[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] scales11:
Hello all.

I have a Oneplus 6 and for the past year have had reception problems. I have had AT&T for many years and my previous phone (Oneplus One) and my current (Oneplus 6) did work just fine (between 2015 and 2018). However, since mid 2019, I have had dropped calls and almost every call I make/receive from my house (located in suburbs of Chicago) the person on the other end can not hear me well (I can always hear them just fine). I have updated my phone OS with the official Oxygen versions as they were released. My thought was that AT&T changed settings on their 3G towers and were denying me the ability to make voice calls over 4G (I can see that when i make a call the icon changes to HSDPA....maybe I am missing something?

So, after countless phone calls to AT&T, I decided to try Google Fi. I have been using both sim cards in my device for a few months now. Google Fi has been good, much better than AT&T, but lately it too has been giving me similar issues.

I am posting here to see if perhaps anyone has any idea on whether or not a new rom (Lineage OS or similar) will help. I am not new to flashing roms, having used Lineage and Cyanogen for years.

1. Would a new rom help my situation? How so?

2. Is there a particularly Stable or popular rom that the Oneplus 6 community gravitates towards?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TexnoViking:
Funny that you mention that. I have returned to Google Fi after a year and the mobile internet quality has been worse than ever! It just does not work most of the time. Either says LTE, but with an exclamation mark or straight up does not work. I am on latest stock and also wondering if lineage would help.

It seems like putting simcard into sim slot 2 gives marginally better performance? Not sure.

When installing opengapps, you can replace stock carrier services with google's. Might help. I will try it today

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE A DIAMOND WORKING ON THE 850 3G BAND FOR ATT?

I have been told that the "DIAM130" diamond will work for the 850 3g att band but I am yet to have anyone confirm this! I really wanna get a diamond but 3g is a must for me, so please let us know ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

Is this guy serious? Can we just like, vote to ban him now? 2 posts in the Diamond section asking the exact same question, so here's the answer you get.

Yes, I HAVE MY DIAMOND RUNNING ON 3G ON BOTH AT&T FREQUENCIES, 850 AND 1900. It runs perfect with no issues whatsoever. So Lewi, all you have to do is buy any tri-band or quad-band Diamond and not modify it one bit, it'll work flawlessly in the United States. Go get it buddy, it's yours for the taking!

(note: for any user besides lewi, this will not work. don't waste your money.)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Aadil Gillani:
I have seen many people on XDA telling that flashing the latest zip file of your ROM on both of your slots can cause many of the bugs related performance and stuttering to be fixed. So I thought why not test this method so I tested this method and below are the results after 3 days of using:

Grab some popcorns ?

Method:

You have to flash the latest zip file via your system official recovery using SD card method once it is successfully flashed then you have to to reboot your phone go back into the recovery and then flash the same zip again and then reboot your phone.

I tried this with the August Patch Zip File.

Conclusion:

I followed this method on my A2 Lite and now my system is much more snappier also many of the visual bugs glitches and ram management issues have been solved also no data was lost this way.

Read further only if you are still confused:

If somebody is confused about why am I flashing the same zip twice it is because whenever we reboot our system the slot changes this is because our device as an A/B partition and Everytime we install and update our partition is switched and that was the only reason we were able to save A2 Lite from being bricked after OTA because the other slot still had the Android Pie update.

If somebody is still confused on how this A/B partition works this is how it works:

Today I just flashed the last stock version available (miui_DAISYGlobal_V11.0.10.0.QDLMIXM_55c39d9793_10.0) and I have the same feelings that you're talking about your phone, is working good so far and without the double installation... maybe this version is the chosen one??
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaimilo:
Wait a couple of days and ram management will become as bad as was

I said this doing every update because i like to install a custom kernel to fix these problems and I can't do ota

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] masterbyte:
it is possible to do the same with fastboot rom?

Yes you can, it is almost the same or even better

Should be a post with a link to a page with all roms

i only update my phones (3gb32gb and 4gb/64gb) using fastboot rom because i am using magisk arCore and i am lazy to disable and enable all over again... :P

so in both phones is slot A active.

I flash the rom using the fastboot rom and when finish rebooting i verify again and still slot A is active.

i have to manualy do anithing? this happens in both phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I'm having a weird issue with my unlocked N20U on verizon. I'm not getting text messages sometimes. Most of the time when I send them they go through, but I do not receive all of them. Does anyone have any ideal what I might can do to fix this?

The few things I've done so far are:

Switched to Samsung's message app over Google's. That seemed to work at first.

I switched to LTE/CDMA in network settings.

I downloaded Google Carrier services which probably does nothing but I did it anyway.

I don't know what else I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] BlinkThinks:
Is your phone's date and time correct? Try setting your date and time manually instead of auto.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Yes, it's correct. I haven't set it to manual yet but I will test it.

I'm going to contact Verizon and see if perhaps a new sim will fix it. I have no idea what could be the issue. I would understand better if it just didn't work at all, but the fact it does work sometimes and not others is strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] themisterwilson:
My son was having similar problems until he enabled the RCS under messages. I think he was using Google Messages, but I think it can be done under Samsung's messaging app as well. Hope that helps.

Edit: same scenario, VZW with the unlocked version of the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Thanks, I already have it enabled :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] themisterwilson:
Was worth a try I guess. He was getting messages from his mother's iPhone but nothing from me until he set that up, and then everything came through at once. Sorry it didn't help in your case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I may do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'll contact Verizon for a new sim, or see if they have any ideas about what might fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] themisterwilson:
Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bmk007:
Idk if you've resolved it or contacted them yet. Either way if you need the sun I recommend googling 5G verizon sim and clicking the link to the verizon page for it. I contacted a few reps and they told me I couldn't order a new one online but had to go in the store. Store is too far so shipping is easier. I was able to select the 5G sim for the line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
I know if the phone doesn't register with their servers properly, you won't get access to their CDMA bands. Which results in the same issues as if you have like a OP7P on Verizonm you can send but not receive messages. You have to have them provision the line as CDMA-LESS so it sends your SMS over LTE as well, and viola it works. (OP7P doesn't have the proper CDMA radio to access it, but the OP8P does but it still doesn't work unless Verizon sells you the phone). Worth a shot. SMS works on my unlocked N20U on Verizon but my line was previously already set to CDMA-LESS as I came from a OP7P.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I did a factory reset last night and it seems to be working better today but I still experienced issues. I'm going to get a new sim. Now if I could just get the chat service on Verizon's website to work. I might have to call them because the chat service seems broken.

Do you have a direct link for the 5g sim page? I searched google but didn't see it. I'll keep looking.

[edit] I found the page, but it's broken. It loads and then goes blank. I tried it in 3 different browsers and it does the same thing in all of them. I always have trouble with Verizon's site. It's complete garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bmk007:
http://https://www.verizon.com/support/4g-sim-card-faqs/ That's the link I used and under section 4. I logged into my account and it had me select the line. I have been having issues with Verizon support and account pages for the past month or so as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Yea, that's what I found. When I get to the slect a line part it shows while it's loading but then the whole page goes blank. I've tried 4 different browsers now and the same happens on them all. Verizon needs a new web admin because their site is broken and has been for ages. Crazy that such a large company could have such a broken site. Now I'm going to try the app. If that doesn't work I guess I'll call them tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
This is what happens. It goes from this: https://gyazo.com/66cc63bc7d67af551edb28ae491f7b12

All 4 browsers do this.

[edit] I was finally able to reach support via the myVerizon app. I have a new sim on the way.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] superpascu:
Hi all,

I have experienced this problem twice in two weeks time when my mobile is inside my pocket.

The screen, previusly blocked, turns black with the red ball and the white ones dancing in circles. After 10-15 minutes it appears a keyboard and after preasing my screen unlock code, a blue message appears saying "decripting" and takes to a kind of "recovery mode".

Then I choose "reboot" and It works again.

Poket mode is on, so accidental things should not happen when It is inside...

Any clues? It is like it encriptes itself for some reason...

I attach some picutures.
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] guitarsmurf2501:
I had the same thing about a week ago and then 2 days ago whilst using the phone it just froze. Couldn't even use the power button at all. In the end it rebooted in the same manner you described.

Could it be a software issue? My OP2 had the same freezing issues back in the day.

I am waiting for the 10.5.5 update, but I am afraid this problem is something oneplus has never heard before, I mean regarding this new model so I don't expect the update to solve It.

Hello,

i have a note 8 with 64gb memory and originally wanted to run it with the ligthrom v50. I installed twrp and the rom, unfortunately celluar network didn't work after that. So i decided to go back to the stock rom.

I downloaded the latest fw via samfirm and wanted to flash it via odin. This worked too, but the phone only showed 16Gb memory, so I read that a wipe/factory reset would solve the problem. Unfortunately without success. When I reset the phone, it is always stuck in boot mode. If I then go to recovery I always see "dm-verity verification failed".

I tried to fix this error with flashing e.g. according to this instruction, but unfortunately without success.

i tried other tutorials, but nothing helped. as soon as i do a wipe/factory reset the phone won't work anymore...

Is my cell phone really gone now?

I have the Ipaq 612c, its meant to be USB2 according to the HP specs, but none of my programes can trasfer data at USB 2 speeds.

Active sync takes 2min 26seconds, to transfer a 40mb file. Same file on a normal USB flash drive takes 6 seconds!

is there a patch or driver that i'm meant to install?

Thx

[Sable] defcomg:
You Need To Set Active Sync Mode on the phone to Rndis not Serial

[Edit] ok found where the option is, (under USB to PC, in the connections tab)

but the file transfer was almost exactly the same speed (same file, from same PC to the same data store on the ipaq)

I posed this question in various places but no one has come back to me with an answer.

The Note 20 Ultra boasts a 2X AMOLED touchscreen, according to the specs. But what exactly does this mean and what (if any) are the advantages over a standard AMOLED variant?

TIA

Maybe it's some sort of marketing waffle. Apple do it all the time, I mean all that ludicrous Retina Display hype for example!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] hoss_n2:
Dynamic Amoled screens are healthier on eyes because they have blue light filter built in the hardware of the screen itself + they have more Natural color accuracy not some what fake & over vivid like old Amoled displays .

But starting from S20 series there is 2x Dynamic Amoled because the refresh rate is doubled 120hz vs 60HZ but color accuracy and eye safety is the same
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] apprentice:
Thanks for the detailed reply!

A bit disappointing though that the 2X only refers to the display refresh. So I guess I was right in that it's just a bit of marketing fluff, as other manufacturers didn't give their 120Hz displays a differentiating name.

Still, at least I know it won't make me go blind when I use the phone at night in bed (though something else might lol)

Do we know the cutoff for PWM on the 4a? I know some devices only utilize PWM below a specific brightness level.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] SGH-i200:
All OLEDisplays I know, use PWM when dimmed below 100 %. PWM is used from 99,9% on ("≤ 99 % brightness setting") and the frequency slows down proportional to the dimming of the display.

Why PWM is used? DC dimming distorts the color reproduction of OLEDisplays! "Analysis: DC Dimming vs. PWM – Can you dim AMOLED displays without the flickering?" https://www.notebookcheck.net/Analy...displays-without-the-flickering.423121.0.html

Good info, but dc dimming on amoled is actually available. My oneplus 7 pro (and most recent oneplus devices) has an option for dc dimming which doesn't screw with colors much at all.

Cleanly flashed with Data format used the TWRP 3.3.1-0 like for LOS16, instead of 3.4.0-0 with BiTGapps and Magisk.

No more unwanted appearences on the screen when turning. :good:

When focussing on a text the field now shows the letters. :good:

Camera, as you wrote, not working at all. so what

Will carry on testing.

LOS16 will be abandoned, or not?

Is there any battery efficiency improvements with these updates?

Running LOS 14 without gapps -1% per minute. Using the tablet as a remote mouse/keyboard for pc
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Valera1978:
I think yes. start to the los 16 was done for several reasons:

- I had the experience of switching to the android 10 on 3 different series (exynos7870, qcom800 and qcom820) - in all cases with working android 9 it was a huge number of problems, switch to android 10 I think the most difficult in my memory

- Old device config, every new version has some problems, so it was easier to jump from working 14.1 to 16.0

- faster build :) 16 minutes on my computer for los 16 vs 26 minutes

Right now in the los 16 we have more problems, then in los 17, and i don't see any reason to spend a weeks for fix it. Better focus on los 17 for some code clean up.
