Hi,

I would like to know if there is a tuto to move to the European version ? Because I'm French, and I just have the language "English (India)" in the settings, and I want to have "French", and ICS.

In fact I don't want to root the phone, just have ICS on my phone, and the french language. Because you know that ICS is out in Europe.

Thanks, and sorry if I have a bad English
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
How patriotic of a Taiwanese phone manufacturer to promise ICS updates for Indian users of their Sensation series of smartphones after the American Independence Day!

Well, let the day come... better to have it as Jul 4th rather than Aug 15th, I guess... and who knows, it could be any day

after

Jul 4th, so once again, everyone is kept waiting. And guessing.
[HTC Sensation] jazzzzzzz:
Who cares their update..... I would thank them if they at least correct the spelling mistakes in the eu versions
[HTC Sensation] ivevyxexi:
Called up HTC earlier today, and they told me that the ICS update will be out after 15th of this month.

I have decided to stop waiting and root mine. Can someone confirm if my understanding of steps is right - use tacoroot to gain temporary root, then revolutionary.io tool to get S-OFF. Install Recovery and then I can install a custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] jazzzzzzz:
If installing ics rom flash 3.32 firmware after s off
[HTC Sensation] Rengak05:
Its July 2nd HTC's official timeline is done and dusted and yet there is no ICS on my Sensation XE.. :( Screwed...

Anyone got this official update in INDIA???

Cheers,

Renga
[HTC Sensation] msm93:
Its not worth waiting

Guyzz , I waited For the OTA update of ICS , but HTC India is Gonna Give us ICS with sense 3.6 ,whereas the new low end phone such as Desire C is getting sense 4.0 ... So I decided to flash a custom Rom Last Week which has ICS n Sense 4.0 for Sensation XE ... I dont think u should wait guyzz ... Its not worth it .. U can revert back to GB by flashing the correct RUU... also its better to flash Custom ICS now n wait for an Official ICS RUU For Indian Sensation XE (Just For Backup)...

Flashing Will void your warranty ...

Try it Guyzz, Happy Flashing..

the htc Europe team has rolled out a 68 mb update for ics fixes and we have not received out basic ics update this is full of crap from htc india!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
Going by HTCs email response to my query from a week ago:

I am going to be expecting nothing short of the best in terms of software after waiting this long... surely all that rigorous testing has to adhere to a timeframe... not sure if they just keep at it and release the update when they're done.

I'm a patient person, so I'm going to give it until the end of this month, and after that I'm going for the AOSP experience. Probably CM9.
[HTC Sensation] aniketd11:
Just contacted HTC folks... No update is coming to Sensation XE anytime before July End / August End. Yes, these are the timelines given by customer care rep. Donno.. what they mean by July End / August End. She was sayin that since update for XL is launched just now, HTC cannot launch update for any other device. Wiered...pathetic...unprofessional... let it... don't have anymore words for HTC
[HTC Sensation] coolsun85:
Customer Care reps in India don't have information about updates, and they will always give you a vague answer by mail and on voice call they say it will be out in a month so you don't call them for at least a month.
[HTC Sensation] kozav100:
Guys, I get no ICS update by today via OTA.

Using HTC Sensation.

Bastards these HTC jerkers.
[HTC Sensation] msm93:
No use waiting for OTA update ... flash an ICS rom with Sense 4.0 n stay happy ..

Its completely worth it.. :good:

Flashing will void ur warranty ..do it at ur own risk
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
I guess that's plain-speak for "We appreciate your business, but you're on your own now."

But - as I stated earlier, I'm giving it until the end of this month. After that, I'm going pure AOSP... I wouldnt want to have any of that Sense crap on my phone any longer than absolutely necessary.
[HTC Sensation] cooladityarai:
Hi guys.....

I was searching on the net about sensation, there i came to know that sensation that it is discontinued .....i also saw this on flipkart....it says this item has been permanently discontinued. That is really bad news for me, I was going to buy this device but now.....:(:(

Can anyone plz confirm is it still available or really discontinued....???
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
As expected...otherwise, the HTC One S wont sell...
[HTC Sensation] cooladityarai:
Oh yes......but i think they must discontinue xe coz its price is more nearer to one s. But whatever they did is really poor. I was confused between SGS2 and sensation and selected sensation because of price ( ie 22.5K while sgs2 at 26k ) and sense ui. Now one s is the option because really want sense ui after sensation but its beyond my pocket ( 32k ) and also xe is around 29 k.

Helll to HTC
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Sensation Xe is also stopped, HTC is considering Indian market as crap... The One S in India is very inferior to the international version.... The Indian version has the old Snapdragon S3 processor, while the international version has Snapdragon S4 and S4 is reported to give better perfomance than quad core Tegra 3...
[HTC Sensation] manpreetsj:
It is still available!! :D

Dude I bought HTC Sensation from Saholic.com last month..I just checked and it is still available on it for Rs. 22K. Candidly speaking I don't think there is any better deal available in market at that rate. One S is just a re-hashed model with a lil better specs at some points..rest is untouched in it in comparison to Sensation..

I'm liking my Sensation..Got 32Gigs sd card n a good in-ear phones..everything is set! ;) :D

Enjoy!!! :)
[HTC Sensation] cooladityarai:
Oh thanks man.....but it is also out of stock from saholic. And if its available ebay ....they are selling at higher price @ 30k.

Can anyone plz tell me from where i can buy it ???? I m from Bareilly Uttar pradesh . So plz anyone from near places like Delhi or Lucknow plz tell me.....:confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
I can give u mine for 20k, with box and 2 months warranty. Charger is not original. Let me know if u want it.

Its indonesian with ics update applied, always kept stock and rooted. Not to mention its s-off. No problems at all, 2 minor scratches on body.
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Btw i m from Bareilly too, currently staying at Mumbai. I can send the phone by courier to my home and my bro can hand ot over to you. And btw, i m also

giving an anker 1950 mah battery with the phone.
[HTC Sensation] manpreetsj:
Buy a new phone!!

HTC is a looter!! At present at same price Desire V is available, but specs wise its worth is of that of a 15K phone. Rather I should say all new phones of HTC are overpriced, be it One V or One S..I feel pity for you that u can't buy Sensation anymore (as of now) and also one suggestion, don't go for 2nd hand phones..Better go for alternative phones and buy a new one..!! No offense to anyone..!

I am tired .... Calling customer care .... Their replies are vague ... " sir you will know when you will get the update before we do " .... Or " you may get it in July or August " after all this HTC expects we buy their handsets
[HTC Sensation] diosys:
Buddy....install a custom ROM. I was myself afraid of this but took the plunge yesterday night and converted my normal sensation to a sensation xe with beats audio and full HD camera...

Do it buddy...get stuck anywhere ask the admins here...they are always standing by. Yesterday ganesh helped me within 5 min of my post
[HTC Sensation] dargamel:
What ROM do you recommend ?! Who is the best, bug free?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
If u need Sense 3.6, I would recommend Android Revolution HD ... its 99.9% bug free..

If u need sense 4.0, use ViperS ... I personally recommend this, the only bug now is the HDMI output not working... This rom also has OTA updates.. so its the coolest sense 4 rom..
[HTC Sensation] diosys:
I am using ARHD....The capability of the camera has substantially gone up due to Nodogt MOD. The battery is 25% better.
[HTC Sensation] Rengak05:
EVO 3D got ICS today .. One of my Friend got it its about 298 MB.. Still no luck for sensation XE in INDIA :(
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
I installed ARHD 6.6.7 with a stock HTC kernel and the 3.32.401.5 firmware. Works like a charm.

Before that, I tried out InsertCoin Evolution v2.2 which is a Sense 4 ROM... with the 3.33.401.6 firmware. Encountered frequent random reboots, so I switched to InsertCoin 6.0.0 which is a Sense 3.6 ROM. The random reboots continued and did not go away even after flashing the ARHD ROM. Eventually, I figured the firmware was the culprit, flashed the one mentioned initially in this post and havent had any problems since.

I'm going to try InsertCoin Evolution with the current firmware and see how it goes. I kinda liked Sense 4. ;)

Hmm... I really like the idea of OTA updates in a custom ROM. I might give ViperS ROM a try after all!
[HTC Sensation] manpreetsj:
Finally ICS is here!!! :D

Finally got the update from HTC!!!! Yipeeee...Will download it now... :D
[HTC Sensation] Rengak05:
Even i got it :) Finally XE has it..

Finally, the ICS update is available for Sensation now!!!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
guys try to save the OTA zip please

just after installation complete

try to copy the zip form /cache to /sdcard (use any file explorer to do that )
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
Okay, I see your signature has the Sensation in it, but want to confirm - you have a CID of HTC__038 and received the OTA update for this phone?

I'm asking because I want to be sure it's the Sensation and not the XE or another flavor.

And oh yes, could someone please upload the OTA file?
[HTC Sensation] sarkar_007:
Yes, it is HTC_038. I haven't downloaded the update as yet. But it is available.
[HTC Sensation] sham100:
ICS update for Sensation confirmed on Vodafone India in Mumbai
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
DAMN! Two days after I wiped my stock GB ROM and went for ARHD ICS ROM.

Well, this is good news, nevertheless. I'm sure someone will upload the OTA file and I'll go back to stock just to check it out.

The fun never ends. ;)

Issues Faced after ICS Update

1. Gallery & Music App does not show stuff in sd card.

Solution : Unmount the SD card and restart the phone, and try again if one reboot does not solve the problem.

2. Bluetooth keeps turning on itself.

Solution not found till yet.

But otherwise the phone is great, specially the speed has improved a lot.

The Font also looks great.
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Media items will come after media scanner service is finished doing its work.for first time, it runs for 30-50 mins in some cases.

Bluetooth issue is strange, was not there in european or SEA update.may be clearing out cache/hard reset will solve it.
[HTC Sensation] geojoshi:
One big difference i noticed just now is that i can read Hindi / Marathi SMS and Webpages!!!! which i could not do in pervious version...I don't know wheather this is just ICS or HTC Sense upgrade result...

I am facing problem with Internet Pass through (USB cable internet sharing from PC to Mobile)

Rest all things seems fine...speedy & responsive

* I did a factory reset through recovery after updating ICS, may be that has helped alot*
[HTC Sensation] deepsaha007:
ics provided by HTC is just a mem hog.. better root your mob and enjoy custom rom with so many new features..

previously i was afraid of rooting my mob but now i feel that i done it correctly and should have done it earlier .. :D
[HTC Sensation] manpreetsj:
Overall feel of the phone is good but I have noticed some lag...Like if u tap on something, it will take a lil extra time to respond..and that too sometimes...and if u restart the phone, it takes time to load all the apps..!! Anyway ICS it is finally.. Will get used to it..!! :)
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
@manpreetsj : That happens mostly when MediaDBMigrationService service is running in background under the Application name Media. Its a bug in ICS for HTC devices that this service crashes and restarts again and again hogging CPU and battery. It mostly happens for only those people who have Video or music files in 3rd party formats, i.e. formats not internally supported by hardware.

To resolve it, after 10-15 mins of restarting, just go to Settings>Apps>Running Services and look for an application called Media. Tap on it, there will be the aforementioned service running. Stop it and you are done.

Moreover, for European and SEA updates, the settings application hangs a little, this is being addressed in a separate update.

Once you connect to wi-fi, everything works fine. But once you disconnect, wi-fi keeps on starting again and again

[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
I can confirm this issue too.Browsing is working fine, browsing in Market is working fine, but downloads do not happen. Also, the screenshots and videos of the app also dont show up at all, Just Loading...... shows.

Have installed the update on a clean 2.3.4 flashed phone, have flushed cache, dalvik cache and everything using 4ext recovery.

This might be a real issue in this release. Or may be, the HTC Sync needs an update as the rndis driver is provided by HTC Sync only.
[HTC Sensation] manpreetsj:
Before getting ICS update I was just expecting a lot out of it. Most important thing that made me crave for it was the expectation of better RAM management and better optimization of APPS...Now after update I'm in a bitter-sweet state where I just feel that I was better off with GB afterall. Please anyone enlighten me with any information if you have regarding memory management in ICS cuz I end up wid 80mbs of free RAM only. User accessible memory is - 583 mbs..

Hope they release an update to solve the 'MEDIA' bug problem too.
[HTC Sensation] maxupload:
just got ICS update in India

i got update just now ...mobile is booting ....going to test ice cream sandwich.....
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
I didnt like the sense 3.6 interface one bit! It just looks too old and hides all the beauty (neon effects) of ICS.

I have switched over to Go Launcher for good! Installed Go launcher, Go weather, Go locker and Go manager. Its much more beautiful than sense. I see that there is more free memory on my phone than when it was on Sense.

Maybe you can try that.
[HTC Sensation] sarkar_007:
I was using Go Launcher when I was on Sense 3.0 but now I am on Sense 3.6 and wanna try it out for a few days. It does hog memory due to all that eye candy but it is beautiful.

Even I have approx 80mb-85mb of free RAM most times. And the phone seems a little slow for a few moments after it comes out of lock state. But it becomes smooth afterwards and I have no problems using any apps or games. Less free RAM is the price we have to pay for Sense eye candy. If its bugging you so much you could try any other launcher like Go, Apex, et al. You will immediately find more RAM is free than before.
[HTC Sensation] ibeqa:
I also have Indian ROM of ICS and I find it strange that you are left with 80mb of free space!!! I have 150mb of free space on my Sensation!

Now, after you installed ICS and considering that ICS did not erase our programs during upgrade, maybe you are stuck with a program that did not update before ICS (it is not optimized to work on ICS) and it's having difficulties working in those conditions? I mean, If we all have he same ROM, why it's not working the same on all devices?

I would say, do a backup of your data and try installing ICS again.
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
If you guys are having performance issues on stock ICS/Sense 3.6, hell even if you're not having issues, I'd strongly suggest running a custom ROM.

You get performance improvements, root access, better support than HTC and MUCH more timely updates. There are also plenty of themed ROMs available for those who are bored of stock Sense appearance.

And if you're willing to (or want to) get rid of Sense for performance, you can try an AOSP ROM.
[HTC Sensation] jazzzzzzz:
Any body rooted your phone after official update.?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Yes, I did, to extract some files, but I've already switched back to custom ROM.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with beats audio
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Yes I did. Immediately after it, using the same technique I have been using since I bought sensation. Installed Clockwork Recovery by flashing from fastboot mode, flashed latest superuser zip from androidsu.com/superuser, installed Busybox, installed latest 4Ext Touch recovery using its installer, done. No problems faced.

[HTC Sensation] nilanjan.gm:
Sensation is not going to get Jelly Bean.
[HTC Sensation] asylumdesire:
they gave ICS after six months do you expect it to come anytime soon
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
IMHO, before they give jellybean, they need to focus on giving out a performance update for their low level drivers, specially the 2D / 3D acceleration driver which sucks right now. 720 video playback is so choppy, it was buttery smooth on Gingerbread.

Just giving out on version after another is of not much use i think.

But ya, if the driver model has somehow changes again in JB, then they should immediately switch on it and provide a performance update later.

I wont mind if they release JB and one more performance update after that and then shut down updates for Sensation. Its the best this phone deserves. For Android 5.0, I would like to go with a new phone :) Thats just my personal opinion.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
On a 1.2x Hboot? No.

After the update, the only way is to use JuopunutBear.

And if you do use that, I'd like to link you to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcNqxsW3P-E
