So, I'm using my vibrant all the time, but like a malignant growth there is an impressive smudge growing on the keyboard area if the screen.
Does anyone know the best method for cleaning it off? I don't want to just use windex without knowing if it will ruin the "anti smudge"surface...
And yes, I have tried wiping it off on my shirt

Soap.
Or any lens cleaner if you're worried.
Cool! I'll give that a shot. So, do I need to worry about rubbing the anti smudge surface off?

lick it then wipe it off with your shirt.. the acid on human saliva works very good..

saliva should be basic, not acidic
if your saliva is acidic you would have a lot of decay
Rub it on your nipple.

My screen feels a little sticky and cleaning it with a microfiber cloth isn't helping. Is there some type of solution I can use or buy?
Use a moist napkin or paper towel wipe your screen. Dry it then use a microfiber to clean. Then stop picking your nose before you touch your phone

Rub a little baby powder on your hands it will help keep your screen from getting greasy it will also make it feel super slick.

There are also many LCD screen cleaners for TV's and such. They work great for the phone. Just don't spray it into the speaker and you are good. I then wipe it with a microfiber. Works great!

Can you recommend a particular one?
I have this solution that came with my glasses plus a wiping cloth. Any type of fluid for wiping down any particular screen (glass) would work wonders.
Like the above said, watch out to not to get the solution inside any holes and focus on the glass.
i just use a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.. Not sure how good it is for the GG but hey it works well..
I use eye glasses cleaner works great the also have disposable ones kinda like wet wipes

Ok so I remember when I first got my 3d I loved the fact that the screen was basically smudge proof. The glass felt like ice and didn't really show fingerprints. Since then, my screen is often a smudgy mess and even wiping it on my shirt or whatever doesn't help much. Does anyone know of a way to like revitalize the slickness that it used to have? I remember something about people using rain-x to do this I think but I don't really remember any details... Any advice would be awesome.

Well the windex will clean it obviously, but I can't imagine it'd leave it with a coating of any sort that repels fingerprints.

I clean mine with one of those little alcohol wipes now and then. Smudge free and looks good for a while. I think all the oils etc off your fingers build up a layer on there after a while.

Alcohol does leave a nice feeling behind clean and sterile should keep prints off to for awhile...
I just put a zagg on mine awhile back cause I am always outside doing something work wise... Didn't wanna mess the glass up finger prints drove me bonkers..
Buy an ASUS transformer prime. Throw the tablet away and use the cloth that comes with it. Works like a charm for anything and everything. Geez, though, the people around were making a fuss about how I threw some metal block away. Its only five hundred dollars, geez come on...

Comment of the day lol
I am a greasy bastard myself and have the same problem. The smudge problem has caused me to be an avid hand washer due to this. Like others have said though. The Zagg screen protector does a fantastic job of keeping smudge stains down
I use oakley lens cleaner works wonders
its hard living in a blood red world
I use one of those micro-fiber cloths (with no cleaning fluid) on mine. Works like a charm.
I change oil for a living so this problem is an everyday thing for me, if you don't have any type of screen protector on it... There r a ton of lil tricks, the results are widely spread out,
I've heard of using "powder foundation" (make-up) to lightly "dust" it and wipe it clean and it should help out( sorta worked for me, but was a lot of work for a lil bit of a fix....
The alcohol wipes seem to work the best for me tho...

I use my shirt and sometimes my pants... Works well
I'm not sure what it is, or if it's like a protectant layer that's wearing off.
But it's only in the lower half of the screen towards the middle.
It covers almost the whole bottom half, it looks like something splattered on it. But I can get it off with anything, I tried water, eyeglass cleaner, and Window cleaner.
It's really annoying I can feel the difference when I try to slide my finger across.
It's all fine when I clean it, it looks perfectly fine. But when I slide my thumb across is shows up.

But no, it's like there's a protective coating onto of the screen and it's like wearing in on area.
It just won't clean off.

It is actually the oil repellent(or something like that) coating, unfortunately, it is irreversible unless you get it painted again I guess, or replace the screen. your best bet is put on a screen protector.
This happened to BOTH of my previous android phones, Acer Liquid (happened really quickly because the screen is not very sensitive), Atrix (device too fast, so I browse the web on it too much so it has worn off too)
Moved on to HTC Amaze, I guess it is just the same, I better put a screen protector on first...
One question though, did you ever use screen protector? Both of my previous devices did, I wonder if they take a thin layer off when you peel them off....
Well I bought my phone used so I'm not sure.
The alcohol didn't work, so I'm pretty sure it's the coating...
Time to get a screen protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well I can't really tell...
It almost acts like it's coming off, I can't really feel it anymore and I can only see it when I purposefully get my screen dirty. But it looks like something was smeared on it and half of it came off and it's in a hole bunch of little dots and globs.
Is this what yours looked like morris?

not sure but you might try DRM'ing the phone through tmobile just not sure what their policy is on doing it to a phone you got from someone else . . would think you still could though

Haha, but really I'm thinking that my battery was getting really hot or something and it melted it or something. Or some type of chemical reaction between it and all of the oils I have on my hands while I'm at work. I work at a machine shop, and there's always different types of coolant and oil
