I'm down in DC but whenever I visit my mom outside of south philly (which is fairly frequent) 1.65.16.25 works like a charm.

i was using 1.58.25.17 but the battery drain killed me. i went back to 1.65..x radio's
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] laakness:
Radio in my sig, I was able to turn off Bandswitch and still get great battery life for a whole day in 3G area.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] exoduzy2k:
Thanks for the tip on how to change the radio without the need of a computer. Maybe you should put this tip in the wiki or stick it. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] YettaVR6:
I am in the philly suburbs (about halfway between allentown and philly) and i agree that 1.65.20.29 is the best right now. With the radio included with Dutty's diamond rom, i couldn't even stream the cd quality sirius streams without cutouts every 10-15 seconds. With this radio it streams fine, signal is better, and gps locks in faster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vwauditech:
1.65.20.29 Seems to be the best for me too. I see in this thread that there are several PA and NJ people here. I suddenly got 3G about lunch time today in Lancaster, PA. Before today I never once got it anywhere close to here. Thanks AT&T its about time!!! hehe

To- YettaVR6 What year?

I am on AT&T in Michigan and 165.20.29

Well I have tried the neon radio and the number of bars was the same between the 58 and 65 radios the problem with the 1.58 radios for me was the GPS connect time it tool almost 35 minuets to get a lock after flash and after that it was about 6 to 9 minuets each time. with the 1.65.20.29 it took about 3 minuets the first time and about 10 seconds after that. So for me here in Mi with a Tilt running "RynCppr V5 WM 6.1" Hard SPL 3.29 the radio for me is 1.65.20.29.

Ed...

Yesterday was my first ever flashing of a ROM, but I did change my radio from an older one to 1.65.14.06, included in Dutty'd newest hybrid rom. It works pretty well, and I think it's a little bit better than the old one I had, which was 1.27.14.09. BTW I live up in Massachussets, so our areas may be a bit different
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Macgyvec3:
1.65.20.29 or 1.65.16.25. For me, they have had the best signal/data speed/quality by far but the 1.58.16.27 radio has a significantly better battery performance but is an absolute battery hog when using the GPS. The 1.65 radios don't suck anywhere near as much power when using the GPS. If I'm going to be away from a charger for an extended period of time I will use the 1.58.16.27 radio. Otherwise 1.65.20.29, which seems to be better on battery than the 1.65.16.25 but both preform very well.

GPS

No one has mentioned GPS yet......What radio are people finding work the best on AT&T with 6.1 for GPS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
1. is the .nbh file in the root directory of your SD card.

2. is it named KAISIMG.nbh "exactly"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DarkCloudInc:
Great Lakes area using the 1.65.20.xx radio. Improved camera speed, I get one extra bar in most places, great performance but at the price of battery. The other tilt I have is the one using the 1.65.14.xx radio that seems to have a much better battery life, decent performance, and a considerably slower camera.

GPS seems to be somewhat better on the .14.xx but I haven't full rung out the .20.xx yet.

For at&t, my vote goes to 1.65.16.25
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] amkaos:
yes , i copied / pasted name exactly

is it sposed to sit for awhile before it continues?

thanx

edit :: i am not using microsd..

i just loaded onto root directory,, does that make a difference?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
makes a huge difference. this method is for flashing using the sd card. I dont know of a way to do it without a pc or an sd card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] amkaos:
i loaded to root from PC.. changed name , etc..

i thought you said that i could put into folder of phone, then move to root, so i did that..

looking in phone, i made sure that it was in root..

i didnt wanna use the ruu.exe..

I am in Braselton, GA north of Atlanta. I get horrible reception. I have tried every radio I think that works with Dutty's 4/29 ROM. My house is about a mile or 2 north of the AT&T 3G coverage area. Where I work I get 3G coverage, but the reception is still not great. I drop calls way more than I should. Every other AT&T phone used at my house works great, no problems (Treo, Razr, 3125). I think I am using 1.65.20.29 the most, but sometimes switch to 1.65.16.25 & 1.65.14.06 with no better reception.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rcobourn:
If you do a system wipe, and still have the issue, you'll either have to get it serviced or replaced... or strap a vibrator to it.

i have wipe put a10 firmware and still this isnt a software issuse
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
It's probably a hardware issue if you did a factory data reset and it still vibrates constantly after your done.. If you made any changes or settings adjustments then try putting them back to defaults, or uninstall anything you may have installed recently (maybe a rogue app).

You can try going to safe mode and seeing if it still vibrates all the time.

IMHO the simplest approach (if possible) is if you can get it replaced by Amazon I would just do that and not try to delve to much more into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] awakener777:
Happened to me shortly after purchasing. Had to get phone replaced. Actually happened to quite a few people.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] awakener777:
Yeah Samsung won't touch my international phone. Ubreakit said they'd fix mine, and for cheap. But fortunately for me, the seller was kind enough to replace the phone. And it stopped working after ten days of opening. Very irritating when something so simple, yet important and expected to work without issues can cause such a hassle.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] redsmith:
I'm at my wits end with this problem. Hopefully someone knows what's going on.

The problem: Everytime I open the available wifi networks menu it always shows an empty list, which repopulates after 3-4 seconds. It is fairly annoying to wait for the phone to find all available networks.

Expected behavior: when opening the available wifi list, it should already be populated. At least, that's what happened on all of my previous phones, except for the Pixel 2. Is this a problem with the Pixel line? Can anyone confirm?

I think there's something wrong with my wifi settings. I've tried everything: wifi scan throttling on and off, wifi scanning on and off, turn wifi on automatically on and off, open network discovery on and off... what's going on??

Rooted Pixel 3 on stock Android 10 (December patch), Kirisakura kernel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
I just checked mine and it took a few seconds to scan but after that if I closed it out and went back into it, all the networks were still there that it had scanned previously a few minutes ago. Tested it a few more times after that and a few new ones were mixed in without having to wait for it to scan when I opened the WiFi page. Maybe try a different kernel and see
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Mine is behaving exactly as you both describe. For better or worse I think this is the intended behavior.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] redsmith:
Thanks. Since yesterday, I've noticed mine does that as well, but I would say it's only about 20% of the time. As soon as I do other things on the phone, the wifi picker clears itself, as though the list was being kept in memory. Did you try switching to other tasks as well? The annoying thing is that my other devices always keep the list populated. My wife's S10e on Android 10 works well, I have an old OnePlus 3T and it works normally. Even my ancient Nexus 9 works as intended. Is this something exclusive to the Pixel line? Something to do with the RAM issues on the Pixel 3?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Only time I've noticed it is when I'm sleeping and the phone is idle for hours or similar scenario. I don't keep my wifi on when I'm not using it so it doesn't scan in the background. The pixel 3 series has been known to have bad memory management which I've read has been fixed with the December security update supposedly. So maybe that's something to look into.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cjkacz:
I noticed at certain times my kids iPhones display the 5ge icon. I read that aosp added the icon some time ago but I have never once seen it on my 3XL. Anyone else have it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Scythe:
AT&T has a new conenction they called 5G evo but actually it is 4G not 5G and only certain phones has capability to recevie this signal(iphone X series and qualcomm X24 modem which is Pixel 4 not 3 unfortunately)

Think of it as a Lte advanced but a bit faster(supposed to be but tests shows it is slower according to tomshardware)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cjkacz:
Thanks. I knew it wasn't 5g but saw a considerable speed improvement using speedtest.net app on iPhone. I thought I read that aosp added the 5ge icon but I've never seen it. Furthermore, I'm not sure the pixel has the right radio/hardware to pick up the advanced lte . I guess I assumed it did
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cjkacz:
I just figured it out I think. 5ge operates on Band 14 . Pixel 3xl does not support that band. Pixel 4 does. So in theory the pixel 4 should be able to pull in the 5ge signal but not my 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] 1404zone:
Does anyone else have this problem where you cannot shut down your phone or restart it without a password? Also I discovered that you can no longer hold the power button down to force a restart.... Did they remove these or am I the only one who is having these problems? Note 10 plus 512 gb direct from Sammy. I don't understand why they would remove this feature. What if the phone freezes....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Beetle84:
No idea about the password, but to force restart, hold power and volume down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
Safety/security feature. Offers also fingerprint unlock for a while but after prolonged 'idle' time you must enter your pin/password. Prevents 3rd party people from factory re-setting your phone. Power & vol- still works w/o pin as in Beetle84post above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Ay-EyE:
If I you just so happen to lose your phone the person can't shut it off or lower the volume. It's definitely a perk. The walk around to the volume however is the do not disturb, but if you remove that from the quick panel you got a pretty good chance of finding your device via app, or calling it from another phone if the person is near. The power is now volume down and sleep button. That can be changed now as well.
[HTC Vox] skchattha:
pls help!!! on this information
[General Topics] GeekOnTheHill:
A few months ago I was in Sam's Club, and an AT&T salesman cornered me to try to sell me a new phone. I wasn't really all that interested; but my goddaughter was with me and wasn't done shopping yet, so I figured I'd let him pitch me.

He started talking about the camera on whatever phone he was pushing, and I interrupted him. "I don't care about the camera," I said. "What chipset does it have?"

Almost without skipping a beat, he started talking about the camera again. So I stopped him again and asked about something else, probably the battery capacity.

He picked up right where he left off talking about the amazing camera. I walked away.

More recently, I've been looking at phones to possibly (well, inevitably, eventually) replace a V20. On practically every manufacturer's site, at least three quarters of the page for any given phone is devoted to the camera and all the things it can do. Sometimes I can't even find the specs I'm looking for and have to search for them on Google. Sometimes it seems almost as if the manufacturers want to hide the specs -- except for the camera -- even when they're quite impressive.

I rarely use the camera on my phone. When I do, it's usually to take a picture of the serial number of something I'm looking for parts for, showing someone how much snow fell where I live, or some similarly boring or mundane thing. It's the absolute last thing I care about on a phone. But it seems to be the thing manufacturers spend the most time marketing.

Trying to find out how the audio quality on the earpiece is, on the other hand, is almost impossible -- at least on Web sites. One would think they'd upload a sound sample because it is, after all, a phone. How it sounds should count for something, no?

The last time I was in an AT&T store to pick up a SIM card, they tried to sell me a phone. That's okay. It's what they do; and at that time, I was actually interested in the V20 (which I eventually wound up buying, but from a distributor). I asked the salesman if he had one activated that I could listen to. He looked at me like I had two heads. I guess he never came across a customer who actually wanted to know what a phone sounded like. Am I the only one left who actually uses phones to make phone calls?

My process of searching for a new phone goes something like this:

1. Narrow down by processor, chipset, and RAM.

2. Narrow down by band support.

3. Find YouTube teardown videos to determine the difficulty of replacing the batteries in the remaining candidates, and eliminate the ones that seem designed to make it as hard as possible.

4. Search for comments about sound quality and battery life.

5. Start looking for the best deals.

I couldn't care less about the cameras because even the worst ones are good enough for what I use them for. Apparently that makes me unusual. It seems to me that most people are looking for a high-quality camera that has Internet access more so than a communication device.

[General Topics] Lilke Studio:
You are not the only one who doesn't care about phone camera quality. I use mobile phones for gaming, so when I buy phone I first look for it's GPU. Strong GPUs like Adreno 30 series (330, 430, 530, 540 and 630) means in most casses that phones have good CPU. Most today tasks can be done with 4GB of RAM so does phone have 4, 6 or 8gb ram it's no so important for now.
[General Topics] GeekOnTheHill:
I tend to keep phones for a long time, so I lean toward bleeding edge hardware. But this obsession with camera quality is starting to get a little ridiculous. Unless people are blowing up the images to poster size, I think we got past the human eye's ability to see the difference quite a while ago.

Another thing I don't care about is whether the phone is waterproof. I'll take a removable battery over waterproofing any day. Also, considering that I own two GoPro cameras that I use underwater all the time, I think the excuse that a phone can't be waterproof and have a removable (or at least user-replaceable) battery is hogwash anyway.
[General Topics] Lilke Studio:
If you want good camera for big posters and images use DSLR or professional cameras like Sony, Cannon or Nikon for that. Phone cameras will never reach that level of quality because their objective is too small. For every other needs phone camera is just fine. You are right human eye can see differences only on big screens and on high zooms.
[General Topics] GeekOnTheHill:
Exactly.
[General Topics] eksasol:
Well I care about one good main camera. I don't care for multiple lens, portrait mode, wide angled and all those gimmicks. I think tech reviewers lost touch with reality and most regular people in the real world rarely use all those gimmick features. Having a manual mode is more important to me than the additional lens and gimmicks.
[General Topics] ramencoder:
I agree with you OP. Processor, GPU, and RAM are the things most important to me when choosing a phone. That’s what makes a phone snappy and fast. The next are battery life and price. I think for the average buyer, pretty much every phone satisfies their basic need (browsing and running some apps like facebook). What makes them different is the camera, so manufacturers try to capitalize on that.
[General Topics] GeekOnTheHill:
I agree; and as much as I think the obsession with cameras is silly, at least it's one of the more-positive tactics manufacturers use to sell new phones to people who really don't need them.

Other than gamers, few average users will really notice much (if any) difference in the performance that the hardware improvements of the past few years make possible. If you're using your phone primarily for SMS, WhatsApp, and checking your Twitter and FecesBook feeds, there's little subjective difference between a four-year-old flagship phone and one built this morning.

Natural obsolescence is a function of how a device is used and the demands that newer software make on the device; and most of the software that average users use most simply isn't all that resource-intensive. Either of my V20's are subjectively as zippy today as they were the day I bought them, even on stock ROM with few mods other than uninstalling LG's and AT&T's useless crapware and disabling Google apps that I don't need, when running apps that most typical users use most.

So how to get users to replace phones that still do what they need them to do, and still do it quite well? Enhanced cameras and other gimmicks that may be useless in the real world, but still elicit an "Oh wow!" response, are at least an honest tactic. If people want to pay for useless gimmickry, more power to them. Personally, I'd prefer a cutting-edge processor and GPU, more RAM, and more complete band coverage, than a 108MP camera whose capabilities I'll NEVER make use of. But at least fancy cameras are honest, even if useless for most people.

The tactics that really turn me off -- to the point of swearing of a manufacturer altogether -- are those specifically designed to bring about obsolescence. Making batteries difficult to replace is the most obvious example. I always watch teardown videos before buying a phone, and the degree to which manufacturers are going to assure that average users can't replace their phones' batteries is infuriating to me.

Hiding the battery behind a bazillion cables and connectors is one thing. That makes replacement tedious, but not dangerous. Gluing the battery into the phone, on the other hand, can cause less-knowledgeable DIY-ers to lose their fingers, hands, or eyes if they don't know better than to try to pry the battery out of the phone without somehow loosening the glue.

To me, that's just unconscionable; and although I hope it never happens to anyone, if it does happen, I hope that person sues the living **** out of the phone's manufacturer, wins, and puts them out of business.

The manufacturers' arguments in favor of gluing the batteries in are nonsense. There is no functional reason to glue the battery in at all, much less that tenaciously. The argument that it will rattle otherwise is garbage. All the phones I've owned except one have had removable batteries. None of them rattled. I'm sitting here shaking a V20 as I type this. It doesn't rattle.

Planned obsolescence is bad enough. Planned obsolescence using methods that can maim people is despicable.
[General Topics] ramencoder:
I think I can understand why manufacturers opted to use non-removable batteries. It allows them to reduce the phone's thickness (this was the trend when iphone 6 was released). It also allows them to make irregular-shaped batteries, like the one in iphone x, to make room for other components. Last is that it makes it easier for manufacturers to waterproof their device. Though, I agree with you that gluing the battery to the phone is overkill. A simple double-sided tape is enough.
