ZAGG invisibleShield For Desire S

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

[Q] NEED - Original stock sesnation battery cover

Hello
I need original stock battery cover for sensation. Any 1 know who have it an will deliver in Europe.
Any of u guys have spare or replaced with other iterested in trade ?
My original cover fell from table during cleaning ... damaged... not much but for me that is problem.
Thanx

Where are you currently living?
I know a place in The Netherlands where I've ordered mine.
Is it the metal part that's damaged or 1 of the two plastic things?
Because you can order those seperately
Sent from my HTC Sensation

I am living in Montenegro.
It is only metal part damaged. But i don't think i will disassemble and resemble cover, `cause i don't think it can be easily done and not to be like stock. Probably i will order whole back case assembled [metal part + plastic, antennas ...]

Have you tried eBay?
http://bit.ly/uM7nKG

Nope. First i jave to confirm that original part is on market.

Screen replacement

i just got my screen replacement for my phone and it didnt come with any adhesive, should i see how it feels without the adhesive or just send it in to HTC to fix it

i have been watching a lot of teardowns and they are saying there is no way to replace just the glass, you have to purchase a whole new LCD, but they are selling just screens on ebay so i dont know if it will work

I don't know but by the looks of our hoX..its difficult to separate the glass from the digitizer..i tried it with my friend's HoX and i already tried heating it but it wouldn't separate..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

it is extremely difficult if not impossible to separate the glass from the lcd on our screens unfortunately without damaging one or both of the components. Don't get me wrong, I've seen it been done, but it's very risky. I also dont advise using just any adhesive when dealing with our phones. use the suggested 3m adhesive when replacing the lcd+screen, I think its fairly cheap now. I used some crazy glue I bought at the store and it turned out damaging my screen a bit, so a small strip across the screen didn't recognize touch, which was very annoying. Gonna be replacing it again very soon.

Camera Lens Glass cracked

I cracked the glass on my camera lens. What can be done about fixing it??
I know insurance covers it, but only if I pay the $200 deductible. HTC can fix it for next to nothing in cost, but that requires I mail the phone to california, wait for it to be fixed and for them to mail it back.
I have found the entire back portion of the phone available on eBay for $40 however after closer look, these are all for the HTC One X, not the HTC One XL.
I was talking to a friend of mine and he says the glass is just a very thin piece of protection and you really dont need it so I should just remove it. As it is now, the camera takes extremely blury photos. Any ideas on how best to fix this? If the glass is not important, I might just remove it entirely but it'd be nice if I could fix it somewhat cheaply.

i have to ask how the hell did you crack your lens cover

I'm pretty sure it happened while I was working. I keep my phone clipped into my seidio active holster. The case keeps the phone protected quite well. I've dropped the phone from the height of 4-8' several times, without any adverse effects.
I know the night I was working on a large data/phone cabling job, I am sure I did not drop it. But when I went to take my photos, they all came out blury and I found its cracked. Has two cracks, forming sort of an X. I would bet you that it happened while I was working on the hard tile floor and rolled over on top of something hard like one of my tools or something. Possibly. Still unsure.

I did call AT&T warranty, I was told that they do not cover small issues like cracked glass on the camera lens. They will only replace the phone if it was not working... like a bad micro usb port or something. If I was more sleezy than I already am, I would break it so that I can get it replaced. But I'm not doing that.

THANKS joshua! thats just what I needed. Obviously sending it to HTC would be the proper way of fixing it however I CANNOT afford to be without my phone for even one day, let alone 2-3 weeks. $50 ain't bad, I'll do that.

As in covers, do you mean the housing? If so, that's the whole phone shell other than the screen because it's a unibody... From just looking, I'd just get thecamera bezel with the camera lens. Save some moneyy

Theres the link. According to my research, you cannot so easily just replace the glass. You have to replace the entire back cover, as its all in one.

superchilpil, I believe the link I just posted is for the HTC ONE XL. Should be, it says AT&T.

Agreed..I know because I took my back housing off just the other day, I wanted to see if I could switch just camera lense out but it seems to be one off those sonic plastic welds..the housing and lense cover are fuezed, and it has both option international and at&t version, even tells the difference in the description of the housing lol

Ok I'm aware its all one piece, it's a unibody. But if theyre just selling the bezel/lens piece, it's probably just glued down, being screwed in a good chance also.

They have just the camera housing covers as well (like $4)
Now what someone needs to do is buy and 3d scan those covers and start 3d printing them in different colors

Read up a few posts bro the housing and lense seem to be fused together ( from what I saw when I took mine apart two days ago about to do it again just to be sure lol

Getting a One S for free!!!!

So I have an HTC Sensation right now. Been with T-mobile for many many years. Saw the ad for the free black one s online yesterday and figured I'd try and get it. Well when I tried to upgrade it said i had to pay $150. Called tmobile customer service and they hooked me up! Apparently she couldnt get me a black one. I was a little bummed about that, but shes shipping me the gray blue one for $150 with a $150 mail in rebate. Sweeeet!

This wasnt free

Hey fellas and fellerinas.
My name is Apex, and I'm an alcoholic.
(Just kidding, but seriously)
I recently won a One S from the Big Android BBQ here in Texas. I like it, but have found a few issues with it. It's a 'global' unlocked, unbranded version, and it's pretty sweet.
Any how, just thought I'd introduce myself and hope you guys will go easy on me...
