I bought this phone with a broken screen, glass itself was not broken, only screen under it. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered a replacement and install went fine. All works but touch sensitivity is not so good, is it common with these cheap replacement screens, or could it be a poor quality glass screen protector, that came with the screen and I put it on right away?
This was the screen I got, I had to use alcogol to clear out the honor logo, they had painted (!?) it with black paint. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Huawei-Honor-8-LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Assembly-Replacement-Film-Free/182917269530?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=690229245057&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
It could be the screen protector, I've had them with other phones and the sensitively was affected. That would be the easiest thing to check, and the cheapest.
You can try to activate the glove mode if it doesn't work after removing the screen protector. The glove mode increases the sensitivity.

I am asking because I noticed that the new screen is not as sensitive as previous ones (currently using it with factory film over front panel) and you do need to press harder, some finger gestures not working well.
On the other hand, this screen is supposed to be very durable due to new technology, so maybe no need to use screen protector at all ?
If you want scratch your screen while using your device, then you can just use your Diamond without the screen protection....

It depends also on the quality of your screen protection...
Is one needed? Well thats a matter of taste?
Is the included HTC one any good? Yes its excellent. Applies easily and is very clear... however it scratches very easily. This is no reflection on the actual screen of the Diamond itself, as it would take an awful lot more to scratch the actual screen.
the screen is excellent. much more responsive than on the other devices I've had, and yet I never used a screen protector on my universal or my athena. I wouldn't consider not using a screen protector as the diamond has been a bit of a scuff magnet, despite me keeping it in a leather case. I'm hoping backs for the device will be easy to come by!
you silly if you dont use a protector on this device imho
Of course without screen protector! I'm using touch screens 5 years now...SonyEricsson P800 era...till now none of my devices have been scratched!
Also the usability sucks big time with screen protectors!
If HTC really believed the Diamond can survive without a screen protector, why is one supplied inside the original package ?
Depends on your usage I suppose.
With my last 6-8 phones, I've never used any screen protection or even case and none of them got any scractch.
I always put my phone in my shirt/pants pocket, never in the same pocket with keys or coins.
With the Diamond, I only put the screen protecter only because HTC provided it. If they didn't give me one, I wouldn't even bother buying one. (Yes, still no scratch with my original HTC protector as well)
agree with techdave I have had 5 phones and I try to immediately cover it with screen protector, one time I waited for abit and end up have a scuff mark from something. As the saying goes 'sh*t happens' so why risk damaging your phone especially a beautiful one. I actually ordered one for the back too now, I really dont see it affecting the screen as some people say but they prob got some thicker cheap ones that prob will affect it.
I think of it this way, when I come to sell the phone all i have to do is remove the protectors and it will be good as new!
oh and I sold 4 of them with no complains of wear or tear!
It truly depends what kind of person you are. If your the kind that doesn't care about there Diamond and throws it everywhere then you need a protector. But if your the neat kind that his heart rips out when you see a scratch your probably are not going to need a protector,its really up to you
I really need it with my diamond.
never needed it with my touch
but this screen scratches soooo fasstt..
it looks better without,
but this is better then with scratches
The factory shipped screen protector for the Diamond is EXCELLENT. I hated these before and on all my other models I have not used them or removed them after a day. The diamond on is different - you just do not notice it is there. Therefore, my advice - use it!
Anyone fine the supplied HTC protector scratches the screen real easily?
Ive had my diamond for no more than 2 weeks and I have 3 fine scratches already. At £9.99 a pair for thes protectors, it isnt cheap.
the oem diamond screen protector does scratch easily...(the actual protector not the phone) once ive had my use out of the oem protector im going to use a martin fields protector as i hear they are the best.
Just stuck the screen protector on and I have the say it is really good. I managed to get it on perfect no bubbles at all. A few of my friends didn't even notice the screen protector was on. so far so good no scratches yet only had it on for 1 day.

I dispositioned a corner by 1mm on side, that resulted in a nasty unglued stripe there about 2-3 mm wide ... now looking for something really sharp to cut that mm off
It seems that many people believe that the diamond screen is more immune toward scratches, because it is protected by tempered glass.
The truth is that on top of the tempered glass, there is the touch surface, which is much less resistant to scratches than tempered glass (so it's touch surface => tempered glass = > lcd screen).
actually, the touch surface is below the plexiglas. that's why you have to press so hard. it's a resisitve touch surface, so you can see that it only interacts if you actually press the plexiglas so hard that it bends.
plexiglas can be very hard, but because the touch surface is resistive, they had to use soft plexiglas which is not scratch resistant at all.
anyway, I had a screen protector on my diamond and yesterday it somehow fell off the table. And a SCRATCH aaargghh! wait! it's only on the screen protector!
So I'd say you definitely need one.
What's a good screen protector?
gorilla glass,so don't need it
btw the best screen protector is by BRANDO
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.
There are many conflicting reports on the web re the screen, where does it state that it has Gorilla Glass.
Wrapsol, Google it or YouTube it..

lg italy on twitter.
nah, my opinion would be don't use any screen protector. the screen already has a stereoscopic film w/c makes the display a bit pale. so putting on a screen protector might affect the viewing quality more... been using mine for some time now and still doesn't have a single scratch on the screen(*crossing fingers)...
So now that the phone is released who is going to be putting screen protectors on them and does anyone know what the best method is for putting a screen protector on.
I have a screen protector on mine (don't trust the phone yet, nor do i have a whole lot of trust in myself). 3D still works great and the 2D viewing experience is, in practice, unaffected. Installation depends on the kind of screen protector you are going to use.

How did you put your screen protector on?
Well, i just put it on.
It's a PIXXENO C82RS (crystal clear, no adhesive). The only difficulty is aligning the screen protector properly since you'll notice even half a milimeter. Besides that you should pay close attention to dust since you would notice that as well beneath the protector. But it's relatively thick and easy to apply without airbubbles.
I'm looking to get a nice screen protector for mine too. btw, so happy with this phone! everyone I show is blown away by the 3d! usually saying "I thought it would be a gimmick but thats really good!"
For my wifes iphone I just got a generic screen protector and used a drop of water to apply and a baby's plastic spoon (solid but soft enough not to scrach/mark the plastic) to push any bubbles out.
Brando ultra clear screen protector became available few days ago - I've just ordered one.
Currently I have Proporta's universal 4.5" protector. It's better than nothing, but I feel it's too thick and doesn't adhere completely to the screen at the edges. (I know 4.5" is different than O3D's nominal 4.3" screen diagonal, but the protector almost perfectly covers the screen + keys, everything except upper area with front camera.)
I bought screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S, it perfectly fits the Optimus P920 screen, i only cut about 1-2cm at the bottom. The whole screen of P920 and touch buttons is covered, its really perfectly fits to Optimus 3D
I bought two packed pieces of it for about 6,50€ .
Just applied Brando ultra clear protector to the screen. Very happy with it, it's nearly 100% transparent.
Naturally I hate putting on screen protector or cases on my phone. I came from SGS to O3D and I didn't need a screen protector (a real gorilla ). Unfortunately I have seen some little scratches on my O3D . It looks like I will be parting with this phone sooner
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.

gorilla glass only goes so much if you have, for example, specks of sand in your pocket or if the phone falls in gravel/tarmac..
Screec Protectors FTW
Could anyone recommand a good (tested!) screen protection that have the properties of anti-glare and anti-fingerprint? Some ebay links?
I´m using EXIM screen protectors: http://shop.eximstyle.com/ quality is good, price is cheap and fitment is perfect.

Hi all, just a quick post to let you guys know my experience with a matte screen protector i bought.
The reason i bought this one was because of the fast and free 2-day delivery just because i needed one. I got 5 very small scratches on the curved side of my screen and i was surprised about how fast it scratched compared to my S2 which has been in the same pockets.
So the main issue with this screen protector is that the screen got a bit blurry but worst of all: i see some kind of buzz going all over my screen, like when its wet. I can see red, blue and green pixels, mainly red and green though, only blue when i look carefully.
Maybe its because its a bad and cheap screen protector or because of the high density of pixels on the note 4, i dont really care as it is only a temporary screen protector but its very very very annoying.

I've tried to capture a photo but it was not visible so i cant show it to you guys.
The problems you described were actually the characteristics of a Matte Screen Protector.. I can't technically explain it to you as I dont know how it is made, but thats how it is.
Yeah I was just gonna say, all matte screen protectors look like that. Nothing new here lol.
I using one now and ordered the anker ones should be here soon. The benefits of no fingerprints and no reflection are good.
Something tells me "smartphonehoesjes.nl" isn't going to be the best of all websites to buy a screen protector (even though it means cover in Dutch), maybe that's just me. Get a tempered glass screen protector, it's worked great for me. I have MIME Ghost Glass. Not cheap though.
That's simply how matte screen protectors work. You have not received a defective product.
Has anyone found any screen protectors that fit properly? I've bought and tried two different ones (a tempered glass and a non-tempered glass) and neither of them stick to the sides of the screen. The left and right sides of the screen don't seem to allow the screen protectors to stick properly.

No simple screen protector will fully cover since it has 2.5d glass edges.

i bought that exact one. it's also too narrow on the sides and not full coverage like they advertise.
New user, so can't post a link, but search Amazon (they're prime too so you'll get them ASAP) for:
Le Pro 3 Screen protector, MicroP(TM) Full Screen 9H Hardness Ultra-thin Tempered Glass Front LCD Screen Protector for LeTV LeEco Le Pro 3 (Gold full coverage)
Just received and applied it to two Gold Le Pro 3's and they fit PERFECTLY edge to edge. They don't bulge or float off of the slightly curved edges and they look completely stock over the entire screen and top/bottom. Not entirely sure about the scratch protection or shock absorption quality yet but I'll check back in and update everyone in a while after these protectors get some use.
UPDATE: Sadly, after a few days use, I can confirm that the above protectors had the edge issues mentioned in another post. These problems are exacerbated by the case fitting so tightly that it actually "pushes" the screen protector and causes the (small amount) of sticky stuff on the sides of the screen protector to lose their grip. This allows a slight bubble of air on the sides of the phone which totally messes up touch. Back to Amazon and I'll just deal with a non-full coverage protector.
UPDATE #2: I attempted to install a 3rd party case on my wife's Pro 3 which had the "full size" protector and it ended up cracking the damn glass because the case forced a corner of the protector up at an angle. Anyone else who considers using these, please be aware of the issue (not sure why anyone would want to use them anyway due to the screen edge issues).
Hello
did anyone tried or can recommend a tempered glass protector for our phone that will cover all the screen, all the edges
I have tried many so far either transparent or else, but they always leave a certain margin on the side of the phone
I would like a screen glass that cover 100% of the screen please
any recommendation on eBay ?
I have a Nillkin 3D CP+ MAX. It covers the screen pretty well. But it has two issues:
- The transparent zone it's a bit (<0.5mm) smaller than phone's screen, and you notice that there's some part of the screen covered by the black sides.
- The biggest issue is that from 3 covers I tried on 3 different A8s, in two of them the proximity sensor is blocked. While applying the cover I activated the sensors test and It was impossible in the two cases to properly apply the cover without triggering the proximity sensor. I don't know what's wrong with them but that's my experience.
