[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
I am not seeing this screen protector mentioned much. I put it on dry first so as to have screen protection the first few days I set up my phone. Before I received my note 9 it was obvious I would have to set things up differently due to the taller aspect ratio. The s pen did mostly fine even though it was a quick, terrible and bubbly install.

This morning I put it on wet and have noticed it self heals much quicker. I let it dry naturally a couple hours on it's own, have let it set in the sun a few moments twice and intentionally using in the sun to see how bad the glare is and help the edges cure. I have some Ringke sp's I probably won't end up using them. I figured the neo flex would suck but quite the contrary. Unless you use the s pen extensively and the pressure sensitivity very hard these neo flex might be the answer for you.

I might try a Whitestone down the road but already have some more of these neo flexes on the way. I work in the elevator trade so my phone is always at risk of breaking and screen protectors definitely getting scratched. All my glass ones eventually end up getting cracked, mostly from the most unusual of things and not drops. I will update this topic should my opinion change and when I get my first heavy scratch.

BTW, I am using Samsung rugged cover as my daily driver case. I also have a Spigen tough armor that mates well with the neo flex sp. I asked Spigen if they could do a case similar to the Samsung rugged cover. It would be nice to have the comfort of the Samsung case with the tactile buttons minus the bixby button. I asked to leave the bixby button flat like the tough armor case to avoid accidental presses.

This isn't a review or obligation from Spigen. I bought these on my own, have more on the way and have not seen them mentioned much. I also asked Spigen if they can go any harder on the hardness and still accommodate the edges. I doubt it. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up since so many screen protectors are duds these days and good tempered glass is expensive. I wish power support made sp's and glass for Samsung phones. I have used their products on Motorola's and iPhones and they are usually the best.

The reviews on Amazon are pretty harsh. I wanted to leave a 5 star review with a small criticism but I think Amazon is trying to curtail dubious reviews of which mine should've been a verified purchase so wtf. For $10 I think some people give the wet installation of these a try.

In my experience the best SOT I got was with stock rom. Custom roms and kernels do not give me as good battery as stock rom. Anyone experienced differently? If so, please share Rom+kernel combo.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Nameless2:
I would like to know too. But custom kernels as of this date for our devices doesnt seem to live up to their purpose in giving performance and better battery. Most of them only gives you better idle battery management but has problems like slow charging etc. Damn i wish we have huge number of devs like in RN5pro

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ItsCrewz:
Hello everyone,

So I was wondering how to get good battery life?

I am on stock firmware latest update. No root.

Installed system wakelock detection but only whatsapp waking up like 5 times.

But, still draining a lot of percentage when the device is idle.

I used greenify to hibernate some apps.

Downgrading cpu is maybe an option.

I hope anyone has an idea!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Depends what you define as "good battery life." I find some people think they should be getting 12 hours SOT and 0% overnight drain because they read a post by someone who has their phone running with half the functions disabled and 5% screen brightness.

There are a couple of kernels that cap CPU performance if that's what you want. But you're probably better off figuring out what apps are using battery and optimize/remove them. Battery life is typically a userspace issue.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ItsCrewz:
Now I am getting 3 hours of SOT max.

I do have quite a lot apps (127 apps)

But I can't figure out which ones are taking battery.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Read one of the battery guides posted in the forums, they might help you out.

With root you can detect drain eazy with betterbatterystats, if you wish to go that road.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Lightbird:
Disable functions you don't need currently. Some apps track you with gps even when you don't use them wich drains a lot of battery. Especially from Apps that don't need this to function normally this is very uncool. Take away the permissions Apps don't need if possible.

Also look up Settings/ Battery for your battery consumption
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Why not search the forum bro? Someone made a special post on how to get the best battery life...... i know its hard to use the search function but please try :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
Stop using apps like Greenify and wakelock detector, they honestly do more harm than good with the newer versions of Android. OnePlus has this built in anyways, called battery optimization. Turn on advanced optimization and only allow apps you NEED to get real time notifications for, I get great battery life with that setup.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ItsCrewz:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
I go to settings>accounts>google and turnoff all the syncing options. For calendar and contacts, when I add any, I go into there and just turn them on, let them sync and then turn them back off. Why just let them sync all day long with nothing to sync? Doesn't make sense to me. Also in Setting>Data Usage>Cellular Data Usage i tap each thing and disable background data for each individual app that I don't need doing anything. I leave apps like email, messaging apps (Textra, What'sApp web browser, Google Play Services, Solid Explorer, DropBox, Weather Android OS ) with background on so they work properly. So you know, things like Web Browsers and Solid Explorer you need their background data on so if you are downloading from the net or moving files with the file manager they will fail, so you have to leave those on. Likewise with Google Play Services, you can't download from the play store with background data disabled.

Also, you can turn off location permissions to all apps that don't need it. Go to settings>apps>App Permissions and you can select Location and it will list all apps that have the ability to request Location Permissions. Right now mine says 4 of 30 has location permissions. I have Samsung Internet, Google, Maps and Weather. I have all other apps location turned off. Here you can just go down the list instead have having to go into each app. I also Keep Location set to battery saving unless I need Maps and I just turn it to High Accuracy.

With this and keeping screen brightness on auto I get 9-11 hours SOT. Maybe a little less now since I just bought a gear S3 Frontier watch so my Bluetooth is always active now and communicating to the watch. Oh and a couple other things. I have work email set to push and personal email to sync every 3 hours and weather sync every 6 hours. These are things that are personal preferences and will cause battery life to vary. But setting up background data usage and Location permissions can go a long way for battery life.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] prawalhaina:
maybe you could try

1. going to developer option and decreasing the animation to 0.5x from 1x

2. disabling auto sync in accounts

3. enabling dark theme

4. using wifi more, than using 4G

you will significantly see improvement in the battery life, though the battery is already kickass in the first place :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ItsCrewz:
Yep having all that already

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaffster:
Sorry if this has already been covered, but I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to this...

Now that Huawei have stopped providing unlock codes for the bootloader, is there any other methods available to gain root?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
From what Ive seen, there is no definitive official way to unlock the bootloader so without lower level access to the phone. Rooting won't work.

With that being said it's certainly not impossible, but compared to other devices the Huawei devices arent going to be getting a lot of attention due to the aforementioned problem.

I read that there was an unofficial method that you have to pay for, unlocker something?

Funky Huawei may also offer some method but they have been known to offer services which means you cannot unlock the bootloader ever again so personally I wouldn't bother with them.. query them though and see what they can offer.

Worry for us who have unlocked now is. If we get an issue with our phones and we need to RMA, well never get another unlock code.

Sucks right.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaffster:
It sure does suck, but not as much as being stuck with this bloatware to the point where I'm actually regretting getting this phone, I've never regretted purchasing a phone before (apart from maybe the Nokia N900, but that was donkeys years ago).

They could at least make some of the applications uninstallable.

Do you have a link to the unlocker by any chance?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaffster:
Was it dc-unlocker?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] specialk00:
I'm afraid Dc-unlocker does not support P20 Pro at the moment. I'm not sure if it ever will. I bought about 5 credits for it and when attempting to unlock I get error 375 if I remember correctly. Don't bother trying at the moment.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
You can uninstall much of the bloatware using adb. Plase take a look at the threads below. I could easily replace some stock apps with my favorite ones from google play.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LJAM96:
Sadly DC-Unlocker doesnt support the P20 pro
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Then I would say with all honesty, you cannot unlock the bootloader.

Huawei may revert their decision, however unless they get hit hard on sales, I really can't see it happening.

Plus with Huawei taking this stance, the users who know how to develop and hack past the bootloader don't want anything to do with them.

And I absolutely agree with them.

Pixel 3 or 4

OnePlus 6T or 7

For me.

Hello guys,

On all launchers back button is visible on the home screen. Is there a way to adjust this?

On stock launcher back button shows up only if there is something to back. If you are in the app per example.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Panzer500:
Nope there is no current way to get rid of it. Any non-stock launcher currently, will have an always on back button due to how Google implemented it. IIRC it had something to do with it being a root level function kind of like the swipe in Google Now/Feed panel found on the stock launcher.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mateplace:
Hi Guys,

currently, I'm on end with my skills and need a bit of help. First things first, the background:

I reset my Nexus 5 to the factory over the recovery mode and forgot to log out from my google account.

At the next boot, I can't activate the device because the Google activation lock was active. By the way, I never activate it.

To solve this, I try to recover my password of the google account, because all emails go directly to my Nexus 5 and I never need to change a running system. Also, no phone number was set in my account. Thanks to no recovery option, I can't reset my google password. After several times trying to connect Google, I end with a brick in front of me.

Now I try some bypass steps, create a new account and the device still not working because I have installed 7.1.2 and there was no modified Google Account APK I can find.

Now I Try to downgrade to a lower Android Version. For this, I first try this: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-to-unbrick-t3251740

I try these steps with both files (H790 and H791) because I don't know the difference. The Restore finished well and after the reboot, it was showing for 1 sec an android with bluish quaders rotating in his stomach and the device showing the Google logo and stop there.

Then I follow this Steps without success: http://nexusandme.com/how-to-restore-your-nexus-stuck-in-bootloop-or-soft-bricked/

Then I try this: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679 and also try all variants of the offered (start at MMB29K and end with MTC20K, because I have no idea what it means) without success.

Then I use the Nexus Toolkit to manually flash the different Partitions Images, also without success.

Then I try to freeze the Nexus and repeat all the steps, no success.

The current state is, I have a (Soft?- what mean this) bricked Nexus 5x 32GB Europe with a locked bootloader but I can boot into Recovery and Downgrade mode. I'm working on a Mac with Windows 10 in a Virtual Box because the Nexus Root Toolkit doesn't offer in a Mac version. It is this possibly the issue why I can't restore my Device?

My Next goal is to recover my Nexus to Android 6.0.0 Full stock without any modifications.

OffTopic: I Hate Google, I can't find any phone number to give a call or an E-Mail to recover my Password. Now I use an iPhone 8 Plus, and have a Phone number and also local Apple Stores. But I also hate the Software policy from Apple. But I don't want to put the Nexus into the trash, if I can recover it, I will be very happy.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] 0penfred:
Hello,

I am planning to upgrade a Nexus 4 from LineageOS 14.1 to 15.1 using official documentation (https://wiki.lineageos.org/upgrading.html) and unofficial (https://www.androidexplained.com/update-lineageos-14-to-15/)

Remark: It seems the official wiki page forgot to wipe system partition

On this Nexus 4, I am using "Limited user profiles" for my children to play (they can't install apps), and __really__ need to keep the games as "we are so far in the game it is not possible to restart anything from scratch now..."

My question is fairly simple: after wiping the system partition, and installing lineageos 15.1 image + opengapps (pico) (

without touching data partition

), am I going to keep the "Limited user profiles" and

all the associated data

???

Are the "limited user profiles" kept in the system partition (wiped) or in the data partition (untouched) ?

As far as I understand, "Limited User Profiles" are a user configuration, and consequently, should not be set in the system partition, but I have no other phone to test (at least supported by LOS 15.1 ...)

Thanks for any feedback.

Has anyone ever upgraded a device with LineageOS device that uses "User Limited Profiles" ?

Fred
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Why not ......

Fred,

Having never used limited profiles I couldn't say, BUT why not use something like Titanium Backup to snag the games and their related data and then restore them from that? Best five bucks I've ever spent on an app. It only saved my bacon one time but that surely paid for it many times over. I fully understand your predicament, so I also urge SEVERAL complete everything backups before taking the plunge. Use multiple types of media, too. You can't possibly be too cautious. I may be insecure, but insecurity's better than NO security. Good Luck.

Upgrade done: feedback for posterity

I have been finally authorized to upgrade the Nexus 4 from LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1 ) to LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1), and can give a feedback about "Limited User Profiles" settings after a Major LineageOS version upgrade.

Short version: Users limited profiles are kept even during major upgrade (with Data and Internal Storage kept)

Longer version:

This are the steps I followed:

- Upgrade of TWRP to 3.2.3 (to get the latest version before the OS upgrade). Upgrade of TWRP within TWRP.

- Boot Recovery. Wipe / Advanced Wipe

Wipe "Dalvik/ART cache"

Wipe "System"

Do NOT wipe Data (/data : apps settings)

Do NOT wipe Internat Storage (/sdcard) which contains Users data (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Downloads) I wanted to keep (and the rom upgrade files :))

Wipe Cache
​

- Install

Choose LineageOS 15.1 rom zip files

Choose Additionnal Zips (I only flashed OpenGapps Pico arm)

Swipe to flash
​

The phone upgrade went well, with minimal Gapps (I used pico opengapps for LineageOS 14.1 as well).

I can confirm the "Limited Users Profiles" are kept during this major upgrade !!!

It is not stored on the System partition, and may be stored in the Data partition (among Apps data/settings), as it is not stored in Cache or Internal data.

I'd like to add that Limited Users Profiles seems a good idea, but IMHO it is really complicated, and painful.

For example an app can ask for an upgrade in a limited user profile, which has no access to the Play Store. But at the same time the app upgrade is not shown on the "Main Account" (with access to Play Store !). This feature drove me mad, and I simply replace it with a software limitation by age for my children.

Hope this helps.

Fred
