[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Are you sure this is the proper RUU for him? First of all, that RUU is super old. Probably too old for the OP to use unless he's S-Off (you can't go backwards with firmware while S-On)

Second of all, you don't even know which model he has. That RUU is for WWE/European. It won't work on US Unlocked/Sprint/Verizon/o2/T-mo etc...... but ONLY on a WWE branded device. You need matching MID and CID for the RUUs to work.

[MENTION=1313685]Markieboy[/MENTION] don't use that RUU. Boot to download mode and post here what it says next to "OS" and I or someone else can provide you with the appropriate one to use (although I'm not sure if it will work in this case).

Try this: If you can boot to download mode, you should be able to flash TWRP via fastboot (your bootloader is unlocked, correct?).

Then boot to TWRP > advanced > file manager then navigate to /data/system/ and delete the locksettings.db file. This will disable your lockscreen PIN/password.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Fred Rat:
It left all kinds of Sprint stuff in the EPST, not sure how to clean that up, or if I'm screwed.

Anyone know of a way to get it all restored back to Verizon acceptable?

I have the 2.4 SPD, Radio 3.27, and DCD 2.2.6 and expect for no phone service, love it.

I've called Verizon, they have not been helpful, I did check my a-key both before and after and it was blank both times.

Help?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bakntyme:
I don't know if it will work, but try going into the phone app and dialing ##786 Talk

This is supposed to completely reset the device, including the EPST settings, to factory clean. You will need to restore the MSID and MDN, so make sure you know what they are. I do not know if you will need to obtain an a-key from VZW. After that you will probably need to do the *228 setup.

If that does not work, maybe reflashing the radio and Verizon ROM will help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Fred Rat:
I've got it fixed

Thanks for the tip; while I was waiting for that I tried a number of things, one of which worked.

What I did was to reflash the stock verizon rom from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=359659&page=2

Using the complete version.

This put back the original radio and rom.

When I rebooted after that, it ran some cabs on first boot. One of them was called something like ResetRadio. Anyway after that I was able to call *228 and could do both options 1 and 2. Which I could not do successfully before.

I was still getting unauthenticated messages when I tried to call anyone, and could not take incoming calls.

I then called VZW and got a new A-Key, that fixed the phone so I could call in/out, but internet access was still broken.

They had me take my battery out, while they did something on their end; after that we redid the *228 and internet access is now working. We did a test text message and that worked as well.

I think the key in all of this, is to NOT flash the Sprint ROM into a Verizon phone, but if you do, you can reflash the Verizon version to put things back in order from the link I mentioned above.

I am using a DCD rom 2.2.6, and while I am a noob on some of this, I seem to recall him mentioning that he no longer includes the extended ROM; if that includes the part that resets the radio on a hard reset, I think it's actually required for people to keep their sanity.

Hope this helps, and for those that are worried that they will screw up their phones and have no way back from the far side of disaster, I can say that I've been there and made my way back.

Best of luck to you all.

DCD 2.2.6, GPS, and yes I can even make phone calls!

I have more than one watch. And when I don't use my Huawei watch 2 I have tested to set it into watch mode. When I want to use it again I turn it on again to normal mode. The watch starts app as it does when it has been powered off. Back again and running I have to restart my watch again before the notifications will work again. Must be some kind of a bug

And another sad thing is that after restart of the watch, it has forget that I have disabled tilt to wake screen. So now it is enabled again and I have to disabled again.

Has anyone tried to activate the phone without the Sim card in? Just trying to see if that worked to free the unlock switch on the Verizon version

Looks like the same trick won't work. Even my non-vzw pixel 2 had the option greyed out without a sim until I connected to wifi.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
I don't think you can do it without the Verizon's SIM card.

Your phone needs to communicate somehow with the carrier.

Activated Pixel 2 XL on Sprint a week ago and everything has been running well. on 10/30 I noticed some incoming MMS picture messages have been unable to download. Also noticed that I cannot send out MMS messages. I am using Signal (but have also tried the stock Messenger app and Textra).

Have done a couple of chat sessions and phone calls with Sprint tech support and after many reboots, factory reset and network updates I am still left scratching my head on what has gone wrong.

I did see the T-Mobile thread similar to this where people mention changing APN settings but I do not seem to be able to see any APN settings on the Pixel 2.

How does it seem to keep it in your hands?

Need for some ugly cover? The high frame rate is cool like it sound? :D I've so much hype for this phone. I'm not a big smartphone gamer but those stats are fantastic. Is like have the master race phone. :cool:
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Youssarian:
1. No and none yet. GSM only.

3. Welcome.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Masterfellow:
One member of staff had a thin, black case on it and honestly it felt very useless :laugh: I like the phone much better without any case, especially when there is no back glass to break.

It is super cool, smooth and responsive. I was going crazy when i saw it haha! It is seriously very cool. Although, most of the third party apps were locked to 60hz I could see that. Only the system apps and the dolby atmos app (I think) were in full 120hz.

No clue about that as some features on the demo phones were disabled. I think this is part or Oreo? So possibly with the Oreo update in Q1 2018. Again, not sure about that.

Nope, only GSM networks.

Haha, I know right.

Screen colours were really good, although still not on OLED levels (still great lcd panel though). Brightness is the only thing that disappointed me about the screen, when I set the Razer phone to full brightness, it was the same brightness as when you set the S8+ to 30-40% brightness :(

Speakers are just nuts. No phone has speakers like that. Even though I could not hear it properly because there was a lot of people, screaming and music around, I could feel how the whole phone was vibrating only from the speakers. It is absolutely nuts, very loud, highs were very noticeable in the dolby atmos demo app and the bass is very good for phone speakers as well. They killed it in this regard lol.

I'm not a fan of the square-ish designs but it I liked this one, it feels very premium indeed. I have medium sized hands, it felt kinda big.

I really do want to get one, but I'm not sure yet. Price is very competitive, but I'm just so used to all the Samsung services (Samsung Pay, Health, Cloud, etc.) + I have a Gear S3 so I would lose a ton of features lol.

Software was smooth, imagine playing with the Pixel 2 but the screen is 120Hz (it's absolutely crazy smooth, I can't even believe it). I tried to lag it as much as I could but I just couldn't, there was not a single lag/stutter.

It's a great phone for sure and I was really hyped when I had it in my hands, but I'm not sure how I feel about the screen brightness and lack of any water-resistance rating. The camera performance was also very average - low light was bad, focusing was alright, but nowhere near the S8 focusing speed and details/closeups came up really good.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Falscy:

How was the camera? I know they said they'd send some camera updates like 120Hz video capture, slow-motion capture, and portrait mode via OTA updates in the coming months as TechRadar stated.

However, I'd like to know about the camera quality performance?

I've seen some samples, but I'd like to know your first-hand experience.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Jonnyn93:
I've played with the phone for a bit a few days ago. Built like a tank and it was super responsive, the panel is really cool. I agree with OP brightness was a bit meh. Not sure how outdoor lighting would be.

I figure it has a serious positive effect on the battery life, perhaps it can be updated in the future to allow brighter screen as I doubt it has anything to do with the refresh rate.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
Hmm hopefully with the max brightness it was lower due to auto or adaptive brightness. Screen looks very vibrant in ur photo :) looks great!
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] TheAkashicTraveller:
Do you know if it supports USB OTG?

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 which has support for aptX.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Masterfellow:
Camera was average. Low light performance is bad, but when there's enough light it does take nice pics. Closeups were detailed but the focusing speed/accuracy is awfully slow.

The phone had 4hrs of screen on time and it was at 57% (it wasn't charging at the time). It only lost like 2% of battery while I was using it but that's probably because there were almost no apps, only the default ones and games.

They didn't actually have a demo with 120fps video. Although if you know how the difference between 30 and 60 feels, it will be the same with 60 to 120.

Yes, you can pre-order it now.

Yes, you should be able to remap them without root. Not in settings though.

Clarification maybe?

IIRC, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the device work on Verizon's LTE band (15) but won't work on their 3G network? This point of clarification is important -- "It works on Verizon LTE, but not 3G" is a lot different than saying "Nope, it won't work on Verizon."

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] PryvateiDz:
I'm a little disappointed in the brightness. Idk, I feel like that's a basic feature to have. I'm also a bit ticked about the camera. I felt like they should've learned from Nextbit about that. Community members on Nextbit forums complained about that a great deal.

I'm also a bit meh about the audio recording (via the Btek video comparison). Kinda crazy to have audio as a focus, and not have 2 halves of the pie, only really focusing on audio reproduction.

It's like I want the Razer phone, I feel like it's unique, in design and features. I really love the fact it has the 120Hz Ultramotion IGZO display, 4000mAh battery (my top most sought after feature), Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0+, Dual front-facing stereo speakers w/ dual amplifiers tuned w/ Dolby Atmos audio, and THX-certified Hi-Res 24-bit audio via the USB-C port. But, it's a hard choice when the V30 has great audio recording and audio reproduction (though only through the headphone jack), and a better camera for still images, and video.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
in the UK the phone is actually at the THREE stores now on demo. absolutely right feedback here, its cold to touch, looks like a tank with huge bezels. ordinarily i would steer clear but i just LOVE the retro look. yes, the screen is rather bland, its not vivid and the max brightness is a little disappointing... its very similar to the LG pre G6/V30 IPS panels (tghink G5) and has a slight blue/cool tint in two separate demo models i saw at different stores. software wise, it was very responsive but lacked an overall wow factor. No sexism intended, this looks like a proper MAN PHONE!

i pre ordered one of these and will also pre order a OP 5T when its announced, as both avail with 8GB ram. One will be sent back. Update when i get my hands on them ...

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

agreed! it doesn't have Bluetooth 5.0 either ... but there is just something about this phone that's calling me. having said that, i played with a v30 at the local store and WOW WHAT A SCREEN!!!!! and they have really dialled back on the android skin....

to be fair the only thing that concerns me is the screen brightness and its cool look which i hope you can change ... would have been nicer if one of the lenses was at least 16mp and I hope the low light issues can be fixed with a software update as this phone uses the same Sammy ISOCELL sensor (read that somewhere) as the s7/s8 and we all know how good they are ...

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
I've played around with one and the screen brightness is a deal breaker for me. It really is a dim screen, i made sure adaptive brightness was not on and on max brightness is was probably the same as 50% brightness on my Moto Z Play.

The build quality does feel top notch though.

Screen quality in general I think was a deal breaker. It almost looked a bit fuzzy to me, didn't look as sharp as the 1080p screen on my Z Play, worryingly. I did toggle between all 3 resolutions it lets you choose as well.

For some reason the unit I used had a google account logged into it, so I downloaded some light games and the most worrying thing of all was that they stuttered a lot. Simple flappy bird style games stuttered, I tried a good 4 or 5 games and they all showed the same stutters. I am sure this is just a one off issue, but it is still something I noted.

However, for £595, it seems like a pretty good deal.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] PryvateiDz:
Same.

I actually contacted their live chat support, and they didn't necessarily say that it couldn't be updated to Bluetooth 5.0. My HTC U11 was released with BT 4.2, but later on they announced that it had the hardware for 5.0, and would active it via their Android O update. I believe the reasoning was because the current version of Android doesn't really have any features to really make use of Bluetooth 5.0. So it could be the same for the Razer Phone.

I also asked about AptX HD, but they just said they can't say until the phone is released on the 17th. The camera can definitely be improved via software because it's definitely not really the sensor, but more so the image processing software. I heard it's the S7 camera sensor. I'm probably just gonna buy it.

I also wonder does the USB-C to 3.5mm THX Hi-Res certified Audio DAC Adapter drains the battery life more than what a normal 3.5mm headphone jack would. My HTC U11 let's you know when you plug earphones or headphones into their USB-C to 3.5mm adapter uses the phone's battery and drains the battery.

Interesting enough to LG is releasing the LG V30+ on T-Mobile on November 17th as well.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
yeah the dac may draw battery but its good that they bundle in a decent dac in the adapter. i have the LG G5 hifi plus DAC i got cheap for like $30, which has a sabre 32 bit dac (ES9028C2M + Sabre9602 chipset same as v20/v30) and b&o tuning. works on any phone with a usb-c and that sounds phenomenal. so if the razer dac is rubbish will just use that. https://www.doohickey-hut.com/produ...MI1a-a-Ymt1wIVBbftCh1utQ6pEAYYASABEgKJofD_BwE
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
i agree, think the scree does look a bit washed out and rather dim ... the nokia 8 has an IPS panel like this and is is WAAAAAAAAAY brighter
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
It is a shame really. Is display brightness something they can increase with a software update? I think it is enough to put people off at the moment
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
yes and no, the sharp screen is certainly a very capable panel, but if the backlight is weak there is no solution, although led backlighting can theoretically be increased, but then you have to consider the battery drain ...
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
True. It seems odd that they made it so dim. I expect even an average buyer of the phone will be put off by it
