OK, glass is not fingerprint perfect, but covers the screen excellently. I can suggest this glass for anyone looking for a cheap alternative.

It covers the front camera, but it's not a big deal for me since it works just okay as ever.

Just don't forget to re-scan your fingerprint because the height of the glass may give you difficulty while unlocking.
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] NizzleFish98:
Is it quality or no?
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] SoulSmasher:
Dont't expect much from a $1.2 tempered glass screen protector. It keeps fingerprints but yet protects great. Also the view is great. Edges are not sharp, so fingerprint stuff not a big deal for me. The film protector that came applied with OP2 was way worse (about keeping fingerprint).
[OnePlus 2 Accessories] JerryPaul:
Looks good, and cheap, could consider to buy one:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
To install a custom recovery through ODIN, the bootloader must be unlocked.

What would happen if we install a custom recovery on a device with the bootloader locked?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Best case scenario - it fails to flash through Odin and nothing changes.

Worst case scenario - soft brick requiring reinstalling the whole stock firmware via Odin.

Nothing good could come of trying this.

Your only hope for some type of recovery is seeing if a dev can get SafeStrap working on your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
Thank you, in the worst case scenario, how would we install the stock ROM?

Would Odin recognize the device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Depends. If it just soft bricks, yes. If you have really bad luck, it could actually hard brick. I can't stress how bad of an idea it would be to try this. It absolutely will not work. If it were that easy, it wouldn't be an issue having a locked bootloader in the first place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
To install a custom recovery on a mobile with locked bootloader is definitely a bad idea, but, is there an ADB command, a secret code, or some way to know if the bootloader is locked?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
On some phones, yes, but I don't know of any for Samsungs. What kind of phone is it? I'm quite certain the answer is already out there. Samsung doesn't lock many of their phones down like that unless asked by a specific carrier. As far as I know, only AT&T and Verizon care about it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
A Galaxy Grand Neo GT-I9060C, and a S4 Mini I9190.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Neither are locked and both have custom recoveries available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oidicle:
I fastboot erased the recovery of my phone, but forgot to flash it back before rebooting (I flashed all the other img files). The phone gets stuck on boot logo. The key combinations were designed to only go to recovery and not bootloader nor download mode.

Is it permanently bricked?

[Redmi Note 2 General] banlee36:
The glass is so called "Dragontail" which is actually very scratch resistance.

My problem so far with RN2 is the network location service, they return simplified chinese text to apps, also the international ROM is very buggy.
[Redmi Note 2 General] GuiltyGod:
I got one question: Is a screenprotector already applied from the manufacture?

Btw I noticed you saying there are the 5 colours you mentioned but actualy there is also the colour gray (dark) (the one picture in your review has also a gray backcover) ;)
[Redmi Note 2 General] jack_21:
Yes, screen protector is already applied but it covers front camera... So you have to change it

Hello guys.

I received yesterday my official p8000 cover with smart-view.

I made a video about it if you want.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrnAY5PKqjk

Pretty good right now, I don't know yet if quality is good.

but first impression not that great.

EDIT: I don't know how to but youtube video here (doesn't seem to work) so here is the link.
[Elephone P8000] stonedpsycho:
Nice review. Thanks for adding subtitles ��
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Wow, a magnet triggers the smart screen?

Please, tell us more!

I have bought another ”original” protective case, much cheaper - but it doesn't activate the smart screen (although it completely covers the screen).

Do you think I can ”smarten” my cover? :)

Merci in advance.
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
Before you do anything to your cover, have a magnet, and put it in front to the black thing between the front camera and the speaker.

If it show you a circle (like my video) it's ok for you.

What you have to do is to add a magnet inside your cover.

Honestly, it has more probability to destroy your cover or make it ugly than make it perfect.

I think it's way more better for you to add another cover. This one seems ok and seems to have a magnetic lock.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
I have already punched a hole in the cover, down below, in order to actually see the notification led, so adding an ultra-thin magnet on the inside won't be a problem. The problem is, placing a magnet in that spot (the sensor between the front camera and the speaker) doesn't do anything. :(
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
Ok, which rom are you using?

is it flyme ?
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Stock for now. 20150719 (Elephone build)
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
Can't say why...

I used a neodium magnet, and it was working. And I have the same rom as you.

[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
What version rom are you using? I've not heard of anyone else with this problem so it is a strange one?!
[Elephone P8000] mongo1010:
5.1, from 20150909
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I would recommend upgrading to Eragon ROM, perhaps wait for the soon to be released v4.0 or else you can try a factory reset of your current rom.
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
Mine look like this one.
[Elephone P8000] clemsy57:
Mine looks like yours
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
just to clarify it looks like this picture(no mini lines) or the first picture I posted with mini lines? thanks! I prefer the first picture myself but don't know how to get it back to that?
[Elephone P8000] Kapsalon:
That first clock is gorgeous. I have the eragon clock but I would like to change it. Does anybody know the directory the clock is in?
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Yes, the first one is my preferred one and it got "lost" somewhere - the second one is too plain for my liking. There is the clock changer app but it only lists the second clock(as well as some others but not the first clock!)

I have been using Pocket Mechanic to check the read/write speed of my Transcend Transflash (MicroSD) card.

I am getting 1.4MB/s Read speed, but the write speed is showing as 0.02MB/s.

That seems very slow, what is anyone else getting?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] neilhhardy:
is the memory card formatted for fat 32 ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MaskedMarauder:
It made no difference the read/write speeds were the same FAT16, FAT32, various block sizes etc. about 10 different combinations.

With 2.0.2 I can see all open apps by pressing square button. But I have to close 1 by 1. With 2.0 and 2.0.1 I could close all in 1 time by pressing cross button... Any solutions because with 4 gb ram the phone keeps a lot of open apps in memory.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossMacgill:
But isn't that the point, keep apps in ram so it helps performance, drop them when more ram is needed. I would have the ram full all the time as long as it performs perfectly.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gads83:
1. Power down the OnePlus

2. Hold the power down button until Android starts to boot up

3. As soon as Android starts booting up let go of the power button

4. Then immediately start holding both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons

5. Continue holding both Volume buttons until it boots into the OS

Once it fully boots up just reboot the phone as normal. No need to do anything else.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfectedItachi:
Hiya guys. Long time lurker but gonna pop that cherry today.

Was curious as to how many of you leave this phone fast charging overnight? I know its a smart charger and all that good stuff.

For an hour of charge i dont mind staying up for it since it prevents any damage that may happen. But i mainly do it to baby the battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
i used the wireless one so it trickle charges and keeps battery in good condition. Fast charging will degrade it faster,
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeepsb:
Do you have any proof to back this up?

I've had the Note 4 since January and have been fast charging it over night every day since then and I haven't had any issues whatsoever still running with excellent battery life. I'm now using the S6 Edge+ and wouldn't think it would be a problem. The power cuts out once the battery reaches max so it shouldn't try and fast charge a full battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
It's a well known fact that fast charging is bad for battery condition. The electrodes degrade and corrode and the higher amps required for fast charging will contribute to the issue. I fast charge my note 3 and I'm on my 3rd battery now and this is starting to show decreased life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Me too. My Note 4 was always on the fast charger and no obvious signs of deterioration. I am pretty sure Samsung has considered any issues, especially in a phone with a fixed battery, as they put Fast Charging very high on their list of selling point features.

.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wease:
I use my fast charger over night and have noticed when it reaches 100% the lightening icon that shows on the battery icon when charging goes away. So there must be some sort of electronic protection built into the phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
Of course it stops charging. Lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfectedItachi:
Yeah. I still have the voice in the back of my head making me not let it charge overnight. The smart charger is nice to know it stops it from charging the battery, but still leaving the chance of having it fail in the middle of the night while its still connected to your phone is worrying to me. Even more that it pumps more voltage like a monster then any other wall charger i have.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barabba11:
Hi guys, I've made a terrible mistake.. please forgive me for that.. I relied on Kies :((((

Thank you really a lot for your support! I really don't know who I can ask else about my problem..

I have a S4 mini and as beginner (for Android) I decided to upgrade it with CM12 and Lollipop 5.1, all worked fine but:

As I dis always with Nokia, I was confident that a backup manager from the brand-house was the best way to backup, save for the future and manage contacts in our PC, I installed the first manager it appear to me as "it", Kies 3.2. It worked because the previous FW was 4.2, it asked to upgrade to Smart Switch but I refused to do, wtf I just needed save the contacts... and I couldn't suppose how "complicate your life" are these uncomplete softwares.

After upgrade Kies showed that with new FW I need to upgrade to Smart Switch and after Smart Switch showed that this phone is not compatible (????). Trying use Kies 2.6 to open manualli the file spb (to export them on vcf) it can't read the spb file made by Kies 3.2.. (???) and opening with hex editor the spb file itself I saw it is encrypted/compressed and impossible to extract manually any information. Wow!

Now how can I restore contacts?? Smart Switch doesn't start without a phone connected (and by the way, I also don't know if it has a contact manager in the end!), the phone with it doesn't work (maybe bcause it founds an unbelievable Lollipop on a S4 mini?), as i searched there are no android applications who can read/load spb or other Windows external softwares..

How could I extract the contact names from this .spb now?

Any chance to make Smart Switch see the phone?

Thank you a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
If I was in your position I would restore the phone to the old firmware you were using before, and then restore contracts back, then use "another" software to backup contacts. Then once you have a "fresh" backup, then install cm12 back again.

Sounds long but it's all I personally can think of. If files are encrypted nothing but the original software will open them...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barabba11:
Thank you for reply.

I have some questons. Is it possible that spb made by Kies 3.2 can't be read on 2.6? Does it has sense?

If I'll use another samsung phone, can I restore there the backup and save contact from that one?

There is any way to force Smart switch to connect to a CM12 device?

I already configured it and start from the beginning may kill me :/

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjarne73:
To shorten the prosedure and keep your current installation intact. Isnt a solution to make a nandroid backup of current cm12.1 in the recovery. Install an old kitkat version, restore your contacts etcetera. Sync them to gmail. Then restore your nandroid and sync with Gmail?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barabba11:
Thank you, seems the only solution yes.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaylin.martin:
My HTC One M8 refuses to charge and won't connect to any pc.

It started yesterday when the device randomly began to get alarmingly hot around the charger port. The device is not fully drained as it has 14% battery remaining.

The phone is on contract but I can not return it as it has been unlocked and rooted.

I have tried multiple cables charger ports and computers but with no luck

Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
14% battery is a bit of a problem. A RUU won't run because the device needs over 30% of power.

Restoring a nandroid can be done if the battery holds. Can be done via the sd card. But locking/relocking the boot loader needs a pc.

2 options if you ask me :

1: restore a matching pure stock nandroid backup

2: perform a ruu.zip method via the sd card. (Not sure if that needs a relocked bootloader)

But i doubt the battery holds long enough to restore and boot the phone again !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snebojsa:
For me, best solution is to back to stock (if the battery holds long enough) and return for warranty.

As usb port not working, you can try flash ruu to you phone with 0P6BIMG.zip method (while you still have juice).

You can find additional information here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

Problem that remains is unlocked bootloader, but you can't do anything about it without usb port and pc. You can try to send it for warranty with stock rom, and hope they don't check bootloader status. I did that with my old M7 and had no problem, but my friend have problem and they didn't want to repair his phone under warranty.

So, you have 2 solutions, try with warranty or go to repair center and pay for repair.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Duir-:
2 questions...

1) Have you tried powering it off and charging?

A search of the site suggested that might be possible in some cases.

2) Is it S-OFF?

I'm not sure if this is actually needed for locking (it is for unlocking), so it could be worth a try either way.

If you are still rooted you should be able to use a terminal emulator app on your phone and the relevant commands from this thread.

Basically, open the app, type su and press enter, type (paste is preferred) echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796 press enter, type reboot bootloader press enter.

It should reboot to the bootloader and your device should show LOCKED (which will be better than the RELOCKED you would normally get).

I tested this on another device and it works fine (of course that device is S-OFF). The only problem I encountered was copying the long string of text to lock the device from Chrome into the terminal app, but that was solved by pasting the text into a blank text message and then copying from there and pasting into the app.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] shawndh:
There's a seller online that's selling a demo unit for $600 USD with WM6 preinstalled. I'm questioning if I should buy it because I believe that the phone only officially comes with WM5. So how stable is WM6 on the Artemis? Also, would you buy a phone with WM6 preinstalled? This basically means the phone has already been hacked into, correct?

Basically, do you think I'm better off buying one with the OEM software set-up or should I try this one with WM6. I like the fact that it already has Voice Command included (I was going to buy this anyway) but I'm not sure of the stability of WM6.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MaskedMarauder:
I think you will find that it has Voice Commander installed, it is not the same thing as MS Voice Command.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] paalkr:
Hi!

I'd definitely say you should by the retail one with WM5, to get a valid warranty and a reseller to complain to if something gets wrong with the device. Upgrading the device by your self to WM6 is very simple and easy if you follow the guides in this forum.

Regards,

PK
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] shawndh:
Oh. So what's the difference between Voice Commander and MS Voice Command? Do you have to do voice tags?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] glam:
That's a lot of money for a demo, too. I agree with others. WM6 is easy to install on your own.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MaskedMarauder:
MS Voice command you don't need to record tags, Voice Commander you do.

Also MS Voice Command will announce who is calling and read your text messages to you when they arrive, play your music (no tags there either, just say the album, artist or track name) tell you your battery level, signal strength, adjust the volume, turn flight mode on or off...... There is more info and a demo here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/voicecommand/default.mspx
