Market Press Release – February 19, 2012 5:32 pm – The HTC Sensation has a notifications bar built into the HTC Sense UI, which allows users to stay on top of notifications and provides easy access to the settings menu. In this article I will look at how to use this feature.
When you are looking at the HTC Sensation homescreen, you will notice a small bar at the top of the screen, which displays all the usual info such as signal strength, battery life etc. But if you touch this bar and slide your finger down the screen it will reveal a whole new screen which is the notifications menu.

At the top of this screen, it will display shortcuts to the last five apps which you used, which can be opened directly by tapping the icon of whichever app you want to open. Below these it will display any apps which are currently open and running in the background. This is where you will see apps like Easy Task Killer, should you have it installed, as it runs in the background, preserving battery life by closing apps which are not being used. Below this you will see the main notifications panel. This will display notifications such as new emails, Facebook and Twitter notifications, missed calls and unread messages. This can be beneficial as it saves time because you do not have to open each application to check for notifications, instead providing a convenient overview of a single screen. Simply tap a notification and it will take you straight to the relevant app where you can view it and respond accordingly.
At the bottom of the notifications panel on the HTC Sensation you will see a shortcut to the Quick Settings menu. When you open this, you will be presented with a list of all the connectivity options of the phone, and they can all be turned on and off instantly by checking or un-checking the box next to each option. So for example, you can turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot feature instantly, and the same goes for Wi-Fi, mobile network, Bluetooth and GPS. There is also a shortcut to the ‘All Settings’ menu below these where you can view and edit the settings of the entire operating system.
When you have finished using the notifications bar, simply slide it back to the top using the touchscreen, where you will once again be back at the homescreen.
The notifications bar is a great example of the features of the HTC Sense UI which are aimed at making the user experience as convenient and hassle free as possible. The HTC Sensation is just one of the handsets which includes this feature, and it can be found in many other devices which run HTC Sense such as the Desire HD, Wildfire S and new HTC Sensation XE.
