Dark mark on leather back, overheating battery? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I go my MXPE with the leather back and this morning I noticed a dark spot on the leather this morning on my way to work. I get dark spots on the leather when I splash water on it, and I was at a bar last night with the phone sitting on the table so it could have been sitting in some water from the condensation from the glasses there. But every other time I've gotten it wet the color returns to normal after a few hours. It has stayed the same color all day so I'm not sure if it's a water thing or if maybe my battery could have gotten hot enough while it was on the charger overnight to produce the burned look on the leather.
Anybody got an idea or insight?

What setting do you use? Why?
I have a skin condition on the complete undersides of my hands (I believe it's called dermatitis or eczema) that causes them to be abnormally dry and peel thick layers off, almost 100% of the time.
Capacitive touch screens usually aren't sensitive enough for the weak current that passes through the tips of my fingers, but this setting, even with a screen protector, will detect one of my digits even if I hold it mere nanometers above the screen.
I also hated the jumpyness of swiping between homescreens due to 10 pixel movement detection. Bleh.
P.S. Did anybody else's Tapatalk favorites break recently? Mine just did.

Plastic-Dipped my Battery Back

lol, I'm a whore with this stuff. It's mostly on my car. I decided to try it on my battery back. The outcome is nice because it's a lot more grippy. The kicker is if it doesn't come out right or whatever it peels off and has the characteristics of Balloon rubber.

looks nice n sleek
care to share the procedure to do this?
I like. Where can you get this done ?
All you need is a Can of Plastic-Dip that you can get at your local hardware store in the paint section (Ace, HomeDepot, and Lowes). Put some newspaper down, clean the battery cover (for prep), spray (about 5in. away from the piece), and wait about 30 min. to an hr. between coats. If it doesn't take well, peel away as shown.
Looks nice! But doesn't this plastic-dipped back cover smell a little bit "unpleasantly"?
Nope, goes away.
It was a material originally for grips like if the original rubber came of this would replace it.

watermark on screen

i fixed the xtreme guard on my device, i waited over 24 hours to turn it back on and i notice water mark on the screen, is it just wet patches and should dry out or damaged screen?
The device was turned off before applying anything and only turned on after 24 hours+

if yes then this is a damaged screen & will have to be repaired

Cracked screen and a bad replacement

So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.

Cheap hotplate for broken screen repair

Haven't seen it used anywhere before so thought I would post it up. Couldn't justify buying a hot plate for one screen repair, and heat guns just seem a bit temperamental.
...How can I heat my screen evenly to 100DegC and melt the LOCA???
Lightbulb moment - A double boiler!!
Big pot full of water with another empty pot sitting on top. Water can only boil at or around 100degC (depending on how far above sea level you are).
Worked great, nice and cheap and no chance of burning the LCD. Used a playing card to separate the glass from the LCD.
