[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00194:
Hi all, Has anyone scratched the plastic body on the 3a yet? I know there is a video from JerryRigEverything but I normally don't draw on the back of my phones with sharp tools. This is more of a real world question. Has anyone dropped their's by accident? Or has the phone slid across a rough surface? How does it look afterwards.? Thank you for reading.

Yes, I know using a case is ideal but I normally ditch the case after the phone is a few months old. I also have a tempered glass on it considering some folks say it is inferior to Gorilla Glass.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
I have mine in a case so havent had any issues. But if your gorilla glass always gets scratched im assuming from not using a screen protector, then why do u even care if the plastic gets scratchex?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I run a glad screen protector and case. I'm too hard on my phones to go unprotected.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] wpghtc:
It’s Dragontail glass, not gorilla glass.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Same hardness, scores lower on bend testing. In other words you'll be ok without the protector or more accurately as ok as you would be with the gorilla.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
It you read the quoted post. He always removes his cases meaning scratches. So before you quote the obvious hes probably had phones that were gorrilla glass.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00194:
I do care about the plastic back getting scratched. This is why I asked the question. I also started to care about the screen this is why I have a tempered glass protector this time around. I bought one off of Amazon for 5 bucks and it has been great (Covers the entire screen and has black boarders. I bought another one with the cutouts but didn't like it as much.).

You're right, I did not use a screen protector on my other phones with Gorilla Glass (Oneplus 5T, Nexus 6p). I haven't had a plastic phone in a long time so I'm just curious about scratches...if anyone has any.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
Buy a case buy a screen protector it will scratch over time.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00194:
Thanks. I got both. I'm still curious how bad the real life scratches look. Anyone not using a case or skin and has scratches, I would love to see pictures. I couldn't find any scratch test videos on youtube so this is why I'm asking.

If no one has any, no biggie. This thread can be deleted.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Oh no, not much activity around here, if the thread got deleted that would significantly reduce the total body of knowledge in the 3a sub sections of the forum! :)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] leemacca25:
I didnt want to use a case with this as i actually enjoy the feel of the phone and think its pretty premium! Unfortunately it did slide out of my pocket getting out of the car early on and landed on concrete. The screen has no marks and held up well however on the side there were two small chips of the plastic that annoy my ocd brain but to be honest they have smoothed out over time and made it easier for me to accept there may be other small imperfections over time.

Im generally careful with the phone but its not gained any scratches on the plastic body since bought at launch :good:

Im very impressed with it and its the first phone in a long time ive enjoyed using.

I did try a Spigen clear case but it felt horrible to me so i only use it for nights out etc when i may be less careful.

Hope this helps!
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Ganome317:
the first 3A XL I purchased from Best buy, I did not have a case on it. I own the phone for about a week before returning it and I did somehow chip off some of the black on the back of the case. When it was not in my pocket it was in my hand being used. I never dropped this device, but somehow it seemed like some of the paint just flaked off. I returned it because the warranty through Best buy was bogus and I bought the device through my carrier, Google Fi. I've used this device for almost 2 weeks with no case and no problems so far. I just put a rhino shield case on it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
My original defected Pixel, just a few weeks without a case or screen protector looked horrible.. I never dropped it on the ground, but just falling from the dash to the floor of truck, it took a beating.. First phone I had that scratched as easy as this one.. Now new phone, has a case, and screen protector.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
Every Pixel I've ever seen has that paint chipping problem. I've seen it on every number. Personally bought a Pixel XL OG last summer to use for a month or 2 and the back was so chipped I genuinely thought that it had been roughed up or something. Nope just ****ty paint chipped off from being hot and the metal showing behind it. Most likey from being in case. So far hasn't happened to my 3A yet.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00262:
This is plastic not metal. Grab a dbrand or xtremeskin and put in a tpu case should be fine
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
had my glass screen protector crack on edge from something pressed against it, tool in my pocket with phone. the plastic body has a slight nick on the edge by the display. No crack on the actual display itself. I'm happy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Recently my S6 Edge Plus has been having battery drain problems and instead of just reinstalling it I have decided to put a custom ROM on it. My previous phone was a Galaxy S5 and there were a plenty of ROMs available on XDA back then. Now that I have the S6 Edge Plus I really can't find a ROM that suits me and is still supported or has reviews and stuff like that. So I have decided make this new thread and just ask you for recommendations. I am actually a fan of Samsung's UI and apart from the bloatware apps (Facebook, Whatsapp and lot of Samsung crap that constanly autoupdates) I quite like it and would like to countinue using it. I am looking for a ROM that is basically stock samsung one but has battery improvements and some other extras (also prerooted would be nice). I saw a lot of ports from the newer Galaxy devices but I am not a huge fan of them because the UI is usually made for the new 18:9 display and the corners are rounded and I really dont like that. I searched for a ROM like that but couldn't really find one so I need your help :)

I checked it out but saddly it is the exact opposite of what I am looking for. I'd like to keep my phone stock and only get the battery improvements abd other little extras. I am not really into ported ROMs from other devices.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] KewbZ:
That looks so nice. I'd make it but I won't give up warranty..
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
There is no trace of it, it's all glued. If I want warranty I'll put the blue cover on that I've also ordered from the same store ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] fp1707:
Wait so I can just buy this transparent back and I don't need any more tools?

I have a purple one. I kind of want to do this. But also am afraid. I put a metallic skin similar to the attached image on my back cover rn. I hope I can keep my current back intact and have a separate transparent one.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
The only tools you need that i'snt supplied are a hairdryer or heatgun and a small plastic card:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8JSDC4_xfY

As you see removal is super easy. You probably even could reinstall your old back if you want. However this will depend on how neatly you will pull it of as you kinda distort the tape that's behind the cover on removal. I would suggest to buy both a Explorer back and your original color so you could always return to stock easily, yes this would mean you'll need another one of those brushed metal decals too.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] fp1707:
Hair dryer and card. EZ, I'm ordering this.

I'm in USA so I can forget about warranty lol. I imported this one from AliExpress seller. I don't need my pink back back. I have it skinned anyway XD

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Also I'm confused. In it first pic, is that the stock back? With a square if transparency? Or?

Did u do anything to make it completely clear (the end few pictures) cause I thought even transparent version has a gradient
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
The rear is full transparant with a smoked gradient. The blueish square in the picture is the foil / masking tape on the cover that is removed before install. Good luck!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] fp1707:
Ohhh ic so the blue it's the transparent glass and not your stock beck glass as I assumed
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Chillman90:
I really like the look of the transparent back and I'm thinking of doing it, too. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

However I dropped my phone a week ago. I just sat on a chair and it slipped out of my sleeve (this one: amazon.de/Adore-June-Handyh%C3%BClle-Extrafach-Display-Reinigungseffekt-Schwarz-Grau/dp/B01M0QJP0Z/ref=sr_1_20?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=adore+june&qid=1560587403&s=gateway&sr=8-20 but not sure if it was the version for the iPhone 7). :crying: I love these kind of sleeves as it cleans the screen and you have the naked phone in your hand while using it. The phone was in my sleeve in my pocket and slipped out of both. The sleeve even stayed in my pocket. Now it has minor to medium scratches on the metal frame :crying: (I guess I was lucky as nothing more happened).

I found a replacement part on eBay:

ebay.de/itm/100-Original-New-For-XiaoMi-MI-9-M9-Mi9-6-39-Front-Middle-Screen-Housing-Frame/183761129187?var=691361475323

And a video how do do it on youtube:

youtube.com/watch?v=V8m2JB7y4YU&t=328s

But I think you have to dig through the whole phone to replace it and I'm not sure if it's worth taking the risks. If I do replace this part I'll add the transparent back for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] M1LL3R:
Amazing. Already ordered. Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] duvee:
I did the same for my redmi note 5 pro.. I needed to strip down the whole device in order to place a new screen and touchpad. It was stressfull, but it all worked out really well. Never done that before
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] genniegennie:
What adhesive did you used?

I want to use famous B-6000 or B-7000 but don't know if this is best choice for transparent one.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
Adhesive is already applied to the cover (double sided tape) when you buy it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] aeeon:
I guess the simcard tray stays blue ? Is there one shipped with the glass ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
The sim tray should stay blue as the blue aluminum frame is unchanged
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] denzel09:
What kind of glue have you used? Can you share the link? Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] PriPhaze:
is it actual glass or just plastic?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
It's the same cover as stock, so I'd say glsss
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] genniegennie:
It's not the same as stock but it's glass (probably not gorilla).

I ordered 2, blue and transparent.

Blue is not even close to stock "ocean blue", just plain reflective blue without holo/rainbow effect. I know that on the real photo (store page) it was not looking like "ocean blue".

Transparent one and that dimmed effect is just a foil attached to the back side of the glass. So at least you can easily make fully transparent glass (removing dimming foil is easy).

Also brand in print is missing comma and dots, "Co Ltd" instead of "Co., Ltd." (transparent). In print is miss aligned, a little bit off horizontally (blue).

[IMG="cover"]https://i.imgur.com/Mo5kmDD.png[/IMG]

I'm not mad because I was expecting fakes for that price but still, calling it "original" is a little bit misleading.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories] Vin87:
Great eye for detail. I received the blue one earlier this week and indeed the holo effect is missing.

On the foil, thats typically how glass covers are colored, so that's nothing out of the ordinary.

On the brand print, my transparant one is printed "Co., Ltd." so it seems there are multiple versions floating around ?

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedavidp:
I have a friend who purchased a Zenfone Max M1 Pro made for the market in India (and maybe elsewhere) for use in the US. He did not realize that the bands used overseas would not be helpful in the US. I am trying to help him. He is on T-Mobile and really needs LTE band 4 so he can use his CellSpot device at his home. Sadly, the device he bought lacks this band.

I have been reading and trying several things since I rooted this device. First I tried the well documented approach using the QXDM utility. It turned out this did not work on this device. Not entirely sure why. But this user <https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79713339&postcount=3> claims it is because the phone in question "does not have a programmable radio firmware" and "Network parameters are pre-installed in mcfg_sw.mbn files, also the per carrier volte parameters are embedded in this folder". He then says "mcfg_sw.mbn files can be deleted and installed by QFIL in QPST. "

So I am willing to try going this route. In looking around, it seems that users looking to change their phone's Qualcomm configuration have been finding users with "compatible" phones online and getting ahold of their files of this type and installing them + some additional properties changes. Sadly, Asus did not make a version of the Zenfone Max M1 Pro for the US market and so I have been trying to find another Asus Zenfone that seems possibly compatible from which I could try to do the same.

This brings me to this forum and post... In looking at the specs, the Zenfone 5q and the Zenfone Max M1 Pro seem to share many common features. It is true that one uses the Snapdragon 636 while the other uses the 630. But from what I have read, they employ the same modem. So I am hoping that I may be able to succeed using files from the 5q.

So I am asking to see if some rooted (you need to be in order to access the folder/files in question) 5q owners/users might be able to help. On the M1 Pro, the files are all located under this folder: /firmware/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs. So I am guessing/hoping that the same location will be used on the 5q. It it is, could someone possibly zip up the contents of that entire folder and make it available somehow? I could then compare what you have to what I have here and maybe try some file swapping.

Any other tips/suggestions are always welcome too.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] ssurampu:
In notification panel, the sound icon allows me 3 modes. 1 is default all sounds. 2nd is vibrant with some sounds and 3rd mute everything.

But when I chage to third mode i.e pressing sound icon 2nd time then playing any music, i can still get the sound i.e it is not actually muting the media sound.

This was not the case for my previous phone. With one touch, i was able to every thing.

Is there a way to mute all sounds with one touch widget? Or is this a bug with existing notification widget?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Sufyan3D:
This has always been the case with Samsung phones. The mute mode turns off notifications/ringtones only. This comes in handy when people watch movies/videos or listen to music (which use media volume) and don't want to be interrupted by notification sounds.

After a few minutes of conversation, the micro and speaker are down, at the moment of the screen is becoming black, due to energy saving.

I have to tap the screen to relight it et after to select speaker to be able to hear and speak with my correspondant again...

Anyone an idea how to fix this?

Or does anyone knows another solution to use the RC E100/W100 headset than installing the remotecontroller cab?

Hello

All new to this phone. I had a Ringke slim case with my last Galaxy phone (S5). I decided to buy a note 8 due to a heavily reduced price and because I could get a Ringke slim - best type of case I've ever put on a phone!

Now I have the phone and the case and I would also like a tempered glass. Do any of you know which one that can be fitted without lifting the edges when the Ringke Slim is on?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Ahzriaz:
Hi all.

I’m experiencing a problem with my dataconnection which renders my data connection almost unusable.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction!

The situation, I am using a Oneplus 6T with 2 sim-cards. One for calls one for data. The sim I use for data loses the connection multiple times while commuting to work (train).

It happens on the same locations so I assume it has to do with switching between towers. The connections completly drops to no signal (the other card still has a signal).

After the connection drop one of the following happens:

-	Reconnect to 4G after a few secons to minute(s)

-	Reconnects to H+ and stays connected to H+ until I switch aiplane mode on and off). Even when getting of the train and waiting on the same spot it hangs on H+ until I use airplane mode.

What did I already try.

-	New SIM card from provider (Tele2)

-	Complete profile reset by provider and check of APN settings

-	Tried both SIM slots

-	Tried the SIM card in another telephone (connection does not completely drop)

-	Use another provider (T-Mobile) with this phone. The data connections seems to work fine on T-Mobile.

So it looks like a combination between Tele2 and the Oneplus.

(By the way Tele2 falls back to h+ and 3g from T-mobile if they can't provide 4G)

Thanks for reading and all tips and tricks.
