i dont think so........

wow I want some lol wouldn't let it go near my nexus though.. Anyone tried it on anything?

Its alcohol based and water free so it can't cause shorts, the only damage a cleaner is likely to do

whats the point when your phone will get dirty the next time you unlock the screen or answer the phone when it place on your face? marketing gimmick at it's finest!

Uh... actually dirt and oils build up on devices after prolonged use. Wiping off the phone doesn't take everything off. Using the foam cleaner would take off all the buildup that results from use.
I'd use it...then just wipe it off regularly and use the foam once a month or so to disinfect and take off the grime buildup. Not sure about dropping $20 on it though.

Sounds good...I like my N1 clean & shiny!

I've heard you can just put a few drops of rubbing alcohol on your phone and rub till it dries for 1/100000000th of the price....

I bought an adjustable spray bottle... the type with the screw nozzle to adjust from a stream to a mist. A FINE mist of alcohol works great... but foam is nifty. Anyway, I started doing that after trying Pledge for Electronics. It's obvious it's mostly alcohol.

Clean ear piece grill?

Anyone have any ideas on how I can go about cleaning the ear-piece grill? I see some flakes of string/hair, no sure what it is, or just string particles that is stuck there that I'm having difficulty removing. Should I go with the canned air route? Or do I risk blowing the stuff INSIDE the ear-piece and consequently, the phone?
Any ideas are welcome.

i use a lump of bluetack

Interesting. I'll give that a shot. Lawl. I just used tweezers and those seem to work as well, though it couldn't get the tiny non-string particles.
Cheers.

I've usually just been using qtips (lightly dampened, then dry), and just blowing into it with my mouth. I've avoided using canned air just because I'd be worried about damaging the speaker inside. That might not be a valid concern, but I haven't bothered finding out.

Be really CAREFUL!!!! with tweezers because they can chip and scratch off the black paint thats on mesh type grill

Cleaning X10i

Whats the best way of cleaning the phone?
Started getting bits of dust inbetween the cracks, between the screen and the case, aswell as in the earphone speaker bit.
Any reasonable way of cleaning it?

Something gentle like a sand blaster should do it.
On a serious note, i just use that flimsy pos case they include. Mine was stretched to hell inside a week.

To get my x10 clean I lightly vacuum the earpeice and buttons, then buff with a little Zymol wax. Perfection

[Q] Need some help with a super glue issue.

Well by error i get super glue over my phone, but at least is just a little and only over the metallic bezel, now i've searched about how to remove that and in almost sites said that the best thing is to use "acetone" or the thing to remove nail polish that has acetone, but acetone can damage some surface like plastic, so everyone know if the bezel is true metal? If you have any better ideas hope you can help me! I'll try to get some pictures..

I wouldn't use acetone, that will cause more damage.
Simply leave it, the action of touching it and usin the phone should remove it. To speed things up, when you clean your screen use a microfibre cloth slightly dampened with a soap solution (some washing up liquid and water) and make sure you clean the area with the super glue, it will disappear given a bit of time. However it may leave behind some marks in the chrome effect, but hopefully not.

Try to "peel" it off. It should go eventually.
If you want to use acetone put a veeeery small amount on an cotton bud and try to minimize the exposure of the phone to it. Just gently wipe the super glue affected area. Also have a clean cloth at hand. One the super glue has softened, wipe it clean fast

I think about exactly the same you stated, but i was waiting that someone can help me out here. Btw do you guys think that even on that metalic bezel, acetone could damage it?

Superglue will wear off. Pick it at it with your fingernail for a few days. Seriously.

Today I replaced my M8 Battery... When I opened the phone..... See it from your on eyes. In my case the replacement of the columns covers made a huge difference.

Is it pretty easy to pop those off and put them back on without damaging the phone?

Yes, it is simple. First of all you should warm the covers with a hair dryer or heat gun. Then using a spatula easily removes them. On youtube you will find several videos. Covers I bought on Ebay.

What did you use to glue the new covers back on? Any additional adhesive?

The same can be achieved by using a tooth brush and lightly brushing on the speaker grills...
Over time sweat and dust blocks the speaker grills... just use a fine brush.
My m8 speaker volume was so bad, before cleaning, that I couldn't receive calls Outdoors without headset...
No offense to OP...

They come off pretty easy with a heat source like what's been said, but I wanted to add the note that the grills are rather brittle, and flimsy. Don't do like I did and accidentally break it in half while cleaning it. I had mine held to a table, and was rubbing it with rubbing alcohol to remove the adhesive, and it caught on the cloth, and got pulled back toward my hand (that was holding it down) folding it in half causing it to immediately break. I got careless, so maybe someone can benefit from my screw-up.

The covers come with built-in adhesive.
