[Q] Advice on course of action - HTC Sensation

So, I recently cracked the top of my screen. Digitizer still works and so does the screen (minus the small black blob from the crack on the top)
My question is, should I un-root, S-On, go back to stock and request a replacement? Will I even get another sensation seeing as I heard some people were receiving Amaze 4g's as replacement.
Or should I buy a new screen + digitizer and replace it myself?

If you have insurance I would just go that way but I would hope you don't get the amaze I don't like it and the development sucks

Bump for anyone who has recently replaced their Sensation's through insurance. Did you all get a Sensation back?

[q] shattered screen

i dropped htc inspire this am.. gna send it to htc to repair... should i UNROOT???
That would be a great idea...make sure you have S-On
1)with a shattered screen, i highly doubt they will cover you under warranty, so who cares about if its rooted/romed/etc, you pay for it to be fixed they wont care
2)my experience with my old nexus one that had dust under the screen, they replaced it no problem and i was running CM
You can send it to HTC or mobiletechvideos...

Anyone with touchscreen issues got your phone replaced?

My phone is giving me so much problems that I'm about to get it replaced? Did anyone try this and got a working device. I'm on T-Mobile USA btw.

I'm on T-Mobile UK... Nah, I haven't tried that. Not really worth the hassle. If I did and was unsuccessful, i'd smash it and claim for a new one. (Insurance).
Good luck playa'!

You can call tmobile and tell them your issues and they'll walk you through many troubleshooting steps to try and resolve your problems. sometimes they even actually work!
There are somethings that they will replace your phone pretty quickly like touch screen being nonresponsive or the speaker not working among others.
There are quite a few things that will void your warranty tho. If you have any physical damage, water damage or have rooted your phone.
Assuming your phone is still under warranty and they can't fix the defect with their troubleshooting then they will few glad to replace it for you for a newly instituted fee of $5. Shipping will be paid both ways via UPS.

And by the way, yes. I had my first TMOUS sensation replaced due to touchscreen issues. Had my new one for a couple of weeks now and haven't had one problem with it!

[Q] Is there a better aftermarket housing for my sensation?

I have the one it came with but the volume rocker broke. I can easily get it fixed via warranty through HTC ( i had the screen replaced about a week ago just fine) but I'd like to know if theres a better made one out there that works properly with the wifi, 4g etc. Thanks!
One word, ebay

Has anyone replaced their AUO screen with a Sharp?

I have a sensation that needs a new LCD panel. I'm pretty sure it came with an AUO and I would like to replace it with a Sharp panel. Has it ever been done before?

I don't think so l. I have read posts saying that you have to use a certain screen depending on the one you had or the screen will become laggy and unresponsive when replaced.

Does that go for the LCD panel itself or just the Digitizer? Im having a hard time finding out how to tell what type a LCD is before I buy it. They should have printed either Sharp or AUO on the back of it so it would be obvious to buyers lol.

[Q] What to look for on a used Sensation

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade to a sensation. I'm coming from the MT4G and was wondering what I should look for when looking for a used sensation. I'm going the Craigslist route because I cant upgrade just yet. Just wondering if any devices came with any defects. In the mytouch world the mytouches had two different screens. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys
Sensation also has two different screen makers, but the difference is night and day like the MT4G.
Second, make sure it works. Its a phone after all. Open the back cover and make sure the pins aren't bent.
The two screens should be alright, some people prefer the acer screen vs the sharp screen. It doesn't matter unless you want to notice it. That's pretty much it, check for the usual water damage, and warranty void sticker on one of the screws.

How can you tell which one you have and which is better?

Just realized you're a Giants fan also.
Some people prefer the AUO screen and some prefer sharp. Unless you have OCD you're not going to care as much if you have an AUO screen.
I prefer sharp though.
Check in H Boot to make sure it's not H Boot 1.23, s on, it's no bueno for flashing radios or RUU because it can't be unlocked via any method and your stuck on incomplete firmware with no way out. In other words, you can't unlock the parts of the bootloader needed to flash firmwares, etc. This is more important than sharp or acer screens, IMO. No going back to stock. H Boot 1.23 s off is fine.

1.17.0000 is fine as you can use revolutionary.io to S-OFF the phone.
If it's later 1.20/1.23/1.27 you need to ensure the phone is already S-OFF. There are a few folks that have updated the HBOOT before S-OFF'ing the phone and now stuck.
