I'm looking around for a tempered glass with decent touch responsiveness. do we know much about how well WSD will protect the screen vs other protectors? it costs quite a pretty penny. i was wondering if any of you had experience with cheaper ones that'll offer the same level of protection? this one (https://www.amazon.com/LK-Protector...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YX5Y8Z1JQ3BMGQX5XTF8) is quite highly rated at amazon and has a fakespot rating of A. anyone tried it out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
The link you provided is a product that only has adhesive on the sides, don't waste your time there will be an air gap and the screen responsiveness will be garbage. Like you said those reviews are fake and you would be wasting your time and money if purchased. Yes the WhiteStone dome is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have had mine installed since Launch and not a single issue, it looks and feels like there isn't even a screen protector installed. For a product that could potentially save your phone from breaking, why skimp out? Would you buy cheaper tires on your car that are much more likely to fail? No.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pizza_pablo:
I do believe that the Whitestone is worth the price.

I have been using tempered glass screen protectors for a few years now and the Whitestone is much easier to install, bacause of the jig that comes with it.

I have installed the Whitestone on two Note 9s. One for the wife and mine.

The only issue I have is a minor one. It seems a bit of excess glue is around the edges and atractslint from my pocket.

The coverage and feel is awesome.

Once you buy the full kit that includes the UV light, only the replacement kit is needed for any other install or phone. The replacement kit comes with the jig, but not the UV light.

I refrained from purchasing a phon ewith a curved screen until this type of screen protector was available. I refused to deal with the ege only attached protectors.

It is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. After all, you are protecting a thousand dollar phone. Twice what I've ever paid for a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
My experience with the whitestone: It is ok if you dont mind the sharp edges when you swipe from the sides. In my case, air bubbles started to appear at the right edge. Whitestone sent me one replacement which I am trying to sell, because I don't see it working in my case.

Pros:

Clear;

Sensitive;

Warranty (although you have to pay for shipping);

Cons:

Sharp edges;

Air bubbles appear at the edges after some time, 2 months in my case;

The adhesive left exposed at the sides attracts dust/lint;
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bonerp:
how do you get the glue off when removing? I bought a twin pack but the first is quite scratched
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
The glue is attached to the glass, not your phone. Once you begin peeling the screen protector off you will notice the glue is only on the screen protector and your phone is left clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] LTKred:
does the whitestone dome work with the Note 9 included case? as im fairly happy with the included case for now, but i wanna get the dome screen protector if its compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
What is the included case? In my country there is no included case, but it is compatible with the samsung silicone case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] LTKred:
Oh what?! I didn't realise that. Well in Australia it comes with a clear rubber/silicone type case inside the box. I believe it's the same one samsung sell on their accessories page. So I guess it'll be compatible then, sounds like the same one you're talking about. Thanks

I think it's worth the premium. Been using it since S7 days and installed, I think 7, on friends/family phones. Killed itself for 3 displays from drops so far.

Oh nice one. It is compatible with the included case. Cheers for that

You're welcome!

A benefit of the vast research, conducted for the purchase of A Note 9 for the wife. Thru that and setting it up for her, I was so impressed that I got a Note 9 for myself. The 8/512 version, of course. :)

My first non rootable phone in about 6 years.

I am digging it!

Yeah I'm usually a flashing whore haha switching out roms every other day. I don't think Imma even root this one. I'm really happy with it. It's quite the beast. I got the 6/128 model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] daniel4653:
You dirty whore!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] daniel4653:
I was really hesitant on spending $40 on a 2 pack of tempered glass. But after biting the bullet i couldn't be happier with the glass. It fits and feels great. Doesnt disrupt the touch sensitivity and keeps the premium feel of the phone. I hated that the cheap ones that only have adhesive on the sides and dot matrix on screen made the phone feel super cheap because it felt like you were touching a plastic screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] babak:
be careful, however, if the phone falls and hits the glass film, it does not protect the display and breaks, it happened to me on note 8.

In other words, it protects only from the graff.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] daniel4653:
No tempered glass is going to protect your screen from cracking. It helps but doesn't prevent it if the hit/drop is right.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
If you want a tempered glass screen protector then the only option that works well (IMO) is the Whitestone Dome. The issue is (and I've tried many times) with Whitestone Dome is that the sides of your screen protector may get tiny bubbles even after you think the install was perfect. Mine showed up after a day and spread to the enter left and right side of the protector.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blackberrynomore:
The Whitestone Dome gets pretty bad reviews on Amazon? Has anyone been able to install it and have it last for longer than a month or two?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
The instructions are trash.

The tape they give you do not use. It leaves crap on your screen. Same with there wipes.

Final cure is not long enough. It's still the consistency of gell. You will need a total of about 2 min cure time to really set it. That being said mine is still on and working great.

Oleophobic coating is pretty much the weakest I have seen. That scraches really easy. You will have scraches in that after a day.

Qc is hit or miss. Mine had some deep scraches in the glass out of the box and a burn in the olophobic coating. However they sent out a full new kit as a replacement. So support was great. I just messaged them on Facebook.

Biggest thing is that you will need to do a final cure of around 2min for the top and bottom to really cure the adhesive. So do your 30 sec then do the clean up and the. I did 2 min top and bottom. What they said in the instructions the adhesive was not fully cured and was still a gell.

But it's good. Worth the premium. If you fallow the instructions you will have problems. Needs way more time for the adhesive to fully cure. And that's why it is pealing up for some people. I use uv adhesive at work so I'm not a typical user so this was nothing new to me. Next time I install I'll do the final cure in a uv over at work.

No bubbles. Let the adhesive drop and sit for a second. Look to see if any bubbles are in it. If they are you can let it sit for a minute and see if they rise out. If not clean a needle really good and pop them. I let mine sit for about 2 minutes before I let the protector drop down. However if you do it in the sun or under a light that is kicking out a bunch of UV light then you don't wanna let it sit for long. Typically 1-2 min sitting it will be fine. I would not go over 3 absolute max.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blackberrynomore:
Thanks very much for your detailed explanation. I was somewhat curious if it was some type of installation error that people were having causing all of the failures. I use UV cure glue for tying fishing flies and the stuff is fantastic. Probably the best new thing to come along in that sport in decades. Have you any experience with the other one I saw in another thread that is considerably less expensive?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
Yes it works normal.

Careful if you use a Gear VR though, as using it without the proper Note 9 adaptor will put more pressure over the bottom of the screen, and ruin your whitestone Dome installation a bit. on that small area where the connector presses against the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] daniel4653:
That's what happened to me. It was perfect at 1st. But then after about two days a bunch of bubbles popped up on the right side of the curved glass. It's a bit annoying but at least i know my screen is protected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pizza_pablo:
Thanks, but I think you meant to quote someone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I really don't see how anyone can go wrong if you follow the directions and watch a couple of videos. My install went perfectly and I'm so impressed with the end result! It's like I don't have a screen protector on at all, it's that clear! Well worth the money I spent!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] daniel4653:
My mistake was that my table wasn't fully leveled so the loca was shifted to the center left causing the right side to have bubbles by the edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mtsingson:
I think its probably a design problem, I had a 2 pack as well, first one after a month started showing some bubbles on the left side. But it seemed like a perfect install for at least a month. So i removed it and installed the second one, i though maybe i made a mistake. Now after a week the same thing is starting to happen... See photos.

I think its a design problem because i had a whitestone dome with my note 8 before and this never happened... but i think they used more glass on the curved part on that which led to alot of cases incompatible with the screen protector. For the Note 9, i feel they shortened the Glass on the curved sides so its almost compatible with every case out there. so now a smaller surface are is glued to the curve
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
I just got that.

That's delamination. Caused by cheap uv adhesive. Give you an idea. At cost this much uv adhesive in a proper quality would be $20. It's expensive. And that's buying it in bulk.

Just got that. Top corner. It's spreading down to the side now. Over the course of a day it went about 2 inches. However it was perfect until a face drop from a few feet on a hard floor. It was only after that I seen it. What back up the whole cheap uv adhesive combine that with a UV light that is pretty poor you do not get a solid cure.

For this one il be using a uv cure station at my work tomorrow. 200w uv. This is what we use to cure our optical grade adhesive. We use

Visable 400-450nm

UVA 320-395nm

UVB 280-320nm

This is a proper light to cure. Not the junk they give you.

So far the most durable is the zag elite. That adhesive is like so thick and so strong. But like every zag makes they have to purposely make it crap. So they made bezzles on it that make the screen smaller and leak light. Zagg really needs to fire all it's engineers they are pretty much trash.

But this was from me dropping it. Should of held up but keep in mind glass to glass bonding is extremely hard. I'm betting cheap adhesive combine with a cheap light that can not cure it right is the main issue for most here. If enough people want I'll see about ordering another kit and using some top of the line adhesive on it and see how much better it is
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] galaxynote2:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...Edge-S8-S9-Plus-Note8-Note-9/32902420106.html got this one for $12! The installation went perfectly! I've used the Whitestone tray to install it, as it's much easier than doing it by hand. The oleophobic coating is far better than the WSD. It's just a little bit narrower (by about half a milimiter) which is great because not only fits more cases, but also still covers the entire screen.

I wouldn't mind if it arrived scratched, or with a crappier oleophobic coating, since it's $30 less than the Whitestone Dome, but it's even better! There's no freaking reason to buy the Whitestone Dome with these alternatives.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Looks like they just leanrned a new English word. Nano!. Nano glad, nano adheasive, nano light.

I would not trust that adheasive at that price point. Glass is probably fine same. More then likely the same trash adhesive Whitestone uses only this is priced accordingly why the dome is way over priced. By far the worst optical adhesive we have ever seen at my work.

Its a $1000 phone why are people wanting to put junk on it from AliExpress. That glue flat out won't hold. Give it a month and you will start to see delamination. All over them use the same crap optical adhesive from China that is total trash. I did some testing on it. Trust me it's trash.

You know those cheap uv pens with the glue in the other side. Was made to be the replacement for super glue but it sucked. That's the same adhesive they are using.

My Zte axon 7 for last few days has been mostly stuck on a red led for until the battery dies then I plug it in and it boots normal and functions good for 20 mins until it freezes with a red led and I have to do it all over again. I was in TWRP running linage os and it still froze in TWRP which I was suprised. Has anyone else had this issue because I'm not finding much on the internet for it.

yes,me.Also on 10% phone shut down,then i try to turn it on and it says i need to charge my battery,i ignore it.Then i try to boot in TWRP and that works.

Also vendor partition issues,other time on boot its gone,other time in reboot its back

calibration issues also here that i noticed,what more users have but not aware about
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonic1337:
Have you found a work around for this to prevent it from happening or to make it work longer. I do not know what causes it. I hesitate to format cause I got some pictures. But I will if it comes to it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Try to flash latest official twrp trough fastboot or edl.If it worked boot in twrp and try to backup your photos to PC/laptop.

Then I advice you start over.Also delete the vendor partitions.

Please report back here when the twrp flash and backup to pc succeeded
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonic1337:
I will try doing this, unfortantly luck isn't on my side for this. In short I did this process 1 year ago forgetting how to do it, as well as I am now on windows 8.1 (previous Wind 7) and the drivers are very hard to get working as when the phone previously worked it would be hard to get it to detect the phpne using Usb 2.0. Just send me a tut on how to flash Lastest version of TWRP and ill do it. Also how do I clear the Vendor partions? I mainly had the intention to set this phpne up once and never come back to all this so thats why I have nothing ready for this.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonic1337:
Also what if it freezes while i'm usimg TWRP? I had that happen to me before
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonic1337:
Is this the method you used to fix it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
yes,and then reverted back to los 14.

I have same problems now again,with the rebooting,power loss,fake 0 battery capacity.

i dont know what the cause is,but for me it happen only with vendor partition installed with los15 bootstack etc

im trying to fix it again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonic1337:
Ok what i'm going to do is erase the entire device, flash TWRP then the default Rom and see if it still happens.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
u mean stock rom? what i did was ersing everything,also the vendor partition.I rebooted sometimes in twrp to make sure everything is gone and all partitions are on default size.And im glad i did this because the vendor partition showed up again after some reboot in twrp.

Then i installed everything for los14.1 (bootstack and modem) and flashed nuclearom (all default).Ive run some cycles on that and my problems were all solved.Battery calibration was also normal and good
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vereshchagin:
Same issue, more details, with year old B32 system

Just want to add, having same issue. When phone is unplugged, battery starts draining quickly, in fifteen minutes reaching 70%. IF it reaches that far. Usually, battery just jumps from any % to 0! and shuts off, even from 100% charge sometimes, and can't restart phone until I plug it in. When plugged in, it shows wherever it shut down, for example if it shut down at 76% on charging it shows 76%.

Looking at posts above, I wiped everything, including data and media, did a complete reflash to B32 stock image by DrakenFX that I did literally a year ago. STILL same issue remains, battery starts discharging very quickly, then from 95% skips to 0! and shuts off.

Hope this is helpful to anyone dealing with this issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
that must be your battery. Install Ampere, and disconnect the phone while it is at 100%. See how much voltage it reports. If it says it's at ~95% and has less than 4.3V then it's definitely just a very bad battery with high internal resistance, this causes it to drop voltage easily once a load is applied, and the phone detects the low voltage and shuts off to prevent bad stuff from happening

Does the phone look like it's warped somewhere? Your battery might be bloating
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] bleagues:
I was trying to update my room to the latest 10.0.4 release when I did something wrong and am now having bootloader issues.

My Name 5 pro was working fine on non ARB 10.0.3 when I decided to update to 10.0.4. I couldn't find a non ARB 10.0.4 to flash so I decided to make my own via the instructions found on another thread in this forum.

I followed that to a T and went to flash, after doing a full wipe via TWRP, the homemade non ARB 10.0.4 via TWRP and received an error message.

I didn't have any other version of a good ROM on my phone to flash so ended up side loading a good copy of a non ARB 10.0.3 ROM.

It did flash successfully and I have a working RN5Pro.

My issue is, when my phone boots up, it says 'unlocked' at the bottom of the boot screen. When I reboot into the bootloader, the phone is not recognized by any program on my computer. ADB, any of the MIUI programs etc...

After booting to the bootloader, when I plug my phone onto my computer a small tiny message appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen that says. 'push any button to shut down'

When I go to settings > additional settings > developer options the "OEM unlocking' field is greyed out and not able to be toggled.

It seems like the phone software thinks it is unlocked, but the bootloader says it's not.

And none of the MIUI programs connect to the phone. Yes, USB debugging had been enabled.

Anyone able to help me get this bootloader issue straightened away?

Thanks in advance

After reading and reading and reading I came to a forum post where one poster recommended trying a different USB port on my computer.

Strange, as the other USB port was the one I had used many times before without any issues.

Anywho, I'll leave this posted as it may help someone in the future.

Hello all

Last night I was experimenting a bit on my new OP6T. After hard-bricking the phone (:D) and successfully un-bricking/flashing to factory (:victory:) I noticed this: using TWRP, in File Manager, I see that nearly all files/folders are encrypted. I verified this also on the phone itself, Encryption is enabled.

Thanks to this, last night, I was near to lose all the files; in fact I lost them but a backup saved the situation...

Now, can someone explain me why TWRP don't normally read the files ? No "do you want to decrypt ?" popup appear and, in case something is going really wrong (like in my situation) you can potentially lost all. It's about Android/TWRP version ?

I'm just curious what your screen on/screen off battery life is. I used AccuBattery and even though I know it's an approximation I do have a very significant standby drain even with force doze which is similar when I'm in airplane mode. So I'm curious whether the sensors etc. take that much energy on the OnePlus 6 :)

I get 10,6%/h screen on which I very good actually but 3,5%/h screen off which is higher than on my OnePlus 5T which was 2%/h at max. Anybody having similar results? I don't like just measuring SoT as this can vary from day to day depending on the standby and usage time.
