I think what the o.p is talking about is if you carefully look at the screen's glass near the the edge of the outer most buttons of the three at the bottom.. you will notice the glass has a layer over it that stops just a millimeter short of the edge of the glass.. now I haven't tried removing it.. but it is very odd to say the least..

you should have ordered at amazon.de .. ;) (1 on +2 in the box)

but who cares .. there were some operators that put a MW600 in the box .. :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
It's been three days since removing the protector and so far no marks, I always keep my phone in my trouser pocket with screen faced towards my leg (don't have a case yet). I have also noticed an improvement while using the screen.

Will report back in on Thursday when it's been a week without the protector.
[XPERIA X10 General] Niceties:
jesus! I can't get mine off!!!

I don't want to use anything sharper than my fingernail really cos I'm BOUND to slip and put a 2 inch, jagged gash in the screen if I do!!!

any tips??? my fingernails are coming off :(
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
I just worked at a corner with ym finger nail for a minute or two, did the trick.
[XPERIA X10 General] Niceties:
woo! did it!

I cant believe how thick & rigid the protector was ....

no wonder it feels much better without it!

#UPDATE# Protector Removal Update

Hey there,

Right, I have had absolutely no problems after removing my protector just over two weeks ago. The screen is definitely more responsive to touch from both your finger pads and tips (and nose if anyone wanted to know...). It has picked up no scratches at all (and I work in a really dusty warehouse) and the screen is just as easy to clean. I'm obviously going to say that you remove your protector at your own risk: I won't be liable for your scratches!!!

For those of you that have issues with the keyboard missing letters, I would most certainly recommend you install the following HTC_IME keyboard (download the clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk files from your phone's browser and install. Simple!)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

It is waaaaay better. No more missed letters!!!

Hey guys, had my X10 since Friday and left that screen protector on and have noticed a few scratches on it now. All of the scratches cant be seen indoors but in the sun/under halogens they are noticeable. The phone is ALWAYS in a case and is always cleaned gently with a microfiber cloth. Nothing has ever hit the screen either. I assume its just dust and my finger swiping that is causing it. Perhaps the preapplied protector is prone to scratches and when taken off the glass being much harder, resists them better? Anyone ale have similar results?
[XPERIA X10 General] ToastyJustice:
Has anyone had any noticeable issue with dust? I've had my X10 for only 3 days and there's already a spec of dust underneath the screen (and not behind the protector, upon inspection it actually seems to be down under the glass somehow. I've certainly not been in any dusty conditions, it's been in my pocket and my desk. If this is going to happen after such a short time, I'd hate to think what it's going to be like months from now. Think it's just a defect with mine?

handwriting recognition after removing the screen protector?

I tried installing handwriting recognition for sms, but removed it because it the screen wasn't responsive enough. I could only write a letter if i pushed down with my finger and not just with the tip. This is the same in gesture search which isnt so bad as you are only typing a couple of letters.

I've always had handwriting recognition since my SE P800 then P900 & X1. and it has always been really easy to use and responsive. was quite dissapointed that the X10 didnt have it as a standard feature for SMS out the box. Typing out msgs is a pain. Also tried the upgrade to the HTC keyboard which was better, but it says that after installing it, it could copy your passwords etc. So not to keen on using it.

Has anyone tried any handwriting recognition apps after removing the screen protector?

Edit: Started a new thread for handwriting recognition http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667094
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
I had the same problem.

My Smartphone History was: Ericsson R380e --> SE P800 --> SE P900 --> SE P910i --> P990.

Each of them had a great Handwriting Recognition.

Then I made a few mistakes --> M600i --> P1i and worst of all: Satio.

So i gave all my hope to the X10.

You know what happened.

At the moment I use the "ThickButton" App from the market.

For me much better than HTCs Keyboard.
[XPERIA X10 General] muzzytt:
I noticed a hairline scratch on my x10 thats when I thaught there was a protector and this thread confirmed it ! so I took it off and the screen is so much clearer and more responsive ! I know cause i had the nexus one and it was much smoother than the x10 now the x10 felels just as smooth !
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
The only thing missing now is "the scratch test" without the protector:D
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
Well I've been going for nearly a week, no protector, not case, just the phone in my trouser pocket and so far no marks at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
Even when looked at under direct sunlight? Thats pretty impressive.
[XPERIA X10 General] RoleX1:
I'm rockin a screen protector over the pre-applied screen protector.. and I havent yet noted even the slightest problem with unresponsiveness...

Its as good as my Iphone 3gs and Htc Hd2 are without a screen protector, so these unresponsiveness issues for me are unfounded.

(ofcourse I applied the second screen protector within the first 10 minutes of owning the phone, when it wasnt confirmed that the screen had already come with one pre-applied)
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
Heh! I did the same and completely messed up applying it and ended up throwing it away. I was more than happy to learn there was already one applied!

I got mine from Rogers as well but I only had the bubbly film on top of the installed screen protector. There wasn't an extra one in the box. Did you get the black or white one?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X10 General] muzzytt:
I only had one applied from SE no other extra in the box. I took off the allready applied screen protector off.

Although I did feel the screen was more responsive it also seems to get more dirty and when I clean it thoroughly the screen feels to hard to slide finger accross it !

I think Se went the cheap option with its screen not only did they get the cheapest touchscreen with no MT DT they also seem to have got the cheapest glass that was not very good so they whacked a screen protector on it from factory.

they didnt do this because they love us they did it to mask a problem , no big company will spend 1c extra if they dont have to...
[XPERIA X10 General] QuadESL63:
My Rogers one (bought from BestBuy) didn't come with an extra screen protector :(
[XPERIA X10 General] daeshawn:
not sure why i got an extra one in the box. I got the black one ordered via customer service/sales
[XPERIA X10 General] samygent:
I agree , I just removed mine , it way much more responsive , just a little bit more brighter but it get way much more dirty then before

Anyway I don't really care because I'm gonna bring this one back and get the white one :D
[XPERIA X10 General] WunKrazyAzn:
i just got mine today at the store.. dont see any extra films either
[XPERIA X10 General] Maedhros:
No extra one for me either.

Did anyone who ordered through customer relations try and get the MW600?
[XPERIA X10 General] Diamond777:
I placed the phone in my pocket and noticed I had a coin pouch inside, in a matter of seconds the screen was scratched!!!

Luckily I took off the factory screen protector and now it is shinny again!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
You removed a part of the screen, which is shatter proof film, it's not a screen protector, it is a part of the screen. I find it funny people remove something and then complain about how the screen feels after they've altered it! SE has the best screen of any phone I have seen, I can use it in direct sunlight which is simply fantastic.
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
Hi

To all those of you that have removed the pre installed protector (shutter proof sheet).

Have anyone got any scratches?
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
It's been nearly two weeks since I took of the protective screen and there is (touch wood) no scratches on the screen/phone at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
Do you carry it in your trouser pocket?
[XPERIA X10 General] Niceties:
I took mine off a couple of weeks ago. it felt more responsive without it but didnt feel too smooth under my finger ... I bought a screen protector for it (properly cut to size) and it feels brilliant now! Probably because the screen protector I bought is about a third of the thickness of the shatter proof film (seriously ... the shatter proof film is really thick and I think it was a bit cheap & nasty of SE to make the screen in this way!!!)

my screen feels just as good as an iphones now (and it was way off that when I took it out of the box)

FYI ... this is the screen protector that I bought hxxp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003CKE1TQ/ref=oss_product
[XPERIA X10 General] jojosplace:
Trouser pocket with the screen facing toward my leg.

I don't have any casing (hopefully this will change next week), just the phone in my pocket.

I've now just installed a new screen protector (bought this) and haven't noticed any change in the touch screen (still better than the one that Sony Ericcson had stuck on).
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
Hi

Still no scratches for you guys who have removed the factory applied screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 General] mhnajjar:
Is it possible to reapply the original screen protector after removing it?

Somehow, I got one dust particle under the originally preapplied screen protector and it is annoying me and would like to know if it is possible to force it out (since it is on the right side of the screen) without having to remove the protector.

Thanks in advance :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
My X10 has an insane amount of micro scratches! And I only have the "preinstalled" screen protector! Not really sure about removing it though. We'll see. I got one extra screen protector and an MW600 out of the box. :P
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
I took my factory film off after reading that is is more sensitive without, it is but it also is more grippy on dirty fingers so i didnt like it at 1st. The factory film is very slippy and more dirty finger friendly.

When I was away from work and had clean hands for a couple of weeks it was fine, nice and slippy and sensitive with clean fingers.

I test scratched it with the bottom of a mug of coffee and it can scratch but after 3 weeks without protector there is no more scratches other than my test scratches and I keep it in pockets with keys and coins !!

My phones are work tools for me and I dont mind then getting spoilt, Ive dropped it a few times and it has a few small dents around the edges.

Ive gotten used to the grippy feel of the glass and try to wipe my fingers before using it which helps.

Id say take it off for a more responsive touch but be prepared to reapply an aftermarket thinner film if you need.

Log :)
[XPERIA X10 General] mhnajjar:
Loggy, isn't it possible to reapply the original protective film?

Can you provide us with some photos of your dented X10? :eek:

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] zerophrame:
I removed the factory sheet and installed a Martin Fields screen protector.

Sensitivity is down a bit, but it's got a much nicer feel to it.

It's a tough call, but if I had to do it again...i'd just leave the original on until it got scratched up.
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
The factory film is very stiff and distorts when removing and the adhesive gets pulled so it couldn't really be reused satisfactorily.

Damage !!...
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
Did you use your phone as a hammar:eek:

The screen is withouth scratches?
[XPERIA X10 General] mhnajjar:
Ouch!

Are those burn marks? :eek:

It is amazing how that phone is still working and the screen isn't cracked yet :D
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
Not burn marks just 'hit the concrete floor' marks :o

It seems to me the screen is pretty scratch resistant, only marking if

something harder than glass contacts it ie; grinding materials, diamond tip tools, stone and ceramics, (coffee mug test !!).

I imagine the screen would break if it hit the floor at the right angle and I was lucky it didnt.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] roanmy:
I have the X10 bought in Norway (Nordic version), does this mean that because I applied the screen protector supplied in the box on the phone, I now have two screen protectors and should have saved it? Or was I right to put it on and the first one is only scratch-resistance thingy?

=)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cryson:
My white X10 has a screen protector on it at stock.

So is there really glass under that, like the iPhone?

I thought, it's a plastic screen. Glass feels much better in hand.

Great, protector is off. Display feels much better now. Like it.

Oh, i removed the one installed by SE before installing the zagg shield.

Noe it seems better ... at least in terms of sensitivity. I have to see how good it is against fingerprints.
[XPERIA X10 General] mhnajjar:
No drop test or scratch test for the X10 yet?
[XPERIA X10 General] brodos123:
Yes people have different opinions:)

I am against screen protectors I have used it on previous devices and they make the phone look cheap.

I have not yet removed the pre applied protector, but considering removing it. If anyone have seen the scratch test on nexus one, it should not be nessesary.
[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:

Really? I take the utmost care of my phone and i have some scratches on my phone (with the preapplied protector) that can be seen when under lights inside (like halogens) or outside in direct sunlight but not really otherwise.

Can you confirm that the scratches cant be seen even in direct sunlight or inside under halogens?

I have the white X10 and there is some fiber that got stock in between the pre-applied screen protector and the edge of the screen. Does anyone know how to clean this without having to remove the screen protector?

Thanks :)

Was wondering why SE did not inform us about the pre-applied protective film as I have paste the screen protector provided in the box over the factory fitted one. What a waste!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
They did inform about it if you read the specs online, it says shutterproof sheat on mineral glass.

-------------------------------------

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] bencys:
But it is not explicit enough to understand that there is already a factory fitted SP, so don't paste another one over it. Because an extra one is given in the box, this makes it even more misleading.

I bet there are lots of people out there who are not aware and have paid good money to paste e.g. a matte SP over the factory fitted SP. So basically, the matte SP is protecting another SP (factory fitted). Isn't it a waste? It is not serving its intended purpose i.e. to protect the glass and not another SP.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
The one that comes from the factory should only be a protective screen film for packaging, not for daily use. It wont survive very long with daily usage.

If there is an actual screen protector applied then "someone" has had the device before you and applied it. That screen protector should be in the box ready for you to apply.
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
Nope.. There is a pre-applied screen protector _and_ a transport protection (bubbly, ugly and scratched).. When you remove the transport-protective plastics you can still see along the edges another protector, very nicely fitted from factory.

And an extra protector in the box.

One rubber is enough in most cases.. ;)

[XPERIA X10 General] Xstarz:
jep, just like mine. but i did know this before i buy my device and so i have just an extra one
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I dont want to argue with you and i agree they should speak more clearly about this, i checked and u can not find the info on SE's hp now. Though i dont think SE ever meant it should be replaced, but that you actually should protect that one aswell, i did remove mine though and it's mounted on there reaally hard, but i totally messed mine up so i had to take it of and replace with a regular one.

Hi,

I have tried to set ringtone files properties as hidden to prevent them being searched in media library, but it seems that sometime the system setting will change back to default ringtone as the mp3 files cannot be searched.

Thus i wonder is there any method to hide mp3 ringtones being searched in library, but still can be found by system, like .nomedia in android...

Thx~~

[HD2 General] deckoff:

[HD2 General] Archange1:
There is no way; even contacting HTC, they just said to add all the songs you want to listen to to a freakin' playlist.

What I did to minimise things was set the ID3 tags for all the ringtones to be by a band called 'ringtones', in a 'ringtones' album. At least this way it prevents the ringtones from being listed under the original album/artist.
[HD2 General] MAD_Matt:
SOLVED

Use total commander or resco file explorer, set the folder with your ringtones or any other folder you don't want to have in your player to hidden. Take out your SD card, restart your phone, select the music tab, it should say no music found, unless you have files on the phone you want picked up by it, put your SD card back in, and restart again. select the music tab. This WORKED for me, hopefully it will work for everyone else.
