[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] kungpaoshizi:
Updated mine with the update and not the 2nd phone. Haptic feedback still operational but no noises other than the slight hum you hear with holding anything with a vibration mode. (normal)

Certainly don't hear anything that might be described as squeaks or rattles. :/

Don't sweat it though. If ya rma it they're pretty fair, though I wouldn't let them talk you into any extended responses to allow them passed the 15 day return window. I'm a firm believer that return windows should be 1-2 months. There's just no way to fully vet a piece of hardware in 15 days unless that's all you're doing. (but most people have a job to go to)

Also with the rma they pay for shipping. I myself though turned my rma into a return for the speaker crackle and am just going to buy it from amazon. It's here in the US already and prime allows for more. Assurant is offering extended warranties as well for 162$ and 99 deductible. (though I think Upsie is cheaper; not familiar with either experience in the event of a warranty claim unfortunately)

And I have not used enough bluetooth yet on the device to be a good response for ya. Sorry. Only connected to a headset and keyboard/mouse the other to test connectivity, so I've yet to discover how it does with lengthy connection sessions.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] TheCrazyLex:
I passed on the feedback on the vibration pattern software tuning.

I'll see what we can do about it.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Smaril:
I wasn't the only person who thought haptic feedback sounded weird on my phone so I went ahead and sent an email to support. I guess we'll see how that goes.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] cant_even_dev:
Motor on mine sounds awful for calls or notifications (just like in the video). Haptic feedback for typing seems fine though.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] kungpaoshizi:
Got my third phone and it's fine, no loud rattles or such.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] DOTC:
Yeah they for sure have QC line issues. I bet some units didn't have the motor taped down.

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] ThatGuy94:
I don't have issues with normal haptic feedback like typing, but when the vibrator motor is used for things like double tap to open the camera or a call when it's on vibrate, it'll make an obnoxious rattle.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] Rox598:
I can see Razer just turning off the vibration motor if they can't find a way to make it not feel and sound like crap via software

If I'm honest when I had my unit I had this vibration turned off for most things anyway. With it and the NFC hardly working it's like just having to ignore it has these things. Hopefully my RMA goes though and I get a device with at least a better NFC and not one of these really broken vibration motors.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] DOTC:
Well I got my "Used - Like new" on Amazon today and yup.. the motor is screwed. It's a shame really, cause it's never even been touched.. someone sent it back and they just made sure the components were all there and shipped it to me. The update takes the vibration down a lot..but its also a lot weaker. I'm going to throw my sim in it and see if call vibration is decent. Using the vibration tester app it sounds like the motor it hitting the case metal. Worse case I send it back to Amazon and just buy a brand new one next time.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] manor7777:
I have had 2 brand new ones (on 2nd now) and whilst this one is better, it's still noticeable so I might send it back for a 3rd time. I'm on 3 in the UK so I should be able to just swap it in store with a bit of luck like I did last time.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] el4nimal:
I think the rattling noise coming from the vibration motor is not because it's faulty, but because it's bad quality. Mine does too and it gets a little bit irritating. But there must be already some sort of app or mod that controls the vibration strenght, that should help.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] DOTC:
I decided to keep mine.. I had my wife call me and the vibration from it is fine.. it's a smidge rattly when it's on a desk and my phone is on silent.. but everyone that's listened to it says it sounds fine, so I'm just gonna roll with it. The other major +'s of this phone way overdoes this one negative thing. Everyone I've shown it to is in awe of the sound, screen and the look of it. So..I'm happy. Not worth dealing with RMA or sending it back to Amazon and paying another $100 for a new one and getting the same thing over and over again. Oh.. and for the people that think the Essential phone camera is better.. I have no idea what they are smoking. The Razer camera is so much faster at everything. Opening..taking non HDR pics, and the quality looks about the same or better. I was like a little kid last night messing with this phone. I've never been happier with the overall experience of a phone like this.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] dot777:
It all started when I rooted my phone (Samsung J5 2016 - SM-J510FN), installed TWRP through Odin, did a reset and flashed Extreme UX (9.0). Everything worked so as a noob I decide to turn off USB Debugging and OEM Unlock. I reboot my phone and get the message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP". So I decide to look up how to fix it. Kies didn't work so I go through sammobile and download the Stock ROM. I searched SM-J510FN and filtered for my country (Greece). I downloaded the first ROM I found and flashed it through Odin. I was really excited. Then I unlock my phone. I get dozens of popup messages of "x has stopped working" and the launcher wasn't working properly. I would appreciate any help. Is it a firmware problem? Should I do a hard reset and try installing stock again? Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LazyCorn:
Hey!

I recently got a s8, and im in love I really am, but im very very worried because it lags in snapchat a bit and while opening facebook messenger heads. I'm just wondering if there is possible that something is wrong with my device or this is all normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kugys86:
Hi! I have noticed the same problems with my s8, and as you said its mostly on snapchat and messenger. Are you running them while the power saving mode is turned on? I noticed that apps like these lag on power saving mode for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LazyCorn:
Nope power saving turned of for me... maybe is just samsung update or something because other apps run fine as far as i can tell
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] seanie2322:
Also lagging a lot on messenger and Snapchat. Done a factory reset to see if it would fix this but no joy
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LazyCorn:
I think there will be a software update to fix it, because on Android O the s8 is almost as fast as the note 8... and Android O is still in beta.

It depends on the carrier. If you dindn't get a notification asking to update that means you have not gotten the update yet. I'd wait a few more days or even weeks and the update should be out for everyone. :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Monkey Chops:
I'm having some problems with battery drain and also with high CPU warnings because of google play services. Everything is up to date. The warnings seem pretty random, and the battery drain some days in none existant, but the following day it will lose 20% in a couple of hours on standby and otherwise unused. I have cleared the cache, I have cleared the cache and data for all the google services I could find. I have deleted my 3 google accounts and re-added them.

Deleting the data and cache from the apps does seem to help, temporarily, but in a few days the problem is back.

My Note 8 is the Exynos UK version.

Does anyone else have these issues and is there a fix? My Mrs has the same thing happening on her S8.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] thought67:
Same Issue on my Note 8

This issue started 2 days ago, it's completely drained my battery and when i usually have 40% left at the end of the day, my battery was dead by 3 PM which is ridiculous. Checked the battery usage and Google Services is taking a massive amount of battery. Any idea of the cause? The drain slows when i put it on power saving mode i need this fixed!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BJBBJB:
People in household with note 8 and s7 both having issue. Worse, device maintenance allows you to close Google play services via a notification which disables many functions for the non technical user.

Hopefully a fix is coming.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkmz:
My wife sister has a sm-g920f and has been using it on tmobile. I guess tmobile introduced volte November 1st. So when she makes a call it takes forever to go through because her phone isn't supported. It says swisscom when booted.

Is there any Rom, method or anything to give better compatibility for her phone on tmobile?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dutchy716:
I'm wondering if anyone else is or has been experiencing this issue. For the last couple weeks my black Pixel 2XL 128gig on Android 8.0 is having a problem switching from LTE to HSPA when trying to make a phone call. I've been on the phone with both Google and AT&T numerous times. ATT deactivated and reactivated my sim card. I ended up getting a new sim card and still didn't fix the problem. Google eventually sent me a brand new phone and I'm still having the same problem. Now Google wants to send me another new phone. I had the original pixel XL on ATT and did not have this issue at all. Anyone else having a similar issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JaredC01:
Uh... Yes, that's normal, you don't have VoLTE enabled. There's a whole thread about enabling it with AT&T here on the boards. TL:DR of that thread, download the Oreo 8.1 beta, enable VoLTE in the software, talk to AT&T to enable enhanced voice features.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
You may need a new sim card, I had similar issues, visited an AT&T store and it was fixed within five minutes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dutchy716:
I did get a new SIM card. Still was experiencing the same problem. I updated to 8.1 beta to and enabled enhanced LTE to see if that fixes the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dutchy716:
It definitely was not normal. I had a the first pixel XL before this and did not experience this issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JaredC01:
Then somehow you had VoLTE on your first Pixel. Without VoLTE, the phone will 100% of the time kick back out to HSPA+ when you make a phone call. That's been the case with every phone I've owned prior to VoLTE and actually having a phone that had and made use of VoLTE.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dutchy716:
I know it's supposed to kick back to HSPA when making a phone call. The problem is that it doesn't. Instead of going to HSPA I lose signal completely. The phone will try to make the phone call and then the phone will manually hang up like I hit the end call button but it does it automatically. Then I either have to toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone to get LTE again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JaredC01:
Ah ha, your original post didn't make it sound like that. In that case, maybe try a new SIM card?

Edit: Re-read the first post and you already tried a new SIM. Have you tried a SIM from someone else, maybe on another Network to see if it's the phone or the network?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dutchy716:
Ya I got a new SIM the other day. I talked to jcase about it and he believes it's a provisioning issue on AT&Ts end. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they found a solution to it. I did end up upgrading to 8.1 beta and that obviously fixed it because of enhanced calling. It's just weird because I haven't found anybody else who has had this problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bmaz121:
One thing you should always try before going to the provider is a safe mode boot. I tried a new rom and could not get data. Most things worked but no data. I could call and WIFI but no cellular data. In safe mode I got data. That tells you some third party APP is responsible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
What does VoLTE have to do having LTE data while on a call? I don't see any reason why you couldn't have LTE available for data even when it doesn't support LTE for voice calls.

I've had LTE switch to H every time I've made a phone call on my Nexus 5, Nexus 5X and Pixel 2 XL. Since 8.1 I've had VoLTE. I know because when I make a call I see the "HD" which is VoLTE but the LTE still switches to H so it seems like the two are related.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RomPlinker:
Uhm, everything? VoLTE is Voice over LTE which implies that you have an LTE radio connection (as opposed to a UMTS/WCDMA/HS*PA radio connection).

That's because you don't understand the fundamental way in which cellular networks work. Don't feel bad - you're not alone; it's a complicated topic.

The radio on your device can only support one type of radio connection at a time. There are a multitude of reasons for this: capacity on the chip, the need for multiple amplifiers to work simultaneously (because typically carriers use different parts of the radio spectrum for one Radio Access Type than another), antenna capacity etc. Keep in mind that are scenarios in which your device is already juggling quasi multiple radio connects, e.g. carrier aggregation.

Don't get me wrong, there have been devices that supported multiple simultaneous radio access technologies on a single device, but that's because they had multiple radios. These were older devices on IS-95 CDMA carriers such a Sprint when they were pushing WIMAX, and even I believe some Verizon devices which allowed them to do multi-RAB for simultaneous voice and calls before their CDMA infrastructure was upgraded to allow this (and prior to their VoLTE launch). These devices are few and far between.

One last point on this topic: the network handles handover between RATs (though it's possible for the device to only support one RAT). If you were allowed to have simultaneous connections to two radio access types, the network would be juggling twice the resources for your device (the transmit and receive portion of a data connection or call is not the only resource involved). This is yet another reason why in most circumstances you'll never see two simultaneous RATs for one device: it costs the network money. Unless you're trying to cover up for a deficiency is your network architecture (e.g. IS-95 CDMA networks lack of support for multi-RAB. Multi-RAB refers to radio access bearers, basically multiple virtual connections across a single radio link. You might think of this like VLANs on an ethernet network.) you don't put the network and engineering expenses to support multiple RATs..

Actually, no. "HD" stands for "HD Voice" which is a better codec. Depending on the carrier, you may get HD voice on a 3G RAT and VoLTE RAT or just on a VoLTE RAT. Keep in mind that HD Voice uses more radio resource than the standard GSM codecs, so there's a trade-off involved here. LTE is more spectral efficient, so offering the higher quality, higher bit rate voice codec on VoLTE has less of an impact on the network than offering it on VoLTE + 3G. So depending on your carrier, they may or may not allow the HD codec on non-VoLTE radio connections. Either way, HD does not in any way shape or form constitute having a VoLTE connection, since it's radio access type independent.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
My Pixel 2 XL does VoLTE on AT&T. "HD" might have different meanings in different cases but in this case the "HD" does mean VoLTE. Google specifically stated that in release notes for 8.1 on the Pixel 2 XL.

Also, back when I had a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (AT&T's LTE variant of the Galaxy S2 and its first LTE phone) back in late 2011 it didn't do VoLTE but it did allow LTE data while a voice call was in progress.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bucika:
Hello,

I've already purchased the OP5T (6gb version) And it will be here tomorrow..

But the validation for the student discount took a lot longer than expected, so I can buy the phone with the discount starting tomorrow..

Now, I can't get in touch with no one at OnePlus (I newer could) so I'm asking the community for the help..

I'm willing to buy another OnePlus 5T but with the student discount.. But I will send back that phone that comes tomorrow so I get a refund for the 500€ that I've paid for it..

Now what I want to know is.. How long can I send back the phone back to OnePlus to get the money back, no question asked..?

I would of course rather keep the device, and get 50€ back to my account, but as no one is willing to communicate with me, I can't do that.. So I will buy another device tomorrow and keep using this one till the other one comes and send that one back..

(I don't have any other phone atm that I can use past tomorrow that's why I will be using the device that I get..

Any contact, or help, advice.. will be much appreciated, thank you.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] amatzen:
It works now, I just purchased the OP5T with Student Discount earlier. But for the 10% it ain't worth to refund it and buy a new, and you won't probably get your €50 back. Try the OnePlus Livechat, they helped me yesterday, where the Student Discount feature didn't work, and told me I should buy it today.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] droidhd:
Under your order there is option for return (first 15 days after delivery - check OP forums). But should you try to sell this unit for same amount of money you payed for it? I wanted to order it with student discount, but Slovenia is not on a list of studentbeam.

Black Friday offers?

I am a student and want to buy this phone immediately but I am just waiting for the Black Friday.

Don't you think that it will be a discount or something on next Friday, or it's better to order it now?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bucika:
Not a Chance mate, not this phone at least.. :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] mhabeb:
So is it better to order it now?

I am upgrading from iPhone 6 Plus, what do you recommend 5t or S8+ ?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bucika:
Yeah man..I will go for the 8 tomorrow for sure.. ;) If I an get it with the discount ofc.. And then I will send back the 6gb model as soon as the new one arrives. :p

Ps. Valda ne bo kompliciranja, ko bom hotel vrnit en telefon, sem razmišljal tudi o prodaji, samo ni šans, da dobim 500€.. Folk pri nas še vedno premalo pozna OnePlus..

I did open the ticket asking the question tho, will report back.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bucika:
I sold my 7 Plus to get the OPT5..

I tested out the S8 +.. great camera, but not a huge leap comparing to the S7 / S7 Edge.. And phone will for sure slow down as soon as you will load all of your apps on it, likely in a months or so use.. If you want speed OP5T is the right choice.. If you go Samsung go Note 8.. Samsung REALLY NEEDS the 6gb of RAM - Trust me on this one.

But basically it all comes down to your use.. If you take a lot of pictures, go for the Samsung, if you like to tweak the phone.. go for the OPO, if you like to take your phone swimming go Samsung, if you like a decent battery life go OPO..

And fingerprint scanner is way better on the OPO, if that's important to you also.. I like the screen on Samsung more, but man.. Bloat and slowdowns, are not my cup of tea.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bucika:
Hmm.. I get this.. but when I press go shopping now.. Nema ništa :mad::D:D
