Not quit sure what you mean? Are you saying your case prevents you from sliding your thumb over the home button? Or are you saying the scanner randomly does not work because you have a case on?

the case prevents you from scanning because it raises your finger
certainly possible. which case??
Mine works with spigen tempered glass (..23) and a case the case( Ringke Fusion). I thought it would not but spigen made it super thin around the home button. I am happy with it. I also set mine to open with my thumb not straight up and down but at a angle so that i can do it with one hand.

Hi XDA!
I just got my 6T out of the box. I'm tryin to remove the pre-installed screen protector. It's not aligned well and it irritates me. However, I couldn't manage to remove it. Is there any trick ? Did you guys remove it and how?
You can remove it starting from one of the four corners, only using your fingernail for it. I did that yesterday and it came off pretty quickly and smoothly (I replaced it with a dbrand prism).
Or you can use a razor blade, the glass underneath won't be scratched with it.

I did exactly this, including the replacement with Prism!

Oh great just like me! While we're at it, did the behavior of the fingerprint scanner change after you switch to the prism? Mine sometimes works great, sometimes just refuses to unlock.
I guess I need to re-setup.

Scanner has been fine for me but I re-setup all my fingerprints after installing Prism. It's also recommended by OnePlus to do this as well.
Mission accomplished guys! It didn't came out in one piece though, lol.
For anyone who worries about scratching their shiny new phone and applies a screen protector then take note that in doing so that the motion Gestures will stop working.
I applied a glass screen protector to my phone tonight and although it does not cover the section where the cameras and soli chip are located, after I did the motion Gestures stopped working and the detection for face unlock was hit and miss.
Once I removed the screen protector it all started working again. Not sure if a plastic protector might work better.
If anyone has any ideas or experience please share.
Mind divulging what brand screen protector you used? I grabbed a cheap Pleson 3-Pack on Amazon this week to use until my IntelliGlass one arrives in November. Curious to see if it causes the same issue.

I just put a glass MP-Mall off Amazon on mine. It's got a gap on the top with two horns.
Everybody has been hating on the accuracy of the gestures, but it's been pretty reliable for me.
After I put the screen protector on I'm pretty sure it affected it. It doesn't respond as well, but then I question whether I waved correctly or not. [emoji2357].

The one I bought from Amazon is branded OMOTION. Definitely the protector because I removed it last night and motion sense started to work again. I put on another this morning and it's stopped working. I have ordered another brand from Amazon to test.
If anyone finds one which works please let me know.
Got my Pixel 4 a few hours ago. I installed a PLESON tempered glass screen protector before I even turned the thing on. It does not cover the entirety of the glass, as expected, because of the curved edges.
Face Unlock works well, and reaching for the phone is detected properly when the ambient display is on. The only thing I've found to not work 100% reliably so far are the gestures for skipping music tracks. First of all, the app has to support it. So the gestures straight up don't work in Shuttle Music Player (my personal favorite) but will work with Google Play Music. Moving your hand from left to right is supposed to skip to the next song while the reverse motion is supposed to restart the song and/or go back to the previous song. I've found that when doing these gestures, only the right to left motion (restarting / going to the previous song) works, whereas skipping the track does not. Additionally, you can see towards the top of the screen, underneath the earpiece, that a bar will light up and it follows the movement of your hand.
So the PLESON screen protector will work for now, but I have an Intelliglass on the way, which should hopefully perform properly.
I have not heard of Intelliglass protectors before, just googled and found that and also intelliarmour. Both seem to cover the whole phone so I assume for the Pixel 4 it will also cover the soli chip. Will be interesting to hear how you get on. I suspect it may stop it working. I have found my protector overlaps the screen and covers about 3mm of the notch, I assume that is what is causing the motion sense to not work. With no protector it works fine.

Sorry, gonna trim this a bit. But only for one reason and that's the screen protector debate. I always used those things until I didn't. I would drop the phone and they would shatter and I was .. omg thank goodness for the screen protector. And then I thought hmm.. let me see. Did a little research and the reviews were mixed. Until I dropped the device without one and .. nothing. No cracks no glass break no nothin'. I never got another one and I've never broken a screen with a drop either. Now don't jinx me lol but I don't think they do a thing. I did get a fabric case for my P3 and 3a and they work well with minor obstructions.
I've not ordered the $40 fabric for the P4 yet but I probably will at some point. I like to get the feel of the device before I do that and I try to be uber careful until that time. But just a few quick thoughts that don't mean much other than my own.

Yeah, I've considered rocking my phone without a protector in the past, especially because I'm usually very careful with my phones, but there have been times where my phone my phone was knocked out of my hand by some idiot or something and I just like the added protection (if there is any). At the very least when I go to sell the phone the original screen is in nearly pristine condition.
As far as cases go, I really enjoyed the Spigen Thin Fit I had on my G7 so I'll be picking one of those up as soon as it's released in white. In the mean time, I snagged a Spigen Liquid Crystal just for basic protection. Although, the idea of rocking it naked is tempting. It feels very nice in my hands.
I also have the OMOTON brand from Amazon and the face unlock works ok, however the gestures to skip songs in Spotify rarely work. I will try to remove the protector later and see if that for sure is the issue.
I discovered that if I do the gestures with a phone off to the side it's not very repeatable but when I have the phone directly in front of me it works most of the time with the screen protector still on. I am thinking the screen protector prevents it from working off to the side as well. My wife just got a pixel 4XL as well and it works off to the side.
it would be nice to have some protection on the rear square that the camera's sit behind...i'm not sure how it would affect the camera performance, but once you get a little scratch on that surface, you'll have a camera that struggles to pull focus on close objects.. thoughts?
Motion Sense hardly works without a screen protector. Turn it off to save the paltry battery life, and protect your screen
Has anybody noticed any chipping in the paint around the camera glass? I've always had mine in a case, never dropped only in my pocket or bag. But looked at the back of my phone to do some cleaning and noticed this little bit of paint chip. It doesnt hinder anything besides my OCD has this happened to anybody?
That sucks maybe warranty? but I can recommend this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08518YL4M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 they work great with cases that have no camera hump protection.

Do you have one of those? they look interesting for someone like me who uses a skin. Can you make some photos?
edit: they don't have this for the S20+
That's not chipping had the same after one day and it turned out to be dust that got in there. Just get a wet towel and rub the dust off
It is definitely a chip on the edge of the camera glass / frame, and it is sensitive not the glass though. One of the reason why I installed a skin even on the camera lens.
Just noticed this too. Case and etc on. I'm super careful with my phone's, so it's weird that it happened at all.

would this frame work with the otterbox defender case ?
Do you put it in your pocket with other things in the pocket?

I contemplated removing the factory screen protector for the last month as I hate how my fingers catch the edges, how the dust gathered along the edges as well as how it affects the fingerprint scanner. Well I removed it today and added the liquid screen protector (which with a little commen sense actually worked to protect my screen on my Note 10 Plus for almost a year from any scratches) and this phone is so much nicer. Your fingers glide across the screen and the finger print reader works so much better know then with the protector. The screen also just looks better...clearer, I'm not sure how to describe it but I sure love this phone even more now.
Liquid Glass, it's been around for years. Hydrophobic.
It's nanometers in thickness. Bonds on the molecular level.
It's also a real ***** to remove especially around the edges. Mineral spirits, lots of it and clean clothes. If you go to another system it may not need removal or it could cause adhesion failure.
I'm not very keen on it for this application for a variety of reasons.
Unfortunately the protection 1 coat provides is almost nonexistent. On cars you need minimum 3 coats, 5+ is better with Liquid Glass; it's formulated to be used like this.
5+ coats looks like a layer of clear coat, great for black cars.
The stuff you're using not so sure it can be "layered".
Don't count on this to save the screen from even sand; it's simply not thick enough. It will repel water and make cleaning easier, eventually it wears off of heavily used areas.
No added impact resistance.
Plastic urethane screen protectors don't feel as good but provide excellent scratch/marring protection and even some limited impact protection.

Where did you get your phone from because I really don't see a "factory" screen protector? I bought mine paid in full from Samsungs website but I really don't see a factory screen protector on it.
Mine was purchased directly from Samsung Canada and it had the factory screen on it...you can tell if you look at the front camera....you can see the circle around the camera.

I looked and quite closely too and I don't see anything around my camera hole.. At least nothing that resembles a screen protector cut-out.. I'm guessing some have them and some don't.
That is pretty strange, I cannot remember the last Samsung phone I have purchased that didn't have a factory installed screen protector.

Apparently this is the case; some do, some don't.
You can see a small bit of exposed screen all around the edge of the screen protector if it has one.
Lame of Samsung not to include this on some for at least temporarily protection.

That factory one is really pretty good.
Leave it on until it wears out. Have a one ready.
I found the wet apply ones are the easiest to put on perfectly. They last about 3-4 months maybe more, give good scratch protection and a little impact protection as well.
Yes I still have the factory one on it, thanks. I did purchase amfilm on Amazon for when factory one wears out. I was tempted to order the Whitestone dome but way too expensive.

That's really odd because both of mine did not. Are you sure you arent using the shipping cover that had the hole where the fingerprint reader is?

So yours didn't come with one. We are talking about two different things.
On one hand you have a factory installed edge to edge screen protector with a cut out for the camera.
On the other hand you have a shipping film added to keep the screen from getting scuffed when shifting around in the box.
I usually remove mine when it starts to get messed up. Then it's like getting a new phone!

i use my phone without any protector )
Don't remember if mine came with one or not. But definitely need one and a case as well because I HATE the accidental touches on my phone lol
Mine came from Samsung Canada with the preinstalled screen protector, but I was unhappy with the responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor, so I peeled it off. What a difference. The fingerprint sensor works instantly and the screen feels much smoother.
