Hi
just need to know whether Arc S has a built in screen guard from the company or not !
cuz from the beginning m not using any protection as i see an edge around the corners that reflects the dual surface, which i believe is the original protector !
plz help as i want to put a guard now as i see sme minor scratches which are alarming !
awaiting reply
Yep the phone comes with 'mineral-resistant screen'. However it is best to put another screen protector on it just to be on the safe side I have a mirrored one
thnx ! but if that mineral protector is somehow peeled off ! is it bad ? cuz i did that deliberately !

Really? At least on my phone I even did not try because it looks like almost as its fixed there and cant be peeled.
Mine as well didn't last long.. In just couple of days air bubbles started to breed between the screen and the protector! I had to take it off and apply a new one (you can buy in mobile shops)
A good tip is to make sure there's absolutely no dust on the screen before you start applying the protector
Stock protector is applied so precisely and is so sticky that it's almost impossible to "accidentally" remove it. So I don't know how did you manage to do that, really.
Also, can someone explain to me how is it possible for bubbles to start appearing under screen protector all by themselves, for no reason??? Some new laws of physics maybe, or...?

Hey guys, am i the only one? Phone did not fall or something else, it is only one week since i bought it.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but are you sure it isn't just a scratch on the screen protector?
No, it isn't just a scrtch. Line became longer too.
Maybe you walked against something while your phone was in your pocket?

I would't post this if somethig like that happened.
Try to remove the original SE screen protector and see if the scratch/crack glass is on the display as well.
If it is, I would strongly suggest to take it to the nearest warranty repair shop.
It is scratched screen protector.
Yeah and the scratch went 2 cm longer itself
my arc has colorbubbles :S
in some points no more color
and over the Display at the display sensor its a bit broken
do you think i can change it by warranty ?
My Arc has fallen on the road 2 times & in my room 3 times.. Not a single scratch on screen.. Just a little scratch in the cornor where it's HDMI-thing...
Anyone know how to replace just the glass? Mine broke from dropping it face first on the ground

Hey guys,
I have a Xperia Arc that took a tumble out of my pocket yesterday evening while I was visiting a friend out in the country side. His drive way is all gravel and scratched up the screen with tiny hairline scratches. Is it possible to buff these out? If so what kind of tools or supplies would I need ? Possible to get a replacement digitizer? the screen functions perfectly and the scratches arn't deep but I'd like it to look good to keep up the resale value. I know I'm going to get lectured here about how "you should have had a screen protector on it", I did have one on until recently and even had a case still on the body.
If anyone is able to help me or knows where I can get it replaced near where I am, I live in Chateauguay, Quebec Canada
Thanks in advance!
did u remove the preapplied shattered proof sp? by default se put one on ur screen unless u already removed that also..
Id also like to know if theres any tip how to remove scratches.
There's a factory applied screen protector, just remove that you're scratch free.

Yes, try removing the factory screen protector first, and if there are still some scratches, you can go to an automotive store and try looking for plastic polish products, but NOT scratch fillers. I use this (http://www.bestplasticcleaner.com/) on my car's headlights, it's a very fine plastic polish, and might buff out small scratches, but if you can feel it with your finger nail, it's probably too deep.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to just replace the whole digitizer / screen assembly , which isn't too hard, but might be a bit expensive.
check out this XDA post for removing your screen.... i think somebody in there posted a place to buy replacement parts if you do need it...

Hello, found a few scratches on my Xperia Arc screen and got very disappointed, I thought it had scratch resistant screen, later I took a close look to the screen and found out that it had one more screen layer, could anyone tell me if it can be removed or not, because when I asked SE support team, the operator told me that it can be removed, I just wont a suggestion, help guys.
I would not touch that layer it is part of the capacitive sensor on the screen if I'm not mistaken
yeah, I'm afraid of that too, but support team convinced me in opposite
Yes, you can remove it without problems. I did it in December without problems so far.

how did you remove it? any suggestions to peel it off? It's a bit hard to do that ( with nails )
With my nails
It takes a while to pick up a corner, but once you got a corner picked up it's easy.

Part of capacitive sensor ?? Lol
Anyways..it's just a screen protector..if got scratched,replace it with a new one..
And in this case,i would suggest you to seek some professional help as you might end up making new scratches in order to remove the protector.It's a tough job and needs a lot of love and care d(^_^)
Thank you all, I did it, it really was a screen protector, if found layer like this on your arc , you should peel it off, as a result you get Better colors, touchscreen enhancement and sharper image.
I dont think that we should remove the screen guard. SE provides two screen guards with the handset. One comes already pasted on ur handset and other comes in the box. we need not remove it as it keeps the main screen safe from scratches..
I really agree with your, but that screen protector makes touchpad less sensitive and colors are less vivid, so I prefer being extra careful with my phone then looking at Less Attractive screen
Last time I checked the screen protector I have on doesn't change the quality, clearness or the color of the display. Just saying.
Protect your screen with one. Most of them now a good and leave your screen feeling normal.
i know its an old question but anyway i have one question.how hard is it to peel of the screen protector? im trying it right now and im afraid of braking something, should i force it off or what?
It is glued there so you may have to use some force to peel it off.

I scratched the display, is about 1 inch, not very visible and only when the phone is off.
Is there a solution to remove the small scratch ? Could i, maybe, in the future, to replace the screen display ?
Thank you
The ZL comes with a screen protector installed on it. Remove the screen protector and install a new one.

Did you scratched the surface of the glass or just the screen protector. Make sure.
Because all the latest Sony phones comes with the screen protector preinstalled.
I thought the phone comes with Dragontail, making it relatively scratch resistant?
Beautiful...
I just got a "Hand-me-down" Sony ZL (It is Great to have friends in the Business).
But there is a small 1" scratch in the top half of the screen. Not too bad when it is on but ugly when the screen is dark.
I only just now, after reading your posts, noticed that the screen already has a screen protector.
Is there anythign special needed to remove the old one?
I am jsut waiting for Amazon to deliver my new screen protecter than I will remove the old one and have a perfect phone.
Thanks for the heads up...

But the ZL doesn't have Dragontrail. Well, nobody confirmed it yet.

That's true. Some people say it is dragontail based on the Z screen... but I saw a test on youtube... this guy scratched the screen, then removed the protector... after that he tryied to scratch using knifes and keys but the screen was intact.

While it shouldn't be removed... unfortunately, it's REALLY easy to scratch that "protector"...
They do remove easily and you can replace it with a different screen protector, I'm unsure what removing it might do to your Warranty... (mine ended up rather scratched up, and I replaced it with a Skinomi protector instead...

I think it's better than the original protector... But I've used this style of screen protector on other phones before as well, and found them to be pretty good.
Based on what I saw with the screen and finger prints, you don't want to try and use this phone without any screen protector... that just ends up being a mess waiting for a place to happen...

thank you brother, thats good to hear since i've already ordered one lol. :laugh:
so would you say getting the old one off is fairly easy? does it leave some sort of residue on the screen after removing?
thanks again for the info! mine has a couple of marks/scrapes on it that just annoy the heck out of me. love this phone if not for that.

The old one wasn't too hard to take off... and I don't remember it leaving too much residue... start at a corner, and be careful... I think I used a needle to help me get it started... but was trying to be careful so I wouldn't actually scratch things under neath while trying to get the other screen protector off... you will want to clean the screen before you put the new protector on though...
Hi all,
I absolutely just got my Z1c (didn't even turn it on yet), and the first thing that called my attention is that there is a screen protector on the box... so, a few questions:
1) Does this mean that there is no screen protector already installed on the screen?
2) Is it worth installing it or not? I've read that on the regular Z1, the protector is only for shatter protection, but is actually not scratch resistant... if this is also the case for the Z1c, I guess that I will do without the protector... any other reason to install it?
PS: this baby just arrived after pre-ordering it at Sony Mobile Italia...
Thanks,
Leo.
Put it on, should it ever be scratched it is way easier to replace than the original anti-shatter-film mounted on the display panel. And don't forget to protect the back as well, it's only plastic...

i almost forgot about that. was too excited to finally be getting a proper phone to be looking at what was in the box.
if you look up where the notification light is, and hold it against the light in a certain way you should be able to see it. they did a neat job of it. i still dont understand why it is there really. if my screen shatters im not going to be able to use the phone any more. maybe they are worried about glass going all my pocket if i break it. umm thanks sony. how thoughtful of you
