[HTC Sensation] torumsie:
It'll be interesting to see how everything ends up after the dust settles, especially since Sense 4.0 is supposed to be more minimalistic than previous Sense versions.

So far the 3.6 ports have shown a very large improvement in performance, but that could easily be attributed to being layered over ICS, so if 4.0 is even more minimalistic I can't see a reason why Sense 4.0 wouldn't be officially brought to the Sensation.

The only thing I could have seen may have had to do with screen resolution, but the Sensation resolution of 540x960 exceeds the HTC One V (480x800), equals the HTC One S (540x960), but is less than the HTC One X (1280x720).

Now the Sensation does use a qHD screen whereas the One S has a Super AMOLED and both the One V and One X have SLCD2 screens, One X being HD 720..... Maybe that has something to do with it, but I don't know.

All of it could be just some marketing drama kicked up to promote the HTC One line of phones until they have made their mark, thus allowing them to feel they can them push Sense 4.0 to an "older" generation of phones. Or it could have something to do with the new Dropbox integration and the 50GB of space that will supposedly come automatically with the Sense 4.0 interface....

At this point, who knows...
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
First of all, that's just wrong. Second, understand that absolutely no one can resize Sense 4 APKs besides us right now. Our team wrote the tools and we haven't released them publicly. So if you're thinking we kanged anything, ask yourself where any Sense 4 apps which fit on your Sensation's screen came from. It's rhetorical because every single one of them is from us.

Even if you were to believe we stole any work from him, consider the irony of the fact that his entire ROM contains APKs *we resized* because no one else can. You don't see us screaming "KANG". We expect it and don't really care at this point. Just don't call us the ones kanging when we produce as much or more original content than/as anyone else.
[HTC Sensation] raginmonkey:
Seeing as how the htc 4g sensation has a 1.5 not a 1.2, it is set to 1.2 by htc rather than its full capacity, the 4g can run the system just fine.
[HTC Sensation] cocoman93:
i also think that htc will roll out sense 4.0 after heavily optmizing it. they can't do this to us... well then again there will surely be custom roms with sense 4.0
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I'm not going to defend that idiot, Trip, but you can't say no one else but you guys can resize those APKs without offering some sort of proof that literally only you guys have the tools. It's possible, though improbable, that Trip has tools to do it as well, maybe not the same ones, but it's possible.
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
What have you got against Trip?
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
That has nothing to do with it...
[HTC Sensation] Flemmard:
Well the only reason we can say that WE only can resize, because WE (Diamondback and me) have written the tools, WE only have the code, WE made all the work to decrypt how the m10 are made, i don't know what you need as a proof except that WE made the tools ..

If some other people has made such tools, i think we know already that.

If you find other tools, compatible with Sense4, let us know :)
[HTC Sensation] shiningarmor:
htc will bring hardware incompatibility into the picture . actually it's all bullshiat. it's all about marketing. like a few posts above stated

eventually it will come
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I believe you missed my point.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I just read through all 96 post in this thread and to be honest The Scotsman and efebe was the only ones that really made any posts that were really worth reading.

Like The Scotsman said HTC owes us nothing but to uphold the warranty on our device when we purchase it. If it malfunctions or just does not live up to the stated capabilities that HTC has stated the device has. Then they owe us as replacement device or at the least a option to get a referent device. HTC is in it for the money and not any kind of prestige or popularity contest. Yes the want their product to be popular so that HTC can make money buy selling a lot of their products. But at the same time they also want people to have a reason to want to buy their new products so they can continue to make money. It is just business.

Also like efebe said.

My first smartphone was the HTC HD2 and yes I know it was a vert exceptional device. But still it shows just what can be achieved when people want something bad enough. It also shows how big business and big money is not out for the consumer.

Now with all that said let me say there is power in the masses. So if all of you out there really want an official Sense 4.0 from HTC on the Sensation line of devices. Then I say band together and voice your opinion to HTC directly. Me personally I am tickled to death that I know I will soon be getting the official OTA for ICS and Sense 3.6. I also say if you are not happy with the situation then learn to code and compile and do something about it yourself.
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
I don't know why the heck this thread was started in the first place? who the feck said htc sensation will not recieve sense 4,

as T-Macgnolia stated already, the HD2 (of which i owned prior to the sensation) wasn't supposed to do android, ubuntu, wp7, etc. yet it did.

This thread should be shut down
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
We're talking about the official update of Sense 4
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Myself, I am slightly annoyed we aren't getting 4.0 sense

But on the bright side, think about the SGS2. It's 4.0.3 upgrade still has it on touchwiz 4....

Anyway luckily most of us use custom ROMs.

You can get a good port from the One S.

And, for DhD, incredible s, desire s, we can get a good One V port if we want Sense 4
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Ok I'm a little angry now

http://androidcommunity.com/htc-viv...and-beats-audio-in-the-coming-weeks-20120305/

Is this true? Vivid is getting Sense 4.0 but we are stuck with 3.6 or its just the article that got it wrong???
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Doesn't necessarily mean sense 4.0 there. They are assuming that beats equals sense 4.0....could be just sense 3.6 with beats....ya never know till the leaks are out...
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Agreed.

'Update Sense experience' could just mean 3.6
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I qouted all three post cause this is pretty much in response to all three post. What we all should be upset about is not getting the Beats Audio in the official update. I absolutely loved the Beats Audio when I was using the ARHD ROM. When I plugged my phone into any external speaker be it my computer sound system, my surround sound system, my car stereo, or my buddies huge expensive house shaking house stereo lol. I could very notable tell a difference in the sound quality instantly when I would turn the Beats Audio on or off. Plus I have always held a personal grudge against HTC because the Sensation XE with Beats Audio and running at 1.5 GHz was announced exactly one week after I got my Sensation 4G.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Indeed , its not fair, I mean Vivid is the same as Sensation except for the amount of RAM , even cpu runs at 1.2 why would it get Beats officially? .

I personally dont like red colour so I wouldn't buy XE anyways .That doesnt mean I dont want enhanced audio on my phone :(
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Maybe the carrier paid for it to be added?? I'd think the licensing of having beats added as a feature Costs HTC more...
[HTC Sensation] nech.q:
Dont really mind, ill flash it in anyway
[HTC Sensation] qpqpqp:
Software enhancement is a premium value in the android world. I THINK they might have to pay extra for that, but i believe they should still do it cause it bring up the value of their phones. It might not reflect directly in sales right now, but people who have a good experience will always come back when their contract end in 2 years.
[HTC Sensation] townay:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think when HTC came out with Sensation, they havent actually acquired the shares from Beats right? Which was why the moment they got the Beats, they came out with the XE immediately. Although they could have pushed Beats eq through OTA for the Sensation but that'll just kill the sales of XE :p
[HTC Sensation] Djos1475:
You've never had a WP7 phone have you?

I had one for a month and it was frikkin horrid, made my boss buy me a droid Phone (Sensation) - personally I like my wife's iPhone 4s better but at HP Aus you can only have phones made by HTC (at least VI 3.5 makes Android bearable!).
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Two words. Personal. Preference.
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Sense 4 is 10x faster than 3.5 on gingerbread.... Amazing!
[HTC Sensation] drunkdrunk:
our devs will surely provide sense 4 to us
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
**** htc, we are on xda, we ported everything on every phone, we will port the sense 4 and htc CEO's wife too on our sensation :cool:
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Mike1986 said there WILL be Sense 4.0 (not ported) for the Sensation. End of story.
[HTC Sensation] Hunt3r.j2:
I guarantee it will see it. HTC said the Desire HD wouldn't get Sense 3.0 because it didn't have the hardware to run it.

Funny how there's this interesting ROM that they have as the latest OS version on the international Desire HD, and how it has a Sense version that starts with the number 3.... :D
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
This must be a joke...Who would ever believe that the S3 paired with 700MB RAM can't run Sense 4!? I mean seriously who are they trying to fool, since this really makes them look bad. And I thought the Sensation was their flagship phone w/ the XE, and all of a sudden they want to ditch it.
[HTC Sensation] akbisw:
Theres already a new KING the One S and One X! personally I will skip this gen and wait for whatevers next!
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I agree the no upgrading the memory via removable micro SD card is a huge deal breaker for me. I love being able to use my device as a Mass storage device and will soon be buying me a 32 GB mico SD card and letting my girlfriend have my 16 GB micro SD card that I got with my HD2 when I bought it and I am currently using in my Sensation.

Side note: My 16 GB has been a awesome SD card. I have used it to save movies on, music, pictures, run WP7 on my HD2, run SD Android on my HD2, flash what has to be at least 150 or so ROMs in my HD2 and Sensation, and install countless apps for Windows Mobile and Android. Not to mention the amount of times I used it to flash test ROMs when I was trying to help port the ICS SDK to the Sensation. The micro SD card is a very useful and handy thing to have in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] nb2385:
Agreed. Been reading on his stuff for a while and he knows what's up.
[HTC Sensation] ngc604:
Saw this same type of thread on the Eris and the G2 forums. All *****y because HTC is not going to upgrade the system on their phone. Quit *****ing. When was the last time microsoft gave you a free upgrade for you computer? when was the last time apple gave you a free upgrade for your computer? They haven't! You should be happy we are even going to see ICS on this phone.

HTC knows there are people porting stuff for their phones. Why on earth they even spend money to upgrading released phones is beyond me. People who dont care about the upgrade are happy and will use the phone for a year and a half and ***** about it for the last six months of their contract. Then buy a new phone and repeat the cycle. People who care about the upgrade are highly likely to root their phone and run a custom rom that someone did all the work on for FREE. No money out on HTC's part for that. Put me in charge of any of HTC and that would be one thing i would implement. But I would release just enough source to make my current customers happy. One person hired to troll sites like these just to check what the people are *****ing about and but I wouldn't budget money for this device nor any other device that is already out.

You should buy the phone for what it can do NOW.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I stopped reading after the first couple of posts, and just had to say this before leaving this thread forever.

Cry moar, babiii~

Seriously, you know its getting ported, just sit there and wait. Or learn to code and do something about it. Juss sayin'.

@ ngc604 , well said. I struggle to understand why some people just expect htc to give us the likes of sense 4 on our phones. I wonder if Samsung will upgrade my TV seeing as a newer version than mine is out, I wonder if fiat will upgrade my car or how about sony and my ps3 when the next one comes out......it's called business folks. just be thankfull were getting ics because they most certainly didn't have to do that.......

[LG Optimus 2x] Siknett-515:
I will try to explain myself, im having problems specially

with the network and the root, i did a root to my phone,

installed the busybox software to use an app (which i cant

remember the name) which app at the end never did what i

wanted it to for. I believe the problem started after for

some stupid reason i decided to ignore the warning message

when i uninstalled the busybox and after i restarted the phone

it never connected to the service provider network. After a

bunch of reclaims to my service provider without a solution,

i decided to put my SIM Card into another device which worked

normally, so i did a hard reset to my phone to check if it

would solve the problem, but it made it worst. Now it tells me

its rooted, but when i try to use an app it shows up

the superuser message, and when i accept it the app says i dont

have a permission from the superuser.

When i try to root it or unroot it using superoneclick the app

shows an error and i cant execute it. And including the

network problems with my service provider now the wifi doesnt

connect with the Automatic IP, it means i need to set

manually the IP.

PLEASE HELP!!!:(
[LG Optimus 2x] Cayman.n2o:
Not much of a expert, but first thing I would do is to try to flash it with some other rom, maybe some stock one, or unrooted.
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
Do you have CWM installed? If so, there is an option in there to 'fix permissions'.

If not, there is an ADB script that likely needs to be run on your device.
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
If all else fails. Search Nv flash. Its a total phone restore .

Yor first problem is (not to bash apple, they make good products, I'm just not a big fan. That's all) your using a MAC. They are not comparable with Android because they will not release the driver software to Google. Your best bet is to use a PC and do what I did. Easy as pie too.

1) Get the RUU file to downgrade to 2.2 Froyo and run it. You will be down graded to 2.2. ( Opposite of what your trying to do, I know. But it has a silver lining).

2) Download Unrevoked and run it and bam, your rooted.

Flash whatever tom you desire. You can then "update" (flash a gingbtead rom) and your back to 2.3.5 AND rooted.

Very easy process that are just about fail proof and they do EVERYTHING for you.

Hope that helped.

yes,,i agree with lanjor..

if flashtool say the phone connected,,means the phone usb is attached to comp..

but it doesnt mean that the phone is on..

if the phone off,,flashtool also say device connected too..

oke,,its not the answer for mkayik's question..

so ill cut it off..

its ur answer,,mkayik!!

jus make emphasizen that:

open the flashtool first,,dont attach ur usb to phone..

flash

now,,flashtool say to attach ur phone..

turn off ur phone,,then pres back button when u attached usb

wait till flashtool recognize ur device..

release the back button..

n its done!!

when u success flash nAa kernel,,it will be 1 recovery: CWM..
