[Q] Sensation got gorilla glass?

Sorry guys but i wanna ask a question...
Does HTC Sensation....normal one....not Sensation 4G....
Does it has GG? Gorilla glass? I saw some website....some said got some said none....but it doesn't make sense....cause all the previous htc phones...almost all got GG, impossible Sensation got none......
Any idea?
Thx

Yes, it have gorilla glass.

yea it does, i got drunk the other night and started taking keys and bottle caps to it to test it out, not a single scratch or scuff lolol.

Is there a sensation other than the sensation 4G? I don't know, I gave up trying to figure it out. Some websites say it does, some say it doesn't, when I got my screen protector applied at ghost armor, he said he didn't think it had it, HTC says it does, who the hell knows. But in the day or two between getting my phone and getting the screen protector, using it normally living in my pocket it didn't get any scratches

I have it to. But my phone is not from gorilla glas.

Gorilla glass is a gimmick. I had the original iphone for 3 years with no protectors and never had any scratches. Had my sensation for 4 months and a rivet on my jeans put a scratch on the screen very easily. Only one though

Yes and no. This is the answer I have been given, so sorry if it is wrong.
As I understand it there are two versions of the Sensation, the Z710e and the Z710a. The "e" is sold in N America by TMous where they have called it the Sensation 4G. It is also sold in most of the rest of the world where it is just the plain old "Sensation" with no 4G in the name. Same phone, slightly different name.
The "a" is sold in N. America by certain carriers and uses different bands to the "e". So it is a slightly different phone, but I think it is called the Sensation too.
So same phone with different names and different phones with same name. But I may be wrong; and I am certainly confused.

Be careful with gorilla glass
All I have to say is be careful with the screen on the sensation. I've only had my sensation for about 2 weeks. I've been pretty careful with it. I have a dedicated pocket for it. I have a case on it but no screen protector. The other day I bought the incipio case and put the packaging in the same pocket as my sensation for about 15 minutes. A few hours later I found a big scratch on my sensation. The sratch is very visible when the screen is on and very hard to miss. I ended up getting a ghost armor now the scratch is almost invisible when the screen is off and hardly visble when the screen is on. I've had many other devices in the past which I wasnt even careful with and they never got a scratch. My previous desire had gorilla glass it never got a scratch on it even though I didn't take care of it.
The htc sensation does have gorilla glass:

htc sensation backcover help?

hey i just got a htc sensation from trading with a friends and it has some scratches on the back so i wanted a new one i saw on ebay that was like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...ccessories&hash=item2a151686f2#ht_4450wt_1163
but how ever it's missing a pin right next to the speaker will it work on my tmobile htc sensation USA?

Yes. I believe this pin has something to do with international roaming, but I'm not 100% certain. Some people have death-grip, GPS, and signal issues with the TMOUS Sensation and they found that getting a new back cover without that pin actually HELPS those issues. Based on general consensus the worst case scenario is that you won't notice a difference...or the cover will be fused with an explosive and your phone will blow up. Seriously though, it works.

k thanks a lot pretty happy i traded my g2x for the sensation LOL

[Q] Rplacing a lost phone

I managed to lose my precious HTC Sensation XE and am wondering what is the best thing to do to replace it...
I have briefly looked on Ebay and the going rate seems to be 300-350 UK pounds. A brand new one from a reputable store 400 UK pounds.
I read on an Ebay page that one seller had a careful note of all ID and serial numbers in case anybody returned a phone that was not what it was when origanlly sold - which alarmed me that some may be selling fake or rebadged phones in some way.
[Questions]
Can an HTC Sensation XE not be a real HTC Sensation XE?
What is the best way to check if I buy one on Ebay?
What are the horrible cons I should be aware of?
[/Questions]

Yes It can, The only difference between NORMAL and XE is Beats audio, The NORMAL Sensation has 1.5ghz processor (but it has been down clocked by HTC to 1.2ghz) Whereas the XE hasnt. I Have a NORMAL Sensation, but with XE ROM so you would never know....
Check the sellers feedback, Look if he has sold several of these phones and make sure the feedback is positive.. I Would avoid buying from overseas... Like China (massive for fake stuff)
CONS -- There arent many cons, If something seems too good to be true it probably is... Always Make a safe and secure payment via paypal, that way if the seller is dodgy you can claim your money back...
Keep your wits about you and you will be fine, A lot of these phones maybe unwanted upgrades, Ive done it myself in the past..... Get an upgrade and sell it for £300 - keep my current phone which i am happy with - everyone's a winner
Not everyone is a scammer, But they are still out there.....
EDIT: The NORMAL Sensation is quite a lot cheaper than the XE, So if i was you i would Buy a NORMAL one and get Flashing some XE ROMs.. Save your self some money

Grand advice azzledazzle, thanks.
I particularly like the cheaper Sensation option - I hadn't actually considered that, but as I'm not now tied to a provider I won't worry about breaking the warranty rules or whatever so this makes perfect sense - flashing ROMs will be the way to go from now on...
Although I have just looked at the HTC One and I'm very tempted to order a new phone instead.

[Q] About to make the swich - need info urgently!

Hi guys!
I'm using a Motorola ATRIX at the moment. I've been offered an exchange with a HTC Sensation 4G.
I've had HTC devices before, the last of them being the EVO 3D. Now... let's get to work.
I hear the only difference between the Sensation and the 4G one is that the 4G version has tri-band 3G (and possible 4G support in the future - I'm not sure & I hardly give a damn). But I take the bootloader, radio and firmware HAVE GOT to be a bit different...
Can anybody shed some light on this? Would the same Sensation radios work on the Sensation 4G? Would the same ROM's that work on the Sensation work on the Sensation 4G, as well?
-----
Oh, the tri-band 3G isn't really something I need. I live in Romania, and dual-band 3G has been enough so far... so if I were to lose tri-band 3G support in non-Sensation 4G ROMs, I wouldn't complain...
-----
Another issue I want to know about is the notorious death grip. I play games that require internet connection (Pocket/Star/Dark Legends, you may know them), so... landscape mode + Wi-Fi = no Internet, lol.
-----
And last thing... Did ICS fix/improve anything on this death rip? Also, perhaps some of you guys bought a case to protect your phone (I know I do - MOMAX iCase Pro, they rock)...?

Well 4g just depends on your networks and where you live. If its the USA and you are on tmobile you'll be able to pick up 4g but I have no idea how long it will take for 4g to spread worldwide.
As for the death grip, you just kind of get used to it and you can still hold it on landscape but just in a slightly different way. Ics would never be able to fix death grip I believe because it is a hardware issue.
There are quite a few good cases out but it's not a Samsung, it won't break easily. Also you can buy a white housing cover for the phone which just makes it look amazing.

Makes sense.
When I had the HTC Desire, I remember how I had to hold the phone with my left hand in order to play Pocket Legends... it wasn't comfortable at all but still doable, lol.
How about the bootloader/radio/ROM part? Or I shouldn't worry about that at all?

Are you going to be rooting your device? If so they have some wonderful information here on that. If not, no to answer your question, those things are involved in rooting. But if you are look at the thread that will explain about that. It will help you understand that process
I think you will be very happy with your sensation! I know I love mine! Good luck to you! Enjoy your new device!

You don't say
If I weren't to root my Android and install a custom ROM every once every two weeks or so, I would've be a retard and bought the shiPhone instead.
I thought the Sensation 4G and Sensation have different drivers etc. (like the EVO 3D - GSM and CDMA). Turns out I was wrong (made some extensive research). It's not necessary anymore, the Sensation that guy had wasn't 4G - dumbass, Vodafone ain't selling 4G units, lol.
This guy's phone had loads of dust under the screen (he advertised it as being barely visible - NOT effing true). You know how a supernovae looks like? Cut it in half and put it in the middle of the screen; each half on each edge on the screen. Spraying dust much? Stupid bas..... got my hopes high.
I also tried to hold the phone in specific ways to test the death grip... It was definetly there, even with 3 different cases on, and I definetly hated it with my guts. Looks like I'm sticking to my ATRIX

If you wanted to ignore the death grip a case is the worst thing you can do. Ever.
It will constantly weaken your signal.
Sorry to hear about the dust, sellers should always be honest

[Q] About Housing

Hello every one,
Few days back I got my phone's display broken and I went HTC to repair my screen. Unfortunately (in India) they don't have att hox display and they said sorry with the inconvenience (and they said its not possible even to import the display too). Now i'm end with my broken HOX,but i don't want really to be end like this (As i haven't found any OEMs on eBay too)
They replaced International One x's display to my at&T HOX just for testing (of course,it was lil small),well it was working fine!,So my question is,
Is it possible to change complete housing of my at&t HOX to International HOX and the display too? whether the camera and buttons adjust perfectly for that?
Thanks a million for the helping hand.

Lol.... Uh no. The at&T is slightly bigger and I just Don't see how it will work out. Ur saying putting like the whole international one x phone housing on the at&t version?...
