S3 Frontier: What's this under rotating bezel? - Samsung Gear S3

Hi, there's something underneath my rotating bezel and I can't seem to figure out what it is. Does anyone have this? My frontier was bought new from amazon.

Ist's a teflon (PTFE) ring,if you can see it ,it is displaced and your bezel might not rotate Smoothly.

[Q] Has anyone had their glass on the back become unglued?

I got my Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile variant) on 10/22, but had to send it back the next day due to the bottom right corner of the back glass coming unglued and popping up about 1mm. Has anyone else had any issues with this? Does it affect the water tightness of the phone? My new one will be here today and I'm hoping it was just a rare defect.

Oops, guess I need to read what I actually type better. Meant about 1mm (above the inlay of the glass). Unfortunately I don't have pictures, and I've already sent it back.
I also have this, but on the bottom left corner of the back. It's really really tiny tho.

that would be really interesting
I have been looking and can't find it no where.
I've also searched the entire net but can't find it nowhere.
Does anyone know what technology is used in that screen protector. We can try to make our own if we new that.
The Navigation bar will move to the bottom bezel after you deactivate and close it in the Settings, while the upper bezel corners will activate certain apps like camera etc.. when swiped.

Pls notice the printed buttons at the buttom. .

They have some inivisible wiring done in that screen protector. the touch on protector's buttons translates to simultaneous touches in certain areas of device. These simultaneous touches can be used to trigger home, back or whatever function huawei has coded in.

There is one thing. The p8 is global with there bands, can be be used any where, has full huawei support from the main site, and since all that is the case the p8 and the p8 maxx would be there flag ships and get the accessories before any of the other phone will even hope to get them. Thats why I am hoping that a china company makes a cheap version of it and I will bet money they will. The way they are sell these phones. They just have to get rid of a few more screen protectors first, they don't want to get stuck with them if everyone move on over to touchplus protectors. I'd pay 30 to 40 bucks for one.
How does this even work? How does the phone know you pressed buttons off the screen?
I love the idea of more screen real estate!

The software on the phone ( see the Touchplus under your settings ) simply monitors if a signal happened at x location.
Under the touchplus protector there is a micro thin wire going from the front ( where you see the buttons ) to the back ( that touches your screen ).
As you press the button, you create a electric contact with your skin's electricity field, this signal is send to the back of your protector, to the phone where the software picks up this signal on that exact location.
And because the signal is send using a thin wire, its impossible to mistake this with a finger press because our fingers our huge so the location of the electric field is way more massive.

That is pretty impressive to say the least!
I hate on screen buttons as they take away screen real estate. I will definitely be picking one of these up whenever they are available!
I wonder why they didn't just put the buttons down at the bottom of the phone in the first place?

Where's the Proximity sensor?

I haven't seen this answered anywhere, and looking at close-up photos, I can't seem to find the proximity sensor ... Anyone know where it is?

The little dot in the top just off to the right hand side is my guess because if I cover that spot the phone will not wake with double tap.

Not sure why it uploaded sideways and small but here it is.
That spot flashes with the screen off when you're looking at it through another camera.

Uneven screen? More bezel on one side?

I started looking at my phone and it looks like the left side of screen has more black bezel than the right. I will post pics later today. Really upset if this is true. With the 6T I had an issue and the RMA experience is horrible. Post pics of your side bezel so I can compare. Post with case on and off.
I was looking at mine, sorry i cant post a pic. what i think you might be noticing is that the factory installed screen protector is just the tinniest bit to the right. at least, thats what i notice on mine. you cant see it unless you really examine it closely, but the bezels are definitely the same on both sides.

It's seems to be really noticable with white background. Or maybe it's the stock case that cut uneven. Put on your stock case and see if one side of the phone shows more bezel. I am using the clear stock case and that might be the issue.
you might be right. best test i could think of was hiding the navbar, then going into an app where theres a text input box on the bottom. this way, you can compare the curve along the box

This is the best pic I can take off the screen not aligned. Not sure if you can tell but with the bright sunlight you can see where it's misaligned. Left side is off by a bit.
I see what you're talking about, but I do think it's the stock case as well (i'm still using the stock case) and not the phone, because when I take the case off and look at the actual bezel of the phone, it's the same
Looking at it with the sun directly shining on the screen. You can see the AMOLED is slightly shifted to the right.

It was. That's why I sent it back.
If you forward the the 6:10 mark you can see the AMOLED screen is not glued to glass. This issue I have can become very common.

Screen Guards which allow fingerprint scanning and SPen pressure sensitivity

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0848QZ355/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_QiPrEbJNMXEYV
Used this screen guard on my Note 10 Lite. After application and ensuring no bubble anywhere near the finger print scanner switched it in.
At the first shot it did not read the prints. However after deleting the stored prints and registering them once again they worked well.
A little extra pressure was required for a good read.
Pressure sensitivity for the SPen was also Ok
Only issue is that it's not an edge to edge screen guard. However I'm ok with it as does not snag onto the edges of the case when taking the phone out for cleaning.
Any case you have ordered for it

Can you write all the way to the edge of the screen? I saw one report that with Samsung Notes app this wasn't possible.

No a small bit gets left out. However while naturally writing it's not noticible but while sketching sometimes there is a drop off as you reach the edge of the screen guard..
I use this one : perfect, no difference with or without !

My *DBT Version does not contain a cover.

I second that it's not possible. Any reasoning behind this?
