To the proud owners of Xperia T, does the phone come with a factory installed screen protector...
Your reply will help me to save the cost of ordering an additional screen protector...
yes it does
Yes, and the first thing I do is rip it off and don't bother with any, I find screen protectors attract dust and get to easily scratched whilst the main screen is very robust and doesn't get scratched at all....I have done this with all my xperia devices.

LOL...i do exactly the opposite....I use a screen protector but I dont like to put any case on it, as it spoils the aethetics. And to why I use screen protector is, because a scratch on the screen will keep bothering me, even though it wouldnt affect the usage...
BTW, factory installed screen protector from sony are quite good imo.
Thanks Greg and Asterix...

I dont use a case either...I have never had any problem with a scratched screen.
and how's the best way to remove it? It's very difficult, no?

No, just get your fingernail under it near the top centre and pull it off, its a bit more sticky than non-factory fitted screen proteceters, but it does just pull off
Have just ordered mine, and it was the last piece in stock at Clove Technologies....
Should be recieving tmrw in Singapore...
Does anybody have some opinion on the camera app and picture quality difference between Stock and AOSP camera apps...
OK so first off I know I'm a cheap sod :angel:
My SG Nexus got wet and I'm waiting for the LG N4 to become in stock again...
So I've got myself a SG Note off eBay in perfect working order apart from one long crack that runs though only the glass (the OLED is fine).
I've looked into replacing the glass and tbh even thought I'm an engineer, nope.
My cunning plan is to fill the crack with superglue (let it dry) then slap on a zagg screen protector on it.
Any comments or ideas? Maybe lose the super glue? Maybe use something else other than superglue?
All ideas welcome - photos to follow when it gets here.
Just lose the super glue. The screen protector is enough. I would recommend the SGP screen protector maybe even the glass one.

Thanks, I have a long history with Zagg and all ready got one on order. Bit worried about the crack edge creating a refractive boundary hence the super glue... maybe I'll do a run with out the screen protector... maybe I'll stop over-thinking it

I'd skip the superglue since it's vapours will possibly stain the digitizer... In other words, it will make a mess!

Now that is something I had over looked. I had thought the glue would chemically react with anything. Have a digital cookie mate
Also if the glue sat proud when dry even a tiny bit the screen protector wont follow the contour & will have that nasty "lifting" look to it along the crack that you get at edges of screens some times.
I would fit a glass even if its involved, the part is about £15 & if you continue to use the phone cracked you risk pressure on your LCD & that's not cheap.

Thanks, but installing the glass involves separating the glass and OLED and there glued together. You have to heat the glass with a heat gun then pull them apart. I'm thinking that's going to crack the OLED.

That thread is a bit scary isn't it, its one of those jobs where having seen one done & exactly what's involved drastically increases the chances of success but most people haven't got that luxury.
But, if i wanted the phone repaired i would see risking the cheap way first as a worthwhile gamble.
But hope your screen "protector over crack" method works for you.
seems legit.
also, please send us step by step pics.

What about the car windsheild repair kits ? The ones that Auto-Glass (UK) use to fill cracks and chips on car windsheilds ? It leaves no residue either, Its basically like liquid glass until it sets.
worth looking it to surely ? would be cheaper than a whole Screen replacement.

Dam good link. I like the idea of one of those oil. Maybe baby oil would be to viscose (runny) so I'm thinking that a drop of two of that corn sirpe could do the trick... maybe even some wax? I got some clear natural beaswax... I feel some experimentation coming on....

Yeah mine came with both. I think everyone has them.
Some people removed them, but some people say they help with the strength of the glass.
I took my front one off because it got some marks on it... Seems fine without it.
I say: Leave them on until they get damaged (which seems quite easy)

Afaik the Sony logo is on the preinstalled shatterproof protectors and will disappear when removing the front one.
it seems,not only this protectors increases dust absorption and finger print but also is getting a feel of lost slip on screen when i want to sweep between the pages.i think is better to remove this shields if it is possible and dont injury knocks the screen
my q is why sony should be placed these protectors even with using drugonglass in z?!!!is this can a reason for worse viewing angle on xperia z?!!!

Then you're very lucky as the back of mine looks like a multicolored rainbow of oil slick after a few mins use.
Did you lose the Sony logo off the front? If you didn't you likely just removed the second screen protectors and left the shatter proof factory ones on.
Mines almost unusable now as the fingerprints are worse than any phone I've ever owned.
Viewing angles remain unchanged from removing the protectors, you shouldn't spread false info as there will be a lot of unhappy campers removing their protectors and seeing zero viewing angle difference.
I think you'd better not peel them off. These coverings are designed to prevent broken glass splinters hurting people, and hard and stuck very tight with special method in factory. It won't affect display I suppose, trust Sony. It's part of the device. Moreover, since it scratches easily, add one more film on it...
warranty
not sure if removing sony anti-shatter foils does also remove warranty...as you are given foils also in package, maybe read somewhere on XDA
I do not understand why people remove these...
- When NOT removed and If you drop the phone, it prevents the glass splinters from shattering all over the place.
- When removed Sony can no longer guarantee the phone to be water proof, as stated in another topic.
- When removed the phone attracts more fingerprints.
- When removed you lose the Sony logo on the front.
As far for these scratching a lot, I have not put on any extra screen protector and do not have a single scratch yet.
However I do use a leather case, always do that with all my phones.
Used Xperia Play for 2 years aprox, not a single scratch on the pre installed film.
Kind regards, Stefan.
The dragontrail glass is only for durability purposes! DO NOT remove the shatter proof sheet, it protects the screen from drop shocks so it doesn't get broken! Use the supplied screen protector and you will be fine! Unfortunately here in Greece it ships without screen protectors in the box and damn we got the highest price! (€699)
Hi guys, just curious about this, I would like to remove the front screen protector of Xperia Z to get rid of the Sony logo (not hate it put prefer the front to be all black). Would this affect the phone's water resistant feature?
Have anyone tried this yet?
Besides, is the oleophobic coating of the glass affected? From the video below I think there's something wrong with his phone, the reflection looks pixelated

I have done it and it doesnt affect water resistant feature (its a film how can it affect the whole phone?)
the screen have little to no oleophobic feature, your best bet is to buy some rain-x spray it on there or buy another screen protector that have oleophobic property.
I'd leave it alone for the simple reason you'll regret it. I don't see how you could remove it, you can cover it over in some way but it's not going to look good and would be noticeable from certain angles.

It's scratches I'd be more concerned about, which is why I always stick one on top of the factory one because if or when I come to sell it, a pristine screen will get more than one that's scuffed to bits.

it wont scratch, it'll break but wont scratch, I had my S3 in my pocket with keys and coins (not intentionally but when in a rush) it never scratch, Dragontrail suppose to be stronger than Gorilla Glass 2 so it be ok.

IT WILL SCRATCH.
IT WILL BREAK AND IT WILL SCRATCH.
My previous xperia z had antishatter removed and the screen scratched from a sand particle hidden in my microfibre cloth, if you decide or have taken of antishatter film, put on a screen protector as soon as you can. Preferably you should put on a good quality screen protector onto antishatter film. That way you will have constant new looking phone.
Which is what I've done with my NEW Xperia z.
after taking off antishatter layer on my first phone, AIthough i was trying to convince myself that it feels better, and looks better debranded,
Everytime the beautiful nostalgic sony ad came on, and the guy took out his xperia z to take a picture of his girlfriend covered in courfull dry paint. And then washed his xperia z afterwards showing off that beautiful sony logo. My heart would sink ,as I knew my phone would never look like that ever again.

Yeap, i put an oleo sp straight on after i removed it
Not sure how much confidence I have in Gorilla Glass but screen is just over a month old and I see two minor scratches. I babied the hell out of this phone, so I'm not even sure where they came from.
I figured I'd try to "buff" one of the scratches out which worked on my previous phone....not so much here. I used Meguires car polish and lightly rubbed at the scratch. It seemed to lessen the intensity of the scratch but now there is this...haze...where I used the product. If I wipe it away, the phone looks fine. After some use, it almost attracts the dirt/grime and you can see where I polished the screen which leads to me to believe there is some sort of coating I polished off.
Any way to fix this? Should I return it and get a new one?
You definitely polished a coating. There's an oleophobic coating that minimizes oil left behind from our fingers, and it actually also helps in preventing scratches. I'm a little confused from your title. Did the scratch occur while polishing, or did you want to say it's scratched and you want to polish it?

Sorry, it was scratched and I wanted to polish it out. The thing is, there is no evidence of anything until it starts collecting dirt. Otherwise, even under direct light, you can't see any difference.
I'll probably take back...my camera has been giving me issues as well. I'm past the 14 day grace period so I'm not sure what my next steps are.

Like the previous poster said it's oleophobic coating that was removed when you applied the polish. You could reapply it on your screen by using any liquid glass product.
Maybe you can try this? http://liquidglassshield.com/
It's not a real oleophobic coating but it should be practically the same.

Well I polish my screen too, screen protector and I get the same effect. Polishes do that, and they do that on your car as well. They're meant to protect metal so applying it to glass will give you a haze and, not attract dirt but the oil allows it to stick and it will show off more.
How do I know this? I used polish on my windshield. Same tthing. Try to wash it off lightly with soap. The other comments may be right but I think it's mainly the polish that did that

Possibly, but the bare glass underneath will still hold oil like crazy since the olephobic layer is gone there. I use the Oakley hydrophobic lens cleaner solution on my screens that don't have a coating and it works quite well. It definitely makes it easier to wipe oils off and fills in very minor scratches. Of course it's not as good as the gorilla glass coating, and the biggest problem is you have to reapply it once every couple weeks if you are using the screen frequently. Maybe the coating recommend earlier in the thread is better?
I guess alternatively you could just go the extra step and wax the screen... Vehicle wax is pretty good at repelling things but the polish does nothing like that by itself. Not common but neither is the situation

Hmm, true haha, don't use armor all wax, it sucks! Nufinish maybe?
Hey hey, why not get a screen protector? I've gotten one from eBay that's flawless 3 weeks after getting the phone. At least that way, you won't have to worry about the screen anymore; you have a new layer.
Plus the scratches will keep coming. At least when you have some on a screen protector, peel the film off and get s nee one - gone forever. What do you think?

Also, about gorilla glass being easy to scratch, its really still like any other glass. Stuff like sand will still scratch it.
My last phone had GG and I found out that my earring (quartz mineral stone) left little scratches on it, nothing else scratched it though. And it lived in my pocket daily for about a year with no case or screen protector. So GG isnt all that bad, it just wont protect against EVERYTHING.

Haha I'll probably buy one, on sale for me here. Yea I can understand, but the key is to keeping it clean all the time. I have an idea actually, first thing would be to have a lint cloth with u always but if you can get your hands on "stoner invisible glass rain repellent" from a store. I heard about it somewhere in Xda and it is AMAZING. use it for ur car too of course haha but put just a dot or 2 on your screen protector, buff it and you'll never see oil and fingerprints again. If u do, it will be after a couple of days perhaps. It's amazing. Buy it for your car but use it for your phone too

Or get the Spigen Glas.t and never have to worry again. Oleophobic, and actually rated tougher than Gorilla Glass itself

Yeah I actually use that stuff and it is awesome! Never used it on anything but my vehicle though... It's mostly acetone but it does leave behind a repellant coating. The acetone will react with some plastics of screen protectors, but you may be on to something here! Honestly there isn't a better glass cleaner out there :thumbup: maybe even using the Oakey stuff on a screen protector?

I ended up scratching mine too. I thought having a flip case would protect my phone but, I constantly clean my phone screen. I'd say about 10-15 times a day. And just once, there must have been a bit of git or sand on my cloth and it left its mark I have a screen protector on it now. Covers it up nicely.. but knowing it's still there annoys the hell out of me lol

Yeah I actually use that stuff and it is awesome! Never used it on anything but my vehicle though... It's mostly acetone but it does leave behind a repellant coating. The acetone will react with some plastics of screen protectors, but you may be on to something here! Honestly there isn't a better glass cleaner out there :thumbup: maybe even using the Oakey stuff on a screen protector?
This thread has taken a funny turn lol

Hahaha yes it has! Ebay is your friend, lots of great protectors. Just don't buy zagg, terrible.
Yea you could try it, why not? Not sure how it works, never used it, but as with anything you will apply on a screen, because with a touchscreen you're poking and rubbing, it will wear off in a few days. 2 more mins of your time for 2-3 days of clear screening, works well o think

I ended up scratching mine too. I thought having a flip case would protect my phone but, I constantly clean my phone screen. I'd say about 10-15 times a day. And just once, there must have been a bit of git or sand on my cloth and it left its mark I have a screen protector on it now. Covers it up nicely.. but knowing it's still there annoys the hell out of me lol

^^^ This! This is my worst nightmare... I baby the hell out of my phones and, like you, I clean my screen all day long. I just don't stand smudges and finger prints on it so I use my eye-glasses cloth. And every time I use it I closely inspect it so as not to have some sort of debree on it that could damage the screen... I know, its crazy... All this cleaning and inspecting takes up tens of minutes of my day
Pardon if I'm talking about another product but as far as I know RainX is a brand of wiper blades lol! You clean your screen with a wiper blade?

Lol yes.. but they make a spray treatment that I spray onto a rag and wipe it down with. Leaves a nice slick coating that resists finger prints and I hope scratches a little
