[Q] Screen scratches - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before some blighter on a motorbike nicked my G2, I noticed it had a terrible tendency to get scratched on the screen. Just very small ones, but very noticeable close up.
Has anyone else got this problem?

I also noticed a few hairline thin scratches on my screen. That's why I know have a screen shield on

[Q] Screen protector starting to peel? Help!

Hey all, the screen protector on my N4 is starting to peel off the sides and it's been bothering me quite a bit lately. I tried applying some of the solution (water/soap) on the parts that are peeling but it doesn't seem to work, does anyone have a solution or a good trick?
Screen protector is a BestSkinsEver.
That's the trouble of screen protectors on curved glass.
You may have to contact BSE to see if they recommend anything or if they will send you a replacement.

no matter what you do it'll eventually always end up that way. some screen protectors specially wet installs stick better than others but for this particular phone you'll eventually run into that problem because of how the glass is curved at the edges so it doesn't get a proper stick.

[QUESTION ] Oleophobic coating

So I had my LG G2 for a few weeks now, and I noticed a couple of hairline scratches on my phone screen, particularly on the areas where my finger touches often. It's not easily seen and cannot be felt, but it annoys the hell out of me. So I tried using applesauce, turtle wax scratch remover, and they didn't work, in fact they rubbed some oleophobic coating off. I ended up having a rough screen with the scratches still there. I'm looking into the Oleophobic coating online and read that it helps hide the scratches from the screen while restoring it's slickness at the same time. I wonder if it could help me?

I looked around and it might work I've never used it so I wouldn't know
I know this doesnt help but you should have considered a oleophobic coated screen protector when you first got the phone lol

I know haha. Unfortunately glass screen protectors are hard to come by in my area, so I had to order a couple from amazon. And it hasn't arrive yet, so I'm forced to use it without screen protectors for now.

[Q] glass panel scratches easy?

I have owned my sharp aquos crystal for about five days. No case no screen protector. Only after five days did I notice scratches all around the glass panel. Is anyone else besides me experiencing this problem. Is there a safe way to remove the scratches (they are light but I can see them still)
it isn't glass, that is why. it is made of plastic
Seeing that the front panel is completely covered in "glass" that actually is raised it would've been very stupid of sharp to use real glass. Even gorilla glass 3 will shatter with a drop if it is on a phone in the manner that it is on the aquos

Technically 'Acrylic'. But yes this phone will scratch pretty easily and the type of material it is will leave a pretty visible mark if it's deep enough.
Similar to this http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/A0/windshield-scratches-1211-mdn.jpg
Good news is that it won't break as easily if dropped, but say good by to those nice corners.
I only have had tge phone for like four days and it has three really bad scratches and one of the scratches is long and straight down near the center of the screen. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE SCRATCHES FROM ACRYLIC. I tried toothpaste but it did Bad enough the light bleed is distracting, now i have to be annoyed by this as well. Please help.
Scratches
I have the 306SH for 2 weeks and no scratches yet.
5 days old and two scratches later. Observations
My Aquos is now 5 days old and I can see two very fine 1/2" scratches already. I fear for the worst on this device over time. I had a ZTE N9500 with Gorilla glass and it was tough as nails. It had a very good feel when touched and was good at not holding fingerprints. I also use a capacitive touch pen stylus on the phones for notes and there I can see a noticeable difference. The glass is just superior. The Aquos is pretty, but it's Acrylic screen hold fingerprints far worst than the glass. With regards to the stylus, it's almost unusable on the Aquos screen. It's doesn't slide smooth and kind of sticks to the screen as its being dragged creating breaks in the lines being drawn. Anyone using a capacitive stylus with the squishy rubber bulb top to avoid fat finger keyboarding maybe deeply disappointed with this screen.
You guys don't believe in screen protectors? All my phones have gorilla glass but I still have screen protectors on them. Scratches will always happen sooner or later on phones eventually.

Can these dust particles stuck under my tempered glass really scratch my screen?

Heeyoo!!
So I got the otterbox alpha glass screen protector for my s7 edge and I am really bothered by the dust under it. I didn't install it the person at the store did. So besides the dust the screen protector has been great, it fits cases fine and its sensitivity is pretty good and its clear.
So I noticed a dust spot near the edge, its black and looks like its on the protector itself and not the screen (it is near the more stories arrow in this picture): http://imgur.com/a/bP2TG
Is this just dust/lint or is it something else, it doesn't look like grit to me.
Also recently I saw this piece of dust and It does seem either it just flew in or was there beforehand I didn't notice (its near the flash): http://imgur.com/a/gfxN8
This looks like lint or something.
I don't want to take the protector off unless it breaks or if the adhesive stops working and it peels off, so should i be worried about screen damage if I keep it on? I am just extremely paranoid... :laugh:

LeEco Pro 3, anyone using it withou ANY screen protector?

The stock screen protector is rubbing off so I replaced it with a new one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ZTMLG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unlike the stock one, this one is the hard glass. (the stock one is a film).
The problem with this screen protector is that it is a grease/finger print magnet. Ususally I can remove the grease/finger print from the screen by rubbing it on my shirt. With this one, it just moves the finger print grease around. No my shirt is not greasy because I tried it on another phone and it didn't smear the grease around. The only way to get a clean screen is if I use a micro fiber clothe with some water. Also I noticed that my screen is not as bright as before with the new screen protector, especially when using it outdoors.
I was thinking about remove the screen protector all together. Since our phone has Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3, it "should" be fine. But before I remove the new screen protector, just wondering if anyone is going bare on the screen and if they have any issues with scratched screen.
Thanks
I haven't had any screen protector on my phone since october. Screen is fine, although I haven't dropped my phone.
I have been using the same screen protector which i bought from aliexpress and i can feel the brightness problem but i am fine with it since this tmp glass removes entirely the ugly black borders from the phone.
I dont know if there is a good color tempered glass which does both.
Just removed the aftermarket screen protector today and going bare. So far it seems fine and resistant to scratches as well. It feels a lot better than the stock screen protector or the aftermarket one. It is a lot brighter and really smooth. Another thing that I noticed is that it is a lot more sensitive to the touch.
Never used any sort of screen protector on my phones. Never a single scratch.
As long as you do not put any other items in a pocket with a phone, it should be fine.
I have tried 3-4 different screen protectors and none of them seem to stick properly. They never want to stick on either (or both) the left and right sides of the screen. idk what the issue is but I've never had that problem on other phones
I'm too afraid to not use any screen protector. The camera lens scratches so easily that I don't trust the glass at all.

I Have the same problem. While the screen protector is ok and protects the phone, it catches fingerprints and the most anoying thing, outside it reflects everything and I can't see very well. I didn't find any matte or anti-glare tempered glass screen for le pro 3. Only iphone and something else. If anyone finds something good post a link please.

It has been a week now since I removed all screen protector and I am happy that I did it. It feels so much better and I can say that the gorilla glass on this is legit. I work in a warehouse and I have my keys and a box cutter in my pockets. I try to keep them away from my phone but when you are moving fast, sometimes the box cutter ends up in the same packet as my phone. So far still no scratch on the screen.
I'm still keeping mine, even if reflects everything because on my old phone covered with full cover, front and back, dropped on a corner of the screen, the screen protector took the fall and broke instead of the actual screen. So better to be cautios.
Mine came with a screen protector (X727), but I ripped it off very quickly. I haven't broken a single smartphone yet.
No screen protector since day one. No case either. Dropped it few times and cosmetic glass around camera cracked. Front screen is pristine, which is surprising since I am not careful with it.

Found these cases on Amazon that provide screen protection. I have used similar cases on other devices and have had good luck in preserving the screen without the use of a screen protector:
kw mobile canvas case
kw mobile cover shell case
Never used any screen protector on my smartphones, since my first Sony Ericson P800 years before the first iPhone were released...
Never broke the screen, had a few small scratches on some of them (not all though), and I usually keep my devices for 3 to 4 years. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 2, the screen is still perfect.
I will not put any screen protector on my Le Pro 3 either...
I was using the stock screen protector which was preinstalled until today. Sand scratched it so I removed it.

Is anyone having issues with corners of your tempered glass protectors not adhering properly? I'm getting white ghosting all around the protector. Replacement ones had the same effect...

Same problem for me.I think its because of the curve of the screen
I got the full coverage one from aliex, no problems with adhesion, but it's an awfull magnet for smudges and fingerprints, and dulls the colors of the screen, gonna run it a few days just for kicks, but I'll remove it for sure.
And oh, havent had a screen protector, not since day one, and no problems, not a scratch on my phone (I do take care of my gadgets though)

mine doesn't even cover the screen fully...baffled by this, honestly.
I removed screen protector today. Got sick of dust and other sht all around due to corners of glass not adhering properly. The phone looks much better, so far so good.
Just in case try to avoid keeping it with keys etc. Also check this .
