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.

I connected my phone with adb and I found a folder named init.mtk6252.rc. I think mtk6252 is the name of the chipset, because there is a company named mediatek that makes chipsets and the series of the chipsets are named like this... mtk6252,mtk6592,mtk6753 etc..... However huawei p6 contains hicilicon k3 chipset.. Many cheap china made phones contain mediatek chipset. is it possible that this phone is not original but a fake china made phone ?
Problem solved. MTK6252 is a GSM/GPRS chipset not a cpu chipset. MediaTek MT6252 is a GSM/GPRS/EDGE SOC (system on a chip) for entry-level multimedia handsets. Also supports MP4 video recording and playback, and also incorporates a resistive touch-screen controller. Case closed.
So I've done a lot of Google searches on this but can't find an answer. Does anyone know if the MediaTek in the M9+ will support Quick Charge or any similar technology?

as the name implies Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 is a Qualcomm only feature so no it's not going to work on a mediaTek processor.
what does the box hype on the phone / website say about quick charging ?
Should work with 1.8 ampere
MTK's fast charging is named Pump Express Plus, another certificate not QC2.0.
http://www.mediatek.com/en/features/power-management/pump-express/
But there is still unknown if M9+ will work with this technology.

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.
The S21 FE has mostly the same hardware features of the S21, but few of them are software disabled.
Would the firmware hacking be able to activate them (dual freq GPS, eSIM, etc)
regards
I'm not sure. The S21FE has a new motherboard, that probaly means that you can't activate it. Unless the qualcomm celullar chip supports it.

Don't see XDA dedicated forum for it.
They added IR Blaster, interesting. And a smidgen more screen size? and like 1.5K resolution (no LPTO screen). Charger 100W.
Yes, it's budget. Last year's Snapdragon (so no 5G band Aggregation), and stays at UFS 3.1, LPPDR 4 (so you won't see lower temps & 30% less power used like regular 11).
Fold coming later this year.
Hhmmm...
Xda forum for 11R will be small like the one for 10R.
10R 150w for a buget phone is Great ! i use it for more than 6 months.
On Giztop 11R is 499$ Usa for 12/256 Gb. With OxygenOS is you want.

X65 supports 5G aggregation. The X65 was the first modem I would have recommended for someone looking to keep a phone for awhile.
5G Spectrum: mmWave-sub6 aggregation, sub-6 carrier aggregation (FDD-TDD, FDD-FDD, TDD-TDD), FDD-TDD support for uplink-CA, Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS)

It is fully 3GPP Release 16 compatible as well which means that it can support any commercially-available 5G band (but may require a firmware update so I wouldn't bet on OnePlus adding bands beyond what their sales info states).
If you aren't gaming (there are massive advances in the 8 Gen 2 in this regard) and you are okay with the possibility of having to charge your phone each day (or more than once a day when using 5G heavily), it's definitely worth considering.
EDIT: Actually, it's using the 8 PLUS Gen 1... I have no qualms recommending a device using that chip to anyone who doesn't care about what the X70 modem adds (not much) or who doesn't want the absolute best performance and is willing to pay for it.
