[Meizu Pro 5 Questions & Answers] jcadfernandes:
Hi, I own a pro 5 for almost a year but since last 4 updates, my phone doesn't ring when people calling. I think this is problem from software because I have Chinese version (A). Should I root it for G version? Will it solve the problem? Or should I put other rom on it? If so, how to do it properly and without taking the risk of breaking my phone? I really appreciate your help
[Meizu Pro 5 Questions & Answers] luisfigueira:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaidang27:
Hello all.

I did a lot of research, but can not see any information about this situation.

If your phone can not key in some Secret Code for Samsung phone, what's happen with it?

For ex: when i key in ( *#06# ), my phone still there, it didn't pop-up any things. (It should be IMEI number, but nothing showed up).

So, in this case, what's wrong with our phone? and what do we need to do? Re-Flash Rom stock or etc?

Thank you so much, guys!

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabbage:
According to the whitesheets the E6553 is supposed to support band 12. However mine never seems to use it. It's always on band 4. I'm in the Houston area, and its supposed to have rolled out here already. Does anyone else have a E6553 and actually have used band 12?

Oh and I'm using LTE Discovery to check.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikeylfc:
mine says band 12. I'm on t-mobile in the north Philadelphia area
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabbage:
Thanks, I was driving around and noticed it use band 12 finally. I guess only a fraction of the towers have band 12, and at my house and work there's only band 4. I wish they had it at work though, our lunchroom has really bad signal penetration...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikeylfc:

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Culex316:
It only switches to Band 12 if you are inside a building where it can't pick up a Band 4 signal or if you are in an area where there is only a Band 12 LTE signal.
[Verizon LG G3] ozo012:
My G3 has brutal voice service in my apartment and my screen has the dreaded yellow tint at the edge of screen on the left side of it. Have enjoyed it slightly more with the Zerolemon battery in it. Has anyone else with this phone thought of switching to a 6P? I'm really only interested in being able to run AOSP roms so most other phones are not an option on Verizon.
[Verizon LG G3] xtermmin:
Nope. Too big for me.
[Verizon LG G3] nikqwik:
There's always the Moto X or the nexus 5x!
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i have one, and it would be a nice phone if it werent for the seemingly endless list of potential defects to try and avoid.

most prominent seems to be some sort of screen tint, which i have gotten the pink one. fortunately i think i missed all the other possibilities, and mostly fixed the tint with a color adjustment,

rma'ing to try and get one thats not tinted is a joke. some people have rma 5 or more times and still got one thats tinted, others get lucky and got a good one originally.

imo, google really made a big mistake not sticking with one of the big 4 manufacturers. you shouldnt have to be lucky to get a good device.

aside from the obvious spec increase, the nexus 6 is a much better built device, and probably 1/2 the cost now that its a year old.
[Verizon LG G3] ozo012:
Ah bummer that's unfortunate to hear. I'll likely wait until a few more build cycles to occur before looking at them again.
[Verizon LG G3] reliant_turbo:
All the hullabaloo over the sd810 made me leery of the 6P. I thought about getting a nexus 6 but chose a g3 instead because of the removable battery and sd card slot.
[Verizon LG G3] confusatron:
Definitely leaning towards a 5X. It seems like a downgrade spec-wise - less RAM, lower screen rez - but I am tired of dealing with the software issues on the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] ozo012:
I need a minimum of 64GB of storage so the 5x isn't an option for me. I'm leaning towards the 128gb 6p once some of the building quality issues get fixed because I would really prefer a AMOLED screen at this point.
[Verizon LG G3] AssasinPenguins:
I really want to switch to a nexus 6p, because I don't like the LG's UI. Yes, I've flashed cutsom aosp roms, but at the expense of losing the G3's awesome camera. The only thing I would miss would be the expandable storage and the removable battery, but you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
lol, you know that not so awesome aosp camera you use when on a rom? the google one? thats the stock cam on the 6p :p
[Verizon LG G3] xocomaox:
I'm waiting for SD820 phones, namely the G5. The 6P is a little dated to be buying now unless you pine for pure Android experience. I also would rather take advantage of the $20/month discount by buying a phone through Verizon on a payment plan.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WickedMiles:
Is there a way to upgrade/update Samsung Galaxy Tab 3E or SM-T113NU to Lollipop OS? and also root it? Sorry kinda new to this android thing. So correct my mistakes if i am wrong. I found a site lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-v-lollipop-upgrade] telling it's possible with tutorial and it credits xda-developers.com. Also if it's true can you point me out on how to do it properly step by step and the download link. Download link on the given site requires a survey that needs to input phone number. I just want it to run faster and better, it's for my daughter by the way. Thank you very much.

It's dope.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Yup. Very happy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLJ:
Totally satisfied!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
It's awesome!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
More than anything I'm happy with the bill. I think mine was $43.xx last month, I'm signed up for 5GB at $70 total. Spent the last year on AT&T Post Paid with a MiFi also on the account at 115ish a month for 15GB. Prior to that I was on AT&T Straight Talk for years.

To be honest, the service is so-so. T-Mobile is T-Mobile, the building penetration sucks, its as mediocre as it was when I got off it in 2011. Sprint does provide better building penetration but the service is slower. I'm often frustrated with Fi's lack of attempt at switching from T-Mo to Sprint or vice-versa. I have Fi-Spy installed and can easily plug in the dialer codes to switch, but why it doesn't do this more proactively is beyond me. Even with the auto switch dialer coder plugged in and a reboot, it rarely switches quickly once a drop in signal is experienced with the carrier in use. The nerd in me thinks its cool to plug in the dialer codes, the normal me is beginning to find it inconvenient. Speeds aren't spectacular, I think that's possibly a function of being in South Louisiana. The carriers invest here last most likely because of the overall poverty of the populous and the gamble that the they can just wait till the network is destroyed by a hurricane and rebuild it with insurance money.

My gut feeling is I'll wait to see if the 6.0.1 release (whenever I finally get it) will make T-Mo work better with the possibility of Band 12. If its not better soon I'll probably switch back to AT&T Straight Talk. AT&T just works everywhere I have been in the US for the last 4 or 5 years. I never have the negative experience I hear people complain about on big blue. The Straight Talk option makes the cost negligible. Although the good ole days of Straight Talk "discount" service cards being sold online for 30ish dollars seems to be gone.

Cellular service is a commodity, while I impress myself with the nerd factor of an aggregated cellular carrier like Google Fi, I just lack the patience to endure the carriers its running on. Struggling with bad or slow service is no longer acceptable with the flexibility of porting numbers to other carriers. $40ish dollars is cheap, but for 50 I could be on Straight Talk on AT&T and not worry about any of the semantics.

...but I did like the Lego kit Google sent me!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcat67:
What about calling/texting over wifi? The initial reason I decided not to go with Project Fi was for the reasons you stated-- didn't love the carriers that support it. But the more I think about it, the more intrigued I am. I just switched from AT&T to Verizon and I am hardly using any cell data. I'm at wifi at home, wifi at work, and many places that I go. Project Fi is becoming more appealing for the ability of being able to call/text pretty much anywhere over wifi and not have to worry so much about how good the cell signal is. Plus the idea of auto connecting to open wifi hotspots and securing the connection over a VPN tunnel sounds pretty cool as well.

On another note, I don't have any first hand experience with Tmobile but 6.0.1 should help a lot with cell service in buildings if they have band 12 in your area. The geek in you should just flash the factory images instead of waiting for the OTA :P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tibere86:
I'm very satisfied with my experience so far. My only complaint, a small one at best, would be there is no way to prefer WiFi calling over cellular like with Tmobile.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
It's been solid for me. Not just at home, but a number of the approved hotspots as well when I'm out. And I like that these connections are VPN'd.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailfinstudio:
Data usage

I was thinking of going to Project Fi myself and got the invite already. However, I check my data status usage and it's about 4gb or more per month. And I am counting only the usage not being over wifi. I understand that Project Fi switch automatically over wifi if available so you won't use Data over the air as much. However, I'm with the family plan with 15GB and Data carry over next month on AT&T network. If I'm by myself, I would switch over to Project Fi in a heart beat but with family member, I can't. Just my 2 cents thought.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
I have the exact opposite experience, I rarely get auto connected to hot-spots and when I do they're total garbage. Not just in Louisiana, but in large metros I've traveled to in since getting the service. I think only one held the VPN tunnel indicated by the key icon for long enough to do anything.

What I do love about the service is the ability to use Hangouts on all my devices and in the web browser and text & MMS from it. I think if I went back to Straight Talk I'd probably leave the number with Google Voice which traditionally I've done the opposite and took the number to the carrier and just had a miscellaneous GV number.

I have had problems with call quality over data. Mainly at my house which is AT&T U-Verse, and to top it off Fi does not seem to realize it and will not switch off to cellular when the call quality dissipates. I've literally had to run out my front door into the middle of my street if I'm mid call so it will switch to cellular. Its either this or attempt to fumble the phone and turn off WiFi. My neighbors probably are suspicious of my mid street calls :laugh:. Again, this is a function of AT&T U-verse having 18mb down at my house. Might switch my internet to cable next month to help with the abysmal ISP speeds with U-verse.

Again, don't expect the phone to just start connecting to tons of VPN'ed Google Certified WiFi networks. You'll be disappointed. I was in large metros all up and down the east coast in Nov and again, this may have happened once in each large city. You're going to be looking for the same old Starbucks and misc WiFi networks to make calls if you're really hoping to find WiFi networks in the wild for calling. I have a free Boingo plan through Amex Plat and it helps give availability to more networks than I had access to before. But its not enough that I wouldn't be worried about cell service.

Fingers crossed on 6.0.1... back in the old days I would have downloaded the image the second it was out and flashed it. As I get older and find myself making more excuses for not getting stuff done I rarely want to spend non existent free time diving into roms or any of that. I just want the phone to work and the service to work. Its a long way from chopping up Blackberry OS installers with different features from different Telcos or my first Android phone being a Sprint Touch Pro 2 launching into Android from Windows Mobile. Getting old (or boring) I guess!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
Works great here. Except MMS over hangouts looks like garbage. I would love to use hangouts over my other devices with my Project Fi number, but I send to many picture messages. Anyone else have MMS hangouts quality problems?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
Are you referencing the picture quality of the photos sent? Does it look bad both in Hangouts and also in the receiver's MMS?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Its decent, but I can see why people leave back to Tmobile. I am on WIFI most of the day and yet I manage to use 1.5-2GB per month, I cant imaging using Fi without WIFI. There is no VoLTE an no proper Band 12 implementation. Support is not that great, most replies are copy/paste BS. The whole service is just not as reliable as Tmobile. I pay about $40 bucks for Fi......Tmobile would have been only $50 but everything works 100%, you get som free music and vid streaming, and data falls back to free Edge.

I am gonna stick for a while longer....They said some updates are coming to service in next few month but I call BS on this. Fi team seems to be lying alot about the service and misrepresents it in their advertisement.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
For me it looks bad on my end and the receivers end via hangouts. I also tried sending pics via my Z3 and the pics look bad on both my wife's Nexus 6 and my Mom's iPhone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Weird... I have been on T-Mobile since the days of my RAZR v300 up until just recently. In fact, I still have it on my Moto X. Nothing about it is as good as Fi has been. Granted it is not for folks that are burning through a lot of data, but I have never gone over a Gig, so it's great for me.

Looking at the two phones side by side right now, the TM phone is on HSPA with 4 asu, and the Fi is LTE with 23 asu.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
I have Tmobile LTE and VoLTE everywhere pretty much and it switches to Sprint for no reason, I even get Sprint 3G in some places due to bugs. On top of it Tmobile band 12 is not implemented correctly so you end up missing calls and there is no VoLTE support at all. I am not even sure if Tmobile carrier aggression is working on Project Fi

I've been having issues on Project Fi since June, including some spotty roaming in Europe where Tmobile got 5 bars of LTE (capped to 128kbps). Then been dealing with carrier auto switching for over a month now....looks like it just started working with latest Fi app and Android 6.0.1. They also know about all the roaming issues and that Fi doesnt like to connect to roaming providers, thats why they seem to include manual switching in Fi app now so people dont end up with dead phones overseas

They are also kind of lying about equal coverage to Tmo and Sprint....its not equal, at least not yet, lying about 120+ countries where wifi-calling is supported....also bs, real list is around 90-95 countries (not a big deal, but they refuse to fix it)

I switched from Tmobile because I though I will get 100% Tmobile coverage + addition of Sprint with seamless switching (been very buggy) I also need that 256kbps roaming speeds since its double of what Tmobile is offering. Lower bill was just a bonus.....dont really care since its like 10-15 bucks difference
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Dunno what to tell you; have only been on it since 11/16, but so far it has been great on my 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
When I read these comments I wonder how many people were already T-Mobile or Sprint customers and used to so-so coverage and speeds already. Compared in AT&T and Verizon, you're getting what you pay for. Just calling a spade a spade as a long time AT&T customer and a really really long ago T-Mobile and Sprint customer.

It's exactly what they said it was, a beta service. If you want a cheap 5GB of LTE data that works everywhere, get a AT&T Straight Talk sim. If you really think you only use a gig and live in a large metro with a good economy (face it, T-Mobile and Sprint upgrade their carrier equipment metros with better economic conditions first) then you'll be in heaven.

Don't really care about the international, I just buy a sim locally whenever I go overseas. But for the price, if it works, it's a nice feature.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Anyone here have both the N6P & MXP?

I scored a 32GB Moto X Pure on Amazon's CyberMonday for $400 & love it. After experiencing it first hand in BestBuy some weeks ago & all the positive reviews I had to go for that deal. Performance is definitely smoother than my Samsung Note 4 with those amazing rich sounding stereo speakers I've been waiting for & colors much more realistic (I even went into Display-ColorMode from default "Vibrant" to "Normal" for the most realistic colors after so many oversaturated Samsung devices).. I do wish it had a fingerprint scanner because Security->Smart Lock is unreliable..hopefully when my MXP gets Android 6 (without currently reported issues with update) Smart Lock will be more reliable but I'm still seriously considering also getting the Nexus6P as another device..

I'm quite satisfied with the MXP & appreciate the expandable storage over the N6P but would like a reliable secure way to bypass lockscreen (currently using Smart Unlock app) in more mobile environments & would appreciate longer battery life+extra camera features so still considering N6P (hopefully its AMOLED's less natural cartoon colors won't annoy me too much once in normal sRGB mode)..

So anyone here have both the MXP & N6P (I prefer the shape+size of MXP judging by the cases I have) or used both side by side care to comment on the comparison & if it's actually worth having both (I don't like being overly dependent on any one phone)?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Yeah that thread was suggested to me when I started this one but was hoping for more insight from recent owners of both (after MXP's MM update). I had hoped the MXP as an unlocked "pure" phone would be able to offer stable updates quickly but I haven't yet installed MM (only sideloaded it since it's not available yet for T-Mobile SIMs) due to complaints of browser lag (http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/help/chrome-browsers-lagging-marshmallow-t3269898) etc after installing MM & "you cannot downgrade to a previous software version after installing this update" according to https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/109124/p/30,6720,9541 (I guess no links in a comment..)

Not sure why some MXP users complain of significant issues after MM while others don't, do Nexus updates also cause issues for some users (same hardware so I can only speculate there is some software conflict somewhere from some apps for some people) or should any new update be considered potentially significantly buggy despite being pre-release version tested?

I'm considering getting the N6P (either 32 GB or 64GB Aluminium) tomorrow or this week as a X-mas gift to myself:) from: http://www.gethuawei.com/nexus6p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tele_jas:
I've owned both..... The only thing I liked better on the MXP was the speaker quality. The 6P is louder, but even at lower volume it isn't as rich sounding as the MXP. The 6P is just smoother all around and feels quicker and snappier. This may also be 6.0 vs 5.1.1. The biggest deal-breaker for me is the battery life. I could probably squeeze 2 days out of the 6P. With normal (weekday) use, I'm around 65-70% by the end of the day. With the MXP, I was in the 25-30% range.

Both are great phones and if the MXP had a better battery, I may not have tried the 6P....But I'm glad I did, I personally like it better and as far as design, when inside a case they are very similar looking but the 6P is thinner.

On a side note.... I didn't think I'd use the fingerprint function on the 6P after having a Galaxy S6 and OnePlus2.....But the 6P sensor is faster and much more reliable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
Thanks for the reply, one of the reasons I chose the MXP first is because I was able to try it in BestBuy & the rich speakers+ LCD screen blew me away. Are you as picky about screen color accuracy as audio quality..are you in RGB mode & are you satisfied with the color accuracy?

I agree I want better battery life (even if the MXP charges faster), MXP is more compact with more rounded edges with a curved hold for same size screen which I prefer to longer rectangular flatter-thinner hold judging by my Spigen Nexus 6P case but that should be a minor preference matter I assume since I'm used to Samsung's Note line..

Yes I actually want a reliable lockscreen unlocker in mobile environments so fingerprint function is important in everyday use (My Note4 fingerprint reader is terrible so never used it). Should I not consider the 32GB since it has no expandable storage (I do have USB OTG cable)?
