What's a good app to test download speeds?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
I live in upstate NY. Literally in a gorge.i get the same or better service than my HTC 10 and the WiFi is way better. Don't need WiFi calling anymore.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetruzz:
I'm also in upstate NY. I get extremely fast speeds on wifi but lte seems pretty slow. What network settings are you all using??
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Global, enhanced lte, nothing special
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetruzz:
I'm not seeing that setting. Can you take a screenshot??
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Just took this. Remember, there isn't any carrier aggregation. That can make it worse.

Ref: Verizon

I'm getting LTE+ carrier aggregation in the Hickory, NC area. I've seen download speeds as high as 28 Mbps, although I've only been on Verizon 2 days now and I've only ran a few speed tests.

I recently ported my number to Verizon from T-Mobile because I was one of those who was experiencing connectivity issues with T-Mo. For me this phone works much better on Verizon than T-Mo. The phone I have now is a replacement. The first one constantly dropped cellular connections and with it I never saw LTE+ on T-Mo not even once. With the new replacement phone it showed up at times closer to Hickory but Verizon seems to have it everywhere around here.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
That's funny actually, right after I took that, I went to lte discovery app, and saw that I was on band 4 & 13 . It's not " supposed " to work...lol
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gqukyo:
I'm using Xfinity which is Verizon and works fine on the SF Bay Area but since I'm using Xfinity and not Verizon proper, I don't see the option for enhanced LTE...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nrage23:
I got this on Verizon on the way into work this morning.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bill3508:
That's good. We don't have those kind of speeds around here. 28-34 is normal for Verizon lte here.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetruzz:
My download speeds are only averaging 7 mbps on lte on Verizon in NY.

Which bands are you all using?? I left mine on the default and not sure if that'd make a difference.

I tried a few others with not much difference
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
This is my 3rd replacement. The first one didn't activate, the second overheated and now the 3rd seems to be working well. What I noticed on the 3rd one after reading the forums is the ceramic I'd alittle grippier than the last one which was smooth like glass. The 2nd one was smooth like glass. Before I did the replacement I also weighed it by hand because I read somewhere the new replacements have alittle more weight to it and it did. It was noticeable.

As far as signal. It seems to be on par with my m9. I was surprised I got 117mbps in my town which is in Shentel territory for Sprint but so far everything works great

Hit and Miss

Mine has been iffy since I "officially" added it to my Verizon account (I initially just pulled the SIM from my Pixel, and plopped it in my Essential - Worked like a champ, then I replaced my Pixel with my Essential with customer service, over the phone, and after reboot, it has been hit or miss (it was 3G from the time I hung up with Verizon, until I finished driving from Vegas to SLC). I messed with the carrier settings, and it was LTE+ for a day, then back to no signal the next morning.

Some days 3G is the best I can get, others LTE+ works fine, and some days, 1X or no signal. I've tried changing the settings from Global, to LTE, to LTE/WCDMA to what ever else looked okay). Today, it's been LTE+ most of the day.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] defTwitch:
I've had mine about 2 weeks. Am on NMJ20D.

I was just on a little road trip last weekend for 3 days and found that my phone just never picks up a new signal. I have to reboot everytime.

IE: I seemingly have NO service or maybe x1. I reboot... Boom LTE... yay. As long as I stay where I am I'm fine. If we get in car and start driving as soon as I leave that general area its like the phone doesn't find a new tower or something. Air Plane toggling, Toggling Data, etc. does not help.

IF, however, I reboot phone... presto... LTE is back until I move away from it again.

I'm back home now and same thing. On wifi at home. All good. When I leave my house no LTE. I have to reboot as soon as out of Wifi range if I want it back.

Works great after a reboot but pia to have to keep doing it. I have NOT tried factory reset.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lightfire:
After testing for a week, my essential ph signal is consistently 2-4 db lower than Pixel 2 XL AND Nexus 6 on BOTH AT&T and Verizon. I was going to return it but it has a freakin $35 "re-stocking fee". Douchbags sell a low quality phone then make $35 per phone if someone isn't happy with their quality. I don't recommend this phone to anyone - stay away.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] slrw:
I use Internet Speed Meter Lite (DynamicApps). It's been spot on when compared to VZ or Google tests.

Using LTE Discovery loaded onto a Pixel XL (1st Gen) (running Total Wireless, a Verizon MVNO) and an Essential phone (running Verizon), I notice no drop-off in signal when the two are connected to the same LTE band.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mtshure:
I'm considering U11 as my next phone. I checked some reviews but it is not very clear. I do not like edge screens or curved screens, is the front screen of this phone completely flat?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] KOAO:
The phone isn't flat like the Essential Phone if that's what you're asking. It's similar to the iPhone in that it curves. Most phones nowadays are curved like that.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mtshure:
Thank you for the reply. So U11 has curved screens too... hmm. You may call me picky, but the reason I do not like curved screens is that sometimes curved edges reflect lights, and it is a little annoying. Also it is hard to have a protective film on it. Well..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] pec0ra:
Just as a clarification: the screen itself isn't curved but the front glass is. This will still be an issue for screen protectors though
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DJ Mohammad KHAN:
curved screen in u11 is a best curved LCD that making ever for a phone....u11 is very good in hand becouse back panle is curved too.....so if you dont like this you can buy huawei middle range device or smasung Galaxy J Series 2015
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mtshure:
That's what I'm wofried about. It is hard to have a screen protector on when the edges are curved. I'm still considering this phone but I will have to take this into account.

I am currently using a mid range phone that has a flat front but I am thinking about upgrading to a flagship, due to the fact that all mid range devices have poor camera performance, including mine.

I want to get a phone that has

1) top tier camera performance (especially low light)

2) non-curved front

3) FRONT fingerprint scanner + physical buttons

4) MicroSD

5) min. 64gb storage.

Sadly, there seems to be no such a phone as of now. :rolleyes:

Samsung doesn't satisfy 2&3, LG = 3, Sony = 3, Pixel 2 = 3&4, etc. I must give up at least one thing. I will never give up 1/3/4/5, so u11 is still on my list.

With these factors in mind I am also cosndering Asus Zenfone 4 Pro, but there are not many reviews yet, so camera performance unknown. I'm still more interested in U11 but I might go for Asus if it takes good enough photos comparable to Galaxy/U11/Pixel.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] DJ Mohammad KHAN:
buy Xiaomi Mi Note 3
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mtshure:
I thought Xiaomi camera performance is okay but not comparable to other flagships yet. Is it different this time?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] AarSyl:
I have an IQ Shield plastic screen protector on mine with no issues. They offer free lifetime replacements as well. I have no issues with the sides of the phone. My only issue is the top corners which began to lift, but that's because I put my case back on too early (I have children...leaving my phone without a case for the solution to dry is not an option).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mtshure:
Thank you for the comment, your comments are very assuring!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] kolembo:
Mate 10.

But though the glass on the U11 is curved, the screen itself is flat

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
A little while ago I made this mod that lets you set a custom value to apply to all volume sliders. I found it pretty handy, but it got a little annoying how every slider was affected, and a lot would move extremely slowly because of their tiny scaling.

Well I'm back, this time with a slightly different mod. This one only affects the HiFi volume step count, but it does it in a standard way. You might know about the build.prop key AOSP uses (ro.config.media_vol_steps) to customize the number of volume steps allowed. For whatever reason, LG disabled this behavior for the media volume (laziness? who knows...), including HiFi. I figured out how to simultaneously make the HiFi steps be 1 and have LG actually listen to that build.prop value.

Right now, I have `ro.config.media_vol_steps=100` in my build.prop and can confirm the slider does actually have 100 steps now.

I'm attaching two JARs. The US version should work with most variants, while the 990DS version is for the H990 variants, assuming the US version doesn't work.

Do It Manually:

- As before, I'm not going to give instructions on decompiling JARs and ODEXes. You'll have to do that yourself.

- If you applied my previous mod, RESTORE YOUR BACKUP before proceeding!

- Decompile your services.jar and open the following file in a text editor (I use Sublime because it has a Smali highlighting plugin):

- com/android/server/audio/AudioService.smali

- Find the following block of code (it may not be exactly the same, so just search for the string you see at the top):

const-string/jumbo v2, "ro.config.media_vol_steps"

.line 743
sget-object v3, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->MAX_STREAM_VOLUME:[I

const/4 v4, 0x3

aget v3, v3, v4

.line 742
invoke-static {v2, v3}, Landroid/os/SystemProperties;->getInt(Ljava/lang/String;I)I

move-result v13

.line 744
sget-object v2, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->MAX_STREAM_VOLUME:[I

const/4 v3, 0x3

aget v2, v2, v3

if-eq v13, v2, :cond_1

.line 745
sget-object v2, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->MAX_STREAM_VOLUME:[I

const/4 v3, 0x3

aput v13, v2, v3

.line 746
sget-object v2, Landroid/media/AudioSystem;->DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME:[I

mul-int/lit8 v3, v13, 0x3

div-int/lit8 v3, v3, 0x4

const/4 v4, 0x3

aput v3, v2, v4

.line 750
:cond_1

- At the bottom, right above .line ***, add this:

sget-object v3, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->MAX_STREAM_VOLUME:[I

const/4 v4, 0x3

aget v3, v3, v4

sput v3, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->MAX_MUSIC_STREAM_VOLUME:I

- About 24 lines or so down, look for this block:

if-eqz v2, :cond_2

.line 751
const/4 v2, 0x1

sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->mHifiDacSupported:Z

.line 752
const/4 v2, 0x5

sput v2, Lcom/android/server/audio/AudioService;->HIFI_MEDIA_VOLUME_OFFSET:I

.line 754
:cond_2

- At the bottom, you'll notice a const/4 v2 variable, with a value of 0x5. Change the value to 0x1.

- Recompile, copy in, set permissions, and it should be good to go.

[MENTION=7055541]Zacharee1[/MENTION] working great, thanks! I do notice that now when the volume is raised to 11 that I get the warning about hearing damage... is it possible to change that to maybe 15 or 16?

also is it possible to also do this for Bluetooth? seems like it's either too loud or too low when I use with earbuds
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
[MENTION=7055541]Zacharee1[/MENTION]

Working good on my H990DS

I think H990DS uses a different approach..

When i replaced the service jar file.. I could see only 15 steps for Hifi Volume.

The behaviour is same for HIFI or without HIFI

When build.prop value is changed to 100

it now has 100 steps. with or without HIFI with 1 increment

Warning for high volume is triggers on 10
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
Screenshot added

Can some one confirm the stock value. For other sliders. I am just confused..

All other sliders have 15 steps right..?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Squadala:
I don't see ro.congig.media_vol_steps in build.prop
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
You have to add this line

Is your system modified..?

DS service jar is based on 10g.

Can you confirm the stock volume steps for ringtone/notification is it 15.?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
The HiFi slider is normally up to 75 with 5 increment steps. With this mod, the steps are 1 increment, so the default max becomes 15. If I force it to 75, ARISE breaks, and it might even be broken still. If it's broken anyway, I'll set the default to 75.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
Its not a big deal though.

After changing in build.prop..

The slider has 100 value with 1 increment and thats perfectly fine..

But the problem here is that it changes the media slider (without HIFI) to 100 as well..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
That's intended.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
May be I got confused because of this line..

BTW in your previous MOD the increment value without earphones was 5,

I think 1 incremental value for HIFI is perfect, but without earphones it should be 5.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I don't think I can do that.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ahmedyar91:
Its not an issue :)
