easy screen scratching?

I moved from the iPhone 4 nd had zero screen scratches in the 2years I had it. I already got one on my s3 just wondering if anyone else noticed your screen scratched?

Nope...and should have a few by now glass seems legit so far

none yet but my screen does make a clicking noise at the top if you tap it

Found super fine scratches after two weeks and went with screen protector. First time in the last 4 phones.
Gorilla glass 2 isn't all its cracked up to be.

Nothing here. I cleaned up the screen for the first time after a month and it's just perfect... probably because i usually leave it in hit case while i don't use it.

I had a iPhone 4s and my screen was scratched and how that happened I had no idea as I am always very careful. I got a galaxy s3 and had no screen scratch however my buddy got his s3 also and has a screen scratch so it depends If it has glass it can get scratched bottom line doesn't matter what phone it is or what type of glass. I would just get a screen protector to be safe like I did.

I have a similar issue, from time to time I feel like the top layer of the phone is detached somehow when it doesn't look like it and oddly enough when I randomly touch the top near the call speaker, you feel that little push to the phone, clicking it back into place

HOX is perfect while SG3 has a scratch
I've had my HTC One X longer then I have had my GS3 and for some reason the GS3 has a small scratch in the screen, while my One X screen is perfect. I thought both of these phones had gorilla 2 on them?

Same thing I've noticed comparing Galaxy Nexus to HTC Sensation and now GS3 with OneX. It seems Samsung puts a oleophobic coating on their phones which helps resist smudges, make them easier to clean. I believe this coating is what you see those fine scratches in. The glass itself is not getting scratched just this coating. I've only seen it on Samsung phones. My Nexus has these fine scratches that can only be seen in direct sunlight and can't be felt or affect the display in anyway. Same thing happened with my GS3 until I swapped it out for some other issue - this replacement GS3 I stuck a screen cover on it so I don't have to be bothered with the fine coating scratches.

Yes, got scratch on a screen after less then a month of owning this. Owned original Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 and neither had any scratches in several years I had them.

YES mine has scratched easily! And I'm fairly careful with my phones and screens. My S1 and S2 were amazing and practically unscratchable but this phone dud come with a DIFFERENT VARIATION OF NEWER GORILLA GLASS. Can't find the article but it is different. My scratches aren't major but definitely there and came within 3 days...as well this phone is easier to crack the glass so be careful. I know one friend who easily cracked his and Rogers has stated they have had several returns already too. So take 'er easy on this phone. I now have screen protector which I never needed in past

For me personally it's bad call. Why get this top of the line phone with excellent screen and then put something on top of it which would make screen duller? This was never an issue with previous Galaxy S phones and Samsung screwed it up somehow with this iteration.

I felt the same way when I had iPhone 4. Too off protection and in a month had very faint scratches. From there on always put on protection. It's like a condom. Yes makes it duller but always worth the protection. Lol

One question for the op, how do you make sure no dust is between the glass and the surface underneath? I have a hard time applying a screen protector!!

im sorry but screen protector has nothing to do with the digitier screen LCD, its more likely for the front glass and to keep away from dust between the front glass and the LCD digitier, make sure you build a right adhesive rectangle tape around the digitier LCD

The first site posted (where you bought the glass) has the OEM adhesive tape.

Wow tonight I dropped my phone and it spiderwebbed really bad too. And I have the best otterbox on it. And I dont have insurance on it. So it looks like you had a similar problem right? If I follow your guide I should be able to fix it myself? The phone still works perfectly just glass is smashed. I guess that I really dont have anything to lose right. I still cant belive that the otterbox failed. It was only a 3 foot fall I have drop. I wish I could call otterbox and get them to help but oh well.

yes you will be able to fix it yourself if you listen and follow the video carefully and don't rush in this operation cause you might scratch the LCD digitier...and if your front glass is all shattered, use tape to hold them down before lift the front glass up or take them out in each piece if you feel comfortable in that way

Check on YouTube there are very good tutorials

I'd recommend iShieldz screen protector. It lasts a long time, and is very stable. I had mine on my phone for 6 months before I took it off.

Will these screen protectors reduce the sensitivity of your screen to the touch?

Yes, they do, at first. But, only by a little. The sensitivity returns as you use your phone. I put one on in March and its as sensitive as none at all now.

i cant find screen protector for One V, I had to cut one from Galaxy s3 just to make it fit in the screen.

I've tried screen protectors in the past but never liked how they felt and realized that I can buy a replacement screen on ebay for a little over $10. With some of the tiny torx screwdrivers I invested in (home depot had them for $10), I can replace my screen if I feel it gets bad (youtube videos can show you how to take it apart). That is my solution. The added bonus is that if you break your screen, you have the stuff to replace it.

fingerprints on screen

This may sound like a question but it isn't.
Am I dreaming or is the screen of the Note 8 so much more resistant to fingerprints and other things?
I am surprised daily at how good a screen it is and how clean.

It is! I only got a screen protector due to thinking the s-pen may damage it, but it is starting to tear apart, so might as well remove it.
Will try to get a tempered glass protector though

In India,..We got the note 8 with a screen protector out of the box...Can't say the same with the screen protector

Not 100% sure, but the screen is most probably covered with oleophobic coating, which would make it grease/sweat/fingerprint resistant. If so, the question is how long will it last - on my Note 1, it started to wear off after a year or so.

Same here

It is not resistant for me. I actually think is the reverse. Never seen so many fingerprints in a screen before

Mine too. I have a Note 2 and a Note 8. The Note 2 stays pretty clean, while the Note 8 looks like sh*t.
But a quick wipe and it is clean again, so no problem.
And no, my N5100 did not come with a screen protector.

Tempered glass screen protector

Did anyone else get the screen protector from the OP store? I must say it feels way to small... It doesn't cover the edges at all... Are they all like this?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Yeah, they are all like this. I sold mine right after it came.

Mine came in short as well. And it is quite bothersome. It can be annoying when watching a video to see a rainbow line all the way across the screen.

Yea... I think i'll just have a naked screen untill i find a better one.

You have it backwards, my friend. Better to keep it on until you find one. Some scratches come out of no where! The annoyance of the nonfitting glass is a small price to pay for an undamaged screen. In my opinion. Im just very ocd about my screens and phone over all. Lol

glad you were intelligent enough. I put the new glass right on unpacking the op3 and removed it after 45 minutes... Hope there will be soon better fitting tempered glasses..

Try Ultimate Shield. For oneplus one is perfect. Maybe for OP3 it's ok
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Somewhere on oneplus page I found that the glass protector and foil are smaller because the screen is not flat at the edges and so you would see bubbles on the edges.
