I read that the Sensation has a Gorilla Glass screen, wondering if the 3D has it as well. My Vibrant has it, and it's very good at resisting scratches.
Any news?
Yes it comes with it
There are actually others that are better but don't get the press that the primate gets... Anyway, my Evo never got a scratch... And I'm pretty rough on it.
Well I've read a lot that the sensation has it. Maybe hatch couldn't use it because ofcthe 3d?
Oh well. This phone is still going to be awesome.

Probably... on the gorilla glass site they have pretty much every phone that has been released from htc under the currently used devices section
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App
The answer is yes according to specs released on the web.
*Yelling* - RELEASE THIS PHONE ALREADY!!!!
Scratches are minor details and if you don't want them, get a cover.
I think pretty much any top of the line smartphone that has a glass screen, is going to be gorilla glass. If you go on their website it lists pretty much every brand under the sun. Including majority of htc phones. I have an hd2 and it says mine is gorilla glass. Never knew that.
sorry that I refresh old topic but still do not know. There is many conflicting informations. now, when phone is out already can somebody cofirme does HTC EVO 3D has gor gorilla glass or not?
According to some people... yes. (only because other HTC devices have it...)
According to HTC... no.
According to Corning... no idea.
According to Sprint... no idea.
I've posted the screenshot from HTC to me before where they say that the EVO 3D is not listed for having Gorilla Glass. It's floating around the forum in two places actually.
According to the Sprint rep who sold me my 3VO... no.
He appeared rather knowledgeable, and another customer there that morning told me my rep had been at that store for years. I told the rep my Hero came with Gorilla Glass and he was surprised, but he was confident the 3VO doesn't have it.
wow...who would have ever known!?

Maybe they just haven't updated their website to reflect the EVO 3D.
I was told by the Sprint rep when I bought mine that it didn't, and I should get a screen protector immediately to avoid getting scratches. I'm not going to test it out to see if it is or isn't. Anyone care to give it a shot?

Can anyone confirm that the Vibrant indeed does or does not have Gorilla Glass by Corning?
I am getting conflicting information.
Thanks

BTW: If it does indeed have it is there really a need for a screen protector?

That's what I was thinking....
Have one you recommend?
Corning put out a press release last year stating that they'd picked up Samsung as a customer for Gorilla Glass® for their touch screen phones. All the Galaxy S series phones have Gorilla Glass®. Even the craptastic Behold II had it. The story is the same for basically all Motorola phones too, though I'm not sure about HTC (at least I've not seen anything official).
Corning Supplies Samsung Electronics with Gorilla™ Glass for Touch Screen Mobile Phones
Granted if you look at Corning's device list the Galaxy S series phones are not listed, but you can also notice the list itself is obviously fairly old.
Corning has the contract for Samsung, this much we know.
After watching some of the videos on youtube, I am not too worried. However, some on here have stated they received minor scratches, but none of those posts indicated WHAT they did to their phone that would cause a scratch.... the videos on youtube could make you cry though and only the box cutter caused scratches from what I could tell.

You should check out a thread in the Vibrant accessories thread on XDA, multiple pages about screen protectors. I just installed my invisibleshield and after trying it out will put an update in that thread. Some people say the invisibleshield makes swyping hard. The others recommended are Clearfreak and Reallook, although the latter seems to be what people are swaying towards now.

I also use zagg. Works great for me, but I've been a zagg fan for a while. Isn't hard to swype for ne.
^^^ is that list outdated or something? I would assume ours, and the droid X have gorilla.
^ Zagg is a personal preference... I for one ripped it off my phone is disgust, felt way way too rubbery (hard to swype)
I'm waiting on the Reallook to arrive and can post results, the T-Mobile one was not good at all with the matte finish.
My phone was sitting on a wooden bench, and as we all know this phone is crazy slippery. On its own, it slid off the bench into the dirt below (about a 3ft drop). I now have what I would call a chip on the screen, not a scratch. So if we do have gorilla glass, it doesn't do ****. Imma order a screen protector on payday. Also it may be my imagination but I'm pretty sure the chip is getting bigger. I'm sure I'm just tripping balls though.

I highly doubt that this phone has gorilla glass. I put it in my pocket a couple times with the included earbuds and got a couple scratches as a result, one of which is visible when the screen is in use.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The glass isn't necessarily the top surface. From what I was reading about the stuff they often use other layers. That means if we do have gorilla glass the screen may still scratch, it will just be harder to break.
i think that list is out dated because it doesn't say anything about the dell streak and that defo got the gorilla glass
Crazy to hear people saying EAR BUDS are causing scratches.... that is NOT what I viewed when I saw an Asian dude ripping a screw into the screen with no scratches.
Doesn't make sense... I'm not doubting someone on here, but I am not experiencing that and the phone has taken a LOT worse on videos you can watch.
I can say this much atleast lol earbuds definately would not scratch the screen, my girlfriend got her Vibrant at a Samsung training event a few weeks ago, and I watched her attempt to scratch the **** out of her screen with her keys. not a single scratch on it, I was impressed.
I wonder if adding a screen protector to the Evo 3D will cause issues with viewing 3D pictures/videos/movies. Maybe not, but still something to think about...

I never understood screen protectors... I've had a release day HeroC and never had any screen issues. (Same with ol' wifey)
IMO, screen protectors look okay for a week or two then either come off at the corners or have small circles of non-contact. Either way, I think they aren't necessary and may even decrease touch screen sensitivity.
IMO, they obviously have thought of screen protection in the building of the phones. But I guess if you like the belt-&-suspenders look by all means play on, Playa.
EDIT- we also have two daughters that tinker with the phones with who knows what all over their little hands. Still no screen problems ever.

I'm not looking to get one of the cheap ones. I'll be getting one with the anti-glare that doesn't leave finger prints and what not. I just know it's a little different, and I wonder if it will cause issues. We'll just have to wait and see. Either way, I can use my phone without a screen protector. Been doing it for years, but I'd like to invest in a nice anti-glare cover.
My dog just knocked my brand new photon out of my hand and the screen shattered !

Suck dude, that just HURTS to see!
Dude, that totally sucks. I'm sorry to hear about this but it is indeed made with gorilla glass. GG is not shatter proof it merely is tougher to resist scratches minor impacts. Hope you at lease have TEP on it. Then again anyone with a glass faces smartphone should have TEP. Good luck with a replacement!
Ya, my evo had gorilla glass and did the same thing.
Loving this Mopho!
I agree, that just hurts seeing that.
Hope you get a replacement soon.
TS
Sorry man! It happens when we least expect it. That's what TEP is for. Hopefully you have it, if not you better hurry up and sign up for it at your local corporate Sprint store or you can call Sprint. Otherwise get your checkbook out and get ready to pay full retail or get the screen replaced if the phone still works.
Yeah its funny when I see ppl say "OMG its not gorilla glass because I dropped it and it shattered". Gorilla glass means that it resists scratches and able to protect it against some minor impacts.
There isn't a phone or tablet out there that can survive a fall from like an apt building. Word of advice, get a case next time on your phone and a screen protector.
yeah i have the tep but i was thinking maybe warranty it since it's less than a week. The fall was less than a foot. oh well we will see what they say and i will let you guys know what happens. What pisses me off is it is going to take forever to get my apps back on it. Just the outter glass shattered I wish they could just replace the glass.
GG isn't about avoiding impacts/shattering. It's about avoiding scuffs and scratches to the screen's surface. We need Corning or 3M or somebody to come up with "FUBAR-resistant" screen protection. That would super-groovy!
EDIT -- Hopefully the good folks over at cnn.cn will provide us Photon nerds with some replacements components soon.
Less than a foot? Did it land on a diamond spike?

So I think A: You should be able to still enroll for TEP insurance if its within the 30 days, B: I also think it's open enrollment so if you dont have it, call in and have them add it don't mention the screen, then call back in a couple days and file a claim. Keep in mind i think it's insurance fraud but more power to ya!

lol, not to be rude, but why does everyone think that just because it's "unbreakable" means it won't break, everything breaks no matter what you try to do it.....except a cockroach....now if only we could make so type of material....*back to the lab*
^ this is true. I knew that the EVO had Gorilla glass because I saw one or two videos with some guy attempting to scratch it with his keys and there was no damage, but I also heard that its not like other Gorilla glass devices and proof of that is that when my EVO fell to the ground and got destroyed in a million pieces, the replacement phone no less than a few days of getting it got a nice 1 inch curved scratch on the glass when I forgot to take my keys out of my pocket and placed the phone in there.
Hopefully the Gorilla Glass on the Photon is of better quality. Regardless, don't let it fall to the ground.

I've only had the Photon for 24 hours but I'm loving it. I'm pretty sure if you drop this phone it's going to shatter your screen. So hold in tight guys. Is there some sort of option for auto correct on the Photon keyboard?

HTC, during a 5-6 email correspondence with me evaded my question but when pressed admitted the Amaze doesn't have GG, but they would not say what they used. Maybe Dragontrail? Maybe something really cheap? They said it was to save money for the consumer but then why do they charge more than Samsung does for the Galaxy SII that DOES have GG?

If you actually read what gorilla glass is all about you'll see that it is designed to be harder to scratch, not harder to shatter. There's a big difference.

GG is still glass. It's supposed to be just a tad bit stronger and scrach resistant that regular glass. In the end, it's still glass.
So I have a shattered screen on my HTC Evo LTE. (finally after about 6 drops on concrete)
I am more then happy to try and replace it myself. While looking the internet over it looks as if the HTC One X's screen is similar if not identical to the LTEvo. Is this true? When I look on Amazon for the screen I find that most of the screens fit say HTC One X/HTC Evo 4G LTE.
I just wanted to make sure first before I make a purchase! Thank all.
If anyone has pointers, please feel free to chime in!!!
PS the screen and phone still works, it is just the outer glass that broke, so I am not in a hurry and am doing my research.
They are very tough to find at the moment from most suppliers. I know there are some on ebay here and there. I know someone with a few, but more so a private vendor.
I would not get a one x screen, you never know if any of the flex cables are different and be a useless purchase.
Thanks! I will keep on researching.
http://youtu.be/7F_uMEPJgHs
Oh man, not a fun shatter. The first week the SIII came out, we had 4 people bring them in to get fixed, the screen alone is around 250 at least if you can find it.
Screen protectors are slightly different between the 2 and u can notice the difference. The LTEVO is more square so u need one made for the evo 4G ltenot the one x
There are some people on xd a that'll sell them. Got mine for $60. Just learn how to install it before you break your phone.

I recently had the same experience. I ordered an allegedly OEM digitizer+LCD assembly from etradesupply (around $110) and had it installed by a local shop. Unfortunately, it's not perfect. Dust has gotten under the screen, the digitizer seems less sensitive, it attracts more fingerprints/smudges, and I've just noticed a stuck pixel. I wish I would've paid extra and gone with an official HTC repair.
I bought a replacement non OEM LCD from amazon for 55$ its better than original. I installed it my self and reused the digitizer. I am very happy with results, plus I don't think I could have done it for less $.
