[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Just leave it on as long as it's usable. Finding a better replacement may be difficult.

It's actually very tough... I inadvertently tested my 10+'s on the second day by dropping it on a rough edged aluminum angle from 2 feet high. It landed on the curve part of the screen and the case. Marred the protector badly but not the display at all *gulp*.

On the 10+ this is the one Samsung failing that irritated me the most, no factory OEM screen protector replacements. Even there were it be impossible to install.

Whitestone send the wrong protector in the right box... malakas.

Wet apply screen protectors were the easiest to apply and have proved very durable. Gorilla IQ Sheild is what I settled with after 2 fails with self adhering ones.

Close to 2 years and zero damage.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
So there's a screen protector on inside??? And it's removable???
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] maintoiferu:
Yes, a screen protector is attached.

1: 10 ~ of this video I'm peeling off the screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
Is there any difference? Not that I mind the inner screen, but it does feel plasticky.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] knives of ice:
its like night and day when you take it off IMO. like scrolling with glass compared to plastic and the screen protector gets tons of fingerprints. i honestly have no idea how anyone uses this phone with an inner screen protector. unless you are going to be a heavy S pen user I see no reason not to take it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Dominikm27:
What abou outer display in your case?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bs3pro:
Well i usually feel that way with a real glass screen. I do worry about the plastic screen on the inner screen getting scratched. Im torn whether or not I should take it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] knives of ice:
the outer display? you're insane not to take that off. the previous fold didn't have it and the outer screen protector isn't even mentioned in samsung's warnings.

look, as a fold 2 owner you don't need to treat this phone with kid gloves. could you get a micro scratch on it that you can only see in the perfect light? yeah, you could. I used the fold 2 without the cover and have no problems.

the outside screen is much more likely to get scratched than the inside though unless you are carrying it in a bag unfolded and I don't think anyone is dumb enough to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Meh with no screen protector it will get scratched especially if there's any sand around.

Sand is almost everywhere to a greater or lesser extent. Glass is harder than most metals in your pocket but not sand.

Improper cleaning will eventually scratch it as well.

I don't want any scratches on my optics glaring at me like swirl marks on a black car🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
It's not worth the risk. I used my ZF3 with the screen protector and my ZF2 without one side by side, and there was no difference in look or feel. Definitely not enough to risk damaging the display or voiding the warranty.

The "ultra thin glass" screen is just plastic as well. Watch JerryRigEverything durability tests on the ZF2. He concluded that there is no glass surface.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] seancannery88:
No worries bro, Excisting screen protector is better in Zfold 3. If it annoys then you can replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fillyo:
I have bought two 20mm stainless steel watch bands for my 46mm Watch 4 Classic, neither have fit, wondering if we need a 19mm. Bought a Fullmoso and Acestar, both same result. I also bought a 20mm silicone sport band which fits fine. Anyone find a 20mm stainless steel band that actually fits?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pigglett:
I have a couple of leather straps I bought recently and both 20mm 1 is Fullmoso . I have a 20mm stainless steel I bought 3/4 yrs ago and that fits my 46mm Classic .

Might worth popping in a jewelers if any local and checking some of there straps(you don't have to buy) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] mrbalder_uk:
Same for me as well, I brought a 20mm stainless steel watch band and it wouldn't fit to begin with, but managed to get it to fit in the end by filling both ends down on the band.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fillyo:
Yikes, didn't want to go that route, did another 20mm that said specifically for Watch 4, Acestar, same issue, then ordered a 19mm Fullmoso, too narrow and too much play....waiting for more to hit the market
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] reutermuerte:
Here's the problem... It's not 20mm

Measured with calipers and it's 19.8mm
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Trekker56:
Is the watch lugs being less than 20mm a wider issue? I don't have calipers to measure.

It would suck if I can't use all the bands I have ordered.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] schillingnd:
I ended up just taking a Dremel to two 20mm steel bands I had bought for my 46mm classic. I shaved just a hair off each side where the pin goes on the bands and they fit fine after that. It really is a tenth of a mm off or something like the OP showed.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] shortsleeve:
Picked this one up from Amazon and it worked perfectly.

SPGUARD Galaxy Watch 4 Band 40mm/44mm Classic 42mm/46mm 20mm Metal Stainless Steel Bands Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Watch4 40mm/44mm Classic 42mm/46mm for Men Women(Black)​
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
Indeed! The first problem is that the lugs are curved inward. So the distance between the holes exactly 20mm. HOWEVER, the distance between the lugs at the narrowest point is 19.8 to 19.9mm (like you, I just measured with calipers and it is hard to get an exact reading on something slanting inward). OMG Samsung, what a stupid move. So this could cause a bit of bind if the band is really close to being 20mm wide.

The second problem people seem to have with metal bands is that the band can actually rub against and scratch the circular case, depending on how "thick" the band is.

The third problem is that some people want a more finished look to the band to fill the "gap." To illustrate what I mean, attached is a photo of my most-excellent Casio WaveCeptor. Notice how it connects to the watch body completely.

For all these reasons, I did some searching and found a new and unique metal band for the GW4C- one that fills that gap by design. Nothing like it on Amazon, but on Ebay, there is this:

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SirDigitalKnight:
Do you have picture of this band installed on your GW4 you could share?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SirDigitalKnight:
Thanks, I missed that part with my very old and tired eyes! Look forward to see how it comes out!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cmccarter:
anyone have the exact measurement of the watch. i see a band that is 185mm(7.28 in) so with the watch length would it fit an 8" wrist? Is the watch at least 1 in long?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] crxssi:
From pin location on top to pin location on the bottom seems to be exactly 5cm.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] uicnren:
I bought these (mine are all black, but dont seem to be listed anymore) and they do fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVPWFZS

They were a little bit of a pain to get on as you cant have the band straight out from the plane of the watch while inserting the pins. You have to let the band lay like it will when its on your wrist, then they fit. This made it much harder than need be while doing the second pin as you dont get nearly as much play.

I tried a few others and all had the same issue of being too large and hitting the watch chassis.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fillyo:
Anyone get a stainless steel band to fit yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] spangelaregreat:
Using this modded Aliexpress Rolex replica. The end links are not solid so are easy to bend to fit. There are plenty of non branded ones to that should fit.

[General Questions and Answers] TeckySairam:
Hey guys, I know that most have doubts on rooting Samsung f41 . let's go step by step

This method does not brick your phone [Fully Tested] the only thing is you have to follow all steps properly

1. go to developer settings ( to enable it go to About phone software information tap the build number 5 to 7 times ) activate "allow oem unlock", and turn off the device, connect it to the computer with a cable, and, as soon as you plug in the cable, press volume + and volume - at the same time, then, press and hold volume +, after this, just press one time the volume up button to confirm, the bootloader will be unlocked and the device reset, as soon as the screen "erasing" disappears.

2. Now go to download mode for that power of your phone and press vol up and vol down at the same time and plugin your charger wire which is connected to your pc and that's all

3. make sure your computer recognized your device in download mode, go to odin, go to "AP", and select the root file according to your android version, press "start", and it's done! just install magisk apk and let the app do the additional configuration

NOTE - every time when you turn on your device, a black screen will appear saying that the software is not official from samsung, just press power, it's normal.

on oneui 2/2.5, the root is a little bit unstable, but on oneui 3 it's solved, I recommend OneUi 3 for being more stable and updated.

Required Files for this method

1. Odin - https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.14.1.zip

2. Samsung usb drivers - https://download2330.mediafire.com/...f1rn/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

3. Root file Android 11 - https://mega.nz/file/yzhmDJjS#afLu8KhCzWhFXyovK5Dpl1WQdbt6evMCV5u4GPRMGRE

Hi All

Had my Diamond for a week and LOVE it! I'm a long time PALM OS user, and this is the first PPC device I've used - so needless to say there's been lots of install and deletons in the last few days trying to get my phone where I like it.

So the question I have .... what programs are out there that are useful (and possibly free) that do a good job of cleaning old registry files, and keeping my memory running fast and efficient??

Thanks and look forward to your replies.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ikeieva:
Hi

I have tried to research the answer myself, but I have been unable to find it.

I have had a replacement device from my carrier (EE). As shown in the attached photo, my CSC looks like this: BTU/BTU,BTU/EUX/TPH. My question is in regards to the TPH section. Upon searching the internet, I deduced that the phone did not originate from the UK. I believe it originated in Portugal. The phone accepts my EE sim card, but with it not originating in the UK, will it affect the phone's ability to update OTA?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Have you attempted an OTA Update? I would return the device to the carrier and demand a replacement with the appropriate CSC.

Hi,

I've a Fire TV Stick Tank (old I know) with OS 5.2.7.6 (but I know there is a 5.2.8.0 update with new UI)

Update check says that there is a new update but, if I try to install it, it just "fake install", I have a screen with "almost installed update" and nothing happend, it stays on the same firmware.

Now many month ago I use some adb command, or apk to block ota (I don't remember), but I thought that with a factory reset, everything will reset. But it seems that the ota are not restored.

How can I restore ota update?

[General Questions and Answers] frnsh:
Hi,

I have played this game about 10-15 years ago. It was third person and turn based. The quality or coloring was like Warcraft, fantasy and colorful.

In the main story's game, you could choose between a guy and a woman and you would continue on the map (third person), walk around, visit shops or choose enemies to fight with. The fights were like a duel but turn based. On your turn (looking from behind you), you would cast minions and do other actions like healing them and yourself. They would fight with the other side, sometimes attack other minions or the opponent him/herself. If you get to kill the opponent on a fight, you'd go forward with the story.

The man you could choose, would cast rats at first. I usually played with the woman who was wearing green, would cast plants and heal them.

I would be very thankful if you would suggest me what game was this. It has been making me crazy for years! I have already checked Might and Magic, Eternium and some game databases but no luck. I get a feeling this game has got removed from the face of the Earth!

so that is kernel and or app issue, your kernel(drivers) could be an overclocked version, causing phone to run hot and affecting the display from running hot for long and damaging the pixels/ liquid used for display

or background apps making your phone run hot and causing same issue

Since you are on xda, i could make assumption that youre using custom rom and or magisk,

if by any chance you are using pixelify or pixelarity from magisk and your phone is medium - medium high end(the phone is running stock and custom framework at the same time causing your phone to run hot (battery drain, cpu and gpu strain)

Your screen seems permanently or long term damaged especially if its a lcd display

if you have somewhat overclocked your device(or its screen) or ran it at high performance for a long time those are possible causes

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nookin:
I have a LS997 that I purchased from eBay a few years ago. I kept the phone at 7.0 and I definitely was able to set the APN. I used it on T-Mobile for test, I was able to enter fast.t-mobile.com as APN and everything works. I then used it on Tello (Sprint network).

I was told that I can switch to GSM, since it is T-Mobile's network, I thought no problems. Ordered the GSM SIM, activated. After I swapped the SIM, I realized that the APN cannot be set. There is simply no "..." menu like I use to. All I see is a greyed out word of "otasn" in the APN list.

I tried putting in a T-Mobile SIM. It works. I see a grayed out fast.t-mobile.com APN with a unselected radio button. But internet works and everything.

STILL NO "..." MENU.

It seems my ability to edit APN has somehow been taken away. I doubled checked the Android version is still 7.0 ZVC and I have not upgraded it.

I honestly don't know how the V20 ended up like this. Can someone help me out?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nookin:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nookin:
That doesn't seem to do anything. I also found a post mentioning installing Pulse SMS app allows changing APN. That didn't work either. I am really puzzled why the ability to change APN were gone. I am certain that I was able to add APNs. At least right now, it can detect T-Mobile SIM and use its APN automatically (likely because I entered it in the past). I am worried that once I factory reset the phone, even that is gone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
There is a small app that can add an additional APN entry that might work here as some people have done this on the Sprint LG G8. Have a look at this set of comments for the link of the app.

But you should also be aware that some time next year, your LS997 will stop working for phone calls since it can't get VoLTE on T-Mobile, so once they take down both 2G and 3G networks, it will become a data-only device in the U.S.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
I read that if you go to TMobile and get a new sim that we can still have service. Just be fully TMobile. No Sprint at all. Something to do with new network merge tool they have. Its called TNX.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
I was already referring to full T-Mobile here. The LS997 isn't configured to get VoLTE at all, so all calls would still just go through 2G/3G on any network. It's easy to check by having cellular data on with Wi-Fi off and making a call and see if the LTE icon stays on or immediately switches to 3G or below.

For the few of us on rootable LS997 models, there might be a wild experiment to try by running US996 firmware and see if VoLTE can get enabled on there.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
I found a board for a rootable ls997, but I currently have just root shell sadly. Oreo here. Old full root died. I may be screwed. We shall see in a few months. Unless tmobile version will work fine still. I may be forced to downgrade (upgrade). I dont have tmobile version, but if I were to get another v20 maybe only option aside from an us996.
