[G1 General] fhsieh:
Take a look here to find the UMTS frequency that your carrier uses (of course, call to double check):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_UMTS_networks

It hasn't exactly been confirmed yet, but the G1 is supposed to support both 1700+2100 (UMTS IV) and 2100 (UMTS I) networks. Since African carriers are all using 2100, you should have no problems getting a 3G signal without having to worry about hardware/software compatability. You should also confirm that your carrier will provide the approrpiate connection settings in case you need to set it up manually.

The G1 also comes with quad-band GSM/EDGE, so you will certainly be able to receive 2G signals.

However, keep in mind that the first batch of G1s will be locked to T-mobile. You will need to make sure that you get a carrier-unlocked device in order to use your carrier's SIM.
[G1 General] Byte_76:
Thanks, that makes me feel more comfortable with ordering a G1 from the US.

I was just concerned because I read somewhere that the US version does not work in AUS so there obviously are problems in some countries with the bands. The UK version will apparently work in Aus.
[G1 General] fhsieh:
Again, I want to emphasize that you need to make sure you have an unlocked version. When you first turn on the phone, you are required to log into gmail (or create a new account) over a 2G/3G network. If you are unable to login (because the phone has not been unlocked to work on your carrier's 2G/3G), you will not be able to use the G1 for anything other than emergency calls. You won't even be able to enable WiFi to handle the login.

http://androidcentral.com/g1-wont-work-without-a-data-plan-period/

If at all possible, I would advise waiting at least until some other folks have tried bringing the G1 to other networks so that you know what exactly you will have to do to get one working on your carrier.
[G1 General] Byte_76:
Thanks again, I will definitely ensure that I do not purchase a network locked G1.

is there are way to change that?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] marspoki:
Hi,

I have a problem with my OP 9Pro.

After a phone call, the display sometimes stays black and it takes a while before you can use the device again.

Does anyone else have that and, above all, how can I solve the problem?

Many greetings and thanks

Mars
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Buslova:
Are you on OOS12? I only experienced that bug in the short time I ran OOS12. One of the main reasons I reverted to OOS11 actually.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] frost_icewind:
Yeah I get this too. From what I can tell, it seems to have something to do with the proximity sensor killing the screen when you put it up to your ear, then hanging when the call ends.

OOS11
[OnePlus 9 Pro] chetqwerty:
Me too. On 11. Thinking it may be from Nova or Adguard. Until I figured out that I could hit the "screen on" button to regain control I would wait till the other person hung up. So, as a workaround that's what I do, hit the button.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ferrarimagic:
That happens when the proximity sensor it's being blocked. If you have any screen protector over the camera notch (where the proximity sensor is) then that's why it's turning the screen off.

If you don't have anything covering the sensor then try making a call on another app (like WhatsApp) to see if the issue persists there too. If not then it might be the dial app, try restarting your phone.

If it happens on many messaging apps, and there's nothing covering the sensor, try downloading a sensor tester app to see if the proximity sensor is being triggered all the time. If it is then it's a hardware issue and you'll have to return your phone a get a new one.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Fishawy:
Power button is unresponsive when the phone goes pitch black. Even switching the alert slider to something different doesn't trigger the fingerprint sensor on.

I'll try disabling pocket mode. I also found positive feedback about this when you enable the "Override force-dark" setting in Developer Options. See if that helps.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] alpha25100:
Has been happening to me from time to time since A12. I just hold volume up, volume down and power button at same time and reboot to recovery and restart from there. That fixes it really quick for me.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] marspoki:
Yes, I'm on A12 because I thought it would get better here. But I had the same problem with the A11.

I haven't managed to solve the problem yet.

It also happens on Android 11 but it's not quite as bad here. The display turns on after a little while.

Where is the sensor actually? It's not the camera. It's to the right of the speaker. or?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] sahnipiyush27:
Hi, Guess!

I got a solution from the Oneplus team. (1800 202 8888) / general phone tech support team helped me with these steps:

1- under setting search reset

2- click on Reset all settings

3- Reset all settings. click it.

As this is a normal reset will not lose your data.

The last option is if this doesn't work then we have to backup all data from the phone and do a factory reset.

or it's a hardware issue.

e-regards!

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] PetePenquin:
Bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch4. (poco X3/NFC MIUI Global 12.5.4/Android 11)

Most of the things work fine but there's one issue:

When starting a walk with Samsung healt app on the watch it wants a gps fix from the phone, but it does not get one, and then it pauzes at about 16 seconds.

Before i had a gear S3 watch with the same problem, wich i fixed by autostart the Wear app, samsung healt app, making sure the had the right permissions, locking them in memomry and no battery restrictions.

Now, with connecting the Watch4 a plugin has been installed, i also did the above things. But still no luck, and also it does not work anymore with the old watch. Does anyone has a solutions for this ?

(Except disconnection the watch from the phone and let it use it own internal gps)

[Sony Xperia 1 III] wangkuan:
good news！

the high-lighted features from sony website are really not the as BIG as the article says, becuase all these features have been implemented for a long time with Chinese mobile phone manufacturers since Android 10....

i'm wondering if my Xperia 1 III will get a better battery life by updating to Android 12...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] akitomartin:
I'm waiting for this update because the truth is that the Battery Life of the Xperia 1 Mark III is terrible. 2% battery drain in IDLE with the screen off. I Hope they improved this.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] HIXPERIA:
From reddit:

It seems we can finally customize google asssitant button?

https://wx3.sinaimg.cn/mw2000/68327346ly1gy5ba1tbqtj219o2yodqi.jpg

Anyone can confirm?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Well, your link is forbidden (at least for me) and I already remapped my button a long time ago. Here on XDA are the instructions. Pretty easy actually. What I want to see from this upgrade is 1st and foremost a true SA 5G implementation. 2nd...anything that needs improving let's get it done.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
These two are a daily hassle that I'd love to see fixed:

SA 5G fix for USA model

Workaround for Google's broken microSd access

The LTE + NR71 combo it uses for NSA 5G drops a lot and can take minutes to recover.

I'm using old versions of apps to not hit Google's Nov 2021 mandatory migration to SAF for microSd. Google's SAF is so broken that apps only lock up or crash using it. Some phone makers are providing an SAF bypass setting that gets them Google certified without permanently losing microSd use.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZayedCom:
In SONY website about the Android 12 update they never mentioned Material U in the feature section, can anyone who upgraded tell us about Material U and how many Sony apps that supports it
[Sony Xperia 1 III] aoiharu:
System color palettes do not change based on your wallpaper, everything stays blue. Everything else is in Material U design as on any stock android 12
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZayedCom:
Thank you for sharing this info but unfortunately that's a bit disappointing, I was expecting a better implementation from Sony :(
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jeoleo7:
Can someone share a video or screenshots or recordings etc.

Actually I'm still on Xperia 1 but would like to see Sony's Android 12.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] presets:
Can someone comfirm any changes for camera app with A12? Or improvements in picture quality, especially in low light? There have been rumors that picture quality in basic mode (point and shoot) will be more similar to other flagships out there with A12, which sounds like a sort of nightmode.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mazellat:
I upgrade it Android 12 and really bad. Sorry guys nothing new...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Hudrator:
@Mazellat

What do you mean with "very bad"? Related to the overall experience or that there are nearly no changes?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mazellat:
Performance is same with Android 11 and battery performance improved especially for phone is sleeping. But there is no Material U like Pixel phones.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mazellat:
I will make a screen video for you...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Hudrator:
@Mazellat

Well that would be a bit suprising with the sony-launcher in place - don't think they'll update him before 1 IV to support Material U. If they do concider to do it...

The improvement in battery life seems intresting. maybe we can get some more juice out of it.

Can you take a look if the camera apps are updated / have different versions then on the last Android 11 build.

Today I got this message while using PC Companion but it says that the new version is undefined and when I hit update nothing happen nor getting downloaded to my computer, just wondered if anyone else encountered such thing?

PS my phone (BC72) is still running android 11 and I don't get the android 12 via OTA still
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Evil_Sephiroth:
Same happened to me in italy. for me this was 5 days before OTA was available.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] hotcakes_shinku:
I have encountered this as well. I believe this is a bug in the xperia companion not being able to either connect to the sony servers properly or getting incomplete information about the latest update from sony's servers. This happened to me when Android 12 OTA appeared for my phone, so it is confirmed that I can received the update via OTA,. But when I tried to use Xperia Companion instead on that very day the OTA update appeared, the above happened.

Note I don't think there is anything wrong with the connection between the phone and the PC. Because for some reason, even though software update using Xperia companion didn't work, using Software repair worked fine, and it downloaded the latest update with android 12 before repairing my phone. YMMV for this though.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ndlelex:
That's the one I am after the most. In any case, those in the know say the SEA firmware has it enabled; but I see it is not yet updated to the latest version; so I cannot flash it successfully into my phone as that would be an attempt at a firmware downgrade.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] dfg187:
Agree..

Battery life got better tho.. especially when device is sleeping.

Accubattey says 0.7%/h when screen off.. vs 1.5%/h before the update.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
There's no setting for it. However, you will have to test it to see if it works. I never tried but give T-Mobile a call and see what they say.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
Nothing seems fixed for the XQ-BC62. No SA 5G, no Wi-Fi Calling, and my phone still constantly unlocks itself. It got uglier - that's all.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ugoff:
Yeah, doing less graphically certainly saves battery power.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] dfg187:
You can set SA 5G in Developer options - prefer 5G NR mode - wifi calling based on provider?

No real SA 5G where I live. Only NSA. Don't even get that. It says 4G all the time lol.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
That's the setting I used to test if it has SA 5G yet. Selecting "SA Mode" drops it to LTE. When it's in "NSA + SA Mode", it's using the nonsense aggregation of LTE 66 + NR 71 meant for SA phones. All the phone's diagnostics say "LTE" when the 5G indicator is on. If it was legit, the diagnostics would say "NR".
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Audiguy3:
My phone updated today to Android 12. I guess the USA is getting it now

But you got 61.1.A.2.211 right ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] -DM-:
That's the firmware that I got here in the US as well at the beginning of the week...

Not a fan of 12 UI I must say, everything is unnecessarily way too big and if you adjust fonts and screen size to make the UI a somewhat normal size, you then can't see **** in some other apps 🙃
[Sony Xperia 1 III] LaceeWearsPrada:

Is it possible to flash another another region firmware and then update using PC companion or flashing android 12 after that or would it break the phone?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Stockis:
So, what's the verdict 5 months later? How many have updated to 12 and what's your opinion?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
You wouldn't know the phone was updated except for Google ruining the pull-down shortcuts menu. Sony could have used the upgrade as an opportunity to fix a ton of major problems holding back the entire Xperia III/IV line but they did nothing.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] akitomartin:
From my point of view A12, with the battery drain issue (which in Android 11 with the Xperia 1 III was very bad) it was a substantial improvement.

The bad thing is the interface. The UI ruins the entire user experience.

Sony should listen to customers and make an "aesthetic" change as it already worked in previous versions of Android.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] aoiharu:
phones sold in Russian region do not have this luxury. for me android 12 is just a mirage

[Sony Xperia 1 III] bountyman334:
a12 takes some use to. but after being on a11 gssi Evo, for a month .. ill stay with stock CN a12 .140.. its less bloated but in doing so. You might want to go with TW or Russia firmware first , becuase of gooogle sign in and restoring device setting. then flash cn keep data and it will still work

[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shefczenko:
Hi all! I bought this phone couple days back and it would be superb except I cannot get SIM worki g.

When I try to somehow force it the phone reboots and is rebooting until it bricks itself to bootloop.

Xperia software repair and newflash is able to get it back.

Without the SIM in it it WORKS FINE!

eaa 52

Any ideas at all? I can rma it but I'm worried they will tell me to pick another phone. Which I don't really want.

Is it possible to go to A11? Rollback prevention is the worst. Heard most issues started with A12 Thanks for your time. 🙂
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shefczenko:
Well neither, but I guess the shop itself will send it to Sony as it was purchased as used but with warranty. I'm little sceptical about it as I think their solution will be to exange it for a different phone at the same/higher price.

Edit: Sorry mate I'm a dum dum.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
What model number is it? And since it's used it's possible it was cross flashed...mine is a XQ-BC72 running SEA firmware but i cross flashed it to XQ-BC62 US firmware because I'm on Metro PCS but that shot my Sim and i couldn't make any calls or send texts...that is untill i out the SEA firmware back on....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Shefczenko:

[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
There's always one coming. Have you seen XPERIcheck? They get a few done each day and cycle through the whole active lineup every 30 to 120 days, depending how much they care about your market. Security patches are at least one month behind. If your release cycle is longer than 1 month (most phones) then your patch is 2 or 3 months old when it arrives.
