Root mikG... sense 2.1 (3?)... htcsense.com

i'm kind of confused about sense 2.1 vs sense 3. the evo by default comes with sense 1 right? i just flashed mikG 1.0.4 w/ htc sense 2.1 and i'm liking the newer sense UI. but if i had sense 1, and now have 2.1, what's 3 and why do some roms say sense 2.1 + 3?

i connected to the HTC hub and connected my device so i can access it at htcsense.com. however, the dashboard at htcsense.com, after syncing with my phone, cannot locate it or make it ring, lock, etc. all it does is basically back up my contacts. since mikG has sense 2.1 should I be able to use those features from the dashboard now or are they still not supposed to be working because the hardware isn't supported on htcsense.com?

thanks
 
when it comes to the sense 2.1 vs 3 issue i guess my question is more along the lines of what has been getting sense 3 vs 2.1 and why is the EVO stuck with sense 1 (even the 2.3.3 update has sense 1 correct?) because the simple question "what is it" is simply answered by "different versions".
 
yeah the numbers are confusing. htc has said that phones with dual core will be getting sense 3.0 only. but the devs are amazing and they have been able to get sense 3.0 working on our phones. so the roms with 2.1+3.0 basically means that they have sense 2.1 with some elements of 3.0 built in.
 
thanks. so does that include the features such as locate, wipe and ring? because on the dashboard i cannot connect to my phone. it has 2 bars w/ 3g right now. for what it's worth i just figured out that lookout cannot connect to my phone either... er...
 
yea. originally the dashboard said i had to wait for it to sync. then that finished and now i can see all my contacts on htcsense.com (not really useful since they're synced with my gmail...).

the dash features are to make it ring even if silent, locate it (gps), lock it, wipe it. i use lookout right now which lets me make it ring and locate it (for free) or i can lock/wipe if i pay for premium (which i'd like to avoid since its likes 30 bucks/year). right now neither is connecting so maybe i just have worse reception than it seems at my parent's house...
 
thanks for the suggestion.. no luck. i'll give it a go when i have better reception but it'd be cool if someone knew if htcsense.com should work in the first place. because if it doesn't then i dont have to bother troubleshooting :)

Do you have TEP (Sprint insurance)? The TEP app is free and it does the same things as Lookout.
