This is by far the best phone I have ever owned. It is definitely a keeper for me. Like everybody else said, it just feels amazing and right in the hand. I am not having WiFi problems. But I can produce the death-grip if I hold it very tight on the top of the phone with both hands. No body holds their phone like that anyway. I noticed that the WiFi signal strength is very strong on this phone. I can go to the opposite side of my apartment and have full strength while my old vibrant drops the signal. Only problem that I have is my data speeds. I don't live in a 4g area but my 3g connection feels like edge speeds. I had a similar problem when I had g2x. I am assuming that the problem is something to do with 4g phones. I am hoping to see a fix for it soon. Even if there is no fix to it, I will still keep this phone until I have 4g in the area.
[HTC Sensation] dergnarf:
Yes, I do! Own and keep

Hi everybody!

I got my Sensation about a week ago. And it is awesome.

I previously owned a Desire then a DHD and now the Sensation.

All three phones are grate and I will definitely keep it!!!

I thought a moment about getting a SGS2 but decided to get the Sensation mostly because of the superior case quality and Sense (a friend at work got a SGS2 about 1.5 weeks ago and the plastic case did not convince me as well as the TouchWiz 4.0). The only thing that favoured the SGS2 was the bigger RAM. But I decided that this would most probably be no issue (Sensation: 768MB / SGS2: 1GB).

After booting up the first time I realised that you only get about 20% free RAM. Good ol' Sense ;) But everything works really smooth...

Dearly looking forward to getting it S-Off/Eng S-Off. Still on S-On. Always had custom Roms. There was so much difference on the DHD using LeeDroid compared to the stock Sense Rom. Not to speak of CM7.

Country: Germany / Provider: Vodafone / Happy: YES!

Regards...

I have the g2x and sensation like both,going to be a hard choice to make.I could let my wife use one and swap when I want to. Both are great phones
[HTC Sensation] Lazzzara:
Anyone having issues with wi-fi try going to Settings - Wireless and Networks - Wi-Fi settings - Advanced - Best Wi-Fi Performance.

Not sure if this has always been an option on Android, but my Wi-Fi signal is now as good as it was on my Nexus One. I imagine HTC implemented it to save battery. If you also change the sleep policy from Always On to something else you should balance out any extra battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
The root access will come,be patient. Hopefully HTC will give an update so we can unlock our bootloader, if not it might take longer. Not sure how far XTC has come on this.

However the SGS2 is a flat,plastic iPhone lookalike. My opinion that is. I tried them both before buying and the SGS2 does not feel good in hand and the build quality feels cheaper to. Yeah maybe it's snappier and faster in benchmarks but much of this is couse of the Sensations higher resolution. The iPhone 4 had bad benchmarks aswell but it's snappy as hell.

I use Sensation with ADWlauncher and Beautifull widgets with animations and live weather. Don't really miss Sense as of now and the phone is not lagging at all.
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
Just exchanged mine. Hopefully no probs this time.
[HTC Sensation] xenkato:
Happy with my Sensation, before j had a galaxy s ii.Amoled not for me.

Sensation will be terrific , a beast j believe after root..

Waiting for s-off..
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
Spoke too soon. Two black dead pixels on this one :(
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
so far 152 people buying or bought a sensation and keeping.

only 22 not buying or keeping,

lol i clicked yes but selling but now im keeping ;P so 87.5% wannit while 12.5% dont wannit
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
AWW DAMN. You gonna return it!?
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
I honestly dunno what to do.thats my second sensation and dead pixels are dooming me lol. I dunno if i should exchange again or return it and wait till later on for a fixed batch.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
you got 14 days to return it right? id say give it a few days or get your money back and try it from somewhere else, i used dead pixel test from android market, nothing wrong with mine, if not send it htc under warranty for repair within 10 days. IF YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT.

im sending mine tomorrow to have the deathgrips checked out and overheating, if there is nothing wrong they send it back, if there is, they wil fix it and send it back !
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
I did that test and its still just those 2 dead ones.

Can i send it to htc free? Or i got to pay shipping?
[HTC Sensation] oakland73rd:
I love my phone paid full price but that's what credit cards are for and I've only had this since this morning
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
You pack it up. Htc send you two printouts. One repair sheet. One UPS label. Stick it on..htc collect the device. Take it away free. Repair then send it back. 10 working days repair window from the day the repair center receives the device
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
didn't necessarily mean it takes long. But it means they have to get it fixed within two weeks. Otherwise they have to discuss an alternative with you.

I think that means a replacement
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
What number did u call
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I didn't lol. Used their live chat online. Also free ;)
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
Is it in the usa?
[HTC Sensation] Mr. Ulmo:
I had that issue too, reseting the phone solved it for me ...
[HTC Sensation] Mr. Ulmo:
I have no problems with WiFi on my sensation ...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Well they have alot of approved repairers they send it to. Like genuine htc repair centers. You speak to them. They are bound to have repair centers in the us

Just type in htc live chat in google. Takes you direct to their support page
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
Ok if walmart doesnt get mor this week ill send it in.
[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
Lovin my HTC Sensation!!! The GPS and compass kick my Samsung Vibrant's butt all over town and back! The Screen is just as clear and crisp as my Sammy. The only bad thing I can say about it is just LCD vs LED technology related. I use it as my bedside clock, and to produce black, it still has a backlight behind it making the black not so black. But that was to be expected.
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
Got it tonight and so far so good. Coming from a mt4g.

Never another samsung android device here.

Id rather use a Motorola brick phone from the 80s than use another Samsung :)

Never liked tw and the way samsung screwed all the sgs people on GPS was horrible.
[HTC Sensation] cg`:
I love mine, it holds very well in the hand, its lighter than my wife's desire Z. The screen is superb, I love the 4.3" size, and the huge resolution. Makes SSH shells a breeze to use.

The UI is great, and the display is crisp and smooth. Its super quick phone.
[HTC Sensation] jbl200:
100% yes

I'm gona keep mine :). super performance, good design, an excellent feel in your hand.

First day i wanted to kill htc for the low performance battery but i decided to wait and it got from 3/4 of a day max to 2 days already.(with Facebook htc hub, gmail, 2 exchange accounts in push mode, forsquare and some other small programs permanently running).

WiFi .. erm only used it once.I almost never use wifi. Mobile connection all the way.

I have full HSDPA connection everywhere and the browsing speed i's higher than on my hd2.(witch was limited to 7mb/s). so yeah it's a keeper. Can't wait for the s-off and unlocked bootloader :)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Cool. I'm not sure whether to send mine to htc under warranty concerning the deathgrip. Unit getting hot and also antenna signal not as good as the dhd.

It means upto two weeks without a sensation.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
U should send it back and get it fixed :) Even tho u're 2 weeks without u have the DHD and it's not a bad phone at all :p

If u don't u'll just be annoyed all the time and that's not a good thing...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I know, i didnt send it back though, cuz i broke my dhd and it is going to go to repair.

everyone will suffer deathgrip due to the design, nothing they could do about that unless htc offer a new back cover or a casing of some sort, unit does heat up, confirmed by HTC 30 to 40 degrees C is normal and upto 50 is safe. so no issues as mine goes upto 45 then goes down. but normally around the 38 39 on average use.

also signal seems to be fine, albeit weaker than desire hd but still it doesn't totally lose it. if i lose 3g it drops to 2g and i get a higher signal.
[HTC Sensation] DEAgEnErAl:
yes, and keeping it. big upgrade in performance from my HD2.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
I'm not suffering from the death grip at all :) Yes ofc it heats up.. It's a small computer. The SGS2 gets hotter:eek:
[HTC Sensation] SupremeC281:
Just got the phone 2 hours ago. So far so good. Haven't experienced any problems yet. No death grip issues. No Sense lag. None of that.

Box date reads 6/1 if that matters.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Great phone. I have had mine for a week and no issues.
[HTC Sensation] lisap006:
loving it
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I just got it. Upgraded from the myTouch4G and wow big difference but it feels so slow probably because I got so used to cyanogen mod on the myTouch. The screen is crisp and really nice. Haven't even had it for an hour yet. I really need root though wow. Life sucks without root.
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
Got mines last night. I'll just wait for the root. My MT4G with virtuous fusion was cool, but I actually like the battery life and data speed on the Sensation. I'm on my Tab while the Sensation charges from last night!
[HTC Sensation] craigkahn:
Was/is your HD2 rooted? I'm thinking about buying the Sensation but I just rooted my HD2 for the first time a few days ago (NAND Android) and the phone is super fast now - much smoother and faster than it was with WinMo 6.5. My question to you, and to any other HD2 owners with a NAND Android ROM, is the Sensation experience much better than the HD2 experience?
[HTC Sensation] DEAgEnErAl:
Yes it is. I had quite a few roms on my HD2 but the overall speed and flow of everything is smoother on the sensation. I like it. It hasn't frustrated me yet.
[HTC Sensation] The Great Dane:
No doubt that the sensation rocks, but can't wait much longer for s-OFF, that will make things so much easier, you will sudenly have the posibility 2 have a choice, stock rom or not and so on
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
me too, its killing me. maybe im going to write to htc telling them im feeling suicidal cuz i dont have s- off, and if i do end up committing suicide, htc is to blame :D might work :P
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
Keeping mine. My only complaint is I wish the charging port was on the bottom.
[HTC Sensation] duglas:
Love mine so far... Replaced my G2X which was awful....
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Woot! Just got mine and I'm loving it! I'll be missing the HD2, but that's ok. I'll keep it as a backup. :)
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
I like it better on the side, easier to put in car
[HTC Sensation] DEAgEnErAl:
yeah I feel you on that, but it's on the side for docking purposes.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Just got mines today! I'm loving it. I was on evils D's Fusion Rom on my MT4G before this! Love the screen and its smooth, this bad boy will fly when we gain root access! Nice to see some of the MT4G fellas here :D
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
oh right, didnt know that, it makes sense now, landscape docking :D
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
Its slightly faster but no that big of a difference, I was on hyperdroid 2.0.1 on my hd2 and it was super fast, I really just wanted the hardware upgrades the sensation brings and that's about it
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
should be faster once the bast**ds at HTC unlock our bootloader and we root and O/C the kernal
[HTC Sensation] sly5789:
Just got mine today and little disappointed at the wallpaper not being able to scroll when scrolling to next window. Don't like useless apps that are pre installed. Limited to customizing it the way I want it. I enjoy my rooted HD2 very much but since its in the shop getting the cracked/broken lcd glass fixed, I needed something now. I will give it 2 weeks and if HTC won't unlock it, I will probably return it and get my money back. By then my HD2 should be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] abowmedia:
I'm getting the phone next week. T-Mobile screwed up my return on the g2x so I had no choice but to have it mailed. Fortunately I got a bunch of discounts on the phone and they lowered my service rate as a result of all the confusion.

All that aside I really hope this is the phone I can stick with (until the next nexus at least). I've already returned a mytouch4g and 4 g2xs (Went through 21 other g2x boxes before giving up... screen bleed). I'm a bit anal about these things.

One thing I did notice when looking at the demo unit in the store is that Launcher Pro runs bad... REALLY bad. The app tray in particular would chug worst than my wife's mytouch 3g. I didn't have a chance to uninstall Launcher Pro to make sure the stock runs smooth, so I hope I didn't make a mistake picking this up. I don't use Launcher Pro now so it's not affecting me much.

Overall the phone felt great in my hand. It wasn't too much of a size difference from the Nexus One at least in terms of how it felt. The screen looked pretty f'n good for something that's not AMOLED. Everything was super sharp. Naturally blacks weren't as black, everything looked desaturated... but hey, that's LCD, they all do that. If you're coming from a crap phone, this one will be dream, if your phones already good, you might be underwhelmed.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
YES!! I'm keeping mine..way too cool than my DHD..lol :D:D

Nope, already did the test, no dead pixels or wifi problem :D:D
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
nice hope you enjoy it, miss being able to customise it like my DHD, which i still have, but its way better !, love the QHD dont you. makes my dhd look crap
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Yup coming from hd2, qhd is beautiful .
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
Excited, just bought one! I couldn't decide between this and the S2, in fact, I bought the S2 also today, until someone here noticed I was on Tmobile and commented on it. I looked again, and DUH! The S2 won't work on tmobile 3g! I was able to cancel the order in time.

I am coming from a Nexus One, and I KNEW I would hate the plasticky-ness of the S2... I was tempted and mesmerized by the benchmark of the S2. But really happy with this choice, as the Sensation is much sexier, IMO!

Should get it tomorrow... I'm way to impatient to not choose next day shipping!
[HTC Sensation] JeffR714:
Got mine over the weekend and will keep for now I think its an excellent device I have to say the only problem I have is the most obvious and that's the bootloader
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
This is the sexiest phone I've ever used. It looks so professional and clean. Coming from a Nexus S, the build quality makes a huge difference.

I'm loving Sense 3.0. You get so much functionality from the widgets and all the other goodies packed in. I'm having no issue with performance at all.

My only complaint is that the speaker grill is subpar, not as good as the Nexus S. Calls don't sound good at all.

This phone is definitely a keeper.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Yes, you are defnitely right!! I sold my LGO2X due to its crap build quality and interface UI. I just use it for 1 month and already get board and go back to my old DHD which have a good UI sense and it build quality is awesome!!..Now sensation!! more awesome..lol :D:D
[HTC Sensation] Utorrent76:
Loving it so far. Only real gripe with the phone is the speaker volume. Could be much louder.

Sent from my HTC Feeling.
[HTC Sensation] eXelero:
have it for 3 days now and very happy with it. can't wait to be rooted, finally, though.

after 3 days I concluded that it does kinda everything that the N1 was doing, but much smoother/faster/better(especially the multimedia part).
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
I just got mine as part of the Father's Day special last Saturday. Mine is an early build date (5/24 on the box), but so far the screen looks great, no dust under the screen, no freezing or random reboot issues. One issue where I added a contact and it wanted to use internet calling exclusively, but that was probably my screwup. Got it resolved in a few minutes. Other than that, this phone is great!
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
How much did you ended up paying if you dont mind my asking ?

Great phone, definitely gonna keep it :cool:

[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
I’m coming from an EVO 4G rooted with MikG Sense 2.1. I Picked up my Sensation on 6/17 from Costco. Cost was $225 out the door with a new 2 year contract. I do have to say, I was expecting a bit more of a speed boost. Then I forgot my Evo was running on an optimized rom. After playing with the Sensation for a couple of days, I can now say I do recognize how much faster the phone is. Once this thing gets rooted it will get even faster, so I am very happy about that. The bloatware is annoying, but that’s not the fault of the phone.

Compared to my EVO the Sensation feels much better in the hand. For having the same size screen as the EVO it feels much smaller. I think the pictures / video are much nicer too. I have a four year old daughter so having an improved camera is a welcomed upgrade. The battery blows away the EVO. I can’t believe how long this thing lasts off one charge.

I was going to go with the Evo 3D when it came out, but after reading some reviews I decided with the Sensation. I think the 3D is more of a gimmick than an useful upgrade. They also said the battery performance didn’t improve and the kicker…….they said the video and camera was a down grade from the original EVO.

As far as issues that everyone is mentioning, I haven’t had any of them yet. Phone has been perfect, but of course that could change day to day from what I’m readying.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
3 month already pass since I own this beast!! Its become even better and great after update to 2.3.4!! haha..couldnt wait for the 3.5 update if possible ^^,

This had made me even better want to keep this babe!!
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I have to admit, when I first got the phone I was not impressed. In side by side tests with my MyTouch 4G, the MyTouch seemed to be much more responsive. And I was having issues with my touch screen being unresponsive on the Sensation as well.

However, after rooting it and trying a few custom roms as well as different launchers, I've found that this phone OCed and Go Launcher ex as the go to launcher, this thing is the fastest phone I have ever used.

I am a happy camper now and will be keeping this for a long time hopefully.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
I take back my vote.

I dont want to keep my sensation anymore.

Its because, I just upgrade mine intoooooooo....SENSATION XE!!! \o/

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
Well here it goes.. yeah im a noob to somehow have accomplished this, i have semi brickedmy phone, the internal flash on my phone got completely wiped, /boot /misc /system /data etc... all gone, just one big 8GB partition, cant restore any roms or backups, any ideas? help?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Can you install a new ROM through recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
nope cant flash anything since the partitions are gone there is nowhere to flash anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
update: so i have recreated mmcblk0p1 -> mmcblk0p8 - was able to flash the stock rom, and mount all the partitions but still phone boots straight to recovery... im guessing it has to do with some of the partitions not being recovered with a backup like /misc anyone have any idea?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
When you do a factory reset - besides wiping, it sets up the partitions even if there is not a ROM installed. Do that and try to boot up after that.

If it does not start up, then try flashing the ROM again.

If that does not work, I think there is a firmware file in the Dev. section that I believe has everything. Carefully follow the OP directions if you go there.

Hi there!

Yesterday I installed YukiXDA's v3 and everything went fine. Fantastic ROM.

Today, when the battery was empty, I plugged in the cable and the indicator showed loading. but after 2 hours the battery-symbol stayed empty, and as I unplugged the cable, the message showed up that battery is still empty and the phone switched off. Tried this several times ...

Any hints about that?
