I forgot to carefully survey my brand new screen before putting on protector on it, which has as always has 2 or 3 dust particles under it. I'm worried that since I didn't look at the screen very carefully before putting the protector on, that it's actually under the screen glass and not the protector but if I lift it up to check it will ruin the application. Do these super amoled screens have issues with dust getting between the glass and screen during manufacture or is this not a problem ?
Possibly? If it's a crappy screen protector, who cares. 99.9% chance it's under the protector, so get it out. If it's a glass one, it's possible to lift it up on the edge and slide a dust removal sticker or piece of tape under and get the dust out... I did it on my G3 but I kept losing grip of the corner under my fingernail so there is a slight part of the corner that no longer sticks perfectly.

To prevent this, instead of using your fingernail which causes a slight bend in the plastic, use a piece of tape stuck to the corner to slowly lift the corner edge without bending. I use to always bend corners before switching to this method.

Well mine is glass and cost $30 which is why I didn't want to replace it. If it's a cheap plastic one, just replace it and do it right.

Sumsung fuses the Glass and Digitizer, so it is highly unlikely that the dust is actually under the screen.
it is dust free

What he said. I've had that problem in the past with iPhones (LCD) but it shouldn't be an issue with Samsung's AMOLEDs. It's infinitely more likely that you just have dust under the screen protector. I install these at work all the time, sometimes it happens.

Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.
Hi guys, I'm about to put the screen protector on my phone but I do not know what's that for (number 4 - the RED THING ;p):

I think that it's a piece of adhesive tape. When you are applying a screen protector and notice that there is a dust particle stuck underneath, gently remove that part of screen protector already applied and use the adhesive tape to take the dust particle off the screen.
I am not 100% sure but it could be that.
From that blurry picture I really can't tell you what it is, you got any other photos of it?

a piece of advice, try to put on the screen protector while in a steamy room, like a shower, otherwise there are many dust particles in the air, even if you clean the screen throughly before applying the protector some dust particles tends to apear from nowhere!!
if in a steamy room there is less partiles in the air and you have a better chance of putting it on without dust underneath.

From now one you're my guru. When I'll buy another Nillkin screen protector I'll apply it in the bathroom.
And I'm not being sarcastic.. I've destroyed both front and back protector with all the dust particles ;/ I suck ;p
I was wearing a head lamp when applying it ( to see each and every dust particle) and as you said they were just appearing from nowhere damn you dust..
Hi Everyone, first post here on these forums. I've been trying to find some more info on Skinomi's full body coverage for the HTC One M8 but so far nothing has come up.
I've got a few questions about it specifically with this phone before I buy one (if anyone here is using one).
If so, how has it held up since you've installed it? Any peeling etc?
I mainly purchased this for the speaker grill protection to use with skinomi's glass screen protector and I'm wondering if there are any alignment issues?
On the same note, I'm assuming the screen + glass screen protector will be higher than the speaker grills (even with the skin installed)?
Can anyone provide some insight?
Thanks!
I bought one of these because I planned on going naked. I received the first revision which was just one whole screen protector but I asked them if they can send me the 3 part front protector because I was only going to use the grill protector since I have a tempered glass. The glass protector is definitely more raised than the grills even with the protector. Phone didn't feel that much slippery in the hands anymore but I still felt like needed to use a case for work. I bought the SGM Tough Rugged case from amazon and it fits pretty good even with the back/sides protector but the bottom grill protector would peel every time I put the case on, but it would stick back when I took it off. Eventually I took it off because it was annoying. It probably peeled because I didn't align it as good as I wanted. I also have a Spigen clear capsule case but the materials didn't really play well together and it was a bit hard putting the case on and sometimes the bottom ports would not align properly with the case.
Anyway, if you're going to go naked I would recommend this since it'll protect the phone from scratches and such but if you plan to use a case it might or might not go well together. I decided to peel the back and sides as well in the end. I really wanted to go naked since the device looks sexy but I've always been a case kind of guy and the phone also didn't feel that comfortable in the hands as it does with some cases.

Thanks for the response! Got a few more questions.
Did you have any problems getting the grill protectors and the glass screen protector lined up right?
How long did you use it before it started peeling?
I've read things about the HTC logo on the back of the phone peeling off on it's own, so I'm worried that if I decide to remove the back piece and go with a case that it will strip off the logo as well. Did you have and problems with this?

No problem. The glass protector didn't get in the way with the grill protectors since the glass only covers the screen area and not the grills. The only times the bottom grill protector started peeling was because of the rugged case's lip would lift up the protector and it would peel a bit every time I put the case on. I still believe it was due to me not aligning the bottom grill correctly because the top grill never peeled. And everything else never peeled. Haven't had a problem with the HTC logo. When I peeled the back it was pretty hard to pull it off since it really sticks to the phone.
Also the installation wasn't really easy. It's a wet installation and probably took me like 30 minutes or more. It was mostly because the sides wouldn't stick and the back protector kept moving around. I had to use a blow dryer so the sides could finally stick, maybe I used to much solution but yeah I hated the installation.

As far as the installation goes, do you have any tips for doing the top and bottom grill protectors? I just got mine today and I'm afraid of getting any solution into the grill holes.
I was thinking of doing the top grill protector, then lining up the glass protector and finally lining up the bottom grill protector that way. I hope there are no spaces in between any of the pieces.

Just don't wet the protector that much and you should be good. And yeah you can start by top grill, then glass, then bottom grill. I believe you're supposed to not use your device for a few hours after installation. Good luck!

Getting tired of these crappy screen protectors. The glass ones only have some OCA tape on the corners which is problematic when water touches it. It also leaves air between glass and screen meaning touch sensitivity is impaired. I have one of these screen protectors and I have removed the tape. Is there a problem using LOCA to bond the screen protector to the screen? This is supposed to be a semi permanent installation. Right now the only problem I see is the adhesive pooling around the home button.
Isn't LOCA permanent though?
I would like to know what silicone glue the stock screen uses.

Yeah LOCA glue is permanent but can be removed with fairly easily with solvents.
@Illogi.xbone You have any suggestions on good plastic screen protectors? I just want a buffer in case I drop the device glass first. With plastic, the screen would still shatter. Plastic screen protectors are also less of a fingerprint magnet. I always carry sharp objects and the plastic protectors keep getting cut up.

I tend to keep my phone in a separate pocket to anything else. I don't see loca working well but you can always give it a go. Plastic will always get cut and yes, the screen can/will shatter (same with tempered glass) but I prefer the coverage that they provide and resistance to fingerprint smudges. I have used Skinomi in the past, don't like their matte ones though.
Geez, if it has come to this point just use the screen as it was intended.

Still suspicious about the LOCA
Wow, lots of folks posted about the soft screen which resulted in a screen protector being applied, however now the talk is about screen peeling. I hear the fix is Moto charges 50 bucks and adds another screen or screen protector. Not sure whats going on so about you folks........any screen peeling problems/solutions. This could be a major FAIL again on this flag ship!
No issues here.

I don't have a problem with it and my screen has been abused already although if your having that issue then you may have done something to it on accident I don't believe it's the phone
yes the screen is VERY soft. small nick-nack scratches on mine. The glass protectors don't really fit, and because of the plastic cover motorola installed, its makes the touches very inaccurate when a tempered glass protector is installed.
next version, I hope they just go flat glass and leave the so called shatterproof technology alone
No issues at all. Screen protector fit perfectly from day one and it applied fast.
Removed Plastic coating
My screen was scratched pretty bad so I removed the plastic screen. I used a heat gun and digital thermometer and did the same steps as you would replacing the digitizer. You can heat the screen up to 180 to 200 degrees without damaging the board,screen, or and digitizer. It can go higher but don't push it this the only fragile part of the phone I found so far but it is. I used a razor blade after heating the screen up and at the corner carefully to start peeling the coating and once you get started a little at the corner start using the cards Don't pull on the plastic when the glue soften because you will be pulling the screen the rest of the plastic is still stuck to use playing cards to get between the lcd and the plastic coating which is basically a factory installed screen protector with a lot of sticky glue. Don't force the card push as far as you can with light pressure when it won't progress any further stop and heat the screen up again grab another playing card and continue to use cards to take that plastic coating off. And you want to leave the cards as you go. When done you are going to have to clean the residue off it will take a little time but when your done put on a high end protector like I used the Za??. My screen works perfectly to the touch and those scratches are not there except one and is was the san andreas fault of scratches before I took the coating off..
I removed mine also. Although I used a less technical method. I just pulled the top layer off and then spent some time scratching at the screen with my fingernail and using alcohol to help with the glue. Took a while for sure. I heard Goo Gone works great for me this.
I got my Z2 Force shortly after the launch date last year, and I have had zero issues with it. It's obvious that the shattershield screen is easily scratched, so I put a screen protector on it right away and it remains scratch free to this day. There's a lot of bad screen protectors out there these days that are warped and won't stay adhered to the screen, so it's important to look at those reviews to make sure you get a good one. I should also note that I constantly flip my phone around in my hand for some reason and I end up dropping it all the time, and I still have had no issues at all. There's not a sign of peeling anywhere.
