How many of you still have the Sensation?

[Charlie3999]

As the title says really. How many of you still have the Sensation? I've had mine 4 years this June. Its still running ok, but seems very slow now. Also extramly limitied with the 1GB of internal memory compared to other phones now.

I think its time to say goodbye and maybe use it in my car for GPS.

Anyone feel the same? What phones have you thought about going to?

I unfortunately had to get the xperia m2 add the audio jack was broken and the mobile days antenna was a bit screwed. Still prefer the sensation over the m2 though. Still use the sensation sometimes though

Still using my Senny, but using any other ROM than KK compiled by myself is really annoying.
Anyway, this phone is still quite good for normal using (I'm not playing games, only internet, calling and sms).

Still going, anker battery showing its age now. Using cm11 by ivanich. Cm12 too slow for me.

Sent from my Sensation using XDA Free mobile app

Just got a Sensation XE in preserved condition, save for a drop when the USB was connected, so uh...Hi!

 

[Envy64ht]

Had my first sensation xe in 2012 and regretted every moment when i sold it back in 2013. In 2014 i tried to find another sensation as a 2nd phone but sadly its pretty scarce in my country. A friend of mine offered to sell his xe for a sweet price and i grabbed it! i still love the xe, pretty good for music, online tv and the usual call & text

Had mine for around 2years before the capacitive buttons became unresponsive..nice phone though.

 

[SeveralBunnies]

I've had mine for 3 years now and it's still able to handle the light tasks I need it to handle. If I were to upgrade soon I think I'd wait to see what plans Google has with the new Nexus.

Been using it for the past 3 years. I update once every 6 months to the latest happening ROM. Currently I'm on CM12 (Ivanich) with an 8G SD-EXT on a 32G Samsung Pro card. No more 'insufficient storage' problems.

While not as snappy as the modern phones due to older processor and low ram, it performs well without any major hassles for the kinds of apps I use (mail. im, maps, browsing etc.). I had to replace the original batteries with Anker though.

 

[gab_ITA]

I still actually have this phone. Unfortunately, I had to switch to another phone due screen problems, but I fixed it and I keep it as 2nd phone in case of need...and I reverted it to Gingerbread, it was a fantastic release in my opinion

 

[skaterchy]

I am still using my sensation XE, with stock ROM.
It is still working also I did a root, S-OFF, 4EXT.
Tried: CM-9,CM-11,CM-12, SlimKat, Revolution-HD, Carbon-KK.
I like all of these ROMs but they "eat" my battery very fast like about 15hrs .. . which is not suitable for me plus the fact that using the Stock ROM I had like battery energy
for 24hrs-to 48hrs MAX (depends on the load of using it).
The problem could be just in my battery, can't tell for sure but with my stock it lives longer without charging.
So far I am locked with stock ROM.

 

[namila007]

im still using Sensation 4g with SLIM KAT rom.Low app storage is the problem

 

[1355656377]

Still using it now, runing CM12 by Ivanich. I use it well under my optimization. But if CM13 stops its update for G14, I think it's time to change a new phone.

Selling mine

Sadly, I just decided to put our two Sensations up for sale on SWAPPA. :crying: I learned a lot about Android phones by rooting & flashing many ROMs on mine.

Great phone, totally reliable and looks awesome too. But, it's being overtaken by newer tech.

Can't say I'm real thrilled with the replacement phones we got from TMO (Alcaltel Pop Astro) but at least they do LTE and VoLTE on TMO's full spectrum.

 

[coc014]

I just sold my oneplus one, back on the senny for a week, waiting for my replacement (g4 ? redmi note 2 ?)
what is the best rom ? cm12.1 is a little slow, viper s too....

 

[Boomer120y]

I was forced back to this phone just yesterday actually, glad i kept it. I botched a flash on the LG G3 and hard bricked it (like totally, nothing on screen, buttons don't do anything board diag shows failure, still shows up as LG in the device manager so the qualcomm fixes wont work).

It seemed really sluggish, and had parts of apps everywhere on it (i stole its SD card for my LG ), so i flashed Slimkat on it. works nicely enough, though i've noticed that any rom that is over 4.0.2 (what it originally came with), just doesn't perform as well as stock. However the clean OS and the extra ram from a complete clean like that, will make it standable until the LG is replaced.

 

[theodleif]

What I like about it is that it is very robust. My little daughter wasn't able to destroy it yet.
So I guess I will stick with it as long as I can.

 

[Pommy192]

I had mine for about 3 years, first rom I ever flashed was android resolution HD, then vipers.

 

[nura1]

I still have it. Sensation never die, now it have android 6.0 and its awesome.
