I know it's hardware design. But I don't like rounded corners, notch in screen. I want to screen to be rectangular. (By 'turning off' 4-5 mm screen on top and bottom). How to do this.

So thought I'd share this as I think I have figured out the best way to stick one on without bubbles!
Before anyone states that a screen protector is pointless because there already is one on blah blah, I disagree because I just like the reassurance that if the screen gets scratched it doesn't matter. Plus that preapplied screen protector is very good and well applied (obviously) so its a waste just to use that as a protector alone.
On my older phones I have always ended up scraping the screen protector because the bubbles annoy me so much, and they're a pain to apply. But with the XS I tried and got it perfect, thought it was just luck, but did it again and achieved a good result again.
First turn of the phone for 10 minutes (apparently the heat can cause bubbles) Wash your hands, clean a desk area and take your top of (wear a tshirt)
then clean the screen, its obviously but really clean it (I use a wet wipe and then dry it off with a clean cotton top) if you have the special cloth use this too.
Get a lamp and shine it on the screen check for any streak marks and polish these away until the screen is perfect. Blow gentle to remove any dust particles small hairs etc. I have found in the past that bubbles often have a hair in the middle of them which prevents the protector from not properly sticking.
Now the tricky bit, pull at the '1' tab to remove the protector sheet, but do this with that side facing downwards (so that any dirt in the air wont land on the sticky side) and lower it towards the screen.
Align the corners with THE TOP of the phone next to the sony logo and curve the protector so that the top of the protector touches the screen (the area around the speaker grill and logo. Double check that everything is aligned so it will fit perfectly when you lay down the rest of it. Don't worry about any bubbles here as they can be squeezed out easily (due to the speaker grill).
Now grab a card of some sort, my driving licence seems to work best and place it where the top of the screen protector has been applied. With the right hand keep holding the protector at the edge of it, and with your left hand firmly press down the card and slide towards the bottom of the phone. (be firm at this point don't worry the screen will be fine it can take this pressure!)
Slide all the way down and look at your job. hopefully there should be only a few bubbles around the edge, if there are ones in the centre then carefully peel it up and try again. (don't touch the sticky side obviously and make sure you don't touch the screen.
The bubbles around the edges and around the speaker grill can be squeezed out using the card. Go over it a few times and then pull the protector sheet '2' tab off. And there ya go a nicely applied screen protector!
I tried to be as detailed as possible but may post pictures later if people require them.
a gap between the screen and the frame, is this usual?
on my ultra z --> the left side is tight between the screen and the frame but on the right side there is a gap (the long side) you can get down a fingernail in between..... a little annoying
I dropped my S7 the other day and I now have a small crack that goes from around the headphone jack and curves around to the left side of the screen to the edge about an inch up. There may even be a tiny nick down in the black section, I'm not certain. It's in a place where the crack doesn't bother me very much at all (especially since 1/2 of it is in the black section at the bottom off the screen), so I don't mind working with the crack, I just don't want things to get worse.
What's the best way to protect my phone from here on out to give me the best chance of things not getting worse?
I got a tempered glass screen protector (one with the top and bottom black part), but sensitivity is terrible. I have to push harder around the edges and I find swipe typing to be more difficult as well. Also, either I got a piece of dust under that's annoying or the top already got a nick. On the other hand, it seems as if this does provide some very good protection for the crack as as well as visually hiding much of it.
What about getting a dbrand skin for the front only? Since much of the crack is in the black section, the dbrand skin would cover that part. Is that of any help at all?
Any other suggestions?
Anyone have any thoughts on if I put a front dbrand skin, if that will both hide the crack in the black section of the phone and provide some support to prevent things from getting worse. With the skin and no screen protector though, then the part of the crack that's over the screen has nothing over it.
Place lackban
Could someone tell me if it is normal that I have some bright spots (about 1-2 mm thick line from left to right up to rounded corners situated above the camera). This line is most visible from angles when I touch this place by finger (the cause is probably natural grease) but when I clean it with microfiber cloth then the bright line dissapear.
Is it possible that oleophobic layer was incorrectly applicated ?
I have to say that M20P (with leather pouch) has 3 days and of course it has not any scratches absolutely.

Hi,
my mate20pro had a problem with oleofobic layer resulting in two areas (on the top and on the bottom) getting dirtier and hard to clean.
I barely hoped to get the screen replaced but instead they've given me a new phone.
Good luck with yours!
Samsung says the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s wrinkled screen isn’t a defect
Does your S23 Ultra’s screen have a bubble in the bottom corner?

If you look at the history of curved screens, almost every model has batches that develop green or pink vertical lines of pixels where the screen pinches the ribbon cable. My concern is that the wrinkle, which is essentially the screen folded into the curve, will eventually cause pressure or uneven wear.
Mine definitely does not have that

Since when is the cable located right there on the side? Also it's not just curved screens, it's OLED panels in general. OnePlus 9 has a flat screen and a ton of reports of it happening.
