[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rndll:
Steel has a lower hardness scale (4-4.5) value than most hardened glass like Gorilla Glass. Most metal keys, knives, are made of stainless steel. GG4 is apparently around 6-6.5 while GG3 is 7 at the Mohs hardness scale. Stainless steel is 5.5-6.3 so if he's using a stainless steel knife on low hardness scale that explains it. This is why sand will always scratch your screen more than knives or keys. Sand is mostly silica which is around 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
That is why he is asking, if GG5 has a hardness of 2 or was it 3 on JRE video then that scale 4 knife should have easily scratched the screen
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Lodix:
But it seems the GG5 is level 3 haha
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rndll:
It's not impossible. Gorilla Glass did it when they went from GG3 to GG4. They made GG4 more shatter resistant by being more flexible but in effect made more scratch prone. GG5 is advertised as being more shatter resistant again than GG4 so assuming they did the same thing again, GG5 will be more scratch prone. This is purely Physics. Same way why tempered glass is so scratch resistant but explosively shatters to pieces so easily when enough force is applied. This is the reason why window glazing and car windshields are tempered glass - safety. When a person impacts tempered glass, it shatters in tiny pieces leaving the person with maybe a few scratches. If a person impacts non-tempered glass like annealed glass, it fractures in large pieces and the person is potentially passing through daggers.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Your realize this is a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Had Samsung used GG4 and another phone came out first with GG5 this forum would be peppered with "I can't believe my $900 flagship doesn't have GG5" posts. So now it does and the forum's peppered with "GG5 is crap" posts. GG5 is Corning's new top-end product so welcome to 2016. ;)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
You lost me..

Going back to the video by the guy who stabbed the phone, if the screen has 3H rating and his knife is on 4H wont the knife scratch the screen ?

Well either way if they used GG4 or GG5, I will be putting on a screen protector as Ive always done with my samsung devices as I seem to scratch that easy..
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rndll:
This why I noted on an earlier post that either GG5 is softer or there is a new coating on it that scratches far easier than previous phones. Apparently the Note 7 has better anti-reflectance than previous screens. This might be that coating or a new oleophobic coating.

I'm not siding with anyone here. I'm just stating the science of why it might be happening. I have the Note 7 on order from my carrier and I should be getting it in the next few days. I would rather be knowledgeable and prepared to protect my device than be in denial and disappointed later on.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gabrymr:
This is exactly why I cancelled my preorder, I'll wait for more information. Free gear VR isn't worth it for me if I need to put ugly screen protector on it to have it scratch free for a year. I never used cases or screen protectors on my phones and every single one survived for more than a year without any damage, but this is very concerning.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
That part I understood, so why didnt his knife scratch the screen ?

Your replies are very clear but really out of what me and the other guy is asking but I guess its a communication barrier.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] amith007:
F***.. I wish I have never seen this post. I am really on the fence of canceling my order. ??
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rndll:
Mine is a renewal/retention unit which I paid practically nothing for. It also has a free wireless battery case and clear case so in any case it's a sweet deal. If I were paying for it in full I would probably not go through with it too and just get the S7 edge.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Well the great thing is you have options. The S7 edge is practically a Note 7 without the Iris scanner, S-pen a smaller screen but is more scratch resistant. If my carrier had a OnePlus 3, I would be going with that. But then again OnePlus support is just horrendous.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
I can't wait to see how many people get the S7 as a consolation from this video and scratch that phone the first week.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
What is everyone whose freaking out going to do if premium phones all have GG5 going forward? Keep your current phone forever? You'd have to think that two multi-billion dollar companies (Samsung and Corning) aren't blithering idiots and the compromise they chose between shatter and scratch resistance was chosen with both eyes open.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gabrymr:
I'm actually dreading the next 2 years of GG5 already. I don't need shatter resistance, out of the 4 phones I had in last few year I dropped only 1 phone once, no damage. I care about scratch resistance only and that's final for me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rndll:
You know that's not always the case. Case in point, Qualcomm with their Snapdragon 801/ 805 to 810. ?

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] amith007:
Well, I decided to bite the bullet. Ordered an iCarez front screen protector from amazon (I have high appreciation for their tempered glass on my Nexus 6P) and a Naked wrap from Slickwraps for the back. Hope this will help me use my Note 7 without much issues.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jahmeego:

After dropping the phone like that?

My sister has had spiderwebbed screens on every single phone she's had in the last 5 years (her S6 fell on her mattress and broke.....) and so have many of my friends, so maybe we just have different frames of reference but I'm not too worried atm :p
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
I do not agree. When previous versions are 3 levels higher in scratch resistance, its a problem. I tend to take good care but others will have crappy looking phones in no time. If you have a girl friend or wife and you get her this phone, better make her aware not to just put this phone randomly in her purse.

The scratch test that I seen showed this 1 level harder than plastic at a lvl 3. I would call it plastic, not glass!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:

Yea I'm still getting it, but disappointing also.

I have a note 4 with no screen protector ever and not a scratch in 2 years.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
This is from the iFixit teardown and I thought it was interesting.

In an additional level of customization, the S Pen comes with two interchangeable tips: a soft tip for writing on smooth glass, and a hard tip for use with screen protectors.​
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ert69:
I wonder now which one will scratch the screen the most? When u use the hard one then it will scratch the screen protector for sure.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mattjewell:
As soft as the tip is, I don't see it scratching.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ert69:
On the screen or screen protector? Do u have a plastic screen protector? I am really worried about scratching the plastic screen protector and having to change them out every day.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mattjewell:
I'm saying that you shouldn't need a screen protector if the only thing you're worried about is scratching the screen with the S pen.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ert69:
Oh.. not the only thing. I managed to scratch my current phones screen protector just by having it in my pocket. Mind you there was nothing in there besides the phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PapaWangsta:
Haha, same here. Both of my toddlers have Note 4. They R abusing it left and right with NO screen protectors on, and zero scratches so far even with zero lemon battery on it. Tough little sucka! :laugh:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SeanK_:
Is it out yet?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] soraxd:
I too have a note 4 without any scratches. the note 7 will scratch way way easier. each gorilla glass scratches easier than the last. so note 4 will have better glass than note 5 which will be better than note 7.

I've literally never dropped a phone in my life.. but I've had them slide out of my pocket in the car, or put it in my pocket with coins.. sadly these screens are built only for drops, not scratches =(.

wish apple actually made that sapphire screen a while back so Samsung would do it too. =/

What is the scratch resistance level of the iphone 6s ? For a comparison.

I saw a video of the same guy scratching easily the iphone 6s, I never scratched any of my iphone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ert69:
It should be 6h.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aznmode:
As long as I can find a good full screen protector (doesn't have to be tempered glass) then I'm happy that note 7 is more shatter proof as I rather not use a super thick case.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
No, but it's the next pseudo-flagship up to bat so in the spec matching war it would be deemed deficient if it didn't have GG5. 95% of the smartphone populous doesn't get freaked out like XDA'rs and will just view "5" as obviously better than "4."

Many here have prioritized scratch resistance over shatter resistance. You can live with a scratch, you may not be able live with a cracked screen if it takes out the digitizer. And fixing a cracked screen isn't cheap or convenient. Show of hands. How many here know people walking around with a cracked screen and are acceptant of it until they get a new phone? I know quite a few (but I'd never be one of them). So maybe we're wrong and Corning's right in prioritizing shatter resistance if you can't have both?

BTW, my phone (black) came and its beautiful. Side-by-side with my Note5 the Note7 makes it look like its from an entirely different design generation. The LED and Clear Flip color are also way more refined both in materials and design than the faux-leather previous generation cases.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] HikariNoKitsune:
Yea, getting scratched at 3H is kind of pathetic in my book. Its no better than a plastic screen! I'd MUCH rather have scratch resistance... think about it... more people scratch their phones than drop them. Sure if it shatters then you're out of a screen, but at the same time people should be smart and get protection plans for such an expensive freaking device! For people who put their phones in their pockets (aka, 99% of the world), having scratch resistance is better than having shatter resistance... People don't always remember whats in their pockets when they shove their phones into them... so things like keys, coins, or even pens will scratch the crap out of this phone!

I use my phone for work unloading trucks, and having to worry about the phone scratching up just because i had a piece of dirt or dust on my gloves is going to drive me legitimately insane! This was the worst design choice ever imo... Samsung had sooo much going for this phone. Soooooooo much. Then they went and wrecked it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Do NOT ....i repeat DO NOT buy the glass protector I linked earlier.... here is my Amazon review : 1 star

This item was NOT as described. It allowed dust behind the glass which caused my screen to get a light scratch. It is also not clear as described. It decreased light transmission by a good bit in sunlight. There are also small dots on a grid pattern that interfere with light transmission also causing a blur effect. It also only has a thin line of adhesive around the edge of the glass. I would recommend pulling this product off the shelf! Terrible product! Luckily Amazon refunded me but it doesn't fix my screen or the IQ shield ( liquid applied plastic protector ) I took off to put this piece of junk on. The IQ protector while wasnt strong like glass at least kept scratches off !!!

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
Time will tell and the truth will be shown over time. From the pre-release photos of scratched demo phones, JRE's scratch video and others who have said they already have some small scratches, it sure looks like GG5 is softer. I have been really careful with my Note5 but I like a lot of others carry it in my back pocket and have some scratches on the screen. They are not noticeable while using the phone but with the screen off, they are there. That is the problem with that knife test video, he had the phone on a bright background the whole time, how are you supposed to see any scratches like that? I have a case but not a screen protector yet but I am for sure getting one.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Corning's 100% right in that the testing JerryRigEverything does isn't standardized or subjective. The pressure he applies can be different on a phone by phone basis and pick by pick basis. Whether accidentally or on purpose the pressure he applies each time he runs the pic across the screen determines the outcome. More pressure = more likely to scratch. Less pressure = less likely to scratch. I can't stand objective tests as I said earlier in the thread because they are easily swayed. What JerryRigEverything is doing isn't subjective because it's not consistent. I'm surprised at myself for not seeing the same thing Corning did earlier. Case closed - at least for me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nookcoloruser:
The pressure applied should make no difference. If the glass is rated 6H then a pick at Mohs 3H should not scratch the screen that is rated higher regardless of how much pressure is applied.

That's not subjective, that's physics.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Antonio Almeida Filho:
First of all, I wanted to mention that I do not want to port to unsupported devices like android devices.

I wanted to port the .ffu of the build 10240 (Windows 10 Mobile) for Lumia 930 (RM-1087) to my lumia 820 (rm-825) because I want to again use the project astoria and I have not found a ffu of this type for my cell phone.

I have .ffu of windows phone 8.1 for lumia 820 and I also have the ffu of the build 10240 of lumia 930.

Is there any method of port?

Can I install .ffu the lumia 930 without any modification?
[Windows 10 Mobile] MrCego:
You must be a Microsoft developer to do that. It requires a lot of knowledgment to "port" a FFU to another device. Remember Microsoft last one year to conclude a stable Windows 10 Mobile ROM from Windows Phone.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Antonio Almeida Filho:
But it has no way to edit a .ffu? I have WP Internals and WPID (converts .ffu to a .vhd, I think it is)

At this time, it's the only way, but as I said, hard.

Flash official rom ... and it will be back
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott M:
As above really. Not really sure if it's a hardware or a software error here. I've read that the sim card readers can be a little fragile but there was no fuss during the removal so I would be surprised if that was the issue. What I'm wondering is if I've missed something when un-rooting my phone.

I was using a custom ROM, all working fine, but I've got a new phone so I decided to unroot my old one to sell on. I flashed my original firmware using the LG Flash Tool. Firmware file is "UK Vodafone 16G D85510A_00.kdz". It all went great as far as I could tell and I started upgrading. The final upgrade was the install of Marshmallow 6.0.

In order to find out if my phone was locked or not I put my Wife's SIM in. Rather than coming up and asking for an unlock code it simply stated that there was no SIM inserted. I thought that was potentially down to the wrong SIM being in but when I tried mine I was met with the same error.

Have I missed something? Did I need to change the baseband or something during the process?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
