[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkruger206:
Neither WiFi calling or VoLTE will not work on the Sony Z5 unless your carrier/network offers the Sony Z5 for sale directly.

Note, WiFi Calling and VoLTE are two separate features but similar network functions on the operators side.

Note, MetroPCS is a sub-brand of the T-Mobile USA network so Metro is pretty much TMo USA.

Since T-Mobile USA does not offer the Z5 you will not be able to get WiFi calling working. In order for WiFi Calling or VoLTE to be supported the network operator must customize the ROM to include the WiFi calling and/or VoLTE network configurations. Unlike the typical SIM card and APN settings which are industry standard and can be adjusted manually. WiFi calling and VoLTE are somewhat more complex and include carrier/network specific security certificates to work. Apple can get away with supporting WiFi calling and VoLTE simply by swapping SIMs because the T-Mobile configs are loaded into their core iOS software which goes out to everyone around the world. (Probaly one of the reasons the iOS eats up so much storage...but i digress) Android runs much leaner and does not carry all the extra configs for all global networks...hence a carrier (i.e. T-Mo US) tweaked version of the Z5 ROM would be required for this all to work.

If T-Mobile USA offers the Z5 in the future you may be able to unlock the boot-loader and flash the T-Mobile specific ROM onto your phone and get WiFi Calling and VoLTE to work. But if T-Mo USA never offers the Z5 then you will never have WiFi calling supported.

Hope that helps....

WiFi calling and VoLTE are pretty much the same thing...just VoIP. And in most operators case WiFi Calling and VoLTE are the same back end network call processing systems. VoLTE is easier for the operator to secure as the customer is using the operators LTE and IP network. WiFi calling is seen on fewer operators as it requires more security since you can access the operators network from any public or private IP network.

and in theory you could extract the WiFi calling stack form the EE network's Z5 ROM and load it into a custom ROM. That would give you the software capability to support WiFi calling....But you will still need the T-Mobile USA WiFi calling fqdn for the WiFi border controller and their security certificates which are typically specific to a handset model. And again since TMo does not offer the Z5 there are no Z5 certificates.

Some network providers have their own apps to allow it. Like in the UK, O2 network has an app called TU go
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sci2:
All hope isn't lost - Android M is supposed to have a provision for wifi calling. I've read posts of people with Nexus 6's on M (google play editions, so no carrier specific models) that have been able to use wifi calling. The current loss of band 12 (hoping this will change too) as well as the loss of wifi calling as a fallback has been the only drawback to this otherwise excellent handset. I absolutely love the thing. It just works, no fuss.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizenyasuya:
I know this isn't helpful, especially for those outside of the US, but this is why I ported my number to google voice a long time ago. VOIP works great over Wifi for me most of the time and when I have LTE reception, I can still use Voip albeit with increased data consumption.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adrift98:
Do you know of any guides for how this is supposed to work? I have Google Voice, and I have Hangouts, but I'm not sure how they're supposed to work in tandem for wi-fi calling. Would I be forced to actually open up the Google Voice app in order to make wi-fi calls? How is that any different from something like Talkatone?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizenyasuya:
Yeah, that's a bit of a pain in the ar$3. I install google voice and hangouts on any phone/tablet I get, Google voice is necessary to route all outgoing calls through GV so that my GV number shows up on my call partner's caller ID. (even though you can dial directly from the native phone dialer) I install Hangouts to manage sms and google talk (now just google hangouts but specified to avoid... or contribute to, (as the case may be) confusion) messages. You can also dial directly from Google Hangouts (this is the only option when you're only using Wifi, without cellular signal) So my thought flow kinda goes like this.

To make a call:

1)check for cell signal, if there is signal, use the native dialer to place a call

2) if there is only WiFi, use hangouts (or hangouts dialer) to place a call

Receiving calls: (If you need help I can tell you the specific settings)

1)when the phone rings, determine if it's ringing via Hangouts or the native phone app

2) check for cellular signal and wifi signal

3) if cell signal is 2g only, only answer with the native phone app (sometimes hangouts will ring first) and I have to wait for the native phone app to realize there is a call coming in (forwarded of course to my cellular provider number from GV)

4)if connected to WiFi, or I have LTE coverage (sometimes even on 3g) pick up the hangouts ring.

Sometimes I do miss calls because I'm waiting for the native phone app to ring when I'm on 2g, but hangouts rings first and the native phone app doesn't ring, but those instances are fairly infrequent and I can just call them back.

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

Also, sorry I've never used Talkatone, so I don't know if it works any differently. You don't have to have google voice installed to make / receive wifi calls via hangouts. you just have to have opted in to hangouts on your google voice account. The ONLY reason I still install GV is to make sure that when I make outgoing calls from the native phone app, my GV number shows up on the recipient's caller ID. They should really just bake this into hangouts and completely depreciate the GV app.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BettlePimp:
I was using stock firmware and all of a sudden today the phone stuck into a boot loop. I flashed the stock firmware all the way back to 4.4.4 with Odin but right after the successful message I get on odin the phone restarts and it gets into the same boot loop. I suspected it might have been an issue with the partition since when I first got the phone 6 months ago I used a pit file in odin (I know I shouldn’t have) but the phone still worked fine. Now I googled the N910F+pit file, downloaded the first pit file I found, flashed it together with the kit kat stock rom but the results are still the same. I’ve tried flashing the stock lollipop rom for my Country and different countries with the same result. I have also tried flashing CF-Auto-Root and TW but odin gives an error and I get an error on the phone as well. One error that I have gotten which was not consistent since I can’t reproduce the result was “Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock”.

I would really appreciate any input.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgiadiy:
I'm in the same situation exactly. At the moment I'm trying to download UK 5.1 to play with odin once again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerbiii:
did you manage to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guts100:
It looks like your problem is that you forgot to turn off the samsung activation lock before flashing. If you forgot what that is see this I have not used this feature on my phone; however, I would suggest wiping with odin then flash the official stock ROM for your phone that you previously had on it when it did work, hopefully it will boot then login to you samsung account when it asks you about the reactivation lock. There are some activation lock bypass methods out there if you do a quick google search. Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BettlePimp:
The reactivation lock is indeed on. "Reactivation Lock(KK): On"

I have no way of turning it off since I'm stuck in a boot loop no matter what firmware I flash through Odin.

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revonik:
I have same problem on my SM-910H

This problem was after updating 5.1.1 and isntallind micro-sd card (128gb)

In 4-5 days after this, bootloop began.

I deisntalled micro sd, checked it in computer for mistakes, fixed it and after this phone worked fine.

Today same problem, but when I deisntall micro-sd my problem does not go away.

I downgraded phone to 4.4 - does not help

Data wipe, cache wipe etc - does not help...

Waiting for solution from proffesionals (

update^

I've found 4 file Factory firware and tried to falsh it

What does Odin say:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niceguy1430:
Do this, it worked for me. In ODIN, just AP/PDA Autoroot md5 file. It will not be successful and you will get "FAILED" message. Disconnect the phone from PC, pull out battery. Reinsert the battery and boot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taxxghost:
The same happened to me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revonik:
To all with this problem. My history:

1. Suddenly my stock device go in bootloop

2. Tried to flash it with official software it does not help

3. Tried to flash it with 3 or 4 file service firmware - did not help

4. Service center (not official, that was service center of my internet market) falshed it with some firmware and sad do not update it. It helped for 2 days.

5. They replaced the motherboard. Only this can help.

So, if you have bootloop in your stock device - try to falsh it with firmware if it does not help - take it to service center and say that they do not spent their and your time and change device or mother board.

Now its ok, working fine.

Wrote it because I spent a lot of time to repair it and maby it will help to some one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappcam:
Hi. I have a couple of questions on rooting my Note 4.

I'm running unrooted stock 5.1.1 on my SaskTel (Canadian) 910W8.

What are my steps to rooting my device currently? I see a lot of talk about using Odin to put the Bell firmware on, installing TWRP through Odin, installing SuperSU and installing a custom kernel but those instructions seem to imply I'm not currently on 5.1.1 or I'm already running a rooted 5.0.1 or earlier device.

Is there no easy chainfire type of method?

I just basically want to run stock rooted 5.1.1 on my device.

Thanks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldraan:
In recent days, I've often needed to press my Nexus 4's power button 2 or 3 times to turn the screen on. I believe since the time I applied the OTA update to LMY48T. I never had this problem while running any previous Android builds.

Has anyone else noticed this? I don't think there's anything physically wrong with the power button. It's as if the device is simply a little harder to wake up.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elonus:
What about when you turn your screen off? Does it always work then or do you need a couple of tries then too?

Do you use a custom kernel? If so have you messed with the cpu frequencies? A to low screen-off frequency could cause this issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldraan:
It can happen when trying to turn off the screen too.

I'm not using a custom kernel, and I haven't done anything with the CPU frequencies. The only updates that have ever been installed are the official OTA updates.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
I think this is not related to the software; but the hardware. How old is your phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldraan:
Nearly 3 years old. But it's hardly ever used -- it's not my primary phone. My partner's Nexus 4 is doing the same thing. It is also running LMY48T and has also only started experiencing this problem recently. I'm convinced it's not a physical problem with the hardware. Oh well, in a few months time when CyanogenMod 13 is available for the Nexus 4 I'll try that out and then know for sure.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xabzzz:
Hello,

I need to replace (again) my Z1c screen and it will be the 2d time I do this in a few months.

For your info, I'm not a phone repairman, but a crafed old person who used to work in high precision watches.

Looking for a screen replacement on the internet, I saw that sometimes screen replacements are prosposed "WITHOUT FRAME".

So, my question is : when should one replace a screen "with a frame" ?

Cheers to all
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonfensu:
Buy a Screen with frame only if the front frame is damaged. Otherwise, buy the screen alone with proper adhesive.

Removing the front frame from middle frame is a difficult task and you will loose watterproof feature. Also you must remove the back cover to replace the front frame beacause there are some screws that attach the back frame with the front frame
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xabzzz:
Hello Jonfensu,

Thank you very much for your clear answer. I appreciate !

One more question though : Except if the front frame is obviously damaged, how do you know it is eventually damaged (no evident sign) ?

Cheers to you !

[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Anyone who bought a nexus device this year probably has followed the saga of the 810 and its thermal related issues which have been all over the news.

It is now clear that no version (or revision) of the 810 can operate at its max frequency for very long before thermal controls kick in and throttle the device to lower frequencies.

Throttling comparison snapdragon 810 vs 808:

The 810 v2.1 revision was supposed to fix all this, but an in depth look at the v2.1 "revision" shows the 810 v2.1 still throttles like crazy which will lead to the same poor performance and battery drain associated with other 810 devices.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9388/comparing-snapdragon-810-v2-and-v21

"there’s noticeably less throttling on the A57 cluster compared to Snapdragon 810 v2. However even with that change - and unlike the Snapdragon 808 and competing SoCs - both variants of the Snapdragon 810 still see the unfortunate characteristic of ultimately forcing all threads off of the A57 cluster to stay within TDP limits in high load conditions, such as when running Basemark OS II’s battery test."

All the 810's problems are well documented at this point, and its obvious LG and Motorola made the right choice to use the 808 in lieu of the 810 for their flagships. Every 810 device released suffers from excess heat generation and must throttle down processing power so quickly that the device's performance suffers during average usage.

@ my fellow 5X users - be glad our device comes with the 808 and not the 810.
[Nexus 5X General] oscillik:
you should've added a disclaimer stating that your post has an extremely tenuous link to either of the new Nexus phones since the graph shown is not related to either of the Nexus phones, and doesn't take into consideration, for example, the fact that the Nexus 6P has an all aluminium body.
[Nexus 5X General] _jordan_:
Thanks for your input. The htc one M9 also has an all aluminum body and a snapdragon 810. It was one of the first devices to suffer heating related issues because of the 810.

As proven by anandtech, having an all aluminum body or using excessive thermal paste (xiaomi mi note pro) won't keep the 810 from overheating.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9388/comparing-snapdragon-810-v2-and-v21

Mi note pro 810 overheating even with excessive thermal reducing design elements, including paste:

[Nexus 5X General] oscillik:
So you've just proved my point again, it seems?

The HTC One M9 doesn't have version 2.1, and the Mi Note Pro has a glass back...

When you've got some graphs that are actually pertinent to these phones, then this thread will make sense. At the moment, it's just FUD.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

The problem with cooling is the SoC typically has a big DRAM chip stuck over the top of it which means the type of case doesn't really help with cooling as the heat just can not transfer quick enough out of the SoC when under full load.

To be fair its in the design that only bursty usage is able to run at full performance. Even Intel CPUs throttle on benchmarks despite huge fans and heatsinks. Phones are not really games consoles and high clocking CPUs are driven more by marketing with best case ratings being the headline which soon falls flat with artificial benchmarks.

For usage the device is designed for they perform well, but push them and it becomes obvious oir smart phones are not water cooled super computers.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] King p1n:
LG GFlex 2 is a poor implementation and representation of the 810.

Test it against the newer 810 devices and lets come back and discuss.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

M9 does have the 2.1...

ALL phones that use 810 have 2.1...

Qualcomm has essentially said 2.1 is an update to drivers of the chip, nothing more.
[Nexus 5X General] ttg:
While I've also preferred the N5X because of size (though once I got it I hope it could be smaller... :( ),

The 808 was part of the decision. I hoped for a device that isn't frying your hand.

I won't go extreme on saying how the 810 is bad. is it a design failure? maybe. but it's still capable and even reliable when underclocked as latest devices and reviews showed.

In addition to that,

- The N6P was reviewed and I haven't read much complaints about overheating keeping benchmarks usually good/on par but as with the N5X not at the top.

(but as always new OS means kernel changes that might impact benchmarks?)

- The processor is only part of the system and usually they include benefits of SoC. that's the reason why the N6P got better camera features for example.

The only sad thing is I think that at the N5X price ranges they could've provided additional USB-C -> USB-A cable and stick 3GB of RAM.
[Nexus 5X General] RueTheDay:
Let's be honest here - Qualcomm SOCs have been a disaster for the past 2 years, since they got caught flat footed by Apple's release of the 64 bit A7 (and I can't stand Apple).

- 801/805 was them trying to milk their old architecture for everything it was worth.

- 810 was an abortion with overheating and throttling issues because they had to rush to get a 64 bit chip to market and went with stock A57/A53 cores.

- 808 was an attempt to fix the 810 overheating issues by removing 2 of the 4 A57 cores.

- 617 (new HTC One A9) is 8 A53 cores and makes zero sense, let's just have a ****load of low power cores and no fast ones.

- 618/620 (upcoming) is basically a replacement of the 808/810 with stock A72 cores in place of the A57.

All of these are interim hack jobs until Qualcomm can get the 820 out early next year. By all accounts, the 820 will be a great SOC. But in the mean time, arguing over which interim release is best is largely a waste of time. They're all capable but none are really great.
