Tmobile

Have anyone noticed no matter what new phone tmobile gets there always something they do as a company to stop if from being a top phone. Example Damn near no marketing for any of there phone except the mytouch wtf. Samsung vibrant no flash or front facing camera. G2x plagued by so much problems . Sensation under powered beast with so much more than what they give us out the box. Compared to at&t where there phones are maxed out with there power and not being cheap with phone features, flash should be a must for a high end smart phone along with build quality. Verizon market the hell out all there phone and it works ,hell i know more about there new phones than tmobile. Im glad at&t bought this struggling ass company cause i was on the verge of switching carriers.

What exactly did T-Mobile do to the phone that makes it less of a phone than the EU version?

They order the phones and somehow they manage to get the worst phones example. The vibrant was the worst galaxy s phone out of all the carriers period. All there htc phones are mid grade at best, sensation high end barely. Just seem like everyone else get more selections and better stuff.

How was the vibrant the worst galaxy s? Its identical to the att version in all the internals.
The sensation is identical to the eu version minus a few things no one needs that they removed. They even kept "free" tethering which is nice.
The g2x is comparable to dual cores in other carriers and has vanilla android and the g2 is much better than the droid if we are talking phones with keyboards.
I am sorry but you are talking out of your ass. The only thing the sensation lacks is s off and that's htc fault

while i dont agree with alot of what you said, tmobile does has THE worst marketing stategy(not even sure if its a strategy). They pretty much have no advertisment when the NBA season is over(i.e.Tmobile Halftime Show, etc.) I love tmobile for the great price, customer service and they really do have some good phones. But marketing is non-existent and they usually try to push low-end to mid-range devices. Like ive read that they arnt getting the SGS2? if thats true, shame on tmobile.

Your an idiot.
Other than the Atrix and Evo3D NONE of those phone compare to the Sensation. Why don't you return you phone and go troll somewhere else and quit trying to stir up crap in the forum.
Mod's, PLEASE close this useless crap thread.
One more thing, T-Mobile pioneered Android. They had 5 Android phone before a single other US carrier carried them. Again, an idiot.

haha, did you see the thread I posted not too long ago?

They started it and now there in dead ****ing last dip**** thats why at& t bought there ass up. Tmobile broke that's why they don't have good products. Sensation is not all the ground breaking feel the same as a single core phone so stop that mess.

T-Mobile isn't getting the SGSII, they're getting a better device - the Hercules.
As has been pointed out, a lot of the phones on T-Mobile are quite capable devices and T-Mo was the pioneer of our beloved Android.
T-Mobile leaves something to be desired in terms of device commercials but I've seen commercials for the Sensation AND the G2x (before it was pulled) far more than any other device besides the Droid Charge.
The G2x is an amazing phone - LG just needs to fix a few issues that may be software or may be hardware. It still beats the pants off the crappy ass Atrix.
It doesn't compete with Exynos, no, but no American carrier has a Samsung Exynos device at the moment and rumors point that in America we may get Tegra 2 instead of Exynos so its a moot point.
I have a G2x and a Sensation. The G2x spanks the Sensation on performance but there is significant device lag that is random, sometimes including freezing, which is unacceptable and the reboot issue is a big problem. When it works though, the G2x is the phone to beat. Hell mine overclocks to 1.55GHz with a 200mV undervolt and barely gets warm. In Mandro (one of the only dual-core speed tests), it actually beats the Exynos by a good 15%. The Exynos overclocks as well, however, and lets not forget that the Sensation, having a Qualcomm chip, will most likely overclock at least 50% if not higher as well.
Quit trolling. Go get a phone with a provider that locks down everything, charges more, has terrible coverage, and consistently breaks promises. I'm just fine with T-Mobile and I am sure many others are as well otherwise they'd be out of business.
Also, at&t made a BID for T-Mo. The merger is nowhere near actual approval and hopefully it can be delayed long enough for it to get denied based on wireless competition and at&t will have to suck it up for once and actually build THEIR OWN network rather than piggyback off everyone else's!!!
EDIT: And on your comment about the Epic versus the Vibrant. Note the internal storage difference between the two and then realize that Sprint made a huge trade off with their version just to have a hardware keyboard.

From customer services reps i was told there bought and thing won't change until its finalized and my contact is over and like u said too many bugs in all there phones not just one all there phones .I'm hating i sold my vibrant running bionix 1.3 cuause it runs way better than this funky as I'm staring to doubt duel core sensation smh.

Early launch bugs? Price you pay for having the latest and greatest. Everyone that knows technology knows that when it comes to wireless, you don't purchase the latest and greatest and expect to have no issues. Go cry somewhere else.

I agree with most of this ,but the g2x sucks ,I had one for a couple days and I git rid of it ,I didn't think the camera was worth a crap and it just had too many issues ,ill take my sensation that works than a device that gets good quadrant scores ,which mean absolutely nothing , sense may be a little slower but its wayyyyyy better than vanilla android IMO,but good post though

Latest and greatest my ass i had a g1 that ran for years i had a iphone that lasted for years i had ten faulty vibrants 2 g2s. T-Mobile was great at first now its evident there cutting corners. I can deal with a washed screen ,dead pixels, hell even a cracjed screen but if it reboots on its on and i lose my alarm clock setting that blows or if i try and make a call and it freeze sometimes and i have to pull battery and roboot . Missed calls when my phone didn't even ring . Everyone know in Chicago T-Mobile ain't nothing they fell off period.

Now I know your just a trolling idiot. T-Mobile is NOT bought. AT&T has made an offer. Do you read the news or do you just write random BS that you pull out of your a**? AT&T CANNOT buy T-Mobile UNTIL DOJ and FCC approve it (estimated to happen March 2012 time frame). THEN it will take another 3 months to close the deal. So quit complaining that your stuck with T-Mobile, get off your Mommy's plan and get your own contract with whomever you want. Then, no more Sensation.
Oh, why don't you just take it back and get a Vibrant again? You have 14 days.

So uneducated. And extremely stupid. Nice try on the troll though. Almost worked...your even bad at making people mad. That's just sad. Carry on people. He doesn't even own a sensation. He's just trolling.

Would you recommended the HTC Sensation?

Its time to get a new phone and I haven't decided between the sensation & the g2x. So I ask, would you recommended the sensation? Please let me know why you would or would not.
Thanks
Sent from my HD2

It's a great phone from my experience. Stock it's been extremely fast sense looks great. I'm more a vanilla person but even I have to admit it looks great. Also now that s-off is so close it will be a beast. As far as the g2x if you look in the general forums it seems like there's a lot of issues that need to be worked out still. I've never used one myself so this is only second hand info
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

I've answered this question a few times now, and without me loosing another 2 minutes typing it out, the long and short of it is YES (infact i do recommend this phone to clients all the time where i work) unless your not a fan of sense i can't think of any other reason why you would want to go with the galaxy s 2, plus there will be a 1.4ghz version of the Galaxy out sometimes either this or early next year too, or so i'm told.

Both are great just atm the sensation is more stable all around as long as you get a good one. Just look at my signature
G2X and Sensation 4G I love both

I had the sensation for just over a week now and i must say im super impressed. I was REALLY lucky tho, i have NO problems that i see all around the forum, like dust, i have no death grip issue and no response issues, the phone is real smooth.

I would get sensation over G2x just because higher amount of ram alone. Sensation is a very nice all around device.

Do what I did
Keep jumping between the sensation and GS2 forums,till you get nauseated and confused and your Blood Pressure is High
Weigh the pros and cons and decide what you want and then go for it..........
I had an HTC HERO AND HD7 so decided to give samsung a chance and boy I am happy.
You can upgrade the firmware in the SGS2 easily without rooting by a software called ODIN which is super brilliant.

If you read the OP, he isn't deciding between the GSII and the Sensation as it's not out for T-Mobile.

I have an HD7 and G2, and I'm really happy with my G2. I just picked up a Sensation last week to check it out and wow, I'm very, very pleased with it. I had an N1 before the G2 and got the G2 mainly for the keyboard, but I may end up ditching my G2 and going back to an all-touchscreen Android device for the Sensation. Awesome, awesome phone. Can't WAIT to get it rooted.
Before getting the Sensation, I read up on both it and the G2x. The number of posts floating around regarding people having issues with the G2x and going through several returns really turned me off of it.

I have both phones and I use my Sensation as my daily driver. It has a nicer display and is faster than my G2X once I put ADW on it. It always loaded apps faster, browsed the internet faster and loaded maps faster. I like the Sensation better and think its the all around best phone out of the two mentioned.

Gotta agree w/JR above. I had the G2X for several days then bought a Sensation. The 4.3 vs 4.0 screen is a huge difference IMO. Plus, as others have said, Sense 3.0 really is much better than previous versions. I'm glad I switched.

I owned both. The g2x for the first month and now the sensation since June 8th. I prefer almost everything about the HTC, aside from the lack of root and roms currently
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with extreme prejudice

I got my sensation two weeks ago.My brother has g2x rooted with his phone overclocked to 1200 his benchmark scores are higher on every test except for sd card read and write my unrooted sensation has higher scores then his both with class 2 8 gig cards. Both tested with sutu benchmark.I lost a my touch 4g rooted with a class 4 sd card. The my touch 4g rooted is twice the phone as my unrooted sensation but I think when we will be able to get s off it will be one of the best phones on the market just my two cents.

It's a great phone Go get it!

AnTuTu Benchmarks my bad.

so, coming from the mt4g..

what would your next phone be between the htc sensation and htc amaze?
sold my mt4g and dont know what to get next.. opinions?
im gonna miss the mechanical buttons everythings touch now

you might want to be careful, one of those two are EOL. My dad has it and it's approaching the end of life.
Honestly my next jump will be to the Nexus, who ever is carrying it. I'm not loyal to T-Mobile any longer.

amaze is sexy stock but that's all its gonna be as development hasn't exploded yet. better hardware though.
sensations got those roms with worse hardware and its already OLD
I go with sgs2 imo why don't you consider that
but amaze out of the options.

I'm going for the amaze hands down. Device is sexy and a beast. I know, I bought it for my girl. I'm always messing with it. My brother also just bought it.

This

I just got the Sensation. Development for it is booming. I ultimately chose it over the Amaze because it's cheaper. But here are some other factors that will play a role:
1. Ram and memory. Amaze has 1GB, 16GB, respectively. 728mhz (same as mt4g) and
1GB memory on the Sensation is good enough for me.
2. Processor. Amaze has a newer and faster dual-core processor. I didn't care for it much. The Sensation is running graphic heavy games just as smoothly as the MT4G. So this wasn't a big factor.
3. Camera. I definitely wish the Sensation had a dedicated camera button. But it's not a deal breaker and actually looks sexier without one. But still convenient, nonetheless
4. HSPA. Theoretically, Amaze has 42mbps vs. 14mbps Sensation.
All these numbers I typed may be a little off.
The Sensation has a HQ Camera mod to capture pictures uncompressed. So that and video look amazing. Idk how the Amaze is. But with that mod, the Sensation is on par, if not a bit better.
The big factors for me was an upgraded camera over the MT4G and development. The Sensation actually looks sexier, imo. All the Amaze had me for was basically the camera buttons.
Hope this helps. At first I was badly needing to get the Amaze when it first came out. But as time passed, it's still expensive and development is nowhere near the Sensation's. I'm happy with it.
Fyi, there are people on craigslist wanting to trade their Amaze for a Sensation + cash.. Kinda makes you wonder.

I guess that's where there's an advantage to being an old dood like me. I tend to be more content with my phones, the older I get. Right now, other than a larger screen, I still think the mt4g is as good as the Sensation or Amaze. Also the Amaze has been slower in development. If I had to choose though, I would like the Sensation. But for now, my mt4g is plenty. I keep it on my 18mbps WiFi connection 97% of the time & it flies...

I'm wanting to say the Amaze, but i'm going to have to ask him again. He just got it on my recommendation, and something broke on the phone. so he had to replace and the CSR told him that the phone was nearing EOL, which in this market isn't a surprise.
But i'm sick of T-Mobile not having heavy hitters when it comes to power users.

Same. My contract ends in December, and my mom is also fed up with T-Mobile and their service. May leave to Verizon or AT&T, but definitely not Sprint! Or we may stay with T-Mobile and I will get the One S ...but so far she's not letting me spend the money..

My dad hates T-Mobile as well, we will prolly jump to verizon when we get the chance. Service is better but i highly recommend that you stay with htc. They build phones that feel like they will last. I suggest the One S if you have the money. Otherwise, i like the amaze but ultimetly, both will serve you fine for the next 2 years.

one of my buddies has the SGSII, but its the Sprint version so I really dont know if theres a difference between all the GSII phones. he says he absolutely hates it and is already on his 3rd and final replacement before switching. battery life sucked, poor build quality(he likes to throw his phones around lol), unresponsive screen at times...I messed around with it one day and it just wasnt for me. nice screen, but still not great quality.

i like samsung designs, but they dont feel solid in the hand. too plastic-y for my liking. HTC always builds heavy duty devices.
the sgs2 is a very popular phone but touchwiz is lame and besides hummingbird, its useless..
well, maybe tegra 3 is a plus point, but i dont think the t-mobile sgs2 has tegra?
btw, i need to stick with AWS phones since here in canada i get everything unlimited for $25 a month with an AWS carrier

[POLL] Do You Still Love Your Sensation?

Hey guys I am new on Sensation forum (not on xda, you can see my thanks meter and total post ) and will get my brand new sensation next week.
Do you still love your sensation?
I come from Xperia Neo and want more powerful phone than Neo and i think i got this phone since I dont have much money for one X or Galaxy nexus which is preferrable for me.
Edit: I have my sensation now, use it for one month and love it, so sad some devs moved on but another devs come, now this thread specifically for anyone who want to complain or express how you love your sensation.

I still like but can't say that I love it. After trying out the One X the rose coloured googles have come off. I still much prefer the Sensation for its design (sd card, removable battery, curved screen) but the performance and screen on the One X blows me away.

I like the sensation better than the galaxy s ii. The number of ROMs, the current ICS support, the HTC one S ROMs, (Why get one? ) the overclockability to 1.9GHz, the built in beats audio support, the removable battery and the fact that the housing comes off in one fell swoop(if you phone gets dropped and gets dents, replace it quickly, cheaply, and easily), the ability to multi-boot, and the fact that it's HTC. Doesn't get better than that!

I still love my HTC sensation XE i mean, look at it.. It looks great. What's even better is the support the XDA sensation community gives. The camera's great, its a great phone for gaming, the pixels are just awesome (movies and reading ebooks)
As for the battery life, i get about 21-25 hours a day. But it depends on what custom ROM you use too. Might i suggest you use ARHD ROM as well as Faux Kernel. And also, if you are willing to spend US$30 on an extended 1900Mah Anker battery, go for it.. the battery really helps alot, i have seen some people going over 40 hours on a single charge.
Whatever it is, if you're worried people here stop the support for the sensation, don't be. Its a great phone and once again the community is superb

How did you reach 1.9Ghz???

I sold it and have regretted doing so ever since. Have the SGII right now, but the lack of developer support, ICS, and TouchWiz make me wish I woulda ditched the Samsung instead.

That's exactly why I didn't get the SG 2. It's funny you put up this post. I thought I lost my phone yesterday and was looking at replacements. The galaxy Note is nice with the stylus pen and HUGE screen. But Touch wiz is garbage so nope. Then the just release the One X on Rogers(Canada) and looks wicked with ICS and Sense 4.0, but only 12 GB of usable storage!!! NO SD card slot!!! I ordered a 64 GB card last week cause my 32 GB card is full. Again Nope. Found my phone yesterday...So yes I LOVE MY SENSATION.

I sold it and have regretted doing so ever since. Have the SGII right now, but the lack of developer support, ICS, and TouchWiz make me wish I woulda ditched the Samsung instead.

But how about the extra 256MB of RAM? Is that very noticeable? Or the HSPA+42 vs the Sensation's debated 14.4 or 21?

I still love my HTC sensation XE i mean, look at it.. It looks great. What's even better is the support the XDA sensation community gives. The camera's great, its a great phone for gaming, the pixels are just awesome (movies and reading ebooks)
As for the battery life, i get about 21-25 hours a day. But it depends on what custom ROM you use too. Might i suggest you use ARHD ROM as well as Faux Kernel. And also, if you are willing to spend US$30 on an extended 1900Mah Anker battery, go for it.. the battery really helps alot, i have seen some people going over 40 hours on a single charge.
Whatever it is, if you're worried people here stop the support for the sensation, don't be. Its a great phone and once again the community is superb

I hate touchwiz too, even they updated it to 5,6,7. And falling in love with HTC sense.
Look at my friend's SGII, its fast but the UI looks like a crap, i dont like it.
And he always asks me for a good launcher to replace TW launcher

Tried my friend's SGII and its fast and never had any lag. But TW is crap like hell, and too much mod stock rom on rom development.
But idk about browsing speed, we luck if we had over 3Mbps here, never had more with any phone.

This phone from the out side perspective looks slow but when you set it up to your liking with custom roms and kernels this phone rocks. If you keep it stock its slow so don't.

Hey guys I am new on Sensation forum (not on xda, you can see my thanks meter and total post ) and will get my brand new sensation next week.
Do you still love your sensation?
I come from Xperia Neo and want more powerful phone than Neo and i think i got this phone since I dont have much money for one X or Galaxy nexus which is preferrable for me.

how come it's cheaper than the Gnexus? I will be getting the Sensation soon and its available online for about 430-450$ + 30-40$ for shipping! When the Gnexus is available for 399$ + 20$ for shipping or so! from where are you going to get your Sensation and for how much?

Sensation sees some strange pricing. When I was originally looking at phones, I was told to wait for a used mint Sensation at the $200 price mark. I did see a few, and missed out on the one or two that were legitimately mint. Found a few that were beat out or otherwise extremely shady (suspect IMEI would be blacklisted not long after the sale, etc). Ended up "desperate" for one and ponied up $250 for it. A shame since the MT4GS is just about identical, except for the small screen and physical keyboard (and assured hspa+21 and supposedly better camera).
In the NYC area, I see like-new ones go for $250-300 all day long, and new ones around $300. I know TMO charges $550 for it BNIB, which is absolutely absurd, given the GNex's $400 unlocked/unbranded price. Even at $300, the Sensation is a bit hard to swallow, since there's "better" phones for not too much more (sg2's and Amazes sell in the $350 ballpark), although those are used.
On the shady shade of things, if you got in contact with someone in the states who was unfortunate enough to get their hands on a blacklisted unit, you might be able to score it for cheap :x
It's absolutely brilliant what HTC did with the battery cover in terms of being able to replace it and get an almost new phone. The only problem is that there's a small bit of trim on the bottom that's not part of the cover. I've got a new cover coming for mine, but that bit is a little mangled.
All in all, coming from a Motorola Triumph, this is the best phone I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Just running it on the "modest" ARHD at the moment, and it's more than thrilling enough. Can't wait for CM9 to hit maturation though. Hopefully by the time Sense love wears off on me and I'm ready to go back to AOSP style.
I do wonder for those on TMO's post paid, if you were to get a used phone, would you still have the remainder of warranty through TMO? I understand they are willing to swap up a G2X to the Sensation for those having severe issues. Would be marvelous, given that the G2X fetches as low as $150 used in my market. Of course, then you're losing out with the expensive postpaid contract anyway (unless they still do EM+ plans).
For $430+shipping, the Sensation is absolutely not worth it, and really, it'd be a no brainer to get the GNex! Especially if the Sensation really is a 14.4 device and not 21.

I know, i was talking about the original sensation! all online sellers sell them from 430$ to 600$!!
Did you get it locally or online? its being sold for 600$ here in Egypt with 1 year warranty which is a ridiculous price, anyone knows a good/trusted place to get mine?
And if the XE is being sold for 430$ hell am going to get it lol

How is it slow?
I found the Galaxy S II laggy compared to my Sensation XE and I have not rooted it, running completely stock.
Got rid of the SII because of TW

Sensation or Amaze?

Hi so I have an htc amaze but the development is soooooo slow that i was wondering if its worth it for the slight downgrade to sensation? what should i expect if i make the switch?

U should expect the best development for a phone uve ever used

I would go for the Sensation. I just had one, and I kinda miss the massive amount of devs. Although I love my S3, the sensation was a great phone.

do a search, the question has been asked multiple times...

Sensation all the way. I also had a Amaze, gave it back next day contiuned using my Sensation. The Sensation looks better, a lot more support.
The only difference between the Amaze and Sensation would be the 768MB vs 1GB ram, the camera, and the CPU clock differences which doesn't matter anymore because of the overclockable kernels that we have.

Sensation has decent development, but I would just wait for a worthwhile upgrade if I already had an Amaze.
SGS3 is good, but lack of future LTE support on T-Mo just turns me off. Hence waiting.

Where do you live and how fast is your downstream usually? In NYC, there's a big difference between the Sensation and one of the hspa+42 devices like the Amaze/OneS/SGS2/3.
Understand that the Sensation is only a hspa14 device. I see 2-4mbps down usually, seeing 6 or so if in rare areas, and 8-9 in jersey on the way to the airport.
I haven't personally owned a hspa+42 device yet but using them a few times, the lowest speed I've seen is about the fastest I've seen on the Sensation.
Unless you're somehow able to trade down and pocket $50 I wouldn't do it.
