Dust around home button? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Does everyone with the black version have an issue with dust trapping around the home button?
I know there's no way to stop this but it does make the front of the phone look worse.

Okay. In some shop a test model of the galaxy s2 have well scratches its very waird. Can I remove the scratches with duplex scracht remover? Sorry from my english I come from the netherlands.

A scratch remove should work find on the home button - certainly easier than it would on the glass!
If you have any spare screen protectors, you may want to check them as some of them still have the cut-out bit for the home button attached to them, so you could trim it slightly and use that.
Other than that I wouldn't worry about it - it's very unlikely to happen and even if it does it doesn't affect the phone in any way whatsoever. If you saw a display model with scratches then that's because it's currently one of the most popular phones in the world and hundreds of people will have played with it every day, probably including small children and apes.

You would have to be an ape to get scratches on your Gorilla Glas.
As for the home button i think its just plastic but it has a silver bezel around it so may be finger nails scratching it.
okay! and no in the light? when you look in the light you can see scratches? i dont have anyone scratches on my phone only on the home buttom, the home buttom have no gorrila glass or what????

No, nothing at all and with the way they've designed it, I have to use my nails to press the home button.

No disrespect, but I seriously doubt that people would be interested in some scratches on your home button that you can very rarely see.
Forget about them
I don't have any scratches either. I do take precious care of my phone and thankfully, nothing has happened to it yet.
i also do have several scratches not visible from the first glance... little bit dissapointed, but do not pay much attention. Saw some protectors on ebay, but those only with svarovskiy crystals. xD expensive - but really does not worth it unless u r a lady

Spot on camera

Hi everyone, i have realized of a little spot on camera, anyone else have this problem? What do you recommend me to do?
Thanx
Check the lens for any dust particles or bit of trash. If nothing is visible on the lens, it may be a dust particle on the sensor itself. I see this from time to time on my DSLR.
IF it is on the sensor you should definitely return it for another phone, there's no way you could possibly clean it yourself.

Screen glass

Hi, I have my cellphone with broken glass and fully working touchscreen.
Its posibble to change the grass with any other?
Can I make it with a friend cutting that?
The touchscreen will work?
Thanks so much
desde la estratosfera
A lot of times it's easier to change the digitizer and glass as one unit.
Google, model number of phone, and see if they sell just the glass.
Then check the "i fix it" YouTube sites for instructions to do it your self.

Thats what I do first before ask here, I cannot find the spare part.... Its a vowney v5

Your Phone is not a popular model. So you can not find the spare parts. If your phone is samsung or iphone, you can find many screens for replacement. Since ifixit does not have the part, you have to ask your phone supplier to know if your phone can be fixed or replaced. If they accept replace a new phone for you , it is better, if not, you have to pay a lot of money on replacing the full front lcd screen with glass. They will not replace the single glass for you, they will replace the whole front unit. Understand ?
It could be a problem as many manufacturers glue the glass to the display. It's probably way easier to change the entire display with the glass as you also prevent getting any dust between both parts.

I believe the way it works is that the glass is not special but the way it is glued/fused is. It is also a lot less work to switch the digitizer and LCD together. I know of someone who has problems with dust getting behind the glass now when he tried to just replace the glass. I'm not saying that will necessarily happen for you but just as a caution. If you replace the whole unit you can be certain you won't have any dust issues. This should be a fun learning experience. I know changing the screen and digitizer for an iPhone was for me. =)

Proximity sensor issues?

I just got my new 6P and attached a tempered glass screen protector. I've never had a screen protector interfere with the proximity sensor but as soon as I do something like make a call, the screen goes black and won't power back on with the power button. Sometimes even after the phone call has ended, it'll make the lock and unlock sounds but the screen stays black. Anyone else?

You need to get a TGSP with the proximity sensor cutout. In the meantime, you can use the power button to end call (Settings -> Accessibility -> Power button ends call).

Thank you! What royally sucks is that I got this installed perfectly the first time. I guess no dial tone pushes for the time being.

that's crazy....my nexus 5 has only one cutout and that's the circle cutout for the earpierce speaker.....everything else is behind the tempered glass screen protector and works fine. The 6P doesnt work that way?

Yeah, I think something is wrong here. It responds to light but as soon as the phone call starts, pitch black, and even when I use the power button to kill the call, I still have to push it one more time for the lock sound, and then again for it to unlock. A master reset might be in order. It did update as soon as I pulled it out of the box. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to restore it and just started fresh.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Some of the first ones shipped by vendors don't have proper cutouts.
Here's how the one I purchased fits.

Hi guys, I have the same issue.
Is there even something you can flash, as I heard that the Nexus 6 had something to do with the proximity sensor too?
Or is the only resolution to get a new screen protector?
Cheers.
So I'm having the same issue with my 6P, but before I remove my beautifully applied screen protector, I'd like to be sure that removing it fixes the issue. There's a Google groups thread that is saying the issue is software-based and that phones without a screen protector that have upgraded to Marshmallow (Nexus 5, Nexus 6) are still having the issues.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/oqh-V37hgDM
So has anyone who has been having this issue successfully resolved it by either getting a new screen protector that has the cutouts or removing the screen protector altogether?
I can confirm that removing the top portion of my screen protector fixed my problem. Prior to cutting the screen protector, ambient display wasn't working either. Both work fine now.
I also have the same issue had to peal off nice tempered glass hope they fix with software.
Thanks Raphielh, appreciate the info. Also, if anyone bought the Supershieldz tempered glass screen protector, they are making new ones with the right cutouts and will be sending them to their customers in early November.
I assume i need to RMA my phone as my sensor shows no activity at all

I have the same screen protector, and noticed the same issue with proximity sensor. I took it off and everything works fine. The sensor is immediately to the right of the speaker grill, which was covered by the tempered glass.

I just installed the same app and my proximity sensor is not moving at all either. I also noticed when I'm on the calls if I move the phone away from my ear, the screen doesn't light up, I have to press power button. My Nexus 5 would just automatically light up when you move it from the ear. So does that mean proximity sensor is dead?

If you have a TGSP, take it off and see if that fixes it. Then RMA the screen protector, don't RMA the $500+ phone if you don't have to...
What's TGSP? I don't have any screen protector BTW. No case yet either.

Jonathan,
Where did you buy this TGSP? Can you post a link for others to purchase it?
WOW! I'm glad I found this thread. What a joke! I have never had a screen protector stop a sensor. Oh well, I'm glad I got a good deal on the ones I bought. Now I have some glass screen protectors that are no good. Anyways, thanks for everyone sharing their experience. Thought my phone needed to be sent back. Software issue should fix it. In the mean time I will be shopping for a screen protector that works. SMH

Replace screen

screen note 4 is a single component? Or glass and touch screen ..
I fell and I was a broken screen. The touch screen works very well, but it bothers me to see the line break and want change.

I'm not sure if it's one or two parts. But pay the extra money and get the screen and housing in one. It makes the fix a whole lot easier and less time consuming

Yes... but ... the difference is ... 10 Dollars or 300 dollars.

Where are you sourcing these parts?
The glass screen is actually glue onto the digitizer/AMOLED panel. So you are better of replacing the entire front panel rather than the glass as chances are you are gonna damage the digitizer/AMOLED panel when you remove the glass anyway.
