[Q] what about the quantum??

but has the quantum been abandoned by lg? every phone is getting updates right now, but not the quantum...i need internet sharing, and also the camera and audio needs some fixes...what you think??

I don't really know, but the LG Optimus 7 got tethering update a while back.

Yeah it doesn't seem like any c-900 variants have received any post-mango updates.
waiting on:
-Tethering drivers
-7740 update
I contacted LG but they have ignored me so far...

I am positive that 7740 will come to Quantum. It's an OS update. They only started this and many have reported no sign of the update on their devices yet. As for tethering that's a different story and "tethered" to hardware. Seeing that other devices got this already, I am rather pessimistic.
Beggy, what do you mean by camera and audio fixes? Everything here is working perfectly fine.

even i am very much disappointed. I bought Quantum only because of the layout keyboard.
Beggy i go with you. Camera is very buggy for me, none of the pics are of good quality. But audio is fine.
Expecting a update soon from LG.
Lets wait

the quantum doesn't have a good camera. it does make decent pictures. That is all that one can expect from a 5MP camera at this size. there is nothing LG can do about unless they come out with a new device. if you want to take good pictures use a camera or buy a top notch phone.

i mean the quality of the speaker, it's very disappointing to me....i think that it only needs some driver fixes...before i had an omnia7, the picture's quality was really good as for the videos...but the quantum in the videos is really bad, everything's dark and the led doesn't help so much (in videos i mean)...i think lg cares only about its android phones and, at least, the optimus 7....

but speaker is hardware. there is no firmware upgrade that will help. as for the videos, they are perfectly fine here. did you set your brightness to full and compare?
either way, it sounds like you need to buy a new phone

Is there any other way to get the 7740 update ?
Some one posted the official WPupdate.cab file for the 7740 update, can we use that cab file to update using custom tools?
Is that recommended ?

7740 provides only minor fixes. I know that with ATT I can usually wait another month until it gets to my phone. Seeing that other people have to re-unlock their phones I just wait until it happens.

I used this registry changes and got the 7740 update instantly.
MobileOperator: VOD-DE
MOName: Vodafone
OEMDeviceName: Atlantic_VDF_DE
but anyhow, there is no tethering.

It seems there are only 5 carriers who have released the Quantum in the world:
Telstra - c900k
Telecom NZ - c900k
Bell - c900b
ATT - c900
SaskTel - c900b
I have spoken to CSRs from all except for ATT, and all except Sasktel have said that they have no information.
Here is the response from Sasktel:
Thanks for your question. The WiFi hotstop/tethering will not be a feature on SaskTel's version of the Optimus Quantum due to hardware limitations. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks for using www.sasktel.com. We appreciate your business.
Sincerely,
SaskTel Customer Services Team

I have also contacted LG Canada, LG USA, and LG Aus/NZ
All of them also said they have no info, but LG Canada also said this:
Unfortunately according to the information we were provided this is not an available feature for the Windows 7 phone.
Thanks

So not looking very good... can someone please contact ATT and report back? You need to be an ATT customer to talk with their customer service apparently.

What do you guys think. Something to be concerned about ?

dude, can you please provide the exact answer from the xiaomi represantative? because there is nowhere on the internet the information you just said and spreading false information is not ok.
Unlocking a xiaomi bootloader has a duration between 72h and 360h but that min of 72h is never achieved....

This is only for the poco f1. Other phones will still take more time!
Sent from my Galaxy S7 using XDA Labs

Do you guys think they will release up to date and complete kernel sources within a very short period of time of release of the Mi Mix 3 ?

My new mi mix2s has 720hr waiting time, so likely to be the same

Wonder what it's going to be, 720hr would be a real killer. 72hr would be ok
Anyone has more information?

The time limit is to stop resellers taking the Chinese variant and putting global ROM then selling it as the global variant without the proper bands. Not sure why it's so long though a bit of a joke.

So, what happens if you just buy a Global Version from Amazon ? Shouldn't you be able to get Xiaomi to drop the waiting time a bit ?

What does where u buy it from have to do with anything?

so regardless of the version (china or global) you'd have to wait 720hr?

If I'm not buying a Chinese variant from a reseller, then this restriction would make no sense.

I believe it's changed now you have to join GitHub channel and you get instant unlock, unless that's just for old photos. I was helping someone get rid of vendor ROM which he'd had for 18 months, no updates, he unlocked instantly.

Perhaps to much overload for a phone, try saving your capture in a external drive or an otg.

But it's not happening with my friends phones...that asking using same op6
Can I go for service centre for exchange?

Did you try a custom rom?
As far as I know, unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty on Oneplus phones.

Seems like software issue. Is your install the same as theirs? Do your friends also record while using discord?

Yes as same as me

General HEVC and Instagram stories

Hello
I just noticed I can't upload video clips recorded with HEVC format and share from gallery to Instagram stories, it won't upload, trying with the S21 it works no problem, if I disable HEVC it works, can someone else try and confirm this is the case? I don't know if Samsung or Instagram is to blame. Thanks

yeah, how to notify them about it? or hopefully it gets fixed with coming software update?

Likely the phone. Check permissions. Maybe the hevc version.
I won't let Instagram run on my phone... or fb, WhatsApp etc. Security risk.
If it can't be logged on the browser and needs a "special" app to use it, no go. Trashware.

You could notify Instagram and see if they can do anything about it.
It's typically not something you can fix on your own, since it's a file format that has to be supported by the app. Trolls will be trolls, though.

You could try with them, but there's a pretty good chance they will give you the boilerplate "not all apps support this format" explanation.

It could be as silly as a mimetype update. I was looking to see if there are any reports about an update to the format or anything like that, but most sources are dated enough to still say Facebook and friends don't support the format at all.

yeah, I mean it's works great with the S21 and both have same software so it must be something that easily can be fixed, anyway I contacted Instagram about it through the app, we'll see what stupid answer I get back.

Alright. I'll keep looking around. I know I ended up giving up on it because it wasn't supported in Signal and I didn't have the motivation.

I see, it saves 50% space recording with HEVC compared to old format so I've used it since Samsung offered that option and it worked with no problem sharing clips to Instagram stories.

I tried with another Flip3 and exact same problem.

it's now working with latest update.

There were some kernel updates for hevc, but it may have also been a typo
