My phone on AT&T doesn't connect to any 5G signal, and disconnects from all mobile data as if it have turned airplane mode on about every 10-20 seconds. I am constantly getting "You are offline" and "Back online" massages while just using Chrome.

Not sure if it's software or defective hardware.

I connected to metro for a bit it was pretty bad so then I switched to Tmobile. I thought since TMobile customers get priorization on their network it would be better, but not that good either. Definitely better than metro and there are actually some places I get really good download and upload speeds. But I've had people tell me also who use iPhones and Samsung phones that TMobile isn't that great either so maybe it's just the area I live in. I'm thinking of trying Verizon soon I've heard they got better coverage in my area, but that their 5g is extremely difficult to find. Don't know if it's much of a problem though considering the state of 5g right now lol

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Real Life Review] outlaw1985:
Platforms for measuring cellular networks from mobile phones are very popular. Unfortunately, they all suffer from a simplistic approach and measurement errors, and questions how to interpret these measurements. One such error source is that it is easy to measure the signal strength but hard to draw exact conclusions from it. Our work focuses on understanding the measured signal strength and analyzing it's relationship to enduser service quality. To study interesting causalities, such as the above, between different parameters we developed a measurement platform called Netradar for gathering information from mobile devices. We show the correlation between signal strength and TCP goodput in graphs and geographical maps, and the behavior depending on time of the day. We also discuss grouping of measurements to enable estimating the quality of connectivity in an area.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Firedrake1:
I picked up a Pixel 3a off ebay. It was sold as "factory unlocked", and I confirmed not a VZW model. I double checked by entering the IMEI number, on the VZW site, and it is indeed incompatible. However, the OEM unlocking toggle is greyed out. Anyone have any suggestions before I dispute the "Factory Unlocked Status" With the ebay seller?

Update: So. Even though a device's IMEI says it's not compatible with VZW, apparently that doesn't mean it's not a VZW phone. I chatted with Google support, and they were able to confirm it's a VZW model. Beware folks.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
"Factory Unlocked" usually means available from the factory for use with any carrier, not necessarily that the bootloader can be unlocked.

Hopefully this isn't your situation or a quick return may be in order.

Good luck.

I bought my 3a xl in Australia at a store and can confirm it's a Verizon model but it is factory unlocked with bootloader unlock available and I was able to unlock the bootloader as soon as I got home. Quite weird that yours was unable to be unlocked ?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I would definitely return the phone if you can. I suspect you are being hit with a double whammy - not only is it a Verizon phone, I suspect it has been reported to Verizon as lost or stolen which is why it is showing as incompatible on their system.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Marcviado14:
From what I read on previous pixel threads is that you have to check the OEM unlock before setting the entire phone. Factory data reset the entire phone and pull your sim out. Boot the the phone back up and since you have no sim log into your WiFi, skip all the Google sign in. And wait until the phone boots back up. Once the phone is boot up go to developer settings and you should be able to check the OEM unlock from there. I've never tried it so idk if that actually works but that's from what I read. So maybe you could give that a shot?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] waingro808:
99% of Pixels on ebay sold as unlocked are Verizon models. Buy on swappa instead, so you know what you're getting, but you will have to pay more for a non-Verizon model.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] so interesting.:
Can the LG G7 force the screen refresh rate to 75Hz or higher
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Ali Mirza:
I do wish it has higher refresh rate display, but unfortunately, upon the longer the system standby timer, the the less UI smoothness it will be. Despite having a 60Hz display, there are some hiccups, dropping out frame rates. The annoying resolution is to restart the LG G7 ThinQ every 2 or 3 days to feel smoother & faster. I wished the higher refresh rates would solve the problem, really it does not solve the problem. In 2020, a midrange SD 765 device with 120Hz display definitely has seen UI hiccups or stuttering. I surely blame LG for not providing us unlocked bootloaders, so we can enjoy custom kernels, which helps us change the CPU governors etc, which would greatly improves LG G7's overall performance even with custom refresh rates, i.e Google Pixel 3 or the One Plus 6 has smoother performance than the G7, despite all uses 60Hz displays. I surely will switch to any device with 2K resolution bearing 120Hz displays, eagerly waiting for the One Plus 8 Pro.

Hi,

I have a BA device since 3-4 weeks. I've been reading the forum since then and testing a lot of 6 and 6.1 roms.

I didn't find a complete and stable BT stack/software.

Am I missing the right thread ?

WIth the MS stack in 6.1, I can get the handsfree working 100%, the A2DP is connecting but the sound is not acceptable (sound skip each second) and not been able to connect my BT GPS (invalid password).

With the Helmi broadcomm 1.7 stack, I got the A2DP and GPS working, but no handsfree.

Is there any other stack ou patch that can help me ?

By the way, this forum is awesome. I found a lot of great information and softwares.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ShapeShifter499:
Mostly correct but I do not have a new v30 yet of any kind yet. I ended up needing the money I got from returning the device for other things more, then also there's this virus thing. So I don't know when I can obtain another. I'm on the telegram chat for v30 owners if anyone wants to help or ask any questions about support.

I do have T-Mobile, it's through a third party so I don't pay them directly but the SIM I use is T-Mobile.

EDIT: In the mean time I have a old Google Tango (Yellowstone) Tablet that works fine with the T-Mobile sim, no calls which sucks if there was ever an emergency but I don't actually call much to matter.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] HCFL:
I wanted to make this post about my adventure with my old Pixel 2. I was getting non-stop red lines out of the log in TWRP. Many times I would have problems mounting system and vendor partitions as well as vendor partitions needing "to be cleaned".

This led me to believe that I may have a corrupted partition, so I did some research into how the partitions are organized, and what happens when you flash a lot of ROMs. Perhaps you want to go back to the stock firmware? Perhaps - like in my case - you want to install a ROM such as GrapheneOS that's meant to lock the bootloader afterwards, and act more like the stock ROM.

What I didn't understand up until recently is how exactly the A and B slots of phones like the Pixel 2 work. They work because the firmware allows updating OTA to the opposite slot of what's active. That way - in the worst case scenario - you can actually boot into the opposite slot and regain access to your phone. I'm not an expert on this, but that's my basic understanding.

So now that that's covered, another important aspect is flashing ROMs. If you are like me and like testing many different ROMs, you may end up running into issues such as the one I stated above with TWRP.

The only way I was able to avoid these types of issues is to run some commands through fastboot.

One such command is

fastboot format system

This command will format the system partition and make it easier to install ROMs without running into issues.

Another command is

fastboot format vendor

This command was very important in my case, because the vendor partition was actually unusable for my slot A. Doing this command finally fixed that issue.

Another thing to note is ROMs can be installed in both slots. A lot of people don't do this, because they leave their bootloader unlocked and probably just run the ROM for half a day, and flash another. In my case, I needed to flash both slots in order to lock the bootloader in GrapheneOS, and allow the OS to update OTA. If you don't flash both slots, that won't work.

Just to clarify further, these are the commands (at the bootloader) I ran (from a command prompt in Windows) in order from start to finish when I was flashing a ROM I wanted to keep:

fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot format system
fastboot format vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot format system
fastboot format vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot update rom.zip
// Let the phone reboot into the new ROM, let it sit for a minute,
// then reboot into bootloader manually and then continue with fastboot:
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot update rom.zip

Once I've done this, and can confirm it successfully loads into the ROM I've installed, I can now say that I have a clean, fresh install in BOTH slots A and B.

I'll update this thread if I can think of anything else that can help newbies like me.

Cheers!

Would this help in bootloop as well? I have a pixel 1st gen that does. I have flashed and or tried to anyways factory images...OTA and even was able to boot twrp and get lineage to flash, only to get a random reboot and bootloop. I would need to flash the factory image in order to get this phone operable. Should I flash a factory image and then do your steps or should I do the steps first and then flash the factory image?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] craspo:
Hi, I'm living in Costa Rica, I have a friend that was coming from Germany and he offered to bring something from there (phones are expensive here). My previous Z1 compact was almost dead (almost half screen without touch) so I bought a second hand XZ1 (I'm not a big fan of big screen phones) thru ebay kleinanzeigen. The phone got to my friend, he tried it and everything worked fine. When he brought it to me, I realized there was a demo mode activated on the phone. Tried deactivating it from system ('lock screen and security' tab is locked), *#*#sellmore#*#* ('Device is for store use only, Retail mode cannot be activated') and firmware reinstall thru sony companion but no luck. My friend it's going to be traveling back in over 6 months to Germany :crying: . Is there a way to remove this demo mode since returning it it's not an option? Thanks for your time!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Use the flashtool or newflasher to flash a different rom, if it's demo FW Sony companion will just keep reflashing it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] craspo:
Thank you very much for your reply! For using this tools, do I have to root or unlock bootloader or both?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Neither, just flash, but remove the persist file before flashing to keep the Android attest key in tact.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] craspo:
Thanks again for your response! And sorry to break you ba**s again. I've dowloaded the last firmware from Xperfirm (47.2.A.11.228). I had Android 8 and this is 9. Is it worthy to upgrade? or I might encounter problems later on if I want for example to root or unlock boot loader? (I don't care much for customization I just use Titanium Backup for freezing or deleting bloatware)

And last question: I been reading about getting the persist file backed up and I just found this thread for motorola G5 would this still work? If not, would you mind guiding me in the right direction?

Thank you very much for your time again!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I'm sticking with Oreo because I don't like Pie, so that's down to your personal preference. You can find Oreo FW ending .20 in threads knocking about here. As for the persist.sin, you simply don't flash it, I think in the flashtool you can exclude it but if you use Newflasher you just delete it from the folder before flashing.

Give THIS thread a read.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] craspo:
Ok I have the fw and deleted the persist file (persist_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin, is this the right one?). Now just flash with newflasher? I do not have to backup TA partition (drm keys) or anything else?. Sorry for so many questions, I do not have a lot of experience on this and I do not want to mess it up.

Thanks again for your time!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Yes, and yes.

You only need to backup your TA if you're going to unlock the bootloader, if you're just flashing FW it doesn't matter.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jvers:
Hi, it is an older device so you might have experienced everything possible.. so,

After a long time of trying to fix that phones mind, I wiped everything avaible in TWRP

multiple times(got mad). Last thing was data.

That way I went from a bootloop to an active nothing.

Phone does not react to any command, it does not react to USB charging or on PC.

That's the case a few months back, the phone halfway in the trash and I bought

myself a iphone (hate it).

I put the Galaxy S7 on a charger today and it starts immediatly in to TWRP.

From there I tried to install a ROM that's left on the SD card, which forced

a restart into TWRP. Into download mode I managed to install the stock Oreo ROM via Odin.

It went through like a charme, all green. PASS!

The phones screen is black and does not react to any command, nothing.

I had "auto-reboot" activated.

The phone is active it's warm and I'm waiting for the battery to die again, to restart.

..meanwhile,

Can you give some advice please?

Why would the phone have struggle with the boot with stock rom installed.(which has worked before,no updates installed)

When should I install TWRP?

When do I install what kernel?

Last thing running was the LightROM with moro kernel with nothing tweaked.

Also. The issue why i deaded the phone was a camera/flash thing, where I could only take pictures with flash activated.

Front and back camera. On all camera apps, I couldnt scan my ID for banking due to that.

Also on different kernels and different ROMs including the Samsung stock.

Why would that be:confused::confused:

Could not accept...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
OK so what you've done is correct flashing stock (which includes stock kernal). You have to make sure the stock ROM is correct for your device and region or it will not start.

It's not unusual to have to flash it twice with Odin.

Next up you don't need to wait for batt to die to restart. Press volume down+home+power and keep them pressed until phone restarts. Should now be in download mode, reflash correct ROM with Odin. TWRP is wiped off the phone when you flash a stock ROM.

If it doesn't go through the boot up/freezes/ does nothing etc. You need to "wipe cache" then reboot from the recovery menu.

Press and hold volume down+home+power. As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to volume up (it may take more than one attempt). Once your in recovery menu use volume up and down to move through options and power to execute. Wipe cache then reboot and allow the phone to go through all the reboot stuff. It can take a few minutes just leave it alone. It will also reboot a couple of times.

If it does nothing after 15 minutes then start again and repeat the process.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jvers:
Thanks for reply.

The Phone was off for a day and after charging for 1h it still does not react to any command. Vol down + home + power does nothing. Same with vol up.

Is there a way to force a boot? Even if the PC does not recognize a device on usb?

I Tried the commands 30 secs each, plugged in and off. Also usb port is not broke since the phone is getting temperature after a while charging..
