Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying one of these to try:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Privacy-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a160c910e
Has anyone had any experience with this type of screen protector.
It's not that I have anything to hide on my phone....I think it would prob look kinda cool
I have a vikuiti one on my HTC HD2 and it worked pretty well if you had the screen in portrait mode, someone either side would pretty much just see black. BUT someone standing in front looking down would see clearly. So the privacy works only in one plane of view. Screen clarity was reasonably good from the direct on viewing angle though bright sun made it harder to see, but the HD2 didn't have amoled. It's lasted pretty well, almost 2 years and has collected a few scratches, no issues with touch input either.
I did get a replacement, can't recall the brand but came as a set of 2 or 3, lower cost and "clearer" rather than seeming to have a tint. Didn't work very well, screen image was ok but it impaired touch input a lot, loss of sensitivity and accuracy etc, so chucked it and put the old one back on.
Can't comment on the one you linked as it doesn't say what brand it is, so only way to know more would be to ask them for more details and try one out. Personally I'd say beware of the cheaper ones though.

stay away.
They Are VERY easily damaged by a stylus. I'm talking barely no pressue at all, and theres permenant damage to the screen due to the stylus. It's almost like the top layer is being ripped as my stylus is dragging across it.
Just thought i'd try to save ya'all some money
thanks for the warning

Maybe you got a bad batch? I have used this brand for many phones, cameras, and mp3 players, and have had no problems.
Thanks for the advice
I bought in the past in proporta.com and they are good
Thank you for the warning, I am looking to get a good screen protetor so now I know to take this off the list
The BEST screen protectors are Expert Shield. You should be able to get one for around $7 with shipping on ebay.
I have one on all of my electronics.
What is wrong with Screen Patronus!?!
I would say the complete opposite. They make the best screen protectors, as they are easy to apply and have minimal impact on touch screen performance.
As a matter of fact, I think my Touch Pro's touch screen actually works better with the Screen Patronus protector on it, than it did before.
Would recommend highly.
I second that, I''ve used many different brands for the past 5 years. I found screenpatronus works best. it's super clear, it's hardly can tell it's even there once it's on..

I'm a fan of the Invisible Shield from ZAGG. Easy to apply and once it's there, after a few says it just disappears. Resists fingerprints, too.
Screen Patronus looks great when new, goes on perfectly, but it scratches very easily. I would need to replace it monthly to be happy with how it looks, which would amount to about $72 per year!
Hello, guys, I heard that there were a lot of technical problems with desire:
build quality and pinkish display. Do you have problems with back cover?
Or any other problems? Maybe scratched screen? Please tell us something about your experiance I just had already 2 phones, which back cover (I mean the thing that covers battery, not sure how it is called in english) just dropped out easily... don't want to repeat such hell with HTC Desire...
p.s. sorry for my english
I have just sold my HTC hd2 to get this and all I can say is **** winmo, I love tech, I'm an it engineer by trade and can say without a doubt this phone is the best XD. well done HTC, their are a few minor flaws but in my opinion no deal breakers.
I would highly recommend this phone .

I have no troubles with backcover, the screen isn't scratched (but I treated it very gently, with pouch and everything). The pinkish aura is clearly visible when the screen is dimmed after not using phone for a some time, but in normal use it's barely there. I'd never know about this if I hadn't read this forum. I have no complains about Desire, it's great
would you advise to buy a case for desire?
or it's ok just in a pocket of jeans?
and what about this photo? http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/photos/stuff-room/htc_desire_Red-Desire.jpg
would it be reasonable to look for the device that look like this desire on the left, than on the right?
so I can just go to the shop, lower the light brightness and check if it is like on the right or on the left?
i have mine in a nexus gel case with a screen protector in my jeans every day, no problems.
i put it in a pouch with the gel case and screen protector when its being slung about in a bag.
i would even bother checking the pink screen thing, unless you plan on having it on minimum brightness all the time. move the slider about the width of the slider bar and you wont be able to see it. (mine isnt as bad as that pic though, maybe 2 slider bar widths if you have one like that, lol)
Build quality is fine. What do people do with this phone anyway: use it as a bat?
Pinkish is something that appears with certain grey screens. For the rest, white remains white. It's not that much of an issue.
More relevant issues are:
*no divx support (but H.264 will do fine)
*various issues with contacts/synchronisation (see the relevant topics)
*Android Bluetooh stack is still in infancy
Conclusion: what technical issues?
I ordered one from Daydeal.com Yesterday and waiting on it to arrive.
This would make my Third one Yes i know i said 3 but the first 2 had problems and were ordered from a different seller.
anyone out here found any of these that are good and screen and touch buttons work if so where did you find it at..
i'm still waiting on my one from daydeal
EDIT: Pics of the screen protector taken from my wife HERO
Tried to get a pic of where i had to cut out the opening for the camera (front)
Hey how did that screen protectore from Daydeal.com Work out? does it make it harder to touch the screen? are the capacative buttons functional with the protector on? is there a cut out for the front facing camera?
thanks for the info!!
I'm thinking about getting a 4 way privacy screen for a ipad and cutting it down to size since I can't find one cut for the evo.
I have a 2 way now but it doesn't work well in landscape and I had to cut the bottom of it to get the buttons to work. I also think it is to thick. It makes it difficult to do multi-touch.
I'm hoping since the ipad is nothing but touch that the products available for it might me a little thinner and more capable of multi-touch. Wish 3M would get in gear and realize that more people than just BB users want to protect their privacy. Not that a 4.3" screen is a beacon for prying eyes or anything....
The screen (privacy) protector from daydeal.com works great the buttons work perfectly the only issue is the front camera is not cut out but you can fix that with a hobby knife with no problem I'll post a pic soon of the screen protector on my phone with the camera cut out.

i had the clarivue and it worked great... it did have some spots where the finish came off.. around the edges but it wasnt bad.
i had to change the screen of my phone so i lost it but now that i dont have a screen protector makes me like how good the screen looks. not bad like before.
i ordered a clear protector now... dont think i will go back to the anti-figerprint or privacy.
Well I guess I can post up some pics... I bought a Privacy screen that came out to $7.99 including shipping from EBAY. It came with 3 screens, all privacy.... The first one was kind of peeling from the top but did the job... take a look see....the screen is on regular backlight in all pics exept 1
that cut on the top looks crappy.. but the peeling happend to be too from clarivue. it was also around some edges. i liked the screen but i now have a crystal clear... i have tried all but the mirror type protectors... and i will stay with clear...
when i had my screen changed not to long ago i noticed the huge differance in the way the screen look in a privacy vs clear... you cant beat the clear... at least for me.
i gave it some thought... if someone can see my screen well enough to read the screen then they are too damn close to me anyways lol

Same one I got from eBay. The cut on top doesn't obstruct the camera or sensors and the guard goes from top to bottom with no gaps. Buttons and touch are still very sensitive.
If not for that peeling corner (got it here too) this would be a complete WINNAR!
I wouldn';t be able to stand my screen looking that dim and crappy.
What are you guys like porn addicts or something? I know none of you are important enough to have secrets that actually need hidden when you are walking around on your phones.

Yes. We are all very important porn addicts trying to hide our shameful screens. If you're not a fan of privacy screens, that's fine - don't troll a thread that others might find helpful.
You don't have to be a porn fan to want a little privacy the protector are useful if you don't want people seeing your password when your typing or drawing it.. Or your text message.. Privacy screens have more uses than just for porn if you want. I have a launch day evo and my screen still looks awesome with the privacy screen on the mirror protector is not useful it doesn't block anything unless you turn down the display brightness and that's no good cause then you can't see your own screen...

well, if your reading an important email, or checking your bank account. a lot of uses for these...
Dear all,
just got my Find 7a a week ago and being previous hardcore Samsung Galaxy S(S/S3) user for long years I am not impressed with the phone. I do believe most of the issues comes from the firmware itself(ColorOS is far from being brilliant) but there are two things that annoys the crap out of me.
First the one which is not such a big deal and I can live with it is capacitative buttons are really poorly backlit and visually nonexistent during the broad daylight.
But the second one is something which I can not live with and therefore I am planning to return my Find 7a to the seller tomorrow - touchscreen inaccurate responsiveness/precision/lag. There is no issue scrolling up/down/left/right but the problem arises whan the small tweak has to be done and cursor/pointer needs to be moved just a tiny little up/down/left/right - the touchscreen basicaly do not register any tiny movements. The perfect application to try is game - "8 Ball Pool" where adjusting the aim by just a little is impossible(while on my old and beaten Galaxy S and S3 its absolutely no problem and is precise like a sniper). Would there be anyone willing to install the game and try if its general problem of Find 7a screen or is it just my piece? I was even thinking of removing the factory-installed screen protector if it has any influence but I'm afraid that seller may not accept the unit back if I remove it.
I would appreciate your comments/experiences on the issue I described and possible solutions if any.
Many thanks and with kind regards,
Tomas
Ok, just decided to remove the oppo pre-installed screen protective plastic and it was the smartest decision I could do. I installed a new anti-glare one and not only most of the annoying glares are perfectly gone, but as well the grease from the fingers is sticking to the film far far less then before. And screen responsiveness and precision improved too. Definitely can recommend removing the factore preinstalled screen protector - its a lousy one anyway!
Hello guys,
First post as I am curious to repair my OPO to the highest standard possible keeping it as close to original as I can. (Also looking to unlock bootloader/root/install colour os camera amongst other things!)
Any way I cant do any of that until I have a new screen, woke up about a month a go to a random crack on my phone screen.. so my question is what screen/midframe combo are you using? And how does it compare to the original screen?
I have been reading about this for so long I have almost got to the point where I am unsure if it is worth it anymore every single replacement seems to have one problem or another.
I am looking for the original speaker grill. (Can use the one on broken screen if this is doable?)
The capacitive buttons to work and light up properly. (Apparently a lot of the replacemnts have dimmer buttons.)
And of course the most imortant is touch sensitivity and colour. (I would like this to be on par with the original OPO screen.)
Apparently some of the replacement screens are also missing the oloephobic layer, im not to sure if there is any dtruth behind this though.
Any help at all will be very much appreciated!
Thanks, Luke.
I would like some opinions on this too. Oleophobic layer wouldn't be a problem for me as I use a tempered glass screen protector. Likewise don't care about the capacitive buttons as I prefer onscreen ones.
