So last year my screen cracked and I got it replaced. I've noticed over the last couple months getting debris a little at a time in between the glass and digitizer. Obviously the seal they did was crap. Has anyone else had this problem and Ben able to separate the screens and clean them? Thanks!

Hello,
After some day of using I've noticed that some areas of the glass seemed to get dirty more than other and always with the same shapes.
If you clean the glass they almost disappear, to return back when you touch the screen.
Someone sayd that can be a problem of the oilophobic protection that doesn't work fine in all the glass, does anyone know anything about?

Might be the anti-fingerprint coating rubbing off. I've read of that happening to people.
The oleophobic coating does wear off - some sooner than others.. Same issues as the iphone 3GS and 4
Best idea is just to clean it, get a screen protector, and be done with it
I had that problem like 3-4 days after getting my device, they where not in the same area like yours , but I went to Best Buy and got it replaced.
That happened to mines too, I was wondering what the hell it might be. I had my spots in all four corners of the display.
The general consensus, to my knowledge, is just that the oleophobic coating used to help prevent finger oils from smudging the screen is just plain ****ty and has a tendancy to wear off rather quickly.
that sucks. screen protector time.

Maybe you're right, although it's not the way i planned to solve it. :\
Thank you all, anyway.
mines messed up to. I just try not to think about it.
One tip, don't apply any pressure when wiping your phone... it will mess up the coating easily, and then that spot will always show up when you get finger oils on it.
is this issue covered under the warranty?
Hello everyone. I've been using my S4 for quite some time now, almost a year. I always kept in its protective case and had a screen protector from day one. Never dropped it. Virtually no scratches on the screen protector. A few days ago I noticed something that looked a bit like cracks. I'm attaching some images, here's how I can describe them:
they're underneath the glass
there are no markings, scratches or anything on the surface of the glass or the screen protector in that area
the sensitivity of the digitizer has not been affected, nor has the display itself
they are advancing very slowly, the first day I noticed them the smaller ones were barely visible
they almost look like air pockets in the glue that keeps the display and digitizer together (?), cracks are not that wide i think
never buying a Samsung phone again
Is this a common/known issue ? I've seen and used tons of smart gadgets, but this is the first time I've encountered such issue.
Thank you
this is really interesting

yeah thats the adhesive between screen and the glass peeling off..
Not sure what to do here. I could try to _gently_ apply some heat (via a hair dryer), but I think I rather send it to an authorized service. It's still under warranty and it's not my fault so they should fix it for free. It's not that much of an issue now, but it will kill it's resell value later. One thing to learn out of all this : Samsung - never again. Sony and LG look so much better now.
Voting for a 1.april fools joke. Seems like you've just scratched the top layer film. The clue is where
the scratch ends that has accumulated plastic (white dot)
Sorry to O.P if I'm wrong!
Once I'll get home, I'll try to snap a picture with the screen protector raised. I don't want to remove it because it was a pain installing it. It is underneath the protective glass, I didn't even give it a thought that today was April 1st.

Ok, that's the best I could, it's not really confortable holding the camera while I lift the screen protector while I try to keep it in focus. These screen protectors tend to build a lot of moisture underneath them, never expected that. Anyway, you can probably see, the problem is not a scratch on the screen protector.
My bad, proof enough! I feel sorry for you, never seen that one before.
If you now you haven't done anything wrong the blame is on Samsung. Maybe you should go with your initial thought about sending it in under warranty.
Itcould be they have seen cases like this and know about the problem. Fixing yourself seems risky. There are guides
changing the touchscreenglass on youtube.
Good luck, wathewer you choose to do! Please report back to this thread if its get fixed or not.
So the dreaded happened. Just got my g2 perfect. Set up exactly how I want it. Put lifetime screen protector on it. Got home from getting it done and poof. It flew outta my hand and cracked the glass. Now only have the digitizer works. How many people have replaced them? Is it a pita to do just the digitizer? Or should I just opt for the entire assembly? Would like your opinion s.
Thanks
I dropped my phone a month back. The glass broke and needed replacement. Since it initially fell it had this blur and a white hue. I figured it just needed the glass replaced. I was wrong.
I replaced the glass and the problem persisted. After zooming in and out some, this happened.
Can anyone shed some light on how hard, expensive or possible this is to fix?
Thanks,
I have an S8 that I got from my girlfriend after she upgraded. It's got some pretty gnarly glass damage; chunks missing from 3 out of 4 corners in the front, 2 in the back, and associated cracks. Miraculously, the digitizer, camera lenses, etc. are undamaged. My plan was to use a whitestone dome glass kit on it hoping the adhesive would fill in the cracks/gaps and at least keep it from getting worse. I'm concerned that the loca that it comes with would be too soft and might peel off taking glass with it. I'm thinking about using a harder loca like a tp-1000n instead. Has anyone tried anything similar before?
Do an update if you do so. My sister has my old S8 and she's just cracked the down right corner.
If you got lucky with 'fixing' the problem, maybe I can too.
It turns out that my gf used a dome glass on her new phone (note 9). So I dug out a broken glass screen from my junk parts stash and used the left over adhesive on it to see how it would flow into the cracks.
After curing it looks pretty decent, the smaller hairline cracks are fainter. It filled in a small gap nicely. But like I thought the stuff that comes in the whitestone kit is too thin/soft to fill in larger gaps like on the corners of my s8. So I'm going to order a couple of different locas and experiment. Good thing I bought her a nice uv nail lamp a while back lol.
I got the dome glass installed, and so far so good. It filled in the cracks nicely. The corners will need some patching though. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/qk5gzzq
