I didn't realize our phone has gg4. Pretty cool.
Cool to know!

I had no idea either. I assumed it was GG3!

So I think it's safe to say to the folks over in the ''tempered glass Screen protector" thread that they should be blaming Corning for their halo problems.

Why should they blame Corning? They bought a flat, solid screen protector and put it on a screen with curved edges lol.

wow me having to replace my cracked screen loses that GG4............
I'm sure it depends on when your note 4 was manufactured. If it was version 3 or 4?

There is v3 or v4 of Note 4?
How do you find out what version your note is?
I'm only going by when corning released the glass. I'm sure Samsung is using the latest 4 once it was made available.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
According to Corning and Samsung, the Note 4 only shipped with GG4.
There is no mention of GG3 in any documentation or press releases from Samsung and Corning states the Note 4 uses GG4.

It's actually very relevant. Yes, glass will always break/crack/shatter. However, GG4 has been proven to be able to take quite a bit more of a beating than GG3 before breaking. Every little bit helps.

So does this thing have it like the rest of the gs line? The curved glass makes me doubt it... and isn't this the only galaxy s phone with the Teflon coating?

I would imagine, Samsung said they implemented it in the SAMOLED itself, look at video with the guy shooting his Tab, not a scratch on it.

Jeez, every thread I read has you in there bashing the s in some way.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
In my opinion the only reason it isn't a GG is possibly due to the Contour Display. I'm not too familiar with the production process of the screen, but it may be a factor.
But for all we know it could be just for cost-cutting purposes.
What teflon coating is there?
I got to play with one today and the glass screen felt rough, is that the coating? I thought maybe it was a screen protector but didn't know...

Google's just trying to make up the money they lost on the N1.
The teflon coating people are asking about is the oleophobic coating on the screen.
I absolutely love my galaxy note, butI'm tired of wiping my phone because of the greasy finger marks. Will a screen protector eliminate this? And i know wash your hands lol
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well, unless there are some with anti finger mark technology that I've never heard of before, you'll never eliminate then all together.
But, certainly the ones I've used in the past and use currently, although the prints aren't as noticeable, they are still there and need the screen still needs wiping.

The Zagg InvisibleShield does a very good job eliminating fingerprints, but of course, you can't get rid of them entirely.

No, click on InvisibleShields at the top. Go to "Browse other devices". On the right of the page there will be three drop down boxes. Select "Cell phones" in box 1. "Samsung" in box 2. Then in box three scroll down. You will see two Galaxy Notes. European and US. The N7000 is the European / International model.
I have bought the Case Mate HD Screen Protection Kit - Anti-Fingerprint Scratch Resistant Film. The fit was great and it drastically reduced marks from handling. It achieved this, though, at the expense of clarity. I for one could not use it for more than a few days. I went for a clear SGP and although more fingerprint prone at least the image is not fuzzy.
Can I do anything to fix it? It's only a small scratch but it's quite annoying. Brasso? Toothpaste?
So much for Gorilla Glass!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Sadly no, and brasso and toothpaste doesn't even work effectively on a cell phone screen. Should have got a screen protector

Yep get a protector, I don't know how I scratched my screen as I treated my N4 like my precious... Yet my G300 with the original Gorilla Glass is still scratch free! GG2 is just not as good.
just get an eraser and erase it or buy a new one

You can't get the scratch out. but as far as screen protectors go, I'd recommend Best Skins Ever. I've had mine on for awhile and they work great, Minimal orange peel effect and they feel really smooth. You have to be really careful during install though, so if you don't have a steady hand, get someone else to help.
Cheers for the somewhat depressing comments. Have now bought a skin. Bolting horses and locking stables spring to mind!

That is the thing... My galaxy Ace screen only had 2 scratches (from when i dropped it on a rock ), but my N4 screen got scratched over 1 week of usage? That is weird.
Get Amzer shatterproof, they hammered the hell out of the screen and it didn't crack. It is 30$ though, I got a ZAGG but it peels up at the edges so I might get amzer

To be honest i am kind of angry. I had to take off my screen protector, and because you can only buy it online in Poland,I had to wait 1 whole week before applying a new one. Now I never left it on front glass, and I had a case, but the front screen is still pretty scratched... and it was just 6 days!
I don't know if this is gorilla glass or not, but it sucks.

Are you angry at yourself? What`s your point
I ordered some note 2 glass screen protectors cause I thought I would have the n2 for quite some time but I came across a deal I couldn't pass up on Craigslist for a note 3. So I put the n2 glass screen protector on the n3. It fit pretty decent for being for a N2. It would fit even better if I wouldn't have put it on crooked lol. The glass screen protectors were 10 dollars shipped on eBay.

Thats actually a good idea. I just got my Note 3 yesterday and my screen protectors are not coming in until Monday. In the meantime I was afraid of something happening. I am going to throw my spare Note 2 screen protector on it for now.
The phone has gorilla glass 3, I have yet to scratch an old pos HTC thunderbolt or skyrocket. Money better spent on a square trade warranty.
Currently I put iSmooth Note 2 screen protector as temporary.
MIME will come tomorrow.

That sucks, but general use won't damage a screen, that takes some serious abuse.
Body guards makes a good glass protector, worth the $.

Sand and glass don't mix, a possible bur on keys, I've already jammed a aluminum flashlight into my pocket with the phone against the screen, no sharp edges, it did no damage. If you wear a ring with exposed stones, that too can damage. In and out of a clean pocket will do nothing, unlike the older phones.
I'd never let my fiance use a phone without a screen protector, she'd damage it in a day, depends how conscious you are of the screen.
Still cheaper to get a square trade at this point, 99 and then 100 deductible, replacing the screen is very difficult on this phone, you are more likely to break more in the process, plus it is still more $ than the warranty. Best of luck.

I had this exact problem when I initially installed my screen protector. It was extremely tough to use the S-Pen and felt extremely rubbery. The next day, I tried the S-Pen again and it was absolutely smooth and normal.
I think that there was something left on the screen protector after I initially removed the thin plastic film that they stick to it for shipping.
Prepare to be severely disappointed with scratch resistance. It scratches at a level 3 hardness.

Corning says all glass falls into level 5-6 hardness.

A lot of good Gorilla Glass 5 did for me... two days after getting my phone I drop it 6 inches onto concrete and the screen cracked. It landed on the vulnerable corner of the screen. I've submitted an insurance claim but it's backordered and it will still cost me $250. The Sprint store said they could do a screen replacement for $100 but they won't have the part for 3 months! I can't believe this... I've never ever broken a screen before, I always treat my phone as if it were worth its weight in gold (which isn't too far from the truth). I had a case on order at the time, but it hadn't arrived yet, just my luck.
