Verizon Auto Update.
Was on my phone and saw something downloading, it's an update. Has anyone else gotten this on VZW?
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

As long as it doesn't install itself.

Incoming Verizon Update
Just got the notification. Waiting on WiFi it says.

Nothing special

I'm going to avoid it in case they patched something. So far it seems you can avoid it by staying off of WiFi.
edit: It started downloading on LTE... I killed Software Update and it keeps respawning.

If you go in to system updates through the settings and check for the update, you have 3 options, No Thanks, Download Later, and Download Now.
If you click No Thanks, the alert goes away. It will even state in the system update app that the last update (on June 30th, 2105) failed.
Download later allows you to choose a time that better suits you.
And of course Download Now, starts the process right now.
Hope this helps.

When i go to system update all i have is update now or later. I don't get the no thanks option.

I didn't get any pop up notifications. I was on WiFi and it just started downloading by itself.

Just downloaded and installed software changed to 11A, so far only thing ive noticed is keyboard is a lot smother so far no missed taps
Also seems to have helped with wifi issue before it was like i was on dial up, couldnt get a page to load but now i can actually use wifi

Yes, waiting to d/load it later today.
From Droid-Life:
An update is rolling out for the LG G4 on Verizon, bringing a few features to owners, but nothing all that special. The software version is labeled as VS98611A.
Included is an enhanced Folio display while a call is taking place, an updated consistency for displaying contacts and non-contacts in the Dialer app, and an enhanced Advanced Calling feature. That’s it.

At least you've been asked..mine just keeps waiting to connect to Wi-Fi..talk about a battery drain.

Wow that is very odd...
I didn't have to do anything to be able to Choose "No Thanks".
I operate on a Federal Corporate line I wonder if that has any affect.
If you disable Wifi are you able to click "No Thanks"?

How to get to "field test mode: and see the Lte Band that the phone is connected ?

How to get to "field test mode: and see the Lte Band that the phone is connected ?
Hi.
LTE DIscovery app or any other app says LTE BAND UNKNOWN. I tried also *#*#4636#*#* and also at network type says LTE, unknown.
Do you know how to fix this ? Do you know how I can get to field test mode like in samsung code *#0011# ?
My phone is a zenfone 2 - 551ML.
Thanks !

Has this phone been modified in any way? LTE discovery, etc. should have showed the band.

No no modification, no root. As it was from factory. Only installed all the push updates that asus made ...

I use this in dial:
*#*#4636#*#*
I don't know if this is the field test, but inside the first menu I can change the mobile network behavior.
Edit:
Sorry, didn't read all of your post, On my device the mode for 4g is "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)"
It connects in 4G and when the signal goes bad it reverts automatic to hsdpa.

Lte discovery shows band. Is that unknown referring to sim2?

Think it depends on user-submitted data. It doesn't work for me in Japan either - says the carrier but reports LTE, band unknown.

I can't understand the reason why we can't know the LTE band in stock rom.

Good question. Is a good idea to post on asus forum your question http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php
If many people do that they may find a solution.

LTE,unknown if you want it fix, you gotta write a petition to your telco and get them to script it.
most telco won't bother to do that as it is not important value. what is important to network engineers are the decibels, the LAC, maybe CID, the list rate, the smsc number etc.

But with the same company and different smartphone I was able to know the 4g band

This may help
If you use nova launcher and set up an activity widget, one of the activities is "field test mode". Set it up on the home screen and click it. Or use shortcut master to launcg the activity. Either way takes you to a menu i hadnt been to yet and it may provide answers. It has 4 options: UMTS, UICC, LTE & ASUS CUSTOM. In here you can change your band preferences and switch usb from vendor to asus usb

Update to nougat or no?

Just received my Z Play (it feels so much better than I expected)
It came with 6.0.1 installed. Do I bother updating? Or should I stick to MM?
If I do update, should I wipe afterwards?

You may lose volte after that.

What even is that?... I don't think I've ever used it.
Why would updating to nougat (officially) cause that?

Google VoLTE (voice over LTE). You may use it without knowing it. You shouldn't lose, could​ be opposite..
Some people say that mm has better battery life. I don't know, I've upgraded on the very first day when I bought it. Phone will bother you to accept update anyway...

I think I'll run it on MM for this weekend and see what battery life is like, then try 7.0 and then decide if I want to revert back or not.

Forum is full of people who did that, downgraded, later accepted update and then permanently bricked​ device.
Moto has never been friendly for downgrading. Moto wants you do go only in one direction, up.
Sent from my LG-V940n using Tapatalk

You can't revert by yourself.
Also in 7.1.1 there is auto brightness lag and audio equaliser is not working (fixed in some channels, not reteu atm).
Motorola fu**ed up 7.1.1 upgrade, do not want to admit they did and I recommend to stay away until it will be fixed.
Only help you can get about those issues from Motorola are: "clear cache" and "factory reset"
Pathetic customer support.
Mike

Oh great...
Looks like I'm staying on 6.0.1 for now then.
How can I remove the update notification?

Turn off auto updates in developer options. Should do the trick.

Looks like it not exist in 6.x so you have to refuse update every time your phone will be nagging.

Is 7.1.1 really that bad? 6.0.1 seems great so far (only had the phone for around 4 hours though)

It's not that bad, just works
Sent from my LG-V940n using Tapatalk

It is great phone, no doubt, but...
I bought it because VOLTE among others. It was working till I updated to 7.1.1 and it works no more.
In 7.1.1 equaliser is not working for reteu channel. No biggie for me, I use Poweramp.
Brightness lag is nasty bug. For example: I go from bright area to darkness, it is 8-9 seconds and phone is adjusting backlight. That should be immediately like in my other Android phones.
Hardware is fine, but software developer department sucks and they don't react.
Mike

None of those things would both me really, but I'll stay on 6.0.1 for now

Well, brightness​ adjustment should have some delay. Maybe not 8-9 seconds but for sure should not jump up and down for every environment change.
As far I can see VoLTE works for me.

Hi which rom are you on and which country network i have tried every single rom and cant get volte working. The volte provsioned toggle is greyed out for me on every rom and i was hoping i could use volte because on my previous phone i had it.

Is VOLTE noticeable? I've never been aware of it in action.

Stock rom, locked bl, August security patch, retus didn't get latest patch yet.
As you can see, I was in roaming. Now in different country, again roaming and VoLTE is still provisioned.
VoLTE could depends of your mobile provider, sim card, roaming agreement and of course, phone. Looks like that phone is not problem.
Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

My network does support volte because my previous phone was a lenovo p2 also rooted and running a custom rom and i had no issues with volte. I just cant figure this out. I did read somewhere it may have something to do with baseband version but im not prepared to mess around with that.

RCS x Unlocked x T-Mobile?

Does anybody have RCS working in Samsung Messages and Google Messages now with T-Mobile, on the unlocked Note? According the the Verge, it's available:
https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/26/...oss-carrier-universal-profile-google-messages
Still doesn't work for me.

I had to play around with mine a few times to get it to work. The main thing was to be off of wifi. Then go into the settings and select chat features once or twice even if it shows disabled. A reboot also was needed for me to get it, but make sure you're off of WiFi.

I joined the beta when it was available. After that, whenever it went all wonky, I would toggle it on and off a few times and that worked.

My TMobile says carrier settings where your says operator settings, so that is odd too. Who is your carrier? Maybe try removing auto select network and see if you can pick LTE?

Thats because you did a speed test, the faster the connection the more data needed to get an accurate result, the 5G bit of it is irrelevant
In the normal world you wont use more data, you'll just see the what you want to see quicker, 100MB at 90Mbps or 100MB at 600Mbs is still just 100MB.
