Screen Protectors (Again I Guess)

I really can't decide wich to get.
I like Boxwaves but they don't have for Trinity, will others fit?
And second wich is better anti-glare or crystal. I think I want anti-glare but is it clear enough?
Anyway hope someone has some brilliant advice

i got this one and i can higly recommend it.
you just cant tell its there

For me there are no better ones than from MartinFields
http://www.martinfields.co.uk/productdec.asp?pid=2683&modeln=P3600&model=d_d810

I agree! Martin Fields Overlay is the way forward
(I do wish it was anti-glare though, the sunlight can make it quite difficult to see things sometimes and its not even summer yet)

So what about boxwaves anti-glare? Wouldn't they be better then?

I ordered one of the boxwave ones, we shall see how they are

Are there any protectors which help with veiwing the screen outside in sunlight? I thought 'anti-glare' was just anti-reflective, and nothing to improve contrast or brightness?
I have found that the screen is really hard to see, even on the brightest setting.
My previous SE p910 did not have this problem, and was great in sunlight. I'm using a Martin Fields protector, but I don't think that the problem - I had one on my P910 too

Yeah, if anyone does find something which makes sunlight viewing better than please share, because I too am having huge difficulties making anything out in daytime outside.

No trouble in night/daylight/sunlight/w.e. I'm using a Brando Ultra Clear screen protector.
You can only see the protector on the screen when you look very very closely.
You can take the protector off and wash it, but I don't advise you to do that because it's difficult to get your screen dustfree again..
The support of Brando is also super-great!

I second the Brando recommendations.
It is the best one I have used. Uses no glue, so can be repositioned. But it holds very fast using vacuum principles and static. No, it doesnt shift around on its own. In fact can only be removed with a loop of sticky tape.
Secondly, it is perfectly visible in sunlight. I have SPB mobile shell and have the screen brightness adjustment on my today screen. In sunlight the lowest setting is almost invisible, but even the second lowest setting is visible in sun with this protector. The brightest settings are more than enough for even very bright sunlight.

[Q] Gtab screen idea

I just recently had an idea about the terrible viewing angle of the Gtab's screen. the basics of a LCD screen is a sandwich of glass, liquid crystal, electrodes, and more glass. but the most important part is the back-light, it allows you to see what is displayed on the glass. the back-light on most monitors consists of a row of LED lights and many sheets of paper that evenly spread and carry that light.
my thought being what if we replaced the the films and papers behind the glass to distribute the light better.
sorry for the long post but i realized this after watching a tare down video of an LCD screen. also after thinking when i turn my gtab upside down i can see it at most viewing angles (seeing as the LED strip is directly shining from that angle)
would this be possible?

how about finding a way to flip the screen around?

Hmm that still doesn't solve the problem. You still get that weird angle in portrate and I don't think the cables would reach from the other side.
Good thought though.

the viewing angle has nothing to do with the backlight. A stronger backlight would be better for outdoor viewing though.

There is another long thread on the site with most of this info in it.

I'm not saying its the backlight but the distribution of that light that is the problem

Issue with viewing angle are due to the circular polariser in front of the lcd and also to the material used in the capacitive film, I doubt you will get much by playing with the backlight...
That said the spec of the screen are not the worst I have seen, far from it...

I personally have zero issue with the screen. My Dell Mini 9 is the same way and I just view it head on. When I use my Mini9, I angle the screen to it's perpendicular to my view. I do the same with my Gtab.
Would it be better if it had an IPS with RGB LED backlighting? Yes, but it would also be about $400 more to buy.
That being said, I may ask LG for a sample through work, for one of their new IPS screens, just to see what a difference it makes.

Screen is crap

On the desire s it is easy to get scratches on the screen and I have a keep one. I thought that the screen was gorrila glass??
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

i haven't noticed any problems with mine. I even dropped it on concrete which managed to chip the aluminium on the back but left the screen intact. The only time i can see scratches are when it's under direct light and those are still hard to see. Also, i do not use a screen protector.

It's clearly not a rubbish screen or this forum would be flooded with more posts saying the same
Buy a screen protector they're named like that for a reason

I hat screen protectors, but the screen seems to be adequate; I dont get any scratch and carry the phone in my pocket without any kind of protection (just try to no mix up with coins and keys).

When compared side to side, the screen is also somewhat dimmer and the Nexus S (S-LCD version, not amoled). Colors are also less vivid, but that may be software related.

Viewing angles might and black levels not be the best, but the brightness and colours are great. I'd hardly say the screen is crap. Also, pretty sure it is Gorilla glass but I'm not going to try and find out.

Compare it to x10 mini and you an se that diference...

i am pretty sure that the screen is gorilla glass
who told you that gorilla glass cant be scratched?it is scratch resistant not scratch proof
a small grain of sand can scratch the screen easily
that is why it is always better to get a screen protector as soon as you get the device

DS has for sure gorilla glass. but you can see some small hair0like scratches when the screen is off. i use protective membranes

I tried on x10 mini foil from Brando. They are 110% quality. But after an hour goes to bin :-D
I havent any scratch on screen. Desire s detto.

I noticed a scratch today, only had it several days.

[Q] HTC One X directfix screen contrast too high

I just purchased this screen:
directfix.com/product/XX2544.html
After replacing my old one, I noticed the screen contrast is incredibly high, do you think this is a screen issue or improper installation?

having the same issue, driving me insane. any help?

Contrast too high
I recently shattered the screen on my HTC One X and had it replaced (the screen, not the whole handset). Now, like yours, the contrast is too high. Very poor in many, but oddly enough not all, apps. Text messages in particular look washed out. Adjusting the brightness doesn't help, just makes everything flatter
I had a go with the Screen Adjuster app, found via another thread. Looked promising but unfortunately it seems that its base line is where your screen is already at, so you can only decrease the contrast rather than increase it
I hope someone else can suggest a way of improving the contrast. It's not debilitating when using the phone, just irritating and not as good as my original screen.
Thanks

Same issue
I also replaced my screen and found the same issue, poor colors and high contrast as if there is a screen protection under the glass, any ideas?
Thanks!

Same here!
There should be some app/tweak to fix it?
Maybe Bravia engine?

Same Issue
Just got phone back from getting screen replaced and contrast is way too high! colours look terrible too, any suggestions to fix this yet?
Thanks

Problem solved...I think
I just got called back from the reseller and they say that there is a screen protection film between the display and the glass, as I suspected, I shall bring it back to the service and post here the result.

From what I read the one x LCD screen is fused to the digitizer so there shouldn't be anything between them that's removable

No they are not fused. The LCD and the glass screen are just glued together.Youtube: watch?v=ceHw6mezG60. My guess is that the reseller has in storage only LCDs and gorila glass, and when somebody orders a whole screen they just stick them together and send it to you as a whole. And sometimes they just forget to remove LCD protection before sticking them together...at least this is what I think.

[Q] Screen Problem

Hello. My phone sometimes acts like i touched somewhere on screen and hold there neither that I didn't. I faced that in all roms so it's a hardware problem. It makes me crazy sometimes, especially when it happens when gaming. Am I the only one here faces this?
Also my screen works with water too.. Please test that, take some water in a PET bottle and touch it to the screen, then please write this if you face that.

Are you using a matte screen guard? Is there moisture on your hands?

Use a matte finish screen guard/clean your hands before you use your phone and this wont happen.
Water actually makes any capacitive touch phone go beserk.
Have had this problem..and i recommend a MATTE FINISH screen guard. Since the day i am using it, havent had that ghost operate my phone
If you dont get one in your country/state, use galaxy s2's matte screen guard till you find one.

Buddy... For me it was totally opposite... I had switched to a matte screen guard soon after buying my phone last year but I had so much problem with ghost touch... The day i switched to glossy screen guard my problems were solved..
Matte is better as its not a finger print magnet.. But the drawback is that it feels rougher, doesn't have good visibility in the sun, colours don't look as rich.. And for me the screen used to respond on its own.. It also makes some noise when you slide your finger across it(again personal opinion)..
Glossy is better coz its smoother, colours are much much better (personal opinion), it is very user friendly in strong sunlight and it's silent to use (no noise when sliding finger over it).. The drawback is its a fingerprint magnet..

Agreed. Y'day I visit a famous Shop near by My home. I asked him for Matte finished gaurd, but he suggested me to not to use it as it can harm your Screen & visibility will be less then Glossy. All above ^.^ statement was there. So, I haven't let my phone Wore that Protector.

Agreed..when battery gets critically low viewing in the daylight is kinda tough.
Yeah that happens.
But the phone looks beautiful too.
I had changed three clear screen guards and the ghost problem due to moisture was MUCH MUCH higher than the matte. Never experienced it after changing to matte.
Plus clear guards get scratched very easily and quickly which makes the screen go pathetic. Even then viewing.in the sunlight becomes a hassle.
Matte screen guard dont get scratched and last longer.
And when you press hard and slide on the screen..only then it makes a sound.
Rest ive never heard the sound.
Buddy i suggest you to try it again..
I hope it will be a good experience.
And no screen guard can damage the phone.
How can they if they can?
