Is there any hidden bands in our phones ? I was reading the processors specs and there's a few bands that don't show up on out phones specs . I was just wondering is there any hidden bands that are lock down by software ? Is so can we unlock them ? And how hard would it be ?
:good:
Hey m8,
I actual ran into the same problem with the LTE Bands.
Special the o2 Band 20 is the one i really want to unlock
because its the only band that o2 is using here in Germany.
I saw an Thread in the OnePlus section so there must be someone
around who can manage this on the OPPO

yeah since 1996, its an old MK2 and its not a diesel :laugh:
I really got into reading the thread for about several hours and red it over and over again...
My concern about getting the whole thing done before doing any actual work is the HEX Register
where the Bands are stored... (snapdragon 615 compared to the one in the thread).
But we will see and maaaaybeeee OPPO (or CM?) will do an update which would
be awesome.

Yeah please let us know what you find out. In the meantime in the US if you are on T Mobile you can use the phone with full H+ speeds. I am consistently getting anywhere from 4 to 10 Mpbs. To stabilize the signal I went and downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BBsRs.HSPAP.Tweaker and it works like a charm.
Haven't seen this mentioned here. It's been confirmed on Twitter that the Nokia 8 will get ARCore support and face unlock.
No ETA yet, but it's really cool to see the continued support for Nokia OG flagship :good:
Next year this update will come or not.... They promise other things and nothing comes....

I don't really think they did. They did, however, promise to look into it at some unspecified time while making clear it's not a top priority: Twitter thread. It's probably even less of a priority for them now.
I'm not worried about ARCore and face unlock :cyclops:
lol, ARCore on this phone won't have any devs. You know why?
Because the majority of devs ditched this phone because of no official bootloader unlock.
Ironic, isn't it.

Isn't the point of it getting ARCore that it will be able to run standard ARCore apps? I can live without creepy Samsung cartoon emoji ?
Phone has been out for 10 months, receives regular updates on time so who cares about unlocked bootloader..? And if it's so important to you why did you even buy it without making sure it can be unlocked at first. Typical XDA whine...

Has also got me out of the continuous wipe, flash and setup routine. Liberating. Just hope Nokia at least decide to support development when they stop.

Firstly, How long do you thing you'll recieve regular updates? HMD almost have started abandoning their first flagship.
Secondly, when the phone was released, who knew that hmd will not be providing support for unlocking bootloader. Everyone bought it with a hope and love for Nokia brand
But the face unlock is already in the security settings. Just active the trust factor for Google Smart Lock and you've got the last option on Smart Lock list which is face unlock.

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....

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 ?

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.

This is a temporary fix until Poco solves the Widevine issue for watching Netflix in HD and UltraHD.
Hi everyone, I have found a modded version of Netflix which allows HD and Ultra HD streaming on devices with WideVine L3 support.
I have extensively tested this app, it actually streams in 720p and above on Poco F1.
Instructions for 1st run:
Skip update and sign in, it may lag just close the app and reopen it and it will work after that flawlessly.
The link for HD only is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i08g9us89xeu1xf/netflixlatest.hdonly.apk/file
And The link for Ultra HD is:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8wmaxnftgr1h2m4/netflixlatest.ultrahd.apk/file
Credits:
The original thread is https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349
I spied the XDA thread on this issue. Great to have easy access to the APK.
The point stands though that it's harder than you might think to distinguish between Netflix at ultra HD and 540p on a phone, with the former using a lot more data.
Good to have the option though ?

I tested the HD one, maybe you could try that one. Ultra HD may not work as the screen itself is full hd and not 4k.
Try a different show too.

It just shows HD logo beside the title but it actually doesn't work. If anything doesn't work on least copyrighted test patterns - it won't work on anything in Netflux. I also tried this on my unofficial Android box which has Widevine L1 but also fails and caps the video at 480p. The mod is just to enable the l9go besides the title

Widevine Is not a software issue its hardware issue. Xiaomi cant update phones and Silve it just like that. Oneplus users had to return their devices to manufacturer to solve this so...

Its just a certification process which is free of cost. Check this link out

Btw the official miui forum states that it is already in development with google and Qualcomm.

It's actually a software issue, but the security key is stored in a secure partition that can only be accessed by authorised computers from manufacturers.

I have personally seen @franciscofranco work for N5 and excited to see his magic on poco as well.
It's impressive list with great devs so i think poco is gonna fly very high
It seems very weird, the selected developers are all from India and far from being famous (or at least not as much as others on the list).
Still a great news
Not weird at all. Poco was launched in and is primarily targeted to India. Most owners are probably Indians.

The reason for majority of Indian Dev are because the r the one who have been supporting Xiaomi devices from the past few years and looking at their past history with the Xiaomi device, they have been selected

I think all of them who are in that list will receive the device and not only the 3 whose name are last. That's just selected by community members apart form above list which was suggested by XDA team.

I'm very sorry, I read too fast. My bad.
Are the current ROM's we have blind-builds or what? The instructions are generic, and they all just boot loop for me (and I know what I'm doing).
But it seems to work for others.
So what's the problem? Maybe they're built against the MIUI 9 blobs or something, but I CBF downloading and flashing another 2GB firmware just yet....
Maybe my phone knows I actually like MIUI more and is just refusing to work out of spite lol
Off to a pretty bad start, though.
