Hi
I have a Nokia 6.1 bought through Carphone Warehouse and don't get automatic updates as Nokia are blaming the carriers.
Are there any issues with updates in the UK for sim free phones with the 7 plus that anyone is aware of?
Thinking of moving up to the 7 plus if it gets auto updates.
Ta
No issues with my 7+ I bought it from carphone warehouse also.
What I was say it to try a different SIM, EE have blocked the updates before and putting in a O2 SIM made it work.

Nothing worked apart from hard reset, stopping google play updates on start up, installing vpn and connecting to USA. Updates work then.
Nokia blaming carriers but most carriers are saying that they have no reason to block any updates on sim free phones.
Thanks for your reply
No issues here either. I bought from Carphone Warehouse also and use an EE contract sim that I got with an LG G6 (which has just been updated this month to Android 8) which was the reason for getting the 7 plus.

As mentioned a number of people hae had issues with EE and BT mobile sims and not getting updates, specifically the one from 8.0 to 8.1. I think it's been resolved now but when I picked up my Nokia 7 Plus the other day I started it without a sim and it performed it's updates just fine.
Same here I get instantly all the OTAs both for Oreo and Android P, but I still haven't inserted a SIM.
Gone for it. Got myself a 7 plus today. Already much happier than with the 6.1
NEed a screen protector now

As the edges of the screen are slightly curved I've struggled to get a decent glass screen protector that fits, most cover the flat part of the screen which is not quite all of the visible area and the others cover the whole amount but lift up at the edges
Please let me know if you find a decent one.

I am trying out these

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07B7J9KJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (matt)
I tried the clear one and it felt awful. Trying the matt now.
There is a gap between the case and the protector which is not ideal but it gives protection I suppose.
Worried why they come in a pack of 8 though !!!!!!!! he he
Easy to apply

Just a PSA for first time Skinomi users. When I put mine on two days ago, it looked like absolute trash and I almost ripped it off immediately. But I didn't.
Two days later and it looks great. Like magic fairies put a new one on while I was sleeping or something.
So, if you try this product, give it at least 2 days before you pass final judgement. Also, put it on at night, let it sit overnight without a case on. When you put it on, after aligning it well and squee-geeing the excess fluid off, take extra time to rub your finger along the curved edges. This will make them tack down very nicely (even though the rest will look like trash, just give it time).
Premature use of a case will most likely cause the edges to pop up. Waiting until the next morning to slap on your case is a good idea.
To clarify, this is regarding the Skinomi Tech Skin Premium HD Clear.

I tried that but mine was cut too long. It wouldn't line up with my camera/home button no matter how I positioned it. I'm not new to installing the or any screen protector so if wasn't too long I would've kept ir on.

What's the best available non glass screen protector that fits the full screen and can be used with case, and does not have the rubber friction or orange peel effect, but can be delivered quick to the UK?

I've always liked Spigens plastic screen protectors. I had to use them on my Nexus 6 since no TGSP would work with its 2.5D edges. I have one of the Spigen's enroute with a ETA of tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it is.
Edit: It's actually arriving today! I just checked the tracking. I've been reluctant to use my S7E all week because I don't have a screen protector and already managed to get a tiny scratch despite 'babying' my phone.
how did you get early? says in stock March 11, 2016...
Some pics would be nice, wanting to get this too and put glass on top lol
so 1 question once I install skinomi skin what happens when I dip my phone in water or like splash water over it since the phone is water resistant. Does the skin come off ?
i ordered that protector and received it already but i dont have the phone yet...but did you get an email from skinomi saying they werent satisfied with the fit on the phone and changed the design up on the protector and is sending out a replacement protector for free...so i guess im gunna be getting a better fitting replacement from them...

Looks like Skinomi botched the first batch with incorrect sizes and are fixing the issue. They commented on Amazon re the issue to a customer complaining that it didn't fit properly so they probably pulled the stock until its fixed.

I can attest to how botched it was. The cut was for a S6E+ sized device and horrible IMO. They aren't the only company that did this, but at least theyre fixing it.

I bought a supershieldz before I got the phone just to have something and could get something better. Turns out, I need nothing else. I don't even know I have a protector on it. Love that cheap old thing.

If you're in the UK and desperate to get your screen protected until something better comes along, I can personally recommend this product.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161994219563&alt=web
It is of the wet apply variety however what I like about this is it has very low friction (rubbery feel) under finger like some other I've experienced in the past. Seller is UK based. I collected from Argos the day after I ordered it.
I've had Zagg in the past and considering how much they charge this is somewhat comparable in terms of quality. For £4 it will more than suffice until (read if) a decent tempered one hits the shelves.

FYI I'm using the Samsung Clear View case absolutely fine with this screen protector. Obviously it's wise to let it fully cure (dry) before putting in the case.

Perseverance to be honest. I found that the main screen piece held in place quickest. I squeegeed out excess liquid via the edges. Then started to work on the edges. Took a few attempts but eventually the edges held good enough in place. For several hours after while watching TV I used a combination of thumbs and fingers to smooth out any noticeable liquid. I also used a rubber pencil eraser to smooth out. Kept working on the edges too. I'm a bit anal about things like this so I kept at it until the whole screen surface was satisfactory to me lol. Next day it had cured fully.
Just found my first issue with these . Put in my pocket while I biked to work took out of pocket when at work and it had lifted. And also it's scratched like mad I know it's meant to protect the screen underneath but it looks awful. Also if it scratches in my pocket what's it going to do if it meets anything sharp. Think I'll be looking for something else. Gutted

Must've been chaffing on the phone quite a bit for it to lift! I can run my finger quite hard against the edge and no lift. I can see what you mean about the other issue though. I'm using mine with the Clear View case from Samsung so hadn't noticed. Ran my finger nail down the screen protector and it does seem to leave a little mark. It's protecting the screen so I can't complain too much plus you only notice the marks when angled in the right light.
As I say, for £4 - which is basically nothing - and quick UK delivery, for me I'm treating this as a cheap and quick method of protecting the screen until something better comes along.

Ordered one too. Only £6 for screen only.
I'm not normally one for phone cases. I think they ruin the look and feel which are major selling points of flagship phones, especially the sleek and glossy P20 Pro. But this phone feels really delicate. It's like holding a slab of glass. And we don't even know for sure yet what kind of glass (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/phone-gorilla-glass-protrction-yes-t3771328).
So my question is has anyone damaged their P20 pro yet? Anyone dropped it? Scuffed the body? Scratched the screen or back? I'm trying to get an idea of how vulnerable it is.
Tragic that I'm the first to reply to my own thread but I have actually cracked my screen! Not very badly. Just a hairline crack that sort of cuts off the top left corner about 1cm in. No not sure how it happened. I haven't dropped it. I may have put it down on the table slightly too hard, but nothing major. I'm a bit disappointed in its durability. I'm sure my old OnePlus 3t survived similar treatment many many times. Guess I'm going to have to use a case or be extra careful. I wouldn't fancy it's chances if I dropped it though!

Could it be that you cracked just factory installed protective plastic screen that exist over real glass screen?
No sadly not. The screen is definitely cracked.
It's gorilla glass 5.
Also, I have dropped mine from above my head while taking a photo at a gig and the phone bounced along the floor but suffered no damage, not even a scratch.

I'm with O2 in the UK, and I have insured my phone against pretty much everything so it is definitely possible to insure it. The phone should also come with a warranty, if you can prove the screen is defective and wasn't up to the specified standard then you would be able to put in a request for a replacement.

I'm curious about whether the phone was defective because I didn't really do anything that would damage it. Could have scratched it (can a scratch turn into a crack?). Seems very unlikely that I cracked it without noticing. But no idea how is go about proving that the phone was defective.
Update: got the glass protector from Sparin and it works just fine. You just have to re-enroll your fingerprints, but it works just as before, no extra pressure or time needed. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZS5SJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Found out after I purchased from Amazon (this one in particular: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDCNWGK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Looking at the few other phones that have in-screen fingerprint sensors, it's a common thing. Haven't even seen any old-school plastic screen protectors out for the Z4 yet.
I bought the same ones without the black border and it's been working fine for me. I also got the phone 1 day ago and the screen protectors 5 hours ago so that could change in 2 days lol.
I can confirm these work from Sparin, and also have the correct cutouts for the IR sensors at the top: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZS5SJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Didn't even have to re-scan the fingerprints (I originally scanned w/o the screen protectors).
I've got a Nillkin glass screen protector on mine. It's a bit slow but is works. I mostly use it for authorising payments rather than unlocking the device.
If you look at the moto website for the z4 in the fingerprint section / help, they have some that are "certified" by motorola to work.

That's a pretty slim list. I've had a tempered glass Supershieldz on my Z4 since day one with no FPS problems and it's not on that list. There are enough reviews on Amazon to see which ones work, which ones don't, and which ones are BS reviews.

I haven't been able to order a case or screen protector yet. I did buy a cheap silicon case originally for an apple iPhone 8+ and a one size fits all screen protector.
I prefer glass protectors too and have one on my S5. I had to get my phone through big red and I've been itching to debloat it using adb. It's just been hard to piece together what can safely be removed.
Have you bought or are you using a case? I really don't want to add a lot of bulk but since I use device when working outside a lot, I need to use a slim one at least.
On the other hand one dropped it twice on my bathroom floor's ceramic tile and haven't found a scratch anywhere even on the corners.
I'll make a post/thread with a list of everything I've debloated when I get home. Phones running great, and haven't had any issues so far. Debloated like 20 things.
Here's a list of everything I ADB debloated, the "not installed for this user".
Thanks man.

I can confirm these work from Sparin, and also have the correct cutouts for the IR sensors at the top: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZS5SJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I, too, have had good success with this screen protector. The glass sensor takes some getting used to, but it is no more susceptible to misreads than the hardware FPS on my Moto Z Force.

Shouldn't this be in a different thread? Not sure what phone you are referring to....

Considering I'm in the Moto Z4 forums, it should be quite obvious what phone I'm talking about. Feel free to look around, there is a whole new thread that was made regarding the debloat. I can post a link for you if you need. ?
I must be confused...I thought this was an accessories thread. My mistake!
So back to screen protectors......
We are fortunate to have a flatter surface, as opposed to Samsung. I personally just decided to go back to film screen protectors. Matte finish looks fantastic.
Can confirm this one works perfectly https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/aw/d/B07RZHVB6T?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

In certain places, it comes with a screen guard and in some places, it doesn't! The best one in my experience is the one that comes with the phone... Other than that, everyone else has some problem or the other!

If you're living in the best country in the world the USA then it won't come with a screen protector. Just a thin clear factory film that has a pull tab on the top right hand corner.
Rumor has it Samsung stopped applying screen protectors to it's devices sold in the USA. Because folks were returning the complete phone or creating mass warranty claims due to marks on the plastic supplied screen protector. Thus Samsung ceased it for this market. Wasn't worth the hassle.
I believe the snapdragon variants don't come with the screen protectors (US models) the Exynos ones do (Non-US models) I personally like whitestone glass protectors (they can be a pain in the ass to get on, but once you get the perfect fit it's like they're not there)

I have the snapdragon version which came with a pre installed screen protector (got the phone a week ago). The pre installed protector is pretty good but I replaced it with an amfilm glass protector which is amazing!
Hey, Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the US version at least I hope so

They don't come with screen protector. But I'm sure yours will, I feel it inside my bones.
