Didn't know if anyone here on T-Mobile US has tried the EU Sensation but I received mine today, and so far everything is quite nice. Phone feels solid and has a good weight to it. I tried out the speed test and..... I got similar speeds to my G2x. =D Now all I'm missing is wifi calling.
If you want me to try anything let me know. I'll post pictures later after I get back.

There is no 4G radio on the US Sensation, it is just capable of 4G speeds (DL14.4/UL5.68)
Im not sure whether there is really difference even in the 3G frequencies, as the european model also supports AWS (1700mhz) in addition to 900/2100 frequencies used in Europe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the main difference is the marketing name and t-mobile branding.

Just want to let you know that AWS is actually 1700/2100. It uses one frequency for downlink, one for uplink.

T-Mobile & AT&T (for now) actually dont have real 4G. They have what they call 4G speeds. It is the same as HSPA+ outside USA.
Both the Sensation & Sensation "4G" on HTC's website & T-mobiles website have the same Internet speeds:
Under Internet: HTC's website for the Sensation list speeds under 3G as Up to 14.4 Mbps download speed and up to 5.76 Mbps upload speed.
T-Mobile's website for the Sensation 4G lists the Internet spped for 4G as Up to 14.4 Mbps download speed and up to 5.76 Mbps upload speed.

Based on photo evidence posted in other threads there's an extra connector (antenna?) on the back cover of the TMO US version of the phone. So, the Euro and US models are different.

This is true, forgot to mention about it. It must be antenna for this 1700mhz frequency which isn't in use in Europe. This whole AWS thing is new to me, as in Europe we don't have such thing. Some wrote here on xda that he imported a euro-version of the phone to USA and it worked fine in t-mobiles network.
Hey,
I'm contemplating getting a Sensation in Canada, but I may wait for Rogers to get their new LTE network going before getting a new phone. Would you guys say that the 4G is worth waiting for? Or should I just get the Sensation now?

Wait...and use the money that's obviously burning a hole in your pocket for more prudent things...such as contributing to your 401k...
Nah, but 4g is ok...I see it as a luxury, if you can afford it and you REALLY want it then sure. But whether or not it's worth is is as simple as thinking about how much you really value a few extra seconds between page loads. With bandwith caps, 4g isn't really all that attractive anymore honestly...

Something else to think about, just because they launch LTE won't guarantee that they will have the backhaul to make it fast. Most, if not all, of Sprints WiMAX, Verizon's LTE is slower than 3G simply because they don't have the backhaul or capacity yet.
It took T-Mobile 2 more years after launching UMTS to get HSPA+ going. Food for thought.
hmm.....well put...thanks guys. will have a new Sensation tomorrow
With these prices... its not worth it.

What are you talking about? Did ANYONE in this thread say ANYTHING about T-Mobile and 4G?
Read the post before making idiot responses.
sensation is a solid phone, reminds me of my nexus one that I wish I never traded. Would probably still be using that, instead of the phone path I went through. Pricing of 4g isnt worth it, you can just get internet services at a home. My local carrier is rolling out "4g" and I'm priced for life at $14.99 unlimited text & data. I don't plan on leaving the carrier anytime soon, and my download speeds on average are 3-4mbps, high has been up to 8mbps.
Unless your in a big popular city where they will try to put out the LTE signal and support it I wouldnt worry about it. Everyone I know here (Dallas) on Sprint's 4g and Verizons has sporadic problems with signal and speeds. Its fast when its there but they dont get it much.
T-Mo US's may not be real 4G but they have good coverage (for me) with it and I love the phone so I personally wouldnt wait unless you get some good info on the quality of 4G in your area.

I see just the *slightest* overreaction here.
However, to answer the OP's question: Yes, 4G it's worth it to me. Accessing information no longer takes a brutally long time. I have fewer reasons to take a laptop most of to time. I can have long conversations with my girl or family while browsing these forums or the web in general.
I see download speeds anywhere from 3mbps to 11mbps depending on where I am at the time. This is more that fast enough for me to forget that I am not on Wifi. This is what I have always wanted using a smartphone to be like.

T-Mobile's 4G is HSPA+,isn't it? I am not talking about LTE
HSPA+ is not 4g and neither is the current iteration of verizons LTE.
LTE is still faster than HSPA+ but it drains your battery. I have been getting amazing HSPA+speeds but its in very limited locations (downtown seattle only). 4G is worth it, be it real or fake its much faster than 3g but i kind of like HSPA+ cuz at least its not such a battery hog like LTE.

If your not talking about LTE, then why are you posting in this thread? Yes, T-mobile's network is HSPA+. No one is arguing that. What we do want to know, though, is why you mentioned it? The OP, who lives in Canada, was asking if it was worth getting the Sensation now (which won't be on a 4G network as it's not launched) or waiting for when they launch LTE (in Canada) and buy it on a 4G LTE network.
What does that have to do with T-Mobile NOT being a TRUE 4G network?
Maybe I read it wrong so,,,

Nope, he was talking about LTE 4G in Canada, NOT T-mobile 4G. Still do NOT understand the point of your comment.
EDIT: On a side note of true 4G. NO carrier in the WORLD can claim 4G as 4G is only classed as WiMAX II or LTE Advanced with speeds of 100Mbps. With that said, T-Mobile is not either of those technologies, but they are half way to the speeds which is about 4 times faster than anyone else in the world.

Not relevant to the OP but the ITU actually stated the term 4g may be applied to "LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed."
i DONT reccommend getting rogers 4G, purely for the excessive cost, shakey availability, and the fact that when they do actually launch, its going to be rife with problems...using 3g on my sensation is mroe than fast enough, and really, if you want fast data, just use home internet and access it with logmein from your fone...
i used to be with rogers, but the cost/bandwidth of data just didnt cut it for me...
i just unlocked my tmobile g2x to att works fine but doesnt pick up any 3g or 2g can someone please help me on what im doing wrong thanks
you aren't doing anything wrong. the g2x has the required band for 3g on att but it isn't activated even when the phone is unlocked.
you need to assign the apn information for 2g, 3g won't work (it doesn't have the bands)
You'll be stuck only with 2G unless you use the guide in the development section and select the bands for att 3G service.
Use google to find the apns for the att data. Its something like wap.Cingular.com or similar.

I have a T-Mobile Pay As You Go plan so I am wondering if I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and get it unlocked through eBay if I would be able to use it with my T-Mobile SIM card? I don't need the 4G LTE on it as I would just use my wireless Internet if I ever needed to get on the Internet. I use this phone mostly for texting, phone calls, and games. Do not use it for the 4G, 3G, etc.
Thanks for any and ALL help!
Oh and if I unlock the phone to use on T-Mobile do I need to root to flash any kernels, etc? Looked for answer to my question but was unable to find an answer.
ATT for the win jaja
Yes you do need a root to flash new kernels
Edit: and yes you can use it with any GSM provider if you get it unlocked hopes this answers your question

You are correct, ATT and tmobile have different bands in which their phones operate, so you will only get EDGE speeds at most. Also to clarify ATT's 3G data operates over 850/1900Mhz spectrum and tmobile 3G operates over 900/2100Mhz so you really can't use 3g/4g at all unless you go with another carrier like Straight Talk where they use tmobiles and ATT's towers so you recieve 3g on your smartphone. Good luck !

WOW! Thank you all for such much information, I LOVE this forum. As for the 3G honestly some may think I am crazy but I honestly don't care about the 3G/4G stuff. I use my phone for talking and texting, I never use the data plan. In fact I just don't have a data plan so it honestly don't matter to me. I just wanted to make sure my phone would be useable without having to root it, change the kernels, etc. to make calls and text family & friends.
So thank you ALL for all your information and taking the time to share it. It is very much appreciated!
The Skyrocket says it supports LTE 700/1700/2100 so does the Galaxy Note and they just found a way to use the Galaxy Note on TMobile 4g so wouldn't this phone support it as well? They have the same specs.

How do you use your skyrocket on tmobile and get 4g speeds?
As the title says! Now by combo im referring to ROM + RADIO + KERNEL!
A good example would be tspx23's [Combination juggernaut 4.1/faux kernel NOT overclocked/KL1 Radio] which gets 4G on the West Coast.
The phones been out for a while so i'm just trying to gather info before I buy the phone tomorrow. Thanks again!

Not to be daft, but if you're going on T-Mobile why are you bothering with a Skyrocket? Yes I know you can get it to work on T-Mobile, but unless you're getting a SPECTACULAR deal on an unlocked Skyrocket or you absolutely need a SD Card, why not just get the Galaxy Nexus? It has a better screen, nicer physical profile (IMO) and it's the current flagship Google device, meaning you'll get all the updates before everyone else, not to mention it's only $350 and a truly global phone. My wife has it on a monthly 4G plan and at times I get jealous of it (except for the times when she has an Edge connection while I have HSPA+, but that's a carrier issue, not a device one.)
Just throwing that out there..

I'm already on T-Mobile but could only find a good deal on a Skyrocket sadly. I already got it not i need to do all the mods and what not.
Should just be as easy as flashing the blaze radio from the development thread. All roms should work, including the stock ROM. Flash the recommended kernel for that ROM, hint use ones the Dev told you works great. May have to configure the APN for TMobile if flashing the blaze radio didn't do it for you.

Basically if you have the OPTION on your OWN to pick depending on the server your on I would suggest getting the own for your service like if you on AT&T go get the i727 if your on T-Mobile get the S2 cause the chances are your speeds are going to be best using the phone made for the server you have chosen. ME on the other hand had LIMITED option due to circumstances I was offered to be on sprint with a parent but was cut off half way of summer so i go back to my original parent who originally took me in T-Mobile and was stuck with a sprint phone the "Motorola Photon 4G" which thanks to a dev on XDA was allowed to unlock the SIM slot for DOMESTIC GSM (USA) with that in mind i liked it but data speeds were sad so i grabbed the i727 and unlocked it so here i am. I will give you output on the speeds once i find stable Combination.

Kernel won't change things up for your data speed either
Try your own combos see what works for you. Reported
Ok ill give it a shot and why report? This may be helping people on the east coast, because a dev already help people in the West coast. PM me if you don't wanna talk aloud

Should just be as easy as flashing the blaze radio from the development thread. All roms should work, including the stock ROM. Flash the recommended kernel for that ROM, hint use ones the Dev told you works great. May have to configure the APN for TMobile if flashing the blaze radio didn't do it for you.

Basically if you have the OPTION on your OWN to pick depending on the server your on I would suggest getting the own for your service like if you on AT&T go get the i727 if your on T-Mobile get the S2 cause the chances are your speeds are going to be best using the phone made for the server you have chosen. ME on the other hand had LIMITED option due to circumstances I was offered to be on sprint with a parent but was cut off half way of summer so i go back to my original parent who originally took me in T-Mobile and was stuck with a sprint phone the "Motorola Photon 4G" which thanks to a dev on XDA was allowed to unlock the SIM slot for DOMESTIC GSM (USA) with that in mind i liked it but data speeds were sad so i grabbed the i727 and unlocked it so here i am. I will give you output on the speeds once i find stable Combination.

I know that....I would all day anyday use a T mobile phone with T mobile or an AT&T phone with AT&T...especially with these sophisticated devices...I always see here people unlocked their skyrockets fine, flashed TMobile radios and report crappy data speeds and awful coverage...So I'm asking if anybody did use t mobile with skyrocket and data working fine (no crappy download or upload speeds)

I can't get a decent 4g download speed either. I'm currently on Embryo 5.1 and Kernel CYMBALINE-RD03-2.6. I've tested most of the radio that have been posted and still only getting around 550kbps dl and 25kbps ul on all of the radios. Getting over 10Mbps dl and ul on a tmobile phone next to it. Maybe my settings are wrong or something, but I've dial *#2263# and forced it to WDCMA 1700.
does anybody have GPS issues with lack of accuracy and long time to lock? i've never had good GPS performance with the skyrocket on tmobile radios. (i never ran this phone on att network and att radio, so i do not know if GPS performance is any good on ATT radio)
Skyrocket on Tmobile
