So far I've only got

- screen protector (which was meant for PSP 3000, I liked the fit over the screen protector for our Senny since it had ridiculous curved cutoffs:mad:)

- Capdase soft jacket

+1 on hard to find accessories. :o

I want to get a dock and a spare battery and possibly a white back door. I'm planning to visit Greenhills by the 1st week of March. I'll keep you guys posted :)
[HTC Sensation] entengkhulet:

As in one that cooks roms? Not that I know of. As for customizations, I might try my hand at making one if those BIOS boot animations for our Sensation :D

Sent from my HTC Z715e
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
I might :D, if time permits once final version released as I got more priorities and imagine there are 44+ cooked ROM to choose :D
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Guys what's our stock RUU and stock CID? I'd like to keep a backup just in case the need arises.

Thanks in advanced :D
[HTC Sensation] jigners:
got mine here in the UK, last November and TBH disappointed with its performance:(:(

had a chance to compare it to a friend with a DHD and it really shocked me

considering the powerful hardware the Sensation has compared to the DHD.

here is a thread i created for this issue and a youtube video as evidence

now i got a DHD via ebay and has S-off and rooted this, and I am one happy

Android flasher.:):)

Ingat kayo lagi mga kababayan!
[HTC Sensation] entengkhulet:
thanks for the video kabayan.. im kinda disappointed after seeing that video.. :(

Cool! Will try out your rom if you decide to create one! :D
[HTC Sensation] musmos:
Hello everyone! This is my second sensation, I bought my first one month after the release and waited for around aug or september fo permaroot. My first daily driver was stock rooted htc sensation xe(custom rom) by EddyOs but was stolen in a bus a week before Christmas. My 2nd one is still a sensation not xe, bought at sm annex on the mid of january.

I tried a couple of ICS rom base 3.24 and my favorite so far is the DarkForest 5.3 by jonny. Astig! :D
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
Building the Kitchen sooner :D gathering materials needed.
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
3.32 apparently is gonna be the final release. There's no RUU yet but a flashable zip was already posted.

We'll be looking forward to your release. :D

sir, it just simple, dont compare high res to a low res.

wow!, so many kababayan here on XDA, for sure most of you are TCP member also, hehehe

Yay for Android!

I didn't buy my Sensation in the Philippines, but it's fantastic to see some Android users in the Philippines! When I visited in 2010, everyone I knew all had Blackberry or Nokia phones and nobody knew what Android was. Hahaha.

I was excited to peruse Greenhills' selection thinking I could buy some nice, cheap accessories for my myTouch 3G (at the time) and everyone looked at me strangely!
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Many people still own a BlackBerry around these parts. The people that only knew what Android was were those people (like us :P) who keep themselves constantly updated. Many people still have to be weaned off their Nokias because fact is, they've dominated the market here for years.
[HTC Sensation] arcbodom:
I got my Sensation XE bnew 3mos ago from an online seller (widget City) and im currently running KingsRom's Sense 4 ROM but i use Jonny's Darkforrest as my daily driver. i noticed that some here are also using Jonny's ROM. ;)

i don't know if there's a known filipino dev here at xda. im hoping to see one.:)
[HTC Sensation] ArtXT:
does anyone used baadz IC rom?, or dark rom is better?, eversince my desire, i used baadz rom
[HTC Sensation] yummymango:
What is the reason for that? Are Blackberry and Nokia phones just cheaper than Android phones?
[HTC Sensation] f4rell09:
ANybody can suggest a good ,fast, stable rom for sensation..,IS ARHD Any good?maraming salamat po..
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
DF is definitely 99% problem free for my phone :D, no FC what so ever. Using 5.3.0 now. Thinking twice to upgrade one of the 3.32 base ROM. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] alexverzosa:
Of the more popular ROMs I've tried, I always go back to ARHD. It's fast, stable, and devs offer great support. I just love how "vanilla" it is. If I want any mods, I'll be able to choose just those that I want. I'm currently on ARHD 6.3.1 XE, still waiting for the 3.32 base ROM for the XE.
[HTC Sensation] rdamontz:
got mine from HTC at Glorrieta last Nov 2011. rooted and current ROM is DF 5.5.
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
Good choice :D. btw kabayans, im practicing to cook our very own ROM and just waiting for 3.32 XE once came out. Was thinking of putting boot animated Phil Flag. :rolleyes:

PS: Im only doing this on my free time so no rush :p
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Smartphone penetration, while dramatically improved over the years, still isn't majority. People like BBM. Most of my friends already switched to BlackBerry just for BBM. I refused to join them if it isn't already obvious :p Nokia? It still has that rep that it's the brand.

begin rant-

Quite frankly IMO, PH isn't a good country to have a smartphone. Smartphones need data and the Telcos aren't taking 3G and mobile data seriously because 80% of their revenues are still derived from SMS/Text messaging. The NTC should really grow a pair and tell these telcos to provide decent service, else start stripping them of their respective mobile spectrums.

/rant
[HTC Sensation] yummymango:
I'm with you! I think I just like the Sense look, even though I used to favor the straight up vanilla Android experience. I'm running ARHD 6.5 at the moment and I'm loving it so far. There's a slight battery improvement for me, and the extra TMOUS boost for signal and data speeds helped a bit.

Thanks for the Filipino smartphone 101. I understand what you mean, as I've noticed that everything there was done through texting. My friends didn't rely so much on the internet as I do for information. (There were so many times when I wanted to Google something, but couldn't.) I'm not sure if any of them even had a data connection on their phones.

Even though they make most of their revenues from texting, do they still offer prepaid mobile data? If so, which company is the best in terms of mobile data? Next time I visit, I'd love to be able to actually use the Internet on my phone to keep up with friends & family at home.
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Yeah they do. I can't vouch for other operators but Globe offers a bearable experience. Everything ain't peachy but it ain't that bad either. :p

I'm currently on 50MB for 30days and I pay P99 (a little over $2). Ain't that big but this is what I chose since there's WiFi at home and at school. :D

PH can use a new operator that takes customer satisfaction and value for money seriously. With Digitel (Sun) being majority owned by MVP (Which also own PLDT, in turn Smart), we're back to that soul crushing monopoly. They weren't subjected to the microscope like the AT&T/T-MoUS deal :mad:
[HTC Sensation] arcbodom:
il be looking forward to that :D
[HTC Sensation] elajeras:
Great! I got my sensation July of last year. Just when i was about to get a DHD. Good thing i got some extra bucks in my pocket. So lovin this phone. Even the stock ROM. But when i rooted - freedom!

Using ARHD. the best! As i am still waiting (impatiently) for the official ICS update.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] yummymango:
Thanks! I already have an old Globe SIM from my last visit, but never knew that they offered mobile data as well. I'd imagine 50MB should be enough for emails here & there, and $2 for that seems like a really great deal.

Ugh, the AT&T/T-Mo deal was rubbish. I don't even know whose idea that was. Sometimes it makes me wonder if T-Mo excepted it to fail, therefore walking away with a great deal of money and spectrum. I left AT&T years ago for T-Mobile, and never looked back. I don't know where I would've gone had they merged.

Sent from XDA app
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Don't worry. The official RUU should be around the corner :p

Errr SIM cards expire but not to worry as they are relatively cheap... about $1 LOL. Perhaps T-Mo knew that the deal would be falling through. Anyway, they're $4B richer and some spectrum (which is even more valuable) so yeah

Had already a name for my ROM!

I live in Cebu but work in thailand at the mo I'm not a Filipino but my wife is and I love it there ... they do need to sort out data there as even in thailand its readily available and very fast and fairly cheap I used to pay around 400peso for 1gb of data per month using full speed , now my work pays for it hehehe my sensation should arrive next week I just want to use it for sense 4 , I'm also getting a Note to use ICS in tablet format but will proberly use stock + root until ics officially real eased for that one :-)

Same here, bought it from SG though, everything is cheaper there. 2-5k difference.

Come on man, dont wait for the official ICS. HTC stock roms are usually laggy and always restarts (loading screen) specially when you multi task.

Go ahead and s-off, root, flash the firmware and rom dude, its worth it. Everything will be superfast and more free ram.

As kababayan, I promise you, you wont regret it. :)

Sent from revolutionized HTC Sensation ICS
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
I couldn't agree more.

I agree with tohfhu, at first I was hesitant to flash too, probably the main reason is that it's my first Android phone(HTC Sensation XE, bought here in the Philippines), I bought this last November of 2011, it took me til like last Sunday to finally decide to install custom rom. I'm currently using ARHD 6.5.1. Everything is faster. I haven't experienced Sense crashes yet.

Though Kababayans I have a question. Like from a post earlier, I wan't to know our Stock CID and Ruu also... I can still remember its either asia or asia_wwe HTC__044 i think. But i'm not exactly sure. Just for reference in case I need to flash back to my original ROM.

Thanks.

rooted but wanted to get the ics update

hey guys,

i had my sensation xe few months back and after several weeks of using it with stock rom, i was itching to root.. fortunately, i was able to finish rooting just last night by following the guide in one of the threads here. so right now im on revolotionary s-off, clockworkmod 5.0.2 , I didnt do the SUPERCID thingy though

problem is after rooting i discovered that ICS update is already available here in Phils., i already downloaded the update but i believe it wont go through because im on s-off.

would anyone here help me how to get the ics update?

do i need to go back to s-on to have my ICS update run?, if so, do you have a simplier guide how to go back to s-on?

can i just do it using rom manager?

should i be successful in getting the ics update and would want to go back to flashing custom rom, do i need to do the steps again for s-off?

Question for those who applied the OTA ICS updata: Does your mobile network and /or wifi turn on by themselves sometimes? Thanks!

My wifi is set to be always on but mobile network is set to off. No glitches there for me, though I did a phone reset after installing OTA ICS last night just to be sure.
[HTC Sensation] eilu1183:
I didn't push through with the OTA, instead I switched from stock to Virtuous Inquisition. I felt that unrooting, going back to s-on and stock, updating and then getting s-off and rooting all over again takes too much time and effort. :p

I got mine last November. Came with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which later received Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, and now I'm happy to report that I've been officially on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich since the other day.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Android Revolution HD is awesome. There are Sense-less versions, too. And, recently, the dev provided a version for ICS + Sense 4.0 (ported from leaked RUU of HTC One V [or was it S? can't recall]).

InsertCoin and RCMix are also great.

As far as custom ROMs for the Sensation are concerned, we practically have a buffet.
[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
You can still do an ota update when you're s-off, the thing is, you rooted your phone. You will have some problems having ota when rooted.

I suggest go super cid and just flash the 3.32..... Firmware and go ahead and flash a custom rom. It will be tons better than the official htc update and rom.
