Hello,
This is my first post on this forum and I just got my note 10.1 2 days ago. Anyways, I am planning on getting a screen protector so my question is, how do you clean your screen? And would using the screen protector interfere with touch functions and the s-pen?
Thanks in advance.
-Ahmed
A screen protector won't effect the S-pen functionality other than the way it feels. I personally don't like using a screen protector with the S-pen but I don't want to risk scratching my screen. With a screen protector the S-pen drags on the screen rather than glide like it does on bare glass.

I'm not sure that you can find this in your country, but there is a kind of screen protector that can make you feel like writing on a paper,
I think the anti-glare one will do the trick, it has a little bit more rough texture than the crystal clear one.
It will make you feel more better when writing.
Spigen utlra-optics, makes the writing in the note much better actually - with a bit of friction like normal writing
Mmmm alright thanks.
How about cleaning the screen from fingerprints and stuff?
You can use any lcd cleaner for cleaning the screen or buy some lcd cleaning wipes that should just fine, use special fabric used for lcd cleaning but incase you cannot find one use any cotton cloth which is soft should be okay

Alright used the one I had for my laptop and it cleaned the screen
One question though, the liquid that came with it can be used right? It won't do any damage since it's a touch screen?
PS: Sorry if my questions are noob-ish, I'm new to tablets.
No it should but just do not apply the liquid on the screen rather spray it on the cloth

read that its bad to do this after i already did it. i did it because i had a screen protector on there, one of those adhesive kinds and it left a sticky residue on the screen so i tried using alcohol to get it off but i couldn't. i heard they have some anti oil surface on these touch screens that gets damaged by alcohol? So is my new phone screwed by the alcohol and how do i get this sticky stuff off.
This is kind of off topic, but Copenhagen snuff ruined my G2x's screen. It took me a few days to figure out where the spot came from. You couldn't really see it until you held it a certain way. It almost looked like a waxy film. So, never touch gorilla glass with copenhagen on your fingers, or never clean your screen with 95% alcohol.

So, have you found out what is OK to use? That's only on the protector? (which I don't use). Is it OK to use directly on the glass?

I took out the screen protector because it was interfering with the touch screen and use the alcohol on the glass haven't used any other cleaner water is good enough I guess
I used eye glass cleaner before putting on my screen protector
this stuff is pretty amazing too http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Guard-Foam-Cleaning-Spray/dp/B0012YCTZM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8 makes it even more smudge/fingerprint resistant even without a protector
will that get rid of the sticky stuff left from the screen protector? i mean i tried alcohol and that didnt even work
It should get rid of it and reapply an invisible protective smudge-resistant coat...what kind of protector did you use? The T-Mobile ones are static adhesive...

Hi guys,
I am buying a sgn 10.1. But i was wondering if a screenprotector will decrease the accuracy and effectiveness of the spen.
Anyone some experience on this part ?
Cause i cant stand scratches on screens so was thinking of adding a protector but dont want the funcionality to decrease!
thx!
I don't think that it would, maybe at worst some loss in pressure sensitivity occurs (so you have less than 1024 levels), due to the 1mm or however thick the screen protector is.
l don't think you will lose any sensitivity because the pen uses magnetic inductance to operate which is why the pen does not need batteries.
l have a screen protector on my phone which is the small version of this tablet and there was no difference when the screen protector was applied. I am waiting for Samsung torelease their official screen protector in the UK for my 10.1 Note.
Don't buy Zagg or any like it
Just be sure not to buy a Zagg.
Bought one the same day as the Note at BestBuy.
Screen protector is so sticky you won't be able to use the pen at all.
I won't slide on the screen, and it won't register correctly.
It has nothing to do with the "cure" time, left the protector in for 2 days, same results.
Zagg is flexible and rubber like, will render the pen useless.
Buy a "static" type of screen protector, they are almost not flexible at all.
It's working perfectly now that I have it.
Under the "accessories" part of the forum you should be able to find several on Amazon.
Avoid ZAGG!!!

haha yeah, I pulled it off my tablet pc and cut it to size. it fits and works perfectly! i have one scratch on that thing after hard abuse and that was from dropping a knife on it
i regularly leave my keys sitting on top of the protected screen actually.
the back plate of the note 10.1 is terribly soft though, I have lots of micro scratches on it and I've been taking pretty good care of it.

Lol Now that is one tough mudder
I have the anti-glare screenprotector.
It vworks fine with the Spen, accept that the pen actually scratches the protector.... I think I need somthing stronger.
I tried to see if WhiteShield has one, but only for the Tab. I sent them a request message for the Note.....we'll see.
What is anyone else using, and does your Spen scratch the protector?
Thanks

Try using the CLEAR spen nib you found in your Note 10.1 box on the screen protector. It should slide easier.
I only use screen protectors for wacom from strongengineering.com. Unless they have changed their formula the screen protectors always have a nice paper feel. I simply love it. You can feel and hear the resistance of the nib when the cover is brand new. After a time and a lot of cross hatching and drawing it smooths out a bit. This is my very personal preference. I can't stand smooth glass-like screen protectors for drawing.
My position on screen protectors is this:
With the quality and hardness of the plastic coatings on most decent Android devices in the last 3 years, a screen protector can only be a net *downgrade* in terms of scratch-resistance and screen quality.
Scratches (and often fingerprints) will show up more on a screen protector than on the bare screen because a screen protector is usually less hard than the screen itself. This will particularly be the case with a pen stylus (ie one with a fine tip, as opposed to a capacitive stylus) which won't scratch the bare screen (because it's hardened) but will over time create wear marks in a screen protector in "high traffic" parts of the screen.
Granted, having the screen protector means that once the scratches all over it get too much, you can just pull it off (and replace it). And that is indeed the point of a screen protector. But I'd rather not have dullness from scratch marks all over my screen protector to begin with. It's a bit like the people who have plastic covers on their couches so they don't get stained. It ruins the whole point of having a nice couch surface. Reminds me of the quote "life is not a dress rehearsal". You may as well benefit from your scratch-resistant hardened plastic screen now rather than cover it, saving it for a day in the future that never comes.
All that said, some screen protectors are better than others and there are probably decent ones around. And there's nothing wrong with having a protective cover on the *back* or edges of your device, since this isn't a crucial operative part of the device.
There's no possible way a screen protector can negatively affect the way the pen works, as it's based on an electromagnetic field. So maybe if it were a metallic screen protector it would be an issue. The "grippiness" of a screen protector could be a problem though. Some are grippy and some not. Grippy ones like Zagg will render the pen practically unusable.
Would I be able to use the hinge method to fit my anker tempered glass screen protector? Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't recommend it. IIRC, the hinge method relies on being able to bend the screen protector to keep it as close to the screen as possible in order to avoid unnecessary bubbles. Obviously with a piece of glass, it's not advisable to bend it. Using the hinge method with a glass screen protector would help with the alignment still, but I think the most important thing is to keep to screen protector relatively flat and as close to the screen as possible to avoid getting dust or lint in between.
I was able to follow the included instructions in the Spigen GLAS.t and it was applied just fine. If it's a properly designed piece of glass, it should be flush to the screen without causing bubbles, so the hinge method isn't really necessary anyways.

HELP ME GUYS, I was just installing the damn skinomi screen protector (I hate it now BTW) and after leaving my phone rest over the night so that the installation liquid evaporates.
And this morning I noticed something weird on the screen, IT WORKS PERFECTLY, THE DIGITIZER WORKS, but I thought it was remains of the liquid between the screen protector and the screen itself. I removed the screen protector 'cause it didn't feel right AND SURPRISE THE STRANGE THINGS ARE ON THE SCREEN (OR BELOW IT).
Here's an image of how my screen looks now. What do you think happened? will it disappear? What do you recommend?
PD: I'll never install a liquid installation screen protector. and just to be clear i just poured liquid on the sticky side of the f*cking skinomi I never let my screen get wet.
Did you try wiping it hard with a moist cloth may be?
Looks like the screen protector removed the oleophobic coating of the LCD...
BTW, which browser is it that you're using? Love the chrome tab style interface...
Looks like the oleophobic coating got fūcked. Wipe it with a microfibre and some LCD cleaning solution and see if it helps.
That's dolphin browser.
Try wiping it with LCD cleaning liquid.
Was your phone off overnight?
And the liquids usually need to go on the device themselves and not the protective sheet.
Next time go with spigen.
Glass screen protectors ftw.

Thanks guys, but wiping with a microfiber cloth doesn't seem to work.
Yes the phone was off during the night.
This is really ironic, the entire toych screen works but those ugly stains makes the experience really annoying
I actually get more of a feel as if the marks were caused when you were squeegee-ing out the extra liquid... The perfectly parallel lines give more than impression... And the fact that on the left the lines are at a different angle, and on the right at a different angle...
I've never had any problems with my wet screen protectors... But then again... Iv never used skinomi...

Actually, I'll do that, F'ck Skinomi screwed my phone's beaty
As has been said the directional state of the marks point to pressure damage. Go with Spiegen glass as someone said. I swear by them, and their cases.
If you have any of the liquid left I'd put it on a cloth and gently rub. That may be dry residue. Hard to tell. If it is adding some more in liquid form should remove it. I've never heard of it removing the oleophobic coat as it's very tough

Huawei P30 Pro Spigen Screen Protector Review
Need a screen Protector for your P30 Pro? Spigen Neo Flex for the Huawei P30 Pro:
Here is the link to the video: https://youtu.be/gHxA46EoALs
Please read this as it might answer your questions without having to watch the video above.
I am going to be installing the Spigen Neo Flex tpu screen protector on the Huawei P30 Pro. So what do you get inside the package? 2 screen protectors, the application fluid and yes this is a wet install, we also get a microfiber cloth, dust removal stickers and the squeegee. Now time to start the application, Firstly leave a spigen case on your p30 pro as it helps to align the screen protector, then using the microfiber cloth give the screen a good wipe. Once done and the screen is clean use the dust removal stickers to remove any residual dust or lint particles.
Now take the application fluid and spray it on your fingers and peel the backing off the screen protector and give the back of it a good spray as it makes it easier to line up the protector. Once aligned use the squeegee to make a vertical parting along the centre of the screen. Then using the squeegee gently remove the liquid from under the screen protector pushing it out from the centre of the screen to the edges, once this is done using the cloth gently push the edges down so they stick to the curved edges of the screen and then wipe any excess fluid from the screen protector and from around the p30 pro. There will be some bubbles left and a little fluid under the screen protector but trust me give the phone 6 to 24 hours and a perfectly applied bubble free screen protector.
Visibility is perfectly fine and there are some slight gaps around the screen protector making sure that it works with cases. The surface has a slight orange peel look to it but it is very smooth to the touch, The fingerprint sensor works perfectly as if the screen was bare, it does pick up some finger grease but no more than a glass protector and they wipe off with ease. I have tried this screen protector with all the official cases, spigen cases and Ringke cases and it works perfectly. The alignment is perfect and overall a highly recommended screen protector for your P30 Pro.

Best Huawei P30 Pro Full Adhesive Glass Screen Protector
The Best Huawei P30 Pro Full coverage, Full Adhesive Glass Screen Protector, Link to the Video: https://youtu.be/xnBzU40oVkw
Please read below before watching the video as it may answer your questions.
oday I am going to be installing a full adhesive glass screen protector on the Huawei P30 Pro made by a company called Anewsir. So what do you get inside the package? 2 glass screen protectors, the application glue, dry and wet wipes, a battery powered UV lamp and dust removal stickers. Now time to start the messy application, Firstly then using the alchol wipe give the screen a once over then using the dry wipe remove any excess fluid. Once done and the screen is clean use the dust removal stickers to remove any residual dust or lint particles.
Now take the bottle of glue and let it pour out slowly onto the centre of the screen giving it a minute or so to ensure the glue is fully expelled from the bottle. Some top tips before applying the glue make sure the surface your Huawei p30 pro is laying on is level and p lace a small cloth or tissue under it to absorb any glue that might seep out during the installation. Time to peel the backing off the glass screen protector and slowly line it up with the screen using the notch as a reference point and now lay it down gently and sit back allowing the glue to spread evenly to every edge and corner of the screen protector. Don’t move the P30 Pro or the screen protector at this point as it can cause bubbles to form. Time to cure the glue, switch on the UV lamp and move it slowly up and down the screen slowly for 3 minutes, wipe the phone down and done.
As you can see the visibility is great and there are some slight gaps around the screen protector including the notch, making sure that it works with every case I tried such as the official, spigen and Ringke cases. The surface has a smooth oleophobic coating on it making it a breeze to slide your finger around, The fingerprint sensor works just as well as if no screen protector is being used, it does pick up some finger grease but no more than any other glass protector and they wipe off easily. The alignment is perfect plus being glass it is more protective in a drop than the tpu style screen protectors, overall a highly recommended screen protector for your P30 Pro.

Diggin' the Huawei Flip Cover Case
I have never been a fan of flip cover cases... but for the first time, I am really liking Huawei's flip cover case. Closes nice a tight... Looks good and is not at all bulky like other flip cases can be. The only time I can see me going back to my Huawei Silicon case is when I know I'm going to take a lot of pictures, like at a concert or something, to avoid having to keep flipping open and to have a slightly better grip on the phone. The only other weird issue I found is that I cannot use the flip cover close and hook up to Android Auto... Doing so creates a white bar at the top on my radio screen, don't know if this is due to my cars radio or it is something that follows the phone when using that case... maybe someone else can try it out, would be curious if they see the same thing... However, if I disconnect, open the cover and turn it behind the phone then hook up to Android Auto, everything is fine... Weird bug but easily overcome... :good:
Glass screen protectors are cool on curved screens, but for a few days/weeks. Then they start to wear off.. I'd want to hear after a while you've been using it, and especially with a case on the phone as well...
I think i am going to wait to see what noreve's case is going to be like, it shows at the moment as they are in the middle of making them, they are usually extremely good quality though

It is the smart view case... I have seen notifications on it but I only think it's for the baked in apps. I guess I haven't paid a lot of attention since it takes just as much time to just flip it open then look then worrying about the smart view screen. I also don't have it on wake for notifications which I think may play a part. Let me mess around with a few settings and see what I come up with :laugh:

its not a major issue but if the official one does show them I may have to get one.
