Well...

That depends, if you don´t care about the $ g for it!

But if you want to pay less wait 1 month and sure you´ll find it a better $

Good luck,

i agree, if u really want this phone buy it or if u have alot of patients wait for little while (same like me )
[Touch HD General] TheOnly1:
Actually I don't believe it will get a LOT cheaper. Maybe some 50 Euro but not more. Mtel sells it in Bulgaria to new or Club customers (more than 6 months on the network) for roughly 560 Euro incl. VAT. Knowing their business practices and also knowing that they don't have the habit to subsidize phones I guess that they got it from HTC at around 500 Euro.
[Touch HD General] arvindmd:
before experia1 was more expensive, but now it seem its price drop down leaving HD the expensive one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] william58:
I have a good case and screen cover, but I'm reading online where if I put on a lens protector, it will degrade the image; refraction, ghosting, and possibly other optical anomalies.

I'm also reading online where the phone already has a lens protectors built into the rear cover. That they are replaceable if damaged. Use a case with a raised guard to protect them. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

So which is true and what should I do?

Use lens protector - best brand to get.

Don't need lens protector. If that is the case how hard is it to replace if scratched or damage?

This phone is too expensive to damage!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
I tried camera protectors good quality (even for tens dollars) in N9 and Fold 2 and never again.

Photo quality are worse especially in lower light more artefacts.

I saw opinions about all good photo quality but I saw unfortunetly worse.

Moreover I don't have from years any scratch in the camera lenses, camera island but carry devices without any keys, coins etc.

Phone is for me no I am for phone or for new customer after months or years when try sell
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I'm no pro photographer but I've read well pro photographers advising not to use lense protectors in DSLR lenses as well as in smartphone cameras to avoid degraded performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nyr2k2:
I use the lens caps sold by Spigen.

https://a.co/d/cADPXV4

They have very good reviews on the Spigen site and on Amazon. A lot of people saying they didn't notice any degradation of image quality or any other issues.

I am far from a professional photographer and just use my phone for "typical" stuff like taking pictures of my kids and pets, interesting things I see outside, food at restaurants, etc. I have not noticed any issues with the lens caps. Again, I'm not doing a lot of night mode, 100x zoom, or any of that stuff. And even if I did, I don't have the eye to really spot much difference.

With all that said I am happy with the purchase. I use them along with a Caseology case and they fit wonderfully. I believe Caseology might be owned by Spigen but it's not an official product, and yet it still fits really nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] william58:
How about this question above, anyone know about that?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] krips2003:
I wouldn't recommend any lens protector. You'll lose the image quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Talderon:
I have lens protectors on my S23U and have no issues with image quality.

I took pics before and after (same subjects with tripod to get same viewing angle) because I wanted to see if they do impact the image at all and honestly, I see no differences. Even LightRoom Histograms are near identical (sun moved a little, so the lighting changed), but no real differnce.

Can you site a source that shows impact?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kiru:
I also experience the same. I cannot perceive any loss in quality of images, including shots done at night. I currently have the ESR ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] krips2003:
If you haven't noticed any difference then good for you. As the OP mentioned he needs recommendations for a good quality lens protector. You can recommend the one you are using. As for the source, you can find some of the issues people have found on the XDA itself. But it could be due to bad quality of the lens protector. As for me, I have never put lens protector and I don't think I'm going to put any on the near future ✌️🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] william58:
I use a good case along with a good screen protector and whenever the phone is not is use, it is in a soft pouch, especially when I leave the house.

Now I've got to see if I want to use a lens protector or not.

Right now I think I won't as I didn't with my last phone, S21+ for two years. I think the soft pouch helps a lot so the lens don't get scratched in my pocket etc.

But I'm still listening. If I can be convinced that there will be no degradation, the image; refraction, ghosting, and possibly other optical anomalies. I might change my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Tjontherox:
I have lens protection in the case that I have and I may cut the protection out or get a new case. I tried to take a picture of a job I installed today and got ghosting with the case on. I took the case off and the ghosting went away. I tried playing with the brightness bar before I took the pic, but there was multiple with the ghosting issue.View attachment 5863843View attachment 5863845
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] m20120:
I also wanted to protect the lenses on mine, but did not want to have something applied that might degrade the image. Went for the Spigen Optic Armor case and I am happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] william58:
Thanks! I might just get that case. Not a bad price either!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Nice confirm with this photos. I had similar feelings when try camera protection.

Unfortunately next glass layer degrade quality image with ghosts etc in bigger or smaller level.

My friend use island camera protector in S10+ and is happy with this because have protection but I am not convinced with my experience
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kiru:
Do you mind sharing what lens protector or case you are using?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Tjontherox:
Sorry, just saw this. Here's a link to what I bought. I'm a sign installer and on a lot of construction sites, so this seemed to fit the bill for the most part. I had a similar case for my S9+ that I had for 5 years and my phone looked new until the end. Only difference was there was no cover over the camera on that one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BQ3B1GF5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

When talking of battery life, people report different stats with no standardization. This makes comparison difficult.

Most people would charge their device before it reaches 10%, and that is also a good practice. It is a bad idea to let the battery go below 10%.

I'll keep 15% as the target battery level.

At 15%, how much screen-on-time (SOT) do you get and what is the standby time?

Please include your device details along with the software version (including security patch).

Here's mine:

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

At 15%:

About 5 hours SOT (using only one sim)

About 12 hours standby time

Total about 17 hours since last charge

Software version: OneUI 5.1 (Feb'23 security patch)

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Senko7699:
I've bricked my g8 a long time ago.

If i recall correctly, custom rom caused it to bootloop.

And i accidentally wipe all of the partitions.

Could anyone share a copy from their phone?

Also it doesn't react to pc anymore, drivers doesn't help too.

Well...com6 appears for a few sec when booting, but quickly disappears.

I am not sure if i forgot how to enter edl mode.

But if not that's not working as well.

neither is download mode.

Any ideas?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] kt-Froggy:
Sorry, no backup to share, but a couple of suggestions...

1. Recovery from a brick, including a scenario with totally wiped out partitions - this should guide you step by step through the process:

https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-rescue-from-hard-brick.4351389/

2. EDL mode (saved if from one of the guides a while ago, both options worked for me):

Hold Vol- and Power together, when the phone screen turns off to restart begin quickly pressing the Vol+ but keep holding Vol- and Power.

Here is a youtube video of how to boot to EDL:

Alternatively, with phone off, plug in usb cable and wait for the charging symbol to start flashing, then hold Power and Vol- together and start tapping Vol+. Sometimes it's easier that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rirawin:
I knew I should have known better but I did research the local shops around my area before deciding. My Note 10 needed a new battery after dying and I was quoted 50 for a replacement battery by Samsung. I was happy with that and left it for him to sort out, week later I come to pick up the phone with the new battery. It was only back home when I took a photo, that the camera couldn't focus at all on anything at 1x or 2x. Cue me going back and explaining to him about the issue, he looks dumbfounded and even then thought probably just a simple error. Turns out with the back cover off the camera works fine, but when he glues the back cover on again the issue reappears?. So he told me to leave it again, and week later I come back and he's "fixed" it, tells me about the cover applying too much pressure or something so I was OK with the excuse because I just wanted to leave the shop because of nerves but does work after showing me. Again go home, and put the case back on and the stupid camera issue appears. At this point I'm fed up going back and forth, plus it be a case of proving he damaged it which is unlikely however, the guy is super nice but so disappointed in the job he did. Wanted to ask is there anything I can do, anybody who fixes phones aware of this issue?.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it works with the rear cover off; is it a OEM rear cover and lens protector? Check clearances and for loose or damaged connectors/ribbon cable.

Replace with OEM or after market rear cover seal rather than double sided tape, see if that works.

[XPERIA X1 General] LaZBoy:
Hello all and tnx for an awesome forum! This is my first post here, I did search before posting but could not find an answer.

Is there a way to make the alarm in the phone sound even when the telephone is switched off like a non-winmob? I need to have my phone switched off during the night when I go to sleep to conserve battery. Today I overslept cuz the alarm did not "alarm" me. Can´t find any setting related to it, is there one or is there any 3rd part application that will do the trick?

Tnx in advance
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
I would say that's impossible, because the X1 is a pocket PC that must boot the OS and then all the software programs can be loaded.

To save energy the standby-mode is implemented. Additional, you can deactivate the "phone-function" to decrease the energy consumption and don't get calls over night.

If the phone is switched off the only chance would be that the BIOS triggers an alarm somehow, but I don't think there is a possibility to do this.
[XPERIA X1 General] LaZBoy:
Thank you very much for your quick response.

I had a feeling it wasn´t possible. I´ll use the standby + phone function OFF during night as sugested.

thanx :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
like an alarm clock if you turn it off there is nothing save human intervention that can turn it on again

those other phones you talk about are just suspected and still using power when off for it's cpu and os to check time vs. notifications to know when you need to get up

think if a tree falls in the forest kinda deal
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
I never turn my phone off!!

I just recycle the system every couple of weeks!!(turn it off, then on)

So at night my phone is in sleep mode, with the charger plug in!!

So no calls, alarms, etc. missed... Battery fully charged

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] norti:
You can use suspend mode, it will last for 2-3 days without recharging, but if you'll charge your phone once a day, your phone will have enough power to alarm you everytime :)
[XPERIA X1 General] LaZBoy:
I see. Charging the battery early and often is the correct way with this type of batterys, correct?
[XPERIA X1 General] LaZBoy:
With risking asking a stupid question, "suspend-mode" as in tapping the on/off button quickly to turn OFF the screen and lock the touchscreen?

sry for doubleposting...
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Yeah, that's the supend-mode.

A lithium battery should be charged somewhere between 20 to 40% of its maximum power. I read it once in a professional journal.
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Li-Po batteries aren't like the Ni-Cds....

They don't get a charge memory problem(won't accept a full charge, if not fully discharged-cycled!) But it does have a problem if you fully discharge it you can damage the battery. The do have protection circuit to prevent this. But it does still happen!!

Also Yes, the sleep or suspend mode is when you "tap" the power button!

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] LaZBoy:
I thought the Xperia X1 had a LiIon battery, Or am I mistaken?
[XPERIA X1 General] scl_electronics:
Just popped my cover off..

Li-Po battery inside....

Stuart
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Lithium Ion is the same technology as a lithium polymer. The difference is, that the electrolyt in the LiPo batteries is a polymer (plastics) and not liquid as in the LiIon batteries. The LiPo battery is newer and further developed.

First install:

Use the first install.bat file included in the extracted zip folder, in Fastboot mode.

With Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot twrp(if errors red lignes,repeat the operation by restarting on the Twrp each time).

You need to update with OTA not directly with TWRP.

You may be using an older version of TWRP.

These roms are Hybrid you can use the update.bat file included in the extracted zip folder, in Fastboot mode.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Poker85:
Hello everyone,

i have found in Internet a very interesting product to resolve the problem of our battery. As the title it is powermonkey by powertraveller, a portable charger.

The problem is that the powermonkey-eXplorer has an output Voltage from 4.5 to 5.5 V and a Max Current of 700mA.

Because of the HTC adapter is 5.5 V and 1 A, i was wondering if it would work with the diamond.

My suorce of doubt is that i don't think that the usb is able to work at that Voltage and Current.

So is there someone that has tecnical knowledges to say if it would work.

Thanks for the answers and hope to have proposed and interesting product.

Bye
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] tunppi:
I bought powermonkey explorer in the summer and I love it!

It is great for diamond, and every other device also.

If you buy one with solar charger, it isnt much of use if you dont live in sunny country or leave it charge always in car.

It was great though at Bulgaria charging my ipod, never had to use any other charger. And ofcourse you can charge powermonkey with usb or other ways.

I recommend it, even if it is little pricey.

It seems very tough and resisted some water and sand, hot weather.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Poker85:
tunppi how long does it takes to get fully charged?
