I found one big brown particle behind the digitizer. I wonder if there is any safe way to remove it. Do I have to disassemble the whole tablet?
I'm sure its not dead pixel because the brown particle is visible even if I off my tablet. Pretty annoying because it's almost 1mm in terms of width and length.
I wonder any of you guys out there have removed the display before. Thanks!
Most companies will replace a device for dust under the LCD glass. This is considered a manufacturing defect.

Was wondering if there is a gap between the glass and AMOLED for dust to get under...or is it fused like the iPhone?
The display and the digitizer is glued together in the Samoled+ , no way to get dust under the screen, phone is sealed well.
FYI, I thought this would be a good reference for people who have scratched screens. Original thread here. Has anyone found a better way to mitigate scratches?

So my phone fell out of my pocket, screen directly landed on a rock on the ground. There was a nice scrape right in the dead center of the screen.
I found a product called 3M "Perfect-It III Trizact Machine Glaze", or otherwise known as "3M 06070". It is an aluminum silicate based polishing compound for removing swirlies from extremely high-gloss automotive finishes. The stuff is approximately $65 for a quart size from NAPA auto parts. For those who aren't aware, Gorilla Glass itself is an alkali-aluminosilicate, so this particular polishing compound is chemically compatible with the material the screen is made out of.
**Apparently Rezound is NOT Gorilla Glass (confirmed by Corning & HTC) but must have a very similar composition**
It works absolutely beautifully. I started by applying it with a polishing cloth and rubbing by hand, but I switched over to a polishing cloth Dremel tip in my cordless drill at low speed. Approximately 45 seconds worth of polishing the screen with the drill and scrape is hardly noticeable now. With a little more careful work, I believe it will be completely gone!
Unfortunately its expensive. $65/quart is really not that bad though, when you consider that most polishing compounds that are sold specifically for glass screen repair cost as much as $30 for 8 ounces, and in my experience are less effective than 3M 06070.
I hope this helps anybody with a damaged glass on the screen. Best bet is to just get a screen protector. Not having one is a potentially expensive mistake..
**NOTE**
While this does work on the Rezound, I would NOT attempt this on any other glass screen unless you can verify that it is real Gorilla Glass or some other aluminosilicate glass.
Alternately, if you prefer to simply replace the entire glass/digitizer portion of the phone, I have found one available online (for cheaper than this polishing compound too!) here at this site: http://www.gogotoshop.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=4896

will this damage the oleophobic coating on the display?

I've never tried this. But now I'm wondering the little scratch on my display is on the coating itself and not the glass...
Any way to repair the oleophobic coating?
Kills the oleophobic coating. i have a dull spot on my screen now...

If you applied it to the entire screen, would it even out the texture, even though it will "dull" out the entire screen? And how effective is it at removing scratches?
Like voluptuary said Lumia have that 3 layer anti-glare and anti-smudge coating on top of gorilla glass. Lumia's screen scratch resistance is really very poor because of this. In general it is very resistant, but sightless press with sharp edge will leave a noticeable mark.
As far as I know there are no cheap solutions. If scratch is really huge and annoying consider replacing the whole screen.
I managed to scratch my Nokia in 1st day of use by simply putting in pocket with keys. Never happened to my other phones (HTC Hero and Polaris).
I tried jewelers polish powder, aka cerium oxide. It worked pretty well for very light scratches, but deep ones are still visible. I used electrical drill and polish for about 1hr at 1000rpm speed. Just watch to not to overheat screen or it will break.
As a finishing polish I used Displex. All it does is applies protecting coating and removes all left over marks from cerium oxide. It's poor mans choice, don't expect miracles.
Also any kind screen polishing will reduce effectiveness or even damage that anti-smudge effect. So be warned.
Hi ist this actually the best glass polish?
Is this 3M "Perfect-It III Trizact "50077" or "06070" from 3M?
But there is also "3M Glass Polishing Compound" with the type number "60150".
Hello,
I guess I am not the only one who noticed this very odd effect that appears on the screen of the P
Here's a video showing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLcnhlw-wJ0
As far as I know, this is called the Moire effect and it is caused by the lots of thin diagonal lines that are present on the security foil above the display's glass(the foil it came with). These lines + the weird light gradients that they cause really make the image look bad for me, on an otherwise great display. I have understood that if you remove the security foil, these two problems would go away, however, I have a question:
I know that the glass on the P is shatterproof, but is it also scratch-resistant? Or is the security foil the only thing that's protecting it from getting a lot of scratches? In other words, is the foil the only one made out of scratch-resistant material, or is the glass scratch resistant aswell?
Thanks

Xp has mineral glass which makes it scratch resistant so u can go ahead n remove d foil aka screen protector however do keep in mind dat its mineral glass n not gorilla glass so rough use won't do.
Unless unavoidable pls try not removing d protector.

I know this has been discussed before but I would like clarification on what I need to replace on my TF201. I am attaching pictures. I actually sat on my tablet and it damaged the LCD. The glass is fine but the display is not. Can someone tell me what I can do? Do I need to replace the whole screen? It powers on okay. Thank you!

If the digitizer glass on the front is okay, you'll need to replace the LCD panel. The digitizer glass and the LCD are separate pieces. When you open your Prime, you'll see that the entire "display assembly" is a sort of sandwich. The digitizer glass is attached with dobule-sided tape to a thin piece of black plastic. The LCD is attached to the other side of the plastic with thin double-sided foam tape. Additionally, there are small brackets that hold the LCD to the plastic.
You're going to need to separate the LCD from the plastic with an exacto then clean away the remaining sticky foam crap. Order a replacement LCD, then reinstall.
Me, I reinstalled mine without using any sticky foam tape. I rely on the brackets. I'm glad I did it that way because I noticed a speck of dust after I re-assembled. It drove me nuts. If I'd used tape, I'd have never been able to get the piece of dust out.
A few notes: the LCD is VERY delicate and VERY fragile. Yours is already broken, so there's no real risk with the old one. The digitizer, comparatively, isn't quite as delicate. Still, BE CAREFUL when removing the LCD from the bracket. You DO run the risk of breaking your digitzer glass.
Also, leave the protective cover on the replacement LCD until the last possible moment of re-assembly. Use rubber gloves. You'll be unhappy if you leave a fingerprint on the replacement. Cleaning off fingerprints with alcohol or Windex risks breaking the new LCD. Did I mention that it's delicate?
Good luck
What the hell is going on here?
I am unable to feel it on the surface of the screen so I assume it's on the inside, from an angle it kinda looks like mercury with a slight metallic look to it.
No screen protector on, the phone has not been dropped.
Looking for some answers on what it could be and if it's fixable.
Thanks!

SORRY DIDN'T KNOW I POSTED IN HARDWARE HACKING, COULD A MOD PLEASE MOVE THE THREAD TO THE CORRECT SECTION?
hello,
amoled display assemblies, like the one you have in your phone, are made by fusing together the amoled screen itself and a protective gorilla glass panel. They use a special UV reactant glue to secure the bond in such a way that when looked from above the glass cover remains transparent and the glue layer is practically invisible.
What happened in your photo is ..well, kind of unfortunate. For some reasons, the glue between the glass and amoled panels got damaged/unglued. It doesn't feel to the hand since it's actually underneath that surface of the gorilla glass panel. Unfortunately, i don't know any user DIY way to solve this problem. For what i did encounter with amoled screens, this type of damage mostly occures when exposing the display to high temperatures. This - coupled with some manufacture defects in the targeted area, results in this kind of problems.
Normally in order to solve this problem, the phone would need to be sent for repairs and it would either be exposed to UV light to try to reglue the panels or have the gorilla glass removed, replaced and the glue reapplied.
Please take note that some repair centers don't have this type of UV equipment and may suggest a display module replacement altogether. That's very expensive, about the price of a second hand phone.
