[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Argon0:
So does anyone know when the Nougat update is actually landing on the p9000? Not that it matters that much to me, I've had to stop using it as a phone - the mic has stopped working in all but speaker phone mode... and in that mode the speaker doesn't work!!!

Hello,

So I have had been using Jettech tempered glass for my Note 5 since I got it last year and recently saw a crack on it and I was like how the heck I was like let me see if it's on the screen and

lol the whole thing cracked.

So I had a set of screen protectors at home for note 5 and I put that one. Now it's thin and doesn't even feel like there anything on the screen and the screen looks so beautiful colors and all but I'm worried-do we really need tempered glass protectors?

I've seen knife tests and all and this phone survives without any struggle so shouldn't this screen protector be enough?

What do you guys think? I do have a Spigen case on it-with in-built shock absorber and what not.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] xnappo:
It depends on how anal you are. I assure you you will get a scratch at some point.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] djhulk2:
I got tempered glass because I didn't want a peice of plastic. Recently I watched a video about tempered glass and saw tempered glass can take a hit. If the tempered glass is hit at a specific way/angle then it shatters. But it can defiantly take a hit and prevent scratches
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] varun12:
I understand but my question is should I get tempered glass or I'm fine with screen protector I have.

I already put one on but it's not tempered it's the regular one. Not sure how durable this is but my screen definitely looks better lol maybe because it's not that thick haha
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] xnappo:
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. If you have a decent lip on your case I don't think the glass buys you a whole lot. With a slim case without much lip, I think they have saved my phone's screens a couple of times.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] djhulk2:
I'd say go for glass. Plastic is plastic. Glass a few dollars more for a reason)

Tempered glass here
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jasons1004:
I got the zagg plastic xtreme I think...comes with front and back protect.

It is nice on the back too...no more fingerprints.

I don't have any scratches yet. I can sort of rub light scratches right out...kind of cool.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] amirprog:
Tempered glass will give you the height protection against scratches and impact, better clarity, last longer, better feel in hand sometimes better feel then the glass phone itself, less fingerprints. Tg is also better then a "shatter film" because it has better ratio between scratches and impact resistance.

There is no debate here...
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Ohhdayumm:
I have tempered glass just because its clearer than plastic and is easier to clean. Its not super thick so i dont really mind also for the extra protection on such a exspensive phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
Tempered glass is the best way to go. It provides better protection, is very hard to scratch, doesnt impact optics, and is easier to apply. No brainer.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Nickitt:
I'd stick with what we all know, tempered glass. Just purchased the Note 5 from a private party seller and luckily it didn't have many scratches from the previous owner NOT having a screen protector on.

Purchased the glass and am loving it.

They're cheap AF on amazon and as good of quality as the $50 ones in stores.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] djhulk2:
Well I dropped my phone from pocket height yesterday, it fell face down, and sure enough I seen a crack across the screen. I am using the caselogy that covers the edges, so when I peeled back the tempered glass...it was just the temperd glass cracked. Ordered a new 1 on eBay for 5 dollars, this glass lasted 4 months
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] varun12:
Ok guys- even though when I bought the phone new I had tempered glass on it and I was just lazy to order another one since I already had regular screen protector with me.

I'll order one - It's by company JTtech - 9.99 on Amazon prime.

I just got lazy and to be honest- the tests on youtube shows that the bare screen of the phone is very resilient so I shrugged it off.

I'll order it today. I also have Spigen case on with raised edges.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] zadane:
I've got about 6 different tempered glass screen protectors because I can't stand the feel of the plastic screen protectors...

Mind you the screen on my note 5 is a freaking joke. I went about a month without a screen protector and my screen is scratched to all hell. And that's just from pocket use... So in the end it doesn't matter which one you go with, just use a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
It's not entirely how anal you are. I haven't used them in years and never had a problem because I would always keep my phone in a pocket which I was sure was empty. However I tried an oleo phobic tempered glass screen protector from Benks. It is hard to get it on perfectly, but it is great in that the screen is much more slippery for the swipe keyboard usage and also it never shows fingerprints on the screen any more. (Also this is not as important but I like it that it removes/hides/covers up the obnoxious 'Samsung' logo.) If you but them, buy more than one because if you mess up putting it on then you have a spare (which you would eventually use anyway). I recently dropped my phone for the first time and freaked out - but my case and the Benks tempered glass protector together completely protected the phone - with a big crack across the screen - which disappeared when I peeled off the protector!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] 5warafat1:
Everyone has
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] CoryMac913:
Tempered glass screen protectors are the way to go. The only way tempered glass can crack or break is if the edge or corner is hit (I should know, i work with tempered glass everyday) and since these protectors are so thin, there is only a fine edge on it, nearly impossible to hit with something, even though i had something hit that fine edge at work. i get all my tempered glass protectors off Amazon, $4 - $7, as compared to $35 for a Zagg temp glass protector in stores, or even $25 for a plastic protector.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jksell07:
Tempered glass is best

But does anyone have the halo? I put mine on perfectly centered and I've got a hell of a halo. I was wondering if there's no halo with a plastic screen protector. That would be one reason to vote for plastic.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
On my second tempered glass, and haven't seen any halos.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cajunaggie87:
Currently using this tempered glass protection and it has no halo. Doesn't collect fingerprints either. Plus it comes with two. Highly recommended.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] stulzerl:
I just installed an ianders tempered privacy glass. Pretty good stuff compared to the plastic one I had before. Plastic was thinner but it was all marked from putting my phone in my pocket and it kinda turned yellow...

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] garva1:
Can you suggest me a good tempered glass, which is not a fingerprint magnet. Any skin recommendation.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] RazorMC:
Main issue is not the glass itself. Real challenge is to find a tempered glass protector without any halo. Most glass ones have a halo due to the slight curve on the screen's edges.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] garva1:
Any suggestions
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Turbine1991:
Tempered glass is a regular screen protector to me. Nothing else is good enough.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] situman:
Buy whichever brand and make sure you center it. When you have the halos, use a hairdryer, heat it up a bit and rub it down. Fixed all of the halos I've ever gotten.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] hoogo:
I have been using xtremeguard.com for years. They are cheap and there is almost always a coupon for 90% off, I've never paid more than $5 per glass protector. Saved me a couple of screens so far. One was the time I accidentally threw my phone out the window of a dump truck (good 8 feet up and 10 feet out to the pavement), protector was toast but not a scratch on the phone glass. Next one was a normal fall from my hand to tile floor. Same results.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] edan1979:
i use to have tempered glass... but since it does not cover the whole screen and the damn phone drop... the screen shattered and the tempered glass was safe... it should be other way around... XD
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] arclight25:
I only use Tempered glass protectors on all my devices. Just like them better that the old school flimsy ones
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] InteliDroid:
I use a tempered glass on my Note 5, not any special brand just a generic one from a mobile phone store I had bought from. As I don't baby it as much as when I bought it anymore there are luckily scratches on the tempered glass rather than the actual screen.

At one stage I had only a glass screen protector and no case. So risky, but over the few months only the frame got a few light niks. But I've gone back to having a case.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tyiphius:
I got both on. Only because the glass I got doesn't cover all of the screen where the screen protector does. Screen protector over the screen and glass over that.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] DeeXii:
Did you have a case?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] edan1979:
yup. using rinke fusion.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] swapy12:

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] DeeXii:
It has been reported that this case doesn't protect the shock well from side impacts which in turn causes the screen to shatter.

When you had the drop, did it fall on the side or did something actually impact the screen?

Sounds like it was the case that wasnt doing its job as opposed to the screen protector.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheMadScientist:
There there...

rightly said.

No other will sufice

And to everyone it dont matter how much u spend. In my opinion zagg has really crappy glass.

Some of the best ive ever gotten are 2.99 on ebay. And usally get 2 or 3 in a pack.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tw1n5nak35:
I wanted the nice tempered Glass when my phone was brand new last year. But honestly, I've been using only just the normal screen protector. I bought a 3 pack from spigen with a spigen slim armor case, Ringke fusion case which also came with a free screen protector for the front and rear glass. I just changed my original screen protector from a year ago, (spigen) with the ringke brand because of the back screen protector for the glass. YES, there is a halo effect with both brands, but the entire year, the glass has survived everything I threw at it. Ex girlfriend and her sisters, alcohol, 786 cubic inch HEAVY duty diesel engine, drops from 10 feet, engine oil, coolant, ciggerrate burns etc. So i'm finally switching it out and I'll take pics of the halo effect now and Ill post pics from spigen brand from exactly a year ago. I still have 1 more spigen screen protector left out of 3. The first one was used as a dummy and practice to install, until I got confident and good enough. But with this phone being a year old, I don't see a problem going with tempered glass, when it's cheaper. Good luck and I'll post the pics later. :):D:o:good:
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] amirprog:
I'm very satisfied with my one year old pure.gear tg. The only con is that it does not cover the whole actual view glass but you get used to it and there is nothing better on the market and you also get no halos. I cannot detect one scratch. I'm also very satisfied with my one year old evutec case. I just ordered uag case as a second case and i'm sure i will be satisfied as much as i'm am with evutec.

I highly recommend these 3 products for the note 5 for the best look/protection/slimness ratio, as far as i know.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
Maaaaan... After reading more comments on this I decided to go thru with getting some. I just bought a pair from your link. Good price. I've been using Note devices since day one and have been pretty lucky. I guess the way I use them I never had issues with scratches but now I realize I've probably been operating on borrowed time, so to speak. I do like the fact that those TG are curved at the edges, which is something I haven't seen before with these kinds of screen protectors.

Let's see how they work with my case. Thanks for the link!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] gaugan:
I'm very comfortable with Tempered Glass!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
nothing, it sits in a otterbox defender.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
With that terrible plastic built-in screen protector? I've seen to many of those leave horrible residue on people's screens.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
hasn't been a problem in a year.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
Even without the residue issue (they may have fixed the design) having a plastic screen protector is bleh, IMO.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
you're entitled to your opinion...btw, have you ever used the ob defender or are you just whining??
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
Whoa, straight to insults? Easy there, buddy. I was just sharing an innocuous opinion.

I've used the Defender series on this phone other devices in the past years and I've arrived at the opinion that I do not like the built-in plastic screen protector. Not after trying out tempered glass, IMO, they're far superior to whatever plastic screen protector OB puts in their Defender cases.

Are you having a bad day or something? What's your problem?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
no i'm not having a bad day i just don't appreciate replying to the op's question & seeing your reply:

"With that terrible plastic built-in screen protector? I've seen to many of those leave horrible residue on people's screens."

2nd reply:

"Even without the residue issue (they may have fixed the design) having a plastic screen protector is bleh, IMO.

you apparently aren't using an ob def case on a note5, so whatever history you had with ob defender case on another phone is irrelevant.

what it gets down to is, an opinion without personal experience is just wishful thinking.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
Like I said in my last reply, I have used OB Defender series on THIS phone and other phones in the past several years and since I started using tempered glass screen protectors for the first time (on any device) I've realized how much better they are compared to the built-in plastic screen protectors on the OB Defender series. My opinion is derived from experience with these products. You took issue with this view with some oddly-placed anger as if you work for the company or something.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
after 2 vague posts, it wasn't 'til post #50 that you actually said you had tried the defender on a note5.

i'm not a mind reader, your 2 vague posts sounded like you were echoing what someone told someone & you overheard the comment.

no, i don't work for the company or any advertisers.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] :
I mean, if I'm criticizing the product why do you first assume I've never tried it before? When you asked me if I used the OB Defender before I answered you.

After that you still questioned whether I used it or not.

I dunno what to tell you other than I've used it on THIS phone and other phones over the years and I find that the built-in plastic screen protector is horrid. Tempered glass screen protectors are, IMO and many others, FAR more superior to that cheap plastic OB Defender screen protector.

That's the sum of my argument against it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bearone2:
you're entitled to your opinion, as i am........have a nice.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tw1n5nak35:
I personally use spigen brand and Ringke brand normal screen protector for use of my note 5. My brother had a s7 and usues a normal screen protector as well. Mom, on the other hand on her iphone 6s plus we got her a tempered glass protector. Every user is different, but maybe after my last screen protector, I might get the spigen version for the tempered glass. I do have halo effects around the edges of my note 5 but I can live with it. I just have to last 8 more months till the note 8 drops.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] iul777:
I use a Nillkin tempered glass on my note 5 and xperia z5p, it doesn't get a halo effect and it goes to the edge of the display, the only downside is the tempered glass still gets scratches. Here are some pics of my tempered glass:
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] TheMadScientist:
I live by temp glass even if they dont fit rite they got all kinds on ebay 3 usd or less for just about all phones.\

As for the preview: It appears to be a possibility. Keep in mind however that while the phones appears near identical, in the end they are not. Just as the Z2 and de Z3 are near identical, and the Z2 didn't receive the Marshmallow Concept treatment where as the Z3 did.

Hi,

I've bought my Samsung Galaxy camera about three years ago, and it has worked fine until a few weeks ago. I mean, I've had some problems with losing photo's on the device, which were easily fixed after googled around a bit, but I've experienced nothing like this before, because about two weeks ago it just completely refused to boot.

I've tried leaving it on two different chargers, each for one day long. I've tried taking it apart and vacuum-ing everything, but everything without any results. Whatever buttons I press or hold pressed for several seconds, the screen just remains black.. And since my warranty has already expired I can't return it too.

Does anyone have any idea about what I can do in order repair it? Every suggestion is welcome and appreciated, since I'm close to giving up..

Thanks in advance.. ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joestuka69:
A few days ago, my HTC One M8 came up with a little box on the screen saying "to restart the phone, Press the power button and the volume down button for 10 secs". I had not done anything to the phone so i went to swipe it away and it would not. I could use any apps or panels under the message but the box with the message stayed there.

Then another panel came up with the "shut down, restart and airplane mode" when i did not even press the power button to get to that panel. It would then keep switching between the power saver screen (blank screen) then back to the "airplane mode" box randomly. And the power button becomes hyper sensitive like its a touch button rather than a press button.

Ive tried to factory reset the phone and clear out the cache but to no avail. I thought it might have been a virus...managed to put a virus checker on but found nothing.

Phone is stock and nothing changed on it. Had it for over a year now with no probs

Android version = 6.0

HTC Sense = 7.0

Software = 6.12.401.4

Please help...or is the phone knackered?

Thx in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sounds like your power button is malfunctioning. Not a whole lot you can do, except maybe cleaning around the button, to see if some debris or residue is making it "stick". A more extreme measure, might be to take apart the phone and clean around the button. But such an invasive measure might not be worthwhile (and may do more harm than good), as the problem may be with the electronic components themselves.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Yeah, definitely the power button. Mine went out too, had to get it replaced
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Scooparu:
Hi everyone, I'm looking into getting the Mate 2 to use as a car tablet (I know its kind of small, but its what will fit in my car). What I am trying to figure out is if the Mate 2 will charge with an OTG cable, as I want to use a USB flash drive for media, and possibly a USB DAC. I've been reading that it requires an OTG cable modified with a 36kohm resistor somewhere in the cable (which I haven't figured out where) and a modified kernel, but nothing specifically for Huawei phones/tablets. Does anyone have any insight for this phone?

Thanks!
[P3600 General] rich1986:
(Not sure if there has been a post about this, apologies if there has.)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I had a fairly big scratched area, right where I write the letters for the Letter Recogniser SIP which was very annoying as it prevented the stylus from gliding smoothly. I heard that I should use Brasso (~£1.30 from your local supermarket) on the screen and it has been VERY successful. It's completely removed the scratch.

Just apply a small amount with a cotton-bud and work into the screen in circlular motion (press harder for deeper scratches). Keep doing this for about 10-15 times or until the scratch disappears.

Hope this helps anyone with screen scratches or anyone wondering about using Brasso but too scared to try.
[P3600 General] djfuego:
Careful

I wouldn't recommend it as too much brasso will affect the screen, It's not just an abbrasive but solvent too so you will melt the plastic screen. Over-use will make the screen look warped.

I tried this on my M500 ages ago; now if HTC have improved on the screen then hey.. go ahead but don't say I didn't warn you.
[P3600 General] davidf:
Screen protectors are a much better option. If the screen is already marked a protector would give you a smooth finish again. If thats to expensive an option clear contact sheet will also offer the same results and a roll of that will give you screen covers for the rest of your natural life.
[P3600 General] rich1986:
it would not "melt" the screen - how misguided. it is a mild solvent and abrasive and so is unlikely to cause much harm to the screen unless used constantly. screen protectors look awful on a screen - especially when the device is off.
