I'm on Globe Postpaid. No data plan for me on globe since where I'm based only Smart has wireless broadband coverage.

I'd like to ask though; what accessories you guys have and where you got them from? Since it's relatively(compared to iPhones) hard to find good accessories for the Sensation locally. Thanks!

So far I've only got

- screen protector (which was meant for PSP 3000, I liked the fit over the screen protector for our Senny since it had ridiculous curved cutoffs:mad:)

- Capdase soft jacket

+1 on hard to find accessories. :eek:

I want to get a dock and a spare battery and possibly a white back door. I'm planning to visit Greenhills by the 1st week of March. I'll keep you guys posted :)

got mine here in the UK, last November and TBH disappointed with its performance:(:(
had a chance to compare it to a friend with a DHD and it really shocked me
considering the powerful hardware the Sensation has compared to the DHD.
here is a thread i created for this issue and a youtube video as evidence

now i got a DHD via ebay and has S-off and rooted this, and I am one happy
Android flasher.:):)

Ingat kayo lagi mga kababayan!

Hello everyone! This is my second sensation, I bought my first one month after the release and waited for around aug or september fo permaroot. My first daily driver was stock rooted htc sensation xe(custom rom) by EddyOs but was stolen in a bus a week before Christmas. My 2nd one is still a sensation not xe, bought at sm annex on the mid of january.

I tried a couple of ICS rom base 3.24 and my favorite so far is the DarkForest 5.3 by jonny. Astig! :D

Yay for Android!

I didn't buy my Sensation in the Philippines, but it's fantastic to see some Android users in the Philippines! When I visited in 2010, everyone I knew all had Blackberry or Nokia phones and nobody knew what Android was. Hahaha.

I was excited to peruse Greenhills' selection thinking I could buy some nice, cheap accessories for my myTouch 3G (at the time) and everyone looked at me strangely!

Many people still own a BlackBerry around these parts. The people that only knew what Android was were those people (like us :p) who keep themselves constantly updated. Many people still have to be weaned off their Nokias because fact is, they've dominated the market here for years.

What is the reason for that? Are Blackberry and Nokia phones just cheaper than Android phones?

    I got the ICS OTA the other day. I haven't experience any bug yet. I've been connected to the internet 24 hours. And yes, I got face unlock.

    I hope devs here will cook Pinoy themed skin.

    :)

    I got my Sensation XE as a gift las Christmas. Rooted and flashed a custom ROM within 2 hours. Very happy with my phone and, in general, with the Android platform. Came from iOS, I just love how "free" Android feels.

    Mga kabayan, pa help po please. I bought a second hand htc sensation xe w/ beats, originally bought from Singapore(Singtel), the seller said that it was locked to Smart. When putting in a Globe SIM it states that "Your SIM does not allow a connection to this network"(it does not ask for an unlock code), no signal, but it obviously works with a Smart SIM. So I decided to try unlocking it on my own instead of paying for someone to do it(which is not cheap). I have researched and tried evertything, but still it says "Your SIM does not allow....", please help? Here is what I did so far:

    1. Checked my IMEI's validity through an online tool and it came up okay(I have not called Smart, yet)
    2. Tried manually setting APN's
    3. Tried automatic registration
    4. Tried *#*#4636#*#* off/on radio, took out battery, waited for an hour, put it back again
    5. Tried clearing the s58 data with the nbh file, which was successfully done twice(BTW before I got to this step I had to unlock the bootloader, install CWM, root, JB S-off, downgrade firmware to 1.17 to run the nbh file, go back to 3.32)

    Also, after clearing the s58 data, I have checked the mobile data, APN, etc. and have the same issue(works on a Smart SIM only). I do not know what to do at this point. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
