[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jon7701:
Checking motorola's site on the band support, XT1632-02 retus supports UMTS band 1700, reteu does not, however reteu support LTE bands 25 and 41, while retus does not. One of the reasons companies love proprietary software is because they can get away with doing things they dont want you to know about. Motorola can disable select bands on different variants and knows you have no way of enabling them (or even knowing if you can) since you do not have access to their source code. I cannot say for 100% sure that every variant supports the same bands hardware wise, but it would cost motorola more money to manufacture the phone with 3 or 4 different radios than it would be to just include 1 radio and then disable what they dont want you to access. The support I have that they do use this practice is because all XT1635-02 still have the pins for a second sim even on the single sim models. This would reduce manufacturing costs by skipping an unneeded step of seperating the phones between dual and single sim. On the Moto X Play some people were even able to activate the second sim on single sim only models. If you were around during the Nexus 4 era, Google intentionally disabled 4G LTE on that phone for seemingly no reason. Devs were able to figure that out and were able to unlock the 4G LTE capabilities. About Verizon exclucivity, if motorola disables the CDMA bands on their international model, you have to buy your phone from verizon if you want to use it on verizon. Lenovo (Motorola) has had big success with verizon exclucives from their droid series and they want to keep it that way. So in order to make costumers keep buying Droid phones they make it so that you have buy from verizon if you want CDMA support or you're SOL. This also allows verizon to lock down what CDMA carriers the phone can be used on (Which currently is only verizon AFAIK). Why they dont just enable all bands on all models is a good question, but once again it could have to do with the Verizon exclucivity because remember the verizon model was the first to be released. You had to buy the phone from verizon or motorola in order to get it which helps the Droid series sell. Releasing the phone 3 months later with global support could hurt the Droid series and potentially piss of customers.

Thanks for the detailed info.

One weird thing is this: according to http://willmyphonework.net/ the unlocked USA version of the Moto Z Play has partial T-Mobile 3G and 4G support, while the unlocked Europe version has partial T-Mobile 3G support and full 4G support. However the unlocked Mexico version apparently has full 2G/3G/4G support. ??? Sounds like the USA version is actually the worst in terms of band support for T-Mobile.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jon7701:
Funny enough on their motorola's own website, they say the US version only has partial support for AT&T and full support for T-Mobile. https://www.motorola.com/us/carrier-compatibility I guess we'll never know whats going through the minds of the people at Lenovo. I also added a bit to my previous post about the global bit of your question.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] brentfordist:
Something to remember is that for most handset manufacturers, the carrier is their customer, not you. When handset manufacturers have a new phone to sell, they hand-make some prototypes and hawk them around the carriers (networks). If the network likes it, they will usually say "I'll only take it if it has this, this and this, and has that, that and that removed". Manufacturer then does some horse trading, hence "that would be uneconomic to remove from hardware, but we can disable it in the firmware".

Eventually they reach agreement and the network says "deal, I'll take 500,00" (for example) and agrees the payment. It's those advance payments (or borrowing against them) that fund the cost of production, and hopefully leave some profit left over for the manufacturer. This is why what the networks want always takes precedence - international unlocked sales are always a complete unknown, and usually a very small part of total sales. For most handset manufacturers, it's those exclusive deals with networks that keep the lights on. Only the iPhone ever bucked that trend, by being seen as a single product with such high demand that it gave the manufacturer more power than the networks. Android phones are divided between lots of different models and multiple manufacturers, which means that the manufacturer's bargaining power for a single model is very limited.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] x000x:
Are you saying the info on the moto site isn't 100% correct? I wanted to get one of these for AT&T but it shows it is only somewhat compatible compared to Tmobile :eek: i

also see no checkmark by republic wireless, but I know for a fact RW is selling them on their website, and there is even a RW promo taking place in a few days with the z play
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jon7701:
I have AT&T and am having no issues with signal. I get EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. I actually get better signal on AT&T than I did on verizon on my Moto X Pure (AT&T also costs me almost 3x less as well :D). AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17, and recently (from what ive heard) 12. XT1635-02 retus supports all of those bands (it lists supported bands on the box).

I have many TV programs/movies in quicktime format. Is there software for the Kaiser (tilt with htc rom) that will play .mov quicktime movies WITHOUT first converting the .mov file to some other video format? If so, how is the quality and what software do you use?

Would I be better off converting to some other video format to obtain smoother viewing?

Thanks, Ron
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bratag:
Coreplayer is about the fastest. Its like TCPMP the next gen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Depends on whether they're ASP (the simpler) or AVC (the more advanced). TCPMP may play the former (with the AAC plug-in). For AVC, you'll need CorePlayer.

Keep in mind that Nero Mobile Pro is MUCH slower and MUCH worse than CorePlayer - that is, don't even think of going the Nero Mobile Pro route. I'll very soon publish the H.264-related excerpt of my forthcoming Multimedia Bible - I'm in the process of making some SERIOUS, related tests.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] davefranco:
Hi All,

Apologies for the dumb question.

Just got a brand new unlocked Exynos s7 edge. My main concern is bloatware.

Is there any way to root the device to clear out bloatware without tripping Knox counter?

After rooting, do I need to install a custom ROM or can i leave the stock image. If i left it as is (only rooted) would i still get updates as per normal?

thank you
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdkinc:
I made the fatal mistake of upgrading to Nougat. ( NXT-L29C432502 # 16 on the OP list)

All looked great until I started to see the negative side of this Beta Nougat.

After much time of trying various fixes. I'm at a point that when Nougat loads for the initial launch.

Setting Language ,Enhanced Wifi,declining finger lock.

The software boot loops to the Language selection page.

No setting mode or dialer that will allow me to dload or enter USB Debugging.

I can dload by using my SD card which works using the power and volume buttons but does not install a full system

that will boot.

SK tools kit and ADB will not fully detect my device because of the USB Debugging not being turned on.

If I could get Debugging turned on I feel that I could resolve my disaster.

I hope I don't have to wait until March to get the "Full" Nougat update.

I'm embarrassed to admit how many days I've screwed with this device. :eek::eek:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
With srk tool you don't need usb debugging,you can use fastboot mode instead. You can flash recovery if needed.

Anyway try to downgrade using the rollback packages .

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fleity:
For the first time I am actually afraid I really managed to brick my phone :-/

I recently flashed ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.3-20160822 but had some problems with the camera, hence I tried flashing gapps and google camera again, resulting in a boot loop, without the rom on internal storage. since resurrection came with CM recovery which couldnt access the sdcard storage there seemed to be no other way than to flash twrp recovery. After trying fastboot with a successful flash but still only going to cm recovery I flashed a zip with adb sideload containing twrp+stock kernel but possibly for a different device.

NOW my z ultra does not turn on anymore when pressing power, no reboot with vol down + power, no charging led when connected to charger, no fastboot with vol up and plug in and not even flashmode vol down plug in to reflash ftf.

The only thing I can make it do is hold power and volume up to make it vibrate 3 times.

I am really stumped, is this an actual brick or is there something else I can do?

please please please help me

edit:

tried pressing the red button on the inside as well, same behaviour as vol up + power. I have it connected to the wall charger it came with and the usb cable from my shield tablet (which I consider reliable) and hopefully charging.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fleity:
ok so I let it charge over night and was presented with a continous red LED in the morning. When I connect it to my computer in any way (vol up down does not make a difference)

and flashtool shows repeatedly this:

02/033/2016 13:33:26 - INFO - Device disconnected

02/033/2016 13:33:53 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

02/033/2016 13:33:53 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

02/034/2016 13:34:01 - INFO - Device disconnected

Rebooted the computer, put the phone back on charger, two hours later I don't get a connection to the computer anymore. Right after plugging the phone in there is no charging LED indication whatsoever. I suppose when the battery is "full" it changes to constant red.

Maybe the battery is just dead, although I don't understand how that would have been possible. It did charge via usb now for +12h. Still in only red Led stage. when unplugging the LED blinks 3 times indicating a low battery which seems unlikely. I have switched to the magnet charger now, maybe this might do something, but it might just as well being similar symptoms from an entirely different problem.

I could replace the battery but I wont order one without anyone confirming that it might be the right move

tried reconnecting the battery like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ7nYfN_4eE

in fact with the disconnected battery I get red flashes but on reconnecting the phone does not boot up.

ordered a new battery..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fleity:
installed new battery

plugged it into the wall charger, no charging LED

volume up + power gives me the force shutdown 3x vibrate pattern

screen does not turn on

connecting it to the pc with vol up, vol down, nothing pressed does nothing

help me please, I don't know what else to try?

Its worse than xiaomi.eu rom as it use global rom as base while xiaomi.eu use czech miui base or china base ! It is a tiny developer group while eu is far greater dev group ! Eu has more feature and mi-globe adds more feature to eu rom!while epic has minor changes than to stock

Mighty high IRate words.

Atleast we can respect whatever someone does. If you do not like it, then fine, do not use it. :)

Tiny or big, at least they are trying to do something and learning too.

What might you do mate? If you wanna criticise then look at MiUi Global Dev, and criticise them, it would be helpful. MiUi in the name of development gives crappier updates, and that too everytime they increase the OTA size.

How stupid of MiUi
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vdbhb59:
Right, this ROM can be named Minimal MiUi, as it uses base MiUi ROM, along with few Globe Mi functionalities.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Suvas@:
It was connected to internet. But nothing helps.

Don't know about previous versions, I flashed latest 6.12.1 and got this problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] exodius48:
how to reproduce that issue? I'm using 6.12.1 , no error so far.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Suvas@:
Are you using xiaomi.eu rom.

Clean install from cm13 latest using the recovery provided in the official cm13 thread.

I didn't get any error on flashing log & booting was successful too. But no matter what I cant login into mi account or can skip login.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] exodius48:
Yes, im using xiaomi.eu rom 6.12.1

Try my method if you came from cm13/any aosp/cm based rom:

1. Clean install miui rom using mi flash, so you need fastboot rom. Download here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

China rom recommended.

2. Then after comple flashing, boot phone to bootloader , then unlock bootloader.

3. Reboot phone, let it booting. It takes 15 - 20 minutes. Then your device will show MIUI wizard, just complete it. After that, do some customization into your device.

4. Reboot to bootloader from adb: "adb reboot bootloader"

Install twrp from bootloader, i'm using dadi11 twrp, link on my signature. Then boot to twrp, do not boot to system or your device will bootloop, because you're still using official miui rom.

5. Usually twrp can't decrypt data on latest rom dev MIUI 8, just press cancel if you facing it. Do factory reset from twrp to get rid from it, then select "reboot > recovery", do full wipe (cache , dalvik/art cache, system. data), then "reboot > recovery" again

6. Install any custom miui rom like xiaomi.eu, epic, miuipro, etc. Wipe cache & dalvik/art cache

7. Reboot system.

8. Done.

No error or any pop up error for me. :D

Previous builds are fine but from 6.11.24 build miui added security thatswhy when you flash through edl you can't boot it easily, it requires unlock bootloader after flashing.

Same for recovery build, you can't boot it, it will stuck at mi logo and shut down. Maybe replacing some file in zip you can boot ROM by recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanemod:
Imo custom miui rom should at least remove the security check info. It seem miui still want to upload information on their scam server. Xiaomi last time is known to secretly upload user data into their secret server in China.

The reason i never use miui account and all miui software because how sneaky the Xiaomi operating at secretly stealing customer data.

I hope there will be vanilla miui rom where all xiaomi software is remove including the miui security app. If in China they can remove google app then outside China we should remove all China malware app.
