I see a kit for ipod for that exact thing a few years ago - maybe its worth asking.

i dropped my diamond and the screen has a very nasty looking scratch along the botto of the screen.
please advise what i can do to fix or do i have to replace it for a new touch screen.
if i need a new screen where in th uk is the best place to have it re fitted
thanks

I think it's called Displex scratch remover or similar - try it out it will fill the hairline scratch and make it invisible.

Are you sure this will work? Displex melts a bit of the acrylic plastic on most screens so that it fills up the scratches. Last I heard, the Diamond's screen is glass.

If its the screen I'd be carefull applying anything as you risk the display becomes blurred (same reasons thet don't remove scratches on glasses). If it's made of glass maybe consult a car repair shop reparing wind screens. Let's hear what you find out.

The outer layer is not glass. It's the layer underneath the digitizer that is glass. Have you noticed that you can indent the screen when you touch it, say, with the stylus? That should prove it for you.
As far as the displex goes I personally haven't tried it as I use a screen protector (which on a side note I have ruined today as my stylus has developed a sharpness that has scratched the crap out of it). So the idea is to replace it when it's gone bad with a new one. If you've scratched the actual outer surface then you could look at replacing it (I'm not sure how you'll go about doing that) or you could try the displex.

Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.

Uh-oh... Haha I think I recommended Displex to someone before... I've seen people use it on GPS displays and it worked fine, even with touch screen... But if they say no, don't risk it.

looks like it will have to be a new screen,
is the outher screen a seprrate part to the glass section of the screen ??
does anyone know where i can have it replaced in the uk?

If your going to replace it then I'd have a go at polishing it first and see what happens. What you got to loose.
I once used a bit of Brasso on the screen of my car headunit, got the scratches out a treat.

If you're going to have a new screen anyway I'd first experiment with some of the various proucts discussed. If it works you save the repair, if not then no harm done as you'l get a new dispaly (at the cost of a new TD likely).

Search for the tech. manual on the net. It explains step by step how to do it. Good luck with it. I cannot recall where I found it, but even somewhere in xda is a link I think.

it was in my housing replacement thread before...
very difficult job from what i can tell for replacement
almost as annoying as iphone DIY since it has the most annoying housing ever

this may sound stupid but it is stuff that works
take a piece of microfiber cloth
a banana
toothpaste
and any glass cleaner
1st take a small piece of banana and rub it on the screen for about 3 minutes and take your microfiber cloth and whipe it off... (do not use water) and do not use paper towel or toilet paper!!!!(it will ruin the screen
now flip your microfiber to the clean side and set it down...
take your tooth paste (white colgate is the best) and rub it over the screen for 5 minutes again take the clean side of microfiber and rub off the toothpaste... it will smell minty for a couple of days but eventully it will go away!!!
please try this it works take the time it will work and again do not use any water!!! that means dont put water on cloth and wipe off
hope it helps

Right... I can understand using tooth paste, but a fricking bannana? How funny is that? I honestly would like to see a guy polishing his £350 phone with that.
You've made my day
Ps. I'd suggest using a carrot and then a potato afterwards

COuld be the small amount of acids in it.
A lemon may be too strong. Banana has a fine 'polishing' structure too.

it works man.... banana is my friend......
delicious too

Hehe, My apologies then, I'm gonna give it a go as soon as I spot the first scratch

My gorilla glass just dramatically failed

Hey guys,
I'm a little pissed right now... I woke up about 3 hours ago, my screen was perfectly scratchless. Now although, i got 3 scratches only from having the phone lay on the desk (display up), typing 2 SMS and trying out new widgetlocker designs.
I didnt do anything else. No putting in pocket (although that worked fine for weeks now), no smashing it on the ground, not even laying it in the sun. Nothing!
Now i got 3 scratches from basically doing ****. One of the 3 is almost 5mm long! Can you belive this? I'm speechless and dissapointed. And worst of all, i cant even explain it! It would be ok if i had had the phone in the pocket, or i threw it around or something. But this, this just sucks
Sorry for whining but i had to get it out.

that's why it's still advisable to put a Screen guard on the DS even though it's a gorilla glass. Remeber, the screeb is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Good thing is that I applied a SP on my DS since day 1.

Yeah, i applied a screen protector after some minutes of having the phone.. i have the phone like 2 weeks and all the protector is full of scratches... i hope it didnt get to the screen.. yeah.. its not scratch proof.. its the opposite.. scratch magnet haha

sure, your right. But this **** that just happend to me is not reproducable. I just tryed to scratch it with a pen and a knive an _nothing_ happened.
So how the **** can a screen be scratched with my own fingers?! Thats so frustrating. Like winning the lottery. I have had the phone now for over a month and had it always unprotected in my pockets, but now my own ****ing fingers scratch the display? This cant be right.

Sand grains can easily scratch the screen...

similar thing happened to me, kept phone in pocket on its own. Pulled it out the other day to see a hairline scratch about 2cm long. Gutted

there is just no possible way that your fingers(or nails) could have scratched the gorilla glass screen. even if it was normal glass it is not possible
but sand(or more accurately SiO2) can scratch your gorilla glass...Easily (as its hardness is 7 on the mohs scale)
it is possible that your screen was scratched earlier & you didnt notice it (sometimes a scratch is not visible till its wiped)
or you could have had some sand particles in your hand..
forget about the current scratches & get a screen protector immediately to prevent from more damage
& btw gorilla glass is only scratch resistant not scratch proof
(but there arent many common things that can scratch it other than sand ofc)

It definitly wasnt scratched earlier. The sad thing about the 5mm scratch is, that its always visible. The other two are just visible when the screen is off, but the big one is constantly popping out (its more or less breaking up the colours like a prisma)
Yeah its gotta be sand although i would be more happy if it were diamonds
I just put on a protector which came with casemate. Although it has bad reviews (the glass protector), it works quite fine on my device. What i most liked on the gorilla glass itself was that it was very fingerprint resistant. I ll see if the glass protector can keep up with that.
I knew that gorilla glass wasnt scratch immune. But its kinda ironic that only a tiny grain of sand could do so much damage, whereas nothing happend for the past 7 weeks under completely different (tougher) conditions.

Of couse i didnt mean diamonds
I meant the dust and the many sand particles in my pockets and the constant rubbing and bouncing around in my pockets.

So this summer i have to buy a screen protector if i go to the seaside (lots of sand there) . But i will only keep it on for the stay there. I like the screen the way it is !!!scratchless

I'm on my second desire s now and both times I managed to scratch the screen in just a few days of ownership. My previous desire, whilst picking up a couple of fine scratches seemed to survive a bit better somehow, at least on my current desire s it is not very noticeable.
You get over it eventually! I don't use a case or screen protector because they make the phone and screen look too crap IMO. I just accept that it's a working piece of kit and it's gonna pick up wear and tear, although I do my best to avoid damaging it.
You have my sympathy!

I'm also a nudist. Phone already dropped once. Cursed much. But screen is still ok so far.

[Q] Minor scratches on screen, will toothpaste help?

OK, so today I threw my Incredible (AMOLED if it matters at all) into my backpack and some keys in there scratched it a little bit. The scratches are not too deep, and you can't feel them or anything, so I was hoping there might be a way to fix it. I looked around a little bit and saw that toothpaste can help for getting scratches out of things like CD's and such. Has anyone tried this on their phone? I don't think anything bad would happen, but I don't really know...
Also, I know that I should have bought a screen protector, so please don't remind me about that.

'Getting scratches out' sounds like a bit of a oxymoron. You don't have something IN your screen, a scratch is more like a bit of surface screen missing.
I can't see why toothpaste would harm the screen. Just don't get the phone wet, turn it off, clean up afterwards, etc.
Really can't see how it would help either...

I have never heard of using toothpaste to fix scratches, but since the scratches are not to deep I try this product that has done wonders it is called apple sauce and was originally made to fix iPod scratches. Look it up on amazon.
If this helped please press the thanks button

Yes! It works well, rub it in tiny little circles starting in the center of the screen and working your way out. BUT BE CAREFUL. don't push hard ar all, and don't do the same part more than 2 or 3 little "circles" or you may destroy the screen. if you do it right though, it should work fine.

What do you mean "destroy the screen"? How easily can I accidentally do this? I don't want it to get worse!

They say you can do it on CD's it acts like a polish. I think it all depends on the surface of the screen and what kind of metirial it is made up of.
Good luck though!

Vaseline. lol

Yes, it will probably work since toothpaste is the same as a car polish in general

Mustard works better than toothpaste. It turns into glass when you use it to remove scratches on your phones screen. If you rub it on your face every night before going to bed you'll grow a proper manly beard too. Really, there's no limit to the things you can do with mustard with it's amazing properties.*
*All of the above is patently untrue in the same way that turning lead into gold is pure fiction. Toothpaste contains mild abrasives. Would you use sandpaper on your screen?

Nice! I tried the mustard, and it looks like it worked! My screen looks brand new! Also, I think I can already see stubble after just one night!!! The only problem is now my pillow is stained yellow...
Anyways, I thought that the toothpaste helped because of the slight abrasiveness of it...?

There are products here in the UK made under the Duraglit brand as Brasso and Silvo. These are metal polishes, but are also available as a cotton wad roll impregnated with the stuff. I do not know if they are sold in the USA, but there may be something similar from US manufacturers. As their name suggests they are made to clean and polish brassware and silverware.
It is a very fine abrasive suspension, but it also contains ammonia to remove any tarnish, and white spirit to act as a lubricant. They are quite good at removing scratches from watch glasses etc., by gently cutting into the surface, down to the level of the scratch.
On touch screen devices, the touch screen sensitive layer lives above the screen glass, but under a plastic protective layer. It will be this top layer that you have scratched. The product above or something similar may work, but check that the white spirit does not attack the protective plastic layer.
As mentioned above small, circular movements, a little at a time may work. If you cut through the protective layer, you are in trouble.

Nice to see people getting into the spirit of things Anyway, i hope you find a solution that works. I personally might be tempted to ask the manufacturer to replace the digitizer, as long as the cost wasn't too prohibitive. I tried changing one myself on an old phone and it didn't work out too well

Am not sure about what kind of display cover your phone has. But, if it's capacitive or IR and the top layer is glass, take it to the local wrist-watch merchant/repair center and they could fix it for you using H2SO4 and some filler.
Alternatively, you can have the top layer of the touch panel replaced.
And, next time, do use a screen protector. =D

Is it true that tooth paste works like sand paper on glass, does that mean that it contain something harder than glass? I don't have scratch just want to remove paint between my screen protector. Want to know if tooth paste actually micro scratch the glass.

Screen protectors

Hey guys
I'm a new owner of a new Razr I and I want to share with you that BestSkinsEver is making a skin for the Razr M, wich has exactly the same dimension as our beloved Razr I...
I've used the screen and body skins for my Galaxy Nexus and I can assure that it's awesome... The best screen protector I've used... much better than dry applied ones...
http://www.bestskinsever.com/motorola-droid-razr-m-skin
I'm just waiting for them to star selling :good:
Are you using any screen protectors at the moment?

I'm using the atfoliX FX-Clear screen protection. It's great to apply, you can re-use it by washing it. Not a single air bubble at the main screen.
Best part is: After i asked for it, they now also produce a smaller film for the glossy area at the back of the phone! I think it's the only manufacturer that offers it, it now comes with the normal films. I think it's based on silicone or something, at least it's not that ordinary "try to apply without air inclusions beneath it".
I can recommend it 100%, as Gorilla Glas does not seem to be as scratch-resistant as advertised (take the Asus Padfone; from inserting it into it's station many users have scratches). 100% invisible except the cut-out at the front cam.
It's a german manufacturer so i don't now if you can get it outside of germany. Some protections are sold outside germany, but not for every single device. Price is okay as it is 3 films for 5€.

Why would you need a screen protector ?

Because you better protect the display.

Protect it from what? ... your fingers?
Then why bother buying a phone with gorilla glass?
I agree ... if you go with your phone in a hostile environment then yes, you have to protect it (like .. tracking while mountain biking). But in normal daily usage, the phone (any phone) feels just great in the original form.

As already mentioned, have a look at the Asus Padfone. It uses Gorilla Glas, too, under specific circumstances scratches may occour anyway.
http://www.amazon.de/atFoliX-Displa...0XGO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357078998&sr=8-1
Just watch the pictures and tell me if you see any difference apart from the front cam cutout. I can tell you that you won't notice any difference, no one noticed the protection and IF i accidently put keys into the same pocket as my phone (won't happen as i have a case, too) at least the display won't get scratches. Probably the protection will, so just throw it away and apply the next one. You receive 3 when buying it for 4,50€. I don't get paid for writing this, but it's not like this was a big amout of money.
The gorilla glas can and will get scratches, too, but not as fast as normal glas.

quote everything!

The gorilla glass CAN get scratches. Your phone will NOT get scratched in "normal daily usage" - swiping and touching it with your fingers, car keys bumping with your phone, etc. As for the ASUS Padfone, it gets easily scratched as there are no borders to protect it. Also, I believe it is due to other issues like when they insert it on the tablet.
I own an S3 and it is gorilla glass 2 but got some scratches when it fell and slid on the floor (tiles). This is because there are no borders around the screen of the S3 so the gorilla glass takes all the beating.

That's what I said. If you intend to beat-up your phone, then you better put a rugged skin and a thick screen protector. Otherwise, just use it. I do not intend to "protect" it from accidental miss-usage sacrificing the beauty of the device for this. Accidents will always occur ... you have to accept this. And your phone might get a cracked screen even with a screen protector on it (if dropped in the unlucky position, on the corner). So .. why bother?

I have been using mine without a screen protector, and it now has a few tiny scratches.
I think this whole 'gorilla glass' thing is just a marketing gimmick.. I've had XDAs many (many, many) years ago without screen protectors that went through far worse than what this phone has had to go through, and they were fine.

One has to understand the fact the gorilla glass is a reinforced glass ... but still a glass. And a sand particle you catch in your pocket will likely scratch the gorilla glass ... it is a simple matter of material hardness.

I've been using atFolix FX-Clear Film for Razr I and I'm really happy with it.
Doesn't grease at all (but I make sure I don't have greasy hands before using my phone).

I don't know if it actually works as well as they claim it does but this Rhino Shield seems like a seriously impressive product...
http://shopify.evolutivelabs.com/products/rhino-shield-phone
They don't currently make one for the Razr I but I've spoken to them and they say they would probably produce one if they were to receive 100 orders.
What is the likelihood of that do you think? Anyone interested?

I´m also using atFolix FX-Clear. It fits realy perfect on Razr i. Easy to apply with no air bubbles.
But after now 6 months of use i think the "grease protection" is gone away...
I need more time for cleaning of the phone than before and its hard to remove the grease
a friend has a rough screen-protection (not cristal clear) this realy take no fingerprints.
this rough screen-protection i will try next time.
apply a screen-protection is the first thing i do after unpacking a new phone!
There is nothing worse than a scratch on the (real) display! -> great value loss when selling

My Razr I from Three came with one applied ... it's not the cloudy film they normally put on new phones either. Either way, saved me a few quid trying to find one.

Does the clear view case still scratch the screen?

With the S6 Edge, the clear view cover scratched many screen. Is this the same with the S6 edge+?

Hi,
Using the clear view case for about a month now. Not a single scratch on the screen or the case.

Don't know about the clear case, but the s view cover is scratching the screen slightly. Had this issue with the official s view cover by samsung. Switched over to Rearth Fusion one.

No issues for me, have been using the S-View case for a few months now.

Does anyone know HOW it is scratching the screen? Is it a design flaw?

All I know is it put scratch all over the curve on my display, got the screen replaced free of charge now using a Spigen Case.

Not a scratch on my screen...had Clearview case since day 1

Did you ever play with a balloon as a kid, rub it real fast, back and forth a bunch of times against your shirt or the carpet and then held it up on top of your head? If you did you'd notice that your hair suddenly is attracted to that balloon, as if it's a magnet. It's because rubbing it against your shirt or the carpet created static electricity and now your balloon full of negative charge. If you run it against anything with a positive charge it'll attract it, like a magnet.
Same idea with the cover, except that the balloon is the cover. The materials it's made of after awhile of opening and closing it begins to create a field of static charge, similar to the balloon and it starts to attract dust, sand, dirt, the tiny little particles inside your pockets or purse. Now all that crap on there built itself up along the inside of the cover and since your phones in your pocket, as you're walking around, its shuffling inside your pocket there...
And guess what happens when there's debris stuck inside that cover as you're just going about your day...?
Give up....?
You get scratches on your screen!
A speck of sand is tiny, most don't even realise it's there, yet it can cause some damage on a screen.
Basically the materials Samsung used to make that cover is rubber like, which is prone to building up static, so an expensive screen, tiny dirt particles and static prone materials are not a good mix.
Ways to avoid this?
1. Wash your jeans more often
2. Always have a clean/dirt or particle free purse
3. Avoid using the cover unless Samsung remakes it with static free materials.
I wonder if throwing a dryer sheet in your pocket works to eliminate static build up?
Hmm... well, if anything your phone and anything else down there should smell fresh and clean.
The cover looks really cool but not cool enough for me to risk my screen.
I'd feel pretty stupid to spend $60, with the intention to protect my phone with something that actually increases the potential to damage it.
Heard Samsung is aware of this and replaced screens free because of it, so maybe they reformulated the materials in it? Can't imagine they'd continue selling it, knowing they'd have to fix every screen that bought the cover. The cost to replace a screen is likely more than profit for the case, I'd think...?

Wow yeah. That kind of material would be a magnet!

According to three local shops here in NL Samsung did a massive recall of the first series Clear View Covers and replaced them with a revised version that apparently solved the scratching.. The version I bought today definitely looks different from the first generation I had on my normal S6
