[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Using the Unified Toolkit with the factory image from Google worked. It does not use the flash-all.bat, and flashes each piece of the factory image with its own commands so there was no error relating to lack of storage space. Watching the flash commands go by, it appears my error may have been using "fastboot flash system system.img" because the Toolkit used "fastboot flash system_a system.img". I was using system_b for the system_other.img, but not system_a for system.img. NONE of the articles on the web relating to flashing the factory image for a Pixel/XL said anything about system_a, so they are likely using dated flash methods.

My phone is now alive.

This was also the LEAST PAINFUL factory reset I've ever done. Using the restore from cloud option during setup, and selecting my Pixel XL (last used today), it immediately restored my home screen layout (apps grayed out until downloaded), my texts are all back, and most app data is restored as well IF you allowed them to backup to Drive during your initial setup. I basically lost nothing but my time in doing all of this.

Thanks for sharing this! I will now use this tool from now on. Glad you were able to solve your problem

So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.

However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.

I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.

Anybody found a screen protector they like?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] knives of ice:
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device

edit here it is

I have the mi mix pro version and using this glass screen protector. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142182915322

Perfect fit but has the rainbow effect on the middle of the screen. It looks like it disappears as time goes on though. It's edge to edge no halo.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] jimtim1980:
Hey, did the cheapo screen protectors work? I'm looking for a solution as well.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] darveniza:
I Used Ali Express to purchase cases and screen protectors from China. You can download app from Play Store
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] bigcc32:
Haven't Arrived Yet

They haven't arrived yet, but I will post a review as soon as they do.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] jimtim1980:
I'm riding naked right now. Couldn't take it anymore. Screen is too beautiful not to see. I'm using the phone for entertainment now until better cases arrive at my house.

I ordered some screen protectors as well.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] bigcc32:
Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.

The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] jimtim1980:
Curious. How do you have it insured?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] bigcc32:
Worth Ave Group. Always have had good experiences with them; they've never done me wrong, and they cover accidental damage.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] jimtim1980:
I'll have to check that out for sure. I have never dropped a phone before but who knows. "knock on wood".

I found some pretty cool phone cases on eBay and one on Amazon. Hopefully they'll get here within the next few weeks.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/182363332970

[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] bigcc32:
The last eBay link you posted is interesting as it does have what looks like extra corner protection. Might grab me one of those.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] jimtim1980:
How long did they take to get to you? Did you order them to be shipped to the US?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

My phone came with this case on it when i purchased it. Do you have a grid of little dots across the entire screen?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] psygnosi:
Yes it does. You notice it when screen is off.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] darveniza:
Ali Express shipping to USA take around 2 weeks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] rjwdon:
Have they arrived yet? Are they any good? Looking for screen protectors myself, but cant be arsed fluffing around with crappy ones.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] Constrabus:
Anyone find a good tempered glass protector?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] Thorin78:
I bought this a day ago, should get here tomorrow. will let you know. I didn't want to wait for the 2 weeks to get to the US

[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] syther:
I just installed this Screen protector and I have to admit that it fits very nicely. No air Bubbles or anything.

Unfortuanely, i can confirm the amazon Reviews, that the Touch responsveness is pretty bad
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] Thorin78:
Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.

does it fit even w/ the case on?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] syther:
Still waiting on the Films i ordered. I'll post an Update.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] nikhil.mehta:
Seconded. The fit is good but the touch response is horrible. It's not even something I can work with little discomfort. It's just appalling.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] satishp:
I have ordered the "Full display" coverage model as well as the standard tempered glass protector which only covers the viewing area. Disappointed to see that the ones with the full coverage are bad. Anyone has any experiences with the regular tempered glass protector? I believe that adheres directly to the screen unlike the full coverage protectors with adhesive only around the edges. Hopefully the regular ones shouldn't have an issue with touch sensitivity.

As much as I'm loving this device, it seems too fragile to use without a screen protector and a case. I hate the plastic screen protectors. :(

Even the included leather case doesn't look like it can withstand drops. I've ordered almost every case available on ebay, even the Love mei performance case. Sadly its coming via the super slow china post! Using the device as a secondary device till then!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] satishp:
Check out the Atfolix FX Hybrid Glass Screen protectors. Slightly pricey as they are German made but also includes a glass protector for the back. HAve used them before on other devices and they are excellent. For those who don't like tempered glass protectors, they also have anti-shock protectors available. Worth checking out.

Just placed an order now.

I found a traditional tempered glass cover:

Does anyone have experience with this brand? It looks promising actually.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] lunarken:
i have tried 2 full coverage glass.

all gave a newton rings in the middleâ€¦ its ugly when viewed from the sidesâ€¦

i tore out n threw.. now using naked screen.

non full coverage glass will give a helo effect all around.

also ugly.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] LaNsLyDe:
Hey saw one like this one Amazon and a buyer said it doesn't actually adhere in the middle only on the black parts.

Is this the same one ?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] Crossvxm:
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but the edge issue is a problem with all smartphones with curved glass. The best screen protectors for curved–edge smartphones is Zagg, but they only produce protectors for main highend smartphones. Everything out there sucks, but I trust Nacodex with uncommon smartphones as they have an outstanding value to quality ratio (the more you buy the better), they ship fast and it arrives fast, the adhesive is very bubble resistant (for those who aren't good at installing them)and their nanocoating is above average. They usually have tempered glass screen protectors for most smartphones not found in the US, so I stick to them unless I need something temporary to arrive quicker.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

See my recommendation on it above. It isn't the best, but its the highest quality for smartphones that don't have a high quality brand like Zagg or Spigen.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] iivoodoo:
If anyone here lives in Canada, I fully recommend the ClearPlex screen protector from BestBuy. I'm not sure if something similar is offered in other countries.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
I'm thinking about getting a tablet screen protector and just cutting it to fit. Shouldn't be hard, just need to hole punch the camera hole.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] NGP-1001:
There's no way BestBuy has a screen protector for the Mi Mix , is this a huge pad that you cut yourself ?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] filip_pine:
I thought i was the only one with the rainbow effect in the middle of the screen... This screen protector would have been awesome without the black edges...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] JuloGang:
TYLEX (brand name) tempered glass and jelly case for xiaomi mi mix?

Anyone has tried the TYLEX (brand name) tempered glass and jelly case for xiaomi mi mix?

I am new so I cannot post a link but it's available in Lazada. It's a translucid transparent (so the design of the mobile is visible) jelly (so maybe good to protect from drops) case plus 2 tempered glasses... I am wondering if the touchscreen sensitivity remains good with these.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] juggaknot77:
Don't waste your money, I read reviews on it and like most screen protectors for the Mix they all suck.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] JuloGang:
I received it and the screen protector is responsive but visually horrible indeed due to the 2.5D display shape as mentioned earlier. However I like the jelly translucid transparent case.

I still keep the screen prtector on, not for scatches but for impacts.

OUKITEL C5 Pro - Information & Reviews - 5.0" HD | MT6737 | 2GB | 16GB | Metal Frame

OUKITEL C5 Pro

Specs:

Leaked News:

OUKITEL is starting to work on a new smartphone named C5 Pro with proper screen protection and all-metal frame.

Here you can see the first rendering of the C5 Pro. The texture printed back cover and the all-metal frame are pretty noticeable. The texture printed back requires more complicated procedure than any other battery covers. Also, the OUKITEL's factory, will do one more extra process to make the texture's print more clear and anti-abrasive. The all-metal frame is CNC crafted to make it more comfortable to handle.

The C5 Pro will come with a compact and handy body since it is designed with a 5-inch HD display for one-hand operation. According to the OUKITEL product team, it will use Asahi or Corning Glass for the screen to mitigate shocks efficiently and to make it harder against sharp scratches. It should have a 9H hardness and more than 800MPa stress value for the screen. (to be verified though)

As for the specs, the C5 pro is said to come with a MediaTek MT6737 quad-core 1.3GHz chipset, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM and 5.0 inch HD display.​
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Stylish, Speedy and Strong! This is the new OUKITEL C5 motto. Tough and durable devices are attracting more and more attention and smartphone manufacturers are trying their best to improve the durability one after another. OUKITEL already leaked week ago that their next smartphone C5 Pro will feature a full-metal frame and anti-smash screen. Here you can see the full specs and price range of this model.

[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
OUKITEL C5 Pro meets screen challenge

Smartphone manufacturers are paying more attention on the durability of smartphones. OUKITEL is one of them who is doing a good job in this field. Recently OUKITEL introduced another shock-proof smartphone C5 Pro.

It was said to feature a tougher build quality and fabulous hand feel. Today, OUKITEL's Official YouTube channel uploaded a new video of the C5 Pro. Several challenges were carried out to show the the device toughness.

[YOUTUBE]WoaTttyg2JA[/YOUTUBE]

Hit by an hammer, knocked nails into wood, dropped from top head, there is not any scratch or crack on it. C5 Pro screen has gone through several process to be toughened before putting into massive production. It passed several tests like dropping, slide dropping, twists, high temperature, low temperature, rolling tests, etc. to ensure the materials conform the quality standards.

Another good news is that hte OUKITEL C5 Pro will pack a silicone case as standard package. The silicone case is also special designed to protect the screen. With the silicone case, even with a drop on one of the 4 corners, it will survive. So users don't need to worry about the device from suffering damages by dropping.

OUKITEL C5 Pro has been already released on OUKITEL's official website, to know more, click here: http://www.oukitel.com/products/c/c5-pro-59.html . Presale flash sale will start next week. Authorized stores could be found on OUKITEL official store page.​

Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – GPU Performance isn't superb, lower than MT6735, i don't know why every MT6737 device has this Graphics Performance issue.

AndroBench – eMMC Performance is sufficient, Write Speed lower than average.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – As you can see, 3D performance is low. Not as good as MT6735, somehow lower than other MT6737 devices.

GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – As already said, GPU performance is lower than MT6735 so it clearly confirms that Mediatek broke something in this SOC.

PCMark – Sufficient Performance, nothing to complain about it.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – Just like other MT6737 devices, you can't expect high scores here.

Conclusions

Starting from the C3, the C-series devices from OUKITEL always impressed me, but this time, considering that the C4 was just enough even though it had a weaker build quality, i'm not as impressed or satisfied.

Compared to the C4, there are some upgrades and downgrades. More RAM/ROM together with a Better Chassis, but weaker screen and speaker compared to the C4. Anyway, just like almost OUKITEL devices, the price-quality ratio is unbeatable.

So, do i recommend it? If you have a C4 and you are satisfied with it, no, otherwise if you are searching for a low-end device with some decent hardware, then this might be a good choice.

Pros:

Impressive Metal Chassis

Extra RAM/ROM compared to the C4

Decent Battery Life

TPU Cover included

Cons:

No Notification LED

Worse Speaker Quality compared to the C4

Worse Screen Quality compared to the C4

Interesting to see there is little discussion about this phone, it does look great for the money. Is the battery like really OK? 2000mah seems small for 2017 :/
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Just like all previous gen devices (C3 and C4), it doesn't seem that users who buy this kind of ultra-cheap devices are interested to join a community.

Well the battery is sufficient, there isn't much power to handle.

ROM Oukitel C5 Pro

Hello,

I'd bought this phone but i can't find Rom update (The OTA update won't avaible). I'd found some rom on NeedRom but it's indicate that thre are for MT6737M, but my phone is MT6737 (i didn't find any C5Pro with a MT6737M), so can i download and install needrom Rom ?

Thanks for answer.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Don't worry, in reality the CPU is MT6737M, not MT6737. (otherwise we would get different performance results)
[Device Reviews and Information] bab1c:
Thanks, i'll update this phone Nougat ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] sherlockspringer:
Did it go ok? Asking because the comments on Needrom are not all very positive about the update. But also notice that the comments are older; for previous versions of the update.

Is there a lot of Chinese crapware on this ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] bab1c:
No problems after intallation, everythinks seems ok.

This ROM if free of crapware and gots stock launcher (not pixel launcher), some menu haven't been translate (in French) but this not a problem.

On need ROM problems seem to be for 1.1 version i've download the 1.3 one and it's ok.
[Device Reviews and Information] sherlockspringer:
Thanks for your quick reply! I'll give it a go then :)
[Device Reviews and Information] gskoof:
Have you done the update from SYSTEM UPDATE (local update) or with flash tool?
[Device Reviews and Information] gskoof:
I tried with flash tool the "download only" function but didnt work!
[Device Reviews and Information] A1deparagon:

[Device Reviews and Information] bab1c:
Don't know about battery life, it's my daughter phone and she doesn't regulary use it.
[Device Reviews and Information] A1deparagon:

[Device Reviews and Information] C5Pro:
Hi. Enjoyed the review. Just got myself one of these Oukitel C5 Pro.

Not sure if many people are following this thread. Happy to answer any questions or discuss this phone.

Have to say, so far, really disappointed in the camera. Is there anything can be done? My last phone was a Sesonn N9700 and pictures were MUCH better. Oukitel just seems really noisy, in all conditions? Anyone figured out some good settings, or is it just bad hardware?

Also interested in getting Android 7? Isn't this supposed to be available by Wireless update - I got a small fix update but still Android 6 ???? Will it become available? Should I use the version on NeedROM? Is this equally optimised/official? Given Oukitel are releasing Android 6 updates, is it better to stick with this for now??
