Hello. I tried to flash rom and got an error saying the rom is for star2qltechn and my device is star2qlte. Also, using an app, it tells me star2qlteue. Is there a way to install or am I out of luck? Any help is appreciated!!

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] kum4423:
S9+ SM-G965U1 (star2qlteue) is probably a North American model, as inferred from the model number.

The ROMs introduced in this thread are East Asian and some other regional models such as starqltechn, star2qltechn, crownqltechn.

Perhaps the ROMs cannot be flashed because the vendor part is different.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] kum4423:
S9+ SM-G965U1 (star2qlteue) has SDM845 Board and Chipset, so it may be possible to Flash it by rebuilding ROM. Well, I am struggling to build the ROM now, so it is difficult.

Hi! Should I flash this rom over stock firmware? Or do I need to flash it on a clean smartphone?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] afaneh92:
open the zip and edit assert to star2qlte instead of chn
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] undogooder:
Thank you! Any chance I could get a small tutorial on how to find? Sorry, I haven't edited a rom before.

Edit: I think I found it bit just to be sure...

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "star2qltechn" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "star2qltechn" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: star2qltechn; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););

If this is it, should I edit all 3 star2qltechn to star2qlte?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] afaneh92:
yes,dont extract the zip just open and edit and save

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] domi_niku:
I live in Boston metro area with abundant LTE/5G coverage, but drive through two nearly dead zones, each of them lasts just a few seconds. My previous phone would not stop YouTube playback going through those areas. My Pixel 7 Pro loses connection for ~5 minutes completely and then reconnects via EDGE even though strong 5G is available. I have to toggle the airplane mode for it to connect to the correct network.

I'm on Mint/T-Mobile and this has been happening every day. Is it a software bug or is my Pixel defective? Thanks for any ideas, I still have a week to decide if I should return it :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Teet1:
I used to have this same exact issue with my pixel 6 pro and wouldn't be fixed no matter what I did. I traded it in for my p7p and haven't had that issue since. You should replace it while you can and hopefully it won't happen again
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z3nith66:
I have the same problem. Whenever there's a slight interruption of service the Pixel can't reconnect for minutes. I have to enable and disable airplane mode a couple times.

Bonus, if I just leave it it disconnects from the network randomly. I miss A LOT of calls. And people tell me that the calls take a long time to connect either way.

I'll be returning it if it doesn't get an update in a week or so.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I don't know if this will help, but...

I believe EDGE uses 2G. Maybe turn off "Allow 2G" in Settings>Network & internet>Sims>Allow 2G. Hopefully this will stop it from connecting to EDGE and instead connect back to your strong 5G or LTE.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] domi_niku:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

It still takes a long time before it connects to the 2G network and all I see is an exclamation mark next to zero bars.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
If you have taken the .031 update, which fixed that issue for me, then it's possible you may have a defective unit. I have had zero issues with signal handoff and I'm even taxing the modem even more by running dual SIM in DSDS mode. I have been incredibly happy with this device's reception. I would even say it's been better than my OnePlus 9 with the X60 modem as 5G standby drained my battery super fast, about 1.6%/hr in a high signal area, compared to half that on my 7 Pro with dual SIM active.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] domi_niku:
The system is up to date. Not sure what else I can do. I'm not interested in installing unstable nightly updates.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z3nith66:
What's this update you're talking about?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I got my phone on release day and there was an update waiting to go to TD1A.220804.031. Until I took that update I was seeing that ! every 10 minutes or so. It was pretty bad. Haven't seen it since unless I'm switching my SIMs around.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z3nith66:
Oh I'm on the beta as Android Auto wouldn't work on that one. It got better after I reset Carrier Services but it still has issues.

I'm losing calls, they just don't connect, even on 4G LTE with full bars. A friend has the same thing. These things are not ok.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I'm on the beta as well and still having no connectivity problems so I guess I should consider myself lucky. The worst I have is some outsized drain when I have a weak signal but it's still not terrible (about 2.2%/hr in my partner's basement).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morphius88:
This issue happens to me from time to time too. Weird but mine shipped with .031 (picked up on 10/21 at best buy). But I guess it was worse before that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zsguerreiro:
Were you able to fix this? I have the same issue, the phone is just unusable. Such a shame as I really like the device...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MetroWestMA:
I came from a OnePlus 8 Pro (what a great phone BTW), and found the Pixel 6 Pro had worse connectivity. The Pixel 7 Pro seems to have fixed all that and some bluetooth issues I was having with certain headsets on the Pixel 6 Pro.

One trick on any modern 5G phone -- if you are having issues -- the switching between 5G, 5G UC, and LTE can be disruptive. If this is constantly happening just switch it to LTE, chances are you'll get better reception and at the same or even faster speeds.

For example, a Six Flags a few weeks ago, 5G was constant problems while forcing LTE worked fine 100% of the time.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zsguerreiro:
I've tried switching off 5g, switching off 2g, switched off adaptive connectivity...no results, still useless
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
How about your APN settings? Have you tried a network reset? If none of those things helps you may have a defective phone! It can happen with any brand.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zsguerreiro:
Yes, tried resetting the APN as well, also swapped esim and sim to another phone and works flawlessly...it may be a defective unit but there are many users complaining so there has to be a lot of defective units...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
Well, I am not using an esim with a psim. Only a psim here and running on Mint (T-Mobile) and I have zero issues. Either some setting, or conflicting network settings between the two sims...OR a defective phone is your issue. I would bet dimes-to-dollars that it is NOT the phone. YMMV
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tom beckett:
Hmm happy to see i am not alone...... I have already post on this forum for this same pb.

I am full 4G....i try to make a call, instantly when i push call button, lose connection....must wait and maybe 4G and more in EDGE.

When i am in 4G impossible to call or receive....

So i have a phone with impossible to call or receive.......

SO NICE ????

For me, i am sure is the last F/W (31) who suck.

Why ?

Because, my phone work, after upate (31) just after reboot must wait 7 min to have network...never before....

SO last week end, i will downgrade to first F/W (A2)

Problem is solved for me.

I have locked all automatic update in developper menu.

Sometimes i have notification for update, but i don't care..........

Incredible but work for me, i think you must try...i don't see another solution for this ****ing problem

I had use the official tool : https://flash.android.com/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zsguerreiro:
Sounds like a work around, how do you downgrade?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tom beckett:
Just use the official tool :

Someone have try the last november update ?

Solved this problem ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hi2all123:
Today this morning i updated the device with the new small update which released today .001 version. Up to this moment (about 8 hours) i haven't any drop calls or signal loss. I hope that the problem is fixed, but is too soon to say. I think it's firmware problem, i have 2 pixel 7 pro devices, i'm from unsupported Country (Greece). Both of the devices act the same, so i don't believe it's hardware problem. I have update only one of the devices with the last update
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bofahad:
Download November image & clean flash it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] superchesser:
I'm on the latest beta, I had this issue with the two P7P I've had (I asked for an RMA thinking it was a hardware issue). The issue is definitely fixed for me with this latest update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Deadmau-five:
I spoke to google about my cell issue. Its a ! next to the cell bar and never changes. Started yesterday, Google said to take it in to get fixed. My enthusiasm for this phone is quickly going away.

-Factory Reset

-Replaced SIM

-Changed APN

Nothing fixed it.

This issue was on OCT and NOV update. Didnt fix this issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Deadmau-five:
UPDATE: Sooo my phone provider (Tello) tells me that google fked the 5g update somehow (carrier services?) and if you are having issues on 5g to disable that and reboot. Keep it disabled for a few weeks and try again later after an update... hope it resolves itself.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I converted my Tello SIM to eSIM on the website when I got my 7 Pro and haven't had a problem with connectivity since so I'm pretty convinced that the issues are related to provisioning problems and Tello is just blaming Google because Samsung broke 5G for so many phones. If you don't need the ease of switching phones afforded by the pSIM (since once deactivated, your SIM cannot be reactivated), you might think about trying this too.

I was having endless problems whenever my OnePlus 9 connected to 5G standalone which was solved by disabling 5G SA but the Pixel doesn't have that option so I thought I was just going to be stuck without 5G as the problem came right back when I put my SIM in the 7 Pro. It was a hunch about eSIM that proved correct for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tony1208:
I was having connections issues this past weekend . I have Verizon pre paid 5 g service .

I lost connection for a few hrs so I started messing with the settings and took off the romaing data option and since that I have not dropped a call or lost connection again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ciobi:
I'm installing TD1A.221105.001 right now, but I don't have high hopes of this fixing anything, since these issues seem to go back to a year ago, and Google keeps fixing something while breaking something else with the cell connection. I guess I got what I deserved by hoping that this will magically get fixed, despite a proven record of incompetence from the team handling the phone connection. (If "incompetence" sounds harsh, I can justify my opinion.)

Well, while it's obvious that I cannot make a call or access the internet, I have no clue that somebody might be trying to reach me, and every once in a while I expect a call I really don't want to miss. Until P7P, I didn't even have to think about this. The signal was good enough pretty much anywhere for my previous phones to connect.

So something I'm considering doing is write a small app to beep when the phone lost the cell connection, so I can start the Voodoo practices of turning the airplane mode on and off or restarting the phone, or whatever else worked for somebody. It will drain the battery, but I'm fine with this. As this isn't some genius idea, I expect others have thought of it before, and perhaps implemented it, but I wasn't able to find such an app.

So I wonder if anybody here knows of such an app, which notifies you when you lost your cell connection.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zaras27:
We are going to a new century, and we have to make Voodoos for the calls .Google 2023 .....What else ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hi2all123:
Update: After installing patch 001 i still haven't lost the signal once, only 1 time it was appearing when they called me that i was speaking and i received a message from that call. The situation is not great and the quality of some calls are not very good either, but at least is much better than 2 days ago, before the new patch
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dimm0k:
anyone tried disabling DSDS? I noticed the ! the other day in my apartment and as soon as I disable DSDS the ! went away and hasn't come back since.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zaras27:
If I disable this my 2 lines are working and receive or make calls ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tom beckett:
I didn t know if you had seen my answer here.

I have also this pb.

For moment not try last update november.

I solved my problem with downgrade in a2 version
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ytujok:
I have exactly the same problem with communication, indeed, while I was on the very first A2 firmware, but when I updated to the latest, everything became bad again. Have you tried TD1A.221105.001.A1? It's the newest modem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tom beckett:
A1 is last but for telia

Last général is for 001

For moment not tried Because i m boried to backup and réinstall again if not work
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hi2all123:
New update: As i write in previous posts with the update the signal problem is much better. But today 3 days later, with lte on the signal lost and i had to reboot the phone to regain the signal.

Question: If i root the phone i can enable 5g and volte in Greece which is unsupported country, the signal problems will be fixed too? Does anyone know?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ytujok:
firmware TD1A.221105.001.A1 did not help me solve problems with the inability to get through to anyone. I rolled back to A2 again ... I don’t remember what could be the reason that everything is in order on the very first firmware, but such terrible problems begin on the other ones.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] michaeljc70:
I had a 6 Pro and had problems with connectivity all the time and returned it. I have the 7 Pro now. I had not problems until yesterday. I flew home from Europe last night and couldn't get internet after switching sims (e-sim). I rebooted, airplane mode, etc. 10 times. I waited 15 minutes. Nothing. What worked for me is changing from 5G to LTE. Nothing else fixed it. Very frustrating.

FWIW...during this time I had no internet, I did receive a phone call so that did work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vmrgav:
I had a similar issues with my P7P, I tried all aforementioned solutions and it didn't work. Problem was there every day, it was very frustrating. So one night I wrote a feedback to Google over my P7P explaining the issues and all... The next morning there was a Play Store notification telling me to update an app called SIM Manager. I performed the update. Three days have past and not once did my P7P lost the cellular connection.

Hopefully this helps somebody else. Link to the app:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hellercz:
Hi there,

I have Pixel 7 Pro since yesterday and I am satisfied with the phone so far, except for one thing.

I'm no expert, so I'll describe it half-heartedly. My mobile phone shows me the 4G network and when a call comes in or I go to make a call, it automatically switches to EDGE and immediately back to 4G when the call ends.

And today at work, I had about 15 phone calls , I received a SMS that the other party could not reach me. I called back with no problem.

I'm a little nervous about this conversational issue. I tried all possible updates, everything is up to date. And I don't know how to proceed.

Is it caused by a bad compatibility between my mobile operator and the Pixel?

(From Czechia , O2 Czech)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Sounds like there is no carrier settings for your carrier. There is a VoLTE Magisk module you can try

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
Yall must have done something right, Sim Manager was updated today.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] akulp:
Hi.

The same problem here... I think the main reason for that is, that your carrier don't have 3G network active anymore. Therefore phone goes to 2G between call and that's why you have problems similar as we have on our national carrier in Slovenia. Than there is another carrier which still have 3G network active and users says that they don't have such problems on P7 (pro). But, there is very small number of users, so this info is not 100%.

My observations:

I'm from Slovenia, an unsupported country (and my carrier) by Google so no 5G connectivity, therefore we can't use VoLTE/VoWIFi on Pixel phones.

I didn't try root... I don't even need 5G I just need a working phone. :)

In one of our forums there is a thread where there are some users (I'm one of them) who have problems that sometimes the phone is in "no service" mode - so there is no cellular connection and as you said others can't reach you.

Second problem is that after a few minutes of talking (not in every call, it has to be longer than about 5, 6 minutes) there comes a strange "crackling" sound. Then after the call is dropped and established back it is ok until the call is longer....

Some people noticed that when you're in a call network it is 2G and that could be a potential problem. I tried to disable "Allow 2G" option under the Network->SIMS menu and in that case I can't make calls and I'm unavailable to other callers, but I can use SMS and data.

Some other operators force 3G and it looks like those users don't have those problems. So maybe this can be somehow connected with operators which force 2G when you're in a call.

I'm not sure if SIM manager version has smth to do with that as many of you talking about. My version is: D.2.1.473171966

EDIT: few min ago one of users reported that "crackling" sounds on longer calls appears on 2G with different carriers.

When he used 3G between call (some carriers support that) there was no such problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hellercz:
Today I bought a SIM card from another operator and I have the same problem!

My mobile phone shows me the 4G network and when a call comes in or I go to make a call, it automatically switches to EDGE and immediately back to 4G when the call ends.

Not only O2 , now tested on Vodafone.

What is the problem and can it be solved? I do not understand that.

Just switch to a2 rom and lock update.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cvick:
If you are in an unsupported country you don't have VoLTE, so you can't have calls on 4G. If you make a call without VoLTE, phone automatically switch to 3G or 2G network.

As I know Czechia is not supported country, so no 5G, VoLTE and VoWiFi. Google is blocking this option in unsupported country. In my country (Slovenia), same problem.

I have 2 SIMs (one of them eSIM) and I too lose connection very often and i usually lose the connection (question mark on the icon) with both SIMs... It can hardly be that the 2 networks have a problem at the same time...

So it means there is a problem with the phone itself (software and or hardware).

😡 Very disappointed that such a poor connection is possible on a 2022 phone out of the box.

After reading this thread I have forced for the 2 SIMs to not go to 5G (as my two subscriptions don't support 5G) and I'll report back if this helps.

I upgraded from the P6P to the P7P with the hope of better cell service on Verizon. I have been disappointed.

On the November update (TD1A.221105.003, Nov 2022, Verizon, Verizon MVNOs). Switched off 5g, switched off 2g, switched off adaptive connectivity and switched off data roaming. Still getting exclamation point which requires a reboot to make it go away.
