ED2O9, thanks for the write up. I'm now in the process of accumulating the materials to do the full adhesive glass protector.

Just a caveat for anyone doing this. I spent 2 hours going through all of the V30 TG screen protectors on Amazon. All of the clear TG screen protectors without the black borders sold on Amazon ARE NOT FULL COVERAGE protectors, but instead are cut narrower in order to avoid fitting issues over the V30's curved edges. Props to ED209 for doing his homework and pointing the way to the appropriate screen protector that works for the full adhesive application which is the Dooqi TG protector sold on eBay.

However, one caveat: Dooqi offers 2 types of TG screen protectors on eBay. Read the item descriptions before buying. Links are embedded.

1. Dooqi Full Coverage 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector Saver for LG V30 - This is the one to buy. As mentioned by ED209, the cost is $8.79 for one screen protector. This one has curved edges and provides bezel to bezel screen coverage.

2. 3X Dooqi Premium Ultra Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector Saver for LG V30 - Avoid this one. This one is cut narrow and covers only the flat surface of the screen, leaving the the curved edges uncovered and exposed. For the cheap price of $7.79 for a 3 pack, it's very easy to be tempted into clicking the Buy It Now button. Don't do it.

Interesting! I just put a whitestone dome on my son's V30+ - quite successfully I might add. He's using a Tech21 Evo Check case, so I knew the whitestone was compatible (see YouTube install video by the "naked" guy). Plus I didn't want to wait 2 weeks for the HongKong based alternative to get here. My son carries his phone in his pocket, and the edge adhesive option wouldn't stay in place for him.

Anyways, I have the extra tube of adhesive from the whitestone, so I might order a piece of glass and try it on mine!
[LG V30 Accessories] ahlexkim:
Hey, thanks for the guide.

One thing I also did to help with the process - I used a hair dryer after I put the screen protector on the phone (before the LOCA was fully spread out on the phone).

This helped lower the viscosity and make it easier for the LOCA to move around. I used the hair dryer directly above the middle of the phone. (With the phone off of course).

Edit: Also, you can use the screen protectors with the black borders. Acetone (nail polish remover) does a great job at removing it. The adhesive comes off in one piece just by picking it off with your nails. If there's any residue left, acetone will get that too.

This is the one with black borders that I used, and it worked great!
[LG V30 Accessories] unimatrix725:
Excellent post, thought it would be boring duh ?like. NOT! Very informative. I saw on the page for Dooqi Glass a feature is Anti-UV protection!? I assume this adds more cure time..? I thought 10mins was excessive, but using w cheap light could explain.

I actually bought a kickass (seriously bright) LED uv/black light strip on Amazon for about 20$. Has a USB power source, decent length cable, LOW&HIGHT, and assume a extension port.

[LG V30 Accessories] ahlexkim:
I used this one and it cured in about a minute. Did it extra to make sure it would stay though https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MJI8OCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is it possible to apply your solution to this TGSP

Hi,

Thank you for this detailed procedure.

I'have already ordered a TGSP that cover the maximum of the black front face of the phone since I dont care about case-friendly aspect. But because it have the black edges, do you have a solution to apply the LOCA with this one?

The issue with the edged one is it because the extra glue will not be able to flow outward? Or just because the UV will not work on the edges? If it's because of the UV, is the original glue on the edges PLUS the LOCA glue on the screen should not be an alternative?

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07B2NRTXH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
Almost every curved glass I've seen has a black border. While I haven't tested it, I would think that the black paint would block the UV lamp and prevent proper curing. I've removed the black paint from the glass by using Goof-Off Pro Grade or a similar solvent like acetone. Just be careful around plastics, since these solvents can melt them.
[LG V30 Accessories] oglaolga:
Sticking just with original black band glue on the edges and LOCA on the screen is not a viable solution according to you?
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
No... why would you do that? The LOCA glue would prevent the adhesive strip from sticking to the screen. Just peel the strip off and use LOCA for the whole screen.
[LG V30 Accessories] bravo261:
Thoughts on the viability of cleaning and reinstalling the protector? Mine installed great except a darn bubble that cured in there....didnt want to keep moving and pushing the thing around. Overall, this setup feels great though!
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
It can be done... with a little care. I got a tiny piece of hair under the glass on the first attempt. I could only see it in certain lighting conditions, but it still drove me nuts. I cleanly removed the glass using a thin plastic card around the edges while dripping isopropyl alcohol into the gap. Cleaning the cured LOCA glue was a bit trickier. It came off pretty cleanly using Pro Grade Goof-Off, but unfortunately I had the glass sitting on a towel and pushed down too hard to remove the last of the glue and cracked the glass. So, it's certainly do-able... just take your time removing the glue and remember that it doesn't take much pressure to crack the glass. Good luck!
[LG V30 Accessories] waddball:
Thanks so much for this. I've ordered the supplies and am going to try this method. I have a couple of questions:

1. How do you safely and cleanly remove the adhesive from the dooqi glass? I'm worried about scratching the underside and/or introducing dust.

2. Doesn't your squeegee method (assisting the flow of the glue) create opportunities for bubbles? The InvisShield and Whitestone use lower viscosity and zero pressure (gravity only) for a reason.

3. Do you feel any need for the InvisShield triangle sponge? It seems like it would help lower the glass evenly, but I'd worry about dust. Not using it, though, you have to handle the glass more, risking the pad of a finger/thumb under an edge.

Thanks again! Really looking forward to getting this done.
[LG V30 Accessories] Ballroomblitz:
Has anyone else tried this method? I'm thinking of doing it myself, and would be happy to report back on my experience.
[LG V30 Accessories] waddball:
So I tried this last night, and it didn't go all that well. Cleaning the dooqi glass was a pain, as I feared (I had Goo Gone gel, but it didn't work all that well; there must be better stuff out there). But the problem was keeping everything clean during the transfer. My first attempt left a little piece of fuzz dead center under the glass (I think it floated in and landed on the pool of LOCA while I was doing the "last clean" on the glass). Second attempt I discovered a nice scratch on the glass that came from my cleanup after the first run, *and* a dust particle, *and* a small fuzz or hair. I apparently live in a dusty, fuzzy house. :o

None of which is to criticize the method itself. The xfactor glue is a little thicker than I expected, but the hair dryer trick noted earlier in this thread was great, both to reduce viscosity and put a gentle, even pressure on the glass. The couple of corner bubbles were simple to work out by slightly lifting the affected corner a few times.

The only thing I'll note is that using tape to cover the speaker hole is...not ideal. There's very little edge for it to stick down, and the LOCA can creep under. I think maybe my next/final attempt I may try blue tack.
[LG V30 Accessories] Ballroomblitz:
Thanks for posting man. I just bought all the required items yesterday evening. I'll post my experience with the process when I try it.
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
You should be aware that Goo-Gone and Goof-Off are two very different products. Goo-Gone is an oil-based mild solvent and can be used on plastics. It leaves a lot of residue behind, so you'll spent almost as much time cleaning the Goo-Gone off the glass as you would for the left over adhesive. Goof-Off is acetone based and dissolves the adhesive faster and cleaner. It will etch plastic, so be careful when using it, but is works great on glass and evaporates quickly. I'm honestly a little surprised that you had difficulty removing the adhesive strip form the glass. I just picked at one corner until I could lift and edge up, then the rest peeled off cleanly with only a small amount of reside left behind.

I agree that there's not much for the tape to stick to around the speaker hole, but I've always be careful to avoid putting any pressure on that area and I haven't had any glue run into the speaker after multiple applications. You might want to cut a tiny piece of paper towel to stuff down into the hole to adsorb any glue that might leak in.

The first time I tried this I got a piece of fuzz under the glass too. I think it's because the glass becomes statically charged if you keep wiping it off. I try to clean the whole work area with a damp paper towel and wash my arms and hands before I apply the glass. I also have anti-static wipes that they sell for computer monitors. You can get them at Best Buy or Office Max.
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
1. As stated in the post above, use Goof-Off or a similar acetone based cleaner. Don't use Goof-Off. It will take a while to clean if off the glass. I was able to peel most of it off like removing a sticker. Using light pressure and some patience, it should come off in one piece.

2. I haven't tried the hair-dryer method to decrease the thickness of the LOCA, but it sounds like a great idea. Just make sure there are no bubbles in the line of LOCA to apply to the phone, and there won't be any under the glass since it flows from the center out.

3. I thought the same thing about the sponge... not a good way to avoid dust. The last one I applied, I skipped the sponge wedge and just held the edges of the glass and lowered it slowly. If you want to have something holding the edge up while you position the glass, you could probably use an upside-down teaspoon in place of the sponge.

Good luck!
[LG V30 Accessories] waddball:
Just wanted to follow up on this, both to thank ED209 for the helpful replies, and for anyone still debating this method. I tried a third time, and learned a few more things. I think the acetone-based cleaner is a great idea; certainly Goo-Gone (orange-based) is not.

My final attempt used the last of one tube of LOCA. As I pushed it out, the final bit was filled with a bunch of bubbles. Ugh. I did the best I could removing them (sliding back and forth, poking with syringe tip), but some micro-bubbles that I could not see were left in the LOCA. Sigh.

On a positive note, the hair dryer method works! I was worried I had too little LOCA (my guess is about 2 ml), but patience and "pushing" with the hot air worked it all the way to the edges. A little corner lifting on two corners and I was done. Also, with so little glue, no worries on the speaker as there was basically no excess to wipe off.

Curing was trivial (maybe 6 minutes or so with a cheap amazon UV flashlight), and it's been rock-solid ever since. I've learned to live with the tiny bubbles, but obviously next time I'll use a bright flashlight or something to make sure there are none.

Anyway, despite my misadventures, I recommend this method. It works. Just be a bit more methodical than I was!
[LG V30 Accessories] AvroeArrow:
Thanks for the link, it was one of the few that would ship to Canada. I finally got the stuff last week and did it. The one big cutout at the top is far, far easier to mask than the 2 smaller cutouts of the other screen protectors. I did manage to lightly scratch the inside of the TGSP while removing the black paint with acetone (I used nail polish remover) even though I was just using my hands and paper towel rubbing it. It only shows when the screen is off and the light hits it just right, otherwise it's invisible when the phone is in actual use.

I didn't do the hair dryer trick and really regret it. The whole process not including curing time took me over 1 hour and that was with 30mins+ spent cleaning off all the overflowing adhesive because I used waaaay too much of it. But I got it done in the end with no bubbles or dust, so yay me! Direct outdoor sunlight (not indoors behind glass) also works well for curing it instead of a UV flashlight as long as you watch the glass as it cures in case it starts sliding around like mine did.

That TGSP also fits inside the Spigen Tough Armor perfectly with a tiny bit of space to spare. The UAG case is a tighter fit and will press against the top/bottom edges of the glass a bit so I'll be sticking with the Spigen for now until it's absolutely fully cured.

And thanks to the OP! This was a bit cheaper and definitely a better solution than the Whitedome kit that I almost bought since this uses a curved TGSP instead of a flat TGSP in the Whitedome.
[LG V30 Accessories] bnevets27:
Random tip I learned somewhere. To prevent dust particles from floating around while doing this. Do it in a humid room. So either the bathroom after having the shower on or a room with a humidifier. The moisture in the air prevents the dust from flying around. Not likely a good idea to have the walls dripping.

Currently have a glass screen protector covering like 70% of the screen because its flat and the sides never held down. It's pretty brutal. I'm going to order this stuff to do this method, sounds great.

Looking at options other then the dooqi, due to being outside of the usa. All of these are fully clear. They all say "full coverage" "3D" "edge to edge"

This seems to be the only one I've found that has the same cutout like the dooqi, which means it may be the same.

Cheap, not a fan of the notches but it is better then others

Similar to above, cheap, not a fan of how the notches are

Interesting note on that listing though.

Now I just need to find a supplier for the x-factor that isn't crazy priced to Canada

Maybe this glue? Having a hell of a time finding something suitable.

Good LOCA glue info

I think I'll just try the generic LOCA 2500
[LG V30 Accessories] GottaStayFly:
the Local glue you linked worked perfectly fine for me, worked with the UV lamp thing that came with the whitestone dome kit. *note* I ended up messing up 2.5 of those sticks because of horrible mistakes, the .5 is because I used half the tube near the edges of the phone so that the loca goes in cause it wouldn't spread evenly (at least for me)

screen protector wise, I used this.. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07B2NRTXH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it covers most of the glass, but does have the notch you don't like, but covers way more compared to the original whitestone glass that it came with.
[LG V30 Accessories] AvroeArrow:
The X-Factor LOCA and the Somi TGSP w/black border that I quoted in my previous post, both will ship from amazon.com to Canada. It was $41.76 USD all in (incl. shipping+import fees) and I got it 7 days after I ordered it. After exchange, it's only $5 CAD cheaper than ordering the Whitestone kit from amazon.ca for $60.50 CAD. This does include 2x TGSP and 2x 10mL tubes of LOCA so I could do it twice if I screwed up really bad the first time (the Whitestone kit only gives you enough for 1 try and the TGSP isn't full coverage). You still need your own UV light and acetone (nail polish remover) to remove the glue and black paint on the TGSP.

I ordered it from amazon.com instead of ebay/aliexpress/etc because I didn't feel like waiting 3+ months for the stuff to show up. CanPost has not been good to me recently, they lost 3 of my packages last year and 1 of my China packages took 9 months to show up. 9 months. I did pay significantly more than the OP but I got it quick, so I just think of it as opportunity cost like my old Econ prof used to say. Price, quality, speed, pick any 2.
[LG V30 Accessories] bnevets27:
Thanks for the responses. Glad to hear from someone who actually used the product. I'm tempted to get the really cheap stuff from China just to see but at least the local stuff is reasonablely priced that I don't have any issues buying it.

I actually prefer that notch, I guess I should have been more clear as to why I didn't like most of the notches. Only reason is because people mentioned it was harder to work with when applying. Slightly due to alignment I assume but more so taping off those areas. One notch is I'm sure the easiest to deal with while two isn't too bad. And some of those I posted have three and are closed off which would definitely make it a challenge to tape off.

Thanks for that link.

First love the user name, I love that plane. Though I'm curious why you added an e.

I'm not in a rush so I'm completely ok with waiting from China. I already have a protector on and a few spares aswell. They are flat and suck because of that but I've had it on for over 6 months so a bit longer won't bother me.

Stuff like this I do like to try out the cheap route sometimes also seeing as likely most of these things only really cost a few dollars to make. And the local expsive stuff is most often the same product. I'll probably end up with 3 TGSP that look like the dooqi for about 15cad, 5 for loca in Canada and a bit for a uv light if I can't find one I know I have somewhere. Or as cheap as about $2 cad for a TGSP and $2.50 for LOCA. So about $5 cad all in. I'm a bit curious as to the outcome of that. As long as the 2500 LOCA doesn't stick so well it breaks the phone then I'm up for giving it a try.

That's definitely some bad luck with canpost (or possibly China post realistically) I haven't had much bad luck with them lately other then holding a package in customs for over a month, that's right it arrived in customs and sat there for longer then an entire month before continuing on its way, then was left at the post office by the delivery guy for a couple days also. I did actually receive it though. Though the company almost sent out another one for free anyway.

I generally buy a lot of little cheap things from China and most get here in anywhere from actually less then a month to up to 3. If not by 3 then it's considered lost and I usually just get a refund and sometimes the item shows up months later after another one is already on its way.

I didn't realised that the rule of 3 was used in econ also. That gets applied in racing (of pretty much any kind) and cars, fast, cheap, reliable. And manufacturing also. Fast, cheap or quality.

EDIT:

Ordered

LOCA Glue

TGSP

Will update when I receive and install.
[LG V30 Accessories] Douglasquaid:
Have you noticed any reduced effectiveness with the sensors that the Dooqi glass is still covering (just to the right of the earspeaker)? I'd be worried about any screen protector that doesn't take the sensors into account.
[LG V30 Accessories] Deathmeter:
Its clear, the sensors will be fine :)
[LG V30 Accessories] Hisma:
hey I tried this out and unfortunately didn't go as planned. I think I was a bit impatient, and started getting tons of air bubbles. I tried to cover my earpiece grill with tape, but it got gunked up a bit and some loca glue still managed to seep into it. I cleaned it up as best as I could with a cloth, but I guess due to the viscosity of the liquid it was too late. Now sound out of my earpiece sounds a bit muffled. I am worried I permanently damaged the speaker. Now, it's still usable, it's just the sound quality is noticeable worse.

Any ideas? This stuff doesn't evaporate right? Any way to possibly remove some glue that hasn't cured?
[LG V30 Accessories] bnevets27:
DO NOT buy this one: TGSP

They lied, not curved at all. Pissed. Need to find another cheap alternative. I'll look when I get the chance. Glue arrived fast. And these took about 30 days to receive from china.
[LG V30 Accessories] Arcide:
Well I mean, you can clearly see from the pics that it's not curved.
[LG V30 Accessories] ED2O9:
I was able to remove the excess LOCA from the earpiece speaker grill by dripping some 90% isopropyl alcohol into the grill hole. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, then dripped a little more in. I then used a small plastic brush they came with my electric razor (picture attached) to loosen of the glue. I poked the bristles of the brush into the tiny holes on the grill, and also scrubbed lightly from side to side. After that, I used a can of compressed air to blow into one side of the speaker grill, and the excess alcohol on bit of glue sprayed out of the other side. I did this twice, and when I was done the in-call volume was back to normal.

I can't guarantee this will work for anyone else, and there's a risk that you might cause more damage to the phone, but it resolved the muted in-call volume for me.

Good luck!
[LG V30 Accessories] Hisma:
well your method worked great! I found 92% isopropyl alcohol at walgreens, and let a little bit soak into my speaker grill, waited about 10 minutes, and then sprayed with compressed air. I could actually see the glue moving around, and was able to push some of it out of the side! I would say the sound improved noticeably, to the point where it's now decent-sounding. I say I'm restored to 80-85% sound quality (from about 50% previously)... huge improvement. Still some distortion but it's barely noticeable.

thanks again.
[LG V30 Accessories] ankit360:
I brought InvisShield month ago.

But unfortunately accidentally scissor bang on mobile and scattered screen protector.

Lucky I keep my old imak screen protector that has black bar and adhesive on side. After searching on internet I found this back bar is just flim and can be removed. So I started to remove by my fingernails.

Luckily it goes well and I got total clear screen protector.

Finally stick it with spare Loca got in invisible shield.

https://youtu.be/FA11ACWmOfA

It was too risky. As it there was great chance of Loca stuck in speaker. I can even tape it due to precise cut of screen protector.

Loca provided by InvisShield Loca was too great and flow easy even on speaker cutout.

For future i want to buy LOCA but which one ti buy ? LOCA 1000 or 2500 as per this discussion loca 1000 is hard to remove. does any one has experience of removing LOCA 1000 ?
[LG V30 Accessories] ankit360:
Thanks for reply. Used Loca 2500 it's good for tgsp easy removal only downside is it take ~ 30 minutes for spread.
[LG V30 Accessories] Deathmeter:
I just did this and it came out great, no bubbles :D. I used the sun to cure the LOCA since I didn't feel like buying a flashlight. Only now there's some dried LOCA on the side of my phone that alcohol doesn't really take off. Easy and fun project though.
