[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nerys71:
Any ideas? I need to be able to start and stop video recording on my lg v20. I am getting soft quality video from the front facing camera so i need to use the primary camera.

I have a hdmi lcd panel and slimport to hdmi on the way but now i wont be able to see and use the phones touch panel any longer.

So i need a way to start and stop video recording.

Ideally be able to switch between wide and narrow sensors as well but lacking that is ok.

I found a bt remote on amazon with dedicated photo and video buttons but it does not work. Only for photos not video.

Suggestions?

Teamviewer or something similar? Wireless mouse?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nerys71:
Screen sharing would be perfect but 3rd party software Solutions are horrible with way too much lag to be useful I already tried :) wireless mouse doesn't work because there's no way to see the screen to know what I'm clicking on unless... The wireless mouse cursor shows up in the HDMI screen then that might work a little cumbersome but it might work can I plug a USB C Hub and still use the slimport HDMI out? Although I could use a Bluetooth mouse... I will have to try that

Hello, I would like to share my progress with getting android to run on my Samsung Galaxy Book2. It is shipped with Windows-on-ARM. But I would rather have android on it. This would be a new project for the XDA forums. Can someone help me by creating the appropriate channels/projects so I can respect the community guidelines.

Thank you

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Many of you have seen the multiple threads on multiple forums about the call quality issues with the Pixel 3 and 3XL, so I won't dig into that any further. Instead, I am asking if

those who have issues

can list the signal strength as reported by your device in the area where the call issues occur?

For example, my wife and I only had call issues at our house, where both of our devices registered -115 dBm of signal strength. This was not a problem for our Pixel 2's. When calling from my job, the issue was far less frequent and the signal strength is approximately -100 dBm. Finally, we received a signal booster from our carrier for the house and the call issues went away completely, measuring -80 dBm.

Based on this, I can only assume the Pixel 3's hardware is not holding on to signals as well as other phones and I need your help determining if the problems go away above a certain signal strength threshold.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open the stock phone dialer app

2. Enter the test menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#*

3. Select "Phone Information"

4. Find the "Signal Strength" line and report the value you see.

Once again, please only list yours from an area where you experience consistent call quality issues.

I have -100dbm, 40asu and haven't had issues. I might have once.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, we know not everyone has the issue. I'm asking that only people who do have the issue to report their signal strength in the area where the issue occurs most frequently. No need to report if you don't have issues at that won't help us find a pattern.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] woahnelly:
I don't make or receive a huge amount of calls. But have had several reports of poor quality, maybe half the time, in my dining room..

From this location currently it reports the following.

-107 dBm 33asu..

I will test this again directly after a next poor quality call for comparison. Currently on the hunt for a new job, thus expecting a greater volume of calls going forward so would be great to get to the bottom of this.

For reference I use a case, but have not tried any of the other suggestions mentioned elsewhere on xda
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
Just seems to me that it would be good to know at what threshold there isn't a problem. If you're collecting data it's better to get more than less. It's hard to go back if down the road your theory changes based on the data you're seeing. Believe me, I've been down that road before.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Yeah, i see what you're saying, but if you're not having any issues ever, then your device only skews the data. But if your device works properly at x dbm but doesn't at y dbm, then that would be great to know!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnnyRebel:
-113 dBm 4G (Telus, Ontario Canada @ home) static, background interference

-62 dBm 3G (Telus, Ontario Canada @ home) no issues

That was taking shortly before I sent my Pixel 3 in for RMA on Jan. 3

Also note Pixel (2016) same location no issues

-112 dBm 4G
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Interesting. I'm on Bell and turned off VoLTE (Enhanced LTE services) and I think that static, background interference is gone. I already RMA'd my Pixel 3 for this issue and the second one I got (brand new in box) is exactly the same.

I've never dropped a call. This is my only issue.

-115 dBm 25 asu
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brazoue:
On Koodo (Canada). -101dBm 37aus.

x2 Pixel 3 in the household, both having same issues. Previous phones were iPhones 6s Plus and 7 Plus with no issues while making calls from home
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnnyRebel:
Did it come back yet? I tried disabling that on mine and the quality improved a bit but I could still notice the static. 3G was the only solid workaround I found.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] deblas66:
Wife's phone has had this problem on 3 devices now. Pixel 3 AT&T based in NY.

-92 dBm 48 asu
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Seems to be fine now yes. Switching that off does force calls to use 3G. You can see it, the LTE will drop to 3G when call is made.

It's a dumb issue but the fact that this works it's probably software related or maybe something with VoLTE and our carriers.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

Have you tried turning off Enhanced 4G LTE mode? Fixed it for me. Wondering if it does for your wife. If that's the case the issue might be software related.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] deblas66:
I haven't tried that because I've been reading on the product forums and people that have tried that reported the problem coming back.

I can't think of a scenario where this ISN'T software related. I've had the issue on 3 phones now and my wife says it only is affected during speakerphone and not regular phone to ear calling.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnnyRebel:
Awesome. I was fighting with multiple issues at once. I had a bad cable transfer and disabled "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" and noticed an improvement but had a magnitude of other issues. When I did a factory reset and manually transfered with no cable I just disabled 4g. Looks like I should of just disablied "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" again FTW. Thanks, that's by far the best workaround.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Cool yeah you helped me realize it only happens on VoLTE. I've contacted Google to open a ticket about this. I'll update here if anything happens. I want them to capture logs.

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] incaroads:
right now: -111 dBm 28 asu

The numbers seem to fluctuate in real time. However, I have no idea what any of this means! Anyone care to explain? I found a link to this thread on another forum and created an account here in hopes that my datapoint is useful. I'm having serious issues with call quality on my Pixel 3 XL and would love to know why. I'm on Google Fi.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Are you dropping calls?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Do each of you experience dropped calls?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] misternation:
Yes I do :)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brazoue:
115dBm 25asu. Same spot as my 1st post (at home in my dinning room).

I don't drop calls at home as I have WiFi calls enable but the reception is still spotty (I'm assuming the phone is bouncing between LTE/3G and WiFi).

111dBm 29asu. In my living room.

Interestingly enough, I have check at work and signal seems to fluctuate between 80&90dBm. I never heard someone say "I can't hear you" or "You're breaking up" while using my phone at work (up to now).
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
This is similar to my experience. Anytime the strength is weaker than approximately -100dBm, then problems seem more frequent.

Remember, the higher the number, the lower the signal strength.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pacificwing:
I'm questioning the diagnostic value of this thread. Checking signal quality makes a pretty broad assumption that the call quality issues are related to signal strength. An assumption that is based on two peoples anecdotal experience, and doesn't really match up with the accounts of many people complaining about this..

Based on my experience, I don't see it as being signal related. But then, everyone's experience seems to be different from the next persons. If it was signal related, you would think the problem would manifest in two directions. Most people are reporting that only the outbound audio is cutting out. It is also very possible (given Google's crappy track record when it comes to QA) that there are multiple defects and problems manifesting in the design.

Would it not be more prudent to create an entire list of data to collect? In addition to signal quality, I would propose asking for software versions, firmware versions, build revision numbers, model numbers (3 vs 3XL), regional information, app versions, carrier etc?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] serty4011:
Has anyone tried getting a new sim card from their carrier? Any chance this could remedy the issue?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, that is the proper way to track the issue and search for trends in the data. But there is also a pattern starting to appear where those who have these issues are reporting weaker signals. As I've stated before, all of my wife's call problems went away after we received a signal booster at our house, but reappeared when calling from areas with weaker signal strength. That's why I want to see if others have the same experience.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] uno78:
110 dBm, 28 asu; in kitchen at my house.

In Norway, on Telenor network.

Impossible to talk in this location, somewhat better on other side of the house. No issues outdoors.

seems very place sensitive, so support this thread. But i'm hugely unhappy with the general quality of such a high end high cost item. I will not buy next generation untill a few months pass so I can check things like this. Very poor by Google this.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
What is the signal strength outside your house when the phone works best?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] moldovanos:
I noticed things get good, when the WiFi is turned off.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Legendhidde:
I have noticed I never have the problem when I'm not at home. It never happens anywhere else, but as soon as I come home it just breaks again.

So it may have to do with the particular cellular tower that I am on.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] uno78:
Apologies for late reply, but outside I get something like 73 dBm and 67 asu... A lot of people say it sounds distorted when at good areas in my house, and some calls have a bad delay from me to the receiver. It's a **** phone.

Hopefully it's sooner then later, but still that's great news. I received my RMA replacement a couple of weeks ago and it still has the exact same issue. On a bright note though it was brand new in box (factory sealed), with the bootloader unlocked. Regardless "advanced LTE Mode" disabled is still working like a champ, thanks again!

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
With the exception of one response, I'm seeing most people stating signal strengths below -100 dBm (ish) is when they have call issues. Don't forget, higher numbers = lower signal strength. Of course, this isn't definitive, but it might be a good place for google to start looking for fixes.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Super-Veloce:
Anyone already send Pixel 3 in for repair, with succes?

Or got replacement without issues?

I'm thinking about to send in for repair, but will take about 2 weeks to get my phone back (or new one)

It'll occurs only in my bed room.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Replacement is likely the only remedy at this point. They don't know what they problem is so Google cannot repair it. My wife had hers replaced and that worked for her. Mine never had the issue.

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] canadianclub:
I have this issue too, updated to the Android Q beta in hopes this would stop it from happening - but it is still happening.

I can hear everyone perfectly well but they say I am breaking up or sometimes I hear terrible interference and the call is dropped. Tried all the troubleshooting steps.

One thing is I noticed if I am using hands free (car's bluetooth or the pixel headphones) the issue never occurs (so far). I am thinking the antenna might be interfered with while it's in my hand. Can everyone try using hands free solutions while not holding the phone and see if it persists?

Thanks

Semi-related question. I'm on Project Fi. When I check the Phone Info "wifi calling provisioned" appears to be off and greyed out. When I check Settings it's enabled. My wifi signal is very strong, I'm sitting about 10 ft from the router. Not sure how to interpret that "provisioned" status. Also, wifi calling could theoretically mess up the stats from your cell signal strength data.

If you're in an area with poor signal and you're using VoLTE the static noise/buzzing will occur . It's been pinpointed as a baseband/kernel issue the version on the 3/3XL's are incompatible with certain towers. In areas with good signal the buzzing/static won't be there over cell. If you're in an area with poor/mediocre service turn off VoLTE and to make calls on 3G and there will be no buzzing. Sadly the issue still persists with WiFi calling though.
