The zagg hd (not the original, not the extreme)

The zagg hd is beautiful. Feels almost like there is no screen protector. In fact my sister told me I needed a screen protector..lol.. Then I had to show her I have one...

However... If you don't mind the old zagg feel and thickness... Get the Zagg extreme which is a bad ass screen protector... You can hit it with a hammer and it won't break!

But I'm still in love with how beautiful the Zagg HD is so I'm sticking with this.

Been on my phone 3months and still beautiful though I do clean it with glass cleaner and lens cloth at least once a week..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Have a couple sets of these one for car, work, home. Any time my screen needs a cleaning I spray the cloth and wipe.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TAY:
I'll look at them then, thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Youtube for zagg extreme check some of the videos.. This dude hit his sgs3 with a wrench very hard and didn't phase the phone till he used all his might...

The zagg extreme is killer protection.. Just not as beautiful.. In fact.. I think it's ugly and thick... But provides the best protection
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
I'm using the cheap ass protector that with my trident kraken, I did have a zagg protector on there (basic) and like all of them it started to dent and bubble. Ordered a replacement but tried the cheap one I mentioned first, and the cheap one that came with the case is a hell of a lot clearer believe it or not.

Only problem is its not a full screen protector but oh well. But to answer your question yes you do need a screen protector in my opinion, I use to have the evo 3d and when I had to replace it with another I went "naked" for a few days and sure enough I had a scratch on the screen (pockets). Don't buy into the gorilla glass hype.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Niczo:
Gorillaglass may not be easy to scratch with a steel utensil, but even the tiniest pebble can do a great deal of damage if it has a quartz composition. Screen protectors will never become obsolete, it's a sad fact but true nonetheless. That you have to spend tens of dollars on these sheets of plastic separately just to be able to handle your device with anything other than cotton gloves is a crime imo, and probably part of some marketing scheme.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pneumatic:
Why can't they make screens out of the same glass used for watches? I have worn the same Seiko watch for years and banged it on everything under the sun but it doesn't have a scratch on it (at least not on the face).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Next year...

^This!! I agree with you 100%..i insured mine with my home insurance. But i still have a screen protector, a Celly gel case, and i carry it in a leather belt case(horizonal) where it spends most of the time. Ive seen drop tests and it aint pretty most of the time. My Galaxy Ace i had before was dropped numerous times..and fine after wards. Its because the screen is so close to the edges..vibration and shock just destroys the screen. Like a window if you slam it closed hard enough..depending on how big and thick the glass is..this is how i see it. But most definately..insurance helps big time.

I'd give it till at least 2015 for this to be mass produced. Way too advanced for the market. But something nice to use tonight in or dreams ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hrbib21:
I've had 3 previous phones with Gorilla Glass and not one has a scratch, including my 3+ year old HTC Incredible. None have ever had a screen protector. The Kindle Fire I'm typing this on included. I'm pretty easy on my equipment so I choose not to use one. YMMV.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ndinadis:
I just bought the SGP GLAS, based on watching multiple youtube reviews of it and all the others I knew I wanted near full coverage (my current one does basically just the screen) I am also not a fan of the rubber feeling screen covers (zagg etc I have one on my ipad)

Has any one used it? How do you like it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] V@no:
Now try use keys or knife on regular house window glass, can you scratch it there? I bet you not.

Glass on phone though can get scratched by a grain of sand. I use bodyglove case and belt pouch, never ever placed phone face down or in a pocket and already have a little, barely visible scratch. My only explanation is that some dust got into the pouch, no other way it could possibly get it.

I'm tempting to buy ClearPlex but not sure if it's any good...nobody seems to use it...

Ha! funny that this was posted in a screen protection topic..very related...sure thing such display wont need any screen protections at all ;P And then people complain about screen protectors feel "plasticy", just wait, everything will not only feel, but be plasticy
[Galaxy S III Accessories] raikesy:
You definitely need a screen protector on pretty much every phone on sale today, IF you want to avoid getting scratches on the screen. Simple as that.

I am more than careful with my phones, and coming from the oh-so-fragile HTC One S (Black) I was enjoying a little more freedom with my SGS3. Unfortunately I dropped it (it's quite slippery!) in my house and it slid across my wooden floor face down. At the time it was dark and I didn't notice anything, after closer inspection in work the next day the screen was full of tiny, barely noticeable scratches. This doesn't bother me as none are deep enough to affect my experience, and after fitting my MagicScreen protector all the scratches are no longer visible. But the case in point is, the screen can easily be scratched by anything like stones\sand\anything tiny on your floor\in your pocket. The scratch tests with them rubbing a key across the screen are pretty pointless IMO.

I prefer to use a phone without a case/screen protector, but I also need to keep my phone for close to two years. I'm not taking any risks.

I see a lot of cracked iPhone screens. Doesn't the iPhone use Gorilla Glass? Maybe iPhone users are less prone to use a case?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpufreak3:
Does anyone know how to disable the ability to slide between keys on the keyboard in JB?

My tablet (transformer prime) on JB does not do this, and I find it annoying on my phone because as I go for another letter, the keyboard always thinks I hit the letter next to the one I intended.

Or does anyone know of any 3rd party keyboards that would achieve this (though I prefer to somehow disable stock). Thanks

It keeps on focus and unfocus for near objects.

I dont think this is the product's defect but it comes with the release.

How u guys solve it or minimize the problem?

Should I go to Sony centre and claim? Cause there will be enough proof and they probably cant answer about it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pixy132:
You're trying to focus on object closer than the minimum focus length.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stenlius:
That's called continuous focus and is active when you are on one focus point - if you change to multiple focus points - there will be no continuous focusing, it's your choice. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluefrog:
Hi, I think Pixy132 is right there - sounds like you're trying to focus on something closer than the camera can handle.

tbh the stock camera app is awful. I downloaded Camera FV-5 (paid app but cheap) recently and wouldn't go back to the stock one for all the tea in China.

The dev is good with communication too and I've already helped him iron a couple of bugs out with it ( I have NO affiliation )

The other good camera apps are UCam, lgcamera and Camera MX. All have a decent Macro focus mode that lets you get stuff like the one I've attached (cropped a little but not much!)

hth!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Theonlyzii:
Try using touch focus :D

It makes the camera focus faster
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zhuhang:
I see.

What about problems like slow focussing?

Once i press the camera button, It adjusts the focus and take the photo. But sometimes it can't focus properly before the photo was taken.

It happens with all of you right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Efe64:
^

Press the focus button first. When its focused, you can take a picture.

You can also use multi focus or touch focus.

There's another issue regarding your suggestion.

When the camera button is gently press (focus), it sometimes lock the focus too early that the image is still blur.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluefrog:
Yes

Forget the stock camera app - it's terrible (I'm a photographer and trying to grab snaps with the Xperia was driving me mad).

Any of the ones I listed in the previous post focus quicker and more accurately by far compared to the stock app. Image quality is better too. Seriously, change the app and start enjoying using it!

btw the pic I uploaded seems to have been "softened" by this site. It's much sharper than that!

I'm surprised the power saving mode isn't talked about much. I use to have the TF700 w. the dock and when I turn on the this mode it last almost as long as the 700 w. the dock attached. This is the way a power mode setting should be done bcuz there is virtually zero lag which doesn't make sense since the cpu is underclocked to 1ghz. No disrespect to Asus and the TF700, but their power saving mode is useless since everything becomes so laggy. I honestly want to find out how Samsung can achieve this bcuz I really see no point in it being clocked at 1.4ghz.

Pic of CPU clock at and battery life?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
lols u recharged it...

and use cpu spy to show ur cpu clock plz
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I can confirm. Putting note 10.1 in CPU power savings mode will limit the Max CPU to 1ghz. No lag either. No need for screenshots of CPU spy. Just put your note into power savings mode with CPU one ticked. Then open CPU spy. Reset the timer. Then refresh it. Now you will see your CPU maxes out at 1ghz.

I get great battery life in normal usage. But if I want stellar battery life and not near a charger, ill put it into power savings mode. I do the same thing with my Galaxy S3.

Web browsing, most games, and everything still work just fine on power savings mode. For even longer lasting battery use the screen low power level also. Amazing how well my tablet and phone performs on power savings. For the first time, my Note 10.1 and Galaxy S3, I feel no need or rush to root or anything. Both devices perform so well out the box.

I am back to CM9, trying out the official Weekly's, just had too many issues on the various CM10 ROM's to use as a daily for now. I appreciate all the tough work the dev's are doing on CM10 for the One X right now, and with their blood and sweat it will surely be bad ass, and perfect in time, but I need stability and battery life first, so CM9 it is for now. I know a Sense based ROM would give the best battery and stability, but YUCK, can't stand the look and feel Sense or any UI besides good ol vanilla Android :)

Which kernel would you recommend best for battery life on stock CM9 ? And what setting ? OnDemand or Interactive ?

Or is the stock kernel from the 0923 Weekly the best ?

Thank you

I just got on here to look for this very subject. I use s note for work. I heavily use the shape recognition and handwriting to text function. Ever since the recent software update, s note has been "crashing" just a minute or two into using the handwriting to text function. It starts by not converting text I have just written, then after I wait 20 seconds or so, everything I have written by hand all of a sudden gets converted to text and then it freezes. It won't let me erase, close, or anything. Sometimes I can't even get it to force close by going into the application settings and I have to restart the tablet. This is very frustrating seeing as how I use this at work constantly and this was a huge part of what drew me to the tablet
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Thorsten2605:
I also have this problem.

When I try to write something with handwriting to text it works until I have around 20 words written. Then the whole application hangs up and ends in the startscreen...

Does Samsung know the problem?

Edit:

Could it be that this is caused by rooting the device?!?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] xe0r:
I got also a lot of crashes in the s note app and my device isn't rooted. For everyday use at university I prefer lecture Notes to S-notes a lot more and on top there was not a single crash since I make use of it. I got my crashes when I wanted to make use of the 'Handwrite-to text'-function.

S Note Crashes - No fixes from Samsung - Call to Action

I have had two of the Galaxy Note 10.1 devices hoping that they would work. S Note has crashed exactly the same way on both. The device were bought at two different times, from two different store and in two different states. This situation and what I have read across several blogs leads me to beleive this is a wide spread flaw possibly across all the devices.

I have had Samsung customer and techincal support offer no explaination or a fix to the problem. The Samsung rep was able to replicate the problem on the device they had as well. Samsung has offered to repair the devices. This prompted me to return the first device immediately. I am still trying to decide if Samsung can actually fix this problem or do I return the second unit. I do want the Note to work with S Note, but I do not know if I should be trusting Samsung to fix the problem they are barely will to ackwoledge exist with this unit. Meaning if it is an overall design flaw with the hardware or software, if there really anything they can fix???

I am kind of hung up on S Note because it has features I would like to use that I can not find in other apps. It is the main reason I could justify the Note 10.1 for use in my business. However, I can not risk using it if it is going to crash.

When I call Samsung, they are stating that I am the only one having this issue. I do not know that I trust them. So let me ask, has anyone else called Samsung to get help with this issue? If so, please tell me what thye told you.

If you have not called Samsung, please do so.

If you have been able to "fix" S Note on the Galaxy Note 10.1, what did you do?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] loribuono:
I hadn't noticed this before, because I rarely use the handwriting recognition feature, but my first test produced the same result. However, I find that feature in S-Note to be pretty clunky, with the outlined text box and all. If you really want to do handwriting recognition in S-Note, try using the handwriting recognition feature of the keyboard instead. It works really well and has more configuration/settings to play with, to customize it to how you write. A quick test just now did not result in any crashing in S-Note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] jamsfowler:
Did you try it on a PDF imported into S Notes?

Also, how do you get the keyboard to come up while creating the text box?

Thanks for the help...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tablet_JF:
The most common headache I have with saving an s-note, is that it would say "failed to save". I recently figured out a trick to bypass this and make it save, instead of redoing your work, and hoping it goes through the second time. What i do in this event, is go to the menu in the top right, and selt the "set as" option and proceed with setting the current s-note page as my homescreen wallpaper. I then hit cancel on this process when it is in gallery cropping mode. It will usually save after i do that, without the headache of losing my progress. Hope this helps. My note tab is vital & central to my college studies, but someetimes I want to chuck it out a window. COME ON OTA JB.... DRIVIN ME CRAZY!!!!

Sv: S Note crash

I really recommend you to try the LectureNotes application! Sure, it lacks some of the tricks SNOTE has but there is a simple way of using them while still using LectureNotes as the main program! It's as simple as drawing whatever in SNote, press the pen button and make a lasso around it. Press the LectureNotes icon that appears in the bottom of the page and select what notebook to paste the screenshot in when LectureNotes open.

There are so many advantages with LectureNotes compared to SNote that I don't even know where to begin, so I just recommend you to give it a try and use the technique above when you find an SNote feature to be better.
