I'm sorry for that :( but initially it was great.. i also edited my review on Amazon site.. what a pity. maybe you can return them without even opening the pack? i think it would be better, i also have a cover but even with that dust is entering now..

last for me also, i already wasted lot of money for all kinds of glasses on these new *****ing curved screens, all have problems, next one will be the good old plastic protection, not so strong but at least covering the whole screen and without lifting edges.. :( and hope future phones will ship again with much better completely flat screens..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
Not your fault, don't worry at all! ? I had already put them in my Amazon wishlist before reading your review, wondering if they where worth a try or not.

I've always used traditional screen protectors without any issue (but this is the first time I've got a curved screen phone), so I think they're still the best solution, as long as the don't lift as well.

Illumi Aquashield

Got the XZ2c recently and read nearly all i could read about the screen protectors. I got myself the Illumie Aquashield, watched the instructions carefully and took my time to apply the protector. It went very well and you don't know it's there unless you really look.

I also applied the back protector since i don't use a case.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
interesting.. but I don't find it available in italy...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shizuku:
I just ordered it straightaway from their website or you can order it from Amazon.com and yes there will be shipping costs. It will take about a week to get to you.

There are 2 sets of protectors in the box for f.i. if you F it up, but when done as said in the manual it's a piece of cake.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
you mean inside the pack there are 2x front protection and 2x back protector? tia
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shizuku:
Yes.

2 back and 2 front protectors, a sqeezie and a cloth
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
thanks sir, I may try this last solution also. shipping would be 10 usd, so in total about 20 €.. I lost the count of all money I spent for protectors for this phone.. if I proceed with this too I will be close to 50 euros probably.. damn... if this fails also, I will sell this phone :mad: problem is that only other nice (pretty) compact phone I could get is the releasing pixel 3, and that has curved side also... WTF!!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
You can still get a full refund from Zanasta, can't you? I've done it for other sellers (VLC, for example).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
don't think so? I opened the package and used one glass already...? I have always thought for the refund you have to return the item complete?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shizuku:
Keep ur chin up dude.

As i wrote: watch and follow the instructions and bobs ur uncle.

I did with a good glass wine.... Works wonders LOL
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
Not necessarily. There's a reply to a question I've asked on the Amazon product page that says (sorry for the non-Italian speakers):

Quelli che avevo comprato(2 pezzi) non aderivano per niente, richiesto il reso che hanno accettato.​
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] YammyDVY:
Hey if you're still looking for screen protectors...

The one op (the very first post) made is imo the best in terms of halo effect (none), but yeah 2mm of the display is not covered but honestly that isn't as bad as the halo effect.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
I've just applied one of them. It looks so much alike the one I have been using so far, by VLP, https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07DZVPN61/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nkpRBb9EE3E3D

(mine was completely transparent, i.e. without the black corning, but it's essentially the same item),

which has collected every particle of dust it could grab:

[IMG="VLP: a dust collector"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bzc5j4wsorrgta/DSC_0056.JPG?dl=0[/IMG]

Before opening the box with the protectors from Saxonia, and after reading your reviews on Amazon.it and here, I've attempted to understand how to proceed to get a refund, if I was not satisfied by the quality of the product. I'll post the screenshot of the email I've received, as well (sorry again for the non-Italian users: it essentially says that, in case of problems, I should send them a picture of the faulty screen protector and they'll give my money back or opt for a substitution):

[IMG="reply from Saxonia"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/55yhkt2ep4s84ja/Screenshot_20180927-162346.png?dl=0[/IMG]

Hope you'll get your money back, if you haven't done it yet. You have 30 days after your purchase for a complaint.

At the moment I'm typing with Saxonia's screen protector on: I think it's better than Zanasta's, as for the sensitivity side and the absence of halo, but it has a smaller sticky surface than that (near the front microphone, front camera and (?) the proximity sensor, Zanasta's protector was sticky too, as you can see from the first picture.) and it's less oleophobic.

Could you post some pictures of those on your Xperia? I think I'll try them as my last attempt of Saxonia's fails (again). Thank you!

P. S.: I think I have an issue with posting images: this feature doesn't seem to work. Any help?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
isn't zanasta and saxonia the same thing? mine were named zanasta but sold by saxonia..

btw i started the return procedure but I should pay for the shipment back to Germany lol, so i gave up, nonsense..

I'll maybe write them if they can refund or send me something different/better, but i have few hopes, after all it is just a dozen euros.. problem is that 10 euros here and 10 there.. so much money money thrown in the garbage in total :|

next ones will be tpu/wet/gel also for me, but not from that site, too expensive considering i already wasted a lot of money.. hope to find something similar and cheaper in amazon.it :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
I totally understand your point. I'm pissed off, too.

I think Zanasta/Saxonia are the same thing, maybe the seller is Saxonia, Zanasta is the brand. I didn't know about the shipping expenses: if they're less than 5€, I'll return them back: the one I've applied is collecting dust already. :rolleyes:

I thought you would give a try to the Illumishield ones, as suggested by [MENTION=254513]shizuku[/MENTION]. From Amazon.com you can get them for about 16€, shipping included: https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Protector-iLLumiShield-Anti-Bubble-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B07BHB1GCM

If Zanasta/Saxonia/whatever fails, I'll purchase them as my last attempt for full-screen tempered glass protectors, and if they fail I'll try a tpu cover. If this, too, fails, I'd prefer using the screen naked (it's much more beautiful and my mental health is what I care for more), otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to spend more and more money and I'll soon top the smartphone price if I go on with this. :mad:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
I also thought about leaving the phone without protection, but I can't... it is stronger than me, I am maniac with the phone and don't want to ruin the screen, also I often give it to my baby who sometimes drop it to the floor.... lukily I had the glass protection so far! :silly::(:laugh:

i need new protection soon, as I already used the three zanasta I got and last one is already getting apart, so I can't wait for oversee shipments, if I don't find a cheap tpu protection I will maybe get again one of those smaller/narrower glasses I have already used at first that yes collect dust on the sides but at least they don't get away from the phone like these ones!

then I am pretty frustrated already so I will maybe wait until I get a new (easily rootable) phone, maybe the pixel 3... and sell this, problem is that also pixel 3 will have damn curved edges my god! :crying::crying: don't know what to do but I need solutions fast if you find one earlier please share feedbacks! :o

Sure. I tried to make some macros.:

You can see the protector going thru the curves but not all the way to the alu rim. In reality i don't notice and hardly feel it.

There is absolutely no halo effect. When looking closely to the protector itself, you can see it's not as smooth as glass and you see only that effect when keeping the phone in a certain angle under certain lighting.

But that has no negative effect on brightness, colors en sharpness of the screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
seems nice! I had one in my previous s7. yes it is not as clear as glass, and it was softer of course, but at least it doesn't disconnect or collect dust etc

hope to find a similar option here in italy not too expensive to test and finally possibly get satisfied!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
Thank you so so much. This is beautiful. I'm going to get those!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] mrnld:
I've just applied my first Illumishield tpu protection (about 10 minutes ago). I couldn't wait and had to turn on my device.

Is it normal that, immediately after the installation, my whites on the screen as not exactly white, but they're more as if there's something (liquid... still? After all the squeezing? ) underneath? I've had to remove the protection to realign, sprying it again with the solution and cleaning again the screen with the cloth. That's been quite messy.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] FcukBloat:
my wet protection needed a few hours to completely dry, in the video it clearly said to wait before using the phone, i think in your case you just have to wait and will be the same!?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shizuku:
In my case it took about a day to "cure",

But i squeezed the liquid away rather gently.

I also used quite a lot of it and patience
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] Sydrox:
Can please you post a picture of the screen protector on your phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shizuku:
See post 60 for pictures.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] shalemaci:
Hi,

I had some troubles with screens too.

First I tried a glass cover (olixar one), good protection but not really sexy and some dust all around the screen, for 20 euros...

Then I tried these films screen protector, first from IQShield, had some troubles with two, then I changed for Illumishield films, and everything works fine now.

You have to be carefull when you put the device in your pocket, I had some papers/tissues going under the screen, I lost two films like this.

I also wait almost 2 days without putting the device in my bag or my pocket, just to be sure that the film is correctly applying.

If you aren't clumsy, I think these films protector are quite enough for daily use. And the device keep better looking than with glass.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] анонимное-f22fcdce:
It is not listed on it official website but still purchasable at B&H. I bought one but discovered that only the edge have adhesive, which makes me worry will it fall out easily.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] RupturedSpleen:
Anyone find any good glass solutions since 8 months ago??

Just bought a xz2 compact. Having a hell of a time finding any good protection for this thing.

Did anybody ever find any good glass protectors?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Accessories] Magchild:
I just applied the Olixar this morning replacing the Supershieldz. The Supershieldz screen protector had an issue in which it didn't quite reach the corners, whereas the Olixar does. It seems pretty responsive, but I'll see how it holds up over time.

Thanks for the tool, I used it in my mi max, it didn´t have many restriction about the size, now it´s very difficult to get a png of 15kb for logo2 with some of quality but I don´t know if is a limitation of the tool or a size restrictions on new splash partition and don´t work to extract splash.img.

Resolution in this device is 1080x2160 so it displays two lines in black in the top and bottom of the image, if it is possible to fix it but anyway so thanks to the developer. I share my ugly image, it´s all I could get by now to overwrite at least "miui...unlocked" black panel.

is possible to disable the default "fading effect"? i did everything and successfully flashed, but i don't want this effect when it turn on, i want like the original without any effect
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] GokulNC:
You have to drag and drop your splash.img on the EXTRACT_LOGO.bat for it to extract :)

Make sure the splash.img is inside the same folder as that script.

If you use a logo.png with resolution 1080x2160, it will work good I guess.

Anyway, I have modified all the resolution of stock pics to 1080x2160 in the tool.

Here you go for Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred)

It has nothing to do with the splash.img; it's just how the bootloader renders it.

Everything worked smoothly and I was able to change the boot logo. The only thing that's bugging me now is the boot logo reveal once the power button is pressed. It wipes down to reveal the full boot logo. This wasn't obtrusive before on the default MI logo but since I have a white bg Google logo it looks very silly. Is there anyway to change this to just an instant reveal without any reveal animation?

Hi All,

I love LOVE LOOOOVE the new WM6.1 rom but I'm having some severe signal issues.

My phone will read 3 or even 4 bars but most of the time when I try to make a call I get the fast busy signal. I have to attempt each call 2 or more times before it goes through.

The tmobile rom / radio has by far the best reception for my device. I get 2 bars at my home with the tmo-rom with the wm6.1 I get just a spec of a bar.

Sooooooo How can I flash the tmo radio to the wm6.1

[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] kris2002:
Hi, Do yourself such cable from a normal USB micro usb cable:

Deep Flash USB http://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html

It is normal USB cable, but shorten together black and green lines.

Be sure you have one more unmodified normal micro usb cable.

1. Then plug in modified cable in PC usb and connect the phone.

2. push Vol+, Vol- and Power buttons together for more than 15sec, eg. 20sec.

Even the screen is dark and no activity (like your device is in power-off ) is displayed, the magic should happen.

3. Then connect normal USB cable to PC and plug the phone.

4. Download (if you don't have it) latest official ROM. And unzip it.

5. Now important : DO NOT USE MiFlash at all.

6. Find and Click right mouse button on flash_all.bat file and select 'Run as administrator'

7. Wait until device is get flashed.

Reboot it if needed.

Ask if something goes wrong.

What do you mean by Google certification? Are you interested if this phone would run Google Play, services and the whole suite of Google apps? It does.

G Rom has Google built in and every Google thing works as expected.

A Rom comes Google free, but you can install Google Store and all other Google things easily (by apk).
