Hey everyone. I got my invisible shield yesterday. Full body coverage. Carphone Warehouse £17.99. Installed it yesterday. Pleased with results.
As you can see in the pictures, there are still water bubbles on the front screen protector, but they are still drying up.
Now I am rest assured my desire s will remain scratch-free!
Sorry for the poor quality, shot on a 3mp tg01 camera.
Any questions, request more pictures, and I will be glad to answer!

hi
i got a screen protector when i bought the device,since i was not able to get the one for the DS at that time i got an smaller one
now i am going to buy a new screen protector & was considering a antiglare type but i heard that they make the screen look bad & the colors diffused,is that true & if it is does it make it look very bad?
i am also considering buying a case do you have any recommendations?

Hi! I always try and avoid cheap screen protectors because they get scratched easily and they make the screen much more reflective. If you want a quality protector I recommend the case mate or official HTC protector. For a case, there are loads avalable like Amazon etc!

I have tried an ebay anti glare screen protector branded "Screen Guard professional". These are the easiest I have tried to apply without bubbles but do give the screen a rather unattractive grainy effect where white areas are viewed. I have gone back and ordered some clear ones from the same range.
Are the water bubbles already completely gone?
Nice, but I don't see a need for a full body. For me a screen protector is enough.

Thanks, I was also thinking about getting one, nice to know that the bubbles actually go away. I was a bit wurried that the bubbles would stay or leave small rings.

Nope , it won't leave any residue when it comes off still recommend it !
Only thing though,when I went in holiday to Florida, the shield started to peel away abit. I'm guessing this is to do with the really hot weather though! Other than that the shield is great !

How??
The screen protector doesn't even cover up the proximity sensor. There is a cut out for it...
It may be a ROM you are using with RC tweaks, they make the sensor less responsive

I am having this issue as well. I am going to call Tmo to exchange it.
I don't think that will fix the problem. Your replacement will most likely get the same results
It wont solve the issue. I went thru 7 G2s all with dust under the screen. Im telling you you will get use to it. HTC qc sucks ass.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
I was thinking about doing it until the limited warranty ends
I've heard of people complaining about this "issue" a lot now, but I've never experienced it. I've had an HTC DREAM (ADP1), HTC VISION, and now my GF has an HTC DOUBLESHOT. There has never been an issue with dust under the screen. I would suggest that it may, therefore, be related to EXPOSURE to dust. Possibly related to how you protect the phone. Do you keep your phone in a clean pouch? Or do you drop it in your pocket along with whatever other cruft you may be walking around with? Do you work in a particularly dusty environment?
In any case, the issue would be that the digitizer sits above the LCD. The only place where dust could conceivably get to that would be visible as "under the screen" is between the digitizer and the LCD. You should be able to disassemble the phone and wipe it out (after warranty expires). Until then, use warranty, and then protect the phone from dust.
I've never had issues with dust under my screen, but then again I've always kept my phones in a G1 pouch
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-Google-Phone-Pocket/dp/B001OOEQJ2
The only time I've had an issue was when I took apart my MyTouch 3G slide and touched underneath the screen and got prints all over it and put it back together without realizing it, so that was entirely my fault..
No dust for me. Have my phone on me 24/7 in an extremely dusty environment. I am a powder coater
I am usually covered head to toe, with powdercoat and metal dust. Kept loose in my pocket and I use it 3-4times an hour to check the time.

Never had any dust in mine either, but I pouch mine like RazoE and take absurdly good care of it. Used to have a G1 that I bought used and it never had any dust either.
The earpiece on this phone is kinda big; perhaps dust is making its way in from there?

Upon further inspection, it seems this might actually be the port of entry; see attached photo.
The glowing blueish area in the red rectangle is the LCD, pretty much open to whatever can make its way in, i.e. dust. There is another opening similar to this further down the track between the screen and keyboard and you can see it pretty well if the screen is lit up.

I just picked mine up. After the android update, my camera went wonky and I had to exchange for a second time. Unfortunately, I ended up with another sh*tty screen after finding a decent one. Decided to wait until today and try the white or return altogether (getting a decent screen is a crapshoot). Guys, there are zero blobs on this screen, it seems crisper and lines are a non-issue...it is nearly perfect! I have to wonder if Samsung addressed the obvious issues with the white version. If you are still within your 30 days and having screen issues, I HIGHLY suggest trying the white version. I finally feel like I got my money's worth and have zero regrets about this phone.

I wish I had screenshots of the screen prior to the exchange but I do not, sorry, but just review the pics that other members have posted and you will get the idea. I have attached 3 screenshots from the new white version. On the phone I had prior to the exchange, the black background showed hideous blobs and blotches all over the screen but as you can see, the same exact black background shows zero blotches (on the lowest or highest brightness). Everythings looks so much richer and crisper on this one, imho...FYI, my screen is on a fairly low brightness setting.
to bad i dont know when i bought my phone.....or i would take it back to get the white one if they fixed the screen
just confirmed with BB that they will not carry the white version. Guess I have to keep my black one then

I actually went to ATT to get the HTC Vivid, but I was really disappointed with it. After talking to a very nice and intelligent sales rep, I decided to get the Skyrocket instead. When he went to get one from storage he realized that there were no black ones left. He told me that if we came back tomorrow (today) I could get a white one. His manager overhead the discussion and said "hold on". She walked back got a white one and told my sales rep he could sell it to me. I was very impressed with the level of service I received and I'm really happy with this phone. The white model is stunning IMO.

Damn I have 2 days to swap it. Hurry up BB.
Can someone confirm that there isn't any lines/blobs in this version please?
Ive been waiting for my skyrocket for 3 weeks now. Now I'm getting the white one hopefully today. Since they just came out yesterday. I finally get to have a new phone after using the captivate for a full year .
Was also able to return my black GS2 Skyrocket for a white one yesterday!! It feels smoother, the chrome lining does make it look nice, and under close inspection I could still see some vertical lining, but its less apparent than it was on the older gs2.
Maybe they did fix it, or I'm not seeing it. Then again it never really bothered me in the first place so I'm not entirely sure...
I just read about the wavy line issue but these lines do not move its kind of similar to the line issue on the t989 does anyone else have this?

Maybe you could be more specific: What ROM, Which version of the device....etc....etc.
The lines you are referring to are called "mura", and unfortunately they are a natural artifact in SuperAmoled screens.
Nope, don't have the same problem I had with the SGS2. It's clear as day for me in any lighting with accurate colors, including the whites.
And I might be in a small small minority here, but I prefer the pentile display. It's sharper and just seems to look better to my eyes.

If you're still in the buyers remorse period just get a replacement
So I sent back one already for this and my referb I got back is not nearly as bad but they are still there. Basically, when I am using the phone in a dark area and the screen gives black , not off, there are black dots on the screen. This one is not nearly as bad but is it worth trying another one?
