Live Messenger doesn't work over WiFi except GPRS/EDGE !

Hi,

I have similar problem ! Live Messenger doesn't work over WiFi, instead it always choose GPRS/EDGE connection. I'm not sure whether this is a known problem in WM6.0/6.1 but I hope someone can show a workaround (at least) on this. :)

Regards,

Daneal

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CsPPP:
Hello, I'm a bit new to all this, so please bear with me if I sound a bit out of the know. I currently have a SM-G935V, from Verizon of course, but I recently switched to AT&T as they have better service for me, however, the best connection I seem to get at the moment is H+ (it switches from 3G to H and H+ but I know for a fact that there is 4G LTE in my area). Not sure exactly what to do in order to get consistent 4G LTE. I have called to troubleshoot with technical support; we set up a few APN's, but to no avail. Would flashing the SM-G935U firmware help me at all, or am I doomed from the start since I have the Verizon variant (they claim that all of their LTE phones are unlocked)? Also, I heard that for the US version of the phone they will not let you flash anything on them. Is that true? Thanks for any help or advice in advance, I greatly appreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] DildoMaster:
I'm not 100% sure AT&T is included but you can try following the instructions and flashing Jrkruse's U Firmware ROM here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3603231
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] CsPPP:
Thanks! Just an update for anyone who reads this thread having the same problem. Flashing the U firmware did in fact do the trick, but sadly I am not getting HD calling. Data works on LTE just fine though.

Hi there!

I just bought four days ago a Note 8 (my 6 month old Pixel XL simply bricked itself) and i found it a pretty nice device.

But one strange thing is happening, maybe you guys can help me pinpoint where the problem is: when I put my device inside my jacket pocket, it goes really hot and battery goes down the drain.

If I remove it from my pocket, it cools down and battery drain comes back to acceptable levels.

My initial conclusion is that something using the proximity sensor is draining the battery... any ideas?

Do you guys recommend any tools that would help detect where the problem is? I don't want to root the device.

I use kin screen to keep the screen on while I am using the phone. I thought it might be the culprit at first, but uninstalling it didn't solve the problem.

I used package disabler pro to disable some bloatware like onedrive, carrier apps and such, no success. Enabled all apps again, same problem.

Any help would be appreciated... thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
Not sure what could be draining your battery in your pocket but you may want to try this setting: Settings>Display>Block accidental touches (prevent the screen from detecting touch input while your phone is in a dark place such as a pocket or bag)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
See if it happens when the phone is in Safe Mode (ask Bixby)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] StealthNet:
djlee0314 enabled it...

After searching on google for a while, I found some threads that relates this battery drain with camera settings related to sensors and movement...

And voi la, it seemed to work for the most part.

Removed the phone from the charger at 7am and battery was draining as supposed until 1pm when the phone started getting hot again.

Removed from my pocket because I needed it online... placed it in the pocket in the evening and... cold.

I am starting to think that I might have a faulty unit... I am trying to avoid restoring it to factory defaults... will keep monitoring.

Thanks!

Yes, you can activate dual sound output and use two different Bluetooth speakers at the same time, but unfortunately there is a slight delay between them which create a weird effect. It is true that I have tried this with two different type of speakers (a Philips AS 141 and a Samsung Level Box slim), maybe with two identical Bluetooth devices it would work better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SquidgyB:
There is a mod (and a thread for the mod) which will allow the use of both speakers as stereo - however you can't increase the volume much (if at all) over the default because the earpiece speaker is not designed to be used that loudly - you will get distortion and crackles, and potentially damage the speaker.

You can ask in the relevant thread if the dev can sort out a louder version for you, but personally I'd stick to the prescribed limits, as it will affect sound quality quite (very, depending on how much of an audiophile you are) badly.

You'll have to be rooted for the mod to work as well, so bear that in mind.

Yeah you'd think that there would be a common one, there could be but I still am pretty sure its Fat32 only for now.

Ah, recording those files raw then dumping to the card? You could go for some h.264 / divx / whatever encoding to drop the file size a good ammount?
[HTC Wings] stopfen:
The specification limit for AVI itself is roundabout 2GB.

It does not depend on the filesystem where its stored on. The maximum filesize in FAT32 is 4GB.

Anyway, programs like virtualdub can read those oversized AVI files often and you can shrink or cut them.

Flashed vendor image while updating PureNexus but forgot to do it for both slots. Rebooted into system but it kept throwing "System has crashed" dialogs.

Rebooted into recovery to find TWRP gone. Went into Stock Recovery and did a Full Wipe in an attempt to fix things (I was traveling without a laptop and didn't have many options.

I can now get back into the OS, but receive a vendor mismatch error and have lost functionalities like wireless data.

I'm back with my computer but it's no longer seeing the phone (or vice versa) when I plug in. As such I can't sideload.

I also can't load through Stock Recovery because I had encrypted my phone and it can't install off SD.

At this point I just wanna go back to square one but with neither the ability to sideload nor recovery-load, I'm not sure what I can do to try to fix things.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
He no longer has TWRP. His device reverted back to stock recovery. He also can't flash a custom recovery due to his computer not recognizing the device.

I've never experienced this issue on any of my devices. These dual slots really make tinkering much more risky from all the crazy issues I've been reading on XDA.

Can you get into fastboot? If you use the "fastboot devices" command in the cmd menu where your fastboot file is located, does it show your device's serial number (I assume probably not, but it should be attempted)?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
That is where I was going, and flash the factory image. The computer not seeing the phone is a computer or cable issue he should be able to overcome.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
Or maybe a driver issue? If you can't get the device to be recognized via fastboot, I would try driver troubleshooting.
