[General Questions and Answers] RealPsygnosis:
Hi guys,

I'd like to find a free and clean (no bloatware no invasive ads) app to use wifi direct with other phones or pc.

I'm using airdroid now with my pc, but I don't understand if it use wifi direct or not, and the fact that I have to login and register is not a good thing when you have to send files to another friend's phone on-the-go (and believe me, I have to teach every single person I know that you cound't send hi res pics with whatsapp -.-).

So I write a list of app that I know (or I think I know) use wifi direct:

dukto (seems pretty popular but the last update is on 2014)

feem

threbleshot

airdroid (seems good but too feature rich if you have just to easy send a file)

mixplorer (here on xda)

Fast File Transfer

these seems the option that are less bloat and no chinese (with weird ads or man-in-the-middle things)

So: what app do you use for easy sending files through wifi direct with other phones and maybe pc?

EDIT: someone on the net advice app for file explorer like solid or es with ftp plugin but I don't think are "easy" for most people.
[General Questions and Answers] ManSamVampire:
SuperBeam is also a good alternative

Maybe you can also include SuperBeam in the list.

It has no bloatware and has multi platform support (including an installable and a portable version for PCs as well). In its settings, you there is a setting to transfer either by hotspot or by WiFi direct.

The free version has some (not-annoying) ads to support the developer and few limitations on transferring files.

Hello, I didn't finds Huawei P9 EVA-L09C652B118 updated to Android 7 plz help me
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jan Philipp:
Well, your current firmware

C652

is a demo-firmware for the european region (here are the regions). Thats pretty strange, because demo-smartphones are not supposed to be sold to normal customers. Is your phone refurbished? You should write to Huaweis customer service and ask for a proper firmware. Good Luck!

LLAP!

In Mi A1, I am not seeing any option to save newly created contact in phone or SIM, the only option is to save in google account. Also tried in google dedicated contact app from play store, but the option to save contact in phone or SIM is missing there as well in Google contact app. Anyone know any app or workaround to save contact in phone or SIM?

Hi. Picked up this phone a week ago. I love it. I put a sd card in from another phone. I got it in and it sees it but I cannot read it or format it. Does it have to be a certain sd card to work?

Ok so I have an idea, have you been on an airport or over a metal detector? If yes, it means that your SD card or phone got demagnetized (happened also to me with old phone), so buy a Sony SD card that resist to them :good:

My TC won´t connect to the T mobile HSDPA NL network. It currently is showing 3G with full signal strength. I also have HSDPA coverage in my area.

I talked to Tmobile customer service and they say its probably a setting in th e phone. I have HSDPA enabled in the phone. I have had my sim card replaced since my old one was about 8 years old.

Any ideas?

Is there anyone on the Tmobile network that has HSDPA running on the TC?

Thanks.

Martin
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
I had the same problem... but the Polaris told me only GPRS network was available... After a Hard Reset the problem went away...

If you've been messing whith aGPS, that could be the source of your problem as, that's the only regedit I didn't do after the Hard Reset...
[Touch Cruise General] Jazzamataz:
Hi,

For the poster of this thread. Check this link. It's in dutch, maybe things get clearer.
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
I already did a hard reset and I haven´t been messing around with the GPS registry settings.

This is really annoying me.
[Touch Cruise General] raskell:
Maverick,

If your Polaris is showing 3G next to the connection that it is sensing the HSDPA. The only time the 3G changes to an H is during packet download. It will switch back and show 3G as a 'ready' state for high speed, 'E' for Edge Ready and 'G' for GPRS ready. The 'E' and 'G' show the same as connected. The '3G' is the only one that changes to 'H' during an active HSDPA transaction.
[Touch Cruise General] Perjan:
Exactly the same problem over here.

Pit in combination with my tmobile contract. but no hsdpa
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
Raskell,

I talked to TMobile customer support about this and they said I should be able to join the HSDPA network the believe the phone is stuck in UMTS mode(3G) they said it's probably a phone setting since I comply to all the requirements for HSDPA. However they couldn't tell me what setting could possibly be wrong.

How do I get it to packet download? should I try to download a large file 50 MB or something like that?
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
use DSL Speed Test:D
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
Already did that, stays solid on 3G :mad:
[Touch Cruise General] Jazzamataz:
You should download a large file when te 3G sign is there. It should become an H when the dowload runs.

With PIT and PIT + it makes no sence to have HSDPA because you never can reach the speed you want.

Only with IT and IT+ it makes sence because then you can reach max speed.
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
hi Jazzamataz, I´m now downloading a 50 MB file or does it needs larger like 700 MB? However I get a nice 45 KB/s download but no H remains on 3 G.
[Touch Cruise General] Jazzamataz:
No 50MB is enough, as soon as data is downloaded it should jump in H mode.

Did you set the mode on auto in the setting of your phone?
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
The band settings are on auto, I already tried setting them to different bands manually, no effect though. Perhaps the fault lies in TMobiles own network(settings).
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
As i said on another forum. I have the normal PIT, but when i am on HSDPA i download with around 600kbit/sec. And this is everyday, not just a moment..i really dont understand, but to be honest, i dont care.
[Touch Cruise General] Jazzamataz:
Nice answer...this will help alot :confused:
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
Where are you located in NL, did you change any settings on your phone that could be related to HSDPA?
[Touch Cruise General] raskell:
Maverick,

TMobile here in the states does not even support HSDPA. With AT&T(Cingular) they us the 850 MHz band for HSDPA and 1900 for Edge/GPRS. TMo is 1900 only. In Europe, UMTS is 2100 MHz which is not used in the USA.

I know of no phone settings to address this. I agree with the comments to use a bandwidth test site to check your 3G speeds. It may be that you are getting HSDPA. I use http://utilities.globequest.com.ph/ and run the bandwidth meter test several times to ge an average. Mine is typically in the 600-800Kbps range. If I turn off HSDPA, I generally see it drop to 150-200 Kbps. Hope this helps.
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
My answer is helping more people then this answer from you ;)
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
Nope, i live in Nijmegen...and i didnt change a thing.
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
I'll contact TMobile thru mail. Perhaps I get to speak someone at TMobile who's proficient.

Yzord if you didn't change anything in the settings it must be a issue with the TMobile network itself. I live in Almere and according to TMobile there should be HSDPA coverage here.
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
Got a reply from Tmobile. They claim HSDPA is only availble for the higher data subscriptions like Internet Totaal and Internet Totaal +. For PIT and PIT+ only 3G(UMTS) is available.
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
Thats crap, cause i have normal PIT and i am downloading with HSDPA. Around 400kbps/sec.
[Touch Cruise General] maverick44cd:
I think Tmobile screwed something up in your advantage! Normal PIT users shouldn´t be able to obtain 400 Kb/s speeds. Enjoy it!
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
I know, normal it is 128kbit down and 32kbit up. But since i have it i download on high speed, sometime around 900kbit/sec with dslreports.com.

I wont tell them :)
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
It's in Bepe's Special Edition v0.54 ROM Setting. Check his signature. :D
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
No i had it also with my E61 and laptop
[Touch Cruise General] frigide:
I have the same problem and did a few tests. I did a speed test, with HSDPA the speed is 318kbs. I turd down the HSDPA and soft-reset my device and did the speedtest, speed between 110kbs and 150kbs.

So the speed is faster with HSDPA. Will anyone back-up this tests. Try a few times the speed test with and withpout HSDPA turnd on. don't forget to soft-reset your device.
[Touch Cruise General] itolson:
I have a very simular issue with o2, it was working fine with a H simbol at work, I did a hard reset and home came back to work and now all i get is the G symbol, its set to gprs / 3g etc the o2 coverage says i should get hsdpa at home and work.

the guy at o2 says sometimes it will work and others not. a great help.

I have an orbit 2 any ideas ?

DON'T IGNORE GUYS..LETS TRY ATLEAST ONCE..MAY BE WE CAN CONVINCE THEM..Please leave any ideas!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Just bootloader unlock won't help for the carrier branded models. Here's why... the T-mobile LG G6 already has bootloader unlock, but LG removed all the other ADB flash commands. So, bootloader unlock is useless on the T-mobile LG G6. Six months later, still no root, no TWRP custom recovery. It's like having the keys to a new car but the car has been melted down to block of metal. The keys are useless.

"BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" T-MOBILE LG G6

Some more information on the T-mobile LG G6 from an expert:

Even if you could unlock the bootloader to the other carrier-branded models, LG has probably removed the ADB flash commands from those phones as well? Only the official carrier unlocked versions are eligible for REAL bootloader unlock, the way you are thinking about.

Look down in the development section here for the official carrier unlocked LG G6 (which is eligible for REAL bootloader unlock with ADB flash commands present).

TWO pages of ROMs, kernels, custom recovery.

Yet, over on the "bootloader unlocked" T-mobile LG G6 forum, there's

23 pages of root begging thread

, which has now been abandoned as a lost cause.

Not only would you have to get bootloader unlock from LG, they would have to add back the ADB flash commands -- or a dev find some exploit to get TWRP custom recovery installed. And that's not been possible yet on the T-mobile LG G6, even though it's bootloader unlocked!

If you are interested in dev stuff for your phone, sell your LG G6, and get one of the official carrier unlocked models -- either the LG G6 or even the new LG V30.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhanmohan:
so u mean no matter what we do there's no hope!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
For the carrier-branded models, yeah probably no hope.

My point is LG will say if you are interested in REAL bootloader unlock, they already provide that for the official carrier unlocked models.

Removing the ADB flash commands on the carrier-branded models was very devious "security" method so that cracking the bootloader on carrier models with an exploit (like Dirty Santa) still wouldn't do any good.

With the T-mobile LG G6, devs have has six months to try to find some method of installing TWRP on that unlocked bootloader and not been successful. They may do it some day, but when? Meanwhile the carrier unlocked models have bootloader unlock AND ADB flash commands. If you were a dev, do you go through the already open door or try to break through the brick wall?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhanmohan:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Why? They said that they don't make the policy of what to unlock.

LG provides two phones that are unlocked and you can develop on.

Most carriers do not want you to have a rooted phone.

Samsung has KNOX which is even worse. If you try to root the phone you can trip KNOX and brick the device.

Samsung does not unlock devices unless you buy a, wait for it, developer version.

HTC is fairly easy if you find someone to S-OFF the device. But that's not HTC.

Mototola will not unlock the bl on branded phones. On other phones it's hit or miss.

LG with their carrier unbranded phones and Google seem to be the most supportive.

If you buy a Pixel from Verizon, the BL is locked and you can't unlock it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dhanmohan:
well my country (india) dont have the models which support bl unlock..and its expensive to import from other country and LTE bands wont support.. i dont care about warranty..so knox wont be a problem for me..and pretty much all the flashship Samsung models dont have any bl lock so im good to go.. i own a Samsung Note5 which i use as backup and i rooted it after a week i got it
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Glad you found a solutions.

IT varies from country to country and sometimes I forget that.

Here in North America (US and Canadian carriers) getting a Samsung unlocked phone just isn't normally possible.

You can't get a version that supports North American LTE with a boot loader you can unlock.

LG and HTC along with Google phones that are unbranded usually can be unlocked here.

Can we start a petition to at least unlock the boot loader for Non carrier branded G6 versions ?

I am losing more and more confidence in LG on supporting our device after their concentration on V series and branding change for G series.

We definitely need software support to our phone to justify all the initial hypes and the money we spent.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Indiant:
Please clear my mind, if someone is officially unlock the bootloader for LG G6 (H870 or US997), then the phone will just lost the warranty. So LG will deny the device.

Than why the other types has not got the possibility to unlock.

If they do so, then we (customers) will have just one way - not to buy phones from them in the future.

Same here. I don't do much dev work or CFW now, but I hate that it's not even possible with this variant. I owned a Google Nexus 6P that started having battery drain issues at just over a year. Nexus Protect will send you another phone for $75, but since they refuse to acknowledge that the battery issue exists, if it starts having issues, they expected me to pay $75 to get another defective one. No thanks.

This phone can't be unlocked, but I suppose I'm just thankful that it doesn't drop to 20% battery in 2 hours and then shut off 10 mins later!
