Hi!
I wonder if the Xperia has something like a glass or a protection layer on its screen so i don't have to buy a whole new display? And if so, do anyone know where i could find these?
It comes with that really cheap factory plastic when you first get the phone
finding actual screen protectors arent really that hard you could find one on ebay
I think i was a bit unclear, i scratched my screen after i removed the plastic protection that comes with the device. And now i wonder if the screen has another layer over the touchscreen that protect it(like the plastic piece over the actual screen that works as the touch on the diamond for example)?
I think so but its either theres the plastic layer or its the digitizer (that makes the touch-screen possible)
Okay, do you know if it's possible to replace it? instead of buying a new screen?

Is the Topaz screen plastic like the Diamond or tempered glass something LG Arena has got?
Really hope its glass, feels better than a Diamond
Plastic I think
Not concrete but I'm %99 sure of this.
It is a plastic membrane on top of glass.
Take out your stylus....
Hold the phone so you are looking flat across the screen.....
Now slowly tap and you will see the screen flex....
If you tap or press hard enough you will hear/feel the glass.....
No matter how hard (don't press too hard though) you will not come in contact with the LCD ever.....
The Efin had a plastic digitizer and it pooped out on me and I recently replaced before I bought my TD2.
That plastic membrane I beleive is what makes it so sensitive.
Might be irrelevant, but the original Diamond had a quartz glass screen, HTC made a fuss about it. But i'm not sure about the TD2.
Plastic, definitely.
I scratched mine just two days before receiving the InvisibleShield screen protector I ordered...
HTC Touch Freak is right. Many devices have a glass-screen.. But with a plastic layer over it.
The technology used on our devices is called resistive touch, that's why we have a vulnerable plastic layer on top (unfortunately)
When u look on your screen from a low angle(and with a bright light..), you see many small dots, distance pieces; they are constituent parts of this technology.
(They are needed to separate the glass layer from the plastic layer/ 4-wire-technology (I don't know how it's called in english^^))

Plastic, mate. Try to scratch it with something sharp and you will see...

Hey, I've been searching around xda, the interwebs and even some iphone forums(glass screen like ours?) for a solution to fix the few small hairline scratches on my hd2's screen. I've already tried tried toothpaste but to no avail. Anyhoo, I've come across this product called displex where they claim it works for the htc hd2 but on the same page claim it only works on plastic screens and to not use it on touchscreens. Sooo anyone have any experience with this product or know if it's safe? Or heck, know a for sure way to get rid of minor scratches? I can't post links since I'm still a noob but google "htc hd2 displex" and it will be one of the top results.
displex and other polishing pastes are not unrisky to use.
I used it on a hardened plastic screen (nokia 6233) and after a long polishing
time (around 10 min.) i've got the scratches out. but now you can see
that the surface is not exactly plain anymore.
I don't want zo use it on my hd2.
the surface coud be glass or an extremely hardened glas/plasitc combination.
You shoud be very careful in use of polishing materials with your hd2 .
dont use it at your hd2. I think it would look worse than before, because, as hellraiser said, its only made for plastic-screens, not for glass.
I read a few reviews on amazon which confirmed that.
Don't use it. I tried it on a magnifier glass for an old gameboy and it got totally unusable.
Ok, thanks for all the replies. Looks like I'll just have to ignore those little scratches then-better than screwing up the whole screen. In hindsight though, the scratches are far less noticeable than the series of dots on the screen so it probably won't be that tough to ignore. Would buying a screen protector make it harder to see the scratches perhaps?
Depends on your screen protector. I tried using invisible shield, which is slightly "gooey" or have a thicker sticky layer, and it filled/covered up the scratch perfectly ! Couldn't see it even in sunlight from several angles.
Only downside was that the invisible shield had a very gripy surface, and slight abrasion was building up on my poor finger. So eventually I changed to a matt screen protector. It has a thinner and dryer sticky layer. But the scratch is visible again. Well, guess it depends on what you need ..
Also, on screen polishing, I really don't think you should try it. HD2's touchscreen relies on a capacitive control to detect your finger. From wikipedia.org under touchscreens: "A capacitive touchscreen panel consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO)". If you try too hard, maybe the the conductor will be rubbed off in the process?
possibly yes. give the protector a try.
But you should use a screen protecor in every case
to prevent more scratches.
i bought one 2 weeks ago and it works perfect.
its nearly invisible an the touch-recognition works perfect.
it was from amazon, but i dont know the manufacturer, sorry
Hi folks,
Waiting patiently for my O2X to arrive to replace my dated Hero... I have had my Hero in a case with screen protector since day one...
So now i'm stuck wondering whether to bother with the same for my O2X?
I know its got Gorilla Glass, but not sure I would trust it in my pocket with keys... and would be gutted if my phone got scratched.
So what does everyone else do?
Check out this video before thinking of screen protector
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt4hi_lIfmI&feature=related
As for case, I have ordered this
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/lg-cch-120-kick-stand-hard-case-lg-optimus-2x-p27952.htm
The image shows two kinds of covers, do you get both or is it just one or the other?. I like the kickstand tho
But I will assume it just attaches on top of the original one or?. But in earnest I would prefer a regular screen protector on the LG's screen, simply because they are easier to keep clean and doesn't take to fingerprints etc too easily.
Be Careful!
Metals can't scratch glass! Never! Not only gorilla glass.. try the "key trick" on your home's windows!
Metals can't scratch glass(but there are exceptions.. like cutters, that can scratch easly due to the small contact area - high pressure on the glass) .. but minerals can scratch so easly glass, even gorilla glass!
And ground=minerals
Okay so I have the device for over a month now and only now I managed to find a screen protector for it. But as soon as I applied it, the bottom part of screen won't respond to touch anymore unless I am touching the metal bezel. So basically if I try to use my phone as it lies down anywhere, I can't. I'll have to pick it up in my hand. I then even tried with a different tempered screen protector but the issue remained. Though the touch works perfectly fine without the tempered glass on.
I understand how capacitive touch screens work but I believe if the touch works fine without the screen protector, there should not be any such issue with it. Is my device defective? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having the same problem in a lesser degree. Since putting a tempered glass, the very bottom of the navigation bar is unresponsive (while I didn't have any problems before putting the tempered glass on). I'm using a cheap tempered glass so it's been my guess that it's not a good quality product, which explains the touch screen issue.
I didn't try another tempered glass since I got used to using the top bar of the navigation bar so I don't know if the problem occurs with all tempered glasses. I bought a couple of plastic screen protectors if I get tired of the problem.

Did you try touching the metal bezel and then trying whether the navigation bar responds aptly or not. In my little understanding, touching any metal parts provides earthing to the circuit and facilitates transfer of electrons thereby improving touch function.
But I have never had any such issues with any of my previous devices.

No, it doesn't change anything. It's the first time I'm using a tempered glass on one of my devices so I don't have any point of comparison.
I don't think the Motorola Service Centre is going to be of much of a help here as the device works just fine without the screen protector on.
Guess I'll have to find some plastic screen protectors and trust the Gorilla Glass 3.
Same with me, putting a tampered glass on made the bottom right portion of the screen very unresponsive, after taking it off, the sensitivity was fine.
Anyone know of a good plastic protector?
I took off the tempered glass and put a simple protective screen and the difference in screen responsiveness is amazing. It feels like a totally new touchscreen!

It would really help if you could tell where you got the simple protective screen from.
No matter the device has gorilla glass 3 protection, but I still don't want to keep the screen exposed.

I just bought the cheapest matte protective screen I could find on Amazon here in France. I don't remember the exact reference, just that it was coming from Germany (I usually buy protective screens made in Germany, I've never been disappointed so far).
Hi everyone,
As title of thread, i Need to know One thing, because i have a big doubt:
Is there an inner screen protection applied from factory, or the thin layer that i can view, slightly upper on the screen, Is a screen layer that cannot be changed? (Remember the inner screen protection gate on the first Samsung fold...? If you remove the protection on fold 1, you break the screen)
I ask this because of you look, there Is no camera hole on this layer, and this has maked me some nervous. I don t want to break this beautiful screen.
Is there anyone that have been removed this layer? Or i must apply my new inner screen protection ON this layer?
Thank you,
Freddy
Nobody can help me to know...?
I applied a screen protector I bought from Aliexpress. The fingerprints are a lot better now since putting it on. I didnt try taking anything off my screen first though. Sensitivity has not been affected.

Which one did you buy, can you send a link?
There's a youtuber gadget goddess she applied a screen protector right on top of the inside screen protector. There is one as I've read it in few places and saw a tear down Chinese video of person removing a thin screen protector layer which kills the screen.
