Could be his provider, location, etc. One data point doesn't mean much unless of course your the data point with connectivity troubles. I don't have any problems with anything. Phone has been flawless in that respect. Just wish it was a little speedier... :)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] poncespr:
I think this phone is awesome for the price. I sold my note 9 for a better camera and timely updates, and don't regret it one bit. But I do have some issues with the bluetooth behavior. When I turn on any previously paired speaker, the phone automatically assumes I want it to connect to it. This is annoying because every time I turn on the TV, the Pixel redirects sound output to it's sound bar. Also, when I connect to bluetooth speakers, music starts playing and then cuts off, and I have to redirect sound to the phone, then back again to the bluetooth speaker for audio to work. The second issue seems to be fixed on Q, but not the first one. It's just a minor annoyance, and not enough to ditch this phone, but never had this issue with any other phone. Other than that, I love my Pixel.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] viper3k:
I understand that this may be considered duplicate. However due to the title of the previous thread clearly stating that the effort there is closed, I though I open this up. I would really love to get more 4g bands working as I have no LTE service in my area. Here is a post from the aforementioned thread.

Maybe Possible Solution

Just found this thread after I unlock carrier locked my Hisense B16C2G phone that can't be unlocked for almost 3 years. This is just hypothesis, I suggest to try this with concern.

There are several file that determine bands capability in the devices. Most of it is in NV partition, but from the discussion I know that you guys have tried some popular ways to unlock it, but it failed. Like my phone at first i believe its hardware locked too, but i just discovered some Chinese article about unlocking oneplus device. Maybe you can try it too.

Here it is:

1. Connect to QPST and open EFS explorer

2. In policyman folder there are 3 file that most likely can be the cause of this network restiction

carrier_policy.xml

post.xml (in my phone there is none)

rat_mask (in my case this file that restrict my network even after I change NV values to support all bands)

3. Compare all three file with other phone's that most likely have same architechture (maybe MI8 or Pixel). For rat_mask, make sure it have same bits number(compare with Hex Editor)

4. replace that carrrier_policy.xml(and any file that contain this name) and rat_mask with modified files or use you can use other unrestricted phone's instead

These file originally in modem.img. Some phone replace them back with the original file when boot, you can modified init.radio.sh to prevent that.

We can modify carrier_policy.xml in modem.img and flash it to the phone but i cant find where rat_mask located

5. Reboot and hope if it solve your problem

I can't find any reference about how to generate unrestricted rat_mask and device_config so make sure you backup your original file before you make modification. Sorry I can confirm whether it will work or not because i don't own poco

NB: I solve my problem just with replacing carrier_config.xml and rat_mask. There is a file called device_config, be careful with this file because it control how the phone modem interact with qpst too, wrong modification can cause you cant connect to PC even in diag mode.

Does the above information help at all with this effort? I'm not quite savvy enough to pursue this on my own. I also found the below thread which describes a process which is apparently still working for many Qualcomm devices including Xiaomi. Has this method been attempted with the Poco F1?

I sold my Poco and took over my GF's which was on 10.2.3. I had LTE at my place, confirmed with speed test and LTE app. After upgrading to 10.3.4 today I no longer have LTE. I've tried switching back and forth between APNs to no avail. Any ideas?

Scratch that.. Start by taking the initiative to open your eyes and read the threads around you. There is a software forum that maybe you need to look into, because it seems that is your interest. Don't come in here and expect to be spoon fed, I'm fresh out of baby food. The big thing is that there are other threads on the main page that are just like this.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
I'm almost thinking we need to create a new forum section called Kaiser > N00bz...since there are so many self professed noobs who have recently been littering general (or worse) with posts like this.

It is one thing to ask a question that has been asked before...I admit sometimes it is very difficult to weed out the relevant information from a search (even if spending 4 hours reading). It is quite another to post something like this which isn't really even a question....more like a request for spoonfeeding.

I think posts like these need to be deleted upon creation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hapijuice:
this is my first time on this site okay? I dont know what to look for. I saw the general discussion about asking questions so i asked a question. should people who dont have knowledge about these things get pushed away because they arent as smart as some of you?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
well...u dont need to be smart to know how to search and read the stickies...if u claim to be a noob...which u stated in the title...chances are that other noobs like u have already asked that question that u may have...so a simple search or read around the forum would give u the general basic knowledge u need
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hapijuice:
thank you mr. nice person i just dont know what exactly to search for and i didnt know that there were other posts like mine so my bad for "littering" your forums.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
hapi... I am not wanting to bash you specifically. This is a problem that has been plaguing this site for quite a while.

First, you must realize that the name of this site is XDA-DEVELOPERS. It is meant for people who have an interest, and hopefully some skill in developing software for XDA devices. At the very least it would indicate some tweaking/hacking skills to existing software.

If you are clueless (and i don't mean that negatively) about any of these things it isn't exactly the place to be posting, even in the general forum.

This is like walking into an auto mechanics convention and screaming out "Hey can someone tell me what a car is and where I can get one?"

However, we are always open to new faces and if you took the time to look around on your own you would probably learn a few things and answer many of your own questions. After a short while you would probably be able to post with a more informed outlook.

In general, this is universal forum ettiquite, not specific to this site.

As a new user, perhaps you could tell us how we might better design this site to help this situation not happen?

Were things not clearly listed?

Were they listed but you just didn't read them?

Did you read them but not understand them?

Did you understand them and just not care?

Did you care and were just lazy?

These are honest questions to help the community understand how we can better server newcomers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hapijuice:
well i came here because i showed my friend my phone and he said here go to this site and look around. so i did and i just had a question and i needed help. i have a desire to learn about this stuff so i can get some nice stuff for my phone but right now i am kind of clueless. so all i wanted was maybe some programs that were on this site that i could download and that you super tekys think would be good for a starter. and some of the thread things were unclear... like i dont understand what they do and stuff..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Septastrum:
Come on guys give the guy a break!

The attitude on here is very much RTFM etc. which is fair enough but I wouldn't object to a noob forum either. There is no comprehensive noob guides, its a discussion forum with about 50 peoples different opinions on what you need and inevitably going into too much detail... I specialise in seperating the wheat from the chaff and really for the average joe there's no harm in it being more accessible.

But as others have said in the current state of play all you can do is read. To flash your rom:

1. Install hardspl on your kaiser

2. Find a ROM you like in the rom development section (be aware: Roms with windows mobile 6.1 you need to install a 6.1 Radio ROM too, the process is the same as installing a ROM)

They all come with instructions pretty much, make sure to back everything up first. There are a lot of good applications out there but if you find a good ROM chef for example dutty (there are a lot, I only mention him because I use his roms) they will often have a full fat ROM with a lot of nice applications bundled in.

As for this being a 'pros only' forum, well how do you get new members? I spend plenty of time on hexus.net which is a tech enthusiast forum and there are tonnes of noobs who don't know a graphics card from a hard drive, but there's still plenty of helpful advice.

+1 For the newbie question section though.

And I think going to mediawiki would be beneficial too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
The phrase "general discussion " doesn't mean walk in and ask anything. It means after you have done your reading and research if you have a question that doesn't fit into a specific catagory here , then post it in "general"

You have walked into a graduate physics class and said " teach me science people ." That being said , Check out the wiki here and at htcwiki.com go to the TILT Home page. Go over all your download options and information on those pages. Then come back with specific questions or problems.

You will then find that people here can be incredibly friendly and helpful. Well except for a few of you and you know who you are:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Septastrum:
The thing is the applications tend to be specific to what you want to do, ROMs are brilliant for improved performance but you really do need to read the bundled information first, it's not as hard as it first looks but if you mess up you could brick your phone.

Applications I frequently use:

- Google Maps (You can use your GPS for free effectively, and even if you can't get a satellite lock it's good at guesstimating your location)

- Quickmenu is start menu replacement that is better in a lot of ways

- Total commander is like windows explorer, (or file explorer) but much more robust and better, generally

- Battery status is a nice application that tells you how much battery you've got left and has some powersaving options

- Opera is better than internet explorer but it's still in beta and is not free :(

I've also got some games:

- kevtris

- ms pacman

That are good for burning time when I'm bored.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Yes I was serious about a noobz forum. The problem is that many people i think get here via google and just get into a section and don't bother to read anything.

We need to realize that the internet is so common now, it shouldn't be different than real life. You need to know where is the proper place to go for something, and how to ask for it.

As for new members, we welcome them, and after some investment in their own knowledge, they will become productive members.

Alas, there will always be people like you (no offense meant) that will spoonfeed baby yelps like these. However I suspect in a couple of months you too will get tired of it. I always try to help a new user when I can, but not when 0 effort has been made.

Again, I don't mean to bash the OP here, thus my genuine questions about what can be done to help make this more accessible without spoonfeeding. I really think the noobz forum might help and I can't see that trying it out would be a big deal.

See this is part of the problem too with people like this. My posts regarding his behavior were not "bashing" posts. I never call him a loser or say he is littering the forums.

I explain to him why this type of post would be deemed inappropriate and ask him genuinely what he thinks we can do to make the site easier to navigate for people like him.

With a response like this it is apparent he is either not reading or not comprehending.

If he is not reading, then I would have to go with the attitude that users like this don't really want to be helped, they are just here to waste time and won't genuinely absorb anything they are told. In which case, I would have to say good riddance (although I hate to be that harsh).

If he is not comprehending then I would have to say that he is either a child, mentally incapable, or perhaps english isn't his first language. Now I don't mean to compare a non-native speaker with a child or a mentally incapable person, I am just listing possible reasons why someone would not be able to understand the rules of the internet, or posts like my previous ones.

I don't mean to sound arrogant on the issue as I would generally like to find a solution that helps everyone. I have seen many times when the language barrier might translate an otherwise well meaning post into something that looks like a noob wrote it. Unfortunately the native language of the forum is english, and I don't think we can solve all those problems related to it. English is my native language, and although I can get by in a few others, I wouldn't head on into a french forum and start asking questions in french if I couldn't form them properly.

I guess some people can't be helped

anyway...I think I'm just rambling now... I need to get back to work :)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alexk_il:
As a photographer I'm deeply in love with my Lg G5. It's cameras were and still are the best in class, adding GoogleCam makes them even better. Unfortunately I reached the point where the bloody GPS issues force me to move on. Since V20 shares exactly the same cameras as G5, I'd rather get a used V20 than go with G6/V30 or later.

Looks like H990DS or N are supposed to be the best for UK, however I've seen complains about bad reception.

Is this a known issue? Are all H990DS affected?

Are there any issues with GPS with this or other variants?

Any other issues I should be aware off?

Thanks

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
You should root your phone to remove screen retention. It's really really annoying. But with root no prob to solve this issue. For me no more issues. :) the cam on the back is very fragile so cover it with a 9H displayglass for 2 Euro from Aliexpress or so. But even if you're not doing it. It's super easy to replace. In general the V20 is a beast if it's about physical durability. You can almost replace anything with a few screws.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alexk_il:
Thanks. I guess you've never tried to fix the LG G5 GPS if you think that these are serious issues. :p :laugh:

I can't root since the phone will be blocked by my corporate IT, plus I suspect Google Pay/Credit card apps to stop working too. Hope the retention is not worse than on G5.

Just did more research, looks like the main cameras on G5 and V20 are different... It's 4x3 now, pretty much aligned with what the rest of the world decided to go with! Well, at least the wide-angle lens which I use most of the time still seems to be the same.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] MichiMess:
Hi,

I have a MTCE PX5 in my Ford Fiesta 2013. I'm really happy with it! :)

But I have 2 questions:

1: Example: If I open a door I see a black/orange car drawing with a open door. If I adjust my airco I see a black/orange statusbar at the bottom.

I think it's really ulgy and it's hard to see it. I thaught if I install a different ROM (hal9k), this black/orange logo's will change.. But no! It's exactly the same.

So this is not something in the ROM? Is there a way to ajust this appearance?

2: Some original buttons are not right. Example: The button "info" is launching a navigation app and the "navigation"button does nothing.

In the hal9k ROM I found a program to redirect the codes. Nice! But with te navigation button the radio sees no input code.

So I'm guessing this has to do with the canbus decoder. Can something be done about this?

Many thanks!
[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] Immortal68:
As soon as my battery is below 80% charge the screen seems to turn black at random every few seconds, staying like that for about 2-3 seconds and turning back on after. Note, that it doesn't turn off, but just black, so the back light is still on. Touchscreen doesn't work while the screen is black though.

This happens in system as well as during boot. It gets worse the lower the battery is.

I disabled all battery saving options, but the problem persists.

The mobile phone has not been tampered with (bootloader locked, official ROM on most recent update).

Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it?

I'd also be grateful for any ideas on how to narrow down the faulty component. :good:
