[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] edwingarcia:
I bought this phone on ebay and it says it is 4g lte. I put in my sim card and it only show 3g and H+. I live in Puerto Rico, USA and with my other phone I had 4g lte

internet with my sim. I see in the specs that it is missing a few bands of lte. In Puerto Rico they are selling it now at a higher price and is 4g lte. Is there a form

to put in more 4g lte bands or like a rom. When I open About there under Sorfware info it says United Arab Emirates. I will appreciate the help. I like this phone and would like to have 4g lte internet back.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] Turbonerd:
Maybe look on the custom roms forum? Also "how to root" threads. You will have to override the country/region setting I think.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] edwingarcia:
LTE bands

They say about custom rom or root but is there a custom rom or root to add

bands like LTE or to open the service mode to add the bands. I see that T-Mobile

has the Prime. This phone takes mi sim card ok but no LTE only H+. There has to

be something you guys can do to help me. Thanks in advance.

What ROM you using? XXX No limits ROM is a customized OxygenOS ROM that uses the stock OP5 camera app. Mix it with the Lightning Kernel and you are set.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyheel:
So, about 6mos ago, my Nexus 10 stopped working and I couldn't get it back working...eventually moved onto a new tablet, which now I hate....

Anyway, I figured I'd head back to my N10 because I loved it. However, one of the reasons I left it was because it was stuck in bootloop and I was pretty sure it was bricked.

The bad news, I have followed MANY, if not ALL, of the suggestions on getting it back, I just cannot get it to boot. The good news, fastboot connects with the tablet. So, some specifics:

The tablet WILL boot into fastboot and I can send commands and the tablet is unlocked (also, I believe someone said they had issues because they had an older version of ADB and Fastboot. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the 'most current' version 1.4.3). So, with that, I was able to do the fastboot erase functions, such as cache, userdata, system, etc... and then also load the bootloader (mantafm01) and also send the stock .zip file (image-mantaray-....) and the tablet appears to load everything fine. Thumbs up, right? However, when it reboots it stops at the 'erasing' android bot and will not pass that. I left the tablet in that state for a few minutes all the way up to 3 days...no success.

I also tried the above using Wugfresh only to have the same thing occur. So, basically, I am stuck at 'erasing' and I don't know what to do. I feel confident that the tablet has the ability to be brought back to life, I just cannot figure out how/why all of the attempts lead to the same issue.

What I can also tell you is that while fastboot 'sees' the tablet, the tablet does not appear as a device in "My Computer" like it normally did when connecting via USB. I am using the original USB cable and have tried on multiple computers, all to no avail. I've downloaded/installed the drivers, as instructed on many links. Also, while I can get to the 'Recovery Mode' by pressing Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, if I choose "Recovery Mode" on the tablet, it reboots and goes to the 'erasing' screen. I have tried flashing TWRP on the tablet using fastboot as well. And, sometimes, not all the time, the TWRP blue/black screen appears but it will not progress past that screen (i.e., it doesn't go into recovery).

So, if you can, please help. I believe I have followed all of the instructions, but I have to be missing something or not following something correctly. I'm stoked that it looks like it's only soft-bricked, I just can't get it un-bricked.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterk-1:
Looks like you are trying hard to find a solution. I think it may be helpful if you try to manually install the o/s rather that using Wugfresh and report back any errors. See

https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/ At step 11 I would flash the individual image files and also follow the instructions re erasing and flashing userdata.

AFAIK you will not see an Android device when using Fastboot - Android hasn't loaded at this stage.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyheel:
Thanks peterk-1. Unfortunately, this does not work. I followed the steps, with the exception of the radio file as my Nexus 10 is wi-fi only. It goes through the stock image update perfectly fine and reboots itself. At that point, it's back to the moving android at the 'erasing' screen.

One thing to note with the link you provided; no where does it indicate flashing a recovery, stock or custom. Now, I've tried flashing stock, TWRP and CWM and none seem to work. TWRP comes closest with the black/blue splash screen, but will not open further.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Rockatansky_:
Hey

My S8 makes a noise when I press the power button to get into the lockscreen. It came after a few weeks. I think its the sensor or so. Its like a *klick*. Its very quite. It only makes it when the face unlock is activated.

My old S8 had it to . Does anyone else have that ''issue''.

And no its not the unlock sound .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] capikoo:
mines makes a click sound when ever i press the power button also..probably designed that way to acknowledge depressing the button.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Rockatansky_:
but the click is not from the button. It comes from the area over the screen where the led is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] capikoo:
oh i see..no mines comes from the actual button itself..sorry bro. hopefully someone here can help.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
After trying and failing with the S8/S8+ I decided to go for the U11.

I ordered two phones from Amazon, one for myself and one for family. They were the amazing silver. We powered them on, and then noticed backlight bleed along the lower edge. The guy on this review is the only reviewer who mentions it and shows the problem:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...pretty-good-phone-if-anyones-still-listening/

Not only that, but both phones had a dead pixel on the screen (But I think that's just my bad luck :). I took it on myself to watch reviews on youtube, and I think the lower edge problem has been there on every review unit, but no reviewer mentioned it.

I really am considering a switch to the U11, but I have a serious screen OCD so I wanted to put it to you guys... Do you all experience this? And is it terribly bad on every day performance?

Thanks
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
I don't have it at all that I can see. Sorry for your luck but my device is flawless.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Thanks for the quick response. Check this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/u11/help/minor-issues-stuck-pixel-sound-static-t3621512

A guy posted a picture as a response. See the shadow along the bottom edge? If you don't have that, at all, this gives me hope. What color is your device if you don't mind me asking.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
No shadow, no dead pixels (just went through a full pixel test - jeez this backlight will blind you on full!), no scuffed glass, nothing. It's the first device I've ever gotten from HTC with no complaints about the screen (my M7 had a yellow tint as did the M8 and the first few weeks of owning my 10, the glue hadn't settled so it was pink tinted and I had to have the Sprint store open up 8 EVOs before I found an acceptable screen to give you an idea - never had a dead pixel except on AMOLED ironically enough).

It's the Sapphire Blue.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Thanks mate :) I do love the phone, and am considering another go. My guess is you are -very- lucky, most of the units I've seen myself on youtube (if not all), have it to a certain extend. Treasure and keep it !
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah out of all phones I've ever ordered, this one is by far my favorite. Ridiculous battery life, no lag, great screen, no gimmicks (edge sense is actually quite useful - I use it to launch my camera immediately when I'm out and about), excellent camera, doesn't overheat, crystal clear call quality, loud speaker set up... Only thing I don't like is News Republic chewing up my battery and not being able to disable it.

I haven't even rooted it yet. Every other phone I've rooted within a week, oftentimes the day I've received it. I ordered it May 16th from HTC on pre-order and got it on June 9th. No phone has ever been in my possession that long without being modded somehow, even if it was just changing the launcher.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] x_d_n:
The light bleed problem affected every review unit as you said, and there have been several threads here mentioning it. My conclusion is that nearly every U11 has the problem although it's rather subtle so not easy not to notice if you don't know about it.

Personally I'm rather OCD about screens and I'm not happy about this defect but I'm now used to it. The location is just one that you don't look at normally. In fact I think we've grown used to ignore the lowest part of the screen as it's where ads normally sit. Also it kinda helps that the bleed gets reduced a lot depending on the angle you look at the screen from.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Thanks. I am considering getting a device regardless. I will ponder it over the weekend - and if you are OCD and can live with it, so must I. If you can help with advice on how to deal with such impulses (over screens), do drop me a message. I am desperately trying to drop that habit off.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
I'm very OCD regarding LCD screen and the phone itself. The phone is perfect except for the light bleeding, a stuck pixel and some sound static in earphone. Otherwise the phone is perfect like the camera, sound, battery life and performance.

As I bought the phone from Hong Kong its a pain in the... To return it. So with a 10% discount off that seller gave me I learned to enjoy and love the phone.

My HTC One X, M8x, 10 U11 and the S8+ all suffered from flaws being the S8+ the worst (random restarting and pinkish screen tone) so I'm not a lucky person about phones.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] x_d_n:
[MENTION=4852908]evak2979[/MENTION] i sent you a message but basically it's about accepting defeat when it comes to small flaws, unfortunately there's not more to it. Although of course, if your phone has serious build issues that no one else has it should go back to HTC.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] KejPi:
I have is as well. Actually this is my second unit (Black), the previous (Silver) had it as well. I can see it in display test application but I would say it is not affecting normal usage. Overall I am happy with display quality.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Like I told my new pal on PM, I got the S8+ new for a very good price (539, UK).

If that sinks, I'll bite the bullet and return to HTC. It's funny because I don't mind scuffs, or scratches, or what. I just want a normal okay screen. I remember being happy with Note 4, with S5, With M8, With M9.

Then this new fashion started with every display being the dumbs :(
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
And the S8+ arrived with dust under the glass.

I've fought for a long time with my OCD to accept that AMOLEDs will never have consistent whites (though my one plus 3t is perfect, the one phone I've kept over the months). As of late with the S8 it's also been, full red edges, dead pixels, dust specs.

Let's try the U11 again. If it just has light bleed and no dead pixels I'll keep it...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kolembo:
I don't have light bleed.

I use edge to launch my calendar.

Sound through the earphones is shockingly good!

It looks dated in any other color but blue or red.

Those bezels? Ug.

The screen is beautiful and they've coated with oleophilics that feel INCREDIBLE.

The camera is excellent.

It's a very VERY good phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] tkoreaper:
I have it on mine, but It's hardly even noticeable... Definitely not a game-changer for me. It's not enough for me to return it for a new one.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Just updating that I received my HTC U11 black, and I sent it back with a dead pixel. That's the third U11 with dead pixels, the first two having been silvers from Amazon.

I have also encountered issues with S8s (dust under glass), but not so much or frequent.

I want to get a U11 more than I do an S8, but I am really really skeptical about a few things - the build quality of the panel. The reports that some of the units are not so water proof (The solar reds apparently, a youtube search I did testified to that.

Sorry for diverting this thread from its original post, but I am really curious about you guys' opinion. I agree to having screen OCD, and that I should lower my standards when it comes to white consistency on AMOLED, for example. Or even some light bleed on LCD panels.

But dead pixels? Dead pixels on 649 pound devices, top end flagship? What is going on with QC and how lost must we drop our standards.

And if anyone thinks I am lying I am happy to provide with pictures...

If anyone from the UK has a relatively faultless HTC, please tell me where you bought it from so I can buy from there myself. And which color variant.

Thank you.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
Hi, I believe you as I have the same problem with my Asian version. But can you share a picture? I want to compare mine with yours.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Of course...Here. Same on all three, just in different positions.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
Mine is in a similar position but it's not black. Indeed it changes according to the color but of course it's different from the rest. Mine is more a defective pixel than a dead or stuck one. I thought it was the same pixel issue but it's not.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
Nah mine is dead dead.

I am considering a 4th U11. At this point, I don't even care about the light bleed. But 3/3 with dead pixels, it can't just be bad luck. That's the thing. I mean this is very bad QC. None of the reviewers are mentioning things like this. Or the issues with the S8 screen.

I think at this point someone needs to step up and say : ok guys, these are the GOOD things about the phone. But there is also

S8 (red tints, even after patch. Bad smudges on grey. Dust particles under panel)

U11 (Dead pixels. Light bleed at bottom of the screen).

In the end, the only trustworthy review is XDA forums and its users. :(
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Jadraker:
I'm also a person with OCD and I want technology to be perfect however my experience is far from that. The S8+ I owned randomly restarted itself (a massive issue from what I read and 100% unforgivable to me) and the screen had pinkish tones towards all borders. Also the sound from included earphone was a joke. Now the U11 with its defective screen (malfunctioning pixel, coating issue, shadows, screen glass too near to LCD that a pressure sometimes produces distortion) and sound static when I'm in a call and Wi-Fi is being used. With a 10% discount the seller gave me and the difficult and expensive process of returning the phone to Hong Kong (I'm in Chile) I'm in the process of learning to accept the flaws and love the phone (it has several positives things).

A friend bought and expensive new Mercedes Benz and guess what. The car is almost perfect except for the thing that the car has some noise when you turn left or right. The noise come from the board. Technical support can't find the problem. What I'm trying to say is most if not all technologies comes with problems. I think most people don't care about that and also that some units are flawless but I don't have such luck and I'm in a country where I can't return 10 devices in order to receive a perfect one :/
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
Unfortunately its consumers being okay with flaws that drops the importance of QC. If people would start demanding a superior product, these issues would be less and less. Look how long it took LG to fix their soldering issues - its been a problem since at least the G2.

I feel for all of you with issues. This is the first phone I've ever bought direct from the manufacturer without the protection of a carrier insurance policy and mine is flawless but it was also close to the first production run since I pre-ordered it on May 31st and they shipped it June 7th with a free overnight shipping upgrade. Maybe HTC had more demand than they expected and QC has suffered as a result. It must be exceeding sales expectations fairly well if they not only introduced a new color but also the higher spec'd 6/128 model.

This is actually the first device I've ever owned period that is flawless.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] rebelde80:
I love this thread. This is an issue I've actually worked with my therapist on. So I have the U11. I performed a backlight test, and didn't noticed the little scalloped shadows you're talking about. The next morning, though, I noticed them. They're barely perceptibls, though. Only people like us would ever notice it. I'm not even sure it would show if I took a pic of it. It's only really faintly noticeable with certain gray colors. Here's my take on it:

I don't consider it a defect. I believe it's within specification. Phones —or anything— can't be manufactured perfectly. There will be slight variances from unit to unit. A dead pixel, on the other hand, is a defect and I would definitely return the phone for it.

But in my case, the little shadows are 1) barely noticeable, 2) only noticeable at certain angles and with certain colors, and most importantly, 3) don't affect the functionality of the phone.

I'm not returning my phone because I've learned there's no such thing as a perfect phone. I'll find something wrong with nearly everything. If the shadows were more noticeable, or if there was a dead pixel or a scuff or loose button, then I likely would. But I've already rooted my phone and don't feel like putting it back to stock, hop in my car, drive to the Sprint store, make an ass out of myself trying to convince them the phone is defective so I'm not charged a reboxing fee, etc.

OCD impulses are like an itch. The more you scratch them, the worst they get. I'm making a conscious effort to not relapse on old behaviors. Instead, I'm reminding myself that the phone itself is not as important as what you can do with it.

The impulses still bother me occasionally, but the less I act on them the weaker they get.

So if the phone is defective and it's functionality is compromised, get a new unit. If, on the other hand, it's not perfect but a rational human being wouldn't consider it defective, fight the impulse. It'll pass. Instead, go out and enjoy your new phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Slashed12345:
If OCD impulses are an itch, I've scratched too hard. My screen is slightly yellow at the bottom so probably not the same issue. But it drives me crazy. Unfortunately I can't return it cause where I live I need to get the return approved by the customer service people and they couldn't see it which was expected [emoji4]

I'm considering selling it at a loss. However, this for me is the best phone around especially since I have the 6GB variant so I'll just have to hang on to the 6P a little bit longer I guess. I guess that'll work out because after using an LCD again, which I prefer, I can't get over the yellow/ green screen on my 6P and pixel. So my eyes will have time to recalibrate to amoled. Maybe I'll slap on a custom rom and calibrate the display.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Doughnut:
I was toying with the idea of returning mine as it's got a bit of bleed, just the very edge of the bottom is darker...and slightly waving around the edges...

But after reading about the deadpixels and etc, I think I'll just hold onto mine. A bit of bleed I can deal with, I'm sure all my HTC devices had a bit of bleed...my one M8 did...

Other than that, phone is perfect.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] vegetaleb:
HTC used to fix that kind of hardware problems in new batches, I am surprised they didn't yet, most probably a circuit component that is pressuring on the LCD panel
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kolembo:
Heh.

M VERY ocd so I've been looking for this forever.

I can't find it and now I'm determined to find it! I've been determined to find it for weeks!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] :
Maybe they did, i got mine 5 days ago and there's no light bleed anywhere...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] lwinstead:
Hey, everyone. I just received my U11 yesterday afternoon, right as I was leaving work. Unlocked "Amazing Silver". First off, it's an awesome phone! I was really worried it was going to be too big, but it's actually quite manageable. (Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S6)

As soon as I powered it up, I noticed the light bleed (I call it "shadow bleed") at the bottom. I'm also super OCD about tiny details, and every time I see it, it's like that's the only thing I see on the screen. My whole world becomes the slight blemish at the bottom edge... BUT! Then I remind myself that we're talking about 3mm (maybe) of distortion that - as has been said - gets covered up or isn't in focus as you use the phone. So its really not that bad, and I can definitely live with it. :)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Doughnut:
As per my other thread I exchanged my phone due to issues with the oleophobic coating.

The display unit in store has major light bleed, the one I handed in today has light bleed, and the new one I'm typing on has a bit of light bleed...

I'm just accepting it's a trait of LCD panels...might not be the case but this is typical HTC, there's always that little detail or niggle and the rest of the phone is amazing.

Who remembers the days when they had phones with no gpu drivers lol, or better yet 3d accerelation, ahhh the good old days.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evak2979:
On my end and I have exchanged and returned all colors from all major providers, every single one had had a dead pixel like a dark dot. For some like my current driver it's in significantly small, for others there were more than one and rather visible on the screens.

I am convinced by now that the ones without dead pixels are the exceptions and not the rule.

Still an amazing phone but the lcd panel quality is really grotesque.
