[Q] Captivate i896 From roger canada front camera

First of all thanx to XDA developers ,helped me alot,
i got this phone from roger and now i m using it in india in vodafone network...
so before asking my question..i will even try to help others by mentioning what i did,
my phone was network locked by rogers...
it was bought in December 2010...and i tried everything..like gettin one click root..and using that update.zip method but didnt work...
then i rooted thru z4root...it was very easy and worked like charm..
though i still dont know why i needed to root...and what extra facility i get after rooting...
then thru some xda thread i got to know abt helroz app..which i downloaded from market..as i could use my wifi connection...
and yes it asked that i needed my phone to be rooted for the app to work..
it just took 4 min..TOTAL..to get my phone unlocked after rooting it....
(to get the app from market..and then get clicked on unlock..and it asked one or 2 more steps..SELF EXPLANATORY and rebboot)
then i used kies to upgrade it to 2.2 froyo...coz lot of apps were not working properly like skype and yahoo...
and they all started working fine...after the upgrade...
and then i used the code *2767*3855# to reset my phone to factory setting..
so thats about it..
and now when i hav started using it fully...
and now i found out that it doesnt hav fm like other galaxy s...and i dont see the option of video callin which i see in galaxy..though there are 2 small dots r near the speaker...
i m so disappointed abt not having videocall and front camera...
though fm i dont use more so tahts allright..
1)so i was hoping that may be those dots r camera but disabled by roger and using some diff firmware would bring that up...
2)and i m missing few more things which i used in nokia...like i didnt find the message count log..and i couldnt find data use counter..so i get to know taht how much data i m using thru my phone..
as of now i hav only these question..tomo i will connect thru my vodafone data plan(as i m connecting to internet using my wifi)
and if i face more problem then will ask again
and i m just very new here on this forum..and very new to use android...always was a nokia lover..that works on symbian..
so if my this question is annoying or violates any of ur terms and condition..then i m sorry in advance
and thanx in advance for my question gettin answerd
and i would like to help ppl too..once i learn all abt android...

Search for 3G data counter for tracking data. It tracks EDGE data too, and works quit well.
The two dots are a light sensor and a proximity sensor. the captivates are not equipped with front cameras or fm radios. Download rogers myaccount to find out how much data you have used.

thanx.. for clearing the dot concept...i guessed 1 as light sensor already..but didnt figure out proximity sensor...
and i cant use rogers my ac ..as i told u i m not using it in canada and in rogers...
now i m using it in india and in vodafone...
When u use 3g data counter, I would recommend add a buffer of 5-10%. I normally set my monthly as monthly limit - 20% so I know I am reaching my limit earlier than the last minute. Helps to have a little buffer space

[Q] Honeycomb has worse signal? Also cant "Bill TMO account" now?

Hey since I flashed to HC. It seems 1: Only get a 3G icon. Also the signal almost sucks. and 2: The market, used to let me bill my TMO account. It still works fine on my G1, but not on my tablet anymore. Was wondering if anyone else noticed this issue too.
Is there a radio rom we need now that works better for HC? Also anyone else get that billing option left out? (Can use visa tho on tablet)
The HC roms might simply not have the H icon enabled, it's an option in the build.prop, I'm not sure why you're getting worse signal, the bb wasnt updated in the US 4G models, if it's really worse it might be a rom issue and not a bb issue.
Have you tried using the non-tablet market? The tablet market is missing some stuff, it could be something missing in the tab market
Tablet market? Im just using the regular Android Market, just the bill tmo option isnt there. Have to use a diff phone if I wanna bill my account then just download on the tablet, lil bit odd.
So question, is H and 4G icon the same thing? I know some phones I had used H, the DS7 was the 1st to use a 4G icon. Is there any way to test which band I am really using for the network speed?
The one included in the stock HC rom is the tablet market, it's slightly different from the normal market, you can sideload the normal one and have 2 markets.
This is the tablet one, the normal one is usually pre-installed, but apparently not in HC anymore, at least on the s7.
Seems I am already using that one with Honeystreak R8. So no clue whats up.
Anyone know how to tell if your device thinks its in EU region vs US Region? I think that maybe my issue as HS by default installs EU region.

Why I don't get the android 7 update?

So recently my friend whom also has a huawei p9, showed me that he got an update on his phone. It was the android 7 with emui 5. I checked my phone settings to look for updates available, and unfortunately, my huawei says there are no available updates. Why is it the case? How can update my phone?
Thanks you all;
If you need more information iwill provide that...

I dont know why huawei is always like that when it comes to updates. btw instead of checking or waiting for it come to your device you can look for tutorials here on how to manually flash the update. :good:
Huawei is not alone in this situation. So dont start bashing it so soon.
Right now, only 6.6% of ALL android devices is running on 7.0(data from official Android dev Dashboard).
And for update for P9, its mostly regional problem, so as @cheeze.keyk mentioned its best to update it manually.
But I seriously cant get my head around that idea of people crying for update... Because to be honest beside different number in phone settings, and few really small changes in look, there is no difference at all... its not like update will make your phone super-mega-ultra better than before or release some hidden features or make it super faster. Its just a bigger number in phone info...
And I can bet my own P9 that someone could put on your phone android 4.4 that just look like EMUI5 and you would not notice that...
When I still where using Sony devices, I rarely update them... and guess what? No problems at all, device was fast as always, there is no compatibility problems(honestly I have android TV that still work on 4.0 and I can watch YT or stream media without a problem...)
So overall if update dont change anything significant or fix some major problems, worrying about lack of update is not something that you should be sad about.
In some cases, making a hard reset, the OTA appears.
In my case it was the provider. After I changed the sim, nougat was there.

I have the same problem and it's not down to Huawei. My phone is a branded phone (Movistar , Spain) and it is up to them to release the update. After 5 months I am still waiting, God only knows why. For this reason I will never again buy a phone from a service provider, especially Movistar, as you pay for a top of the range phone and are reliant on them to release the update as and when they feel like it. I have just tried updating it myself but have only succeeded in de-branding it so need to try again. Could be that you have the same problem. Good luck.

Carriers for Xperia XZ1 Compact in US?

If you're in US and using XZ1c, which carrier are you with? I'm interested in carriers that work for docomo/SO-02k models as well as G8441; whether data, or calls, or both work properly.
Not sure of any that work with the docomo, I think there is a thread here for those. But for the g8441 models, T-mobile and Verizon in that order. Used to work great on ATT but they added a whitelist for devices sadly so doesn't work on there anymore. T-mobile works more than fine. Verizon, will take some time getting on it. You need to change your modem and have the sim provisioned for an LTE only device. So far I have gotten data working on it but nothing further. Someday Ill get around to badgering verizonn support more and get it worked out.
I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get it working on Verizon. It supports the AT&T bands, but they've not whitelisted it, as you say.
But Verizon uses entirely different LTE bands, which the XZ1C doesn't have.
Or maybe that's what you mean by "change your modem", but I'm not sure how you've done that, as it's a hardware thing, not software.

Nope, it supports all the verizon bands now since 3G was sunset there. You can use it on Verizon as an LTE only device. You initially gotta get a phone with LTE only provisioned on the network and then switch sims to the xz1c. A guy already got it working and I did have data working too.
No the modem is a software thing. I'll do a write up someday. Actually I use the ir51_ir92 modem for T-Mobile too.
Oh, interesting. That's good to know. I've been having issues with T-Mobile lately, less LTE (more Edge) even though the XZ1c should do LTE. Perhaps Verizon would be better for me.
I'm definitely interested in the other modem software if it has a chance of improving things. Make sure to include steps to roll back, please!
Try the modem. Download quick selector from the play store, then make a new widget from it and select "modem switcher". Make sure debug = true in the build.props. Then from the modems select ir51_ir92_ims. It should help getting more LTE from T-Mobile from my experience.
I'm not seeing an app by the name "quick selector". Can you give me an id/link?
What is it doing? Is it installing something, or changing some configuration on my phone? How can I be sure this modem option won't break something?

Opens an activity. No it won't, I've done this on two phones, it just changes the modem.
I'm feeling more at a loss today time than usual, probably because I'm misunderstanding something key, or because of our ROM differences.
I've installed the app, but the search (which doesn't work on normal mode) doesn't have anything under "modem" or "switcher".
I've added debug=true to my build.props, but I'm guessing there isn't actually a top-level one, and that you wanted a more specific one ... but I'm not clear which.
What am I missing?
Also, to be clear: Is this something to be done once, or on every boot? I'm assuming the former. It seems like there should be another way of getting to the configuration, rather than having to install apps to trigger specific intents.

What rom are you using? Just once it has to be done.
I'm running an older Oreo AEX rom - this one, to be precise. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/aospextended.3859655/
I know it's pretty old, but any upgrade path will require a fair amount of backup/reconfiguration - not to mention experimentation to figure out which new ROM to use. I've had a lot on my plate for a while, and this is my daily driver.

Strange, I'm running https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/g8441-xz1c-8-1-resurrection-remix-v6-2-1-oreo.4085427/ so that shouldn't be a problem. Try "CustomizationSelector" and then under it select the one with "Modem Switcher"
Do you mean this Sony app? I don't have it on my phone. The rom didn't come with it, and I'm not able to install it (really, the older version that's compatible with Oreo).
If I try (via a terminal, to see the error), I get the following message:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sonymobile.customizationselector: Package com.sonymobile.customizationselector requires unavailable shared library semc_bootinfoif; failing!]

and I'm not sure where I'd even find that, let alone properly install it on the rom. Maybe via Magisk?
Any other ideas or suggestions on things to try? I feel like there should be some way to do ti.
It might be that one. Um, have to install that shared library, whatever it is. Maybe I could even just copy it and share it with you.
I have the G8441 (with US ROM oem.sin) on both MetroPCS and T-Mobile.
If your running the US stock sony rom on latest Pie:
T-Mobile works very well, both LTE and VoLTE. No problems.
Same used to work for me also on MetroPCS, but now VoLTE does not work on their network right now. IMS Registration: Not Registered. Looks like Metro now 'tricks' the phone to use the default non-tmobile modem. This happened just recently. Should be (fairly) easily fixable if I can gain temproot and force the t-mobile MVNO's modem config id.
If your running a stock non-US rom (specifically non-US oem.sin), LTE will work but poorly, and VoLTE will not work at all on both MetroPCS and TMobile.
The phone should work equally well on Mint Mobile too, unless they are playing tricks like Metro.

Flash the latest Pie US sony stock rom on it. Tick the 'IMS' APN, restart the phone twice, wait a half hour, and you're LTE will work like a champ on T-Mobile.
Once on the US rom:
Dial '*#*#7378423#*#*' and click Service info > Software info > Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see 'Current Modem Config'.
The correct modem config for TMobile with LTE and fully functional VoLTE will read exactly /system/etc/customization/modem/amss_fsg_lilac_tmobile_us_ims_tar.mbn
The incorrect (default) firmware (likely) will read /system/etc/customization/modem/amss_fsg_lilac_tar.mbn. This modem config will not work correctly on TMobile. You'll get poor signal and performance on LTE, and VoLTE will not work at all.

Did you see my comment half a dozen posts back where I said I _wasn't_ running stock, or Pie?
I'm not going to flash that to get this to work - I need other features. And while I'm willing to upgrade, I can't spend the time to do go through that right now since I have some personal stuff going on. But I'm still not going to a stock rom.
I cannot use that service code because I don't have the APK that powers it - it's again dependent on a stock rom. There was a separate discussion about that here.
I don't even have a /system/etc/customization/ folder, let alone any mbn files in it.
I would happily install some extra software (a magisk module, perhaps?) to get it. Do you have the mbn files anywhere, or know where I could obtain them?

I did. My post #15 you have quoted wasn't to you. That is a response to the OP 4qx.
My second post #16 was to you.
In reading thru dev notes on the custom roms (Havoc mostly, but lineage too), it seems the devs say the device has to be wired up and running on the correct modem firmware and with VoLTE fully functional on stock before installing their custom roms. That seems counterintuitive to me, but thats what I get from their posts.
You can obtain the stock Pie roms with Xperifirm. Which contain the modem files. Finding older Oreo ones will require a bit of internet digging.
Do you know if you can force a new modem onto your custom rom and it will work? I've looked for a clear answer to that myself and still question what i have read.
If you can force the correct .mbn, would you need the modem from Oreo or from Pie? Oreo's modem is named kudo (if i remember right). Pie's is Lilac (T-Mobile's VoLTE is exactly named amss_fsg_lilac_tmobile_us_ims_tar.mbn). Then Maple and Poplar too which is 10 and 11 (i think). I have the sony stock Pie US rom here unsin'ed and in apktools right now, so i could probably find the lilac modem for you if thats the one you need. Let me know and i'll see if i can extract it.
I know the stock Pie 9.0 amss_fsg_lilac_tmobile_us_ims_tar.mbn works 100% with T-Mobile VoLTE. I bought a T-Mobile sim this week specifically to check it. I'm trying to get this same modem running on a T-Mobile MVNO in Pie. But in my case, i have the modem files in place, but Sony didn't add the code to specificically enable the modem config id's for T-Mobile MVNO's, so im trying to write it in, than inject it into an unrooted pie while retaining bootlock..
There is a catch i noticed, and it might throw you when you install the correct modem. When I put in a TMobile sim into the phone, it takes up to around 20 minutes for T-Mobile to provision VoLTE to the device. IMS Registration status will say 'Not Registered' (on stock) until T-Mobile triggers the provisioning, which seems to happen on some sort of schedule. They are probably checking to see who is running a proper modem before enabling VoLTE provisioning to the device. Its not instant. When you believe you have the correct config and modem files, and think it should work, i'd give TMobile a solid 20 minutes before assuming it's not working.
Here you go.
From US Pie stock rom, the modem files are in the system_X-FLASH-ALL-C93B.sin file. I used unsin to extract them to .ext4. Then used 7zip to extract the .mbn files from the .ext4 file. The mbn files are found in the directory \etc\customization\modem\. If you need the .mbn files from other versions, they probably will be in the same location.
There were 3 Pie modem files related to T-Mobile. Attached in the zip below. The ims one is T-Mobiles VoLTE for Pie.
Yes, the one I quoted was unattributed, but in the other post (#16) you specifically said to flash PIE, which had been talked about.
I suspect it depends a little on what kind of ROM it is and what it builds on under the hood. I thought mine had the right stuff initially, but it was a long time ago.
Do you know if you can force a new modem onto your custom rom and it will work? I've looked for a clear answer to that myself and still question what i have read.

I have no idea about this. I'm happy to try and see what works, but I've likewise found little in the way of instructions - even where the files would go. Again, I don't have that /system/etc/customization/ folder, and I believe some kind of overlay/binaries needs to exist to pick it up. I suspect just adding the files won't work.
As far as I understand it, the codenames are not related to OS version but rather which model of phone it is.
Poplar is the XZ1, and Lilac is the XZ1C. A search shows that Maple is the XZ Premium.
I can't find any information about a 'kudo' (it's also not a type of tree).
There's a Kumano platform, analagous to Yoshino (XZ*), but I don't think that's what you mean, either. I would hope the modem files are independent of OS vesion. I do have an Oreo sin somewhere around on an older drive that i could dig up to compare.
But the challenge remains that I still have no idea what to do with them...
I appreciate your copy of them, though. Any other thoughts?

Question Anyone else?

Hey anyone else with this phone to start testing new stuff on it?
Got the Chinese version. Flashed the global firmware and changed the channel to reteu with working OTA's.
Will write a guide in the coming days, feel free to ask me about anything you want to know.
I just received the phone, seemed like a store here had a issue allowing me to get the phone early.
If you've got questions, let me know. I do seem to notice a bug with the screen refresh rate set to "auto". It wont go up to 144hz by itself and at low display brightness it seems to stay on 90. Forcefully setting it to 144hz does work wonderfully though.

Do you have the global version? Would be great if you could take three pictures in pro mode with everything set to auto and DNG enabled. (One from each lens). My model produces weird raw results for the main camera, I just want to make sure that it is software related.
You can also see in the viewfinder that the main camera seems to be way less contrasty and saturated than the other lenses.
Also: what's your build number / software version?

Just checking resellers. You can get the chinese version flashed with global rom already on Aliexpress for £599 for 256gb. Cheapest you can get chinese version that you will need to flash yourself is £530 and that's 128GB only. So might be better to buy it already flashed. Moto UK you can get 10% of for official version which is £675
Hi
I recive today my Global Edge 30 Ultra
Working ok ( first 1-2 hours test )
I find boot.img for root, where i can find firmware ??
Maybe working boot.img from chinese version, i can try use command:
fastboot boot patched_boot.img ( not flashing... )
But where i can find this file or from global version ?

NFC is toggleable and Google Wallet opens without a problem. As I have never used Google Pay before I dont know how to test it.
I would not buy a flashed version to be honest. If you want a converted phone you should do it yourself to learn what you are doing and maybe be knowledgable enough to handle problems when they arise.

Firmware can be found at "C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles" after the download.
Would be great if you could share the zipped Firmware with us. Maybe on Google Drive or mega.
These zips dont contain any personal information.

Do you have the global version? Would be great if you could take three pictures in pro mode with everything set to auto and DNG enabled. (One from each lens). My model produces weird raw results for the main camera, I just want to make sure that it is software related.
You can also see in the viewfinder that the main camera seems to be way less contrasty and saturated than the other lenses.
Also: what's your build number / software version?

Can confirm that for me the main camera also produces weird results in pro mode with raw output. The output also seems to be way more dull than what the view finder suggests.

Okay thats good for all of us imo. I already contacted Motorola's camera team about the issue, hoping they'll fix it.
@onken: Thanks for the upload! I am not 100% sure but in theory:
1. Patch the new boot.img from the new firmware via magisk on your phone.
2. Put it into your new firmware folder and name it boot_magisk.img
3. Open the flashfile.xml and copy paste the contents into this website.
4. Reboot to fastboot, open a cmd window in your firmware folder and use the fastboot commands from the website but SKIP "fastboot erase userdata".
5. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot_magisk.img to keep root.
Maybe you need to skip the other "erase" commands as well, not quite sure.
Does anyone happen to know why oem unlocking in developer options is greyed out?
Might be related to your purchase date. I've read that sometimes people need to wait 7 days before it is available on other Motorola phones. Might also be available after factory reset.
I think must wait 96h, about 5 days
Possible work fasted if reset to factory ?

Damn, that's ridiculous. I guess I have to wait for a little while, already tried factory resetting twice.

I think its related to "Widerrufsrecht" or whatever its called in other EU countries. You could unlock, decide that you dont like the phone and just return it and noone would probably check if the warranty is void.
Here is an official Motorola post on the issue. Sometimes takes up to a week.
Edit: But on the other hand, unlocking your bootloader can not void your warranty in the EU afaik.
