Screen protector for the X1

Hi guys,
Just orderd the X1, and was looking for a good screen protector to go with it.
1. Is it neccessary?
2. What do you guys use? any tips?
At the moment i am using a TYTNII with a brando ultraclear. Looked at the brando website, they don't support the X1 yet

I got my screen protector from www.pdair.com
I called Brando and they don't seem to have a plan to support the Xperia X1 yet.

This was the only one I could find other than cheapo no-name ebay ones.

Haven't received it yet, and it isn't cheap, but I don't want to keep my xperia screen naked for long.

That's a shame Brando is by far the best Screen Protector I've ever seen and used. Are there perhaps other devices supported by Brando that have a screen with the same size as the Xperia, so you could use that Screen Protector? Or perhaps I'll buy a bigger one from Brando and cut off some parts..

I would have loved to get a brando, but had to buy a Vikuiti ARMR200 which is a brandmark of the excellent factory of 3M.
But just wait for my X1 to arrive. It is ordered and I hope to get it the next 2-3 days.

hehe same for me i bought also this because i know it from an friends Nintendo DS, but i also wait for my X1

Do not buy one from screenpatronus on ebay as they do not fit!
I am in the process of getting my money back from paypal. Does anyone actually have on a screen protector that fits?

Be aware: 3M Vikuiti ARMR200 may cause problems when you'll be using the phone outside, on the bright light. This foil with "double anti-reflex coating" is great at home or in a car, but the screen becomes hardly readable when the sun shines really brightly. I'm using it on SE M600i and would prefer less anti-reflex.

Get a refund thru payal! These frausters should not be making money of innocent people like us!!
It really infuriates me when people sell things like this!
DO NOT BUY FROM:
SCREENPATRONUS
FALCIXX
I will keep this list updated!

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a screen protector I can get in the UK? The one which came with my Xperia doesn't fit well.

I second staying away from ScreenPatronUS. I tried them once before and was really disappointed. The screen protector quality was subpar and didn't fit correctly as others mentioned. Plus it actually caused issues with the touch screen recognition of the stylus or finger!
Go with one of the reputable sellers listed in this thread/forum....may cost a little more but worth it in the long run. I've used Zagg most recently for my Tilt (full screen/body cover) and it worked great. Hoping they have an X1 cover out soon.

Well i mailed Sony Ericsson asking which screen protector they advice for THEIR phone.
I got a reply saying they don't have any information about the screen protectors as they don't make/sell any so it's up to me to search for the right one.
I expected some more information

Buyer beware: Vikuiti ARMR200 doesn't fit properly, I think they rushed to be the first to release a screen protector. It's about 1mm too wide and long, nothing that a little hobby knife and and steady hand can't fix, but annoying nonetheless.
I much prefer the look of pocketpctechs WriteShield CrystalClear, I'll definitely be replacing my Vikuiti when they release the WriteShield.

i have the Vikuiti ARMR200 and yes it was to big, so i sent schutzfolien24.de an mail that it doesnt fit, they are sorry and sent out an new one, i think also that they rush to fast , anyway i removed 1mm from two sides with an cutter, and now it works, next week will come the new one, i will report back then.

Dust and screen

Hi all,
I have just noticed that I have one single particicle of dust under the glass of the LCD.
I am wondering if someone has experienced anything like that yet or I am the proud owner of the only HD2 in the world with a dust particicle under the screen.
I thought they were assembled in a clean room... in fact the dust particicle it's exactly on the center right of the display... I thought it was a bad pixel but luckily it is not.
Now I am wondering how to remove that. Gonna try some elctrostatic method...

Me to ... only noticed it today when putting on an HTC screen protector. It is to the bottom left under 'phone' on the left softbutton.
The question is ... are they not sealed properly ... or is this something that was trapped during the manufacturing process and subsequently moved. If it is the former ... we have a big problem.
I wonder how HTC approach this under their 2 year warranty ?
If it is sealed ... I assume there is no practical way to get the dust out.
I've had the device since the 11th.
Paul.

I don't know... let's wait and see. Mine is really near the center of the screen. It seems really strange that it is coming from the outside.
I have the device since the 17th.

Where did you get the screen protector from? and also does that have any effect on using touch screen on the phone?

Bump.
No one else yet report dust problems?
My single particicle is still there and I cannot move it anyway.
No other particicle yet although I am getting nervous and I am starting to see dust particicles everywhere.

I was quite surprised by your report, and keep checking my device for dust. Not found so far (using two weeks, also loose in pocket). Major dust problems would really disappoint me, such a high end product shouldn't have that...

Checking the device for defective pixels/dust under the glass is one of the very first tests I do when I'll eventually get mine.

Could you not just return it to where you bought it?

Hi,
not a dust particle for me, but like a "bubble" in the glass...
I took a picture of it :
its on the left hand side (most of the "dots" here are dust on the screen), there are 3 of them
on the picture it looks like 3 white dots but in reality it's a bubble in or under the screen...
I remember having the same problem you have with my SPV C500 and orange changed it.

Hi, I have a very similar "bubble" under my HD2 screen. It's right in the bottom right! Got my phone on the 29th. Should I take it back to the shop or contact HTC?

It begins...the usual HTC problems rear their ugly heads!
I have had a dust problem with every single HTC phone I've had all the way back to the original SPV! Damn them!

well... i contacted orange & they will change it (a brand new one)
this pb didn't really disturbed me, but then i read on a forum that a user broke his screen with a very small shock and i thought "this bubble might weaken my screen"
I had a quick chat with HTC regarding this, and the hotliner told me that "this shouldn't be on a brand new phone, it s a hardware issue, please contact your distributor asap & they will change it"

Well you are right... but a single dust particicle means that mine is unique, while yours is common.
By the way... I bought mine from expansys europe giving it back and having it substituted means months.

I'm afraid as previously mentioned, I too have one dust particle ... you are not unique at all
Let us stand tall together and proudly go where no HD2 has gone before ....

HTC are working on a hotfix for this bug, be patient <<joke

Strange ... when I called I was told they had determined it was a hardware problem and they had invested in nanobot technology to seek and consume alien dust organisms.

I have a speck of dust too!
bottom left of the screen.
only had it for 1 day!!!!!

I took mine back to the shop only to be told it was caused by me! I was not happy! I kicked off big time. You can clearly see the bubble is under the screen!!!! How the hell could I have done that!
Anyway they eventually agreed to replace the handset but they (o2 uk) have none in stock in any store! When asked when they would receive stock I was told that they don't know!!!! How can they not know? I was so mad. I made then make a note on my paperwork that I came back for a replacement just incase they get funny after the 14 day returns policy.
Im upset as the handset has so many problems -
* Reply to sms takes forever.
* Camera takes pink pictures
* Bubble under the screen (Which is common from what I can tell)
* and now I can see a .5 mm black line at the right hand side of the screen from top to bottom!
I think HTC rushed this phone to market.
To be fair HTC said they would repair the unit but I don't want them taking it apart. It's a brand new phone and I want a replacement.
Rant over

If you had it for only one day, you can ask for a replacement as your not happy with the pinkness of the camera for example.

[Q] Power button stuck inside unit.

Hey guys, got my F5 and like an idiot i messed up the power button. It is now inside the unit but still accessible. I can press it if my nails are long enough but i want to know if there is anyone with a fix for this. Nothing urgent since I'm on stock ROM with tap to wake. So has anyone been through this?
Update: Plying it out with a needle did not work.

Get something flat and wedge it out? Happened on one of my older phones once, usually just raises back into place with a little tough love.The find 5 back cover is also "fairly" easy to lift,as demonstrated by XDA unboxing.

I tried with a needle and it wouldn't budge. Ill try again with something wedged. Just dont want to damage it any further.

Hello Fkardame, I hope you've got a chance to watch the torture test on the official site where a guy uses the find 5 as a hammer so going by that i'm impressed. I was considering a Nexus 4 but have switched my mind and i hope it stays as i plan to order one in the next couple of days. The other contenders were Gionee Elife E6, Dream D1, and the micromax canvas turbo. But I think Oppo has a perfect blend of all the qualities and features i'm after and my only concern is it isn't IPX-7 certified

My phone has hit the ground from about 1 meter (3 feet) 2 times on the corner. The plastic on the corners is somewhat damaged but the screen is still perfect. If I remember correctly it has Corning Gorrilla Glass. My HTC Desire also had that (but an earlier version), it dropped from about 1 meter high onto a steel corner. The aluminium unibody had a small dent in it, but the even here the screen was still fine (no cracks or scratches).
So in my experience Gorilla Glass is something you can rely on.

Wait are you for real? I can't possibly open up my phone? What about warranty and such? I'm a real noob when it comes to those things :s

oppo power button
It's not the mechanism inside the phone, but for some reason oppo 5 has an inside button and another button glued on top of that. So when you loose the upper button (which is just stuck on with cheap double sided tape) you see the inside one that doesn't rise out of the case. You can just reach it with your fingernail. If you measure the size, you can get a replacement cut out from 1mm plexiglass with a laser cutter and glue it in. I did that multiple times as it falls out every 3 months. I think this is a serious design flaw on the oppo 5.

The back case is actually really easy to remove. Get a credit card and cut it so it has a bit of edge like a razor then firmly push IN THEN UP. If you just pry up you risk breaking the little snaps. Once your in you can just re-position the power button back on to the button with a toothpick. If the button is really loose you might want to stick a piece of paper inside to make it tight.
P.s. if your every careful about removing the case it does it void the warranty as the technicians simply visually inspect to see you didn't **** it up. And i won't tell

LG G4 UK review

I got the LG G4 trough the insiders campaign in UK
Actually I own a Nexus 5, while in the past I had an S2 and a Note 2.
Nexus 5 is a quite good phone but battery life also with custom kernel is limited to its the battery size. Moreover when I bought my Nexus 5 I was coming from a Note 2, so I started to miss a bigger screen and for sure a better camera that is the weaker point of Nexus 5.
Battery
Let’s start from what everyone take care and want to now when they have to buy a new smartphone: “The battery life”.
So, taking into account that the battery life of a smartphone really depends on the usage pattern of every single user, apps and mobile reception of where we live, after 5 day of usage I can say that with my pattern of usage (see below) I am constantly getting between 4 and 5 hours of SOT.
Pattern of usage: 2 mails in push (one for work where I usually receive many mails by day), mixed use wifi/data, no push notification for facebook, chatting, browising, watching few videos, and reading mostly all the time. Some camera shots when I am with friends. Brightness always in automatic mode.
Camera
There are already too many example and comparisons on youtube. I can only confirm that the camera great one of the best for now. I have a DSLR camera and like to take my time when I have to take a picture of a landscape. So I really appreciated the manual mode and how it is good and simple the interface of the new camera app. Everything can be settled with few taps. Although a smartphone probably will never substitute a DSLR camera, with that toy on G4 you can have fun for sure.
Display
Also here, already many review and comparisons with the S6 amoled. Without judging which is better because I do not own an S6, what I can tell for sure is that it is really good. Colors are never saturated and brightness is fine in the majority of the situations. What I found really improved is the antiglare, the reflection of the sun seems to me pretty good, while a negative impression is that the display seems to be really power hungry as soon as you increase the brightness.
Reception and Calls
Reception is basically the same of my nexus 5 (pretty good) while I found the calls really clear on the LG G4 and better than my nexus 5.
Speakers
Good and really loud… was unexpected!
Missing Features out of the box
Two missing feature out of the box are the wireless charging and the quick charging. While the quick charging is officially supported by the SD808 and we only have to wait for a kernel update to have it enabled, the big disappoint is the wireless charge. Big disappoint because it is not officially supported on the leather cover but only buying a circle cover. After all the advertising on that cover by LG I can not understand why to enable a common feature of any actual flagship we have to change cover (or via an unofficial way, like a sticker to add to the cover).
Overall and final considerations
This phone is satisfying me under the majority of aspect that I want from a phone, like the battery life, the camera, the display and the quality of calls. I think this phone has a huge potential that can be improved with a good custom kernel and a lighter custom rom (even if I have to say that I found the stock rom really fluid and without any lag). With a custom kernel we will probably gain an other hour of SOT.

I got an email yesterday to say that I didn't get picked.

I'm in as well, with the insiders too. One disappointment is I thought we would get the phone before launch, it doesn't look that way anymore. I wonder if they will send out a random selection of colours or just the black.

I didn't get in. Looks like I'll have to buy one in Black Leather next week instead [emoji14]

Yep mee too .. From the mail seems that the device will arrive for the end of this week

I didn't get in, keen to hear what you guys think before ordering one

I'm in too! Devices are arriving tomorrow so we should be one week ahead of launch

I have been selected too for the UK campaign!! Tomorrow UPS is delivering the G4
I think at the end of the program we will be offered to keep the phone for £250, this is the money that they would take in case of loss lol
I'm pretty sure it is going to be the UK/EU model.

I'm just wondering if we will be getting the LTE of the WiFi only model from what I've seen that's the one the testers are getting overseas

And me mine due tomorrow as well
Has anyone figured out whether it will be metal or leather yet
Also I'm quite intrigued by the tone infinum headset that we are getting aswell

I just think it would be strange that the rest of the world gets the wifi model and the people in the UK the full one but then again the other people didn't have to leave a safety bond

That's very true, but I'm sure it said somewhere that rrp 500 that wouldn't be a dummy phone.
But on the other hand, why would the payment only be 250 if you didn't return it when the phone is around 599 gbp and the headphones are 80

Hey!
Does your G4 have 4G?! The one I got doesn't support it.

Mine too will arrive tomorrow ... it sound strange that the UK model is the only one not wifi, but it is also true that we were probably the only ones we had to provide the bank account to have it .. let's see tomorrow what we will get

Screen Coating Issues - Please Check Yours and Post Here!

I've had my phone since Monday and have been noticing these two horizontal lines on my phone screen - one on the top left of the screen and the other bottom right. If I wipe them off they virtually disappear, but if I then put my finger over them they come back straight away. I think these are defects in the coating of the screen so that these regions attract fingerprints/oil etc more than the rest of the screen. Here are some pictures:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2w6pcsrmm8d4b31/DSC_0416.JPG?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zv68silgavv80q7/DSC_0417.JPG?dl=0
I have been extremely careful with my phone and haven't done anything that should have caused this to happen. Anyone else noticed anything similar?

I had exactly the same issue in exactly the same places! My thoughts were that it was glue from the build process! Anyway I returned it to the store and they gave me a new one!

Wow, good to hear I'm not the only one. The placement of the lines seems to suggest the screen was maybe passed through rollers during manufacture and these damaged the coating.
I too wasn't sure whether the marks were residue or missing parts of the coating. To test this, I applied a few small drops of water to the screen and they bead into nice droplets where the coating is intact, but when I apply water to the affected areas it spreads out along the line, kept in by the coating outside the region. Here's a picture: photo on dropbox
This is pretty conclusive as far as I'm concerned. I hope the online store I bought my phone from is happy to replace it!

Me too! (P.S. Hi Whirlpoolian )
I edited your thread title to try to attract others, hope you don't mind.
I thought I had dropped it on the screen and caused it. But I know I haven't dropped of bumped it on the screen.
So I think for sure this proves it's a flaw. Let's see who else has this, and what we can possibly do about it.
Please post which version of G4 you have so we can see if there are any patterns.
Mine is the 815 from Taiwan. I've wet the screen to highlight where they are on mine.
I've contacted the place I bought mine from to see what they make of it, as I feel this is a manufacturing flaw that should be replaced.

Yep, mine's an 815 from Taiwan too.
Another very easy way to check is to wipe the screen clean and then fog it with your breath. The affected regions show up very clearly.
I've also contacted the place I bought mine from... haven't heard anything back yet, I guess because it's the weekend.

Yeah. I've had it too. But mine is on right top, and right bottom.
I will try to go to LG service center in Monday. Mine in the dual Sim version.

Not seeing it on my H811 from Korea. Tried both the fingerprints and the water drops and couldn't find anything. (For some reason my breath won't fog up the screen - maybe I'm a zombie or something? )

Mine seems flawless. Yay.

Hopefully you guys will be as lucky as I was and get a replacement! If not, you might wanna try seeing if this or something similar works!

I had the same issues on my O2 UK handset. Lines across the screen equal distance from top and bottom.
Mine got swapped out at my door for a replacement which is perfect.

LG quality control seems lacking on the g4. I've owned several LG devices from the og optimus to the flex and g3. Usually this isn't prominent in LG threads

Same probleme over here... one line on the top left corner and 2 more on the right one...

I have the same issue, I got it home from buying it and thought I had somehow already scratched it... I've been kicking myself for a week now thinking how dumb I was. Time to take it back to tmobile today.

Let me know how that goes. T Mobile stores are a ***** to get a phone returned.. Even when the phones are obviously flawed they'll try to warranty exchange it or tell you to pay the 50 dollar restocking fee.

Same problem. Those lines appeared on 3rd day of usage. There's at least 7 or so users who have the same defect with their screens on russian phone community 4pda.ru
I'm currently trying to convince the seller that it is a production defect so that I can have the phone returned... It's not an easy thing to do in Russia but I will do my best.

Wow, thanks for the thread. I checked and I have two lines, one at the top and one at the bottom. Didn't notice it on day 1. I have the 815 from Clove.

Hm, maybe someone should make a list which modells from which reagion are having this problem. I have several G4s here and none has this issue, H815 o2 DE (Germany) batch. This batch was released just around the 8. june, o2 customers in Germany had to wait until then to get the phone, maybe it is only in the first production batch of the G4s.

I just shipped mine back to Clove. Will get a new one sent once they receive it.

Today i recivied a call from LG. I wil have a replacement in a few days when they confirm its a fabrication deffect.

Wow. I would totally send that back.
I have a Verizon G4 and the screen is fine. This is probably for the 815 international models
