Has anyone found a way to disable the rounded corners of the 5T's display? Curious if it would need root or some other modification to make them square again and use all of the actual screen.

There is no way to make it square. the display itself is with rounded corners.
looks sweet the way it is honestly
i actually downloaded Rounded Corners so I could make them more rounded like a galaxy s8 lol, I Like it. I don't think it software based either
im getting the phone in a weeks time. i was also wondering. Can we make the screen more curved like the pixel, s8 etc.
Can someone try cornify or another app and round the corners a bit more and send pics/ screenshots. does it interfere with the clock if u curve them a bit more?

You are incorrect, the screen is square and not physically rounded like the LG G6.
You can see proof of this by watching the corners carefully while you press the power button to turn off the screen. You'll see that for a split second the round corners go away, proving that it is merely a software change.
Hopefully a Dev will chime in on how this might be done.

The little plastic bits at each side of the keyboard. I've just noticed them now. They're like the screen protecter film you get on electronic devices. I wonder if they indicate areas of possible wear and tear
Yes ... they are at the rear of the keyboard and on the underside of the screen half as well.
I found with mine that at the back there were a couple of scratches in this plastic indicating that the mechanism was so tight that it did mark. Hard to say what it would be like over time.
Did you check your PM re the screen ?
Also ... can you confirm your tilt is very stiff ... particularly the initial movement ... and that when you push the screen back down, just before it goes flat ... that you get a distinct click like a dislocation ?

Paul, I just got mine today and you are right, the tilt is stiff at the initial movement and it also has a click (mechanical) sound just before it goes flat.
as far as scratches are concerned, there are none that i can see.
however, there seems to be a gap between the keys and the screen panel, so there should be no problem in that area pertaining to scratches or friction.
Any sign of that pinched top surface about 1/2" down from the top as the front surface touches the left chrome edge ?

Well if the screen is facing towards me then this is happening on the right side surface. Also the protector on the right side (of the keyboard) is a bit worn out so may be that is the reason.
Do you think removing the protector (from either sides of keyboard) will result in scratches?
I too have a stiff one. Yes, the tilt. And when I tilt it back again it has a click. I think the phone feels strong and well-made. I'm already happy with it.
Gutted that I screwed up putting the screen protector on.

The left-hand plastic managed to get tangled up in the slide mechanism this morning. Was a bit of a mission to get it out but I'm just gonna get rid of that bit. Will leave the right side on for the time being.
Incidentally, the screen protector in the box is very soft and gets marked really easily!

If you remove one, I would remove the other one too. Otherwise on side of the screen will experience more friction, what can't be good for the ballance.
I knew you lot would get all double entendrey with that post. For the record, I've been playing with it lots all over the weekend and it's not got any softer. Still nice and firm.
Don't. Just don't.
Hi guys
Can you check curved edges part of display near top and bottom portion to see when pressed with little pressure whether screen goes down ? Especially near front facing camera .
Thank You
Checked near the front camera area and yes ,the screen goes down a little upon pressing in the edges with little pressure.

I agree, it's not a major issue, I was thinking to take of the screen completley and reglue it using some duble sided tape... But there is a risk of breaking the screen in the proces... It's not worth it
What about putting duck tape across top and bottom of the screen? Don't forget to make holes for loudspeaker, front camera and proximity sensor. And for microphone and fingerprint at bottom
So, you're all saying that tbe whole screen is moving a bit in the case? Check teardown and you'll see that is actually glued. Not my favorite solution but I suppose is cost effective.

Bought a screen off eBay, yes you need to heat up the glue underneath the screen with a heat gun.
Got the new screen in after I had to remove all the small piece of glass that was still glued but it's not an easy repair and I still have screen issues I assume the screen isn't the same quality as the original one which comes with a silver backing plate.
In bright sunlight my screen turns blue
The battery maybe will never die, because a bigger LiPo much longer live as a small one and we just load again all 2 or 3 days. So that's ok that's build in. Maybe the screen is much earlier broken. Hope it doesn't broke
My battery has 3600mAh(3597)

I can confirm my phone has the same problem near the top left corner. It is so disappointing to see such a bad build quality.
If you observe carefully just above volume up button screen is not even inside the aluminum frame there is slight gap. And if you apply little pressure screen goes down. Is this normal ?

One more feature discovered
Hi all,
We all know how hard it is to find a good Tempered glass for a smartphone with curving edge display,
That also the case with our Pixel 2 XL
Luckily, finally i managed to found tempered glass that has full adhesive, case friendly, and doesn't break our bank account, :laugh:
Here's the product : Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 2XL Screen Protector FULL GLUE Case Friendly Premium Screen Glass Protector For Google Pixel2XL
http://s.aliexpress.com/qqYVbYFZ?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard
(from AliExpress Android)
Price : $11.77 include free shipping,
It took week till it arrive to my door. Item shipped from Hongkong, am living in Indonesia
Packaging : its good and safe. Tempered glass placed inside a sterofoam box .
Installation : Now, this is the tricky part, although it has full adhesive, the installation wont go as simple as installing other (ex iPhone) full adhesive TG. It (the adhesive) tends to spread unevenly causing bubble.
The trick is to go from the corner, while keep the other corner floating, press the glass with two or more finger ensuring no bubble appear in the process.
It will take sometimes till you get it right with zero bubble,
But the result is rewarding. It perfectly fit, and can be used with cases as well. I use it with original google fabric case.

It was quite gambling for me as well, lol,
But since i have no other option available in my country, u guess i have nothing to lose for 12 bucks.
Now am waiting a case to arrive
Looks good. I just don't understand why they make the top and bottom black instead of clear if it is full adhesive.
I'm guessing this is the same product as HeroShield. Looks the same. My HeroShield should arrive in a few weeks, so we'll see.
Does it have a cut out for the proximity sensor? I don't mean just a transparent window, proper gap/no glass bit over the sensor. I can't see from the photos
how is the screen feel and oleophobic coating? Does the finger glide eaily on the screen?

Its because although the adhesive on the display area is full, there's lil gap on the edge area where it doesn't have the adhesive, i guess due to the curve, it still not possible to create fully transparent glass protector with full adhesive. I never seen one for popular phone like iphone either. All iphone x glass protector has coloring as well.
The only real transparent protector with full adhesive is whitestone probably, but thats using low viscosity loca to begin with, so its different story, not to mention the skyhigh price.

It doesn't. It have a transparent window with adhesive under . It stick perfectly though, thus no interference to the proximity function. I try make a call and place finger over the sensor, it work normally

Nothing extraordinary regarding the coating i guess. Finger glide nicely just like on original screen. But it collecting fingerprint overtime. (Am one of those guy who have wet hand all the time though, so my experience with fingerprint might be severe than how it should) :silly:
ordered! hope it will arrive soon!
btw do you have to tear it out to re position it when you are applying on the screen?

You need to lift it off if you already stick large area of it prior to reposition,
Positioning is quite easy though, the harder part is to push the glass slow and even.
I'd almost be interested, but I try to stay away from protectors that cover the proximity sensor. I know it works sometimes, I've just been bitten by it too many times on phones where it causes issues.
Here's HeroShield's install video. Seems like they include a squeegee with theirs to help with the bubbles.
Mine comes today, so I'll see what it's like too.

Can see from the video that it has glass covering the sensor, so it will be hit or miss. Some will have no issues with the sensor. Others will.
Mine will be here in a few weeks, so I'll see then too.
Hi OP... Are you able to post some picts of the top and bottom edge of the phone? Or a pict that can somehow show the gap of the side of the protector to where it meets the screen. Just curious to see if there is a slight gap as there is no adhesive there. Since I go case less, I am afraid I will always crack the glass because of this gap. Thanks in advance!
Something like this ?
Those picts are good!!! thanks!!!
Title says it. I am finding swiping in from the left (specifically for hamburger menus in apps) very difficult to do. Half the time it just seems to not register at the edge of the screen. I thought maybe it was my case, but it's just as difficult without the case. Some kind of edge rejection or maybe diminished touch sensitivity from the screen protector? I don't wanna remove it if I don't have to... Anyone else seen this?

Hmm, because I have the exact same issue as you with my TG screen protector.
It's pretty damn annoying, even had to switch launchers because I can't use swipes from the edge anymore :/
Yes, exactly the same issue. I'm guessing that's a bezel less design flaw if OP5T and it cannot be fixed with software patch. I can live with this issue
Same thing here. I just thought it was from having the case on, and so I didn't bother trying to experiment with it more until now.
Don't know what's wrong with your 5T's because case/screen protector or not I have no problem swiping down from the top, bottom, from the left or from the right on my 5T...
I opened play store and pull the menu from the left with no issues and also the notification bar from the top.
If you are having problems this does not seem to be the norm for me but then again maybe mine is the aberrant unit... It works fine...

I have to be very deliberate with my swipes from the left and I'm guessing it's in part because of the small bezels and my fat fingers. So when I swipe in, it doesn't see my finger as being all the way to the left, so it becomes difficult to swipe the hamburger menus in.
What I don't know if it's because of the bezels directly or if the screen protector is making it worse. And I don't want to take it off to test because then I will need to get a new (potentially inferior) screen protector and hope I can apply it without any bubbles.

Again, my screen protector is stock applied from Oneplus, I am by no means a small person and have ham fists too. The bezels on the right should be the same size or the phone would look pretty funny...
Either side to swipe is the same, quick swipe from left or right, top or bottom, all work equally well.
How does yours swipe from the other sides? Do you have an issue swiping from top or bottom too?
It shouldn't matter where you swipe from, it should be the same. Quick and easy with no having to try again and again.

No I don't have any issues from the other directions because I don't have to swipe in menus from those sides. Swiping between home screens is no issue, it's just hamburger menus on the left. And I think it's because the bezel is so small that my fat fingers taps don't register far enough over, so I swipe and get no menu unless I am very deliberate. On my last phone, the Nexus 6, I never had to think about it.
I have some issues swiping on a certain edge of my screen were I can see that the pre-applied screen protector is starting to come up a little from the screen. I'm thinking of pulling it completely off soon.
Hello xda users !
I have a question about RN5 display. I don't have this phone yet, but I'm about to buy it. I'm a little bit concerned about its display, more precisly I would want to play Baldur's Gate on this phone (I love BG ) on my free time, for example when I'm on the plane or something. You know that in this game there are bars on the left and right side and in every corner there is a button to press (for example to freeze the time) and they're pretty close to those corners and on the RN5 the corners are slightly rounded. Will it be a problem?
I'll post a random screenshot that I found on the internet which shows the interface of the game, maybe even someone tested the game on this phone and know everything?

The rounded corners on this device are very subtle. They absolutely do not interfere with anything on the screen in regular use.
Regarding the game, you should be just fine. I don't believe it'd cut anything off, or at the very least, I'd say it might just perfectly leave the buttons alone.
All right, thanks for Your answer! :good: I'll see when I get the phone. I'll post the result then, maybe it'll help someone as well.
