Ok, i've had a problem with it, first i removed the protector that was as large as the device and made the screen very ugly, then i got the one from the box and putted it on, every air-bulb was gone when i kept rubbing etc.
1 stayed, under that bulb there was something white, i found out it was a 'piece' of dust.
It was kind of annoying so i removed the screen-protector, now when im trying to put it on i get lots of 'dust-bubbles',
Anyone has an idea of how to do it or should i just leave my diamond without the screen protector?
Protection
Personally i prefer to have a screenprotecter on my device. I can recommend invisible shield. its very durable and will not be scratched. check it out on www.zagg.com
If you remove the protector, then there will alway be dust next time, because the dust get stuck to the protector glue. (I have also remove mine several times)
I have tried zagg, but I can't recommend it. It is a little sticky (which they also says on their homepage) and I don't like that. The floating feeling is gone. It is also not that invisible.
I have selected to buy a new original protector, and will use that.
The trick to get it on without bobbles is to start on the long edge and then slowly add it. (Keep the 'paper' on as long a possible).

The original is washable. Wash it and dry it with a paper towel that sucks in the water bubbles, wipe dry and clean your screen and reapply it.
By the way, this goes to Accessories forum.

I did this and the dust keeps coming at the protector and my phone and there will be bubles because the dust gives it a 'height-problem'..
I bought invisible shield for mine, its pretty nice after say 4 days from install.
For first 2 days it might seem really bad but it gets much better.
I somehow scratched it without even noticing it, so I sent picture to zagg and they sent me new one. Even though scratch was very minor.

hi. this my first post on this web site
excuse me for my bad english
i have a diamond and i remove orginal screen protecter because i write sms with letter recorgnizer and the area that i write words on the screen become white and scratch. i remove orginal and buy a new one that for iphone. i cut it for my phone size and apply it. its sooo much stiky and i have a problem like orginal one.i wnat to remove it and when i do it a tiny layer of glue stand on my diamond screen. i can't clean it. and it give a bad scene to my diamond.
what's your idea. i give u a pichture from my diamond screen.
Perhaps you could use isopropyl alcohol, usually it will remove glue without damaging the plastics surface (in that case: your display). DON'T USE nail polish remover, acetone or even benzine, it will remove the glue too - but your display would look "milky". You can get isopropyl alcohol at the pharmacy.
Tell us if that helped you

I didn't get a screen protector with mine... I mean, I had a shipment protector with a little tab for peeling off, but nothing came with it for long term use. It's a Sprint, did they just not include one?
the exim screen protector is very good and smooth
I always use the Brando screenprotectors. See their online shop. They ship worldwide for only $ 3,00 shippingcosts.
It is very easy to install, easy to clean, 100% garanteed scratch free and very durable.

I've got a Sprint Diamond too, and didn't think I got a protector either, but it was in the separate bag that has the manuals. It should have come with one...Wish it woulda come with an extra one too, oh well.
I had the same problem with misalignment and dust bubbles with the HTC protector on my first few tries...i did however fix the problem...
Take the protector off and clean off the phone...use a microfiber cloth to get all the dust and oil off...after its super clean...take the protector and wash it off with some mild soap...rub the soap in with your fingers and get it clean. Be sure to note which side is down. After its clean, hold it around the edges and let the water bead off...i blew on the protector to get residual water off...some water is ok...actually helps with the install...the basically carefully apply it still holding the sides making sure not to leave finger prints. Start from the top and work your way down... i used a credit card pushed against the microfiber cloth to squeegie the protector down...be carefull with the few drops of water. After you have it down...there might be little bubbles or what looks like water spots where water is trapped under the screen...dont worry...just use your phone and leave it alone. Once it heats up from the excessive phone use it will start to dry up and the protector will come out very nice and smooth. Mine is flawless and i did the wash with soap apply and remove at least 3 or 4 times to get it right...Just be patient
I use screen protector from martinfields, what do you say about, anyone have one??
I think the best in market
My HTC one got a nasty scratch in it last week, so I ordered a Martin Fields.
It arrived this morning and I've got it on without any problems. So far I've noticed:
- It's not a perfect fit like the HTC one was. The hole for the speaker at the top is larger than the hole in the phone. It's not bad though.
- The visibility of the screen does seem better than the HTC protector, but I don't know if it's just the placebo effect of having a more expensive protector.
- It was _easy_ to put on, no bubbles at all
- The protector for the bottom buttons is awful. The circle is just the right size to completely hinder using the touch wheel and it's obvious that you've got a piece of plastic on there.
- It seems smoother than the original HTC one when using the stylus.
So far I'm impressed with it. I didn't bother with the camera hole or bottom hard buttons. The in box HTC one was fine for me, but when I got a scratch on it (my stylus somehow developed a sharp edge), it annoyed me.
I'm using the one supplied as standard with a uk CompactIV and it's great- you can hardly tell it's thereand the sensitivity seems fine.
I have 24 diamond screen protectors. Because i bought 24 diamonds and sold them all without screen protectors so i am sorted untill i buy another phone.
After using the martin fields one for a couple of days, I think it's great.
The screen looks much brighter and clearer through it (I thought the HTC one was great, but I do notice the difference). Plus the smoothness is brilliant, theres pretty much no friction for the stylus or fingers
where can i purchase the htc screen protector? the original that comes in the box...
Hey!
Well today I got my first scratch that is visible with the screen turned on. I heard that you can remove scratches with a product called 'Brasso', but I was wondering if this will cause more damage to my screen. Is it safe to use on my phone? And will it damage my screen more?
Thanks in advance!
I thought Brasso was for cleaning metal, I didn't know it had any effect on plastic.
In the past I have taken scratches out of plastic with both Jewellers Rouge (a fine white powder used to take scratches out of glass), and T-Cut (a auto-body pain restorer with a mild abrasive). Either technique will possibly result in a highly polished area, but this is unlikely to be noticeable when switched on - maybe even less so if you put a screen protector on.
I know the phone isn't glass, but I've taken a very noticeable scratch out of a glass TV screen before now - a scratch with pixels behind seems to magnify, and so makes it very noticeable. You could see the repair when the TV was off, but it looked perfect when the TV was on.
Obviously, there's always a risk you could make things worse by trying to take the scratch out.
Cheers,
Steve.
I was peeling off my bodyguardz screen protector to put on a new one, and the darn thing was so stuck to my screen it took a lot of force to peel it off. As I was pulling it away I noticed that my "screen" seemed to be lifted off my HTC fuze!! After I kept pealing I noticed from the side that there was a film that was peeling off that had adhesive to the screen with the body guardz. I'm too scared to proceed and have left my phone that way.. my question is there a protective film (not counting any sort of screen protector even the one that comes with the fuze) on top of the screen, and that was what was peeling off? Is that film important for the touch screen itself aside from protecting it (or does it keep some part of the screen in place etc etc).
Thanks in advance, the screen does turn on and is still touch sensitive but I'm too scared to peel off the rest of the body guardz that have that "film" come off with it.
Someone removed that and lost their touchscreen so be scared IMHO.
aaahhhhh can you link me to that post? I tried doing a search, I cant separate that film from the bodyguardz either... =(
I think it is the digitizer that is comming off, or part of it anyways... the only thing I could find online is this

Hello again
So
After giving it a lot of thought, i decided to disasamble my phone to see if i can get rid of that stain. I have to say that it was a bit difficult to folow the guide but i finaly opened my cruise.
In the end i realised where was my problem.
The digitizer has 2 components:
A glass layer witch is on the bottom, and a plastic one (on top) witch are keppt together by twosided adhesive tape.
The "stain" was caused by the plastic layer, witch for some reason wasn't staying straight (it had a small bump...).
I figured this out when i pealed this layer from the glass one, witch i shouldn't have done because the layer has a connection with the glass and the small ribbon witch goes into the mb.
So for any of you, if you encounter my problem, better let it that way, cause the alternative will be a new digitizer.
I'll go to the htc service in romania to see how much will they charge me for a new one, and if the amount is to much, i'll try to order one from the web(altho not that many companies ship to my country )
Wish me luck.
LE: I have a question thow
How can you remove the digitizer from the casing ?
I tryed to pull it but i was afraid to damage something (else).

Heres a link to the picture the guy with the polaris took... the HTC black bordered part is still on the screen but there is a film sitting on top of it thats peeling off with the bodyguardz.
This is a cruise polaris and not a raphael but I think this post is referencing the same thing. Does anyone have any advice to give me? My phone is still sitting there with half of the "digitizer" peeled off stuck to the bodyguardz grrrrrrr
bump...........

That has happened to me as well. I'm afraid you'll just have to get another digitizer off ebay.
ughhh!! any help on the assembly?
Spray some of the liquid that came with it on the touchscreen (underneath the bodyguardz screen protector; spray little by little or use your finger) and it should come off with a little less effort without tearing out the screen. That's what I did. Btw, make sure you turn off your phone and dry it before you turn it back on if you do that
I used my Nexus S without a screen protector, and there was one day when I was using the phone heavily, this part of the screen felt a little rough to the touch when I was swiping it.
Now when I look at the screen I see these faint track marks on the screen that aren't scratches, but it's like something smudged the screen. I have wiped it with microfibre cloth (My Oakleys pouch) but I can't remove this smudge.
It's barely visible when the screen is on but you can see it if the screen is off.
Does anybody else have this problem? Is it a scratch or can I wash this off somehow?
I have similar spots... it's most likely the oleophobic coating wore off in that area. Not sure how it happens, but it seems to be ****ty coating.

I also have one such small spot that is only visible when the screen is off, and only visible at a certain angle with a lot of light. It's been there since I got the phone. It actually looks like it's under the glass, but I can't tell for sure. I can't feel it. I've been keeping an eye on it and I'll utilize Best Buy's protection plan if it gets worse. Im glad I'm not the only one, but this is a little disappointing.
It's problably the oleophobic coating like others said. I have the same thing on mine, and have been thinking of exchanging it because of it. But I think I might as well keep it, as this phone has no other problems, and I'm sure it will probably wear off any phone I get with due time.
Take a paper towel and lightly go over that area. I bet it comes clean so you can't see it anymore until you wipe your oily fingers in that spot again. It seems oils like to get stuck in those spots unless you clean it with something that absorbs oils, and isn't reused over and over.
Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I am hesitant to do a return as my phone works great with none of the issues faced by others.
I'll try cleaning it as suggested. Thanks!

I had the smudges that Kayatoast talked about. I just wiped it off with a paper towel and it disappeared. I guess we must clean it with something that absorbs oil.
My smudges probably came from the hand lotion...
I've also decided not to return mine because I don't want to get a replacement phone with a worse problem.
As for wiping it off, this may work for others in some situations, but the spot on mine is definitely a blemish/defect. Cleaning it has zero effect.
I used iklear to clean the screen then wiped it down with a microfibre cloth. That took care of the smudge. Then I slapped a screen protector on it and that took care of the smudge..now to get rid of those air bubbles..lol.
I recommend this brand: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/pr...geraeteklasse=7&marke=Samsung&modell=4603&go=
Arrived in 2 days, made by 3M and doesn't affect my screen clarity at all.
I just realized the same type of smudge on mine today. It's not on top of the screen, but seems like it's under it. Like others, I didn't want to exchange it because everything else works fine plus I'm out of my 30 day period with no exchange.
If I remember, I'm probably going to do a warranty exchange before it ends.
When I was cleaning my screen to put on my cheap eBay screen protector, I noticed the same smudge in the middle of my screen. No amount of cleaning removed it completely. On went the screen protector, and "Voila", smudge disappeared .
BTW, the eBay screen protector is very close to screen feel as the naked screen and is completely clear. Free with the $3.99 shipped silicone case... gotta love eBay!!!

You know, I thought this was a joke until I got the cheap screen protectors that came with the S gel case. Yeah, it disappears. Weird since it looked like the smudge was under the screen.
Phew im glad im not the only one, the smudge is barely noticeable except under light and while the screen is off. Going to try to clean it.
Is the smudge you guys are talking about, blue by chance? I have a slight blue streak underneath my screen since it was purchased. To best describe it, it looks like a shiney blue streak from cleaning with windex that never dries.

Hi guys! I have an issue with my screen on OnePlus 7 Pro, and I'm not really sure what this is. I never had a thing like this on other phones, my OnePlus 6 had a few scratches, but they never behaved this way. And the thing doesn't even look like a scratch but more of a huge print that doesn't go away.
Here is a picture - imgur.com/a/Smb6rvF After about month of having a phone and it always being in the case and with the default screen protector I've started noticing the image distortion in the same place from time to time, you know like a huge fingerprint or grease on the screen but it would appear at the same place. I thought okay, maybe I've scratched the screen so that I can remove the screen protector and it should be fine. So I did, but the thing stayed there as if it was either placed through screen protector or from the other side. And again, it's not that I never saw a scratch or a crack on the screen, but never this thing.
Then after about a week, the thing grew, you can see the blue line here - imgur.com/a/UI4FQTA
the red one was the initial one that I saw even with screen protector on, and the blue just grew out of the old one. Like I pull the phone from the pocket one day, and it's there. And not like I'm wearing and tearing the phone, just regular stuff - in jeans, inside pocket of the jacket, in the sealed pocket in the backpack. And I live in a big city, and I never notice any sand or small particles on the screen or the case. And it doesn't look like a scratch, but more as if the prints just bound to the screen and don't go away.
imgur.com/a/OnPSqj2 - is a more closeup shot. And again you wouldn't notice the thing at the start of the day when I clean my screen, but by the end, it will collect some grease and more prints and will be showing.
Here's a video what happens when I clean the screen -
imgur.com/a/tprePWI
FYI warranty or anything like that is out of the question since, I bought it during the holiday travel, and the phone is not officially sold in my country. I just wanted to know if there is any solution for this and how to prevent this from happening? Are these scratches but look different because of the new Gorilla Glass version or something like that?
Any help or advice is appreciated, just sad a thing like that happened so early in the life cycle
