[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
the oleophobic coatings that phones normally come with is much better than anything a simple screen protector can provide. There is certainly less friction with a plastic screen protector but it still attracts smudges and finger prints. If there is a good oleophobic coating on the screen (e.g. on my previous Moto G4) it's a stark difference.

A tempered glass screen protector would be the solution but none of the ones I tried work and many of the reviews you find on Amazon are fake. I purchased a liquid screen protector that gives a good oleophobic coating for a few weeks to months but that's temporary as it wears off too quickly.

With that said, it doesn't really add to the durability of the phone. It's just the feel of it and the looks. Being anal as I am it just bugs me with any finger prints on the screen that develop and are hard to remove compared to one with a decent coating on it.

The 6X has a pretty wide curved edge and a tempered glass screen protector doesn't stick. Doesn't the 8 have a flat screen, in which case a nice tempered glass screen protector with oleophobic coating should work? That would be the big difference. You have the oleophobic coating on the 8 either way, while for the 6X that's not the case.

Btw. When I purchased the 5X it also came with a screen protector already installed, so it's not new.
[Honor 6X Accessories] Dishe:
Ah, I meant tempered glass- I always get a tempered glass cover for my phones. I suppose I wouldn't know if any of my phones were oleophobic or not, as I always have something else covering it!

My brother noticed on his Galaxy S5 many years ago that a tempered glass cover he got seemed resistant to smudges, and he was amazed that the screen looked better with the new material covering it than the bare screen ever did. Is that because the tempered glass was oleophobic? In which case, if I intend to get a tempered glass on whatever phone I buy next, does the screen being oleophobic or not make a difference?

As far as the 6x being curved, I see that on Amazon's reviews of covers. It might just be that this phone can't accept a traditional tempered glass cover, which is an interesting predicament.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
Almost all tempered glass screen protectors have an oleophobic coating. Definitely worth the investment if they work on your phone.

As for the 6X, exactly.... I've tried three so far from Amazon, all went back for a refund.
[Honor 6X Accessories] shashank1320:
Luckily haven't ordered as mine had the glass and still working fine. I know there are lot of problems with accessories of Honor phones as we don't get them easily in market.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
Alright, finally after some time and trying 4 different tempered glass screen protectors I found one that works for me. Not sure if this one was listed in this thread here before. I will add some images later to show what that looks like. This covers most of the screen with a blackened edge and it adheres to the entire screen underneath unlike other protectors. It was surprisingly easy to apply the first time (rolling down from long side of screen with alignment strips). They must be using a stronger adhesive for the protector to stay adhered to the rounded edges. Great so far. Will update after some time.

here is a link to the product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071P3W1NM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

edit: here are some pictures
[Honor 6X Accessories] Dishe:
Hey, that's looks pretty good from here! Can you get a straight-on shot horizontally from the top or bottom so we can see how the cover curves with the contour of the phone? This seems like a pretty good option IMO, and the price is decent. In fact, I think I own some other phone protectors from that brand!

That being the case, I have to say the argument some review sites are making against the 6X's lack of oleophobic coating seems weak. I always cover my screens, and as mentioned above, most tempered glass comes with such a coating. And if I am correct in my assumption, if I'm going to cover the glass either way, having it on the screen underneath doesn't really have much of an advantage.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
it matters if you are a purist and want the naked phone as it was made - no case, no screen protector.

take a look along the edge of the phone without anything on it and you'll see that it's very hard to see the curvature. You really only see it at an angle under the right reflection conditions. The screen protector looks almost entirely flat towards the edges at any angle. There might be a very slight angle.
[Honor 6X Accessories] shashank1320:
Looks pretty cool especially the fitting. Others that i have seen is cut and leaves the side screen open a bit. Its just covering the screen and not even the black lining that is surrounding the actual screen.

But this seems to be covering everything you need.
[Honor 6X Accessories] Dishe:
Fair enough. I'm a fan of using "naked" phones, or at least I used to be. I have kids. Kids that drop phones. I stopped risking an unprotected phone years ago, and my wife won't even take hers out of the box until I buy a protective case and screen protector. Experience. :P

But yeah, I guess it must be nice to be able to use a phone directly from the factory as the manufacturer intended. In this case, as the reviewers mention it as a reason to spend more on the Honor 8, I supposed it would be worth getting a screen protector either way. But anyway, I appreciate the help! Having a tough time deciding between the two phones, this information is useful thank you.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
I know exactly what you're talking about ;). My wife drops her phone on a daily basis.

I got the 6x for $129 at BB with a cricket package that I sold on eBay. The 8 was going for $260 at Newegg recently. If I had to choose between the two at these prices I'd pick the 8 definitely and buy the 6x for the family.
[Honor 6X Accessories] Medvosteri:
Looks really good, unfortunately no shipping to the netherlands.

Also, I have the white/silver version of the 6x, not sure if the black parts from this protector would look alright.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
Yeah, that may look odd. Hit the thanks button :)
[Honor 6X Accessories] chrisleLP:
I'm using Nillkin tempered glass now. Very smooth amd smudge free.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
Any issues with it adhering to screen at the edges?
[Honor 6X Accessories] chrisleLP:
That is a little bit of the downside with every edged screen these days. There will be some halos on the sides but other than that, no other problems.
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
not with this one though - no halos or delamination towards the rounded screen edges.
[Honor 6X Accessories] chrisleLP:
Looks great. How much was it?
[Honor 6X Accessories] derausgewanderte:
$8 on Amazon for a set of two.
[Honor 6X Accessories] chrisleLP:
Do they also have for Honor 8 Pro? Sorry I couldn't check it myself at the moment.

I am encountering another strange behaviour from time to time (german tmob rom):

After ending a call, the backlight of the device doesnt go on any more. Additionally, the start menu button (soft and hardbutton) isnt working anymore.

I can use HTC home, X-button, phone and so on - but no startmenu or backlight.

Anybody else with this issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylemongo:
same prob

good evening,

i have the same problem with my org. tytn II often after Locking the Device "Gerätesperre" with the 1.56.407.3 ROM.

I spoked with HTC, they sad that i will get an callback, but till now nothing happends.

What is the latest ROM Version for the Original HTC TyTN II?

I saw some newer version for the T-Mobile and Vodafone Devices,

but i would like the have the Manufactures Version.

greetz toni
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] licht77:
I found out a small workaround:

When holding the red "end call" button for some seconds, the device lock "Gerätesperre" will be activated. Simply do that, turn the device off and on again (no softreset, just sleep mode) and unlock the device. Problem gone.

Of course this is just a workaround... - i could permanetely solve this one by a hardreset.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] romma1:
I've come to terms with the likelihood that this phone will never see root. And if it does, there will be little to no development for custom roms or other goodies. I am to the point where I think the glory days of rooting and having cool software hacks that actually improve the phones are behind us. Now my opinion could be, because my last three phones have been locked down on Verizon, and my Razr M once unlocked never had great builds. The builds it did have had issues due to bootloader changes and my lack of willingness to downgrade the bootloader once other changes were made. As I recall. Still excited to see Nougat coming at least.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Well since Verizon just got rid of 2 year contracts for everyone so no subsidized phones I won't buy another carrier phone. My wife has the pixel xl and loves it. I will be going Google not so much for the unlocked bootloader more for immediate updates. Screw carrier and manufacturer taking forever to update or decide not to update (Droid Maxx 5.1 I'm looking at you).
[Droid Turbo 2 General] romma1:
Yup. Every single phone I have had has been in the Droid Line (HTC Included). No more!! Not after this phone runs dry.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mwake4goten:
I've noticed slight battery degradation which I'm trying to troubleshoot. The reason why is because I also updated to the latest HTC service pack at the same time I noticed the battery degradation. Now i know it might have been just a coincidence but it got me thinking about the HTC service packs.

I went on to apk mirror but it's impossible to tell which htc service pack does what. Does anybody know which htc service pack is the best one to have for battery life for the 10? I know some will say it's best to have the latest but from my experience latest doesn't always mean the best in terms of performance.

On a side note I find this lack of transparency frustrating. It annoys me when companies say "bug fixes and improvements" instead of outlining what the fixes are...

Hi there and welcome to Assist,

You can brick your device if you don't know what you are doing. Or bring it alive if you can handle it.

Pit file is used to store the details of various system partitions, it will be auto retrieved from your mobile at the time of flashing. Putting it manually is not advisable as wrong or corrupted pit file may brick your device

Give us more details about your device.

You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.

Good luck
[T-Mobile LG G4] fweezal:
I have two H811, mine and my wife's. I managed to root and install TWRP fine on mine via adb/fastboot with no problems but I can NOT get my PC to see the other H811. I can see it in the LGUP app just fine. I see it in device manager just fine. But, from the cmd box, I get nothing when I type "adb devices" or "fastboot" devices. Dev options are enable, OEM unlock checked and USB debug works because I can see it in my file explorer. I've rebooted both devices a bunch of times after disabling and reenabling stuff. Still, nuthin'.

Any suggestions?

EDIT -- After much muckin' about with reinstalling devices and drivers, I finally got adb to see the H811. Fastboot still doesn't see it though.

EDIT 2 -- It dawned on me that I have to be in the bootloader (I think) before I can use fastboot. At least fastboot sees the H811 and I can issue commands to the device. However, I can't flash anything to it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] fweezal:
After all the above stuff, I FINALLY got to flash SuperSu! Seems there's been some changes in the latest command verbage in fastboot. Since I've been using it, it's always required something like "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimagename.img" With the latest version, the word "recovery" is no longer required. Once I got it up and running, I flashed TWRP using Flashify. YMMV

[Honor 8 Accessories] XDARoni:
Using a case or going naked?​

So I was wondering if anyone else prefers to use their Honor 8 without a case. I usually have at least a case if not a screen protector as well, on my primary device. I really like the feel of the Honor 8 without a case so I've been using it like that. What about you: case, screen protector, both or none?
[Honor 8 Accessories] Procrustinator:
I just got my Honor 8 on Monday evening, so I haven't received the case and screen protector that I ordered yesterday. However, I found an Honor 8 TPU case at Best Buy that I picked up until the better one arrives.

I would prefer not to have to use a case, but with a glass phone I'm always leery about dropping and cracking it. With a lot of my older phones, I wasn't nearly as concerned. If you drop a plastic or metal phone, you probably won't shatter the entire thing.

I wish LifeProof would make a case for the Honor 8. Then I could at least have a fairly heavy duty case but still be able to see (most) of the beauty of the phone.
[Honor 8 Accessories] jkccl9:
use a clear case for protection, its slippery and you dont want to drop it and smash the glass

[Honor 8 Accessories] epdm2be:
I've only had this phone for about one week now and it already fell down 3 times. It's so damn slippery. Sure it feels nice but so does a wet bar of soap until it goes flying across the room. I've almost had a heart attack the first time it slid of my desk. It was a few hours old. I had a leather pouch and laid the phone on top of it. And suddenly it started to slide of of it... of my table and into the floor. Thank got for linoleum :) That this phone slide off of tables has so far happened 3 times. So I immediately sought for a silicone/TPU case and bought this (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01IHFADBK/ref=cfb_at_prodpg)

I've included a few pictures of its fit and looks. So far I'm happy. This didn't cost a fortune, the looks aren't spoiled and the handling is great. I'm confident that it wont slide of any table anymore ;)

As a bonus it still fit my leather pouch of which I've included pics as well.

In case you're wondering. The leather pouch is actually for an iPhone plus but I've used it for a Galaxy S5 until it broke a few weeks ago. I bought it in a local shop nearby about 2 years ago.

I haven't installed a screenprotector (yet). All the reviews that I've read stated that most (if not all) screenprotectors are a bit smaller than the actual screen. Reading the many offerings on e.g. Amazon also mention that this is due to the curved screen. And since I keep my phone in leather pouch when away from home I decided not to bother.

For me it was more to avoid the slipping out of hands and of tables that worried me.
[Honor 8 Accessories] cosmopath:
Getting a high-quality, durable case is enough imo. Most of the time the rubber lip around the case will do a better job absorbing fall damage than a screen protector will, not to mention a case covers both sides. Unless you're super sensitive to scratches, adding a screen protector just adds unnecessary cost and doesn't make the screen feel as nice as when it's naked.
[Honor 8 Accessories] jkccl9:
You can get tempered glass instead of plastic if you want the same feel.

Post processing is disabled with a unlocked bootloader (looks better in my opinion)

But you can flash a kernel that has the DRM Fix which re-enables DRM content (post processing included)
