hi all
my two weeks old ZR had its screen scratched , right in the middle of it , it is very horrible..,yet the screen works perfectly even on the scathed area.(its dose not look like a scar , but rather a tiny patch of light scratches).
the question here , is how much it costs to get a new screen, and do i have to change to whole screen or only some sort of an exterior layer of it.
thanks....
It's anti shattering layer that scratch no need to replace screen.ask if one can be brought from local Sony dealer.next time put a third party screen guard over it ,

wow....thanks for the input..
the real problem is that the worn patch is right in the middle of the screen , so it catches your eyes instantly.specially if you have white or blank background ..
but can i know the approximate price of the anti-shatter layer

Not sure if anyone else has noticed or has this but when my screen is off it looks like there is fluid or something on the inner part of the screen. Almost like grease looks like on water .
Any ideas anyone.
Same problem here! It´s only in the middle of the screen - (1 cm border) - the same for u?
you can only notice it when you tilt the screen to a light! you dont see it in the dark..
It's probably just the screen protector...
I honestly cannot see anything like grease on water below the screen when the phone is off. Possibly because all I see is grease on the screen from my fingers.
its just where the original screen protector was on it. I had the same. 1cm border arround screen. just give it a good scrub with a soft pollishing cloth to get it off

Yea , same for me . Sorry but its not where the sreen protector is as it has never had one being tempered glass.
Hmm sounds like a warranty return then
it should have been a protector there. sure it's tempered glass, but the digitizer on top of it is plastic.
same problem
I have the same problem on the middle of the screen: 1cm x 2cm area.I can see it with dark background. If I tick this area with the stylus, it moves like some fluid.
I will try to take photos later.
Its under the glass , there is no screen protector on the device. My camera is broken so hopefully some photos will come up later
I have the same problem on my "original Touch" - I noticed that it's visible only when screen is pointed to some polarized light (for example laptop display, fluorescent tubes in subway). In the subway I can hardly read the text. Under the sunlight or under the normal bulb it's not visible (or barelly visible from very sharp angle).
I heard there is some polarization film under the plastic-glass that can get released and make this liquid effect.
My friend noticed this even on his Eten x500+, but not so bad.
This was one of the reason I get my Diamond - because I need to send Touch for warranty repair.
It's a bad news that this problem persists on Diamond

Yea I think the last user is probably right . I keep it in my jeans front pocket so it could be presure on the screen.
today i have noticed that there is a very small black dot on lcd, but i dont think its a dead pixel, because its visible when the screen is off, like a little dust under screen !
is it possible that dust goes under hd7 screen ?
how can i fix that ?
I have the same issue. But I leave it as it is ´cause I don´t want to make it worse and in normal operating it doesn´t bug me so much.
what is it ? is it dust or dead pixel do you think ?
but its annoying in white background
Well indeed I think it is a dead black pixel since it doesn't move like dust.
It doesn't disturb since the display never is fully cleaned :-]
My first HD7 had dust under the screen straight out the box, 2 specks by the arrow up the top right, I exchanged it as it also had a gap on the battery cover so I could see the SIM card.
replacement was perfect, so a bit of dodgy quality control at HTC by the looks of it..

hi John.
I have HD7 and the battery cover has a gap- as you described...
where did you send your hd7 in order to be replaced?
Did you send it dirtectly in HTC's?
or did you address to the shop you bought it?
how many days did they spend to replace your mobile?
Thanks for your help
the small dots under the screen is not dust specs.
its actually the insulators builted in the screen..
if u place the screen under then sun with a black screen (lcd off) u can see there is actually quite a number of them.
they are visible if u tilt it to a certain angle..
i place a matte type screen protector and its not visible anymore.
anyway i still hate the tarnished camera button.
nevertheless, my kick stand starts to paint-pill even though i have not even use them. =(
but i still love wp7.

I know what are you saying, but this dot is different from them, its not on that grid, its only one and when the background is white its visible as dark color
but i dont think its a dead pixel too, it is a little far from lcd and seems to be under the front glass !
I couldnt do anything with it

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen capable I think?
Would be interesting/good if that is true.
Samsung service centre told me before that the original amoled screen, touch panel and glass comes as a single unit/ part.
Hope you are right.

The capacitive touch panel IS the glass. You cannot order any glass and place it on top of the screen. You need a touch panel, and yes, they come as an assy with the screen.
For 100% You will need a touch panel.
i still have the touch on the screen and am still able to use the phone i know its a oem screen from samsung as the screen was new when got it from shop ... funny how people jump the gun and think that somethink that (cant be done ) can be done im happy to go on fb ring txt and everything else on this phone with the glass OFF!!! and is 100% useable can even upload a video to youtube and will show you lot wrong hahaha whos larfing now ..... my ass you need to go out and buy the whole lot ... no you dont as i have showen you . the way i found out was i had a old samsung i9000 and it was busted to hell . so had a go at taking the screen away from the bk and saw that you have the screen then touch panel glued together then the touch to the glass so i fort with my working i9000 (with cracked glass only) i start tapping away from the front and there you have it . it started to work and then atm to stop me from scraching the touch sheet coz its not glass its like a soft plastic i am using a screen guard and its working a charm .... show me wrong people but im sat here with the glass off my phone and phone still working . i give this job a 9/10 on hardness tho so good luck

hi, if anyone is still interested. this is really pssible, ive separated the outer glass 5 min ago. used a thin sheet of plastic and the heat of a hair dryer. it took me an hour to do so
The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen
Funny how people can't seem to be able to read.
He's PROVEN separate glass to be the case, it's not a question.
Now whether or not a new glass can be fitted onto the old capacitive layer just like that remains to be seen...

i can CONFIRM, that the outer Gorilla glass is just a tempered glass thats glued to lcd/digitizer assebly with transparent silicone-like glue. the touchscreen works 100% fine without the gorilla glass. ive ordered the replacement for outer glass and will report back when i get it and if it works right with some video footage. unfortunately i wil have to wait for it for about 3 week, because its located in china
Did the new glass worked?
Hello there, since I recently got my glass look like a willow tree at the late autumn (dropped my Galaxy S and the glass is all cracked up) but the touchscreen is still intact and fully operational and working flawlessly I am interested on your progress to know if it's possible to fix just the glass and to get eventual information on how you did it if you succeeded with replacing just the glass, info on where you got a new glass and stuff would also be much appreciated in case your homemade repair worked. Thanks in advance.
Any news? The ten days should be over now....
Same problem
Any news? I have the same problem.

IT IS POSSIBLE... but i have failed
Last days i have finally try to change only the glass on my i9000. No success, but i was very close.
After i have clean the remaining glue from the glass that i buy i have follow the steps from the youtube video from post before. I mention that S3 glass seems to be more flexible and the glue a little more soft.
I have warm up the display surface but not to warm (after i remove the main-board and other).
After i have started to take the glass piece by piece with my swiss multi knife (big mistake)
I have proceed with careful until i have started to be more and more sure at me, and, as you can imagine i have make the big mistake - broke the display.
I don't know if in glass removing process or when i have try to remove the remaining glue with a microfiber tissue i have press a little to hard and i broke the display (a little rift).
I have failed but i am sure if you have patience and more appropriate tool you can succeed.
Please take in calculus that without the glue between the two parts the screen is more reflexive and the contrast is not like before. There is no electrical connection between the touch and the display.
Now the touch under the rift on the screen is not working anymore and the phone is almost useless. The top part of display is working perfect!
Sorry for my english and here is some pictures:
Nice
Hi all,
Please let me start off by telling you that I'm new to Sony devices
So this evening I received my new White Xperia T. I've been a bit frightened by all those posts on the back paint coming of on the black model, and to my surprise, the white model sports an hard plastic-matte finish, not as rough as the silver one, but quite similar to the Nokia Lumia 900's one. It wasn't mentioned in any review.
I'm happy with it: less parts, less chances for something to fall apart.
Anyway to the main question: on the box there's a relatively thick screen protector, of the electrostatic kind (impossible to put in place properly), and the screen already has a thinner one applied. What's it for? Why bundle 2 screen protectors?
Is it so delicate to require a factory applied screen protector?
Also I find the screen has a bit too much friction to my thumbs... does it go back to normal if I remove the screen protector?
thank you very much!
The factory applied screen protector is the shatterproof one. It does indeed have more friction, but I suggest leaving it on.
Hmmm, I don't know. I really hate the added friction it causes, and the fact that fingerprints really show on it...
Also how can a plastic screen protector render a glass shatterproof?
I keep my devices very well, I dropped my current device only 1 time in ten months, I wonder if this warrants for removing the "shatterproof" protector...
Waiting for more opinions
Thanks
Just to let you know, the pre installed one its not scratch proof, so after a month of use, tons of scratch, so I removed it and put an after market one.
It took me about 20 mins to remove, yes, it is extremely difficult to remove, if you managed to pull it right off without holding the screen, you can pull the whole screen panel off, no kidding. Lol

Hi, I think there is many threads about the screen protector that comes with the Xperia Z. But I don't very conviced about "anti-shatter film", it means that the film will protect the screen and back for drops, right?
Unfortunately my Xperia's box does't come with extra screen protector, and now, my front and back are too scratched (I don't like the cellphone's covers) and I want to put them off and replace them, maybe with something like these:
spigen.com/sony-xperia-z-screen-protector-glas-t-premium-tempered-glass.html
(I can't put links, sorry)
So I know that the Sony logo are branded into the film (I read in some threads and there are Xperia Z with the logo printed in the screen, I think this is all about luck) . I'm very careless and my cellphone drops from my hands almost everyday (It is a good phone , I'm very destroyer...). And my question is that if I replace this film with other it will be keep the same drop resistance?
Thanks.
PD: Someone know if is possible to get screen protectors branded with the Sony logo?
The screen protector applied by Sony doesn't protect your screen to break or get scratches. It is meant to hold the screen in place if it breaks so the screen doesn't fall apart or you can hurt yourself.

Like Drei said, it's not an actual resistor of force. It'll break just as easily as any others I'd wager.
Like with any phone though I've heard people have it from from their hand while sitting down and it cracked, or people who've dropped it from the second story of a house and landed on a fountain screen first and survived.
Sadly the screen protector for the Xperia Z is nothing but your own safety from pieces of glass. I'm not sure if there's been any coverage on it since I last checked, but the screen for the Xperia Z itself is quite dirty - in the sense it picks up finger prints like no other phone, so if you're taking off the protector replace it I guess.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! So I will buy new ones.
