NOTICE: THE GLAS IS NOW DISCONTINUED!

Hey everyone, welcome to my very thorough and in-depth review on Spigen SGP's GLAS, tempered glass screen protector, for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Purchase at: Cretouch.com

Installation

- Easy as hell. No air bubbles and fuss. *Just make sure to thoroughly clean the screen and read the instructions.* Tape works well for getting rid of dust.

Also go from edge towards the center not vice versa. The edges of the protector(colored bezel/frame) is thicker than the clear glass area, so going from center out can cause sensitivity issues.

Clarity

- No clarity loss at all whatsoever. Looks like the stock screen.

Fingerprints

- The oleophobic coating really does work. I have noticed less fingerprints with the GLAS.

Feel/Texture

- Honestly feels just like the original glass screen. Very smooth and glass like.

Cutouts

- Cutouts are done well. There are physical cutouts for the sensors, speakers, and home button. Sensors work just fine and the cutout for the home button is a bit recessed. Spigen includes epoxy buttons that add a slight raise for the home button. They're also great for some more personalization.

- Internal, clear cutouts for the LED light, front facing camera, and capacitive menu buttons.

Coverage

- Does not go edge to edge. Leaves a few mm of space between the GLAS and the bezel.

Sensitivity:

- So after having installed the protector and using it, I have negative things to say about the GLAS. The responsiveness of the screen is lost by quite a bit. Swipes often make accidental clicks and touch often does not register. According to Spigen, installing from edge to center should fix the problem many were having, but this was not the case.

Here's a pic with the Neo Hybrid:

Case comptability(from the cases I have):

Spigen Neo Hybrid - works, still some gap left between case and screen protector

Spigen Lumi/Color Series bumpers - same as neo hybrid

Draco S3 Bumper - works

Cruzerlite Clone Army - works

Spigen Modello - works

Acase Super Leggera Pro - works

Overall works with every case from what I can see that doesn't obtrude or come around the edge of the phone too much.

Comment if you have a case that is compatible with the GLAS.

Awesome review :good:

I like the Packaging and the Home Button stickers that come with it :)

no more GLAS

This product has been discontinued, and there is thread about it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875115

It has been notified by Spigen SGP that Samsung Galaxy S3 GLAS Premium Tempered Glass Series have been discontinued. Due to the many complaints of the product, they have decided not to sell it anymore.

Sincerely,

CreTouch Customer Service
[Galaxy S III Accessories] srivas95:
I was looking forward to getting it. Glas. T is still available?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aturyan:
I believe Spigen is still selling the GLAS. CreTouch is an authorized reseller. If you want to purchase it you can go to spigen.com

Works with Otterbox Defender if you knock the Defender's stock (crappy) screen protector out
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Crisisx1:
Damn.. Why exactly was it discontinued.. What were the complaints about?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bhags8:
Been reviewed a few times. Anyways, since the protector doesnt go edge to edge, dust/particles/hair get stuck on the side of the protector. I plan on removing mine tonight, way to much crap stuck to the sides.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] electric0ant:
Also a lot of people seemed to have experienced sensitivity issues. missed keystrokes when typing, missed inputs when playing games etc.

Mine only arrived after this issue was reported, and I applied it by the same way the OP did, pressure from outside towards centre, (as per statement from sgp) but I still had the issues, it was really annoying, I had to purposely slow down my typing in order to prevent having so many errors.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BlueCross:
Does anyone know if they're going to be releasing a new version of the GLAS screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
To the op, thanks for the review and very detailed.

I have a alternative to the spg, looks identical, I have no issue with it and the quality is very good, mine is using japanese material, item made in korea and package in china.

the way i install it is just put pressure along the sides a few times, not even touching the center.

I'm wait for the release of the blue version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bhags8:
You shouldnt buy ANY product from Spigen. Ive bought 3 products from them and got burned all 3 times. I did get a replacement for one of them though. First was the neo hybrid. The volume rocker didn't work. After numourous emails (in which they already knew this product had this problem) I got a replacement. I was happy. Next was this glass screen protector, the sensitivity was awful and the thing collected so much dust on the sides of the screen protector it was a joke. The sides of the protector were covered in lint and were black lol. Now I order their ultra thin air case and the stupid thing doesn't even stay on the case. Even their website reviews say the same thing. So all 3 accessories I've bought from SPIGEN were terrible. Good luck if you take the chance. I'm currently using my old otter box defender, looking for a new case though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cynofield:
this looks amazing! how does it go after a couple weeks use? It is possible to have a drop test on the glass?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
why don't you buy one and test it out, no one is going to do that on purpose.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thrgk:
Anywhere to get these still?

If you didn't know, developers are begining to drop from the Note II due to the lack of info on the Exynos processor and the difficulty it creates. Now Samsung may be softening and is considering releasing documentation. Here's the tweet.

So, if you care about custom roms, shout it out to them on the twitter page.

Hello Everyone,

I am interested in see how different micro SD cards perform with the Note 2. Does any one know what data speeds the Note 2 will support via micro SD? Is it worth waiting for the samsung high speed micro SD cards or is the Note 2 the limiting factor?

I am particular interested in Sandisk Ultra 64GB and Sandisk Extreme Pro to see if the Note 2 is able to utilize a faster card.

Please post any microSD benchmarks you have from the Note 2, thank you.

Hey, guys, how can i get back to LWW stock kernel?

Does anyone has a link of LWW stock kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanjia:
Flash the ftf file of your phone with flashtool.

It will automaticly flash back to stock kernel

Make a backup of your stuffs before flashing

Sent from my WT19i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
You can just flash the stock kernel without wiping out any data from your phone .

select the ftf in flashtool and select the option to just flash the kernel.

The option to flash the kernel will be provided to you prior flashing the ftf in the right side of the flashtool window while selecting the ftf file.

Make sure you just flash the kernel if that's what you want .

HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED YOU :) !

[HTC One S] Johnnyboy84:
Hey Guys,

I purchased a new One S from T-Mobile and they sent me a phone that can't connect to 4g. I know that the problem is the phone, I attempted to get a replacement phone and they shipped it but gave me an excuse saying something about fraud and sent my phone back to the warehouse before I could even get it. But yet T-Mobile doesn't mind taking my $$$

So enough of that I called HTC and they want to take a look but I'll be 7-10 days with no phone. Any solution for this problem? My phone is stock and for some odd reason won't connect to anything but 2G I checked the APN settings and dabbled with that but to no avail I even factory reset and tried other sim cards no luck.

Any advice? I think I'll end up ending it to HTC but I'm trying to fix this on my own and a last resort send it to HTC for repair.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Settings --> Mobile Network --> Network mode. Make sure it's on WCDMA preferred or GSM/WCDMA Auto.
[HTC One S] shemp5150:
Yeah, that doesn't work. It's an issue with the 4.0.4 update. T-Mobile has been dragging their ass on a fix for it, I'm getting my 3rd replacement for the phone I've had less than 30 days at some point this week.

There's an official thread going on T-Mobile's support site...I'd post a link but it won't let me.
[HTC One S] dead-zon:
My One S has the same problem. Not rooted yet. I wonder If I root it if it will fix the issue. Anyone tried that?
[HTC One S] mikeyinid:
If you run the 2.35 ruu it'll probably fix the issue you guys are having. Pretty sure.
[HTC One S] dead-zon:
If the 2.35 ruu does not work is there a 1.85 ruu which we all know it works fine? Sorry, it is just very frustrating.
[HTC One S] mikeyinid:
If you're on 4.0.4 I'm pretty sure only the 2.35 ruu will restore your phone. And I think you'll have no more issues your having. I was having issues with data and wifi when I updated via ota. Ran the ruu and haven't had any problems since.
[HTC One S] dead-zon:
I will give it a try. Hopefully it works. I will be rooting it too. Do u suggest to flash the ruu, see if everything works fine and then root or just root and try it later?
[HTC One S] mikeyinid:
Ruu first. The bootloader has to be locked to do it
[HTC One S] dead-zon:
I really appreciate your responses! Do you mind PMing you if I run in any problems?
[HTC One S] mikeyinid:
Go ahead. Make sure you have the drivers for the phone installed and you should have no problems
[HTC One S] sharik21:
didnt work for me:( i tried to mess with the setting and then i did the *#*#4636#*#* then and went back and forth from wcdma preferred to wcdma only and in the wcdma only it would try to connect to hspa and just get stuck on connecting:(:( can i try the new euro version that came out my phone is factory unlocked
[HTC One S] mohzim:
Did anyone had any luck fixing this by stock/custom roms?
[HTC One S] mohzim:
Naah, Ruu 2.35 didnt work for me either ... Can it be possible for a 4.0.4 Update cause a permanent Hardware issue???
[HTC One S] stratax:
Okay so i was having wifi issues on Trickdroid 7.0.0 TMOUS.. so i did a little searching and what not and found out i had to flash 2.3.5 parts/radio to get it working. before hand i was getting full bars/4g. After i flashed both 2.3.5 extra partitions, and the 2.3.5 radio i reboot to find out my wifi finally works, then i notice i have no signal.. i tried rebooting, etc didnt work. tried restoring the backup i made through clockwork before i flashed the radio; didnt work. tried taking out my SIM card and putting it back in, didnt work. ive tried flashing miui, trickdroid 8.x.x, a nandroid posted from stock 2.3.5, nothing will bring back my signal. so i thought maybe my SIM card is messed up, i put it in my backup go phone and i get full bars.

also, i tried RUU both 1.5.x and 1.8.x and both give me RUU error 155 after its done "sending files"..

any help would be awesome. could i flash a older radio or something??

edit: im on hboot 1.09 btw
[HTC One S] stratax:
Okay looks like no one knows how to fix this?

tried flashing a older radio and no go, and just flashed RUU 1.84 and no go as well. i flashed the international trickdroid and upon first boot i had signal (no 4g) and i was able to send a text to myself and received it. then i restarted my phone and.. gone :( that was before i flashed the RUU.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Try this.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

So can you post the link to where you got the "2.3.5 extra partitions" and the radio from. And how did you flash them on your phone?
[HTC One S] stratax:
thank you for your reply. this is where i got it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32170653 from "Rsotbiemrptson" i also got the radio update from him, what he posted.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657831&page=285 look at my quote at the bottom.
[HTC One S] dc211:
This is a tricky one but I got a few ideas. Need a little bit more info. What version of hboot do you have?

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Oh i see 1.09 now. I understand why the updated adsp wcnss would fix your wifi but I can't really figure out what broke your radio. You flashed a bunch of different roms so you ruled that out. I would go ahead and try flashing the 2.35 radio again and see if that helps. If not flash an older radio and see.

I know how to undo all the changes you made but lets see what a new radio flash does first. Don't just flash the one you have but re-download it fresh and flash with that.
[HTC One S] stratax:
okay thank you. i will try a few more things. i really hope its not blacklisted, i really dont think it is though since it happened RIGHT afterwards.

oh other details is i didnt wipe or anything i just flashed both, partition parts/radio then rebooted and wifi worked then had no service.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Since it just happened after you flashed new stuff that leads me to believe that was the cause. I'm pretty sure I know how to fix. But if it were me I'd start with re-flashing the radio.
[HTC One S] stratax:
I just installed the OTA 2.3.5 update over 1.84 RUU and still no go, im going to try to install the radio through recovery and see if that fixes it.

edit: well that was dumb.. now i have the updated hboot :l
[HTC One S] dc211:
Sorry to hear that! I didn't expect you to try that route. However, it should have resolved your issue the OTA would have overwritten everything you did. You couldn't get a cell signal after the RUU or OTA?
[HTC One S] stratax:
Still a no go.. D: im going to try and install trickdroid 7.0.0 and re-install that radio just to double check.
[HTC One S] dc211:
You can't reinstall the radio, those days are over for you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You're stuck with 2.x RUU's only from now on to change radios.

Since your in this spot you might try the latest CM10 nightly they have implemented the radio firmware into the rom itself. That might allow you to sidestep your problem. Also check under about -> phone and see if your imei matches whats on the box that came with the phone.
[HTC One S] stratax:
Okay, i now know its not blacklisted. I just unlocked it with the unlock .exe and put a extra AT&T SIM card laying around and put in the AT&T APN and everything and still says "disconnected because service is unavailable". sooooo, thats good news! i guess..

im going to try to flash a nightly and see if that works. my brother just told me they are probably working on the 4g towers here and maybe thats why it isnt working on this phone and a few other people.. that would be cool, but frustrating that ive done all this.

edit: with the at&t SIM card it just says "no service" in the notifications bar. With the T-Mobile SIM card it says "Emergency calls only". weird

edit2: Still doesnt work with cyanogenmod 10.
[HTC One S] ragin69:
im suck in the same place man i hope someone finds out
[HTC One S] stratax:
Yeah I thought today it might be fixed but its not. It finally finds T-Mobile if I search for it but it won't connect to it. It won't connect to att either when I put my att sim in. So I think its the phone having issues.. I've been seeing a lot of other people having them as well.

When I select any network or even automatic registration it says "can't connect right now. Try again later."

I uploaded two screen shots. It won't even let me call T-Mobile..
[HTC One S] ragin69:
yep dude same here that sucks man it happened after i put a rom on too
[HTC One S] stratax:
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. this is probably the last htc I will get. I hear it is happening on the one x as well. Tomorrow I'll call T-Mobile and ask about it.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Can you check under about -> phone and see if your imei matches whats on the box that came with the phone. If you do can you give me the first 4 or 5 digits
[HTC One S] ragin69:
same here man this sucks now i have to start all over but i didnt get it from t mobile but i went in there to get a sim card to see if that was it and they said they cant do nothing so i guess we are suck with a $600 ipod touch with ICS lol
[HTC One S] stratax:
I don't have the box, and the sticker on the back is mostly worn since I used the phone for a while without the sim cover (I bought it new without it). but I just looked in my google dashboard, and typed *#06# and it matched and I can see the last three digits on the sticker clearly and they match with both as well. the first 5 digits are: 35990

thanks.
[HTC One S] stratax:
I didn't get it from tmobile either, I bought it new from somebody. had the stickers and everything on it. I swear, every HTC phone I have ever had, has had at least 1 major issue. well, the g1 didn't.

edit: even people on the one v are having the issues:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679461 serious HTC wtf
[HTC One S] ragin69:
what phone would you recommend what about the galaxy
[HTC One S] stratax:
nokia 3310.

on topic, anyone know of a fix..? :( sucks having no phone.
[HTC One S] dc211:
35990 is how it should start so that is good. I would call t-mobile support and have them re-provision the phone. That's where they kinda refresh/reauthorize the phone. Then take a look at the apn settings and make sure those are correct. Also, try to enable data roaming and see if that changes anything.
[HTC One S] stratax:
Okay thanks, ill post my results tomorrow. it sucks how i dont have insurance on this phone or anything.. i really hope they can do something about it. now i wish i wouldn't have unlocked my bootloader.
[HTC One S] stratax:
Okay so i just now tried to register my phone on tmobile again out of curiosity and i get this message now.. and when i restart it says "no service", then i tried going in to APN settings and it says no SIM card was installed? its starting to look like a hardware issue now.. i seriously dont get it.

tomorrow ill call tmobile and go up to radioshack and see if they can get another SIM to work in it or something.

automatic registration says the "unable to connect....." and when i tried to manually select tmobile in "search for networks" it said the thing about incompatibility, which i dont understand.

Edit: so I just tried a extra T-Mobile micro SIM laying around that came with my amaze.. same exact issue, except I actually have a voicemail with this SIM, that I can't even dial lol.. no matter which SIM i use I get the same error.
[HTC One S] dc211:
So it's pretty clear something weird is going on here. Pop out your sim card and wipe down the gold contacts incase there is a problem there. Also, I have what might be good news. Another user ran into the same problem and posted how he fixed it here.

You might try it, you got nothing else to lose.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599363&page=14

Also, on your phone dial *#*#4636#*#* click on phone info and scroll down the page just a little bit so we can't see your phone number and IMEI. Then post a screen shot of it if you can.
[HTC One S] ragin69:
when i put my sim card in it will give me my number and everything but still nothing
[HTC One S] stratax:
Sounds like my issue, but I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they said many imei is blocked. :/ I requested it to be unlocked but I don't know how that will go.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Check your private messages I'll send you one in the morning.
[HTC One S] ragin69:
Did you guys find out anything
[HTC One S] stratax:
I called tmobile and they said they cant do anything about it. I cant believe someone would sell a "new phone" and it winds up not being paid for.

im probably going to try and trade it for a att phone and unlock it since if that att phone is blacklisted it wont matter since im on tmobile. you can resell it on CL and state it will work on every network besides tmo, you have to unlock it first of course.
[HTC One S] ragin69:
so my phone dont work bc someone said it was not paid for?
[HTC One S] ragin69:
it worked thanks man!
[HTC One S] stratax:
What worked exactly??
[HTC One S] ragin69:
O sorry lol the unlock sim now I can sell it as at&t ...does the other carriers work too I know at&t works but idcabout the other ones
[HTC One S] stratax:
Sorry for the late reply, yes i think other carriers like straightalk, etc should work. as long as they dont use tmobiles network. i know most GSM networks like straightalk use att towers and what not (thats what ive heard).
[HTC One S] mohzim:
hi... i have the exact same issue. It seems my IMEI is blocked and no SIM seems to work. How were you able to fix the issue? Did you have to unlock your sim again or just changed the phone?

I restored the stock JRO03D factory image from fastboot but the recovery doesn't seem to be written.
