What is the best Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S8

I've always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?

I got the Ounier screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] overitinatl:
So it seems I was sold a bill of goods by Total Wireless. 18 months after buying a brand new S6 I am still stuck on Lollipop with no hope of a system update (apparently TW is the last to update.) The apps I need to run my business now require Marshmallow or better.

Has anyone found a way to root and update this phone?

I'm a newbie to cellphone rooting but do have an engineering degree and can follow a good set of instructions!

Please tell me I don't have to throw out this piece of junk just yet!

Thanks!

[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] iantechie1979:
Hi everyone, After flashing various roms, kernels and recoveries etc... My frp now shows locked when in fastboot mode. As a result i cant hardly use adb+fastboot commands. OEM Unlock is not on in dev options and is greyed out. USB debugging is switched on and i can access the phone through hi-suite and file manager. My BootLoader is Unlocked. So how do i unlock frp??? i cant do factory reset because it only goes to eRecovery. Please can someone help???:confused:
[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] iantechie1979:
Me again, i cant believe no one has come across the same problem.??!!?? is there a programi can use apart from dc-unlocker to change frp from locked to unlocked?? that is free?? please help..
[Honor 5C Questions & Answers] iantechie1979:
RESULT! I FIXED IT BY MYSELF. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I DOWNLOADED DC-UNLOCKER AND PURCHASED THE CREDITS NEEDED. BUT I NEVER HAD TO USE IT. AFTER HAVING THOUGHT, RESEARCHED AND TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, I TRIED SOMETHING JUST ON THE OFF CHANCE!! IT ONLY BLOODY WORKED!!!

I'VE SEEN SO MANY POSTS ABOUT BLOADER UNLOCKED AND FRP LOCKED AND NOT ONCE HAVE I READ A SOLUTION! HECK, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON REPLIED TO MY POST!

ANYWAY IF YOU TOO HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM SEND ME A PM AND I WILL REVEAL THE METHOD. BUT KNOW THIS SEEING AS LOADS OF PEOPLE PAY DC-UNLOCKER AND FUNKY HUAWEI ETC, I THINK IT ONLY FAIR THAT I WILL ASK FOR A SMALL CONTRIBUTION. NO PC/LAPTOP OR SOFTWARE NEEDED.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Hi,

How to transfer contacts and texts from Samsung SIII to the 5t? Is there a smart switch or something for non Samsung phones?

Thanks
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Your contacts should be linked to your Google account. If they're on your SIM (which IDK why anyone would do these days), you can save them to your Google account on your s3, then when you sign into your Google account on your 5T, they will sync. For calls and texts I use the SMS Backup and Restore app.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Thanks about the contacts restoration, I manually copied them by creating a vcf file last night. About sms backup and restore I tried many apps, they copy each sms individually but when we restore them they are sorted wrongly i.e. not as per dates. Is there any specific app to which you are referring to? Also is there any smart switch type of app for this purpose?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Thanks. Copied contacts by creating a vcf file and then restoring the same. For messages used many apps, they copy each sms individually but after restoring them they are not sorted date wise. Is there any particular app to which you are referring to? Also any smart switch type of app for this purpose?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
No prob. The name of the App is SMS Backup & Restore. Just search it in the Play store. It will batch backup all your calls and texts, then you can upload it to Google drive within the app. Search for the upload to G Drive setting in backup settings. Once complete, download the same app on ur 5T, sign in to Google drive within the app, and restore. It will warn you if you don't switch back to ur SMS app and select it as default SMS after restoring, you will not get texts until u do. It does this because it needs to be the default SMS app during restoration.

Using Jawbone for audio with Windows xp laptop

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a Jb which I use very successfully with my Nokia N75 phone. I want to use it for skype, etc on my windows xp laptop (a Thinkpad). I have tried several times to set it up but when I connect, I get an annoying rapid 8-tone signal about every 5 seconds. I suspect I have to change some audio setting on the laptop but I cant seem to find and fix the problem. Does anyone know how to make this work?
[General Accessories] sonus:
What is beeping your laptop or your headset? What bluetooth stack are you using on your laptop?
[General Accessories] dealsmith:
Jawbone with Windows PC

Thanks for your interest. The headset is beeping. I am not sure what bluetooth stack I have. I have a linksys usbbt100 bluetooth device plugged into a usb port. I set windows to use bluetooth for audio and microphone instead of the default internal Intel device. it worked perfectly the first time I plugged it in and paired it with the jawbone. then the next day I tried again and something was wrong. I dont recall exactly what I did but I have now messed with all of the windows settings and cant get it to work. I have also deleted and re-paired a couple of times as well as reset the jawbone. I spent two hours on the phone with linksys and they gave up. The computer works fine for a data transfer via bluetooth with my nokia phone which I did with the help of the linksys tech. I spent a half hour on the phone with Aliph, the jawbone maker, and they said it was not their problem.
[General Accessories] ndonahue:
You're probably screwed

I think you're out of luck getting the Jawbone to work with XP. XP doesn't currently support bluetooth headsets, and Aliph decided to embrace style of substance and save a few pennies per device by not licensing the WIDCOMM drivers for their headset.

I haven't looked at it, but check out the SP3 white paper to see if that might give you the services you need.
[General Accessories] jamesbest77:
I had this *exact* problem and couldnt figure out how to solve it (my first bluetooth headset) :)

I think that ringing sound means the PC is trying to connect to the headset, and is waiting for you to press the talk button. So, I pressed the talk button and *nothing*. I pressed it again, and again etc... still nothing. It turns out, I wasnt pressing it hard enough. Anyway, it connected after a while and I was happy.

I think some sets might just have a stiff button or something. But I find I dont have to press so hard anymore - maybe it just takes a while to "break in" the button for everyday use...

I recommend the following steps:

- press the reset button on the jawbone

- pair the device

- turn it off using the talk button (try pressing it from different angles with different pressures)

- turn it on

- wait for your bluetooth software to detect it as a headset

- connecting to the headset using the pc

- wait for the 8 ringings

- try pressing the talk button from different angles with different pressures. the ringing should stop and it should start working...

Hope this helps,

James.
[General Accessories] dealsmith:
Thanks

I will try this sequence and the careful pushing of the talk button tomorrow. I hope it works. Thanks for the valuable coaching.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] cesarpereira014:
Hi everyone,

Since I got this phone I always had this RAM management issue, my model is the basic with 2GB of ram and I understand that it has it's limitations, but I'm so annoyed right now.

Basically the phone can't keep apps running in background, usually if I have Spotify playing and than start browsing on Chrome, Spotify will forced close.

Even when the phone was fresh out of the box it's ram usage was pretty high, but now that I updated to official Android Oreo all just got worse. Now the apps background services are being killed and I just don't receive notifications from WhatsApp, multitasking doesn't exist here.

The screenshots show the RAM usage.

*A fun fact is my old Zenfone 5 with 2GB of RAM is running Nougat (Lineage OS) and when all apps are closed it has about 1GB of free ram while my new Zenfone 3 never get more than 400MB free and still closing the background apps.

Please somebody help me cause the Asus Zentalk forum couldn't help me, I feel like I'm the only one who's having this problem.

*Sorry for my english.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
Have you done the following :

1. Be very selective of what should be kept in the background through Auto-start manager

2. Customize power saving options, extreme power saving will possibly kill everything

3. Wipe cache partition

4. Keep reasonable free space.

5. Disable or remove bloatware (it's achievable without root now)

6. Use lightweight launcher like Evie or stock launcher

7. Avoid unnecessary additional theming

I could hardly think of anything else at the moment, maybe other can come up with better solution. My ze552kl has 4/64 so I don't really deal with this kind of issue but we all did on our older phones.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] cesarpereira014:
I already did all of this, I don't have a lot off apps, all the bloatware that I didn't use I have disabled. As I said, even when the phone was new it never had much available ram, but now with Oreo it got worse.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
Somebody correct me if I am wrong but ram in android is meant to be used. The more apps being allowed to run in background the more ram will be used to avoid opening the app from scratch. Most of us are so obssessed with free ram. The problem is not with free ram but with laggy experience. You may try one last thing in developer options, apps section and activate destroy activities as soon as user leaves it. Just another idea.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] urupz@@:
The truth that you can see amount mem free but it not free like that. Ex: i have 800mb ram free but actually it have only 150mb, that why it make the device laggy. You can use the app called "Disk info" with have option "Mem preferences" which can see the truth mem free. If you want to solve this easy just unmount zram file, creat swap file (recommend 1GB storage) and yes, root is needed.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] cesarpereira014:
I'm complaining about my apps crashing because lack of free ram, not because the number of free ram.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MOweenSalah:
Hi people.

So i'm having a problem with my S7 Edge and i don't think it is common. A few weeks back I was using my phone and it would suddenly turn off and the battery would be drained too. After this first incident with the problem it happened more often, and the phone would start doing boot loops to the point where the phone just froze and turned off. When these problems occured it will usually need to be a problem where I do a safe boot (Volume up, Home button and power key), and everything will be fine (or to charge it if the battery drained), but recently, the phone just didn't work at all, to the point I waited for the battery to drain (10 hours), and try charging it, nothing happens.

So firstly I was watching a video and checking my CPU/Battery tempretures to see if that was the problem (the tempretures at the time were around 31 degrees), and mid way through the video it bugged out through the audio in a high screech and turned itself off.

I tried turning it on again but no response to the screen, i tried safe booting it, or every alternative booting option, it did not work at all.

Here is all the diagnostics and repairs I did, but no luck:

- Tried turning it on

- Different boot options (Volume up/down, Home button & power key)

- Cleaning the port for moisture detection

- Replacing the battery for a new one (Genuine one)

- Doing all of the above, with it on charge

- Connecting to a PC, but no detection

One positive I found was that when i put the phone on a wireless station, it would change colour to show that the phone is charging. I have however took the wireless out of the phone as it was in the way of the battery, and safely in my draw.

Before this final fault happened, I did do a recovery to a previous Android version, just incase if it was a software fault, but it wasn't. The phone is not rooted and I had it since September of 2016.

Is there any alternative options to do? As i'm running out of ideas to do as every solution on the internet is to turn it on, which i can't whatsoever.

The warranty is voided also as there is a crack on the screen lens, and it's way too much to pay for a repair.

I need some explination of why this is happening, so I can go in the right direction and not to waste money if i was going to a repair service, or purchasing the parts for myself.

Any help would be highly appericiated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Check your installed apps to see if there any viruses on your phone. All you said are signs that your phone might have a virus (check how to remove it here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-phone-has-a-virus/

However, there is a chance that you do not have any viruses on your phone, but at least you have to isolate this possibility.

Did you recall installing any app prior to this behavior?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MOweenSalah:
This may be the case, however i can't turn on the phone at all. I tried every possible reboot possible, download mode, bios mode, safe boot, reboot, but nothing happens unfortunately. Unless i can do it whilst it is turned off, i can do something. I have a PC if i can do anything else with it.

I don't think I have installed any weird apps on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riso123:
sounds like a brick to me. Not a lot I can thing of you can do.

If you place the wireless card back in does it boot?

IT sounds like you've messed with the internals, so possible you damaged something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MOweenSalah:
I don't particularly think that I broke it from the inside as it was behaving the same before i opened it. And when i used the wireless charging, it will only indicate it was charging or getting detected on that charging pad and not on the phone regarding a red led, or the charging icon

Bluetooth depends on certain libraries that get replaced on install. Check a pure stock and assure that your phone works. Then reflash.

Otherwise, just upgrade and use the new magisk module approach after loading my kernel.
