[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't see any indication in that screenshot that the phone thinks it's in a call. i.e. there should be an in-call icon/notification in the status bar, plus the green microphone indicator should be on the far right - at least one or both of those items. Can you explain in further detail about it showing that it's in a call at all times?

Forgive the obvious, but have you tried rebooting?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] odie69:
Yes, I know there is no 1700mhz AWS on this phone.

Got an HK ver diamond last week. Immediately put my sim in and got an "H" icon. Being my first 3G phone I thought Edge was wacky. Later Icon changed to "E", so I thought Edge was finally working right (although surfing seemed fast at first).

Played with it for a few days, flashed to Duttys latest (had 1.37) and 1.00.25.05 radio.

Today while reading through these forums I realized that the "H" meant HSDPA. I can't possibly imaging how that could have been real 3G.

I bought this phone knowing I would not get 3G on it here.

I Know T-mobile is just going live, but I never should have seen that "H". Maybe because I was just a few miles from T-Mobile headquarters? Maybe they were testing something? A bug in the phone?

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
everyone now and again i recieve the H icon, even though im not connected through HSPDA and infact it's only edge, i think its just a bug
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tzour:
Amazing but hoping it's real :) You may want to benchmark the speed and compare with reported: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409147&highlight=3g+speed. Let's know, ok?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] odie69:
I think that pretty much sums it up. :(

Should it happen again I'll do the speed test.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joshyth:
nah...i think it's just the phone trying to search for signal in every possible band, so it stopped on H for awhile on your phone then go back to EDGE...
[Sony Xperia 5 III] riahc3:
Ive always wanted to try GCam and see if its all the hype it says it is.

Is there a modded version out for the Xperia 5 III? Thanks
[Sony Xperia 5 III] WarVic:
None of previous Xperia (for the last 3 generations at least) flagship smartphone had working Gcam. Suggest this one will be no different.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] lollilol:
bruh how is that even possible
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Yakkosmurf:
I've been playing with one on my 5 ii, and the results are pretty good. Not as great as I expected, but that doesn't surprise me. The Sony hardware is not optimized to work with the software, and you could probably tweak the algorithms to make it work better with the Sony hardware. But, I don't have time to tweak the hundreds of settings in the GCAM mods to see what works best.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] XiCO FiR3:
Where you have:

BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b

Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b by BSG.

www.celsoazevedo.com

It's not close to perfect, but it works on all 3 rear cameras.

Night mode doesn't work very well because Sony only exposes expores up to 1s for external apps, and the GCam crashes when tries to use more than 1s to capture more light.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] riahc3:
Posting a random link from a site that noone knows about is kind of sketchy.

Does the guy have some kind of XDA profile?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] XiCO FiR3:
Sorry, for that.

This site is a place where most of GCam mods are posted, for multiple devices and from multiple Devs, instead of even sketchier telegram groups.

The link in question I posted is from bsg19071979 here on XDA.

Unfortunately, the version I posted is the only version I found that works on my Xperia 5 III.

and which version u using.?

[Sony Xperia 5 III] XiCO FiR3:
The biggest difference I can see, is in low light scenes, the google camera takes much better photos, and removes almost all the noise without losing to much detail.

In cases that the Xperia Camera clips the background, the Gcam resolves some detail in the clouds for example.

Overall I don't recommend it.

- Auto focus is it or miss.

- Touch to focus freezes the viewport.

- Video recording doesn't work.

- Selfie camera doesn't work because Sony uses a cheap Samsung sensor.

- Night mode doesn't work properly because Sony doesn't expose all the camera API properties.

- Out of the box the photos are a bit under saturated.

The diferent versions don't make any diffence in the case of the Xperia 5 III, that I know off.

Im my hold phone I needed a camera with a specific name to allow the google camera to access all the camera features in original ROM. More or less what sony does with the creator' color profile for specific apps.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
and again.... which version u using....therea6 different.!

i tried the first 3 from the list and i don't like there results at all.!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Yakkosmurf:
I'm using rev X of the one ending in MGC. It runs okay. A little sluggish, but I don't have crashes. I did find a profile on the web and loaded it. GCAM on the Xperia cameras is a tool, but not a perfect one. I've learned from experimentation what areas it does well and what times it doesn't. I find it hard to say if it's better or worse than the stock app because it is situation dependent. If you're looking for something that you can replace the stock app with, your expectations will not be met. However, if you're looking for an app that does better in many low light situations where you have to shoot handheld, then it will give you capability you don't have with the stock app.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] mrsyamsul:
Im wondering why people search gcam for 5 iii, latest 5 iii stock camera take picture way better than my pixel 5. I love the result from my 5 iii photo.

Current devices 5 iii, android 12
[Sony Xperia 5 III] brunsman6229:
dude, you have an xperia 5 III with many powered features and excellent great results in the camera (photo and video modes), why want you try gcam...???!!!! i don't understand !!!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] WarVic[NZ]:
Disagree with X 5 III taking better photos than Pixel 5. I wish it was true so then it would be no need in Gcam. X 5 III takes good enough photos in perfect light conditions only. That's just my experience (with X 1 III though).
[Sony Xperia 5 III] mrsyamsul:
Is you use lates android 12 and latest March photography pro, even night mod on my 5 iii capture faster than my pixel 6. I don't have 1 iii so i can't make comparison. I only have 5 iii, pixel 5 and pixel 6.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] WarVic[NZ]:
I don't like the quality output straight out of camera. Photos come out underexposed, out of focus, lack of clarity and lack of HDR too often.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] mrsyamsul:
Ohh I'm sorry to hear that.none that happen to my Xperia 5 III devices. You may want to get new phone and forget about your 1 III already.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] WarVic[NZ]:
This is exactly what I did! I 'm really happy that I was able to get rid of that overpriced, overhyped device. Certainly it is not worth even $800 to my opinion. Just because of underwhelming camera performance alone.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] locuturus:
I currently have a Pixel 4a and an Xperia 5 iii. The difference in low light scenes is astonishingly in the Pixel's favor. During the day I really like the Xperia's colors and having multiple zoom levels is great too. But in poor light the $349 Pixel cleans the Xperia's clock. Sure, with a tripod and a static scene I could get a better result on the 5 iii perhaps but in most situations it's not close. Google has bottled smoke or something.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] JoeHardi:
I tried different gcam applications under LineageOS with the Xperia 5 III but non of them worked.

[Security Discussion] jcveloso:
Hello guys. I've been looking around here on the Forum, for similar thread but didn't find anything.

Could you please tell me, is there a way to block receiving messages/calls from unknown contacts on Whatsapp?

I had been harassed last days (scamming/fishing) and is not a solution block contacts one by one.

Is there any external app that might do the job and help me and other users?

Thanks a lot, keep safe
[Security Discussion] blackhawk:
FB, WhatsApp, etc are malware. Ditch them before they goof up your life.

Never let this type of app run on a device. If you use a social media site connect through the browser only. Social media sites that require their app be loaded to be functional like FB need to be treated like the trashware they are.

[G1 General] benjimen:
I just plugged my phone number into the

UPS tracking site reference number

field

(for the millionth time in 24 hours, I'm embarrassed to say) and got a tracking number. As of 10/14, 'billing info received' which means it goes out today, 10/15. If I'm very, very lucky -- I'll have my toy on Friday! I tried to change it from 'ground' to something quicker with UPS on the phone, they said it wasn't possible :( I was told T-Mobile could do an 'intercept' to correct shipping addresses, but shipping methods can't be changed once a package is in the system...

If I have to wait the weekend, seeing 'arrived at destination' at the UPS site, I'll die :D
[G1 General] AsaSpades:
If they dont ship out yet, how are you getting yours so early? Billing info recieved doesn't mean its gonna go out that day. But congrats on the buy.
[G1 General] benjimen:
I pre-ordered the day pre-ordering started. I was told that we'd be getting our G1's 'a little before' the 22nd, but didn't believe it. And really, it is just a little before. UPS Ground isn't exactly speedy.

'Billing Info Received' just means the shipping label was created, and the shipment entered electronically. It's been my experience that actual shipping occurs the day after the status of 'Billing Info Received', which is dated 10/14. In fact, I order a lot of stuff and I don't recall it ever taking longer than that -- hopefully, this won't be the exception :eek:

I've read 'rumors' that pre-orders are shipping on 10/15, the appearance of my tracking number makes me thing these rumors are true.
[G1 General] AsaSpades:
Ahhh, now I understand, congrats, I might also be ordering one, but im not sure yet.
[G1 General] Master Loon:
Yes it is official, Let see when I get it:D

[G1 General] angel-78:
I got the same message for the 2 phones I ordered, I think it will be a few days before they ship.
[G1 General] bachviet:
Mine (black) is shipped and I expect to receive it on this Friday or upcoming Monday.
[G1 General] Rnapole:
I tried and nothing!!! DAMMIT MAN!!! :cool:
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
I was told the day after I ordered, by a T-Mo rep, that I could start checking UPS on the 15th and that my tracking info should be in there.

I have to have mine re-routed to my office to make sure I get it and don't have to go pick it up at the sorting center. Hopefully it's on the website today or tomorrow. Glad that the shipping reference method is actually working.

Someone on some other android forum told me that they're all shipping out on the 20th and that they're all coming 2-day express. Sha! Right! Like they're going to pony up the extra cash to ship millions of phones express on the same day without charging us extra! It makes way more sense to ship them ground starting 7 days earlier than the 22nd.
[G1 General] nickmgray:
I've checked the UPS site so many times that I'm a bit surprised I have not crashed their servers yet. Nothing here either. It seems people who are getting billing info confirmation are all on the west coast http://htcsource.com mostly in CA and WA.
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
Ahhh.

I'm in Chicago, so it may be awhile before I show up in the system if that's how its' going. Course I'll still be checking every couple hours like a geek anyway.
[G1 General] Master Loon:
na.... far east coast and mine info was available. but just stinking billing info. no transit info
[G1 General] Master Loon:
got mine. in ct. only billing info. not movement yet
[G1 General] dagentooboy:
nothing in Kansas yet :(

I wonder if it is going out to 3G areas first? or maybe the warehouses are all trying to get them out and some are getting them out faster....
[G1 General] rantrav:
I live 30 minutes away from GA....and nothing on mine yet???? WTF im going crazy! i will drive to the warehouse and rob them!
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
Would you tell them to give you Diane in Orlando's phone also, I will meet you in Atlanta to pick it up !! Nothing has changed on the UPS website for my tracking either .. Not even an invoice. It's as if they are saying "who are you and what do you want ?"
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
I do a lot of shipping and UPS doesn't update their website as soon as the label has been printed. I would guess that those that have shipped will see something on the website tonight or sooner.
[G1 General] haitiankid4lyf:
i went to the ups site and entered my number but it says " >>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again. " i dont know if im am entering my number in the right format

should it be xxx-123-4567 or xxx1234567 or anything else?
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
What does your tracking say ?

On the first UPS page where it says "enter tracking number or info notice number" mine returns this reply ""Not all tracking information is available at this time. Please try again later."

But if I go to the next search page it breaks my heart by saying ...

>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again.
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
still no lover for this geek, and I ordered on the 23rd!
[G1 General] benjimen:
FYI -- even though our tracking numbers are showing up by reference number, T-Mobile's system doesn't show them as shipped. This could be good news for those who's orders are being shipped via USPS. There's no way to get a tracking number for USPS shipped orders other than calling customer service; but no tracking numbers are showing up in their systems yet. So having them tell you a USPS order hasn't yet been issued a tracking number doesn't necessarily mean it hasn't shipped.

I have a feeling that UPS shipments will show up at T-Mobile once status has changed from 'billing info received' to when it's actually scanned and on a truck.
[G1 General] rantrav:
will do! im in the military..ima super duper paratrooper..i know tactics i can take em!
[G1 General] rantrav:
My mom always told me that I was special! so i should get my phone first i don't care about anyone else ha ha! sorry.....somewhat :cool:
[G1 General] ibpnyc:
im in NY and tried it but it shows "Not all tracking information is available at this time. Please try again later." all im putting is my cell phone number in 2 different formats and the same thing. I tried xxxxxxxxxx and xxx-xxx-xxxx. Note that UPS says that there tracking numbers are 25 characters long so how is it that our cell phone number is the tracking number?

EDIT -

Sorry I found the link for search by reference number. I tried it and still no luck. Any suggestions?
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
Yes, but I guarantee that I am older and might not make it until the 22nd. [normally I would never admit that, but ... ]
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
You gotta use REFERENCE NUMBER .. not tracking.
[G1 General] ibpnyc:
yeah i found that but do i select "package" or "freight" and whats the format for the reference number?
[G1 General] ibpnyc:
sorry again I know it package due to weight. any thought on the formay for the refernce number tho?
[G1 General] rantrav:
im 25 i may not live much longer either???? but i do act like im 12 most of the time...my wife always asks me "WHY CANT YOU JUST TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY????" and then i.........eat a kit kat......and say "wow honey your hair looks great today! did you do anything different? you really look beautiful" ha ha but now she knows how i work it so...i usually get slapped

[G1 General] punkzanyj:
I get the same things, ms. thing. I guess i'll have to do something else with my life for the next couple hours. Sadness.

I wish that worked on my wife....

lol
[G1 General] Master Loon:
Also While it looked like the G1 would have been delivered early. there is a note saying the package has been rescheded.....ETA 10/20???? Damn. Thought I was going to have a great weekend
[G1 General] rantrav:
AHAHAHAHA only because mine wasnt on UPS! no that sucks man... im so ready to not be a "drugy" anymore

about the wife thing...it takes time young patawan...just act really breathless(get a little misty eyed, sounds not so manly but when you have a mad woman on your ars its worth it!) and then tell her but like i said i cant use it anymore so i must pass it on......
[G1 General] RussianSolja:
im also in NYC and i aint get anything on the UPS site. im not gonna stress it im just gonna wait till the 22nd like everyone else :)
[G1 General] beartard:
According to the freaks at tmonews forums (who've been as eagerly analyzing G1 shipping as pundits have been this election) an inordinate number of shipments are coming from the distro center in Louisville, KY.

The group that got shipping info today are in 3-day or 4-day ground range of Louisville.

Blatant assumption: the closer you are to the distro center, the later they'll ship, and the later your shipping information will be available.

Now, a lot of people who have gotten "BILLING INFO RECEIVED" status from UPS, along with expected delivery dates around the 17th...their status has been changed to "rescheduled" for delivery on the 20th or 21st.

Bottom line: we'll all have them pretty much when T-Mobile said they'd get them to us.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
I heard a rumor that we will be getting our phones on the 22nd...

UPDATE

I went to ups site and it said to be delivered on the 22nd, whoo hoo!!!
[G1 General] complexsix4:
t mobile can suck a fat one!, the rep that i talked to about the upgrade said nothing of a penalty for not ordering the phone before the 3rd. this is where their crappy customer service shows its ugly little face so now i have to wait till the 10th on freaking november ! i would have have to say bad form tmo and i am gonna raise hell for you !!! mark my word !!! (ok i am done venting) im jealous of everyone getting theirs at the store and in the mail on the release date
[G1 General] goodwinm:
For me it still says scheduled delivery 10/17. But I am unable to verify if its been shipped out yet, and if not, there's no way for the 17th...
[G1 General] benjimen:
You can only pre-order online, so no 'rep'; could've taken your order. Also, it tells you during the order process, more than once (prior to ordering, and at the order completion screen), about the 2nd-wave-preorder-Nov 10th-thing.
[G1 General] benjimen:
That means yours hasn't shipped yet :(
[G1 General] complexsix4:
well when we were on the phone , i was on the computer but he still should have said it would be nov 10th till i get it and it also said nothing about being asecond wave of shipping
[G1 General] benjimen:
You could cancel the pre-order maybe and pick one up in the store?
[G1 General] complexsix4:
i could but its not guaranteed i will get one and i have to work that day oh well i will just wait and play with my blackberry
[G1 General] fhsieh:
You need to track by reference number. Go here:

http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

And enter your phone number in the Shipment Reference field in the following format (leave the other fields with their defaults):

123-555-1234

If you get the same message as before, then T-mobile hasn't prepared your shipment yet, and that could still change between now and Monday. Even if it goes through and you get your tracking number, everyone else is stuck at "Billing information received", meaning T-mobile has prepared the packages but hasn't actually shipped anything yet.
[G1 General] benjimen:
What is it about this device that has us all so anxious :D It's just a phone... but... for some odd reason I want it yesterday :confused:
[G1 General] theonlynickleft:
Looks like mine is about to start Moving. "Billing info received."
[G1 General] dagentooboy:
Mine is in the system!!! Now we will have to wait and see how long it takes for them to actually ship it :D
[G1 General] SJMES:
I'm in Detroit. My tracking information just appeared today, 10/16! Could we be getting them Monday? Lets hope!
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
Good News: Got my tracking number!

Bad News: Who knows when I'll get it!

When I called T-Mo the day after I ordered to get the order rerouted to my office they said "oh just check the UPS website and call us back when you have a tracking number" I still don't understand why their pre-order system didn't allow you to select the shipping address. Just because you can get mail, doesn't mean you can get packages, why does no one understand that?

So I called this morning, guess what T-Mo says? "You have to call UPS and have it rerouted, we can't do that. The only thing we could do is cancel the order and then re-order with the new address, but then it will take even longer for you to get your G1".

So I call UPS, guess what they say?

"we can't reroute it. The shipper can, though, why don't you ask them." I explained they told me they couldn't reroute it and to call UPS. Then UPS says, "You'll have to wait until it it arrives at the local sorting center, and then they can hold it for you to pick up. They can't reroute it until it's arrived and been attempted delivery at least once."

WTF? :confused:

I'm very annoyed. if T-Mo had allowed me to select the shipping address there would be no need for this. :mad: :mad: And I don't understand why UPS can't just attach a note to that tracking number so that when it's scanned (it hasn't even been picked up yet!) they know it's gotta have a new label. I tried looking up my sorting center in Frankin Park, but the only phone number listed is the main "contact UPS" number I already called!

So, at this point, the only thing I can think of to do is have it held at the UPS sorting center and get someone to drive me over to pick it up. This is just messed up.
