[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] nimagooy:
Wondering if you guys are using the phone with or without screen protection? I just got my phone and just love the way it the screen feels without anything else on it. Will the screen get scratches easily without protection? I'm not sure what kind of glass this is.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] dxdy:
no matter which glass is, sometimes get scratches... no one screen 100% scratch protected...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] ruicc:
Yeah, i'm using a tempered screen protector
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] MallocVoidstar:
I'm using without screen protector. No scratches, but I take care of my phones well. (Except for when I dropped metal on my last phone and broke part of the screen, but surely I won't do that twice)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] LormaD:
The Mi Mix phones are very prone to screen breakage, so take any and all precautions.

I shattered two screens on the Mi Mix, one that the digitizer stopped working (a 3.5 foot drop), had film type screen protector.

I tried the Mi mix 2, and used a glass type screen protector. The phone had the original Mi Mix 2 case, and had a drop, the screen protector broke... sheesh.

I now have the Mi Mix 2s, and I ordered an aftermarket case that surround the top edge of the screen creating a lip (the phone laying flat on a flat surface, the screen will not touch).

I bought liquid screen protector, and gave the phone screen 5 treatments over a 12 hour period.

I also installed a glass screen protector while I wait for the 5D screen protector to arrive in the mail.

I am compromising less on the case this time, and going for more protection. In the past, I have used the oem case, keeping everything slim and compact. But because these phones are not easy to service (parts are hard to come buy, and tech are not all capable of working on these phones), I am waiting on the newest case to arrive. I went with a clear tpu bumper type case, that has added protection on the corners, comes with metal button backing for magnetic holders, and a ring holder.

Screen protector will help, but a proper case is mandatory.

Cheers,

LormaD

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] LormaD:
The case, for me anyways (I had on a Mi Mix) is not enough protection in drop. I had THAT type of case, on my Mi Mix and the screen and digitizer broke from a 3.0' drop onto tile floor, hit the corner of the phone screen (it was a dead drop fall, not a toss type fall) rendering the phone completely inoperable.

The Mi Mix is / was a heavy phone, and the Mix 2 & Mix 2S are no light weights either.

I have to go with something that has a little more corner edge protection (a fall landing on the corners is a no mercy fall, it will probably sustain damage), whereas if the phone lands on it's edge flush there is considerably less damage sustained.

I wish TECH21 would of made a case for the Mi Mix 2s, there suspension absorption design is second to none, and they look amazing to boot.

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] tvladan:
The problem with all the screen protectors i bought so far is that they all seem to be build for the mix 2, not the mix 2s. And the display of the 2s is slightly larger so there is no 100% percentage coverage in any of them. Have the phone for about 2 weeks now, already changed 4 glass protector, all of them suck because they are a little bit smaller than the screen or the roundness of the corners is smaller than the actual screen. Awaiting for alien surface to possibly launch a protector dedicated to mix 2s. Until than i'll rather risk and use the phone with no protector than use it with a ugly as hell one.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] dxdy:
all screen protectors for 2S fit 100% for my device..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] tvladan:
I was talking about protectors made for mix 2 being sold as compatible fir mix 2s and they just aren't. I should know sice I exauasted all the mix 2s variants being sold in my country and for the sake of experimenting i bought 2 models for the mix 2 hoping they'll fit somehow the mix 2s. Well they don't. I am still hopeless in finding a screen protector that doesn't look an feel like crap for this phone. At least one bought directly from vendors in Romania wherei live. Never had this kind of problem with the mi5 that i previously used. And i feel reluctant i paying 15 dollars for shipping from Amazon or eBay since i have no way of knowing those are any better than the ones i bought so far. So if anybody has a good protector with the link from where it was bought... Feel free to help. Thanks v
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] tvladan:
Thank you for taking the time to post this!

This is by far the best screen protector for mix2s i've seen. Thanks again for your trouble to post it!

Meanwhile i got this

https://aliensurface.ro/produs/xiao...-hd.html#/26-alege_acoperirea_telefoane-ecran

It's made by some Romanian company but it's an interesting concept. It looks great on the phone, it feels great, unfortunately it's just plastic not glass, so I fear it has zero protection against drops, but other than that it's a great product. And no, the phone was not damaged in any way while I had to spray the liquid on the screen to install it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] CHT45:
Without a case? TG(Tempered Glass) protector is a must have.

With the default case, one could get away with a plastic protector. I would personally still get a TG one though.

With a case that offers good protection, a protector might not be required.

Disclaimer: That is my opinion, and should not be taken as facts.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories] XDRdaniel:
I had a mix 2 before this and let me tell you, you will get scratches no matter how careful you are. My gf bought an iPhone 8 plus at the same time I got mi mix 2 and hers looked much much worse, but you do get fine scratches over time. The ceramic on the back is really tough though.

Hi, I've noticed that PhoneMore lists all the same bands for the G9650 as the US issued G965U, including the CDMA bands that are not present in international variants. Does this actually mean that the G9650 will work on Verizon in the US?

I bought the G950 dual SIM and wanted to verify it this worked on Verizon because all the bands are listed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Stasi_bz:
Hello people, I need your help urgently.

A friend bought a used s8.

The old owner was still logged in with his account.

She tried in vain to achieve this, without success.

Since she is an "all alone" girl she has made a factory reset and behold, locked.

Now she started with Odin and Rome ..

End of lies, the device was stuck in an error message.

Now I got it.

Then I tried with twrp and Custom Rome, without success

The "OEM lock" is still set.

From the outside, I no longer have access.

Then I installed official Roms and at least managed to start it normally, initialized something and installed it up to another error message and slipped into a bootloop.

So, does anyone have an idea?

Because, I think that was it ..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] akshitmehra:
Hi all,

Did anyone notice the blue tint/colour shift on screen when tilting Galaxy S9, even slightly? It is very prominent and appears on the edges when viewing from front, especially on white screens. Exactly the same kind of issue which I heard about Pixel 2 XL.

I tried to adjust as many settings as I can, but no luck. Even the bootloader screen with SAMSUNG logo and PIN verification screen behaves the same, which means it's not a software issue. Also, I took my phone to service centre, but they say all Galaxy S9s behave the same.

Is this issue with every Galaxy S9? If yes, this is not at all the best screen, even my Nexus 5X's screen performed much better. Trying to attach pictures to try to show you the exact issue.

Edit:

Model number: SM-G960F

Bought in India

Manufactured in India

Thank you

Enable developer options, enable USB Debugging, connect running phone to the computer with ADB installed, issue "adb reboot recovery" command in the command line.

Once recovery loads, hold power button and at the same time press (not hold) volume up button. You will see recovery menu, choose "update from adb" option by using volume and power keys, then issue "adb sideload zip_file_path" command on your computer and wait until it finishes. Then choose reboot from the recovery menu.

Nokia 8 TS-1012 did not update to Android 8.1.0

My Nokia 8 TA-1012 failed to update to Android 8.1.0 during the Feburary 2018 OTA rollout.

A travel sim inserted into the phone initiated the OTA update of the March and April security updates into Android 8.0.0 ( current installed build 00WW_4_390_SP04 ).

The phone will now not update to Android 8.1.0 or to the June 2018 security updates via OTA.

Tried updating using file "Nokia8_Android_8.1_Oreo_v4.84A_Update.zip" but sdcard install fails with error stating the install file is older then the current build.

Assuming the problem relates to the previously installed March and April 2018 security updates.

Do you have available a zip file suitable for sdcard that can update the 1012 to Android 8.1 with, perhaps, the June security update?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] revanmj:

adb sideload or installing from SD card never required unlocked bootloader if you had OTA package signed by OEM. Only using fastboot flash or trying to install unsigned ZIP through recover does.

Yes.

Without unlocked bootloader and custom recovery you can flash only official signed updates.

So It must be official.

Hi. I'm having some problems with my Nokia 8 (TA-1012), not rooted, just a couple of months old. I did a OTA update to 8.1 (V4.88B) and like this person (community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000027466) my phone is stuck on the Nokia logo.

I can boot into recovery mode (Nokia/NB1_00WW_FIH/NB1 8.1.0/OPR1.170623.026/00WW_4_88B) and I suppose that "Wipe data/factory reset" will fix my problem. But I have some files that were not backed up and I would like to try and recover them.

If I try to re-apply this update from SD card or ADB, will it wipe my data? Will it void my warranty?

Is there any way to download the files using adb (adb pull?) or other method? I can also enter "Download Mode" (by pressing Volume Down while plugging USB) not sure what is used for. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I posted, on another thread, a log that shows a problem with some class related to migrating wifi configs https://xdaforums.com/nokia-8/help/nokia-8-stuck-boot-loop-camera-update-t3803059/post76825692. I'm no longer sure that uploading this zip from recovery, without factory reset, will fix the problem. I'm just exploring ways to flash a working firmware, without clearing user data and preferably without affecting my warranty.
