sorry to hear about your scratch! someone once told me to put toothpaste on the scratch and wait for it to dry.. then lightly buff it off with a dry cloth and it should be less noticable.. doesnt sound like a permanent fix but it's worth a shot since toothpaste is easily accessible..
On a white screen its very noticeable on a black screen if I tilt the phone you can see the pixels and reflection of the scratch I'll try the tooth paste I'm hoping it works

There was a great thread where someone spent a LOT of effort in sanding the phones screen down to where it was smooth again.
I think that is extreme, but it worked for him. I'm certain you can find that thread...

If you have not already done this - DON'T
Toothpaste is far too abrasive for both the screen and the coating that is on it. look around for plastic polish and get the finest grit you can find, final polish only. Try automotive parts store, hobby and craft stores, or online. When polishing use the compound very sparingly, use only as much pressure as needed, and work in a small circular motion with a dampened polish cloth and compound. It will take a long time and a lot of polishing, but you should be able to get it out without damaging the coating or the screen. It is very easy to get impatient and permanently scar your screen so take you time.

LOL, he probably used toothpaste and had no choice.

Here is a great read for this process:

big kudos to the author.
His post states that tech support verified that there is no coating. I found another thread where a person trying to fix a scratch polished off a section of coating. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that the thread where he thought he polished off the coating he had just rubbed it so smooth the reflectivity was different.
Very interesting I will not be going through the tooth paste method but I will try the polish and buffing

I haven't tried it on my phone screen, but for scratches on both glass and plastics I have used children's training toothpaste that has little to no abrasives.
Well I be able to see the pixels across the screen where the scratch is With any of these methods? Cause It causes a sort of bubble effect when looking at the screen from different angles

I've got a scratch on my screen
I've read the Zagg will cover it. But I've found some other screen protectors that seem good too...anybody actually experience the Zagg fill in the scratch and hide it well like it claims?

I've found that overall the wet application screen protectors seem to work much better for the purpose of hiding imperfections than the dry application protectors. I personally use Zagg and install a lot of them for friends and family. They tend to make the scratches or swirl marks either not show at all or barely noticeable. I think part of it has to do with the light not reflecting off of the scratch like when it's exposed. I've only done the regular invisishield and clear screen protectors, never tried a matte finish anti glare screen protector and looked once it was dry to check for blemishes or imperfections that were visible before applying the screen protector.
*edit*
nevermind i'm retarded, and i read the OP wrong.
Check out Best Skins Ever.
i used to use zagg's but didn't care for the feel. ended up having to replace one twice when i had the thunderbolt. the other issue is depending on what case you use, it will cause the protector to peel up a bit on the edges.
i found the ghost armor screen protectors have a better feel & don't peel up as easily.
I use Skinobi.
Zero problems, zero complaints, and all of the minor scratches from my daughter are "gone" so to speak.

I can recommend xoskins. http://xoskins.com/htc-rezound-screen-protector
Fills small scratches, and not the same 'orange peel' effect as Zagg. It's also less tacky than other wet app protectors I've used. One key when installing is not to scrape to hard with the squeegee. This results in a smoother finish.
realook. feels like glass, and covers the entire glass surface, edge to edge. if you put it on properly without dust you can't tell it's there. everyone is shocked when i tell them there's a screen protector on there.

While I agree with your assessment of the Realook protector, I'm not sure that it would be a preferred application for an already scratched screen seeing as it's hard coated and "dry" application.
The screen-side of the Realook protector does have a somewhat softer adhesive, so it may work to help hide minor surface scratches.
Anyone with experience using these types of hard coated protectors over previously scratched/damaged glass?
Brian
I scratched my screen the day I got it, guess I wasn't safe enough and coming from two phones that had gorilla glass I never thought about it. Anyways I have a Realook Screen protector and I love it. Can't tell its there, feel's like glass, and resist scratches etc great. About your question though, I can still see my scratch clear as day It might be a little less noticeable but as soon as light hits the screen it shows its ugly face.
there's got to be a way to buff little scratches out before putting on a protector.

This one is not so little. I'm going to blame it on the cat.
But yeah I've said the same thing, There's got to be a way to minimize it at least.
The smartest idea I've read is to use something called "jewelers rouge" to buff it out. I'm still contemplating it.
And then if it doesn't work I'm going to smash the phone so I can get a new one cuz I have insurance. lol
I'm sooo damn careful with my phones it's sad and then this happens. Grrr.
Everybody has all these wonderful ideas but nobody ever shows pictures of how it turned out. lol

Are you familiar a little with buffing agents and polishes and things on metal and glass or jewelry? I was just wondering if you've used some before.
I'm thinking that with the right equipment it could work, I'm going to do some research and see what I find out, but at best it would be a gamble however we could use some old phones to practice and experiment on.
Now that I'm over the rush from shorting the main board I'm losing the one percenter BAMF feeling since so many people are doing it, so taking a "cutting and abrasive" solution to a crystral clear smooth glass sounds like fun

I like your thinking. Let me know what you find out. I don't have any junk phones to be practicing on. I do have a Dremel, and was wondering if using the polishing buff wheel with something would work. I did find one good tutorial...but he did the WHOLE phone. And it was really scratched. Mines just a 1/2 inch scratch but it's right on the top right corner where I always look at the time.
BRAND NEW PHONE. NONE of my other phones or tablets have ever been scratched. SOOO irritating.

I have read that and actually was going to see if a friend of mine who does car body work had some of this laying around. However I see the comments on the dulling of the oleophobic coating? I think having a dull phone would be worse than having the scratch. But the original OP didn't mention that issue at all. Any thoughts?
I found this old thread about Rain-X on the screen to make the screen finger print resistant. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid/14456-quick-cheap-anti-fingerprint-trick-2.html
Quite curious who else uses this trick. Currently using Steinheil SGP UC on my screen (finger print city) and a cruzerlite tpu case.
Does anyone know if it would ruin the properties of the screen protector and/or the plastic back door?
Just thought I'd share this in the case we feel like going naked
i would also like to know this. i read somewhere that if you put silicone spray on your screen if should have that same effect but i never wanted to try it because well... i don't want to ruin my $700 phone haha
Oh, I hear ya. That's why I wanted to see if any brave souls have tested the waters
i actually just remembered that i still have my og evo laying around so i felt adventurous and sprayed a towel with some rain-x and rubbed it on there a few times and it seems to have done the trick! my finger prints aren't showing up and when they do they are much less visible and the screen feels much smoother. but i heard this wears off after a while but i also found out that car wax's with carnauba wax in it works wonders and doesn't come off as easily. so if you got some rain-x or a car wax that is made from carnauba wax i say go for it! haha
edit: also the finger prints wipe off easier
edit edit: update on the rain-x - ok so, so far its working pretty well but i noticed i gets a little smoother after a while. so after you rub it in and then dry it off its not gonna be all that smooth and actually seem a bit worse but if you keep using it and just keep rubbing your thumb across it for a while and kinda work it in, it seems to get better.
Cool great tip man! I woulda tried on my old phone but I gave it to a family member. Do you know if the Carnauba wax is safe on the plastic back door? I kind of assumed so since it's painted but I don't have any wax to try it.
i assume it probably couldn't hurt to put it on there so if you wanna try go for it. my neighbor is always cleaning his car and such so im gonna pop over there eventually and see if he has any wax to try on my old evo
Sweet deal, think I may pick up some carnauba wax from the store if I have time tomorrow. I'm sure I have some extra glossy plastic to try it on.
Didn't get to reply to this, but I just used some mothers carnauba wax on the steinheill ultra crystal and on the back door of my EVO.
Little to no fingerprints what so ever! No scratches or warping on any of the material, no residue or stickiness. My evo is still smooth as glass and plastic!
Just apply a tiny amount on you index finger and smudge the wax around carefully not to get it in the speaker then buff it in with a microfiber cloth and voila! Instant fingerprint resistance!

I have been using Rain-X ever since I saw it as a tip on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums, works great and it won't last a week but makes it really easy to clean and does minimize the fingerprints better then anything else I have tried.

I'm not too sure yet. I'll make a post to see how long itasted for me.
I put it on the other day I would assume just like a car it'll last a good couple weeks. Unless, I was too impatient to use my screen right after applying it, it doesn't seem it protects against face oils. But as for texting and touching the screen its pretty repellent. Meaning the only time I really need to wipe my phone is after my face touches it.
The backdoor seems to do a better job but maybe because I don't touch it as often.
Update: its been about a week and its still keeping the resistive properties. Pretty nicely if I might add. I do advise again not to use too much wax and to keep it away from any crevice on the phone (speaker, microphone, etc) it could ruin your device so keep it to the glass and the painted plastic door.

So about 3 weeks and going strong. The one thing is that you may build of dried wax residue on the perimeter of the screen but really simple clean, just lightly brush it off. :thumbup:

Hi guys !!
In a couple of days I get the protective film, but my fear is dust, how can I avoid absolutely the dust?
Take the phone out of a case (if you have one).
Go into ur bathroom.
Close all windows. Door. Don't run the vent fan if you have one.
Turn the shower or bath on hot and let the room get very steamy.
Clean screen with a microfiber cloth. If you want to be very anal about it. Remove ur shirt. Wet ur hair. Also if it's long tie it back. (this helps eliminate dust or dry skin from falling on the screen while you bend over it. )
The steamy air from the hot water will eliminate any dust floating in the air.
Next step after the screen is clean is to look from all angles to spot any specs. Also clear scotch tape can be used to pick dust off.
Then just apply the protector.
This is how I've always done it on all my phones. Sounds extreme but it all makes sense. I usually combine this is with a shower... Lol

This just came to me. Another method might be mounting the hose end of a vaccum over the area and keep it running during the cleaning and applying. This is what some people do while cleaning the sensor on DSLR cameras.

What he said about getting the bathroom steamy is exactly correct!! I've been using that method for a couple of years now and my installs turn it flawless! I also recommend using the hinge method as well, just to assure that you get it on 100% perfectly (I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my electronics and cars! lol). If you're unsure of the hinge method, you should be able to find some videos on YouTube. Basically you just align the screen protector (without removing the back), then apply some tape to one side. Then the tape will act as the "hinge", and the screen protector will act as the door. I recently started using this method along with the steamy shower. These two methods combined allow for a fool-proof perfect install! As long as the screen protector you're applying is nice and you do the install correctly, people won't even know that you have installed unless they're just really looking for one! Good luck with it all, I hope it all goes well. If you have any questions before or during, please feel free to ask

I use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the screen, Never have any problems when I do that, I've done it with multiple devices and never had any dust sticking under the screen. Only thing is you basically have to keep pushing the stuff out from underneath it for about 10mins.
I'm sure someones going to say I'm damaging the screen now but I've done it with about 4 phones and 2 tablets with no problems whatsoever

NEVER, EVER use any type of Alcohol! It removes/destroys the oleophobic coating on the glass. That's what keeps the fingerprints from appearing and once it starts breaking down, it looks not like a scratched screen but more like a scuffed area. You can buff the area a little and it goes away but you fingers make that scuffed area return.
Sitting naked in steamy bathroom applying screen protector. Sounds like a weekend plan for me.
I haven't seen this posted already so I figured I would share. Anyways my brother just got a S4 for $120 but it came with cracked front glass. I told him I would fix the glass for him (my first time touching a S4 let alone replacing the front glass). Well I meant to take more pictures, but in the moment I just wanted to get the phone done. I followed a guide on iFixit and watched a couple videos on Youtube, alot of people are right when they say that the Youtube videos make it look simple. Anyways this was my first time working with LOCA glue (removing and replacing).
Here are some helpful tips:
#1 Make a jig that will hold your heat gun above your workspace, you will need to adjust the height depending on how well your heat gun works.
#2 Put some clear packaging tape on the front of the glass to avoid glass chipping and flying, also to keep glass from entering under the glass and scratching the digitizer..
#3 The glass is easiest removed with a temperature between 155f and 165f.
#4 Work top to bottom. Ear piece to button.
#5 When prying the glass off MAKE SURE you are between the glass and the digitizer, it is easy to lift the whole LCD assembly.
#6 Work slowly, if the glass if badly broken it will not pull up as easily as a less shattered glass. I found that the digitizer was not as fragile as I was made to believe.
#7 Have plastic razor blades or a plastic putty knife/scraper handy for the removal and cleanup of the LOCA glue.
#8 Have 2 lint free cloths handy for the cleanup and removal of the LOCA glue.
#9 When the glass is almost off remember to pry off the back and home button sensors from the bottom of the glass.
#10 When it is time to clean up the digitizer use your putty knife/scraper to get most of it up.
#11 I found that Eucalyptus oil works well at removing the rest of the LOCA glue. Just put some on a Q-tip and swab the area you want to clean.
Here is a pic of what the digitizer looked like after cleaning with Eucalyptus oil.
EDIT: Sorry pic wouldn't link, had to make it an attachment.
I'm not gonna lie, while putting the new glass on I could not get all the air out, I did not get pics of the finished screen, but it only has a couple small bubbles. Well worth the $10 for the new glass.

Hey guys,
My first digitizer replacement ended up in a few big flower shaped flecks on the screen. That is not what I expected. I am very curious to know how these flecks appeared, or how I could avoid this will happen again. Also it looked to me like the original brightness could not be achieved.
This is the phone (Jiayu G2s) with the Calendar active which is almost an entire white display.
anybody who recognizes this?
oh, and by the way everything functions normal.

Looks like you overheated the actual screen. If you apply too much heat you will lose colors/brightness in those areas.
Heat not the only cause......

The "flowers" that you see can be caused by too much heat. BUT, these appear to be the result of excessive pressure placed on the display. If you press hard enough on almost any lcd or led display you'll see these kinds of patterns. If you let off they go away, unless you've pressed to hard or too long. AMOLED are particularly sensitive when heated. Long and short, be careful how much pressure you use when removing the glass etc....
I replaced an s3 screen twice. It was obviously easier the second time, as there was no LOCA to fight with. The main reason for diminished clarity and sharpness after replacement is the absence of the LOCA. Once u manage to get the glass off and do the necessary cleaning/preparation for reassembly, applying 3-4cc's of LOCA onto the digitizer in a vertically stretched "X" pattern will give u that genuine factory screen appearance. Well...After u cure it under UV light. But...for a novice, applying the LOCA and making it look good without permanently damaging the device is extremely tricky. And shouldn't b attempted if you're not somewhat of a professional, as the glue can seep down into your phone's internal hardware.

hi. thanks for the tip... i have 1 question at the moment, and it might sound silly... but what kind of eucalyptus oil did you use and where from? i did a search on it and there were all sorts of brands and use, and seems forms of it...
i like lighter fluid personally but its to runny but is perfect it you can keep it from behind the lcd and messing up the sheets on the likes of a LG G3.
The eucalyptus oil I used was an essential oil from my local co-op/natural foods store.
Go to lcdbondingusa dot com. They have this cleaner for cleaning LOCA. Man let me tell you, it's well worth the cost. I use a diabetic syringe to get it between the LCD and Digi. Sure does make easy work of it. It's great for other stuff, too.

Hi,
Unfortunately ceramic version also get scratches. After over year of using I've got some really ugly, big scratches on ceramic back.
I wonder if it is possible to polish back surface? Does anyone tried?
I have some experience with polishing car parts, but it's totally different item.
How do you think? Is is possible to polish ceramic? Or maybe I will get only worse...
Hello . Tbh I'm not sure what I would do. As it is a phone. How ever! It is possible to get scratches out of ceramic.
Take the back of (if you can)
mark with chalk all the scratches easy to wipe off.
get a bowl or something filled with nice hot water not to hot though you got a stick you hand in. Make it warm. Shuv some dishwasher liquid in. Good quality. Like fairy liquid or something.
CLEAN THEM SCRATCHES!
then wipe up the scratches and dry up with a clean cloth. One that doesn't leave bobbles or rubbish.
Put a small bit of brass polisher on a clean, soft cloth. Apparently tooth paste or vinagre works, but not tried it. Rub the product into the scratches and all the edges, like your wax a car. Circle Circle circles keep doing it. Eventually the scratches should no longer be visible.
you can stop there although when I did my bathroom tiles I used some car wax just to protect the areas.
I hope this helps. . Don't run at me with knives and lemons if it ruins your phone please xD this works on real ceramic....
Hope I assisted .
Mine with more or less one year old have no scratches in ceramic, only on the aluminium(?) edge and some light scratches in front glass. I have used it almost all time withou a case. !!!!
