Hey everyone, I'm looking into a Sensation 4G and was wondering if the two phones are interchangeable as far as roms and kernels go.
The only reason I ask is because I am currently running a Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S 3G) and I know there is a difference between that and the Galaxy S 4G...
I mean, they do have different forums after all.
=)
Thanks!

Yes, every ROM and kernel is interchangeable between the two. The Vibrant and Galaxy S 4G were completely different phones whereas the Sensation and Sensation 4G are not.

Only difference is the Sensation 4G obviously has 4G.
and how to tell the difference between Sensation and Sensation 4G?

Can't tell if serious.
I currently have the DHD, and I was kind off interested in the sensation XE as a possible upgrade, finance is not an issue, but i was really discouraged after reading about the sensation's ''Death grip'' issue.... I have looked around on the internet but couldn't find any suffiecient responses regarding that issue....
1.do you guys know if the death grip probs are still being reported by sensation XE users???
2. if no, do you recommend me upgrading my DHD to XE??
**motives for upgrade== better specs, better battery life i.e more movies, more **games etc. , better music experience, and last but not least to possibly get **the new version of android and htc sense
p.s plz feel free to recommend any other device for a possible upgrade (excluding Galaxy s2 )
Ive just upgraded from the DHD to the XE and i couldnt be happier! I havent noticed any issues with a 'death grip' at all.
Dual core is smooth and havent had any lag, beats sounds amazing (although i know they have a runnymede port on dhd anyway), the headphones are pretty good and phone feels the usual HTC quality. The thing i noticed the most is the better screen resolution, and as it has gorilla glass, there's no need for a screen protector!
All in all a very decent upgrade and id have no hesitation in recommending it!
Just wait off there are better phones coming out soon

If you live by that policy, you would never buy a new phone. Or a new PC. Or a new car ......
I've had no issues with death grip on my Sensation. Couldn't be happier that I made the right choice.
thank you guyz for the responses.....it really helps
And this members opinion I'd learn to ignore. Just for future reference .

Some guy wants to trade me his PERFECT like new Nexus S that comes with all acesspries, and a Samsung infuse 4g with a cracked screen for my sensation. Any thoughts on this?

I wouldn't

Hell no.
Nexus s isn't really better then the sensation however if your bored and want some changes go ahead..

Nexus S is a good phone, but I wouldn't do it. I don't like AOSP that much to take a downgrade on hardware. Also I've no use for the Infuse, so I wouldn't really care to fix it.
That's just me though.

Don't do it, it's the best phone i've ever bought.
I wouldn't take the deal. If you can trade-up to a One-S or One-X then maybe (if you add some money)...
Noooooooo way

Hi all, in your opinion who of this devices are better in gpu, games, CPU etc? The Samsung galaxy s2 or the HTC sensation? I think for me the sensation is better in materials, more faster, better design etc, and what do you think? Sorry for my English but I'm spanish
Answer me please

There both good phones for me when I had my s2 I didn't like how it felt in my hand it felt cheap even though it ain't lol. My g2x was a good phone but no stable ics made me move to the sensation . But out of those 3 phones the g2x had the best screen while out doors
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
I have both, overall Htc is beter to me, but YMMV...
I suggest the s2. Although the screen resolution will feel terrible its more powerful than the senny and it will for sure get jelly bean, while the sensation is most likely not getting an official jelly bean update.

The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, but the Galaxy S2 has the exynos processor which makes it seem faster.
It's all down to personal preference.
I like the sensations hardware and hate its software (sense 3.6) But i like the galaxys software & amoled screen and hate its hardware (plastic), if that makes sense...
I had both.
sensation>s2>sensation.
Both are good.
If you want better performance - s2
better screen - sensation
SGS2.
HTC has sh*tty update policy, so the sensation won't get JB update. Former flagship phone won't get update, that is insane.
I'll never buy HTC phone anymore in my life. And even after that.
sgs2 for sure super amoled screen is awesome makes up for low resolution i have both and camre is also very good in s2 :victory:

i had the S2 then sold it and got the sensation used it for a while and i realized that i liked the S2 better so now I'm stuck with the S2 and i love it specially with the Jelly bean CM10.1 is just wicked .
but honestly there isn't much difference between them they are both nice devices i think it depends of each user how they feel .

I test both, the GSII is slow and laggy with 100 apps, my sensation xe with 150 apps isn't laggy and is Awesome Fast. i think that is better the SENSATION.
My gf has sg2, it's definitely faster and has better battery life than the sensation. However, build quality wise, it's sensation all the way. SG2 has a much more thriving development scene too and, because it sold an order of magnitude more units than the seny, it will be supported by devs for far longer. Personally, I don't find the difference in performance big enough to make me regret my phone choice, and I'll move onto a new phone before lack of Dev support will become an issue. I value good design over slight performance boost. Plus, to be honest, I don't like Samsung's copy paste approach to touchwiz. At least HTC didn't blatantly try to rip off another company, that's got to be worth something, an HTC phone looks like an HTC phone - not a wanna be iPod.

Totally agree.
My wife has sg 2 and I have a senny. Hers is slicker that's for sure but build quality on my senny is far superior.
The thing I really hate about the sgs 2 is that horrible home screen button.
I have orderd the N4 now and will be sorry to loose the senny but I think that dev of the senny is just about peaking.
With stock stuff SGS2 is better imho, as Sensation has ****load of bloatware ... like Sense and whatnot, also SGS2 gets official Jelly Bean, whereas Sensation gets ****. With rooted stuff, still SGS2 is better since basically all of them Jelly Bean ROMs for Sensation got something "buggy, not-working as intended, not working at all or overall unstable, combitanion of all these factors at once in the worst case". So my subjective opinion is deffo SGS2.
Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug
In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

It does lag but its interface seems even more bloated than HTC sense. Also, the 3 d requires more power.

I love my sensation. I have no issues with it and have never had. Development is amazing too! The only let down is the company itself and their support towards their phones...

I think the phone is good. Though its pretty outdated with all the new phones being released with better stats. But with the custom roms we get here it still manages to keep in the fight.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics
I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.
Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2
Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.
Sent from Ty's ViperS Sensation. A beast of a phone.
The BAD:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
The GOOD:
*Everything else
