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.
I've got a casemate can't fault it

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

Or just ignore it and enjoy your phone. Does it do it during normal use, or just after you pressed hard on the corners because the OP told you to?
If it moves and makes a noise every time you TOUCH your screen during normal use, I would say it's an issue. If you have to force it by pressing hard, I wouldn't worry about it. Basically did you notice it before the OP brought it up?
It's really not a big deal or even noticeable unless you actually look for an issue...plus the case covers it up...and if you are concerned about something like this, you ought to be using a case anyways, ha.
I'm the op . It was really bad on my inspire. Touching the menu button made the phone click. If they all do it I'm not going to worry about it

If its annoying you then replace it, you just run the gamble of having some other issue that people are having. I personally think because of how hard I usually am to my phones and because I don't use a case this thing is going to be creaking and making all kinds of sounds in no time so I just wont care about it now.
Its like your first brand new car HAS to be perfect and you take it back for every rattle or squeak, by the 4th or 5th you think of it more as a tool that serves a function in your life and the squeaks and rattles don't take priority.
A brand new, freshly delivered, white hox and an equally new gray hox. Neither one has banding,.light bleed or squeaky corners. My squeaky inspire was horrible. And yesterday the volume rocker decided to fall off of the inspire as well.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Lol I noticed this earlier and didn't think much of it. Definitely creaking. Not sure if worth an exchange tho.

Welcome to XDA, where we probe our phones until we find a issue. Lol. Mine doesn't do it unless I go hulk on the corner, which I will never do under normal use. So it's fine to me.
No problems here
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Can't speak for the OP, but I think some people are intentionally looking for problems with the phone. i.e. doing things that wouldn't occur during normal operation, such as pushing down on the screen edges.
So far my phone hasn't had a single issue.
i dont push down hard on the buttons so i dont know
Mine has some give but no sound. Nothing i would've noticed if the op had never brought it up

I looked for it on this phone because, like dust under the screen, it seems to follow HTC around from device to device.
I'm not one to freak out over little stuff like this, but I just wanted to get the info out there in case it wasn't an isolated incident/defect on MY device.
I'm having the same issue on the bottom left corner. It started to randomly make a clicking noise and then I found this topic. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one but I would rather have a perfect phone!!
I've also noticed the small gap in the lower left allows a little bit of light out so out looks like the seal isn't perfect, hence the clicking too I guess.
I would return it to HTC but after reading other people's posts, it's likely that I could just get another bad one.
Sigh. £400 and it still has issues.
The bottom left of my HTC One X has a little give but I dont think its anything major that should be taken very seriously

I am on my third device after two TEP warranty replacements in about a year. Both times I had to have it replaced, the device simply turned off and refused to ever turn back on again. The phone techs at the Sprint store couldn't fix or explain it, so naturally under TEP I was issued free replacements. I suspect something on the mainboard decided to give out, although nothing visibly was awry according to the techs.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or any similar stories?
I still have the one i picked up last year

Still using the OG Shift I picked up last February.
Issues: proximity sensor, keyboard and softkey lights don't work, fried original battery, "water damage"... And I'm sure there's more that I'm overlooking. I'll probably try and make this one last until I upgrade (Novemberish).

One shift but 2 batteries and 2 Screens/Cover. Only thing original really is the board.
Shifted from Outer Space
Ive gone through 3. First one had major overheating issues.
Second one was my fault for dropping it and cracking it.
3rd one going strong ,although a mothers purse has put that thing through hell . I cant stand to look at it without crying
And like quite a few else the silver letters are gone on mine from the back cover

Yeah I broke the clips that hold the back piece on thru various battery pulls and such. I just gave them a call and asked for a new one and they just sent one over... come to think of it they didn't actually ask for any proof of purchase either time... this might be something that could easily be abused lol

On my original Shift, about a year old now and I don't use a case. Headphone jack is dying and the "f" key has to be pressed a little harder than normal, but everything else is in great shape.
7 or 8.

I have this too because I lightly stepped on my screen and there's about two or three marks. I'm assuming the only way to fix it would be to replace the screen. I think I may have damaged the hardware too because the screen shuts off randomly some times.
You probably need a new "digitizer"
If you look on ebay they are currently selling for around $60
Also go to youtube and look for a tutorial on how to do it. Here is one I found - search on this
ASUS eee pad Transformer Disassembly part 1
I just got a refurbished tf700 and noticed the screen lifting along the longer edges. I have another Asus tablet that is fine so didn't expect this l, even though I've read it isn't uncommon. I have the opportunity to get a replacement, though there is no guarantee it'll be any better. Just wondering if there is a fix for the lift if needed. Tablet is good otherwise.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
My new TF700 wasn't any better after a return for unrelated reasons. I had some screen lifting but it wasn't severe enough for me to return the tablet but other things were going on. I just figured that would be resolved when I got a new tablet. Turns out the new one had minor screen lift, just in different places. I guess that is what I have to deal with since I've had two perfect nexus 7's
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
I haven't heard of any crazy issues with excessive screen lifting -- but be sure to check again just to be sure! Several users have reported re-fixing the glue by VERY gentle heating (going slow is key here!) with a hair dryer.
Thanks. Making me wonder if I should just keep the one I have then. It isn't super noticeable, but I clearly see it since I use it most. My nexus 7 is perfect and I use that just about every day for the past 5 months.

Meh, mine does sometimes, but I do not have the feeling that is a quality issue. Also, in my case at least, the screen lifting is not that bad.
My lift is just at edges so touching the screen has no impact, yet. It looks like they pried it apart to do the refurb and maybe didn't seal it back properly
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Even mine occasionally clicks, so does my sgs3. It's normal, there's space between the different components. It's not a vacuum
As for the screen lift, no, dont have that. Mine's European, by now we've established that the quality demands for the EU are higher. Best Buy units tend to have those issues, though.
