Screen not responding well after putting on a protector - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I put on a Skinomi screen protector last night and have noticed the screen isn't as responsive as before. Haven't experienced this with other phones before, wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

I specifically didn't buy a Skinomi for this phone like I had for my previous phones because I read that people were having trouble not getting the liquid into the speakers. If you think about it, it makes sense, and I'm not going to take the chance I would have the same problem. I haven't read about that specific brand causing problems with the touchscreen, but I know cheap ones definitely can affect sensitivity.
Did any liquid get in the speakers during the application process? Does your phone have the slight gap in the side like several phones do? It's possible the liquid could have gotten in there and could be affecting the touchscreen.
Thus far I'm not having any issues with the touchscreen with my dry application iSmooth screen protector. *knock on wood*

I figured out my problem was an app I had loaded.
No problem with water as I waited 5 minutes before applying the application....
Thanks for your response as I learned from it.

is the screen easy to be scratched on the T Mobile TP2

hey guys
I am a little be amazed how fast the screen has gained very very fine hairline scratches, knowing that I barely used even. I owned a HTC touch HD before and the screen was like new even after lots of use. As I mentioned I just used it maybe for a week and I always keep it in the pouch that came with it. And then yesterday all of a sudden under the light I noticed hairline scratches on some parts of the screen where I usually use my finger. I am really surprised.
Did any of you get the same experience. What can i do to solve this now

This does not solve your current problem -- hairline scratches; sorry.
But to prevent future scratches a screen protector is highly recommended. Check out various threads on the Accessories sub-forum.
I put a screen protector on my TP2 after a week of ownership (not sure if it had hairline scratches at the time) -- even though the screen-protector I got (at the time) wasn't a perfect fit for my version of the TP2. I decided that it's better to protect the screen -- with a protector that can be replaced -- than to keep the beautiful screen bare and vulnerable.

PureGear Puretek RollOn Screen Protector

Anyone else get and try this? For people who got this, what are your thoughts on this?
I recently got it and just installed it on my phone. While the application was extremely easy, and the fit was practically perfect for me (no bubbles, location was good, just rolled on fine), it feels very rough? It is not as smooth, like as glass would feel, and seems to make swiping somewhat harder,and the phone feels less responsive (easily noticed on games). Not sure if there is a break in period for it? (I have never used a film like screen protector before. Before, I used a "plastic"-like anti-glare screens before on my iTouch before which was extremely smooth which I am used to)
I might end up getting another screen protector if this keeps up.
But as far as installation goes, couldn't have gone any easier.

I just bought one from ebay a few minutes ago, for my note (I717),, I tried putting on 3 screen protectors the other day and it drove me crazy, I had to keep the 3rd/last one on but the bubbles and dust (tried removing the dust with tape but didn't work out) are so annoying. I really hope this thing works well for me.

[Q] Touch sensitivity / registration issue !

Hello everybody, I just received my g4 yesterday so I had it now for 24hrs and sometimes soft /light touches does not register and I find myself touching the same icon again to make it work .
Coming from Galaxy S6 it seems the G4 sometimes skip a touch or two.
Is that normal? Did anyone else noticed the same ?
Can this be corrected by software updates or is it something wrong with my G4?
Press harder?

Obviously this is the solution but comparing to GS6 and HTC m8 this was never an issue so I am sharing my experience with LG G4 to compare and to find out if this is isolated case or mass issue !
The G4 does not run on super amoled, obviously. The review units seem to have the same 'issue' when compared with other phones. It's the type of screen.

Appreciate your feedback
I just picked up my G4 today and am noticing the same thing. My Note 4 had a setting where you could turn up sensitivity, I have yet to find it on this phone
Give this app a try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com&hl=en I installed it and set it to Super Optimized and it seems to be making the sensitivity a little better. I am coming from the S6 so it was driving me crazy with all the missed registrations.
I'm finding it to be the opposite. While scrolling through my app drawer I end up starting up an app

I'm having the same issue, however I am running a Mime tempered glass screen protector. My cousin has also reported the same issue where it is missing taps, he's running a Zagg tempered glass screen protector.
To those with the issue are you also running a tempered glass protector?
I have a tempered glass screen protector. I did use the phone for a day or so before I started using the protector. The outcome has been the same for me either way. 90~95 out of 100 taps and swipes are registered properly but the 5 to 10% missed taps are starting to get really annoying for me. Most of the time I won't notice or care in a non gaming scenario though.
I have used the app posted above and it doesn't seem to really make a difference for me. Very frustrating because everything else about the phone has been great (battery, camera, screen, sound, etc). Debating if it's worth rolling the dice on a new phone.. We are in 2015 and this shouldn't be happening, last time I had a phone that missed taps was like 2011.
I was having a similar touch issue. But I fixed mine--or resolved it. I discovered it while scrolling through the reddit Sync app. I would have to press links twice because it wouldn't register the first time. Then for some reason, I discovered the issue:
IF the screen is moving (as in still scrolling from a swipe) ANY AMOUNT at all, the first touch does not open the intended link/target. Even if the screen scroll has slowed to an absolute crawl, but isn't COMPLETELY stopped, the first touch only 'stops' the screen. If I wait to touch until the screen has come to a complete stop, it works every time. Maybe my previous phones didn't have as tight of a tolerance on how much the screen can be moving before registering touches.
Other than that, the screen may be slightly less sensitive than other phones.
Not sure if this is the same touch issue you're having, but I hope this helps someone.
I came from a Galaxy S3 and have the same issue. It's driving me crazy!
Just to add to the topic I've come from a Nexus 6 and I'm experiencing the same issue. Definitely missed taps.

I am assuming the N6 does not have touch issues like this... I am going to be jumping to it from the G4, I think this is just an unacceptable phone. How is the size / handling of the N6 compared to the G4? That's my only concern...

Honestly I've had every Nexus device and the Nexus 6 I wasn't the biggest fan. It had none of the touch screen issues but the camera was not on the same level and in my experience neither was the battery life.
I also much prefer the size of the G4 and I'm not a fan of AMOLED screens I can't stand the black ghosting that occurs on them.
I've already contacted the Three store here in the UK where I got my G4 and they are happy to exchange but honestly I won't be switching from the G4. We just need more people like on here to make themselves heard and hopefully LG come up with a fix or it comes down to a bad batch.
That's not to say the Nexus 6 is a bad phone but if they can fix the touch screen issues on the G4 there really is no comparison in my opinion.
This was brought up by someone else, but for those that feel the touch sensitivity / registration is not workigng so well, do any of you have a screen protector? Whether it is Tempered Glass or a Protective Film it could be inteffiring with the display?
Also, if you are having problems and have something on your screen for protection, what type of protection is it and what brand? Just figure it is worth a shot asking and seeing if there is a pattern.

I'm using a CaseBase Tempered Glass Protector but my other half is rocking a naked G4 and the issues are still present. I actually already have another Protector on the way from a different manufacture because I initially thought that it could be the problem.
Then I began reading on here and Reddit and discovered we are not the only ones with the issue.

No screen protector for me.
No screen protector here either... it's just super frustrating to have a flagship phone perform this poorly.

I'm actually experiencing both the issue in the OP and the issue you're having where I try to swipe to scroll but it ends up tapping instead, though they happen at different times. There seems to be something wrong with these touchscreens since it seems to be a common problem.

Screen sensitivity and glass protectors

Hey all,
I've had the G4 for about 3 weeks and the screen sensitivity is my only gripe. It sometimes takes several taps to get it to respond and when scrolling in various apps it will not always respond. Like many others I have a glass screen protector and I've read a few times that people think that might be part of the issue. I want to test this without destroying the current protector I have by removing it. I have also noticed that if I need to push for several seconds on the same spot (mainly for long pressing on the keyboard) my finger will move around slightly and not always tap the area I was aiming for.
Anyone else remove their glass screen protector and notice better performance? Or maybe switching to a non-glass protector? It can be frustrating when thinking you tapped the screen and then doing it again and again.
I went to return my phone, peeled off the screen protector, and the difference was huge. Still very weak touch response even without a protector, though. Less sensitive than a Samsung or iPhone anyways. I decided to just get used to it and it doesn't really bother me as much anymore. I went with a warranty replacement to be safe anyways, and it does seem to be a little better than my previous phone. Still a much weaker touch response than my S4 ever had, but i will say that my gf's iPhone 5 is much worse with her thicker glass protector (i bought a really thin .2mm one, which has already spidered within a week xP)
Thanks for the response Ryan. I'll probably remove the glass protector as well then. I bought the one that Verizon offered which I think is a generic brand. It looks great on the phone but with this issue it's not worth it. Thanks again!
Just a quick update. I replaced my glass screen protector with this one from Spigen and it is noticeably better. As Ryan mentioned previously, still not perfect which I believe is something that LG needs to work on. The phone is not as responsive as it should be. The previous glass protector was too thick and this Spigen one makes a huge difference. I still occasionally have to tap twice but this at least makes me want to throw the phone less.
I use an Invisashield and I haven't had a single issue with touch responsiveness. I just got my phone a few days ago so maybe it's got something different. I don't know.

Who uses a screen protector? What do you use to clean the screen?

So, people are starting to report that the oleophopic screen coating is wearing off on the S9, and mine definitely is doing the same. The entire middle section (used the most) looks gray and disgusting even after a couple minutes of use.
How's everyone else's screens (without a protector) doing? Any specific cleaning methods that have worked for you? I used a spray specifically for screens, but that's obviously not working the best...
Don't use one, never have since the S5, just use a soft cloth / t-shirt to clean mine, Gorilla Glass means you don't have to worry too much about scratching it unless you're careless
I've never used a screen protector and also just use a soft cloth. I don't remember ever getting a scratch on a phone screen with Gorilla glass.

Wrong, NONE. I've pulled out a couple of old Moto phones and there aren't any scratches on them either. I checked a couple of my wife's old phones that she throws in her purse and none on those either. I've actually got an old Moto E with my golf GPS app on it that I keep in my golf bag and it has no scratches either.
What about the issue with finger smudges becoming more and more apparent over time? It looks like the area I use my phone most is cloudy because the first swipe you make, already starts making a mark. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe my glass is just defective.
