I had the HD2. I thought I would never have a phone that would take it's place.
But I love the Sensation.
I was just wondering what phones did everyone have before the Sensation.

HD2, same thinking as you
great minds think alike this was the ONLY phone i was considering to replace my superphone HD2!
Yet another ex-HD2 user here. And I too believe the Sensation is the only phone, worthy of replacing the HD2.
Hello,
had a Nexus One before getting my Sensation, love the screen size/resolution and the device is quite faster, the camera is also better but I don't use it much
too bad the battery drains a lot faster (almost twice actually)
iPhone 3GS. Big difference but I'm loving it so far.
Nexus S

Bold 9700. The OS just got really boring for me and I wasn't taking advantage of the $30 I was paying per month for data. Really liking the Sensation so far, but there are some kinks that need to be worked out.
LG Optimus M. I traded it in for a $50 rebate and consider myself lucky. That phone was very frustrating - I went through three exchanges between February and April, it was very slow, and I could never get a Metro PCS representative on the phone when I had issues.
Motorola W755... My learning curve is steep.
Coming from the G2X
Switched from Touch HD

Same as OP
from HD2 superphone to Sensation
And because I just loved the Gingerbread rom with Sense 3.0 ^^
Nexus One for 15 months, G2X for 2 months >>>>Sensation 4g
I came from the Nexus S as well and i love this phone wayyy better! and the NExus S has a like no development what so ever and that was supposed to be a 'dev phone'

Yes I too came from a Nexus S. I bought the Nexus S thinking it would have the support that the Nexus One did.....boy was I mistaken.
Anyway, sold the Nexus S and and couldn't be any happier with the Sensation.

Coming from a Vibrant (had iPhone 3G for 2 years before switching to Android). The Sensation is what I expected from an Android phone (the Vibrant fell far short of my expectations).
Well I have a g2x atm, and let me tell you if when had more support from lg this phone would be on the top of the list but back to reality lol; I'm looking into getting a new phone and I'm stuck on the htc sensation and the the nexus s for t-mobile, now I need some help on this decision. How's the stock roms? Battery? Like just some feedback from you owners. Thank you for anyone who responds

Take a look in sensation android development and see roms support urself
There are lot of roms available for sensation and sensation having dual core processor as compared to nexus single core ,cam of sensation is also nice....8mpx ....
Sensation is definitely more powerful than nexus s.
Stock battery is 1520 mah and backup is gud not xcellent lol.
Sensation also support mhl hdmi support ,go for sensation its better than nexus s.

Well that would first depend on two main topics; whether you want HTC Sense or Vanilla Android.
The Nexus S's stock ROM is smooth, elegant, quick and stable because well it's pure Android.
The Sensation is a power house of hardware, HTC Sense has a lot of customization yet the stock ROM is sorta laggy here and there. However, if you root it, there are AMAZING Sense ROMs out there for you to flash it.
I went with the Sensation because it has a better processor, camera, more RAM, and it just looked awesome to me!
hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Personally, I would wait a month or 3, as new phoens will be released. The Sensation is now a relatively old device, and HTC will be releasing some new ones in the coming few months
The Sensation is fantastic, I love mine, but it's "standard" with specs....nothing is outstanding.
Thanks guys your really helping me, when I make a list of pros and cons for both phones this is what I get
Sensation pros
4g
Dual core
8mp
Under t-mobile so I can always report my phone lost
Cons
I hear that battery isn't great
And I hear a lot of bad about the Prosser
And the stock roms which I would really like some feedback on it because I love both sense and stock so if I could flash either and they would work fine I would be so much in love with this phone lol
Nexus s pros
Updates lol
Super almoled screen
Cons
5mp
3g
Not under t- mobile
Single core
And this doesn't matter so much about waiting for a new phone I'm due for an upgrade in July and I'm not trying to waste an upgrade on a phone that isn't going to get love lol im going to use the upgrade when I see the phone having great development

Id go this route unless you insist on having a rooted phone with minimal wait time for development. The downside of being first to get a new phone is WAITING for anything to be done with it.
If it were me, Id stick with a rooted g2x and wait for something better to pop up. ICS is out and about and I am sure that any new phone that has good hardware will wind up being great with the addition of ICS.

Then he'll be waiting forever because there will always be new phones. Seriously though, While the Nexus S is smooth, ICS will make this phone one of the best available. The latest leaks are already butter 90% of the time, and they're just leaks.
I recently wrote about the battle between Apple and Samsung, and how their recent products compare to what I think is the superior One XL.
You can check out the blog post here.
Considering the shortfalls of the iPhone 5 and the SGS3, do you think the One X remains the best phone out right now?
And if you do, does it upset you that the other two are getting so much hype? Or is it nice knowing you got the best while everyone else is getting something not as good?
Just wanted to start a discussion on the emotional aspect with our devices. It may sound crazy, but we all know we're all somewhat emotionally attached to our choices.
Good article. I had the Note, switched to the One X, switched the GS3. I'm currently back with the One X. There is just something about this phone.

Yes, I love the screen and i think it's the best screen. I thought the size would be too big but i really like how it's designed.
I still think this is the best phone out of the three. Everyone is saying "iPhone 5! Galaxy SIII!" But in all honesty, people overlook the One X, which is better than both in my opinion. Best screen of the three and looks damn good (though I'll admit, the iPhone 5 is sleek). Running CM10, this is, in my opinion, the best android phone in the US.
Should have went into more detail on what makes it better or else it just sounds like words from a fanboy.
Best phone running stock? For sure
Best phone for customizations? in the current state, nope. Even iOS 6 can already be jailbroken
Screen? In my opinion
Design? The camera sticks out a little too much if you have no case, but other than that, yes.
One XL > iPhone 5 > GS3.
I never was a fan of samsung phones, and I never hated apple products, but I certainly won't fanboy and say one thing is better than the other because it just 'is'
I am loving all the attention android is getting. People are finally starting to take notice of our amazing platform, and I don't care which device is leading the way. We all will gradually benefit

I loved my iPhone 4 before it got stolen. Switched to oneX, to give android a try, and I love it.
The one x is definitely the underdog phone. HTC is just not marketing the one x like Samsung and apple are.

Hmm, does over clocking an using a custom.Rom on the V, make it grow into the flagship size 4.7, give it LTE,
NFC and make it look like not a disposable phone?
I guess it must out run the dual core LTE phone even if it's clocked at 2ghz..it's the V afterall!
If so Kool, I can throw a 100 out for one now!

GS3 feels like one of those play phones I had as a child, and iPhone 5 doesn't bring any new innovations to the table. This phone has a great sturdy feel like the iPhone but this amazing open source OS. Now if I could install android on an iPhone 5 I would probably buy it immediately. Not sure why that project stopped, it was around during the iPhone 3G.
I totally agree with the OP - I came from the iPhone world, and I expected to feel some regret when the iPhone 5 was announced but...nope. The One X is already better in most ways I care about, with the possible exception of the camera. I've handled the hardware of the S3 and don't like it nearly as much...I've come to be a huge fan of unibody polycarbonate designs, and the screen on the One X is still unmatched. To Samsung's credit, though, you can get the S3 on pretty much every carrier ever, while the One X is more difficult to track down, especially in the US.
I really hope Google taps HTC or Sony for the next Nexus, instead of going to Samsung again. The One X running stock would be damn near perfect, especially if it got a slight spec bump (slightly better camera, maybe more RAM). That said, I'm pretty damn happy running CM10 on my One X right now, and I can easily see it carrying me through until my next upgrade.
I also wouldn't mind a Lumia 920 running Stock Jelly Bean, but I may as well ask for a damn unicorn.

got an iphone 5 on launch day, coming from a HTC one x unlocked running team venom rom 1.23 with black out kernel. i can compare screens because my htc one x screen is cracked (getting it fixed) but they are both awesome! iphone is now long enough but still to narrow (should of been 4.3 inch). I get bored with phones quickly my ios past has been a 3g, 3gs, and iphone 4 before and i left it for android simple fact that IOS still looks the same as it did 5 years ago, seriously apple not revamping the UI blows my mind.
now that i have had break for 2 years its a nice change up but i know in a month i will be bored. that being said the iphone 5 hardware wise is better then the htc i feel, the build quality is same but the thinness and the way it looks the 5 looks in black really gets me. I always liked the one x and when ever i handed people the one x they always looked at the back and seemed impressed, so its no slouch. while my htc one x was as fast in a short browser test, maybe lost 2 mobile pages to the 5 by a one-two finish, but thats with a rom and a 2.1 OC. im sure if we went full website and less mobile websites where IOS has the edge it may have been different. i feel impressed that the iphone 5 can do this, The S4 krait is a hell of a cpu and has nearly 100% clock on the 5 and can still load pages faster, on the flip side a 5 month old HTC can still perform just as good as apple's brand new phone.
I liked my htc alot but i will be parting ways with it but i will not be leaving android, i plan on getting the note 2 next month and will be possibly switching the two phones out.
While I'm waiting for my One X replacement to come I have used my mom's Galaxy S3 and I do like the One X better. I thought that sense was snappier than Touchwiz. Plus while the screen on the Galaxy S3 isn't bad at all, the One X's is better and also has more color warmth.
Also, I had the liberty of using my brothers new iPhone 5. Performance on it is zippy, but even with the increased screen size it still is puny next to the One X. One X just has more features than the 5 and a way better interface. It also didn't feel much different from the 4s that I'm temporarily using.
Such a shame the One X/XL doesn't get a mention at all in the race between iPhone 5 and the GS3.
Hey guys,
I'm looking into buying the Nexus 5 as I feel like I want a much faster and more responsive Android experience and I also want to get a phone that is very well supported by the developers of XDA...
I have had both of the following handsets previously:
-HTC Wildfire(Buzz)
-HTC One V(PrimoU)
My biggest complaints about my previous handsets are that the Android experience is very slow, sloppy and HTC Sense'd meaning that to get an acceptable level of performance out of them they had to be rooted and flashed with 'close to Google' ROMs and because of the lack of developers that were interested in these devices they were relatively unstable even with their best ROMs.
My real question is pointed at users who currently have a Nexus 5 and had a relatively comparable phone to the HTC Wildfire or HTC One V, am I making the right move (based on what I've said) to buy the Nexus 5 and do you think that it's worth its money or are there better phones available in your opinion?
Absolutely get the N5.
I don't think there is a better option for a phone right now than the n5.

Well my mom had the One V. And that phone sucks if you compare it with the N5.
The Nexus5 is soooo much faster and better. And for this price you cant get a better phone at the moment.
It's almost perfect
I have had;
HTC hero
Nexus one (HTC)
HTC one X
Nexus 4
Getting my nexus 5 tomorrow.
The most comparable ones for me are going to be the htc one x to the nexus 4
The one x was a better phone than the one v that you have but still the jump to the nexus 4 was a massive upgrade in terms of performance and stability from the one x.
So you are going from a slower phone than I had to a faster phone than I have and I was happy with my upgrade so you should be very pleased with your new phone.

I haven't had your exact previous phone, but I had a Droid 1 and GSII and I promise you, you'll love the N5, it's just an amazing piece of machinery, especially for the price.
If you're a tweaker/modder or someone who enjoys exploiting the android OS for all of it's open source worth then the N5 is by far the best device you could ask for as of right now in my honest opinion. If not, there are other devices with better hardware on a more powerful platform. For me.....I had to get the Nexus.

Absolutely get the N5. There's a world of difference between old non-Nexus phones like the HTC Wildfire and the Nexus 5, not to mention the Nexus devices are made to be modded. There's literally no device easier to mod than a Nexus, and if you don't want to mod, the Nexus's stock firmware is still way better than HTC Sense or Samsung TouchWiz.
I have had the GSII, Galaxy Nexus, GSII before. Ok, the last step from the GSIII was not that, but I am still very happy with the purchase.
Has anyone went from the GS4 to the M8? What are your thoughts of the M8? I love my GS4 but I really hate how Verizon and Samsung are locking down the phone and lets not talk about the slow updates to the OS.
Thanks
The GS4 is still an absolutely amazing phone, but I made the switch to the M8 and absolutely love it. My S4 is still on the MDK bootloader and I had a little more freedom of flashing, but Samsung has made it known that its never getting any better. I won't argue build quality or specs because they are debatable to no end, but personally I love the M8 already.
FWIW, I was running Hyperdrive on the S4 and I'm currently on Viper on the M8

Well, you can S-Off the M8. So development should be awesome for a long time (there's already at least a dozen roms and maybe a 1/2 dozen kernels).
That aside, it's a beautiful device, it's fast, it's and Sense really isn't bad (though I don't use the Sense/Blinkfeed launcher).
I switched over from a GS3, and I'm never looking back to Samsung. Sense is about a thousand times better than TouchWiz (imo) and the M8 just feels quicker than my friend's S5. Granted the Samsungs have more features, but they're features that I would never use and I happily trade them for the build quality and ease of customizing offered by the M8

M8 IS THE WAY TO GO. I still have my G2 but verizon really pissed me off this time around for not updating the phone on time like other carriers just for the sake of selling the M8 and S5. I love the G2 camera and all but its locked down and very few dev. Xdabebb being the Bomb.
Anyway i got the M8 and I f...*&^%$#@ love it.
Now the M8 prime coming out in september makes me even more jealous. I would suggest you wait for the M8 prime if the rumors are real.
Without question the m8 kills the s4 in everyway....just my opinion but the m8 is amazing
Is HTC or VZW going to lock down the M8? I'm currently on a GS4 with the MDK bootloader workaround running Hyperdrive, but I prefer AOSP ROMs.

I went from an s4 to m7 to s5 to an m8 only thing I miss from galaxy phones vs HTC is the camera. IMO the galaxy camera worked much better. The locked down s5 I only last 7 days with. The rest of the phones are unlocked/ s-off/ rooted running custom Roms. S5 felt sluggish compared to m7(rooted/rom'd) go for the m8 but also try both phones out at the stores see which you enjoy more

Much to our dismay, Samsung has made great strides in device security with Knox and has been very vocal about it. I assume this is a movement to capture much of the enterprise market as security is a big deal there.
However, I have not seen HTC make the same kind of moves or express a similar agenda, so there's that.
But, yeah I think Verizon is going to want the guys at Qualcomm to patch this up.

I choose to get the M8 over the S5 because of the S-Off and I am glad I got this phone.
I had the S4, so I was in between the S5 or M8, seen the M8 had unlocked bootloader and root, so I figured S5 would not be so lucky to have that within weeks. I am using ViperOne Rom and its amazing really customizable ROM. I get awesome battery life with this phone and it will work from the time I wake till I sleep pretty much every day with my typical use and still have 25% or more battery life when I go to sleep.

I went from an S4 to M7 to M8. I still use one of my S4s randomly. I love the S4. Here's an idea of the two phones and how I feel about them...
The S4 right out of the box is nice, but it only amazing with a rooted and gpe ROM on it. New kernel etc.
The M8 is awesome right out of the box. The M7 is awesome right out of the box. Tweaking will refine the experience, but the phone isn't dependent on swapping everything out. I am still using the stock ROM on my M8 and M7, and I will likely keep it that way. I've tweaked them, but they're still stock mostly.
Hope this helps!

Came from a gnexus. Kind of illrevent but this phone "if you know what your doing" is the best phone out hands down.
The moment I got it I went home unlocked and rooted it. Next day Viper came out and it's been sexual ever since.
Fast, snappy, quick. This phone runs like butter.
Not trying to sell you but I'd buy.

I too came from an S4. I absolutely love the M8 best phone I've ever used. I've had the S3 as well and I'll never get another Samsung phone. Just ordered my fiance a glacial white and she can't wait to get her hands on it after playing with mine.

Had the m7 went to the sg4 now back to HTC with the m8.. same reasons as identified by other members.. Knox, unlocked boot loader for htc. I love the front facing speakers and have to say sense 6 isn't that bad but way better then touch wiz. like someone said play with the phones see what feels better but if your into flashing roms and altering your phone more then mods HTC would be the way to go.

Much to our dismay, Samsung has made great strides in device security with Knox and has been very vocal about it. I assume this is a movement to capture much of the enterprise market as security is a big deal there.
However, I have not seen HTC make the same kind of moves or express a similar agenda, so there's that.
But, yeah I think Verizon is going to want the guys at Qualcomm to patch this up.

I don't get what's going on with Verizon. The Samsung devices on sprint, t mobile, and international are not locked down the same way. Meanwhile, the last two HTC devices have achieved root and s-off without Verizon seeming to make much of a fuss. Maybe they're fine with HTC, LG, and others being more developer friendly...?
