Hey guys. So i noticed that when viewing my x10 in direct sunlight that the screen has a rainbow reflection. I can still view it but it has like a rainbow gloss over it. Is that just an effect that sunlight has on an lcd screen? Its fine in doors or at night. Thanks

It's the double rainbow technology that the x10 is famous for.

Yes, because the Liquid in LCD is made of unicorn tears.

Is it anything like this?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3qFdbUEq5s
just kidding man...I dunno wipe any oil/fingerprints off the screen. Did you install a third party screen protector?
Naw. The screen protector is the one it came with. Ill try wiping the screen tomorrow and see how it does. Its just wierd that it gets all colourful once in the sun haha

I know what you mean. Pretty standard for glossy lcds. Enjoy the phone!
lol the reason its reflective like that is because of the screen protector that comes with the phone. after i took it off the effect went away.
I get the same thing, it looks like the same effect I get from polarized lenses.
Unicorn tears lok

You can remove that shipping screen protector, and it will look better. The glass is scratch resistant..

Anyone have an tips for putting it on as I've had 0 luck with screen protectors in the past.

And why is there 2 screen protectors one coloured round the edges and one just clear?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Crisis averted. Did the ole scotch tape trick to remove the dust particles. That should be in all screen protectors instructions as it works a treat.

My general rules are (1) try to do it in a humid atmosphere, so there's less dust in the air, eg. a bathroom with a shower running, (2) to wash the back of the protector with water just before applying, and (3) try to fix errant dust motes with tape on the front to peel up a corner, and tape underneath to grab the dust, which it sounds like you've done. Personally I'm a big fan of the Brando ultra-clear protectors. Good luck!
I'm really loving the look of the phone with the colour change but the screen seems to have a kind of static look to it. Hopefully I'll get used to it as the phone looks great

I bought some SGP protectors for my S III. Well one of the kinds I bought was the ultra optics or whichever the the one that resists fingerprints is and it has almost like a texture on the screen which is kind of annoying to look at. I feel like it dulls the whole thing. I may take it off eventually and put the remaining ultra crystal I have from my i747
Really loving this screen protector.
The galaxy's s3 seems to me like it is very prone to scratches.
I always keep my phone in a pocket with nothing in it like keys or money yet I've got some pretty deep scratches on it.
I didnt get anywhere near as much with my s1, s2 or galaxy tab p1000.
Basically this screen is giving me protection and I'd even go as far as to say that it is making the scratches that I've acquired less noticeable.
Feels great too. I'm my opinion better that original screen and you have the added bonus of the anti fingerprint.
Defo recommend this

I just wanted to say how happy I am I waited for the black color to become available. And by waited, I mean bought a blue then a white and now my lovely black. I definitely like the black the best

I saw it a few days ago in the shop and I have to admit it looked gorgeous and much better than the blue one. I also noticed the plastic on the edges is a fraction of a millimeter higher against the glass, I guess they did some minor revisions on the manufacturing.
Bought one but reverted back to the white. Couldn't stand all those fingerprints. Even the slightest specks of dust were visible too.

It IS gorgeous...got mine via expansys a few days ago. Not that this should be a reason to love a phone but have had several people ask if this is the galaxy s4 lol.
Because of the amoled tech, if you disable the wallpaper using apex or something, the blacks of the screen are so deep that it looks completely seamless the frame/bezel. Currently rocking a minimalist white icon dock and it all looks very slick.
Highly recommended.
I waited very very long too only to grt it in black.i generally have always black phones i love the dsrk style but on the s3 it looks georgeus.
It makes the s3 look like a alien weapon

LoL that's a blue with a black cover.
My Pebble Blue looks very similar to that. I've got a black cover on the back of it and it's hard to distinguish both! Quite interesting!

No, it's black. The flash is messing with the picture. It does look a tad blue in the pic. I assure you in person the black is black, the burple and black look very different.

Guys, I got my nexus 4 a few days ago any it's been awesome!! Today I dropped my phone any it got scratched!! The scratch is slightly noticeable when the screen is on and very bright! I can also see a rainbowish effect (very very small) when the screen is on!! Is there any way to hide this scratch!! Please please help me out!!! Thank you!!

Don`t think you can hide it with a screen protector, but you could try. Maybe it will look a bit better. Best way would be to have the screen replaced. Didn`t you use a case or bumper? It is a glassy phone proned to shatter on impact.
Did you even try Google? If it's not as bad as the one in the linked guide, just cover it with a scratch protector and you won't be able to notice it.
Alright, I am using a poetic borderline with my nexus, I ordered a nillkin screen protector... Hope it works!!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Okay, the screen protector turned out to be matte and it just made the scratch look worse. Ordering a wet install screen protector soon.. Any idea if they will work?? I can feel the scratch when I run my finger nails over it and it is clearly visible outdoors!!

Yeah i'd definitely recommend black. But be warned, once you go black, you never go back
many people here would say black but i personally am using white and i can say it looks absolutely gorgeous and best part no fingerprints!!, been using for a month now no signs of getting dirty either.
was in the same boat as you are, saw a couple of videos and always at the at end of the review the black unit would get covered with fingerprints couldnt stand it got the white and loving it
It's a personal choice.
Ask yourself whether you would dress in white from top to bottom (white hat, white suite, white vest, white pants, white socks, white shoes) or black one.
Get the white one. Seriously. The black one looks like its a s3 clone. The white one actually manages to look pretty and isn't a fingerprint magnet.

I chose Black because my previously phone was white. (Well silver and white HTC One but my Note before that was white). Sometimes it's good to switch it up. White if you like to stand out, black if you like the sleek look. Either way, you're gonna slap a colored case on it. Enjoy.

I think the "finger print magnet" thing is over-rated...got blown up by the reviews sites like gsm arena...so silly...every gadget in our lives is finger print magnet..that is the truth..but it is always up to the user....

What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?
What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen
I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.
Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.
It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?
