I Removed my Whitestone Dome Glass - Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories

So I finally got fed up and pulled my dome glass protector off and put a TPU protector on it. What a difference it makes with the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader works 10x better now and always unlocks on the first try.

Old story and Is a known fact.

Are you going to request warranty? Just curious, because they rant about 100% working fingerprint scanners with their screen protectors and many people prove it is NOT true

No, not at this point. I just took the loss and will never buy from them again.

OnePlus 7 Pro Tempered Glass

Should I be applying tempered glass on my OnePlus 7 Pro?
And will it be blocking my fingerprint sensor? I just am curious.
If you want to go the tempered glass route, it's best to keep an eye out for the full adhesive like whitestone over the ones that have the adhesives on the edge. The edge ones always had issues with detecting finger prints and in the case of the optical ones like the Pro 7, the scanner light reflects off the underside of the glass instead of my fingers due to the gap and completely throws off the reader. The full adhesive ones do not suffer from this issue.

I just bought a UV Glass off ebay for 4 bucks. Installed it and FingerPrint unlock works. Thats another option
I'm assuming since it's an optical fingerprint sensor that screen protectors won't cause many issues compared to Samsung's new fingerprint sensor.
I have tried 3 different brands of tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon so far but none has full glue, just around the edges. So annoying!

The quality is good imo, I bought an expensive one on Amazon for my girlfriends phone, I can't tell the difference. It was the same install process, glass feels the same. Works with all the cases I installed on it.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/6D-Curved-...var=522289128168&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
I am sure you can find one in the US with quicker shipping, but I think most UV glasses are the same.

I'm impressed with the built in screen protector

I am more impressed with the built in screen protector after one week. I've tried film screen protectors before and they showed marks from the s.Pen this one doesn't (yet). And the fingerprint works fine. I know it doesn't help much if you drop the phone but helps re scratches. I've always found that the glass screen protectors eventually attract dust on the sides. Im also using the included case for now which too is not bad.. What's your thoughts.

I thought it was excellent but mine had to marks underneath out of the box and I was worried that it was the actual display that was marked so I pulled it off and it was the actual screen protector that was marked,been a pain in the arse since getting a protector that is decent
Wish I never removed it :silly:
It would be nice if Samsung provided a service where a new screen protector can be reapplied when original one is worn out.
After a week mine is badly scratched.
Already looking at the options for a replacement, not too keen on tempered glass.

Its quite nice but mine is scratched all over and I'm not rough on the phone at all. I'll probably just leave it on, scratches and all. I am not wasting money on a Dome or some Tempered Glass solution that is cheaper that isn't going to fit or work well.
I had the S10+ Which also came with a screen protector but I honestly think Samsung did something to improve it - the one that came on my Note 10+ seems better than on the S10+ I had.
For what it's worth, I also don't want to spend the money on Glass - and don't want one where I have to put liquid on the screen to get it to work -I never had any luck with those - BUT, there are some very good plastic screen protectors that work exceptionally well, are easy to install and will make a good alternative if you need to replace the one that came with the phone.
The One I found that I like best is the Otao Screen Protector on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/OTAO-Protector-Coverage-Friendly-Anti-Bubble/dp/B07VHBNRJP/ref=sr_1_25?keywords=screen+protector+note+10+plus&qid=1567359663&s=gateway&sr=8-25
The Video they posted on amazon definitely helps you install it perfectly and it is very affordable - just over 7 bucks and you get two of them.
Looks good - works great - lasts a long time (It did on my S10+ and I am sure it will on my Note 10+ as well.
THere are others that are also good, but this is the one I found that I like the most. Good luck....

This is the downside of in-screen sensors. I personally like matter screen protectors which don't show marks, fingerprints and look clean. I don't want to buy one for it to not be compatible with the sensor. Any info if matte screen protectors might work?
the glass ones dont work well with fingerprint sensor. I wouldn't waste your money! I bought a 360 deg case and it doesnt work on that either.
Shame sammy doesnt sell the one that came on the phone. Mine protector has a scratch on it already though I was on hols last week and it could've been sand so its saved the screen!

Same, sand and s-view cover bad idea lol. Got fair few pits in the protection.
I do like the built-in screen protector but as other people have mentioned, mine already has scratches on it nothing deep or crazy but it works fine for now. I've pre-ordered a Whitestone Dome, though expensive, I have mastered the process to the point that I don't make a mess. I've been using them since my Note8 and have had no complaints. Hell, it's even protected my screen when I've dropped it face down. The Dome cracked but my screen underneath was intact. I am a bit concerned about the Fingerprint scanner since it's not the greatest at recognizing my fingerprint but ah well.
The tempered glass screen protectors DO NOT WORK !!!!I'm on my third one. The sensor does not pick up.....I may just rock it raw dawg!!
I'm typically not a screen protector sort of person, but it was a week before i even noticed that the note 10+ had one on it.. I'm so impressed i'm leaving it on.
Yeah, I'm staying too on this one untill I buy whitestone dome as always! Hope that it works on this phone too with spigen tough armour; s8, s9+, note 9 works withouth problems!

Nice! What would be even better, I think, if they had a service where it would be applied for you too. So, the same factory fit feel.
I've been very impressed with the factory protector as well. Hardly noticeable that it is there.
If they would sell this for cheap i would buy like 10. They get scratch easily but is so clear, finger glide and doesnt leave fingerprint. They only problem would be installation since this plastic screen protectors are a paint to get a perfect installation

Question Testing other curved glass protectors on the 6pro

I have already tried a OnePlus 8 pro protector, but that protector is just ever so slightly too tall and not wide enough. It is 6.78" after all...
Does anybody have any ideas on what I can try next, so we can find a solution to this screen protector situation... I like the look of curved, but I absolutely hate the hassle it causes with screen protectors.
Does anybody have any suggestions... I'm willing to buy and try until we find one that works.
WHY put a protector over Gorilla Glass Victus?
I gave up screen protectors!

Bailed out on protectors back in the Oneplus 7T days and rapidly realized I was wasting my time with a protector. Never used one and my 8T and zero scratches over the last year. Hope the tech only gets better, so I for one see no reason for it. But.. This is an opinion.

Exactly! I'm tempted with every phone to add a screen protector but Gorilla Glass Victus is also said to surpass Gorilla Glass 6 in terms of durability. Corning states that Victus is two times more scratch-resistant than Gorilla Glass 6 and up to four times scratch-resistant than competitors.

I REALLY AM LOOKING FOR A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR, I PREFER THEM. SO WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP INTERUPTING THE THREAD WITH YOUR PREFERENCES.
I have 2 on the way, Super sheildz glass and a basic tpu from amazin. Considering how scratched even the glass protectors get, and I do not kick my phones around, I want to be able to sell it mint and You cannot do that if it doesn't have a case and screen on it from day one.
I get top buck for my phones because of that. Your MMV but it's a cheap investment. IntelliGlass has been sold and that was my fave so no screens from them and I'll be damned if I'll pay 40$ for one from Spigen even if it's the best, ill wait till it's half off.
There will be more entries into the market but it's limited right now. I'll post back on how it goes.
There seems to be a problem with the fingerprint reader not working when a glass screen protector is fitted, the one i fitted to my Pro was absolutely rubbish and pinged off so i didnt get to see the problem but the Spigen on i put on my wifes 6 means her fingerprint scanner doesn't work correctly now.

This. I don't see any scratches on my 2 year old 4 XL. Screen protectors were a pain in the ass to apply in the old days when the screens were flat. But now, not only the screen is curved as fuᴄk, but there's also that on-screen fingerprint reader that is already not great. Over my dead body am I dealing with the nightmare that would be a screen protector on this thing.

I get it bro... Is using the finger print unlock important to you? Every glass protector I've seen (on Amazon) the title either says "doesn't support finger print reader" or the reviews say that. Since your phone already has glass screen (please don't tell at me for saying that ) would you consider one of those plastic screen protectors? That's what I'm thinking about getting. Yes I'm answering your question.
Also you spelled interrupting wrong. You forgot the second R.

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.

Accessories Screen protectors

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
- Case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/...s22-5g-case-liquid-air?variant=40498618499119

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.
They take a month to respond never buying again

For me, these are the best:
- Screen protector: https://www.spigen.com/collections/...otector-neo-flex-solid?variant=40414744346671
- Case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/...s22-5g-case-liquid-air?variant=40498618499119

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".

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
