Howdy dudes and hoes.
Is there any screen protectors that doesn't effect the s-pen input that much? I would like a screen protector, but i don't want my screen to feel like a touchscreen phone from 2007 If that's the case, i'm better of without one.
Well I like invisible shield by zagg 25 year guarantee, strange to begin with but works great with the pen had mine about a month and still looks good
I'm using the Martin Fields one. The protector is unnoticeable (if applied correctly) and the S-pen works really well. It's also highly resistant.
Well, here's the list of screen protectors I used so far :
-original Samsung;
-Cellularline anti-glare;
-3M Vikuiti.
I'm using the 3M for the moment... did spend about three times as much as on a Cellularline one, but oh well... I thought what the hell, everyone's talking about 3M Vikuiti and how good their screen protectors are... Well, IT SUCKS. Grease getting on the screen shield == funny rainbow colors if you look at it from any other angle than 90 degrees . Also, the "spot" is noticeable... the edges are untouched, but more to the middle of the screen, this sort of like grease splotch appears...
I'm going with MOMAX next time. They and Guardline always pleased me. In fact, everyone did... but 3M deserves a hanging.

But as far as I know, no screen protector will impair your ability to use the S Pen. Hell, wrap your S Pen in a screen cleaning cloth... wrap it in five such cloths... then see if it works. I'm telling you : mine did work .

We don't have ZAGG here. The only place I saw them is iStyle, where specific case manufacturers include a ZAGG shield in their packages. At least, I saw one ZAGG shield in a case for the iPod Nano (yeah, that little yet expensive watch that can play music).
I've heard good & bad things about ZAGG... They stretch and revert to their original form (don't know how that is useful)... They tend to turn yellow/blue because over time... Oh well... I'm good with what we do have available here.
I'm curious about the warranty thing, though. Those ZAGG shields from the case I talked about above... the package said you've got life warranty, so you can always go to their store and ask for a replacement if your shield broke/got cut or anything... Their HQ = NOT IN ROMANIA, haha.
-----
For the record, I didn't buy that iPod Nano case to see the ZAGG shield inside. A friend of mine did... just because they were on super-mega-extra promotions, so he could sell them at 15x the price later .
Cool! I'll check 'em out. And correct me if i'm wrong. There are no screen protector applied to the Note when you unbox it the first time, right? I mean, there is nothing you should take off before applying a new one?

There is, I guess. But it's got drawings on it, so you can't miss it if there is one. Dunno... check unboxing videos on YouTube. I forgot if there is one , but if there it, you just can't miss it, drawings or not (it's probably gonna stick out on one corner or peel itself off if you put your phone in the pocket for multiple times).

You've got gorilla glass...... No screen protector needed surely......
Had my note about 6 months, it's in my pocket every day and no scratches...
I did try applying a few when I first got the note but couldn't get them to line up right and always got at least one bubble which annoyed me.....

That's not true.
The day I got my previous phone (Galaxy Nexus), I didn't throw a screen protector on it. I was gonna do that the day after, and until then, I treated the phone like it was king (kindly placed it down on a pillow or something soft). The next morning : huge scratch on the glass, thank God it was BELOW the screen.
Also, the phone I had before the Nexus : Galaxy S2. Somehow, two dots got "scratched onto" the screen. Like the glass got hit by keys or something. Same thing happened to the Desire...
So, better use a screen protector than to quietly weep later .

No. But you may never now when a grain of sand gets on the screen, you swipe it away and discover the damage some hours after...
Of course, there are exceptions. I think you are just lucky. Or perhaps the one in a thousand exception that can hammer screws down with his phone, while others smash even when gently bumped. It happens...

I know what you mean. I had pre-gorilla glass phones that got scratched if you breathed on them too heavily.
The Note is my second gorilla glass phone and my (dare I say) iPhone's screen it's still good as new. Which is quite handy as I will be selling it soon as there is no way I am going back from Android.

Oh stop. So tired of this silly "it has gorilla glass and doesn't need a screen protector". Tell that to every person who took your advice and then scratches their screen. Did you know that the 2 in gorilla glass 2 means it's thinner, and not more scratch resistant? RESISTANT... not proof.
Back on topic, use ebay for case shopping. I have a bunch of cases I bought from there to try out, as many of them are 4-15 bucks and there's over 2000 listings for different ones.
Regarding apps, I would follow the directions here to root your phone. Only root it, don't go any further. Then buy a copy of titanium backup, back your phone up to your microsd card, and then freeze the bloat on your phone (all the fancy pink t-mobile apps, for example). You will need to root your phone to do this, as well as other neat tricks like using NFC tags to turn on and off your GPS (not needed for bluetooth or wifi automation tho, *shrug*).
Foxfi works for me, post root, but doesn't for others. I wield no extraordinary magical powers... so I can't explain why it's working, but it is. (for tethering your data connection)
Games wise, Star Wars Angry Birds! LoL!
Don't ever buy screen protectors, takes all the good feeling away... ^_^ no really it's fine. (never used screen protector for my last 4 smart phones and never had ANY issues.)
Enjoy your new phone!

I agree, coldfustion's review of the Note 2 gave me a ton of ideas on how to setup the phone to really be customized. I stole a lot of his ideas and, to be honest, I don't even notice any touchwize anymore. Well worth sitting thru his 18 min video, and the follow-on how-to.
If you plan to root it then make sure the first thing you do is to back up your EFS partition. It carries your imei info. If you corrupt or delete that by mistake without having a backup, it will be nothing more than a paper weight.

I backed up the entire phone beforehand (to my microsd... dont' make the same mistake I made the first time!). You should be able to back it up now if everything is in order. It's when the IMEI is set to zero and your phone doesn't connect to your provider that you need to worry.
I just paid $325.00 for a note 2 on ebay. The seller stated that the phone was hardly used, looked and operated like new. Besides the fact that i got no charger or box which was in the picture, the phone has a 1 inch wide deep scratch on the bottom part of the screen. I REALLY want to keep this phone but man i feel like i just got had and im ticked off. I already ordered a screen protector from SGP and my question is, would this help diminish the look of a scratch? Ive asked for a full refund but maybe im thinking i could deal with it if he is willing to give a partial refund and i can mask most of this scratch some how. What would you guys do?

basically you have no options other than buying a new screen or trying to "fill" the scratch but that would never work. you would really have to know what your doing to do it right without making that portion of the screen inoperable.

How much does it generally cost to replace the front glass?
I advise against getting the glass replaced.. The Note II screen is like many new phones these days fused together with the digitizer.. Sure it can be done but I wouldn't attempt it myself.. When I was using my Note 2 I got a scratch on the display and bought a replacement lcd/digitizer on ebay. It was around $200 but replacing it myself was simple.

I'd get a full refund and find another one in better shape if the scratch bothers u. Its gonna be alot of money to fix that scratch.

If you get an anti glare screen protector it will diminish the scratch of the glass and make it somewhat smooth when you use your s pen... You won't feel a thing and you will most likely notice the scratch a little less... But this things are annoying as heck. Knowing it's always there, screen replacements are expensive because of the digitiser... But I think you can just buy the glass instead of the whole thing... You won't be able to do it yourself without damaging something though.

Depends how deep is a scratch and how much patience you have, you could wet sand and polish the screen. I did successfully sanded out scratches from smartphones. I started with 1000 grid sand paper, followed by 1200, later 1500 and 2000. Polished with fine compound using dremel and buffing pad and looked like new. Just remember to mask area around scratch and make sure that water will not go inside phone.

Keep the phone and ignore the scratch.
Unless the scratch is worth $300 more to you. In that case don't.
Or you can google "remove scratch gorilla glass" and see how to grind and polish the whole screen down.
Or you can order a screen and take your chances doing the surgery.

Here's a pic of the scratch. Upon turning this phone on, I've noticed a much smaller but oddly more noticeable scratch in the middle. It's very shallow so I'm sure a screen protector would mask majority of it. Of course the buyer is not answering my messages.

Aren't you the buyer? If the seller isn't answering messages take it up with eBay. They usually get you your money back. If the seller won't answer ebay they will ban him from making anymore sales

Replacing the screen by itself is extremely hard to do and you risk cracking the AMOLED, too. I repair Note 2 cracked screens/AMOLED by simply replacing the whole housing with a new one. They're expensive however. They can run over $100 in ebay.
Easiest thing to do is get a full refund if you can't stand the scratch. Complain to ebay or credit card company if you used a credit card in paypal. Or just put a screen protector to mask the scratch out a little bit.

Pic of scratch on screen as requested by seller.
You could try lens repair compound. It won't risk damaging the screen like wet sanding can, but it may not bond although it should without any problems. Its a polymer you rub into the scratches and it backfills them to make them less visible to almost invisible and makes them smooth again. It's usually around $20 for a small kit but it lasts a long time since you only use a few drops per scratch. I'm not sure where to buy it in a brick and mortar but it's pretty easy to find online. Its almost identical to the cracked windshield stuff they sell but is more viscous since it's for scratches and not cracks. The best ones are the ones used for eyeglasses. Some of the others aren't as optically clear if they're for glass objects and not glass used for viewing. I've used it on everything from eyeglasses to high end wristwatches without any problems except one item I used it on it didn't bond so the scratch remained after the compound peeled off.

I would try to get partial refund and deal with the scratch. Other than that your other option is put a screen protector and maybe that will cover it a little otherwise file a claim with eBay for full refund. Depending on the description of the eBay ad you may have a case. Remember that eBay will pay your shipping back to seller. This is one reason I , are there any scratches on screen before I bid, eBay will use these questions in case anyone ever files a claim. And this is another reason why I now use swappa.com to buy and sell all my phones.
In the end if scratch really bothers you first contact seller to arrange a return. If they say no or want to make you pay shipping back to him then you'll have to file a claim. Good luck. Any questions let me know. I sell alot on eBay and have recently sold 2 phones with another up for sale on swappa.

I haven't seen any and I don't think one is necessary. The display has a sapphire coating which if done correflty will hold up to anything you can throw at it. I have a sapphire Crystal on one of my mechanical watches and its never gotten scratched at all after a year of daily use.
Edit: I bought one just to test but I don't intend on using it long term. I'll let you know how it is.
Unlike the other Android Wear devices on the market, this one won't need it.
I would agree that this watch wouldn't need a screen protector, because of the sapphire crystal display. That being said...
You can scratch sapphire. You have to try really hard...but it is possible. I've done it on a mechanical watch of mine, and it drove me crazy...but a gemstone can scratch another gemstone.
THAT BEING SAID...I don't really know what good a screen protector would do with this face. Unless it's also made out of sapphire, what good would it do? OK...I'm being facetious (damn...had to Google that)...but you are also "talking" to a guy that HATES screen protectors. Like...A LOT...never had one on a phone, tablet, or watch that I've ever owned...

You can scratch sapphire, but you need a gem of equal or greater H rating. So unless you plan to throw the watch in a bag of saphhire crystals or diamonds, we should all be good.

Like I said...you have to try pretty hard to scratch sapphire...but it is easier than you think. If you or your SO have any diamond jewelry...that will do it. Also, any diamond tipped tools will also do it. It is possible...however unlikely in day to day living (minus the diamond jewelry part). And again...if something can scratch the sapphire, it sure as heck will go through whatever screen protector you would have on it...
So the screen protector I ordered from NewEgg by ilumshield or whatever the name was got canceled because they didn't ship it so I guess I'll try elsewhere.

Dont waste your time or money on a screen protector.
Ive had a mechnical now for 8 years with sapphire crystal,and I mountain bike,backpack,and white water kayak with the watch on,and not a speck. Screen looks brand new. The bezel is marked up a bit. If this is truly sapphire we are golden.
I want a protector that can protect again finger prints and smudges, not so much for scratch protection. I see a bunch of vertical and horizontal swipe marks on my watch...

I just got this today from Amazon, its a TGSP that's has 98% coverage on the glass its not quite perfect edge to edge. It feels nice and seems to resist finger prints more than the standard sapphire screen. Pictures will be posted below as well. The install was so easy it was a joke, quality seems good so far.

I just got this today from Amazon, its a TGSP that's has 98% coverage on the glass its not quite perfect edge to edge. It feels nice and seems to resist finger prints more than the standard sapphire screen. Pictures will be posted below as well. The install was so easy it was a joke, quality seems good so far.

You use your shirt? I tend to be in the safe side and always carry 1-2 microfiber cloth with me. I had tons of them that I bought for my DSLR and previous phones because smudges really bother me. I'll let you know how it works out; if I forget just quote me on here so I get a notification.
Just a little update the TGSP still shows smudges but not as much as the sapphire do now that's out of the bag
I got the same screen protector as above and removed it after a day. I found that the additional thickness of the glass protector on such a tightly manufactured face made a big difference. It reduced the already barely sufficient visibility in sunlight, provided a channel for dust and debris to gather on my watch face, and reduced clarity ever so slightly.
Nothing wrong with the actual protector, it just wasn't for me. I think I will probably have to go naked which I don't like because I'm not sure I would prefer a non glass protector.

I tried ebay and amazon for the screen protectors .. but none of them shipping to my country... can u please send me one? I am residing in saudia arabia..
Hi, lets put aside "lol it will blow your house" thing...
The main reason i want this phone is screen (well also having a samsung vr would be interesting)
What do u guys think besides that what reasons u guys wont recommend me to buy this phone?
thanks!
It's the best phone currently made, so really no reason not to get it. I think the main thing I don't like is the non-removable battery, which had Samsung put a removable battery in it then the whole recall thing would have been as simple as them sending us a new battery. But overall there is very little to complain about with the phone and a ton of things to like.
The lack of IR blaster is very disappointing.
The credibility of Samsung after the recall.
Question of future updates.
Light leak under the curved glass.
Saying all that I'm still waiting patently for my replacement..
Doesn't make wet coffee only dry. Makes a mess of washing my car.
BUY IT and love it......I have never been so black and white before. Just try and buy one, its hell!
Go go go and get the Note 7........

Anyone that lacks mental bandwidth to use a real phone. In that case I recommend that person to go buy an Iphone where it requires nothing more than swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe and press.
the only reason I can think about somebody not geting a note 7 is not having the money to do it.......
How common is this "light leak" issue? My note gets here tomorrow and I want to make sure it doesn't have any build quality issues. I went through 3 s6s and got stuck with one with a wobbly home button and asymmetrical screen.

My previous Note 7 had the gap (the same gap described as expansion in the user manual and did indeed leak light) Replacement does not have the expansion gap at all, in fact it is just like the S7 Edge in that it is bonded entirely. Very happy with my replacement.

So when I get the phone I just need to check the sides where it curves and make sure the glass is sealed tightly against the metal with no gap?

Also.. Anyone have any luck with a protector working with a case yet? I want the neo hybrid case.
Curved screen makes it almost impossible to get a good screen protector and especially a good screen protector/case combination that plays nice. No IR blaster, no removable battery, audio is pretty crappy (standard crappy, not particularly crappy compared to other phones that aren't enhanced like the HTC and LG flagships), curves on screen get annoying when using s-pen, probably will never get s-off... That's about all I can think of. Oh, and occasional lag which I don't think should happen in today's day and age with these processors and RAM amounts. It's probably just Samsung and their TouchWiz... I think the HTC 10 and LG V10 seem smoother, honestly. Not a huge deal though.

This is only reason I can really think of depending on what you are coming from. I had one before the recall and that one was even worse than this one. I get this with my Nexus 6P which is a year old. I love everything else about it, dunno what people are doing to get 4-5 hours of SOT differently than I am.
Its the best phone out bar none.
That said i find the edge screen useless and annoying...cant even use a glass screen protector. I would prefer a flat screen.
I would prefer a flat 6" screen actually lol.
Would be nice if it had front firing stereo speakers also....my nexus 6 and 6P kill the note in sound.
Other than that i couldnt think of anything else someone may not like about it.

So basically no screen protectors work with a case with the phone. That a major issue for me bcuz I'm ocd and a scratch on the screen will drive me nuts.

Don't get the Note 7. You've already talked yourself into how terrible it is. In fact, don't get any phone, I don't think there is ever going to be one made that would keep you anywhere near glass half full stage.
The phone comes with screen protectosr preinstalled. Both back and front.
One main reason I can think of at least for me is sound quality. Sound quality is not the greatest by far. Hands cover the speaker a lot when holding it. Although it is because the phone is water resistant but still. There is a dual speaker mod though that I have yet to try that could help with this
i have the phone and i like it, but there are definitely reasons not to buy it.
1: you can get a OnePlus 3 for less than half the price, and the only areas the Note 7 "wins" in are subjective stuff like screen quality (i don't believe the human eye can see the difference between 1080p and quad HD) or "i like having a stylus". the Note 7 camera is better, but mostly in low light situation, and the gap isn't nearly as big as Android blogs (and Samsung owners) make it out to be.
2: TouchWiz has cleaned up but it's still not as smooth as just about every other OS out there. people hate on LG, well i'm using a LG V20 right now and it's definitely smoother and snappier than the Note 7. OnePlus 3 too, is smoother than the Note 7.
with that said, the phone IS beautiful to look at. the edge display give it a really cool bezel-less effect, but it's not practical (edge features are redundant) AND makes the phone more likely to break than "normal" phones.
if money is no issue or you are a gadget geek who just like to own the biggest, most hyped it product (i belong in the this group), then by all means, the Note 7 is a worthy purchase. but to the very average consumer, like, say my middle-aged mom? i wouldn't advise her to buy the note 7 for $850 when there are $400 phones that more than gets the job done for daily use.

plastic screen protector works, but yeah, no temper glass ones.
i've tried a few temper glass protectors, they either don't cover the sides, or cover the sides but lack adhesive in the middle, which makes the screen less responsive, especially when typing.
For me it would be the green battery icon All other things I can live with (facepalm)

Yeah I think you have talked yourself out of the phone before even trying it. I see you post on every thread and its something negative about it without even have used it.

goes to show, any cheap or non standard batteries (or even OE) from ebay can easily cause the same issues as samsung have faced.

have you tried the nano/liquid ones? I've given up with plastic and tempered glass crap. Its a better experience not using one at all.
I'm from India and I bought around 4 glasses. All of them had a problem in the side as its a curved screen. Please help me buy a good one from an online site. Honor 8 pro blue.

I had ordered one from AliExpress for around 80rs with free shipping. It has got 3d edge and it's fully covered. Also blue in colour. It was better than the 200rs tempered glass that I ordered from Amazon. You will get more from AliExpress..will have to wait for few days(18-30). Still free shipping. Search honor v9 for more products

Oh that was unlucky to get out of stock.
But u got a best deal.
careful with these TG screen protectors. there's a good reason why they have coloured at the edges/ borders. so you can't really see the halo/ bubbles.
i am actually using sth similar and blue in colour. occasionally, when i tap on screen, i can hear a sound (meaning there's air at the bottom where i was pressing). when i checked with the reseller (i got it free with my phone purchase), they told me yes... there will still be some halo/ bubble since it's near impossible to have any TG SP that can cover completely due to design of the screen on the honor 8 Pro -- edges are slightly curved aka 2.5D.
reseller said there is another type is is "silicone tempered glass". dunno what that means. it's smaller than the screen size but no halo effects. if one is OCD, unlikely one can accept this. i've yet to drop by the shop to check this out. i'll update when i do.
so, what i understand:
* full screen glass is (almost) impossible to get without halo/ bubbles
* full screen film -- you can get easily and done right, no halo
* not full screen glass but should still cover the display area -- possible to get no halo
@mydragoon thanks man..they have a full body screen film on gadgetshieldz. But it isn't glass. What if the screen breaks if it falls down?
I own a Huawei p9 also. The glass is not covering the full screen. True that it satisfies my ocd but watching videos and surfing through the sides is a nightmare. Plus, it's a disaster to look at.

agreed. that's a downside of film over TG. i have a P9 and it's still on film with a case. but there's already a small crack at the bottom bezel. somehow, must have accidentally knocked sth. since it's not a big crack, left it like that. i do wonder what if i've used a TG.
TG that only covers the display area but not the whole screen. i can live with that as i had that for my note 2 (in the past). it did not really distract me when i am watching video and playing games was also ok since it covers more than the display area -- just not covering the whole screen. <-- hope u get what i mean
in the end, diff ppl, diff OCD tolerance level
I got this cover from the official honor site free with my phone from vmall.eu. I also have this TGSP installed:

Actually, no. It's very thin. I usually sport my phones without cases because I don't like the extra bulk but this is hardly noticeable.
