Unlocked Bootloader OTA in August

Well, it looks like HTC is gonna make me eat my words.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150305151453084
**We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.**

How about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread about this? Like the other 3 don't get the message across?

How did I flame him by saying to use the search feature and telling him we really didn't need another thread on this topic because there are at least 3 already that were created before his? Umm that's not flaming.. I wasn't rude or nasty. I just said "how about using that search feature? Did we really need another thread on this topic? Like the other 3 didn't get the message across?" How is that flaming him? I didn't name call or put him down in anyway, just it seems in this forum(sensation) people create more duplicate threads then the other device sections I frequent. It clutters up the forum with redundant information and makes it tougher to shift through all the same crap to find a useful thread.

Geeks stay pissed off, not there fault Just the lack of female attention can be over baring to some on here. Flame on geeks flame on.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

You know I have noticed more and more rude and sarcastic and flaming remarks as of late. I wonder if short tempers and faultfinding could be attributed to the following:
1. Locked Boatloader ( No definite time frame for resolution)
only vague promises and comments
2. No permanent root(temp root only)
A. No S=off for the majority so no custom roms etc.
3. Htc making vague statements and time frames(even the last blurb gave no real time frame for the US Sensation) and no realistic end in sight.(Hypothetically at least 2 months or more away, at least) Which leads to Feelings of hopelessness..
4. A great phone but many many issues(lots of returns and replacements)
5. Indecision as to whether to keep the phone or not.
Just some thoughts I know I have felt this way and if some of the above were addressed and accomplished I would have a better feeling about keeping the device and a better outlook about the situation in general.
Lets not take the circumstances surrounding the phone out on each other.

The frustration is coming from pushing the valuable info further away into the thread and on the first and second page we have 5 topics about the same thing. Xda should just take the search button away since no one uses it lol.

The point was good, the netiquette questionable. People just don't get "text" is NOT fully expressive. What do they say about not being able to have a picnic w/out ants?

Roms for S-off Sensation

Am I wrong, but they all seem 'less' than spectacular, it's not like getting the buzz from the HD2 after winmobile. I guess I expeted better performance, experience, it's not there yet, but grateful the devs are trying...

We only got s-off a few days back, and you wanna come here and complain in the wrong damn section already?

1 week is fast enough for us to be developing into a major performance of roms... like kernels new roms being updated quite frequently camera mods boot-animation all that just in a week... i guess it is more than enough items for you to test it out... developing stuff takes time... damn i wish i knew how to develop stuff... HAHAHA

Idk man I'm running Android Revolution and it's ****ing awesome. They've updated it twice in a week. What more do you want?

Hey man always give props to the devs making our device possible !

I for one think you're wrong if you're asking? great thread though.

I think you droidskulls missed my point...S-off has been out a week and my point IS, that there's been no time to HONESTLY develop a better rom... Oh and I've probably owned more phones and probably have more kids than most... I stand by my post, the Sensation roms at the moment are not ready...just my opinion...and I do appreciate folk developing these things...

Elitism was probably a poor word choice for your argument, mate.
I mean, I don't mind chastising people for asking questions that have already been answered, really - even when it takes about 5 seconds of effort to just answer it again. But "elitist" is probably a bunch of internet addicts flipping their **** over the fact that someone DARED to violate the sacred holy rule that you don't dare ask a question twice... or thrice.... or.... three thousand times.
Guy 1: Hi Guys! Gee, when's CM coming out?
The Community: RAAAAAAAAAR! HULK SMASH! LOL U R TOO STUPID TO SERCH GOGLE WHAT A NOOB. COMMON GUYS LET'S GO BACK TO CLUBHOUSE
Mostly, I'm just fooling around. I want people to search first and not make stupid posts too.... but the thing is, I AM and elitist. The guy asking the innocent question - probably not so much.

Keep in mind that this forum's search feature SOMETIMES doesnt work. Ive seen many times that it was either down or claiming to have found no results when it knows damn well that there are results. Its pretty frustrating.
Matt

this is true, but had he even GONE to the dev thread, he would have seen 1 cm thread and 2 gb2.3.5 ASOP threads on the first page alone..."searching" doesnt always entitle usage of the search function, but just simply browsing the appropriate threads

Wow all this comotion just for a little question seriously? All it takes is a yes or a no thanx anyways!

Well said my friend. The unfortunate fact of the internet is that in every forum (without fail) there is a very small group of self righteous pricks that troll around looking for people to "yell" at. Instead of simply ignoring a thread like hundreds or even thousand of other members do, they claim to speak "for the community" and insist on making a big scene and being obnoxious. Clearly the less duplicate threads on a given board the better, but the effort some of these guys put into not actually answering (or helping) someone is astonishing.

this is a terrible fact of XDA these days, and while ignoring it is easy enough, there are LOTS of ppl who feel that this is their "home" turf, that must be defended at all cost (im not one of them )
but the bigger problem is new members who dont even read the rules or guidelines for using the forums, they just register, dump their Q's or demands and expect an easy answer, when the answer is sitting literally right in front of them.
i do repect what aspects of the "community" that are left here with some of the most amazing devs for anything that ive seen in a long time, their ingenuity and determination is second to none (and that includes OEM manufacturers )
having said all that, this thread is dead and delt with, and hopefully the OP now knows to do a just a *little* browsing before asking a question he might/should already know the answer to, unless he's a troll, in which case, back under the bridge with him

Wow. All the effort spent to put this brother on blast could have been spent helping him. Love the negativity you clowns present.

we did help him, and hopefully he learned something along the way. i consider "iron fist" the responsibilty of not just mods/admins, but all experienced forum goers.
and if you saw sensation forum before and just after the sensation came out, you would be mildly pestered with posts like this...im not saying were better than him at all, but i, like many others, had to learn the hard way when it came to the etiquette of XDA.
5 minutes of browsing (not even searching) could have avoided this fiasco of a thread, which i do admit im mildly ashamed to be continuing, but i digress, it may have seemed harsh, but it could have been A LOT worse

Sebastians new overclocked kernels

Has anyone ran any of the new overclocked Sebastian kernels.If you have how where they are they more for performance or battery saving and did you use then on a sense or senseless rom.any input,feedback on these o.c. Sebastian kernels would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app

Use the god dam Sebastian Thread for asking questions about his kernel, it's what its there for, or even just read and you will get your answer.
It's time to do a Stats check to see if you are spamming with pointless threads...

Hi, It's really best to try these kernels out for your self and see what performance or battery life you get out of them. Every user is different with lots of different variables like different roms, over or under clocking, heavy users, light users, different mods and tweaks, even different batteries ! So what is working for some may not be what's best for you. Therefore It's always best because of the many variables some I mentioned above, to try things out on your own. You will get a much better answer that way instead of asking others about their experience. Just like with roms, what works for one might not work for another. We are all individuals with our own likes and dislikes and different tastes so please remember It's always best to form your own opinion on these kinds of things. I truly hope this helps, also the fun part is discovering new things for yourself. So in the future just give things a try and form your own opinions. I wish you the best! Just trying to help you out .

I'm being genuine, please, don't put yourself down, you are a good person ok. No need to bash yourself. It is ok. I hope you understand I'm not just being nice I'm being real. So please don't be so hard on yourself ! Give yourself a break and enjoy! Everything is ok. hope you have a great day!

Hi, the Sebastion Kernal runs really hot on my phone, or that's just me. But damn, it's super fast.

Depending on what you are doing, the phone can get very hot. Its due to a bad motherboard design with no means of heat dispersion. 3 dimensional games and browsing flash heavy websites will make it warm. Some intense games like RealRacing2 can heat it up so much it will burn your thumb on the screen.
Download System Tuner by 3c and go to the CPU section. There will be a graph and a figure of the CPUs temperature. This is handy if you have an aftermarket battery that doesn't have a temperature sensor like Anker. Anything up to 62'c is safe but if it stays there long the screen will heat up and burn your thumb tip if you hold them near the bottom due to playing a game.
Hope I helped!

Thanks man. I do have an aftermarket battery.
