My T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 screen has had about 3 medium sized airbubbles for a couple days, when i bought it used, and i thought that it was just the plastic of a new phone, or a screen protector. I went to take it off today, but there doesnt seem to be any plastic or anything.
The screen seems** to be raised slightly, and when i push it down the air-bubbles will act accordingly, then when i release the screen, they will go back to their normal positions.
any ideas on this or how to fix it? it looks really tacky. Thanks!
do you have insurance? maybe try to get it replaced? i'd have never bought it like that. i'd be tempted to push a needle in to pop the bubbles, but my first move would be trying to get a replacement.

sounds like the guy dropped it in water. Are you sure its not a zagg invisishield? They look like the basic screen protectors but are much more durable.
see, it really could be, but like, im trying to pry it off..and im not getting anything. is the whole front of the phone (the screen, and the black parts) supposed to have that plasticy-touch screen feel? because thats how it is.

My touch pro 2 did come with a screen protector in the box from Htc so there is every chance it is that. Ive never seen an lcd touch screen with bubbles before, even when damaged, only in the screen protector. Is there no signs of an edge at all especially around the buttons?

I bought a couple of Htc orig ones but im really **** at putting them on! Dont bother with cheap **** ones on ebay. Either Htc ones or other more expensive ones like invisible shield. That bit extra will be worth it.
Yeah I suck at putting them on too. I always end up with air bubbles, lint or hair in them or at the very least its misaligned or I had to take it off and put it back on so many times one of the edges are bent or doesn't stick. I ordered 2 mirrored ones to take the place of the stock one on there now. Wish me luck, I have 2 shots.
Go to the AT&T store. You get three for $10 and they are easy to put on.

I do that, too! The problem is I'm too stupid to perfectly align the screen protector, and it goes on the edges, so I have bubbles along some of the edges.

This is the HTC Touch Pro 2 forum. You might have better luck posting in an LG forum.
It could be a screen protector, but we are not familiar with the screen issues that the Optimus might have as we do not have that phone.
Hi..
The Xperia arc has a special screen (like the iphone) against the scratches? i have read that it have a screen protector but can it be replaced?
I'm thinking about buy a screen protector
Yes, I tried all 3 versions I could find :
- anti glare, to dark for me not nice on screen
- mirror, to much mirror when screen is off it is really a mirror
- normal, this one is the best not hard to aply and when you aply it right than you can't see it is there fits perfect
yes.. it has a screen protector.. don't replace it... unless you really have to.
but the xperia doesn't have a screen protector by default? ... i see little scratches because my dad put the phone in his pocket ¬_¬ ... so i want to know if the xperia haves a screen protector and it cant be replaced for a new one
Like I said the ''clear'' that is the normal one, is very nice it feels much better than the one that is already on it and I bet you can't see it

guys, if i buy a chunk of gorilla glass, can i cut it so it fits the phone? i have the steady hand and good precision, im asking if it work or not. and how much would a chunk of gorilla glass cost? I already got the glass cutting tool my present screen was scratched when i slid it on a normal wood table!! the scratch isnt bad, but really annoying if it reflects the light badly when in sunlight and... you get what im saying
no, you cant cut it with normal glass cutting tool...it is a hardened glass...if you try to do so it may break

can you point out a tool that can cut it? for the general knowlege or maybe practical
I don't think you get a gorrila glass just like in the market. And if you find a seller you would have to buy like huge sheet of glass or sth.
And if you find it, how are you gonna install it??
BTW wouldn't it look odd to have a glass elevation on your phone. If you want to change the touch screen just directly go to Samsung service center. I got my galaxy ace's screen fixed for Rs.2500

if u realy want to.....maybe u can cut it just like the glass display and replace the glass part all together....
but u will need alot of skill, and u will have to get gorrilla glass from somewhere ...
its expensive and u will have to probably have to buy a huge chunk.
not advisable and not even sure if its possible
you can buy maybe galaxy note screen then sand it to fit or something? I"m no expert about glass.

I don't think you can do what you are suggesting here. The screen on the phone is not plain glass or plastic, its a digitizer turning touch signals to system functions (hence the "touch screen"). You can't just take a gorilla glass panel and replace the digitizer.
i suggest you use a screen protector (vikuiti perhaps?), it's much cheaper and easier.

i would thank you but i ran out of thanks per day maybe later.
thanks for this, i would probably have effed up my phone!!
i remember someones HTC touchpro wouldnt work without the special plastic when he pealed it off
my problem isnt having scratches mainly, its just the glass is so crap! sometimes i can see the lcd flick under my thumb when i use the phone (and im not pressing too hard either) i dont know why. and anyway the gorilla feels better when you touch it. lol i mean gorilla glass.
I agree with tomsi191, I think you'd loose the "touch" functionality.
Just don't press so hard on it !

mine got scratches from the zipper on the pockets of my jacket ?! i was too lazy to buy a screen protector
anyway you can buy a digitizer for about 20$ in ebay and there is even a video tutorial in youtube on how to change it
about the other problems you mentioned, it's not the digitizer, the lcd screen on this phone is crappy (probably the only thing crappy in G3)

Hi
just need to know whether Arc S has a built in screen guard from the company or not !
cuz from the beginning m not using any protection as i see an edge around the corners that reflects the dual surface, which i believe is the original protector !
plz help as i want to put a guard now as i see sme minor scratches which are alarming !
awaiting reply
Yep the phone comes with 'mineral-resistant screen'. However it is best to put another screen protector on it just to be on the safe side I have a mirrored one
thnx ! but if that mineral protector is somehow peeled off ! is it bad ? cuz i did that deliberately !

Really? At least on my phone I even did not try because it looks like almost as its fixed there and cant be peeled.
Mine as well didn't last long.. In just couple of days air bubbles started to breed between the screen and the protector! I had to take it off and apply a new one (you can buy in mobile shops)
A good tip is to make sure there's absolutely no dust on the screen before you start applying the protector
Stock protector is applied so precisely and is so sticky that it's almost impossible to "accidentally" remove it. So I don't know how did you manage to do that, really.
Also, can someone explain to me how is it possible for bubbles to start appearing under screen protector all by themselves, for no reason??? Some new laws of physics maybe, or...?
I scratched the display, is about 1 inch, not very visible and only when the phone is off.
Is there a solution to remove the small scratch ? Could i, maybe, in the future, to replace the screen display ?
Thank you
The ZL comes with a screen protector installed on it. Remove the screen protector and install a new one.

Did you scratched the surface of the glass or just the screen protector. Make sure.
Because all the latest Sony phones comes with the screen protector preinstalled.
I thought the phone comes with Dragontail, making it relatively scratch resistant?
Beautiful...
I just got a "Hand-me-down" Sony ZL (It is Great to have friends in the Business).
But there is a small 1" scratch in the top half of the screen. Not too bad when it is on but ugly when the screen is dark.
I only just now, after reading your posts, noticed that the screen already has a screen protector.
Is there anythign special needed to remove the old one?
I am jsut waiting for Amazon to deliver my new screen protecter than I will remove the old one and have a perfect phone.
Thanks for the heads up...

That's true. Some people say it is dragontail based on the Z screen... but I saw a test on youtube... this guy scratched the screen, then removed the protector... after that he tryied to scratch using knifes and keys but the screen was intact.

While it shouldn't be removed... unfortunately, it's REALLY easy to scratch that "protector"...
They do remove easily and you can replace it with a different screen protector, I'm unsure what removing it might do to your Warranty... (mine ended up rather scratched up, and I replaced it with a Skinomi protector instead...

I think it's better than the original protector... But I've used this style of screen protector on other phones before as well, and found them to be pretty good.
Based on what I saw with the screen and finger prints, you don't want to try and use this phone without any screen protector... that just ends up being a mess waiting for a place to happen...

thank you brother, thats good to hear since i've already ordered one lol. :laugh:
so would you say getting the old one off is fairly easy? does it leave some sort of residue on the screen after removing?
thanks again for the info! mine has a couple of marks/scrapes on it that just annoy the heck out of me. love this phone if not for that.

The old one wasn't too hard to take off... and I don't remember it leaving too much residue... start at a corner, and be careful... I think I used a needle to help me get it started... but was trying to be careful so I wouldn't actually scratch things under neath while trying to get the other screen protector off... you will want to clean the screen before you put the new protector on though...
