The anti glare ones really degrade the screen vibrancy.

I recently applied the MinGuard Anti-Glare screen protector and my default stylus is acting strange. Don't know if it's the protector or the stylus. After installing the protector, I immediately changed to the white nib which glides better than the one.

But when clicking on buttons(not swiping) using the stylus, the tablet does not react sometimes. Takes several tries to successfully click on a button. It doesn't matter how hard I press, the angle in which I press, or how long I press. Now, when I use my finger to click on a button, it works as it should.

For instance, when I bring up the Task Manager and click with the stylus between Ram Manager and Active Appllications" the tablet does not react many times. Or even if I try to click the "X" to close the Task Manager, it takes many times to close. Or if I click the buttons in Snote to change my pen tip, it takes many times to bring it up. This issue doesn't occur all buttons.... I can click on the system buttons in the lower left no problem or app buttons.

Do you guys think the screen protector is the culprit? Or bad stylus? Thanks so much.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] wgraz:
I THINK I found the issue. It was the magnets in my book cover. When I position the flap(which contains the magnets) out of the way, it works much better...but not perfect. so I think the protector takes away from stylus sensitivity a bit. Magnets effecting the stylus was discussed in this thread: S-Pen Inaccurate

I recieved this one yesterday that I got from Amazon:

amFilm (TM) Premium Screen Protector Film Clear (Invisible) for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1-Inch) and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2-Pack) [in AM retail packing]

It took me both supplied protectors to really apply what I consider almost perfect. I believe there are like 2-3 really small dust particles near the camera but I didn't want to risk ruining my 2nd attempt. I applied it last night. No issues at all with my pen or screen. Mine has the white tip on. I decided on this particular product because it's clear and had great reviews. Glad I chose this one and better safe than sorry for my screen, but to each their own.

i tried to put on a screen protector but then my s-pen didn't flow well !!!

which kind of screen protector do you recommend ?

thanks

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] imageisstyle:
Hi cama-cama. Read my post above yours. I pasted the one I ordered off Amazon. It was easy to apply. I have had NO issues with my pen. I wrote this reply with my pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] abmicyau:
There really is no point in using a screen protector for this tablet. Just get a flip case, don't be stupid with your tablet, and bam, no scratches, ever.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
You can be guaranteed to see micro scratches after a couple months without a screen protector. Your choice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] iRock48:
I personally use the Spigen Ultra Clear and it is literally smooth as glass... in fact, I think it was actually a bit too smooth so I had to put a different tip on my S-pen...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
What ever you do,if you;n tend to have smooth S-Pen Usage, do not use Skinomi's screen protectors. They are too soft & sticky. and prone to dents

Odp: Screen protector - useful?

Anyone try this?

http://en.puro.com/en/store/tablet-...tectors/samsung/galaxy-note-10.1/standard.jsp

Do you think it will be a good screen protector and s pen will work good?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] asafoxhound:
Need help

Does anyone know where to get a clear skin to protect just the back and sides of the Note 10.1 ? I think the screen protector will destroy the purpose of the S-pen. Please link if you know a store that will sell just the back and sides. THank you.

Why do you think a screen protector will destroy the s pen function?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Dookiestan:
I have a zagg and I like it, mostly. it protects very well and goes on super easy, unlike the "harder just like glass style" which I like more, I have one on my GN2, but it probably impossible to get it on without dust particles unless in a sterile environment that is vacuum sealed. It does lose some sensitivity but you can adjust the pen and learn to use your finger better. I am not an artist so the fine tip super sensitivity is not important, I use it to take notes and sketches for work. And for fun it does not interfere with anything.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
In case you change your mind about not getting a screen protector, make sure you don't get the Zagg.

Respectfully, that are some differing opinions but way too many negative ones about them in general.

Yellowing over time, easy to deform and dent, orange peel texture, just to name a few.

There are others like spigen or just like glass, or exim that get better reviews consistently
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Gray44:
I have a note without screenprotector, but just after a few weeks of use I noticed small scratches so I can recommend one.

And don`t buy the very cheap ones, for my other devices I used the ones from SGP and very happy with it :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] eusouandroidonxda:
I recommend
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] dt1401:
they are helpful, but make your screen blurry
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] suopa-ures:
I recommend it.

I bought a spigen ultra fine(matte) for my note 10.1.

The installation was relatively easy. It came with good tools; squeegee for bubbles and little pieces of tape to remove any accidental dust on the protector (which worked btw!).

It feels great to the touch and looks really good. I don't notice much loss of picture quality.

I usually sit under bright lights in class and the matte cover mitigates(to some degree) any reflections in my eye.

Also change your spen tip to the white one and feel the SPEED!

Overall really love it and would suggest. Price was decent as well for the quality.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] mitchellvii:
Honestly, so long as you have a case with a cover I don't see the need for a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tritran18518:
what wrong to have screen protector ? It cheap (the cheapest ones work best, don't buy those expensive sticky ones. Sorry but when i heard some one bought $30 screen protectors, i feel sorry for them cause they got robbed so bad:laugh:) , it is quite easy to install, it doesn't effect your picture quality, doesn't effect you s-pen. But it will protect you screen. You don't have to worry that something will scratches your beautiful screen. Why don't you want something that benefit for you ?

Note 10.1 and a big &%#&@# knife

You all have to see this knife test on a Note 10.1, I almost could not watch it all the way to the end but glade that I did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7aYMgyXMCw

Not so much of a cut test but it sure takes a beating.

.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tritran18518:
impressive video but it won't stop me using screen protector for my tab.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Riki1kenobi:
That is completely unscientific and pure speculation. How do you know you don't get the same scratches with a screen protector on? I wish someone would do a real world scientific test on screen protectors and prove/debunk this snake oil myth once and for all! The knife test video helps but the thing is, every situation is different. In saying that, if our screens can withstand a ninja attack I'm pretty sure for the majority of our tabs will last fine! :rolleyes:

I've had my note for some 6 months and have never used a screen protector. There are NO, ZERO, zilch micro or other scratches on my screen (apart from one which was there from day one). It gets used every day for around 10 hours per day. I use a bookcase cover and a decent cloth to clean it.

I really do wish people would stop spreading this. I'm sure I've posted this before, maybe not on this site but a year or so back I got a massive scratch on my S2 BECAUSE I had a screen protector on. Under normal circumstances it would have just bounced of the screen. So to say screen protectors prevent scratches is wrong!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] ThePanduuh:
I personally use screen protectors because I always have. There really are no disadvantages. I use anti glare ones. The only disadvantage with these, is a reduction in screen quality (it makes the screen look worse) but its only temporary. Like everyone else has said, try one out, they're cheap and if you don't like it just throw it away.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tritran18518:
what? How Was Your phone Scratched because of screen protector?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] klau1:
One word: Quartz

Harder than metal of any knife.

It's everywhere
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] specter07:
This doesn't prove anything, how about putting the blade on the screen and moving it back and forth.

I got Gorilla Glass on my Skyrocket and lately I've been getting scratches on my screen.

It's called scratch resistant for a reason, because it's resistant to scratches, not scratch proof.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Riki1kenobi:
The edge got caught on the screen protector and dug in. The scratch Was so Bad it was a screen replacement job. If it had been just the bare screen it would have bounced/slid off. I know this for a fact as I tested it afterwards. Needless to say, I never used a screen protector on any of my phones after that. YMMV.

Some people will swear by them, that's fair enough, IF you never get a scratch then you can say it was because it was protected. But its unscientific because you can't tell whether they would've been scratched without one.

Only time I would use them again would be to reduce fingerprints/glare NOT as protection.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Ashton_Durkhun:
I've used two screen protectors, no idea the brand, they came on devices I bought off eBay.

The first was on my TF101 and I didnt notice any reduction in sensitivity and it helped reduce glare, if I knew the brand I might use them for the glare reduction.

The second was a vinyl protector for iPad (1) and it did nothing my make me miserable, it scratched easily, reduced sensitivity and did not help glare. I removed it and never looked back.

It really depends, imo, on how rough you are on your devices, to date I've never had more than one or two superficial scratches on one device's screen, but I'm careful to avoid dirt and dust and am very gentle with my devices (discounting my iPhone, which my father dropped while using, all my devices are in "pristine" condition when I resell them to upgrade) On the other paw, I had 2 flip-phones and the external of both looks like a nightmare, one of them actually took a skid across asphalt --- but it was only worth $50 and obviously replacement only involved tyoing one 6-number password and turning a few options on or off and it was good to go, so I wasn't too worried about it, though to it's credit I've had it for six years and still use it when my smartphones are down and it works perfectly (or as perfect as ever - SPH-A900, which has issues randomly rebooting FROM THE FACTORY)

So, I personally do not use screen protectors, though I do almost always use cases, full wrap-a-round usually (iPad3 has the "smart case", iPhone has full rubber case, and my SGN 10.1 has a leather "portfolio" case) so that helps prevent any damage.

EDIT:

I should note that I dont wear any rings, which can KILL screens, including Gorilla Glass, when the day comes and I'm (presumably) wearing a wedding ring daily, I will probably change this and I advise anyone who does to use a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Adrians620:
I'm always using a screen protector because I'm taking care of my devices. It protects my device from any scratch, even if it's as bad as the mine one is
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] apallohadas:
Maybe you don't know everyone that actually has scratches on their screen? I can't recall the last time I polled everyone that I encounter with "Hey buddy, do you have any scratches on your screen? Now sign here so I can use this anecdotal evidence in my next online debate..."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tuktukscotty:
I have 2 note 10.1's here. One has had a screen protector on since day 1 and the other hasn't. The one without one has got a scratch on the screen about half inch long. I do not know how this scratch happened, the note was always put in its neoprene case when not in use. I don't notice any difference between picture quality on either device and apart from swapping the tip of the pen for the white one, the screens work just the same on either device. The only one thing I will say is, the one without the screen protector on shows up smudges alot more than the one with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Riki1kenobi:
True that I don't know everyone with a scratch on their screen, BUT I DO KNOW everyone I know, hence the reason why I put most of the people I KNOW :rolleyes:

So much intense opinion over screen protectors.

I'm in the yes camp. Moko invisible protector works great. No performance degredation whatsoever and can't even see that it is there other than the circles around the camera and sensor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] dnoren:
I used to use screen protectors on all of my devices. When gorilla glass came out I stopped. They are nearly impossible to apply perfectly and all they do is waste the $$$ you could have spent on a good case. Even on phones I see no benefit. I carry my phone in my pocket and have never scratched the screen. I've seen people with some pretty ugly bubbly scratchy screen protectors though.

Of course this is just my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Axel_:
Indeed, having a bubbly screen protector on your new phone is like buying a brand new Mercedes and wrap it in plastic foil. Sure, it will protect it from getting scratched but not without looking ridiculous and prevent you from using it properly (the rubbery feeling one get from most protectors ruins all the work the companies bring to make touchscreens with less friction). And by the time you remove the plastic, chances are you are tired on your phone anyway and will buy a new one even though you don't have any scratches on the old one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] xm41907:
I'm using MiniGuard Matte Anti-Glare screen protector and am quite pleased with it so far. It's not as bad at blurring the image as many other matte protectors are. I switched the tip of my s-pen to the all white tip and with this protector, it gives a good replication of writing on paper. Writing marks are occurring on it, but I think each one should hold up a good couple of months before I'll want to replace it. Three for $10 isn't bad at all for protecting the screen for hopefully a good six months or longer.

As got bubbles, I have three tiny bubbles, but they are all on the border, and don't get in the way of viewing. If you take your time, and do it in a dust free environment (I suggest a bathroom after taking a shower, so the steam knocks down any dust), then you can generally apply them easily with little to no bubbles.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Ailin:
Has anyone reapplied a screen protector?

I have one screen protector on (and it is horrifying). I am thinking of reapplying a new one at some point but I am worried that removing the current screen protector might damage the glass? :confused: Anyone has removed a screen protector before? Or is there any precaution I should take?

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] xm41907:
Unless it is one that uses glue, it should come right off without leaving any residue. I thorough cleaning might be in order, depending on the type of protector, but it shouldn't be trouble.

Does anyone have an idea where to get the stickers like the one sown above (which is for a galaxy note). They should be avaiable because the stickers are already used in the official charging back covers.

anyone any clue if they will be made avaiable soon by some third party?
[Nokia Lumia 820] danchar4:
Why not just try one of the generic made-in-China ones available on ebay or alibaba?

Its the Qi standard, so as long as you match up the solder pads properly it will just work - doesn't matter that its made for a Samsung.

Typically you need to buy 100+ quantity from alibaba-listed companies, but if you setup a website or ebay store to make yourself look like a volume importer, you can request samples and can get 1-2 units at a time :)

The phone just needs to be compatible with the Qi standard like the 820 is. More info here:

The sticker itself produces enough power to charge the battery no additional hardware required... It's charging with 700 mAh

You only need to connect sticker to the right connectors... so you will need some wires..

You can buy them on ebay...

[Nokia Lumia 820] flyingdreamz:
When you meter the wireless charging case you get going from the phone left to right -,-,?,+

What it appears to be is the outer of the four contacts is power from the shell to the phone. The inner is signal from the phone to the shell to let the charger know its full.

I have attached a picture to show the outer connectors from the prospective of the wireless shell. Maybe this may help, I have been thinking about doing this as well, I just haven't found a Qi pad I like and good way to support it in the shell.

wireless charging without a charging cover

has any one tried this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc-o8qQBPSg doesn't look to hard
[Nokia Lumia 820] flyingdreamz:
I have been working on this for a while with the 820, its harder to take the stock Qi pad from lets say a S3 or S4 then just to buy the 25 buck charging case. That being said I was too cheap, So I spent 18 bucks on a QI pad, had my original black case milled out to put in a Carbon Fiber insert and then mounted everything on top of that. However in my hast, I totally forgot that Carbon Fiber is 1. a conductor and 2. it pretty much is an RF blocker. So now after spending like 30 bucks on something in my head I thought would look cool it turned out to be not functional. I had to then buy a new black case for like 9 bucks on Ebay, to start the project over again.

By the way, no phone company would make a phone with real Carbon Fiber. 1. its about 100 dollars per sq foot and 2. your signal will be worse then the iPhone 4 when you held it the "wrong way".

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlestr1k3:
Hi Guys,

I just bought the Motorola Razr I and noticed a problem:

If I try to take a picture with the LED-flash at around 50% or less battery remaining the following happens:

The flash lights up, first a bit darker and then as the camera captures the pictrue the flash is very bright (like it should be),

but then I receive a popup where it says "shutting down" because of low battery and in the status bar you see that the battery is empty.

After a reboot, all is working again, the batterystatus gets displayed as usual, but the photo wasn't taken.

A friend of mine assumed, that the LED-Flash consumes much power and at the time when it is bright it consumes much voltage so the volt-level is maybe too low?

Am I the only one with this problem?

Greetings,

Battlestr1k3
