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.

Screen Scratch - EASILY SCRATCHED.

I know this probably shouldn't be in the General Section but I just want to help people out! Beware, The HTC Sensation does not have proper gorilla glass, gorilla glass does scratch but not that easily, today I handed over my phone to some friends and I saw them using the phone very carefully but when i got the phone back there were BIG scratches here and there on the screen! Whoever hasn't bought a screen guard PLEASE do so and remember NOT to buy the glare screen guard, but the Anti-glare one. The glare screen protector doesn't work that well under the sun and most of the time you see yourself rather than the UI on the screen even in full brightness. The Anti-glare protector works PERFECTLY.
And also guys, please help me out. The scratches are really minor but irritating. The aren't visible when holding the phone normally or looking at it from the front but when i tilt the screen I can see them. Would getting a screen guard help? Would it hide the scratches?
Sorry if this has been posted already..

I had a couple of scratches on my screen so I put a zagg screen protector on. I can't see any scratches on my screen anymore.

Thanks a lot for replying. Unfortunately, that company isn't available here in my country. So would a normal screen guard by a good company do?

Can you post some pics?

Funny you mentioned that.
Before I returned my old unit for some issues, I did a scratch test using keys and the blade edge of scissors. I couldn't make any scratches although I was hitting the screen fairy hard...

magic. I'm the unlucky one I guess

Sorry for repost and BUMP - Is amzer a good company? Should I order the protector?

I always keep one pocket free for "the phone pocket"... I mean sure it's gorilla glass and all, just like my galaxy S was, but I don't want to test it out!
Sorry to hear that the OP was having issues. It seems very strange that a finger could cause scratches like that... Was there some kind of debris around? Like sand or something?

It is Gorilla Glass, and it isn't scratch proof:

It's not actually a SCRATCH! Like a hard one, it's big thats why its visible when i tilt my phone and when i put my nail across the screen to check whether it's a scratch, i can feel it.

I think any screen protector will work.

You aren't getting a reply , because people don't know. Buy one and see for yourself. Screen protectors aren't expensive. I just bought 8 for under 10$

The hTC Sensation has Gorilla Glass

It's because your screen protector, those things aren't scratch proof. I had the same problem.

Oh wow, even the G1 used Gorilla Glass. That was long time ago and before other manufacturers started bragging about their Gorilla glass equipped gadgets. The same goes for back-illuminated camera sensor. Only Apple made a big deal out of it, while EVO 4G (saw it in iFixit teardown) and possibily also other HTC phones also used back-illuminated sensors.

again i had my phone since 6/16/2011 it stay in my cargo pants pocket with keys and everything else still my phone have know scratches all i get is finger prints wich is supposed to be finger print resistance

I may not call it a scratch. It's just irritating ordered the amzer protector.

evo 4g was supposedly gorilla glass. The one day i was rocking it without a case (the superbowl, i was a little buzzed) my buddy took me on a beer run got out of the car with phone on my lap and it skidded across the cement screen down. i flipped **** picked it up only to have a scratch on the top left plastic the screen was fine.
So you let you friends see ur phone and they handed it back with scratches? Id beat some ass thats not cool

Who isn't using a screen protector?

If not, any scratches? Even light scratches?

none so far

I'm not and o have yet to discover any marks still want to invest in a screen protector but its hard to find a decent one!

I just took mine off and now the screen looks SOOOOOOO sexy and feels so smooth.
I would hate to get scratches, but I'm going to take the risk. It's just so much better without a screen protector.

I have a few small scratches on my screen, but they are very light scratches that do not affect the look of the screen. Half the time I dont notice them unless I hold the screen so it shines in the light...

I have one cm square of scratches, stupidly put my keys in my pocket with the phone :'(

I had a screen protector for a while, but took it off because I botched the install and it had too many bubbles. I actually took it off to install another protector, but I liked it so much naked that I left it. Been that way for 3 weeks and I haven't had any scratches. Don't drop it, don't put anything next to it in your pocket, and in general be careful with it and it should be fine.

Running without and no scratches at all. Feels better without the condom.

No scratches yet.... waiting for the protector to come in the mail.... followed by a case

You should invest on one quickly because mine scratches pretty easily. And I don't even have nails. Lol.

I've used it without a screen protector for my first one and no scratches. I final put one on my 4th Sensation. I used the Skinomi and it feels nice and thin. Was worried about it not feeling as smooth, but it is nice and very responsive still .

i'm not using it , i had HD2 for 2 years and even my ruff use which made the battery cover looks crap but the screen was so clean of scratches so i don't feel i need it for the sensation , just got a good case to protect the back and the edges and THAT'S IT

Its got gorilla glass...so how could it even suffer from scratches in the first place?

Get one ASAP! i didn't have one on mine the first month, and it's scratched in the bottom part, and some other places around the screen, and i have been very careful with it, i always carry it in my left pocket, where i doesn't have anything else, and never lay it screen down etc.
My old hero has a lot tougher glass than this one.

Drag a diamond across the glass and report back?
Kidding aside, the screen protector in the accessories forum feels almost as good as bareback.

I ordered two when I first got it, but I am yet to put them on, I need a some form of sticky dust remover to remove the fine particles/lint from cleaning (almost like contact but not as much adhesive, like a removable/reusable sticker).
I never got any scratches on my old iPhone with the crappy $10 replacement glass and digitizer from ebay, so **touch wood** I think I will be fine.

im not havent since i got it. No scratches at all with normal everyday pocket use. i mean its a risk but everyone knows its better without a condom

same here, never used a screen protector on my phones. My old Sony P1 still has no scratches, used my HTC Desire for a year without a cover and it has no scratches (on the screen that is) and had my Sensation for while no, no marks on the screen what so ever (I did get the first scratches / parts where the paint is gone) on the side because I dropped it two times in a row :S.

What I said in another thread..
xSeany said:
It's a personal preference. I've had my phones bare. (MyTouch 3G, Nexus One, Nexus S, G2, Droid 2)
I've only had a case for my Nexus S, because it was really cheap at work and was the same concept as the Otterbox. I've tried Zagg sheilds on my Nexus One, Nexus S, G2, and Droid 2. And I can easily say they bug the crap out of me. I can feel a difference in quality of touch response, as well as comfort(too much friction).
However, some people live by these products. I can't stand them though, and I've tried to get used to them. They're great if you're careless about your phone. I always make sure my keys are in my left pocket, and phone is in my right pocket. Out of all the phones I've owned, only the Nexus One had a scratch on the screen, and it wasn't really noticeable. In fact, I would still use it, if there weren't dust/sand underneath the screen(left it in sand at the beach for about an hour one day....).

So no, I dislike screen protectors, and most cases for that matter. But I'm more likely to use a case than use a screen protector.

No scratches what so ever. I do have a dedicated pocket, Lefty, for my phone. That is all that goes in there.

gorilla glass?

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
does anyone have experience getting best buy to exchange phones broken by user error? lol

We've been talking about this for eighteen pages on the international forum. There's also a thread on the SGS3 forum with owners having the same issue. It appears GG2 is less scratch resistant than GG1. I don't normally use a screen protector but am now after reading people's experiences.

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.

"The 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD 2 display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is the new version that's thinner and stronger. We first saw the Gorilla Glass 2 back at CES 2012, though the glass manufacturer did not reveal then which handsets will be featuring the technology. HTC also told us that the One X features optical lamination, a process through which the screen ends up laminated to the glass, resulting in better viewing angles. We found this to be true, and having the screen so close to the glass makes it appear brighter and more visible under sunlight."

What do you guys do to these phones? I have an aria and inspire. I am a truck driver. I have dropped the phones a time or two. I have had them jump out of the clamp type mount on rough roads. 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).

What happened to the gorilla glass in the HTC One S?

Hello guys, I just want to share with you something that, for me, its a big problem since this is supposed to be a powerful smartphone with some of the best technologies available....
I have with the phone 3 weeks so far, I have never had a single protector screen on any of my older smartphones (htc hd2, HTC inspire, HTC sensation, and the actual HTC One S) and never had a a single scratch on any of them, EXCEPT FOR THE HTC ONE S..!
yesterday I went out with my friends and after going back to home I checked my phone and didn't noticed any scratch on it (i always use my left pocket to my phone only)..
But today when I woke up I grab my phone and noticed a big scratch with many microscopy scratches around the big one, and that's WITH DOING NOTHING, I HAVENT DROP MY PHONE AND I DONT PUT IT WITH KEYS OR COINS
I'm from Mexico and here, there is not screen protectors to buy one to my HTC one S (i don't like to use them anyway)
What could be wrong with this phone that get easily scratched? As far as I know this phone has gorilla glass 2 so its supposed to be very resistant to scratches :S
Any way to remove those scratches??
Thanks guys hope someone Give a feedback or advices about this big HTC one S problem

Unfortunately, like all glass, a single speck of sand can scratch your phone. You can take a sharp knife to your phone and scratch away but it won't do anything. However, if you have some sand, or some small pieces of hard particulate dirt, then when it rubs against your screen, it will scratch it.
At least, that's my understanding. I know the glass has been chemically treated to prevent this, but it's still glass at the end of the day.

No glass is truly scratch-proof. Gorilla glass is just more resistant than others.

There are people that have gotten in car accidents going 100+ mph and walked away with no permanent damage and there are people who have fallen or bumped their heads in very minor ways and ended up dead. Breaking or scratching your phone is the same way. You may drop it 10 times and think "this thing is indesctructable!" Then the 11th time you drop it, bam, instant paperweight. Or, you could be unlucky and get the paperweight on the first hit. These things are too expensive (and these days, too slippery) to not have some form of screen protection and case. I'm extremely careful with mine, but still manage to drop it from time to time. That's why it's in a case. I also have screen protection.

That's what I'm arguing....
My HTC sensation had gorilla glass 1 and I dropped it several times from different distances and not a single scratch, and with this suddenly appears a very fat, ugly, and nasty scratch that in sunlight its like a sticker on my phone

I'm pretty sure SOMETHING caused the scratch. You just aren't aware of what it was. Getting scratches happens just like I said above. You could treat the thing bad and have nothing happen and then get a scratch seemingly from out of no where.

Do you know how tempered glass works? A 1cm drop onto the right location on the glass can cause it to shatter. Well, maybe not 1cm, but the height isn't what does the glass in.

If you can prove that on the night when you got scratches that you did not have any tiny tiny particles of dirt in your pocket, that are common in the air especially if you're not in a clean room, then yes, I think your scratches came out of nowhere and you should start a religion.
However, what's more likely is you don't realize that your jeans might have particulate silica sand in the material, or that at one point some really really fine pieces of sand floating in the air landed on your hand as you put your hand in your pocket and got rubbed off.

Scratch resistant, not scratch-proof.
If even a single tiny speck of sand touched the screen, it would probably leave a micro-scratch. Unless they start depositing a layer of diamond on top of the glass, it will scratch over time.

Really the only way to get rid of the scratches is if you could somehow fill them with the same material that was removed. Not very easy, and I doubt you will find something like that at a reasonable price. Or by buffing the scratch out, but that is much more dangerous.
