Hi everyone, I recently got a second-hand Wildfire and noticed that the screen seems to be matte. When I watched a few videos of other peoples Wildfire, I noticed that their screens were glossy and seemed sharper.
Does anyone know if it is normal for a Wildfire to have a matte screen?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I did try to check, and I do seem to see what seems like an extra layer on the screen. Upon trying to peel off the "extra layer", it seemed to be stuck there ...

I have recently bought a HTC mozart. I recently broke the glass of the touch screen. The touch screen still works and everythings alright except for the glass. Ive seen replacement screens on ebay. Does anyone know how to change the touch screen on the mozart? thx
That is not good news, I cracked the screen on my HD2 and I had to send it away to get replaced. With the HD2 it is a tough job as the lcd and the glass are attached and it is difficult to change glass only. I replaced glass and lcd.
Unfortunately I was not much help, but I feel your pain.
Good luck..
Well i have a LCD which is broken by fallen and which bought by ebay but i do't know how to replace it
Can't find anything on this
Would be awesome if someone made a guide of some sort.

On mine after a few months or so one corner became a yelow spot (cca 0,75 cm in diameter). Only visible with white background. The HOX screen quality isn't one of the best.

The HOX Screen is the best screen I've ever seen on a device.
Nuffsaid.

Hey guys
sorry for being little late with my respond,
but its not under the screen and not moving when putting pressure on the screen - it looks like its ON the screen, like its something coating the glass.
MAYBE its because of using Crystalusion screen protector? never noticed it before applying.
my device is 4-5 months old
Update:
So, I'm really wondering about screen protector replacement, and I found some by different brands. If you guys please could guide me and tell me your reviews:

Hi, there!
I bought a Sony Xperia Ion HSDPA (LT28h) in early February and some weeks ago I somehow scratched the screen –TBH I don't now what exactly happened to f**k it up as I tend to be careful, but, whatever–. There is a little scratch about 1mm long and 0.1mm deep which is noticeable by finger at usage time, and a very tiny one next to it which's almost inappreciable.
I've been wondering about it and found things like banana-rubbing, toothpaste applying, a product called Displex –which really called my attention– and screen protectors (actually, Ion seems to have a pre-applied one).
So the dilemma is: Should I either ignore it or try some fixing method?
I'll really appreciate your opinion, experiences with these methods and so on.
Thanks in advance!
My scratch is over the whole screen. I ignored it for several weeks, now i´m buying a new screen protector to replace the pre-installed one.

Thanks for the reply. In case you get a nice result please let me know how did you do it exactly and maybe I'll take that way too.
Greetings.

That's the use of screen protector....to protect the screen...

Yeah the screen works perfectly, no color nor quality artifacts in the scratched zone. It's just annoying at touch and I wanted a working solution.
If I decided to replace screen protector, would I need to remove Sony pre-applied one first? And, how should I do it? I'm afraid it maybe has Sony logo baked-in just like Xperia Z =S

Would http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762976 work? And could I add it over the pre-applied one without removing it?
Thanks for your help!

Okay, that was actually a stupid question, didn't notice it was only for Xperia S lol

Hey guys
Just got the phone today after a long two years with the galaxy s3 and im very impressed over the improvement over the S3 and im glad that I picked this device.
I've noticed that if you look at the light senser on the front that there appears to be what looks like a a screen protecter. Is this correct?
Thank you
I think that is just part of the screen that extends over the speaker, sensor, and camera. Plus the screen responds like it is unprotected. I hate screen protectors so you had me scratching on my trying to see if anything would peel off.
I think that's just the way the phone is - I also hate screen protectors and you had me worried.. made me triple-check my phone lol.

Haha sorry looking into it, seems to be a small protecter over the light sensor.
I think I need some help, running stock just factory reseted phone but problem still there.
When making a call screen goes blank and I can't turn it on after that, can't hang up, can't do anything.
Is there any1 else experiencing this bug?
Maybe your sensor on the front is jacked up?
Nop had it tested in other app.

Try to factory reset it again, or you could investigate if any app you have is causing it.
Hahahahahahahahahahahhah GOT IT.
YOU GUYS WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT WAS!!!!!!
It's my new tempered glass screen protector..removed it and now works perfect...
Haha, learned something new

Because I recently purchased one from Xtremeguard and it's currently being delivered to me. I sent an email to them and they claim that the tempered glass does not block the proximity sensor. I've read on another forum that this specific brand provided similar problems to what you experienced.
and also the missed touches on screen gets worse with tempered glass
nillkin tempered glass here without any issues. Can you post up a picture of your screen protector? Maybe the cutouts are different. I also had no idea on the screen protector that was installed by LG (which in different markets may have logos, but mine was clear, even had a tab to remove it, but left it on until I got my tempered glass one)
It's the sensor, not the protector

I have the same problem with my LG V10. I have NOTHING blocking the sensor. I just discovered that light level alone will cause the black screen.
I tried calling with a bright light overhead. No black screen.
I caused a shadow over the sensor (NOT blocking it, just a shadow). The screen went black. The same thing happened when I was in the T-Mobile store, with no block and no shadow.
Guys, I had the exact problem. And you DO NOT have to remove your protector, you just need to recalibrate the sensor. There is a tutorial, use the Search.
Did anyone manage to do this with Verizon?
