[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tndb:
Camera aint that impressive with oneplus 2 and they prob dont have the same marketing budget as xiaomi has (even if its smaller than samsung for example which puts alot of money into that basket) Most manufacturers are making 5.5 inch phablets aswell bringing the display cost down while mi5 has a 5.15 inch one. The oneplus 2 also lacks NFC which is a big thing for some people and an added bonus on the mi5 is infrared sensor. Prob more stuff ive forgotten to mention but most if not every manufacturer are cutting costs somewhere to stay competetively in price. You also have UFS2.0 on mi5 which I doubt oneplus 2 has, add the newest snapdragon cpu on the mi5 and theres quite a difference

Dont get me wrong, oneplus 2 is a really nice device aswell but personally I really dont want any phone much bigger than redmi 3 which is 5inch and mi5 has the same width while having a 1.5inch bigger display, just a tiny bit longer which I can live with for smooth one-handed operation and i´d really like to have NFC incase the shops around here start with google pay or some other NFC payment solution :)

I must remember you the effort expend by Google (or LG) to lock the unique 4G available on Nexus 4, probably related with rights of use or licenses not paid or....

I mean, Xiaomi could let the phone hardware "as is" (we hope, capable of use any 4G band) but surely it will end in legal problems, money at the end.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
I'm planning to get a Mi 5 soon, and I want to thank you and other devs for their hardwork and unlocking the international lte bands for this phone. I read through most of the pages on this thread but I didn't find anything about the progress of unlocking bands for AT&T or T-mobile for use in the US. Has anyone have any luck?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] veladem:
Just popping in your SIM card from T-Mobile will get you no signal as I've found even with proper APN settings. So, until there is band unlocking you won't be able to use any form of T-Mobile. However, AT&T works right away with most MVNOs not even needing updated APNs. If you'd like you could look at my post I have going in questions and answers as to what speeds you'll possibly get on what networks. Keeping in mind I live near Sacramento CA. ?

Hugo Barra talking few words about LTE bands while explaining how the MI 5 is built.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] youxing:
So he said it supports more LTE bands than any other Xiaomi phone...

On the Indian Xiaomi website http://mobile.mi.com/in/mi5/#specs

you can see that in addition to the Chinese version, it also supports band 5 for LTE.

So I conclude that the hardware should be there, but it's not put into use.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pistachio20:
he could unlock the 3g bands as that seemed to have worked and then wait for the lte band unlocked to be fixed if ever. it would work then albeit only on 3g.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheUltrametricSpace:
Thanks for sharing this!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Hi ! The mi5 for India are the Lte B5 avaible ? One more than the Chinise model ?

And I post your work at a friend and he said that :

I took a look at it and I honestly think it's a great idea moderately.

Basically, the chipset supports lots of frequencies, but this is not why the surrounding electronics supports them all. The power, the antennas may not be functional or stable under different conditions from those set initially. Hard to be sure at least of bone the smartphone and be radio-telecom engineer ...

Reactivate frequencies artificially constrained by the builders can work in individual cases, but we must change the configuration of the modem firmware which is pretty mouth breaks, especially for new and not yet well-known platforms like the Mi5 S820. It is at a much lower level than the OS, with a risk of brick rather pronounced.

have you had any connection problems "3g over 4g" in Lte-Fdd ? They are some peoples are mistake when 4g 1800/2600 available the mi5 won't connect to 4g and stay to 3g ?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ricky101rk@gmail.com:
From my perspective I would love band 4 and band 12 to be unlocked
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
That is actually very good for H+. Here in Montreal I only get 3mbps on H+ which is sloooowwww
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Hi ! Thank you for your Review ;) That a good speed for H+ (This is the same quality as my internet provider 12Mbps) And that good for all uses.

But that not the same for all people. the Mi 5 is good network connection Wcdma.

It's a shame that Xiaomi is not allowed all the available bands even if they do not sell internationally :(

See my connexion in Lte with an old 2013 smartphone :

I am curious what happens next. Hugo said they made the modem so that global frequencies are supported.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Me too very curious but when ? Hugo said the Mi5 are available for All network global frequencies :) That good but for late 2017 :( by then there will be the MI6 view 7 ! It is too far.

I sure this Qualcomm S820 are available for all frequencies because in India they are another band unlock ! It's not one mi5 only for India but the same with band unlock.

I am curious how they unlocked the band ? You don't know ?

Are you see in another Qualcomm S820 LG G5 they are all frequencies bands the configuring values Lte ?

You know Meizu the next year for all smartphones internationally going support all global frequencies Lte ? That good :laugh:

And you see the new Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro are a qualcomm S820 with Rom global International and all frequencies Lte :good:

He'll have to Xiaomi hurry or risk being left behind !!!

But I still do not understand as it does sell in Asia and not internationally! Not allowing the "S820" with all frequencies, without bridle, and so for those who import it would be compatible. Xiaomi is not responsible for the import.

Sorry for my language :roll eyes: I'm French. And I like very much the product Xiaomi :D And the Mi5 :silly:It's great...:victory:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ricky101rk@gmail.com:
I don't understand the reasoning behind disabling LTE bands what harm can it do?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] megthebest:
I think it's a matter of cost, modem without some bands cost less..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Convel:
Could you please link to information about its international ROM? Last I heard, ZUK's relationship with Cyanogen had soured with no details regarding it. The Chinese (multi-language) version currently sold supports the following bands:

TDD-LTE Band 38, 39, 40, 41

FDD-LTE Band 1,2, 3，4，5，7，8，20

TD-SCDMA Band 34, 39

WCDMA 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz

CDMA2000 ( 800 MHz)

GSM/EDGE( 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

CDMA( 800MHz)

Comparing the two, the Mi 5 supports one additional CDMA 1X band (BC1 / 1900 MHz), while the Z2 Pro supports five more FDD-LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, 8 and 20. A lot more than the Mi 5, but not all of them. People on T-Mobile, for instance, are still left in the dark with no support for band 12.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Yes I'm not sure but the ZUk Z2 Pro are B12 2100 Wcdma ;) B12 =2100 ? In French use wcdma 900/2100 and LTE-FDD 700/800/1800/2600

The zuk for connect are good ;) But I like more Xiaomi for followed Rom ! I don't know Lenovo if update Rom ???

But the ZUk Z2 Pro are very good and compatible icloud !?

Cost shouldn't be the thing to worry about in a flagship
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] megthebest:
i know.. but probably for a million pieces and market share is important..

in Europe Xiaomi is not well known by standard customers.. so they have less interest to put B20 that is used only in few countries all around the world (in terms of possible customers)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ricky101rk@gmail.com:
Would explain no lte bands for usa
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joboy13:
Xiaomi is and stays a Chinese company. If I'm not mistaken, company's have to pay extra for bands, because they have to get approved. The power of modem needs to be between certain limits, and so on.

That's the reason Xiaomi doesn't officially supports EMEA and USA, it's to much work.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ricky101rk@gmail.com:
Hopefully we can enable them for them
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Convel:
The band T-Mobile customers want is FDD-LTE band 12, which is in the 700 MHz spectrum. Isn't WCDMA 2100 MHz band 1? :)

http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/wcdma-band-frequency.htm
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggkameleon:
Yes ok I make a mistake sorry ! In France use now Lte-fdd 12 700 too ! But a little and 800 1800 2600 ! I don't understand why use many bands ??? But I don't know if Zuk Z2 are B12 ? sorry
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Convel:
Haha, no need to apologise! I'm not a band master or anything pretentious-sounding like that. :p The need for multiple bands stems from the different properties of different frequencies (speed, range & penetration) and the adoption of new standards, which is often slow and costly, along with different standards employed in various countries. It's messier than it has to be, but thankfully the built-in modems are capable of supporting quite a few bands these days, granting us at least 2G coverage when travelling instead of being without any coverage at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
My last payment on my M8 was my last payment and, coincidentally, I got a letter from Assurion today that the insurance would go from $8 to $9 along with a change in deductible from $99 to $149 so I called Verizon and cancelled the insurance. The deductible make it a very bad deal, I can buy a M8 on Swappa for less than $149!

What a ripoff!

I also changed my plan to the Verizon Plan which gives me the same everything and saves me a few dollars.

So how long does anyone think I can last w/o buying a new phone? :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JBmfG:
Im sorta in the same situation. I was all set to go to google fi til i saw the 5x and 6p and realized how big they are. I just want a flagship phone that isnt huge. Though i probably would have gotten a 5x if it had an sd slot. No sd and huge phone killed it for me. Im hoping the eventually there is a fi capable phone that either isnt huge or has an sd slot. Til then (or until i shatter the glass on my m8) im sticking with the one
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
I'm not bothered by size but I want an XD slot and my next phone will have a removable battery, the M8 has taught me that's a deal breaker on any new phone.

XD slot and removable battery or DO NOT BUY is my new rule.

I think that LG may have what I want but who knows? Meanwhile I'll carry the M8 and a charger!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gjrscribe:
http://www.phoneclaim.com/verizon/deductible/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Yes and as I pointed out, $149 deductible is unreal since Swappa now has M8s for less than that price.

If you do get Assurion to replace your phone, it probably won't be a new one so why pay their outrageous price and deductible?

I cancelled and recommend M8 owners carefully review their plans before continuing.
[Huawei Watch] Raintech:
Hi Guys,

Since my watch has developed a problem (http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/help/question-huawei-watch-1-4-6-ios-pair-t3337462) I have figured out an on-the-fly return mechanism with the help of TWRP.

* This requires TWRP flashed.

** Your Facer and Watchmaker collection should be existed there (/sdcard/Facer & /sdcard/BeautifulWatches directories) already.

Since factory reset won't delete your directories in /sdcard/ ; they will stay, survive.

1- Keep a copy of facer & watchmaker wearable APKs on your /sdcard/ directory.

2- Once you have completed your factory reset & paired your phone.

3-

A) Press and hold power button until reset, Huawei logo pops and you will feel a long vibration.

B) Upon feeling the vibration, release the power button then a short press (Press/Release) quickly.

C) It will take you to the bootloader, go to Recovery (TWRP must be installed)

4- Once you are in TWRP, head to Advanced -> File Manager

5- Copy your .apk files you want to be installed on next reboot, facer.apk & watchmaker.apk for instance to /data/app/

6- Reboot to System.

Now you will find Facer & Watchmaker among your watchfaces.

I also keep Swapp wearable app there as backup, and copying it either.

Your watch is ready, from Factory Reset confirmation to this stage takes about 5-6 mins. Really on-the-fly.

I wish it will help.

Thanks for reading :good:

You all are saying to use the 3/14 kernel, anything stopping us from using any other 6.0 kernel? Or is there a reason we have to use the one in the ROM. I am also noticing the poor battery life on 3/17 build.

Next question is, I went straight from the factory Motorola 5.1.1 version to flashing this version. Don't newer versions usually come with new modems and stuff? Is that included in this? Or is it something else I need to go get and flash if I want to be up to date?
