My complaint about this phone, which is the same complaint that almost everyone has (at least on XDA), is that the touchscreen sucks for anything close to fast typing.

Keystrokes get registered as swipes, the phone auto swipes left with Swiftkey which means it erases the last word, scrolling my Instagram feed with one finger causes photos to get auto-liked, holding my finger in Chrome causes the page to bug out, things like that.

Really annoying that the problem isn't software but is a problem with the phone's Synaptics driver. I love that the phone is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade from my Galaxy SIII but the touchscreen is the only blemish to an otherwise great phone.

I know exactly what you are talking about.
Drove me nuts when I wanted to type fast.
Try using the franco kernel. It vastly improved the typing sensitivity.

Can you squeeze out the air bubble? Or maybe theres oil on it and its not sticking, in which case you can try to clean that area on both phone and screen protector again.

Not sure if taking the whole glass off and washing it with water/dish soap will work.. I did that with the plastic screen protectors and it worked, lol.

When I order tempered glass I always order a few coz I know I will mess up lol. If you don't want to deal with it go to xskin in metrotown (right beside sportscheck). They sell tempered glass and put it for you $29 but is lifetime. Say if anything happens to your tempered glass they will replace it for for you free (just have to pay $6 for them to apply it for you). Did that with my iphone 5s yesterday coz there are a a few crack lines on the tempered glass when I drop it.

i try pressing down on that corner and it seemed like the adhesive comes back on as you can see the air being pushed out. however when i let go, the corner lifts back up. im tempted to lift it up and clean it again but not sure if the adhesive is there anymore to stick on. and if i do, im afraid i might screw the whole thing up again and make it worst. i think i might have to order a new one lol.

Maybe the cut out of your phone case is smaller than your glass screen protector, so the screen protector cant actually sit flush on your screen. Thats why you have that corner not sticking down.

EDIT: apply screen protector on fully, then add case over it making sure the case goes over the screen protector edges since it looks like the case touches or is very close to they screen protector.

Try the above, also, is there dust/is it oily under? since its not sticking use maybe tape to get the dust off and clean under. Perhaps that will work.

I reapplied mine three times , and only had some dust collected in the process.

So how many people are rollin with the diztronic purple + orzly?

actually i applied the orzly tempered glass first. i messed up and used that corner to take off the protector and reapplied. on the second attempt, thats when it wouldn't stick on. i gave up and put on the case afterwards.

when you reapplied, did it apply perfectly fine with no problems? if thats the case, i may try to remove it and clean it and reapply. worst comes to worst i will just order a new one and use it bare screen for now.

I did clean behind the tpg and the opo screen. Upon closer inspection I think I fucked up the tpg when removing it for reapplication. It looks bent up and won't stay level or flat to let the adhesive do its job.

No extra ones. Should have ordered extra. The price went up too

I don't have this issue as I use swype, so I haven't experienced the fast typing lag.

I turned off swype, generally not a fan, but sometimes when I type fast, the keyboard would minimize itself. Only complaint regarding that from me.
