[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] levizx:
Oh but it IS. It's BOTH hardware AND software.

SONY/LG/SAMSUNG etc may built their phones for different carriers/regions out of the same hardware.

It's very understandable to just disable some bands and modes for market segmentation.

Xiaomi, however, caters for Chinese market ONLY for the moment, OK, maybe India as well. Supporting

more bands only adds to the cost with no benefit.

So again, you are basing your assumption on nothing/false info.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] killbox:
Telenor and Telia uses 3,7 and 20. I guess Onecall uses their band(s). Do you sense the lack of the 20 band, compared to previous or other phones.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
My last phone didn't have B20.

I live right in the city center of Tromsø, a bigger city in the North of Norway. Usually B20 is used for rural areas.

In the city I have 4G.

More interesting is if I will have 4G on the countryside at the cabin. ( haven't been there yet, with the Mi5)

So my plan is to wait until I'm at the cabin and then try to unlock bands. (Band 20)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] killbox:
Ah, ok. I'm not really worried about the potential lack of 20. 3 & 7 is more than sufficient., and as you say it is more in the rural areas in combination with indoor. Indoor, wifi will do.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Hi ! It's great if it possible to unlock b20 ;)

What the App nv calculator ? It's just for see if the band are software or hardware ? Just for see if are possible to unlock band in snapdragon soc ? Or to unlock this ?

I stay for a moment the price are to much and the global rom are not ! But if they are a global rom and the b20 can unlock i buy it ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Yesss. Good news ;) you have the mi5 ? What model ? If you can ;) please give us a tuto please !? I need the b20 to ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
I bought the Mi 5 32GB Version on the 4th of March and got it on the 7th (was the only available model by then, now it's 32/64GB black or white).

Right now I am testing it, just edited the NVRAM values responsible for bands, will test it later (tomorrow or so) and respond back. Anyway I will open a topic, even if I don't achieve anything, maybe someone else can do it based on what I tried.

Thanks a lot, that's really much appreciated. I'll wait for your feedback ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Thank you ? Yes although this will be "dev" join with you to help you. does not take too much risk.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
You misread it. I don't need more bands I'm happy with what the phone has out of the box. (It would be cool to have 4G at the cabin, out on the countryside. But that's not a must.)

So that means: I will try a bit and play with Dual/Deci/Hex for a short amount of time. If it works, some will be happy.

If it doesn't, I will still post it, so that someone else doesn't waste time repeating mistakes.

I don't get why it needs a developer for this.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] kylemd:
Much respect for being the proverbial guinea pig on this one Ultrametric. Can't wait to see if it is indeed possible.

AFAIK LTE Discovery allows you to view what band you're currently connected to, if that helps? I'd try myself but I'm currently on a Zenfone 2 which, with a non-Qualcomm chipset which doesn't work 100% with the app.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ggkameleon:
Ah! Okay excuse me for not understanding. I thought if other people with the "Mi5" and not necessarily "dev" but hackers could provide assistance.

Yes like I plan to buy it, but I'm waiting for the moment! Already the price declines (less demand) and so that the Global Rom.

You lare unlock the Bootloader? IT has to be root to add a new band I think?

This is a good phone I like it but in my country provider use B20.

Thank you a lot for your work ;)

A guy writes that he changed something in NVRAM and he enabled 1/3/7/20 frequencies.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
The first link is copy and paste from a topic here on XDA. So that's worthless, for itself.

Original Topic: Qualcomm NVRAM Settings & 2G/3G/4G LTE Band Config

To the 2nd link he just says 4G works in St. Petersburg.

I did a short check on the used frequencies there and google say's it's Band 7 and Band 38. Both are supported out of the box.

Info link: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_LTE-Netzwerken (It's in german)

Edit, to be more detailed:

The guy claims I have 4G on MTS network. Google says that MTS works on band 38, what is supported out of the box!

Please bring proper prove of your first statement "a guy unlocked it"...

The question is: can you prove that B20 is used or any other band that's not supported out of the box?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] dmnrmr:
Bands used in Russia:

Ростелеком - 7, 31

Билайн - 3, 7, 20

Йота - 7

МегаФон - 7, 38, 20

МТС - 7, 3, 38, 20

Таттелеком - 3

Теле2 - 3, 7, 20

That guy tested in MTS, Megafon and Beeline in St. Petersburg. They are all using 20 band.

Also on that wiki page data is from 2012.

Also I don't need to prove anything, I've just shared what I have read. And I don't live in Russia or have a MI5, so I can't check if the information is correct. But based on what I have read, bands 7/38 are used to access 4g on the streets, but if you are in some kind of building, then 20 band is used.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
B20 is for rural areas, by design.

Are you really sure that B20 is used in a super crowded place like St. PETERSBURG?

Once again, can you bring proper proof! I've 4G on Norway because 3,7 and 20 are used.

I could have said the same crap as that guy.

But as I live in a crowded place B20 isn't used.

I made a topic and documented this in detail. Right now I have only B20 active so no Internet in the city a crowded place.

To figure out if B20 works I have to go out on the countyside.

Unless the guy did something very similar, his posts are useless.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

[MENTION]dmnrmr [/MENTION]

Have a look at this topic, [Work in Progress] Trying to Unlock Bands (Including B20) and especially this post: Testing started.

What I did is disable all useful bands, but B20. Today I am going to drive out to the cabin (on the countryside) where B20 is active.

As said in the previous post, B20 is by design for rural (less crowded) areas. If the guy tested it in St. Petersburg and now claims "B20 works", it's absolutely useless and proves nothing. That's the wrong way to evaluate the NVRAM changes.

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

Just for the imagination and the argument "B20 is for inside" B3 and B7 are used on the streets.

Your statement is: Frequencies (that's waves) operating on B3 o B7 are not able to penetrate (go through) houses.

But the B20 frequency is able to do that.

So that would mean: Every building (two walls on each side) Will stop B3 and B7.... that means: If there is a sending station for B3 or B7 you will have internet until the first building shows up... so that's the closest street to the sending station.

That means: your statement "B20 is for inside the house" and B3 / B7 are for the streets.. is wrong.

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

Please don't take this personal. We all want to unlock more bands. See it as a discussion.

The problem is when we copy and paste without understanding, we are at risk to share scam or misbelief.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
Guys I need band 4 (aws) and band 28, but specially band 4

What are the odds those two can be unlocked?

I'm asking because I don't see anyone else asking for these bands
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] obi-lan:
At least in Finland B3 and B7 are used in more densely populated areas and B20 on rural areas. 800Mhz has longer range and bigger cell size, so ISP can cover larger area with less towers. But lower frequency also means less bandwidth. Atleast in theory in Finland Mi5 would work on 4G in cities and drop to 900Mhz 3G data outside of cities, but how well it will work, dunno..

Also I remember how Russia *****ed when Finland started to use 800Mhz because it overlapped with their TV and some military channels, needed to create non-800Mhz zone to Russia border. I suppose they have now also released that frequency to 4g?

I got the unlock code from sony but, I'm thinking the carrier has also put an extra lock on the phone

Ive tried using fastboot and unlocking it with the code but I get

Im guessing no

rooting status: bootloader unlock allowed: "no"

f**ing mobile carriers , I doubt they will let you unlock it if you asked, They would just refer you to sony and then sony would tell you to go to vodaphone

To be fair its not sonys doing , its the carriers that put the extra lock on it, sony leave it so its able to be locked or unlocked

I know of one way to get the standard Comm Manager, hard-reset your device and right before customization, soft-reset and it will be skipped. You will be left without the touch look but will still have the cube and scrolling and the Home Plugin.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgiberga:
Having a problem in which app or task reappears in the foreground after pressing the Home button. Also, if I tap the recent apps button, the list of apps appears and then just as quickly brings the most recent app into the foreground automatically again. It happens so quickly that the "x" for closing the apps in the list doesn't even have a chance to appear or let me swipe them away.

Something else that seems to happen along with this problem is that parts of any given app start freezing (i.e. unresponsive links, menu options, etc) while other parts of the app can be tapped/pressed. For example, if I'm in the android settings menu, I may not be able to select one option in a list but I can select the option right above it. This appears to be totally random. If I back out of that menu and/or clear the app from the app list, I can go back and select that same menu option just fine.

This seems to only have started after I added a second user on the phone. I guess it could be that the phone doesn't have enough memory to handle both users, but why would ANDROID then build that feature into it's phone OS?

Fixes I've tried so far (based on extensive research on forums and web search):

Restarting the phone - works temporarily but the issue(s) returns within minutes.

Clearing the phone's cache - no difference

Clearing app cache for each app - no difference

Uninstalling unneeded apps - no difference

Disabling bloatware - no difference

Clearing Google now and search - temporary fix, problem returned soon

Turning off Google now and search - temporary fix, problem returned soon

Factory reset, reinstalled from backup - temporary fix, problem eventually returned

Factory reset, setup both users from scratch - temporary fix, problem eventually returned.

I have a Moto X xt1097, Android 5.1 stock, non-rooted

Any help or responses appreciated!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
The answer is simple, it is caused by your second user.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgiberga:
Well, I considered that as PART of the issue, sure. But isn't Android 5.1 supposed to support multiple users? If so, what about having a second user is causing the issue?

More info. I set up the second user for my business, using a separate Gmail account; minimal apps under that user (mostly Google's business products). I kept getting the two accounts mixed up when both were logged in under the same user.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGISCI:
It does "support" it. But you must remember that everything is shared, memory, storage, processor, and network, so the phone is a limit. The better the phone, the better it works.

Even when you are not using the other account it is using all of those things in the background, it checks for emails, google play updates, and if you installed apps those apps run in the background even while you are on the other user.

It is an Android feature yes, but for example our phone only has 2GB of memory which most likely ran out from so much usage.

Personally I have 2 phones, one for business and my personal phone.

I don't know if this is true, but maybe android 6.0 would get better performance thanks to Doze. Maybe the other user account gets put into Doze mode to save resources. Just a thought, but I am only guessing.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgiberga:
OK, I was afraid of that. It makes sense though.

I also noticed that the problem only occurs in the second user profile but not my original user profile; I'm guessing that this is because the Android OS gives the original user priority access to resources at any given moment. Or maybe the first user profile is more resource intensive. Just a guess really.

Well, I don't have money for a second phone right now. I'll have to figure out another way to keep those accounts more easily separated.

Thank you again for your help AGISCI!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Rather than running two user accounts you can run 2 Google accounts as a single user. Hence, all your Google business apps work is saved under your business Gmail account. I've been using it this way for years with little effect on phone resources.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgiberga:
Thanks kboya. That's actually how I started out, but it started getting tricky keeping accounts straight (i.e. chrome would keep defaulting to my personal account instead of my business account when I was signing up for different services, etc.). So, I thought the 2nd user idea would solve it nicely; still would if I could get hardware to support it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Fair play. IMO multiple users was meant for tablets (less sensor and signal stress) and those with kids who only run games. It'll do what you want, but only at a pinch, a 6P might manage it better.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] robinbowes:
Hi,

I've just stumbled across this project and hence discovered that I have the option to use software other than the official HTC-release ROMs.

I have an unlocked X7500 which I had previously been using with the original HTC image (WM5). I upgraded to their new WM6 image which of course meant that I had to re-install all my customisations so I decided to take the opportunity to investigate the various custom ROMs.

I am now running PK's Project Black v2.0.

What I'm struggling with is trying to work out what additional upgrades I can/should apply to this image. For example, the various Radio ROM upgrades - are they required with PK's PB 2.0?

Is there a definitive list that describes what software is available for WM6 images, especially PB 2.0?

One specific question I have is: should I install all the add-ons from the PK 2.0 Add-ons bundle? Also, how do I install those cab files?

Any clarification would be much appreciated to someone new to this area.

Thanks,

R.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mojo2000:
The newest Radio Rom is already included in Black Touch 2.

There are tons of programs available for WM6,

I think there is no list of all those,

just like there is no list for all WinXP programs out there.

The additional sw for BlackTouch2 can be found in the ADDONS Cab.

It's up to you.

If you want Acobat, intall it.

If you like TCPMP, install it.

To install, copy the cab files to you device,

and open them with a file explorer (on your device)

You can delete the cab files after installation.

PS: You don't have to think about which ROM to choose,

you already have the best out there :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] robinbowes:
Ah, thanks. That's what I suspected.

I think what I was meaning was more along the lines of "what are all the programs in the add-on rarball?". Obviously, I know what Acrobat is (!) but what's RealVGA? And something like "WM5_PPC_HTC_Opera865_2211_generic.cab" - Opera, from WM5? Why would I want/need that on WM6? You understand what I'm asking?

Thanks. I'm still relatively new to my X7500 and am still getting to grips with it.
