Issue with actual screen or not? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I currently have a problem with my V30+ when I tried to apply the screen guard on it.
At some areas on the phone screen, the screen guard just won't stick properly. I tried a few times, different pieces of screen guard, still the same issue at the same places on phone screen.
I tried the same type of screen guard on my friend's LG V30+ but it didn't have the same problem.
The screen was cleaned, I did make sure there was no dust or anything it, as what I could see the screen was definitely clean.
I work at a phone accessories shop so fitting screen protectors isn't a problem for me. And I understand sometime the screen guard could be faulty, but tried about 5 times, and all of those time, the same issue at same areas on the screen.
I realised my friend's one was manufactured in May 2018 and mine was in Jan 2019. So I wonder if it is because of the actual screen, the difference in manufactured batches? Or do you think I have faulty/bad copy? Or definitely problem with the screen guard.
I know the screen protectors I used aren't made for the V30+, but I really need something to protect, cover the screen from scratches until the proper one comes (Gonna need a while).
What concerns me here that I am having a bad/faulty unit? As looking at this problem, it feels like somehow the screen is concave.

No offence but I think you use poor screen protector quality. I bought my on ebay UK and it looks really good, and it's curved, it stick nearly perfect. Also cover most of the screen.
This is the one I bought :https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263757262320

Screen Protector - to be or not to be?

Hey guys, please vote here - who use screen protector with own TP2
And those who use, please describe here who is the manufacturer of your screen protector and your experience, how good is it for you.
Most recent HTC devices have come with pretty good screen protectors included in the box. I didn't use a screen protector on my first device, and I'm not making that mistake again.
anyone knows why they don't install it from the factory?
I voted and i own an x1. I use.
I've seen threads like this before and I've always wondered why there is even a debate on this topic. Why would anyone not use a screen protector?
My theory: The next person you see using a touch screen device with no screen protector, probably doesn't use one because he messed it up when applying it on the device.

well the picture quality without it is much better, isn't it? I have now 3M protector on my HTC herald, and it doesn't look as clean as without it.
You should use the Crystal Clear type. You sometimes don't even noticed that it's being installed.

That's true, but when you use your device for some months without any protector, it will never be so clear as with a screenprotector (that you can replace when needed )

Based on what I read in the accessories forum, I decided to try a Martin Fields one. Had it on for 2 days now - so far, so good. The one that came with the phone kept peeling off at the bottom edge near the buttons.
I didn't bother with my Vario III, as the ones I tried seriously affected the screen responsivness. Of course it got a key scratch in the first 3 months:-(
On my TP2 I installed the supplied one, and will get a Martin Fields one.
However I've got to return the unit (dodgy radio), so it is vital not to scratch it before returning it!
I messed upp my original screen protector
So i bought the Copter screenprotector from Skalshop.se it's a bit rubbery, but other than that it works good. It came with some liquid spray for aplying the protection. A bit tricky to apply but worked good in the end.
Martin Fields - where from you guys are buying them? I don't see them at ebay for TP2
also - are they really the BEST? or they just have the highest price?
The store from which I bought my TP2 gave me another screen protector - I haven't used the one that came with the device. Probably cost them less than US$1-2 to buy in bulk - I never pay more than US$8 for one retail
Using the one supplied with the evice and it works perfetly (I was against screen protetors when I had a Hermes, but with TP I can barely see it)
I once had a device and when I applied the screen protector I hated it. It improved sunlight visibility by refracting the light, unfortunately this made it harder to read fine print on the screen. I also couldn't remove the protector and was stuck with it. Another one I had tried before that one which was removable, reduced sensitivity too much.
Those are reasons not use one. But as long as the available protectors can be removed in case you don't like them, then it's worth trying them out. That way you don't risk your screen unecessarily.

That's right! I use it and it's better than the one that HTC gives us: I have a new one because it was removed while in my pocket.. But now I'm happier!
I´m using touchscreen phones for many years (since my first PALM ) and i´ve noticed that the new screens are much more resistent. I think that you loose quality if you use a screen protector.
Just don´t put your phone in the same pocket that coins, keys,... and use it´s cover when putting it in a bag.
one other advantage with a phone like this should you choose not to use a screen protector is that since the phone has such a large screen and it's so touch optimized you won't get as much wear and tear on the common points of contact (like the "e" on the onscreen keyboard).
I use Proporta Screen Protectors. After I had used then in my Asus P535 I do not want another brand. They protect very well the screen, they were washable and also doesn't change too much the sensation of the touch with the pen or even with fingers.
I dont use one for a few reasons. I dont put my TP2 in any pocket with coins etc. I am pretty careful with it.
Although most importantly im insured on it, accidental damage w/ no excess to when the time comes it gets a bit dodgy ill smash it up and get a new one. If ive still got the TP2 when my contract runs out/upgrade ill probably wap a screen protector on then.

S2 i9100 with pre-installed display protector???

Hello
I just purchased a white Galaxy S2 i9100. The phone was obviously sealed as it was bought from Vodafone Germany.
Now, removing the usual "brand new" display protector (The one with the phone's features printed on and so forth) ... After that, I really thought the phone had a bare LCD, I always cleaned it, etc, shiny and clean. However, after a few days I started seeing a bubble come up....
Then I realized it had a preinstalled screen protector? Really thin and I can see it on the edges of the phone...
Anyone else has experienced this?
Probably it was bought by someone else earlier who might have installed the screen protector and later returned it to the shop for some reason.
Odd. I don't think mine has a screen protector. But there was a very thin plastic covering on the home button, which I found odd.
Mine neither, if it has one you would have seen it at the front cam, the sensor, and the speaker bcz they are left out.. my home button got one too, yay
mine neither, too.
The only Protector was the thing with informations about the phone

How's the touchscreen?

I've had a number of smartphones and tablets over the years (and working in IT, I've used a hundred times more). On every gadget I've used, the touchscreen/digitiser has always been 'perfectly' sensitive, i.e. I've never been able to touch the screen without it registering a touch.
With my P9000, if I'm very gentle, I can touch the screen and it doesn't register as a "touch". This isn't really a problem, until it comes to using the keyboard. The bottom (half?) of the screen is a little bit less sensitive than the top, and this is a really annoying when I'm swyping. Sometimes the finger loses just enough contact, and the phone thinks I've swyped two small words in, rather than one big word.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing all this is to ask via the medium of a poll... Has anyone else had this? Is this common with the Elephone P9000?
I dont have this issue. But I read some (not all) screen protectors can cause the screen to stop functioning as expected

I used a tempered glass screen protector and then the screen almost didn't work. When removed the screen worked perfectly.

Did you use the official one? Been told that one causes serious issues. I have one from a company called brotech but I've yet to use it
I found that one of those plastic flexible screen protectors made the sensitivity issues a bit worse, and the tempered glass screen protector made it worse again.
(Again, I could get easily get it to respond, but I would make mistakes when I was swyping at speed!)

Yes, this was the official one.
I'll be putting my Brotech screen on later today. I'll let you'll know how it is
I noticed that the screen is very unresponsive (especially bottom part) when the phone is laid flat on a horizontal surface. When I take it into the hands it works quite normal.
I have the same problem. With tempered glass it is unusable. Even with out it, it very often does not register touches, especially on the sides
I'm using the elephone supplied tempered screen protector and my touchscreen sensitivity is awful...to the point where I want to smash the thing into tiny pieces. I've never had this problem with any other devices I've had. Can anyone tell me if the touchscreen experience is better if the software is flashed...to use Cyanogenmod for example...?

White Shiny Stain On The Screen

I don't know why this happened. I'm using the tempered glass screen cover. Can anyone say what it this and what should I do?

Run some of the extra tools in AnTuTu to check if it's an actual screen problem.
Might be a "bubble" under the screen protector - can you "move" it with your finger when applying pressure?
Is it a spot where the screen is brighter? If so, I think it's a defect related to the backlight. I bought a cheap replacement screen for my Nexus 5 when I broke my original one and over time it's developed more and more bright areas. I suspect something is delaminating causing uneven backlighting. I believe it can also happen due to water/liquid damage, but in my case phone phone did not get wet.
Actually, I just tried twisting my phone and also applying pressure to the screen and noticed the LCD reacts (flashes) in those areas when I press hard, so I think it may be an issue with the LCD panel itself, not the backlight. In any case, I doubt there's much you can do about it, and be warned it could get worse (I used to have a spot or two near the bottom of my screen, but now I have them all over the screen.) In my case I've just learned to live with it, telling myself having paid $35 for a screen which developed this problem is a lot better than living with a cracked screen, and I'll have a new phone soon, but I would not expect this problem with a new phone.

Screen sensitivity, Returning mine

Hi
I got the V30 almost 2 weeks ago and the sensitivity is horrible, i have to press most apps or buttons 3 to 4 times before it responds. I thought it might have been my glass screen protector so i removed this and its still the same. Anyone else had this or heard of this?
Nope. Pretty responsive. Think most reviews say the same.
Mine is fine. My V30 and now V30+ seem to work fine.
Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk Pro.
Yes mine is doing it with small items online with websites and in most apps k use even with Gboard sometimes
There was sensitivity issue in past LG phones too. I hope that doesn't make an appearance here.
I returned mine today, got a replacement , So far so good on the new one, Mine would do it on large parts of the screen, I ran an app showing screen touches and on some parts of the screen i had to tap it hard for it to register which isnt right!
Glad it was resolved thru exchange.
I've only experienced a few instances of my V30 not registering my finger press, when tapping an "accept" button or some similar circumstance, maybe just 3 or 4 times. Could have been a browser / app issue -- the issue doesn't repeat, and the norm is the lightest brush of my finger against the screen is all it takes.

Yes , no questions asked , they just swapped it outright. The sales guy did take it off me and try , I watched him try and press the home button about 5 times without success lol. Hopefully just a bad handset and nobody else gets this.
Mine worked great until I put a glass screen protector on it. Now I am having the issues you mentioned. Isn't there a way to recalibrate the touch screen sensitivity?
The occurrence with screen protectors, specially tempered glass protectors, is pretty common with these new curved phone screens because the glass has adhesive on the edges only, and the screen protector does not transmit positive contact to the phone screen on a consistent basis. The solution seems to be to use a protector with full screen adhesive, (LOCA), but it does need to be cured. Additionally, this method prevents another nuisance... the constant intrusion of dust and lint between the phone screen and the screen protector.

Very common with the glass screen protectors. Lots of information in the accessories forum.
Seems to be a quality control issue with lg. When i first bought my phone from a Sprint store, I noticed the same issues you mentioned. Had a spot on the screen that would only respond to short touches. If you moved an app to a certain spot on the home screen you couldn't move it, only open it. Exchanged it the next day in store. The replacement device works great with no issues but upon opening the box i noticed black plastic shavings underneath the plastic screen protector that wraps around the phone.
