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

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.

Sony LT26i Xperia s cracked screen

Hi folks,
I am new here. Yesterday, my smartphone accidentally fell on the ground, and on the bad side. I did not have a protecting case on it, and the display cracked. The weird thing is that the display is still functional, works as good as it worked when the screen was not cracked. Since I used ezSEMC to unlock my phone, and I have also rooted my phone, my warranty is voided. Thus I am wondering what part should I get, and where to buy it online.
Thanks,
Sanil

I had the same problem and mines currently off getting fixed. Most bank accounts have mobile insurance included or optional so i got mine sorted that way. It's an expensive fix otherwise!

Glueing Xperia play in open position?

Im planing to get a brand new xperia play R800X just to use as a gaming device, im thinking of glueing it in the open position so the flex cable doesn't get damaged when opening closing the device.
i just know the flex is the weak spot, and i don't want it failing, and i will just use it for gaming
Does this sounds too crazy?

You could just be careful with it and not slide it open like you're trying to send it into another galaxy.

So it doesn't close with those applied, or for keeping the screen more separated when opening/closing?

I replaced my flex cable on my r800x. But after putting back together now my speakers sound is distorted. Hated that thing with a passion.

Have been using a R800x for 2 years with no flex cable problems sliding it open. If you just NEVER close it you will likely never have the problem. Why bother gluing it and risk screwing it up

No I disassembled my R800x 3 times and putting it back together I still have the same issue. The problem is to get to the flex you have to dissemble the whole xperia play which inclues the disassembly of the gamepad.

Just don't close it. It's not that hard. I've bought the play about 3 months after it came out (my 1st touch phone ) and I have it till this day and I've never had any problems with hardware. It's about 2 years and my play was never dismantled even tho I've got a custom firmware from about 3 days I got my phone. don't be so paranoid. Just take care of it and you'll be fine

[Q] Is the Sony Xperia Z durable?

I'm thinking of getting one on a 2 year contract, will the phone last for 2 years? I mean it's glass on the front and the back right?
And is the reception and call quality good? Can anyone tell me their experience with this phone so far?

You can post here, of course, but I'm not sure that you have a good answer to your request.
It was just a suggest

I think Xperia Z can last longer than Samsung and LG
I always fould people have their samsung screen cracked (some people say LG is weak too)
Sony phones are usually harder compared to most other brand (maybe not as hard as Nokia)
still, people usually found that XZ can be scrached easilly.
One problem of XZ is that the battery cannot be removed normally by us
Since you said u're going to use it for two years, i'm afraid the battery may get bad, then u need to pay sony for expensive replace

Yes, it's scratched easy but it has a pre installed screen protector right?

Yes, there's screen protector that can be removed. But some found that removing the screen protector will also remove the SONY logo

You already took it down?? (Well, this is your personal preference. I wont be like u...)
That protector actually have another function...
Sony said that it can reduce internal reflaction of the screen to give a more clear image.
Still, I would recommend u to buy a screen protector yourself.

[Q] Dust inside the touch screen

Hello Optimus G Pro fans,
I read somewhere that the reason why Apple decided to glue the LCD and digitizer is to prevent dust from entering the screen.
Since the Optimus G Pro's LCD are not glued to the digitizer, this could theoretically prone for dust accumulation inside the touch screen.
To prove my theory is wrong, I am asking you, Guys,
In real life, Has anyone notice a dust inside the touch screen after 6 months to 10 months of use ?

After one month i already got 2 spost in the top left corner, right next to the programmable 'quick' button.
I think it's not sealed well next to the button so dust could enter. You can only see it in bright daylight and the 2 dots seem to have trails to
Is this a reason to contact the lg service center? After 4 months of daily usage it has zero scratches on the screen (and on the phone to) i handle it with extreme care. I never used a screenprotector or a phone case or something.
I'll see if i can make a picture today or tomorrrow.

I have it also on the right top, but its very small and you cant see it so easy.
