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.

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?

LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.

i dont get it

Fingerprint and face grease? Just wipe it off is all

Looks like fingerprint smudges.

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...

Might be able to get away with a warranty claim as it's all damaged underneath, just say you didn't drop it or anything

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.

[Q] While fixing my screen I broke this, phone still working

So my phone's screen was not working. I bought a new screen and while installing it I accidentally broke the part highlighted below on my motherboard. Can anyone tell me what this part is.

I have reassembled it and it is working as expected, but I just wanted to check what I have damaged.

I think that's for the NFC? Don't quote me but I believe it would be so since the back over has the contacts. I could be wrong though

I don't think so. Take a look at this photo from iFixit's Nexus 4 teardown. From what I've understood, those four squared contacts in the middle on the left side are for NFC. Furthermore, looking at the other contacts in the back, I doubt the highlighted part is a contact.
NB: Red parts should be links, but I haven't reached my 10-post minimum yet. I'll fix it asap but for now just search 'iFixit Nexus 4 Teardown' on Google and scroll down to step 8, it's the first photo.
Sorry for quoting anyway buddy..
