solving the problem for 100EU

You can solve the problem really easy... By moving somewhere else... Actually I moved from the 2nd floor to the 8th and it helped :-) OK seriously now: I'm using RADIO version 1.64.08.21, Protocol version: 25.74.40.02H, WM 6.1 19209.1.0.2, HARD SPL v2 and 3G is OFF and everything works well and the signal strength is full of course.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gouroufab:
try to disable the 3G functionnality (if you don't need it of course). My signal strength is always high for me since I disabled it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] reyjabs:
Re-flash original ROM, re-flash original SPL, then, Hard reset.:D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] qoka:
the signal doesnt change only because of software, maybe the scale changed...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] gishan114:
i tried flashing original rom and spl no good news! how can i disable 3G????
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] elohssanarerauoy:
where can I get original rom and spl?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Rroet:
another thing might work as well.

switch your phone settings from AUTO to hard GSM instead of WCDMA this might help a bit as well.

I did the easy route: go back and claimed a new phone because the reception on this phone is bad.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pananza:
Changing from Auto to GSM on the phone band settings I went from 2 to 4 bars on the signal. Makes me think that the issue is only visual and that there is no real change in signal strength.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2167523&postcount=122

Right now I see 2 people who are flashing the Russian ROM and report that after that the signal strength is normal again? One guy with 2 posts, another with 3 posts... this is currently not making me comfortable to try it myself unless someone with a longer presence on this forum is confirming that it works.

I saw another guy who said he has nothing to lose and wants to try it... I'll wait and see his results... maybe it really works?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pafimal:
i vote for this!!!:cool:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ro_axis:
The signal quality varies much from 3G to GSM. All depends on the network coverage. In the same spot you can have good GSM signal and bad 3G coverage. Roughly speaking, there are 2 antennas on the same network cell: 1 for GSM and another for 3G. Theoretically, the best coverage is achieved by GSM, since it was the first protocol used, and the network opperator added 3G later.

On the end look for call quality, not number of bars ...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olioaglio:
Seems, you can save your 100 Euros :D and just flash this

Murata Radio Rom which was descovered as fixing the issue

over in the Reception issue poll thread.

you could try this russian radio rom. it helped many users who had the same problem. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=388823

Just download the rom, flash it (it is in russian), then flash any rom you want without a radio and it should work.

this actually worked for me! from 2 to 4 bars. Excellent!

@gishan

first, enjoy your strong reception polaris, mate :D

I think the best idea to show your contribution would be donating

some Euros to the

xda-developers

for making this all

possible by giving us this REALLY great forum!!

Donation Link:

http://xdaforums.com/donations.php

Olioaglio
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prank1:
Yes this really is a great forum, it has helped so many people with their problems with their expensive devices, like it did with yours today.

However I recommend you donate (out of the 100 euros) a bit of the money to the maker of the ROM that helped you, and the majority of the money to XDA Developers (say, 25 euros to the maker of the ROM and 75 euros to XDA Developers).

XDA Developers will only work if people like the maker of the ROM contribute to it, so it seems fair to share the wealth.

Its good to see that you are sticking to your promise, a while back someone asked for help and offered £40 as a reward and when the help was given (it was quite a difficult problem) they never paid up.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] reyjabs:

N920A AT&T (Required VoLTE or Root or Unlock Bootloader or Any Better Alternative)

Dear's

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920A with Andriod nougat 7.0 (which U.S with AT&T). So basically i'm back to india. Now i want to use jio network sim card which only supports VoLTE.

I will post my questions in order, because since days i have been doing research and found nothing helpful.

1. I'm trying to use Jio network, which requires VoLTE, any patch or fix available?

2. Since i couldn't find patch tried another variant Rom which brings me to a problem of Bootloader by AT&T. Any way to unlock bootloader?

3. Now since i cannot find unlock bootloader i tried to go for root. Here goes with more issue there is no root. (Available if downgrade but would be stuck on some 5.1.1 also no way of downgrading). Any way to root?

4. Since no root i tried with many setting change at APN, *#*#4346#*#* (VoLTE wont get enabled), and so on. Nothing VoLTE shows up in settings. Any better option?

5. Wanted call recording since Jio 4G app is VoIP based call recording apps wont work with that. Any better suggestion if using Jio 4G Calling app with recording?

I try to send videos with viber but most times it fails. The same happens with 2 phones and 2 tablets on my home. When i connect with 4g i have no problem.. So i guess it has to be something with my router or wifi?? Can someone confirm that this problem exists only on me? I can't also send small videos, so it has nothing to do with the size of the file.. Most time i see the circle going full and then starting again the transferring. I have to wait many minutes to finally sent the video or i have to press the X button and resend the video. But this also doesnt give 100% success..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
This is not an android issue, it's an issue with your modem or your internet service provider.

This is not the kind of question to be asked here at XDA because there is nothing you can do to the android device to solve the issue. This forum deals specifically with Windows phone and android software development, not issues with your home network. Your issue is not a problem with android so your question doesn't belong here.

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] wetpanda:
Hey there!

So I've always been a Xiaomi fan for the past 4 years, although I've been offered either a Vivo Nex S or the Meizu 16th for my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S + 90€...

Wondering if such a deal is worth it, and if so for which?

I love them both due to the screens and on-screen fingerprint reader so just looking for a more "in-depth" opinion...

Cheers!
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] xwonic:
i can tell you i had mi mix 2s and i sold it to buy vivo nex s in which is arriving in 2 weeks

2 things i did to want this

the battery on mi mix2s with 5-7 hours SoT due to the 3400mah and LCD IPS screen.

and the selfie camera which i dont use that often but when i did it annoyed me having to up side down.

the only thing ill probably going to regret is the lack of support towards roms, root and other mods.

But we will have to see and wait for Funtouch OS to get better in time.

About Meizu 16th can't say for certain but a 3010mah battery doesn't look promising and the design is also something i don't like in comparison to the vivo nex.

So i say VivoNexS>MiMix2s>Meizu16th
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] shunil.scorpio01:
A flagship without battery kife is nothing that's the reason y i dintt got s9 or so plus
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
I replaced my Mix2 with the NexS and I'm loving it. Don't know much about the Meizu but it certainly won't match the Nex in battery life.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] wetpanda:
Thanks guys! Vivo it is!

EDIT: just got offered a 6T for 130€ more. Is it worth or should I. Keep with the vivo? Also, regarding to Roms, how's funtouch compared to MIUI or even OxygenOS?

Cheers
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
Despite what some might say Funtouch isn't all that bad, however OxygenOS for me is leaps and bounds better. However the Vivo Nex (international) is one very nice device, the battery life is just sublime, display also & camera's are very nice to......:good:
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Coming directly from the Mix2 and MIUI I actually prefer Funtouch in many ways. I've never used Oxygen.

The Oneplus is a better known and more popular phone than the NexS but I don't think it's a better phone (especially with that horrible notch). I look at the NexS as a premium Oneplus since they're basically from the same stable but with a bigger full screen, battery, wow factor pop-up camera and exclusiveness. I think it's the most underrated phone of 2018.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] xwonic:
true
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] wetpanda:
Wanted to take the time and "mini-necro" this to thank you guys for the suggestion. Vivo is just... wow... I still went for the 6T but traded it like 2 months later and couldn't be more satisfied.

Cheers
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
We told ya! :D

Looking at what's been released so far for 2019, I don't really see any compelling reason to replace my Nex. It's that good and the new phones are just adopting what the Nex already has.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] wetpanda:
I'll use this post to ask something else. I'm getting a phone for a mate's birthday. Thinking about a Mi Mix 3 or an S9 Plus. I can get 'em both for the same price. Which should I take?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Neither. Get something with better battery life like the Zenfone 6, Nex S or P30. I'm a Xiaomi fan btw.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] wxtester:
Hi,

It looks my tablet got hardbricked. Apparently, it looks like it was turned off completely automatically, when in sleep mode. When it's powered off now - pressing power button for a while makes nothing. When connected to charger - white LED flash is blinking only and when trying to power on, and there is no "Lenovo" logo at all. I've tried some of "power cycle" tutorials - but no luck. Once, when using power button, tablet was vibrating crazily and screen blinked, but it was shut down after moment.

Sorry, if there is existing similar thread - this tablet is not very popular. If there is any "magic trick" to make it work, I'll be grateful, if now - probably I'll need to flash new firmware. Currently, I'm discharging it completely.

Best regards.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] AeonFlux1603:
Are you still bricked? There is the firmware flashing method using SP Flash Tool which restores both the 850F & 850M to full factory condition. Let me know if you need the method and I'll get you links to the guides here on XDA.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wxtester:
Yes. I've asked for help guy from unauthorized repair service, he said device is completely bricked, probably EEPROM chip is broken. But ok, you can send me this instruction of course :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] AeonFlux1603:
I've had two 850F devices hard bricked and was able to recover using SP Flash Tool and a stock firmware package. I'll get you the method posted here. But, out of curiosity, how did you hard brick yours?

(The 850F is pretty much an 850M without SIM/data connectivity support. They also have slightly different chipsets, but many of the specs are very similar. So, I know the method will work on both variants of the Tab3 8.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wxtester:
Hey, thanks for you reply! As I'm not owner of the tablet, it's hard to say how it was bricked. It was on stock firmware, it was not rooted and TWRP was not installed. I've helped to configure this tablet, tablet was turned off everyday at 11PM automatically, and powered on manually, by device owner. She said sometimes instead of powering on to Android, it was booting into FASTBOOT mode (green android image). Once, it just failed to boot, without any reaction. I've tried to recover it using Windows machine, when plugging it into computer (no matter, with, or without Vol+ pressed) it was recognized as Unknown device (instead of Qualcomm, or something). I've tried many drivers - but with no luck, device was not recognized. Also, I've tried 2 machines with Win7 & Windows XP. I've managed to reboot device using power key long pressed, but starting from this point device was not recognized at all... When plugged into USB, nothing was happening. Service guy said he was able to make his computer recognize device using some technical cable plugged directly with motherboard, but all methods to flash firmware failed. He said probably EEPROM chip is broken completely and replacing this part is half of device cost. Thing is, this tablet was bought from China - so no guarantee at all. Well, probably she need to buy next tablet from local electronic store...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] AeonFlux1603:
Yeah, the service guy is full of it without any doubt. Using a modded fastboot cable, like he was likely referring to, will not only fail to push firmware to the eMMC, but will very likely damage or corrupt the partition index. I can't promise my method will work, but I can say with some certainty that it will. Ok, first things firstt: install the latest SP Flash Tool on your Windows PC or laptop. Also, you will need to install the latest vCOM drivers (for the Mediatek chipset). Do you know how to do this or do you need links? I can post a link for unbricking the 850F, which has been reported to work on 850M, but the thread is a bit erratic and non-concise. It will be much easier if you and I do this step by step. Also, you will need a stock firmware package for your 850M (build version is not relevant). Do you have one or do you need a link?

In a nutshell, this method will do an emergency recovery by directly pushing a stock firmware package to the device's eMMC flash memory. Although your PC is not currently recognizing your device, the vCOM drivers/SP Flash Tool, & your volume down button, will force recognition of the Mediatek chipset. Again, I cannot promise this will be successful, but I can say I've not yet seen a single hard bricked Tab 3 that could not be recovered from a hard brick this way.

Step 1 -- install the latest vCom drivers on your Windows (7, 8.1, or 10) PC/laptop. Here is an excellent XDA tutorial that provides sources and detailed instructions. https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-32-64-t3267033/page1 Sorry for the lengthy url.

Step 2 -- install the latest SP Flash Tool on your PC or laptop. Go to this website for download sources; https://spflashtool.com/

Step 3 -- download a stock firmware package for your TB3-850M. This is a link for a solid firmware package, confirmed to work (take note that build version isn't a factor. The SP Flash Tool will push a downgrade, upgrade, or collateral installation {same build version}): https://cloud.mail.ru/public/LHhe/NkpAi7WuL

When you've completed the above 3 steps, let me know and we will go forward with the firmware recovery process. :good:

Hi all,

I have a weird problem with my Z1. The power button is broken for a few months and when i press volume up, phone takes this command as if i pressed power button. Or even combination of them. I've used volume up button instead of the power button to wake up my Sony. So I thought the importance of its charging and I have never let it shut down as a result of low battery. Because I did not know how to power on it again.

But,

Today I wanted to shut it down, so i pressed volume up; the menu came after volume rising, I pressed "power off". But guess what? It restarted! I tried this a lot. I even tried the red button but there is nothing. It restarts and restarts and restarts... After pressing red button, it vibrates 3 times and after a second it vibrates one more time and Sony logo comes up...

I've learned that I can open it anytime but than if I want to shut it down, what should I do? I could wait until the battery ends for now but this situation makes me so sick that I want to learn the solution. So, please help me. What can I do with this stubborn?
