[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Here I am ^^

So, I own a Sensation, an HD2 with a really optimized Android on it, a Motorola Defy with stock rom but rooted and overclocked without killing the battery, and thanks to a friend, I can test what I want when I want on a DHD.

As I am Fpse Forum moderator, I also have feedback concerning Fpse performances for almost every Android device around.

So, here is what I know:

For emulators like Fpse, they use one core, the Sensation and GS2 give same results, or let's say the Sensation may sometimes be less stable in terms of Frames Per Seconds but can achieve same performances, despite its extra pixels to display, that's a very good point.

BUT the Sony Xplay can give slightly better results while it has the same tegra as the Sensation but a single core 1ghz. It seems sony uses very fast ram, this could be an explanation.

So now, let's do something more ressources demanding, and using both CPU + GPU: N64oid. I have similar results on my Sensation and HD2 or DHD. The most stable results are achieved by my Motorola Defy and its OMAP CPU (it has a very good CPU thus). Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time runs better on a DHD or the Defy, it's smoother than on the Sensation.

As for the unusable and unplayable NDSoid, the Sensation is slower than my HD2, slower than the Moto Defy.....why? I don't know at all.

For other games, I've just noticed so far that GT academy isn't smoother on the Sensation compared to the HD2, I mean not always 100% smooth.

That's for gaming only of course, since I definitly agree the Sensation kils all my other devices for web browsing, the only point for me where the dual core CPU seems to be really well used.

Just to be clear on that point: when I buy an HTC, I really don't care about what HTC officially says before the release, or I guess I would never have bought any HTC.

No, I mainly trust XDA power, that's not HTC that made the HD2 the best smartphone around for maybe 2 years, that's devs and cookers. If I had only read what HTC was saying before the release, I could have thought the HD2 would be stuck to WinMo 6.5, would never use its dual touch capacities but for pinch to zoom, would neber go over 1ghz, etc

I knew the bootloader would be locked on the Sensation, for sure, and so I knew this would deeply reduce its 3D competences out of the box.

But I was sincerly believing people at XDA would do what they always do: crack it asap.

Sadly, only after having bought this device, I discovered here that for the firts time, HTC had implemented a new kind of security nothing or almost would break. Look around here, no dev or almost is trying to do something for the bootloader since it's just not possible. Even XTC or goldcard fail (at least for 1.17.XXX HBOOT), despite people at XTC are definitly trying to make it work.

That's the whole story of my disappointment......this device is a very unusual HTC, the first for years without a mass of cookers and devs tweaking it as soon as it is out. For an old school HTC fan like me, it's something really new, something I have to deal with and to face.

For a new HTC fan, or someone comming from a DHD, unaware of what HTC was before Android existed, I can understand that all I'm saying here is just a piece of **** from an angry froggy :D
