          AnonD-14092, 17 Jul 2011Wat phone shld i buy HTC Incredible S or HTC Sensation?? i... moreGo for HTC Sensation. Resolution is way better than Incredible S. Battery can be compensated for easily by bringing along a battery pack. Like i said before it does drain fast for heavy users like me. Screen wont disappoint you you'll love it.

          PS. So the saying goes... "You buy a Ferrari for performance not for its gas milleage" üüü

            people with battery problems!!!!


            turn off wifi,gps, bluetooth, and data sync when you don't use them!!!! gps and data sync drain battery the most!!!

            also lower the brightness of the display to save more battery!!! the display is big, therefore, it uses more power.

There was an update about 27MB and did it through WiFi connection. The update upgraded the version to 1.35.707.1, After the update i think sync has a problem with gmail sync and maybe others as well. The most annoying change after update was kind of strange. I had set screen to never time out now this option just vanished. I dont know why HTC just updated the software just to change this time out option. Now you can only have time out for upto 2 mins and for more than this you cant do it. Some application dont work when screen is turned off like WifiSyncManager which is very handy for transferring files to/fro phone to PC. But, not because of having no option to never time out option its kind of frustrating. If anyone has same issue and have solved this problem please kindly share it with us. Thank you.

                          seriosusly HTC when you tested the phone how can you NOT figure out that the battery for this phone is CRAP!
                          I love the phone its an amazing phone, my first android and I am totally in love.

                          But before your released it I am sure you tested the phone and did you guys not understand the battery needs work? or did you just simply ignore the battery problems?
                          Come on, you are by far the best phone I have ever had, and I am constantly using the phone having to charge it at least twice a day and now with more usage i might need to start charging it more than twice a day.

                          a major disappointment. i would not recommend this phone for heavy users.

                                It work perfect for me.

                                Wonderful realistic screens.
                                Best user interface ever in a phone. (Nice work HTC for the updated Sense UI)
                                Battery life is terrible but i managed it with my charger in my car so is still ok with me.
                                Death grip issue is really a must look through topic from HTC.
                                Love the solid and metal feels casing better then the plastic feel of SG2 even though SG2 score better in their hardward.
                                Lastly, it is a phone that will not disappoint you in overall.

                                  Just wanted to point out that having owned a Sensation for a month now, the WiFi killer grip is present. Also tried with 4 other brand new units and still suffered same WiFi death grip. All you have to do is hold it as you normally would in Landscape and WiFi signal degrades. As for battery, i always find myself carrying a battery back to back the battery up. This maybe the case for me since i have unlimited data plans and have my 3G always open add to that my apps are always scheduled to Sync every now and then. After close observation of battery life, from 100% it took only 5hours to bring it down to 35%. I guess battery life is user dependent. As for Phone Signal degrading, also tested it and it doesnt exist for me. Any grip doesnt kill the phone signal for me. Also tried it out with other brand new sensations and didnt cut the phone signal.

                                  Conclusion:
                                  Sensation is an excellent phone.
                                  Battery life for heavy users is not good.
                                  WiFi death grip is real and does exist.
                                  The rest is Perfect.

                                  PS. HTC kindly address the issue of WiFi beyond that phone is perfect. Thanks!ü

                                    I bought the phone 3 weeks ago and it was disastrous
                                    it is my first HTC,
                                    first week, it produced electric charges that made my hair just stands while charging, it turns so hot and battery used to drain in less than 5 hours with lots of system crashes
                                    took it to the HTC center here they just changed the software and told me NO FAULT FOUND..and told me that after changing the software they couldnt see any of what I said
                                    for another week it acted perfect, cool, fast internet, great browsing, nice GPS, nice Cam, nice resolution then
                                    it really turns soooooo hot again on WiFi I cant put it on my ears, there appeared a WiFi death grip in the landscape mode,
                                    I took it bk to HTC center but I am very disappointed, the phone costs here around $800 which is a very big investment for such a disappointment :((
