[IDEA!!!!] HTC Sensation XE back-cover

I've decided that my next phone will be a HTC sensation, but what if we could buy a HTC sensation xe back cover, use it on an original sensation, then BAM! Red speaker grill, black back cover and beats audio logo printed on. That coupled with a custom ROM that gives you a beats audio profile will give you a sensation identical to a sensation xe except for the red LED lights and the higher capacity battery( you could buy high capacity battery).
So, what do you think?

I thought this was obvious? Lol
But yeah, I hope I can get a XE cover soon, I want to make the current one brushed aluminum

Had this idea as soon as I saw sensation xe, unfortunately haven't been able to find any back covers for sale

As soon I get the chance, I will do it!

I've heard it won't work. Something to do with the pins or the antenna on the back covers being different. But don't take my word for it lol

I think thats just the T-Mobile USA it applies to, as the antenna is different on the Sensation 4G

Go to ebay uk search 'htc sensation xe back cover' its the 8th or 9th one down it says 'ORIGINAL OEM HTC SENSATION XE BEATS AUDIO BLACK REAR BACK DOOR BATTERY COVER' It might be from hong kong but its a start, only £30 too!

i've been thinking about how to do this with a tmous sensation... and this is what i've found.... the XE back has a spot for the 4g contact... what do you guys think?

You can always purchase the new XE cover from ebay and pop off the top plastic piece and replace it with your original one so you can retain the antenna. The camera ring also pops off. The only difference would be the plastic will be two-tone from the bottom piece like the original sensation.

That white one looks nice. Like to see what else turns up in the future.

would it work on sensation 4G?

I guess check if the contacts are in the right place on the pics

My Sensation is a Z710a (Australian model) It doesn't have the contact on the top left but does use 4G. It used to show a H but since changing to Coredroid, it shows 4G. (it also shows up as a Z710e now)If that missing contact is supposed to be the 4G antenna, how am I using 4G?
Also, what are the small contacts on the left about 2/3rd's of the way down? mine has 3

Hey whats up guys! I have T-Mobile and just got my White HTC Sensation housing from ebay. It came with only 3 antennas but just so you know, I still get 4G, Wifi and GPS. It works perfect! Also it actually got rid of the grip of death issue as well.
Heres some links...

HTC Sensation Beats Audio Black Battery Cover

Hi - anyone bought one of these, I know there is a White cover thread, but anyone bought the black one with beats audio?
Does it fit the original HTC Sensation? Anyone have pics they can share?

That's for the Sensation XE. Would it even fit/be compatible?

It will work with the regular Sensation, but not the Sensation 4G

There's a standard 3G Sensation?
I thought there was the Sensation which was the Sensation 4G, the XE and the XL.

Are you sure about that? I thought whatever fits the xe should fit the T-Mobile sensation 4g aswell

Yes.
There's the Sensation (The original one), Sensation 4G (for the US), Sensation XE (The beats version of the original) & Sensation XL (Bigger screen, slower processor)

The Sensation 4G has an extra antenna in it to be able to use 4G. (Meaning there's an extra connector on the inside of the battery cover)
The Sensation & Sensation XE are both 3G only phones.

but the sensation "4g" is really just 3g, its HSPA+. I thought I read somewhere that the missing antenna has no effect whatsoever on reception/data.

isnt the sensation xe 4g as well? so shouldnt it work?

Nope.
It's 3G like the regular Sensation.
It will fit on a Sensation 4G but like i said, one of the antennas won't connect to it like the rest.
I've seen a few people say that it doesn't make much difference, but others have said it means that you hardly get any signal. Have a look at some threads that talk about both phones and make a decision based on what you read.

I've had that beats cover on my phone for the last few weeks. I have a TMobile Sensation 4G. It works just fine with it

Any pictures of the black beats cover?

So it does work good on your tmoblie 4g

I have the white one and I get great 4g coverage and GPS wifi still works great. The best thing I can think of is that I don't have creaking on the bottom left anymore. The case fits better

Link for purchase?

Just to confirm, I currently own a Sensation XE and am on T Mobile USA. My son has a Sensation 4g. While true, the Sensation 4g case does have an extra connector in its back plate, I have swapped the back plates and was able to connect to T Mobile's network instantaneously with both.
I wouldn't worry about if I were you.

Ask yourself this..Is it really worth spending $30 on a back cover? I mean if your back cover is missing, then yeah its worth it. Otherwise not so much.
Although it does look pretty cool

haha, i have to agree, my back cover is chipped so bought a replacement on ebay for 13.99, just plain black.
now if the beats logo one was around $15 shipped, i would buy it but not for these $25-$30+ range

But so what? As long as HTC sells it for the same price as the black version everything is fine, isnt it?

It looks far better in this colour scheme than the original did.
It's not a bad price either.

Senstation XE by default has 1080p @ 30fps.

In Israel they are already selling XE in white.
Just bought one this week.

Other than the colour are there any other differences in it?

I have a black unit also that I bought a week before for my mom, so I was able to do a full comparison.
The phones are identical both in hardware and software, anyone that thinks that the white unit comes with ICS built-in forget about it.
The phone as we already know is ICS ready and will get an official update.
The cool thing that you get everything in silver-white mix: the phone, usb cable, headphones.
I have to say it looks better in silver-white than in black.

Will it work XE back on TMOUS 4G sensation

I have a Tmobile usa 4g sensation.
I wonder if a htc sensation xe back cover will work.
I know there is a lot of posts but i cant get a definite answer.
Any help would be appreciated

go to the htc website and check out the measurement of the phone, and that should help you, i noticed that the xe and the standard version in the uk are the same measurement. i dont think htc would make to different size version of the phone... who knows.... i hope i could be off help

From what i know the 4G versions have 4 antennas on the back casing... The one i have only has 3 (im in UK) so no 4G for me (Vodafone don't support it anyway)
So providing the new back cover has all 4 antenna then I would assume it would work.

Works for me, I have tmo, and the white senny battery cover

Yes it will work fine for u...I have a sensation xe case on my sen.4g and have no problems at all

Battery Back Door Cover for HTC Sensation

I have quick question the Battery Back Door Cover from sensation 4g/xe fits on the normal sensation (europe)? What's with antena it will work good ?

And what's the difference between this two :

?

Yes it will work, and the only difference between the two is the addition of beats logo in the first one.

I'm wondering if these replacement back covers got metal at all? or if they're just plastic... it's always hard to find out

you can always ask before you get them. i ordered white one from ebay and they told me its same as original with 2 plastic parts and core from metal

Most important... was it correct when you recieved it?

we will see i ordered it before 3 days it will take some time to get to serbia

I've got the white one but the problem with it is that you can easily see the dirt and if your hands have anything on them, even small marks of pen, they get put onto the white parts
