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.

Hey guys,
On all the reviews I've seen it says the screen is prone to scratches/finger prints/lint etc - is there a screen protector I can use to eliminate all these problems... can you get screen protectors that repel finger marks? (sorry, can't think of a better way to phrase that) - if so could you please link me to the one you've been using?
My other concern is that the battery doesn't seem very big - how long are you guys getting out of your Compacts on average?
Cheers

Thanks I did see screen protector thread before posting, but my question's more if a screen protector can counter all the negative remarks said about the display in reviews
The built in screen protector of Sony in this device is already doing great for a protector. I say you should be more worried about the back side being scratched than the fron portion Also battery life you'll be overwhelmed by it's capacity to hold a single charge.

Not agreed with Riyal, if you are saying the Built in Screen Protector (Means the ASF Anti Shutter Film) then you are wrong, a lot of users from Z1 and Z1 Compact reported that the ASF scratch easily, attract dust and fingerprint.
Or maybe you are talking about the Screen underneath the ASF (by removing the ASF and lost the Sony Logo) then I don't know as I've not tried it yet.
Some users had a Screen Protector included in the Box (Depends on carrier and where you buy), then even the spare Screen Protector included in box are not good enough to prevent scratches and fingerprint.
Therefore, I would really recommend to get a decent protector for "Front" and "Back". Battery wise is good and last me more than 2 days of normal used. (My normal used consider FB, XDA, News Feeds, Browsing web, sync, email, whatsapp, Hangout, G+, Wifi, Mobile data, No GPS and other minor setting tweaks)
My feedback was from personal experience though... I already had 3 sony phones.
Xperia Pro, Xperia S and this Xperia Z1 Compact. The oldest sony device I have is Xperia Pro which I still use for 3 years now. And I can even show proof that the built in screen protector of my Xperia Pro still doesn't have even a single hairline scratch. Same goes for my Xperia S which I sold now and now on my Xperia Z1 Compact.
I'm not sure how those other users handle their phone to the point that it scratches the screen but I can say that if used properly you won't have any trouble with the built in protector. But of course... The protector is plastic it would get scratched when it's scratched by an object that's sharp and harder than plastic obviously.

+1 There have been so many reports of the ASF being easily scratched that I recommend putting a protector on asap, which for me is before I've even turned the Phone on.

I would need to see that proof before even considering to believe that. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow of how my current protector looks, but I can always remove it and add another, once the ASF has just one little blemish then you'll be kicking yourself because the only way then to remove that blemish would be to remove the ASF. I also take the resale value into account too.
I would upload one later on Time to test macro photography of Z1 Compact then haha!
I also have BTW a nokia N900 which has a resistive screen(made of plastic) and also no scratches and that's almost 5 years old now
Yeah I'm an avid fan of phones with HW qwerty keyboard.

The screen protector is awful...
Already have a deep scratch and I'm a very careful person... On the back I already have a film protector, so I can't give any feedback, but the screen protector on the front is very, very soft to protect from almost any scratch...
First, dont worry about the battery - the phone's battery life is fantastic. only bettered by 3000mAh+ phablets
Dont worry about the screen panel - it's a lovely 720p part with neutral colours which makes photos and videos look fantastic.
*Do* worry about the back - it's a horrible plastic that scratches easily.
*Do* worry about the Anti-Shatter-Film on the front. It's an abomination. It picks up dust, it scratches, and will need to come off sooner rather than later.
(compare this with any iPhone 4S+ screen after 2 years hard use - spotless, no/few scratches, oleophobic, lovely cold glass touch - it's no wonder that Sony have *finally* conceded and removed the plastic film from the Z2 (and hopefully Z2 mini))

I should add - I feel this is the best android device currently available, and I use it every day. Despite the caveats listed I would definitely recommend it.

I've ordered a screen protector, would you recommend removing the ASF before fitting it in that case?
The display edges come off in a well defined 3 mm frame. The separation is under the glass!
Started in the bottom edge, now getting around. Best to be seen on the attached picture.
Anyone else seen that flaw?

Yup a good few of us have it. I got a silicone case to hide it.
There are quite a few online shops selling them. Go for a black one as all the others are transparent and don't cover the fault so well.
Is there any hint how to solve it? Only screen replacement?
THX,
Sim
I have the same, started from the top.
Has there been any progress on this?
Mine started showing the same symptoms about a month ago. At first, it was just on the sides, just a bit, now I can see it on about 75% of each side and 100% of the top border, and has also started to show on the bottom side. I don't care much because one of the first things I did when I bought the phone was sticking a tempered glass protector, so I guess the protector would eventually prevent the screen from completely separating from the body. Anyway, I've just purchased a brand new Asus Zenfone 2 and the P8000 will rest inside a drawer. I might eventually give it to my girlfriend if her already 3 year old Samsung phone stops working in the future, so that's when I'll see whether it gets worse
Mine has started to show this in the top right corner of the screen - Moto G4 might get purchased soon. At least I can buy it in the UK and get a warranty.
My screens just cracked from the groove in case by earphone jack, must be a pressure point phone was in my pocket.
Not being too technical if I want to fix this can I just buy one of those cheap tempered glass screen £1-2 ( I think there just for protection though) or do I need full screen set seem around £40.
I'm with IM7 think getting Moto G4 plus, but shame bin the P8000 just for cracked glass screen.

Slowly but surely the delamination is spreading. Headphone socket is also now broken and unusable. Oh well - it was fun while it lasted. At least the huge battery works!
Last 2 weeks has been a pain without headphone socket - 1700 miles and not able to play Spotify downloads in my car, or listen to music relaxing by the pool. Add to that a rapid spreading of screen delamination that looks like it's spreading inwards further than before.
Dual SIM Moto G4 ordered for delivery tomorrow....
Can we do something about the screen delamination? My phone is still fully functional but it looks gross...

Hi
New to this site but read an article you guys wrote on the new Z2 having issues with the front screen scratching easily. I purchased the phone 2 weeks ago and am enjoying it. But have noticed several scratches on the front screen. I am bit anal when it comes to protecting my screens on all my phones so this issue has me worried. All have done was put the phone in and of my pocket and there is definitely seems to be a problem.
I called Motorola and they agreed there was a problem with the screens and sent me a link for replacement. When I clicked on the link they wanted $29.99 to replace. The phone is only 2 weeks old and so far everything is great about it, I even purchased a few mods. But what good is a phone with amazing graphics when your screen is covered in scratches.
Any one having same issues ? Any advice on how to remove the scratches so I can put a stronger screen protctor ?
Thanks

What is the link for the screen? I too have little fine scratches on my screen of my Moto Z2 Force of course due to the type of material it is made of. I just want to replace it and put a screen protector on and should be good to go. Scratches are the only complaint I have about my Z2 Force to look on the positive side. I am more than happy with it and I had no idea when I bought it that they would have mods for this phone ! So what a fantastic surprise..
Scratches here are not a problem. Here all ok with the screen, just crackle by pushing the screen and battery just 2677mAh after few months. The battery is dead before anything going wrong with the screen, right? But great device. No screen protector needed here, no scratches.
Hi, I have replaced screen on galaxy a70, with original from another phone, completelly functional screen, exact same, but i can't add fingerprint, i can add it to like 20% without any problem, but after that it says fingerprint cannot be recognized. I have tried with piece of protective glass over the screen and that works perfectlly. One thing that i noticed is that the phone before screen replacement had a protective glass, but phone from I picked the screen didn't. Is the sensor focused little bit more far due to that glass? I did factory reset but that did not helped.
