These features all were available on same phone and same network before working fine and stopped working a few months before the 3g shutdown and after the shutdown it made it so Im unable to make calls at all since I cant use VoLTE. Im not sure if they had pushed a bad configuration to prepare for this whether intentional or not or if it was result of a bad configuration caused by an Android security update or something. I’ve heard of this happening a lot particularly with unlocked phones on bring your own phone prepaid plans.

Yes, it’s difficult to get ahold of anyone who understands what is going on. I’m not even sure if i can contact Verizon since their support looks like it’s setup where you need a Verizon account for them to assist and my service is through Straight Talk which while its now owned by Verizon I imagine they will give me the runaround because of that small detail and the people at Straight Talk arent high up enough to know some details about the network I would assume as Ive been on the line with them a few times already and their solution came down to get a new phone which I dont want to be pushed into even if it came to a point they start offering it for free since I dont want this to be the case in the future potentially happening over and over. I want them to show they are competent enough to run their own network. The Straight Talk support just keep doing the same things even after getting to higher levels of support, checking my IMEI and ICCID are correct and that they have VoLTE turned on their side in some settings then commonly they work backwards and assume I’m an idiot and ask if I have data turned on.
[General Questions and Answers] slamkeys:
this is a real pain. Had made a thread for my specific phone and didnt get any answers after a few months. Ive kept trying to contact customer support and i keep winding up with the people who dont understand what is going on even though i heard someone on staff knows what it is and fixed it unless somehow it was some different problem. I dont know what to do.

Verizon owns StaightTalk but to file a report on network problems on their online form requires a Verizon account number which I dont have. It has been a while since i tried so I cant recall for sure but I think i may have tried to call Verizon and they requested by an automated system my Verizon account number and I couldnt get past that message. I kept being run in circles with Straight Talk customer support starting with the online support so i could just copy and paste my message over and over person to person then they would make me take a call to be on a higher level up and sometimes id get one level up from that and they still had no idea what was wrong even though I know what the problem is and i think i told them but they didnt understand And just kept repeating to buy a new phone compatible with the network which this one is already. I just am so tired of dealing with customer support for American phone companies in general.

I missed one very important advantage of using a Pixel device for backups:

Assuming that it takes 10 years of Google One subscription to recover the cost of the Pixel phone purchased today, i.e. the break-even period is 10 years, one must remember that the hundreds of GBs of pictures and videos over this period will continue to be stored for free for life (if backed up using a Pixel device), but one has to continue paying a fat subscription for these files for the rest of life with a Google One subscription.

This makes backing up using a Pixel 5 or older Pixel phone a financially sound decision over the long term.​
[General Topics] RigobertoDC:
I have a subscription to Google One but the storage is about to fill. I am considering buying a Google Pixel XL to make my backup to Google Photos with unlimited original quality.

The Google Pixel XL has Android 10, but there is a version of Lineage OS with Android 14.

Do you know if when updating with this ROM, it will still be detected as Google Pixel XL and will continue to do the backup in original quality?

Hello! Anyone is using Watch 5 pro with this phone? I read somewhere that there were some problems with pairing but someone solved this. There should be also a workaround to use Samsung Health (mainly for ECG).
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Darudakos:
Good evening, i'm using Galaxy watch 5 with vivo x90 pro for allmost 2 months. With the latest June update PD2242BF_EX_A_13.1.13.8.W30 i've got disconnections all the time, i can't use the watch.

I've already tested with another phone, that my watch is ok!

Anybody else with the same problem?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Gamer8999:
So for me it looks like I can switch on and set up the smartwatch the first time, but as soon as I want to drag watch faces onto the watch or want to display whats app messages, nothing arrives and the watch faces show me that Die clock is not connected. (watch 4 and vivo x90 pro+) after a reboot wearble still opens but when i press connect nothing happens until it says the watch cannot be connected. Wear OS seems to connect, but that doesn't do me much good. it can also be paired easily via bluetooth in the cell phone (cell phone menu)
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] bognik:
I don't have that watch (i've a Gw2 with Tizen that's work perfectly btw) but you can refer to this post to try to solve your issue https://xdaforums.com/t/galaxy-watch-5-good-news-bad-news.4482001/post-88673477

I read somewhere that Samsung Watch 5 Pro with Vivo X90 Pro+ should be paired / registered using Samsung Health app instead of with the Galaxy Wearable app

This WORKED FOR ME 🙂

Samsung Health - settings - accessories - Smart Watches - Samsung Watch 5 Pro - Register
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Darudakos:
Do i need to uninstall the galaxy wearable app ?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] dezborders:
I had both v store and play store wear os apps installed so won't do any harm for you to install them both
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Darudakos:
Unfortunately when i go to accessories and choose galaxy watch 5 - then opens Galaxy wearable app and then says it can't connect with my watch.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] dezborders:
I had both v-apps and play-store versions of wear-os app installed if that helps
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Darudakos:
What do you mean v-apps ? Thank you.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] dezborders:
Vivo apps store

There are 2 versions of Wear OS app

1 on vivo app store

1 on Google play store

I had both installed before I found an article on internet saying to register watch 5 Pro using Samsung Health app and not using wearable app

I had tried for several hours registering via wear os and galaxy wearable with no luck

Samsung Health accessories register device worked first time for me and connection was rock solid stable
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Darudakos:
Thank you very much.

It worked !!

I had to uninstall galaxy wearable and then run Samsung health - accessories..

Then install Samsung wearable again and worked fine.

Glad it worked for some of you I spent hours on this problem and purely by accident I found the samsung health workaround online so I cannot even take credit for it lol

Then for all 4 apps make sure all permissions are enabled

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Hello,

I now own my Kaiser for about one year (or a little less). But I'm still not satisfied about the overall speed of the device. I'm not talking about reading videos or playing games, just about "normal" use of the Kaiser.

For exemple, opening the HTC phone application (dial pad) takes around 3 seconds. Then, if I dial a number quickly, it "forget" some buttons I pushed. I need to dial my number slowly for the phone to take each button I push ... This is very frustrating !

Another exemple is going to landscape mode which takes 4 seconds ! And when it is in landscape, my Kaiser is like freezed for about 2 other seconds before I can use it.

A 3rd exemple, when answering calls: my Kaiser rings, I press the green button to answer, but it takes around 2-3 seconds before it does really answer. In the mean time, I sometimes loose my call, and this is really frustrating again !

I know I'm only talking about seconds, but I use my Kaiser a lot in a day, and these seconds become minutes ! And when I need to use my Kaiser quickly, these seconds appear much longer than they really are.

My ROM is the original HTC 6.1 ROM. My Kaiser is as light as possible (no Manilla 2D !), but it does not seem to be enough for my Kaiser to be fast.

I tried some cooked ROMS, but from what I experienced the HTC 6.1 is the faster. I also tweaked my Kaiser with all the informations I could find on this great forum (and KaiserTweak)

I would really enjoy an overclocker utility but it does not exist.

So, about you, are you satisfied with your Kaiser speed ?

Isn't there days where you would throw it against a wall because of these anoying lags ?

Thanks !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shinare:
If this damn thing eats another microSD card I AM going to throw it against the wall. I'm getting tired of loosing my crap and having to re-do everything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
what about the speed of your ka

iser : is it ok for you ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shinare:
No complaints about the "speedyness" of the tilt after flashing to a good ROM. If another one fails I'm sending it back and demanding an upgrade to a Fuze tho.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aagil001:
i haven't had mine for very long but I got a little over-excited in the first few weeks and installed anything i could get my hands on. i just did a hard reset, followed by a soft reset to remove the bloatware, and i've noticed that my phone is a lot faster.

your problems do sound infuriating, have you tried backing up your data and wiping the slate clean?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Autourdupc:
Dear,

Same problems as yours... Using same rom from HTC !

Very slow phone for each task i need

Boring phone when hang-up or dialing, boring when using tt6 and now tt7 (too slow when driving in little streets, and sometimes truncating voices messages), and more generally, very very slow (and i do not speak about camera).

Sure, this version is really a big bug

Comparing to other kind of phones, even cheaper models runs better (camera better and faster, gps fix faster, gps available even in flight mode.

Usually, when opening keyboard, applications hangs due to the screen rotation, and become available a long time after

Definitively, a real diseapointing device.

I'm now waiting for the renewal of my phone contract to change for something better (sure that is not difficult to find)

Regards,

Laurent
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sinning:
I highly recommend flashing a custom rom.

The rom chef's have done a fantastic job tweaking them to run much faster than the stock roms. Try on and you'll never look back.

I'm currently using the Nov 15'th Hyperdragon Rom and I have virtually no complaints about the speed of the rom for day to day activities. M2D runs very smoothly and is much more friendly to your fingers than any of the stock roms I've used.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks a lot ! i did the hard reset followed by the soft reset , then I restored my data : now my Kaiser goes faster ! thanks again !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _MsG_:
I have the same issue, not that the kaiser is really slow, but when I compare it with a Wizard (both have custom roms) the Wizard does things a lot faster, like opening start menu, scrolling isn't laggy, change tabs is fast. No matter what rom I use on my kaiser, I can't get to the use speed of the Wizard. Maybe it is because I install programs on the SD instead of the phone itself?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wasilvers:
Nothing to Compare to

I don't have anything to really compare to, but my Kaiser - Bloatware removed - seems to work well. My only real complaint is that ending a call with the touchscreen takes a few seconds, but the red end key ends it pretty quick. If there is a delay on some things, it is far outweighed by the functionality I feel I'm getting from my tilt. I use it as primary pc - email, web, movies, word, excel, etc..

I tell people it is a mini computer with a phone added on as an afterthought. That is why with comes with such a crappy phone interface. I downloaded a new skin and it looks and works excellent.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veryviral:
Call ending speed can be instant. Use Kaiser Tweak / Advanced Config tool to change this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anoano:
I noticed a marked improvement since I use some of the SKTools utilities like:

- Optimize! http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html

- FreeUP RAM Service http://s-k-tools.com/?m_freeuprams.html

- Registry optimization http://s-k-tools.com/?/sktools/m_regopt.html

It has many other features and you can download a trial. It's really worth a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Autourdupc:
dear all,

how can you say that the kaiser isnot slow ?

I use PIE to read this forum, this thread takes 30 to 40 sec to load for 470 kB, while it takes few seconds to dowload bigger files !

I only use pie,tt7 and outlook sync for contacts and appointments.

I also tested 3 roms and tried to tweak some settings, without getting a normal speed.

kaiser is definitively a slow computer with a phone.

basic phones are more responsives than kaiser on many bundled applications.

I do think that kaiser has a lake of something... Maybe some drivers are missing, because if you look at the internal chipset used inside the kaiser, it should very very more powerfull
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bennyj71:

Please enlighten me, because I hate this. I have to push the button multiples times to disconnect. I have SK Tools as well. It has many good features, unfortunately some of the things it recommends tweaking I have idea what those things are for. I need the cheat sheet for invalid registry entries and values.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] spaul:
I do experience what you describe and I've tried many different ROMs, right now I'm using Garmin.Dk 8 without Manila2d and all the "speed fixes" available.

It's just like that, it has Windows...

But on the other hand, I like that, because it makes it very customizable.

Depends on what you value most.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moosic:
I had the same issue with dialing numbers. It pissed me off so much I bought an iPhone. I don't have issues with dialing numbers now. I really miss running custom ROMs though.

The iPhone has a lot of other issues, I put up with them because the web browsing experience is better and I can dial without loosing numbers. I wish HTC would get it together, they are very close... I tried a Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a couple of days and couldn't get used to the missing dpad.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
And you just hang around the Kaiser forum with your iPhone 'cause you miss us?:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Autourdupc:
dear Spaul,

Windows is not the problem... Other htc phones have Windows and are fast. i.e. TYTN I is faster !

Problem is software, maybe drivers or hardware layer

He has to keep up because he realizes the other 99% of the WM functionality is missing on his new phone and he'll want to come back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
Same thing here

Yeah I experience exactly the same things with mine. I'm not going out the custom ROM path, since it's a company phone. After having tried all sorts of things, I've kind of just accepted its slowness.

But one thing is for sure. After using first the s710, and the the tytn-ii, I'm 95% sure that my next phone is not going to be a HTC, unless I see some very convincing real life demo of the device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
I wonder where you got that... my Tytn I was an utterly slow brick whatever the ROM and tweaks. My Kaiser is at least twice as fast with no particular effort, and even better with a good ROM and some tweaks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks for your answers, now I know the Kaiser is also slow for you ! The problem is even new HTC devices are slow. I saw the Touch HD working and it was also lagging with Manilla and some other apps ... I think its 520mhz processor is too slow for a 800x480 screen definition. Now we can find 800 mhz mobile processors, why didn't they choose this one ? More and more I think HTC will not be my future phone brand ...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Battery life, as usual...

WM just needs a complete revamp. Until then there's no way the devices will become miraculously fast.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pinaklonkar:
I got a brand new AT&T recently running WM6.1 stock. I simply removed the bloatware using the hard reset + soft reset as soon as I did the last "tap" to start using the device (I saw the Today screen just for a flash of a second).

I should say that the device is now operating much better. All the things that were kind of oddly placed are now in the right folders. The speed is improved (free RAM). I modded my power profile carefully (thanks to this website) my battery must be lasting for about 2 days from a full charge.

[Google Camera Mods] TheMystic:
There are multiple variants of GCam with the same version number from the same developer.

Can anyone explain what each variant is suitable for:

View attachment 5863255
[Google Camera Mods] Dayuser:
Here is good explanation from LMC R15 section.

Package names:

Needed for phones with restricted access to the extra cameras (wide, telephoto, etc).

• _snapcam / org.codeaurora.snapcam: devices with Snapdragon processors (eg: OnePlus).

• _qcamera3 / org.codeaurora.qcamera3: devices with Snapdragon processors.

• _aweme / com.ss.android.ugc.aweme: some Realme, OPPO, and OnePlus devices.

• _ruler / com.samsung.android.ruler: for Samsung devices.

• _scan3d / com.samsung.android.scan3d: for Samsung devices.

• _glens / com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng: if you want to use Google Lens.

If your phone doesn't have any restriction, you can use different packages to have different GCams installed side-by-side.
[Google Camera Mods] TheMystic:
Thank you for the answer. There is still some questions though:

1. For Samsung phones, which one is more suitable: snap or ruler or scan3d or qcam? I know one can install each one (one at a time) and check, but it would help to know how each variant is different from the other. Or are ruler and scan3d for Exynos based Samsung phones?

2. Some of the APKs work fine with the main lens, but the moment I switch a lens, the app crashes. Given the infinite number of GCam variants available, it becomes very difficult to find one that works perfectly with a particular device, and more so when there are multiple variants with the same model number from the same developer.
[Google Camera Mods] Dayuser:
1. I don't know differents of ruler and scan3d. Both are for samsung exynos or snapdragon.

2. This sound like lens ID is incorrect and app crashes.
[Google Camera Mods] faageln:
One small question, I have a Realme 9i, which version is best for me?
[Google Camera Mods] Dayuser:
Try snap or aweme.
[Google Camera Mods] billubakra:
Thanks for this. Have tried many versions from different devs of ruler and scan3d for Samsung Note 10 Lite but couldn't find a working version. Can you please share which version of which dev should I try? And some devs give an option to upload xml files, can you please eli5 what that is?

@Dayuser for Poco X3 pro and Poco X6 pro which gcams i should use?

Hi, For those with the POCO X3 Pro, what is the best GCam that is currently available to use - most stable, with better quality, etc.... I have tested some GCams from X3 NFC, but is a shot in the dark - some work, but i think is room to improve...
