[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bud.de:
I bought the cheapest screen protector I could get at my local store.

In my opinion, the performance of the S-Pen is better than before.

For those people without screen protectors:

I have no disadvantages.

4 € to ensure not having any permanent scratches is a good price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
huh?

uh yeah they do. what do you think that sticker is that comes with the phone? samsung are just one of the few companies that i know of that are silly enough to pollute the damn thing with advertising. i mean seriously, we bought the phone already, therefore we already know it has dual core 1.4ghz with a samoled screen, no need to waste a perfectly good screen protector >.>

I always use a screen protector in all my touch screen phones because if I see a scratch I will have a heart attack . I remember in the past in some of the phones like my MIO digiwalker the screen protectors were included in the original pack.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
:p:p:p

The "screen protectors" that come on phones are most certainly not meant to be used as actual screen protectors. They are there so when the customer first opens the box, they get the full unboxing experience, pulling of the temporary screen cover to reveal a pristine, dust-free, fingerprint-free phone.

I've seen someone using that temporary screen cover as a screen protector before, and had a good laugh over how silly people can be. :rolleyes:

Manufacturers have begun printing on them to help people understand they are to be removed before use. They do this because they don't want people having a poor experience and blaming the manufacturer for a low quality screen, when it's the customers fault for leaving on the temporary cover. They are typically soft, low density material, with poor clarity, completely unsuitable for screen use, and frequently are imprecisely applied with bubbles.

I use Screen Protectors from my first SEP900 to my brand new Note. My calculation is simple, a Screen protector cost 5 to 20 Euro, a new display is at least 100+ Euro. Plus the Brando Ultra clear i prefer, improves the screen handling for my point of view.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbong777:
Never use em.. Worry more about the LCD UNDER the glass people are paying to "protect. I have dropped a set of keys on my SGS II screen for fun and scrape it with them. much to the cringing of my more anal retentive friends and no problems. Gorillia glass is extremely resistant to scratching.

I did not buy such a nice device to wrap it up in cases and screen protectors. Its not jewelry its a tool. Nothing is as slick as the stock screen. If I get $50 less for it when I sell it so be it.

I bought both mine and my wife's SGS II used and they had scratches here and there you REALLY REALLY have to look hard for. But saving $300 is worth it. IF I buy a Note it will be used as well and likely have some normal wear and tear.

When I sell a device I claim normal wear and tear. If a buyer starts asking about scratches I ask them to look elsewhere for perfection. Not worth the aggravation. I have a brother who is super anal about his cars. Its a disease. LOL

Thinking about buying a Note and using my i9100 for a back up....Reading these threads for rooting and Romming info and eventually finding one used (and even scratched) for less.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turshija:
I'm using Note for a month now, without any screen protectors and I don't have any scratches at all ...

I even tripped two times on usb cable, and pulled the phone from table so badly it fell on the floor 1-2 meters away (fail) and still no scratches :)

Before Note I've used HTC Desire, always with screen protectors, but I've decided not to put anything on Note because it has really good and idiot resistive screen :D

I've even tried to scratch it with fork to test if its really that good, lol :D

gorilla glass ftw :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newg:
I don't use a screen protector, I don't see the point.

I've just retired my HD2 after 2 years, and It's scratchfree, just from being kept in its leather slipcase at all times when not in use.

I've ordered a similar slipcase for the note, and I don't forsee any problems. It's tougher than the hd2.

Also, I think screen protectors (even the good ones) are hideous things. prone to bubbling at the edges, a pain in the ass to put on in the first place. And they make your phone look horrible.

Keeping it in the slipcase when not in use should be sufficient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrum:
The only good reason to get screen protector is to add some resistance to S Pen (otherwise it slides too easily). More resistance makes it feel more like writing on paper and is more comfortable (hand muscles are more relaxed).

On other hand, using screen with fingers is less comfortable, because of decreased sensitivity due to layer of extra plastic ie screen protector.

Question: does anyone know if there is a way to increase screen sensitivity of Galaxy Note?

I would want to increase it even without screen protector, I am used to iPhones super sensitive screen, Galaxy Note requires more pressure from fingers, it is worse experience. But more sensitivity would solve this.

At the same time it would solve screen protector issue, if sensitivity can be boosted by good amount.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddelong22:
I used the Note without a screen protector originally, but I have a generic universal anti-glare one that was big enough to cover the screen. I haven't noticed any hinderance from having the protector on it. Seems to be just fine. I actually prefer the look of the screen to. It's easier to view if you're outside or in a bright room. Only downside I've noticed to having an anti-glare one is that if it's dark, the colors look slightly scewed (such as seeing faint rainbow colors on white webpages and such). Overall, in my mind it's worth the extra protection in the long run. No matter how strong a screen claims to be, there's always a chance of something bad happening.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
The Note is going to be next to worthless in two years anyway so what's the point in preserving the screen?

Here's how I see it.Put a protector on when the phone is still new and you are paranoid about it.Once the new phone feeling has worn off,take it off and enjoy the phone to it's fullest potential.

You are not going to see micro scratches when the phone is in use anyway.If you happen to be so unlucky and get a deep scratch,you can replace the glass as I believe the glass is not glued to the amoled.

[General Questions and Answers] nrohan:
Hello

I''m trying to update the firmware on my Galaxy S2 (or GT-i9100) phone through Kies 2.1.1 on Windows 7 32-bit. It finds the update available for the device and shows windows to update firmware.

The new/latest update version available is PDA-KL1/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU) (2.3.6?)

After clicking to update, it downloads the update and goes into next step of "Preparing firmware update components", but then the process terminates after few seconds and nothing happens. The phone reconnects to kies s/w and again the firmware upgrade window is shown.

So cannot update the firmware.

Can anybody help!

Also, I cannot update through wifi in phone. 'check for update' always says "Connection Failed".

In trying in India.

Thanks

[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Ask a mod to move your question into Q&A. ;)

And to your question, if you unlock your bootloader and push a kernel using adb you'll have a recovery installed, use it to take a backup.

If you only want to have a rooted device with locked bootloader, install CWM recovery for locked BL's and take a backup there.
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
Easiest way is backup your phone framework-res, and SettingsUI apks.

Flash theme and if you don't like theme, then manually overwrite with earlier backups files over new themed framework-res.apk and SettingsUI.apk.

You can do this over adb, fastboot, or I recommend you "android commander"

No need then mess up with Full rom backup.

[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Of course your described method is efficienter, but I think for newbies a backup with CWM is a lot easier. ;)

True. But then he knows....he had "backup solution' if something fails....

i just saw this thread on the "latest" tab , just do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery , if you dont have recovery then head to the market and download rom manager , andd i apologize but i cannot see what device this thread is under (i am on from xda app) but ask if your phone is supported , or when you click flash recovery it might say your phones name or code name

We've to install it using ADB and by the way I think the problem is solved either way.

If your device has locked bootloader. Still you can flash your own firmware without userdata partition. Then root device again

STOCK is for stock roms and CUSTOM is for custom roms like cyanogen7 or MIUI.

Doesn't work on Razr

Just rooted my razr on 6.12.173 and this doesn't seem to work.

Told SU to grant access first time I shook the phone, and now, after a shake, it pops the little message up that su granted access, waits a couple seconds, then launches a "this page cannot be displayed" (as in a webpage you can't go to) that takes up the top half of the screen. Bottom half is black.

Running on a stock ROM, with root.

-- UPDATE --

Some more info from the web browser. From what I can tell, you're trying to save a PNG, and then open it with the browser to zoom it. The error I'm getting is:

The web page at: file:///data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png could not be loaded as:

The requested file was not found. /data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png (No such file or directory).

I think it should be just '/data' rather than '/data/data', but I tried saving a png to both '/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png' AND '/data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png' and still got the "file not found" error.

Please let me know if I can help anymore with troubleshooting as I'd love to see this app work! Also, the shake has to be pretty violent for it to pick up; perhaps some other launch gesture as an option also?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xnova89:
Hey guys, I have trouble going into the message screen on my touch pro. Every other part of the phone works fine. But if I touch the screen to access the message section, it wont respond. Or if I touch the all messages area of the screen, it will light up but the screen wont switch over. pretty much every other part of the phone works except accessing the message/sms part. i still can receive incoming texts but i have no way of replying it!

I have tried soft reset and it would not help either.

This problem appeared out of nowhere.

my touch pro is unlocked, ROM version is 5.05.401.1 WWE, using windows mobile 6.1
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
From your report, it sounds like something in the software is crashing. I had something similar and the only way I could figure was to re-flash it (involves losing everything loaded on your phone, without a backup) with the ROM I wanted. There may be another way but for the lack of experience with a stock ROM and your specific situation, it is difficult to help you troubleshoot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xnova89:
should I go for a hard reset?

or should I reinstall a new ROM? if this is the case, can you kindly tell me how to do it?

all my contacts are saved on my sim card so im not too worried about losing those infos.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything to try the hard reset first. Also, if there was anything added/installed and wasn't a part of the stock ROM, it is likely you will lose it such as programs, games, etc. Let me know if you'd like to try your hand at flashing a custom ROM, if the hard reset doesn't work.

If you aren't comfortable with either of these, it might help to give it a few days to see if anyone else chimes in...
[Legend General] ages_devil:
hi,

my legend had a problem with its screen i changed both the lcd and the digitizer but since then the pc doesn't recognize it, it only charge via the pc

is there any solution?
[Legend General] Stevemotto:
You must give more details (is your phone rooted?)

The screen shouldn't have anything to do with USB Mass storage. Like you, I've had this problem but only because I have rooted my phone and it was easily fixed by reflashing the rom via recovery mode. However make sure you've tried all the simple solutions (checking the "USB debugging" box) before reflashing your current or new rom.
[Legend General] ages_devil:
it is rooted, and i tries more than one rom (cm7 and newsense) both nothing, the legend itself don't show anything in the notification area like before, it just charge, i tried running usb tether but it says that the usb is not connected
[Legend General] Stevemotto:
Okay, so if you have already tried reflashing (and it didn't work) then I have no idea what to do (method worked for me). The USB cord may be faulty or the USB is bricked (there is guide to unbricking USB on HTC legend around this forum, have a look). Best advice I can offer is to unrooted your phone and give it back for warranty (but only do this if all hope is lost).

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robbo89:
I'm currently using the latest MiniCM7 on my X10 mini.

The one app I'm really missing is the official Natwest App. It doesn't appear in the market on my phone and if I look it up on the android market on my computer then I am told it is incompatible. I'm just curious as to whether people on other ROMS are able to download it? Maybe I could modify something to make it compatible.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Apparently a lot of people have had similar problems, trying to run a UK banking app on anything other than a stock ROM.

I had a quick Google hunt about this and quite a few people suggest using the app, Bank Control, which apparently works with Natwest as well as some other banks. Some have talked about editing the phone's build.prop as well.

Not much help, I know, but hopefully this may be useful to you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robbo89:
I've been reluctant to try Bank Control as its not officially supported by Natwest. I've finally given it a go and now can't register with it for some reason.

I'm interested in modifying the build.prop. People seem to have had success on other phones by editing the ro.build.fingerprint. Could somebody post that line from a stock X10 mini so I could give it a go? Or could I use the ro.build.fingerprint from a different phone without it affecting anything?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Well, I could..but it might be easier if I just gave you the whole thing and you can pick the bits you need..

I've had to zip it because .prop files can't be attached here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robbo89:
Worked like an absolute charm, thanks a lot!

In case anyone searches for this I changed the ro.build.fingerprint line to

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/U20i_1238-7173/U20i/delta:2.1-update1/2.1.1.A.0.6/-X_d:user/release-keys

Hi all,

The only thing I miss since I moved away from Nexus S is morfics fantastic Trinity kernel. With all the respect to all devs already here (like franciscofranco & ogdobber) and their great kernels I think we should get some funds for morfic to get Galaxy Nexus.

I am in no way affiliated with morfic (except I like his kernel a lot) and didn't discuss this with him in any way, yet.

Paypal: morfic@gmail.com for GN

I had to put this quote in OP, just too funny not to:

Do not ask for any features in this thread!

All that want to get involved and donated some funds post in this thread and I will list you.

Also if you want to stay anonymous please PM me or morfic amount and PayPal transaction number. I would like to keep this thread as transparent as possible.

Please spread the word and do the best thing for your Galaxy Nexus in 2012. (http://youtu.be/P34Msrjn5oA)! :D

Disclaimer (as usual in 'smallprint'): Donating doesn't mean you'll get a kernel at all or any special bonus and it will not turn your GN into a Nexus from another Galaxy.
