Has anyone had any experience with any of the following insurance/warranty companies: Worth Ave Group, Upsie, Square Trade? When it's time to make a claim, do they honor their policies? I don't trust any of the reviews I can find, positive or negative. Worth Ave is compelling because they claim to offer loss/theft protection, the others do not. I've never lost a phone and I know that stealing phones these days doesn't result in a payoff for the thief, but thieves probably don't know that. It'd be nice to be protected just in case. I'm feeling vulnerable, not yet protected by a tempered glass screen protector or Samsung Premium Care, lol!

Hi All,

I'm running a special event around mobile and wireless development in London, UK at the start of April (4th-5th).

Its called "Over the Air" and has a tag line of 48 hours of mobile development. So basically its a chance to spend a weekend learning, experimenting and hacking around with mobile and wireless devices.

I'm already expecting lots of iphone, linux, java, symbian and even adrioid hackers to turn up but whats missing is the XDA/WM community. Hence it would be great if any of you can make it and show off some of the simply stunning things your doing with HTC hardware.

The event is completely free and will take place at Imperial College in Central London, UK. We have discount hotel places for those who are coming from far and already BBC mobile, BBC Backstage, Momo Monday and Vodafone are onboard. We talking to many different companies about running sessions and sponsorship of free data simcards for the 2 days.

So I hope to see some of you there...

If you need any more information or would like to sponsor the event please contact me off list
[General Topics] rorydaredkign:
is it open to anyone?

I know pretty much all there is to know about the devices, but next to nothing about developing, so is it more aimed at developers, or can the normal guys who love their ppc's come along?

Rory
[General Topics] cubicgarden:
Over the Air

Short answer: Yes come along

Long answer: So Over the Air is yes aimed more at the developer community because there is also a developer competition on the last day. But we are really open to people who want to learn or want to learn how to take advantage of their mobile phones or check out the latest in wireless devices. Its 2 days back to back including sleep over or over night hacking. So you may just want to come over for the day tutorials and the competition results on the 2nd day.

Hi all ... New here and am looking to write some apps for the Joying head unit. I was hoping there might be a documented api that would allow the app I write to turn power on and off to the various leads such as antenna and amp leads. The built in car setting app allows this so im hopeful that there's a way for a custom app to do the same

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Parvinder25:
I had been using Android till last year (mostly Nexus devices) and it was last year when i decided to try out the IPhone 7 plus. Overall, IP7P is a good device, stable OS and nice performance but I didn't like the way i was tied in the closed OS, not being able to use some of my fav apps and how my cloud storage is so limited on iOS.

So, i pre-ordered Pixel 2 XL 128 on launch day and expecting on Oct 25th. I am still susceptible of the change, mostly because of looks of new Pixel. My primary reason is software but then shall i wait for Pixel 3 or will my decision to jump prove worthy?

Anyone else in the same boat as me?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
It's subjective and we can't decide whether you'll like the device or not, but it's a pretty good upgrade hardware wise.

You'll get a better (the best) camera, screen, and front facing dual speakers. Like the iPhone it lacks a headphone jack though.

It's the phone to get if you want the best android experience, so I'm sure you'll like the software if you've used android before.

The only way to know for sure is to have the device in your hands and decide on your own. Return it if it's not for you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SquallLHeart:
not in the same boat.. but i broke my normal upgrade cycle for this phone too.

it's mostly the software experience that drew me in the most
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Parvinder25:
Thanks for the support. I was really looking some push from folks to enable this change. Yes, my primary reason is pure android experience that I will get on Pixel. Also, since i was full time android user since years but been on iOS for last one year, I mostly used Google apps and very closed tied with them, so I am essentially using more Google apps on iOS than any Apple specific apps.

Camera is definitely one of the plus points on Pixel. I really didn't care abt the 3.5mm jack removal on IP7 since I mostly use bluetooth for music.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
If you want the best pure android experience than yes. But i have never seen an incentive for i devices.. to much control for me .. the drawer feature alone makes android worth it..

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YankInDaSouth:
Not in the same exact position, but similar ...

Had Android since 2009 and switched to the iPhone 7 Plus last year as well. Like you I enjoyed the stability, fluidity but after I while I began to miss Android and got bored with iOS and it's restrictive ways. So, I grabbed a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. Solid device all around except for software updates! iOS had gotten me spoiled to instant availability of updates as soon as they were announced. So, waiting for Sammy to get me Oreo irked me and I pre-ordered the Pixel XL 2! Now I can get my Android and prompt updates [emoji4]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Parvinder25:
That's the reason I always go with Google phones. It gets you pure Android experience and instant updates. And after using iOS for one year, I'm super impatient for my pixel 2 xl. Can't wait to get out of this closed system.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bkdodger:
Good to see my peeps on here ...typing away on a Moto Z play till my 2 XL arrives ..I will be keeping my iPhone hopefully the new one when it releases and I'm super excited to be coming back to Google stock..enjoyed my S8+ as well but nothing like getting updates and smoothness of stock has me back on the wild side haha

My wife has an ip7p, it's a nice phone but would never be a replacement for my Pixel. Too many reasons to start on. If you prefer the iphone that's ok but for me no competition. Not even an option..

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] New Rising:
I have a iPhone 7 plus too, can't decide if I should sell it and order the xl 2. The 7 plus is a good phone with great battery life. After seeing the pixel XL 2 in person I'm undecided.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jooosty:
Can confirm the front speakers on the 2XL are not as good as the iPhone stereo set up.

Kind of disappointed. But hey at least they are front firing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Parvinder25:
Well, I was also undecided until I checked the xl 2 today. Very fluid and the display is far better than iPhone 7 plus. I checked few YouTube vids and it sounded great. Camera captured few great pics. Recorded a slow Mo video as well.

Overall I'm impressed and waiting for Oct 25th. View attachment 4302917

Edit: forgot to add that it felt lot lighter than my iPhone 7 plus and they are almost there same size.

Not an iPhone user. Never have been. But u said you used to be a nexus guy, so you will LOOOOVE this phone, Well, hopefully. Looking back all my nexus were great, but pixel really did take it to a new level.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
Honestly, if you're on this forum, or any xda forum for that matter, asking about if Android is better than Apple...you're in the wrong place! Seriously. Nobody can sway somebody into the differences....because there are too many to even comprehend. This discussion is like asking if somebody should run Linux or Windows. SMH. Use each phone and find out for yourself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Parvinder25:
Well yes. It totally makes sense but I'm coming from one full year of iOS usage, I was totally getting sunk into iOS and was totally happy with it until I used pixel. As much as I like my iPhone, I still feel Android has much more to offer than iPhone. It gives you freedom to do what you want. Overall I'm quite excited to move to Android.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
I used the iPhone 7+ for probably half a year, loved the battery life but like everyone said you just get tired of not being able to customize. The app drawer was the biggest complaint for me because I like minimal things on my homepage and it drove me nuts having all icons on my homescreen whether they were in a folder or not. I can honestly say I havent had an Android phone have as good of battery as my iPhone but to me its still worth the switch. I'm in between the V30 and Pixel 2 XL. Got the v30 currently and have my 2XL on order for the 25th. I like the updates but not a huge fan of the way the pixel 2 xl looks. so we will see what I end up with.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] ptexas:
Hi

after 4 years I wanted to replace my puny Hyunday car radio with something more versatile and powerful. My two main requirements were integrated DAB+ and Navigation. So I ordered a 7" Klyde KD-7022 HU with a 8 Core A53, 1.6GHz, 32G ROM, 2G RAM and all the bells and whistles I could get. Beside DAB+ and Navigation I ordered Dashcam, Rear Cam, OBD2 and 4G Stick. Everything arrived and it took some time to build all components in my car. Now after some modifications on brackets and cables all is installed and almost everything works. Altough the DAB+ app looks awful and the iGo Navigation doesen't satisfy me 100% I'm quite happy with the result.

Now I still have issues with the 4G Stick which claims 'SIM card removed' every time I start the car. After a reboot the stick works as Wifi Router. But I cannot establish the connection via USB cable. I only get the Wifi signalstrength display. I don't get a 3G/4G signalstrength displayed. Internet connection is established via Wifi. Has anybody made the same experience and has a tip for me? I read something about the app 'PPP Widget' which should help. But this widget needs root access which leads me to the second issue.

I haven't yet found a rooting method which works on my Head Unit. I'm quite experienced with rooting handys and tablets but with car radios I'm a newbie. How do I enter recovery mode? Do I need ADB connection or can the device be rooted via app? Has anyone successfully rooted a PX5 with Android 6.0.1? I would be glad for any hint or link.

Thanks for all answers. They are very welcome

Thanks

I just received my IMAK glass screen protector. Purchased this on AliExpress. Here are some photos of it and how I installed it. I used the 3 stickers to make a hinge after it's positioned correctly. That way I just have to remove the backing and then stick it. I'll just seperate my review into pros and cons.

Pros:

-The screen protector fits nicely. I chose this one because it has the little speaker cut out on top.

-It feels good because it is glass.

-It protects the screen well because it is glass.

Cons:

-It is glass so it has some thickness to it.

-Holds fingerprints more than screen itself

-It has a little orange peel so it's not crystal clear. You can see in the picture of the reflection of the light that it looks a little muddy instead of mirror like.

Overall, it's good for the price, but not perfect. Personally I'm back and forth between glass and film screen protectors. I'll give this a try for a few weeks and then make a final decision.

Those guiding stickers are ingenious, never seen them before and the idea is just so simple and clever!!

Perfect, I know what I have to do when my phone and Nillkin protector arrive.

Thanks for sharing.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] x5-rwk:
That is a lot nicer than the Riffue Tempered Glass screen protector I bought on Amazon. This one is thin and has a good height but is several mm too narrow, it doesn't even cover the LCD display let alone the entire screen/glass.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] ShadyGame:
the one i order covers like half of the screen lmao wtf

just ordered one like yours.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] FSB:
I had one similar too this, but the dust collected over front camera under the glass.

It has some glue on it, does this IMAK one used static?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] dewingerd:
Here is a link to the one i bought.

I tried many different ones but for me this is the best.

The coating is very good against fingerprints. It fits perfect on the screen.

The sides of the screen are a little bit curved down which is good for the dust.

I agree, this is the best screenprotector i have ever bought. It fits perfect and the coating feels the same as on the original screen :good::good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Zedramus:
Just wanted to echo everyone else about how great the Imak full coverage screen protector is. I went through four different screen protectors so far (unknown brand thin plastic one, MOFI tempered glass, another MOFI tempered glass, and finally the IMAK full coverage)

The thin plastic one came bundled with the phone and would scratch if you so much as raised your voice at it. Placed it on just as a temporary protector while waiting for the others to come from Aliexpress. It just barely covered the display and left about 1.5mm of space on the edges. The phone was accidentally smacked out of my hand once and landed on a sandy floor face down, which I later discovered upon removal of the screen protector had caused a small chip on the screen near the edge, so the protector might have absorbed some of the impact.

The first MOFI tempered glass I got was a "full coverage" one, but it arrived with notches cut out on the bottom where the proximity sensor and front camera are. The worst thing about this one was that it only had adhesive on the edges, so there was a really distracting and noticeable rainbow effect (newton rings) in the middle of the screen.

The second MOFI tempered glass was also full coverage, and this time it didn't have notches at the bottom, just a hole cutout where the proximity sensor is located. The adhesive type was the same as the previous one, edge only, resulting in the newton ring effect. It also mysteriously cracked for no reason.

The one I have on currently is the IMAK full coverage screen protector. Indisputably the best out of all of them, the protector fits exactly over the entire front glass, and instead of cutout holes at the bottom, the chin at the bottom is fully glass, blackened except for where the proximity sensor and front camera are. Full adhesive all throughout means there is no rainbow effect, and the LED notification light is even tinted slightly so that it blends in with the chin, and is invisible until it turns on! The only flaw about this screen protector (yes, there is one) is that the area underneath the front camera is too thin to apply adhesive, so as a result there's a tiny gap between the glass and phone that can let in dust after a while. The dust does not seem to affect the front camera, and I never take selfies anyway, but I have yet to figure out a good way to get the dust out of there.

I have never had a screen protector fit this perfectly, even for phones other than the Mi Mix 2. Most other screen protectors have cutouts for the proximity sensor/front camera/both, but this one blends in so well that it feels like it's not even there.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] dodgyc:
Does anyone know if this protector has a dot matrix on the screen (tiny dots that reflect)? I purchased a Misha 3D protector from Amazon which looks identical to this, and it's great except for the grid of dots across the screen.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Mackay53:
When I tried it there were no dots, just very reflective and had a weird smudge pattern going on which ruined it.

The flossmall one posted elsewhere is so much better.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Wahoux:
Lol those kind of screen protectors damn sucks, they are not full glue, so that make lot of reflections. The nillkin (regular tempered glass, full glue, no black borders), is perfect and cover all the display... So why buy this imak piece of ****?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] dewingerd:
After putting the screen protector on, I take a toothpick and put some glue from a Pritt-stick in the little gap underneath the camera. Not much, just enough to close the gap. When it has dried you can color it with a black whiteboard marker if you want. When you remove the screen protector you can easily rub it off. Works great for me ;):good:

There is 3 IMAK glass protectors, basic not full glass, full glass and full glas PRO.

PRO is the one to look for
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] krasny2k5:
I have one IMAK full glass protector and it's far from perfect, but quite good.

The screen area it's covered by dots and create a lot of reflections outdoors. Also the center of the screen there is a little of "rainbow" effect. [MENTION=3387811]nedooo[/MENTION] what is the "PRO" version of the glass? do you have any link? Does it have glue on the entire glass?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Dogtanians:
I have the pro version and it's pretty great but there isn't adhesive beside the camera/light sensor at the bottom so dust gets in. I had to seal it up myself with a little bit of tape to stop dust getting in.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] krasny2k5:
Can you provide any link to buy? has it glue under the screen?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Dogtanians:
I bought mine from Ebay, I couldn't find it on Amazon UK or anywhere similar: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IMAK-Ful...Protector-For-Xiaomi-Mi-Mix-2-2S/112615150031

Not glue as such but it goes on like a normal protector and you need to smooth out any bubbles etc. It has adhesive around the black/white edge of the protector too.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] krasny2k5:
Thank you! I'll order one and try it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] hawkwind:
Received mine today and while it was a great fit there was one place where it was not sticking about 10mm from the bottom of the screen all of the way across.

I will leave it in place to see if it eventually sticks but I can see myself removing it as it is really annoying me.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] hawkwind:
I have taken it off as it was annoying me too much.

Great fit just didn't stick very well.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] LormaD:
is there a space, between the screen protector and the phone screen everywhere except around the black part?

I had a similar one for my first Xiaomi (the mi mix) and the rainbow effect was awful.

does it rainbow?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Accessories] Hooloovo:
Hi, I just received an Imak Glass-Pro courtesy of the slow boat from China and can confirm this version at least uses full screen adhesive so there is no rainbow effect at all.

I did have an issue with getting some of the bubble's out around the corners and getting it to fully stick down but after applying plenty of pressure for a little while they seem to have fully stuck, time will tell if it starts to lift and show bubbles. So far very happy its a great fit edges are pretty smooth (some of the other I have tried have been quite sharp especially when you swipe in for some of the gestures) clarity is great none of that grey look you get with the adhesive only on the edge versions, screen feel is good but they generally are new will have to see how long the oleophobic coating holds up. As with the other black edge protectors there doest look to be any adhesive just below the camera or the light sensor so dust will probably start to build up which is a bit annoying, going to see if I can find a way to do a temporary seal that wont be noticeable and inst permanent.

Hope this mini review helps, the best full screen protector I have come across for the Mi Mix 2 so far the full adhesive seem to be pretty rare for this type of protector so I would definitely recommend it.
