| Posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:47 PM PDT You'll find it by different names depending on where you are in the world. B7000, E-6000, etc. It's kind of like a really strong rubber cement, but a little more firm, much more adhesive, and breaks loose around 180*F like the factory glue. I replaced my battery on my Pixel 2 a few months back and used the adhesive precut tape provided by iFixit. Nothing against the company, the guide was excellent and so is the battery. But yes, even from a properly respected site, the adhesive is still junk compared to glue. The screen would pop up here and there and all around just didn't feel like straight from the factory. I replaced it with some E-6000 today, and like with the tape, I LIGHTLY clamped my phone between two books to hold the screen down while it cures. And now this is exactly what it should look like. Factory precise fit and depth, not areas lifting, and not flex in the screen. You are likely to get some overflow on the glue but the great thing is after letting it cure for 2 hrs or so between the clamps, you can pull your phone out and scrap the stuff off easily with a toothpick. Bonus points using glue is you have a chance of retaining at least some of your water resistant properties. I know this is a very niche amount of people that will be doing this, but had I known how much better this stuff is than the "official factory cut adhesive" is, then it would have saved me a lot of time. Before I was 6.5/10 with my screen reattachment and now feel 10/10 with how factory it looks, feels, and fits. [link] [comments] | ||

| Never satisfied: My search for a better phone has proven to be an illusion. Posted: 23 Jul 2020 05:40 PM PDT This isn't a troll post, and it's certainly not meant to be rant, I'm just another tech enthusiast who wanted to try different phones and compare them. Since last year I've tried various smartphones from different manufacturers and I found that the "improvements" advertised are so redundant that it's actually funny. . . It all starts with spec chasing, especially this year: More cameras, more megapixels, more ram, 5g, bigger batteries, higher refresh rate... it's all so redundant that it's actually funny.
What I'm trying to say is that spec chasing isn't the answer anymore, we keep trying to improve hardware without focusing on the software side of things, the reason we have lack of improvement and higher and higher prices is that we continue to engage in unecessary consumerism, our love for tech makes us enthusiastically blind, and by voting with out wallets while buying newer and newer tech we are indirectly telling companies that it's ok to bring out more redundant "improvements" and continue to ignore the parts that really matter. I will continue to support android because it's still my favourite mobile os, but I won't engage in unecessary consumerism for redundant improvements. [link] [comments] | ||

| Why isn't there a "don't automatically connect" option for Bluetooth devices? Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:19 AM PDT I get so frustrated with having to unpair my car because if I don't it will always kick off my headset. On the rare occasion I want to listen with my car, I have to stop and pair it rather than just connecting to an already-paired device. Am I the only one with this frustration? Why is there no option anywhere to tell my phone which devices should always connect and which should only connect when I want? We have it on wifi with the "automatically connect" option - why not on Bluetooth? [link] [comments] | ||

| Grey screen / lock screen with 2 Question Marks FIX! Posted: 23 Jul 2020 10:00 AM PDT Just putting this here because I couldn't figure it out for days and couldn't find any solution online. So just in case someone in the future is looking they may be able to find this. The issue: Apon waking the phone, there's a grey screen with two question marks. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/94cvK2W FIX: It's caused by the KLCK app - just uninstall it and it's gone!! I had downloaded it on my last phone but never got around to making a lock screen with it, but for some reason when I transferred all my apps to this new phone it enabled it, and I guess that grey screen is the default lock screen. Hope this helps someone down the road! [link] [comments] |
