I have a 6P and 5x both on 7.1.2 beta, no Google Assistant. I have a hunch that apart from having to have the new Google Play Services, that individual accounts have to have the switch thrown on it by Google. Like many of Google's software updates this is liable to take weeks for everyone to see.
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I have a 6P, 5X and a 5. Yesterday in an effort to solve another problem, I had clean installed factory 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.1 and 7.1.2(beta) with locked bootloaders and completely stock onto my 6P. None of the phones and none of the factory ROMs had Google Assistant enabled even after updating all stock apps. WTF, Google, after your big announcement that it was available? Aside from the one person in this thread, I haven't heard of anyone having this enabled, even read through over 400 comments in Android Police thread.
[Nexus 6P General] shamelin73:
Still have not received it. Running stock 7.1.1.
[Nexus 6P General] Janerd:
It's a server side switch, so we all have to just wait until google flips the switch.
[Nexus 6P General] berry_lthird:
Here's how I did it:

I enrolled with ALL the permissions with the Google (Google Now) app; i.e., News and weather updates.

Then, I downloaded and enrolled with Google Allo. I gave it ALL of the permissions it requested of me. Then I made a few queries with Allo's Google Assistant bot.

It's important that you turn Location and Search histories ON.

I was greeted by Google Assistant shortly thereafter...

Hope this helps!

[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] lukmanhakimlah:
Hi,

I just got my A7010 3GB model recently.

Suddenly I realize, when making calls, the screen won't turn off when putting it near the ear as it should do.

Later that week, suddenly, I can't switch on the NFC toggle. Everytime I do, it just seems like to try to turn NFC on, but it kicks back to OFF.

I can't even use the double tap to wake or "Knock to wake" as it is in the settings.

Any help from you awesome guys are so much appreciated.

[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
Hello All,

Can anyone suggest where can we get screen protectors for HTC touch cruise. I mean the protecter should cover not only the display but also the camera and notifications led's???
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
You should have 1 or 2 in the box. And you don't want it to cover the camera. The picture/video quality would be poor.
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
I had only one in the box and when i am trying to apply it, it didnt go of well. So, I want to remove it and apply a new one. Screen protector i am having which came in the HTC box, leaves holes for camera and notification led. Why we need to cover entire display is when we use the touch cube functioanility often ur fingers slips and it leaves finger spots there....
[Touch Cruise General] isv51:
In the german forum they discuss about the same problem... nearly everybody is waiting for screen protectors from "BRANDO" They don't cover only the screen.
[Touch Cruise General] badaccent:
I second that! I have had BRANDO protectors on nearly all my PDAs and they NEVER got scratched on the screen or anything. The protectors are not cheap but worth it!
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Brando replied to me they are going to ship the Cruise protectors within 2 weeks. So let's wait and see.
[Touch Cruise General] sp1der:
I'm in the same condition... I'm waiting Brando screen protector, it's the best!
[Touch Cruise General] isv51:
I never owned a ppc before... For my TC is nothing too expensive ;) Only the best.

[Touch Cruise General] sedde:
if you didnt apply it ok then redo it, i took mine out like 3 times untill i installed it correctly, i washed it with soap to clear dust and stuff and re-applied, worked like a charm
[Touch Cruise General] ronaldvg:
I bought a protector from Veripart together with the Polaris. It has a cutout for the speaker on the top but not one for the camera, but it is so clear that it does not interfere with the camera (not visibly anyhow). I tried a photo before applying the protector and after under the same circumstances and I did not find any differences. Besides that it makes the lens easier to clean because it is now flush with the rest of the screen. I like it very much. I never use the supplied protectors with my phones. If you ever tried a Brando or a Veripart then you will know why ;-) . The protector covers the whole of the front of the phone, right until the edges of the device.

Where did you get it? do they have a US website?

Cheers.

[Touch Cruise General] dcbehan:
FYI, these do not cover the entire faceplate of the Polaris. They are just standard protectors (and not very good ones at that) sized to the touch screen.

[Touch Cruise General] Rob CT:
I've been using the protector that came with the phone and I find that unless I keep it clean, the touch experience is not so great. Sometimes hard to get a smooth swipe. The glass on the screen however works well even when smudged. Is there a protector out there that works better? If not, I'm going bareback.
[Touch Cruise General] turcomora:
Dont do it man. No glove no love
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
Can any one has any idea where we can get screen protectors for TC. I want to cover the entire faceplate.. I am based in US. So, any US links will do a world of good.
[Touch Cruise General] wonderiuy:
HERE: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=156120
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
I called Mobile planet and they told it will cover only 2.8" screen
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
The screen protector that came in my package with the TC covers the whole dark-grey area above the soft buttons, and has a cut for the phone and the camera. Wiping is super easy, and cleaning too. I don't know what you guys are talking about :P
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
If you use a Brando screen protector you will understand! ;) It makes using touch flo with finger much easier!
[Touch Cruise General] GpsPasSion:
Brando UltraClear or Brando Anti-Glare ? On the "non-touch" devices I preferred the Anti-Glare as it gave a good grip with the stylus, ultraclear was rather slippery, maybe it works better with a "touch" sreen though?
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
I accidentally started another thread in the Accessories section (thanks to victoradjei for pointing me to this one).

I got my Touch Cruise on Friday and the device is absolutely fantastic but there is one huge problem with it and it's really crying out for a good screen protector.

Using my TC with either the bare screen or with the screen protector supplied in the box, the smudges that get onto the screen are a real issue. It's not a case of cleaning it every day when you get home, it really is a case of pulling out a perfectly clean device, flicking up the cube to fire up the calculator, doing 60 seconds of calculations and then putting it away and even after that the screen is covered with smudges to an extent that bugs me. I really need a good protector, or some spray-on covering (victoradjei suggested the Veripart screen cleaner) to help.

By the way, I can confirm that the screen protector that came with my TC is a full-screen one, i.e. it goes to the edges of the physical device and not just the active display area, and it has cutouts for both the speaker and the front camera. Like Rob CT though, I do find that it reduces sensitivity somewhat and on mine there is a problem with the adhesive in one corner so it doesn't stick down properly there.

One thing I like about a full screen protector is that it is so much easier to get it lined up properly when fitting it compared to trying to get a screen protector properly aligned into a recessed screen. It also makes it easier to get all the dust off the screen before applying the protector because you can brush it off the sides as if you're cleaning off a dining table rather than being in danger of sweeping it into the corners of the recess. I got my screen protector fitted perfectly first time with no trapped dust and no bubles whereas on my O2 XDA Orbit I think it took me 4 attempts to get it right (involving washing it and lots of swearing between each attempt).

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
Although I believe that this topic should be posted under Accessoires, I will follow the rules of the majority.

I have the same problem with the supplied screen protector.

I found out that Brando will come out with two types of screen proctectors of which on is anti-glare. That's the one I want to try.
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
I find the supplied protector excellent. Easy to fix without bubbles, very smooth and you don't realise after installation that there is a protector on screen. Touch functionality with no deifference with protector on. It does get finger prints ofcourse as you touch it but wipes off easily with a swipe of cotton cloth.
[Touch Cruise General] tea3:
My solution when I bought the Cruise , 1 month ago .

I also bought a PDair screen protector for Ipod Touch and cut it with a bistoury .

I used the screen protector provided by HTC as a model

The little hole for the front cam lens was made qith a tool for making holes in leather (for belts)

It's not perfect , but the touch is well protected and when the screen is turned-on the protector is invisible .
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
I have some trouble cleaning my screen protector. I wash it (soap and all, nice and messy :p) but now I have to get it dry :D Just letting it dry on the air gives me about 20 circles on the protector, the dry stains. Just drying it with a towel gives me lots of dust and such. Any advice for a simple fool? Thanks.

Update: It's the standard restickable European HTC screen protector.

Update2: It's horrible now, the sticky part of the protector is dusted and scratched and the phone looks totally used now, when only 2 weeks old! The screen itself (luckily) is not damaged yet.
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
Is the Brando screenprotector already available for the HTC Cruise?
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
I haven't found it yet :( Btw I kind of like the standard HTC screen protector, just dont mess with it to clean it, leave it as is, but I DON'T want to buy from expansys (the € 10 shipping rate is just ridiculous...)
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
Hi, I am also on look out for same one which came along with TC.
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Seems like only expansys has it (being the official accessory distributor...)
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
Shipping rate is ridiculous as you pointed out.. I spoke with a sales person in expansys and he told it will cover only the 2.8" screen and not the full faceplate... any idea on that..
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Well, I thought that only the HTC covers covered the faceplate, as it looks that way in the picture (http://www.expansys.be/zoompic.aspx?type=item&i=156120). Maybe the sales person was talking about this (http://www.expansys.be/p.aspx?i=154620&asource=160263) protector, which indeed only covers the LCD screen.

Note that expansys features the same products on different ccTLD domains.
[Touch Cruise General] reteb:
I asked Brando about when they will have their screen protector available for the TC and got the following response:

So looks like we'll have to wait a bit for their version.

Reteb
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
I just measured my device. Rounding it up a bit, we need a screen protector for a device with a 3.75 inch screen (3.5 inch isn't quite big enough unfortunately).

If we could find a Brando (or other high quality) screen protector for a device with a screen that is at least 3.75 inches then we could just make a template and use that to cut the big protector down to size.

Brando do a huge number of screen protectors and I see one for a Nokia 770 web brower tablet thing listed on their site, that should be more than big enough to cut down I think. It's a pain, there's the curved top and the speaker/lens cutout, but might be worth a try for people who don't want to wait.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
What about Veripart?

Is it as good as Brando?

Someone any experience with this brand?

Veripart is avaiable!
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
If I'm not mistaken, Veripart protectors only fit the 2.8'' display.. If you've found one, please provide a link :)
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
http://www.smartphoneshop.nl/produc...t-screenprotector-htc-p3650-touch-cruise.html
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
Looks encouraging to me. The TC has a fairly standard size screen (display-area wise) but this part is listed as compatible with only the TC. I wouldn't think they'd do that unless it was specific to the TC, i.e. shaped to cover the surround.

So back to Alex's question. Does anyone have any experience of whether this is a quality manufacturer of screen protectors?

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
I think that's the standard 2.8'' cover, but if anyone buys it and shows me a picture on the TC, I'll be happy to believe it ;)
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Hmm, when I mailed them (quite some time ago) they said they would have it within two weeks. And now this.. weird...
[Touch Cruise General] tytn88:
http://shop.brando.com.hk

i found this site and they had the screen protectors listed for the touch curise from brando, is that the ones?

just go to shop by category on the left and choose screen protector then ultra clear or anti-glare.
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
Finally, BRANDO Screen Protector

http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_list.php?cat_id=0851&dept_id=039

Just ordered mine. 2 pcs for each category. Free shipping.
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Before ordering, two things:

1. these prices are WAY better than anything I've found online. Thats good :)

2. How big is this thing. I'm gonna wait untill you get yours to be sure that it fits the ENTIRE screen, as there is no mention of the screen size... :(

Good thing though that we can finally get our Brando :)

Good shipping rate @$3!
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Oh great! Seems like they weren't lying to me when they told me they would have it soon :).

I'm gonna order one from them. So far my experience with both the protectors and that online shop have been really good.

I think I'm going for the anti-glare protector. But I'm not 100% sure what the differences are between the ultra clear and the anti glare (except the anti glare does the err... anti glare thingy :) ). The anti glare is cheaper though :D I always ordered an ultra clear to be honest.. hmm. But the Cruise could use some anti glare I guess.
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
I don't know if anti-glaring a glaring surface will do any good :p

The protector itself will not reflect, but the device will keep reflecting imho.
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
I'm most worried about which one protects best against smudges on the screen so please report back on how this goes, especially reyjabs who has ordered both types. I'd be really interested in the comparison.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Just a comment here!!! The site says that screen protector is suitable for HTC Touch Cruise AND O2 XDA Orbit II.

BUT... the surface of the two devices is DIFFERENT! So... does these screen protectors cover the whole surface of the device or only the 2,8" screen?!?!?!? :confused:
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
Uurgh. That is worrying.

For convenience, here is a random link to a picture of the Orbit 2 (the first hit on my Google search) so that people can see for themselves: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/11/09/o2_xda_orbit_2/

I suppose the O2 Orbit design could have changed between announcement and launch, or it could be an error on the Brando site, but it is a concern.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
I've used both premium ultra-clear and anti-glare on my Palm Treo 750v and based on my experience, anti-glare is better as it does'nt catch fingerprints at all. I ordered both because Brando's specs says it's ultra-clear SP's does'nt catch fingerprints as well. Just to be sure in case it does'nt live up to my expectation.

That's why I ordered two each in case there's some cutting required, but I doubt it. Besides Touch Cruise screen is bigger than o2 XDA II. If there's cutting to be done, it would be for the smaller screen.
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Ok... we are looking forward for you comments! :o
[Touch Cruise General] bluebee:
I too am curious too know about size of brando. I am not sure which one i need to get. Can any one suggest which is good for the phone. Anti glare / ultra clear
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Read up a few comments, same user which bought them will also compare.
[Touch Cruise General] dcbehan:
Brando claims that they will cover the entire face of the Polaris. I ordered two anti-glare & we'll see if they're the right ones or not.

[Touch Cruise General] profitoral:
I would rather go with a full front face protector so I can avoid scratches in the front face as well. Even a full body would be nice.

I've tried a full body protector in an iPhone and although the feeling is not exactly the same (not bad either), the level of scratch protection that gives your phone is something to take into account. Especially with these expensive units and also if you want to sell it later on.

Cheers.

= J =
[Touch Cruise General] hamishmacdonald:
I received my anti-glare screen protector from Brando this morning. The quality is very good and the feel of it is nice, but... and this is a big but...

The screen protector refracts the light from the display, so it's all broken up into little multicoloured, glowy pixels.

Much as I want my Polaris's screen protected, there's no point paying all that money for the device only to have to look at the display through a cockeyed filter.

Darn.
[Touch Cruise General] christonge:
Cheers for that! I ordered 2 this morning. Will post again once I have them...
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
I ordered an anti-glare and an ultra-clear.

Considering your comments, should I use the ultra-Clear?
[Touch Cruise General] brrrt:
I wonder, why did you first order the things, and then asked for our help? Just curious :)
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
I received my Brando screenprotector. I bought the anti-glare one and it looks quite good! It seems to 'blur' (if you can call it that) the screen a tiny bit, but it still looks very good. It also does the 'anti-glare' thingy very good, it works very well in the car. Better than the standard one that comes with the Cruise imho. As I said the screen clarity is a bit less, so the anti-glare comes at a cost but at an angle now the screen looks much better.

Anyway, I also took some pictures and combined them. At the top you see the protector not yet on the Cruise. And below how it fits on the Cruise at the top. It fits the screen from bottom to top, and they made a cut-out for the camera and speaker. Quality of the pic is not too good, but I think it shows it quite well.

(click on image for bigger version)
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
To satisfy your curiousity, I didn't ask for help but for an advice :)

If the anti-glare should be that bad I could avoid using it.
[Touch Cruise General] reteb:
Thanks for the picture raptor, but the cut-out looks very crude as they have just cut out a whole section of the protector where the speaker and camera reside, rather than cutting holes in it, as with the standard TC supplied protector. It appears to ruin the rather neat, smooth and flat front of the TC.

I've purchased Brando screen protectors before and think they are normally really good quality. Out of the two types they supply I prefer the UltraClear as it really enhances the colour and definition of the screen. As you say, the standard protector is very good at anti-glare, but looses a lot of screen brightness and clarity.

Reteb
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
Thanks for the info. How does the Brando compare with the standard screen protector as far as picking up fingerprints is concerned?

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Correct, they kinda cut that part out and not just the correct holes. It's not that obvious though but it's very visible on the picture because of the flash and because I made the picture to show just that :). For me it doesn't ruin the front of the device at all.

It picks up less fingerprints. Or at least they are not that visible as the standard one. With the standard one I was constantly wiping the fingerprints off and now I don't :D.

Also the surface of the antiglare feels a little bit 'rough', a bit like paper. And when sliding a finger over the screen it's less likely the finger get's 'stuck' on the surface and seems to slide easier over the screen. This must be the result of the anti-glare material they use, nice side-effect.

All in all, a few dollars/euro's well spent if you ask me. I mean, for 9 or 10 dollars not much can go wrong eh :P
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Please post your comments here as soon as you receive it!!!
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Please explain this issue further. You say the surface is rougher - like paper. But you somehow link this property of the material to better sliding? My guess would be worse sliding - what is it exactly that you mean?

Thank you. By the way, I'm considering the Ultra Clear - for beter colors and less blur.
[Touch Cruise General] RaptorRVL:
Well on the surface of the standard protector (or on the Cruise without the protector) my finger usually has a lot of 'grip'. For some reason it doesn't have this on the Brando protector probably because of the anti-glare material. This makes sliding the finger more easy. A bit like moving your finger over a glass plate or a piece of paper. The paper will feel more 'dry' and doesn't give as much grip as the glass plate does.

It's not a big deal or anything, just something I noticed :)

[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
Nice find mate!:p
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
I ordered an anti-glare and an UltraClear.

I screwed up the anti-glare, despite cleaning, I saw some annoying stuff underneath and tried to remove that but damaged the glue of the anti-glare.

Fortunately, I ordered an UltraClear as well and managed to get it on the TC without any problems.

Difference with the original supplied HTC screen protector:

- Less sensitive with respect to fingerprints on the screen.

- Instead of cutting out the specific pieces for the leds and camera, it has cutted out that complete area (see picture of RaptorRVL) some postings earlier.

My Conclusion:

The UltraClear of Brando is less sensitive for fingerprints on the screen.

However, the cuts for leds and front camera covers an area instead of the specific cut outs.
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
One week and my order still has'nt arrived.:(
[Touch Cruise General] reyjabs:
Another variant of TC. No front facing camera?
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
Why not? Videocalls are not supported by the networks in many countries, so it's only logical to offer a version without a front camera for certain markets. As I see this is an asian version of the device.
