Should this even be posted here? Also judging by the poor wording your phone has a sim card where as the mes does not. So you are crap out of luck as the mes is a cdma phone to begin with.

What in the **** is this? Are you 5 years old or just absolutely plastered?

HTC Issue, Hope you guys help

So right now were trying to make sure that the future of HTC's phones dont get knocked out because of the encrypted bootloader they are trying to force upon us so im just writing this to you all to make sure that the XDA members know whats going on and I was wondering if you all can help us out, these are the details:
right now i'm sure your aware of what is going on in HTC's facebook page and i wanted to know if you
would read up on what is going on and show that everyone is wanting this to be unlocked.
This first link is the petition that were all signing to show to HTC that we are wanting this:
http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloade...nd/#signatures
We want more to know about it so i was reaching out to all of you right now.
this second link is the conversation that a member who started this had with a sprint rep on facebook, it shows that sprint is not the one responsible for the locked bootloader and that they are not trying to push for it.
https://www.facebook.com/sprint/posts/156658601067283
This last link is just what xda is thinking of it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1094914
we know that they made a statement but we want to make sure that they know that we all want this to be unlocked
So pass this along and let everyone know what is happening! thanks for your help!

The links are dead. I think this is a bogus post. Admins, please review and close this thread if it is.

No surprise with future HTC phones getting locked and/or encrypted BLs. Pressure from carriers are finally getting to HTC.
Someone from XDA will crack 'em.

Seems like sprint isn't pushing this on them though, based on what i've seen with this info it seems its HTC's part here that they want to protect their Sense UI most likely. but you can help and try to change the future because that's not something i want and i'm sure no one in xda wants this either

It appears that you cut the links from another post wherein the tag get's abbreviated (the ellipsis in the middle) but the actual href is valid. You should always right click the link and "copy address" (or however it appears in your browser) instead of selecting the text directly.

Yea I saw that I have never had that issue before but wanted to get the word out there and try to get as much help as possible

Counting updates. Evo 3d & Sensation

Have you noticed how quick HTC & Sprint are to fix the issues with the Evo 3D?
Evo 3D has had 2 updates already. 1 before and 1 right after launch.
T-Mo on the other hand does nothing..and the Sensation has way more issues than the Evo 3D.
Let's weigh in and see what you guys think the reason is.
Personally i think it was just a bad batch or 2. Each device seems to have different versions of different problems. most people are only complaining because they go looking for an issue most times. Dust can only be seen if the screen is off is not anything honestly to complain about to me. A couple dead pixels? yes. Lag and things like that can be fixed i think.

T-Mo likes to put out collective updates that fix multiple things, rather than two small updates that might lead to other issues...
There aren't many major issues with this phone either...most of the ones complained about are hardware (which must be replaced) or user error. There are alot of clueless people complaining about problems that aren't even problems here.

Agree with the above post.....
People have to keep mind that the Sensation is, for a vast majority of owners, a problem free device.
Other than a speck of dust on my first one, my second one is just about perfect....hardware and software.
It's a VERY small % of Sensation owners that ever even look at any forums, let alone post on forums. Even then, the people who are on this forum and have major issues over and over are in the extreme minority.
As far as updates and s-off and all that stuff....wasn't it just a month ago that the CEO of HTC said they were going to change their policy on bootloaders? Thats not long at all...gotta give corporations time to get their ducks in a row.
For me and a VAST majority of owners of this device.....its great and doesn't really need anything that's urgent or absolutely necessary....
Oh....the OP should add one more poll question..... Is everything great with your device? My answer would be yes!

Htc has already "leaked" an update for their unbranded sensations...

IDK how to edit the questions..I tried...but i dont see a way to edit my posting other than what I typed.

Have you seen the reviews on tmobile.com? This phone has 5 STARS. There's 2 reviews that have 1 star. Probably from an apple fanboy who created accounts to spam.

I picked up my Sensation today, and the only thing that bothers me is the dang voicemail icon that's always there. Other than that. This phone is pretty awesome, and T-Mobile's network speeds compared to what I was getting with Sprint makes me wonder how in the world I stayed with Sprint so long.

Yeah jumped the gun on that one. However in your defense, there is a lot of tension on here (all over xda) over some dumb sh__! So can't really blame ya. Sorry I know this is off topic but I have been wanting to say that for a long time. Maybe its a phone forum thing...

Yeah. I don't understand why we all can't get along. We all have the same passion for the same devices. I guess newbies ARE annoying..I can agree on that. But flaming for no reason is so rude and nonproductive.

So far I'm quite happy with my Sensation. Best device I've had and I've had quite a few. However, it does seem that the Sensation is being pushed aside. At Bestbuy today there were plenty of accessories for the 3D including the Otterbox cases but absolutely nothing for the Sensation. Why? I'm not sure but its becoming rather annoying as this seems to be the case everywhere so far.

Those cases were pulled. They HAVE TO have the holes in them...So they got pulled because they didnt fit properly and they were blocking some signals for some users.
IDK when they're coming back though.

the only issue i had was all my photos including private showing in camera and video apps but fixed with delete.lol

[Q] My phone was made in china is that fake?

hey guys one week ago i just bought my sensation and i found out it was made in china behind the phone box and i googl'd about it and figured out that alot of people who got sensation was made in taiwan...did i bought a fake phone?...

It's legit. I bought two from T-Mobile directly from their website.
Both says Made In China.

oh really?so why some people got phones who was made in taiwan?

Because HTC is a Taiwanese company.
Apple is a USA company in California, all their products are Made In China... so all Apple products are fake?
If you bought your Sensation at a legitimate place and it's Made In China it's fine.
Unless you have other suspicions, your phone is legit.

ok thanks more comments please just wanna be sure ;o

WHY!?!?!??! Seriously.
If there is nothing that makes you think it's fake other than "Made In China"..... why do you think it's still fake. sheesh.
You know what, nevermind, I just thought about it more, everything Made In China is fake. Everything. Have fun.

You could give HTC in your country a call, they will be able to tell you if your phone is legit based on the IMEI or serial number under the battery.
P.S. I don't think it will be fake unless its slows have a crap screen and two sim card slots or you brought it for $100.

You can calm down as well.
Since I stopped laughing from earlier, I'll tell ya my S4G is also made in China and I've verified with HTC that it's legit. By verify, I mean they looked up my serial number and sent me a new back cover. Can't get more official than that.
This S4G was purchased directly from Tmo.
Do you feel better now?

[Q] Help!! Phone Bugged/ Tapped?

Hello Everyone,
Last night I received a very weird phone call from a private number. It was weird because it was almost midnight and they just seemed weird on the other line. I am worried that my phone potentially is tapped. Is it possible for people to tap your phone through a phone call? What are some ways that I can tell? Should I be worried. Please let me know if you guys have any ideas.
Thanks

ya..may be but no need to worry..may itz because of network problem.usually hackers doing it for getting valuable conversation.if you are so much worry about it then buy blackberry phone.you wont get such experiance.

There are a lot of weirdos out there but i suspect you were just being called by one of those dodgy call centres that call random numbers looking for marks.
Chill.

Ever since the fatherland security act was passed, there may be any one of a dozen agencies listening in on you. No worries, just make sure to give TPTTTB (the powers that think they be) an earful. . .

I to have a feeling my phone is tapped,bugged and possibly being observed by someone who is close to me. Like friends,family or possibly some tracking agency what can be done to verify these qctions
