Some interesting stats for some that have bought a Sprint to modify and run on a different carrier.

I have two Moto Z2F phones one of VzW and the other on Sprint BL, Sim Unlocked and rooted stock Rom.

I ran Speed test from home with both phones

Sprint XT1789-03 signal -111dBm Download speed 8.75 Mbps Sprint Sim 4g LTE

Sprint XT1789-03 signal – 99 dBm Download speed 13.85 Mbps Verizon Sim 4g LTE (Still Roaming)

Verizon XT1789-01 signal -110dBm Download speed 58 to 65 Mbps Verizon Sim 4g LTE not Roaming

I’m trying to stop the roaming on my Sprint with VzW sim. I tried a network reset and corrupted my VzW sim, I had to go to the VzW store and get a new sim.

I tried re flashing the stock rom too many times to remember.

I can not get the VzW firmware to work, it will flash ok but set-up keeps stopping so I’m using the Sprint firmware.

The phone is running great, BL unlocked, rooted, Safety net checks ok, I have good Titanium backups, TWRP backups that all work. I don’t know how I did it but the encryption correct with no errors in TWRP.

I just can't get the phone to stop roaming with my VzW sim.

I wonder when I put my Sprint sim in does the chdmod change back??
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Have you tried keeping all partitions sprint except system and OEM? (Get to latest sprint stock, then flash latest Verizon system sparse chunks and OEM image). It worked flawlessly on my Sprint Z2 for AT&T
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] TwoBuells:
I flashed Verizon system sparse chunks and OEM image.

I changed the Fbat file to the new names (oem.img Sprint, oem.img_sparsechunk.0 VzW etc)

after booting I get "Setup keeps closing" error, I get the same error when I flash just the VzW firmware

I'n not sure whats doing that.

one thing to think about, over the weekend I called VzW. we tried to get my phone to stop roaming, Shutting of roaming helps but i lost all signal/service. the VzW tech said its because my phone is still active on Sprint. The Tech said that my phone is unlocked and will work on VzW but only once I cancel my Sprint account. That test was with the Sprint Firmware.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] TwoBuells:
These are the file names from the VzW Firmware that I replaced with the rest of the Sprint Firmware.

I can’t get past the start menu. The error is “Seup keeps closing” I get the same error just flashing the stock VzW firmware.

I’ve tried downloading the VzW firmware from other sites/mirrors and get the same error msg after the firmware boots and I enter the setup.

Hi, i just bought my note 8 on another country, and when i brought it to mine and put another sim card it just says "network lock" . Is there any way to unlock it? It doesnt asks for any code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] paroys:
did u buy under telco? maybe sim 1 lock, but u can still use sim 2, normally sim 2 not lock.

Normally sim 1 lock by a telco or cant use for another telco network

Its from México, Telcel. It doesnt have dual SIM, its n950f.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Captain Droid:
A local shop can unlock it for some amount. Your phone is Network Locked/Region Locked. When I bought Note 4 from Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia), it happened to me. It was asking for Unlock code when I try to use it in my Home country. I paid some 16$ - 20$ for unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gonza47:
The weird thing is it doesnt ask for a code. Why could this be?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] udelgadochio:
I would like also to see if there is any way possible to unlock this phone N950F Mexico Telcel, I'm currently in Europe and when I changed the SIM only a network lock message appears but no option to input a code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Is it possible it's region locked (not sim locked)? Some UK models from Clove required a 5min local call to unlock before shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gonza47:
And is there anyway to unlock it if I have already travelled from the original country?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Not sure, to my knowledge the region lock applies to multiple countries within a defined area. As call from any of those countries should work. What is your carrier's country? Keep in mind it may not even be a region-lock issue, but is still worth checking into if other solutions aren't working.

Is there any way we can actually disable the notch, I mean literally make it black and move the status bar below the notch , just like on normal smartphones?. Will that be possible with some mod in the future,or does such a thing already exist?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] shailendra1993:
That is a nice solution but they would have to write code to disable the touch completely in that area and a lot of work will be involved in case an app tries to fill that area. Xiaomi doesn't likes to work, and they create more bugs with every fixes. I am not even mentioning how odd that will look, Xiaomi doesn't likes to work but they do care about the design and want their devices to be elegant. I have never never seen such a great looking cheap casing ever in my life, even Samsung can't achieve that.

I still don't see what the big deal is. You can see the icons if you slide down the notification bar. It's a little inconvenient but not at all frustrating or unacceptable. Sure they can fix that to some extent in the future through an update but it definitely is not a deal breaker. Using an IOS device for an Android User, That's Frustrating.:eek:

No notification on status bar due to the notch is realy frustrating. Hardly 4 days of usage, I miss those notification icons on status bar. Its like they skipped step 1 for achieving god_knows_what. I have literally started hating the phone in 4 days itself. Trust me, its beyond frustrating. Its like you went back to Symbian OS -_-. How can they miss out on such a basic and addictive utility?!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] wlk0:
Probably for the same reason they waste time to badly redesign Android's user interface instead of just using the standard Google layout.

At that point, that's the only reason I'm not buying this phone, until we see AOSP ports.

Would have been a no brainer if it was shipped with Android One instead of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ruvy:
Well according to me, this might be the best way to overcome the notification icons problem.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ShivaRungta:
I have exactly the same query. On checking several posts on internet, i have realized that 'Fullscreen' doesn't imply 'Include the notch' for notched phones. Am i wrong?

If there's only a way to include notch in all apps(playing video and games too) rather than excluding it. Seems like inclusion of notch as a part of screen for the complete UI in Poco would give a much better experience.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] FTPFreezer:
The missing notification icons because of the Notch also annoyed me. I figured out another solution for that: I only use Nova Launcher and this one (I guess only in the premium version) supports "Unread tags" on the app icons - like we know from the iPhone. You can select which apps should show these tags.

I'm looking for this as well, the status bar below the notch is an option included in google pixel 3. It should be a good work if anyone take that feature in pocophone
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] anirudh281998:
I find out one way to do so.

1. Install One Handed Mode: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.onehandedmode

2. Open and go to Settings, switch on "Manually Resize Window" and tap "Change Size".

3. Now, go to "Choose Size" and drag upper bar to top most. Tap Done.

4. On Home Activity of app, press "ON".

This will get you the status bar literally below the notch (although it is imperfect and doesn't look very good, its worth the try).

Maybe someone can make a more optimised app specifically for POCO.

NOTE: It looks more nice when "Hide Notch" is turn off in "Full screen display" under system settings.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Another way:

1. Install Screen Shift https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sagar.screenshift2&hl=en

2. Open and Enable Overscan % . Set the second option in Overscan % to 3.

3. Turn the toggle on the Title bar.

4. In /system/build.prop, change line ro.miui.notch=1 to ro.miui.notch=0

5. Reboot and repeat Step 3.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nloni:
I don't know what is wrong with my notch.. why is my time showing in half.. can't I remove the date and keep the time only?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] liog:
Did you try one of these ways? Can you take a screenshot?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] anirudh281998:
Yes both method worked. Second one worked better. I tested on MIUI 10 Global Beta (8.10.18)

I cant take screenshot because I removed the app (I am fine with notch) and too lazy to re install them.

I think these methods will work better with custom roms. (Since these apps are not made keeping MIUI in mind, but surely stock android in mind). For that, you would be required to skip edit build.prop step.

Would love if someone tried and post the results on custom roms.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exupery09:
Hello,

I'm really desperate right now and would highly appreciate your help.

The background is the following:

several months ago I've flashed Cyanogenmod 13 on my Note 3 (N9005) using TWRP (via Odin). The system has been working perfectly. In addition, I was using Xposed (Version 89) without any problems. However I decided to uninstall Xposed today using its uninstaller, but I only got a error message ( I don't remember its content, it was saying something like ' can't rename... /lib'.

Well, I then tried uninstalling via recovery which resulted in a bootloop.

I watched some YT-videos explaining how to bypass Xposed in TWRP, so I went to download mode and tried installing the TWRP with stock_kernel_twrp_1120-signed-for_Odin (the file I used the first time). This step failed. After restarting my phone it's saying: 'Firmware upgrade encountered issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again'.

I don't know what to do now. I simply want to install a working TWRP to save all my files and recover from the bootloop. What matters the most to me is to recover all data on the phone (videos, pictures, files etc. which unfortunately I haven't backed up).

I'm able to access download mode (home/power/volume down) but I don't know what to do to get a recovery/TWRP.

I'm not doing anything right to avoid further harm and wait for your advice. I'd be most grateful if you could help me.

Thanks in advance!

FOR THIS ONE ....

i think you need to pull battery out just after successfully flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0

when ODIN flashes recovery and says passed. pull out battery immediately. don't let the phone boot/start. wait 10-20 seconds. re-insert battery and try now booting in TWRP.

Hello guys, I'think I found a nice configuration for the settings of Snap Camera app (stock camera in LineageOS 15.1).

You'll get a lot more sharpness and details for your photos, even if some noise may occour (but in good light conditions the results are very good and crisp).

The main settings I found to be influent are:

PICTURE QUALITY -> Set to HIGH

SHARPNESS -> Set to LEVEL 6

DENOISE - > Set to OFF

"Auto HDR" doesn't work on Snap Camera for whyred, so I think it's better to leave it to OFF and select manual HDR from the Scene icon whenever you want/need it.

I show you all the settings down here: let me know what you think! ;)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
If you are on LineageOS 15.1 you can see by yourself: essentially with this configuration you get a boost in sharpness and definition, the only downside is that you obsviously get more noise on your photos...

In good light conditions you get excellent shots, but in low light conditions the noise is a bit predominant
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bbrigader:
Hello,

I've tried little comparaison between stock camera LineageOS 15.1 <> Mi A2 Ported camera for Whyred devices (installed with Magisk) :cool: : the second is far better in low light condition (both sharpness set to max, no HDR, quality max, 3200 ISO, no noise reduction). The LOS cam have too much red color noise, but a little more sharpness (to much and not natural to my opinion).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EdoNINJA93:
It depends on how you see noise and sharpness in photos: for me a boost in sharpness and noise is quite good for good-lighting photos, because it gives a lot more detail to the scene (even if could be unnatural, I know)

In low-lighting photos it's suggested to use a noise reducing filter, I agree :)

Hey all, I don't know what's causing this but since yesterday my Wizard (K-JAM) has been going crazy.

I just plugged it into my USB port a min ago to charge it (not sync) and a whole random bunch of apps opened, including IE where 'hhhhhhhhh' and 'eeeeee' were repeatedly put into the IE search box, as if the buttons were stuck (this'd happen if the keyboard was open or not)

SMS would open too, the phone panel would open and the phone would appear to be dialing random things. Including successfully dialing (by itself) "333".

The hard buttons and keyboard seem to become disabled when this happens too and will randomly start working again.

I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 TNT Official. Has anyone else experienced this kind of stuff?

This is a real mystery and driving me nuts. Is my phone possessed?! I may try flashing with a different ROM later, although TNT *has* been working ok for the few days I've had it on here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SMS92:
Ok this is really odd. I've found that when this happens and it calms down a bit (keyboard/buttons work again), I open Word Mobile and try and type.. the letters 'h' and 'e' don't work (the 2 letters that appear randomly when the phone goes crazy). I have no idea why as I can use these letters just fine when the phone's acting normal.

Right now I have Word Mobile open and the phone's typing "yyyyyyyyyyyyyy" by itself. Buttons/keyboard have stopped working but touchscreen is fine.

Gawd. :S

Edit: Wish I knew WTF was causing this. It continues even after a soft reset. This time I've rebooted it, it originally messed about but is now back to normal.
