hi,

I'm about to buy a screen protector for my note, but i can't decide which one to get.

i found so many types of the sgp(ultra optics, ultra fine...etc)

my budget is $20 so which one should i get ? i want something with anti-glare and scratch resistant
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gedster314:
Don't like the soft type films like Zagg. Don't like the added friction on finger drags (very slight). I especially can't stand the zagg film as a body protector. Seems to collect lint and eventually starts to peel off. I have also tried Bestskins Ever which are the same type and they seem to had an emulsifier issue, finger nail dents were really slow to fill in and after a while I had some bubbles but not air but emulsifier.

I like the SGP type films better more rigid and very smooth after the the first day. And they go on dry. They tend to show finger oils more and can get scratched. Avoid their matte finish, I thought it was horrible and the finger print phobic one eventually becomes philic. The SGP protector that I had on me HTC Incredible was the best cut protector I have ever had. The one for my EVO was not cut as well but still fit well. I still think they have some of the best screen protectors out there but I do think they are over priced. I have a tough time justifying a cost over $10 for a screen protector.

I currently am using Boxwave's screen protector on my Epic 4G Touch. I like that a can remove it with scotch tape, rinse it and reuse it. Fit is ok but it is a finger oil magnet. At $5.95 I think it's a good deal. I just ordered the matte and clear one for my yet to arrive Note. I will post how feel about them once I get my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ages_devil:
i was about to order the sgp capsule case, it comes with an ultra crystal screen protector which will make it cheaper than getting only a screen protector($25 for the case + protector vs $15 for only 2 screen protectors)

The only good screen protector i tried is the one that came with the iskin vibes case for my ipod touch, about two years now and it's still very good.

As for the Boxwave, I can only find this one for the note, it's cheap so i might order the capsule case and the boxwave screen protector, this way i'll have some extra screen protectors if the one with the case wasn't good, i just want to get something fast because the screen got scratched and the camera is exposed with no protection whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Note_E:
Sgp blows. Go with them of you want to risk being shipped the wrong product, enjoy shoddy customer service that does not respond when you have an issue, like $15 screen protectors that last a month, and/or you like when businesses charge you prior to shipping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] laloi:
Keep your money, screen protectors are useless with gorilla glass screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ages_devil:
gorilla glass got scratched, so i need a screen protector

as for the case the sgp case i don't know of any alternative within the same price range
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dissaor:
so you do recommend to leave as it is instead of putting something to protect it? im sorry im new at this gorilla glass thing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ages_devil:
it got scratched(even if the scratch is too small and hardly visible) ... that's why i need a screen protector to prevent anymore scratched whatever it's type is now(spigen or any other brand) imo would be better than leaving the screen exposed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dissaor:
Oh man im sorry, im between a Zagg or this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/11078636959...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_7863wt_884

there is a local Zagg near so ill see if they have the note one available and if they install it....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DJsCrIBbLe:
Can't base a whole business and its product after your experience. Order a protecter and the next day ask about shipment and was emailed back in les than a few hours with tracking etc...

Maybe because you tried ordering a product not yet for sale?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] firemedic1343:
Tell that to the guys who go to the beach a lot. One spec of sand on your finger can do some serious damage. Depending on where you live or work, a screen protector can save your phone from damage to the screen.

I'd go with anything other than Zagg. Don't like them at all, I can't do the orange peel again and the sticky feel. I have SGP on my Note, I like it enough to recommend it. It's very clear, does the job nicely.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ages_devil:
i guess this one would be better as it has 2 protectors not one.

if you want a case there are so many options now and after reading a lot i found that users opinions differs even for the same case ... in my opinion, until the case mate tough case is realeased there are these options:

1- SGP Samsung Galaxy Note Case Ultra Capsule : mixed reviews but overall good case and it come with a good screen protector

2- Capdase Alumor Jacket Elli : can't find enough reviews but it looks thick and has good protection

3- Momax iCase Pro : i dunno why i like it, but i do

4- NILLKIN TPU CASE : cheap and good one reviews are on the positive side too

5- Speck CandyShell Case: expensive but very good and the closest one to the case mate tough case, very good materials and protection

if i remember correctly i think that i have had the zagg invisible body shield for my ipod touch when i bought it and it was not good, it collected dust on its edges, so maybe it won't be a good idea (plus after checking the prices it's more expensive than anything else)

EDIT: i changed the title to fit the post changes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dorkboy69:
I have the SGP Crystal and it is superb. I use to use ZAGG but do not like the rubbery feel.

For those that think a screen protector does not help look at the pictures below. I dropped my Note on the corner of a steel filing cabinet drawer and the SGP protector did its job. Without a screen protector my screen would surely have been scratched.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dissaor:
Well to be fair, you would just have to dropp it again in the same way just to verify the screen would have been scratched (not that you should of course lol) but yeah no matter what material the screen has (i've heard is gorilla glass), i feel better if it has some extra protection and it wasnt a cheap smartphone..... so better safe than sorry, im glad the SGP did its job :D cheers

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Oh my 2 protectors i would definitely buy that one latter... i went ahead and bought the Zagg one i just could live with my note unprotected ... specially now that i have a dog Lol and i like it cause it have protections on the sides and stuff!! but i may just buy that one for my girlfriends note....

1.- I dont know there is something missing for this one

2.- this one is just ok.. .but expensive for "just ok"

3.- Lol i liked to... probably ill buy it

4.- I loved the blue one i want one

5.- This one is my favorite, i would love to buy it..... to bad they ship only to us :(

Thanks a lot man, :D and Have a great weekend

SGT Glass.t

I think I will go for the SPIGEN SGP GLAS t. Premium Tempered Glass Series Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 .

The only thing that I am concerned so far is if it works with the SZLF Aluminum bumper (IS a very very cool bumper).

It seems there is enough room to fit the screen 0.4mm thick. But is glass not plastic trash.

Any ideas ?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] dorkboy69:
I tried dropping it again but now it is glued to my hand for some reason..lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DJsCrIBbLe:
Got my ultra fine on today and so far in happy. For a matte its hardly as bad as everybody says. In white areas there is barely rainbow effect. They're site states none but there is a little. For 20 it came with w so im happy. Can't justify 40 bucks on 1 protector as much as that glas.t looks good...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dyspnea:
Hello, I got the Note 2 days ago and it is awesome! I ordered the invisibleshield and I am concerned how the spen would work. I read somewhere in the forum that it would leave scratches because material of the shield is soft and I guess it is so.. I am just looking for someone to confirm this. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] wangjaroni:
I was about to order one then I went to youtube and watched some videos for iPhone 4s installation.

Most if not all of them had huge, and i mean HUGE (like thumb print sized) areas where it did not adhere and they look like huge air bubbles (which in fact they are).

If it is that difficult to install on an iPhone 4s, then think of how hard it will be to install on our Notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dissaor:
Lol keep it like that :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Dyspnea:
Regarding to my previous post I got and installed the invisibleshield. The spen works fine, it doesn't leave marks on the shield. However fingerprints are more noticable than on the naked diaplay and there are two streaks on the inside part of the protector and I read that many people get them with IS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] missxtee:
I have the Spigen Glass.t screen protectelor ( glass screen protector) I've also used invisishield and ghost armor IMO I love the Spigen glass screen protector. I never realised how beautiful my GNotes screen is till I used Spigen SP. It doesn't ruin my SPen sensitivity as well and gives true colour of my screen. it feels super smooth on your fingers as well. only downside is that its about 40$! =[ but I feel that it was money well spent. check it out on eBay! I got it from this seller. great seller and fast shipping. =]

I had galaxy S2 before my Note and I didn't need a screen protector on it after 6 month of use not a single scratch but with my Note oh man it got little scuff marks (does not go away) after 1 day. The Note DEFINITELY needs a screen protector. anyone who disagrees either doesn't use their Note regularly or is SUPER careful....

I've tried every screen protector i can think of, invisible shield and a similar one from IPG. Tried numerous PET one but none compare to the GLASt. Many of the one i tried suffered from rainbow effect and the film like ones are horrible with the S-PEN. It leaves marks and I find it effects the accuracy of the pen. As for those who say you don't need one because it has Gorilla glass that is BS. I have two little just to say surface marks from not having a screen protector for a total of maybe five days. I spent 850 on my note so 40 bucks is nothing to protect it. Do yourself a favour and spend the money. As for application of the GLASt it went perfect. Tips: Run the shower someone suggested that to me and it works like a charm, clean the screen very well and I had a can of compressed air to blow it just before I installed it. My only complaint is that its a bit thick and it does recess the home button a bit for the international one, this wont be an issue with the North American version though.

Warm regards to the community here. I'm using Samsung & LG android devices past 2 years, with lots of custom roms and kernels; but have no experience dealing with Sony device. I am currently helping one of my friend to install Cyanogenmod on her Xperia mini pro sk17i, and help is required. I assure you, I won't have flooded the forum with a new thread if i'd found the answer. So hoping for a gentle guidance..

Here is what i did :

I followed the instructions given at Sony's website from step 1 to 12 : http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

- I checked that Bootloader unlock allowed is "Yes", and managed to get my unlock key from Sony.

- I downloaded and installed Android SDK manager, also downloaded Google USB driver package revision 4. Also, i managed to download the zip file from Sony and successfully copied & replaced the android_winusb.inf file in the instructed folder.

- Now, at the step 13 mentioned in the guideline, i'm really stuck. I turn of the phone, press & hold volume up while inserting the usb cable.... there appears small blue light at the top of the device. But, nothing else happens.

>> I mean, the instruction says that i should be asked to point the drivers by computers, but my computer asks for nothing. I'm running on windows7 x86, intel core i3.

Please guide me what is going wrong ?? .... however, i should mention that my computer does gives me a notification sound, kind of what usually happens when i attach anything in the usb port.... but, on the screen, it shows no any notification or no any pop up... just nothing at all. I tried the whole procedure on an another computer running windows7 x64, intel core i5, but still stuck at the same problem.

Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

Have you checked "unknown sources" and "usb debuging" on?You will found them both in settings>applications if i translate it right from my greek menu;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] officialreloaded:
Yes, of course both things are checked. To test the things, i also checked upon SEflashtools, and the device shows up there. However, if i command adb devices, it didn't show up on my second corei5 computer, but id did show up on my previous corei3 computer.

I tried out almost all i can do from my previous experiences of dealing with galaxy and optimus devices.. yet, this one is beating me. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
Use drivers and tools from this guide and post the results:) (also mount sdcard to MSC mode)

If link doesn't work download latest flashtool.On installation folder there is a folder named "drivers".Run the file inside.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mooside:
you have to manually install the driver of your android phone, go to the device manager on your computer, it should appear as S1 boot Fast boot in other devices, update the usb driver with the dowloaded diver android_win_usb.

your device shluld appear as android ADB Interface then you can proceed to step 14 which sadly :confused: where I got stuck too. I can't get a a response back from the said step:mad:. inform me if you have luck on the next steps...

That worked.

Hi,

I have my new Nokia Lumia 800

SIM unlocked but TIM branded (Italy)

I am in Bulgaria and the operator doesn't have auto settings for internet (for this model).

I am putting them manually as the people from the mobile operator said, also written in the website.

But there is no connection!

Just Wi-Fi...

Is it because of the TIM? I know there is no logic but...

Also from the mobile operator told me that there must be some setting in the Zune when I connect the device with the computer :confused:

Please help me, I realy need my mobile internet :mad:
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
Yes, that approach will not work.

Get your phone on wi-fi, got into the marketplace and open "Nokia Collection". Download "Network Setup". It will set your APN's for both data and mms. Hopefully it understands your carrier and can obtain the settings.

This worked for me, I had the same issue as my phone was set for Three in the UK but I am on o2.
[Nokia Lumia 800] svarog84:
I have TIM version too and it works with all operators here in Serbia. JUst download app suggested and it will work
[Nokia Lumia 800] newabv:
Thank you guys!

You are awesome.. just like the Lumia :D

Just one more.. what are the symbols for network (3G, EDGE etc.)

Now my phone have "H" next to the signal bars.
[Nokia Lumia 800] svarog84:
H is short from HDSPA. It is know as 3G+ on some Samsung models and it is the highest speeed you can get
[Nokia Lumia 800] newabv:
Thanks, I found what are the symbols meaning by the way...

Sorry for the stupid question ;)

So I am new to the Android Tablet world, but I love a clean organized looking device. HUBS seems to be a very popular route to go, and the look/customizability is awesome.

I was hoping someone that makes apps could develop this widget to make it easier to setup and restore after flashing new ROMs

If anyone has set this type of layout up, they know how tedious it is. Then if you want to flash a new ROM you get to basically start all over. On top of that many times the overlapped widgets don't play nice and you have to fix it everytime you switch from landscape to portrait and back...

I don't know how difficult an app like this would be, and if I had any clue on how to make it I would. But I figured I would put it out there and see if I can drum up some interest for it. I would pay for it obviously...
