Yup! Now u have no front branding logo & off course no warranty. so how abt. carving TONY PONY in the blank top bezel? Let's see how it looks like!
What say?
Looks like a fake Z1c y'know those ones from China
I removed it too. Screen looks much nicer. But i think the sticky residue was making the screen not smooth to touch and swipe. So i wiped it with alcohol and then put a liquid screen protector (oleophobic coating) and now my compact's screen is so smooth to touch.

It doesn't void warranty. If the screen smashes with or without the ASF then they're obviously not going to cover it. I took the ASF on my XPERIA Z and thinking of doing the same with my Z1C. Looks and feels better.
Whitout the protector screen, you will have scratch on the screen ? Isn't ?

When I had my Xperia S, I had some pretty deep scratches so after 18 months decided to remove the shatter proof sheet. It was like a brand new phone. So I'll do the same with this one; wait until I've scuffed it up properly and then remove it.
i contacted my sony service in croatia and they said that i can remove the ASF without losing my warranty.
i suggest you do the same, to confirm that you loose yours.

Does it affect screen sensitivity at all? I've seen posts that say removing the film leads to supersensitive response and ghost touches when typing etc.
Did not try it yet, but i was going to put a glass screen protector over it so it could level it out

yes, and you can put on display a tempered glass, from nillkin or others.... i have one from nillkin tempered glass 9H over a month and i have no scraches on it .. it`s a very good protector for screen..
some say they have ghost touches without the asf
other say they dont have
is there any explanation for the different behavior of different z1c?
maybe panel-producer?
rest of glue ont sthe screen?
Does it safe? How about water protection?
I just got this phone and planing on doing same thing. But first gonna order the screen protector. About the water protection: Idk really. If you do this really delicate I think it's fine. But if you just gonna pull it very strong it may unseal it a bit . (?) Just my thoughts though.

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.

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.

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
Since I haven't found a thread about this, for those who are curious about the screen protectors that are included in the box.
I've tried them on, its not oleophobic and its not scratch proof. Oh and it makes the phone look less good, because of the funny triangle cutoff they made.
Keeping them on for now till i get my hands on some better quality protectors... (getting Spigen GLAS.t) or might as well go naked glass and remove the antishatter film... but a screen like this.. deserves some extra protection... as long the protection itself doesnt make look bad.
Several threads about this already. In every post that talks about the provided screen protectors, it's been discussed they are not oleophopic, etc.

See if you have applied it properly. The NFC logo does cause a bump in the screen protector. Weird.
You still got the NFC sticker on under the back screen protector?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
My included screen protectors went on the day I had the phone - in my experience the highest chance of scratching, dropping, scuffing or knocking a new phone is in the first few days and weeks when your hands aren't quite used to the shape and size of it.
I'll keep these on until they start looking tatty - which may not be very much longer, especially for the back one - then relace with something nicer.

It was applied perfectly well thank you very much.
Sony confirmed to me that they cause issues with the camera flash in low light conditions and have agreed to replace my phone due to the original factory fitted protectors being scratched.
Please don't jump to stupid conclusions that people don't know how to apply screen protectors. I am almost 40 and have been using mobile phones since the very first bricks and have been applying screen protectors since they first came out also.
Cheers.

I removed the NFC logo. I'm getting my phone replaced and will be putting the new one in a case and having an invisible shield on the front.

I immediately put on the Front AND Back screen protectors included in-box for my C6603 AFTER taking off the NFC sticker, but kept the anti shatter screen on as well, after hearing it was incredibly prone. My XZ hardly picks up any fingerprints or dust, and has no scratches whatsoever. Also, I've found everything about the viewing angles and contrast to really not matter at all in general use - but this is my first phone since the good ol' LG Cookie.
I getting these! http://dx-box.com/imak-anti-fingerprint-layer-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z.html

Problem with camera
After applying protectors included with box .. Camera flash is not so effective and creating problem ... Like blue tint ... Should I remove this protector ..this is. Not anti shatter film it is regular protector
There was suddenly a piece of small plastic that's coming out of the Butterfly. It's located where the black piece of the phone meets the speaker-like mesh on the left side. Looks like it's part of the rubber that prevents water ingress.
It's really small and has a golden brown color. Has anyone else seen this on their phones?
No, do you have some shots of it ?

I think it will be very hard to do a close up shot of it.
little far away shot will also be helpful ...
i saw that before in my previous returned Butterfly (for touch screen malfunction), but don't worry, it is just the exceed glue, it won't impact the phone water resistance quality (told by the service guys, don't blame me if it is not true)
same here!
if it's kinda sticky, yes. it's the same. kinda worried though it might affect the phone being splash-proof.
but hey, it's not the (Sony Xperia) Z that we'll soak in water, is it?
Yep, I've also concluded before that it's just the glue. How'd I know? I peeled the 'speaker-like' sticker and put it back. Yes, it's just a sticker for decoration.
So i am slowly starting to fall for my z3 after having a hard time letting go of my z1, i was first very ehh on the visible speakerholes and curved look, but it grew on me so now i want the logo gone as it would look alot cleaner like my z1, can the front logo easily be scraped off with a needle or something?
Yes if you don't care for your warranty, you would need to completely remove the stock anti shatter glass protection layer, same as Z1.

I'm pretty sure its printed on the reverse. They wouldn't want you to lose that corporate logo.

You may also want a second front camera then? What about putting an additional Sony logo at the bottom, might be easier than peeling the top one off

Assuming you have a black one, the only solution I can think of right now is to add a glass screen protector and to color the inside of the protector black on the place of the logo with a black marker before applying.
Hi,
Just got this phone and I can't be 100% if it has a screen protector fitted to it already or it is one of the normal in box protectors just a bit thicker.
I don't really like it to be honest - I normally don't use screen protectors so wonder if someone removed it from theirs and how it is.
Thanks

It's a factory installed screen protector.. If I'm not mistaken, most honor phones come with one installed.. Like the 7x as well.. Up to you if you want to remove it..

Cheers, that's what I suspected..
The screen feels too resistant and a bit like an old tactile touch screen instead of a smooth 2018 screen with it on.
. I'll try it for a few days before I decide to take it off or not.

If you're on the latest 130 firmware version, touch sensitivity has gone down from the factory 100 version. It might not be the SP fault for low sensitivity..

Without the poly film screen is better. In fact with poly film the touches were sometimes not working and was not that smooth. For better experience you should remove it and use the phone or use any screen protector. Honor can ship something better in future.
The back cover is fine though and looks good with phone
On my phone the screen protector is not applied properly. It is at a slight angle so there is a small gap on the top half between the protector and the edge of the screen. That makes a sliver of brighter screen; it looks a bit weird.
I've just noticed how dirty this screen protector gets. It seems to catch fingerprints into a dull grey film and it doesn't wipe easily. I will have to remove the thing.

I removed mine and i tell u the screen is much better without it. The original screen does not keep finger prints, it gradually fades away.
