Ive tested my dads sensation and it was very good the first few days. After about a week or so it lagged and became unresponsive. Whdn I ever I tried to flick the screen for tye corossal tye screen didnt move it all, it sometimes just moves a little and goes back. The lockscreen ring becomes unresponsive. When I pick it up it bounces back down. I know this a vibrant, but I just had to say it.

The phone is pretty good, but after a week it slows down and becomes unresponsive drastically. There are barely a few third party apps installed on it.

Ive just tried to use the phone app and after I type in a number it took a while for the screen to respond to it.
I ve had absolutely no problems with it at all.. I did learn to turn fastboot off because if you dont, when you power down your phone, its like its in hibernate instead of actually turning off. I think this is the majority of peoples problem with this phone.
I guess you should root and install custom ROM then use it for a week.

Unfortunately he'll have to wait until HTC unlocks the bootloader for Sensation.

cmon, is it really that bad after a week with those specs? i know its the first batch of phones and all. maybe a simple reboot may help once in awhile but i can't imagine all the phones being unresponsive after minimal use.
No problems here either ;-)

No problems with my Sensation.
No problems with my Sensation. It is super fast. You may want to try turning off fast boot and rebooting the phone. I've had it since day 1 that has been available and has been super fast ever since. No lag whatsoever.
HTC ranting
me and one of my friends were on HTC's facebook page blasting them and on they responded to our ranting.

Correct. Turned off fastboot and the system started behaving the way it should. I've had mine since Friday and don't regret it one bit. I think this thread is not titled correctly. I love my Vibrant, but i'm liking the Sensation even more. The Sensation isn't a huge jump performance wise from the Vibrant, but it overall feels more powerful. It doesn't get bogged down, and browsing on it feels nice and solid. I'd buy it again.
Hows the size difference compared to the Vibrant? Meaning is it a huge difference in size or just minor. Haven't had a chance to lay with one and wonder if its too big.

I had both side by side same size, sensation is thicker but it is round and you don't feel the thickness it feels better in hand than vibrant I hate screen on sennsation colors are washed compared to vibrant and vibrant is lighter and a lot cheaper too.

Lol, the last thing you want to do is to compare any non-SAMOLED screen to a SAMOLED. I miss the vibrants screen (not pixel density), but by itself the sensation does have a nice screen. It's black aren't as black, and it's viewing angles are the best but it's still good.
I liked the sensation when I played with it. That sense3.0 or whatever looked pretty cool and I'm not really a sense kinda guy.

Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.
Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

+1 This phone is smexy! Plus, I really don't see a significantly better speed increase on my friend's GNex... They do everything at roughly the same speed!

Just buy a spare. Those cheap extended ones aren't really that much better in performance from reports I've seen online. You can't bump up the maHs without increasing the size of the batteries just yet.

3. It's beautiful and it works.
4. Contract still not up yet .
The nexus has the best form factor of any phone to date. Its kind of a shame all the manufacturers are moving towards making giant phones.

s3 costs almost 750-800 usd in my country so i rather stick to this
Should I buy the nexus 4 to replace my one x? or should I spend double and buy the One or S4 nexus experience when they come out?
Do whatever you want. If money is not an issue then go with HTC or Samsung. Most likely users over here will tell you to get the Nexus 4. If you enjoyed the HTC experience then get the One. If you want to try something new, get the S4. Otherwise get the Nexus 4.

If you want stock android why spend the extra money on a HTC One or GS4 with stock android when you can get the Nexus 4 at half the price.

Not completely true, the hardware of the S4 is great and the camera, screen, speaker and screensize are better than the N4 imo. Its the crappy and bloated software by Samsung that cripples the phone atm. I had the S4 for a week and sold it because of the lags and stutters, the camera and screen are very very good.

Not the screen. No matter how high the resolution is, and how ridiculous the pixel density, nothing makes up for the unbearable oversaturation of AMOLED displays If I were to go for a new phone (although I probably won't for at least a year and a half) I'd actually go for the HTC One right now, not the S4. As for which to choose out of the three options, it ultimately comes down IMO to whether you need more than 16GB of storage. If you don't need more, then there aren't really any significant benefits of the next-gen phones over the N4. Otherwise, get the HTC One.

True, the colors on the S3 we`re too `colored`for me as well,
Honestly, i'd wait for the next nexus. The one x is still a pretty good phone and should hold up till then but its your choice.

Well from graduation I got about $1800 and don't know what to spend it on. I've been wanting to buy a different phone so I'm just stuck between them all
I know they're the same size but the one screen just seems tiny compared to nexus plus that black bar for some apps is annoying as hell. Running PA with pie is awesome on nexus it gives a full screen experience

Just buy the N4, slap a custom kernel on it for good batterylife and color control and sell the N4 in November/December for the N5. Waiting is pointless, we`re human so who can be 100% sure that he/she will still be alive tomorrow
Hey,
I've owned a one x for almost a year now and with its intense usage I came to notice that the phone is getting worse. Heat problem is the biggest one together with minor damage getting worse on the device.
A nexus 4 is only 300 euros in Germany so I'm thinking about buying one. Are there any people around that know if German phone would work in the Netherlands?
It has the same processor speed I think but the nexus has the stock android look and gets updated regularly.
Any advice is welcome

Honestly, the One X is kind of a failed phone. It has the potential but does not use it fully. The Nexus 4, on a daily usage (opening apps, tweeting, fb, instagram and such) shown to be faster then the SGS 4. So yes, it would be a huge update. And I wouldnt bother waiting for the 5th Nexus. I would by the N4 and when time comes, i'd switch
Thank you so much for your time and advice. I might check a few stores here and there in Germany this weekend. All I need to know now is if it would work in the Netherlands

My N4 was definitley an upgrade over my S3 and I would consider the S3 a much better phone over the One X.
But the N5 will definitley be an upgrade over the N4.

The N4 basically obliterates any older phone like the One x. But yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you have GSM carriers operating on the appropriate bands, plus you're already using the One X.

Wait until the nexus 5 is announced. If its the same price and you get it in your country go that route.
One x is a more than capable phone to hold out at least to Google makes its new nexus announcement.
I recently changed from a One X to a Nexus 4, and it was a huge upgrade. The smoothness and speed of the Nexus 4 was such a big change I couldn't believe it at first. Highly recommended.
I switched from a HTC One X+ to the Nexus 4. The one x+ was supposed to be a faster version of the One X, and the Nexus 4 was still miles better than that! So you'll definitely notice a huge difference. The The Nexus 4 is just really smooth, no lag, and no extra rubbish on top
One Xs is a very good phone if you can put custom rom one it,. But otherwise I'd say skip the Nexus 4 and get the Nexus 5 when it's released which is soon.

I'm going for it if it's s800 if not staying with the one.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm staying put. The One has plenty of power for me and the size of the phone itself is perfect.
I might, if nothing for the bigger battery. The One just gets me through a day so anything more and I'm out. Also I was talking to a rogers rep today who knows the HTC people and there will actually be 2 devices. The One max and a mid-range phone with a smaller screen than the max (still bigger than the one, around a note 2 size) and a bigger battery. I'll be waiting to see both if she is right, she says she saw two models.
I am still considering... I still want a camera shutter button (as well as a working camera without purple tint). If it comes out using S600, I think an upgraded S800 version will release later, and by that time, Butterfly 2 will be around the corner... So most likely wait and wait...

If they fixed camera problems maybe... NOT :laugh:
I think it will be too heavy if it's made of aluminium, I prefer the note 3 in spite of its tacky look
It looks huge, but if it's around the Note II size, I'm definitely in.
