To my surprise (and dismay), I noticed under direct sunlight that dust had made its way under the LCD glass today. It's all between the glass and LCD. See attachment. I got the phone same day it came out.
Has anyone else experienced dust under the glass?
Yes. You, me and 100+ others.

I have been using the phone for about a month now, no shields or cover, just carrying it around in my pocket. So far no dust at all. I would recommend asking for a replacement device.

Yes I have experienced that. It's really annoying when people don't clean their tables good enough before serving beverages.

All the best bars have sticky floors, tables and bars. If it's too clean, I walk.

Just reaching out to the community (again, sorry) to see if dust is appearing behind the glass screen covering the camera lens on anyone else's g2x. I just noticed a spec or two that appears to not be a scratch or smudge. This phone is amazing despite this and a few reboot/lockup issues I'm had that everyone is claiming is software related... so this dust issue is really my last concern with this phone. I've seen this problem occur before on previous phones ive owned and it eventually spiraled into levels much more severe then just a spec or two. Levels that start to make some phone functions difficult to use or unusable altogether.
Again, any input would be greatly appreciated. I just want a general consensus from the community to determine if I simply have a defective model or not. Thanks.

I have lots of dust on mine but it doesnt show up when i take a picture. Guess there is nothing i can do about it. I got my phone for free so cant complain.
Have you removed the back cover and cleaned the dust from behind there?

The first thing i noticed when i was putting my sim card and battery in was the lens cover. That is good design. All of my other phones have had a sealed lens cover. So if you did get dust behind there you were screwed.
still a lame design, no cover on flash so dust gets in there when most phones don't have this issue.
I had to remove cover just to clean area to get a clear photo yesterday. LAME!
Recently, I accidentally scratched my screen. Does anyone know of a way to either remove the scratch or fill it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
learn your lesson and put a screen protector on it. theres no way to remove the scratch but a screen protector could help make it less visible.
OMG!!!
Sensation's screen supposed to Gorilla Glass. Please have a look onto below link's list.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
Could u also pls let us know exactly how this happended ?
OMGWTFBBQ!!
GG isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. I bet this same scratch on a non GG device would have been awful or maybe even cracked the screen.
OP - the only thing I know of to do is get a good screen protector. A lot of times the screen protector will make the scratch really hard to see.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
ofcourse there are ways to fill the scratches...heard very good stories about displex http://www.displex.com/
displex is fake... I bought it one time for my phone and it did NOTHING.
Thanks. I will thank your posts when I get back to my computer, because the xda app doesnt have a thanks button.
I will get a screen protector. Also, I was able to make the acratch smaller by putting toothpaste on it.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Displex worked fine for me many years ago on an old SE. Not sure with the new touch screens. And presumably gorilla glass, if indeed harder to scratch, will be hard to polish out any scratches.
If anyone has the misfortune to trash their Sensation may be they will do a little test on the screen with toothpaste and Displex?

you could always try the little kit that you can buy that repairs chips in a cars windscreen.. its basically a resin that fills in the chip in a windscreen to virtually nothing and for a scratch it may fill the hole and leave just a small remnant of the scratch... this is basically because you obviously see through a windscreen and it works well for that application...
failing that as others have said you will have to suck it up or find a replacement screen on ebay and put a screen protector on it.. i seen a replacement screen for $50 on ebay and if the scratch is that bad maybe thats another option
Hey everyone. I got my invisible shield yesterday. Full body coverage. Carphone Warehouse £17.99. Installed it yesterday. Pleased with results.
As you can see in the pictures, there are still water bubbles on the front screen protector, but they are still drying up.
Now I am rest assured my desire s will remain scratch-free!
Sorry for the poor quality, shot on a 3mp tg01 camera.
Any questions, request more pictures, and I will be glad to answer!

hi
i got a screen protector when i bought the device,since i was not able to get the one for the DS at that time i got an smaller one
now i am going to buy a new screen protector & was considering a antiglare type but i heard that they make the screen look bad & the colors diffused,is that true & if it is does it make it look very bad?
i am also considering buying a case do you have any recommendations?

Hi! I always try and avoid cheap screen protectors because they get scratched easily and they make the screen much more reflective. If you want a quality protector I recommend the case mate or official HTC protector. For a case, there are loads avalable like Amazon etc!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
I have tried an ebay anti glare screen protector branded "Screen Guard professional". These are the easiest I have tried to apply without bubbles but do give the screen a rather unattractive grainy effect where white areas are viewed. I have gone back and ordered some clear ones from the same range.
Are the water bubbles already completely gone?
Nice, but I don't see a need for a full body. For me a screen protector is enough.

Nope , it won't leave any residue when it comes off still recommend it !
Only thing though,when I went in holiday to Florida, the shield started to peel away abit. I'm guessing this is to do with the really hot weather though! Other than that the shield is great !

How??
The screen protector doesn't even cover up the proximity sensor. There is a cut out for it...
It may be a ROM you are using with RC tweaks, they make the sensor less responsive

Markyzz says good but from my own experience doing screen replacements is a thing that must be usually done by professional people or at least people with tools. There's always something that can go wrong. And first of all is the electrostatic discharge that can fry some sensitive components inside phone.

They say "Corning Gorilla Glass"
It has gorilla glass. It is listed even on the official company site which has all the gorilla glass embeded devices... Gorilla glass is not breakproof only scratchproof and this only to some extend.
look at ebay, there are many complete packs for replaceing the display, including tools for opening the phone.

I have yellow spots on my screen, should I replace my display or there is some other solution, is there anyone who solve this and how? While I was using Promethius ROM with WiFi on phone gets hot and yellow spots are totaly visible like the screen stating to burn. Good one with Gorilla and banana.
Do you have warranty for your phone?
I would try flashing back to stock, unroot and call LG support.

I don't know if it's a good idea to be using chemicals on the Digitizer. Best to use a screen protector or learn to live with it I'd say.
I use a liquid screen protector. Doesn't really fill in scratches well but it gives you peace of mind.
Don't use a polish on the phone, you'll just scratch it more.

Hmm. Sounds interesting. I have the commuter case from otter box (wanted the defender). The screen protector was too difficult. Even with the hard card. Oh well. thank you guys

That was always my thought on scratch removal tricks or products for smartphone screens. I've never tried it (usually use a screen protector), but it seems like something that would do as much harm as good.
