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
I actually dont mean that the screen is easy to be scrached, but some other parts of the phone
(Some people tell me about it, I'm not sure which part is it exactly)

I prefer a phone that's completely unbranded.
Whenever someone asks me what phone it is I tell them it's a Sony and they're amazed.

Removing the pre installed screen protector is the stupidest thing you can do .. It releases all the pressure of the shatter proof glass so now it can crack with the slightest drop ...

It's not hard to apply another screen protector without the Sony logo.
Can't really call it shatter proof glass if it cracks without a screen protector :/

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.

Hey, I've never used a screen protector on my arc, and though the scratch resistant screen is brilliant, I think I will use a screen protector for future use. What screen protector do you recommend me get from either ebay or amazon? I do not want to pay alot for one but I also do not want a rubbish one haha
Sent from my XPERIA Arc LT15i using XDA
There are a lot of screen protectors out there but what I have heard is that Copter and Invisible shield should be nice protectors.
Note, that some protectors comes with a liquid for mounting it. Be really careful not to get any of this liquid into the phone.
I personally don't use any protector but I think it's great that there are a lot of options available on the market today.
If you are living in Europe go to a nearby store where you can buy a voucher for crocfol.de.
15€ for 2 screenprotectors!
I've got one on my screen and it fits perfectly and has no ( not a single one!) Bubbles under the surface.
I really recommend it.

Were you ever be able to take it of your screen? I can't get it off... What is the point of a factory placed screenprotector when you cant take it of?
So that means I got two screen protectors on my screen? I think the screen just looks a bit like there is a screen protector, but there isn't.

I took it off, took 5 mins, but when you have a corner it goes off easily.

ZAGG invisible shield is the best screen protector i've ever seen, and tried on i-phone
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!

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.

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

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.
:laugh:Hi guys i need some help to figure out before replacement;
my phone felt from my window on the second floor, the screen is NOT CRACKED, my touch screen is working BUT i can't see a thing, when i press power button the screen flashes or sometimes black and white stripes appears.
What do you think it is?
Do i need to replace everything(touch screen and LCD)?
PLEASE HELP, people are charging me an unbelievable price.:crying:

I´m thinking about wipe the original screen protector and install invisibleshield. The original protector just sucks because it is magnet for scratches...
Yea I just want to have an extra one because I want to take mine off and have just the glass-m screen protector. One less layer between me and the screen.

It does have the sony logo so if this is what anyone wants this is the place to get it. I have a feeling these will be harder to install than regular ones since it has an adhesive. I order a 3m vikuiti i believe it was called and it has adhesive on it and man it was hard to install. So for the guy who ordered it please keep us posted once you receive it.
