I've noticed on my S10+ that along the sides of the display, the oleophobic coating isn't coated along the edges leaving these waves of duller black.
Anyone else?
I remember posts about these on S9 or S8 so it's not exactly new issue on Samsung's, but just wondering how common it is..

On my previous Sony phone, i sent the screen for replacement because the oleophobic coating was completely inhomogeneous from edge to center and i could see darker/lighter bands and spots.
The replacement screen was not perfect but usable (embarassing screen factory production chain...).
As soon as in remove the film i ll give a look.
Mine doesn't look like that, it's all uniform..
Mine has wiped of the parts of the display where I am scrolling...first time ever on a Samsung phone that this happens. Had s8 s7 s6 s4...never happened
Interesting. I never had a phone not losing its coating . There is one point in time, usually when a year old, when the screen looks all scratched and banged up, but sooner or later it all evens out. Kinda used to it.
Ive never had a Samsung loose its coating. Including my S5. Only ever had an issue with a cheap Polaroid tablet and very slightly on my lg gpad 7.

I said in another matte thread I bought this a few days ago and will post what i thought of it. I used it for about a day and here's my review!
short version: don't bother. It doesn't fit right, had to trim it. major rainbow noise on bright screen.
long version:
I tried to fit the screen for around 20 minutes, couldn't get it right, best i could do is this:

I am going to have to trim it with scissors.
When the screen is off, it looks REALLY nice. but the rainbow noise is pretty bad, i tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't really show how bad it is.
Now I know for a fact that not all matte screens are like this, because i have a matte screen on my HP touchpad and it is NOWHERE near as bad, you can only see rainbow effect if you look closely.
in case you need to know where i bought it, so that you don't.

personally i will still keep it, because playing games with this surface is still way better than without. And when i play games, i don't notice the rainbow problem. But i keep an eye out for a better matte screen.
haven't others posted on this forum about not buying this type of protector for AMOLED screens because of exactly what you're saying...?

Whilst wandering around today, not really in search for accessories for my phone, but after cutting a iPad screen protector and it looking rather ugly, I happened to come across this pack in a Vodafone retail store.
It was $19.95, and they only recieved it today. It includes 2 screen protectors, 1 clear hard care, and a grey silicon case.

The clear case is good, doesn't add much to the overall phone, whilst leaving all the keys available, the silicon case is a good fit, but makes the power button rather stiff when you are trying to press it. The screen protectors I'm going to apply tomorrow, when I'm not so drained.
Definitely worth the $19.95, considering its the only pack I've been able to find!
Hi can I know where suburb did you purchase this? Do you think this is available in victoria too?
Temptation got the better of me, and I've just applied the screen protector, screwed up the first one without thinking correctly ... :-/ .. but I've applied the other one, just waiting to see how it goes.
It was purchased in Western Australia, won't say which store because I know some of the staff are on this forum, and I'm the first person to buy one from them, don't want them possibly getting swarmed by nexus adopters ;-).
It should be available in Victoria, but you might have to ask for it as they might hold the stock back for their launch, but who knows.
Got it! How is the screen protector that comes with it? is it clear/ultra clear? do you notice any haze or rainbow like pixels on it when installed?
Screen protector is excellent, only thing I think is that it might be about a millimeter small, but nothing too bad.

Understood, it's unique, but I've ordered about 7 different cases to try each one.
I have a yellow version of this coming from China, which I really enjoyed on my Note and workmates like them on their iphone, makes them have a golden shimmer.
Originally I had bought this from Diztronic for the Motorola Atrix 4G at the time for $10. Then found similar for the Note around $2. Now there are some for the S3 as well at that price from China. USA vendor was $4 shipping was quick
i had this design for mine galaxy s , after some time the clear casing will turn yellowish

Yes, the acid and oils on our hands and fingers tend to do this with most, expecially noticeable on clear and light color cases (white)..
That's why I prefer my yellow one, it's already yellowish..
Funny thing, I took it off before putting the phone to charge on my pillow. I guess I knocked it off and it fell between the bed.. Now I have scuffs on the back of my phone.. Sigh..:crying:
Does it actually have a diamond shaped texture in the interior? or Is it just a pattern?

Is there a way for me to make my white sgs3 black? I can get a battery cover, but I want the front black as well.
The cosmetic designer for the sgs3 must have had some strange ideas, the actual black version wasn't even black, more of a scratched dark grey, and there is no way that I'm buying a custom front glass, not with the hair-dryer procedure.
If there isn't a way, I'll be fine, but I really want a black one without using decals.:fingers-crossed:
Just get a case that covers it up... It's a lot less work. Amazon has them cheap. Better protection, looks like you want, win-win.

I want to have the glass on either side of the screen unobstructed, and I want the cosmetic appearance of a phone that isn't covered, What I want is some sort of shaded screen protector, one with the bezel area black and the screen completely clear

What about this?

Or would it be one of those things that would tear after a week?

That would work for the front. As for durability, that depends on the quality of the material they use.
and would it blend in with the screen? I'm going for the effect on the last few nexus phones, not the effect on the s4.
Hi guys, i have my htc m8 for about 18 months, i noticed today that the screen is not flushed anymore to the body.
i saw some threads talking about it like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/screen-separation-t2886447
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/screen-coming-off-bent-t2989437
right now is not like the pictures on these threads, is almost unnoticeable, i noticed because i really looked for the device and noticed that if i push the screen it goes back to original position.
does anyone have this problem too? i think that the problem is the battery that is already increasing the size, or maybe is just the glue of screen that worn off.
i was expecting to wait for the M10 and S7 but i'm afraid this problem will affect the resale value and will probably get rid of this device sooner.
I do not have any problems at all. I have had at the phone for about more than a year now, and I must say it barely has a scratch. I'm using a very good case and a tempered glass screen protector and barely drop the phone.
i took pictures of this problem today. i think is getting worse.

The sides of the display also pop out 1-2 mm out of my phone. It used to make a cracking noise when I pushed it back. It started about 6 months ago. It didn't get any worse, in fact, now the noise is gone and I barely notice it any more, even when looking from the side.
I have the cracking noise only...

I don't know if is just the glue that worn off or is the battery fattening that is pushing the screen. i hope is just the glue.
but don't matter how hard i push the screen it goes back to the same position, i don't know how would i glue it back since it will not stay glued to the body. unless i use glue inside and put the device below some heavy books, and get a few days later.
