[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CharlzO_2000:
Just curious if anyone else has had any issues with WiFi calling on their S20 variants. I have a stock S20 Ultra on Verizon. I recently noticed my wifi calling would simply just not connect at all. It was also failing on sending some text messages, problems that I surmised might have been a recent wonky app installed. I then factory-refreshed the phone from scratch, and installed from scratch, manually picking and choosing my apps to avoid the same fate. But even so, my WiFI calling is sporadic at best. Incoming calls will ring in mostly, but if I answer the call, I get no sound at all and no one can hear me. Outgoing almost never works, unless I restart the phone, then toggle wifi calling off, wait a minute, turn it back on, and then wait for the icon to display as WiFi Calling able. Then I can get one call out. I can immediately hang up and try again, any number, and it'll just sit there waiting to connect. I have only been able to test it while on my home network. I did also recently upgrade to 50m Fiber internet, though everything is routed through a Google OnHub router for wireless so I can monitor devices in the home. I'm still connecting to the same band that I was prior, and that my other phones (my S105G and S9+) have had no issues connecting and calling from. I do not have a strong enough signal inside the house for calls to connect over the network, so that's out. All other data on the phone works fine from wifi. Texts work more reliably but still suffer from the occasional Sending Error where it times out and I have to resend. Or it'll take an extra 20-30 seconds before it sends. I get the same results if I connect directly to the modem's Instead.

Are there any other suggestions on settings or checks I can look at between phone and network that anyone can think of? This only seemed to happen within the last couple months, too. When the phone was brand new, everything seemed fine.

Edit: Workaround / half solution found, post #6.

Howdy. I just got the S20+ 5G from Verizon. I noticed my mobile data connection going in and out fairly often and texts getting stuck sending. I also noticed wifi calling draining the battery. I've disabled wifi calling for now. I'm a little peeved a $1200 phone has an issue like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CharlzO_2000:
I know it's been a bunch of months, but I just wanted to follow-up with this. I haven't found a solution but I've all but ruled out the phone as the culprit. As it turns out, all the other phones suffer from the same issues. I even bought a Verizon LTE Network Extender, which has at least solved my text issue - they work reliably now. But voice calling is still a one-way street. Calls can come in, I can hear the other person all day long but nothing can be said back. Since it happens the same way on all the phones, and since it happens even with the network extender, I can only assume the issue lies somewhere either in the modem settings somewhere that I haven't found, or in the ISP backbone itself. Sadly, they're pretty worthless when it comes to tech support (and I should know - I work for them...). I've tried most things I can think of in the modem/router itself, took out my Google OnHub altogether, and still nothing. I've heard ports opened up being a common issue but for some reason, the ports that most people suggest are already showing in use and unable to be set aside. I revisit the issue every few months, but if I ever do find a solution for my case, I'll post back then.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
From what you've shared the connection issues would point to your ISP. If you haven't already done so request Verizon do a reset on the fiber connection or switch to DSL if they offer it. At times a COLO, the actual distribution point closest to your home isn't properly maintained or the equipment is in need of upgrades or repair. The only other consideration might be a firmware defect. If your S20 Ultra is operating on Unlocked FW you might want to flash Verizon's latest FW to your device. ATT/Verizon are notorious for compatibility issues with non-native FW.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CharlzO_2000:
A workaround /semi-solution has presented itself:

The reason my S10 worked was because it was connecting to the 2.4GHz radio instead of the 5GHz one (my router is set up with both configured through what is called "Total Control Wireless" where it configures both under one umbrella with the same SSID, security and password and then lets the devices pull whichever it prefers). But my S10 still had my 2.4 guest wifi in it, and connected to that without me realizing it.

By switching my S20 to Airplane mode, and connecting to my 2.4GHz guest wifi, it works. It does NOT work though, if I don't enable airplane mode. I believe this is due in part to some others I've seen posted where the Samsung phones will automatically attempt to use cellular signal regardless of wifi calling enabled or set as preferred. Noting that the preferred call type is under 'roaming' and likely not subjected to just always using it. So it sees a signal at all, be it from the extender or from even a small signal seeping through the wall, and I guess it tries to use that instead of the wifi. Airplane mode on, 2.4Ghz radio, and I can make and receive calls all day, with no issues with voice.

I still have some more to play with, like disabling the 5GHz band altogether, and so on, but for now at least, I seem to have narrowed it down. Even though this router is set up exactly as before, my guess is something in there isn't liking it. I even set up the 5GHz guest radio, which did nothing either. But for now, I at least have a workaround, even if it means having to remember to disable airplane mode when I leave the house. I think there's rules I can make for that somewhere...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CharlzO_2000:
Last follow-up. I don't know if this is really a solution, but for future reference:

I disabled the 5GHz radio in my modem/router. For records, it's an Arris NVG448BQ. I'm not sure what would've changed from the old modem to the new, but I guess it's possible that I didn't have both bands enabled on that one.

However, changing to strictly a 2.4 GHz radio has eliminated the issues altogether with my S20. I will be able to test the other phones later but I suspect the same thing. I don't think it's so much the phones as much as it is something somewhere in the 5 GHz side of the router, despite being unable to find any difference in the way they were set up. I even left it enabled as a separate SSID, and still nothing.

I also was able to disconnect my Network Extender (glad I spent money on that...) and thus eliminate the need to toggle airplane mode on and off. I was worried that the phone would still see a trace amount of cellular signal and prevent things from working, but I made a 30 minute test call on wi-fi calling (which now shows enabled reliably and available, no funky restarting or toggling needed), and repeated testing with sending and receiving text and SMS messages are all working as they should once again.

As far as phone-related though, I'm calling this one solved finally. I do suspect that with a better router and advanced band filtering, I could make things work somehow, but I really don't have any need to do so at this time.

Case closed.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mobilelearner:
Confirm carrier setting. Or re install carrier setting.

Go to setting / general / about.

Network must be Verizon 4G LTE. Network is good all the time.

HD Voice is activated/

Charlz0_2000 gives 2.4 GHz setting is the best solution here available.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CharlzO_2000:
As a follow-up to my last follow-up, and I promise after this one, I'm done. The ultimate cause of all this, was a faulty modem - which I half-suspected at times anyway as there should be no reason an S20 shouldn't be able to use the 5GHz band for Wifi calling. My Modem started completely rebooting at random a week ago, and I finally was able to get a replacement today from my ISP. As soon as I had it installed and configured, I connected to the 5GHz band with my phone and was able to make and receive calls over WiFi with no issues at all. I will keep the bands separate as I do have some smart devices that have a hard time with the "smart" umbrella that the modem defaulted to.

But just for future trouble-shooting for others with WiFi calling issues, it's worth a shot to try one band or the other specifically as a work-around.

Cheers all.

Hi !!!

My Kaiser (Schap's lite 4.31) randomly stop charging, whenever it wants, at home (USB to computer) or in car (as GPS use for example)

With my laptop, i use my Kaiser for "Internet Sharing" to get HSDPA, the orange led stays for a while, and without raison, it turns green and blinks, as stand by mode. So battery decreases very fast. The only way to solve is to stop "Internet Sharing", then ActiveSync re sync, and then led shows orange charging again. Then i can start "Internet Sharing" again, but for how long ? Problem comes again and again...

In car, same problem. In GPS use, with car charger (brand Motorola), it starts Orange charging, and randomly, orange led stops and i'm back with green blinking, running on his own battery (but linked to car charger !!!)

With AC Charger, no charge problem.

Probably my Kaiser has charge problems while running apps ?

Somebody can help me ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Darkhynde:
Well I have noticed this same behavior with my Tilt with various

roms. (Stock, Dutty's and now Garmins) It seems to me that at

the time the Tilt stops charging, the device is pretty warm. It

happend when tethered for ICS or when used as GPS. I may be

wrong but I have come to the conclusion that it is designed to

stop charging when the device reaches a certain internal temp.

Just using those two particular applications (ICS w/HSPDA and

GPS) causes the device to heat up, Combined with charging I

think it may be too much and the device stops charging to cool

off so that there isn't a component failure due to the heat build

up. I also say this because after an idle period with ICS (say I

am reading a long article) and the device cools a little it will start

to charge again. Likewise in the car with GPS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] korakesion:
This can help your problem to resolve,go to settings-system-power,make sure when device is turned on do not charge battery when connected to the pc,is unchecked.

regards
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] luminouche:
@ Darkhynde : You're probably right !!! Last time i saw this non-charging behaviour, it happened after long GPS use (started on its own battery, summer temperature, hot in car, and it stopped charging 5 minutes after switching on car charger adaptor), and long, long HSDPA (more than 5 hours on USB) use.

Temperature must be the answer, you're the king :D

@ korakesion : Obviously option is checked ;)

Thanks guys !!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
interesting thank you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
I've used my Tilt as a tethered USB modem during several disaster recovery tests for periods up to 14 hours and I've never had it stop charging.

But I can see the part about GPS because my phone gets hot as hell after 30 or so minutes with GPS running; still charges though...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TEKHD:
100% Confirmed Temperatures is the key...

Not sure anyone is still reading this post... but I just want to let yo guys know that I have the same problem... (it stops charging when using internet sharing and it get really hot)

The only solution I have found is to put the Tilt in front of a fan... If you put the tilt in front of a fan... you can use internet sharing/GPS 24/7... done this a million times... and it works for days without a problem.

Hope this helps... take care everyone...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dalavar:
I've had my phone since October 2007 and have tethered with it pretty much everyday since dial up is the only other solution where I live and NEVER did the phone get hot or stop charging until yesterday. If while I am using ICS and I go into power settings and check don't charge while connected to PC and then immediately uncheck it it will charge for a few moments and then go back to flashing green. I put a new battery in and no difference. I hard reset the phone and tried ICS without loading anyhting on the phone still same thing. It charges any other way except when using ICS and I DO pay for tethering on mine.:mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dalavar:
Just an update to my situation. I plugged my phone into my other computer and used ICS and this time it charged until full (granted it was almost full already) So here I am on my laptop which it would not charge while using ICS and so far after about 10 minutes it is still charging. Only thing I did was poke around in the registry looking for some magic setting but I never changed anything. I don't know if leaving it on a wall charger all day and night did something or I just got lucky. Hopefully it will continue to work since i only have less than a month left on my 1yr warranty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lextendo:
Doesn't this affect battery-life? I was under the impression you should not charge until the battery is (nearly) empty?

I have a feeling my hermes battery got wasted because the hermes starts charging every time I connect it to my pc (which is every day during office hours)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] colincraven:
It's a defect. HTC sucks and I'll never buy one of their phones again. How disrespectful of them! I bought the phone hoping to use it as a modem permanently and go home to find the device heats up within 1 hour of usage and stops USB charging! I can't remain online for more than 2 hours without leaving the air conditioner on. What about the 3D display driver? No drivers! Down with HTC!

Good day,

I have got TCL Android TV model No. L55C8US with software version: V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680

I want to downgrade software version to: V8-R851T02-LF1V187.008562

My questions are:

1- Is it possible?

2- Where can I get this version (V8-R851T02-LF1V187.008562)?

3- how can install the version into the TV?

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Regards.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] coolek33:
Yes. It's possible.

Celesw.tcl.com/Test/software/V8-R851T02-LF1V187.rar

Why to downgrade? There's v322 near by.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gohamad:
Thank you for your reply. My friend has got same TV with older version and my observation is the Brightness and 4K Videos is better than in latest versions.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gohamad:
Would you tell me how do I proceed with installing the software to the TV?

I downloaded the software file that has provided by you and I copied to USB flash drive after format FAT-32.

when I'm trying update local mode it shows error box, it says that No avaliable update file please insert USB device with software package.

I'm very sure that the USB is healthy and it's recognized by the TV.

Please help.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] coolek33:
If it's in update.img format:

Hold power button on remote and choose power off. Or power off normally and und unplug the TV from from power.

Next with flash drive plugged to usb power on TV by press and hold the physical button on TV (not remote) until the led light on TV starts to flash. And wait.

It can question about older firmware so you have to agree.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gohamad:
Thank you for your reply. I did exactly what you advised. But still it didn't proceed with the installation. Please find video url it would explain the problem.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PHLNzio6p7ntoYMe4xaqSxfQHeMLquDB/view?usp=drivesdk

Please advise.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] Gohamad:
It's done! Software file (update.img) it has to be directly in USB-flash drive without sub-folder.

I recommend to install this version V8-R851T02-LF1V187.008562 instated of the latest one because the Brightness and 4K Videos is better and more clearly.

Thanks all.

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirin65:
Hello, I am interested in buying the P40 Pro. I know that the P40 pro shoots at 12.5 MP by default, but to do this, there is some upscaling. In theory this would result in worse pictures than the Mate 30 Pro. Would it be possible to shoot at a non-scaled resolution, such as 10mp as was the default of prior Huawei flagships, and prevent the upscaling? Thanks
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Klosterbruder:
There is no upscaling, there's downscaling.

Main camera provides 50 MP, just devide it by 4 - and you're at 12,5 MP.

So your fears about losses caused by upscaling are quite baseless. ;)

Picture quality is real great, just the Pro mode is close to useless, yet.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] kyero985:
Yep, P40P uses 4-in-1 pixel binning to output 12.5MP shots from its 50MP main sensor (50/4=12.5)

I was getting terrible photos versus my previous M30P but after all these firmware updates recently, can safely say it's much better now imo.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirin65:
ignore post
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirin65:
Gsmarena just published the review on the P40 Pro +. The image from the primary is indeed cropped. Only when users shoot at 50mp or at .85 zoom, you can see the uncropped image. This means that the image is indeed being up-scaled by around 20 percent. I don't understand why they just didn't keep it at 10.5MP to prevent this upscaling. Some Huawei phones allow you to shoot at different MPs, does this phone allowed any other image sizes besides the 12.5mp and 50mp while still maintaining aspect ratio?

[IMG="Default photos"]https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/20/huawei-p40-pro-plus/camera/gsmarena_001.jpg[/IMG]

^Default 12.5mp images

[IMG="Uncropped image"]https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/20/huawei-p40-pro-plus/camera/gsmarena_021.jpg[/IMG]

Shot at .85 zoom which removes the crop.

Thanks so much!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] blue_panther9_9:
. 85x zoom is not through their ultra wide sensor?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Kirin65:
I don't think so, in any case, when you shoot a 1x zoom at 50mp, and then 1x zoom at 12.5mp, the 12.5mp image is still cropped. About 20% of the image is cropped off, that means Huawei is doing some upscaling. I don't care about the image being cropped, the edges of most cellphone cameras are pretty much crap anyways, but I don't think they should upscale it.
