Is there any way of polishing the digitizer screen that will remove marks from constant wear, ie: somebody had this xda and used it for games without using a screen protecter. Has anybody managed to polish marks out?
There is an "old trick" that might work. Use a "little"bit of baby oil and a jewellry polish cloth and you may be able to remove some superficial scratches.
I have used super glue for the deeper ones, but would not recommend that method. ( If you use it keep some acetone based nail polish remover close by!)
Best thing to do is to get a screen protector.
I know the screen is already damaged, but its amazing what a screen protector can do even once its damaged! 8)
I bought an XDA recently with a scratched screen and was told that a protector would sort it out. Wasn't sure at first but it does.
I have "brando" screen protector if that helps, supposed to be better than all the cheaper ones. :wink:
thanks
use displex then get a screen protector on that thing lol
dose anyone know how to remove the hard film from the sony x10 comes already with the phone ...
You mean the stock screen protector?
Yeah, it's a pain as it's so thick that it's hard to remove. I just used my nail to try to lift a corner (took a while). Once I was able to raise enough to get a grip on it, I was able to grab the lifted corner and pull it right off.
Now I have a beautiful Clear-Coat protector instead.

thanks, I ordered the screen plate only. If my housing ever gets too scrathed up or dented, I will simply get a new housing from dealextreme under 30 dollars.

I know SE shipped a spare screen protector in with the X10s in some regions. That was in addition to the stock screen protector they had factory installed. So if that was the case for you and you applied the spare, then yeah you would've had 2 installed.
Haven't heard of them applying 2 at the factory, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few slipped through like that.

Yeah, I figured the same thing and thus also went only with the screen film. Application is easy, and the film is ultra-thin.

I hadn't noticed it already came with one until reading a post on xda, so made me chuckle as I'd stuck on another one too.
Kinda late but I'll give in my 2 cents on how to remove the factory installed cover.
All we are trying to do is to remove the cover so we'd want something rigid but not hard/sharp enough to scratch up or break the screen. The best solution that I was able to come up with is to use a plastic knife (I'm sure you can find one in a plastic children's cutlery set). I used a Zespri Kiwifruit Spife
Next, using the plastic knife, attempt to scrape up one of the corners. This took me about 5 tries for me (about 4 seconds). When that's done, use the knife to prise/scrape up as much of the protector as you need to grasp it and pull it off.
The razor is the best tool for lifting the cover up
Why bother removing the stock screen protector if you don't mind me asking? Especially if it's in good condition.
Does the performance of the touch screen improve? Is it still better than stock if you remove the factory protector and add that clear coat one?
I took the protector off because it was all scratched up. Didn't put another one on. The screen is very very tough. No scratches at all so far

lol, i think noone's trying to answer the OP's question. I got my stock screen protector removed with my nails and a flat plastic like a guitar pick or something. It takes a lot of patience and time...it took me about half an hour just to get a corner up, but once you get the corner it shouldn't be that hard to pull it out. Hope it helps
awesome my screen got scratched the other week and read this post and removed film lol
Rooted X10 FTW now what wheres our custom 2.2
Took mine off today to install an anti fingerprint one. What a pita it was to take off. Ended up using a knife to start peeling it off from the top corner.

thanks for the advice it works.... maybe if there was a different way to do it would be great....
Well I did it yesterday. Just used a Stanley blade really really carefully on bottom right corner. then it was easy as pie. I scratched my screen with the combination of sand and a hardcase, it made awful marks on it. So gettin rid of the old fabric screen protector was needed.

lols... I also did not notice that there was a stock screen protector... I just peeled off 2 layers of protectors... now I hope that between now and the time after work that it takes to get a replacement I dont scratch the screen... fingers crossed
So if I am not getting it wrong then my X10i came pre-applied with a screen protector and an extra screen protector?

My friend somehow scratched the screen with his nail,and now there are fine scratches on my screen...one of which is causing a rainbow effect when the screen turned white. Any help on removing,or at least reducing the scratches?thanks for any help
Believe it or not, but the X10 comes with a clear non-scratch resistant screen protector. Look closely along the edges around the screen, and use a razor blade to separate it from the screen. You can buy replacement screen protectors on ebay for $1 each. However, they are difficult to apply. I quit using one altogether, and I have found the bare screen to be very scratch resistant.

But I can see a rainbow where there is a scratch
doesn't that mean the main screen got damaged?
I was fooled by the factory screen protector myself. Remove it and see.
I experienced this as well. The factory installed screen protector is very hard to spot and remove, but nothing impossible.
Try Screen protector..
And as long as i know x10 is scratch proof.

Wow strong nails. Is he related to wolverine? Anways try removing the screen protector. All stock x10 has one.

All x10 have stock screen protector. Just remove it when it'sreally annoying to see the scratches! Because when you put new on on it, you will see bubbles and stuff.
Oh i see!.. there's a second micro layer on the glass!.
I've removed my screen protector and my screen is scrached now :-( after about 2 weeks using my x10 without the protector

Buy a Rewashable Screen protector for 1.59$ ( or 2 for 2.99$ ) from ebay. The screen doesn't even react to water now
I put a screen protector on mine without any bubbles. I used water to get it to slide in place and squeegeed the water out.
Also had the battery out and put it in a bag of rice afterwards just in case water got inside. That was 8 months ago and still working well. The only negative is it decreased the sensitivity of the touch screen slightly, but I got used to it.
Here is a guide if you want to apply a screen protector

Use a razor blade to pick up the corner. I broke a nail trying to get the factory screen protector off with my fingers. Lol. Whoever they have applying the factory one really does a great job.
Well whaddaya know, there is a layer. Sneaky little SE salesmen made me pay 25 bucks for another, redundant screen protector. -_-
Thanks for the info!

I bought a tempered screen protector and installed it last night. I noticed that the upper right corner is not sticking. I figured it would set by morning but it still doesnt stick. When I push down, it sticks and darkens but as soon as I remove my finger it is lifted again.
Is this a common issue with tempered screen protectors? I've always used the regular plastic SGP ones, and never had this issue.
Is there a way to make it more adhesive so it sticks or should I just ask for an exchange or refund?
It could happen with a case, but if you're not using a case, then that shouldn't happen. Contact the seller.
Be sure you have the glass perfectly in correct place, I had the same problem and I repositioned the glass and is fine now

Dirt and Cheap glass protector tends to do that

Please name of adhesive used in glass for sticking
If the glass is not sticking in the corners, it could be that the protector was slightly bent during the shipping/packaging process, the screen is not perfectly flat, there was dirt/residue on the phone's screen, and/or the adhesive was not evenly applied to the protector at the factory.
The adhesive, as explained to me, is a very lightly silicone-type adhesive.
It seems like everyone is moving to the glass type screen protectors.
I have not use these before, are they much harder to apply (dust free) than the old PET type? In the PET type, I could peel it off and use a small piece of tape to remove remnant dust.
I'm just afraid that I won't do a good job applying the glass.
They are better, and much easier to apply atleast for me. I ordered nillkin 9h, very good stuff, recomended, front one is glass, back is the usual plastic like. Applied front in like 5seconds pretty much perfectly, and back was pain in the ass, had to remove few times and put it back again because of bubbles. In short, they are good and easy to apply

I just installed my first tempered glass screen protector ever on my Z2. I have to say that it is a lot easier applying than the regular PET ones. I bought one from Mobile Pioneer for 10$ on Amazon and it's fantastic. During the installation there was some lint trapped in between the screen protector and the actual glass, I was able to remove it, and used the adhesive dust remover to remove the lint and reapply the screen protector just fine. It's really easy to install as well, I just set the screen protector on the phone and was able to adjust it's position by moving around. Then you just press firmly onto the middle and make your way to the edges to apply it down. Also the feel of it is just fantastic, PET screen protectors can not compare at all. Go with tempered glass, you won't regret it .
Also one thing, if you have the magnetic dock, it's gonna be a tight fit. I had to switch out the cradle thingy with the secondary one included with the retail dock.
thanks, tempered glass it is then!
Does the tempered glass add that much sickness to the phone?
I bought one but I hesitate to use it as I'm quite satisfied with my already installed PET screen protector.
