Pixel 9 Pro XL.

When I go to 'Battery' it tells me I have 89% battery capacity compared to new. That's good I guess so far.

The issue is when I then go to "Battery Health Tips". All 4 options when clicked upon come up in Japanese. I don't read Japanese. Plain old English would be fine.....

Is this a setting I can change, or does everyone get Japanese when you click on these options?

If it's just me, how exactly do I change the language to English.

For those of you with AWT scales what's your experience with Cerakote versus anodized? Scratches, chips, anything?

They say the anodized (Type III hardcoat) is far tougher than Type II hardcoat, and Cerakote, but I'm curious what your experience has been with your daily carry knife.

I'd probably prefer the Type III, but some of the colors I like more aren't available in that finish. Also, they mention with the two anodized hardcoats, "slight cosmetic variations such as minor color differences, mottling, visible grain, or small rack/contact marks, and small spots are normal and expected. " What have your experiences been? How bad can it be?

I'm curious what you guys do when you get a brand new folding knife.

I watched one video where a guy took the knife apart and polished the phosphor bronze bearings with a polish impregnated polishing cloth before putting it back together. I never thought of doing that! That led me to wonder what other people do when getting a new (higher end) folding knife. All I typically do is lube the pivot, protect the blade with a protectant (while assembled), and Loctite the screws.

Do any of you polish the area of the blade/frame/liners where the bearings ride?

Do you typically remove all the screws and use some purple thread locker in them?

What is the typical routine? What would be the ultimate routine?

Anyone here purchase from the above company? They seem to have some very good pricing on certain items so I'm wondering if they're legit.

Just picked up a Manix 2 XL in Crucarta. I went looking online for images of Manix' with aftermarket hardware, trying to see some different color combos. Seems if anyone has the brown (tan?) micarta scales they leave the original silver hardware in place.

Does anyone here have any images of a Crucarta knife with stock scales but colored hardware? I'm looking for some inspiration.

Today I ordered a Manix 2 XL in Cruwear with brown micarta scales.

This is my first knife in Cruwear. I understand it has the potential of getting a patina if not oiled. It doesn't have to be food safe, but if it is I guess that would be a plus.

I have Frog Lube, mineral oil, and about 20 other gun oils.

I understand Camellia/tsubaki is good too, but what oil is good/best? Can this protective oil also be used for the pivot or would I be better off with 2 separate products, one for corrosion and one for pivot?

Also, would whatever particular product(s) you recommend be good for the brown micarta without permanently staining it? I have a micarta scaled BM Mini-Rukus auto, and a Kizer Sheepdog both with Micarta, and Frog Lube was applied to the micarta without issue. It temporarily darkened the scales but like mentioned it was temporary and didn't leave stains.

Thoughts?

I have a PW4 45mm. I just enabled Developer Options on the watch somewhat accidentally by repeatedly clicking on some things.

​

Is there anything in Developer Options I should switch (enable) to make things work 'better'?
