So I bought my first ever android device the other day, an Xperia Arc S. Love it to bits, however I really am paranoid.
I haven't bought a case yet, so I dont take the phone outside (use my old phone) and I haven't got a screen protector yet either.
I was looking up screen protectors for the Arc S online and I came across a post that said apparently the phone comes pre-installed with a screen protector. Is that true? I know I have a spare set of screen protectors that came with the box, along with the HDMI cable, USB cable, Mains adapter and Headphones. However, no leather case as I've seen people mention!
I'm in the UK so it's a UK phone, and bought it Sim free and it's the white one.
If it does have a screen protector on, is the protection enough? Should I put on another screen protector, just to be safe?
yeah they come with screen protectors on. look at the corners/edges in the light and you can make it out. i've found the screen protector is enough protection, although if you are prone to dropping your phone often, you may want to consider purchasing a case/pouch.
also before you put another screen protector on, remember that screen protectors tend to dim the display as it creates another layer for the light to go through. also this extra layer means you may have to press a bit harder on the screen.
I even removed the factory applied screen protector as it was scratched up a bit and so far no scratches on the screen.

Thanks guys, so I take it it's a global thing, rather than it being region specific?
I've bought a case and pouch (hasn't been delivered yet)
Since you guys are owners of the Arc S, how do you feel about the bottom 3 buttons? Do they feel a bit loose and flimsy to you?
Got the Arc without S and the buttons don't feel lose.

Hmm that is a bit worrying. What I mean is that the other 2 buttons (back button and settings button) seem to only have one connection point (in the middle of either buttons) and because the buttons are long, as they move towards the Home button, it feels really loose, and I can press that part of it quite inwards without the phone responding?

My home button feels quite loose, other 2 buttons feels better.

Also I have a question, don't need to make a new thread for it I reckon:
The top of my screen (statusbar) burns in a bit, probably because of water (leaving it unprotected in a damp bathroom, I'm a dumbass). But there's another issue. I've got a lot of dead pixels in the top half of my screen, maybe ten of them, they're easy to spot on a black background. Could that be caused by suspected water damage too?
I've contacted support, and they said their logistics partner would call me to let them get my phone, but after two missed calls they haven't called in weeks (suckers).
The sticker on my battery hasn't coloured btw, and no other issues on the phone too.

Hello, found a few scratches on my Xperia Arc screen and got very disappointed, I thought it had scratch resistant screen, later I took a close look to the screen and found out that it had one more screen layer, could anyone tell me if it can be removed or not, because when I asked SE support team, the operator told me that it can be removed, I just wont a suggestion, help guys.
I would not touch that layer it is part of the capacitive sensor on the screen if I'm not mistaken
yeah, I'm afraid of that too, but support team convinced me in opposite
Yes, you can remove it without problems. I did it in December without problems so far.

how did you remove it? any suggestions to peel it off? It's a bit hard to do that ( with nails )
With my nails
It takes a while to pick up a corner, but once you got a corner picked up it's easy.

Part of capacitive sensor ?? Lol
Anyways..it's just a screen protector..if got scratched,replace it with a new one..
And in this case,i would suggest you to seek some professional help as you might end up making new scratches in order to remove the protector.It's a tough job and needs a lot of love and care d(^_^)
Thank you all, I did it, it really was a screen protector, if found layer like this on your arc , you should peel it off, as a result you get Better colors, touchscreen enhancement and sharper image.
I dont think that we should remove the screen guard. SE provides two screen guards with the handset. One comes already pasted on ur handset and other comes in the box. we need not remove it as it keeps the main screen safe from scratches..
I really agree with your, but that screen protector makes touchpad less sensitive and colors are less vivid, so I prefer being extra careful with my phone then looking at Less Attractive screen
Last time I checked the screen protector I have on doesn't change the quality, clearness or the color of the display. Just saying.
Protect your screen with one. Most of them now a good and leave your screen feeling normal.
i know its an old question but anyway i have one question.how hard is it to peel of the screen protector? im trying it right now and im afraid of braking something, should i force it off or what?
It is glued there so you may have to use some force to peel it off.

Hi, i got some dust inside a xperia play that is almost invisible and a white speck that is very visible inside a new xperia play, i also got another play that has some minor dust inside the screen that can only be seen by using a bright flashlight.
So my questions are:
1)Is this normal?
2)Did this dust came from the factory?
3)Will i continue to get more dust?
Thanks
1) I have some dust. But if you still can view the screen when using, it is okay. If you want, send to centre and ask them to clean it.
2) Possible.
3) There won't be more dust.

mey mate
that is not normal , i think your phone is second hand , there is no way for dust to come inside ( from factory )
i personally have some dust between touch digitizer and LCD, cauce i've changed my broken touch-digitizer. so i think that is not normal and please talk to sony support guys
Anyone more, i know some HTC phones like Desire and the iphone 3 and 4 have had similar problems, anyone more has dust that havent oppened their xperia plays?
I forgot to say the 2 cells where purchased brand new separately and both have some dust
hi

The iPhone 4 and beyond never had that problem. The digitizer and LCD are fused together.

Look online, there is tons of topics of people reporting the iphone 4 problems of dust, and some from the iphone 4s.
there is some reporting the play but i want to know if pople here got it too, look your play under a flashlight while off to see if you got dust that can't be cleaned.
Anyone?

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.

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!

I really love my newly bought Xperia Z1 compact , it is so amazing! But , i have got a few questions to ask and hope you guys can help me withIs the
Is Xperia z1 compact flaps tight?
Do i need a casing for it?
Can it endure a simple low height drop? As it will it not get cracks or bending of the phone?
Is the safe to drop into the water?
How long can the flaps on the phone last?
Is it safe to use it without casing and screen protection on the back?
Do you people think i should get a case ? For me i don't think i need as case pose a issue to it. I alwayd drop it into water , and if i have a casing on , i will need to take it out and dry it.
I know some questions are common sense , but i hope you guys can answer for me , what are you guys advices?
I knocked my phone of my bedside table while charging last night, didnt realise till i got to work that the flap had fell off. Luckily was on the floor when i got home and fitted back securely again.
Id recommend a protector for the back, mine has a lot of little scratch marks already, and i have a gel casing for work
