Glass screen protector affecting proximity sensor - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

Hi,
I ordered a nilkin glass protector and everything seemed good, but i started experiencing a problem with the proximity sensor. With the glass protector on it would always detect it as being covered, so when i started a call the screen would turn off and wouldn't turn on when i backed away from the ear and i had to press the home button and the end the call.
I entered in the test menu(#*0*#) and the results confirmed that the sensor always "thought" that it was covered. I ended up removing it but i would like to add the extra protection to the glass.
The glass protector is a full front(except a bit on the speaker) glass protector, similar to the one from zagg, but i don't see many people reporting this issue, with any brand( even reviews from the nilkin glass).
Could it be an issue with the screen protector itself or a problem with the sensor?
Is there a workaround for it?
Thanks!

Tried that test with a generic glass screen protector and the prox sensor worked OK.

I don't have a generic film screen protector to test =/ I had the one that came with the phone for a while and it worked fine but that one had a big cutout for the sensors and this one didn't. I'm thinking I got a defective one with the cutout not big enough because from pictures on the website it did had a bigger cutout for the sensors.
I contacted the seller and he is sending me a new one, let's see.
I just didn't think that having that thin glass in front of it would make that much difference, especially since it's transparent and I thought the proximity sensor measured light and that wouldn't make a difference

This is not a normal problem, but yes one that does exist. I haven't handled many personally, the reps in the front just swap them out. I do believe there was one instance where we put multiple ones on the same phone and it kept having issues. No issue without the glass, put the glass on, sensor didn't work.

I guess the actual sensor can't be covered, even if its a layer of thin transparent glass and needs those cutouts free. I only recently realized that(my previous s3 isn't that picky, it has a a thick glass protector on it now and the sensor still works well) but the seller sent me a new one and im hopping the one i got first just had some kind of production problem with the wrong cutouts because from the photos i have seen online from the product (its a nilkin amazing h+ btw) it shows the cutouts on that area and i really need a screen protector.

[q] tempered glass query

I have just recieved this item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111343716...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649.
This is the first time that i've used a glasS screen protector and i have noticed that there's no cut out for the front facing camera.
IS THIS OKAY? I contacted the seller and his reply was 'the glass is transparent so it doesn't need a cutout'?!
I'VE PUT A COUPLE OF PICS UP. Any advice is greatly appreciated
The glass is transparent. It doesn't need to be cut out.
What are you going to do if we say it will affect the crappy front camera a little? Are you going to return it?

it 'sok..
i'm using a spigen tempered glass on mine, it doesn't have a cut out for the cam, just the earpiece (prefer this, it makes the tempered glass MORESO transparent) .. & the front facing camera snaps as normal..
i got the MIME feather and it doesnt have a cutout for camera
it did have one for earpiece...
BUT problems started there... around that cutout little pieces chipped...
now around the glass, some chips have come off, cracks are now running around the phone...
for 3 months of regular use, and never being dropped in any way, i find it very poor quality
what i am getting to is.. if a good glass screen protector suffered this much damage, expect the no brand to also do it
No cutout for the camera on my glass protector either. No problems using the camera at all - you'll be fine.
I have the mime ghost, and the only cutoff whatsoever is the speaker. Zero issues.

Nexus 6P Plastic Screen protector with proximity cut outs

Can somebody point out a plastic (wet application) screen protector that is confirmed to have a proximity sensor cutout?
I have looked at amazon and while some of the product photos do show the cut out but people are still complaining about it being absent on the actual product.
I bought a supershieldz TGSP and one it was missing the cutouts and two it didn't fit my phone due to dent on the screen. So I ordered IQ shield wet application SP since it showed cutouts in product photos but after when I received it, it was also missing the cutouts.
any help is appreciated.
Here Skinomi has confirmed it has proximity cut-outs and design has been updated as of lately so give it a go:

The Ringke screen protector I received with their fusion case came with the proximity sensor cutouts.
Seconding the Skinomi. I have it on my 6p and it's working great.
I have a plastic (dry application) screen protector with no proximity sensor cutout and I have no issues.
I thought the non glass screen protectors did not need the cutout

Spigen Crystal Film is the best plastic one you will find and yes it has the proper cutouts. I always keep them as a backup in case i break my TGSP or decide to remove it because dirt gets under it. I've used the Spigen plastic ones for a while on my Nexus 6 because no TGSP would fit for the first 6months i had it.
I can confirm the Skinomi® TechSkin - Huawei Nexus 6P Screen Protector does have the cutout. I received a revised version in the mail right after my first one shipped. I am using the original one without the cutout and it works just fine. I think people that were *****ing are clueless or were using the glass protectors. I've had a Skinomi on my Nexus 5 for 2 years and the proximity sensors were covered on it and I never once had a problem.
I have a Mr Shields film without cut out. -Screen goes blank.
They are sending revision.

How did you get Mr Shield to send you replacements? While mine works, I don't like the big camera cutout. It looks like the revised version has a circular camera cutout.

Application was perfect & no holes were covered.

I've used them before and waiting in the mail for the 6p
Definitely the best wet screen protectors and really good price as well, strongly recommend u check them out

Edit: they're actually on sale, u won't be disappointed, I'm going to be posting pictures once I receive mine

X2 on this!
I don't even mess with TGSP's anymore simply because of the added cost and the Spigen Crystal Film is so good. Plus the Spigen Crystal Film comes three in a pack. If you mess one up you have spares on hand. I can't tell any difference between the Spigen Crystal Film and glass on the phone!
haven't used a screen protector in years. Does the lack of a cutout for the front facing camera on the Spigen screen protector affect the camera at all?
anyone know if a screen protector fitting only the touchscreen portion? im using a skin (slickwrap) and dont want to apply a protector over the skin... yet. much rather have just one layer instead of a double layer here and single layer there.

The screen is supposed to go black when you put the phone up to your face and come on when you remove the phone from your face. Are you saying that your screen goes black instantly when not even next to your face?

Yep. That's exactly the case. I get a brief moment to answer or make the calls but once connected, screen goes black.
Seems this has been an issue with the N6 also since Marshmallow was introduced.

Interesting. I noticed that Spigen also modified the Nexus 5 screen protector on the replacement I just received and it has a cutout for the proximity sensor now too. I wonder if there are slight differences in the sensitivity of them causing issues for some but not others? Your screen isn't scuffed up where the proximity sensors are is it?

Your guess is as good as mine.
My 1 week old N6P isn't scuffed up at all.
I have a Skinomi Non Proximity cutout protector - which I ordered on 11/02 but they have since redesigned a cutout newer version.
That said, it's still gnaws at me that the N6 guys have the same issue & this just started getting louder after M6.0 was released.
I do like the non-cutout protectors better & have never had this issue prior with any other phone.
But if it's hardware or software related - either way wish Google would issue a guidance.

IMAK Glass screen protector

I just received my IMAK glass screen protector. Purchased this on AliExpress. Here are some photos of it and how I installed it. I used the 3 stickers to make a hinge after it's positioned correctly. That way I just have to remove the backing and then stick it. I'll just seperate my review into pros and cons.
Pros:
-The screen protector fits nicely. I chose this one because it has the little speaker cut out on top.
-It feels good because it is glass.
-It protects the screen well because it is glass.
Cons:
-It is glass so it has some thickness to it.
-Holds fingerprints more than screen itself
-It has a little orange peel so it's not crystal clear. You can see in the picture of the reflection of the light that it looks a little muddy instead of mirror like.
Overall, it's good for the price, but not perfect. Personally I'm back and forth between glass and film screen protectors. I'll give this a try for a few weeks and then make a final decision.

Those guiding stickers are ingenious, never seen them before and the idea is just so simple and clever!!
Perfect, I know what I have to do when my phone and Nillkin protector arrive.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a lot nicer than the Riffue Tempered Glass screen protector I bought on Amazon. This one is thin and has a good height but is several mm too narrow, it doesn't even cover the LCD display let alone the entire screen/glass.
the one i order covers like half of the screen lmao wtf
just ordered one like yours.
I had one similar too this, but the dust collected over front camera under the glass.
It has some glue on it, does this IMAK one used static?
Here is a link to the one i bought.
I tried many different ones but for me this is the best.
The coating is very good against fingerprints. It fits perfect on the screen.
The sides of the screen are a little bit curved down which is good for the dust.

I agree, this is the best screenprotector i have ever bought. It fits perfect and the coating feels the same as on the original screen :good::good:
Just wanted to echo everyone else about how great the Imak full coverage screen protector is. I went through four different screen protectors so far (unknown brand thin plastic one, MOFI tempered glass, another MOFI tempered glass, and finally the IMAK full coverage)
The thin plastic one came bundled with the phone and would scratch if you so much as raised your voice at it. Placed it on just as a temporary protector while waiting for the others to come from Aliexpress. It just barely covered the display and left about 1.5mm of space on the edges. The phone was accidentally smacked out of my hand once and landed on a sandy floor face down, which I later discovered upon removal of the screen protector had caused a small chip on the screen near the edge, so the protector might have absorbed some of the impact.
The first MOFI tempered glass I got was a "full coverage" one, but it arrived with notches cut out on the bottom where the proximity sensor and front camera are. The worst thing about this one was that it only had adhesive on the edges, so there was a really distracting and noticeable rainbow effect (newton rings) in the middle of the screen.
The second MOFI tempered glass was also full coverage, and this time it didn't have notches at the bottom, just a hole cutout where the proximity sensor is located. The adhesive type was the same as the previous one, edge only, resulting in the newton ring effect. It also mysteriously cracked for no reason.
The one I have on currently is the IMAK full coverage screen protector. Indisputably the best out of all of them, the protector fits exactly over the entire front glass, and instead of cutout holes at the bottom, the chin at the bottom is fully glass, blackened except for where the proximity sensor and front camera are. Full adhesive all throughout means there is no rainbow effect, and the LED notification light is even tinted slightly so that it blends in with the chin, and is invisible until it turns on! The only flaw about this screen protector (yes, there is one) is that the area underneath the front camera is too thin to apply adhesive, so as a result there's a tiny gap between the glass and phone that can let in dust after a while. The dust does not seem to affect the front camera, and I never take selfies anyway, but I have yet to figure out a good way to get the dust out of there.
I have never had a screen protector fit this perfectly, even for phones other than the Mi Mix 2. Most other screen protectors have cutouts for the proximity sensor/front camera/both, but this one blends in so well that it feels like it's not even there.
Does anyone know if this protector has a dot matrix on the screen (tiny dots that reflect)? I purchased a Misha 3D protector from Amazon which looks identical to this, and it's great except for the grid of dots across the screen.

When I tried it there were no dots, just very reflective and had a weird smudge pattern going on which ruined it.
The flossmall one posted elsewhere is so much better.
Lol those kind of screen protectors damn sucks, they are not full glue, so that make lot of reflections. The nillkin (regular tempered glass, full glue, no black borders), is perfect and cover all the display... So why buy this imak piece of ****?

After putting the screen protector on, I take a toothpick and put some glue from a Pritt-stick in the little gap underneath the camera. Not much, just enough to close the gap. When it has dried you can color it with a black whiteboard marker if you want. When you remove the screen protector you can easily rub it off. Works great for me :good:
Thanks!

Screen protector?

Has anyone purchased a tempered glass screen protector for this phone that they like?
Most of the ones I have looked at on amazon have complaints that they interfere with the fingerprint scanner or they have great reviews but aren't even available for another month. LOL.

I m using trink(unbreakable ) bought from shop
I've always gone for a matte protector in the past but there were none on the market and I found myself enjoying the clarity of an unadulterated screen. So I decided to go for tempered glass and bought these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B073T91BR7
Got two in a pack. Wasn't happy with the application of the first one I put on, so pulled it off and used the second one which I am 99% happy with. Small bubble on one extreme edge which really isn't a problem other than it triggers my OCD. In terms of the protector itself, it's a nice feel tempered glass affair and feels no different to the glass of the original screen. My one criticism is that it is slightly smaller than I think it needs to be. It covers the screen area - just. The cut outs at the top are odd (unless there's a sensor next to the front camera that I don't know about. Personally think they'd have been better off not bothering with the top cutouts and just making it a straight line underneath the earpiece. The cutout for the fingerprint sensor fits well. It actually adds height to the well in which the sensor fits, so it kind of guides your finger to the right location. I use the swipe navigation so I suppose time will tell whether it gets in the way on that front.
A 7 out of 10 for me.
I just installed iVoler on my wife's phone.
(https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B074MPC2G2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_vCJqUdNtCwZGC).
The top cutouts are weird... I messed up my first tgsp trying to align the flash cutout. Gratefully it was a 2-pack.
Managed to install it without any bubble and almost centered. She doesn't do selfies, so the front-facing flash is not important, and it still works well, it's just inelegant imo (cf. pictures)
Other than that it's a fingerprint magnet, it does not adhere well on the sides and on the top left corner, but it does the job ok for now.
I'll see if someone finds a better one and probably change it.
I don't recommend it

Replying to myself here, but downgrading to a 2 out of 10. A few days in and I have a ding in the protector slap bang in the middle of the screen. Someone less OCD than I would probably put up with it but I don't think I can. My eyes keep getting drawn to it.
I have not tried any tempered glass protectors, but I did install these on both my and my wife's phone. It's pretty good, especially the clarity, it's somewhat okay in resisting fingerprints, but when the screen is on, it's hard to notice any fingerprint smudges. If you can't find a tempered glass protector you like, these will do nicely.

They're awful, tempered glasses don't go over to the edges because the screen is slightly curved, plus they get super sweaty, reflective and gross in general. Took off mine, won't recommend.

Wow, that one looks like it wasn't even made for your phone, the size is too small and the cutout is wrong - surely any model sold specifically for "G5S Plus" should be a better fit?
I bought the same one linked in the 3rd post, but I have NOT put it on yet. The biggest complaint people have with it is "does not go to the edge" . It is not supposed to!
I have the Spigen case with carbon fiber texture inserts. It wraps around the top edges of the g5s+. So a full front protector would either not let the case fit properly AND / OR would push up the edges of the screen protector.

Anyone using tempered glass screen protector?

can anyone suggest a tempered glass screen protector that works good and does not interfere with the fingerprint sensor? I purchased one and although it does fit perfectly and works well, the screen protector is thick enough that it interferes with the fingerprint sensor, it basically is too thick and when touching the sensor it only reads a partial fingerprint unless I press on it really hard to squish my finger in there.... anyone using one that is thinner or maybe the hole for the sensor is larger and not having this issue?
you got to change the temperglass

i had that issue so i replace with one which doesn't obstruct my finger print sensor. only drawback is that the temper glass will not provide full protected coverage like the one you have.
The Ringke Invisible Shield is what I am using. No issues with the fingerprint sensor. Have used Ringke products before and not had any issues.
I got an AVODA branded one free with my G6, from B&H Photo/Video. Haven't used it yet. I'm still rocking the plastic one that comes with the phone, the piece that has a white tab at the lower left corner. Once that looks heavily scratched to me, or is just about ready to pop off from another trip to a pants pocket, I'll put on the tempered glass protector.
Installed this a few days ago:
SPARIN Moto G6 Screen Protector, [NOT for G6 Play & G6 Plus] Tempered Glass [Leeway for Case] [Full Coverage] [Bubble Free] Screen Protector for Moto G6- Black
happy with it so far, although thumb taps do sound noticeably, at least at first, louder than the Nilkin tempered glass I used on my G4.
I've had this protector on for 3 months. I'm very pleased with it. It doesn't interfere with the case or the fingerprint sensor. The cutout is precise around the earpiece, camera and sensors. I would recommend this protector.
[4 Pack] MOTO G6 Screen Protector, SPARIN Tempered Glass Screen Protector for MOTO G6, Covers Viewable display Only with Anti-Scratch/Response Quickly/Easy Installation/Bubble Free, 5.7 inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079C9J2GG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_P770BbN75BHD9
I use Supershieldz
It doesn't have any space on both sides; however, you must install exactly on the center or the viewing areas are not fully covered.
So far I am satisfied though it has very little touch degradation.

I got an AVODA branded one free with my G6, from B&H Photo/Video. Haven't used it yet. I'm still rocking the plastic one that comes with the phone, the piece that has a white tab at the lower left corner. Once that looks heavily scratched to me, or is just about ready to pop off from another trip to a pants pocket, I'll put on the tempered glass protector.

same here, I debated ordering up a tempered glass plate, but decided to wait and see how the film does first. I've had good luck with SuperShieldz brand. I have a film-type protector on my S7, which is basically bulletproof as far as scratches and dings, but I don't care for the faintly rubbery-texture it gives to the screen.
