[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jknightandkarr:
As the title says my tablet is a VK700 by LG and has android ver 5.0.2 build no is LRX22G software ver VK70029A, no mods or rooted or anything, but there is an issue that I cannot fix using factory resets or updates. I am hoping someone here will be able to assist me. There are some apps on my tablet, as of this post it's all my internet browsers, MeowMeow Star Acres, Class Royale, Clash of Clans, Ancient Aliens, Forge of Empires, SimCity Build It and King of Avalon. These are the ones I know of, but it crashes the games out like I just hit the Home button. No error messages or anything just blank screen n then the menu. And some apps/games crash ALOT more then others. Star Acres & Clash Royale crash alot more then Forge of Empires or King of Avalon, which almost NEVER does it. Which isn't making any sense to me. I have other games which have NEVER done it one time. The other one is on games like King of Avalon I hit the chat menu for example, the keyboard pops up, I type then i get either A)The keyboard just goes away and can't get it back easily and/or i hit the button to delete text and I get something like this "likethis this".

I thought of putting custom android on it, but if I can fix this that works too. Also would be nice to get rid of apps that I have never opened one time. Thanks.

Hi Joe,

Apparently we are the only two people to have purchased this tablet. I do have one question and possible solution for you. Like you, my apps were quitting randomly on me and I could not figure out why. I once had LTE coverage with my tablet but had discontinued that service once I had the device off contract with Verizon. Is that the same with you? Do you use it exclusively on Wi-Fi? If you do, I suggest you remove the SIM card from the device and see if that helps. For some odd reason that helped me tremendously.

Best of Luck!
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jknightandkarr:
Thats quality made from LG....... Ok, I will try that. Thanks. I as well no longer have service on it. Will remove it and try my apps n see if that solves it.

When I put my phone in the station it goes black and my tv does the same for a second. Than te tv says no signal. When I unplug my phone it says "samsung dex"... Is it because my tv has only 720p?

I was having problems with the DeX not detecting and also charging the phone every time I put it on, had to try 6/7 times, but it seems fixed after latest update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rob_h:
I had a Dex Station which would charge the phone and allow USB peripherals to be used but no video out or detection of it by my phone. I returned that one and bought another from someone else and it works perfectly. It could be a defective unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
power supply can also be an issue. only my original note 8 works. I've tried with an s8 fast charger and it dont work. i have also tried with numerous 3rd party fast chargers and also did not work.( quick charge 2 and 3 compatible)

One other tip is, if you freeze or remove the Samsung Keyboard, Dex will not work. They are tied together.

After having issues with mine I found that little tidbit on line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:

but as any good trouble shooter would do, if it dosent work on stock rom and settings then issue is not on the phones side.

it was December or January update not Oreo that fixed it, flashed Oreo on my other Note 8 but haven't tried that in DeX mode yet so not sure if there's any changes in Oreo there, I would imagine it can use the new DeX pad though
[General Questions and Answers] danj2k:
Does anyone know if there has been a change in Android Chrome's behaviour regarding trusting user/admin installed CA certificates in recent Android versions (e.g. 7/8)?

I just recently got an Android Oreo device (Sony Xperia XZ1) and connected it to my workplace's wifi, but found that even with their proxy CA certificate installed, Chrome cannot get to Google (though it can get to a number of other HTTPS sites). This behaviour didn't occur in Android Marshmallow (my old phone, a Sony Xperia Z3, works just fine Googling in Chrome with the CA cert installed).

If it is the case that Chrome's behaviour has changed and that is by design, is there any way to change a setting or a policy or something to permit trusting user/admin installed certificates for enterprise purposes?

Or if the change was unintentional, can someone direct me to the correct place to file a bug report?

At my workplace we need to be able to filter Google searches due to the UK "PREVENT" anti-terrorism legislation, so asking IT Services to disable filtering for Google is not an option.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] unbakedfive:
Has anyone been able to get 4G service working for the Mix 2 on verizon. I have googled and entered in all the APN's I could find. I keep getting the error message Access Point Name settings are not available for this user. I can get 3g service to work just by inputting vzwinternet and leaving everything else undefined, but I cant get it connected to 4G. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hello...Yes. Verizon LTE works fine.

If you have the APN set correctly, try going into the testing menu (Dialer -- > *#*# 4636 #*#* --> Phone Information 1/2 --> ), entering whichever "Phone Information" relates to the Verizon SIM in use, and manually switching off the "Cellular Radio Power" setting (you may have to toggle it twice as it likes to turn itself back on)...waiting 20 seconds or so...and then switching the radio power back on. I can absolutely confirm that LTE on Verizon works fine though there does seem to be some funniness with respect to the Mi Mix 2's radio firmware when it has a CDMA SIM installed.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] unbakedfive:
Do you mind sharing what APN you used? I tried toggling Cellular Radio Power but the APN settings still won't save. I entered in the settings shown below and then I get this message shown below
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Arghhhh...how frustrating. The APN I'm using is "vzwinternet" so it's the same as the one you'd mentioned above...plus the LTE connection should work (though it may be inactive) even with the wrong APN.

I did run into this exact same scenario when I was messing around with two Verizon SIMs just for testing purposes and it seemed like the radio toggle worked...maybe keep trying it...and doing some reboots and stuff? The only other thing I can think of is maybe trying a GSM SIM temporarily (AT&T or T-Mobile) in place of your Verizon SIM to sort of "reset" it...and then putting your Verizon SIM back in...the other possibility is toggling the network types a bit in the testing menu? Mine's on LTE/CDMA/UMTS (auto) but maybe try going to CDMA only...LTE/CDMA auto...etc. to see if you can kick the radio in the butt a bit. I swear the Mi Mix 2 can connect to all of Verizon's LTE bands just fine...I've definitely seen mine on B13, 4, and 2...so it really can work...but there's some weird thing going on in the firmware that creates this issue I believe. I also had it when I first put my Verizon SIM in though a reboot initially fixed it...sounds like yours is more persistent...

Also - try untoggling VoLTE both in the Dual SIM menu and the testing menu - I think sometimes these dual SIM phones have some issues with VoLTE sort of holding the LTE connection "hostage," even if only for emergency calls...though this is just speculation. My old Axon 7 from ZTE had this same sort of issue from time to time.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Oh! One other thing - did you try moving your Verizon SIM into the other SIM slot in the tray? Maybe that might help...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] unbakedfive:
I fixed it by flashing the developer ROM. As soon as I installed it all of the Verizon APNs came up and I was able to connect to 4G. Thanks for all your help.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] spy890:
I have been waiting to purchase the Mi Mix 2 for confirmation of Verizon 4g compatibility, as it seems you guys have just confirmed. So thanks for that! Also, what are you referring to by the "developer ROM"? I see there's an EU rom available
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] unbakedfive:
http://en.miui.com/download-334.html If you look here there is a stable ROM and a developer rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Does the bootloader need to be unlocked &/or TWRP installed to move from factory stable to the Developer ROM,or,just follow the guide in the link you provided?

With my previous Xioami devices,I never used the Dev ROMs,went straight to the Bootloader unlock > TWRP> Root > ROM of your choice route,so,just wanna get the methodology correct before proceeding.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
No you don't need bootloader unlock to switch to the beta ROMs. You just need to download the relevant zip file and place it in a particular folder on your SD card (downloaded_rom) and then run the update manually from the settings menu. The instructions at the following URL work quite well except that I just downloaded the zip file directly to my SD card from the browser versus using a computer and then transferring it with a USB cable.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
THX, downloading the Dev ROM now....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stuartmc:
Though the developer Rom may fix the problem, I'm wondering if the Mi Mix 2's dual SIM setup is as buggy as the ZTE Axon 7's when trying to get Verizon CDMA working. With the Axon 7, you had to set it up initially with a working GSM Sim in slot 1, before you could switch over to a Verizon SIM and get it to hold the new APN and function properly. The Axon 7 was also configured such that your CDMA SIM must be in slot 1. It would not work at all in SIM slot 2. I'm thinking that these Chinese made dual sim slots may be birds made of the same feather.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hello...I have an Axon 7 A2017U and a Mi Mix 2...I'd say the Mi Mix 2 is a bit better in this respect (I ran Verizon on my Axon 7 as well). But, I did have some of the same issues as the OP when I initially put my Verizon SIM in and a reboot and radio settings dance seemed to fix it.

However, the Mi Mix 2 generally does not have the CDMA roaming issue that the Axon 7 had, nor the '123456' carrier issue that the Axon 7 had (i.e., it shows Verizon on 3G and 1X).

So, there is some of the oddities that I ran into with the Axon still sort of present in the Mix 2 but it's not bad...I think it's related to VoLTE but that's just a guess...but all in all the Mi Mix 2 does work a bit better than the Axon 7 did with Verizon...though I never had a great deal of trouble running Verizon on the Axon 7, admittedly...I think some people had a lot more difficulty than I did for some reason.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Oh! And one more thing...you can use either SIM slot 1 *or* 2 in the Mi Mix 2 for Verizon...you can actually run two CDMA SIMs but they won't be able to work at the same time...only one will get calls and texts.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] FSB:
When you loaded the Developer ROM did it wipe all the exisiting data and accounts on the phone.

I just spent two days setting the phone up, don't want to do that again.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Yes,going from the stock official ROM to the Developer ROM will wipe everything.

Same here, basically just finished setting up & get to do it again.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] FSB:
I may wait then, would prefer a global ROM
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stuartmc:
Great post! This is really good to know, since I will be running a GSM and CDMA Sim simultaneously in the Mix 2, just like I did in my Axon 7. My Axon was very slow and flakey switching between Sims and yea, that 123456 carrier thing was for the birds. The other issue with the Axon 7 was cellular signal strength. I was getting 5 to 15 db lower signal strength everywhere and since it didn't have LTE band 12 for T-mobiles 700 Mhz channel, the in building reception was even worse. How are you finding the signal reception with the Mix 2?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hm...my Axon 7 did have band 12 support - did you have an A2017U?

As far as the signal strength, on CDMA/EvDO and also LTE I do notice about a 3-5 dBm increase in the signal in the Mi Mix 2 vs. the Axon 7 (pictured below - Mi Mix 2 on left, Axon 7 on right...opposite in the last two pictures in case positioning had an effect on signal). Of course, the test is highly unscientific! But, yes...there does seem to be a bit better reception which maybe is due to the use of ceramic vs. metal? Not sure...or just better engineering or modem firmware optimization...not sure.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] stuartmc:
Yes, that's the model. I guess I was confusing it with one of my other phones. The LG V20 I used right after selling the Axon 7 had WAY better reception indoors so I thought it was a band 12 issue. I think the Snapdragon 835 chip with the X16 modem does a better job of optimization in the Mix 2, but I don't know if it has all the hardware- like 4 antenna mimo- for LTE CA. The ceramic is certainly more transparent to cell signals than the Axons metal chassis. Thanks for your informal "scientific" study.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
I'm prepaid Verizon and MintSim on the same device. I have the Verizon sim in slot 2. What I did to get Verizon to work on LTE is use the Dialer code *#*#4636#*#* to get to the info settings, go to the sim 2 settings and choose Global Auto. That is what the newer Verizon phones are using now. Made sure VoLTE was turned on and backed out, went to the sim settings in the general settings and made sure VoLTE was turned on there. Then go APN settings and set up the Verizon APN. Only thing you have to set in the name Verizon and APN vzwinternet. Nothing else needs to be filled in. Just save. Might take a reboot to work. MintSim worked out of the box after the APN was set up. Name Alpha, APN wholesale. Best wishes. CF.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] ws16zx:
which ROM

Is the developer ROM a China ROM or Global ROM? i only see the China rom on that URL.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
It's a China rom. The global rom is in the upper right tab of that same page. You can't install the global rom unless your bootloader is unlocked. The hoops you have to go through to unlock your bootloader if you are outside of China are confusing. Be prepared to be frustrated and angry and confused at the same time. You can install the Chinese developer rom without unlocking the bootloader. I wasn't getting my notifications and had to go back to stable.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Only way I could get service on Verizon was to load the Chinese Dev ROM. The problem is that Netflix and Hulu and who knows what else doesn't work on this ROM. Thinking of selling this already and going back to my Essential or getting a V30.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] duraaraa:
If you're bootloader unlocked you can load the xiaomi eu rom. Netflix and friends work fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
I'm not unlocked yet, have to wait. I know Netflix and Hulu work on the other ROMs. I had the global ROM installed and tried on the Chinese ROM before that.. Problem is I can't get 4g to work on Verizon on those ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
You have to follow the instructions in post 21. Change to Global Auto. Also the Global rom is out and everything is working on it. This is way better then the Essential phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
I tried everything in this thread and the only thing that worked was flashing the China Dev ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hi...I had some issues with mine on Saturday and I'm convinced now more than ever that the problems with Verizon LTE service on the Mix 2 are related to VoLTE provisioning.

But, let me disclaim that everything below as far as fixes is based on conjecture only.

But anyway, I'd suggest the following...as persistently working through the below actions seemed to clear the issue for me (granted, I'm operating dual SIM GSM+CDMA so that makes it even worse).

Remove all SIM cards and reboot the phone; then turn the phone off and re-insert your Verizon SIM and reboot.

Attempt a variety of network modes, including Global auto, EvDO only, etc. to see if the radio will reset itself

Disable VoLTE provisioning both in the Settings/SIM cards & mobile networks menu and also the testing menu

Rinse and repeat the above until the phone starts working...even maybe try a hot swap of the SIM card while it's on

It seems that regardless of the ROM, the Mi Mix 2 has some issues with CDMA SIMs. Again, in my case it seems that

leaving VoLTE off

on the Verizon side has helped enormously but of course this is a major downer as I like to have VoLTE. At present, I have a Verizon SIM in slot 1 and a MintSIM in slot 2 (T-Mobile) on the global ROM and things are working well. I do have VoLTE enabled in settings but it seems that the phone is only receiving VoLTE on SIM 2 (T-Mobile) and still is using the 1X connection for calls on Verizon...so things are pretty much working perfectly for now.

Just be persistent - there will be some sequence of the above actions that will get the phone working again...there's definitely a bug in the firmware that's causing this and I believe it's present on all the ROMs, even the dev ones...it's just that sometimes a reload of the ROM seems to clear it, at least temporarily...so it can mislead us into thinking that the dev ROMs are better. But again, this is just my conjecture based on trying several of the ROM options.

As a side note, ZTE's Axon 7 seems to have a very similar problem with Verizon...I feel like having Dual SIM CDMA+GSM phones are a tough deal...especially with VoLTE going between the two carriers. It seems like the IMS connection might not be getting properly reset when switching between SIMs (or maybe in SIM activation? In the case of a single SIM use case?) and thereafter the LTE connection is sort of held hostage...but again this is just a guess.

Oddly enough, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 didn't have any of these issues when I used it on Verizon+T-Mobile a while back so I'm not sure why Xiaomi seems to have backtracked with the Mix 2... frustrating to say the least.

I've attached a screenshot of my settings in the testing menu which seems to support a stable Verizon connection, even between reboots. Good luck!!!

Hi, I tried the thing regarding Global Auto and it worked. But, I am not getting LTE. Should I flash the dev ROM or is there an easier fix?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Did you check to see if you have LTE preferred in your cellular settings for that Sim? Also is that sim selected for internet?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] FyverIO:
I just checked that and found out it was set to 3G. So I changed it, and it is still 3G. Yes the SIM can connect to LTE internet all fine on my 6P
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Did you restart the phone after you changed it? I switched to the Global ROM. Having Google Services built in makes it much more reliable with notifications and familiar. Very close to stock android. It automatically filled in the phone settings to the default and I had LTE right out of the update.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] FyverIO:
LTE is now the least of my worries..at 12:22 every day the phone radios go beserk. Wi-Fi is unable to connect, mobile data is turned off, can only be set to LTE UMTS CDMA PRL instead of Global auto, and it requires a factory reset to fix. So should I flash Global Rom to this? Or would China dev rom work also?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
That happened to me on the global ROM. I recall what I did was remove the SIMs, reboot the phone with no SIMs, wait a minute, power the the phone off, reinstall the Verizon SIM only, and then reboot the phone. Also make sure VoLTE is turned OFF as soon as possible. Are you operating dual SIM or just single SIM?

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Also as a side note, the Chinese development ROM and also the Epic ROM seem to work better. The latter requires an unlocked bootloader of course but it may be worth trying. I did have to set the phone up with only one SIM active at a time but after doing so dual SIM works fine as does Verizon VoLTE.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Coffee Freak:
Amigo if you are really in Shanghai, good luck. I don't even know what network Verizon would be roaming in China but it would be a GSM network and possibly only 3G.
