[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Lyvyoo:
Thanks for sharing ChazzMatt! It is a good news, comparing with 250E replacing the back of Samsung S8 at the local service.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] LaTropa64:
I put a dbrand skin on the back of mine. I hated how slippery the back felt and I also didn't like the silver look (I prefer black). The skin made me feel like I actually had a solid grip and fixed my color issue.

It doesn't effect Qi wireless charging either.

I've went naked on every phone I've had before this one and I still consider it mostly nude since it's just a black skin that improves the look. I've yet to break a phone because I don't use cases but posting this will probably cause karma to kick in so.... knock on wood... :fingers-crossed:

I have the spigen you mentioned. Wonderful case.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Maximus41:
Glass front and back and NO case....really lol

They look easy enough to replace with some heat a sucker and guitar pick.... very fine silicone around the edge before fitting new back..... and then a CASE lol
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cazcryy:
There are plenty of people with a glassed-backed phone (and glass front obviously) that don't put a case on. They willingly take the risk and (most of them) accept that it's their fault when it breaks, myself included. Nothing wrong with that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AndroidPurity:
Thanks for the suggestions but none of your links had the LG logo at the bottom and the V30 in the middle. That's what the t-mobile V30 has. I want to keep it original because when I resell it I don't want people to be skeptical of purchasing it if they know the back was replaced previously.

Up to this point all the suggestions you have posted or that I have also found myself either had the B&O logo or V30+ logo or no logo except the LG. Finally someone is selling one with LG and V30 that even comes with the tools too...

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/182961858010

I will probably be purchasing it today. The wait for the right back was worth it! Only part of the repair process I am a little worried about is removing the finger print scanner from the cracked back to the new back. The videos I have seen removing the V30 back have not shown that.

Nice! I probably won't get another case. I have not dropped it on anything but carpet since the 1 incident 2 months ago. But if I get another case I will probably get that one!

Yep... I had my galaxy s7 edge (glass back) which I used for about a year. I almost never had a case on it. In that entire year I never broke or cracked any of glass. The only time I dropped it on a hard surface over course of a year was when I was squatting down in my kitchen, it fell out of my pajama pants pockets (small pockets) onto the tile floor only about 1 foot fall. It only put a tiny scuff on the aluminium corner. The glass front and back were fine.

So basically I almost never drop my phone from my own Clumsiness. Anytime I have dropped a phone it's cause it slid off my lap. To eliminate that risk I am just not putting my phone on my lap anymore unless I'm sitting in an area with carpet.

We pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for these beautifully designed phones. It's silly that we have to cover them up.

Matt, just wanted to say thanks for posting these responses with links and actually useful information instead of just "replace it, it's available on ebay dumbass" or whatever. Clearly you've been on the other side of things and it has saved me time.

Less than a week after getting a brand new V30 I dropped it and the rear glass has some spider web cracking that I can now fix for minimal cost. Initially, I was pissed off at myself, but after learning it's the equivalent of a glued on cover I'm pretty content.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheBoozer:
I replaced cracked back cover of my V30 twice now. The problem is that both times, after I finish and close the phone, the fingerprint scanner stops working, the option in settings disappears. I know I flowed the replacement video very closely. Has anyone experienced this?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevemw:
I noticed two major differences (so far) between my old Nexus 6P and the new Pixel 2 XL (my first Pixel, so I do not know if the Pixel 2 is different from the original Pixel):

- the recovery menu does not have a menu item to clear the cache partition;

- there is no option to require a PIN or pattern before the operating system boots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I'd like to know also.

Which one has better loudspeakers?

Which one is easier to read under direct sunlight?

Which one has deeper/stronger vibration sensation?

Feels better than the other?

etc.

etc.

etc.

It's really hard to justify $900+ for a Pixel 2 XL just to get water resistance and slightly faster hardware.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
There is no longer a cache partition on newer versions of android, I believe this goes for all phones running Oreo and up. As for the pin before the OS boots up, I never used or knew about that with my 6P, unless you're talking about having to enter a pin at the lockscreen after boot. I would have to say the 6Ps speakers were a little bit better in my opinion. The Pixel XL 2 is definitely better in direct sunlight. As for the vibration, I feel like both are a little weak but the 6Ps vibration was terrible until it was increased using a kernel tuner, the XL 2 on the other hand is already at 100%, I'd have to give vibration strength to the XL2. The XL2 feels much lighter in my hand compared to 6P. The 6P is also plagued with the dreaded early shutdown issue due to badly manufactured battery, mine used to shut down as high as 50%
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
2 main points to me are.....the Nexus 6P was a throttling POS with terrible battery life, the Pixel 2 XL is not. Everything else is whatevs.

The end.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pipnmike:
I had 6P and it was shutting off randomly. Pixel 2XL was the obvious choice for a replacement. After using it for about 3 weeks, I must say that the battery life is superb, especially compared to the 6P. I would have to use this phone HEAVILY throughout the day for me to drain it out. And the camera is fantastic as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
The 6P was my first ever Android phone and maybe it was just being new to the Android world in general but I absolutely loved that phone. It did start shutting down around 30% and had some heating/throttling issues, but other than that I loved that thing! Speakers were insanely loud, PureNexus on that was super smooth and stable, and I loved the design of it overall.

Going to the XL right after wasn't too bad except for the partitions causing slower development. Seeing all the stuff available for the 6P, it was kind of a let down not having as much stuff to modify and tweak.

Went to the OnePlus 5/5T and they were good but the camera on the 2XL got me to switch.

Now that devs are more familiar with the A/B layout, development isn't so lacking and it's not too bad on the user's end either. I'm really satsified with this phone, no screen issues like many are having and the blue tint is very slight, so it's a non-issue for me.

All-in-all, I probably could have went from the 6P to the 2XL, skipping the OG XL, but it is what it is. I guess this way I was able to get familiar with the slot layouts myself with the XL, so dealing with the 2XL didn't feel like such an obstacle to overcome.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xplodee:
I've used iPhone all my life and this Nexus 6P is my first android phone. Got it after I saw the neighbour kid using it.

Damn the speakers are super loud.

The pure Google OS is superbly fine.

Everything is great. I don't have have any battery issue + the fast charging is an awesome thing for someone like me.

BUT, THE VIBRATION SUCKS.

I'm a Motorcyclist. And I loved iPhone for it. The vibration is so deep that you cannot miss a call.

Nexus 6P is fine when I'm driving but any other time when I'm on motorcycle, or home or anywhere the vibration does not even feel in pocket.

How did you managed to increase it?

Any pointers? That'd be very helpful.

I was thinking of getting a smartband to get notified for calls. [emoji849]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Root it, install a custom kernel like Ex, Flash, or Kylo use the EXKM app, and increase the vibration settings. Done :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
My take on the 6P vs 2 XL?

I love my 6P running Pure Nexus, Flash kernel, and su, finely tuned. It's fast, reliable, lots of custom options, and I get good batt life for my use (4.5 - 5.5 hrs sot).

My 2 XL is rooted, running Flash kernel, and gets good batt life for my use (4.5 hr sot +/- 30 mins) with no cust rom, and few custom options.

I enjoy the 2 XL way more, it is noticeably faster, and I've nearly forgotten my 6P which is a great device that doesn't need upgraded even running a 6 month old Cust Rom.

Could you live with the 6P and save $800? Sure.

But man could've just stayed on the earth looking up at the moon too... I'm really glad we went there!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xplodee:
Haha. I have no idea how to do all that and mainly the fear of messing up the phone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] styckx:
Nexus 6P was absolutely horrendous with outdoor viewing. Even with brightness all the way up it was abysmal to read in sunlight.. Pixel 2 XL blows it away.

Nexus 6P as mentioned before was a throttling heat generator

Nexus 6P battery was garbage

Nexus 6P loud speaker was terrible

The oleophobic coating wore off quickly and the phone became a smudge magnet.

Nexus 6P on T-Mobile was annoying with modem randomly deciding it doesn't want to connect to the mobile network anymore due to band 12 ****ery and requiring a reboot to connect to the mobile network again.

Nexus 6P didn't age gracefully that's for sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
What I'd really like to know is if the 6P with the "high brightness mod" found in kernels (thanks to Flar2) is brighter than the Pixel 2 XL stock max brightness, which will not be getting that mod anytime soon (if ever).

The high brightness mod on my 6P really, really cranks up the brightness and works super well when set to automatic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yep, my 6p with HBM on, is slightly brighten than my P2XL at full brightness. But it's not a drastic difference in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Don_Perrignon:
Truly and deeply, batter camera, battery life, and battery longevity. The 2XL being a 10nm device puts the power and efficiency double that than the 6p on paper. Real world.... It's better and longer.

All of the other yada yada's:

- Better built

- Water resistant

- Better Dac

- Photo/Video storage

- smaller bezels

Yeah, can't think of anything else that matters you can't do without root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevemw:
Except for diminished battery life I had no real problem with my 6P, but it was good to replace it with the Pixel 2 XL. Booting up the 6P compared to the speed of the 2XL makes me smile on the occasions I do shut down.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevemw:
Yeah, mine developed battery issues very quickly before it was replaced.

I never had any problems with the 6P band 12 on T-Mobile. I was hoping to see greater throughput on the 2XL but it's generally about the same. There are times when the 2XL outshines the 6P, but I can't say it's consistent.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] andy6685:
It's pretty easy, I'm not super good with this stuff, but the instructions are good to follow. There's a Guide and a Index thread by heisenberg that has everything you will need. The 6P is a fun phone to mod. You should do it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Just a warning, if you decide to increase the vibration strength, try not to put it past 75-80% you could damage the vibration motor if you go higher.

When i delete the backup file and then recreate a backup, its still just a "File" type of file. Am i missing a setting or something? No matter where i place the backup it's the same thing.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Krystlie:
For me when I plug in my phone to my computer while in TWRP I can still drag and drop the files over. You should be able to see your device in Windows. Since you can use adb try doing

adb push <source file location> <target location>

replace the <source file location> with the file location. That should move the file over to the phone. Then you can flash the ROM and get into the system.

Edit: When you click the Install button can you not find the files? The ROM you are flashing should be in a zip file.
