Had an email to say my trade in was received and is now being inspected. Fingers crossed the full amount wings it's way back to me!

Also, I have ordered the Mous case from Google Store. Coming tomorrow. The cheap clear one from Amazon was awful.
That was quick. I never got less as my phones are in good shape. Wife's screen has a pink hue so we'll see with hers, but it turns on and no cracks lol..

How did you get credit? We got it last year, not this year.

This is what I've always done with my Android handsets; never any issues TBH

I use Textra for SMS and that re-syncs faultlessly etc
Yes sir.. only a few select times that I ever go with a fresh install.. I also have SMS backup pro which backs up call logs and SMS but usually don't need it ..

Funny I bought 3 clear cases;

-Cheap Amazon case for $9 before the phone released.

-Google store bought Case Mate for $40

-Best Buy OtterBox clear case for $40 ( stupid me )

And you know which one I like best? The cheap $9 Amazon case. It's thinnest, and had a tacky almost sticky grip to it. The other two expensive cases were bulky and we're super stiff almost breaking the phone to remove the case, plus both were very slick feeling poor grip.

I'm going to start with Spigen Ultra until my Mous arrives ...

Really liking the Mous case alot. Very slim profile IMO and the magnet works great. Going to stick with it and maybe order something a little more rugged for when I'm on the beach, boat, etc.

I've ordered a different screen protector after the disaster that was the Spigen ones.
What's interesting, is every review of the Spigen ones on Amazon UK say same thing. The black border around the protector eats into the screen.

Hopefully they fix the product.
What ones did you order?

I ordered the Spigen ones and got them earlier this week, but with all this black border stuff going around, I think I would rather have something else.

I would like something that has the application alignment kit like the spigen has.

Yeah the one I have ordered today has the alignment kit. Awful use of plastic which is not ok.
The one I chose was amFilm. It comes with a back camera bar protector too but don't think I'll use that.

Same for me. I have the Spigen one here, but I would love something without the black border...

Still fiddling with a decision, ship dates slipping even more and 256gb storage somewhat available if I opt for a different color.

So kind of right now:
Go with lower storage (128gb) to get color I want sooner, pick different color for slightly more storage. Order what I want and have it sit for a month processing...

Or scrap the idea yet again :confused:

I looked on Amazon and saw the amFilm protectors. Only has 1 review though. Thats not inviting.

Also, they wouldn't come until the 19th, and I don't want to go that long with one on. Guess I'll keep looking.

If it's going in a case then does colour matter that much? If caseless then wait for the colour you want.

Any specific settings to change in the Developer options?

I always keep Animations to 1, as I like the smooth fluid look it gives, and going to 0.5 seems too fast or weird.

Anything else to change?
