HTC Vivid and 4GLTE in New York City

Well they hit the switch on December 1st of this year, been getting a strong LTE signal since then. Been keeping an eye on the data going in and out of this phone. I have noticed that during phone calls the network switches back to “4G“ and when calls end the “LTE“ reappears. Does anyone here maintain an LTE signal during phone calls by any chance?. Or is this just preliminary tower behavior for testing?

That's how LTE works on AT&T. When on a phone call it switches back to HSPA+. I think it will always be like this but I'm not 100% positive. Never been an issue for me. It switches back and forth very quickly and I hardly ever use data while I'm on the phone.

Well it seems LTE coverage is expanding in the NYC area as of today. I'm now getting LTE signal in the boroughs. Bronx and Queens to be exact.

And you don't hijack an almost 2 year old thread that has nothing to do with what you're asking...
If you go to the "Android Development" subforum it's on the first page...

N7 3G No Longer Unlocked?

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!

Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

Scared me too...
but with my experience with Google Support is they are often wrong...

YOu can't even select it now. For me it takes me to a page where it says, "The page doesn't exist on this server" or something.

Remove the _att from the end of the link.

strangely enough the canadian version of those pages don't have that issue. In canada (and likely UK and so on too) it's still the old "unlocked" thing in the selection and it works like it used to with the american before the change.

It is available for sale yet? Neither _att or without it works with a purchase link .

The links are fixed now, but they're out of stock I think.

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).
Any second now.....and it should go on sale......hopefully....

In stock now in the usa!!!!

It looks like they already sold out, I managed to get in an order of the Nexus 7 w/ the ATT Sim Card, but the device said 'unlocked'. The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...

Confirmed. Just got a promo mail from Google
" Nexus 7 comes with an optional no-contract SIM card from AT&T so you can get started with mobile data service right out of the box."

Yeah, I think they are still updating the page. You'd think that with half a month of time to get the page ready they'd have it ready to go

[Q] How long does AT&T hold exclusive for Moto X?

As title, does anyone know how long is AT&T holding the exclusive Moto maker this time? I was planning to order for t-mobile and got blocked off by it
can't really wait much longer on the phone almost tempted just go to back to the 2013 model instead......

Just do the pure edition I don't see a problem here

You can only do that for 16gb but not 32 as of now

I know MotoMaker goes live for Verizon on Friday. Maybe T-Mobile sometime soon.

the pure version is the tmobile. it sounds like they are still out of the 32g. try a white face with 32gb option. and then go back to black. that was working a few days ago. to answer the question... there was no exclusive for at&t at all. the tmo/pure edition was available from the start and verizon is always the last to get their version in, it is cdma.

A little of topic but I wanted to pick up a screen protector today and Verizon said the phone doesn't exist, AT&T (my service provider) said they don't carry it. Best Buy was like "what?" and Radio Shack said they only have accessories for newer phones. I don't think there's an exclusion on it.

You could get 32 last week. They are sold out for now... must be too popular. As with the first-gen X, there is no T-mo specific model, jsust unlocked (why would you want anything else?). I'm holding out a few weeks - hopefully news of the new Nexus will give me another option.

still no luck as of today, I guess it's just out of stock for now.
Stopped by AT&T store today to check out the actual phone and they said they are not getting it in yet either. Wonder how long this thing get hold off from the market

The Verizon model goes on sale at motomaker tomorrow, so go hog wild!

As of today you can now order the Moto X (2014) Pure edition with 32Gb of storage.

Issue with camera and flash?

I'm having issues when using the camera with the flash. There is a huge glare across every picture I take.

Good God! Looks awful! Make sure the lens is not scratched or dusty.

Could a case be interfering with the flash?

I thought it might be the case but that is "not the case". The interesting thing is this only happens with the flash. It looks fine when I take a picture without the flash.

I think you should return it, it could be that there is a small hole next to the camera lens so the light from the flash is "leaking" into the lens directly.

So to follow up... I have talked to Motorola support 3 times and sent them images twice. Friday they told me that I had to call back and get level 2 support. Saturday they called me back and asked for the photos again and then they told me they would call back on monday. Monday they didn't call back so I called them and they told me to call Verizon. Thanks Motorola for standing behind your product. I had a totally different experience with the 2013 Moto X and support. Something has changed.

I have the exact same problem. I sent my phone to support 3 days ago.
I'm still waiting for an answer from them. I hope they fix the problem.
Here are some pictures I took (with and without flash): https://plus.google.com/115953391459142635379/posts/gi94rki7KBQ

So we were the lucky ones. My guess that we will see many more instances of this. Verizon is sending me a new phone and it should be here Thursday. I'm interested to hear how yours works out.

They just sent me a brand new phone! I've tested the flash and it is now working as it should. I hope it works out the same for you too.

Verizon sent me a "certified like new" replacement today and it looks like new and pictures with the flash seem to work. I also heard back from Motorola via phone and google+ and they were interested in getting to the root of the problem but now I have to send the phone back to Verizon. Maybe the can get the phone from Verizon.....

How to find a rootable Pixel 5 (non-verizon or non-company network)

I am going to buy a used Pixel 5 tomorrow. I want to quickly confirm if I can root the Pixel 5 given that its already updated to Android 12? And also how do I know if it isnt from Verizon or some network phone as I think I wont be able to root that as well.
If any one could please confirm this fact quickly I can buy it without hesitation.
Please advice

I'm rooted on Android 12 with my Pixel 5.
Rooting it is a little different than it used to be. Make sure to read instructions for it.

Yeah, you don't want a Verizon model. If you can get the IMEI for the phone before you buy it, there are ways to check if it's a Verizon model or not

Thanks for your answer. The seller is not willing to share IMEI before I pay him. Is there any other way to check it? Like say through a model number or something ? Also I would like to know how to check if I had the IMEI? Could you please get me to that link?

If someone isn't willing to share the IMEI, don't buy it.
Your best bet would be through a site such as Swappa, due to their policies that help prevent users from getting screwed.
Or, you could buy an unlocked 5a direct from Google; the hardware is identical to the P5, with the exception of a larger battery, 0.3" larger screen, and 6GB RAM vs 8GB in the P5.
