HTC said that Sensation has contoured glass, anybody knows what is the real meaning of that?
if you look at all the vidoes/images you'll see that the edges of the screen/glass are tapered up. you'll see a somewhat of a bump.

I believe the reason for doing that is so when the phone is lying face down the screen isn't touching whatever surface its on.
i.e. helps prevent scratches

It also uses gorilla glass, so it should be even more resistant to scratches from the off.

I dont think this is a reason, since it has gorilla glass!
A design flaw maybe? Or maybe they're designed to look like that??
Tapatalking with style on my G-Tab!!
it is designed so that when your sliding from the middle to the outside of the phone, it gives feedback when you reach the edge of the device. The Nexus S has a similar design. It is also supposed to help.with ergonomics, seeing as htc seems to have put in a lot of thought into how to make a 4.3 inch screen feel comfortable to hold, hence why the screen has a 16:9 ratio compared to other comparable devices.
Interesting....
So basically contoured glass means that glass has concave shape ?
I would think it its for comfort since it ll natural against the curved face. It can be very comfortable holding somehow flat that treats a purses point against a curved surface ie the face
Thunderbolt
Brilliant 4” Contour Display
Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung, and it is the first smartphone to launch with a Contour Display. The curved glass screen fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face.

The difference is the Nexus S display was slightly curved, whereas the Sensation only has curved edges, like a ridge running around the edge of the screen, so that description isn't accurate for the Sensation.
compared to the iphone 4 i used to have, the infuse's glass sucks.
had the iphone from its release to the infuse's release in may, and the screen didn't hold fingerprints (easily wiped off) and had 0 scratches. apple's oleophobic coating works very well. my infuse doesn't get clean easily, fingerprints just smudge around and the screen looks nasty all the time. also, it's got small scratches all over it.
not saying the iphone is a better device overall, just that apple is superior to samsung in fit and finish, and material quality.
...not to mention the horrible color quality and banding you get at anything lower than 25% brightness, or the general creakiness and weird sounds the device makes (not solidly built at all)
i've had the phone for just around six months and though it's been nice in many ways (performance and camera quality are good) , the infuse has mostly put me off getting another samsung phone.
anyone else have similar experiences? any solutions for my screen woes?

Yea! I get very sweaty hands at times, half the reason why I bought a big phone. I will admit dust, smudges, and fingerprints do make the phone harder to read if I'm outdoors. But when I'm indoors the smudges and fingerprints on the screen still make it very readable. I use a microfiber cloth that is very soft to clean my phone screen off each and everyday from smudges, dust, and fingerprints. The coating over the glass is what is causing fingerprints and smudges hard to clean off.
Edit: I don't like the sound and looks of phone protectors.
I've had my Infuse since August, and a Captivate for nearly a year before that. NEVER had a scratch on either screen. Gorilla Glass is awesome. Never use a film protector. My Infuse glass is like new. I wouldn't wipe with an Apple product, and just as my 'droid does, I eat apples.
Screen on infuse is awesome! You may want to Quit using screen protectors... Mine screen still looks brands new. Picked up the infuse on launch day and never used anything for protection! There's no way you can do that with an iPhone!

I didn't even bother getting a screen cover for mine and it's still like new after using it everyday for 3 months. No scratches, and i don't really experience the banding problem that you mentioned at all. In comparision to the iphone, i don't know why you say it has worse color quality. Side by side, the OLED display kicks the iphone display out of the water in terms of color production, not so much in terms of pixel resolution, but that doesn't affect color.
i don't use a screen protector
color quality is only worse at low brightness settings, at max brightness the infuse is far better than the iphone
you guys don't get banding issues at low brightness? i asked about this before and the general consensus was that this is a flaw with SAMOLED+ displays, and that there was nothing i could do about it.
@axiomkid
that coating on the glass (not a screen protector, the coating from the factory) should be there to prevent fingerprints and oil from collecting on the display, not to make it more difficult to remove! that's the purpose it served on my iphone, at least. dunno if samsung is doing something backwards here lol

nope. considering i am at 0 brightness most of the time, and less than 10% most of the other time, I don't see any such issues.
for me, greys and blues look horrible at low brightness. it's gotten worse since i originally bought the device back in may.
it appears as weird color banding and artifacting that is in a constant pattern on the display, as in it doesn't move when i scroll something.

Have you tried supercurio's screen tuning app (requires root)? It helps out a lot with the blurry text and banding. I can't say I have anything but love for my SAMOLED+ screen myself.
I haven't really had any issue with the glass either. I have very few scratches, no big noticeable scratches at all since I've had it, and when I get finger prints on it I just pop it out of it's case and wipe it on my sleeve and it's typically fine. If I let the screen get really dirty, it might take just a drop or two of water to help clean it, but the glass on my phone is in great condition.
supercurio's app is a huge improvement over the stock settings, but mostly just for text in my experience
banding isn't much iproved
Supercurio's screen tuning app works great even on Stock Froyo 2.2. No issues with display set at 9% Brightness, I never go higher than that since it's not needed and I rather not fry my eyeballs with the screen brightness being too bright.
Edit: Had my Infuse for about 2 months now, Not a single scratch, nic, dent, Not ANYTHING! (Knock On Wood!)
My glass is scratch free and I have no problems wiping the screen off when *my hands* smudge it.
wow,
my experience has just been the opposite. The Infuse Gorilla screen is awesome, no protector, no scratches and i typically just wipe the screen on my jeans or shirt. once a week use a damp cloth on the screen only. I got the Infuse 2 weeks after release last spring.
Prior to the Infuse, I had also had the ip4, 3gs, and 3g and think the Infuse screen minics the ip4. I thought the finger print protection on the iPhone4 was garbage...didn't work on my phone.
i guess i just got a good iphone, and a crappy infuse
My phone is always in my pocket with my keys and change and i have no scratches on it. Smudges come off easy so its just u having an issue. Maybe make sure your hands are clean before u touch your screen.

Why would you make a thread just to complain?
The iPhone is a great phone, however some of those claims are just ridiculous. The glass is undeniably better on the Infuse than the iPhone 4. That's just a fact. Some of the complaints are valid, like the build quality and camera. You win some you lose some.

i don't know if I'm just not as careful as I think I am but the glass on my phone scratches really ****ing easily.
im always so careful with my devices. i've had my hox for a couple weeks and I only ever keep it in my pocket with nothing else in there or face up on a desk or table
I've got 2 little nicks in the middle and a big scratch across the top left corner that I can feel if I run my finger over it
its my fault for not having a screen protector, and I've been meaning to order one and just haven't gotten around to it, but I'm a little disappointed it scratched so easily

None of my Android devices with gorilla glass have ever scratched. I just sold my Atrix I bought at release (bought in Q1 2011) yesterday- flawless glass. Keep it away from diamond earrings and sand. Most metal in general to be safe.
i have a feeling there was a grain of sand in my pocket. its the only thing I can think of.
hopefully the screen protector hides it a little

Yes it will scratch. I scratched mine with my wedding ring in 2 places already. Although they are on the sides and not very noticeable it can happen. I know that the wet application screen protectors do a good job at hiding the scratches like Zagg or Skinomi. I had a Zagg on mine but took it off because I didn't like the feel of it but I couldn't see the scratches with it on. I put a Skinomi on my wife's gs2 and it also covered up the scratches. I think I'm going to try the XOskin this time around for my one x. I heard the were pretty good protectors.

I have yet to crack or scratch a screen. I think there are a lot of very careless smartphone owners out there. I hear a lot of damage issues especially with gorilla glass. It does not sound like gg is any better than anything else.

The HTC One X is shaping up to take point as the company’s new flagship. The leaked official specifications confirm the rumors of an NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset doing the heavy lifting inside the One X with a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. The second generation Super LCD of HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) at the front measures 4.7" and is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 2.The One X should have 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's no microSD slot available, but HTC will try and make up for that by providing 25GB of Dropbox online storage for two years for free.

My HOX fell out of my pocket when I was changing clothes, so about 6 inches from the hardwood AT MOST. My best guess is that it landed screen down on some grit because there is one big scuff and I put my fingernail in easily and one long scratch.
I've seriously never scratched an android phone before this and I've dropped them in the past a bit.
I'm going to try some cerium oxide to possibly buff it out a bit because it's really noticeable and quite the eye soar.

NEVER buff your 6 inch hardwood with cerium oxide. Prone to chafing. Try astro glide.
I found an inch-long scratch on my screen a few days ago. No idea how it happened, as I am very careful with the phone. I hate screen protectors, but I ended up putting one on (from bestskinsever). It actually works quite well, and the screen protector made the scratch invisible, which is pretty cool.
I highly recommend bestskinsever. The body skin, and now the screen protector as well, work very well for me - couldn't be happier. Better than any case (although of course you sacrifice drop protection).

Does anyone want to post pics of the scratches on their phones? Maybe seeing the pattern in which these scratches appear can shed light on how they are caused.
With Gorilla Glass 2 on the Infinity, what is your opinion on placing a screen protector on this device? And if 'Yes,' which one?
I have one on my phone and it has been great, but does a tablet like this warrant a screen protector.
For myself, I plan on having the device in a rooCase when it becomes available.
Thanks for your input.
I had a protector on my NexusOne that has Gorilla V1.
Dumbest idea ever!
I removed it about a year ago. It fell down so many times, no scratches.
Screen is like when I bought it.
I don't think you need a protector with Gorilla anymore.
if you take it on the go a lot - screen protect it
if you have kids - screen protect it
if you like to set it up and down on stands - screen protect it
if you dont have a leather case - screen protect it.
if you just like the awsome smooth feeling of the glass, then leave it naked and touch it all you want

Screen Protectors usually make for a tight fit with docks. You may have to do a little trimming around the docking points depending on the protector you choose.
When I carry it arround the house, I don't need a protector, Gorilla Glass doesn't seem to get scratches easily (nor does the back of my Infinity, despite what some said).
For going out I either take the dock which encloses the screen within the whole thing or I take TranSleeve (originally meant for the Prime), which is helpful for typing or watching media (two standing positions). I don't see a point of having this kind of sleeve for both (although this seems nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28593251&postcount=19), although I have bought the cheapest (~$3) neoprene etui/sleeve for 10" netbooks available (somehow they tend to be cheaper than the same products for 10" tablets): http://vegacom.eu/data/gfx/pictures/large/6/6/9566_7.jpg?337768
This is more for suddently-dropping-the-bag-on-the-floor kind of situation than to avoid scratches, but I feel better with these precautions (I also carry a few books in the backpack quite often, so it seems safer to have some kind of cover).

I was answering the question if one should protect the screen with gorilla glass, but ok, good point. I would never use something that would blur the image on the Infinity, but I can understand somebody would want to do it to be able to use the tablet in direct sunlight. But to avoid scratches? Hell no!
You can some brutal things to gorilla glass without scratching it. Most people don't need a screen protector. The huge elephant in the room is dust, which might surprise some folks who don't have to live with much of it. If you live in an especially dusty region, you should seriously consider protecting even a GG2 screen. The glass has not been invented that won't scratch if the right piece of dust gets dragged across it just so. Hammering a nail with an HTC one x is impressive (reference to a youtube vid I saw once), but not the most practical test. Some dust particles are harder than nails, I assure you.

Definitely +1 concerning the dust, but concerning the damage reduction potential of Gorilla Glass: when I got my LG Optimus 2x about one and a half years ago, I rubbed the tip of a knife on the screen (Gorilla Glass v1) to and fro in a ballsy whim during a dinner with friends. Turns out it was a bad idea: although I have since upgraded to the SGS2 and the LG is now carried around by my wife, it still bears a nice mark (scratch).
Although, with a probability close to certainty, a normal screen would've been utterly destroyed (I wasn't exactly gentle), the potential for damage is still there and it doesn't even take visceral violence. It is chemically hardened glass, it can take a beating but it is only an extra line of defense.
For the sake of on-topic conversation: I have never used a screen protector on any device I own. I take good care of them and mostly use them eitehr indoors or in a shaded area (inside the train, for example). If you'd need outdoor visibility, consider it. If you have the dock, think about a good sleeve or case (I have bought an relatively cheap leather one on eBay and, although it does add significant bulk, it does a commendable job as far as protection goes).

Dust? Really? Have you seen the Gorilla Glass 2 vendor video? They threw everything at it but the kitchen sink. If dust was ever to be their demise, Gorilla would lose ALL credibility with their product. I'm hardly worried.
I love the "Guerilla" typo, it should be an extra-hardened version! ;D
My post here shows why you'd use a anti-glare film on the TF700T.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28362111&postcount=2806
When I got mine I found it was almost impossible to use out on the pattio without the anti-glare film.
The glass is simply a perfect reflector giving very crisp and detailed images of everything around and abowe you overshadowing the data on the screen.
The same issue faces almost all tabs and phones though.
The anti-glare screen does do odd things to the pixels due to the high density, but overall it works.

GG is tough and great, but you underestimate the power of dust.
+1 for an Anti-glare protector. Not for it's "protection" qualities, but for it's anti-glare qualities... I just got my TF700 and the screen is beautiful, but very reflective... Plus the anti-glares help reduce finger prints significantly. Just get a good one - you usually get what you pay for when it comes to anti-glare protectors.
However, I do worry that it may interfere with the screen quality too much on the TF700 though (they usually create some level of "pixelation" effect which may ruin the TF700 "experience" - not sure as I don't have one yet!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I refer to the effect of anti-glares as the rainbow effect. It acts a little like a prism per pixel, especially noticeable on white screens as you'd expect. Some people just see it as noise. Some don't see it.
I'm undecided about whether or not its worth it. It always has been before (bonus: fewer prints), but I've never had a screen this beautiful before either, and I'm not sure I want to obscure it.
My argument is pretty simple: the Infinity is so pretty I would never want to blemish it with any permanent type of screen protector. And it gets so hot in direct sunlight during summer here anyway that I prefer to stay indoors with it ;>

My phone is a week old and i never really had a device with defective pixels before so i can't really tell what this is. I ran the defective pixels fix videos for 30 minutes but that didn't help. Sorry for the image quality, i don't have a decent camera to capture those tiny pixels.
I also noticed that i have light bleeding from all edges when i view the device from an angle, is that normal for the nexus 5?
Could it be that there are gaps between the glass and the display that allow dust to go beneath the glass, and this is just a dust particle under the glass?

The light bleeding is normal I've seen on all Nexus 5 i have owned, the "Dead Pixel" is a little hard to judge , but in my opinion as its not solid square(s) i think it may be dust or debris.
I had purple spots start showing up on my first one. That doesn't look too bad but it would bug me too.
Do you think that more dust could get in if that's the case? I have a local warranty and i'm leaving this country after a month, if the issue won't grow bigger than this, then i may just live with it as i don't think LG would give me a replacement unit here.
Not sure if it would be an issue for them as the phone isn't dust proof,I'm no way saying its cool as it would annoy some people. I guess best thing is contract them and see what they say mate

It looks like dust to me, but to know it for sure I recomend you to take it to a LG Center.
They may not give you a replacement unit, but at least you will know what the problem is.
