Matte Screen Protector for ZR

Hi all !
I just bought THIS screen protector and just loving it.
I was worried about the fitting to the screen but the precision laser cut was very accurate, fits exactly to the screen.
I applied it myself for the first time, it is magnetic(does not leave adhesive residue) so you can always remove apply it correctly. The matte finish is just excellent
It is for Indian users but the seller said they import these from abroad so the same brand can be found on international sites too.

I got a clear screen protector and i like it better than matte finish.

1) can anybody show a side-to-side comparison of matte and clear protectors applied?
2) are the aftermarket protectors better than the sony stock protector?

Hi guys, just got my ZR and I'm loving it but it's quite the fingerprint magnet. Is there a screen protector that can help. I have set my eyes on this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vikuiti-A...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item51b125bc05 but I don't know if it's any good. Any suggestions?

Thank you, for your suggestion I got 3 matte and 6 clear screen protectors I will see how it goes and which I like best. Has anyone removed the pre-installed protector from their device. I'm concerned that I'll remove the SONY logo if I get rid of it (I hear that happened on xperia Z units). Is there any danger in removing it and should I remove it at all or just place the new one on top of it?

Place the new one on top. Doesn't dampen sensitivity too much.

At first didn't like my matte screen protector...
Pros
feels nicer!
no filthy finger prints!
minimal light reflections..
if you use dim backlight it really helps..
you can re apply it.
no air bubbles at all!
Cons
unable to use it as a mirror when screen off.
colours and images on the screen are not as sharp,
slight glow on whites.
But now i wouldn't go back!

I'm still waiting for my screen protector and today I noticed a tiny scratch on the screen. It's not that visible but is there a way to fix that. Will the screen protector cover it or I'm stuck with a scratched SONY?

Take a pencil eraser and rub it off..

It should not be the screen itself. Sony is known to apply screen protectors on each phone in-manufacture. It's not visible but if you insist you can remove it. It's even possible that the sony logo is simply printed on it, like the Xperia V.

Removing the anti-shatter film will invalidate the warranty.

Seriously?? How could this void the warranty? It has nothing to do with the hardware and doesn't affect the device in any way!

Yes, there are a lot users talking about it, removing the shatter-proof screen protector voids the warranty because it'll no longer be shatter proof.....stupid isn't it? I already scratched mine before knowing that, now I'm stuck with a scratched screen until my warranty ends and I remove the f****ing thing.

is this detail specified in the texts ?

I can't really say I haven't researched this, what I know for sure is that this protector is factory heated onto the screen and it's not supposed to be removed.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a screen protector for a whole display, without any holes in it.. I found this: amazon.de/dp/B00K1JTIMG/ but of course, I'm not sure if it's a picture of a real product or just illustrative picture. can someone confirm / recommend something else?
(sorry, posting links is blocked, since I'm new here..)

You are right. The protector is factory-heated onto the screen, remove it and the Sony logo will go off. As for the warranty, there are two paragraphs Sony could use against you if you remove the protector (as stated by the Important information brochure):
Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony authorized personnel should perform service.

Additionally, "What we will do" section, says:
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.

I know it is not very specific, but hey, that's how lawyers do it.
The only thing I always wonder about, is what kind of glass ZR's screen uses... GorillaGlass? DragonTrail? I found many different sites talking about that, but none of them had conclusive evidence. Sony's official response is ZR uses a "Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass". No specific brand mentioned .
Anyway, I bought a good protector for 5 bucks. It's a "KLX Anti-explosion Soft TPU 0.2mm Screen Guard Film" and the package includes everything you need to apply it successfully. Also, I saw a 1mm tempered glass protector for 15 bucks, thinking of buying it next time.

Note 10 screen question

Is it correct that you can't use a glass screen protector with the new fingerprint sensor under the screen?

Have look here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/accessories/galaxy-s10-screen-protectors-t3899458
There is tempered glass for the S10 so will be same for type protectors for the Note 10

Only reason I asked was that the first one I found on Amazon said it didn't work with note 10?

whitestone are expensive and looking at that thread easily break so maybe been thinner for the finger scanner . We should start to see more soon

So got the Whitestone one eventually - complete dud! Despite the price and the promises (and all those Youtube reviews - paid for??) the fingerprint sensor doesn't work.
Interestingly now I've looked at Amazon 50% are 5 star and 50% are one star in the reviews.
I don't understand why it works or doesn't. And yes I followed the instructions to the letter, reprogrammed fingerprints and switched on screen protector setting.
Anybody got one that works yet?

Some high quality tempered glass screen protectors for the Note 10 can work with the ultra sonic fingerprint scanner. The Olixar one seems to work

Have you used it yourself? Seems quite an obvious mark where the fingerprint sensor is - even the commentary mentions a rainbow effect - anybody tried this one?
Or what about the Alinsea Screen Protector? My first one failed with the fingerprint scanner as well but they are sending a newer model with different liquid?
Anybody?

Different liquid, same result. Total Fail
Anybody tried the above mentioned Olixar?

tempered glass screen protector?

Hi guys, i have been looking on amazon and i cant seem to find a tempered glass screen protector, anyone know where to buy it?

Look here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000375464335.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.34de4c4dHq9TK4

I bought the Asling from gearbest but it has a "hole" in the finger sensor part, it has glue there which can be seen when you use the phone.
Is there any other good screen protector? I'd prefer with a selfie camera hole to not have flare on certain angles.

I used a tempered glass for 1 day and removed it again (from Gearbest https://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_009176272936.html?wid=1433363 They simply deleted my 3-Star-Review). It also had that glue at the fingerprint position, which was very annoying.
Besides that I noticed that touch sensitivity is not that good with the tempered glass. For fingerprint unlock you had to press very hard/deep to get the fingerprint recognized.
I also tried to increase touch sensitivity with a trick I found online (Settings - Additional Settings - Languages & input - Keyboard, mouse, and track pad - Pointer speed: Increase Pointer speed for more sensitivity) but it didn't help at all.
Does anyone know a good tempered glass with curved edges, without the fingerprint glue and supporting nearly the original touch sensitivity?

Anyone had any problems with the proximity sensor not working? I have applied a thin film type screen protector that seems to prevent the proximity sensor from working

its hard to expect good TG for this kind of curving phone. I think hydrogel is a safer and better option. Not to mention it's cheap. (USD 1.2)

There are lots of problems with the proximity sensor, with or without screen protectors, don't worry. Should be fixed with an update

I got a Mocolo UV tempered glass screen protector on my Mi Note 10. In-screen fingerprint sensor works perfectly. Bought from Swedish online store. Can't seen to find it anywhere else right now.. so perhaps not to helpful.
Update: Found it here, not a clue if this site is safe or anything as I never used it. But this is the kind of screen protector I have.

Question Fingerprint Sensor problems

I keep having issues with my fingerprint sensor... constant "fingerprint doesn't match" or "Press Harder" or "... cover the whole area..."
This is with a whitestone dome on the phone...
Anyone else having this issue?

I have a galaxy s21 ultra being used with a case by a company called you maker. It originally came with a plastic sticker that was protected and covered. That circular plastic sticker allows the finger to be read using the ultrasonic technology while being in a case. There's another technology that uses light to make almost a 2d image of your print. Try without the case and see if it works. Also sorry about you inconvenience.

well... there's no way i'm gonna take the whitestone dome off since its cured... just wondering if other peeps with WD tempered screens have the same issue with the fingerprint sensor

Had that issue with my S10+ as well. Try removing fingerprints then adding them again - assuming you didn't register after installing the screen protector. Another thing I had done was register the same fingerprint multiple times.

I have the WD screen protector on my S21 Ultra and I'm having issues with my fingerprint sensor also. I'm very disappointed because for the price, I expected it to be fully compatible with the fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung ultra comes with x2 screen protectors people rip the first one off or finger print sensor will not work i found this out the device has a second screen protector so no need to worry

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but did you take off the factory installed screen protector that comes with the S21 Ultra? Not the one that you take off when you first remove it from the box (sort of a dust protector) but there is an actual screen protector there - very hard to see unless you look very close - if you did not remove that, then that is most likely your problem. If you did remove that before installing then I am not sure why you are having issues. Either way - best of luck my friend.

Only exynos variants come with screen protector, My U and U1 arrived without it. So just need to ensure finger print is re-registered. Did not use whitestone dome due to experiences with note 9 glass but the spigen glass is working well with finger prints once registered after application

Yes, I removed the original film that was on there. I also went to the "Display" menu and increased the touch sensitivity option. In addition to that, I registered the fingerprint of my thumb 3 times. I can't seem to unlock my phone in the 1st attempt. It usually takes multiple attempts for it unlock. From a visual point of view, the screen protector installed perfectly. I just wish it was fully compatible with the fingerprint sensor.

this is the exact same thing i'm experiencing!!! So annoying! I wrote to Whitestonedome and asked for a refund. Plus the bottom of the whitestonedome's glass is starting to peel ... even though it was cured and everything was fine for four straight days.
And no, the phone did not come with a pre-installed screen protector.

For what it's worth, the Fingerprint sensor works awesome for me. I have not added a glass screen protector and probably won't. For now, I am simply relying on the one installed by Samsung at the Factory - but I also have another Film Protector from AM-FILM that I will use if necessary. Very happy with how fast the FP sensor is - much better than on my previous phones....

Have both 21 ultra and whitestone dome glass installed. I have noticed that my finger slids a little not being use to glass as I tried for the life of me to use glass with my s10+. Couldn't get whitestone to work so I got zagg fusion glass. I have also noticed that if you have dry ass fingers, like after washing, it won't recognize your print. Try with lotion!

If only Samsung ditched the curved display for a flat panel, then we can buy "normal" screen protectors at fair prices.

The curve screen is a little annoying but also satisfying also

I have problems with original screen protector sometimes, registered finger only 1 time but I get same errors might just peel it off but don't know will it help any

I haven't removed the screen protector that comes with the phone from factory (not the one that you peel when you take it off the box... No issues with fingerprint sensor.. I had a note 20 ultra and I did the stupid mistake of removing the one from factory and putting one from amazon that had the circle for fingerprint.. I had to readd all prints and the worst thing is that it would miss more than hit. When I got my s21 ultra I was smart enough to keep the protective film that came with it. Other than that, I would suggest custom made with hydrogel (something I have seen where I live) which is flexile yet durable and works great with fingerprints.

I installed a generic £4 UV glass screen protector from ebay. Initially I had the exact same issue. But now it works for me. The trick I realised is to remove the old finger prints and re-register them. You will need to register the same finger 2 or 3 times and you will need to use a little more pressure when using the fingerprint scanner to unlock. It is still not as reliable as it would be without a screen protector and you will get a few misses but it gets the job done. I prefer using face unlock most of the time and use the fingerprint scanner only to make payments, access the banking app etc and for that it works fine I just need to press into the screen gently vs just placing my finger on the scanner as I would otherwise.

I don't understand how people claim that screen covers work perfectly well with with this phone's fingerprint sensors. i have tried AMfilm glass, and two soft ones by unique me and... even after the extra sensitivity was turned on, the fingers would fail most of the time. since you only get 5 tries before it locks.... so annoying... are the people that write those ratings all bs?? btw.. first experience with an ultrasonic sensor and it kinda blows..... am i out of luck? never had a phone without a screen cover ..... sigh

If you don't mind not having glass, a zagg will work for sure as I had it on my S10+. Currently running whitestone and if my fingers are just washed, it won't work. But if I rub them together or add lotion to my hands, it reads it with no problems. I have also added my print a few times in different variations like the side of my thumb and the tip of my thumb to make sure it can read any part of my thumb

Question Anybody curious about pre-installed Screen Protectors?

I have been using the device for a month, the front screen preinstall protection is clearly noticeable. My curiosity, the inside screen has pre-install screen protector? as it is quite flat (and no camera hold) so i am really not sure it is protected by screen protector or not, if it is there it is very perfect cutting and very unnoticeable. Any confirm?

I don't think the big inner screen had a protector. I put a matt one on though. Couldn't stand it. I need a protector on everything. Except myself it seems, 6 kids later

yes i think so, so i order one for myself also. Just dont understand the huawei instruction at serting up the phone that this device is pre-applied special screen protector, and they instruct even do not applied third party protector on top of it. So how do you feel when you applied another one on it, touch sensitivity is ok? and does it bubble when fold unfold several times?
