[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lambstone:
Did you have any issues with the spigen? For me the sides aren't adhering properly.

With your scratches on the glass, the p20 pro does have gorilla glass and all gorilla glass phones out there can get scratches especially with bits of sand and random stuff in your pocket.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deraiz12:
I have any problem with spigen glass all seem very good. But for your search on you I have already see the solution.

And for the scratch on screen I use them like my old S8 and my S8 had no scratch or small not the same as my P20 pro. i really like my P20 pro except for this point!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lambstone:

This is by far the best glass for p20 pro.

Perfect fit, great quality and rounded edges.

Just search 5d p20 pro on AliExpress, and look for this type, you won't find this good stuff in Europe or US

I've been using the Nilliken glass screen protector. Tried the other crap that doesn't adhere to the edges. The Nilliken is only 0.2 mm thick which probably helps adhering near the edges.

Used it on my P10+ and my wife's iPhone SE and great oleophobic feature which is part of the Japanese glass and not just a coating.

Installed it on my P20 off centre and it still adheres to the edges. Worth the $25.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
Nillkin is smaller than the screen. Actualy a lot smaller than the actual screen. Aestheticaly is crap. Functionaly is just like all other protectors.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] November91:
I bought one from Spigen, dont know that firm but im very happy. they also have a great concept on how to get the glass on the phone much easier by having sort of "handles" on the protective plastic on the glass. Plus i bought the case too, perfect fit, very robust, and works like a charm with the tempered glass

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] h2oflyer:
I disagree.... Not a lot smaller than the screen... Goes right up to curved edge. Wife has one on her iPhone for 2 yrs and oleophobic feature is still great.

Aestheticaly is better than most crap. Doubt if you have really tried one.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
I have tried two on my p20 pro and one on my oneplus 3. Both with the same problem. They were marginally fitting on the actual screen. (i don't mean the black border of the screen. Not even close. I mean the actual screen) in general I'm a very protective user for all of my phones and even when I change for a new model, the last one is in perfect factory condition. After several amoled models that I've owned, (Samsung, huawei and oneplus) due to the curved edges of those screens, I have come to a conclusion.... I never use a tempered glass anymore. In worst case I've used iq shield wet membrane and never had any problems. In fact let's remember what everyone was doing when tempered glass wasn't around and we only had gorilla glass. I believe it's an artificialy created need, and after all these years I even dought even the idea behind the application of tempered glass. When a phone drops, if the forces are applied in that way and strength that a screen would crack it would crack. No extra glass will save you. Actually the way these glasses are applied on the screen can't prevent that. As far as scratches concerned, if gorrila glass can save you, then it's the same for every temp glass. If the one can't, so it's the other. (the only benefit it's that the temp glass you can easily change it). gorilla glass is a well documented patent with thousands of applications in daily life. I dought the same for all those generic glasses out in the market. (as for the well established companies like nilkin or spiegen etc etc, as I told above I highly dought its effectiveness for the reason I explained above.)

Its only my personal opinion from personal experience with various models from Samsung, oneplus and huawei. And for the last 10 years it served me very well.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] h2oflyer:
First... I installed the Nillkin on my P20, not the Pro. It fits perfect and covers the black edges like it did on my P10+ and the SE. Can't speak for the Pro, but I doubt that Nillkin would design that one smaller!!

Second... US Corning makes Gorilla glass and Japan AGC makes Dragontrail, both great screen glasses. On both the oleophobic feature is part of the vapour deposition hardening process. Don't know what Huawei uses on the P20 series. I do know that my P20 screen is more scratch resistance and has a better oleophobic feature than my previous P10+.

Third... Nillkin uses AGC glass for their screen protectors. And I believe, the only one that is 0.2 thin. And I can speak for the oleophobic feature that doesn't wear off in a couple of months like the cheaper crap that uses a coating.

You obviously don't like or believe in glass screen protectors, that's OK, but please don't lump them all together. Most glass screen protectors are installed for scratch protection and some are way better than others.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bravo261:
Anybody know of one for the pro that goes all the way to the edges and uses the strip of adhesive to stay on? I had one on my V30 and used the loca glue for a perfect application from curved edge to curved edge
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] h2oflyer:
When I was surfing through You TUBE for P20 glass screen protectors, I did see one for the Pro that covered the curved edges, but instead of a thin strip of edge adhesive, it had the silicone covering the whole glass. I watched the typical spread when centre pressed.

I would've got that one for the P20, but couldn't find it again. Maybe someone knows where to find it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bravo261:
That's what I'm looking for... It's loca(liquid clear optical adhesive) method and if done right, it's full coverage with no air gaps or halo effect
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shoobirdy:
Regarding the Nillkin protectors, it's worth mentioning there's 3 different versions.

Best coverage is achieved only using the CP+Max version which is obviously the most expensive one, and the cheapest one (that probably explains some comments about not covering much) also seems to be the most widely available.

I'm ordering the CP+MAX version so will feedback if I remember to, it'll likely take a month or so to get it as I can't source any in the UK and I'll probably forget to come back by then!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gchildz:
any of u tried using amazingthings for p20 pro? i'm using this one currently...tried spigen before and nilkin.....its case friendly...

theres nothing on the producer web but closest info i can get is from

https://mobyshop.com.sg/accessories...o-2-5d-full-cover-full-glue-supremeglass.html
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
Cp max is much smaller that the actual screen black frame and you loose available screen. Only whitestone. End of story.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] avers:
Hey Guys,

I tried many, including Nillkin, Spigen, etc, a lots of noname ones.

- The Nillkin is much smaller then the screen. If you use gesture navigations, it's very annoying

- The Nuglas has a too thin layer of silicone on it, easily peeling off at the edges

- The Spigen cannot be applied without air gaps under the edges. Very disappointing and looks weird

Finally I tried this one, and using for 2 weeks now.

Actually the best one I have tried:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07D766DVT/ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You will get 2 protectors in the pack.

1. First of all, it has full surface sticky (silicone) layer, not only the edges!

2. It is the same as every full cover protector, covers from the active screen a very little bit around the edges, but it can be applied without air gap(!).

I played with it for a while, until I could arrange it perfectly (and I could push out the air from under the edges)

3. The quality is ok, the oleophobic coating is not as smooth as the Nillkin's, more like the original (factory applied) coating on the screen.

After 2 weeks use still ok.

No any scratches on it, the oleophobic coating is still perfect.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
Whitestone dome. The one and only answer to tempered glassware. End of story.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thanito:
Omoton from amazon UK. Although the first one I got had a weird patch in the center of the screen due to the glue, they immediately sent me a replacement one. I kept the furst one until it broke from a drop and then u installed the replacement which is the best protector imo. It has a black frame but does not cover any part of the display, the oleophobic coating is great and it is also case friendly. Oh, and cheap af for its quality!

The only negative thing is that some dust particles have gone inside the led area. Although same does not affect the led function, you might be pissed sometimes by watching it, especially if you are an ocd person like me [emoji1787]

[MENTION=3751538]shoobirdy[/MENTION] did u get the screenprotector? Is it iinstalled by just aligning it ? Or with glue ? And did u get any halo effect ? Thx for answering
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leosedf:
Hello!

I tried 3 ZAGG invisible shield, one of them popped off for no reason, very bad adhesion and all 3 of them were bad. They don't suffer from the halo effect but suffer from the "dot" effect and it isn't so clear, fingerprints also stay for too long and difficult to remove..

After that i got the SPIGEN which is surprisingly good, no halo or the dots and it looks really good, i got one whetstone dome and the alinsea protectors to try but the spigen is so good i haven't had a problem so far and it's perfectly attached, very easy to wipe and keep clean. I was expecting it to be bad but for over a month it's doing good.

If it breaks or get's damaged i will try the alinsea.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
Just like any other tempered glass. You wipe with alcohol and apply the next one

I have covered my P20 Pro with PPF Quatect nano, and have no issue. Recommend it! It fit perfectly :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shoobirdy:
Looks like I forgot lol! I ended up getting another one in the meantime as I couldn't stand the wait. I could have sworn it was from https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/co...uawei-p20-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector but the notch section looks a little different to mine (maybe they've changed the design?).

I've used ultimate shield before and never had issues.

With whatever one I do have it's great. Full coverage...no halo's or touch issues and rounds off slightly at the edges. My criticisms would be that the visible area aligns exactly with the screen so you have to align it perfectly...but I guess that's more because of the phone design. Also because it goes right to the edges I could see it being a little problematic with cases depending on their fit, but with mine it's fine. I can't remember how I installed it but I *think* I just applied pressure in the centre and it 'spread' out. I've had a few phone recently so can't remember if it was this one.

I also bought 5 or so cheapo protectors from AliExpress that turned up in just a few days and we're only a couple of £ each...but so far the original one I bought has lasted so not tried any others.

Sorry, wish I could be more helpful and if I remember what one I actually have on my phone I'll try to remember update.

Also, sorry for the wall of text!

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leosedf:
The spigen is nice, i am using it for 2 months now without a problem (i also have the spigen case). It's more resistant than some others i tried and very easy to clean. Pity i thought it was going to break soon or won't be nice to try the other ones i have.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] KaylordTheuZ:
Dears, I have nothing but 24 hours to backup my beloved OP3 before the carrier comes to bring it in RMA (burn in problems on display).

Some files have been directly taken from the device (e.g., videos and photos), some others have been backupped by means of OP Switch... but the latter won't save application files and that's it, I need urgently to entirely backup & restore (as they were) some application such as Google Authenticator .

I heard Titanium Backup could do the magic but unfortunately I'm not rooted, and doing this might result in a lose warranty (which is not the case to risk, due to the fact the phone might be repaired in warranty).

Any tip? Tried with adb pull to get the Google Authenticator DB as read in several web pages, but got no luck ( I think it's a permission issue ).

Thanks, your help is highly appreciated.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
OnePlus supports device customization so unlocked bootloader and root shouldn't be an issue, so I'd go with Titanium.

That said, there's a Helium app (and desktop program) that's supposed to be able to backup app data without root. Sounds like you'll have to install apps fresh, but then you can restore their data. Never tried it myself though. Here's a link with a quick guide: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-app-data-with-or-without-root
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] KaylordTheuZ:
THanks,

unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader results in a complete wipe of the device, so that's not an option.... Tried the Helium app, didn't understood that well how it works but when it comes to a backup of 84 apps' data, in the restore phase i can see only 16. That said, probably it's a matter of proper authorization performing the backup (that is to say, root is not necessary, but without root you can backup only 1/10 of your apps data).

Hey [MENTION=7856520]Sid127[/MENTION], this is really nicely written tutorial, thank you :) What bothers me, why we need to mount partitions once again in step 6? Partitions were mounted in step 3 and there wasn't any reboot in meanwhile.

Second question, maybe easier... If I have existing TWRP backup for non treble ROM, is it OK to restore such backup using Treble recovery after wiping everything? Or it's recommended to flash previous recovery first?
