Hi! i am using HTC Sensation XL for more then 2 years and it was good but suddenly it keep restarting and speed is also very slow. I do both Soft and Hard restart but it make no effect on it. My phone is in original form mean its not rooted. What i need to do now ???
Sorry to hear that. If you didn't unlock the BT and root, then service is all that left. Mine is also 2 years old and i am on stock. But never had such troubles.
You sure the phone wasn't got wet or something, coz i think it's kinda hardware prob....

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

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.

Hi all
I own a Sensation, but my sister got an XL.
The time has come to root the thing and remove bloat, so I head into the bootloader... And there I notice "SHIPP S-OFF".
Is that normal for Sensation XL, because I can't find any posts about it? I can find a ton of posts on HOW to get S-OFF though
She updated it to ICS a few days ago...
no its not normal, maybe fardjab would like a dump of your sisters hboot

No problem.
Well, except one... How do I make a hboot dump?
I did unlock the phone a few hours after I posted the thread... No one was answering, and my sister was getting impatient
edit:
I remember a few regular Sensations being shipped S-OFF. One in every few hundred.
It was a big deal back then since you couldn't just unlock the phone via HTCdev. Or unlock it at all

Its prob useless, there are some tools like LGTool that can S-OFF the SXL, but the purchase cost makes them unpractical. I just thought there may of been something in your sisters hboot, that could help fardjab inproved his modified one lol

Hey, how do you mean it "shuts". Does the Display turn dark or the phone completly shuts down / crashes?

so you think that this problem is on hardware?
yes
I completly aggree with anders3408,
use your warranty no matter what they say. The condition is that your phone is fully stock so that you've warranty! Explain them the error and if they say it's fixed but it isn't do it again. I don't know where you come from but in germany after the 3rd or 4rd time you can make a change and you'll get the money back. (Not the full money of the phone but the actual worth of the phone).
