Today I received a screen protector in the mail (came free with a case), so I decided to change out the old one that came pre installed on the X10. Of course once everything was removed and when I started to apply the new one, all of the dust in the house was magically attracted to the new one, rendering it useless.
I'm now stuck without a screen protector, and have growing paranoia that my screen is going to get messed up. Looks like I'll have to order a new one.
Until then, does anyone have an X10 with the protector removed? Has your screen scratched after extended normal use?
I'll probably be stuck without one for a week so I hope it lasts.
Truth : I suspect you won't have much success, if any, finding someone who's successfully scratched their X10 screen. There is one user however, who's succeeded in cracking the screen -- I remember having read a thread about it

Well you've got at least two now, momerbk and gavriel18 on another thread has stated his is "mashed" now due to not having one, so I'd get one on asap.
Not forgetting the guy who's was run over, that was pretty scratched
I've gotten some minor scratches but they are very hard to see... and from my personal tests the X10 screen hides scratches better then the Dell Streak

Rofl, I saw that one as well, although it doesn't really fit into my "normal use" category
I'm pretty careful with my stuff, I'll just have to avoid buses until I get a new screen protector lol.
This thread is somewhat putting me at ease though!
Semi related: Are there any scratch test videos for the X10?
Multiple scratches and a chip. Still don't know how I managed that...
haha lol. I scratched mine within 3 weeks ... I have now one big scratch and a few little scratches blegh.
Are you guys sure you really scratched the glass or is it just the original screen protector? The original screen protector scratches very easily. That is why I removed mine and replaced it with something better.
mine is still mint, I work in bean processing plant(dusty), spend most of my days off at the beach with the kids. That's no proof that it won't get scratched one day but I doubt it will make people think less of me if i have a scratch on my screen

I'm pretty sure they all have them stock. Take a closer look at the lower part of the screen near the buttons. You should be able to see it there. it is an exact fit protector so it's almost impossible to see that it's there.

Hmm it does look that way, although I can't seem to get it if it's is one) off
Another quick question:
I've heard that some of the better screen protectors can actually hide previous scratches once they are applied, is that actually true?
I've ordered both the clear coat screen protector and also that free stealthguard protection thing, so I'm hoping that one of those will be sufficient

I put one of the free stealthguards on mine Saturday. I only used he screen guard not the full body though. It was a little difficult to get the oem screen protector off but only until you get it started. Once it starts peeling it comes off fairly easy.
i have my phone in a leather case without a screen protecter, never been a fan of them and my screen is immaculate... so far it is only almost 3 weeks old though

wow just found it, i never noticed it LOL, it's a thick screen protector, sometimes when texting i noticed the phone sometimes missed keys wonder if it was because of the protector.
so can anyone confirm that there phone has been scratched without the OEM protector?
I think that extra thick shield is supposed to act as a "shatter resistant protector" so that if you do happen to smash the glass you don't get shards and splinters everywhere. It is much thicker than any screen protector i've seen before and taking it off will ruin it.
I took my oem one off and now have a deep scratch , not a clue how I did it. If I could go back I would definitely use protection lol. They may not be as pretty as the bare screen but they work.
Hi everyone.
Have a question & a problem.
Question : Does anyone know where I can get a Stock U.S. based Rom for my ZU ? Seems all the stock roms are for other country's.
.
.
Problem : Lately, my phone has been doing this weird ghost tapping. when I go into a txt message, it just starts typing all crazy. on the home screen windows pop up & then disappear. All sorts of weird tapping is going on. camera pops up.. & so on. I have no idea whats going on or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
FlashTool will download stock ROMs and convert them to flashable FTFs for you. From the top of my head, the function is in Tools -> Check for updates. Double-click your selections to see their version, then double-click again to download.
The ghost touch problem has been discussed a lot. Many of us solved it completely by applying a tempered glass screen protector on top of the anti-scratch glass. Some removed the ASF glass first, though that's a "harrowing experience" according to some. See for example this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2916279
Oh man this is gonna suck. I really dont wanna mess with the screen. I foresee bad things
But thank you for the help.
A tempered glass protector is very easy to apply and, if needed, remove, and the extra protection is also great (I've cracked mine ever so slightly at the top after dropping it, so I was glad it was there). I highly recommend you get one!
So cover the screen w/ a screen protector instead of removing the ASF ?
That's right. I had the touch problems with a plastic protector, but none with a glass one (Glass-M). Maybe others have been lucky with plastic, but damn, glass feels so much better, too.

Thank you very much.
So if I remove the screen protector, will It be as prone to finger print smudging like I do now ? It really drives me nuts. It seems to be worse on the ZU then on other phones Ive had.
Ok, so Ive removed the anti-shatter protector. Seems to be fine so far. & wow, 9 hours of work to get it done. Like many, the protector was coming off in little shards.
- Still haven't found a U.S. based stock Rom though.
I've had a number of smartphones and tablets over the years (and working in IT, I've used a hundred times more). On every gadget I've used, the touchscreen/digitiser has always been 'perfectly' sensitive, i.e. I've never been able to touch the screen without it registering a touch.
With my P9000, if I'm very gentle, I can touch the screen and it doesn't register as a "touch". This isn't really a problem, until it comes to using the keyboard. The bottom (half?) of the screen is a little bit less sensitive than the top, and this is a really annoying when I'm swyping. Sometimes the finger loses just enough contact, and the phone thinks I've swyped two small words in, rather than one big word.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing all this is to ask via the medium of a poll... Has anyone else had this? Is this common with the Elephone P9000?
I dont have this issue. But I read some (not all) screen protectors can cause the screen to stop functioning as expected

I used a tempered glass screen protector and then the screen almost didn't work. When removed the screen worked perfectly.

Did you use the official one? Been told that one causes serious issues. I have one from a company called brotech but I've yet to use it
I found that one of those plastic flexible screen protectors made the sensitivity issues a bit worse, and the tempered glass screen protector made it worse again.
(Again, I could get easily get it to respond, but I would make mistakes when I was swyping at speed!)

Yes, this was the official one.
I'll be putting my Brotech screen on later today. I'll let you'll know how it is
I noticed that the screen is very unresponsive (especially bottom part) when the phone is laid flat on a horizontal surface. When I take it into the hands it works quite normal.
I have the same problem. With tempered glass it is unusable. Even with out it, it very often does not register touches, especially on the sides
I'm using the elephone supplied tempered screen protector and my touchscreen sensitivity is awful...to the point where I want to smash the thing into tiny pieces. I've never had this problem with any other devices I've had. Can anyone tell me if the touchscreen experience is better if the software is flashed...to use Cyanogenmod for example...?
First time buying a Xiaomi. Never had a problem with a new phone out the box before ? I put a screen protector on it yesterday and it was intermittently unresponsive down the bottom lower left/right hand side, mainly the p and back button and also the ABC/123. Fingerprint couldn't be read at all even after re-setting it. Took screen protector off after 3 hours and noticed that the 123/ABC doesn't work still intermittently along with other keys from time to time. It's liveable but I'm not happy with how the keyboard functions in comparison to previous phones and thinking about sending it back...but is this a common issue with Xiaomi phones? I've read a few threads on various forums about it and tried things that have been suggested. I'm running Global 11.0.7. I've adjusted pointer speed which made no difference. I'm not using full screen gesture, I'm using buttons. Do I have a faulty phone or is it a case of grinning and baring it ?

So in the end, you had 2 screen protectors on your device, because there is already a screen protector attached out of the box
But if you're still experiencing heavy issues, I would guess it's a hardware issue.
Mine is working as expected.
Am I missing something here??? Corning glass yes, no protector as far as I'm aware.

It's now on its way back, I'd had enough of the intermittent abc/123 working as and when, plus other areas of curved edge. I've ordered another but please enlighten me further in regards why you think I'm using 2? Especially seeing as I've ordered other screen protectors for the new phone that's on order ?* Thanks

If you put one screen protector onto another, that makes two, right?
As I said before, there is already one on the display out of the box.
It's just fine.
But hey, it's your device then, so you can do what you want
If you don't like the factory attached protector, then use another.

I got a simple silicone case. I've checked all specs on Xiaomi website for the note 10 and it doesn't state anything about pre-installed screen protector. At a loss because it sure as hell felt like glass and no screen protector. Surely if there was a pre installed screen protection it would state it? Are you on about Galaxy note 10 lol ???

What are you talking about Mi Note 10 ??? This thread is about the Mi 10
The Mi Note 10 doesn't have a factory installed screen protector, but the Mi 10 has.
So, have you ordered with a "Note" or without???
Further more, there is no Global ROM for the Mi 10 yet...
So I'm sure as hell, this is the wrong thread for you:victory:

Did you turn on increased touch sensitivity in display settings as well? Heard that can help. Seems there are also some glass protectors that don't work as well as others too.

I use supershieldz works just fine
might be a silly question, but did you register your prints before applying the SP?
That is what I did and the cheapo Glass SP I applied afterwards is working fine. I even tried laying a second SP on top - just to check and it still works - but only 50% of the time (in the brief testing I did).
I have not upped the sensitivity option mentioned above.

It was 'Pkila Compatible with Oneplus Nord Tempered Glass Screen Protector' - purchased August last year - cant find it for sale anywhere in the UK at this point.
Tempered glass didn't work for me but it came with a protector for the camera so not a total loss. This film protector is working great, I can confirm the fps works 90 to 95% of the time and 2nd time is always a charm

Yeah, I used this and it works well. See my post w/picture in the other FP thread "Hey Google, Fix the Fingerprint..."
And maybe the mods can combine the finger print threads
weird I just installed it and it's about as good as the s20, it's like 8/10 for me.
Just to update that I got my WFTE Screen protectors earlier today.
Seems to be working fine, I replaced the AmFilm one with the WFTE and the FP now worked 18 out of the 20 attempts I tried so far - even if position the thumb in different ways e.g. lower part / upper part - this is probably as good as the 'Pkila Compatible with Oneplus Nord Tempered Glass Screen Protector' that I was originally using as a temporary measure.
One thing though - I think the WFTE is a bit on the thinner side? I say this because the 1st WFTE I tried developed a small crack along the edge when I was smoothing out the bubbles. I have been using SPs for years now and this has never happened to me before??
The 2nd one went on fine.
After the WFTE one cracked during install and the poor customer service response from WFTE, I wanted to try and find a different brand and there were some positive reviews for the AOKUMA one Amazon UK.
I replaced the WFTE with the AOKUMA yesterday afternoon and it is working fine for me - as good as the WFTE in terms of the fingerprint being accepted.
