Hello , today i noticed a small dot on the back of the phone that looks like "someone" pushed a needle through the plastic protector of the phone all the way through the glass panel . I don't know how this happened because my phone is in case mate though case and it still got the protector from the factory on the back . I didn't drop bend or other thinghs like this with the phone . I dont really know how thik is the protector so it might just be the protector damaged or it could be both the protector and the glass . I still have waranty on the phone and i want to know if the back of the phone will crack on it's own will the warranty fix the phone ?

Hello,
Need some help, I bought a Z1 but the back had cracks and a bit of shattered glass in it - I bought a replacement
back cover with the adhesive on it, but I cannot get the old one off (after using the hairdryer, a suction pad wouldnt get it up either).
Its like the back screen film protector is peeling up but the rest of it is staying put. If I can't get this done I will take it to the shop
tomorrow but it'd be much more convienient if I could do it myself.. Or would it be the best thing to do?
I've included a picture too..
Thanks in advance
hello xda , :fingers-crossed:
i wanna buy a new phone and iam admiring the xperia z1 , but iam a little anxious about some things , one of them is the screen as it is not Ghorilla Glass , i had a samsung galaxy s2 and it was really resistant against scratches , so i dont want to pay lots of money on a phone which could be scratched so easily.
so i just wanted to ask people here who already have the Z1 about their experience with that phone's screen and their overall rating to the phone and its camera, cause i've read many posts that the camera wasn't like what they expected
thanks in advance
Check out Glass-M. They make a tempered glass screen protector for the z1 for like 17USD, mines in the mail. I always put a screen protector as soon as possible, even a 5$ urethane protector can easily stop a scratch that would be ridiculously expensive to repair. Gorilla glass wont save you. Stock glass feels better then urethane, but i can always replace a damaged screen protector.
The camera is usually covered by a sapphire lens i believe, which is much harder then the glass screen and doesn't need to be protected. Just keep your diamonds in a different pocket and you wont scratch it.
My advice, get a screen protector for it before you take it out of the box. Mine was scratched after 2 days, compared to all the other phones I've had (HTC One, SGN, SGSIII etc) I have never had a scratch on the screen. The glass itself is tough, it's just the anti shatter film they put over the top of it which scratches easily. It's like having a cheap screen protector on but they say you void your warranty if you pull it off to replace it once it's scratched.
Go with a tempered glass one. I love the phone, just not the cheap film they put over it.
thanks for your fast response guys :angel:
Is this Tempered Glass projected to being scratched and i'll need to replace it several times ? or it is a scratch-resistant glass which will act like gorilla glass maybe ?
and is the camera worth it ? one of my main reasons of choosing that phone is its camera , but i've read many posts which say that camera sucks , and another posts which say that camera is great !! anybody here has any actual experience with this camera ?!
no one has tried z1 or has faced what iam telling or what :crying:

The camera is good, just not mind blowing. If you take picture in good light pictures will be fine. In the end its still a small sensor and will not replace my full frame camera. The Glass-m is made of gorilla glass and is pretty tough. The reason for putting one on as soon as you get it is due the anti shatter film sony insists on putting on. This ASF scratches very easily
The screen panel has detached from the phone in the top right corner. Also the headphone jack stopped working about a month before that.
I'm a little worried about peeling the tempered glass screen protector off. I've done it before and it's no easy task, it's on there firmly. I'm worried that I'll damage the screen doing so.
Could I just leave it on, or might they reject the warranty for "using unsupported accessories" or some BS, claiming it might be my fault that the screen has detached?
in Europe they would just disregard the protector.
Unfortunately not every time they disregard it. Yesterday I was repairing one with same issue (You can look at my blog http://e11mtlab.blogspot.com/2016/01/sony-xperia-z3-compact-odklejajacy-sie.html , it's in Polish but there are some good images I think). As You can see I fixed it without taking off screen protector but for example, Polish Sony Service Center says that they can detach tempered glass if it is necessary. I would say it's not necessary but in most cases they are changing Your firmware even if Your issue is broken screen etc. so no matter it's necessary to take off or not Your phone can return without tempered glass.

I'm having an issue where the screen is becoming to come off in the top right corner. Do you know if heating up the front screen (and adhesive underneath) and pushing the screen back down would fix the problem?
You can try. Original adhesives are thermosensitive so if there is no dust, dirt etc. on adhesive it can be fixed after reheat. Never tried it so if it works give me some info.

If there's a problem related to the screen like the panel coming off or something it's best you remove the Tempered Glass as the personnel would have a harder time trying to fix your phone without "cracking" the tempered glass.
A thing to note is tempered glass is very weak against bending, since it is engineered to withstand force on its complete surface area.
Good luck!
In case of Z3c I never had problems with tempered glass. I have changed adhesives in 3 or 4 Z3c and never need to take off glass or protective film. However there is really hard or maybe even impossible to take off back door without braking tempered glass on it or destroying film. Back door glass is flexible and tempered glass is not so one fold and it breaks. Fortunately it's not so easy to break back door but I repeat one more time - heat it up with hair dryer before taking off, same with screen.
If you care about reusing the tempered glass, then take it off before sending in for warranty. Otherwise, it could be removed and not returned to you. It will not void your warranty though.

how many backglasses have u replaced?
0, bought phone 10 days after it was relased. Are you playing football with it ( no offense ) ? Using original samsung case and no problems !
whahhaah no offence taken,no once i dropped it.. and twuce i didnt notice anything and it just was cracked hagaga
also on my 3rd, just broke the 2nd, dont even know how
Does someone know if there are any backpieces made of plastic or alluminium?
Aluminium: probably not, as the wireless charging feature won't work with a metal back.
glass is the best choice, it wont go opaque like plastic, no scratches and when my glass is full of shatter lines i kinda feel like i fit in with the iphone people nawmeen
anyone that has the back glass replaced how's the waterproof seals holding up? I got mine second hand and it has replaced back panel since it has no IMEI or serial on the back panel.

Using the clearview cover without any screen protectors.
Doing well except the edges that are scratched by the cover itself:crying::crying::crying::crying:
One long line going from the USB port to the volume buttons and I didn't drop it. Might replace it soon. I got a case after it was cracked.
Had this phone since release always has a case on it, dropped it twice on concrete, a few times on my wooden floor and one time down the stairs. Nothing on my phone, but I have small hair line scratches on the screen from I guess putting it in my pocket and what not. Can't win them all I guess sigh.
galaxy s7 active here.... haha no issues so far.
but for us that front plastic "anti shatter" screen feels like cheap plastic and scratches easily- tamped glass on top makes the phone look GORGEOUS especially the screen now and adds massive protection.
although Ive seen this phone nicked and busted on the sides pretty good for used on ebay.... i haven't noticed anything like that with the drops I've done so far.
Hi, yesterday my phone fell to the ground from about 30 cm. It was with his original flip cover and glass screen protector. But unfortunately it took floor with front glass side by right edge down and went in crash.
Now can I change ony the glass? ( as samsung phone)
Or I must change all the display ?
Because the glass is broken a little and only in the lower part to the right of the central key. I put a new protection glass and almost I do not see it but if it does not cost too much I would like to change it.
Is there anyone who changes only glass? can you show me where?

Hello mate, did you fix it?
I broke on my P20 pro front glass, by the way touch screen is working.
I ‘ve seen on Youtube that possible to replace glass only, but I not sure about digitizer, should I replace together or not.
Maybe someone has experience with it?
