This is not hTc fault. This is T-Mobile fault because T-Mobile has to agree about everything hTc want to do with the device.

Update seems to make sense more stable! Hope it stays that way. Very responsive and fast like it was when it was new, but like I said hope it stays that way.

Wow! First we hear that s-off is close, then a system update? Merry Christmas in July

Downloading now, anyone else notice any differences?

My phone seemed faster at first, but now it's back to good ole Sense induced lagginess.
GHasgy%^&#ERRFD. At least we got some good news from AlphaRev.... hopefully soon....

The update was just for stability as far as I know. Regardless I notice everything working a lot smoother since the day of purchase.
The battery seems to last a tab bit longer. Nothing super duper but enough to notice some increase as well as increase in overall system performance.

I find that the update improves stability and smoother.
Strongly S-OFF !!

What is the hboot version after the update?

This is the same HBOOT after the update as I said : HBOOT : 1.17.0011

The 1.35 OTA is only minor bugfixes.

I dont see any changes
I dont really see any changes, oh well

This is someone's post about the 1.35 update:
http://www.sensation-devs.com/index.php/w4lth3r/378/leaked-1-35-update-review/
After a month of working with version 1.28, 1.35 leaked last weekend (thanks Football), so I flashed it right away!
This version was for 'unbranded' devices only, that means it has been made for devices without customization of carriers. This unbranded devices are normally called 'vanilla'. The nice thing with unbranded devices is that you can flash the newest software update from HTC without waiting for your carrier to approve it. In practice the carriers release the updates months later than HTC because they have to put their customization (bootanimation, apps etc.) before they release them to the customers.
But ok, back to the update...
We are eagerly waiting for the update by HTC that will unlock the Sensation. Unfortunately, nothing changed after this update, the Sensation is still S-ON. This means you can only flash software made by HTC, no custom roms can be flashed yet. Too bad for the development community...
The new update brings a lot of improvements that you won't see but feel.
HTC seems to work on optimizing the software to get the maximum performance out of this device. Besides the cosmetic improvements there are also some differences under the hood. Just to mention some, the agenda, camera, contacts, gallery, twitter and Sense have being improved, and there's a new version of them on this update.
HTC Sense has been improved a lot, not in the looks, but in its performance.
Sense first consisted of several so-called modules, that were loaded separately depending on what the user did in Sense. This meant less memory usage, but more memory fragmentation. In detail, memory fragmentation increases the battery usage and can slow down the phone. Because people were complaining about the lag on Sense, HTC redesigned Sense and made it into 1 module instead of several separate modules. This results are positive, and Sense is now faster and a lot smoother.
This update includes a new, improved, radio.
After purchasing the phone, I wasn't really satisfied with the signal strength. While any other HTC device had enough Wi-Fi signal to chill in the garden while browsing the internet, the Sensation was not getting any signal at all. Happily enough, HTC did a good job on the latest radio and now I won't lose my wifi connection anymore when I'm moving far from the router. Despite this improvement, I still think they can do better with it.
Battery life - a hot topic now that smartphones become increasingly powerful and consume more power.
The battery life was good before the update, and now it is even better. Sense has been improved and optimized to use less power and the new radio manages the wireless connections of the phone efficiently and saves battery power. Also, charging is much faster now.
All in all, this update is worth the shot. Do not expect vast improvements but it will make your phone snappier, improve your Wi-Fi performance and make your battery last longer.
The full potential of the Sensation will be unleashed once we get root and S-OFF. Everyone is looking forward to custom roms, and I hope we can flash this beast soon!

3) Little more faster, but if you use live wallpaper the change is not worth mentioning
4) The browser is still good enough, no change
5) Yeah, i have a little bug in keyboard, sometime unusable, not respond, many errors when hit the button
It was not enough time to test, but keep trying

1. Yes, Sense seems much more responsive. Swipes seem faster, and certainly when swiping through the home screens or through the application lists.
2. I did not have the deathgrip issue. That is to say, I never hold the phone with my palm covering the whole end of the phone.
3. See 1.
4. Not noticed specific improvements in the browser so far.
5. I haven't had the reboot when using the camera with geo-tagging yet. Hopefully that's fixed but I won't know until I've used it for a few weeks. The gain of the stereo-audio is still set too high, causing clipping when doing video recordings... hopefully they'll fix this soon :-(
6. In The Netherlands, the Watch application now has the ability to purchase videos.

I had the deathgrip issue before. I don't normally hold it in that position, but if I did, I'd loose all my WiFi signal. It still happens on 2.3.4, but not nearly as much.
Sense feels faster and I don't get the touchscreen not being responsive anymore.

They still apparently need to fix the stupid speakerphone issue. I mean hell my phone is reasonable volume when it rings or plays media via the external speaker. but when you get a call and hit speaker or while your on hold with someone and turn on speakerphone, its pointless

1) Haven't had any issues, but feels somewhat snappier now.
2) Only had moderate signal drop with " death grip" before ota, and it seems about the same now.
3) Sense definately runs smoother now, the "carousel" didn't look smooth before, it does now. olling also much smoother.
4) Haven't noticed any improvements.
5) Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but screen capture with power + home now works! Never worked for me before the ota.

Everything is more responsive. For everybody that ditched the sensation you should have had more patience.
Can't wait for 2.3.5

More responsive and better battery life
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Waaay more responsive. No lag now.
I see no difference in wifi signal.
Not sure about the touch screen issues yet. Will have to test that...

Agreed with everyone, smooth like butter. I would also like to add that battery life is improved. WiFi calling for Tmous is not hogging battery anymore. Standby battery usage is way better. I am using stock Tmous radio.

Do I have to flash the new radio to use 2.3.4?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No you don't need to flash new radio. In fact I tried the new radio for a little on my tmous sensation then reverted back to stock radio.

I have a question for you 2.3.4 users...is there any improvement with the speaker quality?

The speaker quality during playback (e.g. of Watch trailers) is fine, the stereo-audio recording during videos is still clipped. As far as I can tell, the gain is set too high on the mics, and this has not been corrected in 2.3.4, nor is there a way to manually set the gain lower. In other words: still waiting

1. Cant tell, it has always been good to me.
2. Didnt have it before
3. Yes, alot, its really snappy now. No lags what so ever.
4. Havent noticed any.
5. Have a screen related issue, came after I got 2.3.4. Se my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16634483#post16634483

1. Didn't notice any issues before.
2. Didn't notice any issues before.
3. Sense is now much much smoother!
4. Browser does feel a bit snappier to me.
5. No issues as such, but it seems that the 'get more space' option does not work any more. When I select it from the storage settings menu I just get a little dialogue box saying there is no application available to handle it.
Maybe 2.3.4 has a different way of handling cache so the function has been disabled? Please could someone else confirm this?
Overall my sensation is now how I had imagined it would be before I got it - really fast and smooth. An excellent update.

5. Same here.

Forgot to say that internet runs smoother. I dont use the stock browser, but browsing in Dolphin is much more fun

looks like a promising update
thank you for your responses.
well it looks like the update seems good. I was particularly concerned with the app drawer touch response since my sensation has just developed it and feels really irritating. Hopfully the update should take care of it. Cant wait for the ota to hit indian shores, i guess itll take a couple of weeks.

It is very very smooth. Never had the deathgrip issue. My lock ring problem has gone also.

May update

Just got the may update for my g9700
Much better than before.
How are others finding it?

If you think that's smooth, then you haven't seen nothing yet... (Android Q Beta 6)

This right here. I had the sound issue on P where the sound would randomly switch from clear to bassy/muffled ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/semi-perm-fix-patch-random-sound-change-t3919626 ) , so I said enough since it's going to be almost a year, and Google still can't figure out how to fix it (and probably won't since Q is so close to release), so I went to QB6. P was 99.9% perfect for me. Just the sound issue I mentioned. It was buttery smooth, and worked flawlessly. Well being on QB6 for a full day, and using the phone for well over 12 hours, I can say QB6 makes P feel like Android version 5 or lower. Not only does it work flawlessly, but it's even smoother, better battery, better looks, and just overall a better OS. I feel like I just got a new phone.

Its loads better, sleep mode is better, although it takes a bit longer for the phone to fully wake up, and battery is excellent.

Guys, 2 days after the latest August security update my device can't connect to mobile internet. I have already declared it as connectivity interruption issue to my provider, but I was curious to know if someone else is dealing with the same weird problem. I already tried to reset network settings without further success. I could try to factory reset it as a last effort to solve this problem, but somehow I doubt that it will eventually help. Stock device, unmodified.

Xperia 55.1.A.8.1

hello, someone has already had the opportunity to test this version or has information on this firmware? The build number suggests a fairly significant jump.

It's only a small update, 85.6MB if I remember correctly, so I'm assuming it's just a security update.
I'm a light user and the only real issue I have with the phone is the fingerprint scanner; that still seems to be the same to me.

Why always useles threads like this ?
Its only security patch update with minor fixes but Sony never post that !!
Edit:
Fw 8.1 feels way more faster en snappier ?
All is damn fast and no issues ?
