[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Most are using the international firmware for the G8 and G8x models.Which is what the qm firmware is.If you're carrier is T-Mobile or any T-Mobile MVNO,I would solely use T-Mobile firmware.My G8x is AT&T branded and factory unlocked,and I tried using Tmobile service about 2 months ago and was having issues sending text messages.I could place and receive calls and get text but couldn't send them period.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Brando81:
Yeah, so my G8X is AT&T unlocked. AT&T didn't activate VOLTE on this model, so when T-Mobile shut down their 3G network, Simple Mobile calls won't work and the current IMEI shows it's not eligible (because of the model.) At least that's my understanding so far.

So for the G8, is this the firmware I should crossflash? https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820tm-firmwares/ or I could try the QM which may or may not work. Is that correct? Basically going to the 820 firmwares instead of the 850?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
I would go with the T-Mobile firmware since you're on their network.It wouldn't make a difference with VoLTE enabled with an AT&T sim.Once you pull the sim,and swap it it defaults back and turns the IMS settings off until it receives the configuration from their servers.Yes,820 firmware.It at least has the higher android builds,and better security patches.Once you put T-Mobile firmware on the device it should all work regardless of IMEI.

Edit:Make a back-up.Don't forget to do that first!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Brando81:
OK Surge....you've been helpful and seem to know what you're doing. What did I mess up?

I followed the cross flash instructions. I flashed the 820QM firmware first, and System loaded but the touchscreen wouldn't respond. I could only use the hard phone buttons. Decided to go to what you recommended with 820TM and it wouldn't boot at all - black screen - but I could still get to QFIL and LGUP.

I reflashed 850QM and touchscreen works again and I'm back to where I started.

When I flashed 820s, It did ask me if I wanted to change model numbers this time and I said Yes. And it asked it said it was changing some partitions on the 820 loads.

I may have been working on this too late. :) I appreciate your help so far.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
I think someone else encountered this once before,and it was caused by certain manufacturering dates of the device.Some models can use 820 firmware,and some can only use 850.Looks as if yours is kind of stuck with 850 firmware only.I think the AT&T version I have I could go either way it worked with no problems.I still have my G8x but never really used it.I bought it because it came with the dual screen attachement,and $125 I took it.Here's my Sprint copy if you want to give it a try.It's a LUNS copy minus LUNS 5 for IMEI information etc.I was in the same boat as you on certain features not working with AT&T at one point myself and had to crossflash the Sprint version of the device.With that being said,try this one from LG Fans first.If that doesn't work,try my LUNS Sprint copy and let me know which ones works the best.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Brando81:
So interesting news....I obviously didn't try making calls last night at 2AM, but apparently reflashing with the same exact 850QM software I used before seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe changing the model to 820 and then changing back to 850? Who knows? That's like the 3rd thing that happened with this process that I have no idea why it started working differently, but hey I'm happy and back up and rolling.

Thanks for all of your help, Surge! I was truly at wits end, and had already ordered a new phone, even though I'm happy with the G8X overall. Now I can return that and keep rolling with the G8X.

Thanks again, you were a huge help and its much appreciated!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Glad you got it working!I run in to a same similar issue with a Note 8 I have,and it being an international unlocked AT&T phone.No calls would work period,and swapped firmware over and over and finally started to give up and flashed the stock firmware back and it worked.It's something that hangs in Android with the changed IMS settings that are sent to the device.It's all odd at the moment with carriers,but nothing surprises me anymore..lol..
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] BereiBlue:
"G850QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0224.kdz" Is a BPT kdz and is not truly open even though it says, "NAO US OP".

I got the phone working by using "G850QM30b_00_NAO_US_OP_0902.kdz", the "real" open kdz. Everything worked fine after that.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
Can someone please explain to me the different versions of the firmware

BPT and CCT and USA

are they really different

there is also the 40A now which is android 12?

G850QM40b_00_NAO_US_OP_0805.kdz

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg850qm-firmwares/

most of these firmwares are are 4GB in size, the newer KDZ are just 1GB

G850QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0224.kdz

My ATT G8X just got the update to G850QM40A which is android 12

how is android 12? do the firehose , root and bootloader unlock apply
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Yes,the firehose will always work regardless of the Android version.Also from what I have read,yes the same procedures work for A12 for root and unlocking the bootloader.As always,backup your firmware before rooting and attempting to unlock the bootloader just in case something goes wrong!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
Do you think there is any point to crossflash

USA G850QM40b_00_NAO_US_OP_0805.kdz

on ATT G8X to be used on Tmobile network? I can do the VOLTE patch after rooting it . is it worth the headache?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
QM versions are international unlocked versions of the firmware.My branded AT&T G8x had issues sending text messages with T-Mobile service I do remember.I crossflahed my variant with the QM version and it worked flawless after that.But,I do have a full backup copy of the AT&T firmware if I ever decide to put it back.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
May I ask how did you back it up?

also if I have androind 11 ATT can I crossflash to android 12? that should not be an issue right?

the partitioning is not changed in the update?

Where can I look/read what kind of GPS Chip run in my diamond?

Is it true thats two different chips have been build-in?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] matt_jackson:
Does nobody know this information?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blufade:
you should've checked the wiki before posting

anyways, the chipset is Qualcomm's gpsOne

where did you get the idea of two chips from?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] matt_jackson:
Shure - I ve checked wiki and another blogs and I know this information about Qualcomm, thx.

But I wanne know where I can read in my diamond what kind of chip I have.

I´ve read it in a another forum (about 2 versions of chip´s) and I think that was the answer why first Diomonds release work with bad Sat fix and newest edition work´s fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blufade:
on your diamon huh ?...from what i know, neither winmo nor the htc manual reports any info regarding the gps chip, plus i've never come across any s/w that could read gps specifications directly, have you checked out the htc repair maual, actually it has pretty much all info regarding the hardware.

i don't know if htc would alter the gps chip, maybe its just that the newer diamonds come with a better radio s/w...

I've been using it for almost 10 days and everything was fine, but since last night the phone frequently crashes instantly when I open random apps, there are a lot of gms permission errors in the logs, and I haven't upgraded or installed any apps during this time.

Back to ArrowOS 12 for now, it looks like 13 will take a while to stabilize officially.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick_B:
It's possible to buy cheap Chinese mobile phones based on the MediaTek MT6739. I believe there are custom Android ROMs that will work on these phones if rooted. Would it be possible to bypass Android and just run a stripped Linux kernel with only basic functionality on such a rooted phone? Why even need Android at all if the chipset is supported by the kernel and all I want is say, display and networking? Custom bootloaders are certainly capable of taking input and displaying stuff on the screen, and I'm not sure those are full Android installs. Is this possible?

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] xyzqwerty500:
Looks like by mistake I installed Samsung J2 2016 stock instead of Samsung J2 Pro 2016 stock. I had also set it up. It has same features and is working fine but it is just showing that my smartphone has 1.5GB of RAM as J2 2016 had 1.5GB RAM and J2 Pro 2016 had 2GB Ram.

Where is RAM size stored in android, so that I can change it manually without needing to reflash the complete OS?

I don't want to reflash the OS completely. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] xyzqwerty500:
@NullCode Is it possible without reflashing the RAM?

anyone from india pre booked the Galaxy Z Fold 4? mine says watch 4 delivery on 22nd but it didnt even got packed and wireless charger on 21st which is also not packed or shipped

have you received any of your deliveries on promised dates?

View attachment 5691995
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Zappapp:
I did pre-book on the 17th, but no sign of shipment yet. My order is still processing.

Spoke with somebody I know in Samsung India, most orders likely to be shipped on 22nd late night or 23rd.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Zappapp:
Anybody aware of any cases available in India which have a built in screen protector and a hinge cover? Hinge protection is necessary, since my Fold 2 had issues with dust and was partially unfolding.

status is still at confirmed stage, not even packed 😓 do you have any new updates on your order?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] shaji_ka_71:
I booked on 16th. No update on shipping of watch or the wireless charger. Spoke to customer care and they say there is delay due to high volumes of orders.

BTW, while using the coupon code using the prebooking vip pass. I got a discount of 5K. But what about the 1999 we paid? Will they refund? I believe it was not adjusted in the final price I got.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Zappapp:
My order is also on the confirmed stage. Would try to find out again from my Samsung source, if no shipment by tomorrow.

Any cases you ordered. I ordered the Samsung one with s pen. Looking for a case to cover the hinge. The Spigen on Amazon is too bulky.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Zappapp:
Rs 1999/- would get refunded, hopefully starting on 26th of this month.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] eswar539:
Just got the delivery of spigen air. Its so thin and I don't think it will protect from hard drops or on stones.

Last year I have the bully one from spigen for my fold 3. It's so bully that my mobile weighed 0.5kg. so Im avoiding it at all costs and as I always stay at home anyway. For now any case that provides hinge protection will definitely add Wight and bill to the alredy bulk phone

PS I have FREE ADLD for fold 4 from samsung. If anything happens I will just claim it

Guys just need a suggestion from you fold users.

This fold 4 would be my first fold device. I mostly have a desk job and don't travel a lot. Just few queries..

1. How feasible or practical is to use folding devise?

2. How is the durability of the inner screen?

3. How is the resale value in case I want to sell it?

4. Is it ur primary device or just for media consumption?

Presently using S21U and iphone 13 pro as my daily driver. I like the Samsung skin o android. S22U was not an incrimental upgrade so refrained
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Zappapp:
Folding devices need to be handled extra carefully and kept away from dust. A good case with hinge coverage mostly takes care of this aspect. I was using Fold 2 as my primary device for the last 2 years, my Fold 2 was unfolding partially recently due to dust entry in the hinge gaps . As i said, Folding phones need to be handled carefully and the inner screen is a bit fragile. If you sell your Fold before launch of the new model, expect to get about 40 to 50% of its original price. I was using Fold 2 as my primary device, while using the outer screen. After unfolding it, it was used for media consumption and also acted as a replacement to my tablet.

SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Series Case for Z Fold 4 is still not available on Amazon or did I miss it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] eswar539:
none. this is the email i got from samsung support

1. if you are into multi tasking then go ahead. now i no longer have ipad

2. i would say pretty durable. I literally dropped my fold 3 more than 100 times lol, the inner screen had 3 dead pixles at the top hinge and this is was noticed by a olx buyer and i got it repaired under ADLD for 5k(thank god if not samsung would have charged me 60k) i have very clumsy hands and i tend to drop my phones a lot but i never had any probelms in my iphones or other samsung ultra phones. so i guss fold screens are not that much durable but if you take care of the phone well then it will defnitely last atleast 2 years but as the above person said dust is a no no or else use something that hides hinge. last year i used spigen slim pro but it adds a lot of bulk to the phone

3. i bought the fold 3 for 1.35lack and sold it for 70k around 10days back while it still had 20days warranty left and trust me you dont want to hold a fold without warranty as repiars will cost you bank. if not for the 2 repairs back to back i would have used it another year

4. this will be my primary device. for games i have rog 4 or 5.
