If you have a screen protecter you just need to remove it!
But if you don't have it you need to change you screen :/

ooh.. That will hurt. I'm imagining that if old nokia phones offers housing for around 30 to 40 bucks, how much will a new housing for x8 cost?

[Q] Screen

I have a question, is there a way to remove the scratches from x8 screen?
My screen really looks bad and the worst part and that makes me trully sick is that it wasn't even my fault! You know when friends ask you to see your cell and send it straight to the floor? That's it.
Would it help if I used screen protectors now? I heard it disguises it.
Thanks in advance!

if am not mistaken the x8 is scratch resistant,see if u have a screen protector on already,check edges of the screen,its better to put on a screen protector

I don't think it has a screen protector, if it does it isn't noticeable. I remember it came with one but I took that out many months ago.
Thanks anyway
I have screen protector from ebay or dealextreme (not sure any more) and it's almost unnoticeable visualy and touchscreen works with no difference.
If phone came with one already on, I have 2 now and have no problem with that
If you want to change it you only need to change digitizer. It's not too expensive. You can put cypres one for real dual touch if you don't have one now.

Thanks! I'll check fo prices of the digitizer. Mine is synaptics (I think it's called that), do you think cypress is better? I know it has errors with some roms/kernels.
Bro,you will have real dual-touch with cypress:>.

Crack on the screen

Well, inspite of the toughness guarantee of the guerilla glass, the screen of my Galaxy S cracked when it fell down. Is there a way in which I can just replace the glass cover of the screen instead of changing the whole display which would cost a lot!!
Any links to where I can buy the glass and the procedure to install it would be really helpful..
Thanks in advance!!
It's unfortunately not possible, you can only buy a whole display&digitizer part :/ ... I heard some guy did it, he heated it and then he somehow detached these parts apart but I think it's not possible to do it at home :/ ... and I don't think it worth to buy that part individualy, I would rather buy some used SGS from ebay, use display and digitizer and then for example sell the other parts ...or buy some broken SGS with screen&digitizer in good condition for noticeably better price

The display and digitizer in our phone is one piece. Sad thing, but it is not possible to split them apart.

Thanks a lot for the responses!! Guess I'll have to go for a new display after all..

I also cracked my screen when my phone came out of my pocket. I can't even use it not because it wont let me unlock the swipe.
how did you determine that you need the LCD also and not just the outer layer which i assume is the digitizer? When you change yours, will you take a vid for tutorial? Im afraid to touch mine unless there is a tutorial.
Thanks
I wouldn't recommend to do that alone if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
It's very tricky to assemble device again and even if you managed to disassemble and assemble it again you could leave fingertips on it or dust and it'll look terrible...
I won't even mention waterproof - no way to do all assembling right without proper tools.
Leave that to experts.
My wife's Xperia U felt down and front screen (digit) broke.
We paid only 200 kn (around 30€) and it was perfect.
Give 20-30€ or $ more, it's expensive device and 20$ could turn into 1000$ damage.

the reason is most smartphones now lcd and digitizer come super glued together, you gonna need to replace both, also i think they only sell the all together.
i still have my acro s so when the price goes down on the set i'll make a video tutorial and post it here for you.
besides the glue and seals the xperia z1 is quite easy to take a part.
oh one more thing, i fix phones and computers for a living

screen not responding after dropped

Hi just dropped my xperia z from about 5 foot height onto pavement and the screen is not broken but it isnt responding to any touch.
Is there any chance it can be fixed without fitting a new screen?

just asked the guy who fixes my phones he said bring it in and ill see, said it could be digitizer which if it is then im ****ed.
had enough of this, broke the screen 2 months ago and spent £150 fixing it and £20 for a broken sensor.
arghhhhh.
Flashed a new firmware on it whilst deleting everything on the phone through pc companion but still no luck.
Im confused here, the phone guy said the digitizer is built in with the screen but im checking on ebay and theyre selling a seperate digitizer.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Touch-S...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1637f583
So if the screen is ok and digitizer broken would installing a new one fix it?
Let me know please, confused and angry,
Apparently the screen and digitiser are glued together, making it extremely likely that one or the other will break when attempting to separate them.

It started working all by it self.
Thank god
Hi I'm trying to find a case that will protect my screen something like a thin plastic sheet my mate has such a cover for his iPhone 5.
Or is there a thick screen protector that someone can recommend?
