[Xiaomi Mi 6 Accessories] TLxda-d:
Hello. I've ordered a Mi 6 from GearBest a couple of days ago. It will probably take at least a month to arrive, but I guess I should already order the extras so I'll have them at hand by then too.

I'm looking at different glass protectors and it seems there's nothing with no issues? Many complain the one they bought covers too little of the screen, or that it detached too easily. Perhaps even cracked spontaneously.

What will you recommend? Is there anything which gives complete coverage well? I'll buy a case as well, so I don't want something that might get pulled off when putting a case on.

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Accessories] itsignas:
Stock are good that comes with, can sustain a drops easily. I already use it for over 6 months and been dropped from 1 meter at screen, few times before crack occurred.. Today I think i'll replace it with Nilkin that I got when I purchased it back in summer. Btw Nilkin IMHO is one of the best glasses if not best.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Accessories] apofis2036:
NILLKIN 9H/9H+/H+ Pro is the best i ve tried , no easy scratches, ΝΟ fingerprint at all, 2,5 D edges, its likge touching the phone screeen, its also thinest than the others i tried...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Accessories] TLxda-d:
Well, I ended up buying "ASLING 2.5D Screen Protective Film" from GearBest, and it doesn't seem to stick entirely well. Like most available glass screen protectors, it doesn't go to the very edge of the glass front - so I didn't think the rounded edges of the Mi 6 should interfere (perhaps they're actually not the cause), but the edges of the Asling don't stay "glued" to the phone. They are a bit raised so there is a 5mm hazy white area along all edges. I guess dirt could also get under these parts as they're not flat. The more internal part did stick pretty easily with no bubbles.

This is great, covers the full phone and sticks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...aomi-mi6-tempered-glass-full/32813722170.html.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCloudOne:
Hello,

So my friend bought a Sony Xperia Z1 SO-01F (the docomo variant I assume and it was carrier-unlocked). It was running on stock Android 4.3 firmware. He wanted to update it and mistakenly flashed the Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 Lollipop firmware. It worked fine for a day and suddenly the screen turned completely white, tho the touchscreen still responded. So he flashed the SO-01F lollipop firmware and now the phone is completely dead. The Red LED blinks once when I connect charger or connect it to the PC and then nothing. No fastboot, flashmode, recovery or anything. So I believe it's hard bricked. I have seen that "the_laser"s Unbricking guide which includes connecting Testpoints with GND and using S1Tool, but I don't see the SO-01F file anywhere in the packages. How can I bring this phone back to life?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] geelankbow:
I've bought BNIB mate 10 ALP-L2 last week, after check the acc

I realize that the charger comes with my phone isn't supercharger (5V/4.5A) but an ordinary charger 5V/2A

Charging for 40minutes only got 38% battery i think its slow....

My question is, is it true that supercharger isnt include in the packaging and sold separately?

Because i watch some review about unboxing and some of them inckude supercharger (EU power plug) and another comes with standard charger (UK power plug)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sonydesouza:
Yes i read it's true but maybe it depends from region
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
When I plug the power adapter that came supplied with the phone it flashes a green swirly circle and tells you it is supercharging.

The lightning bolt symbol inside the battery (notification bar) I also different... is like a three zig-zag lighning bolt... if you don't have any of these, then the charger you got is a bog-standard one.

Mine was retail boxed UK version... as sonydesouza says, it could be region specific...

hi Guys,

My OnePlusX having problems with the sound (ear speaker) during the phone conversation.

everybody can hear me clearly but I can only hear softly other people !?

the problem occurred 6 months ago.

since that time i basically set to free speech, then its alright.

Does somebody has any idea ??

is it the last android version or is my speaker broken ??

Regards Ralf
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thimiost:
is there something like that to have a rom ready with all the programs and the rom?

Cause i keep coming back to old roms and it gets boring to install all programs again.

But i think a step by sted guide for rom idiots like me would be appreciated by many

not only the programs...

the rom with the radio too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jarek91:
This is the only choice for enabled ROMs. Otherwise you cannot backup the apps and such between different ROMs. Too many things can vary. You can pretty much save your SMS/Mail/Contacts...but not apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] XtreMe_G:
if by "coming back to old roms", you mean that you tried out a new rom, didnt like it and ended up installing the previous rom you had, then you can just use sprite, do a backup, flash that new rom.......decide you dont like it, flash back the old rom, then restore it again with sprite
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kwickone:
What he said. For new ROMS that I try, and setup with my apps and settings, I make a backup and name the backup appropriately. For example, when i backed up Sleuth's v3.0 rom, I just called the backup 021508_Sleuth30. That way, when I go back to that ROM, it is easy to restore everything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Michaelr219:
if you use spb back up... you can back up specific folders only... i usually back up... application data, appmgr, program files, my documents, favorites, documents and settings, start up, start menu and save just those folders, certain registry values will be missing, but if you reinstall the programs that are having issues it has been a pretty smooth transition for me... hope that helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thimiost:
thank you for your time

But I Wanted To Make A NeW Rom With All My Programs In So That I Wouldn't Have To Do Those Things

Ok I Will Stick With Sprite
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jarek91:
Well if that's what you want...that's a whole different bucket o fish...you should probably go here and here. Those are all about cooking your own ROMs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raftersvk:
Hi,

I am posting here for the first time here, even though I have been following and enjoying XDA for many years.

But for now I am looking for some advice/help to troubleshoot the phone of my child

and here are the details you sould know about :

- Phone model : Ulefone Metal 4G (not the Lite version)

- Problem description : Screen is black and nearly nothing is responding... no back light, no touch response, no led/screen while charging (usb to pc or direct charging).

This happened after plugging the phone on my car to charge and at that time the phone freezed on the ulefone logo screen, but never made it to the android interface. we then stopped the phone by pressing power a long time, but since that time the phone looks like dead.

- What I have tried so far :

~ start in recovery mode : by pressing VolUp+Power, I managed a few times to come to a screen with the following options

===> recovery

===> fastboot

===> normal

this is my only hope and the reason why I am asking for your help, but sadly none of these options are working and each time screen goes black after pressing the VolDown button to choose the option.

~ since I had this screen, I thought the problem might be with a corrupted partition (bootloader or any other needed at the beginning).

so I followed the steps to get the phone connected via USB and use the SP Flash Tool (I read both XDA posts and this one https://tehnotone.com/sp-flash-tool...installation-guide-including-bricked-devices/)

I installed the drivers, downloaded the TWRP recovery to try with something and so far so good I am all set to flash...

but when I start the process with "Download" and then plug the device.... NOTHING happens, the phone is never recognized.

~ I also watched some videos on how to disassemble the device, but I would only do that only if this my last chance.

This is where I am stucked so far, and right now I can't even go back to the "boot" screen with the 3 options.

Anybody already had a similar experience on this phone (or another one) ?

Any idea what I can try to troubleshoot ?

Any hope for the phone ?

Thank your for your help :angel:

Anybody out there with an idea what to do ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJ0074:
You may have overloaded the battery, in which case the only option is to replace it by disassembling it and then replacing the old battery with a replacement one. Did you plug it into a cigarette lighter adapter or just a usb port? There are various things that could have gone wrong here, but I need to know the answer to the question above first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raftersvk:
Hi,

i am sorry I didn't check for your answer, but I finally did what you were suggesting :

disassemble phone and change some parts.

This is what I did exactly :

I first replaced the battery to realize that the problem was with the board in which you plug the usb cable and which purpose is to recharge the battery itself.

I didnt expect much from this lens but it turns out it is really really good. You can use the Moment case with this lens and its much much better than the moment telephoto lens.

https://youtu.be/7Ky2TAUPFPI
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dmxoneIuv:
nice to see some cheaper alternative to moment lenses.

out of curiosity, since you have the pixel 2 xl and moment case, can i ask which screen protector you use for the phone if any? Not sure if anyone with moment case has tried the whitestone dome glass if the case pushes up on the screen protector at all or not. thats what i'm considering since i was happy with the quality when i installed on the note 8. any input would be useful.

I have the Skinomi screen protector and it works fine

Hello, just want to seek an advise. My phone got bootloop with no reason. I've tried flashing stockrom.zip in order for it to fix but I got an error in TWRP stating INVALID ARGUMENT. So, Ive decided to use SPFT to flash STOCK FIRMWARE. Everything works flawlessly. I dont have any errors encountered after installing stock firmware, but for no reason, my PHONE wont BOOT. TOTALLY no RESPONSE even if i hold power button. DEAD BOOT. My phone still detected by PC and SPFT and able to flash firmware but even if I always got SUCCESS, my sprout device still wont boot. Please advise me what to do. I know this phone is too old nowadays but I still like it. Thanks.

If no one reports any issues, I think I am going to flash-all both slots (7.1.1) with the latest update and then install the twrp-mata11. I have mata7 now so I've been meaning to do it anyway) then Magisk 15.2 again.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Burninh2o:
These big lenses cover flash/microphone? how does that work out? tele might not need flash, but what about wide?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] czaplin:
I took a closer look and I know what you are talking about. When I take portrait photos, the face is clear and sharp, the background is blurred. But for panoramas, it's too much vignette and blur in the corners. Someone mentioned that on Amazon, that this lens doesn't work good with Pixel 2.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Yeah, that's the bad news. Flash is covered.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] peikojose:
Yes, flash is covered.. You cannot use it.. also you loose the laser AF.. (It still focus but it is slower),anyway with ANY lens (Not only Moment) that would happen..

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Yes my friend, with the Tele you get vignette and blur in the corners.. One solution (partial) is to zoom around 1,5x and you remove the worse part of the frame.. Also when using video, it doesnt look that bad because the phone zooms in to reduce the frame to enable stabilization...

PD: I was the one that gave the bad review at Amazon

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] erak606:
Hi,

I'm currently using Root Browser to view my files. Under the storages list, it says that I have 2 extra internal storages, as shown in my screenshot. If I go into one, I get 2 folders, image and verinfo. These files can't be opened and deleting them doesn't do anything.

I just personally want to get rid of these files and those 2 storage entries because they just clutter up the app. I suspect it might be partly due to a few days ago when I tried going from rooted Nougat to the Oreo beta 3, which caused a lot of issues and I had to eventually wipe my phone because the data was lost.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zdimension:
Those two "internal storages" are actually the firmware and modem images of the phone. They shouldn't be deleted. They shouldn't even be displayed in the file manager.

Do not delete them, or you will brick your phone.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] erak606:
Thanks for the info. So it's just a problem with the file manager app then? I guess I should contact them and see what I can do.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zdimension:
I don't know if it's a problem (it may be voluntary, some people do need to access the firmware). Although I never encountered any file manager that displayed the firmware by default.

Well-known??

I don't know. I can't understand.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] wulfiss:
I mean, the volume goes down, when you start reproduce something, the volume starts wherever you set it, and then decrease. This only occurs when you use the speakers.

So my thoughts after flashing OREO on Windy.

First of all, cant express enough thanks to koron393 for his work, thinking about donating him.

What amazed me was: finaly 5GHz WIFI works for me: it stopped the moment I flashed a custom rom. years ago now. So it's a nice addition...

Camera works, except for movie, another problem with the cam is that its interface is obstructed by nav bar if you use one. It should disappear once in camera view...

I haven't found more issues for now...

Amazing....
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] milox_x:
[MENTION=5688409]koron393[/MENTION] in Camera settings there is a button for changing storage between phone and sd card. When I change it to sd than it says "couldn´t access sd card". I also attached an Logcat so that you can look at this. Thanks for bringing an Oreo for our Windy.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sebarkh:
Magisk 15.2 works

I confirm the volume issue. When on speaker the volume goes down right after you start playing a movie. I'm using HBO GO app.

Hi people,

probably some one can help me pointing me into the right direction. I bricked my scorpion windy. thats what i did.

1. I was always switching between lowtraxxs and korons custom roms easily. made the mistake and just installed after all the wipes korons 8.x rom over lowtraxxs 7.x. Bricked

2. Read the instruction manual, and flashed boot and twrp image in the bootloader, hoping it would boot again, but doesn't do anything.

I just can get into the bootloader and thats it. Pressing power button and up while its off, results in 3 vibrations and that's it. when i charge the tablet the red led is blinking constantly (im sure wasnt like that before).

anyone with an idea for me?

thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] M1chiel:
I did exactly the same: came from lowtrax' 7.1 rom, wiped in twrp and installed koron's 8.1, initially without gapps. But my scorpion windy booted and runs pretty smoothly. So maybe I was lucky, or your device broke for another reason.
