Hi, i have a digitizer with slight scratches, is there a filler i can use to fill the scratches and then put on a screen protector?
I got it second hand from someone who hasn't taken one bit of care with it, its a shame really, it works perfectly.

hello to all,
I had a small incident during some home repair work where I didn't realize that I had adhesive on the fingers when I answered the tel. After that I found traces of adhesive on the screen as one can see on the photo. I did not remember if I had placed a screen protector on my toshiba at the beginning or not. Then To check it I tried to remove it with the nail to take off an edge, and an end is actually detached, except that it does not look like a screen protector, but a kind of plastic layer semi-rigid which has the thickness of a protective film! It looks like a protective hard coat which comes with the phone but is not supposed to be removed.
I am afraid now to pull it off and damage my screen even more. Then I would like to know if somebody already experienced this problem and could remove this protective layer.
If so please share your experience. I may not be the only one with this issue.
Thanks a lot and sorry for my poor English.
That looks indeed like part of the case that protects the touch screen. I will try ebay and look for a replacement case.
its avible on ebay for 17 euros only
i think that surface is not a protective layer.. i think it's part of the touchscreen.
I removed mine today. Touch screen still works
The coating makes the screen less prone to scratches, and makes slight scratches less apparent. After removing the coating, I noticed the lots of tiny scratches I made on the screen, but they're gone after I stick a new screen protector on it.
I'm glad I removed it because there's a scratch on mine.

Can you report exactly how did you make it? Are you sure that it was not a previous protective screen? I've just bought a second TG01 with a scratched screen but I don't dare to do what you did

It is not a previous protective screen. It is factory applied, there's a lot of glue residue on the screen after I remove it. Took me a lot of time to remove the glue by "pushing" the glue to a side with my fingers, then cleaning it off with WD40.
I bought my second hand TG01 in June and have been using it every day ever since. A few days ago, presumably due to cold weather, I noticed this hard coat is starting to wear off, there's a mark on the screen like a badly applied screen protector, so I started to remove it.
The glue that stuck the hard coat onto the screen was very strong, so be patient and take extra care when removing the coat. Do it slowly so only the hard coat is removed but not the soft touch screen layer below it.
DO stick a new screen protector on the screen after removing the hard coat as the unprotected screen is more prone to scratches without the hard coat.
After two days of use, do NOT remove the hard coat. I think I damaged the touch screen in the progress, it's now very hard to tap on the intended position correctly.
Now going to buy a new touch screen

Thank you for your WARNING.
I wonder if you could film the process of changing the touch! If you have success (as expected) this video would be very useful for other people interested (as me)
Crossed fingers!
It's not a video and it might take google translator to understand it, but, thanx to a guy called chdeul, there are very interesting explanations and pictures on the french forum:

This is VERY interesting and well done description in the link you provided! I almost opened my phone but due to lack of appropriate courage and tools and understanding, I stopped for now, but will soon re-try!
Hi Xperia Active owners!
Anyone of you, who has removed the factory mounted screen protector? If so, do you have any scratches in the glass?
Best regards.

And why would one do that?
For example, if the screen protector itself has scratches and doesn't look nice anymore.
Good question, I having trouble taking my factory mounted screen protector off to replace it. Any ideas?
I removed mine after the phone fell screen first from my Bike handlebars on the sharp cut-off ends of another handlebar lying on the floor. The scratches were quite severe and i was totally shocked but luckily the glass itself was perfectly fine. I did buy a replacement protector but was too lazy to put it on. Meanwhile i don't think i need one anymore. My active has had some additional falls to the ground while i was running and the screen is still perfect.
Regarding you troubles removing them, yes it sticks very well but it can be removed from the bottom where the cut-outs for the mic are.

I removed my original screen protector also, becouse of the scratches.
But seems that now I can't use touch screen under water or with wet fingers.
Before, with original screen protector, it work under water with no problem, but now the it looks like screen does not detect the touch on screen with wet fingers.
Had anyone similar problems when removed the original screen protector and replaced it with replacement.
Does anyone know where can I get the original screen protector?
My Ray is 4-5 months old, and 1-2 months ago I noticed that glass on the camera is more and more peeling off...I have silicon case since day one, so it is not from scratches...maybe from removing smudges and dust here and there before thaking photo...I use my T-shirt on me (cotton, soft) and dont press hard...
It seems that this peel off and scratches doesnt affect photo quality as I dont see artefacts on photos - but, when whatching lens (glass) it can bee clearly seen as there is damaged somekind of protective film...
Does someone have same problems? Does this influence photo quality? It could bend light in different way...
Do you mean the protective piece of plastic on the center case covering the lens ?
Yeah, same prob here. The lens coating...but i think that's just protector against uv radiation from sunlight. Not sure though....

Re: Tearing My Hair out Plz Help
Yeah picture quality has started to suck because of that need finda way to overcome it
I think it is some kind of filter because it is visible when tilting phone.
I dont know could i send it on repair? Is it covered with warranty?
Way to overcome this could be screen protector! Liquid fills that 'scratches' so light is bend same way..atleast that works with scratched screen!
Would lens screen protector ruin photos? Is someone using it?
Second way to overcome is peel that coating completly..only how? With what?

we are talking abt this part r8?
Yes. What else? That glass over a lens.
I must find another camera to take photo of that 'scratches'!
Well i was having the same blue looking coating on my MINI's camera glass but after 2-3 months it started peeling off so i totally removed it and i dont find decrease in picture quality also i dont think its a scratch protector as that thing itself get peeled off than how come it will protect you camera glass?
How did you remove it?
I saw that people say about Displex - that is scratch removal paste (not for touch screens). I will try it - must go find it to buy. I used it years ago for my phone screen...it was great...It polish edges of big scratches and litle scratches so scratches are not visible any more - even big ones. It polis rough edges so light dont get bend differently and everything is ok. So I belive displex could remove that coating and polish that glass over lens!
Alternative would be to change that glass with plastic or something like that (maybe another phones glass)... But for now, I think that displex would be best thing to try. It is 5-10$ and can last long...
Is it safe to remove it and use ?

Try tooth paste! Polish, and leave 5min. Try few times!
Hello. I have had a galaxy s3 with cracked glass and tried to replace it. I have seen many videos on youtube how to replace it. Basically people on these videos heat the screen and then remove the front glass easily, because the digitizer is glued to the lcd. But when I tried to remove it it came off quite easily, but only then I noticed that the digitizer was glued not to the lcd but to the front glass, so when i tried to remove front glass I accidentally broke the digitiser connector and somehow damaged the lcd. You can see photos here:

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Samsung-galaxy-S-III-/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDE=/z/QREAAMXQ74JTUq67/$_58.JPG (in this photo you can see that the digitizer was glued to the front glass very strongly)
I would like to ask, do you know why the digitizer could have been glued to the front glass but not to the lcd? And why the lcd could have been damaged while removing front glass??
I would really wanna know the answer myself, as I ordered one that should have reached yesterday, but as they do not work on weekends, it will be here tommorow, and I don't wanna brake my display forever, especially because mine is not that damaged.
Any ideas?
my advice don't bother with a glass replacement. I HAVE TRIED TWICE and as the op said the digitizer is glued to the front glass. this has been the case with both the original screen and two replacement lcd/digitizer/glass assemblies that i personally took apart. each time the glass was fused to the digitizer . i used a heat gun and a laser thermometer and still i failed. I was successful replacing the whole screen assembly twice . but those cost about $130 from amazon,com. These replacements may seem at first like oem but the ones i got cracked very easily. they dont use the gorilla glass and the quality is not as good. one replacement was really bad in sunlight. could not see anything. after my screen cracked a third time i got a galaxy s 5 . and started using a case and screen protector.
Hi guys.
I have this phone since 2 weeks and today I realize that I have a tiny scratch long about a nail over in the bottom-right of the screen.
Is that possible? I can feel with my nail that is a scratch, really really thin and with screen on its invisible but under a light it's visible.
I really disappointed because I'm taking care of it like a baby. Gorilla glass 4 isn't so strong at least, and now do I need a screen protector? Really?
Anyone have problem like this?
Gggrrrrrrr
Hi,
Gorilla Glass 4 does not mean the display can't get any scratches. And yes, if you're unlucky you get a scratch the first day of use. All it needs is a little sand and/or stone in your pocked (just an example) and it can happen. I don't care what the manufacturer of the phone promises or uses as display glass. I have always a good display protection foil or tampered glass on my phones.
Nothing new. I have some micro scratches too. The best thing which you can do is buying a glass protector.

i had exactly the same issues.
at right up corner i get multiple scratch. rest of the phone is ok. i guess GG4 on LGv10 had some issue. what i did was trying to remove coating cover and re-apply a new one called crystalusion. it didnt repair 100% but situation get improved. to remove the Oleophobic coating you need something like car scratch remover.
see ya
