I was wondering if anyone tried to clean their earpiece-cum-speaker grill. What did you use to clean it? Mine has some fine dust particles in it and I was looking to get some tips from fellow members.

earpiece-cum-speaker grill? hahaha
just blow on it ....or get some canned air or maybe a tooth brush - something like that

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
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
Hey guys,
So I've had the Nexus 4 for around two weeks now and it's too well designed of a device for me to resort to using screen protectors although I will be getting a thin case soon since it is quite slippery. I was just wondering what some of you do in order to maintain the condition of the device. I've simply been using a dry microfiber cloth - usually used on my eyeglasses - and rubbing gently until all the smudges are gone. This keeps it quite clean for 3-4 days but I don't know if that period will shorten with prolonged use. Any and all tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!
I just usually rub it on my shirt. Takes the smudges off in one wipe

After I wash/dry my hands I use the edge of my palm, the coating is great so I don't even have to do that that often.
Sounds like a pack of microfiber cloths should do just fine for the future then! Thanks guys, still welcoming other suggestions
I keep a pack of Wireless Wipes nearby. Great product I've been using for years. http://www.wirelesswipes.com

american apparel t-shirts work surprisingly well. it makes the phone extra shiny!
well it works just like a microfiber cloth.
any sunglasses pouch works well too!
I use optical wipes on my phones, gets rid of any finger grease and doesn't leave streaks.
I use the cloth that came with the Nillkin case. Works way better than a microfiber one that came with my girls mini laptop.. :/

Not fair
He guys im new and i had a question about keeping my nexus 4 clean. So when i recieved my nexus 4 i had it naked without a screen protector or case, then i decided to buy a full body xtremeguard screen protector, which was 6 dollars. They arrived and i tried putting them on the next day. They were wet installation which i didnt really like. I had to use a bowl of handsoap and water. So I installed them and tried to accelerate the drying process a little by using a blow dryer, but guess what, it really made the beautiful screen look all ugly and disoriented so i took them off and decided to keep it the way. and applied a little more water to the glass to get all the soapy residue off and dried it off a little more. The next day I noticed that when i held it in sunlight I noticed this white stuff inside the crevices in between the glass and the edges of the phone. SO whats bothering me is that i think its dried soap in there and blow drying it only made it worse. But wheat really gets me ticked off is that i wanted to keep my phone perfect and clean but that stuff is still in there and i dont know how to get it out. Its just killing me. Ive tried water, q tips, even scraping it out with printer paper but no luck. Can anyone give me ideas or help plz?? thx. IM sorry if this a very long post
Should have left the XtremeGuard on there, it takes a few days for them to dry properly and until they do, they look like a disaster.
As for the left overs, maybe a fingernail will be able to scrape it out?

Fingernail is thicker than paper. If he can't get it out with paper....Try using a needle I guess?
Oh nope I already tried that when my nails were longer and now there even more useless ha. Its too deep in there. But I guess I'll keep searching though. Any type of liquid I could use to dissolve it or something?

Not related to the above posts as such but more the actual thread title, a pair of jeans works very well. Wiping the phone on my knees while wearing jeans gets rid of everything, and no smears either. Looks like new, much better than T-Shirts.
anyone have advice on how to clean the ear piece grill? putting my nexus 4 in my jeans and pockets add lint to the inside of the grill. it annoys me. any advice on how to get it super clean and all black again?

Compressed air, but be careful not to blow it to closely.
As far as cleaning the screen itself, I use monster LCD/plasma TV cleaner I got at best buy. Its a little pricy but I've had it for 3 years and works wonders on all my phones, even on screen protectors.
I do not have any advice as far as what to do what the residue in the screen your talking about.
I have a screen protector on the screen and have been thinking about removing it lately. I had a convo with my neighbor who never uses a protector on his phones. He never has gotten a huge scratch on gorilla glass, and to be honest I rarely ever change my protector and prob sacrifice more clear screen using one vs not...

Tech Putty and a microfiber cloth (any cheapo one will do).

Get yourself a small camera lens puffer (like a rocket). Great for getting dust and lint out of nooks and crannys, but not enough force to damage anything nor any chemical agents (like in canned air).
my ear piece and mic is a bit dirty, I don't think air will get it out. can you use alcohol or something similar??

Use a brush? Like a paintbrush or makeup brushes
Does anyone know how to clean the phone? By that I mean the small Gap between the screen and the frame. I get dust and small lint trapped inside the small Gap and it bugs me. Anywont know any solutions?
Rinse it in the sink? Or you could use some scotch tape maybe. I don't see any dust built up there on mine.

There was another forum where a guy had the same problem but he said there was a noticeable difference between his S8 and another one. I had this same problem with my s7 edge so I thought it was normal. But I have no other s8 to compare mine to

I had the same problem. Cannot figure it out how to clean up on small gap. Have tried using sticky tape or wash in the sink but no one works. Dust trapped on very tiny small gaps. Any idea? This is made me insane for perfectionist guy like me.
Same problem here. Any solution?
Don't laugh, I use a new makeup brush. The fine soft brissles are perfect for getting in there and gently lifting the lint out without damaging anything

Put some Methylated Spirit on a brush and try cleaning thats if washing ur phone under the tap is scaring you
Same problem here too

18 months later … but now I had this problem too. Fairly suddenly I could only hear a very faint voice on the telephone, only minimally understandable.
So I used a sharp needle to carefully lift the grit off the tiny grill slot at the top of the phone as well as I could. Then I applied a vacuum cleaner to suck out as much dust as possible.
It worked, but what I don't know is the risk of damaging the speaker underneath. Any information on what that looks like would be welcome. Has anybody taken the phone apart and looked?
I recommend the Blue Tac adhesive stuff. It's kinda sticky like bubblegum. Anyhow just smoosh that into the opening(s) & pull back out & repeat as needed. The stuff works beautifully!

I might also suggest some clay bar. Any modeling clay would do the trick. If you might be thinking about detailing your car in the near future you could a small piece of the clay to remove any dust/lint from the front speaker grill.
