[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WuZhiHe:
Hi all,

After sorting through xda for a few hours and pouring through the wiki entry and LTE references, I have come to the conclusion that I'm utterly confused about LTE compatability.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_G2#Network_compatibility

Is LTE compatibility so bad that you cannot easily move between countries and still get LTE coverage? Is it foreseeable that this will continue for a long time?

I'm living in NZ right now, and spend quite a bit of time in the United States, so I'm looking for the best LG G2 model to bridge the gap. Near as I can find, I think it will be the Canadian D803 since it covers LTE bands 4,7,and 17. NZ and Australia seem to be going for bands 7 and 8, and the US seems be in 4 (except sprint), and 2 and 17 (except verizon and sprint), with ATT alone on 5 and Verizon alone on 13. Al least according to the wiki for the G2 versions for the US linked above.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands#Deployments_by_region

Is this data correct?

Am I also correct in reasoning that the D802 'global' version in supporting bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20, would not get and LTE support in the US? Has anyone tried this yet?

Thanks for the help and sorry if I missed an existing discussion on this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaffanz:
Kia Ora mate.

The information i believe is correct regarding the D802. I pulled one from mobicity.co.nz. Was recently in the US with a Vodafone HTC One tri-band i purchased from clove.co.uk. (same freqs) With a T-Mobile prepaid simm i was not able to pull any LTE in San Francisco or Manhattan. That said the H band was plenty fast enough (compared to slow as sht NZ anyway) so i wasn't unhappy to not get LTE, but i understand, if you have it why not get it!

The LTE rubbish is reminding me of 3G/H issue where phones came in tri-band with 4 GSM bands to cover all. Its only since the Quad-bands have appeared that the 'portability' problem has gone, now with LTE its all back to sht again! to many bands. I notice one model at least (one from expansys.co.nz) of the Galaxy Note 3 has a massive list of LTE frequencies which of course is the only way phones going forward are going to meet international travellers expectations and capture sufficient LTE bands to be useful and portable. sigh. back to 'come on you plonkers sort it' level of deployment for our phones..

I'd personaly lean towards getting the more international (D802) model and take what you get from the provider of choice in the states. No way i'd want a verizon, at, or tmob purchased model; what with all the bollocks poor yanks have to put up with - stick to international versions.

thats my opinion anyway. good luck bro.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cloves:
Hi everyone,

I have my Nexus 7 connected to an verizon actiontec router. I am getting terrible wifi with WPA2 security enables. Loading websites takes forever and youtube constantly gives network error. I changed the encryption to WEP and its not disconnecting as much but I would prefer to run WPA2.

Anyone have any suggestions on what is causing the lag and disconnects? 2 laptops and 2 android phones no issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
Try switching to 802.11g. The N7 is quite flaky in 802.11n mode with a lot of routers.

If you are using WEP, you are in effect forcing 802.11g mode, since 802.11n requires WPA2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cloves:
Thanks for the reply tni,

Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? Could hardwiring and IP number and switching back to WPA2 possibly fix the issue?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
Driver and/or firmware. The Nexus 4, which has pretty much the same Wifi hardware, also has quite a few complaints about Wifi issues.

It's highly unlikely that a fixed IP will make a difference.

Not sure if that came across, but you can use WPA2 with 802.11g (you need to configure that at the router).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cloves:
Well I changed the router over to WPA2 and then in the advance preferences set it to 'Legacy Mode' to support only 802.11bg and the tablet seems to not be having many hang ups even with youtube. I'll post back if anything changes. Thanks and hopefully this helps a lot of people out there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SgtMarcin:
I'm using N7 2013 with two different routers,

Both with WPA2, and 802.11n.

No problems at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] enlightenme:
Well, I just did a heck of a lot of work on the IEEE 802.11 protocol suite. I am in no way an expert, but I picked up a bunch of interesting factoids.

- In the 802.11n protocol implementation, all devices must have 802.11n supported NICs. This includes all the clients, not just router. If you have even a single device that is doing legacy 802.11b/g while all the other client NICs are doing 802.11n, then the router will not do 802.11n for any device. Yes, all or nothing deal and the router does not show it. I used Wireshark to confirm this situation exists by drilling down a ton of 802.11 data frames. Despite the router staying set in the drop down menu to 802.11n, under the hood, all the devices dropped to 802.11g.

- Even worse, I know I have clients and router NICs that all support 802.11n, yet I get dropped into the 802.11g protocol. To try to find out what happened, I started from scratch. I put my router into 802.11n which lists it as "performance", then added a static IP to my Nexus 7. I immediately had 58Mb/sec. since 58Mb/sec > 54Mb/sec, I figured maybe I did get 802.11n this time since 802.11g gets 54Mb/sec in optimal conditions. When I went to check which protocol my Nexus 7 is using, I moved it in front of me, a distance no more than 18 inches, and saw my signal drop to next to nothing. I pulled up the Nexus 7's WiFi advanced settings to find out that I now only have 5Mb/sec and the protocol is now 802.11g. This means while roaming, if you hit a sufficient enough degradation in the signal, the Nexus 7 drops your 802.11n status like a hot potato and no, you can't get it back unless you reset everything. I mean at least, to date, I have not found a way to keep a device configured to stay with 802.11n even if the bandwidth drops.

Since I was given a drop down menu in my router as to which protocol I wanted to use and since the 802.11n specs say it is all or nothing, I thought that the router would enforce 802.11n and not allow a legacy NIC to connect to it. This is far from the case. Why they even give us a drop down menu if they are always going to do 802.11b/g/n anyway is beyond me.

Now that I have seen Nexus's wireless protocol drop from 802.11n to 802.11g outside of my control, I want to find all devices that misbehave like this and see if there is anything I can do to force the client to stay on 802.11n. Obviously, I also have to eliminate dead and near dead zones.

Just thought I'd share the all the fun I've had getting to this abysmal point. ;)

I will dig into our smart phones and tablets another day to see if I can force it to stay with 802.11n even its Rx signal attenuated for a few seconds.

I hope this helps others and if your experience is different then mine, I'd love to here what your findings are.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] matt55555:
You may be fighting interference not only from the neighbor's WiFi, but appliances in your home. Possible sources for rf noise would include dimmer switches, CRT and plasma screens, microwaves, cordless phones. An rf detector can be bought or built or an am radio tuned between stations can work.

I've seen anywhere from 5mbps to 300mbps connect speed, it can change in one session if the router dynamically adjusts throughput. Also, there may be a power level setting in the router setup to get your signal farther above the noise floor.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

An easy rf detector: single coil electric guitar pickup and cheap practice amplifier sourced from a guitar shop. Ask the guitar tech for a good used p/u, they swap them out all the time.

The wider channels used for faster throughput will be more susceptible to interference than the g standard,IMO.

How?

First, my volume up key DOESNT WORK.

Second, booted (using an app) into recovery, Installed a rom - didn't back up - and got the dreaded "status 7" error message

I found a fix to it (exiting a txt file) but adb WONT recognize my phone (i've tried everything) so I can't sideload the zip

So i'm basically just going to go into download mode and flash the lastest bell firmware

[HTC One S] AKToronto:
Having all sorts of difficulty creating a boot.img from a zImage I have....

I compiled a custom kernel myself with my own tweaks but having all sorts of trouble creating a good boot.img

Ive taken apart a boot img from stock Maximus (i am on new firmware, etc), and when I put it back together, trying a few tools and different, it never seems to work for me... However, I always seem to be able to fastboot boot zImage, to get a working boot (but as we all know that is temporary).

Is there a way to simply "catch" the boot.img that fastboot creates and temporarily flashes to your device? Is there a temp folder fastboot works with or something that I can access?

As soon as he left the hospital, he could not get back into the Gallery. When he clicks on it it says "No External Storage Available" whether we have an SD card in or out. The pics were not saved to his card and must be on the internal memory. I have also tried differnt SD cards with more storage, and still the same error. The weird thing is, behind the screen saying the above, you can still see all the categories where the pics were saved, and the number of pics in eac folder. You just cant access them. I"m not much of a software guy and wanted to know if there was any tricks around this. I have changed 50+ LCD/Digitizer screens on these and have seen the replacement of that part fix many strange problems not seemingly related.

How were you doing them on a Mac? What was the process, I mean.. I would imagine that you could use Heimdall and load the TWRP image with it, in order to get the custom recovery, then root/install SU after that on the device.

I'm not sure if Heimdall is actually going to work with the gt3, but it's worth a shot.. It's the only cross-platform image writer, for Samsung devices, that I know of. I could be wrong, however. ;)

1. Install most recent Heimdall from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265

2. Open Heimdall frontend from applications folder of your Mac.

3. Put device into download mode with power+vol down+home. Will sometimes require multiple attempts. When successful you will see warning about adding custom software to your device.

4. Click utilities tab of Heimdall and detect device.

5. Download pit file to your Mac with the save as dialouge.

6. Click on flash tab of Heimdall.

7. Select pit file you just created

8. Hit add partition select RECOVERY and then select the custom recovery you have already dowloaded from the other threads. Extract to .img before selecting the recovery though. Make sure repartition is NOT selected

9. I unchecked no reboot and resume. (Near bottom right by the start button)

10. Hit start.

11. Verify by restarting with power+vol up
