[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It is nearly physically impossible to curve glass. I did say nearly as it is not completely impossible to do, unless you have plenty of money for very expensive manufacturing equipment.

After installing the Fantom 4 you could place the phone under your thigh to ensure a complete bond, however please note that this will make removing the protector without breaking very difficult so it is crucial that you are happy with the protector (in terms on alignment and such) before doing this.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each adhesion method. If you like SGP then please continue using them as we will continue producing our glass the way it is (no adhesive in the middle) as it's what works best right now.

Also quite confused why you bought a Fantom 4 if the Voyager 2 was garbage :confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tarroyo:
Xgear has recently started a kickstarter for sapphire screen protectors, Of course iphones will be the first to get them but I emailed and they responded back saying they are working on gs3 and nexus 4 models as well.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
Thanks for the response, pmoradi.

I've noticed there are specs of dust under my FFC now and the edges are dust magnets. I don't mind the edges too much, since they're mostly covered anyways, but the FFC is definitely an issue. I'll try to take pics tonight.

I noticed on my second protector (I bought two) that there's no adhesive for the FFC. Would I be voiding my warranty if I removed my protector and cleaned the dust out?

I'm worried about dust accumulating more under the protector and on the adhesive if I do that. I'm quite OCD about this stuff.

On another note, I've noticed my screen sensitivity is mostly acceptable. My screen used to register taps with the very tips of my fingers, but it now requires a little bit more of my fingertips to register anything. Not a big deal. The main problem I've been having with sensitivity is on the notification bar and anything below the dock. Those seem to require a full fingertip to register, which is kinda annoying.

Also, I've never had a tempered glass protector before, so I'm wondering...when this stuff breaks, does it shatter everywhere, or does it just split?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ectodroid:
Mine is also accumulating alot of particles under the front face camera. I'm afraid it will spread as I've only had the fantom on for 1 day.

Will take some pics when I get the chance.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Treatcon:
It shatters and spiders webs out like a car windshield would, without little pieces falling everywhere. I purposely broke one for my Galaxy Nexus to prove to my co-workers how strong it actually was. It took a lot of pressure to shatter and I'm 6' 2" / 215 lbs. I was amazed how strong it was!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Pmoradi2002 stops by but didn't comment on the dust accumulating under the FFC after asking for pics which some of us provided. At least some communication as to what they might do differently on future batches to prevent this from happening.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ectodroid:
Here is a pic of the particles stuck under the glass atm.

Galaxy Nexus has a pretty awful camera but you can clearly see it :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I wonder if this is the reason why the sensors have a cut out instead of being clear like the FFC. if they had made a cut out for the camera we wouldn't be having this issue. I noticed the box of the screen protector the picture shows that the sensors didn't have a cut out what was clear like the FFC. Maybe that was the original idea?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
If funding on that is successful we will begin working on the Nexus 4 & S III Sapphire. S4 most likely as well :good:

We were not aware that the front camera did not have any adhesive to keep the dust out, it was on our drawings however never happened. We are fixing this for our new batch that is coming in. While you won't void your warranty by removing the protector, you will void it if it breaks. Just be very gentle and slow when removing the protector and you shouldn't have any problem, however if you blow into the camera cutout from the top you should be able to clear out the debris without removing the protector.

Please read above

Please read above

The sensors are cutout since they do not work properly with glass on top of them. They are very sensitive and picky. Please keep this in mind for other tempered glass protectors that are on the market for the Nexus 4 as well as we've noticed they do not have any cutouts for the sensors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Since there was supposed have adhesive by the camera and it was on your drawings is this consider manufacturer error and qualify for replacement?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
That's exactly what I'm thinking too.

Another thing I'm curious about is the Krystal protectors. I see there are express benefits to iPhone users who pledge, but could those benefits be transferred to our respective phones instead? From what I understand, if we pledge $50, for example, we'll get a Krystal for an iPhone for free. Could it be changed into pledging the same amount for a Nexus 4 Krystal for free? I wouldn't wanna pledge to get an iPhone protector, when I know I won't be getting one in a million years.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We would be willing to do an exchange if you are bothered by it.

The project is currently only for the iPhone, if successful then we will put another project for the S III & Nexus 4 or we will have it directly on our website.

Tempered Glass Back Anyone? :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pharbrian:
What would be the procedure and/or cost associated with an exchange? The area over my front-facing-camera continues to accumulate more dust and lint.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I also would like to know this, I removed the SP and cleaned under it but how many times can we do this till the adhesive stops working? Also the rear glass looks great but I'm wondering will it be transparent or solid black like the pic? any possible ETA on that or hints on possible price? If those of us who bought the first batch (beta testers) and got this dust under the FFC problem decide to keep the SP and just live with the dust build up, would there be a possible discount for the purchase of the rear SP? I'm just trying to look at all the options.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
I'm curious too about the exchange process. Sorry, I'm just really anal about these things. :/

Just curious, if Krystal is harder than gorilla glass, wouldn't it potentially scratch it?

I just received my Poetic bumper, and I would advise against using it with this protector. Its shape isn't as rigid as the Ringke Fusion, so there is a much bigger chance of having the lip forcing up the protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pharbrian:
I just blew canned air aimed between the screen protector and the phone at the corner near the camera. When I did, the screen protector instantly popped off of the phone. It caused the screen protector to shift up on the phone approximately 2mm. I had to remove the screen protector, and reapply it in the proper position. As pmoradi2002 said, there is no adhesive in the black area around the camera. I took a look at the underside of the screen protector to confirm the adhesive problem before I reapplied it.

Blowing canned air at the area near the front facing did clear out all of the dust buildup. However, be sure to have a firm grip on the screen protector to keep it in place. I blew canned air in the top right corner again, while firmly holding the screen protector down, and didn't have any problem. I could feel the screen trying to pop off again though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Send an email to support through our site, make sure you mention you're from XDA and the issue. Procedure would be item to be sent back to us (you cover shipping) and once we receive it we will ship out a replacement (we cover shipping), of course this is when we get stock in.

Not sure on the back glass yet but will most likely be the clear one. Trying to push to have it in by the end of the month. Price will be around the same as the Fantom 4, maybe less.

Yes if you would like to keep the protector we can offer a 15% discount (contact support).

If you had a raw piece of Sapphire then yes it will scratch the Gorilla Glass. However since our finished pieces have a smooth finish as well as several protective coatings they will not scratch Gorilla Glass.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
pmoradi2002 you have been very helpful and understanding with all of us and for that I thank you but I do have one more question. Do you know if you'll have the white one available on the first week of may or just the black one? if so and if we do decide to take the replacement option would we be allowed to switch from black to white? Again thank you for all your patience on answering all of our questions.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yoyoz808:
I tried the Fantom 4 for a week now and i just have given up on it and went back to my old protector. I couldn't take the touch sensitivity issue. Once i put the old one back, i don't have to keep re-tapping the screen. I wasted money on this. Don't get me wrong, i really wanted to like it and it's a good start but i think it needs to be a little thinner and i think the center part needs to have contact with the screen since there is a very minimal lift from the adhesive being around the edge so that the touch sensitivity would be better.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Android 9000:
When?

So when is the sapphire protector coming out for the nexus 4? (I'm not looking for an exact date, just a rough number in terms of months). I currently have a nexus 4 and I want the best protection for my phone, no matter how expensive. I am willing to pay ~+-$60 for something like a Fantom 4 made of sapphire, as long as there are no dust issues. I am very unhappy with my current wet apply screen protector, as it gives a yellow tint to the screen, makes an orange peel effect, and scratches with the press of a fingernail.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
Don't quote me on it, but the MSRP for the iPhone ones is about $70, according to the pledge website on the benefits.

@pmoradi: If sapphire is about .2 mm thicker, will that cause more sensitivity issues than tempered glass? I know it is more sensitive than tempered glass at the same density, but if it's thicker, does it even out? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Sapphire has a 30%+ higher dielectric constant enabling:

-Higher sensitivity

-Hover touch applications

-Through-glove touch

2-3 Months

If I'm not mistaken the white will be in along with the black. Yes we can switch the black for white :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis_9:
I'm pretty new at rooting phones, I rooted my s2 with a custom ROM..I love the way my gn2 is now and except the bloatware. I've disabled them already but do they have any effect on the phone still?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] michaelatrix:
Yes but it will void warranty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis_9:
So having a few bloat ware apps really effect the phones speed that much?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
The stock firmware lets you disable bloatware. I was going to root until I found that out. Then I rooted and went back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] systoxity:
no lol. best reasons to root right now are good phone backups, decent file explorers, and interface modifications. There are a few other niche reasons to root but a regular user should be just fine. this phone's really good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrawer:
The Note 2 runs great without rooting.

And its nice that you can disable unwanted apps as mentioned above.

And if u dont like the main UI (touchmywiz) then just download another launcher like Nova or golauncher.

Problem with most Roms is there is usually something that doesnt work...thats just part of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aggieman:
+1

First phone I haven't felt the urge to root. It's nearly perfect out of the box other than the TW launcher which Nova Launcher solves for me. Was really looking forward to the Nexus 4 but don't think I can give my Note 2 up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis_9:
Thanks for all the responses... I've been running nova as well. I really like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeonMonster:
Yes stop floundering and just root the Note. Its painless and mostly one click. With Triangle Away, you can easily wipe the flash counter if you ever need to unroot the phone and return it for warranty or whatever.

I rooted for the ability to:

1. Use Titanium Backup to backup app data and freeze/uninstall bloatware && system apps (TB alone is worth rooting.)

2. Use ADblock. (Seriously refuse to EVER look at ads on my phone)

3. CUSTOM ROMS. (The biggest reason to root. My phone has JEDI-ROM which is a BEAST of a ROM. Unlimited Multi-window with ANY app, the FORCE optimizations, and BATTERY LIFE. My N2 was getting about 14 hours from a full charge on stock rom, now it gets on average of 24-30 HOURS on one charge. I don't even charge it during the night anymore.)

ATT won't be sending out any updates for the phone until a couple of months at least. Will Multi-Window even be included? Who knows. If it is included, it WONT be compatible with any app like the modded version.

If you make a list of WHY NOT, and WHY SHOULD you root, the WHY NOT list will be alot shorter. The flash counter is really the only "permanent" change you are making to the phone that will void warranty, but like I said there is a Root method which doesnt trip the counter, or you can use Triangle Away to wipe it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
I was happy un-rooted for the past 3 to 4 weekst, but i needed root access so I could use Root Explorer to delete a file so I could get flash to work with Dolphin Browser.

Sunday I rooted and flashed Jedi 3.2 ROM. I also had to flash a different Kernel so it would recognize my SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSD card. Now I'm enjoying Multi-View and no bloat. Hard to say but my battery live seems improved. That could be just a matter of usage not different. Time will tell. But I'm happy I finally rooted and flashed a custom ROM.

If you need to you can always go back to stock for warranty issues, but I've never had to do that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
Sorry to ask this... but can someone just provide a simple link to a easy-to-do root method, without me having to wade through hundreds of different threads and thousands of different posts? I am very new to rooting. I've only done it once, with my old HTC EVO 4G, and that was seamless because it was a one-click root method. All of these other subsequent root methods for other phones, including the Note, seem really intricate and they seem to require tons of time I don't have to devote to reading. If an easy root method is available, with instructions, I thank anyone in advance for directing me towards it. I only really want to root for Titanium Backup and also to improve battery life. I can't get these crazy on-screen times other non-rooted (or so they claim) folks are getting, so it seems like rooting will be the only way I can dream of getting it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis_9:
I'd like the same.. simple explanation and instructions..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] systoxity:
can you tell me what you mean? are you referring to the hide function in the app drawer? I'm tired of seeing the update notifications for att apps in the market. Is Titanium backup the only way to freeze those apps?

To root fast and easy:

Download this and extract:

http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip

unplug your phone for the pc,

run odin3 v1.85. click pda and then select cf-auto-root...md5

Make sure the box "re-partition" is not checked.

Hook your phone up to your usb port on your pc. wait a few seconds for that first box to turn green then click start.

your phone will reboot on its own and then you're done.

Follow this to the letter. I basically just summarized a guide i used but could not find again to link you to it. :(

EDIT* oh hey i found the link to the guide i used. I recommend you read it, does a better job than i did and its all very simple: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980644

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
The only reason I haven't rooted mine yet is because I am lazy...lol...lol...lol

Should you root yours...is a matter of personal perference really.Since you already know a little about it..you know what to look for and what to expect.

Do you like it as it is...or do you want to start flashing various mods & themes and different roms ?

It's no different than your S2 really in regards to this...except these run nice as they are out of the box...

I'm not a big fan of Touch Wiz...or any other skin someone has put on it...and while the virtues of the S-pen apps that come bundled with it are nice...I know it won't be long till they or some good substitutes are offered out of it as well...I just didn't buy my Note II for the S-pen...

I bought it because of what it can be...and because of the hardware it already employs

...Since I enjoy mixing and matching various things to make my phone unique and the best for me......rooting mine is only a matter of time..

I see a bright future for this phone and what has been done so-far is only a scratch on the surface of it...

Root it and play around with it..or keep it stock...either way enjoy it.

Don't Root

Considering you have an Android, there is no point in rooting because you have all the cuztomization options from the Google Play store. The only reason there is to root is to have wifi hack or Ad Blocker.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techweed:
Rooting doesn;t seem that hard to do. What I'm worried about is how to install a custom ROM and making sure I did everything right. I feel like there's different instructions depending on the rom I see and sometimes there's no instructions at all!

I put ICS on the HP Touchpad that I got cheap but that is the extent of my knowledge on this topic. I'd really love to have Multiview because ATT can't do their jobs but I'm worried I'd screw up. Is there a detailed explanation or online video showing me how to install a rom like Jedi for example?
