[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
Hi all,

So I bought a OP3 used from some dude online. Phone was in great condition when I saw it. Only had a light scratch on the screen. Noticeable, but nothing to cry about. I did wonder what the guy could have done to it (and why he removed the screen protector) since it is GG4 and is supposed to be the newest of the new, but whatever. Well, a few days ago, I had to put the phone away in a locker and it was stored along with other phones. I did not notice until a day later, but it has a whole bunch of little scratches on the screen now. Just wanted to ask you all if anyone has had similar issues. My Nexus 6p has never gotten a scratch and I have always had it without a screen protector. I also am always careful with my devices. Never been dropped either.

Thanks,

I leave this here for you.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
Thanks but I kinda wanted real world experience. I have seen that video before. How am I supposed to know what strength a level 7 pick resembles. And even if I do my experience was glass on glass scratches which wouldnt make sense then.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shajk-00:
I have noticed two little scratches on the screen just a few minutes ago, i ve used it at the beach during a vacation .. i m a bit disappointed for the screen resistance of this phone , i would ve never thought this was supposed to have scracthes so easely...
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
Thanks for your comment. Exactly what I was thinking. The video above does not compare to real world usage.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shajk-00:
Yes indeed, mines are even very noticeable with the screen on...this device actually has a very bad screen resistance
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
Ok first of all every phone with gorilla glass 4 will scratch identically. Tired of all this my phone is scratched my other phones never scratched in every XDA forum for a specific phone. EVERY PHONE WILL SCRATCH IN YOUR POCKET. Tiny particles of silica are inside the grit in your pockets which is much harder than glass and if you rub your phone in your pocket it will scratch, and this happens every day. Every phone I've had without a screen protector is eventually filled with micro scratches. My Galaxy S3, HTC M7, galaxy S4, LG G2, xperia Z2, galaxy S5, galaxy S6 all scratched slowly over time. Its normal, get a screen protector and you won't complain :) :)
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
Uhhmm.. It's not really a complaint. I am just wondering why they are soo noticeable. I am looking at my 6p right now on direct light and at my OP3. I treat them both the same, wear the same clothes (not every day), put them in the same pocket all the time and never put anything else in that pocket but the phone. Both phones are not using cases. I see no noticeable scratches (to me) on the 6p. The oneplus 3's are very noticeable. If you are tired of the posts, then go complain to the people that make the videos of them scratching the phones with picks that do not mimic real world usage. I just posted to read what others thought. I mean the phone is awesome and everything and scratches aren't gonna hurt performance but I was literally in awe because I have never scratched a phone as noticeable as the OP3 has gotten.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] 2x4:
Sand will easily scratch any glass even gorilla glass, regardless of your phone.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Flyin18T:
I didn't like the screen protector that came with my OP3 because it muted the sharpness of the screen. I tried a couple tempered glass protectors off Amazon and they didn't adhere truly to 100% of the screen...so I threw both out. I was about to settle for another screen protector, however I decided I just liked the sharpness of the display with nothing on it, along with the natural oleophobic feel of the glass. I decided that since the phone was only 399 that I'd wing it and see how long I could get out of using it the way I truly enjoyed it before I detected the slightest of any flaw on the screen. It's been approx. two months now and I love using the display with no protection, and still don't have a single scratch. I regularly have the phone in my pocket, along with constantly transferring it between my car cradle and my house/office. I regularly clean the phone every evening....wipe down the back with a dab of alcohol on a tissue, and a dab of water to wipe down screen. Never use anything other than water on the screen because it will deteriorate the oleophobic coating. So far so good.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
Then you're doing something wrong with the OP3. The pick test is a real world test. If 2 screens require a level 6 on the mobs scale then it will require something of that hardness or higher to scratch your screen. The OP3 and 6P have the same exact screen hardness, they will scratch exactly the same. You or someone probably moved your phone while it was flat on its screen and it went over some grit or something which scratched the screen. It happens and it sucks.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
Yeah you are probably right. It sucks that it happened so quick though. What I don't like about the pick test is that they should at least show what they mean by level 6 or give a little more explanation. In any case, this was not being made to rant on the phone quality because it is a very well made phone for the price. It exceeded my expectations coming from previous OP devices. I am perfectly fine with the phone. I ordered a TG protector. Hopefully it can hide some of the scratches.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crzykiller:
Yeah it sucks, my boss slid my 2 day old bare galaxy S6 on a smooth surface and the rear glass was scratched all around the sides.

Friend is selling his brand new phone he bought with contract from EE UK a couple of weeks back.

EE has a policy of 6 months minimum before they will unlock it themselves.

Can I just go through an unlock code website/ebay/ corner shop to get the phone unlocked? If so,what do you recommend?

The phone will aslo be used in another country,no the UK.

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dayl1ght:
root and flash right firmware

are your friend really buy it?

hear stolen phones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 66yyhhnn66:
Any other say other than root? Online codes seem nice and easy.

If i were to factory reset it later on,will i lose the unlock?

Thank you again!

No matter what sim card I try i keep getting Not Registered on Network. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] amar95353:
If you have tried a ee sim and it says not registered on network, this means it is blocked and has either been reported lost or stolen, this means there is nothing you can do to make that phone work on a network.

If the phone does work and can make and recieve calls on a ee sim then all you need to do to unlock is to put a ee pay as you go sim in and fill in the form from the link provided. The unlock costs 9 pound direct from EE.

Here's a link: http://ee.co.uk/help/contact-us/phone---devices/unlocking-my-phone/unlock-my-phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 66yyhhnn66:
What if I were to use it in another country? Would it work by any chance ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] troxter:
Should work outside UK.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] v1rk:
Just unlock from EE for free they wont charge you. You can unlock via third party if you wont but it wont be blocked or anything unless you report it stolen to them or you stop paying the contract bill for that phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] amar95353:
Yes it will work very will outside of the UK even if it is blocked.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

Unlock with ee is only free after you have had the phone and contract for a minimum of 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NJ72:
EE charge normally, but any website should be able to unlock a device for a fee. Agree with what people are saying, though, it's almost certainly stolen if an EE sim doesn't work in it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hawkerpaul:
Unless EE have changed their policy recently, the will charge you to unlock even if you are outside of contract. They tried to charge me when I unlocked my S4. I unlocked through the EE app, and I argued that the information that I was to be charged was outside of the bounds of my screen (I had to scroll all the way down to see that I was about to be charged) so they wavered the fee.

EE Unlock Link
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 66yyhhnn66:
It's not stolen. It was either reported stolen or stopped paying contract. Probably the latter.

The phone is a gift for someone outside the UK. I only want to know if he is going to be able to use it with no problems.

I have a SM-T705 with broken display, the glass seems fine and the rest of the tab is in a really good shape. New displays for this device is incredibly expensive and I can't afford. The device has not been rooted or flashed before, not that I know of

I never sell any mine used mobile,

I tried to sell a s4 variant untouched, but nobody wanted, and gone to trash, i hate ext4 devices, worst more british devices.

But why not sell customized?

Is a good idea, selling customized with all tools and original rom recorded in a cdrom.

:thumbup:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Id imagine thatd open you up to problems unless the buyer knows PRECISELY what theyre getting. I know I wont root or install custom roms on anyone's devices outside my immediate family because they have no clue how to update them. I unwillingly become 24/7 tech support & if they do something dumb they point a finger at me.

Cant imagine whatd be like if they actually paid me. But do it with the understanding all sales are final & maybe youll be ok.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Absolutely not. Very bad idea. Why not? Because the vast majority of people out there have no idea what they're doing with a customised device. They won't be able to update in the normal way. The device is more vulnerable to being screwed up with an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and root. If/when they screw it up or brick it you leave yourself open to them claiming that you gave them a dodgy device. So even if a buyer wanted it modified I'd only ever sell a device in 100% stock condition.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahools:
Hi folks,

I'm after some information. My Nexus 4 is about kaput now with the battery lasting about 4 hours or so with a full charge so I am looking to move over to my S4 mini for a while before buying an upgrade.

However i don't fancy rolling back to 4.4.2 from 5.1.1 as have got accustomed to it now. so there for I am looking to upgrade/flash it or whatever.

I am quite the novice and have not done this on any phone before so I am looking for a bit of help,

I have looked over xda and read some bits but think someone just telling me would be better, i'm not a tech dunce but I am not 100% confident in this at the moment as there seems to be more than one way of doing this.

What do i need to do first and foremost to make the process go as planned?

I take it I need to "root" the phone first (what does this do ? give me access to the firmware level? is that it?) using a "recovery tool" as they are called (is that right?)

Then after I have done that I can install a fresh ROM onto the phone and basic app's etc.

I have seen these guides:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980

and

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-13-0-s4-mini-t3276141

Is it just a matter of following them or are there other things I need to do first, in between or after?

I am not bothered about anything being saved on the s4 mini it can be wiped clean and start a fresh, I don't need any of my data on it backed up

A quick bullet guide or acknowledgement of the two threads above or pointing me towards some better ones would be great and any pointers or descriptions of the acronyms or places in menu's which may have had their names changed or have been moved.

Many thanks Everyone,

Dahools

Hi!, you dont need to worry about anything, the only thing that you need is follow these guides, but make sure if you have the correct variant.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syednawaz:
First Install Kies and connect your phone to it( For correct phone drivers). And after phone connect wells, Close kies from task manager.

You Need Odin to install a recovery software in your phone(TWRP, Clock Recovery, Philip). I only used twrp now.

Here is link below with instruction. Download recovery for your variant(i9190,i9192 or i9195 base on your model).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

Suppose if you install TWRP. Boot into recovery, And click Wipe, Do a factory reset , Clear Devil cache, Then go back and install your Firmware(cm12.1 or cm13 for your intended model). And flash Gapps as well. Then reboot. And you are done.

I have tried TWRP for both i9190 and i9192 model. and installed custom roms. Work fine.

Good Luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahools:
thanks fellas

I went for it with the original links and it worked. (eventually) A bit of user error on my part missing recovery mode on reboot first time and thinking it was done when it wasn't. Only putting the first bit in (root kit v2) then not realising how to flash the next parts. A bit of persistence paid off.

I have a I9195 model and rooting with that clockwork worked then loading the CM13 and then the Gapps. All one after the other in one go finally worked for me! so so far so good, just getting used to Android 6 now I think everything is working though, not put my sim in yet. will do that tomorrow.

If anyone was to follow what I did the big tip I would say is copy everything onto the SD card before you start anything, not as I did at first just putting the first bit on then thinking I can copy the next bit on later . . .
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bokoblin:
I don't understand why Android August OTA indicates "System has unexpecting content" whereas the only modifications I made since my last factory reset (two weeks ago due to encryption decrypt corruption with July OTA) were to flash systemless SuperSu and systemless Xposed 86.2 and install BusyBox to /su.

I tried once directly via System updates section and twice with Flashfire default OTA config.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meekrawb:
Systemless root modifies the boot.img. That is probably why it fails.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bokoblin:
I know but system is not boot, the error indicated system. By the way, FlashFire restores boot and recovery partition before trying to apply update so they were stocks at the moment

[Galaxy S6 Active] JakobFischer:
I've only been really using my S6A for a few months, and in that time it has been getting exponentially slower, now to the point that it lags several seconds before showing the home screen. Upon checking the stats, I noticed that the RAM was almost topped out, and even a ram cleaner couldn't keep more that 200Mb free. I've heard this may be a problem with touchwiz, but I'm curious, is it really a common problem, and is there a fix? P.S. I only have two user apps running in the background, and they usually take up 50Mb of RAM between them, so it's not that.
