[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] micah_675:
So I got my pixel xl from Google today. It works but I am on T-Mobile and it will not connect to LTE band 4 or 12 which are in my area. I have an ATT SIM for my work which I popped in and it works fine. That said without driving around Atlanta to try to find B2 I cannot tell if it is T-Mobile or the phone. Is anyone else on T-Mobile getting LTE connection at all?

So news today I can connect to LTE. Yesterday when I got the SIM in using *#*#4636#*#* I would get zero reception forcing LTE only. The phone would only connect to UMTS/HSPAP. Today after several restarts and calling T-Mobile and Google support it is now working. Here is what I did.

First Google is saying the update is supposed to affect LTE connecting issues.

Second make sure your SIM is properly registered with your provider. They should elevate the issue to higher tech support to have them look into it. This takes up to 24 hours.

Third go to your dialer do the *#*4636#*#*, go to phone info and change the preferred network type to LTE/UMTS or LTE/WCDMA (I haven't seen a difference between them). (This info is in other threads) Then restart your phone.

The problem seems to be how the phone determines what bands the network provider uses. It defaults to CDMA as the voice connection. For me this meant the phone was always connecting to UMTS only. It seems the firmware has some kind of default setting when it senses an error out the gate. The APN settings and preferred network settings needed to be updated and the phone restarted for it all to work. I now connect to band 4 LTE in my area. I hope this helps others.

Google "Pixel LTE band 4 issue"
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mnguyen127:
Weird. I'm getting pretty awesome Band 4 coverage in So. Cal. I also get Band 12 here, but Band 4 is what my phone tends to be connected to, which is fine since it tends to be significantly faster.

I'm in Oklahoma on t mobile getting slow connection compared to my friends. They each have a galaxy s6 edge and get between 70-80 MBs down sitting right next to me. I'm getting 14 MBs down. I just left sprint today for slow connection. Hoping to find a way to get this resolved ASAP.

I only experience the issue in downtown Toronto area and I contacted my carrier, Telus, in Canada. They confirmed that network signal in such area is mainly LTE band 4...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] micah_675:
Just an FYI for those with the same issue. Google has asked for my shipping address after contacting them about the issue.

Have you tried swapping SIM cards?

I pulled the sim out of another working TMO iPhone6s and my PIXEL got LTE right away.

All seems to be working on my end.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Smallsmx3:
I was having delays in mms being sent. I was using the default APN. About a week ago I changed the APN to the one recommended by T-Mobile. Mms sends instantly now just about. I don't think it's effected much on LTE but I didn't have problems before. Make sure your on the proper APN

I sure hope there isnt a recall..My XL hasnt even shipped yet and im on Tmo :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] {SBR}_L3GION:
I spoke with a t-mobile rep yesterday who helped me get my issue resolved. My main apn was set up incorrectly. Now I am connected to LTE and not just hspa+. I get generally good speeds most everywhere and I have tower right by my house that must go fairly unused.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Smallsmx3:
What is the APN that your on? Can you share
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] {SBR}_L3GION:
These are my exact settings. The only thing we had to adjust was my protocol settings. It was only ipv6 then we switched it to ipv4/ipv6. It didn't take effect immediately. Actually to the best of my knowledge it didn't connect until almost 12 hours later.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Smallsmx3:
That's what I have set up on mine per Tmos website. Minus I have APN type empty as it said you could have gave either
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] {SBR}_L3GION:
I'm not sure if it makes any difference. Just went with what the rep told me. I'm fairly confident the phone did the rest while I was getting it set up. I switched to t-mobile from Sprint when I received this phone.

If you are having issues, I would try filling it in. Everything has been working fine on mine due a few days now. I hit all of the T-mobile bands in my area. I get LTE, HSPA+, and 3g. Very rarely do I hit 3g, most of the time I see LTE. If not LTE, I am on HSPA+

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] bestmvno.com:
This is a strange one to me. I've noticed the phone missing touches when I touch the menu or share buttons with my thumb as those menus won't open and respond. Sometimes it will work properly 10x in a row, sometimes touches are missed 10x in a row. I have show touches enabled in the developer options so I can also see touches being missed that way too. The strange part is this doesn't happen when I use my finger, it properly registers touches in those locations every time. Has anybody else noticed this? Can anyone provide insight as to why this would be?

I have installed manually nougat update soak test through recovery mode .now my warranty will void or not??again in future I can receive OTA UPDATES form moto or Not??:confused:
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] SoNic67:
If you didn't unlock the bootloader then you are still covered by warranty.

Register the phone on Motorola site and you can also see the warranty there.

However you will not get OTA updates with the Nougat file that was floated here, you will have to side load the final N when it will be available.

As of now, there wasn't an "official" release, don't be fooled by the topics names here.

I've tried Titanium Backup and even just deleting stuff via Root Explorer.

It seems like I keep running into trouble.

Like simply deleting the original Chrome will cause several non-related apps to force close when opening.

Anyone else?

I'm used to removing dozens of system apps on other phones.

This one's being a PITA though.

Now that the Aukey CC-Y7 as it currently is, might not be a safe option https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/fimYCw5oHcY here we get some insight about the Aukey, but in the comments Nathan K suggests that perhaps the Tronsmart might be using better components, only time/testing will tell.

Has anyone tried this one out yet, I am tempted.. Altho in the end might as well buy the Belkin (separate usb-c to c cable included) or Verizon (PD, usb-c cabled + QC 3.0) car chargers which are known safe performers..

It looks like we have a new possibility with the Tronsmart USB PD 42W Dual Port Car Charger with USB-C & Power Delivery

I have ordered this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYCC432 from vendor geekbuying, based on discussions here https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/TCmyiHhm4bv

Look for the text "Approved by BL" and NOT "BL approved" on the shrinkwrap! That's the difference.

[Good: '"v3" = ASIN B01LYCC432 = CCTA = $15.]

[Bad: "v1/2" = ASIN B0146FK3G0 = CCFC = $14.]

NOTE: it seems you play russian roulette because of multiple vendors on each listing as to which version you'll receive, one that works or the other that melts your phone.

hi :highfive:,Running CM14.1 and thanks to Alberto :D

i want to Uninstall Some CM apps , because i like the way new Google apps are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS :)

so i have installed several Googleapps ( which are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS) now when i goto my APP DRAWER i see many apps DOBULED :( (cm apps and Google apps - both are sitting sidebyside in my app drawer)

i dont want CMapps, soooo...

can i remove them?? if i remove them does CM14.1 start behaving wierd?? :rolleyes:

and another thing is i want Stock Google apps to take CMapps place :) like system apps :)

( i can manually goto ES explorer and change to systemapps, but i got a doubt!! )

do these new system-apps get Playstore updates?? as normal apps??

Things i want to remove:

CM - calender, contacts, phone(dialer), Filemanager, messenger, camera,caluculator,Clock,Gallery

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

i want to replace all of them will Google apps :) and Moto apps :)

so can anyone suggest me things to do/ not to do???

are those apps mentioned above safe to remove/replace?? :confused:
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Use a Gapps package that is more complete... like Stock or Full, or maybe even Super but I'm not sure there is room in the system partition. Stock and Full will replace embedded apps with Google apps (look at the detail here). Otherwise you can use TiBu or something to write over the stock apps, but they will just get replaced again on the next nightly you flash.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavanjadhaw:
The only thing you need to do is reflash the rom but now this time use Gapps aroma installer from opengapps.org in that zip you can do everything you want like selecting and removing apps. you can select which googleapp you want to use and which stock cm app you wnat to remove.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AkarshB:
Hello ppl,

I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.

Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)

When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.

The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.

i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1

I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.

*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?

*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?

*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.

Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Arny209:
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AkarshB:
Thanks for the reply!..

Ill download the developer rom from the miui website and flash it using twrp?

or

ill flash using the fastboot mode in edl?

My device has locked bootloader now.with the CM bootloader..Not with the MIUI bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Arny209:
Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Arny209:
download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

This battery i ordered cost 8 dollars and is 3800 mah plus free shipping. The "stock oem" cost the same and is 3000 mah
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djhulk2:
Decided 2 test 2 more. The 4000 is from china. Oem is from china also. I will use 2 different apps to test thes3 batteries also
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djhulk2:
The whole reason is this. I noticed my phone taking a bit longer to charge now and battery draining faster. Its been a year since i got the phone

I did a 97% fast charge and this is how much energy i got
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djhulk2:
so i had no luck removing the glass with a sucction cup following this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j23exUFwslw

but i was able to replace the battery. discharing now to test true mAh. if its not 3800 like gold promised i will open ebay case

And i turned up brightness and gps. Kinda hard to drain now compared to stock battery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djhulk2:
So testinf the gold i got these results. I did battery repair and calacration. First thing i noticed right away is the battery is lastinf a lot longer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] iivisionii:
Ouch. RIP back glass. We may all have to eventually try to replace the battery so any tips on where you went wrong on the back would be helpful too. Glad to see the battery worked and is at rated specs. They are often lower than the specs written on the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
If you ever have to open the back of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 again to replace the battery or anything else first buy a heating gun and a laser temperature gage and then heat the back edges of the glass up(not in the center) to about 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit but do not exceed 212 degrees Fahrenheit and always keep it in motion don't ever stop and just direct the heat into 1 spot because it'll burn easily since most of them start at 500 Fahrenheit and go all the way to 1000 Fahrenheit.. after heating the glue around the edges up use your pry tools and playing cards to slowly push them through the glue and if you have to heat it up again which you probably will just do it... The 1 major thing needed for this job is patience and work slowly.. There's no need to rush!

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

This should help others with the glass I've done it many times and it works really good as long as you have patience and don't be rough with it.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Can I ask how that 4000 mAh battery from China worked out for you? Was it better than the original and does fast charge still work with it?
