I know there are a bunch of threads on varying versions of stylus and screen protectors, but I cant quite seem to find one that answers my questions.
What I am trying to find is a great screen protector. Something thats not overpriced just to be overpriced, but that does the job well. I want something that protects well (meaning a deep scratch in the protector wont impact the screen at all) with as little interference as possible on use.
As for stylus, I want to find something precise. Something that can be used to draw or make small notations with. I have been looking at the dagi stylus, like p601 and p504, but cant seem to find much different in what may work better than the other. My biggest concern is something precise and durable.
Does anyone has recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated
Have tried several here.they all seem about the same so far.Have been looking at the David one .The spring loaded 504.I think
Will prob buy it in the next week

Hello, I did some Black crushing test, and I got out with this. The picture is attached.
I did ask for a for a RMA already, but waiting on the email. I'm deciding if it's worth even exchanging it, because they all seems to have this problem. I am currently on GB stock rom, but I don't want to root it and see if it's better on ICS because it would void my warranty.
Would you refund/exchange it? I have my SGS, it still works wonder, but the Note had me hooked. Now that I tried it for a few days I could wait for Note 2, but I'd like some opinions.
I exchanged, new one is the same. Pretty ****, so i just dont watch movies in a dark room on it.

Yeah, I am pretty settled on refund if it goes through. Otherwise I'll keep this one, because it's still 20$ shipping.
I guess it was a fun experiment, I will totally buy a refreshed version with no screen problem.
I mean, the selling point for me was the stylus and screen size/quality. It failed one of the two, and the stylus seems to not calibrate for software reasons. It works well still, impressed by the pressure sensitivity. There's also the bricking problem, but as far as I see, it's only because some people are morons and can't read. I could apply me buying the device to being moronic, I did my research, but I didn't think it was every Note. I thought it was just non-noticeable for the majority, how deceived I am.
I would however make the bezel smaller, keep a physical button and 2 touch(that can be pressed with the stylus) and make it a tad smaller. I would still buy it at the same size, or screen bigger with bezel smaller, but 5" with REALLY small bezel would be my best.
I wouldn't recommend the Note right now to someone looking for video playback. For a professional note taking device, I would in a heartbeat. It's more functional than any phone for someone with huge hand if they can 1hand operate it, it loses it's potential if you can't cover most of the screen with one finger, which I can't.
Why am I doing a review, I'm so pissed. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Is that even considered really bad black clipping?
Bump. I heard that some ICS roms can fix that, somehow.
I just don't know who to trust anymore. I want to root and install a custom rom, but I would lose my warrranty. I've been taking notes like mad for 2 days now while listening to podcasts, and it's a blast.
This just come up in my mind.
The USB-C port is the only thing that I think the Xperia X needs to to have.
After checking the Xperia X teardown videos, we can see that the Micro-USB port on X is totally modular.
Here is the OEM part of this:
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-charging-port-flex-for-sony-xperia-x
So is there any chance that we can mod this up to USB-C, with a few works on the bottom casing ?
The USB-C Charging port modular on XZ premium looks very alike, at least to me :|
Both of them use 20 pins connector
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-charging-port-for-sony-xperia-xz-premium
And the USB-C port modular of the X-compact is also very similar:

Hmmm... Sounds like a decent idea. I don't really love having to heat up the back of the phone to remove the cover, and possibly reapply adhesive for this, but hey, if it's beneficial, why not. I have no warranty to lose anyway.
Are you thinking of doing it? I guess the bottom part would require some modding for a bit more space to be done. (the triangular sides)

I wondered about a few things I hope you can enlighten me.
1) How do we close the panel after removing it? Do I need to buy adhesive for it or is it reusable?
* I saw the video, turns out he replaces the adhesive, still wonder if its necessary
2) Is it possible to mod the phone by replacing some parts with the xperia X performance? I mean, they are very similar, and I wonder if you can for example change the battery or something like that. It sounds pretty risky though, since it wasn't designed for the model
will it work ? i want to do it too ^^

1/ In the past, all the Z lines-up will need to replace the adhesive, for one important reason, keep the dust/water resistance of the device. X doesn't have the official IP rating, so I don't really think we "have to" replace. However, in the process of taking things out and in, I think it's a better way of doing thing. Plus, the adhesive is dirt cheap.
2./ This is the off-topic question. And personally I don't think we really need to have the X performance battery, because they're not that difference and all the front - rear cameras, speakers v.v. is basically the same.
we love to have USB-C on the X

You must be mistake of the Xperia XA.
Please check it:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7948&idPhone2=7949&idPhone3=7950
XA: 2300 mah
X: 2620mah
X per: 2700mah
I don't see any point we should take a risk for only 80mah increment

For the battery we can try it too like some people did for the s6 they used the battery of s7 edge and it worked...
But for the usb c i just have to change the charging port?

No, you also need to mod a hotel the bottom plastic to make space. Nothing crazy. Other than that it sounds like a simple mod but I would want an expert to state an opinion

That's a really deep notch... They can do better than that! Also, they REALLY need to ditch the plastic on the back of the phone. Seriously, it's beyond time. Still excited about it though lol.

Do you have the source of this?
If you have a black notification bar how would you know if you have a "notch"?
Who cares. Bring back the headphone jack and I might be interested. Still no technical reason to remove it.

Looks like it will still have a single rear camera.
What I (and many others) want to know: Will it have an OPTICAL zoom ?

When you have enough notifications and/or status icons to reach the notch area?

Would take a credible source to believe anything nowadays. Even then, the final prototype will be very different.

There's no plastic on the Pixel 1 or 2... XL or otherwise so I don't know what you're even talking about. I'd actually prefer plastic so we can get wireless charging back.
Interesting, whether this is really the final design or not I'll still be buying the 3XL loll. Love my og Pixel XL but it's definitely time to upgrade.
There was news of the new larger in screen scanner with 17x the scanning area. This turns out not to be true. It will be same as s10 series. Not a big deal to me because I have mastered the one on my s10+, but some folks will not like that.

Probably registering the same finger multiple times.
As someone upgrading from the S8, will I really notice a difference? I've heard mixed reviews on Samsung's under-display finger print scanner.

Yes, i've had the s7/s8 and s9 and they were much better than the s10, night and day difference. However i recently got rid of the original screen protector and went with the bestbuy clearplex one and its much better imo. But still not as good as the older finger print scanners.

Sensor has been great for me. The biggest tip I can give is to register your primary finger twice. It works wonders.

Have you tried adding the primary finger you used twice? I've owned almost every s-series phone and note since the note 5 and I feel like this is on of the most consistent scanners I have used.

I would if i could but i already used up the 4 available slots, i use 4 primary fingers to unlock the phone lol
I have really dry hands so it really gives me issues recognizing my finger prints, all my past s7, s8, note 8 all worked perfectly, but I really despise the S10s reader
I register both thumbs twice from natural holding position.
1st left thumb one handed natural hold
2nd left thumb 2 handed natural hold(straight up and down)
One handed is an angle.
Key is USE YOUR THUMBS
Also follow the guide animated fingerprint and do the part of your thumb that gets filled in. Its literally instant for me. I can do a short video to show. Now with amazon "Tamoria" brand uv tempered glass(identical to whitestone except no tray, just use a level surface. But 50$ vs 15$ is a no brainer. She also allows for learning curve if you mess up and honestly say how you messed up. Best customer service ever!
Anyway...... with that on, you have to hold thumb on for 1 second then pull away.
With factory protector, naked, and iq shield(and zagg) type protectors- do not hold thumb on until unlock. Put finger on and release quickly- thats it. Hold it on longer when registering of course.
I am going to make videos. I am letting the old lady have my s10+ and I got a new Tamoria glass UV protector for it and will record the install when I get my s20 ultra, and also I will record protector and non protector fingerprint register and use after register. Just give me a week until I get my new phone plz. I am happy to help and hope I do help people to see that this is superior(slightly) and faster than the old fingerprint scanners.
There are so many misleading videos, tutorials, and reviews on this and none of them have it quite right.

I pre ordered through Samsung this time. T mobile wants to much money down for jump customers. I bought the phone for a little more than the down payment T mobile wanted.

I cancelled my jump a long time ago. Their prices for down payments + the monthly jump cost no longer justifies itself.
That's disappointing. Note 10 plus scanner sucks imo. Prefer above screen then
