Why doesn’t my touch screen work on my htc hero when I place the screen protector onto it?
I recently purchased a privacy screen protector for my sprint htc hero.When I place the product onto my phone I can not used the touch screen on my phone. Does anyone have any info that would help me out? If so, could you please help?
The HTC Hero is a capacitive screen, the mirror screen protector you got is either too thick, or the material used to make the protector does not allow the screen to stay receptive to touch input. I suggest you try a different brand! I’m using BoxWave’s crystal on my phone with no problems at all. It is incredibly clear, you really cant tell its on there. They also an anti-glare version which is good to reduce glare. Heres a link to a review I found on their anti-glare.

I suggest using tape to remove lint fuzzy’s if any thing gets stuck on the sticky side. Don’t try to use your fingers to pick it out as it will make it worse.
You must buy a protector compatible with this screen
Here is the details for a compatible one .you can order it from HTC website
