[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
[MENTION=512944]uicnren[/MENTION] thanks, I had seen it, didn't help much as I only found the put-together and it started with a full teardown. [MENTION=3611457]tatico28[/MENTION], thanks - does that mean the glass does come off by itself, without removing/releasing anything from the front? As I mentioned, I'm happy to have someone else do it, and pay for it, I just don't want to have a new phone look like a 3 year old playing with glue from an incompetent repair. I'm also game to do it myself if I had parts and instructions (I've done lots of electronic repairs, but generally ones that open with screwdriver, not pry bars).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tatico28:
Yes, you definitely need a heat gun ? and a pry tool.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
"Pray" tool... pun intended, or good typo, but perfect wording. :D

My back glass broke Day 2 of owning it...waited two weeks for the part to arrive at ubreakifix. Just the glass was replaced for $79 in about 30-45 mins and good as new again with full Google warranty in place. I did check out a couple of ubreakifix locations nearby before I got it done...I would advise you do so as well since I did not get a good vibe from the first place when the person told me it will take 3-4 hours and he has to consult videos and manuals to do it...

The other Google authorized repair partner is puls.com but they said they do not repair the back glass yet.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
[MENTION=4295988]hammer7t[/MENTION], thank you very much, that's what I wanted to hear. I do have several stores down here, think I will wait for the holiday to be over and maybe more to get parts, and shop around.

For the least invasive process possible, try using an automotive windshield repair kit.

He removed the back glass near the end.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
[MENTION=454752]stevemw[/MENTION], thanks, that's much better than the last one I looked at. So it appears that back glass is not just a piece of glass, but includes the covers for the camera and flash rather than just fitting around them?

Regardless, it does leave the impression the phone is generally built to be serviceable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stevemw:
Yes -- spare parts should be available soon. Why not try a case for now? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07475C1VT/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
Thanks. As mentioned, they had plenty of spares, and it is fixed. Though I do like the looks of that case, and might give it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pEpSi_GrEeN:
Did they say anything about the water/dust resistance being in tact.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Linwood.Ferguson:
They claimed it would have no impact and it was still warrantied as they were authorized by google.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MattiaRs:
Hello!

Does someone has replace the galss at home?

From the teardown picture is clear:

- you need a heat gun

- you need a pry tool

- the camera and the flash lenses are sticky with the glass

https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/Zm4SEMDJK6jbxDUB.huge

Remove the back glass seems easy, but how about remove the lenses from the glass and how to remount them on the replacement glass?

Thnaks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MortitionPoet:
Bumping this, I'm in the same boat.

Not even a week and I cracked my backglass. I too am interested in the lens removal.

Is there any parts available that have this attached already? I've no problem doing it myself, just need as much info as possible.

Cheers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MattiaRs:
I have not found any replacement lenses or back glass with lenses already installed.

Watching youtube videos I saw that old pixel 1 have only the flash lens and it was simply stuck in the back glass hole.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MattiaRs:
Just to laugh...

I wrote to official Google assistance here in Italy to have information about the back glass replacement.

The answer was: 232Euro + VAT (about 280Euro) to repair the phone and 20/25 days to wait...

But, the most amazing thing is that the price of the only examination (in the case i don't want to repair) is 77Euro + VAT ( about 92Euro).

Dear Google...you are crazy...

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] chaboumXDA:
Hi everybody,

I am looking for a magnetic micro usb adapter / cable for my Windows Yoga Book.

What i want is to protect the micro usb port: instead of plugging and unplugging the cables to charge and to synchro data with a magnetic micro usb always plugged in.

But up to now, I haven't found any magnetic micro usb that is able to synchro data on my WINDOWS Yoga Book. It charges OK, but no Data possible.

Has anyone tried or found anything ?

Review (part 2)

Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – Pretty standard 3D performance for this GPU (Mali-T720MP2) on the MT6737 platform.

AndroBench – Confusing result, preetty low write speed with really high read speed, usually it is more balanced.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – Barely reaching ~30fps, the GPU is just enough for some light gaming.

GeekBench – CPU Performance gets impacted slightly by the 32-bit OS.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – Well...heavy benchmarks on a low-end GPU can't provide any better result.

PCMark – Balanced Result for this CPU/GPU, with an higher than usual Work 1.0 result.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – Nothing to say about this benchmark, low-end SOC = low-end performance of course.

Conclusions

As a successor to the Power 1, this Power 2 provides some impressive improvements and it can only get better with some software updates (not sure about the GPS signal though). In 2017, 3G-only smartphones should not exist at all, and that's why now most companies decide to go for the MT6737 SOC instead of the outdated MT6580, and i appreciate that, at least for low-cost devices.

The device itself is decent, if it was built with an higher attention to details and released with a more polished, or more optimized, Android OS, i think it could have been declared as one of the best low-end devices released in the past few months.

So, do i recommend it? Yes, and hopefully m-horse will release an OTA update as soon as possible to make it even more worth the consideration.

Pros:

Decent Camera Quality

Loud Earpiece in-call

Fast enough Fingerprint Scanner

Excellent Battery Life

Nice rounded ergonomic design

Cons:

No Notification LED

Low GPS Signal

Issues with Network Speed Management

No Quick Charge supported

Over-sharpness issues with the screen

[Device Reviews and Information] rajveerSingh:
Just few days back upgraded my phone from Redmi 3 to Power 2 , till now experience is good. :)

seems like i got value for money device because compared to my previous phone extra things are

1. Bigger battery -which is very good for more since i travel a lot.

2. Finger print sensor- easy to unlock the phone

3. Bigger screen - display is quite good and big so it gives good experince while watching movies and videos

4. Camera- At least better than Redmi 3 and it is giving nice shots thanks to dual camera system :)

I hope this phone gets development soon that i can try Custom ROMs :p fingers crossed
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Not an upgrade, the Redmi 3 is way more powerful and made with better components than the Power 2, you probably meant downgrade (and a serious one...) ;)

Comparison here: https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/9c1ce5f26 (or choose any other website to compare specs, but all of them will confirm the huge gap between these devices)
[Device Reviews and Information] rajveerSingh:
[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

If you are comparing in terms of performance than I agree low end CPUs from Qualcomm is better than Mediatek but considering its Bigger battery , Dual Camera setup is leading factor here when it comes to Redmi 3 vs Power 2 , dont you think ?

Redmi 3 is indeed a good phone but for those who are looking larger display and bigger battery phone then Power 2 is a good buy, dont you think ?

Are you planning to give a try for Custom ROM development for this phone ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
1) the Dual Camera implementation on the Power 2 is fake, as on 99% of all Mediatek Devices. That's why i do not provide anymore samples taken using the "Bokeh" mode. (i hope you were aware of this otherwise you paid for a feature that doesn't exist for real)

2) Power 2's screen is bigger but miles away from the quality found on the Xiaomi.

I still don't know how you can appreciate this upgrade from the Redmi 3, unless there are hidden reasons that make you do so (in the last few months too many false or paid users appeared here on XDA, constantly banned of course). If you like it, that's fine, but do not call it an upgrade, because it isn't at all. (bigger screen but worse quality + bigger battery but less efficient processor = downgrade)

Waiting for m-horse to release its official ROM, the website seems to be slightly work-in-progress with no downloads page.

Use this tool for flash roms on your g4. All wm6, wm6.1 roms are safe for g4. Just pick one rom. Place rom`s file (.nbf) in the softspl directory. Put the pda in Airplanemode (flight mode) and start the softspl program.

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] shayels:
Hello Everyone,

I'm interested in buying the razer phone, I live in london but the only store I saw that has this phone is Three, the problem is that I don't want a contract with this company and I want it unlocked as well. Anyone knows how can I buy it? Maybe other stores? and what about the price? Why they said it will cost 700$ and in their site when I want to order it the price is 700£. You know that's not the same price there's a difference between 700 dollars and 700 pounds. So my question is where can I buy it unlocked without any contract in uk for a normal price?

Thanks

I find this incredibly aggravating. Most files listed on this site are now hosted by Androidfilehost. This is one of the worst file hosts I have seen, and trying to download files that are often larger than 2 GB from it is unbearable.

Seriously people, why? Why no mirrors? Why use this terrible host? I have been trying to download a 2GB file now for 2 days, and I have serious doubts it will ever actually finish, as this is attempt #3.

Please tell me there is some reason to this madness.

Because for the majority of people it is the most reliable. A 2gb file normally is done in a matter of a few min

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] jaju123:
I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.

Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] nivisan:
Hi,

Can you connect your HTC U11 plus to your TV with a usb c/HDMI adaptator.

Thanks for your reply.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
That's a great question.

Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.

I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.

None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.

Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.

Bunch of amateur reviewers!

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] JrWriter87:
Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lebigmac:
That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.

If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.

But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...

You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lukey-55:
If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.

Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)

I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?

Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?

Once OnePlus sort out their camera game they'll be a force to be reckoned with. Here's hoping your second unit is ok. I've jumped on to the U11+ train, that 4k mAh battery sings to me.
