[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Yes. You should probably read some guides. This is a basic question that has been asked over and over and over and over and...... you get the point. Look in General at the stickies.

What restore? What are you trying to accomplish, exactly? are you trying to just upgrade to JB and retain all data/etc?

Do you mean you will no longer have CWM recovery after updating? If so, then yes, this is true. You will have the Samsung stock recovery image after updating, until you install a kernel that has a permanent CWM recovery image in it.

I don't even know what you're asking here. If you're asking if you have to install Siyah kernel before upgrading to JB, no, not necessarily. It might be a good idea if your phone has a eMMC chip susceptible to the brick bug, AND you're currently on a 4.0.4 firmware from Samsung. If either one of those conditions is NOT true, then you don't have to worry about it.

He asked if he'll have to flash siyah, as in mandatory.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwinvr:
You know my idea is:

backup all the information with CWM ( i did)

Update to 4.1.2 via ODIN (no yet)

After update to 4.1.2 and i dont like jb (or maybe i have a problem), i want to go back to 4.0.4 how can i restore my old backup???

The update will delete CWM? If the update delete CWM is possible to reinstall it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Ok, this was NOT clear in your first post whatsoever.

Yes, if you update to 4.1.2, the update will remove CWM recovery. To restore your old 4.0.4 backup if you are dissatisfied with 4.1.2, you should:

- re-flash 4.0.4 via Odin

- then re-flash the same version of Siyah you had while you were on 4.0.4 previously (to get CWM recovery back)

- then boot to CWM recovery, and restore.

Then you should be back where you were before you updated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Why would he need to flash 4.0.4 again via ODIN? Thats just a waste of time and not needed. He can simply flash Siyah in ODIN, reboot into recovery and flash his backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I suggested it for maximum compatibility, in case he doesn't boot into recovery. Chances are good he would boot loop in that scenario, and it takes (wastes) just a minute or so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwinvr:
There a manual to how to restore a cwm backup with odin?

I search without results

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You found no results because you can't do what you're asking for. Odin flashes .tar packages. CWM backups are not .tar packages.

This video helped me with the protector. Posted it and have had it about a week. It's kinda similar to another glad protector out there. I love it. The clarity is amazing and the finger flow on the glass is great. U do have to wipe the smudges off after a bit but no biggie. The function of the S pen is great. It was a concern for me but as soon as I got it on the S pen was the first thing I tried and no problems.

I've gone through a couple other protectors because I use the S pen a lot and hated the marks left on the screens so paying the $30 didn't concern me. The only thing I have issue with us that at the edges it looks like it's not fully connected but it is. Don't really notice it unless I focus on it but all in all a great protector for someone like me that was looking for something that was sturdy and didn't leave marked when u use the pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xcoldricex:
thanks for the review - ordering and seeing how it goes...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] artofwar:
Did you buy an add-on home button? Did the screen protector make it harder to press the home button since it is much thicker. Is there very much Loss of touch sensitivity?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pgreeny69:
+1 on this question
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] M2Iceman:
No I didn't buy the home button. It's a bit recessed but it's not bad and I don't have any problems with turning on the phone. So fast no loss in touch sensitivity, I love this protector. I wanted a protector like this for a long time and now that it is I'm happy. A lot of smudges but a quick wipe and clear as anything.

I ordered another one for my wife and it seems the order is delayed. I haven't heard anything from the company but my last order took 4 days to get to me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MEGA23:
Would this protector work with an Otterbox Defender Case? And do any of you guys have a pic of it installed on your note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] soulesschild:
Yes pictures please! :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] M2Iceman:
If u take a look at the video it give u an idea of what it looks like on. I'll have to take pics this weekend to post.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
When I order mine I don't remember any where you could order a add on button. But one thing for sure you have to be patient when you order. It took 7 days before they even sent it out. Will be here on Monday. Can't wait.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Afishl1:
I ordered this:

m-protectors/glaz-tempered-glass-protector_190_en.html?pb=71&pc=20

But kind of wishing I had seen the Mime as it looks like it might be better and I like the fact that it comes with those other screen protectors to put on top of it(but looks like they may not be including those anymore?).

Haven't received it yet, so may try to cancel if possible.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] M2Iceman:
The purple protector is actually a static cleaner. You use it after using the cleaner to take off any lint or scrap that might be on the screen just before adding the glass screen so its clean and no items. My second one is taking a bit longer to get but received en email from Mime today letting me know that it has been shipped and should arrive shortly. My wife will soon enjoy the protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Afishl1:
Just to clarify, I meant I might try to cancel the other company's product that I had ordered (which I think was a pre-order).

Hi

Is this what it looks like, this is the one I have and I'm like you very happy with it.

If you want me to remove this post just let me know, since it's not actually the mime protector.

This is what it looks like on my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] M2Iceman:
Yeah, saw your post in another thread and yes thats exactly what it looks like. Im wondering if companies are getting them from one source and selling them as thier own. Anyone wanting to see what it looks like this is what it looks like.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
Thats what i'm thinking of, if this is true, then this one I have is telling the truth, at least is stated korean design and made in china, whiles the mime say it's made in the USA.

I actually ordered a spare one and received it, when I posted this in another thread, and during the installation there was a bubble that will not go away, even when I removed this protector a few time, I though it was a uneven glass, and suddenly it turned into a like a oily patch like rainbow effect, and thought it was just my sample, well just last week, it gone away, so now I have a spare one.

Don't get me wrong my spare one is not for sale, so please don't PM me.

I'm really happy with this and at a price i paid, can't really fault it, and a highly recommended product, whether it's my chinese version or the mime branded version.

I received my glass screen protector from mime. I have two issues. One on the top and botton corners on the left side does not adhere on the corner edges and the second issue is that I have these very small like bubbles in random places that I can get out. I have applied and re applied and still get them in random places. Anyway besides that the screen seems to been good quality.

Vectron, can you comment on the Seidio Vitreo with the Seidio Combo case? I'm leaning that way on my note 2 and wondered how close the edges of the vitreo were to the edges of the combo case. I'm planning on the full rubber case most of the time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ghostcamed302:
Has anyone tried any Glass SP with the Otterbox Defender? Im looking at getting one just want to make sure it works good.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Oh, I'm sure MIME guys reading this thread will like people posting comments about competitive product lol!!! To answer your question it's 100% compatible, all Seidio product designed to inter-work together and as a matter of fact their page for Vitreo states that glass is fully compatible with Surface, Active, and Convert cases. Vitreo width is right at the edge of your visible part of LCD screen. No case (doesn't matter which brand) will cover the visible part of the screen, thus you are safe.

Regarding something like Otterbox Defender, I'm not so sure because inner plastic shell interlocks and your have plastic built in screen protector and all that edging around it.

Got mine yesterday and installed it at night. Took my time to make sure there was the last possible amount of dust on the screen. Then put it on and squeezed out most bubbles. There were some left but they wouldn't go away immediately so I went to sleep and when I woke up I just squeezed them out. No bubbles and fits perfectly on my UAG case. I love it. This thing is like a tank now.

mime has great customer service by email. mime is also monitor this forum and others. they want their customers to have a good product. mime knew about my problems and they contacted me to try the new design gratis.

i still have my mime on the note II. it has a great feel to it and works very well with the stylus

i have a dozen or so tiny bubbles and the lower right corner did not adhere well. it has not moved but upon inspection, it is clearly visable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I gotta give a shout out to Mime. They read about my problems and sent out a new redesigned product for free. Skeptical, I pulled off my trusty SGP Ultra Crystal to try it out. It's much narrower now and just covers the side edges of the screen. It played down perfectly with a tiny spot above the power button not all the way down but you don't notice unless looking at it in a light reflection. In short, I'm very impressed with the product and very impressed with the company. Glass is so nice compared to plastic to type on :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MizT:
I tried Clarivue from the other thread but I ended up with lots of light scratches all over the screen with less than a week's usage. Can you share any pictures of the new redesigned product? The website doesn't have much in terms of photographs..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
So what your saying give ut some time to see what happens. I still don't understand how everything but the top and bottom left corners don't adhere but everything else adhered without any issues. I'll give a few more days.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
the whole glass has adhesive, not just the rim.

not too sure about the top bottom part you mention, but the bubble should go away.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pgreeny69:
I received mine today and just finished installing it about an hour ago. So far I'm pretty pleased. I have a few small air bubbles as well and hope they go away within a few days.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
Wow, got mine today took about 5 minutes to take my old sp off clean and set it up.

Nice box protective and very little bubbles. Kind of pricey but I personally like it.

Not sure what kind of customer support it has but easiest installation ever.

I spend a lot of $ on sp and cases this one rates as a great addition.

:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xfaega:
MIME customer service is top notch. They read that I had a problem and sent me a email regarding my issue. I have yet to have any other company do this. It shows that they stand behind there product and customer satisfaction is a top priority. Know this I will be buying more products from them with confidence.

Thanks MIME
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
Wait a few weeks for bubbles to start going away, or you can try to rub them away after a few days or after a few weeks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
The edge of the glass is beveled smooth and not noticeable. I think jlg sort of stops at the edge, and I think this is what the reviewer was trying to say.

This is the first sp I have used that I really can't tell I am using anything.

Naked is better. :cool:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xcoldricex:
Also just got mine today. Installation was straightforward and not very difficult. I was disappointed to see that an extra normal screen protector is no longer included in the box... in the event something goes wrong with the glass one. (I had read in a review that this was included and your next screen protector would be half off). The s pen works well although I have to admit I didnt use the pen much before putting ithe mime protector on. It doesn't cover the entire screen area- just falls short of where the otterbox commuter starts.

It feels way better than the screen protector that came with the otterbox. Happy with the purchase so far!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eazyduzit:
Just got mine today! Thus far I think it looks and feels good. I do have a couple little bubbles on the inside but, hopefully they go away. Also, I got a personalized note in my box did anyone else get one too?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Personalized note? What is this about?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eazyduzit:
It was a handwritten note. Nothing crazy. Just saying that they hope that the glass protector gets to me safely. Just a really nice gesture!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] artofwar:
Anyone knows how does one remove this type of glass protectors, and if so, was it difficult to do so?

Anyone also find a need for a home button add-on ?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] antonioeram:
I have got the mime glass protector. looks great on the device. perfect fit.

the only thing a bit strange is the way the button feels since is now flanked by the glass. I guess this will pass

Since now my NOTE has mime glass, wireless charging and magic sim (dual sim) it feels a LOT heavier. but for whatever reason I like it better.

probably since I am not considering a phone but more like a tablet/computer. let me know if you want pictures
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
Almost a copy of mine, glass sp, wireless charging, triple sim, oh, you also need the aluminum button.:p

thank you
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] premiatul:
I got mine 2 days ago and I really love it.

The only problem is that it hits my case edges and would raise up

on the sides.

So, I installed it slightly to the right so the case will be over the edge and

the left side is up to the case, without raising it.

It is great! It is not "like glass"....it IS glass!

I do highly recommend it if you want a "naked" feel but with

added protection.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thethirdeye:
I'm torn between this and the clarivue, does anyone have opinions on which one might be better
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
IMO, as long as you don't have the issues that other glass protectors have had on curved screens like touch sensitivity getting really bad at the edges or the protector taking the device screen with it if you try to remove it, I don't think anything can compare to them. The glass protectors are excellent. Nice smooth feel and such. I had one on my Galaxy Nexus, and loved it, except that touch sensitivity got crappy. Particularly at the edges of the protector, which really sucked as the buttons were there, so menu/back/etc were nearly useless. It sounds like some of the manufacturers are figuring out how to get around that, so hopefully there will be some options soon. I'm waiting for a few weeks worth of reviews to decide, personally. Those that already have one, please post after a few weeks of use.

My JLG will do fine for now. But if a good option comes out for a glass protector, I'm very interested. I just don't want to get burned again with one that starts out good but kills the ability to actually USE the device after a while. :)

Don't be afraid to take it off as many times as you need to, the glue is very good.

I took mine off about 5-6 times until I got it right. Just lay it on the screen in the position that suits you and press a finger in the middle, then gently start rubbing toward the sides. You will have no bubbles at the end.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
If you have to remove dust from the protector, just use strips of scotch tape on the sticky sides, the tapes will just peel off not affecting the adhesive.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
I have it installed on my phone.

Installation is rather easy, but make sure your working area is clean to reduce hassle.

The protector can be bent a bit, but it is not recommend to do it.

Take your time to wipe clean the screen and use the dust removal (the purple one) or Dust-Off when necessary.

After aligning, slighly press from the center and use your thumb to wipe from center to the edge. If you see bubble, you can press it until it's gone, or pry up a bit and slightly press the bubble out.

Now mine has a problem, it appears the edge of the protector does not stick on and it leaves space around the screen.

This is what was in the box when you open it.
