S4 and Otterbox

Anyone have strange issues with airview and cases?
I normally wouldn't use a screen protector but one came with the Otterbox commuter so I used it.
My airview seems to jump around with the case and screen protector.

Perhaps part of the case is sticking down to the screen protector covering the screen somewhere. Sounds to me like there is a section of the screen being held down and when you attempt to use the feature, it jolts and jumps around not knowing where you want it to move.

I noticed this issue with a couple of cases on my friends. I think it is the cover near the sensors. What they did was remove the screen protector near sensors area and widen up the sensor area if your case covers it.

Ya I may take the screen protector off. Don't really need it just need the protection from dropping it

I think it may have been the screen protector as I have removed it and works great now.

Samsung Gave ME FAKE Gorilla Glass ? [PICTURES][

What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?

What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen

I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Definitely looks like the screen protector is causing it. Can you remove the screen protector and see if that removes the tint?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.

Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.

It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?

Edge Screen Issue

Is anybody finding it very easy to accidently catch skin on the edge of the screen and this interact with the device? I never had this issue with the S6 Edge but I'm finding sometimes whilst I'm typing or selecting things the phone will lag because it's detecting a second touch from my hand where I'm holding it.
I thought maybe this could be software related as surely something will be built in to cut out accidental touches?

tempered glass screen protectors???

Hey forum, I just got a s7 edge and am in the market for a tempered glass screen protector.
I've hit Amazon and ebay, scammed through pics and reviews from customers and it looks like there's little to none that cover the whole screen (edges included) that are durable, adhere well and stick to the screen and if there case friendly that would be nice.... If anyone has any they'd recommend Id appreciate it.

Its to hard make them out of glass because the screen is curved. Ive haven't seen any that have gotten good ratings. A few companies like zagg have them on the way. Zagg invisible shield is my go to protector. I'm sure there are a lot of great protectors I have not tried.

What Samsung needs to do is address the size of the edge screen slide or allow the option to resize

Don't waste your money on "tempered glass" protector. I've had two different brands and both of them lifted off the phone and cracked. None of them seem to be case friendly.

Hey papa mag, by Amy chance have you received the taken temp glass yet? I'm eager to hear what you half to say about it, this normal screen protector stuff isn't too bad but I'm eager to get my hands on a temp glass that is half decent, the zagg one should drop next month from what I hear.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yes I did and it was a piece of cake to apply. Unfortunately I was stupid and in too big of a rush to put my case back on. I noticed that one corner of my case was hung up and while trying to fix that issue I cracked the screen protector.
I will say that it lined and matched up perfectly no issues with touch sensitivity the edge feature is less responsive. Do to my own stupidity I have another glass on the way.

F that bro. You'll be just spending money on screen protectors. I still have my Zagg shield that I had to literally cut every single corner in, in order for any of my cases to fit properly. Sucks to not have tempered glass I love it but I rather have my edges. Im looking forward to the note 6. Rumored 4000 MAh battery, and two variants. Everyone including myself will take a note with spen and the beauty of the edge screen along with s7 edge features(water resistant/SDcard). Next year there bringing out the BIG GUNS. With foldable phones. Seeing people really liked the edge I believed Samsung is ready now, back when they revealed the concept(S3) it wouldn't be a good idea, now tho im sure they perfected the technology and were ready for what will bring out next.

I got the Taken Screen protector today. Let's just say I feel "Taken". Protector went on ok and that wasn't the issue. It was a fingerprint/palm print/smudge magnet. It was so bad that I thought there was a protective cover plastic on the glass. Sadly there wasn't. There is a thin piece of sticky adhesive around the inside of the glass that is used to adhere the protector to the phone. This made a crinkly sound anytime you pressed where the adhesive was. After 15 minutes, my screen was naked again.

From what I've read most curved glass screens require additional duct tape to hold it in place...and because they don't have any glue in the middle, it doesn't really contact the screen itself, ruining touch sensitivity.

I had a tempered glass on my s6+ it glued just fine but is it worth using

I put a Skinomi screen protector on mine yesterday. It goes on wet. Before this I've only used tempered glass but there isn't any good option for the Note 7 yet. I'm surprised to say that I'm happy with the Skinomi. It hasn't effected touch sensitivity or the pen, and feels good.

Are you using a case with it?

I've got a clear Ringke case that was 99 cents as a preorder. It just barely touches the corners of the screen protector. Doesn't seem to be pushing it up after a few days.

Had the Skinomi on for one day. Applied perfectly with no bubbles or lint or anything in a steam filled bathroom and then let sit for a day. Shortly after putting the case on, started bunching up on 2 corners and this was the case friendly film I might add. Next day I broke down and went to ATT store and put the curved plastic protector they had there. Better than nothing and plays well with my case.

Problem with that is not every case is the same. Sounds like your case goes farther up on the screen than mine. Which case had issues with the Skinomi?
