How do you like your Sensation so far?

[alexbr91]

Have any of you guys returned it? what made you keep it? What are some flaws? what are some pros?
For me i really like the phone it is really fast and responsive but i do not like the battery life but i got 2 battery replacements from ebay so im good now

I love it... aside from the constant problem of the screen switching constantly to full brightness killing my battery, occasional HTC loading screen when returning to the home screen, Picasa Web Albums not working in Gallery, useless speaker and speaker-phone (installed Volume+ to improve), sometimes laggy functionality, the and occasional freezup while playing certain games perhaps due to the screen resolution.

I'm hoping an update from HTC, and devs updating their apps, will fix most of these problems.

I love my Sensation. The only problem I've faced is a singular piece of lint under the screen, which, unless you actively look for is invisible. Other than that I love the phone! I've been getting suprisingly great (for HTC of course) battery life from mine, usually lasting about 17 hours with mid to high use. Volume + fixed the low volume speaker and everything else works well.

I really like mine. Other than the low volume (working good now by using Volume+) everything else is great. So great, I had my Sprint # ported to the Sensation today. It only took a couple of hour for the porting to be complete.

Love 95% of it, but I do have a few complaints:

1. Wish the auto-brightness had a couple sliders to denote the maximum and minimum values. I don't think the auto-brightness goes low enough for dark settings.
2. Wish there were a better way to arrange the app drawer (by folder/categories). It's a bit difficult to find things, because they are organized alphabetically. For instance, when I want to play Solitaire, I have to remember that it's called Klondike Solitaire and look under the Ks. So you really have to know the specific application names.
3. Wish the built in mail app had a better way of navigating/syncing the Gmail labels. I'm being forced to use the Gmail app because of this problem
4. Wish the built in weather app had radar
5. After playing with my brother's 3D EVO, I really love the back of that phone's texture. Makes it much easier to hold onto. The Sensation is quite slippery because of it's slick, curved design.
6. The notification led is embedded behind the grill of the earpiece. Neat feature, but it makes it nearly impossible to see from across the room.
7. Wish the USB charger port were on the bottom (or had both options). I'm left handed and it's current location is in the way.

Those are the only real issues I can think of at the moment, but I don't think there's much I'd trade it for.

I don't even have it but I am in love with the design of that phone.

I love it other then the screen issues I'm having with it. When its on the charger it acts all wacked out and can't use it so I'm forced to take it off. Now I'm experiencing the same issues while its OFF the charger.... Gettin worried.

I really like how well the battery is used when it is in standby mode. And yeah wicketr i have to agree with you the stock mail app is really sucks a lot.

agreed, the imap email acount is a bit to be desired......funny thing is, I kept telling myself "I dont really need all this" and "when am I ever going to use all this customization"....I kept saying within the 1st few days I was going to return the Sensation before the 14 day return period & go back to my Vibrant untill the Hurcules came out, but every time I go back & turn on the Vibrant it just seems less desireable, in an ancient kind of way...lol
Ive been very fortunate & had little errors with mine that were easily remedied. The phone has never lagged in any way to date....
