[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] d.cortez:
thanks for sharing the info... ordered a cable and anxious to try this with Tidal "HiFi" offline music via my car's head unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] alfadog77:
just ordered myself one. Unfortunately the blue tooth in my car has a 3 second delay even with my old V20 and now the Note 8. my car is on the compatibility list so fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] d.cortez:
Received my cable a few days ago and it works well with Google Play and USB Audio Player Pro. Unfortunately for me, when using the cable with the Tidal app, playlists/albums only play one song at a time. In other words I have to manually advance to the next song when listening to an album or play list.

Another nit is that music sometimes continues to play via the phone when a call comes in when phone is connected to Bluetooth in my car.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] danageis:
I realize this question has been asked before, but since the phone has been out for a while since the last thread I found I figured people who've been using it for a long time might have some more insight.

Do you think 2gb is worth it compared to 4gb? I don't game on my phone, but I do multitasking rather heavily (social media, a couple chrome tabs, sms, music, etc. Open at a time).

To complicate it a little further, I had the 4GB variant of this phone before, but broke it :'( and I am looking for a replacement. Typical price for 2GB/4GB is still $229/$300 respectively, but lately some great deals have popped up for the 2GB version. A local store by my is selling 2GB version for $190 right now. I haven't found any decent deals on the 4GB version, but I figure with deals this month there will be some at lower price.

Tl;Dr: should I buy the 2GB version for $190, spend the $300 for 4GB, or wait for better deal on 4GB version?

Appreciate any opinions or insight, especially from people who have been using the 2GB Moto G5+
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
Just get the 4GB... Better resale value if anything, if you're going to keep it for years, then even more of a reason to not be cheap about it. Besides, I've been seeing it for $250 recently. I bought mine at BB 6 months ago for $240ish.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] danageis:
Hmm, alright I'll probably just keep an eye out for sales. I haven't seen any like that tho, everywhere right now seems to have 2gb cheap but 4gb still at 300. Thanks for the input.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
I would agree with previous response, 4GB or skip it for someone other than the casual user, which you don't seem to be... You will get lots of app closures/re-opening while task swapping with 2GB ram, next to none with 4GB.

The 4GB version goes on sale from time to time at around $250, although at full retail I might look at something else.

Honestly, if price is such a factor... Look at the E4 Plus which regularly sells about $170, 5.5" screen, 2gb ram, 32gb storage, 5000mAh battery.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jasons1004:
I have the 2gb version. I love it. No issues with ram and such. I had the s7edge before this and it is almost the same if not better switching between apps/ battery life than that phone. Maybe just my rom/kernel. I would just get the cheaper one. Save your money, I'm done spending way too much on phones. I was looking at that E4 tho.....I want a 5000mah battery....
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
G5s is out and aside from camera it's basically identical, so $219 sounds very realistic. Unfortunately, it's why I'm probably switching to another brand. Motorola (lenovo) hasn't been good with real updates, and they keep saturating their own product lines every 6 months, which means it can only get worse...

The U11 can be bought for $400, as well as, Essential (although essential is iffy brand right now).
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] danageis:
Thanks for all the replies guys. I ended up going with the 4GB version after finding it for $225 US. I had looked at the E4+, and would definitely have considered it if it came with a little more powerful processor option.

For anyone looking for a good deal on the 4GB model, Newegg is selling it for $225US and that comes with a free Bluetooth speaker and free shipping option! Speaker is probably not great, but I thought that was a great deal after not finding a much of anything under $300 for the past couple weeks.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Narfed:
Does this phone really support dual SIM ? I just signed a 2 year tablet plan thinking I could swap the sim to my phone ?

You can see from the pic the 2nd nanosim won't fit. What do I do? Help me please!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Buddy thats not a dual sim thats a sd card slot:good:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
If you still have time I would see about cancelling the plan I know in U.S. we got 14 days on most.

Or I would find a cellular capable tablet quick
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Narfed:
LOL! It's a hybrid sd card/nano sim card slot I hope? I though that was a feature on the G5? Not so sure now for the H831 model :`(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
there is a dual sim model But thats surely a sd slot

I believe if u look real close itll say sim and sd
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Narfed:
I just got it today so yeah I have time! I really wanted the data plan deal I got so that's too bad. I guess my G5 wasn't dual sim after all...is it? Should I try and cut the nanosim card to fit or get a sim cradle from another model G5?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
It wont fit. The other slot is strictly sd card slot. Both sims u have will fit in the nano slot. I have never used a data only tablet sim in a phone though dont know how that works. The dual sim tray wont fit yours as the hardware is missing if you try to force one you can damage the sd slot pins and or the sim slot pins. I would find a tablet.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Narfed:
Ya, it does. Does that mean it doesn't have the hardware inside for dual sim or is it possible I just need a cradle from a G5 that does :victory:?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
See post above
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
This is the dual tray nothing alike
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Narfed:
Thanks! I got a tablet with it that I was going to use around the house on wifi...I can't think of any reason I would take it out of the house though. 1st world problems hahah. Thanks again for your help and so fast!

I can't find GMS on HiApp.

However, this works! Just install Playstore directly from HiApp and there you go. Unfortunately, some few apps can't be installed from Playstore. It says downloading but no progress whatsoever. Doesn't really matter though, only very minor apps. Thanks for the advice!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] xT29c:
I have the Chinese version as well ALP-AL 00

all I did was grab the Google play a PK file from X DA side loaded onto my phone and everything works beautifully.

Luckily the Google services that I use are very minimal. I use the play store Google games Google hangouts that's about it and for everything that I just listed works beautifully no problems.

No need to rebrand your phone or any of that nonsense to get Google play services working on your Chinese branded phone enjoy.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] mankindtw:
You don't need to install GMS on Mate 10, it's built in.

If you can't download app from Play Store, try give all permissions in Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> Permissions.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] otonieru:
You need to allow the built in download app to download file bigger than 50 using mobile data, else some app wont downloaded until you get connected to wifi

Also allow storage permission for play store

Huawei send an update OTA to AL 00 and now the PlayStore didn´t work anymore (before update all was fine, installed PlayStore from HiApp). Now it´s impossible to load any Google app from Huawei HiApp Store. manually installation didn´t work, too. Install runs, but connect to update or install new apps failed. Any idea?

My only one problem is with the Google Location Services or "Find My Phone" feature from Huawei Cloud. Can't get it to work, probably i'll need to flash rom :rolleyes:

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joancolmenares:
Hello all..

I have this issue with my Note Edge 915T (T-Mobile Variant). It is unlocked and I use it in Venezuela with Digitel (LTE BAND 3: 1800) and the phone DOES connect to LTE with no issues (I get the 4G/LTE icon), and I can browse with no problems, but no one can call me, nor can I make any calls or text. In other phones, when I call, data drops and I can call and when I finish, data comes back up. HEre, LTE stays up and my call does not get through. Then after some tries, it drops to EDGE and won't pick up LTE until I reboot or something.

If I try a different operator, it goes to HDSPA (3.5G) and I get voice and data (data drops while calling, but it ir normal), but I want to use my operator with LTE.

Im running MM and I deactivated VoLTE as my carrier does not support it, but is there something else I'm missing?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimatrix725:
This may sound stupid, but have you set your APNs? You can also try resetting your network. Dial ##72786#. Also Does your carrier require any certain apps. Example FreedomPop requires a specific app for getting/making calls, as they are mainly VOIP MVNO...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joancolmenares:
Hi! thank you but yes, the APNs are perfect, I can use Data, the issue is that I cant call as the data signal stays in 4G/LTE and with my carrier, when calling, it drops data signal and it calls, here I can't. Im starting to think it has to do with CSC being with TMO, and I should use another one either from my country or a general One (BTU) for example. Will try to flash a rom from a different carrier to see if it works.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimatrix725:
The only other option might be *#BAND# (2263),which could be dangerous, if you do not note original settings. Sometimes a complete ODIN can restore.

I normally use Nova Launcher - Widget- Activities- Somewhere under phone or settings. Shortcut Called PhoneInfo or DeviceInfo, which is much safer&consistently works! The app w/ same name no longer works. It took me forever & I always export my desktop, so I have that shortcut. The last option is an app called Samsung Phone Info+, but is paid or free if u know.... I really hate paid apps. It has under menu secret codes as well.

My brother gave me his 8525 after his girlfriend bought him a new phone. I then unlocked it using the unlocker that i found here so that I could use it on tmobile. I am on a prepaid plan and there is no way to get internet through tmobile with prepaid, but the WIFI should still work, but it doesnt. I can get it to connect to a network but when i open IE it wont go to any web adress i type in. Any ideas????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] XtreMe_G:
try changing your wifi power mode to best performance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vinimack720:
Tried that, and it didnt make any difference.

When I try to go to a site it says " Cannot Connect: Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings"

I have tried messing around with the settings, but i still cant get it to work right.

I think IE is still trying to connect to the internet via AT&T's network service instead of going through wifi.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pedro2k:
Under start>settings>system do you have a proxy folder? maybe it's under programs as well. Look for it. If you do, run disable proxy.

Also go to start>settings>connections>network cards>network adapters

make sure this is reads under "my network card connects to: the internet"

select your 802.11b/g and make it "use server assigned ip address"

Hopefully that helps :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vinimack720:
hey man thanks for the tips, but it still is not working.

I found my proxy folder and ran disable proxy, my card is set to connect to the internet and it uses the server assigned IP adress.

But now when i try to use the internet it does not give me the "can not connect due to your settings" message, it just keeps trying to load the page but nothing happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pedro2k:
go to start>settings>connections

click on connections

go to the advanced tab and click on select networks

on the first dropdown make it "my isp"

with the second select "my work network"

That should do it :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vinimack720:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] surgex0:
i posted in another thread about a similar issue that i have and it is still not solved

some programs that use data on my device will not connect using 3g (pocket outlook using gmail), but they will connect when the wifi is on

it's kind of the opposite of what's going on with yours, but i believe the root of the problem is the same, because we are getting the exact same error message

i believe the problem stems from how/why windows mobile 6 organizes connections; which makes no sense to me whatsoever

under connections i have:

"My ISP"

"MEdia Net"

"Work"

Of course there is nothing even under my isp, or work, yet it wont let me delete them

i tried deleting them manually from the registry and that messed a whole lot of things up, so plz do not make that mistake :p

my media net settings ARE correct, but why are there so many different connections here, that arent even being used, yet i cant remove them?

what the hell is "MY Isp" ? I thought Media net was my isp...lol

this is confusing and frustrating

Try disabling and data connections using this:

http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Software/246171/New-FREE-Utility/

This should make sure it is trying to go through wireless. Just a quick question, you are not connected to activsync while trying wifi are you?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] XtreMe_G:
ok, since you're using t-mobile, and only just want to use wifi, do this

go to start>settings>connections->connections->advanced

switch both to "my isp", click on edit (either one is fine), delete the modem number in there.

The last thing you need to do is disable the hidden proxy proxy. I dont know exactly how, cause i dont use the AT&T rom anymore, but its somewhere in the start menu, just poke around, there should be a "disable proxy' somewhere

@ surgex0

if you think that's confusing......on the tilt, they've added a 4th one.......AT&T ISP. But basically, whatever settings that was in My ISP, is now in AT&T ISP.

Did you just flash the zip over the stock firmware? Did you install that last update before hand?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
I was on the October security patch (AQJA). So my first step was to "go back" to August, AQGL (have to be on AQGL to use that linked method). I did this by downloading the file from Updato, then flashing it via Odin.

Then, to install the Oreo beta .zip you have to ADB sideload the file.

Note that this wipes/factory resets your device. And that's a good thing. One should always do a factory reset when there's a major change of versions. Avoids a lot of issues with conflicts.
