[Q] FingerPrints on Backside of NeoV - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Compared to other android phones , the backside of NeoV (Blue) is glossy and very shiny. This glossy thing makes NEoV prone to fingerprints and over a day of use it looks dirty... have to clean it very often..
Front panel i have Matt Finish Scratch guard so no problems there.
Any solution for this?? I basically dont want a TPU or gel based back covers.

Wash your hands.......

I'd love to have some sort of matte foil for the back.

Indeed wash your hands, and why you ask this weird question:s ??
Try antifat middle to clean it or try a middle wet tissue and dry it with a dry tissue, not so hard todo or something else, put ducktape on it, sorry for that, weird question is a weird answer

So @mpiekp, @Pandemic, @monil.verma You wash ur hand every time before using ur phone ... How dumb someone can get...
Wen is wrote backside gets dirty , i meant the fingerprints...
To make u ppl understand better let me give u an example- Try using ur NEOV (if u have one) without the scratch guard (and ofcourse after washing ur hands 10 times) Now do u see some finger prints on the screen?? YES same finger prints are at the backside too. No matter even if your hands are washed u will still get fingerprints on Screen... TEST IT.
If you guys have not understood, pls put a pile of mud onto ur phone and see how dirty it gets.. than wash ur hands and use neo
I expect a mature reply next time, or just PM me and we will take things offline

Oh now you het smart?, you ask we gave a solution, and why neo ? It have the same backside, shiny etc or is it a different backside? I dont think so, i dont understand why you ask it and now give a solution,? So you already knows your answer !! So why a new thread!! And what do you mean, with the last words ?? Come to the netherlands and i will show you

No I don't wash my hands every time I touch my phone,, but I'm not neurotic enough for fingerprints on a handheld device, with a touchscreen to bother me. Carry a cloth and screen cleaner with you or wear gloves.
Actually get treatment for your OCD

[Q] Remove Scratches from screen?

Is there any way at all to remove scratches from my screen?

Short answer - no.
Long answer - all sorts of snakeoil claims out there, but is it worth the risk of worsening things? For me, no way
I've got one small scratch mid-screen, learnt to live with it..
I feared that would be the response, unfortuanetly my 11 month old daughter decided to drag it across the floor and it now has several minor scrathes on the screen and as you can imagine I am NOT happy!
Ouch.... Better tell her no Santa this year
Whem my daughter was a similar age she decided to rub 2 bottles of ketchup into a white carpet.. My wife still hasn't recovered.
this is why i bought screen protector XD so far ive scratched it twice heavily in under month... and u always get replacement if u bought it from zagg so yea just took off went to shop and got new one and installed it again never had scratch on the real screen only on the protector
http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/12504653/oem-touch-screen-glass-only-for
You'll need a heat gun and bags of courage. [Insert standard responsibility disclaimer here]
You can use certain glass cutters and they will remove scratches. I did so on my sgs i. works a treat if u fancy polishing for 2 hrs
The only problem will be you will remove the oiliophobic coating and fingerprints will show on the areas you have polished out but if you fit a screen protector on after the polish it wont cause an issue.

P.s id just like to add a disclaimer to do at yer own risk. Pm me if you want details on what i used. The finish on my sgs was fine once cleaned but the polished areas just collected fingerprints a lot more than other areas of the screen that hadnt been rubbed down. thats why a screen protector is recomended afterwards

Neo creaks...

Hi people!
My Xperia Neo creaks when I press the left side (the side that has no buttons).
-Is it normal?
thank you
Mine too, the left chrome panel can be pushes about .2 mm's to the inside.
Mine too,
I thought I was the only one, 'cuz my aunt has the same phone and it didn't _creak_. Why?!
It does not matter but I just wanted to know if I have a conception problem only on my Neo or not, apparently no.
Same here :/
Cheap ass plastic :/
Same here...but creaks from three sides- left, right and back(very little sound). And this same problem Neo v is facing also. I think its because of the green heart eco friendly thing.
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
You can easily remove the chrome side panels, so maybe put some glue on it/a little bit of oil and no more creaks.
got same here with my Neo V...
got the same here but placed a small piece of paper between the chrome panel and the phone body ... and no more creaks
Yes i have this problem too and i solve this problem like fire-warrior and now everythink is ok =))

Oh gosh... I just did the same as you, thank you! Bye _creaks_! <3 Well, the volume buttons creaks as well, but, it's different..
I did exactly the same about a week after I got my Neo Every little place that creaked is stuffed with small pieces of paper, result: totally creakfree Neo
@sdk16420
OMG dude!!! Thank you!!!
This phone is amazing for customisation!
200$ - Unlocked(able) bootloader - Ice cream Sandwich in 2012!
And with this video... in 2 minutes I have the 2 chrome sides in my hands and the touch screen glass!!! SO EASY
The Neo will be the new HTC Desire

humm.. I dont remember having creak sounds on my neo (altough i use a silicon cover so maybe it isolates the problem ), shouldn´t you guys use something like rubber or electrical tape instead of paper ?

or just glue it with some paper glue (so you can still disassemble it when necessary).
try to remove the back cover, you will find 3 screws at the right side facing your battery...
unscrew it the press the side which causing creaky sound then tight the screw not to much....
i also have that creaky, but when i did this any thing is fine... but no issues about this thing.....
Smart asses
I shall do that xD
Merci
It's such a relief - in a weird way- to know my Neo V isn't the only one making sounds ^_^
But inspite of (un)screwing around with it ,i also got a rubber case for, which also makes a little bit easier pressing the power button and makes it look fancy too!
Odd. I haven't noticed mine creak, especially now that it has it's protective hard plastic cover.

It should be safe..no worries...I dropped my old Neo face flat and dragged it while it was on the floor and no scratches .I got lucky

So when I got my Neo it came with screen protector which I applied on the screen... now the screen protector has some scratches and I'm wondering is the screen safe from scratches without the screen protector because I've read somewhere that beside the fact that it has scratch-resistant glass some people still got scratches. what do think?

Just don't put it in one pocked with your keys,Neo has mineralised glass(not Gorilla glass like iphones,but close enough)
yea been using it for 4 months now , no scratches so far been using it with a naked screen since day 1

Yeah. Really lucky. My 4 week old Neo V was just falling once into the ground. It landed with the upper left corner.
RESULT:
Broken Screen, just a real little part in the left upper corner. But. The Touchscreen isn't working anymore...
Did somebody had some problems with dust under the screen?! There were about 2 tiny "things" under it...
As the above posters said, the screen is scratch resistant. In those 4 weeks I've didn't had one.
Sorry for my english skills...
I cant imagine a smartphone without any screen protector. I have been using this one for couple months and it has already saved my screen from scratches (even from some small particles when you have it in your pocket). Its true that the tiny part of shield is irretrievably scratched (even they guarantee its indestructibility), but the display is like new. Thank god!
i would still buy a screen protector just to be sure if i were you,
you can get it really cheap on ebay or maybe other webshops.

I doubt that a bumper(like iphone one) exist for our Neo,maybe some cheap plastic cover,but it won't save from screen crack,for that need some rubber bumper or smth soft.

And 1 time fall "not right" -result..broken screen. But only protector screen. lucky me.
My Neo is too many many time dropped but...screen is like new after 7 months

My Neo v has a Small Scratch by my little Cousin with her Finger Nail..
And At the Center of my neo v .. it feels Like OIL has Dropped on My Screen , i tired to Remove it but it Doesnt. What Can be???
and what about silicon cases.....it's really helps? it's easy to find on the internet? cause i don't think i will find a good 1 here in Brazil......
Im between a optimus black and a xperia neo.... probably going for the neo... it's cheaper and i liked it a lil bit more than the optimus.....
Got my Neo a screen protector since day one. Been using it for more than a month... Got my protector some scratches... Well I think putting a screen protector is better rather than having none. Got nothing to loose right? just a few bucks (LOL) Im more concerned on getting some scratches on its back cover so I got a silicon case. Drop my phone twice, no dents or whatever...

hmmm.. You said it was scratched? Does it look like a dead pixel or stuck pixel? if it is a stuck pixel, you could search for the web on fixing it. Dark spots are caused by an excess pressure and sadly some of them grows larger just like on TVs, LCD monitors etc.... Its either, you try fixing it, or get your unit replaced.....
Been using a screen protector and a leather case with flip cover from the day I brought phone and it's been 4 months now and not a single scratch in phone

Earlier i had samsung ace .... it had gorilla glass... so didnt put screen guard on it .... and it went guud.... can se lww handle normal day to day without screen guard ??

I have never used screen protectors. That is because, I don't need one, I take care of my phone(it hasn't fallen...yet xD).
I never wear the phone in the same pocket with coins, keys etc. No scratches on the phone at all.
Can't thank you enough in one day ( only 8 thanks per day ) .... thanks for replying to my every query..
Well screenguards are all a matter of personal preference. I ALWAYS have used and will be using screen guards. Mostly because the active has the strap that has an aluminium "lock"? on it, and it so happens to be going on the screen over and over again, resulting to scratching it. Even though the Active has Dragontrail glass, which is said to be much stronger than Gorrila, i just cant bare to see a single scratch on the screen

Nope, it is not gorilla glass. It is shatterproof mineral glass with (apparently) scratchproof layer. Apparently, not sure how scratchproof it is.
I do not have any scratches on my LWW, but it is because I take care of my phone. I haven't tested, if it really is scratchproof, neither am I going to test it.

How can scratches appear during playing games?
as long as they didn't say that the screen is 'scratch proof' i will always put screen guard
I have dropped my phone twice (accidentally of course) around 3ft high. No scratch so far, also it use to stay on my pocket together with coins and key. So far smooth screen and back cover. But since it easily caught smudge from frequent texting; I installed matted screen protector.

There is no special screenguard for this phone, buy a regular one, which is large enough and cut it to smaller, so it would fit the LWW.
well i have one that is specially for LWW, just search the internet
actually iI went to the store and they told me that it will arrive on saturday. that means there is screen guard that fits to lww

It would be cool if you can do the same for the front bezel.
yes only you have it
What a waste of a Z Ultra. Seeing the photo hurt me.
The back of the glass has a powder coat that gives it its black shine, I simply went over it with a Stanley blade for 30 minutes and it came off a piece of cake
The only thing keeping the phone waterproof is some adhesive tape that you'll find holding down any phone display which was a shock to see something so basic to keep the water out.
I only Tried it because I've got an Expensive vinyl gold carbon fibre film coming and a glass screen protector in the post tomorrow so if it did go wrong id be covering it up anyway. its a shame there's no motherboard to look at though just a big ass battery

			
				
not digging it... but congrats?
Do you take off all the panels on your car, exposing all the wires and structural metal too?
You've turned a sexy device into an eyesore.
^^ @ avetny, BEST picture in the thread, made me ****king laugh out hard.
The .GIF with Putin smiling says it all. :laugh:
I'm glad your happy with it's uniqueness but to my eyes it has completely ruined the aesthetic appeal of the device. Like it looks homemade and not in a good way.
