hey can you tell me how you peeled the plastic cover off?? fingernails, exacto knife? mine has the smallest nick in it and it bugs the crap out of me. I also cant get any glass protectors to stick to the plastic
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] mr turtle droid:
In my case the small sliver near the fingerprint scanner was popping up so I grabbed it and yanked away..you need to be EXTREMELY careful with this lcd as it is flexible and can be pulled away from the phone with how glued down it is..I made the stupid mistake of just yanking on the plastic and almost pulled my lcd out from the phone.be slow when pulling it and you'll be fine
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] byt3b0mb:
have you thought about using loca glue to put the tempered glass protector over the screen now that you have removed the top plastic layer?
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Some_Donkus:
After 3 weeks of use, I'll say that my SuperShieldz works great as a protector. Perfect fit, still no scratches, certainly no sign that it might break.

On the other side of the coin, the SuperShieldz is the exact opposite of oleophobic. Damn thang is oleocentric. I mean if I even think about touching the screen, it smudges. With the screen on, you would never notice, but I certainly wouldn't use a pattern screen lock with. (Fortunately the fingerprint sensor is so great, what would want to anyways?)

Also, why are you concerned about putting tempered glass on a "shatter proof" phone? Is there a cautionary tale with this? Or, you just don't see the necessity? Even if it wasn't necessary, I would use the tempered glass just because it's so much easier to install Bubble free (in my experience).
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] malimal:
Agree with his SS assessment 100%. Looks good, but finger print magnet..
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] sternum_boy:
So I got this pack from SuperShieldz https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072M7WH6N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the wife managed to have several cracks and chips in the screen protector in a week. She just put on a second one and notices that there were actually a few scratches on the screen under the places where the protector had cracked.

She tends to drop her phone a lot and although she has only ever broken one phone screen, having the shatterproof display was actually a huge selling point for this phone.

Has anyone found a good plastic screen protector? She is going to go through the glass protectors in about a week or two.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] 3's&7's:
Mine is holding up perfectly. I'm using a Tech 21 impact mesh case (d30) and it's a great pairing. The Verizon screen protector was easy to install, and feels more film/plasticky to the touch. It's a good pairing with the z2f's screen + preinstalled film on top of that.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Amd4life:
Latest Omoton t.glass (from Amazon) works perfect. Pretty large opening at the top, but it adheres with no bubbles at the bottom of the screen
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] stimps403:
Been using the Spigen glass screen protector for a while and it works great. It covers the entire top section with perfect cut outs. No bubbles or Halo.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] PittAussie:
Does the Omoton glass have rounded edges?

I use the fingerprint control function instead of on-screen buttons, so I need a screen protector that does not interfere with sliding my finger back and forth over the fingerprint sensor.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] sounreal:
Did you find one that works for you yet?
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] charlatan01:
I bought this one as well, and it's a very nice protector. Feel is great and install was easy. I was using glass but I had the issue with them not sticking at the bottom of the device.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] wrenchman76:
As far as finding a good plastic screen protector. Yes. I've had nothing but problems with the glass ones on this phone. I love glass screen protectors and have used them on every phone I've ever had. But I just can't get them to seal on the bottom of this screen. So I tried something different. The IQ shield LIQuid Shield. Goes on like window tint. It's a film. You wet it, put it on, you can slide it around and line it up, then you squeegee the water and air out. Love it on this phone. Went on easy, and the first one I found that fits the screen perfect with no air bubbles. The only downfall of it is the waiting period. You need to put it on before you go to bed so it can sit at the least over night to dry.

I see that a couple people on here also recommended the Aquashield screen protector. It looks identical to this one, a film you put on wet, so I'm sure that one is a great option as well
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] taphius:
Yeap, have the Omoton on mine as well. Super thin so it adheres even on an uneven surface, a few other brands left the huge bubble on the bottom right side that seems to be the trend.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] PittAussie:
Yes, I am also happy with the Omoton glass. Applies cleanly even though my phone had quite a lot of scratches to the shatter shield. I only have 3 tiny dots (<1/32") where it appears there was either a deep mark on the screen or I missed a bit of dust.

It adhered completely around the fingerprint reader with no bubbles. I deliberately placed the glass as close to the top of the phone as I could to avoid issues with the raised edge around the fingerprint reader. That tip may help others to get protectors to apply better.

I am happy to report it doesn't seem to interfere with the ability to use the fingerprint reader for navigation. You can notice the lip, but it is not uncomfortable, and the edges are rounded, so your finger still glides easily left and right.

Overall I am very pleased with it.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Some_Donkus:
Update: I with good news for those of you using the same SuperShieldz protector. I broke my first SuperShieldz protector a few days ago. It did exactly what it was supposed to. My phone was completely undamaged thanks to the SS protector absorbing all the force and shattering. No splintering of the broken protector, either. Easy removal and the new one went on just as easy as the first.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] wooddale:
I have both the z force and z3 force. The ones that come on the phone are just for shipping you have to take them off. The reason why the screens are unbreakable is because they are plastic and plastic scratches easily but it doesn't break. I had a glass protector on my z force dropped it screen protector broke but it also left a small dent in the screen but didn't break. So no matter what you do it's not bullet proof.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] X_man.:
I was having problems with air bubbles near the corners of my screen if the protector wasn't positioned absolutely perfect. I tried several brands. Then the other day I found these. It went on perfect! Better than any protector I've ever used on any phone. And its full coverage. The edges are rounded nicely too. Plus the ends are black so even if there are air bubbles near the corner you cant tell LOL
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bbergin76:
I am using this same protector. No issues putting it on and haven't had any issues over the 2 months it's been on.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] X_man.:
Its dang near perfect imo. I didn't even have to push any bubbles out. It just went right on perfectly. And the black on the ends give it a really nice sleek look. Looks more like part of the phone than most screen protectors :D
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bbergin76:
Same here. I was shocked with how easy it went on and not having to work out bubbles.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] JAWheat411:
I am using the same ones. They work great.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] kur0g4ne:
Glare

Some reviews say that since the transparent portion of the screen doesn't have any adhesive (for the sake of not having bubbles) it adds up some glare to the screen and makes reflections more visible.

How true is that from your experience? mine arrives tomorrow, but i want to know what to expect in that regard.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] blake .l:
I use the Spigen glass protectors, perfect fit w/ no bubbles..
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] X_man.:
I honestly didn't realize that it didn't have glue in the middle I thought mine did LOL but mine looks beautiful. It looks a lot more like an actual part of the phone than most screen protectors. I have no problems with excess glare at all. If anything I think it cuts glare. But one of the best things I think are the rounded edges of the glass. Because some of the other screen protectors that I have tried we're pretty rough around the edges where the fingerprint sensor is and I use the one hand navigation with the swipes so that makes a big difference to me.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] kur0g4ne:
I installed it yesterday, and it's been amazing so far, no glare at all, mine has a rough edge on one side of the fps but it's not a big deal, I've also noticed that the clear portion has some kind of grid of tiny dots, I'm thinking they are to keep touch sensitiveness on point, and they are only visible on direct sunlight it's a perfect combo with a proper bumper case which allows to use the mods.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Dsmwookie:
My supershieldz had definitely impacted my touch sensitivity.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] RobsTV:
Supershieldz went on easy and looks great, at first. But then I used it in car mount. Horrid, not viewable due to fingerprints and extreme glare (job requires that I need to swipe it frequently, but never text, and mostly when parked). It also has slight rainbow effect, but that did not affect anything negatively. Even with max brightness and high contrast enabled, useless for driving with sun at certain positions for a few hours. Because the phone worked fine in car mount before Supershieldz, anti-glare or fingerprint reduction was not a requirement. Just wanted scratch protection when tossed into pocket. The Supershieldz added those issues that do not exist without it.

I am about ready to take my chances with no screen protector. Never used one in 20 years, never any issues, but never this type of soft screen. Only concerned about occasional placement in pocket, with nothing else in pants pocket.

But still might try IQ Shield LiQuidSkin after I do some more research. Anyone here switch from one to the other or can report on glare?

Now to google how to remove this.

EDIT: Wow, the Supershieldz comes off as cleanly and easily as it went on. Just slowly running fingernail around edge and it came off clean, no cracks.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] sawdin:
Does the Z2 Force have a raised edge to protect the front panel, or do you need to purchase an aftermarket case that has raised edges?

Do any of the Moto Mods have raised edges so you can set the phone display down and not have any contact with the display?

TIA

PS...Nice thread!
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] cyborgLIS:
I just purchased the Supershieldz as well. i figured for $8 I'd give it a shot. I saw there was an "updated" version but not sure what the advantage is, so went with the original since it has more coverage at the top. So there's no real threat of scratching the screen during removal? I was worried about having to apply or remove any protector for this phone since it scratches so easily.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] crcostel:
Film Protector

Just bought a Z2F and given the screen issues reported will try a protector with it. I think a film (vs glass) is the best option.

Between

- IQ Shield

- Armorsuit

- Supershieldz

- Deltashield

- Aquashield

What do people recommend, or should I just get an Otterbox?

Thanks
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] TigerCourage:
Here's how AirGlass looks on the Z2 Force. I think they should partner with Motorola to include an extra layer of this on top. The touch is just like glass but it's slim like a plastic protector. Also it doesn't leave fingerprints.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] allrightlite:
On my new Z2 Force was a foil protector out of the box and there are no scratches until today after 4 weeks. You should keep this foil protector on the screen, so you are keep protected. I think many people put this foil away and then the platsic is open and easy scratched.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] robertzas:
I have the supershieldz on two of mine, not sure what anyone is talking about with the glare/rainbow/touch issues/whatever. I def saw there was no glue in the middle, but it seems to have no adverse affects, except the screen might be a little softer then I am used to, which could just be the plastic screen underneath. Seems to work fine with the tpu cases from amazon.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] wooddale:
You can see it a bit but if your a fanatic not that bad.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] doubledragon5:
I use Otter Box Defender, without any additional screen protection.. I have no issues at all. Well only issue, in my job I need to take it out of the case at least once a week, and clean out the dust that does manage to get inside.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] AlpineMan:
I passed on the Supershieldz due to the residue that the black sticky stuff it leaves behind. Amazon 1-star reviews have photos of this from those who had to remove the protector when it cracked.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bbergin76:
Never had an issue with sticky residue.

My issue is I've had 4 of them shatter on me now. I bought them as a two pack and when both of those shattered in less than 6 months they sent me a free replacement 2 pack. Now both of those have shattered so I'm on to looking for something else to use.

All 4 have cracked from being in my pocket and not from being dropped.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] wooddale:
Never had a problem with them on Z2 but I did have it on Pixel 2XL same deal never dropped always in pouch thought it might be pouch. Bought different brand sold the phone with it on.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bbergin76:
Always spiders away from the left hole or ear hole.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] fishyx:
I'm thinking about ordering the Omoton. Any thoughts on which tempered glass protector has the best oleophobic coating??
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] theandies:
I get my Z2 on Christmas and I'm going with Skinonmi's wet applied plastic screen protector. I've tired many different brands in the past on my phones and tablets and I always go back to Skknonmi as they are the only one the I can get to go on without bubbles and they last. I'm not considering a glass protector as I have a tendency to shatter them in a few days or weeks plus I would think it would scratch the Shattershield when it breaks or when you have to peel it off.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] fishyx:
Received and installed on a brand new Z2. Went on perfectly and has a good coating on it. Works well with thick lipped cases like the Under Armour I'm using.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] riskyfuture:
Just got Mr shield from Amazon and I can say looks good on the z2 force not one bubble and has applied it's self to all of the screen. Best out of the 5 I've tried so far. https://www.amazon.com/Shield-Motorola-Full-Cover-Protector-Replacement/dp/B071WY5KLM it's not the one that's in the picture that you actually get, I'll take a picture of one when I get home.

Hi All,

I followed the "new" instructions for updating my Prophet to WM6, but now I'm stuck at the boot loader with this info showing:

IPL 1.00

SPL 2.13

Nothing else is displayed, except for the "USB" text at the bottom (which just indicates that it's connected via usb, right?)

I suspect that "HardSPL" step did not work correctly. But it seems that there's no way now to re-try that step, because I can no longer connected to ActiveSync.

If I just try re-flashing the new WM6 ROM, it seems to complete successfully, but I'm just returned to the boot loader again. Hard resetting does nothing.

Any ideas, advice on what to try next?

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what is F-Droid and MicroG? And what does it do?
[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] xda_borj:
F-Droid is a software repository (or "app store") for Android applications, similar to the Google Play store. The main repository, hosted by the project, contains only apps that are free and open-source software. Applications can be browsed and installed from the F-Droid website or client app without the need to register for an account. "Anti-features" such as advertising, user tracking, or dependence on non-free software are flagged in app descriptions. The website also offers the source code of applications it hosts, as well as the software running the F-Droid server, allowing anyone to set up their own app repository.

Is this possible? Wondering whether I can flash the international CSC of the 7...?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] iraqgsm:
I will back that. Anything other than korean please will be great
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
i thought about doing the same thing, but the Note 7 uses an omc folder vs. csc on the Note FE. i wanted to play it safe so i cherry picked features from the AT&T csc used on the AT7T S8. i combined the cscfeature.xml and the cscfeature_network.xml in to one file named others.xml, which is what the Note FE uses. i backed up the stock others.xml and the customer.xml and copied my version of the others.xml and the customer.xml from AT&T csc to system/csc. i also extracted the SmartCallProvider folder from an S8 ROM and copied to the system/app folder. as always, you'll need to set the proper permissions on the copied folders and underlying files. i wouldn't recommend using my approach....don't know what issues might arise and i have a second device incase the FE has issues. just wanted to share my observations.

after making the above changes,

pressing 1 on the Samsung Dialer dialed my voicemail; since i use google voice, adding my number with the stock dialer didn't work

i can now access the call forwarding features and enter my google voice number

i know have the ability to identify unknown numbers - Caller ID and spam protection (although i don't know if it works)

and most importantly (for me), the "Places" tab is now available on the Samsung Dialer so i can search for places when i travel

the only thing that's not working is Voicemail notification for my primary number.

[MENTION=2727838]iraqgsm[/MENTION], if you are asking if you can make changes similar to what i did (in post #3) without root, the answer is no you can't. root is required because you are making changes to files in the system partition. :)

You can't use the CSC from Note 7 because they changed the way it works with the S8 TouchWiz which the FE has, although you can easily port the S8 or Note 8 CSC to the Note FE and should be able to use it no problems.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr_driver:
Hi all

I have to answer yes to this, but after a return to LG via my ebay seller (with the phone being under a year old) within the last month, I had the phone come back in working condition.

I've since upgraded to the latest official supported version of the OS, (7.0) (V30b-TWN-XX) and now... the back camera doesn't work.

Has anyone had this happen yet? It is kind of mentioned here though. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73107988&postcount=6

I went crazy thinking that the battery had broken it, that I went and bought a new camera module.

I'm thinking it's software related and that they forgot to include the camera module driver in the OS build. I could be wrong...

But the other frustrating thing is that now the phone screams that the battery is not an LG battery - which it certainly is (still the original) when I restart the phone.

I love this phone, but the issues are driving me crazy that I'm even considering going to the dark side.

Ta.
