[Elephone P8000] macpower45:
Thanks for that information. It kinds sucks cause as you may know AT&T will be shutting down the 2g Network at years end thus making that sim card useless unless someone finds a work around to get it to work with 3g or 4g. This means our Dual sim will be single sim unless other carriers are still using a 2g network and I could be wrong but seems like they are all doing the the 2g Sunset.
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
What use is 2G though?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I was getting 3G in Sim2, T-Mobile
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Should have my phone tomorrow. For those that have rooted, and installed a custom ROM/recovery, if I root and install a custom recovery, and do a complete backup from recovery. Will that be enough to protect against losing the IMEI number if I restore from a recovery backup? I've read that IMEI loss is more with MDK based devices when installing ROMs.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Actually the imei numbers are printed and taped to the phone, and if you lose them, the tut for restoring them via AT command is super easy so flash your heart out
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Can you provide a link?

[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
That's the method I was talking about
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
I picked up the phone earlier today. Love it so far! My wife's jealous that I only spent $180. =) Haven't been home long enough to root it yet. I did connect it to my ubuntu PC, and did a quick lsusb command, and Ubuntu is seeing it as a MediaTek device which is a good sign that rooting via SP flash should work fine. adb CLI should work too.

Weird thing is that after I took the phone from the packaging (which was still sealed), and took the phone out of the box, the phone was turned on with 17% left!! It took about 2.5 weeks to get the phone, so either the phone was on that whole time, or it was turned during a security inspection in Chicago. So it was either on for 6 days straight or 14! I didn't check the on time before I rebooted. Data and calls work great over ATT.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Yep I knew you would like, I would suggest changing the Launcher as it will start fc your other apps. And wait awhile before you change the kernel, if it does start doing the sudden drop in battery charge then leave it.
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:

[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Does the P8000 only have 2.4Ghz band for WiFi?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
If I remember correctly it is
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Well, I would say that would be one of the downturn of this device. Hopefully, 2.4Ghz doesn't fade from existence as routers and hotspots evolve. I discovered that Philz recovery v3 has a major issue. Doing a backup to microsd fails 50% of the time. I had to move to TWRP. Too bad, because I like all the extra advanced features that Philz has.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Yeah I always do TWRP
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
The flip lock for the micro SD slot and Sim seem a little flimsy. Has anyone used something, such as a little masking tape, or something similar to keep them secure?
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Is anyone else getting slow DL & UL speeds over Wifi on the P8000 using CM12.1?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I never got cm12.1 working
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Everything works for me. Fingerprint, LTE w/ ATT, and Wi-Fi. What speeds are you averaging? What ROM?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
This is what I got while driving. And I'm using there latest ROM. However when I first got it, it was 35 download!!!
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
How much internal storage is reported by everyone's P8000 B? Mine only reports 12.3 GB available.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
It shows the same for me, however the ROM takes up the missing amount
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
I am starting to have intermittent problems charging my p8000. It appears to be the port on the phone, because I have the same issue with new USB cables. Phone sitting on a flat surface plugged in, no charge, turn the phone slightly, and it starts charging. Appears to be crappy USB ports. If I have to, I will order a USB port from aliexpress, and replace it if it gets worse, but something so simple should/could be avoided by elephone during production/inspections. I've never had a smartphone USB port go bad. Never. For now, it works when adjusting the phone's position, but I'll probably order a replacement USB in case I have to replace it later on. Too bad, because other then that, I've been very happy with this phone.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Crazy, sorry you have the issue. Let us know how it goes when you do change it
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Well, so far USB charging is stable using certain cables. Particularly, the ones with quality clips on them, so when plugged in you can feel the cable snapping into place. However, I have run into a odd issue, and wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue, specifically with AT&T.

I went out of town this weekend to Northern Michigan. The city destination I went to, data and calls worked fine. However, the weird part is this. Between Muskegon, MI and Howell, MI (150 miles in distance) I could not make calls at all, but my LTE was connected fine. I'd try to make a call, and it would try connecting for 30 sec and then would disconnect.

I would open Google Maps, Google Playstore, Web browser, and could even call using google hangouts over LTE data, but calls WOULD NOT connect. As soon as arrived in the Howell, MI area (about 30 miles outside of Ann Arbor) calls suddenly started working. This happened both on the way up north, ad on the way back. I talked to both AT&T service, and in the local store, and they had no explanation.

So, has anyone else done any extensive traveling and had coverage issues in areas that it should work?
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
IMEI

I managed to wipe my IMEI when installing a rom on my P8000 B. What methods are others using? Tried going from CM12.1 to Eragon to try it out, and my IMEI disappeared.

*********************************************EDIT FIXED****************************************************

For anyone else, who runs into this issue.

First D'load Stock B ROM to sdcard

Stock P8000 Ver. B ROM

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759887672

IMEI Lost Method

**Write down your IMEI’s before starting this process, usually written on your battery, or inside the cover**

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery

2. Wipe all EXCEPT the External SD

3. Install Stock ROM from zip (Pay close attention to A or B version).

4. Reboot into Stock ROM.

5. Once booted IMEI’s will still be blank, enter this into the dialer. * # * # 6813 # * # * (Elephone’s internal IMEI writer).

6. Enter both SIM 1 & 2 IMEI’s.

7. Reboot. IMEI’s should be restored.

9. Reload a TWRP backed up Rom if you have it. IMEI’s restored!
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
That's because the nvram is not in the same place
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Anyone else that has AT&T receive a VM from AT&T stating that "due to Network Upgrades your device will no longer work on the network after Dec 2016"? I'm assuming they are referring to my old Samsung S3 that they still have on file, but will this also apply to the P8000B?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I highly doubt it will. For instance, bands 2 and 4 are to of the main bands that are used by ATT which is what is used on the phone.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
How did the CM12.1 work for ya?
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Works flawless for me. All bands work. Finger print. And the battery life is great.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I may switch to it today. Thanks
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Do you have TWRP recovery installed? You will need that.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Yep
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Only downside is that the dev is no longer updating it.
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Did you give CM a try?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I'm actually on it now. I had forgotten I had tried it before but its better this time around. What I've also notice is that when we do an install via the tools, it does a complete wipe versus with the recovery. Meaning that once I do an install and then start flashing other ROMs, I keep the network b bands. Now with that said, if some one could take the Android 6.0 version and make it into a zip, then maybe we could keep our US bands. Because I have to say, its SOOOOO much faster and smoother than even the cm12.1
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
The only reason I lost IMEI's before was because I wiped, installed Eragon, decided I did not like it, wiped, and went back to CM12.1, and then the Eragon bootloader didn't wipe. Along with wiped IMEI's. I had to do a complete flash erase from SP flash, and reload everything to get it working again. A learning curve pain, but it was worth it in the future to know how to do a complete erase & restore in the future.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
Indeed. Maybe if we asked nicely to one of the devs, they will do this for us
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
So as we speak I'm working on converting the 6.0 ROM to zip file. Pray for me

Hell yeah...I had the oneplusone before my 6P have had it now for hmm nearly a month and am super happy with my Nexus 6P.

Rooted it and have now Viper4Android on it with Beanstalk/Marshmellow :) Runs like a dream!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dligon:
Nah I would wait for the ZTE AXOM MAX or the HTC A9
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
And that's why I said yes it is a good upgrade
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyg0nz:
I've had the Oneplus One, moved on to the Oneplus Two, and finally settled on the Nexus 6P. I was actually pretty happy with all three devices but there are definitely strengths and weaknesses for each one. What tilted the decision in favor of the 6P was definitely the camera. I was expecting good things from the Oneplus Two, but its implementation left me disappointed.

Oneplus One:

+ Battery Life

+ Robust community for custom roms

- Plasticky external build quality

- Weak Camera

- Lacks fingerprint sensor

Oneplus Two

+ Dual Sim, a useful feature for me since I'm often travelling

+ Excellent external build quality

+/- OxygenOS isn't as bad as what others make it out to be and works well mostly

- Poor fingerprint sensor implementation (doesn't recognize my finger half the time)

- Camera can be further improved (keeps adjusting focus during video capture)

Nexus 6P

+ Best camera of the lot, even with the lack of OIS

+ Marshmallow: Doze has been phenomenal so far

+ Fingerprint sensor is consistently fast and accurate

+ Gorgeous screen and outstanding build quality

+/- Mixed feelings about Ambient Display for now, potentially useful but Android Wear supersedes its value

- DT2W not available on stock rom

- Bluetooth audio constantly skipping if Android Wear is connected concurrently (YMMV)

- Does not work with certain earphones without workarounds, e.g. Xiaomi Pistons
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbl1976:
I'm assuming the OP is not a rhetorical question.

I owned a OnePlus One briefly and I currently have a OnePlus Two. Neither holds a candle to the Nexus 6P. Everything about the 6P, from the build to the display to the camera to the SoC to the fingerprint sensor, is a step up from the OnePlus Two, let alone the OnePlus One, which is getting long in the tooth at this point.

The lack of out-of-the-box double-tap to wake (which, frankly, is a huge pain-point for me since I love the feature and I don't think it'd tax Android too much, frankly -- Windows 10/8.1. has it, for crying out loud -- it doesn't cause much drain on lesser hardware so I don't know why this isn't a stock feature of Android's) is one the few minuses for the Nexus 6P.

I've not had issues with other things like connectivity (6.0.1. apparently introduced some LTE issues for some users), or popping glass or bending chassis. I suspect there are things behind those stories (except the LTE issue, which is quite fixable) than the reports suggest.

Let me use an analogy to answer your question. The OnePlus One is a nice little Volkswagen Beetle (emissions issues aside). Reliable, affordable, fun to drive, nice to look at, etc. Meanwhile, the Nexus 6P is a 5 series BMW. An elegant, high performance machine that also projects a certain level of means. They're in different classes of cars so comparing them is like comparing apples and bananas. At the end of the day, while you'll always love your Beetle, if you can afford to get a 5 or 7-series BMW, you should definitely get one. The same thing can be said for the OnePlus One and the Nexus 6P.

FWIW: My OPO died at 14 months and OPO refused to do anything about it saying that it was out of warranty so I was out of luck. You can draw your own conclusions.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @work:
I just came from a opo, its not as big of an upgrade as you might think. The in hand feel is nice, but the opo feels sturdier, performance is nice, but not that much better than when I was running sultanxdas marshmallow release. The battery does not last as long on my 6p, but the camera and upcoming band 12 support are the reasons why I switched. That's about it. Oh the fingerprint reader is cool, but I used smartlock so I rarely needed to unlock anyways.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajarshi10:

Been a BlackBerry user for a long time. Currently using the Passport SE. While I love the bb10 OS, I'm wondering about how long the OS will last. Should I switch to nexus 6p? I'm not a big fan of android. But with plain android version I might be OK. Mainly I use the phone for emails, texts and talk. Not a big fan of apps. I would still miss the BlackBerry Hub and the fantastic email client of BlackBerry. Is this worth considering??

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
I have the AT&T version which is locked but I want to get an unlocked version of the GS6. Which one is the best to get? International? T-Mobile? I want the one that has the most support on the development side.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob924:
I think the G920F (s6Flat) or G925F (s6Edge) would be the best, because I've seen some kernels just for the international variant and no other. Plus, it's compatible with all if not, most roms. made for the S6. It' s (I think) the cheapest too. Although, I'm not too sure about network bands and compatibility with AT&T.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny_Whitey:
I have a g-925f, the edge unlocked. Works great on AT&T. Just keep in mind that you aren't going to get samsung pay on an international unlocked model. Learned that the hard way.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
I don't care about Samsung pay. I will get the regular 920F since it's got the most support.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob924:
If I'm right, most G920F roms, kernels, and recovery's should work the the G925F. So both have equal support.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
Or should I get the nexus 6p?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicmixmaster:
I bought the S6 from B and H Photo online store. The phone is carrier and region unlocked which means it will work anywhere in the world. It came with no bloat except ANT radio which I disabled. It's a G920i from Australia and came with Australian wall charger but I called the store and they sent me a US travel charger for free. B and H is good for customer satisfaction.

So I recently rooted my LG G3 and wanted to play around with some Xposed modules so I went ahead and downloaded Snapperfs. It didn't work on the newest version of Snapchat so I uninstalled Snapchat and downloaded the 9.20.4.0 version. I went ahead and tried to log in and got a "login fail" message. I was thinking this had to do with using an older version of Snapchat so I updated back to the newest version and got the same error. Any help?

SOUND MOD STEREO SPEAKERS - V3

Hello friends!

V3 is avaiable! I adjust the volume of the speaker to prevent crackling. Now working good with a new mod, the SoundMod V7!

Hit thanks to the creator! http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/stereo-speakers-sound-mod-v3-2-z323-0-1-t3015912

Advice: do not use any other mod with SoundMod V7 Loud, just my mod Stereo V2 of course.

How to:

1 - Install my mod Stereo V3;

2 - Then flash the SoundMod V7 Loud;

3 - Edit the build.prop and make sure that the following lines are present:

af.resampler.quality = 4

media.aac_51_output_enabled = true

ro.semc.xloud.supported = true

persist.service.xloud.enable = 1

ro.somc.clearphase.supported = true

persist.service.clearphase.enable = 1

ro.somc.sforce.supported = true

persist.service.sforce.enable = 1

4 - Save, reboot and BOOM! Sound quality with stereo mod is amazing!

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

The process is simple , just replace the mixer_paths_mtp.xml file in the \ system \ etc .

Of course, back up your original file.

PLUS: This mod works beautifully with this Stereo MOD V2! Sounds great!

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-xperia-z5-premium-walkman-including-t3252123

Put the stereo mod v2 first, after flash mod Z5 premium!

Requirements :

- Rom STOCK .112 ( I have not tested on the latest , but it should work! you say, ok ? ) --> I think that will not work properly on non stock ROM, need test.

- Root

- File/root explorer

Replace , set permissions and boot .

Working flawless for me on my M4 E2306 .

HERE YOU CAN TEST THE STEREO SEPARATION ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WKspXZfmEE

========> Sound mods from Cross Developer thread changes the structure and uses the Mixer_Paths.xml, not the Mixer_Paths_Mtp.xml. To work fine needs to be on stock.

Hit thanks if you like !

Cheers !

Im pretty sure that the Z5 mod that you're using changes the structure and uses the Mixer_Paths.xml, not the stock Mixer_Paths_mtp.xml. I think this is the cause.
