Found this thread over in the Transformer forums.

Looks like Supercurio is going to be able to port his famous Voodoo sound over to the 10.1 and 8.9. Awesome news for any audiophile out there that likes to tinker with tone control, etc.

I read in another thread over there that Samsung has sent him a 10.1 and he should be receiving it sometime this week or so. Would be cool if he could also develop screen adjustments like color, contrast, etc like he did for the Galaxy S. I'm a fan of vibrant colors but the option to tone it down if I wanted would be nice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joesee:
Any progress on this I'm interested in the 8.9 with voodoo sound!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sxi200:
Confused! I've been using voodoo sound on my tab 10.1 ever since I got it in April. Not sure about the 8.9 though.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Has anyone experienced the stuck data issue on this phone where when you are using the net, all of the sudden one of the 4g arrows get stuck and you can't access anything on the net? I had to go in the settings and turn off data as well as the radio and then turn it back on to bring the data back. I just got this phone today from walmart. Should this phone be exchanged? Thx

Update : was browsing xda and all of a sudden data went completely away, meaning the 4g icon. It came back in like 5 seconds. I don't know what's going on. Reminds me of my hd2 on ppp android, you know the familiar data drops we all experienced on ppp. Any one having the same issue?
[HTC Sensation] ibegriot:
I've been having data drops too
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
This is really strange, I mean this is a brand new phone fully optimized for android, not a hd2 that never had the most optimized drivers needed for android.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Does yours just drop and come back by itself or have you had to also turn the radio and/or data off? I've had both.
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
Mine is doing the same thing but its nothing new as my mt4g does the same thing. Dissapointed .... I thought the mt4g did it because it had a diff Rom.
[HTC Sensation] Froschfinger:
I think I know it since I know Android. Had it even worse on my Flyer yesterday - no net via 3G or Wifi though it showed signal. On my Sensation less than on Flyer and former Desire. Is it Android related?
[HTC Sensation] Shagman68:
I have had all kinds of data problems. I have been at home with it all weekend, I just assumed it was from the low signal strength in my house. I have been using wifi around the house just fine on it. My Sammy Vibrant did not have data problems at home.
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
Is rather have no signal than own a Samsung android phone. Lol.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:

[HTC Sensation] staulkor:
I have had this problem for the past year (seriously) and I have yet to find a solution. The issue has spanned 3 different phones (Nexus One, MT4G, Sensation) and 2 different SIM cards. It was so bad last June I basically had no data whatsoever for 2 weeks. Even my girlfriend has had the issue across her MT3G Slide and my Nexus One when I moved onto the MT4G so I know it isnt a weird bug with my account. She is on a completely different account.

I live in the Phoenix metro area, and at that time they were installing HSPA+ so I attributed the problems to that. I called T-Mobile several times complaining and they transferred me to a special dept and had the towers near me investigated and they never found anything. Since I lived in the DC metro area before moving here a year ago, they thought that may be the problem and reset a bunch of stuff for my phone # and SIM card but that didnt do anything either. After about 2 months of dealing with T-Mobile, the problem improved a lot and was just an annoyance instead of a deal breaker as it previously was.

Ever since then, the problem still occurs, albeit less often, but still enough to annoy me.

Unfortunately I think this is either an android bug, HTC bug, or a T-Mobile problem.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
I'm also having the same problem. Data on my hd2 was a lot more reliable. I even went to exchange for another sensation. Same problem occur.
[HTC Sensation] bryancruise:
I was experiencing this same issue, and I believe I have it fixed (at least in my case). First thing I did, was a full factory reset. Having been on WinMo 5-6.5, then transitioning to Android a year ago, the one thing that remained a constant after flashing new ROMs, was to do a factory reset. I've also read posts that indicate it is a good idea, as soon as you get a new phone, to open the box, insert the battery, then do a full factory reset.

I am not sure why this helps, but since doing that, I have only experienced this issue once. It also took care of a few other issues I was having (random FC's in the music app for example).

Another thing I did, that I think had the biggest effect, was to install JuiceDefender. When you boil it down, JuiceDefender essentially toggles your data connection On and Off many times throughout the day (it allows you to set up a whole host of triggers and controls, but I won't go into that) It is my belief that cycling the data connection on and off resets that connection, leading to a 'fresh start' if you will. After installing JuiceDefender, I have saved a ton of battery usage (my phone will last a day and half now, with pretty heavy usage), AND more importantly, I have not experienced the issue of my data randomly dropping.

I know there aren't any definitive answers in my post, but I hope this helps. YMMV obviously.
[HTC Sensation] jonathan3579:
My Sensation and G2x both do this. My old G2 did this. I think it's just problems with "4G"
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
So from the looks of it, seems like tmobile has some 4g issues, because this spans multiple devices.
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
I'm still a noob at this so I've got one question. Is a full factory reset where you go to settings->privacy->factory data reset? (I've got an Optimus M, so the menus may be different.) I just want to make sure because I plan to do a reset, install Juice Defender, and put in an 8GB class 6 card before I start doing anything. Anything else I should do at the start?
[HTC Sensation] bryancruise:
I believe this achieve the same result, but to be sure, the way I did it on this device was to power the phone down completely, hold the Volume Down button, then press the power button... this will present you with a menu on a White screen. Select Factory Reset, then press the power button. This will begin the factory reset process.
[HTC Sensation] Apollo-2:
Yes to all of these.

T-Mobile is having some measure of growing pains with their 4G service and has not acknowledged it completely. A few of us have discovered that switching handset make and models does not help, as it is a service issue. From this thread:

There are a few other posts/threads describing the same behaviour. You may see data going 'out', but no data 'in' (response) from the network, despite having full signal and '4G' status icon. Ideally there should be one T-mobile general thread for this, if it doesn't already exist.
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
Unfortunately it seems that every tmobile phone has this very annoying problem. The data is fast, just not that reliable. Must be a GSM thing because it doesnt happen on sprint and verizon phones i use. And its not a "4g" issue because all of the phones are on the same wcdma bands as thr "3g" ones, they simply have modems with increased throughput. I have had this problem since the G1
[HTC Sensation] Apollo-2:
Help get the word out to T-mo

Yes, if you are already seeing the issue, it will likely persist across all phones for you. Exchanging/returning your handset will probably not mitigate it.

T-mobile reps are going to need a few descriptive keywords if you plan on calling in the problem. 'Slow internet', 'slow connection', 'slow phone' will not generate any flags in their system due to the sheer number of not so savvy callers reporting the same thing under non-ideal conditions (bad reception/area, out of service area, etc). Suggest something like 'non-responsive network', 'stuck data', or 'no incoming data' that will allow them to differentiate user error from network problem. Test it in different locations (with 3-4 bars of signal and '4G' icon in status bar) and use the Speedtest app to give them concrete numbers. 5-15 KB/s for example is a clear indication that something is amiss, as even 3G is much faster.

Edit: There are a few threads on T-mo's site describing the same thing.
[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
Turning off the backup my settings under privacy seems to help (still an issue but better) on the store demo I have been playing with.

I notice the issue where websites will not even start to load and apps time out when connecting. The request appears to be sent from the phone but not getting a reply from the network.

My G2 does not have a problem in the same location.
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
My wifes samsung vibrant, my cousins vibrant and my Sensation all do this. Oddly my Nexus one doesnt have this issue at all?
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
I've been calling around to Wal-Marts trying to find a stare with them in stock to do an exchange. My data absolutely sucks. It pisses me off because I love this phone, but can't deal with the ****ty data connection. More often than not my data is either nonexistent or slow as hell. One second I can score out at 7.9 mbps, the next can't even connect to take the test. I've tried changing the apn settings, and it didn't help. I turned off the ciphering, which didn't help.

Before getting the Sensation I was ranked in the top 500 of Homerun Battle 3d. Now, because of losing my data connection I'm not even in the top 1000. Judging from this thread, I don't think an exchange is going to help much.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
people with data issues are you using the sim card that came with the phone or an older sim card? I was having data issues on my g2x before getting a new sim card and now I don't have data issues on the g2x or sensation.... so I suggest trying a new sim card it's FREE :)
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
I absolutely love the phone as well, but I can't live with this issue. It happens way too frequently to be overlooked. What's really ****ty is that I broke my Sprint contract just for this phone, but unfortunately it looks as though it may be going back unless something changes in the next few days.
[HTC Sensation] Apollo-2:
Get some advice from T-Mobile on the issue

Since you got it from Wal-Mart and not a T-Mobile store or corporate, exchanging it will not solve your data issue and not contribute to a solution. You could help all the community however, by calling T-Mobile and telling them specifically about your stuck data experiences. Let them know that you love the Sensation but not having data is really a killer issue. An outright return may not be to your liking, but with enough users making the same observation with regard to connectivity, T-mobile may get the idea, if they don't already know. Also, consider posting this issue at the official forums as well, others will want to know and T-mobile may actually be monitoring those.

I'm using the one that came in my G2. Do I just go into a store and ask for a new one?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
yes, tell them you want a new sim card because you are experiencing data issues
[HTC Sensation] jankyboy:
I encountered the same issue with the SIM that came with the phone and the SIM I took out of my G2.

On another strange note, I seem to get faster download speeds with my G2 SIM than with the one that came with the Sensation. Of course, my test wasn't scientific and network conditions could have changed in the time it took me to swap SIMs.
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
I just got my sensation last night and I've had the "stuck data" issue all day.

I had the same problem with my G1 a while back. It drove me nuts.

As lightforce said earlier I never had the problem with my Nexus One.

When it does connect I'm getting 7mbps+ which is cool. But what good is that speed when you have to wait 15 seconds to connect?!
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
i again had this issue 20 minutes ago. got out of work, decided to search for any t-mobiles nearby, and what do you know, data got stuck when i did voice search. it came back by itself in like 15 seconds, but to get this from a "SUPERPHONE" is ridicolous, not to mention the not so great battery life i am getting, but this could be because its only a day old, and i have only charged it once. i am gonna discharge it fully tonight, and then keep the phone off all night while its charging.

edit: did i mention the sub-par low sound level from the external speakerphone? i mean, how would this speaker be usable for , lets say, voice guidance gps software. how would someone be able to hear any noise coming out of this while driving. my hd2 was really loud while running android. to be honest, i love everything about this phone, but this low speaker issue has really disappointed me and making me think whether i should wait for the Samsung Hercules.
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
Can anyone confirm the new sim works?
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
I connect my Nexus One to my car's speaker system via 3.5 mm cable.

[HTC Sensation] aaronb532:
Unfortunately this isn't a new issue. I don't know if it's an Android, T-Mobile or HTC issue or a combination of all three but I've had this problem on my Nexus One for over a year.

There was a thread on the Nexus One forum that had some troubleshooting options, but no one thing seemed to solve the issue for everyone.

You can check it out here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=384f4daca48e10b1&hl=en

The final consensus indicated it was by being caused by faulty PDP negotiation. I don't know what that means but read the popular answer by Hideki for more details.

Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning but three of the posters in that thread including Hideki and myself are from the Seattle area.

Just got off the phone with Tmo- I'm in Portland Or. and the rep was 50 miles south in Salem Or.

Firstly I would like to thank and appreciate how easy the guide was to install Overcome 1.6.4 on my stock Galaxy tab. This was my first attempt at doing something with andriod devices and the guide helped me complete the whole setup without any issues.

Once completed and everything running smoothly, there is an issue with the display. The display is very grainy - like a light purple haze on the top of screen. It is more noticible when having a white or light background.

Any pointers as to what is causing the issue and hopefully a fix will be much appreciated.

Further more I just noticed that the camera also is taking grainy pictures and the toggle switch for video/camera also not working properly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
So I'm looking to get a spare battery and a separate battery charger and came across this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00520BC3M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=AE3JA6SQN3O85

No reviews so far so I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with Chichitec batteries in general. $30 for 2 batteries (1700 mah) and a charger seems like a good deal, that way I don't really have to spend time being plugged in. Too bad the battery door isn't as easy to open as I'd like to...

If you get them let me know how they work.

Id say run....don't walk run....away from that link.

Cheapo batteries tend to cause perm damage. A el cheapo amazon battery for my g2 bricked one phone and almlost permabricked its replacement.

G2x with faux AOSP and faux orange kernel. oc@1500 5107 quadrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I don't know why people insist on a spare battery to change out each time the other one dies. Not only is it not practical if you can't charge the battery outside of the phone, but you'll be putting wear and tear on the battery cover and sooner or later you'll find it won't sit tight but will be loose in it's fit. That's why I just decided to invest in the 4500mah Mugen, even though I got a free replacement stock battery from Tmobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Chichitec is HTCExpress, their batteries aren't as bad as the ebay "cheapies". I had their 1800 in my Dinc and then G2, worked perfectly fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
The chichitecs come with a separate charger to charge only the spare battery. But yeah, I'm worried that if I open the battery door frequently it will get loose or break.

@GideonX

When you used the chichitecs on those phones, did they at least last as long as the stock battery? That's really all I'm looking for
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I don't necessarily disagree with your reasoning, it is a matter of perspective. It is just interesting how people can look at something differently. I think swapping batteries is a much more elegant solution then adding a gigantic protrusion to my phone. And battery covers are cheap, if it comes to that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
And where can you get G2x battery covers, might I ask?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Yup, actually lasted longer than stock in my case. Im also a very heavy user, voice and data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I've tried to find the post in this forum that had the link to the battery doors. They were actually to the LG Optimus 2x and required purchase of a min of 5 doors. Many have claimed that they have received replacement doors for free, both from T-mobile store and phone representatives.

With that said I must concede that they are not readily available. And I am surprised that 3rd party colorized replacements are not being marketed.

Personally I use accessories that would not work with the oversize cover that I do not want to give up: rubberized case, leather holster, and especially the bicycle mount. I suppose I am willing to take the risk that either the door won't break or if it does I'll be able to acquire the part. By that time there probably be enough dead G2X's around to find one on eBay.

I do have an external battery that recharges the phone, I should probably use it before resorting to swapping internal batteries. It's not that much trouble to use while still using phone, just a small object dangling from the charging/usb port on the phone.

Also, the temp is stuck at the unbelievable 25.2C, which is disappointing. I haven't tried the 2nd battery, which is a different color. so, I downloaded this

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
How is that other battey working???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
both batteries very similar in performance as original, except no temp sensor. Charger charges slow, so it keeps the battery cool during charging. I bought these as backups for my wife, so when she gets the Screen Of Death she can swap in a fresh battery. As I've stated in other posts, if we re-boot once a day, we don't get the SOD. But I can't get her to consistently do that, so she pays about twice a month.

I do wish the temp sensor worked, because I have a profile set in setCpu for over temp, but we are just using these as backups, so...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BIGWORM:
I bought this set from Amazon because I was looking for swapping batteries for my phone and my wife's, who also has a G2x. I'm not sure if it's the methodical charge time with the charger or what, but I'm getting freakishly good battery life, with both the OEM batteries that came with the phone, and the Chichitec batteries. Light to moderate usage, I still have my Chichitec battery at 86% after being on for just shy under 7 hours, from what CM7 Spare Parts is telling me.

I'll be going to bed with the fully charged battery, and go to work with it for a majority of the next day, and swap them out around 11am, and stick the dead one on charge when I get home at 2pm, rinse, repeat. I haven't charged my phone since I bought this set.

Also, for those wondering, like myself, both of these batteries are NON-oem--just one is black like the OEM, and one is red, both of them are Chichitec batteries.
