I too am on T-Mo and live in Chicago. Voice sounds great. Same experience with data - the phone shows "4G" but I am getting 3G speeds. I've run Speedtest numerous ties, and I'm consistently getting 10 Mbps down, and a few up. Absolutely adequate for my needs (Spotify, email, etc.). In fact, Spotify runs so much faster than my previous phone, that it is a huge improvement for me. So, I've had the same experience, and for me, as well, 3G is not an issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbagrows:
My Speedtest results are attached. There's some variance, but about 10 Mbps down on 3G. Of note, the Wifi results are crazy, and easily 2x faster than my previously phone (LG V20) on the same exact network. In my experience, at both home and work, the Wifi on the F1 is ridiculously good.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I agree on the WiFi. I have FIOS gig service I'm getting 400 MB down and 450 up at home on WiFI. with the F1. Better than my S9+ or OnePlus 6
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I'm very impressed by the F1. More so than I thought. Just waiting for my unlock code. I have not run into an app yet that has given me an issue. I'll be testing Android Auto later today when I get home. This is truly a nice phone at an amazing price. While no 4G is disappointing, I'm wondering if the band is there, just not turned on. Won't be the first time we have seen that.

Come on development! :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbagrows:
Thanks for the follow-up. Also, although a little off topic, I'm interested in hearing about your experience with Android Auto. For me, "Ok Google" isn't currently working. I understand that's a Google issue, not a problem with the F1 (I hope). Haven't been able to text in the car, like I usually do, so I'm anxiously awaiting a fix for that!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
My pocophone will not connect to T-Mobile. I have the correct APN settings and it does not connect. I'm surprised you guys are seeing connectivity. I'm in the new york area

Compared to my Mi A1 or Redmi 4X I don't get a LTE symbol here in austria (three), speed is probably mediocre.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbagrows:
Weird. Have you reset the phone with the SIM in? Selected USA as country?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
I've done everything. I even unlocked the boot loader and still nothing. I downloaded the LTE discovery app and it will connect for 2 minutes then drop. I think it's a software issue. I'm on 9.6 build
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kbagrows:
So you can't get 2G or 3G? No TMo connectivity at all? Sorry for all the questions - I have a trip to NYC in December, and want to know if I'm going to have a problem!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
I get 0 connectivity. No 2g or 3g. Nothing
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I assume the SIM works in another phone? If not, could just be a bad SIM. If not, maybe you got a bum phone. I'm 60 miles from NYC and only LTE is not working.

It will be another day before I can test Android Auto. Wife has that car and working late tonight.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
My sim card is fine. It works just fine with my other phones including my new Xiaomi Mi max 3. I'm getting LTE connection. This is why I don't understand why this pocophone won't connect.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace42:
T-Mobile has Band 5 in limited markets (which F1 includes). 2, 4, and 12 are prevalent in NY. My current phone has B5 and I've never seen it connect to that band personally.

As for OP. 4G is probably HSPA (3G) but that's very slow. Can you use Network Signal Guru to confirm signal type?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
My phone is not rooted so network signal guru doesn't work. I did however install LTE discovery and that was a failure. The app didn't work because I wasn't connected to T-Mobile network

Same here. Got it yesterday and requested unlock code last night.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
The phone should already be unlocked.....
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
The phone itself comes unlocked from a carrier perspective but the boot-loader is locked and a request must be made to get it unlocked. At least for me and others.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goldeneye185:
I unlocked my bootloader by download mui tools. 1st attempt I had to wait 72 hours. After that on my 2nd attempt the bootloader unlocked. I haven't found a official link for mui 10 beta to download. I think it's the ROM that's currently installed is preventing the connection to T-mobile

I'm installing the PocoPhone F1 MIUI 10 Developer ROM which was just released. I'll report back

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

MIUI 10 Global 8.9.13 installed and still no connectivity. I don't know what else I can do other than to sell this phone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I was not going to try again for fear they would extend the time. I know they supposedly stopped the practice of making folks wait 360 or 720 hours but I can wait the 3 days.

Android Auto test results will be posted later this evening.

It's possible the bands may be present and disabled. We'll likely have to wait until we get some serious development going. If you must have data, I agree that you're better off selling it. If you paid MSRP you can likely make your money back. Most sellers are still shipping from HK so a US seller will likely get a quick sale.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] munchy_cool:
I have been avoiding commenting on this thread, as I dont own the device but you dont need to wait for active development to try and enable bands. All you need is to unlock the bootloader, root it and then try to unlock the bands via QPST.

Make sure you have backed up your efs partition. I did create a thread in Q&A section to see if someone wanted to give it a shot.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
Thanks for the info. I'll try it as soon as I get my boot-loader unlocked.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I tested Android Auto and its a mixed bag. The head unit sees the phone and Android Auto launches. The screen is not registering touches in most cases. Interesting, Google assistant works and will launch audio apps and Waze. The screen gets funky at times and the screen will randomly go black and the app shuts down.

The verdict is its basically unusable for daily use.

Oh geesh. Thanks for the follow up. Not sounding promising re AA.

If you're using Magisk just flag play store in magisk hide, clean play store data and cache and reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pauaxe:
Hello, seems things have become quite complicated and I really need some clarifications, here are my questions.

1 When knox was tripped a yellow triangle used to appear on boot, has this finally stopped? Has something else taken it's place (either visual or sound)?

2 Is a custom kernel still necessary because of Real-time Kernel Protection or does TWRP and no-verity patch take care of this too (I am using August 1 stock kernel)?

^ link: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development/twrp-exynos-t3763464

Does this patch also include OEM unlock fix from dr.ketan? https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/guide-root-s9-oem-fix-t3763974

3 Google started banning non certified devices from using gapps (including google play) unless they are registered here: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

Will flashing TWRP, the above patches and Magisk cause this or will the device appear as certified? If it doesn't will a custom kernel avoid this? I'd like to be able to

integrate updated versions of system apps into the system partition so there will only be one copy of the app on device (the updated), plus add remove system apps,

will this cause problems with device certification and or Safety Net even if I use the patches? Will this also happen if I use a custom kernel? I want to keep my device as

stock as possible btw.

4 How should I update to newest firmware when it comes out? Flash the new firmware using Odin with home csc then flash all over again TWRP, the patches and Magisk? [and custom kernel if inevitable]

If so how can I tell whether the patches will work or not on the new firmware? Can an updated bootloader or a new update in general make TWRP fail to flash in Odin?

If frp comes back due to the new firmware, in conjuction with the gapps certification issue and because the phone may not work with the new update I will format or restore, will I be locked out of the

device unless I get to pc and register it to google (using adb to get the info) to pass the setup or flash stock again?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pauaxe:
I bump!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pauaxe:
Surely there are people here who can answer at least some of the questions. Anyone who is rooted could at least answer question 1...

Edit: I decided since I am going to root in the end anyway might as well just do it, so I'll answer most of my own questions now in case someone else wants to know before root.

1 there are no more warnings (Samsung stopped putting the yellow triangle on boot screen to indicate tripped knox and nothing else took it's place). The only indicator is waranty void in download mode.

2,3,4 I decided to use SoLdieR9312s rom(which is complete stock rom incl stock kernel(or another) with extras like magisk included). The stock kernel from this rom is definitely cracked properly(for RKP protection), the device is certified in google play and I can change system apps as well without breaking it along with safety net.

It is still unknown to me whether or not the patches take care of this, I just assumed that they do not just to be safe.

Updates can be obtained from custom rom page :

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/sam...g96xf-fd-n-stock-rom-soldier9312-1-0-t3771346

and flashed with TWRP. This guarantees for uodates that frp will remain dead and kernel will remain patched I believe.

Hello,

I have seen that the question was already asked, but the question dated from one year so may be there will be new solutions :

Can we put the cooked rom in a Device Emulator?

Thanks in advance

Guillaume
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I don't think so, however it might be possible. The problem with it is that the emulated hardware will be different to that of a device, and so the ROM would have to be specifically for it.

I'll try and dump the ROM image, and see whether it is similar to other ROMs...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigix1:
Hum...interesting question....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
It appears that the OS is not the same format as any other ROM (it can't be dumped properly) and so I don't think it could be rebuilt with different parts...

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Hello. I bought the Ceramic 128/6GB Mi 6 from GearBest (China model) in January or February. For the first several months I don't think I have noticed any issues with the screen, but since ~3 months ago it started exhibiting image retention which occurs more easily as the phone ages.

It is so far temporary and goes away after the screen rests for 15 or so minutes. But it is very annoying and might end up as permanent damage at some point.

I couldn't find this being reported as an issue with the Mi 6, so I'm trying to figure what's up. I have the "lgd fhd cmd incell dsi panel" display, so perhaps most Mi 6 have another which doesn't suffer from this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] AWESOME1092387456:
It is a hardware issue with you display which is manufactured by LG, you should contact your seller for a free replacement or refund, you should look for a display with this "singature" "jdi fhd cmd incell dsi panel", which is the "fixed" one.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
But is it known that all phones with the LG panel have this issue? My brother has the JDI and indeed he doesn't see any screen issues.

The question is also whether all of the Ceramic China version Mi 6 have the LG panel? I bought it from GearBest through a coupon that made it cheaper than another option which was only 64GB. I thought perhaps it's because the 64GB is an actual global model vs the Chinese ones they simply flashed with Global ROM, but perhaps it's also that the screens are different and these ones have an issue?

And I doubt GearBest would give me any sort of refund, especially after 8 months.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] AWESOME1092387456:
This a thread the mentions it http://en.miui.com/thread-2248189-1-1.html

But there is another thread that i can't seem to find (in en.miui.com i read it there) that properly explains this
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
I contacted GearBest and they asked to provide pictures of the issue and my phone's IMEI. Should I give them that? Second, they want the item number from my phone's packaging... I probably threw that away months ago.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] AWESOME1092387456:
To be honest, I don't know, probably you should, but then again in a not 100% certain. If you can find a reasonably expensive screen replacement go with it ( if all else doesn't work). I am really sorry that I can't help you, my MI 6 is the global 6/64gb variant which is rocking the "jdi" panel, only the first phones of the production line had that issue as they used the "lgd" panel (as far as I have read online).
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Frankly, I'm just trying to snap a photo showing the effect clearly, but it doesn't always happen very strongly or as quickly. Perhaps it's more specific color patterns that cause retention.

But I don't think I'll pay for panel replacement. It will probably be too expensive versus the cost of a new Xiaomi. I hope GearBest could offer some sort of compensation, but probably not.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
Shouldn't be any harm giving them the IMEI if they're the ones that sold you the phone. They probably store a log of all the IMEI numbers when they get the phones so they know which ones are theirs.

Same as any other seller would do when selling the phone so they know if they need to honour warranty or not.

Now... Whether they actually bother to help you is another question....

I'm skeptical that they will because you mentioned the coupon that made your ceramic model cheaper than the basic 64gb model. It seems to me they made this deal to get rid of bad stock which is the dodgy screens. So by using the coupon hopefully you havent entered some unspoken contract to just deal with the problem....

Talk it through with them and don't send the phone until you have written confirmation that they will either replace it or have it fixed BY XIAOMI under warranty (they have warranty from when they purchased the device).

If you never get the phone back you will have all the evidence you need to claim a refund via your payment method.

Just be smart and protect yourself from BS basically.

I never used gearbest but they seem a bit hit or miss on customer support. Some people get replacements or warranty and some people get nothing.

I wish you the best with this annoying issue and you are right it might be worth just selling the phone at a loss with the issue and getting a new model.

If the issue annoys you don't bother struggling with the phone. You have to be happy with your personal device :)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Well, I replied with more info and photos to the support ticket they opened for me, let's hope they'll be useful.

These are 3 photos I provided as example, though while writing my response I saw an even worse ghost image was formed all through the sides of the screen (but I didn't bother snapping that as well). I'm not sure what color patterns cause this most, as when I tried making the notification icons retain an image on purpose yesterday it barely had any effect.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
Ouch that is bad.

They will be able to see the problem so don't worry about that.

Fingers crossed!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Heh, and as I said what went with the screen after writing the support ticket information was even worse with the entirety of the sides getting colors and line marks.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
OK, they returned with a couple of solutions.

1. Send the phone back to Hong Kong (shipping non-refundable) and they'll try to fix it. If they can't, they will send me a refurbished one.

2. Get $40 refund to GB wallet + 1 GB point for every $1 (that's mere 80 cents).

3. Get $40 refund to PayPal.

Is any of the options worth it? Paying for shipping it back while possibly getting a refurbished (not new) one instead doesn't sound too good. $40 refund out of a $390 purchase is not that much when I major component is partially malfunctioning.

Is there any chance I can request a larger refund? I might be able to use it for a local screen fix instead, or perhaps just leave it as is. I'm afraid it would get worse, but I don't think the phone won't be usable for at least another year, so it might be enough until I could be looking at new phones anyway.

EDIT: Here are two photos I added to my latest reply to GearBest just now.

I actually changed the final wording I sent them to be more serious about getting more money, perhaps I should have taken the photos afterwards lol
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
It's fine to barter for a better deal. They're a business they want to make the maximum profit. Finding the middle ground will take some time. They won't offer you the best price immediately.

Try negotiating a bit more.

Obviously don't say anything now but you have some leverage which is "I bought this from gearbest. This is what I got". They already have a bit of a meh reputation (I did look into them when choosing the phone and went with a local redistributer).

You should say you want them to just refund enough to cover the screen replacement which can be $xx amount. You'll need to shop around and show them the prices for you to do that locally.

They can then offer to cover some of your postage or something if they're adament that the device goes back to HK.

A refurbished device will be what you get back either way. Yours will be refurbished after they change the screen and digitiser, whatever they send you will be refurbished either way. So it might not be the worst option.

If postage is ridiculous you might just need to write off the phone and please don't buy anything else from gearbest :p

On a side note you could contact Xiaomi directly and ask if they have any kind of replacement options for the affected screens. You'll still need to go via Gearbest but if you can show them xiaomis option they might agree to take the phone to Xiaomi as your proxy (they are the original buyer).
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
Well, they said they can do $80 at most as I have been using the product for more than 45 days. The main point is whether they already knew this specific phone had the panel known to be problematic. They probably knew, but I'm not sure I can "prove it" to make them agree for even more money, so I said yes to the $80. Let's just hope the phone would be at least usable until I'm looking for a new one anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] yoghibawono:
My mi5 also has image retention (LGD panel).

If you use custom rom with live display you can fix it by setting the RGB to 90%.

If you use custom kernel with KCAL, it is also possible.

If you use non root stock MIUI you can use third party app that controls the RGB
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] TLxda-d:
You mean setting all three to 90%? Wouldn't that just make the brightness 90% (against whatever the phone's usual brightness is?).

And what's up with LG and their sh*tty hardware?
