I'm using an Xperia X Compact and my home market only has band 12 lte and I can't connect to it. Which means I'm always in 3g or roaming and rarely have data in buildings. It's maddening because I will only buy Sony. I think they are the only manufacturer making attractive handsets and the build quality is light years beyond well marketed, poorly constructed brands like Samsung and LG. But regardless of anyone's choice of manufacturer, a device with a functioning 700 mhz lte radio should function just fine on the corresponding network regardless of where it was purchased.

Would certifying this device and enabling VOLTE be particularly costly to Sony? Correct me if I'm wrong but based on internal components this device should be capable of this ja?

I think it wouldn't hurt to send petitions to both the manufacturer and T-mobile USA. This certainly doesn't help Sony in a market they are seriously struggling in. It also isn't very uncarrier to favor certain devices over others.

The only reason I switched from Verizon was the ability to choose my device. That and the things John Legere was doing to change the industry. I believed in what he was saying. But right now it isn't working for me and likely many others. He should know. I can say firsthand that the guy answers his emails. I think we need to show both parties that this is worth their attention.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

I should mention that after multiple calls to T-mobile tech support I received a cryptic call very late at night from someone high up in tech support.

Long story short he at least admitted that even though it wasn't a t mobile device and even though it didn't support VoLTE, it should still connect to band 12 just fine. He also said that they were having problems with this sort of thing in my area and that it should be resolved in a month. He also said my IMEI was logged and I would be given priority in the matter. Whatever that means.

I should also mention that was a month ago and he didn't have an email to give me. He did however give me a phone number (probably just the department) that I need to dig up.

Could just be a bunch of fluff because they are afraid to lose customers. Then again he was from tech support not customer retention. And as I said t mobile does listen to its customers.
[General Topics] andTab:
Since I did encounter this also on my Nexus 5x with LineageOS, I doubt that what T-Mobile told you is true. They must be actively blocking these non-certified handsets, since the phone should just attempt connecting.
[General Topics] POMF2K:
So who do we need to appeal to? T mobile or Sony.?
[General Topics] andTab:
Both. Maybe also complain to the FCC - I thought that carriers needed to provide open access to their network. Verizon got into hot water for not doing so ...
[General Topics] POMF2K:
Does your compact ever connect to lte for a few seconds after a reboot?

I might try to force LTE and restart and see if that has any effect.

I just flashed the UK. T mobile networks work just fine. Well except lte/4g but that was expected.
[General Topics] andTab:
It does connect sometimes but it then usually kicks down to Band 4 or a GSM band (HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, or even GPRS).

I cannot find any info how to prioritize LTE bands, so I assume this is T-Mobile's band 12 cell tower's kicking the phone off when they notice that it is not VoLTE approved.
[General Topics] POMF2K:
Interesting discussion on Howard forums....

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...rtphones-with-band-12-LTE-w-o-VoLTE-now/page2
[General Topics] andTab:
Interesting discussion though nothing new.

Yes, we know that Band 12 phones should be able to get a data connection, yet T-Mobile apparently actively disconnects them (or bars them from connecting), especially in areas where Band 12 would give you great coverage but there is no other coverage.

F Sony and F T-Mobile for this!

BTW: here is an article about the follow up model: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/08/sony-xperia-xz1-compact/

Please leave comments about Sony not getting their phones approved for VoLTE with T-Mobile and the phone therefore NOT REALLY WORKING with the carrier.
[General Topics] andTab:
It would seem to me that the only solution to this problem would be either T-Mobile accepting a standard spec for VoLTE, they open source their code for VoLTE, or someone figures out how to implement VoLTE and trick T-Mobile to think it is an approved "whitelisted" phone.

Given that the T-Mobile network is getting worse and worse every day without Band 12 coverage, I find it really surprising that most people just don't seem to care. Does nobody use their phone outside of WiFi?
[General Topics] sovanyio:
There is a standard spec, the problem is the certification. It requires a certificate from T-mobile to be used by the phone, which is gained through certification. And if SONY is detecting T-mobile at the modem level then there isn't anything a ROM can do with or without a ROM. I had a Z5, but this drove me crazy so I switched to a Pixel.

I wouldn't expect this to change based on SONY de-prioritizing the US phone market, so either upgrade to a new supported sony phone or move on (shrug)
[General Topics] andTab:
That can't be true.

I accept that T-Mobile may issue a certificate but that must be processed on the rom/OS/phone.apk level. Otherwise, every custom ROM on any certified phone would work. We all know that is not the case.

If it's the rom/OS/phone.apk though, why can't we hack a phone to work with TMUS / VoLTE?

I have an x compact and while it is the best device I have ever owned it is essentially unusable on T-Mobile or att.
[General Topics] sovanyio:
Because the SONY modem firmware doesn't even attempt to negotiate VoLTE, which does *not* happen in user space. It is likely possible to hack the qualcomm modem with QPST to enable this, but without documentation and correct values one will not get very far.
[General Topics] andTab:
If it was the modem, then flashing a new system (eg custom ROM) should not make any difference.

I also have a Nexus 5x. With stock it is fantastic and uses VoLTE on T-Mobile. With LineageOS, it is useless on Band 12. SAME MODEM!

Experience therefore shows that it is the OS/System that somehow prevents this from working.
[General Topics] sovanyio:
The Nexus 5x is a different phone made by a different manufacturer with a different firmware scheme. You cannot compare them directly.
[General Topics] POMF2K:
I noticed that the XZ1 Compact says right on the website compatible with t mobile band 12 and wifi calling... this is infuriating. It should be easy for them to patch the Xperia x compact.

I would have never purchased this if I had known. Especially since they apparently flashed an update to my old t mobile z3 that allows voice over lte and band 12.
[General Topics] revjamescarver:
Sony X Compact

It has to be on Sony, use the t-mobile BYOD app to check, I have a Huawei mate 9 that I just purchased, connects perfectly on band 12, VoLTE works just like it's supposed to. On a side note I went through three Sony phones before I bought this Huawei, had to return all three due to quality control issues, one had worst touches that made the phone unusable, one wouldn't pick up the SIM card, and the third wouldn't power on at all, thank good Amazon refunded my money on all three. They may have the Sony name on the phone, but they are still build by the lowest bidder in China and makes with Sony's name.
[General Topics] sovanyio:
See this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...cked-smartphones-and-yep-its-still-confusing/ It is up to an OEM to decide to go through this process per-phone. Since no US carrier carried the phone they didn't not bother spending the money or time to certify it. I loved the SONY design, but since they weren't supporting the market I had to abandon them for other phones.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] reCoded:
Would anyone care if I shared my stock theme for LineageOS mod? If you didn't know, LineageOS uses a dark gray theme instead of the bluish gray in stock Android. The mod I made fixes that. Have a look at the image below for a comparison of Lineage and stock Android.

Mobile surfing (suffering) on Web

Nice if it's that fast! Because the Mobile Opera Browser v.8.65 is very slow... even on my X51v...

Then I made a simple test, as they did, to load The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk) using Opera 8.65 took exactly 55 seconds, and it was useless, because all the page was truncated, pictures at low res and very expanded, breaking news doesn´t work...

After I used Pocket Internet Explorer from WM6 (Football A03RTM+SP1), Options: High resolution, Show Images, Desktop. Had the same time 55 seconds, but it was readable (a little messed, but fine), pictures clear and beautiful, size ok. Breaking News at the corner of page, not usable really.

Finally, Picsel Browser took 32 sec to load, the page looks almost exactly that on desktop computer, but no video or "breaking news", the end of the page was single column, plus there is a nice "smart scrolling" feature and a fast and reliable zoom.:)

this looks great, i cant wait for it. i like what theyve done with the zooming, but i would prefer there was more than 2 zooming options. i would prefer what htc album does, for example if you double tap faster it zooms in more and if you double tap slower it zooms in not as much.

Adobe has no plan to make FL3 availabel for window mobile although it was once touted as a multiplatform thing. See here:

Unfortunately the TCPMP + FlashBundle solution only works in IE and not Opera.

:(

Unfortunately the link has been removed from the Adobe website.

Anyway, even without FL3, the much improved rendering speed, widget, and user interface are already serious improvements for me to look forward to.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] JukeJoke:
Hi there!

I have a P9 (EVA-L09) on my desk, which is in an inconsistent state. Meaning, that it in original condition it was a C02 with German Vodafone branding. Then the owner flashed some Nougat beta (can't remember which one), wasn't happy with Nougat and wanted to go back to MM by using the official rollback package provided by Huawei. The dload update failed and then he tried to flash different versions stock roms (can't remember either), leaving it in a constant bootloop. So first thing i tried was flashing TWRP. It boots up, but the touchscreen is not working. I think this is because some of the partitions where destroyed (firmware e.g.). So I flashed the C432B182 recovery and tried to dload the C432B182 firmware. The update process stops at 5%, maybe because in the meantime the device was converted to a C900? So I tried to get some C02 firmwares. The oldest I could get was C02B339. dload started the update process and failed at nearly 100% with the "Software install failed" message - no additional information. Because I have only fastboot and no adb connection, I can't rebrand to C432 (only adb shell in twrp is running, but I can't access the internal memory from there - or can I?). So these are the hard facts and I don't see any way to get a working rom on the P9. So, is there anyone with another idea? Would be great. Thanks!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] JukeJoke:
Ok, I got it working again. Here are my steps, just in case anyone gets in the same situation:

1. Flash Stock recovery through fastboot, extracted from C432B182

2. Boot to Stock recovery with Vol Up + Power, it should start

3. Wipe cache and try to factory reset - won't work

4. Put C432B182 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on SD card

5. Tried Vol Up + Down force flash, but it did'nt work, so I wanted to get back into recovery by starting with VOL Up, and voila - it started flashing the B182 from SD card, BUT says failed at 99%

6. After that, boot into recovery again and see that factory reset now works

7. After factory reset restart phone and enjoy your unbricked P9 on C900B182. From here you can change to C432 with the known manuals to get the latest updates

Here's my question for everyone. I currently have the Sprint model, and a sprint service repair center within a few miles. Also insurance on the device.

If I were to unlock the bootloader, I know that it technically voids the warranty through Motorola, but has anyone had experience with whether or not they relay that information to the carrier / insurance providers?

Because theoretically something goes wrong with the phone unrelated to the unlocked bootloader, and I need to swap it out at a Sprint store, do they check with Moto first?

I'd only be unlocking the bootloader (if I do), to make a regular TWRP backup (when it's released), and freeze the Sprint bloatware. No over clocking, rooting, or Anything like that.
