[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] s2kdriver80:
Ok... so I played around with another T-Mobile Note 8 and the results were very similar to the first one. The older T-Mobile Note 5 seems to be more capable of pulling in weak signals in a shielded building. However, the Note 8 has a much higher ceiling provided that the reception is good. In the mall parking lot of the T-Mobile store, I was able to download at a speed of 150+ Mb/s on the Note 8 while the Note 5 was limited to around 100 Mb/s.

From what I've read newer faster frequencies are weaker...that's why 5G antennas are being deployed at shorter distances...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] mardukeme:
I have the unlocked Note 8 version running on T-Mobile, with a family member who has the Mobile version of the Note 8. When doing speed test next to each, the unlocked version seams to be a lot faster. Seems like the unlocked version is using CA more efficiently. While the T-Mobile version camps on Band 12 as primary more often even with a decent band 2, or 4 available. The unlocked version seams to choose, a less overloaded band as the primary band first.

Speed test were around 20-40mb faster with the unlocked version, some areas even had double the speed. A few times the speeds were very close between the two. Might be the radio needs to be updated, or you can try flashing the unlocked version radio.

I recently upgraded from a T-Mobile Note 5 to a Note8. We travel from Greensboro, NC to Harrisburg, PA quite often and I've noticed that on those trips the Note 5 outperformed the Note8 in reception. Couldn't believe it myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] s2kdriver80:
This is what I'm continuously finding, pretty consistently... that when the signal is strong, the Note 8's speed is pretty awesome and trounces the Note 5. However, when the signal is lacking, the Note 8 really struggles pretty badly. I hope T-Mobile will fix this with their next update. The fact that the unlocked version of the Note 8 seems to pull in signals better than the T-Mobile-branded version (reportedly) means that this should be fixable by firmware.

My speed tests using same location and server are almost the same with my other Samsung device compared to my tmo Note 8. Not better and not worst.

This is easily the fastest phone I've had both Wi-Fi and network.

My n5 is be lucky to hit 80 mbs off the network and 55 on Wi-Fi. I pay for 65 off Spectrum.

Hi, I have a samsung note 5 with factory reset protection because my brother doesnt remember his gmail from when he set up the phone and none of the methods to unlock it are working. Ive tried making a call and it works but i cant get out of the phone app, ive tried the otg method and the keyboard method. Everything I try doesnt work. I dont care if i have to totally erase it and put a custom whatever on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohhaxs:
Hi! I believe you could always flash the same rom onto it. When you boot up the phone, hold power+home button+ volume down. Download and open odin (many guides here) and flash the same firmware to the phone. If you know your phone's software version or an equivalent version, then try googling for the tar.md5 file of it. Make sure to have re-partition checked as well and flash the rom onto it.

Another way (not sure if this is accessible on your phone but it is for most samsung devices) is to boot up the phone holding power+home+volume up. It will boot to recovery. Hit "Wipe data/factory reset" and reboot system now.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Acorrales:
Hi everybody. For some reason, I got an unknown country code after trying to update to Android N and failing in root (I did something wrong and endeded in a bootloop) My TWRP of the stock N does not work and stuck in lenovo logo. I returned to my last working TWRP and everything worked ok except that I couldn't update because an error caused by not having a country code. I tried a lot of things but in the end, I restore the tablet to stock. I did the first update OTA just to check, and it worked. I did the second via ADB, but it resulted in something like /country reported in the tablet (something like, easyimage code = ), and I lost the country code again. Trying to change with ####6020# results in an error about cannot find OTA patch on sd card. I read that copying easyimage.zip to the sd card worked on other tablets to change the country code, but not for me, I always get the error. Does anybody known how to restore the ability to change the country code, without going again to stock and start over?

Is there a possibility that HUAWEI can upgrade my p9 lite from 2gb to 3gb if my warranty is not void?

Some companies already do this to their phones...

The L31 and L21 motherboards are T H E S A M E.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] ahrion:
Unfortunately most phones do not have the ability to upgrade hardware, especially ram or storage (without sd cards). If the manufacturer has different ram variants, I suppose it would be up to the manufacturer or you'd have to purchase that other variant yourself.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] propylzed:
Hi all, I just had a Nubia Z17 mini come from China. I have nothing to reproach him if it is not to this famous B20 of the 800Mhz necessary to capture the 4g. I made a little bit of work and I'm at the point where I need a little helping hand. I do not even know if I'm in the right ... That's where I am for the moment: I root the nubia and i installed Network Signal Guru and chipped a bit. In the settings I managed to add to the band B20 in the LTE section that I find the sequel in the list of frequencies that can be disabled (lock band). My concern is that my GSM does not hook this ******* B20 even by locking all the others. Do I get it right or not? Anyone more smart than me like to help me? Thank you in advance ans sorry for m'y pour english.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] alfonsanz:
Hello,

I got b20 in my Nubia z17 mini bought in china after signal guru etc.

The question is that the modem support that band but this model hasn't the antenna for that band, so you can activate it but you don't get coverage.

[ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers] lapist:
Are you sure that we don't have any antenna for B20?

The phone supports 850 and 900 MHz bands, which is not that far from 800 MHz...it could catch at least weak 800 MHz signal, right?

Hi,

There are a chance to unlock the B28 band (700Mhz), Guys?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] lifehome:
Hello there,

I am looking for a way to install Magisk on S7 Active, since the current method provided by [MENTION=4506008]miniminus[/MENTION] triggers the secure boot and was being identified as "Custom" firmware, yet seemingly not triggering the knox bit.

Hopefully someone could shed lights on installing Magisk, as the current patched boot image cannot pass the download mode, showing "unsupport dev_type"; nor the direct patching method passes the secure boot...

Cheers,

Ivan
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] miniminus:
as far as im aware, 'custom' firmware on the boot splash, is triggered by a number of things like DM-verity error, or boot.img alterations, so having magisk confirgured may also trigger it ..

and the reason that knox hasnt been triggered, as the boot.img (current root method) used is because its a officially signed boot.img, designed for engineers....

so if you want the recovery mode (you called it download mode, which is definitely supported) when it hangs on a error, you have to wait for a few minutes for it to timeout and continue ...

Hi Miniminus,

I have the s7 active as well, but i cant find the post where you show how to install magisk. is there a way to install magisk manager so we can have systemless root? or is not possible due to our bootloader being locked?

there never was a post about getting Magisk working...

but there IS a way to get it going, looking at the standard s7 setups that have it working, so is possible ..

exclusive reveal here ... but i HAVE now brought a partially broken s7 active, via the donnations i recieved from my mod rom etc ...

so i can use as donor to continue development of them, magisk, and other mods etc .... as just couldnt get anywhere when i was using it as a daily..

and as it now getting uber laggy recently so i need to start updating ! .. .

but that made it cheap enough, so i didnt have to put all that much to it, and should work as a good tester platform :)

what are the main things you wanting to get out of magisk ? just a better/stabile/faster rooting method for apps ??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] king2289:
Well, The thing is, i use android pay, and use pokemon go so normal rooting doesnt work for me as I cant run those on a rooted phone, it would have o be systemless like magisk. theres a lot of bloat ware and a few apps id like to move to the system to try playing while spoofing location when is too cold to be outside (LOL) but being that s7 active's bootloader isnt even unlocked, theres no custom recovery for it. in other words is like having an iphone.:crying:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
Dumping a ROM isnt the problem. Getting the slightly branded/altered O2 ROM (in perspective to the original HTC factory Polaris ROM) back onto the device without an original O2 Updater is going to be the problem, right?

Since the HTC 1.25.405.1 Updater doesnt equal an (whenever it arrives) O2 Updater, right?

So compiling a backup ROM consisting of the currently available HTC WWE Updater and my Orbit 2 ROM backup is going to result in a device which could be identified as a Touch Cruise with O2 ROM extentions and not an original Orbit 2 with an O2 ROM, right?
