If you are thinking about that thick vinyl that comes with your phone and gets filled with air pockets after 2 hours of use,i removed that one the first day,but if there is another one,pls tell me
[Xperia Play Accessories] thomaszq:
I think there already is a screen protector preinstalled, i didn't noticited it. I think that's the reason why it's so hard to put another screen protector on it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
There's actually one under that, it's got a great fit to it and you can't even tell it's there. If you look where the buttons meet the glass you can see there's a film on the screen. It's not really a screen protector it's a film they put on to prevent the screen from shattering if you dropped your phone kind of like safety glass in your car windshield it will still break but it doesn't let the glass fly. The problem with it is it's super soft so it picks up a ton of scratches. I recommend removing it and if you want apply a real screen protector that won't pick up scratches. Like I said it isn't really a screen protector just a soft piece of thin vinyl that scratches like crazy. To get it off get a pin or tack and pick away at it by the search button and once you get it lifted a little you can just peal it off with no problem. The mineral glass underneath is pretty dang scratch resistant but once that crappy film is off you can apply a proper protector with ease. Hope that helps some :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] Fokezy:
Thx,as soon as I get an InvisibleShield I will peel it off. Maybe I should sue mobileden for fraud?:D
[Xperia Play Accessories] jdsemler:
Here is what it looks like when removing the factory vinyl. I had to use a thumb tack to get it started. I pushed down hard on it to get it started, and it did not harm the glass, but the vinyl scratches easily.

Edit: ack, the camera really captures the lint. I will say the colors are much more vibrant with that vinyl off. I should have taken a before and after pic of that.
[Xperia Play Accessories] projectmayhem22:
Been wondering about this as my screen has got a couple of annoying scratches on it. Good to know the actual screen is much more resistant :D

Editing to add that I just took it off and can confirm that everything looks more vibrant
[Xperia Play Accessories] olokos:
Thank you everyone for that info especially jdsemler. :)

Ima buy the invisible shield in couple months :)

Either way i'd never realize that i got the film on the screen :D
[Xperia Play Accessories] netizenmt:
Yeah, me too. I didn't realize there was another shield there. Good to know when I can afford to order a Zagshield later.
[Xperia Play Accessories] fma965:
Hmm I never noticed that also I think I put my cheapo screen protector over that film
[Xperia Play Accessories] fma965:
Yeah I did have 1 to It a unlocked UK model just removed it and looks so much more vibrant
[Xperia Play Accessories] Droid117:
You say that and I've found my screen is the scratch magnet, heck at one point I only pulled the phone out of my pocket with nothing else and I get a massive scratch. :/
[Xperia Play Accessories] olokos:
With the film off?
[Xperia Play Accessories] dannejanne:
I hate the Zagg "invisible" (quite the opposite) shields. The material is so uncomfortable I would take scratches on the screen instead every day of the week. Those shields are soft plastic of some sort and the fingers almost gets stuck on them while swiping (lots of friction). No smooth movement because of that and the image gets a lot more distorted than with the original screen protector on.

I really like the original screen protector as you can hardly tell it's there and it feels good on the finger. I regreted I ever removed mine and bought new original ones and am a happy camper again. They protect against speckles very well too which the Zagg ones doesn't do either. The Zagg shields are the most uncomfortable ones I have ever used and it's hard to get it on without getting bubbles and leftovers from the liquid that distorts the image even more.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Droid117:
I think it's the shatter proof one that's picking up most my scratches. Can somebody post a video of peeling it off? I see a very thin line with less than a millimeter gap between the phone edge and this protector. Can somebody confirm that it's the protector I'm looking at?
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:
http://androidcommunity.com/xperia-play-comes-with-screen-skin-protector-attached-20110525/

This article will explain how to do it, i put a high powered torch on the screen whilst its off, it lights up the screen protector perfectly
[Xperia Play Accessories] speedyink:
I took the stock screen protector off and have been using it naked for months now. Not a single scratch yet.
[Xperia Play Accessories] MinionOfEckerd:
Just experienced my first small drop with my screen protector off. It slid across the hardwood floor in my dining room, picked it up, no scratches or dents. :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
Yea the unprotected screen is still mineral glass which is really scratch resistant (car keys don't scratch it). Honestly most people don't need a screen protector they just like the safety blanket feeling of having one. Now back when touch screens were resistive.... Yea you better get a protector it was just soft plastic.
[Xperia Play Accessories] sesamo:
Is the mineral glass of sony better than the gorillaglass?
[Xperia Play Accessories] TheCraig:
So the Screen Protector is useless? I want to remove it but I also love a non scratched screen, can someone confirm the Mineral glass is very hard to scratch?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Samberoony:
I've had the screen protector off for abo 3 months and I've had no issues so far
[Xperia Play Accessories] fma965:
its not a screen protector. it's a anti shatter film unless you mean the other one!
[Xperia Play Accessories] Droid117:
Managed to get that nasty protector off, time to actually test the strength of gorilla glass! (Our phone does use that right?)
[Xperia Play Accessories] TheCraig:
No, Mineral Glass which is still scratch resistant.
[Xperia Play Accessories] sufy1000:
So when I bought my Xperia Play it already had a screen protecter on it?
[Xperia Play Accessories] netorino:
Yes, I haven't heard of any version that didn't come with it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
Not really a screen protector but a soft vinyl sheet to prevent the screen from shattering if you were to throw it at concrete or something. But unfortunately it is super soft and scratches like crazy. You'll want to remove it before installed a non crappy aftermarket one.
[Xperia Play Accessories] sufy1000:
Oh crap what i've done is i've put a screen protecter that I bought from Amazon on the screen.

Shall I take that soft vinyl off or is it okay to leave the screen protecter on top of it ?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
If it looks ok and the touch seems responsive enough I'm sure you're OK. Some people say when you take off the stock vinyl the screen gets more vibrant, I really didn't notice anything but YMMV.
[Xperia Play Accessories] CZroe:
You're right: It's not really a screen protector and people in this thread should stop calling it that. It's a part of your phone that and removing it likely voids your warranty. I'd also like to point out that it does not provide any significant protection from shattering the screen. What it does is hold the glass together in the event that it does shatter so the phone is still somewhat useable. Ask me how I know. :o

Anyway, replacement touch panel glass screen digitizers are available but the double-sided adhesive gasket that sticks it to the frame is not. If your screen is shattered, there will be glass shards all over the gasket and you will not be able to reuse it easily. Once again, ask me how I know. :o
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:
Lol I went through exactlythe same thing :-) before I dropped it I noticed that my touch screen was being erratic everytime I was typing with one hand or just in general which makes me think the vinyl sheet reduces responsiveness so there isn't any interference as well as preventing finger cuts when it does break ;-) btw does anyone know what the sticky stuff around the digitizer is or a substitute I could use?
[Xperia Play Accessories] leerpsp:
just got mine off it was so badly missed up to the point to were i was not abule to see the screen so i got it off and it looks good i think i will buy a rubber screen protector my radio shack has them and i will buy a protective case and my unlocked bootloader lol by the way does any one have one of them rubber screen protector no finger parents at all or scratches at all. my mom has one for her phone and it works very good
[Xperia Play Accessories] savage24x:
Wow... That's the only word I can think of right now...
[Xperia Play Accessories] Allrightyroo:
Holy **** ! i removed the screen vinyl thing and tried to scratch my play with keys and it did scratch my screen .. f*ck that mineral glass screen .. :mad: can someone confirm that it has one more layer ?
[Xperia Play Accessories] sufy1000:
Crazy stuff ! what made you do that ?
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:
No more layers, lol, why do that?
[Xperia Play Accessories] Allrightyroo:
Coz i read that the xperia play screen is made up of mineral glass that is very hard to scratch .. and so i tried to scratch it my self and there goes my screen ..

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

is there anyway to remove light scratches ? Please don't tell me to wipe the screen coz i already did many times !
[Xperia Play Accessories] netorino:
Some people say that small scratches kind of vanish after putting a screen protector on top of it.

You could try putting one and see if it gets disguised.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Allrightyroo:
Thanks for the tip ill try that..
[Xperia Play Accessories] sharpz811:
so let me get this straight.... without the original screen protector ooopps sorry gorilla watever its called will the screen be more responsive to touch? because without my second decent screen protector its hard to slide my finger accross the screen. feels like a dried va jay jay.

dont ask me how i kno. or do i? screw u if u think i do:p
[Xperia Play Accessories] sufy1000:
I have the stock screen protecter and my own screen protecter on my Xperia Play and have no problems with the touch screen.

So basically I have 2 screen protecters on.

Even the slighest movement with my fingers the screen responds to it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Allrightyroo:
I found a solution! :D

So what i did is i bought a cheap anti smudge screen protector and installed and

BAM! the scratches disappeared well atleast some of it haha !

it hid the scratches :p

And for the guy who gave me the idea thank you BRO!
[Xperia Play Accessories] silmes:
I have the stock screen protector that´s already on the phone when you buy it.

When it gets worn out, I´ll probably remove it and install the one that came separately with the phone.
[Xperia Play Accessories] dierdrehurndony:
lol..crazy stuff
[Xperia Play Accessories] narflynn619:
you sir, are plain stupid :p

@ALL

I dropped my phone last December onto the edge of a metal-encased laptop of my co-EMT, and guess what, a nasty dent on the margin surrounding the digitizer..:(

though i'm still irritated whenever i see it, at least it's covered by my Trident case :D

and the buttons' silver coating are gone, too, the buttons are now black, and it's cooler i think

my Xperia PLAY's having his first birthday next month! and still kicking ass! yey!:D

I recently updated my Infuse to 2.3.5 using Samfirmware

I've tried using SuperOneClick to root my phone

It did not work.

The program became unresponsive.

Has anyone been able to root their phone under the Gingerbread firmware?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Ugh not this question again. Since 2.3.3 google has locked up the rage against the cage exploit. It was being used to push malware to Android devices.

Root must be pre installed in the ROM or it must be pushed on boot by the kernel with initramfs mods. Any custom kernel on the forum will root your phone but breaks wifi. Since you can use Odin get a custom kernel in .tar form and flash it to your phone or use heimdall to flash a kernel zimage (extract the .zip or.tar) the proper kernel can then be flashed back after you pull it out of the Odin package. Once you get rooted get sgs kernel flasher so you can switch back and fourth between backups if you want the additional advantages of a custom kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bandit_Kaine:
Can't root 2.3.5 that way. I reccomend you checkout the development forum and use JordanElliots PRE-Rooted 2.3.5 uckj1.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ramonqc:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ajwflight:
Specific Superoneclick to use...

To root the Infuse with Samfirmware's 2.3.5, the only version that works is:

Superoneclick 2.2 - it's the zergRush exploit that makes this possible. Worked flawlessly for me..

Now on to the HDMI not working issue!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] heidisory:
fwiw I used the soc v 2.2 and it didnt work with my infuse.

i ended up using DooMLoRD's toolkit that has zergRush in it, For whatever reason having it run in a command prompt made it work

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Lol you may be stock GB with froyo bootloaders. You can't root 2.3.3 and up that way. The exploit is gone since it was used to push malware top Android phones. Not super one click, the exploit it uses to work.

Since att gingerbread bootloaders aren't available you need to either Odin flash a stock ROM and start from scratch (lame, no need to go back to stock unless you prefer a stock ROM)or Odin (heimdall is what I actually prefer) flash a custom kernel with a rainbow fix (all of the GB kernels out now have this) to fix recovery and install cwm (this also roots you, way easier than the stupid one click, recover, cwm run around).

If you see rainbows then how did you"flash a rooted ROM" I don't get how you flashed anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] autotrademark:
use this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293671 and here how I did it. It took me less than 5 min to flash this ROM

Best of luck

First install ROM Manager from the Market and open it.

ROM Manager Installation Instructions:

1) You must be rooted.

2) Download ROM from above link and place it on your internal SD card.

3) At the "Installation Type" prompt, select full.

4) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, you MUST check "Wipe Data and Cache"

5) Press OK. Your phone will reboot and automatically install the ROM. Just sit back and relax.

Thank you, I'll give it a shot in a bit and let you know!! .... :)

So long story short, my thrives screen is coming apart! It appears the glass is separating from the touch screen... i guess ( see pic below)

I called toshiba and they make me give them all my info and then tell me before they can help me i must register the device ( not even 6 months old )

I then get transfered to register the device and again get transfered back to support......

After i give them my info for the third time and explain my problem they put me on hold to see if it is covered under warrenty.

The lady comes back and tells me that that is not covered under my warrenty! It is not considered normal wear and tear....... You damn right its a defect.!

I then asked to speak to a manager because i baby my electronics! supposedly one will call me in the next 2 hrs to 2 working days.........

Anybody feel their amaze getting really really warm, almost hot? Kinda makes me not wanna use my phone a lot just because the heat might mess it up.

This happens around 15 mins of usage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevo89:
I haven't had that issue even under heavy use like games, videos, and web.
[HTC Amaze 4G] reggiedls:
It may be an app or apps constantly running. Do you check your task manager often? U may have to kill some apps. Also is it charging when you use the phone? I know it gets hot quickly that way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thompsd:
Really depends on what's running. When you first initialize the phone it's going to get hot as it syncs and updates everything but that should pass. If you have location enabled and use the gps, it will get hot, if you use maps and the screen is on, it will get hot...just check it for whats running and delete whats unnecessary. Of course I'm waiting for the root to really delete the crapware.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
My amaze has been overheating it feel's like it's on fire randomly sometimes , even when im not on apps .
[HTC Amaze 4G] Adamp24:
Mine gets really hot too.. not quite but almost too hot to touch. It's not even plugged in when it happens and its just from playing music it charging.. no heavy usage. Hopefully it'll disappear once we get some roms with no bloatware!
[HTC Amaze 4G] g_says:
Yeah I experience overheating last night. This is by far the worst ive come accross on any phone. I may go to t mobile and look at the galaxy s2. I love this phone but too many problems for me
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
I can honestly say that there is no overheating issue with the GS2. I even have this phone plugged into the charger while browsing the internet and the phone is not overheating.
[HTC Amaze 4G] reggiedls:
Thats exactly what i experienced using my amaze. Charging and using it i have no overheating issues. I guess its just the luck of the draw with these two phones. No phone is perfect though and i think both these devices have great features and potential.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
Yeah, both phones are great. Its just with finding the right fit for you. I chose GS2 because I figured we would have a larger dev community, its lighter because of its plastic design and Super Amoled+. The downside of this phone is its resolution, but I don't notice it that much for it to be a big con. I heard some people actually rather the hefty-ness of the Amaze. I'm not gonna lie I love the design quality of it. HTC is always known for gorgeous designs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] reggiedls:
Exactly. Finding the right fit for "you" is correct. I came from a vibrant and didnt wanna deal with twiz anymore. I had my ups and down with that phone and i figured i'd give htc a try since i had samsung already. Tbh im happy with the amaze and i know u happy with your sgs2
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
Definitely happy with my purchase. This phone fits my exact needs. I'm surprised that your not getting overheating issues though. Most of my HTC phones with metal built in or around them had overheating issues after a few minutes of operating them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] reggiedls:
Im actually suprised also. Smart phones do get warm when using alot but i might have got lucky because im constantly plugged in and doing something on this phone. My phone hasnt been above 98 degrees f yet. And thats while cruising the net or playing eternity warriors. I dont have any hd games yet so i'll test again when they become available to see if the phone gets real hot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
I guess you definitely one of the lucky few cause my myTouch 4g, G2, Nexus One, HD2 and Sensation all heated up. I know all phones heat up when in use, but the GS2 won't even get hot on the charger while in use and to me that's amazing. I'm glad you enjoy your phone and your not experiencing such issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Enzopreme:
you also have to remember 2 things though.... 1) the unibody designs always conduct the heat to the outside of the phone, although its operating at the same temp of most phones, the reason you notice it with the newer htc models is cause you can actually feel the heat cause of the unibody... 2) the sammys are all plastic, which doesnt conduct heat too well, so although its getting hot inside, you dont feel it. they both prob run at close if not the same temps, but you can just notice it more on the htc... thats all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
That is definitely understandable. If I have to sacrifice design just so I can be able to hold/use my phone comfortably then you know exactly where I'm headed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Enzopreme:
mine doesnt get that hot at all. my sensation did, i would go as far as to maybe say its gets warm... definitely not hot... whoever says its almost too hot to touch is either exaggerating or has no skin on their damn hands. lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
