[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bANONYMOUS:
Okay well Google told me the only offer they had was for a free VR with preorder, that was when I talked to them earlier today so maybe the person I was speaking with from Google didn't know what was a US offer only, regardless, this is mainly to figure out the Bell preorder offer and according to the local Bell location here, there was 15 preorders at that store and I'm the only person who has come back to say they didn't receive the playstore credit, the local Bell employees are also aware of this offer and have told me that I should have received a text within 24 hours of activating the phone before the 24th and within 48 hours after activating the phone after the 24th, which I activated on the 24th at 8:11pm EST, I still haven't received anything and Bell actually just called me back right now saying they were so and so supervisor who is over looking this issue and she's flat out telling me this doesn't exist and they have never offered this deal. They are flat out lying, I saw it on their website for preorders, and on mobile syrup.com they also quote the identical offers I saw and that's the only source I can find to confirm this was a real offer.

The lady that also called me just now was extremely rude trying to tell me I had to fill out some magical three forums to get the voucher that she previously told me doesn't exist and that I didn't fill them out right which is why I didn't get the preorder, yet I have a receipt and preorder number confirming I do in fact have a preorder about this and have emails to thank me for preordering a Pixel XL with Bell.

Any information from any websites, the more information I have, the more I can prove this offer was real because Bell is flat out lying by telling me this offer does not exist, and within the same call they then told me I didn't fill out the forum for this offer correctly, the offer they just told me doesn't exist.. so something fishy is going on, I've also recorded all calls I've made today as proof because they're trying to pull some sneaky crap right now and I don't trust them at all anymore.

This is the link that quotes the exact sales Bell advertised on their website however white/silver one was only for the pixel in 32gb and 128gb was only offered for the pixel xl and the pixel xl was only offered in black.

At the time of pre-order the 128gb model said sold out so I was never given an option for the xl, only black 32gb at the local bell store.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/10/04/h...ing-for-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl-pre-orders/

However, as the phone is now released, Bell changed their website because the "pre-order offer" is no longer in effect since it's been released so that link now brings you to the normal order page for the pixel, which is why Bell is now telling me that offer never existed and I'm apparently making it up and there's a magical form that she hung up on me when I asked her what forum it is so I can ask the local store what forum this is for the preorder to make sure it was filled out and that's how I got my pre-order receipt.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
I had the exact same issue. Also got it from Bell with a preorder. I made sure to ask the rep when I ordered about the promotion and she told me I would receive a text message with the code on Oct 25. Long story short...received no such message. Called Bell...they pushed me off to Google. Google pushed me back to Bell. I called Bell again and they acted like I was making it up. I referenced their site had said it but how now changed...I told them about a Mobil Syrup Tech site that still mentioned it and even brought up Rogers having a promotion to...but instead of $100 Google Play Credit...with Rogers it was $50 and a free Chromecast. They eventually agreed to give me a $100 plus tax bill credit instead. I accepted this and then got a $115 credit on my bill. Good luck. Bell is trying to screw us and the fact that they gave me the bill credit made me believe they knew they had done wrong. Wonder how many others they've screwed this way.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bANONYMOUS:
Bell phone me again just now and it was someone higher up telling me they're sorry for the issues of me having to call them 6 times today so they did the identical thing, $107.98 bill credit on my next bill so we'll see if it was actually applied on November 7th.

This is pretty shady of them, next promotion I'm taking pictures of all evidence that it actually existed before ever applying for it. Live and let learn that no company can apparently be trusted.

Glad I'm not the only one though. Hopefully they make amends on this and start actually giving out the credit they promised customers.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
I plan on doing the same thing with any future promotions. Glad it got worked out for you.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] IIIPowerIII:
Here I went with Play store directly instead of Bell and I got nothing at all.

Google was offering 2 month of Google music with the pixel but I didn't get it because I had a Google music trial in the last year...

I wish I would've been with Bell.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrwinkle13:
On the V10 in order to have the DAC in permanent high impedance mode you simply modified the Mixer-Path.xml. I look for that file in the V20 system dump and couldn't find it. I was wondering if one or some of the great minds here at xda could search the system dump to locate the V20 Mixer-Path.xml or find a file that if modified would provide the same results when we get root. Thanks on advanced.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nyterage:
i don't seem to have an issue with high impedance headphones, i have a pair of Sony xba-h1 that have a ridiculous (for earbuds) 40 ohm impedance and they work wonderfuly. is there a reason you're trying to force it into high impedance mode?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrwinkle13:
Yes I want to use the full power of the amp on my low impedance rha ma750. I don't have to crank the volume as high and the sound is richer and crisper. [emoji2]
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] prinzhernan:
Would it be safe to use the high impedance mode for headphones which are not high impedance? My Bose headphones trigger the mode naturally but I wonder for my other headphones.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nihonno:
Until you find a software workaround, plug a splitter into the phone first. Then plug your device of choice into the other end of the splitter. This tricks the DAC into going into high-impedance mode.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
Lot of factors go in to that. The risk is up to the people who try it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrwinkle13:
That is aux mode not high impedance mode. You have normal (low) impedance, then aux mode (mid) impedance then high impedance ( max power). I'm shooting for maximum power. [emoji2]
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 533y4:
Bump for this. Id love to see a high impedence mod. If someone could point me in the general direction to start looking on how to create some sort of mod, id love to try and see if i could mess around with it. Not sure how similar LG Nougat vs Samsung Marshmallow is...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vexamus:
There's a good amount of risk in doing that. You're forcing higher voltages normally reserved for drivers with higher resistance. Lower the driver resistance and your current draw on the opamps can hurt the device or fry your low impedance drivers if the gauge wire to the drivers isn't large enough. I don't really see the point in this mod. Any quality DAC is going to be able to drive low impedance hard enough. If your buds aren't loud enough, get better headphones. Just my. $0.02
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagwap:
I force mine into high impedance mode by using an inline sliding volume control, set to minimum when I plug in. It puts 470 ohms in series with my inefficient headphones. Slide it back to full volume after plugging in and I have 1.8V rms high impedance mode.

I too would like a software fix for this.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] GermanGuy:
Could you post a link to what you are using (like on amazon)?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagwap:
Not really. I got it in a shop in Hong Kong. If it is an analogue knob or slider then it could work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eventhorizon13:
Hmmm good idea
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nitemare3219:
I'm pretty damn sure that if LG believed driving the amp at 100% power, even for low impedance headphones, were a good thing, they would have done it.

My SE846 IEMs use the low power mode. They sound fantastic. You are not doing yourself any benefit by trying to trick the amp into a high power mode, especially by using some piece of crap adapter. If anything, that is going to degrade quality.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Not sure why these guys are trying it, considering the promotion comes with $150.00 earphones.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagwap:
Yes, but your SE846 are sensitive. Other headphones may not be. My Sine headphones need nearly x10 the voltage to reach the same volume. Portable headphone with this low sensitively and low impedance are rare, so LG did not cater for it. But they did allow for it with high impedance headphones, which are typically less sensitive.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nitemare3219:
The high impedance mode says it activates at 50 ohms and above. Unless your headphones are above 50 ohms, and somehow not activating it, you're wasting your time.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagwap:
I'm really not. They are 24 ohms and I get the power I need in high impedance mode.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rbiter:
I thought they were 18 ohms?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tilde88:
/system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml try there.

What is the mod please? I want to add it to my ROM
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] esqueue:
Just my worthless take on the subject. I know that when I'm dealing with car audio, turning up the gain beyond what devices are meant to handle can be detrimental to your speakers and in some cases, your amplifier.

If you can turn your headphones up to 3/4 of the maximum volume without distortion then they are underpowered and High Impedance mode is needed. MY B&O H3 (LG Promo) headphones are too loud on 45 on normal mode meaning that they are sufficiently powered. When I tricked them into High Impedance mode, my max listing volume was only 25.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chacho_2me:
ok. saw some high end expensive eim thatare about 16ohms...but what impedance does we need in order to have high impedance? want to checkhow it sounds like
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Andrew025:
50ohms
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chacho_2me:
there's no in ear phones with that impedance?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eventhorizon13:
Go over to headfi or Google high impedance iems. I know hifiman makes a pair.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JkdJedi:
Bumped! I have a pair of Audio Tecnica M50 (38ohms) that sound AWESOME on my LG3 (paired with the Fiio 18 DAC) and when I put these same headphones on my LGv20 the sound just falls flat, yes the dac does it's job with noiseless/lossy sound (Using Tidal 16bit FlAC HiFi files) but it just sounds f l a t, compared to the prior (Lg3 set up). Would this high impedance hack help?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I think all high impedance mode does is make it louder. Have you tried the B&O that came free?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JkdJedi:
Filled out the online form, understanding it takes 4-6 weeks for delivery. And yes that's what I'm looking for, a louder fuller sound. As of now it seems like things are underpowered.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Well the B&O is not high impedance. They do sound very good. At first they did go into that mode. I had to keep volume at 15-25. Everyone agrees about that. They kicked into normal mode and 40-50 is very loud. Anything beyond that is too loud. So I doubt you will be disappointed.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eventhorizon13:
I don't think anyone has successfully modded the mixer paths yet. Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66283014 is the mod for the V10. It could be of some use.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Its very interesting that over at the Xda & headfi V10 forums it seemed like this mod was welcome with open arms; but overhere it's shunned, almost frowned upon. It's interesting because a good bit of the current V20 owners were former V10 owners. Yes the mod does make the volume louder however it was a general consensus that the SOUND QUALITY was improved as well; hence the reason for doing it. Could it damage things ( hearing, equipment, etc) yes, but as long as you didn't crank things all the way up you had nothing to worry about. The best way I can explain it is by comparing it to a sidearm with and without a safety to a V20 or 10 with or without the mod.

I don't think everyone who wants this mod thinks "louder is better" it just seems to me that when the V10 is in high impedance mode it made for a more enjoyable listening experience because you could hear more of the little nuances that aided in the sound immersion. This is with the volume at the same level based on my hearing not by the number displayed on the phone. My current V10 has the mod and I enjoy it very much so. I rarely have the volume above 25-30. I would do the same to my V20 except I love using Android pay so I'm keeping my V20 stock right now ?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tilde88:
Would you be willing to be a guinea pig for me?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eventhorizon13:
Haven't root my V20 yet I like using android pay
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxumical:
Okay, I've successfully figured out a way to activate high impedance mode "forever".

1) Flash my ViPER4Android port from the Themes, Apps, and Mods forum.

2) Open ViPER4Android XHiFi, switch to the Headset tab, and scroll down to the Master Gate (Limiter) section.

3) Tap on Output Gain and select 3.5dB.

4) Plug in your B&O H3 earbuds (these are ones I was using to test, I checked with on my Denon Urban Ravers and it works there as well, so I'm going to assume it'll work for all if not most of you).

5) Profit???
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JkdJedi:
Dam I wish I had root! #DamVerizon Viper4Android saved my LG3 listening experience. Would love to see/hear it on my v20!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxumical:
Switch to T-Mobile this weekend and give them your old phone, they'll give you a $800 MasterCard.

And... They'll give you the V20 for $100 if you agree to a 24 month EIP (they'll credit you the $30 per month for the phone for the next two years).

;)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sduffy89:
My T-Mo V20 didnt come with earbuds. I'm using my Beats by Dre (not listed on Viper's list of models) and they're soo quiet! This would be a problem on any normal phone. Im coming from a Note 4 and I had it jacked from 84 to 88. I legitimately need that.

High impedence is a volume boost, right? Thats whats i need. To do this, i can have any headphones, right? I flashed Divine and its working, thats why im asking first. Unless i hear otherwise ill try the V4A w/ XHIFI zip later and report back.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

I waited 50 whole minutes to try later. Need my jams at the gym more than people to call or text.

Anyways...

Yeah dude, XHIFI will boost volume. I rtfm'ed. Now im off to hit the thx button for the posts that helped me figure it out. Thanks
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] slayerh4x:
I did this and now mine gets recognized more often as external device than normal, but still very rarely high mode. I have the free B&O also.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxumical:
Try bumping it up to higher than 3.5dB.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
You can activate high impedance mode by (obviously) increasing the impedance. Etymotic resistor adapter, shure volume control adapter kit, ultimate ears attenuator, basically anything with a resistor to reduce the power.

It'll be pointless though. It won't increase the sound quality and it'll decrease the battery life.

Using attenuators will sometimes impact the frequency response, often for the worse. One of the adapters I listed above in fact is made for that purpose (to alter the frequency response) - the etymotic resistor adapter changes the er4p to the er4s.

If there's a way to activate high impedance mode via software you'll lose fine volume controls and will have to reduce the volume through an additional layer of software processing, which kinda defeats the purpose of the mod.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jagwap:
Some of need the high impedance mode to drive inefficient headphones, so still useful. But agreed on the attenuators. Very unlikely to help unless poeple like the sound of a high output impedance and under damped amplifiers
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
You have to do the promotion to get the B&O. They don't come in the box.

Also you have Beats by Dre, sorry for your loss.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sduffy89:
Obviously its too late to do the promotion, but correct me if im wrong. I do a lot of research on anything i buy with my own money (this phone, not the beats). Guess im not up on headphones.

What if they're only enjoyable with a rooted phone? Oh well i win :cool:

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibrantliker:
Can the mixer paths be changed so that the normal volume when plugging in headphone is "external device" level and if using an adapter you can get "high impedance" level?

If anyone knows, can you tell me where to change in the attached file?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JkdJedi:
I barley got my request in on these headphones..and just got the confirmation 2 days ago..now to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery. :)

I'll second the recommendation for the 1More triple drivers. And if you belong to Costco, you can get them for $20 cheaper.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] DTDMike:
I've figured it out.

I figured out a software mod for this. You'll need to be rooted to use it though. Link
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drbveb88:
After doing this does it allow the volume to go higher than 75? Or does it still say 75 but it is noticably louder?

Thanks for this Mod. More volume is always a good thing. !
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eventhorizon13:
It still says 75 but the volume will be a lot louder

Is there anyway to get high impedance mode to work with bluetooth?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Paradoxumical:
Do the same thing, except in the Bluetooth tabs on both apps.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thegameksk:
So Viper and Hifi are 2 different apps? Im running a custom rom that has viper in it. In viper under viper clarity it has an option for XHiFi. Is that the option or do I need a whole other app for XiFI?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KosanRio:
If you don't know what any of that does or means then you shouldn't be using them. This mod only boosts the analog gain of the ESS Sabre DAC. Bluetooth audio devices contain their own DAC so this won't help with that.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thegameksk:
Only reason why I wrote that was because I had asked previously if it works with bluetooth and I was told yes it does.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stemplar007:
The high gain, the following tips: (Because it may be that not everyone is familiar with the method, when to me, then I'm sorry to be so repetitive.)

Let's buy an extender (such as this or functional ear headset / headphones have a 75 ohm impedance and interface.

With these two, inexpensive device used in the V10 and V20 to use it at. (High Gain trick) so all kinds of root - without viper4a) is worth a try. :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUNU-3-5mm-to-3-5mm-Impedance-Adapter-Plug-For-Hi-Fi-player-AMP-DAC-Earphone-/380932180092?var=&hash=item58b153c87c:m:mTYTIMVVhRj3Y73N82lrXLg

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-L-Shape-Right-Angle-3-5mm-Male-To-Female-Stereo-Plug-Adapter-Connector-HFUS-/390645010934?hash=item5af441d1f6:g:AyQAAOxy-NVSDu1a

1, Connect the Extender impedance adapter, and then this "ensemble" plug in the phone's 3.5 mm jack socket. At this moment, the V10/20 high gain mode.

2, If you pull out the impedance adapter (and only remains plugged into the Extender) in the V10/20 remains high gain mode.

3,then plug the headphones were plugged into the Extender is on the phone (Small aesthetic problem is that the Extender is plugged in while listening to music.)

The above method, of course, the headphones just under 50 ohms should be used. HighGain trick + poveramp v3 ,( or Neutron too ) the best !!

This--> the iFi micro Ican SE amp, will turn your lgV20 into a serious stereo..will power any if not all serious headphones in the market. View attachment 4034496
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] slipudatung:
I use my fiio mont blanc with my v20 and its a dream come true.

It puts the v20 into external mode so I get a nice high powered very clean analogue signal and then amplify that further.

The benefit is using analogue volume on the fiio amp vs digital on the v20.

Had the V10 before and can certainly confirm that the v20 is a huge upgrade in the audio space in terms of noise and spacial quality. No more amp hiss (from the phone, not the fiio)!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlisGelida:
I'm interested on this topic since I can't root my V20 because the H900N variant is not included on the rootable V20 list. Waiting for someone will find a software workaround without admin permission to trick it.

P.S. I already applied all the well-known methods to trigger high gain ("External device is connected") and them work as for the LG V10 they did. I also wrote a guide for these, so yes, I know that stuff fairly well. Anyways I'm still waiting for a method that triggers the max gain. Hope someone will find something useful!

Can anyone look into that. Thank you on advance......I'm really looking for someone's help with the same.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You can't flash Xposed in EMUI. Well there is a modified stock ROM for our phone that you can flash Xposed with, I recommend that you flash a custom ROM first. Go try CM first for size.

I've installed Xposed on my L22 B360, there seems to be no problem. Go here and download xposed zip file for sdk23/arm64 version and flash it in TWRP. Then install the xposed installer apk to activate the modules. The first boot may take some time.
