    Do you keep the factory screen protector on?

    That image puts a chill down my spine, watching Rambo last blood was easier;) They need a good case especially for corner protection on these almost no bezel look devices.

    Which to buy

    Smart man. I think you'll love it. A very versatile and fun device. It can be a pastime in its self... in a good way:)

    answer all questions instead of wasting my time and give me some bull**** non-answer

    Yes, yes I am :) Lol, if one can't fill in the blanks themselves, one shouldn't go blaming good intentioned remote 3rd parties for their own ineptness...

    Pixel 3 bricked from Anker wireless stand - local shop cannot find problem

    The main reason I get carrier variants and keep insurance of them until they are paid out :( A good case is important because it limits the G loading on the internal components; it helps protect them as well. Normally it takes hundreds of G's to damage them and the phone's outside covering adds...

    If you can't send it in for warranty repair do so but short of that it sounds like it's now a parts queen. Sorry :(

    Constant loss of 4g LTE signal.. Hardware issue?

    I think it's an assembly issue; not making proper contact.

    Constant loss of 4g LTE signal.. Hardware issue?

    That is "rubbing" alcohol... >91% though is best

    Constant loss of 4g LTE signal.. Hardware issue?

    Don't touch the contacts. Clean with isopropyl on a Q-tip and carefully inspect them. If the replacement part is higher than the OEM if could distort the antenna PCB, eyeball it. Make sure it's making contact... try tightening the screw closest to the contacts first.

    A component level or solder failure can happen at anytime. Manufacturing defects are inevitable. They are constantly dropped and suffer environmental insults throughout their life. It's amazing these miniature devices are as reliable as they are. It will take hands on by skilled tech with the...

    How difficult is it to replace the original screen protector?

    Well I'm still looking. The screen needs protection from sand scratches. Any screen protector will help spread an impact better than no protector at all. The curved screen is demon to protect :( Too bad Samsung never supplied factory replacements... That's how hard aftermarket protectors are...

    keep getting USB "power supply" notification

    If you have a none root package blocker for LG (I think I've seen them) you can start disabling likely candidates and see if you can track it down. If it's a nonessential apk you could permanently disable it. Also go into Developer Options and see if any there's any help there. I doubt it...

    How difficult is it to replace the original screen protector?

    When I get an open box special instead of new factory package one direct from Whitestone it tells me all I need to know. Never playing with these chintzy *Marine grade profanity* again... You really think this was the first time they did this?

    How difficult is it to replace the original screen protector?

    My experience with Whitestone was a bloody nightmare. They sent an Apple screen in the Note 10+ box and well as the wrong tray which didn't fit either one. It was obviously an open box special Whitestone reabsorbed and at best did a parts count inspection. Customer support was just send it back...

    Battery not the size as in specs.

    My bad :( They apparently manually set theirs as well...

    Battery not the size as in specs.

    Your screen is showing exactly the same albeit the value. Since I manually entered it I think it's defaulting to that value; initially it was slightly lower. I corrected it. The correct rated capacity is what matters. It sets the baseline... ha-ha life's not fair.
