The HTC Sensation is a smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC Corporation that runs the Android 2.3 Gingerbread software stock.[2] Officially announced by HTC on April 12, 2011, the HTC Sensation was launched by Vodafone in key European markets including the United Kingdom on May 19, 2011[6] and by T-Mobile in the United States on June 12, 2011 (marketed as the HTC Sensation 4G).[7] It was HTC's fifth flagship Android phone[8] and the first HTC phone to support the HTC Sense 3.0 user interface. At the time of its release, the Sensation XE was the world's fastest Android phone.[9]
Software
[edit ]The device shipped with Android 2.3.3 and includes HTC Sense 3.0 UI.[10]
HTC launched the Sensation as part of a new generation of devices with signed bootloaders. As a consequence, the phones were originally not rootable, denying users administrative rights to their phones.[11] It was announced on July 10, 2011, that HTC Sensation devices would have their bootloaders unlocked due to overwhelming customer feedback after the release.[12] [13]
On July 29, 2011, a tool named Revolutionary was released by amateur developers AlphaRevX and unrevoked, which enabled S-off, and subsequently, allowed permanent root.[14]
In August 2011, HTC officially allowed unlocking HTC Sensation bootloaders at the HTCdev.com website.[15]
Update
[edit ]In March 2012, HTC updated their devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).[16] The ICS update re-locked the bootloader, but developers found a procedure that made it possible to obtain S-off.[17]
HTC decided to fork their Sense user interface, leaving Sensation owners who updated to ICS with the Sense 3.6 interface instead of getting Sense 4.0, which launched on newer phones.[18]
The phone can be upgraded with a custom ROM up to Android 7.1.2, but the device is currently considered obsolete and development has ended.[19]
Variants
[edit ]HTC Sensation XE
[edit ]On September 14, 2011, HTC released the Extended Edition (XE) of the HTC Sensation in Europe under the name HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio.[20] The Sensation XE had a faster 1.5 GHz dual-core processor (up from 1.2 GHz on the stock Sensation), a larger 1730mAh battery, and shipped with Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) OS with HTC Sense 3.0. The Sensation XE featured a red speaker, buttons, rear camera, and the Beats logo to differentiate it from older Sensations. It included urbeats earphones, a renamed and redesigned iBeats headphone.[20]
HTC Sensation XL
[edit ]On October 6, 2011, HTC released the Sensation XL with a larger 4.7-inch screen running HTC Sense 3.5 with Beats Audio.
