Hi,
I have got my One X for about 2 weeks now and there are multiple micro-scrathes on its screen already... (some of them are covering half of the screen). They are only visible when the screen is off and under certain lighting and angle, but it is quite annoying - I am worried how would the screen look like after a couple of months.
I am very careful with the phone and never keep it in my pocket with any other items. I have got HD2 previously for almost 3 years and with the same usage pattern its screen hasn't got a single scratch.
I suspect it is not Gorilla Glass that gets scratched, but some kind of coating (oleophobic?) on the screen.
Is your experience similar?
Dude there something with the screen.Its sh1t. i dropped the phone yesterday from my bed and on the right top of the screen there is a brake on the screen and some scratches too.I had Galaxy S and i dropped it several times and from higher position than bed and non a single scratch i dont mention the ****ing brake.i am already thinking replacing the digitizer .its a fuking new phone its not that i have problem with the broke as long my lcd is working but u know what i mean
was the swearing necessary?
replacing the glass is hard- the screen and lcd are apparently attached and spare parts are expensive, let alone the effort required to disassemble the phone (as the m/board etc are attached directly to the screen)
the screen is also laminated - maybe this coating is getting scratched? i don't know exactly what laminated glass is, just what it achieves.
Its necessary when they say Gorilla Glass should be Gorilla Glass.Its the same screen as galaxy s.Anyway i am afraid removing the digitizer would damage the LCD too by accident and the problem will be larger. so i am not quite ready to do that.i can live with a scratch
Sorry to hear your dramas with the phone.
I have mine now over a month.
I use a flip leather case now, but had none for the first two weeks and I use my phone a lot but with no screen protector and I don't have any scratches on it.
You must have hit something with sharp edges hard.
I had a SG2, never had a screen protector and was exposed as I didn't use a flip case. It never got any major scrathes, but hundreds of tiny ones that could be scene in the right light only.
This is a much better glass in my opinion.
Hope you are able to fix yours without too much trouble.
Cheers.
I too have many minor scratches, it does not hinder its use so I'm alright with it, I was but no longer using the HTC branded flip case that phones4u have me when I upgraded. Offers no protection and is clumsy to answer phone quickly lol.

I have noticed these micro-scratches too (funny I googled HTC One X micro scratches and this page came up). I haven't dropped my phone and I haven't put it in my pocket with anything else. At first I only noticed them in the sun, but now I can see them indoors as well. You have to turn the display off and hold it at an angle to see the scratches, but they are there.
Today i returned mine after 2 weeks it had a scratch in the midle on the screen and it was visible when the screen is off...
I hope they replace it i dont whant to have a scrached phone that costs 700 euro and is suposed to have gorila glass.
And i havent droped it or put it in my pocket with other items.

Are you sure they are scratches? I noticed something similar on my HOX the other day and thought I'd scratched it at first, but the whole screen seems to have that pattern and it's far too regular to be tiny scratches. I think it's part of the screen (digitiser?) as scratches wouldn't look so regular.
Think I have a few on mine now...not gonna get too beet up about it, it's only a phone and will probably be swapping it for something else in six months..... Which will probably get scratched too, lol.

Wow I'm really surprised when I read these posts
My story I had my one x in my pocket no case or screen protector and was in a rush for the bus and just chucked my coins in my pocket not realising it was the same pocket my one x was in and ran for the bus only when I went to get my coins that I realised my phone had been bouncing around with the coins in my pocket like a washing machine while I was running
Subsequently I almost scrapped myself thinking I've commited the ultimate sin I expected to see a crapload of scratches
To my disbelief besides a couple of light scratches on the polycarbonate back that just rubbed off the screen was fine I remember think what?! That can't be right and for the whole bus ride I was furiously examining the screen, holding it on an angle in the light to try and detect even the most minor of scratches and still found nothing ever since then I couldn't stop praising the screen on the one x
The camera lens was also scratch free but I'm thinking that was just sheer luck

Guys I am forced to believe HTC isn't using Gorilla Glass on all models.. I had the Thailand version and it scratched crazy easy. I now have the HTC ONE XL and i can take a key to it..
I have two minor (about 5mm in length) hairline scratches on mine. Inspected my screen at an angle with powerful flashlight just to barely notice them after having read this thread.
I'm not going to be bothered by those, but I am going to do an occasional inspection and if I notice a trend I'll put a screen protector on.
I have some screen protectors for the phone and even applied one, but tore it off immediately because the bare screen is much better to the touch and does not have that stupid rainbow effect the protector had.

I had the thailand version too.
maybe some problem from there not using gorila glass.
Get a screen-protector ! I did as soon as I got my phone, why risk it

Yeah, these are definitively legitimate scrathes, very irregular, there is no pattern.
They seem to get worse and worse every day...
A $2 dollar screen protector would have prevented this. Just saying.

I am tired of reading about problems in HOX. I start to think I have another phone no one x. I have it 1.5 month. I have no problem at all.
I am not using screen protector and case. Just a poutch.
Twice I had drop it from the base of the car and hit the screen in different places. No problem.
Usually I put in my pocket without the poutch. There is no scratch on the screen and polycarbonate.

My nexus phone has about 10 bad scratches and now has a hairline crack on the screen. I have NEVER EVER has a broken screen going back to my sprint PPC 6601? I dont know what hardened glass they used but it sucks
That's why I always use a wet apply screen protector, I recommend one for your next phone.
Two, 1/8" scratches on my phone is, without using a screen protector since about May is all I got, really not even noticeable unless looking for them. Even took it to the beach twice, sorry for your bad luck OP.
I'm using my GNex since its Germany launch in November 2011 without a screen protector or a case, took it to the beach, used it several times as a flash light while fixing my car, have it on the laboratory table at work next to different solvents, and went many times drinking with it and found it on the floor the next day. All it got is a barely visible 1cm scratch that you can only see in the right light if you know where to look.
So sorry for your bad luck, but the hardened glass is sufficient for my usage.
9 months without a case or screen protector for me. Not a mark on it anywhere. :good:
Only got a small one under ear speaker. Screen itself is flawless. No protector for 8 months now...
Hey all,
I've had the G4 for about 3 weeks and the screen sensitivity is my only gripe. It sometimes takes several taps to get it to respond and when scrolling in various apps it will not always respond. Like many others I have a glass screen protector and I've read a few times that people think that might be part of the issue. I want to test this without destroying the current protector I have by removing it. I have also noticed that if I need to push for several seconds on the same spot (mainly for long pressing on the keyboard) my finger will move around slightly and not always tap the area I was aiming for.
Anyone else remove their glass screen protector and notice better performance? Or maybe switching to a non-glass protector? It can be frustrating when thinking you tapped the screen and then doing it again and again.
I went to return my phone, peeled off the screen protector, and the difference was huge. Still very weak touch response even without a protector, though. Less sensitive than a Samsung or iPhone anyways. I decided to just get used to it and it doesn't really bother me as much anymore. I went with a warranty replacement to be safe anyways, and it does seem to be a little better than my previous phone. Still a much weaker touch response than my S4 ever had, but i will say that my gf's iPhone 5 is much worse with her thicker glass protector (i bought a really thin .2mm one, which has already spidered within a week xP)
Thanks for the response Ryan. I'll probably remove the glass protector as well then. I bought the one that Verizon offered which I think is a generic brand. It looks great on the phone but with this issue it's not worth it. Thanks again!
Just a quick update. I replaced my glass screen protector with this one from Spigen and it is noticeably better. As Ryan mentioned previously, still not perfect which I believe is something that LG needs to work on. The phone is not as responsive as it should be. The previous glass protector was too thick and this Spigen one makes a huge difference. I still occasionally have to tap twice but this at least makes me want to throw the phone less.
I use an Invisashield and I haven't had a single issue with touch responsiveness. I just got my phone a few days ago so maybe it's got something different. I don't know.
Hello all, like the title says, when I leave the phone lock for long time, 20 min or ore, I cannot wake it up, not by 2tap or power button. The only way is to take out the battery. I just bought the phone 2 days ago and I install android 6 and made a factory reset. Any idea why? And how to fix it?

do you have a screen protector (mostly tempered glass) that covers the light sensor on the top bezel? that gave most people trouble (lots of reports here somewhere). replacing screen protector with right cutouts or simply peeling it off fixed most of people here.
So, recently my z fold 3 developed some small Cracks on the inner screen along the "CREASE". It's more than a year of use and now it's not under the warranty. It seems to be a common problem as these folding screen have a limited lifespan..
What to do..??
Are you unfold in temperatures below 0 degrees celcius?
If you are cracks so only possible is replace screen, use like this for full damage or sold like broken and buy new device.

Just check it's not the factory fitted screen protector that's not cracked. Mine cracked after ~12 months.
This can be removed and the screen has been fine since (>2 months now)
No man.. I removed the screen protector long time ago when the factory fitted screen protector started to intake bubbles along the crease.. after using it for a while I removed the screen protector and now I can discover new tiny cracks in every 2-3 days... it feels the screen will break in half if this continues..
You removed the Screen Protector and now you complain, that the screen developped some cracks? and now you want to know, what to do?
It's easy: Send it in for repair or dispose your device and buy a new one ...

Thats a shame. I agree with the post above, I think cold temperatures make them more susceptible.

You HAVE TO when it bubbles up, because it traps dirt and actually cracks the screen early. The screen protector doesn't protect from cracks forming in the crease of the display.
Samsung under fire as Galaxy Z Fold 3 screens crack for no reason at all after warranty expires
Multiple Galaxy Z Fold 3 users are complaining about a cracked internal display even though their phone sustained no trauma.
www.phonearena.com
Bigger case
My inner screen protector went bonkers about a week or two before 1 yr warranty expired last August....contacted Samsung and they sent me to a place to have a new screen protector installed (no fee). The person didn't do a good job, had a few bubbles.....I eventually traded it in to Samsung at the time the ZFold4 came out. Hope inner screen protector lasts longer.
The same crack happened to me as well.
I had to remove the screen protector after 6 month because it started to peel at the crease, trapping dust under it.
Two month after warranty expired, the screen cracked internally in the middle.
Our local samsung dealer claim that I broke the screen though no damage can be seen.
Someone should put a class action against samsung. It seems that everyone who purchased a samsung foldable device, will join the claim.
