Ok, my sensation XL is here and I love it. Despite it does NOT have an SD card slot, despite it only has a WVGA screen. It is an amazing piece of hardware. The plus on this device is sense 3.5. With that, I seem to have a few bugs with the facebook chat widget within sense. Seems to lose its connection from time to time and has a hard time re-connecting. Also, the Skype app will NOT stay logged in even thou I have it set to never log off. Anyone else with any of theses issues..? I using on AT&T and everything else works just fine.
I myself have issues with the twitter app... It's quite unreliable when posting etc.... I think Sense confuses the phone a fair bit so have removed my details fom the HTC apps.
Yea, the sense in this one is a bit shakey. I think the Skype issue is because the device is not yet supported. At least that's what it said when video Skype was enabled. I remember having problems with Skype on the EVO 3D with it not keeping a constant connection and then remember it getting fixed in a newer build.
Raspster, I work for HTC. I'm using the Sensation XL as my daily driver with the EU final TA ROM and have not experienced this issue.
Please do NOT DM if you have a pre-TA ROM, but please DO DM me if you have a TM ROM with issues. Thanks.

How can I tell..? My software number is: 1.05.401.4. CL185058. I have already done a factory reset and still having the issues. Skype will not stay logged on and the FB chat will sometimes crash HTC sense but only the widget. Thanks
Had mine now for about 5 hrs and I have done as much as I can do with it in such a short time. YouTube hq is flawless but BBC iPlayer hq seems less crisp and slightly pixelated. Also I did a 720 hd video and I was not blown away as seen sharper even on old galaxy s I9000. Screen res really needed that qhd bump for high res vids. Emails all sync fine and battery also seems to hold up well. I quite like the size of it and it reminds me of my HTC flyer. Will keep playing and posting my thoughts

Hmm... If you bought your Sensation XL through retail channels and it's having this issue, please contact customer support.

Can you please report about the battery, how long can it last with normal usage?!?!
Ok, just found a newer ROM dated Oct 24 vs. the original one of Oct 14th. Just installed. See what this does.
How do you find the rom date, and can you let us know where the newest dated rom is.

Can't find anything on the phone that offically gives a date but the kernal was dated on my stock ROM with Oct 14th 2011. The NEW stock ROM I installed gave a kernal date of Oct. 24th. FYI, Don't seem to be having issues with the facebook chat widget now but the skype will NOT stay logged in for more than an hour. I beleive this is a combatibility issue with the app and it needs to support the sensation XL. I am sure this will be addressed with a future Skype update.
Hi guys
Thanks for this great forum, and special thanks goes to you Capy, you are ****ing awesome!!
I have had my DHD for allmost a year now, and have been using several different roms for it, the one i am most happy with, is the RCMix3d Runny..
Oh yeah!
Now i got some questions..
My old DHD is about to retire, and i have these options..
Buy a "new" used one, that has been used for two months, and then have it for another year.. I am really a glad user of the DHD, and i wouldnt mind having the model for another year..
OR i could go and buy the Sensation XL..
But then some questions do pop up, that only develepors and other other people who knows a lot more than me, can answer..
Will the developing of ROMS and custom stuff, be quite as much for the Sensation XL, as it is for the DHD?
I think that i am only gonna go with the RCMix Runny..
and my biggest concern right now, is how to flash it?
I've heard something about all new models from HTC comes allready with s-off and all the other stuff off, so that you can install another rom, without flashing.. Is that correct?
Thank you so much for your time!

More than likely. It's a very new device but once it picks up, developers will become more common. Give it some time, and the ROMs will start appearing =]

Cool, thank you
But after reading this:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/42444/htc-sensation-xl-xe-vs
I will say that the Sensation XE is better, though it has a smaller screen..
More pixels
Never processor
Records 1080p, which XL doesn't, only 720p
HDMI out, XL doesn't have
1730mAh battery, the XL has 1600
Its only screen size and memory size, that XL beats XE..
right, but the XL is the winner....
and better battery life

.. OH, right.. thank you SO much for the help..
Since you say so, that i just should use one, to know which one is the best, then you must have done it, used both phones..
Now.. Can you please tell my WHY the XL is better?
Yes, i can see you do have it, but.. why?
it isn't just because you are bitter, that the XE is better on many things?
The only thing that i can see is greater, is the screensize..
But then again, why have a bigger screen with less pixels?

Why does the XL have better battery life?
The XE comes with a bigger battery, and SMALLER screen..
And you say the XL has better battery life..
Can you explain that??
Again with that article you posted:
"Battery Life
1ST: SENSATION XL1600mAh, up to 710 mins talk time
2ND: SENSATION XE:1730mAh, 550 mins talk time
3RD: SENSATION1520mAh, up to 500 mins talk time
Thee Sensation XL offers quite a big advantage in terms of battery life over the straight HTC Sensation and Sensation XE depsite not having as big a battery pack as the last of the three. The difference is likely to be down to having a less power-hungry system-on-a-chip as well as having fewer pixels push and possibly to do with the nature of the screen technology as well. Whatever the reason, though, the result is that if you’re deeply concerned about not getting enough juice out of your handset, you might want to seriously consider the HTC Sensation XL over the others."

The Sensation and Sensation XE use the same 8260 processor although the XE is merely clocked higher. Both phones (and I'll put money on this) utilize a badly coded CPU (HTCs fault) rendering the apparent "awesome" dual core somewhat useless. I have used the Sensation and was appalled by it. It was choppy, slow to respond and was nowhere near as pleasing as the XL (which, despite being only single core, uses a newer generation CPU). The XL beat the Sensation on ALL tests other than benchmarking and even then the Sensation was only marginaly faster...but it's using a dual core, lolwot?
The GPU in the Sensation and XE is better than the one in the XL but there is virtually nothing demanding enough on smart phones that can really show the difference.
As far as RAM goes, although the XE has more, I have still yet to find someone that didn't find 700 odd mb of RAM to be more than adequate.
And then there's the battery...
Because the Sensation and XE are running an inefficient CPU, the battery drain is rapid, regardless of whether the XE cell has greater capacity or not.
And in my opinion, quarter HD screens look crap.
There you go.

In a nutshell, the practicality of the XL surpassed the other two, despite "better" specs.
IMO
And I'm definitely not bitter about it. I chose the XL even though I had the option of getting the XE or Sensation.
The guy in the store even offered me a Galaxy Nexus for the exact same price that I'm paying per month on this contract and I turned that down too.

Yes, i have read it.
I asked for your opinion, not what i could read, because it sounds like you have had both phones in your hands. I have had none of them, i am at home with a broken leg, so gonna buy on the internet and have it send here, cant go to a shop to test them right now
Hope you will be cured soon, mate
Im going right now to take my Sensation XL, that has just arrived from Leipzig today. I really think that is te best smartphone than others, only because is the last and I think is the desire hd evolved.
I think that sensation XE was an "experiment" that has materialized in the XL, with the beats audio and everything else.
I had a desire hd and were very proud about it; last week I sold it. Great phone indeed
I've had the Desire HD and I'm loving the sensation XL major turn off is the no sd card slot for expansion and I really hope Capy keeps developing other roms for this great device and hope that other developers will join him as well

I did the step and made the change from DHD to SXL, and guess what.... i have no regret of my choice i made. Bigger screen, faster response, better battery life, and the bonus for me was the Beats Audio pack i've got (Solo HD by Dr.Dre)
WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE DEVELOPMENT FOR SENSATION XL ,NO NEW ROM ,NO GOOD THEMES AND SO ON. WHEN I HAD MY OLD PHONE -DESIRE HD AND HD 2 , THERE WAS A GOOD ROM DEVELOPMENT, I THINK THAT SENSATION XL IS A GOD PHONE .I THINK THIS IS SAD. WHEN I LOOK FOR ORIGINAL SENSATION ROMS THERE IS TONS OF ROMS AND THEMES, EVEN ICS-ROM (ANDROID 4.01). THANKS FOR REPLYS AND SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH
Unfortunately, XL is not a popular phone. But good news came out yesterday: check out the thread below yours, ICS stock fully working ROM.
ya around here is pretty dead compared to other forums, almost makes me wanna get back to GSII

I was looking around on the net and there is meant to be a Russian miui rom coming soon. The ics rom is, like Dutch Danny says, based on HTC framework but works well. Its in the general section. Called wre rom. Give it a go.

Well, i must say XL is nt that popular compare to s2 or sensation, but this phone is unique, and exclusive.
When im outside, ppl always stare at my phone, cuz they rarely see XL.
Unlike s2, u see more than 5 ppl out of 10 carrying it everyday, it becomes normal n nothing special, its jz part of the crowd.
I prefer to be unique n special, dont always follow the crowd.

Hey there
Is it possible to get Root and ROM on HTC Desire C? maybe a CM9 thing? or a stock rom with tweeks?
Thanks in advance!
A quick google finds this: http://www.modaco.com/topic/355158-r1-superboot-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-c/
You need to unlock your bootloader via the HTCdev site first.
I was hoping to find a better rom than the garbage preloaded on this. I found Nova launcher helps a lot but I don't know why anyone would want sense on a device. CM9 or AOKP would be pretty great right about now.
My Nexus and GS2 are both in for repair so I picked this up for $100. For the price I guess I can't really complain too much.
its a quite new phone, if this phone gets some developers i will probably buy it

I just picked up the Desire C from Virgin (Canada) and I am pleasantly surprised with its responsiveness running at 600mhz. If we could ditch the Sense it could have a ton of potential.

There is no even custom rom, so it will take some time to get at least something custom on it...
Ugh, I hate being a newb on a forum. And yes, I watched the newb video, and I totally get the 10 post rule. I'm not a guru, and I'm not (technically) a newb either. I just have a few simple questions about the Desire C, and I am searching the forums so I don't have to piss anyone off with useless questions that have already being answered.
That being said, it seems like there hasn't been a lot done on the Desire. I've already bootloader unlocked and rooted mine, and I'm in the process of downloading Nameless Rom 2.2 and I'm going to install that when it's done...
I just want to ask one simple question without sounding totally dumb: Will installing a new ROM change the CID? I've been looking into SuperCID but I'm not sure if it supports this phone or not. I'm not JUST trying to network unlock the phone, I'm trying to learn more about Android and mods in general. MY experience ends about a year ago, when I started dating a girl and my computer time slowly diminished... so my knowledge has gotten rusty. I was surprised to see Android 4 ... last time I ROM'd a phone it was to upgrade my friend's phone from 2.1 to 2.2 if I remember correctly.
Anyway, I hope this doesn't get deleted. I really am trying to look through the posts to see if there's more info but it's 8AM and I'm still awake.

My wife has a Sensation Z710e. A few weeks ago it got an update from HTC w2hich resulted in the phone as it is right now.
I live in The Netherlands
Android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
Software number 3.32.162.52
Since the update there is a significant drain in battery. I checked if any settings were changed, but as far as I can see nothing changed in settings. But where the phone could work all day untill late evening, it now lasts a mere 8 hours. With minimum use. Has anyone with a sensation have had the same problem.

I believe you are in the wrong forum, as this forum is for HTC Sensation XL, not HTC Sensation, it is a major difference between the 2 devices.
