[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] azztech30:
Hi guys,

Update on my Mate XS

So the film did peal from the top of the screen, so got it picked up like my earlier post however it got sent to SBE repairs in the UK. Now this phone was less then a month old. It came back with deep scratches on the screen and with the hinge not feeling great. So away it went again to be returned this time with a bad dimple along the middle when unfolded again not feeling right. So 3 step in and I get a brand new handset.

All good so far however I did notice on this one it had a card in the box saying '' LEAVE PHONE IN UNFOLDED POSITIONS IF LEFT FOR LONG PERIODS'' could this be why they start to peal as they are shipped open in the box? is this the reason for the scree peel?

Anyway what are your guys thoughts?

My Mate XS screen protection is coming off after 3 weeks of carefull use.

Sick that this is happening to such an expensive phone.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] alizwiniy:
You can buy a new one from eBay, Amazon, aliexpeess
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] delinde:
I know mate but there is still the question about warrenty if i do that. Allso....is it even possible to use the phone without the protection on the screen and if yes....how fragile is the screen without the protective layer.

Still...had i known this i would never have bought the phone.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] alizwiniy:
According to some people that talk with huawei customers service takeoff the film not dispos the warranty. For using the phone without screen protector

Percenly I not advise. Although there is a lot off people using it without protector. And they said the screen lock better and doesn't feel cheap if you using it without protector. I read more than post on mate xs croup on Facebook about this topic
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] pachy 69:
This is concerning, are there Mate XS users who haven't had this issue ?

Screen protectors are available for these, has anyone removed the original & used an aftermarket one ? .. i wouldn't want to have to send the phone back every month ?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] delinde:
I went to an official Huawei service center with mine. They will send it to Huawei Denmark and will find out if i lose warrenty if i remove the film.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
I've had mine for 2 months now, no problem.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] pachy 69:
That's good to hear ?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] stefan288:
Mine get so many scratches...i went to huawei service center. They change for free. And it will be free whenever i need to change it.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] AGyllander:
My screen film started to loosen after about 2-3 weeks

I went to 2 different service centers and none of them had any replacement film or any idea of what they should do (this was in Stockholm)

So after that i decided to buy the 3rd party hydrogel screen protector from Aliexpress

and now as i look here i see a couple of you also did this so now my question is: do you apply it and leave it open or apply it and then close it?

Best regards

Andreas
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
Received them, but also half screwed up on the first one... For some stupid reason after lining up with step 1 I decided to do a last wipe of the first half and I inadvertently touched the back of the film with the wipe, sticking a bunch of lint to it :rolleyes:

Perfectly applied apart from that. The protector is about 2mm too wide though. I'll leave it on for a while anyway and "intentionally misuse" it i.e. put the phone down "normally" on any surface instead of being super careful to never put it on anything that isn't soft tissue to see how it wears out to see how careful I have to be after I put on the 2nd one, which I'll also trim prior to applying to avoid the bit sticking out on the left side. Seems to stick just fine on top of the stock one and not to unstick around the edges which I feared would be a problem.

What do you mean?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] AGyllander:
I was just wondering if you put on the screen protector when the phone is open or closed, and if there is a period after that while the protector dries you have to leave it like that?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
You have to put it with the phone open of course. No issue closing it straight away afterwards.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] alizwiniy:
For me I open and close the device normally.. Only after I apply the film directly I open and closed the device for more than one time to let the film take it position and then leaves the device open for more than hours,, then close it with no problem

Also I used the Hydrogel film with galaxy fold for months with no problem
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] delinde:
Finally something solid on warrenty

[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
OK, removed my first test and reapplied one after trimming 2mm off one side, and that's now pretty much perfect. Test one didn't get a single scratch in 2 weeks of using the phone as if it was a normal one. It's great how these TPU films "self-heal", it's exactly what I was after having had one for another phone more than a decade ago.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] Elmar1801:
Finally Huawei has new Screenprotectors and is able to apply without bubbles etc. Let's see how long they work.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] tarroyo:
I would like to see pics of users who have successfully installed the AliExpress protector on there device.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
Here's mine after close to a month.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
OK, mine's getting off as well now after 7 months:(

I think I'll remove it and install a new aliexpress one. Since those are more flexible I expect it shouldn't have the same problem...
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] HidoengPesek:
Same here, they replaced it two months ago at a Huawei Service Center in the Netherlands, where the staff already mentioned it would keep coming off because of the design of the phone... Now 2 months after the protective film replacement, it comes of again.... for the second time in 6 months. So bad for such a premium (cost) device.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
I've replaced mine and don't expect that one to do the same but we'll see... I think theirs isn't flexible enough. Anyway even if it does it's $8 and 15 minutes to replace it...
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] explicitcorp:
I just got a mate xs, how did this type of screen protector hold up?
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] kilrah:
Just fine, still have the same one on.
[Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers] Elmar1801:
Ready for the second replayment. Appointment is today at Huawei Duesseldorf. So looks like a lifetime of 6-8 Month.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koshac24:
Hello and thanks for taking the time to open this post.b

First of all I want to tell you that the phone is really nice and fast, it is a mid-range, it works very well, I have it relatively recently but the decision to root it still prevails, but I realized that there are no developers of Rom's for this beautiful and powerful 3x cocktail (2019).

So I will ask whoever is interested and has the possibility of getting to know him a little more. I would like to ask you to help me get a custom rom for a purer Android 9 experience, as many of us know, Alcatel is nothing else but another hand. to all its launchers, and it has some peculiarities that I don't like about it.

But ultimately my score for this phone is 7/10.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lol.mam:
Use Alcatel mobile upgrade tool, you can find it on the official Alcatel mobile website.

Download the latest version, even if It's for another phone, then install it and follow what it says. It worked for me, and I got the stock android 9 rom back.

I used version 5.8.4, and it worked for me. And I think it's still the latest version of the tool.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] apd:
Why would you want to - it's one of the only verifiable pieces of information a buyer can trust. I suspect noone will help you with this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Cristian.Ene:
Yes... you are right,... in case of selling the item, but i bought it as a present and i want to offer it as new... but it's not:P

we are on a forum so... any question is ok :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rhedgehog:
i know of no way to do this. It is not erased when updating a rom, so it is stored somewhere else within the hardware of the phone. I suspect that it is hardwired somewhere along with the IMEI, and so you cannot delete it.

Best not to tell people something is new when it's not, huh?

and no, not any question is ok. Ask about warez, changing IMEI numbers and generally how to screw people over tends to get a chilly response in most places!

Maybe because I don't have this issue and Beetle84 neither.

But did you install any other launcher previously?

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] thenewak:
Whats up guys....its been forever since Ive had to root a phone due to having Pixel 1-3XL until now.

Ive been looking at OP and now that they have a true flagship I just ordered my 8 Pro TODAY!!! IT was finally in stock.

So my question is does the OP still have the features from Pixels like screening calls, screenshots from the assistant, etc?

Ill be doing some searches tonight...just trying to get some quick answers... a little excited.

TIA
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Good questions
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
It doesn't have Pixel specific features like Call Screening, Recorder etc. But most, if not all, Google Assistant functionality is available on the OP8 Pro (as on many other devices)..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] masri1987:
No Caller ID even?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
The phone dialer app on the OP8 Pro is different than the Google dialer app so you don't get the standard features that the Pixel has.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Grimm-reaper:
I had OnePlus 7 pro and swapped to Pixel 4 XL. In overall Pixel is much better than any OnePlus device. As long as you don't really need ultra wide angel camera or 5g is not any reason to buy OnePlus. The difference between genuine Pixel software and Oxygen OS is so huge that using both is different experience, obviously genuine Android is far better in any aspect. Oxygen OS is Chinese crap which kills background activities like all Chinese Android skin and doesn't work stable enough. Finally you will have to flash buggy Pixel Experience rom and semi working Gcam mod instead for slightly better hardware which really not make difference in daily usage as long as the ultra wide lens or 5g is not absolutely must have for you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
I've owned a Pixel 4 XL and would still be owning it if it wasn't for the subpar battery life and the not too bright display. I'm not sure I understand your point about the Pixel's Android OS and Oxygen OS - they are probably the closest to stock Android (and the Pixel doesn't run "stock" Android but Google's slightly modified version of it). Have you tried any other manufacturers implementation of Android (One UI, Colour OS etc.) - they are way more different than Oxygen OS

I also think that you've forgotten about the Pixel also killing background activities in the past along with a slew of bugs that Google addressed over time - similar to what OnePlus will probably do.

Look, I'm not sticking up for OnePlus here - I think they did rush out a somewhat unfinished product. But I think Google did the same with the Pixel 4 XL and slapped it with some poor hardware decisions that cannot be fixed (No Ultrawide camera, small battery, 64GB base capacity and a relatively poor display).
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Pixel line had so much potential and Google killed it with subpar hardware. Yes the software it's good but they also kill processes because of the baby battery. I was a nexus/ pixel only user, but Google left me no choice, and one plus is the only thing that could even come close to take it's place, and is a way better phone
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] burtonlax:
I am in the SAME exact situation... Man, the days of crackflashing my galaxy nexus were suhweeeeeet. I am really looking forward to getting my OP8 Pro today and rooting it :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Grimm-reaper:
Oneplus use designed battery capacity in marketing. In real world they use poor quality battery and to decrease degradation batteries are limited in software. E.X. In 7 Pro designed capacity is 4000 mAh for maximum voltage 4.4V but because of software limitation you cannot charge battery beyond about 4.3V. The real capacity is about 10% lower than declared. In Pixel 4 XL I noticed that new battery had 103 - 104% designed capacity. Finally on my 7 pro real battery capacity was over 200 mAh lower than on my Pixel 4 XL. In my opinion Pixel firmware is far better than Oxygen OS and the difference is really dramatic.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] c_86:
I came form a p4xl too to the op8p. Would love to get call screen. That's the only thing I am missing so far
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] chetly968:
Dammit, don't dissuade me from soending my money, lol. I was psyched to order this on preorder day but they ran out of stock before I could click 'check out'. Same for launch day. Now the shine has worn off since I've been waiting a couple weeks. Was gonna ship tomorrow but now I'm thinking of cancelling my order. I'm happy with my Note 10 plus but want the latest and greatest.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Grimm-reaper:
Oneplus 8 Pro has obviously noticeable better hardware in all aspects than Pixel 4. It's not bad bad at least my 7 Pro wasn't bad phone just software on my opinion is much better on Pixel. Some people doesn't care or install custom rom but since you try genuine Pixel you will notice difference.

Hi all,

I am trying to reflash the unbranded firmware back on my unlocked S20 Ultra with Odin 3.14.4. I was able to flash the T-mo version, and currently my phone is tmo branded, so that worked, but everytime I try to flash back i get the SHA256 error. I do not know if it is because I am trying to flash the wrong firmware or I am doing something else wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks everyone.

So I installed and it went back to the stock firmware. No longer do I have the tmobile bootscreen or additional software. What I am concerned with though is I tried an OTA update and I get: Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center.

What can I do about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Stank0:
If you used HOME_CSC, that might be your culprit.

I had this issue when I flashed TMO firmware on the unlocked phone. With me being lazy, I didn't want to start from scratch and flashed HOME_CSC to experience this exact issue. As soon as I flashed with full wipe, this issue was solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] d_ganggreen:
That was the issue. I factory reset from the phone itself and all is good now. I do NOT have the native advanced messaging though

You mean Samsung messenger?
