Hey I just got my OnePlus 8 pro. It did not appear to have a screen protector installed on on it but there were two in the box and they're real flimsy and I put one on and there's lots of bubbles. Anybody have any idea how to make this better?

Don't waste your time with them. Wait until something better is out for it. I put one on just for fun and when I wireless charged it got warm enough the rounded edges peeled up.

There is a film on the front and back. You need to peel the front film off after you put it on. That will get rid of the green line and writing.

There's a protective film on the front side as well, you can peel it off and that gets rid of the writing and green line, for whatever reason they put protective film on both sides of them. Still they are garbage screen protectors and frustrating that there wasn't one pre-installed like all previous years.

I did notice the film on both sides but they are still rubbish- there is NO WAY to put them on without bubbles - I guess that I am goig to have to get used to it for a few days. I ordered a few TGP off eBay, holding out for Whitestone...

I've noticed that the corners of my n1 are black and appear to be worn out as if the case it's in or possibly pants pocket has rubbed against it too much and worn out the soft part of the bottom corners.
Has this happened to anyone else or do I need new pants?

I've tried just smudging/rubbing it but it seems pretty stubborn and I don't want to damage it further if it is actually wearing out.
I'll try to get a pic, they don't turn out well because of the colours (grey on grey)

Not exactly, but someone on the Google Android Help forum stuck an invisible shield type thing on his, and the spots transferred to that when it was removed.
i've put a little rubbing alcohol on a handkerchief. that works ok...
So I took a look at my lens today and almost fell off my chair, I was like is that what I think it is, sure enough I grabbed a magnifying loop and holly crap it was scratched like crazy. I've had a case on since day one from Version. Just wondering if this is a factory defect or cheap glass on our lens.

Not sure about the material. What you seen as the lens is not really the lens, its a protective cover. This camera has a faily wide angle lens and the minimum focus distance is waaaay looonger than the distance between the cover and the sensor. A scartch on the lens cover will have ZERO impact on your images. Dont buy into apples sapphire glass lens hype. I have old lenses with demolished front element that produce perfect images
But u had to get a magnifying glass?????

They aren't scratches, get the light to shine off the surface of the glass, it will be clean, they are cracks inside the glass, about to return my third one because of this. I use a jewelers loupe to look at them, this is bad and your going to hear a lot about this issue soon. All the same problem, the crack lines run from top of phone to bottom of the phone on the lens.

How does this happen? How do you cause cracks inside the glass?
Hopefully, it's just the slightly lower Q.C. from the first batch of G2's before LG ramps up production. Almost all newly-released phones have this issue. The Note 3 is having this wiggly home button issue. Either way, it's inexcusable for LG and it's good that you guys are letting us know about this. I plan to get a G2 soon and i'll be taking a very close look at those lens before i move out of the shop.

Same way it happens in gemstones, stress. I think I have figured out what is happening, if you put your phone in a place where it can flex ever so slightly, the lens glass touches the outside casing, causing stress and thats when the cracks appear. So if you put your phone in your back pocket and sit down, that would cause the phone to have flex, thus causing the glass to stress and cracking.
I think I found something that actually tells how this is happening. Read here

Not unbreakable, otherwise we wouldn't be able to cut it, same as diamond. Sapphire is 9 on the Mohs' scale of hardness, diamond is obviously 10, the hardest substance, but even it can break and scratch. The thing is the difference in hardness between 9 and 10, it's like 140 times harder, wow!
Your exactly right about the imperfections, if the edges are damaged, they are already doomed to crack, and you can't see it because it's smaller than the eye can see and it's in a frame. But if you look closely you can see the edge looks rough, unfinished, theres the problem.

G'day all,
I just recently received my G2 and noticed that it gets very finger printy. I have the iloome screen protector and diztronic case but I want to be able to wipe the screen down every day or so just to keep it clean. What cleaning solutions or products do you guys use that won't take off the oleophobic coating on the screen protector or anything that is gentle but will degrease the phone? Mods please move if in the wrong section.
TIA!
I use the
Eyeglasses cleaner I got from my eye doctor and the soft cloth that came with it.
I used all that up lol. What about stuff that can be used to clean laptop monitors and other tablets/phone? The eye glass cleaner that we get only comes in tiny bottles and don't last long.

If you have a screen protector, then monitor cleaner will mess it up over time. You can get the glasses cleaner at a drug store. It's pretty cheap and you can buy it in bigger bottles then the sample you get from the eye doctor.

I use lotion a lot and there's always some kind of grease or file left on my phone. Plus my face is extra greasy which doesn't really help either.
Put it in the small container mixed with warm water and detergent. Soak it up for about 10'. Take it out, shake the water off, wipe clean with lint-free cloth.
Look good after all.

Cleaning minimal as possible. Too much cleaning on screen without screen protector just causes the screen to worn faster.
Also I don't suggest micro cloth unless you clean the cloth

this is the way to use a smartphone. don't care this too much, usually u can upgrade the phone each two years, why care it so much?
Am I supposed to take you guys seriously? I wouldn't use that stuff for just my phone. I have TVs, computers and other items I would use it on too, including my glasses (from having glasses for the last 20 yrs...). And if you read the thread, I do have a screen protector.
Just use a microfiber cloth...
If there is anything sticky that doesn't come off with the cloth, I just rub it with my finger until it comes off and then use the cloth to clean the fingerprints off. Oil from your skin does wonders.

Hi all!
Been noticing that there is a gap at the top of the phone between the glass and the metal frame. I noticed it when I make a call and my hair gets always stuck in the gap and gets pulled out
Just wondering if anybody else has this issue and will it not be waterproof at all? And should I take the phone back?
Thanks!
i'd take it back without question and don't leave the store (if you do it instore) until you have a phone with no gap
Mine is on the bottom.

correct, I got the 2 mixed up. I have no problem with either issues also but I do read a lot of light leak on all different forums.
I got no gap but feel that top frame is not straight. Feels bit curved from side left to side right. Almost non distinguishable but people with ocd can obviously spot it. I need s7 edge technical drawings to confirm it. If it's design or phone fault.
Can you post a picture? Mine has no visible gap, but I do know that the hair thing has happened to me on other phones. Also, the glass to metal frame will never be perfectly flush, but it shouldn't be noticeable.

Well the shop where I bought it has a really good service record (coolblue.nl. In the shop they agreed this was not OK, I opened a couple of phones in shop and they all had different sizes of gaps. So i'm not sure that the new batch doesn't have it, maybe it is OK according Samsungs margin of error.
Yeah I myself have had 5 handsets opened in CPW and all had same issues in various places. I have returned 2 myself even my one now has same issue but not as bad. I'm just living with it now because I fed up at returning handsets and dealing with crap customer service. This is how I noticed the light coming through sides in other thread.
Can't imagine the phone still being water resistant with those gaps. Came across this video

Guys I don't think that's actually a light bleed. It's more like a reflection of the light from the glass to the metal frame. My glass has zero gaps at one of the sides and very small ones at the other side - well it has equal amount of light reflection from both sides.

So I don't know if it's me being crazy or what. Has anyone else noticed a weird blueish green diagonal line pattern across the screen/screen protector on this phone? T mobile version...I don't know if it's been there the whole time or maybe when I sprayed Windex on the phone, well a cloth, then wiped the phone if that had something to do with it or what..just need a second opinion on this to make sure the screen/digitizers not effed or not. It's so I'll prominent on or off the same. It's like a blur gradient..I'll try to take a photo with another phone..any thoughts and opinions would be great..
Don't spray Windex on phone/tv screens. I heard it's bad, like it eats layers away damaging the screen.
