Here is the moment we all been waiting for. The HTC One X is now available in the Philippines. This powerful (according to HTC.) Phone's price is P34,000.00.

 

People are all excited on HTC One Series Released.  The Good news is that the product has already arrived here in our country. Yesterday was its Pre- Launched in Eastwood City.HTC Pre-launches the One V and One S at Digital Walker Eastwood. Attendees were able to play and experience with the new smartphones to come out in the Philippines next week.  

Many Questions about this sense 4.0 is giving us the big QUESTION MARK. Is Sense 4.0 will be available to other HTC device other than the upcoming ONE Series. The Answer is NO. HTC aren't releasing Sense 4 for the Sensation (at the moment at least). That's why disappointments comes in to the face of the user of old HTC device. This is because sense 3.6 ( the latest version of sense in older phones) is to far away from sense 4.0.See its review here.

HTC Users specially Sensation phones probably had updated now to ICS. But apparently. Your all disappointed because you only got sense 3.6. Just like other lower Sense version. There is no new features with this update. the sloppiness of its integration with key features in ICS. Even though it marked an improvement in functionality and performance, it seemed as if the OS and customized UI were at war with each other.

We got something to look forward to HTC Fans. The HTC One Series.  Above the lineup of HTC Series Phone is HTC ONE XL.

Here is the full specs of the Phone, I just post the important features so that android users can compare with the other One Series.

Describe as Entertainment at the speed of sound
Entertainment is delivered quicker and smoother than ever thanks to a super-fast LTE network connection. In addition, with this clean, minimalist phone design, you get a giant, pixel-packed 4.7-inch HD screen. Then there's the amazing camera that captures every moment with crisp, beautiful photos.

HTC One Phones are heading the market to the users. Now lets see the similarities with this HTC One V to Old HTC Desire S. They were like brothers. Phones with almost similar Specs. Just minor difference like the front cameras and Android HTC One V is running on Sense 4.0 and Ice Cream Sandwich.  But all are saying HTC Desire S is more better because of the looks and Grip. 

There is a way to port this One V on your Desire S. So you can feel the One V experience. But ROM is not stable yet and there are some issues. But look at the brighter side on what this can do for you.

Sells almost 1 million since the device launch. The success was magnificent so they continue the production till it reached asia.

Are You using HTC phone? are you satisfied with the features or do you want to upgrade it to ice cream sandwich. HTC  has released  a clean list of HTC phones that will receive The Android 4.0 update (Ice cream Sandwich update

Do it with SENSE.

Tips and Tricks are now here.

Guys here is the steps on how you can Successfully root your SENSATION devices. This means SENSATION, XE and XL. In other words. Working for any other sensation. Experience the power of ROOTed phones. Just follow the steps. I am not a developer just a tester. So any damage on your phone is not my fault. Do this at your own risk. Happy Rooting.

Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.

How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )

5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported

8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.

To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!

STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8

1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)

7. OPTIONAL: Boot into recovery or Completely switch off (Fastboot disabled or remove and reinsert battery)
Follow STEP 4 SUPER CID sub steps 1-6 to get adb running
8. Enter the command "adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status" Phone will confirm it is "CHARGING"

Charging issues fixed with new clockwork recovery. writing is now BLUE not purple or orange

Step 3. To permanently root your Sensation - (This means you will NOT LOSE ROOT on rebooting)
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
