So screen is loose in all four corners (it popped out of the metal), my friend has the same problem and it looks like a design fault, the metal body is slightly arced and the plastic touch screen pops out after a while, when i press it in again it holds for a few minutes and then it us loiqe again. Now normally i would not care, but dust is gathering between the LCD and and the touch panel. Is this a common problem and how can i clean out the dust and re-glue the touch panel to prevent tgis in the future ???

hi,
from wear and tear my xda has developed a 'worn patch' on the screen. it is located bottom center on the screen and makes using 'letter recogniser' hard.
The touch screen is still functioning perfectly despite the 'gritty' texture. It is defo not a substance 'on' the screen rather it appears that maybe a protective layer stuck to the screen may be destroyed.
I will need to open this xda, my question is, has anyone managed to peel off this layer? if so maybe i could then replace it with a similiar protective layer or just do without it?
tnx
Adrian
buy a new touch screen, but not the LCD
Hi, Im all new to the forum but ive had my xda for about a year, I got it on ebay for £160 but after a year of use I've noticed the screen has become dusty. So I was wondering is it safe and easy to take it apart I think I can get the screw driver needed as I work at a computer shop.
If there is dust between the layers of the screen then NO... It's a sealed LCD unit.
I think is in between the plastic protector.
You mean the Screen Protector you installed? The XDA II doesn't come with a screen protector.
I have the XDA 1
oh... sorry
the xda1 dont have a plastic protector
but many people confuse the touchpanel on top of the lcd
with a protector both on xda1 and 2
a plastic protector you'll have to install yourself
That's what I thouht he meant firstl; but wasn't sure whether the XDA 1 was different...
There is a repair shop that you can send your LCD to and they will clean it and ship it back; otherwise, no you cannot clean it yourself.
Oh well I wont bother seeing as I will be getting the XDA 2 soon.
Hi,
The LCD comes in 2 parts. The touch screen part and the LCD part. The touch screen can be seperated (not entirely however due to ribbon cable) from the LCD as it is only clipped on. Using a very fine blade you can release the clips (2 either side of the longest side of the LCD). I would only blow out the dust with an ionizing blower as static will hold some of the dust there.
I'm starting to get slightly irritated by the way the screen protector on the Xperia collects dust, as well as the fine line of dirt that seems to collect round the edges - so I'm considering taking it off.
I have never previously bothered with screen protectors and have never had any issues. I always keep my phone on its own in a pocket or on the desk next to me, so there's really no risk of scratching.
I also just saw the video that demonstrates the screen itself is more scratch resistant than the screen protector itself.
So... has anyone else removed theirs, and is it worth doing? Are there any downsides?
Cheers guys!

Thanks I did try searching but couldn't find the thread.
I've done it - looks and feels nicer without. Going to have to be very careful though!
Took mine off, no regrets.
Took mine off too - much prefer it. Only downside is that the screen always looks greasy when off but absolutely fine when on.
I don't know how much time it will take for me to peel off the screen protector. It's getting dirty all the time and when i'm on a webpage with a white background the display look like is covered with dirt. How is the screen without the screen protector? It's getting dirty very fast? Is more responsive?
The screens extremely responsive with the protector on imo.

I prefer it off, glass feels much smoother than plastic, the screen protector is quite thick also.
I'm leaving it on, I've as good as always used a screen protector and in the end it pays off. Really like the fact it comes preinstalled, because it's not that easy to apply a screenprotector with all the dust that can get under there and the usual bubbles.
As far as being sticky I'm not experiencing that, it feels almost as smooth as glass.
The dirt that collects at the edges is not fun but I know my screen is safe
Question for who has removed the screen protector:
do the yellow spots in the corners disappear without the protector? (maybe...)

Dear pascalbrax,
I think it wont solve it. I had no issues on my screen but, removing the screen protector should not affect it since it has relation only to a specific chemical they used inside the phone... I removed mine though, and I do not regret it...
No the screen protector has no effect on yellow tint issue.

I know that it shouldn't have an affect because the underlying issue is still there. However I scratched the screen protector and so removed it a couple of days ago and I've observed that the phone can get to higher temperatures before exhibiting the yellow splodges. Previously my phone got a yellow blob about 1cm from the bottom of the screen at about 34°C. I've gotten it upto 38°C at the moment and it's only showing a slight lighter patch, which usually shows up at about 28°C.
This suggests that the screen protector insulates the screen rather than allowing it to disperse heat quicker; it's obviously no fix but on my device it has certainly alleviated the problem.

Took me half an hour to remove -.-. Now I'm using the one that came in the box while waiting for capdase to arrive.
Pulled the mine off.
Feels better and also the buttons are more responsive.

so i had my phone face down on a clean school desk
i picked it up carefully and vertically (so the screen doesnt rub against the desk)
ans surprise! there are tiny scratches on the right and left side of the display
is this normal?
The other day, i had my phone face down on my backpack literally 4 inches above concrete. One slow fall later, i flip it over and there's one long horizontal crack across the glass. I think i'm going to get a shop to put a white screen on it now.
The outside bezel of the glass has a small ridge in it that elevates it VERY slightly when it is put face down without a case, so the edge of the front face is very prone to scratches. Mine seems to hold up pretty well. I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've ever had, and the only visible damage I have is a small chip about 1/2 a millimeter on the top left corner. It's small enough that my case covers it up.

the scratches are not visible by any means. but the fact that just by putting it face down scratches the screen is kind of disheartening.
anyways. if it gets any worse, i might just get a replacement screen.
Get the xtreme guard screen protector. Super cheap and lasts a long time

Mine fell out of my jacket pocket about 2' onto tile at a store when I was reaching down to pick something up it slipped out and landed flat on the screen, no damage except for a few minor scratches that are only visable when the light hits it just right. Forgot to mention that I did not have a case or any kind of screen protector on it.
I just installed a screen protector (tempered glass) that i bought on ebay a few weeks ago because the plastic screen protector that came with my OnePlus started coming off so I put the glass one instead. After installing the SP I couldn't remove an air bubble all around the side of the SP(*first picture). On the second picture you can see that the bubble is a bit visible on both sides of the screen(when on), I was trying to show that the whole screen looks "dirty", just as if you just ate chips and touched the screen (i guess you know what that looks like) but my old Nexus 5X is bad af so it couldn't capture it. Do you guys think that this will eventually disappear or the bubble will just stay like that forever and should just get a new and better SP (recommendations btw)?
Looks to me like its struggling to adhere where the screen starts to curve. You will have to replace.
I don't think any of the manufacturers got the screen protector right, even OnePlus themselves had to discontinue their tgsp because it was getting shredded in the reviews. Out of the ones that I tried the best of a bad bunch was Orzly. Just had some dust issues but at least it can flex to the curve of screen.
Easy but efficient tip:
Wet a cotton but with olive oil, not much. Then with the cotton bud, rub it gently against the corners of the Screen protector, it will be filled with oil, give it some seconds and don't press that area, do it for the whole thing and profit. I your screen protector isn't too big it should last for a while before you have to do it again. Hope this is OK English.
