[P3300, MDA Compact III General] diskom:
Hi, I have a similar problem with my O2 Xda Orbit bought it from UK with broken GSM signal. unlocked it and upload the ROM version of WM5 to WM6, but not change anything. When I turned the phone with Bulgaria Bulgarian SIM card worked perfectly, but the UK has no signal with any sim card even with O2.

Please help?:confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mohsan:
Did you got fixed your issue? am facing same issue describe by you.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Morgrain:
So, according to the new store page, in comparison to the pixel 4/xl they cut

- Soli

- Faceunlock

- Pixel Neural Core (WHAT?! Why?!)

- Tele-Lens

- Highend Chipset

- Active Edge

- QHD+ Display (from 537 ppi down to 432 ppi )

- ip68 rating (ty u/kelderic, reddit)

And they 'gave' us

+ bigger battery

+ fingerprint (why not both?!)

+ 5G

+ wide (remember Google from last year? "We don't need wide, tele is good")

- Measly +2 GB Ram, still no storage available beyond 128 GB

What do you guys think 'bout that?

Compared to the Pixel 4/xl this just feels like a downgrade, even to the Pixel 3xl it's no real upgrade. Most people who think budget will not turn to this phone and the highend-spenders will not be pleased by this. I don't see googles angle hear, however they haven't shown any good angle recently anyway. And the heck did they remove the neural core? Plus getting a weaker soc.. just madnes.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TiltedAz:
Apparently neural core made face unlock work quicker so no loss there.

About the only thing I would prefer is higher ppi but I sure don't want to spend $1000 to get it.

My next phone will be 5G so pixel 4/xl aren't an option.

If it's not enough bang for the buck then just wait for black Friday and/or opt for the 4a 5G.

Google phones have never been the best phone for everyone.

Most likely the machine learning Ai stuff is included in the snapdragon 765 so no more dedicated chip is necessary. I would not worry too much
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkoroje:
No it is not included. Where did you get that idea?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-765-specs-1059745/

"Finally, Qualcomm’s fifth-gen AI engine is ported over partially intact, with a Hexagon 696 DSP with a dedicated Tensor Accelerator. The setup sports 5.5TOPS of AI compute."

So still I don't know what Google are using but they wouldn't get rid of it if it impacts performance much. So I don't worry
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TiltedAz:
The Samsung S20FE will be competition at the same MSRP, includes Snapdragon 865, 120hz display, 4500mah battery. Appears to be on sale for $599. Of course it isn't a clean google phone.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
The pro is the camera will be brilliant and it's running stock android.

Pretty much everything else about the pixel 5 sucks
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
Yeah, good battery life, more than enough processing power for non gamers really sucks
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Good battery life remains to be seen.

I stand by my original statement, however I suppose I could have made it more clear...for a mid ranger it's fine.

For a flagship (which it isnt). It sucks.

Better?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimv1983:
Pros:

A pure Google software experience

Fingerprint sensor is back( no more awful face unlock)

1080p screen

4080mAh battery

Aluminum back (well, mostly)

Cons:

That awful hole punch (that has me considering canceling my order)

Ultra wide camera replacing the telephoto

Too big

Slow processor

Active edge is gone

Sure, we technically don't know what the battery life will be but just knowing a little bit about phone hardware and some common sense indicates that the battery life should be pretty good.

The biggest battery drain on any phone is the screen mainly due to the screen resolution. So take the Pixel 4 XL for example. The battery life wasn't too bad but not great either. Now increase the size of the battery 10%, decrease the number of pixels by 42%(that alone is huge), decrease the overall screen area by 11%, add in a slightly more power efficient processor, remove Soli and remove face unlock and you basically have the Pixel 5. The only thing really working against the Pixel 5 in terms of battery life is the 5G which I'm going to turn off anyways. I have no concerns about the battery life of the Pixel 5.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
The more interesting comparison is to the 4a. A significant price difference but both are a similar size and real world performance would be similar too.

This just leaves wireless charging, IP and maybe 90hz as the tangible differences you would notice day to day. Maybe it will feel more premium in hand too but that is hard to know right now.

I got the 4a with the intention of giving it to one of my parents with the 5 landed, I am now hesitating though as the 4a is terrific and I am not sure the 5 is £250 better.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] roystoys:
great battery life great phone.

I have only had my pixel 5 for a week and i am super impressed with the battery life. I have been getting 3 days out of it . At the moment it has 25 % left and it's used 8 hours and 26 minutes of screen use , that's using google to simply surf the net and as I am a distribution driver i use Google Maps daily, I also make multiple calls daily and use Bluetooth all day for my vans multi media unit and my zenwatch 3 all day I am 61 years old so I have had tons of phones and I have to say i think this phone stacks up with the best including the Asus rog 3
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] toneneuewin:
Pros: Battery, form factor/weight, software.

Con: Price for what is being offered. The speakers are just OK. The gap issue from production quality. Luckily I was able to get my P5 for net cost of about 461 including tax after stacking a bunch of promos, etc. Also no gap issue on mine.

I'm not an iPhone fanatic so I have nothing to say about the iPhone 12. The only phone that I currently have and would recommend is the S20FE, but not at MSRP AND if it doesn't have these touch screen issues that people are talking about. Only thing with Samsung phones is that you have to spend additional time to customize to your liking and reducing bloat. I was also pleasantly surprised with the camera qualify after making settings adjustments to reduce saturation and softening in photos.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
After using mine for about a week, I am kind of regretting trading in my 4XL for one reason....the ear speaker quality. It is literally the worst sounding earpiece and is extremely quiet relative to my 4XL. I was driving on the highway yesterday and could barely hear my client on the other end. Had to plug in my wired headset. Unacceptable. I will probably send in for a new unit to see if its any better, but everyone seems to have the same comment as I.

I can settle with almost every concession Google took, and I do think the fingerprint is a big welcome back feature. I hate face unlock especially with having to wear masks. Never made sense to me. The hole punch doesnt both me.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dirtyreturn:
As far as Active edge is concerned. I guess, apparently the feature isn't 'official' on the Pixel 5.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
I've sold my FE for the Pixel. The screen issues are annoying albeit the last update seems to have sorted it, but I just cannot live with the Samsung nonsense like cannot delete Samsung photos app and playing a dance to get to Google Photos

It's a great phone the FE but not when you are Googled up for home and work and can't be bothered working around 2 of everything
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] toneneuewin:
The Pixel 5 is great. It just works out of the box. I'm enjoying mine and it has been a couple of weeks. You can debloat Samsung, but obviously that's additional steps. It's not hard, but quite frankly I just don't want to invest time with custom ROMs, adb commands, etc. Those days are long gone lol.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
No me neither, I don't even want to root phones anymore can't be bothered

The FE would be a winner of Samsung ran stock Android

A bit true..but this would never happen. Htc had 1 model with 2 versions ...one with htc software and one with google only ...
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] litetaker:
This may seem silly because OnePlus Nord is sold in UK as well so there is no need to buy it from India. But there is a bit of a price difference that makes it around £80 cheaper to buy in India and I can purchase it there when I visit soon (all precautions taken during travel of course, given the current situation). So with that said, will the Indian version work in UK? Will it be compatible with the networks here? Is there any downsides? I guess I can expect VoLTE to not work as per another thread. Is that it?

Otherwise, I shall avoid being such a cheapskate and buy it from UK! :D
[OnePlus Nord Questions & Answers] harpreet.s:
India version has all bands needed to work in UK. Specifically band n78 for 5G that is currently used by UK operators. Volte , yes will depend but there should be ways to make it work. Flashing EU build may be one option.

I was suggested to me to get the active 2 for the new fitness features back in February because of the ECG. I received the updates on my watch last night for the new features. I couldn't fine the app for the life of me so I looked it up. One site suggested that in order to have these new features I would have to have a compatible Samsung phone to get these. Just trying to get a confirmation that I would have to change phones. I have a LG v30 at the moment with no want to upgrade as I am still paying on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I was able to get the ecg installed right off with no problems. I am not going to install bp as bp lab that I have been using for the last 6 months has been working without issues. But when I use ecg it mostly will not read my finger but when it does...5% of the time...it just shows solid vertical lines like it is completely glitching out and always stops after 5 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rohit83:
Do you have any case or protector on?

If not, then many others reported a malfunctioning ecg reader, so the best bet would be to get it repaired from your nearest samsung Service center.

I use rom 1.37.832.4 CHT( Chinese version).

I 'd like to make my phonebook format is :

AXXXXX

AXXXXX

AXXXXX

BXXXXX

BXXXXX

CXXXXX

CXXXXX

CXXXX

DXXXXX

.

.

.

ZXXXXX

(XXXX are chinese word)

when I want to search TXXXXX(XXXX are chinese word)

I always press "down bottom" ..A B C D E F G H I .......T...

it is stupid to search contact list.

I have try to use number to serach , but I forget contact number.

..

main point:

have any idea to search the initial T in any way?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
If I'm understanding you right, all you need to do is either tap the corresponding letter in the alphabet list to the right of your 'All People' screen (this is the standard contacts screen), or bring up a keyboard (by tapping in the 'Enter a name' box), and beginning to type the name you want.

It's as easy as that in the English version... surely can't be that different in the Chinese one??!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hkpeople:
THANKS..I bring up a keyborad and type initial word I want.

since I use O2mini that search contact easily~

Hello i think is not so easy. On my S9+ i have to make many things to change the csc.
[Samsung Galaxy A30s Questions & Answers] Jerry8538:
Here is a brief guide -

1 - Download the firmware of the CSC you want.

2 - Open Odin and put the firmware, but don't put HOME_CSC, you need to use CSC, and remember to flash all the files, so add the AP, BL etc.

3 - When the phone boots after flashing, it will ask you to reset the device, so reset it. (If you click the wrong button, just reboot to recovery, and reset)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] tainka:
When you looking at a white background, on about 40% brightness in a small angle, is your screen has even white color from top to bottom?

I have a feeling that on the top, the screen has a little of a pinkish hue and towards the bottom a small amount of yellowish hue....

Anyone else?

Maybe it is bacause of the factory screen protector? It somehow reflects light?,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] i9apps:
Wired, but I'm facing the same problem.

I have yellowish tint in the bottom of the screen, and also on the top of the screen. It's really stand out when you looking at gray background.

Very disappointing.

So many ppl hating. I dont get it. Im leaving a Samsung phone for the P5 and couldn't be happier. Ppl gonna say the S20fe is a better deal but they forget that they have to deal with the horrible OneUI OS, and short device support for updates among other things. I haven't had a Pixel since the OG and I'm really looking forward to going back to stock Android.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acreo Aeneas:
Even though I pre-ordered and this is not strictly "hate" per-se. I wish the screen was 6.2" to 6.5" with a 4500 mAh+ battery. Part of me feels the 4080 mAh battery now is not going to give it any better battery life than my 3a XL.

[MENTION=3391399]TokedUp[/MENTION]

Samsung promised previously that all phones from the Samsung S10 and beyond is getting 3 years of OS updates and security updates. So the S20 FE should be getting well Android 11, 12, 13, and patches. I also can't stand other UIs other than stock or near-stock. My least favorite was not OneUI but rather Huawei's EMUI.

Basically, science says it shouldn't be dangerous to your health, but fake science seems to get more views and people buying into it everyday. It's non-ionizing radiation. Also, the frequencies 5G tech uses has been used by many other devices over the last 30 years.

Some tech/devices that have been using 5 GHz...radar dishes, cordless phones (like the ones you used to use at home), WiFi, etc.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcloadletter1:
5G uses 24 GHz which is a mmWave and has nothing to do with wifi. Higher freq 95 GHz mmWaves are used in weapons. Low power phones shouldn't be dangerous, but the higher power towers could be, but it's too early to tell. It's the reason some countries stopped or prevented 5G deployment.

Besides, 5G is an $100 on the 4a. I would rather have $100 than a tech I can't use.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andyfoster:
Generally speaking, 'hating' on a product based solely on its published specs is absurd - either the company in question have made a device that you want to buy or they haven't.

However, Google 'made' the only handsets I've owned with stock Android which just worked. After my Nexus 5 screen broke, I bought the HTC One M8 - not cheap, but the specs were everything I could want (at the time). Unfortunately, the software blew chunks. I had a OnePlus X with a near-stock OS - but the software (particularly the camera) was buggier than a buggy thing in a buggy contest.

What I want is-

A google phone (stock Android that just works and has all the latest updates) with decent specs (would have been happy to pay a bit more for flagship CPU, but 765 will be adequate as I'm not paying flagship prices for it),

Ability to fit in my Dainese leather motorcycle jacket pocket (~Pixel 4 or smaller)

Ideally removable storage (uSD slot), or an option to spec 256GB (happy to pay more for storage)

Front facing stereo speakers (don't mind having top and bottom bezels if there's a good reason)

3.5mm headphone socket (I have decent bluetooth earbuds, but not as good as my wired earbuds that fit so much easier in my pocket)

Fingerprint unlock (ideally rear)

Decent battery life

Wireless charging

Video out over USB-C

This list in broadly in order of priority.. Obviously I pre-ordered the Pixel 5 before the launch event finished (or at least before it finished streaming for me - was somewhat laggy), but am disappointed that they left out some of my wants. Also no google watch again.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
I wish we could get a pixel phone with more flagship specs , I was really hoping for a pixel 5 with a 6.8 or at least a 6.5 inch display. I prefer a big display but i hate all the ****ty uis that you need to deal with to have a phone with a big display .... I really wish there was another option for pure android other then the pixel. My note would be a worlds better phone if it was running pure android and have options to install any Samsung features you may need.

Dont really hate the new Pixel 5 just wish it were a bit bigger and faster

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
Why not ?? lol :) but that really wasn't the point i was going for. Using the better current gen CPU 865G over the 765G would mean a yes faster phone but will allow it to last longer and still perform good a few years from now. that's how i see it so you may not agree but it still would be nice to have seen a bigger screened pixel with the 865G and not the Pixel 4a 5G

I don't hate it for what it is, a mid ranger with a killer camera. Still think it might be a bit overpriced given its competitors (s20 FE comes to mind)

I had every nexus since the Samsung galaxy nexus but I haven't had a pixel since my 2xl because they have all sucked since then but at least they had flagship chips in them. I had high hopes to get one this year but for that I need alot more than a mid ranger with a killer camera

The pixel 5 should have had:

At least 6.5" screen (minimum)

12gb of ram

512bg storage

Snap 865 plus

Among other things...

I guess Google got tired of getting their asses kicked by Samsung and gave up on flagships...too bad considering they are Google for God's sake, they should be on the bleeding edge not building mid rangers.

Just my .02

Sorry, I was thinking of the sub-6 bands and the mid-tier bands (2.5-3.7 GHz range) T-Mo is adding. I completely forgot about he mmWave bands. Probably because my carrier of choice T-Mobile is mainly sub-6 and Verizon is the only one with mmWave spectrum.

24 GHz, though mmWave was 25-39 Ghz? 95 GHz weapon, so the ADS/ADS II that the US military was/is experimenting with? That's a lot closer to microwaves if I remember correctly than 5G mmWave.
