Screen feeling rough

Today my screen started feeling very rough. I tryed putting lotion on my hands, washing it, and any thing I could think to make it smooth but nothing seems to be working. I also cleaned the screen with the little black fiber cloth thing that my sister has. Does anyone know of a substance or something I can put to make it smooth. I should point out that I dont have a screen protector.

pictures might help in this case. are there surface imperfections on the screen? scratches, nicks, etc? perhaps you have haptic feedback enabled for all gestures?

No scratches or anything, the phones screen looks fine but my finger bounces across it. My finger doesn't glide it like lags and "bounces". Its quite hard to explain what I mean by bouncing.

I can't quite imagine that.. unless the screen was warped or had some sort of imperfection. load up a picture of your screen when you can.

I dont have a camera other than my phone so yeah. But, the screen randomnly just started being smooth again. I think i should buy a screen protector.

Sounds like maybe your fingers are the problem. I would file your skin down a little

Yea I think its your fingers... if your phone has no scratches on the screen than it shouldn't feel rough. I leave my hands a little oily since if it has no oil it would not slide

Maybe there are tiny dried particles of lotion or something else got on the lotion and was 'glued' to the screen. Get some 70% or 90% isopropyl alcohol. Use a microfiber towel to clean your screen with the alcohol. I'm surprised you haven't clean it yet...

Dirty screen

Does anyone else have a problem with fingerprints on their dhd screen?
When cleaning the screen the prints just smudge rather than wipe off.
I dont want to use any screen protectors due to air bubbles in them and reducing touchscreen sensitivity.
Does anyone have any tried and tested methods to reduce marks or at least an easy way of cleaning.
Thanks

I've had a screen protector on my DHD for 9 months and it doesn't cause any issues and there are no bubbles. I went to an HTC store and let the "professional" install it. I'm sure the service will vary, but the guy that did mine really knew what he was doing. In fact he had trouble with the 1st film and threw it away and started over with a 2nd film, no extra charge.
I clean my screen almost daily using a cleaner made for glasses (the kind you wear) and wipe it with a cloth also for glasses. That doesn't appear to have had any adverse affect after 9 months.
Not sure if that helps...

I am using screen protector from day 1 on my Desire HD. Never had any issues.
I install it myself (this is like installing protectors for almost 5 years, and I change them in every 6 months)...
Use that, good for screen protection.

Thanks for the advice. Due to the cost I will buy some. If I don't like them I can throw them away without losing anything.
Are the screen protectors you use finger print resistant. And if so, are they actually resistant? Thanks

Invisible shield is really good. Plus lifetime replacements and you can get professional installs
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I use Copter screen protectors. I think its far superior to anything else. Invisible shield is too thick and provides too much friction.

My experience is that screenprotecter is no need for, because when u treat your phone good and have a case and not keys in same pocket as your dhd then it will almost not get any scratches and the ones it get are not really visible to the eye.
Oh yeah I use the cleaning for glasses to clean the dhd, it works great but the screen will have fast finger prints again anyway.

Just to update.
i bought some screen protectors off ebay. £1.65. for10. So really cheap. Very slight reduction to sensitivity to touch screen. No problem though.
best of all no fingerprints (so far anyway )
thanks for the advice guys.

Use a micro fibre cloth.

micro fibre cloths proved no better than any other. a standard duster seemed best.

Have a little trick if you are applying the screen protector yourself.
Damp a clth and wipe the screen. After that there most probably wouldn't be any bubbles

The guys at the HTC store use clear tape to hold one end of the film to allow lifting it easily if it's not quite right on the first try.

OUCH that hurt my head! What a tool (excuse the pun)
Good to know I can use it to hammer a nail in, though I'll still use a hammer at the end of the day.

Wow.......just wow

dont try this at you HOX

rubber nails being hammered into foam XD
even after this i still wouldn't use my hox without a screen protector :/

Considering I scratched my first one within a few days when it was in my pocket I very much doubt this video

this is not a bad test too i don't use any cases, no screen protector, been using a phone for more than a month at it still looks like brand new. although haven't dropped it yet. knock knock knock.
i think its a pretty tough phone

that was cruel

What the...

kept mine in a leather case with my driving liscence scratched the **** out of the screen with a plastic card rubbing on it wouldnt advise this lol

Definitly not the right way to use the HOX

People who are saying they have scratch/cracked their HOX, don't you take any care if your phones. It's a new phone and your already dropping it. To be honest I kinda think some peoples glass strength is different for some reason.

Wonder how long before they get their first return from someone trying this!
Given how exposed the screen is (which is a plus design wise) it needs to be tough to last most people's contract terms.

Think this is a response to someone doing the same think to a nokia lumia 900 to show how strong the screen on that was.

He's obviously ordered himself an S3 and taken One X bashing to another level!!!

Haha great video, I taught only the corners of the screen were Gorilla glass.

I think you'll find it's Corning gorilla glass not corners gorilla glass.

How many people use screen protectors? Any like Gorilla Glass?

So I've had my HTC One X for a few months now and the minute I took it out of the box I put a screen protector on it, not wanting to get fingerprints on it before I put it on. I put it really well, and I kept it like that for a while til I got really fed up with the texture of the screen protector. I just took it off two days ago and it feels so much better! There really is nothing like gorilla glass. But I'm really paranoid about it and don't want it to get scratched, so I was wondering how many people use screen protectors on their HTC one Xs and how has that faired you, and also are there any screen protectors that feel just like gorilla glass?

I don't use a screen protector. Not yet. So far over 30 scraches and counting. The first few scratches were understandable (who would have guessed a pair of keys would rape the **** out of my display?) If it's the oleophobic coating that's being scratched then this is just ridiculous. he rest popped out of nowhere through normal use.

I think some OneXs just came out of a bad batch. My first OneX scratched way too easily, this second one I got (first started developing yellow spots) haven't gotten any scratches at all.

How long have you had your second one for? And do you use a case?

See what I mean? It's not the first time i read about people's screens not being prone to scratches after getting a new handset. Even my friend who owns the one x has not got one single scratch. I'm starting to really get pissed off at htc.

Honestly I know how you feel. I've been disappointed a couple of times with my One X since I got it, in fact I only started being satisfied with it at all once I got rid of Sense. Hardware-wise, though, yeah it could be better, battery life and colors, even. I just hope that mine isn't one of the ones prone to scratches... I really can't afford another one right now, and I would totally buy one anyways @[email protected]

I never used a screen protector on my one x and i have it pretty much since it was released. Don't have a single scratch on my screen yet, the trick is to be careful and not putting the phone and the keys in the same pocket.

Now that does make me feel better.

I use an Invisible Shield HD, and its near impossible to tell anything is on the phone. Only in direct sunlight is it visible, and that is only the edges that can be seen, only slightly. I also had 3 scratches on the screen, and they can't be seen anymore.

Yeah I agree, no scratches on mine, BECAUSE I LOOK AFTER IT
I don't do stupid things like putting it in a pocket with other stuff and then wonder why it's scratched? That's like cleaning your car with a stone and then saying it's more prone to scratches than everyone else's car.

I used my HTC sensation for 11 months with no screen protector and didn't have one scratch on it.
My HOX however I put a zagg screen protector on it straight away. I want to keep it in good condition for resale value in the future.
Apparently zagg have brought out a HD screen protector that doesn't have the orange peel touch effect, I'm searching everywhere but can't find these in the UK at the moment even though you can buy them from the zagg.com

Had my One X for 3 months and I've never had a screen protector on it or a case and it has no marks on it at all, just gets a little dirty cause I'm a mechanic.

Famous last words!...
I use a case (jelly) but not screen protector. I used a screen protector for about a month on my old desire hd and it was horrible. AND I forked out for an expensive one. Ruins the display and feels clammy to swype on. If you're careful, the screen doesn't get scratched really anyway, imo. It won't stop the screen cracking if you do drop it awkwardly either, which to me is the main worry.
Conclusion: If you bought your phone to enjoy it, don't get a screen protector 'cause they're horrible, if you didn't buy it to enjoy it, sell it and get yourself an old 3310.

My one x is full of microscratches (the ones you can only see tilting your phone in direct sunlight).
I'm EXTRA careful with my phones, and I've never had this problem before with my other htc phones (diamond, diamond 2, HD2, DesireHD, Sensation) some people say it's the coating or whatever, there's even an online petition to ask htc to solve this problem.
Use a screen protector! This phone is extra sensible to microscratches, you've been warned.

Using a Brando UltraClear screen protector, it's simply unbeatable. And yes, I did try Zagg's, Martin's, etc..

I work in a though enviroment from time to time so i don't wanna take any chances.
I use bestskinsever.com Best screenprotector I've ever had, and its much cheaper then the once from Zagg.com

Often wondered how these glass screen protectors get fitted and how they stay on.....only ever used the flexible plastic protectors....and I'm guessing you can't bend these glass ones during fitting like you can the plastic ones lol......

You can bend them a bit.
Basically you clean the screen, then just put it on, press once somewhere and it starts gluing itself on the screen, looks kinda cool.
You can take it off and apply again.

No issues at all, it is flexible, more like a hard thick plastic but still glass.
If you have something in between the glass and screen you will notice it though. So make sure there is no dust there.
