I play guitar, and also recently jumped to a Gnex. I'm just curious, has anyone else found that your calices make it hard to use (like the touchscreen is uncomfortable)? This doesn't really matter, I'm just kinda curious.

i also play, but my thumbs are not callused so it doesnt affect me all that often. sometimes when i pinch to zoom using my left hand i have to either press a little harder, or change the angle of my hand to use the fleshier part of my index finger...but my guess is this is with most touch screens
I figured this wasn't a question even worthy of Q&A so I put it here... But, yeah, I've only found this to happen on my Gnex. Odd.
Maybe a screen protector?
DUDE I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME

My dad works for construction and his hands are completely callised and his hands don't work on my gnex or my moms iPhone or my sisters one x! Curse of being a man I guess.

my fingertipps are completely screwed up from guitar and ukulele, but it feels great when you swipe, its more buttery that way. normal fingers can get stuck sometimes, at least if they're not the total dry sort.

There is a guitarist thread in android off topic in the main forum .
I don't see how you have issue I always use my guitar pick hand not the fret hand. The fret hand is where all the roughness is. Unless you play flamenco.

I do know i have built up a fair amount of calus on my right hand due to a certain thing we guys tend to do and it hasn't harmed my phone skills at all. However my vision is failing.:silly:
Wow! Glad it wasn't just me! I decided to get a simple Verizon screen protector... it did help a little.

My God reading this thread is like being in a universe where no one knows how to spell calloused properly. D:
Anyway my right thumb is pretty calloused from opening my knife a lot so it has become less sensitive on the screen. I have learned to rotate my thumb to use the non-calloused part to use it though.

I normally use my picking hand on my phone, not my fretting hand. But trying it the other way around isn't more difficult to me at least.

Use an old screen protector to mask around it then get some fine sandpaper and buffing wheel, don't forget to suck out the holes if there's no filter

I was thinking of buying Sweet Armor gNote,
So, i want to know if anyone has one ??
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Im kinda wondering the same.. thinking bout getting one. but want to see what others thought bout it first. outside of the high price, lol
Me too. It's hard to see exactly what they look like from the poorly focussed images on their web site. Also, I hear that there's a corner missing or a cuttout in the casing as if they were expecting the Galaxy Note to have an external antenna sticking out which would be off putting. I also heard someone saying there was a problem with the access to the head phones socket that needed fixing. Vwery tempted to buy but hesitant without a clearer picture.
Search function is great.

Is it just me or someone else also experience the fatigue on the right thumb after using the phone extensively ?
Not so much thumb fatigue as much as wrist fatigue, from moving the phone around repositioning to touch different parts of the screen. A tad too big sometimes.
Consider the screen so huge. It strains my thumb

Yeah, usually both fingers due to tapping on the screen religiously.
Think it's called repetitive stress injury or something. Nothing serious I don't think.

Hehe I had the same problem...it went away after I forced myself to use the forefinger to Swype...guess you'll have to alternate hands, and using your fingers more to test the thumb

Lol, you're so hardcore
So I've got one of those sprint kickstand cases. The one that doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone. I dropped my phone today and now it's got a pretty good dent about 3/16 of an inch long and 1/16 of an inch deep. I hate my phone now. I can't stand thinking about it or even using it.
I want some advice and suggestions about my options. Should I try to sell it and get the evo once that comes out? Should I just keep hating it and using it till my upgrade in august? Trade in maybe? I'm open to anything. I can't stand this dent plus gps sucks on this phone.

Dude, I just don't want a dented phone. I'm not sad, angry or upset. I just want suggestions. What you are doing is not helpful. Only a person with low self esteem would say something like that. I'm pretty sure you don't go around saying things like that to people face to face otherwise you would've already learned it is wrong.

Or...or..or, you could call care and ***** about how you NEED an upgrade early because they just announced a new phone. Funny how you would suddenly hate your phone because they just announced the new Evo.
Depending on how useless you are with tools and your hands you could probably buy some other whiny crybaby's shattered screen or a phone with a bad ESN and swap out the part, there is a thread about how to dismantle your phone.
Have you tried sucking the dent out, with your mouth?

It's amazing how defensive people get when someone says something bad about their phone. I don't like my phone. I don't care about yours. I'm not gonna call sprint and ask for an early upgrade. I have an upgrade coming in august.

Guys put a case on your note 2. A case that is in a higher altitude then your screen. if not and you drop it once on the screen or any of the corner, the screen will crack. I dropped it once and it cracked. :crying:
Guys. Put a case on any smartphone that has a glass screen. If you drop it on its face or corner it will likely smash.
Its common sense. Like driving a car drunk. You might make it to your destination safe but your likely going to crash.
Not trying to be an ass, but if you want a phone that doesn't smash get a flip phone
