How's the side sensitivity with the screen protector? Still trying to find one that doesn't affect the side sensitivity.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Deleted member 11223717:
It seems to be working fine. I can swipe to go back to the previous screen.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] steffanos:
Hi,

I had recently bought this phone and currently looking for a film protector for the screen. Which one do you suggest?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] blackhawk:
See my above post. Wet apply is the best way to go. My current one is over 8 months old.

Little wear for the amount of use it's seen.

When I get around to it I'll slam a new one on... at $5 a pop.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] steffanos:
I've found it on their website. Though there are 2 variants:

-LIQuid Shield™ Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector

-IQ Shield Matte™ Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector

Do you use regular one or matte?
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] blackhawk:
I've never used the matte finish.

I have a Note 10+ with the curved screen and it works well. It should be no problem at all with a flat screen. Pay attention to letting it adhere properly at first. I waited about 6 hours but it was hot.

(2-Pack) LiQuid Shield - Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector

(2-Pack) LiQuid Shield - Sony Xperia 5 II Screen Protector - We are constantly coming up with new ways to keep our electronic devices protected. While our IQ Shield is designed specifically for flat screen surfaces, we’ve also engineered a film that is able to completely cover your entire Sony...

www.iqshield.com
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] steffanos:
Because for matte they state it's anti-glare and better generally with fingerprint marks (not visible).

Thanks for the help. If the rest have something else, be free to recommend.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] blackhawk:
You simply wipe it occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth; fingerprints aren't an issue.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] Deleted member 11223717:
I haven't noticed a problem but I normally don't have it turned on.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories] gerhardo:
Amazon.se

Good value, seem to do its job.

Covers the flat part of the screen there is a a gap - as expected.

If you do not fit it perfectly, there may be a part that is not glued to the screen.

Quality seem good, maybe a little sharp edges.

I got what I expected, it may not be what you want though.

The fullscreen protectors are hard to fit and come off more easily. Some cases are hard to use with fullscreen protectors too (and I take off the case often).

The protector in combination with a Caseology Vault makes it harder to side sweep and to use side sense. Sensitivity for side sweep should be set to highest. I am not happy with this.

Just curious. . . is there a .cab file for a larger on screen keyboard?

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] EnterPaulini:
Hello guys,

I've recently got my hands on a not-working P20 Lite, which was stuck on boot with the well-known "your device has failed verification and may not work properly" error message. Since I got stuck on a HUAWEI logo when trying to enter the recovery, ended up in a bootloop trying to enter the download mode, the only way to get the phone working was fastboot. And since I am writing this post, yeah, y'all guessing correctly, it has not been successful. (Error message 'Command not allowed')

After giving up on it and leaving it stuck on the HUAWEI logo for a while, I have noticed that it has turned off. After turning on the device, it shows a green screen with 2, red and blue squares (see attached image), still not being able to boot in recovery mode, however fastboot still somehow manages to fire up.

Any suggestions? Is this phone dead (which I honestly believe), or is there something that would possibly be able to change its state?

Thanks!
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Wrong region (oeminfo).

No, not dead yet :)

Need more information about your phone . Install on your PC "Minimal ADB and fastboot" tool .

In fastboot mode run commands:

fastboot oem get-build-number

fastboot oem get-product-model

fastboot getvar vendorcountry

fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION

fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

fastboot oem battery_present_check

and post the results please.

(First try to charge the phone).

Okay, try this way out...

1. in fastboot mode run command

fastboot erase userdata

and try restart the device.

2. download and use a Service ROM

https://androidhost.ru/2AVi

with an sd/card or an USB-OTG flashdrive in dload mode. Unpack .zip archive , find dload file in "Software" folder, and simply transfer it to the SD card, without unpacking it! (instruction can be found in ReleaseDoc folder).

Turn off your phone and flash FW using three button combo .(Power+Vol.Up+VolDown).
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] EnterPaulini:
Still hanging in there! Entering the dload mode does not work, I always land on the same green screen and it shuts down.

EDIT:

Back to the "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly" screen. It actually shows the HUAWEI logo again and shows that the device is charging, when turned off. Trying to enter the dload mode results in a bootloop.

EDIT2:

After few times of trying to enter the dload mode I am stuck with the green screen again. From what I have observed, the green screen does not come up when I am connected with the USB cable. When not, everything except fastboot leads to the green screen with a small LED diode blinking red (not so familiar with this phone, no idea what's this for, it's located on the notch). On the other hand, everything except fastboot with cable connected leads to a bootloop. But at least I can see the HUAWEI logo, eh?

Probably a hardware issue
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] AmaliaRepova:
Hey! I have the same problem now. From todays morning it has been stuck on the loading Huawei logo. I haven't got any messages about that warning, you have got, but I have tried to enter the recovery mode and sometimes, it just flashes that green screen with the two squares. Now I think is without power. Have you somehow started the phone?

interesting, even if i write it, and i can see in cmd that is erasing and writing, getting okay message, bootloader is unlocked, and full adb acces, and still, my recovery is still the stock one, may im doing something wrong?
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Its_Vixano:
Reboot directly to twrp after you flashed it via fastboot "vol + and power button"

Miui replace the custom recovery with the stock one
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gherv1:
maybe this is what i was doing wrong, but i've one problem, my buttons band is not working, it's kinda removed from the phone, long story :))

so i can boot recovery just from adb

i typed adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot boot twrp.img (and is just staying stuck there forever)

as i know is unlickely to restart into recovery from fastboot. Exist some solutions for me in this case?

Tried fastboot reboot and after that adb reboot recovery, so it's start making logic i need to boot directly onto recovery.

It's possible to flash it from test point?

also, i was thinking of a downgrade, but idk if ill work to reboot from fastboot and after that adb reboot recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Its_Vixano:
Might be tricky but it should be fine

- Get the stock boot img from a stock recovery rom, or download this "took from china latest release, should works fine"

- Patch it with magisk app "it will disable dm verity"

- Reboot to bootloader and flash the patched boot img "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img"

- Reboot to system

If magisk app say that magisk is installed, you can flash the twrp with flashify

I forgot also to say that fastboot boot is broken on our device "the reason is still unknown"

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
I got my U1 S21 Ultra the other day and I'm put off about a few things. I'm thinking of going to the Note 20 Ultra instead of this. I'm mainly wondering if the camera in the Note is any good compared to this one. I know the zoom isn't as good but that's no big deal to me. I also have a S20+ here that I really like so any opinions in the camera department on that vs the Note would be helpful too on me making a solid decision.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AeroSatan:
Just outta curiosity what are you put off by if you don't mind me asking. Trading my Note 20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysterioustko:
I have both phones in front of me right now. The Note 20 Ultra camera is great. So much so that one of my new things I've started doing is getting canvases made out of pictures I've taken (with the Note 20 Ultra) when I've gone on trips. Comparatively speaking, they are very similar in camera quality, with the S21 Ultra doing better video. Also, an photos using zoom (even shorter zoom) produces better pictures on the S21 Ultra (probably because of the 3x lens). I'm not impressed with the battery life on the Note 20 Ultra though, and I have to say I am seeing a distinct difference in battery life, with the 21 Ultra being a clear improvement over my Note 20 Ultra.

Out of curiousity, what were the things you didn't like about the S21 Ultra? I ask because the experience on the S21 Ultra is not very different than on the Note 21 Ultra, except it is slightly more refined.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
My dislikes on the 21 are no SD, no bootloader unlock and no screen protector. I feel they cheeped out too much on the extras. Plus the usb cord they included was bad. I knew about the no SD from the start but it's more inconvenient than I anticipated with over 7000 pics alone to transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysterioustko:
I didn't really find it all that inconvenient to transfer. I had close to 20,000 files to move, which totaled over 200gb. I just used smart switch to move everything from my old phone (on the onboard storage and the sd card), and that was it. It took about an hour to move everything, but it was effortless.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
I'm not sure what the problem was here last night but it took over an hour to transfer 80gb. It started out transferring fast but went to a crawl after a while. I also would like to have it rooted like my s20 is so I think it's going to be the Note for me. I am happy to hear the cameras are pretty much the same besides the zoom and video.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysterioustko:
It may have been the type of cable you were using. I made sure to use a cable that I bought back when I bought my 45W chargers. The data speeds of those cables make a big difference in data transfer speeds when it comes to large file sizes.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
That's probably my problem. I use the crappy cables that come with the stock chargers. I'll have to invest in some better ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysterioustko:
Yeah I haven't even taken the stock cable out of the box lol. Make sure if you order one, that you get one that is USB Type C 3.1 Gen 2, compatible with power delivery, and should have data speeds of 10Gbps. They make a BIG difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Geekser:
I had the Note Ultra and traded it in for the S21 - no regrets here, for me the S21 Ultra is an awesome phone.

Depending on where you are getting your phone, if you plan on getting the Note SNapdragon version in the US - you won't be able to root that either. Bootloader is locked. There is a guy who figured out a way to unlock it - but he charges a little over a Hundred Bucks if you want him to unlock it for you. (I bet he could also help you unlock the Bootloader of the S21 - but I am not sure about that. You can ask him by finding his thread on XDA in the Discussion and News Threads for the Note 20 Ultra on XDA. Good Luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] westeight:
Fast and easy solution: USB-C > SDCard adapter.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ambrosios:
honestly, smart switch is only good for non media transfer....if you going to transfer from phone to phone....it is better to do this transferring to PC/laptop then to the new phone

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mikey_sk:
s21 ultra is way more responsive than my N20U. No regrets. Both exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
No SD card is a no sale for me. I use it as a data drive and not having to transfer 341 gb of files saves a lot of time during a reload. The ability also means I can reload and restore anywhere with no PC. Saves wear and tear on the internal memory as well.

So far between Samsung's decisions and Android 10/11 I find no great reasons to justify upgrading from my 10+.

I do like the faster, more efficient memory and ram but scope storage nullifies some of those gains.

5G still isn't justified for most users and if it's a 2 chipset solution it wastes power. 5G has yet to live up to it's claim of blazing speed outside limited areas.

Still no AptX-HD hardware support when it should have been on the 10+ bt chipset.

Maybe in a year or two from now if Samsung, Android, Qualcomm, and the carriers get their acts together... that's a lot of if's😕

The desirable older Notes continue to command high prices; a telling sign.
