Probably dust on the screen, not in the screen

I guarantee that everyone who read the OP picked up their phone cleaned the screen and then checked it intensely

I also did... When i opened it up I was like what the **** happened.
Also, I see a TINY black spec down in the bottom left corner with the screen on and the screen off.
Bummed kinda.

Because they have the SAMOLED screen, meaning there is no space between Gorilla Glass and Digitizer, hence no space for the dust to settle in.

Then someone explain this dot.

the NS curved glass is Gorilla Glass?

Yes it is.

It does however catch dust on the outer edges of the phone, around the rim of the phone where the glass meets the phone.

atFolix Screen Protector Unboxing and Applying

So yeah, here is the video for you guys
If it helped don't forget to :good:
Some guy told me you didn't get the pixelated or blurry effect on it, but you get it :\
It is the same as before :\
Any recommendation on a good screen protector? Doesn't have to be anti-reflex anymore, tired of it, they all blow I hear Spigen was a good one, but kind of expensive also..
All anti reflective protectors I have seen will produce a poor screen image, you need to get the normal ones. I have the atFolix ultra clear and its fine.

I preferred the Slim Frosted Shield from them for the E8. It was almost perfect.
And that was like $9.00

Rusted Home Button

Phone not even 5 months old and already rusting. Has anyone else having this problem. Bought this phone for my wife.
Was it dropped in saltwater or something?

A shot in the dark here...you said this was your wife's phone right? Seeing that it is around the crease of the button...is it possible it is makeup stuck in there from when she presses it to her face on a phone call? Did you try a q-tip and some alcohol to see if it cleans out?

Why don't you just open the phone up and find out??
Pretty sure that's makeup stuck in there.
Those parts are plastic.
Turn off device
Q-tip with alcohol
soak the home button
wait a few minutes
Vacuum the moisture out.
Wait an hour or 2
Turn on device.
Nrush it off with a toothbrush and water, that part shpuld get water damage anyways, if the phone dies don't blame me tho lol

Self Healing Body Frame?

Well, I bought my U11 since almost 2-3 months. I like its feeling so I didn't use the provided back cover, neither bought any cover. This needed me to take extra care to not make it fall.
However, it fell eventually, but not from a high distance, though, the body frame got a noticeable scratch on the SIM card holder part, and due to the scratch, the affected part color became white (the phone is red). Today, I looked at the phone and it has no scratch! No white color, it is all red again!
So, actually, I'm not believing myself. Does this phone frame self heals itself? I'm sure I wasn't dreaming!
I think you were either dreaming or mistaken. The frame is not self healing technology.

Transparent Oneplus 7 Pro

I just want to share with you my favorite modification to the OnePlus 7 Pro. I love transparent phones and this is what I did with mine.
I am going to replace the tape for glue but I wanted to show you how it looks.
Very cool ? Enjoy that 7 Pro!

Hello jerryrigeverything,
Did it scratches at level 6, with deeper groves at level 7 ?

Zhanlida T-7000. It is black and it is very similar to the original. I prefer black because it does not turn yellow with light.
Do you have one to recommend me?

You think it's still water proof?
That looks really cool! But did you strip down a nebula blue model? That pains me internally lol but hey, it DOES look good!

No. It is not waterproof anymore, but if I apply the glue very carefully I can seal it as much as possible. I just love the way it looks.

Yes. It is the 12gig model. I tried to resist my impulse but at the end I couldn't. I am really happy with the final result. I looks fantastic.

My Note 9 has glue and I was very careful applying it. I can not assure you that it is 100% waterproof but it has received humidity from rain, wet tables, etc and I have not had a single problem. I gave it to my brother and he loves it. I think that being carefull it can be waterproofed.
Jerryrigeverything and the other guys who make transparent phones just do it to show but not for daily use. I am confident that my phones are sealled. Time will tell but the note 9 has been transparent por months and is perfect.

Yes. I saw it but I preferred the original look. It would be great if the original battery color was red but I do not want to touch the battery.
OP, I have a quick question. Isn't there some sort of black "card" that covers the motor for the front camera? I think it contains the NFC antenna.
Did you lose any functionality (other that waterproofing) by doing this? I only ask because, once I break my back glass (and I'm sure I will eventually), I'll probably do this as well.
Looks good btw.

I removed the black cover to be able to show the camera motor and the board. I just lost NFC which I never use. Everything else works as expected.
In a couple of days I will post new pictures with the back glass glued and I think that I can make it waterproof again or at least splash resistant.

It was never water proof.
It was mildly water resistant. An not now.
