Dust Under the Screen - HTC Amaze 4G

Has anyone got dust under their Amaze yet?
I have dust under mine and I'm wondering if there was any way (easy or not) to get it out. I emailed Wind and checked if maybe they could do something about it since I'm still under warranty, but if my warranty is one use only then I'll save it for when it's actually something more important.

Yeah, I had it on the first one I had, couple days ago. I got mine exchanged for other reasons but this one did not come with dusts under the screen new. But it did come with this strong women perfume scent, because they replaced mine with open boxed one. I hope this goes away soon, because.my palms always smells like a girl now...

try alcohol wipes, and wipe everywhere, back cover etc. Most of the smell will be gone.
Unless of course you're starting to like it

hahaha, I actually DID wipe it down, but I think the perfume seeped through the case in the volume rockers, because that is where it is not going away! Hah

Very tough job, you have to pull it apart. the glass is glued to the case/bezel around it

Then you can have people think you have one because of the scent. And when you get home you put on the forever alone face XD

In case you didn't know, I meant dust...
I've taken my Droid Incredible apart, to replace both speakers.
Why would the bezel be in the way of the back of the screen?
I have to take the bezel off to get to the front of the camera?
I think I'll learn to ignore the dust, maybe in a year I'll see, but this is too new to me...

Sorry to revive a very old thread but I have the same problem and haven't found anything clear about it. Did anyone else have dust on their front camera?
Thanks!

The only way to fix that issue is to disassemble the phone and replace the front camera. Then make sure you tighten it enough so that dust can't get in. Hit thanks if that helps.

i dropped it

I dropped it and the side dented what should i do?? im so sad right now
Out of curiosity what kind of case do you have, and where exactly is it bent?
Wipe off your hands when you get done spanking it. It will help you keep a grip on the phone.
Ouch man....as far as what you should do..I vote you go stand in the corner for a few hours because you dont appreciate nice things jk lol. Sucks though.....

Isn't much you can do except contact CS and say the sprint store dropped it and put a dent in it. Then say you didn't notice it till now, see what they say.

Trying to get a perfectly innocent employee in trouble for his mistake? Besides I'm still waiting to hear what case it was in.
I'll put money on no case at all.
Sorry to hear about your phone man, I can only imagine what you feel like right now.
Buy the insurance or live with the consequences.

Go to Best Buy, get an Otterbox Defender case and, never take it off. That way you won't have to see that eyesore of a dent everyday.

Get a TPU case
when siedio makes that rugged case like i used for the evo 4G, you can drop the phone from about 2 stories with no worries

I say let your EVO rock it out as a battle scar! It will make other phones piss themselves, such as the iPhone! Haha

Just get it swapped out for another one. Guess it depends on where you purchased it, but I would go in..maybe towards the end of the day, or at a busy period, try to find the most chill looking employee who won't put your phone through a 160 point inspection, smile and hope they do not notice.
If that fails, and if it bothers you that much, add on the insurance.

Back Cover

Aghhh!!! Is anyone else having a hard time putting their back cover on perfectly? I've pressed down so hard on the area (mhl and above) and still won't budge! Any tips?

I have the opposite problem, I have a hard time getting the back cover off with fear of breaking it.

Same here. why couldnt they have the ones that slide off like the phones before. so much easier to take off.

I asked this same question few days ago also and the best tip I got was to start on the opposite side of the camera and peel it off..I now have replacement batteries to change every day and found out if you do it the way then just peel it open like a book ...you don't have to do it hard...it gets used to openning and comes right off. I really don't mind if the back falls off becuase I always have a case on it...hard it silicone and it hoods it in place. I still do this very carefully. I realize tho many will not like this...but I gotta work with what I have...don't like it....but till replacement backs come on the market...it will do.
Its like the area above the mhl has a gap no matter how hard I press it won't go down.

*edit
Never mind. HTC being the kick-ass company they are is sending me a new back cover free of charge!
Mine also has a small gap just beside the headphone jack. It just doesn't line up very well right there.

Poor housing?

Anyone coming from the Original EVO, knows that in the Charge and HDMI port it contains red scratches...
Well the EVO 3D front housing has like gray scraches, I remember one time, they were some complains about the camera lens if you put it together in your pocket with your keys, well, the lenses pass the test but the front housing for me dint, I often put my keys and my phone in the same pocket and now I have some gray scraches, LOL

I'm reminded of something my dad used to always say:
A guy goes to the doctor and says, "It hurts when I do this" and the doctor replied, "Stop doing that."
Only thing going in my pocket when my phone is in there is my hand. It's pretty silly to think sharp metal objects won't scratch up a plastic device when they are moving around and rubbing each other.

Think I'm going to pick up one of these cases. The grey maybe pink...eh.
I don't know yet. Pink DOES look cool.
But for 17.99 plus a screen protector, microfiber cloth AND free shipping I don't think it's a bad deal at all.

Did you use the discount code? I think it's valid until Sunday.
Just received mine.
It looks great.
Feels okay. The outer shell feels soft, yet hard
Buttons are easy to press
But the sturdiness is in question, only time will tell

Discount code was only good for Thanksgiving Day.
If it was still good, the case would only be $14.62.
I still don't get where it was $17.99.
Any chance it came with holes for noise cancellation

Keep your n10 away from ants

I woke up this morning and there is a damn ant walking under my screen, it better doesn't die in a visible place, I'll try using sugar to lure it out, but anyways keep your device away from these damn ****s.
Edit: OK guys for now I think that I managed to crush it under one of the corners by applying pressure as soon as it left the screen, but you wouldn't want to wake up to a dead ant in the middle of your screen.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I just moved my n10 away from my ant farm.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
How is this possible? I'm pretty sure that the screen area needs to be airtight to prevent buildup of dust. Does your screen have dust under it?
If an ant got in then that must mean that it is not airtight.
Hahaha xda ftw

God ****ing damn it, the damn ant was hiding and I come back to find it dead in the middle of my screen.
And no, there isn't any dust under the screen, I don't know how this POS got in there.
Spoon pics!!!! I wanna see a pic!!!!
Don't laugh, in December I thought "damn that's bad, I don't think that will happen to me" when I saw a similar thread and now look at this...
And if Samsung doesn't want to cover it I can use my back flex as an excuse to force them to do so... Right?
How do I contact Google?
If you ordered from the Play Store you can start there..855-836-3987.
Good luck, I hope this gets resolved... I'm thinking about carrying a stick of Grant Kills Ants in my N10 bag...

How else? Do they have an email for these things? I'm not in the US so calling is troublesome.
Here's section to email Google Play Support. I'd imagine you would choose the last option, general technical support question.

It's pretty sad that the gorilla glass isn't optically bonded like many other devices (MS Surface etc.), it's just a glass that's approx 1mm above the LCD screen (just air), if you press the glass you will see the glass touching the LCD

Lmao
This thread is hilarious but I would like to just say that I had one of these in my LCD monitor and squashed it in the middle of the screen much to my dismay. Anyway I don't think they're ants but maybe Thrips. And it seems to be a common problem; see http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bugs+in+lcd+screen.
It's an ant, I've seen them (the same kind) wandering around my house or when I leave something with sugar in a random place.
Your Nexus has a screen "bug" . lol
