Nice write up. 2 additional comments regarding #8:

1. In addition to the SGP stickers (or instead of...), scotch tape works (actually a little better and is easier to manipulate)

2. I found that using the stickers or scotch tape to lift the film for dust removal didn't work too well...not sticky enough. It was suggested to me that I use shipping tape for lifting. Works great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FaRKle!:
I got my dad an ipad 2 and steinheil screen protector for it and found that the top film cover works great for lifting up the corners. Just stick it on the area you want to lift up, press down on it so it makes good contact with the protector and pull up.

How was installing the Steinheil on a larger screen (ipad)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
My ultra crystal gets mad fingerprints and deep scratches. No small minor scratches, big ones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
I had 2 pack of steinhalls didn't like the fit at all, couldn't get them on how I wanted.. I just slapped a fosmon premium crystal on..... it fits perfectly no gap no nothing when it's clean looks exactly like glass.... just Little softer to the touch alittle less smooth..... but it also cost 7bucks for a 4 pack even if it does scratch I have 2x as many and it looks great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FaRKle!:
It was definitely more difficult and there were more bubbles, but overall ended up just fine. I used the same methods as I did for my phone. The thing that made it difficult was aligning everything *just* right since it's a lot larger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zaneyard:
Just got my set today. I wish I would have had the wisdom to install these outside or something. My damn cats shed so much it's like a blanket in the entire house. First protector got hair on it and I figured that it would be near impossible to get off. Second one went on alright, the forward facing camera doesn't have an equal amount of space around it and the protector, but other than that it looks great. I do have one weird little ball that reflects light oddly though. I'm not sure of the protector was just dented, or something. I dunno, but it's hard to notice unless you're looking for it. Seems like it picks up the oil from my fingers easier, but it's also easier to clean. Perhaps it's because I actually washed my hands before I put the protector on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tony4681:
Yeah, I noticed it attracts alot of finger prints and it hard to get the residue off on the protector. On the phone glass i would just wipe it on my shirt and it would come right off. With the protector even if i wipe it with my shirt or microfiber cloth i can still see the residue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Fog it up with your breath, then wipe it with a cloth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Anyone have a Steinheil on with their Case Mate Tough and if so any problems?

The TPU case and this protector did not play well together, it was constantly being lifted off by it. My Tough comes in the mail today so I'm curious if it'll run into the same issue or not.

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II with XDA Premium
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
I've had the tough case/steinheil combo for a week or two now. No problems at all, but I also used the tpu/steinheil w/o problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
If you don't mind posting back in 2 or 3 weeks, I'd be interested in knowing if it still meets your expectations. There are those who say that the anti-fingerprint coating of the ultra fine wears off.

The ultra clear is great, but it collects not only smudges (in a big way...), but sometimes it appears that there is skin oil on the film. This, even though I don't have oily skin at all. Wiping with a microfiber cloth removes all. And it needs wiping very frequently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
Thats strange because I do not have any problems with the ultra crystal and the Tpu case, and I am switching daily as I use a second battery so lots of on/off and not once did it lift the edges.

When I install I make sure to obviously have it perfectly clean, but I hard press the edges extra extra hard and many times for insurance. Also, what MIGHT have happened in your situation is that it got lifted once/twice and that meant that it got perhaps a little dirty (lint/oil/combination of foreign stuff) which only made things worse, exacerbating the problem. that is why it continued to happen. Possibility...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Ditto...No issues what so ever!! Love it!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
+1 no issues (but I do not take take the case off often)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g4me0v3r:
I've been using the Ultra Fine for quite some time now and I have no issues with it. Sure it'll pick up some oil but that's easily taken care of with a quick wipe. I showed my gf my screen protector and she liked it so much she had me get an Ultra Fine for her Incredible 2. She's had it for about 2 weeks now and loves the matte finish.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] capo_kyle:
Friend of mine got one of these and loves it, think I'll try it myself...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] canito63:
Its the best screen protector I've ever seen. I have the ultra oleophobic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryanh85:
I have the Ultra Crystal. Best screen protector hands down. Love the water free application and its smooth as glass. You couldn't tell that its on if it wasn't for the edges. The only downside to it, is that it attract finger prints quite easily. Hmm maybe I'll try the Oleophobic next time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aldope727:
Best protector out there

Great protector so far, I got one on my Xoom also, the best. Worth the money.. go on. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cray-z:
I got the ultra oleophobic version. Looks great, was easy to apply, came with 2 screens and a hard plastic tab to smooth it out. Only slightly affects scrolling (found myself having to apply a bit more pressure than I usually do).

My biggest issue with it is despite being olephobic, it is super greasy. I've tried cleaning it with monitor wipes and dry cloths but I cant get it to stop looking like my fingers are constantly covered in oil.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ppcpirate:
same issues here, the oleophobic doesn't really work that well. also, mine already has a scratch on the protector, had it for less than a month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
I clean the ultra crystal with windex and a soft cloth, or just water and anything. It will develop scratches the more careless you are. It is really the best on the market bar none. It has no effect on touch whatsoever and is not noticeable at all.

My experience prior to this was with a sprint store installed ONE ($14) that was true garbage. It was tinted or something, and it wore a fingerprint in the back and home static touch keys within a week. It was like a thin piece of contact paper (easier to remove however).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
I had the Anti Fingerprint one on my Evo 4g and LOVED it. Wanted to get the ultra oleophobic version, sucks to hear it doesnt work that well. My screen always gets oily, and im tired of constantly cleaning my screen!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigidk:
I have the Ultra Fine - switched to it after using the Ultra Crystal. The Ultra Crystal was good but had lots of fingerprints and oil, much like the glass.

The Ultra Fine has solved that issue and also helps with glare. Very happy with it.

I use the TPU case and do have some issues with catching the edge of the screen protector - creating some bubbles.

I cut the corners of the case down - solved the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
I have the Ultra Oleophobic on my Epic 4G touch, it's a mixed bag:

Pros:

1. Super clear-this protector is every bit as clear as the SGP Ultra Crystal which I previously had on my EVO 4G.

That's really about it.

Cons:

1. Despite being called Ultra Oleophobic, it's anything but. I have to constantly clean it off, it always looks oily and fingerprinted. I don't even remember the Ultra Crystal I had on my EVO 4G gathering this many fingerprints and oils. In addition cleaning these smudges off is not easy, it requires a cloth and cleaning solution to get the protector to where I truly feel it's clean. Sure I can wipe it off on my shirt but the reality is that when I do this I just tend to reduce the oiliness somewhat. Mostly I just end up moving the oil around on the protector.

2. I don't think the fit is as good as the Ultra Crystal was on my EVO 4G. The fit is good, but I feel it could extend a bit more to the edges of the display. With my TPU case on the lower border of the protector is not covered by the TPU case. If the cut were a little better the TPU case would cover all the edges of the protector.

3. I'm a screen protector install pro, been at it for years. I have a technique and with a bit of patience I always get a perfect install. With that said this was the most difficult one I have ever dealt with. For some reason eliminating dust under this one was vastly more difficult than any other. In addition I found that this one applied with many bubbles that I never had to deal with on any other SGP protector.

Because it really doesn't offer any advantage over the Ultra Crystal and has quite a few disadvantages, I can't recommend it. I wish SGP offered the Ultra Optics for the Epic Touch 4G. I had that on my iPhone 4S and it's a really great compromise between clarity and smudge resistance. I just ordered the Ultra Fine from Amazon as the next best alternative. For a while I had the SGP Anti-Fingerprint protector on my EVO 4G (what is now the Ultra FIne) and I really liked it other than the reduction in screen clarity. I'm hoping the Ultra Fine affects the Epic Touch display quality a bit less.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigidk:
I use the Ultra Fine - much better than the Ultra Clear. Also use the TPU case and had issues pushing up the screen protector. I just took a scissors to cut down the TPU case in a couple corners and problem solved.

GREAT combination - the Steinheil Ultra Fine - and the TPU case - can't think of better protection while maintaining the feel of the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] globalninja:
I have both the Ultra Crystal and Ultra Fine. I love them both, but i prefer the ultra fine because it seems a bit less "draggy" than the clear, and it is anti-fingerprint and anti-glare.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ppcpirate:
I've found that if you use a piece of tape, it can remove all the oil from the screen. Of course you do this once in a while because it's not an ideal solution. [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slobadon:
I have been using this Ultra Oleophobic for about two weeks. My last phone had one of these "military grade" somewhat squishy films that you could push in with a fingernail. I like this new one much better for feel. Nice and smooth and much more glass like feel.

The whole Oleophobic thing, not what i thought it was going to be, but something else altogether. Instead of spread out blurry smudges, they kind of bead up and the oils move around very easy. Which for me means easy removal.

It is just a bit smaller then the glass, but my case covers it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
I've now had the ultra clear for a few months. Initially, it seemed to collect fingerprints. Then it went through a stage where skin oil was in liquid form on the glass.

Now, the fingerprints don't seem nearly as bad and there is no oil issue at all. Perhaps there's a coating on the protector that after extensive use, wears off.

Better than new, one might say.

I've had no problem with scratches at all, but I take pretty good care with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] urinsane:
I've been using one of the oleophobic protectors since around October and still love it. I think it does pickup prints a bit faster than it used to, but it still isnt bad.

It has picked up a lot of small scratches, and 2 or 3 ones that are actually noticeable. Even then they aren't noticeable with the screen on, and I don't baby my phone. I have no doubt the gorilla glass would be scuffed without the protector.

I still have the extra one that I'll throw on soon, but I got such a perfect install with the first one I'm almost scared to take this one off.

By far the best protector I have ever used (clarity/durability/feel) and I will definitely be using these for my future devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] otacon507:
I can't find any steinheil protectors on the internet for the 4g touch. Anyone know where to find em', I was really wanting to buy an ultra crystal! Whats the next best product for screen protection?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] elopez2808:
Today I randomly saw 1x instead of H or 3G. Any body know what that means?? I went to the settings and under phone status and stuff it said the mobile network is unknown. My data still seems fairly fast. Anybody else ever see this? I'll try to upload a screen shot later
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
I've never had 1x... usually 2g,3g,4g or E, H and usually when I see unknown in my phone info I dont have any signal...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Which rom are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
I've had this happen to me before on a CM flash. Sometimes it could just be a bad flash that caused your phone to think it is a CDMA device so it is showing CDMA bars.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] elopez2808:
I'm on CM7, weird thing is, it started flip flopping between H and 1x. But it looks like it stopped now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
1x, aka G, is the old, OLD cell phone internet from the 1990s. I've only ever seen it in rural areas and it is mind blowingly slow; speedtest came up with 9 kbps download speed. That is not a typo. It couldn't even get a rating on upload.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
1X is slow CDMA internet. Never was on GSM systems. GSM slow internet was called WAP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] elopez2808:
Here's a screen shot from when it was happening. Like I said I'm just confused haha it wasn't slow though. I was pulling about 1.5 Mbps down so I don't think it was G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
That's weird as ****... 1x is totally CDMA tech. Not sure why it would ever show up on your phone. I guess if you are still getting your 3G speeds, it's not a big deal. Totally interesting though.

Badly programmed custom rom?
[Epic 4G General] Shadowbl4ze:
so i called in to sprint beacuse for like the 5th time ive had txting issues with my phone reverted my phone completly stock before i called in beacuse i know there gonna want a hard reset done and what not.... by the time i got done with him i had a black screen and a status bar i couldnt even drag down they want me to go to the sprint store and now i can get a evo or nexus s after my 4 epic lol prolly gonna stay with the epic for now anyways. when it works its great. good thing for odin and u guys keeping **** up on here. or i have a cant even call it semi bricked just a screwed up phone that cant do **** except tell me time lol
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
yeah, just for future reference, don't do anything Sprint suggests that's more serious than turning your phone on & off and/or maybe pulling the battery. most of their staff know far less about the devices they support than anyone here.
[Epic 4G General] Shadowbl4ze:
yea well it was bassicly all the same stuff i normaly do to fix my phone anyways just he sent a update to my phone and it didnt take and it was all hell from there shortly after that happend he transfered me to someone else i thought it was funny beacuse i was just gonna go to my computer reflash my phone to the way i had it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aquarianperry:
Since AT&T's model has the thicker NCF 1650mah battery by default I'm thinking that the Korean NFC 2000mah package may fit since that is probably what the AT&T GSII build may likely be based on since the AT&T version has NFC and is a mm or so different in size vs the international version, similar to the Korean SGSII version and how the international version can't handle the Korean kit (the 2000mah NFC battery fits, the back doesn't).

What would be interesting to know is if the international battery kit back fits the Korean GSII's since we know the Korean battery kit back does not fit the international GSII, and from what I've seen on the internet the AT&T version can not use the international kit (probably due to the back but the battery may still fit).

If anything I hope its just the back of the AT&T GSII that is incompatible with the international GSII cause if the battery and the back is different in size then I'll be really pissed cause that would mean that AT&T has a totally different size from all the rest of the GSII's which could make buying accessories really slim picking, one of the main reasons why I held out over the AT&T variant over the Sprint version was the similarities with the international version which means more accessories to choose from. So HOPEFULLY the Korean kit works.

Another option is to look at the batteries for the Indian version of the GSII since it supposedly has NFC as well but I have not seen anything on it. And of course we could just wait for AT&T and Samsung bring out the 2000mah battery kit for the AT&T GSII but I'd be surprised if they have any plans on doing that anytime soon if at all since Samsung will be busy with the Nexus and AT&T will be busy with their upcoming QHD and HD phones.

It's just a hunch but I went and ordered the Korean NFC 2000mah battery kit from exportprive for $35 USD (plus $20 USD "express" shipping) over the weekend along with a couple of those charger stands ($13 USD each) and I guess they will ship it soon so I'll be the guinea pig for testing the Korean battery kit and the AT&T GSII, wish me luck :D!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
That is a lot of typing for a battery ha ha..jk

Look forward to seeing if this works if so I'll follow suit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
From reading the general SGSII 2000 mAh thread, I believe as long as it's "NFC" it will fit our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
After all that hassle, it will suck if the 2000mAh batteries have less capacity than the 1650mAh batteries due to Samsung's standards over cheap battery mfrs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
The 2000 mAh batteries are made by Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aquarianperry:
LOL yeah I can be wordy but hopefully it makes for good reading :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aquarianperry:
Reports so far from people using the 2000mah batteries on the international GSII are calling it a 20%+ gain in battery life along with better cooling due to different back and overall good looks without much of an addition in thickness with the phone being around the thickness of the Captivate after the battery and back are installed. If it works I think it will be a great addition to an already great phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aquarianperry:
Ah, just got a response from exportprive that explains the situation:

I wonder how much trouble it would be to get an extended back for the AT&T version to fit this back? Seeing how the 2000mah NFC batteries aren't as easy to come by as the even more hard to come by regular international 2000mah batteries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mpazevedo:
I would hate for someone to be a guinea pig but I'm going to wait till someone tries it on the US version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thehavock18:
I await to see how this plays out. I would love to have the larger battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aquarianperry:
I cancelled my order, the battery does fit but then the replacement back to go with the battery doesn't. Hopefully Samsung will put this kit out for the AT&T version :(.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
I wonder if there's a non-Samsung door that will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ExKreations:
I got this battery with a dock charger and it works fine but when I plug it in to anything (computer/usb or power/usb) it freezes the phone and makes it cycle the battery charging/phone off symbol while the battery(?) makes a very quiet clicky sound. Not good. So I started charging it on the dock (came with a spare battery charging slot) and carrying it as an extra. It works fine, just don't charge your precious AT&T Galaxy S2 with it.

I did the shot at this angle so you could see the contacts, I saw some mention of it. My bad on the upside-down hah.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
All questions concerning an AT&T version seem to be ignored in the international version thread...has anyone found one that fits our version??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Intratech:
The 2000 mAh battery for the international Galaxy S 2 should work on the AT&T version since the back appears identical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
the backs appear identical, however the international version is not NFC capable and therefore that battery will not be the same. but i agree that the I9100 thread seems to ignore any comments about the I777. wth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmunjal:
I just bought the 2000 mah batter from Ebay and it has the NFC label on it. Of course, I have the international version and it doesn't fit. For those that have the US version, PM me if you'd like to buy it. I'm in the SF Bay Area, CA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
Same damn thing happens to mines ugh....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DinoB12:
I just posted about the extended battery I recieved yesterday. It is a 2600MAH battery from a company called TruCell. I took a risk because they were the only company I found on the web selling a battery specifically for the AT&T model. Funny on Ebay it said for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 but whe I look at the battery it says for the I9100. In any case the battery and the case fits perfectly. Phone is heavy as all get out but If It gives me an extra 4 to 5 hours of heavy use then I am perfectly fine with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frankiedizzle87:
what did that monster cost you???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
I'm also skeptical, that's why i'm not going to be the guinea pig this time around :cool:

My concearn is not really the battery because we know where to get the proper battery with NFC ( Korean version), I'm just wondering if the cover would really fit with no mod? There are actually 2 sellers offering the kit for the i777 and I asked them both and they said it would fit 100% It is ebay and paypal so worst case scenario the buyer can get a refund :confused:

It is oem, I'm not concearned about the battery, just the cover fitting nicely.

I asked the sellers and they said they have tested on the i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pham818:
i just brought it. hopefully it works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Ok bro, good luck and lets us know about the cover when you get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raven35:
Any updates on battery and cover?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
It's probably still in the mail, China to USA is like 2-3 weeks. I'm also eager to hear the results!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
I got my Korean battery so far so good I'll drain it then do a full charge and see how long it'll last me the original battery later for two sold days this will go for longer! Battery charges no boot loops nfc works! I'll mod the cover when I have the time! I place the cover on my phone just a few side tabs misalign but dam my phone looks sexy in the Taurus case! I'll post pictures later gotta study now!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
Or what if we just bug Samsung to release a compatible i777 2000 battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
The Korean version battery IS compatible with i777. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
The battery is not the problem, the battery cover is ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hyp3rdr1v3:
Since only one person has been able to obtain an international 2000mah battery cover that snapped on right away I was wondering what everyone's ideal solution is. Are you guys modding the cover to fit or going with a case, and if so what case?
