I'm still putting my money on a June 8th release. There's absolutely no way the date and location "hints" on the press release images were coincidental.

Maybe it's available for pre-order on the 8th.

Hey Sonny, are you getting the sensation. Either this or evo 3d for me.

So release date between 8th and 12th June + wait for root period

Agreed. T-Mobile usually releases phones on Wednesdays. June 8 is a Werdnesday, whereas June 12 is a Sunday.

I just got the G2x, I will get the Sensation too and then decide which one I like better. Not too concerned with the bootloader as I'm sure someone will crack it eventually.

Cool. Does the G2x have an encrypted bootloader? Or is it already cracked?

G2x ships with an unlocked bootloader.

HTC rep here,
I can confirm that the subsidized price will indeed be $199.99 on a 2-year contract.
I know most markets are different but here in DFW we are having our HTC Sensation launch party on June 6th and will be available in stores on the 8th.

So non subsidized price will indeed be $500?

I love the Sensation and I am willing to give up my brand new arc for it but ONLY if its rootable

so once the sensation is out, can we expect the price of the incredible S to drop? because it doesnt make sense to me that the incredible S price is over $500 non subsidized and the sensation is going to cost even less? i find it odd...

Leaving for work in about 30 minutes. Today is our quarterly meeting/HTC Sensation training. I will have this confirmed and answered and possibly with some photos by the end of the day.
If you have any questions about the device just reply quote em' here and I'll be checking throughout the day and get as many of them answered from the engineers.
Side notes: The prototype that we played with the other day had 5 different little holes scattered throughout the back (I'll try to get a detailed pic of it today). Apparently, they're mic/antenna's. Once the case is off you can see the antenna lining around the back where the holes were placed... very interesting design. The engineer did say the final version might not have them though, as they did look really... strange. Also if you place the phone face down, the screen does not touch the surface.

I'm liking the insider information here. This is much better than videos on YouTube going over the same features.
I just got a G2x and I'm thinking about the sensation, however I'm not inclined to go HTC if they're going to start locking things down. Cyanogen is pro-G2x at the moment and noted on twitter (I think) that they're not going to support the sensation if its locked down.
I am basing my next purchase solely on the support of cyanogen and a few others may be doing the same. It would be nice to know whether the bootloader would be locked or not as well as current battery life stats - real ones.

HTC Sensation does NOT have encryption on their bootloader.

"Off contract" means that you're not required to extend or renew your contract to get a subsidized phone price.
Generally speaking, you _should_ be able to walk into any wireless carrier store and purchase any phone at full price without signing a contract or even activating a line. With most Verizon and Sprint phones, this is a moot point due to CDMA.
I purchased a G2x last Wednesday from the T-Mo store. I've got an Even More Plus plan, so I had the option of either getting the phone through an EIP, pay-per-month or full-price. Because they discounted the phone, EIP wasn't available, so I dropped my card and went on my way.
Only to return it last night.
You should be able to go into the T-Mobile store and simply tell them that you'd like to purchase the phone, for full price, and if they resist, find another store. It should be easy to give the excuse of traveling overseas and/or giving it as a gift and activating it later.

[Q] Anyone who has the Sensation go to a T-Mobile Store for accessories?

I got my sensation on the 8th at Walmart and went to a different T-Mobile store this morning and the rep would not sell me the cases they had in stock. I figured that they can't sell the phone, but I imagined that the accessories had nothing to do with it. Is this common?

Sounds like they are just butt hurt because Walmart broke procedure and they can't. Means lost sales for the associates at Tmo.
I think they could sell them to you if they wanted to; don't see why they would have a reason not to unless corporate just told them to kill all sales of all sensation accessories in light of the Walmart issue.
i'm going to stop by Tmo this afternoon to see if they have some parts and will report back.

I went to a tmobile store yesterday and the told me they are not putting them out till the 15th. He asked if i planned on picking up the phone when they come out and i told him I already have one and he commented "Walmart?" lol

Yea, same experience; said they won't put them out till the 15h; oh well. Lost another sale, just get it online.

This happened to me when I got my G2x. I bought it online, and got the phone before the stores were allowed to sell them in-store. They wouldn't sell me a case no matter what argument I used. I even tried to bribe the guy at Tmo with a twenty dollar bill. I ended up getting a better case off ebay for 1/4th the prive.

My store "officially" won't sell them till the 15th either.

i got mine from ebay and came in about 2 days from ordering it.
seller is case_ology
cases are alright

Mine sold me a case and screen protectors in a heartbeat,asked did I have a Sensation and I said that I bought it at Walmart,gave me 20% off which was still not enough but cant take no chances with this baby.Body glove was 23 after discount and screen protectors were 11 and are nicer than I imagined

FWIW... the T-Mobile store in north Colorado Springs (Falcon Landing shopping center) sold me screen protectors earlier this morning - as long as it was in the system, they were good to sell the accessories.

I might go up there for ****s and giggles later to make the reps there upset.

Went to 2 different T-Mobile locations...the first had never even heard of the phone. The second just acted snippy, saying the phone doesn't even come out til the 15th...upon which I whipped mine out (that doesn't sound quite right...but hey) and they drooled a bit.

The tmobile store i went to sold me a rubber case. The manager was hella mad i had the phone tho. He was like where did u get it, i told him walmart and he was like there not aloud to sell phones early they're lucky i dont work there. I was like whatever dude thanks for the case lol.

Want a Sensation on Orange?... Could be a problem

Hey guys, thought I'd share something that I found out today.
So, I've been waiting patiently (kinda) for the sensation to be released on Orange. Pretty much every other day I've called up and pestered Orange customer services or gone into one of their stores to ask about this phone, hoping that one day I'll strike it lucky and it'll be in stock.
Anyway, today, whilst on one of my random visits, I asked if they had any in stock and I was told that that sensation had failed Orange's software tests (so I guess Orange's crappy software didn't like this phone!) and that it may not be coming to Orange at all!
I was pretty pissed so I called orange customer support and, after explaining that I knew their 'dirty little secret' the lady on the other end told me that what the guy in the store had told me the truth and that the sensation had failed its tests. She was a little more optimistic though and told me that a second wave of tests was going to be carried out and I might be able to expect the phone sometime during the beginning of July.
I' still pretty annoyed by this... why can't phones just be unlocked and free of all the software that providers pile onto them?
I'm considering Vodafone after this... the only thing that's keeping me with Orange is the 25% discount I've built up. Any British Sensation owners had any problems with Vodafone?

Can anyone who has a Sensation on Orange tell me if it has been branded (orange logo somewhere on the phone's casing) & if it does have the usual Orange crud pushed into the software on the phone?

Nope! I moved to Vodafone from T-Mobile to get the Sensation when it was released on 19th May. The signal is much better than T-Mobile or 3, and I seem to get a "H" symbol more often than before. Voice calls seem to connect better too, none of the huge pauses I had with T-Mobile or 3.

As the thread was started on the 18th and I was offered the phone today I thought it appropriate to ask within the thread rather than post a brand new thread.

Was this from an orange store or calling them up? I really want this phone so it would be good to know where you were offered this. I haven't checked into a store or called them up since Monday since they told me not to try until July, I've just been checking the web since.

Yesterday they said the phone could be with me today so they are are either selling SIM locked phones with no Orange Software or someone, somewhere is getting a little confused at customer services

Haha, maybe they are, though perhaps you're right in thinking that they're selling SIM locked phones.
I called Orange again just now and the woman on the other end told me that the Sensation should be in stock come mid-July.
Think it's possible to carry over a discount after buying a phone from one of these online retailers? Maybe calling up Orange and letting them know that you're still with them but decided to get a phone from elsewhere?

Well I decided to order from that site as I figured, going on what you were told about the phone being available on Orange mid-July and that the site say the phone will be with me on Tuesday, that if it arrives with Orange software and SIM locked, I can return it within 7 days & cancel the contract. However, if they are selling Orange contracts & the Sensation and your information is correct then I may be lucky to get an Orange-free phone.

I received delivery of the HTC sensation yesterday, ordered from the site mentioned above by Pride429 on an Orange contract, after upgrading from an O2 HTC HD2. I preordered the Sensation at the end of May.
I swapped the sims and both models are not simlocked and there is no Orange logo on the Sensation anywhere.
So far, I've been very impressed. Miles quicker and will use T-Mobile when no Orange signal, which is good as only Orange works where I live.
Fantastic upgrade.

Thank you for that superb & most welcome information - fingers crossed I get exactly the same as I sometimes have the same issues with signal

Good news - my Sensation arrived today from the site I posted - SIM unlocked (just finishing using my previous Virgin contract on it) & more importantly, no damn orange software or branding.
Looks as though I have been lucky as I had been told they only sold Orange contracted Sensations that are SIM locked.
Very happy - now to get down to some serious fingering!

G2X/Sensation Exchange Question?

I purchased my G2X 4/19 through the retentions department and never exchanged yet. It's been fairly good to me so far other than the internet dns issues. I have been waiting around for the updates to come but who knows when that will come. I am now experiencing random reboots and phone getting hot in my pocket for no reason. I want to call in report the issues to tmobile for an exchange but really would hate to receive a refurb device and only to receive a worse device than I have.
I know the website has been showing out of stock for the last month but does TMobile have devices readily available for exchanges or are those also out of stock? I'm trying to figure out if I could somehow use this in my favor if I can ask them if I could have a sensation instead?

I have been lied to so many times by different reps. One says they can give ne the galaxy s 4g for free (which I don't want). The other says I could pay $50 to get the sensation. I said no to that. The next Rep stated there are no offers other than exchanging for the same thing. I am on my fourth G2X and it is getting rediculous. I emailed a long letter to a bunch of the corporate execs about this unacceptable and incobsistent service. We will see what happens. Their whole thing is that the g2x msrp is $499 whereas the sensation is $549. They say the sensation is a more expensive phone and you have to pay to "upgrade", even though it is the only comparable replacement at this point.

Then pay the $50 and get the Sensation. If the Sensation is $50 more then it is $50 more. If you walked into a Tmobile store right now, they wouldn't sell you a Sensation for $500.
Basically they are giving you a refund of $500 to put toward another phone. That is pretty generous.
If the OP hasn't had any problems then I'm going to assume he hasn't called in any replacements. They typically don't offer other models until they've shipped out 3 replacements (the 4th offering a different make/model). I think the OP is asking whether they still have refurbs to send out... which I think they still do. So you'd probably have to go through the whole replacement process for a while, which isn't cool just to get a different phone.
I had a replacement shipped to me once and it had horrible backlight bleeding. I called and told them it was defective and shipped it back. My original phone I bricked but revived, thankfully.
All in all, I would call and ask and see what they say. If they send you a refurb, send it back it is worse off.

The only way your going to get a even replacement is getting a rep who actually knows about phones and is willing to get a supervisor override.

if the update comes out and these problem still exists, then LG & Tmobile will really hear from the customers. They better be ready for the bad press/back lash

After being treated like crap with customer service, I wrote a well worded letter and sent it to all the big wigs at TMobile corporate figuring I would finally get the sensation for free (if they valued my service). I asked for the sensation at no charge or for them to let me out of my contract since they continue to give me a faulty phone. Cindy Maes called me today and stated that they would accept the $50 upgrade but they would do no more. She also said they would not let me out of contract. When I mentioned filing a complaint with the BBB, she said she looks into all complaints from them and that she would not be calling me back and the offer would no longer be valid!!! Now that is guts. No wonder they have been slipping in service year after year......
Should I just pay the $50 for the sensation?

is the problem just light bleed or are you having freezing/reboot problems...just a fair warning the sensation is without it's faults also. You are most likely to get dust under the screen due to poor manufacturing. My wife has the same issue with her MT4G but it doesn't bother her like it would me. Just don't be surprised if you run into issues with the sensation.

I think all these manufacturers need a lesson in QC/QA, or at least fire the staff they currently have and get a new one. It's seems commonplace that all Android devices are not created equal.

Well writing a "well worded" letter to corporate doesn't guarantee you anything especially if its demanding. Getting a $500 phone for $50 is a good deal and you should have jumped on it- assuming they let you keep the g2x also.

They said I would have to send back the G2X............

At this point is so freaking hard to judge which phome to keep since both seem to have issues.
What makes me want to keep my G2x is the unlock bootloader and the Tegra 2 plus the super snappy interface.
Where I start thinking if I should get the Sensation over the G2x is that the G2x haven't been in their website for over a month and this delayed updates making LG and T-Mobile look very very unreliable.
I will be starting a business and I need a reliable phone that will be supported.
Anyway, any thoughts?

One X taken off shelf due to lawsuit?

My One X got stolen yesterday (another story), so I went to ATT yesterday to replace it. Was told it was taken off the shelf due to the Apple/HTC lawsuit. Sales guy had no idea when that happened, only that it wouldnt let him sell me one.
He had no eta.

When I went to get my HTC One X, which was a couple days after the lawsuit was announced, no one in the store even knew that there was a lawsuit going on.

I was in my local corporate AT&T store yesterday exchanging my HOX because the bottom of the case started to separate from the glass. They still had stock and were selling them.

It's like that at a couple stores around me too, it amazes me that they aren't educated on these matters but in some instances I think they are "trained" to tell unaware customers a different story. Would the average user even know anything about the ITC and/or patent laws?

From what I have heard they have stopped selling it in the non-LTE markets.

I've tried to exchange my phone in the last week but my local store and apparently every other store in i'm city are all out of stock. I was forwarded to the warranty repair center who admitted to the hold up from customs and placed a note on my account extending my 30 days return until my local store receives more in stock. I was told to check Monday, though with that being Labor Day i do expect it then either.

It's an import ban, not a stop sale. Customs held them up. A stop sale would require court intervention. There's no reason other than confusion for those in the country already not to be sold.

I convinced a friend to switch from iphone to one x after he saw mine. He called up AT&T and tried to order. The guy asked him if he was talking about vivid because that's the only thing that was coming up in his system.

Walked into an AT&T store on Monday and bought one no problem. They had several of each color in stock.

This. I went to att in middle Tennessee today and asked for one. Everyone just gave each other a look like I was gonna rob the store or something. Said they had no information for me (really?) And kept trying to sell me a lumia. I was all like hell naw lol.

It's an import ban, not a stop sale. Customs held them up. A stop sale would require court intervention. There's no reason other than confusion for those in the country already not to be sold.

100% accurate. The company I work for has them in stock and is selling them.

Why would that be? Is that going to be a general rule for them now or is it somehow related to the ban?

HOX discontinued!!
I called in and just got off the phone with a att warenty and sales department about getting a phone replaced because the loud speaker quit. after an hour and half on the phone the lady finally came back and told me that this phone is as of now discontinued, and was told to pick out a different phone and they would replace it with it. I asked how long it would be till they recieved more and I would wait till then, well after being switched to a supervisor I was informed that AT&T would not be selling the HOX again, and in no way could it be replaced.
my advise is to be carefull with your phone. I am going to contact HTC and see if there is any way to get it fixed or replaced directly through them.

What the?! Can anybody else confirm this? If this is true I wonder what it will do to the support of this phone by HTC?
