Dust under screen

I got a spec of dust under my screen. Anyone else have this problem?

Not as of yet, back in my Nexus One days I did have that issue though and the fix was pretty simple.
Hold the phone by the edges and squeeze it a bit, if you hear like a clicking sound the seal between the glass and or digitizer and phone body is loose. Grab your wife's hairdryer (yes she will stare at you, I find it best to stare back as if to say whatcha ya looking at..sometimes that works however ymmv) and heat up the corners where you heard the click sound then squeeze them together for 15-20 seconds.
What I did though was sent mine back and as soon as my new one came I fixed it. Never had an issue with it since.

I haven't seen this problem on the 3 G2X's that I've owned. Try sending it back, but tell them it's not powering on or something.

You might have the only G2x made by HTC.

well I have one tiny dust spec that I can only see when I look at the display under sunlight. It bothered me so much I requested a replacement, hoping that I would get one that didn't have this problem.
I just got the replacement a couple days ago, and there's like 6 specs of dust under the screen, although you have to hold it under bright or sunlight to see it.
I'm sending back the replacement and I'm holding on to my current one since that's the only flaw, but it's nice to know this is common.
I'll bet alot of ppl have this problem but doesn't notice the dust until someone points it out to them like the screen bleed issue.
Gonna be a lot of G2x owners looking for dust under bright light now. hehe

Yeah, you're using an HTC G2x. Or you have dusk under your screen protector. Either way, I can see no way dusk can get under this Gorilla Glass.

How many times have you dropped your Desire S?

Hello all my Desire S owner fellows. I wonder how well this handset can handle drops and crashes, so I started this thread to find out about experiences in real life you guys have with your Desires.

I find that there's a strong correlation between the amount of times I drop the device and the force at which I drop it and the amount of alcohol that I've drunk.

Got it for two weeks dropped three times twice from a table to tiled floor. No glitches i can identify till now

Distracted by the girl and dropped on concrete, the phone was in a plastic case-mate. As a result, broke into two pieces and get a little scratch, has long been frustrated. But as they say, things for us, not we for things. Protect and take care of your phone.

I have been a bit rough on my Desire s, and yes it have a few bumbs and stuff like that,but overall this is on hell of a though phone!

As I found out they use Asahi glass on Desire S. So no gorilla glass like your HD.

Give it a try and ask HTC in their support section on the website. You'll find out what kind if glass is on your Desire S.

I'm sure there's another thread arguing this already. Anyway I drop my phone anywhere and everywhere. The screen is still perfect, really hard to find scratches. But just bought a case mate tough to protect the pathetic aluminium.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

drop 2 times.
1) from about 15cm to wooden table, no effect.
2) about 1 meter to tile floor resulting some dent on top edge.
both situation happened without protective cover.

My total ownage of 3 months. and I've dropped it only once
I'm usually very careful of my gadgets, they are always fully protected with invisible shields/thick leather cases etc.
My phone is still in perfect condition. apart from a small small chip (the size of a full stop) on the top of the phone (near headset port)
It really bugs me now! I can see a white patch, where the paint came off.
I got the scratch when a door hit my phone... And it was through my pocket!

I have simply lost count I am using the Casemate Barely There case. It definitely protects the phone but I really ought to get my screen protector on.

Nexus 4 Official Bumper Broke!

So I must have gotten a defect because when I went to take off the case yesterday to check to see if there was dirt under it this happened.

I can't really tell if this is serious or not. It comes off like that, just put the aluminum part around the plastic. Problem solved...if you can even call it a problem:what:
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

No its not supposed to come apart like that. It's heavy duty double sided taped together and it came apart. If I put it back together the plastic falls off while the phone is in my pocket. Also when I called google the guy said its not supposed to come apart EVER! So no I'm not trolling but thanks!

Also the power button fell off of the plastic so thats pretty cool.

its suppose to come apart..

Wow, that is how you put it on the phone. U take the ring off, pop phone into the plastic part, the push the ring back in till it snaps.
Not sure if serious???

it's not suppose to come apart. Mine does not come apart at all.

ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO COME APART!

lol yeah its definitely not supposed to come apart.

Correct, it does not come apart. I had two of them and both were pretty much solid, meaning not apart.

It seems to be that many people are confused on whether it comes apart or not. I, for one, would not want a product that falls apart in such a way and I, too, would make Google replace it.

I'm now sure who are the real trolls. The OP or the people saying it's suppose to come apart.

Cracked Nexus 5 screen upon arrival?

crazy, but weird that the phone is already setup and everything.. no plastic on screen. I dunno, first time hearing something like that.

Yeah that's not a crack, that's shattered.

This is the eerily familiar like the Nexus 4 thread where the guy claimed the glass shattered while inside his pocket.
Sigh.

So he pulled it out of the box, saw the screen was shattered, and decided to go ahead and take the plastic off and set up the phone any way?
Bull****!

But it is all logged in with the sticker off? Yea....

Yup total BS, you don't take the screen protector off a cracked phone

Impossible lol. I bet he dropped it then tried to be smart by blaming google.

im sorry but this is hard to believe! It looks like it was dropped! The point of impact looks like the bottom left corner!

I don't know him to be a dishonest person. Maybe somehow he got a unit that had been tampered with?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Still think its hard to believe! Why would you take the protective plastic film off, if you notice the screen is cracked? Also these phones are shipped in a decent retail packaging and then you have the actual shipping box filled with either peanuts!

AFAIK back in the day, the UPS practice was to "build" a "wall" then just throw ****(parcels) in behind it...
...so... I dunno.. BS or not, but the package should CLEARLY have shown signs of being beat all to hell and back... -> refuse delivery, or photo and claim it...

yea not buying that one nice try bro

I call BS too! The way my phones where packed there was no way that they would have cracked like this. They are in a molded box inside a box wrapped by a box inside a box with airbags.

It seems to only be on my phone. Not my SO's phone. You can feel the bottom lip definitely protruding further on mine. Any of you experience this? Solutions? Warranty? Live with it?

Just clean it with the pointy end of a thin sheet of paper. This happens with every phone I've ever owned.

The same thing has been bothering me a lot as well. Usually if I wipe it down with a microfiber most of it goes away but there are still similar specs to the ones in your picture. I just tried using paper and it didn't work too well. I ordered a small pack of the cyber putty, I think that should work better. @rootSU do you think the small 2.6 oz bag will be enough to clean a keyboard as well?

Toothbrush / Paint brush does the trick for me each time!

I can't say to be honest, I haven't used it with a screen protector. I doubt it but don't take my word for it.
