Chip/Scratch on Xperia Z1 Screen

Hey guys,
I have managed to get chip in my Xperia Z1 screen. Its pretty tiny, but its really annoying me. I'm pretty sure the the damage is only on the shatter proof film, not the screen itself. Is there any way I can have the film replaced? Ive read that if I remove the film I will void my warranty.

The film its not sold separately, you will have to replace the digitizer 
This is my suggestion, buy a scratch resistant film and apply on top or buy a glass screen protector like this

it might hide the scratch

    Do you guys experience white lines appear on your  xperia Z3 screen?

    Thank you all. The dealer actually had exchanged with me another new phone and my current z3 is working fine. It was said that my previous one has defect and its rare.

  • Scratch removal from glass screen.

    Does anyone know how to remove scratch from the glass screen ???

    If there was no screen-guard covering the glass, there is no way to get the scratches removed
    You need to get a new housing for your phone which will include a new glass.

  • Xperia z1 screen broken

    My Xperia z1 screen cracked while in my pocket..Will this be covered under the warranty? Also how do I remove the pattern lock to back up my data and stuff on the PC as i have no touch feedback in that area.
    Also if not covered under the warranty how much will it cost to replace the screen? just a ball park figure would do.
    Thanks

  • Scratches on X100e LCD Screen

    Hi, has anyone had scratches on their LCD screen from the slightly raised buttons below the TrackPointer?
    I keep my X100e in a neoprene (wetsuit material) cover in a padded notebook shoulder bag and have recently had to place thicker adhesive rubber pads on the top corners of the screen to prevent further scratching.
    I've contacted Lenovo but still haven't heard anything from them.
    Does anyone have a direct link I should be using (From Australia)?
    Thanks for your time guys,

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I don't have my digital camera with me this week, only my phone which has a 2 megapixel camera - I'll try and get a couple of decent shots from work.
    I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems. I totally love my X100e - for what it was designed for it really does the job super well. No complaints (apart from the scratches) at all - my first Lenovo purchase and I'm most impressed with the quality of the drivers (Win 7 x64) and utilities, etc.
    I work as a laptop technician and over half the repairs that come in are ASUS systems - even HP's new range of systems have gone downhill. Dell - forget the after market service.
    Thanks again for your time and I look forward to hearing from anyone with advice or comments about this issue.

  • Scratch on ipod touch screen

    Do you have a screen protector on your iPod?

  • Smart Cover scratched my iPad Air screen

    Has anyone else had the Smart Cover scratch their iPad Air screen?  I am very careful with my iPad, and the scratch was not there yesterday.  I use the Smart Cover.  It really is not a smart design to have the part of the cover that goes against the screen be the same part that sits on the desk or where ever the iPad is being placed.  I have tried flipping the cover the other way, but the magnet does not hold and it falls over any time I try touch the screen.  I use my iPad for work, so I have it sitting upright most of my day.  This is really frustrating.  While I have the Apple Care, I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.  It's a small scratch, but it's very visible, particularly when typing notes/documents/emails.  I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.  I am thoroughly disappointed.  Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.

    Has anyone else had the Smart Cover scratch their iPad Air screen?
    I have the smart case, basically the same as the cover, and have yet to experience a scratch in over three years of use.
    I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.
    If it bothers you, you don't have much choice. Isn't that part of the reason you bought Applecare+?
    I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.
    You did not overpay, you paid what Apple charged. No cover is going to protect 100% of the device. The scratch could have come from anything besides the cover. Any cover is better than no cover.
    Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.
    Uh, no. You can have the device replaced with a refurbished model. New case, battery and screen. To get the device replaced is only 10% of the cost of a new device. Use your Applecare+ for what it was intended. Otherwise you paid more for Applecare+ than you did for the cover yet complain about the price of the cover.

  • Xperia lock screen deleted

    My Xperia lock screen got deleted while updating to kitkat, now it's just the normal google lock screen when swipe is selected

    You can go to settings-security and set a PIN/password etc.

  • Xperia Z Screen Cracked & Touch not working..

    Hii.. This is regarding my xperia z phone. I purchased in april 2013, got a replacement Phone in NOV 2013 and now I had my fone in good condition.. I got my scratchguard changed n got a bubble in between.. I pressed vertically so that the bubble may disappear but it cracked my device from the top..        The top part of the cracked screen has lost its touch.. I went to the Service centre talked to the manager And he said that It cannot be replaced as it is out of purchase date.. he told me a figure around 15k to replace the fone..    M using the fone by rotating n all.. I didnt xpect sony xperia Z to b so so so weak.. Its really heartbreaking that i lost my fone while adjusting d screenguard bubble,,  I need SoNy to read my post so that they could provide a better option for me.. 15k is half d price of the fone n i think i deserve a replacement again.. This fone cracked so lightly n lost its touch..  I read that this fone was strong but I think d replacement gave me an already damaged Sony xperia Z.. Its just 5 months n this happens. .  NEED YOUR ATTENTION SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    With due respect i am reporting this issue to mark your attention regarding the virtual damage developed at its own in my xperia z I have purchased the Xperia Z on 2nd Feb 2014During the use of 2 months i got some hanging issue in my phone and i was advised to replace it by sony service center at Faridabad. Howsoever i simply left it there for replacement.After a week i got a phone which was said to be new. At the time of picking it i saw a slight line over the top of screen. That line was hardly visible if you will tilt the phone then you will see it otherwise you will never recognize it.But the executive said that it is not a problem you can use it, if you will face any problem we will further replace it(Because xperia z series can't be open so the replacement was the only option) There after i got a kitkat update and i have upgraded it at my office via wifi.After ward i got a sever problem of heating during calling and regular use.On enquiry from service centre they said it is not a problem it is happening due to some unstable version of google service and advised to uninstall the google service till the next update comes. I have un-stalled and reinstalled it later but no relief regarding the heating problem.One side i was concious about the heating problem and suddenly my phone starts unresponsive many times. Slowly and gradually the slight mark on screen at top stretched to top to bottom and i was helpless because i was in my village where there was no such service centres available. This time my friend advised to approach service center.and i went there to diagnose all these issues. But people at service centre didn't take it under warranty and said its a physical damage.  My question is how it got physically damaged, even there is no clue of broken edges and scratches on screen or around.After my read on google i got my answer that it was not abused by me but some units might have such defects and on sever heating it can be stretched to whole screenfind the reference urlshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/xperia-z-zr-ul-z-ultra-display-issue-1-t2515293/http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/Xperia-z-glass-back-cracked-on-it-s-own/td-p/321733/page/44 current status is under warrantyat technocare solutions pvt ltd service centre at lajpat nagar Delhiissue : touch damage (not considered under warranty)ticket id: 14112202378job no: W114112202378Date : 22 Nov 2014 Please issue a new unit under the warranty condition instead of paid repairing .Other wise i have to appeal consumer court/consumer forums for same. 

  • How do i fix a scratch on iPad mini screen?

    IS there any product I can buy to repair a small scratch on my iPad mini screen?

    You can either put a screen protector over it and ignore it, pay the $219+ for an out of warranty replacement or if you have apple care plus, cash in one of your $49 dollar accidental damage events and get a replacement.

  • Xperia Z2 screen flickers white color white screen is on after receiving notification

    I would like to bring to your notice that i bought new xperia z2 on 14 june 2015, the next day onwards i faced display problem ( screen flickers), i recorded that as evidence and submitted for DOA request after many follow ups i got approval. Yesterday i bought new device xperia z2 from same vendor, as a return of defective piece. I observe same problem with this device also. I lost trust on Sony brand. I am not having time and patience to follow with you within 7 days showing problem as it occurs sometimes, hence i am dropping mail.request you to address the problem. I am not if it is a software bug or hardware issue. After upgrading software from service center problem persists.

  • How much to replace Xperia Z1 Screen

    Basically my z1 has a huge crack in the screen and i want to know how much is it to get replaced with an orginal screen like not those compatible ones or should I say fake.

    This is the LCD screen i found from the third party http://www.witrigs.com/oem-complete-lcd-screen-with-digitizer-replacement-parts-for-sony-xperia-z1-b...,  if you can try to replace yourself, it costs just the price of the LCD screen.
    And with this information, you can go to the service center to ask about the price, make a contrast, then have a choice.

  • Xperia Z2 Screen Self Developed Crack

    Hi
    My Sony Xperia Z2 has developed self-crack on it's front display. I took the phone out from my front pocket and was shocked to see that display has developed self-crack. The glass is not broken from outside but it has developed some sort of crack in the centre of the display because of which touch is not responding. I visited your Dehradun service centre but they refused to accept the phone even though it is still in warranty. I researched over the internet and found that many user faced same issue and your Z series is having this problem but luckily there phone were replaced for free. I am a loyal sony customer from last 4 years and used many sony phones in the past so hope Sony will not disappoint me.
    Please tell me how can I get my phone repaired/replaced. Warranty of the phone is valid till 19th August 2015
    Here are links of some of the posts of the user who faced similar issue

  • Scratched the iPhone 4 screen with a rock, now I have rainbow lines

    So I had the iPhone 4 in the same pocket with a rock, don't ask why. A few mins later, I horrifically realized this, and took the iPhone out. My worst fear had been realized, as it had scratches all along the lower part of the screen. Now, when the screen is on and I'm looking at something which is one or two colors, I can see rainbow lines caused by the scratches. They are really bothersome, and they are making me real sad.
    So what should I do? Anyone got a solution? Or am I screwed?
    Thanks!

    There is one risk. Apple may not replace the glass at no cost.
    They can still replace scratched material for you on the TOS guideline.
    Read section b II of the contract where they don't enlist in self help repair service or non apple service work done. It also says no accidents but don't say that.
