[Q] Protective film on new Tab S? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
There seems to be a protective film on the display of my brand new Tab S 10.5. It is hard to see, just a bit around the home button and you can feel it in the corners. It doesn't come off easily. Should I keep trying to remove it or is it supposed to stay on?
Thanks for your help!

If its hard to remove I wouldn't touch it.

A picture would help

Yes please post a picture, I want to know. Because Santa bought my one and it's seems to have screen protection?

New Tab S LTE here,NO screenprotector on it

Here is a picture. As I wrote before, it is hard to see. The flash from the camera makes it more obvious though.
I assume reubenskelly1992 is probably right... I will leave it alone for now. Maybe I'll ask Samsung about it.
ludoke, you can't see or feel anything around the button?

Nope, nothing to see or feel around the home button,deffinetly no screenprotector on my device.
On my Galaxy S5 just the same

Odd I dont have that. I cant remeber if there was plastic when I first got it. There was only plastic around the edges and camera. I dont remeber any on tthe screen though.

That is odd. Never seen that. I know mine didn't come like that. I do have the titanium bronze one though so maybe it's different? I don't get why it would be however.. Does definitely look like there's something there.

no screen protection on tab s.. only tab 4, pro etc, on protection there are pictures it is not transparent..

Scratch Removal

So I think my stylus put 3 vertical scratches down the screen of my nearly brand new Touch Pro 2. It wouldn't be a big deal but they're really annoying because i can see them when the screen is on. Anyway, this is the top option right now unless you guys know of anything else that could work
Displex: wirelessground.com/saguaki.html
Also I see a lot about toothpaste, but theres about 3 billion kinds and I'm pretty sure I'd pick the one that would just mess it up more.
Thanks!
i've used displex before. make sure u apply very little and wipe gently.
its basically like a sand paper jelly that, if you keep rubbing more and more, will eat away your screen.
just use very little and you'll be fine.
as an alternative, buy a screenprotector (i would recommend brando) and put it on the display.
the scratches will mostly "vanish" behind the protector and the display is protected against further scratches.
An extreme case would be to buy a new digitizer (~$30)
and assemble it.

that site states that it is "[FONT=arial, helvetica]Not for use with touch screen displays." [/FONT]I have an HTC Wizard that i want to send to HTC for the rebate program but the LCD is heavily marked up from using the device without a screen protector.
I just installed a InvsiShield full body protector on my tilt 2 the other day after it got a couple small scratches, with the protector on, you can't notice the scratches.

[Q] Need some advice please - HTC TOUCH PRO 2 T-MOBILE

Hello,
I have a HTC touch pro 2 and I removed the sticky thing (looks something like below)

I did this to fix the "oil spill of death" which made my digitiser unresponsive anyways... thats a different question...
I removed it and now it is all dirty and covered with gunk - its no good coming back on my screen. So without it my phone works and here are my options:
A) Buy a new sticker off ebay for $22
B) Dont buy a sticker, but use my full mirror screen protector instead.
I just dont know the role of that sticky thing. Could someone please help me out?
Cheers!
Okay, you need that sticky thing, because it's your touchscreen!
Without it, your phone is very hard to use.
Just get one of ebay, stick it onto your phone connecting the cable, and it should work again.
Thats the first layer of your screen!
Can you send me the ebay link
Hi
Hi,
Well my touch screen works fine without it. Its not on ebay (by itself) but I can buy a digitiser that comes with the sticker.
I dont know what to do.
Thanks
Well, then you probably haven't pulled off the complete digitizer. It should have a connector to it. If it hasn't, you only pulled off the top layer. Either way, you should replace it, because if something happens to your phone now, it is unprotected.
Thanks steyn_e I think your probably right!
That is pretty special, i havent seen anyone before who hade just half of his digitizer pulled off.
Good luck with repairing it.
Steyn
yeah thanks.
i chose not to buy a new digitiser because the sticker is not sold seperately, I guess a screen protector PLUS a hard case will do the job. If I buy a new digitizer, I have to peel off the sticker...... or replace the digitiser. I dont want to get messy so ill take the easy n cheap option

Skin/ Phone Template Request

Hi there.
Iv been looking for a case for quite a while now and to be honest i dont really want one. So my next choice is a skin for the phone.
Before buying either the Ghost Armor or Skinomi TechSkin.. i was thinking of making one myself.
How you might ask? Well my Dad has all types of vinyl and a vinyl cutter.... He makes signs.
What im looking for is a template of either skin or a template (dimenstions) of the phone itself so i can design one myself.
If it all goes well ill take a few pictures of it and post it up here.
I havent had much time to search for a template/dimenstions since i only thought of it now.. and im going a sleep pretty soon. I would be greatful if anyone could help me out.
Last resort would be to scan the phone with a scanner lol...
Thanks.
I just done some quick free hand work of the back cover and a little bit of the side..

Dont mind the color.. i just picked it at random from lots of different ones haha.
After tonight im free for four days.. so like i said before.. any help on finding some sort of template etc would be very helpful.
Thanks.
edit:
I was event thinking of doing a full 1 piece skin.. which covers the back and sides since i never remove my battery or sim.
Bump... no on?
Im finishing work in a few hours and would love to start straight away
Honestly for $15 you can't beat gelaskins. You can use any image you want. So basically the sky is the limit.
I just don't know if it is worth all the time and energy since gelaskins is so affordable.

Anyone noticing this?

On the back of the phone, towards the bottom of the back there are these marks/scratches that are popping up.
As you move your finger over them, you can feel the texture changes.
Why would these appear if I baby my phone, and have had a case on it from day 1.
It isn't making sense.
I tried to see if I could remove it with a cleaner, but no avail.
What are your thoughts?

I have seen these. Even with a case, you get dust(dirt particles) under the case. As you use the phone normally it does move a small amount in the case and that will scratch the back a little. At least this is what I think is happening as its happened with every phone Ive owned thats been cased.
Yes mine has it..... No case... But my last phone (xperia arc) went through more abuse and has no scratches. I don't have a clue what it is about that general area.

Got these as well. Exact same location. I guess the plastic backing finish is real easy to scratch up. Sucks but at least it is minimal.
I got them too, but at least I can just buy a new back or something.
I have tons of scratches on the back of mine. I set it in the cup holder when I listen to Pandora in the car. Recently these red marks have shown up... they won't rub off and I'm thinking its the color underneath the paint.

[Q] Looking for a specific screen protector

First thing I want to clear is that I dont have a Nexus 5, My gf has one and this is for her phone..
Recently I saw one N5 which had a screen protector(SP).. It had the words "Nexus 5" written on it which could only been seen when the screen was off (glowing wud be a similar term but it was more sort of the small freebies we used to get in cheetos/lays in the early 00's I hope you guys get me)
Also i'm 100% positive that it wasnt some kind of screensaver coz I cud make out the remaining part of the screen was off as opposed to be being black(like on voip calls)
Can you guys find me the SP? I am confused what exactly to search for and generic collection of N5 SP is huge, so posted it here..
thanks a lot in advance

What you saw was someone who had not yet removed the plastic layer that covers the screen when you first pull it out of its box. It's not a screen protector per say, and I don't think they sell any of them like that.
As someone who kept mine on for a bit I can let you know that you certainly do see it even when the screen is on, it's just less noticeable.
did it look like this?
