Removing the protector does NOT void your warranty. I've confirmed like this 100 times with Samsung support. It USED to void it with the Flip 2 but no longer after the Flip 3. NOTE: Your warranty WILL be void if you cause physical damage to the phone while removing/replacing the stock protector.
What can happen if you remove it the wrong way?
Can you actually peel the screen off as well as the screen protector or something, what would happen?
There are no Flip 2 bro 😂
What do you mean by stock protector? Do you mean the protector that comes with it? What is the difference between the protector and the stock protector?
Removing the screen protector does void the warranty, I have an inside man at Samsung who has told me this since I bought a Z Flip 4.
@@Aximili technically, the z flip 5G is sorta the z flip 2; but officially yeah there is no flip 2, only fold 2, but they evolved the same so if you were to replace the word flip with fold it would still be relevant
Thanks a bunch for showing just how easy it is to remove that damned thing. Mine started lifting at the center bend, it bugged the hell out of me because it was VERY noticeable especially when watching video or gaming. Now it's gone and I can enjoy that beautiful screen again. 🙂
How's it help up so many months later?
@@bigtuna97 Well, I had an issue with some discoloration in the middle of the screen and sent in for warranty repair. UPS lost it so they reimbursed me full value and now I'm going to get the new Motorola Razr+
How you like the razor? Discol from peeling out the screen
I like it well enough to get the newest one just out.
Screen protector had an annoying bubble in the crease. Was afraid there might be some screen damage while removing the stock protector. Lifted the edge and it peeled off with no problem. Happy with the screen again. Thanks!
did u replace the screen protector?mine got bubbles and removed the stock screen protector
@@nojiko7069 I didn't replace the screen protector. With the clam shell design I think you will ultimately end up with a problem with any screen protector you put on there.
How's your phone tracking?
So what did u put on afterwards ?
Wow this worked! Make sure your nail isnt too long or it wont peel off! Either freshly clipped or a little bit of nail will work. Thanks!
Thanks for these tips, I've had my galaxy flip 3 for 8 months and it started bubbling where it folded and it's pissin me off but then again I don't want to risk damaging the screen because I'm not insured.
Is it worth the risk or not? because it's not a contract phone and won't be replaced.
Oh thank you. I thought my screen cracked. Removed protector. 😊
For those wondering, the screen protector constantly has issues. It bubbles where the phone folds. Ive had my flip 3 for a year and already the screen protector bubbles twice. Most people give up and just remove it all together.
I have had my flip4 since august and i havent encountered any bubble. I'm changing the protector because i damaged it by accident.
@@thisaintvlex i got like since august, and literally 6 months later i heard a crack in the middle, massive bubble
@Mustafa yep. Just had that happen on Monday, the crack sound was the screen protector peeling away from the screen
Just got off the phone with a ubreakifix manager and he said his solution to this for customers is to just peel it off. Supposedly the bubbles can get so big that when you go to close the phone it'll break your screen somehow. This phone has been more of a hassle than I wished it to be.
Yeah my Flip 4's started coming off on it's own and it made me panic, since I'd never had a nice phone before I thought I broke it lol Happy know that's not the case and I'll just go get a better screen protector then cut it in half to avoid this problem in the future lol
taking off the screen protector will not damage your screen but definitely you will get more scratches. I decided to keep screen protector on my z flip 4
common sense tells me that this video was made to make people aware that the film can be taken off in case it's over scratched, and it needs a new one. Are you in a stating the obvious contest? Of course screen gets more scratches without protector lol
Thanks. So easy
Mine has a slice in it where the crease is. Its about a half inch long. No idea how it started. I hear samsung will replace ot for free but you have to put ina ticket and send them the phone. Or take it to a local samsung dealer if there's one near you. Pretty concerned about this because i baby the phone and was surprised to see the screen protector slit open.
Does the factory screen protector interfere with swiping and sensitivity of the screen? I have been having problems with tapping and swiping and was concerned that the factory installed screen protector (I think factory installed anyway - I bought the phone from BackMarket - excellent used condition requested and paid for) might be the culprit. Any input there? Maybe my fingers are just too dry?
No it doesn't until it starts lifting and cracking. Before that I had no problem with screen. Mine is cracked and lifting at the fold. So I went on Amazon and saw one that has high ratings I'm going to purchase. I came here to see how to remove the factory one. You may just need to replace yours with a higher quality one
From where you downloaded that beautiful wallpaper?
Hello, any suggestions on how to fix minor annoying scratches?
Also any suggested screen protectors that won't damage so easily? I had my screen protector changed twice and i don't wznt to give up on my Z Flip4.
Yeah I also want to know if you can get off any minor scratches, I had the Z Flip 4 for less than 2 weeks and it already has little scratches, weird cause my fingernails are really short so I don't understand why.
How do you remove it? Mine just keeps bubbling up..
Thank you
I have a question what ids peeling of for me is the outer protector the ones on the side and I do not know what doooo it just keeps peeling
You're supposed to remove the outer protector as soon as you get the phone. Those aren't meant to stay on. The only one you're supposed to leave is the screen one.
When I get my Z flip I’m not going to take off the protectot
Just peeled mine off cos got a bubble with dirt under. Was super easy theres no way youd damage the screen. Going without the protector for now
Just got my zflip4 a few weeks ago and the protective film started lifting on its own on the fold line. Super annoying. Idk whether to take it off or let it come off on its own
did u remove it already?
What did you do in the end an How's it going?
What did you do? Mine started to come off 6 months after buying and now has a huge bubble where it bends
@@valentina7115 I sent mine back to Samsung but what a joke that’s been! Dpd failed to collect the phone saying I wasn’t in. Then had to get them to come back out and they came a day early. Phone was away for a week or two and now it’s back with me screen fixed but the rubber bumper bits in the corners are now missing! Samsung have redirected me to the company who repaired it and I have heard very little back from them! Will never buy a Samsung phone again
Why remove it I just added my glass screen protector over it to strengthen it and it's fine double protection
Which screen protector did you buy?
Because the reflection it adds makes it even more fugly?
I did that not knowing one was already on there. Nice to know the engineers thought about it and included it as part of the phone. It is still very odd to me that phones are so valuable and fragile that you can't even use it in its true original state if you want it to remain like new. I really like the feel of the phone wihtout a case and all that extra stuff.
Does the screen scratch easy with protector off?
No since it's folded so you won't scratch it.
Will you install Whitestone Dome?
I did a whole screen protector video , czcams.com/video/9jXNMSA6Zco/video.html
Do you actually need a screen protector or can you use the phone without it. My factory screen protector is horribly bubbled along the whole length of the crease,
Its folding phone so absolutely not required. Screen is protected every time you fold it so the only thing that could ever damage the screen would be your fingers so tap lightly haha
Is the phone just fine to use without the protector?
Yes but I wouldn’t, it can scratch very easily because it’s only soft plastic.
I've removed mine and phone looks brand new again as there was mark in the middle. Thank you
Did you buy a new protector or just use it without one
@@Miguel-xc6vw used without its fine
Good luck, trying to get a screen protector back on better than the one you just pulled off !😄
Already done 👍🏼
Done it with my z flip 3. No issues. Upgraded to the flip 4. Gonna do the same once this cheap plastic one cracks. Easy to do when you know what you're doing. Screen replacement isn't hard to find.
@@tricklee31st97 what kit did you buy for your 3? Mine has a crack in it now.
@@brandontreu8483 they're discontinued. But I tried the non glare kinds. Don't think it's fit for you? 🤷🏽♂️ but don't be afraid to try any. Basically any screen protector is fine. Cause the one that comes with it is a cheap flimsy plastic protector. So you can basically use something similar to that.
@@tricklee31st97 What screen protector do you replace it with mine is terrible at min
Fingernail did not damage the screen
Does the screen protector in flip 4 needs to be changed for like every 5-6 months?
It shouldn’t unless you damage or scratch it up.
@@HighTechCheck i heard that due to constant folding and unfolding it's develops cracks and bubbles in the centre?
@@vidhusharma9452 definitely makes bubbles thats the issue im having everytime the store replaces it for me, thankfully its for free but sure is a hassle to always come back to them
@@iRonkzxy every how many months you changed it? Samsung change it free?
@@germanviavattene4831 not sure if there's a Samsung store near me, we got a Store or bookstore as they call themselves their name is Jarir
They got this thing where If you made them apply a screen protector for you and there's issues with it they will replace it for free everytime
I'm replacing it weekly as they are kinda bad at putting the protector on my z flip, I love this device but I think I will trade it in for the s23 ultra in the future
Why remove it if it functions OK?
To make the display more responsive and have less distortion and more clarity
@@ChumpChangeIndustries what? Dawg this phone is clear and fast af
@@brendenoleary1453 i took mine off anyways tho. No regerts
@@brendenoleary1453 really makes the phone a bit brighter too because the screen protector limits light no matte how clear. This is because its a piece of slightly thick plastic that is dispersing light in along the sides and in front of it. Thus limiting the amount of light that hits your eyes.
@@ChumpChangeIndustries -- More responsive? Zero issues here and even then there is an option for more sensitive feedback for the event you're wearing gloves or something and that option is built into the phone. Stupidest response you've had yet
I just put a screen protector over it. I don't want to risk damaging my phone that I've had for less than two months.
The screen protector will crease eventually
@@bobthesponge3377 Yeah, I actually and to remove the factory one and put a new one. Samsung expected me to send it in to replace the screen protector and be without a phone for 10 days. WTF, really?
@@ghost-type I’m going through same issue T-T
@@bobthesponge3377 😭 it's a headache. But I was able to get a 3 pack for cheap and will just swap them out when necessary
I think you might have damaged the screen with your fingernail because I see tiny indentation on the actual screen on the corner that you pulled the screen protector from. I can see it when I pause the video and the light in the video is reflecting off of your phones screen. Pause the video at 1:49, take a screenshot and zoom in on the corner where you peeled the screen protector.
Idk what you're talking about if you start at 1:44 --the bezel width and rounding had always been notable to literally every device with S series rounded corners since the S8 if you looked that intensely. The OLED has zero damage. All areas lit have zero pixel irregularities and that irregular corner is, again, ubiquitous to all rounded corner S series as the OLED actually is square and simply cropped with film on those edges. Note series since the EOL 7 that incorporated rounded OLED design (not to omit the Note Edge prior to the Alpha and S6 Edge) but kept the full square top of the natural panel design. Nice eye for detail, though, and hope you have examples or can find examples of literally any S series device besides the flat panel abnormalities before S22 Ultra and S7 non-edge.... you'll see the it with the same keen eye for detail.
Also one of the reasons I started disliking the S series devices after the S7 Edge for not having squared screen and then even later literally using software to crop the screenshots to match that stupid, stupid design rounding the corners. Love the rounded edge as I have used the edge launcher since the Note Edge, but the actual corners being rounded for zero reason has bugged me since then and I worked for them at the time, laugh. Just couldn't get behind it, still bugged me on my S20 Ultra, and was glad to get back to square with S22 Ultra. Got the Flip4 as my personal device and again back to these stupid rounded corners, laugh. For the record there is screen under that blackout, they don't cut the panel round. Same as there is extra screen under the ribbon side of the screen and why for a few gens we had a smaller bottom lip bezel with a higher top. They can't get dimensions straight to save their life
@@j.ballsdeep420 I am not sure what your comment has to do with my comment. I am not talking about the bezels.
@@stamatispelekanos650 I'm Indonesian and not good in English, but I laughed when you reply the comment from @J. But after all, why remove the standard safe from factory if it for good and safe the thing. Anyway it will loosen the guarantee isn't it?
@@adrianlaksmana3280 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quick reminder: if you just bought yours, you have 12 months to change it for free on Samsung Stores, so if you want just replace it don't worry about doing this yet.
And where do you find a samsung store lmao
Great, now this shits gonna be like a scab until I just do the same
Lmfao they told me not to touch it or the lcd would be screwed and that it would take 4 hours or more to replace it !!!! If I can replace screens , mics , and cameras on iPhone I can ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY handle this !!@@
just rip off with a straight tip for spliffs...
If samsung was just smarter to invent a foldable glass protector by now the fold series could even last way longer!
I love all the foldable glass we have in the world
@@j.ballsdeep420 tell me which 😂
Doesn't need to be glass. Doesn't need to be a screen protector either. Just something is resistant to minor scratches like fingernails. As foldables are right now, I think the screens are just a bit too sensitive for that. They don't need to be as scratch-resistant as the latest gorilla glass phone screens, just resistant enough to not accidentally scratch with normal usage.
Does anyone else have issues with the screen going black after you open it? Is it a software thing or a hardware thing? 🤔
Google it, it's not a me thing 🤡 but it has not happened recently after i removed the screen protector
Why would u take it off? Mine was great, kinda soft and spongey, unfortunately I poked my screen , fell off a table, I did take the original one off , then replaced it with screen protector I bought on Amazon, cannot get the damn thigs on straight! Always over one edge! I'm so pissed I ever took it off! I've bought 5 replacement packs! Yes 10 total I've gone thru! So frustrating
do not follow what he says. The fingernail will damage your phone screen.
Mmmm I see no damage, highest resolution at 1/4 speed.
You gotta be careful. Apparently you weren't.
Cut your fingernail regularly to prevent that from happening. You scroll with your thumb, not your fingernail.
I removed it from the top left corner and the it just peeled off. No damage.
Stop with the nonsense john le
I don't recommend doing this. You're taking a chance of destroying the screen. The screen protector he pulled off is part of the screen on the phone. About his phone screen started messing up a few days after.
My phone is still working perfectly fine?
It's a flimsy piece of plastic wtf are you talking about lol
This happen only in Flip 1
@@lilyvmax6642 it is funny. But Samsung always makes it sound like you're destroying your phone. And or voiding the warranty. And I do agree lol.
@@HighTechCheck Good to know for the future. Because around the edges of the screen protector on my z flip phone is starting to show small dust collection around the edges.
Thank you for this video! I've had my z flip 3 for a year now and noticed this HUGE bubble where it folds in the middle😅😅 I did what you did and slowly pulled it off without any damage to my screen 🎉🥹🥰☺️
after 5 months, is the screen okay?
My z flip 4 is starting to bubble, although is very very small I can see it getting more noticeable in a month, I guess we'll see
Wow, is it the original film that came on the flip?
Mine started Monday and as of today, Thursday, it's very noticeable and ugly. Pretty disappointing tbh.
@@AlicesMazduhs Mine started about 3 months ago and now is a disaster. Soooo sad.
@@valentina7115 Mine started today. I just took it off because T-Mobile, my provider, gave me 2 options that I am not happy with. My phone is only 10 months old and I owe 14 months of payments still. T-Mobile told me I could make a warranty claim and I will be sent a REFURBISHED phone. I don't think so. Or I could call Samsung and they will replace my phone. No thanks either. If it's the same screen protector then how do I know this won't happen again in 6-10 months? I don't know. I just keep the phone closed so screen doesn't get scratched.
