I saw this other post about a possible tmobile signal fix. Also mentioned in it is possibly fixing the wifi stuff https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/help/t-mobile-signal-fix-t3831518
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] p51d007:
I think it might have to do with Band 30, which is the LTE+ , and is a 2300mhz frequency.

Most of the time, straight LTE, runs on Band 17, that is 700mhz (I'm on straight talk, your

bands might be different depending on your carrier).

2300mhz is 2.3Ghz. The lower frequency will "travel farther" but the 2.3Ghz, typically

will penetrate buildings better. If you turn off LTE+, you might have a more stable signal,

but you MIGHT have a slower data transfer rate. Shoot, in my coverage area, at&t (via straight talk)

is so overloaded that during the day, I'm lucky to get 10-15meg down, 3-4 up on transfers

via the Open Signal app.

I was out of town all day today, and once I got out of the city limits, the "+" signal went away,

and the plain LTE signal stayed on. I was testing streaming a local radio station, and went to

another town 60 miles away, through the Missouri Ozarks of hills. Not once did I lose the signal.

Might try just going in and turning off the + part to see if it stabilizes the signal level.

I'm sure once the build out of LTE+ is stable, the signals might stabilize a bit more.

It is a known issue the PH-1 does have some signal issues, which I think might be the design of

the all metal build, especially when you start looking at the harmonics involved with UHF &

microwave signals. Just a theory...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] th3drow:
Verizon, coming from a Moto Z2 Play. Moto had LTE almost always in the home, the PH1 doesn't always. Outside of the home it seems fairly even, though I will have a little better idea after a few days driving to work and around town.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] p51d007:
Finally had to give up :(

Couple of places I have to visit, NO LTE signal, sometimes no H+ signal with Straight Talk (at&t sim).

Had to go back to my Huawei Mate 9.

The essential is a great phone, hampered by signal issues.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cb474:
On the Essential website is says that the phone has four microphones: "4x microphones with noise cancellation and beam forming."

I'm wondering how this affects call quality for noise cancellation (and if all four microphones are in fact used in calls--or is it just used for detecting voice commands). Has anyone tested how well the phone cancels out background noise? In other words, when you are in a noisy place, how much of the noise does your caller on the other end of the line hear?

In-call noise cancellation is an area with phones that has really languished and in fact mostly gone backwards, technologically. I still haven't seen a phone with better noise cancellation than my Nexus One (that used the amazing Audience chip, which no one uses anymore--because Qualcomm includes a noise cancellation function in their chipsets now, which is not as good, but, well, comes with the chipset at no extra cost.)

Secondarily, how is audio recording quality in videos?

Thanks for any feedback.

i have same issue too. front cam is normally bad also in default app, but on snapchat it is awful
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Front camera is not normally bad in default app, you must have software or hardware issue. This is a Snapchat issue, you should probably email developer.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Basol:
I mean against the main camera. front is not so good. i tested it with 4-5 devices at same quality level they are all slightly better in terms of front camera. i dont know my device has problem or not but, i couldn't take clear photo in close-up. it seems little bit blurry
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
Of course the rear camera is going to be better than the front camera. You can not take close up pictures with the front(selfie cam). Phone needs to be at least a foot away(arms length is better).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] TravisH997:
Threes definitely an issue with Snapchat and the front camera on this phone. The photos are ridiculously grainy and much worse than front photos taken with the stock camera app.

Yes it is. Snapchat team needs to fix that on their software. But I don't think that it will be soon
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jerry77827:
I have a Huawei mate 8 NXT-L29C185B190. It has a unlocked bootloader and TWRP. Recently my phone has been restarting at 90-95% charge. After it restarts it says the battery is zero and then dies. So I am thinking of installing stock firmware. So I have 3 question.

1) why causes your phone to be bricked(softer and hard) when flashing stock firmware?

2)Any solutions to fixing the battery problem?

3) is this link the correct stock firmware(I have 4 gb ram, 64 GB version)

in nougat, you could set app priority for notifications, but of course Google in all its wisdom completely removed a feature to turn off a "feature" that so many of us can't stand. if you disable heads up via adb, it ruins the ambient display in that it won't light up when a message comes through anymore... don't ask me why, but Google is full of morons coding nowadays. anyone have any idea?

I updated the EMUI version on my ALE-L02 from 3.1 to 4.1 using TWRP recovery. The disadvantage of this is that I lost TWRP afterwards as it was replaced by the stock recovery.

I tried to flash TWRP to the phone again using ADB, which said that the flash was successful. However, when rebooting into recovery mode, it boots into the stock recovery. Why is it doing this/how do I fix it?

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTutorials:
Try just pressing vol. up+ power, that happened to me sometimes. Also, as a tip, when flashing EMUI from TWRP first backup recovery than flash it. After that, don't reboot, go back and restore the recovery. Much easier for me.

Hello, this is a guaranteed working method to get any android Platlogo for any android 4.0+! :D

Let's go.

First of all, your phone must be rooted and have xposed framework activated.

Open xposed, search for eggster. Press on it,swipe to the last tab. And get experimental versions to be shown. Download the latest version, activate the module then reboot. Open Eggster from your launcher, activate your desired Platlogo.

And then it's there! :D

PSST: NO need to reboot after switching between Platlogos.

Hope you like. ;D

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallasmanic:
I received tons of cases as usual, but i am pretty impressed by the leather case i received.

I actually used their case for Galaxy S8 for 1 month, liked it, but it was a little bit too thick

When i received the note 8 case, i found it is 1/3 thinner, and they finally add the magnetic closure.

i will update it when i receive my phone at Wed

BTW, the company is looking for testers to provide feedback for their products, if you are interested, you can go to their page www.facebook.com/artech21 ask for one.

the link of the cases i received from amazon :

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dallasmanic:
Very nice, quality leather!!

First off, the presentation. The way the product is package, you can tell it was shipped with care! I was quite taken back by the hand-written note I found in the case, it was thoughtful and really present the quality of the company.

The case itself is nice made. It feels nice in the hand and does not come with any odd smells I tend to get from the so call leather cases I have bought in the past from others. The texture is nice and is true to the leather. It is genuine leather, do not let my bad pictures present otherwise. The stitching is good!

What I love about the case is the wallet part about it. I have stopped buying regular cases for my phone since the s4 and now only get wallet cases. This is by far one of the sturdy ones that I have found, making it perfect as a phone stance. The wallet part is tight but you can put a good 3-4 cards in there, including your ID card. The cash pocket is really night as well, it is not completely loose and I can tell with time, it will retain the shape.

I also really like the case itself, where you can place the phone, because of the edge raise. In the event the wallet falls open, I am confident my phone will stay intact along with the screen. Additionally, the magnet on the case is good, it does not open doing your typical everyday movements, unless you open it yourself. Lastly, the cut outs for the camera, charging, microphone, the pen, and the head-jack are all point. I have not received my phone yet but I was able to test it out with my friend Note 8.

This is simply a quality product, I love it! My friend will be ordering the black one as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Dude2:
Bought the Nomad Leather case from Best Buy. A really good Folio type case holds the Note 8 very secure, yet easy to get out when needed. Buttons and S-pen are easy to get to as well. Does a good job of protecting camera lens too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] krabman:
My post was more than a month ago folks before the phones actual release date, they were quite a few of us that received them early as you'll recall. At that time I had already returned one case because of the magnet and had a second that was canceled by the manufacturer before they sent it. So a valid warning in its time but more than a month later I would expect most cases that had problems with the magnet have long since sorted it out. I'm on a black DavisCase now, it's exactly what you would expect from them with both superior leather quality and above average construction.

Hi guys, I've been trying to get the bootloader unlocked on my new p10 but I can't seem to get to the webpage where I can get the unlock code...

I think it may have something to do with me being in Ireland and not being able to create an id for Ireland (or even the UK for that fact). I even tried using a GPS spoofer and made it look like I'm in China and then set up a new bogey email and registered a new account and STILL got error 404 when I logged in. FML

I used my regular email address and, no offence, but I'm not giving you that. If they won't give you an unlock code then they probably have a reason for it.

They said it represent security issues and voids warranty :rolleyes: but thankyou for judging me.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] N1ghtr08d:
I wasn't judging you. What I meant was that they probably have a reason for not allowing unlocked bootloaders in your country. It was nothing personal so I'm sorry if you took it that way.

Try again using a different email maybe. All I did was go to the Huawei site for my country, go to the service page, then click on the "contact us" section.

Give it another try with a different email. Hopefully you'll get someone who will give it to you because I was told about the loss of warranty also but they still gave it to me.

Hi all.

I'm considering to buy an Amazfit Pace to track my activities. I watched many videos about it on YouTube, but I have 2 doubts that still remain.

- Have Amazfit pace an Auto Pause when recording run and bike activities? Today I use Strava or Runtastic to record my activities and both have this functionality.

- Is it possible to record any other activity with Amazfit? For example, I usually train with Nike Training Club app and today I monitor and record my activity with Runtastic app. Is it possible to record and monitor my training with Amazfit?

Thank you,

Waldir.

Yes it is (i currently have pacefied + strava), but you don't need to do this anymore because the US stock firmware also has the automatic pause feature too (new firmware was released just last week to enable this).

I know this has probably been covered to death in various posts here but I have tried a lot of what is written here and haven't been able to fix my hdx. I am currently stuck in a fastboot loop. Though sometimes it boots into bulk mode, which is strange, but I can get it back into fastboot eventually. Anyone out there able to walk me through steps to figure out what I did and get it back to working, preferably with TWRP and Lineage OS installed. I will just take getting back in to Fire OS atm sine this is giving me a headache. Anyway, I am using a win 10 machine and have fastboot ready on the KF right now. I am going to leave it this way for the time being. I originally used this https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-4-5-5-2-easy-to-root-unlock-t3571240 to go about getting this to where I could install a custom ROM but missed the adb composite drivers before I ran the unlock.bat. I have since gotten that straightened out and even ran the unlock.bat and it succeeded. I have reflashed recovery.img and a boot.img though it isn't the right one. (I was desperate and tried some dumb stuff and flashed the boot.img from my lineage os zip via fastboot)(yeah I know, stupid, but like I said, desperate)

Enough rambling for now. Anyway think they can help me with this issue? [MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] maybe? or [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION].

Please and thank you!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Above my pay-grade upon learning you flashed the LineageOS boot.img. Most likely will need to fix this (if repairable) from bulk mode. I believe [MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] is the only one with sufficient knowledge to take this on; also know he's usually quite busy.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FumundaSaq:
Thanks anyway. I know i screwed it up pretty badly but hoping since i can still get into fastboot and bulk mode that maybe it's still salvageable. Not holding my breath at this point. Thanks again
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
You should be fine

As long as your HDX responds to fastboot commands as expected,

your desired outcome should be achievable. Now, since you got

desperate and did a bunch of random stuff, let's start with checking

if that HDX is unlocked. (I suspect it isn't, otherwise that boot.img

from Lineage should just work.)

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme \?

Next, if it were still locked, do you have the unlock code?

If so, try to unlock, and if that works, see if that fixes booting.

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock unlock.code

If the unlock fails or you're still having problems after a successful

unlock, I'd need to get some clarity regarding that bulk mode you

mention. Since it's -apperently- entered spontaneously (is it?) and

appears to be recoverable without too much effort(correct?), I'd

expect this to be the Sahara-style serial communication bulk mode,

and not the one that exposes all partitions to the host OS (you'd know,

since the latter generates a ton of dialogs asking to format those).

What cable (or cables) are you using? That serial bulk mode can be

consistently entered with a fastboot cable, but I find the kind of

intermittent triggering you describe rather strange...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FumundaSaq:
Ok. First of, thanks [MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] for helping. Second i am including the pic i took of the txt on hdx screen after input of both commands. I honestly don't know what i am looking for so i will let you see it and tell me.

As for the bulk mode, it is the mode that produces the 8 or 9 drives in Windows(and Linux). The intermittent part is that sometimes it isn't recognized correctly by Windows. Sometimes it is recognized as the qloader 9008 like it should be. Sometimes Windows says it is an unrecognized usb device.

Hopefully that makes sense.
