I mean, you can shatter a screen with a tempered protector too. People seem to forget that the main purpose for screen protectors are for SCRATCHES, not impact. A 0.2mm piece of glass isn't going to do **** when you drop your phone.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GuyInDogSuit:
True, but to be fair, I've dropped devices before with a tempered glass protector, which cracked but kept the screen itself intact. It did help that I always buy "bumper" cases that have raised lips and good shock absorption. I've only ever cracked one screen before, and that was an incident in which NO case or screen protector was going to prevent that.

I, uh.... was sitting on a recliner, with my phone on the arm rest. It slid off, and somehow bounced a bit, enough to land right under the edge of the bottom of the chair. When I leaned forward, not realizing just where it was, the chair crushed it. >_<
[OnePlus 9 Pro] entropism:
It's all coincidental. I've shattered one screen in my life. An S20 with a Whitestone dome on it. In an OtterBox. Dropped from about 3.5 feet.

I've seenphones get dropped and nothing happens, I've seen phones get dropped on carpet that shatter. The simple fact is, if it was going to shatter, it's going to shatter.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] gavin-phelan:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
Applied the Mocolo protector, it's decent enough, I got it from AliExpress so got 2 for £13.

Sadly I got the tiniest speck of dust in the corner I hadn't noticed so I have a friendly little bubble. Stickers for the speaker and buttons stopped any major spillage.

The application of the LOCA doesn't seem as smooth as it might be as there's a kind of distortion you can notice if the screen is off, doesn't interfere with touch, FP or the image when the screen is on though.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GuyInDogSuit:
That would drive me insane, tbh.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
Yeah I didn't see anything too, used an alcohol wipe, then the cloth included which I always think look like they'll introduce "floaty things" then used one of the stickers to remove any dust I did see.

I have the 2nd to do another application but it's not visible when the screen is on so I can live with it for now.

Just took delivery of my new phone, and immediately peeled off the (stock?) screen protector and put this one on:

www.amazon.com

Not sure if OnePlus puts their stock protectors on the US Unlocked devices, I got this as an open box from Best Buy. Screen protector that was on it felt awful and was already peeling up.

This is my first time installing a LOCA protector without an installation frame like AmFilm and Whitestone give you. The hardest part was taping off the volume & power buttons, along with the slider, had to use scotch tape. Taping off the earpiece was easy, as it came with a sticker just for that.

Anyways, I made sure the device was level (placed it perpendicular over a phone case), put the LOCA directly in the center of the device, and GENTLY lowered the protector onto the phone, with one side slightly higher, so it wouldn't create air bubbles. Once it started spreading, it was done in about 15 seconds. No spill, no mess. Just had to carefully slide the protector up towards the earpiece so it was centered, and then used the LED lamp to dry it. One minuscule drop was on the frame of the phone by the charging port, I used my nail to flick it off. Looks, feels, and works perfectly.

Edit: It's ever so slightly too far down the screen. We'll see if my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case lifts it up or not.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Shooter7889:
I was getting ready to link this very glass. I ordered on Amazon for around $15. Same as Whitestone w/out alignment frame. It was easy though for me to slide it into the exact placing I wanted b4 using the uv light to dry the adhesive. Definitely the best screen protector as of now. I'm still waiting to put my case back on tho hoping it'll dry completely to not push it up
[OnePlus 9 Pro] netgar:
Do you mean Folii Loca screen protector?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] entropism:
The thing about Whitestone is that they're selling the same $2 LOCA protectors as everyone else off Aliexpress, the "value" is in the allignment frame. I had issues doing LOCA protectors without frames before, but this one was incredibly easy. I think it's because the screen is *barely* curved, it basically acts as a guide rail for the protector. Very simple.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Geofrey Kazaula:
Hi All,

Is there a Samsung phone with the same screen size so that we apply a protector made for Samsung?

This is because in some regions it takes time to buy online and deliver.

Regards,
[OnePlus 9 Pro] entropism:
That's not how things work. Even if the size was the same, the curve wouldn't be.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Geofrey Kazaula:
Ooh! that's a real challenge, then i think it's better to go for a flat screen OP9.

Thanks for a quick reply.

I have been using my 3rd screen protector OnePlus 9 pro bought couple of screen protectors from crappy brands got frustrated with that while one was peeling off within a month and the second one didn't fit across the edges properly so I have got back to xxxxxxxxxx which worked well for me with my Pixel 3.

I've been through Rhinoshield screen protectors (quite expensive, but I had to give it a try at some point and I got a little disappointed by the product itself, still excellent cases and customer service), and a few other 3rd parties before ordering those ones. Well, I don't know if perfection is of this world, but we are getting pretty close in term of quality and applying tool set. 👌
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Warp3dGam3r:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] edgyxyz:
i want to begin with saying i am really not tech savvy, i can't resolve this issue on my own but i have tried the following things:

* factory reset

* making a trace file with the developer options, i don't really know what to do with this

* trying to recalibrate the battery

it's to the point where the phone doesn't last 4 hours on idle, it's also running on 40+ celsius on idle.

i haven't taken it apart yet because i think there is a software issue rather than hardware, that's why i'm coming here first, i will add i had the back glass replaced about a month ago.

i can provide some screenshots but i have no idea what.

[General Questions and Answers] luca000:
Hi!

I'm trying to establish a connection between an Android Virtual Device and a car. The goal is to run the AVD on a Linux laptop and connect it to the car via USB. Ideally the AVD would recognize the car's HU (and also the other way around) which should make it possible to use Android Auto.

I read a lot about the Android Open Accessory Protocol and how the connection is established. I also found posts about people tunneling USB connections from a Linux host to an Emulator using the command below:

emulator @AVDname -qemu -usb -device usb-ehci.id=ehci -device usb-host,vendorid=0x----,productid=0x----

Some also say you need to build a custom kernel beforehand so that USB on the Emulator is enabled in the first place. So far the Linux machine doesn't recognize the HU at all, which makes it impossible to use the USB tunnel since I don't know the vendor and device id.

The HU probably acts as host and expects a device, so does the Linux machine. This is somehow where my progress stopped.

Does someone know if that kind of connection is even possible with a emulated device? Do AVD's support the Accessory Mode in the first place? Is there a way around this Host to Host problem?

Any hints or ideas would mean a lot to me!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] l33tphreak:
Full article available @ CTIA Fall 2008. For those of you who don't want to follow the link, the post is copy/pasted verbatim below.

A picture accompanied the article showing Sprint's interpretation of the Touch Pro (see image below). First off, I see noticeably rounder corners and a softer gray coloring as opposed to the glossy black finish I've seen in non-carrier-branded photos. It looks like the numbers remain at the top row of the keyboard, which is a good sign for some. However, sadly the front-facing camera has been removed and the Sprint logo now sits in it's place. When compared with the T-Mobile MDA photo from http://htc-raphael.com/, they look remarkably similar except for some keyboard differences both in color and function keys (it was hard to tell using the Sprint picture below, even with Photoshop to enlarge/enhance it) and the front-facing camera which seems to be staying on the T-Mobile model. Only time will tell, until then here is some good news to tide you over.

According to pictures posted at phonemag, Sprint may also be offering the Touch Diamond model with a red backplate. No word if they have plans to release the Touch Pro model with the same color scheme.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LilRico:
I read that Article this morning... Here's some better photo's of the pro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] auriken:
ugliest piece of branding :P atleast make the keys yellow too!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] l33tphreak:
Thank you for the improved pictures, I was looking for those this morning but I guess I caught it to soon after it was published to find any decent ones.

I really expected the symbol key markings to be in the "Sprint Yellow" color.... but the Red is an interesting contrast.

Does anyone else think the touchscreen area is a different color gray than the touch key area? The d-pad area reminds me of a nail polish color called "Blue Fox Chrome", it looks like a bluish tinted chrome shimmer which seems really out of place with the polished and matte jet black finish the rest of the chassis has. Perhaps they could have picked their colors a bit better. I doubt it's just the camera angle because it is noticeable in every picture from different angles.

I hate to say something really girlie but..... I wouldn't buy that model for the sole reason of the color mismatch between the chrome blue fox and the black matte. I'd rather one that's the same color throughout, it just seems sexier and more technologically appealing. Also, it really disappointed me they went with the smooth backplate as opposed to the "faceted diamond" style backplate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Engadget Mobile has a hands-on:

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/

I must say, one thing I like that I like is the metallic frame that surrounds not only the screen but also the keyboard. Not so much that it's polished and attracts more fingerprints, but the metallic frame surrounding the screen on my Europe/Asia GSM TouchPro feels very solid and it would've been nice to have the same build surrounding the keyboard.

Too bad my needs for such an expensive device are first and foremost GSM+HSDPA. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] l33tphreak:
fhsieh, I had read somewhere that the Euro/Asia GSM models had a stainless steel frame inside them for durability and the "firmer" feeling but the US providers were going to replace that with a cheaper plastic polymer frame to help reduce costs in hope their customers wouldn't notice.

Somewhere I have to find the link that tells what US provider uses what material for the interior framing of the Touch Pro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Well despite being plastic, my Touch Pro does feel very sturdy so it may very well have the stainless steel frame internally.

But I still think an external frame to match the one surrounding the screen would be a nice touch :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] l33tphreak:
I ended up gathering the info from a bunch of sources, but the breakdown is roughly as follows, I listed the frame type and weight for those I could find information on for comparison:

HTC Touch Diamond (unbranded)---> (110g)

AT&T Touch Diamond -------------> (110g)

Sprint HTC Victor (P3702)-------> Aluminum Frame (115g)

Verizon HTC Diamond ------------> Stainless Steel Frame (110g)

O2 XDA Ignito ------------------> (110g)

T-Mobile MDA Compact IV --------> (98g)

HTC Touch Pro (unbranded) ------> Stainless Steel Frame (165g)

AT&T FUZE ----------------------> (165g)

Sprint HTC Herman --------------> Aluminum Frame (150g)

Verizon HTC Raphael ------------> Aluminum Frame

O2 XDA Serra -------------------> (165g)

T-Mobile MDA Vario IV ----------> (165g)

Judging by past experiences with stainless steel and aluminum, I've always found aluminum to be the lighter of the two. My hypothesis is that the Diamond models of weight 110g are all stainless steel framed while the 98g weight MDA Compact IV has an aluminum frame like that of its Sprint cousin "Victor". If I apply the same logic to the Touch Pro, then I am to assume the unbranded, AT&T, O2, and T-Mobile models have the stainless steel frame while the Sprint and Verizon cousins have the aluminum frame. I could find no information about the AT&T model or any of those released in Europe/Asia other than O2 which is readily available. I will try to update as more information becomes available.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Powerbird101:
OK a couple things here piss me off.

A. They took the camera in the front off Why the hell would you do that...( pointless to replace it with sprints crappy logo beecause they couldnt find anywhere else to get free advertisement the right in front of your fn face everyday)

B. they cheapen everything now dont they with the aluminum frame from a steel one... i don't mind an extra 15 grams as long as it can be 40 percent stronger.

C. They ass-pry there crapware into every phone they sell making it even more pointless to use as by day 2 of use its already running like a 1920's T1...

D. I can go on forever but this is the last one for now. I understand about smudges but who gives a crap... the back plate looks like someone should burn it alive... wtf were they thinking about on a phone that originally had its beautiful diamond prism on the back but instead spint smooths out the world with the fact that they feel necessary to make there phones disgusting and weaker then they are from release...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thx1200:
To everybody complaining about the lack of front camera, I can almost guarantee they did that to save on manufacturing costs, not just so they could find a place for their logo. Afterall, they are offering it for $299 with contract. The unlocked version is like, what, $700-$800? Sure, the phones are a loss-leader to lock you into a two year contract, but they still want to make them as cheap as possible to reduce the initial loss, or they'd just be screwing themselves. If they can save $20 on each phone by excluding a camera, they will jump at it.

This is a powerful phone. $300 for what is basically a miniature laptop is a hell of a deal.

As for the bundled crapware -- yea, I could do without, but at least it fits the theme of the phone now. The puke-yellow default theme for the Mogul was just horrendous. The yellow highlights in TF3D actually look pretty cool. I never liked the "flip" clock on the original Diamond, so I'm glad sprint got rid of that.

So, the moral of the story is: if you want a virgin HTC device, buy unlocked. If you want a cheaper version and don't mind a missing front camera (I don't) and metal/glossy case, buy the vendor version. Personally, I thought the glossy prism looked pretty bad. But that's just me. everybody has differnet tastes. I think the Diamond's back on Sprint is perfect -- elegant and professional.

As for nuking the bundleware, well, that's what XDA is for. ;-)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi, after flashing TWRP update from TWRP itself I am now stuck at download mode.

I can access downloading mode using Power + Volume down

I cannot boot into twrp using Power + Volume up, this brings download mode up.

I cannot boot into system, this results in the same behavior as previous situation.

The main problem is that for a long time my cable or port is not working correctly. I can charge tablet but the data transfer is not established. I cannot say if it is caused by cable or port but I think it is the port itself - other reduction does not work as well. Thanks to this I cannot easily flash recovery back.

So I am looking for other solutions than buying new port board/cable and replacing it. SD card is currently the only one interface working. I am asking if there is possibility to flash recovery/stock via sd card - maybe some files detected right after entering download mode, i. e. recovery.img.

Other possibility would be to get adb over wifi working.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] html6405:
Hi,

does the flash process even start when you try it with odin or heimdall?

Once recovery boot is triggered, it will alway's try to boot into.

You could try to:

If this is succesfull, you may can boot into system and then flash a new twrp with root rights.

2. standard reboot or Power + Volume up - https://pasteboard.co/JU4t6gR.jpg
