[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah definitely doesn't really sound worthy of the name "Tough Armor" since that means if you drop it from an angle, you can crack the screen. I can see why people complain but I also see why they would design it like that. Just sounds like edge displays are as much a headache as I was imagining them to be.

Yeah 5G E = LTE with carrier aggregation. Stupid AT&T with their marketing shenanigans.

See, I am trying to avoid having to do any of that stuff to get good battery. The only thing I have done with my Pixel 3 XL is turn brightness to around 33% and turn on data saver. I haven't tweaked it for battery performance otherwise. I may just have to get one and see what my usage pulls from it. Realistically this Pixel 3 XL is just not enough for me, I'm getting fed up with being unable to multitask because of the RAM being so low, so I'm going to have to either get a 6/6 Pro or do what I said I would never do and buy a Samsung. I definitely can't put up with this thing until the fall when the 7 should be out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Well, that depends. If you drop it from an angle onto a flat surface it's still protected because the top and bottom raised edges go all the way to the corners. On a flat surface there is literally no angle I can put my phone at where the display will be touching the surface.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
I be more nervous about the variable rate displays than the curved screen. The other issue is number of that model released. The more that are in use, the greater the case selection, more or less.

Phones with little bezel protection need a case or they will get destroyed. A good case should have side display guards slightly higher than the display while the top/bottom ones should be even higher to protect from face plants.

Those guards also help prevent accidental touches, make the phone more usable and easier to hold.

The case should be able to soak up repeated corner hits and face plants onto concrete from 2-4 feet without damage. Not plywood, concrete.

The only issue I have with a curved display is when cutting/pasting near the edge occasionally.

Samsung makes better use of the curved area though by nesting apps there so it's not wasted space. I don't think Google does that although there may be 3rd party apps for it.

It's easier to keep clean, at least with case I'm using on my N10+'s. That surprised me.

I now prefer a curved display for viewing/using although it took some time to get there🤣

Biggest disadvantage is getting a screen protector that holds down well at the corners, less so at the curve portion. Hydrogel wet apply protectors work well and are relatively easy to apply ie Gorilla IQ Sheild is one brand. Without a screen protector it will get scratched... just a matter of time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I spent a lot of time active on my P6P especially the first month I had it, and I swear I was still only charging it once every about 24 hours, and only then the previously mentioned 25-75%. We'll see. Hopefully, the stats will improve. :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Hmm... I think I might have to actually go see it in person. I really hate going and dealing with stores with my anxiety but I may have to deal with it this time or just get the 6 and be done with it.

I'll disable the variable rate display. I don't have more than 60hz now so I won't miss shutting it off to have a consistent experience and better battery life.

I already have problems cutting and pasting near the edges with my 3 XL because the cause lip is too tall. That's one thing that Apple does much better with their space bar that turns into a trackpad implementation but I don't find myself copying and pasting often enough to be seriously annoyed.

I haven't used a screen protector since... wow, I don't even remember. HTC Hero maybe? I've never managed to seriously scratch a screen (my XS Max scratched really easily which was obnoxious but they weren't visible unless I was looking for them) and I've never managed to break one either (likely because I always choose rugged cases lol).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DGL2033:
I used Encase for my LG V40 thin Q which had the rounded edge screen. With the holster option, it completely covers the screen. Slides in and out nicely. Raised edges enought to accommodate a screen protector if you like. I know they make one for the P6, but, I bought a similar case design that was better priced for my P6. I used tempered screen protectors, with fairly good results for 2 years. Seems screen protectors have improved some since the old days.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
One of the problems with variable rate displays is color rendering and white point balance. If you aren't going to use the variable refresh rate feature there are older flagship phones who's color rendering exceeds all or most of the newer phones. If 5G isn't a selling point than an older flagship be cheaper and may serve you better.

If you're coming from Apple, Android's come in many flavors. Samsung's have one of the most customizable UI's. I recently bought my second new Note 10+ because color rendering or lack of is important and very obvious to me. Having an SD card is mandatory for me, yes you can have a dual drive handheld with up to 1.5tb of storage.

The spen is also very useful with Smart Capture and bt remote shutter release. I rejected the Note 20U in part because of its variable rate display.

This site has detailed reviews of both Android and Apple displays. The P6 Pro has not been reviewed yet. Avoid Samsung Fold technology as it is not mature.

You should view and handle these phones in person as they can be quit different than they appear to be in images. Personally I loathe rounded display corners but the difference was striking once I saw the phones side by side.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
I don't know to be honest, it is one of the bulkiest cases you can buy and it is the same thickness all the way around. The sides of the case are level with the flat part of the screen not the bottom of the curve of the screen if that makes sense and the ends are raised up for if you want to place the phone face down. The other cases i have looked at and tried have the case sitting at the bottom of the curve with all the curved part of the screen exposed.

It really doesn't matter what case on what phone you have if you drop it screen down does it, it then becomes luck of the draw.

This is the edge profile of a standard case and the Tough Armor
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kirschdog1:
Casemate Pelican case protects the edges and screen. I'm guessing the casemate tough case would do the same thing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FernBch:

Sometimes in Opera, the touch-sensitive scroll wheel seems to move the highlight from link to link.

Most of the time it zooms in and out, which is what I want.

I have found that going back to TF3D then back into the browser seems to cure it temporarily.

Does anyone know of a decent freeware WM6.1-compatible picture editor? One that could be used to alter the contrast, brightness and colour of a photo?

I've found that very very few photos can be effectively used as a Home screen background unless they are very dark. The white & grey text become unreadable otherwise.

So ideally I want to darken some pics I have and see if they work better. It'd be nice to be able to do this actually on the phone.

Cheers!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Giannis86:
personally i use photoshop..not a freeware..anyway what i wanted to say is that it doesnt need to be "made" for WM6.1...you just need it to be able to resize or crop the image..

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jim Coleman:
Photoshop isn't freeware. Nor does it run on WM6.1. It's not cropping the image that's the problem - the picture viewer on the TP allows resizing and cropping already.

The problem is altering the brightness, contrast and colours of a photo.

I'm looking to be able to do this on the phone itself, preferably using freeware. I already have Photoshop on my PC.

Hope that makes it a little clearer...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jim Coleman:
Hmmm, just tried it out. It looks like it has the features I want, but for some reason, whenever I edit a picture, it doesn't save the changes, which is a bit frustrating!

For instance, if I highlight a picture, select Tools > Adjust, I get the screen where I can, for instance, reduce the brightness. Then when I hit the "Adjust" button, it just goes back to the file viewer, and the picture is unaltered.

Most odd!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Giannis86:
i know its not freeware that what i said too :D

Hi Jim,

I've just tried increasing the brightness of an image on my TP with XnView Pocket 1.40 and it seems to work fine. I can adjust the brightness etc and then when I hit the 'Adjust' button a message pops up saying:

The Image xxxxx has been adjusted and and has been saved into xxxxx_m.jpg.

It doesn't alter the original image, it saves the image to an altered file and adds the '_m' to the file name.

I've attached a screen shot of what happens on my TP, are you saying you don't see this screen after you hit the 'Adjust' button?

Cheers,

D.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jim Coleman:
Hmmm. It wasn't working with a particular picture which was about 8 Megapixels. I cropped it down to about 6 Megapixels in "Pictures & Videos" and then tried again in Xnview and all of a sudden it started working.

Perhaps there is a bug which causes it to fail if the picture is too big?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jim Coleman:
Actually I think I've sussed the problem - the original file was set to read-only!!! D'oh!

(Would've been nice if the app had reported that though...)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dav3ywrx:
Ah, could be connected to the size of the image. I was using a file that was about 600Kb I must admit. I don't use this often to manipulate images but it is useful to have.

If you're manipulating large images then it may be a task only for your PC.

Cheers & good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
I use the Skinomi screen protector on mine, been using them since my Pixel 2 XL. The Samsung one is a flimsy piece of hard plastic that loves finger prints. So glad I took the "risk"

You can find a number of videos where people apply their own. Definitely recommend, but it is scary while you're doing it

My tip after applying it: Keep the phone unfolded overnight!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] BWA80:
Hi!

How long have you had the Skinomi protector on? Any problems? Does it feel as smooth as the stock protector? Does it cover the whole screen? Stock protector has small gaps all around the screen.

Some questions... 😁
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
It feels so much better. I've had it on for about 3 months now. Keep in mind I never liked glass screen protectors. The 'rubbery' ones that require water feels better, and makes sense for a phone where you're not likely to drop it on the screen

No problems, just remember not to fold the phone for at least the day afterwards (I have a very small bubble there due to my impatience). Plus, the rubbery ones self heal so it always looks great. The fact that it never shows fingerprints too. No more constantly wiping the phone after every use

Yes I know exactly the issue with crap getting along the sides. So infuriating, but this one reaches the corners well. I also put the protector touching the very top of the phone as well to eliminate the top gaps so the only real gap is the very bottom, and that isn't touched as often as every other part of the phone. I also don't remember the last time I needed to clean it

In the picture, ignore the bottom gap gunk. It looks way worse on camera for some reason

Let me know if you want any more pictures/angles
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] mmeyer4663:
When installing the Skinomi, what's the best way to deal with the hinge dip when "squeegeeing" the protector to the screen?

Just ordered the Skinomi.

I almost got T-Mobile to exchange the whole phone. They finally asked me when I bought it and determined it was still under Samsung warranty and directed me to Samsung.

Once again, Samsung sent me on a wild goose chase to Best Buy and the Samsung Experience section which, no longer exists at the 2 Best Buy's I tried.

Dismal support from Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
Nice, that's the one I'm using

I think I first tried squeezing from middle outwards, but the phone did fine doing it normally (from top to bottom or vice versa). I was only worried about water getting into the hinges, but apparently these phones do well with water according to YouTube durability tests

I hear a lot of people with the same experience for the lack of Samsung support. It's a shame

I am using global ROM in TB-J706F but I wanted to extract the original wallpaper from chinese ROM, so I downloaded the one available in lolinet.

Then I did (I am using Linux):

Extract files

Merge super_* to a single file with

cat super_1.img super_2.img super_3.img super_4.img > super.img

Extract system_a.img with

lpunpack -p system_a super.img ./super

Now I don't know how to mount system_a.img, this is what I tried:

> simg2img super/system_a.img super/system_a.ext4.img

Invalid sparse file format at header magic

Failed to read sparse file

> sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop super/system_a.img ./system

mount: ./system: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

> file super/system_a.img

super/system_a.img: data

What am I missing?

P.S.

Anyway if someone has the wallpaper and can upload it somewhere would be great.

Yes, I got some of the commands from there, as far as I understand what they do there is aimed to mount system rw so I shouldn't need it, I tried to mount read only and it gives the same error.

Also I cannot use resize2fs or e2fsck because it's not recognized as an image, I get:

Bad magic number in super-block

I think system_a.img needs an additional step but it's not even compressed, so I'm stuck.
[Lenovo P11] MrCrayon:
Ok, I solved it.

It was actually very easy, starting from the ROM:

Extract files

Mount super_2.img for system with:

sudo mount -t ext4 -o ro,loop super_2.img ./system

The trick is that it needs to be mounted read only with ro.
