This actually has to do with the case of the phone but a question about the software that the connections on the case are used for. I know the htc sensation case that is for the over seas version with the beats audio symbol on the back is not the same as the U.S htc sensation 4g, but fits the U.S htc sensation 4g though is missing the what i think is a grounding connection for what some say may be a gps type of signal for the phone. Does anyone know what that missing connection actually is. I was also wondering if i use very precise materials to cut out the connection on my old phone case and bond it to the new case beats case, will this supply enough of whatever connection the phone needs from that goldish colored substance that the phones prongs connect to. The beats audio case even has a square mark the exact same size as the piece it is missing that is on the U.S version of the phone.

Well the missing connection will be the 4g antenna. But I'm not sure as I have a white xe cover for my normal sensation and it has an extra antenna built into it.

Not true. I have the XE cover on my 4G and I get 5 to 8 mbits whereas before I got 5 to 8 mbits.
The extra antenna on the Sensation 4G is for A-GPS and doesn't actually effect GPS aside from it locking maybe ten seconds slower.
Ohhhh thanks for clearing that up.

My wife has a My Touch 4G Slide, and I have a Sensation. I was taking a look at our batteries today, and both our our OEM batteries have the exact same model number, and look and feel exactly the same...with one exception that I could find: the metal contacts on the bottom of the battery are on the opposite side of each battery, relative to the "HTC" logo on the "front" of the battery. If you flip one battery over, so the "small print" is facing up, and the align it with the other battery, I have a hard time telling the difference.
Before I place one of these batteries in the opposite phone and cause the polar ice caps to melt down, can anybody confirm that I can swap these batteries between the phones with no issues?
I'll keep scouring the XDA forums and the rest of the interweb thingies, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Thanks.
I did this going from my old incredible to a g2. I just flipped the battery around, cut the corners down and plugged it in. Worked just fine.

I'm scared that my hair will fall out, or tsunamis will hit several major cities around the world! Well, maybe not THAT scared.
Make sure the polarities are going the right way.
HTC Sensation, HTC Evo 3D, and HTC MyTouch 4G Slide stock batteries are all interchangeable. The similar-sized extended batteries (the ones that don't require a new back cover) also work too, to my knowledge.
Well the Evo 3D and Sensation batteries are swapable so guess that would me the same for the Sensation and myTouch. I have a sensation and my wife has the MT4G... why would you want to swap?
Edit--- nevermind just realized you said MT4G Slide...
I've switched the 2 batterys with no problems

Hi all,
I've just got my sensation and love it but when I press the screen a bit harder then usual it makes a squeaking noise. It feels very cheap especially for a high end new phone, do others have this experience or is it just my phone?
Jason.
My phone does this now too. But only because I've pulled the backing off so many times. Due to hanging and when I first started to get to the bootloader. Which I no longer have to due because of the ROM.

Nice to know I am not the only one! I thought mine was because I have the 1900mah Anker battery which is a bit wider..
I get this also, and it also happened after i took the back off multiple times. This problem seems to come and go though, and is fixed when i put on my tpu case, probably because it squeezes the body to the phone better.
I feel like the left bottom corner of my sensation can be pushed down as if it wasn't securely fitted.
My senny started to get all the issue problem like others get. Dust below screen, power button issue & soon i believe the squeaking noise!!
:'(

hmm its a pity I'm not the only one, do you think this is an issue that will be addressed by htc when I confront them with it. I to have a loads of dust under the casing within a day, use pressured air to blast it out.
Before my sensation I owned a legend which seemed to be of better building quality
Hey,
So uhm my HD2 got replaced by the Sensation by my insurance company.
But while it was out, I was using a Desire S.
Now that I've received the Sensation, while being used to the Desire S, I've noticed that the
Desire S has a MUCH prettier screen. It just looks a lot more crisp/sharper/clearer
and the colours are much better... I think 'vibrant' is the word.
I find this very odd, considering they should have about the same pixel density,
same amount of colours and if I remember correctly, they both have an s-lcd.
So is the Sensation's screen supposed to suck (compared to Desire S)?
Or is something wrong with my Sensation?
Sensations screens are made by two different manufacturers. One is far more superior than the other. You may have gotten the short end of the stick :/

If you got the vivid & pinkist color screen, that its an AUO screen. Most people dont like it and also due to gosting issue (the letter come out delay when u scrolling up & down).

Lol vivid, i think I have that one, but idk... I'll just live with it. It's not too bad, but if you are close to the screen, you can see (in portrait) horizontal lines... That's the main annoyance, but it's not dealbreaking. I'm just kind of disappointed since the Desire S doesn't have noticeable lines and better colours, even though it looks like the Sensation is supposed to be better.
Also, the Sensation's screen feels very plasticy on the bottom if you press the area around the home/menu and the backside of the device together, you can even hear and feel the plasticy squeak. That's one of the reasons why the Desire S also feels better built, it's just a lot more solid imo.
I just got my sensation and am loving it!
Unfortunately I discovered the phone is very sensitive to shocks / dropping. I've dropped it from my laptop which is just a few centimeters, after some other small drops it reboots itself.
Is it just my phone or is it a common problem?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Not on mine... I dropped mine 24 inches high but no reset... Dropped a couple of times... Just make sure the battery is secure in its place.... If the battery is loose that might be the problem. Make sure the back cover is not loose too...

I tried to reproduce it and it seems to happen when it lands flat on the screen. Dropped from 3cm / 1 inch so loose battery seems unlikely.

If batt is loose u can use paper and fold it to pinch it between the body and the battery. I had a sidekick years ago where the spring inside the sd card holder broke. Glued paper to the case and it held it in place.

yeah probably something wrong with your phone, I hate to say this.. but I'd exchange incase. I've dropped mine (only once ever) about 5 feet high
Ive never dropped a phone (will today since im saying this) except a mytouch 4g white on launch day walking out of tmobile. Screen shattered. They replaced it thank god.

Yes, im using like that right now..
should fit - the phones are almost identical. I think all the antenna connections from the back of the phone housing are in the same place too.

Hi,
Both covers should fit, but I truly think that they are missing the 4G antenna, so you probably will only get Edge (maybe 3G?) for your mobile network if you have T-Mobile Sensation 4G. Look at the attached pic and you will see that both covers are missing antenna "A" from the pic.
You can also look at this post (I took the pic from there): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155685
They are discussing the location of the antennas, but I am almost 100% sure that I am right about this, as I read on Engadget at some point, but I couldn't find the article.

You're wrong.
That last antenna doesn't make much of a difference in wifi, 3g, bluetooth, or gps.
Even without that last antenna everything works fine.
It isn't for 4G because technically tmobile's 4G is just an enhanced version of their 3G network. (HSPA 7.2 is regular 3g. HSPA+ 14.4 is "4G")
I agree 100%, I read somewhere that the 4th antenna is not affected when we change cover. Currently i am using the HTC sensation xe cover and everything is working fine. Although i can't say about the 4G as its not available yet in Malaysia. Cheers~
ok my volume side plastic pieces to turn volume up and down on the side broke off, so i need a new back cover for my tmobile htc sensation 4g (my sensation is not the XE) but i like the look of the white XE back cover. In this thread, you all are saying i can buy a white sensation xe beats audio back cover and put it on my tmobile htc senstaion 4g (non xe) and it will still work and function? tryin to figure this out soon 100% cause i don't wanna waste the money and i need to get another back cover cause i like being able to adjust my volume on the outside instead of going into settings. thanks
