We will switch the phones and he wants no money for that , he's my friend but how long HTC will unlock their bootloaders will they unlock all sold devices or only the new ones when they will decide to do that?

Hello everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing a sensation tomorrow but only today i realized that it could possibly come with an eastern asian rom 1.2X.707.XXX which is not WWE, how will that affect the phone? what will be the diefferences?
Question answered!
Hi again
Well i contacted Htc in the US and asked them, the (very) nice rep told me that there is NO difference what so ever between the european and the asian rom other than the languages added, SO - to those worried about that - hope I helped
HTC replaced my incredible s with a htc sensation. I live in the uk and just got the phone today. When I try to set up the phone the only English options are Luxembourg and Netherlands. Have i been sent a European phone by mistake? Can someone from the UK who has a unlocked and unbranded HTC sensation tell me if their set up screen allowed for UK English to be selected please

Mine came from Dialaphone and was unlocked and not branded to any network, when I first switched it on, it defaulted to English on the first screen I saw, then went through all the set up screens, all in English.
Yea just used a RUU and still only had those options :/, I shall ring HTC again.
Same problem - fixed by HTC...
Hi,
I had the same problem. Sent it back to HTC to flash to a UK Rom.
Works fine now!
Suppose if you have the wrong CID it could only display certain languages. I really don't know!
Hey there
I know I've been inactive on XDA for a while, I'm sorry for that
My Sensation has been stolen a while ago and I wasn't able to get it at all, so I'm planning of getting a new one. I live in Egypt and not planning of buying one from here at all.
I'm currently planning of getting an HTC Sensation XE, what you guys think about it? Or should I wait for the Sensation XL?
For now, I have a friend traveling to China, so maybe he'll buy it from there, is it a bad idea? What Software Versions come on Chinese Sensations?
About the price, will it be cheaper in China or USA?
Thanks a lot guys
I currently live in China and got my sensation here 2 weeks ago. I don't think there's an official Chinese version of Sensation. All I've seen here are black market handsets (I might be wrong though).
But what I'm certain is that most of the Sensation sold here is European version. They rooted the phone and replaced the ROM with those found in Hongkong or Taiwan version of the Sensation (so they can change the main language to Chinese).
When I purchased mine, I was offered that kind of handset for 2900CNY (without the memory card though, I even doubt the phone IMEI matches the box IMEI). There's also another set (Hongkong version) which is brand new, unrooted, still wrapped in original plastic packaging, and carried 8gb TF card). They do not need to do anything to this phone because it's Hongkong version, it supports Chinese by deafault. After some bargaining I managed to get it at 3130CNY.
230CNY difference, but if you minus the 8gb TF card (goes for around 100CNY), the difference is only about 130 CNY. But I feel much safer with the brand new handset. And so far I had no complaint at all.
Hope this helps
as a chinese, i wanna tell you that most htc phones' users in Mainland China are not using phones that should be sold in chinese mainland(most use phones that should be sold in HongKong and Taiwan, and my sensation should be sold in singapore), although we just buy them in mainland china. so our phones are not legal and have no guarantee. so don't buy cell phone in mainland china, obviously HK, TW, USA, or any other contries are better choices.
sorry for my bad english, i hope my reply can help you.

I was offered 欧版 which I assume is European version?? 港版 and 亚太版 are slightly more expensive..
Actually its more important to find a sim-free phone rather than what country its origins. Cos the roms can still be flashed but if you land with a sim-locked phone, it won't be easy for you.

yeah 欧版 is european version.
港版 and 亚太版 are more expensive just because they support chinese as original language
Thanks a lot guys!
Seems like a big deal buying it from china as I prefer buying one legally and still in the box..
So, seems like I'm buying an XE from Dubai What you think about this phone?
Any recommendations? Should I go for another phone instead? what you guys think?
Thanks again everybody

I don't mind buying a sim-locked phone, I can manage it
I just need to find the right place to buy it from hahaha
I bought a HTC Sensation in the Netherlands and it seemed to be a imported united kingdom model and there was no Dutch neither Chinese in the list off languages.
However that was easy solved. You just need to download an app from the Market called MoreLocale 2
Because it seems in fact the language is there, but you can just not select it via the settings and need this app, as far as I saw it worked perfect because the HTC Sensation is not setup in Chinese.

Thank you
I don't understand Chinese, I was just scared to buy a Sensation from China and to find it fake or without warranty..
I just didn't want to find myself with a Stock Chinese Rom, as I like using Stock Rom for the first week or two then start using Custom Roms..

Hello,
I tried to find an answer in the forum but couldn't, sorry for the new thread.
Well, I received my HTC Sensation XE today (Orange UK), but when I looked at the black sticker on the box I was frustrated to see that it's made in China
(with all respect to China)
The label inside the phone says that too.
I was hoping for a one made in Taiwan, as my current HTC HD2 is made in Taiwan, and HTC is a Taiwanese company.
I'm wondering, are most of the Sensation XE's made in China? Or did I get a bad deal here?
Are the ones made in China 2nd grade or something?

Labor is cheaper materials are cheaper, but a company like HTC will maintain quality.
Just because it's made in China, doesn't mean that it's a substandard product.
Nowadays almost all phones are made in China. It doesn't matter if it is HTC, Samsung or Apple.
It does not affect the quality of the phone.

Thanks guys. Yeah I know that iPhone for example is made in China... But still hoped my sensation was made in Taiwan.
Does Orange UK usually ship Chinese phones or it's just my luck?
