I have the black and the blue, extraordinary protection, wireless charge compatibility, no expensive. The cons a little bulky, the screen protector is better than previous models but it is made of plastic and I need to clean it constantly, but its clear, without sensitivity issues and it's only protection is versus scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pacherecords:
With the black, I replaced the plastic and used a White dome instead but I think that the thicknes of the glass was not compatible with the case and few weeks after the adhesive of the dome rip off.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
This is my first water "resistant" phone and I'm totally tempted to wash it under the kitchen sink just for the heck of it.

But I'm guessing that while the phone will still "work fine" after getting wet, there just isn't much you can do about light damage to speakers.

Even polymer or other "plastic" speakers. Even as tiny as the surrounds on these speakers might be. If they even have surrounds.

Anyone have experience getting phones wet and then listening to the speakers afterwards? Were they okay?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Sean Hicks:
I took mine into the shower and the speakers immediately lost about 75 of the volume. After, I towel dried it, shook it out, even blow dried. Still, it's not back to normal.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
Technically it should be able to handle being under water without any problem. I know that the wife knocked my Lg g6 into the spa and pulled it out right after without any problem to the phone or speakers.

The pixel is IP68:

Meaning"

The new devices can withstand immersion in water of more than 1 meter and will generally work down to 3 meters.

I would presume that the speakers just need to dry out completely before they are back to normal?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
I believe there is also a distinct difference between being immersed in water and forced water. Meaning dipping it in water or using it in the rain might be OK but a shower head spraying water into the speaker or other ports/holes would be bad.

I treat the water resistance as more of an insurance policy/safety net than a standard feature.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00143:
I've soaked mine several times when applying the wet install screen protectors and they are 100% fine. The speakers were wet to the point where I pressed the screen liquid was seeping out of the speakers. I haven't noticed any problems after this. I've had the same experiences with other phones as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
The speakers themselves are fine, but it's the speaker grill that seems to clog up and block the sound from the speaker below. It really doesn't take much to severely reduce the sound of the speakers.

When I first got the phone, I kept the plastic on it while setting it up as I waited for my screen protector to arrive. When I tried to listen to a song, I had to turn the volume up to max just to hear anything. That thin little sheet of plastic was enough to almost completely block the sound at any volume lower than max. So, I'm sure any calcium deposits left in the speaker grills when the water dries will have the same effect.

I've heard people having success scrubbing the grill with a small brush. Be careful not to scratch your screen though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ewiypoo:
I literally just sucked on the speaker after getting it wet and it was messed up and when i sucked on it it was fine

Has to be the best post ever on xda. ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wpeck:
I took my Pixel 3 XL into the shower and it was just fine. The speaker's get quiet and muffled when water gets into them but that's normal. I just played some music at full volume with my phone face down on the corner of my desk so the speaker grilles were exposed and the water eventually came out. It took a bit longer than I was expecting but they returned to exactly how they were before.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] SWBgHz:
Anyone know if there is Whitestone Domeglass for the 20X? I have looked around and haven't found anywhere.

Maybe a good alternative? I don't mind regular temp glass but hate when they don't go edge to edge or don't adhere well leaving that rainbow slick effect. Also not a fan of how regular temp glass seems to creat an additional edge on the device.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] Cccmachins:
Not for a while I would imagine. Is there even one for the M20P?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] SWBgHz:
On thier website it looks like iPhone, Pixel, and Galaxy S/Note devices only. I just wondered if outside the US maybe there were different options.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] antiochasylum:
Whitestone is located in the USA. Highly doubt they will make a protector for a device not sold on the US.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Accessories] SlyUK:
The following company does similar to Whitestone Dome and has screen protectors for the Mate 20 Series eg:

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Hi5josh:
Does anyone have a loose headphone jack? I just got my V40 the other day and when I went to plug in multiple pairs of headphones, they all slipped in easily without any resistance or noticeable click. It produces audio, however if it is slightly moved or rotated, it is enough to pause any playing media. I'm assuming it thinks it's disconnected at that point. Audio is one of the most important features for me. It's a shame I'll probably have to RMA it. Any thoughts on the matter guys? Thanks!

Edit: There is no problem. Apparently I had had to exert more force than I thought should be required. I tried without a case on and was able to fully insert the jack with a fair amount of pressure. After doing so, I put back on the case and was able to use all my headphones. There isn't a lot of clearance, however being firm with the pressure exerted, all my headphones were able to be fully seated. That's one tight Jack! Also, I'll leave a quick review with the headphones I currently have available. On another note, I wish that the audio settings would provide information regarding if the dac/amp is providing high or low gain, as well as offer the ability to toggle it on or off. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Tested Headphones (Hi-Fi Quad DAC Enabled):

Meze 11 NEO IRIDIUM (IEMs): Easy to drive (Energy Efficient) - Loud, yet comfortable at volume 50*

HIFIMAN HE4XX: Harder to drive (Not Energy Efficient) - Still sounds absolutely amazing regardless - Volume at 65 is comfortable, 70 loud, 75 uncomfortably loud

*Recommended highest level of safe listening volume is 50. Once exceeded, you will receive a non-intrusive warning (not a dismissive window) each time saying that higher volume can damage your hearing. Volume limit is 75.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] larkhillv:
I have been having loose headphone jack issues. I am caseless now and fully seated. I pushed quite hard and am getting a stereo signal. Still quite loose and gets knocked out of the jack with even slight movement with the headphone cable... Quite annoying and not sure if there is a fix for it.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] slainte_0317:
Take a pair of pliers, and flatten the end of a toothpick (I find it helpful, but not really necessary). Then dig around in the jack for lint with the toothpick. I had the exact same problem after about a year, use wired high end phones all the time...apparently over time I packed some pocket lint in there. I had lost the noticeable click and also easily dislodged enough to pause the playback. No problems since cleaning it out. (also might help to turn it upside down while cleaning). I like the toothpick because you can dig around without much risk of damage to the inner components of the 3.5mm jack.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ducter:
I've seen mentioned a twrp flashable to take the phone completely back to stock but searching for it doesn't yield any results. Does anyone have a p+ twrp flashable zip? Or is it recommended to flash download mode back on and use a kdz? Thanks.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
You can get it from this link (from another thread):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/t-...e/files/h918/10p/H91810p_00_0717.kdz/download

That will start the download (it's about 2.7GB in size). The checksums are (based on my downloaded version of the same file from another source):

MD5: be8843f0fff0675016ad0b5571a86407

SHA-1: d16aa98e4df49c2d868439ba6b2972175f6dbb4c

There are KDZ for other version 10, I know p is obvious since that's the most popular one where ARB was increased to 1 so once you install that one you can't go back to anything prior, and Oreo (20f release and the 20g update) are both ARB1 as well so even with Oreo you can still roll back to 10p if you want.

But, if your intention is to mess around with TWRP and ROMs, make sure you get the latest version of TWRP which iirc is 3.2.3-4 from October 18th:

https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239

If do the process to roll back and install TWRP using the lafspoit method and the USB stick method, that will install an older version of TWRP but then you use that temporarily installed TWRP to then flash the latest TWRP (.img file) to the recovery partition. Make sure to fix your laf partition as well with the laf recovery method (in the same thread with the rollback/flash info).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ducter:
Thanks, I was looking for the twrp flashable that I've seen mentioned. My goal is to return to 100% stock. It's looking like flashing the laf restore then using using download mode with lg up is the way to go since I can't locate the full twrp version but only modified ones.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
You really gotta read at this forum, people aren't going to hand you everything you need.

Having said that, everything you need is actually in threads here in this V20 subforum and they're even in threads that state what the thread is about:

- there's a thread specifically about going back to stock 10p (don't need TWRP to to that since you can flash the KDZ with LGUP directly and be done with it in 5 minutes)

- there's a thread about TWRP with the link to the latest version as I pointed out 3.2.3-4

and so on and so forth. Yes there's a ton of info available and no it's not very well organized - XDA is freakin' huge in terms of content posted every minute compared to most any other forum, this is one of the busiest forums on the entire Internet by sheer activity. But that's how this place works, like it or not.

I got my V20 in late September and discovered everything I needed in under an hour and had my bootloader unlocked, rolled back to 10p (it came with 10s on it), did the lafsploit thing with the bootable USB stick, installed TWRP with that method, then flashed TWRP's latest version, fixed the laf issue with the laf_recovery, rebooted to the latest TWRP I just installed, backed up the stock install with TWRP, the bumped it to rooted 10u. As soon as the rooted Oreo ROM was available I backed up 10u and then installed rooted Oreo 20f, and as soon as the 20g rooted build was available I did another backup of 20f and then put 20g on it where it sits now.

Just takes some patience and one whole helluvalot of reading. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ducter:
I understand all that. I'm well seasoned to XDA and how it works here. I've built from source and released several non official, at the time, CyanogenMod builds for various devices, been tinkering with Android since I received the pre order of the T-Mobile G1.

With all that said, I was simply looking for a flashable to stock twrp release because I had seen it mentioned, but no links to download it. The phones not mine, it's my son's. I set it up for him when the phone was released and haven't kept up with it since. He is going to trade it in at TMobile and I wanted it back to stock the simplest way while he was here for a short visit. Grabbing a flashable build would have been quickest and easiest given the restraints. It's been done now. Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] Alister.:
So most applications, on google play have hidden trackers, analytics they don't tell you about. This site lets you search any app shows trackers. The article explains what i'm talking about.

Example: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/reports/37324/

Article : https://theintercept.com/2017/11/24/...-android-apps/

I want to know how it's possible to disable these trackers, analytics so there not active in the background while using these apps.

From what i've seen fdroid doesn't include trackers, analytics inside there applications however i still need apps from google play.

I saw XPrivacyLua xposed module can disable certain analytics, i'm unsure if hosts based adblockers like AdAway root have any effect here.

Appreciate all advice.

I'm trying to install the s9 + G965U ARI6 firmware on my s9 + G9650 (Latin America model) with snapdragon 845.

I am following the tutorial here of xda for the installation of the beta of the PIE and the first step and the installation of the ARI6 firmware. But every time the odin gives me the same error. SECURE CHECK FAIL: ABL.

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Make sure the bootloader version of what your flashing is the same (or newer) as what is on your phone. The bootloader version is the 5th character in (starting at end of software version number, count 5 characters in right to left. The number is the bootloader version). Flashing the wrong bootloader version can cause an odin error, and you can not downgrade bootloader version(s).

Couple examples below. The red number is bootloader version 2, the blue is bootloader version 3:

G965U1UES2ARF4

G965U1UES3ARI1

Also I don't believe you can flash G965U onto a G9650... they are two different models which is highly likely why your seeing an error message. When I google search the error your seeing is related to this. Basically you can flash firmware for your model, you can't flash firmware from a different model. So one could flash the firmware from the G965U1 to a G965U model, but I very much doubt you can flash a G965U to a G9650.

Also pretty sure you will not be able too run the before release pie beta listed here on the forum. First paragraph says what the beta will work on (your phone is not listed).

2.) only place I'm finding the full-on Pro versions available is from China. I'm in the US. Will I have a problem with connectivity?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kerryjr3:
Hi,

How can I force the mate20 pro phone to use the built-in mic on phone calls?

I am switching from an iPhone 6s - so far it is a bit of a mixed experience: great device, but curved edges are... pointless, blue tinged screen when looking at an angle, play store downloads get blocked by photo sync (very non-obvious), terrible terrible plastic portrait photos that remove half my eyebrows, and face id is somewhat unreliable.

But the one that will see me return this device is phone calls are not using the built in mic. I have an (expensive) mic-less 3.5mm headphones I use via a google USB-C adapter (the one supposedly supplied with the phone wasn't in the box). When the headphones are plugged in I can hear the person talk, but they can't hear me. The phone doesn't seem to detect the headphones don't have a mic and revert to the in-built microphone like my iPhone 6s does.

Is there any way for me to force the device to use the built in microphone and ignore the headset - for phone calls at a minimum, and everything else if possible.

Changing headphones is not an option. I love them more than I could any phone. :)

[Google Pixel 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dees_Troy:
MTP does not work in TWRP on the Pixel 3 and will not work until we have time to update the TWRP MTP implementation. You may still use adb to push and pull files.

Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.

The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.

Installation:

If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.

If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:

fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img

This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, you will need to reflash root.

If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.

Hey guys - I'm a pixel noob and have a quick question about TWRP/Magisk.

I was rooted before TWRP came out so I flashed the stock boot images back to slots A and B. Then I followed steps 2-12 of the following article to install both Magisk and TWRP using temp TWRP. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/

My question is... when I was temp booted into TWRP, and installed the Magisk zip file, it only said that it installed to slot A. But when I was rooted before TWRP released I remember I had to flash the patched boot image to both slots. So using the process I followed, do I have one slot rooted and the other not? If so, is that a problem? Phone seems to work perfectly and root is working.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've always been a HTC guy but I'm trying :)
