i would love to have the amaze lol, but its too expensive for my imo.

quad core on a phone is such a gimmick.. WP7 runs butter smooth on a SINGLE core, google needs to start optimizing software and not relying completely on hardware lol. 512mb should even be enough for a phone. the specs sound awesome but imagine the battery-life xD its rather pointless.

back on subject, i just ordered a sensation from ebay for $270. coming from a atrix, hoping i like it. ive always been a sense fan, havent used it since the mytouch 4g though.
[HTC Sensation] Jump1ng:
I went from the Wildfire to the Sensation its like night and day! I'm well pleased with my sensy it just works nice and fast no lag in doing anything like on the wildfire.

Installed EddyOS 3.5 sense ROM which made it even better.

Once ICS comes im sure it will run even smoother as its more optimized code.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
What is the point of this thread. Your just having a moan about everyones hard work and some invalid issues that dont exist anymore.

I get up to 2 days on my ROMs, I have no touch issues. And there are tones of great RONs to choose from... Maybe just move on to something else already instead if just starting totally pointless insulting threads.

We all work very hard for everyone to have good ROMs. Maybe go back to the wildfire already ;)
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Hahaha what, mine's charging on USB on the desk in front of me.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
While I mildly TLDR'd on the OP because it seems a bit rant-ish, I would say that I am personally disappointed in the Sensation. To be honest, it was an under-spec'd top of the line phone when it came out and of course still is to an even greater extent now. I dislike how much HTC failed at optimizing Sense for the Sensation, because I really like Sense but can't get over how laggy and buggy it is no matter what ROM I use. I dislike the speaker, it is absolutely horrible by any standards. Don't like LCD screen tech because of the fact that it isn't as efficient as SAMOLED+ and also is not nearly as bright. Battery life is average. Internal memory is way too low, and RAM should have been 1GB.

The Sensation is a decent phone if you prioritize looks, build, and UI over everything else. Not if you prioritize performance or balls-to-the-walls specs.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
No offence man but I don't know what you running miui on but maybe it's vacuum cleaner or something because for sure it is not htc sensation. Check their topic on XDA, few last pages, many people does complaint loosing network signal, wifi signal, rebooting and that is what I experienced as well, as of speed I must admit it is awesome on miui, whenever I am complaining about speed I am talking about stock ROM as I found it decent on Coredroid and outstanding on miui, sorry about that misunderstanding. And yes in terms of bugs it is a joke if you cannot use wifi and data plan then you actually missing out on point of having smartphone, actually without network signal you can not even make a call, so what is it ebook reader ? This is simply too much, except that graphically, in terms of functionality, speed, integration, design it is the best ROM i have ever seen, simply version for Sensation is to buggy to use it.

With battery issues some people on forum claiming 48 h.... If you are heavy user you will not reach it on stock battery and stock rom no chance! If you are light user then obviously you have much different expectations from your phone however for me it is important issue, and there is again hundreds of topics about it so not worth discussing here again, use search again.

USB bug is not that important, try non official usb cable to charge your phone while reading ebook and listening to music or using gps, simply it will keep on draining battery more then it is charging! You can again use search option to read more.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
I don't know what is your problem with my topic? Don't I have right to ave my own opinion and share it? Which part do you find insulting, that I pointed exactly what bugs are there in some of the ROM-s and make them unusable?

Point of this topic is simple, is to warn people that before they spend their money they can have device which will be as good or better in terms of battery live, speed and ROM-choices then this one for half price.

I am happy for you that you don't have any issues with it but you are another person which can not use search option or decided to ignore it because topics on some of the bugs I mentioned (battery life, touchscreen) have hundreds of answers. Also I am happy that your battery last that long but some of use like to use our phones, not just keep them in our pocket enjoying how long they last.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
This thread would simply give people a wrong perception of the phone. And dont talk to me about using the search mate i use average 3 hours screen time on mine as I AM DEVELOPING DAYLY On it.

Nevermind. Just another pointlsss moan. You could solve all your issues by doing a search yourself and fixing it.

Anyway no point in arguing about it, its just not a valid argument and i think most people will tell you that.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
Wrong perception ? What do you mean wrong, this is my perception on it an as far as I see 90% have different so it is pretty good threat to compare it, simply I mention what did I expected from sensation, why my expectations are not fulfilled and everybody else have right to say what they think.

I am using search all the time, I searched for every single issue I had, as for most of them I found solutions (using original usb cable, or sticky thread for fixing touchscreen) and as you can see from number of ROM-s that I installed I am looking for upgrading my battery life however I don't think that for that price I should do any single of those things! Phone for that price suppose to work without massive problems on stock ROM as my previous HTC devices did! And it's not and it is disappointing, and if I am 3 ROM-s away from beginning of that journey that means simply it is not that obvious solving it a specially battery life without sacrificing functionality and without looking into sense which I detest.

Yes no point to argue, I presented my opinion you attacked me, I am happy to hear which ROM are you using, how long battery last and how you solved any issues that you had, because I clearly wrote what I have done so far, what issues I have and what I don to solve it and as you can see what I have done is lots of effort with ridiculous results. Do we seriously all have to like macdonald just because most of people like it? Well I don't like my sensation and I am 2-3 ROM-s away from selling it, simple as that!!!
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Download IC 3.3.0, clear battery stats, STICK with it for a week minimum, rebuild stats by doing full charge/discharge cycle and report back. Stock kernel. You will be impressed.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
The problem is people like Baanewz, mike1986, capy, myself and everyone else works hard as to make roms that ARE way better than stock and for you to come along and say their work is nothing (AOSP you where talking about) and not being any better than stock is rubbish and disrespectfull.
[HTC Sensation] PanCubano:
It is just you. You are nit-picking at tiny little nick nack issue's claiming that the phone is a "disaster" because of it. You sound like a Negative Nancy.

You should venture over to the myTouch 3G Slide Dev forums and give it a look. If you think that we dont have much variety when it come's to roms, then I should make you use a Moto Cliq or the myTouch 3G slide for a month. You'll definitely get a taste at what it feels like to have no variety.

If you want to sell your phone and get rid of it for something else, then go ahead.

You'd be better off somewhere else in my opinion.

You should learn to appreciate what you have and who dev's for our phones. A lot of people don't now-a-days. Waaaay too spoiled.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
I did not test your ROM mate, I clearly mention which I tested, did not meant to upset you, I do appreciate developers hard work, I mention that sense ROM-s are not much better then stock as I hate sense and have full right to hate it, I do love CM7 and which does not exist or are unavailable, I love MIUI and I was severely disappointed with bugs that occurred making it unusable on sensation. Any of this was not directed against developers or developing ROM-s and as far as I know most of them do like to know what bugs have been found on their ROM-s and I clearly mention which occurred. Simply form my viewpoint for that price this phone is rubbish and nothing that I tried did not impact it enough to change my mind. I am again very sorry if you understand it as attack on your ROM or anyone handwork, even MIUI which I found unusable is awesome masterpiece which I love it is just not possible to stick to it with that amount of bugs. I tried few ROM-s on Desire and WIldfire and I was very happy with them and appreciated work people done, simply sensation is terrible and ROM-s that I tried did not changed it enough to make me change my mind. I hope I am clear about, at any point did not meant to offend you, simply wanted to share my opinion to warn potential users that if battery live is important for them and good choice of developed ROMs then Sensation is bad option, and I still see it that way.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
Just downloaded Hypersensation and I am flashing it now. Will stick to it for about a week ( I always clear battery stats) unless bugs will force me do give up like it happened with MIUI if so then I will test IC (sense again but fair enough will give it a try). Thanks for advice.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
You shouldnt always wipe battery stats by the way it makes it worse. Just do it once and leave it
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
I always thought that I should do battery calibration after flashing new ROM, but ok I will fallow your advice and won't do it this time.

Hypersensation looks just like my favourite CM7, time for testing will let you know soon did battery improved. I did not bought Anker because people claiming 20% live more, If I get 8 -12 h 20% is useless I need at least 16 h minimum.
[HTC Sensation] alphawolf36:
If battery life is such a huge deal for you, why did you buy one of the biggest screen, heavy tech phones out??? That is like requesting a hybrid jet fighter. If you want to drive a supercar like a lambo, you have to accept that it will burn more gas.

And i have to say, I have tried many roms, and all seem to be ok with battery. I say only ok cause i choose to have it overclocked more then most. But that is the beauty of rooting. If i know i need my phone to last longer, i just lower the clock speeds. Having options like those totally warrant rooting in my eyes.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
what does fallow mean?

im with the person above me, my atrix had a 19xxmh battery and i could barley get a full day with it just for texting and wifi use. android phones simply suck with battery life, get WP7 or a bigger battery
[HTC Sensation] kevinliu2336:
Android phones only use more power due to the fact that they can run multiple background tasks from 3rd party apps. With Windows phone, only some apps have that functionality enabled while android can run almost any app in the background, thus eating up your battery. It is up to the user to keep battery hungry apps from running in the background. Also high end Android phones have higher specs than WP7 phones and thus need more battery. On average i can get 2 days out of 1 charge with light use and 1 full day of normal to heavy use with my 1900mah Anker.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
That is fair point. I assumed that every phone should survive 16 hours which is not true for sensation, I should do more research in fact. It is my 1sr day on new rom and 7 hours with 40% left, that is best result so far. I have a tiny hope that after 5-7days full cycles it might reach 14 hours and then changing to anker battery might have sense. Also so far I encounter no bugs and it is I think even faster then on miui. But first 7 hours are usually light use for me as I am at uni, now I'm at work so I will use it heavily. We will see so far so good.
[HTC Sensation] cmurda82:
All I can say is LOL you are hilarious dude. I have owned this device since it's release and it is one of the best phones on the market. Clearly you don't know what you are doing if you think that rooting this device is pointless...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
Oh I'm sure you have so much secret knowledge that made your device so much functional then my one after rooting. Please share it...... not.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
74% of your poll seems to agree that the sensation is a great phone. so as previously stated YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING...
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
Billion flies can't be wrong.....

22% left after approximately 9hours.

Edit: that is exceptional result for me after just changing rom and not going through all cycles. But still people who claim 2days are either light users or my battery is faulty.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
You really should consider changing your tone a bit...

Battery life is all about the user... My phone survives a work day easy. Means: Unplug at 8 AM, Music on the way to work (~20 Minutes), a little use while on break... when I leave at 18 PM I normaly have around 70% left, then some calls on the way home and some surfing when I´m at home. So one charge gives me 14 hours (3 hours screen on).

I archieved those results on almost every Rom I testet (which are a lot, including cm7).
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
I

What you writing sounds realistic to me, because claiming 2 days on heavy use means people who write it don't know what heavy use means. I would probably get 13 hours on similar use to yours. My problem is that I'm leaving home at approximately 9 am and I'm not back there till midnight that means I need 16h and I am using my phone much more then you mention it. So it is unlikely to be achievable on stock battery (12% now 9.5h approximately) . I answer with similar attitude as I get answered, so if you are polite I am aswell, if someone is claiming that I don't know what I'm doing because of poll result then he deserves answer in the same style.

Edit :4% left after almost 10 hours (short of 15 I guess it will make it) and that is the best result I achieved on any rom so far.... still far from satisfaction.
[HTC Sensation] fireishott:
Whoa easy killer, here is my battery and I use my phone all day unplug a 5am and here it is 22:06 and I am still browsing the web and reading thru your blasphemy I have used the great CdT Rom since rooting and right now I am using his reverted ASOP with whatever kernal and radio that it came with and stock battery with auto brightness I say try one of CdT's classics (don't get mad CdT) and u will see a whole new light
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
If you don't like the phone, get rid of it. There's really nothing productive that can come out of a thread like this as seen countless times.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
It's awesome! Take it or leave it...
[HTC Sensation] Dav3y001:
1st buy the anker battery its like 10usd or somthing I get 30% longer life on it than stock, average time on a single charge for me is 30 hours with an hour of.music 30 mins of YouTube 1 hour of calls and plenty of txts, facebook and emails. There is always a way to make the device better maybe try them first before having a childish rant.
[HTC Sensation] jriv:
12 hours of battery is awesome for a phone with w screen over 4 inches get a g1 if u want battery life stupid thread mods need to close this

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[HTC Sensation] itsomaryo:
How did you a replacement sensation for a vibrant?
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Not agree at all with OP. Just give a vote sensation is the best!!
[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
You should try Android Revolution HD too:). It kicks ass.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
I fixed touchscreen today with a foil as recommended in sticky. Some people suggest that this was also cause of battery drain, we will see.

I installed Hypersensation ROM and it looks awesome so far, will give it a try for at least 7-10 days. If I won't be happy with something I will try your recommendation. I will post my battery screens after today ( no point of doing it after yesterday, as it was gone in 9:35 minutes according to widget, and it was first day after flashing so it is still very good result) a specially that after battery was gone I fixed touchscreen so maybe it will improve battery as well. If I will reach 12 hours on heavy use I will give Anker battery a try as this ROM which I have now satisfy me, so far no bugs as on miui and even gpr tracking bug which I had on every CM7 rom is fixed so awesome work, at least that part of my problem solved!
[HTC Sensation] strabo100:
I have no issues with my sensation running ahrd 3.17 with faux kernal.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Hypersensation is a good choice! Had it running for some time and was really satisfied with speed and battery life.

You can easily underclock to 1,08 GHz! (should safe some battery).

I really hope you can begin to enjoy your phone, because in my opinion it is a great device :-)
[HTC Sensation] nDman.sk:
I love my Sensation, i will never sell or replace it.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
So far I do enjoy Hypersensation it reminds me using CM6 and CM7, it is fast reliable and very configurable.

I have underclock it today to 1.08 as it is recommended in Hypersensation thread for battery life, so thanks for that. As I previously mention I fixed touchscreen as some people connect this issue with battery drain. I will check for next few days, maybe I will also change synchronization schedule and install juice defender. Will give you screenshot with my battery stats today. We will see. Anyway with HYpersensation at least my main problem vanished I finally have decent ROM, maybe it is too early to tell but after 2 days with MIUI I knew already that some bugs making it unusable, nothing like that with this one so far.

EDIT: And now I should focus on fixing my bicycle (Giant CRS 3.0), and I have the same attitude towards it as with sensation, it should just work!!! Ehhhhhhh
[HTC Sensation] kkndgr:
I don't understand why some people consider sensation inferior underspected and buggy .I believe in my own experience its a excellent performer.I don't see anything disapointing about ,the period Denny was released ha only sg2 as a potential rivals and yes sg2 is abut faster in the benchs but who cares?install ARHD Rom if u like and problem solved.on top of that there are plenty of Roms out there for us to pick according to our needs and desires.it is true that most of them are sense based but I am sense fun so no problem for me and the there are the AOSP roms and miui no restrictions or lack of choice ,I don't get it when people say sensation is slow I don't see anything like that I have tried 5 different rims so far and I never felt the senny slowing down.as for miui I have it on my desire and is amazing tonight I wanna install it on my senny.

To the peple that calling joke the work of so many hard working developers .: you should be ashamed these people working hard to bring out the best experience we can have on our devices free of charge . Respect the developers please.
[HTC Sensation] anlygi:
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why someone who hates Sense so much would buy an HTC device?

It's kind of like buying a Mac and putting Windows on it instead of (not in addition to) OSX.

I love my Sensation especially with ARHD, aside from the battery life! I have an Anker battery but still bring the original battery fully charged on a long day out when I may use the phone a fair bit.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
If you think the Sensation is buggy, you should have purchased the G2X in the beginning. Every device I've used after that one feels like a dream. They should have just named that phone the "LG Bug"
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
This sentence does not make sense, It is like saying why would someone hating windows buy laptop with it? Simply it comes with it, but if you love linux you can still install it and see no reason why not to buy something because official software on it is rubbish, it is just software. Not to mention I do love android, just sense is kind of heavy, slow, and shiny piece of crap comparing to ALL custom ROM-s.

Anyway battery is gone again quickly (will post pictures tomorrow) , touchscreen bug is back (maybe I fixed it wrong or something, will try again tomorrow, it is charging now so because of bug I cannot post pictures ridiculous). After two days and 3 full cycles no improvement on the battery. Will buy anker battery today and if it will not help I will be selling it. I found excellent ROM so now I'm not so sure about it but bug is back and battery is still as bad as it was so it is either faulty battery or you guys who posting your battery stats are extremely light users comparing to me.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:


Is there anything more to add?

Bug is back (gone again after moving foil around, but seriously should I even do that?)

Battery after 3 full cycles (yesterday drained it over night and charged in the morning as I had time before work) is still terrible.

I got good ROM and yes battery is slightly better, phone works fast and at leas that is solved but it is not enough comparing to what I deal here with.

Again for that price I would expect better and less hassle.

Just bought to Anker batterys and a charger for £20 from Amazon as there was no other choice....

Again people who claim 2 days are either very light users comparing to me or my battery is faulty.

Edit2 not to mention it is underclocked now as recommended seriously there was nothing more left to do then buying two anker battery's and charger. I am dissatisfied with that phone, after all that effort. The only good thing is that I finally have rom that I really enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] norazi:
im using a sensation for 1 reason.. its the best android phone that supports tmobiles $5 tzones plan... you could give me an iphone4s or galaxy nexus and i wouldn't use it since i would have to give up my $55/mo plan
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Its seems your signal is using only gprs? Show in your picture. That would tell why your battery drain fast. Gprs required more power for data connection.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
Thanks for help but I am afraid it is unlikely to be a reason. Such a bad connection I have only when I'm at reception at work and this is maybe 1 hour a day. At uni, at home, and at work (everywhere except reception) I got wifi. The only time I'm not using wifi is that hour and when I'm cycling between those locations (again about 1h a day) so I think this is unlikely to be a reason. Also you can see here that 3g is activated so whenever it is available I'm using it. Anyway I already bought 2 extra batteries, if they will improve my phone life then excellent if not I will carry 3 batteries with me lol
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
What? Never heard that. UMTS uses more power than GPRS.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
it makes sense.. the reason why people who hate motoblur with a passion simply do not get a moto device. not everyone likes to root their phones, etc. and thats why people who hate phones with manufacture skins get nexus devices.
[HTC Sensation] leyus:
firstly i like to root my phone and second I bought it I knew I will root it. I actually checked is it rootable before I bought it. Don't like official software and that's it. Also in UK we don't have decent choice of nexus devices. So I see no reason why stock rom would stop me from improving my phone performance.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
When mine using UMTS, its less heat at bottom compare to GPRS which give higher heat. The lower frequency, the higher juice is required from battery to download through that frequency.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
+1..i like sense the way they are :)
[HTC Sensation] simp dogg:
Thank goodness I have the Thunderbolt. I did a quad test and still beat the dual core sensation.

Rooted Thunder
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You are both wrong. The most efficient frequency for battery is the one with stronger signal :p
