I took off the original, which was scratched after about a week. And Installed a Protec protector so far so good. It still has a hole for the front Camera which I can't understand, this is one part of the screen you don't want to scratch. but at least it is punched and not cut out from the top edge like some I've seen for sale. If anyone knows of any with only a hole for the earpiece let me know. I think the replacement that came with the phone looks ugly as it does not cover the whole of the screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
Sigh,remember the pre-installed one is NOT a screen protector. You are supposed to put a screen protector on top of it. This is what Sony has to say about the confusion:

The scratch resistant screen is covered in a non-scratch resistant anti-shatter laminate sheet that will reduce the likelihood of the screen cracking or shattering. This is NOT the top layer intended as the laminate sheet is very easily scratched and attracts lots of dust and fingerprints. You are then supposed to put a screen protector over this laminate sheet which will do a much better job of resisting dirt, fingerprints and scratches than the laminate sheet. One is included in the Xperia packaging in unbranded models. The preinstalled laminate sheet is glued down. It can come off but it will leave a glue residue on the screen that is not easy to get off. The second layer screen protector included with unbranded models just bonds through natural static adhesion onto the laminate sheet rather than a glue.

The laminate sheet can not be replaced on its own after removal from the screen. The laminate sheet is bonded to the screen with heat as part of the production process in order to properly fuse to the glass and give it its anti-shatter properties. The laminate sheet is not sold on its own as a part and the only way to replace a damaged or removed laminate sheet is to replace the entire front screen glass panel assembly. As such Sony highly recommends you immediatly install the screen protector included with direct from Sony unbranded Xperia models or purchase a commercially available screen protector for carrier branded units.

Thanks for the extra info

If only every unbranded Xperia S came with a screen protector in the box... and some information about this too.

Even though I still have my non-scratch resistant anti-shatter laminate sheet on.

Why didn't they do anything with Gorilla glass or Asahi Dragontail Glass

My three dots r very unresponsive..wat shd i do??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaizokan:
I dont think this has alot to do with your screen protector, its just how Sony made it...

- press a little above the dots (the dots are not really the sensitive part)

- try pressing wit a larger surface of your finger, not ony a small point

- swipe up

The factory installed piece is a shatter proof sheet, but it is not needed in my opinion. I have removed mine and compared it to the one supplied in the box and they are identical except the shatter proof shield is a tiny bit thicker.

Check this post out http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/194586

Secondly the shatter proof shield sucks for responsiveness. It is one of the main reasons the capacitive buttons aren't very responsive.

Also you can get replacement shatter proof sheets if you call Sony support

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/197412

Basically I believe the shatter proof sheet to be worthless because even though it will protect the screen it gets scratched easily and reduces responsiveness.

Who in the right mind would want to install another screen protector on top of it and make it even less responsive. If you want a screen protector remove the shatter proof sheet and put it on. If you drop the phone and it lands on a hard surface on the edges chances are the shatter proof sheet wouldn't have done a damn thing to help anyways. Also the shatter proof sheet creates a hard sharp edge near the translucent strip that annoys me quite a lot. It makes the phone feel cheaper like there is non flush edges due to shoddy construction.

Just my two-cents but I did research this.

I also created a thread listing the pros and cons of removing it.

Here's another thread listing about the shatter proof sheet.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/175150

Shatterproof is a stretch because I have seen many Xperia S posts about how their screen has shattered. A little piece of laminate is not going to help. There is even a thread about a guy who had the screen facing outward in his pants and bumped into a table which shattered the screen. Another guy dropped his 2 feet onto concrete, it hit the edge and shattered the screen. So what is the Shatter Proof sheet even good for? Now you tell me if the Shatter-Proof sheet is really Shatter-Proof. I say marketing.

I have seen more shattered iPhones and HTC Evos than any other phones (I work at a university and see people struggling along using a shattered screen). Both are made out of Gorilla Glass which is another item claiming to be shatter proof.

If you replace your screen it comes glued to a new digitizer anyways, so what good is protecting the digitizer beyond being able to use your phone with a cracked screen. I've had old windows mobile screens crack and they didn't have a protector or gorilla glass and they still worked fine even with resistive tech which is more fragile than capacitive.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
WRONG. You CANNOT get replacment sheets on their own, in that thread they are referring to the screen protector that comes bundled in the box, NOT the pre-applied shatter proof laminate sheet. The ONLY way to replace the shatter proof sheet is to replace the ENTIRE screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I called Sony support and asked because I was curious. He wasn't sure but said they could probably order one. Maybe he was wrong though as Sony support sometimes gives conflicting messages. Do you have a link for your info on how it can only be preinstalled. I find that hard to believe.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] viiv:
Sony says the laminate sheet is applied to the screen using heat to properly bond it to the screen thus why it isnt available by itself.

Besides I have the Xperia S service manual which has a listing of ALL parts and the sheet isn't available as a stand alone part. If its not listed independantly in the service manual, it is NOT available on its own.

The support guy was confused, if they ever make reference to it being avaiable on its own they are ALWAYS mistaken and are actually refering to the screen protector that comes bundled in the box.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaizokan:
Thanks for your post

I thought the preinstalled sheet was just to keep the shatterd pieces together...:)

But i guess the responsiveness issue is not caused by the sheet, if removing it still does not work perfect (only a little better), or does it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
That's what I think, keep the pieces together. It makes the screen more responsive after removing it, I am 100 percent positive on that in my experience.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] craga2012:
Sorry to revive an old thread. Out of curiousity, if I ever decided to remove the sheet, what is the best/safest way to remove the glue that no doubt remains after removing it? Been thinking of taking the sheet off myself...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
The glue comes.off easily.

If not, wipe with some LCD wet wipes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] craga2012:
Cheers. I have some microfiber cloths and windolene glass cleaner laying around so that should do the trick :)

Sorry to revive an old thread. Out of curiosity; i wonder if Xperia P is different from the S when it comes to these things.

The included screen protector was crap, honestly.

After using the XP for a few hours, it's really smooth and the response is close to perfect. I have also not seen the "dust magnet" effect yet.

I wouldn't remove the preinstalled sheet as there is literally no point in doing that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dSayonarab:
I really regretted taking the shatterproof sheet off my first Xperia S, the glass just did not feel slick and swipeable afterwards and was constantly a horrible smudgy mess (yes, I took off the glue too), especially compared to my Arc which still had the shatterproof sheet installed when I picked it up. That shatterproof sheet is staying firmly attached to my second SXS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
The glass is very smooth.

You didn't take off the glue completely.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ferbuffer:
I thought my SOLA is not scratch proof but I one day I saw that it has a screen protector that's why It has scratch. I wanna remove it but I'm afraid that it will damage the real screen or maybe it stick so hard that I will mess my screen up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Just carefully remove it with your fingers. You should be fine. Use some rubbing alcohol or goo gone to remove the glue residue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paul1508:
I just bought a Xperia U and want to know if there is the same thing with the pre installed screen protector?

Is there anyone who removed the pre installed protector completly and is happy with the blank screen? I don't really think the screen will shatter but maybe take scratches, and the blank screen may be better than the pre installed protector!?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
I can't take credit for any of the work here, I just modded the framework-res.apk and twframework.apk so that I could use the standard Gingerbread sliding tab lockscreen on my favorite ROM GingerClone. Thanks goes out to the Platypus Dev Team and everyone else involved in making this. The KJ2 Locks Mod does in fact work on GingerClone AS WELL AS OTHER ROMS, but it replaces a large portion of the theming elements of the UI with the ones from Glorious Overdose. I fixed this by modding the frameworks.

Call me crazy, but I'm a big fan of the standard Gingerbread interface, even on my old phone running CM7, I used the standard theme.

***BUGS***

-- Landscape tabs don't match portrait tabs

The only thing I've noticed so far is that the landscape lockscreen tabs do not match the portrait lockscreen tabs, but since the phone screen needs to be OPEN and locked for you to ever see this screen it shouldn't be a big deal. I've torn through the res files and can't seem to find the landscape lock tabs, so unless they're not images and are actually hard coded, I can't figure out where they're at. Maybe the dev could point me in the right direction?

Once again, I can't take credit for ANY of this. I just modded the work created by other people.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
Thanks man! So I'm assuming we have to flash this? And how are you getting a 2300+ score on quadrant? I tried tegrak and even at 1.1 it was freezing up my phone and doing the 1vib followed by 3vib when it didn't freeze it up.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
try 1.2, that normally is pretty solid.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
See I tried 1.2 but it froze even faster, and that's why I tried to downgrade to the 1.1
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
My q score suprised me too! First of all, it's the ROM. GingerClone is the only fully de-touchwized ROM available currently and it amazes me how well this device performs on a close to vanilla Android OS (especially for Froyo! I can only imagine that this phone would FLY with Gingerbread or ICS)

I OC'd using Tegrak to 1.125Ghz. Any higher and the system locks up on my phone regardless of ROM or kernel, but if I buy the full version of the app, I'm pretty sure I could get at least 1.4Ghz with overvolt. In the past I've noticed that especially refurbished phones can have issues with overclocking. My first LG Optimus could EASILY overclock up to 800+ Mhz stable, but I bricked it and the replacement they sent me was a refurb that couldn't handle more than 730Mhz and be stable.

But the real magic lies in using the latest version of V6 supercharger. I set mine to Aggressive 2. I had to run Quadrant a couple of times because I thought it was a glitch or a fluke the first time it broke 2000.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
yeah, I forgot to mention that (figured it was self explanatory). You flash it in recovery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
I just flashed GingerCloneV2, I have not overclocked or supercharged, and my quadrant score was 2025. I ran it twice to be sure it wasnt a fluke. My phone has never even approached 2000 before. The highest score I have gotten prior to GC was 1695. This rom is crazy fast. Never would have imagined a rom based on kd1 could be this fast, considering the fact that supposedly kj2 is the most stable. I just flashed this, so I cant say if this rom is stable or not yet, but I hope it is. If it stays this fast AND its stable, then I wont even worry about overclock or supercharge.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
yea same here, ran quadrant on stock gingerclone and got a 1950 and was like "whaaaaaat" its pretty awesome.

have tried supercharging it, with update 9 (and maybe thats where i'm going wrong), and after about an hour it begins to do the 1 buzz followed by 3 quickfire buzzes endlessly, and i'm forced to reinstall Gingerclone. do you guys think its because i should use update 8 for supercharger? its still blindingly fast though

edit: oh and i was wondering if there was some way to take that stupid "update social network" thing from the notification bar with this lockscreen mod? because it takes away the option under the display portion of the settings.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
Thanks for the heads up on the lockscreen mod disabling the social status thing. Personally, I always left it on because when you turn it off you lose your power widgets in the drop down too. I know there are widgets that do the same thing, but aside from my launcher and the Google search widget I leave my desktop clean.

I'll have to look into the original framework from gingerclone and merge some of the code with the one from the lockscreen mod. I have some exams to study for this week, but I'll try to get around to it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
assuming you're running the free version of Tegrak which only changes CPU clock, for the majority of SK4G phones running at 1.2Ghz will actually result in a net loss in performance over 1.1Ghz. Without upping the voltage along with the clock speed, the processor actually begins to encounter errors.

I run into the same thing on my PC. I can safely overclock to 3.0Ghz, and I'm more than capable of overclocking to 3.2, but performance rapidly degrades any higher than 3.01 Ghz without overvolting. At 3.0Ghz, my Geekbench score is around 6500, whereas at 3.02 it falls to under 3000, and at 3.2 it's at about 1200 (if you've never used Geekbench it uses a baseline score of 1000 which is equal to a 2005 PowerMac G5 dual core, and doubling the score means doubling the performance).

If I bump the voltage up from 1.25 to 1.3v, I can overclock even higher than 3.2Ghz, but my computer doesn't have adequate cooling for that and it overheats within about 5 minutes.

So as you can see, faster clock speed doesn't necessarily equate to having a faster phone, the exact opposite can be true. Overvolting would most definitely result in a performance spike, but keep in mind that there IS NO COOLING on a cell phone, not even a heat sink. Excessive heat can very rapidly damage your phone or even break it. Another thing to consider is that not all silicon is created equal especially when you're talking about CPUs.

Look at Intel for example, they sell the EXACT SAME cpu set at different clock speeds as a Celeron, Core2duo and Core2Extreme based on how the individual chip performed on a bench test. This is why overclocking is actually possible. sometimes you get lucky with a well manufactured CPU, and sometimes you end up with a dud that can barely perform at the clock speed it's rated at.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
alright, cool. its not a make or break thing for me, i dont mind it that much. but thanks for even saying you'll try!

When you first setup your new Cyanogen Installation, it allows you to set up your account and then it takes you to a screen where you can download the apps in the google apps package. It's like it restricts your market to only google related apps.

[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Not sure about sense account. If you are running a custom ROM CIQ has been disabled and other monitoring software that are needed to activate sense so it's hit or miss.

Yes you can install a ROM with Sense 3.5, there are a couple in the dev section. Go to the forum for your device CDMA or GSM download and flash via recovery.

If all that sounds foreign to you :), go to the forum and read about how to install custom ROMs on your phone. There are lots of threads dedicated to teaching you this. It's pretty straightforward if you read.

As I downloaded it and install, at about half of the installation process, my screen gives out an Android Logo with a triangle and a "!" in it. It means that I failed the installation right?

Besides FOTA update, is there anyway for me to update my Aria? I've searched all over the web and all the answers I get is for the AT&T version. I don't think the AT&T update files are compatible to the South East Asia Aria.
