For those who are interested: Dbrand confirmed they stopped making skins for Xiaomi devices: View attachment 5229339
[Xiaomi Mi 11] bob*nwk:
I received mine today....

Turns out it's only a cover for the camera unit. Talking about misleading advertising..

To others: be aware don't order this!

Update: after contacting the seller, they told me a mistake has been made and they will resend the missing pieces at once. I will update this post when received.

Update 09-03: I received the covers. They are very thin and hard to put on without bubbles. They do add grip though.

I bought the 3, but the one that served me best was the one with protection on the rear camera. I bought the camera lens protector, but it is very high and only the third cover was able to protect the camera from scratching, when I leave it on the table.

[Xiaomi Mi 11] PandaKiller:
Thank you @jurarj for your recommendations.

I also bought some tempered glass and protections for the lens, but I am desalinated.

They are equals to the ones recommend by you, and what I can say:

1. The protective lens are made from plastic, not glass (glass don't age with time)

2. The fingerprint sensor does not work with the tempered glass

I will probably buy the 3rd option you shared to be in the safe side ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] PandaKiller:
I also find some interesting protections.

Could you tell me please if the sides of the phone are fully covered or just the glass part? Could you attach a picture of the side? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] bob*nwk:
Only the glass. Very thin and hard to put on, I would not recommend. See post #12 for a picture.

[Xiaomi Mi 11] randylahey786:
Yes, the same skin is produced by Gadgetshieldz in the name Hive and the quality is good and also the price is affordable which is half the price of Dbrand. I bought one for my phone and it is thin and sturdy which attracts me.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shetty08:
Hello Everyone,

Been using the S21U for 2 weeks now and I have recently noticed micro scratches on the lens element!

The phone is in transparent TPU case since day 1 and I have hardly went outdoors. I traded off my S20+ and the camera bump didn't had a single line from 10 months of usage.

Has anyone encountered this? Maybe others can have a closer look now at their devices.

Any insights, suggestions on what needs to be done or can be prevented will be welcome!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] satanatos:
Really sorry to hear that. Just out of precaution, I have placed a whitestone dome glass protector on mine, just because I dont want to experience anything like that with a EUR1300 phone. Not that much expensive and you get two protectors in the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] oae08:
how was it scratched? only from keys?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Be very wary of scratching this phone. I recently figured out that the S21 Ultra supposedly does not have the same Victus glass design as the Note 20 Ultra... It has a slightly modified form of Victus that's much, much thinner (as it's covered by another, easily scratch-able glass material...and so the cameras

might

be like this too)... So instead of being resistant to most micro-scratches, they are actually easier to get and become permanent immediately on this phone (learned this by scratching my display with denim jeans - no metal/button contact) =(.

I'm just assuming that they're doing this to increase their glass repair jobs... Granted, Apple has been doing this with their iPhones for an extremely long time now... But hey, Samsung has started acting kinda like they're the Apple-like company of Android, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sesnut:
im sorry, but you what?

you scratched glass with jeans?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Darbar1701:
I'm a stainless steel fabricator do I'm in the worst possible job for scratching phones so have the screen and camera protected, ESR TPU for the front and LK glass for the camera, don't even notice they are on at all and only coast 20 yo-yos for both
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Illrigger:
The lenses don't scratch easily, but depending on what you do during your day you might end up with stuff in your pockets that will do it. There are a lot of glass protectors for the cameras out there for the S21U, for example in the US you can get a 2-pack from Spigen for $12, and a bunch more that are even cheaper.

If you get one, get one of the blacked out ones, You will get artifacts in your photos from the flash/AF light as they get channeled across the glass of the protector if you don't; learned that one from using clear cases over the years. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
Are you sure the lenses are scratched or the camera bump? Because the camera bump is not made of glass! It's metal and the darker colors of phones will be a horrible one, especially phantom black!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's not the lense. It's a factory protector.

May have been marred during assembly.

Don't sweat as it can be replaced if needed. A very slight may no effect the images at all but because the otherall area is so small it might. Protectors are a waste of money; it -is- the lense protector!

Any added optic elements will degrade the image.

It's possible to polish out micro scratches with a clean, dry finger tip by rubbing back and forth on glass or antireflective coatings. Takes at least 30 minutes or more... if it really bugs you. Yes dry callus is abrasive and hard enough to polish glass.

Likewise even the smallest amount of grit, sand etc rubbed against it by your finger can marred it.

Don't use that opening in the case as a pickup point.

It can also be marred by improper cleaning. Only use a clean dry microfiber cloth. Wet it a little if need be. Ordinary cotton cloth will eventually cause scratches owing to unseen debris it picked up. Seen many a pair of glasses made of glass scratched like this. Grit stinks into the microfiber material away from the surface being cleaned helping to protect it.

My 10+ lense protector is plastic. I live in the desert. I occasionally clean it but only with a microfiber cloth the same way I treat high dollar optics. No damage after a year and a half.

Just use a good case with a raised cam guard.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shetty08:
Hey thanks man for the reassuring reply!

As I said in the post, Its barely been 2 weeks and I didn't even travelled much, put it in jeans with keys, coins etc. It was lying dormant with little use.

On close inspection in direct sunlight / outdoors. I saw lines which are underneath the lens glass and not on the surface.

I just don't want the image quality to suffer and plus the service center sucks (experience in dealing with S20+)

Not sure if they will acknowledge it or tag it as a user handling damage.

What are my options?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shetty08:
The lens area only, the bump I know is metal and it is intact.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If it's on the internal side there's no way you did. Make sure you specify that if returning it.

If it's on the inside without direct inspection it's hard to tell if it's on or into the glass.

It may simple be a smear albeit a hard to remove smear.

Either way shoddy assembly. Having put together thousands of display assemblies I was always careful that the internal surfaces were spotless.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
They are selling camera protectors on aliexpress. However, they are not exactly sticking to the actual lens as they are slightly deeper. That basically would create s small gap between the camera lens and the protector. I would assume it MIGHT slightly degrade quality in some cases. Not sure but it may be worth trying out.

I had one of these on my note20u ugliest case ever! But yeah it did its job of protecting.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shetty08:
hey man,

this smear or minute lines on the inside or whatever is really bugging me!

My experience with samsung support (In my region and India) hasn't been good in the past. They all act as fools who recommend factory reset via their tool for every issue.

My question is will samsung own this or pass on the blame to me as improper handling or usage marks.

I just don't want the already botched up image processing to suffer further.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Samsung phone support sucks, real bad.

You can send it in as it's clearly their fault but that will take a lot of time.

Remove back cover and clean or replace if need be. Make sure you have the OEM adhesive strips needed to reassemble it. The replacement lense protector is held on by an adhesive strip*.

It may be easier to get the whole OEM rear panel assembly.

If you do it yourself use heat carefully/evenly and take as long as it takes to carefully pry it open without breaking it. A small amount of isopropyl alcohol can be injected to help break the adhesive seal.

*it maybe replaceable without taking off the rear cover but that maybe hard or impossible to do without marring the cover.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Sand will easily scratch it. The OP stated that the marks are on the inside, an assembly blunder.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] SomeXGhost:
I just got the Whitestone lens protector myself it's pretty awesome stays on REAL well and adds a bit more sexiness to the already sexy camera bump 😜
[General Questions and Answers] WSDC:
Hi Everyone, Just brought the above and ran into some questions while operating it.

1) "Always on Display" - Have been using Garmin which has a screen always on, now with this Huawei if I select AOD then the other watch faces will not show and there's only 4 types to choose from? ? ? Or am I doing wrong....

2) Is GT2 Classic same features with the GT2? Seems some very nice watch faces not in Classic list and also some Youtube videos shows you can select the colour of the AOD watch faces.

No-one has ever reported being able to, so you can forget about flashing GApps, Magisk, etc.

However, these versions of LineageOS 16 https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-16.x/ are built with both root AND signature spoofing, so you can install MicroG (https://microg.org/) and Aurora Store (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore) instead of Big Brother's ever-spying GApps. :-)

I did not really mean to underestimate the guy behind the development of this TWRP project because it is also my fault to do before reading it in the first place, and if your phones is bricked here is the solution. Do not worry just follow the step below patiently.

Go to this youtube link for tutorial to recover bricked phones for realme C3 RMX2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNcO4ulWYxI&list=LL&index=2 (tell me if the link is not available), then download the driver after completed choose the A.49 Firmware and then follow up his step to recover it.

If you follow the step above patiently it will recover your realme C3 phones, I do follow these step on the video and recover the phones. If you have question maybe I can help you here.

[General Topics] Sunra:
I'm a nerd who wants to better his posture. I find myself slacking of and having really bad form. This is why I want to have a vibrating alarm that reminds me to sit or stand straight.

I want this alarm to repeat itself at a random interval of between 5 and 20 minutes and have a distinct vibration. I'd like for this alarm to not intervene with other alarms. Also, I'd hope to keep battery drain and performance impact to a minimum.

I was thinking of writing a Mortscript for this but I don't know the first thing about scripting just yet. I was wondering if there is existing software where I could set such an alarm. If not, are there alternatives to Mortscript which might be better suited?
