      AnonD-13079, 06 Jul 2011Help! What should i buy? I live in South Africa htc sensati... moreI also live in South Africa, I would go for the HTC! The HTC is a reliable product with a great OS, while the Asus EEE is a very basic entry level notepad with a super entry level OS (most probably Win7Starter) no graphic ability. I have a HTC Desire and got rid of my laptop!

        This phone really has some deal breaking issues. There are definately issues with the wifi and with the bluetooth.

        Phone #1:

        random reboots, Super short battery life, would not stay connected to wifi reliably, poor batter life and it died in less than 24 hours and could not be turned on again. The battery meter just kept dropping even though it was plugged in and the charger and cable were good.

        Phone #2:

        WIFI: While NOT holding the Sensation in my hnad….The signal is always about 10dBm below my laptop and iPhone when in the same location. Installing a wifi finder reveals that access points are present one moment and gone the next unless they have the strongest signal. The iPhone and the PC see 10+ access points and the Sensation can only see two of the three in my house. If you install a signal analyzer it reveals that the Sensation shows the signal varying wildly while the PC and iPhone show a steady signal.

        BLUETOOTH: While playing audio the signal fades and the music skips unless the Sensation is within 2 feet of my Motorol S9 headset. if I put it in a sweathshirt pocket I get skips. If I put the sensation on my pants pocket the audio cuts out 50% of the time.

        Other issues: short battery life, stalls, browser hangs, phone search results put web results at the top of the list and contacts and music at the bottom of the list off of the screen making the user think that it is not searching contacts (what happened to ranking the results and displaying the highest ranked and closest matched?), song somtimes changes when unlocking phone, VM notification still displayed when there are no messages, hard to sync music automatically and most third party sync software doesn't sync play counts or ratings, bluethooth integration with built in music player is poor, you have to tell the music player to use bluetooth each time... even if the bluetooth headset isn't already connected. Compared to the iPhone, the navigation is inconsistent. Sometimes you navigate back with the back button, sometimes it's in the software.

        I think I'll go back to the iPhone, it is not as flexible as the Android OS, but it executes it's core functions flawlessy. The Android OS, or maybe the Sense overlay doesn't seem ready for prime time.

                      HTC not trustworthy, 14 Jun 2011HTC is a not trustworthy phonemaker. Has many bugs in the ... moreHTC is one of the most trustworthy phones I have used. The only thing that can come close to its reliability and toughness is the old Nokia 3210.
                      I was previouly using the touch 3g and I abused it severely. Bought it second hand but it just kept on going for another 3 years. Intact to this date, its still functioning pretty well considering many times i would leave it on as a modem for days. I trust HTC are making the best products in the market, but then no.one is perfect and i mean no one. A fine line between profitability and product, HTC has figured it out. Bravo.

                        Is this phone worth to trade with my HTC Desire S? Mine is light and already very powerful, love it very much. HTC sense in Desire S also quite up to date.. I love HTC, previously I also owned HTC Desire and upgrade it with Desire S, well it is worth it! HTC Sensation should be more powerful with Sense update, but I'm worried about the its size, weight, death grip issues and battery life.. Now I got confused whether to upgrade it again or not.. gosh! Any advise?

                          Anonymous, 05 Jul 2011does the phone gets heat up with intensive usage/during charging?i think thats quite normal for an android phone while surfing! but u feel that more in sensation as it has an aluminium cover at the back which is a good heat conducter

                                  HTC Sensation suffers from death grip... I have confirmed it with my HTC Sensation....
                                  But everything about it is hyped over internet..
                                  It doesnt occur in normal conditions(both portrait and landscape)..
                                  ONLY WIFI suffers from death grip, Bluetooth and cellular network do NOT suffer from death grip.


                                  And lastly, the phone is best you can get in android..
                                  It beats SGS II as it has better build quality, gives better grip in hand, and superb camera, and it has TOUCH-TO-FOCUS in videorecording.

                                  I have been using it since 2 weeks, and has never seen even a single lag...

                                  Smart Tip:: If you have this device, or any other android device with front camera, download a application named 'VISIDON APPLOCK' which lets you lock applications and lets you unlock your device with face recognition... And oh yeah.., it's free in android market...

                                    My experience with HTC Mozart tells me that HTC is weak in two areas : Battery life is short and Sound is not loud enough. My experience with samsung Pixon M8800 tells me that Samsung is strong is two areas : Battery life is very good and sound is very loud. Samsung sound is as loud as Motorola phone. I still trust samsung in these 2 aspects.
