So, i have an LG G PAD X 10.1 tablet that i bought some time ago.
I noticed that some kind of "glue" spots started appearing on the side of the screen, i will attach the photos on the post.
I have a tempered glass protector on top of the screen, but this glue spots are not from the tempered glass, as i took it out and saw that this spots are still there. Then i put the tempered glass protector again on the screen.
Do you know what would be the cause of this? Maybe the tempered glass protector making too much pressure on the screen?
Is there any way to fix this? The spots dont affect the functioning of the screen, but they are not too kind to see on the edge of the screen.

Your glass and your LCD screen are getting separated.
A repair shop can replace the glass and get rid of that.
It might even be water damage, it's kinda hard to tell by your pics.

You can also try using a blow dryer to heat it up and rub it with your fingers, try different heat settings with the blow dryer, don't want to get it to hot, just warm enough to make it tacky again so it sticks to the glass again. It might work, it might not, its worth trying at least.

Thank you! I will try with the blow dryer then. It isnt water, not even a water drop touched the screen since i got the tablet.

Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody has had luck removing bubbles from the glas t slim screen protector on the S4. I don''t think they are air bubbles. It looks like I have something under the screen protector. The odd thing is that this part of the phone didn't have any lint, and i used scotch tape to make sure. Now I was under the impression that the screen protector shouldn't come off.. Would it be okay to take a little bit of it off and try to remove the bubble, or will that mess up the adhesive? Keep in mind i just put it on today so it could resolve over a couple days. I don't have a pic of the exact bubble, but here is what it looks like, but smaller:

Those look like spider cracks under the glass not sure what happened if u removed it to get it out mite not stick back on the glass screen protectors r tricky to reapply

I had a similar smudge. If you search the web you will find lot's of comments like above that they don't recommend removing the glass, as it may not stick when reapplying. But I took mine off last night, washed it under the sink, and then reapplied. The dirt is gone (the smudge), and seems to stick just fine.
If you use your finger nail under a corner, the screen will start to come off. Work it real slowly, and it will come off very easily. As for the cleaning, I never touched the sticky side of the protector. I just ran it under as much pressure as I could get out of my faucet and the dirt was washed away. I shook the protector (holding it by the edges) to get most of the water droplets off, then worked the rest of them out once the protector was back on the phone.
The screen is perfectly clean now. It takes a bit of time to work out all the bubbles (both air and water), but keep working them towards a side or corner and they will all come out.
^ hes right. When I had the glas t, I took it off too many times and just washed it. Lol. It will stick as long as you take it off without chipping the edge.

I was able to get the bubbles out! I applied pressure onto the areas surrounding the bubble to kind of readjust the adhesive. Took a while but worked out

Hey guys, just a general question about tempered glass protectors, is it generally okay to keep a slightly cracked tempered glass protector on a device? There are layers above and below the actual glass correct?
In the picture is a Zerolemon Tempered Glass protector on my tablet, however I also have tempered glass on my nexus 5, so I'd like to know for possible future reference. Thanks!

I'm just slightly concerned about the slightly cracked protector coming in contact with the actual screen. I checked the other side and the bottom layer where the adhesive is and it seems normal and not damaged, same with the top most layer.

It could scratch if it was loose and rubbing up against the screen, but I can't see any other issues myself. That said, I'm hardly an authority on this
i had a MIME tempered glass screen protector that cracked from the ear piece hole... used it for months, the cracks grew bigger, eventually i got a new one from them. when i removed it, it was perfect underneath
The new one i have also cracked it from a small drop, and i am sure it will be fine underneath

had this spigen tempered glass on mine since I 1st got it;
it's developed cracks all along the upper part, but I believe the screen is ok.. I'm not taking it off any time soon..
Okay here goes.... This is my first ever review on........anywhere for anything...
Before I begin, let me say that I don't like to spend a lot of money when it comes to cases or any other protection for my phones....I have 1 transparent TPU case for my phone... 1 tempered glass... and just recently I ordered a DBrand Skin for the back of my phone...
I initially bought the phone when it was launched, the phone came with an original screen protector (center only, not edge to edge) stuck on it, but I'm not a very big fan of screen protectors. Despite my itchy fingers wanting to remove it I let it be, and in the meanwhile, I had ordered a curved tempered glass from Ali Express. Thinking to myself that no way this will be curved and it will be like how most of the tempered glass are for curved screens but I still decided to waste my on it...
Incidentally a couple of days prior to the delivery I had to return the device for replacements so I kept it aside once delivered. A couple of days back I got my "safe" Note7 and the original screen protector was not stuck properly, there was dust particle bubbles and it was not in the center. So I thought I would finally get a chance to "unbox" the curved tempered glass (if there was such a thing). And to my amazement it was CURVED!
This is what the box looks like....

As you can see the tempered glass covers almost 98% of the screen which with my case makes it almost seamless protection. The home button hides away insides due to the thickness of the glass.
The cut outs for the camera, speakers, iris scanner and the home button is exact so there has to be no room for error. Also, something that I didn't like, the adhesive is only in the center of the tempered glass so the edges and curves look like they are peeling off but that's how it is...
Now I have been using the tempered glass for a couple of days now. And I have realized that the screens sensitivity has gone for a toss especially with the keyboard. I don't know why but I haven't notice the sensitivity issues when playing games but while using the stylus and the keyboard it is greatly affected. At first I thought it might be Samsung's default keyboard so I installed Google Keyboard and the issues still persisted. SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED....
Overall, I am surprised that it is a curved screen but I am going to remove it because of the sensitivity issues.
Is there any "rainbow effect" when you press screen?

No there isn't.... but i removed it and the adhesive is only on the edges and not on the complete glass as I previously thought it would be.
@ mods... please merge this thread with >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/accessories/hunt-adhesive-tempered-glass-protector-t3449697
ALL screens without adhesive will have a loss of touch sensitivity. There is a layer of air in between the glass and the screen. With nothing between your touch and the screen, of course your touches will not be registered unless you press hard on it. Worse yet, the glass is touching some parts of the screen (rainbow effect) and messing up touch accuracy
There is no solution for this right now except for some non-full coverage glass protectors, but they look so awful. I have been using it without a protector for about 2 weeks now. I treat my phone with utmost care and only put it in my pocket and nothing else goes in this pocket. There is a very faint scratch on it. It requires very accurate lighting and concentration to look for it but it's there. It is probably not a scratch on the glass but the oleophobic coating, but a scratch is a scratch. But I just can't bring myself to use these subpar screen protectors that lowers the screen quality so much
After trying and regretting 2 glass supposedly full coverage protectors, I ended with Samsung's original film protector. It certainly does not sacrifice touch sensitivity, and is the closest to bare glass I've found.

I ordered a zizo screen protector. I am posting here to inform the consumers of what they are doing.
First,the screen protector claims no bubbles. It is fastened to the screen with black tape that goes around the border of the glass screen protector. The glass DOES NOT fasten to the phone glass. The center of the glass protector does touch the phones glass creating a bubble effect.
I emailed them and they know of this issue and still selling them. That is deceptive trade practices.
Again, I am just trying to warn people. Here is a screenshot of the email of them admitting of this issue and not warning people.

Here is my screen. Clearly you can see the effect. You can see it on a white screen.
BUY THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK They also think the android community are fools. Their reason is that full glass screen protectors are thinner and that's the reason for this. Remember there is a black tape around the boarder of the glass that holds it away from the phones glass.

I just got mine for my daughter's v20 and absolutely no issues. I believe the oil rainbow look is because the screen was not throughly cleaned before the screen protector was applied

I hope that's the case and it works out for your daughter but give us an update in a few days if the rainbow look doesn't come. Looks clean though

Them Grid Dots
This effect is where the two pieces of glass are touching. In the email the admit that the only place adhesive is at is around the edge. That black tape is what holds the protector on. Look at amazon. 29% are 1 star reviews with plenty of photoes.
My point is in the email they admit to knowing about this issue and are not telling consumers. They even go on to say "there is no way around it"
I do not like being cheated or lied to. Zizo is actually being very deceptive. If some work out good. But once the glass is pushed on it will start to have this effect.
I would not have bought one if I had been warned. Now with the email I posted proves they know and knew a out this design flaw and are not telling consumers. I do not trust companies that do this type of buisiness. I am just warning others to be aware before buying.
It is a problem. Here is amazons review.

thats happened to me with other protectors, not just a zizo thing, you need to be extra careful peeling off any protector..
heck i had one in my hand one time while cleaning it and it shattered lol darn dust sticker
Asking owners: how are your screens so far? Tell me everything -- are there many scratches, are they visible when the screen is on? Smudges, dust -- is it too irritating? Thanks!
Anyone?
No issues with mine so far.
No issues here but I'm really careful with it.
Thanks! I think I will take the plunge today.

Picked the phone up at the store today. Samsung bundles Z Flip with it's free original Leather Case.
Had mine for a couple of hours when I tried to open it with one hand by sliding my thumb in from the side and flipping up. This left a dent in the screen protector from my thumb nail that was really visible with the screen off. A day later it was still there, I put on a screen protector that is more durable, that original dent is not visible now. I don't know if it self-healed or is just covered by the new protector. As an added bonus the screen protector is less prone to fingerprints and I am not worked to rub it to clean. I will have to be careful if I need to remove the new screen protector so I don't peel off Samsung's.

The manual clearly states not to flip open the phone that way, you can damage the screen. You also voided the warrenty by puting another screen protector on it.
