YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 On 12/13/2016 at 08:45, Mr X said: You get a wet wipe type thing with the liquid glass on it and you wipe it on the screen, basically. It leaves a layer of "glass" on the screen which is tougher than screen protectors, scratch resistant and pretty much undetectable, meaning you dont loose any screen brightness or touch sensitivity https://www.crystalusion.com/en/liquid-glass-screen-protectors/ Had to ditch my screen protector last night as once again I dropped my phone on concrete. The protector has been damaged slightly so reckon it's done it's job and saved my screen, so I now need to either order a new protector or try liquid glass. Does the liquid glass layer definitely not get scratched if you drop it. I'm worried that it does then I'm stuck with a permanently damaged layer covering my screen. If it does I'd rather stick with the replaceable protectors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did get scratched you could just apply some more and it would fill in any scratches 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Said already I'd smacked my Umi and cracked the screen. Did it worse yesterday in a Hoolie So, £20 in fuel to snekie and £50 piece of shit... Or... Umi Z preorder in 4 days, $60 off making it $220, less the seventy bucks on a piece of shit... Hmmm.... 6 gigs of RAM.... Might need to get this glass stuff tho... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Umi Super upgrade to Android 7 now scheduled for mid-Jan according to this: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-5897-1-1.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Right, didn't go for the Z but went for the Plus (might get updates longer than Super) but basically the same phone as what I have. Flash Sale for it on gearbest, basic shipping to try and avoid Customs. All in, one hundred and forty of her Majesty's poons. Lol, no brainer these sort of things, brilliant value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Will be committing to this within the next week. You guys seem to buy a helluva lot of phones though, do they only last a couple of months?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Will be committing to this within the next week.

Still on my first one, working like a dream with not a scratch on it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm harsh on them, usually one a year, tho last one was about 7 weeks lol. Nature of work etc, no point in buying expensive ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Found a major bug on my Maya Max. Don't know if it's the same for others. When I try to send a long SMS text message, after a certain amount of characters it automatically switches to MMS and it won't let me change back. When it does this the MMS wont send and I get the message ;transmission failed'. I find it strange that it does this when it's a text message only without any picture or video attached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 From my time working in mobile phone customer care a few years ago (as far as I remember) if the number of characters in an SMS equals 3 standard text messages it will automatically convert into MMS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've witnessed this with any of my previous phones, or at least that I know of. It wouldn't bother me though if the MMS would send successfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 On some phones it was to do with MMS settings, maybe something in the menu? Or sometimes sending an MMS to yourself would set it up on the product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look in the MMS settings menu, only really options for delivery reports, size limit which is set to highest and auto retrieve messages which is selected. I'm receiving MMS ok, just not sending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'd still fire an MMS to yourself just in case no harm in trying.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm not receiving MMS too then and it's been MMS messages I've received through WhatsApp I've been thinking of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Agree with (I think Mr X?) from back in the thread with regards expedited shipping, 1-3 business days has passed and my delivery hasn't even registered on the Hermes tracking website. Nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 From memory of my first purchase, took a day or two of kicking around HK before it kicked in. Half the stopping points were there, then Leipzig, Birmingham , Inverness in rapid time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Has anyone bought the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro? It looks very decent but apparently it won't work with O2 or giffgaff over here, which would mean I'd have to change networks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Phones here. Anyone who, like me, who has surfed this thread for months without committing to buying should just go for it. Will post more when I have time later, but I have went for the lowest spec Umi (90 shniflets delivered) and it's miles better than my old HTC that cost me a fortune. Hope it lasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further enquires reveal its only 4G that won't work with this phone and O2 - 3G is fine.My next question, having never had a 4G phone - is there much difference between 3G and 4G? I'm not a huge downloader and only really use the internet for browsing/social media and a bit of YouTube occasionally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
