Factory Installed Screen Protector? - XPERIA X10 General

So I just took off the peel off protector on my phone and immediately noticed a scratch about 1/4" long on the center of the screen. I was pretty pi55ed since it had to be a factory born issue. So I was about to put a new screen protector on it that I have for my iPhone but I all of a sudden noticed what looks to be a pre-installed factory set screen protector on the screen? If you look near the glass edge, you will see a lip or edge where there seems to be a film placed on the phone. Correct me if incorrect but it cannot be a permanent film as it would not be recessed from the glass screen's edge if it was. So that scratch is nothing but the films surface and not the glass itself then, I hope!

There is a thread or threads already on here regarding the pre applied screen protector on the phone. Yes you can peel this off and yes there is a pre applied protector on it. Some say taking it off increases the response of the screen.

Well sheit, sorry for the additional noob post then lol. Good to know as every other company I have used never puts one on..bonus for Sony. I will leave it as the screen on mine is way too sensitive already!

I wouldnt peel it off if I were u! I mean if it is there it must be for something.

Glass screen with/without a screen protector

As you know the Hero has a special coating on the screen, and through the first few days of use i found it awesome. Finger prints are never really much or a problem. But being afraid that the glass screen might get scratched i put on a screen protector but now sensitivity seems a little ( tiny ) bit less & the fingerprints are quite horrible. So just wondering who here uses it without the protector & does is scratch easily ? Comments welcomed
you do not need a screen protector for glass screen phones, such as the Hero or iPhone. My Hero has been getting a rough treatment for about 4 months now and not a scratch to be seen.
I got one from boxwave.com (Anti glare one)
http://www.boxwave.com/accessories/htc-hero-screen-protectors_3636.htm
It helps with smudges as well.
What screen coating are you talking about? White Hero has teflon coating on the casing which has nothing to do with screen, I believe.
I am not sure that Hero actually has got a glass screen. If so, I think that screen protector is just pointless.
If it actually has got a plastic screen, I would not ruine my phone with screen protectors. Phones are meant for us to use.

Anyway, a screen with very minor scratches is not only more sensitive than a screen with protector, but better looking too. Bigger scratches, well, a protector won't protect from those.
imo a screen protector is pointless...ive been treating my hero rly badly and theres not even a tiny scratch...i can even fall drunk on the road with ur hero in hand and it doesnt break (tested)

theres an anti-fingerprint coating on the hero. Makes smudges harder to get on it and makes it very easy to clean it of. Thanks for the comment btw

i tried it before but didn't like how it detorriate the brilliance of the screen.
I was gonna get a screen protector for mine. But all they had at the time were the universal kind. And I knew better then to fall into that. But its been a week and not a scratch on it. I try not to put other objects in the same pocket and take notice when I'm doing something that may put the phone in danger. Making sure to remove it from harms way. But yeah... I don't think ill fall into the screen protector money pit with this phone. That's my opinion though. I spent a lot of cash on those things. Prolly enough that I could've just used my insurance and got a refurbished .

Yup...more and more touchscreens are going to it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleophobic
i have the white hero and about the screen, i thought there was a screen protector on it already when it came out of the box? doesnt it?
i tried peeling the corners a bit but not too much cuz i didnt want the corners to curl up and not stick anymore, and eventually it'll bug me and i'll have to rip the whole thing off (happened before) so i just left it alone and assumed theres a screen protector on the screen

how does everyone find this concept in practice? In the last few weeks the phobic part of it seems to be failing, or I need to wash my hands more often... just seems to be more dirty finger smudges hanging around until I give it a good wipe with a screen chamoise

Oh the fingerprints will still show up but I just wipe it off with my hand (a firm swipe up the screen) and it's as good as new.
The idea is that the oils do sit on top, but they aren't sticking so you can just wipe them off again.
Yeah i always am able to see the fingerprints but a swift wipe and theyre gone. I also always find that when i bring the phone out of my pocket the screen is perfectly cleaned every time. I like it
Mine has a very small (5mm) scratch. No idea how it happened
I too have a small scratch, about 3mm, in the middle-upper-right. No big deal, but its there if you look for it. It's a white Hero, if it matters.
Those scratches, on the screen?!
I have a tiny scratch on my screen too! It's over the black part next to the branding though so it's not a problem. I purchased a screen protector after this happened though, just to be safe.
I use a screen protector on mine (and a gel case) and I haven't noticed any problems with it being less sensitive.
When I first got the phone (G2) before I put the protector on I noticed the screen looked rubbish because it had fingerprints all over it....
I'm happy to use a screen protector to protect against scratches.... I wouldn't risk without as I want this baby to stay pristine
I like naked gadgets.
To those who got scratches, what type of environment does your phone get exposed to? Keys and coins normally won't scratch hardened glass, but dirt with rocks and sand will.

Who has a Leo screen protector and who doesn't?

I have had screen protectors on every phone I have ever owned and fully intended to get one for my HD2. However, I have had it for two weeks now and the screen is just as fresh as when I got it, as is the rest of the device. And I don't treat it with kid gloves like some do.
Thanks to the toughened glass I genuinely believe this is the first large touchscreen phone that doesn't require protection for the screen so all credit to HTC. I doubt I will bother with one now.

I also do not have a protector on it and it stills looks crisp without any scratches. Another advantage of this screen, although it's a fingerprint magnet, is that it is very easy to clean, especially compared to resistive screens with or without protector.
Not needed in my opinion after 2 weeks of abuse not a single scratch xD
No protector here, I reckon a screen protector would just ruin the silky smooth feeling you get when using your fingers.
That being said a screen protecter will proabably stop your screen being chipped if it acciendently skips across a concrete pavement
ive got a protector on mine, i really can't notice it on, screen still looks hot !!
After a number of reviews, I suppose this device doesn't require additional protection. Try this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcEaehKWr2s
Got a brando screenprotector on it... mainly a force of habit I guess. Just want to make sure nothing happens with the screen hehe.
Haven't noticed any difference in response btw so for now I'll just leave it on. Perhaps in the future I'll take it off again but for now I'm just extra careful.
Apologies for what could be a stupid question but I purchased this device and the SPP300 screen protector as they were in a bundle. Is it true that screen protectors cannot be taken off after installed? I read somewhere that their glue is so sticky that they can't be taken off.
Thank you.
I have a Brando Ultraclear on mine too.
Had some trouble applying it so it doesn't look that shining as it should
I also have a cheaper unbranded version which i will try if i'm sure that no screenprotector is needed.
Removing the Brando will probably make it unusable and i'm not sure if the unbranded version will be any better.
Anyway I haven't notice any change of touch sensivity yet.
Why put a screen protector on??? You may as well have a resistive plastic screen. It's glass chaps, unless you scrape grit and stones over it you will be fine.
I got a pack of 6 screen protectors from eBay in time for the arrival of my handset, used the phone for a couple of days then added the protector and have found no difference in performance. I have the peace of mind that at least there is a little extra protection for the screen, whether it needs it or not.
Why not shell out a couple of extra quid to help protect such an expensive device? It can't hurt....
Used for a week without a protector. Put one on a week ago (just for my own peace of mind) and havent notice any issues in use. Don't notice the protector, screen is still good and sensitive, and display looks just as brilliant.
Would admit that it is a b****er to put on though - and keep the bubbles out.
I bought a screen protector with my HD2 and put it on pretty much straight away and think it is perfectly usable with it on. Plus it's a peace of mind thing too.
Cheers......Mad Jock
I had trouble using the original P300 protector and had to remove it immediately. This started interfering with the proximity sensor on the left side of the ear piece. Although the screen protector has two holes that allign exactly over the proximity sensor yet the screen would not turn on when taken away from the ear.
Before I put it on the proximity sensor was okay and after I removed it was again okay so I blame the protector for not allowing the sensor to work when it was on.

agreed.
glad someone isn't behaving automatically due to lack of information about their device. the HD2 has a TEMPERED GLASS capacitive screen. you will not scratch it unless you take tools to it!
putting a screen protector on the HD2 is like putting GladWrap/cling/seran wrap on bullet-proof glass.

Tempered glass? Good to know.
I put a Brando Anti-Glare screen protector on mine and it works fine. It doesn't block the proximity or light sensor, and is fairly easy to put on. Sensitivity is unchanged as far as I can tell.
Main reason I specifically chose the Brando Anti-Glare screen protector is because it has a textured surface that resists fingerprints waayyy better than the tempered glass surface of the HD2.
Image quality suffers slightly but at least it's smudge-free now

I've scratched the HD2 glass while extracting from my pants' pocket.
I got a tiny little nick on mine within the first couple of days. No idea how - I was being so careful with it too as its the first time I haven't put a protector on straight after unboxing. Its pretty small and doesn't show with the backlight on but a real pain all the same. Bought a Brando protector at the weekend and still trying to decide whether to apply it or not.

Putting on InvisibleSHIELD...

So, I was putting on my InvisibleSHIELD full body armor earlier... but no matter what I did there are still quite a few small bubbles under the screen protector. The sides and the back are fine except for the piece between the headset port and the proximity sensor where it leaves with a bit of space which won't fit perfectly around the corner.
Will the bubbles on the front screen gone after a while? What should I do with that piece next to the proximity sensor?
Thanks!

Did you remove the pre installed Screen Protector?, which imo does a very good job and is the first phone I have owned installed from the factory.
Give it 2 days. All the microbubbles will go away.
I put this on my 17" laptop. It was next to impossible to remove them, but after several days they all went away.
Im still waiting do install mine, the 12hours dry time just makes it a little hard.

Its hard to call it screen protector. I already have few scratches with using the pouch. So from me i can only give it a big D.

Well it's doing it's job then as the screen protector, you will hopefully always be able to take off the factory installed protector and find a pristine screen underneath.
I hate fitting screen protectors myself, they always looks a mess so I am glad that this phone came with one factory fitted.
My factory fitted screen protecting film was set quite badly, it had little wrinkle and couple big air bubbles so I took it away and set the one that came with the phone, its been working good except lately it has start going off from my screen corner for no reason? it just won't stick anymore.
2 3 days and bubbles will be all gone worked on mine..... invisibleshield works really well
If you end up with any larger bubbles or some that don't seem to go away (which most all of them should disappear on their own) you can get yourself a very fine needle and poke as small a hole in the bubble as possible and use a damp cloth to push out the air.
Put one on my old iphone and as soon as i did my dog took to the texture and started chewing it I ended up with a "flap" if you will and even that smoothed out nicely over time. Great product, although the smaller pieces will eventually start peeling off at the edges. Mine is in the mail from Zagg for my new X10. Being very careful with it until then.
Double screen protection
When you opened the box the screen has a film used for shipping. Some have said that this film was bubbled. Than under that film is real screen protector that is already attached to the phone. A second screen protector is in the box and is an extra.
To be clear there are three films to protect the screen.
1) shipping film covering the screen and a screen protector that is attached underneath this to the screen itself. (often bubbled) (easy to remove)
2) the actual screen protector that is already attached to the screen and is under the shipping film. (look very closely and you can see the edge) (will not come off easily)
3) spare screen protector to be used at a later time.
Sounds to me like you boys put a screen protector on top of a screen protector
There was already a real screen protector? like i thought i saw on my htc touch? which was hard to pull of but i did it, after that the phone didn't react to touching anymore, oops! it was the layer of the screen responsible for receiving pressure from touching.. i hope it isnt the same with this phone.. that would really suck

well the touch had a resistive type screen the x10 has a capacitive type.
so peelin of the pre applied on the x10 makes no diff.
but remember the pre applied film is less a screen protector and more a shatter proof sheet which helps to keep the piece of glass together in case the screen breaks..
ok, thanks for the information, now i know it wont kill my phone to take it off, which im not going to do, also then i know i dont have to be worried to death about scratching my screen

so I really cant tell here if you guys have removed the factory installed protector prior to placing the Zagg sheild on or not.
If yes, how the heck did you get it off?? And if no, did it seem to affect the responsiveness of the screen?
I have my protector and I just want to make sure whether or not I should or should not remove the film (protector or not it is frigin on there......tight).
I just peeled of the preinstalled screen protector with my fingernails (i probably have to cut them ). It took me about 30 secs and was quite easy to do. I wouldn't recommend anything sharper than your fingernails. Using your own body is the easiest way, because you have full control of your finger and get a "feedback" on how to remove the screen protector.
My InvisibleSHIELD is drying since 18 hours and I'm gonna wait till it dried 24 hours. I'll tell you in a few hours if there are any differences between a XPERIA with a preinstalled screen protector and a XPERIA without a preinstalled screen protector but an InvisibleSHIELD.
Have a nice day
well I just went ahead and put the screen on right over the preinstalled one, and I must say that I got it on there about as precisely as is possible. No bubbles and it looks great! Also no change in screen responsiveness as im using right now with swype keyboard. Works perfect.
Sent from my X10a using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Ok, I couldn't wait to use my phone again, so I powered it on and in case of responsiveness there aren't any changes with the preapplied one removed and the InvisibleSHIELD installed. I'm even more amazed by the white one now, because it now has some kind of grip on its backside. Before installing the shield it was definitively too slippery.

LeEco Pro 3, anyone using it withou ANY screen protector?

The stock screen protector is rubbing off so I replaced it with a new one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ZTMLG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unlike the stock one, this one is the hard glass. (the stock one is a film).
The problem with this screen protector is that it is a grease/finger print magnet. Ususally I can remove the grease/finger print from the screen by rubbing it on my shirt. With this one, it just moves the finger print grease around. No my shirt is not greasy because I tried it on another phone and it didn't smear the grease around. The only way to get a clean screen is if I use a micro fiber clothe with some water. Also I noticed that my screen is not as bright as before with the new screen protector, especially when using it outdoors.
I was thinking about remove the screen protector all together. Since our phone has Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, it "should" be fine. But before I remove the new screen protector, just wondering if anyone is going bare on the screen and if they have any issues with scratched screen.
Thanks
I haven't had any screen protector on my phone since october. Screen is fine, although I haven't dropped my phone.
I have been using the same screen protector which i bought from aliexpress and i can feel the brightness problem but i am fine with it since this tmp glass removes entirely the ugly black borders from the phone.
I dont know if there is a good color tempered glass which does both.
Just removed the aftermarket screen protector today and going bare. So far it seems fine and resistant to scratches as well. It feels a lot better than the stock screen protector or the aftermarket one. It is a lot brighter and really smooth. Another thing that I noticed is that it is a lot more sensitive to the touch.
Never used any sort of screen protector on my phones. Never a single scratch.
As long as you do not put any other items in a pocket with a phone, it should be fine.
I have tried 3-4 different screen protectors and none of them seem to stick properly. They never want to stick on either (or both) the left and right sides of the screen. idk what the issue is but I've never had that problem on other phones
I'm too afraid to not use any screen protector. The camera lens scratches so easily that I don't trust the glass at all.

I Have the same problem. While the screen protector is ok and protects the phone, it catches fingerprints and the most anoying thing, outside it reflects everything and I can't see very well. I didn't find any matte or anti-glare tempered glass screen for le pro 3. Only iphone and something else. If anyone finds something good post a link please.

It has been a week now since I removed all screen protector and I am happy that I did it. It feels so much better and I can say that the gorilla glass on this is legit. I work in a warehouse and I have my keys and a box cutter in my pockets. I try to keep them away from my phone but when you are moving fast, sometimes the box cutter ends up in the same packet as my phone. So far still no scratch on the screen.
I'm still keeping mine, even if reflects everything because on my old phone covered with full cover, front and back, dropped on a corner of the screen, the screen protector took the fall and broke instead of the actual screen. So better to be cautios.
Mine came with a screen protector (X727), but I ripped it off very quickly. I haven't broken a single smartphone yet.
No screen protector since day one. No case either. Dropped it few times and cosmetic glass around camera cracked. Front screen is pristine, which is surprising since I am not careful with it.

Found these cases on Amazon that provide screen protection. I have used similar cases on other devices and have had good luck in preserving the screen without the use of a screen protector:
kw mobile canvas case
kw mobile cover shell case
Never used any screen protector on my smartphones, since my first Sony Ericson P800 years before the first iPhone were released...
Never broke the screen, had a few small scratches on some of them (not all though), and I usually keep my devices for 3 to 4 years. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 2, the screen is still perfect.
I will not put any screen protector on my Le Pro 3 either...
I was using the stock screen protector which was preinstalled until today. Sand scratched it so I removed it.

Same problem for me.I think its because of the curve of the screen
I got the full coverage one from aliex, no problems with adhesion, but it's an awfull magnet for smudges and fingerprints, and dulls the colors of the screen, gonna run it a few days just for kicks, but I'll remove it for sure.
And oh, havent had a screen protector, not since day one, and no problems, not a scratch on my phone (I do take care of my gadgets though)

I removed screen protector today. Got sick of dust and other sht all around due to corners of glass not adhering properly. The phone looks much better, so far so good.
Just in case try to avoid keeping it with keys etc. Also check this .

S8 Active Screen Defect?

Just got one this weekend. I got a decent glass screen protector. I applied it and noticed lines under the protector form and not go away. It looks as if there is moisture or grease...or maybe adhesive from the dust removal sticker I used on the screen prior to putting the glass on. Nothing changed in 24 hours, so I took it off and the line marks were ghosted onto the underside of the glass protector. And I had to scrub remnants of the lines off the screen itself. I used the second of 2 glass protectors after really cleaning and drying. Same thing.
I took the protector off and cleaned the screen. Upon inspecting, I find that holding the phone on a certain angle, there are ripple lines on the screen. It's like the screen isn't flat (that may be the problem of the lines under the protector?) It's like the screen is wavy..but symmetrical wavy. I've looked at a co workers Note 8 and I dont see this wave pattern on the screen.
Is anyone noticing this or familiar? I am attaching 2 photos. One showing what happens with the glass protector. Then another with the glass off. I had to angle the phone just right. You can see the ripple if you look at the reflection of the white window frame in the photo.
Thoughts?

My screen has similar waves on it when looking at an angle. I think that's just a side effect of the gorilla glass. I haven't used a screen protector on it though, can't help you there...

Ohh boy. You better put something on it. This screen is SO susceptible to scratches, its pathetic. I used the phone for 2 days before my first glass protector came and I already had 3 small scratches on the screen. I had the phone in a felt lined pouch the whole time....never was dropped or used by anyone else but me.

Yeah there's plenty of those marks on it, but only noticeable when looking with the screen off. While the screen is on, it's not noticeable. My main concern is fractures, in that sense, it's sturdy.
