Excellent ROM, snappy and fluid. Just one tip, I would like to have San Francisco fonts that have been in crDroid ROM. Also there's no sync option in quick settings.

PS. Edge gestures need fix. When I swipe from left or right side of bottom of the screen it should simulate back button, but it doesn't, instead it's like I pressed home button.

Thanks for your hard work.

Hello Guys,

I tried to install TWRP on my Ulefone Power 3.

I installed Adb Drivers and got the newest TWRP recovery.

I connected my Phone with the Pc and Installed it, there went nothing wrong.

Then I Restarted the Phone and all i get is the Message Orange Status, Your Phone has been unlocked and can´t be trusted. Your Phone will boot in 5 Seconds, after 5 secands the phone restarts and i get the same Message.

If i plug the Phone to the Pc It only does the Bootloop.

i can´t boot to the bootloader and Also i cant boot in to the Fastboot mode.

Sry for my bad english, I tried my best.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] bluishguru:
I have noticed that my Mi A2 does not show full speed on wifi.

I have a 100 Mbps connection, which when I connect via my laptop clocks at around 92+ Mbps, but on my A2 it only clocks about 50 Mbps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] akghar:
Check which type of wifi your router can provide.

From Wikipedia : There are many different versions of Wi-Fi: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4[40]), 802.11h, 802.11i, 802.11-2007, 802.11-2012, 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5[40]), 802.11ad, 802.11af, 802.11-2016, 802.11ah, 802.11ai, 802.11aj, 802.11aq, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6[40]), 802.11ay.

One of the most popular wifi norm used over the years is the 802.11.g, which is capped at 54 Mbps. Could be an answer.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Just tested at home.

I have a 350 Mbps connection. I get 120 Mbps in download, and 40 Mbps in upload. (can't post pic)

I think my router must use 802.11ad, but I'd have to check.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Back again, made more tests.

Be sure to connect to a 5 GHz band. My router can use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

I'm getting way worse results on the 2.4 band. So use the 5 GHz if you can.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] bluishguru:
My WiFi router supports 802.11b/g/n. It supports Dual band 300 Mbps.

My router supports only 2.4 GHz bands. If it's capped at 54 Mbps, how come my laptop gets 100 Mbps?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] C4SCA:
Either its using 40mhz channel bandwidth (144mbps per "antena") or it has dual antenas (2x 72mbps at 20mhz or 2x 144mbps aka 300mbps at 40mhz).

Mi A2 only has one for 2.4ghz (72mbps at 20mhz or 144 at 40mhz) and one for 5ghz (433mbps at 40mhz and 200ish mbps at 20mhz if im not mistaken)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] bluishguru:
My router has 2 antenas.

So I should force my router to use 40Mhz band? What other settings should I be using? I also have a WiFi Range extender, not sure if that supports using different bands.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] bluishguru:
I forced my router to 802.11n with a 40Mhz Channel Width. Disabled my extender. Made sure my A2 was the only device connected, still speed is capped at 50 Mbps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] C4SCA:
40mhz is a bad ideia for 2.4GHz since to do it it overlaps channels wich most probably are already in use around you.

on my Mi A2 on 2.4ghz i always get around 50mbps (72 minus overhead) which seems just fine. The phone is fine.

on 5GHz i get my 200mbps.... your laptop probably has MIMO technologie
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] bluishguru:
Ok thank you for the explanation, I'll just upgrade my router, and probably check if I still need the range extender, then maybe upgrade that too
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] SakuraSa233:
Check your wireless AP? Or try it with another AP?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] pushpit:
All redmi phone only getting 50mbps on 802.11n on 2.4GHz

All redmi phone only getting 50mbps on 802.11n on 2.4GHz i have test. I have redmi note 7 pro latest and a Realme note 5 pro and a laptop, my wifi connection is 75mbps. When i test the speed then in Redmi note 7 pro is always getting 50mbps or below it cannot goes beyond 50mbps but in Realme 5 pro and in my laptop both are getting full speed around 72mbps..

Therefore you all have not any issue with your wifi router the problem is only in your Mi devices....

If you don't trust then check and compare the speed with any mobile and u will get to know the Mi devices is only limited to 50mbps.

I know that i have a alternative option , if i use 5Ghz router and my redmi note 7 pro also support 5GHz but my question is why Mi devices are failed to getting speed on 2.4GHz where all others brand are getting 802.11n speed.

I don't want to get alternative if anyone has the solution then post here otherwise we know the alternative so pls do provide alternative option.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
You are not entirely correct. Maybe it is a Redmi throttle because on my Mi X6 my speed runs to around 100Mbps on 2.4Ghz and reaches around 350Mbps on my 5Ghz connection . My internet connection is a 1000Mbps connection but I only achieve that speed on my computer with gigabit ethernet and cat5 cabled connection. Never by WiFi .
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Archundias:
Agreee. I have a Xiami MI A2 and I used to get +70 Mbps in 2.4 Ghz and +150 Mbps in 5 Ghz. A couple of days ago I had issues with my router and had to restart it and now I can´t get more than 30 Mbps in both 2.4 and 5 Ghz... but I also got the March security update in the phone so not sure what´s causing the issue. I´m quite sure it´s the phone because other devices perform fine in the network.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
you can solve the WiFi speed by using custom kernel Agni for example. Try the different libs to see which work best . But so yes Xiaomi throttled WiFi in newer versions ..custom kernel like agni gives option in aroma to choose another modified or older lib . This will double your speed .
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Jiehfeng:
Hey sorry to bump a thread like this, but it seems it's not an issue many persist with as most internet connections are usually below 50Mbps so users don't notice the issue.

I've got a new Redmi Note 11, and along with an old Redmi Note 8 I have, both have limited WiFi speeds on both 2.4G and 5G networks at 48Mbps for some reason.

Your claim that Xiaomi throttled the WiFi in newer versions makes the most sense, so I have a question if you don't mind. Would just going for the latest Agni kernel do for me? I'll be trying to port TWRP to this new phone and see if I can flash the newest Agni, from there is there anything more to do? Will the WiFi speed be back to normal?

[Samsung Gear S3] Lubos1:
Hi, after the 4.0 tizen update I am encountering an issue not described in other threads (at least I hope so). Apart from altitude calibration and contact sync issues and so on, my watch SOMETIMES do not vibrate on incoming calls. I can see the caller on the watch display, I can answer or reject the call by the watch but the watch just do not vibrate. It is really annoying. I have missed many calls since this issue appeared. I have endured several watch hard resets, each one brought a new issue. I have cleared caches of galaxy Wearable and Contacts apps on the phone. The only thing I have not made so far is phone hard reset. I refuse to make it until I am sure that anything else would not help. But I believe this issue is connected with Galaxy Wearable update to version 2.2.23.19021251 which took place on Tuesday 19th February I think. I was making another watch hard reset so I cannot tell if the cause is the watch hard reset or the application update. Even if one contact calls me more times, it happens that one call - watch do not vibrate (I missed the call), then the same contact calls me repeteadly, the watch do vibrate (and I answer the call). Any ideas? Do you think Samsung is working on any updates that would solve the myriads of Tizen 4 issues described here and everywhere else?

Thanks for any ideas.

Lubos

If you're feeling adventurous, you could try it. Make sure the pins are the same as on the original battery (positive, negative, etc), the voltage and amperage are the same and then you could in theory have a working battery replacement. Someone did the same with a Nexus 5 and an LG G2 battery back in the day. But I'd strongly advise you to be careful as batteries can and will explode if handled terribly.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] copekyle:
Strange issue. After applying the Feb 2019 security patch over air, my phone is no longer recognizing when it is plugged into a PC. I plug into my PC and I get a charge symbol on my battery but no pull down option to switch from charging to USB mode. Things I've tried:

1. New Cable although the wife has a Pixel 3 (standard) that works with this cable and computer just fine.

2. Different PC

3. Toggling USB debugging

4. Changing the USB setting in developer mode to transfer

5. When I plug a USB stick into the phone using the USB-C to USB-A adapter, the phone recognizes the stick and I can browse files

6. "Cleaning" the USB-C port

7. Also booted into safe mode (which I would assume should be like a factory reset) but no USB.

8. Switched between USB 3 and USB 2 ports on the PC.

It seems to me that there's a software issue with the Feb update that messed with the usb settings. I called google and they just want me to factory reset my device before they will transfer me to tech support. I'm avoiding that because I don't want to go back through the time/trouble of resetting up my phone. Any tips/tricks I've missed here?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
If you have a Google variant with the BL unlocked, flash the factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all batch file. That way, you won't lose data. If you are on the Verizon variant or don't want to unlock you BL, sideload the OTA from stock recovery. See if it cleans up your issue. Also, sounds like you might have a driver issue on your PC. Easier to fix that first if it is the issue.
