After reading a lot of threads i am quite confused with the "phone" issue as it is not clearly described anywhere.
Ok, i've understood that phone functionality is possible but...
Can we make calls?
Does it work well?
What issues do we have with making calls?
Is it fully working?

Yes, yes, none, yes.
Only problem is that you cannot use any headset.

Can we make calls in a phone-ish way (device to ear) or do we need to use speakerphone?
Forgive me if my questions sound stupid but i dont have a shift yet.
There is no internal speaker
WHen using the HTC Shift to make calls, you must always enable speakerphone (some roms do it automatically)
So there's no way of having a private conversation with your Shift,
unless you really are alone in the room, train, planet.
There were some people trying to get the earphone working, but since
GSM calling was released, nothing happened above the surface.
The headphone + mic is important as it completes GSM calling feature.
phoneless almost

Too bad would really to use it as a primary phone.
Where are we on headset connectivity?
Do we have any clue on how to implement it?

I was working on it, but then some kind of bounty bounced for doing this, so I gave up to leave the team of bounty hunters work for this.
Seriously, I might have some time for this in september.
Is that really a reason you stopped ? If so , I will put out a bounty to stop all other bounties... So I'll pay everyone off to let you do your magic

No, I just started a huge project for work that I'll finish in two weeks.
I can do it all!!!
Hey i could make calls, using a headset, and even using a bluetooth headset!!!
My Shift takes no more then 400mb ram and can even play back 720HD movies.
Music sounds great on it and the battery! well what can I say, the battery lasts for 9 hours on a single charge!!!!!
I am also using the SD card on the WM side and running Tomtom7!!!!
oh wait
then i woke up with a wet patch on my PJ's damn it was only a wet dream!!!!!!

Any news on this thaihugo? I'd slip a fiver into your paypal account if you got this working!
EDIT: Ok so bounty at the moment is:
vinokirk: £5
Josap: £5
-------
Total £10
Come on Thaihugo, imagine that £10 burning a hole in your paypal account!
word, same here
Josap, maybe you can change the title of this thread to:
'Headset phone function, do we have it or not? !!!Bounty now £10!!!'
or something!?
last time there was a bounty, I decided NOT to work on the subject
I would hate seeng someone grab it before me...
Seriously, I have no more time for this anymore, But if somebody makes a breakthrough, I can help.
Well in my case could donate you for the work you put in and promise i woulnt give it to someone else

Could you at least tell us how far you got?
Do you still have your Shift?
So let me get this right. At the moment we can:
a)Use the loudspeaker of the Shift to hear people, and
b)Use the mic to speak to people.
Basically its like a regular phone on loudspeaker, am I right? Can you plug in headphones and hear the person your speaking to and talk to them with the mic
And the ultimate goal would be to either:
a)get a wired 3.5mm earpiece+mic working,or
b)get a bluetooth headset+mic working
Now some questions:
1)Thaihugo when you said 'i might have some time for this in september', were you going to look at wired or Bluetooth headset conectivity? Where were you going to start looking?
2)Is the 3.5mm socket a plain 3.5mm socket that will just outputs sound or is it the special type that also allows the input of audio?
3)Is the 3.5mm socket useable for audio output on the WM side? i.e. if you listen to an mp3 thru WMP on the WM side, can you hook up some headphones and the sound will come out.
If you could have a look at my questions and answer them to the best of your knowlege that would be great! I havent got my Shift yet but I am serious about trying to improve it. The main thing for me is SD card access. I woud like to know as much info about that as possible, to find out where people have got with it.
The connector supports a mic/headset as it is also included. However it is only usable on Vista side for apps ie Skype.
SD access is unlikely but in the unlikely event that it would be possible we would most likeley get WiFi too since as it is a SDIO card.
As I said in another post, I still have the shift but no time for this. And also, I'm not part of the people who received more than 3000$ for this job. And no, I don't want any bounty, I'm just fed up to take the interim for a shift project that never delivered a think, and just complained when I released anything before their supposed "nearly ready" roms.
If you start a group of your own, and make signficant breaktrough, I will happily jump in it and help. But searching alone, for Saiweb or me, has it's limit. Cmonex is not a rom developer, she is more on the SPL radio side, pof seems to be off the shift forum. This product is aging. Try and think if you really want to involve in it's customisation.
I've posted some other post recently where I state that Shift team has delivered beyond expectation. Reading this, I'd say : Due to many efforts from many people , the Shift got functionality beyond expectations. Dunno who's who anymore.
The Shift deserves SD access and BT. Like BattleStar Galactica deserved a remake.

Yes I am sure i want to start developing for the Shift! Imagine if I and other said the same thing you did about old cars, take my dads 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, if we had said that about them then there woud be none left!
Could you perhaps PM me how far you got. Were you looking at the bootloader, hardware etc. Seriously any help would be appreciated
Hello to every xda members...
I'm a newbie to android world.. was planning to buy nexus one so I just wondered if I could ask you guys about any hardware issues with this phone...
I was going through the forum and some of the things that worried me a little was the "bleeding" problem and the 3g issue... couldn't understand what the poster meant by the "bleeding" ... I'm just worried about hardware issues coz firmware are constantly updated to fix common problem... and I have a lot of faith in cyanogen and other devs....
Had no problems at all with mine, you've got to remember this is where people come when they have problems so youre bound to see a lot of posts like that here, but of the several hundred thousand Nexus's out there right now I think youll find that these events are fairly isolated. This is just a place a lot if people come to share them.
The only problem that i have noticed is the reception issue when you hold the phone, it has been discussed alot on these forums. Hope its just a software issue but who knows

Thats true...
but still waiting for more replies
Hi,
Mine works OK, after flash radio from ERE36B the UMTS/GSM stability is slightly improved. In fact, on old ERE27 was also not bad - in my place the signal is really weak (-103dB)
Besides, battery lasts for ~10 hours (yes, massive playing with the phone .
Today spotted, that the icon descriptions were moved from center to the right of the icon, what caused lost of readability. After reboot problem was gone.
I also considered if to choose HTC desire, but finally decided to buy N1 - first of all because it was already available
greetz
mati.
So i guess it wud be a gr8 phone... coz i don't care about the video call that is the only drawback.... thanks...

may have something to do with the antennae being at the bottom of the phone...
bluetooth headsets remedy that, same with the stock headset that came with the phone.
about the bluetooth headset,
this may be true but I am not a fan of handfree stuff unless i am in my car, but I dont need to talk on my phone while driving. Id rather it just work when I use it like a normal phone..
Well being a noob in rom cooking, i have hard bricked my tab. It doesnt even turn on.
Im new to sammy stuff, so would appreciate some pointers, is this: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-jtag-brick-repair/ the only way?
me and others flash the room from the stupied idiot guy in this post and got brick our devices, BTW i think he is working with the company you mintioned in web site, if like that he and the company are dirty.
any way, you are developer so try to recognize how flashing rom could make such problem. please.
the device have little hot in left side so maybe some hardware working ??thinking

Definitely not working for any company, and I have developed many Android ROMs and never had this problem. I've been here since 2005, for crying out loud. This is my first Samsung ROM, so I admit to being new there. I will even accept your "stupid idiot" comment, as I guess I deserve it. Although, I wonder why 150 people have downloaded it and only two or three people that I can see have been bricked. Something must connect those with issues. We need to find what it is.
Also, I am happy to pay for the de-bricking of those who are legitimately bricked i.e., followed instructions, have a receipt from JTAG, or whatever it is). Just PM me.

steve, please pass the words came from reaction, it was chock as you seen. sorry for harming.
iam in middle east and not confidant to ship my device to unknown address because he mentioned in web page that he has solution, i mean JTAG and its not subject of who to pay steve.
supposedly that web site is true, and they didn't mention that they will change any part of device, what they will do to fix? the problem happened because we flashed non compatible files i think.
let us figure out the problem and try to find solution. right?

Absolutely. I understand. I have gotten into many messes since i started developing, and know that panic. I just need to know everything you.and the other user who had this problem can tell e about your device so i can find out what the common denominator is. So, confirm it is the wifi and 3g version you are using, and what build you are coming from, if you would. Are you using a sim card? Have you tried pressing power and volume up for a while? Thanks. Also, does your tablet feel hot at all?

Well I used yours as a base, just chopped the usual crap out, resigned, flashed, everything seemed OK. Initiated reboot, bam, doesn't turn on.
Charged all night, tab is hot along left edge, so I'm guessing still charging. 8600.

let us exchange the ideas
first we need to get the device powered so maybe remove and return battery could do something?? but how?
any external way to use it throw usb slot while charging ?
I would try pulling the battery but have no idea how to get the case off.
Steve, just wondering out loud whether those who have the hard-brick issue be because there are on pre-production hardware, so they have a slightly different hardware SKU. Hence your ROM does not work for them.

That seems to be the case for one of them. I am not positive about the others. I am having a hard time getting people to just tell me what build they were using prior to the flash...There seem to be 3 people who have had this porblem, and there must be something linking them, although it may be something random. Need to figure it out.

I came from P6800ZSKL2. Dont know if it was from the very first production line, but judging by the quality (i bought three, all with crap displays) they probably were.
Also, i believe the device is on and trying to unpack something because it is indeed warm.
This of course means that there may be hope of getting into download or recovery yet... i will drain it for 34 hours and then attempt to turn it back on.

For the record hard bricks on the Exynos 4210 will occur generally in one of 3 ways:
1) Mis-matched boot.bin and sbl.bin
2) Incompatible boot.bin and sbl.bin combo
3) Invalid PIT file flash from an earlier generation TAB or Galaxy S device
Anything else causing a black screen is simply hardware failure.
Hi everyone,
I consider buying the G2 (D802) but hold myself off after hearing users complaining about some issues.
Two of the main problems I heard of are GPS lock and touch responsiveness. I read many posts on this and tried to look for the problem and still haven't come to a conclusiuion whether it's a software or harware issue.
Can anyone please some this whole thing for me please? is there a solution to the above? would you still recommend this device anyway?
Thank you very much.
I would say less than 1 percent of people who have such issues.

Still. I had like to know that there is a way to fix it so I won't get stuck with it.
I read the threads reagarding those issues, especially about the touch and it seems that there is no solution yet. Very disappointing to see a company like LG that doesn't give a damn about it's customers... \=
Personally, if the problem is a hardware directly related, then I would say the only fix is returning the product to seller or sending it in for repair. That's the only fix.
If it is a firmware related one, ............. ummm, I haven't seen anyone complaining about GPS or touchscreen sensitivity issue right out of the box. Give me a link if you can.
However, if we hack it, root it, install custom recovery, ROMs, apps and then having problem then it is user problem, OUR problem, not LG.
I said less than 1% in previous post, I should have said less than 0.01% who might have problem to begin with and it might probably be a hardware problem.

Does anyone have any idea when the V20 will get the Android oreo update?
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
I have messaged LG and they have said something about the next security patch coming in april which is something another one said on reddit stating it will come with oreo
that should be nice! what will be some of the new features?

Would be nice yes - if they made some kind of software solution for it. I'm talking with the seller in regards of my phone at the moment about the issue. They have 1 year warranty which is near closing - and I don't think this is an alright issue on a phone that is pretty expensive, at least when I got it.

It is just color calibration. There is already solution with proper kernel and color calibration with rooted devices. Someone done LGs job, they just need to apply that in Oreo, just that

And yet it takes them ages to get a fix out to the people apparently... One more reason why Mobiles should never be locked without an easy unlock feature for the people wanting it.
We need to be "LOUD" for them to hear us. This is my first LG phone and probably the last because their support.

Should be easy for them to actually just have a Guy on the forum all the time as his Job - and looking it over and keeping them up to date about what is going on.
The reason I got an LG phone was because they were the only company having a newer model with old features like the battery replacement and the Micro SD Card option! Would have been nice with 2 Micro SD cards and not 2 sim cards but anyway... A lot of improvement could absolutely be made. Yet, still the best phone on what I want - and yet so much that could have been better.
Possibly Oreo is Comming in April as I've read on many Authentic Forums.

You can solve that with root and proper kernel. It is software problem. Because of that I hope that they will apply it with Oreo update.
Google Enterprise Phones page shows V20 with Android Oreo. Apparently LGE send this information to Google, and it's a hope for all us.

Just because it can be fixed with software with some settings is not to say it is not a hardware issue with the screen. As we know it works out of the box without any issue and over time becomes a problem.
Anyway I have a lot of retention - and not that much experience with installing a new kernel or jail-breaking the mobile first. I have the latest update for the phone and not sure if that can be jail broken, I have not looked into it yet.
The thing is - it's going to take hours and hours to get me to the point of jail breaking, looking into kernels as it seems theres not a few to chose from? asking people and reading on the topic and there always seems to come up issues as well on the path that you need to use time for trying to fix.
People do some changes to the color for getting the retention away, right? So even if it fixes the issue or lessen it at least is not to say that is the settings the company had in mind in the first place for it. So I'm not keeping my noose up for them fixing the ghosting - but will be happily surprised if they do. But in this society of throwing away and getting you a new phone all the time - well... It's like many of the other stories where they engineer things to break on purpose so they can keep on selling new ones. This world is wicked!
