[Q] Sensation XE root

I already have the Sensation and thinking of buying the Sensation XE.
I was wondering if I can S-Off it with Alpharevx's tool or is Sensation XE shipped already S-OFF by HTC ?

Hi,
You would not want it to be done by HTC,because you could not then remove it.
However, Revolutioary works fine on XE phones,and if you want to reverse it ,you can.
Check my sig for s-off guide.
Anyway,why would you want XE if you already have a Sensation.
They are the same phone.

I had to S-OFF mine

Thanks for the info...
I don't like to hang on to a phone more than 4-5 months , I have had my Sensation since April and I am kind of bored with it I think a RED Colour improvement could be fine Otherwise my Sensation is working perfectly well .
It just that I am bored and now I am itching to buy a new phone and unfortunately HTC did not come up with another alternative.
Until HTC come up with a new model, I thought of buying the SGS II or iPhone 4S , but I don't know why I am allergic to all "iPhone" and all "i" family and I don't like the Samsung phones. So I think the best choice is the Sensation XE
What about Evo 3D , should I buy the XE or Evo 3D ? What do you guys think ?

Sensation and the XE is about the same with the exception of a higher cpu frequency and beats audio tech... so aint much of a diff... if you're dying to change your phone why not wait awhile for the galaxy nexus?

I like the "SENSE 3.0/3.5" and HTC itself .
Since my first HTC, HTC Touch Pro in 2008 , I did not buy any other brands apart from HTC ...

I can respect that... well if thats the case then the 3d is the way to go... if you want to get the XE you could just flash one of the roms... that way you have best of both i guess...

Hi , just saw your message.
I was going to buy the Evo 3D earlier , but according to the tests I reviewed out of the 3 phones ( Sensation, Sensation XE, Evo 3D) Evo 3D seems like the slowest . So I decided to not to buy the Evo 3D
Anyway, yesterday I bought the Sensation XE already , seems a little slower than my Sensation somehow.

You where told correct, maybe try flashing custom kernel to get more speed, I recommend bricked 1.6 beta 6 as the most stable

[Q] Sensation (XE)???

hey whats up XDA Forums? i'm new to these forums and to android in general but i have a basic knowledge (kinda)... i just wanted to ask about all these ROM's and unlocks that seem to be everywhere. are they interchangeable between the sensation and the sensation XE??? like if there is a ROM or an unlock made for the sensation then can i also use it for the XE??? if not then why isnt there a separate forum section for the XE?
thanks in advance.

Yes they are, the XE is basically the same phone and all roms are usable. That's why the XE forum was closed no need for it.

I'm not on an XE I've got a T-Mobile sensation 4g. I just flashed arhd and it changes it to say that in the build.prop. (so yeah I'm rooted) I'm absolutely sure you can do anything in this forum for your phone it has the exact same hardware. The only difference is the stock CPU speed is higher, I run at a higher speed than 1.5 now anyway. I have the exact same phone as an XE except for the red in the case and the bigger battery.
All the roms pretty much work as advertised. Some better than others It's up to you to try them all and find out what you like and don't. . That's part of the fun of it.
Do I recommend it... Yes.. the sgs2 is a very good phone too, its a matter of opinion. Personally I wish I could get the gnexus but I'm happy with my sensation.
See my signature now.. I changed the build.prop to sensation 4g without changing roms. (i don't expect you to know what that is but still)

Hi to all, I'm basically new here and to android and also to sensation, I'd like to ask if there is any noticeable difference when it comes to speed between the sensation and sensation XE? because I've notice that they have the same chipset the MSM8260. If I am to buy a sensation what would you recommend to be better the basic or the XE?
Thanks alot for your time and patience with me

They have identical processors. HTC Underclocked the CPU on the standard phone down to 1.2GHz, with the XE they let it run at its default setting of 1.5GHz. With Custom ROMs you can overclock either Standard or XE to 1.7Ghz or possibly higher, depends on the actual silicon in the phone, i.e. some phones can handle overclocking better than others.
I believe the XE has a slightly larger capacity battery, up from 1500 to 1700 mAh (not certain the exact figures).

Thanks for the insights, I think I'll go with XE, because I have seen in some post that most processors are done with the same chips and then tested for stability if they are stable without errors they are sold at the advertised clock speed if not they sell it at lower speed..
so it might be a matter of luck if the underclocked cpu would be run at its default speed..
can anyone expound more on this?

Nope, My original Sensation is clocking @1.72Ghz with fantastic battery life and no overheating issues.
My recommendation would be to go for the original Sensation if you can get it cheaper Those Beats headphones aren't all they are made up to be, and i've got the XE software running quite happily.

But going for the XE also yields a better battery, so if they are the same price, i would def. go for the XE

£10/$10/€10 wisely spent in Amazon will do better than the XE battery

They won't be of the same price..its because of the over hyped beat earphone, I'm not after the earphone though, I've tested it and didm't impress me much..I'm after the battery and the case has a nicer color than the original sensation, though I'm thinking of buying the original if the price diff is wide.
I'll just buy another battery if the need arises.

by the way if any of you were give the choice between XE or XL which would you choose?

XE hands down.
XL is single core and with a slightly bigger screen, not worth it IMO. If you want a big screen with good performance get a Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Note.

Just got my new XE guys...and very happy with it..
Why doesn't HTC put all the good stuff in one unit?
I like the XE but XL got a better camera and One S got AMOLED and a bigger memory..haist the Corporate mind...

[Q] Is Sensation worth to buy?

I am xperia neo user and want to move on, and buy a new and more powerful phone.
The question is,
1. Is Sensation still worth to buy?
2. Is Sensation get official ICS update from HTC?
3. Is Development here better or worse than neo? At least from cyanogenmod.
4. Could someone give me a reason why sensation is still worth.

Way too many problems after ICS update, also the device, no matter how good it is, suffers same issue as any other electronics ... is getting old and Sensation is old. Maby you are one of those who like to tweak and fix your phone, if yes Sensation is great for you - i buy phones to be actually able to use them normaly with not that much effort put into that. Sensation just needs way too much of my attention with every new update to check what was fixed and what was ****ed more then it already was. Sensation is great piece of hardware - no doubt about that - with crap system and crap software released by a company that dont give a jack about its customers. Thats my experience with Sensation and actually any HTC so far.
But this is very specific, subjective, yet based on reality, point of view. Good luck with deciding anyway.

You sound bitter. The Sensation doesn't have any real issues for many, many people. Plenty of roms to choose from and the S3 processor is more than capable of handling ICS, Sense or not. It's a great phone.

I found mine very slow after I got ICS OTA upgrade to GB and was going to change phone (I only ever had about 60mb RAM spare).
Then I spent some time here learning about rooting/custom ROM's and went ahead and rooted/install custom ROM. I now have over 300mb RAM spare and my phone is nice and fast....now I like my Sensation again

I'm still using a 524MHz phone with no GPU, OC'ed to 710, so a Sensation should be easily fine with ICS (and yes, I'm on ICS too)

I think at hardware side its still one of the most powerfull phones. That official Android 4 is maybe a little fail (Home screen falls almost every time when you close some biiger app) and camera has really bad quality, but with custom roms these problems disapears. For actual price i would highly recommend you to buy this phone.

Thanks guys for your opinion, i think i'll get my sensation soon.

lg optimus 2x or htc desire HD?

Hey guys, just after some advice,
I need something to replace my HTC Tattoo, after a few weeks of trawling through video reviews like a monkey fossiking for nits, I've narrowed my choice to these two:
lg optimus 2x
htc desire HD
Any comments or advice to sway me in a particular direction?
Usage is: Browsing the net, emails, games, pretty much everything the phone can do.
I would most likely rip it's soul out and chuck a custom rom on it...
and i do have a budget so cant go any higher than these two really...
Thanks for any help!

Why don't you go for a newer device?
What country are you buying from and what's the budget?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I'm in New Zealand, budget is around $450 max NZD, if there are any newer comparable phones close to this price then I'm open to ideas!
Thanks!

I would suggest a HTC One V (Link) It's a pretty decent device running android 4.0 for about $450

That actually looks like an awesome phone didn't even know it existed, thanks!
I was really after a 4inch screen, but looking at that I wonder if its worth compromising on size to get a solid newer phone with smaller screen than getting an older one with a bigger screen...
Especially running ics and sense 4.0
Do you think the desire HD would get the ics and sense 4.0 update? If it did it has a bigger screen and same 1ghz processor

The 2x is a great device for the price, really speedy

The One V is a 3.7' so it's pretty close to a 4' Also the DHD well i think it is slated to receive ICS but it would only get sense 3.6 and that would most likely be it's last update. The One V is brand new and would probably receive 5.0

The one v is tempting, but for roughly same price, I don't think i can pass up the 4.inch screen dual core O2x
Especially since it's getting the ICS update later this year, and I see the devs here are close to a fully working ics rom...
Thanks for the help guys

I 've had the Optimus 2X and I was kind of dissapointed. LG just didn't make a good phone. It's ok, but I think you could go better.
Have you looked at the Galaxy S Advance?

Try to get a htc sensation or sensation XE , these are now more afordable and still are great phones , put arhd 6.6.5 rom on it with leedroidteaks and your phone will fly !

The advance looks like a nice phone, but it's about $100 out of my range, same with the sensation, guess I can try save a bit extra.
By the sounds of it I might stay away from the lg 2x, I'm glad I asked you guys now!

As a side note, had a look at the One V and Desire HD, they are identical hardware wise as far as I can see, but the desire has bigger screen and more ram, and with the rom the awesome Devs are porting, why wouldnt you get that instead?

Nice, another phone I hadn't heard of, I like it very much..
whats the sony software like? I assume there are roms available for it...
Edit: Scratch that, I see the ICS update is out for it, even nicer!
Also(not sure if this is the right place to ask) but is there any difference between phones bought elsewhere, for example, can I buy a phone from Australia(off ebay) and use it here in NZ?
As far as I am aware as long as it is unlocked it should be fine?

You could get any phone and use it there. Most european carriers don't lock their phones, but some do, and it should be written on ebay.
As for old phones, you should know that the king of phones is Galaxy S II.
Xperia S is an ok phone, that had some problems and people overall were not satisfied. Something like the Lg 2X. Ok phones, but small problems that you can't tell from looking them on pictures but only by using them.
The sensation is a good phone but compared to Galaxy S II it's worst (i am comparing them since they are at the same price range)...

there's still a lot of better phone out there

HTC Desire HD
LG Phones are laggy

Go for the htc desire HD or Sensation if possible. The developer community for these phones are great and there are stable ICS roms for both.

HTC Sensation XE, JellyBean....Yes/No ??

Hello Guys,
I have the same old Sensation XE problem of WiFi, Hotspot and Bluetooth which i took to HTC Customer Care only to get a reply "I tried downloading your update but our servers are down so the download gets terminated in between...please visit tomorrow".....same thing since more than a month. I have grown tired by that and i have stopped visiting.
Anyways, my question....do you think the XE will get a JellyBean update sooner (India) ? If yes then i would like to wait for it. But it not....i just downloaded recently uploaded stable CyanogenMod 9 and i am so tempted !!!
Thank You
:highfive:

I don't think they will because updating the sensation means they have to update Sense 3.6 AND Sense 4 to JB. I don't think they will want to go through the trouble

I don't need the crap stock....
Any way it will be ported as sense 4 did.....

The One X has Sense 4, so if Sense 4 needs updating to work on JB then they'll be doing that anyway, and we know the Sensation can run Sense 4 so it's not going to be that difficult for HTC to release a JB update for the Sensation.

I agree but in terms of support HTC would have to support multiple versions and will probably choose not to do that as it == $$$$ in costs. It's just cheaper for them not do so and get us mugs to just buy newer phones.
Or, go to something like CM10.

I think if the Sensation will get the 4.1 update, you will know about in a few months. Remember that the first 4.0 update was available for Sensation & XE.

I think XE will get Jelly Beans, but maybe not sense4. Sense4 includes burst and HDR camera functions needing the image chip which XE doesn't have.
Sense 3.7 with android4.1 is most possible I think.

I guess the One S has 1GB RAM if i am not wrong ? which would make a difference i guess...but rest otherwise you are absolutely right all of the things are same

Yeah, considering they took so much time rolling out update outside europe i am a bit skeptical about it. More that that Desire HD which i used, got its 2.3.5 update (from 2.3.3) got its update after 2 months of ICS release and i am hopeless about them releasing udates on time.

i see the desire hd saga all over again from htc ,im sure htc wont update sensation to jb ,but im curious what will be the excuse

Short HTC Support Cycles?
So what's the support cycles on HTC these days? Six months? Seems upgrade support is dropped after six months because HTC are falling in to the Nokia trap. Release a bewildering array of phones to 'meet every market niche', spread themselves thin and drop support for last seasons 'bewildering array of phones' after only six months.
Samsung seem to be offering longer support cycles now?
This is where Apple just keep beating Android hands down. Imagine the uproar if Apple dropped upgrade support on an iPhone 6 months after release. Their support is more like two years?
Not happy HTC. I fear you will go the way of Nokia!
I love Sense but with HTC's build quality brand damage last year and ever shortening support cycles, I'm struggling to understand why I shouldn't just go Samsung like everyone else.
How far HTC has fallen. They were once the de-facto Google partner. Now even Google won't touch them.
