i put a whitestone on my s9+ and i broke it next day, removed with absolutely no residue on the phone screen. surprised by that

biggest problem with the whitestone is the "lifetime warranty" they make you return the broken glass before sending replacement, terrible. i would much rather pay the shipping fee and send pictures of it broken to confirm warranty and continue using until replacement arrives (to still protect somewhat)

for the $50 price the whitestone costs they need to revise the warranty claim process. i would rather buy my own loca and source $2 tgsp that is all clear. the whitestone glass does seem to be very hydrophobic and smooth feel.

hopefully the whitestone rep in here reads this

I've been looking for a non-glass screen protector with an oleophobic coating. This protector claims to be one. Would you say it is true and as good as glass variants?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] radiohead14:
look at my previous post above #58. that zuslab one is better I found than the first I linked. and yes, so far it's smooth and oleophobic. cheaper too
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] wmharley:
I am going to have to downgrade this review later on. Today at the office, from about waist height to the office carpet (hard industrial), my S9 fell. the horrors. Luckily its protected by the Spigen Tough armor and it fell on its side then bounced face down. When I picked it up, I noticed the screen protector slid down about a 1/4". I've had a feeling that it was coming loose, but this definitly did it.

I will give it points that the screen protector wasn't cracked, but still. Now is my excuse to put the Whitestone unit on. I'll put it on more likely tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] ThatGuitarGuy:
Totally go with a full adhesive one like the Whitestone Dome. The S9 has a fantastic screen, so it would really stink to cover it up with a subpar screen protector that gets hazy, adds an air gap, a dot matrix, puts black borders around it, etc. I really think that messes with the experience of it all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] kelvrick:
I ordered the Ringke Invisible Defender Full Cover last night and will be installing it on 2 s9's. I wanted to go whitestone dome, but with 2 phones in the house, $90 is too much to have a wasted extra set of installation accessories. I like how the wings will wrap around the phone to prevent edge lifting when you swipe in. I'll post a picture and thoughts when I can.

I got a ''liquid'' film protection that I installed yesterday, unfortunately it got couple of dusts trapped under while applying it, as it's a liquid solution I can peel it off and re-use it, but how to take out the dusts that are sticked to the film? should I spray a lot of water on them so they slide out? once I take the film off the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] waylo:
Use some Scotch tape to stick onto the area with the dust spots. Same trick works great with dry protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] vegetaleb:
Thanks

unfortunately it was too late, I peeled off the whole film, sprayed it with tons of water but it slipped from my hand and felt on my jeans, now it's full of sticky dust, I will have to use the second (and final) film of the pack, hoping no dust will come this time during the operation
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] wschom:
Depending on the film you can just wash it off with tap water to get rid of the dust. I know you can do this with the Skinomi screen protectors.

Spigen Nano liquid

Has anyone tried this? I got a minor scratch on my last phone about two weeks into owning it and it pissed me off for about two years. I just bought the s9 and would like to have some protection but not compromise the screen view.

Other suggestions highly appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Tel864:
I've noticed several people talking about dust under their protectors and here's what I do. I always turn the shower on hot for a few minutes and let some steam build up in the the bathroom, then do the installation on my bathroom counter. With a little steam in the air, there shouldn't be any random dust floating around. I've always done this and I've never had a problem with dust. I've screwed up my share of protectors but never from dust.

Hi All, I'm in UK, As i understand xdoria 360 (clear front and back) clip together case / screen protector has been discontinued on certain models, i had two over a period of time for my Samsung S6, I have since upgraded my phone to the S9, I'm really pleased with it, i'm searching hi and low for yet another case from xdoria - (basically the same as i had the s6 edge but in a S9 Version), i have seen one or two on ebay, but to purchase and wait for delivery can be 6-8 weeks, the price for me is reasonable, delivery is either from China or Hong Kong, i'm looking for this but closer to home, i currently have a £6 case on my S9 covering the back and still have the peelable front that came with the phone from the box, any help would be greatly appreciated - i hope the link is ok to post - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X-doria-...hash=item3ad712289b:m:myJtZX4BrnYrz1BuON62bKw but it is this that i'm after, i've searched for days and i'm losing the will to live, the alternative is a liquid screen protector from a local store, but i am not as confident, would really welcome any help or support for this case / cover or an alternative but must be front and back (clear)

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] kelvrick:
Sorry about that. I completely forgot to update the community.

Cliffs: I like it enough and will be ordering it again. The application is harder than glass and wet tpu applications and there is bubbling at the very left and right edges, but not noticeable during use.

Novel:

Feel - 4/5 it feels nice. Not glass nice, but games are no problem and I don't feel like I've lost much. It definitely feels like rubber if I run my fingernail along it, but being a male who doesn't play guitar, I have no issues with that. I haven't had any "grease" issues yet.

Durability - 3.5/5 The main part of my screen still looks and feels good. However, the edges have developed some lifting. All of it from rubbing against something else in my pocket. I usually keep the phone in a separate pocket, but I believe my HVAC was having issues, so I was climbing around with a lot of tools in my pockets. There was another phone and I think it was the rubber case that would catch on the edges and pull at it. I usually hate dust accumulation along the edges, but I believe the wings extended to the back of the phone and eliminating that exposure from the left and right sides at least, helps.

Application - 2/5 I mainly have experience with tempered glass and wet application, but this guy was extra frustrating. I normally apply in the buff after I take a shower to keep the air dust free. However, I mainly blame the cheap "microfiber" cloth provided that just seemed to shed tiny bits of fabric everywhere. Getting rid of that the second time (second 3 pack) made things much better. My main tip would be to take your time when removing the top protective layer from the material. Lifting that up seemed to pull the screen protector up and introduce bubbles all over again. I found that taking it slow and going back and forth to get rid of all bubbles in a section before continuing was key. I was never able to get the edges completely bubble free because of the way the s9 curves and then has an ridge. However, I found that I don't notice it when actually using the phone because the the reflections from the screen curvature and that the actual screen stops short of that area. Also, with the extra long wings, I found that the bubbles haven't gotten any worse.

See pictures for lifting, screen quality and edge bubbles.

Currently using with this case:

There is a wet variant which I used and loves but seems it is not available in Amazon or online store yet
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] caseyatbt:
Where did you purchase it? Like I said, I am used to the wet apply but don't like the orange peel finish so I am not sure which way to go. I love glass protectors but on the curved screen it sounds like the only way to go is very expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Zenroid:
I got it directly from the ringke official shop of taobao from China
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] force70:
Well here in Canada the device is $1200, the domeglass is like $50.

Hardly expensive, and if you can afford to drop the money for the phone shouldn't be a big deal really.

Also i dont know what a screen replacement would cost but id wager alot more than $50!

But im definitely with you on the orange peel, totally ruins the experience of the best smartphone display.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] 96cobra:
Yes, I used that on my S9. It went on easy and dried completely in a few hours (applied it right before I went to bed & fully dry when I woke up). I used it for a couple of weeks, but just hate the feel of the plastic/rubber type protectors.

I decided to go with the Whitestone Dome and it is worth the $ to me. It has been on for close to 2 months now and still looks like the day it was installed. It works fine with my Diztronic, Spigen Tough Armor, and Otterbox Defender.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] fusiondynamics:
You guys can source loca for about $8 on ebay for 50ml and tempered glass protectors for about $2-5 and make your own kit. The huge loca tube should do at least 15-20 installs. Don't forget a UV light to cure the glue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] force70:
You realize there are numerous versions of Loca right? And not all of them will work like you think.

[Hardware Hacking General] ewokmojo:
Charging faster by shorting data wires in charger cables.

I've seen recently on videos on youtube the practice of slicing USB charger cables and shorting the green and white wires ( slicing them, covering them with electrical tape)- the idea being the device's recognition of a possible data connection slows charging. There is also video of using foil on the larger USB end's central two pins (the data pins), to short that way. The videos are all old. In one the guy uses an app to tell us the amperage had increased from 4 amps (bull****) to 8 amps (bull**** more). ?

Questions.

Are the data wires in the charge cable always green and white? Really? Um..

Has anyone actually tried this?

thank you

(Edit: )

And the videos I referred to above-

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-9-rfImR86g

(Splicing wires)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eg4jF25AW4c

(Using aluminum or aluminum tape to short the USB connector itself)

another example- http://swimminginthought.com/fixing-usb-cable-making-fast-charge-cable/
[Hardware Hacking General] 9volts:
Rubbish.

Even if you ruin a perfectly good cord, and do cut the data lines, it won't help. The data lines are not used by the charging circuitry anyway!

Also, some cables use different colored wires.
[Hardware Hacking General] orseenypi:
if it has smart charger it might work. the data cables can create a resistance to tell the battery percentage. so when he creates a short, it sees a full resistance and it means fully discharged. so it charges with full amp.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randoms123:
Hi,

I rooted using the wug tool and have had to unrrot.

I bought my Nexus from CEX and its started getting screen bleed around all edges so I'm going to take it back to CEX and their warranty says if a phones ever had custom ROM or anything installed it invalidates the 2 year warranty and they thoroughly check the phone when you take it back.

Unroot and relocking the bootloader worked fine but when I went in to stock recovery and check recovery logs there was cache/recovery/last_log.1 which when read you can tell that it's had twrp installed and uninstalled and that the bootloader has been relocked.

I've used stock recovery from bootloader to wipe cache etc and done a reset again but cache/recovery/last_log.1 is still there but now with cache/recovery/last_log showing the log of stock recovery reset.

I don't mind cache/recovery/last_log showing as that's standard but cache/recovery/last_log.1 clearly shows that I'd had a custom rom (lineage) flashed and unflashed and relocked bootloader.

I'm happy to root again, I know doing that I'll be able to delete the cache/recovery/last_log.1 possibly but when I unroot and relock I'm guessing that it'll make another log showing that's happened.

Bootloader shows its locked but the recovery logs will be a problem if CEX check them, I doubt they will fix or refund me the price I paid because it clearly shows its been rooted. Wipe cache doesn't get rid of the log and 2 stock resets didn't get rid off the log, just created cache/recovery/last_log.

I did search but can't find any way to get rid of that log or to unroot and relock without another log being made.

I hope someone can help?

I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has the keyboard dock for the n-8010 that you're no longer in need of, I'm interested in purchasing one. I believe it's Samsung part EKD-K14AWEGTGY or perhaps EKD-K14UWEGSTD would work as well.

All of the docks in eBay are for Galaxy Tab 10.1 and those won't work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] ffonz:
Hi, I have one. I bought it a few years ago, but I think you will be disappointed: is almost useless. When you connect the dock, the soft keyboard always comes up (at least with the original rom). This is very annoying. I don't know if it works better with other roms. Maybe I know that soon, because I am fed up with the original rom: more and more websites don't work properly anymore. I'm trying to install Lineage, but I still have to do some reading...

Oh, and if I remember well, the key buttons are of poor quality: often you will get a character twice. Like this: Hoow aare youu?

But I do live in the Netherlands, so that's a long way for you.

Ffonz.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] kelltech:
If you do make the change to Lineage, you'll have a feature that will allow you to quickly switch the on screen keyboard on and off. It's a good OS and I am happy with it. By now, I'm almost ready to replace my Note 10.1 with something that has more than 16gb of storage, even though I still like this tablet.

Try holding volume down+home+power buttons. When the phone reboots again, it should go into the download mode. When in the download mode, you should flash a compatible ROM via Odin (possibly from sammobile.com). This should fix the problem.
