hi all,
i facing these worst reflections in my pics. is it normal? if not anyone know how to overcome this problem..? I'm attaching a picture please check and guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Grab some degreaser such as Goo Gone and using a lint free cloth (microfiber), dab it and let it sit for about a minute.
Wipe it clean, and use some isopropyl alcohol to clear away any left over residue from the goo gone.
If it persists, then it's likely a smudge on the inside of the glass, or camera defect, in which case you should RMA it.

Has anyone else noticed that the recessed lens for the Aria camera attracts lint from your pocket, and you really can't easily clean that lint off without something like a Q-tip?
Seems like it'd be simple enough to have some kind of stick on film cover that you could clean externally without any tool such as a Q-tip. With lint in there, the camera is pretty much useless. With a clean lens, the camera works great.
Can anyone suggest a good solution to this problem?
I have noticed the exact same thing you are mentioning. I wish they would have done something better with the design but oh well! Don't have any good solutions but will monitor this thread to see what others do.
Rip the tip off a qtip and use it like that dry worked perfect for my camera

I think the idea was probably to keep fingerprints off.. that part works perfectly. I just twist the corner of a kleenex/papertowel/napkin and stick it in there & turn it
Don't use a twisted napkin/etc... good way to get scratches. Now, I know our Aria isn't like a Nikon DSLR... but still, a scratched lense will kill any photos you take.
Get something like a lens pen or an air cleaning blower. They're fairly cheap, and can be used with multiple devices... not just your Aria!
Edit: Another item you can use - for all the guys out there with electric shavers - the little brushes that come with your shaver to clean the heads/etc can also be used to clean out the camera for the Aria. (I noticed one on my desk and wanted to add to this.)
Duplicate post........
Put black tape over the cam grill and pull off when using the camera. Like a manual shutter haha.

OK obviously you can just clean it by jamming something in there or carry around a lens cleaning pen or whatever, that's not the point. The point is to come up with a solution that is not such a pain to clean it. My wife & daughter both have iPhones and they just take them out of their pocket and shoot a picture. If I'm going to have to clean the danged lens with a q-tip or a lens cleaning cloth or whatever EVERY TIME I USE IT then the camera is pretty much totally useless on this phone.
A clear plastic cover would work brilliantly. The reason this collects lint is because the lens is down in a hole. It wouldn't collect lint if there was a lens surface flush with the exterior of the phone. Also a lens surface level with the exterior of the phone would be very easy to wipe off with your shirt tail or whatever if it had a fingerprint on it. But the lint is guaranteed to be there if you put your phone in your pocket as it is and it's a royal pain to get it clean.

eh not quite that easy of a solution. HTC Tilt 2 had a plastic cover flush with the backcover of the phone to cover and protect the recessed camera lens. it still managed to take horrible shots with it...because the plastic cover was prone to getting tiny scratches almost impossible to see, but picked up by the camera lens. removing the cover made pictures FAR clearer and better.
unless they start making gorrilla glass to cover and protect the camera lens..we're stuck with wipe and shoot.
Pretty straightforward.
How do you clean your precious DZ/G2?
I for one use a compressed air tube to clear the dust behind the screen, and wipe with a clean cloth and a screen cleaning solution to wipe out smudges and fingerprints
Cloth for the screen.
A tiny bit of rubbing alcohol and some paper for the H/W keyboard and the rest of the device, but avoid contact with the screen. Although I don't usually find myself cleaning it. o.o

With dust behind the screen you mean between the glass and the lcd? If so could you tell me step by step how you get rid of the dust.
Thank you

No,no, I'd wish. :-D
I was referring to the part where the hinges lie, beneath the screen, next to the keyboard.
And I forgot to mention it. Well, cotton buds it is. XD
I've put a little of dishwasher soap into the a spray bottle and spray on the cloth then used that to wipe the phone. I then rinse the cloth with water and made sure i squeeze all the water out of the cloth and wipe away the soap. then wipe it again with a dry cloth. Would the dishwasher soap be able to damage the screen? I did notice that the digitizer area seem to appear more prominent now after i did that (as in it doesn't blend in with the black sides as much as before)
Dont use dishwater soap to wash your screen..
I guess it causes scratches...

just use your breath and a microfiber cloth....
Your nexus 4 should be taken off your hands for such negligence.... Ever heard of micro fibre ...?

Good god almighty that's a lot of work to clean your screen/protector. I just drop a dab of spit, wipe with undershirt and I'm done. > 5 seconds
i'm kind of a clean freak, but yeah i think i made a big mistake. There's probably some kind of chemical coating on top fo the screen that keeps it black and blend in with the whole phone.
would someone be kind enough to upload a picture of their nexus 4 with the screen off for me to compare?
There's usually an oleophobic type coating which helps repel oil from your skin and keeps it easy to clean. I would just use water and a microfiber cloth, if it's some kind of grease on a rare occasion, I use something like diluted rubbing alcohol on a cloth to remove the grease, use as sparingly as possible.

Thanks for the tips. I did notice that it was super smooth and slippery when i first get it and it was nearly impossible to put on finger print.
Let me be more specific of what I did, I use a drop of soap called Palmalive Ultra(http://www.colgate.com/app/Palmolive/US/EN/Product-Ingredients.cwsp used for washing dishes) and mix it in a container about the size of a table spoon. Do you think that is able to take out the oleophobic coating or damage the screen? Also doesn't the smoothing coating eventually wears off in a week or so?

it's just your imagination. if it's safe to use on your skin of course it's safe on glass

I hope so. Toothpaste for example, you can use it in your mouth, but that stuff will scratch glass like it was mawed by a bear. Its not just glass, I'm worried that it might take off the coating on top of the glass.
Just use water? I think dish soap is mild enough to use
I suggest everyone just use water. For me its too late. By the way does your phone still have that slippery feel like when you first got it?
Use eye glasses spray cleaner and microfiber cloth.
Hey XDA,
i have got sort of grinding marks on the left Side of the Display.
It is really annoying if light shines into the Display.
Is there a Trick to get them out, or can you tell me some good stuff to polish that out?
These are mostly pretty soft "scratch-areas", not really deep.
Thanks in Advance and sorry for my english ^^'
Cheers, ShockBuddy

Hey
I don't really see a scratch there.
just gently wipe it off with a folded cotton cloth. if you need just pour 2 or 3 drops of water on the cloth first.
make sure you don't drop water directly on your phone.

Image Quality sucks, yeah.
Its a pattern of really fine scratches, Water does not help with that.

oh okay, I thought that the area is just a lil smudgy and water would help that.
but for scratches i am afraid you will have to live with. Try putting on a matte screen protector the thickness of the protector
prevents day to day scratches. I use the thin ones and trust me if there are keys in your pocket your screen will get scratched!
Does anyone know what could be... when using the s pen y have to press it hard the tip doesnt slide smooth at the center of the screen...why? Its already clean, changed the s pen tip and nothing any help? :/
Does it also happen if you keep the pen at the same angle from up to down?

Try cleaning it with pure ethanol (not booze! The medical variant.) or denatured alcohol (for sale in any drugstore). That'll get rid of anything that shouldn't be on there.
It's glass, so if you apply the liquid to a cloth there's no risk of damage.
The tip of the Spen is coated in a thin rubber layer, by the way
