[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] hotrodwinston:
Much of att "5g" is actually LTE-A (4g). They branded it "5Ge" the same way they branded their 3.5G (hsdpa+) network as "4g" when everyone else started rolling out LTE. since the 8T is not updated by att the icons won't be changed like they did with older phones that got "upgraded" to "5g" by changing icons in a software update. (I have a friend that is certain his galaxy s9 is 5g after att pushed an update)
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] georgiapi:
How do I test it? Do I need a full signal to do so. Speedtest.net? What speed am I looking for.

I have a Google fi in the other sim slot and it reads 5G and would like to compare if I can get a little guidance.

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Messir_Woland:
Today my V20 H910 died on me in a rather strange way.

I've been running it on rooted Oreo (older version, not sure which specific, I know I had a made up LG logo to cover that strange "security breach" warning that usually appears after rooting) for the last 8 months or so and it worked flawlessly.

Today I started playing some game and noticed that phone had 6% battery left I plugged it in. After 15 mins or so, my game froze and screen started fading in whitish color. At this point it also became nearly unresponsive to on screen and power buttons. I ended up pulling the battery and once reinserted the phone vibrated as usual on start, however there were only black backlit screen instead of usual LG logo. Further down the road I heard AT&T ringtone, meaning the phone has booted, but the screen remained black. Eventually the phone rebooted and repeated all this a couple of times, after what it stopped going further of couple of backlight blinks. It also would get quite hot while charging.

I tried using an older charger (from a Samsung phone, that does not provide the fast charging), and it appears not to get hot while charging and after some time I could get a vibration after pressing the power button, but still black screen and it wouldn't load any further. Also I measured battery voltage before putting it on the older charger and it was around 2.7 volts. After about hour on that charger it came up to 3.4 volts. After attempted power on with charger plugged in it got hot again and reduced the voltage to 2.9.

If somebody had a similar issue, please share how did you tackle it. Thank you.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerzzy:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Help Please. I need help identifying the name to this piece of hardware. It's directly behind the screen of the tablet if you were to take it off. It's the only piece of silicon/circuit board. I need to replace the LCD display connector. I have already replaced the flex cable because I thought that was the problem when the screen stopped working in the beginning. Help would be great! I've been searching for over 2 weeks. I've even called Geek squad and several other companies to no avail. ~Michael
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lagann888:
Hi everyone. I recently long time follower, new poster. I have been very interested in the Mate 40 Series. I'm Currently using the P30 Pro.

I recently Came across a Chinese Youtuber hokoonho who has been making very good hands on videos of these handsets.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0xrV-HJesU&t=1084s Mate 40 Pro+ vs Mate 40 Pro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DoXyH1AdMU Mate 40 RS

The videos are in cantonese. I speak a little cantonese, so I understand about 80% of what he is saying.

I was Initially interested in the Mate 40 Pro+ for the 10x optical zoom, however, the Mate 40 Pro+ does not have the same ultrawide as the Pro or RS instead having a freeform lens with less distortion, however is a narrower aperture.

Specs: (same great 50MP f/1.9 for all 3)

Mate 40 Pro - 20mp Ultrawide f/1.8 , 12mp f/3.4 5x optical Zoom

Mate 40 Pro+ - 20mp Ultrawide f/2.4 (freeform), 12mp f/2.4 3x optical zoom, 8mp f/4.4 10x optical zoom

Mate 40 RS - 20mp Ultrawide f/1.8 , 12mp f/2.4 3x optical zoom, 8mp f/4.4 10x optical zoom

Per the youtuber in his use experience, the ultrawide on the Pro+ suffers in low light conditions compared to the Pro which is as expected especially with higher noise levels around the edges. He is also saying, despite the higher megapixel count and brighter aperture of the 5x optical of the Pro, that it cannot compare with the zoom capabilities of the 10x optical. Again as expected.

What do you guys think? Would you sacrifice for a dimmer ultrawide to gain 10x optical zoom on the Pro+, or go best of both worlds but pay for the RS in which you get the 10x optical zoom and the brighter ultrawide?

I know the P40 Pro Plus also has 10x optical zoom also, but the video performance is such a huge leap on this Mate 40 series, and I take videos all the time.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalmonkey:
I never knew the Pro had a fast lens on the UWA , but I will still go for the Plus+ .The RS seems the perfect choice, but the price is too much.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sootyvrs:
For me the Pro+ has the wider ultra wide lens 14mm vs 18mm (Pro) which makes this much more versatile camera setup albeit slower f/2.4 aperture.

I moved away from Huawei P30 Pro when they only offered a narrower field of view with the Mate 30 Pro. P40 Pro etc..

The Pro+ could make me consider replacing my Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra but waiting to see more examples of how good the ultra wide lens is
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Arr6:
Has the Mate 40 Pro + been released? I am finding very little to no information on it. Only find info on the Mate 40 Pro.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dkn91:
I know this has been raised so many times and trust me I have read through many of them.

Problem:

My tab jus wont start. I am able to charge it but when i try to power it on, it always stays on Google screen. :(

Things I tried:

1. boot into recovery, fails back to Google screen

- I am able to get to the bootloader screen by pressing vol down and power button. but then when i select recovery mode, it reboots and gets stuck again on Google screen

2. reinstall stock image

- got on google's website and downloaded latest NExus 2013 img aka razor-mob30x

- got all the required sdk and usb driver for windows

- booted device to bootloader screen. the Lock state was LOCKED

- connected device and used fastboot oem unlock and it did unlock the device

- used the img flash-all.bat and reinstalled the stock img. it took few mins bt it did finish install and automatically rebooted device

- my hopes were so up until, it stayed on Google screen again :crying::crying::crying::crying:

I really want to get it working again. what are my options here?

as next steps I am thinking to use twrp img and flash that and see if i can enter twrp recovery

any, literally any thoughts and ideas are welcome. I am gonna actively watch this thread and try my best to respond at the earliest

Tried this today.

1. restock2.bat worked like charm. it did its magic and rebooted the device. it went all the way to android setup after it booted up but i stopped thr as per instructions

2. rebooted in bootloader and kicked off addons.bat

3. installed twrp, stock fix1 and magisk, no to kernel since i wanted stock only

4. device booted and stuck on Google boot screen again :(

5. forced booted again in bootloader and used restock2.bat again. went smooth but still boots and stays on google's boot screen.

I guess i should not have used addons.bat? attached log file

ELAN, the touch control chip, does not respond. No worries, it is fixable. If you have to opt for the #2 then note:

this device is exceptionally easy to disassembly

you must disconnect the battery's connector first

you have to be very gentle with the silver ribbon connector

finally, don't forget to re-connect the battery

:fingers-crossed:

Interestingly, I observed that if the silver ribbon cable is

completely disconnected

then Android actually boots OK, see att.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dkn91:
Is that the reason why the tab wont go beyond Google screen also? Agreed, the touch screen is not working either when i get to twrp recovery.

I have done hw repair before on phone so this should be doable. will check back in when i try this out.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dkn91:
UPDATE:

tried Opt #1 and that didnt work.

tried Opt #2, everything was easy and simple to work with and I got the tablet boot up :highfive::highfive:

Boots up nicely now without any trouble. thank you so much for all the help.

One thing i am still seeing is

no touch response

.

steps I took:

I removed the silver touch ribbon. booted the tab, and it boots up nicely. no touch response

inserted the ribbon back in and booted tab again. boots up nicely, no touch response

removed the ribbon from both connectors and reconnected, boots up nicely, no touch response.

removed the ribbon from both connector and switched directions. boots up nicely, no touch response.

is this a case of bad cable? Do i need to order one? where can I find it, ebay?

Once again, I cant thank you enough with where I am with this tablet. Currently I have connected keyboard+mouse using OTG cable.

To get where you can re-flash.

1. Hold Vol Down button and Soft Reset. This will get you to the tri-colored screen. Then you can connect USB cable to make connection.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
This so called entering bootloader which asks you to format is really a Hard Reset, really!

Entering bootloader only displays information about SPL amongst others!

So if you are struggling to Hard Reset, you've just got it!

Manually entering the Bootloader is done by pressing Volume Down button and performing a soft reset at the same time.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Lgdude:
Hey there, so recently I got a Note8 since my mom switched to a Galaxy Note20 Ultra and she gave me her old phone since I had a J3 before. She had it for 2 years and now when it was given to me I found some extreme battery draining issues, I watched MrWhoseTheBoss' video and in 1 hour the Note8 drained to 91% however in 1 hour MY Note8 drains to about 60%-40%. Also when I'm not using it the battery drops like I'm playing Asphalt 8. Any solution to this? I checked battery usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. The highest usage is Instagram at 2-hour drops 20% but I only use it at night and this battery problem is during the day. For most of the school, I keep it in my pocket and only use to listen to music. The battery still drops extremely fast. My friend has an S8 and his battery is much better than mine.

All I need to know is if this is a software issue, or a hardware issue as the battery sometimes runs out and I boot it up to 15% or something close to that.

If it's a software issue please help me down in the comments, I have turned off location, limited CPU speed to 70%, and disabled background usage.

Thanks.

My note8 is the same and the owners they had it before me, i don't know how much they played games with it, but how much i know about tech my note8 have never changed that battery and never was open back cower and the battery is still good up to two days average use, but i don't use apps like twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any social apps, only Viber that's all, the twitter, Facebook, or other thing i check on web-browser and that why battery should bee good.

The apps i mention up, i consider them partly spyware, battery-mongers, personal data movement mongers.

Btw, make a screenshot of your phone screen,\battery usage after the battery has drain to about 20% so we can see if we can have any conclusion to it, and pres this code (*#21*#) and call in keypad, make screenshot to see if someone is lurking on that phone on background.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I've been using the Verizon branded Note 20 Ultra for over 2 months and the battery life started off great. My 4G speeds were consistently good and in many cases faster than 5G on other carriers. Since getting the 5G update in mid October, data speeds were the same on 5G as 4G and actually worse in areas where it switches between the two. Battery life is now terrible with about 20-30% less battery after 12 hours than before. Is there a way to disable 5G until the buildout is more consistent? I've tried using LTE/CDMA instead of Global under network settings but I'm not seeing much difference.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] electronixtar:
When connected to a computer via USB, there are two options, one is charge the battery one is not. But frequent plug in/off Kaiser with USB will frequently switch charge/uncharge status. Will this harm battery life?

Is there any smarter power plans, like whatever USB is connected, charge when battery level is below 2%.

Is there a setting/software could do this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
There's an idea for an application there. It shouldn't be too hard to cobble together either (famous last words). But the important factor is:

"Will this harm the battery life?"

If this is the case I will try and create an app, if there isn't one out there. If there is no harm to the battery, an app would be useless.

How has your battery life been for you all?

I'm about to get this phone and coming from my Redmi Note 7, I regularly see 9.5 -10.5hr screen times on 1 charge with average 2 day battery life. (This is with turning Data/WiFi on when I need them and brightness on auto)

I saw this guy's thread below and am curious how the phone will perform in RE: to battery life.

Hi I also came from Redmi Note 7. LG V35 is way better performance-wise. The RN7 was laggy as hell especially when a Facebook messenger DM pops up. Can't play Pubg or COD on the highest setting. The LGV35 can do that and more. So don't hesitate. Camera, Display, Speed, Wireless Charging, Fast Charging, HDMI output to TV, HD Netflix, DAC etc. are some features I really enjoy. Battery life I will hand it to the Redmi Note 7, but the V35 charges so fast it has not been a problem to me. 6-month user here and bought it second hand.

Thank you cmlosaria!

I look forward to replacing my Redmi with the V35 next week when phone #3 arrives (see my other thread about the two defective ones I returned last week).

I knew V35 can mirror the display to the TV but I didn't know it also does HDMI to TV! That's news to me and definitely solidifies my decision to get this phone.

I was comparing it to the Mi 9 and Mi 9 Lite. Glad I didn't get any of those two phones!
