U forgot 1 thing bro . 0.4mm thickness , most manufacturer refer to glass thickness . There are additional layers 2 add in so total , for most Glass SP , it's around 0.5-0.6mm thick. Brando for example is 0.2mm glass thickness but actual thickness is 0.48mm , almost 0.5mm .
The difference between a cheap n expensive Glass SP is the additional layer . The thinner is it , the pricier .

See post 9. There is no real solution to this for now.

I think this "Prevention notification" only pops out once there is an app performing "illegal operation"?

As I mentioned earlier I never install any new app, but I recall this Android Clock & Weather Widget just got an update yesterday. Just for testing purpose, I removed this widget from my home screen, and until now this warning doesn't comes out anymore. biggrin.gif

My guess is, there are many users with many different app installed and one or two of their apps may doing "naughty" operation then only triggered this warning?

The FC is due to the notification, but you still can launch the Email app without any problem.

hmm,

joytest, how's your explosion proof glass holding up in the aspects of oleophobicity, hydrophobicity, smoothness, ease to clean screen of smudge, ease of smudge and dust along the corners?

So bro, the 0.2mm from brando is the overall thickness or just one of the layer? The rounded one is 0.48mm overall thickness right?

I'm fine with mine, I just wipe it every few days. I don't have OCD. tongue.gif

I guess it looks like an 0.5mm thick slab and it's still fine.

I suggest people look at a ruler with 1mm markings and see whether they can distinguish 1mm and 0.5mm.

The good of it is you get a clear view and a very tough screen protector. The overall surface is as smooth as a naked screen, and it is highly prone to scratches.

You can actually search online and have a look of it through reviews or YouTube
At first I thought is due to the DPI setting but setting it back to normal doesn't help. Until now I can't find the root cause of it.

dude, highly prone to scratches? highly prone = very easy to get scratched. So means the glass sp will be full of scratches? blink.gif

I don't play games on my iPhone and I don't plan to with my future mobile devices. I have a hard time choosing note 3 and iPad mini mainly because I suspect the mini will be priced around 1299 maybe? A note 3 will set me back around 2k. So that is just paying an extra 700 for a better camera and a phone which I think is reasonable. I like to browse the web(mainly sites like forbes etc, not social media sites) when I am in restaurants with wifi, so I think the mini and n3 is suitable for me because they are not as big as the iPad air and not too small like the 5S/5/4. I like note 3 because I can stuff it into pocket and the S pen is in its league of its own. But on the other hand, I am not sure but Samsung gives me the impression that they don't really care about their older users in terms of software updates. Once they sell their products to u, u are expected to stick with the same software forever eg 4.3 for the case of note 3. Besides, I also do online banking, is android safe? Thanks.

fuh very long essay, i read also blur, can put in point form? lol

about the software side, you should not worry. samsung will ALWAYS transfer the new features to the older phones via an update a few months later. For example, my s2 starts at 2.3.5>2.3.6> 4.0>4.1, it ends at 4.1 after 2 years. After one year where your warranty expires you can actually try out custom roms that you can get online, that is the benefit of android. Even when 4.1 is the last version for s2, i actually had 4.2 half a year earlier by using custom roms. Custom roms also provide many other features not available in the official roms.

features wise they will also transfer, like note 2's multi window was transfered to note 1 and s2 via an update, and note 1 received most of the new features of note 2 and s2 received some of the new features of s3 and s4 like smart stay. Recently samsung released an update to transfer some of the note 3 features into note 2, like the air command. so i can guarantee you, you will receive new things for at least 2 years, then you can venture into the modding community of the android platform to satisfy your update desires.

There's roms that is being updates daily or 'nightly', every night they update it, if you're addicted to upgrading then this will please you lol.

if budget is ur main consideration and wish to own the best of both world...i may suggest you take note2 + ipad mini /air. for online banking, i only install maybank2u apps on my iphone, not my android. note2 will get update soon and most of the note3 function will also enjoy in note3.

I won't make any recommendations, but personally I prefer glass. FYI mine is a cheapo glass sp meant for the Note 2, but it just fits enough to cover the viewable screen area.
