[Java for Android App Development] Rotary Heart:
Well my best idea is to let the user know that your app needs to run the service, so he shouldn't kill it with any task manager. I use root with this code:

try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream DOS = new DataOutputStream(proc.getOutputStream());
//write what you want to send to it here. Example:
DOS.writeBytes("ls /data/data/");
DOS.flush();
DOS.close();
proc.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
At first I did it that way, too. One bad thing with this solution is that everytime you execute a command it will ask for permission again and there will be a new Toast message. If your app has to execute commands multiple times, keeping the shell open is more performant. That is the advantage of roottools.

Have I been DUPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sent $365 ($350+$15 for SH) in Money Order to this guy and 4 days after aknowledging reciept of the money, he has stopped communicating. His PM is unreplied, his e-mail is unanswered and even he has refused to answer to his AIM instant messenger though he is seen to be logged on. I'm wondering if I have been duped. Luckilly I have some of the details about him that I will post once it becomes obvious that he has duped me. Please help me contact him. What I paid him amounted to a month salary in NIGERIA.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ddevilx2:
it was sent out - I put your email into the fedex system when it was shipped to supposedly keep you updated. I will PM you that tracking # right now - I just got notice that there was a PM here. Sorry, and it was not 4 days after I received the money order, but I'm not going to get picky. It is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] abbas:
RE

NO INTENTION TO EMBARRAS YOU. My sister said you confirmed receipt of money Monday and that you will post the item Tuesday and that she will be informed once that is done. I sent a mail to you, i left a pm and sent an instant message with no reply. My sister too said she had been unable to contact you. You can then understand my apprehension, sorry for the noise but i'm sure everybody here understand.

Do I really need a case ?

What quality are materials used for back camera glass (will it scratch), back and silver borders?

Will the phone scratch in above places, by jsut keeping it in clean pocket or on table ?

I am considering case-mate tough case (prolly only good case available in Poland)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Its not as durable as an iphone I would say. If it had real metal for the bezel you could go by without a case. The metallic bezel scratches easily on this one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] c0nvict:
And how about the camera glass? Does it scratch easily?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ibleedbloo:
For me the biggest benefit of a case is more traction in my hand. This freaking thing is slippery without a case!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I've never read a post regarding a scratched camera glass, however the screen will most certainly scratch and it WILL shatter on impact, that much is clear from these forums.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
I would have to politely disagree. The iPhone has a poor design in terms of durability. The screen (glass) goes all the way to the edge of the phone, meaning its corner is exposed. This is a bad thing because no matter how durable glass is, a simple hit in its corner will surely crack it.

For example You can take a hammer to a shower door and give it a slight smack on its surface without breaking. However, give it a slight wack on its corner and the WHOLE thing will shatter. This explains how glass as durable as gorilla glass is capable of cracking.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Completely disagree. As another poster said, iphones shatter way more thanks to the edges of the glass being highly exposed to impacts.

But as to the OP's questions, why would you NOT protect such an expensive investment?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
Oh I should have stated that by DURABLE I meant can withstand everyday wear and tear. For concern of droppage, youd want cases protecting both phones.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Do you like playing Russian roulette? :D Unless you have insurance plan with your carrier or somewhere else ($10 a month or something like SqTd for $100, and deductible which could end up being anywhere $100-$200), I would invest in a decent $20-$40 case.

Plenty of posts in this and other forums about people shattering the glass when dropped even with tpu case or other slim plastic cases. Battery door scratch or camera glass scratch will be your least worries when you drop your phone and see a spider web going across your screen from the corner. If you want just additional grip, slim case will do it. But for drop protection you need something beefier with a bumper/lip for protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Then Case recommendations please :D

otterbox commuter

case-mate tough (europe version)

or UAG ... but with this one I would need some instruction on how to ship stuff to Poland. I never bought abroad
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Either of those would be fine. Check out link in my signature for all the cases I have tested/reviewed in this forum. Since it sounds like you don't want too much bulk, for a basic everyday use Tough would be an excellent choice with SURFACE being right behind it. If you are more paranoid and will be using your phone outdoors - UAG is great. If you doing heavy duty construction work outside, CONVERT or Defender will do it. If you want to make bling-bling statement, go with aluminum bumper and fancy carbon fiber battery cover ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
I'm using two cases now: a UAG for when I'm at work and a Seido Snap case as a general walking around case. Both cases allow me to hide an RFID card in them for work access.

The phone itself is too slippery NOT to be in a case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jooosty:
I don't know how you guys are saying this phone is very slippery. Its pretty slick with no case. The matte cases make it more smooth and slippery iMO
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DonSpeedy7:
I strongly recommend you the Samsung Protective Cover +.I think you can find it in online shops from Poland ,or stores like Orange ,Vodafone and so on.I bought it from an online shop from Romania.It's pretty cheap.Fits very well ,had it for 3 months It adds the right amount of bulk.It's like 10,3 mm I think.It has raised borders around the screen ,so if it falls,it won't touch the screen.The back is glossy ,but the sides are offering a great grip

Also doesn't affect S Pen ,NFC ,flash or something else.There are 3 colors available:Black White and Pink.Any of these colors has white borders.Do a google search and you'll see.Ah,forgot to mention:I dropped it one time with the case on,the only thing that happened is that the S Pen went flying.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
I use an invisible shield and that's all. Unless you handle your phone without care, then a case isn't really necessary unless alcohol becomes part of the equation. I have dropped my phone with the flip cover on concrete, to see it slide down the road in pieces. It didn't break nor did it have any drop damage, but I feel if I had a case, the force would have been expelled through the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Samsung protcrive cover + interested me. It is nice. Have rubber raised above screen and is cheaper than others.

Anyone care to share his opinion?

Thanks for all answerws. I am still investigating other cases aswell :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
It was discussed as well before, rubber bumper is good, but the back part will scratch like hell. That was #1 complain about it. Also if you buy it online beware of CH cheap knockoffs.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kench33:
My camera lens actually scratched somehow. Might have been when I accidentally put it in a pocket with my keys but I have never dropped it without a case on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] krolla03:
i dropped mine once on concrete and the screen shattered
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
You are most certainly the exception and should consider yourself lucky... This forum is riddled with people who cracked their screen from minimal falls even while having a case on it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
All it takes is a simple fall to the sweet spot of the corner to crack it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] morbidrealities:
LOL...I wouldnt want to find out. Ive hardly ever used a case on my otger phones but, with this big bastard I wont take the chance. I bought a cheap but, surprisingly great case called the Ionic Guardian. Similar to a Ballistic case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sloopdawgg:
Within the first week of owning the N2, I dropped it on hardwood floors and it left a very small scuff on the plastic chrome lining on the phone. It's almost impossible to see but the fall was only on hardwoods. Since then I've gotten a case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Ok ive got samsung protective Cover plus and I love it. It looks great and have tpu sides for protection. These are also raised above the screen so that's great !!!

Edit; uag just emailed me that they actually ship to poland shipment free .so should I still get one even tho I am happy with what I just got today ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gub:
Keys are made of soft metal and wont scratch glass. I already tried on my phone, it made my friends cringe but it did nothing to the screen or lens cover.

Sand, however, is nasty and is probably the most common cause of scratches.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Btw. On my note 2 i can barely press left up corner od the front inside the silver bezzel for like tenth of milimeter.

Is that normal.

The phone is sturdy and awesome. I just noticed this when pressing newly arrived samsing cover tpu around my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BigBison420:
Not durable lol. This is my 2nd note 2.... dropped it ankle high on tile and it shattered the lcd.... Buy a case!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
So as explained above . Can anyone check if their left corner can be pushed in a little bit?

Also. Top silver speaker can also be pushed in a bit.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Check closely. Front speaker seems to move minimal when you lool at it from an angle and press yout nail on it.

Same with corner to its left. It is barely there tho.

Also. Dust is collecting in corners and around top speaker
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Canadoc:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
Nothing like that here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kalanyon:
depend on the fall

Forgot my phone on the top of my car drove off as it fell to the ground. Had phone fully protected with glass screen Protector by meme and covered with a modded otter box with extended 6200 mah battery by Anker. Here is the damage.The case came completely off. The battery back cover came off the battery came out and the screen protector did its job better than the case but it has a small crack. And the camera glass got scratched for sure. Its plastic not glass. Cost to repair was $20 for new housing. $17 for replacement from meme and 25 for new otterbox. All new again. And less than 100 to claim from asurion.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] majorbgss:
That might just be just a grille that is loosely attached in front of the speaker. More like a cover so lints dont build up in it, unlike iphones.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EvoYas:
I put a nice slim case one when i leave the house. But in my bed i take it out as i like holding it without the case (yes thats what she said) but i would say case is a must for protection. (No pun intended)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] makonja:
You should tottaly get a case. Note 2 is super sensitive, i should lnow, i have a broken front glass for some time now. It fell from 50cm high and it landed on the bottom left edge of the screen. Nasty crack.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
So should I totally jsut get uag even tho I jsut got samsung protective cover + ?

Also. Can anyone comment on "dust".

My N2 seems to be collecting dust on top. Right between silver bezel and glass. how to clean it ? The samsung pc+ tpu dont cover that area.

as above explained.

Green parts can be pushed in a little bit (just BARELY. needs a really good look. I only noticed it when installing and pressing in protective case)

Red area is collecting dust in the gap.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
You may have a defective housing. Still under warranty?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
Well I own it for a week and I dont really think this is a defect. I am jsut asking if someone else noticed those. The device is perfectly fine and looks delicious ! Here are pics of my observations

pictures taken with my old desire z. It now feels soooo small !!!!! (and slow)

Front speaker push in: (barely can be seen)

Dust - after a while I dont think it is dust actually... I think this is a glass border cut being visible(just as around the speaker). Just as plexi when its cut. Can only bee seen in some angle and specific light. Also a pic of "dust" being visible in case. Shame tpu is not 1mm longer, it would cover it.

I dont think I will warranty the phone. They would laugh at my face and I would totally understand them. I think I am just being to paranoid about expensive device I got :silly::silly::silly:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FinancialWar:
you just being paranoid, in two months time, you won't care about how perfect the phone has to be.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kench33:
Use a dust blower like for computers. Mine has dust as well between the glass and housing.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
To clean the dust out use either a wet glasses cleaner wipe and your fingernail in the groove or a qtip dipped in denatured or 91% iso alcohol.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HiCZoK:
I dont think alcohol is a good idea. It will remove the "shine" I think, as of it might matt some plastic materials and varnish.

Anyway. Right -I am just being paranoid paranoid. The topic is done, thanks for answers. I have samsung protective cover+ for now and I am very happy with device and case.

Thanks for help guys ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It won't remove anything. Why do you think they use alcohol wipes to clean glasses? Cuz it doesn't damage the anti glare and anti scratch coatings. You can even submerge electronic parts in alcohol without damaging them to clean them.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:
That's your opinion. It is also my opinion, but I portray it in a much less fanboy-like way in comparision to you. "iFail" is not failing as plenty of people still buy them, and I know several people who prefer the smoothness and simplicity of iOS and couldn't give two ****s about customizing or tweaking around with their phone.

Android fanboys are just as bad as Apple ones, and both groups need to realise it is just a phone and you don't need to "take sides" and argue about irrelevant nonsense.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lmao you realize iOS is no smoother than android right? It's all placebo done by spoofing the codes to make it appear smoother by essentially lying to the enduser. They use screen shots to cover up the app reloading on launch. They completely removed the app crash dialog to make users think they caused the app to close out. They put the UI rendering ahead of everything else to make it feel smoother even tho everything in the background is lagging and force closing silently. And the only thing I'm a "fanboy" of is open source. :rolleyes:

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:
Hey fanboy

Yes, iOS IS smoother and more consistent. Most people do not care about the specifics of it or why that is.

I'm proud of you that you at least admitted iOS is smoother and more fluid than Android, even though your fanboy-ism required you to ramble on about nonsense that most normal people don't care about. Next time someone shows me that iOS is smoother, I'll be sure to point out it is just an illusion.

Oh, and "lmao" to you too. A guy who thinks iOS is not more fluid and smooth and then points out that UI rendering is put ahead of everything else. Make your mind up. I prefer Android over iOS or Win Phones but I don't feel the need to be all defensive and anti Apple. Google, Microsoft and Apple don't give a crap about you or I, so why should I care about brand loyalty.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
:rolleyes: putting UI rendering ahead of actual resources to run the OS does not make it smoother, it only appears to be smoother while the rest of the OS is failing in the background. I really don't care what the average user thinks, all that means is they were dumb enough to buy apples load of horsesh*t. The whole point to apple setting iOS up the way they did is to hide its shortcomings from the enduser and make them believe any and all errors are their fault. Pretty lame business model to say "hey you know what? Our users are so loyal and stupid they will never realize we screwed up! If we hide the crash dialogs they'll just assume all the errors were their fault." Yeah, no thanks. I'm just not that stupid. I could care less if my phone was android, unfortunately android is the only current open source OS available at market so I don't have many choices. I don't use M$ or apple on my PC either I run whichever flavor of linux fits my mood when I boot up. The only windoze machine I have is for work. I just don't see the point in paying a company to basically call me a moron with their shady programming. :thumbdown: you sound more like the fanboy over there getting all defensive of apples sh*tty tactics.
