The case is nice and snug does not add any bulk to the phone worth noting. Also the weight in minimal. I am positive that you will like the case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
I don't think we'll get a 'real life' picture of it now, since it isn't supposed to even be released until Dec 8; it is available for pre-order though; hence why I was asking...
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
This is what shows up for it on Amazon, though:
[Essential Phone Accessories] Nick N:
The guy above said he has it, that is why I asked...
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Ah, OK.... I think he was talking about the other Tudia case, the one available now. I had asked since I figured they might be somewhat similar.

There are websites that will 3d print it for you if you do t have access, my brother in law has one and is gonna print me one, I'll post pics and a review if anyone is interested
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Well I went ahead and ordered the GLOST case from Amazon, not supposed to be available till the 8th AT THE LEAST. Figured if I don't like it I can return it for a different one.

I'll report back on it once I receive it!
[Essential Phone Accessories] Nick N:
In stock on Amazon NOW. Don't forget to apply the 15% off coupon.
[Essential Phone Accessories] 1901madison:
Is the Glost case slimmer than the Tudia Tamm case? I have that one already. It's fine, but I'd prefer something slimmer.
[Essential Phone Accessories] dee dub:
what is the promo code?
[Essential Phone Accessories] mackiee:
Drop and scratch test

Tudia posted two videos of this case to their facebook page. I'd link to it but I am not allowed to post links yet.

Drop test was from ~5ft, no damage to phone

Scratch Test was using a razor blade on the back of the case, no damage.

Looks like a pretty decent case, now I just need to find a source in Canada.
[Essential Phone Accessories] xterminater07:
Saw the drop test from the front glass of the phone, but I'm still concern how it doesn't crack with such a thin lip.
[Essential Phone Accessories] TedWinters:
Any concern about the tudia case scratching the essential? Or is it a rubber interior?
[Essential Phone Accessories] tacopicante123:
I ordered the Glost case and it is arriving this afternoon... I bought it on ebay for $19.99 US, from a seller named w2corporation. I will post a few pics on the phone so you guys can see it. I'm also curious how the tempered glass will look on the back of the phone
[Essential Phone Accessories] dantrevino:
Photos of the GLOST case

Here are some photos of the GLOST case I received today.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/PxvOQkemBBolq44b2

I would say, not nearly as grippy as the TAMM, but it also looks a lot nicer. The "ridges" you see on the sides are pretty smooth and don't add much grip, but just the slightly added girth helps.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Yep, I got mine today too... was going to upload some photos but you beat me to it!! ;)

Actually, I think it is a really nice case, it does add some weight to the phone, and the glass back leaves smudges from handling it, but it is a sweet case! Much more 'grippy' on the sides of the phone now than it was when 'naked'. And it still fits well into my Walmart holster!!

So far, I do recommend it. But really I should give it a week of use before I pass 'final' judgement.

-Tom
[Essential Phone Accessories] dantrevino:
I agree. The grip with this case is much better than without it. It just not as grippy as the TAMM. Given the choice, I'm currently using the GLOST.
[Essential Phone Accessories] SimpTheChimp:
Yep... My only worry is how well the 'glass' back will hold up - especially if I did drop it.
[Essential Phone Accessories] reverenddak:
Can you post pics of the new case installed? I like the little ridge on the corners on the back. Seems like a nice touch to protect the glass back.
[Essential Phone Accessories] LNJ:
How much of a lip is there on the front?
[Essential Phone Accessories] dantrevino:
I uploaded pics of the glost on the phone to the same link above. It's a very slight lip. Pretty typical I would say. The pics are full-size so you can zoom in a bit and see.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Jaxidian:
I now have a GLOST, TAMM, and SKN. I posted some info on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7i8iju/tudia_case_preview_tamm_skn_and_glost/

Any questions I can answer? Will be doing a more thorough review soon.

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------

Just barely thicker than the Orzero TGSP around the edges, then a tad more on the corners. It's close but the tiny extra bump on the corners definitely guarantee it's thicker.
[Essential Phone Accessories] DaiCaLong:
Just bought this case as well so I thought I'd leave some feedback here.

Pros: Clean, minimalist look, which matches the phone's aesthetics. Scratch-resistant glass back.

Cons: The sides get dirty pretty quickly (white case). Fingerprint sensor slot could have been bevelled for better handling.

The back is definitely glass. Found that out the hard way when I dropped mine. Glass is brittle by nature and I knew this before buying it so it's not truly a con. But I would have appreciated if they had depressed the back slightly. Instead, the back raises a bit above the plastic side, guaranteeing it the crack if it ever hits the ground.
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] SCREAMFEAR:
I bought a new unlocked LG G5 AT&T variant

I tried to charge the phone using the OEM charger & data cable, but the phone was not charging so I thought that either the OEM charger or data cable are defective

So

I used my old charger with the G5 OEM data cable & the phone started to charge normally so I concluded that the OEM charger is defective, but what happened next really shocked me!

I bought a generic data cable & I tried to charge the phone using the G5 OEM charger & the phone started to charge normally even fast charging was working!

I really don't understand why the OEM charger & data cable won't work charging the phone when they're used together, but separately both of them are working just fine honestly I am really confused :eek:

I would really appreciate any suggestions?
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] Simran62:
If it is under warranty then u should go to the nearest service center and request for a replacement its not a big deal if ur phone I s under warranty
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] SCREAMFEAR:
Unfortunately the phone didn't come with warranty because I bought it from abroad
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] Simran62:
Use the cable u bought and hang the original cable on the wall as a memorial lol

The only thing i can imagine is the cable provided in the box is not for the g5 or can say faulty, maybe the wires r thin for the fast charger and the current cant flow through, current is like traffic
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] SCREAMFEAR:
Haha what really surprised me when I tested it using my old charger & it was working just fine, but like you said maybe the data cable is somehow faulty, I just hope that the issue is not related to the phone itself
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] ChristopherXI:
You made a huge mistake buying the AT&t variant.

If you are not using AT&t cell network.

You cant receive updates.
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] SCREAMFEAR:
Not really because I don't care about any new updates..

Thousands are complaining from bugs after updating their phones & the same thing happened to me after I updated my previous phones no more cellular service, battery draining, Bluetooth stopped working & so on..

So I rather not ruining my phone by updating it

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mas1683:
I have a Pixel 2 with the bluetooth connection issues. When I go look for the Google Security Updates, it says that I am up-to-date. I did a factory reset and tried to get the update afterwards, but it has the same issue where it is not finding the update.

Has anyone successfully been able to find a way to get the phone to find the updates, or should I get a hold of Google to return the phone?

Thanks,

Mark
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] porky101:
I have also not received the November security update, every time I check it says it is up to date. I bought the unlocked version from the Google Store and am using Verizon.

This reddit thread shows a way to potentially force it, i have not tried it yet -- https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._on_september_security_patch_regular_pixel_2/

UPDATE: I have tried it, and it did not work
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mas1683:
I also tried it and it didn't work. I would be more patient, but the Bluetooth issue is quite frustrating. I'll give it a few more days then will contact Google again for a replacement device.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
Despite they say that the check for updates button now always bring the latest update. There's a lot of people that doesn't get it when pressed and have to wait a few days or weeks to get them like always.

Things that could affect the check for update button:

- Not being 100% stock un-rooted

- Being subscribed to the Android Beta

- and sometimes if you start executing an OTA update and it fails you might need to wait a few days for a second chance.

None of these reasons apply to you obviously but just giving my experience.

The best 100% official workaround to get now the update is to install the update manually using the stock recovery:

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] porky101:
Are the ones marked Verizon for the Verizon version, or also for people who bought the unlocked version and are using Verizon? My current version is OPD1.170816.010, which is not a Verizon version, so I guess I would want OPD1.170816.025 since the version I currently have is not the Verizon version? Still find it crazy that an update would come this late, never got them this late on my 5X. I never understood the point of if I manually check I cant just auto get the OTA (I know there was that article somewhat recently that they are moving to that though).

I too bought unlocked from Google but using on Verizon. I was on .10 and waited weeks after release for a push, but it never came. So I manually flashed the .25 update. No issues, working perfectly, with the Nov security update.

I am still on september security update. Got a Pixel 2 (Verizon). Hope they hurry up. Its almost december :(
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Vitias:
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have the same problem ever since I cleared the Google Play Services' data through the app's interface. The OTAs just stopped coming. I have been flashing full OTA images since August, but it is getting really annoying. I still didn't get the November's patch, nor the December's one. It always says my system is up to date. I didn't try clearing the Play Services Framework's data, as it isn't effective and only causes trouble. I tried clearing the Play Services' data though many times, but it doesn't help.

I am rooted with Magisk. Everything else is fully stock (rom, kernel, recovery) and I do pass the Safety Net test.

If anyone has a solution to this problem, please share it with the world. I don't believe that I am the only one with this problem.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] basily:
I've had the same problem with my P2XL for the last couple of month. I have just been downloading the full updated firmware and flashing from my computer, but it would be nice to be able to update while travelling with no computer.

Details:

-Magisk rooted, everything else stock, including recovery.

-Google edition - I used to get updates, not sure what changed.

-Not on beta. I even tried signing up and then unsubscribing. No help.

-"Check for update" button does nothing.

-Clearing data on Google Services Framework doesn't help.

-I'm in Mexico on Telcel, but updates have worked in the past.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nogaff:
Haven't been receiving OTA updates since flashing the Pie factory image in August.

Device is stock apart from being rooted with Magisk.

Update button always says system is up to date, so I eventually sideloaded the latest OTA image at the end of November but still didn't receive any update notification in December.

I'm starting to suspect the update manager in Pie is detecting root or something, because I used to receive updates just fine on Oreo, and everyone else who has this problem also seems to be rooted.

I just bought a second hand galaxy s8 plus yesterday for $600. The condition was excellent and new

However

1. Camera is awful and I can't find the app in settings.

2.Cannot find erase data or reset bar in settings

3. I went into apps with usage access and there were apps like SecInstructions Engineer mode enabled which I turned off

Should I reset my phone using recovery mode or just keep the sketchy apps accessed ...

What should I be careful when using a phone like this?

Also is there a way to improve my camera in any way? the camera quality is just awful

[ASK] bootloader version

hai guys, need info of moto z xt1650-03.

i've moto z 7.1.1 and BL 91.08.

i've already tried to reflash with version 6, but i've got the error for downgrade issue.

so i flash it back to its original.

so much work to do this, coz i've been very hard bricked for downgrading it.

the question is, is it possible to downgrade BL 91.08 to other version ?

i think that if i can downgrade it, it can flash the old version like MM or N 7.0

many thanks.

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] phhusson:
How to know if your phone is supported:

- Does your OEM provides a stock Oreo ROM?

No ===> Your phone is not supported

- Run Treble Check on stock Oreo ROM. Does it say Treble is supported?

No ===> Your phone is not supported

If all answers are yes, then your phone MIGHT be supported.

Test it, and report the result!
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] phhusson:
Build script available at https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/blob/master/build.sh

Current status:

Over-all:

Xperia XZ1:

- Broken camera (because of Sony's DRM)

Huawei Mate 9 Pro and Honor 9:

- Fingerprint sensor should have "home" behaviour

- software keys should be disabled

Known end-user problems (WON'T BE FIXED in this ROM):

- No exfat
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] phhusson:
Known mess:

- A-only should use https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/hashtag:"non-ab-boot-gsi"+(status:open OR status:merged) instead of dm-verity hacks

- the dm-verity work-around is also needed on A/B, so other patches are missing, for some other reason

- On A/B devices, this system.img effectively transforms the device into a userdebug build. This means adb root works!

adb root should work on A-only later too, though it requires that the OEM includes https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:move-adbd-to-system+(status:open+OR+status:merged)

This can probably be worked-around by moving adbd inside a /system/etc/init/xxx.rc

- ADB auth is totally disabled at the moment on A/B, this is bad, but useful for debugging.

- Huawei (for instance Mate 9) doesn't declare android.hardware.fingerprint. This ROM does it for them, but this need to be better implemented

- SuperSU and Magisk screws with SELinux policy. DO NOT USE SuperSU OR Magisk WITH THIS ROM

[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Swan Princess:
Wonderful work you're doing here! Would you mind explaining what is the A/B only versions? What do those letters mean? Are there means of reverting back from your experimental build to stock Oreo?
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] IH8TouchWiz:
A/B refers to the new partitioning system on the Pixel and Essential devices. It has one active slot and a backup slot for all parts of the system, so you'll have a boot_a and boot_b, system_a and system_b, and so on. Most devices still use a singular slot system, so unless you have a pixel or essential phone, you would flash the normal O build. Also, the steps on how to flashing back to stock are usually device specific, but you should be able to restore your stock O build by just reflashing the stock system.IMG from your device and wiping in fastboot.
[Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS] Swan Princess:
Oh, thank you for explaining that to me! I have a Mate 9 and I seem to enjoy living on the bleeding edge, at the same time I'm dependent on WiFi tethering for my net. So may try it and see how it works at least. Would love to see if we get any opportunities to fiddle with the camera processing and GPS subsystems, as those are my hobbies.
