Because it's full screen is really hard to do it correctly. Right now I have iq shield which is basically the same but case friendly and really easy to install in less than 5 mins
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Will008:
Did anyone try this tempered glass screen protector from leditbe?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
I received my TG from Rhinoshield.

Fit perfectly with the screen. It's slightly curved. A little rainbow effect at the middle but only visible with direct light on the screen.

Reponse still good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cyberon:
Hi guys, mind giving your opinion on a nice flat tempered glass screen protector? I don't mind if it doesn't cover all the screen. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
Sample of the TG from Rhinoshield on Pixel 2XL panda.

Enjoy.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] arvylas:
seems nice. Does it have adhesive on the screen area or only under the black part?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
Only under the black part.

Still good, no issue
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bettz:
Right i've had enough of my current screen protector the rainbow effect in the middle is just getting bigger!!

Any recommendations? I'm from the UK
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Don't use one. I haven't since I gave a couple a try back in October or November of 2017 and they just don't fit well unless you go with the expensive dome ones. I'm not will to pay for that and my screen has no major scratches. Just very minimal micro ones that aren't noticeable at all with the screen on. They're even barely noticeable with the screen off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bettz:
I wouldn't dare risk it with no screen protector on as chances are something would happen to me.

The phones great its just such a shame nobody's made a decent screen protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
If you take care of your phone (keep it in a pocket by itself, never or hardly ever drop it, got a decent case on) you'll be fine. If you're clumsy or prone to break things, then okay get a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Will008:
[MENTION=4996575]Bettz[/MENTION] try this one, I had your problem with those edge only adhesive then I got this one. It is slightly narrower than the screen cause it doesn't go to the rounded edges but it's pretty good, hardly notice it and it's glass without any rainbow or weird ****.

I also learned this trick where if you get bubbles at the edges use cooking oil and it will disappear, worked on all tempered glass screen protectors so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bettz:
Is this available in the UK,can't find it on Amazon or eBay.

I took a gamble on the ultimateshield which was mentioned on here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Andrew_Smart:
What case would work with the whitestone dome glass please
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
You have an answer to the first time you posted this, please do not cross post in all forums, people will see your first post. Thank you! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Same here. But I pulled the trigger on the Griffin and they had 25%. Still waiting for it to ship. It purchased 2 and it was $52 with free shipping. Also got $5 cashback so in the end, it was $23.50 each.

If you have Verizon or know someone who does and they have a corporate discount from their employer, they should be getting 25% off accessories.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] libertao:
But I thought if I'm going caseless I have to have drop protection.

I guess I might go with the reverse -- just a case until most of the TGPSs and their reviews are out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Atnevon:
So during lunch I went by the Verizon store to look at screen. They had the Zagg Curved for an 8+ and a Verizon curved for the 2 XL. I noticed both had the dot-matrix pattern on them. (super gross-no for me. Being so detailed I love a clean look)

Can someone TL;DR of what is closest to the Orzly tempered I have on my 6P that will work on the XL 2? Are film back in for having protection versus tempered because of the curved glass?

I'm concerned the tempered are flat-only or curved and have to have the dot-matrix pattern in the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Even with a tempered glass on a caseless phone, its not going to offer much protection. The tempered glass is going to protect the screen from scratches, scuffs and sharp objects. Drop a phone without a case, your phones screen will still crack even with a tempered glass on. It all depends on how high, how hard and the angle.

That's not to say that with a case, it won't but it will offer a lot more protection from a fall.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
If you don't want dot matrix, flat is the way to go. All the curves that is available will probably have dot-matrix due to the curved screen. This may be the standard going forward for curved. I could be wrong as I haven't take a look at the Samsung phones with curved edges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] libertao:
Oh didn't realize that, I thought they crack and save the actual screen like a helmet.

I've yet to have an issue with just a TPU case, no tempered glass, I guess I'll just keep doing that. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Atnevon:
Glad you mentioned the dot-matrix. I found this Verge article when looking at the S8 for an example of the screen types.

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbre...axy-s8-invisibleshield-glass-screen-protector

In there they say the dot-matirx is bad. I'm starting to think that its not the way to go.

No matter what I'm getting a case. So do I go good film or flat and have a little gap. I have this combo for my 6P now:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B016ONT0RK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01637DS70/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like the Ringke a lot. I'm wondering now if a flat glass or a film would be best in the XL 2 case.

I had an old Droid 2 fall with a film protector on it (hell, still works :D ). The film held it together and made it still usable. Would a tempered glass in that case be what may have cracked, been removable, and then another placed on top?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Budwise:
Yep, you're just not going to get the invisible look you want from screen protectors as long as they use these curved screens. You'll have to go film based and live with the image degradation, or get used to the dot matrix and rainbows, or run naked. I went through this with the OP3T and kept hoping for ages that someone would make a proper TGSP and it never happened.

Also, any of them you find with the black borders most likely covers up a few pixels on the sides of the screen. You'll find certain websites and pages have text cut off and its extremely annoying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I personally went with flat. No dot-matrix but leaves a gap on the curved surface of the phone exposed. I'm OK with this because I'm putting a case on it and it will cover some of this exposed area.

I'm not screen protector guru but I'm mainly speaking on it from experience. I've been using and installing film screen protectors back in the days before tempered was even available. Depending on the film screen protectors, it may interfere with the case. It all depends on how much of the screen it covers. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell until you receive it or people have it in their hands and can give their feedback on it.

The film screen protector will keep any cracked glass in place and you won't get cut. If a tempered glass breaks, you can remove it and install another tempered glass. The purpose is like the film but made of thin glass. If your film got scratched or dirty, you can remove it and install a new one.

A cracked tempered will have little shards of glass and can be an eyesore but you can easily replace it unlike the screen on the phone itself which will cost your $200+ to repair/replace.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Yes, the tempered glass will crack first and protect the actual screen. But if it falls a certain way, both screens can crack. This is all assumption. It is a risk you'll have to decide if you want to take. Someone can drop their phone 10 times on concrete and not have a ding on their phone but someone can drop their phone a marble countertop and the screen cracks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I've got one being delivered tomorrow I think. My wife needed one.

You aren't the only one. If they were offering free replacements, or putting them on for you, maybe, but otherwise, hell no.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DHM078:
Shame the flat glass ones are going to take a while to ship. I'm going to go with one of the films in the meantime, this phone is way too expensive for me to want to carry it around unprotected. I feel like the film not being glass will bother me much less than touch sensitivity issues with dot matrix glass. Won't be trying a curved glass one unless one ends up with trustworthy positive reviews.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Let us know if its dot matrix
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Just got an email back from iCarez. They have one of the best systems for placing the protector in my opinion, and the best protector I found for the 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
Agreed. Just this week I put one of their tempered glass protectors on my LG V30. The tabs at the top and bottom make it very easy to install properly. However, I wanted to make sure I had a full coverage protector in my possession for when the phone arrives. So I went with the amfilm one. Hopefully it's a good one. If not, it will hold me over until the iCarez one is released.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] lightfire:
My Pixel 2 XL is supposed to arrive next week. A bit confused about these screen protectors. Apparently I don't think I will like the curved ones. If I go with a straight TPU silicone case, will a flat protector still leave a gap? Wi

ll the curved ones even work with the TPU silicone cases?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
There will be a slight gap between the protector and case regardless of what brands you get. This is so that there is no compatibility issues. This is no different than any phone with curved glass using a flat screen protector. I'm sure even curved glass screen protectors will have a gap.

If there was no gap, you'll run into issues with the case lifting up the protector.

There are curved screen protectors that are case friendly. You need to read the description to see if it's edge to edge protection and look at the pictures to gauge.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I've got that one in hand now so SOMETHING is on the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] coolsilver:
I really like Spigen Film protectors. I've had nothing but hell with their tempered glass ones in past with edge chipping and corner edge adhesion. Both issues that irritate me and just want to replace it even though it's fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Itachisasuke:
I probably should have done some reading first but my amFilm Dot Matrix Screen Protector Showed up today but my phone isn't due to ship until November 20th so I have some time to pick something else up if these tempered glass screen protectors end up a bust. I was planning on running it with the Spigen Liquid Crystal or PowerSupport Air Jacket Cases.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pooganes:
Can someone tell me why heroshield is no longer available? I try to contact by email for days but get no answer. I have used SgFreshidea glasses exclusively based on loca. But these have lost their quality over time. There are either bubbles under the glass or it cracks without a drop or something.

Greetz
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ECrispy:
Just ordered a Pixel 2 XL (used). Can someone recommend me a good case and screen protector (TG, film, whatever is good) for ~$5 each shipped? I don't have a lot of money to spend. There a few $3.99 protectors and cheap cases on ebay but I'm not sure what's good.

Looking for not too much bulk and good protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] matekaneve:
I'm using THIS screen protector. It's cheap, covers the whole screen, even the curved edges and stays on. I have this on for about 8 month now and hasn't peeled off at all. I'm also using a cheap ultra thin tpu gel case on the phone, but that just clearly for the better grip. This device is sooo slippery.... :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ECrispy:
Have been looking for >2 days now and it seems every good review is matched by bad review and the only one everyone can agree on is a $50 screen protector which is a ridiculous price :eek:

e.g. I read a bunch of good things about IQShield here, yet on Amazon the reviews are totally opposite!

Are tempered glass not good for curved screen phones?

Is wet apply method good or bad?

What is orange peel and dot matrix effect? Which types of protector does it apply to?

I swear buying a phone was an easier decision !!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ilal2ielli:
All screen protectors have issues, even the Whitestone Dome or InvisShield, which are both LOCA applied protectors.

Orange peel applies to wet film applied screen protectors. The film can sometimes look like the skin of an orange (orange peel).

Dot matrix applies to cheaper screen protectors that have a dot matrix film applied to a layer of the tempered glass protectors that only have adhesive on the edges. It helps transmit the touches to the screen of the phone to create less touch issues since adhesive is not applied to the entire protector. These edge adhesive screen protectors are also easy to pop off the phone, they can come off with a drop and then your screen is completely bare and susceptible to damage.

Dot matrix protectors also have the rainbow effect that is similar to a glare under certain viewing angles.

The only way to know if these things bother you is the buy these cheaper screen protectors.

Whitestone Dome and InvisShield LOCA applied tempered glass screen protectors have issues with ease of application and eventual cracking around the corners of the screen protector. I've gone through two Whitestone Domes and one InvisShield over the course of having my phone since release.

I couldn't handle the cheaper protectors negatives, so I invested in the Whitestone Done and InvisShield protectors. Even with the amount I've spent on warranty replacement on Whitestone and the few InvisShield protectors, it's still cheaper than having to go to a repair shop to replace the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ECrispy:
Thanks. Based on your last para, sounds like you are more concerned with the screen protector preventing a crack? I'm not even sure I trust any of thse to do that, that's a job for the case isn't it? I guess I'll take my chances with a cheap one then, no point spending $50 even if I could afford it.

Would you recommend wet shield film that covers full glass (IQShield) or tempered glass that doesn't? I understand neither is perfect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ilal2ielli:
A case wouldn't protect against a drop to the screen. If you're only concerned about scratches to the screen then any cheap screen protector will do for you.

By having a full adhesive tempered glass protector like a Whitestone or InvisShield, you lower the likelihood of the screen becoming damaged from a drop because of the buffer it adds.

I would choose a wet film protector over an edge adhesive tempered glass protector if those were my options.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ECrispy:
How do you tell which one is edge adhesive vs full, or which has dot matrix?

e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Scratch-Prevention-Application-Anti-Bubble-Compatible/dp/B07MF2QX7P

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-G-Color-Friendly-Anti-Scratch-Anti-Bubble/dp/B07C1KZH7K
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ilal2ielli:
I don't think you understood my first post all that well. Dot matrix is used on edge adhesive protectors because of the lack of full coverage of the adhesive for the entire glass.

Anything with a black border is edge adhesive, as the black border hides the adhesive along the edges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AdhityaDhruv:
My friend is a big google fan, He got pixel 2 and applied gadgetshieldz protector on it. He said the quality is good and no issues. Does anyone tried their screen protector.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delintg2:
Hello there pals, I have a problem, I have an Lg H815P (Mexico Version), and i was using it normally for about 15 days, then suddenly the home screen freezed, and then the phone restarted, i thougt it was just a lagging issue, but then, when the phone booted up again, after like 5 secs it freezed up again and restart, a infinte loop, then i said, this Rom must be corrupted (Stock TELCEL Rom v20b Android MM), and decided to do a hardware keys factory reset, then the phone restarted but when it was android upgrading apps, it kept restarting, at last it booted up but the problem persist. So im kinda worried, how a problem cant be fixed at a full hard reset? When im trying to flash a KDZ file From lg flash tool, the program fails because cant find phone, a kinda weird thing because the adb detects it sometimes, others not, i booted the phone in safe mode and the problem persist anyway, what can I do? I already have the drivers, the lg up, and the lg bridge apps, they all said that im running the last software for my mobile device, i´ve tried another battery as well, so im kinda lost, another thing, after the hard reset, the phone was able to stay on like 15 mins, sometimes 5, sometimes just secs, dunno what is happening but i really need some ideas, can you help me to work this out?

Greetings pals!:confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
I have had this problem occur because of the launcher. Try cleaning the cache and data and see whether an updated version is available. You could also try a 3rd party one and see if that helps or simply re-install the LG launcher.

If no luck, you could try flashing another kdz with LGUP-NEW: https://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803

There are a couple of TCL kdz's listed on this site: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h815p-firmwares/

Scroll sown to LG H815P Firmware List.

Back up everything first.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delintg2:
Ty pal, I´ve tried with nova launcher, but no dice, still restarting, perhaps because i cant disable lg launcher from apps menu, actually i´ve been trying with flashtool and kdz files but i think the program doesnt recognize phone, cuz it show the message in lg mobile support tool: error required info cannot be found, contact administrator. I have the drivers, the pc in download mode and connected to pc, full charged, what else im missing?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
seems to me that you got the bootloop.

send it to repair if warranty.. if not try LG mexico.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Make sure you are using the correct LG Mobile Driver on your PC: LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0

If you are using the drivers your PC installs, you will have issues. Check in Device Manager on your PC.

Use LGUP-NEW to install a kdz.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delintg2:
I found the correct drivers and installed a DLL for lg up, so the program now detects my phone, the problem is that i install as Refurbish the same version that i was running, the h815p v20a, but when it finishes it says rebooting, but in the device is boot looped at lg logo and powered by android, the phne used to boot and show desktop, now is bootlooped, what else can I do to make him boot?

Cheers buddies
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
If the phone is still recognized on your PC, see if you can get into download mode. If you can, try re-installing the KDZ from there. Make double sure it is the same kdz that was installed on your phone when it worked.

The other option is to see if you can get into recovery mode and try a factory reset.

It is possible that the freezing you were experiencing before when it booted up was, as raptordd suggested above in post #4, an early sign of the hardware bootloop issue that has now manifested fully. The only real option then is to send it in to LG for repair and tell them your phone, you believe, has developed the hardware bootloop issue. Even if out of official warranty, they should replace the motherboard in that case, at no cost to you.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delintg2:
Now that u mention that, the phone was recognized by pc, but i installed a lot of kdzs, and none of them made the phone boot, every one of them were for h815p v20a, the one that was installed, but now i connect it to pc and then says download mode but doesnt enter and then the lg logo appears again, even the charge is meesed up now, i think i screwed the download mode and the charge mode, is that possible? but i tried the factory reset when i had the working firmware but the problem persists. Now im thinkin my only option is to use a octoplus box to revive it, but dunno if that will fix the restart problem, about that warranty stuff, i can send it to lg mexico and they should change my motherboard for free? That sound too good to be true.

Salute! pals
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
See if you can enter recovery using the hardware buttons and try executing it again.

LG has been replacing motherboards in a lot of cases where the issue is attributable to their own hardware issue (ILAPO). You don't really want to discuss the things you have done to get it working again with them ... if you get my drift, i.e., play dumb ...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delintg2:
Ok if none of the baove works, ill do that, but no, it has no recovery neither, not even stock, i read about a bootloader way to fix the download mode, im gonna try that but i doubt i can cuz bootloader is factory locked cuz is latin version.

No luck at all, phone is still bricked, is there any way to flash stuff via bootloader or abd without bootloader unlocked or root?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] bbylegs:
Hi all,

i got a quick question.

I recently got my Honor 9 (STF-L09) and tried to get the linage rom to work.

In the process i wiped /vendor with TWRP. (without backing up the original)

I tried to flash the provided vendor.zip which resulted in the Following Error:

[COLOR="Red"]Zip file is corrupt![/COLOR]

which i "solved" by extracting the .img and exectuting the following command in the shell:

dd if=/sdcard/TWRP/vendor.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor_a

now if i try flashing the linage.zip i get the following Error:

E3004: This package is for device: hi3660,stf; this device is duk.
[COLOR="red"]Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
.[/COLOR]

Q: Is there a way to get this fixed or at least go back?

any help would be appreciated.

If you can still enter Fastboot and TWRP you could try flashing the original ROM with this. In the update packages is also a vendor.img which you could extract with the Huawei Update Extractor.
