I've removed the OEM screen protector (with nexus 5 logo in the middle), and put another one on, i put it on a tiny amount of centre, and is starting to come off on one corner, but underneath that I can see an air bubble type thing underneath the screen protector, does anyone else have that problem?

Thats just an air bubble because the screenprotector is a bit placed off side , nothing to worry about.

I've taken off the screen protector I put on, but can still see a bubble on the side
Edit: I didn't take off the film above the screen protector, it seems.

Hi,
I have just received a Brando antiglare screen protector. It has a notch in one corner along the short side. Whch way round on the phone should this go? Is there a sensor or somethin that is not supposed to be covered?
Kev
There was no notch in mine, but then I ordered the "ultra clear" one rather than the anti-glare...
Is it about 1/4 of the way from the right-hand side of the top as you look at it? If so, perhaps it's for the notification LED that might otherwise be blurred by the anti-glare film.
I'm not sure where the light sensor is that adjusts the display brightness - but that's another possibility. Perhaps someone else can elaborate.
The light sensor is located in the upperleft corner.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Assuming the notch is at the top right then it is a mm or to the right of the status LED. So the LED would be behind the protector. When i take the protector out of the wrapper to see which side the glue is, this will elimanate two options but i will be left with two options to fit it with the notch diagonally opposite.
Edit the notch is about 3mmx7mm iirc
Can you post a picture?
the picture isn't great but I sit in an open plan office and people are looking at me strangely!

Looks very much to me like it's for the light sensor which is on the left and side of the screen as you look at it.
That makes sense - as the "Please peel this off BEFORE applying" label will be on the 'sticky' side that goes face down, so the cut-out would be on the left if that's at the top.
I got dust under mine somehow.. can see it on black screen.. whats the best way of getting it off?

Peel the applied protector back (I use tape to pull it off) and some sticky tape on the dust to pull if off.
If that doesn't work, you should be able to run the adhesive side of the protector under a cold tap and dry with a hair dryer (check on Brando's website if you can wash them).
Personally I cover the screen of the phone with sticky tape and pull it off just before applying the protector, otherwise dust will just land on the screen again.
Can be a pain sometimes to get it dust free.
Yeah you can wash them... doesnt seem right to wash it lol.. how does it stay adhesive? can u not let it dry by air?
They dont have glue, cant remember how its really working but has something to do with smoothness of the two surfaces, ice sticks to glass the same way.

Thats really clever lol
I rinsed my Martin Fields one last night a couple of times before I got it right, seems to be sticking fine at the moment!
How did you dry it mate?
Thanks for the replies. I havent fitted it yet but ill go with the notch to the top left as you look at the screen.

Hey I just got my Nexus 5 and I can't remove the plastic film that comes attached to the screen! I keep clawing at it with my finger nails but it wont come off its super glued or something and I'm afraid to use a knife it might scratch the screen.
Is there some kind of trick or special way to get this damn thing off?
Try masking tape

Isn't there a little tab above the signal icons? Pull that first and it comes off.

DO NOT USE A KNIFE
The screen protector 'should' just peel off but as you seem to have one that isn't, I would recommend just being patient and hopefully it will loosen with some use?
IF you can't wait, use something like a wooden toothpick/cocktail stick (with care) or something not metal (the gorilla glass should withstand it but why risk it). Good luck

Actually you're not gonna scratch the screen with a knife.
But you should have a part to grab on the top.

The masking tape idea is really goof if the tab is gone

Does it say "nexus" across the screen?
I am actually a little upset that nowaday these electronic manufacturers "have figured" it out as in that they feel like their oem plastic screen protectors shouldn't be a freebie screen protector anymore so now they tack on the logo so you almost kinda force to have to remove it or try real hard to live with the logo. This goes for my samsung s4 which has an even bigger logo on it blocking the view.
I have a nexus 10 and a samsung 500t and both of them came with a nice transparent oem protector. I just scissor clip the lift tab at the corner so the protector doesn't get peeled off. And there, save myself the trouble and cost of having to buy a screen protector..... Sucks.....

The thing is that the "OEM protectors" are only designed to keep the screen safe inside the packaging. They lack the real world protection of more engineered screen protectors. They don't want you to use the film supplied as they don't want you to feel that you are adequately protected, if you're a screen protector user. They may help keep very light scratches from the glass but when you really need a screen protector to do it's job, this will not.
So my idea worked and i now have a full adhesive screen protector. Covers from edge to edge and there is no halo effect. The protector is on good and does not peel/pop out. I am using a unicorn beetle pro full body case and no problems. Before the case would pop out the protector but not anymore.
What exactly was your idea?
How did you manage this? (For the people that haven't been keeping up with your posts, such as myself.)
Did you use LOCA or OCA film?
Sent from my Galaxy Note7 using Tapatalk
so much detail. so much wow. i wish there was more information, like, what you used, how you did it, instead of a brag post. thanks for the pictures though!
One of his older posts discussed using LOCA. If you use LOCA, how do you get it off if you ever want to remove the screen protector?
Yes I used LOCA glue. To take it off you just heat it. It should be easier to remove than when replacing the digitizer.
I got a couple air bubbles though but id rather have that than a scratched up screen lol
Interesting.... but more info on how to do it and what products to use would be great. Thanks OP.
I was just thinking about if this was a solution two days ago, but this is exciting news that its worked. My question is, is the LOCA a problem to handle, because i could see using too much might have some go into the speakers or just seep from the borders. when originally applied. and is there a way to make sure we don't get bubbles?

Yea i got a little on the speaker but you just have to be care full and as it seeps kut clean it with a rag. The good thing is that it wont dry until you put the black light on it. The part you have to be the most carefull with is the home button. Loca will make it sticky and a little harder to press. I also reccoment you get a protector that is completely clear as the one i got has black on the top and bottom and it prevents the black light from drying the glue under those areas. Clean the screen good. To avoid bubbles look at youtube and see how they apply it. Basically a stick figure but instead of a head it is a y shape. Carefully place the protector and let is slowly spread on its own. Once it stoos spreading then you could slowly press down on it and remove the remaining bubbles. I lined uo thw home and back buttons first and made sure the cut outs were aligned for the camera and sesors. Then i applied the black light on the bottom half furst so that it would align properly. I did this while pressing down on it because the air bubbles kept coming up. I also covered up the top half so that wouldnt dry up. Oncw i got the bottom i got rid of any air bubbles on the top half and did the same. After that i put the phone in a box., close it up, do a cut out for the black light to fit and let it sit for a couple minutes to dry more. Then i cleaned and dried the edges. Make sure not to leave too much of the loca in between the screen and protector so you wont get touch senaitivity issues. And do it where there is no dust. I oly got 1 small air bubble but some like white spots that appear to be dust. And again clean the speaker, home button, sensors, and camera before drying. You could also just scrape it off with a plastic blade that the loca came with. And make sure to use liquid version and not the film.
Hi,
Just got this phone and I can't be 100% if it has a screen protector fitted to it already or it is one of the normal in box protectors just a bit thicker.
I don't really like it to be honest - I normally don't use screen protectors so wonder if someone removed it from theirs and how it is.
Thanks

It's a factory installed screen protector.. If I'm not mistaken, most honor phones come with one installed.. Like the 7x as well.. Up to you if you want to remove it..

Cheers, that's what I suspected..
The screen feels too resistant and a bit like an old tactile touch screen instead of a smooth 2018 screen with it on.
. I'll try it for a few days before I decide to take it off or not.

If you're on the latest 130 firmware version, touch sensitivity has gone down from the factory 100 version. It might not be the SP fault for low sensitivity..

I have removed it. It feels poly film type and not confident that it will provide any protection. Instead I bought teslar 3D screen guard and it worked well

Without the poly film screen is better. In fact with poly film the touches were sometimes not working and was not that smooth. For better experience you should remove it and use the phone or use any screen protector. Honor can ship something better in future.
The back cover is fine though and looks good with phone
On my phone the screen protector is not applied properly. It is at a slight angle so there is a small gap on the top half between the protector and the edge of the screen. That makes a sliver of brighter screen; it looks a bit weird.
I've just noticed how dirty this screen protector gets. It seems to catch fingerprints into a dull grey film and it doesn't wipe easily. I will have to remove the thing.

I removed mine and i tell u the screen is much better without it. The original screen does not keep finger prints, it gradually fades away.
Hi all,
Do you all find that the inner screen seems to collect alot of dust? Is it got to do with the screen protector?
Any recommendations on inner screen protector that does not collect dust as much as the factory pasted one?
Thanks all.
Yes i have the same problem. It collects dust and fingerprints. Hopefully is very bright and it doesn't bother me too much when screen is on.
Recommend screen protector not to buy if it looks like this image on AliExpress because they're all slightly too big so you'll have an air bubble at the edge
What I do recommend after buying 20 inner screen protectors is that it fits perfectly with a cut out. I almost gave up because of the lame advertisement photo. The air bubble will go away in a few days usually you'll see within 24 hours also that weird line will also disappear. The other one I bought the line never disappear here is the link https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...624!rec&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US
Also does leave dust but very slightly hope this helps. Going back to sleep

Hi!
Great recommendation....
Did you remove the original film protectors from both internal and external screens before installing this?
Yes but the factory screen protector is more thick and sticky
