[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
Over the weekend, while out and about, I started noticing the same GPS instability that my first unit had (long acquisition times and occasionally losing lock, though not quite as bad as the old one). I'm beginning to think that "LG" stands for "Lousy GPS." Even my old F3's GPS would occasionally go catatonic.

Out of the four Androids I've had, the Galaxy Avant has the best GPS by a long shot. The Galaxy S Relay Not-Really-4G isn't quite as good, but isn't too bad, either. Both LGs (F3 and Stylo) leave a lot to be desired.

I just did the manual 5.1.1 update. I doubt it'll help much with GPS issues, but it's worth a shot. After the backup, I followed the steps to the letter. It took its sweet time rebuilding the cache, but now I at least have 5.1.1 and an unlocked bootloader. Also have to re-un-nerf the camera and re-edit my quick settings buttons. Just rebooted to recovery and... drumroll... TWRP is still there.

Also, 277634#*# still works to get the hidden menu.

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Well, I spoke too soon about the camera. The manual controls are still "available" but are no longer working after I fiddled with them. The new camera app is NOT an upgrade.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
I'll give that a try soon. Meanwhile, I'm backing up my photos, and I'll try clearing the LG camera's data, just in case there's something stale from the old version causing me trouble. I've also installed SDFix to prepare for installing XCam.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

XCam is now up and running. So far, I like what I see. Otherwise, I'd be either reverting back to the 5.0 firmware or else fishing the camera APK out of the 5.0 backup. The stock 5.1.1 camera's manual mode just doesn't work - I can't set ISO, if I try to set shutter speed I can do it once and once only, the EV +/- button doesn't work, a bunch of other buttons are just non-functional dots, etc.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
In the camera config.xml did you happen to change it to true and yes on all the settings and include all of the other ISO settings that you had? Who knows they might have just changed it in the configuration and all you have to do is put it back in
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
all i did myself was change manual mode to true and im having the same problems hes having...im wondering if clearing all the camera data and then wiping cache and dalvik will help...unless there are other settings in the camera config.xml i need to change that i didnt know about...
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
That's what I'm saying when I went through and enabled manual mode I also went through I also enabled the RAW format and changed a couple of the ISO settings myself there are other options in there that you can play with and perhaps tweak it and make it better
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ardaz87:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Which stylo? metro or tmobile?

I wont recommend rooting using this current method it may brick your device,

But if you are using either metro or tmobile if that happen you can use the kdz file to unbrick and back to normal is up to you
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ardaz87:
I have the Tmobile variant. Ill wait till its safe then lol.

BAND 12

Anyone enable Band 12 pre-root?

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
It should have Band 12 enabled from the get-go, even without updating to 5.1.1. I was picking up Band 12 towers in Michigan last month around Holland, Grand Rapids, Mt. Pleasant, Midland, and Lansing. At the time, it was unrooted.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] AP2FTW:
ok well i just changed the raw files setting to true....there was also one other setting i changed to true besides manual but i forgot what it was. i rebooted and i still couldnt change the shutter speed or anything else. i cleared all the data and cache in the camera app, rebooted to recovery and wiped caches, after i rebooted i was able to change the shutter speed once again, and now its all greyed out again :(

how do you know if you are getting band 12 or not im curious?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] horsecharles:
Keeping in mind I'm still unrooted, I use LTE Discovery:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dlte+discovery&pcampaignid=APPU_1_3yCbVeS1GoKW-AGTu4GACw
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
I'm definitely liking XCam, even if it doesn't have a direct shutter speed control. The large selection of modes makes up for the lack of full manual control.

Most reliable way: Bring up the dialer, and key in 277634#*# (also works on G4). At the second # it should bring up the hidden menu; choose Engineering Mode. You can then use the Next/Previous buttons to cycle through the displays until you get to ITEM_LTE. The LTE info display will show you what band and bandwidth you're getting from the tower. Note that Band 12 is only 5 MHz wide; not great for speed, but the 700 MHz band offers better range and building penetration than Band 2 PCS (1900) or Band 4 AWS (1700/2100).

Less reliable but more convenient: run SignalCheck. This is less reliable because it has to guess from cell identification data, since the actual frequency data is not directly available (or varies by manufacturer).

I'm on band 12 5mhz. My speeds are 1.5 mb download I have unlimited 4g lte it's slow! And tethering using WiFi tether router I'm getting 150kb or less. It's worthless, my f6 was way faster tethering I'd get 5mb. I don't understand what the problem is,

Is there a way to change the band's for speed? That is If this is my low speed issues.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku Azhurlar:
For all of you guys flipping about speeds. Think this way. A connection is set by plan speed and amount of connections in other words. More people using data on the same tower. Slower ping and speeds. That's why you can never get data at a concert
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Before blaming the phone for this let me ask a question,

1- Are you getting this speeds everywhere you go?

If the answer is No then is not the phone,

If is yes then may be is the phone,

2- Which LP version you are running?

3- Are you using stock APN or Modified one?

4- Tmo or Metro

About question 3 i have a feeling is a modified/ different apn from stock if you are doing Unlimited Tether.

Bcuz same as others i get good speeds in or outdoors.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DB225:
I wasn't getting these low speeds with the Samsung Galaxy Mega. I got a consistent 30mbp down indoors and 100mbp out doors. When I used Unjustified's CM21 test rom this morning I was getting 20/30mpb indoors. So it's something to do with the stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

I'm on Metro pcs. I found that using T-Mobiles APN works better than Metro PCS. I'm thinking they are throttling their speeds even if you are on Unlimited. I can't say about that tethering thing the other guys is doing.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DB225:
Seems like its the Metro variant that is getting slow speeds. I'm thinking it's something Metro PCS is doing.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobby Tables:
One thing to keep in mind about Band 12: it's going to be slower than Band 2 or Band 4, since only 5 MHz is available (except for the in-progress buildout in North Dakota, where they have 10 MHz for Band 12). The main purpose of Band 12 is to improve reception in hard-to-cover areas such as inside buildings or locations farther from towers.

I don't see anything obvious in the hidden menus for forcing band selection (that seems to be more of a Samsung thing).

FWIW, at home, indoors, I get about 30-36 Mbps down and about 6-12 Mbps up, in a wood-frame house about 1/4 mile from the nearest tower. This is on 15 MHz Band 4, with a T-Mobile phone.

I'm still not sold on the Stylo's GPS - its performance is highly inconsistent and sometimes downright horrible, even on my replacement unit. It's positively infuriating to hear Google Maps say "GPS signal lost!" when I'm not in a tunnel or surrounded by tall buildings, even though GPS Toolbox is reporting 20+ satellites visible.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] xantanion:
I am on metro and mine is faster than my buddys note 4 on T-Mobile so i think its your specific phone
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DB225:
