New version of the HTC Sense user interface

[lovy]

I don't understand what that mean. Don't Evo have the new version? If not what's the difference? Sorry to be such a noob.

I don't believe the EVO has Sense 2.1. If I recall correctly, it's rocking the same version of Sense that the Dinc had.

I was asking my son and he said he don't know how to locate on his phone which version it is. (we are newbies lol)

The EVO doesn't have Sense 2.0 which is what the Bolt is supposed to have.

Whether or not they went to the newest 2.1 is unlikely as that requires Gingerbread, I thought.

Yayyy, my 21 year old son has been rubbing his Evo in my face. I'm going tot tease him when I get the Thunderbolt lol.

evo does NOT have new sense, only US phones so far is inspire an tbolt. an does not have to have gingerbread, inspire 4g has sense 2.1 an is running android 2.2

it has yet to be determined if htc sense.com will work with tbolt, it works with inspire. it is up to verizon to allow it.

I think most felt sense 2.1 required Gingerbread because the newer HTC phones running 2.1 have Gingerbread on them (the yet to be released Incredible S, for example).

It would be nice if this phone has sense 2.1 as it has a lot of improvements specifically with the pull-down menu. I have CM 7 on my Droid and I love being able to pull down the menu and have wifi/gps options without needing a widget or going into settings.

I hope it does I love using it on my son Evo. I thought I read somewhere that TB will have HTC Sense

This should clear up the htcsense.com question.

so will we be able to register the Thunderbolt on Thursday @ www.htcsense.com? I checked the other day and Thunderbolt ain't in the list

Your findings were correct. Thunderbolt is not currently supported by HTCSense.com. I apologize for any confusion.

HTCSense.com is a flop if it can't support HTC's newest devices.

It can. This has more to do with Verizon than HTC.

Keep in mind Verizon has a service that comes with a paid warranty and HTC does the same thing (locate and wipe) for free. Not to mention Verizon is uber anal about anything that uses their network and they likely want to do more testing.

 

[lovy]

will it eventually? is this something that can be added via update?

They claim it will eventually, but that remains to be seen.

Perhaps.. but there are other services out there (Lookout Mobile) that do the same things that Sense.com does and Verizon doesn't try and block them (although it easily could).

Also, I think if it were a VZW decision, HTC would come out and say that and tell you to follow up with them.

Never mind you just answered the question, this is disappointing I love HTC SENSE *sigh* what's is the point in calling it HTC if we can't even have that

This is very disappointing even when you consider HTCSense is still in beta, it's features are a really nice add-on and in my mind helps to sell HTC phones over others OEM's phones.

That's exactly how I feel. I don't think Verizon will ever allow it simply because it will eliminate things that we would normally pay them for smh. Ugh Evo looking better and better, sorry guys just disappointed about this. I was looking forward to those features.

Isn't that something you have to pay for as well? I'm saying Verizon would never let you have something for free that they are actively trying to sell you.

yea, i email htc about this a long time ago. they said its up to the carrier. but i read something maybe from ben or bmx about sense.com might make final cut. but i dont wanna put words in there mouth could be something else random i saw. but the main features of sense 2 on the phone are great. but the site is just over the top. cahced maps, whick google is adding in anyways, but flip the phone to make silent is great.

inspire is the only one so far..besides non US phones. but this doesnt mean it wont become availbe. an sense.com has been down for maint since the announcement of the bolt by verizon...lets hope

No, it's free. I think the only thing you pay for is "remote wipe".
