Lumia 1520 Tempered glass problems

Brandon Keenan · Sep 16, 2014

Hey everyone. I got a RM-938 Lumia 1520 from a friend of mine and love every bit of it. The 32gb memory and qi charging are two things holding me back from getting the standard 1520 from my trusty 920 but one thing as of late has concerned me. I bought a tempered glass front cover from amazon and was excited because I've heard good things about these types of protection. However when I got it was a bit too small for the phone which was surprising. The fitment is right up against the top speaker. I had to adjust it because it halfway covered the front camera. Though with that fixed and the speaker unobstructed, I have been having issues with the auto screen brightness and the sunlight readability mode. It randomly goes to the sunlight mode and will often not correctly adjust the brightness. The only thing I can assume is that the screen protector is the problem because it started with this issue right around then.

My question is does anyone else have this issue? I'm running latest 8.1 build.

Some of the adherent from the TG might have got on the screen... Clean the area above the protector well. Try an alcohol prep pad, then dry with a lint free screen cloth.

That's what I thought initially but didn't help. May need to just remove it and get another one

I recently installed the Inskin tempered glass protector and I'm very, very impressed by this one! I just had my screen digitizer replaced and wanted the best protection for my repaired phone.

I used the hinge method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMyZd4W2vVU to lay the protector over the phone, then taped it in place, removed the inner film and carefully placed it down. The fit and alignment is very good, there are no air bubbles at all, and the best part is that this thing has a much, much better oleophobic coating than the phone itself... there simply are no fingerprints whatsoever! Before, I used to feel like I was constantly wiping my phone down.

Another benefit for me is that it is fully compatible with my ProClip dash mount card holder. The protector does not interfere with the tight grasp edges of the ProClip holder like my zagg shields used to. The zagg shields were more expensive too aoround $30 US, but the Inskin is a much better product. I highly recommend this protector!

Ouch!
