battry was 8%....
Man!! I feel my Galaxy TAB was like WAY better. I used to play about 4hrs with wifi and bluetooth on for whole day +emails and browsing for more then 3hrs.. and still i got about 20hrs battry time...
May be ICS can give me better perfomance, since its optimized for dual core phones....
Running cm7 my phone goes up to 115-120 degrees while game. Youtube or some web browsing heats it up to around 100+.

my sensation xe got 45C when playing any games....
not normal at all!
Mine was getting that hot and eventually started blinking the LED light orange and green, then I'd get an "overheating" message and the phone would reboot. I bought an Anker battery and haven't had the problem since.
Could be a battery defect or you could try underclocking the cpu.

That would probably solve it, I guess... I havent had the issue myself after I underclocked it... Then again, I'm running MIUI.
Good, thought that I ws the only one having heat issues. My sensation would heatup to 50 degrees celsuis when playing modern combat 3 or shadow gun, and when you go to system info, it says "overheat" on the battery status. I hope this is not a rom or kernel issue.

UC works!
I UC to 1.08 and it seems to get prettly less hotter now..!! also the gaming perfomance did decrease a bit.. a very less noticable...
There are two reasons why i bought the sensation xe against the sensation, first is the beats earphone and second is the higher clock. Now i need to underclock to below the clock specs of the basic sensation? Wwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! When i have the time i will to revert to stock and try if it will still heat up, luckily I still havent sold me desire hd.

I also have encounter overheating problem when using gingerbread rom. but after upgrading to ICS 4 with stock kernel, i have experience less overheating problem when playing game.
after upgrading to ics I had the same issue with oc kernel. Switched to stock kernel and no problems since.

Hi I'm kinda new with this phone here when I playing game on this phone about 5 min the phone is getting very hot. Does any method that can fix this overheat issue?

Hot...yes, overheat... no. Try slowing down your processor when playing games and go into developer options via setting ( can't remember if it's in ginger bread) and check force gpu. Also reduce the amount of apps running when your going to play games for a while. There isn't a fix for that but this should help.

try new bricked kernel. i had also over heat before. but now less. u can give a shot.
I put a ice cube under the phone while watching a movie, but i don't think you can do it on hardcore games like nova.

you can also turn off the capacitive button backlight. from my experience, the lit up buttons really heat the phone up a lot(only around the button area) while the rest of the phone is at normal temp including the battery.
turn off capacitive button backlight, just a thought
What bricked kernel DoD you flash that helped.

A few days ago I started getting random reboots and a bit more lag than usually. I thought maybe it was because of UV (-87.5) so I changed it to -50, but it didn't help. The reboots happen two-three times a day usually a second after turning the screen on. Also the lag is getting a bit annoying, it is noticible even when scrolling through the screens. It was better a while ago.
What could be causing such a problem? I am running android 4.0.3 rooted and unlocked S-OFF Elegancia Rom Sense 3.6. more info in attachments.
Also, I recently installed Dualcore Badass Tweaks By Iba21 CPU 384~1566 badass gov an Bricked kernel was installed earlier with 192 mghz min 1566 mhz max, max scrennoff 486, could this mean something?
Any help appreciated.
Have you tried changing your kernel yet? Try changing your kernel and see if the problem persists. Also check battery make sure it has no "wiggle" to it in the housing. If it does wiggle, stabilize it with a piece of paper. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
No, I didn't try changing the kernel yet. Will try it right away. The battery holds firmly, no wiggle whatsoever. Could this have to do anything with the governor changing when going to screen on?

thats fine ..the ram its showing is usable ram thats all
and yes ..after soff if you have unlocked hboot then the number shows 1.27.1111(juopunutbear hboot) and its not a problem
So I changed the kernel from bricked to faux123 192~1.51 cpu. Everything looked ok, but yesterday I got 2 reboots, both when taking a photo, what else could be a problem?
Have you checked to see if battery is loose ? If it has some wiggle this could be causing the reboots. If you find a wiggle put a small wedge of paper to stabilize the battery. Also make sure you're not under or over volted right now, this could be the cause too. For right now while your figuring this out don't under or over volt and see what happens. Try those two suggestions and hopefully the issue will resolve.

Hi everybody. I owned a HTC sensation some months ago. I mean that phone was great! Great size, performance, etc. The problem was The radio signal. I live in an area where the signal is not that good. I had a lot of problems.
My question is if the XE has the same problems. I really love the phone. If there weren't any problems with the radio... the problem I read are the contacts of the aerial which is part of the back cover of the phone in the original sensation. Does the XE have that problem too?
Thanks in advance!

I have to say, YES.
The difference between sensation and the xe are : xe got beats audio, overclocked cpu to 1.5ghz, and larger battery 1730 mah. The others are just the same with the sensation, even the signal issue.
