[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
The fact is that the device should be scratch proof as with many other devices I own previously. Like Asus TF700T, Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, and S5, iPad 3, 4, Air and Air 2. I don't have any problems with screen protection on these devices.

Despite any slow updates, I do not object that such important updates require multiple processes, however, when it comes to priority on servicing its customers none of its models updates should be in a serial manner but as a parallel. That's to say this process should be consistent not intermittent.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
I am not satisfied with the screen protection compared with older products which I own previously and had no screen protections problems.

The fact is that generally if it is made with quality then I should not have seen a scratch on the screen.

And if it is made in Vietnam I am only speculating as to why they have chosen this route and produces a screen which is capable of being scratched easily.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Tell me what's __wrong__ and immature (as you suggested) with $am$ung ?

This is the fact that a unhappy user does not like to type its name in the proper form.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
And how does this justify that Samsung did not list the type of screen protection on its specifications web page??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Tell me, do you put a screen protector on your phone or not?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Oh yeah and don't tell me that you can not complain because Samsung did not officially list the type of screen protection on their specifications web page.

And if you do scratch your phone unconsciously, should you mind that Samsung did not want to provide a proper screen protection nor do they want to tell you exactly what is the form of screen protection they have implemented on Note 4. But, instead leave you to wonder what screen protection is on the phone and let's wander into third party websites which lists the device as with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

The fact is that Samsung did not formally acknowledge that this device has Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

Mind you, if you do get a scratch on your screen, how would you feel about your new device being scratched and becoming ugly and do not look like new.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kinghu:
We're not your enemies here - take a breath. Clearly you're upset and feel wronged or deceived in some way.

Vote with your wallet and buy an alternate brand next time.

For what it's worth, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well-built my Note 4 is. It doesn't have a single scratch or scuff on the screen of any kind. I keep it in my pockets and leave it on surfaces without a thought. It's also survived three heavy hits onto solid tiled floors from about one metre without so much as a ding on the band or anywhere else. I don't have any case or screen protector either.

By contrast, my old 5s hit the same tiled floor from a lesser height and had two significant dents in the alu band and looked like the screen was about to submit at any moment.

This is not meant as a boast but rather to say my experience is different to yours.

How is it Samsungs fault that you, by not fitting a screen protector, have scratched your phone?

I don't use screen protectors. If the screen gets scratched, it's my fault. Take some responsibility and stop blaming others.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
As everybody said, nothing is scratch resistant...just use a screen protector and that's it.

BTW i had mine for 2 months and no scratch or whatsoever
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Devhux:
... And the important takeaway here is that no company has a scratch-proof screen. Just because you never noticed a scratch on a previous device does not mean it was scratch-proof. No company has ever made such a claim either, because they know they'd be sued pretty darn quick for false advertising.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
lol

I am not saying that, but they did not list it in the specs, how do you know what do you get?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Totally defeats the purpose of Corning Gorilla Glass by using a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
It is worse not to list what form of screen protection this device has.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] andythilo:
No screen is scratch proof, merely scratch resistant. If you want your screen to be scratch proof, you have to fit a screen protector. Even then there is no guarantee.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xrayA4T:
What people also forget is that there is more to scratch resistance than just not scratching. As others have stated the screen is not scratch proof. Where gorilla glass is better than the competition is what happens when the screen scratches. The scratch tends to be thin and not have cracks radiating out from the scratch.

My Galaxy S with the original gorilla glass survived pretty well with 2 years of abuse so when I got my Galaxy Tab 7.7 I did not use a screen protector thinking it had gorilla glass which it did not. It got a small scratch and even that small scratch was easy to see with the screen on as it stood out in rainbow colours.

My wife doesn't have a screen protector on her Note 4 as it had the s-view case. Over Christmas it got a scratch, about 1cm long and curved. But because the screen is gorilla glass 4 it is almost impossible to see. With the screen off and held at an angle you can quickly see the scratch. With the screen on and held normally you don't notice it at all, no rainbow highlights. If you don't go out of your way to find it you don't see it.

This is what happens when folks don't know what they're buying. Somewhere, somehow, you got sand down your pants, and the screen got scratched 'cause the Sand scratches displays which have a 9H hardness or less. ;) Hopefully, you don't gasp.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Most likely reason why samsung does not specify type of glass used, is because, most likely, there's several different ones, depending on region. Some likely got gorilla 3, some 4 (most likely Korea only), or something made in house. So it's OK for corning to say note 4 uses gorilla 4, but samsung would be open to lawsuits if they claimed the same. Acknowledging that some models got inferior glass, is in some ways worse.

That being said, I wonder if the [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] would have scratched his phone if samsung would have specified gorilla 4 on website? Magical words?

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Samsung would be facing a class-action lawsuit if this were to be true. I strongly doubt Samsung would do something like this.

+1 here, and for the $800 I paid for mine outright, I treat the phone better than umm, umm not going to say, she will kill me...lol

No seriously, huge investment requires taking a little bit better care of your device.

Some just don't get it, or are they made of $$$$, or really they just don't care.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
No protection and you have a scratch. There is no "morning after" pill for that. :cool:

I have been here for a long time, and when it gets slow like this, these threads will pop up, no biggie.:D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tbvnz:
The Corning Glass article you provided the link to does not mention protection from "little scratches" or scratches of any kind. It addresses the number one consumer complaint, breakage due to drops. This is obviously the main topic of the article. As an educated consumer I did extensive research before purchasing a $800 device. I also took additional measures to protect my device, such as: protective case, screen protector, device insurance, a dedicated phone only, empty pocket in every pair of pants I own, carrying it screen in only, being careful around sand, etc... I think you may want to wait a while and get the adimantium model with the molecular molded diamond screen when it comes out. Just saying.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nexxusty:
Holy crap, shut up dude.

Seriously.... I've actually never read a more whining annoying thread. Ever.

You saying "lol" at the beginning of almost every reply makes me literally want to choke you through the screen.

OP also re-affirmed my general hate for human (un)intelligence.

You really don't see how you come off to us? If you truly don't you are not only lost, you're a lost spoiled brat.

If you feel the need to continue or do this again, leave. Please.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
just because something is gorilla glass does not mean its not gonna scratch, ive had gorilla glass before and they easily scratch. so i dont get how your complaining about all of this, mind you corning themselves list the screen as being gorilla glass, it doesnt matter if samsung didnt list it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonahtriangle:
Even a $10K Rolex with saphire glass will scratch and so will an $800 dollar smartphone. Use a rubber.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Wouldn't be that drastic but yes, I've noticed that the Note scratches easier than any other phone I've ever owned.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
This is a contingent hypothesis, however they will never publicly acknowledge that you are correct, because this meaning a slap in their faces. If this type of hypothesis becomes a reality and is popular within the industry then this would be considered a type of deliberate deceptive and misleading business conduct. This is illegal under the many country's consumer laws.

1. Consider source of information (possible rumours on third party and media online)

2. The cost-benefit analysis favours the food chain of distribution channel sellers, i.e, when they make substandard customisations on their behalf and using its brand power and loyal customers as backup. The general consumers won't even notice if the more expensive components of the device has indeed being replaced by inferior materials such as you have suggested.

3. The magical words is another case when some fine prints are intentionally neglected on their papers and typical consumers won't care or even doing pre-purchasing research in a scrupulous way, because they entrust Samsung's products.

The only way to make sure the Note 4 is Corning Gorilla Glass 4 is to shove it up or down somewhere it is prone to getting scratched. :good:

The Note 4's glass feels very different to me compared to the Note 3 glass. The Note 4 glasses even appears thinner.

I for one, believe Corning. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lmolloy:
I had no prroblem finding screen specs on the note 4 before i bought it. None of the devices you listed as owning previously are scratch PROOF. theyre scratch RESISTANT. i have owned a few of the same devices.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
As far as i'm aware there does not exist a screen that is scratch proof, or will there ever be one. Even if you made the screen from diamond it could still be scratched.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Exactly, there will always be something harder. Mission to Mars. :cowboy: Wild Wild West.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] neograniceni:
Before i purchased my Note 4 I saw a sample device in local T-mobile store heavily scratched (S5 was also scratched). So the first thing I did was put protective foil on screen. 15 pieces for 3 GPB from Amazon UK, didn't expect it would last for more than a few days unscratched for that price. Well, not a single scratch after a month, no problems for S Pen, colors or visibility. Why taking the risk ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
I wanted that giant mechanical spider when I was a kid. Heck I still do!

I haven't put a screen protector on anything since the Blackberry Curve was popular. I usually won't see a scratch on my devices until the end of year two. This is keeping in mind I usually take great care of my stuff. Don't keep anything in your pocket but your phone and you are usually good. it's the spare change and keys that usually end up scratching devices. As for the demo units, they usually have hard plastic screens instead but from my experience working in retail people have really dirty grimy greasy fingers. Add that to people who don't give a crap *cough* people bending iPhones in store *cough* and your demo units won't last long. That's a big reason why most demo units are fakes. It's not theft that costs, it's the constant replacement that costs. In that case they usually don't replace them, and thus your crappy demo units.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Protective Foil? Oh, so that's what its called. I custom-cut some strips I had from some unused ExtremeGuardz and installed them on specific / accessible parts of where my device is exposed to the outside environment. I have my Note 4 encased in a Otterbox Defender Series case. The metal edges areas present in the micro-USB Port area, S-Pen area, and Headset Jack are protected with protective foil. No scratches what so ever. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyz07:
It was almost a full month between Note 4's release and Gorilla Glass 4 being announced publicly so it was kept under wraps that Gorilla Glass 4 is on our Note 4. It was only after Corning made the announcement that Note 4 was added to the list in Corning's website ----> imgur.com/K9270oM
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Until Samsung officially acknowledges in their specifications page, anything is possible.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] THS1989:
Mod Edit Please mind your language

Don't blame Samsung.

No screen is invincible. Glass is glass even if hardened and tempered.

Google Mohs Hardness scale and see where tempered glass lies. I believe its a 6 and if so it means that anything with a hardness of 7 or greater will scratch it. This includes particles of sand (yeah, sand on the beach will scratch it..)

So yea gorilla glass 4 is easy to scratch....

Next time use a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cybertec69:
First corning gorilla glass is not scratch proof, or shatter proof "it is still glass", it is tempered glass which HELPS from obtaining scratches from day to day use, any tempered glass can be scratched with sand or diamonds, if you live anywhere near a beach there is a chance that you will come in contact with sand particles, all you need is a sand particle in your pocket and there is a CHANCE, not saying it will happen that it might scratch your device. I have seen many people who abuse the hell out of their devices with no issues with the glass screen, but those are rare, if you are one of those people then there is a good chance that you will damage the coating on the screen which prevents scratches.

Also this is not a Samsung issue, if there is an issue, but a Corning issue. Lets STOP blaming Samsung,this is for the haters out there.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Redefined301:
Samsung never acknowledged Note 4's installed with Corning glass. It is Corning who says they installed it on the Note 4.

Who told you Note 4's got screen protection installed by factory?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cybertec69:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroiderM:
Anybody who is using the T-Mobile tab s on AT&T I have some questions. Does the T-Mobile version support LTE on AT&T network, does CF Auto Root work on T-Mobile version, where did you obtain the unlock code for use on AT&T or is the tablet unlocked at purchase? I plan to buy either T-Mobile or AT&T variant ASAP. I don't know if the AT&T bootloader is locked down like all of there phones are now if not I would just buy the AT&T one but as of now I own a note edge on contract and dream of root with no sign of it coming anytime soon. Thanks for any input, a fast response would be awesome cause I am itching to go pick one of these up.

Which did you buy?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroiderM:
Ended up wit the 32GB wifi version from bestbuy. If I have it out and about I use my hotspot from my edge. I figured it was a better move than paying $10 a month for two years to add a tablet to my AT&T account, plus I figured lollipop upgrade will come quicker on wifi version. Currently rooted and running iron rom for T800 I like the tab s but don't find myself using it very often with it being more convenient just to pick up my note.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americangaming:
I have a LG G3 sprint version that has been unlocked using the Cloudyg3 1.2 for use with T-mobile US and of course rooted to go along with it.

Ever since the unlock I have experienced issues with maintaining a stable signal. I'm not in a dead zone or an area with lack of reception.

I can't obtain full data speeds in any location.

I at this point believe I have the wrong baseband or the wrong modem install.

I had originally paid to have my phone unlocked because of the fact that I had the zv6 variant of the OS at the time and there was no simple fix.

I also don't know a tremendous amount about the android O.S but I do know the basics and have an extensive knowledge of computers so I understand the principals and concepts. But a little bit of knowledge is sometimes worse then no knowledge because frankly I don't want to mess it up any more.

So heres what I ask if anyone can help

1. Is there a simple way to either update the baseband or the modem.img file without completely flashing it?

2. If so can you provide me with the correct and updated baseband and modem.img file for the LGLS990 model to work with T-mobile

3. If also possible a simple guide on how to do this so I don't mess it up

Any help is greatly appreaciated

Thanks

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Need link to download the specific software specified in the title of this thread. Came across the one loaded on Google by another xda member but having difficulties downloading it. If you have it mirrored to another cloud service please provide me with the link. I am mostly gunning to get my hands on all of the .img files which come inside it so that I may review them via a hex editor and unlock my bootloader the sneaky way since Huawei refuses to reply back to my emails. Many thanks in advance.

Update: I was able to get my hands on the update.app file. So now will begin extraction and making my changes to hack the bootloader status on my device. If Huawei has responded back to you with your proper bootloader unlock code then you were fortunate. I myself have run out of patience with them and am now handling this on my own personal level. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
Having trouble getting the bootloader unlock code? Try this:

Most of the issues are that emails sent outside of Shenzhen China business time during the week are not answered. They go into an email black hole. You'd have to send in the bootloader unlock request email really late here in the US or set up some way to send your email later automatically like I did with the Chrome extension Boomerang to get the code for my second HAM2. Currently sending in a request around 9pm EST to 4am EST Sunday - Thursday is the best time to email for the unlock code Sun-Thurs corresponds to Monday-Friday at Huawei in China.

I have emailed outside of those times and not gotten a response. After figuring out the time difference and setting up boomerang for an automated send later feature with my email the code arrived a couple hours after it was sent and I saw it when I woke up the next morning.﻿
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
[MENTION=4495345]arcadesdude[/MENTION], thanks for your input, but unfortunately that route has failed me as well. Been at it with these emails since late last year. My guess is that my emails are getting lost in middle of a bunch of other emails they may be receiving or I'm going to their spam mail which they probably ignore. Either case, all attempts have not been successful. I found the EFI image and boot image inside the update.app last night. So far so good as it looks like I can easily hack this update and finally get my bootloader unlocked so I may do what I need to do with it. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
You can unlock the bootloader without the bootloader unlock code?

Did you try another email address? Another member on here used another address and got through to Huawei.
