So I don't know if it's me being crazy or what. Has anyone else noticed a weird blueish green diagonal line pattern across the screen/screen protector on this phone? T mobile version...I don't know if it's been there the whole time or maybe when I sprayed Windex on the phone, well a cloth, then wiped the phone if that had something to do with it or what..just need a second opinion on this to make sure the screen/digitizers not effed or not. It's so I'll prominent on or off the same. It's like a blur gradient..I'll try to take a photo with another phone..any thoughts and opinions would be great..
Don't spray Windex on phone/tv screens. I heard it's bad, like it eats layers away damaging the screen.

Yep i just noticed that today as well, i don't think its the screen protector, i think it may be the screen. Something to do with the implementation of the fingerprint reader through the screen possibly?

It's the protector, I pulled it off and now it's not there. Then just to be sure I laid it back on and the lines were back. I thought the same as u, about the fingerprint reader too at first..had to pull it off to verify.
Interesting, wonder why the protector has those on it.

I own my HD2 for 3 days now.
I have one simple question and I hope that more users experience this.
If I slide my finger to the right of the screen, to the end, I feel the side of the HD2. If I slide my finger to the left, the display goes over in the rest of the HD2.
At the bottom of the screen, it's the other way around. There I can feel a little edge on the left side.
Other users experience this?
did you drop it? by the looks of the pictures I've seen where they take apart a HD2, the screen is held in place by the rubber sides..
it's normal...99% of the hd2 was not been totally flushed with sides which is a rubber..
yes i have it too.
Well, in that case, mines' exceptionally well built. It's totally flushed with the glass. Sorry to put that out. I just love mines!

So it's normal that you feel the rubber on one side ? Whilst de other side is straight with the glass itself?

Same here. Maybe 1/2 to 1/4 of a mm below the rubber, but perfectly straight all the way round.

No, no tilted screen, its exactly the same all the way around, totally flush with the rubber.
Mine has this flaw, but it this so minor that I had never noticed it. I suggest get over it, it's not a big deal.

Mine chipped back in January. I had the phone for only 2 months. I got Sprint to replace my phone after scraping the chipped paint off and I didn't like it. My wife's phone did the same thing after 1 month. But, I will admit, it looks better with the paint scraped than chipped.

Yep, how did you manage to scrap your paint off?
It took a while, but I used my nails and a coin. I would pick at it throughout the day. I was careful not to scratch the face of the phone.

I've got a bunch of dust and chipping buttons but I haven't taken mine in because I'm rooted and running 2.0d with a custom theme (obviously NOT stock ). I'm just wondering if yours is and whether it was an issue or not.

Thank you! (Sorry to hijack the thread.. I'm sure the buttons look sweet!)
And now, back to your regularly scheduled 'physical mods!'
G'day all,
I just recently received my G2 and noticed that it gets very finger printy. I have the iloome screen protector and diztronic case but I want to be able to wipe the screen down every day or so just to keep it clean. What cleaning solutions or products do you guys use that won't take off the oleophobic coating on the screen protector or anything that is gentle but will degrease the phone? Mods please move if in the wrong section.
TIA!
I use the
Eyeglasses cleaner I got from my eye doctor and the soft cloth that came with it.
I used all that up lol. What about stuff that can be used to clean laptop monitors and other tablets/phone? The eye glass cleaner that we get only comes in tiny bottles and don't last long.

If you have a screen protector, then monitor cleaner will mess it up over time. You can get the glasses cleaner at a drug store. It's pretty cheap and you can buy it in bigger bottles then the sample you get from the eye doctor.

I didn't want white. White is associated with Apple...and I'm sure we all feel the same way about apple. I quite like the black finish on my phone. It's almost like a black chrome and looks very classy imo.

I use lotion a lot and there's always some kind of grease or file left on my phone. Plus my face is extra greasy which doesn't really help either.
Put it in the small container mixed with warm water and detergent. Soak it up for about 10'. Take it out, shake the water off, wipe clean with lint-free cloth.
Look good after all.

I got it now. Sorry I'm slow....
Cleaning minimal as possible. Too much cleaning on screen without screen protector just causes the screen to worn faster.
Also I don't suggest micro cloth unless you clean the cloth
Experience by using damn glasses over 10 yrs
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
this is the way to use a smartphone. don't care this too much, usually u can upgrade the phone each two years, why care it so much?
Am I supposed to take you guys seriously? I wouldn't use that stuff for just my phone. I have TVs, computers and other items I would use it on too, including my glasses (from having glasses for the last 20 yrs...). And if you read the thread, I do have a screen protector.
Just use a microfiber cloth...
If there is anything sticky that doesn't come off with the cloth, I just rub it with my finger until it comes off and then use the cloth to clean the fingerprints off. Oil from your skin does wonders.

Hey I just got my OnePlus 8 pro. It did not appear to have a screen protector installed on on it but there were two in the box and they're real flimsy and I put one on and there's lots of bubbles. Anybody have any idea how to make this better?

Don't waste your time with them. Wait until something better is out for it. I put one on just for fun and when I wireless charged it got warm enough the rounded edges peeled up.

There is a film on the front and back. You need to peel the front film off after you put it on. That will get rid of the green line and writing.

There's a protective film on the front side as well, you can peel it off and that gets rid of the writing and green line, for whatever reason they put protective film on both sides of them. Still they are garbage screen protectors and frustrating that there wasn't one pre-installed like all previous years.

I contemplated removing the factory screen protector for the last month as I hate how my fingers catch the edges, how the dust gathered along the edges as well as how it affects the fingerprint scanner. Well I removed it today and added the liquid screen protector (which with a little commen sense actually worked to protect my screen on my Note 10 Plus for almost a year from any scratches) and this phone is so much nicer. Your fingers glide across the screen and the finger print reader works so much better know then with the protector. The screen also just looks better...clearer, I'm not sure how to describe it but I sure love this phone even more now.
Liquid Glass, it's been around for years. Hydrophobic.
It's nanometers in thickness. Bonds on the molecular level.
It's also a real ***** to remove especially around the edges. Mineral spirits, lots of it and clean clothes. If you go to another system it may not need removal or it could cause adhesion failure.
I'm not very keen on it for this application for a variety of reasons.
Unfortunately the protection 1 coat provides is almost nonexistent. On cars you need minimum 3 coats, 5+ is better with Liquid Glass; it's formulated to be used like this.
5+ coats looks like a layer of clear coat, great for black cars.
The stuff you're using not so sure it can be "layered".
Don't count on this to save the screen from even sand; it's simply not thick enough. It will repel water and make cleaning easier, eventually it wears off of heavily used areas.
No added impact resistance.
Plastic urethane screen protectors don't feel as good but provide excellent scratch/marring protection and even some limited impact protection.

Where did you get your phone from because I really don't see a "factory" screen protector? I bought mine paid in full from Samsungs website but I really don't see a factory screen protector on it.
Mine was purchased directly from Samsung Canada and it had the factory screen on it...you can tell if you look at the front camera....you can see the circle around the camera.

I looked and quite closely too and I don't see anything around my camera hole.. At least nothing that resembles a screen protector cut-out.. I'm guessing some have them and some don't.
That is pretty strange, I cannot remember the last Samsung phone I have purchased that didn't have a factory installed screen protector.

Apparently this is the case; some do, some don't.
You can see a small bit of exposed screen all around the edge of the screen protector if it has one.
Lame of Samsung not to include this on some for at least temporarily protection.

That factory one is really pretty good.
Leave it on until it wears out. Have a one ready.
I found the wet apply ones are the easiest to put on perfectly. They last about 3-4 months maybe more, give good scratch protection and a little impact protection as well.
Yes I still have the factory one on it, thanks. I did purchase amfilm on Amazon for when factory one wears out. I was tempted to order the Whitestone dome but way too expensive.

So yours didn't come with one. We are talking about two different things.
On one hand you have a factory installed edge to edge screen protector with a cut out for the camera.
On the other hand you have a shipping film added to keep the screen from getting scuffed when shifting around in the box.
I usually remove mine when it starts to get messed up. Then it's like getting a new phone!

Don't remember if mine came with one or not. But definitely need one and a case as well because I HATE the accidental touches on my phone lol
Mine came from Samsung Canada with the preinstalled screen protector, but I was unhappy with the responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor, so I peeled it off. What a difference. The fingerprint sensor works instantly and the screen feels much smoother.
