The OP needs to storyup, theres no possible way he had better luck with his phone than me or my Wife has had. In a matter of 2 weeks both of our phones now have small hair line scratches. I have been very careful with my note 2 and still this has happend. I also had a sales rep at a radio shack tell me that I dont need a screen cover for my note 2, he showed me his GS3 and told me that he has had his phone since August with what appeared as a flawless screen. Maybe since its a smaller screen it makes it somehow more scratchproof?.

Now its time to find a good screen protecter before I find a second scratch on my baby.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I didn't have one for my original droid for two years with no scratches. Then again I never dropped it and always kept it in my pocket.

When I got the Bionic (ick) I didn't put one on and it got a little scratch. Then I got the Galaxy Nexus which seemed to be coated with oil it was so slippery and I got my first case and protector.

Samsung has been making their cases super slippery since then. I think you should use caution or you will drop your $700 piece of hardware with all your data on it.

There are good protectors and cases. Just find some you like.

By the way our protectors (Just like Glass) are very good. I don't doubt others are as well. The big difference is you get my customer support if you don't like it I replace or refund your money..

A reasonably priced quality screen protector like SGP Ultra Crystal or Realook is good insurance against small scratches. As careful as I am I always get a scratch but fortunately it's on the screen protector and not the screen itself which would affect the resale value of a $700 phone.

I'm using this protector and spen and everything else works great. http://www.amazon.com/MobC-Galaxy-N...1355209405&sr=8-2&keywords=mobc+galaxy+note+2

I have always used a screen protector on any of my android devices. I know that it isn't going to stop a car running over it and cracking the screen. I do know that its going to keep from my keys, coins, s-pen, and other stuff scratching the screen.

That's all I want it to do and it's all a screen protector does for me. At the store or when I get a device in the mail. I take off the film it comes with and immediately apply a cheap screen protector until my ordered ones (Spigen UFs) get here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ashouhdy:
i use it and no problem actually the pen works better with screen protector as it dont slide easily .., my previous s2 and s3 got scratched so why not put a protector and every 3 weeks change it so its perfectly clean and unnoticable
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] \/icious:
I have a GS2 and i have beat this thing to hell and back and it only has one very fine scratch on the screen. Ill definitely be putting a good cas and screen protector on my note 2 when i get it as everything i have read seems to suggest this screen is more fragile than the one on the GS2. I feel like your asking for trouble not doing so on a screen with such a large surface area. I regret not keeping proper protection on my GS2 though it has proven to be an incredibly durable phone
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mauk80:
My iphone 4s, s3 all had some minor scratching on the screen. I see a lot of youtube vids with people using keys to scratch test.

I keep my phones I my pocket with my keys.

Since I got the note 2 I put in a ghost amor right away.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] le_lutin:
I always assumed that people who got scratches on their screens were just quite careless. I, on the other hand, had never got scratches because I was ultra careful with all my devices.

How wrong I was.

Noticed just yesterday some pretty horrible scratches in the middle of my Note 2's screen. I have been sooooo careful with mine. I can't think how on earth the scratches could have got there.

The lesson for me? Don't get smug just because you don't have scratches. Don't assume it won't happen to you. It happened to me.

Ordered a JLG yesterday about an hour after I noticed the scratches. Hopefully it'll help disguise the scratch a little bit an prevent any further scratches.

I have a screen protector on my Note 2, and the stylus works perfectly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Less than an hour after I purchased my Note 2 I scratched the screen by accidentally putting my keys in to the same pocket as my phone. As I pulled the keys out, the screen was scratched at two places. THAT is why my phone now has a ZAGG screen saver on it.

I use the SPEN pretty much all day and have had ZERO issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Xelstyle:
Discovered some micro scratches on my couple week old SPG Oleophobic screen protector.

Drove me absolutely made even though it was on a piece of replaceable material. Can't imagine how I would feel with a scratched screen.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D3_:
No, but I will make them wear helmets when learning to ride a bike. Better to bump/bruise/scratch an easily replaceable helmet than their head. Same thing applies to the phone, except the phone can't heal itself.

Also, if the feel is so important to you you can use a Just Like Glass or SGP Glas screen protector.

Stupid stupid stupid if you don't get a protector. I'm as careful with my phone as a person can be and I noticed a little scratch this morning on my Just Like Glass protector. Because I have the protector on, the scratch doesn't bother me it all...the protector is so nice that I can deal with it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kingofkings11:
I honestly dont see the point of screen protectors or even cases being used to prevent scratches (I totally understand cases to absorb the shock from a fall)

Looking at ebay you can get a note 2 faceplate (with the glass piece) and the battery cover for $30 which is essentially less than what you would spend on a good protector and case. When my screen and battery cover get scratched up which they inevitably will I'll just buy the faceplate and battery cover off ebay and replace them. That way I get to enjoy my phone/screen the way it is naked.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mr.Mischief:
Usually, you're going to need the glass plus screen, which runs about $180.

I'll take a $10 or $20 case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] primarym:
Use a screen protector/shield whatever! Use something!

Let me justify my pov.

I had a Sony Xperia Arc which I handed to my gf after getting the N7100. Arc had a few little scratches on it. I had read that Arc also had scratch resistant glass but darn, it was scratched already even when I really took good care of it.

Tonight I learned that Arc had a shield installed in the factory. I had never noticed it. I checked and yes, there was a shield on the screen. I removed the shield and voila! the scratches aren't there anymore!

For those who say "why not enjoy the screen and ruin it with a shield".. the "manufacturer" decides to go with the shield "even though" the glass they use is "scratch-resistant"... They must know better than you and me you'd think right? :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] codeninja99:
Interesting post. I have the HD protector on mine. I am thinking of taking it off. but, everything seems to work fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
People still use them because ANY kind of glass will scratch under the right circumstances.

Samsung saying in the manual not to use one is probably just covering their ass if the spen doesn't work and someone has one on.

The screen protector technology is so good now they don't even affect the light sensors.

I realize that gorilla glass is very strong and doesn't scratch easily, but i dropped my note 2 the other day on a smooth concrete surface and there were 2 decent scratches on the screen that were actually noticeable, i hate having scratches on my screens! Luckily there was a manufacture problem with my phone and i got to get a brand new one so i now have 0 scratches on my phone and i threw on a screen protector and its not as bad as people say they are with this phone with the s-pen and all. Sure SOMETIMES you'll have to double click something, but its worth not having permanent scratches on your beautiful display!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SpyFi:
NO NO NO! Go ahead and order that part and try and use it... The digitizer and LCD are FUSED. The whole kit runs around $220 USD. Plus if you do not know what you are doing you can ruin the phone for good.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] neil85ae86:
I also have an htc flyer with a pen and one thing guys came across is if you get a tiny piece of grit on your plastic pen tip you can do a number on the screen.

I use an anti-glare screen protector, it adds nice texture to the screen, it doesn't mess with the pressure sensitivity, and after a year no scratches in the screen protector, oh and no smudges either.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
I only have two customers who say the JLG Note II ones are scratching. It's important to me to figure out the issue for them.

I've still been testing mine with all sorts of stuff - I wrote on it with a ballpoint pen and it didn't scratch it.

I used a key real hard and it did scratch it (stupid idea, keys cant scratch the glass but of course they can scratch plastic).

So two pens, my spen as hard as possible using both ends.

I have customer satisfaction OCD. I'm going to send them new ones but if they scratch again I can only assume it's the spen. How much do the spen's cost?

I have the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and use it with a screen protector. I do not have to any problem using the S-Pen. Not sure why the Note 2 will have problems with screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SSHGuru:
It's not the Note II it's the protector on it scratching.

I have a Note II also and mine doesn't scratch - I've sold hundreds and two people are getting scratched.

I've sold some 10.1's and haven't heard anything about scratches but I don't sell that many.

Hopefully they just got a bad protector and I'll replace it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spade4:
I wouldn't compromise my regular, day to day S Pen functionality, accuracy & sensitivity, or that of the other sensors, just on the off chance I MIGHT somehow get sand in my pocket, and enough of it in the right position to scratch up my screen over the next less-than-one-year I'll be using it before the next one comes out.

What's the point of buying a $700-800 phone if you're not going to get the optimal use out of it before it gets outdated.

Been using a screen protector on mine for over a month with no issues and spen works great. Zagg HD
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
It seems that most people are experiencing scratches from having your Note II in your pocket. Just stop by your local mall and go to the sunglass kiosk. They sell little microfiber or silk sunglass pouches that are a perfect fit for your Note II when it is in your pocket. If you find a micro fiber one it is also quite handy for wiping fingerprints off the screen.

Two negatives with screen protectors.

1) They are a pain to get on perfectly with no bubbles or dust.

2) The are softer than the gorilla glass and thus scratch very easily. Result is that while your glass is pristine, your screen protector is all marked up and you have to look at it every day. I don't use my phone with the idea of selling it someday, I use it to use the crap out of it and enjoy it today.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] j0nkatz:
I baby my devices and have notices several light scratches on the screen. Can't really see them unless the screen is off and you tilt it the right way, but they are there.

Could it be a coating they put on the glass that is scratching and not the glass itself?

I had exactly the same attitude as you before mine got scratched. I can assure you that I took incredible care of it, not a speck of sand got near it. And yet... it got scratched. And I felt as sick as a dog.

Wish I hadn't been so smug before and just put a screen protector on it instead.

Much happier with Realook Crystal Clear than SGP Ultra Crystal and no issues with pen input.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kendotelie:
My two cents...I don't want to use a screen protector but each day lets me know I need one. I can count the times ive dropped my phone and it's landed on its face with no scratch afterwards but after a day in my pocket with my keys maybe or a loose change and voilà a few light but 1 inch scratches on my Gorrila Glass that Samsung tells me not to use a screen protector on. So which way do I go? Ummm. A screen protector!

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rulerofkaos:
I'm having the same issue sometimes, sometimes it works.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djirin:
What might be happening is port itself going bad as Archos seems to have used a flimsy ribbon cable on the 3G port. Since the port can actually move in and out it stresses the ribbon cable and breaks the data traces in it.

See this post over on the Archos Fans website. It has pictures in it showing the ribbon cable in question. It seems the power traces can still deliver power but the data traces are smaller and pretty much get destroyed.

So the port will get power, but not able to send data essentially.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rulerofkaos:
I had this once and sent my 80G9 to Archos to get it repaired. A solution is not to slide the stick out, so the cable is not stressed to much. On the new one I sometimes have the problem that it takes a while to connect to the 3G stick or I need to reboot. But it depends on the firmware aswell.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
The internal cable connection is one issue... the hardware design itself and the driver/software is another.

Please have a look at dmesg output if the 3G stick refuses to connect.

There seems to be some trouble to detect devices on the host port in general after a while. A reboot generally fixes these issues.

Might be something with the USB PHY not getting resetted properly or other things after sending the device to sleep...

Anyway as long as the stick works after reboot it's more or less acceptable for me.

Have fun!

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhtizzy:
I checked the dmsg log after connecting and switching the port on & off. This produces various errors such as 'cannot enumerate device' and 'write error on temp directory' and bunch of other problems which might or might not have anything to do with the issue concerning the secondary cpu boot. It seems the driver had been implemented poorly. The only thing that works consistently is rebooting the device but as soon as it's gone to sleep for a short period, it cannot activate the 3gstick anymore. Please note this is the original Archos 3G stick which cost me an extra 65euro's on top of the 300euro's I spent on the G9....
