Screen protector water performance - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm quite sure I'm going to take the default screen protector off soon but I'm just wondering if it effects how the Z works with water on screen. For example I'm able to spatter the screen with water, like rain, and still navigate menus and type. Will I still be able to do this?

Thank you, but I'm already following that thread, I'm asking something different.
I don't mean whether I might break the waterproof seal, but whether the bare glass works as well with raindrops on as with the protector.

Let me answer your question this way ...
I never put any display protection foil on the X8.
Since I'm a Android user, and now allow me to pull a analogy to a iPhone related story, I'm not brain-dead enough to stuff my phone into the pockets of my pants together with the car-/house keys (was actually a story about Steve Jobs doing exactly that and then throwing a fit at the engineers because - lo-and-behold! - his iPhone had scratches; who would've thought that!?).
I only used a pouch for the X8 while I had it in any of my pockets - and the same goes for my SGS Galaxy S II ... inside a fitting pouch when running around with it.
Not a single scratch on the X8, not a single scratch on the SGS S2, not a single scratch on my tablets.
I have been using the same proctection sticker that came on it from the box and always kept it in a lether pouch witch I bought in the same place and time where I bought my phone. its been a year - only the red cover seems to loose it shining.
I used a screen protector for a month, but when it became dirty and whit that air blebs, I remove it and then I realise.. oh my screen is awesome and never back to screen protectros. My right pocket is own by my X8, nothing else.
Surpirisingly, I put my X8 in my pocket with coins and it doesn't get scratched! xD
And do you use protective foil cover?

I have a gel case for my x8. I used to have screen protector. But I took it off and realised that my phone looks better without screen protector. It is in my pocket with my wallet my keys (may I remind you I am a kid not an adult its just I got my house keys cuz I went to secondly school and I come home earlier) and maybe some coins. I don't have a scratch. I don't use any foil either

Q> Pre-installed Screen Protector

Hi guys,
What type of screen protector is pre-installed in our V? Because the water does not stick with the screen. I will replace my screen protector because of scratches hehe Thanks.

The original one is shatter-proof sheet. And it provides mediocre protection IMHO. It's very likely to scratch that's why I took it off and installed Zagg's screen protector. But be careful! If you want to take your protector off, you WILL lose Sony logo as it's printed on the protector!
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
So your phone has no Sony logo anymore?

Yes. Same as me. However I installed Zagg invisibleSHIELD and removed it after a week due to its rubbery feeling. (It's also not dust resistance) Living in Singapore, a dusty city, will cause my invisibleSHIELD to get very dusty and cause my screen to be less responsive. I recommend you to remove it and install those Clear/Glare-proof screen protector.

what if i install a new screen protector on the original one ? what are the consequences ?
I think there are no consequences. It totally depends on you what you will do.
Is there anyway we can but the screen protector with the sony logo.. Mine doesn't have sony logo anymore

[Q] pencil input

Like the z ultra can z1 use pencil input? Or did Sony add something to ultra's screen?
I was thinking maybe turn z1 sensitivity up?

Ultra Z has as far as I know added the resistive touchscreen layer on top of capacitive. so it's a no for Z1 unfortunately. I still hope that there will be available styluses with different levels of presure recognized - something like that for example: www.wacom.com/en/us/everyday/bamboo-stylus-feel
Thanks was some stupid youtube review said sony just turned sensitivity up on screen lol never mind.

Oddly, I've been able to use my Z1 with gloves though it works poorly.

Xperia z1 frame dent

Hello everybody, i droped my xperia z1 and now two corners have a dent on the aluminium part. Is this easy to replace? Prices? Any help is apreciated. Thanks on advance
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
Probably you are the richest guy on XDA to think to replace the aluminum frame. Sorry for my answer, I try to be polite but your question is useless. Is not easy at all and probably nobody will do that, it will cost you more than a new phone. You have to keep the phone like that now. To be sure just go to the store when you brought the phone and ask them. The last chance, if you can't live with the aluminum frame scratched, sell it and buy a new one.

Yep that can be an issue, if some glue broke off or something, be careful

better send it to sony center for repair... frame dents normally compromises water proofing... repairing it your self will definitely compromise water proofing...

The Built on screen protector..

I know this has been discussed before and I have Googled. And searched. But it seems it was discussed that long ago it's hard to find. Is it safe To take the screen protector off that came on the Xperia z without it effecting. It been waterproof or anything? Thanks.

It shouldn't affect water resistance.
its not advised to take off the original shatter proof protector!

Original protector is shatter protection you have to apply scratch protection on top of it and you can change those
