tl;dr: I put on a LOCA screen protector, but the fingerprint scanner did not work.
So when I received my S10+, I immediately went to my nearest mall to buy a tempered glass screen protector, because I was afraid that I would drop it, and crack my shiny new phone. They showed me a LOCA screen protector and they said that it supported the in-display fingerprint scanner, and because the whitestone dome glass was also LOCA, I agreed to buy it. When I got back home, first I removed the plastic screen protector, then removed any fingerprints or dust, then I carefully put on the LOCA glue in the middle, then put the glass on, tiled it left and right to make sure the glue fully touched the glass and placed it on the table, then UV cured the top, middle, and bottom, each for 15 minutes. After it was done, I carefully used a razor blade to remove excess, making sure not to remove the glue touching the glass, then powered on my S10+. The touch was working normally, so I went into settings, searched fingerprint, and tried to register my finger, but it kept saying "Press a little harder", or "Make sure your finger fully covers the fingerprint scanner", etc. I pressed harder, but nothing happened. So I went to the mall again and decided to exchange for a plastic screen protector. So if you don't want to waste money, DO NOT BUY A RANDOM BRAND SCREEN PROTECTOR. Even if they tell you its LOCA or that it supports the in-display screen protector, don't buy it unless its a Whitestone Dome Glass or another screen protector that has been confirmed to work with the fingerprint sensor, in which case go for it.
I think even with the Whitestone Dome you had to press on the fingerprint area while curing to make sure the fp scanner worked. So I'm guessing it would be the same with the non Whitestone ones.

No need to press on the FP during curing with Whitestone. Just do some extra curing and first at the bottom.

Curing for 15mins??? Was this a personal decision on your part to cure for 15 minutes? To the second post, yes you're correct that Whitestone Dome updated their instructions to push down on the sensor in between curing sessions.

Yes, it was my personal decision since I searched up how long to cure and the search result i saw said 15 mins so I randomly decided to do that, but also see edit, I did top, middle, bottom each for 15 mins, so should've been enough, the bottom for a bit more longer. After knowing it didn't work, cured it for 2 hours, but it still didn't work.
I tried the WhiteStone on my S10+ and it didnt work too well... even after following each step to the T. The FP was hit and miss each time, became annoying really quickly so off it came
I did think it might have been an error on installation but checking out the Amazon reviews, many people have the same issue.
I think a good idead would be a Tempered glass protector with a cutout for the FP sensor which is then covered by a TPU attached to the glass
Anyway, thats me done. Taa
I installed a ''ramdom'' brand instead of White Stone because it was much cheaper and came with 2 protectors. I did press a little at the bottom where the sensor is located. And the sensor was working, but not very reliable. Now with the new update for biometrics it has improved a lot.
My experience with the Whitestone on the S10+:
My first install I got a huge bubble. This is despite having done about 5 installs on my S9+ I upgraded from. I mistakenly dropped the pin when the glue hit the arrows instead of when the glue touched the glass. I did the cleaning of the phone and glass before curing. Note: I couldn't get the absorption pads in, so it made a huge mess in the tray.
Second install was with my "cleaned" glass. The install went much better. There were two annoying but acceptable bubbles. I only noticed them on white bg or when the screen was off. The FPS was very hot or miss. Turned out there were micro bubbles barely noticeable below the FPS and below the speaker. Apparently they were causing a problem even though it wasn't where the sensor was. It was enough to throw it off. I did the 1 minute press at install. Success rate was about 2/10.
I contacted WSD about how to do a warrenty, using Facebook messenger. I was willing to pay for the replacement. I figured the error was in my cleaning of the glass. They ended up sending out the replacement for free. No pictures or anything needed.
Third install went off without a hitch. The replacement shipped with the absorption pads installed. They now hook into the top tray instead of putting into the bottom. I did the 1 minute press and cured 2 or 3 minutes each top and bottom. Success rate is now 17/20, which is just as good or better than what I got on my 9+. The latest patches seem to help a ton.
Notes:
I'd read someone say after the latest patch to redo finger prints with a little pressure as possible. This seems to have made a big impact for me.
I've read that if you're hands are dried out, that can affect things. I definitely have more problems when my hands are dried out.
Sometimes my thumb will move slightly during the scan. This results in an almost definite fail.
Lifting my thumb too fast seems to contribute to fails. If I leave my thumb on until it clears, I have almost perfect recognition.
How to do choose tempered glass screen protector for any brand mobile
One thing that comes hand in hand with a new smartphone is screen protector. Two major materials for a screen protector can either be a plastic film or tempered glass. Tempered Glass screen protector is preferred over the plastic screen protectors because it offers better protection. So, what could be some of the criteria in choosing the best-tempered glass screen protector? To help you choose the right one, I carefully selected the 4 criteria below:
Toughness
Touch sensitivity
Edge to Edge cover
Smudge-Proof
This is some key criteria when choosing the screen protector
Maybe buy a flip case and leave the Samsung fitted protector
I considered various options then decided a working fingerprint sensor was more important to me than a glass screen protector so just bought a faux leather flip cover with magnetic clasp (£2.99 on eBay)
What I noticed with the whitestone is that it takes a few days for the fingerprint scanning to get better. Its still not as good as without a screenprotector, but on day 1 i couldnt even register my fingerprint, since then every day its a bit better.
Recently purchased the whitestone dome glass and installed it. Been using it for almost a week now and fingerprint scanner works pretty well for me (95% of the time). Was hesitant due to bad reviews but gave it a shot and I'm pleased with it. I followed the instruction video on their website and installed with no problems.

I ended up buying the Neo Flex Screen protector and Spigan neo hybrid case absolute brilliant so glad I did. I've had them on now for about 2 months working in the building trade so my screen goes through a lot dust and all sorts and this screen protector has done brilliantly.

I recently got a couple of small light scratches on my s10+ i am hoping they are just on the film protector that already on the phone and not the screen itself.
I bought a glass protector on Amazon, the one on this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SZP3WRH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't really read the reviews as such at first but after i have received them noticed only 1 person had reviews that has my phone saying the finger print sensor doesn't work and also pointed out that all the other 5 star reviews had been added on the same day, so after looking again they do all seem a bit dodgy.
I have been reluctant to open the pack and try them and have opted to just get a refund instead.
I am in the uk, does anyone know any glass protectors on Amazon that are actually good and do work with the fingerprint scanner, or will only the film ones work? My only problem with the film ones is the air bubbles and also the fact i think will be awkward to fit around the corner of the screen. I assume the glass ones would just fit around perfectly?
Any help would be great
Thanks
James
The S10+ uses ultrasonic waves for its fingerprint authorisation whilst other phones use optical (light). The ultrasonic works by 'reading' the bumps and grooves of your finger, including their location and depth. Because of this technology, a glass SP would need to be mighty thin but more importantly be in full contact with the scanner area of the screen
Whitestone Dome had originally thought it managed this by using a UV activated liquid glue to eliminate any space. The trouble is as soon as you press on the FP area, the dynamic of the glass and space changes, which is enough to give an error when scanning. Whitestone recently updated its instruction to press on the FP scanner for a minute or so before fully curing. But even this is not enough to prevent the minute shifts in the glass and glue to cause an error
The reviews for the Whitestone are hit and miss (i tried it myself but it did not work well for me)....so LSS, there seems there is no feasable glass SP for the S10+ at present
Your next best option is a dry applied TPU film - there are some good 4 stage application ones where you first place it on the screen, then fold back one half and squeeze it onto the screen with a hard card, then fold back the other half and do the same. Lastly, you just remove the protective cover
It doesnt give full edge-edge coverage but works well with the FP scanner, case friendly and leaves no bubbles
Hope this helps
I second meddylad only because I also couldnt get whitestone to work what so ever. Tried 2 different times and they both times failed. Bought a zagg film which has the apply one side at a time without bubbles and it protects my front camera. Now they sent me out a glassfusion(it what they called it) got here today but havent installed it yet. Took it out to see if it was glass but it bends to easy so I'm thinking it's more like a harder plastic
Any brand that use glue with uv can work with s10. Just make sure when u install, on the finger print portion u need to push it while u dry the glue with uv light. I had done many times with success
the whitedome works.. except after a while.. bubble will form out of no where along the edge and more and more will appear from out of no where
Just curious..whats wrong with the one comes default..i think s10+ comes with default samsung screen protector..right?
Good thinking, I'll give it a go. I don't like the plastic film covers that you can buy but I'd rather have one of them than nothing at all. I'll keep this glass one on til I can find something better

I read on one of the android websites, can't remember exactly now. But they tested a few and the only one that works is a Whitestone Dome Glass. It's like $70 aud. Expensive.
Whitdom glass, I ve installed it yesterday, fingerprint works really great but I just need to Apply a bit more pressure then before, but it's a great screen protector you can't even notice it's there it does not mess up with the beauty of your screen colours and it's super high touch responsive, I like it

I confirm, I bought a tempered glass sold with glue and UV lamp on Aliexpress for less than 3 euros and it worked. As mentioned, it is necessary to press a little on the scanner area before complete drying with the UV lamp. I have no problem to unlock the phone Avoid spending your money for the Whitdom solution, there are cheaper altenatives that work just as well
Here are the steps I followed to place the screen protector: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiSUzh47_50

does anyone know one from aliexpress that comes with more than the basics ... like whitestone has the lining guard so its easy to line up the glass and also i believe stickers to cover the earpiece so glue doesnt get in
I installed the Whitestone on my S10+ the other day. It was a simple process to install, no issues. Followed the video they have on their site. I cured it once, pressed the fingerprint portion of the screen down and cured it again twice. I tried to register my fingerprint immediately after, and it didn't work. I promptly sent an email. I found I had to press rather hard to get the fingerprint registered. I turned up the touch sensitivity, and I've had no issues with the fingerprint sensor thus far. It works almost 100% as accurate when I had no screen protector installed. I consciously press a bit harder when scanning my fingerprint, but other than that no issues. I also registered my thumb three times in 3 different positions. This may have helped, or it might not do anything.

I bought an AmFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector from Amazon. It costs like $40 and you get 2 (I guess in case you mess one up applying it). I haven't put it on yet because I have a hybrid screen protector on my S10+ from Zagg that's supposed to be glass and plastic or some kind of film with a lifetime warranty.

good day sir, do you have a video link on how to install this glass? thanks in advance.
Ive tried WSD and some cheap versions online and tried the cure all / cure top then press hard n cure bottom and although i get some success its hit n miss....
I will wait to see what new products come out but for now the best ive found is the otao dry applied TPU
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.
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.

Thank god we finally have a flat screen Android flagship device! This means that searching for the perfect screen protector is easy, right? Right?!
Nope. Tried 2 already:
Nillkin H+Pro, 0,2mm temperes glass. Thin enough to work with the fingerprint sensor but covers only the display portion, none of the bezels. Because of this, it gets the rainbow effect on the sides.
Spigen ez fit rtc. Tempered glass. Pretty good coverage (could be better) but the thickness interferes with the fp sensor, it works very slow with this one.
So...where to buy "the one to rule them all". Full coverage, edge to edge (maybe with black borders) and sufficient compatibility with the fp sensor. Share your experiences!
I use https://www.caseologycases.com/products/galaxy-s22-screen-protector-snap-fit and registered the FP after applying the glass. I am satisfied. 9 off 10 attempts work.

I'm 90% sure that this is the same as the Spigen one. Fp works but is slower. It is cheaper though!
I tried to get a tempered glass installed, but the Samsung store person informed me that the ultrasonic fingerprint reader is a hit and miss so I went with a GadgetShieldz scratch guard as of now. But I'm keen on understanding others' experiences on tempered glass.
I personally don't like tempered glass ones, I'm more concerned about scratches than it falling. So I went with Samsung's own screen protector, got it at my local store and asked them to put it on there.
I prefer matte screen protectors hence I got this one: https://a.aliexpress.com/_vBWviH
I like it very much, it's practically edge to edge, I'd say about .5mm gap.
My experience with glass screen protectors is that, unless they're bonded with a light cured adhesive, the fingerprint scanner stops working reliably after a few hours. Re-registering the fingerprints or increasing touch sensitivity in settings does not significantly improve the situation. Outside of the fingerprint sensor issue, this generation of tempered glass screen protectors, most of which use a snap-on frame to guide their installment, work very well and seem to be case friendly.
For me, these are the best:
- Screen protector: https://www.spigen.com/collections/...otector-neo-flex-solid?variant=40414744346671

The most important would be is your mid/long term experience with it.
Simply indicating what did you choose in the end is pointless in my opinion.
I hate GeekSquad but, they do at least one thing right: they install good screen protector. Just go to BestBuy and ask for a custom screen protector. They will install a ClearPlex protector with a special machine and it has a lifetime warranty. Cost: 30$ CAD. No problem with fingerprint sensor... Plus: if you ever find scratches, you can use a heatgun to repair it. The plastic will "self-repair".

I use the same phone cover that can self-heal the scratches and it really works, the scratches disappear within a few minutes. I got it from Gadgetshieldz for just $12 and it is giving good protection also fingerprint works fine! This S22 screen protector is better than the Samsung protectors.
I used the Whitestone and two cracked in 2 weeks.

I have Spigen's EZ-fit tempered glass on my S22 and can't really say I like it. The fingerprint reading is very hit-and-miss. And this even after I deleted fingerprints made before installing the protector and new ones recorded after. Using it from the AOD screen nearly never works. Once active it seems to be less problematic than for AOD, but not well enough to be called "good".

And this even after I deleted fingerprints made before installing the protector and new ones recorded after. Using it from the AOD screen nearly never works. Once active it seems to be less problematic than for AOD, but not well enough to be called "good".

Dinamo mentioned a different product. It is not tempered glass but a very soft TPU with sprayed adhesive. Hopefully it works fine cause I just ordered it. I think Samsung screen protectors in Galaxy s10 time was exactly the same.
Hello, I have tried to put 2 different screen protectors on my phone and with both of them I have a problem of not sticking on the edges!! any of you have the same problem? one of them is the Spigen's EZ-fit!!! Thanks
From experience of using front screen glass protectors for the fold 3, which would you recommend for the fold 4?
Yes won't purchase from whitestone due to bad support they gave when trying to get support on screen protector and how rude they were. Even though I used to recommend them a lot before. But when needed. They failed. But that was my experience. Should be decent but haven't used them for more than a year since it happened. With the note 20 ultra release.
Spigen looks decent but haven't used their screen protectors as used AMfilm. But they don't seem to have for the fold. So still seeing on what to use. As well.
But seeing both would be about same warranty just depends on who handles it better.
The Spigen comes with guide to install it but whitestone comes with 2 at a cheaper price.
The good thing of these is not as the note series that they are $30 to $45 per pack.
The Spigen is so easy to install, plus I don't see the point of installing or replace the inner screen protector. We can get Samsung to do it for free? or cheaply after a year.
I went with the non liquid adhesive whitestone simply because i have it on my fold 3 and it works well. Plus the kit came with a film hinge protector as well.
this one. it involve soap water while applying. i dont know if we can apply the inside protector over and bove the stock one on inside screen

Installed the Whitestone last night with no issues. This one is not as easy as the Spigen since there is no lineup template but I like that I received 2 front screen protectors, a camera protector and an edge guard.
can we apply screen procetor above the factory one inside? last year the inside screen protector oleophobic coating got weared off and it was so hard to scroll. this time thinking of applying another one, so that i can change it every 5months or so
I applied the Spigen EZFit on my Fold4 today, came out perfect. They make a great product, been buying their stuff for years.
Recieved my fold 4 today
Immediately i put on spigen glass Tr
The front tempered glass is good
And doesn’t interfere with the case lips
But the hinge protector is not working as advertised.
The hinge protector from spigen is very thin already but after installing it, everytime i open or close the screen it will get caught up and peeled off on edges
Maybe the gap between the hinge and the screen is slimmer this time
So I don’t think we can put any protector on the hinge without interfering with the mechanism.
On my old flip 1 it was ok
I tried the Whitestone and it is smaller than the front screen?!?!?!? I should send it back!

You kinda want a smaller screen protector because the case will take up the rest of the screen

Yeah they all are, so cases don't lift it. I've put a Samsung one on now, not glass one.

Yeah had the exact same thing, took it off, ordered full body skin instead
I also got the whitestone. I must say it perfectly covers the actual LCD part with about 2mm extra glass borders. The camera lense cutout is quite perfect as well, with the face unlock light ring lining up perfectly. I would certainly have preferred the glass to be taller and wider, but that's to prevent case interference as we know. Sometimes later in the cycle certain companies release their "edge to edge" screen protects, would want to see if any of them come up.
The included camera cover also fits quite perfectly, no have issues with the official Samsung case cutout.
The included hinge protector film I didn't try, not sure if it would mess with the mechanism to keep dust/grime out.
Overall for the price, I think it's pretty good.
Waiting for my Whitestone EZ glass screen protector to arrive. In the meantime, I already have a fairly deep scratch in the front glass. Ive babied this phone and have zero clue where it came from.
