[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoot Allures:
Hi there,

It's been a longtime I didn't post out there. :)

A couple of weeks ago, I drowned my Galaxy M31 (bummer!), couldn't revive it. Being broke, back to my good old dumb-phone I use while skating (it's OK, actually).

A nice colleague of mine proposed to lend me her old Galaxy S7 she replaced a while ago by a newer device, telling the battery is a bit lazy now... Thanks to her.

In front of her, I reboot in recovery (she didn't even knew there was such a thing), factory reset the device and off we go.

Back home, I flash the last available Oreo firmware (just to be sure, with the CSC part), let it boot and... yeah, Google detects the device was reset and ask for the previous owner's account, as far as I understand.

It's OK, it is to trick robbers stealing phones and trying to flash them anew, I suppose. Got two phones robbed, encrypted and all, I hope they were f*** with mine.

I feel like... a sucker, I should have been more cleaver and probably ask her to delete the Google account it was registered to (hers, her husbands)

Can someone please tell me if it is the right way to do it right?

Never had to do anything like that: so next Monday, she sign in with her email or phone number, her Google password, the device goes on booting/configuring skipping whatever time consuming setup, up until she's able to "cancel" or delete the Google account?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoot Allures:
Hi there,

It took some time, lack of actually, to get it unlocked by my friend. The device is back to me and running Oreo on my account.

Let's root it and probably upgrade it to Lineage 17 or 18 as I did with an good ol' A300FU.

I'm considering trying Lineage given the odd quirks I'm seeing with my rooted Oxygen.

What will I lose or gain by switching from Oxygen to Lineage?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] scorpio76r:
Personally I like youtube vanced and, viper which I get from nolimits 12.0, I also like the native call record. So in my case, I stick to oos.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] kamiller42:
Thanks for the response. If I could resolve two quirks with OOS, I'd be happy to stay.

1. SMS/MMS database wiped at every restart. (Or is it the messages were never committed to system database?)

2. EcoBee & August use the same API or third party library to add smart home devices. They fail while all other vendors works fine. I had to add devices using a different unrooted phone.

#2 is annoying. #1 is a bigger deal.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] joeliberty:
I went from OOS to LineageOS 18.1. While I love LineageOS, I am having problems with all my calls going to Real Time Text mode after a hardware answer. I have Verizon as my carrier and this might be the issue. I cannot say for sure. There is no Google on my phone and I get along just fine without them. If I can solve this issue it would otherwise be almost perfect. My 2 cents.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] flyoffacliff:
I have Verizon too and same thing happens. It's a known issue with most Android 11 ROMs on this phone, except for one or two, who's developers found a workaround.

911 calls don't work either which is a bigger deal.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] joeliberty:
Holy cow....thanks for the tip off. You don't dial 911 unless it's an emergency so I never knew. That would be complete NO NO and if I were LineageOS I would have a BIG warning to Verizon users NOT to use this. I went back to Android 10, HavocOS. Only issue I have is with MMS, but QKSMS is work around for it. I am going to place a test call to 911 now just to be sure. Thanks again.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] joeliberty:
Which ROM's found a work around???

{Mod edit: Quotation fixed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] flyoffacliff:
Pixen OS, but it's no longer supported and gave me battery issues. I think Jaguar OS has it fixed too. Not sure about pixel experience.

No problem, it could just be me but I think it's maybe related to the rtt issue. You should be fine on Android 10 based ROMs.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] TBPumkin:
Hello all. So I bought a Moto G6 back in 2018 from the second-hand market. The phone however is not normal. When checking for updates, it says "Up to date, last updated Feb1 2018." I tried installing a custom ROM last year from here but partway through the process it got stuck with an unexpected error, which wasnt documented anywhere and so I gave up. Now that my phone is showing signs of age, I want to repursue this route. Need some help on how should I go about it
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] mrsiri:
So what you're saying is the phone is not flashed with the stock rom but a custom one?

Try flashing the stock rom from lolinet https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/

Or use LMSA. https://support.lenovo.com/br/pt/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa

Is there any rom or program can make the internet speed on HTC DIMOND 7.2mb instead of 3.6mb?

Thanks very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
you need a service provider that will provide 7.2mbps in your area (not many provide that atm in UK, but i know orange are expanding it up to 7.2 over the next year) either vodaphone uk or t-mobile uk do it, google it as it depends on your areas coverage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sumitescp:
vodafone is already 7.2mbps and three are gonna do it before christmas if they cant they are definattely gonna do it on the first quarter of 2009
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _Nomad_:
Unfortunately, saying that the diamond(or any device using the 3G network) is capable of 7.2mbps is not really correct. Sure, the device itself is very much capable of receiving data at these speeds but the latency in the network itself will never provide that speed, unless perhaps you're sitting three feet from a transmitter...

Basically, even though you're paying for "7.2mbps" you'll never see those speeds in real life...

Oh, and I don't really think that this question belongs in the "Diamond ROM development" section.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tigger80:
7.2 long long way away dude. i have tried vodafone 7.2 from many different locations and using a 7.2 mbps modem the best i have achived is maybe 3mbps but not a solid speed, avrage speed is about 1-2mbps, so 7.2bmps true speed will be achived when, the networks advertise 48Mbps lol.

anyway you dont need that speed on the phone, 1mb is enough mos of the times,

unless you want to stream HD media..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pljkpljk:
Guys...7.2 is obviously a "dream" for me...considering I'm still with the "E" = Edge under my local ISP DIGI MALAYSIA! Argh!!

and sometimes i can't get 90% of the EDGE speed too :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fyew-jit-tiv:
Can i just add to this... MOST servers do not upload more than 1mb/sec.. so how do you expect to download @7.2mb... Not possible, until servers start to upload at those speed you are not going to be able to download @7.2......do you believe mobiles would be fast than a fixed line... Yrs from that happening I'm afraid...!:D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Alasio:
The only way you'll ever get 7.2mps is by sitting on the mast, at 3am with no one trying to use a mobile in the surrounding 25 mile radius.

Oh, and 3 are not going to have 7.2 before christmas. We've had them in at work today and they're having to talk nicely with T-Mobile so they can improve their network coverage. They have 3.6mps, quote 2.8mps as an average but they want to get away from "HSDPA" as they know it'll never work properly on their network.

... They did however quote by 2010, they should have 14.4mbps

... Now thats a pipe dream...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lomo2002:
hi,

In Denmark, they already started with the 16 Mbit on 3 network, but as we all know, it is not practical. it is just teoritical.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Alasio:
You guys on the continent get the best... Higher speed home bband connections, the UK average being <8mps, there's more money pumped into the development of the mobile networks including city-wide WiFi and we just get screwed.

3 claimed today in their presentation to have 14.4mps under testing inside certain cells in the UK, but didn't seemingly know where. That coupled with the Virgin Media testing of their 200mps connection, well... Will wait to see...

The only "decent" connection in the UK (personal experience) is T-Mobile as their parent company have pumped the most money into cell development but still its completely lacking. Look at the current Orange & T-Mobile merger that's on / off... 3 in the UK have so little 3G coverage they have had to make a deal with T-Mobile so they can use their backbone and masts for transmitting their signal, else they're never going to get anywhere with signal coverage.

But either way, the lack of cells in the UK coupled with a poor backbone simply means that speeds are too unstable in the UK to ever get the full 7.2mps stable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisnash:
Actually the all the tier one UK networks (Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile) support 7.2 in various locations around the country - the issue we will always have is contention.

The certainly won't admit it but only the first 6 or 7 connections to a mast have any chance of reaching 7.2 - after that it drops off dramatically. When you get up to 30 then your down to GPRS speeds. As someone pointed out, the only way to reach anywhere close to the potential 7.2 is to sit under a mast a 3AM and hope that no one else in the vicinity is online too.

T-Mobile, Orange and 3 will always win out when it comes to contention as they run on an 1800 MHZ network as they came late to the game in the UK. 1800 has a shorter range and therefore T-Mobile put up many more masts to compensate - 3 for every one mast that Vodafone put up on the older 900MHZ network. The Vodafone network will punch out much further from the mast which works better in more isolated areas but in urban or densely populated areas, T-Mobile's 3 masts to Vodafone or O2's 1 mast will always give a better experience.

At the end of the day its swings and roundabouts and experiences are so localised that its not worth swapping networks to improve speed unless you intend to stay always in the same location and never go out the front door.

I've been using mobile data on all four networks all over the UK over the last few years and the only thing I can guarantee is that Orange (which has stupidly been my sole personal network provider for over 15 years) will always be the worst of the lot!!!

Their data network is honestly shocking and with all the outages I've experienced this year I would say that the network is really struggling - actually I think most of them are going that way - and it will be a relief if they do actually join forces with T-Mobile.

Anyway this rant has been building up for some time - anyone else experienced the networks performance getting worse this year particularly?

I blame all the new iPhone users myself!!! LOL
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisnash:
Actually it was announced recently that 3 have the most comprehensive data coverage in the UK at the moment!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] donald-c:
Yeah sorry, you'll probably never see 7.2Mb, just like you never get full internet speed it's always 'up to xxMb'

If you live near a mast then yeah signal should be good but probably 5-6Mb at most you would get. (If)

Got a 'body donor' for a 64G phone still being shipped... but thought I'd see if it worked (oo0ps) :eek:

The good news is - you guys are very smart, the navbar buttons worked after enlarging them on factory reset

So why not use it? OOOOPS.... Put my SIM (and SD card) in the tray ... I shoulda known, it was very tricky

Probably the tiny SIM card wiggled going in.... for some reason the device reads the SD card but not the SIM

Now the tray's 100% stuck (proper diameter pin, no eject)

Leaving it alone till I hear more info - TIA

[Galaxy Note5 General] succesplanet:
Hi All,

Recently my one note 5 (N920I) experienced no SIM card error and i couldn't make any call or on data for my phone. I've tried below method but still couldn't solve the problem. Hopefully someone can help me or advise what i need to do. I haven't root my phone yet though. would factory reset solve my problem?

1. tried re-inserting the SIM card and retart the phone

2. tried to delete the cache data on the phone

3. tested SIM card is working on other phone

4. tried to check though the software/firmware details and found that baseband showing unknown

5. found IMEI is missing from my phone when entered *#060# but i'm able to retrieve my IMEI# through other means
[Galaxy Note5 General] 3zozHashim:
i have that issue too, for some weird reason 2g seems to work. calls can be made and answered but mobile data only works on 3g or 4g or 5g.

if you set your phone on 2g only, it should recognize the sim card

Hello colleagues!

I have a Bubble Boom game, it's a classic Bubble Shooter game. But the problem is that my game is exactly the same as thousands of other games on Google Play. I would like to get your advice on what new features you recommend for me to add to the game. At the moment, I've only come up with implementing the Wheel of Fortune, which will give bonuses to players, as well as adding PUSH notifications. If you can advise me on any new modes or new mechanics, I will be very grateful to you.

Thank you very much!

[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
I, obviously, have a Herald and I was wondering that if I get a Mogul and go with Sprint because they have EVDO and apparently their plan would have everything mine has but would be almost 30% cheaper, would that be a good deal?

I was also thinking about the Kaiser and I've read that you can unlock it to work for any kind of service provider but I was wondering if it supports EVDO and I'm just wondering if it was worth switching because of all the buying/selling of things things.

The Herald does has a slow processor and not only is the service plan good but I wondering if either of those phones are "better" than this one?
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
EDVO and GMS are imcompatible. You won't be able to use a tilt in Sprint's network, only in other GSM networks. (AT&T and Tmobile, for example.)
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
Where do you live? T-Mobile's 3G roll-out is picking up momentum, they've been cracking out 2-3 cities per week lately. It may not be too far off for you. Of course you will need a new phone, but the Android device is supposed to be announced next week...
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
I live in El Paso, Texas. Is there a place where I can check on the status of T-Mobile's 3g area progress?

The main thing I want is faster internet for my phone (or possibley a different one) and a faster processor. I was going to sell my Wing since it's only a month old (got a new one :p) and get a Mogul on ebay and get Sprint's 70 dollar plan that has all the same features my T-mobile plan has but Sprint's is cheaper and faster internet, plus the phone is better no?

Also. Do you know the specs for this phone? Wow how much better is the Android cause I read a lot of nice things about it :)
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
Looks like El Paso isn't getting 3G by the end of 2008, but several other places in Texas already have it or will by the end of the year.

http://tmonews.com/2008/09/t-mobile-officially-announces-3g-cities/

I don't know the specs for the Android phone, but there are some vids on Youtube and it's looking pretty sweet. Supposedly T-Mobile is going to have something official to say on it on Sept. 23.
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Ah yeah I've seen videos and read about how people gossip that it's only going to cost 200 dollars. I hope it has a slide-out keyboard.

Hmm damn maybe I should just wait it out then??

Oh I was also wondering if the 5.99 T-Zones proxy hack still works to get full internet? Cause 20 dollars is very outrageous and that's one of the concrete reasons as to why I want a different plan with faster, and cheaper, internet.
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
Re: T-Zones proxy hack. Some users are reporting that it is still working in certain areas, but T-Mobile is actively closing this loophole. It hasn't worked here in close to a year. Even if it works for you now, I wouldn't bet it will last.

Which data plan are you looking at on Sprint? Some of their 'everything' plans are decent, but IMO $20 for unlimited internet is one of the best deals in the industry.
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Hmm that sucks. See I wouldn't have mind paying 20$ for unlimited internet if it went faster than 150kbs/s. This 25kb/s is blasphemy for 20 dollars.

I was looking at sprint's 70$ plan; unlimited texting and picture messaging plus 450 whenever minutes with nights starting at 7pm and their wonderful EV-DO internet. I was planning on buying an HTC Mogul.

I think that's a better deal no? But that Google Android phone is wnticing me to keep T-mobile...

haha me too!

but 3g sounds too expensive haha :D
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Ahh lol well I'm sure the OS for the G1 will be ported... The main reason I wanted a new phone and better internet is because my parents are cheap and can't afford anything and I use internet sharing ALOT for my homework and it's so painfully slow :(. Plus it would be good to be able to download things that take a few hours rather than a few days.

Yeah but I'm thinking about selling this phone to get it. If the plans are under 100 dollars, I'm going to get it :p.

Well thanks guys for all the help and answering my questions. I guess I'll wait it out for the G1. I'm glad it's cheap.
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
buru, do you have EDGE coverage in your area? 25kbs is abysmal, even for straight GPRS! Before EDGE, I could pull close to 40kbs on GPRS, now that EDGE is here my speeds hover just under 200kbs. From what I've heard, some newer phones can surpass 200kbs on EDGE to, if they have up to date hardware with support for the latest EDGE specification. Granted, the Herald is no spring chicken, but you should be able to manage ~175kbs. It doesn't sound like much, but most sites I need to access on my phone offer a mobile site and EDGE speeds are quite tolerable for loading these pages.
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Holy **** what?? About 175 kb/s?? Aww **** El Paso, Texas gets nothing good!!

Well I'm not sure but I believe it's GPRS. Plugged in using internet sharing or just downloading on Opera 4.1 my average is always about 25kb/s.

Man that blows that mines rediculously low. Where do you live and should I call T-Mobile and ask what their average speeds should be for my Wing? Cause I do have the total internet.

Damn even at 40kb/s I would be content but 200!! Geez... sadness. Now I'm even more disappointed.
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
buru- Go to this page and enter your zip code. Be sure to check "Display data coverage" at the bottom. When I searched El Paso, it showed the whole area fully covered by EDGE.

http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx

Are you running the stock ROM on the Wing? It is notorious for being crap. Also, check your data connection settings... perhaps your Wing is only set to GPRS. I'm not sure what the options are, but when I had my Treo 750 you could choose between GPRS and GRPS/3G... maybe the Wing has an option for EDGE...?
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
**** yeah I'll check it right now.

Lol the stock ROM is mad slow, screw that :p. I'm using ttran's wonderful Open Touch 6.5 no throttle and no spb.

I don't believe there's an option for EDGE cause when I connect to the internet it always displays "Connecting to GPRS..." regardless of anything.

Hmm... I'll mess with the internet options a bit and see what's up. If I find that everything points to my internet speeds being faster, should I call T-Mobile or go to their store over here and ask what's up?

Thanks also btw. But does the Wing even support EDGE? Maybe that's why?
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
The Wing definitely supports EDGE. If it is not a problem with the internet connection settings, you should call Customer Care (1-800-937-8997) and ask for PDA support. Be sure to call from a different phone, as they will want to go through some steps with you on the Wing. Don't even bother going into a store because this is going to be beyond the capabilities of 99% of the reps, and they will just put you on the phone with support anyways.
[Wing, P4350 General] buru898:
Hmm I think I will because I looked in the data connections and the only options are Cellular line (GPRS), Cellular line, My ISP, and some other one.

Damn that sucks though. So for sure my phone's internet speed should be faster than 25kb/s?
[Wing, P4350 General] BAMF:
Based on your options, GPRS is the right setting. Technically, EDGE is a form of GPRS (unlike 3G, which is a whole new protocol). You should be getting more than 25kb for sure.
