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!
no not correct. they need rooting and then flashing roms .the s_off progress is only some kind of preparation. i thing XL is better cause it has 1080p recording and a sense 3.5 rom itself!!! and it will have good android 4 roms

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..

thanks, that sounds awesome, never heard of it..
but, i cant wait a half year..
one of the reasons that i need a new one soon, is that my wifi doesn't work anymore, after i dropped the phone..
my gps doesnt work either
the volume button works only half the time..
i could have it repaired under the warranty, but it then i will first have it back in january, that sucks..
EDIT:
WTF!?!?
just read another article about it
The tegra 3 is supposed to come with a 10.1 inch screen.. thats way to big for a "cellphone".. never gonna buy that!
Hi,
I had my DHD for 9 months and two weeks ago i bought a Sensation XE. The XE is a great phone and the best part of it is that there is a RcMix Rom for it
If i were you i would buy the XE (Dualcore) and not the XL (Singlecore). I'm sure you will be very happy with it (it's like the Monster Edition of the DHD).
And the price is not so high, i got mine for €450 ($500 i think). To get S-off, CWM and root is very easy with this phone, it takes about 10 minutes and you can flash your RcMix Rom.

Lol, tegra3 phone will be launched next year..
Well, seems you need a new phone deperately, i would say why nt get a second hand phone first while waiting yr phone to be repaired??
If you have cash, den i would say go for htc rezound or sensation XE, but nt XL..
Cash is no problem at all, i can buy exact the model i want witouth simlock..
HTC Rezound can't be bought in Denmark
But i think i might get the XE then.
Thanks to all of you
Sensation XE WOULD BE GOOD ACCORDING TO ME..

I would suggest you to wait. I got my DHD as soon as it was launched and ever since i have been so happy with it. I can assure you, you are not missing much.
I am waiting for rumored HTC Ville...There s not much difference between Sensation (XE, XL whatever) and DHD

Not much difference??? qHD res., 1.5 GhZ Dualcore, Beats by DR. Dre, stronger battery, 1080p video record, front camera to name only 6 things.
There is enough difference betwen DHD and XE but not so much between DHD and XL.
I loved my DHD but i love my XE much more

So, for almost a year now, I have HTC Desire and for about 6 months run Desire HD rom on it...
Just wondering what will be the best replacement to it in upcoming summer.
From what I saw, nothing really worth to replace for but was I wrong ?
And it need to be GSM... any suggestions will be great.
Thanks
Lior
I think Desire S is a good option
Sensation is worth it desire s is basically the desire with software we've ported and is as fast on data++
I would wait for one of the new dual core phones. Sounds like there are going to be some badass ones coming out in the last half of 2011.
for me:
dual core,
tegra or better
4.3" or bigger screen (desire is too small for me)
the important ones:
must be rootable and have community support like the desire. can't rely on carriers/manuf to upgrade phone
wait for sensation or evo 3d gsm
these are the future because desire/incredible S
came out at a wrong time they won't be upgradeable to sense 3.0 unless by ports thus, their updates will be very limited like our official gingerbread update we're still on sense 1.9 :'(
but i'm running an S rom
and i know these will be my replacement phones

HTC sensation or Evo 3d fits your bill perfectly
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Definetely going for the Sensation!
I will get SGS2. I think Samsung did better job than HTC this year - better hardware in a smaller package.
Thank you all. I think too that desire S is not a proper replacement because it didn't really bring any upgrades so I wait a little bit more.
Not interested in other manufactures since I really like htc.

in november? i'd imagine that there would be something better out by then.
1080p recording would be decent too and i kinda like the way LG is going
The HTC rep gave me a seek preview of the sensation yesterday at the gadget show and it is sensational, it was a pre release and had an lcd screen instead of the super LED that will be fitted, it also had some pre release software but was super quick with the dual core.
That is my next phone after the desire

I'd get the HTC Sensation or a variant of it. Once it comes out, it will be the only real upgrade from HTC that we know of, all other phones are kind of on the same level.
That of course, if you want to stay with HTC.
After I saw it's specs, it is lead replacement for me for now.

Same here! My new phone MUST have at least these features
I'd go for the Sensation if i had to, but actually i think i'll wait till the first 2ghz dual-core hits the floor
Why on earth would you want to replace a perfect phone?!
I really wanted to get an Incredible S its a nice size and a nice looking device. But it like the Desire S seems to have lost the HTC DNA with the bootloader now being signed and it being hard to crack. Its out for 2 months and still not rooted. Desire is still better than these devices IMO. Same might be story for sensation
Hi all
Do you recommend buying Desire ?!
I tried Android at Wildfire and found it so good and amazing so i sold it and want to get a new more powerful device
It costs around 420~500 USD in my country - Egypt and the devices in that range is New Galaxy Ace or used Galaxy S and i don't like both
already compared it to Desire S and couldn't find any huge different which will cost me more 100 USD !!!
so do you recommend buying HTC Desire ? and is it true it will updated to New Sense same one in Desire S ???!!!
Desire S has the double of space (1.1 GB internal memory) compared to the normal Desire
Desire will never get sense 3.0
But if u can spend a bit more or found a cheap offer, i'll go for the samsung galaxy s 2, once buyed it u can stay with it for 2-3 years without need to change phone (the same is not true for the desire s in this moment, because it's already "old")
Just my opinion if you going to buy a new phone, anyway i will stay with an other year or more with my desire (got it in april 2010) before buy an other top phone, this is my personal philosophy
I just recently bought a used Desire for about $200 CAD and I love it.
My voice plan with Rogers comes to like 22$ and I have no desire to add a $25 data plan to get $50/month plan to get a phone subsidized from them.
I just the App2SD with a 1GB ext4 partition on my SD card to get around the limited space the phone has.

Galaxy S II will cost me about 800$ and this is too much for phone , buying i7+6GB laptop will be better idea
i think that i already saw costume roms for Desire with sense 3 and circle lock screen or i am wrong ??!!
and i am still noob at Android but i thing with root i can add more extra space for phone to install apps to it exactly like installing them to phone memory and it's so easy to get 8 or 16 GB SD Card ???
and as you said Desire S seems to be old and same as Desire so i think spending more money on it will not be a good idea
What about Desire HD , If i managed to get it with good deal do you recommend it ?
will it be updated to new Sense the one in Sensation officially or also will be custom rom ?

DHD is a fair bit better and still has some decent rom support. It will probably get the sense update, so if you can't really find a newer phone i'd say yeah, go for it.
i'm also pretty much new with android and htc so let me give you some n00b insight...
i've owned Desire for 3 months and i got used to it by now. it can give you both joy and anger. it depends on how you use it. if you live it on stock ROM it'll work smooth and you can find tips and tricks how to make it somewhat better without rooting and flashing roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653310
if you decide to root and flash custom ROMs then you can get even better device with many tweaks already built-in new software. for example you can flash Desire HD rom and therefore don't have to actually buy DHD (hardware is not that much different IMHO). now i'm running InsertCoin Gingerbread based rom which hasn't even been released for Desire yet, with many Sense 3.0 goodies which probably won't be officially included in GB update at all. as a downside, these roms can have some bugs, but are overall better than stock. just take a look into some rom development topics...
Desire has it's flaws but overall i'm waaay satisfied... although it's now an old rag D) it still kicks many "smartphone" butts out there. i came from nokia x6 and now i wonder why did i go there in a first place...
anyway, i think you can't go wrong with it. you can of course buy DHD for somewhat better hardware or spare some more money for sensation, but if you're unviling to do so, Desire is still great choice...just my 2 cents!! cheers, i hope this helps a bit!

The problem is getting SGSII or Sensation that thier prices are too high now and sooner their prices will be lower than now so i don't think it's good idea to get 2 months old phone right now ,,,
i liked HTC Sense a lot so i am choosing from HTC not Samsung also HTC have bigger support from developers than Samsung as i can see
but i read that it's sound is low and LCD Screen not that good ,, is this true ?

Thanks a lot very useful post ,,,
I will ditch my N8 for Android/HTC ,,, I really loved Android and HTC from using Wildfire for 10 days only !!!
mmmmm , DHD Roms working on Desire ?? very good and new info for me...
and i am agree with you that there is no much difference at specification just bigger screen and camera but ditching 12MP Cam - the best i ever used - means that i don't care that much for it
so your are happy with desire and it's worth it's money,,, is there any news about official update from HTC ???
and what is DHD latest official version right now ??
Comparing DHD to Incredible S latest HTC one core device they are the same !!! and i think that DHD is even better !!!

yeah, x6 had much better camera, and camera is my only problem with desire. but the phone (any phone) is never meant to be a substitute for real camera..so no real prob here....
DHD rom for desire is actually a port, so desire can run it. it's not THE rom from DHD. with that said, you can put virtually any rom into desire but with more or less tweaking to the point where hardware eventually becomes incapable of running much newer rom. therefore sense 3.0 stuff are greatly tweaked for desire to be able to run it. it's not like the real thing but pretty much close. and it's getting better every day... modders here are the wizards, i tell you...
so yeah, i'm happy with desire, didn't regret spending the money on it at all!
as for the official update from HTC, there were many contradictory statements, and the final one is that there WILL be gingerbread update but no word on sense update. you can find it in desire-general section.
I'm using Desire since April 2010, so it's more than a year now. I was very excited about the whole Android thing. And still am. But the phone itself has some big issues. First of all is the huge lack of internal memory. I can't even install the most necessary apps. Secondly it's the overheating problem. My Desire was one of the first Amoled batches and it had issues with the SOC. While using processor demanding apps like navigation, flash playback etc. It was constantly rebooting. Had to repair it. For 3 times. Then it's the speaker and battery. They both are weak. After my previous E61 Desiree's speaker really sucks. Camera is decent too. But in overall I still like, though I would really consider buying SGS back then. Now I'll wait for another year or so. Btw I'm now using MIUI ROM and it gave a second breath to Desire. Good luck with buying!

Hi,
My Desire is rooted running GingerVillain 3.3. It has only a few programs installed, & is not as responsive as the Sensation XE, which is still running stock ROM.
I'm still keeping my Desire though. I like my Desire a lot, but to me the XE is an upgrade. So, if you are on a fence of switching, DO IT!!!

yup. I do agree that the size of the Desire is perfect. Thats why I'm still keeping it as a secondary phone.
I'm a type of guys who dont play games much on the phone, & dont regularly browse the internet. so, I HATE big phones. & the Sensation XE is big for my liking, but it's such a pleasure to use. & not too bad after awhile. I'm gonna enjoy it until the new quadcore phones released.
I'm afraid that the new HTC quad-core phones will increase in size comparing to the Sensation XE. I hope im wrong though.

I couldn't feel more different. I have to admit I love this trend. Sensation display size is not humongous as it is only 4.3 inches, in fact it seems the norm among upcoming and dual core phones.
Agree with you, on the the last point. I resent those hybrids phone/tablet devices such as Samsung galaxy note which are a bit extreme.
My Desire is almost two years old and lot of things have changed. I find it too small now as crazy as it sounds.
The only phones that I would upgrade to atm are Desire S (but it's not enough of an upgrade and I love my amoled screen...) and iPhone 4S.
I have been doing a bit of research for the iPhone, I like the polish of the GUI and most things, but... I would have to jailbreak it immediately, since there's no tasker-like software for the stock iPhone and SMS client is too limited.
I use GO Sms and private conversations a lot!
There is an app called My Profiles that offers similar functionality as tasker on the iPhone, but - you have to jailbreak it...
So, I guess no iPhone atm for me, it's just too limited...
Now, my Desire, after more than 2 years works perfectly and does more things than I have ever imagined a smartphone would do. And it does them with no lag.
Terepin, your phone is just too big for my taste. Have tried one, it's ok, but nothing special. I still prefer my old Desire.
Bought an XE but still keeping the Desire. The Desire still has lots of fight left in it and it's been a wonderful phone The XE (for me) is just the powerhouse when the Desire struggles (like playing GTA III).
I think the sensation xe will be next for me but will always have my old faithful Desire as a backup!
got Desire, fast, reliable and perfect size. Thinking about Sensation XE, but bother me size.
SD card slot...
the new HTC phone are juts mango phones with andriod on them , hence as MS dont like SD cards , nor do these phones.
My 32 GB card works wonderfully in my desire...
If you have a good phone like the sensations with SD card slot etc.. and 4 core ( eg much faster then my desire ) I'd be happy.. right now...
I have a cheep 10" tablet for web / email etc... ( that's been tweaked within an inch of its life )
Got my xe (upgrade from desire). Already rooted ics with beats .... So fast am so happy no game to big lol...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
The only problem I have with the desire is the RAM. and the Sensation doesn't have much more ram ..
I like what Samsung does by putting 1 GB ram in all of their Flagships ..
Got desire recently and have sgs2 for long time and most of phones in my signature... Hunting HTC Titan, not because of screen size nor because of best WP7 device, HD7 was priority but now... I use Desire as main phone, and sgs2 as tablet or something like that.... Cool phone this desire good hardwer nice UI and from me grade 9/10 because low support from HTC i see and age... Cheers mates
Hello there.
I've waited few months to retire my old HTC Desire and purchase a new device, for few weeks ago I've been waiting the release of the HTC one X but now I've been reading some topics about issues and problems that the owners are suffering...
So here is my question to the One X owners, would you recommend the device to your best friend?
Thanks

Read back to the comments on DHD forums when that came out. Same with the Sensation. They both had teething issues for some users, and I don't regret getting either. There will always be people with problems, and they will be the most vocal.

OI! Thats my phone, get yourself something else!!!
I recommend iPhones to most people only because most people I know just want something easy to use. Not that Android is easy, but Apple is easier and they can just take it into an Apple Store if something doesn't work. The support system is much better.
HOWEVER, the One X is a much better phone than anything else on the market!
short answer: yes
long answer: alot of yes
The choice is yours I've gone from dhd to the one x don't think I would look back either
Screen crisp clear
Build fantastic
Use smooth and quick
Really light weight
Yes there is reports of minor issues on some of them but its nothing major and will be fixed the only I have is battery life mine dies faster that my gf she got 18 hours out of first charge the difference is I'm a heavy user she isn't
The rest of reported issues I've not had
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I guess U should. Since U are coming from desire.
But for me, the reason I got one was initially because of the "big" screen. Am using a titan currently and absolutely love the screen minus the lower pixel count. When I got One x, I was quite disappointed actually. I dun quite like the material used and the "bigger" screen. Its the screen ratio that actually turned me off.. The screen is taller but not really much wider than my trusty hd2. So, the "bigger screen is not what I had expected. Speed wise, blazing fast compared to my hd2. But, do I really need blazing? I guess not.. I can bare with a few millisec of waiting time. So, I am kinda disappointed tbh. IMHO.
Anyone had THE argument yet?
oops
Yes, but wait for the battery saving update coming and for some cases in the shops. My camera feels way to exposed to scratches so have ordered a clear back case which is 10 days away. Screen is amazing compared it to s2 and iPhone 4s and they don't even come close.
I came from HTC desire.

Don't you dare buying it! It's mine, my precious <3.

I'd recommend it, but if you are the kind of user who wants a flawless experience from the start = wait 2 weeks so all the bugs are updated.
My first few hours coming from a DHD I was sceptical because I was so used to the DHD and the Virtuous affinity ROM is amazingly smooth.
After 1 day I am completely loving the one x.
It's holding battery much better than my DHD with the same accounts syncing too.
The camera and screen are actually stunning, not just a turn of phrase. I was jaw dropped streaming HD and filming 1080p.
I actually prefer using my one x with headphones for media than my laptop and TV put together now
I recommend it.

Honestly, no. Not yet.
I would wait to see what HTC do to address the awful battery life and overheating before buying.
If the reviews would have been more realistic, I would have been in a better position to judge.
Feel let down by the main reviewers, but then they did have an update that us mere peasants aren't allowed. Sketchy move from HTC if you ask me, the phone we get is not what was reviewed. Foul.

I can't help wondering why they chose to release an update that fixes a lot ONLY to the press... It makes no sense to me?

Clearly they weren't sure about it's stability/hadn't bug-tested it enough to release to all of their customers.
Should be out soon though

Because they needed to get it to them before the reviews were published, so that they'd reflect what HTC intended the user experience to be like before the handset was released to the public later that week.
Sensible though that strategy is, it sort of comes undone when you don't push that update to the retail handsets in time for them going on general sale. I imagine it was because the 1.27 update was a quick hack to fix the major outstanding issues that would be likely to turn up in reviews, whereas 1.28 would need to be fully tested before being delivered (because having effectively supplied a handset with pre-release software there'd be hell on if the first update didn't work perfectly), but it could still have been handled better.
YESS u should..but to each his own...
For the screen size remarks....
I`m coming from the DHD and the Sensation XE.
And i`m loving the new bigger screen.
The colors,..The sharpness it`s just a marvel
But again what works for one doesn`t have to work for all.
About the speed.....
Just lightning
CF Benchmark
23839, 6010 , 13050
Antutu
11524
Monjori
38 FPS
Nenamark 2
48 FPS
So the CPU goes like a bat out of hell
The GPU at the moment is the same as my Sensation XE ( adreno 220 @ 320Mhz )
Batterylife looks to be OK.
But when u stress it it takes a lot of juice.
The companion core works perfectly cause the standyby hours are super
Have any of you guys heard about this? http://www.itproportal.com/2012/04/17/htc-golf-be-called-wildfire-c/
Although it's mostly speculation at the moment, it looks to be pretty interesting that HTC could be releasing a sense 4 phone with a 480 x 320 resolution. Which would make creating an ics sense port a little bit easier if anyone was planning on doing so.

Hehe, it's already out. It's called Desire C and wfsdev are working on a port as we speak.
Just got 3 of these (desire c), one for me, my son and the wifey.
Carphone warehouse has them on offer for only £99.99 unlocked and unbranded, amazing value, everywhere else is like at least £60 more.
It has nfc, official flash player, beats and ics, oh and a lot of onboard space for apps
Not a big fan of sense, but it'll do till my upgrade in 3 months
Can't wait to get cm9/10 on this
If anyone's looking for a great value phone check it out.

Shame it doesn't have its own forum.
Yeah I'm gonna message some admins/mod tomorrow.
By the way battery is exactly the same as wildfire s, but lasts amazingly well, I'm on 10hrs with 3hrs 55min screen on time and WiFi on playing games, browsing facebook and whatsapp and I still got 38% left, well happy with it.
