[Verizon LG G3] Koroz:
COMPLETELY anecdotal and I hope people who read this understand I am not implying they are or aren't but just sharing my thoughts and what happened to me, but I just switched FROM sprint because I was buffering YouTube every 3 seconds, turns out I was stuck on the only 4g tower in my area which is about 20 miles south of me which was netting me like .80-1Mb down and even slower up. It wouldn't connect to the 3g towers near me even though I would "speed test" @ 1.5 / .75 which is faster.

We tried the Airave didn't work. We wouldn't get calls.

Went in bought VZW phones because when I first moved to WA I had VZW and it was great coverage in the same area (Back when 4g first hit with thunderbolt etc in my area) and I never had a problem playing Netflix or YouTube back then. When I would drive from Seattle to San Diego the only place I would lose coverage is a small little town in central Cali where the mountains block any available signal for any carrier.

So as you can imagine after 3 years fighting with sprint I was actually pretty excited to finally get back on Big Reds network even though now they don't offer unlimited. So excited that I got in my truck, paired my head-unit to my phone and went for a drive. Popped in YouTube, and wham, the buffering is even WORSE then Sprint and I have killer signal to VZW towers here. It buffered from the second we left my WiFi range until we hit the super-mall.

We were going into the store to add wife's discount and get some accessories picked up anyway and while they were small talking, I asked him about the situation and he said "Oh that's because you are switching towers constantly" and says "Hold on, I need to speak with my manager" came back and finished our insurance / discounts setup, I understand he most likely went back to talk about setting up our account how we asked and not related to my question. Walked out of the mall (while in the mall I only had access to 3g so I couldn't show them what I was talking about) and had a 4g signal all the way home with ZERO buffering and have not had a problem since.

So I figure one of two things in "my situation" were happening. Either they were throttling me as a new customer until I complained (I had this same sort of situation happen on their FIOS service in NY, but again I can't prove they are doing it then either just was having connectivity issues until I complained on both netflix and youtube) or, as a new customer and being a new phone I just activated 5 minutes before leaving for the store and it was still "Syncing" everything.

/shrug. I just know that 99% of what I use on my phone these days is youtube or rdp so if half of what I use the service for doesn't work I'll have to either move to a new house or just deal with it until ISP throughput gets a little less stingy in the US.
[Verizon LG G3] sebastianraven:
So, I was at the gym last night and could not get a single YouTube Video to play. Buffering was so bad I finally quit. I called VZW at 11 pm and didn't realize I would get an actual Tech Support Rep on the phone.

We went through a ton of processes and finally it came out that a YouTube update just blows. Once I deleted the update EVERYTHING was blazing again.

My frustration was there because I was moving at almost 80 Mbps.

[Verizon LG G3] Koroz:
you missed the entirety of his posts meaning.

We don't care what causes unlimited users to use their UNLIMITED plan. Unlimited shouldn't mean "Unlimited until we decide to throttle you". That isn't unlimited, that is limited by speed over a certain cap. The other issue his post addresses is this marketing bs about "overloading services" Its CRAP. Verizon rents out their network space, they rent out their towers, they don't mind if you use 40 gigs, if you pay for it!

This idea that network related traffic is so expensive that we need to pay these outrages prices is ludicrous. If your network is saturated, quit renting it out to non customers. It's a way to fleece people for more money. You are assuming they are doing it for "Good" reasons because you work there. I can tell you as someone who worked for an international tier 2 trunk/backbone provider as an engineer (Epoch, I was based out of LA Data Center / Operations Center in the BofA building downtown) it's bs. They are only limiting users because they know they can profit from it. Saturation isn't an issue on their network.

Hmm I'll try this right now, thanks for the tip!
[Verizon LG G3] distortedloop:
You clearly did not read my post thoroughly and make many inaccurate assumptions about what my point was. You seem a bit emotional about it as well.

I specifically said I don't support Verizon’s position and acknowledged it was probably a money grab.

However, Verizon doesn't have to address limited users; they already pay more and they already self regulate.

Verizon has ZERO obligation to let you keep unlimited data once your contact has reached term. Consider yourself lucky that they're just going to throttle you instead of fixing you to a limited plan.

And remember, I've got two unlimited lines on expired contracts myself so I've got no jealous axe to grind over this issue.
[Verizon LG G3] Koroz:
You tell me I miss the point, but what is your point? In the start of your post you say you don't support their actions, and you think that its a money grab. But toward the end, you say we should feel lucky that they grace us with unlimited still even if it is going to cap it. One idea doesn't jive with the other to me. I should never feel "lucky" that a company has become to a point where good taste and consumer rights are a back seat to profits and greed. /shrug.

And yes, I am emotional. I do have personal beef with Verizon. I am mad because I left Verizon until yesterday because of the change to unlimited and how they kinda played word games to us as customers about how they were going to handle it in the future. They never said when we were told about this they were going to throttle us, they never told us they were going to make us pay full price to upgrade. I then read the fact they are basically allowing our privacy to be violated without even a whimper, direct line access to their trunks. But I came back because Sprint and T-mobile coverage where I live is non existent. So for me, I have no CHOICE in the matter I have to go with the greedy company. But in my everyday life you will NEVER hear me say "You should just be happy this company is trying to fleece you for every last penny!"..

Maybe its my age, maybe its my innate distrust for corporations, maybe its because I feel like complacency is an enemy to the Republic. I just can't sit and be quiet when I read about people saying I should be happy about someone ripping me off and lying to me for the reason they are doing it. I dunno, but either way it's not worth arguing about because its opinion. So have a good one either way.
[Verizon LG G3] distortedloop:
TL;DR.

I suggest you relax and just be happy with your unlimited data until Verizon actually does something with it to make you so miserable.

That's what I'm doing.
[Verizon LG G3] Koroz:
No thank you. Complacency is the enemy of the Republic and its about time people start acting like it. If you want to be taken for a ride and smile while doing it that's fine, but don't tell me to accept their bs because "you" think life is better with your head in the sand. I don't follow the herd.
[Verizon LG G3] distortedloop:
Enemy of the Republic? What are you smoking? What does the Republic have to do with this? Verizon isn't the Republic, it's a private business that hasn't done anything to you yet.

Whining in a forum like this isn't going to change Verizon. Take your anger to the source and call Verizon or the FCC and put your energies into something useful instead of attacking me for pointing out Why Verizon is talking about we unlimited users. By the way the FCC had already expressed concern to Verizon for this proposal, so take a deep breath and see what comes of that.

I'm not complacent, I just haven't experienced anything from Verizon to make me an unhappy customer at this time. If they ever throttle me unfairly, I'll address it by complaining to them or taking my business elsewhere.
[Verizon LG G3] Koroz:
Dude you work/ed for them you aren't a real credible source when talking about if what they are doing should be considered bad business practice or not.. Talk about having a little bit of bias in the conversation. And if you can't connect the dots between people being complacent toward corporations lying to them, and how that directly results into the same thing in other areas of life then you are either being disingenuous which I think is the case, or you are more comfortable not seeing anything for what it is because you feel safer that way.

Trying to further discredit what I said by saying I am only whining on this forum also goes even further to prove my point. I wasn't whining at all I explained you missed the point of a posters intent on his post and you went down this road of defending your position on why we should take the lies Verizon sold as and be happy. I then pointed out how weird it was that you in the start of your post condemn them for what they do yet then argue in the next paragraph we should be happy they are doing it to us. Your whole series of posts in this thread are confused and biased. Come on now. If you want to continue this conversation we can do it in pm's I'm sure people are tired of reading this. Will be my last response to anything related to this conversation in this thread.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jimmyjoebob:
On the C6806 GPe (original, no mods, no root), does the auto dim do anything, does it work?

I can't seem to make mine work.

When I go to settings>display>brightness, enable auto dim, the screen seems to keep bright.

When enabled the power widget button for brightness does nothing, it keeps autodim 'A' enabled no matter what.

With autodim disabled (via settings>display>brightness), the power widget has three brightness settings. It doesn't had the autodim option like on the nexus devices.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
I think it does. Try putting in sunlight with auto brightness and see if it works by getting brighter. Mine works.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jimmyjoebob:
I tried that, it does make the display brighter, at least.

I'm just disappointed that it doesn't dim very much in the dark and that the power widget doesn't cycle through the levels when autodim is enabled.

thanks

Hi,

then someone call me, i can't hear the person, and the person can't hear me.

In Viber, when someone call me, i can't hear the person, but the person can hear me.

What is the problem ? My HTC One M7 from Sprint is unlocked, in order to use in FRANCE. I'm turning on ViperOne Sense 6, Android 4.4.2, Hboot 1.44, i'm rooted, S-OFF and my bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks for your help :)

----------------

Bonjour,

lorsque j'appelle quelqu'un ou que quelqu'un m'appelle, je ne peux pas attendre la personne, mais la personne ne m'entend pas non plus.

Sur Viber, je ne peux pas l'entendre mais la personne quand à elle peut m'entendre.

Quel est le soucis ? Mon HTC One M7 de Sprint est débloqué, dans le but de pouvoir l'utiliser en FRANCE. J'ai flashé ViperOne Sense 6, Android 4.4.2, Hboot 1.44, je suis rooté, S-OFF et le bootloader est unlocked.

Merci pour votre aide :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DouglasPL:
Hello,*

Now, after a few days in UK (cane from Poland), and after many question asked on polish forums, my problem is not resolved.. Nobody even know, what causing this problem. Let me start from the beginning: I bought use, black HTC One M7 which came with a charger that has UK connector plug. I thought "okay, it is a phone from UK distribution". The phone works great until my trip to uk.. Just after landing, I switched off the airplane mode and saw a signal and roaming (polish Sim card). So, I tried to call on English and Polish numbers, with proper dial +44.. Dialing ends in one second, without any signal.. There is only information, that area is not supported.. Alright then, I bought *the English orange Sim card. Put it on my HTC and.... *The same problem!! I cannot make calls, and texts or receive *both of them...*

What is curious: on polish sim card I can still use the mobile data Internet...*

Anyone, help me. It's just annoying, that a phone like m7 has such a problem. BTW, I'm on original 4,4 kit kat android, never rooted.*

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Have you checked your mobile network settings? It is in Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode check to see if it is set for GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto. Check to see what network operators are present. I'll do some more checking to see if I can find out anything else.

One other thought, did you enable international roaming with your carrier?

What is the OS version? You can find it in About -> Software information either ROM version or Software number? If it is x.xx.651.xx then it is a US Sprint phone and it is not a good international version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DouglasPL:
So the GSM/WCDMA/LTD AUTO is selected. Operators that is shows are: O2, Orange, Orange T-Mobile, Vodafone.. All checked and same problem.. Well at orange T-Mobile when I try to call it's shows not area not supported but "call ended"... Before it's actually began.

Appreciate your help mate :)

Is your Orange card activated? Just take "GSM only" and try to make a call. Could you check with a friend that you can make calls with both your Orange and Polish sim?

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

And check this also;

1. Find "Call barring settings"

Press the menu icon.

Press Settings.

Press Call.

Press Call barring settings.

2. Select barring type

The current settings will be displayed.

Press one of the following options:

All outgoing

Outgoing international

Outgoing international roaming

All incoming

Incoming calls when roaming

If you select Outgoing international, no international calls can be made, except when you're abroad, you can still call home.

If you select Incoming calls when roaming, you can't receive incoming calls when you take your phone abroad. Incoming calls will be rejected by the network and the call won't go through.

3. Select setting Key in the barring password (default is 0000) and press OK.

Click here for more information about the barring password.

4. Exit Press the Home key to return to standby mode.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DouglasPL:
Today I went to Orange and talked with them about my problem. Guy just looked at my phone and said: "in UK we were not selling a black version of HTC One. Mine is probably from Germany or Switzerland. My phone because of that, doesn't have a correct signal band, and I cannot use it in UK.. Same issues have students from Spain." I went to the Vodafone and I saw... Available, black version of HTC One...

You can close this thread. Answer to my problem is: my HTC was reported, that is stolen or lost. They blocked it then in UK market, so I can't use it here. Fortunately, I'm coming back to Poland in one week. Cheers everyone for helping me out.

This might b a dumb question but if I root my Verizon note 3 NC4 will I b able to fix the known signal and GPS issues associated with the new 4.4.2 Ota software update? ? Had the note 2 i605 and it had a lot better signal before I rooted it !!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
Update your modem by flashing the latest firmware. Or try a factory reset. Rooting alone does nothing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Yes you can.

This is a possible fix for common GPS issues on 4.4.2.

Use a root explorer and browse to system/etc. Find the file "GPS.conf", long press it open in text editor. Change the 0 to a 3 at lte position profile. Save and Reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fr3quency:
First of all, I don't have any knowledge on Xperia phones(Nexus 4 user)(had unlocked a se xperia neo v once but it pwned my brain)

Secondly, this idiotic 15 year old installed Mcafee and doesn't remember the password. I tried rebooting into recovery and doing a factory reset but it turns out Xperia phones don't have a recovery(??) (lame)

Thirdly, I clicked on 'forgot pin' on mcafee app when xperia boots, but it says I don't have an internet connection. THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RESET THE DAMN PASSWORD?? (The sim has 600+ mb data)

Fourthly, oh my god who the hell uses such crap apps if they cannot even remember a password?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fr3quency:
I think I got it. Managed to reset mcafee security but it won't get past lockscreen. And the kid can't explain through the phone(it's the son of my friend's friend) Thing is I will get paid for fixing it and installing CyanogenMod. So, it's urgent for me. :P

Is the Phone(xperia T) by chance rooted? :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fr3quency:
No root and I don't believe the kid has enabled usb debugging. Plus, I cannot get past the screen pattern as he cannot explain it (he's Ukrainian and I'm Greek, so I need my friend to translate) I have downloaded the Sony Update Service but it doesn't list Xperia T under the devices. I also got an .ftf file which I don't know what to do with it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadHatter3112:
By sony update service do you mean Sony Pc Companion? when i broke my T(rooted) without access to recovery and, before i learned about flashtool i used Sony PC Companion's support zone to repair phone and install stock ROM and so i had to root my phone again. If this DOES work for you here's the link to Flashtool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 or you can download DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333577 . for rooting purposes. Hope this helps :good: Oh and keep the .ftf file, it''l be required if you choose to use flashtool after rooting :)

Ps. to enter Flashmode you have to keep holding down the volumeDOWN button while you plug in the phone.(Not sure, But the GREEN LED light will lightup. for fastboot it's the opposite, VolumeUP button.(BLUE LED) might have mixed up the buttons :eek:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fr3quency:
PC companion couldn't work because I couldn't get pass through the lockscreen pattern. The tried explaining it when my friend first contacted him but he didnt make any sense, he said. xD

I tried flashtool and downloaded latest firmware, everything worked awesome! I have disabled some apps as well as mcafee so he won't do the same mistake again. Thanks guys! :)
