[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] rdr_m:
As the title says guys. I am sad and frustrated. I know a perfect glass screen protector does not exist. So after spending tons of money in different film protector I am starting to believe, this doesn't exist either. Each and every film protector has a graininess, a matte look which becomes very obvious in white background. And this is something I absolutely hate. I spent my hard earned money on this phone. And my selling point was the gorgeous display. But it seems I either have to go for protection or display quality. Help me out guys. Tell me that a film protector with absolute clarity, devoid of the disgusting graininess exist. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Following, I am in the same boat
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] romeokk:
Have you tried Whitestone Dome Glass yet? That's the absolute thing. There are only 4 shortcomings so far (1. dust magnet at the edge (not the screen area, just the edge of the glass protector itself) 2. if you try to clean the sticky dust at the edge, you end up shaving out the glue 3. Very expensive 4. Takes too many steps to apply).

After wasting money with the crappy Zagg Glass ...I tried OTAO and I am super happy with it. For 10 bucks u could do much worse....it hasn't come off yet and makes a full seal so dirt doesn't get in. It also doesnt have any clicking sound issues....nor the rainbow effect.

I bought the Ounier Full Coverage Bubble-Free Screen Protector as it was one of the first brands to come up when searching for screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy S9. My phone is fairly new and I needed to have it fully protected first before I include it in my busy daily routine. I’m the kind of person who chooses convenience over price, but as this product was recommended by a friend (for his S8), I gave it a chance. Besides, It’s really great that the pack has 2 screen protectors; the easier to change, the better. I’ve also had bad experiences with other screen protectors for my old phones as they sometimes hinder with some of the phone’s features, like the double tap, the sensors, etc. Since my friend can’t recall any troubles at all with this protector, this eased my mind a bit with what it had to offer.

I recently bricked my phone and sent it to Huawei support. Those said motherboard is defective and sent it back with locked Bootloader, bootloader was unlocked when sent to them. I can use everything except android and now I'm stuck with not being able to get the Product ID to get the bootloader unlock code.

Is there anyway to generate one?

Omg was this not a simple process, finally running L29C636 on the mate 10, fully re branded, the China firmware wasn't bad but too much chinese

Managed to brick it in the process, FRP locked, Bootloader locked, after a long night crying in my sleep we finally manged to unbrick and do it properly, or I should say he did lol

All thanks go to FUNKYHUAWEI, jesus this ain't like it was on the Mate 9, that was s, so simple, FH is finding a way to simplify it but that might not happen, you really gotta know what you're doing here but with FH's help...he made it look easy, very happy now, I'll rebrand to C432 when thats available lol, I feel much better about doing it again

Hi. Once you've rebranded, do you get the updates associated with the new "brand" you converted to? Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Sure.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Serious question. I understand many want to rebrand Chinese ROM to international L29 ROM. But why? My understanding is that you can change AL00 system language to English and you can install Google Play (and services). You can even uninstall all the Chinese bloatware apps via Huawei's Application Store manager app.

So what are the pros and cons? Surely there will be more updates too with the AL00 ROM considering Huawei is a Chinese manufacturer?

So why debrand? Why not just stick to AL00 and do all the above? What am I missing?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
You cannot remove all the chinese things from china firmware that's why.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] podgeandrodge:
What "Chinese things" though? How do they affect day to day use? Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
You will get Hiboard instead of Google's version of that board. Hivoice instead of Google Now. Since the yellow book is filled with Chinese contacts, the dial pad shows up predictive Chinese contacts from yellow book whenever you dial. The Music and Video app has Chinese online content. And maybe because of the new "AI" introduction you might face China based AI pop up tips. You can turn off the Hiboard, but you can't replace it with Google board in a way you get the same swipe left shortcut. You can't remove nor replace the Hivoice (swipe up shortcut). The Music and Video app you can only get around by hiding the app and using alternate app from playstore. The Chinese Yellow book problem in dial pad also could not be resolved, however not sure if its different on the Oreo + EMUI 8. Most bloatware can be deleted but a couple of them cannot be. So those who wish to use the Chinese rom be sure you can adapt to these. Also not sure if 3rd party NFC payment apps will work.

Up to now I have brought Huawei phones from China because Huawei releases these phones internationally a couple months later, it is priced cheaper and more faster rom updates. So i didn't take much issue to the problems stated above. But this time i might go for the local version of Huawei itself as the release date here is not far off and the price is as cheap as the official price in China (getting from re sellers in China would increase price by 100-200$) and if i get 4-6 rom updates a year (https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/help/how-rom-update-year-t3696371) that should be more than enough for me.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
I can't remember all but one of them is the chinese yellow page in dialer.

And one more thing not sure if they fix the notification bug in mate 10 cause in mate 9 all chinese firmwares has a bug that won't allow notifications like WhatsApp and Facebook to appear till you open the application itself.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
That is more to do with changing the settings that makes selected apps to close when phone is in sleep and also maybe toggling notification permissions. Also there is toggle in wifi settings which turns off wifi when in sleep.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Hi. Thanks. Just to be clear. Does that include OTAs. Or are updates handled via FunkyHuawei? If you happen to know, can one simply purchase the rebranded Mate 10? Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

All the replys are quite accurate. From my experience with the Mate 9, another thing I noticed is that there are some features that work only if you know Chinese language. For example, you can set the phone to answer a call, hands free, by voice but you have to say "answer" in Chinese. I could never figure a way around that.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
It's not about settings,the notifications bug in Chinese firmwares is true and you cannot do anything about it,you can check by yourself the mate 9 forum.i don't have the phone anymore but i remember correctly.

When you rebrand the phone you will get the ota specified for the region u rebranded to,so no worry about that.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
Once rebranded the phone acts like a genuine phone from the region it's rebranded to. Ota updates work normally. You can use volte, WiFi calling and so on
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
According to O2 in the UK, Volte only works with phones with O2 firmware so it's no point rebranding specifically if you want Volte and you will use an O2 SIM card.

See, FH says THIS ONE is the only one advised against rebranding; why, or for how long, is up for guesses.

Don't know if it's a FH thing, or this variant just can't for some reason :(

Thank you.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Lens is available in at least two places. One is in Photos (not camera) and the other is Google Assistant. In photos, at the bottom of the picture of a picture already taken, from right to left you should see the share, edit, Lens and delete buttons. For GA, long press the home (center) button. When GA pops up, Lens should be in the bottom right corner. These have been present before 8.1, so maybe you were just looking in the wrong places. Read one of the many reviews on how best to use it.

How to enable VoLTE?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedWave31:
There seems to be something wrong, since I'm stuck before boot (Your device software can't be checked for corruption).

Didn't install supersu since I'm on Magisk, so I only did:

- Modem & Bootstack

- Boot & System

> Stuck before boot

Solved:

- Flashing system first, booting once

- Flashing modem & Bootstack, booting for a second time

- Flashing Magisk 14.3 Beta does make the sim card disabled at boot and Wifi 5ghz takes a looooong time to startup, but everything is fine after things are settled.
