***The Official HTC Sensation thread***

Argh! A major annoyance has cropped up.

When using the phone in landscape to type on forums and things it sometimes uses the prediction bar to predict words. Only sometimes though, and it appears in random places. Sometimes off the top of the screen so you can just see the bottom few pixels, sometimes right across what you are trying to type!

In the previous version you could turn off predictoin for landscape keyboard, but leave it on for portrait, but now it only appears to be all or nothing :(

Anyone know of a way to turn this off, and if not, what's a good free alternative keyboard. Ideally as close to the default Sense one as possible, just without the annoyances?
 
I updated my sensation XE to 4.0 earlier and in People, moved my phone contacts to 'Google'... On checking Google ( Gmail > Contacts) theres no change and no new contacts.
If I go to go through the process again, my phone reckons that they've been moved (indicated by the number of contacts in 'Google'.
What have I missed?I want all my contacts to be on gmail so they Are kept off my phone aand only in one place. Cheers.
 
Figured it out, I turned off Syncing! All synced to my Gmail account now.. Awesome!
poosemon, I'd upgrade if I was you. I fidn my Sensation XE just a bit more reponsive and smooth.. and the fonts? WOW :D

How do the Senseless Roms compare on battery life? I've been running ARHD for the last couple of months and fairly happy with battery life but since I don't actually use anything from Sense, could I benefit more from running a Senseless Rom?

ive switched to ICS VI senseless and i think im getting a better battery life. may just be because its a new install but average day use at work im ending up with about 20-25% more battery than i used to on 2.3 with sense. (tmobile still hasnt released ICS for the sensation)
 
So after the new update my phone no longer plays a notification sound when I get an Email, it just vibrates..it is set to have a sound enabled...but it doesn't..anyone else had this?

Text messages still plays a sound though :s
 
Using InsertCoin Stable 1.1.1, almost fully sorted now, just the wifi tethering to be sorted which i dont use so im using it as a daily rom. Almost like having a One series HTC ;)

What are you on atm? If its on 2.3 still then its easy it root s-off and flash any custom rom and be able to go back to 2.3 stock. If you have already done the ICS OTA im not sure, best place is to look over at XDA mate loads of guides over there just dont post questions in the development thread or you will get flamed to hell :D
 
VI has the benefit of having best of both I guess, the sense camera is far superior than aosp one, but for some reason I keep going back to sense roms as I much prefer its widgets, i find them far more user friendly, simple things like clicking on the time to get a timer or stopwatch without the need of some 3rd party widget etc, im due an upgrade and am still torn between the one x or sgsiii, if the one x had a microsd slot it would be a no brainer for me...
 
no worries, im not sure how to root the ota ics tbh as mine was rooted and s-off'd from gingerbread, if its possible im sure there will be a guide on xda, might be a case of doing the htcdev bootloader unlock method
 
Anyone who got a HTC Sensation on Talk Mobile (Not T-Mobile), do they know if the phones supplied by them are unlocked and accept sims from any network?
