Remapping

I found a button remapper program Here on XDA . I used it with sucess. You can also do some editing to a system file if you would like. I can point you in the right direction....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464

Download and install

ButtonRemapper v0_2.4.1.apk

If that doesn't help let me know i can edit the file you need to be able to do what you want. Which hardware key do you want to use to do this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
What's the file you edit and where is it located?

Do you just edit it with a text editor or something special required?

Use a text editor and make sure you have root permissions.

Key 248 should be the unusable camcorder button.

Incoming call answer

I am completely happy with my Amaze - just lacking one important for me feature.. to be able answering incoming calls with a phone hardware button.. I tried this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kigate.EZbutton&hl=en but couldn't get it working with VOLUME_UP button.. the VOLUME buttons anyway kept muting the ring during incoming calls instead of answering them..

Any help or an idea?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I haven't used that one. I found Buttonmapper and was able to change some of the buttons. I posted a link to the forum as well.

You can edit the file that I spoke of in the previous posts as well.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron.K:
Im really sorry if im spamming forms but i have gone into panic mode i have just successfully rooted my device and as from the title says it was encrypted and the password i set to unlock the encryption dose not work now.

i dont know much about android and before any one says i should of read up about it first i did, i read a form that said it would work as long as i back up all my data first which i did and now im locked out of my phone.

the questions i have are;

1. Is there any thing i can do to reset this?

2. would the password reset its self and if so what would it reset as?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSpeced:
1. no

2. no

It's called encryption for a reason. Wipe data in recovery and you can return to using the phone.

Rooting shouldnt magically change the password.

Does the SPen scratch the Zagg Invisible Shield non HD / HD?

There's also a good option here:

Protects the screen and back. Seems a good option since a case makes ur phone looks too big. (... lol ...)

I just installed a SGP Ultra Crystal and I'm in love. After using a JLG that popped up off the screen when it had an unknown pact with something in my sleep, I needed a replacement. I did have to pull the SGP up to take out 3 dust particles but now I have a 100% perfect install and it looks and feels amazing. Very clear and very slick. Not to mention the SGP comes with 2 protectors, I'm a very happy camper.

just like glass screen protector

installed the just like glass screen protector and so far i'm really liking it. the wet application really helps to reduce the bubbles as well as aiding in alignment. feels...just like glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
I used JLG and there is smth that i didn't like about it. you'll never know whether you have dust or specks of whatever not until it is already too late to do anything about it. the biz owner do not recommend for users to peel of the screen protector to removed those specks of dust, but instead buy a new one from him at 50% off. so, i swapped to Tank Protection screen protector. as i couldn't stand the speck of dirt under the screen protector. usually i get lint under the protector but specks of squarish dust is too much. my first time trying a wet application type.

installation was a breeze with the tank protector, had it aligned right at one go. imho, i find it equally clear, equally smooth and much easy to get it right in one try. hence, it is also cheaper for somebody like me, who lives outside of the US.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] royalh:
I was able to lift mine up to remove dust and then respray it so it would adhere again.. no problems so far... iirc, the instructions say that its not recommended but if you do, use tape to remove specks.

SGP Ultra Crystal

* Included in one box - 2 x screen protectors, 4 x anti-dust stickers (for picking up dust), 1 x microfibre cloth and 1 x serial number sticker (yes, I know).

* Application was easy, and fit is quite good, leaving around 1mm gap around the edges. Suitable for cases with lips (no overlap or lifting when using with Seidio Surface).

* Material itself is very smooth, and extremely clear. Basically looks and feels like factory. Extremely satisfied with the result, no distortion whatsoever. I've used dozens of screen protectors over the years on various phones, and this is the first time I've splurged over the no-name eBay brands (some of which had rainbow effects, scratched easily, or had terrible fitment).

* Cost around $15 off eBay for the pack of two.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] le_lutin:
I thought your reviews were excellent. Do you have the text of them so you can post it up again?

Btw, I currently have a Just Like Glass on mine, but there was a dent or glob of glue or something in it (it's not a dust speck as it's not the right shape for that) right in the middle of the screen. I applied the JLG about 6 weeks ago and to be honest, that dent (and to a lesser extent, the rainbowing) have been annoying me ever since.

Just bought a pack of iSmooths this morning which I hope will be do the job. Under £10 delivered from the states to the UK. Not a bad deal for 3 protectors

Cellet Screen Guard

I have been using the Cellet Screen Guard for about a week now, a brand I haven't seen anything about here before. I picked it up because it was the only one they carried at Fry's for the Note 2. It is the rigid film type. It went on very easily (I am usually no good at installing these), with no bubbles or any other problem. The packaging says "scratch resistance" and so far that has proven to be true. It is very clear, hard and smooth, and the spen does not leave any marks on it. The only problem is that it does smudge and pick up fingerprints easily, but they wipe right off with a microfiber cloth.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rawdikrik:
Awww... thanks! I just really hoped my reviews helped someone choose what they wanted, even if it was something that I wasn't fond of.

I spoke to the mods and they are hoping to carry over the good reviews, so hopefully they will carry my reviews over and bring them to this thread.

I didnt save any of my review text from before (Lesson Learned) so I am really hoping the mods can bring my posts/threads back. I would at least like to copy them down somewhere else.

Ive changed the format of my reviews and should have a few more for this thread, along with 2 bumper and 2 case reviews.

I just got the iSmooth in the mail today after the nightmare known as JLG.

All I can say is Dayyyyyummmm!

It had everything I was looking for..

-great price

-swag included (excellent silk screen wipe)

-3 protectors!

-excellent cuts

-great adhesion

-ismooth is smooth... Both for fingers and Spen

-crystal clear

-easy install with directions with an offer for another free one with an Amazon review

-lifetime warranty, even if you mess up the install yourself

The install was so easy, so perfect, I felt like I was cheating :D

Not 1 bubble, or mark, or dust, or rainbow steaks (that will "dissappear" in 3-5 days like some companies claim... But 1/2 the time do not)

Not sure else what to say. Just an overall excellent experience.

+1 to iSmooth

BoxWave Clear Touch Anti glare screen protector

I just got my BoxWave Clear Touch Anti glare screen protector and installed it. Note I have never installed a screen protector before but I have read the horror stories.

I decided to install one on my Note 2 because I wanted it to change the feel of writing on glass to make it more like paper.

My wife has installed several screen protectors and some were ok and some were murder to install. The BoxWave Clear Touch Anti glare screen protector was so easy to install and quite forgiving.

I cleaned the phone screen with my clear screen wipes I use for my laptop drying it with a micro fiber cloth. Then wiped it with the cloth they provided, but did not use their cleaning wipes (saved them for later). I started and had trouble getting it to stay aligned as I removed the backing (65 with shaking hands) so after getting about and inch and a half from the corner I took it off. Then got some tape and taped it in place in 2 spots. Then started removing the backing again. Real smooth.

When done I saw I had a couple pieces of dust under the screen protector so I tried to lift it with some tape. No way :D it was really stuck and the tape would just come off. So I tried with my fingernail and the corner came up. I just grabbed it with my thumb and finger (worried about contaminating the back) used some tape wrapped around my finger, to remove the dust. Put the corner back down used the cardboard they provided wrapped in the cloth they provided to push out the air bubbles and done.

It's not truly straight and one edge is too far to the side and may not stick well due to curve of the glass but so far it looks good and really helps with the feel of the pen. Quite pleased and because of the deal from slickdeals I have 2 more and only spent $3.00. Note it does not change the colors nor does it have any color bands at angles. I does reduce the brightness a tiny and I mean tiny bit.

+more for iSmooth. As much as I dig their original screen protector currently being shipped from Amazon:

They are sampling a new ultra-clear anti-fingerprint one which should start shipping officially once the stock of "green" ones run out. I would like to point out the new "clear" one is:

- thicker (on par with 3H thickness of Spigen and MobC) and super strong

- ultra-clear, no color distortion, no tint

- no rainbow effect (even under fluorescent lights)

- no issues using s-pen even applying extra pressure

- an improved cut, especially around home button

- super smooth, feels like glass

- covers visible part of the screen, while living enough edge margin for any case lip

I'm attaching a few edge shots of the new protector. Keep in mind its thickness relative to the phone. The edges are rounded and very smooth. After testing half a dozen of other cheaper and brand new screen protectors, this one is a keeper for me!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mingkee:
Is iSmooth oleophobic?

I found it does nice job fending off excessive grease and it can be wiped clean easily.

It's too early to tell the ability to resist the scratches though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 2545:
I received my ismooth last night. It was fairly easy to apply and I had absolutely no dust. However, the top edge has a very slight lift and has not seated perfectly like the rest of the three sides. I hope that it does not lift up from the screen or trap dusts over time. I also noticed a very obvious snakes of rainbow effect especially near florescent lights. It sounds like this is normal and will go away in few days?

Has anyone done a scratch tests on ismooth?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
What's the consensus on the Spigen Ultra Crystal vs Oleophobic? I'd value clarity over anything else, so I know what common sense says, but I've heard the oleophobic is very very clear as well. Anyone?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chriswhiz:
I'd still choose Ultra Crystal over the Oleophobics and Ultra Optics ones, specifically because for me it offers the best clarity. Only downside is you have to have a microfiber fabric ready at all times.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ungraph:
I just order a pack of iSmooth screen protectors. I'll be receiving my Note 2 sometime next week, will post an update!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Opacac:
I received my iSmooth today. I do see some slight rainbow effects as mentioned by 2545, do not know what is going on her, hopefully it will go away in a few days. It was easy to apply and I have no bubbles, but I do have some slight lift near the earpiece. Might ask for some extra protectors as I have used all 3 already, must be one of the worst screen protector installers in the world lol...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] incteh:
I have been using SGP ultra optics, works perfectly for me, no fingerprints and stuff. downside is, there is slide discoloration.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chriswhiz:
I assume you mean "slight" when you typed "slide"?

Anyway no discolorations for me whatsoever. Although im quite curious as to where you see discolorations

Just giving a shout out to Best Skins Ever. This was my 3rd order with them (so I know what Im doing). I applied the front and back skins to my GNote 2 and a couple of days later the bottom left front corner started bubbling. I tried reapplying with solution but still wouldnt stick. I emailed them about it and theyre replacing it. Shipped it out same day they got my email. Great customer service backing up a great product.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:

Clear Protector

The screen protectors I personally like are the Clear Protectors from clearprotector.com

This screen protector is similar to Zagg's Invisible Shield, a solution based screen protector. We have sold these within our sprint by evolution in wireless store since I have been here for the last 2 years.

What I like:

Thinner than Zagg's Invisible Shield

Less sticky feeling than Zagg's Invisible shield or Skinomi's Clear Protector

I use the S-Pen regularly and over time the impressions work their way out to where I do not notice them anymore.

What I don't Like:

Depending on the case it can be pushed up (but it can be easily fixed)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rich250:
I'm currently using the android central Lloyd screen protector HD clear and I'm having real good luck with it not lifting.I Like the iSmooth but had trouble with them lifting(yes they are the newest version) with my seido case.they did send me 6 replacements though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eduardmc:
Must have not clean the sceen conner real well. My ismooth have cure and sealed like a water base screen protector. Ismooth has been the best protector i hav use and customer services is the best. Bought the 3 pack and already sent me six extra protector. I have a total of 9. Leave a review in amazon and they send u for free.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rich250:
No screen was clean but my pack of protectors came with a slight kink on the bottom left corner and they kept lifting there, I did the amazon review and got my free protectors but they must have been the first version because they where junk they are even cut out different then the ones I bought. ISmooth did send me 6 replacements for my trouble though, which is awesome but right now the Lloyd protector is doing great, but when it gets beat I will try the iSmooth again.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Macklessdaddy:
Just installed my Clarivue protector and I don't understand how anybody could find a fault with this thing,so far it is very scratch resistant and clear as heck and no peeling or anything
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Crushader:
Just got myself a SGP Spigen Ultraoptic, it's amazing. I used it before on iPhone 4 but didnt like it, it was very stripy and lots of interference in display. But it seems they improved it! It's barely noticeable to see the lines anymore and very smooth, less finger print. But downside is its somewhat hard to see under direct sunlight.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
+1 for Clarivue

I love mine too! However recently mines developed some kind of oily patch on it. I can remove it with a microfibre cloth but at an angle it can still be seen. It's invisible under certain angles and doesn't affect the screen at all so I'm at a loss as to what it can be. I reckon the Oleo coating might already be coming off. I've only had it a few weeks though. I've raised a ticket with Clarivue and so far they've been responsive however I need to send them a close up shot of the area before they ascertain to what it could be.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ludester:
which protector(s) go right to the edge?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ungraph:
Alright so I got my iSmooth shipped a coupled of days ago.

I have tonnes of experience applying screen protectors so it was a breeze, no bubbles, dust or anything. As far as the cutout goes, they're very precise. I've noticed that it's not as oleo phobic as they describe themselves to be. There's some rainbowing definitely going on and I find myself wiping the screen with the microfiber cloth it came with every half an hour or so. Other than that, I'll be putting the lifetime warranty to test once this one scratches up.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
I'm in contact with them right now about the lifting issues around the edges. I'll post when they resolve the issue
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
Well after a few emails and close up photos of the issue I had with my protector (which is very very minor and only visible once there's ALOT of finger mark grease on the screen) they decided to replace my protector free of charge.

Very good customer service imo. With regards to the lifting issues you really need to do it in a 0% dust or close to no dust environment the edges on mine are very good not perfect but I don't think any protector is 100% perfect on the edges unless it's a wet application.

Attached pic is what my Clarivue XT Glass looks like on my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
My install is perfect with no dust at all. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to screen protectors. I've got about an eighth of an inch around the border that isn't sticking down. I've never had any problems with dry application protectors sticking. I've received a response from them basically saying it is normal because of the "extreme curve if the screen" and offering to refund my money or send me plastic protectors. Personally not very happy with their response.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DaBountyHunter:
I reckon that's dust. Mine was like that when I first applied it. I couldn't see ANY dust but go to see this protector attracts micro dust from the air. It's a static magnet. After I took it off I applied that brown parcel tape covering the whole back, and took it off. I did this a few times then the final time I did it I reapplied the protector when in my bathroom after running the shower. That's when I finally got the edges I wanted.

I'd give it one more go as I described above otherwise better to just get a refund to be honest.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] crzycrkr:
Definitely not dust in any way shape or form. I've done dozens if not over 100 screen protectors before, including glass. This is a perfect install. It's just not staying down on the edges all the way around. In their email they mention the "extreme curve of the screen." Sounds like a flat out excuse to me since the only curve is at the edge of the glass. I'm going to try to get a replacement and if not I'll send it back and get a refund and try a different brand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rich250:
One thing I seem to notice with screen protectors on this phone is that if you have to lift them for any reason during the install it's gonna lift around the edges eventually, went through two of the Lloyd protectors that lifted but both of those I had to lift during the install, the third one I installed using the idiot proof install and this one is not lifting at all and my seido case even touches right up against the edge of the protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
So after trying 2 different glass protectors and 4 different films I'm back to SGP Ultra Optics. The ease of install, clarity, and quality are just hard to beat.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ro@dkill:
I have the SGP ultra crystal right now but I might have to try the ismooth they look pretty sweet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I have the Fosmon anti glare screen protector. It's not that great in sunlight but it's pretty good indoors. The matte finish doesn't bother me and I don't have smudges on my screen. It was like $3 shipped.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
iSmooth all the way!!! Was trying a new aluminum case a few days ago, the one with a separate frame-bumper and a sliding top cover frame, and that sliding part turned out to be very tight, to the point that if it wouldn't be for iSmooth - I would definitely end up scratching my glass. Their material is so tough (3H rated) - I only see a faint hairline scratch. Always gives me a piece of mind between my UAG case and iSmooth screen protector. Been using it for a long time, no edge lifting anywhere and feels smooth like a glass, Also, fingerprints wipe off easily.
