[Q] galaxy s captive or htc sensation? - General Questions and Answers

i have an offer for both of these and was wondering witch would be a better choice?? they both look like great phones

I'm assuming you mean the captivate? I would pick the sensation hands down compared to the captivate...more pixels, 8MP camera compared to 5MP and its dual core...

I think the sensation already has ICS ROMS available, not sure about the official upgrade.

From the Sensation preview vid I saw, dual core, Official Sense 3.0 and GB
Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.
I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Any thing made by HTC............. If the new nexus is HTC then I will try that. If not then the Holiday looks nice!! I want to see the LTE lineup also, any thing HTC with LTE I may jump on.
I'm excited for the nexus phone large screen 4.0 nice display lte... sounds like a great phone to me the others I really am not that excited for

I'm sticking with this inspire, love this phone and I don't think it would be worth the early upgrade for a phone that would be only a little better.
I think its going to be a while till the inspire is really out of date....

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.
I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

Root latest ota?

I'm going to claim the insurance on my tmo g2 (cracked screen ._.), and I was wondering if there was any possible way to root the mt4gs? Is it not possible to downgrade and root at this time?
afaik no root for latest ota
if your MT4GS comes with the latest update and S-ON, then you will not be able to root or downgrade at this time. any other situation, like S-OFF or pre-OTA, and you will have options
Has anyone else here had a sensation? I'm thinking about just trading the insurance phone for a sensation.

i have a sensation and mt4gs, they are basically the same phone. but the mt4gs blows the sensation away on data speed in my findings, although sensation has a bigger screen the camera does not compare.mt4gs has less bloat. just seems to run faster.
just trying to help

Seriously? Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Haha the biggest attraction for the sensation for me is the bigger screen. Are both phones rooted btw? I can definately remove alot of bloat and perhaps play around with radios to help data speed. The camera is the biggest +1 for the mt4gs, but the weight and width difference is kind of a turnoff if they're basically the same phone.
Ahh nevermind. I've read a few times already that the new ota is unlockable. I'm definately going for the sensation now. Thanks for the help though
Is anything unlockable to XDA?

I was thinking about that, but I was just looking for a straight up trade. I'm already paying the insurance deductible, I don't want to spend any more money on a phone xD
If I CAN get one in a straight up trade, that'd be pretty bomb xD
It would be nice to be able to use the new radio with a custom ROM. The MT4GS is a damn good phone. My reception sux, but I am in Afghanistan as well. When I get back to the states, I expect to be cruising along like normal.

switch to the nexus?

Hi.
My lokal shop got the nexus on an offer for around 150$ + my sensation. is it worth the upgrade, or should i skip it?
I say skip it. Your sensation can do everything the gnex can. It would be a waste

But you stand to get updates and development well into the next nexus device that comes out.

I'm not so sure about that anymore...Google cant update Nexus S to ICS properly and some GNex are still running 4.0.2 when 4.0.4 is out

Kind of true...
But that is where the main advantages of the Nexus over the Sensation ends. The Sensation has much better hardware in general, except for just the screen.
But that deal is a bit of a rip-off, so no.

I suppose I should say that when I see Android Headlines on my feed, I usually see roms or updates for the nexus devices and the sensation.
The sensation is purely off of development, while the Nexus devices naturally get a first look at updates.
To answer the original scenario - your Senation + $150? I say 'no'. Thats break even moneywise, so why give up a great phone to break even?
the only thing i see good in nexus is that it has stock AOSP ICS whyle the sensation is still in development, but still i wouldn't take the nexus...
our sensation is better, don't do it!!

Agreed.
I say skip it, and go for the next one. Or one of the HTC One series, or the upcoming Galaxy S3.
Id stick to the sensation for developement on their forums only roms you see its just cm9/aosp all roms basicly the same ..
Over here we got multiple choice such as sense3.0/3.5/3.6/4.0 miui/ cm7/cm9 and so on ... And hardware is better than the gnex only the screen doesn't beat it and i also heard battery life is horrible on the gnex because of signal issues..

fook know's lol,the advert i've seen is some sky divers with the phone and it shows him taking a video,then takes a pic whilst recording lol,sure u can find the advert on google,and it's cos i like my fone to be up to date,my hd2 was a desire s,then a htc sensation,sensation xe,then a sensation xl,was even tempted to make it like a samsung galaxy s2 lol,but had 2nd thoughts lol
if I recall correctly, the sensation doesn't have the hardware to do so. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but as of right now you can't use that, unless some awesome dev somehow makes it function
All sense 4 roms have ability to take a pic while recording. all phones from one series has that. but I think it's cemera hardware isue on one serie with some special chip. so I don't think that will work on other phones
Well i've just tried makin a video,but defo CANNOT TAKE A PIC lol,so plz plz show me a sense rom,link anythin with the option cos personally,we all no that isn't available yet or else we'd all av it

Wow. People. The Sensation does not have the camera hardware needed to take pictures and video at the same time. We can port software until we are blue in the face but without the hardware it won't matter. You all should learn a little about what you are doing to your $600.00 phone before you start flashing and bricking your phones.
