Does anyone have issues with the touchscreen? There are times where I would tap and hold, but only a tap would register. I am using a film protector on my screen, but I don't think that it should affect it.
I have no issues with mine. Despite what you think, screen protectors can affect screen sensitivity.
Screen protectors definitely cause small touch screen issues. You have to tap a little more than usual sometimes.

Capacitive Buttons on my phone seem to not always work, sometimes takes 2-3 presses anyone else experience this? Is it my screen protector? Defective phone or just "part of the phone"?
I'd say it's the screen protector. I sometimes accidentally press mine twice because I only draw my finger back a little bit, thinking it's off the screen(It's not.)
I got used to hard buttons and a resistive touchscreen, so I'm still getting used to exactly how sensitive this screen is.
Point is- I'd take off the screen protector. Unless you bathe your pockets in tungsten, diamonds, or sand, your screen isn't going to scratch. I've tested mine with pocket knives, keys, razor blades, and everything else I can think of that would scratch my old phone. Nothing. It's tempered glass- it's not going to scratch very easily at all. I've had mine for two weeks now, no protector, and there aren't even any tiny scratches, and I'm not careful with it at all. Heck, I have a silicone case on it, so I can actually drop it about a foot without worrying at all about the screen shattering. It's a very well built device. (I don't suggest dropping it, it deserves better, but I was testing.)
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.

Got a CrazyonDigital matte screen protector from amazon (sorry not able to post urls yet - product title is "CrazyOnDigital Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Sprint HTC Evo 4G LTE One (3-pack)
by CrazyOnDigital")
First issue I had with it was that the size did not match perfectly with the screen size on the e4glte. The edges and the bottom corners of the screen were left open.
The biggest letdown however, was the fact that it was interfering with the proximity sensor on the phone (no cut-out on the screen protector). At first I started noticing intermittent problems with the screen not coming on during calls, and strangely a reboot seemed to fix these issues, so for a while I was unsure if it was a problem with my phone or the screen protector. Today though, I was able to consistently replicate the problem, then took the screen protector off, and voila! no issues with the proximity sensor on several tests.
I really liked the matte finish on this screen protector and it did not seem to affect touch sensitivity at all. What other high quality brands are out there with a similar finish, and of course one that does not interfere with the proximity sensor, that you all would recommend?
Thanks!
Has anyone removed the screen protector that comes pre-installed on the device? Does the screen have an oleophobic coating underneath? Mine is starting to detach at the bottom due to the constant swiping up gestures.

I removed it as soon as I noticed it (which was day 1). I hate them as they dull the screen. No idea about the coating but the back gets FAR more smudgy than the front!
Good to know - thanks.
Not sure if it's just my screen protector, which i have had to replace now a couple of times.
But i am finding when i touch the very edges of the phone, it's not very responsive, the part almost as it curves.
Is anyone else finding that?
Regards
James
Strange, what kind of screen protector do you use?

Download edge touch goodlook module from galaxy store to edit unresponsive area
It is intended by samsung to prevent accidental touch from edges , but edge touch app can decrease or remove the unresponsive area
Give that a try, didn't really make any difference.
Is it normal that the edges aren't very responsive then, or is something up with mine?
I guess i'll have to also take yet another screen protector off to make sure it's not that.
