I searched through xda but didn't see anything regarding privacy screen for the x10. I bought one on amazon couple weeks ago, turned out it was too thick to sense any touch. I was just wondering if anyone using a privacy screen?
Yes sir, I am, and I havent had any touch problems. I love the way it feels, its not glossy and just gives my white x10i a nice look.
I got it from this ebay store: http://stores.ebay.ca/Accessory-Export?_trksid=p4340.l2563
It was like 8 bucks
Thanks freddy. I bought the same one when they had it on amazon. Do you know if your phone still has that Stock screen protector? I wonder if that makes the difference. I couldn't swipe or press anything
i've been trying to get one as well. any idea where i can get one?
Honestly, I havent a clue. The one that came in the box, I took it off and put it on, then I took it off then put this one on. I havent removed anything else.
i tried before
I work in a accesory store... we have that screen protectors, they look so nice... I haven't tried with my x10 because I used that screen protector with my omnia... (resistive) and i had to press hard... so after 3 o 4 months I had to buy another touch panel for my omnia... X I've changed myself... now it works so good... so... I haven't tried with the X10 because i think that de capacitive touch could get worst.... anybody can take me out of my mistake??
i had one and it just became a annoying cause my screen did not like it
I tried to use one on my beloed X10
but the thing is, it makes the screen sooooooo dim and i have to set the brightness at FULL! and the battery drains like hell!
back to the transparent screen protector!
Screen Filter
I don't know if this has been suggested before here but i have tried it and it works for me.

I ordered another privacy screen from a different company and I will let you guys know how it is!
privacy screen reducing the touch screen sensitivity
Who can give a recommendation?
i want to buy a good one who fits on the Display, and works fine.

I just wanted to let you know NOT to buy the new Touch HD privacy screen protectors.
They seem very good "on paper", however in reality it's a major disappointment. The privacy screen protector should reduce the viewing angle of your screen, making sure that people sitting next to you can't see the screen. This feature does in fact work up to a certain point, but the problem is that this screen protector reduces display quality so badly I consider it unusable.
Basically, the entire screen get's a very harsh rainbow color effect and some strange wavy lines that make your screen look like a 1995. CRT screen.
So, in short - avoid it.
I had a mirror screen protector turn up with a case I bought.
Applied it fine, then got the green and pink lines when looking through it, it actually became more clear the larger the angle I looked at it from!
The protector scratched really easily too, tried changing backlight brightness by dragging and I got a nice scratch. I wasn't pushing hard.
Nice idea, poor implementation.
I was thinking about getting something like that. How about some pictures? lol.
If it looks alright, I might swing for it from some other manufacturer because my friend has one on his iPhone and it's perfect.
I threw the protector away 5 minutes after trying it out. It's THAT bad.
As far as the iPhone goes, it's possible that it's not the same manufacturer. Also, it would seem that extremely high pixel density of Touch HD's screen could be linked to the way display get's messed up with rainbow effect.
My wife broke her screen on Friday and we went to a local shop to get the screen fixed yesterday.
This morning she mentioned that she thought the color on the new screen was different. She also pointed out that the buttons at the bottom didn't light up the same.
They practically don't light up at all.
The screen seems a bit dimmer as well. Not as bright and clear.
Is there any way that I can find out what kind of screen they put in her phone short of threatening to bulldoze the shop unless they put the right screen in?
I'm more than capable of dissasembling the phone without killing it and now wish I had but wifey wanted a working phone *today*
Can anyone help out? Are there any part numbers I can use to see what she's got now?
can you take a picture of the phone from upwards, and from sideways (to see if the screen is thicker than it should be)
sounds like it's a regular LCD screen

not without taking it apart first
You can tell if its LCD by how deep the blacks are.

definitely got shafted. you got an LCD screen. i'm pretty sure the local shop orders their parts from eBay or some chinese supplier. those screens are usually LCD even tho some may claim its amoled. the only way to get a genuine Super AMOLED screen is to contact samsung to replace it. i remember reading somewhere than samsung is not distributing their Super AMOLED screens to 3rd parties

I used to be a cellphone technician for a short time and I can tell you that we fixed screens on a lot of touch screen phones... but all the parts are dirt cheap chinese knockoffs!!! There is NO local shop that uses original OEM parts!!! unless u send it back to tmobile or etc!
to answer short and accurate u didnt get the same screen ur vibrant came with!
^$%#
Now I really feel like a total idiot
Is there any way to change the sensitivity of the proximity sensor. It seems every screen protector I try makes the screen turn off when in a call even without anything near the sensor. I had to cut one of the screen protectors to get around it (but had messed up a corner when applying so I replaced it)
Or is there a way to completely disable it so I just have to hit the power button when in a call to manually turn the screen on or off.

Dont have the same problem but would be helpful.
There is a distance setting in the build.prop file. You could try adjusting that and seeing if that helps.

Perfect. Changed the value (increased it from default of 60) and its working great now. Thanks for that tip.

Well after further testing seems that it didn't fix the problem. Seemed to work when I first made the changes but now the screen is stroll turning off and no matter what I change the value to I can't get the proximity sensor to work right.

According to the official Atrix manual -
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...s/StaticFiles/Atrix_US-EN_UG_68014798001B.pdf
Note: Your touchscreen might
stay dark if the sensor just
above it is covered. Don't use
covers or screen protectors (even clear ones) that
cover this sensor. To find Motorola accessories for
your phone, visit www.motorola.com/products.
Anyway, why do you guys keep using the screen protectors with this gorilla glass phones? I have carried Moto Milestone in my pocket for a year and D2G for 3 months and there are no scratches on them whatsoever.
I use them on every phone I get because although it is gorilla glass it can still get scratches under the right conditions and I for one do not want my $400+ phone to have a scratch on the screen. Never had a phone that had issues like this with screen protectors and the proximity sensor. Multiple iPhones, Dell streak, nexus one, droid, galaxy s. I've tried two different screen protectors with the atria and both have this issue.
I'm having issues with my proximity sensor too, but it seems that I can't make it turn off the screen when I'm talking. I'm not using any screen protector but I do have a case. It was working fine till a week ago but now I just have to block the phone every time I get a call.
The only difference is that I've installed 2 new games, maybe those are affecting the sensor?
Another thing that isn't working anymore is the auto brightness that's always set to minimum, no matter the light conditions. The phone is online for 260+ hours already (had it go to 500+ before but had to turn it off to add a micro sd card, just to be sure it would find it).

Ugh... thing is if you drop your phone, it could crack both with screen protector and without one. If you grind the screen against your keys, it will get scratched through the protective film.
If you use it normally - the chance of scratching it really small. Just my 2 cents.

My wife's phone had a screen protector on and got scratched by being in her purse. The actual screen though had no marks. The screen protectors help. Obviously each incident is different but they can help prevent some damage so in my opinion they are worth it.

Hi there,
Got the same trouble..... but I just noticed it work fine at the sun (outdoor)..... turn the screen off in the shadow..... and switch on in the sun....
so I think a light adjustment has to be done.... but where ?...
Thanks to developers
For those of you who've replaced your screens either DIY or via LG warranty replacement...please post how your screen quality and viewing angles compare to the original LCD.
I'll start...
1. On my Current G2, I had a perfect screen. Perfect viewing angles and excellent image quality with no defects
2. Ebay Replacement screen #1 had dead pixels and Mira lines.
3. Ebay replacement screen # 2 had horrible color. Almost black and white
4. Amazon replacement screen has great color & image quality but lesser degree of viewing angles.
It's hard to explain but easy to compare to other G2s and phones when you compare side by side.
After all these screen swaps in the last couple months I've decided to keep this screen and use the phone as is.
How does your replacement screen compare to the original one?
I got LG performed a "total refurbished" when I dropped and shattered my screen.
It came back and looked like new, no difference to the original.
After a shattered screen i got it replaced.two months waoting time.now have jdi panel but brightness is very low and have lots of screen bleed around the edges.the repairman did not do a good job but the panel itself is of lower quality.color and contrast ok but luminosity is about 70%of the original...not happy but no money for yet another panel...
Conclusion:dont drop the phone...
After having touch screen issues on my phone (no-touch zone, ghost touches), I bought a replacement screen for my D800 off eBay.
Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good. I'd say the screen is slightly more yellow than my original screen but it's by no means an issue.
The screen I got for my "new" Z3, is full of problems. It has press marks(areas on the screen which appear brighter/whiter) and the screen "flickers" on high brightness. My friend can't see it well, but I can very clearly see the screen going bright->dark->bright->dark slightly and very quickly.
Dropped mine and got it replaced at a cheap place in Bangkok.
Colours are the same, viewing angles are not as good, but
those doesn't matter to me.
Been 2 months dropped phone again, screen shattert again...
Biggest supprise: Touch is still working perfectly! Seems like the cheap replacement screen doesn't have the NoGap technology like the original ones haha. Seems like win win to me!

Thanks for the responses guys and sorry to hear about your screens.
Made a new poll. Please participate.
I'm trying to make a case that there are different versions of LCD panels made by different manufacturers.
They don't advertise which is which but we're starting to notice now that we're having out screens replaced.
I replaced my LG D800 screen with one from Amazon and the colors are slightly darker but other than that no big deal. I didn't do a good job with the replacement so there is definite light bleed on the edges and after four months of using it im getting ghost touches if I press on the lower portion of the screen. Don't think it's quite worth the $80 replacement to try again and get it right, just something I'll deal with until a new phone comes out and I can get it replaced all together.
Similar experience to laboratik except the repair was done at LG so the workmanship is good. But it is jdi panel and darker than the original.
Thank you guys for the responses. This thread should be helpful to others in our same situation.
The sad fact is that the market is flooded with aftermarket screens made by who knows.
Just compared my screen with the S6 Edge and have to say I'm very impressed with the image and color on this replacement screen however that's where the buck stops.
The reduced viewing angles are tolerable at best. I'd hate to remove this replacement screen send it back all over again...roll, dice pray I get a perfect match but unless I'm removing it from a G2 myself I'm starting to believe it's not likely it'll happen.
Check out this review on Amazon re: the screen I have.
This guy nails my current situation

I got a few of them from eBay, I can link you the buyer if you want, I've sold them and they are close to OEM, they only have one MAJOR flaw, they are thicker. While you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, they are thick enough to not be able to slip into most cases, so it's annoying.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/wholesaleblimited?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
That's the ebay seller I use for replacement parts.
So far the screens have been OEM quality( G2, GPro, AHD) I've bought a few from there, and they all have great quality, except for the thickness, they all seem to be thicker, this is probably due to it not being real gorilla glass, and just a knock off lol.
it looks like my replacement screen for LG service center has slightly lower sunlight legibility than original,
I dont know which panel is this, but brightness is reduced

After removing the Amazon screen and reinstalling the original one, I notice the Amazon one has slightly higher ppi/contrast with a smoother looking picture....WTH
Now if I can have that with the original screen's viewing angles I'd be golden....
Oh well....time to pack it back and return it back...will report back shortly

Hye guys. Im sorry if im in the wrong thread. Right now im in need for lg g2 d802 lcd full assembly replacement but im in tight budget right now. I can afford max for 60 bucks. ( im still depressed about losing my job though lol ) I've found several replacement at ebay from China that is under my budget but im in doubt if it is quality enough to be acceptable to be use in this great phone? I've heard about "crazy touch" issue too so im afraid if im not lucky enough to get one of those. Anyone here have experienced with these full lcd assembly from ebay? I would like to know if all those claim are true or not.

That one almost certainly looks like it will be a low quality replacement you will be unhappy with.
My personal opinion, if you want a full frame screen replacement....at least get one with the LG logo.
Saw one on ebay for 59.00 last night. The seller claimed to test them before they ship.

My shipment status says expected delivery Wed, Apr 15. Hope there are no more delays. Will keep the thread posted on how the screen performs.
Hi, has anyone seen these for the S7? They were not in today's keynote AFAIK. They were only made available for the S6+ and they were leaked in the previous weeks as an accessory to the S7, but nothing so far. Has anyone seen/heard anything about this_
Thanks!
As I feared, it seems this will only be available for the larger S7 edge...

Or may be for both?
http://ausdroid.net/2016/02/22/sams...ssories-for-the-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/
Hope to see see more cases in the near furture
Pre-ordered one on February 28th for my girlfriend. She's hooked on physical keyboards. She came from a Stratosphere 2.
Looks like it only comes in black for now...link here. She got the S7 Edge gold so would've been nice to see a gold case and keyboard but we'll take what we can get for now.
Finally got it today after Samsung didn't give any status for several weeks. Will have to report back on performance after we play with it more.
So far we noticed the keyboard case disables the always on display, puts a dent in the screen protector on the top left side (Will probably get a tempered glass protector instead), and removes the mode button on the camera. You obviously can't use the fingerprint scanner. The overall build quality and feel is nice. The keyboard is very responsive. My girlfriend is happy with it overall and said she only has to press buttons slightly harder than on the Stratosphere
The nighttime edge clock still works with the case even though the rest of AOD doesn't. Not sure if the edge clock is part of AOD or not. The keys obviously don't illuminate at night so difficult to use the keyboard if you're the passenger in a car at night. Would be nice if Samsung found a way to make them light up through wireless power from the phone.
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I posted a video

Hi, something very strange is going on. The space bar only enters a space if I press it with the ALT key, on its own it does nothing. Any ideas? This is not a hardware problem because it does enter a space with alt. There does not seem to be a keyboard config. This is very annoying... I am on the latest samsung software update. I do have a tempered glass protector, could that be it?
Thanks!

she'd probably like the Blackberry PRIV. I feel bad for RIM right now. Their previous reputation is overshadowing this REALLY solid device. If they released this phone 3-5 years, they'd likely still have a decent foothold in the market. They're at where LG was before Google breathed new life into them.... I wonder if Google would choose RIM to make a Nexus? That could instantly resuscitate that company. But currently, the PRIV is easily the best choice for someone who wants a physical keyboard
