I recently purchased and installed a case-friendly screen protector which doesn't cover the edges and although it seems to be protective, the touch sensitivity has become terrible. I enabled the setting to increase the sensitivity but it didn't seem to make much of a difference as it is still sluggish and not as responsive as it should be.
I have not had to deal with that on my S8 using a screen protector from the same brand (a Chinese one, I forget what it's called) but this is really ruining my experience with the device. I am planning on removing it as soon as I find a decent replacement.
I recently got back to Liverpool and am trying to find a store that can install it for me because I am really bad with these things, I'll just never be able to install a protector properly unless I waste three or four of them in trials. This has been the case ever since my first iPhone 2G and I just gave up on trying to install them myself altogether. Do you guys know where I can get it done in the UK? I contacted carphonewarehouse but they don't seem to offer installation services anymore.
Find an independant phone accessory / repair shop - chances are they will fit your screen protector for you for a minimal cost. I know there are a couple in Oxford that offer this service, so I would imagine Liverpool would have significantly more options.

Just got my SX66 2 days back, so I was thinking of using a screen protector. Need a little direction.
Firstly is it a good idea to use screen protectors or is the BA screen tough enough to take the beating?
Though I'd still prefer one
For right now I put on the HP screen protector on the BA, but they really bother me since they get scratched easy, its hard to not get bubbles n they reduce the contrast and brightness on the screen.
Are there any good protectors out there like scratch proof, washable easy to install without air bubbles, dont reduce the brightness help with the glare issue? Where can I get them?
Also where can I get one of those headphone adapters with the mic and answer button built in.
P.S anyone knows where I can get BA accesseries in Ottawa, ON or maybe an online store from Canada at good prices (besides EXPANSYS). Had to pay like $125 in duties on the phone plus I really hate to wait.
Regards

Hey guys, please vote here - who use screen protector with own TP2
And those who use, please describe here who is the manufacturer of your screen protector and your experience, how good is it for you.
Most recent HTC devices have come with pretty good screen protectors included in the box. I didn't use a screen protector on my first device, and I'm not making that mistake again.
anyone knows why they don't install it from the factory?
I voted and i own an x1. I use.
I've seen threads like this before and I've always wondered why there is even a debate on this topic. Why would anyone not use a screen protector?
My theory: The next person you see using a touch screen device with no screen protector, probably doesn't use one because he messed it up when applying it on the device.

well the picture quality without it is much better, isn't it? I have now 3M protector on my HTC herald, and it doesn't look as clean as without it.
You should use the Crystal Clear type. You sometimes don't even noticed that it's being installed.

That's true, but when you use your device for some months without any protector, it will never be so clear as with a screenprotector (that you can replace when needed )

Based on what I read in the accessories forum, I decided to try a Martin Fields one. Had it on for 2 days now - so far, so good. The one that came with the phone kept peeling off at the bottom edge near the buttons.
I didn't bother with my Vario III, as the ones I tried seriously affected the screen responsivness. Of course it got a key scratch in the first 3 months:-(
On my TP2 I installed the supplied one, and will get a Martin Fields one.
However I've got to return the unit (dodgy radio), so it is vital not to scratch it before returning it!
I messed upp my original screen protector
So i bought the Copter screenprotector from Skalshop.se it's a bit rubbery, but other than that it works good. It came with some liquid spray for aplying the protection. A bit tricky to apply but worked good in the end.
Martin Fields - where from you guys are buying them? I don't see them at ebay for TP2
also - are they really the BEST? or they just have the highest price?
The store from which I bought my TP2 gave me another screen protector - I haven't used the one that came with the device. Probably cost them less than US$1-2 to buy in bulk - I never pay more than US$8 for one retail
Using the one supplied with the evice and it works perfetly (I was against screen protetors when I had a Hermes, but with TP I can barely see it)
I once had a device and when I applied the screen protector I hated it. It improved sunlight visibility by refracting the light, unfortunately this made it harder to read fine print on the screen. I also couldn't remove the protector and was stuck with it. Another one I had tried before that one which was removable, reduced sensitivity too much.
Those are reasons not use one. But as long as the available protectors can be removed in case you don't like them, then it's worth trying them out. That way you don't risk your screen unecessarily.

That's right! I use it and it's better than the one that HTC gives us: I have a new one because it was removed while in my pocket.. But now I'm happier!
I´m using touchscreen phones for many years (since my first PALM ) and i´ve noticed that the new screens are much more resistent. I think that you loose quality if you use a screen protector.
Just don´t put your phone in the same pocket that coins, keys,... and use it´s cover when putting it in a bag.
one other advantage with a phone like this should you choose not to use a screen protector is that since the phone has such a large screen and it's so touch optimized you won't get as much wear and tear on the common points of contact (like the "e" on the onscreen keyboard).
I use Proporta Screen Protectors. After I had used then in my Asus P535 I do not want another brand. They protect very well the screen, they were washable and also doesn't change too much the sensation of the touch with the pen or even with fingers.
I dont use one for a few reasons. I dont put my TP2 in any pocket with coins etc. I am pretty careful with it.
Although most importantly im insured on it, accidental damage w/ no excess to when the time comes it gets a bit dodgy ill smash it up and get a new one. If ive still got the TP2 when my contract runs out/upgrade ill probably wap a screen protector on then.
I'm looking to fix a cracked screen on an N9005. I don't really want to go down the route of trying to take off the top layer of glass as I've heard the success rate for that is really low so I'm looking at picking up a whole new assembly, digitiser, lcd, the lot.
Obviously I've tried scouring a certain well known auction site and I'm keeping in eye on a couple of phones that I might be able to use to remove a working screen but I wondering if there was a certain site that people used? Ideally in the UK but if not then I'll happily wait for a shipment from China.
Cheers!

try dbxstore, n9005 lcd assembly, free shipping, free tools, hope this help you
Ive been through all this pain a couple of months back, and been scourging the whole internet space for a decent, trustworthy, and safe replacement part.
Then I finally made the plunge with an ebay seller from UK.

The housing is genuine, and you have all things ready for replacement in case you have a cracked screen and damaged digitizer - like me.
I had really no big pain doing the replacement - pulling out all the components from the old motherboard, and replacing it onto the new, shipped one.
One note here, which I realized later on, if for some reasons you wanted to change the color of your note3, like I would not have minded going black from white, you can purchase it of the color of your choice, and later on buy a cheap battery cover to complete the transformation. Since I realized this only after purchasing my housing, and I really dont mind my white note3, I was okay. Just to act as a whitleblower, in case...
And for the story, my camera now has bits of glass cracked inside. I am still trying to find a suitable replacement rear camera module... I still have no reply on my post here, and still on the hunt for a decent, genuine one.
Good luck to you.

i used a bodyguardz pure tempered glass on my S6 and it was pretty awesome...
i got the same brand and model for my new S7 and i noticed the very edges of the screen protector dont seal down all the way (probably because slightly more curve on the screen for S7?)
but my biggest issue is it appears to be messing with the touch sensitivity.. i find myself have to touch more than once or press harder to get it to register my finger touch..
anyone else experiencing similar?
Yea I experienced this with xtremeguard's Spartan glass.
Tried a few unbranded protectors and have the same problem.
Apparently the S7 is the first time Samsung made their own touchscreen digitizer, and hopefully this is the last time too.
No screen sentivitity issues here
I have taken a look at this tempered glass screen protector and can personally say that there are no sensitivity issues with it. When using the, Galaxy s7 remained as responsive as ever. It's pretty durable as well which really surprised me. I have tried a few brands for screen protectors to see which I like best and the Coral brand comes in high for me. If your looking for full screen coverage but don't want to impact your phone, then you may want to give it a try. You can checkout their website. Coralguard.
I've read that many people are having issues with the Samsung panel and hoping that it's not hardware related and can be fixed with some sort of software update. The only problem there is that carriers take so long to distribute.
Good luck.

Dude i really hope this isn't an actual thing, please call samsung and see if they can do anything about it.
Cuz we got a few devices as a family and my sister was complaining about her screen as well. She said its better now though and she's coming from APPLE so i thought it was just that apple to samsung touch response difference which made her thing it was not working properly.
Hey there, I hope this is the right place to post this, and if not, I apologize.
The glass in one corner of my S7 Plus tablet is cracked and I am looking to get it fixed, depending on cost. The touchscreen still seems to be unaffected by the broken glass, so I did not think I would need to replace the LCD screen, just the glass.
I contacted a local phone repair place near me to see if I bought a glass panel from Amazon and brought it to them with my tablet if they could do the replacement. They said that it would need to be the glass and LCD screen because they are fused together. The cost of the repair work would be around $130. That did not seem too high to me, but I have never been in this position before, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have looked online for the cost to get the glass and LCD from Samsung (genuine part would keep the warranty intact from what I have read) and I am only finding pricing for Samsung Australia. That price was around $325 (if I did the conversion right), so I would be looking at over $450 (not counting shipping for the glass and LCD) at minimum.
I am not comfortable trying to replace the glass and LCD myself, so I know my options may be limited. My concern is that for $450 I could instead buy another nice Android tablet (or a Windows one that I can install Linux onto, which I kind of want to do anyways). Is anyone aware of any other replacement options I might be able to try or are worth investigating? This was the one time I did not get the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this damage...
Any advice, help, or ideas are greatly appreciated!

You want a OEM part not a CCP knockoff; the display quality may be inferior or have interface issues.
If it's an LCD display a used OEM one should work fine. Those can likely be found for cheap.
Or simply use as is.
Watch a tear down vid. I'm don't think they're fused. Most are not... although I maybe mistaken.

So that was my first thought, but the repair shop said they were fused and when I searched YouTube for repair videos a couple mentioned needed to heat the glass (broken one not the new one) to remove it and then gently remove residue or something. I am not confident in being able to do the repair myself (hands shake too much and really bad carpal tunnel) and am worried I would break it in the process.

Do some more research. If the are available used on ebay, it's not that hard!
Probably a heat gun properly used will do the job fine.
Lots of repair shops around and online; find a less greedy one. Or a knowledgeable tech at church etc willing to help.
Do Not get isopropyl or any solvents near the liquid crystal display!!!
It will poison it. The sides of the panel are not sealed.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some more research and see what I can find. Hopefully, I can figure out something that doesn't cost as much, but will still work well. I am still kicking myself for not putting it in a protective case and getting the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this.

I don't think it will be as bad as you think if you get the right person to repair it.
Just be careful with it for now. Make sure all your critical data is redundantly backed up.
I case everything... it's the only reason my devices weren't destroyed long ago.
