This screen protector, if anyone has it and you switch off your button lights, can you still see an outline of the buttons?
The reason I ask is I've switched the buttons on my HTC around, so back is on the right and I've also killed the lights.
If there are silhouettes of the buttons it'll look mental and i'll not want it
Can anyone clarify this? The images aren't conclusive and probably not to be trusted anyway.
Ultimately I'm simply looking for an edge to edge screen protector, preferably tempered, price doesn't matter so long as it's actually functional and relatively high grade.
Cheers. :good:

Hey all,
I am looking for the best screen protector for my Epic 4G Touch, but with a twist.
A friend of mine got his hands on a Galaxy Nexus, and has made me extremely green with jealousy over how there are no buttons (capacative or not)
So, I was wondering if someone out there knows of a way to hide the capacative buttons, under a screen protector or something, so they still function, but are not seen at all... so maybe a screen protector that is black at the bottom or something??
I am pretty sure this can be done, but I would love some input from the community
thanks!
Only thing I can think of is to turn the lights for the buttons off. I doubt theres a screen protector that has black at the bottom.
I'm sure there is a crafty or ghetto way to color the bottom of a screen protector yourself

Screen protector with a sharpie marker.
I did it with my sensation red and it looked like the Sensation xl buttons.

Can we get some pictures of that??
And I contacted GhostArmor, but I haven't heard back from them regarding a black screen protector around the edges.... we will seee!!!
why do you think hiding the cap buttons would be cool?
your phone has button at the bottom, deal with it.
Just turn off the lights in the display settings, they're are good as gone. I mean unless you want to block them out completely with a black sharpie lol
Turn off the lights in settings and get the mirror screen protector, you wont see them anymore.
Funny, I was looking at engadget's review of the nexus this morning and I was thinking to myself, "Wow, those soft buttons look like a deal breaker for me. I'm glad I went with the E4GT"

Yeah same here. Hopefully most phones don't start adapting this design in 2012. The onscreen soft buttons take away from the beauty of the screen layout (in my opinion). Seriously, if I'm going to take the time to customize my screen, I don't want these dang soft buttons below ruining the look.

That's a great idea, thanks!
I want my screen to resemble the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus as well. I don't want to see Samsung, and I'd like the capacitive buttons to disappear when not in use. I don't have the extra cash to order right now, but...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Epi...ccessories&hash=item1c1f8c3939#ht_4242wt_1378
I was thinking the above, in combination with a regular protect and cut and match the two. If you try this before I do, post results!
For the right price someone will make your half tinted half not screen protector. Try decalgirl.
This thread still makes no sense to me. Sell the epic and upgrade. Although the nexus isn't an upgrade other than ics. The gs2 has a better display and same hardware for the most part.

Google has already said that all of the new phones that come with ICS will no longer have physical buttons.
Hi
Please can anyone tell me which bit of the inside of the phone (or the back cover?) relates to the capacative button brightness?
I changed my back cover from black to white and after doing so the middle button of the three is VERY dim. It looks like it's not lit at all but if I look at it in the dark it is actually still lit but extremely dimly. I was really careful when taking the phone apart but I must have disturbed something that controls these buttons. The two on either side are nice and bright as normal. I have no idea which bit I should be looking at to try to fix it.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Regards x

FIXED
In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future with the same problem the fix was really simple. I located the flex with the lights attached at the bottom, lifted it up and there was a thin black sticky band underneath which I assume was used to hold the flex cable down. Part of the black tape had covered the light, therefore making it less bright. I used tweezers to pull it away and lay it flat and all my lights were of equal brightness again. Simples!
Hello guys,
First post as I am curious to repair my OPO to the highest standard possible keeping it as close to original as I can. (Also looking to unlock bootloader/root/install colour os camera amongst other things!)
Any way I cant do any of that until I have a new screen, woke up about a month a go to a random crack on my phone screen.. so my question is what screen/midframe combo are you using? And how does it compare to the original screen?
I have been reading about this for so long I have almost got to the point where I am unsure if it is worth it anymore every single replacement seems to have one problem or another.
I am looking for the original speaker grill. (Can use the one on broken screen if this is doable?)
The capacitive buttons to work and light up properly. (Apparently a lot of the replacemnts have dimmer buttons.)
And of course the most imortant is touch sensitivity and colour. (I would like this to be on par with the original OPO screen.)
Apparently some of the replacement screens are also missing the oloephobic layer, im not to sure if there is any dtruth behind this though.
Any help at all will be very much appreciated!
Thanks, Luke.
I would like some opinions on this too. Oleophobic layer wouldn't be a problem for me as I use a tempered glass screen protector. Likewise don't care about the capacitive buttons as I prefer onscreen ones.
I checked the Q&A section beforehand to see if anyone else was having similar issues, but didn't see any similar threads.
The Problem:
Sometimes, when pressing the back button (and to a much smaller extent, the home and recent apps) it double taps. For example, pressing back to go back a page in Chrome will result in it going back 2 pages. This double tapping behavior.happens with all the keys, but is most noticeable with the back button due to how often it is used.
Possible Causes:
I suspect that the current screen protector may be causing issues with the buttons. I am fairly certain I have seen this issue before in other devices that used capacitive buttons. I'm currently using a glass screen protector that covers the entire face of the phone. As it stands right now, I value the protection of the screen protector enough to keep it on despite the potential issue it may cause.
It is possible that the buttons themselves are defective, but hopefully that is not the case.
Other Observations:
If I take my finger and slide it onto a certain part of each button, it causes the button to be pressed rapidly without having to lift my finger. Also, I can sometimes overload the buttons, to the point that the backlight of the buttons turns off and they become unresponsive for a few seconds.
The Questions:
Has anyone else noticed similar behaviors with this phone?
Can any users with and without glass screen protectors test out the spazzing button glitch?
Thanks! :good:
I have the same issue with the buttons.
Sometimes, when press any buttons, it detects two or more pulsations.
I have tempered glass screen protector.
I have no protector and do not have this issue.

Thanks for the reply. Which brand are you using? I picked up the Sparin brand from Amazon.

Thanks for the reply. It does raise the suspicion that it's a screen protector problem.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the power button on their 2XL?
I have the Black & White version and the orange power button seems to be protruding less and less from the main frame, making it difficult to press.
It's still quite "clicky" but in comparison to the volume rocker it's much more be recessed.

I've noticed that. It seems to fit a little more flush with the frame. not a deal breaker for me. I've got a decent screen... Can't risk a replacement lol
Mine still seems fine, been kept in a Ringke case since new so possibly doesn't get pushed in as far as a naked button.
I've had it in the Google fabric case since I got it which also covers the buttons. I think it also may have something to do with that...the fabric case button is much bigger and pops out more...and now that I've taken the case off, the actual power button feels less prominent.
I rarely use the button.
So, I activate the phone using finger print and turn the screen off using "screen off" app

Ah good shout. I've just activated a similar feature in Nova Launcher. Thanks for the tip.
Yes, same here. Orange button seems slightly recessed.
My dad just got his Pixel, and I have had mine for over 2 months. Both power buttons are identical. Protruding slightly less than the volume rocker. It's definitely not getting worse over time.
I've thought the same thing on the ones i've had but this was the 3rd one i've had and all have been the same spot. Has never failed me yet though had it since launch
