[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] RaXelliX:
Thank you. That's what i thought. Just needed confirmation. Sticking with Marshmallow for now because Xposed for Nougat is not yet available.

Too bad that i can't get root permissions without unlocking the bootloader. On earlier Sony Compacts there was usually one or two exploits that allowed privilege escalation. I guess Marsmallow is a lot more secure because of the monthly security patches. Im coming from Z3 Compact btw. Skipped Z5C.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] itandy:
I'm on MM too because of the same reason. But you can actually backup TA partition using dirtycow exploit already. Then you can unlock and root your phone.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] RaXelliX:
Yep already done. Installed Flashtool along with patch too and updated xposed related stuff prior to unlocking and flashing. Now im just browsing and deciding on what kernel/rom to use. I guessing the only logical choice is OmniROM.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] realtuxen:
If you do not want to run stock rom with a kernel that have been patched with rootkernel or TA-poc to keep drm functions which only exist on stock anyway heh. I guess you know that. Then the guy who put AOSP 7.1.2 together (@davidteri91) also have AOSP 6.0 builds, you can find it on the afh download link or look to he's twipper thing. Just thought I would add it. Good luck :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] K_esco:
Hello,

I've done this in the past with previous devices but can't seem to figure out how to disable message preview from certain apps like What's App. I have pop ups turned off inside the app but it still shows a preview when it's running in the background. Any fix for this??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] K_esco:
Yea I got it covered for the regular messaging app. But what's app is driving me crazy lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ilordvader:
What is did for now is Set/Notification & set the Popup Notification to - " Only when screen is off "

Only thing is shows u popup when u unlock your phone

But its better than getting Popup Mesg Previews when you Watching Video & doing other stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] K_esco:
That sounds better than how it currently is. Thanks I'll try that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
So who is going to be the first to try it for the S8? If you do can you report in case compatibility as well?

Amazon Smile Link

Link to video.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] logikism:
too expensive!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] steelersmb:
I just ordered one. Will update you when I get it and try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
Ok, I'm intrigued. Please do report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] al_elric:
I'll be getting mine Friday for the S8+. I'll report once I get it installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Ryoma1337:
this is the first time seeing a screen protector getting applied like this... wow. although it is expensive, I would still buy it if it works well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] bigid:
let us know if it lift with different type of cases

Wow all this for a glass screen protector? Looks promising tho

Don't ship to the UK ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Killemalll:
Thanks OP. Ordered mine. I tried Zagg and Gadget Guard curved glasses (both insanely priced around $50) , and although they fit nicely, the touch sensitivity becomes inconsistent, making those screen just a source of frustration. I got rid of them within hrs. Hopefully this company figured out a solution
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nagle3092:
Yeah I am debating on getting it. I've been through 4 glass screen protectors already though and I'm hesitant to spend more at this point. Right now I am running Illumishield maximum coverage aquashield with a commuter and its working out very well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ProStreetCamaro:
I ordered one and will be here tomorrow. My concern is how do you remove it if you want to replace it? That glue they use looks like Bondic. Bondic is a UV activated glue that hardens under the UV light and is incredibly strong. Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Killemalll:
Very good point. Thanks for the info on the glue. According to the mfg, it can be removed., but the referenced scraping method would destroy the LCD glass.

"How can Bondic® be removed from smooth surfaces?

We recommend the use of scrapers. Giving the Bondic® a short, sharp shove from the side dislodges it cleanly from the base. Any remnants left behind can be easily removed with conventional cleaners."

They also mention using chemical agents. I've used acetone in the past to dislodge epoxy off my eyeglasses lenses, and it worked very well. It may be worth contacting them and ask more info.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
When they mention scrapers, my assumption would be that they are referring to plastic tools/scrapers (think drywall spackle applicator). If this is the case, then you would need to be Hercules to damage Gorilla Glass with a plastic utensil.

If you have ever removed paint over spray from glass windows, then you'll understand my thinking. The paints sticks like glue, but one solid push in a single direction removes it fully with no residue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] steelersmb:
After reading this, I may return mine when I get it tomorrow. Not sure I want to risk not being able to cleanly remove it. I usually keep my phones for about a year and then sell them and I don't want to not be able to easily remove this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
Just to clarify, I don't think that it's anywhere near this difficult. I was just responding to the post I quoted who was talking about damaging their screen because the company mentioned scrapers. The protector and all is residue is supposed to be able to be removed with nothing but force, and "household cleaners" if any residue remains.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] EvoKnvl:
Mine arrived today. Haven't opened it. Debating whether I want to apply it since my IQ Shield full body is already perfectly applied. May wait for more feedback or I might get really bored and just apply it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
This looks nice too. I think the UAG Plasma may be a bit too bulky for my liking.

Anyone using the Spigen Neo Hybrid with no problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] californiarailroader:
It does look nice, though it doesn't look like it would provide much protection in a fall, I've had those before, and they really are more cover than case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ah_hin:
after one morning of usage (phone practically just sits on the work desk), one side started to show a silver line of bubbles. Fortunately, it's still outside of the screen area, but I am afraid it's going to slowly crawl over to the screen area....

is this caused by imperfect installation, or is it product defect?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ProStreetCamaro:
I have uag and neo hybrid. They are both very nice and both works great with this screen protector. IMO though the UAG looks, feels and works best. Less gap between screen protector and case with the UAG and on my phone it looks almost seamless.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
Happening to mine as well. I am am thinking about taking it off and sending in for a refund and then try again when more are available.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
What you're seeing is the adhesive being pulled out from under the screen. If not cleaned up well after the first curing process, then the portion of the adhesive that is still protruding can stick to things like your hands and clothes, and ball up. When you wipe away any of this, there is a chance that it will pull some of the other adhesive (under the screen) with it.

Going to get mine ASAP will report back
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ddorsett445:
I received and installed mind today, install went ok, but I ended up with a quarter sized bubble over the home button. It seems there wasn't enough glue in the vial to cover the whole screen which resulted in the bubble. Hoping Amazon will issue a refund and I will be purchasing another kit once the become available again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
So, first off it is working. I've had mine installed for about a week as has my girlfriend.

This is the best solution available for a glass screen that's curved.

Complain or cast espursions all you want.

I'd rather take my chances with this protector that's actually usable vs one with adhesive around the very edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
Amazon will pretty much issue the refund no questions asked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
On the left side of my screen, my protector is beginning to lift. Not caused by case interference either.

I've reached out to the seller to get an idea when more will be available.

The seller has been responsive so far but I don't have my hopes up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] steelersmb:
I've had mine on now for about a week. Installation was easy and it went well with no problems. After a week, no issues at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] acheney1990:
I also have had the same issues. I ended up taking mine off because on both sides chunks were coming out when cleaned it or anything and the visible spots were driving me nuts. At least I know it wasn't just me. I'm sending it back to Amazon for a refund. Thing is I don't know if I should try and buy another one or not...I see people say about making sure you clean it off during the first whipe before you cure it but I'm wondering if this truly helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
I'm going to try one more time. Though I am still conflicted between S8 and S8+View attachment 4140991
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ddorsett445:
Yea other than my mishap with not having enough glue this screen protector is the best I've used so far. I've been using it the the Spigen Neo Hybrid with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
I took mine off this evening. I'm going to give it another shot when the regular S8 protectors come back in stock. I do have an S8+ version here, but I'm not putting that on as if I do decide to keep an S8+ instead of S8, I will be getting the Orchid Grey variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] orrey:
Just got a mail from them:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Moby Dick:
I installed two Samsung Galaxy S8 Whitestone Domes today. Went pretty well. Followed the instructions of the YouTube video to the letter. First one looks great, completely and seamlessly melded to the screen via the adhesive (a vile smelling solution) for an almost invisible application. Second one looks great, too.

They are not perfect, though. The first one developed a small string of bubbles on the left edge just under the curve after a few hours. The bubbles are very small, but clear enough upon inspection. Acceptable. Also, a very small chunk of adhesive is missing from a lower edge, probably from the an alcohol wipe-down after the second cure with uv light, leaving an almost pinpoint small light leak.

The second one's bottom edge and bottom left and right curves of the screen protector are clearly visible against the backdrop of the phone screen (perhaps the same reason one Amazon reviewer said that "the edges of the glass catches the screen light kinda like a LED strip light making it a glow around the screen"). From the side, viewing the screen protector's bottom in profile, it looks like a snow cornice or a cliff overhang compared to the fairly ninety degree cut of the glass at the top of the screen protector and on both the top and bottom of the first screen protector. Maybe I see it because the glue didn't get all the way down there and fill up the space underneath? I don't think so, but I don't know for sure. Inconsistent and a little frustrating, but acceptable for now.

The rest of the second screen protector melded to the screen, and is for all intents and purposes invisible except for the tiny tufts of dust and debris clinging to the adhesive here and there (almost invisible application). Be gentle removing dust and lint and debris for fear of taking out chunks of adhesive resulting in light leaks.

I have not yet activated the phones, I wanted protection first, so I cannot comment on how well the Whitestone Dome works. For the most part, so far it looks and feels great. I'll update after using the phone for a week or two. I do feel that for $45 there should be an extra tube or two of adhesive at least in case of a mistake or failure to launch.

In my opinion, not the perfect screen for protector the Samsung Galaxy S8, but the best one available currently.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] acheney1990:
I wish they had these protectors like they do now but with the black border so it would hide any of the imperfections from dust built up. I keep wanting to try another after taking off my other one that was all messed up and caused light bleed but don't want to pull the trigger and spend the money if it's just going to do it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
These are available to order again on Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] SlyUK:
Anyone from Europe managed to get hold of this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Philou95:
Yes I managed to have it thanks to the site shipito kind but on the other hand you can count the double of price to have it quickly!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Moby Dick:
Update:

I would now consider the first phone's install a failure due to the bubbling getting significantly worse without any use; with the phone sitting on a shelf waiting to be activated.

Second phone's install under same conditions has worsened in the upper right hand corner as the screen now shows the same cornice effect exhibited at bottom. Glue separation? Don't know. I still would consider the second phone's install acceptable.

Recommended with reservations (knowing this is some kind of oxymoron).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] naturecannon:
To those that have had the white dome installed for a while..........How is the SP holding up to daily scratches, scrapes and alike while in a pocket, bag, purse or whatever you choice of carry is these days? .Is the sp getting dull and cloudy from daily abuse? Easily scuffed and scratched?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] ddorsett445:
Mine was holding up great as far as scratches and cloudiness goes. It honestly imo the best tgsp out for our phones right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] nicholaschum:
After a few weeks of having it, have you had any lifting or bubbles forming with the speck case? I'm considering to get it but my Speck case even lifts wet protectors too, which is worrying.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Robert542:
I installed the Whitestone Dome screen protector on my S8 yesterday. So far I am extremely happy with it. Installation went smooth. I made sure to watch YouTube videos a couple of times. The included instructions are terrible. Some people balk at the price but when I think about the small fortune that i waisted on tempered glass screen protectors for my S6 Edge that NEVER worked I'd say it's well worth it. One thing that the videos don't tell you is that you have to make sure that the phone is also level in the tray. I had to push down the top left corner a bit to achieve level before applying the adhesive. So far the only negative is that it's not perfectly aligned. Now I'm not saying it's anything to be worried about or even noticeable to the average person but my OCD won't let me overlook it. I have zero bubbles under the glass. I put my UAG Monarch case on this morning and it's not causing any lifting. I am considering purchasing another incase I break this one. I wish they sold only the protector and adhesive because I already have the tray and UV light. Seems wasteful to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
Mine looks identical now, to what it did when I finished putting it on. No issues with appearance or operation. Would buy again 20 times, before purchasing another edge-glue protector. No comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] squall_kay:
I'm just wondering after remove the Whitestone glass, will it's adhesive will rip out the stock oleophobic coating along with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
I removed mine and there is no perceivable difference between the S8 that had the Whitestone and a new out of box S8+ a coworker had.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] oOBATOo:
They/It still water resistant? Sounds good ty

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] al_elric:
I have not had any issues with it with the case. I am on my 2nd one though because unfortunately while the glass fits well it does not take a hit that great. A small 1 foot drop shattered the screen protector. And it leaves shards of glass so I had to remove it immediately to avoid cutting myself. Good news is that removal is still decently easy for when you do need to remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] chrisbass:
Is that an an edge only adhesive?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] unboxed:
Wait so is it a wet installation because of the curved screen? Not too sure about it but it seems to be rated highly here and I know you guys are critical lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
The adhesive has an extremely low viscosity, so when it comes into contact with the pressure from the glass, it wicks outward to every edge. It's an ingenious method of getting the adhesive to wrap over the curves. Wish I had came up with it first. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] unboxed:
Oh that's clever. The installation tools look useful too, strongly considering pulling the trigger on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
As far as pre-purchase hesitation vs. post-purchase satisfaction goes, this may be the single, best purchase I've ever made. I went in expecting to be let down, but the result after installation is fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Kilokk:
I'll let you all know. I should have it by Wednesday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] whoamanwtf:
For the price though I would expect a warranty if the protector cracks they'll send another. I always bought Zagg before the curved screens and they worked great and if I managed to crack it or anything I could just request another and they sent for a buck (to cover shipping) I would buy this in a heartbeat if they offered that same service.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] subyfan:
I come from Zagg-patronage as well, pre-curves, and if they had a similar product that worked this well, then they would be getting my money. Hard to beat that no-questions-asked warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] oz1421:
That one has some terrible reviews on Amazon btw. Not sure if you caught that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Kilokk:
Yeah, I wanted to check it out for myself though. Not too expensive, so not much of a loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] dynospectrum:
Amazon reviewers are 99% n00bs. Installed correctly this is a top notch glass screen protector.

[youtube]N8nBUAb9x44[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Goronok:
Installed this screen protector on my s8 yesterday. This is, without question, the best screen protector available for the S8 ASSUMING you watch a few installation videos on youtube first and take your time while applying.

Also, do not go crazy with the alcohol swaps removing glue from the sides. This will pull glue from under the proctor and leave gaps or bubbles. This is the hardest step in the whole process to get right, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] sakohunter:
Anyone know the uv loca glue Used? Tp-2500 or tp-2500f? Whats the difference? They are cheap on aliexpress. I'm going to buy the whitestone for the initial setup. But if and when the glass breaks or etc. Instead of buying new set. I will just use the setup setup that came with the whitestone with some new glue and different glass off ebay.

That way I just need to find a good fitting screen. And have in theory the same outcome. Especially if I get into case lifting screen protector problems I can just fine one that fits.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Samzebian:
Installed mine yesterday. Came out nice, some bubbles on the side and in the middle unfortunately. Most importantly, my speaker grille got a bit of the adhesive in it. Now my calls are muffled. I'm going to try to see if it will dry out. I used a toothpick and cotton swabs to remove as much of the solution from it. Any idea how long Samsung earpieces take to dry out?

Edit: this did not dry out on its own, I had to use compressed air after waiting a few days and nothing changing

The Whitestone Dome glass is available now to buy in the UK starting from today :) and here's the link ;)

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/whitestone-dome-glass-samsung-galaxy-s8-full-cover-screen-protector-p63746.htm

I've contacted the Company in China and they responded fairly quickly advising me that I'll be the first to know when it'll be available in the UK and just received the email and I thought of sharing with you guys .... I wish if you can film a video for the application and let me know how hard is it.

Cheers,,,
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] big_b0sss:
£45 for a piece of screen protector not sure if I should invest that money in it I mean how long would it even last
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] lolo130:
The price is the U.S market is £34 so they're really ripping off the UK customers with a £10 margin profit extra than the original market profit that's been applied in the U.S anyway. The worst part of it is that I literally tried to buy one now and I was surprised with a funny message asking me to pay and I'll be notified when the item is in stock which is written Due in a week.

Don't know what should I do really as it's the best tempered glass I've seen until now on all people's reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Oli2k:
20% VAT in the UK, probably what the difference is
