Has anyone successfully applied a tempered glass on G5 without having bubbles? especially in the bottom right corner. I have already tried 2 different ones and they both have the same issue. I'm starting to suspect that the phone screen itself might have uneven surface somehow...

Me too..
many have, including me without any problems.
What tempered glass did you buy?
There are some youtube videos showing this issue. I wonder if it's a defect of some units or if it's a tempered glass issue
Same here

Anyone else notice this? Especially with a screen protector on I have noticed "dead" spots on the touch screen randomly show up and cause me problems.
When I first got my phone I had this issue. I had Verizon install their glass screen protector which I really liked, but I had random dead spots. I went to return it and of course they wouldn't take it back. I got a bit heated. I got the regular screen protector and have not had the issue since.
It was AWFUL with the all glass one for me, but is still noticeable even with a "flex" glass one that is just about the same thickness as a standard protector.
I am very curious if all G3s suffer from this.
my buddy with spigen glass doesn't seem to have the same touch issues I have with tech armor glass. once i get frustrated enough i'll get the spigen
I have the glass protector and sometimes I just want to throw the phone against the wall, especially when playing a game like GTA
I have had the zagg glass protector since i got the phone release day an have had the same problems but not enough to make me take it off i found out that when it happens i just turn the screen off and on then it fixes itself
I play Ingress on my G3, and with the 0.2mm iCarez tempered glass protector on it I get random areas where there is no touch sensitivity at all. Multiple presses, hard presses...nothing. Sometimes when I breath on my finger and try again it works for a while. Other areas work. Weird.
Since the iCarez has cracked in multiple places now and I am expecting a replacement, I could remove the shards and try it, but the One Plus seems much nicer overall, for screen touches. No protection on it though.
Happens to me to. I have the glass screen protector from the Verizon store. Sometimes I just wipe my fingers clean make sure they don't feel oily and sometimes that gets things going again. But yea its annoying
The thicker tempered glass screen protectors will result in this behavior in my experience. The icarez .2mm one is fine and has no touch issues that I can reproduce. The default verizon one they sell in the store near me is horrible.

.12mm thick. The protector is not the problem that I can figure. I wonder if this design flaw is still being reproduced by LG or if they fixed it at some point. It is getting very old, very fast.
I had the Verizon tempered glass screen protector for about a week, and noticed areas of the screen that were nearly dead, especially along the edges. I removed the screen protector, and haven't had an issue since.

I have this one and still get the occasional area that I can't touch. Primarily seems to affect the top right corner area.
I have used this screen protector now on three phones. Never an issue with any of them and I am a heavy user.

i also had issues that made me want to throw the phone at times.
started with the vzw tg (i didnt realize thats what they were selling me when i bought it), waste of $25 or whatever.
put it in the OB case, and it was all but unusable.
threw the TG in the trash and went with just the OB plastic. still got frequent dead spots. ordered a normal protector from extreme guard on ebay, where i normally get my protectors. took out the OB plastic, put the XG protector on the phone, put it back in the OB case, never had another issue.
Icarez matte screen protectors on Amazon are beautiful easy to install, scratch resistant and don't bring about sensitivity issues associated with tempered
Hi Guys,
Any one has idea about where can I buy Front AND Back Tempered Glass Protector
I am egarly waiting for it.
Thanks & Regards.:good:
i bought it from an accessories store in my country. you can buy one from amazon, ebay, etc
if it's not high quality i don't recommend it as it will cause some weird feedback from the touch panel because of the dirt, fingerprints, fluids .. etc "result from my experience with my current bad screen protector"
so i do recommend getting a high quality Tempered glass screen protector with oleophobic coating
You don't need for back only buy for front side
You can get them for like 8 to 10$
Or on aliexpress.com for 2 to 5 $
sent from either my xperia Z2 or teclast x98 air 3g using TAPALK!!!
I ordered this from aliexpress

Has anyone experience with broken tempered glass instead of the screen? I broke my screen 2 weeks after i got my z2. (It fell from about 30cm to a carpet xD) Touch didn't work anymore, cause of a little crack.
Now i am using tempered glass, and i hope it would prevent the screen from a damage
I have tried 2 different brands of glass screen protectors. Both of them interfered with my proximity sensor. So now I don't use one at all.

I had tempered glass on both back and front cause I never use any cases. I dropped my phone from about 9 Feet (From the first floor), the top right edge hit the ground and the then the it spun and landed face down. To my surprise only the tempered glass broke, So glad I invested in one.
The only damage is that the top right corner is scratched like crazy and because of the sheer force of impact the metal frame has deformed a little near the micro SD card.
Is there any such thing as a tempered screen with oleophobic coating and also covering the camera? My camera's outer glass is so damaged (there are bubbly deformations on it) that it can not focus properly sometimes.
Google Rhinoshield by evolution labs. They have tempered glass protectors for both front and back.

I need for the back cause it scratches easily because when I put down my phone then I put it on the back side of the phone. Now I use a screen protector just on the back side
EDIT: Please ignore this thread. I had a fault with my touch-screen which got repaired at the Sony service centre. The tempered glass protectors mentioned work fine

I have noticed that the touch-screen performance is poor with the tempered glass screen protectors which I have tried. I notice that with the tempered glass protector installed that the digitizer will often lose track of your finger when held down. Here is an example with Angry Birds of what happens:
http://youtu.be/aaOuyJeH33o
The above video was taken with a cheap 0.3mm thick tempered glass screen protector from eBay ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261962820490 ).
Therefore, I also tried a 0.24mm thick tempered glass protector from Orzly ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OFVM88M ). This was a bit better, but is still giving similar problems.
I think we need to find a way to be able to tweak the sensitivity of the digitizer to be able to compensate for the addition of a tempered glass screen protector, because I don't think they work nearly as well as people here make out. Does anyone know where to look in the Android settings/system to be able to adjust the digitizer sensitivity appropriately?

I use a tempered glass screen protector that also has 0.3 mm thick but it's working perfectly. Everything from touchscreen responses and the protector itself

I have used Mocole Glass in Sony Z3 have't poor touch screen problem. Is very smooth on touching.
try an app called "sgs touchscreen booster" from the store.......
I had similar problems with two different cheap glass protectors. I ended up peeling them off. Maybe some <0.25mm would work nicely, but too lazy for hunt.
I'm having a 0.26 mm tempered glass on my phone and I do not notice any loss in screen sensitivity.
Sorry guys, I think the problem is indeed with my phone. I think I will have to send it back for repair. Video with no screen protector:

Hello, i got international version of zuk z1 and i'm not sure does it have originaly sticked tempered glass protector. My speaker looks like on this video https://youtu.be/Kvi6cpTl8HY?t=143 Do you think it's tempered glass? Should i just stick new one on it?
There is no Screen Protector applied when the device is shipped
I purchased my zuk z1 officially here in India and there is a tempered glass protection factory applied.
Why do you think you have a protection applied, because of the little piece inside the speaker? This is just a sensor...
What little piece are you referring to? I can see a thin film layer which is prominent from the phone display itself, visible from the edges and where it is cut near the earpiece.
That's not a screen protector, I made the same mistake and made the exact same thread about the screen. It is not a screen protector at all, believe I tried to scratch that off and didn't end well haha

I broke mine screen today and I didn't had a protector... But I think there is a protection pre installed because the fractures does not reflect on the display or pixels.. I believe only the protector or glass has crack and trying to peal it off

Did yours have scratches before it broke? I'm thinking on whether to put a tempered glass or not.

Actually it did.. A tempered glass is recommended... My phone screen cracked because it fell on the floor and it would not have if had tempered glass in place... And to confirm there is no pre installed protection glass...I tried to peal of the assumed glass but I managed to peal a small peace of LCD. Now looking for a good LCD panel
My zuk fell off and my screen cracked. No lcd damage. Is there anyway i can replace it?

you will have to get the entire screen assembly replaced. I had this issue as well. But i'll suggest using it as it is for as long as it goes if there are minor cracks. or you can get it replaced through service centre, and it'll cost you as accidental damages are not covered inside warranty.
My current phone is a Nexus 6P and I have been using a Spigen case + an intelliArmor tempered glass screen protector. Both products are excellent and I have been thrilled with them (and the phone), but the battery is starting to go on me so I figured it was time for a replacement. After some research I settled on the XZP (G8142).
I was able to order the Spigen case for the XZP, but intelliArmor does not make a screen shield (that I can find), so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Supershieldz before.
I looked at getting the Skinomi skin and just using the part for the screen along with the Spigen case, but I really prefer tempered glass.
Looking forward to my first Xperia phone!
** UPDATE **
The protector, phone, and case all came in. The Spigen case is top notch as expected, as is the phone itself.
The screen protector is also fantastic. I tried putting it on the recommended way (using the guide stickers), but I could never get the right alignment using this method. I ended up free-handing it and lining it up as best I could, and I think I got within a half millimeter or so of a perfect application (the bottom is perfect, the top speaker is slightly off but not enough to be annoying or obstruct the speaker). There were absolutely no air bubbles to smooth out, which surprised me.

Is the adhesive just on the edges of the Tempered Glass? Is there some oil-like residue between the screen and glass?
I purchased a very similar Tempered Glass protector to the Supershieldz version and found the adhesive is just on the edges, top/bottom/left and right but the entirety of the screen, where the border is not is free to flex and obviously, with the gap that exists without adhesion has an odd oil-like residue, which many users reported.
I have had my XZP for a week now and have not even used it because I want a proper Tempered Glass protector which has received good reviews, along with a folio/wallet/flip case which has a strong latch/magnet to protect the phone overall, along with waiting for a DRM/TA fix before I stop using the Z5P and move onto my XZP.

Mine has the glue on the edges but there's no oil or anything in the middle.
It looks very similar to the Supershieldz one, might even be a rebrand. It's under the brand name "Panzer Glass".
It works pretty much flawlessly.

The one I purchased is very similar also, but has the cut-out where you can see the Sony 'logo'. Reviews are poor for those, everyone has observed the same issues as myself. I have purchased several other Tempered Glass Protectors, still waiting for them to arrive, different styles and brands to see which is the best fit with the best coverage. I will report back.

I didn't actually notice if the adhesive was along the edges or the entire piece of glass, but it seemed like the whole piece had adhesive when I peeled off the protective plastic before applying.
I have been using the phone with the protector for about two weeks and here are my observations:
I have moved my thumbs with ample pressure across the face of the protector to see if the glass shifts or moves. It hasn't budged.
No oily residue or weird artifacts.
The fit is quite nice. Without a case, the edges would be noticeable, but with the Spigen case on you can hardly tell there is a screen protector.
In bright/direct sunlight or when you hold the phone in bright light just right you will see a grid of dots on the LCD screen - I don't know if this is because of the protector or the screen itself. It doesn't bother me as it is not noticeable the majority of the time.
My account is too new to link to external sites, so just search supershieldz xperia xz premium on Amazon and it should come up.

Appreciate the feedback. I have just taken possession of a Muvit Tempered glass, it is clear without any borders but just the same as the rest. Everyone I have tried thus far has adhesive only on the edges, the larger portion of the screen is free to flex and move and due to that, requires a firmer press and in doing so, you hear a crisp packet like noise, a sort of crunching sound. Really annoying me now, but it is due to the curvature of the screen that we are seeing a lack of good quality glass protectors. For the Z5P I found P-Think on Amazon to be the best, yet to find any suitable candidates for the XZP.
I will order a double pack of Supershieldz soon.
