Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] G.I. Jane:
I don't know what else to do without returning the phone under warranty or doing a hard reset first to see if that fixes the problem. I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T in July 2020 and the phone can only connect to a 2G network (Edge's E is at the top instead of 4G in one). I have not changed anything and am afraid that it is broken in my mobile if possible. I am using the Google products and not the installed Mi products, I have Android 10 with Miui 12.0.3 (the last one).

What I've already tried: I've been in contact with T-Mobile because my son has the exact same phone and subscription. It does have 4G just like I did before. All settings are the same, in terms of T-mobile server, preference for LTE networks is set, etc. In the Settings everything is the same. According to T-mobile, there are no problems with the network. I have done another system update (to Miui 12.0.3). Mobile data turned on and off. Airplane mode and reboot and back on. APN reset and then phone started did not help either. When selecting network automatically, I turned off and manually search, but then the mobile only finds 2G networks.

Then a clear moment and see if it is the SIM card, so my SIM card in my husband's iPhone and yes it just indicated connected to 4G. Then my husband's SIM card in my Xiaomi and then it only indicated E again. With my son Xiaomi have done the same but again 4G on his and with his SIM card Edge in my phone again. So I'm sure it's the problem with my phone. Who else knows what I can do? I will try after a hard reset the same Edge network will still remains or if 4G works again. All responses welcome!

I think that there is something wrong with the GSM module because I tried *#*#4636#*#* and then tried several settings but it still give Edge even if I force the network to LTE only. If I give in LTE only it says: IWLAN no roaming, only emergency calls.

hello

i have rooted my note 10+ and flashed dr.ketan rom

and there is an app still detecting the root after using magisk hide and i think it checks if the bootloader is unlocked

and i was wondering is it safe if i relock the bootloader

edit:my banking app does work with magisk hide and the SafetyNet check is successful
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Re-locking a bootloader will ensure that the device will only boot to OEM signed and provided Android Images.

FYI: For a custom ROM to be used ( with a few exceptions ), the bootloader must remained unlocked.

For the majority of phones if you try and re-lock the bootloader with LinageOS installed you will end up bricking your phone ( might be soft or hard brick depending on the device ).
[General Questions and Answers] Austinredstoner:

For any app ( as this is also true for every service center ) it's an ease to detect whether phone's Android got tampered ( even rooted ). No reliable methods exist to bypass such a query, IMO.

Hi

Kindly, is there a method to root this device A20s (SM-A207F)? Also, is there any [UNOFFICIAL] room for an update?
[HTC Excalibur] dirkyd3rk:
Ok here goes i know this is a random question and most of you prolly dont know or care, but ever since i used a friends moto car charger to use on my phone it worked and charged, but now my tmobile dash still thinks the phone is charging, the orange led will never turn off. It stays orange until then the light turns green like the battery is full. So the stupid phone is never plugged but it still shows as it is still plugged, anyone else ever have this problem?
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Turn it off.. remove the battery, then put battery back and restart it. Motorola chargers should work fine, I use my old V3T charger all the time
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
USB chargers tend to use a 5v 1a so you may find that the car had a fluctuation, i'd sugest the same as Bupahs.

Same as i use multiple chargers that have collected over the years.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Or you might be needing a new charger possibly or even a new battery maybe.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
Hi everyone,

has any of you ever had network problems, as can be seen in the video?

For a few days now both network connections have been breaking down when I try to make a call. But that doesn't always happen. Sometimes I can make 10 calls in a row and everything is fine, and sometimes nothing works. It doesn't matter which SIM I use to make the call. The problem occurs with both cards. If that happens, then either directly when dialing a number, or immediately after hanging up.

I've never seen anything like this. And I wonder if it's the software, the SIM tray, one of the cards or the network operator itself.

Can anybody please help me? This is quite annoying.

PS: Sorry for the German settings. „Keine SIM-Karte“ = No SIM card // „Dienst nicht verfügbar“ = no service
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Clear sim tool kit data

Network reset

Clear system cache

Make sure the access point names are correct
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
Thanks for the advice, but this didn't help.

I did these 4 steps, but the first time I tried to call, both connections dropped again. Can there be a hardware problem at all? Looks more like a software issue, doesn't it?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The sim card, the usual hardware suspect...

They can be damaged by ESD; handled like a stick of ram.

ESD may not manifest itself for weeks, months even years. Insults are cumulative.

It's not expensive but it is a pain, try to not damage it as it left the plant A-OK.

Just like ram sticks poor handling is the cause of almost all sim card failures.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
So, am I getting you right? I just go to the store and have the SIM card replaced and everything should work again?

I've tried a few things now. If I set SIM 2 to GSM, everything is fine. The connection doesn't break. I believe it is the 3G connection. And that's why these crashes could occur when I make calls. SIM 2 doesn't support VoLTE, so it switches to 3G.

EDIT: I've tried different things now. I swapped SIM 1 and 2 back and forth. I also used my two SIM cards alternately with a third SIM card. The problem persists. Could a hard reset help or should I send the device for repairs straight away?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] jerrydrake:
Same problem here. Setting sim 1 to GSM only, and sim2 to LTE fixed my problem for a while. This has something to do with dual sim handling.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
This is soooo anoying. Have you had this problem for a long time or did it only come recently? Could this have something to do with a recent update?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] jerrydrake:
I bought the phone a month ago, and while I was setting it up it received 5 updates including android 11. So I have no experience prior to Android 11.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
Damn, same here. 😀
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Have you tried cleaning the sim cards with rubbing alcohol?

Then put them back without touching the metal contacts.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
No, I don't see any point in doing that. I swapped the SIM cards and even tried other cards and the problem was still there. If something had to be cleaned, it would be the SIM tray. But as already written, there are no disconnections when a SIM is operated in 2G. I think that rather means that it is a software problem.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Juu_5o:
I have this same problem with phone dropping off the network. For me it started after the first Android 11 update. I have full signal levels at home but if I try to make a call signal level for both sim cards drops and I get a message that mobile network is not available. Doesn't happen always but pretty often.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how the phone handles dual-sim operations...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
I am glad, I am not the only one, who is facing this problem. I already thought, I have to send my phone back. So, we have to wait for a fix.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] jerrydrake:
Must be patient. There is also bluetooth problem(disconnecting from devices). It looks like they were too fast with android 11.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] bo6o:
Since the last update(.159), i also have the drop out problem. Starting to feel sorry for buying it...
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
So, let's hope the new .222 update, which has just arrived, will fix this.

EDIT: no, it doesn't. 😒
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] bo6o:
Yeah, I even had to restart after the update, in order for the second SIM to become active...

Edit - and the problem is even worse. Almost after every incoming call I lose signal to both sims...

Edit II - I wanted to try to switch sim 2 to gsm only network, and noticed that there's 5G available for it too, after the update. Before that there wasn't such an option....
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
Since I use the second SIM only for business calls, I have already set it to GSM only. Today I noticed that I still have outages. So apparently to force 2G is no longer of any use. :/

About 5G: It has been active on my device since I got it. Perhaps there was an update on this from your carrier.

I too have this problem. O2 germany on sim1 never gets a good lte data connection and poor signal most of the time.

I bought this phone from amazon prime just 2 weeks ago. My galaxy s10 never had this issue for the past 2 years 😔.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
This thread is about the dual SIM option not working. There is another thread about the allegedly poor LTE reception, which does not really exist. With Sony, you cannot rely on the bars in the notification bar. Sony calculates the network reception differently. Thus, it can happen that you do not have a single bar showen, but still have a pretty good connection.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] chandanbs:
I'm using the dual sim option and have 2 sim cards. Yesterday I couldn't get a proper cellular connection 1 bar or no connection in a city centre. Also I couldn't place a call to another o2. Does sim1 slot has any limitations?

Unfortunately, there are no alternative solutions available for this problem.

However, Sony engineers have identified the root cause and will implement a fix in an upcoming software update, which will be released soon.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] zaher04:
So no network problem in this update;
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
I would not have noticed anything so far.

BUT: My operator switched off the 3G network last week. It is quite possible that I don't have outages, despite bugs. I always had problems when the SIM switched to 3G, so maybe I don't have outages just due to the switch-off. Better ask someone else 😀

Unfortunately not, exactly same problem here on 58.1.A.5.330 EU version (Italy), continuously disconnects from 4G, then switch to Edge, then H+, then 4G again. The phone was repaired recently for this problem and a noisy camera stabiliser, they replace the logic board completely, the problem still remain today. Anyone else?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] mathias.ngr:
This is strange. I am in Italy too and I don't have these problems anymore since the 330-update.

So, there must be something else in this software that doesn't fit.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] gericho_it:
agree, just for keeping track, the phone was factory "repaired" with the Xperia Companion, and before, network settings were restored, APN re-configured, the weirdest thing is that the mobile data flows normally and fast (!) before the "auto" switching.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] MrN1484:
I've been having a similar issue with my AS72 and it's getting boring now. I love the form factor of this phone and the quirky camera but I'm sure a couple of issues that weren't there when I got the phone are just getting worse.

The proximity sensor doesn't seem to work so my fat face is always pressing mute when I'm on a phonecall, either that or when I'm on a long call all sorts of buttons are being pressed by my face.

On virtually every phonecall now I will lose connection for about a second, not long enough to lose a call but long enough for me to think the call has dropped so I look at the phone and it's still connected as normal but they can't hear me and I can't hear them. Then after a split second it comes back. It always seems to be worse at the beginning of the call, the first 5 minutes or so, then it seems to stabilise.

I'm on 02 in the UK with one sim, I've tried enabling\disabling wifi calling\volte\5g\4g etc all with no success of a fix. I dug out my old Poco F1, flashed Pixel Experience and it works perfectly.

Once my patience has been restored I will do a factory reset and try the Sony again.

Bit disappointed and if the A12 update doesn't fix this issue the phone is dead to me which is such a shame as every phone on the market is the size of a small tablet.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] Troxelke:
Hi, here another one ... However the strange situation is that I started to have issues way later than the topic started. I am up-to-date so on 58.1.A.5.441 now. Using 2 sims, calling only with sim 1.

Few days ago I did another hard reset but still the issue of (for 70-80% of the times) immediate disconnect after picking up (even after keeping phone on the table facing up), both sim cards show no signal, after 1-2 seconds reconnected.

Anybody any clue what to do? Contact Sony for warranty is the only option? Thanks all!

I thought this would be a fun little thread. I asked a different online forum about rooting devices, and it seems like unlocking bootloaders and rooting phones has become less popular. I expect better results from here.

I just rooted my Pixel 3a a couple days ago. I waited until now just because I was too lazy. Didn't see a reason to root my device before, because Google has been sending out OTA updates. But I disliked the lack of ways I could customize my phone. So I decided "guck it" and decided to unlock the bootloader and install lineage. Don't know but I went without it.

I personally root for AdAway, the ability to center the clock in the status bar and change the battery icon to a circle. I know, stupid reason to root, but I like those little customizations.

What about you?

[General Questions and Answers] AllanRSS:
So my Note 10+ screen broke so that I can only see the top 15% and only touch the bottom 60%. I booted into TWRP to backup everything, and now I'm in a situation where I can't turn the thing off. I am unable to press the shutdown button, only the download mode and recovery mode buttons. I am also unable to press the ADB side load button to send a shutdown command. It will be quite some time before I am able to fix the screen, so I don't want the phone battery to be sitting dead and degrading for a month or more. I already tried draining the battery and then plugging it in to charge, but the phone automatically booted into TWRP.... hardware key combos only reboot, they won't shut down...

Does anybody have an idea how to power off my device? Or to reboot into system or gain ADB access without being able to use the touchscreen? Thanks for the help
[General Questions and Answers] TheLexx:
Humm, after reading the "how do we make XDA a better place thread", and the "this place is just not as good as it use to be" thread, I thought I would try to help. But I suppose that if you were on the forum since 2010 you have probably already thought of this. Also, I don't have a "Note 10+", so this is just guessing based on general Android behavior.

My screen is also unresponsive and I was able to reboot/power off by just by holding down the power button for half-a-minute. Sometimes I would have to "pull the battery", as soon as the phone started to reboot. I've done it a few times and haven't bricked the phone yet. So it is not something you do not want to do all the time. But then again this response will probably not be helpful because your phone does not have a removable battery. (whether or not a battery is pull-able is not something generally listed in the phone specks unless you do lots of digging).

Yeah unfortunately battery is sealed inside and holding the power button yields no result

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Kluxe Nobody:
So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?

This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] TheForceUnleashed:
It’s normal.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sabrewulf:
Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.

And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.

That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] chistery:
It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] TheForceUnleashed:
It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.

And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.
