seems like something oily or greasy then if water is going around it. try something not harsh like rubbing alcohol or something. u should have a screen protector on that thing anyway
if its under the screen good luck with that

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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

Mine is above the speaker and the other is along the right side. Samsung told me its not a known issue. Then they tried troubleshooting it and telling me to remove the battery to see if that fixes it. Lol.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

No, he has a point. If the OP had responded in the thread that was already started, it would be brought to the top of the list, and it would have the same traffic, without creating a useless thread and cluttering up our forums. Especially when he knew there was another thread.

Just saw the same crack on mine. Sucks.
are you guys sitting down with the phone in your pocket? If it is a little tight, maybe the frame is flexing a bit. I've started taking my phone out of my pocket when I sit down.

Mine is hardly ever in my pocket. I usually carry it around in my hand. Im too cautious with my phone. Never even been tossed....not even on a bed or couch. Always sit it down gentle

So I generally don't start threads because I usually don't get stuck. BUUUUT
I ended up either cracking the red back plate when removing it, or when screwing it down, not sure which, and it doesn't sit right. I get wonky signal issues sometimes because the back covers don't sit right on it.
Anyone have any idea where I might be able to order that back plate? I can't imagine it cost very much, but having complete signal failure because your back cover creaked is retarded.
I spent some time on google and could find every replacement part in the damn phone minus that red back cover.
Thanks!

So because I'm stupid and hate cases on my phones, the border around my LCD screen has become worn quite a bit from my occasional phone drops. I've looked around for a replacement, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Is it possible to replace this part, and if so, is there a place I can get one?
Ebay. Just buy a bricked one or something that's wrong besides the part u need and use that. Although there may be easier solutions I dunno never really looked into it

Someone else tried this and found out it's impossible. The plastic is glued on and not easily removed without damaging it more.
Search around the q&a forum for the original. It is disappointing.
I'm in the same boat, phone looks brand new except for the gunmetal gray border.

Yep, I read the thread and OP broke his glass. There are two posts in that thread by others saying that they've successfully changed the housing/bezel using heat.
Sent from my SGH-I777
I ordered a replacement screen for mine from here. I wish I would have ordered the bezel at the same time, it would have made it a new phone. I still might order it and hope I don't crack the glass. Use plenty of heat (hair dryer) and pull up the glass slowly, you should be OK.

My s3 screen is the perfect size for me feals like a mini tablet only problem is im worried it will break.
Now should i get an otterbox or anouther case to protect it?
I've been rocking with the cruzerlight TPU case for a while now and it does wonders. Doesn't make it too thick, adds grip, and is very protective, check it out

Dont worry man.
Its gorilla glass... wont break so easily.
I already dropped mine a hundred times. It hasnt got even a scratch.
Still, if you want to protect it that much, use a screen protector and put a case around your phone that covers your phone a little from front. This way, even if your phone falls, your screen will not have direct contact with ground and it wont break.
Bump lol.
