Tempered glass or phone's screen? - ZenFone 2 Accessories

I have this weird outline on my phone, but I don't know it it is my tempered glass screen protector or if it is my phone's screen doing... something. It is visinle when the phone is off. It is inside the border of my screen and does not cross it.
I am thinking it is the adhesive on the tempered glass that has been cooked from the heat of the screen as it is most prevalent across the top and on the top half of both sides. It is also noticeable just above the home key.

I don't think that's the screen protector. I have been using tempered glass on both my phones and have never seen that.

Yeah. I finally went ahead and bit the bullet and removed my glass screen protector. It is the screen. It is not visible when the screen is on, but shows up pretty well when it is off. Sucks that I had to sacrifice the protector to make sure, though.

if your still under warranty you can get that fixed I just did a few weeks ago with that same problem

Funny you should mention that. I submitted an RMA request this morning.

That is a gap of air between the lcd and the digitizer. It means that is not glued properly.
This happened to me on an old phone, after almost 3 years of daily usage.

Anyone here not using a screen protector?

As the question in title goes, how many of you here are not using a screen protector on your Oneplus 3/3T? What's your experience so far without one? Any good or bad?
As for me, after going through probably a dozen of screen protectors (both TGSP and films), I have decided that it's time I should just not bother with screen protectors anymore, since none of them provide a good/smooth experience as compared to the beautiful naked screen

Ozyl 2.5 works pretty good except for a few rainbows effect at times.

I felt exactly the same when I bought my 3T, I'm using it without any screen protector. Now it has been 5 months since I got it and it's in perfect condition, no scratch at all, etc. The screen can for sure handle some coins or keys in a pocket without any protection.

Been using mine without a screen protector for around 5 months now. Not a single scratch.
I didn't like how bouncy the original screen guard was so i replaced it with a curved, full cover one. But i didn't like the dotmatrix bull**** so i got rid of it.
I actually don't need a screen guard or a case since i almost never drop anything.
EDIT: I also don't put anything other than my phone and maybe tissues in my pocket.
I used the Orzly Screen protector for about Two weeks in December when I first got the phone. Hated it so threw it away and went without one ever since. I use a Spigen Rugged Armor case and that is it. No nicks or scratches so far. I keep it in a pocket by itself all of the time. I remember dropping it twice but it landed on the corners both times and didn't even damage the case..
I tried Orzly V2 but the rainbow effect in the screen was a s**t... So, i tried the rhinoshield: id does not cover all the screen (1 millimeter on the left and 1 mm on the right) but for the moment is the best protector I've ever seen.
I've been using my phone without a screen protector since I've had it and the only way you can see any tiny little surface scratches is with a head torch on and scrutinising the screen surface. As another member has mentioned, I have been using just a Spigen rugged armour case and that's it. The screen won't get badly scratched if you are careful enough, I'll happily accept some light scratches just as part of the wear and tear process.
I have from today started trying an orzly glass screen protector purely because I have fitted a new phone holder bag thing to my road bike and I feel I mike get scratches on the screen through taking it in and out. The orzly isn't bad, especially for the money, but I can see why people don't like it.
Once a screen protector shows its first bubble i remove it. Annoying otherwise. Screen protectors are just worthless to me. Dont expose your phone screen to anything other than your pocket or finger. Get a case with a lip lift so settings your phone down sets it on its case not the screen. Screen protectors are mostly plastic anyway so you get that nasty plastic feel aside from the feel of a touchscreen panel. The feel of using a touchscreen alone is enough to not want the screen protector for me.

Glad i could help. Last time i used a screen protector it was ruined rifht when i put it on. The reason gorilla Glass exists is to prevents scuff and scratches. Screen protectors give it unnecessary help. Its already protecting against shattering and scratches. If you are scratching the screen with normal use then cut your fingernails. Or take the acrylics off, theyre ridiculous anyway.
I'm without any screen protector as well.
As mentioned the only scratches I see are those tiny ones which can be only seen under direct sunlight or under torch and on specific angle.
My heart stopped one day when I dropped my phone straight onto marble, was already searching for rs10000 but the screen fell flat and absorbed the impact, there was not even a scratch on the screen.
Been using from a month without screen protector or back cover, just a skin.
Going pretty well till now, specially when you put sky blue wallpaper with naked screen it shines quite unique.
Maybe you could try.
I've never been a fan of screen protectors. My phone screen is bare and still is as good as new.

Actually it fell exactly parallel to the floor, if it was tilted even a few degrees, screen would have cracked.
Yeah lucky me
I use mine without a screen protector and case. I use a dbrand skin black/red to cover the back and not get a y scratches. For the screen it doesn't have a scratch since I got it. Whenever I put a screen protector or tempered glass, the screen gets blurry and/or not clear.

Whitestone dome problems

So after a few dot matrix screen protectors I lashed out and bought a whitestone dome for my Pixel 3XL.
After 4 "professional" attempts (new screen protector each time) and one at home attempt (thinking the professionals might have been doing it wrong) I can't get these to work.
Every time the whitestone dome has been applied it has spider webs around the edges within a week that makes the edges of the screen difficult to read.
So 2 questions:
1 - anyone else having this issue or know how to resolve?
2 - are there any other full glue screen protectors that cover the whole screen worth investigating (the only others I can find don't go all the way to the edges)?
I've had the same issue multiple times 3 on Pixel 3XL and 2 on a S9+. I believe there's an issue with any pressure being applied to the side of the screen protector slightly lifting it up causing the adhesive to spiderweb.
Odd, there is a clear gap between the screen protector and case all around so shouldn't be anything pressing on it.
Appears screen protectors remain a lottery as there is no clear positive experience with any of them listed I can find.

I believe all screens are not the same. Same screen protector works fine on my wife's, but mine has more curvature at the edges and will not contour.
This problem has been well known for a while now. Whitestone cheaped out on their adhesive they used this time around.
I got 2 warranty replacements and the third time I said forget it. Fantastic protector when it works, but cheapness has struck this company.

Thanks @canada2005 Is there a recommended replacement? I really like the coverage and feel of the Whitestones and can't find anything remotely similar (with or without LOCA).

Screenprotector problem

Im looking for a good glass screen protector. Ive bought 2 so far both having that awefull hole in the middle of the screen and the fingerscan not working
You need to get a screen protector that has glue that needs to be cured under UV light.
A whitestone dome glass screen protector comes to mind but there are others out there that are cheaper (just not as well known)...
Just make sure that you press down over the finger print area while curing so it has minimal glue to interfere with the fingerprint sensor.
Just be aware, depending on the case you use this may also cause the edges to lift. Can be expensive to have an incompatible case on...
Yea ive seen that, but im not into the whole glue thing. My brother has the same inscreen fingerprint on his oneplus 7T with a glass screenprotector without anything visueble. But he ordered one from oneplus store so idk what brand of screenprotectors would look the same

The whitestone dome glass screen protectors glue is not your typical type glue, if you need to remove the protector you can peel them off just like any other and it doesn'tc leave any glue on the screen and the screen looks just like the day you applied the protector.. The Whitestones are expensive so i'd watch some videos before I tried to apply. If done correctly its hard to tell you even have a protector on the phone.

Yea but i read alot of comments saying it crackle after a couple weeks. I dont mind spending 50 € butit has to be a good one
I am using the amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector that I got on Amazon. Its similar the whitestone as it has glue. But it is a lot cheaper $34 for a 2 pack. Took about a half hour to install after watching the video and it really functions well. No issues at all with the fingerprint sensor.

Question Man this outer screen micro scratches easily

Have at least 5-6 of them.
Have a tempered glass UV cover on the way which eliminates them.
Did you peel off the screen protector that came on the outer screen? I won't be taking mine off unless it begins to fall off on its own.

Wow didn't know there was one on the front screen. I took off the protective film that covers the whole phone didn't notice the screen protector on the front tho
The front glass is same as any other Samsung phone. You probably scratched the screen protector.

It really is a good quality protector in combination with a good bumper case.
My S20u had minimal scratches in 8/9 months use, S21u had zero scratches in 6 months use and my Fold 3 is the same so I am good with it.
It also doesn't peel it self off overtime is my experience.
Huawei Mate 20 pro that I had was not as good that Samsung had and Xiami/Poco is horrible piece of junk and worth trowing in the trash

It's very difficult to see or feel, but it's there. Samsung had been factory installing screen protectors on a few models like the Note 10, but then for the Note 20 Ultra, they didn't. At least not in the US. I think the international models still had screen protectors. I can't remember if the Z Fold 2 had one on the outer screen.
Its just a protector tho.
Happen with my note 10+
You can easily swap it out for another or a glass one.
Ill keep mine on until this one looks like crap.
There is zero need for the outside or inside protector unless you use the s pen a ton. Insanity to keep them on. The experience is so much better without them and I had zero problems with the fold 2 taking them off.
No I didn't peel that one off.
Lot of very small scratches.
I know it's on the protector not the screen

I've taken the screen protector off the inside screen of the ZF2 several times when replacing it. Matter of fact, just did it today. I can feel absolutely no difference between the bare screen on the ZF2 and the screen protector on the ZF3. They're both plastic no matter what Samsung calls it. So me PERSONALLY I won't risk scratching or damaging the display when I can't tell the difference in feel anyway. Plus I love the SPen, so I'll use it a lot.

the fingerprints and the screen not being as bright are immediately noticeable to me coming from no screen protector to a screen protector on the fold 3. night and day, as is the non glass feel. i've never used the fold with a screen protector as I bought my fold 2 used with it already removed, had that not been the case perhaps I would have been able to live with it.
with that being said - you don't have to baby this phone with kid gloves. hell, you are probably going to trade it in next year and get the fold 4. so if you don't use the S pen don't be afraid by those warning to take the protector off. that's my main point.

I always baby my devices. Even though yes I will likely be trading it in, I prefer to keep my phone in pristine condition. Again, having compared SP and no SP they both feel the same to me. Plus I WILL be using the SPen.

I still have the international Note 20 Ultra and yes, they come with screen protector from Samsung installed from the factory. The Fold 2 came with outer screen protector. The inner screen one was piece of crap, it scratched so bad pretty much first week. Then after 8 months my foldable screen cracked in the middle by itself. Samsung replaced it under warranty and it came with totally different screen protector, which I am using until today and I don't have any scratch on it at all !! The screen does not feel like rubber at all. I am very happy with the second screen protector that Samsung installed on new screen. BTW, I counted roughly how many times I unfolded the phone before the middle part cracked and I came to number 1 125 folds and unfolds. And that is probably little bit on the high side because I owned the phone for 225 days when it happened and I figured 5 openings per day. But I use mostly the outside cover screen, the inside screen I used only for multimedia. I have no problem using the cover screen for 95% of things I do on the phone.

Just leave it on as long as it's usable. Finding a better replacement may be difficult.
It's actually very tough... I inadvertently tested my 10+'s on the second day by dropping it on a rough edged aluminum angle from 2 feet high. It landed on the curve part of the screen and the case. Marred the protector badly but not the display at all *gulp*.
On the 10+ this is the one Samsung failing that irritated me the most, no factory OEM screen protector replacements. Even there were it be impossible to install.
Whitestone send the wrong protector in the right box... malakas.
Wet apply screen protectors were the easiest to apply and have proved very durable. Gorilla IQ Sheild is what I settled with after 2 fails with self adhering ones.
Close to 2 years and zero damage.

its like night and day when you take it off IMO. like scrolling with glass compared to plastic and the screen protector gets tons of fingerprints. i honestly have no idea how anyone uses this phone with an inner screen protector. unless you are going to be a heavy S pen user I see no reason not to take it off.

Well i usually feel that way with a real glass screen. I do worry about the plastic screen on the inner screen getting scratched. Im torn whether or not I should take it off.

Question Just installed a glass screen protector and FPR won't recognize

I did the steps people have said to do like increase touch sensitivity and re add all the fingers I would use but it still won't work. I don't know who made this protector since I got it off a marketplace site and when I met with the person all he gave me was the screen protector. It was only $5 i got it for so no big deal if it's ****.
Other than that it feels good and everything else works fine.
There are some other threads on here about glass screen protectors. The majority don't work with FP, but there are some that do. Check those threads for info.
In general you need to go for the UV glued type..... All the ones with just glue on the edges will leave an air gap between screen and glass, this heavily impedes with FP functionality.....
Is the brand on Google's approved list?

The air gap has nothing to do with it, the Pixel 6 with its perfectly flat screen has the same problems, my wifes Spigen one has rendered her FPS useless.

I'm not disputing that, i was just clarifying the Pixel 6 suffers the same problem even with a flat screen.
Never had a problem with a 1+ phone using a glass protector over the FPS even with the cheapest crap i could find so as far as i am concerned all the reasons Google are coming out with are absolute cobblers.
So should I just take this thing off or wait for a software update from Google?
I for myself have installed a TPU screen protector presently, awaiting delivery of a UV glass protector as I like those more
I'd hope Google improves the behaviour of the FPS, in how far however I don't know.....
I am currently using the below TPU screen protector and could not be happier with it. My fingerprint scanner works nearly every single time and I have not had an issue. Once the screen protector has been properly applied (I admit, I screwed it up the first time) I cannot even tell that it is on my screen visibly or by touch.
Having said that, I am a little concerned that a TPU screen protector is not as good in general as a glass one. I have not had an issue yet, but I also have not had an accidental drop or anything.
I will also say that I have registered each of my thumbs twice. I will get an occasional "longer" read, and by longer, maybe a half a second longer. However, I have noticed that when that happens, my thumb is slightly out of the read circle. When my thumb is dead center, it reads it every time really quickly.
I am not all that excited about a UV glass protector as I have read horror stories of discoloration and some users not being able to get them off.
Supposedly Google has released their approved screen protectors list. I am not about to spend 50 bucks on a Zagg. The one for Panzer was more reasonable, but it disappeared off their website. The Otterbox is another TPU and I like the one I have:
Amazon.com
I might just take this off and use nothing. I didn't use a protector for my s7 edge or s10+ and didn't get a single scratch. I only got it because I wanted to preserve the oilyaphobic coating. This thing only cost me $5 in the end

yes, it makes zero difference.
Typically with curved screens, you need a full-screen adhesive in order for the FPR to work after installation. Either that, or one with edge adhesive with an area over the reader that also sticks to the screen, but I personally think those are kinda ugly. For the regular P6, my girlfriend ordered a brand called "TOCOL" for a glass protector, which is working great all around.
If/when Whitestone Dome releases one for the P6P, that will be the only really good option. It's either that, or buy an edge adhesive style one, buy LOCA glue and a UV lamp, and DYI it. Only way you're going to have glass and a working FPR.
I'm using a TPU protector and a case. TPU has come a long way tbh, the dry install ones I got feel like a naked screen and give me some piece of mind in regard to small scratches. The case does the rest as far as drop protection. Victus Glass is pretty good for shatter resistance generally, but crap for scratches.
OP, I would remove that one if you want to use the Fingerprint Reader. There isn't a software update that's going to solve that problem unfortunately. I'd just use a decent TPU for now and if you really want glass after you try it still pray for Whitestone Dome. There's another thread on here dedicated to working protectors, I'd check that out and pick one.

If you prefer the 9H glass protectors, you'll have to find a glass protector that is "Google certified" to work with fingerprint reader.
These are glued to the screen to make 100% positive contact with the glass protector.
I'm guessing you have a 9H glass protector like mine that has a very small air gap between the screen and the protector. Even with the enhanced fingerprint reader setting, my fingerprint reader doesn't pick up anything.
The TPU flexible protectors supposedly work well, but I like the 9H glass protectors.
The Google Certified 9H glass protectors that I've found are between $15 - $39 per protector, and many of them are "out of stock" at the moment.
