[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
To get the intended effect you would have to apply pressure to the screen to maintain the desired curvature while simultaneously applying heat, and then maintain the pressure until the adhesive/glass cooled.

Also, I submitted a support request via the Xgear website and got a replacement shipped at no cost. The replacement seems to be a significant improvement over the original, having similar issues but with much lower frequency. Since I had removed and reapplied the original twice, upon final removal I notices quite a bit of "stuff" clinging to the adhesive. Installation of the replacement ended up slightly high on the device, so I quickly removed and reapplied it, being careful to use a clean credit card to separate the screen protector from the screen after lifting it slightly with my finger nail, and verifying there was no "stuff" on the adhesive. A strange part of the return instructions is:

when the post office only allows for return of refused items as follows:

So they're basically telling you to scam the post office into returning the original item to them at no charge. It's a nice trick, and I'm sure a lot of people will do it, and lie to the postal worker when asked if the item was ever opened, but I'm surprised that this appears to be their official return procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohlsen8:
Yeah it's funny, I didn't realize what was going on with this until I got to the post office and the guy flat out told me he knew it was opened and couldn't take it. It was actually kind of embarrassing in front of a line of people. They sent it in a mailing box that was not taped shut and only secured by the piece of cardboard tucked in at the one end.. I remember thinking it was odd.

In any case, I contacted Xgear and about it and asked if they had a shipping label I could print or what the next step was, and they told me to just keep the original or throw it away.

Haven't tried the replacement yet and I may not. The regular screen protectors I got in the meantime work perfectly.. and I don't feel like going through the BS with the Fantom again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Well I'm finally getting the "clicking from the protector popping up on the curve at the bottom bug" after reapplying it a few times.

Starting looking for a replacement today. I'm not going to mess with returning or asking for a refund.

We all tried a consumer product that hadn't been tested. We are the beta testers. I love how clear this thing is but I just don't think tempered glass is made to curve. I guess I'm going back to film-type :(

Just bought one of these. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083JTMDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amujee:
That's for the Galaxy Proclaim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Good catch ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afma_afma:
This company should be reported to USPS for this kind of illegal stuff..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
As much as I would love to have the stock glass feel and have little or no grease magnet screen, the amount of trouble involved (sensitivity, not sticking, response issues) seems to be really bad. Guess I'll just wait with my finger print magnet martin fields until it becomes sorted out :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
I guess I'm like the only one who's not really having problems, lol.

Although, I did have a small bout of unresponsiveness the other day.

Other than that, it's been fine. I feel like with the protector and case, I don't have to set my phone down like it was an egg. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b.huss2:
Lol, your not the only one. I haven't had any problems with mine, but when I got it, I took my time and made sure my screen was perfectly clean. Applied the protector (it went on right the first try) and never took it back off. Works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
I've seemed to have fixed the popping up issue for now.

What I did was put the top on then held the bottom up with one hand and pressed from the top down with my finger on the other hand right in the middle. So there was a good amount of pressure kinda laying it down from top to bottom following the curve of the screen.

I believe the mass of adhesive at the top and bottom kinda "wedge" the middle down to the screen.

Hope someone can understand this.

Edit: don't use too much force or it'll explode like mine just did :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BurnOne77:
I've had mine on since the 12th and I have not a single issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohlsen8:
I did the same but the reverse (without the explosion :P) .. Held top and reapplied bottom. Worked well for half a day and then issues reappeared. I do miss the glass feel of the fantom now. It was slick feeling when it worked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
Although Xgear is telling people to do it, and how (carefully open and reseal), it's the end user who's actually doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] question.com:
I also have the lowered end sensitivity issue. They replaced mine and the new one had the rainbow issue in the middle. I also got one for my girls s3. That one is perfect. Out issue lies on the curved screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] question.com:
So I'm getting a refund. Can't use my phone like this. Funny thing, the post office refused to ship back the first one that xgearlive told me to write refuse on. Looks like I'm sending both back in one box. They told me I won't have to pay the restocking fee, but I did loose a good chuck on shipping.

The one for my girls s3 js great. She actually dropped her phone last night and cracked the screen protector. It did its job and I'm great full
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohlsen8:
my unopened replacement went back this morning as well. i'm not even trying it after everything i went through with the first one. it's a shame because it's such a nice protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
Just installed mine yesterday. It fit well even with SGP neo hybrid.

No prob with sensitivity but i got a rainbow at the middle where tiny holes seems to have not well done. I can see it in dark environments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Remove and reapply without pushing on the center, it is pressure in the center warping the screen that creates the rainbow spots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdpfortune:
After receiving my replacement, everything was good....for about a week. Now lately...sensitivity issues have appeared and it saddens me as I know it is because of the curvature of the screen that makes that section become affected.

If only the screen protector itself was designed with the curve already existent....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
When you have the issue, turn the screen off and on again. Does it work all of a sudden?

If so (and this is the case for most) it's a hardware/software bug that the tempered glass exacerbates, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
It works ! Thanks for the advice ! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dsoto87:
I had one of the first fantoms. It was horrible. When I first applied it, it had sensitivity issues but I thought it would get better in time. I eventually tried to reapply it again and that's where it went all downhill. The curved area would not stick no matter what I did. I sat on it, I held it together for a half an hour, I left it on my car dash in the sun a few times. Nothing worked.

That's when I got my replacement. The replacement is excellent. I think its quality control issues. I say that because even the outlines for all the sensors on the replacement are perfect. My original was a little off. You also have to think that the area for adhesives on the side is very thin. If its off just a little, you may not have enough adhesive to hold it down over the curve.

I love this thing but if it breaks, I'll think twice about ordering another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
I have security cameras and I noticed when my Gnex arrived from the Play Store the UPS guy just threw it over my fence even though there was clearly a mailbox outside. I have a gravel/rocky pathway and that's where it landed :P Google thought it through and put wrapping thank god.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exclaymation:
How are you guys removing the fantom? I've been trying for the last 20 minutes and I can't get the damn thing off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
Only success from the bottom of the nexus ! (i have no long nails! :p)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohlsen8:
I used a push pin (bulletin board tack thing, whatever they're called) and wedged it in between the fantom and the screen at the bottom of the phone, and then pried it up and grabbed it.. I think I also used a tiny metal paper clip too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilfuel99:
I've had this protector for almost a month now and i haven't had any issues at all with it.... seams to work great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
Now i have installed the ox what do u think si better this than ox??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vil-2:
After a month I uninstalled my fantom.

I couldn't bear those sensitivity issues any longer. Not to mention the UV grid in direct light.

It's quite sad because this protection is much better than the plastic films, but I just can't get used to pushing (well, CRUSHING) my navbar. I have some issues with my keyboard, too, especially the lower buttons, as you can tell.

I think this is so much better with a S3 or an iPhone, but the incurved screen is just a pain.

I will wait for the V2!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohlsen8:
yeah, you know I'd probably try it again in the future if they got it right and i still had my nexus (or even a different phone). maybe also depending on how much they refund me on the replacement I just sent back.. really though, it's very high-quality if they could fix the sensitivity.

funny that UV grid didn't bother me at all really. i was probably too busy beating my navbar to notice haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
So it is buggy? Tell me about that

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
I finally decided to get a good screen protector and I like the look of this one. I'm just kinda worried about all these issues. But it seems like if you put it on once it works fine, and if you re-apply it 20 times, it'll have problems. Isn't that kind of the case with any screen protector?

So I guess I'll just... put it on right the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Even if you put it on correctly there's a chance you'll run into the sensitivity bug: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1576739

Basically the Fantom exacerbates a hardware/software issue with SOME Galaxy Nexuses, which is triggered by (among other things) the Recent Apps button. Some devices have this bug without any screen protector, some devices only have this bug with the Fantom installed, some devices have no problems at all. The bug can be verified by turning off the screen and turning it on again - if sensitivity returns to normal then it's not the Fantom's fault, it's a bug on the device that the Fantom is only making more obvious.

Mine has the bug, but I'm living with it for now by going to Security settings and disabling "power button locks instantly", so when it starts to get too flakey for me, I just flip the screen off and on and keep going. The Fantom I received is perfect - cutouts are like 99% perfect (just a hair high on the speaker so I could center the notification LED), and adheres excellently.

It's worth a try man, best protector I've ever owned or even seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
Well after a few months I've never encountered that bug myself, so hopefully this won't make it any different. That last line was reassuring, and I just hate wet-apply screen protectors, so I guess I'll take this expensive plunge. Thanks br0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I'm one of the people with a device in the middle group by the way, "some devices only have this bug with the Fantom installed", and I still love this protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
Mine only has the sensitivity issues with the Fantom installed. I firmly believe this can be fixed by Google, since turning the screen off/on immediately clears up the problem for me. My dilemma is: do I continue to put up with it while I wait for Google to fix the issue, or do I replace the Fantom with something else now, hoping that I can keep the adhesive free of ANY dust/debris and reapply it if/when Google finally fixes this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
Is this issue not addressed in any roms or flashable fixes? It must really be a minority of devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensta812:
So I decided to order one hoping mine will be like the other people in the forum that have had no problems with it. My question is what kind of advice would you give to applying it for those who were successful. I've read that people who are pressing down too hard in the middle cause it to lose sensitivity? We should get a list going on peoples experiences who were successful :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
nah, pushing down in the middle causes rainbows. basically you just need to get an app like led color tester by coolbeans and use that to make sure everything's centered. then just start from the bottom/top and push down around the edges, making a "seal".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
I fixed my lag issues with the following 2 fixes.

1st i use winner00 CM10 Linaro rom. Linaro is a new compiler that makes the os much more responsive.

2nd, I applied a patch for the surface flinger library at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875486. This was most likely the fix, but the performance boost of Linaro is very nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
no offense intended here, but what do the CM lag issues have to do with this screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
My issue prior to my fix was sometimes I needed to press very hard when i hit the home key or the recent menu key. Now the issue has not shown its presence since i added the rom and patch. The patch was not exactly the same for the issue many of us all talking about in this thread, but it helped me.

no offense taken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philowneus:
That patch does work. I have been using it for quite a few days. I have never had to screen off to get my buttons to work after applying it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
In my first hour playing around with using the surfaceflinger patch I can say the issue does still occur. On the upside, it seems like when it does occur the screen remains more responsive than without the patch, ie. you don't have to push as hard to get it to respond.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amehdi43:
I emailed the xgearlive support, they replied back saying that they should have the white fantom tempered glass screen protector for thw white gnex in stock within the next few weeks. No exact date just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mangusZen:
I don't understand..why don't just replace the glass if scratched with this for example

http://www.ebay.it/itm/Black-Front-...Accessories&hash=item2a23154cf4#ht_1304wt_958

Is this really original?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Because it definitely was never that cheap before.. I always thought the digitizing layer was part of the screen, so it could never be that cheap to replace (couple hundred dollars iirc).

Not sure what that eBay seller is all about.. reads like the digitizing layer is seperate.. so, awesome?

Great find, mangus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
My replacement Fantom is on its way back. I now have a cheap screen protector applied and it's like having a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
XGear "Phantasm" just got released for the Nexus 7. I made a thread for it if anyone wants to follow along. They already sold out of their current stock, but they should be getting more in from the factory soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crodgers79:
Sucked - and I got sucked in

Spent $30 for what I thought was "the best in-class." Within 3.5 weeks the adhesive began to fail and the Fantom began pulling away from the phone. Screen presses had to be hard and on-target to work. got angry that I spent $30 on something that doesn't work so I went back and asked for a refund. bought the Skinomi wet protector from Amazon for only $9 and could not be happier, just like using the original glass, smooth and very responsive! don't get sucked in like I did!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I've had zero problems with adhesion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kennyc1:
no issues here neither.

running the fantom with casemate pop. love the combination.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
I had nothing but problems with the Fantom and any other screen protector. I would have to push the icons on my nav bat multiple times, almost felt like I was gonna put my finger through the display. I'm returning the Fantom as I type this. I eventually just took a zagg screen protector and cut the bottom off of it to expose the nav bar. Tried factory reset, finger fix, screen calibration app, multiple roms, factory Rom, nothing worked. Kinda disappointed the bottom of my screen is unprotected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
I had to take off my fantom too. The unresponsive nav buttons was just getting annoying. Plus, I wasn't too fond of the added weight it added to the device. I'm using a clear plastic Verizon screen protector now. I might go back to the xo skin like I originally had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Well after all my big talk the adhesive finally started to give way at the curve in the last few days. That's what I get for bragging, eh? :p

Probably going to go the replacement route, see if I can talk them into making a revised black version. They're making a white GNex SP now (stronger adhesive, tweaked cuttouts). Their revised SGS3 one doesn't even have the dot grid anymore..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightmedz:
Haven't got any issues with the adhesive yet but maybe because I'm using it with my SGP Neo Hybrid case. The lip on the edge of the screen seems to help hold down the Fantom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
ordered!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r29:
email them they will gladly replace it for you. I had adhesive issues as well can they sent me a free replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmcdonald58:
Not happy with mind I emailed for exchange I lose screen response on my navigation buttons plus the dots just look crappy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikou_demon:
I have the same issue. Thought it was a use issue, but it's nice to see other people are also having issues with the proximity sensor, the oil-like pattern in the center, and the randomly unresponsive nav bar.I haven't had any issues with adhesion yet, though. *_* I hope that doesn't happen, but I emailed about an exchange anyway since the other problems are worrisome as is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lookitzjohnny:
too bad they dont have a revised version for this like the s3 version, then i would definitely buy it. stronger adhesive, with no dots.

I reflashed the standard kernel for 8.1 abd erased cache. Reflashed the 8.1 Rom. The rom is excellent. It's fast very fast. But still cab bot charge to 100 % even left off overnight. I have tried Faux6m with the same issue.

II have cleared delvick cache as well.

Is there something I am missing? Had no issues on version 7 of ARHD.

Thanks for any help

You mean can not charge to 100%? :p

Did you try to wipe battery stats in cwm? (cache and dalvik cache?)

Sorry corrected percentage. Have wiped battery but will try again abd fix permissions just in case.

I now have reflasshed the rom with no optioned checked. Stock kernel. Caches erases multiple times. Still no lunch in charging over 50 % even see the phone restart on its own when I have it turned off trying recharging. So I am in the hospital and when released will move back to the 7.2 version. This new rom is so fast I was getting the best scores bettering slightly the samsung new product. Sorry for typos. Vision is having issues as well.

[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
I will try now and will go outside to try it
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
When I went outside to try it when I enabled GPS and open ndrive the phone freezes and I should pull the battery do you have any idea why this happens even with huexx 4.1 kernel??!!
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Try to use huexxx kernel 4.0 with mod. It uses the old LG drivers. The old LG drivers are more stable.
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
After flashing yours the gpsfix now no gps at all!!!!?????
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
First is not my gpsfix.

Second, try to reboot, use GPS Status from Google Play to have a better view of your GPS. Also clean AGPS data (in this application, go to tools->agps data and reset or something like this)
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
Sorry for this mistake :)

Can I try this at home or should go outside??!!

Also what info can I get from GPS STATUS
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
Open GPS Status, go to Tools -> Manage A-GPS and choose reset.

Now make sure that you have GPS enabled and try it hehe

The first time (aka cold start) could take several minutes. Future times it will get a lock faster.

And make sure you flashed the gps fix for your zone.

Good luck :)
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
Look I flashed before I tried GPS status and it doesn't get the signal then I confused I reboot the device then I opened GPS status it gets the signal in 2 SECONDS hehe

but I want to try it when I go far almost 10 KM far from home okay wait my feedback after some days or one day
