The reason I ask this is because tap tap doesnt seem to work very well for me,
Its usually when im holding down on the one spot and i try to tap other ones at the same time.
It just doesnt recognise that im tapping the screen.
Is this a problem for anyone else?
Also is it down to how the phone screen works, or the app?
Just wondered as i loved tap tap on my ipod touch but its no where near as useable on my phone.

It's MEH!
Plastic and it's not OLED/AMOLED. Toooooo dim.
Only time I get wow'd at the screen is when it's dark xD

It's a 4" 854x480 transflective tft-lcd panel covered with fortified mineral glass which has a shatter protective lamanant screen cover that's factory fitted. The lamanant covering is prone to scratching, and is whatever the oposite of oleophobic is (it loves oil from your skin). There have been some who reported that after removing the covering to expose bare the mineral glass, the brightness and responsiveness are better. I've also noticed in my own testing that this panel is capable of registering only 4 points of multi touch contact, but that could just be in the driver.

The screen is **** with the ff sheet.
Most of us on here removed it and it's very resilient.
Also looks a heap better.

if you removed the anti-shatter film will it leave any marks or adhesive? Im not so sure of this film
I regret the day Ive put it, shouldve waited for screen protectors..
the film is a fingerprint party right now, i wipe it often.. its also annoying outdoors, the reflection is getting in the way..

Are you saying you've put the spare on top of the factory fitted one?
I regret I ever removed the original screen protector. Yeah, the screen does get marginally brighter but not very much, and it gets more sensitive. But the downside is it gets speckled a lot. The original screen protector is very resistant to speckles and that alone far outweighs the somewhat brighter screen.
I was never happy with the screen when I had peeled of the original protector not even after a month.
Hence I bought some new original protectors and put it on as late as today. God I love the screen now again. It doesn't get speckled all of the time with fingerprints that shows on brighter backgrounds. I will never take it off again. The difference is HUGE when it comes to speckles.
Speckles??

I had my beloved GN2 charging on my night stand, and went to open the roll-up shade on the window near my bed, which is also right over the night stand. Mr. Murphy sensed an opportune moment and the end of the shade somehow escaped my grasp. The shade rolled up in the blink of an eye and lept from its mounts. If you are not familiar with these shades, there is a tube that has a small, rectangular metal bar sticking out of the end. Since Murphy was guiding events, that end plummeted down and landed directly on the up-facing screen of my Note. I stood for a minute, not believing what had just happened, knowing for certain that my phone now had a spider's web instead of a smooth glass screen...perhaps even a hole right through the glass.
I picked it up to inspect the damage, and winced as I noticed a wicked looking gouge and a chunk of screen missing. Knowing that fractures are hard to see straight on, I tilted the phone, and did not see the expected spider web. Further inspection revealed that my cheap $5 Fosmon Screen Shield had absorbed all of the blow, and a chunk of the plastic had even been ripped out. I peeled it back, expecting that there must be at least a few small cracks. Once it was off, I cleaned the screen to reveal shiny Gorilla Glass perfection. No damage! I know the debate rages on as to the need for screen protectors. In my mind, the jury is in and the verdict is unanimous....use them!

The Fosmon protectors I have been using are cheap and fit poorly, but in this instance, they did the job for which they were intended.

I got a pack of fosman protectors when I ordered one of their cases....this is really making me consider putting it on
Screen protectors are meant to prevent scratches... you avoided a scratch, but the greater danger here was glass shattering... which probably has very little to do with the screen protector and more to do with the gorilla glass itself. But yes, you did avoid a gouge/scratch, but I wouldn't say you avoided a shattered screen...
In my case, I use a case with a lip that'll raise my screen off any surface if i place the phone face down which is the only reason i'd get a screen protector.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. In my mind, the screen would have been shattered without the protector. The force of the impact was enough to dent the plastic badly and tore a 1 inch chunk right out of it.Yes, gorilla glass is tough stuff, but we are seeing lots of reports of relatively minor drops completely shattering it. This was not a minor impact, yet the phone is undamaged, while the protector was destroyed. Draw your own conclusions, and please show the courtesy of allowing me to draw my own.
I think he is saying that the screen protectors protect the screen from scratches and wouldnt protect the screen from shattering. I dunno tho, in my experience, if my phone hit something hard enough to break the glass the glass would break. And im an advocate for screen protectors...
Hey guys, my lg g2 screen was cracked so I got a replacement screen, both digitizer and lcd. Everything went smoothly and I have everything working but a small this bothers me. The screen is not flush with the frame it pops out a bit maybe the double sided tape I used inside to hold the screen down wasn't good enough. Do you guys have any ideas as to what I can do? I was thinking of applying a little bit of silicone and let it set. Any help will be much appreciated. I am attaching the photos of it as well to get a better idea.

I used a glue from Home Depot, the type you mix. I got the clear kind. There are many types but look and see the pressure resistance and if it works on plastics before you buy. Mine was also water proof. I believe it was a type of Gorilla glue, it worked wonders unlike the tape. Jus make sure you get the correct type, even Gorilla has different types. You also have to maintain pressure till it dries by the way or your screen will stick out.

If we use this method, how easy would it be to replace the screen again if need be?
I'm just wondering if the glue would work TOO well.

Use a type of glue which melts with the heat, like the original.

The people that repaired my screen did a bad job, thats why I added the glue, the new screen had rainbow lines issues but they manged to get it off with a little force and replace it again. This is because I did not go overboard and add too much, so you should be fine if u need to break off or replace the LCD.
I used Gorilla Epoxy (3300Psi and sets in 5 mins), just make sure to use very little amounts or it might get in between the LCD layers, basically just don't be overzealous and you will be fine.
I was wondering how screen protectors fit on the screen. All the screen protectors I look at mention that the screen has rounded edges. Does the screen round down right at the edge or is there a little space to add a screen protector properly?
I was wondering if it's like the iPhone. I know when I try to add a screen protector to an iPhone 6 there is no wiggle room because of the way the glassrounds off right at the edge of the "screen panel"

If you buy a good one, the screen protector ends at almost exactly where the glass curves away. I'm using Spigen's and they fit pretty nicely.

Does the glass curve away right at the end of the viewing panel/LCD screen or is there some space between the edge of the viewing panel and the curve.
It's hard to tell from the pictures and there are no stores close to me that have the HTC 10 on display so I can't even go look at one in person.

Here is a link to a thread over in accessories about the tempered glass screen protectors. A few people have gotten them but most, if not all, report halo.

Not sure if you can see them clearly tho. In the 3rd photo you can see where the screen protector ends. And that's almost where the glass starts to curve out.

I feel like white is more forgiving
Thanks for the pictures. I hat how companies are rounding the screens like that. Then the screen protectors can't cover the whole glass front.
I gave up on a tempered glass one for now and not a fan of PET, went with the Unicorn Beetle case which has a built on one and its decent. atleast the whole screen is protected. I don't use the fingerprint so I wish the hole for that wasn't there to prevent and dust from getting in there but o well. Its pretty tight against the screen. but its the plastic type which always wears out fast in my experience but its great for now.
Hello everyone,
I just got my S9 a few days back and i noticed a dotted pattern all over the display. Is this normal? Does it have to do with the screen technology? Also i see this ...rainbow effect under the screen protector, it moves if i press it. It is only visible under a bright neon light (the only one I have in the house) so it's not disturbing, but i'm just curious if it is indeed the screen protector's "fault". The dots are visible with the screen on if it is exposed to a strong light (sunlight, the same neon).

Is it a screen issue or is it normal?

I have the dot pattern too, not that much as you, but I can see it. I believe it is the touch layer of the screen.
I had it on old phone too. Were you able to see it without the screen protector?
Not sure about the rainbow effect it looks like some refraction issue under the protector. It could be the case.
If it was not an expensive one, I would buy a tempered glass and replace it.
The screen protector is tempered glass, from Eiger.
I've not seen anything like that on mine. Are you sure it's not on the back of the screen protector?
After doing a bit of research, I found out that tempered glass screen protectors have this "dot matrix" pattern. Those little dots are actually where the screen protector makes contact with the screen itself for better touch sensitivity. Indeed, I have the touch sensitivity option turned OFF and the screen responds with the lightest touch even though the protector is made of thick glass.
Can anyone confirm if this is true?

The rainbow effect is called Newton's Rings and is caused by the differing refractions of the interior sides of any 2 glass surfaces placed together. The rings move because of the flexibility of the screen protector and that changes the angles of refraction. Some glass made for photographic purposes has one side made slightly less smooth than normal glass so the opposing surfaces can't reflect off of each other and create competing refractions which cause the rainbow pattern.
You can find out more about this, if you are interested, as Wikipedia has a decent article on the topic.
Don't know if any glass screen protectors are made to minimize this.
Edit: corrected auto correct error.
I am a one plus 5t user [I know I know I am at other universe, still like to give my 2 cents ], faces same issue after instilling a screen protector [glass one] from local shop.
First I was worried that the protector was applied to harsh that it may be pressing the screen & resulting in the rainbow effect. It was also having dotted pattern. Screen protector was a cheap one so just for my piece of mind I went ahead & removed it & there you have it, the culprit was the protector. Now installed another glass protector which does not have any dots or rainbow effect.
Notice the line around the edge of the screen? Is that dead pixels or something else?
It goes from the bottom of the left side, loops up across the top of the screen and down the right side.
At first I thought it was just the edge of the screen protector but it's clearly not.
I'm going to take the phone in to have it looked at as it will only charge to 98% but I'd like to know what this is before I take it in.

Does your screen protector use liquid as adhesive? That would be my guess from looking at it. Especially since the edges are showing colors.

My glass protector did this too. Just light refraction/where the adhesives were placed on the protector. super annoying, ended up taking mine off
If it's light refracting from the glue why would it have only started doing it in the last week or two when the protector has been on there since September?

Try cleaning the edges with an alcohol wipe? It looks like it's on the glass and not the LCD.

It's definitely not on the glass.
It could be the adhesive from the screen protector as it was put on in store the day I bought the handset so I have never seen it without a screen protector on it. It's not a liquid adhesive like the whitestone. I've never noticed this line until about 2 weeks ago.

Yeah on second look, it does appear to be under the protector.

I tried lifting the corner of the screen protector to see if it's adhesive and the line is still on the screen so I'm convinced that has nothing to do with it.
Lol just take the screen protector off and see what it is before you take it back
I have good news... It's not dead pixels.
I removed the screen protector and the line was still there. However, after I cleaned the screen with glasses cleaner the line has gone.
It seems the line was a collection of lint/dust that was right at the edge of where the adhesive sits.
If only solving the 98% battery issue was that easy...
