Man, sorry it didnt work out for you either -- this method is definitely not for the faint of heart.. I'm glad you tackled it though.. However, how long did you 'wait' for the loca to spread? your second try is what i do -- slowly lower the protector (but with the triangle sponge) while holding the bottom corners with my thumb and index finger until the protector lays flat on the phone -- I lower the protector every few minutes.

Once the protector lays flat, i let go and wait.... wait.. and more waiting -- its not a instant process -- this loca is thicker so it takes a long time for it spread to the sides and top and bottom .. it spreads to the sides first and slowly makes its way towards the top and bottom -- slowly.. it might not seem like its moving, but it is..

Having done this install 5 times (possibly a 6th tonight), i havent had loca go into the speakers.

If the protector touches the screen with its own adhesive, thats fine and it can be fixed -- you have to wait until the loca has run its course .. once it has, 'cure' the good spots (like in the video - covering up the 'bad' spots so it doesnt cure) and then you can lift the protector (without it moving) and 'spread' surrounding loca with your finger (on top of the glass) to those spots that the adhesive touched.

It takes an extreme amount if time to do this method -- even with mess ups itll be over 30 minutes.

Like i said in an earlier post, if the adhesive touches the screen, its not the end of the world -- it CAN be fixed without all this 'mess' people are describing -- it just takes tiiiiime.

When i do this install for the 6th time, im going to record the process (from start to finish) and hope a lot of the adhesive touches the phone screen just so i can show and prove that it doesnt matter.

Thank you for the update -- I was hoping for good news!

Was anyone successful with this install excluding myself!? :confused: -- I might just take this post down if theres more unsuccessful attempts than good. So far (excluding myself) its 0-2 :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] KHANrad_SIN:
Update on my attempt:

I too have failed. I tried twice and the first time I got unlucky and ended up with a bubble smack in the middle as soon as I lowered the screen protector down. I didn't know what else to do so I lifted the protector to try to get it out but it all just went downhill from there because that just introduced more bubbles and I figure there was no hope. Tried it a second time but this time maybe it was because I didn't put enough LOCA but it was just not spreading completely. It spread out to the sides and about 3/4 lengthwise. Once it reached that point I waited about another 3-4 minutes but it was just not moving at all. So I tried lifting it and adding more LOCA but that just introduced bubbles like my first attempt and at that point I didn't know what to do. From my understanding once you lift the glass the LOCA aggregates and forms clumps making the surface uneven and wherever there is a dip is where a bubble will form once you put the screen protector back down. I also don't know if the LOCA is supposed to be leaking out the sides because that's what happened to me. The LOCA reaches the sides way before it reaches the top and bottom so while you're waiting for it to reach the top and bottom it starts to leak out the sides a little and I have to constantly wipe the sides. Is it supposed to be like this??

I guess I'll wait until the OP posts the video of how they did it. I might give it another shot and order another one, but if it doesn't work then I'll just move on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DanteXXL:
I can definitely see the potential in doing this because the parts covered by LOCA looked just fine. But I'm assuming people, including myself had no idea how to do this without at least some guidance, especially when the adhesive touched the screen before the LOCA could spread through.

It'd be nice if you could record your attempt and post it here.

Live and learn? Oh hell yeah. That's definitely why were are here. Some just don't learn more than others (search feature, people!)? But yeah I just wanted to share my experience for those on the fence and not having any clue what might happened and get disheartened by the littlest things.

Well I wouldn't say it didn't work out completely. As I mentioned above I definitely wouldn't mind having a crack (no pun intended) at it again knowing the things I do now. I may change a few things as an experiment. Things like instead of applying LOCA in way it come out circular in shape but maybe elongated (oval?) and also maybe ever so slightly bend the TGSP in the middle to prevent bubbles and to sort of help spread the LOCA more evenly and not at a snail's pace.

Overall the 2nd attempt wasn't too bad except for the initial time spent and the cleanup. I have no bubbles and the where the LOCA is applied just looks stunning compared to the others I've tried before. I just have the edges where I got lazy to use the card method.

Another thing, if you do cure a corner to do any adjustments be sure not to lift too much or twist/shift the TGSP because it will make the that part of the screen cloudy cuz you messed with the already cure LOCA.

And possibly maybe use a syringe with a larger gauge needle to add more LOCA where necessary.

Made my video over the weekend -- going to do a small edit to it (nothing too extravagant) and upload it when I get some time within a couple days

It turned out great (for the 6th time), but I'm afraid you wont be able to tell what i did towards the end to fix certain spots (i'll explain it though). So dont expect 1080p 60fps

-- This video just shows me installing the protector, removing the bubbles, and fixing spots that the protector touched that the loca didnt

-- With patients and time, you literally cannot "ruin it/waste money". Clean it up and try again - the only thing youd waste is time... time from 'giving up'. The protector isnt broken, and you have a lot of loca left -- clean it up and try again.

-- This install took a lot longer than normal (im ocd and extremely picky and the loca spread was painfully slow this time around lol -- again, it may not seem like its moving, but it is.. Dont wait 3-4 minutes.. wait 10-15 min and then youll see progression), so there will be a lot of time lapse in the video.

I also did a new install method -- the only thing I changed was instead of a circle when pouring the LOCA, i made an oval -- Honestly, it made no difference to me. However, it may be helpful to some keeping the protector lifted more from the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DanteXXL:
Cool, might need to see this soon since some bubbles just appeared out of the blue underneath my Dome Glass TGSP.

VIDEO!!

Hey, guys...

I finally have the video edited and uploaded.. Took a lot longer than I thought, but here it is!

https://youtu.be/-HeRHGDOltQ​

It's probably not what you expect, but i did my best with what i have.. Editing could have gone a lot better, but I just wanted to get this out.. Dont bash it too hard, its my first time uploading a video haha :silly:

I also changed pouring the loca from a circular shape, to an oval shape as suggested above. But to me, it didnt make a difference -- However, it could help others with the install.

Hope this clears up some uncertainty :fingers-crossed:

Hey,

so today twrp couldn´t decrypt my data so I wiped it.

After wiping it I can´t get through the set up wizard that appears at start-up.

It´s at the point where it asks if I wan´t to restore data from the cloud etc.

If I try to restore data from the cloud it just goes black after that point, If I don´t restore anything and want to set it up as new phone it just crashes and starts one point before that.

Is there anyway I can just set up my phone and use it?

Thank you very much.

Tile shortcuts- quick settings apps & shortcuts

You can place all the apps you use most in your quick tile panel. There are SO MANY quick settings apps, but the thing about this app is it doesnt use generic looking tiles, it uses your phones original quick tile icons. You are also able to customize the tiles to your own style, use your photos... I gave it a 5, because this is, in my opinion a very underrated tool.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] supaqoq:
Dear friends,

I have encountered an uncommon bug. Actually unsure whether it's a bug or not. Namely, when I download certain photos from the Google app on my OnePlus 5T, they do not get downloaded to local storage like other photos, but to the path written above. Furthermore, I am unable to delete these photos, unlike all other photos, and they can only be accessed through the Downloads app. The gallery does not list them. Has anyone encountered this error before? The images below show you my problem.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] supaqoq:
Says I do not have access.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Adnan008:
im sorry, i just checked and you cant acces that direction without root, so its not a bug because where you download photos from that app, its private to that app only location (unless to system apps or root with root-access apps) and you should be able to delete those with Downloads app, as far i can see from that photo, its cache photo so if you are not able to delete that photo (you should able to do that) then you should try to clear Downloads app's clear data from apps manager (you Can lose your downloaded data if they are not in normal Download folder or somewhere else in storage where all apps can access them)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] supaqoq:
So the question is: Why are photos downloaded from Google downloaded there.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Adnan008:
Are you sure that is the only copy? Because that file in cache folder, for example open fx Explorer enable hidden files go to dcim/.thumbnails you will see a lot of low res photos, including deletes ones

I'm finding my I-Blason Armorbox case cuts off part of the screen on the sides where the Edge curve is (and causes my screen protector to keep trying to come off after a perfect install) just enough that I can't read some things and blocks enough to be annoying. What cases provide awesome protection (I liked this one for the kickstand and all around protection (no screen protector included), but will allow for full screen mode? I'm not looking for one with a built-in screen protector as it seems to be hit and miss and don't really care for one. I put my own matte screen protectors on.

Any ideas? I am sending back the Armorbox case on Amazon tonight and would like to know what would be a good buy and won't block the screen edge and allow full screen view and full edge access.

Just purchased a new s9 regula version in Canada with the snapdragon 845. I realized on white pages the color shift significantly when I am viewing from the side. Kinda similar to the pixel 2 xl problem. Anyone having same issues as well ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Quad5Ny:
I am.

I know this is about the S9, but the S9+ is suffering from the same problem.

IMO the current batch of S9+'s [Tested 5 today] have a +2,100K color shift when you get 30 degrees off angle

.

My Galaxy S8+ has no such color shift.

---

I believe it has to do with the shape and angle of the pixels; also remember they don't have the same amount of sub-pixels for R,G,B.

OR

A red tinted coating under the glass/somewhere in the display stack that:

1) Gives the display a higher contrast

2) Makes the screen look darker when off

3) Makes display calibration easier because they don't need to take away as much blue to hit their D65-ish target

And compound to that the display is calibrated at 0°, so you go from around 6800K to 8800K (i.e. way more blue) really fast.

---

OR they recalled all the other displays they were using because of the digitizer issues and we're now stuck with inferior panels for awhile? A temporary supply chain change? Honestly I'm just making educated guesses here.

Samsung is being cheap or stupid. The Galaxy S8's screen is miles better with color shifts ..it basically has none. My S8 screen looks like a sticker, it is beautiful. The S9's on the other hand looks like a OK OLED display.

Attached below are measures in AMOLED Cinema mode with a white background going from 0° to 30° (dE is CIE2000, D65). -- Each picture is a different S9+.

Yellow is Luminance in cd/m2

RGB is how far in percent Red/Green/Blue are away from D65

Purple is CIEDE2000 (anything under 3 is a ok, anything under 1 is perfect)

Cyan is color temperature in Kelven (the higher the number the bluer the image).

Try replacing the battery (if your warranty is already voided) because opening up the phone breaks the warranty. I realize you have only owned the phone for 3 months, but if you rooted your phone, then your warranty has already been broken, so try replacing the battery and see if that helps.
