Maybe this can help you:

Download and install 4G Only Network Mode from Google Play Store.

Modify advanced network convigoration by opening the secret settings:

Click on Open Secret Settings

Under Set Preffered Network Type, choose LTE ONLY

This will automatically force your phone to exclusively connect to the 4G LTE only network.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] -Protos:
I called them, they did something on their end so now calls start in 3g but go the 'H" after a few seconds.

Probably still not volte but an improvement.

My understanding is that volte calls have an "HD" for this phone
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
volte carrier check needs to be "disabled" btw

try switching to airplane mode and back. also make sure you have your sim in sim1!

what country/carrier are you on?

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

H is hspda, that's not volte...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] akpe:
Yes, you're right. When volte is enabled you should see an HD icon next to your signal strength icon. Just like this:

After your carrier enables volte you should reboot if you haven't already. Volte is used only with 4G, so after the reboot you should get the HD icon when you're connected on 4G. To test it out (or if you are still on 3G/H) do the following:

Press *#*#86583#*#* on dialer until carrier check is disabled. If it says enabled, just type it in again.

Then press *#*#4636#*#* on dialer to start the hidden menu. Go to the first tab, I believe it's called phone information, and scroll down where its says preferred network type. Note down the default value (it should restore on reboot and flight mode, but just in case) and select LTE (or 4G if it's called that) only. You will lose signal for a moment, and then you should be back running in 4G. Obviously, you need to be on a location with good 4G coverage.

Then, just make a call. If it gets through without dropping the data connection (4G symbol stays on), you're on volte. Go back to *#*#4636#*#* to restore your preferred network type, and enjoy :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] -Protos:
I tried everything posted so far but no luck.

I have a nexus 5x on with an identical sim on the same network/towers that shows me lte over the bars.

This phone only shows me 4G ..... is the phone capable of displaying lte ?

When selecting preferred network type lte only. It will drop the call.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] akpe:
LTE is 4G. Each phone uses different symbols, but it's the same. The fact that it drops the call probably means that volte is not enabled... weird. Have you contacted your carrier about it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Daha3ker:
https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-volte-t-mobile-yes-actually-t3869677

I just figured it out. Just follow the guide.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] -Protos:
Thanks for the post Daha3ker ..... I will see if anyone else tries it before giving it a go.

I am quite sure at this point its a network issue as it is also happening on my Nexus 5x (LTE then H during call)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] -Protos:
Confirmed it is a network issue. They are sending me ATT sims to try.

The tech support wasn't the brightest bulb, she kept trying to convince me I need to be on wifi to place an LTE call.

After some passive aggressive attempts to convince me she finally told me T-mobile does not support volte with them.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] youl_junior:
VoLTE depends of the carrier, it has to be enabled on his network equipments.

Some carriers enable it per phone line (they have to enable it for your line)

Moreover, some carriers restrict VoLTE for specific devices. Here in France, Orange enable VoLTE only for Apple and Samsung devices...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] akpe:
What if you just use a Samsung or Apple device to enable it? ;)

Here in Greece, Cosmote also enables VoLTE only for specific devices, Samsung, Apple and Huawei. The Mi A2 isn't one of them. But I managed to... side-enable it. I just inserted my sim card in a Huawei device and sent the text to enable it. They enabled it in my sim, and of course it still works after I moved the sim back to the A2 ;)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] youl_junior:
Orange say that it is available and automatically enabled on Apple devices, and on Samsung devices which were purchased in Orange stores. So I think there is something special in phone rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] -Protos:
Problem resolved. Was a carrier issue.

Required an ATT sim and add a new Access Point

* Note if using Consumer Cellular you will need the ATT sim for Volte.

Tmobile does not support Volte on CC as relayed by tech.

At instagram app when I watch a story that contains a text near the edge it is usually cut because of the screen ratio of the device. I looked up at same story in iPhone X and it's not cut down.

I looked the same story at Samsung Note 8 and Huawei Mate 20 and they are also cut down but reasonable.

Is there any solution for this?

I've noticed this too... stories seem to be cut off slightly. Does Instagram offer the "tap to fill screen" when you first install it? If so, maybe they wouldn't be cut off if we did not fill the screen.

Sounds like something that should be reported to instagram though....

Sorry if my search skills failed, but what little I found was for other phones or people trying to root/modify.

My phone was working fine, then the battery ran out of charge and now any time I turn it on I get "Verification failed. Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data." with a button at the bottom to reset. I have not rooted my phone (yet) or done anything to it aside from normal use. I have tried restarting, I have tried booting into recovery and wiping the cache, I have tried booting into safe mode (things pulled from other model guides). Nothing is working and I really don't want to lose everything on my phone. Halp!

you can talk directly to Samsung for that ... there is online chat available on their site!

**snorts** Tech support is 99.99% garbage. Their solution is to restart the phone and when that inevitably fails, send it in for repairs (ie, have them wipe the phone, which I can do myself).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tsam19:
Hello all

I installed the latest T585XXU4CRJ8 Oreo 8.1 update over Nougat 7 on the SM-T585. (BTU / UK)

Everything went well using Odin and the Oreo stock rom from the Updato website.

Cleared the cache and factory reset from recovery mode as normal practice. Booted up ok.

The problem is the device doesn't recognise the network sim card anymore (worked perfectly on Marshmallow & Nougat).

I've tried factory reset a few times, no difference.

Removed and reinserted the sim, even tried another sim.

Having checked 'about tablet > software details' , carrier is unknown and the IMEI has dissapeared !

I've tried to reinstall Nougat 7 and Marshmallow 6 back on the SM-T585 and Odin fails every time.

Tried 2 computers and 3 different usb cables.

Even trying to reinstall Oreo 8.1 again Odin fails!:rolleyes:

Theres no frp lock activated, and the oem unlock tab is checked, usb debugging enabled too.

I've read somewhere Samsung have done something to Oreos BootLoader file to stop people downgrading back to earlier software.

I know its early days, but if anyone can offer any solutions, it'd be appreciated.:good:

How to change the BL file version, so i can reinstall earlier stock roms back?

The Oreo update seems more hassle than its worth and I didnt expect the sim card to be unrecognised once updated, let alone being faced with the puzzle of how to downgrade the software.

Thanks for reading. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tsam19:
I think the problem was I used all four files (AP, BL,CP & CSC) from the Netherlands rom and that's whats screwed the device up!

As in no SIM card acknowledgement. I ran the IMEI number off the rear casing through a blacklist checking site and it came back clean. :)

After many attempts trying every Odin program variant possible and even tried mixing and matching files from different stock roms ( MM 6.0.1 , N7 and Oreo 8.1). To try and get the network carrier file installed, Odin refused to install anything.

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:754/firmware:1660

https://download.chainfire.eu/1069/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-gtaxllte-gtaxlltexx-smt585.zip

https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016.html

Tried the above routes to root to no avail, but Magisk worked by patching the boot.img file (which worked ok). Then tried Odin to install TWRP recovery, again from the site above, nothing but blue and fuzzy lines on the boot screen. The device wouldn't boot into the OS, had to go straight to download mode. Prior to that, I even installed the TWRP manager apk and connected to wifi to flash the TWRP.img from inside the OS environment and the same happened again with all variants of TWRP! Wouldn't boot, properly, no screen visuals, but lines......:(

Surely someone else on here has the same device (BTU UK) SM T585 that has a working TWRP recovery?

After many hours, I couldn't get Odin to play ball , so the only option left was to try the route of root, twrp recovery then installing a custom rom from twrp.

(https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-ultra-lean-rom-galaxy-tab-10-1-2016-t3467942)

But it's a no go as TWRP wouldn't install properly, I'm totally miffed by the damage the software has done.

Surely just reflashing the CP file should have reinstated the network facility, but it hasn't.

The last resort is for me to wait until Samsung actually release the UK version of Oreo 8.1 and see if I can get the sim card working again.

Moral of the story is wait until a UK version of the update is released, and even then you have to question is it worth it, if Samsung are making bootloader files so no downgrades are possible, nor allowing any modifications.

Hopefully this info may help others out who are thinking of upgrading or having similar issues.

Cheers for reading :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Domenico F:
I had the same problem, went from Lineage 14.1 to Oreo stock rom (the flashable one you can find on this site, i flashed also the Bootloader/modem file in the thread). No imei, no baseband. Returned back to lineage and got back imei and baseband, but after my screen was going to sleep (after the regular 1 min) I had only black screen and vertical red lines. I flashed then Resurrection Remix 6.2, Lineage 15, Lineage 16, always the same problem. Then I used Odin and the original firmware of Nougat from SamMobile, at the first attempt i flashed only the AP file. I turned to have the same problem, but this time the lines were white. I flashed all the 4 files again with Odin, problem solved and back to Lineage 14.1 (the only custom rom were everything works)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tsam19:
Domenico F.

What version of TWRP have you installed for the T585 and from what site?

Also what root method did you use?

I have tried all available and all seem corrupt i.e don't install properly, no proper boot up with onscreen options. Just fuzzy lines.

Again root i've tried many, but don't work with this Oreo 8.1., even Magisk is problematic.

I think its pretty sad of Samsung sending out poor quality updates for us to use. Their heading the same way as Apple and the way they control customers.

If I could go back to a custom MM or Nougat, I would. But TWRP / ROOT are an issue. i.e no TWRP no custom rom!

If anyones thinking of updating and reading this topic, stay clear of the Oreo 8.1 update for the SM T585. Once installed theres no turning back.....so it seems

Thanks for replying.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Domenico F:
just flash the nougat firmware from SamMobile. You have to flash all the 4 files in the zip you are going to download. AP, CSC, etc. Once you have your tablet completely stock you can install again TWRP and flash whatever CUSTOM rom you want.

I easily rooted the phone with odin flashing only the TWRP in AP box (twrp taken from this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78145080&postcount=160) avoid the auto-reboot. You have to put the tab in DL mode, connect it to pc, start odin flash the twrp in AP file e unselect Auto-reboot. As soon as the process is done you have to log in recovery mode at the first boot with home + power + vol up and flash dm-verity. I rooted with Magisk without any problem just flashing the v17.3. Now i' m back to nougat (from Oreo) and i can install whatever custom rom i want. But honestly the only one fully working is Lineage 14.1. Resurrection remix 6.2 has problem with camera and gps don't lock. Same for Oreo version. Tried Pie, same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tsam19:
Domenico F

Thanks for the info.

I tried to install MM 6.01 & Nougat 7 stock rom and they wouldn't install, no matter what I did. ( see Odin pictures )

The last chance was to try Oreo 8.1 again and I did manage to reflash the 'Netherlands stock Oreo 8.1 rom' (after 10 hours!) using all four files (AP,BL,CP,CSC).

I then reset the device a couple of times via stock recovery. Took the OEM lock off, theres no FRP lock either. Enabled developer mode > debug mode (all the usual setting changes prior to rooting / twrp install).

At this point the imei and sim card network ARE recognised and work on the device as normal.

HOWEVER I found once I rooted by any genuine means > Magisk v16 (patched boot img taken from stock rom) and also the CF gtaxlltex sm t585 auto root method.

And when the device booted back up, the 'imei and sim card' WERE NOT usable, nor recognised, no network...........I also noticed BusyBox wouldn't install at all, message about integrity of root.

Adaway and Lucky Patcher recognised root.

I also then tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0 -3.2.3.0 from many locations and again, none of them worked at all. Just blue lines, fuzzy screen etc. On some occasions Odin wouldn't even process the files.:confused:

I include pictures of the files I used.

Its evident to me that I can use the device normally i.e sim card , make calls, data etc if I don't attempt to install root / twrp recovery.

So no root , no twrp , then no custom rom usable or installable. It sounds like Samsung are out to stop custom software on their products.

If the Netherlands stock rom 'BL' (boot loader) file is encrypted with this new binary v3 or v4 to stop OS modifications. I wouldn't recommend using it when flashing the new Oreo 8.1 rom or future new releases.

The best way is to just use the AP file ONLY and overlap Nougat 7 or MM 6. And because you've kept your original BL from earlier stock roms, it may be possible to downgrade back to MM or Nougat if need be.

Once the latest new Oreo / Pie 'BL files' are used in the Odin flashing process, it causes big problems.

Hopefully, maybe someone smart enough can find away to decipher these new BL files and offer a replacement method. which will allow software downgrades and modifications :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Domenico F:
Honestly i think this run for Oreo it's not really worth. I said you what I did and now i have no problems. I'm not in hurry to use Oreo (as stock rom). I think Lineage 14.1 is the most stable and fastest rom i tried till now, and most of all everything is working. I think i'll give a try via Odin to the official stock rom when it will be available for download (i live in Germany) but sadly I don't use most of the Samsung bloatware installed by default.

WRP Oreo 8.1 on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (T585)

Then I've tried

twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t585_29918 which gives only stripes when booting into recovery

Do I have to flash the stock boot/recovery before flashing this one,

or this is broken, as well.

Hope this helps.

So, as I was trying to search for my Galaxy Tab A6 (SM-T585) for Deodexed Stock ROM, I stumbled upon this thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/themes/mod-twrp-odin-t3650215 just follow the instructions to fully flash Oreo. By the way when flashing Root, I would recommend Magisk Beta https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

it does not damage the IMEI at all(Thread here, read the comment:https: //xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) . The TWRP, I think we should leave it be, don't flash an update for the TWRP.

Thanks. Hope this helps.

Hello

I recently purchased the PR78OLO-s and i love it. Thank you for such a beautiful product.

I have used it for a few days and i have run into a small issue.

Sometimes the unit will not start on power on. Even holding the power doesn't work.

>

I will have to unplug the iso cable and plug it again then it will work.

Why does it do that?

Xtron tells me to Cut the ACC cable from the canbus and use the ACC cable from the ISO instead, and connect that to the positive end on the cigarette plug.

But in my head i think that sound weird. It works fine for a day or two. Then all of a sudden it won't turn on at ignition. Have to unplug the ISO and plug again.

Another vote for PointUI. It is extremely usable out-of-the-box with few customization but, heck, it looks so good, you either love it and don't really want to change much or you completely hate it and uninstall it. It can replace the Windows Taskbar as well but I personally prefer Wisbar Advance. Remember, if you use FTouchFlo or FTouchSL (for finger scrolling), add PointUI exe file (Home.exe) into the exception list or you won't be able to scroll in PointUI. And take care not to launch 2 instances of PointUI or it likely will crash. A Mortscript will prevent that.

This is PointUI

This is Wisbar Advance with Resco Keyboard

PointUI won't attract that much attention as with SPB or Ultimate Launcher because it doesn't have much customization to it. Even if someone starts a thread about it, it will just die off quickly because

1. It's better to get support/brag on the official PointUI forum

2. If you can't customize that much and support is better acquired elsewhere then what else is there to talk about in "Development and Hacking"?

And whatever I have just said is meant to be a compliment. I can't emphasize more that it has smooth animation, beautiful interface,

good layout and functionalities

out of the box

. It's not about customization, it's about being able to use something quickly straight away.
