I see a kit for ipod for that exact thing a few years ago - maybe its worth asking.
i dropped my diamond and the screen has a very nasty looking scratch along the botto of the screen.
please advise what i can do to fix or do i have to replace it for a new touch screen.
if i need a new screen where in th uk is the best place to have it re fitted
thanks
I think it's called Displex scratch remover or similar - try it out it will fill the hairline scratch and make it invisible.

Are you sure this will work? Displex melts a bit of the acrylic plastic on most screens so that it fills up the scratches. Last I heard, the Diamond's screen is glass.

If its the screen I'd be carefull applying anything as you risk the display becomes blurred (same reasons thet don't remove scratches on glasses). If it's made of glass maybe consult a car repair shop reparing wind screens. Let's hear what you find out.

The outer layer is not glass. It's the layer underneath the digitizer that is glass. Have you noticed that you can indent the screen when you touch it, say, with the stylus? That should prove it for you.
As far as the displex goes I personally haven't tried it as I use a screen protector (which on a side note I have ruined today as my stylus has developed a sharpness that has scratched the crap out of it). So the idea is to replace it when it's gone bad with a new one. If you've scratched the actual outer surface then you could look at replacing it (I'm not sure how you'll go about doing that) or you could try the displex.
Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.

Uh-oh... Haha I think I recommended Displex to someone before... I've seen people use it on GPS displays and it worked fine, even with touch screen... But if they say no, don't risk it.
looks like it will have to be a new screen,
is the outher screen a seprrate part to the glass section of the screen ??
does anyone know where i can have it replaced in the uk?
If your going to replace it then I'd have a go at polishing it first and see what happens. What you got to loose.
I once used a bit of Brasso on the screen of my car headunit, got the scratches out a treat.

If you're going to have a new screen anyway I'd first experiment with some of the various proucts discussed. If it works you save the repair, if not then no harm done as you'l get a new dispaly (at the cost of a new TD likely).

it was in my housing replacement thread before...
very difficult job from what i can tell for replacement
almost as annoying as iphone DIY since it has the most annoying housing ever
this may sound stupid but it is stuff that works
take a piece of microfiber cloth
a banana
toothpaste
and any glass cleaner
1st take a small piece of banana and rub it on the screen for about 3 minutes and take your microfiber cloth and whipe it off... (do not use water) and do not use paper towel or toilet paper!!!!(it will ruin the screen
now flip your microfiber to the clean side and set it down...
take your tooth paste (white colgate is the best) and rub it over the screen for 5 minutes again take the clean side of microfiber and rub off the toothpaste... it will smell minty for a couple of days but eventully it will go away!!!
please try this it works take the time it will work and again do not use any water!!! that means dont put water on cloth and wipe off
hope it helps

Right... I can understand using tooth paste, but a fricking bannana? How funny is that? I honestly would like to see a guy polishing his £350 phone with that.
You've made my day
Ps. I'd suggest using a carrot and then a potato afterwards
COuld be the small amount of acids in it.
A lemon may be too strong. Banana has a fine 'polishing' structure too.
it works man.... banana is my friend......
delicious too

Hehe, My apologies then, I'm gonna give it a go as soon as I spot the first scratch
after 2 weeks of using, my screen is super dirty now.......... i am looking for the most efficient way to clean it..... (wipe on my shirt doesnt clean it at all....) and i am constantly getting the rainbow effect on the screen........... anybody has a solution?
buy a good microfiber cloth
I use a "dust off" for all my electronics and that works wonders.
i wouldnt advise you to use your shirt though

DO NOT USE CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
This phone has an oleophobic coating on it, unlike LCD/Plasma TV's. Unless someone does a study on the effect of cleaning solutions on that coating, I wouldn't risk messing it up with a cleaner.
Here's how I clean my screen. You have a clean microfiber cloth, which is good. I start by going over the screen in circular motions, using medium pressure (I'm not a buff guy, so use lighter pressure if you are). Then i gently blow on the screen to very slightly fog it up, and immediately go over it again with circular motions. Switching between clockwise/anticlockwise helps. If any spots are left, I go over them with slightly harder pressure, but never in a scraping motion ... just circular buffing.
Note that the cloth used for cleaning needs to actually absorb the oils, so maybe yours isn't in such great shape and is just smearing the oils around (hence the rainbow effect).
Since there have been so many threads on this, someone should go out and make a tutorial video on cleaning your screen
Are y'all playing in the mud or something?
I have had no problems wiping the screen the few times it has had a print or two on it...

Get a good microfiber cloth. I personally love Fossil's (the watch company). I use it for my glasses mostly.
Hold the phone with your left hand, cover it with the microfiber cloth, use the bottom of your palm on top of the screen, wipe like crazy in every direction for 2-3 seconds, you're done.
LOL. You can wipe it anyway you want, no particular way, just wipe. It's fine.
+1 on Micro Fibre.
How often do you guys change your microfiber cloth? Mine's getting a bit grimy from constant use and dust. Is it even washable? I'm using one that came with my Ipod Touch.

This is quoted from Autogeek.net http://www.autogeek.net/mi101.html
Wash your microfiber in the washing machine with detergent only. Tumble them dry on low heat or no heat. High heat will literally melt the fibers while fabric softener and bleach will eliminate the electric charge that makes microfiber so effective. Avoid those three laundry habits, and your microfiber will last indefinitely.
Yesterday i bought the Spigen glass.tr screen protector
it's a dry protector and no wet solution needed
the biggest problem any one can had is the dust under the screen protector
anyway
i installed the protector after cleaning my phone screen very carefully and i was sure that there was no dust there
and of course after the installation there was some dust between the protector and the screen
i was very mad . it's a 30$ protector
i removed the protector and using some alcohol (the white one that u can find in any drug store )
i cleaned the protector
then i made sure that the protector stays wet with the alcohol and i applied it then used the squeegee to remove any small drops of alcohol between the screen and the protector
and now its perfect no dust and no bubbles at all
i wanted to share this with everyone having trouble applying his glass screen protector

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered mine yesterday and was looking for a solution to this ahead of time. This should work great!
So no hazing or issues with the alcohol coming in contact with the edges (case or what have you)?

How did you remove it? Most stories I've read of someone removing have led to a problem in the area where they first pried it up.
Usally whn this happens i just get tape and stick it under the screen protector without removing it totally or screen and remove the dust. And lay the screen protector again. Always works for me.

Mime ghost glass comes with an anti-dust film. All I did to install was wipe the screen down to remove oils, stick on the film and remove it, and put the glass on. Not a single bubble or spec of dust on the first try.
Great tip!
One has to be OCD about cleaning, to ensure dust free surface before application!
I was able to install it in one go without any dust particles!
I had it in a very well lit room on my workbench with table lighting + my ledlenser headlight looking at the screen from various angles and gave a final wipe with the included mf cloth ( had cleaned the screen prior to final wipe with included ipa swab quite a few times)just before removing the film to install glas.tr.
Not to mention I minimized airflow throughout the room which really helped to prevent dust movement and recontamination of the screen surface!

not if you dust is on the middle
and if you have a cat or dog , it will be a miss
i use your method always when there is dust at the corners or edges so it easy to remove it
Thanks for this. I ruined and discarded a glass screen protector because I tried to remove dust using the old tape method. By the time I was done so much other stuff had landed on the sticky side that I gave up. I then tried water but it was too sticky to make a difference. I may buy another one now knowing I can use rubbing alcohol!
If you're really nuts about no hazing from alcohol then use some true 190 proof Everclear.
Also, use a bunch of bursts from a can of compressed just before you apply the protector, but be careful to not blow anything on the exposed backing.
I would use an isopropyl or ethyl type alcohol, no acetone.
I've always just gone into my bathroom, run the shower at hot until the mirror glass begins fogging up, clean off my phone screen, apply the protector.
The steam will weigh down the dust particles in the air allowing you to install your screen protector without finding dust immediately after you just cleaned it.

That sounds like an interesting idea too. Only downside I might see is if the steam gets between the glass and the phone, and the steam is from impure water (no tap water is perfectly pure), and those mineral deposits become visible in between the glass someday. But I'm probably overthinking it. Will have to do an install myself in a few weeks, tough to decide between the steam room and the alcohol methods.

That's why I said "as soon as the mirror starts to fog up" instead of "wait until everything's so foggy you can barely see in front of your face".
You can also wait until you start seeing some steam, then open your bathroom door a crack and turn off the shower. That'll stop the accumulation of steam but still allow you to proceed with the installation.

I've just seen a handful of stories in this forum where people have peeled up their glass and when they've put it back down, the corner they peeeled from won't lay flat.
I've seen a few videos on how to apply a tempered glass screen protector, but I'd like a few tips on how to apply one from those who have done it without any bubbles and problems.
What should I do to apply one without any problems? I have a new tempered glass screen protector and I want to install it without any problems.
TIA

Not gonna have bubble from a tempered glass screen protector. Most important thing is cleanliness. Removing every possible piece of dust/fiber/dirt/fingerprints/etc from the phone will make the application much cleaner and nicer. That, a steady hand, and some patience. But, this is probably better off in the actual forum about Accessories.
I applied a few screen protectors using as reference yt videos (nothing I invented).
Overall it's important to:
- plan plan plan. do your homework, see how and where it should fit (you can use the hinge method, but I usually find that a lot more error prone than good old preparation and careful placement and a lot of patience).
- work in a well lit environment.
- work in a clean environment (it is very well worth to apply the protector in the bathroom after a shower, or with the hot water running - settling all the dust).
- use no marks sticky tape the ones that are translucent white are the best - no need for any brand or something).
- clean the screen with a micro fiber cloth and some screen cleaning products (you should not over do it but it should usually clean and smudge / oil / lint free).
- use pieces of sticky tape to "tap and remove" any visible dust from the screen (usually I use a led flashlight to create an alternate spotlight on the screen to find dust).
- apply the protector and try to get it right in the first go (it is fairly important for glass protectors to not lift them). for regular protectors you can always lift them and remove dust, but double check about glass ones because those should not be lifted and reapplied as far as I know.
- smudge any bubbles as per the screen protector instructions.
in installed the MIME featherglass temperred screen protector...
suggestions?? CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN enviorment
(i did this)
go to your bathroom, wipe the counters clean....
pre clean your screen with a non streak cleaner...
clean it using a non fiber cloth for glasses
turn shower head to HOT and let it run a few minutes until your mirrors start to fog mirrors
wash hands, (no greasy fingers for this)
turn shower off, and leave door closed. start the process
once again, wipe the screen again! make sure u shake the cloth and wipe again
look at different angles to make sure its not dusty
take film off screen protector... hold by borders using the very tips of fingers
start by getting real close to the earpiece, center it, and ensure the borders are even....
keep getting closer, once it makes contact with earpiece and its centered, put a finger on it lightly to prevent movement...
before letting the screen protector down, make sure its lined up to be straight and just start to let gravity make the contact
squeeze bubbles starting from center towards borders if needed... i had not a single bubble...
i had to peel mine up to aligh it perfectly because i didnt do this above the first time
now i have a perfect protector with no dust, no bubbles and its awesome

my bathroom doesn't have a counter, so I guess I'll leave my room for a couple of hours with the windows shut and try that! thanks for the tips!
I read somewhere in the past about using one of those GPS windshield (glass) mounts for installation.
It worked like a charm for me. What you do is stick the mount in the center of the tempered glass protector.. and drop it onto the screen. It's much easier to place perfectly and no accidental fingerprints along the edges.

This thread was about how you should apply a tempered glass protector.. All I can see is you suggesting to buy a new screen protector.
Besides that, you do realize that this thread is over 3 months old, right?
Otaofans only makes posts that promote the oato screen protectors. And for that reason alone I vote that none of us ever buy an oato product. Who's with me?

I ended up with few of the small spiderweb bubbles under my Nilkin screen protector I installed last night. A few along the very top edge of the glass, and a few at the bottom. I am currently trying the binder clip with micro-fiber cloths trick to apply pressure and remove them. If that doesn't work, I saw a mention of putting the phone in a plastic bag and using a vaccuum hose.
1.) Has the vaccuum trick worked for anybody here.
2.) I got to thinking about this. I have a foodsaver vaccuum sealer for storing food. Would this do a better job of pulling out the bubbles since it creates a better seal?
I don't see how it could hurt the phone in any way. Others thoughts on this?
-Jeremy
What i would suggest :
Clean the screen with piece of cloth ( Mostly comes with the package)
Get some tape 2 pcs...
place one on the top of the screen protector , and pull it slowly to remove the screenprotector
get the other piece of tape and tape it around ur finger (Inside out) now with 1 finger u would pull the screen protector up
and with the other u would tap the screen where the bubbles are , this will make the bubbles go away!
Then just replace the screen protector and remove the tape, DONE!
PS: If this didn't help , then send your device to me i will fix it for free :good:
Bubbles are created by dust on the screen. I read someone suggest lift the protector with one piece of sticky tape then use another to remove the dust from the screen and protector. Do this for each bubble
Edit. Crap. Teaches me not to read the replies

Assuming its not dust....just a bubble, like the huge one to the right of the led notification ....I used a thin cloth and an adjustable wrench and tighten the wrench firmly on the bubble...with the cloth protecting the phone of course. In 20 minutes per bubble....I had none. Gone for good.
Mime ghost glass BTW.
Sent from my N5 cell phone telephone....
I would suggest not doing it during night time. Do it on a very illuminated area. Clean with the provided cloth uniformly until looks perfect. I my self always blow the screen during the sticking process and never get dust between screen and protector. If any bubble, sweep it with a credit card before removing the top layer.
As someone said once you have them its a fail. I use the glass ones I know they crazy prices but I do the steam room bit and drop them on. No bubbles.

You may (or may not) have noticed it is easier to apply screen protectors at times; you could apply them all day flawlessly, and other days they just don't play ball. The reason is humidity! The more humid the environment the less chance there is of dust particles wizzing around. Typically this will be summer here in the UK where its gets really humid. To replicate the humidity in colder climates / seasons, you can run a hot shower or bath and let the bathroom steam up. The screen protector should apply perfectly there, but you don't want to spend to long there with your precious phone, condensation and all. You could also try bowls of steaming hot water around the area you're going to be applying the screen protector in.
Be sure to apply common sense before applying the screen protectors if you're going to be using the above mentioned methods and the usual rules apply, clean the screen etc before hand.
