[Q] Does my X10 have a screen protector? plz help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, this is strange questions, but id really like to know:
Does my phone have a screen protector? It kind of looks like it does, but i cant seem to take it off (tried lifting the edge with my fingernail).
I just want to make sure i have a screen protector and im not going to scratch my screen.
Anyone with a X10 that doesnt have a screen protector - or someone who installed one themselves, please have a quick look at my uploaded pic to compare.
I cant post links yet...

Im trying to instal a mirror protector - how do you remove a screen protector? It seems like its really stuck on for good!?!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I removed the screen protector the second day I had my X10. I don't need it coz it's scratch resistant. Three months later it is still scratch-less and the screen is in pristine condition...

thanks, but HOW did you remove the screen protector?

yeah but it sucks haha
no there is 2 pre applied screens. One is the visible ****ty one, then there is a fine almost invisible one under it.
I can't see one on my AT&T X10. Do you know if they come with one applied or is it just the unlocked ones?
Yeah I'm a tool. I just noticed it. Its a damn nice protector as I couldn't see it until I really looked at the bottom of the screen.

So all those tiny little scratches are on the factory installed screen protector? Are we supposed to replace it or just lay another on on the top (when I receive my free stealth shield)?
You would want to replace it when you get your new one. I think many would be pleasantly surprised to learn that the light scratches on their phone probably are just on the screen protector.

Screen Sensitivity after removing stock Screen Protector

Hi all,
I've had my x10a for more than a month now, running 2.1 global and everything seems great. However, there is one thing that kind of bothers me. With the stock screen protector installed, I kind of feel that i can't swipe on the screen smoothly, lots of friction going on and the responsiveness isn't as great. This especially annoys me when I play Fruit Ninja, comparing with my ipod touch first gen. There is a noticeable delay when I swipe across the screen on my x10.
I'm wondering, will the sensitivity increase by a bit? ( im not looking for iphone4 sensitivity here, just wondering if it would increase after I install an alternative protector )
Do you guys suggest that I remove the stock protector and install a third party screen protector?

Thanks for your input but I always keep my cellphone clean. and the whole point of this thread is asking whether using a different screen protector than the stock will help so that does not really answer my question.

do you have the uber thick one on your handset? that is the one I have and its pretty sensitive. I would think a thiner one would be more sensitive
What kind of screen protector comes stock, all I have ever got on any phone was the cheap shipping plastic which is suppose to be removed, although I do see dorks walking around with it...

I took the stock screen protectors off and it's the worst. I've never had a touch screen work so bad. The only reason I haven't installed another is because the phone is defective, and I have to wait on rogers to get the replacement.
IMO if you want to take the stock screen protectors off, put a high quality one on right after. Also, I've been using the phone with no screen protector for about 2 months and I haven't scratched the screen, which is pretty impressive.
Yeah, I've removed the thin plastic that came with it, but it seems there's something more by looking at it's edges. Tried to remove it but wasn't successful in doing so...

awmilton, by worst, do you mean that the stock screen protector is worst?
Or the screen under it is the worst you've seen?
Can anyone tell me how's the screen's performance without protector compared to the screen with protector on it?
X10 actually comes with the worst capacitive screen I've ever seen! Even without the protector the responsiveness is poor and most of the times it's hard to unlock when receiving a call!

The screen under the stock screen protector is the worst. And I'm referring to touch sensitivity, the images displayed by the x10 are quite nice.
So to answer your question, the screen's performance, for me, was worse after removing the stock screen protector. I've heard rumors that there are actually 2 stock screen protectors shipped on the phone. I'm nervous to start picking at the edges again, but if it's anything like the potential "outer" screen protector it's there but hard to see and difficult to take off.
Does anyone know if there are actually two screen protectors applied by sony before shipping?
Wow...I didn't even know it came with a screen protector lol. Well I'm removing it because it collects too much smudge/

there's is already a "screen protector" pre-applied on the x10. it's another kind of screen protector which i forgotten the term for it..and inside the box there is also a cheapo screen protector..so if u had use the cheapo screen protector..u are having 2 screen protector on ur x10.
anyway, the "screen protector" can actually be taken off,required abit of skill though. i had heard others removing it and comment tat it is much much more responsive.
but in my opinion i would not have taken it off,it was supposed to give more protection for our phone..surely SE dont put it there for no reason..
All that bad reaction especially in games has nothing to do with the screen, it's all about performance! 3D games with the x10 are horrible and mostly unplayable, you gonna feel if you try an Samsung galaxy!
Sony set the maximum fps that could be reached to 32.. which is in my eyes not smooth..
So for games you need another phone...
hehe i take on the protector that come in the box...so i have two.
The sheap one is terrible so i have ordered a new one.
But i will leave the one from se on even if i put on the new one.
Mine is from the UK and I didn't see one on my phone or in the box apart from the one on the screen that you are meant to take off.
I find that the screen does not respond well if you have sweaty fingers or even when there a drop of water on it but other than that, it is fine for me.
I got a screen protector from Stealth Guard now and it is very easy to apply. Now it works even with sweaty fingers and rain on it. This protector may not be for everyone though as my mates have trouble using it.

Yes, I don't think UK phones have a screen protector on, unless it's really difficult to see and remove...
Can anyone post any photos of the one that comes with the phone?

Yeah it's almost invisible.
I have removed both protectors that were on the screen. The only negative point is that its more exposed to scratches, nothing that a new thinner protector wont cure the sensitivity is a little better I guess but I think SE's bloatware kinda screws up the phones performance anyhow... Bottom line is that the phones screen is sensitive enough but the software is too slow, although I havent tried the 2.2 custom rom yet to verify this
Edit: Nor have I tried to uninstall the most resource demanding apps like timescape etc.

[Q] Screen issue - help!!

Hello guys,
I am shocked right now, but 1 month ago I put an original samsung branded screen protector on my phone (SGS II). I was surprised how crystal it was and hardly noticeable.
Now I am 99% sure it is just GONE!!! Is it possible.. I haven't given my phone to anyone and I keep it with me 24/7. How can I be 100% sure it's gone? Please help, Thank you!
Huh? I don't get your issue.
Sent from my GT-I9100
The protector is gone! And I don't have any idea how is that possible.... On the other hand it might be still on, but very unlikely because I just can't see any edge! Is there a way to check if it is gone or still there?
Maybe buy another one.......stranger things have happened other than your screen protector going missing lol

It , probably went off without you noticing. If you can't see it it isn't there. Besides edges you should see a lot of scratches compared to a bare screen witch is much more resistant.

Try using a tape and put one side of it to the edge of the screen and try to pull the other end of the tape and see if your screen protector peels off with it if the tape peeled of without anything attached to it then your screen protector is missing

Guys, don't laugh please ... I was so angry that someone could have been playing with my phone.... there are two microscopic scratches on the screen. The thing that made me mad was that I thought it had screen protector the whole time!!! My advice is don't buy expensive screen protectors! You won't feel the difference if it's gone!!! What the hell?

I would disagree my expensive screen protector has already repaid its cost .
Badly scratched but screen not scratched .

I have never used screen protectors. That is because, I don't need one, I take care of my phone(it hasn't fallen...yet xD).
I never wear the phone in the same pocket with coins, keys etc. No scratches on the phone at all.
Can't thank you enough in one day ( only 8 thanks per day ) .... thanks for replying to my every query..
Well screenguards are all a matter of personal preference. I ALWAYS have used and will be using screen guards. Mostly because the active has the strap that has an aluminium "lock"? on it, and it so happens to be going on the screen over and over again, resulting to scratching it. Even though the Active has Dragontrail glass, which is said to be much stronger than Gorrila, i just cant bare to see a single scratch on the screen

Nope, it is not gorilla glass. It is shatterproof mineral glass with (apparently) scratchproof layer. Apparently, not sure how scratchproof it is.
I do not have any scratches on my LWW, but it is because I take care of my phone. I haven't tested, if it really is scratchproof, neither am I going to test it.

How can scratches appear during playing games?
as long as they didn't say that the screen is 'scratch proof' i will always put screen guard
I have dropped my phone twice (accidentally of course) around 3ft high. No scratch so far, also it use to stay on my pocket together with coins and key. So far smooth screen and back cover. But since it easily caught smudge from frequent texting; I installed matted screen protector.

There is no special screenguard for this phone, buy a regular one, which is large enough and cut it to smaller, so it would fit the LWW.
well i have one that is specially for LWW, just search the internet
actually iI went to the store and they told me that it will arrive on saturday. that means there is screen guard that fits to lww
Try it and let me know many scratch ypu can put in it

XP screen protector questions
Hi all,
I have a black XP with a preinstalled screen protector. I also have a case that shields everything except the screen. I also have another screen protector that i did not install yet.
So now my question is, should i install the aftermarket screen protector on top of the existing preinstalled one? And is it possible to remove just the aftermarket one after it is scratched (over time i guess it will be). Will there be any residual glue left on the screen? If yes, what should i use to wipe it off?
Or would you just use it as it is with the preinstalled one, and then if that one get's scratched, replace it with an aftermarket one?
i hope i was clear enough...looking forward to your answers, thanks
Its not a preinstalled screen protector. It's factory applied and if you take it off say goodbye to your phone. Just clean it And apply your protector on top of it,
