[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
The problem is that Nexus isn't a famous brand in Brazil, then nobody wants to open it to fix. We haven't reposition pieces here like this IC which they changed there. I'm still wondering what am I gonna do to fix it since I have in my mind it's an antenna problem, because the device won't find any network when I make it search for it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
Yes it seems your phone is showing the same problems that I saw in mine. Searching for network was always bringing out error message. I initially thought and was convinced that it was software /radio problem. Trust me, I did everything that I found (flashing, rooting, installing custom rom, flashing radio band and even an efs flashing). But how wrong I was. It was just a hardware problem and the technician said it was an ic problem rather than antenna. But I am not sure. By the way, it's not that difficult to open this phone as I saw how they did it without leaving a single scratch. I could do it if I have the right tools. Search YouTube, there's plenty of vdos showing how to open a 6P. (posted using my Nexus 6P).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
They changed this IC piece or repaired it? Also, is this piece related to the antenna?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
The Technician said that he changed the IC but I am not sure. He was doing his work a bit far from where I was standing. And all techie guys here don't reveal their trade secrets due to huge competition. I am not sure if this IC is related to the antenna
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
I couldn't find anything about antenna fix or this IC at YouTube or even Google. It's strange that such a problem isn't reported and fixed by anyone in YouTube and Google.

I'm still wondering a way to fix it. I'm 95% sure it's hardware since it can't find network when I make the device search for it.

Also, I've made every software fix available, and this makes me feel even more it's a hardware trouble.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
Yeah, for me it was a hardware problem. The techie opened the device, did some of their techie stuff and sealed it up back . It's been two weeks I am using the phone just as before. I wish you find someone who could do the same for you.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
I wish so as well. Maybe do you have contact with the techie and ask him what was done saying a friend from Brazil is having the same problem?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
As I said, the techie clearly mentioned that it was the IC which was causing the problem and he changed the IC with a good one. Though I was not convinced as I believe the problem was related to antenna or something related to signal reception. I was just relieved and extremely happy to see my phone working so I didn't probe further. The techie charged me around 50 USD to fix the phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
Yeah, but maybe you could ask him for some specifications so I could fix my device here? :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
I understand your point but I don't think the techie guy will tell me exactly what he really fixed. When I asked him he simply said he replaced the IC with an original one of High quality. I don't think he would help me much. I am really sorry that it's not helping you. But I guess any good technician would be able to find out what is wrong your phone and will solve it. I live in Bangladesh. If a techie from Bangladesh can fix it, a techie in Brazil can fix it too. Since your device is showing the same problem as mine, I am sure it is repairable. ☺️
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Debuffer:
Alright.

I don't think someone here may easily fix it since the majority of devices here are Samsung, Apple, Sony, LG and Motorola. Anyway, I will have to search a bit for it, but I'm sure I'll find.

Thank you, bro!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kach22:
I was thinking like you as Nexus 6P is a rare device in Bangladesh too. also Huawei Bangladesh neither sell the device nor they provide any service. Only a handful person use the device who bought it from outside. But I was proved wrong as the techie confidently said that he can fix this device. He looked into the YouTube video of how to open the nexus 6p and then started working on it. I guess all devices follow similar architecture patterns inside and the techie guys understand the language well.

Best wishes for your device

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Has anyone tried completely disabling Bixby and all its related apps? I am wondering if you use the BixRemap app and then disable Bixby Completely it will be like it was never installed on the phone.

I may take a crack at it to see if it will work but wanted to see if anyone had disable the app itself yet and if that caused any issues.

Thanks!

UpDate: I disabled ALL of the bixby stuff have not run into any issues so far, but it does break remapping the button, basically the button is worthless now. Wish they would just let us use it for whatever we want like the Active button is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
The new methods of remapping rely on watching when Bixby launches, not the actual button press. So, if Bixby never launches, the current remap apps cannot work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] x.0ni.x:
bxActions - Remap Bixby button"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions works just fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Averix:
The downside of that one is you have to disable secure startup. My company mandates that is turned on due to sensitive material so I'm kind of out of luck. It works great if you don't need secure startup turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] x.0ni.x:
Ohhh dang my apologies. Didn't even realize that. I don't have secure start-up enabled. Good to know though for sure.

I understand the point of a petition, but a lawsuit? Why dont you get a Nokia or something,get your mind off things,cool down. I think youre coming across as a disgruntled former employee about to go postal.:rolleyes::eek::confused:schitzo...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
There isn't really a point to the petition, as companies don't really care. There probably isn't a big point with a class action lawsuit either, as it's entirely possible we won't win. It is something that should be investigated, as ultimately, it's just a way of applying pressure, getting publicity and raising awareness.

And nope, I'm not a former employee, but I am disgruntled by the way HTC is treating us.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericc191:
Maybe you should read the main thread before posting crap like this. There are plenty of people, including myself who think a class action suite would be a good idea. Even if we didn't win or had no real grounds for one, the negative feedback alone could cause HTC to do something about the driver support.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] forcedalias:
As Chainfire mentioned, petitions never work. This is because people eventually "cool off" and stop caring that they've been ripped off.

If I paid a lot less for my Kaiser, I wouldn't care as much that it's being outperformed by the older cheaper HTC models. We paid an arm and leg for these costly phones, we'd expect them to at least give us the basics (drivers).

How would you feel if you bought some fancy & expensive graphics board only to have to use the generic drivers that come with your OS?

Chainfire, great work. Let us know when you've set up the paypal account.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericc191:
Oh, by the way, wonderful site Chainfire. It has all the info needed in one neatly organized site.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fisha21:
Excellent site Chainfire. If this is indicative of the effort you put into things, my previous (and future) donations have been well spent!! Very clear and to the point.

I posted a link on the "Proper video drivers...." sticky to a Google page tlaking about the bright new future of Android. Just wondered if it is worth highlighting to visitors to the site that HTC is one of the core companies developing this - perhaps if they realise HTC's attitude will affect more than just the current devices. Or maybe they won't care as most casual browsers don't know what Android is? Ah, I don't know.

Hey, if we draw public attention to all this, and then someone manages to address the issue here on XDA-devs, could that cause problems - infringment of copyright etc?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GuestK0050:
I don't understand the point of this petition, or a law suite for that matter. What do 99% of people do with their Kaisers anyway? There are lots of people around me where I work that use Windows smart phones and they are happy to get their push mail, GPS, bluetooth, whatever. I think they could care less about video drivers.

I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have some video acceleration, but most users probably could care less. We are the minority.

I think raising awareness is a great idea. Perhaps listing those manufactures that actually support their WinMo devices with proper drivers is even better, so potential buyers would know to spend their money else wehere.

I got my Kaiser as a Tilt from AT&T. I had 30 days to return it. I was given ample opportunity to play with it, install software, and make my complaint. I kept the device. No one was being forced to buy these things.

If you bought an unlocked Kaiser and spend a large bit of cash, well you take the first movers risk. No reason anyone couldn't wait to see what others though of the device before purchasing it.

You certainly can't will things into existence. Can't buy an HTC phone and wish into existence some drivers that it never had in the first place.

As much as I would like video acceleration, I'm not sure where it is that HTC specifically stated their would be some. GPS, pushmail, Pocket IE, it all pretty much works as expected. I understand that the qualcomm chipset may certainly be capable of video acceleration, but that doesn't mean that it was a specific feature that HTC was going after when it made the Kaiser.

I'm not trying to ruin anyones plans or desires to get the most out of their phones, but why not just not buy the phone?

I for one look forward to something like Android, so hobbiests and consumers can put the features they want to exploit in to place on phones like the Kaiser. I hope this drastically changes the market and gives us more choice in our software, and forces manufacturers to do more than the bare minimum with these devices.

-James
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] forcedalias:
Well, given older HTC devices never mentioned video acceleration in their specs either and that they're certainly performing better than the Kaiser, I think it's fair to expect performance which at the very least matches that of former models.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
I hate to say it, but jmac makes very good points. Awareness is fine. Negative publicity might cause some action. but such a lawsuit isn't very winnable here since there were no real explicit promises broken here. Any "promises borken" were more hopes and expectations that were not made by the manufacturer.

But who knows, this being a very HTC centric forum, it could make them take a little notice, but most likely this isn't a winnable case.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
Hehe, as stated elsewhere, it's mostly a pressure and publicity tool. In the end, if we do do the case, it doesn't even really matter if we win it. The publicity and awareness it will generate... There's the headology factor. People are happy using a gadget. People learn the gadget can do a lot more then it does. People are unhappy using the gadget. People complain about the gadget. Creator of gadget fixes gadget :)

Mark my words, if enough attention is given to this, HTC will do the right thing, if only to save face.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zman28SS:
Great site so far Chainfire. I pray that this brings enough attention to move HTC to action. Without those drivers, I can compare this to buying a Corvette only to realize once on the road that the governor is set to 30mph. :mad:

Status update:

The site is almost finished and uploaded, apart from the "Responses from HTC" section.

- Please read the 'drivers in detail' page and tell me what you think

- Please help me collect 'carrier branded' names of the devices in question

I have also setup a paypal address for donations

for the AdWords campaign only

, you can find a button on the "What you can do" page. I already put 100 euro's in there myself, and it's been getting extra visitors for almost an hour now.

Before I finish the "Responses from HTC" part, start submitting to slashdot, digg, etc, it's time for dinner :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] o2neouzr:
you might want to add the htc vogue/sprint touch to your list on htcclassaction.org, it suffers the same problem and i believe it has a similar chipset with the same 3d hardware.

i think htc will just say,well just because the chipset we use has 3d hardware built in doesn't mean we have to enable or support it because it was never advertised as such.

I'd have to download and extract a ROM to be sure though, I'll do that later.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
What he said...but I am a little under the influence right now. To be honest, my phone works for GPS, works for email, works for web browsing, sync's via activesync, plays movies just fine (no slider issues when adjusting sound), allows me to read ebooks, works with office mobile (though I would like to be able to save Word documents as .DOC files, not .DOCX). Guess I'm with the 99% because I really don't see any issues with the phone that cause me to get on a soapbox. I really don't care if this makes me unpopular, but I'm so sick of people coming on this forum and moaning about video driver issues. Show me one other device that does all the things that a Kaiser can do? iPhone, no GPS and limited open source unless you want to run the risk of bricking the device, Nokia? Please, I had the 9xxx series of communicators for years. I had the choice between the latest comunicator series or the Kaiser, I went with the Kaiser as Symbian sucked. The N95, QWERTY keyboard???

This phone is not designed as a graphics device, its a business tool. If you want DVD quality movies, buy a portable DVD player, graphic intensive games, get a PSP. I have a Nokia 2110 mobile from 10 years ago that can't handle MID files, a Garmin Sat-Nav the size of a house brick and a digital camera that uses 3.5" floppy discs cause memory cards hadn't been invented when it was launched. HTC have packed an MP3 player, sat-nav, laptop computer, digital camera, mobile phone (...the list goes on) inside a device the size of a packet of cigarettes. Personally I think this is amazing, lets give them a bit of credit for doing this!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rachidnl:
I just got off the phone with HTC Support UK and spoke to some dude named Joe. I mentioned the video problems I have with my TyTN II, which display easily in Windows Media Player and told him about the TomTom comparison between the TyTN II and a three year old HTC device, as well as general sluggishness while operating the TyTN II.

Joe confirmed HTC is aware of these problems and that R&D in Taiwan is looking into it. He told me to keep an eye on official HTC websites for a patch, although he could not tell me when the patch would eventually be released. I asked him if this was the confirmation of R&D actually writing a patch as we speak. First he plainly said 'yes', then apparently realised he wasn't authorised to do so, and said R&D is looking into this.

So to me, this means HTC knows about the issue and currently is doing something to fix the problem. It's too bad we don't have a timeframe, but hopefully we'll get one as word starts spreading quickly now through various tech related websites.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] met3ora:
We're all getting the response that yes, something is being done and that there will be an update.

The question left is when. HTC can easily keep saying they're doing something about it and never publically release a statement saying so, but keep telling their customers that privately (via email). HTC can also publically announce that there will be a patch, but then again, when? I'm usually not a conspiracy theorist like this, but I have to agree with Chainfire when he says this is a pretty easy way to silence the crowd. I think we need to keep pressing the issue until something is officially done, not just until we're told something will be done. I, for one, will still be sending emails asking about a date, and I suggest everyone do the same. We're one step closer, but we still need to make sure they fulfull what they say. If we get them to release the drivers, it will be a win for the community, and hopefully HTC will learn to respect their users, since a great deal of them ARE power users like us, who will harness every last MHZ from their device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chainfire:
Oh the pressure will keep coming, I'm fairly sure of this. I'm already in e-mail conversations with editors and techsite posters for follow up issues.

Yes you can! There's a dotnet selector app out for a while now that let's you select which installed dotnet version to use. Credit goes to Paul of Modaco. You could probably Google the exact details from that.

omikr0n, btw, it IS your lights.exe. ChainFire just didn't directly credit you. I'm pretty sure you didn't code it for dotnet3.5, no?

Meanwhile, it seems the only commonality is that the OFFICIAL WM6.1 roms are all broken in some way that the cooked roms aren't. That should be enough info to chase up for a fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
New info for me

Thats all new stuff to me. Sure enough I installed Schaps advanced Config 2.x something and the about page shows only DotNet 2 point something is installed.:eek: Its scandalous! Why is there not a Cab to actually install the full DotNet 3.5?

I used the full Microsoft 33 MB msi from their download site and it seems rediculous that what it installs, is only for testing purposes, or to put it another way, simulates the DotNet 3.5 environment. What you explain makes sence and it would certainly explain why there's this problem with all the original HTC ROMs. I do NOT want to have to install anything other than official matching HTC ROMs, Radios and SPLs though so how can I bypass this 'must be cooked in' rule? I imagine lots of others will be in the same situation. Why MUST the required files be cooked in, can they not just be registered or something or does the Microsoft Download not contain the required files. Is it possible to get instructions and any additional files to manually add them?
