Hello xda members,
I applied a protector screen on my HTC Desire HD but failed, lots of air bubbles etc. so I decided to remove it. After removal, the screen got somehow sticky. The scrolling is not smooth and I m not able to glide freely as I used to before it ...
My fingers keep getting opposed by this and no smooth scrolling at all :S
Any idea how can I remove this stickiness and get this smoothness back?!
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards.
Try rubbing alcohol

I tried rubbing alcohol once but found it more effective to drink it
When i had the same problem with my old Omnia, i just kept rubbing the screen with kitchen towel until it was adhesive free. If you have a glass screen you'll have no problems using glass cleaner or the like.

i haven't noticed any problems with mine. I even dropped it on concrete which managed to chip the aluminium on the back but left the screen intact. The only time i can see scratches are when it's under direct light and those are still hard to see. Also, i do not use a screen protector.
It's clearly not a rubbish screen or this forum would be flooded with more posts saying the same
Buy a screen protector they're named like that for a reason

I hat screen protectors, but the screen seems to be adequate; I dont get any scratch and carry the phone in my pocket without any kind of protection (just try to no mix up with coins and keys).
When compared side to side, the screen is also somewhat dimmer and the Nexus S (S-LCD version, not amoled). Colors are also less vivid, but that may be software related.
Viewing angles might and black levels not be the best, but the brightness and colours are great. I'd hardly say the screen is crap. Also, pretty sure it is Gorilla glass but I'm not going to try and find out.
Compare it to x10 mini and you an se that diference...

i am pretty sure that the screen is gorilla glass
who told you that gorilla glass cant be scratched?it is scratch resistant not scratch proof
a small grain of sand can scratch the screen easily
that is why it is always better to get a screen protector as soon as you get the device
DS has for sure gorilla glass. but you can see some small hair0like scratches when the screen is off. i use protective membranes
I tried on x10 mini foil from Brando. They are 110% quality. But after an hour goes to bin :-D
I havent any scratch on screen. Desire s detto.
I noticed a scratch today, only had it several days.
Hey guys
Quite a while back I bought the case mate tough and long story short, I messed up the screen protector. I took it off and ever since then I get horrible little hairs and dirt sticking to my screen. Is there something I can use to give the screen a good clean? I just think that the screen protector may have made the screen slightly sticky. I already have a micro fiber cloth but it doesn't seem to get rid of whatever is causing it

I use the same wipes that I use on my eyeglasses to clean the screens on my cell phone and other portable devices
OR
baby wipes...just dab it a bit...and use ur microfibre cloth in circular motion
n done..
thanks i'll try it out and see how it goes!
I use alchohol wipes - they seem to do the trick
I use a little handwash soap + water, and then again with just water. The same way I clean my eyeglasses.

Ohmygod
He was talking about his device, and you tell him to wash it with water O.O
I'm sure you're talking about the screen protector, cause I did clean it the way you described

what i use to clean my phones screen is the spray that u get for lcd tv's and they usually come with a microfibre cloth.. i usually spray the screen and wipe it starting from a corner and polish it using the other side of the cloth.

you can also use some after shave because it is alcohol based, it will evaporate and make the phone feel like it was new
I am using wipe from MacBookPro
You can use an lcd screen cleaner or some stuff called goo gone, i got at walmart
Does anybody else have the rainbow effect happening to the screen protector on the Otterbox defender, also does anyone know how to fix it? (other than the baby powder trick)
Thanks in advanced

afaik the only effective way to get rid of the watermarks is to use baby powder. but its not like you actually put baby powder on it. What you do is, you grab a "bottle" or whatever its called of baby powder. Without opening the lid, shake it vigorously. This gets all the particles to create a mist inside the bottle. then, take your front otterbox piece and unscrew the baby powder. hold the bottle upright and from about half a foot away, gently squeeze the baby powder upwards onto the inside of the otterbox screen. Just squeeze enough so you can slightly see some smoke come up. Then you're done!!! It doesnt look like it did anything, but once you put the case on, it does wonders..
Hope that helped!!

The rainbow effect actually stopped after about 2 hours of the case on the phone.

Does your defender fit tight on the phone. Mine feels loose at the edges and the screen cover greatly reduces touch sensitivity. Just wondering about your thoughts.

Mine fits perfectly. Games play great and touch sensitivity is fine

I hated that Rainbow effect so I just ended up ordering Zagg invisible shield and removing the otterbox screen...screen is much better!
I just cut the screen protector out of my defender case. Freaking awesome. Still protected against drops, bit without screen issues.

I've heard that people can use toothpaste to remove scratches before you can give it a try
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
You can buy glass scratch removal kits off the internet but I'm not sure how they would work on a screen or even if they would damage it more
Dunno about the scratch removal kit, but people said toothpaste makes it worse.
From what people say in the iPad forums, the only way to remove scratches in the oleophobic coating is to remove the whole thing by buffing it out. You can't just do the scratch or it becomes obvious when the screen is on that you've buffed out a section of coating....
Everybody says to just use a screen protector (for light scratches), remove the coating entirely, replace the screen, or send it in to apple, who will 're coat the screen.

I bought a bottle of clean screener with nice soft cloth. Does the job nicely. Fragrance free wet wipes will work nicely too.
I just use my glasses cloth. Simple as that. I dont have a screen protector either

I'll look up for the screen Cleaner then.
thanks again

I try to use only a micro fibre cloth. I get them at camera stores. I use them on my dslr camera lenses, so I trust then
A little glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth works nicely...with or without screen protector.

I just generally use a soft clean microfiber cloth to get rid of finger prints but for things that can't be removed with a dry cloth I use a biodegradable glass cleaner that does not contain any ammonia or alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth
