Ok - been doing a bit of upgrading today. Went to WMXL .20 today - very good! Then went to Olipro's BL today again great!
And now I have just finally upgraded my radio to 1.34 which seems to have gone flawless.
However, my connection just went from a G symbol to an E symbol. Now I live on the very edge of the 3G network and before the upgrade, every once in a long time I'd have one peg of 3G (Used to read U and then 3G when I went to WMXL) but now it's showing I have full signal E which I've never seen except on my friends Palm 750W which is on verizon and it shows an E when connected to their EVDO service. To my knowedge this isn't possible for my phone so is this an error? Anybody else have this problem? The phone still makes and recieves calls fine (in fact, better connect - voice quality - less lag) but it's still weird to get the E
Trust me, it's not EVDO, that's physically impossible for a Hermes So it's gotta be EDGE.

Yeah - I knew it was a practical impossibility for the hermes to have EVDO but that's the only place I've EVER seen the E. Do other people have the E showing up with Cingular? I'll be curious to see what I get tomorrow when I go into town where there's 3G service.
Cingular does have EDGE service in most locations - a lot more than 3G - so it would make sense.
in wm5 mine showed G when I was roaming away from 3Aus to Telstra, now it shows an E for roaming. This is quite good as telstra uses Edge (2.75G) not GPRS (2.5G).
some nonsense from me.. regarding the title "E is for Edge?", on how xda-dev members will teach their kids (*hint Vj) ABC
A for Apple - the company behind `I`
B for Bluetooth - going wireless
C for Crossbow - name for WM6
D for DoCoMo - if you are in Japan
E for Edge - as per this thread
F for Frequency - is your phone tri-band?
G for GPRS - data packet rocks
H for HTC - the company that *add your comments here*
I for eye-Phone - er..
L for ..?
M for Microsoft - that bastard

get it
im on the rogers network and prior to upgrading to wm6 it showed "G" now mine shows up as "E" as well.. is this normal?
Hi i have sphinx g pro 1.5 rom installed but i am having frequent operator signals dropping issue. I installed stock rom but issue is not resolved. Another phone with same operator placed near my phone shows full signal strength while my phone shows no service. Anyone having any idea what is wrong?
Just ordered the LTE variant of this phone to replace my work phone Moto E. I love the phone, but now since my roommates can't pay the internet bill, at home my router signs on to my phone Hotspot and becomes my home internet.
I'm not expecting a dramatic difference, but was wondering what ROM/Kernel might give me the most reliable unlimited hotspot?
If prefer to be on 7 unless there is some benefit to be gained.
I didn't get the last part "prefer to be on 7" ? If you have a Moto e 2015 version (otus or surnia), stock Nougat is not available for them.
For a hotspot, I think stock LP or MM should do the trick, although be aware that the battery will drain quite fast and continuous charging will impact battery life.
Rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
it does'nt have dual band wifi
Going by the way Asus is targeting its phone and the audience appeal. Definitely it will be developer friendly. With the recent drift by the Asian OEM's moving closer to "Openess" i believe they will allow BL unlock and release the kernel sources as well. (Example, Xiaomi's approach have change towards kernel sources. And now you can buy Redmi 5, minus wait time and flash sales). All the best to Asus for bringing in this device, looking forwards for Developer community to accept it and bring in some action.
Can any one confirm that dual band wifi works or not. Because dual band is supported by soc but not listed in spec sheet

This ****ty phone only comes with WLAN 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz and not 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.I've checked this on the official asus website.

I have also checked the website but in flipkart (e-commerce website) shows a,b,g,n is supporyed
As far as I remember, Asus always had bug in their software. Some Zenfone 5 got freeze when unlocked, Fonepad 8 brightness bug not solved. Maybe when custom rom ready, we can have ac Wi-Fi.
Up till now, there is no confirmation about the wifi ac. No one has tested it yet. From the SD636 spec, it stated SD636 should have integrated WCN3980 wifi ac (not like SD625 which can have separate module). Maybe the wifi ac is disabled to make sure it doesn't compete with the premium product?
ZenFone Max Pro doesn't have Wi-Fi AC. Even the Wi-Fi n has issues. After software upgrade it causing me problems after problems!
can any one confirm what is the max link rate achievable on the 2.4ghz band . Does it atleast got 2 x antenna to support higher throughput
As these days 2.4ghz on phone is good if we have 2x or more antenna to support spatial stream.
I have seen upto 173Mbps which is good and not possible if it dont have 2x antenna. As if the phone is dual band they dont host 2x antenna which can boost 867Mbps on ac and 300Mbps on 2.4ghz which is hard to come. What do they do with all the power just game. . Also ditching type c is really bad. I am disliking this model
wifi connection problem
can any one pls confirm, if they are having the same issue with asus zenfone max pro m1 --
google play store(many times), norton live update(havent worked yet) , and chrome (crashes and has to be restarted to access internet), these all are not working over wifi when mobile data is turned off or phone is in airplane mode. and when i try to turn off the wifi to switch it on again, the button when moves from right to left, the motion is jittery and not smooth, it hangs for a fraction of a sec in middle.
also my phone's -- android security patch level shows 1 may 2018 with build number opm1.ww_phone-15.2016.1805.318-20180712 ? is it the latest or asus have released any latest after this?
1 more issue-- under network & internet > mobile network > network settings, there it shows 2 mobile networks, where it shows one as card 1 (which is actually airtel)but other correctly as vodafone IN. the displays shows CARD 1 / VODAFONE IN.
and 1 more thing-- the option of enhanced 4g lte mode is available under 1 sim only.?? are those ****ty things happening with my device only or its universal apocalypse.
in short- accessing internet over wifi has many issues with many apps not detecting the internet.
lol...1 more issue--- in the quick settings drop down menu where it shows signal ,time battery etc there is no option of mute, or volume adjustment or volume profile soft key or am i missing something here. though volume menu is integrated separately and only pops up when u press hardware vol up/down key. what a ****ty device
Many apps doesn't work on wifi only work in mobile data. Don't know why many people has this issue.
Guysss my maximum speed i can get on speed test wifi is 57 mbps . But my home wifi maximum speed is 100 mbps . I can get 100 mbps speed test if i use my samsung s8 plus. Is the limit of asus max pro m1 only around 50 mbps? Can't go much higher or what is the max speed max pro m1 wifi can get ? Please reply guys thnx.
check your link rate. If its less than 86Mbps you cant hit 100 for sure. Its so wiered 6gb is showing less . Not sure on 4gb variant.

Hi, it show 72 mbps on wifi info shown on my device zenfone max pro m1 4gb variant. Weird 2.4 ghz only can reach 57 mbps highest while my Samsung s8 plus 2.4 ghz can reach 100 mbps. Same setup no download during test. Maybe it's software not optimized? Anyone please test your wifi highest speed can get how much. Thnx.
N00b disclaimer: I do not vouch for the authenticity of what I state below
1) Our device supports only 2.4Ghz WiFi, however I believe the hardware may support 5Ghz.
2) Default Wifi bonding module probably throttles the speed and tweaking the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini will support 40Mhz and speed up to 150Mbps (Magisk module available but not tested)
3) I have checked the WCNSS file (found 4 instances) and seen that there is no channel bonding mode defined for 2.4Ghz but it is defined for 5Ghz as 0. Devs may be better able to understand the implications.
Note: I have a 6GB 601KL variant running stock rooted v318 firmware with TWRP recovery.
It means that our phone is capable of running 5G ? It requires 5ghz of band something like that . I don't know much about it . Maybe Asus has kept it as a surprise for the users inside the hardware
I just hope in the future update our device support faster than 60 mbps wifi speed.

Well Asus has surprised us by keeping the Camera2Api code in its stock firmware which is why it can be enabled with ADB without root. But don't get your hopes up !
Who use more than 30Mb/s in smartphone ?
It's no make difference in daily use.
For me, 5GHz is not relevant.
I've got a T-mobile LG G Pad X 8.0 that I just did a factory reset on and updated to Android 7.0. The connection speed is atrocious now. I'm getting no higher than .60mbps download speed on LTE, 4g, LTE Hotspot from my note 8 (which is reading over 30mbps), or home WiFi (around 4mbps normally). No matter which I try, I get between .2 and .6mbps. I've done all of the updates available... Slowly.... I've checked the apn (fast.t-mobile.com). Im totally stumped, and it makes this device practically useless.
