Tempered glass + Mobile feet- screen touch issues-FIXED

I was using Nilkin back cover but it made the mobile heavy and and big. My main concern for case was keeping the mobile flat on back when the power key would brush to surface and I feared scratches. Then I came across mobile feet for iphone on ebay for INR 98/- . Ordered it and WOW its transparent and has a grip that lasts like anything. My phone on my car dashboard wont move an inch even on bumpy roads or on speed breakers.

Best of all the g2 kept flat on a surface, NO MORE TOUCH ISSUES WITH REGARD TO TEMPERED GLASS. IE. if phone lay flat on a surface with tempered glass on the screen, top part of the screen would be completely non responsive.

After putting the Mobile feet, that glitch is gone forever...like a fix for touch issues. I recommend it to everyone who faces touch issues. Plus it rests the phone suspended preventing the back from scratches, the need of a case...and yes the adhesive is very strong , wont come off easily... Here is a link to the same..... LINK

I have tried Mocolo, Glass4m, xtreme guard and gadgetshields for our G2 but somehow, I get back ti NILKIN always as it is according to me the best in terms of durability and fitting. In the attached picture the tempered glass you see is the NILKIN one re-applied for 2 time...still fitting perfectly, no bubble, raised edges...etc.

I was using it before I ordered the Gadgetshields. Somehow over a period of 5 days, I did not like the feel with gadgetshields. While I applied gadgetshields I took my Nilkin and put it on the plastic paper on which gadget shields was received. So I decided to switch back to Nilkin and wow. It fit like new. No probs...... (see pictures)

Please do press thanks if if liked this post......be good and ENJOY

Wow, please tell me where you got that tempered glass [MENTION=5240311]rastigo[/MENTION], I want to buy as well. A link for the same will be highly appreciated. I have the iloome installed, but the alignment is not good. Its only for the lit portion of the screen and the protector has also chipped off from bottom. I wrote to iloome, 4-5 times, but no response from them. Finally I gave away... So I hope Nilkin works for me as it looks quite good...

Also that mobile feet, is it plastic/glass???? noob question but just asking man....just asking

Thanks anyways

It says polyurethane, which is a non-stick rubber (similar to what skateboard wheels are made from). I've tried rubber feet which look the same (though they are not that brand) and can confirm that they do NOT fix the touch issue that happens to some phones when you lay it flat on a surface and the screen becomes unresponsive. But different G2s (and G3s and G2 Minis) are affected by this issue to different degrees, so it's very possible that with a phone that was only mildly affected, it may make some difference. Pity this Indian product is not available in Australia or I'd try it out. Mind you, with feet on a phone you can't put it in a case anymore...

My tempered glass is broken with one drop. . . .. . The main screen has survived the fall

But now I have to buy new to take this off. . What I should to buy??
[G2 Accessories] primegrinder:
Im searching for glass on Aliexpress but there's many offers with price beetween 3-8 $ and I dont know which is best. Can anyone give me a link to trustworthy shop/glass?
[G2 Accessories] Zarrick19:
Just applied my Nillkin tempered glass protector and, well, I'm not too happy with it. The edges didn't stick completely, just like in your case on your pics or here on this one

even though in my case those parts are like 1mm. thick, so I can kind of live it. Also I've got a tiny little dust piece under the glass, I've tried to pick up the glass and try to remove the dust piece but I couldn't so I let it be, or I would make a bigger mess with trying...

I'm pleased with the accessory it came with and the camera lens protector comes handy too! Just those nonadhering edges... the G2's screen isn't some ****y chinese TN crap, you don't look at it just to check something... and those edges really kind of fck it up :( Any way to get rid of them :confused:
[G2 Accessories] Fabio03:
I bought pthink tempered glass for my d802 and fits well
[G2 Accessories] Ralph77:
Unfortunately not. Poor quality control means that some SPs will do this and others from the same manufacturer won't. Best bet for a good result is to take care with the alcohol swab to clean the edges of the screen thoroughly prior to application. But even that won't absolutely ensure a perfect result.
[G2 Accessories] Hosre:
sensitivity

Does the tempered glass decrease sensitivity of touchscreen? I haven't any time for reading all the thread to get this information.
[G2 Accessories] Ralph77:
It sure can, but it depends on whether your G2 (or G3 or G2 Mini) is affected by a relatively rare issue. Before you put a SP on your phone, try this out:

It would be helpful if you enable 'Show Touches' in Developer Options.

Make sure the phone is UNplugged from power or PC, and place it flat on a table, so you will only be touching it with one finger. Also the phone should be in the usual portrait mode, not landscape.

Go to the Mobile Data screen (from Settings).

Tap around a bit in the grey bar just under the battery/clock icons. After a few seconds of tapping you may find that you lose touch response in the top right corner - and when that happens, you cannot pull down the Android status bar either (a useful test if you prefer not to enable Developer Options).

At its worst, this will persist even on other screens until the screen is turned off and on again. At its best, it will simply fix itself after a few seconds.

If your phone does that, you may find that your general touch response is not as good when a SP is installed. But then again - even if your phone does that, it might still be OK with a SP installed, if you get a thin enough one. Unfortunately tempered glass tends to be quite thick though (like 0.3mm or more).
[G2 Accessories] nedooo:
That is fugly, I always recommend cheap accessories, I like mine no name around 3 Euro Tempered glass...
[G2 Accessories] shaxs:
I thought the Nilkin was smaller and didn't go edge to edge like your picture?

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

At this point, which is the best protector that sticks on all sides even if it doesnt cover the whole glass? I dont mind as long as it works well with a case.

Speaking of which, what TPU case works best with a glass protector. I was hoping mine would go on top of the protector and keep it down, but my current case butts up right against the edge of the protector and lifting it up s tad.
[G2 Accessories] Zarrick19:
It isn't my pic, I just mentioned it to illustrate my problem. After some googling I've found out it's called "halo" effect. The Nilkin one doesn't go edge to edge, but there was still a lot of halo effect which I couldn't stand so I've tryed to refit it, then of course I've got even more dust underneath it, so now it's unusable. But hey! At least I've tryed it's scratch resistance and it's really really durable! Only that fcked up glue or wtf, which is causing the halo effect... :( ahh, nevermind, I think I will try some lowcost glass protectors from ebay.
[G2 Accessories] shaxs:
These dont have glue. The halo effect is because the edges dont lay down due to the screen curve. Nilkin is supposed to only cover the flat part so that the edges stay down. Or atleast that what I read in this thread.
[G2 Accessories] Zarrick19:
Then explain me what caused my halo effect all around the edges of the screen protector, when the Nillkin one doesn't go edge to edge and was fitted perfectly on the screen (perfectly in the middle, so it didn't go to the edges causing halo effect).

nedooo where did you get those cheap ones?

//

Oh, I see, $1,81 on ebay with free shipping.... Really?... And I spent 15€ on my fcked up Nillkin. I should have tryed some of these cheap ones and then apply the Nillkin one. Oh wel....
[G2 Accessories] Ralph77:
As I already explained, either you didn't clean the edges of your screen sufficiently or you got a defective SP from Nilkin. You should take it up with Nilkin if you feel their product was faulty.
[G2 Accessories] diablob:
Hi, I have same experience. I bought this one from Nillkin and same bad corner!

Bad product.
[G2 Accessories] djpharoah:
What's the latest on these? I know on my Note 4 there were companies who revised their protectors to only cover the screen portion due to the curved glass. Are there any confirmed on here that are these smaller ones that only cover the screen ? I'm looking on Amazon and only one company said they've updated their product due to the curvature of the glass. The rest have such generic stuff as their description.
[G2 Accessories] 1ackass:
I just applied Nillkin a few days ago and no halo's for me so i don't know how you applied it so badly :P
[G2 Accessories] diablob:
I applied like in manual. Nothing special. Normal foil no problem, glass H9 bad edges.
[G2 Accessories] diablob:
H9 Nillkin its normal size. When will be more little not problem, but edges on my G2 not for this. Bad thing is that Nillkin nothing say about this problem. I bought about 1week from ebay.
[G2 Accessories] txv0:
where did you get your no name tempered glass? looks like it has no halo at all and goes to the edge
[G2 Accessories] nedooo:
I bought it in local retail store. I just googled for it. But it was way way cheaper in store (about 3 Euro)???

This is the one:

http://m.ebay.com/itm/0-25mm-9H-Tem...-G2-D802-Ultra-Oleophobic-2-75D-/121291192573
[G2 Accessories] txv0:
Thanks, I will check it out. I did not know there were 2.75 D tempered screens. Would that make it feel more flush with the phone?
[G2 Accessories] tandeh:
With nilkin try steam bathroom installation all those I done outside this method were bad, I've done around 5-6 so far
[G2 Accessories] djpharoah:
Bought one off eBay that was advertised ss being smaller and not going edge to edge. Came in yesterday and nice Halo around the entire thing and it was 0.42mm thick...so there's absolutely no give.

Still looking...
[G2 Accessories] bidzer:
Thanks for the update. Bought the zero lemon one today. Hoping it's as good of a product as their extended battery. Will report in when I get it installed.
[G2 Accessories] nedooo:
It is first time I saw that it says 2.75D rounded edges :)

Later I saw Xiaomi Mi Note has 3D back glass so it is evolving LOL

All I can say it looks and feels great ;)
[G2 Accessories] djpharoah:
Had the same issue with my Note 4 until one company (iCarez) came out with a thin tempered glass that is like literally the screen on the phone wide and it was perfect. I want that on my G2...
[G2 Accessories] Jonatino:
Do any of you guys recommend phantom glass?
[G2 Accessories] Armadillo123:
I've quickly skimmed the last 10 pages or so and there doesn't appear to be any SP that everybody likes?

Xtremeguards have 91% so I was a bit tempted by their Spartan protector, but not even sure if it's that good, although it normal price appears to be $60 :eek:

I have never used tempered glass, is it much better than wet protectors? I'm not too worried about drops - I think my Case-mate tough case will take care of that. I'm more worried about it getting scratched by my keys or coins in my pocket. Would tempered glass still be better for that?

The wet protector I got from Gadgetshieldz looks as new on my Nexus 4, after like 15 months, so I wanted to see what they offered for LG G2, but their website is down. Only temporarily I hope.
[G2 Accessories] Zarrick19:
So I've received my "first" low-cost ebay tempered glass screen protector about a week ago. Very cheap, fast shipping, nice packaging, but unfortunately the film protecting the adhesive side of the screen protector was a little bit peeled off, tryed to fit it on the screen, even though the halo effect was present again, the corner where the protecting film was peeled off just didn't stick and it was already full of dirt. So the chinese dude said he will send me one more gratis and will personally check if it's alright. For 1,80€ nice support!

Anyway, even though I was applying this glass protector in the same humid room as my Nillkin one, somehow a few dust particles still managed to get beneath the screen and the glass protector. Did it in the bathroom just as I finished showering. Ahh, I will try it one more time, then I will go with some of those wet screen protectors, I don't have nerves for this...
[G2 Accessories] BouncyEgg:
After going through the entire thread... which was exhausting... It seems only the Glass-M and iLoome brands stop short of the phone edges and thus don't have the so called "halo" effect (raised glass at the edge of the phone effect).

Anyone correct me if I'm mistaken? Have any of the cheaper ones been proven to not have the halo thing? I want to get one and would sacrifice screen coverage to not have that.
[G2 Accessories] weseason:
I tried Glass-M not bad edge problem. some report from internet.
[G2 Accessories] siggey:
too small does not cover the entire screen

Applied nillkin tempered glass. And it has halo effect. :crying: any good protect that cover all screen without halo effect?
[G2 Accessories] 1ackass:
I applied nillkin glass, no halo :p
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
From where did you brought? Post link plz
[G2 Accessories] 1ackass:
I just bought the cheapest ebay nillkin glass, in particular this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321637957449
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
did u get halo effect ?
[G2 Accessories] joel.nordin:
Nope, but replaced it with a Nilkin glass recently and it is really worth the extra money for the Nilkin glass. Better scratch resistance, almost no fingerprint-stick and no glue lift-off at all.
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
i currently installed nillkin but have halo effect on all four edges . did u have same ? if yes did dirt go in that gap ?
[G2 Accessories] joel.nordin:
Nope, can't find any flaws at all. No gaps, no halo. Were you able to clean properly before instalation? I had to clean with multiple cloths to get my screen clean.
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
which model u r using ? i m on AT&T G2 . i brought two nillkin from two different seller still its giving halo effect :rolleyes:
[G2 Accessories] joel.nordin:
D802 unbranded.

Hmm, that's weird, I ordered mine from EBay (China).
[G2 Accessories] tandeh:
After installing 5-6 nilkin, I've found the only way to stop halo effect is to steam up bathroom and then do the install as you would do
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
but how can that fill gap between tempered glass and curve screen ?

can anyone explain what steam up environment actually do ? i though its only help to clean dusty air
[G2 Accessories] tandeh:
To gap gets nicely filled with my diztronic case, so if u have a similar case most of it gets filled, steam helps the glue adhere to the screen
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
post some pics :p

I ordered this one.I wil share my inpressions when i get it.

Does anyone use tempered glass protector without a case? I'm asking because I want to know if it will cause the protector to loosen up/peel off while using without a case.
[G2 Accessories] deathbytalkshow:
I've been using iloome ScreenMate FLEX without a case for 9 months and the edges have been vacuum-tight ever since. I installed it after taking a quick hot shower to steam up my bathroom, perfect installation. I've had it inside my pockets and my bag, no problems. The only thing I see but I guess it happens to every screen protector is that dust gathers right on the edges but not under the protector so you just wipe it and it's all good.
[G2 Accessories] evilmrt:
Where can you get that these days? Amazon doesn't even carry it anymore
[G2 Accessories] Ralph77:
http://www.iloome.com/LG-G2-Screen-Protector-Flexible/dp/B00F4IIGMM

Currently out of stock though
[G2 Accessories] ankit360:
:crying:
[G2 Accessories] Ralph77:
That's a real shame. I was very pleased with it when I had it installed. Not as scratch resistant as many tempered glass, but much thinner.
[G2 Accessories] deathbytalkshow:
And I've tried to contact someone from iloome if they were going to still support the G2 but it's been two days and still no word. I hope they continue to, I've yet to see a screen protector this good. I should read the back logs of this thread.
[G2 Accessories] evilmrt:
Odd how these makers are discontinuing the G2 while they're selling tens of thousands of new G2s on ebay....missed business opportunities. :p
[G2 Accessories] krazyfiend:
Any other suggestions of what people would choose as close alternative to the iloome's screenmate? I like the thinness aspect of the Flex, sad to see it can't be had anymore.
[G2 Accessories] TC93:
I recently got a Sojitek LG G2 tempered glass from Amazon. Unless they sent me the wrong one I would recommend not buying this. I knew the protector would be smaller than the phone, but I was not expecting it to actually be smaller than the display screen itself. What is worse is that the opening at the top for the speaker is way too large. The opening extends roughly a 1/4 inch BELOW the top status bar on the phone. That is totally unacceptable to me.

I tried to get this information from one review for his LG G2 but he never did reply to me. If he had I would have never ordered it in the first place. Now I'll be out the $5 shipping charge and the cost of mailing it back.

I'm waiting for Sojitek to reply back to me to find out if they did send the correct model to me. The package has no model number on it, and it looks like a generic design that they probably sell for multiple phones.

EDIT:

Just realized something on the Amazon web page for this item. Apparently according to Sojtek, this protector goes on upside down, which is just as stupid as it then covers the ear speaker. Even their own photo shows it covering the ear piece. What a joke.

[Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/ijaAbpv.jpg)
[G2 Accessories] deathbytalkshow:
How did I miss your post, I'll never know. :silly:

So they'll still support the Nexus 5 but not the G2. Makes a lot of sense. :eek: I better get another screenmate for my sister's N5 before they're all gone. I can't even find one for my G2 on eBay.

I'm going to buy this one for now http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Pr...20305&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=lg+g2+H8+tempered Some are reporting the edges don't hold but it could be they're not installing it right or their phone cases are lifting it. I'm hoping that won't be the case for me.
[G2 Accessories] siggey:
Only an idiot can make a screen protector like this.

Linkdream Glass Protector

Hi

Anyone tested Linkdream Glass Protector with the coloured edges?

Cant post link because im new.

seems like a very good idea with no halo for sure
[G2 Accessories] TC93:
I posted one now. I emailed them twice about how it covers the speaker is unacceptable and they never replied about it. They just replied showing me their photo. It makes me angry because I most likely will be out most of what I spent on it.

I bought a different one off ebay for $5.49, but found that its too big with my Bugdroid case on. I read that tempered glass screens are made smaller so that they would fit in cases.
[G2 Accessories] TC93:
I did end up installing this second screen protector, mainly due to the seller sounding like I would have trouble returning it because he wanted proof that it wouldn't fit.

But I got it on almost perfectly centered. It looks good on the phone, except its what I figured that its a little too big with my blue bugdroid silicon case on it. It pushes up on the glass in one corner. I tried it with a black bugdroid case I also own and that fits a little better for whatever reason but it will push up on the glass if I press hard on one side of it.

The glass feels nice for smoothness. I want to keep my bugdroid case though, as the video on youtube showing him dropping his g3 with the bugdroid case on, did a good job of protecting it.
[G2 Accessories] bar_rodoy:
Hey. Does anyone here use XtremeGuard's tempred glass on the D802. They have versions for AT&T, Sprint and T Mobile and another one for Verizon. Will one of those fit the D802?
[G2 Accessories] =dgim=:
Guys, D801 and LS980 and D802 has, for sure, exactly the same size of screen ? I have excelent tempered glass (Imak) for my D802 but with covered proximity sensor.

Lollipop, unfortunately, has much sensitive prox so I need to buy another glass (btw I have also little spider in the corner) I see nice offer for another Imak's glass, with uncovered prox, this time but for D801 and LS980.

I see on LG's site (US version) that this sizing is the same as my in D802 but I want to have certainty befor I buy it.

Mocolo tempered glass for LG G2 : does not stick on edges

Hi,

Thank you all for these reviews.

My quick review of Mocolo tempered glass (0.33 mm) :

Applied in a scientific clean room with no dust, hinge method : disappointed because it does not stick on edges. See pictures.

Lots of fingerprints also, hard to get rid of.

No problem with protection so far.

I will probably try the Nilkin one day, I hope the Nilkin will leave less air gap on the edges (?…).
[G2 Accessories] zuzuzuzu:
I tried two different tempered glass types... and the same result : the edges were the same like yours..
[G2 Accessories] Okiba:
I just installed Nillkin after few people recommended it here on the thread. It feel pretty good to touch, but all edges does not stick well, and if I look closely I can see a small bubbles all around the edges (see the screenshots closely). Is this a common issue with the LG G2 D802 and Nillkin (I heard it's curved)? or did I apply it badly ( I doubt it, as it's all around the phone). Perhaps I received a fake product? (I order it from EBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321637957449).
[G2 Accessories] shaxs:
Unfortunately due to the curved screen, I think this is normal. Mine did the same, but it was still the best of the screen protectors I could find.
[G2 Accessories] Okiba:
Thanks! It's good to hear I'm not the only one with that problem.. I was worried because my wife has some cheap screen protector (same phone), which actually covers more area of the screen (slight bigger), and while it does have a some of the edges issues, the edge issues is much thinner, and is not being presented on all sides. Perhaps it is something to do with the flexibility of the tampered glass.
[G2 Accessories] murok9042:
I have unfortunately the same bad result like you have Okiba.

After putting a case it helped a little bit because the edges of the case do a pressure to the tempered glass so it hold it to the phone.

I will upload a photo what I mean.

Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
[G2 Accessories] murok9042:
Here is a picture with an applied tempered glass and the case.

On the left side the untouched area is bigger - dont know why. The case covers a little bit on all sides especially on the left and down side.
