[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
well I may as well contribute by sharing the pain - reception is horrible at my place too! I m between 0 and 2 bars (changing randomly between no signal and 2)

I REALLY hope there is gonna be some sort of fix to improve the antenna perfomance cause this is a major drawback especially considering that I live in the centre of London (zone 1) and that I get full signal on other phones.
[XPERIA X1 General] jimmeh1988:
i get poor reception - i work in mayfair - which i would say is central enough london? What network is everybody on? mine is on vodafone - is this over all networks? does anyone find there to be a better network in london?
[XPERIA X1 General] SE-Naz:
Well I have been using my X1 on O2... To be fair it seems to be on par as my C902...

At home... I never have had good recepetion ususally 2/3 bars however on the X1 at times I get full bar... Calls are clear even on low reception. At work 90% the recpetion is HIGH... I live in the London area too...

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] mobmanX:
My reception is OK - 3g reception in my house is slightly better than my old P1.

I've not really been out into any rural areas yet but i've not lost my signal anywhere yet!

I'm on o2 - I wonder if the x1 performs worse on different bands?
[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
Hmm- I'm on vodafone, maybe that is the problem. My reception is abysmal- bad enough to make the phone unusable, I'm based in Uxbridge just ot the west of London.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
i think its a vf problem, before my number was transferred across i used my tmobile sim in tthe x1 and got better reception than with my athena.

reception with vf is erratic, i wonder if they use different frequencies?

we need a new radio i think rather than full rom

complain to vf, i have, i was sold this on having full 3g coverage, yet barely get recption at times at home
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I've been having a play.

Locking the band phone>options>band to 900+1800+2100+900 seems to give a more stable signal. Only tried it for 30 mins or so, but made a couple of calls and it's stayed at 2 bars.

this is on vodafone UK

btw there's also a built in field test app: on phone dialer screen type *#*#364#*#*

and it will give a lot of information.
[XPERIA X1 General] djrm:
im on O2 and the problems still ongoing. So its not just voda, its the X1 itself. Yeah in some places its the same as any other phone but travel around and u notice a big difference
[XPERIA X1 General] vinokirk:
Nice one fards, how did you know about this app?

Does anyone have a guide to what everything means?
[XPERIA X1 General] vinokirk:
My Orange sim in this device would always pick up 'H' where I work (I work in the middle of nowhere). But my Voda sim doesnt pick up a 3G signal anywhere!

At my mates house, no one on Voda gets a signal but Orange and O2 are full 3G!
[XPERIA X1 General] veletron:
UK Vodafone are beginners at this 3G lark - their 3G coverage is way off the other networks.

3, and T-mobile offer the best 3G coverage in the UK, with the latter offering by far the quickest speeds.

Don't believe the headline figures '7.2Mbit HSDPA' they mean nothing if you have half the number of 3G towers covering a given area or twice the customers! T-Mob is mostly 1.8Mbit HSDPA, but its consistently the fastest in the real world.

I went with Voda for their remote area 2G coverage (which is better than any other UK network). Turns out that the other networks are better in the cities - I get a crap signal everywhere I go in Stirling, and it aint much better in Edinburgh.

Thankfully, I am on a 30 day rolling contract... so we will see how it goes

[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
Where I am I can put by new voda sim in a Nokia E90 and get full 7.2 HSDPA signal. In the Xperia I get MAX 1 bar, and normally only 2 bars GSM. In London this is clearly a fault with the X1 and not of Vodafones coverage.

T-mobile and 3 have the same exact coverage and service for 3G, they combined their towers in 2007. Having been on Three for 18 months now and having friends with T-mobile, I'm switching to Vodafone due to 3's terrible speeds and unreliable service. I used to hold my hand over my phone and drop from full 3G to nothing.

[XPERIA X1 General] kr00t0n:
I'm on Orange.

Put it next to my E650 also on Orange, and I constantly get 2 bars less :(

2 at home, 2 at the office, London zones 3 and 2 respectively.

If it isn't fixable by a ROM, would a replacement of version 2 be covered in the warranty?
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I wouldn't use the amount of bars show on different makes of phone as a reliable gauge of signal strength, some manufacturers have been known to make it look like they have better reception by putting more bars on there!

FWIW i'm back on my Athena now for a while till I get a replacement X1 sent through and I get exactly the same amount of coverage that I get with the X1. What I've found though is that the athena doesn't drop the signal quite as quickly as the X1.

I'm fairly certain this will be something fixed in a radio flash upgrade (it's been know in other HTC devices before) but it might take a bit of battery life away.

[LG Q7  Questions & Answers] Zboy745:
Howdy, Y'all! I have a buddy who has a Q7+ that bricked its self during an update. Powering up, the phone goes into fastboot mode. I have tried searching for the stock ROM for it, but all the download links I have found seem to be either expired or no longer working. This Q7+ is from Metro (by T-Mobile). We tried to unlock the boot loader to install a custom ROM but since LG no longer has their dev portal working, this was futile. We also tried with this reversed engineered MTK Tool but that also did not work as it did not pick up the phone. If someone could either help us to unlock the boot loader and get TWRP installed or get us the stock ROM, we would greatly appreciate the assistance. Thank you all so much!

[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] zigxda:
How different are the non-UW "kiev" and UW "kievv" variants? In particular, is the LineageOS build for "kiev" compatible with "kievv" as well? I cannot find a "kievv" build.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] TheLastSidekick:
kievv is the retail Verizon model. They have different amounts of RAM. Verizon Kievv has 4GB of RAM, Kiev Retail Unlocked is 6GB RAM and I imagine some modem and radios are different in the firmware itself as well.

Assuming you bought your device unlocked from Best Buy or Amazon, the device is Kiev and has 6GB of RAM, and this would be the correct forum for you.

Check your OnePlus updater.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Scragge:
Yes, A-12 has been released for the N200, but it may screw up your phone. I bought three of the unlocked US market 5g N200s due to the 3g phase out. Yesterday two of them updated to A-12 and now neither of them will work for voice /mms/sms. The phones detect a SIM installed but will not access the mobile network at all. I'm using Consumer Cellular which in turn uses At&T towers. Nothing I've tried makes any difference, can't even place a call on my brand new phones. OnePlus tech support is useless, their solution is send the devices to them for "repair" after their update broke my phones. After chatting with their rep I have 0% confidence they will actually do anything except keep my phone for a month or so and send it back in the same condition. According to their tech, no roll back tool exists for the unlocked variant.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] The12thJuror:
THANK YOU for posting this!! My mom purchased an N200 for the exact same reason and after the A-12 update she's having the same issues with her device. All her voice, sms, and mms transmissions go through Cricket wireless (which also uses AT&T network) She contacted OnePlus customer service and they said they'd get back to her within 48 hours. It's now been 48 hours but with it being a weekend, she's hoping to hear back from them by Monday. She went to the Cricket store yesterday and they cleaned and tried a new SIM card to see if that might fix the issue but it didn't.

While it doesn't sound like there's any fix available yet, it's helpful knowing that this issue is affecting someone else using the AT&T carrier network. Hopefully between OnePlus and the AT&T wireless carriers they'll figure out a solution sooner rather than later.

Best of luck with your devices.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Scragge:
Yeah, I called OP three times got the same promise from OPs customer service and they never got back with me. I've never dealt with a less enthusiastic company when dealing with a serious product defect. The tech support people at first acted like the didn't believe me when I described the problem. Then once I had (I think) convinced them the problem was real, their response was like "oh well, too bad, so sad". OP offered no solutions or even ideas of what to try to do to fix the problem.

Do they test anything before pushing out an update?

I had a two day window left for returning the devices for a refund so now they're gone, and I'm gone as an OP customer, I can't just do without a phone while they fumble around trying to figure out the details for some (maybe) upcoming patch.

Good devices, terrible customer service. Never settle, nope, never again.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
For those of you who want to downgrade from 12 to 11, use fastboot enhanced/payload dumper, boot fastbootd, delete all of the "my_" partitions, flash android 11 ROM zip (payload.bin button). Reboot bootloader, use the command fastboot -w to initiate a factory reset, reboot recovery and wipe data (this fixes mismatching metadata/userdata partitions) reboot device and voila you're on Android 11 again. 👍 Confirmed on my converted TMobile variant.

Also T-Mobile variant got official A12 OTA with the same C.15 build number.

And AT&T doesn't play nice with OnePlus, their new sim cards will not let you use a OnePlus device at all because they are unsupported.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Do you know where to download the A12(or at least the latest A11 update so I can update to A12 via OTA) stock firmware/update or could you upload it for the T-MO(metro) variant or show how to update OTA even when I unroot both slots the OTA still fails
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
I'll get the link scraped today. To fix OTA you have to reflash the stock build to restore avb (android verified boot / vbmeta verification). Without this being restored you can't flash OTA's using the normal methods. But once I get a link to the T-Mobile/metro update, you can use fastboot enhanced to manually upgrade like I did. I'll make a tutorial for the manual upgrade/downgrade process. I first have to downgrade from OxygenOS 12 to 11, then use the MSMtool to restore stock T-Mobile software. Easy stuff 👍
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Thank you! I been stuck on the same update like 4-5 updates ago 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
The link to the download is literally a https link in the logcat when downloading the OTA. In case you're wondering how to manually download the zip onto a computer, that is how to get the link. If anyone else beats me to sharing the link it would save me from having to downgrade to get the link for the T-Mobile variant myself 😂

"adb logcat > logcat.txt"
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
So I get on computer and go on bootloader and type "adb logcat"?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
Negative, while booted and after you start to download the android 12 OTA you can run the adb command to get the link while the OS is running.

https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/7cd89efc84e6db817ed16b59b0af3120521ab323.zip

(Shout out to @lzgmc )

I dirty flashed this (DE2118 T-Mobile/Metro) build over the leaked unlocked variant (DE2117) OxygenOS 12 build most are running and did not have to factory reset after flashing with Fastboot Enhanced.

My TMobile variant is now running the T-Mobile firmware. No downgrade required for that.

Downgrade process is download the android 11 build from OnePlus, boot fastbootd, use fastboot enhanced to delete all of the "my_" partitions, flash "payload bin" (full android 11 ota zip from OnePlus), make sure to tick ignore unknown partitions. After that is done shut the phone down and boot to fastboot/bootloader using the key combo, and flash the same payload again with ignore unknown partitions ticked. This will update the partitions that were inaccessible in fastbootd (such as modem). After this you will have to use a terminal with adb/fastboot to run "fastboot -w" this will wipe metadata(encryption key for userdata) and userdata. Reboot to recovery and perform factory reset there as well. After that you should be good to reboot to OxygenOS 11. To return to stock T-Mobile after that just use msmtool
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Alright cool thanks for the download 👍🏾 so just go to twrp/orangefox and install it or do I get on pc and flash it via adb? Does it have to only be fastboot enhanced?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
PC and flash via fastbootd then again in fastboot after fastbootd. Fastboot enhanced is the easiest way to do it, otherwise you will need to fix custom recovery to support android 12 or use command line tools to unpack the oneplus ota file to manually flash each partition.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Gotcha, how do I go to fastbootd and fastboot? Its confusing me which one is which
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
fastboot = bootloader

Fastbootd has access to more critical partitions and can be accessed by the command "fastboot reboot fastboot" at the bootloader or by hitting the "reboot to fastbootd" button in fastboot enhanced. Make sure to flash it in fastbootd BEFORE flashing it again in fastboot
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Gotcha, one last thing how do I flash using fastboot enhance? Idk what to pick to flash the A12 OTA

Actually need help again, I managed to root via fastboot enhance as I can flash it but there's no boot option so I can install twrp, I tried flashing it but it bricked me so I reflashed patched boot image to unbrick, the regular adb fastboot command prompt doesn't want to boot or flash anything it just says failed unknown command but I can use all other commands like rebooting just can't boot or flash anything so there's no way to get TWRP and I did device info and it said bootloader critical unlock false 🤔
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Travisholt92:
TWRP is currently for Android 11 only until myself or someone else makes one specifically for Android 12. TWRP will not work with android 12. The only way to root is to use the magisk app to patch boot.img and manually flash it and disable vbmeta verification and verity

I've seen a lot of posts about Orbic Wonder but does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for an Orbic Maui (rc545l i believe)? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

What I've done:

Checked the Orbic website for the normal opensource links but can't find anything there, attempted searching a bunch of search engines (google, duckduckgo, yandex). I also attempted using the verizon/orbic update utility for windows. Does not seem to download the rom but tells the phone to. I've used es file explorer to attempt to find the update file with no luck. I've also searched XDA but only seem to find info on the orbic wonder. I would like to try developing on this device as it's a relatively cheap (about $30) and I think it would help anyone else with it. It will also give me the chance to work on android firmware porting without worrying about bricking a more expensive device.
