bad thing

same happened to me but without dropping it and got slight scratches on the merror finish bezel i wet sanded it using 1500 grit then 3000 without even putting pressure on it and wow its gone and to get back the metal look used some chrome polish and pulished it 3 times with wipping them in between with water it it was at the bezel you can do that and if it was at the plastic face i thing it might work with caution

do it at your own risk :D

Only if you wrap your note in cotton wool!....i like to know that my screen will not get scratched:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] kdel:
Received and applied the Martin Fields one yesterday. It looks very nice. I cannot tell a difference from the unprotected screen, and I had been using my Note for 5 days or so without it. At the very first, it gave a little friction when I slid my finger across it, but it smoothed right out after an hour or so. Now, it feels just like unprotected glass. The pen works great too. (just using regular s-pen.)

i'm really confused and can't decide which protectors is best and want buy right nowhe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Pikkie86:
+1 for Steinheil. I use the Ultra Optic at the moment. Application is very simple and easy. It fits perfect!! Been playing for hours with the stylus and there's absolutely no scratches and the sensitivity is still 100%. Highly recommended.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ericshmerick:
I just ordered this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069EGL7W/

Couldn't find the Optic anywhere...not even on SGP's site...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Pikkie86:
Ordered mine from this shop on Ebay. Fantastic service and very fast delivery to South Africa.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ericshmerick:
Thanks. Was able to cancel the Amazon order and ordered the Optic from this listing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
I brought the Ultra Optics and Oleophobic combo from this eBay seller, eBay LINK

It includes 1x Ultra Optics and 1x Oleophobic film so you can try both screen protector for the price of 1 set, pretty clever seller I must say!

I'm liking the SGP Ultra Optics very much, very easy to apply, easy to clean, and still great clarity!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ericshmerick:
Now you post this after I've bought the Optics... :-)

I think I'll like the optics anyway. Besides, it's not frequently (if ever) that I change an adhered protector anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] vcespon:
I've just received and installed the Martin Fields screen protector. I managed to clean the big screen and apply the film without any dust particle getting below it. The screen protector is a little smaller than the front of the phone. I would prefer it to be a little bigger and reach the raised border around the screen, so that there's no gap for dust and fibers to get in.

The film is pretty thick, semi-rigid, but absolutely clear, does not modify the image and I can read even small letters without problems. S-pen works and slides just like on the glass screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] coderedcomputing:
Thanks to all of you folks who have thrown up these links for places to get the other SGP styles, the "Fine" really did not work for me... other folks in the office like it, others agree with my view that it blurs the screen with the matte finish, but now giving a shot to the Crystal, and the seller who has the Optic and Oleophobic...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ephestione:
I am a cheap buyer when it comes to protectors, I can't get myself to spend several euros for a small piece of transparent plastic film, which by design doesn't last forever, and IMO everyone who sells one for 8dollars a piece is a thief.

Still, screens get scratched no matter what, and when I bought an SGS2 a few months ago, the previous owner managed to put a scratch on an edge of the gorilla glass, so I don't even trust the resistance of the material to just protect itself.

In the end, since I couldn't find a cheap-enough protector of the 3-layer kind (the ones that have two additional layers you remove before applying, and right after application, and that I bought for the SGS2 in a 6-pack which was affordable according to MY standards) I went for a 18-pack from the german ebay seller some of you have been talking about in previous pages.

I already knew that kind of protectors since I bought some of them for the HD2, and I found a pretty reliable method to apply them almost bubble-less; also the thinness is a pro for me, since there's less foreign material inbetween your fingertip and the screen to possibly alter the sensitivity.

Also, scratch-resistance is pretty much good, given I don't use the phone on a battlefiled, and my keyring is not naked but has a leather pouch surrounding the metal.

They are not totally precise for the screen, and you need to take into consideration a certain gap between film and screen edges when applying.

The ultrathin cheap german protectors for the Galaxy Note have one HUGE problem tho, which I didn't notice for other phones: the peel off extremely easy, I would just take it out of my pocket to hear the sounds of the film detaching from the screen, and as soon as I can look at it I see a lot of bubbles from the sheet angle that just sticked itself again to the screen; that part of the protector then becomes prone to subsequent detachments, and pretty soon is filled with dust from my pocket surface, and after a while you need to change film.

This probably comes from the film not sticking very well onto the edges, which are then detached by the minimum friction.

Worst case scenario is if you don't apply the protector perfectly parallel to the starting edge: this will cause an oblique direction so the in the end one angle will overlap the thicker border, and even slipping a fingertip near it will unglue the border, and dust will ensue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Pikkie86:
That's exactly why I buy one proper 15$ SGP protector and there's no issues like that. It fits precisely and it never comes of.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
You spend good money for your Galaxy Note, don't be a 'cheap buyer' for the screen films, a good quality screen film do make a difference. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] amv13:
All these things are impossible to apply. I just spent half an hour trying to get bubbles out of mine, the more I tried the dustier it became. A total waste of money.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
I feel the same way. spent 15 minutes and i still have bubbles

Any feedback on the Golebo screen protector?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Beretta93:
Just got my ultra optics + oleophobics, last is just awesome, excellent feeling, stuck easily with no bubble at all. Screen is now mate and no fingerprint anymore. I am 100% satisfied.

Use any credit card like plastic and do it from buttom up
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] magickiller9:
so many varieties for SGP guard. not sure which to pick, currently using a 5bucks screen guard and the clarity sucks. Although the glare is excellence.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
If you find it too hard to do yourself, just buy whatever screen protector you want, and take the stuff to any wireless store, and have one of those guys put it on for you. I did and it was so much better
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Amande:
Using the dedicated Brando Ultraclear. Excellent feeling.

To apply it : get some hot water in your bathroom to slap the dust away and keep a credit card handy for the bubbles :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ddeath:
SGP Ultra Optics, matt (surface is made up of microscopic domes) but clarity of screen remains, unlike others. Best matt protector I've seen and used so far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] SurfHenk:
Golebo Semi-Matt vs SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics

I had the Golebo Semi-Matt protector on my screen for a few days. In fact I ordered it together with my Note as a relatively cheap way to protect my screen when waiting for the set of SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics I also ordered at the same time, but which would take longer to arrive being shipped from South Korea.

Not knowing in advance whether the SGP's would in the end be better than the Golebo.

The Golebo Semi-Matt really ruins the great screen of the Note though. While of course the screen is still useable, you get a very pronounced effect of scattered small colored pixels. Comparable to the effect of water drops on the screen but finer. It did what I wanted though, protect the screen until the, hopefully better, SGP's arrived. And in all fairness, fingerprints were not visible.

So regarding the Golebo I really do not recommend getting the Semi-Matt for the Note.

Maybe the regular Golebo Crystal is fine. In fact I suppose you will not get the scattered colored pixels effect. But you will of course have the disadvantages wrt fingerprints of a non-matt screen protector.

On to the SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics. First of all the package is top notch, including two protectors (making them acceptable cost-wise), a lint-free cloth, dust-removal stickers (very handy, I was able to remove all small trapped dust particles) and an application card (which I really feel you do not need, just "roll it on").

The difference in image quality is night and day compared to the Golebo Semi-Matt. In fact even though also being a matt protector, I do not see any of the scattered colored pixels effect. For me the image quality is all I could wish for. The protector is also quite good in hiding fingerprints and other contamination, even though this is the only area the Golebo Semi-Matt performed better in.

So all in all I can really recommend the SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics for our beloved Samsung Note. In fact I think these protectors provide exactly the right amount of surface roughness to avoid the nuisance of fingerprint and other contamination without affecting image quality.

I have SGP ultra crystal. It's really clear, so I love it. Buuut! Weakness point is scratch...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
You should try the SGP Oleophobic, you will love it more!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] veekay666:
so which is the best overall sgp product as i can only use one. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] planoman:
+1 I was skeptical of the oleophobic claims. I must say I am impressed! It does cut down on the oils from your fingers and face and is easier to clean. If you get a good installation it is invisible and the s pen works perfectly with this screen protector on.

Wait-a-sec, ultra-fine is not the best?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] holgalee:
I haven't been able to find any answer to this, but has anyone used both the Ultra Crystal and the Ultra Oleophobic? How do they compare, especially in terms of mattness, readability of text with white background, and screen brightness?

My Galaxy S had an amazing Ultra Crystal--came with an SGP case--that seemed to be anti fingerprint etc, though a bit more scratch proof. It really seemed like I had no screenprotector at all! But my Note's Ultra Crystal is more of a fingerprint magnet. I'm currently using Dataflex which is matte but has slightly "grainy" look that I dislike, and I need to set higher brightness for my screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dt33:
Just recieved mine SGP Optics and after applied. I see the pentile pattern on the screen all the time. Is this normal with screen protector?

Before without screen protector, I never see the pentile pattern with AMLOED screen and now I see it clearly. Noticeable on white background.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
I have tried both plus the Ultra Optics and I can tell you Ultra Crystal is just that, ultra clear screen film that does not interfere with screen clarity but is finger magnet. Oleophobic is ultra clear too plus a anti oil coating to prevent finger prints. IMO, you shouldn't even spend $$ for the Ultra Crystal because its free with the purchase of SGP NOTE cases. Give the Oleophobic a try and you will be like a lot of us satisfy users. :cool:

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

You try it and let us know! I want to see how their cut out is for the top portion though. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Its not the pentile pattern that you see but the added grain on the optics screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] naimmkassim:
I use mate type before, but its really annoy me when im using the S pen. Its create high friction and causing the mate to scratch a lot. Now im using cheap clear type screen protector. Much more satisfy!

thanks the thread
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] holgalee:
Thanks, lexi250! Can I check if the Oleophobic cuts down glare a bit more than the Ultra Crystal? Or there's no difference? A saleperson selling cases just dissed my Ultra Crystal, saying it's not good. Ouch! :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
After having tried both the RealLook and SGP Ultra Oleophobic, the SGP protector is far superior.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] lexi250:
I don't think it will cut down glare as the screen film is just clear, you can't tell there is a screen film on except for the cut outs you see.

Why would they comment on your ultra crystal? To sell you what they have in store?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
Can you give a more in dept comparison? I have the real look, and think it's pretty good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
The reallook is pretty good, but the sgp ultra oleophobic has the same clarity with the added benefits of very noticable fingerprint resistance, a tiny tiny bit of added friction which is particularly nice with the s-pen, it seems that the screen is possibly more receptive to touch, and there is zero rainbow effect.

Basically what pushed me to try it out was the fingerprints, and the difference in that alone was worth it to me, and those other factors are really minor benefits, but cumulatively make the product superior for my needs.

Probably not worth upgrading if you dont mind the fingerprints so much.

I do feel that the sgp protector is considerably less thick and would provide less protection in a drop. Guess it probably depends on what is more important to each person, but I do believe that the SGP protector strikes a much better balance all around.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
Thanks for the honest comparison. I agree that the reallook is a fingerprint magnet. But if it offers more protection like you say, then it maybe worth it for me. I ordered the Zagg as well, which some guys said offered the best protection. I just mainly don't want any scratches

Hi All,

I have flashed EUViewPad 7 based on Stock rom. installed SD Card Booster, CPU Master and etc.

The flash is fine since I managed to boot it and install several apps.

Until I needed to reboot the device since the hacker keyboard always forces to close. I rebooted it and poof I am in infinite boot animation without a way to remove the battery. afraid to fiddle just waited the battery to drain so I can test again(This happened on my O1. just removed the battery, put it back and its ok)

I have drained the battery after almost 8 hours of non stop boot animation. But this device won't turn on anymore. It just vibrates when I press the on button.

Tried opening the back(crap I have scratched the back covering. now it has large scratches :( ) but the battery is taped :(. My question folks is what is the possible solution to my problem aside from removing the battery(can't even get to clockword recovery)

Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Not too sure about your device, but doesn't yours have a reset button like the viewpad?

Should be a small hole on the bottom edge right next to the microphone.

Try pressing that with a paperclip if you're having boot problems.

Anyway, if you've drained the battery completely, make sure to leave it charging for a little while. Too low battery voltage will make it unable to start. 15 mins or so should be more then enough.

Try starting with both volume buttons + power pressed. Keep holding it until you see "entering recovery mode."

Let me know if this gives any results.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] silencer07:
Ahh I have that reset button beside the microphone hole. Will try this later on. Thanks for your help and for your custom rom
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] silencer07:
Uh oh... Tried pressing the small hall beside microphone, pressed on button. No luck. tried pressing that hole and on at the same time No luck again.

Is it possible that it will mess up the whole boot process due to boot animation loop??
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I'm afraid and it sounded like, from your descriptions, that the boot process has been messed up .... so, what do you got to lose by trying to "wake" it up or at least respond to commands, right ?

Try holding the power button & use a small pin to press RESET - leave it connected to the power supply/charging unit.

Try holding both volume Up & Down key & use a small pin to press RESET

Try holding both volume Up & Down key along with the Power button at the same time, and press RESET (you might want to get someone to help you to this)

Try holding the volume Down (left) key & Power button, and press RESET with a small pin.

Does any of these work in getting the screen to show life, be patient as you might have to hold it for 10 to 30 seconds before it cycle & restart/display the 3 birds ...

Chances are you will need to flash a stock ROM with the SULT3 utility, and then if successful, root it again & start over (carefully) - it might work or it might not even connect via usb at all .... worth a try, got nothing to lose at this point.

As a last resort, contact Cherry Mobile and get it repaired & sending it back to the shop .... check the warranty details in your locale, opening the rear case & exposing the battery, might or might not void your warranty coverage.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] silencer07:
Hi Letiride,

I have tried the combinations you have specified but no avail. I can't boot this so my PC with correct drivers cannot even recognize i plugged this.

Is my Tablet already bricked?? I have bought this second hand so no warranty already.

Huhuhu Did I already have one of the "Vibrator" Android phone :(
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Oh mine, no - if it won't power up or boot into Recovery or FTM mode, I'm afraid it's critical if not officially certified "paperweight". Try uninstalling your PC's usb drivers for the device, or use another computer & install SUTL3 utility from Viewsonic, and see if it can at least beep & signal some USB sequence loading the drivers.

Here's a link to Droid Explorer posted elsewhere in XDA (instead of pointing you to "Search" for it) Install it if you can get the yours powered on, but use it with care as it's a very "powerful" tool to explore all the hidden workings of the Android device(s).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558108

My feeling is that the core image & boot file(s) were corrupted, damaged & overwritten, and it need to be reformatted & reflashed from a stock *.nb0 file, someone with adb might be able to - maybe, just maybe - rescue it.

Let's see if one of our fellow developers might have a better solution on where to begin b/c this is about as far as I can offer - well, you can always put on eBay for parts & hoped you didn't spend a lot as 2nd. hand.

[General Topics] Kailkti:
Well, what do you guys think of his implementation? Do you think it is the true sixth sense? In the sense that this implementation still requires us to use a practical surface. Or do you believe sixth sense should be used for say holograms? E.g. Ionized particles/air of some sort that generate some sort of solidity, which provide the surface. However this sixth sense still lacks the features of the sixth sense concept. E.g. Saving of a paper into a file.

Also do you think this could replace our smart phones? Power, Speed, seems to pose no problem in production of a "sixth sense" mobile device. But what i am concerned with is due to the object more than likely being in a compact form (think tic tac container I guess) would this be unsuitable for the amount of heat to be generated from "high end sixth sense devices".

Personally I love the idea of sixth sense, and I wouldn't mind at all, it replacing smart phones or computers to a certain extent. It brings mobility of technology to a whole new level.

On a side note, love how the guy graduated from Carnegie Mellon, all the more reason for me to apply there this year. xD
[General Topics] upichie:
I'm definitely looking forward to the future of this—as it definitely does seem like the future. But as it stands, it's ugly and impractical. But I guess that's how prototypes are. :p
[General Topics] Kailkti:
Do you mean the device he is using or simply his implementation? If device then yes I agree, i don't want a kinect on my shoulder to use sixth sense. xD But as he said it is a prototype and he is aiming for a more compact device like a necklace he said. More than likely I think he is referring to an amulet for the necklace though. Like as I said with a tic tac container size, or maybe a bit smaller. His implementation seems more or less on track though. Just some added functionality to the device and it'll probably be more or less in tune with the concept.

On a side note, wonder how development of holograms is coming along, I don't hear/read anything of it. Is it just an unpopular field in comparison to AI robots per say?
[General Topics] upichie:
That's true, I don't hear much about holograms either. I chalked that up to them not effectually existing, but I could very well be wrong about that.

And yes, I was referring to the implementation. The concept, the idea... it's awesome, in my opinion. To see such a thing on a necklace as an amulet/pendant, or built into sunglasses, or anywhere that's compact—that would be worthwhile.
[General Topics] Kailkti:
Lawl maybe I should go into engineering instead of computer science to engineer some holograms. xD

Too bad I left physics two years ago though, so no chance.
[General Topics] upichie:
Holograms would be the icing on the cake! With this, we can virtually interact with any surface. But realistically, we want to interact with virtual surfaces instead. :D
