Decided to get the xl...

So, after much thought I've decided to get the sensation xl on the 3 network here in the uk. Which comes with unlimited data!
Has anybody got any tips for me?.. Recommend apps etc?.
The phone is being delivered to me sometime today!
Download appbrain app, aswell as best apps to keep upto date with what's new. Also blackmart alpha is good.
Search the rooting method on these forums and patiently await custom roms as I am doing. Enjoy your handset!

I'm on 3 too! And I love the unlimited data without a fair usage policy =D
I'd recommend Tubemate. It's a YouTube video downloader for Android. It's not available on the market but they have an official website where you can get it from (beware of fake apps!)
You can download plenty of HD vids that look and sound amazing on this device. I know it isn't the best screen but I still think it is awesome =]

Thank for the info mate.
You would have thought with it being a 4.7 in screen the screen would hav been up there with the original sensation! I can't believe the screen gas been downgraded!
Also the loud speaker quality is a big fail! You would hav thought with being a big phone, you would get big sounds!!
HTC need some lessons in making there phones louder!

Count yaself lucky, i went for the Droid Razr, and to be honest im gutted, i wish id seen this phone before the Razr. The speaker quality is actually really good on the Razr though wanna swap?
I hope your enjoying you're sensation XL for me it has been already the best htc I've owned and battery life is perfect just to think what scripts may do to improve the already great battery life and new roms including ICS is well worth the wait!

I agree totally. I was apprehensive at first seeing as everyone criticized it's apparent "downgrade" from previous HTC devices, but I am more than satisfied. I have yet to find fault with it and even the limited memory capacity doesn't bother me in the slightest

Lost my battery cover already...

First time I've ever lost something like this. I've looked everywhere, and I cannot find it. Does anyone know where I can pick one of these up?
Call HTC for a new one. They're pretty easy going on sendingbout batt covers and other moving parts. Just tell them that a clip on it or something on it broke. Or just say it broke off and wont reattach correctly. They'll mail one out for free likely.

just call HTC. thats what ive done in the past for my inspire. i used to lose the battery cover all the time.
I called for a replacement sim cover on my Inspire and they sent it no problem, free shipping and all. I do believe I remember the HTC rep saying they only do 1 free replacement per phone so I wouldn't get in the habit of losing it.

The HTC rep I talked to never said only one replacement, but always function on the side of caution. Stop losing your stuffs

+1. i have the white speck case as well and i love the thing.
I had a Desire for 2 years and never lost a cover. I've had my Vivid for 2 weeks and the cover has come off by itself once already. I am ordering a cover for this thing. Probably the Otter cover.
Lol couldn't stop laughing after seeing this one, lost the entire back of the phone hehe.
Anyways, that's pretty cool to learn that htc replaces them. Good to know.

Screen died?

The screen on the wife's XL seems to have died. Everything else works, i can use adb and fastboot and pull files from the sdcard
Screen doesn't even work in hboot/fastboot
any ideas guys? how could I do a full factory reset from adb/fastboot (obviously I cant see anything on the screen to navigate menu's etc)
If it dosent work in bootloader, a factory reset will not help, as it has no effect on bootloader. It's going to need sending back for repair.

Weird phone just started working again on its own! If it happens again I think it'll have to go in for repair. Problem is that if I send it in while it's working knowing HTC they will just say no fault found :-\

It might be a loose connection between mobo and screen. Just try not to throw it about too much, see if that helps

This sounds exactly like the problem I had on my Incredible S, it would be fine, then the screen would just turn off, if you took the battery out and turned it back on again you could hear the sound, the lights came on and the vibration worked, then it'd be fine again. In the end I had to knock the top of the screen and it would work again.. Until one day I knocked it too hard and lost my temper.

Sounds exactly the same apart from the knocking bit. I tried to revive it, and no joy. So I put it down and a couple of hours later the wife picked it up and it powered on and the screen was working again. Nothing to jolt a loose connection
Oh well, will just have to see how it goes

I'm having similar problems, I think. Mine started around two weeks ago. First symptom was screen took around 3-5 mins to turn on when I unlock my phone. Then I noticed rainbow lines, especially while charging. Eventually the issues got worse and I took it in for repair. Pulled my phone out last week while they take their sweet ass time to ship a replacement screen to the Philippines.
Workaround is to NEVER turn off the screen, and do a hard reset in case it does turn off.

Start off by telling what ROM you are using.
I think it's convenient for me since I used pattern lock before I've got the ICS update
Now i just simply show my face to my phone and it unlocks automatically with seldom failure
And just draw pattern to unlock when you turned off the light and lying on the bed
I really like this function

This looks great, I love android, but another option can't hurt?
Any guides on how to get this running?

It's fake. And the source link includes a video about how to run android on HTC Titan. There is nothing about Sensation XL.

Ctrlpda is a windows phone 7 dev and I doubt this is anything more than an alternate home screen ui. Metro ui and launcher 7 offer a similar experience so don't see why.

The Titan and XL are identical phone ,just the casings are different, i think he put the Titan phone in XL housing and SXL phone in Titan housing because in that video you will see the phone screws beside the phone, that is my explication and i think it's a right explanation
