Scratched screen help? - General Questions and Answers

I got a scratch on my s3's screen. Its not that deep but I can still feel it with my fingernail and it does distort the colors but only on high brightness and anything with a white background. Is there any home remedies or screen protecters I can buy that will hide it?
PS. I've already tried the toothpaste method.

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.

Bubbles

Anyone have bubbles on their crespo screen protector? I have mine in top and bottom and the very beginning of the screen. Is it due to the curvature of the screen?

They usually disappear in a few days if you have just installed the screen protector.

not if you are a pro screen protector installer like me .. there must be dust particles in those bubbles you are seeing. they won't automatically disappear. best is take off the screen protector, clean the phone surface, and apply new screen protector. be sure to apply in a clean place with lots of sunlight so you can see any dust particles.

I've heard that people can use toothpaste to remove scratches before you can give it a try

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.

Screen extra sensitive

Any fix for this? This so far has been my main annoyance with this phone. Happens on both my parents Galaxy S5 running Lollipop as well.
Examples: Scrolling through settings is bouncy same for webpages which is just awful.
Then the worst is the Notification panel, Its so bad that I'll scroll down and the panel goes right back up.
Any suggestions for this?

I havent placed one on yet, I have a Ghostek Tempered Glass I planned putting on once I figure out what firmware I want to run on it.
