Pre-install screen protector? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Mine is on ordered but should I buy a screen protector or it came pre-install as xperia S?

There is already a factory applied one on there.

nice, I was ready to order a screen protector too! upon further inspection I do notice a screen protector.

I like the protector since it fits nice... And no need for extra one although extra always is better but no real need

I haven't heard of a pre installed screen protector on the AT&T Ion. Is it similar to a Zagg or best skins ever one or just thin sticker film?

I've never taken the stock Sony one off any of my phones (Xperia Play, S, ion) and its always done its job. Never put anything else on it either.

Good to know. Thanks

Does anyone know if the screen protector can be taken off without any major issues? I would hate if it left a residue behind.

The at&t gut took it off of mine.

I got my x10 on 11/24/2010 and didn't find out about the stock screen guard till a year into it. But it is still on has only 1 major scratch. Best stock guard around. I agree with above post TAKE IT BACK AND GET ANOTHER ONE AND SMACK THE IDIOT THAT TOOK IT OFF, but that's just me

I've changed my mind on wanting to remove the screen protector. Seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth, and like you said, it's hardly noticeable.

Removed my screen protector and I am really happy. It was slightly beat up and I dislike screen protectors on my phones. It was put on extremely well.
The screen and capacitive buttons seem more responsive and I prefer the feel of glass.

Do these things actually stay in place for extended periods of time? Or do you have to use a thick screen protector that has a cutout to help keep them planted?

No, it cracked from about a 6 inch slide. That's the worst part about it. There's not a single mark on my phone because it was in a case when it happened. I called Samsung and they have to evaluate whether the damage was caused by me or some sort of manufacturing defect. I'm almost positive they're gonna rule against me despite how ridiculous the circumstances were.

It was just some plastic case that Target (ironically) had on clearance. I kinda regret that decision...
It mostly depend on the point of impact. If you dropped it directly at it's corner, it'll most likely crack. And I feel the screen on this phone cracks way too easily. I've dropped it once on my bed. Luckily the screen didn't crack.
I have minor scratches on my screen from I have no clue what, I've had a case on it since day one and never lay my phone on its front only on the back and it has minor but noticeable scratches. Annoying and very weak GG

Removing that ugly at&t logo

I haven't received the phone yet, but can anybody tell me if that at&t logo is etched under the glass or is it on top of it? I want to see if I can remove it using nail polish remover or goo gone or whatever. I like my phones unbranded and that at&t logo is a definite eyesore.
Underneath I would assume

It doesn't look like its under the glass. Looks like its on the same level as Sony and button icons. Would have to take off stock protector, not worth it to me. Sony protectors are very good. My x10 still has it on, with only minor scratches
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
lol
att logo is on glass itself, there is no way to remove it.
you can buy replacement LCD with no logo, it will cost you only 225 just for part
After seeing this device come apart I would not attempt to replace the screen on it. I have done quite a few different devices but this thing does not look fun to deal with at all. As for the logo I am mostly sure it is impregnated in the glass so no real way to get it out.

Can I fix the scratches on my phone?

Bought my phone yesterday at BestBuy....I let my friend borrow it and she scrtched with her bag....a small scratch on the left side....ohhhhh myyy goossshhh I feel so horrible now....anyway to fix it?

The side where? On the screen, the front bezel, the battery cover?? If its on the case of the phone somewhere i suppose you could find replacement parts online and swap all the internals if you were so inclined. If the screen itself is scratched, other than some hair brained schemes like blow torches and sand paper i would say you are stuck with the scratch. The good news is a decent screen protector film should disguise anything other than a major disfiguring.

I worked at Best Buy. If you are within 30 days they will probably take it back. Also, Black Tie is a protection plan that covers everything but lost and stolen. I will be sure not to help out in this thread any more though.

I had people bring back phones that had water damage. Half our managers would say take it back and the other half would think about it and then may or may not do it. If he just got it yesterday he could reason that it was too easy to scratch since it is supposed to have gorilla glass. I've returned more with less reason because the customer was nice.

I stated that I wasn't going to help because my advice was disliked. But, if it was my store I'd give you some Crap then help you out if you were nice and reasonable. You could also get the protection plan. I'd be tons more likely to help you if you had that.

You don't really have to do either one, but if you are trying to swap it in store I would, and you have to have a reason other than the scratch. If you are using GSBTP you need to break something on it so they'll send it off. If you use GSBTP you don't need to unroot because that doesn't matter.

Find a less clumsy friend.
Clumsy people can be a pain
would it be bad if you just swap it out saying you actually want the blue one but buy the screen protector to hide the scratch, and then a couple days later just go back and switch to a new white one saying you actually preferred the white one to the blue one?

I doubt it because lg screens are a bit complicated and ppl are scared to attempt it. However there are how tos on YouTube you can follow. I would go with the link I gave since the two pieces are attached. With the separate piece you might have to loca the glass to the LCD so u don't get an air bubble in the middle or dust in the screen after time. My first time fixing my Note I didn't use no loca since none of the vids instructed to do so. Worst experience ever, thank god I was able to take it apart and redo it.

I have replaced 3 screens on the OG(mine and 2 of my sisters). It is super easy only hard part is getting the glue behind the screen hot enough to take off. Other than that super easy got a phone repair kit from radio shack for like $12. I can tear down and put back together in like 5 minutes now.

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13180768&retainProdsInSession=1&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

The phone kit is the best thing has everything you need.http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...ce=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032236 And use a hair drier or heat gun to get the screen off. DO NOT touch the battery if it gets poked or bent out of shape a little it will go bad very quickly. Obviously unplug it from the board but thats it, and its only 2 connections to get the screen off the main board. Everything is pretty easy once you get inside. I watched a video and that was a huge help.

For 80 bucks would you recommend just the digitizer or the bundled glass and digitizer? I'm assuming the two piece together is the better deal and less work correct? Just trying to make it easier for the op lol

Definitely get with the glass. If you get a fingerprint or dust under the whole thing wont work.

Get both. All things being equal, your best bet is to replace both. Since screen and digitizer are so close together on this phone a break like you got probably means both are damaged anyway.
