Clear jeweler's resin like this should work good: https://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Technology-02004-EnviroTex-Jewelry/dp/B007PZW60U The kind that mixes 2 clear liquids- resin and catalyst - will cure as hard as stone and stay clear.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sab3elbromba:
In my case I intend to cover up the crack with a Dbrand skin on the glass, my worry is that the glass will come out when I take the skin off so I just wanted something to hold it together, if this your case too then I suggest you try what I will in couple of days: Sugru

I tweeted my problem to ifixit and they were kind enough to reply with the suggestion to use sugru to hold the glass together : https://twitter.com/Sab3elbromba/status/1028976749873430528

When I did a little googling I found this: https://lifehacker.com/patch-your-broken-smartphone-screen-with-sugru-1440578257

It's not the prettiest thing in the world but I don't care as I will cover it up with a Dbrand skin anyways

I hope that was helpful and sorry for what happened
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 96carboard:
Use a CAR WINDSHIELD REPAIR KIT. It should be able to make that chip nearly invisible, and will also hold the glass together so it doesn't get any worse.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 2x4:
if you bought it with a credit card, it probably has accidental damage protection for the first 30 or 90 days
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrMagicPotato:
How about LOCA Glue? (LOCA stands for liquid optically clear adhesive)

It is used by most manufacturerers for their smartphones screens, to attach the glass to the lower OLED stratum specifically because it's completely invisible as the name implies.

I fear that the car windshield repair kit is going to disrupt the screen and penetrate too deep with the pressure applied to fill cracks. How do you feel about it?

Could you give me some pieces of advice for using it the best way? Thanks a lot for the support! [MENTION=713420]Sab3elbromba[/MENTION] [MENTION=9305891]96carboard[/MENTION]

Yeah cracked the top of mine yesterday. Stubborn me wasn't using a case. I'm gonna save up and just get it replaced. Was thinking about getting a Pixel 3 this year...guess not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MitchellArtz:
Not saying this is the right thing to do or that it will 100% work but, it for for sure a possibility.

1. Burn in the screen and RMA claiming a screen burn in.

2. Make something look defective and RMA it

3. Replace the screen yourself

Not suggesting any of these just listing options.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I'm really disappointed in the fragility of the glass around the speaker grilles. My cousin dropped his Pixel 2 XL with a Speck Presidio Grip case on, landing back first, and the glass around the top speaker cracked and spread a bit to the screen; even a chunk of glass fell out. From drop tests online, this area appears to break very easily. Why can't Samsung make Pixels? When comparing the Note 8 and Pixel 2 XL side by side, the screen on the 2 XL feels hollow and less reinforced. Google really should do what Motorola used to and offer one free replacement for accidental breakage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrMagicPotato:
Samsung is in direct competition with Google.

Just imagine if Samsung hardware got optimized directly by Google software. Wow. A Note 9 running pure Google's made Android. A dream.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
You're a magic potato you can make it happen!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :
Mine is in an Otterbox Symmetry and I dropped it many times , even on concrete and the glass is still like new.

Are the Speck cases suppose to be good ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
Speck cases are great and I've never had a phone break in one. The issue is that the glass around the speaker grilles on the Pixel 2 XL is a weak point and even landing back down is enough pressure to crack it. The back of the phone was completely fine oddly enough.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sab3elbromba:
I thought I'd share the rest of my story, I took ifixit's advise and used Sugru to fill the gaps in the glass and hold the cracked together and it worked perfectly, using Sugru was a great idea. I then applied a Matt Black Dbrand skin to the front glass and I have to say I'm rather pleased with the result, specially that I turned my black pixel 2 xl into a panda. Pictures attached.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bullfrog527:
So I've been having a couple big issues and haven't had any luck finding a solution on here or on the internet in general. My PH-1 is bone stock Sprint model. I've had it for almost a year, got it when it first came out.

The last 2 months or so the fingerprint sensor quit working and I can't make phone calls over any of my Bluetooth devices. Media playback works fine on everything, just phone calls go somewhere that I can't hear or the people I'm talking to can't hear me.

I've factory reset multiple times and reconnected to my devices fresh and still the issues persist.

I've flashed the factory images for 8.1 and now 9 and still the issues persist

Any input or help is appreciated, thanks in advance

[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] pietpietersen:
I love the Honor 10 camera and camera software,

but my previous phone had the option to take pics in a wider view than the honor 10.

Sort of like panorama, but only like 100degrees in Total, not 240degrees round like panorama effect if you know what i mean.

Can the honor 10 do this as well?
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] DashDashCZ:
No, unfortunately honor 10 doesn't have this feature.
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] pietpietersen:
too bad. Wideview should be standard onnecery decent phone imo.
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] fosterqaz11:
You could try panorama and cut it off after require amount of wide view
[Honor 10 Questions & Answers] gnondpomme:
In fact you don't have to make a full panorama view you can stop it whenever you want

There is also a way of making a picture in 18:9 format by choosing in the parameters but you have to disable the AI first

I just paired mine, the protocols were phone, text msg, and music. I don't use music so turned that off. But I can tell you that the usb settings, like mtp and charge, but also aptX (other settings for bluetooth), aren't persistent for some reason. The best workaround I've found is to bring up settings and change it back manually, and leave settings open. Seems to stick then until, yup, you close settings.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Hi all, I've seen that there are a few threads in this and other forums that are saying that using a particular other persist will help restore IMEI, Volte, or other lost functionality after installing a custom Rom and reverting back to stock nougat. As this sort of suggestion has resulted in many devices being permanently broken, I'm sharing a thread I made in potter.

Fix Persist, resolve IMEI=0, Explanation, Requirements

Now, the most important thing here is to NEVER EVER flash another device's persist. Your persist contains key files that have your IMEI data (in encrypted form), and it will not work with another device (or vice versa). In the thread above, I explain what has been happening, how to detect it, what can be done to fix (note - this may differ from device to device - I recommend not applying the fix until after other who have 'fully working devices' can confirm key details, such as the "rfs" user), and why other persist files gave the appearance of working (but were actually causing permanent damage).

Also note that the fix is for stock nougat. I have already seen in the cedric devices that the upcoming Oreo may apply the same type of fix on boot (i.e. changing ownership of key folders and files).

Happy to answer any questions if people ask. Please keep questions for this device in this thread.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Himanshu.Shukla:
Is there any hope to fix IMEI 0?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
It all depends on what you have or haven't done. If you flashed another persist, you're out of luck. If you haven't flashed another persist, back it up now and save it to the cloud so you never lose it. Then the principles in the guide may help. You can see if you are affected or not by following the section 1), as long as you are on a stock nougat rom.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jesslegentil:
Dude , thank you so much for that thread and Info. Finally someone is starting to explain the root cause of this IMEI/4G/Volte mess in our devices. Unfortunately I got my phone second hand and the dude had flashed a lineage ROM on it. He had mentioned radio problems but has said he had flashed the wrong modem and fixed it. The phone was 100% operational with the Lineage ROM he had on it so I didn't think much of and I figured since I've been rooting/flashing my phones since the day I got my first android, I could deal with it anyway. In any case, I soon went to flash an 8.1 ROM and discovered my IMEI gone. Eventually I found a few 8.1 ROMs that worked and I'm completely happy with AEX 5.2 which I'm on now. I have the EFS and Persist backups as of the moment I acquired the phone. I wondering though if there is a way to tell if my persist is the one that is supposed to be there or if the owner flashed a different persist? Also when I input the terminal command from your post it returns a list of folder within persist but no ownership tags as shown in your post.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
I think the only way to tell if the persist is definitely the one for the phone is to revert to stock nougat, follow the guide (I did find that one of the posters in the thread tried it on their sanders device and it worked for them - fortunately there is enough consistency so that the guide applies to many phones) to fix the folder ownership, then erase EFS and reboot. If your IMEI comes back, you're in luck. If it doesn't, hold onto your EFS backup for the rest of your phone's life!

(Also note that reverting to stock nougat should be done carefully. Don't downgrade the bootloader, otherwise you'll run into other problems..)

Also, just to emphasize, the output from the commands that list ownership is taken from nougat. Oreo has changed things, so it's not surprising if you get different things. E.g. Cedric's Oreo appears to not have an rfs user, instead it is using something like oem_2903.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pizzaboy192:
Just wanted to chime in and say that this has fixed my phone! I've had iffy VoLTE and other issues since going back to stock and couldn't even use custom ROMs since it wouldn't allow me to search for a network. This seems to have cleared it all up. Thanks!
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] xtasquee:
thanks a lot. I've had no lte data since the day I got the phone, but thanks to this it is fixed.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Folks, the rom above was a test version of the Oreo soak test that I made. Unfortunately it seems the is an issue on the build. I have pulled it for now. Hoping that a downgrade to stock nougat will help fix it. Goodness knows I'm trying to help with the IMEI issue, not contribute to it *facepalm*

Edit: user got everything back by flashing a nougat twrp flashable build. So issue was definitely just in that particular Oreo build

I have successfully executed this procedure and I got a hd calling option or an hd calling icon..is that correct??. Then I backed up the efs and again i got to custom ROM then and flashed the efs partition but no sign of volte or can't make call from Jio...

The question is can I use the efs partition which I recovered through this on a custom ROM?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Answer as per the other thread:

Yes, I get an H+ icon on my phone, so that would be what you'd want if the procedure worked. If Volte doesn't work on the custom rom, then it's a custom rom issue.

Hi guys. Reported success earlier in the thread but my issues came back. IMEI is there, everything functions properly in stock, but in non-stock I get an "error searching for network" that I didn't get before I flashed a broken gapps file that edited my persist file.

I know my persist partition is currently stock, and I'd like a copy of a working persist file from an xt1806 that I can copy my known good persist data to. Thanks!
