My XL tough armor will be arriving tomorrow... may or may not have accidentally ordered the tough armor for the non-XL pixel and got frustrated when I opened the package.. build quality looks good: much more interior padding than the rugged armor case for the OG XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] gettinwicked:
So far I'm really loving the new slim. I've had one for my 2xl and 3xl, and this is the best one so far. It's much grippier, and a bit slimmer. It feels like it would better protect my phone than the last two though. Can't wait for the white one to drop.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] btonetbone:
I just got my Liquid Air Armor case, and am mostly happy with it. I had read some people having difficulty with the fit (microphone not being centered, camera not fitting), but mine fits great. The case has some modest "grippiness", but is not too rubberized/sticky. The lip extends slightly past the screen and slightly past the camera, so I feel better putting the phone down on a flat surface. And I prefer thin cases, I'm less concerned about turning my phone into a tank that can withstand being thrown. I think this would probably help if the phone calls off my nightstand, but probably not much else.

My only minor gripe is that I wish the cut around the camera were sliiiiightly tighter; it shows an awkward amount of orange underneath. Other than that, I recommend this case for those that want thin!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] EQ811977:
I am using this one as well. New out of the box it was pretty slick in the hand. After a few days that slick coating is gone. Mine is the same with the cut around the camera but don't notice it much with the all black phone. Nice case for the price.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] frontlyna:
Tough armor is a go. New tech with drop protection and a lovely form factor and fit..
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] matlear:
Got the tough armour myself, feels really nice in the hand, no issues swiping in from the sides, only downside is it is a little heavy. Didn't receive my tempered glass yet, hopefully the case won't be an issue.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] SinisterXReaper:
Yesterday I ordered the Neo hybrid for me, and the slim armor essential s for my girlfriend's 4. We've been treating our phones like a newborn baby ? can't wait for the cases to arrive
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] krabman:
Was giving it a little time but I can now safely say I don't like the Neo-Hybrid: The buttons are difficult to push and the side plastic is much more slippery than the previous Neo's I've owned. There is also something else I feel like I should report but it isn't specific to Spigen. With a different color case on the phone it almost appears as if the phone has two foreheads. One big black forhead with another one that is case colored on top of that. Keep in mind the bezels on the 3a XL didn't bother me at all. Once I saw it with this phone I couldn't unsee it and it's bugging me. I'm not the only noticing this phenomena since it was mentioned in one of the reviews I read. Whatever else I get will be black to see if I can reduce the double forehead syndrome. Just an FYI...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] 21cdb:
I got the Thin Fit, and I don't like it that much. The edges are too sharp and stick up too much along the sides of the screen, and it interferes with gestures. The sharpness of the edges makes it kind of painful to do the back gesture. If the sides didn't stick up past the screen it would have been a great case, but it's back to the drawing board for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] hokiealumnus:
I have the Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear and it's flippin' gorgeous. That said, it was also gorgeous on my OG Pixel XL. Problem is the TPU plastic on the sides (not the clear hard plastic back) yellows over time. It'll stay like this for a good six months or more but will eventually look dingy. It's just the way of things unless Spigen has done something different with their plastics. Thankfully they have a new model with black TPU bumpers and the clear back, so when this one yellows I'll get that one. It looks so nice on my panda P4XL, it's worth the temporary nature of the clear. :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] spudkinks:
I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear from Amazon to show off the oh so orange... It fits really snuggly, in a good way. But it's too bulky for me, and I don't really like how coral the phone is in bright light. I'm returning the case.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] nxt:
The Thin Fit on the Pixel 3 XL was awesome, hate it on the Pixel 4 XL. I got the white, it's too slippery, and seems thicker than the Pixel 3 version. It does cover more than the Pixel 3 version did though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] TheSleezkIng:
I have a clear Caseology one but needed a black one for rainy days (clear ones get messed up in jeans on rainy days lol) The Spigen rugged armor one is thick enough but not bulky
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] wolfeyes30:
Received my Spigen Ultra Hybrid (matte black trim clear back) today. The fit is great and comes with an orange and white changeable power buttons. $12.99 on Amazon if interested.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] wrongway213:
Love the Tough Armor on this device. Nice and sturdy without too much bulk.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] deano121:
I have the spigen Rugged Armor and its really nice and grippy
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] gettinwicked:
I was seriously coming to this thread to mention that the white thin fit is out. When I saw it on Amazon a couple weeks ago, it said November 4th or something. I just ordered it yesterday.

You say it's slippery? I have the black, and while it's not super grippy, I don't feel like I'd ever drop it from it sliding out of my hand. Maybe the two are made differently? I get mine today, so, I guess I'll find out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] gettinwicked:
Sooo, the black and the white thin fit cases ARE different... I've had the black one since I got my phone a couple weeks ago. It's the exact same size as the white, but it's super grippy. It feels really nice in the hands. Definitely feels quality too. The white IS fairly slippery. I'm sooo disappointed. I really like the white, but I'm not sure I can use this without dropping the phone. And the only other white case I can find is the Peel. Having had one for my 3xl, it provides zero protection, and will be as slippery if not more.

Having said that, I am going to give it a couple days. I made out fine with the peel, I just had to be super careful. We'll see.

Anyway, definitely get the black one! You'll change your mind about the case for sure.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] rajendra82:
For those of you considering Neo Hybrid for Pixel 4 XL, please be aware that it's much worse than any other Neo Hybrid variant I've ever tried. The version Pixel 4 XL seems somewhat more slippery and it also makes the buttons on the side much harder to push after putting on. After using it for a few days I had to give up on it. This is so sad because the Neo Hybrid was my favorite case for the Pixel 2XL.

Now I'm rocking the ESR Mimic case with the glass back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] krabman:
I posted a similar summary above, also previously had on a couple devices. For those considering this case I'd be wary, I ditched mine after just a few days. It's bulkier than usual, slipperier than usual, feels of lower quality, the buttons are very difficult to push. Be afraid.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
Love the esr mimic. I was able to get a deal on it before my 4xl was delivered and it's just a great case.

I got the white 4xl and it looks great under the tempered glass.

The tpu bumper is very grippy too. I'm sure the tpu will yellow eventually, but I'm going to enjoy it until then.

I just 5 minutes ago took it off to try a case I was sent for free and I'm sure I'll be back to the mimic very soon as the new case, while very protective, is very bulky and I'm not always in need of great protection.

I also have the google fabric case and the totallee frosted clear case, which is so thin it's kind of crazy. I do like it though.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] PancakeBimmer:
During the back cover replacement process the small lens/diffuser for camera flash went missing. :eek:

Back cover that I ordered came without camera lens&flash lens/diffuser because I could salvage it from old cover and so that was the option I did choose at the time.

Now, with the flash lens/diffuser missing I am hoping someone can point me in a right direction where I can buy either flash lens/diffuser only or perhaps camera lens with flash lens/diffuser as an assembly.

I asked seller that I bought rear cover from and he can sell the whole rear cover assembly together for $35 :rolleyes:, and other sellers that I have asked about camera lens have replied back saying the lens/diffuser for flash is not included :crying:

Any suggestions or pointers?

So hello, I'll come right to the point.

I have a rooted Galaxy S7 and it's working good but I want to make a backup of my /data so I can format the data partition from TWRP, as it's encrypted and I can't turn it off (I can disable secure boot but even if I restart the device it doesn't show the option to decrypt the data partition) (cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301383158509600780/633697401802194955/Screenshot_20191015-180241_Settings.jpg).

Sry for discord, couldn't find anything else to upload from mobile :/

I have rooted with Magisk v.20 and everything else is working really good so I dont want to loose my setup and redo it.

Also how do I update the firmware without removing Magisk? What partition do I need to exclude?

It says unlocked for CARRIER, but you think it will be unlockable bootloader too, like the one from Google?

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1507485-REG/google_ga01184_us_pixel_4_xl_128gb.html

Comes with $100 gift card + 3 months free Mint + no tax in many states, so there is some reason to get it from here instead. Anyone have experience buying carrier-unlocked Pixels from B&H before, if they had unlockable bootloaders?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] riyan65:
As I know all devices should be bootloader unlocked, so you can choose any device, it just doesn't matter, so go for you choice.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] itiskonrad:
That wasn't the case with the Pixel 3 at launch, though. Back then, to get unlockable bootloader, you had to order from Google directly. Is it different now?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] riyan65:
After the release of pixel 3a it should be unlockable to all devices, like verizon, best-buy,......, So it should be unlockable.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] l7777:
The OP is asking about bootloader unlock (developer and root friendly). Everything you've said screams carrier unlock.

The bootloader is the low level piece of software on your device that loads the OS (Android) and everything else. It comes locked on every device for security and prevents unauthorized OS code from loading. This is completely separate from being carrier unlocked which allows you to use the device on any cellular carrier. Being able to unlock it and load any OS code has meant purchasing the device directly from Google in the past. Verizon devices for example never allowed the bootloader to be unlocked.

For the OP, since very few people understand the difference between those two things (even Google support), it will likely be a case where people will need to buy the device from B&H to find out.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] riyan65:
If you search a little bit, you will able to unlock bootloader in verizon model too, verizon bootloader unlock is available for all pixel device and it going to be continued, so buying the device from Google is bootloader unlock for sure, buying from others buyers is just need a little time to get unlock the bootloader.

Verizon Pixel 3 XL still has a locked bootloader and is still not unlockable:

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] ktmom:
Since you're so sure this is true, please go help all of the Verizon device owners who post looking to unlock the bootloader. You could start with this recent Pixel 3XL post.

Of course, there is also the history that dates back to at least Nexus 6 days where the Verizon bootloader is locked.

Where people have really gotten bitten, is replacement devices that have come back after repairs with a unlockable bootloader like the Verizon devices have.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] ViperPyro:
This. Verizon Pixel 2 official and any RMA Pixel 2 is not bootloader unlockable. As someone who has been through 4 until Google finally sent me a brand new Google-made Pixel 2, non Verizon, non RMA.

I haven't seen any reason to say Pixel 4 Verizon is easily unlockable.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] l7777:
You have clearly never tried to bootloader unlock a Verizon device or you have some significantly different tools to do so and should share them with the community.

As others have pointed out, plenty of devices across the Pixel generations remain bootloader locked to this day. There are certainly smatterings of success stories with specific firmware versions but these are quickly patched.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] sic0048:
There was recently some people that were able to unlock their Verizon Pixel 3a/XL modes after getting Verizon to carrier unlock them. But it has been attributed to a batch of MEID# that were likely incorrectly made available to bootloader unlock. Those people basically won the lottery. It certainly does not signal a change in Verizon's policy.

The best strategy is to have this mentality - if you buy a phone from Verizon (or any Verizon model phone) plan on it being permanently bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] riyan65:
I just unlock the bootloader as the given guide and it got unlocked, I didn't done anything to get it unlocked, I just use the guide how to unlock the bootloader and it got unlocked.so I thought it is available for all devices to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] ktmom:
On non carrier specific devices, it's easy. On Verizon Google devices, it's rarely possible, and any vulnerability that's found is patched fast.

An authoritative statement like your post was is a problem. It has the potential to confuse the issue for people who come here for information, find an erroneous post and think they can safely buy a carrier device, still getting the bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
Verizon was always a **** regarding unlocking bootloaders, they still haven't changed unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] l7777:
Yes. One does have to wonder what the bootloader unlock situation will look like now that the Pixel will be available from all carriers directly rather than just Verizon. Google still only lists Verizon as the only carrier specific option on their store. We will likely have to wait and see if the other carriers get unlockable bootloaders or not.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
Hi, I got my Mi 3 this week. I noticed some weird behavior from my magnetometer and Accelerometer, wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same. After a day of use, sensors go haywire and suddenly stop reporting data. Can't use compass and my auto rotate stops working. I tried different apps to see if it's a global problem or just a not compatible app, so far when sensors go blank, the effect is global. Even the Mi self test is not reading anything from the sensors. Pedometer is on the other hand operational tho.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
Things come back to normal after a restart. I suspect it must be a software bug maybe?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] greenpays:
My sensors are working but they are wrongly calibrated :/ and pedometer isn't working! I thought the pedometer was disactivated by default...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
Dial *#*#6484#*#* it's the built-in test. U can recalibrate your accelerometer there and also test the device. Use power button to exit. And for +-45 test's of the accelerometer tilt your device on it's corners.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] greenpays:
Thanks for the tip :) it works perfectly!

By the way, you are using European firmware or Global, because for me the pedometer isn't counting the steps :/
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
I'm glad to hear it worked for you. My pedometer comes and goes... Not reliable unfortunately. btw how can I check my ROM region? Got the October patch, It doesn't solve the bug...

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
Well I seem to have the global version. MIXM

I hope they get problems solved fast.

If anybody else with the device is reading this post, can you please check your sensors with an appropriate app and see if yours is also malfunctioning randomly?

I had this problem, but I just restarted the device and everything came back normal

Go to Accessibility settings and turn on Touch Vibration. Keeping it off also hinders the in call volume function. Hope it helps
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
Well yeah, it did work actually. But the thing is, I don't like to have the touch vibrations on always, I just want it to work with G-board and some other apps that use short vibrations as a feedback...

It's like the touch vibrations setting, controls everything lol.

It's definitely a bug they have to get fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] sherlock.holmes:
So it turns out the sensor problem that I reported is being caused by the G-cam port I had installed. The solution is to close the app (in the multitasking menu !?) Whenever you are done using it.
