[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mangoman:
I found this phone in the drawer and wanted to use it for music with bluetooth. I installed cm12 then found out that the music skips after a distance of 1 meter, or if the phone is in a bag. Had the same result with cm11.

Have not used the phone for a long time so dont remember if the bluetooth was that bad, anyone have it working better?

Did set up an older xperia mini pro, and there the bluetooth is better.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, there are issues with bluetooth, most notably on U8800 with the WCN1312 wifi+bt+fm chip. I don't recall having the issue on stock firmware. I've debugged this thoroughly and increasing BT power helps a little, but it's still quite horrible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mangoman:
ok, thanks. Had my hopes up when it recognized a 64gb card. So going back to 12.1 then. I tried every trick I could find on the net but this phone can not be used as a media player with bluetooth.

Just updated an old XPERIA X10 Mini Pro with the latest custom rom found and bluetooth worked better, that phone also recognized the 64gb card.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harshal10398:
NEED Testers who are ready to flash stock or wipe and reinstall their stock/rooted rom for testing this workaround for enabling VoLTE or atleast normal calling on JIO 4G network in india​

Step 1: Download the apns-conf.xml

apns-conf.xml​

Note : if you are unable to download try NON-FLASHABLE zip file at the end of the thread and then extract.

Step 2: Delete all the APNs and restore defaults (settings>more>mobile networks>Access point names>menu(3 dots at corner)>Reset to default)

Step 3: Open Root Explorer(ES/Solid/or_any) and navigate to /system/etc/

Step 4: Replace existing apns-conf.xml with downloaded apns-conf.xml

Step 5: Set permissions -rw-r--r-- or 644

Step 6: Reboot

Note: apns-conf.xml is from nexus 5x and jio is working awesome on n5x with volte.

Tell me results. I have not rooted yet so i won't test myself but if it works then your luck and if things go wrong there are always stock nexus images available :)

Good luck! Fingers crossed!

Do u face random reconnection issue on jio network. I cant even use jio4gvoice app for calling while im moving. Is it only my phone or is it all nexus 6p.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harshal10398:
I'm just trying various things basically whatever comes to mind... Maybe I'll check the vendor or radio of Nexus 6p and compare with 5x and if everything fails... Conclusion will be "LTE support depends upon carrier"
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimalraj:
I get disconnected always..even if im not moving. And it depends on location too.. i assume the phone is switching bands,because after reconnection, my speed varies.

Samsung is pushing a update that makes your note 7 unusable!

Maybe package disable pro can do it...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
I don't actually see this as a problem considering the devices have been recalled worldwide.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Why would you want to prevent Samsung from disabling a dangerous device they sold? Have you not been offered a return of your cash by Samsung? IN a few months Samsung will release its S8 series then we can take a look at that.

I need someone to explain why its imperative to keep ownership of a dangerous device that has been recalled twice losing the company multi billions of euros?

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
They need to ban the iPhone too. I mean who would be comfortable knowing someone was carrying a device so dangerous it has been REPORTED it spontaneously explodes even when off?

The iPhone is DANGEROUS people. Ban it! I read about it in the news:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-college-student-s-iPhone-explodes-class.html
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
It's not so much that it is imperative to keep ownership of these devices. It's the point that it is a voluntary recall, and Samsung sending out an update that disables these devices makes it a bit involuntary. Plus, if someone has paid the phone in full, don't they legally own it? For Samsung to disable it in that situation is a bit much I'd say. This is of course all regardless of whether it is a good idea to keep the phone or not, but that's not the discussion here.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I have to fight one battle at a time. I am mourning the loss of my Note 7. I don't want to be rude and certainly not confrontational when I write I don't care if the fruity brand goes bust and ceases to trade, no concern of mine. What is of concern to me is my families welfare to that end I hope I don't see someone with a Note 7 on an aircraft or public transport.

Every opportunity has been offered to return this defective device. There are zero excuses if an owner keeps one and causes others damage.

Ryland

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

So its morally incorrect for Samsung to block the use of a defective dangerous device but not morally incorrect for us to use them in public? Double standards me thinks?

Samsung are NOT going to take away your device. You can still own one

as long as the recall where you live is not[/U

] official

, its the carriers who will block the phone etc. Samsung will not honour further warranties nor offer updates.

Can you explain why you would not want to cooperate with Samsung over the recall?

Ryland

I just noticed you live in the USA where the recall is official.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PhoenixJedi:
One good reason: I don't get my replacement phone until at least 10/28 because thats the day Pixel XL's ship.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
It's not a voluntary recall in the United States since Thursday at 3PM Eastern time (October 13 2016), it's mandatory:

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/s...-Additional-Incidents-with-Replacement-Phones

If Samsung were to issue a "magic bullet" over the air that does brick/disable the Note 7 models that people are refusing to return as part of the worldwide recall process all that does is force the customers to do it anyway: they're not going to be happy with a dead/bricked device but they still have the option - even after all that BS they've gone through - to return it to Samsung and get a refund on their costs.

Again, I don't see a negative here.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
No double standards at all. If I want to use the device in a fire proof bunker, then that would be totally up to me as long as this is a voluntary recall. Disabling the device makes it impossible to use it, and renders it to nothing but a paperweight. The double standard is there when Samsung disables the device while you own it and calls it "voluntary".

Nobody is saying anything about not cooperating. As a matter of fact, my own and the wifes are both going back sometime early this coming week. But this isn't about that, this is about Samsung possibly disabling a device, rendering it

useless

while people may have paid over 800 bucks for it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
I just covered that aspect in the post right above yours. :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Where do you read that it is mandatory?

Please, read the small prints at the CPSC site, there's a whole article on the matter. But in short, it is a manufacturer initiated recall, making it voluntary. It is not the CPSC that initiated it, which otherwise would make it mandatory.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Okay. I can see you are, like me, upset about the loss of your Note 7. I get it I truly do.

It is fine for you to take a pee in your own home swimming pool. You paid for it your water blah blah however, when you visit your local public swimming pool and despite the fact you pay an entrance fee is it okay for you to pee in your public swimming pool even though you have paid for entrance?

I hope your answer to that is no? Its no longer a question of morality when an action we make jeopardises the health and safety of the community we share and live in.

There is another post on this forum where a father and mother have returned their Note 7's as they have a young child in the house. Some call that stupidity I call that responsibility.

Providing you don't endanger others I don't have any objection to another person owning a Note 7. I fear that scenario in real life doesn't exist though?

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
To take your analogy for a moment, it wouldn't be up to the water company to stop delivering water if he wanted to pee in the water of a public pool, though. That's a bit the issue I'm having with Samsung if they do this. I totally agree with you on the other points, but I also feel Samsung shouldn't be doing that next step.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PhoenixJedi:
Here's the thing. The phones that verizon is offering as possible replacements (top of the line units) that you can switch the note 7 with include the iPhone 7, Pixel, Pixel XL, V20, S7, S7 Edge and a few others. Three of those phones are not out yet, therefore the Note 7 should not be allowed to be killed off until such a time as it HAS been replaced by the company with another phone. I get it, the phone can be dangerous, but people have lives and they've only given us ONE upgrade to replace it with. Why force people to waste it on a device they're not going to want when there are three brand new devices coming out that are eligable as replacement coming out?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] themissionimpossible:
About the possible "voluntary" term misunderstanding... maybe you and others missed this explicative post about this definition:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69116188&postcount=21

To sum up:

voluntary means that the recall has been asked "voluntarily" by a manufacturer/seller (Samsung in this case)

mandatory means that an authority has imposed the recall on a manufacturer/seller

Therefore the "voluntary" has nothing to do with a possible customer's option to comply or not with the recall!

I hope these 2 terms are more clear now...;)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aengus4h:
For Samsung, bottom line is that with all the commentary here and elsewhere of folks insisting they will keep the device regardless, they've little choice but to force an update to ensure the unit is disabled. Sure it will upset some owners and may lose them a few customers, but it is the right thing for them to do given the situation. What the folks shouting about keeping them they aren't seeming to care about the risk they will be placing other innocent parties under.

Sure I liked the 7 overall, only -ve for me was the edge glass, I've been in since the original note-1 came out. Mine is sat in its box waiting to be shipped back and I've switched to SIM only and reverted back to the note-3 until something better than current offerings are available. For me it makes no sense at all to hold onto the 7 even if they were not actively disabled by an update/IMEI block. No way am I prepared to take the risk of it failing while I am driving/travelling, am with my family/friends or at work, thereby putting other lives at risk.

Bit like driving drunk really, sure you may be ok and get home safely 98% of the time, but that one time when you don't, how many others got hurt and who's fault was it, the maker of the alcohol, the publican who served you, or you yourself for exercising poor judgement?

If you do continue to keep the device and go the custom ROM route to try to evade disable measures, you are fully and personally liable for whatever transpires thereafter. Can you really afford to compensate an airline for the loss of an aircraft? All the families for their loss? The cost of search and recovery operations?

Bear in mind too that just being there with a note-7 may lead to being implicated even if the device was not the initial cause, just because it's a known hazard and you hadn't returned it...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Thanks, reading that I think there may indeed a bit of a misunderstanding on both sides.

The rest of what I said still stands, though. While I agree people would be best to comply with the situation, I feel it should not be up to Samsung to actually disable the devices if someone paid them in full, and that was my point really. If providers at the other hand stop serving them, stop allowing them on their network and whatnot, then that would be a different situation entirely, but the device shouldn't be bricked.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I truly understand your point. I think, perhaps, our wires are getting crossed. Maybe we are getting hung up on the word 'voluntary' as apposed to obligatory?

Perhaps, I don't know, so far Samsung have requested owners help them resolve this nightmare by returning their mobiles for a swop or full refund. I took the refund and will wait till March when the new devices are out.

Now, lets place ourselves in the shoes of Samsung. They produced arguably the most technologically developed mobile phone to date and we loved them. (trying to avoid the word 'best' as its subjective). Most unfortunately for us also Samsung, the said device has a major safety issue. Proof of that is Samsung has recalled the mobile twice, lost multi billions of euros and its another unknow what the brand damage fall out will be.

Has Samsung the legal right to block an unsafe device they released for public sale? I don't know? I know here in Europe once a recall is made 'official' it IS illegal to own, store, trade or sell such an item. I didn't need for the recall to be made 'official' Once I saw Samsung taking this massive blow I realised this was for real and I had to return both my devices twice.

Can you imagine how you would feel if while driving down the motorway your Note 7 decided to go pop and you swerved and caused an accident. WE cant claim ignorance after the fact. This is world wide news. I am sick and tired of seeing people take the pi55 out of the Note 7 and Samsung and us. The sooner all owners cooperate and return the mobile the sooner the vultures will stop circling and both Samsung and we can move on in safety.

You have the freedom of speech to walk into a cinema and shout 'FIRE'. With freedom comes responsibility.

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PhoenixJedi:
Here's the one thing though. What if they find that it wasn't a random issue and that the overheating was actually caused by some stupid people using defective USB-C cables with the phone (as that is a likely possibility, a bad USB-C cable can damage the phone in a way that the battery protection board and/or the charging circuits could be damaged). That would then prove the phones were not defective but were made defective by an external uncertified device. Then, anyone who DID keep their Note 7 is completely screwed even if its found that a faulty device/cable was plugged into the unit.

And don't say its not a likely scenario. They are still investigating, they can't replicate the situation in the lab, and this is a commonly known issue with USB-C cables that Samsung wouldn't try in the lab. CPSC says 92 units out of 1.9 million sold in the US overheated. It is completely possible there are 92 idiots in the world who don't know what a USB-IF certification is.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Sounds like you got a great deal. EE were more expensive than VF when I got my Note 7 and since my wife is on EE we rationalised it that it might be good to be on different networks so we have 2x the chance of getting a signal in remote spots. I would rather have gone with EE though really.

Incidentally, I spent the first two weeks complaining to VF about the upload speed in my area which was typically < 0.1 Mb/s when I was getting 30MB/s downloads indoors. It was a painful exercise, with my having to complain endlessly and numerous emails, calls, forum posts, chat sessions. I was monunmentally p!ssed off.

To be fair they did fix it in the end and the network is great now (20Mb/s uploads indoors), but it was not a good start.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aengus4h:
Funnily enough I used to do the same when I had a significant other, one phone on GSM and the other on PCN networks so there was a chance of connectivity for at least one handset when away. These days with network coverage as wide as it is it seems less worth doing but I do get why you have :)

Can say from my own experience on work phones that Voda and O2 have had issues on the data side and that Voda took longer/most effort to get sorted. I've always kept my own personal phone as well so have been able to compare and have a backup and had far more signal/data issues with Voda then O2 than the one-2-one/T-Mo/EE. I even have an EE LTE USB modem backup for my router in case my DSL landline goes down ;)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I agree. I've had EE on and off over the years (Orange originally obviously) and always found them to be excellent. Funnily enough they used to be a customer of mine though (can't say too much for NDA reasons) but I can tell you they were a shambles of an organisation internally. How they ever managed to keep the network performing as well as they do, god only knows.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lawrence750:
More like didn't keep it working (the amount of outages!) watch it from a national, business perspective and you'll soon realise how the shambolic organisation does infact translate to ****ty service!!

You've probably just been lucky enough not to experience their unreliability too much.

Although, I am commenting on my experiences with them a few years back, and things have changed now, so could be a better story now.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aengus4h:
yeah guess it depends on where you are. Last work role at an airport our subscriber was O2. Even had transmitters all over the site, yet still service outages were frequent, if not on voice was regular on the data side. Yet I never had issues with EE and data rate was >40Mbps on my phone where O2 struggled to hit half that.

Over Reading way tho, yeah not so good there's a few dead zones there IIRC

It's just a phone return it the s7 edge is just as good minus the spen and the iris scanner . The device is not safe. I Agee to brick the device on a ota update its one thing to not care about your safety but to put others in harms way is just crazy. This recall effects everyone even people that don't own the phone. Last thing I need is this phone to cause a fire while I'm on a plane.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] asaqwert:
The s7 edge is no where near "just as good". It's almost a year old, has a smaller screen, less storage, usb 2.1, it's ugly as sin, and numerous other reasons.

Trade for it if you don't, but don't try to justify paying the same price for it by saying it's just as good. It's not. Not at all.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Also it's not "putting others in harm's way" if you keep it. Come on.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
The Galaxy S7 Active is a closer match to the Note 7 than the S7 or S7 Edge is, to be honest but because it's an AT&T exclusive sadly it just doesn't get any big love from the consumers. It's a fantastic device overall and the battery life for me has proven to be rather extraordinary.

I wonder how long that contract for exclusivity will be in place with AT&T because it's absolutely hurting Samsung and always has. If the Active series was sold by other carriers on in a straight unlocked version they'd sell millions of them and not just a few hundred thousand at best.

Maybe Samsung should create an entirely new series that's rugged and has no carrier exclusivity at all and literally just call it "Rugged" as in Galaxy S8 Rugged or something, it would absolutely be a big seller compared to the locked down (but still awesome even so) Active series.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Admit it. The only reason you made this post is because you have an S7 Active (so you say) and like to troll this forum.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] asaqwert:
Imo any version of the S7 isn't worth it, not unless it's down around the 600 dollar (Canadian) mark. It's almost a year old.

In a year you'll have a two year old phone that's getting long in the tooth, even worse on updates, and lower resale value.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I agree. Yet when looking at ALL the available options, the S7 is still the best and closest replacement to the N7. Not quite as good.... a little smaller display (but still almost as big of a body), the display not quite as nice (it's close, but side by side it isn't as bright or as nice, quite), not quite as nicely built (although I actually prefer the plastic back to the glass back on the N7, the N7 is still the better of the two), AOD is not the same (supposedly they will be updating it to "catch up" on the S7 though), no S PEN (this is a biggie for some [me], not as much others), only 32gb internal memory where the N7 has 64gb (this is a biggie for me also), and a few other things that make the N7 simply the better device. But they have the same internals, so realistically the two phones should get "long in the tooth" at about the same rate. Which really means the N7 should have had the 821 and 6gb to start with... but hey, that is moot anyway at this point!

Anyway, I am still deciding if I should take advantage of the $100 off the S7 at Verizon if I decide to "upgrade" to that when I turn my N7 in, or just stick it out with my 2 year old Note 4. I have to admit, I have been using my N4 some the last few days (it's wifi only at this point) to try to see if I can get used to going back to it, and dang - my old trusty N4 seems very dated now after almost two months with my N7. It is a tough decision to skip the "upgrade" entirely on the S7 edge and wait it out with old trusthworthy Note 4, or just get the S7 edge and live with it. The clock is ticking on this decision. I see that Verizon online doesn't even have any S7 edge phones in stock until next week, so that kind of makes the overnight shipping offer which expires tomorrow offer pointless.
