So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?
Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.

Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Xperia isn't much of an upgrade!! It still has the sane old S3 chip, not the newer & much better S4 one!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.
Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!
Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Physically I think
Storage is never big enough for ANYONE

I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???
One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.

I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...
LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.
I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

Just the development alone from DEV's on the Nexus line is more than enough.... NEVER again will i buy another Android Phone that is not the Nexus line.
The sensation should be too powerful but mine is laggy as Hell since getting Android 4.
New Motorola coming out has 3000mA battery, if moto can do it HTC should be capable.

I am looking to upgrade soon. And I'm stuck on what to upgrade to seeing T-Mobile isn't gonna get the one x....should I get the note....or the GS3...or wait for another amazing device like the sensation
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G
I've heard good things about the GS3 and the Note. If I were you I'd go for the GS3 right now but otherwise maybe wait a couple of months.
Not sure whether T-Mobile will bring out a successor to the Sensation.

I think I would wait for the note 2. The gs3 is a great phone but I'm not sure is worth upgrading to most people with the gs2 are opting out of getting it till something really amazing is released .

Get the GS3. Sure, there's a lot not to like about it, but there's a lot going for it at the same time. When people complain about the screen, its not because its bad, its just because its not as good as the HOX. It's still probably better than the Sensations (even with pentile it has higher density than Sensation). Also, both the exynos and s4 are blazing, and I can guarantee the GS3 will be much faster and smoother than HOX (even though HOX can also have S4, Samsung makes snappier phones period). The multitasking is the best I've seen, and the camera is top notch too. It's overall a phone that would keep you happy well into next year.

Will HTC Sensation XE get official Jellybean support from HTC?
If it will, can someone please provide a source ? Has HTC confirmed Sensation XE support?
and if yes to jellybean
will it be sense 3.6 or 4.0?
nope
I think yes.
The official german htc Facebook Page told, that it will come!
I dont know, wich Sense but they said, it will Come
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Until we see an official statement, announced by HTC all these facebook and other site sources are just speculations and rumors. Jelly bean will come along with the new HTC One X+ and will also be received by the ONE X and ONE S first. After these devices are updated HTC might decide to do something with previous phones as well.

I doubt that page is an official HTC page, it says in the article that the link was posted that it wasnt an official statement.
I think no, mainly because Football says we wont and also because of some other reasons that I posted in the sticky thread in Sensation General.
It ever our phones will not have official jellybean. I might be thinking of rooting it after my warranty expires

Hopefully but not likely
i don't believe that there will be official support, but i found that some htc one s have snapdragon s3 processor (the same of htc sensation), so, when it will be updated to JB, probabliy there will be some kind of porting to our device
This is BS. I'm really struggling to think of a single good reason to stick with HTC when it's time to refresh my phone and this is a big reason why. Support for the XE was dropped hard after only a matter of months. Samsung's stellar market share rise is in part due to their much better support.
How can we trust HTC any more knowing if we buy another HTC phone, support will be dropped after 6 months and even that's pushing it? I bought my XE back in February this year when it was still a 'flagship' phone so I fell pretty cheated by HTC right now.
My wife currently has a HTC Desire Z (keyboard) and I'm moving her on to Samsung now, my experience with the XE being a big part of the reason why.
Not happy HTC! Why don't you just release a FEW phones and SUPPORT them rather than a gazillion un-supported phones of every possible variation? Didn't Nokia try that strategy? And look where it landed them, they are not even on the charts any more!
Well... I wrote to the support and they said: maybe, but for sure there won't be official Sense 4.x on sensation.
Sorry to say it's extremely doubtful, highly unlikely, that we will ever get official jelly bean. HTC had forgotten about the sensation. To them it's to old. They will just say our device can't support jelly bean or some B.S. like that. My guess is NO. NEVER. even though we're not yet two years old we are forgotten. I'm running a great jelly bean Rom right now thanks to our wonderful developers! Don't know what I'd do with out them!

Htc says on his official site that they will try to make it available for our phones and if they do they will bring with it 4.x sense. I hope so :fingerscrossed:

If HTC drop support for what was a flagship device this quickly, I will never buy HTC again... Samsung all the way from now on!! I hope HTC pull their finger out and re-consider their policy of dropping support after six months, for the sake of their own survival.
Lame... Samsung all the way when I get a new phone... way to lose loyal customers you idiots..
Finally yes
I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "
I thought I didn't like sense at all and was always using Nova Launcher, until i rooted and flashed vipers from sense 4.1 and now I think i will miss if I go pure google.
The question is for those that don't like sense and are always rooting to get stock android..would you give up your beloved sensation for the nexus 4?..
Consider the specs updates and tempting low price tag it comes with.
I searched the forum but if someone already said this please delete thread ASAP!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda app-developers app
On our Sensations, we have the option of Sense or pure AOSP, so I would stick with the Sensation just for that flexibility. Every time I try and switch to the latest CM10 or other ROMs I end up coming right back to ViperS Sense, I love how all the features just work. And the Sense contact linking is great, my only gripe is the low-res contact pictures.
Without a second thought.
Why would I not trade a year and a half phone for a new phone that will get updates directly from Google? First of all, we don't even know if the Sensation will get JB.
And that's before specs are even considered.
I'm with you on this, I don't want to go back to the "pure google" experience. It feels to raw and the custom sense roms we have around are very good these days...
With the price being low on the Nexus 4, why not have both? That's what I'm doing

Nexus 4
I've always wanted a Nexus phone. I got my Nexus 7 tablet the first day it was offered, and I love it. So, yes. MY Sensation is going to be retired as soon as I get my hands on a Nexus 4.
Of course. Except the Sensation 4G isn't even worth half of what the Nexus 4 is worth on the market, that is, given it's still in mint condition.
Will be getting the N4 and selling the S4G on eBay.
For me the upgrade doesn't make sense unless I can sell my sensation for $180 or more
Sent from my HTC Sensation running Bruce's CM10 using XDA Premium
Would trade it right now.
The Sensation is the c**ppiest phone I've ever owned. I had it replaced once and now it's sent again for repairs, for the 5th time.
if Nexus lacks SD slot as i have readed somewhere then deffo not, if there is a sd slot ... well ... no either way, i would go for SGS3
I think I'll stay with Sensation. There is a lot of ROMs for it and that's the cool thing. However I'm planning to buy Nexus 10 as an addition.
I don't care for LG phones. The galaxy note 2 looks more appealing to me.

well from reading articles online and friends' experiences, LG has apparently bumped up the build quality of their phones. I havent had any personal experiences with LG devices, but the N4 does look good. the only real downside for me is lack of SD card (I carry around a lot of music files), but now that Ive switched to the unlimited data plan I stream my music a lot more through Audiogalaxy
benefits of sensation over the nexus 4:
1. removable battery (only an issue for very few)
2. microsd (also only an issue for a few who need more than 8-16GB)
3. SenseUI (only an issue for the noobies who prefer sense over AOSP/CM/AOKP)
nexus 4 is much better in every way as long as those 3 arent a problem for you
also, LG hardware is usually solid, its their crappy software that turns people off.
either way, all the reviews say this is a solid device. the Nexus branding will help LG make a name for themselves, the way it made HTC known in the android world, and the same way it made samsung known. its more about getting out there than it is about profits.
I would spend my hard earned money on a Samsung phone, won't touch an LG phone after my Vu experience.
Sgs3 and Note 2 are 2 outstanding android phones. Sorry HTC, my experience with sensation will be my final adieu to HTC.

Here is an article from gsmarena "HTC sales continue to plummet in February"
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sales_continue_to_plummet_in_february-news-5654.php
I little disagree with the writers opinion that the drop is hardware related, as we all said several times before- it's only support related, or should i say "lack of support"?
HTC releases to many phones. HTC one x than one x+ than HTC one. All flagship devices in one year. They need to follow Samsung and apple. Release one great phone each year and support it for at least 2 to 4 years. What HTC does is release one phone and than 3 months later release a new one and drop the support for the old phone. That is why my next phone will not be the HTC any more.

Exactly! it's just nice to see their stocks and rates going down... not as fun as to see apple's stocks going down but still nice enough :victory:
Hi,
Samsung is also producing many new phones every year.
The problem with HTC had been their poor marketing and poor after sales support.
The 2012 One series have been poor marketed, with an awful wallpaper. Also quite overpriced compared with Samsung devices.
The performance of HTC devices has also not been the best. Our devices have always been shower than Samsung (in stock condition)
My next device will probably be a Nexus. I'm really tired of waiting forever for an update.
HTC should consider giving the option to buy a device running an AOSP Rom.
