OMG.. just replace it with a thinner model... screen becomes moisture sensitive afterwards.
Is it really another screen protector? Because I'm scared to go really hard to take it out I used a razor blade I.managed taking a small part out really tiny tho.

Yes it definitely is another screen protector.
Yes the screen is far more responsive with a thinner screen protector on it.
also don't use a razor blade, I used a safety pin to vertically stab the edge until it lifts a bit. Then use your hands to pull it off as it is stuck on hard so needs a bit of strength to pull off rather than a normal screen protector

I have a question about screen protectors if you don't mind I ask here.
Is there anywhere I can purchase one of those privacy screen protectors where people can't see the screen on the side for this phone?

rip that puppy off. mine has been off for months and months. its super tough glass that is ridiculously strong - i have not scratched it AT ALL and it has no stains or marks.
one guy even took to his with a knife to test it (search for an older thread on this). dont worry about anyone saying that its gunna scratch or get water in it - its glass after all so they have clearly not tried it.
hands down BEST mod you can do to your x10, and its FREE!

I have tested this..
The touch response is effected by moisture.
Pull it off and replace with a nice thin one.
It's crystal glass.. quite impervious to damage.. but it can still crack and break.
Holy ! I've been wondering the exact same thing for a while ! Its so hard to take off -.-

I first used a knife didnt help tried a razor blade i only managed to cut like 4mm of it then i uses an needle and pushed under it and it pulled off i had to pull very hard to take that **** out damn wasnt an easy job i can say!

Hey all.
I recently got my x 10 and after reading these forums assumed the screen came with a protector on it. I checked it when I got it and it looks like it has one. But after trying to remove it am starting to think its just the outline of the reflective/shiny surface. If anyone can confirm that it is a protector that would be great.
Anyways I seem to some how of gotten a light scratch on my screen. Its very light but enough to get the rainbow effect and be annoying. Does anyone know of a scratch removal solution that is safe to use on the x 10 screen.
Look forward to hearing back.
Regards,
Dylan

I can confirm that there's a screen-protector on the X10 from the fabric, removed it myself, just be a bit rough with it
Have done some research and it seems novus plastic polish is the way to go. Has anyone used this before and know of it will be ok for use on the x10 shiny screen??

Thought i should just add.. the pree applied protector is quite hard to peel of.. once you get it going it it's soon done but it's hard to make that first corner let go and you have to pull it quite hard to rip it of. but it should not leave any uggly marks or rests. did not leave any for me atleast (i removed mine couse i messed up and made a huge mark in it)
Hey. Thanks for the replies. Just a little worried about trying to get it off if its not really the screen protector lol.

Did you ever give it a go? I have a couple of scratches on mine and would love to get them off. Have heard talk of white toothpaste being valuable of phone screens but I'm a little hesitant about that...
I removed the pre applied film and have never scratched the screen.

Can anyone tell me how durable the screen is from scratching? nd I heard that the protection was there to prevent it from screen shattering on a drop is that true?

A thin piece of film will not stop the glass from shattering, its not like the film car windows use. I've been using my x10 with no film and all is fine.

My daughter and I both have x10's. I've dropped my phone several times on ceramic tiles without issues. She on the other hand often drops hers on concrete and keeps it with keys in a tight fit since she doesn't use a purse and just shoves the phone into her jeans. She has pitting and scratches.
It's mineral glass similar to that on a good watch.

I've dropped mine repeatedly, and dont have a single scratch, i do however have a crack at the bottom of the screen, but that took my 78 kg on top of the phone and a metal button to do, plus falling :/
How to remove a screen protector
Well the easiest way to do it would be to use a piece of scotch-tape.
If you apply the scotch-tape to one of your protectors corners, it should be fairly easy to peel it off...
Felt pretty stupid when i found out that I have 2 protector s on. The stock and the spare one supplied but I've let them on as my 4 year old plays on it often.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
im very tempted to remove it but dont think i will. i have horrible luck with touch screen phones lol
i broke my previous iphone screen 3 times.
Wow thanks guys this is amazing. I have had my x10 since may 2010 and I only just found out it has a screen protector. I have taken it off and now all the annoying surface scratches has gone.
Thanks!!!!!!
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
No way... When I got the phone there was an obvious cover stick on the phone which I assumed was the screen protector and thought how bad it was and removed it straight away. I just realised that that wasn't it and I still have one on there. Man that's a fantastic protector, I didn't even know it was there..! Brilliant!
My screen get so much dirty! I mean i can see fingerprints and i dont know how to take them off and also like i can feel that there is something on the screen that makes it look dirty when there is a little bit of light any products i can use?

Thanks to all and pierre thanks for the laugh hehe.
Also i might buy an screen lcd plastic thingy i think its called screen protector or whatsoever do you think it will help me out? Because now my issue is i gotta clean the screen each time i use the phone ;(
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure what it is, or if it's like a protectant layer that's wearing off.
But it's only in the lower half of the screen towards the middle.
It covers almost the whole bottom half, it looks like something splattered on it. But I can get it off with anything, I tried water, eyeglass cleaner, and Window cleaner.
It's really annoying I can feel the difference when I try to slide my finger across.
It's all fine when I clean it, it looks perfectly fine. But when I slide my thumb across is shows up.

Edit..sorry
Didn't mean to hit reply..lol
did you happen to be in the bathroom with a inappropriate picture on the screen?
if so thats where the sticky substance came from... lol
I figured there would be one person...
But no, it's like there's a protective coating onto of the screen and it's like wearing in on area.
It just won't clean off.

It should lift it as the alcohol evaporates... and I would only recommend alcohol so if any gets in the device it won't hurt it

It is actually the oil repellent(or something like that) coating, unfortunately, it is irreversible unless you get it painted again I guess, or replace the screen. your best bet is put on a screen protector.
This happened to BOTH of my previous android phones, Acer Liquid (happened really quickly because the screen is not very sensitive), Atrix (device too fast, so I browse the web on it too much so it has worn off too)
Moved on to HTC Amaze, I guess it is just the same, I better put a screen protector on first...
One question though, did you ever use screen protector? Both of my previous devices did, I wonder if they take a thin layer off when you peel them off....
Well I bought my phone used so I'm not sure.
The alcohol didn't work, so I'm pretty sure it's the coating...
Time to get a screen protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well I can't really tell...
It almost acts like it's coming off, I can't really feel it anymore and I can only see it when I purposefully get my screen dirty. But it looks like something was smeared on it and half of it came off and it's in a hole bunch of little dots and globs.
Is this what yours looked like morris?

not sure but you might try DRM'ing the phone through tmobile just not sure what their policy is on doing it to a phone you got from someone else . . would think you still could though

Dont worry man.
Its gorilla glass... wont break so easily.
I already dropped mine a hundred times. It hasnt got even a scratch.
Still, if you want to protect it that much, use a screen protector and put a case around your phone that covers your phone a little from front. This way, even if your phone falls, your screen will not have direct contact with ground and it wont break.
Bump lol.

yeah! You need soapy water solution to apply! Also, it can go without the solution, but once it sticks to the phone..... it will be hard for you to align it!
