Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch :( . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
Does Zagg still have the orange peel look?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] endine:
Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PowerMan572:
I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
Check ebay. It's cheaper and free shipping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I use my s-pen. A lot. Glad they don't base their product manufacturing decisions around your personal preferences. Indespensibe for fine- photo editing, PDF annotation, mobile signatures and the list goes on and on.

Damn that stylus kills the device! Oh well, not everyone listens to Steve.

You sound like an undercover iSheep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.

and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crashmw:
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...

I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

-MW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I'll never do the orange peel again.

I was 1 click away from ordering that. I ended up with the SGP because I didn't know which was better. I haven't done screen protector shopping in a while. Is the Rearth better than

SGP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PowerMan572:
I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.

bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jstuart83:
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PowerMan572:
LoL far from it. Too bad you didn't know me. I get into heated discussions with fan boys cause they're to busy following their cult to realize Android is better. I won't even date someone if they use Apple products ;-)

I just really don't see the need for the pen. Used it to take a screenshot and that's it. The pen will now stay tucked away in its hole until my next Android phone B-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
It took a while, but that feeling went away on my Evo 4G.

But Zagg is still one of my least favorite wet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Why do people still buy Zagg? :|

If you can tell there's a screen protector on your screen, that's not good.

Look up the SGP ones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
+1

They have a lot of reach now. They're mainstream and people see it often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
Forgive me for being ignorant on the subject. My search results for SGP screen protectors comes up with a result of SPIGEN SGP. Is

THIS

the same product you are referring to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spiritcrusher33:
Yup, they just changed their name. but its the same company..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
Didn't you say you got the SGP Crystal version? Amazon Prime doesn't have the oleophobic and I'm not paying shipping. I don't know much about difference but I'm trying this one on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
ATT carries the I717 version on the website. I currently have the back on only, really don't want to put a case on this beast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ahmarchi:
I have invisible shield on front and back...it is phenomenal...perfect fit...had some bubbles first days now all gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
That's what I have but I haven't installed the back part, just the screen. Not sure if it's worth putting it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] A Dustman:
I bought a ZAGG for my old HTC Hero, and it was the worst screen protector I've ever seen. After only a month or two, I got some really noticeable vertical scratches, and horrible glare. I was also very thick, it had a noticeable edge, and it was very rubbery, my fingers did not slide well at all on that thing. Never again will I buy a ZAGG.

Just updated my DBT Note via Kies (in the US). Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carlitos66:
Updated in US via Kies, no problems. I don't see that anything major changed. Anybody see something?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
In Aus, downloading the latest Kies... then the Phone update should show.. as I too have a DBT German model.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
Took two tries...failed 1st one, nice lump in throat!

Passed 2nd time. MAYBE someone can get this one to root easily ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
anyone know what it does?

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

Update done and seems a bit snappier, but that could be confirmation bias :-P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rodjordan:
Updated from la4 via mobile odin. All went fine. Kept root as expected. Snappy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Who are having device rooted n wants to keep Root intact, shouldn't update it using KIES/OTA, you will lose Root. N again have to downgrade to get Root access.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I have faith that some genius will figure out a way to root it ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Instead of relying on some Einstein to arise, you could have used keeproot from supercurio in the market.....Or just spend some pennies on mobile odin pro...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
heh, I'm not really fussed.

I will only need root when I decide ICS is stable enough to use and then I'll downgrade first and apply root if I have to.

BTW I have bough Mobile Odin Pro. I just haven't used it since I lost root on my last update.

I don't really miss root anyway...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] j_tag:
new update via KIES

OK got the new update via kies, OTA didnt work for me..

live in finland and had the stock german la4 (dbt) installed.

Now on LB1

no major changes in this version in my opinion..

got somekind of freeapp website preinstalled.. useless

maybe a little faster, the gallery for sure is loading alot faster for me

also contact list scrolling seems faster and doesnt lag

benchmark showed a average of 4000 same as on LA4

browser is also faster and doesnt lag on pages as it has done on la4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Is it available for download and update via computer based odin as i dont wanna root am on xeu unlocked uk version white note and updated to la4 via kies as samsung cant be bothered pushing out to uk. ...

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ziplomatic:
Wondering when will UK(xeu) get an update :rolleyes:

Been long since LAST YEAR November :mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Update to last via Odin see sammobile website
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venki5star:
Is it a WIPE ROM?

Got the answer - It's NON-WIPE ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
any issues noted with LB1 ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venki5star:
So far no issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Grr_Badger:
Any one had any luck through kies or OTA with an XEU Note yet. I'm getting nothing, in the UK
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Updated uk xeu through odin. . Speed difference is mega cant work out what else is different but speed is good :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
THAT was the mistake I made with the LA4 update...updating via KIES.

I've got too much time right now invested in having to wipe, go down, update, reinstall, tweak...

Unless someone figures out a way to do it without all that, I'll just live without it

a while longer. I'm sure the update to ICS will be a wipe rom, and even if it isn't,

when I go from one version rom to another, I feel it is better to just WIPE everything, update, then WIPE again...just to make sure all of the old OS is gone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
It's definitely faster. Don't seem to be too many obvious differences from LA4 besides the speed improvement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dajumper:
i notice that when i uses 3x4 keypad and type letters that it jumps direct;y to the second letter example when you will write the c that it jumps directly to the next letter and i have then only letter b.

with this i have not that problem anymore. hope you understand a little :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
Is it possible to upgrade to this on unrooted kka xeu UK? Not really interested in root.

In other words do you have to be rooted to use pc odin? Or can my unrooted stock make the upgrade ok?

Getting force closes on google maps with this! Anyone else got same problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
You don't need root to flash a stock ROM using odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JazonX:
Can anyone confirm the following ?

* Is the Keyboard Lag gone for good, or is it still there ?

* Android OS battery Drain, Still present ?

* Black Shades in Video Playback ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
You don't have to be rooted. You can flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. It's a non-wipe ROM, so you won't lose data, but you may end up with a CSC code mismatch, which would prevent future OTA/Kies firmware updates unless you change the CSC code after you flash the new firmware. Changing the CSC code will factory reset your device.

You don't have to change the CSC code - you can always just flash new stock firmwares as they become available here or at sammobiles.com.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
after updating the firnware note isnt powering up ! :(

last display was the Samsung logo flashing for 4-5 minutes then phone turned off.

Now waiting till tommorow to get it to Saturn for a replace/fix after calling Samsung Service center this was the sollution, he said it is from the last firmware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] be_vigilant:
No working fine here. I extracted the LB1 and made a CWM flashable zip with all the samsung garbage removed. Flashed over my LA4 and everything is fine.

Not noticed any differences.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dajumper:
to bad that you cen not send right or left hand typing in 3x4 keypad :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
thanks for your reply, I'm downloading the update now and will flash soon.

if for example I ever wanted to go back to ota/kies updates (for example, when ics comes with xeu), could I just flash an older xeu csc rom and get all the updates OTA because my handset is xeu?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
Yes - you could do that. You can flash any stock firmware using PC Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
Flashed trouble free.

Much snappier than KKA, and a cakewalk considering I wasn't interested in rooting my device.

essentially just plug in and press go. I was definitely being over-wary by holding off on flashing the device while waiting on an OTA update for XEU. Thanks for everyone's help in this thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] airwater9:
I have about 70MB more free RAM since the update making for 265MB free. Not exactly perfect but more useful for multitasking. Apps or TW were closing automatically too often before - a real pain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
p51,

You must be currently rooted? Are you going to update to LB1? dwboston says it looks good. I believe we all have DBT IV GNotes.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

dwboston,

Still running well? Do you recommend this update? I am still on LA4 and it is fine but looking at the comments, this looks like a good update.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
Still running fine. The device is definitely faster and more responsive. So far it's much better than the LA4 ROM for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
Gracias! Will update it later tonight.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Some changes that i 've noticed.

Not sure if these where in LA4 as well, but here it goes.

1) Pressing and holding on text (not links with text) in stock web browser brings up a square magnifying glass.

2) Lower right corner is much more responsive ( i remember reading a thread where few people complained about it )

3) Don't know how to describe this, but with LA4, during scrolling in any direction using the stock browser, if you kept your hand still, you could notice that it wasn't recognized properly and you could see the page moving (few pixels at a time). Well, thats gone too.

4) Checkerboards in browser are close to zero, even without having the page fully loaded.

If i notice anything else, will edit my post accordingly. Cheers :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
I was rooted prior to LA4, but after I screwed up and updated to LA4 via KIES, the root was gone. Since I lost root, I just went ahead and updated to LB1. No big deal that I lost root...I can live without it until ICS comes out. I just don't want to screw around with downgrading (wipe), root, upgrading, and setting everything back up & installing everything. With my luck I'll get that done, and ICS will hit in another week or two LOL. If I was 10 years younger and could stay up til 1-2 am, and still be ready for work at 7am the next morning, I'd screw with it, but anymore, anything past 11pm is too late to

mess with. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
This one was present in KKA and possibly even before that. Not new.

I'm unsure what's new in this over and above la4, as I never had it, and there's plenty of new stuff for me coming from kka. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] planoman:
updated tonight via Kies. Super simple and I really like this version! It is as many have said very zippy! I thought LA4 was snappy but this really takes things to a new level!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
Btw the ota update is out
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrpiggae:
I've noticed that, in addition to all around better snappiness, the phone now wakes in an instant. Before LB1 my Note would take a second to wake from sleep, now it's very quick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Koguchi9:
Hey guys just a quick question. My n7000 is on baseband xxkk5 with kernel/build xxkka. Am I able to just flash straight to LB1 through odin on my pc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sitanshu91:
is lB1 update out in india ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexingt0n:
Yes, you can flash LB1 on your phone, but you have to download the STOCK ROM if you want to flash with odin on your PC. Be sure tha it a stock rom. Search for it, it's not hard to find. DO NOT flash custom firmware with odin on pc for any reason or you will activate the yellow triangle and the counters!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Koguchi9:
Sweet thanks! I dl the rom from the first page of this thread, so I should be good to go =]

***Oops I meant the first page of the stock roms thread in development....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] runaway64:
Indeed, the browser is even better now, it has an overall feeling of polishness, not huge, but noticeable.

The multimedia Gallery loads faster and moves around images a lot faster.

What I have noticed most is the battery improvement. I had 75% battery after 10 hours, with 1 hour of screen on.

Deep Sleep had kicked in faster and helped achieve that.

I come from the chinese 9220 rom, so I made wipe and flashed through mobile odin keeping root :-)

Also fast in benchmarks, 1600 in javascript 0.9.1, 981 in Vellamo, 3790 in Quadrant (latest version).

I will stick with this rom until something truly stable and polished in ICS appears. With this level of quality, I do not mind waiting another month for ICS!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
Yep that's exactly what I did. Job done :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skiddledank:
Yes, this problem is gone for me as well. I had it and had mentioned it in the thread ye speak of. Glad to see it was a software issue and not a "I need a new screen" issue.

Everything is snappier for me With the LB1 with the exception of sliding over the home screens, ever since updating to 2.3.6 when I slide the screens they jerk to a stop. I'm pretty sure it was the Gingerbread update now and not the ROM as with this new one there is no change in that regard. Since I had done both updates (GB update and LA4) back to back I couldn't tell which one was causing it. I'm wondering now as I write this if it might have something to do with using all the available screens (7) I did max out the HS windows after the updates and am wondering now if that is the problem. I'll have to reduce them and see if it makes any difference. Only thing is I don't remember is how many are loaded stock but will delete a screen at a ime seeing if it makes a difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Koguchi9:
Done and dusted no probs. Initially couldn't connect to Odin with only the Samsung drivers installed but installing kies fixed that. However I'm still seeing some checker plating especially from this site. Everything else is about the, roughly same quadrant scores 3800-3900. The "slide to unlock" notice on lock screen is a bit noob though ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I'm updating right now via KIES. It came up over OTA but I don't like how an update is either 700 megs or 15 megs. Hmm... I just feel like updating via KIES will give me the whole OS completely reloaded or something! :D

I was just thinking about it today: I don't mind waiting for ICS. This phone does EVERYTHING I could ever need (in a phone ;) haha)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I must say that the device is much much snappier. I have noticed very little lag in the past 20 minutes of using it. Fantastic update. couldn't be happier

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BigStuart:
I updated to LB1 via Mobile ODIN, and it's working well, but I can't open the Android Market... Instant FC... anyone else getting this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] runaway64:
I had that problem too. Went to Settings/apps/All Looked for market, deleted app data, opened market again, accepted the terms and conditions and problem gone.

-your apps won't go anywhere, is just a way to reset the market app-.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BigStuart:
I tried that and it didn't work... I'll try doing it again...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BigStuart:
That was very strange. I deleted app data again, still didn't work, so I selected the option to remove updates, and that completely removed the market!

Thankfully I have titanium backup, so I restored the app+ data from there, rebooted, and it's working now!

Titanium backup is the nuts!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gustavderglueckliche:
didn't see anyone mentioning it yet, so here are my observations of LB1:

- pattern of "pattern unlock"-lockscreen is now bigger (compared to LA4), as it was with with KKx-ROMs.

- Media-Volume gives a warning at high volume levels (only visible with connected speaker/earpieces)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crusty210:
Hey guys I've never used mobile Odin before. Where exactly are the downloaded Samsung firmware files stored on the phone? I got these files directly on my phone via Samsung official updates but wanted to use mobile Odin so that I don't lose my root. Can someone give a few instructions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Before LA4(DBT) i was on KK5(EUR). Out of the box you had 7 home-screens, 3 of them empty if i remember correctly. Even with 7 home screens though, KK5 wasn't unresponsive at all but wifi drained the battery in 6-7 hours (that was the issue that made me upgrade to LA4). Based on that, it was clearly a software issue LA4 introduced. Number of home-screens didn't matter at all, i tried it myself.

This release is close to perfect. I couldn't have asked more from my Note :)

The only drawback to those quality releases is that not everyone is getting them. You either need to have a German CSC, or search your way through the forums and update manually either by flashing DBT CSC and updating via KIES, or ODIN. Even though it is easy to get the update, anyone new to android wouldn't risk bricking this 700 euro phone, unless money is not an issue.

Hi there. If you already updated to LB1, you won't be able to root directly. You need to flash a directly root-able ROM listed on the sticky at the development section of the forum, then upgrade to LB1 via mobile odin. You will find instructions there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
Is everyone's facebook app working ok on LB1? Mines playing up since the flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Mine is working correctly. If a re-install doesn't fix your issue, you can always use the browser :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] newg:
I've reinstalled and the problem persists. I'd really rather not give up and start using the browser. I much prefer the app. I have no idea what's causing the problem. I can't bring up any feeds, and logging in after reinstalling took over 30 attempts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madbird:
