So I got my Flyer on Friday, only to see after one transportation in the bag and ~ 1 hour of total usage that I had my first small but noticeable scratches on the display. Even further, I got one a little more visible when writing with the stylus today. Deriving from my experience with HTC devices from the last couple of years, and avoiding playing in a sandbox with it, I thought it was safe to not buy an extra screen protector.
So, how do your Flyers perform? Same experience? Had been asking in another forums where no-one else experienced the same, so I wonder whether this is just a factory fault on mine or if it is that sensitive to scratches in general...
Cheers

None here
I don't really see any on mine! I am kinda worried now however, maybe I should buy an invisibleSHIELD lol... I haven't had a screen protector since my N1 days! I would drop HTC a line, they were really prompt to answer my questions, and I figure getting their opinion is probably a good option!
Hmm, that is strange. I don't have any on mine. I thought these were made with Gorilla Glass?
No issues here, but using matt screen protector now.

None on mine as the first thing I did was put the "invisible" shield on. I don't trust the zero scratches concepts and claims. I always play it safe. You won't believe it, my TP2 is still scratch free for the next happy owner.
Always protect you expensive investment.
You guys are too clever, hehe. Contacted HTC support und will see what they will tell me about my issues...
Already got a deep scratch on it and a ton of micro scratches. Not too happy about that. I could live with the micro scratches. But the big one is really going to bother me.
First one to experience the same... oh well, not a single-case problem it seems. Scratches are really an issue, considering you're not going to use it in lab conditions (weren't they meant for mobility?).
I didn't want to.take a chance, so I'm only using it with a screen protector
I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Platinum Easel Folio case (purchased at Best Buy) - tight fit but works perfectly and looks good.
Yep it is a scratch magnet. I really cannot believe that this is GG on this tablet as my sammy tabs screen is much more resilient. Scratches on mine and I have no idea how they got there. Waiting on a protector from ebay and treating it very carefully until then.

How does the pen fare with the screen protector? Everything still good?
invisibleSHIELD
I installed a Zagg iShield on mine today, the pen kind of drags, which had me worried. But y'all that reported scratches, question are you using European models or the US model per chance? I just wonder if that has anything to do with it?
European model. Am thinking of sending it back & ordering a new one elsewhere. No report back from HTC on the matter.
Mh - I guess the best option would be to use a cheap and simple screen protector for now to protect the screen from scratches.
There should be some better ones out once the Flyer is on the market for some time. I bet those will be better suited for the use of the pen.
Regarding the pen a thinner protection "shield" might be better.
Apart from that I think if you don't intend to sell the device at some point I don't really care about scratches after all. My old Samsung has millions of them but actually you can't see it when the screen is on and I won't using it with the screen off. For me that's a typical "So what?" question.
However, I'll get a screen protector too
haha

I've had the same issues in former WM phones which required a stylus. The invisibleshield films are slightly spongy and increase drag on the stylus. Over a while, I noticed some "orange peel" effect on the film also... but that maybe my poor application.
The boxwave clear or anti-glare films are what I'm hoping to find... I may order the matte screen protector from UK Amazon.

I would really love to do so as well, but the Amazon shop seems to be the only one having them, but unfortunately is not shipping to Germany. Does anyone know an alternate shop that ships them elsewhere?
No scratches here, been using it since it came out, also been using the pen on here no scratches or minor ones either. Got mine from best buy.
Screen protector
So I am learning to live with the iShield everything seems ok, the pen still works fine, however the drag is annoying only sometimes, bearable! Oh so my friend's Flyer is still a-ok screen protectorless, and our demo model at work has nothing on it, however that is only people tapping it with fingers. And it seems to me that the European models are the only ones people are seeing scratches on (in this thread at least) and the Best Buy US models aren't exhibiting the problem. Maybe there was a bad batch of glass in those models? This is all speculation of course!
hi guys,
getting my new evo3d on wednesday. Just upgraded from my beloved hd2 which i had for 2 years. She was a beaut. This forum its members and developers were a pure godsend.
However, after seeing this phone on offer for £229 it felt wrong not to buy it. So hopefully you guys will help me get the most out of this new phone as i did out of my old.
cheers.
Indeed, mine should be arriving Thursday from Asda. The wife is getting my Desire.
Step one for me is to go into the clean room at work and apply my screen protector lol
Step two I guess is to charge and get sense setup how I like it
Welcome fellas
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered 3D
howdy mr paul. it was too good a deal to turn down, eh?
regarding the protector i always had murders applying my old ones. I found the best way was in a steamy bathroom clean the screen as best as possible with the cloth and then blow on the screen to remove any residual dirt/dust fragments whilst laying the protector on.
You are right about sense. the amount of times i had to redo it with all the wonderful roms on my old phone.
edit - thanks jay.
Welcome aboard indeed. Coming from those phones you should find everything fairly easy here. Solid guides in the dev roll up sticky to get started.

you should look up a company called ghost armor
polyurethane screen protector, so thin you don't even know it's there.
if you know anything about polyurethane, it's tensile strength, and other applications it is used for... you will see why it is by far the best form of screen protector out there.
thanks sarge.
@cobraboy85 that ghost armour is that the same stuff as the zagg invisible shield? I tried that on my hd2 but i could not fit it properly. If it is more a case and a screen protector then it sounds great.

I've use 2 brands all the time and have no complaints.
First is the more durable skinomi one I used on my EVO4G. http://www.skinomi.com/
That thing could take a serious beating and you can't beat the warranty.
The next is what I have on my phone right now and thats the SGP Steinheil screen protector.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc.html
The later was easier to install and a little thinner btw.
I used to use screen protectors religiously for a couple of years but never used one on my Evo 4G nor my 3D. Have never had a scratch on the screen. The screen protectors always seemed to take away from the feel of the phone for me. Just my 2cents, try it without one.
I use the matte ones that a finger-print resistant. However; I just recently removed it because I ordered 4 new ones, and I'm liking the way my screen looks without it. Much nicer.
I always use Martin Fields screen protectors, always found them to be fantastic.
Yes the Asda deal is bloody great!
Im also coming over from a HD2 because of the ASDA deal.
I love the HD2 and how that has evolved over the last 18 months, just hope the EVO 3D will be just as great an investment.
Hopefully with the price drop of the EVO 3D GSM and the flood of new owners, development will really start to boom, who knows may even surpass the CDMA forum
Looks like there are some great devs producing some fantastic ROMS already. In addition, we have ICS potentially on the horizon!!
Happy Days ahead one hopes
Yea EVO 3D us cool phone, I love it, had it for 4 months...
I bought 2 screen protectors for 40$.
I took them off week later.
EVOs screen is not easy to scratch so I don't see reason to put protection on it.
I'm thinkin to get otterbox case, it looks cool

no it is not a case, it is a thin film that is applied to your screen. look into it, promise you... best screen protector out there.

You spent $40 on 2 screen protectors? I got 4 glare-resistant, fingerprint-resist, matte screen protectors for $4 with free shipping on eBay. Get your money back, or call the police, because you were robbed.
I didn't see a thread about this in the accessories section here, so I figured it would be a good one since many people will be getting one, despite the Gorilla Glass supposedly being a good protector as-is.
In my experience, good screen protectors will accomplish one of two things, but never both:
1) Invisibility - you don't even notice it is there, and does not mar your screen quality whatsoever (a big perk when your new phone's biggest feature may be the screen)
2) Glare-resistant - you sacrifice some of your screen's brightness and jump-off-the-phone clarity and colors, yet you do get much less glare, improved visibility outside in the sun, and it tends to have a smoother feel when swiping across the screen.
The purpose in this thread was to allow people to share recommendations for screen protectors on both fronts. I, personally, want one that won't hinder my phone's screen quality (although my OG EVO has a glare-resistant one on it right now). Any recommendations on brand, type, deals, etc?
Also, I've noticed that many of them won't be available until June or so, which is frustrating since I want to have a protector on mine as I walk out of the store next Friday. Ideas? Do I just buy the cheapest thing possible until a great one is available? Risk going without one for a couple weeks?
Share your thoughts and plans here! One week to go!
XO Skins is already shipping them. They posted a few videos today reviewing the phone on their youtube channel. You can get one here.
http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-protectors/htc-skin-protectors/htc-evo-lte-4g-full-body-protector
I have been using them for a while on my Nexus. I am considering switching to the evo lte or the galaxy III. I am waiting for that to compare, but the review in my signature has a tun of comments feedback etc. It's the best one on the market imo. I would get the full body on these since the back of the evo lte looks pretty weak. These don't have orange peel like others and have a lifetime warranty. The best coupon floating around is sprintxo

i have had the same skinomi one on my epic for 2 years now..they are pretty thick and protect well as well have having a lifetime replacement (just pay shipping). however i may not spend the $7 to get one this time around because while it protects really well, you can definitely tell it's there. the glare isn't bad on it either. being 2 years old i am unsure if they changed the formula for making them though.
I always buy phantom skinz. They are great. You can't tell visibly that they are there. Not anti glare and they're not real rubbery feeling like Zagg and you get 2 for 1.
Usually have a coupon code for 15-30% off. Which usually makes them 2 for $7-9. Can't beat that.
*Edit: Coupon code is ComeBack30 for 30% off making the screen protector 6.96 for 2
On my original evoi had one of Sprints matte screen protectors which weren't too bad, but prefer a screen protector that does not sacrifice screen quality, I had used ZAGG on my HTC touch pro and is currently on my Prime.The feel of the screen is a bit rubbery at first, but once it breaks in it feels very comfortable and smooth. It does not sacrifice any quality and they offer protection for the back of the phone as well. Unfortunately, ZAGG did not have anything listed yet for the Evo LTE , I did email them and got this response:

I second this. Steinheil is the GOAT. Crystal Clear, doesn't diminish the screen, very durable.
They will be making them soon enough. I need to find something temp for the time being. Because I am a danger around things which aren't protected.
Can't stand the ones with liquid though. They always freak me out.

Eh, they 'll still make them. A lot of assessory places say they have no plans but they are waiting to see the demands.
I'd be more concerned if a case maker said that, since it takes more resources. Screen protectors is a matter of cutting the right size.

I know they will still make them but might not as soon as we'd like...
Case makers say the same thing btw, its a straight company line unless they are already into production with the item b/c only then will they be able to 100% confirm they are going to have one.
I know the overall outside dimensions b/w the EVOLTE are different than the OneX slightly but what about the screen?.....should OneX screen protectors not work on the EVOLTE? or is the dimension of the actual screen different too slightly...The MAIN difference is the OneX case on the inside on the screen has round edges where as the EVOLTE is squared off in the corners...
might be worth something trying there for those that want to...
I'm waiting for the Steinheil protectors as well. They're the best. Period.

Gorilla glass won't stop dust or dirt from scratching it. This has been beaten to death in some other topics but the gist is that the key scratch tests etc don't scratch it because brass is softer than gorilla glass. Dirt and some dust is much harder so it will scratch. It's stronger than most glass, but not scratch proof. That's why people still use protectors, let them take the beating, if they get damaged, peel it off and slap another on there.
I got an extra screen protector left over from clarivue for the original evo. Will have to see how well it fits the evo lte, even if it doesn't cover up the screen entirely.

Hey guys I finally got my email to pick up my preorder at bestbuy today.
Everything there went smooth. I had the $50 giftcard put towards the purchase so it came to $161 something. I was able to sell my evo to a friend for $125. So i ended up buying the new evo for about $40 after tax, not too bad.
The 3G service is still horrible here in Rochester Ny. Im starting to miss the 4g on the OG evo. Im hoping they roll out LTE quickly.
Now on to the phone. Some things I notice on the new Evo compared to the OG:
-The ringtone volume is alot quieter than the OG
- Pandora seems to take about 20 seconds or so to buffer the next song if i skip it manually. Anyone else notice this? My sisters iphone4 does it in under 5 both on sprint.
- The screen is amazing. I dont have the warm or cool colors like I have seen some people mention.
-Battery life so far is acceptable. I can tell it will be much better then the OG
-The camera is light years ahead of the OG and in the dark the flash isnt too bright like on the OG where it had the dual LED
I think I am going to enjoy this phone once sprint updates its 3g and rolls out the LTE.
I also bought a zagg screen protector and it protects the screen very well but has a weird texture to it. is this how the zagg are supposed to be?
Thanks everyone. Im looking forward to rooting it soon and putting ROMs on it like I had the OG
Give the screen cover a couple days and it will be as smooth as glass.

These things are always up for debate. While I would love to go without one, I build cranes for a living and I constantly have to drill..my pockets are always full of metal shavings..that will most definitely scratch it.

Just today I noticed a very faint scratch on the bottom right corner of my screen. It was only noticeable when light hit it just right. Nonetheless, I was disappointed, as I have been very careful with the device since I got it through the Sprint preorder. I keep it in my pocket with nothing else, and I do not think I have any abrasive dirt or particles in there... But something got at it.
Again, it is very faint and you can't see it in most lighting conditions. Makes me wish I had put a screen protector on it from day one.
Fun!

I havent had an issue with the proxemity sensor. It actually works perfect for me.
I did have my network drop on me once today with was kind of annoying but it came back shortly after.
I saw the zagg HD but i figured it was just a marketing scam to make you spend more money.
My biggest annoyance so far is where they positioned the volume rocker. When I go to wake my phone or put it to sleep I am always hitting the volume up or down. If i hit the volume up and the power switch the phone wont go to sleep. and when I listen to pandora or my music im always turning the volume down instead of turning off the screen. Its already hard enough to hit the power switch on this phone with the case I have.
OP , im also in Rochester , unfortuantley , lol. Where did you get yours? Went to the best buy in Greece and they were gone . Going to try again tomorrow, possibly.
Good ol' Rochester lol.

I'm in Buffalo and I was always envious of the fact Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and NYC had WiMax and I didn't. Now I'm not so much because in the 2 yrs of my OG EVO and 3D I've never actually been able to use it so I won't miss it. I hear the reason Buffalo never got it was something with the TV signals in Canada, just hope we get LTE eventually.

My data is horrible. I've posted speed test results in a couple threads, I think I have a radio issue with my phone.
As for the Zagg HD, it's 1000x better than the original. there's a slight orange peel still if you hold it on an angle to the light and you're looking for it but it feels great (not sticky and rubbery like the original). One thing I've noticed is that over time it gets smoother and feels better. As you wipe the phone it tends to smooth the protector out on the screen. My biggest problem with them was that they turned yellow over time. I vowed to never buy another Zagg shield but this one I've been quite happy with so far. I am having issues with the p-sensor though in low light. Might be a sensitivity issue that might get sorted out in software, could be a HW issue though. I still might return this though because of the ridiculously poor data speeds, especially considering all I've seen reported by anyone has be at least slightly increased data speeds.

I'm actually having an issue with the signal. Here at work the signal is much worse than my og EVO. I am roaming where I used to have 2-3 bars of sprint before. I tried updating everything but its still the same
Picked mine up at the BB in Victor on Sat.3g in Canandaigua isn't too bad and the WiFi radio is much better than my OG EVO.

So I have a shattered screen on my HTC Evo LTE. (finally after about 6 drops on concrete)
I am more then happy to try and replace it myself. While looking the internet over it looks as if the HTC One X's screen is similar if not identical to the LTEvo. Is this true? When I look on Amazon for the screen I find that most of the screens fit say HTC One X/HTC Evo 4G LTE.
I just wanted to make sure first before I make a purchase! Thank all.
If anyone has pointers, please feel free to chime in!!!
PS the screen and phone still works, it is just the outer glass that broke, so I am not in a hurry and am doing my research.
They are very tough to find at the moment from most suppliers. I know there are some on ebay here and there. I know someone with a few, but more so a private vendor.
I would not get a one x screen, you never know if any of the flex cables are different and be a useless purchase.
Thanks! I will keep on researching.

Oh man, not a fun shatter. The first week the SIII came out, we had 4 people bring them in to get fixed, the screen alone is around 250 at least if you can find it.
Screen protectors are slightly different between the 2 and u can notice the difference. The LTEVO is more square so u need one made for the evo 4G ltenot the one x
There are some people on xd a that'll sell them. Got mine for $60. Just learn how to install it before you break your phone.

I recently had the same experience. I ordered an allegedly OEM digitizer+LCD assembly from etradesupply (around $110) and had it installed by a local shop. Unfortunately, it's not perfect. Dust has gotten under the screen, the digitizer seems less sensitive, it attracts more fingerprints/smudges, and I've just noticed a stuck pixel. I wish I would've paid extra and gone with an official HTC repair.
I bought a replacement non OEM LCD from amazon for 55$ its better than original. I installed it my self and reused the digitizer. I am very happy with results, plus I don't think I could have done it for less $.

my randomly cracked along the bottom, one streak in the diagonal corner and one branching off along the bottom of the phone... it wasn't dropped or anything which is strange.
