I've decided that my next phone will be a HTC sensation, but what if we could buy a HTC sensation xe back cover, use it on an original sensation, then BAM! Red speaker grill, black back cover and beats audio logo printed on. That coupled with a custom ROM that gives you a beats audio profile will give you a sensation identical to a sensation xe except for the red LED lights and the higher capacity battery( you could buy high capacity battery).
So, what do you think?
I thought this was obvious? Lol
But yeah, I hope I can get a XE cover soon, I want to make the current one brushed aluminum

Had this idea as soon as I saw sensation xe, unfortunately haven't been able to find any back covers for sale
As soon I get the chance, I will do it!
I've heard it won't work. Something to do with the pins or the antenna on the back covers being different. But don't take my word for it lol

I think thats just the T-Mobile USA it applies to, as the antenna is different on the Sensation 4G

Go to ebay uk search 'htc sensation xe back cover' its the 8th or 9th one down it says 'ORIGINAL OEM HTC SENSATION XE BEATS AUDIO BLACK REAR BACK DOOR BATTERY COVER' It might be from hong kong but its a start, only £30 too!
i've been thinking about how to do this with a tmous sensation... and this is what i've found.... the XE back has a spot for the 4g contact... what do you guys think?
You can always purchase the new XE cover from ebay and pop off the top plastic piece and replace it with your original one so you can retain the antenna. The camera ring also pops off. The only difference would be the plastic will be two-tone from the bottom piece like the original sensation.

That white one looks nice. Like to see what else turns up in the future.
would it work on sensation 4G?
I guess check if the contacts are in the right place on the pics

My Sensation is a Z710a (Australian model) It doesn't have the contact on the top left but does use 4G. It used to show a H but since changing to Coredroid, it shows 4G. (it also shows up as a Z710e now)If that missing contact is supposed to be the 4G antenna, how am I using 4G?
Also, what are the small contacts on the left about 2/3rd's of the way down? mine has 3
Hey whats up guys! I have T-Mobile and just got my White HTC Sensation housing from ebay. It came with only 3 antennas but just so you know, I still get 4G, Wifi and GPS. It works perfect! Also it actually got rid of the grip of death issue as well.
Heres some links...

nice time for me to get one as well
Up for trade is a perfect condition unlocked, rooted, and modded HTC Sensation. The phone has been hacked to run HTC Sensation XE software ( the newest model ) which means that instead of having a 1.2 dual core it will have 1.5 dual core which means that the phone will be even faster. It also comes with beats audio technology which improves the music listening quality. The phone is in good condition . The phone comes with the usb cable, charger, case, and box.
I believe that for about a second.

Does that mean it's over clocked?

Well, technically it all true

I don't see anything wrong with it. There are roms available that enable the beats audio, and you can also over clock to 1.5

I believe everyone has the same thoughts on this...Why is this funny? Where is the hilarity in a statement like that which is a majority of phones on here? Plus he should have done the chrome mod to bang that in there too
I think the joke here is on the OP!
I think the joke lies in the statement "it now has a 1.5 processor" majority people that dont know root, or know the meaning of it will read it as he upgraded the processor to 1.5, not Over clock it, when you read it in that type of sense its kinda funny

Finally someone with some humor
He's essentially saying the Sensation magically turns into the Sensation XE, b/c of a ROM & CPU bump, when in reality the phone is still a Sensation as before. Such magical transformations are only possible on apple products adding to the irony of that listing.

But the XE is basically a ROM and CPU bump, so that ad seems spot on.
Well considering that the CPU is actually underclocked out of the box. It actually is a dual 1.5 speed chip, so when we bump it up we are actually setting it to the speed it was made for. I see nothing wrong with the Craigslist post.

nothing is funny about that ad at all. xe is basically the og sensation just not underclocked and includes that "beats" technology that they didnt include on the sensation
Hi - anyone bought one of these, I know there is a White cover thread, but anyone bought the black one with beats audio?
Does it fit the original HTC Sensation? Anyone have pics they can share?

That's for the Sensation XE. Would it even fit/be compatible?
It will work with the regular Sensation, but not the Sensation 4G

There's a standard 3G Sensation?
I thought there was the Sensation which was the Sensation 4G, the XE and the XL.

Are you sure about that? I thought whatever fits the xe should fit the T-Mobile sensation 4g aswell

Yes.
There's the Sensation (The original one), Sensation 4G (for the US), Sensation XE (The beats version of the original) & Sensation XL (Bigger screen, slower processor)

The Sensation 4G has an extra antenna in it to be able to use 4G. (Meaning there's an extra connector on the inside of the battery cover)
The Sensation & Sensation XE are both 3G only phones.

but the sensation "4g" is really just 3g, its HSPA+. I thought I read somewhere that the missing antenna has no effect whatsoever on reception/data.
isnt the sensation xe 4g as well? so shouldnt it work?

Nope.
It's 3G like the regular Sensation.
It will fit on a Sensation 4G but like i said, one of the antennas won't connect to it like the rest.
I've seen a few people say that it doesn't make much difference, but others have said it means that you hardly get any signal. Have a look at some threads that talk about both phones and make a decision based on what you read.
I've had that beats cover on my phone for the last few weeks. I have a TMobile Sensation 4G. It works just fine with it
Any pictures of the black beats cover?
So it does work good on your tmoblie 4g

I have the white one and I get great 4g coverage and GPS wifi still works great. The best thing I can think of is that I don't have creaking on the bottom left anymore. The case fits better

Link for purchase?
Just to confirm, I currently own a Sensation XE and am on T Mobile USA. My son has a Sensation 4g. While true, the Sensation 4g case does have an extra connector in its back plate, I have swapped the back plates and was able to connect to T Mobile's network instantaneously with both.
I wouldn't worry about if I were you.
Ask yourself this..Is it really worth spending $30 on a back cover? I mean if your back cover is missing, then yeah its worth it. Otherwise not so much.
Although it does look pretty cool
haha, i have to agree, my back cover is chipped so bought a replacement on ebay for 13.99, just plain black.
now if the beats logo one was around $15 shipped, i would buy it but not for these $25-$30+ range

Hey everyone,
i've been on these forums for years now and only just have decieded to make an account. Appreciate all the hard work.
Now I had a question as you can see from the title. Will the sensation XE door work on my normal sensation? I was thinking since we have our antenna's in the battery doors.
Thanks!
yes, they are compatible
There is an extra set of contacts on the 4g back covers ...don't know if thats anything important...on side with speaker

Is your device still under warrantee? If yes I'd ask for repair. If not and your digitizer is going out you can replace yourself. You tube has a really clear how to video on digitizer replacement. You can order the part yourself. Are you rooted? If yes out of curiosity have you tried a different rom to see if issue is still present? Do some experimenting and see if issue remains with different roms. If yes then it's likely your device needs to be repaired. Also another option if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself is calling a local repair shop to fix the issue. This way you won't have to bother with going back to stock to send it in. Also your likely to get a good deal with a local shop. I'd call around and tell them the issue. You can order the part yourself and have them put it in. Cheaper this way too! This is what I'd do. Best of luck to you! Hope this post is helpful. Good luck!
