I just recently use a tempered glass screen protection but then i can barely detect any wifi network. Does the tempered glass affect the wifi connection? Anyone having the same problem?

There is no such issue. Tempered Glass is only a glass screen protector, it will not cause any software or hardware issues

I can say it is impossible for the glass sp to cause such problems bcos tempered glass screen protectors are made from glass, not metal. It will not in any way interfere with the reception or cellular network. Even cap ayam RM10 pasar malam tempered glass will not cause such problems. Mayb ngam ngam it so happens that your wifi module in your iphone got problem when u install the glass sp hmm.gif

I guess might be his casing causing wifi signal low reception and then add on tempered glass make it worst.

The new tempered glass design doesnt serve the purpose to protect iphone 6 screen. The coverage of the glass is not to the edge of the phone. The edge of ion glass is the weak point.

Im not sure about the brand of it but its a normal tempered glass & mine is in gold. i don't have the picture. The back tempered glass might be the problem along with the bumper.

Are you sure? you should check your wifi connection first before assuming your sp causing the problem.

got it from other website for those wondering.


"It looks like the product you are using has a thin metal film under the glass. That's probably what's causing your issue. If it's paint it could still have metal oxide in it."

I doubt that your tempered glass is the cause, the iPhone has more chances of having a wifi issue instead

Means there is no point for Glass Sp or any SP for the iphone 6 and 6+ screen?
