Dust between screen and sides

Any ideas on how to protect the space between the screen and front edge of this awesome phone?
The gel case from sprint doesn't cover this gap, and there doesn't seem to be many cases out yet to fit the NS4g.
Is this even something to be concerned with?

ive never had an issues with sides usually can just blow and what ever if anything gets in between usually comes out.
And the screen is fused to the touch glass with adhesive no dust is getting between screen so no worries

The dust gets in the exact same place you referenced with me too, and I always get panicky, but I find that if I try to remove it myself, it just ends up worse somehow. They just seem to dissapear after some time in my pocket though. I'll check a few hours later, and bam, the dust isn't there anymore.

This product looks great to get the dust particles from my pocket out of my devices. Im gonna hit up a couple stores and pick this up, if its not off the wall expensive.

Fingerprint and face grease? Just wipe it off is all

Looks like fingerprint smudges.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Looks like face imprint, wash face, use a face lotion for oily skin, and wipe screen....

damp cloth with some dish detergent should take that off in a few seconds. Warm for best results.

I believe aliens are sending you messages. I can roughly translate it:
"Wash your hands"

Is it Jesus?

I think it's the Virgin Mary. :good:

I literally looks like a face smudge just wipe it off

It looks like they are under the screen. When I push it down, they get more dark but always remain there.

I have the same problem !
No seriously, I have the same problem ...
I just got the nexus and right out of the box (after peeling the plastic) I noticed the same thing... At first I thought it was the "peeling glue" but I couldn't get rid of it (I tried a fiber cloth).
The next day I took it to a local phone shop and they were surprised too, they tried different things and couldn't get rid of it....
I Googled it and found this post, I tried the detergent method (and yes it remove all my finger marks but those weird stains remained, I looked closely and it looks like it's bellow the screen itself, any one having the same issue and new suggestions?

Make as much fun as you want. I came across the exact same problem. I can't clean it off. I think they may have used a coating when making the screens and it is wearing off. That's why this happens.

OK so I called Google and they sent me a replacement device. You might want to look into that option.

somebody else found a solution i cant find the solution to this problem can u @ least tell me what to replace cause i dont have guarantee...?I can post a video about that stain btw...

Or maybe it could be a face smudge>..

What do you use to clean your One?

Hello guys
Since I absolutely love the way the One looks and feels, I try to clean it almost daily in order to preserve its appearance, color and shape; not only because I want to preserve it, but also because I use the HTC Double Dip Flip cover and that seems to garner dust inside, especially because the sides aren't actually protected. Since the One has a brushed aluminum body like my MacBook Pro, I use the same cleaning tools in order to clean the body.

I use one solution and micro-fiber cloth for the screen, and another solution and fiber cloth for the body.

Microfibre cloth and plain jane club soda - usually flat since I get 2L bottles and use it for windows, glasses, mirrors, cat puke... Works wonders, and you can drink it in a pinch.

Ha ha.. now that's an all-in-one drink.

i will never use a microfiber cloth to clean a screen again, too many times dirt(tiny grains of sand) will get in the cloth without you noticing and then when you rub your screen you will scratch it (especially not in cairo with the desert so close by, even in holland we sometimes get the sahara sand in the air...)

This stuff is great for getting dust and debris out of crevices, ports, and trim like the holes in the speaker covers.

Just use a damp piece of cloth, then toothpaste for the plastics.

toothpaste is quite abbrasive and will really damage platics in time

Spontaneous cacked rear glass, Google warranty won't cover.

I placed my phone on a table today after arriving into a restaurant from the cold, and after a few moments thought to myself "what's that sound?", only to look to my phone and see that the rear had cracks spreading over its entirety. I then noticed there were a few grains of salt/sugar on the table where I'd placed the device. Now, I can't say for sure whether the cracking is down to the temperature change or the grains (though theses grains are clearly softer than the glass), but I can say with certainty that there was no impact.
After contacting Google's UK customer service, I've been told that any cracked glass issues are classed as user damage, regardless of the occurrence. I have seen similar reports around xda, suggesting the issue could well be down to a weakness in the rear glass.
I wonder if anyone had success in getting Google to issue a refund/replacement for this kind of problem due to manufacturing faults (which is all I can put this down to), or have suggestions on how to proceed with this.

There are replacements on eBay. They really aren't that expensive and it isn't that hard to replace the back.

Yeah, but it'll be hard picking out all the glass bits ._.

Op could carefully cover the back with tape before removing the back.

i would prefer matte black, but the qi coil you need to be careful of.

Can this be washed with soap? :D

You know what they say, that phones are the dirtiest things in our possession nowadays. Will this phone be safe to be washed with soap?

Excellent topic. If not, which other cleaning methods you use to clean your device?

Have washed mine twice so far, once a month, since I bought it. Everything works. The speaker sounded a bit weird, but it became normal after couple of hours.

Which soap is smartphone friendly? Dove?

You can use the same soap that is led tv friendly on phones. I'd opt for sanitizer wipes myself though.

I like to wash mine with bleach.

Can't wait for the "OMG, the rubber gasket(s) are falling off" and other moronic threads in a couple of weeks/months. That'll be fun, and I WILL laugh.

Just use a damp micro fiber cloth. Maybe put a little Windex on the cloth.
I think washing it with soap and water is a bit overboard. After you wipe it down with the damp cloth and leave it sit overnight, the phones surface isn't exactly the ideal environment for germs to live on for long periods.

If you search s7/s7E forum about water damage you will see someone actually killed it with soap.
So don't use soap. It even state in user manual not to use it ,if my memory is right.

Well, I washed mine yesterday before I posted this thread and the speaker acted strange for a few minutes, like someone mentioned here, but then it went back to normal, phone's working without issues. I probably won't use soap very often, but I do wash my phone with normal water at least once a day.

Soap will break the surface tension of water making it twice as easy to enter the phone thru all the small openings and thus increasing the chance to damage the internals of your phone. The best option is alcohol based wipes for (PC) screens, they have the ideal dampness and it disinfects.

Haha! Check this instead of destroying your phone. It uses UVC for sterilization:
