[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] godashram:
Well, I think I solved my issue... Before sending it back to Razer, I tried reactivating Android Pay with my bank card, and since I have to call my bank to do so, I had them delete all previous authorizations before authorizing my phone again.

So far, it's batting 100! 4 attempts, and all 4 worked. Not sure why it matters, as it didn't on my LG,
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] android01:
Are you sure you didn't drop it again and that's why it's working so well today? :D

The NFC is just legit crap on this handset. And like you say, probably some corrupt software bug that needs a nice patch. ( Or all info deleted and reinstalled / added until it corrupts it self again , which it probably will )

I don't think an RMA will work for a problem we are all experiencing equally. This is definitely a bug of some type. Otherwise it would not work ever. And only affect a single user.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] godashram:
pretty sure I didn't drop it again :D

But seriously, there is probably a bug. When testing at work (I can actually test android pay using a test and repair feature on a POS system here) I used to get 2-4 beeps when trying my primary card in Android Pay, which results in a failure due to multiple card attempts. After having the bank remove all previous authorizations, I am getting a single beep with a pass message. Now I did have 2 previous bank authorizations with my previous phone, and another 2 with the razer, which the bank did delete all previous authorizations before adding the new one.

Also used it again this morning and it worked (where it failed previously) So, since I just got paid, i'll test it EVERYWHERE this weekend and if it fails, I stil have an active RMA, but if it doesn't then I'll just have to remember to delete this authorization if I every hard reset the phone (unless Razer fixes the issue)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] android01:
Thanks, maybe mine is acting wack too because I didn't remove any previous authorization from my past Nexus phone. Maybe that's what causes the bug.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
Nah that shouldn't make a difference, it's either the chip is underpowered, glitchy or cheap.

I tried pairing my phone with my speakers using NFC and the NFC went haywire the sound it makes when it finds it kept going on and off
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] K1LLerCal:
NFC issue

Honestly I'm having the same issue, My Razer Phone came with a Leviathen Mini for free and it has an NFC chip built in. I can confirm that it turbo fires.. It's as if it's connecting and reconnecting 10x/a sec!

Is there anything I can do to try and fix this? Maybe warranty? :confused:
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nexy33:
get the same but android pay works for me the chip seems to be just under the cameras
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] android01:
I used to get 1 out of 10 attempts to work. But now that I installed the official razerphone rugged case, I get zero out of 10 attempts to work. I have completely given up on NFC reliability entirely. Further, I don't see how and rma or warranty would help a this is clearly a design flaw. Sending an RMA would just have me out a phone for four weeks and a replacement arriving with potentially new problems. No thanks. Razer phone bombed the NFC as far as I'm concerned.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ItzMar:
Mine doesn't have your issue, I wouldn't call it a design floor.

I've never had it not work, at all not once. I've used it over 100+ times since getting the phone too as I use it daily on my work commute.

Due to the placement (close to the top somewhere between the razer logo and the cameras) it's also one of the only android devices that I have owned that puts it in a convenient place.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] android01:
Then you are the first person I've seen not have a problem. Literally switched from an hauwei phone to this Razer phone. Using 30 terminals a day, and immediately that's when my problems began.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ItzMar:
Sorry to hear that. Mine is from the UK and bought through the network "3". Collected from the store on day 1.

I wonder if batches play a part in this?
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] android01:
Not sure, but I ordered mine directly from the Razer website. And it shipped right out of China direct to me. If you head over to the Razer insider forums , (razers official forums ) there's a bunch of others there complaining about the problem too. And I have completely given up on this phones nfc capability, and in general, the Razer support as a whole due to other issues I encountered simply ordering a case for the phone. Really unhappy with the phone experience with their support so I'm afraid to even process a warranty claim. At this point, it's less effort to just chose to not care.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] godashram:
Since my original issue worked itself out, I have had a 100% success rate all of December and January (well, January so far)

It does seem a bit under powered, but tapping directly over the exact spot on every terminal has worked for me.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] iStasis:
The one place mine use to fail was at the little shop at work however they have changed their terminal/card reader now and my phones been working perfectly since
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheCrazyLex:
If possible please generate a bug report zip via development settings after such nfc fails happen and upload it here.

I can take a look and hopefully find a fix (if it's a software problem).
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] iStasis:
I only had a problem with 2 stores and one was a certain checkout point where all the others i had no issue at all. The other problem was in a shop at work and they just replaced their terminal as i was having problems but now on their new terminal its working perfectly. Still carrying a psychial card about just incase but with the modern day i should use the oh you dont take modern payments ill just leave the items here and walk away. Shops really need to support ApplePay/Android pay these days most will but smaller shops wont.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AptLogic:
The Galaxy S8 forums had one of these threads during the first couple weeks of the phone being out, its kind of like general discussion and complaining about how long it takes for our phones to ship (you all know how it is).

Personally, I'm going to wait about a week after the 5T goes on sale so that I can get as much info as possible from reviews and disassembly, etc. Better ship with FedEx :p

How about everyone else? Thoughts/concerns/complaints?

(mods: if this isn't the kind of thing that belongs here feel free to close the thread :) )

I'm just trying to decide between the 64 or 128gb version. I have never bought the top end version of a phone before. Seriously considering the 128gb version. Nice thing is, I can sell my s8 for £330 as well. I have an old htc one m7 lying around, which I may use in the in the mean time.

EDIT updated address to go to my work address. No change on delivery time. By end of day tomorrow!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tjg_marantz:
Yeah I'm really torn. The 8 is overkill for my use and the 128 is overkill, but but but... I'm less than half full on my 32 gig 6p lol. This really shouldn't be a hard decision.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] VecoED:
Waiting for news from O2 to see when they're shipping my pre order. hopefully they'll be an email around 2PM, launch time.

Feel a bit sorry for my friend who bought a OnePlus 5 about a week before this phone was rumored, but at least i'll be able to directly compare it in person.

EDIT: I spoke too soon! I just got the tracking number email from O2 15 mins later, woo!

I also spoke with live chat to clarify if the phone will come fully unlocked so i'm not stuck with O2. The guy scared me by initially saying yes, it was locked to O2, but i asked him to double check, and no it's not locked, phew!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] big_b0sss:
You can sell your s8 more than that. I was hoping atleast £420. I'll be ordering as soon as sale goes up. Getting the 128gb version as I'm getting 10% student discount. And will sell my s8. This is the first Samsung device I would hate to let go. S8 will always have special place

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lupes5:
well there are actually 3 screens your phone goes through on bootup.

The 1st is where it says AT&T or whatever service you have.

The 2nd is an animation

The 3rd is the Windows Mobile screen, right before its completely loaded.

This picture i posted replaces the 3rd splash. Save the picture as welcomehead.96.png (make sure its a png file, not a jpeg), and place it in the Windows folder on your phone.

The 2nd animation is a gif file in the Windows folder, but i can't remember its name off the top of my head...i think its animate.gif

So it happened i faced this challenge and i found a way to go about so i decided to share.

JUST flash a ROM for your phone.

Create a nandroid backup.

Now place the backup folder you originally wanted to restore in the TWRP Folder the backup just created.

Boot into recovery, then restore and flash your nandroid backup as its suppose to be.
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
The ROM may not be showing up in the backup folder if the folder serial # doesn't match the phone's serial #?
[Nexus 5 General] ovo dc:
Yes
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
Wouldn't it be easier to rename the TWRP backup folder with the corresponding serial # and then restore?
[Nexus 5 General] ovo dc:
In my case, the serial number was the same because it was still the same phone but anytime i place the backup folder in the serial folder , TWRP couldn't find it and restore , so i backed up a rom and placed it in that backup folder and i was able it find and restore. But with what you said yes that would be easier if your the serial numbers were different or you changed your phone but that wasn't my case.
[Nexus 5 General] audit13:
Weird because I have used TWRP many times before and, when I create a backup, I move the backup to my computer. When I want to restore it, I mount the backup folder in twrp, copy the backup to my N5, and TWRP always finds the backup and restores it. I have used the same procedure with my LG G2, Samsung S4, Samsung S3, and Samsung Note 3.
[Nexus 5 General] ovo dc:
Exactly , thats how its suppose to be

Hi, I'm using Rs988. I live in Ukraine and here the operators support only 2g and 3g. The phone does not catch the signal of all operators. I think that the problem is in the antenna. As I understand the antenna for wcdma, gsm is at the bottom of the phone. How to improve the signal?

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shloms:
Yes for 2G, and some of the 3G it's the antennas on the removable battery "chin"

This is for your model.

However, as you can see some of the 3G are shared with Antenna 3 on the top.

You can check the Bottom removable part if the 2 contacts make good connection with PCB.

I have not yet managed to fix my gps permanently.

I took a copper solder-wick, cleaned it well with contact spray and put it at the gps contacts mentioned here.

At first it works well but after a few days gps intermittent again.

I removed the copper wire, and bent the gps pin so that it will have a good connection.

checked the connection between the board and the GPS pin (0.00 with multimeter = GREAT CONNECTION)

I suspect the problem is with the antenna inside the back-cover.

Bottom line:

Maybe it's possible to improvise the gps antenna with thin wires?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shloms:
Inside the back cover? the antenna is the white flex and goes between the LCD and the main frame.

I doubt that the soft contact (I marked in green, because it was a response to some other post) is part of the GPS.

In theory, yes you could improvise an antenna, but I see 2 problems - 1. it would have to be a very specific length for the frequency (if I recall right 1750Mhz?) 2. the back cover is metal, and once it is closed, practically the inside is shielded to signals.

It is only the very top of the phone between the main frame and LCD that hosts the 3 antennas, including the one for the GPS.

I even thought about drilling a tiny hole in the back cover and connecting a GPS antenna (like you find in most other phones, can be bought as spare parts for many phones), through a thin shielded cable, and sticking it on the back cover from the outside, but so far the springs on the pins prove to be reliable.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thetool:
What do you mean by "the antenna is the white flex and goes between the LCD and the main frame."?

I have managed to find a replacement Dead G5 to test it. (I'll need to buy it if I want to keep it)

I have replaced the back cover - Instant fix. (get 3m accuracy outside and 10m inside)

That was my thought - the back cover sometimes is the culprit.

Because I tried everything and nothing really works.

With my back cover (no mods) the signal is very bad.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shloms:
I mean this:

You can't access this part unless you heat the LCD/frame to separate them, the antenna is the grey flex strip/pcb that has the antenna trace etched on it. you won't see this part as it is between LCD/frame as I mentioned.

View attachment 4337810

Now, can you see the arrow? this is the remaining flex strip that has the connector that you are familiar with. And this connector, as you know, touches the metal mesh on the back case.

View attachment 4337812

What I did, if you read my original post, is solder springs on the connector, and removed the mesh because I suspected it was oxidized and/or the glue was not conducting well.

So far, so good.

My guess would be that your mesh has the same issue and the other case you tested has a good mesh.

If it's not too expensive maybe you should keep this back cover, although reading from other threads, some users bought a replacement cover with good results initially and the problem returned after a while.

From what I see, there is NO antennas on the back cover except the NFC antenna which is around the fingerprint sensor - this is even stated at the document LG submitted to the FCC .

The back cover is used as a ground plane for the antenna and is not in itself an antenna.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thetool:
Thanks for your detailed reply.

My old back cover doen't have a mesh at all.

I played with it many times and put a cooper shim with a mesh beneath (exactly like you did here)

pulled the gps pin and cleaned every contact on the back with contact cleaner...

Sometimes it worked well for a day or 2... most of the time it was bad from the beginning.

You never know if it's really fixed, just after a few days. so annoying.

been working on it for way too many hours lol

(Picture of the original back and the copper I used, after cleaning well of course)

tried also using some silver wire I took from another phone... was very bad.
