If UV Tempered Glass is risky, just install this UV-Film... the UV glue is strong and the film is not easily lifted by any cases due to buffer around the screen edges,,, the oleophobic coating is the best for film-type screen protector...

Is this uv film magnet fingerprints?

Walked in and picked up a S23 from SenQ yesterday for my wife. Luckily still got in-house stock for both the phone and the free watch so that I don't have to make a second trip. Got some voucher but only accessory left was that silicone case with band, okay la.

Immediately went to Sakurazz to get him to install uv glued tempered glass for the new S23 and replaced my cracked TP on my S22U. Awesome service by Sakurazz as always.

Why use UV Glue TG? The s23 is flat screen and any brand TG can be used easily. right?

Hi guys,  I went into an accessories shop to apply tempered glass. Unfortunately, while applying it, the UV glue went into my phone's volume button, and my button now is not clicking like normal. sad.gif
Can I claim warranty for this?
*
That is my worry all the time about UV tempered glass. And I know the Service Center will open up and check, if found glue inside, you cannot claim warranty.

This is risky to install UV as some accessories people also hand gun make mistake sometimes.

Oh God.  It affected my call now. cannot hear sound properly. I'll need to go back to the shop and file a complaint. sad.gif

I suggest you dont do anything with the shop now. Since they have messed up your phone, dont go back else may further harm your phone if you ask them to fix it.

I will suggest go to Samsung Service Center, ask them to open and do clean up for you. Maybe they charge you rm100 to rm200.. but you dont have other choice.

Thank you all for the input. I went to the Samsung service centre, and they quoted me RM1.3k for the repair (I needed to change the whole LCD and the whole edge).

I called back to the accessories shop. They said they have a technician to help me fix it, but they do not need to disassemble my phone. 

What should I do now? Bring back the accessories shop?

Wow ... check with other samsung service center... maybe other center can help to open and do some clean up only without replace the LCD. Some center never think twice and straight ask you to replace the LCD. Unless your LCD + edge part already damage.

You also can check youtube who has dissembled the s23 ultra. Then you know which part needs to be replaced. Some center may just con you directly so check with others and see.

I just watched the youtube

I think dissemble to do clean up is impossible. That's why samsung straight ask u replace the whole thing to avoid nightmare after.

What the accessiories shop offered to help you fix? You really must know what they going to do. If they dont tell, dont let them do. You let them do in front of you.

Now only volume button not working? If yes, just rely on soft key to control volume and continue to use the phone.

Hey guys, I'm lucky. I visited the Samsung service centre at The Mines. They were able to clean the glue with RM100, and it works fine now. The glue blocked my speaker, microphone, volume button, and pen. 

Lesson learned. Read the SME terms and conditions. Samsung does not give a warranty for glue-type screen protectors. I trusted the accessories shop because I applied the same glue screen protector to my S21U and S22U and have had no issues. 

I'll be back to the shop if they can compensate me for their mistake. 

I'd rather not stick any screen protector moving forward. not worth the hassle. Just get any casing that would protect the screen. 

Take note. Samsung does not recommend any type of liquid screen protector, and the screen manufacturer should stop producing it. The service centre told me this RMA liquid screen protector issue reported everyday. 
*
Still consider to go back to that shop? Are you sure?

You are lucky enough for good samsung service after sale.

I would suggest you dont go for any uv glue anymore.

Never use any SP since S6e... I did bought one SP for my IQOO Neo3 5G which did not come with any Gorilla glass certification.

I hope that phone manufacturer go back to using matte plastic or aluminium back. I think I had enough with phone cases.

I salute you. Without any SP, your s23u got any tiny hair scratches?

Or you dont care about that...?

If anyone of you plan to install the hard wear fibre UV sp. Please avoid it, strong discourage on this. And it cost me RM95

Suppose I am choosing between x.one ultimate and this one. Then the seller told me hard wear will be better and harder. So I take his advice. And they said I am using spigen tough armour which the case quite thick so that cut case friendly for me.

here comes the cons
1. The case friendly cut - it didn't reach the curve at all. So when u are watching the phone, can see the edge of the screen protector which trigger my OCD and so ugly.

2. the olephorbic coating is bad, it is full of fingerprint and can't easily remove with fibre cloth. U need to apply and some pressure and wipe few rounds to remove. But the FP is back the moment u touch the screen.

3. Due to its case friendly cut, the side all collecting the dust sad.gif

4. price is at high side, now I kind of cannot than it and feel like peeling it off but the think of the price I had paid so I fall back

pros
1. it is quite hard, my phone was fall tot with me on last week and not much scratch on the sp

2. consider quite smooth touch compare to those RM20 sp from Taobao.

Thanks for sharing. This will be helpful and great reminder.

Respect you .. ya... really no need to worry too much else no fun to use phone. I totally agree with you. Is very good learning from you.

Just installed it also, oleophobic coating reli the best for the price point. Installation also very easy... Nice to use! Tried alot protector the oleophobic coating usually very weak 😅

Wow .. Good feedback. What is the purpose of UV? Not sure if it is easy to remove when we want to replace. I worry the UV will make the adhesive hard and not possible to remove.

Is it thicker than Ringke Wing? Or exactly same?

2. Oleophobic coating are much better than previous niklin.
3. Proctection film quite soft, so don't put together with hard things
4. Image clarity is clear and there are rainbow effect all over the place.
5. Remove old fingerprint and re-appy, work like charm

Sir, need your advice. After you light it with UV? Does it become harder?
Is it thicker than ringke wing?
Is it easy to remove after UV?

I am worry after UV, it cannot be removed and harm the screen. Or even scratched, residue stayed.

ordered a S23+ from samsung.com a week ago, today still "processing"

any idea how long this usually takes ? physical store didn't have green so thought I may as well order online while waiting for spigen case to arrive.

case even arrived 3 days ago.
*
I see if you order 256G, it showing there already...

"Please allow 2 to 3 weeks (estimate) for delivery."


I ordered the one without this message. It took 10 days to reach my door step. I have to keep calling and ask them to update the status.
Make sure "order placed" must be reflected. Else they take years to process.

I asked them why 'order placed' not reflected (just see 'processing') on day 4th .. then only they said they glitch issue... the moment they fixed the glitch.. then I can see progress everyday.
