We’re seeing some HTC Sensation owners on Orange get system updates today. It seems to introduce the rather excellent Signal Boost technology which hooks onto any WiFi and gives you a mobile signal. Ideal for in office environments where those special reflective windows kill mobile signals from normal masts.
The screen, sound and video quality is apparently much better folowing the update. There’s also better battery life and a generally quicker experience. The update should take you up to Android v2.3.4, HTC Sense v3.0 and Build 1.45.771.5.
Update – We’re also hearing that non-Orange HTC Sensation devices are receiving the update too. Do let us know if you’re on that list.

had an update though not had chance to see what it does, only 9.8mb so not a major one, mines an unbranded sensation.
Updated mine yesterday – Vodafone
EU version, Orange UK Sim – update last night to 1.45.401.3….
This is NOT a super all in one update that does ANY of things mentioned in the article above. It is purely and simply a security update following the news broken originally by andriod police regarding a huge privacy hole in the newer HTC handsets eg the sensation.
It is a 9mb update (small) & seems to do nothing that is remotely obvious bar patch that issue.
