With htc sense?? - G2 and Desire Z General

I just received a replacement phone from a warranty issue, and upon inspecting the phone, I see "with htc sense" and I lol'd. I was just wondering if anyone else saw this on their phone
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Yeah, mine says that as well. It doesn't really have much point, except to advertise that the phone has Sense and to distinguish it from the other versions of the Desire Z (not sure about the Vision, but the G2 doesn't have Sense on it).
Mine also says "with Google" on the battery cover, just in case I wasn't sure who made Android I guess....

Yeah G2's say "with google" and DZ's say "with HTC sense"... really only helpful to distinguish between the two but who really cares about sense on the back of their phone?

"Vision" is just the codename for the phone. All models of the Desire Z and G2 are "Vision" (e.g. the word is in the filenames for RUUs for both phones).

May it doesn't matter, just thought that it was an interesting mistake

Wait, so you're telling me you started off with (what I assume to be) a T-Mobile G2 and they gave you a HTC Sense-less "Desire Z" in return?
Does the front of your device say "HTC" or "T-Mobile" on it? Does the battery door have a "G2" engraved or is it blank? Maybe you could take a couple pictures? I'm really curious about this.

I don't think it does, as he/she mentioned it being "an interesting mistake", implying it's a Sense-less device. Guess we'll have to wait for a reply.
I'm extremely curious about this peculiarity, as I am trying to remove all non-HTC branding from the device in an attempt to transform my "T-Mobile G2"-branded Vision into a more HTC-esque Desire Z. Except without Sense... simply because I don't like it.
I'd like to get a screen that says "HTC" and not "T-Mobile". I already ordered the appropriate battery cover.

[DISCUSSION] Desire Z development..who will be in??

I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!
looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.
LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.
Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.
Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.
For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.
I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

[MISC] Best HTC device of 2010 - vote for the Vision

There's a poll over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860549 for the best HTC device of 2010. The Desire Z is one of the candidates, so if you love your phone, then vote !
Bumping this for the benefit of the G2 folks, in case they haven't seen it.
Yes, I know the entry in the poll says "Desire Z" and not "Vision" or "G2/Desire Z". I PM'd the guy who is running the poll but it looks like he doesn't want to change it, based on what he says in the first post.
Anyway, "we" are not doing too well vs some of the other phones, so if you are bothered about this sort of thing, why not vote ?
Why the hell is this not refereed to as the Vision anymore?... on this forum or elsewhere?
This used to be the HTC Vision forum... now we're using carrier branding? Gets confusing when the phone has three names... and possibly more if the Merge ends up being the same and the HTC Shift.

Well, the G2 forum used to be called the G2/Vision forum IIRC (or something very similar). But whilst the Desire Z had its own forum, that didn't have the Vision label on it, even though it's a Vision phone.
I think this is all part of the initial confusion about the G2 and DZ being somehow fundamentally different, when they're not (just different radio bands and hardware keyboard layout).
It would be good if we could start referring to the phones as "Vision" more often, I agree.

We're standing pretty good at 6% which is 6th place. Considering we've one of the most recently released phones, I'd say that's not too shabby. The rest have been out for awhile.

The Desire HD has been out around the same amount of time (slightly less I think ?). But unlike the Vision, it wasn't fragmented into two differently-labelled phones (G2/DZ).

It kind of urks me to see it reffered to one way (desire z) or another (g2). It confuses me too. Altho I call it g2 when I'm talking about it in person I know the people who own the desire z probably get annoyed to hear someone call their device the g2. I totally agree the forum name should be changed to htc vision as well as the poll.

I will reply. One X is a huge difference, both in speed and screen. The keyboard is not needed with such big screen. When u turn the keyboard to landscape, u get a keyboard with three times bigger buttons. I got a model without WiFi troubles, screen issues etc. The phone is very fast and Sense 4.0 is great. It's rooted, running Charmeleon. The bad things is the battery and no SD-card slot. Games like GTA III don't lags, even with graphics on max.
(And yes, I want a cookie.)
well great for you! but we just lost a developer from our device it was great working with you... or at least try to

Bull****. My ROMS wasn't good, and someone can take over these ROMs, I don't need these. Just noticed a bug on One X while it's over +40 C. The glass under HTC logo will become hot, and it's not good
I also took the step forward to the One X. Got three faulty devices which I had to return... really bad Quality control by HTC. I'm also very annoyied by HTC's S-ON policy. Now I'm thinking of giving my good old DZ another half a year and see what google presents in fall.

I think I'm lucky. I don't have problems with my device, but I'm softbricking it almost everyday BTW I'm going to stock HTC ROM, I am tired on these custom ROMs.
I moved from the Desire Z to the HOX yesterday evening. Its early days but already I am adjusting to the size and Desire Z is seeming less desireable....
It is a pain to not have trackpad wake though, I must admit. I will really miss that. But it does feel like swapping a convenient family hatchback for an Aston Martin.

Agreed - but in my case I can cope with the 24gb etc of onboard storage, and I am pinning my battery hopes on a case with built in battery using the pogo pins on the back. (its shipping from Hong Kong right now).
Incidentally, I did read somewhere that theoretically in the same way that the battery case uses the pogo pins, such a case in future may be able to incorporate a card reader. probably wishful thinking though.

Could HTC have not given it another name?

Just a little frustration. The HTC One is becoming very frustrating when it comes to searching as I have ti eliminate all the previous versions of the one from last year, it would have been so much easier if it was called something like "One Z".
Right now if Search for information or perhaps an accessory, my search looks something like this: "HTC one -x -s -sv -lx -xl -vx"
Is there an easier way?

You don't have to be very ignorant to think that.
Imagine an average Bob-The Builder, being so-so interested in phones and buy what everyone else is buying (i.e. iphones) and then hearing somone say something about the HTC One. It does not compute unless other Bob-The-Builder-people buy and show off the One.
They need MASSIVE advertising to become mainstream to the man on the floor who's not giving a shlt. That's the worst hill to climb.
Today I heard a colleague complaining about his HTC windows phone constantly changing clock or something - he's not going to buy the One.

It isnt any leak he has he is just speculating.
There are absolutely no plans for an HTC One Google Edition (IOW an official HTC One with vanilla Android). This rumor started with the HTC developer advocate who used a poor choice of words.
What she meant is that there will be an update for the One with a much more minimal Sense experience that should appeal more to those who like a vanilla experience.

I saw that. I still have my doubts. HTC is a bit more closed than samsung and sony. I'm not saying its bad, i love the phone, but its the truth. Samsung is becoming more closed though. Sony is awesome with AOSP
And hey, if they do, then all the better
Alright, so basically the evidence behind this rumor is one guy while HTC itself full out denies it. This is pretty much full-on tinfoil, or, at best, boiled leather.

I know exactly who he is. Been a member of Modaco since the OG nexus. Do any of those titles give him any insider HTC info? No, maybe that's why he was wrong about the bootloader.
