Hi All,

This thread is to add onto the already created thread started by [MENTION=4066277]otonieru[/MENTION], this is not my own work and is mostly due to the aforementioned member. I have also taken tips from that thread from other members, sorry if I don't mention you but if you let me know I'll add your name onto this thread.

Thanks goes to: [MENTION=4066277]otonieru[/MENTION] [MENTION=5759151]Blasembauer[/MENTION] [MENTION=2925132]Mr. Orange 645[/MENTION]

What you'll need

- Tempered Glass Screen Protector (try to get one without the matrix dots)

- Installation Guide - if you have one it makes the process easier, if not it's fine

- LOCA UV Glue (1000mPa should be fine)

- UV Lamp (30W+ if possible)

All in all this cost me under £20, all ordered on Amazon UK.

How do I install the Tempered Glass with LOCA UV Glue?

Video demonstration here:

1. Clean screen, remove dust particles etc.

2. Tape up all speaker & microphone & charging ports, volume & lock keys. Most importantly securely tape up your earpiece! Otherwise you'll run into some low volume problems during calls. Use thick tape if possible (If you have an installation guide from the tempered glass, apply this on top after taping up the phone).

3. Apply your LOCA Glue onto the screen in this kind of shape [ >----< ] [ ] Being the top and bottom screen and >---< being the glue. From my experience I used 'Xfactor LOCA UV Glue 1000mPa*s' and it worked a treat (Bought from Amazon UK).

4. Working from bottom to top, place the Tempered Glass on, ensuring the glue spreads evenly to the edges. If the glue seeps out from the edges just clean it with tissue, but best to do this once the glue has spread evenly across the screen and no bubbles are present. Push out any remaining area the glue hasn't spread to, and push out and bubbles. Take off installation guide if you've used one now. The Tempered Glass can be freely positioned at this point if it's out of alignment as the glue hasn't set yet.

5. Place under UV lamp for 10-20mins. Be careful not to knock the TGSP. I used a 30W UV Nail Lamp that was big enough to fit the whole phone in and it cured within 10mins.

6. Clean up hardened glue with a brush, hardened UV Glue will take some pressure to scrub off so be patient. Use water or Isopropanol Alcohol to aid in this.

7. Enjoy your Tempered Glass with full adhesive :)

If you need to reapply follow steps 1-6 again.

I got UV Glue stuck in my earpiece and the volume is ridiculously low

Method A:

Firstly, try brushing your earpiece lightly with a brush, making sure not to push any UV glue further into the earpiece.

Method B:

Failing method A, you will need in addition to that:

- A Can of Compressed Air, the type you use for electronics/ screens etc (can get one from Asda for £3)

- Isopropanol Alcohol

You will need to soak your earpiece with the Alcohol and start brushing the earpiece. After it's been soaked for 2-3mins use your Compressed Air to clear the earpiece; the UV glue should have been softened and removed once the air blows into the earpiece.

Failing both these methods, you've probably wrecked your earpiece....

I've got Air Bubbles after applying the TGSP

Unfortunately you'll have to remove the TGSP and reapply, following all the steps again, make sure to thoroughly clean the screen using the alcohol wipes & dust stickers.

If there's any other problems/ questions that users have, feel free to post and I'll add it to the OP.
