Hey
So I have a question what is the quality of the glass on top?? =/
Today I was walking and i moved aside for someone else to pass through my leg just tapped and i mean TAP!! a normal gentle tap! a table on the side after a while i take out the phone and i see the glass on top is shattered.
I am seriously confused what was the quality of the glass? the phone functions normal everything is fine just the shatter at the top and the ripples .
So apart from the quality can it be replaced since i have no option!! have to give to the service center to fix the yellow tint too hope they take it with the broken glass and all....
so will they?
I wonder if they will fix the yellow tint issue under warranty I don't want the reply "oh you damaged screen so you get yellow tint we no fix without charge" (Believe me the reps sound like this )
But seriously isn't this a quality issue of some sort I mean is the glass supposed to shatter this easily =/
Oh yeah this is my first android phone ever.
SE so had good quality so went for it but then again those were feature phones such as w800i etc
damn... no words
mine got insurance already to avoid such surprises.
call them and ask what can be done, explain the situation maybe they will help you
i wish you all the luck mate
did you remove the screen protector that came with the phone (already put on).
I think that protector prevents cracking....

yeah that is on thats the point i am confused cause of that and lol i think the glass is in place just cause of that screen protector or else it would have come off and you know so yeah be warned fellow member the Sheet does not protect against cracking only holds it in place after it shatters
Sorry for that.....
Next time keep the glass side facing to your leg.

Yeah that's what I have learnt the hard way
On another note could just go on to invent a time machine...(Sorry I get a bit carried away I know )
Quality is offer by Ericsson !
not SONY ! :-D
Sony need get money :-D
And that's why this phone have cheap piece in.
like the screen,or plastic,or battery or. .....
but
I if I'm right the screen is
by Samsung,
not sony(not totally sure)but on the vita yes
In major way sony do nothing,
they just buy and assembly some piece in the phone in china,
under their brand.
Only design and motherboard is sony
It's a pure cheap brand by fan ! :-D
This is not my first phone krkr!
I mean 34
I alway buy Ericsson in the past,
because they do some good
quality phone
but motorola have good quality phone too
(they construct all piece in the phone)
I have a sony ps vita,
and this is the same way,
the screen have spot,tint,line,ect..
If you not agree with me,
go on google and search about this ;-)
I'm surprised that you ignore quality on a phone made in china at low price !
But for me
I like the design of sony they made beautifully phone.
Btw,
Sad for you,hope you can get another phone
This phone is fragile,very fragile!
What do u mean. Quality offered by Ericsson. Have u been smoking? And who told u the screen if the vita is by Samsung. Sony manufactures OLED screens. The display on this phone is by Sony. So is the camera, or u wanna say exmor is by samsung. Even the battery. Dude, get your facts straight.

@kaosdroid don't talk rubbish, anyway this phone was designed while under Sony Ericsson...
to the OP I'm sorry, but that does not look like a gentle tap the point of impact looks like there was some pretty heavy force. Are sure it was from hitting the table? Not that I don't believe you, maybe it hit a weak point in the glass?
I always put the phone in my pocket screen facing inwards (to my leg) which just protects the screen from such damage, good tip
As for replacing under warranty due to the yellowing, I don't know if the digitiser and LED screen are intact as one piece i.e. the glass that shattered isn't the part they replace when repairing the screen problem

to the Sammy troll . Xperia s was made by se as this phone was designed 2 years ago look it up n vita OLED is by Sony n this display is also by sony oh n Sony has good build quality too btw they are known for it worldwide what planet do you live on??? He really must have dopped acid or something
Yeah thats what I am hoping like they are different parts. I duno whatever just hope they are going to be cooperative you know. I swear it was a tap cause se I shuffled to the side between the desks to make way for a guy passing n then on to the path I wasn't running or anything I was in class. But you know what I thought about the weak point how the ripples are made came to the conclusion that the point of impact was the speaker grill if thats what it is just below the Sony logo n that too the very edge of it so talk about bad luck to the max. Just hope it can be replaced n wont cost me an arm n a leg knowing Sony's pricing

Never forget that SE put a layer between the screen and glass to improve outside use in bright sun
This might made the glass weak

hmm yeah good point, the speak hole is probably pretty weak (literally a cut out in glass)
Sorry for u man!!
But u should've followed the order for not removing the protector (which is called shatter proof protector)
Well hope u fix it soon
Becareful everyone, don't remove it!!

To the discussion about who made the screen etc.
It may shock people to know sony have never manfuactured lcd panels themselves, they dont have a fab for it. They used to have a technical partnership / joint venture with samsung electroncs called S-LCD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-LCD)
But when sony brought out the erricson side of the mobile partnership, samsung purchased sony's stake in the displays partnership and then spun off the display arm into a new company (called samsung displays I think).
The new ipads screen is made by samsung
Samsung manufacture small and large lcd's along with there oled lines, they are one of the biggest manufacturers of lcd panels going the other major players are AUO, Hitachi, Lg, NEC/Phillips
Also from samsungs financial report (2010) sony are samsung electronics biggest buyer.
Samsung's largest clients (Q1 2010)
Rank/company Part description Buying (trillion KRW) Percent of total sales
1 Sony DRAM, NAND flash, LCD panels, 1.28 3.7
Edit - Have just had a quick look around on google and it doesn't seem as if anyone has done a bill of materials for it yet (they like pulling ipads apart for this) so unless people have screen part numbers we cant confirm / deny the supplier of the xperia s' screen
Hello to all,
First of all i wanna thank you for any help in advance.
I have a mentioned phone for a litle while but the problem appeared when Xperia fell on the ground. Now my mobile looks like it went tough a war.
I decided i will change the housing, but i have few question.
When you buy a new housing is there the front screen protector, or this is allready the screen? i needto know if sony xperia housing has someting over the screen or is it the display allready?
And if this is changable i would like someone to describe the procedure.
You can se pictures below. All the dots on the display are deep dents.
Thank you for all of your help
Matic

Hello Everyone. This thread might have been posted before & already answered but i seem that i can not find this.
I have a Sony Xperia S that i got from the Sony Store here in Toronto in April. I saw the yellow tint after 2 months & got Sony to send me a Purolator Label so i can send in the phone to get it fixed. Now seeing as they told me on the phone they might either change the LCD & all does that mean they will change the Glass & the built in Screen protector on the glass? They also told me there is a chance they might just send me a new Xperia S but they will try & fix mine first.
So all in all the question is, if Sony replaces the LCD, does they replace the Glass & the screen protector? The reason why i am asking is because my screen protector has gotten a lot of scratches which makes the screen look bad & i know its not the glass because i would have seen spider cracks but these are little scratches.
Also one other thing, How many of you here in Canada ( if possible or any other country) have sent in the phone with a yellow tint & got a new one xperia S?
I apologize if this has been answered before but i seem to not find it. Thank you for your help.
Question for Q&A section. Post your questions there from the next time. Regarding your query. They will be replacing the whole LCD panel alongwith the screen protector. They were giving quite a lot of replacement units initially due to a lack of availability of spares. Since that is not the case now, in all probability, you will get your old phone with a new LCD panel unless there is some other major fault that needs major repairs, then you might get a new replacement unit.
Cracked my screen on my ultra yesterday. Dont know how it happened. Pulled it out of the pocket and found hairline cracks.
Had the Sony Z1 and same thing happened.
These Sony screens must be the worst quality in the high end business. What is extremely annoying is that the cracked screen makes the phone unreceptive to touch actions from your fingers. I was left stranded for a whole day with no communication.
Ive cracked my iphone screen previously but even with heavy cracks and iphone still works. A small hairline crack on a Sony however renders it useless. It is for this reason I am not going to buy another Sony phone.
I don't mind the fact it can crack but to crack randomly and not work at all after a crack is unacceptable. Looks like back to the Iphone or Note 4 for me.

Post a picture of it if you can, it's pretty easy to tell how the screen broke if you examine the cracks.
It really seems like this may be a production fault of a sizeable set of devices, while the rest are built better. I remember one person posting that Sony had acknowledged this to be a problem when a cracked phone was turned in for warranty repair and offered a free replacement. There's a bunch of articles about this. Seems to affect the Z2 as well, so I understand your decision. :/
I think it's such a shame - and I couldn't agree more.
I had the same thing happen to my Z2 while it was sitting on the bed, switched back to my Z Ultra now and I'm constantly worried about the same happening with that. It seems to be a common problem across all the z series phones which leads me to believe it's down to the crappy dragontrail glass they use, I wish they'd use gorilla glass. My one x screen went through hell, even had a coke can(340 grams!) fall square on the screen from an overhead shelf a meter and a half above and was fine (to my amazement).
I know people are going to say it's glass it can crack (well yes - no **** sherlock) but the Sony glass just cracks to easily, either that or their qc is awful. I have to admit I was a sceptic and assumed people were just being heavy handed until I experienced it first hand, and I baby all my devices.
It's a shame because I love the Sony devices but I don't want something I have to carry around in bubblewrap, hopefully the next gen Samsung/Htc phones are waterproof then I'll jump ship.
Thing is Sony know about the issue, watchdog UK covered it a year ago but whether they actually replace it under warranty is a complete lottery. I have insurance but it's still unnecessary hassle
Use an ultra thin case, solves potential cracks. It's all about the amount of pressure in the pocket. A device this thin and large is more prone to cracking, obviously. The Achilles heel is located at the power button... Babying this device is a must, requires attention and dedication
Thanks Buddy. I was about to buy a Sony Z Ultra, bcoz of its larger display. I am a rough user of phones. Even on some second hand sales sites, I found some ads selling cracked screen phones ( nobody buys such cracked screen phone but ie different issue). I shall settle for smaller screen phones. Bye.

Have not had a single issue on screen cracking or anything of my Z1 and I had it for almost a year now.
I also cracked mine
I cracked mine by wearing swim trunks that were just too small for this phone and I sat down with it in the pocket and that was that. But i love it so I bought another. And I have just now finished turning my broken Z Ultra into a media center via XBMC, and an MHL adapter. Im thinking of making a short guide soon because while the phone is useless without functioning touch input, the guts are stil powerful, and its a shame to let that processing power go to waste. This a very low power consuming device when compared to htpcs.
Yeah, I will be moving on to the Nexus 6 because of this. I love my ultra, but I am already on my second phone because my 1st cracked in my pocket. Two of my buddies also had their's crack in their pockets too. We are big guys that wear baggy pants, so it wasn't like too much added stress. I will keep my ultra, but will turn to the nexus 6 as my daily driver. Honestly I don't think it is a matter of if the screen on this ultra will crack, but a matter of when.
I suggest iron brick and abuse it silly
Hello people!
I just dropped my phone display first into the floor.
The only visible damage is a tiny arced crack at the right edge of the screen, but that was enough to screw up the whole touch screen because the phone seems to activate touch around the crack, which leads me to my first question:
1 - Is there a way to disable part of the touch screen?
I can live without touch in the area of the damage, just not without any working touch
2 - Is there a way to hardware test using a PC to evaluate the extent of the damage?
3 - Do I buy just the screen, the screen + LCD or screen + LCD + frame?
4 - How do I know which OEM of Ebay to buy? Can I trust the ones saying it's an original Sony Screen + LCD?
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I do believe there are more people out there with same or very similar questions.
HI,
I had craked my z2 screen twise
in my experience u need to replace the whole LCD screen .
i had craked my Z before, but for Z , the crak didnt affect other parts , you can use the phone , but for z2 no hope.

in this case no, Z2 LCD display is seperateed from the glass
you can weirdly find glass and screen put as one but thats some sort of odd scam :/

Thank you so much for giving me the answer I wanted to hear. Unfortunately I can't find any videos on how to do this for the Z2. Have you done it? I'm curious to know whether the display is allover glued to the digitizer as in the case of the Z1 or if it's just glued around the corners of the screen as in the M2. Mind you that this is simply observations I've made from watching youtube videos, so the above mentioned information might not be correct.
man, u cannot separate the display and digitizer . its a single glass. for Z2. u need to replace the single glass
You could try finding parts from aliexpress, try looking through the feedbacks before ordering.
Or if you are not too bothered by the cracks you could just put on a screen protector or a tempered glass screen protector.
Try going into youtube and search witrigs for teardown and repair videos.
Wish you good luck! ?

Hi guys,
My Screen cracked, i order a new screen. I install it right with instructions. LCD screen works about 1 minutes, but now the phone has so called ghost touches.
What might be a problem? LDC-screen is broken?

Yeah!
I did take a chance and purchased a new glass without display. Good news is I never got an opportunity to use it, so I might be able to return it. Bad new is I'm now buying a front glass and lcd.
Even though it might technically be possible to just exchanging the front screen, I would say it's highly improbable that you will successfully do so.
Judged by my level of technical tinkering, I would say that a vast majority of the people in this forum will probably fail in exchanging front glass without exchanging lcd.
I'm not saying this to put anyone down, but I'm giving you the advice I wish I would've gotten before getting over-confident.
So for goodness sake,
BUY FRONT GLASS+DIGITIZER+LCD, and save yourself both time, headache, and possibly money
Hi, i'm waiting for my Z2 replacement screen and i have a question for those who have changed it, does the sensitivity of the touch screen is the same like the original? I mean the option that you can use the phone with gloves...
Thanks!
How much did it cost u, repairing the screen
