Any report of sluggish on the new firmware ? ... i read some review say it is sluggish

Refer to last post
S.O.S

aiks....didn't realize it N7000...sorry guys...

Same like mine...when i run on data or Wifi, battery run like wild horse ....damm fast like every 5- 10 min usage drop 2%. As for the ideal night time i would lost 1% -2% in the process....

So far not much changes made...just root and exchange internal and external SD card mod as for rest is stock based.....maybe is the pegasus kernel ...previous my phone wasn't like that when stock kernel...

Finally... My MIME tempered glass screen protector had arrive. It seem it much more different from the video shown as there is no nice box (Probably save shipping cost)...Here my open box review


Small postage packing without box . Probably box package only applied to US delivery only. Neverless cardboard look solid with packaging but still not very protective is someone decided to fold them into half

Front view:


Back view:


Side View:


Upon opening package, i notice that there is alot of thing stack on each other.

Open package:



Upon sort out the package, Here what i get.
1. Screen protector are place in envelop like ang pow like form (aka red packet) but in black color.
2. Instruction menu
3. Chewing gum (That right, They give chewing gum to you as compliment),
4. Thank you paper stick chewing gum that well translated in malay and english with cute bridge drawn
5. Home button
6. lint free cloth
7. purple plastic screen protector
8. Squeegee

Insider package:



After i open the angpow, There it is the tempered screen protector glass. Shining and new.

Inside the angpow (aka red packet):



Simple stress test to check the hardness:



At the moment my review is until here. I will try to apply the screen protector later to check on the smoothness.

Yes, It about rm130+ ...but look bright side, you get chewing gum

Based on the calculation of the US postage cop & the website trackin. it takes about 8 days

Haha~!!...I still haven't patch up the my phone screen... but overall, i would give them 4 stars for great service and inside stuff they provide but not for the packaging as it look flimsy and could easily bend if not care. Plus there is no "do not stack" or "Broken glass" stickers outside the package...

Last week i check if you buy on fathers day, you get further discount...wasted, i brought a few week early

Well there is one thing lack of most of us wanted so far....LTE connection which note 2 doesnt have...frankly i don care much about the thing inside note 2 beside battery, connection and larger screen.....apparently i think note 3 abit far to larger on the screen...but we will see....sooner or later society going to accept them anyway even it so big that required 2 hand to hold a phone to their ears...

Muhaha...That would be nice but not at the moment when google is still first selling it...bet the price will be sky rocket for small glass until it had been mass market with different brand...

Not that we know off...currently the new update still 4.1.2

Part 2 of review on the tempered glass screen protector

So last night, come back eagerly having my old screen protector remove and install the tempered glass screen protector...

Looks of the new touch screen:



The tempered glass screen protector look tight as it was only made to protect mostly on the screen and the soft key button. I mean very close to the edge of the screen

Corner after assemble:



After assemble i had try out the smoothness and found it quiet good plus is like having another layer of glass on top of your touch screen ... it feel good

Now the problem start to occur if you notice along the edge of the screen.You will find the the tempered glass screen protector doesn't sit much nicely there because the nature on note 2 phone tend to curve on the edge while tempered glass screen protector cant curve and bend like plastic screen protector do. There will be leak along the edge with bubble. not sure if it will go away for next 2 -3 days have to wait and see.

Update: Just received a bad copied of the tempered glass. Refer to below link on the reply from MIME at post #666

MIME response to bad copied tempered glass

Bubble along the edge:

P/S: Side note though after review written... Maybe my Kung-Fu not that good install the screen protector

Maybe had to wait for other to try and see before going to full steam ahead and implement tempered glass screen protector...

I brought it from this website, Where they do crazy custom wallpaper though out the entire shell phone...but somehow i lost the sites already...i try to find for you...

This, I think you will no see the bubble as it fit the front cover instead of certain highlighted area...

Here your go:

Hydra Skins

It takes a while for me to re-call in my memory jog....getting old like pentium 2 *sigh* . There is also some china lookalike alternative as well and cheaper too...

The method used is about the sample apply to plastic screen protector.

Always find a flat surface and clean spot away from fan or window...and have enough light source to spot out the dust. When apply screen protector lay you phone down, don't hold them and never used your breath to blow the dust you might not know the saliva will stay on the screen. instead used tape or lint free cloth to take out the dust... Make your screen protector lay down down once your confidence with the alignment. Best is only 1 times, adjust you may but try to minimize that. Always kept your finger nail clean or just tools to ply the edge for adjustment else you would had debris under your finder nail stick to screen protector..

There is not much different the screen, you still get finger print smudge if you hand is greasy enough...Just that makes you feel safe with extra glass protection...
