[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Rashad83:
I think the call quality is okey, i wasn't blown out with it. I think my HTC U11+ is louder though not by much. I don't know why the manufacturers put a cap on the volume strength when clearly you can go beyond and still it will be safe. Leave it to the consumer to decide.:rolleyes:
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Penguin-PC:
No VOLTE

So I've spoken with tech support with both Asus, T-Mobile, over the phone and in store. The end result was that the Asus ROG phone does have the capability to support VOLTE calls, but the software is not enabled, nor able to be enabled to make it work. So it's not a T-Mobile or AT&T issue, it's an Asus issue. Worse still Asus knows its an issue and has no plans to release an update to get it working. So calls basically sound like they did back in the late 90's which isn't good for those of you who weren't born yet. Any help on this issue from the Dev's here would be a huge help. I'm going to try rooting the phone and see if that will allow me to force the option to be allowed to turn on in the secret settings menu after punching in the code on the dialer. Currently if the code is punched in on the dialer the option to turn on VOLTE is there but isn't able to be enabled. Hoping rooting fixes this. If not the phone is going back. It is a phone after all.

call quality is bad

Hello, i have really big problems with this phone when is about talking to it, i was write on Asus forum details about this issue, i'm on the 3rd replaced rog phone in 5 days, all of them have the same problem: quality is horrible, the person i talk with barely can hear me, then is hearing some weird noises and total silence. This is happening with each call, random times, can happen from start of conversation or seconds later or minutes later.

Hope it's ok if i drop the link here:

asus.com/zentalk/thread-246208-1-1.html[/url]

If anyone had any similar issues please let me know. I talked with someone from local Asus and they are aware of this problem, but the problem is that i can't get a replacement everyday until i'm lucky enough to get a functional phone, wasting my time on my own money after paid $900+ for this phone... i like it how it feels in hand & it's specs but can't use it as a phone atm to talk at it.

PS: sorry for my typo & eng skills

I believe this is a software issue and not hardware. I hope they fix in next update.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] iStasis:
I read on ThreeUK's site the below as much as I want this phone I may hold off as the call needs some quaility.

4G Super-Voice doesn't work on other non-Three devices yet however, even if the manufacturer has stated that it's VoLTE compatible. We're working on this, so be sure to check back for updates.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] merkidemis:
I am having similar issues. It takes 10-15 attempts for me to dial out (if I ever do), and if it connects the person either cannot hear me at all, barely hear me, or I cut in and out. I've RMAd it twice now and they are unable to recreate the issue. There was some thought around a theory that the noise canceling mics might be not working properly, but I'll need to do more testing. The fact that you (and a couple other people I've seen around the net) have had the same issue with MULTIPLE phones makes me think there is a software and/or hardware defect. At this point I am leaning towards just getting a different phone.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] TzunnyNIB:
They are very aware of this, i changed 4 phones in 2 weeks and each one of them does the same thing. I decided to keep the 4th one with hope that they will fix this asap, but problem still persist.

Check my thread on the ASUS forum.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] rustyblood:
My personal experience with this phone has been very good. Call quality is excellent, although I have only tested regular voice calls and whatsapp calls. On either one, the reception has been flawless, even on say, hard to reach locations. I have inevitably compared the call reception with my Nokia 8 and they are both incredibly good. Nokia has always been superior on call reception and call quality, and the ROG really makes up for it. No stuttering, no call drops, really good.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Rashad83:
I concur. :)
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] bbmaster123:
I just spoke to my brother driving through the snow storm in north dakota on his way home, call quality was solid. Heard him loud and clear, no background noise, never had to say "what?" , and thats a long distance call where he's in white out conditions. (plus I'm with bell and he's on rogers but probably connected to a US carrier ATM)

ROG phone has never dropped a call or had any audio connection issues so far. I definitely get VoLTE on certain calls, but not many. I think it depends on carrier, the actual phone that you are calling, and even whether they are on another network or not. at least for my canadian carrier.

overall, I'd say definitely solid and reliable in my own 3+ months with this phone.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Esja:
I'm experiencing the same problem. The microphone gets "muted" in the beginning of every call. After about 5-7 seconds of talking, it gets activated and the other person can finally hear me. It's extremely frustrating.

Apart from that, the call quality and reception is excellent.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] robdevil:
In my case call quality is crap. But it is me who can not hear properly. It is due to lack of VoLTE I think. 2 people connected via 3G and both on BT headset = call quality disaster. Pixel 3XL on volte no problem at all
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] duongtm:
I made 3 calls yesterday and receiver kept asking "where are you now, signal is bad". I do think that noise cancelling maybe does too good, it cancelled my voice also

[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] bamsemh:
I just got my rog phone this Monday. I play arena of Valor on my phones. And after getting rog, I found that it has a lot of ping spikes. On my Oneplus 6 I'm playing in Europe with about 40-50ms ping. But on the rog it goes from 40-120ms. I'm still waiting for the asus phone cover, and gamepad. Hopefully it will help. Lineage 2 revolution also get lower bandwidth while gaming on the rog phone. Hopefully this will be fixed by update, and not the apple iPhone hardware failure on the antenna.

Updates:

I now have sim card in the phone and will be using it as daily driver.

Ping is a lot better on 4g connection than wifi. On 4g i game with 60-68ms. Wifi 40-100+ms. So it is the wifi that need a big upgrade. Aov is used for the testing.

[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Kantana:
HI there, how is the performance of Lineage 2 Revolution on this phone? What kind of FPS do you get and does the performance remain smooth after a long time of gaming or does heat reduce performance?
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] bamsemh:
The fps goes between 5 and 60. Mostly between 50-60. Heat is about 35c degrees. Never had any heat problems so far, but the air is also cold. I think the problem will be in the summer, if my phone lasts that long. If they won't fix the ping spike problem, I'll probably go for the Oneplus 7. Lag in games, on a gamer phone, is a serious killer. And normally an acer feature, not asus.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] Kantana:
Thanks, how's battery life when running Lineage 2?
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] bamsemh:
I have found out that Oneplus 6 plays games for the same amount of hours as rog phone. So not impressive.
[Asus ROG Phone Real Life Review] iStasis:

i just bought the RN5P today and decided to test out some custom ROMs. the Recover and ROM installation went great for the RR and AOSP, but everytime i tried to install the Google Apps Aroma, it's always stuck and went blank then goes to restart the TWRP after the last screen when it says "Install GApps". it's only restarting the TWRP not the device it self. one thing that i notice the second time when i tried to install the Open GApps Aroma, there's error "E:Legacy property environment did not initialize successfully. Properties may not be detected." i have tried installing it with official TWRP and the red wolf one (forgot the name), non is successful. but the official TWRP will give me error encryption thing, and asked me to enter decrypt key and the TWRP needed to be flashed again. is this only happening to me? i enjoy trying custom ROMs, so please help me

[Android General] skeleton1911:
Many Users ask me how to lock the Bootloader again. for many Reason.

Well it is a bit complicated because lock/unlocking is only possible with 20180227 base

but with that base we have no fastboot commands. :(

newer updates now are with working fastboot commands but without possibility to lock/unlock the bootloader :(

so if you are on newer Stock Roms or Custom Roms , how to lock the bootloader again ?

i will explain it here:

we need

20180227 Bootloader

. that is the

abl.img

because its the bootlaoder we can not flash it with fastboot commands.

So we will use QFIL flashtools.

i have made a QFIL Flashable zip here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=180qL7E6seyp0y_9uclp99WbIYGdenjRc

1. Download it

2 extract the folder to your desktop

3. reboot the phone to edl mode.

3a. with adb

adb shell
reboot edl

3b. with Hardkey Buttons

open device manager /lcom port on windows
plug in the micro usb cable
hold all buttons at the same time ( vol+ vol- and power)
hold them as long as in device manager you read ...9008.. driver.

4. Start QFIL Flashtools and choose the extracted folder on your desktop

5. prepare QFIL ( firehose , raw_unsparse.xml . patch0-xml )

6. flash it and wait till its done

7. now unplug the micro usb cable and reboot to bootloader

hold power and vol- togeher , when the Led light up green then leave power button ,
but hold vol- until you are in bootloader

8. now open your cmd and browse to adb folder again.

9. with

fastboot flashing lock

you will lock the bootlaoder again. ( look at phone and apply)

After you locked the Bootloader a Wipe/Factory reset is necessary.

reboot . Done!

with fastboot flashing unlock you can unlock it again.

your Bootloader is locked again

Dear Skeleton1911,

I hope you had great X-Mas days ;)

My U Pro is on Eragon v10.3 but I need a locked bootloader for a banking app to be working.

Plus I need to get rid of the warning before the boot of the device, that the bootloader is unlocked.

I followed your guide above (missed the point to reconnect the phone to the PC between 7.) and 8.) or 8.) and 9.)) but got it done successfully after all.

Unfortunately, there is still a message before the booting process starts, that says "your device has loaded a different operating system... bla bla bla"

Is there any way to get rid of that message? What do I need to do?

Will this message at least disappear when I go back to stock rom?
[Android General] skeleton1911:
This message should disappear when you are going to stock (if the bootloader is locked now).

But banking apps should work even with unlock.

It's magisk.

Try this

1. Deinstall the banking app and reboot

2. Open magisk manager/install /choose direct install

3. Reinstall the banking app

4. Don't open it and go to magisk hide and hide it

5. Open the banking app.

Should work.

P.s

Magisk has an update to v18 . Maybe it is not working etc.. because v18 has different codes.

If it don't work. Uninstall magsik completely and install v18 via twrp

[Android General] ThWunderlich:
Thanks Skelton1911 for your superfast reply!

I am also thinking about selling the device, therefore I need to get rid of the message before the boot process.

If I go back to stock, do I need to go to 20180227 or can I flash immediately 20180918 with QFIL?

Anything in particular I have to be aware of when going back to either of those stocks?

Thank you!
[Android General] skeleton1911:
Use 918 (just flash it via flashtools)

That's also the latest update

So there will no OTA in the future I think....

[Android General] ThWunderlich:
Thank you I will do that!

I'll let you know how it worked out ;)

---------- Post added at 19:12 ---------- Previous post was at 18:48 ----------

Okay, going back to 20180918 went like a charme following your guide.

The message prior to booting has disppeared, therefore the device is in perfect condition to sell.

I will miss you and your perfect support. I hope you are happy with your new slider!

Hi, Skeleton 1911
[Android General] ApplePerson:
Phone bricked?

Sorry if I'm making mistakes, I'm new to rooting and flashing.

I tried to unlock, root and install twrp + a different ROM from other tutorials on this phone (the Eragon Pie v2 link is broken by the way), which lead me to a situation where I was able to flash custom ROMs, but only using QFIL, not through fastboot. I also had the side effect where if I put up a pin or any password on the phone and rebooted, put in the pin when I get prompted to do so on boot and it would just not want to go past the boot animation, requiring a factory reset.

So I got fed up with all of this and just wanted to restore my phone back to its original ROM and status, I followed the steps in this thread but now my phone only boots to the fastboot screen. I can't use fastboot commands to flash anything to it, I do can make it boot to EDL and flash things to it using QFIL, but each time it just goes back to the fastboot screen.

On the fastboot screen I noticed that this screen says:

I have no idea what I can do to fix this, any help?

Some progress: I've managed to be able to load up TWRP by downloading the stock ROM 20180511 and then flashed TWRP by putting the phone in FastBoot mode and then using ADB on a PC with the phone connected:

Afterwards choosing the option "START" or regularly rebooting it makes it reboot two times and then it proceeds to launch TWRP. Are there any suggestions on my next steps to recover this device properly?

Try to install magisk via twrp, delete data cache and dalvik in twrp file explorer and restart.

Is there any way to have Eragon 10 and a locked Bootloader? I QFIL'ed Eragon and then QFIL'ed the lockable Bootloader but as soon as I re-lock it, my device becomes "corrupt and will not boot". When I unlock it again it boots fine. I would like to have TWRP, root and a locked Bootloader for banking app reasons. I have a very persistant banking app that can not be hidden from / with Magisk. I also tried Root Cloak with Xposed but still no luck :/

Hello All,

I own a Sony Bravia model KDL-42W650A and its been almost 5 years now. Since couple of months the TV has started to reboot in loop. Sometimes the TV runs for hours with no issue. I have almost tried all the options known to me.

1. TV model KDL-42W650A

2. Updated to the latest version PKG4.600GAA but no luck

3. Changed TV adapter, tried different power sockets but no luck

4. The room is airy enough so that it does not get heated up

5. Also performed a Self Check by pressing i+5+Volume(-) but all the components looks fine with 00.

I am quiet frustrated at the moment as I am not getting any help from Sony service Centre also. One of the personnel visited last week and took the visiting charges and asked me to share the reboot issue video on whatsapp. However, he never responded back.

Please help me out here.

[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
I'm not really seeing why anyone wants Pro on a smartphone.

There is a reason Pro only comes on touchscreen devices - because it is completely impractical on a non-touchscreen device. For one thing, keyboard shortcuts do NOT work. I don't know about most people, but I am quite accustomed to accessing menu options using the number keys. With Pro, you're forced to use the dpad.

Many smartphone apps also do not work in Pro, or if they work, are not usable.

It's cool as a "proof of concept", but for usability, it sucks. Completely impractical. It's about as useful as a touchscreen phone with a broken touchscreen.
[HTC Tornado] pongothemagnificent:
what about the treo 750 it comes with pro and ppl love it i've used it my self and i have no problems what so ever, the lack of touchscreen dosnt even bother me it works like charm
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
Treo 750 has a touchscreen.

No manufacturer would be crazy enough to put Pro on a non-touchscreen device. It could have been done as far back as WM2003.
[HTC Tornado] blackpig06:
Some people said that the pro system run much faster than standard version on his StarTrek.And some ppc programs have more functions.In fact we can use joystick,virtual cursor and the AP Keys.So i think the pro system on tornado is a terrific thing.:D:D:D
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
I didn't notice anything being faster with the Pro version, and navigating with joystick and virtual cursor is much, MUCH slower than navigating with numeric keypad.

I'm not just "guessing" that Pro on a smartphone sucks, I have a StarTrek and I did try Pro. In my opinion, it's impractical.

Take a PPC, break the touchscreen, that's what it's like.

It's about as practical as running Windows without a mouse.
