I thought it could be something similar to that, but at this point not really sure. I took my electric duster with the two high-pressure attachments to it on the highest setting, trying to see if I could force air to go inside through the secondary microphone hole next to the cameras, the very...

Got an amazing deal on what was supposed to be one of these in new open-box condition and was incredibly happy with its performance, speed, and compactness until I opened the Camera app. There is a line that seems to run across the main shooter and when you aim it at any sort of light it seems...

Yes, but the Frequency Check website only looks at firmware differences, not the internal hardware. I decided to do some further digging and went to the source that tests these (the FCC) and found that the VS995 and US996 have the same ZNFVS995 FCC ID meaning they share the same internal...

I have tried to find that post but have been unable to do so. Is it a thread you started? I looked through your threads but was unable to find anything. Would you be so kind as to link the post? Just to confirm, will this also work on the VS995/Verizon variant and if so, will it enable the...

Thank you for the info. :) Are you referring to this video? I'd watched it before but it's for flashing the stock ROM on a US996 variant and the links in the description don't work. Hmm, where did you read that? From what I've read the hardware/modem in the VS995 and US996 version is the...

I've been looking for a good, inexpensive phone my partner can use on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon and I was able to snatch an unlocked VS995 in excellent condition for $70--it just needs the battery replaced soon which I also ordered. The main downside to this model if you're using it on AT&T...

LTE. If you don't get good speeds (about 10Mbps) then change it to GSM. This is something I actually have to remember to do if I'm outside the house because I actually get more consistent performance inside my house using 3G HSPA+/GSM. On HSPA+ it goes to is 6Mbps which is plenty usable but...

Yes, because LTE is its own technology. LTE, GSM and CDMA are each their own technologies, each completely different from the other in a multitude of ways. That's what makes one not compatible with the other, but with the advent of LTE it also made it much more cost-effective for device...

That's very good to hear. Were you able to test if 3G/4G HSPA(+) also works for data as it should? You should be able to find the option to use that instead of LTE by going to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Network->Preferred network type then select GSM only. Then browse the internet...

Perhaps because regular 2G, 3G or the faster 3G HSPA(+) on AT&T's network runs on GSM technology which is completely incompatible with the CDMA network Sprint uses for those technologies and the firmware on the Sprint variant is artificially limited to only be able to connect to CDMA and not GSM...

Reading your posts it seems I'm in the same boat as you are since you have a Sprint/GSM unlocked variant that you flashed to US Unlocked that you're using on AT&T. In my case I'll be using it AT&T as well (Cricket specifically), and later on probably Metro when I move so the most important...

Sounds like BS to me, if I'm honest. Didn't they release Android 9 Pie OTA updates to the Europe and Asia variants a few months ago? They've been saying they're gonna release the update for the US unlocked variant for several months now and nothing. Stuck on Android 8.0/EMUI 8.8.8.377 (C567)...

Following This Procedure for Sprint/GSM Unlocked LM-V405UA Good afternoon and thank you for all the hard work and time you put into figuring out these things for us that don't know or understand nearly as much of it. :) Myself I'm a computer hardware guy but don't know much about mobile...
