[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] ahmedAZ:
I found that it doesn't matter
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
I'd recommend you to flash any CustomROM from stock Nougat for full functionality (e.g. fingerprint scanner doesn't work if is CustomROM installed from stock Oreo ROM).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I just ordered the XL (128GB), but skipped the Extended Care for $130. I read what it was before skipping, and it's basically an extended warranty for the second year. The first year is covered by Google, so for two years the phone would be covered for an additional $130. How may have either bought it, or skipped it, and/or had to use it if you did get it? Is it really worth it? For the cost I paid for the phone I plan on keeping it for at least five years as my usual yearly purchases have been low/mid ranged at around $200/$250 a pop, so I figured if I pay $1,000 for a phone, it should last the sum of my yearly purchases, and that way I don't feel bad paying so much since I justify it by paying $1,000 over five years either way. I'm just wondering what people think about the Extend Care for one more year of protection.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I always install a tempered glass screen protector and a TPU case immediately after unboxing my phones. In fact, I already have a new Spigen case sitting in my home office and the screen protectors should be here next week. I'm a nutcase about keeping my devices in 100% "like new" condition, mainly for resale.

However, if I didn't use a case/screen protector I would absolutely pay for the Preferred Care for that accidental damage coverage.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I'm very careful with my phone, and I keep it in a case also. My Incipio DualPro is on it's way as I type this. In all my years of having a phone (since getting a Nexus One on day one) I've never had to send one in for repairs. It's just now that I'm paying a grand I almost felt like I needed it, but once I read it only covered one more year, I skipped it. Thanks for your input.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] tj_f:
Have had extended care on my daughter Nexus 5x and my Nexus 6P. The 5x boot looped twice, the first time replacement for the 5x was free. The second had to pay the deductible, and they shipped a brand new 5x not a refurb. My 6P boot looped and they offered a dollar amount or a Pixel XL. Went from a 64GB 6P to a 128GB Pixel XL.

Totally worth the extra $$ just for peace of mind.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Break the screen and you'll see how much you needed it. This phone has a glass back too. Definitely bought the insurance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] scoppola:
Extended warranties are insurance. Here's how insurance works: The insurer calculates the cost and probability that you will file a claim. They add a bunch on top of that for profit, and that's what you pay. So, as with any insurance, it's only worth it if you have much higher than average probability of filing a claim (you're a klutz), or you can't afford to replace it if you break it.

On the other hand, I understand there are folks who don't want to treat their phone like the $800 piece of glass that it is, and it's absolutely worth it to them.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ScottIsMyName:
Just making sure you're understanding it correctly. If you drop your phone and break the glass in the first year (or second year for that matter), you're not covered if you don't get extended care. The repair will be very expensive. It's not just an extra year of warranty.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
I've never cracked a screen before. Always buy glass screen protectors and cases. How much is a screen repair? because if u do use the insurance its $130 for extended care plus a $130 deductable. If a screen repair is $250 ill take my chances lol vs $260 if I use it once.

Edit: Ubreakifix charges $220 for a screen replacement so I don't see the point. Unless your someone who breaks phones a ton. Wow so preferred care is $130 plus if u need to use it you pay a $130 deductible for the 3XL so a total cost of $260 for 1 screen repair if I break it once during ownership.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
^ This is exactly what most people, who buy extended warranties, tend to overlook. There is still a deductible, even with the expensive extended warranty. And often times, as you've already discovered, the extended warranty + deductible actually cost more than just paying out of pocket for the repair.

However, one thing this does overlook is if you drop the phone and happen to crack both the back and the front. That's going to be an expensive repair that likely would have saved you money with the extended warranty.

Personally, I do DBrand skin for the back, then cover it with a TPU case, then install a full coverage glass screen protector. In total that cost is around ~$35 and provides all the protection I need for peace of mind, including protecting the back glass from getting scratched up from the case moving/rubbing over time (hence the DBrand skin).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bob52r:
google support/customer service with extended warr is far more pro customer is always right that most companies.

i had 3 nexus 6p replacement. the last was with a pixel xl. i had some ring tone issues on 8.1 and after a factory reset that did not solve my issue, they were ready to replace my new xl with a refurb xl. i can live with the issue which is very manageable and passed.

the extended warranty was extended for me by google. it was the best bargain that i have ever had.

i am not tech oriented and do not enjoy problem solving myself. i am on this site to get an over view from savvy users of the good, the bad and the ugly on the 3 and xl3. i am still happy with my xl, but enjoy window shopping
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pokerpua:
I'm awaiting a tempered glass protector and I have a Tech21 Evo Check already installed. I also use a Flygrip that makes it harder for me to drop the phone. This is especially good in clubs or bars where I may get bumped by some drunk unexpectedly.

I only dropped my Nexus 6 a few times. I had a tempered glass protector and a Ballistic case on it. I think the hottest was getting out if an SUV. It dropped face down into asphalt and phone everything was fine.

As for the extra year of warranty, I'll rely on the extra year if protection from Visa.

Why Nougat ROM when there is Oreo & Pie available?

- Some people like me, like the Nougat

- Some people like me liked RR Nougat a very much and its customization. And since RR stopped Nougat, not satisfied with Oreo.

- If Nougat comes with Security Updates then what is the harm!

- Good Battery saving compared to OREO (my own experience not sure with others)

Credit goes to original developer, Resurrection Remix team Hard Work, LineageOS, and many more.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] InfernoCoder11:
I'm using this ROM for the past 10 or so days. It is very good, has lots of customizations but has started to lag a bit as compared to the initial 3-4 days. Still it is good enough to use. Even I feel that all the ROMs start lagging after around 2-3 weeks of use so I just clean flash when it happens.

lawnchair feels laggy when i swipe the drawer, pixel launcher is fine but doesn't have any customizations... and i can't hide the lawnchair icons in the drawer, tried disabling lawnchair with adb but everything crashed and becomes unstable if i do that... had to re-enable it.

why disabling a launcher cause problems?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] zenfone selfie:
it's mostly stable and fluid but i have some problems.

omnijaws doesn't work, lawnchair is laggy when i swipe the drawer up and i'm having random system restarts. it's more frequent when i use the lawnchair as my launcher so i switched to nova but still happens rarely... also it can stuck in a boot loop when i turn the phone on or restart it. it takes 2-3 attempts to boot. sometimes crashes right after the boot before i can type my sim pin.

anyone else having similar problems? is lawnchair somehow entegrated in the system? because the system was completely unusable when i disabled it. now it's updated from the playstore, i was wondering if that's the problem? maybe this rom is using something lawnchair removed/modified etc. how can i save a crash loop after the crash?

can someone share the lawnchair apk from this rom? or if it's an unmodified apk can you tell me the version number of the stock app?
