Alright so my story is a rather odd one.
Had a beautiful OnePlus One that was running in full glory. But, one day, I had to run to catch a bus. Slipped on gravel, phone was in the hand, landed phone first, completely shattered my screen.
Bought a new, replacement screen and installed it.
Everything seemed to be working great so I applied the last screen protector I had. Alas, a few moments later, I realize the notification LED is significantly dimmer than it used to be. Careful analysis, and I realized I accidentally covered the notification LED hole in double sided tape too.
True FML moment.
But, I chose to ignore it and used the phone pretty much without it's notification LED (it's visible in the dark, but in light, you have to carefully look for it).
Now, I've been using it this way for quite some time, and it wasn't a problem, until I noticed a slight grounding issue.
Whenever I use the phone on my bed (i.e certain angles for the screen position relative to the earth), the screen turns off atleast 3-4 times. This, and a couple of ghost touches. Initially I thought maybe I didn't glue the power button back properly, but I realized that turning the double-tap-to-sleep off fixed this.
Again, it's not something I can't live without, but it's somethign I really miss.
I want to rip the phone apart again, reapply the tape carefully this time and fix the grounding ghost touches by taping the back. My only concern is the screen protector.
Removing the screen requires heating it up quite a bit. Are screen protectors designed to withstand that kinda stuff? How are they applied on the screen? Not glue, I reckon. So, it is biomolecular hydrogen bonding, or vacuum, or what? Any one got any ideas?
tl;dr, need to remove phones screen. Will heating the screen with a hair dryer ruin the screen protector?
