Hello everybody,
I wonder why we can't reach the Galileo satellite here in Europe, while the our snapdragon 820 processor support this satellite.
The same says also Qualcomm in they site here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/relea...pport-galileo-across-snapdragon-processor-and
I'm using navigon and also a test software from play store, and compare with galaxy s8 it has support Galileo, our Zuk z2 plus hasn't.
Maybe somebody knows why?
Thnx!
The CPU may support the function but its a OEM choice to "enable" the function on the phone. Since the phone isnt made by just the CPU, in order to accommodate others functions for another ICs, or to "cripple" functions based on region only, or even if they dont want to pay royalties for the use of the tecnology, they may not implement all the functions the Chipset supports. This is true for the Quick Charge 3.0, for instance. Commonly used on all SD820 phones, isnt avaiable on Zuk Z2 saddly...

Thnx for your answer, at least I know why!
And it is sad.For the rest and for €164 is wonderful phone ?
I was wondering the same. According to gsmarena, no phone exists with a snapdragon 820 (MSM8996) and supports Galileo. Therefore I doubt that Qualcomm offers this driver/software to manufacturers for our soc.
Since Qualcomm is american, and Galileo is in direct competition with the GPS, they may have disabled it to cripple the ability of the EU to spread the compatibility for its positioning system.

Nope only the Zuk Edge supports it.
It seems that the Chinese Beidou satellites can be used without problem on my Z2. However I can't see Galileo ones either. There're only three types of satellites, probably, on the GPS test app: GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU.
Noticed on the official website that Redmi 6 pro does not support dual 4g, whereas it's lower siblings 6 and 6A support.
is there any way to enable this? any custom ROMs
Is this a hardware limitation, if not can we expect a OTA update from Mi to enable dual 4g.
any thoughts?
Actually......no?It's really difficult to change hardware. Hope I helped
Hit thanks
The other two are on mtk processor and 6 pro is on sanpdragon. I don't think SD 625 supports dual 4g

Realme 1 support dual 4G volte and its Snapdragon 425 chipset i think. Running on colour Os
Yes it supports

What? Seriously?! How do prove it??
I have the LMG810EAW.ADECMB model of the phone, as well as firmware which is intended for the UK model (LMG810EAW.AGBRMB). If I flash the UK firmware over the German model, will it brick the phone? Or does the DEC/GBR in the model number only refer to the language of the firmware installed?

Is possible, but with LG UP 1.16.0.4 which is not leaked yet.

At the present time you can't cross flash to a different rom as the device is locked at the variant you have, LGUP will not work because of the IMPL lock

Damn... :crying: Looks like i'd better get my hands on the GBR version then...
what's the difference between the German and UK firmwares?

On LG V40 forum, lgup thread.
I tried this anyway with LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_16_0_3 (unpatched I think) and DLL 1.0.40 and it worked first time. The model info page just shows my model as "LMG810EAW", minus the ".AXXXMB" part at the end. The only time that was shown was on a sticker on the box. So i'm guessing there isn't any differeence between the UK & German firmware, except maybe default language or something.

It is available for download, I downloaded it and the associated dll for the G8, but it doesn't work to cross flash to a different firmware because of the IMPL lock, someone else on here said it worked but hard bricked his device because of the lock, so just beware of that before you try to flash a different rom

Well it worked for me, although both old & new firmwares had the same parent model (LMG810EAW), just suffixed with a different region.
It sucks that LG when to these lengths to block us from cross flashing =/.

Hi man, i just was wondering about doing the same.
I have recently bought a German LG G8s with DEC in the name. I thought it had the Quad DAC since before i bought i saw confusing posts.
Most of them say that the UK version has Quad DAC and the German doesnt. But both are the same model as you already wrote: LMG810EAW.
So i compared the official pages on lg.de and lg.uk and thers the difference lg.uk says quad dac, lg.de says nothing about it. I believe it is the same hardware, just software lock (possibly due to some licensing fees only paid for UK by LG).
https://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/lg-LMG810EAW 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC / DTS:X 3D Surround Sound DTS: X 3D surround with three audio profiles Meridian Audio 10-band equalizer with 13 presets plus one customizable Headphone jack 3.5mm
https://www.lg.com/de/smartphones/lg-G8S-ThinQ-black DTS-X 3D Surround, Stereo Lautsprecher
Can you please Check under Sound Quality and Effects if you have under external audio options like Quad hifi-dac?
i have attached a picture of the g8s and my old g7 thinq on this page, the g7 having the options, the g8s not having these.
If you have those options on your g8s with gbr flashed, than its most certainly just a software lock and anyone who wanted could flash the LMG810EAW with the GBR localized software to get quad dac options on the non UK versions.
Thanks
You picture shows two different phones... The one on the left is the LG G8s ( which doesn't have the DAC ) and on the right the LG G8( which has the DAC ) . Two completely different phones......

The LMG810 models are all without Quad DAC..
Only the LMG820 models have a Quad DAC.

Yes, I looked...[emoji16]
This is the normal DAC from the 810 series.
No Quad DAC. Read it carefully...[emoji6]

LG G8S or LMG810, LM-G810 and LMG810EAW do not mention quad dac, only this:
DTS: X 3D surround with three audio profiles Meridian Audio 10-band equalizer with 13 presets plus one customizable Headphone jack 3.5mm - Yes 1W speaker located on the underside of the smartphone
No quad DAC mentioned at all.
LG G8 or LMG820 and its variations (all of them?) do have quad DAC.
Hi,
I wanted to ask does any body know about NAVIC support in these mobiles , is it hardware or software based. If it is software based can it be installed via zip or apk in mediatek and snapdagon indifferently or u have to ask for special permissions from govt to install them? And how is it different from the normal GPS we have been using all this time in other mobiles. pls do share any difference u found ever in both... like accuracy zoom lvl difference from Google maps etc...
Navic uses a different frequency band and Integrating NavIC also requires hardware changes on the chipset.
These are few hardware chips which support NAVIC
System from Qualcomm has launched several NavIC compatible chipsets – Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 765, Snapdragon 720G, Snapdragon 662, and Snapdragon 460.
Huawei Kirin 990 SoC.
Mediatek dimensity series

It's completely hardware based and cannot be flashed by a zip or magisk cause it needs the hardware components to be on the SoC.
GPS satellites are American, NavIC is Indian so if you live in India or neighbouring countries you can get a faster lock on the Positioning Satellites. As for accuracy it's upto 1 meter and if you happen to work in Defence then 10cm.
Zoom level in Google maps doesn't have anything to do with the positioning tech or satellites you use.
Since snapdragon chips natively support aptx hd and Samsung scrapped this feature from snapdragon devices to bring them down to the same level as exynos devices, is there a mod or something to enable aptx hd on snapdragon s20 phones?
No hardware to process the codec in bt chipset.
Thoughtful, heh?
Took away the 3.5 jack and didn't allow the latest hd bt codecs to ever be usable even in the latest and very expensive flagship models.
The best HD bt codecs availible are LDAC and SSC.
Buds+ sound damn good using SSC/Poweramp & its EQ.
Otherwise some Sony and a few Panasonic can use LDAC.
Contact Sammy and let them feel the wuv...
