Generally with branding you will find that there is a boot animation with the providers logo.
Other than that they often install extra applications on the phone. I know more had a separate category down the bottom of the app menu called Vodafone.

Also, easiest way to tell is based on where to got the device. The carriers normally tag the phone somewhere in the physical device. But previous poster is correct as well, carries usually load their own bloat junk on the device. Easiest way to tell.
Side note: if you never unlocked the phone yourself and can go from SIM to SIM then its a manufacture unlocked device that's never been branded

I did some searching on this topic and it seems here on xda this was discussed in January. Here was the conclusion. Branded devices will have carrier logos on the device itself, unbranded devices will have no such logos. I hope I helped answer your question. Also I learned my device is in fact branded because it had T-Mobilelogo on the left side ,so I also learned something ! Best wishes to you!
Hope this was helpful.

every now and then i see people saying "this rom is compatible with the sensation and sensation 4g" do is there really two different sensations and if there is, could someone put a pic of both of them in the comments cause i dont undersatnd the difference
They are the same thing.
I think it just means that if you have a T-Mobile 4g that you will get the wifi calling and other T-Mobile specific apps. And if the rom detects that you don't then it won't install those apps. But I'm not sure.

International Sensation vs T-Mobile US Sensation 4G. US version has different radio that operates on the "4G" band that T-Mobile uses. Not really any hardware difference other than an additional antenna for TMOUS. Some ROMs may only have support for the international version, others may only support US version. Most ROMs support both though.

All roms work on either phone but tmous stock roms have extra apps which are network specific like wifi calling. If anything it's only a users choice of radio that makes any meaningful difference to compatibility.

HTC has turned on the Wayback Machine and is now offering a bootloader unlock solution for the Droid Eris, the HTC Hero, the HTC Legend, and the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and 4G flavors. It's a move that surprises most of us, as we never expected HTC to go back that far in their device lineup to do the right thing. Most of us have moved past these devices, but I can't be the only one who wants to get a little nostalgic and break out the phone we used before the phone we used before the phone we're using now and give it a go. Do note that the Hero unlock tool is for the GSM versions only, and you may have to flash a new RUU (HTC-speak for a full OEM ROM) to do the deed.
But, hey, they were great phones for their time, and they deserve the same treatment as todays great phones do. Thanks, HTC! Hit the source link to get your unlock on.

Am I the only one who sees this app? I have unbranded phone why would HTC install this spyware/logger on my phone without my knowledge ? Looks like its time to root afterall

No one I have spoke to actually knows what that app does, however there are more loggers on the stock one (HTC feedback and smith.apk are 2 of them) so rooting and flashing a custom ROM is well worth it IMO

I didnt have it on GB, afaik this thing was only available for operator locked phones
I've always had it on my SIM-free Sensation. Used to delete it from my custom ROMs but never been bothered about it
Hi all, so I'm in the process of buying a second hand Sensation which is currently locked to Bell (Canada).
I've seen a few ways in order to sim unlock this here on XDA forum, but is there one recommended way for noobs to follow in order to unlock?
Also, I have seen there is a HTC Sensation and a HTC Sensation 4G. Is there anyway I can tell if the phone I am buying is a 4G?
Thanks in advance
Actually that is wrong. The sensation 4g picks up 4g. The normal one can't and never will, it doesn't have the extra antenna to be able to anyway. The xe and the normal sensation are the same just that the xe has red lights which are admittedly quite sexy

Yes the yahoo answers aren't really valid but honstely search it up. When I went to America and I connected to the T-Mobile network why couldn't I pick up 4g in the heart of new york?
Maybe I'm wrong but I know for a fact there is an extra antenna and so what on earth could it possibly be used for?

The Sensation's 4G is HSDPA. Every Sensation is capable of that, even without the antenna.
I am actually going to use one of your sources.
So I got the case today and put it on. To my surprise, everything seems to work. I het the normal 4G HSDPA signal and data speeds for my area, and Bluetooth and WiFi work just fine with identical levels to the 4G case.

And what did you get? H?
It only shows the 4G icon on a non-T-Mobile Sensation if you change the icon from H to 4G.

Hello
Follow this guide to s-off and root! This is what I used and it worked perfectly..I skipped the part about the Supercid as I will not be flashing NON-TMOUSA ROMS.

It appears complicated but in all actuality it is fairly easy.

How do you tell? I know it TMOUS, the ring around the camera lens is blue, the phone is silver.
EDIT: LOOKS LIKE ITS AN S4...tmous ONLY DSITRIBUTED THE 24 ACCORDING TO THE NET
why would you get rid of a one S for a sensation? the one s is an upgraded sensation (s3 or s4, either way)
although that pentile matrix really sucks, its not enough for me to downgrade phones

I'd go for it then
No unless it had 32gb of storage. Assuming this is the t-mobile one s without removable battery and without micro sd card slot
One S... nope.
One X... sure.
The One X+! If tmob ever gets it.
Tmobiles not getting the HTC one x at&t is only getting it.I know it sucks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
sure, if you want to lose the sd card support an removable battery
Decided to keep my sensation, loss of expandable memory kind of turned me off...
The one s is way nicer. IMO

And to get inferior (IMHO) pentile Amoled screen.
Neither One X, One S or even GS3 are worth upgrade from Sensation tbh. Might as well sit it out till Xmas or March next year. And i'd avoid tegra3.
There won't be anything worth the upgrade until next year at least on T-Mobile. Unless the OneX+ comes but it's not going to happen

Opinions are like... Well you know... And I'm offing this thing ASAP to get a note 2. Easily a worthy upgrade. As far as on topic, as has been said maybe for a one x but one s just disappointed the hell out of me. First smart phone I ever had was HTC and every one since; but they need to open their eyes. This year was an abysmal failure by HTC. Especially for tmo customers. I honestly want to know who thought no removable memory/battery was a good idea. When's the last time you heard someone say "this phone is great but I just wish they would lock the battery up and not let me expand the memory." Just because Iphone does it doesn't mean it's right. I'd be hard pressed to even find an Iphone user that didn't want to take the battery out and expand the memory. That's not even a feature, it's a lack of a feature. 2 at that.

I wouldnt lol. I'll still keep my Sensation and just get another device. With Sensation's removable battery and microsd card, my Sensation can be media device for my car.
The problem with the note II is that if I wanted a tablet I'd just get a tablet. Its size is just too large to carry as a phone.
