[Q] ro.wifi.country - Acer Iconia A500

I was looking in my build.prop and i saw that my ro.wifi.country is set to EU. If i change this to JP will I get better wifi results in Japan?

I don't know if you can use japan.
I only saw two values
US
EU
But definitely you will not get any better result with your router.
In EU allowed channels are 1-13 in US it is only 1-11
I heard that in japan there is as well channel 14, but most of router does not know how to use it.
If you are able to connect to your router, change in build.prop does not do any difference for you.

So your saying that most routers in Japan don't use the 14 channels, but what are you basing this on? Or are you just making assumptions?

I believe the main point of his post was that apparently the only two values he's seen to date are US and EU. I'm not sure if their even is a value for Japan.

3g in China

I have just got back to china with my universal and am trying to figure out how to get 3g connected.
Currently there are 2 options available for which type of service I can get. One is CDMA 2000 and TD-SCDMA (the chinese standard).
The problem is on my phone the only settings available are WCDMA, which is currently not available although I have been told it will be available in the future.
Is there any way that I can configure my Uni to be able to connect to either of the other 2 networks?
I'm using the Tomal 8.5 rom, in case that has any relevance.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, i did have a good look around first.

As fas as I know this is a hardware issue so there is no configuration to make it work with 3G in China, it is the same for me in México, I can´t use 3G network
bummer, guess I'll just have to wait for the wcdma
I am also in China and anxiously waiting for July when they've announced full 3G for my city WooWoo
Hey Ringsting, what do you usually use the universal for? I go to China from time to time... you can still use GPRS GSM network, and the prices are quite cheap~

[Q] Differences between US and UK Nexus 7

Hello, I cannot find a thread which answers this question.
I am considering buying a second hand Nexus 7 for a friend, but seeing as it has the two pin power adapter I assume it is an American tablet. It is a non 3G tablet, 32GB.
As I am in the UK, are there any differences I should be aware of before I consider purchasing this? I don't wan to buy it to find that the software is different, or certain services don't work in the UK or the WiFi is a different frequency.
Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, the only diference are with the charger (the plug pins only, both versions can work with and adapter on 110 or 220 without any problem).
On the software side, the services and other things are determined by the net ip, the country, language, time zone, and other configurations.
The wi-fi, I am pretty sure, it work on every country since I never hear or see a phone or any kind of device that can't connect to a wi fi network with the correct time zone and hour
Sory for the poor english, it isn't my strong side
OK, thanks for your help.

check your 5GHz channel. if it's limited to EU standard then it won't see the higher bands. set it to 36,40,48 (or whatever they are, lol) and not the 100's.

Chinese Version Mate 9 on AT&T with Play Store in the USA

Hey everyone, just bought myself one of these and am using it on AT&T in the states (Florida). It came in the mail and i popped my sim in and did a review if anyone is interested in getting one themselves. To summarize it, it works great, although some core assistance apps are stuck in chinese, such as their version of siri app, their own wallet app, etc. The seller (eBay) pre-installed Play Store on it as well somehow, even though the phone had never been used as far as i could tell since i unboxed it. The video covers it all though. Enjoy!
Its a Ceramic White 64GB internal, 4GB RAM.
The model number is MHA-AL00 and the build is B153, was B137 when i first bought it.
Heres the video link

Do you get LTE?

have you ever got an answer to your question ? I am very worried about not getting an AT&T LTE connection on Chinese version (MHA-L00).
thank you in advance.
Why not just get the US version?
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Guys get the US version. The china version will have many issues as it is not certified to run on our networks or infastructure so things like GPS, WIFI and cell signal will not be up to par. Also the China version comes with many tracking software that is required by the Chinese government so it can monitor its people for everything they do.
I have a chinese version MHA-L00
LTE, GPS all works fine
I'm in Canada though, maybe US is different

It is. The US has very strained relationships with China. For a very long time US based satellites wouldn't connect to GPS in Chinese devices. There was also issues with cell signal as some of the OEMs were banned in the country.
Sorry for the late response. Yes I get LTE!

Please, stop spreading this conspiracy nonsense.
I have a Chinese 6/128 version. I use it with both AT&T and T-Mobile. No LTE connectivity issues whatsoever. I get the exact same speeds as on my GS7.

Call it what you will. I have worked on the teams that put many of those things in place as well as still work in a field where many of China's OEM devices are banned from use.
Things like this are mostly legends and rumors to most of you newer guys.

Every company collects data from us, if they get banned is because political reasons. And it is not going to make your wifi,gps and 4g not work because of them being chinese ( this connections are standards ).

Actually it does do just that. Come where I work and your device will die.
It is not political. It is national security. Mainly with the war against China looming. Heck Even the maker of the nexus 6p was banned in the US and India for years for security concerns.
Those connections are not standard. You plainly have no idea what you are talking about. So there is no point in continuing this really.
"Every company collects data from us" This comment is the saddest this anyone can believe. They only collect the data if you dont care about your privacy. Which most people no longer do. Not a surprise really. People are being made to be more docile and obedient.
I love me some tin foil hat talk.
Only reason for Chinese version is for more RAM/storage. Unlock the bootloader and rebrand. Simple.

The site is made of tin foil :fingers-crossed:
Its a bit more then just that. Compare the networks. They are very different networks. This is why US based devices have such and issue in china.
We did a series on what it is like for a westerner in China. Should have a look. Or even better get a chance to go. It is a beautiful Country. Too bad Politics always have to get in the way of things

The networks in the US and in China are most certainly different, but the Chinese model of the Mate 9 supports both. In fact, the US model and the Chinese model are exactly the same, in terms of hardware. Only difference is software.
You can check what is supported and what is not supported just by looking at supported radio frequencies, and compare them to the carriers. A Chinese phone supporting LTE Band 4 will support it in the same way a US-certified phone will support LTE Band 4.

Yeah what he said.
screen mirror / miracast
Can anyone that has a mate 9 confirm whether or not the phone is compatible with screen mirroring / miracast?
My question is does any one have issues with multimedia messages? I just switched to AT&T from Verizon and my Verizon phone has had an issue where I have one minute to open multi media messages or it will expire.

US or international

Going to place order. Would like fingerprint to work. Is it easy to enable it on US model? Any downside? Or should I just get international version?

I have us version. I flash german firmware and i have working fingerprint.
So flashing other firmware doesn't lose any functionality and keeps warranty?

There should not be any hardware specific function loss. Each region might have slightly different kind of bundled software though, for example US firmware doesn't have battery care. Regarding to warranty, I'm not really sure. X compact is not sold in my country (I imported it), so I might have hard time dealing with warranty regardless.

Sorry, I don't know anything about this.
The German firmware supports VoLTE in Germany.
There are some slight differences. For example, Germany has a different set of frequencies for Wifi. In the 2.4Ghz range there are two additional channels (so no problems connecting in the U.S.). In the 5Ghz range there are broad differences in which channels may be used or not. I don't know if the firmware adapts to regulations of your current location when you use the phone in other places. If it doesn't, it might happen that you cannot use some 5Ghz APs.
