[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
That is a tempting phone but I think I would hold off and stick with the Inspire. There are a couple of reasons.

1. This phone is already hacked wide open and fully customizable. There is no guarantee the same thing will happen with the Sensation. (I am sure it will, but we never really know)

2. What happens if the AT&T T-Mobile merger goes through and they make you switch phones back to something with the AT&T banding within a year. The only good news is that you would come over at a better grandfathered price, but I am sure they will rip that away when LTE comes in.

3. T-Mobile Coverage leaves something to be desired. It rocks where it is present, but it isn't present in a lot of places. If you travel at all take a good look at that coverage map.

4. I believe the Sensation is only going to be capable of 21mb down (only... ha) not the 42mb down T-Mobile is deploying to cities like Vegas. This makes me wonder what their future plans are and if there is something... dare I say it... even better coming in 3 months.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
You make good points.

I presume that LTE is the AT&T 4G network, which the Inspire is designed for? Y'see I posed the above question on the assumption that the Sensation would operate on AT&T's 4G network as the merger goes forward, and/or that AT&T would offer an equal or better phone as the Tmobile customers were migrated over, but that might not be correct. Can you comment?

The problem I face is that I need to make a final decision by the end of today and either return the Inspire and revert to my no-contrast status, or stick with it. But if I stick with the Inspire, I'm locked into it for 2 years.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Not to mention the Sensation will be tied to T-Mobile and if the merger with AT&T goes through, eventually the data will no longer work. T-Mobile has been rumored to be contracting for phones that have quad band HSDPA+ radios. But the latest info is that the G2x doesn't have it. And the G2x was clearly stated it would have the quad band HSDPA+ radio. If the G2x doesn't have, I would not trust the Sensation would have it.

Stick with the Inspire. It's the safer bet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
My understanding about the merger is that T-Mobile runs their "4G" HSPA+ on different bands than AT&T does so the phones will not be compatible. AT&T wants that company so they can have all that bandwidth, all of those users and all of the towers in the densely populated areas like SF, NY and LV that are notorious for dropping calls when the towers get crowded.

AT&T has plans on rolling out LTE (which the inspire is NOT capable of using) within the next year, T-Mobile does not have any announced LTE plans because their HSPA+ is so good and I am sure they are waiting to see if they do get sucked up.

One other note, the T-Mobile "Unlimited Plan" is now saying they will throttle your data speeds when you reach 2GB. That means that blazing fast 21mb/s download speeds you get will be slowed way down until your billing cycle is up. For the time being AT&T's unlimited is unlimited.

I got the Inspire because I am locked to AT&T with the 4 phones with data plans I have on my contract. I look at this as an awesome phone that will definitely hold me over until they release a phone with LTE, which by that time being that I pay an obscene amount of money to them every month I will be elegible for my 15 month or so upgrade. In reality the only time I feel like my phone is inferior is when I am doing speedtest.net tests with friends of mine that have Thunderbolts which where I live get 20mb down and up. In reality though this phone is absolutely sick and it's only downside is that AT&T doesn't seem to be rolling out a very fast HSPA+ network like they advertised.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Great feedback, guys. I appreciate the help. Still on the fence, but getting closer to a decision.

This spec says that the phone is quad-band, or am I confusing data with voice radios?

http://www.cellhut.com/HTC-Sensation-Pyramid-30632.html?INO=518754

All good points. Here are my thoughts:

* If the Inspire isn't capable of LTE, then it's not really a 4G phone, is it? So maybe I should return the sucker now and wait to see what happens?

* I can't see myself ever going over 2G of data per month, and I have WiFi at home and office, so Tmo's throttle isn't much of an issue for me.

* If AT&T's data network isn't as robust as Tmobile's, then maybe I should really be looking to leave then, no? And if the voice network will eventually merge, wouldn't that be another reason to jump ship and go with Tmo?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Yeah, that would be the cell radio, which is compatible with AT&T, as well as Edge data network (2G).

According to this Engadget article, the G2x may not have the quad band HSDPA+ radio.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/24/t-mobile-g2x-getting-gingerbread-sooner-than-youd-expect-may/
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
Looking at those specs the Sensation says that it's 3G bands are 2100/900 MHz. AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz bands for 3G. The 2G radio is quadband so it looks like it will work on EDGE. I have an Nexus One that is unlocked but I had to wait for the AT&T banded one because the T-Mobile unlocked one would not work on AT&T 3G bands.

As for the AT&T not having 4G, that battle has been being fought for a long time here. Really what they did is call their HSPA+ network 4G, just like all of the other cell companies that have the same infrastructure starting doing about a year ago. They aren't exactly lying but they are not exactly telling the truth either. They do actually explain what they are doing on their website, but you have to look for it. I am not a fanboy here, I just think people are flaming AT&T even though they aren't exactly hiding what they are doing. They are just taking advantage of the lack of a universal definition for 4G.

http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...locale=&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115944

That Sensation is a great phone, honestly if it is unlocked and works on AT&T 3G bands and developers can root it and get some good ROMS I might just have to sell a kidney and buy one off contract to run on AT&T's network.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
That is weird because if you go to the ATT site under inspire it says

4G* - HSPA+/LTE HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

I just assumed it was capable of LTE

Humm
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
That is their definition of what comprises 4G, not what this particular phone is capable of.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Sweet! If AT&T says it's so, I would more believe them than HTC. But in all actuality, the AT&T LTE will likely be their 4G network. This means, probably, that the Inspire is compatible in the fact that it uses 4G. This would also make the Atrix compatible.

But I'm not all that familiar with LTE to begin with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
None of the current phones they are pushing out with "4G" labels have LTE radios. Part of that "What is 4G?" battle. I really think we are at least 1 year away from an LTE phone on AT&T. Just a guess, but I have had them for a long time and watched how slowly they move on stuff like this. An example would be launching the iPhone on only the 2G network when they had a fully deployed 3G network, and rolling out this HSPA+ way after T-Mobile and many international carriers. Not exactly committed to bleeding edge technology here with the big blue ball.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
To my way of thinking, 4G is about a speed standard, not a protocol standard. I don't care if the phone speaks Greek or German, as long as it does so at 4G speed. That said, I do agree with you that AT&T (or other large companies) tend to get into the crosshairs because it's easy to pick on the 800 pound gorilla.

I'm smellin' a lot of 'if' comin' off this plan. Lots of variables - timing, hardware, rooting, unlocking, ROM availability... there's a lot of uncertainty. Might just stick where I am. Besides, there's no saying that even IF everything went well with Tmo and the Sensation that when they're absorbed by AT&T that users won't be forced into an Inspire or other phone anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Understood thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
Actually AT&T's plan is to be the only carrier that has LTE and HSPA+ so those in areas that don't have LTE can fall back on HSPA+ and still have somewhat of the 4G experience.

Like it has been said, none of their current phones have LTE radios. The Inspire will see 4G HSPA+ type speeds once the backhaul has been completed in your area but will never see LTE speeds when they roll out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Any last thoughts on this? I have only until tomorrow to make my decision.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Verizon's LTE is fast now, but wait till it gets saturated like ATT. It'll go downhill just like Sprint's WiMax did.

I personally, would stick w/ ATT because of the Tmob merger. When that's done, the ATT network will get better for us the consumers.

If you have an Unlimited data plan, that's enough reason to stay IMHO. All the carriers are going the way of tiered data plans as an attempt to make the "experience" the best for all of us. I don't like it but don't have a choice either.

I think that if you'll fight the urge to have the best now, you'll be better off in the long run when all the wrinkles get ironed out w/ the ATT-Tmob merge.

I say sensation because its newwer.LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
I'm not ENTIRELY certain... but I believe the incredible S's bootloader is signed, and has yet to be cracked (or whatever needs to be done for custom Kernels/Roms) I'm not sure if HTC will continue the trend of signing bootloaders, etc, but seeing as how it's a newer phone, it would most likely follow that pattern.

If you're into hacking/modding/tweaking to the extent of a fully unlocked phone (read:custom kernels, more rom choice) then get the Inspire 4G.

If you find yourself pleased with Sense 3.0/ HTC's offerings in general, get the Sensation.

As a side note, I'm sure root will eventually be found for it, but no telling when with HTC changing their phone security game up.

i tried looking all over but was still unable to find. please do not flame me if this is in the wrong section or not. i apologize in advance.

anyways, im currently running Bionix V 1.3.1 on my Samsung Vibrant. One question i had in mind was, is it true that running different kernels can mess up your headphone jack?

ever since i flashed Bionix V 1.3.1, i can hear the music clearly when i play it through the phone speakers, but when i plug my headphones in, i can hear the music in a really low volume (volume put all the way up) and the sound is way too distorted.

just wondering. because before i odin back to JI6 to see if the headphones work that, i would also want to know more information on my summery and question i have provided for the XDA Community.

thanks XDA

and much love for the DEVS and Admins!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomorrowSpace:
I've got 2 possible answers for you. The first is to download the Voodoo control app from the market and change the sound settings. The second is possibly a bad install. If the first doesn't resolve your issue, do a Titanium backup and then go back to CWM and reinstall 1.3.1.

Edit: Before you do a complete wipe try wiping the Davik Cache
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjaypops:
thanks for the response, im going to try that ASAP and ill get back to you. so it is correct then, having a bad install or a different kernel, it has the power to actually mess up some functions of the phone itself?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjaypops:
Thanks for all your help "TomorrowSpace". i guess it works now. thanks for saving me before i went all out and reflashed everything.

one thing i wanna add is that, i think my headphone jack internally, is messed up, i sorta have to move it around to get it to sound right, but wiping the delvik cache helped greatly. i did it from CW and from Titanium Backup.

Thanks so much XDA for wonderful people who help out for us "noobs"

I have a g tablet with CWM and TNT LITE 4.20 on it. In your opinion, should I stay with that, update it to the latest TNT LITE, change to VEGAN or go back to the latest software update from Viewsonic? New to this, and would like a second opinon. Thnaks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justauser:
Guess it depends on what you are doing. The latest fixes a lot of bugs, gets you on the 1.2 bootloader, and you can then use Robeet's latest custom kernels. I am personally using TNTL 4.4 becuase I need the VPN and CIFS support in the custom kernel.

It gets you a locked bootloader and you can't use custom kernels. Roebeet tweaks the official Viewsonic releases very well but he doesn't make custom kernels.

Got my tablet 2 weeks ago.

I went from stock ROM->Vegan 5.1.1 (2 weeks ago)->Vegan Ginger edition 7.0.0 (yesterday)

so far so good.

However, when i tried to update to the latest kernel (see below)

"ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):

boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-042411.zip

Download: boot-cm_2632.39_gb-oc-uv-xtra-vfp_fp-042411.zip"

I get "wifi error" upon startup. Wifi is not recognized, nor can i add my wifi manually.

Tried going back and forth between base ROM/kernel from this forum "VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1" and the latest kernel (with the usual clear data/cache/davlik cache post-install). Base kernel has wifi no probs, but any later kernel and i get wifi errors

Tried to cycle airport mode, but nothing happens - just goes into disabling wifi networks and stays grayed out

Also tried to clear cache "before" flashing kernel, as suggested by member TEK112 in the same thread. Any help will be appreciated. thanks!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrypchan:
Sounds more like you forgot to take the lib-2632.39_gb.tar.gz from pershoot's webpage or failed to take the correct version of the lib. That lib tarball contains the bcm4329.ko (wifi driver kernel module). You have to untar the lib and adb push the bcm4329.ko driver to /system/lib/modules/, reboot after pushing the module over.

Try that and see if you have any better luck bringing up wifi with a newer pershoot kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda-novice:
Thanks terrypchan...never played around with adb before, and couldn't get it to work last night, but will definitely give it a shot and post my results.

However, in previous version, when I had Vegan 5.1.1, and upgraded the kernel, i didn't have to go through the adb push of bcm4329.ko install. Even with the upgrade kernel for gingerbread7.0 (the noted issue here), there is base bcm4329.ko driver is already sitting under /system/lib/hw/wlan folder, so the adb push of this module under lib/modules will override the base ?
