[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I do mean lens flare, i am sorry i spelt it flair and confused you.

Just speculating but it looks like it is caused by the plain glass covering the primary lens and not the optics themselves which do have an anti reflective coating. Given how badly the Pixel 7 and 6 series handle lens flare i would not put anything on the camera bar with the faintest chance or making it worse by scatting even more light.

Of course this is all just my opinion, it doesn't make it right or a matter of fact.

I've never had a screen protector or lens protector since my first smartphone in 2010. But, my phone stays in a belt case (turtleback). I don't shove it in my pocket or anything like that.

[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
I have successfully latched on to both Jio 5g and Airtel 5g using Network Signal Guru app (rooting required).

Below are the requirements.

1.

Jio sim with true 5g welcome offer and also proper 5g signals at your location (you can use speedtest.net application to know the 5g signals availability).

(OR)

AIRTEL SIM

2. Nsg app.

3. Open NSG and select respective sim and then go to Band Selection. Change the value from AUTOMATIC to NR/LTE

4. Restart

Update 1(9 Jan 2023) - Airtel has still not Whitelisted Pixel devices. So network reset(reset wifi , Bluetooth and network option in settings) is required everytime you restart your device.

Update 2 (15 Jan 2023) - Latest qpr2 beta(9 Jan 2023) build enabled 5g feature. So root is no more required.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Able to latch onto 3500Mhz at different location.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Working fine with Airtel 5g NSA as well.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Hello, I have Pixel 6a Jan updated, rooted with Jio 5G sim enabled 5G offer.

But even after following your instructions, phone refuses to connect to 5G.

@sampathkumar2811

The same sim shows 5G in iPhone 13 Pro Max at same location and speedtest gives 700-900 Mbps which means I am in a strong network area.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Install Netmonster app and send me screenshot by hiding your location details.

Two possibilities.

1. Signal not found.

2. Jio 5g welcome offer not activated.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Same sim has 5G activated when put in iPhone 13 Pro Max when kept on the exact same desk.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Can you try to reset network and then try above steps?
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
When we select NR/LTE, it lists all LTE bands and I select LTE_ALL (NRBand:TBD)

Reboot

Still on LTE.

Basically forcing NR Only mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* does absolutely nothing.

Indian Pixel 6a model number: GX7AS

Under Sim, my Operator settings version is dated 2022-08-13
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
4636 menu won't work anything for now.

Selecting NR combo within NSG only works and you have selected properly.

Contact me on telegram so that we can check further with screen recording.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
I'm too having same operator version. No issues with that.
[Google Pixel 6a] jennahemu:
Hey, i got operator version updated to 08/12/2022, on QPR2 BETA 2 . As i have pixel 6 unable to connect 5g, but i got option in setting 5G/LTE/3G. So i think if you update 6a to Beta, 5g might work without root.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Mine connects to 5G as I have the 5G Trial offer activated on my number. However, the 5G signal is less than half and speedtest does not go over 64kbps. Like Jio throttling my device via IMEI block or my Pixel 6a is busted with internal antenna problem. So 5G is unusable on my 6a (USA model but model number is same as Indian)

4G reception is absolutely fine.

@sampathkumar2811

My telegram is blocked because I requested too many OTPs. lol
[Google Pixel 6a] suku_patel_22:
My friend's 6A also has this issue of not connecting to n78 band. His phone connected to only 700mhz and had pathetic speeds.

My sim isnt activated yet and is not working. For Airtel on Pixel 6 it connects to 5G outside home and the maximum speed I got was 200Mbps.
[Google Pixel 6a] jennahemu:
Pixel 6? I am unable to use 5g in pixel 6 qpr 2 beta 2, i can see 5g option in setting but its not working.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Same here on US Pixel 6a model no. GX7AS which is same model number sold in India.

I hope it's just a beta issue because I purchased this for just 20k from OLX.

I loved Pixel 6a for following 2 reasons:

1. Connects at 2400 Mbps on my home wifi and so I am able to max out of my full gigabit connection. All other expensive phones like iPhone, Samsung reach 500-600 Mbps on Wifi only.

2. USB-C with 3.1 speeds.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Lot of pixel 6 users reported that 5g is working fine. If you are getting 64kbps only then raise a issue with Jio. It must be the problem with them. Certain BTS/band of Jio is having issues because they are in beta. Don't compare with other mobiles and comment here at all.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Who is comparing with other models? I spoke with Jio engineer and according to their system my Pixel 6a should be working fine with latest beta. Unfortunately it isn’t. Only connects to n28 (700Mhz) band with -110dbm signal strength with barely any data speed. Speedtest fails but web pages open excruciating slow.

I am even unable to root the latest beta. The boot.img when patched with latest magisk and flashed using fastboot does nothing.
[Google Pixel 6a] Siddk007:
flash the attached magisk patched beta 2 boot.img of P6a in fastboot. install latest magisk 25.2. It will show mesaage of additional step. Select the recommended option and reboot.
[Google Pixel 6a] Siddk007:
same for p6a on beta 2 with Airtel network. Eventhough 5G is selected in sim setting and also in *#*#4636#*#* menu - NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA, still wont connect to 5G, my area location has 5G btw.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
You have to use boot img pixel 7 for 6a also. There is a bug. You don't need to root the device if you are on latest beta2.

You have already reached out to me via telegram and compared with iphone. I am telling you not compare and look out for actual issue. Jio has issues with their BTS at some locations. So either try at different location or drop an email to jio appellate instead of calling them.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Screenshot from netmonster app and carrier version of Airtel?
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
700 Mhz has BW of 10 whereas n78 has BW of 100.

700 is primarily for voice VoNR. N78 Is for data. Jio is still in beta. Only at certain areas it is working. Between Airtel has good coverage when compared.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
The QPR 2.1 update released on 20th Jan mentioning fixes to 5G reception has also not fixed the Jio 5G problem. Phone latches to 5G with -110dBm signal strength rendering 5G practically useless with extreme packet loss and 0-64 kbps speeds. Speedtest fails.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Problem is either with your location site or sim.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Not at all. Tried it in Pune, Mumbai and use regular sim and e-sim too.

Plain fact is: Google has incompetent software developers who are still not able to fet 5G radio right.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
I don't find any such issues.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
@sampathkumar2811

Jio 5G has started working suddenly from today. I don't know calling Jio helped or it was update to carrier services today.

Few things:

1. Speeds are decent but not as consistent as iPhone 13 or later.

2. Pixel 6a has tendancy to revert to 4G where as iPhone 13 holds 5G signal far far better at the same place.

3. Signal strength bars always show 50% and it does not have any bearing on speedtest results. I can get 800 Mbps speeds and signal strength will still show poor reception.

4. Vo5G or VoNR works flawlessly with NR Only mode set under *#*#4636#*#*

5. I had to root and edit /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files/carrierconfig-com.google.android.carrier-89918740400278732189-2018.xml and add <boolean name="vonr_enabled_bool" value="true" /> before the </bundle> at the end. This gave me Vo5G option under Sim settings.

All the three work now: 5G data, Vo5G, VoWifi

Overall, I am kinda disappointed with 5G cellular reception and I hope Google boosts signal strength in future android updates because same modem Samsung Exynos 2100 is present in Samsung Galaxy S21 and those phones never had cellular connectivity issues.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Signal reception is kind of issue with Jio alone. Airtel 5g works fine. Jio signals are having issue as you said.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
But Jio signal is totally fine on other 5G Phones
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
So the issue is very simple. It is indeed UI issue not reception issue or anything.

Pixel is getting good Jio 5g signals indeed better than Samsung and iphone. But the issue is UI , especially with Jio 5g.

Usually if Signal is one bar then signal dbm will be above - 110 with pixel(or any other device). But for Jio 5g alone calibration is bad (I mean software to show signal strength UI).

Below is how Signal strength is being shown for JIO 5G.

If signal strength is below -60dbm then full bars.

If between -60 to -65 then one bar less than full. If between -65 to -85 then 2 bars less than full.

Anything above -85 is showing as single bar. iPhone or Samsung or any other device shows full signals even if you have -85dbm or - 90dbm whereas pixel shows 1 bar if strength crosses -85dbm.

All the above ranges are incorrectly calibrated for JIO 5G.

This is the reason why speeds and VoNR performance is really good but signals are showing bad. Airtel 5g works fine though.

This must be done intentionally but Google due to Jio's beta or could be any other reason.
[Google Pixel 6a] sampathkumar2811:
Also since Airtel 5g works in NSA mode, which is in conjunction with LTE , the signal shows as per LTE signal strength not actual 5g signal.
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Let's hope uncle Google fixes the issue in next beta. It's so obvious.
[Google Pixel 6a] suku_patel_22:
Could we enable VoNR via Shizuku?
[Google Pixel 6a] d5aqoep:
Yes you can

Pixel VoLTE patch tap on this GitHub link for steps to setup shizuku for the app to run and this Link for the VoNR app

This was the command which gave Shizuku access to AndroidIMS-CrossSIM app

adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
[Google Pixel 6a] Muzakir Lone:
Hello bro I have got the invitational Jio True 5G offer and my jio app says that my phone (Xiaomi MI 10i) is compatible with the 5g services but when I turn on the 5G settings in network it doesn't switch to 5g and jio app always says to turn on the settings in system settings, but it doesn't help. Please help me out with this problem.
[Google Pixel 6a] vandie:
wow this worked perfectly. I didn't want to root. I am on stock. shizuku worked like magic with the pixel ims app. the command line is not required as shizuku has inbuilt app permission option where the app shows once installed. but in my case Vo5G works only if in *#4636 I choose NR only. if its NR/Lte then calls fall back to Lte. Also with NR only selected and placing a call. I saw full bar 5g signals first time on pixel 6a. its like it changes some band when calling through VoNR. Thank you so much.

Can i lock to a specific 5g band ? on my pixel 6a
[Google Pixel 6a] hymnz:
Is this still relevant in 2024?
[Google Pixel 6a] mangojain:
I live in an area where the network is really poor. Since I am more interested in getting good indoor call coverage rather than data speeds, I tried locking the band to only N28 and using VoNR (on Jio). But the result was surprisingly bad, the reception was bad both indoors and outdoors. Now I have locked the band to 850 mhz and use only LTE, the P6a modem seems to work very well with 4g, but badly with 5g. Anyway, 5g implementation in India is pretty useless, so not a big loss.

[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] checksum.Burhan_Arif:
Hello fellow developers,

I recently rooted my A32 without any prior knowledge. I did it so i could install Nethunter app on it to essentially turn it into a functional portable kali linux device. Foolishly, i did not check the compatibility for my device with full nethunter installatiion. Turn out my device has one of the most annoying kernel. Can any android guru help me in flashing my phone with right software to run nethunter fully (everything currently works except for HID and WIFI injection).

I have tried to connect my Ralink rt3070 external usb wifi adapter with otg but my phone is not currently recongnising it as a wifi adapter.

Edit[5-20-2024]: From the suggestion of wavetsuname, i installed Kernel SU. I am thankfull to @wavetsuname for giving a suggestion to this problem. But its far from fixed.

Kernel SU is working on my phone. Enforcing kernel is working with magisk. Permissive kernel is neglecting magisk. But kernel su is working fine with permissive build. I am NOT getting any boot looping like people mentioned with permissive even though I am on one UI 5.0.

Still I am back where I started, I can't get wifi adapter to work with OTG. Nor HID is working. I have installed the wifi adapter firmware:

Thanks.

Hi,

I installed the drivers via magisk and rebooted. Look at all the attached screenshots. Unfortunately, my adapter is still not working with my phone I think my kernel doesn't support wifi adapters because on the GitHub page for wifi drivers, the person said that it might not work with such devices.

Anyways, one thing that is bugging me Is that when I type in lsusb, my adapter is showing properly with its default chipset. But after running ifconfig, I get no "wlan1". I only see the phone's adapter which is very weird.

Look at the screenshots

In the link above is a forum for my kernel, which should have a good enough flashing guide.

Monitor mode should come with drivers for the external wifi adapters, wifi injection support is also enabled, have a go at it and tell me if you face any issues

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. :)

I picked up a S620 a few months ago, and finally upgraded it to the official WM6 ROM linked in the sticky (1.33.422.1) a few weeks ago. (I couldn't do it until I found the USPL.bat file - thanks to the author!)

I've installed Blackberry Connect 4, and it's working fine, except for the fact that my corporate BES IT Policy insists on locking the device after five minutes of inactivity. "Annoying" is an understatement.

I found some directions on how to bypass it at the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=336355

but that method uses Memmaid. I downloaded it, but it won't work on WM6 standard. I tried Task Manager from Fdcsoft, but that won't do it, and the interface doesn't really work on WM6. I also grabbed SK tools, but that won't seem to let me stop the service. What can I use that will let me do this? I'd prefer free, but I'm willing to pay for something that works well.

Thanks in advance!

So how can i stop it after it's already running?

[Apple Watch] Zola Fisher:
To check the battery percentage on an Apple Watch, you can open the Watch app on your iPhone, then select ‘My Watch’, and then ‘General’. Here, you’ll find a ‘Battery’ section with the current battery level and a graph of recent usage. You can also check the battery percentage directly on the Apple Watch itself. To do this, press the Digital Crown to open the Home screen, then swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center. The battery percentage will be shown in the top-left corner of the screen.
