I was wondering if the Sensation is still worth buying? Browsing through this forum I found many people having some problem or the other..is it really a bug magnet or what?

This is the longest I've ever owned a phone lol. If I can get a good deal I might jump to the One S in a few months for the camera and the body but i really love my Sensation
Awesome device...Get it before it's too late
And what about the problems
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA
I've had my Sensation since this past August and after many hours spent tinkering, trying out custom ROMs, the only problem I've ever had is that I don't see an icon when I get voicemails. I saw the notifications initially but after unlocking it at the end of that August I haven't seen the icon again.
If something happened to mine, I would consider another model but I'd probably try and scope out a good deal on another Sensation 4G. It's a great phone!
considering the low price it goes for on the used market its completely worth it!!!
Does it beat the EVO 3d?
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA
They're almost the same phones - Evo3D has dual cameras, 3D display and larger battery (can be bought for the Sensation as well) and 1 GB RAM (instead of 768).
Take your pick.
It's very worth, due to the lower price. I like my sensation
It's a good phone, you can get them quite cheap off eBay, mine cost very little (comparatively speaking).
Great phone, still loads of support from devs
I haven't experiences any problem like dust under the screen or the like. Everything works great, and sense4 functions well.
If you want a used and cheap phone get the sensation. But i advise you, if you're going to spend big then look for other phones like the Galaxy Nexus or wait for the GS3.

What problems? Before to buy Sensation I watched a lot of videos on Youtube, read a lot of fourms etc - haven't find any problems, and while using also there's no problems. And mine is rooted and Sense 4 is just great, no need for One S.
Sensation is way to go
so i just got myself a Sensation XE, exchanged my One V since that was a good performer yet still had many defects, and woahhhh i'm absolutely LOVING this XE!
Thnx to everybody for their replies! i'm completely happy with my choice and jus can't stop lookin at the big boy..
Yep. I thought it was a bugfest here too but since the price started to get really cheap last month I bought one and surprisingly it was well worth it. Very fast and responsive on ICS (specially when on Custom rom). Development is superb too. Only issue I have is the poor battery life but these can be solve by buying an aftermarket battery (something like anker or chichitec w/c has 1900 mah).
I bought mine for $250 last month

I have a desire but plan to get the sensation next week. I have been following the threads on here and there seems to be a lot of issues:
3 types of screen some good some bad,
Poor build quality, creaking handset,
Data issues, cutting off,
WiFi issues, cutting off during screen off,
Sense keeps rebooting.
Would you advise anyone to get the sensation?

I think it was worth the upgrade from the DHD, so definitely worth it from desire.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I also agree it was worth the update from DHD
Go for it. I'm well happy with mine. No real issues at all. There is slight creaking but it's more to do with the outer shell which houses the main body of the device. Overall its a solid piece of kit.
Sent from my brain
I have had majority of new handsets and to be honest the sensation is my favourite
I had the galaxy s2 yes screen is better and a lot faster (3200 on quadrant compared to 2032 on sensation) but the computer software is buggy and that's how you update any firmware pushes , its hard to get videos to play if they are on memory card
I've had iPhone 4 to and the sensation is better also updates are ota

I've recently upgraded to an unlocked Sensation on Orange from an HD2 and just love it; it doesn't freeze, creak, get hot, reboot, leak light or have a grainy screen. It just sits there, urging me to play with it and enjoy it, like a kid in a toy shop.
All I've done is play games, download music and silly Apps and I've even managed to read some threads here and download the Terminal Emulator to find out which screen I have.
I really enjoyed the HD2 and now have that for work as they supply some postage stamp sized Nokia thing and at 48, I can't see the blighter!
For me, the Sensation was the right move and I hope to enjoy it for many months to come. My son has the DHD and he's sniffing round mine, with his roms and talk of bootloaders!!! He can bog off and buy his own!
I upgraded to the sensation a few weeks ago from the Desire and to be honest the only thing that is better on the Desire than this is having root and s-off. Go for it

Yes.
Asked a similar question in the [Q] forum. Just picked one up.
After hearing approval from my N1 brothers, I concur.
Its worth it.
I read the complain threads here on xda and most of the time the issues are not as bad as the posters make them out to be. I have an Incredible S right now and before that a Nexus One. The Nexus One got so many complaints, but after I brought the phone it ended up being one of the best phones I owned. Same with the Incredible S. As for the Sensation I'll probably get one this summer.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Yes it's worth it for me! Upgraded from an HTC Wildifre so it's pretty much night and day with the Sensation!
Internal hardware wise the SGS2 are better but OS software implementation Sensation are the best plus the higher resolution support are way good for videos on Sensation, I recommend the sensation over SGS2 anytime. I gave u 1 example on just the lockscreen, with SGS2 u have to drag the whole page right to the top just to unlock it and that is irritating enough for me but with the sensation it unlocks the screen just with a bit slide. So it is still up to u again on what to buy in the end. U have to try it both before u buy any.....goodluck

Jasand the phone is bound to have a few glitches with software which HTC will fix in firmware updates the only glitch I have is the free RAM which is always around 129mb despite the phone having loads built in ... But I have run a few things at once and not had a slow down just use the built in task manager if your worried but to be honest android does a good job at managing background stuff for you
The only other issue is battery just use juice defender
What I would do however is buy from somewhere reputable as a few of us including me have had faulty handsets (hot battery and I mean HOT)
Good luck in your quest

Ok I just got the Sensation and already own a DHD I am torn as to which one to keep. I love the Sensation but noticed the battery gets very hot compared to the DHD . I have read the forum and there is no solution to the hot battery yet.. So now I am torn between keeping the Sensation or the DHD. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
The sensation is dual core. Every dual core device gets a little bit warmer then single core devices.
If your hands are to soft to deal with it, change it back. ;-)
Btw. under normal use my sensation doesn't get really hot?!

I was playing a game on it when I noticed it. Did you get a different battery for yours? How do you like it so far?
In games that's a absolute normal behavior.
I ordered the chichitec 1900mah but it's not there yet.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Yes games will make it much hotter than under normal use because of the fact that they use much more power. As for battery life it is worse than most single core phone because of the fact that you have more to power. The ability to flash custom roms to the device will enable much more optimized roms. This will "hopefully" make batteries drain slower. Also if you look in the accessories section you will see a lot of suggestions on different batteries.

I had a Desire HD since release date and it was a great phone (best i've ever had) but then i won a Sensation from HTC Australia, so i thought i might as well use the newer phone and sell the DHD (which i've gotta do soon).
After using my Sensation for about 2 weeks , i'd have to say it is definitely a better phone. It's faster, has a brighter (& higher res) screen, the batter has been lasting longer and feels better in my hands. Although the DHD is still an awesome phone with heaps of great feature.
If i was you i'd keep the Sensation and sell the DHD. Unless you need the extra money then sell the Sensation & keep your DHD

Thanks I will take a read through.
The Desire HD is still a capable and modern phone. If you have any issues with the Sensation then I would say return it. You can always get it again later on (or get any other, newer phone to come out in that time). You might even be able to score a better price if you purchase it later. So, again, if you have an issue with the Sensation now, then return it and buy it again later, especially when development matures a bit.
If you can't return your Sensation and have to sell it as used instead, then I say just keep the Sensation.

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.
I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?
It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

I must have got lucky because I have had zero problems with my phone. I even slammed it in the back hatch of my car right on the screen with the latch and all it did was rip the screen protector. I have been flash happy with it from day one changed the radio countless times. I test every ROM that I can find (some of them so bad I'm lucky it still works) and never one problem with the phone. I agree the new LG phones look kinda cheap I don't think they could take the beating I have done to this thing.

Got to play with the amaze today while in a T-Mobile store. Its nothing that special. Build quality seemed nice and screen was good but overall wasn't too impressed. Ran quadrent side by side with my phone. The amaze got 2200 something while my mytouch did 2400 something without being over clocked. Although, the amaze did have about 12 megs down and 3 up which is nice. Sense 3.5 was kinda cool too but like I said nothing too spectacular.
One thing tho, it was fun showing the rep how I could hit 3400 on quadrant with fauxs kernel oc'd to 1904 MHz ( or whatever that setting is.

im almost 100% certain the htc amaze ships with sense 3.0, says so on their website...
and also keep in mind the amaze was 100% stock, and yours was modified, so imagine the potential of a phone with not only a faster processor, but dual core, and 256mb more ram, just saying...
Guys I just want to know which is the best device to go for next? SGSII OR SENSATION? what say?

It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment
I will be getting the Galaxy S III!

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.

Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!
Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable
I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.
check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation
I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

Haha, yeah i'm with you too on an Android vs Apple war =D
I'm not nit picking at you or anything, I was just pointing out something i found funny
Take it easy buddy
Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.
