funny you mention that. i kind of like the carousel effect. Although sometimes when i swipe the screen to go to the next page it goes into orbit (spins rapidly through the screens) and its kind of a lucky dip which page its going to stop on. Do you get this too?
Which one is the one going to T-Mobile?

I actually think the carousel is really cool eye candy, and something rally cool to show your friends. Especially your iPhone using friends. ........
But I finally asked myself what purpose does it really have besides this, I came up with none, and when I learned how it uses a lot of resources. So I can live without it myself. HTC taking the carousel out of Sense helped to make it as lighter launcher/theme then it previously was.
XDA senior member ozkaya has made as mode to remove the carousel for the HTC Evo 3D. Ozkaya has stated that sense the HTC Evo 3D and the HTC Sensation are basically the same so it should work for the Sensation. Just in case someone wants to check it out.

Yeah, what did HTC lie about? Confused.
The whole One range has the image sense chip which needs Sense 4 to make use of.
The one V has the new configuration of capacitive buttons as the ONE X and S! It was obvious from day one that this phone will come with Sense 4.0! Who said that the Sensation is not getting Sense 4.0 officially? It would be a marketing mistake from HTC if the updated the Sensation with the latest version of Sense before the launch of the ONE series, as it's one of the selling points of these new phones! We will be getting Sense 4.0 as the DHD and Des S got Sense 3.0 after the release of the Sensation ( those phones are even getting ICS ! Samsung didn't even bother giving SGS touchwiz 4.0 on GB, not to mention the ICS fiasco! ). I think HTC is the best Android OEM when it comes to updates but things are not as they should be! Let's hope Google does something about fragmentation!

That's kind of BS. You don't need Sense anything to make use of an imaging IC or something like that. You just need a driver and it to be configured to be used with the OS. Same goes for "Sense 4.0 requires the imaging system that the Sensation doesn't have". Again, BS. Just port the Sense 3.6 Camera to Sense 4.0 - done.
the software on One V in too light, totally without 3D animation of HTC Sense.
The big hardware differences of HTC One Series from HTC Snesation is related to the Camera Hardware. Camera is one of the most important feature where Sense 4 is focused and are not compatible with the older hardware (i spoke with the Product Marketing Manager of HTC Italia).
New Sense could arrive to Sensation with some linitation. One of these are the new camera features, like lightspeed shoting xD
Here's the thing.. say htc released sense 4.0 for the sensation, what reason will you have to buy the one x?? Even if you do buy the one x, what will you find in that handset that was worth your money?? For that reason most of htc's loyal consumer base are belongs to samsung. The s3 obviously. Htc has to do business at the end of the day so you really cant expect them to give you the latest unreleased software before their latest hardware is released. I do think though that they will release sense 4.0 about 6 months down the line

Does anybody know if HTC have got in plans to update Sense to the same level as it is on Desire HD? Some of the functions are so handy. I would just love to have them on my handset.
yes, desire will be the only one that will get an update. maybe in time desire hd hits the market
Are you just speculating or is that confirmed?

no they didnt, they go winmo 6.5 but only got sence 2.1, sence 2.5 is exclusive to the HD2
unless htc have said so themselves, i really doubt they would go through the time and effort to update one of their older devices.
don't get me wrong i'd love it if they did, but from experience, i really doubt it.
"Older devices"?? I got my desire 3 months ago, a top of the line phone, a flagship. A trully want to belive that they are going to update the desire, but i cant say for sure if they do. But i hope.....

Anyone know when the Desire is considered an older device? I'm sure it'll continue to be manufactured and sold for a while now - not everyone wants a big phone or a keyboard. Am assuming a new Desire replacement won't be out until next spring.
actually your wrong here, i'm glad someone brought it up so i looked it up
HTC did upgrade both the diamond 2 and touchpro2 to sense 2.5

waw this makes me hopeful if we keep nagging about it we will get it, especially since they don't offer desire 2 yet (3.7 without keyboard) i want a stock new sense experience on my desire, i don't like heavily customized roms

i just did it now you are right smart arse
yes, from experience the desire is now considered as an old phone, and if you think otherwise then you haven't been with HTC for long enough to know better.
when i bought the HTC HD2 i was really happy with it, updates were coming from everywhere. then, the desire was released, end of updates for the HD2.
the desire has been out for about 6 months now, several newer devices have been released the desire itself has been updated into 2 new handsets, and many more are yet to come, how long will htc support the desire?
google the HTC glacier, planned to have dual-core processors/gingerbread etc and is due in about 3 months, htc have more things to deal with than the desire.
don't think for a second i don't like the desire, i've had it for 6 months and i love it, best phone i've ever used and will continue using it for the next year, but many people know that htc aren't too good support wise and it wouldn't surprise me if we see the support for our beloved device stop.
i was as skeptical and i was sure we won't get it, especially still burned from diamond days
but having learned today diamond 2 and touchpro 2 did actually receive the HD2 sense, i'm really surprised i think we should give it a chance
HD2 was outdated software wise maybe because windows mobile 6 reached the end of its life? and we still don't know maybe it will receive windows 7

Yes HTC have confirmed that their newer handsets will receive gingerbread. That defiantly means desire z and desire hd whether our desire is included no one knows, but let's hope so.

Froyo update was done rather quickly (about 3 months) compared to previous phones. This happened because there was a commercial pressure to spread Flash on Android phones. Gingerbread doesn't offer any value added feature to Desire. We don't have front cameras, game controls, etc...
Hope they do it in three months but I don't believe it. Specially because of the new Sense.
I am hoping it comes together with the new sense

That's great news, can't wait to test some new roms
is it possible to port sense to our nexus ?
That would be considered Warez... So it may be "possible" but wouldn't be completely legal as HTC sense is not Open Source like Android.
People port things like this all the time back and forth. Yeah it kind of is "warez", but xda seems to turn a blind eye to it.
Once HTC releases an ICS update for one of its phones, then you may see one pop up for the GNex. I doubt you will until then.
I thought we were buying GN to get all stock ...
but in my opinion it would be awesome to see sense on this screen
so maybe there is a chance to get it work ..

Considering HTC refuses to acknowledge things like the green tint issue that some users are experiencing when they updated to jellybean, ignore GPL by not releasing sources, releasing updates for their phones literally years too late (like the amaze receiving ICS like a year late) I think it's safe to assume that they'll either ignore the One X completely or release it a few years from now.
Either way, I'm pretty sure this is the last HTC phone I ever buy.
reliable only on XDA not on HTC
when we have great team of developers here on xda why we need official one???but in terms of releasing updates we all know HTC.....
Well, my questions wasn't about the official update, I asked if you guys think that the devs will be able to port it fully. Not just skins and tiny segments of Sense 5, I'm talking the full interface.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
yeah im also looking forward to experience sense 5 on my one x. it is said that it is lighter than sense 4+.
i hope it comes real soon.
Since the HTC One has the exact same screen resolution and we have 3.1 kernel, i'm sure we should get full sense 5.
The only limitations are the HTC One's hardware specific features.
Team Venom Epic-Sauce + Sense 5....
You tell me how awesome that is going to be

The HTC One doesn't have the same screen resolution... It has 1080p and we have 720p. It just has the same screen size (4.7 inch) which is practically irrelevant when porting.

hi folks,
the german tech site techstage.de was able to ask htc directly on the london release party.
they said that there will be definetly an update for the devices one x, one s and one x+.
they also mentioned that this update wont got all the features he htc one got, but i think this will be mainly the new htc-tv feature that allows u to use ur device as a remote (because we dont got an infrared sensor).
we'll see...

Hi friends
now i have htc hd2 and i want to buy a new phone, and now the two handset doubt one x and nexus 4. If you help me?
Compare them on internet, go to a phone store and put them next to eachother. Decide which fits you the most.
This is a personal opinion. Nobody can decide what phone you should buy.
You can add HTC one in that list as well.
If you want fast updates and good custom ROM support, go for the N4.
HTC is not particularly good with those two areas.
This is not a personal opinion, it's a fact.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I used to use a HTC HD2 from 2009 Nov, still have my hd2 in good working condition. Upgraded to HTC OneX in 2012 April.. no regrets yet.
I'm not sure about N4, pardon my ignorance.. but I do have friends with latest android devices from samsung/ motorola etc. I always do get the most awesome roms/tweaks/themes thanks to the wonderful community at XDA.
I personally love Sense and HTC One X lets you run the latest Sense with its full glory without any lags, if you ask me having an option to run Sense is itself worth selecting HOX over N4, you can always switch back to AOSP if you ever dislike it.
Additionally the image sense chip on HOX is awesome.. I can always vouch that I get the best pic with my slim mobile
Only the single issue with HOX is it doesn't have S-Off yet, that means once you unlock, no way of going back to a state where you can proof that you haven't unlocked your phone. That might be the only reason, why my next device might not be a HTC. But honestly, I'll miss sense.

Same here.
Samsung/Sony next for me...
Really want one of the new xperia's !! TAKE IT IN THE BATH !!!
Apart from nexus devices, most carrier upgrades leave a lot to be desired timescale-wise. Wouldn't recommend sony for quick upgrades, or customer service(talking from experience...).
It's fairly straightforward though. There are no high-end phones from 2012/13 that will disappoint performance wise so try them out and see which you prefer.
samsung has maybe faster updates, problem is they are so bad that instead of that i wait some weeks more for htc updates and get best out of the phones htc is still the best in all
As a nexus owner I can say that nexus experience is unparalleled. It represents absolute customizability and control over how you want your device to be. Then again HTC and Sammy has better cameras, possibly better displays. You can calibrate nexus 4 display and make it look as good or better than one x or s3.
Ultimately like the previous comments I'd suggest try before you buy.

I am using One X now and will upgrade to another HTC phone because the company is in a bad condition financially and I want to support the it. If HTC hoes bankrupt where else would you get skins as good as sense I don't wanna live with crapwiz stock android is good and fast but it gets boring pretty quickly sense is fast too and beautiful.

I have returned my one x twice under warranty with just flashing a nandroid of stock and relocking the bootloader. Device shown the security alert but no questions asked. First for the WiFi squeeze issue for which they fixed and replaced the back case. Looked brand new. Then I just fastbooted the unlock token and rooted again. Second return for signal / no imei number for which I got a new motherboard. Both jobs took 5 days - send and return. Very pleased with customer service of HTC. I'm in UK if that makes any difference.
