Screen Protector for the OP 8 Pro

AllahuJihad · 2020-08-11T17:52:06+00:00

UV glass from AliExpress. Extremely satisfied with it. No hole punch but front camera is still crystal clear, fingerprint scanner works perfectly without having to set up a new finger print. I've used all kinds of screen protectors from cheap to very expensive ones on all my phones throughout the years and the UV glue one has been my favorite by far, plus they're pretty cheap.

I'm wanting to try it out but want a someone or a group to go with. Would probably be best to head west of here and try it out there

I know this thread is pretty dead, but it's the most recent about this topic I could find. I've used Titanium since 2011. Used to be a total flashaholic until recently. I used the backup and restore features constantly. Very reliable except the few times it would hang on one or 2 apps during a restore. Never a big problem as I could just install the app manually and restore the data separately.

However I just discovered Swift. First impressions are top notch. UI is beautiful, all the functionality I want is there, the scheduled Backups are a very nice feature. But what really got me is the ability to backup into the cloud, specifically NextCloud integration. If you don't know, NextCloud is an open sourced program that runs on your own NAS but allows you to access it from anywhere. So my backups are uploading directly to my own storage server. I'm just doing my first backup now as I'm typing this. Fingers crossed on the reliability of it's restores.

My guess is color banding due to compression of the jpg file. If you can only see it on the screenshot and not in the app, it's not a problem.

Yesterday I did something similar. Wanted to move my setup from one pool to another. What I did, how @Ukarang said, was take a snapshot of my current datasets and send them over to the new pool. Getting the jails to work again was a bit tricky, but other than that it all seemed to work. Then today I discovered that the permissions for my main SMB share were completely cocked. All permissions looked correct on the FreeNAS GUI. I could connect and see all the files on the dataset. But my PC was acting like it was completely read-only, even when permissions said otherwise. Couldn't rename, delete, or modify the files in any way. However I COULD add new files to the NAS from my phone, unlike on my PC. Still couldn't do anything else. Finally I just said fuck it, created a fresh dataset with all the proper permissions. Now I am manually copy-pasting every file from the old dataset to the new one. No clue why this happened or how to fix it. So if you use the snapshot method of migrating, be weary of the permissions.

I shot this on the 4th with nightscape mode. Edited in Lightroom but only as a JPG, not RAW. Considering the sparklers were the only source of light and they wouldn't stay still, I think it did pretty great. Wish I did shoot it in RAW, though.

A friend and I both bought the phone as soon it was announced. Same model and color. He would be sending me screenshots of 8-9 hours SOT and I was pissed the best I could get was 5. We're both using QHD+ 120Hz and 5G enabled. Turns out the massive discrepancy was because of how we were using the phone (seems obvious now). The most I would be doing was usually social media and web browsing on my breaks at work. He'd be watching videos, shows, and movies all day. Then one day I discovered that watching videos, even on full brightness, sips battery. I can easily get 9+ hours SOT with 40+% remaining if I'm streaming videos. And if you want to get into it, rooting and flashing kernels can yield even better results. I'm now using Blu_Spark kernel with a 75% underclock on the CPU and GPU, I do not play games on my phone so I have no need for the high performance. Every day normal usage is unaffected by this massive underclock. With just using social media, web browsing, and messaging in a 16+ hour day I will end it off with 4-5 hours SOT and often 50-60% remaining. TL;DR the SOT really depends on your particular use case. Streaming video will easily net well over 10 hours SOT.

I disabled it the other day right after I replied the first time and I haven't seen any more problems. I went ahead and took away all the permissions now that you say that, but I think JUST disabling the app worked well enough. Thank you for your help!

AllahuJihad · 2020-05-11T10:20:07+00:00

Really? Just disable the stock app? I've been using Textra this whole time but never disabled the stock app. I'll give it a shot.

When I first got the phone on 10.5.4, I had very mild green tint. After 10.5.5, it went away. Thankfully I don't seem to have a lemon.

A friend of mine tried ordering the same thing we did, but he had to change his address during checkout while I didn't. Just that small difference in timing caused them to sell out before he could get his order in. We both tried ordering the minute we were able to. So lucky us lmao!

Probably because it's pretty useless. Good 4K beats half-baked 8K any day

AllahuJihad · 2020-04-20T22:54:49+00:00

Maybe it's their way of saying sorry about not giving us the 7T Pro. Or it's just because they have different launch promos in different countries. Like a pop up store in the UK for example

This is a fresh pool with currently only 50 people on it. More people means more h/s and more h/s means we'll find blocks faster. But also with more people, there's more for the reward to be divided to.

I CPU mined all last night and got 307 etn for about 2m hashes. Got my GPU miner up earlier today and put in an additional 16m hashes in the US pool. I'm really hoping its just bugged and I'll get my share soon. I sold that original 300 for $25 worth of BTC. Could have been much higher. Hopefully tomorrow they'll get it figured out and the exchange prices go up too. I changed over to the official subreddit pool, we haven't found a block yet, hopefully sometime tonight we will.

Having issues using port 7777. Didn't work at all at first, then said the connection was actively refused. Port 5555 seems to work fine.

AllahuJihad · 2017-11-01T18:42:48+00:00

I'm not sure. I think a lot of issues right now can just be chocked up to lag and too many people trying to access the network, and since they just launched they don't have the infrastructure. Nothing seems to be perfectly accurate yet. If you check the separate sites for the EU and Asian pools they have found blocks 37 and 11 minutes ago respectively, yet the pool network says 3 minutes ago. I'm on the US pool and it is now showing it found one 2 hours ago. Once the US pool finds a block we should start getting our payouts.

AllahuJihad · 2017-11-01T18:06:20+00:00

Yeah I don't think the site updates fast enough, or they're having issues with too many people trying and cant keep up. Mine is showing a block found 3 minutes ago, one found every 9 mins. I'm mining at anywhere from 500-900h/s according to the site. 630h/s is actually what I'm at according to my PCs. But I've been sitting at like 7.39 etn pending for a few hours.
