Pixel 2 XL Cover On case, it fits well on Pixel 3 XL all it needed was a hole on the top right for the microphone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RagedElimanator:
I, for one enjoy the appearance of the new case. It is grippy I would say. It slowly glided down glass for me. For anyone using a pixel stand, that 2mm thickness definitely allows for the rapid wireless charging and for those who use a third party wireless charger, it will charge at the limited peak. The cutout for the USB C port is generous for both slim and thick cables alike, without pushing the case up. The fingerprint scanner hole could be a bit more wide reminds of the tight hole the Nexus 6P Spigen case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] mweinbach:
For all of you with tight buttons, they will loosen up after a week according to dbrand. I was just talking to them about it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
I ended up requesting a return for the grip because it screwed up my whitestone screen protector. It caused it to lift on the side :/ due to the pressure required to insert/remove the phone from the case RIP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zandander:
Case installed with skin. Looks good and feels great! Now just waiting on the prizm to ship...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Send us some pictures!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Got pics?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Nope, I already installed a new Whitestone and went back to the fabric case. The issue is the Dbrand is closer to the protector than the fabric case and I utilize squeeze for assistant and other things quite frequently. So the pressure from the case pressing up against the glass caused the lower right to start lifting.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zandander:
Here are some crap pics
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I went from "pre-ordered" to "processing", on the DBrand site.

Quick question to everyone who has got the DBrand Grip,...how do you really feel about the case it self?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RagedElimanator:
So the 6 scales on each side feel sticky, the rest of the outside feels smooth even the slope down on the front aka Crescent Arc™ feels comfortable to rest on. That material will create more friction compared to case you buy out of tpu or silicon. To summarize, it is pleasant to hold and feels natural to me compared to other cases I used.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
Just placed my order for the case and screen protector! Can't be any worse than what's out there now. Dbrand is a good company so it should be amazing! Love what I'm reading from folks that have either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zandander:
The case FEELS less sticky than many others I've used but it actually sticks better to hard surfaces. Doesn't slide around on my center console anymore! All in all it's my favorite that I've had. Looks good to boot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] CoreGaming:

Prism protector shipped! Should arrive Monday.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Jaxidian:
Really looking forward to some reviews for this! Just gonna keep my Spigen Thin Fit 360 until I do something different. Not sure if I'll go Grip or not but am super interested in Prism given how sure they are in their installation video that there won't be a halo effect. Weird that that's what they use the alcohol pad for.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I have the same Spigen Thin Fit 360. So,..far the only one I like the most. But,...I am using the Caseology Vault Series. It reminds me of a Diztronics case. It a nice case and with a Rhinoshield Tempered Glass. But there is no adhesive on the camera and speaker ports. So dust gets under the glass and in front of my camera. Plus the black edges are a little on the thick side. It make the device look like and iPhone XR.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
They shipped! Should get them Tuesday! Can't wait to test this out.. So many cases, so little time.. Can they pull me from Dome Glass? I'll find out Tuesday!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Mine arrived today,...I am at work. Can't wait to get home.

dbrand grip + whitestone
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] idees:
Well the case arrived yesterday. I have mixed feelings about this case.

Pros:

Materials, grip

Cons:

Cutout for fingerprint scanner is very small, I have many fails trying unlock my device.

Also , cutouts for power and volume buttons need hard pressure -I would say- to response. They are not clickable like other cases.

Not so happy with this case, considering the price and the time for transit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
How long have you had your Whitestone installed? Keep an eye out for peeling/hazing as it seems to be a common thing with their XL 3 protectors.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nouse1981:
yes I know, but mine after more than 2 months is still perfect. I have been lucky.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] BarbraB:
Lip?

From the pictures it looks like Grip Case doesn't have lip on the long sides... Correct?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I will give my opinion about the case tomorrow. I have been rocking it since this morning. So, far not bad, but still too early to tell. I will have pictures too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nouse1981:
Yes, that's right, it has no borders ... Just a little bit in the extremes. I'm not sure if it has the certified military grade.

best of all, it is light and fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] BarbraB:
Do you think it's worth the money?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nouse1981:
For me, no, it's a lot of money. but I like the light and thin case that it is.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RagedElimanator:
Read this:

Rest assured they do get more easy to put pressure on to initiate a click after a week I have been using the case for a little more than a week.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

If it is at least as good as the old material they used then I am certain their claim of military grade protection is true, the old bumper warped on impact to reduce the amount force exterted on the device it is housing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] BarbraB:
Uhm. So it's not very protective on the long sides. I think I won't buy it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
Ok, so I received my items today. Was very excited! Love the case... Buttons are form e, but fine.

The issue? The screen protector! I pride myself with installation of both glass and non glass installations. This was atrocious! First one had massive alignment issues, even with the guide. Trying to fix that I got finger prints. User error? Maybe! The second attempt went much better. But, still have a piece of dust, and a few bubbles that I can't get rid of. Not sure what's more annoying; the fact I failed twice, or their installation process. To each their own! Going to reach out and see what they say about the bubbles, they will not go away. Back to Dome Glass?

Edit... Had to remove. Was causing issues with sensors.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Hello Everyone,

Just got my case and screen protector. I just installed the Prism today. Came out almost perfect. The case is nice. Very light compared to other cases. I am liking how this is coming together. It fit well. I will have pics for you soon. Have use the wife's device to take pics.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
Lucky you with the screen protector install.. I had a horrible experience. I reached out to them but their email reply is really making it sound like I'm 100% at fault. Oh well, guess I'm out $29 to dBrand. Like the case though..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] LiquidHonesty:
Got the case, love the look with the blue decal........but am I the only one who's really hating the fingerprint cutout? NOT a fan :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
It is a bit small.. Kinda surprising ... Not sure why they made it so small.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] 604kev:
I got one with a black faux-leather skin, and it looks really nice! Feels great, buttons are quite stiff but I hope that improves over time?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
I've installed the prism today on my phone. I have a couple of dust spots, but the real issue is how anything white looks(most noticable on white). Don't even know how to describe it, but like almost pixelated. I'm not sure I can handle it, don't remember this with any other screen protectors on older phones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I applied the Prism too. I had screen brightness issues. I took it off and got on of the best out there. Whitestone Dome is great. But, PANE by BARE is much easier to install and no liquid adhesive. Full adhesive even on camera ports. I think this by far the best screen protector out. It takes a while to get, but well worth it. The price is a little steep, again worth it. My install was perfect. I am liking the case. It is light, grippy, almost perfect. The buttons will get softer with a little time. Fingerprint cutout is tight,...but no issues with my fingers. Work and unlocks fine with case on. I will send pics and give you my thoughts of the Prism and case. Over the weekend I will post again.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] masterxchief:
How close to the edge of the screen protector go? Does the black border cut off a bit of the screen?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
No,...the black border is the best I have seen so far. I had the Rhinoshield Tempered Glass, before the Prism. The Rhinoshield made the Pixel 3 XL look like the iPhone XR, very thick black border.

I have 2 cases DBrand Grip & Caseology Vault. Both cases fit awesome with this PANE tempered glass screen protector. No issues for me what so ever. The glass is a full coverage glass. Hence the black boarders.

Now the Prism is a Rhinoshield knock off. It is a dust and fingerprint magnet. And needs a better way of installing. Got one dust particle caught in it and tried take it out and it just got worst. Very frustrating.

I also had screen brightness issues with the PRIZM. Not worth the money even if they gave you two in the box.

The BARE PANE is by far the best tempered glass screen protector in my opinion. Hands down.

One last thing the glass does not hang over the edges or curves of the screen.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
I am updating. I am still rocking the DBrand case. I think it is a great case. Raised edges, screen protector friendly, very light, and has this certain grip to it. Not a sticky grip,...but good grip. If your hands are bone dry,...it may slip. But with regular skin it has this awesome grip. Seems very durable too. No scuffs yet. It is like a rubber foam and tpu blend. I am learning to like this case alot.

Now,...the fingerprint hole is little smaller than other cases out there. But, for me. I have had zero issues. Camera cutouts are perfect. And skin install was cake, if you follow the video.

The last thing, everyone who has the grip says the same thing. The buttons are to hard to press. Yes,...they are at first. But,..the design and function of how the buttons are made is great. No pieces, straight forward look, textured, and they work. By far the best button design for function and durability. The button get a little easier.

Any case prices over $15.00 is too expensive. But,...what your paying is design and function for it's purpose. This is not a bad case. I will keep rocking it.

Also,...if you interested in more info and pics for BARE PANE tempered glass. I will be making a post over the weekend. On the tempered glass section.

Get the grip, forget the prism!

Just got both grip and prism delivered 2 days ago, while the grip is more or less good, the prism screen protector is def unusable! It doesn't cover whole screen which makes using Fluid navigation into a very irritated action. I had to take it off and it's definitely not worth 30$!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] matt99017d:
I have the case and the screen, I have had no issues whatsoever. In between the case and the screen I have 99.9% coverage. I get the desire to pick something apart especially when it cost $30, but for me I'm perfectly content with it. so far it seems like a worthy investment, my only real complaint with the case is that it takes up lint from my pocket then gets stuck in between the phone and the case
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
The buttons indeed have softened up a bit with usage and I'm assuming will continue to get better over time. Had an issue with the first skin so had to go skinless for awhile. Back of the case is prone to scratching/getting scuffed up. Only pet peeve about the skin are at the corners of the case. It might be more noticeable since I'm using a brighter color. At the corners the skin seems to curve down into them. The alignment is correct and I only applied enough pressure to work the skin on. Could be the skin cut or the design variance in my case (thanks mass production). Anyone else seeing this? Hmm not sure why XDA Labs app flipped my images 90 degrees to the left :eek:.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Jaxidian:
When you say 99.9% coverage, do you mean the usable screen or the glass bezel past the usable screen has a bit that isn't covered?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Got a different skin and it looks a lot better than the Titanium. This is the Black Matrix skin and the texture also feels really awesome.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] fitchpuckman:
Dang, I really like the idea of this case but not sure I can work with such a tight fingerprint sensor cutout. I use the swipe up/down to look at my notification shade all the time, and that seems like it would be really frustrating with this case. Not to mention having larger hands means a little space around the sensor would be nice.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
Have your tried to redo your finger prints with the new case on?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] idees:
hi there,

did anyone try the dbrand screen protector/glass ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] mgp53:
I believe in the manufacturing process, some screens have more curvature at the edge then others. On my wife's 3xl, the same TGSP lays flat all the way around. No bridging at all. Mine is NOT the same.

Tried several different types withe the same results. :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] GRRemlin:
Any issues with dust and dirt collecting in the corners of the case?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RagedElimanator:
People have reported the Prism collecting dust pretty easily. Regarding the case, I just checked there is dust piling up, but I would say it is not so bad.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
search yourself, that's the least expected from you

Right now EDL Tool is all you need, just use it to unlock, then flash TWRP and follow guides on how to do whatever you want to accomplish (rooted stock, mifavor 5.2 or stock+, custom Treble ROMs, whatever). If you get error 7 then you forgot to flash something, probably the bootstack, remember that

Do NOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY STOCK, don't relock by panic like most buttheads here do

I did do some research i know you need miflash and or edl. When i look on YouTube"axon 7 root edl" I see people taking their phone apart. Do i really need to do this just to unlock bootloader or just to root. Anyway to root and or unlock bootloader without taking my phone apart. I am doing research but Im stuck.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
you gotta step up your search game, that's for sure

Youtube is definitely not the best place to look... There are countless guides here in XDA. What you found in youtube were guides on how to get to EDL from a DFU brick, which is a totally unrelated matter to rooting

I don't want to lay it out to you, and I won't. Just know that you can enter EDL by using "adb reboot edl" and then you can use EDL Tool to unlock and flash TWRP
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawprints1986:
I just wondered if anyone knows of any sort of "unofficial" ways of running virtualbox, or some other emulator that will let me run Linux and therefore edit Linux img files.

Both of my systems (PC and laptop) are too old to officially support visualization, according to the Intel processor identification utility ....

... All I want to do is dig in and put either the nougat or Oreo kernel into the marshmallow rom (in zimage which I currently can't get to), in the hopes of running Samsung's marshmallow rom in such a way that will work on my Samsung Galaxy s7 which unfortunately runs bootloader version 3 (I thought unlocked meant truly unlocked, as in could install whichever bootloader you wanted without sw rev check but that's a whole other topic).

As of right now everything else works, except that instead of vibration, there is a quiet beep.

*or* is there some sort of another custom kernel that I'd be able to successfully use that is neither of the ones in the official firmware but will still accomplish what I want?

I'm after the settings menu in marshmallow, that simplistic look, complete with quick settings (no, not the toggles. But rather the shortcuts to specific settings at the top of the regular settings menu that you use often). I'm also after the chunkier, thicker appearance of the notification toggles/quick settings that can be seen in Samsung's lollipop and marshmallow Roms notification drawer that I know of for sure. I love just being able to slide those toggles to access additional ones beyond the first 5, instead of in nougat or Oreo having to pull down twice. Other than trying to take the touchwiz out of touchwiz I don't know why they removed that feature. I'm rare but I'm a fan of touchwiz interface. Nougat and Oreo all but removed it entirely. Trying to mimic pure stock.

I want to keep things Samsung, I'm a fan of many aspects of their software. Especially the older versions

Can anyone offer any advice besides getting a new computer, putting up with nougat or Oreo, or installing a custom rom?

We do have an older Mac laptop too, but barely know how to navigate a Mac. And being older likely also doesn't support visualization.

[Amazfit] cesareogallego:
I bought an Amazfit Stratos few days ago. GPS positioning is perfect but altitude/altimeter totally wrong and unstable. If I go to compass widget and wait for calibration I see tham gps the coordinates and pressure value are stables but altitude is changing between +-200m all the time. Watch's firmware is 2.3.7.0. Any idea?
[Amazfit] lfom:
What kind of activity are you using? Some use GPS while others use the barometer/altimeter. To reset sensors, turn OFF watch for around 15s (restarting IS NOT enough).
[Amazfit] cesareogallego:
I see that problem for example in the compass widget
[Amazfit] anox:
That altitude reading is from the GPS. So, the accuracy depends totally on the GPS which I find not very accurate.

The altitude calculated from the barometer isn't that accurate either. :)

Edit: This is not specific to Pace/Stratos. The altitude calculated using GPS/pressure, in general, is not that accurate. :)
[Amazfit] galwayguy:
My old Suunto was very accurate & barometric should be if it is reset to local pressure. But the Pace is totally inaccurate - I often walk by the sea & get wildly different readings.
[Amazfit] anox:
GPS Altitude

A device with a better GPS chip would obviously be more accurate than one with a low-cost GPS chip.

What I'm saying here is that in general the accuracy of the GPS altitude reading depends on many factors such as the satellite configurations, signal blockage, and atmospheric conditions. The vertical error is much more than the horizontal error. Even Garmin says it is not uncommon for GPS heights to be off by +/- 400 ft.

https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=QPc5x3ZFUv1QyoxITW2vZ6&searchType=noProduct

Pressure Altitude

Local pressure with known altitude surely makes the pressure altitude calculation better. Even with that, to get an accurate altitude difference between 2 locations, both measurements must be performed at the same time and hoping the weather (air density, temperature, etc) doesn't go wild at the 2 locations. That's why I say pressure altitude isn't that accurate. :)

With all that being said, from my initial testing using my Pace, it seems pressure altitude is more accurate than GPS altitude and I'm planning to create an app for the watch to show pressure altitude with reference point calibration. Hopefully, it's more accurate than what is available on the watch now.
[Amazfit] galwayguy:
The altitude is wrong but the barometric is accurate

For a dirty install of an update, all you have to do is boot into TWRP and install the new ROM zip, then flash the DFE zip, then reboot into the system. You can wipe the cache and dalvik cache after installing the zips, but i dont think it is nesessary.
