I have the "dirty corners" problem with my 8x, anyone know of a good cleaning method?
Rub your finger over the dirt or use water and a cloth

I have the same issue. Rubbing alcohol did not work.

That's no dirt, likely, but it's loosing the color, so you can't clean the corner's.
At the moment, the official HTC facebook support page is the best place to change your phone. So far, there is still no statement from HTC about this issue. There are more and more people with the same "dirty corner" problem, because it's painted the color only on the black cover comes to the fore.

Please take all appropriate discussion to this thread. I know it was started after this one, but it is the start of an informational thread where the discussion can continue.

Has anyone successfully done this? If so, how did you do it? I'm speaking of the back of the Inspire, the carrier logo, and how to actually remove it.
I've heard that Atrix users were successful in using a U.S. penny to scratch it off with no marks. How would we accomplish this on the Inspire?

Sell it as Desire HD on ebay?

If this is something that's important for you, perhaps you might try some light solvent (IF the metal body is in fact not painted, which it doesn't appear to be).
The logo is silk-screened on with some kind of ink/paint, it's not etched, so it would probably come off with a little help.
If I wanted to do it, I'd try rubbing alcohol and a qtip first. Might take awhile longer than trying to scrape it off, but it would be the least risky way.
Running metal against metal has an abrasive effect, whether these penny-rubbing people can perceive it or not. Just a fact.

Who's stressing? I just asked a simple question. No where did I indicate that it was important, or that it was bothering me. The things people infer .

back in the good old days we used to use sugar cubes to rub logo's off with no marking...

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have tried 100% ethanol and 100% acetone with no luck, you will just end up cleaning your phone. You will need some sort of gentle abrasive to get it off. I might even suggest Brasso as it is a solvent and mild abrasive in one, but don't blame me if you mess up your finish.
I was going to recommend the same thing.
An old trick with the HTC Tytn and TytnII (Kaiser/Tilt) was to use a sugar cube.
The sugar was tougher than the paint but softer than the metal so it did not scratch.
Might be worth a shot.
**EDIT**
Just found an old thread on it!

Heh. If acetone won't do it, nothing will, without some kind of abrasive, as you say.

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.

Did u notice ur whites get any whiter?
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

I dabble in photography and have enough of lint-free lens wipes lying around. I spray a wipe with just a little bit of lens cleaning liquid and use that to wipe down the phone, then use a clean wipe to dry it out. It makes the screen sparkle and also removes oil smudges off the back and sides.

Not sure, haven't tried it.
You could also use glass wipes of the kind available in CVS or Lenscrafters. CVS has wipes under their own brand that work quite well for cleaning my reading glasses. They are not dripping wet but moist enough to do the job.
i use alcohol wipes on my white one , would imagine it would work for yours
Any suggestions for the back? I assumed when the OP said grey One X they meant the back anyways, cause I don't see any reason why the color of the device would change anything in relation to the screen...

I used a little water and paper towels and it worked to reduce the oil but there's still a few places that look off. Almost like the oil is permanent or something. :/

Not sure how it happened, but i finally picked up a scratch on my screen. Now i will be definitely be picking up a screen protector to help prevent further issues.
Is there anything recommend to help buff it out? I'm not sure if its 100% repairable, which is fine. Just something to help conceal it.
Was contemplating using toothpaste, but didn't want to risk further ruining my screen.
Displex works. Look it up on eBay. Ps stay away from the screen logos. I had an issue on another device

I really wouldn't use any method to remove the scratch on the phone. Just put a good screen protector on it, like Ghost Armor and you won't even see th e scratch anymore.
I just scratched mine last week also.... No idea how, ghost armor makes it look brand new.

Hey yall! So I am receiving a Glass tr protector from spigen in the next days, i have installed many protectors in the past (only plastic ones). I am a perfectionist and hate even the smallest bubbles or lints, i understand that i get one shot to install this right and i have no problem with the cleaning process and pre installation, but i was reading somewhere that the small lints are attracted by static in the phone, so...any advice on how to minimize this? Maybe its just BS but i dont want to risk it causes once is on, there's no turning back... I know i sound paranoid btw....thanks for any tip!
