Hi,
Yeah ok I haven't searched if there's a thread on this (if so, don't worry Mods I'll close it). Quick question,
Those with the white Sony Xperia Z, Do you use a case and screen protector? I'm worried my XZ will change color in my jeans or black trousers... I'm particularly worried in the sides. Sony's quality is much better than HTCs so im just worried as im an ex HTC user.
Am I just worried over a silly matter or is it a problem?
Edit - They give us a screen protector... Do they know something we dont?
Thanks all.
Just got it today and im looking to port Sense 5.0 to it

I've not seen many white XZ around Rome. But from what I've read on some forum that the only part slightly sensitive to external colours is the plastic around the glass. But it can be removed just washing it, nothing permanent seems... :good:
For my white Xperia Z i use front n back screen protection and Spigen ultra slim case...result. In perfect and like New condition peace-out :beer:

That's because there is a factory-applied anti-shatter film on top of the glass which is easier to scratch than the glass is (obviously), so they provide the screen protector because of anticipated higher demand of it.

You can rest easy on this one. I've had mine since the day 3 launched it on their network. No screen protector and no case, although I have a Poetic stand type case for watching videos but that's only been used twice, and not a scratch on the glass or a colour out of place. The only thing I would say is watch the plastic trim around the sides, luckily on the white one its hard to notice but of you drop it a few times the surface comes off.
Mines been dropped off a ladder at work onto concrete, fallen out my pocket whilst mountain biking and been run over by another bike, it's been pressure washed (although the little water sensor things did all turn red at that point) and it's been stood on.
I've never seen a phone that holds up this well to abuse since the old Nokia 3310.
do you still have plans for sense 5 port?

Remove the screen protector that comes factory fitted with the phone. I have done that with all my xperia phones and it makes the screen miles better. Furthermore, I have found that it does not attract as much dust

That's a good plan, it may well be that screen protector. I'll replace it with a different one see what happens.

Just try near the top centre, once you have a corner up it pulls off easilly enough.

I've been taking a can of dust off air to my phone like twice a week. Especially around the bevel... works well.
I now have the same problem on my new Pixel 7 Pro I bought like a month ago. It's screen is dusty whenever I get it out of the pocket no matter what pants.
Searched everywhere and can't find anything useful. My first guess is some kind of static electricity. I've tried:
• anti-static screen cleaner
• letting the battery die and keep it uncharged for like half a day.
• a bunch of different jeans/pants
• even tried vaccum cleaning my pockets and trying to pick up anything that's impossible to see with human eye by a lint roller and duct tape.
Putting on a screen protector film or tempered glass would be my last resort.
After 30 minutes in pocket it looks like this. It's really embarrassing when I have to get it out in front of other people. Also attaching a photo of my pocket so you don't think they are messy or smth.
I just bought a new Xperia z, few hours later my kid scratched it.. He never told me until I found the scratch... What a waste.... Is it a bad screen...??? Never found scratchesin my Lumia 920!!!!

Your son scratched a plastic surface.
Take it off, buy a screen protector, and replace.
The xperia z has a glued on anti shatter film that you can remove and replace with any screen protector of your choice. The only downside is that you lose the Sony logo
Press thanks if I have helped
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it's only the anti shatter film. But if you do remove it you will loose the Sony logo. Some people find that a plus. Also some reporting more responsive screen.

This. This is my guess. Sony doesn't have a history of cheating so I doubt that's the reason now.

In another forum, a guy said he was part of screen technology, which because it is thin, it would be impossible to press the Sony logo.
He had posted a picture explaining!
Yeah really hate the fact the Sony logo is pressed on the film. It's the only reason why I haven't removed mine. I have a hard enough time already telling which way is the right way up. Just hope we don't see another omnibalace design from Sony. The bottom bezel looks much bigger than it should be.
I prefer on screen buttons but I thought that was meant to help reduce the chassis. Maybe Sony was absent at that meeting because the Z is certainly taller than it needs to be.

If you look closer, you'll notice it has symmetrical proportions, so i guess sony guys had that on their minds... ZL is living prof that extra dimensions are here just cause pure esthetics. My only complain... they could have put larger battery also then...

I cant find anywhere on the net if the xperia logo on the back is pressed into the glass or the 'shatter-proof film'...the reason I ask is that I have protected my screen, but the back has small scratches. Ide hate to loose the xperia logo in an effort to renew its original luster with a new film...anyone know?
The Xperia logo in thw back doesn't come out while removing the film.

Check with your country's sony store if removing asf does void warranty before removing it.
Since Sony doesn't want people to remove the screen protector is there any type of anti fingerprint coding on it? I mean If I remove the screen protector will the screen be nice to use or will it just get all smudged in fingerprints that are impossible to remove?

No coating, just straight glass...but I'd recommend getting a matt finish (anti smudge) screen protector if u are going to remove.. Or unless ur screen is already scratched, simply apply it over the top of the factory one. Couldnt personally tell a difference in responsiveness by doing so.

If you want it in percentage, then I'd say it will be around 0.25%
0.00001% will the screen crack without a reason.
Just make sure you have a screen protector and/or a case. I've got a case which protects 90% of the phone (only the sides are open and i've got a glass screen protector. So I'm not afraid AT ALL! when my phone falls.
I'll get screen protectors and cases, but, Google: Xperia Z screen Crack

Hi,
I got my Xperia Z1 Compact yesterday. I even left the original screen protector on the device (untill I get the clear screen protector). And I put a Case-Mate Tough Case on the phone. So its safe I would say.
Within 24 hrs (10 of which were sleeping hours) I noticed a crack in the screen. The phone just lies on the table getting charged.
I contacted the retailer, and as I'm writing this message, I'm waiting for their answer. Anything less then new phone will statisfy me.
The phone hasn't actually been used, exept for a few whatsapps, and 3 calls.....
So, they say it is a great phone.....it is, but with cracking screens i don't know. As a matter of fact, I searched for Z1 Compact problems, but didn't find the self cracking screen issue's.....
Mine cracked from being carried in my pocket with case and screen protector. I think Sony is just inconsistent with build quality I would get something from another manufacturer even though I really liked the Z.

It's very easy to replace the back glass that does include a new lens. If it bugs you that much that's an option.

You have to heat up the back then the adhesive comes loose, make sure you order a back glass that has the adhesive already applied and then you reheat that when you put it on. I did it on my Xperia Z and it worked fine. It's basically just a piece of waterproof tape that keeps the water out.
Or mayb you can use some p2000 waterproof sandingpaper and allot of patients? Don't know for sure, replacing is always possible...

No probl.
Can you mayb try to polish the back after removing? I am quite anxious to know if it would work, in that case 1 can pollish the whole phone, also the frame (to end up with an mirror/chrome finish)?

Hi!
I ordered this (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...cover-back-housing-back-glass/1603707841.html) back plate two weeks ago and it arrived yesterday, my old one was broken.. I don't know if it's glass or hard plastic, but it's holding up great without any protection!
There is no shatter film on the backplate, so I think its not original but OK.
It was very easy to take the old one off; just some heat, a sharp knife and a guitar pick did the trick.
The new one came with adhesive, and after cleaning the frame it went right on!
All in all very nice, and easy install, may be original, may be not.
Press thanks if I helped you :thumbup:

For copyright issues it's blurred on the site, but it's there. First I was worried about the quality of the logo's and branding, but when it arrived, all the logo's (Sony, Xperia, NFC icon, G camera icon) were all very crisp and detailed!

He has owned it for about 8 months. He used a cover most of the time. Occasionally he would use it without a cover like one day at a time. And yet it got scratched with paint coming off little by little. On the other hand i used mine naked for about 4 months now and i never use a cover. But no problems on my part. Good as new
