Just got mine in today!! I'll be installing it later hopefully and after a few days of using it, I'll include my first few day impressions!

From what I've seen, you have to make sure you tilt the phone so that the LOCA touches between the tempered glass and the glass of the phone then release the tab thingy so that it doesn't "splash" down... Basically dropping the glass too fast results in bubbles...

Back in stock on Amazon. Just ordered mine
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
They're quoting delivery as far out as Jan 29... Hard to understand why it would take 3+ weeks if it's actually in stock. Disappointing...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] antiochasylum:
Oh wow. Mine is delivery next week. Weird. Guess it's not in stock. I don't like companies that take orders and give you a month to ship
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
You have may have gotten the last one actually in stock :) ...

I've been debating going with the Whitestone, or InvisShield. I like Whitestone's installation process as it eliminates most variables. the InvisShield seems to offer a bit better coverage, and somewhat curved edges, but installation looks potentially trickier. Either way, I need something soon, as the Zagg on my phone is atrocious, has dust and cat fur adhering to the edges, and tends to fall off the phone -- not a great way to keep the phone protected (or looking reasonable!).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrBrady:
I'm about to order one for my XL and one for my wife's PIxel 2. Pixel 2 version is eligible for Prime 2 day free shipping. XL version isn't eligible for Prime, plus charges $5 for shipping. ETA isn't until the end of the month. Bummer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mr2sweet:
I ordered from amazon as soon as they became back in stock. Mine is supposed to be here on Monday so I know they did have some in stock. I hope if you order it shows up sooner than the 29th.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ginfest:
I ordered one from the last time they were in stock. Got it today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ctrekd:
Ordered Wednesday, received it today and put it on. Looks and feels great.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
...and now, it shows on Amazon only as "unavailable"...

Currently unavailable.

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
The link in the video shows it's available. Won't arrive until 1/19-1/29

[youtube]NB0ssnD08PU[/youtube]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Yep. It was unavailable for a couple of hours, then started showing as available again. Still the same likely delivery range: 1/19 through 1/29. Frustrating.

I finally installed my Whitestone protector last night. Install was fairly easy and looked great once done. This morning I wake up and find that dirt/dust is stuck all the way around the edge of the protector. Looks horrible and not easy to clean. Pretty disappointed after spending $50 on this... Has anyone else experienced this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Snow02:
You've just got a little bit of adhesive that came along the edge. Just rub your finger along the edge and you should notice the adhesive ball up and flake off.

Mine did the same thing. Few days later and I don't have any more accumulating dust.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
That is what I did after installation. Guess I didnt get it all. Trying some more now and it seems to be taking forever. On some spots it looks like too much loca came off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Snow02:
Yeah. My bet is you let the glass sit a little longer before starting the curing?

Looking at the photo you can actually see little bits of adhesive sticking out from beneath the glass. Should come off with a little patience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] chriskwarren:
Can't seem to get this in Canada (not available on eBay and the US Amazon won't ship this item to Canada). Bummer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
I waited until the adhesive spread and maybe another 10secs( less then the 80sec stated in the instructions) Thinking about removing it and starting over at this point...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
mine was like that too. just keep rubbing it, use alcohol pads if you have some. it'll get better
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Tehpdub:
going to install mine tomorrow, has anyone noticed the quality of the front has it changed, from what i read it does not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
It's never going to be perfect, I am tempted to return mine, haven't installed it yet, but had the same issues on the S8 and when I tried to remove the excess, it balled up and you could see airgaps and bubbles through the front.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dontbeweakvato:
The edge glue sticking out is supposed to be removed before the second cureing... With the alcohol wipe. That glue is definitely a dust magnet, that's why I was sure to get all the excess off. My glass looks perfect, which amazes me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
I used the cleaning cloth after the first curing process and wiped in one direction as stated in the instructions. Did not see anything mentioning the use of alcohol pad at this step... It also states in the instructions to make sure not to press too hard when wiping the edges or it may lift the glass or remove the glue...

Spent a long time today cleaning up the edges, its a little better but still attracting dust. Will see how it is by tomorrow, if its not better I will just remove and reapply the protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Krzychu23:
try here... only place atm, thats where i ordered mine

https://www.qoo10.sg/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dontbeweakvato:
I Thought in the video it said to use alcohol pad to wipe excess glue from edges after the first curing because once it fully dries it's much harder. But it's actually a great looking and feeling glass protector
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
i just reinstalled the whitestone after the second purchase arrived. the first attempt was horrible. it was my first try after ordering the whitestone at launch. completely botched both attempts. the second purchase arrived today. lazybandits video helps a lot. great piece of glass. way better than side adhesive and film protectors. it cost total of $100 with two purchases but it's definitely the best on market today. there isn't much of a gap with caseology parallax. waiting for the rhinoshield to arrive. it's case friendly. there's 3 bubbles (not lint or dust) but it's not very noticeable
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
give it a week or so. it gets better but it's not immediate
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
I got the Whitestone Dome Glass for my Pixel 2 XL on Monday and installed it last night. It was a pretty straightforward installation. Pulling the little tab that holds the protector too fast does make bubbles. I learned the second time around to pull it out a little slower. I got only one little bubble but I was able actually carefully squish it out.

After curing it was all great. I don't see any difference with the front facing camera's picture quality. I have several cases and it works great with all of them.

With the Google Pixel 2 case the screen protector is the tiniest bit above the lip of the case. It's hardly noticeable. With three different Case-Mate cases the protector is just below the lip of those cases. With the Speck Presidio case, the protector is also below the lip. And finally, with the Spigen Liquid Crystal case the sides fit absolutely fine despite the case fitting just right. The protector sits below the lip.

So I have no complaints that the screen protector doesn't cover the curved edges. It's case friendly and I use a lot of different cases lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
How much did you pay in total? is the price advertised on here CAD?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] force70:
Typical whitestone BS.

Went through the same thing on the s7 edge, s8 plus and Note FE. They dont give a crap about Canadian customers.

Great product for sure and worth every penny but the company isnt great at taking care of customers at all.

sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
So, you simply immediately squish the bubble out before curing it, right?

Would that cause excess glue on the sides then?

Bubble is my worry on this.

Also not available for the rest of the world (Europe, Asia, etc.).

They have enough money I guess.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Do not push down in the tempered glass. If there is bubble, start the process all over. Just make sure the glue is in the center before dropping the tgsp down on to the phone. Also make sure the phone screen is clean.

If people are worried about dust, turn on the hot water in the bathroom for 10-15 mins so that it gets steamy. Turn it off and let the bathroom sit for a few mins. This will cause the dust and stuff to settle. This will essentially be a "clean room" and you can do the installation with fear of dust. It's not 100% but it will eliminate majority.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I actually had to push down on the screen protector due to the surface I was installing on not being flat causing the glue to not reach the edges and some bubbles. No issues here. Thing looks fantastic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] 91ludesit:
Does anyone know where to order just a replacement glass? I still have one round of glue for my install kit, but managed to drop and break my screen protector over the weekend.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ilal2ielli:
Whitestone hasn't released a glass only version for our phones yet. Even if they did, their pricing is only a $5 difference between the full kit and the glass replacement only kit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dmarden:
Here's my mini post-install contribution...

Installation was SUPER easy... I watched 2 vids before, in preparation. Still... I was pretty nervous. I've done a zillion installs, but never one like this. The worrying was for nothing... easy peasy.

I've had essentially every other protector on the market installed on this guy, but have been using the intelliGLASS 3D most recently (my best of the worst, so to speak). Kidding aside, I was mostly happy with it... looked ok, rainbow 50% of the time, whatever.

Anyway... this Whitestone protector looks WAYYYYYY better. Despite note being curved and not covering the entire screen (I guess), it looks way better and more complete than the other curved ones because it's clear and actually seems to extend past where the black border kicks in on the others.

If I was not a case user, I am not sure I would be super thrilled with the edge feel, maybe (also true for the others)... but since I use cases (Diztronic mostly) everything feels perfect.

The cut outs around the speakers look great and actually look nice in general (as opposed to "nice for what it is" or something). Now... it's only been about 30 minutes, so it's too soon to tell for sure, but so far... no issues with glue having bled out from beneath the glass. I ran a cloth across the edges and nothing get stuck or anything like that.

I also feel like it kind of looks more clear too... I am not sure if that's real, mental, a reflection of the missing zillion dots or what... but it looks great.

An added benefit is that I can actually see the notification LED much better when the phone is on my desk. With those black border pieces of glass, sometimes the angle would result in the LED being blocked a little. Not the case with this.

Anyway... that's enough praise, I think. If you're on the fence for this... I say go for it. Easily worth the price based on quality, even more so if you factor in the cost of the truly insane number of crappy protectors I went through before the Whitestone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] armandocorti:
Buying a smartphone has become an investment and as such we want to protect it since we spend up to 1000 dollars on these devices. The first thing we do when buying it is get a good case and a screen protector. Both things come with sacrifices and in the case the screen protector it's even more critical, since it is the part of the phone that we interact the most. Most curves screen protectors when is placed on your smartphone: lose touch sensitivity, have the so-called rainbow effect, do not cover the entire screen, have a matrix of points to increase the sensitivity of the screen. With Whitestone Dome is the first screen protector which I have not experienced any of these problems. Sometimes I lose sight of it and I do not even feel it is there.

Pros

• It is attached to the screen with a special glue, which increases the sensitivity of the screen.

• Does not have a dot matrix.

• No rainbow effect

• Good resistance against fingerprints

• Case Frindly

Cons:

• The installation is not so simple for the regular user (For this there are a variety of videos on the internet that explain the installation process)

• If the glue runs too much it can accumulate dirty at the edges.

My PH-1 has died ☹️

Had some issues with UI stuttering and tried reflashing original rom, but kept getting failed to write errors.

After many attempts I was worried the battery was low. So I powered down. Then when I plugged the phone in to charge, no charging indicator or led showed.

I left it over night to see if it would charge anyway.

Next morning I tried to reboot, but only got a micro second green LED flash and nothing.

Maybe someone will have an idea?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] leoydj:
I have been trying to root my Note 8 N950U Snapdragon for a little now and I decided yesterday was the day to do so. I tried it but once I got to the second installation, my phone would go into this recovery mode bootloop where it makes a vicious cycle: Turn On~>Samsung Note 8 Logo~>Recovery Mode Blue Screen(1-3 seconds)~>Lines of code along the lines of "failed to mount /cache"/////////////

After a while of this cycle, the phone turns off then back on with the cycle. The only thing I can access from this bug is the Download Mode. Help, please. I have a flight around 8 hours from now so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr-Noob:
Hi, first of all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I tried on the development section but I couldn't so here it is the thing;

First of all, I'm using the default rom(AQH3) with root. The point is that I have used other phones, and I have been using strace command as any other linux command, on the android terminal or via adb. However, I recently bought a S8 but it seems it does not include this command in the rom by default. BusyBox does not incluide it either, so the only aproach left was to copy the strace binary from my previous phone to the S8...i do thinks that's not a good idea but at the moment that's the best I can do. Sometimes it works good, but with some apps I can't use it because the information i get is useless; It gives me all the time

restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted restart_syscall ...>)

Which is not really usefull...What could I do to use strace on my S8 properly? Maybe I'm missing something, or is there a way to download a 'official' strace binary for this rom/phone? It seems to me that Samsung does not provide you this utility but maybe I'm wrong. I searched everywhere but I found nothing.

Thanks everybody for your time and your help! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
You need strace built (preferably staticly) for the right architecture for it to follow the system calls correctly. Ive actually had plans to build one for a while, will share if I do
