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.
I ordered one from Daydeal.com Yesterday and waiting on it to arrive.
This would make my Third one Yes i know i said 3 but the first 2 had problems and were ordered from a different seller.
anyone out here found any of these that are good and screen and touch buttons work if so where did you find it at..
i'm still waiting on my one from daydeal
EDIT: Pics of the screen protector taken from my wife HERO
Tried to get a pic of where i had to cut out the opening for the camera (front)
Hey how did that screen protectore from Daydeal.com Work out? does it make it harder to touch the screen? are the capacative buttons functional with the protector on? is there a cut out for the front facing camera?
thanks for the info!!
I'm thinking about getting a 4 way privacy screen for a ipad and cutting it down to size since I can't find one cut for the evo.
I have a 2 way now but it doesn't work well in landscape and I had to cut the bottom of it to get the buttons to work. I also think it is to thick. It makes it difficult to do multi-touch.
I'm hoping since the ipad is nothing but touch that the products available for it might me a little thinner and more capable of multi-touch. Wish 3M would get in gear and realize that more people than just BB users want to protect their privacy. Not that a 4.3" screen is a beacon for prying eyes or anything....
The screen (privacy) protector from daydeal.com works great the buttons work perfectly the only issue is the front camera is not cut out but you can fix that with a hobby knife with no problem I'll post a pic soon of the screen protector on my phone with the camera cut out.

i had the clarivue and it worked great... it did have some spots where the finish came off.. around the edges but it wasnt bad.
i had to change the screen of my phone so i lost it but now that i dont have a screen protector makes me like how good the screen looks. not bad like before.
i ordered a clear protector now... dont think i will go back to the anti-figerprint or privacy.
Well I guess I can post up some pics... I bought a Privacy screen that came out to $7.99 including shipping from EBAY. It came with 3 screens, all privacy.... The first one was kind of peeling from the top but did the job... take a look see....the screen is on regular backlight in all pics exept 1
that cut on the top looks crappy.. but the peeling happend to be too from clarivue. it was also around some edges. i liked the screen but i now have a crystal clear... i have tried all but the mirror type protectors... and i will stay with clear...
when i had my screen changed not to long ago i noticed the huge differance in the way the screen look in a privacy vs clear... you cant beat the clear... at least for me.
i gave it some thought... if someone can see my screen well enough to read the screen then they are too damn close to me anyways lol

Same one I got from eBay. The cut on top doesn't obstruct the camera or sensors and the guard goes from top to bottom with no gaps. Buttons and touch are still very sensitive.
If not for that peeling corner (got it here too) this would be a complete WINNAR!
I wouldn';t be able to stand my screen looking that dim and crappy.
What are you guys like porn addicts or something? I know none of you are important enough to have secrets that actually need hidden when you are walking around on your phones.

Yes. We are all very important porn addicts trying to hide our shameful screens. If you're not a fan of privacy screens, that's fine - don't troll a thread that others might find helpful.
You don't have to be a porn fan to want a little privacy the protector are useful if you don't want people seeing your password when your typing or drawing it.. Or your text message.. Privacy screens have more uses than just for porn if you want. I have a launch day evo and my screen still looks awesome with the privacy screen on the mirror protector is not useful it doesn't block anything unless you turn down the display brightness and that's no good cause then you can't see your own screen...

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 All,
Currently have a One X, love the phone, apart from the battery life and the locked bootloader. However it has managed to "gain" two 1 cm scratches that are really quite deep and very visible.
So I now have a Blue S3 on order, due with me on Monday, and I don't want to find myself in the same boat in terms of screen scratches, I just can't deal with having the screen messed up (maybe I'm a bit OCD).
Anyway, to the moral of the story, can people please give me suggestions for the best screen protector for the S3, I want to protect but I don't want to take anything away from the screen, I remember putting a zagg on an iPhone 4s, and it took the edge of the clarity of the display, and I don't want that at all for the S3.
I have searched and can't find a similar thread, apologies if there is.
Help greatly appreciated.

Hi, my s3 glass scratched within a week, thankfully around the home button, not the display & I'm pretty obsessively careful. I bought the otterbox commuter case and installed the included screen protector. I can see no effect on the brightness or clarity of the screen, but it was a bugger to get on right & only just covers the display area of the glass, leaving a lip that my finger catches on when I'm swiping from the edges of the screen. It's pretty annoying but I'll live with it for the protection, a bit like using a condom!

Jees, gotta love those folk who feel the need to take the time to post not 1, but 2 totally pointless and non helpful replies, when posting 1 helpful reply or adopting the "I have nothing good to say so I won't say anything" mantra would save him and everyone else the time.
I was hoping for a decent response, so I can order 1 now, so it arrives in time for the phone, which was Monday. So I don't have to go any time without protection, and get a scratch like 1 poster mentions.
IMO the best one is the clear one as i tried many, stay away from the matt or antiglare cause it cause a washed screen and dimmed colours.
They are selling it on ebay a pack of 6 for 3 pounds. hope that will help you
I've had done generic one which came with my case, a momax one and now I'm into a barely there.
The barely there is the best of the ones I've tried. It's matt finish so it does change the look of the screen slightly, it is a tiny but blurred now, but it's quite a small effect and once gotten used to it. The positive effects of using a matt protector are that my screen has no glare or reflection in the light now, making it easier to read when a light source is shining onto it. Also, while the glossy ones quickly become covered in fingerprints, they are quite hard to spot in this one.
It seems to be of decent strength and thickness. Have me a slightly better overlap in the edges than the first two I tried. Worked out cheaper as well ... for a twin pack for the same price as the one momax.

Matte screen protector
I ordered a matte protector for my S3.
Looked and felt really nice, kept finger prints off, but at the end of the day after a week or so i wanted to look at the screen with nothing on it at all. Looks far better.
Maybe a sock or something to keep it in is better than a protector ??

Mine also scratched at the home button, to be more spesific, at the back butto.
I think the best so far is the sgp nano clear.
I feel a bit stupid asking this , but here goes
I recently got an 8.4 Tab S that was 'unused' but the box had been opened.
I removed the plastic protection on the sides and from the camera lens but there didn't seen to be anything on the screen so I presumed the previous owner had removed it.
However the screen does have what I would call an oily appearance when it's turned off.....rather than the mirror black I would expect.
I remember a similar situation when I bought a Nexus 5.......it took me a while to realize there was an out of the box screen protector fitted.
If I look closely there seems to be a whiter area around the home button and the top speaker but its feint.
So...before I start digging around the edge of the screen could somebody advise?
Thanks
