I would like to exchange my current HTC One M8 for another M8 through Verizon (because I have been noticing that the glass is not entirely flush), however I am weary of doing so with CWM Recovery still on the device. I understand how to remove permanent root (SuperSU settings allow for this), though since this is my first HTC device, I am not entirely sure how to proceed from here (get the stock recovery back). Can I just flash the recovery.img from this thread through ADB, or will this brick my device? Thanks in advance for your help.
Quick question, what glass are you talking about that is not flush?

he is probably talking about the entire screen. the time i read that. i remember feeling mine.
the part where the screen touches the metal towards the speakers, mine is lower on the right side than the left (gun metal grey m8)
its not a big deal for me, but im pretty sure this is what he is talking about

Yep, @JWhetstone02 is correct. The glass sections directly above the top and bottom front facing speakers of my device are raised in comparison to the glass covering my LCD. It wasn't enough to originally notice when I first opened and began using the device, but now that my screen protector has finally finished adhering, it is definitely noticeable (the raised portions are lifting the screen protector off of the glass). It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if both sections were equally raised, however they are not; the top right portion is higher then the top left portion, and the bottom left portion is flush while the bottom right portion is raised.
Despite all this, I still stand by the fact that the HTC One M8 is THE BEST constructed device I have ever had the pleasure of using.
EDIT: I actually considered sending in the device under the HTC Advantage Free Glass Replacement clause, however I don't want to take the risk that when I receive my device is may be no better off then when I sent it in. At least at the store I can confirm that the glass portions are all flush.
Mine is the same way too. Even the one on display was like that I'm just saying returning it I don't know if the new one will be any better, let us know

Ahhhh crap. Well, I plan on going in today around 5:30 pm PST, so I will keep you all posted. Do you guys have screen protectors that don't show this separation as much? I currently have a Skinomi Techskin on mine (pictures below), and while the separation does not cause any display issues, my OCD is really kicking in...

FYI, that shows up on every single one I've seen, if you use the screen protector that goes over the speaker grills.
use a regular screen only, you'll never notice.

I tried to circumvent the launch devices by ordering mine after the a couple days after the official launch, because of all the issues I heard the original HTC One had, but apparently I either didn't wait long enough, or the even more unfortunate scenario that the majority of M8's are like this.

Worse comes to worse, I would rather have the separation and my entire screen covered... With such a nice looking device, I would hate myself if I scratched some portion of it. When I purchased the device, there were no screen protectors or cases at any of the Verizon stores near me, so I left my device unopened until the Skinomi Techskin and cheap TPU case I ordered arrived from Amazon. Further, after dropping and cracking my previous Galaxy S3, I am not taking any chances with this phone.
Ignore...
damn now mine has this. ugh my ocd got me now. never noticed...thanks lol
With the latest Gorilla glass i don't think screen protectors are even needed. Up until my last phone, samsung note 2, I always used a screen protector. Didn't use one on my note and never got a scratch on it. Granted i'm somewhat anal about my phone but never had an issue. Now on my
m8 i don't have one. I don't think its needed.....If it keeps lifting due to screen then ditch it.

The Note 3, S4 and the M7 all had gorilla glass and all got scratched... Will never not put some sort of protection on my screen again.
M8, nuff said.
Fix for uneven glass.
Otterbox Defender.
http://www.otterbox.com/Defender-Se...default,pd.html?start=1&cgid=htc-one-m8-cases
The good:
The clear plastic sheet covers the entire glass eliminating the problems OP mentioned.
It protects the phone probably better than any other case.
The kickstand feature allows me to use it as my bedside alarm clock.
The bad:
It's costly.
It makes a very big phone MUCH bigger!
It's slow to get on and off.
The ugly:
Otterbox Defender is an UGLY case IMHO.
I wouldn't be without it! It took a day or two to get used to it but I really like it now.

Thank you, but I can not use an Otterbox case... It defeats the purpose of buying a nice looking phone if I immediately cover it up.

But you'll need a case of some kind for protection, won't you?
I don't know of any case that's as nice looking as the phone, I'd like to not use a case myself but my previous phone had a small problem (I could salvage the SIM and the SD card, the screen, digitizer, motherboard, etc. were completely destroyed so.... I know the case is ugly but I'm sticking with it!
As always, YMMV.
idk if this gives you any hope, but mine is flush on both ends... and if you're still looking for the stock recovery img, try reaching out to a dev. Try @andybones

The screen is gorilla glass. If you scratched it, it wasnt with one of those cards....I put mine face down, in my pocket with change and keys and my wallet and everything. No scratches at all. Somrtimes I ever throw it on the couch where it has been sat on and once the ol lady stepped on it.

Really the screen is gorilla glass?. I have read about this but nothing is confirmed.
Anyway, i installed a CM Barely There Case + screen protector.
do you happen to have one of the Inspires with the loose bottom right corner? The glass has been known to lift up. If so, swap it under warranty.
I've said it before and I will say it again. No matter what measures you take to prevent your screen from getting scratched, it pays to invest in screen protectors and protective cases. Its well worth the investment.

Manufacturing defect and yeah do it before the thing falls apart and you cant claim warranty on it. On the other hand that sucks op I've had mine thrown at the edge of a coffe table at starbucks bounced hit a wooden chair and then the floor all facing the glass the first day...I picked it up not a single scratch. That was when i knew <3 inspire.

I agree with all the people here, this looks like a factory defect and your phone should be covered by the warranty. Go ahead and replace it with a new one.
Good luck

Yeah man that sucks. I scratched mine about 15 days in to. I had it in my pocket with the keys. Not a huge scratch, but there none the less. I have a zagg on it now, but I hate the way it looks with it, and I really hate cases. I would also say there is no way in hell a gift card scratched the glass, that ****e is pretty damn strong. I am WAY harder on phones than most and considering the glass is in really good shape. Love the gg.
I guess you could try for a warranty claim. I decided that it was my fault and as such on me. Your case is in no way the same as mine. Good luck man.

WHAT SCREEN PROTECTOR TYPE IS BEST?
CLICK HERE FOR MY CONCLUSION
(or go to post #14)
====================================
(original post below)
Please share your experience with "antiglare" screen protectors if you have or had used one and help me make my mind?
I have a cheap standard/glossy $1 screen protector for now, but since our phones have screens basically unreadable in the sun I think the kind of s.p. matters more than in other phones case
I had one of the first "mirror" screen protectors few years back, and it was horrible. It made the screen appear slightly distorted. Has this been improved by now?
I used the antiglare type of screen protectors on my evo and evo shift and i loved them and refuse to use any other kind, but they have their drawbacks. Number 1 is it washes the screen out just slightly so its not as crisp and colors are a bit more dull. 2 it feels werid and its hard to explain how they feel its like your finger slides really easy because its a really slick surface, but the surface also feels rough. Like i said i loved them and i might see about getting one for my doubleshot.
*edit*
Also just remembered that the anti glare screen protectors aren't as prone to fingerprints on the screen which is a major gain

I already have hard time seeing my screen outdoors and can't see it at all in the sunlight, so I guess antiglare s.p. isn't for me... Too bad I already ordered it on ebay If you still want it I can send it to you once it arrives here (should be next week - and sending from Canada to US outta be way faster than ordering it from China to USA) just PM me

Ditto to just about everything you said. I personally use the antiglare just for the sole purpose of not having to constantly wipe fingerprints with my shirttail.
It for sure a strange texture to the touch at 1st but actually is smoother and more precise than the glossy kind.
Yes, it does dim the display and make it a bit less vibrant, but I turn up the brightness a tad and it is fine.
All in all, I personally prefer the antiglare just for the fingerprint resistance. Enjoy yours when you get 'em!
Well, the antiglare screen protector arrived today already, and I am actually pissed and I love it too
I haven't test it yet in the sun because I just got home, but I love the texture of it, the matte look, and I can tell it really is anti-glare since it has dispersed even my camera's flash light when I took the photo below
I am pissed because before I order it I emailed the seller to make sure they do have MyTouch 4G Slide screen protectors, yet they have sent me some other one (I'm guessing it might be for MT4G and not the "Slide" version, but I'm not sure). It is too short and has different cam/sensors cut-outs at the top.
I foolishy trusted it is the correct one when it arrived and I had already ripped-off my "clear" one, so I had to install it for now. Which makes me double-pissed
To make things worse my order is labeled "SPAG-HTC-MYT4G-SL" - IMO it means "ScreenProtectorAntiGlare-HTC-MYTouch4G-SLide" - yet it is wrong one they've shipped, gee

Tried to get a good look at my wife's MT4G (non-slide) and it is hard to tell with some ugly decal thing she has on it, BUT I will say, if you lined it up at the bottom correctly, it looks way too short. It probably is for the MT4G. I am pretty sure, because when I use her protectors as an emergency, I have to trim them all the way around to fit my MT4GS. Apparently the slide is a bit smaller than the non.
How many came in your order? I have to order like 12 at a time because I always screw up about 4 of them before I get one on with no dust dots under it

I order only set of 2 (just to try - never had anti-glares before), but I think this seller has packs of 10 as well (same price tho).
If you want I can take more pics to show you, but yeah I have aligned it at the bottom perfectly, so that's exactly how it comes out on top.
Mind you: this *is* Slide what I have, and the screen protector is slightly narrower (about 1mm on each side) and too short by about 4mm (not to mention the "cut-outs" are wrong) so if this screen protector is for the "non-Slide" MT4G version then the "non-slide" has to be smaller than "slide", not the other way around.
Quality is very good because same as you I usually get the "bubble" somewhere and waste at least 1 protector before it is perfect, but this one seems thicker than the "glare one" and it attached itself almost perfectly right away, I only had to push it tighter at one corner. The cuts are well made, not sharp edges like it was in some other screen protectors but feels kinda polished. Actually I should say the quality is excellent, reminds me of the first Mitsubishi s.p. for laptop screen I bought years ago in Japan. If only it was the right size...
here is the website if you want wholesale quantity (I don't know does 1 dozen qualifies but you can try):

==============================
MY CONCLUSION
(after a week+ with this screen protector)
With standard "shiny" s.p. (or without any s.p.) you can NOT see the screen outdoors in the sun.
Here is a picture of my MT4GS' screen with "antiglare" s.p. in very bright sun:
Until I have received this anti-glare s.p. I was skeptical (read the thread if you're curious) but once I have use it I love it so much that in the future I will never buy any other type of s.p.!
The screen is now not only readable in the direct sunlight, but exactly as guys above said so:
due to it's texture it is somewhat smudge-hiding
(edit: NO it is not really "smudgeless", if you look at certain angle and light you will see the finger smudges, but even then they're not as bad as on any other type of s.p.)
The only drawback are the colors: at first (when you apply this s.p.) it feels dull and washed a bit - not much, but you can see the difference. However, after very short time I get used to it and feels normal now.
Anyone looking for s.p. replacement should go with an antiglare type.
The benefits (ability to see screen under any conditions and it's "smudge-concealment") greatly outweight the cons (somewhat less-vibrant colors)

(original post below)
Please share your experience with "antiglare" screen protectors if you have or had used one and help me make my mind?
I have a cheap standard/glossy $1 screen protector for now, but since our phones have screens basically unreadable in the sun I think the kind of s.p. matters more than in other phones case
I had one of the first "mirror" screen protectors few years back, and it was horrible. It made the screen appear slightly distorted. Has this been improved by now?

They weren't as of about 3 months ago. Suuuuuuuucked. Might as well be putting car window tinting on it.
Hmm... so does anyone have a suggestion for a nice anti-glare screen protector that will fit the phone nicely?
I just got the cheapest matte 6 pack or whatever on eBay from "Top Sellers" in N America.

Completely agree with the conclusion. Got 3 from Amazon for about $2.49 at the time.
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Anti-G...=mytouch+4g+slide+anti-glare+screen+protector
Random brand called "Empire". Despite the one review. IT's a solid screen protector. Technically all Anti-Glare's have a "matte" kind of feel to it. The feeling and the look of the screen would probably be the most attractive part of Anti-Glares. However yes there is the sacrifice of losing slight visual quality.
Thanks, I'll give those Empire anti-glares a shot
Edit: nvm, shipping to Canada is STEEP on those guys. I'll keep a lookout for other anti-glares. Thanks for the suggestion, though

I bought a set of these 3 for 2.49 from the link above, and am VERY PLEASED. Quick shipping by seller, and they fit perfect with appropriate cutouts for sensors etc up near the top. Good deal!! :good:

I bought the Skinomi Skintech from Amazon (about $10 shipped) and it shipped today. Hoping to get it on Monday so that I can put it on my Note Edge when it arrives on Monday as well. According to Skinomi, their screen protector will be covering the whole front screen of the Edge.

Your right it doesnt say. I email the seller and he said it should fit 99% edge to edge since no protector can cover 100%
Also doing a 1:1of the picture and the old protectors i return it is wider and looks like it will fit.
They should be here by friday so i will know then. I dont like the other protectors since they feel all gummy and there arent any glass ones out.

Thanks. I have done some search.on the brand you use for other phone. Some review said this protector is very difficult to install, need spray and at least one hour careful work to put it on. And need time for bubble to go away. And it is not as clear as normal HD protector. I am not sure how is yours,maybe the one you get for edge is normal material and normal install?

YES you do need time for the bubble to go away. The instructions recommend not using the phone for 4 to 5 hours which i did. The protector
needs time to adhere to the glass.
To me it looks as clear as any normal HD protector I have ever used.

I guess for edge screen, non of any normal material protector can work good. Only the that kind of material you bought need water to install and very thing can stick and stay.

Ordered 2 different protectors and they were garbage. Didn't cover entire screen so I asked my cousin in Japan to identify the protector in the video and he found them. He ordered me some and should be here at my door soon.
Right, first of all, I had been waiting for a UK supplier of this product for aaaaages!
Finally MobileFun started stocking it.
As everyone knows, tempered glass protectors are for the most part, a problem for the Note 4 due to the curved edges.
I had been using one that just cover the viewing area, which looked hideous IMO.
So when I first saw iVisor and it's total, no halo coverage, I knew I needed to try it out, despite the high price of £30! (yeah, I thought I was crazy too)
In terms of packaging, there's not much to report, it's... A box [emoji23]

}
In the box you get a cloth and suction cup to help with the installation, but I've installed so many glass protectors I didn't find it necessary to use the cup.
As you can see, this thing covers the "whole" front of the screen.
Installation of the iVisor was, in my opinion, the easiest of all the protectors I've installed.
Having the coloured edge, allows you to line everything up far easier, than a totally transparent one.
After installation and now it's been on a couple of days, I can give informed verdict on this protector.... And that verdict is, it's nothing short of amazing!
Despite the high price, in my opinion it is well worth the money, not only is it one of the thinest glass protectors I've ever come across, the clarity is phenomenal! Not to mention, the feel of thing is just like the naked glass.
I thought the ones I used in the past were good, obviously better than the PTE type, but this is a next level up.
Not forgetting THE reason I got this in the first place, which is a halo free viewing experience, which this delivers impeccably.
Yes, it is expensive, but if you're after a tempered glass protector, this has got to be the best one for the Note 4. Definitely a 10/10 from me, and if you can stomach the cost, the only one to get.
Nice thanks for sharing, is it because it has a dark border that the halo effect cannot be seen?
I'm using it as well and agree it is hands down the best one for this phone.
I disagree. Don't like the holes on the glass. Much prefer the Arcadia glass.

It's all peaches & cream until the thin adhesive sides pop loose and tons of junk end up under the screen. Also a lot of cases will cause this protector to bow up in the middle and the screen will become unresponsive as there is no adhesive under the actual display area. Been there, done that.
Anyhow, nice review and good luck with the Moshi.

I think it depends on the case, I'm using using Spigen Neo hybrid and I think it's a case of it being a mixture of luck and the way it's made, that I've managed to get it that spot on, that the case doesn't touch it, or at the very least is flush.

I think that does play a part, but I don't think it's totally because of that, because I've had others that halo way before the edge of the actual display, let alone the edge of the phone.

They're not holes, as in "holes", they're sections that don't have the coloured border to let the button LEDs shine through.
Trouble is getting hold of others, I tried getting all sorts but found it surprisingly difficult getting anyone to ship to the UK, including the suppliers themselves.

Can i clean the moshi glass?
Looks like it will be the same price as the BodyGuardz Crown (coming the end of April for Note 4). Both look like they offer great protection. Because of the aluminum bezel, the Crown will have zero lift around the edges. Is there any lift at all with the iVisor? I think that would be a deal breaker if it does.

You mean the adhesive side? Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it, why would you want to remove it unless it cracked of course, but then you'd replace it?
I have a similar one arriving today. It's a Cailifu and is sold on Amazon. I will let you guys know how it looks and holds up. Here's the link to check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXP38BA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have been using the Cailifu glass protector for about a day now. Overall, i think it's a winner. The only negative thing I could find is, it's a smudge and fingerprint magnet. Not sure it it's the material used or some kind of coating, but I have to clean the screen far more frequently than normal. The screen coverage is perfect with no gaps or lifting around the edges. For the price (75% less than the iVisor), it's a go.
BTW, the "windows" for the capacitive buttons are square. The iVisor has round windows. The square windows give it a more stock look than the round ones. Hope this comparison helps.

Having used this for a few weeks now, would you still recommend the Moshi? I've read some comments online about their iPhone protectors having an 'oil slick' effect in the centre of the screen and a 'dot pattern' that permanently marked the screen - have you noticed anything like this? I didn't see any such problems evident in your photo.
Also be very interested to know how S-Pen usage is with this. Does the S-Pen still operate the back button OK?

No problems whatsoever, very happy with it and well worth the money IMHO.
So, with fantastic support from folks like @intelliARMOR here on XDA, perhaps we can get them to start looking at Tempered Glass Screen Protectors (TGSP's) for the REAR glass on the Nexus 6P.
I'll get some emails out to Skinomi and others to see if they would be interested in making one, while gorilla glass 4 is great and all, I'm sure some of the rest of you are as concerned as I am about the back glass, if not more so (always setting it down on the back).
Anyone else seen anything? I can get a list going of who's been contacted and replies, just give me a link and a name, or let me know you contacted them and their reply when they do.
@intelliARMOR - Responded here - in the works!.

Of course I'm referring to the only piece of gorilla glass on the rear. LOL
Glad to see others are interested. Should be easy, and cheap. I don't even think they'd need to make holes, do they? if so, just the one for the camera, one for the flash, and one for the auto focus, if not one for both of the latter together.

Holes would be required for those. The protectors would refract the laser, focus, camera
Figures, still, it would be much more protected with the holes cut out than nothing.
Hopefully someone takes this up.

Did that really need to be explained?
I'd buy a combo pack (front + rear) over just a front glass protector.
Most cases (dare I even say all) won't support a TGS on there. And if you don't use a case then I don't quite see the point of protecting that part but not the back... unless you're just interested in protecting it from scratches using a skin or something... or it could just be me.... lol
Elnrik said:

yeah of course it did. it's a very odd request. as mentioned, it would cause issues with the camera, and the area's so small that i'd doubt there would ever be a market for such an item. i've never actually seen a request for tempered glass protection for a 40mm strip of glass. secondly, as there are other devices which in fact do have proper glass backs, i thought maybe he was confused. so yes, it really did need to be explained, and, given the explanation, i'm still not certain he understands the ramifications of what he's asking for. it would with 100% certainty detract from the usability of the device. if you're that concerned about it, get a nice bumper case and be done with it. anyway, good luck to you op with your quest
The edges of the "visor" also curve back toward the front of the phone, don't they? So it'll be annoying just like the 2.5D TGSP on iPhones and stuff...
This is a little anal retentive. The only reason to protect the back glass is to keep the camera, flash and laser emitter free of scratches, but you don't want to cover them for performance reasons. The rest is for sensors and even if the glass got scratched it wouldn't affect them.
Also, if you look at the design, it appears that even laying flat on a surface, the glass does not contact the surface. I don't have an actual 6P to check though.

yeah of course it did. it's a very odd request. as mentioned, it would cause issues with the camera, and the area's so small that i'd doubt there would ever be a market for such an item. i've never actually seen a request for tempered glass protection for a 40mm strip of glass. secondly, as there are other devices which in fact do have proper glass backs, i thought maybe he was confused. so yes, it really did need to be explained, and, given the explanation, i'm still not certain he understands the ramifications of what he's asking for. it would with 100% certainty detract from the usability of the device. if you're that concerned about it, get a nice bumper case and be done with it. anyway, good luck to you op with your quest

Eh, I know I wasn't trying to be an ass. You know I wasn't. Hard to convince the internet of it after it's out there though. That and having re-read it, yeah... I was kind of being an ass.

I'd buy a combo pack (front + rear) over just a front glass protector.

Most cases (dare I even say all) won't support a TGS on there. And if you don't use a case then I don't quite see the point of protecting that part but not the back... unless you're just interested in protecting it from scratches using a skin or something... or it could just be me.... lol

If you don't see the point, it wouldn't be for you then. I do see the point, I drop my phones occasionally, I'd rather have it protected as much as possible than not. A thin TGSP on the back would we fine for me, don't need a super thick one. I use cases, good ones, I just would like the option.
Someone else somewhere mentioned how skins should be made for it, and that's what gave me this idea. Either or even better, both options would be nice to have.

Not too odd obviously, others are interested in it. If there is a camera cut out then there's no issues with the camera.
He completely understands the ramifications of what he asked for... that's why he asked. Not that I want the answer, but I don't see how this could 100% detract from the usability of the device. Or even 1% for that matter.
A bumper case? Yeah, that's super protective. I've already got 2 cases waiting and a few more coming. I know there are folks that like to go naked, with just a screen protector, and I know there are others that are going to get the cases with no coverage of the back glass. If it's not for you then fine, it's not for you, but others having the option to get one don't affect your option to NOT.

The edges of the "visor" also curve back toward the front of the phone, don't they? So it'll be annoying just like the 2.5D TGSP on iPhones and stuff...

No idea, phone doesn't arrive till the 10th-12th.

This is a little anal retentive. The only reason to protect the back glass is to keep the camera, flash and laser emitter free of scratches, but you don't want to cover them for performance reasons. The rest is for sensors and even if the glass got scratched it wouldn't affect them.
Also, if you look at the design, it appears that even laying flat on a surface, the glass does not contact the surface. I don't have an actual 6P to check though.

No, the only reason to protect the back glass would be to...
Wait for it...
Wait...
Protect the back glass.
Protect it from shatters from falling on the ground, protect it from scratches and scrapes when doing the things you do with phones (taking pictures of your car engine while you work on it, taking pictures of the roof damage from the hailstorm).
I for one like a 100% device when I go to sell them when it is time to move on. My LG G3 is absolutely mint.
Call it anal, thats fine with me.
So great folks, if you aren't interested in one, this thread would not be for you.
:highfive:

So, with fantastic support from folks like @intelliARMOR here on XDA, perhaps we can get them to start looking at Tempered Glass Screen Protectors (TGSP's) for the REAR glass on the Nexus 6P.
I'll get some emails out to Skinomi and others to see if they would be interested in making one, while gorilla glass 4 is great and all, I'm sure some of the rest of you are as concerned as I am about the back glass, if not more so (always setting it down on the back).
Anyone else seen anything? I can get a list going of who's been contacted and replies, just give me a link and a name, or let me know you contacted them and their reply when they do.
@intelliARMOR - Tagged in thread.
Skinomi - Contacted, awaiting reply.

Yes, this is something we can definitely do. We'll get going on it and thanks for the feedback!
