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?

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!
Optimus 2x

Sorry I didnt see your reply!
My budget is around $450
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.

And I'm considering getting the sensation, can anybody tell me wether it's worth the upgrade!?
Many thanx

I've reviewed both phones and I say yes it's worth it.
I'm a big fan of solid overall construction and while the Arc was really sexy it felt a tad cheap and a bit fragile.
The Sensation feels solid.
Then of course there is the Dual core, more ram, etc

Yes, if you were getting it for free. You have to say how much you have to pay for the upgrade, in order for others to tell you whether it is worth it.
Is there any thing about the Xperia Arc that you don't like? That you must get rid of and get a new device? The Xperia Arc is a rather new, slim, and nice device with a good camera.
Granted, it doesn't have dual core, but does that really matter? I mean, if one is buying a new device today, he/she'd better get one with dual core. But that doesn't mean anyone without a dual core phone needs to go get one.
This is just the first wave of high power dual core phones. The Xperia Arc is a modern and rather new device to be upgraded from. As much as I like my Sensation, I would hold on to it till the next wave of high end device comes, probably some time around the end of this year, if I were you.
i owned the sensation for a month now and im loving it especially with S-off now. It really isnt worth the upgrade for you now because the xperia arc is good device. if you really want to upgrade, do it or you can wait till the hercules comes out or the new nexus
Totally worth it. Just rooted and s-offed, flashed the revolution hd no sense ROM and this thing is amazingly fast and smooth. My phone is so much faster than stock and I'm underclocked to 1ghz each core.

It's really not worth the upgrade. If you're one of those people who always have to have the latest and greatest and seem to have money growing off of trees, get it; I don't really care, lol. Otherwise, if not, my sound advice is to hold off and calm yourself. You have a good device. I spent 2 years with a G1 and just upgraded to a Sensation. Being low on money, I returned the Sensation and am borrowing a friend's old MyTouch 4G which is good running MIUI.

I would say I'm one of these people who get bored of a phone within 6 months unfortunately I bought my arc, so I ain't tied down to a contract with it, but I do have a vodafone contract which is now due a upgrade, so I'm tempted to get a free upgrade. Like I said, the arc is a nice phone, I just don't like the ui anymore, blue this, blue that lol. I'm only interested in the sensation as the new htc sence looks lush

OK, get it then if you want. There's really not much to say. If you could wait it out, I would still suggest getting a better phone. You can wait a few more months without a problem I'm sure, and get a Nexus Prime or something
Hi,
At the moment I am using a HTC Desire and I find it to be to slow and the internal storage is to small.
Can someone recommend a fast dual core phone?
I have been looking at Samsung Galaxy s2 or perhaps som 3D phone...

This. You've answered your own question.
Maybe LG optimus 2X
My wife has gotten an Atrix 4g (AT&T), which recently got a gingerbread update. It's a beast of a phone, and quite fast.
The whole idea of the "webtop" dock for it, is just ridiculous to me though, especially since it costs more than a netbook.
*edit*
also worth note, it has 16gb built in user storage and 1gb of RAM.

I loved my Desire and never thought I would leave HTC until I got my SGSII.
Man, I looooooove my phone now
Hi guys, I know I'm a little off-topic, but not that much.
I would like your opinion on weather I should get an HTC Desire for about $330 or a Milestone 2 for about $530, or even de Defy for the same $530.
I ask because the hardware specs are very similar for the three, but i Know the desire is older.
Thank you.
Thx, I Will check the spec on them...

Total thread hijack if you ask me
Samsung s2 or sensation
HTC Sensation !!! a good one.
Samsung Galaxy S2 is at the Moment the King under the Smartphones!
Or maybe you can wait a little longer for the HTC 3D EVO.
That's a really nice piece that you can feel the 3D vision without any glasses.

Sorry about that, I'll make my own thread.
As a sensation owner I would say have play with both of them ( and look through the general sections on xda), the sensations gets stupidly hot for no reason and because the antennas are in the back cover the gsm/wcdma and wifi both have death grip issues.. as far as performance I know the sgs II is the fastest and has a better more well saturated screen but if I am no mistaken also gets really hot.... thats bench marks fast but I dont see any slow down on the sensation games play perfectly and the UI with customs roms is blisteringly fast...
hard decisions for you
Oh, I see a few more people have jumped in... Still not sure what to get... I shall look around... I not to sure about the 3d... The one I looked at hurt my eyes...
Probably will keep using my desire awhile longer... Need more memory... Need to decide soon!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The Samsung Galaxy S II has the better screen, and from what I've seen it makes better pictures. Also the battery for the SGSII is better: Li-Ion 1650 mAh vs. the Li-Ion 1520 mAh from the HTC Sensation. But the differences are not that great, and the HTC Sense from the Sensation is a great UI, and if you use a custom ROM from LeeDrOiD you can get a greater experience from the Sensation.
For day-to-day usage I would get the HTC Sensation, the Phone UI is the best out there. You may find similar apps on the market that mimic the Phone UI, but it's not the same.
And until you get your new device, try a ROM that has data2EXT. This will increase your internal storage to up to 2GB. Most HTC Desire Custom ROMs have this data2EXT option. Go here -> Desire Index - Everything Desire is here!
HTC Sensation users, what will your next device be after Sensation?
For me it will probably be a Samsung phone possibly the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5, unless HTC puts out a solid, well build and thought device with consistent quality materials across their devices.
I did realized that HTC Said that they'll cut down in the amount if phones they put out since they realized they were not focusing on one phone and therefore why so many flaws in their last models.
Example: two screen manufacturers.
What will be your next device?

Definitely another HTC. Maybe the Ville.

iPhone 5, because I've already owned Androids(the Sensation is my second one), Blackberries, and Windows Phone but I never owned an iPhone & I always want to try new phones after a period of time.
P.S. I love Android phones the most & this Sensation is the best one I ever used (besides the sucky battery life).
Depends on what HTC brings out, I dunno if the Ville will be enough to bring me over
Well since I am on t-mobile my choice is limited since they never have the best phones out.
I will probably get whatever htc <4.3 inch screen phone is out
Definitely getting the GS3...I hope its quad core

As much as I hate samSUCK I think I might have to agree. I really wish HTC made the Nexus devices...
My wish list:
- size of the Desire or something in between the Desire & Sensation.
- hard buttons like those of the Desire.
- quadcore
- powerful battery to last.
- beats tech or better of the Sensation XE
Thats it. Not much to ask from HTC huh?
Maybe the HTC Ville
as long as its dual core with 768mb of ram or more and a nice 5 inch screen ill buy it.
softkey only devices for me
quad core definitively
HTC first priority altho i want it to have AOSP & Sense Roms lol were having a really tuff time bringing AOSP ICS
if not ill go with the next nexus, 5MP camera stopped me from getting it really
This time, I'm going to for an Samsung device, none of those horrible dust issues, and I really want to own an phone with an AMOLED screen.
Quad core isn't needed. I think a strong dual core (think at least 1.5Ghz) with a >3000mAH battery and a screen between the sensation and note with proper resolution (~720).
Am I the only one who thinks the AMOLED screens are overrated? I personally love this sensation screen and think it rivals the iphone, but the AMOLED samsung screens just look like the have a blue/purple hue over them..
anyone else planning on holding on to their sensation for another year at least, probably 2? Im thinking once CM9 comes out the phone will rock. I am not dropping another 500$+ on a phone until something that is truly next gen comes out
Waiting for MWC.. I really hope they have something up their sleeve..
I really like HTC but they need to bring out something top notch.
2011 wasn't a good year for HTC and they know it. They need to get back on top with one badass machine.

You're not the only one. I think they do look stunning but the colours are too rich IMO. This is one reason why I chose the Sensation over the GS2.
On a related note, I think the Galaxy Nexus is quite overrated. Apart from having a 720p screen and being a Google Experience device (and therefore having ICS), there isn't that much else that's amazing about it. Still a great phone but not worth the price (ATM).

Got Nexus (Prime) and have Sensation since day one. Honestly... I am not buying any other phone for next 2 years. When got the Sensation didn't see a big difference and should stick with XL... Anyhow, I don't think there could be added more "features" (unless you playing games).
As for the Nexus... Many people saying its crap, underpowered atc... IMO these people NEVER had Nexus except in their dreams. The Nexus performs superb.
So my answer is : no other phone for 2 years as my current phones are the very best...
Sony Xperia S looks pretty nice.
So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?
after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love
Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.
Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.
I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see

yea i guess u would need a heat sink or some kinda fan on the back of a quad core device too cool it down....
Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.
I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)
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.

Is it not fast? Is it laggy? Or something?

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.

Any chance it will get jelly bean?
I am tired to exchange my phone every three months.
Just bought my neo three months ago and now i should change it cause the hardware is getting old and battery life not that good.
What about battery life on sensation? With normal usage (stock and CM).

I came from an Xperia Play at the weekend. The Sensation is superior in every way. The UI is much more fluid in every ROM, bigger and nicer screen, much better build quality and camera. Loads of roms and kernels to choose from. Overall I'm very happy with it

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.

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.
Wait for me

Sensation is an old device but yet if u can't afford to wait for a newer device or simply can't afford it....then the sensation is a great device to buy !
