Hello everyone.
My first post here, although I have been an avid reader for a while now. I'd like to say thanks to vp3G and others for the excellent cooked ROMS.
My question: I just started using the new official WM6 ROM from AT&T. My fiance and myself both use AT&T 8525's, and I loaded the new ROM on both of our phones. Now, we can be sitting right next to one other on our couch, and her phone will read as having full bars with the 3G icon to the left of them. Then I'll look at my phone and I have full bars with the E icon next to them.
Would anybody here have any idea as to why? Identical phones, with identical ROMs and identical radio versions, yet she gets 3G while I only seem to get Edge, with the phones sitting side-by-side on the coffee table.
I'm confused on this one ...any ideas? Thanks a bunch in advance for any help and for the great site!
-D.
Is 3G disabled in the com manager settings?
Same SIM cards? (AT&T or Cingular?)

I looked in the com manager and looked under settings>phone but couldn't find anything regarding 3G. Where would I look?

Yes, they are the same. We bought the phones a few months back and both shipped with one of the new AT&T SIM cards with the 3G logo on it. I used to get sporadic 3G at home with the older radio versions, but she has always had rock solid 3G on hers. It's weird, I know.

Well, since you looked under the settings>phone; you have the enable band tab reg edit right? If so make sure this is on Auto.
Couldn't tell from your post if you had this exactly.

I'm feeling kind of silly right now...I'm not sure what you're referring to. I open up the com manager in the lower right of the today screen, and then the left soft key becomes a "settings" tab. Opening that just takes me to the phone setting menu (Phone, Services, Network, etc...).
I haven't made any changes to the ROM, just using what it had available.

Ok. Go to Start-Settings-Phone
See if there is a tab on the bottom that says Band...
If you do then make sure that it says Auto on both.
If not then check out the hermes wiki and go to tweaking the hermes registry...
If your are using the 'official' att rom, and if it's anything like the old roms, then the band tab will not be there...
Hello everyone,
Not sure (again) if this is the right subforum to post about it, feel free to move the thread if so.
Today I called my service provider (Vodafone Greece) to enable VoLTE and WiFi-Calling. Supposedly they did but I don't see the VoLTE or WiFi Calling Icons on my status bar.
Anyone has any idea why this happens? I have restarted my device as prompted to.
Also, I had some packages disabled but I enabled them again. (IMS ones since I read those are responsible for those services.) Not sure though, If any others are needed to be enabled that I may have disabled by accident.
Thank you for your time!!
For some reason VoLTE icon won't show up but I get HD calls.
No idea...

WiFi is sorta working, the icon appears from time to time.
As for VoLTE, nope... I might actually go over a store and ask them what's up.

I went over my carrier's store and they said, I got the service activated and working but the icon won't show up... Go figure...
Same here, just the icon is not showing up. They say I use VoLTE as it is shown in their logs.
It must be as usual, firmware issue.
If its an unlocked phone, those icons almost never show up, the features do work, but no icons.
I have an unlocked S20 Ultra that has been on both Verizon and T-Mobile, and it has never had those icons show up, ever. Prior to this one I had an S10+, unlocked, and those icons also never showed up...

I wonder if there is any way to modify some manifest or so, via ADB, to get those icons?

Make sure the your device imei is added on to the Carrier DB
I had a question anyone having problems with their SMS where you will all of sudden get SMS messages that you have sent weeks ago and suddenly pop-up on your phone? And if so is there a setting to change that sort of thing?
Thanks

Which S20 Ultra do you have? the U or U1? (Locked or Unlocked) It may just be an issue with your APN settings.
Let me know and we can continue with this investigation. :good:

Do me a favor and go to your Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information and post a screenshot if you can.
Additionally, if you could also post a screenshot of your APN settings by going to Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Just noticed on my lock screen
"Public Storm Warning Signal #1 PAGASA
Can't get rid of it, turned emergency alerts off and I'm not anywhere near the Philippines
Same here.
Yep, even in the Europe.
Yeah just had it in UK.
Gone again, just the date and weather showing
I got this as well in the US. I clicked on it, looked around at the map and read some of the text then dismissed it without issue. The screen wouldn't time out afterward though until I turned it off manually. Now it's back to normal. ¯\(°_o)/¯
It's gone now.
I just had the same, never seen this before and had to goggle it.
Philippine weather warning system.
weathermen here in the UK cant even get our weather correct so I'm not sure how the Philippines can!

The irony would be if the Philippines didn't get the notification...
As long as no one is getting the false incoming nuclear warheads alert as Hawaii did a few years ago.

My emergency alerts had all been re-enabled after this months patch for some reason so i just disabled them again.
Seeing this weird alert today in usa I'll write it off as Google spy systems

I had it this morning too...
Hi guys, so I've been testing and enjoying this Korean LG G8 here in Europe and I've been trying to enable LTE-A. I've tried literally everything but I just can not get anything to work when it comes to enabling it. I know for a fact that the x24 modem can support it but the SADEST PART is that LG took out the field test option and also the hidden menu is incomplete ( *#546368#820# is the ONLY option sadly, I think it's because LG is you know... shutting down..., there is no incentive for devs to code for it.)
Anybody, any help would be amazing as in my area 4G+ is really SO much better than the laggy and bad LTE.
So yeah... btw, how do I get rid of the roaming clock on the homescreen, I've tried everything but it still shows the time in Korea.
Oh yeah also, I enabled wi-fi calling in the hidden menu which honestly, it was hard af to find that even as no one seems to care, BUT the sad part is that the ''wi-fi calling'' option in the engineering menu (or what's left from it, I'm on Android 12 and it seems like from 11 to 12 LG has decided to be lazy and destroy any kind of debugging etc. so yeahhhhhhh.)
So in the ''official'' menu it's greyed out but I just enabled it, I am 100% sure you can do this with CA/ LTE-1/4G+ as well, also the way they classify bands is just UGH on android, why are they using classes and not bands.
I am pretty upset rn as I've spent soooooooo many hours now on something that should take 1 minute or less, wtf!
Okay so has anyone actually gotten Carrier Aggregation/4G+/4.5G to work on this phone?
I am really curious, it is becoming more and more important as companies are putting more emphasis on 5G and this phone sadly not being 5G enabled, sometimes my DL speeds are so trash and reception as well. When I pop my sim in my iPad mini 6, it just flies, 200 mbit DL all day, sometimes not even 5mbit DL or no reception at all, all due to CA being blocked by the carrier, yeah the phone is unlocked but basially eliminating the CA option toggle in the engineering menu really is a clear signal this phone was not really intended to be used on the network other than the network you signed up for. Talking about the Korean variant here, which to my knowledge has the most bands active aside from the ATT model I think but that's another story.
So yeah guys, anyone gotten CA to work on their phone? If so please post a screen so I can see a unicorn lol.
Were you able to find a solution to this problem yet? Doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem because they would have posted it here. I live in the USA and I'm still waiting for the Android 12 update from US Mobile (T-Mobile).

I gave up, it is actually VERY hard to make this work, I would update to Android 12 if you don't need any VoLTE, (VoWifi seems to be fine tho for some reaon) no CA / 4G+, none of that...
Hello,
I know you gave up, but I own the LG U+ G820N (thanks its the less bloated one) and I also face bad reception sicne switching carrier/updating t A12, I don't know which one is the cause.
I also can NOT access the *#*#4636#*#* engineering menu. Do you have any clue ?

After weeks of research I actually tried the voWifi toogle + an app enabling the LG Wi-FI calling menu.
With voWIFI set to 0, the LG menu accessed via the app directly switches back to off when toggled.
But, with voWIFI on1 in the *#546368#820# menu, the other menu accessed via the app stays toggled.
I just tried at work with the phone in ariaplane mode and connected to a mobile sharing wifi form my professional phone but it was isntant voicemail....
Did you managed to get voWIFI without changinf the software ? Was the Field test menu available in A11 ?
