Do u have a screen protector on your screen? My sensor didn't work right cause my screen protector was blocking my sensor. I now have one with a cutout for the sensor and it works fine.

They make them with cut outs so u can just buy another one if u want. I would suggest this http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin I use the case opriomized one and I got the full body one so I can use the back screen protector. I threw the side protectors out.

Don`t think you can hide it with a screen protector, but you could try. Maybe it will look a bit better. Best way would be to have the screen replaced. Didn`t you use a case or bumper? It is a glassy phone proned to shatter on impact.

Did you even try Google? If it's not as bad as the one in the linked guide, just cover it with a scratch protector and you won't be able to notice it.

Alright, I am using a poetic borderline with my nexus, I ordered a nillkin screen protector... Hope it works!!!

Okay, the screen protector turned out to be matte and it just made the scratch look worse. Ordering a wet install screen protector soon.. Any idea if they will work?? I can feel the scratch when I run my finger nails over it and it is clearly visible outdoors!!

Only a new screen can solve your problem

[Q] Galaxy S4 scratch

Hello
I have an I9505 and tried to see how gorilla glass is doing vs a knife
Now i have some tiny scratches that are seen only when screen is not clean. They are seen if u put finger on then but after the screen is cleaned they disapeer and reapeer when fingers are on screen
My answer is:
If i will polish my phone with special solution does the scratches disapeer?
Thanks in advanced

Maybe very very light scratches, wouldn`t recommend it though. Instead get a screen protector.

A polish will destroy the coating. Then you maybe have a always dirty looking Display. Using a screen protector is a better way and you can't see little scratches with the screen protector on the Display.

S4 Screen

I have a question, today i noticed that i got a little scratch on my screen and that caused some visible pixels in the white color, is that reparable ?? And what caused that ??
- I'm using no protection of any kind for the moment, if i buy a screen protector can that scratch become kinda hidden ??

Samsung Gave ME FAKE Gorilla Glass ? [PICTURES][

What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?

What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen

I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Doesn't look like a professional finish at all

i am tlaking about botton and upside ( not middle , no problm in middle that is just fringer print ) but do you see yellow tint like foggy and also coating fade away littile ?

Yes I do, had kind of the same thing at my i9305. Seems weird but has no impact. If it bothers you you can always take it back

it really bothers me it looks so ugly
baught new phone happily and this is the result.
I have one year warranty of Jarir Qatar but problem is i am in india , i am not going there anymore.
let me see anyway to reach them else i will replace the screen by paying money in india itself
because i really feel some problem with this glass.

Can't you take it direct to Samsung?

Definitely looks like the screen protector is causing it. Can you remove the screen protector and see if that removes the tint?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.

Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.

It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.

I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?
