What exactly does "carrier services" even do? It definitely isn't modem firmware, so can't impact signal strength or stability.

This is the millions $$ question. Some say it deals with RCS messaging. Others have dug into the app and say it deals with IMS-related stuff. The going consensus is that it basically provides instructions of sorts to carriers on how to best optimise their service for the hardware. I can say that the .89 beta apk has improved my circumstance now about 24 hours in. I haven't had any disconnects that I am aware of. The device also appears to run cooler. I mean this could all be placebo and they could just be doing tower work, but it feels like an improvement to me.

There's definitely some backend wonkiness with the preferred network toggle. It takes a good minute sometimes more for the network to jump back to LTE.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Keryfia:
Hi everyone! I have Android 12 with the latest version (C.41) and the problem was already there with the old version of Android 12. I have installed a custom icon pack and the icons present in the AOD are sometimes not fully displayed but it shows only one corner of the icon, as if they were cut to 1/4. With stock icons, on the other hand, no problem. Anyone experiencing the same bug? Of course I also tried other icon packs.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] androg:
Hey there. Yep, it's not just you! When I wrote to Oppo (Japan, where I am) about this, they seemed perplexed and not familiar with the issue. Anyway, it can be "fixed"... by reverting to default icons. Seems that pretty much any custom pack will do what you are saying (and, you may notice: not all the time, right? Kind of random. SOmetimes, your custom icons wil show, sometimes you get the 1/4 weirdness).

IF you are using a launcher like Nova, changing the AOD back to default only changes those icons - Nova wil keep your custom icons elsewhere the way you want them.

As an aside, would be nice for Oppo to make those AOD icons a tad bigger so we can glance and easily see them when the phone is sitting on a desk etc.

back again with a whitestone dome review for the pixel 6 pro. whitestone was kind enough to send me a sample and provide xda readers with a discount code, XDA10PX which will take 10% off any pixel protector through 2.28.22. you can order directly from them at https://www.whitestonedome.com/prod...id-dispersion-tech-with-camera-film-protector (non-affiliate link.)

ive used the dome on my 2 and 3 xls, but it's been a few years so i had to brush up on the instillation technique. the process is straightforward and when things go as they should it works well, but attention to detail is key. id suggest watching their official video a time or two before doing it. even as someone who had done this several times the first installation did not go well and i had air bubbles. thankfully they provide extra adhesive so i didnt cure it, cleaned everything off and tried again. the second time was better, but i still had a few very tiny bubbles. i went ahead and cured it and used it for about a week, but i could see them on white screens which drove me crazy. the included removal tool (nothing more than a laminated card) worked really well. on previous devices removing the protector meant shattering it. im not sure if you could clean the glass and use it again, but if nothing else it was intact. after starting fresh the next install went flawlessly.

if you havent used a whitestone before be prepared to gather some lint between your case and protector, especially in the first week. a quick wipe down with an alcohol pad will help this. it also tends to collect fingerprints more, especially in the first few days of use. but overall the feel is great and ive noticed no degradation in fingerprint sensor performance even though i didnt reregister like whitestone recommends. for the record, my fingerprint sensor sucks and continues to suck, but its no worse lol. these arent cheap protectors, but after a few years without them ive been reminded why they are the best protectors ive ever used.

It looks good, also so thin. How it performs in the long term because I don't trust tempered glass cause it breaks soon!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanielF50:
After my second TPU screen protector stretched and got partially uninstalled by my case yesterday, I noticed that Amazon UK was stocking these screen protectors & although they're a high price, I thought I'd take a chance as all reviews seem good, they have a lifetime warranty & the TPU ones are just trash to use day-to-day.

Honestly, I am shocked at how easy this was to install without any glue leaking into crevices (ie. Buttons & speakers), and also how well it installed using the jig. I recently installed a cheaper Amazon brand glue based TGSP on my brother's S21 but it leaked everywhere, glued the buttons together & muted his top earpiece!

I, myself, have always used Spigen TGSP & although they're good products, they all had to be hand installed, manually, meaning they were always slightly out and always caught dust underneath before you could install them completely - this thing though, wow! The video was very simple to follow & after I made sure there was no specks on my screen (after releasing the adhesive), I just placed the TGSP on top of the jig, let it drop down and settle, then cured with the provided UV light & then cleared the edges with the alcohol wipe.

It looks absolutely fantastic & feels super smooth compared to the TPU protectors - you genuinely wouldn't even be able to tell it's on there (with my Spigen Liquid Air) if it wasn't for the camera cut out hole.

Thanks for the recommendation @roirraW "edor" ehT & @kellybrf 🙌

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Experimentalcoding:
Is it possible to dual boot a note 10.1 gt-n8000 android 9 and 11 ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] V0latyle:
While several dual boot proof of concepts have been developed, I'm not sure this has ever been put into practice. I believe in most cases it would require having an A/B system, which I'm not sure that device has.

So the short answer is technically yes, but also no.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Experimentalcoding:
OK.

It does not have A/B system

It doesn't have enough storage anyway.

bump
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] salada2k:
I'm gutted. Somehow my Diamond has got this oily liquid underneath the screen in the centre of the screen. It's come from nowhere?? I haven't got it wet, have always used a screen protector, etc but now it's as if it has escaped from somewhere inside the phone and is now sitting between the digitizer and the glass underneath. Where on earth does this come from? Has anyone known this to happen to other HTC's? I guess it has come from the LCD. God only knows how this happened, I treat my Diamond with a lot of care. I tried to take some photos for you guys to show you what I mean but it was pointless, you can only see this oil slick when the light reflects off the screen so it's hard to actually capture that in a photo. Just imagine an oil slick underneath the screen that moves around when you touch it with your finger. Oh yeah, and now my digitizer is inaccurate all the time. Actually I made a little picture to at least try and illustrate (sorry I suck at paintbrush)

I'm a bit worried that I'm going to end up with one of those ****ty yellow-tint replacement LCD's. My friend bought a touch pro the other day and he ended up with one of these screens, and believe me, they are A JOKE. The look *pitiful*. If this happens it's byebye Diamond and byebye HTC. Just on 6 months old this thing and been treated with nothing but absolute care. I might even do the unthinkable and get an iphone now I hear that TomTom is on it's way over there.. Wow I guess I must be really pissed off, lol..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kemco:
Have same problem

I used hair dryer but it is there still.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
all i can say is that not always and only looking from a certain angle i have the same square stain you describe. i thought i am the only one....

the strange thing is that looking now at the screen everything looks OK (the stain is not there) but i remember seeing the stain in many occasions in the past. :o maybe is temperature related and right now is morning here and i didn't start using my device yet.

i'll keep an eye on this thread.

i also take good care of my device and use a screen protector.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zme999:
Finaly some out there with the same problem as me:p

I have the idea that it could be the result of presure to the screen!

...you get the same "oilish" look when you press a finger on the screen!

...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] salada2k:
Yes, exactly, staring at the screen normally, I cannot see it. But, when the light hits it, I can see it very much.

And, now when tapping the screen instead of feeling that cushioned kind of effect, it's now really hard and the taps with the stylus are much louder than what they were before. It's like the previously trapped 'oil' actually gave a softening effect, but now it has escaped or whatever, and it feels like I am tapping glass, or something equally as hard. But we all know the glass is a couple layers deep, and there is the soft digitizer and also the screen protector between that glass and the stylus. Now it feels like those extra layers are not even there. I can barely use the horizontal scrollbars now as the stylus is inaccurate in a lot of areas on the screen, but not all, and not all the time. (?) Even after a re-calibration the problem is not going away. Dialling a number takes several attempts due to missed numbers, and other niggly annoying things you can imagine. Hmmm. I wonder how many people have this but have not noticed yet?

Please post here is you have this problem, guys! Remember to look at your screen with an overhead light directly bouncing off your screen and into your eyes. Then you will see the oil slick effect. And when in the position you can touch the screen with your finger and see the oily liquid move around. Please let us know if you have this problem, thanks.

Hi guys,

i don't have Diamond but sometimes check Diamond forum.

I thin that the problem you are referring to, also occured on some of the HTC Touches(Elfs).

Check this thread(post #106 has some ample pics):

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] willyy1991:
I think its related to what the screen reflects, because sometimes i see it to and sometimes i don't, now i have a LCD Computer Screen from samsung and if i use the phone at home i don't see the 'oil', if i place my phone in the right direction so that it reflects the screen i will see the screen reflected part with the 'oil' ,so if i hold it so that my LCD screen appears for 50% on my screen(y-ax) and the other 50 percent of the diamond reflects a wall or something, i only see the 'oil' at that part that reflects my LCD screen...

Now this isn't only with my LCD screen, the roof @ my school does the same thing, some kind of walls, etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iammart:
whoa, that's really weird, I just noticed that on my Diamond while sat at my desk...! I'm sure I would have seen it before now, but who knows... :P It's only visible under certain light though (flourescent seems to be the worst). Its presence doesn't appear to affect the digitizer and can't actually see it when the backlight's on...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wardy:
I had exactly the same problem. Called HTC logged as a fault .. New screen replaced under warranty . Very impressed !

Its the touch screen touching the LCD ... A known probelm to HTC so give them a call

hi guys

just wanted to ask

who can i call?

htc will probably want me to ship it to them

and then i will be without a phone for a month

what should i do?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Imyman:
Me too!! Ditto!

I got the same problem too!!!! And OMG....soo many ppl have it too!! This is crazy.....its like some mass defective shipment or something! I have the same oily patch on my elfin. And my digitizer is new....its barely been 2 months!! I had it replaced coz I accidentally cracked the last one. Though it doesn't seem to be affecting the screen calibration or any of the screen accuracy. I hope its not like a problem that aggravates into something else altogether (fingers crossed).

Same problem on my Touch HD (Blackstone)

Got my Touch HD less than 4 weeks ago and noticed a small oliy patch (size a 5p coin) in the bottom after a few days. Sometimes the patch was visible and sometimes not. It has now progressed to a rectangle of about 1 inch by 3 inch. I noticed it can hardly be seen with normal light bulbs or outside, but under certain light conditions like our special lighting in the office (some natural, blue light bulbs) AND energy saving light bulbs it is very obvious and annoying.

I have no idea how it happened as I had 3 other HTC touch screen devices in the past without this problem. I am carrying my phone in my trouser back pocket, but I think it does not bend it enough to cause this. Another suspicion (guess of mine) is the screen protector itself. I am wondering that maybe the temp difference between protector and screen was too large and when it contracted it pulled away the upper layer of the touch screen?

I am attaching a bmp that shows the patch on the phone.

I have now contacted BuyMobilePhones.net where I bought the phone and after being wrongly asked to contact Orange for a fault code, I have sent it to them for repair/replacement. I hope I will get it back next week. Until then I will use my Artemis / O2 XDA Orbit 2.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glewis101:
Another one to add, to the list. Mine has the same patch (diamond) and i called HTC and they picked it up by courier same same.

Hopefully will get it back soon.

UPDATE:

HTC ARE COMPLETE IDOITS

I have had a message back saying that i will have to pay for the repair as it is user abuse !

I have looked after my phone from day one and never missused it.

If anyone else has had their phone repaired by HTC under warrenty please can you let me know the case ID so that i can quote it in my next call to them.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
the stain is visible under fluorescent light only. that's why sometimes seems to disappear.

i made a fool of my self already when after explaining by phone to the technician what my problem was i got there only to discover to my amazement and embarrassment that the stain was gone. now, try and explain to the technician that 45 minutes ago the stain was there.

got back home feeling frustrated and happy (the stain was gone) in the same time, just to discover that after turning on my fluorescent light the stain was still there laughing in my face:D i went to the window, checked again and the stain was gone...back to the fluorescent like...boomer!:p

Oil stain problem on Touch Diamond

I have a similar problem with my 5 months old Touch Diamond. Have been taking good care of the phone since I bought it, never dropped it or anything. Have been keeping it in my pocket, inside a pouch though. Still, one day I noticed this square-shaped oily stain on the screen. I sent it for repair, but HTC responded by saying it has appeared due to user abuse. It seems as this problem is a weakness in most newer HTC touchphones, so it is clearly something that HTC must take responsibilty for. Anyone else having similar problems, please post them here. It will make it easier for us to get help from HTC if we can refer them to this forumpost.:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rsmallwo:
Same

I have exactly the same problem, HTC say that it "might be user abuse" and because its a "might" they want to charge me. I noticed this issue on my phone but assumed it was just the screen protector needing a clean and as it didn't really affect the usage of the phone I was ok with it. However my phone started not syncronising with any device so I sent it in repair for only that and not the oily issue (i'd forgot it was there!!) they then reply saying they want to charge me!!!

They say not repairing the oily issue invalidates the warranty as the oil can leak onto the circuits boards etc and brick the phone.

I then ask if they can just repair the syncing issue (2nd time i've had it)and send me the phone back at no charge and they are saying no as they can't conduct a warranty repair and then send it back without a warranty left on the phone. I was hoping to change the LCD myself as you can pick them up from ebay for £25.

So I'm left with the prospect of paying out £78. My phone was in last month to have the 1st sync issue sorted in which they replaced the usb board and its only been working ok for 3 weeks. Then the sync issue returns and back to HTC it goes(what a poor first fix!).

Saying to me that I've applied too much pressure to my touch screen. Touching my touch screen not allowed? outside of design parameters maybe?.....what a joke....design flaw, plain and simple.

Oh, last thing, the techy refered to the issue as a "Newton Ring" issue. Its when the seal that holds the oil in place normally goes and it goes in between the layers of glass.

I've had my phone for 7 months. The warranty on these phones is for 24 months.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glewis101:
Right time for an update.

I posted a few posts back about my issue with the oil on my diamond screen.

HTC wanted to charge me, however i have been fighting it (and not getting anywhere with HTC) so i went back to the company i bought my diamond from (Clove) and they have taken it up with the HTC repair centre. The guy at the repair centre kinda admitted to the guy at clove it was known fault, but would not confirm it. However the engineer would look at my device again. (result!) However the repair centre have been very slowwww to come back to me (been 8 days now), funny how they where quick enough to tell me it was my fault and want to charge me, BTW that took then a day and a half.

So end result is now that the Nice guy from Clove is chasing HTC Head office to get this sorted. I will post back with the results and i can also post my case number for you can refer to it if you have problems getting yours fixed.

I would strongly suggest if you bought your phone from a authorized reseller go back to them as they may be able to help.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Marvie:
I have the same problem, looks like a lot of bad screens used by HTC.

It is not a big problem and I can't mis my phone that long so I will wait and see the reactions here after repair...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glewis101:
Well the phones should come back as good as new, i think other people have had no problem once it has been repaired. From what i have read previously, people who have had this problem started having issues when using the touch screen, so it may be best to get this sorted sooner rather than later.

Also HTC could say that you left it to long to report, therefore its your fault. (not that i think they could but, better safe than sorry)
